Chapter 848 Innocence
The young man in black looked only twelve or thirteen years old, with a delicate face and a not-so-outstanding figure, but his eyes were very bright.
When he saw An Zizai squinting his eyes, he was so scared that he quickly lowered his head, thinking that he had offended his master.
Soon, the Wu Shi disciples in the hall also noticed An Zizai's gaze. They all stopped talking and looked at the young man in black in surprise.
The other new disciples also became nervous. They could feel the subtle atmosphere, which made them nervous. Could it be that they would be kicked out after entering Wu Shi? "What's your name? Why do you want to join Wu Shi?"
An Zizai spoke with an indifferent tone, which made all the disciples feel great pressure.
Everyone's eyes were on the young man in black, including the new disciples, which caused the young man in black to feel a lot more pressure.
He raised his head cautiously, but when faced with An Zizai's gaze, he lowered his head again in fear and replied in a trembling voice, "My name is Wuxie, and I was born in Yangcheng. I grew up listening to the legend of Wushi. I want to be Wushi's disciple and become a figure like the master."
Yangcheng is a city on the Jiuling Continent. Although it is not prosperous, it is also famous.
An Zizai could naturally deduce Wuxie's background, but he just wanted to hear what Wuxie had to say.
Judging from his origin, there is nothing suspicious about Wuxie, as if he was born to be Wu Shi.
To this day, Wu Shi recruits disciples from the Jiuling Continent. Today, the Jiuling Continent is rich in spiritual energy, and the talents of the creatures it breeds are higher than those in the Tianling World, just like the Immortal Dynasty before.
All the creatures in the Jiuling Continent aspire to become disciples of Wu Shi, and joining the Wu Shi sect is absolutely the supreme honor.
Even though the Jiuling Continent is very harmonious, there are still open and covert struggles behind the scenes. If a Wu Shi disciple appears in a family, the status of the family will rise.
Wuxie was born into an aristocratic family. Both he and his family hoped that he could become Wushi's disciple.
Wu Xie felt panicked at the thought that he might be persuaded to leave. He wanted to slap himself. Why did he stare at the master just now? At the same time, he also had a trace of resentment in his heart. Although he was rude, he didn't mean it. He was just too excited.
An Zizai's eyes were complicated. His reason told him that there was nothing wrong with Wuxie, but Wuxie made him feel very uncomfortable. He couldn't tell where this discomfort came from.
He inexplicably thought of what his master had said many years ago, that great disaster would be born from the beginningless.
Because of the master's words, he had more stringent standards for recruiting disciples, and he would meet each new disciple in person.
An Zizai took a deep breath and looked at everyone staring at him. He knew he couldn't do anything rash.
"From now on, you are all Wu Shi disciples. Remember, Wu Shi disciples must not interfere in worldly affairs unless the world is in trouble. Fellow disciples must not harm each other. If you are found, your cultivation will be abolished and you will be sent to reincarnation."
An Zizai said expressionlessly. He shifted his gaze away from Wuxie and scanned all the new disciples.
Upon hearing this, a Wu Shi disciple hurriedly said, “Hurry up and kneel down to thank the Grandmaster!”
The new disciples were overjoyed and knelt down to thank An Zizai.
An Zizai waved his sleeves, signaling them to leave.
The Wu Shi disciples left with their apprentices, and soon, only An Zizai and a fourth-generation disciple were left in the hall.
This fourth-generation disciple is named Haiyuan. He is An Zizai's most capable younger generation and helps him manage Wu Shi.
Haiyuan was wearing a green Taoist robe, his hair was black and white, and he had a scholarly and elegant temperament.
He frowned and looked at An Zizai, and asked, "Uncle Master, what's the problem with the disciple named Wuxie?"
It was the first time he saw An Zizai showing such an attitude, and it was towards a new disciple.
"Haiyuan, do you remember the beginningless disaster I once talked about? I have a hunch that this disciple named Wuxie is the disaster, but he has not made any mistakes now. I cannot punish him, let alone drive him away." An Zizai said in a complicated tone.
Hai Yuan had heard about this matter. These words came from the mouth of the ancestor, and he also believed them without a doubt. After hearing An Zizai's judgment, he did not hesitate, but said seriously: "Uncle Master, if it is difficult for you to handle it, I can do it for you. I will drive him out!"
An Zizai glanced at him and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.
This nephew is very similar to Zhuang Xian, except that Zhuang Xian only believes in justice, while Hai Yuan only believes in him.
“Forget it, let’s wait and see. If Wu Shi is destined to be a disaster, even if we drive him away, another one will appear. Why don’t we cultivate him seriously and see if we can defeat the destiny that our master mentioned.”
An Zizai smiled, sweeping away the previous gloom, and even showed anticipation in his eyes.
Just now he observed that Wuxie was very talented, and seemed to have some kind of powerful physique. When he stood there, he felt the presence of Tao approaching him. This was a talent that other new disciples could not compare to at all.
If such a disciple can be kept under constant watch and trained well, he may become the first of the new generation.
When Hai Yuan heard this, he did not agree.
He felt that his uncle underestimated people's hearts, but he was embarrassed to say it out loud.
Hai Yuan secretly decided that he must keep a close eye on Wu Xie in the future. If Wu Xie behaved inappropriately, he would persuade his uncle to expel him from Wu Shi.
On the other side, Wuxie had already gotten over his nervousness. He followed behind his master, listening to his master's introduction to the mountains along the way, his eyes full of longing.
He finally became a disciple of Wu Shi! He must not bring shame to his family. He will become the most powerful person in Wu Shi in the future, and even make the legendary Wu Shi Patriarch proud of him.
Little did he know that the Master he was thinking of was hundreds of miles away.
Gu An was sitting by the lake fishing. Although Wu Shi had more and more disciples, his aura was ethereal and divine thoughts could not capture him. Only when they came right in front of him could they discover him, so he was always able to be quiet.
He was also paying attention to Wuxie.
"Interesting, they were able to reach the dojo. Although the process was tortuous, they are indeed very capable."
Gu An muttered to himself with a faint smile on his face.
There is nothing wrong with Wuxie, but there is a problem with Wuxie's ancestor. When his ancestor was alive, he was invaded by the luck of the Emperor of the Great Dao and had been dormant ever since. Later, he joined the Jiuling Continent and passed on this luck.
Gu An noticed this a long time ago, but he didn't care. He even looked forward to what would happen in the future.
He had no resistance to the Emperor of the Dao, but unfortunately, the Emperor of the Dao disliked him.
"The destiny of the Great Dao is not limited to you and me."
Gu An recited slowly, at this time, the fishing rod began to shake, he immediately straightened his back and began to pull the fishing rod.
After a struggle, he pulled the fishing rod back, and on the hook hung a translucent goldfish. They were transformed from the spiritual energy of the lake. They were different from living creatures, but they had their own intelligence. He called them lake spirits.
The lake spirit struggled on the fishhook. Gu An took it off and threw it back into the lake, then continued fishing.
