Vol 3 Chapter 24: Exterior doors

After three worships and nine knocks on the jade statue of Song Yan, the patriarch of the school, the ordinary middle-aged monk wearing the seven-star robes shouted again: "Every new disciple of the outer sect, pay homage to the head of the master Zhang Zhenren."
The real person here is not the meaning of the soul, but a convention formed in the cultivation world for so many years. The heads of the big sects are called real people, regardless of whether they have reached the soul.
However, Zhang Zhengyan, the master Zhang Zhengyan, is one of the most famous Yinshens in the realm of cultivation. According to the jade slip of "History of the Cultivation Realm", most Yinshens retreat to attack the soul, and are still active in front of the world. Among the Yinshens are the head of the Penglai Sect, the head of the Yingzhou Sect, and the leader of the You Ming Sect.
After the visit, the head with his long eyebrows down said to the dozens of outer disciples who were kneeling below: "You are considered to be in my Penglai school. Later, there will be the first Yongxiang of Zhanglu Hall to tell you about the sect. Precepts. The old Tao is here to babble, if the monks in the out-of-aperture period have at most two Jiazi’s lifespan, if they can’t break through the entrainment period and enter the inner door, they will leave to enjoy the luxury of the world at the latest after their body begins to decline in their eighties. But in fact, many outside disciples left the school in dismay at the age of 60 or 70. The old way said so much is to tell you, don't think that entering the school can make breakthroughs logically, and rely more on your own penance. "
Shi Xuan did not expect that the initiation ceremony for the outer disciples was so simple, and it was over after worshipping the patriarch and the head. Next, a young monk with a long body and a strong vigor stood up and talked about the precepts of the sect. This was the famous Wuhuijian.
There are many precepts of the sect, but in general, it is not to pass the exercises privately, not to deceive the master and destroy the ancestor, and not to harm the same sect.
After Yongxiang finished the sect precepts, the ordinary middle-aged monk wearing the seven-star Taoist robe stood up again and said peacefully: "Pan Tao is the first seat of the Zongmen General Affairs Hall, and the name of the spiritual star, although your general affairs will be the main It is under the jurisdiction of the elder of the general affairs of the outer gate, but if there is a dispute, you can also come to the poor road to appeal. The general affairs hall is on the side of the Tianshu Peak mountain."
All the outer disciples saluted in unison. Unexpectedly, this ordinary middle-aged monk was a spiritual star Taoist who was one of the six golden core masters of the Penglai School. He cultivated a middle-grade golden core.
Taoist Lingxing pointed to an old monk with white hair and white eyebrows wearing a red dragon robe and said: "This is the first Meng Li Meng Grandmaster of Tianquan Peak.
The new disciples also continued to salute, but Grandmaster Meng Li Meng responded rather arrogantly.
The Taoist Lingxing introduced the elders and the first ones in turn. The thin middle-aged Taoist is the first Yongxing on Yuheng Peak, and Mo Yuan is the first on Tianji Peak. A beautiful woman in a purple maid costume is actually the sixth largest. Yu Linglong, the head of the Grand Master, is the first elder of the Tianxuan Peak who also teaches the Fa.
The Kaiyang and Yaoguang Peaks do not have the first seat, and only two elders. Among them, Kaiyang Peak is the place to receive distinguished guests and hold the Fa conference, and the Yaoguang Peak is the first seat for the true disciples and inner disciples to listen to, and the elders preach and exchange ideas. The place.
After that, there are some inner sect elders, they are all the cultivation base of the soul stage.
The true biography disciples and inner disciples, the Taoist Lingxing did not introduce them one by one, so Shi Xuan only knew Xie Fangwei among the true biography disciples, and the rest were two men and one woman. The other true biography disciples wanted to come while traveling.
After the initiation ceremony, Shi Xuan and others were taken back to Jiaomu Peak in the Outer Twenty-Eight Peak, which is where the Outer Gate General Affairs Hall is located. When he came back, Shi Xuan heard Ming Qingyue talk about the strangeness of the Penglai School. The entire Penglai School had only three halls on the fourth floor. The three halls were the Foreign Affairs Hall, the General Affairs Hall, and the Zhanglu Hall. Planting elixir, mining ores, etc., are all classified as external or internal, respectively, and placed under the Waiwutang and Shuwutang, and there is no separate entrance to other sects. Li Jinkui, the first seat of the Foreign Affairs Hall, was in the Western Famine at this time and could not rush back.
