Yuqing Hall is quite far from Caixianju where Ye Cheng lives.
In the mountains and forests, due to the terrain difference, it seems to be close at hand, but the route becomes winding and winding.
Accompanied by Aunt Yuzhen and Senior Sister, Ye Cheng went to Yuqing Hall.
Along the way, I met many Taoists from Chongyang Temple.
Without exception, these Taoists all set their sights on Ye Cheng.
Ye Cheng's size is so large that it is far larger than its kind.
Although he is only about 1.7 meters tall when standing straight, he is below average height among humans.
But he is a white ape.
He practiced sword fighting and ape striking every day and became much stronger than ordinary white apes.
You can definitely use those gorillas from previous lives as a reference.
Although not to that outrageous level.
But Taoist Aunt Yu Zhen and Senior Sister looked very petite standing in front of Ye Cheng.
Moreover, Taoist Aunt Yu Zhen's disciples and brothers consciously or unconsciously promoted Ye Cheng's reputation in Chongyang Temple.
A white ape can read and read, which is a bit rare in itself.
More than half an hour later, the two of them finally arrived outside the Yuqing Palace.
Looking at this ancient palace-style building full of Taoist charm, Ye Cheng felt inexplicably nervous.
After all, he was about to meet Zhenren Yuyang.
Outside the hall, stood a man in black robes, carrying a broad sword on his back.
As soon as he saw the two people and the ape, he hurriedly greeted them.
The limping on his feet was very obvious.
"Junior sister Yun...Long...junior sister Yu Zhen...this...is...little...bai...right?"
The Dique Taoist spoke with a smile on his face, but his words were incoherent and stammering, which made it sound uncomfortable.
Before coming, Taoist Aunt Yu Zhen told Ye Cheng about the three major disciples of Master Yuyang.
Ye Cheng suddenly understood that the person in front of him should be the Di Que Taoist.
My feet are a little lame.
He also stuttered very badly.
Judging from the appearance alone, this Dique Taoist master is tall and has strong features. At first glance, you can tell that he is a very straightforward person.
It's a pity that he has some physical defects.
"Senior brother Dique, this is Xiaobai, please excuse me."
Aunt Yu Zhen said quickly.
As she said this, she looked at Ye Cheng, ready to give Ye Cheng another warning.
Since Xiaobai was learning ventriloquism, she and the senior sister could not follow him in.
Ouch!
Ye Cheng suddenly called out to Taoist Master Dique, and then performed a less than standard Taoist ritual.
The more he sees it, the more he learns it.
Since he wants to learn ventriloquism from Master Yuyang, he must behave more humanely.
Taoist Aunt Yu Zhen and Senior Sister were both stunned for a moment.
Didn't they teach Xiaobai how to behave?
This etiquette is the most common meeting etiquette among Taoists in Chongyang Temple.
The man in black robe was even more shocked.
This white ape is indeed extraordinary.
He immediately smiled slightly and returned the greeting to Ye Cheng.
It was as if Ye Cheng was regarded as a fellow Taoist.
The actions of the Dique Taoist immediately made Ye Cheng's favor increase greatly.
Being able to return a greeting to a white ape, this Earth Que Taoist's character must not be too bad.
"Two junior sisters... don't worry, you... can come... at the right time. ...take...Xiao...Bai, if...you are...relaxed...you can...let...it... ..This... period of time will be spent in the... Jade... Qing Palace."
Di Que Taoist said.
"Senior brother Dique, I'd better pick up Xiaobai on time every day."
Aunt Yu Zhen said.
If Xiaobai wasn't around, she would really be reluctant to leave.
She missed it a lot when she was doing road-keeping tasks outside.
Moreover, she knew that Xiaobai was cautious and timid, and if she was not by his side, something might go wrong.
"That's...ok..."
The Dique Taoist nodded, and then said to Ye Cheng: "Xiao, Xiaobai, you...come with...me..."
"Xiao Bai, remember to listen to Senior Brother Dique. I will come to take you home in the evening."
Aunt Yu Zhen said comfortingly.
Ye Cheng howled a few times, nodded, and then followed Taoist Dique into the Yuqing Hall.
In order to behave more like a white ape, he naturally turned around every step of the way.
