Bu Xiaotian was already flushed with embarrassment and was too embarrassed to speak again.
But after listening to the words of several senior brothers, I couldn't help but think of that girl who looked like a fairy under the moon, and I was in a daze.
"Okay, seeing that Junior Brother's face is red, you should stop teasing him."
Cheng Yunliang couldn't help but smile when he saw that Bu Xiaotian's face was almost red to the root of his neck, and then he stopped a few people from deliberately teasing Bu Xiaotian.
"Second Senior Brother, aren't you going to participate in this competition?"
When Bu Xiaotian saw Cheng Yunliang rescuing him, he thought about what he had just said, "Perform well." He seemed to mean that he would not participate in the competition, so he asked doubtfully.
"You don't know something, little junior brother. The second senior brother was one of the eight champions in the last competition, and he even won the fifth place in the competition.
According to the rules of the competition, the champion cannot participate in the next competition.
Although this test lasts for a period of time, as long as we as cultivators achieve something, we can live for hundreds of years. Moreover, only eight champions can participate in the next ranking competition at a time.
Each of these eight champions is the best among the disciples in the sect. If the previous champions participate in every competition, how can the new disciples get the chance to stand out if they are not ancient wizards who appear once in a thousand years? "
Seeing that Bu Xiaotian had doubts, Li Yunjian explained.
"I see, I didn't expect that the second senior brother was actually one of the last champions!"
After Bu Xiaotian listened to Li Yunjian's words, his face showed surprise and he looked at Cheng Yunliang with some admiration.
"Haha, junior brother, you don't have to be like this. Your talent is astonishing. Your cultivation level now is no less than when I participated in the competition. You will definitely achieve good results in this competition!"
Seeing Bu Xiaotian's admiration for him, Cheng Yunliang smiled slightly and encouraged him.
"Second Senior Brother, I just want to meet the talented disciples from other peaks in the sect this time. I don't want to fight over anything."
After hearing Cheng Yunliang's encouragement, Bu Xiaotian shook his head and said that he did not want to participate in the competition.
"Oh? Why is this? Don't you want to show off your skills in the competition? After listening to Bu Xiaotian's words, Cheng Yunliang's eyes flashed with surprise and he asked with a smile.
“I think what we practice is to achieve immortality and attain the Tao, and the general principle at the beginning of the Dao Xuan Jing is to teach us to cultivate our moral character and realize the way of heaven.
I think we as Taoists should be quiet and inactive, and lose the desire to compete for power, fame and fortune. "
Bu Xiaotian pondered for a moment before answering.
When Cheng Yunliang heard Bu Xiaotian's answer, his eyes were full of approval, he smiled and praised Bu Xiaotian and said:
"I didn't expect that, little junior brother, you would have such an understanding after practicing for only more than ten years. It seems that your understanding is really extraordinary. No wonder you have made such progress!"
Several other people seemed to have some understanding after hearing Bu Xiaotian's words. They looked at Bu Xiaotian thoughtfully, with approval and surprise in their eyes.
"But you have misunderstood one thing. It is indeed as you said, we practitioners should cultivate our moral character and be quiet and inactive.
But this Jiazi test is a grand ceremony passed down by our Yuxu sect for thousands of years, and its original intention is not to arouse the competitive spirit of the disciples in the sect.
When the Patriarch set the Jiazi test, he had other deep intentions. One was that he was afraid that young disciples would be too undisciplined and slack off in their practice.
After all, as a righteous sect, we should take it as our duty to eliminate demons and protect the Tao. If everyone is free from the world, wouldn't it mean that evil demons and heretics are allowed to run rampant in the world?
Furthermore, most of the disciples of each peak in our sect practice on the mountain or go down the mountain for training. There are few opportunities to contact and communicate with each other. In order to prevent the emotional alienation of the disciples of each peak over time and lead to the division of the sect, I take this opportunity to let everyone in Communicate more together to enhance feelings. "
Cheng Yunliang paused, and then explained to Bu Xiaotian and others.
