Chapter 47: Gui Qianyue's thoughts
Yunchen returned to Xuyue Peak in the evening, and before he tasted the gloom of late autumn, the wind and snow in the sky decorated the entire Xuyue Peak into a piece of white. I heard that they returned to the mountain today, and hundreds of registered disciples on the mountain braved the wind and snow, crowded at the intersection of the peak to greet each other, their faces flushed with enthusiasm and envy, and they pulled a few senior brothers who killed the Yuan Beast to ask non-stop.
Saying goodbye to these junior brothers, Yunchen hurriedly went back to the house to put down the package and freshen up, not knowing that the senior sister had secretly visited them, and went to the Flying Ascension Hall with a few senior brothers to say goodbye to the master and the master.
The Ascension Hall is as neat and quiet as ever, with a faint bookish atmosphere, creating a light and elegant style. Xing Qianzhong had already heard his wife say how they killed Bingxiong and Bai Ze, and even knew Yunchen's supernatural powers, which impressed Gui Qianyue, who had rarely lifted people in his life. However, looking at Yunchen, who was standing at the bottom with a deferential appearance, he didn't mention his cultivation at all, and he couldn't help but be a little annoyed in his heart, and said that everyone else knows that you are great now, but you are still hiding it from me, who is a master.
Yunchen didn't want to hide from his master, but he himself was not a person who liked to ask his elders for merit if he had some achievements, he thought in his heart that it was no different from boasting, he was better at making it for others to see, and proving himself through the sword in his hand, for example, Yun Jing's master Gui Qianyue.
Moreover, his swordsmanship, light skills, and even mental methods, the way of cultivation is completely different from that taught by Xing Qianzhong, and he is afraid that this will dislike his master and mother.
When Xing Qianzhong heard that Yunjin and the others had gathered enough Yuan Jing to forge four low-level Xuan soldiers, he immediately laughed heartily, "Okay, haha, I didn't expect you to have such a big harvest here, I will personally go to the Waterfall Peak for you, and let your Wu Shibo open the furnace to build Xuan soldiers for you." β
The five peaks of Cloud City, Wu Qianquan, the first seat of Flying Waterfall Peak, is good at building Xuan soldiers, and the first seat of Six Finger Peak, Cong Qianfang, is good at refining medicine. Yun Jin and Yun Chang were naturally overjoyed when they heard this, and Rainbow Dash said worriedly, "But master, we haven't gotten the cold iron to build the Xuan Soldiers. β
"What kind of cold iron, do you think it is to build a high-grade Xuanbing, a piece of Yuanjing can be exchanged for dozens of catties of hundred-grain steel, and although you Wu Shibo is old-fashioned, he is not a stingy person, and he has a lot of Baiwen steel. Xing Qianzhong patted his chest and reassured.
Xing Qianzhong only didn't ask Yun Chen, who killed Bai Ze with Yun Rong and them, but gathered Yuan Jing, who forged the middle-level Xuan soldier Bai Ze's sword, he decided to cool Yun Chen first, and see if he said it or not. Ouyang Jinfeng was amused by her husband's cautious eyes, and was just about to ask Yunchen, but Xing Qianzhong immediately got ahead of her and got down to business.
"This year's pre-snow competition was postponed for a few days, firstly, because I had to wait for you to come back, and secondly, last month, the sixtieth birthday of the head of the Nanli Sect, I went to congratulate the head of the eight major sects in the four countries in the northwest in person, and your Shangguan Master naturally also participated, at the birthday banquet, the eight masters unanimously decided to reopen the sect rookie conference that had been interrupted for twenty years, and the location was in the mountain gate of Xihua Taizong, and they promised that they would take out a low-level sword weapon at the ground level as a reward. β
"Ground-level sword weapon!" Rainbow Treasure Yun Yuan exclaimed together, just now they were still trying to get a Xuan-level low-level sword weapon Yuan Jing, and they were complacent, they never expected that the color of this rookie conference would be so heavy, although it was also low-level, but they were ground-level, and they were two grades higher than the low-level Xuanbing, worthy of Taizong, and they were beyond their reach as soon as they made a move.
