Chapter 586 Qian Dao Sect
Mo Hua was also stunned.
Wen Ren Wan's reaction was somewhat beyond his expectations.
"Is the admission order of the Qiandao Sect... very valuable?"
Yu'er, who was eating at the side, also looked at her mother in confusion.
Wen Renwan sighed, "The sect order means 'entrance without examination'. In Ganxuezhou, from big to small, the sect order of any sect is very valuable, not to mention the top sect like Qiandao Sect."
"Top?" Mo Hua was slightly stunned, then remembered what Wen Renwan had just said, "Four major sects?"
"Yes." Wen Renwan nodded slightly, "Ganxuezhou is a fifth-grade place, with many Taoist sects, and there are thousands of sects of all sizes."
"Among them, the highly respected upper-class sects are the 'Four Major Sects', 'Eight Major Sects', 'Twelve Streams'..."
"In addition, there are some sects that are not weak in strength but lack a little foundation. These sects are collectively called 'Ganxue Hundred Sects'..."
"Four Major Sects, Eight Major Sects, Twelve Streams, Ganxue Hundred Sects..." Mo Hua muttered silently and remembered them in his heart.
Wen Renwan continued:
"Among all the sects in Ganxuezhou, if we talk about the orthodoxy, the four major sects are the strongest, and the eight major sects are the second..."
"The Twelve Streams can be compared with the eight major sects, but they specialize in one path and are biased, such as the Broken Gold Sect's sword control, the Wanfa Sect's magic, and other sects that specialize in formations, elixirs, weapons, talismans, beast control, martial arts, etc..."
"And the Qiandao Sect is one of the best sects among the top 'four major sects' in Ganxuezhou."
"One of the best..."
Mo Hua was a little confused, "Then is it the first or the second?"
Wen Renwan's expression was a little complicated, and he whispered:
"This..."
"The four major sects all say that they are the first and refuse to be second. Therefore, the four major sects are all the best, but they can't say clearly, whether they are the first or the second..."
Mo Hua opened his mouth.
They can still "intrigue" like this...
"So," Wenren Wan said in a serious tone, "as the top sects in the Five-Rank State Realm, the entry requirements of the 'Four Major Sects' are extremely strict. A sect entry token that allows for free admission is naturally extremely precious..."
"Even for aristocratic families like Shangguan and Wenren, it is extremely rare."
Wenren Wan sighed.
Mo Hua was a little absent-minded.
He didn't expect that what his master left for him was such a valuable thing.
After Wenren Wan finished speaking, he immediately remembered something and reminded:
"Keep this sect entry token carefully and don't tell anyone else."
"Yes!" Mo Hua nodded.
Seeing that Mo Hua looked calm and was not panicked despite having a treasure, Wenren Wan nodded secretly, but then became curious:
"Where did you get this token?"
"I picked it up!" Mo Hua said.
Wenren Wan was startled, "Picked... picked it up?"
The sect entry token of Qiandao Sect... can also be picked up?
Mo Hua could come up with this kind of excuse almost at once:
"I was hunting monsters in a mountain in Lizhou, and by chance, I picked up a storage bag. Inside the bag, there was a token with the words 'Qian Dao Sect' on it."
"I asked around and found out that this was the entry token to the Gan Xuezhou boundary."
"The Gan Xuezhou boundary is far from the state, but I thought that since I found it, it was an opportunity that I couldn't waste, so I traveled through mountains and rivers to Ganzhou to see if I could join the sect and learn some knowledge of cultivation..."
This is a simple story of cultivating the Tao and seeking the law.
It's half true and half false.
It sounds simple, but there's nothing wrong with it.
Wen Renwan was skeptical, but after thinking about it, it's not a big deal if some people are born with good luck.
What's more, the one who said this was Mo Hua, who had just saved his child.
Wen Renwan believed it for the time being.
Mo Hua, however, had some concerns: "Aunt Wan, can this sect entry order really exempt one from the entrance examination?"
"Of course..."
Wen Ren Wan stopped talking halfway, frowned, and hesitated.
In theory, if one holds the order to enter the sect, one can be admitted to the sect, which is no problem.
The issuance of the sect entry order is extremely strict. Not everyone can be issued, and not everyone can get it.
When entering the sect, the sect will slightly calculate the cause and effect.
