Chapter 3, Lian Wu Pavilion

Continuing to sit silently on the futon for a while, Ye Bai finally returned to normal, the pallor on his face subsided a lot, he stood up, moved his muscles and bones, leaned over and put away the two half-phantom heart grasses on the ground and repacked them into a cloth bag, and hid them closely, then he opened the door and walked out, it was already bright outside, Ye Bai closed the door and walked towards the outer courtyard of the Ye family again.

Today, he was going to a place, he was going to go yesterday, but because he had been delayed by Ye Lao for too long, it was evening when he came out, so he didn't go, and today, after a night's rest, Ye Bai was full of spirits, full of energy, and was full of energy, just suitable for cultivation, but he just went to that place.

What Ye Bai is going to is the family martial arts pavilion.

......

Lian Wu Pavilion, is a majestic building, the face is wide and three into the huge wooden building, the morning sun, sprinkled a piece of brilliance, bright yellow glazed tiles, shining in the sun.

In the Ye family, in fact, Ye Bai is not the only one who can't afford to buy the mystical skills, but there are many people, or their parents died early, or the family fell into the middle of the road, or the negligence and misfortune, and was punished by the family, if the talents of these people are not so outstanding, they will often be reduced to the same as Ye Bai, and they need to earn contribution points to exchange for family exercises, and such people, naturally few people will have the money to buy those precious and extremely precious mystical skills, so that a place like the Ye family's martial arts pavilion came into being, this kind of place is specially set up for those who have no money and can't afford to buy basic mystical skills, but want to learn some basic attack skills。

Ye Bai spent most of his rest time in this martial arts pavilion.

In the martial arts pavilion, you don't want to learn any set of even the lowest level of mystical skills, some are just some very ordinary, very basic weapon attack skills, like the Ye family's martial arts pavilion, there are three sets of basic swordsmanship, three sets of basic knife skills, three sets of basic stick skills, three sets of basic marksmanship, three sets of basic dagger methods, three sets of basic bow skills, a total of eighteen sets of basic weapon attack skills.

These techniques are free and open for all Ye Family Outer Sect disciples, and they can be entered and studied at will without any charge. However, no matter which skill, there is no doubt that there is one thing in common, that is, they are all extremely simple, except for some basic weapons of chopping, slashing, stabbing, cutting, picking, slashing, and shocking...... Wait for the action, and there is nothing else, not even a simple weapon move!

Such a thing naturally can't be called a mystical technique, and even the martial arts cultivated by ordinary mortals are not counted, so naturally no one will be interested in naming them, so these eighteen sets of basic techniques, no matter which set of them, only have the same name, basic sword skills, basic knife skills, basic stick skills, basic gun skills, basic dagger skills, and basic bow skills......

These skills naturally cannot be compared with the Xuan Technique, its power is one in the sky and one underground, but that is only compared to those senior disciples whose families are rich and already have low-level Xuan Skills, for poor disciples like Ye Bai, these family practice martial arts Pavilion free and open basic skills are still extremely precious, and it is better than nothing, in this way, when you enter the deep mountains and encounter fierce beasts, you can also have a little more self-protection power.

The disciples of the Ye family's outer sects, if they want to learn, they should choose one of them to study according to their preferences for various weapons.

What Ye Bai chose at the beginning was the basic sword skills, and a year and a half ago, he learned all these three sets of basic sword skills proficiently, and later, he learned three sets of basic dagger skills, so far, he has also achieved great success, this time, he just plans to see if he wants to re-select a set of other basic weapon skills, or continue to deepen the comprehension of the two basic skills he has learned.

When I came to the door of the Lianwu Pavilion, it was still early, but in the Lianwu Pavilion, there were already some disciples' shouts. In front of the door sat an old man with a horseface.

Seeing this scene, Ye Bai smiled at the corner of his mouth, and couldn't help but think of his previous self, when he first entered the Ye family, he was just like them, he came here every morning before dawn, learning these basic skills, and delusionally thinking that one day, he could learn any powerful skills, but ......

Thinking of this, Ye Bai shook his head, with a hint of remembrance in his eyes, and sighed, among these people, I don't know how many people will be able to continue to persevere tomorrow? Ye Bai knows very well that practicing these basic skills is boring, boring, and painful.

He has seen too much, he entered this martial arts pavilion for one day, and left angrily the next day, or disdainful people, except for him, three years like a day, as soon as he is free, he will come over, and the people in this have changed I don't know how many batches.

Basic skills, as the name suggests, naturally can't be profound, most of them only have some simple movements, but if you want to learn, you have to temper them thousands of times, sometimes, a sword picking, a sword drawing, a sword stabbing action, you have to repeat it a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times...... But when you learn it, its power can't be compared to the Xuan Technique at all, so except for poor disciples like Ye Bai, no one will learn it.

