Chapter 5: Capital crimes can be avoided, living crimes cannot escape
If it is detected that he has false spiritual roots, the best result would be to be expelled from the school.
In serious cases, you may even be killed on the spot.
After all, if you become a formal disciple, it is equivalent to entering the realm of immortality, which is a higher existence than the emperor in the secular world.
Deceiving the sect with fake spiritual roots is tantamount to deceiving God and will be punished by God.
"Well... put both hands on it and try it."
Elder Taihe looked at Zhou Qi suspiciously, wondering what he was thinking.
But when everyone saw that Zhou Qi put his hands up and still didn't respond, disappointment suddenly appeared on everyone's faces.
"Hahahaha... I'm laughing so hard."
When Song Shujian saw this scene outside the main hall, his expression was extremely exciting.
He curled his lips mockingly, "Huh, it's such a waste of the sect's resources to pick up an idiot after traveling thousands of miles. Let's go!"
Song Shujian's voice was not loud, but Chu Xinglan and others really heard it, and it was obvious that he did not cover it up deliberately.
With all kinds of feelings in his heart, Chu Xinglan still didn't want to believe that this was true.
"Elder Taihe, is it possible that there is something wrong with the stone tablet? I..."
Before he could finish speaking, the elder waved his hand and sat back on the futon.
"This stone tablet was forged by Piao Miao Taoist, the founder of the Piao Miao Sect, and it has never had any problems. As you can see, this person has indeed awakened his spiritual roots, but he is only the lowest level of human beings.
His character is just a little better than ordinary people. Let me think about how to arrange him..."
Elder Taihe closed his eyes slightly, unable to tell what his expression was.
Chu Xinglan's face was full of disappointment. He originally had high hopes for Zhou Qi, but he didn't expect it to end like this.
But at the same time, I also felt very pitiful for Zhou Qi.
They all saw with their own eyes what Zhou Qi went through, and his life experience was extremely miserable.
If the sect really wanted to expel him, or to rectify the law on the spot, it would be too unkind.
It's just that she has no expression on her face, and few things seem to make her excited.
"Well, considering that you traveled thousands of miles to bring him, and besides, this kid does have spiritual roots, but they are just the lowest spiritual roots, I can give you a chance. Boy, you have two choices now, one is
Drive out of the outer world and return to the place where you should have been. The other is to go to the back mountain to accumulate the sect's contribution and participate in the Piaomiao Martial Arts Competition five years later."
"Remember, if you choose the second path and fail the assessment in the end, you may not end well."
"Think about it carefully!"
After Elder Taihe finished speaking, he sat upright with his hands in a seal, as if there was nothing else worthy of his attention.
He originally thought it would be a Xuanpin spiritual root, but it turned out to have the prefix "human", which made him feel disappointed.
Chu Xinglan hesitated for a moment, and was about to remind Zhou Qi, but in the end he did not speak.
After all, this was a matter of life and death, and he still had to make his own decision.
"It's true."
Zhou Qidao is more accepting than others, after all, he knows his own situation.
But what he didn't expect was that he would still have the chance to stay. This was the blessing among misfortunes.
"I dare to ask Elder Taihe, if I can pass the Piaomiao Huiwu in five years, can I enter Yunding Peak to practice?"
After pondering for a long time, Zhou Qi raised his head.
"Of course it's okay." Elder Taihe said calmly without opening his eyes.
"Okay, then I choose to practice in the back mountains and compete for immortality!"
Zhou Qi's voice was not loud, but his seemingly weak body was as tall and straight as a pine or cypress.
Chu Xinglan was moved. He didn't expect Zhou Qi to choose this most difficult path.
In his opinion, if you go down the mountain and leave, you can at least survive. But if you fail the Huiwu test, life will be worse than death.
It seems that in Xiao Zhou Qi's seemingly poor life experience, there is a pride hidden in him that is unwilling to accept his fate.
Even Tantai Mo couldn't help but frown slightly, feeling rather surprised.
But he quickly returned to his usual cold expression, still unsmiling.
"Okay! In this case, you must have your own consciousness. You brought Chu Xinglan, Tantai Mo, and the people here. You should also know what to do next. You should go to Hongdao Hall!"
Upon hearing this, Elder Taihe also glanced at Zhou Qi a few more times, then waved his hand, and several people flew out of the hall.
"Xiao Zhou Qi, you are so stubborn that you actually chose this path..."
Chu Xinglan sighed and shook his head, "But the matter has come to this, and there is no chance to regret it. Let's go, we will go to Hongdao Hall and submit your name. You will have to work hard in the next five years.
.”
Zhou Qi nodded vigorously, "Senior brother, senior sister, please don't worry, I understand how you treat me."
On the way, Chu Xinglan also explained to Zhou Qi what needed to be done next.
The so-called going to the back mountains to practice and gain experience is actually just doing some chores to accumulate "Hongdao Jiaozi".
Hongdao Jiaozi is a symbol of contribution to the sect. It is similar to paper money in the secular world and can be used daily.
"That is to say, after five years you will not only have to participate in the Miao Miao Hui Wu Hui, go to the assessment trial, but also accumulate a certain number of Hongdao Jiaozi, which we generally call Hongdao coins. There are many chores in the back mountains that you don't have time to practice at all. What errands?
It depends on your luck."
While talking, Chu Xinglan and Tantaimo brought Zhou Qi to Hongdao Hall.
They handled the relevant matters with ease and were just waiting for the elders in the temple to arrange specific things for him to do.
"Well... now it seems that the only thing left is the mining of spiritual vein crystals, so why not let him go there."
An old elder said that he was about to leave a mark on the jade slip.
"Wait a minute."
Tantai Mo hesitated for a moment, "Elder, are you still short of manpower to raise spiritual birds?"
The elder was stunned for a moment and frowned in embarrassment, "Well... you know, many people..."
"I remember you said before that you needed a three-talented grass. I happen to have it in hand. How about making it easier?"
Tantai Mo said, then handed over a brocade box and presented it to the elder.
The latter quickly opened it to confirm, then immediately closed the box and looked at her in surprise:
"You want to use this three-talented grass in exchange? Are you sure?"
Even Chu Xinglan couldn't help but say, "Junior sister Tantai, what are you..."
Tantai Mo waved his hand, "Elder, what do you think?"
"Since it is you, Tantai Mo, who begs for mercy, I will naturally not refuse. Anyway, there is a shortage of manpower to raise spiritual birds, so let this boy do it. Take these corresponding identity tokens."
