Chapter 40: One Year
The time of the year is not long, and it is not short. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
For mortals, a year can be used to do a lot of things, after planting a field of wheat, you can also have a season of rice, you can sneak out of the door when the farm is not working, marry a daughter-in-law, and have a daughter-in-law can have a baby, anyway, a year can be used to do a lot of things.
For monks, a year may not be a big deal, because for some exercises or spells, the cultivation time is measured in years or even decades, so a year is not a very long time for them.
However, there is nothing wrong with that, and that is that a year is very precious, because it consumes a year's vitality.
Vitality is still the most precious thing in the world, and there is no one.
In the academy, these days are very lively, and the reason is very simple, after a year of cultivation, everyone is ready to show their strength, so as to get some better opportunities.
And the academy will naturally provide these opportunities for its disciples, and every few years, the academy will hold a martial arts meeting to gather all the students who have participated in the competition to gather in the Imperial City Academy in the state.
Originally, this martial arts was established for some students who were willing to participate, and the disciples were also very eager for such an event, and many leaders of the academy rushed to the Dynasty Academy to participate in this event over the years.
The academy also has rich rewards for these disciples who participate in the martial arts, and the biggest reward is to be able to walk the world on behalf of the academy, complete some tasks of the academy, and get some special rewards, including pills, divine weapons and even some unfathomable exercises and spells.
However, this martial arts has developed to this day, and it has gradually changed its flavor and has become a platform for the younger generation of disciples of the academy to learn from each other. Although the final winning students will still have rich rewards and the opportunity to walk the world, the restrictions on the strength of the contestants are no longer as harsh as before, and they are relatively approachable.
For such a major event, each academy and even each master wants their disciples to shine in such an activity, which is beneficial to the development of the disciples themselves, and also adds glory to the faces of the academies and masters themselves.
Therefore, the current martial arts are basically a bit competitive and fierce. However, fortunately, the previous principals and adults respected the spirit of martial arts and required the martial arts spirit to be the most important in the martial arts, which also dispelled the idea of many people fighting bravely.
Seeing that this session of Huiwu is approaching, all the disciples are desperately cultivating, hoping to reach a good state so that they can shine in the Huiwu and win the key cultivation of the master.
Of course, this naturally includes Zhao Yichen.
Since Zhao Yichen chatted with Gu Lanhui that day, he seemed to have changed as a person, obsessed with cultivation every day, and his ears did not listen to things outside the window, although under his forcible efforts, he miraculously locked his spiritual power in his body, and he could mobilize his spiritual power on his own like an ordinary monk, but this caused serious trauma to his body and mind.
Just by forcibly pulling the spiritual power from the retrograde backwards, his body was burdened with a huge burden, every inch of his muscles and bones were squeezed by the spiritual power and deformed a little, and a slightly bulging acupoint in the lower abdomen would cause a dull pain every day.
At the same time, the belief of hatred took deep root in his heart, and over time, his personality slowly underwent some changes, and gradually became cold and even murderous.
In this regard, Yang Tianxiao didn't know, and Zhao Yichen's senior brothers didn't know either, Yang Tianxiao was busy with official business this year, and he was often not in the academy, and when he came back, he just said a few words to Zhao Yichen with concern to test Zhao Yichen's cultivation level. In addition, the dark side of Zhao Yichen's heart is not obvious, so naturally it is difficult for him to see it. The senior brothers have been cultivating separately for the past year, and they have occasionally exchanged a few words of greetings and drank a few pots of wine.
Of course, he didn't know it himself, because he just felt that he was cultivating with the power of hatred, and he was pleased with his growing strength, but he didn't notice that this subtle influence was gradually eroding him.
In the past year, few people have come to Zhao Yichen's small courtyard, everyone is busy cultivating, and few people have come to visit the door. During this period, Li Junfei and Mu Shiyu came once or twice, Li Junfei was to replace Yang Tianxiao to care about Zhao Yichen's practice and living conditions, and talk to him by the way, while Mu Shiyu came to thank Zhao Yichen for sharing most of the sound waves of the Han for her that day, and brought a lot of fruits by the way.
It stands to reason that Mu Shiyu should not know about this matter, at that time, her vision was blocked by the big man, and she didn't know what was going on, presumably Sun Xu said it a lot, and added fuel and vinegar.
Zhao Yichen was strange and happy about Sun Xu's mouth, but he didn't dwell too much on it, but went out for a walk with Mu Shiyu and chatted for a while.
That day can be said to be one of the few happy days in Zhao Yichen this year.
This year, he rarely laughed, because the seeds of hatred were gradually eroding him.
On that day, he laughed, laughing from the bottom of his heart.
Because of her, and only because of her
The rose swaying in the wind.
A few days ago, Li Junfei came again and told him about the situation of this session, Yang Tianxiao was ready to let him participate in it, see the world, and have a trick with the masters of the younger generation, and communicate, hoping to get some breakthroughs and go to the next level.
Zhao Yichen is now eager to improve his strength, and he is naturally very yearning for such an opportunity, coupled with such a grand event, Mu Shiyu will definitely go, so that he can have the opportunity to meet Mu Shiyu again, thinking that he was very excited, and after talking with Li Junfei for a few words, he began to cultivate again.
Seeing that the martial arts were about to start, and one day, the disciples of Donglin Academy who participated in the martial arts were about to set off, Yang Tianxiao also returned to the academy, took a moment to come to Zhao Yichen's residence, he walked into the courtyard, came to the door, stretched out his hand and knocked lightly.
"Who?" Zhao Yichen woke up from his meditation, thinking that at this time, everyone should hurry up and prepare, who is here for him.
"Yichen, it's me, I'm Yang Tianxiao!" Yang Tian's laughing voice sounded from outside the door.
"It's Uncle Tianxiao, this is coming, you wait a minute." With that, he hurriedly got up, patted the dust off his clothes, walked to the door, and opened the door.
When the master and apprentice meet, they are very cordial, as cordial as father and son.
"Uncle Tianxiao, why are you here?" Zhao Yichen asked, Yang Tianxiao is usually busy with official business these days, and the disciples of Donglin Academy are about to set off these days, and Yang Tianxiao and other elder-level people will naturally have a lot of things to do, so there must be something to do when they come to him at this time.
"Haha, it's not a big deal, it's just that you're going to participate in the martial arts, and there are some things that I have come to tell you. This time I have a task to perform, I can't stay there the whole time, everything is arranged by Junfei and them, most of your senior brothers you have met, they are all relatively easy to get along with, you just listen to them wherever you go. Yang Tianxiao patted Zhao Yichen's shoulder and said kindly, like an elder telling his own child.
"Yes, I will definitely listen to the senior brothers, and the master can just rest assured." Zhao Yichen clasped his fists and saluted, and said.
"Well, that's fine, and besides, I have something for you." Yang Tian said with a smile.
