On the sixteenth day of the lunar month, the Songshan faction was sent to the school field.

The hour had passed, and the morning exercise had ended, but all the disciples were not in a hurry to leave, and they all stood quietly in place, waiting for Zuo Lengchan's speech. I saw that on the high platform of the school field, Zuo Lengchan was standing in the center, and Ding Mian and Fei Bin were on both sides.

After the disciples below were quiet, Ding Mian said loudly: "The annual Songshan Contest has all ended yesterday, and today will reward the disciples who have won the rankings, and now please stand in the front row for the top five disciples." ”

Lin Han patted Xu Zheng's shoulder and said, "Go ahead." Xu Zheng nodded, hurriedly stepped forward, and stood in a row with the other four disciples facing the high platform.

Ding Mian looked at Zuo Lengchan, and after he nodded in agreement, he continued: "The second-generation disciple Liu Xuewen, twenty-one years old, has been in the beginning for ten years, and has been practicing internal skills since the beginning, and the Songshan Heart Method has reached the fourth layer, and he won the fifth place in this competition. ”

When Liu Xuewen heard that the prize was the Seventeenth Road Songshan Swordsmanship, his slightly dark face turned red, which showed his desire for this swordsmanship. Don't dare to delay, hurriedly walk a few steps to stand in front of Ding Mian, raise his hands high, and after Ding Mian put the manuscript of swordsmanship in his hand, he thanked him loudly: "Thank you for the love of the head and all the masters." ”

Liu Xuewen walked back to his original position in the envious gaze of all the disciples, he couldn't help but be excited, and ten years of penance finally shined today. There has long been a rule in the Songshan sect that no matter whether a disciple is learning palm or swordsmanship, he must have a high-level technique to press himself before he can walk the rivers and lakes. Liu Xuewen obtained the seventeenth Songshan swordsmanship today, and if the swordsmanship is a little successful in time, he can walk the rivers and lakes with a sword.

Although everyone on the school field is already an inner disciple, only those who have learned a profound martial art like Liu Xuewen can be regarded as an inner disciple in the true sense, so it is no wonder that other disciples are envious.

Based on this, there is an annual disciple competition, which can not only pass on the martial arts of this sect, but also encourage other disciples, as long as they work hard, everyone has a chance.

Zuo Lengchan and the others looked at the reactions of the disciples in the audience, they were very satisfied, and nodded to Ding Mian to continue.

"The disciple who won the fourth place below is He Jin, twenty years old, ten years old, the Songshan Heart Method has also reached the fourth layer, the basic palm method is proficient, and he will be rewarded with a handwritten copy of the first five layers of the Great Songyang Divine Palm." Ding Mian continued.

He Jin and Liu Xuewen and others are the same group of beginners, ten years ago in the group of people, He Jin, Liu Xuewen's qualifications are not good, just middle and upper qualifications, the most elite twenty people have practiced the Songshan heart method to the third level at that time, Zuo Lengchan arranged for them to stay under the Fengzen platform to welcome the other four factions of Wuyue, originally to deter the other four factions. Who knew that there were unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and the Demon Sect attacked Feng Chan Tai, and the twenty elite disciples died out in an instant, and only a few people accompanied Zuo Lengchan on Feng Chan Tai and survived.

After Ding Mian announced the rewards for the fourth or fifth place, he motioned for Fei Bin to step forward. Fei Bin was also not polite, and then Ding Mian's words said loudly: "The third place in this big competition is Xu Zheng, thirteen years old, five years ago, he is really a hero, it is not simple, at the age of thirteen, he can beat many senior brothers in his twenties, which can be called a manufacturable material." In view of the fact that his internal strength and heart method have been cultivated to the fourth level, and the basic swordsmanship is also very proficient, he is specially rewarded with the first three ways of the seventeen-way Songshan swordsmanship, and I hope that all disciples will take this as a reference. ”

There was a commotion among the many second-generation disciples below, and they actually rewarded the three-way Songshan swordsmanship, which was three times that of Liu Xuewen, he was only thirteen years old, and his future was limitless, and everyone had the idea of making friends with a good life.

