boom!
There was a muffled sound.
Li Heitan raised his head.
He watched as the martial arts arena appeared in front of him.
On the martial arts field, the sturdy old man bowed to Qin Luo and saluted, "Are you Taoist Master Qin?"
"Dragon and Tiger Temple, Qin Luo."
Qin Luo nodded towards the old man.
The white-haired old man was overjoyed and said, "Taoist Master Qin, I am Tang Jingyuan, the deacon of Daxia Sword Sect."
Li Heitan looked shocked. He didn't expect Qin Luo, who had been following him, to be the boss.
Tang Jingyuan looked at Li Heitan next to Qin Luo, chuckled and said, "Taoist Qin, do you know this kid?"
"know."
Qin Luo smiled slightly.
Li Heitan mustered up his courage, his eyes full of expectation, "Senior, can you give me a chance?"
Tang Jingyuan nodded cheerfully, "Since you know Taoist Master Qin, I'll give you another chance."
"Thank you, senior, thank you, brother!"
Li Heitan kowtowed to Qin Luo and Tang Jingyuan.
Qin Luo squatted down and said softly: "If you fail the assessment, go home and study hard, okay?"
"good."
Li Heitan wiped his tears with his sleeves. He knew that Tang Jingyuan was dismissive of him at first, and it was Qin Luo's appearance that gave him the opportunity to take the assessment.
"Get up."
Qin Luo reached out and helped Li Heitan up.
Tang Jingyuan took them to the middle of the martial arts field. He smiled and said, "Stand in front of the white jade monument."
Li Heitan looked excited, and when he walked towards the white jade monument, his body trembled unconsciously.
Tang Jingyuan injected his spiritual power into the white jade stele, and then the stele released a soft light. Li Heitan's meridians and bones were reflected in the stele.
Tang Jingyuan looked at the white jade stele, he frowned slightly, shook his head and sighed softly: "I'm sorry, you don't have spiritual roots and can't pass the examination of Daxia Sword Sect."
Li Heitan looked dull.
His dream is to become a swordsman.
Qin Luo patted Li Heitan on the shoulder, "Our destiny cannot be determined by this stone tablet. Thirty years to the east of Hedong and thirty years to the west of Hexi. Where there is a will, things can come true!"
Hope rekindled in Li Heitan's eyes.
Tang Jingyuan smiled and said: "You have good bones and are very suitable for martial arts training. I can help you write a letter of recommendation. You can use the letter of recommendation to go to Daxia Martial Arts Academy to practice martial arts."
Li Heitan said with firm eyes: "I have decided that I will study hard and become an official in the future."
Qin Luo chuckled and said, "I'll take you home."
"Need not!"
Li Heitan picked up the small bookcase again, picked up the wooden stick and waved goodbye to Qin Luo, "Brother, thank you. My family lives in Dashi Village. If you come to my house as a guest in the future, I will treat you to pig head meat."
"OK."
Qin Luo smiled and nodded.
Li Heitan turned around and ran towards the darkness.
Qin Luo looked at his back and said softly: "Qingfeng Mingyue, please give him a ride."
The grass rippled, a breeze rose from the ground, and then a bright moon illuminated the earth.
A gust of breeze picked up Li Heitan and took him into the air. Li Heitan clenched the stick in his hand. He was frightened at first, but soon he experienced the joy of riding the wind.
Li Heitan turned around and shouted loudly: "Brother, you are more powerful than the grandfather in our village!"
Qin Luo gave him a thumbs up.
Tang Jingyuan watched from the side, the shock in his eyes was beyond words. He could mobilize the breeze and the moon with just one mouth, which even the ancestors of Daxia Sword Sect couldn't do.
Tang Jingyuan's face was filled with a smile, "Taoist Master Qin, the Daxia Sword Sect will hold a sect ceremony tomorrow. Elder Li specially told me that you are welcome to come and watch the ceremony."
"Then excuse me."
Qin Luo cupped his fists to show respect.
Tang Jingyuan waved his hands repeatedly and laughed loudly: "Taoist Master Qin, it is our honor that you can come to watch the ceremony."
While talking.
The martial arts arena slowly rose.
Tang Jingyuan put away the white jade stone tablet in the middle of the martial arts arena. When the martial arts arena appeared in the clouds, it was surrounded by roads extending in all directions, and countless pavilions and palaces appeared in front of him.
On a floating island not far away, a group of junior disciples of the Great Xia Sword Sect were practicing the sword formation. They were preparing for the sect's grand ceremony tomorrow.
"Taoist Master Qin, please come this way!"