Xing Qianzhong waved his hand to signal them to be calm, and continued: "In the end, it has been decided that nine disciples from each sect will be selected by each sect to confirm each other on Xihua Mountain in the early summer of next year, so as to promote the exchange of young disciples of each sect in sword skills. β
Hearing this, Yun Chen scolded in his heart: "The exchange of fart, isn't it just to expand the Yuncheng Sword Sect's annual snow competition to the eight sects of the four northwest countries, and if the results are good, that sect will have a unique face." It's just that we are Taizong and we are Xuanzong, and the result is self-evident, we are accompanying the prince to study, and we are going through the motions to put gold on people's faces. β
Xing Qianzhong saw Yun Chen's reluctant expression, and he had already roughly guessed what he was thinking, and even Yun Jin Yunchang looked excited when he thought of competing with the people of Taizong after the excitement at the beginning. Xing Qianzhong smiled slightly and said, "Divine Sect, Extreme Sect, Taizong and Xuanzong, although the strength of the sect is different, but the most essential difference is the difference in the cultivation realm, for example, our Xuanzong sect, after the cultivation reaches the sword honor, because of the lack of martial arts and sword skills, it is difficult to go further, but the starting point between the disciples is the same, they all start from the sword disciples, so you don't need to be too arrogant, more than 20 years ago, you Gui Qianyue Shibo, in the rookie conference, made a splash, as a disciple of Xuanzong, all the way through the thorns, and finally won the championship, is a good exampleγ β
Seeing Ouyang Jinfeng, the disciples also nodded with a smile, only then did they believe that he, a disciple of Xuanzong, had a chance to defeat the people of Taizong, and they didn't expect that Gui Qianyue, the first seat of Wangyue Peak, would have such a glorious past.
"But before that, you have to do your best to qualify in this pre-snow competition, so that you can have the opportunity to go to Xihua Mountain to participate in the rookie conference. Xing Qianzhong said and deliberately glanced at Yunchen, and continued: "I have a total of thirty-five closed disciples in the five peaks of Yuncheng, after the discussion of the first seat of our peaks, it was decided to divide into seven groups to compete with each other, the first place in each group will be directly qualified, and the remaining two places, the second place in each group will be decided in the form of a challenge, the time is set in three days, I hope that this time, at least one of our Xuyue Peak can qualify, and finally participate in the rookie competition in Xihua Mountain next year." β
Xing Qianzhong said that he blushed, nine qualifying places, he only expected one to be satisfied, not that he Xingqianzhong did not have ambitions, but, what is the strength of his disciples, he knows better than anyone else, if it is not for Yunchen being born out of thin air, leaving him a little hope, he would not dare to think about this one.
Xing Qianzhong was still staring at Yunchen, even Yunjin and Ouyang Jinfeng, after hearing Xing Qianzhong say that they would go all out to fight for a qualifying place, they also looked at Yunchen in unison, and they all understood that which qualifying place in Xing Qianzhong's mouth would depend on who would fight for it.
Yunchen, who had been lowering his head and cultivating the mental method, did not raise his head to meet the expectant gaze of the master and his mother until he left, and nodded his head imperceptibly. He knew that the master had only been in the position of the first seat of Xu Yue Peak since he had climbed to the top of the Xu Yue Peak, because his disciples were mediocre, and he was at the bottom of every pre-snow competition, how much pressure he had endured, slander, abuse, and disdain, all of which had been carried by the master and his wife, and he had never blamed their group of disciples for this.
The first snow finally stopped at nightfall, and the chill in the heart did not dissipate for a long time, as if the haze that had been suppressed for a long time on the heads of the disciples of Xu Yuefeng was ridiculed and spurned, and then he endured it himself.
Yunchen stood beside the red stone pingshi, flicked the sword in his hand, and whispered to the sword with that low trembling sound: "Three days later, are you ready?"
....
On Mochiyue Peak, the eleven closed disciples, as soon as they returned to the mountain, they were called by Gui Qianyue to the Luofeng Palace, and told them about the situation of next year's Xihua Mountain Rookie Competition, unlike Xing Qianzhong, who was only sent to Yunchen alone, Gui Qianyue really had too many cards in her hand, if she was asked to arrange the qualifying competition in three days, she was confident that her disciples would win more than half of the qualifying places, but she also knew in her heart that it was impossible.
