After the two sisters came to visit, another four or five days passed.
On this day, during breakfast, Ye Xiaoye found a small wooden sign with a tie next to the dinner plate, and a piece of paper underneath the small wooden sign.
"Information to the disciples of the Ninth Peak, tomorrow there will be a lecture by a senior at the teaching platform. Those who are interested in listening can go there with a wooden sign after dinner."
After the meal, Ye Xiaoye left the small courtyard directly and went to Tai Cangyue and Ji Feiyan.
What comes and goes!
Their small courtyards are on one side, which saves Ye Xiaoye from having to run to both sides.
After meeting the two of them, Ye Xiaoye didn't say much. He just walked around in their yard, and then made an appointment to go to the teaching platform together tomorrow.
The location of the teaching platform is known to the three of them. Just like the school dormitories, canteens, and classrooms, it is an important coordinate point, or base, that every student will know on the first day of school.
The next day, on the way to the teaching platform, after leaving the area where the three of them lived, they met other people back and forth.
Some were about the same age as them, all in their teens, others in their twenties, thirties and forties, and even occasionally, they met a few old people.
Three old men who were also part of a three-person team walked together, especially one of them who was holding a small wooden sign in his hand. This made Ye Xiaoye and the three of them couldn't help but exchange glances.
No way?
These three "seniors" are not seniors but senior brothers?
After the three old men walked away, Ye Xiaoye asked Ji Feiyan in a low voice, "Junior sister Guangru, you are the most discerning, can you tell what the cultivation level of the three of them is?"
"Taller than you anyway!"
Ji Feiyan seemed to have a stress reaction from Ye Xiaoye, and she just rolled her eyes at him, and then returned to the normal conversation mode: "Yueyue, I'm not sure, what do you think?"
"Sister Yan, are their cultivation levels about the same as ours?" Tai Cang Yue said, "I can't tell you exactly, but I guess it's the one on the left who has the highest cultivation level? His cultivation level may be higher than mine."
Just mentioning this one basically means that the other two are lower in cultivation than her.
"The one on the right may have a higher level of cultivation than me." Ji Feiyan said.
"Yes, according to what you said, the cultivation level of the three of them may be higher than mine?" Ye Xiaoye said, "Anyway, I look very powerful in the middle, I may not be able to beat him!"
"Hey, Junior Brother Guangling, aren't you capable of beating ten of them? Why can't you beat just one now?"
Needless to say, I knew that these must be Ji Feiyan's words.
Ye Xiaoye did not reply to her words, but protested differently, "Why are you both the elder sister and younger sister, but when you come to me, you are Junior Brother Guangling?"
"You can be a sister, too!" Ji Feiyan smiled rarely, "Tell me, do you want to be a sister or a sister?"
I'm going!
Ye Xiaoye rolled his eyes to the sky.
Tai Cangyue was laughing on the side and did not comfort Ye Xiaoye.
Just talking, laughing, and making noises, generally walking diagonally upwards, the three of them saw the Dharma transmission platform after walking for almost twenty miles.
When we got here, there were already a lot of people.
If you look around casually, you'll see dozens of them.
Most of them were boys and girls in their teens, some were in their twenties and thirties, some were in their forties or fifties, and among the older ones, there were only three in sight, which they had met on the road before.
of three.
The small courtyard of Ye Xiaoye and the others is at the foot of the mountain, and this place is already on the mountainside, although it is still close to the foot of the mountain.
On the mountainside, a platform has been opened that can accommodate about a thousand people loosely. It is quite large. On the side of the platform against the mountain, there is a high platform.
It's basically like a teacher's podium, except it's much larger.
All the visitors came to the platform, and people continued to join.
Someone may have arrived late, but this possibility is not very high. The greater possibility is that someone has a longer way to go.
Looking at it this way, the location of Ye Xiaoye and the three of them in the small courtyard is quite prioritized.
At least this is the case compared to the Dharma transmission platform.
Slowly, fewer and fewer people continued to arrive, until it was nearly tea time when no one came again.
At this time, looking around, there were about three to four hundred people on the platform.
They may be in pairs facing each other, or in groups of three or five, or in groups of seventy or eighty, but the largest group is probably only about ten people, and there is no phenomenon of dozens of people gathering together.
There is little communication between each small group.
