Chapter 15: The East China Sea Sword Sect
Lu Heng said with a smile: "Sword cultivation enters the Tao with a sword, advocating that one sword breaks ten thousand laws and kills the Tao, and it is also killing the Tao with the sword."
In order to comprehend their own Dao, although most of the sects are in the beautiful Cave Heaven and Blessed Land, they will often go deep into the poor mountains and evil waters to carry out crazy slaughter of the barbarian beasts, but they have no hostility towards their fellow clan!"
Shen Yun said: "What the city lord said is very true, the man in white told me that meeting is fate, if you are willing to accompany me to travel for a month, take care of my wine and food, I will accept you as a closed disciple on behalf of the old man, he will arrive at the shore of the East China Sea one day, show the token of the door to the boat family, and naturally the same door will come to contact you!"
Dong Cheng grinned and said: "You are not a sword saint body, even if he wants to pass on your swordsmanship, you can't learn it, if you want me to see it, you are a liar who disguises sword cultivation!"
Lu Heng said with a smile: "What you said is not right, since Jian Xiu advocates breaking ten thousand laws with one sword, then he must first understand ten thousand laws and be familiar with ten thousand laws."
Moreover, among the sword cultivation sects, there are not only sword cultivators, but also many martial cultivators and holy cultivators, although they are basically sparring disciples, but all of them have very high mana!"
Shen Yun smiled noncommittally and continued: "In this way, I accompanied him for a month, and also managed his wine and food for a month.
That last night, we pulled a wagon of wine back to where we met, drank all night, and then I got drunk.
I vaguely remember that the last words he said were: step by step, no haste, be patient.
When I woke up the next day, I found that my senior brother had quietly left, and after a period of melancholy, I returned to Lin'an City.
Then I worked hard to cultivate, not wanting to become a mid-level samurai soon, and my martial arts skills quickly improved to the lower realm, but thinking of my senior brother's words, I didn't rush to apply for the certification exam. ”
Dong Cheng asked as a matter of course: "Didn't your senior brother give you the empowerment to pass on the gong or leave some resources such as pills and magic weapons?"
Shen Yunwan said, "What do you say?"
Lu Heng glared at Dong Cheng fiercely and reprimanded: "You kid, can you casually inquire about the privacy of cultivators! Your cousin can tell us this, which is already a great trust!"
Dong Cheng scratched his head and said with a smile: "Hehe, it's me who lost my words!"
"When you travel in the future, you must pay attention to your words, and if you are someone else, I am afraid that I will already draw a knife against you at this time!" After Lu Heng finished teaching Dong Cheng a lesson, he said to Shen Yun with a smile, "It's because you have endured the humiliation and humiliation of Cao Mo and others all the time, and have always refused to expose your true cultivation, is that so!"
Shen Yun nodded and said: "Since Senior Brother said so, he naturally has his reasons, as for Cao Mo and the others, I think that if I care about them, I will insult myself!"
Lu Heng said: "The poems that your senior brother recited to you are actually the greatest gift to you, which incorporates his deep understanding of Taoism, and it is only because of your ability to cultivate and improve unconsciously.
It's like Fang Cai's song, which broke away from the shackles that have shackled me for many years in one fell swoop, and helped me step one foot into the martial arts realm!"
Shen Yun said: "That poem just now, I just felt that it was appropriate, so I recited it, if the city lord really had an epiphany from this, it can only be said that your opportunity has arrived, and it has nothing to do with me, it is because I have repeatedly refused to accept your gratitude, just like when you relieved me of the siege of Cao Mo, but I have never officially expressed my gratitude to you."
The cycle of cause and effect, retribution is unpleasant.
A drink and a peck, its own fixed number.
It's yours that can't run, it's not yours, and you can't ask for it!"
Shen Yun's words made Dong Cheng and Lu Heng fall into deep thought together.
He didn't say anything more, picked up the scroll that Lu Heng put on the table, and flipped through it.
I don't know how long it took, but the sound of hurried footsteps broke the silence around me.
I saw the housekeeper of the manor rush into the water pavilion in three steps and two steps, and handed a bamboo pipe to Lu Heng.
