Chapter 44 I have always acted steadily
At noon, Qihuang Valley was crowded with people, and all the disciples gathered in the central square, listening to the fourth uncle Zheng Yufeng, telling about the selection of people to go to Jingtai in the next few days.
However, the disciples who can stand in the square have missed out on this blessing from heaven. Master Zheng said this just to use the opportunity to encourage the disciples; the disciples who are really valued are all in the main hall behind the square.
Zuo Lingquan had finished drinking with Jingxun and returned from the capital. He wanted to go to the square and heard the knowledgeable Uncle Zheng telling a joke. But halfway there, Senior Sister Xiaohua ran over and waved from a distance:
"Brother Lingquan, master asked you to go to the main hall. Senior uncle and senior brother are all there."
"Really?"
Zuo Lingquan didn't know why, so he asked about the reason. Senior Sister Xiaohua didn't know much either, so she just led him outside the main hall.
With the support of the entire country from the Great Dan Dynasty, the main hall in Qihuang Valley is very grand, and its scale is no less than the Zhengyuan Hall in the Imperial City.
Zuo Lingquan entered from the side door and looked up and saw that in the empty hall, there were several tables and chairs neatly arranged on the left and right. Dozens of people were already seated, including the headmaster of the fifth room, deacons and direct disciples. Because of the national master Yue Pingyang
No, Master Bo Yueheng was sitting on the main seat in the middle of the hall, facing everyone and talking about the arrangements for the next few days.
Grand Master Bo Yue Heng is the adopted son of the Imperial Master. He is considered to be the second-level master of Linggu and has the highest level of cultivation here, but he is also the oldest. He has been stuck in a bottleneck for many years and has not seen any movement. Now his hair and beard are all white. The second uncle and the third uncle
, sitting on both sides of the main hall, the remaining direct disciples are practicing in seclusion on weekdays, and Zuo Lingquan doesn’t know many of them.
On the wall facing the gate, there is a portrait hanging, but it is not the portrait of the previous leader of Qihuang Valley.
Zuo Lingquan was puzzled, and when he looked carefully, he found that there were incense sticks under the portrait, but there was no tablet, indicating that this was a 'living temple' and that living people were enshrined.
It goes without saying how high the status of the person in this portrait is even if the successive heads of Qihuang Valley don't show up and enshrine outsiders in the main hall of the sect.
Zuo Lingquan didn't see the signature on the portrait, so he walked quietly behind Wu Qingwan, sat down, and asked quietly:
"Senior Wu, who is that person hanging on the wall?"
Wu Qingwan had a calm personality and did not like to get involved in affairs. She sat in the second row with her hands on the side of her face and listened to her senior brother Luo Liba's chatter. Seeing Zuo Lingquan coming, she leaned back on the Taishi chair and explained:
"The ancestor of our ancestor, the Lord of Huangshan, the ancestor of Jingtai. I call him by his first name. It is said that others can hear it, so no one tells me what my name is."
"Oh...how awesome is that?"
"The entire Great Dan Dynasty is located to the east of Evergreen Mountain, and Evergreen Mountain is a branch of Barren Mountain. The Lord of Barren Mountain is the Lord of Barren Mountain. How powerful do you think it is?"
"..."
Zuo Lingquan couldn't imagine what level of master he was, so he stopped asking and turned to the two young people sitting in front:
"Who are these two senior brothers?"
"Sitting behind your second uncle is Xu Zhining. He is twenty-seven this year and is at the ninth level of Qi Refining. He is almost as powerful as I was back then. Behind the third uncle is Yao Heyu. He is also twenty-seven and is at the eighth level of Qi Refining."
Zuo Lingquan nodded slowly. If you have good qualifications, you can master one skill in three years and reach the ninth level with a score of thirty-three. Being able to enter the ninth level at the age of twenty-seven is indeed an amazing talent in the Great Dan Dynasty.
"This time we go to Jing Terrace, they have the best chance. The others are either poor in cultivation or older. It depends on whether She Yulong can break the mirror in time. Your uncle has used the 'Gu Yuan' that he has been reluctant to use for so many years.
Dan' was all given to him..."
…
While the two were whispering, Master Bo Yueheng finally finished Luo Liba's nonsense and started talking about business:
"This time I was surprised and gave me three places as monks to go to Linyuan City. This is a great opportunity that I don't encounter in a lifetime. You must cherish it. I went to Linyuan City in the past year. If I remember correctly, nine sects exchanged disciples. It only took ten years.
Once, every time, the winter solstice begins at the end of the cathode and the beginning of yang energy. Although it is at the end of the year, the journey is far away, and it is still unknown what situations you will encounter. You must start preparing from now on."
Yao Heyu, the direct descendant of the third uncle, raised his hand and saluted:
"When the time comes, the disciple will definitely go all out and not disgrace the cultivation of his master."
The second uncle knew the cruelty outside and shook his head:
"Don't talk nonsense. If you can make it to Linyuan City alive, you have already lived up to expectations. The nine sects are exchanging inner disciples. We, the Great Dan Dynasty, have three people. It is a good thing to take over the bottom one, two and three. I am afraid that others will think
It was an eyesore and was kicked out of the door."
The words are true, but they really don't sound good.
