Chapter 28 Introductory Ceremony, Compensation for Black and White Academy (2/2)
It's approaching Mao hour.
Xia Mangqian finally appeared in front of the headmaster's hall.
As soon as he appeared, he felt eyes coming from inside the hall.
In these eyes, there is curiosity and scrutiny... but more often than not, there is alienation.
"Senior Brother Xia Mang, you are teaching formal disciples during the entrance examination..."
Mu Zishuo's message rang in Xia Mangan's ears.
Before he could finish speaking, someone spoke.
"The master master is here."
Everyone turned to look.
I saw Bihai Taoist dressed in white flying down from the sky.
There were other figures following him, all of whom were Yuanshen Taoists from the Black and White Academy.
This group of Yuanshen Taoists arrived together, and Mu Zishuo immediately forgot to continue sending messages to remind him.
But Xia Mangqian already knew it.
【Are you talking nonsense among formal disciples? 】
Xia Mangqian sneered in his heart.
Sure enough, the Taoist heart is damaged and the luck is greatly reduced.
He didn't even care about his usual pretense.
However, Beishan Xuantang's stupid move was able to hide it from the official disciples who didn't know the details, but it couldn't hide it from the Yuanshen Taoists and immortals in the academy.
After all, what he did that day was witnessed by the Yuanshen Taoists and immortals in the academy. The more he said things like confusing right and wrong, the more people in the academy would see his true face.
In the end, Beishan Xuantang came to a bad end.
So Xia Mangqian just thought about it and put it behind him.
…
Since Taoist Master Bihai and all the souls in the academy have arrived, the induction ceremony for this year's new disciples will begin immediately.
Among the official disciples of the ‘Black and White Academy’, there are mainly three generations.
The monks from Zifu and Master Wanxiang are third-generation disciples of the same generation, and they call each other brothers.
Taoist Yuan Shen is a second-generation disciple who is a higher generation.
Immortals in the realm of Earth Immortal and Sanxian are the highest generation disciples.
Ordinary third-generation disciples would call him "Uncle Master" when they meet Taoist Master Yuan Shen.
When meeting immortals, they usually call them "Master".
If the disciples of the third generation can worship an immortal as their teacher, they will call the immortal they worship as their master.
But other immortals can still be called master.
Just because the master is an immortal, he will not be directly promoted to the second generation disciple of the academy.
Only those who truly reach the realm of Yuanshen Taoist, or the Immortal Queen of Return to Void Realm, can their status be promoted.
This is almost the consensus of the entire world of immortality cultivation.
Because immortal cultivators live a long life.
Like Wanxiang Zhenren, his lifespan is eight hundred years.
Yuanshen Taoists can live up to ten thousand years.
As for the returning immortals and scattered immortals, as long as they can withstand the three disasters and nine tribulations that are becoming more and more severe, and their Taoist hearts do not collapse, it is not a problem to live for tens or millions of years.
certainly.
The higher the realm and the longer one lives, the more terrifying the power of the three disasters and nine calamities will be.
Only after returning to the void and achieving perfection, surviving the heavenly tribulations and becoming an immortal, can one truly be at ease and free from the three disasters and nine tribulations.
…
There is not much to say about the entire introductory ceremony.
Under the auspices of Taoist Bihai, after a brief introduction to the identities of the three new disciples, they took the blood oath of entry.
That is to say, he made an oath to Heaven to never betray the master and abide by the rules of the master.
Because the way of heaven is the most basic operating law that covers the entire three realms, once you make an oath to the way of heaven, you must never disobey it.
Otherwise, the punishment from heaven will be enough to kill the betrayer before the master comes to punish him.
This is also the reason why "betrayal of the master's sect" is rarely seen in the entire Daxia Dynasty.
…
After swearing the blood oath of heaven, Taoist Bihai nodded with satisfaction and said:
"You are now officially admitted. My Black and White Academy belongs to the Taoist lineage. Since you have started, you should have a Taoist name. Now, think of a Taoist name that you like."
After saying that, Taoist Bihai added with a smile: "If you don't want to take a Taoist name, you can also use your real name as your Taoist name. Some disciples in the academy are used to their real names but not to their Taoist names. There are also many who usually only use their real names. "
"My name is called 'Double Wood'." Mu Zishuo suddenly said.
Ji Ning also said: "My name is Beiming."
