Chapter 79 Outer Gate

After bowing three times and nine kowtows to the jade statue of Song Yan, the founder of the sect, the ordinary middle-aged monk wearing a seven-star robe shouted loudly: "All new disciples of the outer sect, please pay homage to the master Zhang Zhenren."

The real person here does not mean Yuan Shen, but a convention formed in the world of cultivation over the years. Leaders of major sects are called Zhenren, regardless of whether they have reached Yuan Shen or not.

However, the leader, Zhang Zhengyan and Zhenren Zhang, are among the few Yin Shen Lords in the world of cultivation. According to the jade slip in the "History of the Cultivation World", most of the Yin Shen Lords retreat to attack the soul, and three of them are still active in front of the world. Among the Yinshen Lords are the current leader of the Penglai Sect, the current leader of the Yingzhou Sect, and the current leader of the Nether Sect.

After paying homage, the leader with his long eyebrows lowered said to the dozens of outer sect disciples kneeling below: "You are considered to have joined our Penglai sect. Later, Yongxiang, the head of the Zhanglu Hall, will give you a lecture on the sect." Discipline. The old Taoist said here that if a monk in the out-of-body stage cannot break through the entrainment stage and enter the inner door, he will leave to enjoy the luxury of the world at the latest when his body begins to decline. But in fact, many outer sect disciples become disheartened and leave the sect when they are sixty or seventy years old. The old Taoist said so much to tell you, don’t think that you can make a breakthrough naturally after entering the sect. It depends more on your own hard work. "

Shi Xuan could not have imagined that the initiation ceremony for outer disciples would be so simple. It would be over after worshiping the ancestor and the master. Next, a tall and powerful young monk stood up and lectured on the sect's precepts. This was the famous non-returning sword.

There are many rules in the sect, but generally speaking, they are not allowed to teach skills privately, not deceive their masters and destroy their ancestors, and not harm their fellow sect members.

After Yongxiang finished speaking about the sect's precepts, the ordinary middle-aged monk wearing a seven-star Taoist robe stood up again and said calmly: "Pindao is the head of the sect's general affairs hall, and his name is Lingxing. Although you will be the main general affairs minister in the future. It is under the jurisdiction of the general affairs elders of the outer sect, but if you have any disputes, you can come to Pindao to appeal. The general affairs hall is on the mountainside of Tianshu Peak. "

All the outer disciples saluted in unison. Unexpectedly, this ordinary middle-aged monk is Lingxing Taoist, one of the six golden elixir masters of the Penglai Sect. He has cultivated a middle-grade golden elixir.

Taoist Lingxing pointed to an old monk with white hair and white eyebrows wearing a red dragon robe and said: "This is Grandmaster Meng Limeng, the leader of Tianquan Peak.

The new disciples also continued to salute, but Grandmaster Meng Limeng responded rather arrogantly.

Taoist Lingxing introduced the elders and leaders behind him in turn. The thin, middle-aged Taoist was Yongxing, the leader of Yuheng Peak, Mo Yuan was the leader of Tianji Peak, and a beautiful woman in a purple maid uniform turned out to be one of the six great leaders. The leader of the masters is Yu Linglong. She is the leader of Tianxuan Peak and the elder who transmits the Dharma.

Kaiyang Peak and Yaoguang Peak, however, do not have the first seat, only two elders. Among them, Kaiyang Peak is where distinguished guests are received and Dharma meetings are held. Yaoguang Peak is where the true disciples and inner disciples listen to the first seat, the elders preach and discuss. The place.

Then there were some inner sect elders, all of whom were in the Soul Stage.

Taoist Lingxing did not introduce the true disciples and inner disciples one by one, so Shi Xuan only recognized Xie Fangwei among the true disciples, and the others were two men and one woman. The other true disciples were probably traveling abroad.

After the initiation ceremony, Shi Xuan and others were taken back to Jiaomu Peak among the twenty-eight outer peaks, which is where the Outer Gate General Affairs Hall is located. When he came back, Shi Xuan heard Ming Qingyue say something strange about the Penglai sect. The entire Penglai sect had only three halls and four floors. The three halls were the Foreign Affairs Hall, the General Affairs Hall and the Zhanglu Hall. Planting elixirs, mining ores, etc. all depend on whether they are external or internal, and are divided into the Foreign Affairs Hall and the General Affairs Hall respectively. They do not have separate halls like other sects. Li Jinkui, the head of the Foreign Affairs Hall, was in Xihuang at this time and could not come back.

