053 suspicious

Accompanied by Sima Hanling and Zhao Mingguang, Nangong Xia came to the square of the Yuhua Palace again.

It was early in the morning, the sky was very blue, and there was no cloud in the sky. However, at the time of the mountainside, there was still a vast white fog and blooming. At this time, more than 30 disciples stood in six rows. Nangong Xia took a general look and saw that there were 35 people in total, but one team was one person missing.

"Brother Nangong, stand there quickly. It's about to start." Sima Hanling pointed to the empty seat of one of those disciples. After saying that, she entered the hall from the west gate with Zhao Mingguang.

Nangong Xia nodded and stood in the vacant seat among those disciples. Most of these disciples are 11- or 12-year-old teenagers, who are as old as Nangong Xia, but Ganangxia himself has only four. Standing among these young disciples with four people, it seems extremely abrupt. At this time, these disciples stood in six rows, one of which was full of women, six rows horizontally and vertically, with 36 people. For a while, the scene was quiet, but there was no disciple who spoke casually.

Nangong Xia did not expect that what Sima Hanling said was about to start, but he let everyone stand on the square for more than an hour, and then he entered the hall under the arrangement of the disciples of Yuhua Palace. At this time, some younger disciples could hardly walk normally.

Nangong Xia knew in his heart that this should also be a small test for his disciples.

When it was time for the fourth group, Nangong Xia entered the main hall under the leadership of a disciple in his twenties.

In the hall of Yuhua Palace, there are already ten Taoists sitting in front of the case, twice as many as the number of people at the last martial arts meeting. These people sit in two rows. Those sitting in the front row are the six men and one woman who appeared when talking about martial arts, while the people in the back row are extremely face-to-faced. It must be the hidden Yuhua Palace. The senior master of cultivation. The Taoist who claimed to be an "fairy in chess" is also sitting in the fourth position of his left hand at this time, and his identity must be not low.

"Masters, teachers, bring it to Group Ding." The leader bent down to a few people in the middle, and then handed over a wooden card to another disciple in the hall. The disciple took the wooden card, then saluted Sanqing and put the wooden card on the table.

The person who took over the wooden card was Song Junping. He was originally a disciple of the head of the family, so his status in the Yuhua Palace is also uncertain.

"Well, let's begin." Qingxuan, who was sitting in the middle, nodded slightly. After saying that, he continued to close his eyes and ignore the things on the meeting.

"Yes." A Taoist who seemed to be in his forties got up and answered, only to see his sword eyes and star eyebrows, with a heroic face. On his left hand, there was a string of strange keys. This person worshipped three times in front of the ancestor of Sanqing, and then took a carved wooden plate from the case in front of the statue. There was a bronze mirror and six jade cards in this plate.

The leader bowed over the wooden plate and walked to six people. The key Taoist took the first person's recommendation letter and explored it carefully. The first person was a seven or eight-year-old teenager, and Nangong Xia did not know him.

After that, the key Taoist picked up the bronze mirror. The bronze mirror was tied with gold wire, surrounded by the sun, moon, stars, mountains and rivers. The key Taoist secretly pinched the formula. There seemed to be a cyan light flashing between his fingers, which was extremely light but not real. In an instant, a vast atmosphere rose around the bronze mirror, as white as green, scattered and condensed. The key Taoist took the teenager's hand and cut the teenager's finger with an air sword. The teenager was in pain, but he only frowned slightly, and then his expression returned to normal. The key Taoist nodded slightly, and then dropped the teenager's blood on the mirror. At this time, the copper mirror was full of vitality, and the Taoist carefully checked the mirror. About half an hour later, the spirit of the mirror gradually faded away.

"Brother Gao, please come and check it out." The key Taoist turned his head to the humane standing on the left.

Another middle-aged man came to the teenager and put his hand on top of his head. After a moment, he nodded his head gently and shook his head again. Behind the man, another young disciple came out from the side door with the teenager. After that, the disciple returned alone, but the teenager did not know where he was taken.

About half an hour later, it was Nangong Xia's turn. Nangong Xia was wondering, but he saw the Qingzhen stand up and said, "Nangxia, I have promised you that if you can pass my Yuhua Palace test, I will recommend a good master for you. This is the time to fulfill the promise at that time."