Bu Xiaotian suddenly understood, bowed slightly to Cheng Yunliang, and said thanks:
"It turns out that's the case, but I had some misunderstandings. Thank you, Second Senior Brother, for your guidance."
"Haha, it's nothing. I have already said that you and I should not be so polite to each other."
Cheng Yunliang smiled softly when he saw that Bu Xiaotian understood everything.
"Haha, I'm going to cook, so I'll leave first. You two can chat slowly."
Si Yunrang looked at the sky, said goodbye to the few people who were talking happily, and then turned and left the small courtyard.
Yun Ying had long been impatient to listen to the boring words they said.
He ran to the side and peeled off the snow from Cai'er who was still buried in the snow. They chased each person and the bird out of the yard, where they went crazy for fun.
After Si Yun let him go, the four senior brothers chatted some other gossip in the yard. Seeing that the meal was approaching, they walked slowly towards the dining hall while talking.
After several people had breakfast, Cheng Yunliang told Bu Xiaotian and Yun Ying that disciples from Wuji Peak would come to inform them about the competition today, and took several junior brothers and Yun Ying to the main hall of "Zhenlei Hall".
When they arrived at the "Zhenlei Palace" and were about to enter, a faint white light appeared in the sky, and fell on the open space in front of the hall in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, a clear voice came:
"Li Yun, the eldest disciple of Master Xuanyun, the leader of Wuji Peak, has returned to ask to see Uncle Xiao Tianxiong, the master of Purple Thunder Peak!"
After hearing this, several people looked back and saw a young man in white clothes standing behind them.
This person is tall and tall, with a handsome face, and always has a faint smile on his face. He is wearing a spotless white robe, exuding a calm and calm temperament, which makes people feel very comfortable.
When Cheng Yunliang saw this man, his eyes lit up with admiration. He cupped his hands towards the man and said:
"It turns out to be senior brother Li Yungui. I didn't expect that the master's uncle would be willing to send you, the first genius of Wuji Peak, to inform you about the competition. Isn't this too unfair, senior brother?"
"Haha, Master has an order, and disciples must abide by it. Besides, we are all cultivators. We have no self and nothing, so why should we talk about grievances?"
Li Yungui smiled faintly, his face not showing the slightest arrogance due to Cheng Yunliang's words, and his tone was very approachable, which made people even more fond of him.
"Senior brother, it's true that my realm is profound, but it's me, junior brother, who's obsessed with me."
Cheng Yunliang also smiled after hearing Li Yungui's words and complimented him again.
"Haha, Junior Brother Cheng is being humble. In terms of cultivation, you and I are pretty much the same. It's just that we all have different temperaments.
In the last competition, I only saw Junior Brother Xiang, Junior Brother Cheng, Junior Brother Chu, Junior Brother Li and Junior Brother Si. Presumably these two are Junior Brother Bu Xiaotian who was a new disciple of Uncle Xiao more than ten years ago and Junior Brother Gu a few years ago. Junior Sister Yunying is the disciple that Master Uncle accepted, right?
I have met two junior brothers and sisters! "
Li Yungui smiled and said modestly again, turned his eyes, looked at the people beside Cheng Yunliang and said.
"Senior brother is right. Come on, let me introduce you to me. This is Senior Brother Li Yungui, the head of Wuji Peak. Senior Brother Li Guiyun is the number one genius at Wuji Peak, and he won the top spot in the last competition!
According to the rules in the sect, you should also be called senior brother. "
Cheng Yunliang then remembered Bu Xiaotian and Yun Ying beside him, and quickly introduced Li Yungui to them.
"I've met senior brother!"
When Bu Xiaotian and Yun Ying heard that the Li Yungui in front of them was actually the senior brother of Wuji Peak and the person who won the first place in the last competition, they both showed admiration on their faces and saluted quickly.
