Chapter 1278 Opening the Sky Ladder
Those who go outside are people with less power, and the same goes outside.
When they came to the most marginal area, they were all ordinary cultivators, and many of them even had haggard faces and shabby clothes. They looked like poor children.
In comparison, the appearance of Xue An and Xing Yushu did not attract anyone's attention.
Because everyone focused their attention on the high platform in the distance.
At this moment, I saw an auspicious cloud descending from the sky and landed directly on the high platform.
When the cloud shadow dispersed, it was a middle-aged man wearing a gold-rimmed Taoist uniform with high spirits, but there was an unconcealable arrogance in the corners of his eyes and brows.
And behind him, there are several Taoist maids with respectful expressions.
With such an aura, the man attracted the attention of the audience as soon as he appeared on the stage.
Then there was a slight commotion in the crowd, and people began to whisper and discuss.
"Hiss, the opening ceremony of the Golden Cauldron Pavilion was actually presided over by Elder Ciyun himself?"
"That's right! In previous years, we only sent out a true disciple of the inner sect, but this time we actually sent an elder. It seems that this mountain opening ceremony is extraordinary!"
While people were discussing in whispers, this Elder Ciyun showed a bright face, and then said with a smile: "The opening ceremony of the Jinding Pavilion once every ten years should be held tomorrow, and everyone has come from afar, so everyone should have a rest for a day. , but the sect leader had a feeling, so he changed it to today, and I, Ciyun, will personally preside over it!"
The voice was as clear and clear as the cry of a crane, spreading in all directions, and instantly suppressed the noise of the crowd.
Many people looked in awe, not to mention anything else, this hand alone is enough to prove the strength of this Elder Ciyun.
As a result, the crowd instantly became quiet.
Ciyun looked around the audience, enjoying everyone's awe-inspiring gazes, and then nodded in satisfaction.
"Very good! Since that's the case, let's not say much, the opening ceremony will begin now!"
After all, he waved his sleeves.
Before this square, streaks of brilliance began to emerge, and then joined together.
And after the light and shadow dissipated, it turned out to be a ladder.
But seeing the light and shadow of this ladder floating, while the other end goes straight to the sky, hidden in the illusory clouds and mist.
"Open the ladder!" Someone exclaimed.
The so-called Mountain Founding Ceremony is actually a ceremony used by the Jinding Pavilion to select disciples in order to replenish fresh blood.
And this opening ladder is a secret method.
If you have a predestined relationship with Taoism, and have talent and aptitude, you can go to the sky, if you don't, you will be unable to take a single step.
So when the ladder appeared, many people looked dignified.
But at this moment, I saw Sheng Manyu stepping forward and bowing to this Elder Ciyun.
"Daughter of the Sheng family, Sheng Manyu has met Uncle Ciyun!"
Ci Yun, who was originally full of pride, immediately had a smile on his face when he saw Sheng Manyu, "So it's Manyu! Don't be so polite! After all, you are going to worship my senior brother Shui Jing soon." Under the door, you will be a member of the same door from now on, come here quickly!"
The words are full of kindness.
Seeing this scene, Sheng Manyu smiled slightly, and then nodded, "Thank you, Uncle Ciyun! But this time my sister is here too, why don't you let her go up the ladder first?"
"Oh, we are all a family, what kind of ladder are you going to! Come over and have a rest, and then go back to the Golden Cauldron Pavilion!" Ci Yun said with a smile.
Sheng Manyu nodded, then dragged Sheng Miaotong out of the crowd and walked to that side.
At this moment, Sheng Miaotong was full of hesitation and sadness.
Because she felt that it was all because of herself that Xue An and the others fell into a desperate situation.
I don't know how he is doing now? Have you listened to yourself and left here as soon as possible?
Thinking of this, Sheng Miaotong couldn't help looking at the crowd secretly, but the square is so big, where can I find the traces of Xue An and Xing Yushu?
And after the Sheng family sisters successfully passed the "assessment", that Lu Shifa also walked forward very proudly and bowed his hands in salute.
When Ciyun saw that he was the youngest of the Lu family, of course she let him pass the examination with a bright smile.
Next, these wealthy children almost all went through a similar process. Although they were not treated as grandly as the Sheng family sisters and Lu Shifa, they all passed the assessment with ease.
Even the little-known Su Junneng stepped forward. Ciyun didn't know him at first, but when Su Junneng took out the paper.
This Ciyun also let him pass the examination.
soon.
Almost all the children of the wealthy families at the top were selected.
Then there are those who have a slightly more ordinary family.
When facing these disciples, Ci Yun's expression became much more serious.
But before stepping on the ladder, these children would take out something very knowingly and hand it to Ciyun.
Ciyun waved his robe sleeves with a natural expression, and accepted them, and then these people stepped up the ladder very smoothly.
Soon, these rich children basically all passed the assessment.
Followed by a more ordinary family....
In a word, no matter how talented you are, if you don't pay the money, don't think about passing the assessment.
Therefore, soon, a large number of children from ordinary families left the scene sadly with ashamed faces.
Seeing this scene, Xing Yushu, who was standing on the edge of the square, was full of astonishment and uneasiness on his face, and finally couldn't help but whispered: "My... my lord, this... what should I do?"
But there was no response to his words, Xing Yushu couldn't help but looked up at Xue An in astonishment, and then his heart shivered.
Because at this moment, Xue An's face was as cold as ice, and he was watching everything that happened coldly.
Xing Yushu couldn't help swallowing, and wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth, but stopped talking.
I don't know how long it took, maybe an hour or so.
I saw that the square that was still noisy just now had become empty.
Those who were eliminated had already left the stage sadly, while those who passed the assessment were standing behind Ciyun talking excitedly.
In the end, only Xue An and Xing Yushu were left standing on the edge of the square.
Now, all eyes instantly focused on the two of them.
When Sheng Miaotong saw that Xue An and the others hadn't left, she couldn't help crying inwardly.
And Sheng Manyu snorted coldly, then exchanged a glance with Lu Shifa, then walked up to Elder Ciyun, and muttered something in a low voice.
Ci Yun, who was originally laughing at Yan Yan, frowned slightly after hearing the words, and then looked at Xue An and Xing Yushu approaching with scrutiny.
Especially when he noticed their clothes, the expression on his face became more and more indifferent, and then he nodded calmly, "Okay, I got it!"
Sheng Manyu smiled coldly when he heard the words, his eyes rolled, and he glanced at Xue An who was coming, his heart was full of complacency.
At this time, Xue An and the two had already walked up to them.
Ciyun snorted coldly, and said in a strange way: "Which one of you wants to climb the ladder and enter the gate of my Jinding Pavilion?"
Xing Yushu took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "Back to Elder, it's me! I..."
