After two days of rest, Bai Mengjin followed Ling Bufei to the academy for classes.
Hua Wusheng considered that she had already learned from a teacher and didn't need to get started, so he asked her to stay with Ling Bufei - it didn't matter what she studied, the important thing was to integrate into the sect.
Before setting off, Bailixu asked: "Master, do you want me to come with you?"
Ling Bufei waved his hand: "Uncle Song is giving a public sermon today. Don't miss it. I'm not alone. What should I be worried about?"
The Master Song he talks about is Wuchen Sword Song Zhiyi, a leader in Wuji Sect swordsmanship. In the academy, it is usually Nascent Soul monks who teach, and in rare cases, Elder Transformation God comes out to give lectures. Baili Xu majored in swordsmanship, so this opportunity was very rare.
Baili Xu was very happy: "Yes, thank you sir."
The three of them took a flying boat and landed on a low peak with a relatively flat mountain and beautiful scenery. Baili Xu said hello and went to attend the kendo class.
This Taoist Temple is quite interesting. It is not a complete building, but relies on various caves dug out of the mountain. It is a bit like returning to nature.
Bai Mengjin followed Ling Bufei around, and finally climbed up a huge rock.
"In the early years when the founder founded the sect, he found that there were caves all over the place, which were both dry and breathable, so he used them as a school..."
Ling Bufei stopped: "We're here."
Bai Mengjin raised her eyes and saw that the cave was wider than she imagined. There was a skylight cut out of it, which was very bright. The cave is flat and most of the disciples are already sitting there.
As soon as they came up, almost everyone's eyes turned here, but no one came to say hello.
Ling Bufei didn't look sideways, chose a seat near the back, and led Bai Mengjin over.
The disciples passing by on the road all saluted respectfully: "Young Sect Master."
Bai Mengjin sat down after him, feeling that the atmosphere was a bit strange.
These disciples respected the young sect master, but they were also very distant, as if they were strangers, and excluded him.
She turned her head and looked over. Ling Bufei's expression was calm, and he was unpacking his book bag.
"Do they usually treat you like this?" she asked.
Ling Bufei groaned and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Bai Mengjin gestured twice: "No contact?"
Ling Bufei snorted: "I just listen to the lectures for free, what are you doing with me? If you want to build friendship, others will say flattery, and if you discuss the homework, I can't practice it, it's all in vain."
It made sense, Bai Mengjin nodded lightly.
The young sect master's status is too high, but he is also a useless person who cannot practice cultivation. It is not good to treat him lightly or seriously, so it is better to stay away from him.
No wonder he doesn't have a friend by his side. Although he has Baili Xu, his way of getting along is more like a master and a servant, not like a friend.
Not long after, the Master arrived.
This master is a talisman master, wearing a large Taoist robe, with a serious expression, and it is difficult to talk at first glance. Seeing that Ling Bufei was present, he only glanced over and went to class as usual.
What surprised Bai Mengjin was that what the master said was quite profound and involved the production of high-level spiritual talismans.
When the classwork came to an end and the master asked everyone to practice on their own, Bai Mengjin asked: "Do you understand?"
Ling Bufei spread out the talisman paper and practiced slowly while replying: "It's just rote memorization. My uncle asked me that I don't need to be able to draw talisman, but I can tell the origin and usage of each talisman when I see it."
This requirement is actually very high, because the talisman is to communicate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and you will only know the mystery after trying it. He couldn't try it at all. No matter how many times he memorized it, he still couldn't understand its meaning. However, the content was extremely obscure.
Bai Mengjin was about to say more when he suddenly heard the master knock on the chime and said sternly: "If you don't want to go to class, you don't have to come. If you come here and waste your time, where do you think I am from the Wuji Sect?"
Bai Mengjin didn't take it to heart at first, but suddenly realized that everyone was looking over here and was stunned for a moment.
Is the master talking about Ling Bufei or her? It seemed like it was her, after all, Ling Bufei was still practicing.
The master said sternly: "Practice is a matter of hard work. If you can't bear the boredom and loneliness, why not just go to some fairy city to enjoy the prosperity. Some people don't enter the sect based on their own qualifications, and they don't know how to cherish it after they come in. If that's the case, why bother taking this class? Why don't you just stay at home and be a young lady!"
When these words came out, they were simply insults.
Ling Bufei frowned and looked at the Master unkindly.
He rarely puts on the airs of the young sect leader within the sect, but if he scolds him so harshly in front of him, do he really think he is a dead person?
Just as he was about to speak, his wrist was pressed. Bai Mengjin stood up and asked warmly: "Master, are you talking about me?"
The master didn't expect that she would dare to stand up, and couldn't help but look at the little woman's face with admiration.
"Why, do you still want me to address you as young lady? Or do you want to file a complaint in front of the sect leader, saying that I bullied you?"
Bai Mengjin lowered his head: "I don't dare. This disciple respects the Master very much, and it is for the sake of the Master that he stands up."
The master frowned: "What nonsense are you talking about! Stop messing around."
No matter how bad his attitude was, Bai Mengjin always had a warm and gentle smile on his face, and continued: "When I look at Master's behavior, he must be a person who hates evil and can distinguish right from wrong. I know that Master has misunderstood, but I don't stand up to clarify. In the future, Master Knowing the inside story and blaming myself, isn’t it my fault?”
The master laughed angrily: "You have a lot of lies! Okay, I'll listen to your reasons. Why don't you pay attention to the class? Everyone else is practicing, and you don't even take out the talisman paper. How can you be a student?" !”
Bai Mengjin replied: "Master, forgive me. I don't practice. It's not because I don't want to, but because I can't."
The master didn't believe it at all: "What can't be done? It's just that your foundation is not solid. At worst, it will fail to make the talisman. Don't excuse yourself!"
Bai Mengjin sighed silently: "Since Master said so, how about I make a talisman in front of you?"
Although the Master didn't know what she was up to, after thinking about it, there would be no consequences, so he agreed: "Okay."
Bai Mengjin pulled out a piece of talisman——
"Wait a minute, come over and make it. Just use my talisman paper and talisman pen." Master said. If you make a talisman under his nose, you don't believe anything will go wrong.
Bai Mengjin gave Ling Bufei a comforting look and walked to the master's desk.
Standing in this position, she could clearly see the expressions of the disciples. Some people gloated, some had nothing to do with themselves, and some were surprised and curious.
Bai Mengjin knelt down calmly, picked up the talisman pen on the case, dotted the ink, and dropped the ink. Then with a twist of the wrist, the pen moves like a dragon or a snake, all in one go.
This skill is quite skillful, but why doesn't the spiritual energy fluctuate?
As soon as this idea passed through Master's mind, there was a sudden "boom", and a vicious black dragon emerged from the talisman and swept away at the people around him.
