Chapter 34, Xuanwu Palace
As soon as the sky showed its first bright colors, Abu stood in front of the Xuanwu Palace. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The Xuanwu Hall covers an extremely wide area. As the largest temple of the Department of Internal Affairs, it starts from Dengdao District in the east, reaches Wuwean Cliff in the west, borders the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion in the south, and reaches the Chengguang Hall in the north. In such a vast space, it is impossible to stand alone in a large hall. In fact, the Xuanwu Hall is made up of a group of temples.
And where Abu is now is where the front hall of Xuanwu is located, which is known as the first hall of Xuanwu.
The front hall of Xuanwu, the general leader of the affairs of the entire Xuanwu Palace, is the largest and most magnificent building in the Xuanwu Palace community.
The main hall is a three-eaves two-layer structure, from the straight road to the east and west each hundred steps, into the depth of one hundred and ten steps. The temple is extremely high, which should give people a sense of oppression, but because the hall is extremely extensive, the whole building is only solemn and not oppressive.
In front of the hall, three layers of stone bases are paved and decorated with carved railings. From top to bottom, there are three, six, and nine steps respectively, which implicitly coincide with the number of yin and yang of heaven and earth, symbolizing that the Xuanwu Palace is the place where the martial pole and yang are prosperous in the Demon Palace.
……
Abu climbed the stairs and walked through the stone platforms that were far wider and taller than the ninth step, and came to the front of the hall.
As soon as he crossed the pillars and opened the door of the temple, a handyman on duty came out, asked for his intentions, and led him into the temple.
The hall was extremely quiet, and there was not a trace of human figure in sight, only the faint echo of the clear footsteps of the leading handyman in the wide hall. Abu looked at the closed doors on both sides, and knew in his heart that it would be cold to see that the hall was cold now, and when it was the end of the day, the doors were opened one after another, and countless deacons shuttled among them, and this place would immediately become a very lively place.
Just like everything in this world, it is rare to live better than bad, and to be at the extreme. Most of the people and things in the world are still confined to the ordinary and mediocre.
The same is true of the Demon Palace.
From the disciple's point of view, since the ascension to the Tao, the newcomer has two years, the path has been asked for five years, and the debut has been on the road for ten years. The silver medal disciples accounted for six or seven out of ten of the total number of disciples in the entire Demon Palace.
From the point of view of the Demon Palace, from the deacon, the deacon, the elder, the great elder, the Taishang, and the deacon live in seven or eight out of ten.
Removing the miscellaneous servants in the palace, martial artists, Jing Wei and some extremely special beings, silver disciples and deacons are the two most numerous groups of people in the palace.
And the Xuanwu Hall is the main place for learning and exchange above the Dao.
Because of this, this is one of the few places in the Demon Palace that is very popular.
……
The guide handyman led him through the nave, bypassed the wind screen, went out of the main hall through the small door behind the side, turned to the back porch, led him to the corridor under the eaves next to the back steps of the main hall, and said respectfully: "Please wait." Then he turned and left.
Abu took two steps forward, walked out of the corridor, and stood quietly on the high pedestal behind the hall, the morning breeze blowing the corners of his clothes with a fierce spirit rarely seen in mid-autumn. The early morning air came in through the thin cool clothes, but it couldn't take away the heat in his heart.
He stared into the distance, behind the heavy temple, the deepest darkness, without blinking for a moment.
The eastern sky was slightly white, and a red sun had faintly poked out of its head, and in Abu's sight, the longing shadows slowly shed their silhouettes from the misty darkness and quietly appeared in front of Abu. And the deepest dark color also reveals its true appearance.
Where Abu's gaze was fixed, the three halls revealed their blue-black eaves.
It was the Xuanwu apse.
The three halls of the Xuanwu apse are not open to the public on weekdays, and will only be opened when important meetings and ceremonies are held in the palace.
And today's apprenticeship ceremony is held in the first hall of the three halls after Xuanwu - Linhai.
……
A series of footsteps came from the corridor, and Abu looked back sideways, and the handyman led another person to the corridor.
The man looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in a pale cyan suit, with a long sword at his waist, and when he saw Abu turn around, he nodded with a light smile and stopped at the wall of the hall by the corridor.
After a few moments, there is an adversary, and there is no need to say more.
Before long, another brown-shirted young man stepped onto the corridor, and when he saw the two people in front of him, he also nodded slightly, and then stopped on the other side.
