Master of Science and Technology
Chapter 17
The outer gate of yuqingzong is built on Chaoyang peak, one of the five peaks. From the top to the bottom of the mountain, houses and courtyards are built according to the mountain, and a wide stone step road runs up and down.
At the foot of the mountain, there is a compound with hundreds of houses, which is where the external disciples live. Outside the courtyard, on the broad ground paved with bluestone, people in all kinds of clothes are coming one after another, including those in rags, those in brocade clothes, those alone and those surrounded by slave servants. These people are the secular people who came from outside Yuqing sect. As long as they pass the entry test, they will have the opportunity to become external disciples.
No matter how frustrated the Yuqing sect is, it is also the sect of cultivating immortals. Those who want to enter the sect may not want to become immortals. As long as they learn some skills, it is enough for them to gain wealth in the secular world. Not to mention anything else, even if it''s just a mere Qi refining realm, it can be regarded as a master in the secular world. Secular wealth is readily available.
But today''s highlight is not at the foot of the mountain, but on the top of Chaoyang peak. This Chaoyang peak is not so towering. In particular, the peak seems to have been cut flat into a huge flat top. Today, Dabi outside is on this flat top.
Ye Zan followed the great elder to Yuquan peak to meet Wu Changsheng, the leader of the sect, and the two golden elixir masters Jin Dasheng and Luo jinniang. Several people saluted each other, sat down and chatted, and went to Chaoyang peak with their swords. Of course, what ye Zan was stepping on was actually a flying skateboard made of a wide sword.
On the flat top of Chaoyang peak, ten Bidou platforms have been erected outside Chaoyang palace, and hundreds of external disciples waited here early. There are more than a hundred disciples of the outer gate. These are all the disciples of today''s Yuqing sect. In the heyday of that year, yuqingzong held a big outside competition for more than a month, but now it''s finished in about a day.
It''s a grand event. To be honest, it really doesn''t deserve the word "grand event".
After ye Zan and others came to the flat top, the head teacher Wu Changsheng showed his face on the stage and said a few words of encouragement. Then Jin Dasheng announced that the outside competition began. After finishing these, several people went directly into Chaoyang palace. They didn''t bother to see it at all. They just waited for the result of the final big competition.
However, when several people entered the Chaoyang palace and just sat down, ye zanzheng planned to go out alone to watch the excitement, and a disciple ran in and reported something.
"Tell the leader that master Luo Miao of Jinguang sect came to watch the ceremony with his disciples. He is waiting at the foot of the mountain now." the disciple said after seeing the ceremony.
Then another disciple came in from the outside, saluted Wu Changsheng and others, and said, "I''d like to inform the leader of the sect. Master Wang Lianshan of wuzhu sect came to watch the ceremony with his disciples. Now he''s at the foot of the mountain."
If someone comes to watch the ceremony, it is a good thing. It shows that everyone has a good relationship and that others give themselves face. However, hearing the reports from the two disciples, Wu Changsheng and others suddenly became a little ugly.
"Younger martial sister Luo, please go and meet me." Wu Changsheng''s tone was a little gloomy, but at the same time, he was somewhat helpless. It seemed that he didn''t welcome the two groups of people who came to watch the ceremony.
"Yes." Luo jinniang was the same. Her face was not good. Although she answered simply, she was stiff. After a word, she got up and went out.
Luo jinniang went out to meet the visitors. For a moment, the atmosphere in the palace was a little different. It was not as natural as before.
Ye Zan looked very strange nearby. He couldn''t help stabbing the great elder sitting next to him and asked, "Lao Mo, what''s the matter? Why aren''t you happy when someone comes to support?"
"Hum," the great elder snorted coldly and said, "what support? Those who come are not good. Those who are good don''t come. They come to smash the field."
"Jinguang sect and wuzhu sect were originally the branches of our Yuqing sect. Thousands of years ago, the two sects were independent, and they have been tit for tat with our sect everywhere since. They came here to watch the ceremony. In fact, they just want to see what rising stars we have that deserve their attention and solicitation, and even..." Wu Changsheng said slowly. He could not hear much anger, but more helpless.
After listening to Wu Changsheng''s explanation, ye Zan understood. No wonder they would look like this. Those two factions said they came to watch the ceremony, but they actually saw who was worth digging. If they couldn''t find it, they tried to kill it. For example, Qi Qianjun''s experience is an example. Don''t underestimate those outside disciples. They are the foundation of one sect. The practice of the two sects is like digging the root of Yuqing sect.
But in the face of such a situation, what can yuqingzong say and do?
Not to mention behind the Jinguang sect and wuzhu sect, no one knows which big sect is standing. In fact, the current strength of yuqingzong can''t hold down these two factions. The golden light sect and wuzhu sect also have Yuanying''s ancestor in charge, which has no deterrent to others.
Moreover, no matter what means the two factions play behind, they don''t let people pick reason on the surface. People in the right way have always been the best at doing this kind of thing. If yuqingzong directly refuses to come here to watch the ceremony, it will first appear inhumane and not give face, and second, there is no silver 300 Liang here. Therefore, no matter how unhappy you are, you have to send someone to meet them. No matter how angry you are, you also have a smile on your face.
In fact, in the final analysis, this is the sadness of the weak. If you have enough strength, you can''t give anyone face. If you don''t have strength, you can only be a man with your tail.
After a while, Luo jinniang came in with two groups of people. It''s still that sentence. It''s obviously unreasonable. After Luo Miao and Wang Lianshan came in, they greeted Wu Changsheng and others with a smile. They can''t see that there are so many dirty things in private. On the side of yuqingzong, naturally, he could not fall into the hands of others, and responded with the same hypocritical smile.
"Martial uncle Mo, I don''t know who this Taoist friend is?" after greeting, Luo Miao''s eyes fell on Ye Zan. When he saw a young man sitting next to Mo Rushi, he immediately felt very curious, especially when he found that the young man was just a cultivation in the realm of refining Qi.
Since it''s only the cultivation in the realm of refining Qi, it certainly won''t be the guest Qing emperor solicited from outside. But if it is mo Rushi''s disciple or nephew, it should not be sitting beside him, but standing behind him.
"Yes, martial uncle Mo, this Taoist friend is very smart. I wonder if you could introduce him?" Wang Lianshan also asked after him, obviously curious about ye Zan''s identity.
Jinguang sect and wuzhu sect were once the branches of Yuqing sect. Although they are independent, they still trace back to the same ancestor. The generation cannot be disordered. People in the right way pay most attention to this. No matter how they feel, Luo Miao and Wang Lianshan still have to call Mo Ru a martial uncle.
"Ha ha," Mo Ru smiled hypocritically twice, then pointed to Ye Zan around him and said, "his surname is Ye Zan. He is the disciple I recently accepted on behalf of the teacher and my younger martial brother. You should also call him martial uncle."
As soon as Mo Rushi said his words, Luo Miao and Wang Lianshan were stunned. They seemed to doubt whether their ears were wrong. If Mo Ru is an apprentice, they can barely believe it. After all, there was Qi Qianjun more than 20 years ago. It''s not surprising to have another apprentice now. However, it is often because of master''s death order to accept disciples on behalf of the master, but Mo Rushi''s master has been dead for hundreds of years. How can he accept disciples on behalf of the master now.
Can we say that it''s just to embarrass us, so master Dai accepted a person from the Qi refining realm and asked us to call him martial uncle? Luo Miao and Wang Lianshan thought it was possible. After all, yuqingzong could only take advantage of it verbally.
