Chapter 9 The Messenger
"No matter what the Patriarch of the Bai family is, since sending this young master over, it is estimated that it is a desperate plan. As far as I know, the strength of the Bai family has declined a lot in recent years, and it would be exhausting to take out such a large amount of resources. It's a matter of bones. There's nothing to do about it. Except for Bai Yan'er, who has a good aptitude and became a spiritual disciple in the next generation of the Bai family, none of the other Bai family disciples have passed the spiritual opening ceremony, and few even survived. This Bai Congtian should have attached a lot of hope to the Bai family." The old man said lightly.
"The Bai family will choose the Barbarian Ghost Sect with the lowest ranking, mostly because of the least amount of resources collected in this Spirit Opening Ceremony. If it wasn't for Aunt Yun, who is also in the Barbarian Ghost Sect, I wouldn't have come to participate in this Spirit Opening Ceremony. The Barbarian Ghost Sect deals with ghosts all day, and I don't like it very much." Mu Mingzhu pouted, looking somewhat happy.
"Hmph, no, how many times have I told you this girl, the spiritual opening ceremony is an extremely dangerous thing. Although you have performed well in your cultivation since you were a child, you are not sure of your spiritual aptitude until you have passed the test of the spiritual opening ceremony. How. Your Aunt Yun should take up a position at this ceremony. As long as you take care of you a little, although it can't help you to impact the Linghai, at least in a crisis, it can save your life. Otherwise, our Bai family is not short of this resource, and it is not impossible for you to go to the Tianyue Sect and other families." The old man in green robe said with a sullen expression.
"Yes, Pearl knows it's wrong." Seeing the old man's anger, the girl in purple immediately drooped down, not daring to say anything more.
"Although the Bai family and our shepherd's family had a tense relationship for a while because of your aunt's affairs. But compared to other aristocratic families, there is still some friendship, and during the New Year's holiday, the surface etiquette between the two families has never really been broken. Since this Bai Congtian is so highly valued by the Patriarch of the Bai family, he should have good cultivation qualifications. You might as well win him over before the opening ceremony. If he really succeeds in opening the spirit, the shepherd and the Bai family will not be able to return to their former friendship. Yes. Although there are some regrets about your aunt's affairs, it happened many years ago. Our family cannot be controlled by personal feelings, and we must still focus on family interests." The old man in green robe continued to preach calmly.
Even though Mu Mingzhu disagreed a hundred times in his heart, on the surface he could only nod his head like a chicken pecking at rice.
As a top qi cultivator, this 'third uncle' is second only to the patriarch in the Bai family. Unless she really becomes a spiritual disciple, she will not dare to contradict her.
However, because of this uncle's preaching, the daughter of the Bai family had a subconscious disgust towards 'Bai Congtian'.
Liu Ming, who was meditating in the distance, was naturally ignorant of all this, and was still silently practicing the element control technique.
Even though he had the talent to do two things with one heart since he was a child, the training time is still too short. If you want to go further on this, it is naturally not an easy thing.
In this way, the two groups of people stayed on the top of the mountain for a day and a night without disturbing each other. During the period, they each took out some dry food and ate something in a hurry.
At noon the next day, two more people came up from the mountain road where the Mu family and others came up.
But it was just two people, one old and one young.
The old man was dressed in a gray robe with a wrinkled face, and held a long dry tobacco bag in his hand.
The young one was a tall boy of similar age to Liu Ming, wearing a brand-new blue shirt, slightly dark skin, and a somewhat honest face.
When the young man saw that there were already so many people on the top of the mountain, he stayed for one.
The gray-robed old man was not surprised when he saw this, and greeted the young man,
I found another place to sit on the top of the mountain.
"They are also members of the Qi refining family?" Liu Ming couldn't help but ask when he saw this scene.
"It doesn't look like it, it should be a loose cultivator." Guan Laodao said solemnly after looking at the old and young.
"Oh, didn't you say that only the children of the Qi refining family can get the quota for the Spirit Opening Ceremony?" Liu Ming was surprised.
"It's not something that can be obtained from aristocratic families, but under normal circumstances, only aristocratic qi refining families have enough financial resources to buy a place to open a spirit. But if scattered qi practitioners can also come up with the same amount of resources, they will naturally not refuse to come. But this kind of thing usually rarely occurs, but once it does, the door-to-door will definitely attach great importance to the loose cultivators who participate in the spiritual opening ceremony. The probability of them passing the spiritual opening ceremony is even higher than the spiritual disciples who come to the door to train themselves. " Boss Guan said in a low voice, as if he really valued the old man and the young man very much.
"Oh, why is this?" Liu Ming was a little puzzled.