Lu Heng took out a piece of paper from the bamboo tube, and after reading it, his brows furrowed, and there was no joy on his face.
He apologized to Shen Yun and Dong Cheng: "Originally, I wanted to leave you to get drunk at night, but unfortunately something happened to the Zhenbei Army, I have to come up with a plan quickly, and then go back to the city to convene the staff to discuss, and strive to formulate a perfect and stable countermeasure." ”
Shen Yun and Dong Cheng hurriedly got up to say goodbye, walked out of Henghu Manor under the guidance of the housekeeper, returned to the ferry by boat, and then returned to Lin'an City along the same road.
......
The next morning, Dong Cheng, under the escort of the master of the Wanpin Club, walked into Shen Yun's cross-courtyard with all the items that had arrived.
After waiting for the people of Wanpinhui to leave, Shen Yun took the box containing Pei Yuandan, and left the Dong Mansion with Dong Cheng, all the way through the streets and alleys, and came to an inconspicuous mansion.
After becoming the master of the Shang family, Shen Yun's first request to Shang Shirong was to remove his personal protection and devote all his manpower to monitoring the Cao family's every move.
If he had something to do, he would take the initiative to contact them at the Shang family's private residence in the city.
Shen Yun raised his hand and knocked on the door, the door opened, Shang Shirong walked out of it, and when he saw that it was Shen Yun, he hurriedly smiled and welcomed the two in.
After entering the hall and taking a seat, Shang Shirong ordered someone to serve refreshments, and then said to Shen Yun with a smile: "Gongzi is here, do you have something to explain?"
Shen Yun first introduced Dong Cheng and Shang Shirong to each other, and then pointed to the box on the table, and said, "With my current ability, I can only get these Pei Yuan Pills for the time being, so you can take them back and use them for the clansmen first!"
Shang Shirong said excitedly: "Childe, these things you sent are simply a send-off for us, what do you want to say about the old decay!"
Shen Yun waved his hand and said, "Don't say anything, my cousin and I are here mainly to beg for wine!"
"That's good, I'll go and prepare right away!" Shang Shirong stood up with a smile, "The third child is staring at the door of the Cao family at this time, Shihua can also ask for leave, I will call them to accompany the two sons to have a lively and lively life!"
......
On the first day of April, Shen Yun officially entered the upper house of Beiyuan, and the dormitory was also moved to the student residence of the upper house.
The dormitory of the upper dormitory is not only much more spacious than that of the middle dormitory, but also separated by more than ten steps from the front and back.
After Shen Yun moved in, he thought to himself: "The other party obviously can't harass himself through the way of Humpty Dumpty students, so what kind of despicable means will they use?"
The development of things was somewhat unexpected by Shen Yun, and until the day of the monthly exam, the other party still did not make any unusual moves.
......
In the past few days, in addition to his daily practice, Shen Yun entered the Xingli Ring Mansion whenever he had time to master the drawing of the first-grade rune, and at the same time began to learn the carving technique of the first-grade rune.
At first, Shen Yun was still angry that the drawn talisman could not be taken to the outside world, but after listening to Hulu's careful explanation, he immediately felt ashamed of his ignorance.
In the outside world, if you want to master the drawing skills of the first-grade runes, you must at least successfully draw a thousand first-grade runes, and if you want to complete this goal, it is absolutely impossible to complete it without three or five years. In addition to the normal consumption, even the amount of rune paper and ink wasted is extremely huge.
And Shen Yun is already close to this goal in a short period of time, although the consumption is much more than practicing in the outside world, but what is there not to be satisfied with being able to "buy" time, the most precious thing in the world!
Hulu told Shen Yun that not only the drawing of the rune, but also the carving of the rune, the layout of the rune array, alchemy, refining and other Taoist skills, studying in this Star Glass Ring Mansion will have a quick effect of twice the result with half the effort.
On the eve of the monthly exam, Shen Yun had already mastered the drawing method of the first-grade rune, and began to specialize in the carving of the first-grade rune, in order to reach the state of mastery as soon as possible.