Taoist Aunt Yu Zhen felt a little worried when she saw this scene, and really wanted to stay with Xiao Bai.
Senior Sister saw Junior Sister Yu Zhen's thoughts and said, "Junior Sister, don't worry, Xiao Bai is very smart."
"I know, it's just that Xiaobai rarely contacts people he doesn't know alone..."
Aunt Yu Zhen nodded and stood at the door for a while before reluctantly leaving with Senior Sister.
...
Inside the Yuqing Hall.
As Aunt Yu Zhen and Senior Sister completely disappeared from Ye Cheng's sight, Ye Cheng took a deep breath and tried to appear calmer.
However, he couldn't help but look around.
The interior of the building feels empty.
The decorations on both sides are mainly sculptures of various weapons.
It gives people a more or less depressing feeling.
Walking down the long corridor, there were only the footsteps of one person and one ape, making it seem empty and quiet.
No wonder it is said that Yuqing Hall is the place that people don’t like to come to during the Double Ninth Festival.
Because being invited here means that you have violated the rules and regulations.
After passing several palace gates, turning left and right, we finally came to a side hall.
Continue to the Jade Palace.
This is the name on the plaque.
"Teacher, your little... white belt... is here."
Entering the hall, Taoist Dique said after saluting a figure sitting cross-legged on a cloud bed in the depths of the hall.
"Well, you go out."
A low and depressed voice sounded.
This was obviously not spoken with words, and there was a strong sense of cavity vibration, which made the air in the entire hall vibrate, surrounding Ye Cheng, as if forming a 360-degree three-dimensional surround sound.
"Xiao Bai, don't be afraid, my master is very kind..."
When Di Que Taoist left, he did not forget to comfort Ye Cheng.
Ye Cheng just wants to roll his eyes and be kind?
Just this gloomy environment and terrifying sounds give people a sense of depression and suffocation.
Especially the vague figure hidden in the darkness gave him a very strong sense of invisible oppression.
After the Dique Taoist left, the hall became quiet again.
Suddenly, a burst of rhythmic footsteps sounded.
Immediately after, a slightly older man in gray robe walked out of the darkness.
Ye Cheng's heart tightened and he did not dare to look at the old man in gray robe.
Although the other party's eyes were not sharp, the invisible aura made him uncomfortable.
Needless to say, this person must be Zhenren Yuyang.
"Sure enough, he is not an ordinary species."
Master Yuyang nodded lightly, "Not only did he practice the Chongyang Sword Technique, but he also seemed to have developed inner energy. He is so understanding of human nature, no wonder he can read and read."
When Ye Cheng heard Master Yuyang's comments, he felt even more nervous.
The senior sister could tell that he had practiced swordsmanship, but she couldn't tell that he had inner energy.
It can be seen that Master Yuyang has much better eyesight than Senior Sister.
"Training martial arts as a white ape complements each other, but I don't know how high my future achievements will be."
Master Yuyang made a few more comments, then changed his tone and said, "Your name is Xiaobai. Since you want to learn ventriloquism, you must have sufficient knowledge. Next, I will test your understanding. Come with me."
Then he turned and walked towards the side door.
Ye Cheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, so he followed him obediently.
Judging from the tone of Master Yuyang, although his expression is slightly serious and his aura is stronger, it does not seem to be as scary as the rumors say.
Of course, maybe he just saw it.
One person and one ape entered a room.
This is a study room, complete with all kinds of books, the four treasures of the study, etc.
Next, Master Yuyang tested Ye Cheng's understanding.
However, Ye Cheng was very cautious and held back his understanding.
After all, he is now a white ape.
Not really human.
If he behaves like a human being, will Master Yuyang be suspicious?
He would not reveal everything in front of Taoist Aunt Yu Zhen, whom he trusted the most. Now that he was in front of the completely unfamiliar Yuyang Zhenren, he had to hide himself even more.
People's hearts are unpredictable.
When you go out, you must learn to protect yourself.
After a long time, Master Yuyang completed the comprehension test on Ye Cheng.
He nodded and said: "Xiao Bai, although compared with real humans, your understanding is still a little behind, and learning ventriloquism will be more difficult. However, what I like most is the challenge of difficulty. If I can teach you ventriloquism, It’s also very fulfilling.”