Several other people also saluted Li Yungui at the same time.
"We all belong to the same sect. Junior brothers and sisters, you don't have to be so polite!"
Li Yungui also saluted everyone and said in a gentle tone.
"Well, Junior Brother Chu, Junior Brother Li, and Junior Brother Si must have improved a lot in their Taoism over the years. I believe this competition will definitely shine!
Junior Brother Bu and Junior Sister Yun Ying also seem to have good qualifications, and their cultivation levels must also be high. Purple Thunder Peak is really full of talents! "
Li Yungui followed Cheng Yunliang's introduction and looked at several people one by one. After Cheng Yunliang finished the introduction, he said in surprise.
"Senior brother, you are so complimentary. The qualifications of my junior brothers are naturally not as good as yours, senior brother. They can only support the appearance."
Although Li Yungui was full of praise, Cheng Yunliang did not show any pride and still maintained a humble tone.
Li Yun returned and was about to say something, when a low but powerful voice came from the hall:
"Now that you're here, stop standing outside and come in!"
It was Xiao Tianxiong's voice.
Hearing Xiao Tianxiong's words, several people outside the door were shocked and walked into the hall one by one with respectful expressions on their faces.
Entering the main hall, I saw Xiao Tianxiong sitting high on the main seat, with his huge wine gourd that he never left behind, looking at the people who came in one after another indifferently, with no other expression on his face.
"Disciple Li Yun returned and met Master Xiao!"
After entering the main hall, Li Yungui bowed respectfully to Xiao Tianxiong who was sitting high on the throne.
Several others stood on the left and right sides of the main hall, bowing to Xiao Tianxiong with the same respect.
Xiao Tianxiong nodded slightly and said:
"Well, we're all here, stop standing, sit down."
"Yes, thank you Master (Uncle Master)!"
Everyone in the hall naturally wanted to listen to Xiao Tianxiong's words, and they all bowed to Xiao Tianxiong and thanked him, and then everyone took their seats.
"It seems that nephew Yun Gui's cultivation has improved a lot over the years. I see that your aura is vaguely consistent with the surrounding heaven and earth. You should be close to the state of 'Shenxu', right?"
Senior Brother Xuanyun has taken on an incredible disciple! "
Xiao Tianxiong looked at Li Yungui with a hint of approval.
Li Yungui was shocked when he heard Xiao Tianxiong's words revealing his level of cultivation.
I had just touched the threshold of the realm of "Shenxu". I didn't expect that although Uncle Xiao usually looked ordinary, he could see through it at a glance. His profound cultivation was really surprising.
At that moment, I admired Xiao Tianxiong even more in my heart, and immediately raised my hands to Xiao Tianxiong and respectfully replied:
"Uncle Master is so complimentary. Yun Gui was lucky enough to encounter some opportunities a few days ago, and he barely touched the threshold. I really don't deserve Uncle Master's praise!"
"Okay, stop being so modest. Although these disciples of mine have good qualifications, they are still a little behind compared to you!
The boss has been in seclusion since the last competition. Although the remaining qualifications are good, they are not as good as yours. "
Seeing that Li Yungui was neither arrogant nor impatient, Xiao Tianxiong nodded secretly in his heart, but he praised Li Yungui.
"Uncle Master, it's true that the evil spirit has returned. I just practiced for a little longer.
I think the qualifications of these juniors are all excellent, even among my entire Yuxu Sect disciples, they are at the forefront. As long as they spend more time cultivating, they will definitely be above me. "
Li Yun returned and saw that Xiao Tianxiong seemed a little disappointed with the cultivation of several disciples, so he quickly spoke.
"Haha, Yun Gui, you are neither arrogant nor impatient. Such a character is really rare.
Okay, let’s get down to business. You must be here to inform us about the competition.
I wonder if the rules of this competition are any different from those in the past? "
Xiao Tianxiong smiled lightly, praised again, and then asked about the competition.
