"I heard that you have been hanging out with Senior Brother Zhang these past few days?"
"Yeah."
"He took the initiative to find you?"
"Yeah."
"Sword fighting every day?"
"Yeah."
"Zhaowa, how did you do that?"
"Who knows?"
Yu Ci was stopped by Li You for questioning. She sat on the chair unable to move, with a look of helplessness on her face. The voices of the two people were already very low, but compared to the quiet environment around them, they still seemed a bit noisy, causing the monks passing by to look at them strangely.
The reason for this attitude is because this is Lingxiao Pavilion!
At this time, Li You didn't let him go, and asked: "Tell me, at least let me understand, where does Senior Brother Zhang get such great energy? In the past ten years, he has practiced swordsmanship more than But these days..."
Yu Ci called out "Mother" in her heart and pointed to the dozing figure next to her. It was Zhang Yan. He smiled bitterly and said: "Senior Brother Zhang is right here. Senior Brother Li, if you want to understand, why bother to seek the distance when you are close?"
"No such thing!"
Li You was very dissatisfied: "Our friendship is much stronger than that of Lao Zhang. We can't be too obvious about liking the new and hating the old, right?"
However, with his flying spirit, he lowered his voice when he said this, so as not to wake Zhang Yan up. In fact, although Li You has just been appointed Cardinal and is not as senior as Zhang Yan, the two are at similar levels, and the latter has been wasted for decades. In a real fight, the outcome is unpredictable.
It’s just that Zhang Yan’s current mental state is very strange. With the spiritual awareness of the Dan Huan cultivator, Li You felt that it was better not to provoke him.
The more this happened, the more curious he became. He didn't understand what means Yu Ci used to make an almost incorrigible person like Zhang Yan make the iron tree bloom, the dead tree bloom, and the old clam grow pearls... Bah, bah, bah!
While Li You was thinking wildly, footsteps sounded.
Both of them heard the identity of the person, they were silent for a moment, and both stood up. Even Zhang Yan, who had been huddled in the corner and dozing off, opened his eyes.
A thin old man with gray hair walked slowly from the middle of the tall bookshelf next to him and sat down at the table in front of them without even glancing at them.
Yu Ci and Li You looked at each other and smiled bitterly. In the end, Yu Ci took a step forward and saluted, "Mr. Zhu."
This time Yu Ci spent her precious practice time at Lingxiao Pavilion, naturally not to chat with Li You, but to apologize.
He had a sword fight with Zhang Yan that day, causing a disaster in his room. All the items inside were shattered by the sword energy, including the "General Theory of the Sword Sutra". This scripture was borrowed from Lingxiao Pavilion before he entered the secret world of Fa Tian for retreat. As a disciple of his outer chamber, he was able to borrow books from Lingxiao Pavilion, and it was such a large work, all because of the jade tablet given to him by Mr. Zhu. Unexpectedly, it was destroyed within a few days of buying it. If you don’t come to apologize, what can you do?
Although Mr. Zhu ignored them, he could not tell how angry he was. He just flipped through the records on the table. Yu Ci took this opportunity to explain the cause and effect, and sincerely apologized, willing to listen to Mr. Zhu's instructions. .
In this regard, Mr. Zhu made an understatement: "A "General Theory of the Sword Classic" is not an isolated copy, and it is nothing. Since you are in the empirical department, use your good deeds to pay for it. This book is worth it. Fifteen thousand good deeds, just hand it over."
"Uh..."
Yu Ci could tell that Mr. Zhu really didn't care about the loss of a book, and he didn't deliberately embarrass him. But the more this happened, the more embarrassed he became. What is the concept of fifteen thousand good deeds? The sect's first-class elixir method, "Tai Qing Jin Ye Shen Dan Jue", only has 10,000 good deeds on the list of good deeds.
Of course, this level of good deeds is not an unreachable amount for the elite disciples of Shanmen. As long as they often go to Tongde Hall and receive some relatively difficult good deeds news, they can save it for ten or eight years. , that is. But I need Yu Ci to take it out now...
Mr. Zhu didn’t know how much trouble his casual words caused Yu Ci, so he quickly changed the topic: "I want you to prepare for the Hanzhang Dharma Conference. How are you preparing?"
Yu Ci was still having a headache over the number of fifteen thousand good deeds. Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses. He looked at Li You again and said, "Disciple knows very well that he is in a humble position and is looked down upon by others. I have little qualifications and am preparing to go to the Sword Garden to practice and gain some reputation so that I won’t lose face.”
"Oh, then I have to thank you very much."
Mr. Zhu gently twirled his gray beard, with a half-smile on his face: "Jianyuan, hey, are you so sure that a trip to Jianyuan can save my face?"
"This..."
Yu Ci didn’t know the meaning of Mr. Zhu’s words, so she hesitated and then heard the old man say: “The Hanzhang Dharma Conference will be around the end of the year, and the Sword Garden will open in November. If everything goes well, that’s all. An accidental oversight, you may not be able to catch up. ”
"Disciples must be cautious." Yu Ci responded.