The four buildings are: Tianya Haijiao Tower - where the sect's precious exercises and techniques are located; Ziqi Donglai Tower - the treasure house of the sect, which contains various precious magic weapons, spiritual weapons, weapon refining materials, exotic treasures, etc.; The Great Sun Puzhao Building - where elixirs, elixirs, spiritual stones, etc. are located; the Dragon and Tiger Intersection Building - combines all the low-level things in the first three buildings, mainly for outer disciples. The first three floors are all on Tianshu Peak, and the Longhu Intersection Building is on Jiaomu Peak.

Originally, Shi Xuan wanted to ask what the first of the four peaks meant. What rights did it have? Unfortunately, Chuanyunzhou was not very slow and soon reached Jiaomu Peak. Shi Xuan had no choice but to follow the new disciples into the main hall of the Outer Gate General Affairs Hall.

The elder of the outer sect general affairs was a tall, fat, bald old man, his surname was Cheng Ping, and he was in the Soul Stage. He was standing on the stage in front of him and was telling these new disciples something that the outer sect disciples should pay attention to.

"You are all monks who admire the Dao and have extraordinary qualifications. But if you join our Penglai sect, you must abide by the rules of our Penglai sect. For outer disciples, our sect will issue a bottle of Soul Condensation Pill and a low-grade spiritual stone every month. Fifty. At the same time, new disciples can also choose a jade slip of martial arts for free, but there are requirements. You must complete one task assigned by the sect every month. If you want more pills and jade slips of spells. , or even magic weapons, then you need to take on more sect tasks, accumulate good deeds, and redeem them yourself. The merit list is in the good deeds room on the left side of the general affairs hall. "

Elder Cheng Ping paused and continued: "New disciples, I will give you a storage bag later, which contains a black outer sect robe, a bottle of Soul Condensation Pill, fifty low-grade spiritual stones, and the A jade slip of good deeds and a green steel sword, a low-grade magical weapon. From now on, every five days, at the Taoist Hall at the top of Shenshui Peak, a leader, elder, true disciple or inner disciple will come to preach and teach, if any. If you have questions about Taoism, you can ask them for advice at that time. Also, after you choose a cave or a palace, the medicinal fields around it belong to you, and you can grow the elixirs you need. "

After Elder Cheng Ping finished speaking, the outer sect deacons or the outer sect disciples who had received the mission of good deeds were already waiting there and handed out the storage bags to Shi Xuan and the others.

Shi Xuan penetrated his spiritual thoughts, and the things inside were indeed as described by Elder Cheng Ping. Then the new disciples were brought to the Dragon and Tiger Intersection Building by the outer sect deacons, and each one could choose a jade slip of the exercises.

The Dragon-Tiger Intersection Building has three floors, one with exercises and books, a second floor with elixirs, and a third floor with magical instruments and materials. After the disciples picked out the jade slips of the exercises on the first floor, they handed them to the deacons in this building, who then copied a jade slip and gave it to the disciples.

The first floor is very large, with eighty outer disciples scattered inside without even the slightest feeling of being stirred up by waves. There is often only one disciple in front of a bookshelf, choosing.

Shi Xuan had thought about it before he came in. He originally wanted to learn some sword-controlling skills and swordsmanship. After all, his All-Seeing Shadowless Sword had to be sacrificed and refined without corresponding swordsmanship. But now the most important thing is to choose. A wind attribute technique is needed to cover it up, at least until you learn "The True Interpretation of the Divine Wind of Heaven and Earth and Liuhe". The art of sword control can only be chosen after accumulating good deeds.

With the decision made, Shi Xuan moved quickly. According to the categories, he found the bookshelves where the wind attribute skills, spells, sword skills, formations, etc. were located. He planned to choose a better one. Although he had "Bao Lu", but stones from other mountains can attack jade. If there is a better method to compare with, the cultivation effect will be better.

