Chapter 33: The First Examination
On this day, after lunch, Chi Yuefeng's disciples were busy with their own affairs, and Lin Xiaoyi also returned to his room as usual, sat quietly on the bed, and began to practice again. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
When he had just calmed down and let go of his own prohibition to feel the aura of heaven and earth, he heard a rush of footsteps coming from outside the door, he quickly gathered his consciousness, opened his eyes, and saw that the door of the hidden room was pushed open, and Senior Brother Dazhi broke in with a happy face.
Before Lin Xiaoyi could ask what was going on, he heard him shout loudly to Lin Xiaoyi: "Senior Brother Xiaoyi, stop cultivating, go to the main hall of Jingyue Hall immediately!" ”
"What's going on?" Lin Xiaoyi jumped out of bed, with a puzzled look on his face, still in confusion.
Seeing his nervous and scared look, Senior Brother Dazhi grinned and said, "It's Master who is back!" ”
"Really?"
As soon as he heard that it was Master Xuanye Dao Master who had returned, Lin Xiaoyi hurriedly jumped up, put on his coat in a panic, and rushed all the way towards Jingyue Hall with a feeling of anxiety and excitement!
It's been five or six months since he arrived at Chi Yue Peak, and he hasn't seen Master Xuanye's true face once, but now it's okay, Master is finally back, and he can listen to the old man's teachings, and he can ask him for advice about the confusion he encountered in his practice.
By the time Lin Xiaoyi ran to the front of Jingyue Hall, most of the disciples on Chiyue Peak had already arrived, lined up on the left and right sides of the lower head, and their faces were all dignified and solemn, unlike the usual fights and jokes, presumably because everyone was very strict with their teachers.
Lin Xiaoyi looked forward, and saw a person sitting on the top chair in front of the hall, wearing a dark green robe, a thin figure, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, bright eyes, a few long hairs on his cheeks, and a crane bone fairy style, looking a little unangry and arrogant!
Lin Xiaoyi couldn't help but look at him curiously below, could this fairy-like figure be the peak master of Chiyue Peak, that is, his own master, Xuanye Dao Chief?
But judging from the respectful demeanor of the other disciples, there must be no doubt that this person must be this person!
I saw Daoist Xuanye sitting at the top, asking the disciples sentence by sentence about the situation during his absence, such as the preparations for the Wufeng Mountain Sword Competition in six years, the contacts with the other peaks of Wufeng Mountain, and the progress of the cultivation of the disciples of Chiyue Peak.
Chi Yuefeng's three deacon disciples, Senior Brother Zheng Shouyi, Second Senior Brother Li Yu, and Third Senior Brother Qi Tai, stood in front of Daoist Xuanye one by one, answering his questions separately.
As he was talking, Daoist Xuanye suddenly glanced at Lin Xiaoyi and found Lin Xiaoyi standing behind everyone, and felt that his face was raw, so he frowned and asked, "Who is he?" ”
Zheng Shouyi took a step forward and replied to the master: "He is the new disciple of Chi Yuefeng, named Lin Xiaoyi!" ”
Xuanye Dao Leader pondered, "A new disciple of Chi Yue Peak? How I didn't know! ”
Li Yu also explained on the side: "Master, that's the case, a few months ago, not long after you came down the mountain, Senior Brother Ding Qingyi of Taiqing Peak was ordered by the head of the sect to bring this little junior brother to us, so that Chi Yuefeng could take him under his command. ”
"Oh, I see!" After hearing this, Daoist Xuanye was slightly relieved, and then looked at Lin Xiaoyi, only to see that this young man had bright eyes and outstanding temperament, which was not comparable to ordinary ordinary disciples, and when he saw that he was a disciple with great cultivation talent, he nodded happily.
Since Lin Xiaoyi saw this master, because it was the first time he saw such an elegant, free and fairy-like peerless figure, he was stunned for a while.
