Chapter 35: Failure
Time passed, the days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was soon the day when the main Xuanye Daoist of Chiyue Peak would test Lin Xiaoyi's cultivation. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
On this day, Lin Xiaoyi got up very early, and Senior Brother Li Yu had already taken care of him last night, telling him that he didn't have to go to the back mountain to practice today.
After Lin Xiaoyi packed everything up, he came to Jingyue Hall.
I saw that Daoist Xuanye was sitting upright, Senior Sister Su Qiyu was standing beside him, all the senior brothers were standing below, and Senior Brother Dazhi and Senior Brother Xiaowu were also standing in the back position, it seemed that everyone was very concerned about his cultivation.
Lin Xiaoyi stepped forward and stood in front of Master Xuanye Daoist, and immediately saw Senior Sister Su Qiyu standing beside Master smiling slightly at him, her eyes full of encouragement and expectation.
Lin Xiaoyi also nodded slightly to her, and secretly warned herself in her heart, no matter what the result of Master's cultivation test is today, I must go all out, and I can't let Senior Sister Qiyu disappoint me again.
After Lin Xiaoyi saluted his master, Xuanye Dao Chang, he stood there with his hands down.
Daoist Xuanye said with a solemn face: "Lin Xiaoyi, you have been practicing at Chiyue Peak for three years, as a beginner disciple of Wufeng Mountain, do you know the three major passes that you have to go through in your cultivation?" ”
Lin Xiaoyi replied: "The disciple knows that those are the three clearance periods of the first layer of the 'Tai Chi Five Elements Dao Method' 'Zhou Tian', which are half a year, three years and six years. ”
Xuanye Dao Chang nodded slightly, and said: "It's good that you understand, you didn't pass the first level, you are a beginner, and the teacher will give you another chance today, I hope you will do it yourself today!" ”
Lin Xiaoyi said seriously: "Yes! ”
Daoist Xuanye glanced at him, and then said to Zheng Shouyi, the eldest disciple who stood at the top of the disciples: "Shouyi, then you can start!" ”
After seeing Zheng Shouyi stand up and salute the master, he turned his face to look at Lin Xiaoyi, and said with a serious face: "Little junior brother, this second level will be tested by me for the master, I am going to send a sword qi to you now, if you can resist it, then it is considered that you have passed this test, are you ready?" ”
Lin Xiaoyi took a step back, made a parry posture, and replied, "Senior brother, I'm ready, you start!" ”
Zheng Shouyi nodded, and then lifted the sword trick with one hand, and suddenly, a white fairy sword had been sacrificed, hanging a few feet above his head, the sword flickered, dazzling, but only stopped in mid-air, the sword body trembled slightly, and let out a low groan.
After a while, the sword body of this fairy sword suddenly flashed with light, and with a "zheng" sound, a sword qi had already emitted from the fairy sword, flying straight towards Lin Xiaoyi!
The sharp sword that this fairy sword conjured up, shining with dazzling light all around it, was breaking through the sky with an unstoppable momentum!
It turned out that the pause at the beginning of this immortal sword was just that Zheng Shouyi estimated the power of the True Yuan in his body, because after all, this little junior disciple was a disciple who had only been a few years old, and he couldn't exert all his strength, so he could only stay in power.
It's too late, it's fast, and this sword qi rushed to Lin Xiaoyi's side in a blink of an eye!
Lin Xiaoyi only felt that the white light flashed in front of him, and it seemed that an invisible force was attacking his chest, he subconsciously reached out to block it, only to feel that his hands seemed to be absorbed by the sword, and his whole body shook violently, as if he was stepping on the open ground, and he was weak all of a sudden, and his body began to sway.
But he gritted his teeth and persevered, his arms gradually exerted strength, and he took on the power of this fairy sword, and used his own hands to block the sword that attacked him!
After three years of external cultivation on Chi Yue Peak, Lin Xiaoyi still has some strength, he caught the huge power of this sword, and tried his best to fight it!
He insisted on resisting this sword light, beads of sweat the size of beans on his forehead came out, and the green tendons on his hands protruded, although it made him struggle a lot, but he was still struggling to persevere.
That sword light encountered an obstacle and also stopped in front of Lin Xiaoyi, but its light was even worse, and it made people unable to open their eyes.
People and sword light are holding each other up and down there!
Chi Yuefeng's disciples all watched the scene in the field with bated breath, this little junior disciple actually blocked this sword light with his bare hands, and stalemate with it, it seems that there are still two times, but I don't know what the outcome will be this time?
