Chapter 134: Dancing Elephant Courtyard
The red sun is rising, shooting out the golden light.
Outside Yongning City, Zhu Huaishan boarded the southbound carriage, poked his head out of the carriage, and waved at Zhao Lin.
"My disciple, don't send it, let's go to the sect early."
Zhao Lin nodded heavily, "Master, when will you come back?" ”
"In two years, I will pass on the exercise prescription to Gao Yuan, and I will come when he can support the Liuhe Gate."
"Then take care on your way."
"Don't worry, Master's old bones can still withstand the toss......"
The coachman whipped his horse and drove it, and the wheels of the cart spun rapidly.
Zhao Lin stood for a long time, until the carriage turned into a small black dot, and then turned around and walked towards the city.
Yongning City is the largest state capital in the northern states, living millions of people, there are thirteen city gates alone, and there are nine city gates in the inner city, known as "the inner nine and the outer thirteen".
If you take a detour from outside the city to Xingyun Sect, you will have to walk for at least half an hour.
Zhao Lin walked out of the city, glanced at the mountains in the distance, determined the correct direction, and strode up.
About three sticks of incense, run to the foot of the mountain.
Xingyun Sect is located in a place surrounded by peaks, the forest is verdant and verdant, approaching the mountain gate, the quiet and simple atmosphere is blowing in the face.
Today it was clean here, and only a few disciples of the Xingyun Sect were patrolling in front of the mountain.
"This talent, but Senior Brother Zhao Lin Zhao?"
A man in black sat in front of the stone steps, and when he saw Zhao Lin, he immediately got up to greet him, clasping his fists with both hands.
The man was in his thirties, of medium height, with a tall figure and a piercing gaze.
Zhao Lin thought to himself that he had just come to Yongning City and had no acquaintances, how did this person find him?
"I'm Zhao Lin, do you know me?"
Ma Chaoxian grinned, "My man Ma Chaoxian is the owner of the Haoyue Martial Arts Pavilion in Yongning City. Dare to ask, you are a new disciple of the Dancing Elephant Academy, right? ”
Zhao Lin raised his eyebrows, vaguely guessed the other party's intention, and said, "Exactly, is there something wrong?" ”
Ma Chaoxian said with a smile: "We Haoyue Martial Arts Pavilion has not been created for a long time, and we want to hire Senior Brother Zhao as the capital teacher, but I don't know what to do?" ”
Zhao Lin pondered for a moment and asked, "Where is your martial arts hall?" ”
The capital is equivalent to a visiting professor in the previous life, and he goes to the martial arts hall from time to time to teach people to practice martial arts.
Generally speaking, the Tokyo is mostly a well-known local martial artist, and the martial arts hall borrows its name to attract apprentices.
The more apprentices there are, the more tuition fees will be charged, and it will be convenient to expand the network business.
The disciple of the Xingyun Sect Dance Elephant Academy is naturally a pretty good signboard.
Zhao Lin didn't refuse because he really needed money.
He had saved a lot of money when he was in Qinghe County, and the rewards he received for suppressing bandits alone were as much as 1,000 taels.
However, the last month has also been very expensive.
When he left Qinghe County, Zhao Lin gave Liang Song two hundred taels so that he could continue to practice martial arts and not have to go out too early to do things for the martial arts hall.
The family traveled a long way to this place, and spent a lot of money on the carriage and horse accommodation along the way.
When I came to Yongning City, I bought a house again, and I had to pay money to practice martial arts in Xingyun Sect......
Although I still have savings on hand, I can't get in and out, and sooner or later I will have a day to use up.
It is indeed a good choice to do a capital in the martial arts hall, which is not dangerous and does not require too much effort.
Ma Chaoxian observed his words and looks, knowing that there was a way to do things, and said with a smile: "The martial arts hall is on the straight street of Qingliangmen, not far from here. ”
"As long as Senior Brother Zhao is willing to come, our martial arts hall is willing to give 20% of dry shares, plus 100 taels of silver per month for tea."
Zhao Lin thought about it and felt that the conditions were good, but some things had to be explained in advance.
