Chapter 10: Silent Clouds

There are more than a dozen large and small peaks in Yongshan Mountain, where the Jingyun Sect is located, but most of them are occupied by the six branches of the sect. The remaining peaks are built on top of a series of important buildings such as the deacon hall, the scripture pavilion, and the council hall, which are in good order.

Among them, the six major branches are Xuantian, Flowing Water, Shadow Immortal, Flame, Biyun, and Sword Peak. Among them, Xuantian Peak is the main hall, which is in charge of the sect master, and the others are occupied by his senior brothers.

......

The main hall, Xuantian Peak

In the main hall, the sect master of Jingyun Sect "Dao'an", the master of Flowing Water Peak "Occult Moon", the master of Shadow Peak "Changshu", the master of Flame Peak "Huang Yan", the master of Biyun Peak "Han Yu", and the master of Sword Peak "Zhao Fangli" were sitting in the high hall, but everyone seemed to have a warm and angry look on their faces.

Everyone in the audience was dressed in the clothes of Jingyun Sect, both men and women. Most of them have blades, mostly long swords. Now the six people sitting on the chair are even more imposing, standing in groups. Especially the one sitting in the middle who was dressed in a gray Taoist robe, with a crane bone immortal wind, like an immortal, was naturally the famous Jingyun Sect Master "Dao An".

Sect Master Dao'an sighed and said slowly: "I invite you to come here today to discuss, and ask you what you think about the sudden tragic death of Senior Brother Han at this apprenticeship conference?"

There was silence all around, and sighs could be faintly heard.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Sect Master Dao An broke the silence and said, "Senior Brother Huang, what do you think?"

Huang Yan, the owner of Flame Peak, was silent for a moment and said loudly, "This incident happened suddenly, but it was by no means accidental. I don't think the death of Senior Brother Han has anything to do with the cult. ”

Zhao Fangli, who was beside him, frowned, and said, "What Senior Brother Huang said is very true, but I don't know how the Demon Sect Demon Man made a move! Besides, with Senior Brother Han's cultivation, I am afraid that you and I will not be able to defeat him for a while." ”

Speaking of this, there was silence in the hall again.

At this time, the moon who had been silent took over the words and said, "The people of the Demon Sect are inscrutable, and they may use some evil secret techniques, but I don't know about it. ”

Huang Yan snorted when he heard this, and said, "The Moon Occult Fairy is wrong, if that Demon Sect person knows that kind of secret technique to kill Senior Brother Han in an instant, why hide and hide, I'm afraid that our cultivation strength will not be able to stop it." ”

The Moon Occultation Fairy was just about to speak, but he heard Han Yu, the owner of Biyun Peak, say thoughtfully: "Could it be that the person who came up to the mountain to apprentice is mixed with demonic spies?"

"That's impossible, after Elder Han died suddenly, I personally investigated all the candidates, and there was nothing unusual. The master of the Shadow Peak said with a long book.

"That's weird!" Han Yu's face was full of puzzlement.

"Our dignified Jingyun Sect, can we just tolerate the tragic death of our own family elders at home?" Huang Yan said loudly.

The master of the Shadow Peak, Changshu, smiled bitterly and muttered: "But we don't even know who the murderer is, so how can we tolerate it. ”

Then the hall fell silent again.

In the end, it was the sect master Dao'an, and said slowly: "The vast land of Shenzhou is extremely vast, I don't know how many things that are not in the world that we don't know, and we are just frogs at the bottom of the well at best." ”

Hearing this, everyone's faces couldn't help but sink slightly, "Regarding the death of Senior Brother Han, I am also very sad, our Jingyun Sect will never stop here, and will definitely do our best to find out the real culprit, otherwise how can there be face in our sect?"

"What the Sect Master said is very true!"

......

Jingyun Sect, Registration Hall

In a slightly gloomy stone house, there stood a thin old man with somewhat cloudy eyes, and in front of him stood a dozen disciples who seemed to be just starting out, walking towards him one by one.

This is the registration hall, and as the name suggests, it is a place to register and identify yourself. It is also the place where beginners receive the necessary items and select exercises.

Time passed in a hurry, and soon it was Lin Yu's turn.

Lin Yu reported his name, and after the old man verified that it was correct, he walked towards the cyan wall behind him, which seemed to be empty. The moment the old man's palm touched the wall, there was a wriggling around the wall.

As a result, a strange scenario emerged.