The uncle's face darkened: "Don't try to increase other people's ambition and destroy your own prestige."
The second uncle coughed lightly and said nothing.
The uncle glanced at everyone and said:
"There are many people who want to grab the quota this time. There are many talented young people outside Qihuang Valley. Don't be careless. It would be best if you can occupy all three quotas. If you can't occupy them, don't let outsiders take the limelight, especially Fuqishan.
"
Everyone in the hall nodded.
"Also, there will be a lot of people coming to the capital in the next few days, so we must not cause trouble at this time. Yulong and the others have to make preparations and cannot lead a team to patrol the mountains. This important task will be handed over to the disciples who do not participate in the fight for quotas. They must sweep away the surrounding mountains and fields.
Let a bird and a beast come out of Evergreen Mountain..."
When Wu Qingwan heard this, she said: "Senior Brother, let Ling Quan lead one of the patrol teams. He is very skilled in martial arts and can take on this important task."
When everyone present heard this, they all turned their heads and looked at Wu Qingwan - Zuo Lingquan was the future consort, and everyone had heard of his name, but their impression...
It seems that apart from being extremely handsome and having a lot of money in his family, he is not very outstanding, especially in terms of spiritual practice.
The uncle hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "Qingwan, are you sure Ling Quan is qualified? There are many visitors this time, and patrolling the mountain is not a trivial matter. If you are slightly negligent, I, Qihuang Valley, will lose all my face..."
Wu Qingwan turned around and looked at Zuo Lingquan:
"Ling Quan, are you okay?"
Zuo Lingquan knew that Wu Qingwan was very considerate of him, and it must be out of good intentions to arrange things for him, and it was not a chore, so he nodded:
"Lingquan will definitely live up to the high expectations of all teachers."
Seeing this, the uncle said no more and assigned a route for patrolling the mountain...
——
After a long time, the master in charge finished speaking.
Zuo Lingquan was assigned to inspect the Xiong Xiazi Ridge area, which was equivalent to replacing She Yulong's position; he had no objection to this, and after the meeting, he accompanied Wu Qingwan out and walked to the bamboo forest in the alchemy room.
When she went to the main hall to attend a meeting, Wu Qingwan wore a standard black dress from Qihuang Valley, which was relatively solemn. Her hair was as long as her hips, and ripples appeared as she walked slowly. She was elegant without losing her own charm and beauty.
Zuo Lingquan walked behind him, looking at the magnificent scenery of Qihuang Valley; but no matter how beautiful the scenery was, it was still a dead thing. No matter how you compared it, it was not as good-looking as the people in front of you.
The two of them walked through the square in front of the palace. Wu Qingwan asked Xiaohua and the others to go about their own business first. After there was no one around, she walked side by side with Zuo Lingquan and talked about the arrangement just now:
"Ling Quan, I will arrange errands for you, so don't worry about it."
"Senior Wu is serious. I am also a disciple of Qihuang Valley. It is my duty to work for the sect. There is no need to say anything unreasonable."
"This is not just about doing things for the sect. In Qihuang Valley, patrolling the mountains with juniors and juniors is a very popular job. The rewards are generous, and it can also establish prestige among the juniors, and leave a good impression on the seniors.
"Generally, only disciples with good performance will be assigned this job to show the importance of the sect."
Wu Qingwan turned her head and looked at Zuo Lingquan's profile:
"Qihuang Valley has been thinking of ways to send disciples to Jing Terrace. We were originally going to send Xu Zhining and the others there next year, but Jing Terrace suddenly gave them such an opportunity. They must have left first, and their seats will be vacant next year. I know.
If you really can’t find a reason why your talent cannot be cultivated, next year I will ask you to visit Jingtai with your senior brothers and see if you can find an expert to take a look at it. Senior brothers and the others will definitely hesitate about this kind of thing.
After all, we are not on the same level as the Jingtai Terrace, and they are polite enough to receive us, so there is no shame in bringing too many people there. So you have to leave a good impression in front of Master."
After all, I am still worried about Zuo Lingquan's cultivation.
Zuo Lingquan had already felt Wu Qingwan's meticulous care and felt embarrassed, and said with a smile:
"I understand. Thank you, Senior Wu, for the heads up... Well, Senior Wu takes care of me so much, I don't even know how to thank you."
Wu Qingwan liked Zuo Lingquan from the bottom of her heart. Of course, it was the love of an elder for a younger one.
She never thought about giving back, she just wanted to watch a genius emerge from under her hands.
"This is what I, as an elder, should do. I have nothing to thank you for. If you really want to thank me, treat Jiang Yi well in the future. I regard her as my own daughter. If you dare to betray her, I, as your mother-in-law,
, but I can’t spare you.”
"Mother-in-law..."
Zuo Lingquan blinked and felt that this relationship was a bit strange. He thought for a while and said:
"It sounds weird, but senior is more comfortable. Senior Wu and the princess look like sisters, and they don't even look alike."
Wu Qingwan was not modest about this compliment. She pursed her lips and said with a smile:
"Okay, let's take Wang Rui and the others to prepare. By the way, when encountering trouble, you must analyze the situation and focus on self-preservation. If you are chivalrous, you must be self-aware. Don't be too reckless."
"Senior Wu, don't worry, I have always acted steadily."
"Well, go ahead."