The four buildings are: Tianya Haijiaolou-where the precious exercises and spells of the school are located; Ziqi Donglai Building-the treasure house of the school, with various precious magical instruments, spirit instruments, refining materials, and other treasures; Da Ri Puzhao Building-where the pill, elixir, and spirit stone are located; the Dragon and Tiger Interchange Building-integrates all the low-level things in the first three buildings, and is mainly aimed at outer disciples. The first three floors are on Tianshu Peak, and the Dragon-Tiger Interchange is on Jiaomu Peak.
Originally, Shi Xuan wanted to ask what the first seat of the four peaks meant. What rights do you have, but unfortunately the speed of Piercing the Cloud Boat is not slow, and it will soon reach Jiaomu Peak. Shi Xuan had to follow the new disciples into the main hall of the Outer Gate General Affairs Hall.
The elder of the Outer Sect General Affairs is a tall, fat, bald old man with the surname Cheng Mingping, who is in the spiritual stage of cultivation. At this moment, he is standing on the front stage and telling these new disciples about matters that the outer disciples should pay attention to.
"You are all monks with extraordinary aptitudes, but if you join my Penglai school, you must abide by the rules of my Penglai school. For outer disciples, this school will give you a bottle of soul condensing pill every month and a low-grade spirit stone. Fifty. At the same time, new beginner disciples can choose a jade slip for free, but there are also requirements. You must complete one task assigned by the sect every month. If you want more pills and jade slips for spells , Even magical artifacts, then you need to take more sect quests, accumulate good deeds, and redeem them yourself. This good deeds list is in the good deeds room on the left hand of the General Affairs Hall."
Elder Cheng Ping paused and continued: "New entry disciples, I will give you a storage bag next time, inside it is a black outer door robe, a bottle of soul condensing pill, fifty low-grade spirit stones, this school One good jade slip and one low-grade dharma tool, a blue steel sword. Every five days in the future, at the summit of Shenshui Peak, there will be a leader, elder, true disciple or inner disciple who will come to preach and preach the Fa. You can ask them for questions about Taoism at that time, so be sure to remember. Also, after you choose the Dongfu or Palace, the surrounding medicinal fields belong to you, and you can grow the elixir you need."
After Elder Cheng Ping finished speaking, the outer deacon who was waiting there or the outer disciple who had received good deeds sent storage bags to Shi Xuan and the others.
Shi Xuan penetrated into his spiritual thoughts, and the things inside were indeed as described by Elder Cheng Ping. Then the new disciples were taken to the Dragon-Tiger Interchange Building by the deacon of the outer door, and everyone could choose a jade slip of the exercise technique.
The Dragon-Tiger Interchange Building has three floors, the first floor is exercise books, etc., the second floor is medicine, and the third floor is magical instruments and materials. After the disciples picked the jade slip on the first floor, they gave it to the deacon in the building, and they copied a piece of jade slip to the disciples.
The first floor is very large. Eighty disciples from the outer sect are scattered in it, and there is not even a feeling of splashing. There is often only one disciple in front of a bookshelf to choose.
Shi Xuan thought about it before he came in. Originally wanted to learn a bit about the art of imperial swords, swordsmanship, and so on. After all, his Vientiane Shadowless Sword had to be sacrificed without the corresponding swordsmanship, but now the most important thing is to choose A wind belongs to the exercise method to conceal it, at least before you learn the "Heaven and Earth Liuhe Shenfeng True Explanation". The skill of the sword can only be selected after the accumulation of good works.
After making a decision, Shi Xuan moved quickly. According to the classification, he found the bookshelves where the wind genus exercises, spells, swordsmanship, formations, etc. were located, and planned to pick a better one, although he had "The Treasure Record" is out, but the stones of other mountains can be used for jade, and there is a better exercise to compare and see, the cultivation effect will be better.
