Chapter 5 Questioning
Xu Xingchen walked in front of the two old men, Patriarch Guyang looked him up and down with expectation, and after seeing his level clearly, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and said, "Your idea just now is very good. In terms of literary thought, you should be an extremely intelligent person. I remember you, it's been almost seven years since you started, but I see that your Dao attainments, how can you only break through the first layer of my Void Cloud Dao Method?"
Xuyun also had such doubts in his heart, and looked at Xu Xingchen suspiciously.
"The disciple is not talented, his talent is mediocre, and he knows almost nothing about cultivation, so he has been getting started for many years and has not made much progress. Please punish the master!" Xu Xingchen clenched his fists and told the truth.
"The answer you said, the answer is really wonderful!" Xuyun glanced at Xu Xingchen suspiciously.
"The head of the master has won the award. Xu Xingchen said, completely ignoring the disbelief in Xuyun's tone.
"Isn't this answer of yours stealing other people's thoughts?" Xuyun asked as he looked at the disciple in front of him who seemed to have extremely mediocre talents, and it was hard to believe that he could answer such a subtle answer.
"Disciple no!" Xu Xingchen said without any emotion.
"But with your qualifications, it is completely impossible to have such an answer!" Patriarch Gu Yang has always been upright and never concealed what he thought in his heart.
"The disciple really doesn't!"
The two old men glanced at each other, their eyes were full of doubts about the young man, Xuyun frowned slightly, as if he was extremely disappointed in Xu Xingchen, and said, "Your qualifications are really poor, and it is a great luck to be able to enter my Xuyun Sect to learn the Tao." The question I just raised is a question that makes you feel temporarily, and even a genius like Lin Wen can't answer it perfectly. โ
Xuyun paused, glanced at Lin Wen, and continued: "And a person with mediocre talents like you, if he didn't steal other people's thoughts, how could he think of such a perfect answer in such a short time of thinking?"
Xuyun Shangxian and Gu Yang Patriarch taught were all disciples with good talents, and they had always been prejudiced against people with ordinary talents like Xu Xingchen, thinking that it was completely impossible for them to do outstanding deeds, so they said mercilessly.
Xuyun questioned Xu Xingchen, and the disciples below all looked at this young man with sympathy, not believing that he would do such a corrupt thing.
"Back to the master, this answer is indeed the disciple himself who came up with it, and he definitely didn't steal other people's thoughts!" Although Xu Xingchen still did not have the slightest hint of weakness and timidity, he was really aggrieved in his heart, and tears couldn't help but flow out.
Xuyun looked at the young man again, the disappointment and dissatisfaction in his eyes were intertwined, he sighed, tried to calm his emotions, and said, "At a young age, you stole the achievements of others, and you still don't know how to repent and lie. Not to mention your mediocre talent, let's just say that you have such a bad heart, and you have nothing to do with my Xuyunmen. โ
The two old men were extremely prejudiced against mediocre people, and such undisguised sharp words pierced Xu Xingchen's heart like a dagger.
"Master, the disciple believes in Xu Xingchen, he will never do such a thing!" Hearing such words, Lin Wen finally couldn't help it. Xu Xingchen has always been very good friends with him, and he also knows that he has a good character, so he jumped out first and said.
"The disciple also believes it!" Yang Cheng also stood up and vouched for Xu Xingchen.
"Although Xingchen has a relatively indifferent personality, he has a good character and has never done anything bad, so the disciple believes in him!" Lin Wen said with a righteous face.
Xu Xingchen looked at the two of them, and his heart, which had just been chilled by the two old men, suddenly warmed.
"What's the use of you believing it?! His qualifications are so mediocre, it is completely impossible to answer such a subtle conclusion!" Gu Yang glared at the two indignant teenagers fiercely, and immediately suppressed their momentum.
Lin Wen was unwilling, and wanted to defend Xingchen again, so he didn't care about Gu Yang's anger, and continued: "Two old men, Xu Xingchen will definitely not do such a despicable thing, I believe ......"
"Alright, sit down!" Gu Yang couldn't take it anymore, so he shouted at him.
He is the first in the hall, when educating his disciples, how can it be the turn of these yellow-haired juniors to interfere?
"Two masters, the disciple thinks......" Lin Wen still stood there with his head held high, and he wanted to say something more with a righteous expression.
"Sit down, there's no place for you to talk here!" Gu Yang yelled, Lin Wen knew that he had no chance to intervene, so he could only sit down with anger and unwillingness.
These two old men really look down on people!
Lin Wen no longer cared about the prestige of the two old men, and his good impression of them suddenly turned into dissatisfaction, and he secretly cursed in his heart.
Everyone held their breath and no longer dared to speak for Xu Xingchen, they could only watch how the two old men would deal with this innocent person, and they were somewhat unhappy in their hearts.
"Xu Xingchen, you go down the mountain, this Void Cloud Gate will never tolerate you!" said the Void Cloud Sect, but he still acted calmly.
"Uncle Masterโ"
Xu Xingchen suddenly burst into tears.
Back then, after the entire village of Lingwolf Village was slaughtered, seven-year-old Xu Xingchen had no place to go, so he had to wander around begging, and almost starved to death on the streets. Later, thanks to the rescue of the Void Cloud Immortal, Xu Xingchen finally picked up a life and worshiped in the Void Cloud Gate Qingying Peak.
Xu Xingchen has been living and cultivating here for nearly seven years, and he has long regarded Xuyunmen as his inseparable home. But now that the head of Xuyun wants to drive himself down the mountain, he is naturally extremely sad.