"The Great Wind Technique", "Soul-eating Yin Wind Technique" and "Wind Control Technique". Shi Xuan slowly looked at the names and introductions of these jade slips. Suddenly Shi Xuan's eyes lit up and he discovered a technique called "Six Swords of Wind Cutting". "True Art", the name seems to be swordsmanship, but it is placed on the side of martial arts.

Picking up the jade slip, Shi Xuan used his spiritual thoughts to read the detailed introduction inside. These jade slips are restricted, and you can only see detailed introductions. If you want to learn, you have to take it to the deacon and have him copy it to other jade slips before you can view it in full.

This technique is indeed as Shi Xuan expected. It is a technique that integrates sword techniques and techniques. Before learning each sword technique, one must first visualize the sword power and cut off the evil wind in the heart, thereby cultivating the soul. . However, according to the conclusion on the jade slip, the sword technique is good, but the cultivation of the soul is not effective. After all, the souls of low-level monks are mainly nourishing and training, so this technique is placed in the Dragon and Tiger Intersection Building.

But for Shi Xuan, this is not a problem at all. He does not rely on this to practice, it just serves as a cover-up. In addition, Shi Xuan was very satisfied with the fact that the six-way sword technique of the "Six Swords of Wind-Slaying Art" could be regarded as one of the first and second-rate in the cultivation world. Learn this and use it with the Shadowless Sword to give yourself another means of self-protection.

After taking the jade slip, Shi Xuan walked to the entrance of the first floor and handed it to Xiao Wannian, the deacon on this floor. At the same time, he also handed him the jade slip of his good deeds and asked him to record it on it to express Shi Xuan's The new outer sect disciple has learned a skill.

After getting the jade slip of Shi Xuan's good deeds, Xiao Wanchang let out a light sigh, then looked at Shi Xuan with a strange expression and complicated eyes. Shi Xuan felt that there was some pity and sympathy in it, and he couldn't help but wonder, had Meng Yuchang already conveyed his thoughts of revenge to some people in the outer sect?

While waiting for Xiao Wannian to copy the jade slip, Yu Ruoshui also came over with the jade slip. When he saw Shi Xuan, he smiled and said hello: "According to the introduction on the good jade slip, you have to call me Senior Sister Yu ”

Shi Xuan hadn't had time to look at the jade slips of good practices. It was said that there was some common knowledge about the sect, so he could only smile perfunctorily: "Which practice did you choose?"

Yu Ruoshui showed the jade slip to Shi Xuan and said, "Nuo, "The Complete Explanation of the Thirty-six Sword Techniques of the Daily", my own skills are pretty good, and there is no need to change before entering the inner door, so I chose the door sword. Law."

Shi Xuan took the jade slip of his martial art and said to Yu Ruoshui with a smile: "I am a master of swordsmanship." It was not easy to chat here, so Shi Xuan said goodbye and went outside to wait.

While waiting outside, Shi Xuan met Ming Qingyue, Zhou Dielan, and Zhang Haiping one after another, and chatted with them respectively. Ming Qingyue chose the gate formation-"The Overwhelming Formation", and Zhou Dielan chose the The Men Shui-based skill - "Rou Shui Jue" - Zhang Haiping chose the Men-Fire skill - "Rock Fire Divine Skill".

Then several outer sect deacons took Shi Xuan and the others to visit the Shanggong Room. It was a large hall with clear lights on several walls, showing the tasks that could be taken on, including smelting metal, taking care of medicine fields, and others. There are those who are on duty in dangerous areas and those who are asking for certain materials at high prices. Some of these tasks are issued by the sect, some are issued by the leader and elders, and some are issued by the disciples themselves. Among them, the most important task of good deeds is to perfect the "Shenxiao True Dharma" released by the sect, but for the outer disciples who have never seen the Zhen sect's exercises, this is just a cloud.

Afterwards, the caves and palaces were selected. Shi Xuan chose the sunny Chaori Palace located on Xiangyang Peak and obtained the jade pendant that controlled the formation there.

When sending the outer sect disciples back to Xuri Peak and Xinyue Peak, the outer sect deacons announced that in the first month, Shi Xuan and the others only need to familiarize themselves with the sect and concentrate on training, and do not have to accept tasks assigned by the sect.
