Chapter 19 Entry Selection
Elder Sun had already left, but the Baiyun audience disciples were still standing there, letting their minds churn with thoughts.
Looking at everyone's confused expressions, Li Yu let out a breath.
Without sufficient life experience, it is impossible to understand what Elder Sun said.
In fact, until the moment of death, people will never be able to have the deepest understanding of this sentence.
Fame, wealth and honor are all dust. Among thousands of great ways, only the immortal way is eternal.
Li Yu is a man who has died once, so he has more say about death than Elder Sun.
There is only one fair thing in the world, that is, everyone will die.
No matter if you are a peddler or an emperor, death is something that no one can escape. No matter how glorious your life was, how high your status was, or how many beauties you had, in the end, you are nothing but a handful of earth.
Only the immortal way transcends the cycle of life and death and can be called eternal.
Today, Elder Sun taught the young disciples in the temple the most important lesson on the path of cultivation.
When they walked out of the courtyard, Zhou Zixuan tilted her head and asked Li Yu, "Li Yu, what do you think of what Elder Sun just said?"
There was a deep confusion in her eyes, and she even forgot to let go of Li Yu's hand.
Li Yu smiled and said, "I agree half and disagree half."
Zhou Zixuan asked in confusion: "Which half agrees and which half disagrees?"
Li Yu said: "For the immortals, fame, wealth and status are indeed meaningless dust, but beauty is still very interesting. Elder Sun has never had a Taoist partner in his life, so of course he can't experience it..."
Li Yu's words attracted the approval of many male disciples.
"Yes, without beauty, what's the point of cultivating immortality?"
"I kind of miss my wives and concubines. I haven't seen them for two years. I wonder if they miss me."
"Maybe by the time you return, the baby will be one month old."
"Get lost. If I'm not chosen tomorrow, I'll go back and have more children. If I can have a child with a heavenly spiritual vein, maybe I can also become famous because of the father's son..."
"Go and dream your dreams!"
…
The crowd burst into laughter and dispersed. Zhou Zixuan rolled her eyes at Li Yu and said, "Ever since Junior Sister Jiang left, you've become more and more frivolous."
Having said that, she actually prefers Li Yu like this in her heart.
She spat inwardly, Zhou Zixuan, ah Zhou Zixuan, I didn't expect you to be such a woman...
At this time, Chen Ming came up and said to Li Yu: "Li Yu, if Kunlun doesn't want us tomorrow, you can come back to the capital with me. I will let my father make you a high official, and then recruit a hundred beauties for you to choose from..."
Zhou Zixuan glared at Chen Ming angrily and said rudely, "Go away, you crow mouth, get out of here, you have nothing to do here!"
After sending Chen Ming away, Zhou Zixuan looked at Li Yu tentatively and said, "What are your plans if that crow mouth comes true?"
Li Yu thought about it and said, "It doesn't matter. There are still two years left. I should stay in the temple to practice."
Zhou Zixuan thought about it and asked again: "What if it doesn't work after two years?"
Li Yu said without hesitation: "Then I will go back to the capital with Chen Ming, ask his father to appoint me a high official, and then find a hundred beauties for me to choose from..."
Zhou Zixuan pinched the soft flesh on his arm and said angrily, "You men are all the same. I won't pay attention to you!"
Senior Sister Zhou said she would ignore Li Yu, but at night, she still pushed open Li Yu's door.
Li Yu was practicing, sitting cross-legged on the bed, using his magic power to impact the next acupuncture point. Feeling someone coming in, he opened his eyes and stopped practicing.
Zhou Zixuan came over, sat at the head of his bed, sighed leisurely, and said, "Li Yu, I can't sleep..."
Tomorrow is the day for the selection of Kunlun Sect disciples, which can be said to be the biggest turning point in everyone’s life. I am afraid that all the disciples will not be able to sleep at night.