His ventriloquism is dull and weird, but his words are clear.
How difficult his life was, but he was able to get to where he is today only because of his perseverance and hard work.
In his opinion, nothing is difficult in the world, as long as there are people who are willing.
He was confident that he could teach a white ape ventriloquism.
A white ape that could talk, understood human nature, could read and read, and even practiced martial arts... He was looking forward to it just thinking about it.
Ouch...
Ye Cheng shouted a few times quickly, and after making a few gestures, he seemed to be very excited, and then he saluted Master Yuyang.
Seeing the happy look of the white ape, Master Yuyang couldn't help but reveal a rare smile.
He always remained serious in front of others.
But now in front of a white ape, that's not necessary.
No matter how smart and understanding animals are, they are very simple and will never be as scheming as humans.
In front of the White Ape, he didn't need to hide or pretend anything.
Ye Cheng was surprised to see Master Yuyang smiling.
It turns out that Master Yuyang also has a kind side.
You can't pretend to be in front of a white ape like him, right?
"Xiao Bai, please sit down first. Next, I will explain to you the principles of ventriloquism in detail. If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask questions."
Master Yuyang said gently.
Ye Cheng quickly sat down obediently, as if he had returned to the classroom in his previous life, listening to the teacher's teachings with great seriousness and not daring to be distracted at all.
Master Yuyang began to explain.
He was concerned that Ye Cheng was a white ape and had insufficient understanding, so he spoke very straightforwardly and simply. During the explanation process, he would also ask Ye Cheng if he understood.
This teaching method completely feels like teaching primary school students who have just started school.
After a long time, Ye Cheng finally had an intuitive understanding of the ventriloquism created by Master Yuyang.
This ventriloquism was still different from what he understood.
It is not simply a sound produced from the abdomen, but a combination of abdominal sound production, vocal cord adjustment, and external air vibration... The most important of which is the use of internal air in the entire ventriloquism process.
According to Master Yuyang, if Ye Cheng had no internal energy, it would be very difficult to learn ventriloquism. Even if he learned it, he would not be able to speak clearly.
After understanding the principles of ventriloquism, Ye Cheng was very moved. It was really difficult.
If he were allowed to create his own, I'm afraid he might not be able to do it in ten or twenty years.
Finally, Master Yuyang taught Ye Cheng an abdominal pronunciation technique, which involves the use of internal energy and requires repeated practice.
If there are any problems, he is still there to give guidance.
In this way, it took two or three hours for Ye Cheng to barely master it.
"Xiao Bai, after you go back, you must keep practicing. If you come tomorrow, I will teach you new ones."
Master Yuyang said.
Ye Cheng nodded, and then the Dique Taoist who came in took him away from Yuqing Hall.
Outside the hall, Aunt Yu Zhen was already waiting.
"Senior Brother Dique, I'm sorry to bother you."
When she saw Ye Cheng coming out, nothing seemed to have changed. She immediately breathed a sigh of relief and quickly greeted the Dique Taoist.
"Junior sister Yu... Zhen... what's the trouble? Tomorrow... Xiao... Bai... will be sent away... ...Just come here..."
The Dique Taoist tried to slow down as much as possible so as not to speak too hesitantly.
"Senior Brother Dique, let's leave first."
After Taoist Aunt Yu Zhen finished speaking, she turned around and left with Ye Cheng.
While walking on the road, Aunt Yu Zhen asked Ye Cheng some information.
Ye Cheng responded positively through gestures.
"Xiao Bai, then you have to study hard."
Aunt Yu Zhen understood Xiaobai's gestures and was very happy. It seemed that Master Yuyang was really teaching Xiaobai ventriloquism.
Ye Cheng nodded repeatedly.
After returning to the mountain area where Caixianju was located, Ye Cheng suddenly stopped. In front of him was a large dense forest, covered with various large trees.
He usually practices the ape attack technique in this forest.
He just practiced the ape attack technique this morning.
If you come to Yuqing Hall to learn ventriloquism in the afternoon, you won’t have time.
It is estimated that this will be the case for some time to come.