"Wait a minute." The speaker was the old Taoist who called himself a "fairy in chess". At this time, he stood up, slowly walked to Nangong Xia, took the jade card that led the disciple on the plate, and then said, "This disciple, I accept it."

The Qingyan real person was slightly embarrassed when she saw this, but after all, she had been practicing for a long time, and then she smiled bitterly when she saw this, and then sat back and stopped asking about this kind of thing. At this time, other disciples also looked at each other, but most of them were juniors, and they didn't say much at this time.

"Brother, this is you." Qingxuan said that when he saw that there were two groups behind him, he said to the elderly Taoist who called himself "Qinzhongxian": "Brother, let's not talk about this matter first. Let's talk about it after the next two groups."

"Okay, you share yours, and I'll take my disciples away first." After saying that, the man was going to leave here. Nangong Xia saw some, but he was also a little stunned.

"Brother." Qingxuan Zhen said, he looked at the old Taoist for a long time, and then said, "The matter of Nangong Xia still needs to be discussed again. Moreover, as the elder of the family, the ceremony of worship of the new disciple is not over. How can you leave before the matter is over?"

"Well, then wait a minute." The old man said, and then he sat back in his seat.

After that, there were still two groups in turn, but it also took a lot of time. After the assignment was over, the key Taoist of the department said to Qingxuan, "Master, after the assignment of disciples, do you want to sacrifice to the heavenly official?"

"Well, according to the usual etiquette." Qingxuan nodded. After saying that, he got up with the other ten seniors sitting in the hall and stood on both sides of the platform.

"The disciples have been assigned. Please enter the hall." The key Taoist spoke loudly to the outside world, and soon after, he saw the disciples who had been taken away return to the hall again.

The disciples all knelt in two columns under the leadership of the teacher. Qingxuan Taoist held nine small finger thick incense in his hand and inserted it into the incense burner after three worships.

Everyone on the court worshipped, and Nangong Xia was no exception.

After Qingxuan finished worshipping, he took a jade ultimatum from the case and read it.

"Sanqing is on the top, and his younger brother is Qingxuan. He has been in charge of the Yuyuan Jiuhua Palace for more than 30 years. Although he has never had it, he has no achievements. His disciples often think deeply about themselves and feel deeply regretted him. Now, there are thirty-six disciples of the disciples of the Inner Gate. The disciples should carefully teach themselves, so that they can practice themselves and understand their own methods. May Taoism bless them. May they have a day. Look at the foundation of morality, raise the mysterious light of our Taoism, and save the world with suffering... Geng Shen's autumn."

For about two or three quarters of an hour, the Xuanzhen people no longer read the contents of the jade ultimatum, but instead worshipped the three Qing Dynasty, and everyone also knelt down with the Qing Xuan Taoist. At this point, the disciples thought it was about to end, but they never thought that the Qingxuan Taoist picked up the jade ultimatum and continued to read it.

Some young disciples on the field have encouraged and persisted at this time.

"Yang Wei, Jingzhou Wang Xing, Bei Bing Zhang He, Jiangzhou Liu Yin, Dongyi Zhao Xun, Sizhou Zeng Xiang, came forward to Jingxiang."

What is called this time is the names of the disciples, which let the disciples worship incense in turn. After everyone worshipped, the real Qing Xuandao talent in charge of teaching said some encouraging words, and then ordered the disciples to take an oath together in front of the Sanqing throne, and then it was finished. These newly recorded disciples all left here under the leadership of the teachers.

And above the hall, there are only Nangong Xia and more than a dozen other elders.

When Qingxuan saw that all his disciples had left, he was extremely intelligent, but he was mistaken for his clever brother and said, "Brother, many years ago, you said that you wanted to enter the Tao by game, because you had abandoned your cultivation and changed your Taoist name to Qingyi without authorization. At this time, your martial arts of entering the Tao, you practiced How's it going?" After Qingxuan finished speaking, he shook his head and sighed again.

"Brother, if you don't know anything, you can measure the world and play foreign things. Between the vertical and horizontal disk, it is the sky and the earth. Its black and white changes, summarizing everything in the world, and its son's chess game on its plate is to create changes for all living things. The square is made of vertical and horizontal lines evenly intersecting, which is simple and perfect. If you stare at it for a long time, you will feel a sense of unity and confusion. It's like looking up at the vast sky and overlooking the vast earth. Therefore, the game can evolve everything in heaven and earth, and why can't it be used to enter the Tao? Qingyi said, saying here, and then he looked up at the sky outside the hall, as if he wanted to despise the sky and the earth. ( Note 1)

"Enough, brother, haven't you been wrong for so many years?" Qingxuan Taoist said that he calmed down and then said, "What's more, the people who accept apprentices this time are all your disciples. How can you accept your own apprentices?"

