Chapter 189: The Inner Courtyard

"It turns out that you are Zhao Lin, you are really a talent!"

Lu Chaohuan looked at Zhao Lin, praised it sincerely, and then said: "Since the establishment of our Xingyun Sect, there are only a handful of people who can enter the blood realm at the age of eighteen. ”

"I hope you will make persistent efforts to shine in the martial arts competition in the future, and give our sect a fight! Give Da Yue a fight! ”

Zhao Lin said in a deep voice: "The disciple will do his best. ”

"Good."

Lu Chaohuan gave a few more words of encouragement, and said to Elder Shui Jing with a smile: "Thank you Brother Shui Jing for cultivating a young talent for the sect." ”

"To be honest, the drop of dragon bone tree blood that I gave out last time made my flesh hurt for a long time, and now it seems that it is really worth it."

Elder Shuijing smiled and said, "The head of the family praises falsely, and the old man doesn't dare to take credit." ”

He said that he didn't dare to take credit, but the corners of his mouth unconsciously brought a smile.

After greeting for a while, Lu Chaohuan summoned a disciple who was acting, pointed at Zhao Lin and said, "This is Zhao Lin, a new disciple of the inner court, you can help him arrange it." ”

"Yes."

The disciple agreed, and said to Zhao Lin: "Senior Brother Zhao, please come with me." ”

Zhao Lin said goodbye to the head and elders, and walked out of the main hall with the disciples, and came to the "confidential place" not far away.

The secret area is a stone building, and on the left and right sides of the entrance are display cases containing many files.

Both the exterior and the interior are very similar to the houses of the county government.

"Senior Brother Zhao, please give me the jade plate."

The disciple said politely.

Zhao Lin untied the jade plate on his waist and handed it over.

The disciple took the jade plaque, opened a cabinet with the key, and took out a rectangular topaz half the size of a palm.

Use a carving knife to carve Zhao Lin's name on the topaz, and then hand it to him, "This is the waist card of the inner courtyard, Senior Brother Zhao, please keep it properly." ”

"We will arrange the relevant matters in these two days, and you can report to the inner courtyard the day after tomorrow."

Zhao Lin was stunned, "That's good?" Don't you need information such as age, place of origin, address, etc.? ”

The disciple smiled, "We can find the relevant records here." ”

Zhao Lin thought that the administrative efficiency here was quite high, and he was slightly surprised, and asked, "Don't you have to pay the tuition fee for medicinal materials to enter the inner courtyard?" ”

The disciple shook his head, but still said with a smile: "The inner courtyard disciple is the elite of the sect, and everything is free. Besides, there are only a few dozen people, and presumably the sect can afford it. ”

"Okay, I'll be able to go to the inner courtyard the day after tomorrow, right?"

"Yes, early the day after tomorrow."

……

Although Zhao Lin had no intention of showing off, the news that he broke through the blood realm and entered the inner courtyard quickly spread in the Dancing Elephant Courtyard.

When he went in and out of the practice room or went to the dining hall to eat, he often had a few words of conversation with the disciples he knew and did not know.

In fact, for the disciples of the Dancing Elephant Academy, it is not difficult to break through to the blood realm, but the difficult thing is to do it before the age of twenty-five.

Most people were very convinced, after all, Zhao Lin was able to rescue his fellow disciples from under the hands of the Blood Realm martial artists, and with this courage and bravery, the sect should give a rich reward.

When Xiang Bao learned of this, he specially came from the inner courtyard to congratulate Zhao Lin.

"My brother said that you can enter the inner courtyard within a year, but I still don't believe it, but I didn't expect you to come after only two months."

Zhao Lin noticed a few redness and swelling near Xiang Leopard's neck, and asked, "How are you in the inner courtyard?" What's wrong with the neck? ”

Xiang Leopard put up his collar and covered his neck, "Just came in, what can I do?" The head of the courtyard is very fierce, and he drills people all day long. ”

"We have to take the school exam every month, and a few of our newcomers are still at the bottom!"

Then he gave Zhao Lin a general introduction to the situation in the inner courtyard.

It turned out that the inner court had two heads, Yang Lin, the head of the main court, and Pan Yue, the head of the vice court, both of whom had just taken office last year.

There are currently thirty-eight disciples in the inner court, ranging in age from twenty to twenty-eight......

