Chapter 35 The Disciples
A few days passed in a blink of an eye.
Today is a very important day, and it is a very meaningful day for the entire Liuyue City. Because today's people from the Immortal Sect will come here to choose disciples.
Early in the morning, before dawn, the streets were already crowded. Countless people, big and small, men, women, young and old, were surging towards the city gate. The noisy sounds and all kinds of restlessness, if Mo Zhaoxie hadn't known that today was a grand event for the selection of disciples in the Immortal Sect, he would have thought that the entire Liuyue City would have been in riots.
Originally, Mo Zhaoxie planned to sleep until dawn. Because the selection of disciples in the Immortal Sect is not a market to buy pork. You can buy fresh ones if you go early. Therefore, getting up early is useless. But the noise in the inn is really annoying. When Mo Zhaoxie narrowed his eyes and ran out to settle the score, he found that the inn was closed and even the waiter ran away.
Mo Zhaoxie casually drew water by the well and washed his face, and slowly came to the kitchen. He found that there was no other food except some cold dishes and cold steamed buns. There were some ingredients, but if he really started cooking, he would really not be able to catch up with the choice of apprentices. He had no choice but to just have to eat. In any case, the plan for a day is in the morning, and breakfast is still very important.
In this way, Mo Zhaoxie sat alone on the window of the second floor of Yuelai Inn with a few plates of side dishes and gnawed a few cold buns. While eating, he looked at the crowd of people with a hurried look and excited expression below.
Suddenly, Mo Zhaoxie's expression moved. The bamboo chopsticks in his hand swung out.
Abstinence originally planned to find a place to make a difference. Unexpectedly, after walking many places, there was no food. At this time, I saw a young man sitting alone in the small building of Yuelai Inn, eating meals leisurely. He smiled slightly and thought that there was indeed a way out. However, he had just climbed to the small building and had not spoken yet. He had not even recited the Buddha's name in his life, but he saw a pair of bamboo chopsticks shooting towards him.
As soon as you clamp your fingers with your bamboo chopsticks, you will be silently clamped into your fingers. You chant the Buddha's name with your mouth, "Amitabha, donor of drinking, we meet again."
Mo Zhaoxie just now suddenly felt someone silently invading him, but he was so slow and unaware of it. In shock, the bamboo chopsticks in his hand in instinctively swung out until he saw clearly that the person coming was the lustful monk he met last night.
"The lustful monk?" Mo Zhao said evilly.
Hearing the word "descendant monk", Jae Se's expression suddenly turned dark. The bamboo chopsticks in his hand slid silently from his fingers, and he opened his mouth for a long time but didn't know how to defend himself. After a long time, he said, "Donor, you misunderstood me."
Mo Zhaoxie looked at Jue Se with a look of disbelief.
"Oh," Jiese sighed heavily. She sat opposite Mo Zhaoxie, and without asking, she picked up the steamed buns and bamboo chopsticks on the table and ate on her own.
Mo Zhaoxie looked at the monk Jiese and said, "If you don't ask, you are a thief. Monk, you have broken the precept."
The monk Jiese kept eating his fingers and was consuming himself quickly. He filled his mouth with food and said vaguely: "This is the apology that the donor just slandered the poor monk."
"Buddhist schools emphasize that all four elements are empty, and all six elements are empty." Mo Zhao smiled evilly, "I think the master is really not clean at all."
The monk abstinent glanced at Mo Zhaoxie and continued to eat without saying goodbye.
Mo Zhaoxie glanced at Shi Chen, stood up and said to the monk Jiese, "Master, I have something to do. Let me go." After that, he jumped out of the window and stepped on the roof and headed towards the city gate very quickly.
The monk Jiese looked at Mo Zhaoxie running towards the city gate, smiled slightly, and continued to bury his head and eat.
At this time, the city gate was really crowded. If it weren't for the army's maintenance of order, Mo Zhaoxie would have doubted whether the crowd wanted to push the city wall. Mo Zhaoxie had no intention of standing in the crowd and smelling the smell of sweat. He stood alone on the roof. Looking at the crowd below and the empty city tower.
"Here!" A shout attracted Mo Zhaoxie's attention. It was not how loud the sound was, which could overwhelm the crowd. But Mo Zhaoxie heard that the sound was made by Tong Yi. Mo Zhaoxie turned around and saw that Tong Yi's burly body was huddled in the crowd and was waving to him. Beside him, Tong Jia was also there. The two of them saw Mo Zhaoxie's eyes and nodded in response to Mo Zhaoxie.
Next to Tong Jia and Tong Yi, there are two children who look about ten years old. The boy who looks a lot of energy and looks excited at the city gate. He thinks it is Tong Jia's child. The little girl wearing a pink dress and red cheeks is Tong Yi's daughter.
Seeing Tong Yi greeting Mo Zhaoxie, the boy and the girl looked at Mo Zhaoxie. The boy just glanced casually and looked at the city gate again. However, the girl stayed on Mo Zhaoxie for a long time before turning her eyes away.
Mo Zhaoxie didn't care about the eyes of the two children, and seemed to have sensed it and looked at the distant horizon. At this time, he saw a black dot suddenly appear in the bright horizon. The black dot grew rapidly in Mo Zhaoxie's eyes, as if it had arrived above the city gate in an instant. Mo Zhaoxie looked closely and couldn't tell what it felt. Because Mo Zhaoxie had seen the things that appeared in the Ten Thousand Demon Forest, it was the big ship that Mu Bai and others rode on when they finally left.
At this time, a large ship was also hanging above the city gate, and it looked exactly the same as the one from Mu Bai and others. The only difference was that there were many stars arranged on this large ship, shining, and it looked like a beautiful starry sky.
