The two old men looked sideways and saw that it was the six or seven children by the river who were playing in a vindictive manner, but they went a little too far and caused a little commotion.
Although the mortal cities under the Lingluo Sect are managed in a clear and harmonious manner, the people are martial in nature. Even children who usually have quarrels will simply use duels to resolve conflicts.
At this time, the two children under the willow tree by the river were competing with each other in boxing and kicking skills. Although they were only 6 years old, their martial arts skills seemed to be quite good. The wicker branches were cut and broken by the strong wind, flying in the air.
The two children were already showing off their skills and were fighting tooth and nail. The two little girls who were watching were very scared and kept trying to persuade them. They were about to cry in anxiety. However, they not only did not stop, but became even braver.
Fists and kicks flew back and forth. The two of them moved while fighting. You and I were going back and forth without paying attention. One of them actually retreated to the river, unable to hold back and about to fall into the river. However, he was extremely fast. When he stepped on the air, He grabbed his opponent with one hand and dragged him into the river. They both fell into the river. They did not stop and continued to struggle in the river.
But after all, they couldn't use their hands and feet in the river, and their entanglement really turned into a struggle with each other. As they floated up and down in the water, there was a faint childish conversation between them, "Do you admit defeat?" "You?" Admit defeat first." "Are you still going to snatch Fangfang from me?" "Fangfang is mine"
At the age of eight, he has already started chasing girls.
The companions watching by the river were now even more anxious and kept shouting to stop.
But the two children who refused to admit defeat vowed to beat each other until they bowed their heads. Even when they drank a few sips of water from each other in the river, they still looked stubborn and kept moving. During the scuffle, the two of them sank into the river. In the river, it didn't float for a while.
The five companions suddenly panicked. Someone called for adults, and the two girls ran away. The other three boys jumped into the river without hesitation to rescue the two.
Nowadays, there is joy everywhere in the city. Most of the adults go to the streets to celebrate and have fun, but few are at home. The riverside is also a little remote. If you are not an expert monk, it is difficult to notice.
The two old men are immortal-level figures, although they understand the scene very clearly.
However, they had no intention of rescuing them. Instead, they had some discussions about the matter. One of them said, "Even an eight-year-old child has such a brave and persevering heart. Compared with other places, it is really much stronger."
"Not only that, but just now I saw that the fists and kicks of both sides were strong, and their cultivation level was already quite high. I am afraid that it is just like this when they are officially admitted as disciples of the sect elsewhere, but here, they have not yet reached the entry level. This shows the high quality of the children here. , no wonder there are people from every sect squatting here secretly, waiting for opportunities to recruit unnoticed talents."
"It is said that the city administrators provide unified education to the children under their jurisdiction. No matter how poor they are, they can go to school for free. They distribute a certain amount of pills every month to promote the children's cultivation. I thought it was just a false rumor, but now I see it is true. "
"I am afraid that this work cannot be imitated elsewhere. Various forces control it, and all resources are concentrated in the hands of a small number of people. In poor families, it is difficult to cultivate talents in time, and talents are buried. It is sad."
"The rise of Lingluo Sect is no accident." The two old men originally only stayed in a remote teahouse in the city, so they had no intention of disrupting the living order of the residents in the city. At this time, they sighed at the scene and expressed their appreciation for Lingluo Sect. .
Although they did not take action, the movement by the river had obviously attracted the attention of others. Several figures flew out from the other two restaurants and quickly landed on the river. With just one move of their hands, there were figures in the water. Five figures flew up and were picked up one by one by invisible force.
" Two of them rolled on the ground, vomited out a splash of water, and then immediately turned over and got up. They couldn't even stand firmly, but they both stared at each other again, as if they wanted to finish the unfinished contest.
?Looking at their momentum, they have not declined at all due to physical weakness. Each of them has an unyielding and strong aura.
The few people who came to save people were obviously monks with high level of cultivation. At this time, they looked at the children with a happy expression on their faces. One of them showed a slightly majestic air and shouted, "Hold on, my immortal master." Don¡¯t be rude in front of others.¡±
The five children all turned to look at the monks, but there was no fear on their faces. One of them even asked loudly, "Thank you so much, Master Immortal, for the rescue. I wonder if Master Immortal has any advice?"
"I passed by this place and happened to be having a fight with you. I rescued you. Don't worry about it. However, I just used my divine eyes to test your skeletal qualifications. You are quite talented and have a bit of immortality. If you are determined to follow the Tao, I will help you." Immortals can guide you on the way to immortality."
LingluoMortals under the rule of Zong Dui are tested and screened every two years to select suitable children to enter the sect for training and practice. Everyone who reaches the age of six can take the test.
This group of teenagers, who are already ** years old, obviously failed the first test and were selected from the remaining ordinary children. However, as long as they are under fifteen years old, they can continue to take the test. Everyone has about four to Five chances.
Cultivation requires more than just aptitude, but in childhood, other qualities are rarely shown. Some also need to be tempered, such as the mind and will, and some are not innate and can be continuously improved through daily experience. If you meet the sect's requirements, you can still be recognized and recruited into the sect.