Not mentioning the thoughts of other disciples, Lin Han was really happy for him, Xu Zheng was Lin Han's only friend in this world, and he was able to achieve such results, and it was not in vain to give him his usual guidance. After all, he is a teenager, and if it were not for Lin Han's urging, it would be difficult to have Li Ji's results, although the two had the same qualifications.

Fei Bin raised his hand to signal, and after everyone was quiet, he said again: "The second place in this big competition is Li Ji, eighteen years old, five years old, the fourth layer of Songshan Heart Method, proficient in basic palm techniques, and his qualifications are also very extraordinary. ”

Lin Han looked stunned when Li Ji stepped forward to receive the prize: No? How could it be that the prize for the second place was exactly the same as for the fourth place?

At that time, when Xu Zheng's prize was announced, Lin Han was a little puzzled, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong for a while, but now he finally found out that the reward was too light. In terms of Xu Zheng's qualifications and progress in martial arts, there is no difference between giving him the three-way Songshan swordsmanship and giving Liu Xuewen the one-way Songshan swordsmanship.

At this time, Zuo Lengchan stepped forward and said: "The first place announced below is Di Xiu, twenty years old, ten years old, the fifth layer of the Songshan Heart Method, the seventh layer of the Great Songyang Divine Palm, and the tenth path of the seventeenth Songshan Sword Technique. ”

Di Xiu hurriedly stepped forward, raised his hands high, took the secret book, and replied loudly, "Thank you Master for the reward." ”

Zuo Lengchan nodded: "Well, you go down, work hard, don't let me down." ”

Di Xiu is a disciple of Zuo Lengchan, and He Jin, Liu Xuewen and others joined the faction at the same time, and his qualifications are even better, five years ago he escaped a catastrophe because he accompanied Zuo Lengchan, and was accepted by Zuo Lengchan as a personal disciple soon after, but now it is unsatisfactory compared with Lin Han.

Zuo Lengchan looked at Lin Han, only to find that this Di Xiu was unbearable, and ten years of hard work had not broken through the Songshan Mental Method to the sixth layer, so how could it be of great use in the future. This also led to the following decision.

I saw Zuo Lengchan cough and said: "In addition, this time there are also many talents who can be cultivated in Dabi Benmen, and the head of this sect has decided to accept Li Ji and Xu Zheng as apprentices, and others can also worship them as teachers if they can get the favor of your masters." ”

Li Ji and Xu Zheng were overjoyed, glanced at each other in unison, stepped forward and bowed: "Meet Master." ”

The situation in front of him made Lin Han dumbfounded, his eyes were about to pop out, and his mind was full of questions: So you will worship Zuo Lengchan as a teacher?

Thinking of his thousand calculations, it was really "sometimes necessary in life, and there is no time in life to force it", Lin Han only felt that it was too bullying to play like this.

It's good to say that he also came to this world with an aura, why is there such a big gap with Xu Zheng, isn't his "protagonist aura", but a "cursed aura"?

Zuo Lengchan on the stage had an unobstructed view of the expressions of the disciples below, especially Lin Han, who he focused on. Seeing Lin Han's 10,000-year-old face thaw in an instant, the bloody mouth seemed to swallow his tongue, Zuo Lengchan was also full of helplessness: I want to take you as an apprentice, but Senior Brother Ding is too fast, and it is not good for me to snatch people from my junior brother. The hand is fast, the hand is slow, Zuo Lengchan looked at Ding Mian with a resentful face.

Ding Mian was uneasy under Zuo Lengchan's pinprick-like gaze, and forcibly didn't look at Zuo Lengchan, and said in his heart: "Although Li Ji and Xu Zheng are worse than Lin Han, they are also extraordinary, and besides, you already have Di Xiu and these people under your door, and you don't want Ding to accept an apprentice, even if this apprentice's talent is really higher, isn't that still a disciple of my Songshan faction, and Ding someone's eyes have been hot for a long time, and no one who eats it in his stomach wants me to vomit."

