Chapter 22: Lingzhengmen
More than half a month later, the villagers heard a news in the city.
Lingzheng Sect will open the mountain gate and recruit boys and girls under the age of fifteen who have the talent for cultivation to practice.
At first, Dahu just thought there were rumors among the market, but with the arrival of the county magistrate himself, Dahu couldn't help but feel moved.
Now the big tiger is in urgent need of strength, and the Lingzheng Sect is recruiting disciples and disciples, which is also a rare opportunity.
The county magistrate held the village chief's hand with great enthusiasm: "Old man, I believe that the old man has heard of the fact that Lingzheng Sect has recruited disciples recently. Although you moved from other places to the city, you are now the people of my Qiwu. Even though Lingzheng Sect has recruited disciples, I think your children should have this opportunity. If there are children in the future who can practice Taoism and become immortals, or who will join the army in the future, it will be the glory of our county."
The villagers couldn't help but burst into tears. They were unable to imagine that they could enter the Taoist sect to practice, but they were unimaginable before.
Before everyone has ever been exposed to everything beyond their perception, they are thinking about how to live the next day well.
But after countless things, their horizons have become different. If there are really some children in the village who can practice and achieve enlightenment, it is undoubtedly a great opportunity.
Even if you cannot practice and achieve enlightenment, at least your child’s fate will no longer be to die between old age and trunks.
The opportunity given by the county magistrate is undoubtedly the hope of everyone.
The county magistrate laughed: "Among your children, they are strong, and they are undoubtedly good seedlings of cultivation. Zhu Ping, the son of this official, has long been worshipped by the law enforcement elder of Lingzheng Sect. The child is more willful in daily life, but his nature is not bad. Although the child has had a dispute with a child in the village, I have scolded him. My unscrupulous child is willing to accept that child as a scholar. All children can avoid many detours when they enter Lingzheng Sect in the future."
The Taoist Shensuan was sitting at the door to drink tea, but when he heard this, he said coldly: "Mr. The son who had a dispute with Prince Ling has already worshipped under my disciple. I am afraid he can't be the book boy of Prince Ling."
The county magistrate saw that the Taoist priest was fairy-like and full of fairy aura, but he couldn't help but frown: "Is this Taoist priest,,,?"
The Taoist of God waved his hand, but found a chair to sit down, and smiled at the county magistrate and said, "I am the Taoist of God of God of Yuhua Mountain. I can know astronomy and geography. I usually subdue demons and eliminate demons and expel ghosts and evil spirits. No matter what difficult things are, tell me, I will do the same to me and turn bad luck into good luck."
The county magistrate looked suspicious, but he thought about it again and again, and smiled at the village chief: "I think twice, this is a great opportunity. It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to join the Lingzheng Sect's disciple."
The village chief and others nodded repeatedly and accompanied Xiao to send the county magistrate away.
When the county magistrate left, everyone looked at the village chief in confusion. One of the young men asked boldly: "Village Chief, why don't you agree to the county magistrate? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
A strange look flashed across the village chief's face: "Didn't you listen to the words of the county magistrate? He helped us take our children to join the disciples of Lingzheng Sect, but asked Dahu to become a book boy. Do you know what the book boy means? Once Dahu becomes the book boy of the county magistrate's prince, he will be a slave for the rest of his life. Even if he makes a difference in the future, as long as the county magistrate's prince does not let go, Dahu will always be a slave. Do you want to ruin Dahu's life for your own children?"
Everyone looked at each other for a moment, but no one thought about this level.
The Taoist God Stories laughed: "You foolish people, you have some insight this time, but I am underestimating you."
"fraud."
"I fool the people."
The village chief and the Taoist Taoist of Shensuan shouted and scolded each other, but then they turned their heads.
Although the villagers valued this opportunity, Dahu and everyone experienced countless hardships. They had long regarded this child as their relatives, but they did not have the idea of sending Dahu as a book boy to fulfill his child.,,,,
On the fourth day, the villagers finally made a bold decision.
The villagers sent the children to Lingzheng Sect by themselves.
When the decision was made, the villagers were shocked. However, when the suggestion was put forward, everyone agreed with each other. At first, the Taoist Divine Sect was never willing to let the Dahu worship the subordinates of the Lingzheng Sect. However, after being quietly beaten by a mysterious man at night, he never dared to stop the Dahu from worshiping under the Lingzheng Sect again.
The next day, under the leadership of the village chief, the young and strong in the village brought 26 children, including Lian Dahu, and went straight to Lingzheng Sect. The Taoist Shensuan insisted on following him. Even if the village chief and Dahu threatened the Taoist Shensuan, the Taoist Shensuan insisted on following him, saying that he saw the dark light shining on the head of the crowd, and as soon as he followed, he protected the Dharma and relieved the disaster.
