Catalog of Destruction

Passing through the end of the mist-filled Qingguang Bridge, a large bamboo forest appeared in front of Shi Xuan's eyes. The sunshine in the sky was soft, and the chirping of cranes could be heard from time to time. Outside the bamboo forest, exotic flowers and plants competed for beauty, filling his nose with fragrance for a while.

Several outer disciples of the Penglai sect standing by the bridge, dressed in black clothes, saw Shi Xuan and others walking down the Qingguang Bridge, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet them: "Fellow Taoists, this is the mountainside of Kaiyang Peak. You will stay here for the next few days, and in eight days, the ceremony to recruit disciples will begin at the top of Kaiyang Peak."

Two people came out from among them, a man and a woman, and led the male monk and female monk respectively to the opposite direction of the bamboo forest. Perhaps after the experience of sharing hardships and supporting each other on the Qingguang Bridge, Yu Ruoshui and Zhou Dielan made peace. Shi Xuan was a little reluctant to leave. After all, this was an unfamiliar place, and it was rare to have an acquaintance.

Shi Xuan and other male monks, led by the male outer disciple, walked through the bamboo forest and came to an open space where many small bamboo buildings stood.

The outer disciple, who had been serious all the way, pointed at the bamboo tower and said: "This is where you will live these days, two people per seat, follow me."

A familiar monk with short stature and pleasant appearance asked with a smile: "Has the Penglai sect always prepared these bamboo buildings for the ten-year Dharma assembly?"

The outer disciple gave him a cold look: "These were all caused by magic some time ago. When the ceremony is over, they will turn back into a bamboo forest."

The attitude of this outer disciple made many monks dare not say anything more, and they followed him to the bamboo tower. According to his assignment, they entered the bamboo tower two people at a time.

In the distribution room, a smile suddenly appeared on the face of the outer disciple. He walked a few steps quickly, leaving behind the monks behind him, and walked to several monks who came out from the corner of the bamboo building at the back.

"Senior Brother Meng, why are you here in person?" He, who had been stern just now, could only describe his expression as flattering.

The people who came over were none other than Meng Yuchang and a few of his friends whom Shi Xuan had met at Tidal Square that day. They were two men and two women. One was frivolous and the other was gloomy. The women were all as beautiful as flowers, but there was one more person. The thin young man looked very similar to Meng Yuchang. His eyelids were slightly swollen, his energy was very low, and he yawned frequently.

When Meng Yu saw this outer monk coming to salute, a smile appeared on his face: "It's Wang Yuan, I guess. I didn't expect you to be assigned to prepare for the ceremony this time. Come, let's get to know each other. This is my brother Meng Yuqian. This time He's also here to attend the Dharma conference, so you need to discipline him more strictly." He didn't return the favor, but pulled the young man who was in low spirits.

Wang Yuan was very excited that Meng Yuchang remembered his name and quickly replied: "Absolutely, definitely, I will take good care of Brother Yuqian. Besides, Brother Yuqian is your brother, Senior Brother Meng. He is also a genius, so I will give it to you." If you don’t take care of it, it will definitely be fine.”

Meng Yuchang was very satisfied with Wang Yuan's answer, and turned around and said to the gloomy man: "Junior Brother Ma, I remember that you have a close relationship with Deacon Ye, who is assigned to the general affairs of the outer sect, and remember to ask him to mention Junior Brother Wang Yuan more. "

The man surnamed Ma smiled a little: "That's natural. With your orders, Senior Brother Meng, how dare Deacon Ye object."

Wang Yuan was surprised and happy again, and kept laughing at the side.

Meng Yuchang frowned and looked at his younger brother again, and said in a bad tone: "Yuqian, stop looking like this. This is your last chance. I found the Nine-turn Qianyuan Pill at home to improve your roots." Gu, if you can no longer enter the sect, you will be nothing in the family, and grandpa will no longer speak for you. "

Meng Yuqian yawned loudly. Seeing that his brother was really looking bad, he quickly calmed down his lazy look and said, "I know, I know. Besides, with you taking action this time, there's nothing we can do about it. Yesterday's Qingguang Bridge" Don’t you also use Qing Xin Ning Shen to wear it?”

"Then you have to be brave, otherwise I won't be able to speak for you, eldest brother. Do you understand?" Meng Yuchang nodded to his younger brother again, then turned back to the man surnamed Ma and said, "I don't know this time. What was Uncle Mo thinking? He used the Shengxuan Jade View Tower on Yingke Island. Did he want to change the rules of the Dharma Assembly for more than 10,000 years? "

The man surnamed Ma thought for a moment and said: "I heard someone say that Uncle Mo wanted to eliminate a group of people on Yingke Island to avoid too many people during the Dharma ceremony. Moreover, they were very measured and all the children left. The bridge is less than one tenth."

"I hope so." Meng Yuchang nodded, then walked away in another direction with his younger brother and a few followers.

When Meng Yuchang walked away, Wang Yuan turned around and came back. His face turned into the dead face again, which made several casual cultivators mutter something unknown.

I don't know if it was fate or not, but Shi Xuan and Zhang Haiping were assigned to a jade building, one upstairs and one downstairs.

The eight days passed quickly. During these few days, Zhang Haiping was still making friends with monks everywhere, but he was also very enthusiastic about Shi Xuan. He probably thought that Shi Xuan had a chance of joining the Penglai Sect and could help him in the future.