As long as the person holding the sect entry order has a legitimate origin, no evil causes, no evil consequences, and is not "killing people to rob treasures", stealing opportunities, or plotting against the law, it doesn't matter.
Even if it is "picked up", it is considered an opportunity from the heavens, and the sect will not refuse it.
But...
Mo Hua's is a little special.
Qian Dao Sect is too big, and every place is precious.
And Mo Hua is a casual cultivator, without any background, and more importantly, his spiritual roots...
Wen Ren Wan whispered: "Mo Hua, your spiritual roots..."
"Middle-lower grade five-element spiritual roots." Mo Hua replied.
As expected...
Wen Ren Wan sighed.
This spiritual root is too bad, basically can't even touch the floor of the entrance...
But Wen Ren Wan didn't want Mo Hua to be sad, so he said: "Qian Dao Sect is a big sect, and it is trustworthy. They should accept you."
Mo Hua knew that Wen Ren Wan was comforting him, so he smiled and said: "Thank you Aunt Wan!"
But he also had some expectations in his heart.
Qian Dao Sect is much larger than he thought, and the threshold is much higher.
It is estimated that if you really want to join Qian Dao Sect, it will not be so easy...
However, there must be a way to get there, and you have to go there after all.
Wenren Wan also said: "After you finish eating, take a rest for a night. Tomorrow I will let the Wenren family's carriage take you safely to the Qiandao Sect..."
Mo Hua smiled and thanked, then remembered something and whispered:
"Aunt Wan, there is one more thing..."
Wenren Wan said: "Just tell me!"
Mo Hua whispered: "Can I not tell others about my rescue of Yu'er?"
Wenren Wan was stunned, and then understood.
He was able to calculate the direct line of the Shangguan family and the Wenren family, and he was able to conceal the secrets of heaven, so that the two major families could not figure out the cause and effect.
The power behind this must be extremely huge.
The plot must be far-reaching.
Mo Hua was just lucky and saved Yu'er.
But if these people knew that it was Mo Hua who ruined their good deeds, then this good luck would turn into bad luck.
Mo Hua is still just a child, and even more so a casual cultivator, with low cultivation, no power, no background, it is estimated that he will really...
die without a burial place!
Wenren Wan's heart trembled and she felt sour.
She knew the pain of losing a child.
Mo Hua also had parents. If Mo Hua lost his life because of saving Yu'er, how sad his parents would be.
She would feel guilty for the rest of her life...
Wenren Wan said solemnly: "Don't worry, I will keep all the people who know about this matter secret and never reveal any news!"
Mo Hua smiled brightly, "Thank you, Aunt Wan!"
Wenren Wan looked at Mo Hua's clear smile and felt a little relieved.
After that, Mo Hua rested in Qingzhou City for a night and played with Yu'er for a while. The next day, he took the carriage of the Wen family and drove to the north of Ganxuezhou...
Ganxuezhou is a popular place for studying.
There are countless sects along the way.
In the clouds and mist, Taoist courts stand in rows, with a variety of scenes and magnificent scenery.
The rosy clouds filled the mountains, and the spirit beasts chirped, as if it were a fairyland.
Monks wearing various sect robes came and went, their lights interlaced.
Mo Hua was shocked.
"This is... Ganxuezhou Realm..."
"This is... Ganzhou's largest place for learning and asking questions..."
There were so many beautiful sights along the way that Mo Hua stuck his head out of the car window and looked at them all the way, feeling deeply moved.
The sound of horse hooves was long.
The mountain road was hidden in the clouds.
Walking was like riding on the clouds.
Two days later, the carriage arrived at Qiandao Sect.
A huge mountain was seen from afar, standing at the top of the sky, with palaces lined up in the mountains, and temples dotted around, majestic and magnificent, surrounded by clouds and mist, as if it was the White Jade Capital in the sky.
"Qiandao Sect..."
Mo Hua was a little nervous, a little expectant, and a little uneasy in his heart.
The carriage stopped at the foot of the mountain.
A guard from the Wen family clasped his fists and apologized, "Young Master Mo, the rules of the Qiandao Sect are strict. They don't allow carriages and horses to go up the mountain. We are really sorry. We can only send you here."
"It's okay."