Lingluo Sect¡¯s test selections are all open and fair. No matter how poor or rich you are, you can send your children to participate. Therefore, many families are proud of their children being selected as disciples of the Xian Family Sect. They regard it as a great event with unlimited future and honoring their ancestors.
Even if you lose the first time, you will not give up and keep working hard.
Compared with the selection of other sects, this is much better.
This is because ordinary sects are controlled by various forces when selecting. They will first recruit disciples with excellent qualifications, but if they are disciples from other spheres of influence, they will deliberately raise the threshold and brush off some disciples with incompetent qualifications. , but not an outstanding child.
As a result, when elders who are not powerful are responsible for selecting the person in charge, there will often be omissions.
Under the intrigues, development is naturally hindered, and it is far less open-minded than the Lingluo Sect.
Since the rise of Lingluo Sect, it has created a vast world in two hundred years. Every sect is jealous, so many forces come to explore. The enlightenment of these mortal cities and the excellent talents of children have become their jealous targets. , there are often elders secretly coming to select talents who have slipped through the net on the pretext of passing by.
Even if there are many who slip through the net, they are still more outstanding than some of the talents they carefully selected.
Some ordinary people under the rule did not understand the situation of the Immortal Sect and thought that these immortal masters were also masters of the Lingluo Sect above. Therefore, at first, some children followed them happily. Later, things went wrong in the Lingluo Sect. So he started education in the mortal city, saying that the immortal masters passing by were mostly deceptive and were not the elders of the sect. Taking the selection test was the only way to enter the sect.
However, if there are disciples below who are willing to practice in other sects, Lingluo Sect will not forcibly stop them and will comply with their wishes.
When asking for immortality, it is true that the word "fate" is also important. Sometimes it is difficult to explain the fate clearly. Maybe an inadvertent choice will create a great fate.
Lingluo Sect will not kill the immortality of those mortal children with average qualifications.
This is the point that Cheng Tianxiao originally proposed, and the people below did not disobey it, so other sects were not completely refused to enter the cities. As long as they did not arrest people by force, and did not deliberately destroy and cause trouble.
Under this background, the five children got together seriously with each other, discussed in detail, and did not express their opinions immediately.
Those monks were a little anxious. One of them came out and said with a smile, "Do you doubt our ability in magic? Come, let me show you how sharp the best magic is. As long as you are willing If you study, you will be able to have power like ours in the future, look.¡±
He cast a few spells, and under his control, the water in the river vividly changed into various shapes, condensed into blossoming ice flowers, flying around, and then turned into pieces of snowflakes, floating all over the sky, and so on. , seeing all the children being demented, the eagerness in their eyes was evident.
It seemed that they were a little distracted. Several monks were overjoyed and were about to work harder, but several middle-aged men quickly ran into the alley, interrupting their continued performance.
It turned out that the parents of the children came over after hearing the news. When they saw these imposing monks, they immediately became wary.
On the teahouse, the two old men had been paying attention to the changes. At this time, the long-bearded old man in the blue robe smiled and said, "Xuanhan, do you think these young men from the Qingyun Sect can convince them to recruit these young men?"
"Looking at the looks of those people, I'm afraid one of them will be shaken. Maybe we can recruit one, but the others are firm-minded and will not change their ambitions easily."
"But that face is as big as a long nose?"
"Exactly, his father's appearance is not good, and he will have no intention of enduring it any longer, waiting for that vain hope."
It turns out that there are some people in the city who are not very qualified. They participated in the test many times but were unable to be selected. The final age limit has passed and there is no hope of becoming an immortal. They can only be ordinary warriors, and they feel unwilling to do so.
So if it is a pediatric qualificationIf it is the best, and other sect elders come to recruit him, they will not be able to help but agree, so as not to waste their years and eventually have no chance to seek immortality.
The current situation is like this. The child with a long face and a big nose has average qualifications. It is estimated that no matter how hard he works, he will not be able to meet the standards of Lingluo Sect. His father has been thinking about it for a long time. At this time, there is an opportunity to join another sect. Distracted.
I saw him pulling him aside, having a discussion, and seemed to be willing to agree. However, the child was a little stubborn and unwilling. His father was anxious and kept persuading him to seize this only opportunity, otherwise he would be determined in the future. If you have to wallow in the world all your life, there will be no hope of becoming an immortal.
But the child was determined and just shook his head.
The father was extremely angry and scolded him several times. He forcibly lifted the child and put it into the hands of the monk. He said, "The child is afraid of leaving home and is causing trouble. Please don't take offense. Just train him well and spank him when it's time." There is no need to be polite, I just hope that he will be successful in his practice in the future and not bring disgrace to the family."
The monk's face was filled with joy, but he still expressed his righteousness and awe-inspiring, "When seeking fate from an immortal, don't force it. If a child has no intention of doing so, you should respect his wishes, lest people say that our Qingyun Sect is a lowly sect that kidnaps children to become its disciples. My little child, are you willing to learn the supreme magic and pursue the path to immortality?"
His words were somewhat misleading. What child wouldn't want to learn that powerful magic? It's just that you have to pay attention to who you study with and which school you enter.
