Chapter 17 Watching the Tide
Shanxia Mountain is divided into five peaks, four cliffs and three spirit valleys.

All the lands are rich in inspiration, especially the five peaks and four cliffs, where the clouds are high and misty, and the essence of the sun and the moon are converging, refining the clouds and flowing.Even when the sun rises and the moon sets, you can see the golden glow of the sun steaming over the top during the day, and you can watch the spiritual mist of the Taiyin wash away at night, which can be described as magnificent.

The vitality is abundant, although it is not as good as the blessed place of the upper courtyard of the Linghua Sect, it is also a scenic spot in Lingshan that is hard for ordinary monks to find.

Guanchao Cliff is one of the four cliffs and is located in the east of Fanxia Mountain.

The cliff is more than a thousand feet high.

Just because you are on it, looking east, you can see the steaming water vapor and the surging clouds and tides in the deep and secluded lake in the east.

Hence the name 'Watching the Tide'.

There is a platform with a radius of hundreds of feet on the cliff.

This place is a meeting place for Fuzhenguan to meet the disciples of Zhufeng when he encounters an emergency.

It is rarely called on weekdays.

Except for a small number of handyman disciples and named disciples, who feel that this place is open and full of inspiration, borrowing the land to breathe out and comprehend the beauty of nature, very few people come here.

But today is different.

On the tide-watching cliff where few people are usually seen, there are crowds of people in sight.

One by one, the disciples of Fuzhen Temple in gray Taoist robes lined up in an orderly manner and sat cross-legged on the platform.

Everyone whispered to each other, and their eyes fell on the empty lecture platform above from time to time, as if they were waiting for someone to appear.

In the corner of the crowd, Wang Chengan sat among them.

Beside him are Xu Feihu and other 'colleagues' who work together in the Lingshan Hall.

Compared with the restlessness of the people around him, he seemed very quiet.

His gaze was not like that of others, looking at the high platform, but he looked contemplative.

But his tranquility was soon broken.

"Brother Wang, you already knew about the general election. What do you know about what Guru Guanzhong preached this time?" Someone approached Wang Cheng's ear and asked in a low voice.

It was none other than Xu Feihu who was sitting beside him.

As early as when Wang Cheng asked Xu Feihu to help him with the job, he had mentioned the general election to others.

The promise he made was also to give Xu Feihu a book on Yang Qi Dao and a chance to practice after he became a registered disciple of Fuzhen Temple through the general election.

It's just that although Xu Feihu is reckless, he is also a person with self-knowledge.

At that time, when I heard the news of the general election, I was a little bit moved, but I knew that I had nothing to do with the Daoist scriptures to practice. I basically couldn't get the qualification to run for the election, and I didn't make any troubles because of it.

But now the news of the general election has spread all over Shanxia Mountain, and the Guanzhong has even spread the news that they will make an arrangement for the disciples of the handyman.

Xu Feihu was inevitably a little excited.

Hearing this, Wang Cheng shook his head at Xu Feihu, and said: "The situation is changing now, and I don't know the details. What's more, the masters of Ziyun Peak will come here to explain the arrangement. Brother Xu, don't worry, just wait at ease. That's right."

Xu Feihu also understood this truth, but his heart was agitated and it was difficult to suppress it for a while.

Hearing Wang Cheng's answer, he smiled honestly and said, "What Brother Wang said is that I was too anxious."

talking.

He didn't bother Wang Cheng any more, and started discussing with the handyman disciple next to him.

Wang Cheng withdrew his thoughts.

Although he said that he didn't know the details, but after Liang Hua raised some points yesterday, he was actually very clear about the arrangement in the door.

The reason why I didn't tell Xu Feihu was because I didn't want to attract the attention of the people around me.

Not to mention the tide watching puja, it is basically a certainty.

As for the rules of the court.

According to Liang Hua.

In this Fa Conference, the number of candidates for the general election is determined by the ranking of Daoist meritorious deeds.