"I hope that any of you can recreate the demeanor of the past when I was a teacher, and show the feminine spirit of my Mochizuki Peak. After Gui Qianyue finished speaking, she left Yun Rong alone, dismissed the other disciples to rest early, and prepared for the qualifying match in three days.
"I've been to see you, and before that, I had seen Yun Chen's sword, so I asked Yun Jing to learn his sword. β
Yun Rong never expected that the master would not be relieved that they would kill Bai Ze after all, and he went to see it in person, and he was secretly moved in his heart, and said: "Senior Brother Yunchen's sword is very strong. β
"Oh!" Gui Qianyue became interested, "Tell me, such a strong law?"
Yun Rong thought for a while, "I can't say it well, but his sword skills always give me a feeling, as if, we all practiced wrong, and only what he practiced was the real Cloud City sword skills." β
Gui Qianyue walked to the window, looked at the snow under the moon outside and said: "A hundred years ago, my Yuncheng Sect was an extreme sect, and there were many talents under the sect, even the Divine Sect did not dare to underestimate it, it can be said that it was prosperous and must decline, and then it was a series of great difficulties, and the sword skills and mental methods were lost one after another, and now it has fallen to the point of Xuanzong, but it is ridiculous that other men on the peak are complacent and do not want to forge ahead and innovate, and they don't understand at all, in the monk world." If you don't advance, you will retreat', it is far more cruel than the world, and if it continues like this, it is not impossible for the Jianghu sect that has fallen into the worldly world to even be taken by other sects. β
Yun Rong lowered his head and listened, not daring to speak.
"You go down privately and tell all the junior sisters under your door, from now on, you will focus on cultivating the 'floating' of light skills and flying snow, since you know that you are wrong, you have to change it all over again, as for the sword skills that cooperate with the flying snow's 'floating', you wait for Yun Jing to learn from Yunchen, and then learn from her, you will let her do more in the future." Gui Qianyue said tactfully.
Yun Rong understood that the master's so-called enterprising innovation turned out to be stealing. However, after seeing Yun Chen's amazing sword skills, it was false to say that they didn't want to learn it, but because of the face of the teacher, they didn't dare to learn it openly, and now the master secretly advocated that they learn, Yun Rong naturally had nothing to say, she believed that the other junior sisters were the same. As for letting Yun Jing... Yun Rong almost laughed, if it weren't for them, Yun Jing, the evil spirit, could still run rampant and domineering on the mountain for so long.
Yun Rong nodded in response, and was just about to inform Yun Xiu and Yun Xue about them, but was stopped by Gui Qianyue again.
"My disciple has returned your needlework, you used the best Bai Zepi to make a leather armor for him overnight, and in addition, half of the Bai Ze bones and Bai Zepi harvested this time were sent to Xu Yuefeng. β
Yun Rong was overjoyed when she heard this, she originally felt that it was really unreasonable not to give Yun Chen a copy of these materials, but now that the master had spoken, she naturally had no objection. In fact, Yun Rong also knew in his heart that the arrogant master never liked to owe favors to others, and let his disciples steal Yunchen's swordsmanship, Gui Qianyue had already given up a lot of face.
But when Yun Jing went back to the room to rest, she pushed open the door and found that there was a big vat next to the bed at some point, and she frowned when she saw it, when did her room become a miscellaneous room? Just when Yun Jing ran to kick the vat and was about to kick it, she suddenly smelled a familiar fragrance, which was the smell of honey.
She stretched out her hand and dipped a finger in it, put it to her mouth and licked it, and found that this vat full of honey was indeed it, and immediately excitedly shouted "Long live the master!" But soon, her distress came again, because there were no bear's paws.
This is Gui Qianyue's 'punishment' for Di Yunjing unintentionally stabbing the hornet's nest against her, and giving her after returning to the mountain, in fact, Gui Qianyue is also well-intentioned, she is deeply afraid that Di Yunjing will poke the hornet's nest everywhere to dig out honey after returning to the mountain, making the whole sect unpeaceful, and she can't be stopped anyway, so she simply asked someone to buy a vat of honey and prepare to kill her.
It's better to be blocked than to be sparse! That's the truth.
