In front of the Dazhu Peak Shoujing Hall, Tian Buyi was pacing back and forth, his brows furrowed and a slightly anxious look on his face.
Until I heard a sudden sound of breaking through the air, I looked up and saw that Song Xing was coming back with two little ghosts.
From the looks of things, Tian Linger and the two of them seemed fine, but there was actually a gray-haired monkey lying on Zhang Xiaofan's shoulders, who didn't know where it came from.
Tian Buyi felt relieved now, but the anger on his face did not fade at all.
Zhang Xiaofan glanced at the master, feeling very nervous. He didn't dare to move, and lowered his head to his chest. However, the gray monkey was very naughty, and kept reaching out to scratch Zhang Xiaofan's head, as if he wanted to find something from there. Only lice come.
Tian Linger put away the amber scarlet silk, and out of the corner of her eye she saw her father standing in front of the hall with an angry face. He rolled his eyes a few times, smiled like a flower, and was so innocent and cute. He ran to Tian Buyi's side and pulled his hand. Hand said: "Dad, we are back."
Song Xing put down Zhang Xiaofan and stepped forward and said, "Master, I found my junior sister and junior brother in the dense forest in the back mountain."
Tian Buyi frowned: "What are you going to do there?"
When Tian Linger saw her father angry, she was not afraid at all. She smiled and said, "Xiaofan was bullied by a monkey when he was chopping bamboo. I went to catch it to help Xiaofan vent his anger. It was that monkey."
Now he roughly told what happened, and it was roughly the same as what Song Xing had expected before. Finally, he said: "...Later I chased him into the valley, I suddenly felt sick, and I fainted for some reason. When I woke up, I saw Xiao Fan He also fell to the ground, unconscious. When he woke up again, he saw Senior Brother there."
Tian Buyi frowned, turned to Song Xing, and said, "What's going on?"
Song Xing shook his head and said, "When I found the two of them in the back mountain, I went down to check them. There was nothing unusual."
Tian Buyi didn't say anything, but he made up his mind to visit the back mountain tomorrow.
As for the battle between Zhang Xiaofan and the gray monkey, he wasn't even interested at all. He went back to the back hall without asking anything.
After a while, Suru and He Dazhi also came back. Tian Linger smiled and stepped forward to say hello. Suru complained softly, and then went back hand in hand.
Seeing that the matter was over, Song Xing comforted Zhang Xiaofan for a few words. Seeing that his face was pale, he told him to get more rest, and then went back.
Since that day, more than half a month has passed. Zhang Xiaofan has been a beginner for three years, and he has officially bid farewell to the level of entry-level disciple.
However, most of his blood essence was sucked away by the blood-devouring beads, causing his strength to drop again. At the end of the three-year assessment, he managed to cut off a black bamboo with great effort, and Tian Buyi almost became angry to death.
From then on, he completely gave up on Zhang Xiaofan and no longer asked about his cultivation.
The originally deserted Dazhu Peak became lively because of the gray monkey Zhang Xiaofan brought back.
The big yellow dog that Gai Yintian kept was not very fond of monkeys. Whenever he saw a monkey, he would always bark and threaten him.
Dazhu Peak is very lively because dogs bark and monkeys hiss every day.
Song Xing paid no attention to the commotion on the peak. Apart from giving guidance to Zhang Xiaofan on his practice every few days, he stayed close to the door and concentrated on his practice.
So much so that Suru even tried to persuade him sideways that the way to practice would come naturally, and he couldn't just immerse himself in hard work.
Only Tian Buyi looked at Song Xing's increasingly stagnant aura, and looked at him with increasingly satisfied eyes.
In recent years, he has not deliberately tested the cultivation level of this great disciple, but he can also see that Song Xing's current cultivation level is becoming more and more unfathomable.
Tian Buyi is confident that even compared with the chief disciples of Tongtian Peak and Longshou Peak, his senior disciple may not be much inferior.
As the Seven Meridians Competition approached, the smiles on his face grew more and more.
Except for the unsatisfactory Lao Qi, the entire Dazhu Peak is prosperous and makes people feel happy.
During this period, several disciples who came down the mountain also returned to the mountain one after another. Apparently, they all found the materials they wanted to forge the magic weapon.
Only the sixth man, Du Bishu, was so sneaky that he forged the magic weapon into the shape of a dice. Suru was so angry that he gave him a lesson.
On this day, the sunshine was rare and warm on Dazhu Peak. Tian Buyi called all his disciples to the Jingtang Hall to prepare for the test.