The wall dissipated, and a very dark room appeared, and when seen from the door, it was stacked with scrolls of books.

The old man seemed to be accustomed to Lin Yu's expression, so he didn't care, and said indifferently: "You have a quarter of an hour to choose the exercises, and you must come down within a quarter of an hour, so you have to choose the exercises quickly." ”

"Understood. ”

After speaking, Lin Yu suppressed the excitement in his heart and walked in with a calm expression.

As soon as you step into the house, the cold air blows to your face, and when you look at it, the whole room seems to be misty and uncertain, and it is very dark inside, which makes people feel like they are in a dark winter night.

With a shudder, Lin Yu's attention returned to the cheats, no longer paying attention to the cold.

After taking a few steps forward, Lin Yu looked around and found that even the bookshelves were not made of ordinary materials, but silver and white jade worth thousands of gold. The surrounding decoration is even more classical, revealing nobility.

But Lin Yu was not allowed to think about it, he only had a quarter of an hour......

Lin Yu casually picked up one and flipped through the title page, then put it down, and then picked up another one, put it down, and just raced against time......

Time is like water, and dozens of books are available in a blink of an eye, but there are very few exercises that are really suitable for you. In this world, it is not people who choose exercises, but people who choose exercises, and Lin Yu only understood the meaning of these words at this time.

Lin Yu looked at the room full of exercises, but none of them suited him, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The distraught Lin Yu was about to take a random copy of the exercises, but just as he was about to pick it up, he found that there was another scroll under this scroll, which seemed to have been placed below intentionally or unintentionally.

On the cover of the scroll is written in three bold letters, "Edgeworth".

Reaching out to pick up the sword, Lin Yu opened the first page to read.

"Okay, this exercise can actually resist the flying sword and hurt the enemy, that's it. After reading the introduction, Lin Yu's eyes lit up, and he said with a little excitement.

......

After Lin Yu registered with the scroll and received the necessary items, he went to find his place to live with the other beginner disciples under the leadership of the disciples of the Jingyun Sect.

In the blink of an eye, he ran through more than a dozen places suitable for disciples to live in the whole mountain.

At the suggestion of this Jingyun Sect disciple, the freshmen all chose their own residences.

The place Lin Yu chose was a small courtyard composed of several houses on the mountainside of the Shadow Peak, which was not only very remote, but also extremely secluded, which was an excellent place for Lin Yu to practice.

And Lin Yu was also assigned to the branch of the Shadow Peak controlled by Changshu, and became one of his disciples.

After days of hurrying, coupled with today's busyness, Lin Yu was already physically and mentally exhausted, so he couldn't stop being sleepy anymore and fell asleep.

Lin Yu didn't know how long he had been asleep this night, but when he opened his eyes again, the sun was already scorching outside the window, and it was afternoon.

After Lin Yu rubbed his eyes lazily, he got up and walked to the well in the small courtyard outside the house to wash.

Lin Yu casually picked up a bucket of well water by the well, drank two sips with his hand, and immediately felt that the water was very sweet, and there was a cool meaning that went straight to his heart, and he couldn't help but feel refreshed. So I simply sank my head directly into the bucket to appreciate its coolness.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door in the courtyard, and at the same time, a hearty voice came: "Senior Brother Lin, you can be inside. . . ”

Lin Yu was slightly stunned, but he still tidied up his clothes slightly, got up and walked out of the house.

I saw five people standing under the dejected willows outside the house.

Four of them Lin Yu knew that they were disciples who started with Lin Yu. The other was a man in his twenties, with a few inches of hair and a handsome young man dressed in white.

"I don't know what a few senior brothers are looking for me?" Lin Yu slowly opened the door, stepped forward a few steps, and asked with some doubts.

The man in white smiled indifferently and said, "It seems that Senior Brother Lin is so forgetful, today is the day for the freshman disciples to meet the master, doesn't Senior Brother Lin know?"

"It seems that there is such a thing, thank you senior brother for reminding me, otherwise I will delay the big event. Lin Yu was slightly stunned, but immediately reacted and said.

"Where, you and I are originally from the same clan, and we belong to the branch of the Shadow Peak, and it is within our duty to help each other. The man in white hurriedly returned the salute and said with a smile on his face.

"Hehe, what the senior brother said is very true, and I don't know the names of several senior brothers. Lin Yu said with a slight smile.

