Chapter 32: Thousand Skill Hall
The two of them went left from the Taiji Palace, passed through the Yushui Hall, and arrived in front of the door of the Thousand Skills Hall, and from the inner room came the shouts of the disciples practicing martial arts seriously. Ye Xiaomu and Peng Ziran walked along the main road to the main house, and the disciples who passed by all stopped to look. The eldest disciple at the head looked at the two of them and smiled, then continued to urge the others to train, and the rows of people began to pick up their swords and wave them again. Yang Xuan, one of the disciples, glanced at the two of them, and said hello, Ye Xiaomu and Peng Ziran also nodded.
Arriving at the main house, Ye Xiaomu and the two saw two men with almost the same appearance sitting on the left and right wooden chairs. But a closer look can still tell the two of them, the two men are about more than 1.8 meters tall. One was dressed in black and had a thicker body, and the other was slender in white. When the two men saw Ye Xiaomu, they stood up and walked to their side.
"Hello two teachers, my name is Ye Xiaomu, and the hall master asked me to study." Ye Xiaomu bowed politely. The two teachers looked at it and nodded with satisfaction.
"Hello two teachers, my name is Peng Ziran." Peng Ziran also saluted politely.
"About the two of you, our two brothers have already heard from the hall master. I am Wan Ge, the master of the Thousand Skill Hall, and this is my younger brother Wan Hai. Our parents are from the wood country and the earth country respectively, and my brother and I also have two skill attributes, wood and earth. In the future, Xiaomu will learn wood skills from me, and Ziran will learn earth skills from my brother. The man in white said.
"Yes, Teacher." Ye Xiaomu and the two said in unison.
"Then Ziran will go out with Teacher Hai to get acquainted with it first, and Xiaomu will stay with me to learn wood control." Vango said to the two. Peng Ziran nodded and followed Wan Hai out of the main house.
"Teacher Nage, where are we going to practice?" Ye Xiaomu looked at the places around him that did not provide practice.
"Let's go to the waterfall in the back mountain. I don't have many disciples, and there are only five of you plus you, and your senior brother and they all went to the Five Elements Pagoda to practice, and you won't be able to see it in the short term. Wango replied. There is no way that in the past thousand years, there are really very few disciples in the wood system who can be accepted, and several disciples are more competitive.
Wan Ge took Ye Xiaomu to return to a path next to the Yushui Hall that happened to be adjacent to the Taiji Palace, and went down. Ye Xiaomu has lived in Taiji Palace for so long and didn't know that there was such a place here, but he could hear the sound of water every night, and the wind at night was cooler than other places. So he followed curiously until the road turned directly behind the Taiji Palace. The Taiji Palace was surrounded by walls, no wonder Ye Xiaomu couldn't see the scenery here.
Before I could see the waterfall, I heard "the sound of the water, the sound of the rushing water, which was like a cascading wave rushing up to the shore, and like a gust of wind blowing into the woods." Ye Xiaomu walked forward, and saw that the waterfall was divided into three layers and fell down the mountain. The waterfall is separated by a waterhole on each level, and the top waterfall gushes out of a cave and crashes against the boulders of the waterhole below. The full pool flows to the next level, but the speed of the flow is slowed down a little. Listening to the sound, you can hear that there are still some disciples in the second-floor waterhole.
Ye Xiaomu continued to walk behind Wan Ge, and saw a group of disciples with blue ribbons on their heads, using their aura to manipulate the water shape. Water takes on various forms. Seeing Ye Xiaomu and the two coming, a disciple who hung the water balloon above his head was temporarily distracted, and the water spread directly above his head, making his whole body wet. The surrounding disciples all laughed in unison.
"Teacher, are these all the disciples of Yushuitang?" Ye Xiaomu asked.
"Yes, it's called Flying Falls. The disciples of the Imperial Water Hall often come here to practice water spiritual power. Wan Ge walked forward on the rows of stone paths across the second-floor waterhole, and Ye Xiaomu followed closely. Cross the stone path and walk straight to a small bamboo forest.
There is actually a small wooden house in the small bamboo forest, a very small one, which I think is used for rest. There is a table, a few chairs, and some living utensils.
"This is where you practice in the future, you can take this wood control technique, and I will teach you some oral duels." After Wan Ge handed Ye Xiaomu the book, he read a few words of oral decision. Ye Xiaomu silently remembered it with his heart.
