Chapter '5 Preposition

"I heard that you have been hanging out with Senior Brother Zhang these days?"

"Um. "

"He took the initiative to find you?"

"Ah."

"Competing swords every day?"

"Ah."

"Wow, how did you do that?"

"who knows?"

Yu Ci was blocked by Li You for interrogation, sitting on a chair unable to move, with a helpless expression on his face.The voices of the two were already very low, but compared to the quiet environment around them, they still seemed a bit noisy, making all the monks passing by look at them with strange eyes.

The reason for this attitude is because this is Lingxiao Pavilion!

At this time, Li You still didn't let him go, and leaned forward and asked, "Tell me, at least let me understand, where did Senior Brother Zhang get so much energy? His ten years of sword practice before can't compare to these few days." day……"

Yu Ci called out "Mother" in his heart, and pointed to the person next to him who was dozing off with his head down, it was Zhang Yan.He smiled wryly and said, "Senior Brother Zhang is right here, Senior Brother Li, if you want to figure it out, why bother to look far away?"

"Don't bring something like this!"

Li You was very dissatisfied: "Our friendship is much stronger than that of Lao Zhang, so it shouldn't be too obvious that we like the new and dislike the old, right?"

However, because of his flying style, when he said this, he lowered his voice so as not to wake up Zhang Yan.In fact, although Li You is just Cardinal Ding Ding, he is not as senior as Zhang Yan, but the two of them have similar realms, and the latter has been together for decades, so the outcome of a real fight is unpredictable.

It's just that Zhang Yan's current state of mind is very strange.Relying on the spiritual sense of cultivator Huandan, Li You felt that it was better not to provoke him.

The more this happened, the more curious he became.He didn't understand what kind of tricks Yu Ci had used to make Zhang Yan, who was almost incurable, have iron trees bloom, dead trees bloom in spring, and old clams produce pearls... Bah, bah, bah, bah!

When Li You was thinking wildly, footsteps sounded.

Both of them heard the identity of the person, they were silent for a while, and they both stood up, and even Zhang Yan, who had been dozing in the corner, opened his eyes.

A thin old man with gray beard and hair walked slowly from among the tall bookshelves next to them, and sat down at the table in front of them without even glancing at them.

Yu Ci and Li You looked at each other and smiled wryly. In the end, Yu Ci took a step forward and saluted, "Mr. Zhu."

This time Yu Ci took out his precious practice time to Lingxiao Pavilion, not to chat with Li You, but to make an apology.

He competed swords with Zhang Yan that day, and the living room suffered a catastrophe. All the items inside were shattered by the sword energy, and the "Introduction to the Sword Classic" was also included.This scripture was borrowed from Lingxiao Pavilion before he entered the Fatian Secret Realm for retreat.As his disciple in the outer room, he was able to borrow books from Lingxiao Pavilion, and it was such a voluminous work, all thanks to the jade board that Mr. Zhu gave him.I didn't expect it to be destroyed within a few days after I bought it.What if you don't come to make amends?

Although Mr. Zhu ignored them, he couldn't see how angry he was. He just flipped through the records on the table. Yu Ci took this opportunity to explain the cause and effect, and sincerely apologized, willing to listen to Mr. Zhu.

Regarding this, Mr. Zhu downplayed it: "A "General Theory of Ruhua Sword Classic" is not an isolated copy, and it is nothing. Since you are in the Department of Demonstration, use good deeds to pay for it. This book is worth [-] good deeds. Five thousand, you just hand it in."

"Uh……"

Yu Ci could see that Mr. Zhu really didn't care about the loss of a book, and he didn't deliberately make things difficult for him, but the more he did this, the more embarrassing he became.What is the concept of fifteen thousand good deeds?The Zongmen's first-class alchemy "Taiqing Jin'ye" Shendan Jue is only [-] good deeds on the list of good deeds.

Of course, the number of good deeds in this series is not an untouchable large number for the elite disciples of the mountain gate. As long as they often go to Tongde Hall, receive some relatively difficult good deeds news, and save for ten or eight years, that is, up.I want Yu Ci to take it out now...

Mr. Zhu didn't know how much trouble Yu Ci had caused by his casual words, so he quickly changed the subject: "I want you to prepare for the Hanzhang Fahui, how are you preparing?"

Yu Ci was still having a headache over the number of [-] good deeds, he was stunned for a moment before recovering, and looked at Li You again, Fang said: "I know very well that my family is inferior and my qualifications are shallow. I am preparing to go to the Sword Garden to practice and accumulate some reputation so as not to lose your old face."

"Oh, then I have to thank you."

Old Mr. Zhu flicked his gray beard lightly, with a half-smile on his face: "Jianyuan, hehe, are you so sure that going to Jianyuan will save my face?"

"This one……"

Yu Ci didn't know the meaning of Mr. Zhu's words, Fang hesitated, and then heard the old man say: "The Hanzhang Fa Conference will be around the end of the year, and the sword garden will open in November. If everything goes well, it's fine. There is a slight accident and oversight. , you may not be able to catch up."

"Disciple must be cautious." Yu Ci replied.

