A touch of pink just appeared in the eastern sky, and even the lazy thin clouds last night had not been dyed into color. The bells rang in this green valley that stretched for tens of thousands of miles.
A bell rings in one place and responds in hundreds of places.
On hundreds of bell towers built on the top of small mountain peaks, the burly disciples of the Vinaya sect pushed the bell hammers, striking the giant bronze bells that were more than ten feet high and weighed hundreds of cauldrons.
There was faint light flowing around these handyman disciples, and there were talismans on their ears. The huge bronze bell roared, and the sound waves washed over their bodies like tides, making their steps feel frivolous. If it weren't for the protection of the talisman, their brains would have been shattered and they would have died tragically on the spot.
A large group of energetic disciples wearing gray robes knocked on the doors of various houses.
There was also a handyman deacon with blood stripes tattooed on his sleeves, standing on a high place and blowing a sharp whistle. Like the whistle of an eagle soaring into the sky, the talismans on the doors and windows of various houses floated. The talismans that originally blocked the sound suddenly amplified the whistle several times and blasted into the room.
After not sleeping well all night, the Tejin disciples who were feeling uneasy jumped up one after another, hurriedly looking for the clothes they had taken off last night.
Yin Xuuge dressed neatly and walked out of the house with five followers. A handyman disciple was already waiting respectfully outside the door, leading them to rush towards a square surrounded by green water dozens of miles away.
In the surrounding mansions, many Tejin disciples with weathered looks on their faces and thick, calloused hands, who were obviously from the grassroots, had already come out and were also running towards the square under the leadership of the handyman disciples.
But in the neighboring house, many pampered special visitors could be heard yelling angrily.
Either they couldn't find the golden crown to tie their hair, or because their favorite jade bracelet was missing, or because no one brought them water or balm to rinse their mouths, or because they got up for no reason and were angry at their servants. He yelled angrily.
Some young ladies from noble families usually get up early in the morning, and there are at least seventy or eighty maids, maids and old ladies waiting outside their doors, otherwise they would not be able to complete a complete set of tasks for getting up.
However, last night, all the maids and maids they brought with them were driven out of the area where the inner disciples lived, leaving only carefully selected followers and a pitiful number of maids and servants with them.
The followers around these young masters and young ladies are also members of aristocratic families, and their lifestyles are also extremely amazing. How can a mere ten maids and maids withstand their service
Amid the disturbances, shouting and cursing, the handyman disciples standing at the entrances of these mansions all showed gloating smiles.
They knocked on the door a few times and said hello a few times, but there was no more sound. The handyman disciples stood like stone sculptures at the door of the mansion, waiting quietly for these young masters and ladies of noble background to walk out.
"It's not all trash."
Yin Xuege took a deep look at the young men around her who were also running quickly.
Everyone was wearing the same blood-colored robes, with the same identity plate of a ninth-grade disciple hanging around their waists.
However, Yin Xuuge and others did not have many ornaments on their bodies, while the hands, buns, and necks of these fair-faced and extraordinary-looking young men were decorated with various exquisite ornaments that exuded faint fluctuations of vitality. object.
For example, these young people have the storage rings on Yinxue Singer. And at least one person wore four of them.
Moreover, the storage rings on their hands were more exquisite than the ones on Yinxue Singer. There were more talisman arrays faintly emanating from inside, and the light was more moist and lively. It was obviously much better than his quality.
Being able to have such equipment, yet being able to get up and change clothes so quickly, following the handyman disciples as they rushed to the square, shows that they are not playboys.
The large group of people ran forward along the forest road, turned several hills, crossed several long bridges, and appeared in front of a deep pool with a radius of dozens of miles. More than a dozen large and small rivers converge here, and finally merge into one big river and continue to flow forward.
The deep pool with abundant water is dark green in color, with countless fish scale-like ripples looming on the surface. It is obvious that the water in the pool is moving at an alarming speed, and there are countless whirlpools and undercurrents below.
The three long bridges are like rainbows, leading from the shore to the artificial square square in the middle of the deep pool.
The square, which is ten miles long and wide, is only two feet above the water. The pool water hits the square and sets off waves several feet high.
To the north of the square, a small viewing platform was built. Nangong Nan was wearing a red robe and sitting steadily on a big chair in the middle of the viewing platform. On his left hand side, the beautiful and moonlike figure looks like a mixture of an iceberg and a volcano. The enchanting Lan Lan stands in awe with her hands lowered. Behind them, there are two rows of hundreds of disciples of the Vinaya Sect wearing blood robes.
Led by the handyman disciples to the bridge, the handyman disciples stopped one after another, bowed to Yin Xuuge and others, and then stood motionless on the roadside with their hands down.
Yin Xuuge and other special inner disciples walked quickly onto the long bridge and arrived at the square.
The flat square was clean, and Yin Xuege and other inner disciples who arrived first naturally walked towards the parade platform. Several disciples of the Vinaya Sect stood under the platform. They held bloody sticks and shouted loudly, ordering the disciples who arrived to form a neat queue.
