Chapter 268 Inquiry
Khan, I was suddenly notified to go to the countryside in the morning, so this chapter is a little late. Sorry.
Normal at night.
****
When Ling Xiao was a small disciple of the Foundation Establishment stage, Wu Ban, Qing Bozi, and two Jindan stage elders from the Southern Lineage appeared one after another.
Suddenly, the whole atmosphere quietly became weird.
Although Ling Xiao is not a slick and good at interacting with people, he has been in the East Channel of Wanxiang Sect for many years and is famous for his "talent". He is one of the most promising disciples to form an elixir. Therefore, he wants to worship Elder Qiu Wankong.
As a teacher, of course there will be many disciples in the East Channel of Wanxiang Sect who will come to support me.
Originally, these disciples did not attach much importance to this apprenticeship. No matter who wanted to come, it would be just a formality. The main reason they came here was to form a good relationship with Ling Xiao.
However, with the appearance of Wu Ban and Qing Bozi, everyone immediately noticed the strangeness of the atmosphere...
Is it possible that something unexpected is really going to happen?
Many people were secretly exchanging looks and thoughts with each other.
And the matter was far from over. Shortly after Wu was relegated and Uncle Qing arrived, several other great monks from the Golden Core Stage came to visit——
Shan Jiake, the master of the Diling Palace, and his two elders of the Diling Palace; Bai Gusou, a very famous Jindan cultivator near the south line of Wanxiang Gate; Ao Yun, Ao Yu, Ao brothers, Wanxiang
Near the Mendongmai, there is a high-status cultivating family, the two heads of the Ao family...
Counting on one's fingers, there are actually over twenty golden elixir stage monks here! The scope even involves two of the four branches of the Wanxiang Sect, the surrounding casual cultivators, families, and the people in the black swamp.
power.
The number of people and the scale are even greater than the last time Feng He formed a golden elixir and was given a Taoist title.
Qinghezi, Elder Qiu Wankong, Feng He, etc., although they were all confused in their hearts, since the other party was coming, of course they couldn't turn them away. They could only take one step at a time and wait and see.
However, when they saw Shanjia Ke and the other two elders of Diling Palace, Qiu Wankong, Ling Xiao and others who were familiar with the inside story couldn't help but feel a little frightened in their hearts, and couldn't help but feel secretly wary. I was afraid that they,
The person who came here is not a good person. A small apprenticeship ceremony for foundation-building disciples is usually just a formality. How come it was Ling Xiao's turn to cause such a big disturbance?
…
Seeing that it was approaching noon, Qinghezi smiled at Uncle Qing and said, "Senior brother, it's almost time, shall we start now?"
Uncle Qing nodded obediently and did not answer.
Wu Ban, who was sitting next to him, was also silent as usual.
Qinghezi would ask Uncle Qing, just to show his respect for him. In fact, the four lines are relatively independent of each other, such as true disciples becoming disciples. Generally speaking, the four lines do not interfere with each other.
So Qinghezi straightened his body, and after nodding to Qiu Wankong, his eyes turned to Ling Xiao, "Fu Yi, come forward and talk."
Ling Xiao quickly approached from behind and bowed respectfully to say hello.
Qinghezi was seen sitting in the middle. On either side of him were Qingweizi and Qingyinzi. It seemed that it was the three of them who were questioning Ling Xiao, which was not beyond Ling Xiao's expectation.
Qinghezi's face was upright, neither happy nor angry; Qingweizi still had a dull look on his face, his head slightly lowered and said nothing. But Qingyinzi sat next to Qingweizi with a smile, looking around with beautiful eyes, and inadvertently revealed a myriad of emotions.
Seeing Ling Xiao approaching, he smiled at him as if to encourage him.
Qing Weizi and Qing Yinzi rarely show up together, so this is only the first time Ling Xiao sees them.
But seeing that although Qing Weizi had no expression, he occasionally raised his head and looked at Ling Xiao with kindness in his eyes; Qing Yinzi even smiled to express his relief.
Obviously, neither of them meant to embarrass Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao couldn't help but feel more relieved.
Then the questioning of the sect elders officially began.
Qinghezi spoke first, and after admonishing Ling Xiao for a few words, he was ready to turn to the topic. Ling Xiao also gathered his thoughts and carefully prepared to deal with it.
But at this moment, Uncle Qing on the side suddenly said: "Slow down!" There was also a coldness in his voice.
Qinghezi couldn't help but frown slightly and looked at Uncle Qing, "Senior Brother, what do you have to say?"