In fact, not only those who have occult skills are disdainful of these skills, and they will never come here to practice martial arts, but also those ordinary disciples who can't afford to buy mystical skills and have to come to practice this basic skill like Ye Bai also look down on these skills, some people feel that they will learn mystical skills sooner or later, and this kind of low-level skill is the same when they don't learn it, and other people think that their cultivation of mystical qi in this life is hopeless and not worth spending time, and some people can't bear this hardship, and they give up after studying for three days.

But Ye Bai is different.

He learns these as life-saving skills, no matter how bad it is, as long as it is useful, it is worth spending time and energy, not that he really thinks how powerful these skills are, but that he deeply understands that if he works hard now, even if it is just a small point, he may save his life at a critical moment, and he will have a better chance of winning when he takes risks.

Therefore, he put almost all of his rest time on these basic skills, when others played, rested, and slept, he was practicing these basic skills, and every time he went out, in the adventure, several times his life was in danger, which was the most despised, the most shameful, and disdainful of learning the basic skills, which repeatedly saved his life.

Therefore, he felt that it was not that these skills were useless, but that everyone had not really learned them, he was the first and only one, who insisted on learning these skills over and over again, and had been persisting for three years as a disciple of the Ye family, many people sneered at him, but he never wavered.

So, when he came to this martial arts pavilion again today, and saw the shouts and cheers of a group of people inside, he was thinking, how many of these people could last for three years like him? Or like those people before, they couldn't stand the pain of such a boring and tasteless refining the next day, and left in disgrace?

Thinking of this, Ye Bai couldn't help but shake his head and smile, whether these people can persist or not, what does it matter to themselves? Everyone will have their own choice.

No longer thinking about these things, Ye Bai stepped forward and was about to step through the door.

At this moment, the figure flashed, and the horse-faced old man had come to Ye Bai at some point, stopped him, and looked at Ye Bai with eagle-like eyes, "Stop-"

Ye Bai was stunned for a moment, stood in place, looked at the horse-faced old man, and said with a slightly cold face: "What does this mean, old man?"

"You can't go in!" said the horse-faced old man, in a sneering tone.

Ye Bai raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, don't let me in?"

The old man raised his eyebrows, and then sneered and said: "That's just for those disciples who can bring benefits to the family in the future, like you, who can't even afford a low-level mystical technique, what kind of benefits can you talk about, three months later, if you can't pass the family assessment, you will have to get out of this foreign sect and get out of the Ye family, right? For people like you who are about to be removed from the family, what reason is there for you to let you eat and drink for nothing, so, if you want to enter? It's okay, ten taels of silver at a time, you can't stay for more than two hours at a time, you can choose yourself!"

Ye Bai's face suddenly became gloomy, and he said coldly: "How do you know that I will definitely be expelled from the outer sect in three months, what if I pass the assessment?"

The horse-faced old man burst out laughing: "You...... After passing the assessment, you haven't woken up yet, just like you, who has neither money nor backing, and even people with low qualifications, actually want to pass the assessment of the inner sect, hmph, if you can pass the assessment of the inner sect, I will write my name upside down. ”

"But ......" he sneered: "Before you pass the Inner Sect assessment, if you want to go in, you will have to pay ten taels of silver once." Why? No, why does the family want to set up a martial arts pavilion for you for free, I don't think it's good, so I changed the rules, if you want to enter, you can, ten taels of silver at a time, pay for it, if you don't want to pay for it, then get out, don't hinder me from doing things. Give the money or get out, the choice is yours, but-"

Speaking of this, the horse-faced old man was stunned, and immediately laughed and said: "It's not you, a poor boy, you can't even take out ten taels of silver, right? Hahaha! What are you still doing here, how far and how far can you roll, this foreign sect is not something that anyone can come, so as not to dirty the road in front of the door!"

"You ......" Ye Bai laughed angrily, took a step forward, and a faint white light began to appear above his left hand, and the old man smiled and said: "Why, angry, do you still want to beat me, how about it, you bite me, hit me, sue me, my brother-in-law is the deacon of this foreign law hall, you go to sue, beat, try ......"

Ye Bai was so angry that his eyes turned red, but after a while, he took a long breath, his eyes slowly became calm, and his clenched fists were released.

Looking at the horse-faced old man, he said lightly, "Aren't you afraid of causing trouble?"

"Disaster?" Hearing this, the horse-faced old man suddenly laughed: "I'm a mortal, and I'm going to be buried in a few years, if I don't make a good deal at this time, I feel at a loss, what's more, do you think those elders really care about you being expelled from the Ye family's disciples, even if you report it, no one will pay attention to it, what am I afraid of, I'm afraid of you?......"

Speaking of this, he sneered, his voice was full of ridicule and disdain, obviously he didn't care about a low-level disciple like Ye Bai who had no money and no power and no backstage.

