Chapter 7: The Thin Man
(Ling Qingyan followed Liu Yanran's side, nodding as Liu Yanran's hand pointed to the surrounding buildings.)
The Heavenly Sword Sect is worthy of being one of the top sects in the south of the Chongwu Continent, and the resident building is like a stout Honglong winding around the mountain road of the Heavenly Dangerous Peak, which is very vast. The building in this inner gate is not much smaller than the outer door. Under the leadership of Liu Yanran, Ling Qingyan looked at the surrounding buildings with different images, and even felt a little overwhelmed.
"Brother Qingyan, in front of you is the building complex where our inner disciples live......
Under Liu Yanran's leadership, a series of courtyard-like buildings sit side by side not far ahead. In front of these buildings, however, there are numerous lawn fields, which are extremely vast. Looking at the various backward and shoddy equipment around these lawn fields, this is obviously where the inner disciples practice their moves.
The reason why it is said to be backward and shoddy equipment is entirely because the exercise equipment that Ling Qingyan saw in his previous life was a high-tech product of the new century, especially in the gym, there are many types of advanced exercise equipment. At this time, seeing these crude wood equipment, the contrast to Ling Qingyan's vision was a little big for a while.
Liu Yanran took Ling Qingyan forward, and along the way, there were also several male and female disciples who called Liu Yanran "Senior Uncle" and passed by them.
"Your seniority is quite high, and almost all of you have been called 'Uncle Shi' along the way," ~δΈ~ζ¬~Read~ The novel ybdu Ling Qingyan directly discovered this problem, and there was a little doubt in his teasing words. It stands to reason that among the inner disciples, the elders of the sect master's generation should not be few, but why are so many young men and women lower than Liu Yanran.
Liu Yanran also knew Ling Qingyan's doubts, and explained with a smile, "Brother Qingyan, you must know that the elders of my master's generation have almost rarely accepted apprentices for decades, unless they are extremely talented. And those brothers and sisters of my generation are almost all middle-aged now, and some of them are even in their sixties......"
"More than sixty?!"
Ling Qingyan was stunned, and then thought about it in his heart. After all, looking at the age of the sect master and the sword-wielding elder, except for the faces that were not much different from the middle-aged people, they were already old men. Now disciples of Liu Yanran's age are generally one generation lower than her, or even two generations lower. After all, she was a closed disciple of the Sword Sect Master today.
"And among those senior brothers and sisters, a large part of them are almost no longer in the sect, or serving in the Great Qin ** team, or wandering around the Chongwu Continent," Liu Yanran said this, Ling Qingyan could obviously see a trace of envy in her eyes.
Ling Qingyan nodded, which was considered understanding.
Following Liu Yanran, she came to the series of courtyard buildings she saw earlier, but Liu Yanran did not stop, turned directly into a road outside the building, and continued to walk in.
"Outside of this is the residence of the current three generations of disciples. And our second-generation disciples are in the inner layer," Liu Yanran explained, as if sensing Ling Qingyan's doubts at this time.
Ling Qingyan realized this, he was still puzzled before, thinking that these residences were not divided into generations...... It turned out that behind this series of buildings, there was another residence. The three generations of disciples in Liu Yanran's mouth, Ling Qingyan also knew that it should be counted from the Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect as the first generation, after all, the Heavenly Sword Sect has been inherited for thousands of years, and it really does not become chaotic after counting it from generation to generation?
After walking for nearly 100 meters, Ling Qingyan finally saw a series of courtyard buildings that were no different from before. At this moment, there was a crackling sound of fighting in the distance, mixed with a heroic roar.
"Senior Brother Meng is looking for someone to learn again!"
Liu Yanran obviously also heard the voice from afar, couldn't help laughing, and then walked forward directly. Ling Qingyan in the back was stunned for a moment, and then followed closely.
Under the leadership of Liu Yanran, after a while, the two of them had already come to the place where the previous voice came from. I saw that between the lawn and the field, there were two figures constantly staggered and fighting, and the speed was extremely fast, and sometimes even pulled out several afterimages...... To Ling Qingyan's surprise, the two constantly intersecting figures in this scene were all blue true power.
Two blue-level mid-level martial artists.
"Happy!"
With this loud sound, one of the figures in the field retreated sharply, pulling a shallow trace on the verdant lawn. As he retreated, the man's figure slowly revealed, but it was an ordinary-looking, stout middle-aged man, and the beard on the man's face almost covered his entire face.
On the other side, after the man retreated, he also stopped his hand, and his figure gradually appeared. Ling Qingyan couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at the back of this thin man who was slightly thin, as if he could fall with the wind. If it weren't for what he had seen with his own eyes before, Ling Qingyan really couldn't believe that such a thin person could fight to a draw with that sturdy man in such a fierce hand-to-hand battle.
"Dead monkey, yes, you can carry it with me. β
The middle-aged man looked at the thin man in the distance and couldn't help laughing. Obviously, in the previous battle, he fought very vividly.
"Brute!"
The thin man seemed to have few words, and after indifferently leaving two words, he turned around directly. Only then did Ling Qingyan see the appearance of this thin man clearly, as if his skinny figure was shrouded in a cyan robe, looking so empty. What surprised Ling Qingyan the most was the pair of eyes of this thin man, which were extremely fierce, like a dormant beast, fierce and lonely, as if the things around him could not affect him.
"Senior brother. β
Looking at the thin man who walked over, Liu Yanran exclaimed with some restraint. Ling Qingyan could clearly feel Liu Yanran's solemnity at this time, completely lacking her previous casual and lively temperament, and she was obviously afraid of this "Senior Brother Hou".
Hearing this, the thin man's gaze stayed on Liu Yanran for a moment, nodded lightly, and then fixed on Ling Qingyan beside Liu Yanran. Ling Qingyan felt the thin man's gaze bursting towards him, and couldn't help but directly meet him and look at him......
Apathy, loneliness, **.
This was the information that Ling Qingyan read from the thin man's eyes, and he couldn't imagine what this thin man had experienced. This kind of look is extremely rare even among the players in the underground black fist of the previous life.
If it was a young man of Ling Qingyan's age, he might have already changed his face when he first met the thin man's gaze, and he quickly looked away. After all, Ling Qingyan has been a human being in two lives, and although this kind of look was rare in the previous life, he had not seen it before, and he was not afraid of it.
Looking at the unknown young man's still indifferent expression under his gaze, the stiffness on the thin man's face moved slightly, and he slowly spit out three words in his mouth, "You, not bad." β
Words are like gold!
After speaking, he didn't care about anything, and the thin man walked directly to the side, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him. Ling Qingyan's gaze was still on the thin man's body at this time, and from the back of the thin man Xiao Suo, Ling Qingyan could clearly feel that this was a person with a story.