Hundreds of handyman disciples will each experience ten battles, and the winner will get Taoism.

After ten competitions, the top [-] people in Taoism will be eligible to participate in the general election.

And the top [-] handyman disciples can also rely on their Taoist skills to exchange for their spiritual needs in the temple to prepare for the general election.

Among them, the origin of Dao Gong is originally based on the rules of the upper court.

It is said that the disciples of the upper court can obtain Taoist merits when they are sent by the sect to go out to do errands.

Through Dao Gong, you can exchange benefits in the door.

In Fuzhen Temple, there were no rules of Taoism.

Obviously, it was also the change of the general election that borrowed the rules of the House of Lords.

As for the rules of the ten competitions, they were chosen by lottery.

There are hundreds of handyman disciples in Shanxia Mountain, all of them have different realms, most of them are people who don't have the scriptures on their bodies, and have never seen the state of divine illumination.

Once there is a gap in the cultivation realm, in the competition, the innate will suffer.

So regular.

Obviously not very fair.

But in a sense, it is rare to take care of those handyman disciples who were not eligible for the quota.

At least from Wang Cheng's point of view.

If there is no such accident, these sixty general election quotas will only belong to those who have become innate.

And most of the people among them can only be handyman disciples with certain backgrounds.

If Wang Cheng hadn't had the opportunity before, he would not have any complaints as an ordinary handyman disciple in the face of Guanzhong's "care".

of course.

Today's Wang Cheng, who meets Xu Feihu and others, is actually cheap in terms of realm.

Naturally, I don't think too much about it.

What he thinks about now, besides the opponent he will meet in the lottery, is more about how the Chen brothers and sisters will use the problem to play.

Wang Cheng cooperated with Liang Hua before, and got a lot of benefits from Chen Yuan.

As a result, the siblings held a lot of grudges against him.

Under the circumstances of Fuzhenguan's rules, the two still wanted to do something against him.

Now that the Fa Conference is held, he will definitely not miss the opportunity.

After all, the competition in the Fahui may not end there, and there is a lot of room for making calculations here.

Also.

If Wang Cheng can win the ceremony, he will leave the mountain with the Linghua Dharma boat to participate in the general election.

The two brothers and sisters must also understand that if they want to take revenge at that time, it will obviously be a lot of trouble.

Even once he obtained the qualification as a registered disciple of Fuzhen Temple from the general election, it would be even more difficult to solve it when he returned to Fanxia Mountain in the future.

Wang Cheng didn't know when the brother and sister had 'given' him the Qi Yang Dao book and the three Taoism techniques earlier.

Have you considered the possibility that he will directly participate in the general election after he becomes innate?

But it will certainly not be ignored now.

Wang Cheng pondered the time.

After discussing with the people around him, Xu Feihu sighed with emotion: "I don't know if the masters in this visit understand my desire to seek the Tao and give me a chance to study the Dharma."

Wang Cheng turned to look at him, about to say something.

suddenly.

There was a burst of exclamation from the surrounding crowd.

In the direction of Ziyun Peak, there are several streaks of light flying towards Chaoguan Cliff.

In just a moment, he had already reached the sky above Lingya.

Look closely.

In the midst of the streamer, several Taoist priests controlled the magic weapon, fell from the sky, and stood on the upper platform.

Among them, apart from Fu Xiuzhu, the head of Ziyun Peak that Wang Cheng had met long ago, there were also two men he had never seen before.

These two men have extraordinary manners, and they are not the other two masters in charge of Ziyun Peak.

Not surprisingly, it was obviously someone from the upper court.

really.

Without waiting for Wang Cheng to take a closer look, Fu Xiuzhu, who was settled on the high platform, glanced at the handyman disciples present, and then said: "This time, the sect called you to gather at Guanchao Cliff. You must have done what you have done." Already know."

