Chapter 156: The Five Courtyards of the Sword Sect
As the only one who can come to his senses again after suffering the Red Dust Heart Refining Tribulation, Ling Xiao has been treated differently by Nanguo Hongdou for two reasons, one is that this kid is the sweetheart of the Sword Sect's treasure Peach, and the other is that Nanguo Hongdou's own sweetheart is still a living dead after being eaten by the Red Dust Refining Heart Tribulation.
But as long as he sees Ling Xiao, for some reason, Nanguo Red Bean will sprout a glimmer of hope from the depths of his heart, and maybe when his sweetheart will wake up like Ling Xiao, so that he can throw himself into his arms and cry happily.
Therefore, seeing that the sweetheart of the peach in front of him finally came to the Sword Sect, the southern red bean only had blessings and only happiness, and was not full of all kinds of anxiety like other Sword Sect predecessors, thinking about whether taking Ling Xiao in would lead to the revenge of the spear god, and thinking about how to deal with the god of war ring.
In the eyes of Nanguo Hongdou, the Sword Sect and the Spear God family have been fighting for hundreds of years, and there is no need to scruple about anything at all, can they still hope to hand over Ling Xiao in exchange for peace.
As for the God of War Ring, it's even better to say, no matter from which point of view, Ling Xiao is the owner of the God of War Ring, the owner hasn't spoken yet, what right does a group of outsiders have to think about the disposal of other people's belongings.
It's a pity that not everyone in the Sword Sect thinks so, Ling Xiao can come to join the Sword Sect, it should be a good thing, but if something unpleasant happens because of his sensitive identity and possession of the God of War Ring, then I really don't know if it's a good thing.
Although countless thoughts turned in her heart, Nanguo Hongdou didn't want the young man in front of her to enter into worry in advance, so she did her duty as a senior and tour guide, introducing the bits and pieces of the Sword Sect to Ling Xiao, and of course, she couldn't help but add some of her own opinions.
"Ling Xiao, you can join the Sword Sect this time, the most important point for you is the spiritual power cultivation method of the Sword Sect system, remember to consider which academy to join the Sword Sect after you go up to the Sword Sect Palace. The exercises practiced in each school are different. ”
Ling Xiao also has three points of familiarity and seven points of respect for the southern red bean, and he is not polite, so he asked directly, "Senior red bean, I know that the Sword Sect is composed of five academies, but I really don't know the main exercises of each academy, can I trouble you to introduce it." ”
"Of course you can, the five academies are distinguished by direction, and the Middle East Academy majors in a fast word. The West Courtyard majored in a heavy character, the Middle Courtyard majored in the spiritual character, and the North and South Courtyards were actually established in the past ten years. ”
"By the way, there is another point, Ling Xiao, you have to pay attention to the fact that the Sword Sect is established with the intention of taking the peace of the world as its responsibility. However, with the establishment of the North and South Courts, this purpose has been biased, and no matter how much you endure the momentary anger, you can make a difference. ”
Hearing these words that seemed a little inexplicable, he didn't wait for Ling Xiao to ask in detail. Nanguo Hongdou had already pushed him towards the last section of steps, "Don't waste time, the four steps of the Sword Sect, the last two sections are all garrisoned by our middle court." The garrison of this last section is Sister Peach, why don't you hurry up!"
Hearing that Peaches was waiting for him on it, how could Ling Xiao stay any longer. Hurriedly thanked the southern red beans, turned around and walked towards the last flight of steps.
Maybe it's too profound, maybe it's old, the breath of heaven and earth on the steps is too weak, or maybe it's about to see the peach, the mood is a little fluctuating, in short, this last step walked, Ling Xiao didn't realize anything, standing under the last archway, just glanced at the eight words on the archway, "Where the love goes, the golden stone is open."
And the long-awaited peach had already thrown herself into Ling Xiao's arms, her face flushed with excitement, "Brother Xiao, you can count it as coming, those two bastards in the East and West Courtyards didn't mess with you, that Liu Zongxing always pesters me, but I never give him any good looks." ”
Listening to Peaches babbling and trying to explain something, Ling Xiao smiled suddenly, "Listen to me, Peach, you are you, you have nothing to do with others, I believe in you, you have to believe me, okay?"
Peach, who was originally a little apprehensive, no longer had any doubt in his expression, and nodded heavily, "By the way, Brother Xiao, even if the mountain worship ceremony is over with me, go to the Sword Sect Hall to choose the courtyard! Remember not to choose the north and south courtyards, the other courtyards are casual." ”
With a stomach full of doubts, Ling Xiao, who didn't understand what was wrong within the Sword Sect, began to walk towards the Sword Sect Hall in the company of Peaches!
The golden bricks and green tiles emitted ten thousand rays of light under the cover of the sun, coupled with the rise of nearly five hundred steps, the Sword Sect Hall is already on the mountainside of the holy mountain, far above the clouds, as far as the eye can see, the sea of clouds is swirling, it is really a fairy atmosphere!
It's a pity that before he entered the Sword Sect Hall, Ling Xiao's original good impression was ruined by the sound of quarrels coming from inside. "Since Ling Xiao wants to join our Sword Sect, the God of War Ring belongs to our Sword Sect, and letting the disciples hand it over to the sect for safekeeping is also for his own safety. ”
This is a rough voice, taking other people's belongings as their own, and still being so vigorous, thinking that the same thing has been done a lot, otherwise how could it be so peaceful.