Mo Hua waved his hand, thanked the guard, and then walked straight along the high steps to the gate of the Qiandao Sect.
The nearby area was even more golden and jade-paved, and it was magnificent.
On the way, some other students also stopped their horses and walked up the mountain. It seemed that they also wanted to join the Qiandao Sect.
However, they were dressed more gorgeously, their eyebrows were more prominent, and they were protected by family elders and surrounded by guards.
Mo Hua was dressed simply and was alone.
Fortunately, he had long been used to it.
Mo Hua walked alone and came to the gate of the Qiandao Sect.
In front of the gate, there was a towering threshold, almost taller than Mo Hua, separating the people who went up the mountain and Mo Hua.
Several disciples of the Qiandao Sect were guarding the mountain gate. When they saw Mo Hua, they stopped him and asked him what he wanted to do.
They spoke politely, but in their bones, they were a little contemptuous and arrogant.
"I have a sect entry order and want to join the sect..."
Mo Hua showed the sect entry order.
The disciples of the Qiandao Sect were a little shocked. After looking at each other, one of them said:
"Wait here for a moment. I want to report back and ask the elders to make a decision."
After that, he said: "Fill in your hometown resume..."
Mo Hua looked at the so-called "hometown resume", which is to fill in where your family is, what your background is, and what your spiritual roots are.
Mo Hua filled in everything truthfully.
The disciple collected Mo Hua's hometown, took out a sealed box, sealed the sect entry order, and then entered the mountain gate. Along the wide jade avenue, he walked for a cup of tea and arrived at a hall.
In the hall, several elders of the Qiandao Sect were discussing matters.
The disciple presented the sealed box and explained the whole story.
Several elders were surprised, "The order to join the sect?"
They looked at the head seat and asked, "Elder Shen, what do you think?"
Elder Shen, who was sitting in the head seat, had deep nasolabial folds on his face and four golden lines on his Taoist robe, which showed that he was in a high position and had great power.
Hearing this, Elder Shen took the order to join the sect and frowned when he saw the words on it.
"Elder Shen, is there anything wrong?" An elder asked when he saw this.
Elder Shen shook his head and handed over the order to join the sect, "You all take a look..."
The other elders were a little puzzled, and after taking it and looking at it, they were all stunned.
An elder slowly read out: "Those who hold the order to enter the sect shall not disobey..."
"This word... is not right..."
"Shouldn't it be 'Those who hold the order to enter the sect, please agree'?"
"Yes, why is it in the tone of an 'imperial order'?"
"Is this order to enter the sect... fake?"
Elder Shen shook his head, "It's real, but it's 'old'..."
"Old?"
The elders were a little surprised.
Elder Shen nodded, "This is the sect's old calendar..."
Elder Shen looked at the entry order and sighed slightly:
"This is... a relatively old batch of 'Entry Orders'. At that time, Qian Dao Sect was in decline and lacked strength, and actions depended on people's faces. Therefore, the entry orders at this time were in the tone of 'Imperial Order'... "
"You can't refuse, even if you let me join the Taoist sect, I can't resist..."
"but!"
Elder Shen's eyes were strong and his voice was strong: "As the successive heads of my Qian Dao Sect have worked hard to govern, and the monks of several generations have worked hard to become stronger, the whole sect has been united and devoted to its business, and it has grown to this day..."
"My Dao Sect is no longer what it used to be!"
"Everyone in the sect is a genius, and their qualifications are of the highest quality!"
"Now, we are the head of the four major sects! We are the largest sect in Qianxue State!"
"Therefore, the format and wording of this entry order has been changed."
“It’s no longer ‘no disobedience’, but ‘all hope is granted’!”
"It is others who beg us to 'allow' them to join the sect, not us, who accept other people's 'orders' to accept disciples!"
Elder Shen's words were striking.
All the elders also felt that their moods were ups and downs, and they felt proud.
An elder asked: "Then the order to enter the clan is old and not very honorable, so you...rejected it?"
Elder Shen thought for a moment and shook his head:
"You don't have to be so arbitrary, you always have to consider everything..."
"Although these past events are not glorious, they are also facts that cannot be changed."
"We monks must remember the humiliation of the past and keep it in our hearts, so that we can bear the burden and continue to grow, so that our Taoist sect can stand for thousands of years!"