At this moment, he felt itchy and wanted to climb and leap happily in the woods.
If you walk, you have to make a big circle.
But if you go directly through the woods, the distance will be shortened a lot, and Caixianju is on the other side.
"Xiaobai, what's wrong?"
Aunt Yu Zhen asked curiously when she saw Ye Cheng stop.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch..."
Ye Cheng shouted a few times, then pointed at the woods and made some gestures.
"You want to go straight through the woods? That's fine. You can go home anyway."
Aunt Yu Zhen smiled and said.
But Ye Cheng started gesticulating again.
Taoist Aunt Yu Zhen understood that Xiaobai wanted to compete with her to see who could return home first.
"OK."
Taoist Aunt Yu Zhen chuckled, showing her white teeth.
Suddenly, Ye Cheng howled and ran quickly towards the woods.
"Xiao Bai, you little naughty boy, even if I ask you to run first, you will definitely be faster than you."
Aunt Yu Zhen laughed and quickly chased after him.
On the flat ground, her cultivation was higher, and with You Xubu's light body, it was still very easy to catch up with Xiaobai.
But it's different when you enter the woods.
When she rushed into the woods almost at the same time as Xiaobai, Ye Cheng jumped up suddenly, stepped on the tree trunks, and leaped between the trees, dodging left and right, with flexibility to the limit, as if walking on flat ground, and the speed was astonishingly fast. .
Perfectly avoiding all obstacles.
Aunt Yu Zhen, who was flying on the ground, was able to flexibly avoid various obstacles, but her movement speed was still reduced.
A few minutes later, Taoist Aunt Yu Zhen's eyes lit up and she rushed out of the woods.
But she found that Xiaobai had already climbed onto the big welcoming pine tree at the entrance of Caixianju more than ten meters away.
"Xiao Bai, your speed is too fast."
Aunt Yu Zhen was extremely surprised.
It stands to reason that the distance between the ground and the tree should not be much different, and there are also various obstacles.
But Xiaobai was faster than her, even much faster.
Putting this in a battle, the advantage would be extraordinary.
Whoosh!
Ye Cheng grinned, jumped down from the pine tree, landed in front of Taoist Aunt Yu Zhen, and then walked into Caixian Residence one by one.
Night falls.
After dinner, Ye Cheng was in the yard, practicing the abdominal pronunciation technique repeatedly.
After a long time, Ye Cheng felt that his internal energy was greatly depleted and he could no longer continue.
He tried not using his inner energy, but there was no way he could do it.
"Xiao Bai, stop practicing and go to sleep."
After taking a bath, Aunt Yu Zhen walked out in her pajamas and said to Ye Cheng.
Ye Cheng practiced ventriloquism late at night and the sounds he made were weird.
If someone heard it, they would think something strange happened in Caixianju.
Ouch...
Ye Cheng shouted and immediately ended the practice.
The next morning, Ye Cheng first practiced ventriloquism pronunciation, then practiced sword fighting and ape striking, and finally practiced spiritual cultivation by the water pool. The schedule was very tight.
There isn’t as much free time as there used to be.
The main reason is that he has to learn ventriloquism in the afternoon, so he can't waste time.
Moreover, when he practiced the art of spiritual nourishment, he deliberately extended the time.
After all, I can't practice in the afternoon, so I can't come at night.
It was very remote there, and it was pitch dark at night so he didn't dare come there.
In the afternoon, accompanied by Taoist Aunt Yu Zhen, he came to Yuqing Hall again.
"Very good, Xiaobai. It seems that you have practiced hard after you returned."
Master Yuyang checked Ye Cheng's ventriloquism pronunciation and immediately showed satisfaction.
Animals like white apes are very naughty, and he didn't plan for Xiaobai to practice after returning.
But I didn't expect that this Xiaobai was really extraordinary. He actually practiced after returning home.
He felt that the possibility of this newbie learning ventriloquism was greatly increased.
"Next, I'll teach you the second abdominal pronunciation...."
Master Yuyang continued.
Ye Cheng quickly pricked up his ears and listened carefully like an obedient student.
In the next more than half a month, Ye Cheng would go to Yuqing Hall on time every day to learn ventriloquism from Master Yuyang.