Obviously, he decided that it was impossible for Ye Bai to become a disciple of the Inner Sect, and the three-year trial period was about to expire, if Ye Bai's contribution points did not meet the requirements by then, he would be expelled from the Outer Sect, and he naturally did not need to worry about such a person.

Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to treat Ye Bai like this at all, because once he becomes a disciple of the Inner Sect, his status will not be the same, even if he kills a porter like him by mistake, no one will dare to say a word about it, but obviously, on the surface, with Ye Bai's current identity, status, and qualifications, he didn't think that Ye Bai would have such an opportunity, so he dared to be so humiliated, and even blocked the door and collected the toll to Ye Bai.

"What's going on outside?"

At this moment, a crisp and pleasant woman's voice sounded, and immediately, a beautiful woman in a green shirt walked out, and when she saw Ye Bai in front of the door, she smiled: "Ye Bai, you are here, what's wrong? What are you still standing at the door? Come in!" But it was Ye Meizhu, the swordsmanship instructor in this martial arts pavilion, who heard the movement and walked out.

Ye Bai and the horse-faced old man were both stunned, Ye Bai bowed slightly and said, "Lecturer!" And the face of the horse-faced old man instantly changed from contempt for Ye Bai to respect for the person who came, bent down, and said flatteringly: "Lord Ye!"

Ye Meizhu saw the atmosphere between the two, smiled, and said, "What's the matter, Ye Bai, tell the teacher?"

The horse-faced old man snorted, although he dared to rely on his brother-in-law to be one of the deacons in this outer hall, the fox was pretending to be a tiger, and sneered at Ye Bai, but he didn't dare to be a little offended to this lecturer Ye from an extraordinary background, and he was worried in his heart, afraid that Ye Bai would tell what he had just done, his face was blue and white for a while, he lowered his head, and his body trembled involuntarily.

Once Ye Bai said what he had just done, he was afraid that he would be punished immediately, and even his deacon brother-in-law would be reprimanded, which was what he was most afraid of.

There was silence for a while, and the woman saw that the two were silent, so she didn't ask, and said, "Ye Bai, what are you doing standing at the door, come in!" beckoned to Ye Bai, obviously seeing something.

Ye Bai looked at the woman's beautiful face, suddenly took a step back, and said, "No, Lecturer Ye, until Xuanshi, Ye Bai will never step into this martial arts pavilion again!"

After speaking, he turned around and strode away, without even looking at the horse-faced old man.

"Kid, what's going on today?"

Looking at Ye Bai's back, Ye Meizhu said suspiciously, and at this time, a young man's voice came from inside: "Sister Zhu, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing...... Ye Meizhu hurriedly replied, then turned around and walked inside, but when she walked to the door, she couldn't help but glance back at the back of the strange young man, and then she walked in in confusion.

Seeing Ye Meizhu walk into the Lianwu Pavilion, it wasn't until the green skirt disappeared that the horse-faced old man dared to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, and was a little surprised that Ye Bai didn't complain to the woman, but turned around and left, and then became even more disdainful: "Waste is waste, there is no money, no backer, no ability, and now I don't even have any backbone, let you take the test to get in, you still don't want to, then get out......"

And Ye Bai walked slowly on the way back, just clenching his hands, his nails piercing into the flesh, and bright red blood flowed from between his fingers, and he didn't realize it.

"A mortal who can't even cultivate Xuanqi dares to insult himself so much, everything is strength, if he has the strength of Xuanshi, would such a snob dare to do this to me?"

"Now, if a mortal can rely on his own little relationship to bully me like this, then, one day, I will be bullied by other more powerful ones, if you want to change, everything, only strength!"

Turning around and glancing at the tall attic that gradually disappeared behind him, Ye Bai was ruthless: "I want to let the people who insult me and look down on me be impressed, one day, I want to let these guys who look down on people with dogs' eyes, and then open their dog's eyes wider, this kind of insult, I will never bear it a second time." Before I become a disciple of the Inner Sect, I will not come here to practice martial arts again!"

"Old man Ye, you wait, didn't you say that I couldn't pass the assessment, then I'll pass it for you, didn't you say that I couldn't become a disciple of the Inner Sect, then I will become a disciple of the Inner Sect for you!"

"Someday, I'll be back!"

With a cold smile, Ye Bai cleaned up his mood, turned around and left, and walked back towards his residence, the expression on his face had become resolute, but he secretly said in his heart: "Old man Ye, do you think I have no chance to become a disciple of the Inner Sect, but you may not know, I am almost at the peak of the eighth layer of Xuan Qi, as long as I work hard, work harder, in three months, I will definitely be able to become a disciple of the Inner Sect, when the time comes, I will come to see what kind of expression is on your face!"