Everyone flattered them one after another:
"As expected of Elder Shen!"
“Look far ahead!”
"The layout is far-reaching and the measurement is extraordinary!"
…
Elder Shen waved his hands slightly, remembered something, and asked again:
"What are the qualifications of this apprentice disciple?"
Someone handed over a "native place".
Elder Shen only glanced at it and frowned.
"Rogue cultivator..."
"Still a casual cultivator in a remote place in Lizhou..."
"Mid-low grade small Five Elements Spiritual Root..."
Elder Shen felt a little uncomfortable.
Other elders also circulated this birthplace. One elder couldn't help but laugh and said: "In the special column, it says...formation?"
The others were startled and laughed.
"He really dares to write..."
"I'm afraid I have nothing else to write..."
"Array..." An elder shook his head, "My fifth-generation great-grandson is extremely talented in formation. I don't even dare to let him take the path of formation, let alone say he is good at it..."
"It's true...the ignorant are fearless..."
"After all, monks in small places may think they are great after learning a few formations. I wonder if the mountains are high and the sea is vast, there is a sky beyond the sky..."
An elder smiled and said, "Why don't we ask how many formations he knows?"
"You are really free..."
"So what if I ask, can he still draw a second-grade formation?"
"Don't underestimate the monks in the world..."
"That's what I say, but this is Qianzhou, the boundary of Qianxue State. All the geniuses in cultivation are included here. There is no shortage of him as a 'formation genius'..."
…
Everyone discussed for a while, and then someone asked curiously:
"How did he get this entry order?"
"That's true..."
"The ancient 'Entry Order', maybe you found it?"
"Where is it so easy to pick up? It couldn't be... someone who killed someone to seize the treasure, or robbed it..."
"Or, whose chess piece is it?"
Elder Shen shook his head, "I did some calculations just now. It's a bit fuzzy and not accurate, but it looks pretty clean and there are no problems. There should be no 'evil causes and consequences'. I guess I just picked it up by chance..." "
An elder sighed: "What a good luck..."
"Indeed, you can even pick up the entry order..."
Elder Shen nodded and said: "Some people in this world do have some good opportunities..."
"Since this child has a chance, then..." An elder tested Elder Shen's intention.
Elder Shen pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Having a chance is one thing, but..."
Elder Shen looked slightly arrogant and said with emotion:
"I am the Dao Sect, and he cannot afford such a great opportunity!"
All the elders were startled and exclaimed:
"Elder Shen's words are very good!"
"It's not a good thing if the opportunity is too great..."
"Those who are unlucky cannot handle this overwhelming wealth..."
"This is also for his own good..."
…
"But..." Some elders were worried, "If I refuse, will it damage the prestige of our Qian Dao Sect?"
After all, if you enter the sect with an order, you will generally not refuse.
If you refuse, you may be said to have "broken your promise", which will be unpleasant if word spreads...
Elder Shen frowned, thought for a moment, and then said seriously:
"It's not 'rejected', it's 'to be discussed'..."
Everyone was startled.
"To be discussed?"
Elder Shen nodded, "It's not a rejection, it's just that this matter is special and needs to be discussed carefully..."
Negotiate well.
Since it is a discussion, how long will it take to discuss it, whether it is one month, one year, or ten years? Will there be a result, and what will be the result...
This is Qian Daozong's business, and there is no room for others to comment.
Elder Shen didn't say these words, but everyone understood them.
Everyone nodded:
"So best..."
"This is a serious matter, and indeed, we need to discuss it carefully..."
"As expected of Elder Shen, he handles things properly, knows when to advance and retreat, and has a sense of proportion..."
"Then how to deal with this sect entry order?" someone else asked.
Elder Shen said indifferently:
"Record the monk's native place."
The sect entry order is precious, one order for one person, once the native place is recorded, the order will be returned and others can no longer use it.
And once it is "pending discussion", the entry of the person holding the order will be stuck.
This is handled properly.
Elder Shen nodded slightly.
The sect entry order flashed and the native place was recorded.
Elder Shen annotated the words "pending discussion" on the native place, and then threw the native place aside, put it on the case file, and quietly gathered dust.
When throwing it, he saw the name on the native place again.
"Mo Hua..."
Elder Shen forgot this name after seeing it, and didn't take it to heart...
I tried my best!