The villagers were grateful for the Taoist's statement, but Dahu and the village chief wanted to crush the Taoist's bones and throw them into ashes.
The group walked halfway, but saw many pedestrians holding the same destination with them.
Lingzheng Sect is the first Xuanmen Sect sect in Qingyang County. It is said that the leader of Lingzheng Sect, Yu Qing, has reached the holy realm with his cultivation. Even if he looks at the Qingyu Empire and the entire Jiuzhou, he is still a top-notch figure. Yu Qing Zhen Sect is upright and once said that he went deep into the mountains and zodiacs to kill demons that harmed Cang, which naturally attracted people from all walks of life to squeeze their descendants into Lingzheng Sect's practice.
Even if you cannot become an inner disciple of the Lingzheng Sect, even if you are just a servant of the Lingzheng Sect, you may be able to cultivate a little spiritual power, which will be of great benefit in the future.
"Brother, are you also sending the children to Lingzheng Sect for selection?" An experienced old man greeted the village chief: "Looking at you, you are so nervous, but you don't know that they are from that village."
The village chief laughed: "We are coming from the border town."
The old man was stunned at first, and then sighed: "It seems that it is not easy for you to survive in the city. The wealthy families in the city are generally sent to the Lingzheng Sect by the county magistrate's office for selection. The county magistrate has a good relationship with many elders of the Lingzheng Sect. I heard that as long as the money is used in place, the children sent by the government can directly enter the second level. Only those of us who live in poor villages outside the city will send their children to the selection without money."
The village chief was stunned: "Is there anything strange about this first level?"
The old man couldn't help but wonder: "Old man, do you really not know?"
The village chief shook his head blankly: "But I really didn't know this."
"After passing the first level, even if the following level cannot pass, you can still be a traitor of the Lingzheng Sect."
“Is the first level difficult?”
"Difficult?" The old man laughed: "In fact, it is not difficult to pass the first level. As long as you have spiritual roots, you can pass the first level. However, this spiritual root is not something that anyone can have. Among hundreds of people, it is difficult for one person to truly have spiritual roots. Two years ago, a child in my village was pregnant with spiritual roots. After passing the second level, he became a child from the outside family, but he was the best result among thousands of children."
"Aren't you the same disciple?" The village chief looked surprised, thinking that it was when he was in the border desertion, and the private school teacher accepted disciples. He thought that he was even divided into different levels.
"Haha,,,," the old man laughed: "There will be the same disciples, and the spiritual sects, the most important abilities in the Taoist sect. Children who can pass the first level can naturally become servile disciples, and the outer elders occasionally teach immortal arts. The second level can become an outer disciple, and the outer elders teach Taoism. The third level can become an inner disciple, and the inner elders teach Taoism. The fourth level can become an elite disciple, and the Supreme Elder personally teach disciples. The fifth level can become a true disciple, and you can choose the elders to teach Taoism and immortal arts. As for the sixth level behind, it seems that there is no one to pass the sixth level after the founder of the Lingzheng sect. Even if the contemporary leader of the Lingzheng sect has only passed the fifth level. Since then, no one has been able to pass the fifth level. The difficulty can be imagined."
After hearing the old man's words, the village chief's face suddenly changed.
At this time, I suddenly remembered the words of the county magistrate. No wonder he would ask Dahu to be the county magistrate's prince Shutong.
If Dahu had not helped the villagers with life-saving grace, he was very close. If the villagers had known that Lingzheng Sect had such difficulty in accepting disciples, they would have agreed to send Dahu to the county magistrate as a book boy.
The county magistrate did not know the closeness between Dahu and the villagers, nor did the villagers know the Lingzheng Sect's rules for recruiting disciples. However, the two sides coincided with this situation that was difficult for each other to accept.
When all the young and powerful heard this, they all looked ugly.
Only the big tiger and the children had no idea about the matter of the county magistrate. They were looking around, but they were shouting at these scenes that they had never seen before.
"What are you afraid of?" A young and strong man in the village laughed and said, "Dahu and our villagers have life-saving grace. If there is no Dahu, we either died of the wolf's mouth or died in the desert. To become disciples of the Lingzheng Sect, we naturally have to rely on the children to control themselves. If these children do not have the talent for cultivation, forcibly sending them to be servile disciples may not be a good thing."
The young and strong nodded repeatedly.
The village chief smiled bitterly, but the Taoist of God nodded with a smile, and the indescribable immortality,,,,,
"fraud."
"I fool the people."
