Chapter 20: Ouyang Zhen
[Ouyang Zhen:
I am the only one, and there is no room for two hearts.
The commander of the Imperial Guard, ruthless and powerful, but loyal to the master. γ
In the Qi Control Hall, the disciples were conducting regular Qi Control Technique training under the guidance of Master Qi Zi, and since Duan Feng had no spirit beasts, he could only start with ordinary mental studies.
The Qi Control Technique is divided into five kinds of Qi Techniques: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, each of which corresponds to a substance in nature, and the Qi Master usually chooses one of them to cultivate, and those who can cultivate two kinds of Qi are a minority, those who practice three kinds of Qi are a minority, and those who can cultivate four kinds of Qi are even rarer.
Duan Feng also chose the easiest Wood Qi Technique to cultivate like other sects to start cultivating, compared to the Qi Control Technique, Duan Feng felt that the cultivation of the Qi Technique was extremely easy, and he had already mastered the Wood Qi Technique very proficiently in just three days.
In order to practice the wood qi technique, Duan Feng moved all the flowers and trees in the other quiet rooms to his yard, so that the scorching sun, others could only stay in the room, the windows of the quiet room were very small, and the room was low, and it was very hot in summer, so Duan Feng's actions almost caused public anger, and finally Duan Feng returned other people's trees to their original owners, which calmed down the turmoil.
Regarding the cold ice sword that he lost and recovered, Duan Feng only said that it was repaired by the Armament Division, and the Armament Division has the responsibility of being responsible for various armaments in Phoenix City, and because of the perennial war, weapons are sent here every day, so one more Ice Sword will naturally not arouse the suspicion of others.
After a few days of practice, Duan Feng already knows everything about the wood qi technique, and the rest only needs to be practiced and practical, in addition, Duan Feng began to practice another kind of heart trick - water qi trick, learn the water qi trick, you can control the water and manipulate the water qi.
However, the Water Qi Technique is obviously much more difficult than the Wood Qi Technique, and for half a month, Duan Feng still has not yet entered the Water Qi Technique, but Duan Feng is not in a hurry about it, compared to other sects, his progress is already extraordinary.
At this time, Duan Feng was thinking about another thing, that is, what happened to Ouyang Xuan. How did she explain to her father when she went back, and what happened to her injuries? All of this was concerned about Duan Feng's heart.
Every time he thought of this, Duan Feng would lose his mind a little, and he was reprimanded by the master for this.
Duan Feng's master is a white-bearded old man in his seventies, named Ma Tianxing, and he is also a saint, but he never shows his skills, he only teaches students the mental method, and as for the external skills, he does not leak a bit, and his personality is very pedantic, more like a teacher, who is full of mouths all day long, so everyone calls him a horse master, and he is also happy to be called this title, Duan Feng once suspected that he went to the wrong classroom.
When everyone's training was in full swing, a person from outside suddenly rushed in.
"Rude, rude!" said the horseman, banging on the table with a waking log, his beard cocked angrily.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Mafuzi!" the intruder hurriedly bowed to Mafuzi and apologized, while the red-eared man stood aside waiting to be reprimanded.
Followed by Sima Yu walked in, bowed deeply to the horseman, and said, "Master Ma, bother! The junior is here to announce the order of the young master, and the young master ordered all the men to gather in the main hall. β
Ma Fuzi looked sideways at Sima Yu, stroked his chest-length beard, and muttered, "Wellβit's very rude." Then he waved his hand and motioned for the disciples to follow Sima Yu and leave.
Everyone followed Sima Yu to the main hall, and there was a plaque hanging above the main entrance of the main hall, with three golden characters of "Jiying Palace" written on it. I saw eight heavily armed guards standing on both sides of the entrance of the Jiying Palace, not in the uniform of the Qiqi Hall. In the middle of the main hall, there was an old man with a beard, and it was Ouyang Xuan standing next to him.
Duan Tiande and Liu Nanchun sat on both sides of His Royal Highness, and at the same time, there were Sima Ran, Ling Yan and other main persons in charge of Phoenix City.
When everyone saw this formation, they naturally understood in their hearts that the identity of the people in the palace must be prominent, so everyone stood under the palace with their heads bowed worriedly.
At this time, Duan Tiande stood up and said to everyone, "This is the emperor's envoy, the commander of the Imperial Forest Guard, Ouyang Zhen, and you haven't seen the courtesy yet. β
When everyone heard that it was Ouyang Zhen, they knelt down and saluted. Ouyang Zhen is famous in the East Fence Country, and it is said that Ouyang Zhen is the first qi master in the empire, and his aura is unique in the world. He has been challenged by many Qi Masters, but no one has ever succeeded, and each of them has the goal of being able to join his command.
Duan Feng secretly looked up at Ouyang Xuan on the side, Ouyang Xuan looked at the audience coldly as if nothing had happened, without any traces of injury on his body. Duan Feng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Subsequently, Ouyang Zhen announced something that excited everyone. Ouyang Zhen announced that according to the emperor's order, seven young disciples would be selected from among the newly promoted sects this year to enter the Imperial Forest Guard Heaven Pavilion for further cultivation. As a reserve officer for the future Imperial Guard.
This news immediately caused an uproar in His Highness. Everyone knows that Tianyi Pavilion is the exclusive training base for high-level officers of the Imperial Forest Guard, and only generals with military merits who have received the imperial approval of the emperor are qualified to enter it to study.