"No, after all, it is the personal belongings of the disciples, it is inappropriate for us to be elders and not give some greeting gifts, so how can we be embarrassed to put away the personal belongings of the new disciples? However, I heard that this Ling Xiao is talented and intelligent, which of the five academies of the Sword Sect is more suitable for cultivating him, it is better to discuss it carefully. I don't think it's appropriate for the new disciples to make their own choices, as has been the case in the past. ”
Listening to everyone's consent, the corners of Ling Xiao's mouth showed a little sneer, it sounds like this old man thinks about people everywhere, in fact, I am afraid that after the God of War Ring is returned to the sect, he will not be able to take advantage of it at all. Moreover, the idea that came out later was obviously ill-intentioned, and it must be the idea of wanting to put himself in his courtyard and then deal with it slowly.
I didn't expect a God of War ring to cause the Sword Sect to shake so much, listening to these remarks, is this still the place that cultivators in the world yearn for the most?
Suddenly, a cold snort reached Ling Xiao's ears, "Everyone, do these things still need to be discussed? For a hundred years, the Sword Sect has never made an exception, what was done before, and what is done now. As for what you are worried about, who has the Sword Sect been afraid of over the years?"
Three words set the tone, and ended the discussion with a strong rhetorical question, which was reasonable and responsible, and in a certain sense, these words were also said to Ling Xiao. At least after Ling Xiao heard these three words, his heart was full of gratitude.
At the moment, Ling Xiao entered with pride, there was no abnormality on the surface, but his heart was full of the courage of 2,000 people who attacked the enemy army of 100,000 people, if he couldn't solve the troubles caused by the God of War Ring well, if he and the Sword Sect turned against each other, his relationship with Peaches would definitely encounter unimaginable resistance.
Seeing that the main lord finally came, no matter what idea he had in his heart, the sword sect hall finally restored the peace and tranquility that it had always been, but it was unknown how much greed was hidden under this peace and tranquility.
The entire Sword Sect Hall is a huge hall, all kinds of precious beast skins form a huge carpet, it is very comfortable to step on it, but the two dozen seniors sitting on the two columns of Taishi chairs are all staring at Ling Xiao, which still makes him feel some pressure.
Standing about five meters in front of the sect master, Peach had already opened her mouth to report the process of the mountain worship ceremony, although the sect master sitting above was her father, but in such a strict occasion, Peach still seemed meticulous, so that people could not find the slightest mistake, "Sect Master, Ling Xiao has completed the mountain worship ceremony, I am here to report!"
After speaking, Taozi secretly glanced at Ling Xiao, and after giving him a reassuring look, she obediently stepped forward and stood behind the sect leader Liu Yuping.
And the sect master, who had been staring at Ling Xiao for a long time, finally spoke, "Ling Xiao, you have already walked through the four arches and stepped into the Sword Sect Hall, from this moment on, you are a member of the Sword Sect, and there is nothing else to say for the time being, now what you need to do is to choose one of the four courtyards of the Sword Sect, east, west, north and south to join." ”
The Sword Sect has five academies, but only allows new disciples to choose four of them, and the Middle Court Sect does not participate in this choice. I am afraid that over the years, standing on this occasion to participate in the selection of new disciples of the Four Academies, there has never been one who has such a deep understanding of the exercises practiced by the Four Academies as Ling Xiao.
I'm afraid that only Ling Xiao and others can understand the true meaning of the Sword Sect Sect Master's decision to let the new disciples choose for themselves at this time.
In fact, Ling Xiao already had his own judgment on which academy to join, that is, the Eastern Academy, which majored in fast sword.
The essence of the fast sword is endless, avoiding the real and hitting the void, and there is a secret combination with Ling Xiao's bow and arrow technique, and the same as the main attack method of the fast sword, the attack of the bow and arrow technique is also a similar indomitable point attack!
Therefore, choosing the East Courtyard has become Ling Xiao's decision, "The East Courtyard Fast Sword is extremely powerful, and the new disciples are willing to choose the East Courtyard to join!"
As soon as Ling Xiao's words came out, the entire hall was suddenly in an uproar, no one understood why Ling Xiao chose the East Courtyard, almost all the other Sword Sect seniors except for the Master of the Eastern Courtyard were maliciously guessing what means this Eastern Courtyard used to bring this hot Ling Xiao into the courtyard.
On the contrary, the heart of the master of the East Courtyard was churning, it was a good thing to include Ling Xiao in the courtyard, but now is the critical moment when the husband is not guilty and is guilty, accepting Ling Xiao is equivalent to accepting a trouble, when the next spirit is excited, he got up and spoke, "The strength of the East Courtyard is meager, I am afraid that Ling Xiao's cultivation will be delayed, and I really don't have the ability to admit him into the courtyard, please ask the sect master to adjudicate!"
People with stupid minds still don't understand why the benefits in their hands have to be pushed out desperately, but the ones whose brains turn quickly immediately understand the plan of the East Courtyard Master, and they all secretly admire, of course, after the East Courtyard Master said such a thing, the eyes of everyone in the entire hall brushed the ground and looked at the Sword Sect Sect Master in unison, wanting to see how this problem would be solved.