At this time, Senior Brother Xiao Wu next to Lin Xiaoyi took the opportunity to pull his sleeve and said in a low voice: "Senior Brother Xiao Yi, why don't you go and see Master soon!" ”
Lin Xiaoyi woke up like a dream, hurriedly stepped forward, knelt on the ground, snorted a few times, and said respectfully: "Disciple Lin Xiaoyi, I have seen Master!" ”
"Okay, get up!" Daoist Xuanye motioned for him to stand up with his hand, glanced at him again, and then asked the senior brothers, "How has this junior junior brother's cultivation been arranged in the past few months?" ”
Senior Brother Zheng Shouyi said: "Back to Master, in the past few months, he will be taught by our three disciples separately, and we will make a decision after you come back, Master!" ”
Daoist Xuanye bowed slightly, as if he was very satisfied with the disciples' arrangement, and asked Zheng Shouyi again: "Since this little junior disciple has been in the beginner for almost half a year, how is his current cultivation situation?" ”
At this time, Li Yu, who was on the side, replied first: "Master, this junior disciple Xiao Yi has very good cultivation qualifications, and I am afraid that he is a disciple with a high talent in cultivation. ”
Next, he also recounted the matter of reciting the mantra and heart method when he taught Lin Xiaoyi Taiji Five Elements Dao Method that day, and expressed his love and praise for this little junior brother between the words.
A hint of relief also flashed on Daoist Xuanye's face, after so many years, it was time for Chiyue Peak to have an outstanding disciple!
It turned out that in the first line of Chiyue Peak in Wufeng Mountain, although the Xuanye Daoist himself has cultivated profoundly, most of the many disciples on Chiyue Peak are mediocre, and only the eldest disciple Zheng Shouyi and other three or four people are barely acceptable, but they are not very satisfactory to him, Xuanye Daoist is very pure and arrogant by nature, and he is extremely strict with his disciples, so he looks down on the disciples who are not successful, and now with such an outstanding disciple, how can he not be happy and relieved!
After listening to Li Yu's appreciation of this little junior brother, Daoist Xuanye turned around and asked Lin Xiaoyi: "Since you have been a beginner for almost half a year, you should also have some achievements on the 'Zhou Tian' layer of the Tai Chi Five Elements Dao Method, according to the rules of our Wufeng Mountain, the beginner disciple will need to be tested after half a year, it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, then I will test you today!" ”
After finishing speaking, Daoist Xuanye casually selected a few Taoist formulas on the first floor of "Zhou Tian" and asked Lin Xiaoyi to explain and answer questions in public.
Lin Xiaoyi didn't say a word, and naturally answered fluently.
Daoist Xuanye also nodded in agreement while listening, with a look of relief on his face.
Seeing that the master was so happy, even the senior brothers Chi Yuefeng who were standing beside Lin Xiaoyi were envious of him, and being able to get the favor of the master and his old man undoubtedly added a lot of certainty to Lin Xiaoyi's future cultivation path.
After some questioning, Daoist Xuanye left his seat and walked to Lin Xiaoyi's side, and said to Lin Xiaoyi with a smile on his face: "Since you have memorized this Dharma mantra like a stream, you must have been cultivating for a long time, and the aura in your meridians should also be very abundant, right?" Stretch out your hand, and I'll see how much True Yuan Qi you have in your body? ”
Lin Xiaoyi was in a trance for a moment, but the master's order could not be disobeyed, and then, he timidly stretched out his hand.
Xuanye Daoist used his palm against Lin Xiaoyi's palm, and suddenly a grand and profound True Yuan made Lin Xiaoyi's hand feel a burning feeling, it was Xuanye Daoist who was using his True Yuan to arouse the True Yuan Qi hidden in his meridians.
After a while, Daoist Xuanye, who was still pleasant just now, suddenly changed his face, and his expression changed from surprise to anger!
It turned out that this Xuanye Dao Master used his own True Yuan to test the Heaven and Earth Aura wandering in Lin Xiaoyi's meridians, but what made him feel strange was that it was the basic Dao method that ordinary people would achieve a small success after practicing for half a year, but this little disciple's whole body meridians did not have any True Yuan Qi at all, which really surprised him!
