In the huge Sword Palace, ten people wearing Sword Hall uniforms lined up, and in front of them was a familiar old man, who was Pang Qingyun, the master of the Sword Palace.

The ten disciples, nine men and one woman, were the ten students of the Sword Palace, and their uniforms were roughly similar to those of other halls, except for a sword embroidered on the cuffs, which was the unique symbol of the Sword Palace.

To Ji Yan's surprise, Ye Zhiqiu also came, not to mention how badly he was injured that day, even if he was injured and replaced by someone else, I am afraid that he would only return to Zhongzhou silently and he actually stayed, is it really impossible to study here?

"Today, this is your first lesson, perhaps, some of you don't need my teaching at all, but what I still want to tell you is that when you enter the academy, you must abide by the rules, and there are two most important points, first, it is forbidden to kill each other, if you have a deep hatred, you can go to life and death, but it is strictly forbidden to solve it in private, and second, respect the teacher and respect the elder, even the most inconspicuous attendants in the academy were once your senior brothers, maybe some of you will become one of them in the future, so I hope you can give them enough respect. ”

Everyone saluted and said yes, even Ye Zhiqiu and Chen Fang were no exception.

Mr. Pang looked at everyone with satisfaction, and finally looked at the two of them, and finally he said helplessly to Chen Fang: "I'm afraid I can't teach you now, what do you want?"

Chen Fang's voice was still gentle, making people feel like a spring breeze: "I want to go to the top floor of the Tibetan Scripture Building." ”

"It's only three days. Mr. Pang said.

"Enough. Chen Fangdao. The simple three words reveal unparalleled confidence and a hint of joy.

After Chen Fang finished speaking, he left, and then, Mr. Pang looked at Ye Zhiqiu, he was seriously injured a few days ago, he did not accept the help of the Han Dynasty and the academy, and even the people sent by the academy failed to keep up with him, and later after discussion, everyone thought that he might not come alone, which is not surprising, it is impossible for the proud disciple of the Sword Saint to have no one to protect him.

"Since you already have the best teacher in the world, why do you want to be a disciple of the academy?" asked Mr. Pang puzzled.

Ye Zhiqiu glanced at Mr. Pang and responded: "Master once said that in the whole world, only two or three people can be compared with the sword, one is in the Daomen, and the other is in the academy, there are too many rules in the Daomen, so it is naturally not a good place to go. ”

"Although the academy is said to teach without class, but it will not do anything to raise tigers, since you are a disciple of Zhongzhou Sword Pavilion, it must also have great cause and effect with my academy and even the eastern soil, preaching is okay, if you want to borrow the scriptures, you need to exchange it for something of equal value. Mr. Pang said.

"Senior brother is right, the academy really doesn't make loss-making transactions. Ye Zhiqiu said: "However, I believe that Mr. Pang will change his mind." With that, he also left the main hall.

At this time, there were only eight people left in the main hall, all of whom stood silently aside, waiting for a lecture.

"As for the few of you, the rest of the days are going to be interesting. Mr. Pang said with a slight gloom, which made Ji Yan have a bad premonition.

Mr. Pang led a few people to a forest, the tall trees almost obscured the sky, because it was late autumn, it was the time of the falling leaves, whenever the breeze blew, the fallen leaves would be like snow and sprinkled down.

Mr. Pang stretched out his hand, and the eight rays of light each submerged into their bodies, and suddenly they found that they seemed to be cut off from the vitality between heaven and earth, and an invisible restraint was imposed on their bodies, and at this moment they were like ordinary people, and everyone was shocked in their hearts.

"The first few **** watched Ye Zhiqiu's swordsmanship, and I was touched, and now it is late autumn, I hope you can also understand this. ”

"Why is that gentleman locking us up? Someone asked.

"Your basic skills are not solid enough, as a swordsman, you pay too much attention to the improvement of your realm cultivation, and forget that as a swordsman, swordsmanship is an important means for you to defeat the enemy. Mr. Pang pointed to the big trees and said: "Do you see those fallen leaves, first hold the sword to cut them, and then hold the sword to stab them, until the sword is full, the calculation is a little small." With that, he threw down a bunch of wooden swords and turned to leave.