Just like now, Ye Xiaoye and the three of them were standing together. They neither went to talk to anyone else, nor did anyone else come to them.
There is some exchange of sight between each other.
Well, basically smiling and friendly and curious.
There are also some people who are expressionless.
The classroom was generally quiet, with only occasional voices heard, unlike those classrooms where the teacher would be turned upside down without a teacher.
Then, at a certain point in time, "relatively quiet" turned into "extremely quiet" in just two or three breaths.
It's a bit exaggerated to say that you can hear a pin drop to the ground, but anyone's cough here, in this kind of silence, can probably be heard throughout the whole place.
The figures and sights of everyone on the stage were no longer scattered, and they were all facing the direction of the high platform respectfully.
On the high platform, just now, there was an additional young man.
Although he looks like a boy, everyone in the venue should know that this guy just looks like a boy.
"Greetings, senior!"
Closer to the front of the high platform, many people bowed and worshiped.
This behavior quickly spread to everyone on the high platform, including Ye Xiaoye and the three of them, who all followed suit and made the same move.
"Greetings, senior!"
Then, the venue returned to extreme silence again.
"Okay, today's lecture begins." The young man started teaching directly without any nonsense.
The boy is standing.
Everyone below was also standing.
"The law is born according to the Tao, and the Tao is developed by the law. If there is no Tao, there will be no Dharma. If there is no way, there will be no Tao."
"I, the Lingxiao Sect, take purity as the Dharma and purity as the Tao."
"Therefore, purity is the Dharma and the Tao."
"Therefore, the Purity Sutra, the introductory chapter of this sect, is both the introduction and the purpose; it is the foundation, but also the branches and leaves; it is the key, but also the ordinary."
"All disciples, let's begin by reciting the Purity Chapter!"
Following the young man's instructions, three to four hundred voices sounded loudly on the platform.
No one unified the rhythm, but everyone was fine-tuning their own rhythm, so that soon, all the sounds in the field converged into the same pace.
It's obviously not a very loud sound, but it has a sense of sound that stops the moving clouds.
After the reading ended, the place instantly returned to extreme silence.
A kind of solemnity and solemnity came out of nothing, and entered the consciousness of everyone present, and vaguely connected everyone together.
At this time, on the high platform, the young man began to speak again:
"What is Ling Xiao?"
"It's like climbing a mountain, starting from the foot of the mountain and climbing to the top of the mountain step by step. As you look down, the earth is below and the sky is above. We are in the middle, which is called Lingxiao."
"That's why, when you join our Lingxiao Sect, you should have the spirit of Lingxiao."
"However, mountains are high and low, and the journey is difficult and easy."
"A hundred feet is definitely a mountain, a hundred feet is also a mountain, and even thousands of feet are also mountains."
"The visible is a mountain, and the invisible is also a mountain."
"The road to the visible mountain is called the ladder; the road to the invisible mountain is called the door of dharma."
"There is no ladder in the world, but it is people who created it; there is no way in the world, it is people who created it."
"How to open the stairs?"
"Yishan."
"How to open a Dharma door?"
"Yatao."
"Today, I will take the Purity Chapter as my guide and try to open various Dharma doors for you."
When the young man said this, everyone in the field felt as if they were on the ice, and their bodies seemed to be constantly changing positions on the ice as if being blown by the breeze.
The next moment, everyone was shocked to find that they had all been broken up from the original gathering, and each of them stood neatly in rows and columns at the same distance.
Then, the ground beneath everyone's feet gradually rose, and then condensed into a small round platform about knee-high.
Everyone stood on this small round platform about three feet wide.
Ye Xiaoye lowered his head and looked down. On the round stone surface at his feet, between his feet, there was a sunken number surrounded by a small circle.
"Three hundred and eighty-three".
He looked to the left, "Three hundred and eighty-two", and to the right, "Three hundred and eighty-one."
Looking from the front, "three hundred and thirty-three".
Looking from behind, uh...
There is no one behind, they are in the last row.
Is this the ranking of each person’s cultivation level in the field?
Most likely.
Judging from the current results, it is not very optimistic.
Suddenly, a scene like this appeared:
"The test results came out today. I'm last. What about you?"
"I'm better than you, second to last."
...
If this number is really the cultivation level of everyone in the field, then Ye Xiaoye is not the last one.