Nangong Nan and Lan Lan glanced at Yin Xuege at the same time. Nangong Nan smiled and gestured to him with a slight wave of her left hand.
Lan Lan glanced at him, then raised her chin slightly, and looked at the southern sky with ecstasy. On the horizon, a streak of clouds passed by, and the rising sun in the east dyed the streak of clouds a light red.
With a flick of his finger, Nangong Nan took out a three-inch long incense stick after Yin Xuuge and others stood in front of the stage.
The incense burns spontaneously without wind, and a wisp of green smoke rises.
Yin Xuuge looked at the incense and judged how fast it burned. The specially made incense burns much faster than ordinary incense. The length of three inches can only last for less than a quarter of an hour at most.
The incense sticks were burning little by little, and people rushed to the square through three long bridges behind them.
When two-thirds of the incense was burned, the Tejin disciples who came from behind were all restrained to the other side by the Vinaya disciples holding sticks. Yin Xuuge looked back and saw that there were probably more than two thousand such unlucky people.
In the end, the incense stick burned out on Nangong Nan's fingertips.
On the long bridge in the distance, there were nearly a thousand people slowly walking towards the square with their followers.
Disciples of the Vinaya Sect have already stepped forward to greet them and completely sealed the three long bridges. As soon as those special disciples reached the end of the bridge, they were hit hard on the head with sticks, beating them on the spot with bloody wounds. Some even had their bones broken and fell to the ground crying and screaming.
"You are too late."
Nangong Nan flicked her fingers, and a wisp of incense ash fell from her fingertips.
He sighed lightly, and the sigh echoed throughout the audience.
"Since you don't follow the rules of our Vinaya sect, why are you joining the Vinaya sect?"
"Each person scolded a hundred sticks and rushed them all back. The Vinaya Sect does not want waste."
Footsteps sounded all around, and a large group of outer disciples of the Vinaya Sect appeared out of nowhere, wearing white clothes and holding heavy sticks. These outer disciples formed a tight military formation, shouting slogans loudly, and pressed on the special disciples who were lingering at Changqiao and were at a loss.
A special disciple screamed heartbreakingly.
"The person who recommended me to join the Vinaya Sect is..."
A stick was stabbed hard, right into his mouth, smashing his big teeth into pieces.
"Idiot, even if the person who recommends you to enter the inner sect of the Vinaya Sect is an elder of the sect, if you dare to disrespect the rules, you have to get out."
Nangong Nan just smiled and waved gently.
These special disciples who were late enough to walk onto the long bridge were beaten randomly by several times the number of outer disciples. They did not dare to fight back. Even if they did, they were no match for the outer disciples who formed the military formation.
The specially-made sticks were beaten randomly, beating the special Jin disciples on the long bridge until their bones were broken and their tendons cracked. Then two outer disciples waited on one person, dragging these special Jin disciples who were beaten with blood all over their bodies and turned around and left. .
Along the way, belated special disciples kept walking slowly, but before they could figure out what was going on, they were beaten by the wolf-like outer disciples and were all knocked to the ground in an instant. They were all picked up and thrown out of the Luzong gate.
"As for you, if you come a little late, you will be punished!"
After looking at the disciples who came after two-thirds of the incense was burned, Nangong Nan waved his hand gently.
"Register the roster and deduct all the cultivation elixirs for this month."
The special disciples trembled for a while, and they opened their mouths to say something, but when the disciples of the Vinaya Sect holding sticks around them glared at them, they all bowed their heads obediently.
Clear markings are carved on the ground of the square.
The bloody square is for the inner disciples to stand.
Behind the inner disciples, there is a row of five white squares for their followers to stand on.
After everyone stood according to the signs on the ground, Nangong Nan on the platform counted briefly and calculated the number of disciples present.
"This place is called Green Valley, and it is specially used for the cultivation and daily living of inner disciples."
"You are all deacons and inspectors of our Vinaya Sect who are traveling outside, and are specifically recommended to join the inner sect."
"No matter what the reasons are for your recommendation, from today on, you are disciples of the Vinaya Sect."
"There are 18,972 disciples present."
"There are thirty-four thousand five hundred and thirty-six disciples outside the field."
Hearing the numbers counted by Nangong Nan, Yin Xuege knew that among the disciples of the special inner sect present, those with five followers were a minority after all. There are many special entrants who have no family background and rely entirely on their own efforts to enter the inner sect of the Vinaya Sect. They may only have one or two followers, or they may not have any followers.
All disciples wear the uniforms of the Vinaya sect.
A disciple of Nemen Te, wearing a pure blood robe, with a pure blood token hanging around his waist.
The disciples who follow the outer sect wear white robes and hang blood-colored tokens around their waists, but there are black lines on the tokens.
The identity tokens on everyone's body emitted faint fluctuations of vitality. These tokens are not only a symbol of identity, but also a protective talisman and a pass token. Walking in the Vinaya Sect, those without identity tokens may be killed at any time.