"All things have spirits, and they move flowers and trees." After saying that, Wan Ge used his aura to inject into the row of bamboos, and a row of bamboos was uprooted with his swing, and he gently shook those bamboos and inserted them into another open space, and the action was done in one go.
"You learn this first, and I'll teach you the rest." Wan Ge thought about this operation, and with Ye Xiaomu's yellow-level second-layer spiritual power, he could control about three bamboos.
Ye Xiaomu obediently stood beside the bamboo, learning Gangwange's movements to inject the aura into the bamboo, and Wan Ge didn't react when he saw Ye Xiaomu raise three bamboos first. As Ye Xiaomu injected more aura, about a dozen bamboos rose. Seeing Wange's eyes widened. After Ye Xiaomu moved the bamboo to one place and planted it. And he went up to her.
"Xiao Mu, didn't the hall master test your aura to be at the second level of the yellow level? There are at least four layers according to your operation. Wango exclaimed.
"Teacher, I've reached the fourth layer of the yellow level. It's time to learn flying. Ye Xiaomu had no choice but to go back to the fourth floor, the ghost knows how much she wants to learn flying skills, so that she can go to find Mochen.
"You've only been here for about ten days, and you've risen to the second floor?" Wango didn't believe his eyes anymore. It takes about a year for other yellow levels to be upgraded to one level, and it takes half a year for those with good talents. Even a genius like Su Rinye has to be promoted to one level in three months. Ye Xiaomu has only been on the second floor for more than ten days, what kind of god operation is this. Of course, it will take longer to ascend to the Xuan level and above.
"Uh-huh. Teacher Nage, can you teach me how to fly? This makes it easier for me to get in and out. You can run away if you have something. Ye Xiaomu pleaded.
"I can teach you the art of flying, but you can't use it anytime soon, and besides, you have to tell me in advance if you want to go far away. Moreover, now that the monthly test is approaching, the same level of the yellow level will be compared. You should be in it. For the time being, you'd better hide some of your strength. Don't force yourself until you need to. Wango said solemnly.
"Yes, teacher. I'll take notice. ”
"Very well, I'll teach you flying now." After speaking, Wan Ge read the words in his mouth, and pointed out a white sword out of thin air with two fingers.
Wan Ge first taught Ye Xiaomu how to control the direction of the sword, and also taught her some of his original sword moves, Ye Xiaomu also took out the moon chop and followed Wan Ge to swing and practice.
In a blink of an eye, on the day of the monthly test at the end of the month, Ye Xiaomu's flying skills and swordsmanship were getting better and better. Even the lotus root silk has changed from five to ten. Of course, her aura cultivation has risen three levels in the past half a month. It's almost time to break through to the Xuan level.
All the disciples gathered around the martial arts arena in front of the main hall, and at this time, you could see that most of the clothes were the same, except for the teachers and some miscellaneous subordinates. Among them, the headbands on the heads of the male disciples are divided into various colors, and the waistbands of the female disciples are also of different colors. Ye Xiaomu had also heard that most of the disciples' hair bands and belts on important days were distinguished according to the branch hall to which they belonged, and they would usually be arranged according to the seven-color level when they went out.
At this time, the disciples of the same color were all gathered around the same disciple to discuss the matter of the monthly examination.
"Senior Sister Mu, come here." Ye Xiaomu listened to the voice of his name and saw Su Jingxuan and Tang Qiu waving to him. There are also friends who usually play with me standing next to him.
"You're here so early?" Ye Xiaomu asked with a smile.
"Sister Mu, you haven't signed up yet, have you? I've just gone to report. Ling Xiao asked.
"Sign up? Where to report? "Ye Xiaomu didn't know when he first came.
"Then, look there, those are all disciples who have signed up for the monthly exam." Ye Xiaomu looked in the direction of Ling Xiao's finger, and sure enough, he saw several rows of disciples lining up writing in front of the table in front of him.
"Then I'll sign up first." After Ye Xiaomu finished talking to everyone, he went to the registration office to line up.
"Yo, isn't this the new Senior Sister Ye?" Chen Yao happened to be in the team on Ye Xiaomu's right and spoke to her in a weird manner, which provoked the surrounding disciples to look at her.
