Chapter 97: Ruyi Judge Bagua Plate
"Wait a minute!" Lingxiang suddenly spoke up and stopped Zhenren Qianyuan.
Zhenren Qianyuan's heart tightened, thinking that this little girl was up to something again. Even Zhenren Zhaoming shuddered all over - this little junior sister just made him feel uneasy.
Lingxiang was now walking back and forth in front of the disciples, saying, "Don't say I didn't warn you, or you'll end up being vicious and gossiped about. All the magical weapons in this second cave have either gathered spirits and become beings with minds of their own, or they hold resentment that is extremely difficult to control. But considering your exceptional talents, I'm worried you'll miss out on weapons and magical treasures that can truly harmonize with your spirits, so I'm standing up for you. I'm not afraid of offending your Fifth Uncle, as he's deeply concerned about me. But you might not be able to escape safely, so..."
Lingxiang said this and stood together with the elders again.
"Given that some of you are direct disciples of the sect elders, even if you are inner disciples, you are still promising talents. Naturally, they don't want you to make any mistakes, but they also hope that your future cultivation will be smoother. That's why they agreed to my willfulness. So, let me be frank: if any of you don't want to risk your lives, you don't need to enter again. The elders will naturally arrange suitable magical weapons for you. No one will think you are cowardly. After all, 'Wuwei' is also a part of Taoist cultivation."
Having said this, Lingxiang turned and looked at Zhenren Qianyuan.
"Brother, do you think there's anything wrong with my arrangement?"
Zhenren Qianyuan smiled when he heard this. Mo Kan Lingxiang had embarrassed Fifth Junior Brother a little just now, but now she spoke like this, and her words were full of protection. He really didn't know what to do with this little Junior Brother.
"Just as your Nun Fu Cang said, please make a bold decision."
Zhenren Zhao Ming naturally didn't think much about it. Although Lingxiang was always aggressive towards him, she would also protect him and establish herself in front of the sect disciples. He was of course aware of this and naturally never took it to heart - he loved this little junior sister so much that how could he bear to blame her.
However, it is still very heartwarming that my junior sister can think of me.
With this in mind, Master Zhao Ming pretended to clear his throat and stepped forward, saying, "Since your Second Uncle-Master has said so, then let's do it this way. If anyone wants to go in and select special forces, then come with me."
As soon as Master Zhaoming finished speaking, a disciple walked forward carelessly. He first bowed to the elders, then walked up to Master Zhaoming, saluted, and stood still.
Lingxiang didn't expect that even after she said this, someone would make a decision so quickly. She originally thought that this group of disciples would discuss it with each other.
I remember this disciple's name seemed to be Shan Huai...
Seeing Shan Huai approaching so recklessly, Cheng Yu wanted to call him, but was stopped by Shu Zhu who was standing beside him.
"Why are you pulling me?"
"Do you think you can stop him? Or do you not intend to go?" Shu Zhu didn't say much, just asked these two questions, then stepped forward and saluted and stood still.
Cheng Yu did choose a longsword, but it wasn't so much a choice as a random grab. After entering the first cave, he looked around but didn't see anything that suited his taste. However, he figured weapons were useful in any way, so he grabbed a longsword from the cave entrance before leaving. But now, after hearing Lingxiang's explanation, he was really tempted to give it a try.
Thinking of this, he also stood up.
Lingxiang naturally did not say those words in front of the disciples on purpose, but she just wanted to walk up to Xinyi and hint at him. Xinyi naturally received Lingxiang's hint, and although he was puzzled, he still walked forward according to her wishes.
Qian Yuan Zhenren had never imagined that twelve of his thirteen disciples would actually be willing to enter the second cave. He gave a look to Zhao Ming Zhenren, who then led them back into Xuan Cang Cave.
After the twelve disciples entered the cave, the last remaining person seemed extremely strange. However, this last person obviously had no such thoughts and stood there calmly.
This person was none other than Banxia, who was taken into the Qinsi Hall by Elder Donghui.
This was quite interesting. Seeing her standing there alone, and Elder Donghui seemingly unconcerned, Qianyuan Zhenren approached her and asked, "The other fellow disciples are willing to enter the cave again, why don't you go?"
Upon hearing this, Banxia hurriedly bowed and replied calmly, "In response to Master Qianyuan's words, I have already chosen an item, so I have decided not to go in and choose again."
Lingxiang saw that Banxia had become much calmer after not seeing her for many days. On the one hand, she admired Banxia very much, and on the other hand, she became interested in Elder Donghui's way of teaching.
Thinking of the three apprentices she accepted... they were really...
When Master Qianyuan heard Banxia say this, he was a little puzzled. He glanced at Elder Donghui, who stood with his eyes closed, and then asked, "Someone just chose a weapon and went in to choose again. Why didn't you choose a new one? Don't you understand what Sister Fucang said?"
Banxia bowed again upon hearing this. "Uncle Qianyuan, I understand what Sister Fucang meant, and I'm not entirely satisfied with the item I've chosen. But I believe this is just like how one cannot choose their family background after reincarnation. Just because one falls into a poor family, one shouldn't cry and beg for a second chance. The same goes for a magic weapon. Now that I've chosen it, I won't despise it, but rather accept it. I'll open my heart to it and treat it with sincerity."
Although his remarks were somewhat vulgar, they were praised by all the elders present.
"Great! Hahahaha..." Qian Yuan Zhenren smiled, turned to Dong Hui Zhenren and said, "Fourth Junior Brother, you have received a good disciple!"
Only after hearing this did Master Donghui open his eyes.
"Second Brother, you're joking. She's still young and will have to rely on her uncles and aunts for many things in the future!"
Lingxiang was a little unhappy when she heard this. She pouted and asked, "Why? Does Fourth Senior Brother look down on me, Ninth Senior Aunt?"
A joke immediately made all the elders laugh.
After Qian Yuan Zhenren finished laughing, he turned to Banxia and asked, "What did you choose?"
Upon hearing this, Banxia took out something from her arms and presented it with both hands. When Zhenren Qianyuan saw it, he was shocked.
The object in Banxia's hand looked like nothing more than a brush. On the top of the brush, where the string hung, there was an eight-diagram plate attached to it, and on the pen shaft were five words written...
Ruyi Judge’s Pen!
And the Bagua plate on the top of the pen is also extraordinary!
Banxia actually chose two magic weapons at once!