The three of them scattered inside and outside the corridor like a dingzu, silently, quietly waiting for that moment to come.
The fourth to step on the corridor was a black-clothed young man with a knife, he turned up the corridor, saw the situation here, but did not stop, walked between the brown-shirted boy and the man in green clothes, until he stood still by the pillar of the outer corridor at the back of the hall.
The three of them were standing on their feet, but at this time they were inserted by the man, and at a glance, it was as if the person was being guarded by the three outsiders, and it seemed to be surrounded by the three of them.
The young man holding the knife obviously didn't care about this, a pair of eyes swept coldly across the three of the three people, and did not stay on the brown-shirted boy and the man in green clothes, only when he swept over Abu, his eyes were sharp for a moment, and then he looked away, turned around and stood facing the outside of the corridor with a knife.
Uchin!
Abu's eyes suddenly shrank, and he did not need to be named, and at this glance, he had already decided that this person must be Uchin.
It's not easy!
The three of them stood on their feet before, seemingly silently, but they all understood that they were each other's opponents today, although they didn't say a word, but naturally there was a confrontation in the field. The brown-shirted young man before stopped when he walked to the side of the verandah, just because he didn't want to be oppressed by the qi between Abu and the man in Tsing Yi, which affected his mood before the battle.
Uchin will not be unclear about this. However, he did not stop, and at that moment, he walked into the place where the qi of the three of them converged, like a gust of wind, attracting the wrinkled veil to go away with the wind, and then disappeared without a trace. The three of them had a sudden burst of anger, but it didn't cause the slightest ripple on Uchin's body, and even at this time, Uchin could still turn around freely, and dared to stand with his back to the three of them defenselessly.
This is not only due to strong strength, but also to strong self-confidence.
On this point alone, Abu knew that he was indeed inferior to Uchin.
……
Abu.
Uchin's gaze slowly moved to the Linhai Hall in the distance, but his thoughts stayed on the moment when he met Abu's gaze just now.
Just like Abu, with just one glance and no words, he has determined that the figure standing in the wind on the pedestal outside the corridor is Abu in the mouth of the red evil.
The reason was simple, because he knew very well that there were five disciples who participated in the disciple selection ceremony today, and Abu was the youngest among them.
Wu Qin's gaze stayed in the Linhai Hall for a moment, and then moved west to the large bare ground in the northwest corner of the Xuanwu Palace, and his mood was a little complicated.
On the same day that he passed the ninth order, the Red Evil was defeated by Abu, but he ignored it afterwards, which was based on two points. The first is that this matter was caused by the red evil himself, and it was a personal grudge between the red evil and Abu, and the skills were not perfect, and he was defeated by others, so there was no need to investigate deeply. But the more important point is that the person is covered by Ah Fei.
Uchin is a very persistent person, and as the saying goes, he loves to drill the horns of the bull. Otherwise, I wouldn't have tossed around in the Q Jing area for so long in order to refine my knife skills. But in the matter of choosing an apprentice to worship the teacher, he took a step back and did not compete with Ah Fei. This proves that in the face of Ah Fei, he doesn't even have a trace of victory. He thinks he's not as good as Ah Fei.
In his heart, Ah Fei is his goal, and in the near future, he will definitely compete with one of them, and he can be an opponent.
And Abu, the qualifications may be good, but as an opponent, it will be a long time later.
The big ones are gone, and the small ones are going to be beaten?
What does this mean?
This is to make him Wuqin, who admits that he will never be as good as Ah Fei, and can only beat his younger brother?
He really can't do such a tasteless thing.
However, today, it was Abu himself who had to break into front of him, and since this was the case, then he would not blame his men for being ruthless!
……
In the hall behind the four of them, some voices began to be heard, and the time was approaching, and the front hall of Xuanwu was about to get busy.
In the back porch, there was a sudden sound of messy footsteps, and a teenager of twelve or thirteen years old suddenly rushed into the corridor and ran towards the place where the four people were standing, shouting: "It's too late, it's too late......
rushed all the way to the porch, stopped, took a breath, looked around, patted his chest and said, "It's okay...... OK...... Caught up with ......"
Abu couldn't help but wonder, this young man reminded him of Amai, it was really unreliable.
……
At the end of the day, a deacon led the five people into the corridor of the Linhai Temple.