Shi Xuan slowly looked at the names and introductions of these jade slips of "Guangfeng Dafa", "Soul Devouring Yinfeng Gong" and "Yufeng Jue". Suddenly Shi Xuan's eyes lit up and he found a door called "Six Wind Swords". "True Jue", the name seems to be swordsmanship, but it is placed on the side of Gongfa.
Picking up this jade slip, Shi Xuan revealed his spirit and looked at the specific introduction inside. These jade slips are forbidden. You can only see the specific introduction. If you want to learn, you have to get it to the deacon's office and copy it to other jade slips in order to watch them completely.
This technique is indeed as expected by Shi Xuan. It is a technique that combines sword technique and technique. Before learning each sword technique, one must first visualize the sword power, cut off the yin wind in the heart, and cultivate the soul. . However, according to the conclusion on the jade slip, the sword technique is good, but the training of the soul is not effective. After all, the soul of the low-level monks is still nourishing and exercising, so this technique is placed in the dragon and tiger intersection building.
But for Shi Xuan, this was not a problem at all. He didn't rely on this practice, but just played a cover up. In addition, Shi Xuan was very satisfied with the fact that the six-way swordsmanship of "Zhanfeng Six Swords True Art" could be regarded as one of the best in the real world of Nuo Da. Learn this, cooperate with Vientiane Shadowless Sword, and have another means of self-protection.
After taking the jade slip, Shi Xuan walked to the entrance of the first floor, and gave it to the deacon Xiao Wannian at the same time. At the same time, he also handed the jade slip of his own good deeds to him, and asked him to make notes on it, indicating that Shi Xuan was The new disciple of the outer sect has received a practice.
After getting Shi Xuan's good deeds jade slips, Xiao Wanyoung gave a light hey, then looked at Shi Xuan with a strange expression and complicated eyes. Shi Xuan felt that there was something pitiful and sympathetic in it, and couldn't help but wonder if Meng Yutang had already passed the idea of ​​revenge to some people outside the door?
While waiting for Xiao Wannian to copy the jade slip, Yu Ruoshui came over with the jade slip, and when he saw Shi Xuan, he smiled and said hello: "According to the introduction on the good jade slip, you have to call me Sister Yu Up."
Shi Xuan hadn't had time to read the jade slips of good works. It was said that there was some common sense of the sect on it, so he had to smile perfunctorily: "Which technique did you choose?"
Yu Ruoshui showed the jade slip to Shi Xuan: "Nuo, "Thirty-six Ways of Swordsmanship by the Day", my own practice is not bad, there is no need to change it before entering the inner door, so I chose the door sword. law."
Shi Xuan took the jade slip of his practice technique and smiled and said to Yu Ruoshui, "I'm also a swordsman." It's hard to stop chatting here, Shi Xuan left and waited outside.
While waiting outside, Shi Xuan met Ming Qingyue, Zhou Dielan, and Zhang Haiping one after another, and chatted with them respectively. Ming Qingyue chose the gate formation-"Overturning the River and Down the Sea", Zhou Dielan chose one. Menshui belongs to the exercise method-"Soft Water Jue", Zhang Haiping chose the gate fire exercise method-"Rock Fire Shen Gong".
Then a few outside deacons took Shi Xuan and the others to visit the Xia Shan Gong Fang. This is a large hall with clear light on several walls, showing that there are tasks that can be taken, including metal smelting, medical care, and Some of these missions are issued by the sect, some are issued by the first seat and the elder, and some are issued by the disciples themselves. Among them, the highest task of good works is to perfect the "Shenxiao Zhenfa" issued by the Zongmen, but for the outer disciples who have never seen the Zhenpai exercises before, this is a floating cloud.
After that, he chose the cave mansion and the palace. Shi Xuan chose the sunny temple of the sun at the peak of Xiangyang Mountain, and obtained the jade pendant that controls the formation.
When sending the Outer Sect disciples back to Xu Rifeng and Xinyue Peak, the Outer Sect deacons announced that in the first month, Shi Xuan and the others only need to be familiar with the sect and concentrate on cultivation, and do not have to accept the tasks assigned by the sect.
The next chapter is tomorrow night. .
