Although Sikong Sheng and other "one-eyed men" were strong and naturally good at fighting, they were still just mortals. They didn't even notice that Liang Yan didn't stay in the grotto, but secretly followed him out.
After only half a cup of tea, all the elders of Cangliu Kingdom had gathered at the entrance of the valley. Following Sikong Sheng's order, the tall city gates slowly opened to both sides.
Liang Yan was also mixed in the crowd at this time. He used the "Yuanmu Dao" spell to hide himself and looked outside the valley.
I saw two people standing side by side outside the city gate.
One of them was tall, round-headed, and kind-hearted, like the haired Maitreya in the temple, with an affable appearance.
The other person was a skinny old man with protruding cheekbones and gray hair. He looked a little gloomy. He lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, not even looking at the crowd.
Liang Yan looked at the two people carefully and felt something strange, but he couldn't tell what the specific strangeness was.
That is, when he was secretly observing, Sikong Sheng had already led a group of Cangliu people out of the valley, bowed to the two of them and said: "Sikong Sheng, the leader of Cangliu Kingdom, welcomes the two immortals!"
"Haha, the old king is too polite."
The fat middle-aged man chuckled and said: "It's just a matter of routine for us. If you in Cangliu Country really have good seeds for cultivation, our Xuan Shuang Sect will definitely cultivate them."
After hearing this, Sikong Sheng's face lit up and he thought to himself: "Xuanshuang Sect's Immortal History in the past years has always been indifferent, so why is it so enthusiastic this year? Could it be that the group of children who were sent away three years ago were successful in cultivation, and together with them
Has the status of our Cangliu Kingdom also improved?"
After some thought in his mind, he smiled and said: "The two immortals have come a long way, so why not come to my house to rest for a while, and then I can bring the children for you to choose from."
"No!"
The fat middle-aged man waved his hand and said, "I have many places to go, so I really don't have time to delay."
"In that case. Then I will bring some of the children I selected earlier here to show to the Immortal History."
Before Sikong Sheng finished speaking, he was interrupted again by the fat middle-aged man with a smile:
"Haha, old king, you don't know that the Cangliu Kingdom is blessed."
He looked around at everyone, and suddenly said loudly: "Starting from this year, our Xuan Shuang Sect has decided to open its doors to everyone, teaching everyone without distinction! All boys and girls under the age of fifteen and over five can be admitted to our sect.
You just have to start from the lowest level as a handyman disciple. Whether you can seek immortality or not depends on your own destiny."
"What?!"
Sikong Sheng was slightly startled at first, and then his face showed a look of surprise.
You must know that their "One Eye Clan" is nothing more than a tribe of barbarians in the eyes of the big cultivators. Over the years, they occasionally come to recruit a few disciples, but that is just a show, and it is regarded as a special favor.
The immortals of the Xuanshuang Sect in the past have never looked at them directly. They all looked aloof and seemed to want to leave this place immediately.
However, this year, this immortal historian not only had a kind attitude, but also said that he would open the gates of the temple and recruit a large number of disciples. How could this not make him excited?
Sikong Sheng laughed and immediately ordered his men to go to the valley and bring out all the boys and girls who met the requirements.
After about a cup of tea, I saw a group of boys and girls around ten years old filing out of the valley.
There are hundreds of these young men and women. The oldest is nearly fifteen and already quite mature, while the youngest is only five or six years old. He is still biting his nails and looks ignorant.
Liang Yan couldn't help but frown slightly when he saw this scene.
You must know that cultivating immortals and seeking the Tao is an extremely difficult matter. Although the rules for recruiting disciples are different among major sects, it is absolutely not like this. They don't even investigate their spiritual roots and character, and just accept them all.
However, although he had doubts in his heart, this place was the Antarctic Fairy Continent after all, and he didn't know whether the common sense in the past could still be used here, so he did not rush to show up, but chose to continue to wait and see.
As all the boys and girls from Cangliu Kingdom gathered at the entrance of the valley, the fat middle-aged man also smiled, showing an amiable look.
"Okay, okay! Ding Xingwang is a member of the Cangliu country, and these children have good talents. It seems that our two brothers and sisters did not come here in vain this time."
As he spoke, he bumped his companion with his arm.
The skinny man had not looked at anyone since just now. When he was reminded by his companions, he reluctantly raised his head and said with a sinister smile:
"It's good, but cultivating immortals and seeking Taoism is a bumpy road. Their journey can take as long as ten years, or as long as hundreds of years. You Cangliu Nation won't be reluctant to part with it, right?"
Sikong Sheng was slightly stunned when he heard this, but the next moment, he quickly apologized and said with a smile:
"The two immortal historians were joking. It is a great blessing for us, a small barbarian country, to be protected by the Xuanshuang Sect. These yellow-mouthed children can follow the immortal leader, which is also a blessing they have cultivated for several generations.
!”
"Hahaha!"
The fat middle-aged man laughed and said: "Old Lord Sikong is indeed a sensible person. In this case, let's set off!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and shook it, and saw a golden gong flying out of his sleeve, spinning around in the air, and then released hundreds of golden lights, each of which caught a boy from the Cangliu Kingdom.
, and finally everything was collected into the gong.
"this"
After Sikong Sheng and other Cangliu people saw it, they couldn't help but frown slightly. You must know that in the past, when Xuan Shuang Sect came here to recruit disciples, they always took the disciples away in the clouds and mist. Never before have they used magical weapons to recruit them like this.
precedent.
The fat middle-aged man seemed to have noticed everyone's doubts, and immediately explained with a smile: "Don't be surprised, everyone, we have recruited many disciples this time, and time is extremely tight, so we can only wrong those children and temporarily stay in my magic weapon.
How many days have you been staying?”
After he said this, he raised his hand and put the golden gong in mid-air into his sleeve. Then he smiled slightly at the Cangliu people and said, "Please come back. Ten years later, if these children can make some progress in their practice,
If Xiaocheng is successful, he will naturally be allowed to return to his hometown to visit relatives."
After hearing this, Sikong Sheng looked at the people around him and seemed to be hesitant to speak, but in the end he didn't say anything more and just said in unison: "Congratulations to the two immortals!"
The fat middle-aged man and the skinny old man laughed, said nothing, and wanted to leave with a flash of light under their feet.
However, at this moment, a voice sounded from behind them:
"Wait!"
The voice was sudden and a little childish, which made everyone present slightly startled. The fat middle-aged man and the skinny old man turned their heads at the same time, only to find that there was an extra person behind them.
This person is a girl, who looks less than ten years old. Her hair is in double braids and she is wearing an emerald green coat. She is standing proudly behind the two of them with her hands on her hips.
"You two guys, even if they are greedy, you actually dare to find this place. Don't you know this is my little Songzhao's territory?"