"Hey, for a family of qi refining, buying a place may be a pain in the ass. But for a loose cultivator, it may be that the accumulation of several generations or even a dozen bags of people will be exhausted. If it is not for the talent of the children It's amazing, I have at least three or four points of confidence in passing the spiritual opening ceremony, and I will never take a gamble." This time, it was Gu Lao San hehe replied.
"In this way, the other party thinks that at least one-third of the time he can become a spiritual disciple." After hearing this, Liu Ming was secretly shocked. He couldn't help but turn his head and glance at the tall boy again, but he really couldn't see anything. Exceptional.
"It happens every time the children of loose cultivators participate in the opening ceremony, but there are never too many. I didn't expect the young master to be at the same pick-up location as one of them. If possible, you might as well have a good time with this person. Make friends, maybe it will be beneficial to the young master in the future." Guan Boss said to Liu Ming after hesitating for a while.
"I know how to do it." Liu Ming took another deep look at the tall boy and stopped talking.
On the other side, the 'three uncles' in the shepherd's family naturally saw the identity of one old and one young loose cultivator at a glance. Surprised, he also warned the girl in purple, but did not send anyone to say hello for a while.
So in a weird atmosphere, the three waves of people who didn't get into the river just waited on the top of the mountain.
When another day and night passed and the sky was just a little brighter, a humming sound suddenly came from the distant horizon. It was very slight at first, and it became deafening in a blink of an eye.
The three waves of people who were resting on the top of the mountain immediately stood up in shock and looked away at the place where the sound came from.
I saw that in the sky in the distance, there was a black cloud at some point, and it flew towards this side with an amazing sound.
"The messenger has arrived. The two of me will not be able to be with you in the future. I have already told you everything that the Bai family and ordinary qi cultivators should know. Don't reveal anything! Everything will be fine in this pass of the messenger." Boss Guan immediately told Liu Ming in a low voice.
Even with his deep scheming, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart when he saw the arrival of the messenger.
The third Gu, who was on the side, also had the same flickering eyes.
Neither of them are ordinary people. When the black cloud really flew close to the top of the mountain, there was no more abnormality on his face.
When the dark clouds flew to the top of the mountain, the humming sound suddenly broke out, and a cold man's voice came from the cloud:
"The people who participate in the opening ceremony of this sect, please come up with the reception and introduction card of this sect. After this messenger is verified, he has to go to other places to perform the responsibility of receiving and guiding."
As soon as the voice fell, the clouds and mists rolled under the dark clouds, and suddenly a long cloud ladder descended from the sky and spread directly to the center of the top of the mountain.
"Take the lead"
When Liu Ming heard this, he was slightly startled. Before he could ask anything, Boss Guan had already taken out something and stuffed it into his hand, and said with a smile:
"Young master, be more careful, and just hand this card over to the door messenger."
Liu Ming's thoughts turned a few times, but he didn't say anything more. He grabbed the things in his hand and walked towards the cloud ladder.
Mu Mingzhu and the tall boy from the other two places also came over nervously after some exhortations.
After a while, the three of them walked to the cloud ladder almost at the same time. After a pause, they looked at each other a few times.
"Come up quickly, if the time is delayed, this seat will directly cancel your qualifications for spiritual enlightenment." The man on the dark cloud was a little impatient.
This time, Mu Mingzhu and Gao Dashao were taken aback, and they didn't dare to delay any longer and hurriedly rushed up the cloud ladder, walking up the dark clouds one after the other.
After Liu Ming smiled, he also stepped on it.
The cloud ladder seems to be foggy, but as soon as you step on it, there is a force of its own to hold up your body, giving people a feeling of walking on the ground.
Liu Ming was secretly amazed in his heart, but he didn't dare to walk too slowly, and followed the two people in front of him to the sky.
After a while, Mu Mingzhu, who was at the front, came to the bottom of the black cloud first, looked at the black qi billowing in front of him, and after gritted his teeth, he got in.
After hesitating for a while, the tall boy in the back stepped in, but his movements were obviously a bit stiffer than before.
Liu Ming, who had witnessed the movements of the two from behind, no longer hesitated, and as soon as his figure moved, he fell directly into the black cloud.
The moment the black cloud touched his body, he felt a slight chill on his body, and when his eyes lit up again, he suddenly reached the edge of a huge square platform.
The entire platform is about the size of an acre, and the color is white. There are more than a dozen strange statues with convex drums standing on the edge, and they are all covered by a layer of milky white light curtain.
On the platform, there are hundreds of boys and girls standing in twos and threes, all looking at the new three people with curious eyes.
Liu Ming's thoughts moved, and he raised his head and looked up.
I saw a small gray-white cloud hovering quietly at a height of seven or eight meters above, and sitting on top of this middle-aged man in soap.
This person had some pockmarks on his face, but his eyes flashed, and he looked at the three of them coldly.
"It's just the three of you, then I'll take the lead; take out the token, and report your name, and I'll verify your identity."