Tianyi Pavilion is personally in charge of Ouyang Zhen, and he can get the personal guidance of the first qi master of the empire, and the qi realm will definitely be extraordinary after he comes out. What's more, entering Tianyi Pavilion means that one foot has stepped into the highest power center of the empire, and it will be easy to rise in the future.
Ouyang Zhen continued: "I will be personally responsible for this selection, and my daughter, that is, the Young Master of the Imperial Forest Weiqin Heavenly Division, will be responsible for your assessment and supervision. Ouyang Zhen said and looked at Ouyang Xuan, Ouyang Xuan nodded slightly, her face was still cold.
"For the specific training plan of the Qi Control Division, the commander does not interfere, and the people of the Qi Control Division are still in charge. Ouyang Zhen glanced at Duan Tiande.
Duan Tiande was expressionless and did not respond to Ouyang Zhen, this matter did not seem to attract much attention to him.
The one-month deadline is the final assessment period given by Ouyang Zhen. In a month, the selection will be held, so everyone is ready to work hard for their future.
The training went according to the predetermined plan, and nothing seemed to have happened, except that there was a kind of hostility in the eyes of everyone looking at each other, and everyone saw each other as their opponents, especially in confrontation training, which was even more pronounced.
Only Ouyang Xuan patrols in different training grounds every day, and at this time, everyone works harder, one is because Ouyang Xuan, as a special envoy, is recognized by her, and there is another reason, that is, although Ouyang Xuan is cold all day long, she still can't stop her beauty, if she can become Ouyang Zhende's son-in-law, wouldn't it be directly jumping onto the dragon gate.
Duan Feng was not interested in the Yuelongmen, Duan Feng had a more urgent matter in his heart at this time, that is, what should he do with his spirit beast? Without a spirit beast, how could he cultivate, even if he practiced the qi control method well, without a spirit beast, how could he be regarded as a qi son?
What made Duan Feng even more anxious was that the Qitang suddenly declared martial law, in order to prevent the qizi from cheating, all the qizi were not allowed to go out for a month, and the order was issued by Duan Tiande. This is tantamount to a blow to the self-confidence of some people.
Since you can't find foreign help, you can only train desperately.
On the night that Ouyang Zhen announced this, Duan Feng begged his father to help find a spirit beast, but based on his understanding of his father, Duan Feng still begged his brother Duan Yun to convey it.
In his opinion, if he can enter Tianyi Pavilion, it will also be a glorious thing for the Duan family, and his father will definitely be willing to help.
But to his surprise, Duan Tiande not only did not help with this matter, but reprimanded him harshly, saying that he was not doing anything serious and had no talent.
"The most important thing is that the five yin poisons in his body have not been cleared, and the ban on the qi veins has not been lifted, so he can't cultivate high-level qi control techniques at all. Duan Tiande said helplessly.
"Maybe after entering Tianyi Pavilion, with the ability of Tianyi Pavilion, you can remove the five yin poison in the second brother. β
Duan Tiande asked angrily, "Have you forgotten why I let Feng'er enter the Qi Control Division?"
"No! Duan Yun hurriedly admitted his mistake.
For Duan Tiande, controlling the Qi Control Division in front of him was more important than entering Tianyi Pavilion.
After getting the eldest brother's reply, Duan Feng felt very aggrieved in his heart, but looking back, this was also in line with his father's character.
In Duan Feng's eyes, his father has always been strict with himself, fair and honest, and never did anything favoritism, so he is deeply loved by the people in Phoenix. Thinking about it, this is also the reason why I admire my father.
But he never expected that his father would order the blockade of the Qi Hall, and this order came down the day after he went to ask his father. This shocked Duan Feng a little, it seems that his father really doesn't give him any affection, at least he has to wait for a few days, and then issue an order after he finds the spirit beast.
The matter has come to this point, and Duan Feng is helpless.
But of course, this matter can't help Duan Feng, he has his own way.
Although the order does not allow the door to go out, it does not say that people from outside are not allowed to come in, especially some dignitaries and dignitaries who want to come in to visit their relatives, which I am afraid the guards do not dare to stop.
As a result, the Qitang Hall, which was not lively at all, has become more lively in recent days, and from time to time people will come in to visit their son.
For these, Duan Tiande naturally didn't have time to pay attention. And Liu Nanchun also turned a blind eye, after all, he didn't want to offend most of the dignitaries in Phoenix City because of this.
As for what these people are doing when they come in, everyone just knows it.
No one from the Duan family has ever come, Duan Feng has been complaining that his own brother, who usually loves him the most, does not come to help him, and Duan Yun has always obeyed his father's instructions and has not given Duan Feng any convenience.
Duan Feng felt as if he had been forgotten by his family.
However, fortunately, there is one person who has not forgotten Duan Feng, and this person is Liu Yuwei.
"Also, in such a lively place, how can there be no such stupid girl. When he heard that Liu Yuwei came to visit him, Duan Feng said.
Duan Feng searched for a long time in the Qiqitang before he found Liu Yuwei, and it turned out that when Duan Feng didn't come, Liu Yuwei had already known the entire Qiqitang.
After playing with Liu Yuwei for a while, Duan Feng finally begged Liu Yuwei to help him find the spirit beast. Although I don't think it's very reliable, but the dead horse is used as a live horse doctor, but fortunately, there is Wenbo outside.
Liu Yuwei is very confident in this matter, and looks like she is swearing.
Duan Feng also knew that she just thought it was fun, but she just prayed in her heart that Liu Yuwei wouldn't mess up.