......
The first house is divided into five groups, each group of 10 people, the chief does not need to take the monthly exam, and the bottom of each group will be challenged by the top of each group.
Shen Yun won the first place in the first group of the first house to challenge the first house, and according to the rules, his opponent was the last student in the first house group C.
If Shen Yun can succeed in the challenge, he can enter the first house group C and become a member of Dong Cheng's team.
......
On the eve of the first house challenge, the first house disciples lived.
The living quarters of the students in the first house are all independent courtyards.
Even if they practice martial arts and swordsmanship in the courtyard, they do not affect each other.
In the hall of one of the courtyards, a tall student looked at the pile of glittering spirit stones on the table for a moment, then let out a long sigh, took them all into his arms, and then got up and began to pack his belongings.
......
May 28, Lin'an Academy, Beiyuan Battlefield.
"The third game of the first challenge, Shen Yun on the red side, wins!"
On the fighting platform, the referee raised Shen Yun's arm high.
Shen Yun smiled bitterly in his heart, originally thinking that he would encounter the first fierce battle since the crossing, but who would have thought that the other party actually chose to abstain and give up the coveted seat of the first house to himself.
In the audience, the corner of Zhang Feng's mouth lifted the corner of his mouth, and an intriguing smile appeared on his face.
......
May 29, early in the morning.
With the help of Dong Cheng, Shen Yun moved into the courtyard of the first dormitory.
After the placement stopped, the two left the school hall side by side and walked towards the Dong Mansion.
On the way, Dong Cheng smiled and said to Shen Yun: "Cousin, Shang Shanju's meal may only be invited to you in the future!"
Shen Yun smiled and said: "What, I regret it, isn't it just a hundred taels of gold, it's okay, brother, please!"
Dong Cheng shook his head and said: "What do you think, since my father was hooked by that fox spirit, the development of the Dong family's martial arts has fallen into a stage of near stagnation, causing the overall strength of the three generations of disciples to become worse and worse.
Let's talk about the fifty seats in the first house, the Lu and Cao families each account for three, the He family accounts for two, but our Dong family only occupies one, you say that it is not a shame!"
Shen Yun smiled bitterly: "As a veteran family, it is indeed a little unspeakable!"
Dong Chengdao: "This time you entered the first house, it can be regarded as injecting a rare vitality into the dying Dong family, even if my father and that slut are unhappy, forced by the situation, I have to celebrate you well!"
Shen Yun sighed: "If you are sick and incurable, just rely on Chongxi, how long can you survive and breathe!"
......
After a stick of incense, the two returned to Dong's mansion.
I saw that the lights were everywhere inside and outside the courtyard, and although the people were busy going in and out, everyone had a rare joy on their faces.
"Young Master is early, Young Master Yun is early!"
"Hello young master, hello young master Yun!"
“......”
On weekdays, when they meet, they just flash to the side and bow their heads to the side, and when they see the two, they all bow down with a smile and respect.
Dong Cheng was surprised: "When did the Dong family even know so well about people, did we go to the wrong place!"
Shen Yun chuckled and said, "So attentive, I think I just received benefits!"
The two walked into the hall of Yuemei's courtyard, and when they saw the man who was talking to Dong Yuemei, they were stunned for a moment, and then bowed down together and said, "I've seen the head of the house!"
Dong Sui smiled and said to Dong Yuemei: "The future of the Dong family is all on them!"
After that, he picked up the two Xuanhua Treasure Knives on the table, handed them to the two of them, and said, "This is the highest reward given to you after the discussion of the clan meeting!"
The Xuanhua Treasure Knife is the most suitable blade for middle-level samurai, and the blade is engraved with a Xuanhua rune pattern, which is much tougher than the standard saber, second only to the first-grade spirit knife that has not been blessed with spiritual power.
The two took the treasure knife, in order not to disturb Dong Yuemei and Dong Sui's conversation, they turned around and were about to leave, but when they saw Dong Sui's brows, they raised their noses and sniffed a few times, and asked Dong Cheng coldly: "Tell me the truth, where did you go last night?"