"Of course it is good to be cautious. I have no problem recommending you to go. You will gain a reputation and it will be easier to make friends. But have you thought about one thing: Although the Hanzhang Dharma Assembly is a pure place, there are always discussions and exchanges. You go Why should we discuss the scriptures with others? Or...discuss how to draw a sword to kill someone?
Yu Ci was dumbfounded. Only then did he realize that the old gentleman seemed quite dissatisfied with him going to the sword garden or even practicing swordsmanship?
He glanced at Li You and said that this approach was strongly supported by the man next to him. Li You's face was indeed a little embarrassed, but he was still unconvinced, so he muttered: "Who dares to look down upon me if I can walk out of the sword garden?"
"That's why your empirical department always embarrasses people at Hanzhang Dharma meetings!"
Mr. Zhu was really not polite at all. He glanced at Li You coldly: "In terms of influence, the Sword Garden attracts sword cultivators from all over the world. It is indeed easy to become famous if you make a little move in it. The Xiao Hanzhang Law Conference is much inferior. However, can Jian Yuan provide the 'reservation' places specially prepared for the high-level Law Conference thirty years later?"
Li You was immediately speechless and speechless.
Seeing his strange appearance, Yu Ci was also surprised: "What is 'pre-positioning'?"
"The so-called 'reservation' means to reserve a seat for you at the highest-level Zhangzhang Dharma gathering"
The person who answered him was Zhang Yan, who had been sitting in the corner. He raised his face and said with a rare strength in his voice: "Junior Brother Yu should fight for it. The Xiaohanzhang Dharma Conference is held every four years, and each time he proposes three A total of thirty quotas were submitted. Once successful, they were registered at the Hanzhang Dharma Conference at the level of the entire cultivation world, and became one of the "Three Thousand Heroes", that is, a rising star that attracted much attention in the cultivation world. Naturally, they were sect members. The core disciples of the sect...that’s it!”
He and Li You suddenly realized: "This is a shortcut to get into the house!"
Yu Ci’s heart also jumped. Is this Mr. Zhu’s intention? From being an outer disciple to becoming a disciple, he has been living in the mountain sect forever... This is a huge favor!
Mr. Zhu did not comment on their judgment, but stared at Zhang Yan for a long time, and said: "Your habit of bad gambling is already in the end, and your inner demons are deeply rooted and will never be expelled. I originally thought that you would never be able to get rid of it in this life." It's over, but I didn't expect that you still have this trick to survive... In the end, the gamble will finally cost your own life?"
Zhang Yan smiled slightly: "I have considered it, but there is no definite way. I would like to thank Junior Brother Yu for his guidance."
"What are you talking about?" Li You yelled in an exaggerated manner, just to ask for a clear answer.
At this time, a soft and calm voice sounded in their ears: "Senior Brother Zhang is back to life, I am so happy and congratulated."
As soon as Zhang Yan turned around, he grinned: "It's really gratifying. At least after changing the gambling method, it won't be that easy for Junior Sister Meng to catch me facing the wall in the future."
It was Mengwei who spoke. She didn’t know when she arrived here. She was still dressed in black Taoist robes, holding a fly whisk, slowly approached, and bowed to everyone with thoughtful etiquette. Finally, he said to Mr. Zhu: "I took this thing according to your instructions."
As she spoke, she took out a disk-shaped object from her storage ring and handed it into Mr. Zhu's hands. Before anyone could see what it was, she turned her face again, looking at Zhang Yan and said: "Vitality is certainly gratifying. , However, I don’t agree with Senior Brother Zhang abandoning the authentic Taoism and using inner demons instead.”
Zhang Yan laughed: "It's just seeking common ground while reserving differences."
He didn't want to say more on this topic, so he simply stood up and said: "I still have something to do, so let's take a step first... Junior Brother Yu, I'll wait for you in the Secret World of Ten Thousand Fa."
Watching Zhang Yan walk out of the room, Li You frowned: "What's the matter, is this really a method to improve inner demons?"
Meng Wei nodded slightly: "Senior Brother Zhang has taken the initiative to report to the Discipline Academy, and we will discuss it after the teachers return."
As she spoke, she turned her gaze to Yu Ci and spread her beautiful eyebrows: "No matter what, it is a meritorious deed that Junior Brother Yu can bring back Senior Brother Zhang's life."
Yu Ci smiled without making a sound.
The so-called "Inner Demons Diligence Method" is a method for rapid growth of cultivation. It is based on the inner demons that are not calm and the cultivation is blocked. This method is different from the authentic Qi refining technique of Xuanmen. Not only does it not clean up the inner demons in time, it even uses various methods to guide the inner demons to stimulate the body's potential and achieve the effect of rapid progress.
"This is no longer the golden elixir path of Xuanmen, but has the characteristics of evil power... Is this the direction Zhang Yan is turning the wheel?"
Be sure to ask clearly later!
As soon as Yu Ci made a decision, Mr. Zhu brought the topic back:
"Don't talk about these digressions. Yu Ci, do you recognize what this is?"
Aren't you the first person to say "off topic"? Yu Ci cursed, but still looked intently, and with just one glance, he exclaimed "ha":
"Charm disk!"