At this time, Lin Xiaoyi in the field only felt that his hands were as uncomfortable as if they were roasted in the fire, he was really a little unbearable, and he really wanted to retreat immediately.
But when he thought that if he really gave up, what was waiting for him would be the infamy of an unsuccessful disciple.
He's already failed once, and he can't fail a second time!
He tried his best to hold on, but the sword light became more and more dazzling and scorching.
With the expansion of that light, Lin Xiaoyi felt that his footsteps were moving backwards, and his body was slowly being forced back by the sword light, as if there was an invisible wall in front of him, which was overwhelmingly pressing towards him, making him unable to resist it!
At this critical and critical moment, Lin Xiaoyi gritted his teeth and tried his best to support it, no matter what, he couldn't let this sword light advance any further, even if it pierced through his body, he couldn't give up easily!
Minute by minute......
Sure enough, the advancement of the sword light was not so smooth, although the light flickered non-stop, it also began to dim, and there was a slight light sound on the fairy sword, as if it had become the end of a strong crossbow, and it could no longer exert its huge power.
Just when everyone was secretly rejoicing for Lin Xiaoyi's ability to do this, the long-suppressed sword light finally burst out of its last power!
A sharp sword qi in the sword light surged out, only to hear a loud "bang", which exploded in front of Lin Xiaoyi, and the sword light was like an arrow off the string, flying towards the front quickly, and Lin Xiaoyi had already been shaken away by the invisible force, his body seemed to be thrown into the air, and the figure shook and fell heavily at the door of the main hall!
And the sword light couldn't be contained, and after passing quickly from the top of Lin Xiaoyi's head, it hit the pool in front of Jingyue Hall, with a thunderous sound, hitting a column of water more than ten zhang high, and then there was a sound of "bang-la-la" water falling back into the pool!
I saw that the water splashed down like a torrential rain, and fell on the water of the pool, creating a big vortex in the pool!
Lin Xiaoyi was half lying at the door of the main hall in shock, only to feel severe pain all over his body, and his internal organs seemed to be about to crack!
Just now, he tried his best to block this sword light, but after all, he was still unable to match the power of the fairy sword, and was shocked by the momentum of the sword light.
In the moment when he was shocked by the sword light and flew towards the door, Lin Xiaoyi knew that he had failed again, and even if he tried his best, he couldn't stop this sword light!
At this moment, he knew that he still hadn't been able to pass the second level of this Wufeng Mountain beginner disciple after all!
Lin Xiaoyi kept gasping for breath in his mouth, and slowly lowered his head, and only now did he have to admit that he had failed!
He could only admit defeat in the face of reality, his three years of cultivation of external skills failed to enable him to win this opportunity, it seems that he really does not have any talent for cultivation.
Xuanye Daoist sat on the top, looking at the embarrassed image of this disciple, he was really angry, ordinary people have been practicing for three years, even if they are stupid people, they can also achieve stable meridians, full of true qi, and will not be easily knocked down, but this disciple has practiced until now, and he can't resist a sword qi, which is unreasonable anyway, for such an unsuccessful disciple, he has nothing to say.
Everyone in the Jingyue Hall didn't dare to come out, I don't know if the master will be angry again today, but the strange thing is that Daoist Xuanye just shook his head, and didn't speak for a long time, only after a long time, he heard him say to Zheng Shouyi beside him: "Shouyi, you better send him down the mountain, I don't need such a useless disciple here!" ”
Everyone was a little moved when they heard this, did the master really want to take this little junior brother out of the school?
This still seems to have no precedent in Chi Yue Peak, and everyone can't help but look at each other for a while, not knowing what to do.
At this time, Su Qiyu, who was standing behind Xuanye Daoist, took the lead and said eagerly to Xuanye Daoist: "Master, Xiao Yi didn't make any unforgivable mistakes, why did you drive him away?" ”
Daoist Xuanye raised his hand to stop Su Qiyu's plea, and turned back to her and said, "Yu'er, you don't have to intercede for him, and I don't need such a qualified foolish disciple here!" ”
Master, who has always been fond of Su Qiyu, seems to be a different person at this moment, and his face is full of indifference and ruthless sternness.
Su Qiyu had always known this master's temper, and it was useless to persuade him again, so he snorted angrily, and ran to the back of the main hall without looking back.
Daoist Xuanye was about to stop her, but he still stopped screaming in his mouth, looking at her like this, there was really nothing he could do with her.
