Chapter 56: Looking to the Future
The lives of Mei Xiao and the others were calmed down by the fall of the Dark Death Pavilion, Mei Xiao and Yi Yi walked slowly on the way to Wuyang Palace, they hardly had such a leisurely life as now. is either practicing martial arts or fighting for the interests of the sect, and has never had time for himself.
Sometimes, Mei Xiao thinks, what is the meaning of such a life? Human life is always limited, giving everything for the sect, the sect provides for its own support, and then dies, after a long time, it will be forgotten, completely annihilated in the dust of history, except for the yellowed history books of the sect, there will be nothing left about him.
But it doesn't mean that he doesn't want to pay for the sect, it's worth working hard for Wuyang, because Wuyang is his home. He wanted to win glory for Wuyang, and he also wanted to leave something for himself.
Yi Yi is usually very busy, and only when she is free will she seriously think about her future. If she hadn't met Mei Xiao, her future would have been to stay in Dianying Valley for the rest of her life, maybe she would have become an elder, maybe she would have become a head, but she just didn't have a future of her own. Yi Yi is now thinking about whether to break away from the Dian Ying Valley and go out with Mei Xiao to make a name for himself.
But there are still things that Yi Yi is nostalgic for in Dianying Valley, such as Yi Yi's master. The master raised her since she was a child, taught her martial arts and poison, taught her to protect herself, and she didn't want to leave the master. Although the master once said to her, "People, the most important thing is to be happy, no matter what, as long as you think you will be happy, then do it!"
Yi Yi has been hesitating for a long time, and during the time she was rushing towards Wuyang Hall with Mei Xiao, she has been thinking about where she should go, whether to pursue her own heart, or to follow her own responsibilities? If she does what she wants, she may be happy, but she will always have a trace of apology for Dianying Valley; if she fulfills her responsibility to Dianying Valley, then the story of Yun Feiyang and the head of Dianying Valley is there, she is destined not to be happy for the rest of her life, even Mei Xiao.
Yi Yi shook his head, as if he wanted to get rid of these complicated affairs, take a step at a time, thinking about it would not be of any benefit to make a decision.
Yang Xian has been practicing frantically recently, since the last time he heard Su Ting's story, he wants to catch up with Su Ting's footsteps, and he has worked harder to practice swords, and he plans to make up for the years he has spent in this idle time.
During this time, the entire Wuyang Mountain was immersed in a relaxed atmosphere, and the Wuyang disciples who had already become masters did not urge their own disciples to practice, and after the war, everyone needed to recuperate.
The only exception in the entire Wuyang Mountain is Yang Xian, in Xuan Feng's words, Yang Xian gets up earlier than the chicken and sleeps later than the dog every day, almost making progress at a speed of thousands of miles a day. Let these veteran disciples be out of reach.
Qin Feng hasn't had anything to do recently, although he is also a disciple of Dian Ying Valley, but his talent is all in medical skills, and he learns poison art just to confirm his medical skills, but no one in Dian Ying Valley can guide him, and Qin Feng is also a loose temperament, with good talent, and he is too lazy to learn anything, except for his whims, no one can let him learn anything, so naturally he drinks tea in Dian Ying Valley every day, basks in the sun, and lives the life of an old man.
After this time, Mingkong, who finally returned to the Buddha Land after his travels, seemed to have changed a person, became less serious, and according to some people in the Buddha Land, he was even a little cynical. The previous Mingkong was simply clear in his heart, but now Mingkong has seen all the things in the world, and more things have been precipitated in his heart, and his appearance is not so serious, but his heart has not changed.
Su Ting recently didn't have anything to do except instruct Yang Xian's martial arts swordsmanship and newly learned poison arts, and he started to play chess with Luo Yi when he was idle. What is surprising is that this pair of brothers who quarreled when they met were able to play chess together very harmoniously, which can be regarded as a spectacle in Wuyang Hall during this time.
Luo Yi didn't have nothing to do at all, he wanted to see the information that was transported back from the Dark Death Pavilion, although it had been sorted out by the disciples of the Dark Death Pavilion, but the work was still very tiring. Moreover, the Wuyang Palace's mountain competition is coming again, Luo Yi still has to prepare for the upcoming Wuyang competition, and he doesn't have much time to play chess with Su Ting.
Mei Xiao and Yi Yi calculated the time, planning to rush back to Wuyang before Wuyang's mountain competition, and it just so happened that Yi Yi could also visit the grand occasion of Wuyang's mountain competition and see what Mei Xiao had experienced.
