people pile.
Or a human tree. As the name suggests, it is to use people as trees, plant them one by one, let them grow and grow, and then bear fruit.
When Lu Sheng thought of this possibility, he could vaguely feel the breath rising from the people around him.
This breath is like mist and smoke, illusory and ethereal, if he hadn't had a strong sense of energy such as magic yuan, he would not have felt it at all.
Lu Sheng raised his eyes and saw that everyone around him, even Cheng Kongzi on the edge of the cliff, exuded an inexplicable aura.
All the aura condensed into a blurry lake above the head, rippling and flowing.
"This is...!?" Lu Sheng stared at the small lake.
The colorless and transparent lake of breath covered the heads of everyone present, like a real liquid lake, stirring up slight ripples from time to time.
"Now, imagine the rising sun, absorbing the myriad rays of light..." Cheng Kongzi made a sound at this time.
Suddenly, as soon as the voice fell, some people's heads below rose up with a golden thread. The golden thread shoots into the small lake above, like a snake sucking mist everywhere.
While some people were indifferent, there was a faint golden appearance on the top of their heads, but they couldn't condense at all, and they were forcibly broken by other gold threads after a few strokes, and they were sucked and digested.
"Sure enough..." Lu Sheng was secretly startled, as expected, the people here, the practitioners here, are more cruel than those in Song Dynasty.
Da Song is a person with no qualifications and no blood, so he can only live a peaceful and stable life as an ordinary person.
Here, the big Yin is to plunder other people's energy and strengthen oneself. The strong get stronger and the weak get weaker. The gap between classes is even greater.
He vaguely saw that Cheng Kongzi devoured the most smoke, almost half of the entire small lake was swallowed by him, and the rest were eaten by those qualified disciples.
As for the so-called qualified people, there are only one-tenth of them.
Morning class is over soon.
Zhong Yuan and the others all have qualifications. Although they haven't felt angry yet, they can already feel something strange in their bodies, so they all have some anticipation and excitement. Standing together in high spirits, discussing something anxiously in a low voice.
The rest of the people without the golden thread were mentally exhausted, looking tired for a long time.
Lu Sheng stood aside alone, looking up at the sky.
Over the entire Chunyang faction, there is a layer of light golden shield faintly floating. Before, he thought it was a huge protective formation formed by the Chunyang faction, but now he looked at it again, and he realized that it was an energy absorption formation. .
This formation will absorb all the essence of the organisms below all the time.
"It's a cruel world." When he joined the sect, all he saw was a harmonious and peaceful scene. But now that he knows the truth, he suddenly feels the viciousness of this Chunyang faction's scheming.
But on second thought, he is afraid that these practitioners themselves may not necessarily know what the essence of this kind of practice is.
The strong suck the weak, the weak suck the weaker, and the weak suck the average person. And ordinary people... will be weaker if they don't practice martial arts.
"Brother Lu, how are you? Do you have that itchy feeling?" Zhang Kairong approached and asked in a low voice.
Lu Sheng ignored him.
"Brother Lu naturally won't have any questions, isn't it superfluous to ask this?" Zhong Yuan spoke for Lu Sheng.
"If you have a sense of aura within three days, you can directly become an inner sect." Chen Fengnan was a little nervous, but more confident and expectant. "Our inner disciples of the Chunyang Sect have always been fixed at one hundred and thirty-two. There is an assessment every year to weed out the weak and promote the strong. It's not enough to just have a sense of aura. Do you want to learn some martial arts for self-defense?"
Several people were discussing messy topics while rushing back in the direction of going back. It was approaching noon and it was time for lunch.
However, Lu Sheng still remembered the scene of the pale golden shield that he saw just now.
If his guess is correct, this big Yin... the actual situation is more cruel than Da Song.
After lunch, he didn't go back to take a nap. Instead, he pretended to take a walk and came to the logistics hall on the side of the Dao Palace.
This is the area where chores such as cooking fires and carrying water are located. Newly joined disciples with average aptitude will also be assigned here to do chores first.
If one can generate a sense of qi, then one is qualified to be a disciple, no matter whether it is inside or outside the sect, at least one will not be a handyman, if one cannot produce a sense of qi, then one can only be a handyman.
Lu Sheng first passed by the kitchen area. From the outside of the yard, he could see that there were many people busy carrying water and chopping firewood. It was very lively.
He was dressed in a clean and tidy Tsing Yi, which looked a bit eye-catching in this oily and smoky area.
Before anyone came forward to ask him what was the matter, Lu Sheng left first. Then he passed the Discipline Academy, the Supplies Hall, and the Pill Artifact Hall in turn, until he walked to the root-seeking hall at the end.
The front of the Xungen Hall was deserted and deserted, and only occasionally some disciples came out of it with a dazed expression. These disciples walked out of the Dao Palace under the watchful eyes of the guards with their burdens on their backs.
"No! Don't! I don't want to leave!!" Someone could vaguely hear someone screaming in the hall.
"Then let's do chores. When you have cultivated a sense of energy, you can enter the outer door." A calm female voice came from it.
Lu Sheng stood at the door, and soon saw several distraught gray-clothed disciples coming out with each other's support. One of them was a girl, her eyes were swollen from crying, and her knees were full of blood. She was supported by her companion, her face was pale, Bite your lower lip. Obviously the sound is most likely made by her.
Several people also saw Lu Sheng standing outside, noticed the green clothes and logo on his body, envy and awe flashed in their eyes, and then quickly lowered their heads, for fear that others would see the complicated emotions in their eyes.