Although this child has a firm mind, he has no experience in dealing with things after all. When he heard the immortal master's question, he nodded involuntarily, as if to express his willingness.
"In this case, I will form a relationship with you and take you back to the sect."
He looked at the other middle-aged people, who all looked cautious and alert, showing no signs of movement. Knowing that it was hard to confuse him, he took the child and flew away in a hurry. There were also monks stationed in the usually pink city. If they arrived in time, I'm afraid There would be some entanglement, and most of them would give up on accepting disciples, so they didn't dare to stay any longer.
He is just a child in the city with average qualifications and far from meeting the recruitment standards of Lingluo Sect. Qingyun Sect treats him as a treasure, which shows that the quality of the mortal disciples under their command is average.
"As expected"
On the teahouse, the two old men withdrew their gaze and stopped paying attention.
Not a moment later, several beautiful figures flew over, like fairies arriving. The children and adults by the river immediately saluted and said hello with great respect. These were just the disciples of the Lingluo Sect stationed in the city, and they only had the cultivation level of the spiritual body. , hearing the movement, he flew over with his sword and inquired about the relationship. One of them frowned slightly and said softly, "This time it is the Qingyun Sect who has taken away another person. This month, it is already the thirty-seventh person. "
Another female disciple smiled and said, "This is all their destiny. I only hope that those sects can teach them well and not delay their future."
"Okay, it seems like nothing happened. Just put it on record. Elder Tao has not been on Peach Blossom Mountain recently. We should pay attention to those sects that kidnapped children and don't be careless."
"Hehe, I heard that Elder Tao has returned to the main peak to meet Ancestor Cheng. I really want to take a look. Unfortunately, our status is low and we are not qualified to return to the main peak to participate in the celebration."
"Isn't there a celebration here? Besides, there will be a big light screen live broadcast in the square today. It will be the same as the scene. It doesn't matter whether you go or not."
"That's the same? The live broadcast is just a video, which is far from the live broadcast."
Several female disciples discussed and flew away, and this little episode by the river ended here.
In fact, such things often happen in various mortal city strongholds on Lingluo Planet. However, because each sect recruits only the leftover people from Lingluo Sect, it does not cause conflicts unless there is rape and robbery. circumstances arise, otherwise there will generally be no prosecution.
However, every recruited disciple will be recorded in detail for future inquiry.
Every year, tens of thousands of ordinary children are recruited away by various sects.
"Okay, the celebration is about to begin. Let's go and have a look." The two old men in the teahouse, Xuan Ming and Xuan Han, looked straight through the void. The Xueluo Valley, which was hundreds of thousands of miles away, seemed to be right in front of them. Generally, it appears in front of their eyes.
Such great magical powers, continuously, also consume a lot of mana. They have not intended to pay attention to this way, so they are ready to move, close to Xueluogu, and watch at close range.
I saw their figures flicker and then disappear from the seats, as if they had never existed, leaving only two cups filled with the fragrance of tea.
After they left for a moment, three more figures slowly came up from the corridor. Their eyes fell on the table by the window. One of them twitched his nose, and then smiled, "Sure enough, they are the two old ghosts Xuan Han and Xuan Ming. I didn't expect it." , so under Emperor TaixuanzongWith great efforts, if we really want to protect this boy named Cheng, even the 18 elders of the sect will be mobilized. It seems that it is really difficult to get any benefits from this operation. "
"Haha, all the Eighteen Mysteries are in the Immortal Realm. Their cultivation is unpredictable. They haven't left the mountain for many years. During the last trip to the Remnant Realm, they didn't have a chance to show off. It seems that our plan needs to be further improved. Adjustment."
"It's a pity that we couldn't contact the True Lord Lianyang, otherwise this operation could have been more perfect."
"This time, we are still aiming to test. You don't have to worry too much about success. As long as you test Cheng Tianxiao's current strength, it will be considered a success. If you really want to touch him, I'm afraid those old guys from Taixuan Sect will They will really come out to fight for us."
These three monks were also old men with white beards and hair. Their discussions were noisy, but they did not attract any attention from the tea guests next to them. It can be seen that they had already used their power to block it. What everyone saw was, I'm afraid it's just three ordinary tea drinkers talking about everyday nonsense.
"Should we go to Snowfall Valley to make preparations?"
"No need, those old guys know our whereabouts. They can see the situation there as well from here. It's never too late to rush if something happens."
They are all great immortal masters, and it only takes a moment for them to break through the air.
At this time, there was a light screen above the teahouse, showing some images, which were the live broadcasts of the celebration on the main peak square of Lingluo Sect in Xueluo Valley.
The mortals below actually have the opportunity to watch the scene of the Immortal. This shows that this place is really extremely enlightened, and everyone has the opportunity to be influenced by the deeds of the Immortal.
This city is like this, and those cities of monks have light curtains broadcasting pictures everywhere. In Luotian City, every restaurant, teahouse, square, street, and every quiet room has light curtains broadcasting the celebration process live.
Although the news of Cheng Tianxiao's return has been released, not many people have actually seen him in person. At this time, all the monks were eagerly watching the live broadcast, waiting for the moment when the legendary figure appeared.