Obviously the two of them had thought about it in advance and used the name they had given to the cave on the mountain peak.
"Shuangmu, Beiming." Taoist Bihai nodded slightly and looked down at Xia Mangqian on the other side.
The Taoist Yuanshen and the three generations of disciples in the main hall also looked at him one after another.
This number is both important and unimportant.
It's not important, the name is just a title.
Just like how people in ancient times in Blue Star chose names, it would be more respectful to let outsiders call you instead of calling you by your first name.
It is important because many people will use it to clarify their aspirations when taking the Taoist number.
Or you can take the meaning of the thing that inspires you the most and use it as a Tao name to establish a Tao mentality for yourself.
so--
What nickname will Xia Mangqian take?
This moment.
It’s not just the Yuanshen Taoists and third-generation disciples in the headmaster’s hall.
Even the five immortals in the academy were watching the cave with their water mirror skills.
[Tao number...]
Xia Mangqian's eyes showed deep thought, and after a moment he said: "My name is Xuanhuang."
In this life, I am not accompanied by Hong Xuanji, who is loyal and willing to sacrifice his life for me.
Then take the name of the great world of the previous life ‘Xuanhuang’ as the Taoist name.
It also reminds myself that in the future, I will not forget to return to the world of Yangshen and bring Hong Xuanji back from the long river of time.
"Xuanhuang?" Taoist Bihai whispered softly.
Other immortals, Yuanshen Taoists, and second-generation disciples also looked thoughtful, but no one could guess the meaning.
"Okay." Taoist Bihai nodded, "The Taoist name has been decided. The elders of my master sect in Black and White Academy will discuss it and someone will choose you as a disciple. If you don't want to, you can also say so."
"Yes." Ji Ning and Mu Zishuo both responded.
Xia Mangqian looked outside the main hall door.
Two figures, one short and one tall, have appeared outside the door.
It was with the Hanshan Immortal and the Diancai Immortal.
"Uncle, uncle." Bihai Taoist stood up to greet him.
"Meet my uncle, my uncle."
The Yuanshen Taoists above the main hall all stood up and saluted respectfully.
Some of the third-generation disciples were at a loss, but when they saw the head teacher and their masters and uncles all saluting, they knew they were immortals from the academy, so they hurriedly said "meet the master" and saluted respectfully.
In an instant, the two immortals who suddenly arrived together became the core of the entire hall.
【He is an immortal with great talent.】
Ji Ning saw the man in black clothes and black hair coming.
He immediately found the corresponding identity from the Black and White Academy information given by Beishan Baiwei——
'The Immortal of the Imperial Palace: The Immortal of the Black and White Academy. He is very good at using swords and has no disciples.'
【Are you here to accept me as your disciple? 】
Ji Ning held his breath and looked at the Immortal Diancai expectantly.
He saw the Immortal Dian Cai nodded slightly at him, and then said to the young child on the side: "Senior Brother, please come first."
"Um."
The immature child 'Hanshan Immortal' looked at Xia Mangqian, and his extremely old voice echoed through the entire headmaster's hall.
"Xuanhuang, are you willing to close the door for me as a disciple?"
Closed disciple?
Everyone in the hall was shocked.
The so-called "closed disciple" refers to the last disciple accepted by the master.
After closing his disciples, the master will no longer accept any more disciples.
Therefore, closed disciples are often the most beloved disciples of their masters, and they are also the disciples who inherit the true inheritance.
"Disciple is willing." Xia Mangqian knelt down, kowtowed respectfully, and said, "Meet the master."
"Okay, come with me." Immortal Hanshan showed a smile on his young face, nodded to Immortal Diancai, and teleported away with Xia Mangqian.
Ji Ning looked at this scene with burning eyes, but he was not very envious in his heart.
Because the Diancai Immortal obviously came here for himself.
Moreover, the talented Immortal didn't even have any disciples. He became the top disciple as soon as he entered the academy, and his status was no worse than that of the disciples who had just closed the door.
…
Inside the palace hall.
Hanshan Immortal sat on the jade bed and looked at Xia Mangqian with a smile.
"I have been reincarnated three times. Including this life, I have cultivated for four lives in total. Each life has entered the Black and White Academy. Therefore, although I have only been a Sanxian for more than 200,000 years in this life, my seniority and strength have not been the same for a long time. He is the leader among the immortals in the Academy."