"I am a disciple of Xingyun Sect, and martial arts cannot be passed on to ......"
"Of course!"
Ma Chaoxian said angrily, "We will definitely not mention this kind of difficult request of a strong man!" As long as Senior Brother Zhao comes over for a few days a month to instruct the apprentices, it is enough to show up. ”
After speaking, he took out a bag of silver from his arms, "This is the tea money for the first two months, please accept it with a smile." ”
Zhao Lin didn't reach out to take it, shook his head and said, "Don't be busy collecting the money first, I'll talk about it after I visit you one day." ”
This kind of thing must be seen before you can rest assured, otherwise you will not be able to deceive people with ill intentions and deceive in the name of Xingyun Sect.
"It's okay, Senior Brother Zhao is a cautious person, so I won't bother here."
Ma Chaoxian didn't force it, put away the silver, and left.
Zhao Lin walked to the mountain gate, showed the jade plaque to the disciples guarding the door, asked where the Ming Dancing Elephant Courtyard was, and walked towards the mountain.
There are many patches of buildings scattered on both sides of the mountain road, with blue bricks and tiles, elegant and chic.
The outer courtyard is near the foot of the mountain, the inner courtyard is halfway up the mountain, and the top of the mountain is the residence of the head of the sect, elders, deacons and other high-ranking members of the Xingyun Sect.
Not far from the inner courtyard, the Elephant Dancing Courtyard is divided into five areas, which look like a huge starfish from a distance.
Zhao Lin knew that the Dancing Elephant Courtyard had five parts: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and guessed that it should be the area divided according to this.
In the middle of the "starfish" is an empty lobby, with a large mahogany table in the middle, and a middle-aged man with gray temples sitting in the back.
When he went down the mountain yesterday, Hu Xuancheng had already told the disciples what to do, and Zhao Lin came to the Dancing Elephant Academy and walked directly into the lobby.
"You are?"
The middle-aged man saw Zhao Lin come in and asked.
"A new disciple, Zhao Lin." Zhao Lin said, showing the jade card.
The middle-aged man let out an "oh" and said with a smile: "I know you, Elder Shuijing specially told you to go to the Shuijing Department today." ”
Zhao Lin heard what he said and asked, "Senior brother, do you mean that I can still choose other departments?" ”
"Exactly."
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "The human body has the qi of the five elements of yin and yang, and most people have a balance of five qi, so it doesn't make much difference which major exercises to choose." ”
"But there are also a handful of people who are naturally suited to a certain exercise. Therefore, some disciples enter the qi realm and their cultivation has stagnated for many years, so they change to other exercises. ”
"The result?" Zhao Lin asked.
"Nine out of ten bets lose." The middle-aged man sighed, as if he was deeply touched.
"I'll go to the Water Mirror Department."
Zhao Lin discussed with his master yesterday that his martial arts were progressing smoothly, and there was no need to change his exercises in vain.
"Okay, give me the jade plate."
The middle-aged man asked Zhao Lin's jade plate over, took out a carving knife from the drawer, and quickly engraved Zhao Lin's name on the jade plate, and then carved the word "water" next to it.
When Zhao Lin saw it, he was quite emotional.
The middle-aged man is also a martial artist at first glance, but now he is working as a civilian.
Practicing martial arts is like this, either cultivate all the way to the Yuan Realm and become a martial arts master in the eyes of the world, or stop at a certain realm and start to delay in mundane things.
The middle-aged man carved the jade plaque, returned it to Zhao Lin, and said, "The monthly fee for learning martial arts is twenty taels, and you can pay it for one year." ”
The monthly tuition fee of Liuhe Gate is only two taels, but here in Xingyun Sect it costs twenty taels.
It's not that Xingyun Sect wants to make money from this, but because the family has a big business, there are thousands of disciples alone, if all the expenses are borne by the sect, it is estimated that the disciples can only go out to find a way to live like martial arts apprentices, and they can't concentrate on practicing martial arts.
"Can I pay half a year first?"
Zhao Lin thought for a while and asked, maybe he has broken through to the blood realm in half a year, wouldn't it be a loss to pay for a year?