Lu Sheng squinted his eyes, and saw these people passing by him, drifting away into the distance.
He looked around, turned around and left slowly.
In the afternoon, it was time to continue to practice hard and try to develop a sense of qi, but Lu Sheng didn't care. He could already grasp that kind of qi. It was a variant of the inner qi he practiced on weekdays. Qi is purer and stronger, but its essence is still inner Qi.
This kind of qi is also called qi by the people here, but the full name is true qi. In order to distinguish it from the inner qi produced by ordinary inner strength.
True qi is stronger than inner qi, but not as good as qi liquid, nor as magical energy or magic element. It is an intermediate energy.
But what surprised Lu Sheng was that this way of cultivating true qi was transformed by plundering other people's qi.
He left the logistics hall and left the Dao Palace alone.
The Chunyang Sect has never had any restrictions on the freedom of the disciples, they can leave as they want, and they can go back as soon as they want. It is probably because they are sure that no one is willing to leave here, so they are so relaxed.
According to the address he knew before, Lu Sheng traveled all the way to Suyue County, and found Wu Quansheng's Wu family mansion in a downtown area.
Along the way, he could feel the eyes of passers-by and people looking at him, something was wrong.
Envy, awe, horror, all kinds of complicated sights mixed together, messy, Lu Sheng felt like a spotlight for the first time, all the light was cast on him from all directions.
It can be seen that the clothes of the Chunyang school have an influence on ordinary people.
In front of the Wu family mansion, two gatekeepers were lazily yawning and chatting about something. When they saw Lu Sheng approaching, they got up quickly, and then carefully saw the two big characters of Chunyang embroidered on Lu Sheng's body. , two flattering smiles were forcefully squeezed out on their faces, and they took the initiative to lean forward.
"It turns out that the lord from Chunyang has arrived. I don't know why the lord came here? He was looking for my master. He went to a faraway place today and hasn't come back yet." A servant said first.
The door opened behind him, and a faint figure trotted to inform the people in the mansion.
"I'm looking for Wu Quansheng." Lu Sheng said lightly.
"Young master failed the exam again... how did you know...?" A servant couldn't help muttering, but was immediately pushed by another person, interrupting his voice.
"Immediately, wait a moment, we will inform the young master immediately!"
Lu Sheng was ushered into the mansion, and before he reached the main hall, he saw Wu Quansheng trotting over in a hurry, his face glowing red, before he arrived, he bent down and bowed to Lu Sheng.
"Brother Lu! Thank you for your kindness before!"
"It's just a little effort." Lu Sheng said lightly. "I'm here because I want to ask you something."
"Elder brother has anything, as long as the younger brother knows, he will never hide it!" Wu Quansheng said excitedly.
It could be seen that he was very happy, he failed the rankings one after another, and his status as the young master in the family also plummeted, much worse than the initial level of attention.
Now that Lu Sheng, a selected disciple of the Chunyang Sect, came to him, this also improved his status in the family a lot.
The two entered Wu Quansheng's small courtyard, and the servant served snacks such as dried fruits, and then brought two cups of sour plum soup to relieve the heat.
"Brother Lu, if you have anything to say, just tell me. As long as it can be done, I, Wu Quansheng, will not say anything, and I will definitely help you!" Wu Quansheng mistakenly thought that Lu Sheng came to borrow money, but speaking of it, he usually came to him Almost all of them borrow money.
"I didn't borrow money." Lu Sheng said casually. "I just want to inquire about a few things."
"Inquire about the situation? Brother Lu, tell me." Wu Quansheng said solemnly from the seat.
"Don't worry, it's not a confidential matter. I just want to ask. The Chunyang Sect recruits new disciples every time. Every year, many disciples are eliminated and leave. How are these eliminated disciples? Do you know?" Lu Sheng Seriously.
"Eliminate disciples..." Wu Quansheng was stunned, "A journey of practice, if you don't advance, you will retreat, like sailing against the current, if you succeed, you will embark on the road. The greater the adverse effect on oneself, it is estimated that they are either dead, or most of them are weak and weak... "
"Weak and weak?"
"Yes, the practice before losing the sense of qi is all consumption of oneself. Only after the sense of qi is cultivated can one feed back one's own deficiencies, fill up one's true life, and restore one's lifespan. This is not only the Chunyang sect, but also many in the distance. All the sects are the same." Wu Quansheng said seriously. "To be honest, I have also been to other sects to learn from teachers, but I was stuck at this stage. If it weren't for my family being relatively well-to-do, with a lot of nourishing and conditioning, and exercising external skills, I am afraid that I would have been weak because of my lack of body. It's unbearable."
"Can Qi sense be practiced alone?" Lu Sheng asked again.
"This... I don't know, but it's the same for several sects. In the early stage, you must practice in the place designated by the sect, otherwise it will be useless. After you have a sense of aura, you can probably practice alone. But without a spiritual place, progress will be very slow. "Wu Quansheng replied.
He was a little strange, isn't these things common sense? Brother Lu asked this, is there some kind of special intention? He has no way of knowing.
"Understood..." Lu Sheng nodded, "If you have trouble, you can come to Chunyang School to find me."
"Uh..." Wu Quansheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately saw Lu Sheng turn around and leave the yard, walking towards the distance. He also wanted to ask how to find it when the time came, so many people from Chunyang Sect... .
But Lu Sheng didn't even give him a chance to ask. The figure obviously walked slowly, but disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Returning to Chunyang School, Lu Sheng also began to formally practice Chaoyangyi Qigong.
In the early morning of the second day, he and the others had a group morning class on the edge of the cliff.