"Of course it's good to be cautious. It's okay for me to recommend you to go. You have a reputation and you can make friends better. But have you thought about one thing: Although the Hanzhang Fahui is a clean place, there are always discussions and exchanges. If you go, take Why go to discuss with others? Discuss the classics? Explain the meaning and discuss the mystery? Or...discuss how to draw a sword to kill?"

Yu Ci was dumbfounded. Only then did he realize that the old gentleman seemed quite dissatisfied with him going to the sword garden, and even practicing swordsmanship?

He glanced at Li You, and wanted to talk about this way, but the person next to him strongly supported it.As expected, Li You's face was a bit embarrassed, but he was still unconvinced, so he muttered: "Who dares to despise you if you can walk out of the sword garden?"

"That's why your Demonstration Department is always embarrassing at the Hanzhang Fa Conference!"

Old Mr. Zhu was really not polite at all, he glanced at Li You coldly: "In terms of influence, the Sword Garden attracts sword cultivators from all over the world, and if you make a little move in it, it's really easy to become famous It will be much worse than that. However, at the Xiaohanzhang Fa Conference, can Jianyuan give you the 'pre-seat' places specially prepared for the high-level Fa Conference 30 years later?"

Li You immediately became tongue-tied and speechless.

Seeing his strange appearance, Yu Ci was also surprised: "What is 'preposition'?"

"The so-called 'pre-seat' is to reserve a seat for you in the highest-level meeting"

The one who answered him was Zhang Yan who had been crouching in the corner all the time. He raised his face, and his voice was a little strong: "Junior Brother Yu should fight for it. The Xiao Han Zhang Fa Conference is held every four years, and each time he proposes three, total Thirty places are submitted, and once they are successful, they will be registered at the Hanzhang Law Conference at the level of the whole practice world, and become one of the 'Three Thousand Heroes', that is, rising stars who are highly anticipated in the practice world, and naturally they are the core disciples of the sect... ...that's it!"

Together with Li You, he suddenly realized: "This is a shortcut to gain entry!"

Yu Ci's heart skipped a beat, is this what Mr. Zhu's intentions are?From an outer disciple to an indoor disciple, and from then on to live in the mountain gate... This is a great favor!

Mr. Zhu was noncommittal about their judgment, but stared at Zhang Yan for a long time, and said: "Your habit of gambling is dead, and the demons in your heart are rooted, and there is no possibility of getting rid of them. I originally thought that you It's over, but I didn't expect that you still have this trick to survive... In the end, you are finally going to bet on your own life?"

Zhang Yan smiled slightly: "I thought about it before, but there is no exact way. I would like to thank Junior Brother Yu for his guidance."

"What are you talking about?" Li You yelled, with an exaggerated gesture, just to ask for clarification.

At this time, a soft and calm voice rang in their ears: "Senior Brother Zhang has regained his life, congratulations."

As soon as Zhang Yan turned around, he grinned: "It's really gratifying, at least after changing the betting method, it won't be that easy for Junior Sister Meng to catch me facing the wall in the future."

It was Meng Wei who spoke, she arrived here at some unknown time, she was still dressed in a black Taoist robe, she was holding a dust whisk, she approached slowly, and saluted everyone, with all the courtesy.Finally, he said to Mr. Zhu: "I took this object according to the master's order."

As she spoke, she took out a disc-shaped object from the storage ring and handed it to Mr. Zhu. Before people could see what it was, she turned her face and looked at Zhang Yan and said, "Vigor is certainly gratifying, but Zhang Yan Brother, I don’t agree with giving up the orthodox Taoist sect and changing to the heart demon.”

Zhang Yan laughed: "It's all about seeking common ground while reserving differences."

He didn't want to talk too much on this topic, so he simply stood up and said, "I still have something to do, let's take a step first... Junior Brother Yu, I'll wait for you in the Ten Thousand Laws Secret Realm."

Seeing Zhang Yan walk out of the room, Li You frowned: "What's the matter, is it really the method of the inner demon?"

Meng slightly nodded: "Brother Zhang has taken the initiative to report to the Discipline Academy, and we will discuss it after the teachers return."

As she said that, she turned her gaze to Yu Ci, and her eyebrows stretched: "No matter what, it is a merit that Junior Brother Yu can bring back Senior Brother Zhang's vitality."

Yu Ci smiled, but didn't say anything.

The so-called "Inner Demon Diligence Method" is a way to rapidly increase one's cultivation base.This method is different from the orthodox qi refining technique of Xuanmen. Not only does it not clean up the demons in time, it even uses various methods to guide the demons to stimulate the potential of the person, achieving the effect of rapid development.

"This is no longer the Dao of the Golden Core of the Xuanmen, but has the characteristics of evil skills... Is this the direction Zhang Yan is turning the rudder in?"

Be sure to ask clearly when you look back!

Just as Yu Ci made a decision, old Mr. Zhu over there brought the topic back:

"Don't talk about these digressions. Yu Ci, do you know what this is?"

Aren't you the one who said "digression" first?Yu Ci slandered, but still looked intently, and after just one glance, he yelled out "heh":

"Amulet!"
