Chapter 4: Apprenticeship

Zhou Cheng glanced at the several disciples who had climbed up the mountain, and secretly said in his heart, the strength of these disciples was not bad, especially the third-order martial artists led by Ye Siyuan and Ye Bingru, relatively speaking, it was much easier to climb the mountain.

But......

His eyes fell on Ye Lin's body, and he secretly said in his heart: "Although this son's strength is only of the first order, and his understanding is not excellent, his perseverance is acceptable!"

Because only Ye Lin fell to the ground, and the others did not fall.

The Taoist glanced at Ye Lin lightly, then at the other teenagers, and couldn't help sighing: "It's just stupid!"

It is an extraordinary human effort to do things that ordinary people can't reach, and how to create in the future depends on himself!

The Taoist didn't look at the young men who were still climbing at the bottom of the mountain, but shouted softly: "Siyuan, you wait here to rest for a while, and someone will come to answer you."

I took this son down the mountain, he was exhausted, I was afraid that he couldn't stay on the mountain for too long, he thought for a moment and immediately drove a colorful cloud, and took Ye Lin towards the inner hall, not long after he left, those young people just climbed to the top of the mountain, but some Taoists came to answer.

Later, Ye Lin had been sent back to his residence by Zhou Cheng Lao Dao.

On the second day, the bells and drums in Yefu rang, and the aftermath lingered in the ears.

Ye Lin has gotten up, yesterday, the Taoist told him to rest for a day, and today he will go to the main hall to meet, according to this person, if you want to enter the main hall, you must be a disciple who has passed the assessment, and you can see King Ye, Ye Lin looks at this person, he doesn't like words, his expression is solemn, and he has a straight face all day long.

After Ye Lin finished washing, he hurried to the main hall.

Seven turns and eight turns, Ye Lin just walked into the main hall, in the middle of the hall is a vermilion lacquer square platform about several meters high, on which a golden dragon carved throne is placed, behind is the carved dragon screen, there are four tall dragon golden pillars on both sides of the square platform, each big pillar is coiled with a golden dragon, looking up at the top of the hall, there is a huge carved dragon dragon in the middle of the caisson well, from the dragon's mouth holds a silver-white large round bead, surrounded by six small beads.

Looking at it from afar, a huge picture scroll in the center of the hall is displayed in front of people, and there are flowing clouds and flames, rolling wood, mountain stones, fierce and vicious beasts, this painting is vivid and vivid, and there should be a magic method.

Ye Lin just glanced at it, and felt that his soul was deeply immersed in it, this painting in his eyes, like a vast starry sky, he stared up, only felt that he was like a grain of dust in the vast starry sky, it was really a vivid and expressive painting, original, otherwise how could people have an immersive sense of impact.

Ye Lin, don't hurry up and meet King Ye!

A loud voice, the immediate brake into Ye Lin's ears, Ye Lin came back to his senses, and looked towards the throne of the main hall, the original Taoist, since he occupied a seat, but not on the main seat, and another handsome man occupied a position, this handsome man, holding a fan, fluttering like a fairy, he was dressed in a white robe, fluttering, there was a bit of fairy bone wind, it was in and out of the sleeves of the king, shaking the breeze, the breeze sat on the Luo shirt, and the bright moon looked at the jade hand.

On the main seat, it was a middle-aged man, his eyes were deep, his expression was indifferent, he sat on it majestically, his hair was like a halberd, and his momentum was extraordinary.

Ye Lin was shocked in his heart, and he didn't dare to slack off at all, he knelt on the ground, and said again and again, "Meet King Ye!"

Even though Ye Lin had been in the mansion for three years, he had never had the opportunity to meet King Ye, after all, he was only a side disciple of the Ye Mansion.

The middle-aged man glanced at Ye Lin and said indifferently: "Get up!" I heard Zhou Cheng say that you relied on the strength of a first-order martial artist to climb the jade rank, so I was very curious......

Ye Lin understood the meaning of his words, and he also knew at this moment that the person was originally called Zhou Cheng, stood up, and Ye Lin said, "Yes, Lord Ye!"

Well, you are the first disciple to climb the jade rank by relying on a first-order martial artist, and you can be regarded as having a relationship with Zhou Cheng, so it is better to take advantage of this to worship him as a master, what do you think!

Ye Wang, this son......

Taoist Zhou Cheng said to the middle-aged man.

Zhou Cheng, you haven't accepted a disciple for more than ten years, this kid, although his qualifications are a little worse, but he relied on perseverance to climb the jade steps, you should also keep your original promise, right?

The middle-aged man said tepidly.

Got it, King Ye!

