"oh oh."
The fat deacon came to his senses, apologized quickly, and turned the jade book to the latest page:
"let me see……"
"Well, Zhou Qing, a native of Liang County, Yunzhou, Zhao State, was born in the 860th year of Tongyang..."
After muttering a few words, he looked through Zhou Qing's archives carefully, and finally said:
"These files and books were all submitted by you yourself when you entered the school, junior brother. There should be no problem, right?"
When he said this, he lowered his voice slightly and said:
"Junior brother was a mortal after all, so his memory will inevitably have errors and omissions. This is normal."
"Junior brother has now cultivated to the Qi Palace realm, with clear sea of consciousness and flawless soul. If you remember any mistakes, you should report them as soon as possible, and the sect will investigate again."
When Zhou Qing heard this, he immediately understood. He knew that the other party was trying to sell himself well and was a subtle reminder to him.
The Chunyang Immortal Sect adopts a training method of washing in the sand, and the inner disciples are like purified pearls and jade shells, not comparable to "sand".
The status of inner disciples is already very high.
This is not only reflected in the treatment of inner disciples, but also in the importance that the sect attaches to inner disciples.
The Chunyang Immortal Sect opened its gates widely and accepted disciples regardless of their origins. When joining the sect, it was all voluntary to disclose their financial background. Many people concealed it to some extent, and the upper echelons of the Chunyang Immortal Sect didn't care at all.
But the inner disciples are different. The financial background of these people is also included in the assessment.
If it was an ordinary thing in the secular period, there would be no problem. After all, it is not as strict as the assessment of true disciples, where even eighteen generations of ancestors have to be checked.
But if monks, or other sects or aristocratic families are involved, they must be reported. Deliberate concealment and failure to report will be severely punished. In serious cases, they may even be deprived of their status, have their cultivation levels abolished, and be directly expelled from the sect. Door.
However, before being promoted to the inner sect and transferring the files and books, it is the only opportunity for "confession and leniency", and the upper level of the sect will not pursue too much.
"Thank you, senior brother, for reminding me."
Zhou Qing looked as usual and said:
"But there should be no errors or omissions in my memory."
Who knows, did my predecessor hide anything when he joined the sect?
Even he only now knows that he is a member of Zhao State. He has no way of knowing what information his predecessor really wanted to hide, so he can only take a gamble.
However, Zhou Qing had already considered this point and thought that he was 80% sure that he could pass the test.
First of all, it makes no sense to have some basic information that is easy to verify, such as place of origin, parents’ clan, etc., so that no one would be stupid enough to conceal it and lie about it.
Secondly, Chunyang Immortal Sect's attitude in this area is actually very tolerant, and they will not really pursue the matter to the end if there is even a slight concealment.
In the final analysis, the world of Eastern Wilderness is vast and there are many monks. Especially in Liyang Kingdom, immortals and mortals live together, small sects and small aristocratic families are everywhere. The kingdoms are dotted with treasures such as the ruins of their predecessors and secret caves in the mountains.
Many disciples of the Chunyang Immortal Sect have received some opportunities and benefits from outside the sect before joining the sect or during their cultivation. Shouldn't they all be traced one by one? It would be too easy to commit taboos.
therefore:
Zhou Qing asked himself, unless his predecessor was really a spy or undercover sent by some demonic sect, he should be fine.
"Okay, since Junior Brother Zhou said so, then there is no problem."
The fat deacon's tone became more friendly, and he smiled and extended his hand:
"The next step is to examine the cultivation level and verify the identity."
"Junior Brother Zhou, please."
"good."
Zhou Qing responded and followed the fat deacon to the depths of Guangfa Hall.
When Chunyang Immortal Sect disciples entered the sect, a drop of blood was taken away and attached to their respective archives. The purpose of verifying their true identity was to trace their origins and prevent anyone from changing their appearance or hiding in disguise. corpse and other means instead of impersonation.
As for the inspection of cultivation level, it is purely a formality, and it only needs to show the cultivation level of Qifu realm.
"Congratulations, junior brother!"
After completing the procedure, the fat deacon had a smile on his face and said repeatedly:
"This is Junior Brother's dossier. Please keep it, Junior Brother."
He handed a jade plate to Zhou Qing, and solemnly took out a spiritual talisman that flashed red light:
"This is the talisman of the Heavenly Palace. If you hold this talisman, you can go to the Dharma Transmission Hall of the Chunyang Heavenly Palace."
"After junior brother transfers the archives to the Chuanfa Hall and lights the soul lamp, you only need to wait for a while, and you will naturally receive the decree from the Chuanfa Hall."
"Okay, thank you very much, senior brother!"
Zhou Qing bowed his hands and took the jade plate and the talisman.
After bidding farewell to the Fat Deacon, Zhou Qing drove the escape light to leave Guangfa Hall, flew all the way to high altitude, took out the Tiangong Talisman, and poured the magic power into it.
"boom!"
A ray of red rainbow light fell from the sky, swept Zhou Qing away, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Zhou Qing only felt a blur in front of his eyes. When he saw his surroundings clearly again, he suddenly came to the door of a simple palace, with a hint of confusion in the simple patterns.
"come in."
An old voice came from inside the palace.
Zhou Qing took a deep breath, adjusted his jade crown robes, and then walked into the hall with a calm expression.
"Buzz!"