At this time, Zheng Shouyi and Li Yu both stood up among the disciples, and when Zheng Shouyi was about to speak, he was preempted by Li Yu, he knelt down with a puff, and said: "Master, although Senior Brother Xiaoyi did not pass the test, but in his down-to-earth and responsible manner, you should be merciful and take him in!" ”
The rest of the disciples also knelt down one after another and pleaded with Daoist Xuanye.
Looking at the disciples who were kneeling on the ground, Xuan Ye also sighed, and after a while, he finally shook his head and said, "Okay, let's all get up, then let him stay on Chiyue Peak for the time being, but don't come to tell me about this disciple's cultivation in the future!" ”
After finishing speaking, Daoist Xuanye stood up, put his hands on his back, turned around and walked towards the apse, from the time he was about to drive Lin Xiaoyi down the mountain, from beginning to end, Daoist Xuanye didn't take another look at Lin Xiaoyi who was kneeling on the ground!
At this time, all the disciples stood up from the ground, and looked at the back of the master leaving, not daring to make the slightest noise, in the anger of Master Xuanye, no one was afraid of upsetting him again.
Only the second senior brother Li Yu seemed to have something to say, and when he was about to take a step forward, Zheng Shouyi beside him had already stopped him and signaled with his eyes, so that he didn't have to take advantage of this time to disturb the master and his old man.
After the Xuanye Dao Elder left, all the disciples also felt sorry for each other, and then dispersed, and only a few disciples remained in the Jingyue Hall.
And that Lin Xiaoyi was still kneeling alone in the hall, bowing his head, his face full of shame.
If it is said that he did not pass the master's test for the first time, at that time, he was only a disciple who had only been a beginner for three months, and there were still some extenuating circumstances, then this time he failed to pass the test and practice three years later, he was really a little embarrassed, and Master Xuanye's ruthlessness today was also the reason why he was too disappointed in him.
In fact, Lin Xiaoyi himself didn't know that although he had experienced three years of external cultivation, he did not have the slightest trace of true yuan qi in his body, which was no different from a mortal.
Although the immortal sword qi was blocked for a while, it had accumulated more strength, and it had been reversed in an instant, if he hadn't fallen down, I am afraid that this sharp sword might have penetrated his chest long ago.
Zheng Shouyi sighed, patted Lin Xiaoyi's shoulder lightly and said, "Little junior brother, from tomorrow onwards, you won't go to the back mountain to practice external skills!" ”
Lin Xiaoyi raised his head and asked, "Senior brother, why is this?" ”
Li Yu's face also changed, and he helped Lin Xiaoyi and asked, "Senior brother, isn't there one last chance for junior brother in three years?" ”
Zheng Shouyi glanced at Li Yu, frowned, and said, "Senior Brother Li, it's not that you don't know, on our Wufeng Mountain, according to common sense, a disciple didn't pass the first two levels, do you still expect him to pass the third level?" ”
As soon as the words fell, Zheng Shouyi also felt that his words were too heavy, and hurriedly said: "The way of cultivation, it is about talent and endowment, and Senior Brother Xiao Yi has not made any progress in three years, I'm afraid he is really not suitable for cultivation!" ”
Li Yu looked a little hesitant, and wanted to say something more, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to say it, indeed, according to the practice of disciples on Wufeng Mountain, very few disciples who couldn't pass the first level could pass the second level, and as for the third level after six years, they might not even have to think about it.
Because the whole process of cultivation is easy first and then difficult, and if the first easy stage is not successfully passed, then the more difficult the later it is, the more uncertain the chance of winning, so many disciples have already given up the practice of the Tao after the first or second level.
It can also be seen from the words that Daoist Xuanye instructed Zheng Shouyi when he left just now that the master has been completely disappointed in this little junior brother, and he has never asked anyone who has been classified as an unsuccessful disciple by the old man, so it is not unreasonable for the senior brother to tell the little junior brother not to go to the back mountain to practice in the future at this moment.
Lin Xiaoyi looked at the sad look on Li Yu's face, and felt that he couldn't go, he didn't have any interest, but he even affected Senior Brother Li Yu, and he felt sad for a while, and finally said: "Senior Brother Li Yu, let you worry about me, what Senior Brother said just now is right, maybe ...... Maybe I'm really not fit to practice! ”
Li Yu turned his head and looked at the little junior brother he had placed high hopes on, originally expecting him to be able to carry forward Chi Yuefeng, but now, this little junior brother was actually regarded as a disciple without any future in cultivation, which made him unacceptable no matter what.
But the reality was so cruel in front of him, he could only feel sorry for this little junior brother, lamenting that he had suffered such an unfair fate.