Zhao Lin interrupted: "Wait, you said that the oldest disciple of the inner courtyard is twenty-eight years old, right?" Didn't you say that if you enter the inner courtyard, you can stay until you are thirty years old? ”

Xiang Bao waved his hand and said: "The martial arts competition will be held every three years, the last time was last year, and the next one is the year after tomorrow." Do the math, if you are twenty-nine this year, how old will you be the year after next? ”

Zhao Lin's heart was suddenly, and he secretly pondered that he would be twenty years old after the next year, and he didn't know if he could participate in the martial arts competition.

……

Two days later, Zhao Lin changed into the practice clothes he had just been given to him and came to the door of the inner courtyard.

The inner courtyard is located on the shoulder of the Xingyun Sect, and above is the residence of the elders, and in terms of location, the status is second only to the head and the elders.

It can also be seen from this that the sect attaches great importance to the inner court.

The inner courtyard does not occupy a wide area, and it is only about the size of a department of the Dancing Elephant Temple.

There was a long wooden sign erected in front of the door, Zhao Lin glanced at it, and saw that the wooden sign had people's names written on it: Xiao Jin, Miao Tianfeng, Lu Zhenglong...... Xiang Bao, Zhong Yewu, Zhao Lin.

It actually has its own name at the end.

According to Xiang Bao, the inner courtyard pays attention to actual combat, and has to compete for martial arts every month, and the ranking on the wooden card is the ranking of disciples' strength.

Zhao Lin showed his waist card, and the disciple on duty immediately went in to report, and after a while, a man in his thirties strode out.

Seeing Zhao Lin, the thirtie man's eyes lit up, "It turned out to be Senior Brother Zhao, I didn't expect you to enter the inner courtyard so soon!" ”

Zhao Lin saw that this person knew him, it was Hu Xuancheng who led them when he first entered the Dancing Elephant Academy.

However, Hu Xuancheng was no longer wearing disciple clothes at this time, but was dressed as a deacon, and Zhao Lin didn't know what to call for a while.

Seeing this, Hu Xuancheng smiled and said, "I am too old to continue to be a disciple in the inner courtyard. The head of the institute thought that I had some experience, so he arranged for me to do a teaching practice. ”

"Hu Jiaoxi."

"You don't need to call me that, let's call me Senior Brother Hu."

Hu Xuancheng didn't have much of a fight, and said very casually: "I'll take you around the inner courtyard first, and I'll go to see the head of Yang Yuan in a while." ”

As he spoke, he took Zhao Lin around the inner courtyard, and by the way, he told him some rules of the inner courtyard.

The structure of the inner courtyard is similar to that of the Dancing Elephant Courtyard, with a practice room, a martial arts hall, a school field, a scripture pavilion, and a quiet room......

After turning around, Zhao Lin found a problem.

He only saw a few new disciples such as Xiang Bao and Zhong Yewu in the practice room, and he didn't see any of the old disciples, so he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Senior Brother Hu, aren't there more than 30 people in our inner courtyard?" Where have all the people gone? ”

Hu Xuancheng's voice lowered: "The head of the Yang Academy just came here last year and set up a rule, except for the new disciples who are cultivating in the main department, the old disciples all rush to guard the mountain and cultivate alone in the mountain. ”

"Guarding the mountain?"

Zhao Lin knew that guarding the mountain meant guarding the medicine mountain, and most of them were served by blood realm martial artists.

The first is to prevent people outside the Xingyun Sect from stealing rare medicinal herbs, and the second is to clear the fierce beasts on the mountain and prevent the medicine farmers from being attacked.

"Sending disciples to guard the mountain, doesn't it affect cultivation?"

Hu Xuancheng smiled slightly and explained: "Guarding the mountain is just by the way, it is actually cultivating the state of mind of the disciples. Occupy the mountain like a tiger, instead of huddle together like a flock of sheep all day long. ”

"This is what Yang Yuan said."

"You just walked around the inner courtyard and saw the canteen?"

"Nope."

"It's the same reason, since it's a tiger, how can there be a reason to get together to eat."

Zhao Lin was silent for a moment, remembering a sentence he had heard in his previous life: cattle and sheep are in herds, but fierce beasts always walk alone.

In this way, this Yang Yuan head is very thoughtful.

"The Red Banyan Pavilion has arrived, and we will now go to see the head of the Yang Courtyard." Hu Xuancheng pointed forward.