Tang Jingyuan took Qin Luo to a quiet bamboo forest courtyard. There was a pond in the middle of the courtyard, with a bright moon reflected in it. There was an exquisite pavilion near the pond.
"Taoist Master Qin, please sit here for a while, and I will inform Elder Li!" Tang Jingyuan said with a smile.
"good."
Qin Luo nodded and chuckled.
Qin Luo came to the pavilion and sat down. He raised his head. It was closer to the starry sky. He stared at the starry sky, and the starry sky also stared at him. The yard was filled with bright moonlight.
Not long after, Li Jianwei and the two old men came to the small courtyard where Qin Luo was. The tall and thin old man had a childlike face, wore a white robe, and had a restrained aura, just like an ordinary old man.
The burly old man had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and was wearing a red robe. He exuded tyrannical pressure and showed his sharp edge.
The tall and thin old man nodded with a smile, "I, Qiu Wuji, am the head of Daxia Sword Sect."
The burly old man looked at Qin Luo, and then said: "I am Duan Shifang, the great elder of Daxia Sword Sect."
Qin Luo stood up, cupped his fists and saluted, "Junior Qin Luo, I have met all the seniors."
Qiu Wuji and the others came to the pavilion.
Li Jianwei held the tea in his hand and said enthusiastically: "Taoist Master Qin, please have some tea."
Qin Luo took the tea cup, and the strong fragrance of tea filled the yard. He picked up the tea cup and said, "Senior, please!"
Qiu Wuji picked up the tea cup and drank tea, "Please!"
Qin Luo took a sip of the hot tea. The rich tea fragrance filled his mouth, making him feel refreshed. "This tea smells so good. I wonder what kind of tea it is?"
Qiu Wuji smiled and said: "This is ambergris tea. The tea leaves come from the tea trees born in the dragon's cave. It contains rich spiritual substances and is very suitable for enlightenment."
“It’s really good tea.”
Qin Luo drank a lot of tea along the way. This cup of tea is not so rich in levels, but it tastes good.
Qiu Wuji narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Taoist Master Qin, I heard that you are going to the capital to discuss Taoism. What do you think about the struggle between heaven and man?"
Qin Luo held the tea and smiled slightly, "I want to maintain the balance between humanity and heaven."
Duan Shifang shook his head and said seriously: "This is unrealistic. If you want to maintain the balance between humanity and heaven, you must at least have the power to balance the left and right."
Qin Luo chuckled lightly, "Sometimes the wings of a butterfly can stir up a storm. Our power should not be underestimated."
Qiu Wuji nodded in agreement, and said with a serious expression: "Master Qin, your idea is very good. If the balance you want cannot be achieved in the end, what will you choose?"
Qin Luo thought briefly while holding the teacup, "If my idea fails, I will choose humanity in the end."
"good!"
Qiu Wuji laughed.
Li Jianwei and Duan Shifang both nodded.
Qiu Wuji cupped his hands and clasped his fists, and apologized: "Daoist Master Qin, tomorrow is the sect ceremony of Daxia Sword Sect. We still have many things to do, so we can no longer accompany you."
"Sect Master Qiu, go and get busy!"
"Taoist Master Qin, take a rest early."
Qin Luo nodded slightly.
Qiu Wuji and the others left the small courtyard.
Qin Luo sat in the pavilion. He slowly closed his eyes and listened to the sounds of everything in the world.
After Qiu Wuji and the others left the small courtyard, Li Jianwei asked softly: "Sect Master, how should we arrange the position of Taoist Qin to watch the ceremony."
"First seat on my right."
Qiu Wuji didn't think much about it.
Duan Shifang looked surprised and said: "Sect Master, there will be powerful men from all forces coming to watch the ceremony tomorrow. Isn't it inappropriate to give him the first seat?"
Qiu Wuji's eyes narrowed slightly, "Not to mention the seat on the right hand side, he can even sit in my seat."
Hearing this, Li Jianwei and Duan Shifang remained silent. Even a strong man like Qiu Wuji, who has half a foot in the sword immortal realm, recognized Qin Luo. His strength can be imagined.
The next day.
The sun rises.
The sea of clouds was dyed golden.
The Daxia Sword Sect's defensive formation was temporarily closed, and strong men from all over the world came to watch the ceremony.
Qin Luo sensed many familiar scents. He thought of Hua Ying and wondered if she would come to watch the ceremony.
Li Jianwei came to Qin Luo's small courtyard and said, "Taoist Master Qin, please follow me to the viewing platform."
"Thank you, Elder Li."
Qin Luo followed Li Jianwei to the viewing platform.