Starting from abdominal articulation techniques, then to vocal cord adjustment, and finally to external air vibration.
The vocal cords are the most troublesome.
This involves the vocal cords in the larynx, which must be stimulated with internal air.
Since Ye Cheng is an ape, his vocal cords are different from those of humans.
Master Yuyang personally used internal energy to find out the state of Ye Cheng's vocal cords and formulated a set of internal energy stimulation plans.
Ye Cheng practices hard every day, day and night.
He never failed to master the Chongyang Sword Technique (revised), the Ape Strike Technique, and the Spirit-Calming Technique.
Although every day is very busy, the days are very fulfilling.
This morning.
The morning light rises in the east.
Under the mountains, white mist shrouded.
Ye Cheng is practicing swordsmanship with Taoist Aunt Yu Zhen.
One person and one ape, quickly interweaving.
The white shadow transformed by Ye Cheng is surrounded by Taoist Priestess Yuzhen, but Taoist Priestess Yuzhen has excellent swordsmanship and forms a sword net to defend her tightly.
From this situation, it can be seen that Aunt Yu Zhen can no longer suppress Ye Cheng.
Instead, Ye Cheng used his superb ape attack technique to force him to defend with all his strength.
Suddenly, Ye Cheng, who was moving at high speed, felt as if a blessing spirit had come to him. His inner energy surged, and the long sword in his hand suddenly accelerated. With more than ten strikes in a row, a hole was torn open in the sword net formed by Taoist Zhen. .
brush!
Taoist nun Yu Zhen failed to defend herself. She only felt her wrist shaking. She found it difficult to hold the sword and was knocked away by a huge force.
Bang!
The sword fell to the ground.
The Wuwang sword in Ye Cheng's hand narrowly missed Taoist Priest Yu Zhen's arm.
Even so, the invisible sword edge cut open the sleeves, leaving a bloody mark on the skin.
Ye Cheng quickly retracted his sword and couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the injured Taoist Priest Yu Zhen.
He didn't expect that he would suddenly break through with his sword skills, so he subconsciously used them all.
Ye Cheng quickly threw away the Wuwang Sword and ran to Taoist Aunt Yu Zhen, wanting to see her arm.
"It's not a problem, it's just a scratch."
Taoist Aunt Yu Zhen disagreed, and then said in surprise: "Xiao Bai, did you break through with your swordsmanship just now and complete the combo?"
With a little skill in swordsmanship, you can form a combo effect.
This kind of combo can unleash several dozen or even dozens of burst attacks at once.
Just now she was hit by this kind of combo, which made her unable to defend herself.
"Ouch..."
Ye Cheng shouted and nodded, with excitement in his eyes.
He has indeed achieved a breakthrough in swordsmanship.
It was such a wonderful feeling.
It's as if he and the sword have become one, and the burden of causing the explosion of sword skills is greatly reduced.
However, dozens of attacks in a row consumed a lot of his internal energy.
Now his inner energy has almost been depleted.
Ye Cheng was filled with emotion, thinking that his inner energy cultivation would break through faster.
After all, the improvement of inner energy cultivation is more intuitive and can be measured by the strength of inner energy.
But the realm of swordsmanship is a bit mysterious, and it depends entirely on feeling.
Who would have thought that the first thing he would break through would be swordsmanship.
"Xiao Bai, I won't be able to beat you in the future."
Aunt Yu Zhen sighed and said.
She witnessed Xiaobai's growth with her own eyes. From practicing swordsmanship, to deriving inner energy, to mastering swordsmanship, Xiaobai... came step by step in less than two years.
"Jiliguala..."
Ye Cheng picked up the sword, tried to make strange sounds in ventriloquism, and made some gestures with his hands.
Aunt Yu Zhen smiled and said, "Xiao Bai, are you saying you want to protect me in the future?"
Ye Cheng nodded repeatedly with firm eyes.
Aunt Yu Zhen was not only his benefactor, but also his closest relative in the world.
Taoist Aunt Yu Zhen had rescued him from the mouth of a beast before, took him in, protected him, and given him a safe and stable living environment.
From now on, he will also protect Taoist Aunt Zhen with the sword in his hand.
This was a promise he made silently in his heart.