Mo Zhaoxie seemed calm because he had seen such a big ship. However, the crowd below did not have the experience of Mo Zhaoxie. When they saw the large hanging ship suddenly appeared above the city gate, they all showed a look of awe. In their perception, this was a divine object that only immortals could use.
With the emergence of the big ship, the noisy crowd instantly quieted down. Everyone stared at the hanging ship in a flash, revealing a deep look of yearning and awe. No one dared to speak loudly under the divine ship, for fear that their words would disturb the sacred objects of the immortal gate.
At this time, a sound came from the ship. Then more than a dozen white figures jumped down from the ship. They fell on the open ground in front of the city gate like divine weapons from the sky. The figures falling down were all wearing white clothes and long swords on their backs, and there were many stars on the white clothes. They looked really like a fairy-like aura, ethereal and light.
The dozen people who fell, including men and women, were handsome and beautiful, beautiful and elegant. They swept through the crowd, withdrew their gazes, and stood calmly in the scene.
Just as people were still marveling at the aura of more than a dozen people, one person fell from the big boat again. There was only one person wearing white clothes, with ink hair as waterfall, with silver swords on his back, and his star robe fluttering, and he was extremely handsome. As soon as this person appeared, he became the protagonist of the world, as if all the lights in the world were blooming for this person at this time. The man in white slowly landed on the open space and smiled slightly at the crowd.
"A god!"
"So handsome!"
...
The shouts of countless children and the idiots were heard one after another, and the shouts were rushing into the sky.
The man in white waved his hands slightly, and the shouts of the crowd suddenly became quiet. Only a sound like a heavenly sound was heard, "Today, Qianxingmen is selected for their disciples. First of all, thank you for your strong help from Liuyue City. Here, Xue Xinghui, a disciple of Ziwei Peak of Qianxingmen, thanks you all. Okay, the selection of disciples begins." Xue Xinghui waved his hand and took two steps back and ended his words briefly.
At this time, a man in white in Thousand Stars Gate walked out and glanced at the crowd. He stretched out his hand and saw a golden treasure mirror appearing in his hand. The surroundings of the treasure mirror were carved into various strange patterns of beasts. However, in the middle of the mirror, it was not a smooth mirror, but was constantly rippling like a pool of clear water.
"Get up!" The man in white held a golden treasure mirror and saw it grow in the wind. In an instant, he turned into a huge mirror of three feet in size and floated upright in front of everyone.
"All children or teenagers under the age of sixteen can travel through the mirror. If you have good bones and high qualifications, you can naturally pass through the mirror without any harm. If you can't, please give up. The road to seeking immortality should not be forced! OK! Start!" After that, the man in white retreated and looked at the children and teenagers who were eager to try in the crowd.
After the scene had a brief silence, the excited children finally couldn't help but feel excited. They all stepped forward and held their energy toward the Golden Treasure Mirror. What made Mo Zhaoxie laugh and cry was that the children who had not yet fully learned to walk were also walking step by step towards the mirror under the instigation of the adults.
Just as the man in white said, the road to seeking immortality should not be forced. In front of the mirror that seems to be a distinction between heaven and man, there are excitement and screams after passing through easily, and there are crying that is useless to no matter how hard it is. Some parents see their children passing through the mirror, and naturally some parents hug their children and whisper softly will have a chance to comfort them.
Mo Zhaoxie watched people succeed and more people fail. But he always looked calmly and never stepped forward. He was not very interested in those children who tried, but stared at the golden mirror, looking extremely interested.
Among those who kept trying, Mo Zhaoxie was the two children of Tong Jia and Tong Yi. But it was gratifying that the two children seemed to have good qualifications, and both of them successfully passed through the mirror. Suddenly, Tong Jia and Tong Yi couldn't help laughing.
Mo Zhaoxie saw that it was almost done, so he jumped down from the roof. After following a group of children, big or small, he walked towards the golden mirror.
It was soon Mo Zhaoxie's turn. Mo Zhaoxie stood in front of the golden treasure mirror that was suspended in three meters. In front of him was the mirror that looked like water surface, still rippling. Take a deep breath, calm down and step towards the mirror in front of him.
The feeling of passing through the mirror was like suddenly falling into warm water. A heart-warming feeling invaded the whole body in an instant. It made people feel much more comfortable. This feeling couldn't help but make Mo Zhaoxie close his eyes, and he was enjoying this warm feeling that looked like in his mother's arms.
But the next moment, the feeling disappeared instantly. Mo Zhaoxie suddenly opened his eyes and saw that he had successfully passed through the mirror. The rippling mirror stood in the air behind him.
"It's pretty good." Mo Zhao smiled evilly.
After Mo Zhaoxie, the test for all children was completed soon. Looking at the many big or small heads around him, looking at the crowd of people who seemed to be no longer in the same world as him. Mo Zhaoxie felt an inexplicable sadness for some reason.
In the end, the test of thousands of people was only a few dozen people. The man in white came forward to collect the golden treasure mirror and looked at Xue Xinghui. Xue Xinghui stepped forward and looked at the dozens of people left, and nodded with satisfaction. "Let's go." Then, with a light wave, he flew up, and dozens of people, including Mo Zhaoxie, boarded the ship with Xue Xinghui under a gentle force.
More than a dozen men in white boarded the ship later.
The boat slowly started, and there were children who excitedly waved goodbye to their relatives below, there were children who cried and wanted to find their mother, and there were boys like Mo Zhaoxie who looked at the smaller and smaller ground below, revealing a confused look.
Don’t Zhao Xie stand in the crowd and feel the gentle wind blowing. The mind is stirring, and you are about to enter the immortal gate!