Zhou Cheng's gaze moved away from the middle-aged man's body and looked towards Ye Lin, his eyes were cold, and he said coldly: "Since King Ye said so, I will make an exception to accept you as an apprentice." ”

When Ye Lin heard this, he immediately knelt down and said, "Thank you, ...... teacher."

Don't worry, Zhou Cheng made a forbidden action, he said coldly: "To be my disciple, you must obey the three orders, if you don't obey, I won't accept you, are you willing ......to listen?"

Ye Lin nodded and said, "The disciple is willing to listen!"

First, before leaving the school, you must not marry a wife, second, you should be diligent, down-to-earth, do not do things like stealing chickens and touching dogs, chickens and dogs, and third, unless you are worried about your life, you must not kill people at will!

Are you willing to obey it!

Ye Lin nodded and said, "The disciple is willing to abide by it, and he doesn't dare to disobey!"

Okay, from today onwards, you are my disciple, Zhou Cheng said with a little excitement.

Ye Lin had some doubts in his heart, looking at Zhou Cheng's somewhat excited look, he thought that Zhou Cheng expected him to become his disciple, but from his cold tone, he felt that Zhou Cheng did not think much of him, as if it was King Ye's intention to make him Zhou Cheng's disciple.

The doubts in his heart, Ye Lin didn't have time to think about it, the important thing was that he had become a disciple of the Ye Mansion Wubei Pavilion and had a master.

Vertical ......

Ye Lin was already on the dojo where Zhou Cheng was cultivating, saying that it was a dojo, but it was actually a high mountain closed to other places, there was flowing water under this high mountain, there was a stream, everything, but there were not too many people.

This is also the reason why Changli Mansion has been able to survive for a hundred years, every strong person, the disciples they bring are all cultivating in this big mountain, and the connection between this big mountain and other peaks is to let their disciples have a relatively good environment to cultivate, plus the qualifications are good, the speed of cultivation of these disciples is also extremely fast, but in a few decades, they have all become the elite of the Wubei Pavilion.

On the huge dojo, Zhou Cheng stood in front of Ye Lin wearing a green shirt.

Ye Lin stood opposite Zhou Cheng and said respectfully.

Zhou Cheng nodded slightly, and then said: "In the future, you must be there at the end of the day, it is already the middle of the day, you are two hours late, first punish you from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain, and then from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain."

Ye Lin was slightly stunned, swallowed his breath, and said, "Master, haven't you said it yet?" Can you ...... next time?"

Didn't I just say that? Do you have any objections to my words? If there is no objection, then run......

Ye Lin gritted his teeth and immediately said, "Yes, master!"

With that, he ran like a gust of wind towards the foot of the mountain.

On the peak, Zhou Cheng glanced at the foot of the mountain, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, nodded slightly, and then returned to his cold appearance, although the qualifications were a little worse, but there was the persistence and persistence I had back then, after saying this, Zhou Cheng's whole person had disappeared on the top of the mountain.

Ye Lin pursed his lips, his eyes flashed with a little light, and ran towards the foot of the mountain.

In the past, he had never climbed a mountain, let alone running up and down the mountain, but now that he was able to cultivate, the strength of his body was far beyond that of ordinary people.

Running down the mountain, compared to Ye Lin, it was not difficult, because it was going down the mountain, he didn't have too much effort, after running for half an hour, Ye Lin ran down the mountain, just panting for a while, turned around, and Ye Lin ran towards the mountain.

It's not easy to go up the mountain, but it's easy to go down.

After only running a few hundred meters, Ye Lin felt that his legs were weak and weak, and it seemed that he was running up a step, which made his legs and feet tremble, and every step was difficult, but Ye Lin could feel that he had not reached the limit, this mountain, compared to the jade steps he had climbed before, was nothing.

Secondly, Ye Lin is persistent and arrogant, otherwise at his young age, he has persisted for several years, and how did he do it, although this persistence cannot be said to be perseverance, but it is not comparable to ordinary people.

Breathless, beads of sweat the size of beans dripped on his clothes, Ye Lin gritted his teeth, and had no intention of taking a step back, and continued to persevere.

After persisting like this for half an hour, Ye Lin had already finished most of the trip, exhaled, and Ye Lin ran to the top of the mountain with all his might.

When he arrived at the top of the mountain, Ye Lin's heart relaxed for a while, and he was ready to rest for a while......

Is it over?

An indifferent voice came into Ye Lin's ears, Zhou Cheng's figure appeared in Ye Lin's field of vision, he looked at Ye Lin lightly and said, "After running, you go to the bottom of the mountain to chop three bundles of firewood, and after chopping, you are resting." ”

Master, I don't have the strength anymore, Ye Lin said weakly.