Suddenly there was a burst of sound above the head, and two white lights came from the west and landed in front of the Shoujing Hall. After a burst of light flashed, two people appeared, one was tall and tall, handsome and elegant, with white clothes flowing. Extremely handsome.
The other person was a young man, shorter than him, about fifteen or sixteen years old.
Zhang Xiaofan suddenly held his breath, and a ray of sadness that had been forgotten slowly emerged from deep in his heart, because of that lonely-looking back!
"Jingyu?" He stood up, his voice became hoarse, and he called out.
The young man was shaken, and immediately turned around, his eyes widened, and his mouth opened wide, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, the thousands of words turned into only two words: "Xiaofan!"
"Qi Hao and Lin Jingyu, disciples of Master Longfeng Cangsong, pay their respects to Master Tian and Master Su."
In the Shoujing Hall, Tian Buyi and Suru were sitting in the upper seats, and the other disciples were lined up next to them. Two men in white clothes, Lin Jingyu and another handsome young man named Qi Hao, were greeting Tian Buyi.
Tian Buyi glanced at Qi Hao and then at Lin Jingyu. With his eyesight, he could see in a moment that the qualifications of these two people were far above those of his disciples.
Needless to say, Qi Hao has long been famous among the younger generation of Qingyun Sect, but Lin Jingyu is still young. From the fact that he can wield a sword just now, we know that he has at least reached the fourth level of Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao or above. , considering that he has only been started for three and a half years, this qualification is really amazing.
But when he thought of Song Xing, his disciple, his expression improved slightly. He looked at Qi Hao and asked, "What did your master ask you to do?"
Qi Hao cupped his hands and said: "Uncle Tian, our master Cangsong Zhenren has been entrusted by the master Daoxuan Zhenren to take care of various matters for the 'Seven Meridians Martial Arts' test two years later. Because there are some changes, I specially ordered Junior Brother Lin and I came together to report."
Suru smiled kindly and said gently: "What is the change you mentioned?"
Qi Hao said respectfully: "Reporting to Uncle Su, the thing is like this. In the previous years of the Seven Meridians Martial Arts Competition, there were four people from each of the Qingyun Sect's branches. In addition, there were four more people from Changmen Tongtian Peak, making a total of thirty-two. Count and draw lots for a duel, and the winner will advance. After five rounds, the final winner will be the leader of the younger generation of Qingyun Sect, and can be carefully cultivated by all the teachers."
Suru pursed her lips and smiled, with a graceful look, and said: "Speaking of the last big test, you were the one who stole the show. I remember you came in second place. If it hadn't been for that Xiao Yicai from Nagato, you might have won the prize. This is the Qingyun Sect’s top martial arts scholar.”
Qi Hao's expression remained unchanged and he said with a smile: "Uncle Su is too much of a reward. In the last big test, Senior Brother Xiao, the eldest disciple Xiao Yicai, is a genius and has profound cultivation. I am far behind. I am so convinced by the defeat that I have nothing to say."
Tian Buyi snorted coldly and said, "Okay, let's talk about the changes in this Seven Meridians Martial Arts Competition."
Qi Hao said: "My master believes that the purpose of the 'Seven Meridians Martial Arts' test is to discover the talents that can be made among the disciples of each branch and cultivate them. As for Qingyun Sect, there are nearly a thousand disciples under the sect, including the younger generation of new disciples. There are many talented people among them.”
"Thinking about this, there is only one opportunity in sixty years, and each lineage can only produce four disciples, which is really too few. Therefore, the master proposed that each of the seven lines should have nine disciples, with Nagato having the largest number, and one more. The number of people will be sixty-four. On this basis, as always, we will draw lots and compete for a total of six rounds to determine the winner. This can also avoid the regret of leaving a pearl in the ocean."
After finishing speaking, Qi Hao stood with his head lowered, as if waiting for Tian Buyi's reply.
To be fair, this new rule is not an advantage for the sparsely populated Dazhu Peak.
It is greatly beneficial to Nagato Tongtian Peak and Cangsong's Dragon Peak, which have the largest number of talents.
So Qi Hao originally thought that Tian Buyi would be furious after hearing this, but unexpectedly, after a while, the superior was silent.
Looking up, Tian Buyi was sitting at the top with an expressionless face, showing no emotion or anger at all. After a while, he said: "That's very good. I have no objection."
Suru turned her attention to Song Xing, the leader of the disciples. With Song Xing present in this Seven Meridians martial arts competition, no matter how the rules were changed, Dazhu Peak would definitely surprise the other Six Meridians.
Suru even couldn't wait to look forward to that day.