"Wooden ...... Sword?" Ji Yan was dumbfounded.

Looking at the fallen leaves in the sky, Ji Yan sighed, since ancient times, he sat cross-legged on the ground, with a wooden sword given by Mr. Pang before.

Autumn is indeed a time that is easy to make people sad, especially when a person is away from home, calculate the time, it's almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, I don't know how the family is now, my parents can't find themselves, I'm afraid it's time to be anxious, but I really can't go back now——。

He stood up suddenly, desperately chopping towards those leaves, as if to vent the resentment in his heart, several people around him did not understand why he suddenly went crazy, fortunately, the woods are not small, they each found their favorite place to practice swords.

"Ahh "When will I be able to go back? He muttered.

A breeze blew, bringing up a fallen leaf, floating in front of his eyes, he subconsciously grabbed it with his hand, but the leaf passed between his hands, he looked at it in a daze, as if he thought of something.

He looked at the leaves again that he didn't usually pay attention to, each leaf had a different trajectory when it fell, and as soon as he wanted to reach out and catch it, the trajectory of the leaf would change, was it the force of the wind that caused it to change?

If his speed exceeds the speed of the wind, is it possible to do it, no, he quickly vetoed his answer, Yuan Li was sealed, unable to mobilize the vitality, he is just an ordinary person now, if he wants to do it faster than the wind, not to say that it is impossible, but at least it will take many years of hard work, this road is not right, he meditated hard.

Leaves, trajectories, wind directions, changes, all of this happens in space, and since the speed of the sword cannot be faster than the speed of the wind, it is only - predicted.

If you know the trajectory of the leaves in advance, you can cut directly to the next position of the leaves, which requires a lot of speed, but you don't have to communicate with the previous ones for too long.

It's just that the Yuan Force is sealed, and the divine consciousness cannot be mobilized, so you can only rely on your own instinct to perceive the trajectory of the leaves.

He raised the wooden sword again, and looked at the fallen leaves flying around him, the fallen leaves became smaller and smaller in his eyes, and finally gradually turned into a line, and then, countless lines were divided, dismembered, and became countless nodes, yes, it was it.

The wooden sword swung up, rubbing against the air to produce a whirring sound, and after the sword was slashed, next to his ear, a whole leaf turned in half and fell to the ground.

"It worked. He called out happily.

Subsequently, he began to dance the sword, the swordsmanship was found from the third senior brother's codex, it was just a very simple set of flat nine styles, at this moment, Ji Yan began to wave the wooden sword in his hand against the autumn wind, and there were falling leaves floating towards his side around him, if you found it carefully, you could see that many fallen leaves came into contact with the wooden sword, and they all became two.

After a set of Pingqi nine-style dance, Ji Yan felt refreshed, and suddenly thought of Mr. Pang's statement that he cut first and then stabbed again, so he should cut it into a thorn, stabbed out with a sword, and steadily pierced a leaf, but it was left at the tip of the sword, and it did not go deeper, and when it came to the third one, because there were already two leaves left on the sword, the third leaf was hindered and could not be stabbed again.

"I didn't expect you to be the first person to be able to comprehend, your talent is really good, but you still need to practice more swordsmanship. Mr. Pang walked from behind a big tree with his hands on his hands.

Ji Yan held his sword and saluted, "I've seen Mr. Pang——。 ”

"Well, your comprehension ability is very strong, you need to practice more swordsmanship in the next time, or you can go to the other two halls if you want to, maybe you can really practice the three arts at the same time. ”

"The gentleman praised it falsely. Ji Yan said modestly.

"You don't have to be modest, it's just that I saw you in an impetuous mood before, but what is on your mind?" asked Mr. Pang.

"This, it's not a big deal, it's just that I'm a little homesick" Ji Yan scratched his head and said embarrassedly.

After hearing this, Mr. Pang smiled and said: "If there is no concern in your heart, it is strange, the wanderer is outside, and it is inevitable to feel homesick, just like this leaf." After speaking, he reached out and picked up a falling leaf, and that feeling of understatement made Ji Yan feel that if this trick was used to pretend to be cool before, those little girls would be a must.

