Ning Zhong chatted with Su Chen and the two in a gentle manner, and then called a group of senior sisters and brothers next to him to come forward to help carry the salute and the wounded.

On the way up the mountain, Su Chen figured out that these female disciples were the so-called 'Yantang' disciples.

Nominally, these women were Ning Zhongze's apprentices, but they were only recognized on the mountain, and when they really came down the mountain, no one took it seriously.

It's really because their martial arts are too low, and they are older.

Su Chen glanced over and saw that Yun Xin, the strongest eldest sister among them, was only able to reach the stage of rectification, with a basic strength of more than 300 catties, and she didn't even touch the edge of Ming Jin.

This is still the situation of practicing in Huashan for five or six years.

Seeing this, Su Chen was a little speechless, no wonder the Yantang disciples were not looked at by Ling Hu Chong.

In the martial arts sect, it is true that the strength is weak and cannot be respected by others.

However, he found that among those outer disciples, there were several young people with surging qi and blood, and they had reached the stage of Ming Jin, and their basic strength could be five or six hundred catties, as long as they learned swordsmanship well, they would not be worse than Liang Fa and others.

The road up the mountain was very shallow and treacherous, and in some places only one person could pass through, and it took a lot of effort before several wounded people were carried by the disciples.

Fortunately, these disciples have been practicing for a long time, and their strength is much stronger than ordinary people, and the weight of more than 100 catties per person is nothing.

Halfway up the mountain, Su Chen saw the Huashan Sect Dao place.

There is a very wide open space here, and from a distance, at the end of the open space square is a wide hall, and the vermilion gate is a little mottled, and a simple feeling comes to my heart.

This is the main hall of Huashan, and it can be vaguely seen that the Huashan Sword Sect was very strong back then.

The plaque of the main hall reads "Zhengqitang" in three majestic characters.

"This is the ancestor hall of the Huashan faction, I heard that it used to be called 'Sword Qi Chongxiao Hall', in order to emphasize the importance of qi training, and urge all disciples to take qi training as the foundation, it was changed to 'Zhengqi Hall'. ”

Yantang's senior sister Yun Xin saw Su Chen and Su Ziyi looking around blankly, and explained.

This woman is about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, if she was at the foot of the mountain, she should have been married a long time ago, and she would have taught her husband and children.

But at this time, it was a little different, Yun Xin was still dressed as a sister-in-law, her eyes were clear and peaceful, and the hair on the back of her head was tied in a Taoist bun.

"Aren't you going to get married?" Su Chen muttered secretly.

Yun Xin saw that Su Chen's gaze was different, so he smiled and said, "Our seven sisters are all from a heartless family, and there is nothing wrong with dying in Huashan." When the sisters went up the mountain, because they were too old, they couldn't practice qi, but they just practiced a little on weekdays to strengthen their bodies, and they didn't have much hope for martial arts. ”

"It's a pity that you entered the Wild Goose Hall to stay with a few of us, but you may be underestimated, and your future is worrying. ”

Su Ziyi asked curiously, "Isn't the Yantang disciple allowed to learn internal skills?"

"That's not it, the basic internal skill of the entry 'Holding Yuan Jin', as long as you are a disciple of Huashan, anyone can learn it, but because the master needs to manage the affairs of the sect, there are too many worries every day, so there is not much time to teach us, which is far inferior to the Sword Qi Hall. They don't do anything except practice swords every day, they have the head of the house to remind them of their faces, supervise and urge them to practice, and their entry into the country is naturally different. ”

Yun Xin's voice was very calm, and he didn't hear any dissatisfaction.

Su Ziyi shouted that it was not good.

Master Ning Zhongze doesn't have time to teach in detail, isn't this just a sheep-like teaching, can you learn good things?

Su Chen smiled, he didn't care if the master didn't use his heart to teach.

'Master leads the way, and the cultivation is in the individual', whether or not you really achieve it depends on yourself, and it has nothing to do with other people.