Meng Yuqian has gained quite a reputation among many monks, but it is a pity that he is not a good one. He is bullying others, cruel, lustful, and a playboy. If it were not for Wang Yuan, who is in charge of the casual cultivator station, he , 80% of them were expelled from the Bamboo House and were not allowed to attend the Dharma assembly.

On the morning of the Dharma Conference, Shi Xuan calmed down and concentrated on his daily morning classes. The Dharma Conference was very important, but his own cultivation was fundamental and he could not relax at all.

After finishing morning lessons, Shi Xuan mixed with the group of monks and headed towards the peak. Along the way, there were forests of giant trees, birds singing and flowers fragrant, and full of spiritual energy. Just on the road, it was much better than the cave that Shi Xuan had chosen in Tide Fang.

The top of the peak is a large flat square covered with blue bricks. At a glance, there are thousands of monks waiting here. If Qingguang Bridge hadn't eliminated a group of them, there would have been several times more.

As soon as Chen Shi arrived, a gentle voice came: "Every monk, please go to the nine inner disciples in front of you to register your age, cultivation level, and have your bones measured. Anyone who disturbs you will be asked to come back." It was Xie Fangwei's voice.

Registering age, cultivation level and measuring bones is a very simple matter, but it can't handle the large number of people. There are only nine inner disciples in front of him, plus a few outer disciples who assist him, there are no more than fifty people. There are thousands of monks here.

Shi Xuan was mixed in a line of monks, moving forward slowly, and from time to time he heard reminders from the inner disciples in front: "Those who are in the Qi nourishing stage are over forty, those who are in the out-of-body stage are over sixty, and those who are in the Qi entraining stage are over one Those who are 120 years old, please go back and don’t come here to register your age, cultivation level or have your bones measured.”

However, some people did not believe in evil and still wanted to give it a try. However, their true colors were quickly revealed under the spells of the inner disciples and were taken out of the square by the outer disciples.

It wasn't until noon that it was Shi Xuan's turn.

The person in charge of Shi Xuan's team of monks is an inner disciple in a blue robe, with a Chinese character face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a serious expression. He said in a serious tone: "Report your name, age, cultivation level, and the age at which you broke through to this realm. Anyone who lies will be kicked out of the peak."

Shi Xuan has nothing to hide from above. To tell the truth: "Shi Xuan, I am now a little over twenty-one years old. He is in the out-of-body stage. He was in his early twenties when he broke through to this realm."

After hearing this, the inner sect disciple pinched a magic weapon and used it on Shi Xuan. A burst of blue light appeared, and then he nodded: "The age is indeed twenty-one years old, and the cultivation level is indeed the out-of-body stage." , It should take one to two years to reach this state, can you remember it?"

The assisting outer disciple looked up at Shi Xuan with some surprise while registering. Hearing the inner disciple's question, he nodded and replied: "Senior Brother Bai, everything has been registered."

The disciple surnamed Bai performed the spell again, and this time a bright moon appeared on Shi Xuan's body, but unfortunately it was only the size of a head. The disciple surnamed Bai then said to the outer disciple in charge of registration: "The root bone is in the middle and upper level." After a pause, he continued: "Judging from his age and cultivation level, this kind of root bone can reach this level, which is considered meritorious. The Dharma is outstanding, and the talent and understanding are also superior, so take note of it.”

Ethereal things like talent and understanding are difficult to measure directly, so the Penglai sect draws a more general conclusion based on the age and current state of breakthrough to the current state, and then removes the role of the root and bones.

In terms of root and bone, it is important to monks, but it is not important. What is important is that those with good root and bone will practice quickly and can break through the previous realms quickly. What is not important is that every step of Qi training is reborn. In the process of reshaping the root bones, as long as one can cultivate to the out-of-body stage, no matter how bad the original root bones are, they will become at least average. After the qi-entraining stage of quenching the body with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it will basically be of the best or superior quality. At the same time, there are many pills that can change the bones.

When Shi Xuan stood up and was about to leave, he suddenly realized that someone was watching him, but the feeling disappeared in a flash. If Shi Xuan hadn't practiced the supreme method, he would not have noticed it.

Shi Xuan looked around as he walked, and soon discovered that Xie Fangwei was sitting behind several inner disciples, meditating and practicing there. His face was calm, and it was impossible to tell that he was still testing in front of him. After Xie Fangwei, sitting on a jade platform was a young Taoist priest wearing a Tai Chi robe. He was handsome and practicing with his eyes closed, but his face was as condensed as thousand-year-old frost. Shi Xuan guessed that it was the cold-faced Lei Jun Mo Yuan. .

This is the first time Shi Xuan has seen Grandmaster Jindan, but from a distance, Grandmaster Jindan is no different from an ordinary monk. It is not as good as a monk in the Qi-entraining stage who cannot control the true energy and has frequent strange phenomena on his body, which is more eye-catching. .

Shi Xuan followed the team and walked back to the other end of the square, and unexpectedly saw Yu Ruoshui and Zhou Dielan. When they saw Shi Xuan, they looked happy, thinking it would be a good test.

"Fellow Daoist Shi, I see you have a good face. I think your talent, understanding, and skills are all top-notch." Yu Ruoshui, who always had a cold and arrogant expression, was teasing Shi Xuan with a smile on his face.
