Zhou Wenyi gave Mu Jingyu a few more words before turning and leaving.
Fan He returned to his seat at the top of Zhishou Hall, glanced below, then pointed to the center back seat and said, "Jingyu, please sit there first."
There were about thirty children sitting in Zhishou Hall. There are men and women, most of whom are between eight and nine years old. They are all new outer disciples of the Jiuhua Sect who were admitted to the mountain three months ago.
The place Fan He pointed at was a small open space among the group of outer disciples. The other disciples looked at where Fan He was pointing, and all looked at Mu Jingyu with different expressions. Some of them frowned, while others lowered their heads and chuckled. It seems like a not so good place.
After Mu Jingyu nodded in response, he took a futon from Fan He and walked over after everyone else.
Compared to the rest of the place, only this place seems a little spacious. It's just that the few teenagers sitting here seemed a little dissatisfied with Fan He's arrangement.
A slightly fat young man frowned and muttered a few words in a low voice, then took the lead and reluctantly moved his buttocks to make way for a small space.
"Thank you very much."
Mu Jingyu also noticed that these young men didn't seem to welcome him, but it was hard to show it since he was here and unfamiliar with the place.
As soon as he put down the futon and sat down, Mu Jingyu felt a faint fragrance coming from beside him. He turned around unconsciously and saw a girl beside him, looking at him curiously.
"Hey, young man, what's your name?" The girl looked at Toshiro Mu Jingyu, unconsciously leaned slightly closer, and asked in a low voice.
"Oh, this sister, my name is Mu Jingyu."
Mu Jingyu couldn't help but tremble when he saw that although this girl was only eight or nine years old, her face was extremely well-behaved and her eyes were as bright as crescent moons. He hurriedly replied in a low voice, then turned his head, not daring to take another look.
"Hehe, you actually called me sister. Do I look older than you?" The girl chuckled, and then said, "My name is Su Yingying. I am only nine years old this year. From now on, we will be from the same school."
Su Yingying said with a joking smile, secretly stretched out her left hand and patted Mu Jingyu's palm to shake hands with him.
Mu Jingyu's face turned red. He had grown so big. Apart from several skin-to-skin kisses with Bi Yun, this was the first time that another girl took the initiative to hold his hand.
"New kid, please be honest with me! If you dare to have any wrong thoughts about Yingying, I will definitely let you get out of Jiuhua Mountain!"
Suddenly, a threatening voice came to his ears. The fat young man who had just made room for him was staring at him fiercely.
Since he came out of Cangmang Mountain, Mu Jingyu has come into contact with all the top figures from Yaowei Palace and Zhengdao sects. There are many fierce characters, but he has never been subdued. He was suddenly threatened by a young man about his age, and his temper suddenly rose.
Randomly replied with a dull expression, "What, is this Miss Su Yingying your fiancée? She can't even say a few words to me, but she can't control her?"
The fat boy looked startled. Ever since he entered Jiuhua Mountain, no boy had ever dared to speak to him like this. You know, he is the eldest son of the Han family in the Frozen City of Xihanyuan Prefecture among the lower nine sects.
Ever since the Han family laid its foundation in Frozen City, it has been attached to Jiuhua Mountain. Once the young people in the family reach the age of eight or nine, they will be sent to the Jiuhua Sect. They will start practicing as an outer disciple and continue to the peaks to become an inner disciple of the Jiuhua Sect.
And this fat boy is Han Yao, the only son of Han Wenyuan, the head of the Han family. Since Han Wenyuan was sent to Jiuhua Sect three months ago, he has been under the care of several coaches from Shaoyang Peak. In addition, there are several other disciples of the Han family who obey his orders. Therefore, he is a bit arrogant and domineering here.
The young men in Zhishou Hall did not know his identity at first, and those who occasionally had some conflicts in their words were secretly taught a lesson by him and his disciples of the Han family.