"After your request was understood by the temple, the matter was reported to the upper court. The upper court discussed the matter in detail, and indeed thought that the rules for the selection of names were a bit sloppy. It is a bit unfair for disciples who have worked hard, but have not been able to obtain the true scriptures due to lack of opportunity."

"The two next to me are Dao brothers from the upper courtyard. They came with me this time to tell everyone. Although the servant disciples are not my true master of Linghua, they are also disciples. You will work day and night. , maintaining the operation of the lower house, and more meritorious service, the door will naturally live up to it."

"Therefore, after the adjustment of the House of Lords, some changes have been made to the rules for obtaining quotas for the general election."

"It is no longer necessary to cultivate the innate realm as a qualification condition, but to hold a dharma meeting, pass the competition, and choose the winner to participate in the subsequent selection of registered disciples."

Whoa!
As soon as Fu Xiuzhu said this, there was an uproar on Guanchao Cliff.

Although the handyman disciples had already guessed, it was clear that Guanzhong held a meeting suddenly, obviously to appease them.

But I didn't expect to directly give everyone a chance to get a place in the general election.

How can this make everyone not excited?

"Headmaster is wise!"

In the crowd, someone shouted!

next moment.

The other handyman disciples who reacted also shouted excitedly.

There are only a few handyman disciples who already have the scriptures on the orthodox preaching and the innate energy in their hands, and their faces are not very good-looking.

"quiet!"

Fu Xiuzhu frowned, and said: "This is the decision of the upper court, not my idea. Besides, whether you can get this spot depends on your own ability. Especially for those who are low-level and not skilled, I advise you not to get too excited morning."

"There is no rule against harming life in this Dharma meeting. If you lose your life due to lack of skill in a martial arts battle, the sect will not intervene."

"So whether to participate in the Fa conference, you have to think about it yourself."

Fu Xiuzhu's words fell silent, and the venue suddenly fell silent.

Everyone's expressions also changed.

They were only excited about the opportunity just now, but they never thought that there would be such a risk here.

Matters of life and death were involved, so they couldn't help being calm.

Fu Xiuzhu didn't care what everyone thought, first introduced the relevant rules of the Dharma conference, and then said: "Ziyunfeng has more important matters to deal with, so for this Dharma conference, I will be the top ten beginners of Fuzhen Temple The disciples will preside over it."

"In a while, they will draw opponents for ten matches for you according to the roster, and the results will be available. The first match will start at noon."

"From now on, for the next ten days, there will be one game per day, and we will gather at Guanchao Cliff at Chenshi. Those who fail to get the roll call will automatically be regarded as admitting defeat."

After saying this.

Fu Xiuzhu turned his eyes, but fell to the side of the high platform.

In order to make sure whether what Liang Hua said was true, Wang Cheng had been paying attention to Fu Xiuzhu. Seeing the change in the other party, he immediately followed Fu Xiuzhu's line of sight.

Seeing ten figures, after Fu Xiuzhu finished speaking, he got up and moved up the high platform.

Seeing this scene, Wang Cheng's heart sank slightly.

That's why.

It's not that what Fu Xiuzhu said about the rules of the Dharma Association did not correspond to what Liang Hua said.

It's not that there is anything wrong with handing over the presiding of the Dharma conference to the top ten disciples.

The main reason was because he saw a familiar figure among the ten people.

This figure was none other than Lin Tong, the disciple of Jin Yunfeng and the master of Fuguang Cave.

of course.

Wang Cheng already knew the identity of Lin Tong's top ten disciples.

The reason why he had a bad feeling after seeing Lin Tong right now was because he remembered the involvement of the Chen brothers and sisters with this person.

Right now, this person and nine other beginner disciples are in charge of hosting the Dharma meeting.

If the Chen brothers and sisters take advantage of this person to tamper with the arrangement of the competition, it may be a big trouble for him.

But the matter has come to this point, and in his capacity, there is nothing he can do now.

You can only wait for the result and prepare.

And also at this time.