Although Li Yu himself was unsure, he still comforted her, "Don't be nervous. Didn't Elder Sun say that we two have the best hope? What if an elder in the foundation-building stage takes a liking to us tomorrow..."
"Pah!" Zhou Zixuan spat and said, "I'm not like you. If I can't be with the person I love, I don't want to live for ten thousand years. With the person I love, a few decades of my life is enough."
Li Yu shook his head and sighed, "There are thousands of great ways, but only the immortal way is eternal. You didn't listen to a word of what Elder Sun said. But it doesn't matter. If there is really an elder in the foundation-building stage who likes me, I will obey her. When I outlast her, I will use her inheritance to support you, and we will build the foundation together..."
"Haha, who asked you to raise one..."
Zhou Zixuan laughed so hard that her body shook violently, and she punched Li Yu's body with her fists for a few times. Finally, she leaned on his shoulder, panting slightly, and said, "It's all your fault. You laughed so hard that I'm not nervous anymore..."
After a fight, she sat up from the bed, looked at Li Yu gratefully, and said, "Thank you, I'll go back to my room to rest, see you tomorrow..."
Watching her walk away briskly and close the door, Li Yu took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
She was no longer nervous, but Li Yu felt a little uncomfortable.
Senior Sister Zhou is beautiful and has a sexy figure, but she always forgets to keep a distance from him. She is eighteen or nineteen years old, at the age when she is full of energy, so how can she withstand such a test?
Li Yu glanced down. No matter what, today would be a sleepless night...
…
The next morning, just as the sky was getting light, the bell of Baiyun Temple began to ring.
The nineteen disciples washed up as quickly as possible and gathered in the square in front of the temple in less than a quarter of an hour.
Today is the day for the Kunlun Sect’s entry selection, and no one dares to be careless.
Li Yu got up as soon as he heard the bell, without wasting any time, and was the last one to arrive here.
Zhou Zixuan had already arrived, and Li Yu naturally stood beside her.
Zhou Zixuan is usually very calm and composed, but she couldn't help being nervous at this moment. She turned her head and looked at Li Yu who was standing beside her with a calm expression, and her nervousness subsided a little.
After all, Li Yu has lived two lives. The special experiences in his previous life enabled him to control his emotions well at most critical moments.
After everyone had arrived, another quarter of an hour passed before Elder Sun finally arrived. Today, he was not wearing the gray clothes he usually wore, but a white robe with extremely intricate patterns on it. At first glance, it seemed as if there was a brilliant light flowing on it.
Elder Sun sat on a chair on the high platform in front of the square and said calmly, "Everyone wait, the sect's deacon will be here today."
Elder Sun only said that he would come today, but did not say when. Everyone stood there and waited for two hours. Fortunately, they had already gathered their energy successfully and had magic power to support them, so they would not feel tired even if they stood for another two hours.
After another half an hour, Elder Sun suddenly raised his head, looked at the sky in the distance, slowly stood up, and said, "Here I come."
The crowd, who had been waiting a little impatiently, trembled, stood up straight immediately, and their expressions became solemn.
Four streams of light streaked across the sky and landed on the high platform in front of the square.
All the disciples couldn't help but look over there. The four figures on the platform would decide their lives today.
Li Yu also glanced at the platform and saw clearly the four people falling from the sky. From left to right, they were a white-haired old man, a fat woman, and on the far right were two young men and women. The man had an ordinary appearance, even below average, but he had an extraordinary temperament. He was talking and laughing with the woman next to him.
The last woman, with her beautiful eyebrows and curvy figure, not only had an outstanding appearance, but also a proud figure. She was not inferior to Senior Sister Zhou at all, and was even better by half a point.
She was talking perfunctorily to the man beside her, but her eyes were scanning the disciples below, as if she was looking for something, and finally stopped at Li Yu. Li Yu looked at her and naturally looked away...
With a casual glance, Li Yu discovered that the woman on the stage was also looking at him.
Not only was she staring at him, she was even licking her lips...