After Lin Han's resentment erupted strongly, if he thought about it seriously, this matter was understandable. Those disciples on Zuo Lengchan's side really don't have any successes, and Na Di has only reached the fifth level after ten years of practice, and his qualifications are not bad, but he can't reach the sixth layer for a long time, no wonder Zuo Lengchan is not satisfied with him.

Just now I said that the rewards of Li Ji and Xu Zheng were not rich enough, but now I found that the rewards were simply against the sky, how many people in the rivers and lakes can enjoy such treatment?

Fortunately, Lin Han himself is not bad, as Zuo Lengchan's second junior brother, Ding Mian is definitely a powerful figure in the Songshan faction, and he has won Zuo Lengchan's trust. As the founding disciple of Ding Mian, no matter how talented and perseverance I am, it is too easy to take the Buddha of Zuo Lengchan, so it is not equivalent to worshipping Ding Mian and Zuo Lengchan as teachers, which seems to be very wonderful.

Not to mention that Lin Han complained there, the second-generation disciples in the audience exploded, those disciples who started five years ago were just envious, knowing that those two people were indeed better than themselves, and those disciples who started ten years ago were depressed, if it weren't for Zuo Lengchan and the others who were very majestic on weekdays, I was afraid that they would be about to shout, why, if the head of the master wants to accept disciples, he should also choose from those disciples who started first, and choose from those juniors.

Zuo Lengchan also knew that in the disciples who entered the later entry, although those people might not dare to express anything, they would eventually be dissatisfied, and it would be terrible after a long time, and this discordant factor could not exist. shouted loudly at the moment: "Whatever you are arguing about, give me a quieter, what kind of system they are, and make people laugh in vain." ”

After everyone was drunk, Zuo Lengchan said with an expression of hatred that iron is not steel: "You still have the face to say, what have you done in ten years of practice, and you can't even compare to the junior brother who has only cultivated for five years?" ”

Looking at the people who were being taught a lesson and drooping their heads, Zuo Lengchan was angry, his face turned red, and he scolded: "The same internal strength and mental method, the same basic sword technique, the same basic palm technique, the same qualifications, twice the time, this is how you repay the sect?" In the future, I will add half an hour to the time for morning exercises, and anyone must go to the school for morning exercises, and they are absolutely not allowed to hide in the room, unless they break through to the fifth layer of the mind; If I find out that any disciple is still hanging out in the future, waiting for me to look good, do you hear? ”

With a bitter face, the crowd replied, "I heard." ”

Fei Bin saw that everyone was answering weakly, and scolded angrily: "Didn't you eat? Give me a loud voice. ”

Lin Han shook his head below: This Fei Bin is really a bit second, isn't it just that he hasn't eaten, he is a little hungry when he mentions it like this.

Seeing that Fei Bin was furious, Zuo Lengchan's face was also cloudy, and he didn't dare to paddle anymore, so he replied loudly: "I heard it, follow the teachings of the head and all the masters." ”

Ding Mian saw that Zuo Lengchan no longer spoke, knowing that he didn't want to say any more, and he was also hungry by Fei Bin's word "eat", so he waved his hand and said to the disciples below: "Remember the words of the master, go back and practice hard, and if you have the opportunity to learn from the teacher in the future, you will have the opportunity to learn from the teacher, and they are all gone." ”

When everyone gradually dispersed, only Zuo Lengchan, Ding Mian, Fei Bin, Di Xiu, Li Ji, Xu Zheng and Lin Han were left in the field. Lin Han walked up to Ding Mian and said, "Master, the disciple has something I want to ask you and Senior Uncle Zuo for help. ”

Although Lin Han has been apprenticed for a year, Ding Mian is very comfortable every time he hears Lin Han call his master. probably knew what was going on with Lin Han looking for him, and said, "Well, you finally figured it out, go to eat first, and then talk about it." ”

Lin Han nodded, and then the seven of them walked towards the dining hall.