Apart from these ordinary teenagers, the only one who can compete with him is this girl named Su Yingying. You must know that this Su Yingying is not an ordinary disciple, but a child saved by Master Chiyang of Yuntai Peak when he was out on a tour in the mountains. After bringing her back to Jiuhua Mountain, she was regarded as her granddaughter.
Although Su Yingying is just a girl from an ordinary family, her talent is extraordinary. She has shown great talent in cultivation at a young age. Therefore, he is not only loved by Master Chiyang, but also highly regarded by Jiuhua Sect. She has been taught strictly since she was a child, and she is also a leader among the young people of the Jiuhua School.
As soon as Han Yao entered Shaoyang Peak, Han Wenyuan secretly told him to capture Su Yingying. As long as he can establish a relationship with Master Chiyang of Songxiao Peak, it will be of great benefit to him in the future.
It's just that although he has good qualifications, his stature and appearance are not outstanding. Even though he had been trying to please Su Yingying overtly or covertly for the past three months, he still didn't get her attention. Every time, it's just a waste of time and humiliation in front of others.
Fortunately, Han Yao is also a very thick-skinned person. Instead of retreating despite the difficulties, he relies on the strength of the crowd. Whether he is listening to the sermon in the Zhishou Hall or practicing in the mountains, forests and wilderness, he will attract the rest of his disciples. They were driven aside to give Han Yao and Su Yingying some space to be alone.
Not only that, Mu Jingyu will appear out of thin air today. Fan He, the coach of Zhishoutang, placed him between him and Su Yingying, cutting off the seats where the two could get along.
If it weren't for seeing that Zhou Wenyi personally sent this young man, Han Yao couldn't figure out his details for a while, so he didn't dare to make a mistake and had to tolerate it for the time being.
However, as soon as Mu Jingyu sat down, Su Yingying pulled him to ask questions and seemed very enthusiastic. How could Han Yao be able to endure it anymore? I wanted to take advantage of the strength of the crowd and give him a few words of warning to make him retreat. Unexpectedly, Mu Jingyu not only did not back down, but actually fought back in person!
Han Yao was choked and speechless for a moment, and cursed secretly in his heart, if I take down Su Yingying, it will be your turn to run against me now!
Since entering Zhishoutang, none of these young men has been subjected to secret tricks and suffered hardships. Now that he was defeated by a boy who had just arrived, his face suddenly turned red.
He glanced around secretly and saw that several teenagers around him had heard what was going on here. Seeing that he was defeated, they all showed a sarcastic smile, and they were even more angry.
"Boy, you have the guts! We have a long way to go. When we suffer in the future, we will know what I can do."
It was now the time for Fan He to preach and teach. Han Yao couldn't get angry in public, so he could only suppress his anger and squeeze out a few harsh words through gritted teeth.
Mu Jingyu's expression was as usual, looking at Fan He who was preaching in front of him, completely ignoring Han Yao's danger, as if he didn't take him seriously.
Su Yingying secretly extended her thumb and praised in a low voice, "Don't be afraid Mu Jingyu, if he dares to bully you, sister, I will definitely protect you."
When Han Yao heard this, his chest tightened with anger. He took a few deep breaths and then suppressed his anger.
"The sky is clear, and the sun hangs above it. All light and light things are on it, and are regarded as yang. The earth is turbid, and dark things are thickly hidden. All yin, cold, and deep things are inside it, and they are regarded as yin. I Those who seek immortality and enlightenment should sense all things in the yin and yang of heaven and earth and absorb the essence of heaven and earth. Through continuous cultivation, they can reach the state of integration with all things in heaven and earth, use them for their own use, and release their energy to achieve the way of heaven."
The more than thirty people under Fan He are all young men who were newly recruited into the mountains three months ago. Except for a few people such as Han Yao and Su Yingying who have some background, the other teenagers are basically from ordinary families. Although I am quite interested in cultivating immortals on weekdays, I don't have the guidance of a famous teacher. I don't even know the basics of cultivating immortals, let alone a little foundation.