Don't tell me that you can't do it, if you want to be my disciple of Zhou Cheng, there is nothing that can't be done, Zhou Cheng said coldly.

Ye Lin just looked at Zhou Cheng, not that he didn't want to speak, but that it was in vain, although he had only gotten along with Zhou Cheng for a few days, but he knew Zhou Cheng's temper very well in his heart, if Zhou Cheng decided, even ten heads and eight cows would not want to pull him back.

Zhou Cheng glanced at Ye Lin and said: "All cultivation, whether it is cultivating the Dao, cultivating demons, cultivating the Fa, or cultivating Buddha, everything always has a foundation, if you don't have a strong physique, your cultivation will become extremely unstable, and the foundation is not stable, let alone cultivating spells." ”

The reason why I punished you for running and asked you to chop wood is to exercise your mind and exercise your physique, you can understand the intentions of the teacher, Zhou Cheng said lightly.

Ye Lin took a breath, heard Zhou Cheng say this, and immediately said: "Master, I understand this, the body is the foundation, rotten wood can be carved, gold and stone can be carved, I understand these truths." ”

A rare smile appeared on Zhou Cheng's face, very good, it's best if you can understand, I will teach you spells, but definitely not now, now you need to cultivate your body and mind well.

During this period of your cultivation, I will not be merciful.

Master, I'll go down the mountain to chop wood, Ye Lin showed a smile on his face, and as he spoke, he took the axe and rushed towards the foot of the mountain.

Zhou Cheng raised his eyebrows, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, surprised by Ye Lin's temperament, and at this time Zhou Cheng's face showed a smile, this smile was satisfied.

But Ye Lin was bitter, he took the axe, walked to the bottom of the mountain, found a dense forest, and began to chop firewood, just ran up and down, I was really tired of running, I had to cut the firewood quickly, otherwise I would not have to rest.

Finding the dense forest, Ye Lin did not rush to chop wood, but walked around, his eyes looked at the crow that had died not long ago, and said in his heart: "How can this crow be blurred in flesh and blood, is it not that the master left some enchantment here, and the birds outside will die if they collide with it." ”

After a little hesitation, Ye Lin still couldn't hold back his curiosity and looked at the crow.

What a disgusting crow, Ye Lin looked at the dead crow, and suddenly felt vomited and dizzy.

You crow, died in this dense forest, there is no place to bury the dead, you met me today, it is your luck, I will find a good place to bury you! Sighing, Ye Lin made a pit in the ground and put the stinky and disgusting crow corpse into the small pit.

Just as he was about to bury the crow's body, a faint light flickered inside the crow's body.

Hey...... How can this crow's body release light, Ye Lin looked at the crow's corpse in surprise, and looked at it carefully without blinking.

I saw that the light in the crow's belly was gathering more and more, and finally it seemed to come out of its body, a bright light flickered, and a small bottle appeared in front of Ye Lin's eyes.

The surface of this bottle is extremely smooth and the material is crisp, what kind of bottle is this, Ye Lin had doubts in his heart.

Ye Lin picked up the bottle with both hands and carefully looked at it, and the front of the bottle was engraved with four ancient Sanskrit characters, which said: "Manna Treasure Vase"

In addition to the four big characters on the front of the vase, there are some peculiar patterns and carvings, inlaid with dragons and phoenixes, and accompanied by the waves of the East China Sea.

After Ye Lin picked up this bottle, the light of this treasure bottle immediately dimmed.

He glanced at the mouth of the bottle with some confusion, but felt a fragrant smell come out.

It's so fragrant, I've never smelled this smell before, Ye Lin said secretly in his heart: "He poured the bottle, but saw a fragrant liquid flowing out of the treasure bottle." ”

The liquid dripped out drop by drop, and if you looked closely, it was a sweet nectar.

It just so happened that I was also thirsty, and there was nectar in this bottle, which was really good, Ye Lin secretly said in his heart: "Immediately, without any hesitation, I took a small sip of the nectar in that bottle." ”

After drinking this small sip, Ye Lin felt that the slightest coolness continued to pour into his body, his body also felt warm, the sweet taste of this nectar was quite delicious, he didn't know why there was nectar in this bottle, carefully checked his body, Ye Lin felt that his fatigue had been eliminated, even the physical strength consumed by going up and down the mountain before had recovered a lot.

Ye Lin rubbed his eyes and looked at the nectar vase incredulously.

This nectar vase must be a good treasure, Ye Lin was pleasantly surprised.