What's more, with Xu Xingchen's mediocre Taoist skills, if he really went down the mountain, he would definitely be able to follow those three sects and nine streams to rob houses and do some things like stealing chickens and dogs; no matter how bad it is, he can only beg along the streets like before.
No matter what, as long as you go down the mountain, let alone live a stable life, even your life may not be saved.
"I am a person in the Xuyun Sect, how Taoism is only secondary, and the level of character is the most important. Your character is really bad, not only is it clever and arrogant, but you don't even dare to admit that you have made mistakes, how can you be qualified to continue to stay in my Void Cloud Gate?!"
Patriarch Guyang didn't have such a good temper as the Void Cloud Immortal, he glared at the tiger and reprimanded angrily.
There was a sudden silence in Cheng Mo Zhai. Although the disciples below knew that Xu Xingchen had been wronged by the two old men, they didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of suffering from the disaster of the pond fish.
"Senior Brother Gu Yang, you can't say that!" At this moment, a blue figure suddenly flashed at the door.
"Master!" all the disciples immediately stood up and said.
Qing Yuan nodded, did not answer, his eyes fell on the head of Xuyun, and said, "Senior brother in charge, Xu Xingchen is my disciple after all. From what I know about him, although he has a weak personality and does not like words, he has always adhered to the rules, has a good character, and is a good person. Although he has been stagnant in cultivating occult arts, his brain is still flexible when it comes to the aspect where he does not need to use force, so his results in knowledge have always been very good. Therefore, the junior brother believes that he will not do such a thing."
But seeing that Qing Yuan locked his eyebrows, his face was full of anger and displeasure, and he was full of dissatisfaction with Gu Yang's words just now.
The disciples all looked at this master who was usually not good at words, and Xu Xingchen didn't expect that the master, who treated him extremely coldly in Su Rili, would have such a high evaluation of him, and his heart was a little warm for a while.
In the Qingying Peak, the Yellow Butterfly Fairy teaches literature, and the Qingyuan Immortal teaches martial arts. Although Xu Xingchen has not made much progress in martial arts and Taoism, which has always made Qing Yuan angry, he is extremely talented in literature, and he is also one of the best in the entire Qingying Peak. Qingyuan Shangxian Gui is the first seat of Qingming Peak, and if you want to understand the situation of each disciple, you will naturally know that Xu Xingchen's literary knowledge is good.
Qing Yuan turned his head to look at Xu Xingchen, his eyes were still calm as water, but his heart was already full of turmoil.
"But my Xuyun Dao is fluent in law and martial arts, if this Xu Xingchen's literary qualifications are really good, his martial arts attainments will definitely not be bad. But how could he have been in the beginners for so long, and the exercises had only reached such a low level?"
Xuyun questioned.
"Why, the senior brother in charge doesn't believe in me?"
"Senior brother, how can I not believe you. It's just that people like him are stupid in talent, not to mention any good achievements, even if they think about a problem, they are very dull. The answer he just said was so subtle, how can you make me believe that he didn't take advantage of it?"
Xuyun didn't care about Xu Xingchen's inner feelings, and said bluntly.
Although Xu Xingchen had long been accustomed to such derogatory words, he was naturally extremely sad in his heart when he was wronged.
The boy lowered his head, and his eyes turned red in an instant.
"Oh, Senior Brother doesn't believe in all people with mediocre talents?" Qing Yuan sneered, and became even more angry in his heart, and said, "Senior Brother, when I first learned the Dao, wasn't I also mediocre in qualifications and extremely low in understanding?
When the two old men heard this truth, they were speechless for a while.
"I believe in Xu Xingchen, and I also hope that the two senior brothers can believe in him. Senior brother, you also said that Xuyun Dao is both French and military, and his literary resources are extraordinary, which is obvious to all. As for martial arts attainments, I believe that he was originally talented, but he just didn't find the right way to practice. If you get the way, you will definitely not lose color than people like Lin Wen. I also hope that the senior brother in charge can give him a chance and don't let him go down the mountain!"
Qingyuan Shangxian saw that the words just now had had an effect, so he continued.
These words are what Qing Yuan thinks in his heart.
Xu Xingchen listened to his master's words, and an unprecedented feeling came to his heart.
The two old men fell into deep thought, and for a while, the whole Chengmo Zhai was quiet. All the disciples silently prayed for Xu Xingchen, hoping that he could prove his innocence and not be expelled from the mountain.
"Okay, since the junior brother has said so, I can not let him go down the mountain, senior brother. It took a long time for the void cloud to speak.
"But I have one condition, if he can't finish it, he still has to go down the mountain!"
"Senior brother, please speak. Qing Yuan frowned, there was a hint of worry in his tone, and nodded.
Although the head of Xuyun is a plain and tolerant person on the surface, deep down he is a person who is extremely suspicious, but also has a good face, never gives up until he achieves his goal, and has some grudges. As long as someone provokes him and hinders him, he will never let that person go easily, and he will definitely try his best to make things difficult for him.
Qing Yuan knows this character very well.
"He can continue to practice under your Qingying Peak, but if after five years, his cultivation is not as good as you said, and he can't surpass Lin Wen, he will definitely have to go down the mountain!"
If you can't surpass Lin Wen, you have to go down the mountain!
When Xu Xingchen heard this, he was shocked, secretly screamed that it was over, and looked at Lin Wen helplessly and desperately.
And Lin Wen was also shocked in his heart, and he was even more dissatisfied with the future master of Xuyun.
"Okay!
Qing Yuan glanced at Xu Xingchen, and finally nodded, his eyes flashing with endless determination.
Outside the window, a strong wind suddenly blew up.
