Chapter 14 Getting Started
Passing through the boulders of the doorway, there is a wide square, and the floor of the square is paved with stones of various sizes.
The two teenagers looked into the distance, this hilltop building is not very grand, with stone as the wall, wood as the beam, tile as the roof, the moss on the stone wall shows the traces of time, but it looks very simple.
After walking about 100 steps, he walked to the front of the main hall, and looked up, there was a plaque hanging on it, which read: Zhenwu Hall.
At this moment, an old man walked out of the Zhenwu Hall, dressed in white and plain robes, about fifty years old.
Seeing the person coming, Xu Fan and the others thought that they were seniors in the door, and hurriedly bowed and said: "Disciple Xu Fan (Li Haotian), meet the seniors." ”
The old man glanced up and down at the two of them, waved his hand and said, "The little baby is old, I'm just an old slave sweeping the floor of the sect, you two are here to join the Floating Cloud Sword Sect, right?" ”
Li Haotian smiled slightly, leaned forward slightly, nodded and said, "I can't hide the wisdom of my predecessors, my brother and I are here to join the sect." ”
The old man walked out of it, and the brothers saw that the old man was really holding a broom in his other hand, which showed that it was okay for him to say that he was sweeping the floor.
It's just that when you first enter the treasure land, you need to keep an eye on everything, and you may not be able to say if this sweeping floor has a big future.
Seeing that the necks of the two teenagers stretched out and the elder looked in, the old man who swept the floor smiled and said, "Don't look at it, there is no one else in the hall at this time, and all the disciples in the door are practicing swords in the back mountain at this time." ”
"Oh-"
Xu Fan and Li Haotian responded at the same time, and their tones were slightly lost.
Seeing this scene, the old man didn't say much. The young man's heart is always eager to cross the rivers and lakes. If you can learn a trick and a half as soon as possible, it is even more difficult to ask for it from the bottom of your heart.
For many years, everyone who enters this place, whether young or young.
He smiled and said to them, "You two wait here for a while, and I'll go to the back mountain to ask the sect master to move here." ”
Xu Fan and Li Haotian stood in the Zhenwu Hall, looking at the furnishings inside: a chair at the top, and on the chair was a traditional Chinese character for "qi". On both sides of the main hall, there are ten chairs on each side.
Other than that, there is nothing else. The chairs are very clean and free of the slightest dust. Even the bluestone on the ground is as smooth as jade.
It seems that the old sweeper is very attentive.
Li Haotian sat down with a big grin and put the burden on the chair next to him casually. Then he beckoned to Xu Fan and said, "Xiao Fan, you also sit down and rest." After two days of climbing the ladder, my whole body was sore. ”
As he spoke, he lifted his left leg and knocked it with his hand, and then lifted his right leg and beat it with his hand for a while.
Xu Fan thought for a while, but was still a little cautious, and said: "Haotian, this person hasn't come, let's sit down, okay?" ”
Li Haotian glanced at him, and said angrily: "This chair is sitting on people, and it is precisely because people are not here that they have to take a break." I've heard that getting started with a teacher is a very complicated process, and if the Lord comes after a while, I don't know how long it will take. ”
Xu Fan thought about it, and this is also the truth.
So he sat down and followed Li Haotian and patted his calves, which were already sore, almost unconscious.
The two of them sat for about a stick of incense, and vaguely heard the sound of talking from the depths of the hall, Li Haotian's eyes signaled, Xu Fan immediately took up the burden and stood side by side with him in the center of the hall.
A moment later, three people entered through the inner door of the hall.
The first person looked middle-aged, with square eyebrows and eyes, a long beard, a dark green robe was very decent, and his eyebrows were like swords, and he was not angry and arrogant. Thinking about it, this person is the current sect leader of the Floating Cloud Sword Sect, Su He, there is no doubt.
Behind him were two young men who were also dressed in turquoise clothes, different from the middle-aged, the clothes of the two men were embroidered with the word "floating clouds" on their chests, they held a long sword in their hands, and looked at Xu Fan and Li Haotian curiously.
The middle-aged man walked to the center, flicked his robe, and sat upright on the main seat.
The two young men were no longer qualified to sit down, and stood beside him, one on the left and one on the right.
Su He glanced at the two teenagers standing in the center of the main hall, one on the left side had vague steps, his face was pale, his breathing was fast and slow, and he shook his head silently in his heart.
When he shifted his gaze to the young man on the right, a burst of light suddenly erupted in his eyes, and he saw that he was half a head taller than the young man next to him, with clear eyebrows, eyes like torches, ruddy complexion, and even breathing.
This is a good seedling that is rare in a century!
If it takes time, it will shine.
Thanks to the ancestors of the Floating Cloud Sword Sect, he finally sent a seed, and the man thought silently in his heart.
However, his face was impassive, and he said: "The fact that the two of you can climb the ladder shows that your perseverance is commendable, I am the eleventh generation sect master of the Floating Cloud Sword Sect, Su He." ”
"Disciple Li Haotian, meet the sect master!"
"Disciple Xu Fan, meet the sect master!"
As soon as Su He's words fell, Xu Fan and Li Haotian immediately bowed down.
"Get up." Su He nodded slightly.
"You two are here to join my Floating Cloud Sword Sect?"
Li Haotian took a step forward, bowed slightly, spoke earnestly, and said, "Sect Master, my brother Xu Fan has a broken pulse from his heart, and there is no medicine stone. A few days ago, I heard a miracle doctor who happened to meet said that strengthening the body can delay the disease, so the two of us came to apprentice, hoping that the sect master would be merciful and accept the two of us under the door. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a gust of wind in his ears, and looked up, where was Su He's figure in the seat above.