Uncle Qing said calmly, "I don't dare. I just think that if only you three elders inquire about such a solemn sect matter, it would seem a little less formal. If Junior Brother Qinghezi doesn't give up, I and I will
Junior Brother Qingbanzi is willing to participate in this inquiry together."
Qiu Wankong's face couldn't help but change. He had long thought that Qing Bozi and Wu Ban were coming in a strange way. Sure enough, at this critical moment, the two of them were about to forcefully intervene.
Fang Han on the side couldn't help but show a look of astonishment, obviously not knowing anything about this. However, although she was also an elder of the Southern Meridian, her cultivation and qualifications were still too low, so of course she had no one to speak at this time.
room.
Qinghezi was slightly startled, and couldn't help but said: "Brother Qingbozi, this, I'm afraid, is a little out of order, isn't it?"
Qing Bozi asked: "How can you not follow the rules?"
Qinghezi was immediately speechless.
The sect's long-standing rule is that when a sect's Jindan elder wants to accept a disciple as a true disciple, at least three sect elders must inquire about that disciple. The key point is to think
It is necessary to investigate some basic information such as the disciple's background, sense of belonging to the sect, talent for cultivation, future potential, etc.
There are at least three sect elders, which naturally means that three or more are also allowed; and there is also no rule that elders from other sects cannot participate in the inquiry.
Although this form of questioning has gradually become like a formality. But if Uncle Qing insists on insisting on insisting and participating forcefully, others will really not be able to fault him at all.
So Qinghezi and Qiu Wankong had no choice but to agree after exchanging glances.
After this incident, the inquiry continued.
The number of elders who were questioned, including the three at the beginning, has now become five, including five elders from the East Meridian and the Southern Meridian.
Speaking of which, regardless of anything else, the scale of this inquiry against Ling Xiao is already the largest in the Wanxiang Sect in decades.
Qinghezi, Qiu Wankong, Feng He and others are all a little strange and confused in their hearts. But if they are really worried, they are actually not too much. As long as Ling Xiao himself has no problem, then even with Uncle Qing's
Strong, even with the strength of the Southern Meridian, there would never be any way to stop Ling Xiao from becoming a disciple.
After all, the four branches are of the same branch. If Uncle Qing is unreasonable, he will only arouse the common opposition of the other three branches.
What's more, wouldn't the Southern Meridian accept true disciples? If the Eastern Meridian did the same thing, wouldn't anyone be able to accept a disciple?
Only Ling Xiao's heart suddenly raised...
But no matter what, the questioning finally started.
The main person asking questions was Elder Qinghezi, and Elder Qingyinzi would interject from time to time. The remaining three, Qingweizi, Qingbozi, and Wu Ban, rarely spoke.
However, Qing Weizi was relegated because of his dull temperament; Qing Bozi and Wu were relegated, but we don’t know why.
Of course, the silence between them also made Qinghezi, Qiu Wankong and others feel more relieved. Although they didn't know what the other party meant, as long as they abide by the basic rules, it would be fine.
Of course, Qinghezi and Qingyinzi would not make things difficult for Ling Xiao, and most of the questions they asked were extremely common questions.
Ling Xiao had naturally prepared all of this. However, because Uncle Qing and Elder Wu Ban were here, Ling Xiao was wary, so he carefully said the answer he had thought about long ago. He must deduce all the key points before and after.
Be clear and leave no loopholes.
The inquiry went on smoothly and finally came to an end.
Qinghezi finished his questioning, looked around, and then asked with a slight smile: "Brothers, do you have anything else to ask?"
This was just a polite statement, and Qing Weizi and Qing Yinzi both shook their heads and said no.
But just when Qinghezi was about to announce the end, Uncle Qing's voice suddenly sounded, "Wait a minute, I have something to ask!"
Ling Xiao couldn't help but feel nervous.
The expressions of Qiu Wankong, Feng He and others could not help but change slightly.
But as Uncle Qing, he has already spoken, who can stop him?
So Qinghezi on the side had no choice but to say: "Brother Qingbozi, please excuse me. Although Fu Yi is the best among our Dongmai disciples and has been taken by Junior Brother Qiu for a while, after all, he is only a foundation-building period disciple.
Disciple, senior brother, please don’t make things too difficult for him.”
His words were naturally a tactful reminder to Uncle Qing not to go too far.
Uncle Qing only responded lightly, "I understand."
Qinghezi didn't know what he meant, so he had to keep silent and wait for him to ask.
I saw Uncle Qing's eyes resting on Ling Xiao without any emotion, which only made the latter feel a chill in his heart. Then Uncle Qing slowly spoke... (To be continued. If you like this work,