"Dare to ask my brother, I have received an apprentice over the years." Qingyi turned around and said that his eyes seemed to be extremely bright at this time, but they were different from usual, which also made the people who knew him strange on the court.

"No." Qingxuan thought for a moment, and then replied like this. At this time, he turned his back, but stopped looking at the younger brother.

"Then how many of you and I do you think can be worthy of his master with this son's cultivation." Qingyi said again. At the same time, he looked at everyone on the court and finally stopped his eyes on Nangong Xia.

"This son has a high cultivation, but no one among your disciples should be qualified to be his master." Qingxuan's reply was also quick this time.

"Then, why can't I take him as a disciple and teach him this magic skill of entering the Tao?" Then Qingyi said again.

Qing Xuan did not answer Qingyi. He just turned around and looked at Qingyi. After a long time, he turned to Nangong Xia and asked, "You heard what you just said. Would you like to worship Qingyi as a teacher? He practiced his so-called method of entering the Tao with a game, and at the same time, he was higher than the generation of new disciples.

Nanggong Xia did not know whether it was right or wrong. He just intuitively thought that what this Qingyi Taoist said was not wrong, and it was the same as what Yingyu said when he taught him to play the piano, so he replied, "I don't know, but it's better to ask the teacher to make a determination."

"Well, in that case, you can worship Qing as your teacher." Qingxuan Zhendao gently patted his brother on the shoulder, and then said to Nangong Xia, "Of course, in addition, you can also practice other spells. In this way, if you want to learn other spells, you can ask me for advice, or ask other teachers or brothers."

"Yes." Nangong Xiadao, the atmosphere on the court was a little strange at this time, so Nangong Xia didn't want to say anything before the situation was unknown.

"Well, brother, take him down first." Qing Xuandao waved to this Qingyi after saying that, which showed that he was also a little impatient.

Nangong Xia was about to leave, but he heard the Qing Yao real person say, "If you want to practice other spells, you can ask Han Ling to come to me."

"Yes, thank you for your concern." Nangong Xiadao, this Qingyao and Qingyi are both Qing characters, so he called each other uncle.

"Well, go ahead. You just entered the Yuhua Palace. You still have a lot of trivial things to deal with." Qing Yao said, and after saying that, he nodded to Nangong Xia again, but he seemed to appreciate Nangong Xia more.

After Nangong Xia left with Qingyi, Qingxuan said to the others present, "What do you think about this Nangong Xia?"

"The magic he used is a Taoist magic. There is no problem, but the earth-shaking lightsaber he used in the end is very strange." The Qing Yao Zhenren said, and then she looked at the direction Nangong Xia left, and then sighed gently.

"In my opinion, those lightsabers are like being controlled by other evil things with profound cultivation, and the subsequent coma is more like giving up." The speaker was Qingyu, a real person. When he talked about Taoism and martial arts, he dealt with many things, and he knew this matter in more detail.

"The question is where the evil thing came from. His cultivation is so high that since he took it away, why did he fail?" Qing Xuanzhen, the head, said that he also felt extremely strange about this problem.

"I have checked the sword he used. The sword is indeed a divine sword, but although the sword is extremely restrained, it does not look like an evil thing, and there is nothing else suspicious about him." Qingyu replied.

All the important things of Nangong Xia are placed in the mirror sent by Yingxuan, and the mirror is an ordinary bronze mirror in the eyes of outsiders. Qingyu's real person has not found anything, and the divine sword checked by Qingyu's real person is actually a real light sword. As for Nangong Xia's evil sword, it is included by Yingyu. In the Tianyu mirror.

"It's better. I heard that a plague broke out in Xuancheng recently. It is said that the plague is extremely strange, so I just let him go to check it out. We can also send someone to go together to see if he has any problems nearby." Qing Yao Zhenren said, and after saying that, he cast an inquiring look at Qing Xuan Zhenren.

"That's good." Qing Xuanzhen said.

Nangong Xia did not know that his comparison with Liu Feng made Yuhua Palace suspicious of himself.