Fu Xiuzhu, who had explained the matter properly, had already left Guanchao Cliff with the two Taoists of the upper court, using the magic weapon.

Seeing this, everyone's eyes fell on Lin Tong and other top ten disciples.

Although I don't know how they will draw everyone's opponents.

But now their fate basically falls into the hands of these ten people, how can they not pay attention?
……

at the same time.

On the Chaoguan Cliff, there is a rock platform that can include the entire platform in the field of vision.

But I saw the Chen brothers and sisters and a young Taoist standing on it, looking at the platform from afar.

Seeing that Fu Xiuzhu and others were retreating, the top ten disciples were ordered to go up to the high stage and start drawing for the dharma meeting.

Chen Yuan withdrew his gaze, glanced at his younger sister Chen Yingying and the young Taoist, but said with a smile: "It's God's will for me to have such a change in the temple."

"Wang Cheng, although he is a bit clever, how can he stand against the general trend in his family? After ten competitions, Senior Brother Lin Tong was able to save him. I don't believe he can escape this calamity."

"It seems that even God is not used to seeing such an arrogant villain, so he wants to use my hand to teach him a lesson."

Chen Yingying also smiled coquettishly and said: "This son is the worst trustee. He is in seclusion in the mansion. He must think that he can rest easy. Now that he has encountered such an accident, he will probably feel very uncomfortable."

Hearing the words of the two brothers and sisters, the young Taoist also echoed: "This Dharma meeting has such a regulation, and there are arrangements made by Senior Brother Chen. If a mere disciple of a handyman can survive the ten-day competition, then how can he survive the ten-day competition?" It just doesn't make sense."

"It's just that although this person has some brains, he is just a disciple of handyman. Why does senior brother value him so much? Why do you need to go to such great lengths to persuade senior brother Lin Tong to help?"

"Brother Lin Tong was born in a Taoist family, and his talent is also amazing. Now he is one of the top ten disciples. He may be promoted to the upper court someday. If you want to persuade him, I am afraid that the senior brother will spend a lot of money, right? It would be too wasteful." A little bit."

As soon as the Taoist said this, Chen Yuan's expression darkened, and he said: "There is nothing to say about this matter, Junior Brother Wu only needs to know that this person has a great enmity with me."

"By the way, is your brother's ability reliable? It is said that this son of Wang Cheng was born in the secular world. He also lived as a casual cultivator near the deep and remote lake for a period of time. Although his realm is unbearable, his martial arts are fantastic There is no way to say how much accumulation there is.”

"At the level of Yang Qi, in the final analysis, it is more than fighting. Although your brother, although he has cultivated the innate Qi early in the body, he doesn't know how much fighting skills? Don't fight at that time, gutter capsized..."

Chen Yuan didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was very clear.

'Junior Brother Wu' was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "Brother, if you do this, you are looking down on my brother. He is not a child who has never seen the storm."

"What's more, the king's cultivation is not in the dragon and tiger realm. According to you, senior brother, it took him less than half a month to get the book of true preaching. It is already a fluke that he barely cultivated some spiritual essence without anyone's guidance. Fortunately, how capable can you be?"

"Even if he has some martial arts, his realm is so far behind, it is impossible for him to make any accidents."

"Furthermore, according to the senior brother's arrangement, my clan brother will not make a move in the first round. After Wang Cheng competes with others for one or two rounds, and he has figured out the specific means of cultivation, he will naturally be able to make more moves at that time." How can there be any possibility of overturning the ship if it is targeted too much?"

Chen Yuan frowned and said, "Junior brother, don't talk too much. A few days ago, you said you would help teach this person a lesson, didn't you fail?"

"There is no room for mistakes in this matter. I don't want this matter to change again because my junior doesn't pay enough attention to this person."

"Even if you and Yingying agree with each other at that time, I won't be able to help you speak in front of the clan elders."

'Junior Brother Wu' looked slightly startled.

half an hour.

Shen Yin said: "Don't worry, brother, I will make arrangements carefully."