Hearing a muffled snort next to him, he realized that in the blink of an eye, Su He was already standing beside him, taking Xu Fan's pulse.
Looking at the distance of more than ten steps, Su He passed in the blink of an eye, and a trace of fire flashed in Li Haotian's eyes, and he said in his heart: This is the legendary martial arts, it's amazing!
After Su He took the pulse for Xu Fan for a while, his brows furrowed slightly, disappeared in an instant, and the next moment he appeared on the central seat of the main hall again.
He spoke: "You are right, he is indeed terminally ill, and even I can't do anything about it. However, I very much agree with the opinion of the miracle doctor you said, practicing martial arts can strengthen the body from oneself, and can protect the family and defend the country. This kind of terminal illness is the only one I have seen in my life, and if you want to cure perhaps the most famous ghost doctor in the rivers and lakes, there will be a way. ”
Looking at the brilliance in the eyes of the two teenagers, Su He shook his head and sighed: "The ghost doctor's whereabouts are unpredictable, if there is a fate, maybe he will take the initiative to heal you, if not, even if he is indifferent in front of you." It is difficult to distinguish between good and evil in this person's actions, but my Floating Cloud Sword Sect has never dealt with him. ”
Although Su He said it was equivalent to not saying it, whether it was Xu Fan or Li Haotian, they all kept the word ghost doctor in their hearts.
"Fei Yue, you take the two of them to the backyard first and arrange a courtyard for them. After receiving the mountain gate worship post, after ascertaining their identity, they will be given the clothes of the sect, and they will perform the entrance ceremony after bathing tomorrow. ”
Su He commanded a cold young man next to him.
"Yes, Master." Fei Yue bowed slightly in response.
Su He stood up, pointed at Fei Yue, and said to Xu Fan and Li Haotian: "His name is Fei Yue, he is the first to get started, and he is your senior brother, you follow him, if you don't understand anything, just ask him." ”
With that, he walked to the back, and the other young man disappeared with him at the end of the corridor.
Seeing Su He leave, Fei Yue's cold face showed a smile, and he said to Li Haotian and Xu Fan: "You two come with me, and I will lead you to the backyard to arrange accommodation." ”
"Yes, big brother."
Although Fei Yue was smiling, his eyes inadvertently glanced at Li Haotian a few more times.
As a person who practices martial arts, you can see the root bone qualification at a glance.
After passing through the inner door of the main hall and walking through a long corridor, there is a row of repaired courtyards, which are as many as hundreds.
Fei Yue explained as he walked: "Although my Floating Cloud Sword Sect is not a famous sect, it is also a force that should not be underestimated. After the establishment of the new dynasty, there was a lot of suppression of my martial arts sect, and now my Floating Cloud Sword Sect has lost its former glory, and these courtyards are empty. I heard from the master that when our sect was at its strongest, there were more than 500 disciples in the sect, and now there are only about 40 people left. ”
Xu Fan quickly digested the meaning of his words, that is, when it came to today, there was no one in the Floating Cloud Sword Sect.
Fei Yue led them to the last few courtyards, pushed open the door and a puff of dust drifted out, choking them to cough a few times, and quickly covered their mouths and noses with their hands.
"You two will stay here for the time being, and when the entrance ceremony is completed tomorrow, you or you will go to the courtyard next to it."
Fei Yue pointed at Li Haotian and Xu Fan and said, "Because there are fewer people in the sect now, the master has instructed all the disciples in the sect to live independently, and you will discuss it after you are done." By the way, there is a small stream half a mile behind this courtyard, and you can pick up your usual water from there. ”
Li Haotian asked: "Senior brother, Xiaofan is unwell, can I live with him, so that I can also take care of him?" ”
Fei Yue smiled and replied, "Since you have come here, you must be independent." This is the rule of the master, and it is also for your own good. ”
At this point, Li Haotian didn't say much.
Xu Fan took the opportunity to pull his sleeve, and Li Haotian turned his head to understand what he meant.
If it comes, it will be safe.
After Fei Yue left, the two quickly picked up the flat pole and bucket on the side and ran to the creek to pick up a few buckets of water and came back.
After more than an hour, the two small courtyards were finally cleaned up.
In the afternoon, Fei Yue came over again, and after seeing their results, he nodded faintly, at least these two people were much more diligent than the previous ones.
Then he threw them two pamphlets and admonished: "This is the Floating Cloud Sword Sect's rules, you must memorize them today, and memorize them like a stream." ”
The two took the booklet and looked through it, and it was very thin, about a dozen pages. There are ten main streets in it, and there are hundreds of small rings.
Xu Fan and Li Haotian secretly said to themselves, not to mention the grandeur of this sect, there are quite a lot of rules. However, both of them are very intelligent, and one night is enough time for them to get to know each other.
Li Haotian took out the broken silver from his purse in advance, there were twenty taels, and two identity recommendations, handed them to Fei Yue, and said: "Senior brother, this is the greeting and identity recommendation of our brothers, please check it on your behalf." ”
Fei Yue took it, took it in his hand and weighed it, and the score was exactly right. Then he opened the two identity recommendation letters stamped with the big seal of Yaoshan Town, nodded after reading them, and said casually: "Don't worry, I will naturally hand it over to the master." ”
After finishing speaking, Fei Yue gave them two more sets of clothes, told them to put them on and enter the main hall tomorrow morning, and left this place with a long sword in hand.