【Reincarnated three times?】
Xia Mangqian looked at Hanshan Immortal in surprise.
This reincarnation experience is richer than his.
certainly.
The reincarnation described by the Hanshan Immortal is that the Earth Immortal failed to cross the tribulation and became the Sanxian Queen.
As he survived longer, he gradually became unable to hold on under the increasingly dangerous three disasters and nine tribulations, so he made various arrangements to reincarnate and rebuild again through the six paths of reincarnation in the underworld.
Generally, the place of reincarnation will be the big world where you were originally born.
There are tribes and sects that are closely related to the underworld, or those who can obtain the imperial talisman of the Lord of the Great World like Emperor Xia, and can even be reincarnated into a designated tribe.
But it is completely different from every time he travels through time and is reborn in a different novel world.
Seeing the surprise in Xia Mangqian's eyes, Hanshan Immortal smiled and said: "I am not telling you this to show off to you that I have been practicing for a long time and have senior qualifications..."
As he spoke, the Hanshan Immortal shook his head, "Four lives of hard work have failed to achieve the goal of becoming a heavenly immortal. There are still two lives left, and even the heavenly calamity has not yet had time to try, and the person has fallen halfway... speaking of it, it is not something worth showing off."
"I say this because I actually want to tell you." Hanshan Immortal said solemnly, "No matter how good your qualifications are, no matter how noble your status, you must always remember, always be in awe, and always be vigilant."
"We must be in awe of heaven and earth. We cannot just look up at the sky and forget that without the earth under our feet, we would not even have a foothold."
"Be wary of people's hearts. Remember to know people's faces but not their hearts. Be cautious when dealing with people. Keep everything in mind and don't reveal all your cards."
"The road to cultivating immortality may seem carefree, but in fact it is extremely dangerous! If you are not careful, your body and soul will be destroyed, and you will not even have a chance to be reincarnated. So you must keep these few words in mind."
"Yes." Xia Mangqian said seriously, "Disciples must bear this in mind."
"Yes." Hanshan Immortal nodded and continued, "In my Black and White Academy, if you want to learn the top techniques and top magical powers, you must exchange them for Black and White Pills. Do you know?"
Xia Manggan nodded.
The Black and White Pill is equivalent to the sect contribution points and points in many novels. It is a reward given to the disciples by the Black and White Academy.
The elixir itself has no value.
But because it can be exchanged for Dharma and magical powers in the Daozang Hall of Black and White Academy, it is often valued more by disciples than Yuan Ye.
"When you just get started, you can get a basic one thousand black and white pills." Hanshan Immortal said, "If you have reached the realm of Tao enlightenment, you can get a thousand black and white pills as a reward for one 'Tao'. You have two, which is two thousand Black and white pill."
"If you enter the 'Great Road', you will be rewarded with two thousand black and white pills. You have three, which is six thousand black and white pills."
"If the soul of the third generation disciple reaches the level of spiritual consciousness, he will be rewarded with two thousand black and white pills."
"In addition, during the entrance examination, the academy has already punished you for the Beishan Xuantang incident. In addition, you will be compensated with six thousand black and white pills."
Hanshan Immortal paused for a moment, then said, "So you have a total of seventeen thousand black and white pills."
"Yes." Xia Mangqian nodded, not surprised that Black and White Academy directly used Black and White Pills to compensate for the assessment, but was a little surprised by the amount of compensation.
Six thousand black and white elixirs are as much as the rewards for getting started with his three 'great roads', which is really not a small amount.
Many formal disciples may not be able to possess six thousand black and white pills even after 20 or 30 years of entry.
"You already know the path to my cave. Now you can go directly to Daozang Hall to receive the black and white pills and the quota of Yuan liquid. Then you can choose to practice methods, spells, magical powers, etc. there." Hanshan Immortal said, "If you practice well, , if you have any questions, you can come to see me at any time, go ahead."
After saying that, Hanshan Immortal closed his eyes and stopped talking.
This actually made Xia Mangqian even more surprised.
[Master, as well as the immortals in the academy, aren’t they curious about the inheritance left by the Hunyuan Celestial Immortal? It’s been two days, but they haven’t even asked. 】
Xia Mangqian suppressed his doubts, bowed and left, heading to the Daozang Hall.
The Hanshan Immortal was left silently sitting on the jade bed, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, showing a hint of a smile.
Chapter completed!