Most people know that Ye Xiaomu is from Taiji Palace, and the others have gossip-shaped jade ornaments on their waists, while the jade ornaments of Taiji Palace are in the shape of jade Ruyi. Some disciples who had not participated in the apprenticeship earlier also looked Ye Xiaomu up and down, and when they saw that he was a delicate and lovely little sister, they all expressed their good feelings.
Ye Xiaomu ignored Chen Yao and continued to line up, so angry that Chen Yao stomped his feet. When she arrived, the registration teacher couldn't help but look at her a few more times, the people of Taiji Palace could choose not to participate, Ye Xiaomu had only been here for more than ten days, and he thought that he had only reported when he was young and vigorous. Hand her pen and ink, and after she signed her name, he handed her a wooden number card, and called the next one in disappointment. Except for the Eight Hall Masters and Hall Masters, there are not many people who really know Ye Xiaomu's identity. It's no wonder that some people are not convinced that she can enter the Tai Chi Palace.
After Ye Xiaomu returned to Ling Xiao, he heard Yang Xuan say that the monthly test was first conducted according to the cultivation of the same level, but in the end, three Xuan-level disciples and the first place of each layer of the Yellow level would be selected from among the disciples in the competition. Among these eleven disciples, they can also get the opportunity to study on the second floor of the Library Pavilion. I've heard that there are a lot of cultivation cheats out there. The top three Xuan-level disciples in the monthly examination also have the opportunity to go to the third-level armory to pick a weapon to use, all of which have spiritual weapons, so the disciples who participate in the monthly examination will do their best to fight for it.
"Then has Senior Brother Pei been there?" Ye Xiaomu looked at Long Shaopei, who was the older in the group, and asked.
"I'm sorry, Senior Sister Mu, Senior Brother didn't have a chance to go there. Among the disciples of our several halls, there are still several who are more capable than me, including Senior Brother Nanxing and Senior Brother Qingyun, the two disciples of Senior Uncle Ge. Senior Brother Su is also among them, and there are a few others who usually don't go out much. Long Shaopei said a little embarrassed.
"I didn't expect that the senior brother of the wood department is quite capable. Will they be coming today? "Ye Xiaomu is a little eager to see it.
"You shouldn't come, several disciples of the wood department have gone to the Five Elements Pagoda to retreat and practice. I won't be out of the country for a short time. Yang Xuan replied.
"That's right, they are all above the sixth or seventh layer of the Xuan level, and they haven't come out for almost half a year after they have been allowed by the hall master to retreat in the Five Elements Tower." Su Jing replied.
"Xuan-level seventh layer?? Then they are all about to catch up with the level of ordinary tutors. What a stake. Peng Ziran couldn't help but praise. Ye Xiaomu and Ling Xiao nodded in agreement.
"By the way, why didn't Ryoichi see anyone today?" At this time, Ye Xiaomu found out that Liangyi, who had always gossiped, didn't come, so he asked.
"The injury on Liang's body was just right, and his master helped him cancel this month's monthly test, afraid that he would come to play if his wound was not healed, so he didn't let him go out." Ning Lan replied in a low voice.
"Senior Sister Ning, why are you so clear?" Ye Xiaomu looked at Ning Lan meaningfully and smiled.
"Of course she knows, and she goes to see him every day with chicken soup." Tang Qiu looked at Ning Lan with a smile.
"He was injured for me, and I should make chicken soup to see him." Ning Lan replied with a blushing face.
"Yes, it should be. The grace of saving lives should be promised by oneself. Hahaha. Ye Xiaomu and Tang Qiu, Ning Lan said jokingly.
These words happened to be heard by Su Rinye, who rushed over. couldn't help but look at Ye Xiaomu, his eyes were full of love, which made Yang Xuan feel ambiguous.
Yang Xuan: Senior Brother Su doesn't want to make a promise to each other, hahaha.
But he did guess correctly, this is what Su Rin Ye really thought.
"Senior brother, you're here." Ye Xiaomu stopped when he saw Su Rin Ye, walked in front of him and asked.
"Yes, there was something just now, and I was delayed, but fortunately it was in time. After registering, I will come to you. Su Rin replied at night.
At this time, the teacher in charge of the competition stood on the beater platform, and all the surrounding disciples fell silent.