The moment Zhou Qing stepped into the palace, an ancient bronze mirror hanging on the top instantly illuminated a bright light, covering Zhou Qing's whole body.
Zhou Qing's heart tightened, but he did not dare to make the slightest move, letting the light cover him.
This is a treasure in the Hall of Transmission. It is said to be able to illuminate the soul and restore the fundamentals. No matter how many magical magic methods hide the evil thoughts, poisons, and evil energy, or the technique of seizing the body and reincarnating, it will be reflected in this mirror. It's hard to hide even below.
This is the last and most important step for promotion to inner disciples. That’s why new inner disciples need to hand over their files and books to the Dharma Transmission Hall in person, just to walk under this mirror. , prove the fundamentals.
"It should be fine, just be sure nothing goes wrong..."
Although Zhou Qing had planned it in advance, when it came to this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart.
If the step of verifying the body is to check whether there is any abnormality in the body, then this most precious treasure of the Dharma Transfer Hall is to check whether there is anything wrong with the soul.
Although Zhou Qing came through time and was not the original owner of the body, he should not have any problems in this regard.
The reason is simple - he can open up the sea of consciousness and give birth to spiritual thoughts.
If it is a method of seizing one's body and reincarnating one's body, then it must be that a foreign soul enters the master's own sea of consciousness. There is always a trace of incongruity. This is a natural limitation.
As for a person whose soul has not yet transformed into a divine soul, if someone uses great magic power to forcibly perform the soul-moving technique, it will be impossible to open up the sea of consciousness because the soul and body are not in harmony. This is one of the iron laws of spiritual practice.
Although he still doesn't know whether his time travel is just a memory or something else, at least his soul and body are in perfect harmony, and there is no incongruity.
"Uh-huh!"
After waiting anxiously for two or three breaths, the light from the mirror above disappeared instantly.
Zhou Qing let out a sigh of relief.
Since there is no warning about the treasure of the Dharma Hall, it means that it is the same as his own judgment - there is nothing wrong with his soul.
After passing this final level, as long as nothing unexpected happens, he will soon be able to ascend to the position of inner disciple, and his status will be greatly improved.
"You seem nervous?"
The old voice suddenly came over again.
Zhou Qing's heart moved slightly. He raised his eyes and saw an old man in black robe sitting cross-legged behind the black table in the palace. He had an old face, a long beard under his chin, and an extraordinary bearing.
"Report to senior."
Zhou Qing bowed and said in a respectful tone:
"The junior was really a little nervous just now."
"It's just because during the battle of Luofu Daze, this junior had several encounters with the Qi Mansion Realm demon split soul of the Sacred Heart Sect, and I was afraid that he might be contaminated with some demonic poison or aura."
"I see."
The long-bearded old man nodded slightly, as if he believed what he said, and said casually:
"Those demons of the Sacred Heart Sect are indeed difficult to deal with. They are all disgusting people who play with people's hearts."
He said and waved casually:
"Bring me your dossier."
"yes."
Zhou Qing respectfully agreed, quickly came to the palace, and handed the jade plate to the old man with a long beard.
He had already scanned the entire contents of this volume with his spiritual thoughts, firmly remembered it in his heart, and had already made some plans.
"Um?"
The long-bearded old man glanced at him and suddenly showed a look of surprise. He couldn't help but look up at Zhou Qing:
"You...are Qingzhuyuan Zhou Qing?!"
"yes."
Zhou Qing showed a smile:
"I didn't expect that the seniors have also heard some bad names about the juniors."
"Young man, it's not good to be too modest. Being too modest is arrogance!"
The long-bearded old man shook his head and sighed again:
"The waves behind the river push the waves ahead!"
"Back then, I also asked myself that I was extremely talented, not inferior to others, and had to go through many obstacles all the way to reach the position of true successor."
"But compared with you, I pale in comparison and feel ashamed."
Hearing this, Zhou Qing quickly bowed and said:
"The seniors are so ridiculous, but the juniors can't bear it."
The long-bearded old man glanced at him and showed a meaningful smile:
"It seems that you are full of arrogance in your heart!"
"But this is also a good thing. How can a peerless genius not be arrogant? I was ten times more arrogant than you back then! Hahaha..."
After laughing a few times, he waved his hand impatiently:
"Okay, don't be an eyesore to me."
"You can go to the back hall and light the soul lamp yourself. I will accept this volume of sect documents and I will send someone to inspect it in the future."
"yes."
After Zhou Qing bowed respectfully again, he turned around and headed to the apse.
In the apse:
Zhou Qing stepped in and suddenly found an extremely vast palace in front of him.
The front hall is obviously not very big, but the back hall, which is connected to the front hall from front to back, cannot be seen at the ends of both sides at a glance, only clusters of deep mist can be seen.
There seemed to be countless sparks in the mist, but they still couldn't be seen clearly.
"This must be the Soul Lantern Palace..."
Zhou Qing raised his eyes and saw soul lamps lit on the pavilions. Orange flames were burning on the lamps, and not a trace of lamp oil was visible.
This is the soul lamp. Every inner sect and true disciple in a large sect will light a soul lamp and die here.
If the soul lamp is dim, you will encounter disaster; if the soul lamp is extinguished, the body will die and the path will disappear.
In a sense, the disciples who lit their own soul lamp in the sect's important place are the disciples who are truly included in the sect's walls and valued by the upper echelons of the sect.
"We have worked hard for nearly a year and finally we have reached this point."
