Yuan Xudian
This is a magnificent hall, with glazed tiles and gold bricks on the floor. It looks like a majestic giant, standing proudly in the center of the square.
The name of the palace comes from the first dean of Yunxiao College, Mr. Yuan Xu. It is said that three thousand years ago, the Yunxiao Sect initially unified the land of Kyushu. At that time, the old man Yuan Xu felt deeply that monks were mostly selfish and cruel people, fighting among themselves and causing harm to the world, so he founded a college, determined to let all monks, regardless of education, practice Taoism and do good, and benefit the world.
Thousands of years have passed, and ancestor Yuan Xu has passed away. The academy he established has now become the first stop for entry-level disciples of the Yunxiao Sect. Every disciple must study and practice here until they have achieved success and meet the requirements of the sect before they can continue to be promoted and practice more profound Taoism.
At this moment, Yuan Xu Palace was crowded with people. The four hundred schoolchildren who had just entered the sect all opened their eyes and looked carefully at something slowly rotating in the air.
This is a magic weapon similar to a sand table. It has undulating mountains, lakes, waterfalls, lava, spiritual fields, forests, houses, etc. It seems to be a shrunken world.
On each mountain peak, there are dozens or hundreds of red, green and yellow light spots flashing.
A disciple in white clothes was standing on the platform, holding a hard whip, pointing at the magic weapon, and said loudly:
"This is the landscape of rivers and mountains. It is the master of my Yunxiao Sect's Artifact Refining Hall. He intercepted the landscape of a certain section of the mountains and rivers and made a sand table similar to the mortal world..."
"Every light spot here is a cave." He used a steel whip to hit a flashing green dot in the picture, and a three-dimensional image immediately appeared above the hall.
Through this image, you can clearly see a courtyard, with a pavilion and a stone table in the front, and a lush forest on the opposite side, where you can even see wild animals running and playing.
"Each student," he continued, "can choose one of these green light spots as his own cave. Of these two colors, the red one is inhabited, and the yellow one is in the maintenance stage or for other reasons. , cannot be selected."
Seeing the excited expressions of the junior brothers and sisters below, he smiled kindly and continued to introduce:
"In order to allow everyone to practice better, the sect has set up a five-element array among these peaks. Each peak has different five-element attributes, which can be suitable for people with different spiritual roots..."
He used his hard whip to draw a circle in the distance, wrapping several peaks in it: "These seven are of earth attribute, and are recorded as Tujia Peak, Tuyi Peak and even Tugeng Peak..."
"These six," he drew a circle again: "are of the water attribute, namely Shuijia Peak, and even Shuiji Peak..."
Then, he pointed out five wood attributes, four fire attributes, and three metal attributes one by one.
There are clear boundaries between these five peaks with different attributes.
"Okay," the disciple put away his hard whip: "First give everyone a quarter of an hour to find the cave of your choice. Then, according to the ranking of the selection, everyone will come to choose. Each person only has ten breaths. After making the selection, No changes are allowed!"
"Students with lower rankings, you can choose a few more caves as alternatives to prevent the one you like the most from being chosen by the classmates in front of you!" He finally suggested.
…
Zhao Yuer'er looked excited and leaned her head over:
"Brother Shitou, let's choose to be together!"
"Okay!" Yang Zhen agreed happily.
"But," he asked in a low voice, "don't you go back to Tianshui Peak and go to Patriarch Shuihong's place?"
"I can keep a place to live here!" the little girl explained: "I have to complete most of the courses here at the college. I go to Grandma's house for a few days every once in a while."
I see. Yang Zhen was also very happy after hearing this.
The two began to discuss the location of the cave in whispers.
First, exclude the twelve peaks of earth, fire, and metal. Then Yang Zhen said that water can produce wood, so she chose among the six with water attributes.
If he needs to practice in a wood environment, he can choose to do it in space. This difference in spiritual energy concentration in the outside world should not have much impact on his practice.
Zhao Yueer was convinced that there was nothing wrong with it, and the two of them happily continued to watch.
It feels like a young couple buying a new house in later generations. The difference is that there is no beautiful sales lady nearby.
The two finally chose a suitable place on Shuixu Peak.
There happen to be two neighboring caves here, codenamed Shuixu Wuyi and Wuer, both of which are green, and they are only a hundred feet apart.
The cave is located on the mountainside, with no cover in front and an excellent view. You can see the Cui Wei mountains in the distance.
There is a small lake on the gentle slope in front of the mountain, about an acre in size. There are willows and luxuriant green grass on the shore of the lake.
A small spring gurgled out from the small lake, and after winding up the mountain road for several miles, it merged into a large stream.
A few hundred steps along the stream, there is a waterfall, flying down the cliff, throwing thousands of pearls, like a jade dragon flying.
Yang Zhen fell in love with this place at first sight. Regardless of the richness of the spiritual energy, the mountains and waters alone were enough to make people feel relaxed and happy.
The two ranked first and second. Having chosen this place, there was no need to consider other alternatives.
It was Dai Miaoying who came looking for her.
"Sister Yue'er, wherever you choose, I want to be your neighbor!"
This girl has the spiritual roots of earth and water, and can choose the same cultivation environment as Zhao Yuer.
The little girl openly informed her and Yang Zhen of their choices.
There were three or four green spots within a two-mile radius of their cave, and Dai Miaoying immediately considered them all as alternatives.
…
A quarter of an hour later, when the time was up, everyone took out their tokens in order and reported the serial number of the chosen cave.
Yang Zhen's token was quickly entered with a message, and then she followed the instructions of the disciple in white and went to another place to continue processing.
Here he received his new token.
The previous token recorded the identity of the monk, and the new token was the identity of the sect disciple.
The token is turquoise in color, the size of a palm, looks like a piece of bamboo, and feels as smooth as nephrite.
This token not only records his name, age, disciple status, but also the one hundred sect contribution points that he just received in the morning.
Or get the certificate to open your own cave.
More importantly, there are two spells sealed in the token, one is an alarm, similar to the whistle of the county watch. After being activated, a sharp whistle will be emitted to guide the location. All sect deacons within a hundred miles will receive an alert.
There is also a defensive shield, which can last for about a quarter of an hour under the full attack of the Qi Practitioner.
Add a drop of essence and blood and enter the seal, and the token becomes your own.
Later, he and Zhao Yue'er went to a third place and received several sets of blue disciple robes.
After doing this, they were led to two young monks.
ps: These chapters are relatively bland, but I quite like them. I feel like I’m involved in them. I’m so jealous! (dog head)