Daoist Xuanye stretched his face the next moment, put down his palm, and asked him, "How did you practice?" Even ordinary people who have practiced for half a year have a slight four or five points of true qi, but you don't have a trace of true qi in your meridians now! ”
Lin Xiaoyi knew that he was ashamed, so he didn't dare to defend himself, knelt down again, and said honestly: "The disciple doesn't know the reason, it's just that every time he practices, he senses the aura of heaven and earth, and he also absorbs it into his body, but somehow, he can't integrate it into the meridians in his body, and I hope that the master will guide him." ”
Daoist Xuanye had never encountered this situation since he had practiced, and thought that Lin Xiaoyi was arguing unreasonably, so he said with anger on his face: "Don't talk nonsense, how can this happen?" It must be that you didn't concentrate on your cultivation until now, and at this time, you actually made up this kind of lie to deceive me? Look at how well I teach you today! ”
It turned out that on this Chiyue Peak, there were some lazy disciples before, who didn't work hard on weekdays, and tried their best to think of some crooked ideas to get by, and when they met the master in the test of practice, they made up some reasons to prevaricate and pass the test, but when it came to important occasions such as the Wufeng Mountain Centennial Sword Competition, which required real skills, they often made a turtle with a shrunken head, and over time, it also made Xuanye Daoist deeply disgusted with this kind of disciples.
Seeing that Master Xuanye was angry, the disciples didn't even dare to come out, they just looked at Senior Brother Lin Xiaoyi kneeling on the ground sympathetically, just now he was still the object of everyone's envy, but in a blink of an eye, he had become the target of everyone's pity.
Li Yu finally took pity on this little disciple, stepped forward, and interceded for Lin Xiaoyi: "Master, the little junior disciple is still young, and he has just started to practice, if there is anything that is not good, it is understandable." ”
Senior brother Zheng Shouyi also persuaded: "Master, please calm your anger, the little junior brother didn't pass this level, isn't there a second and third level?" You just give him another chance to go back and practice well, and I think that in time, he will definitely make progress. ”
After hearing these words, Xuanye Dao Chang's angry face eased slightly, and he said angrily to Lin Xiaoyi: "As a teacher, I will spare you once today, you go back and reflect on yourself, do you want to work hard?" If this is still the case at that time, don't blame the teacher for being unkind to you! ”
It turned out that Daoist Xuanye thought that this little disciple had a talent for cultivation, but he was unwilling to concentrate on his efforts, so he said some cruel words to make him wake up and understand, not that he really wanted to teach him a lesson today.
After Xuanye Daoist finished speaking, he brushed his sleeves and walked towards the back of the hall, and after his figure disappeared at the back door, all the disciples talked about it, and even some disciples pointed at Lin Xiaoyi, sneering, Originally, Master Xuanye returned to the peak this time, and he was in a good mood, but he was made very stern by Xiao Yi's junior brother, this Xiao Yi's junior brother is really too ignorant.
Lin Xiaoyi felt a little aggrieved because he was scolded by the master today, and he still knelt there, not daring to stand up and face everyone's strange eyes.
At this time, he was also secretly hating himself for being useless, why was it that even ordinary people could reach the cultivation level, why was it so difficult for him to ascend to the sky, what was the reason for this?
Of course, he couldn't figure it out himself, after thinking about it like this, the noisy voices of the senior brothers gradually disappeared in his ears, he raised his head, it turned out that all the disciples had already left Jingyue Hall, and only Li Yu and Su Qiyu were still standing there looking at him.
After Li Yu stepped forward to help him up, he helped him dust off his clothes, sighed lightly, stroked his shoulder with his hand, and said: "Senior Brother Xiaoyi, don't blame Master, he is also like this for your own good, as long as you practice more diligently and diligently in the future, sooner or later you will be recognized by Master and his old man!" ”
Facing the little junior brother with a face full of shame, Li Yu was also helpless, why such a smart little junior disciple had been stuck on the path of cultivation, and there was no progress, he often felt a little puzzled!
Su Qiyu also looked at Lin Xiaoyi with pity, although he lost face in front of everyone today and was embarrassed, she still defended him and persuaded him: "I believe in you, Xiaoyi, keep working hard, you will definitely get ahead!" ”
Lin Xiaoyi originally lowered his head and bit his lip, silently, and only after hearing her words did he raise his eyes to look at her, and there were crystal tears in his eyes.
When Su Qiyu saw him like this, she didn't feel a sour feeling in her heart.