But at this moment, seeing Mr. Pang's serious face, he couldn't interrupt himself, so he followed his meaning and said: "The life of the leaves is just to return to the roots?"

"It is an eternal truth that people return to their hometowns after death, and fallen leaves return to their roots, but today, many things of that year have changed their taste. With that, he sighed again.

"From now on, I will allow you to study the three arts at the same time, but you must remember not to slack off. Mr. Pang said.

After hearing this, Ji Yan was very happy, and immediately saluted: "Thank you, sir, disciple keep it in mind." ”

When he looked up again, the person in front of him had disappeared, and he really came and went without a trace.

In the music hall, Mr. Yu was telling everyone about the rhythm, Ji Yan was a little embarrassed when he came, everyone was listening carefully, and he ran to interrupt Mr. Teaching, which was indeed rude.

"Ji Yan, you don't practice swordsmanship well, why did you come to me?" and the old gentleman pretended to be angry, as if he was still thinking about the previous incident.

"Mr. Pang has allowed his disciples to practice the three arts at the same time, so the younger generation came to listen to Mr. Teach, and in a hurry, I hope Mr. will forgive me. ”

"Cultivating the three arts, so you still have to run to the book hall, and it will be difficult for you to arrive, so you can go to the last position and sit down in the future, no need to disturb it. ”

"Disciple remember. ”

As a cultivator, no matter what, it is necessary to fight, and it is okay to learn from each other on weekdays, if you meet an enemy one day, or enter the battlefield, it is indispensable to fight to the death. Mr. Yu said leisurely.

"What I am going to give you is how to kill people with their instruments, so that they may have the same power as the sword in the hand of a swordsman, if not more. ”

As soon as the words came out, the audience was shocked.

"Sir, we do know that the academy is very happy, but if we want to compare the combat power with the Sword Palace, I'm afraid there is still a gap. One student questioned it, and most of the others agreed.

"This is also the problem, the cultivators in the world, most of them are martial cultivators, and among the martial cultivators, they are respected by sword cultivation, so there are many swordsmen in the world who are like thunder, these are also reasonable, other cultivators, such as Le Xiu, the number of people is more than one case, so the people who preach the Tao with music are becoming more and more rare, but once they become enlightened, their strength is by no means under the sword cultivation of the same realm. ”

Seeing that everyone was still skeptical, Mr. Yu continued: "Do you know Yu Ziya?"

"Yes, is it Mr. Yu, who is known as Qin Xian?" someone said excitedly.

"Yes, although Yu Ziya is a former sage in Zhongzhou, his reputation is like thunder for us in Dongtu, not to mention anything else, you must have heard of the battle between him and the Sword Saint back then. Mr. Yu said at this time, his face turned a little red, because he also had the surname Yu, although the two had different surnames, but the pronunciation was the same, so I don't know if it was shame or something else.

Yang Jiu'er didn't know when he secretly ran to Ji Yan's side, the two said hello silently, and at this time, seeing everyone's emotions high, there were many discussions, and he couldn't help but ask Yang Jiu'er: "That Yu Ziya is very powerful?"

Yang Jiu'er was too lazy to look at this idiot with her white eyes: "I said you have nothing to do in the future, read more history books, Yu Ziya and Lord Sword Saint ended in a draw, that is the Sword Saint." ”

"Sword Saint—" Ji Yan smacked his lips, "Just by hearing the name, you know it's powerful." ”

"However, as a native of Dongtu, why do you worship each other so much, his apprentice has just come to smash the scene. ”

"What are you smashing?" Yang Jiu'er wondered, but then she understood what Ji Yan meant: "What do you know, we worship the strong, but we don't blindly respect them, regardless of regional differences, besides, people like that kind of people are all big-minded, otherwise in the war a thousand years ago, if several big people in Zhongzhou came out, we may not be able to hold on to the present." ”

"I see. Ji Yan secretly thought that he really should know more about this world.

Since it was the first lesson, Mr. Yu did not teach too many lessons, but only explained the meaning of the Tao of Music, and let everyone fully explore the Tao and musical instruments that are truly suitable for them in their hearts. Ji Yan was quite touched after hearing this, and at this moment his heart was extremely confident, and he swept away the gloom of the past and said secretly: "I, certainly, can go back-"