"Haha, Senior Brother Lin didn't say that I forgot, my name is Yang Fan, these Senior Brother Lin should also recognize, from right to left are Liu Lianshan, Zhang Zhao, Ye Ling and Liao Feng. After Yang Fan grinned, he pointed to the ordinary disciples behind him and introduced.

At the same time as Yang Fan's roll call, Lin Yu nodded slightly to a few people with a smile on his face, and of course several of them naturally smiled and nodded in return.

"Hehe, since today is the day to meet the master, then without further ado, hurry up, otherwise the master will be blamed. Lin Yu said with a slight smile.

"Since that's the case, then Yang won't say much, let's go now. Yang Fan looked at everyone and said, and immediately, a sword behind him automatically flew out and changed into a Zhangxun giant sword.

When Lin Yu and the others saw it, they couldn't help but open the corners of their mouths slightly, and they were slightly surprised.

"What?" Lin Yu's face was excited, and he said, "Senior Brother Yang can also use swordsmanship?"

"Sort of. Yang Fan smiled slightly, his face was slightly colorful, and said: "Flying with the sword is a compulsory skill for the disciples of this sect, although you can't travel thousands of miles a day, it shouldn't be a problem to fly a hundred miles." Departure now, in a few quarters of an hour, you will be able to reach the main hall of Shadow Peak in about a few quarters of an hour. ”

"That's great," Lin Yu said with a look of longing on his face, "It will save us a lot of time." ”

When Lin Yu and the others went up, Yang Fan also flew to the surface of the sword, and with a slight stand of his fingers, Lin Yu felt as if there was an invisible air pressure that wrapped him, imprisoned on the sword, and could not move.

At this time, Yang Fan reminded: "Senior brothers, you have stood firm, and we will set off." After speaking, the white light of the giant sword under his feet appeared, and he broke through the air.

......

After looking at the picturesque sea of clouds above the Shadow Peak, the ethereal white clouds suddenly dispersed, and Lin Yu and a few others landed on the small square in front of a certain main hall.

This peak is tall and tall, majestic and colorful, and the peak shrouded by a faint halo of colorful light is the main peak of the Shadow Peak. It makes people look forgetful, like a fairyland, and sighs at the fairy mountain.

In the main hall square, there were already more than a dozen white-robed Shadow Peak disciples waiting.

In front of these disciples, there was a man in his thirties with a feather fan on his waist, sitting on a stone bench with his eyes closed, like an immortal out of the dust.

"Meet the master!" Yang Fan saw the man with his eyes closed, and immediately stepped forward and said respectfully.

When Lin Yu and the others saw this, they knew that the seemingly young man in front of them was their master, and they didn't dare to slack off, so they immediately greeted him.

"No need to be polite, get up. Hearing this, Changshu waved his hand first, and then said lightly. His eyes never opened, and if he didn't speak, he might have thought he had fallen asleep.

After a while, after the disciples arrived, Han Yu finally slowly broke open his eyes and stood in front of a group of disciples.

At this time, the originally noisy square also calmed down. The new initiation disciple and the original disciple of Shadow Peak were also consciously divided into two columns.

Changshu glanced at all the disciples, and then told the disciples in the audience about many forbidden laws and sect rules in the sect. Although it was boring and boring, each disciple still listened attentively.

This talk is a long time, after all, it is a famous sect in Lingzhou, and there are inevitably a lot of forbidden laws and sect rules.

"Okay, in the future, you will slowly understand the relevant things in the sect. If you don't understand anything about cultivation or other aspects, you can ask your senior brothers and sisters first. If they can't answer the question, they can come to me. Changshu took a sip of tea and added:

"Alright, you all go down. In two months, it will be the day of the new life and the Six Pulse Conference, and you must cultivate diligently to win glory for your own lineage!"

Below, naturally, there were many disciples agreeing in unison.

The Six Veins Conference is the biggest event of the Jingyun Sect, and all the lineages of the same sect regard it as a top priority, and all the disciples of the same sect who can be selected to represent each lineage in the battle are all outstanding figures. The Six Veins Conference is not only full of momentum, but also the winner's reward is also very strong, and the top ones will focus on the cultivation of the sect.

Although the Jingyun Sect has a long history, each vein is harmonious on the surface, but there is a sense of competition with each other inside, if the disciples of this branch are cultivated by the sect, then the strength of its branch will definitely increase significantly, so they will attach great importance to this.

Of course, Lin Yu is also very greedy for the reward of the sect, but the current goal is to get a place in the small competition of this branch, otherwise everything will be delusional.
