The architectural structure of the inner courtyard of Dongling is similar to that of the outer courtyard, and the attics are lined up in rows, exuding an ancient atmosphere. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although it is a secret place, there is also the sun in the sky, blue sky and white clouds, there are willows hanging down all around, lakes rippling, the breeze is raised, the water waves are light, and the willow branches are slightly raised, which is really picturesque.

Following the five Dharma Protector Elders, following a quiet path, walking slowly, Han Chen raised his eyes and looked around, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Are you wondering, why can't you see many people in this inner courtyard?" seemed to see Han Chen's thoughts, and among the five Dharma Protector Elders, an old man in a cyan robe smiled at Han Chen.

This old man is the head of the five Dharma Protector Elders, full of silver hair, he looks very old, but his breath is calm, and his edge is not revealed, from his body, Han Chen can feel a lot of oppression, with his current cultivation in the middle of the Nine Star Sword Venerable, he can still make him feel the pressure, I'm afraid even if he is a peak powerhouse of the Sword Venerable, he can't do it.

"Hmm!" nodded, didn't hide anything, and said: "When he was in the outer courtyard, Han Chen had heard that the inner courtyard was the foundation of the entire Dongling Courtyard, and only by stepping into the Venerable Realm could he leave the outer courtyard, and enter the inner courtyard, but now, the people he saw were only seven or eight people!"

"Hehe!" Hearing Han Chen's words, the old man shook his head and smiled, and said, "Martial arts cultivation is mostly arduous, especially after stepping into the Venerable Realm like us. If there is nothing else to do, most of them will choose to meditate and enlighten themselves and cultivate themselves. ”

"You can't see many people, it's just those people who are cultivating!"

After a pause, the old man looked at Han Chen and said with a smile: "Moreover, do you know that my inner court disciples have a total geometry?"

Hear the old man's words. The other four elders also turned their heads to look at Han Chen.

Han Chen frowned slightly, this question was asked to him. He didn't know much about the inner court, and it was in the outer court. No one knows, this is known for its mystery, how many disciples are among them, and how do you know?

"Juniors don't know!" Han Chen shook his head.

"Hahaha..."The five elders laughed at the same time.

It was not ridicule, but gratification, Han Chen's attitude was much better than they imagined, even though his strength was amazing and his talent was terrifying. Not arrogant, not arrogant, neither humble nor arrogant, rare!

"Han Chen, my Dongling Academy has been in Zhongzhou for more than 6,000 years, and every year there will be disciples who break through, step into the Venerable Realm, and enter the inner courtyard, to this day. There are more than 33,600 disciples in my inner court!" He said with a smile: "But after all, this is the number of six thousand years of accumulation, and it should not be counted, and now, the real total number of disciples in my inner courtyard is more than three thousand seven hundred people!"

Hiss...

Although what the Qingpao Elder said was an understatement. But Han Chen was still shocked and gasped.

Six thousand years, the number of disciples in the Venerable Realm can reach more than 33,600, even today. There are also more than 3,700 of them, which is not terrible.

"But that's just a pretty good number!" At this time, a Dharma Protector Elder next to him shook his head and said.

"What do you mean by what the elder said?" Han Chen's eyes flashed and he asked.

"Han Chen, you should know that my Dongling Academy, in addition to the four major branches that can recruit disciples, is also open to the Eastern Regions to recruit places, as long as you pass the assessment, you can enter my Dongling Academy!"

As the voice of the green-robed elder sounded, the group walked through the secluded path without hurry, and stepped on a forest path, surrounded by trees, and the sound of insects and birds sounded from time to time, which was very quiet.

"Well, Dongling Courtyard has opened the door for convenience, and many people have praised it!" Han Chen nodded, he naturally knew this, and his words were not false.

Like the Eastern Spirit Academy, as long as you have the strength of the Sword Sect Realm, you can enter the academy to cultivate, and it does not restrict its freedom in the slightest, such an existence, in the entire Eastern Regions, it is the only one, and many people praise it very much.

"Open the door of convenience?" Hearing Han Chen's words, one of the elders sneered, a look of sarcasm on his face.

Han Chen's eyes flashed, it looked like the Eastern Spirit Academy, it didn't seem to be as transcendent as it looked!

"Dongling Academy, although there are many protégés, but among these people, how many of them really belong to my Dongling Academy's protégé?" As the voice sounded, the old man in the green robe turned his head to look at Han Chen.

Han Chen didn't speak, this question was not necessary to be answered at all.

Dongling Academy has four branches, the so-called protégés of the lineage, all of which come from, as for the Dongling Academy itself, because of the relationship between Zhongzhou, basically, there is no possibility of cultivating protégés.

In this way, the situation is very delicate, every time the Dongling Academy enrolls students, all the forces in the Eastern Regions will send disciples to come, just like Bu Wanqian and Vientiane Gongzi and others at the beginning.

These people are all disciples who are focused on cultivating by various forces, and even if they succeed in cultivation in the future, they will definitely not stay in Dongling Academy.

In this way, the protégés of the lineage mentioned by the Qingpao Elder are only the disciples of the four major branches.

"There are more than 3,700 disciples in the inner courtyard, among them really belong to my Dongling Academy's protégés, but there are only five hundred!" Turning his head to look at Han Chen, who was still as calm as water, the old man in the green robe had more appreciation in his eyes, and said slowly.

"These more than 500 disciples have lived in the inner courtyard for a long time, and we personally guide and teach, while the other more than 3,000 people, except for the New Year, will come back to participate in a big competition, and at other times, they will not return, which is why you asked before, why can't you see anyone!"

After stepping into the inner courtyard, he found that he couldn't get more cultivation resources, and he couldn't explore the true secrets of the Dongling Academy, and those disciples of various sects were not fools, so it was naturally impossible to continue to spend time here, but some superficial efforts still had to be done, so when the year was over, they would only come back once.

Moreover, Han Chen estimates that I am afraid that these people are taking this New Year's Pass as a chance to give their sect forces a long face!

After a few moments, the group walked through the woods, and the trail came to an end, stopping in front of an old attic.

The attic doesn't look big, only three floors, surrounded by a bamboo forest, and a small stream intersperses it, just enclosing the attic, the stream is murmuring, the sound is dingdong, and it is very crisp.

The attic door was closed, and a plaque hung on the door beam, with the word "two words" on it.

"Emperor Zhai!"

Han Chen raised his eyebrows, what a domineering name.

"The courtyard master is inside, you can enter by yourself!" the old man in the green robe smiled at Han Chen.

Han Chen nodded, and was about to step into the attic, but then as if he had thought of something, he turned around and came back to look at the old man in the green robe.

"Elder, I don't know that there is a Blue Sword Venerable in my Eastern Spirit Academy?"

"Blue Sword Venerable?"

Hearing Han Chen's words, the green-robed elder was slightly stunned, while the four Dharma Protector elders on the side looked at Han Chen with strange eyes.