It's not necessarily a good thing to have a teacher staring at you every day, especially for someone like yourself who has all kinds of secrets.

A woman about twenty years old ran over, first looked at Su Chen and Su Ziyi curiously, and then said to Yun Xin happily: "Eldest sister, I have asked Master, Senior Brother Su and Senior Sister Xiaolan are two preparatory disciples. They are of the right age, and they hope to practice and become a family heir, maybe they can make Yantang famous and suppress the prestige of Jiantang. ”

"Qiaoyan, you always like to compete with others, which is not good, but Senior Brother Su, as soon as you go up the mountain, you can get the quota of preparatory disciples, which is very good. ”

"It's good to prepare a disciple?" Su Chen couldn't help but laugh.

He came up the mountain to learn internal strength and Huashan swordsmanship, which is good, not even a formal disciple, and the word 'preparation' will be understood as soon as he hears it.

"Of course it's okay!" Qiao Yan's eyebrows fluttered and hurriedly said: "You see that our seven sisters in Yantang have never been able to get the reserve place. Of the fifteen outer disciples, only three of them have obtained this quota this year, don't underestimate the preparatory disciples, when they compete at the end of the year, they are qualified to challenge and obtain the status of a personal disciple. ”

"Personal disciple?" Su Chen's eyes lit up.

He knew that Ning Zhong agreed to accept him and Su Ziyi as apprentices, and it was impossible to treat him as a miscellaneous disciple or an outer disciple, otherwise, he would be too sorry for the favor he gave.

"It's just a challenge now, but it's much better than nothing. As long as you work hard, you will be given a chance, and Master Ning Zhongze should mean this. ”

"If you can't challenge it, you can't blame the master for not teaching well, but only for not learning well. ”

Only three of the outer disciples Qiao Yan said got places, and Su Chen also had some ideas.

He had previously glanced at the outer disciples, and found that only three of them had achieved physical training and reached the level of Ming Jin.

At this time, when I heard the number of people, I understood what the Huashan faction Yue Buqun and his wife meant.

In the final analysis, there is still a threshold for becoming a personal disciple, if the physical cultivation does not reach the level of Mingjin, even if he is given the status of a preparatory disciple, he must not be able to pass it.

Su Ziyi was a little worried, hearing this news, she was a little apprehensive in her heart, and hurriedly asked, "Senior sister, what is the benefit of passing on the disciple in person?

Qiao Yan has a very cheerful personality, not as steady as Yun Xin, hearing Su Ziyi's worried inquiry, she widened her eyes and said very funny: "Of course the benefits are great, Senior Sister Xiaolan, you are asking the right person, it is really difficult to become a disciple of the family." Last year, there were four places, but only two people passed, that is, the third senior brother Liang Fa and the fourth senior brother Shi Daizi of the Sword Hall, if you look at their strength, it is clear whether it is difficult or not. ”

"Don't scare Senior Sister!" Yun Xin glanced at Qiao Yan reproachfully, and comforted Su Ziyi warmly: "Senior Sister Xiaolan, don't worry, it's not difficult to pass the level of a disciple by hand, as long as you go through ten moves among any of the disciples and show your strength, it is not so bad, even if it is passed." ”

She paused and said: "Last year, the monkey and the wood, just because they were tried by Senior Brother Linghu personally, the strength of the two sides was too different, even if they had the intention to release the water, they didn't survive the three moves, so they were brushed down." At the end of this year, so many senior brothers, as long as they are not picked by the senior brothers, they should be fine. ”

"Can you choose the test candidates yourself?" Su Chen asked with a move in his heart.

"That's not good, it's usually the senior brother who starts first to select a preparatory disciple for the test, don't be afraid, you haven't offended anyone, no matter who picks you, you won't have the strength to die. barely fought ten moves, but it can still be held. "Yun Xin is very optimistic. (To be continued.) )