Therefore, Fan He's Zhishoutang must first instill some basic cultivation foundation into these young people. After one year, after they have successfully entered the Concentration Stage and the Heart and Soul Meeting, they can enter a higher level to practice.
Throughout the morning, Mu Jingyu sat in Zhishou Hall, listening carefully to Fan He's lectures and teachings. Although Su Yingying came to him to whisper to him several times, Han Yao on the other side only glared angrily from time to time. Mu Jingyu didn't want to get into trouble for nothing because of a girl, so he had to deal with it occasionally.
For three days in a row, Fan He taught him the foundations of Heavenly Dao in Zhishou Hall, but rarely mentioned how to practice. Mu Jingyu only thought about cultivating quickly, but gradually he lost his temper.
Fortunately, Zhou Wenyi came to visit Mu Jingyu from time to time in the past few days. Tell him that he must not be too hasty in his spiritual journey. If you do not know what Taoism is, you will encounter considerable obstacles in your future practice.
Mu Jingyu listened to Zhou Wenyi's explanation and understood the key. Finally, I suppressed my eagerness and listened carefully to the sermon.
However, now the young people in Zhishou Hall have been listening to Taoism here for three months, and they have already understood it more thoroughly. Mu Jingyu had never heard of it, so he was often confused by Fan He's explanations. Fortunately, Zhou Wenyi had given him a little extra attention in the past few days, so he could barely keep up.
In the afternoon of this day, after taking their lunch break, many young people stood in front of Zhishou Hall. There were many people who were usually close to each other, standing together in small groups, chatting excitedly.
Mu Jingyu has been listening intently these days, but he has no good friends to talk to. Only Su Yingying has been pestering him. Although he wanted to ask her at this moment, Han Yao, who was standing in the middle of the crowd, kept looking at him with a vague expression. In order to avoid trouble, Mu Jingyu had no choice but to hold back the doubts in his heart.
After half a stick of incense, Fan He walked over from the bluestone road. When everyone saw the coach coming, they all stopped talking and consciously lined up in three rows and stood in front of Zhishou Hall.
Fan He stood on the steps, glanced at the young men, and then said, "Today afternoon, you will go to the mountains for training once every ten days. After discussing with Coach Wu, I decided that today's training topic is to go to Shaoyang Peak Mountain." In the valley, clouds, pines and bamboos have been cut down.”
Wu Kangnian was the coach of Zunyi Hall, and like Fan He's Zhishou Hall, he taught these young people who had just joined the Jiuhua Sect.
This training every ten days is to strengthen the muscles, bones and bodies of these disciples. It's just that the training questions are different every time.
"Ah! I'm going to cut down the clouds, pine and bamboo!"
"My mother, that thing is so thick and hard that it will give us a headache even if we are new disciples, even those who have been here for a year."
"Yes, the last time I went to cut down Yunsongzhu, I was almost exhausted and could only cut down two and a half-year-old Yunsongzhu."
When these teenagers heard that they were going to cut down clouds, pine and bamboo, they couldn't stop complaining.
Mu Jingyu curiously asked a young man next to him, "Senior brother, is it difficult to cut down these clouds of pine and bamboo?"
The man showed a hint of fear and said, "Jingyu, you have just entered the mountain not long ago, so naturally you don't know how hard the clouds, pine and bamboo are. Disciples like us who have just entered Jiuhua Mountain can only barely complete the task until we are half exhausted."
"Is this Yun Songzhu really so tough?"
When Mu Jingyu was in Cangmang Mountain, he went into the mountains with his father to chop mangosteens. In his impression, most of those bamboos were no thicker than the mouth of a bowl. Although they were considered hard, they were far from being difficult to cut.
Not to mention these teenagers who have just entered the stage of concentration, even ordinary children can chop off a few sticks with a sharp hatchet.
The young man smiled bitterly and stopped answering.
Not far away, Han Yao heard that he was going to cut down Yunsongzhu, but he looked at Mu Jingyu, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, snorted a few times in his throat, tilted his head and whispered a few instructions to the people next to him. .