Along the way, Yi Yi and Mei Xiao traveled almost all the famous scenic spots from Dian Kingdom to Pengcheng, which was only half a month's journey, and the two of them walked for two months to reach the boundary of Wuyang Palace.
This year, Luo Yi ordered people to set up a huge ring in the square in front of the palace, and the number of people participating in the competition this time is also unprecedented, because Mei Xiao, Yang Xian and other very strong disciples have already passed the competition, and will no longer compete with them, this time, their chances will be a little greater.
Su Ting couldn't help but sigh when he saw the registration book for participating in the mountain competition this time, "The disciples of Wuyang are really getting less and less on the stage, when there are strong people, they avoid them, and the strong ones are gone, so they all come back to be the overlord!"
Luo Yi also shook his head, they were all first-class and excellent at the beginning, and no one wanted to see the junior disciples so unbearable. Luo Yi thought back then, in their time, he and a group of senior brothers did not obey anyone, the stronger the senior brothers, the more challenges they received, so the selected disciples who had the qualifications to go out of the mountain were all first-class strong, and everyone could overwhelm an era, and now?
Luo Yi couldn't help but show a look of disappointment, it seems that since Mei Xiao's generation, Wuyang's atmosphere has become less and less sharp, is it because his edge has been hidden for too long and is too loosely controlled, so that these disciples don't take hard work and enterprising seriously?
A chill flashed in Luo Yi's eyes, it's time to take care of these bunnies who don't know how to make progress!
Su Ting looked at Luo Yi and knew his intentions, "Senior brother, what should we do?"
Luo Yi smiled slightly, "You'll know......"
Su Ting looked at Luo Yi's smile and knew that the disciples who participated in the big competition this time would not be better.
Three days before Dabi, the slow Mei Xiao and Yi Yi finally arrived at the Wuyang Palace, Su Tingqiang pulled Yang Xian, who was crazy about sword practice, to greet them, the four of them got together, don't sigh, the last time the four of them got together, it was when they were in the branch of the Dark Death Pavilion in the Snow Region, and now they are together on this relaxing day, so they naturally want to have a drink together.
Yang Xian, who originally liked to drink very much, didn't have any desire, and didn't even sit with Mei Xiao and the others for a long time, so he retreated to practice swordsmanship by himself.
Mei Xiao was also a little strange and asked Su Ting, "What's wrong with him?"
Su Ting smiled slightly, "Don't worry, he's just enlightened, you have to practice hard." ”
Mei Xiao nodded, "Yes, I don't want to leave any of my brothers behind." ”
Yi Yi also said, "Why didn't you see Yang Xian when you were fighting the Dark Death Pavilion?"
Su Ting said, "He was poisoned by the miasma forest outside Yunnan, and I still had a high fever when I left, so I didn't take him there." ”
Yi Yi was a little strange, "When did there be a miasma forest outside Yunnan?"
Mei Xiao also felt that something was wrong, "The forest is indeed poisonous, Uncle Xiao and Yang Xian were both tricked, and there was still someone who attacked us, if I hadn't been poisoned, the three of us would have been gnawed into three skeletons by his poisonous snakes." ”
Yi Yi frowned, "There are very few people who are proficient in snake control even in my Eagle Valley, and we didn't see anyone who would do this when we exterminated the Dark Death Pavilion, where did that person come from?"
Su Ting and Mei Xiao were also vigilant about this, although they suspected that it was someone from the Dark Death Pavilion, but at this time, the Dark Death Pavilion had already been destroyed, and no one could prove that the person was from the Dark Death Pavilion, so they could only look for clues in the pile of documents they left.
These things were temporarily put aside, and now the main event is Wuyang's mountain competition, Yi Yi looked at it here with great interest, looked there, she found that although the landscape of Wuyang Hall is completely different from the Dian Eagle Valley, it has a tall and steep beauty, the maple trees of a mountain are illuminated by the morning sun, which is very dazzling, in Yi Yi's opinion, the scenery of Wuyang in the early morning can be called a must, and it is indeed worthy of the name.
Wuyang Palace's mountain competition has arrived again, this time there are many acquaintances of Mei Xiao, Xuanfeng, Bai Yun, Qing Yang, and Shen Wanfeng have all signed up for this competition. Mei Xiao took Yi Yi to sit on the audience platform built by Luo Yi's people, looking at the people who participated in the big competition below, and sighed with some emotion, a year ago, he was still a little disciple who participated in the big competition below, and now he also has his own little name in the rivers and lakes.
After waiting for a while, Luo Yi and Su Ting appeared together on the rostrum specially built for them, and the corners of Luo Yi's mouth seemed to have a hint of "evil smile", yes, it was a wicked smile, and even Su Ting, who was standing behind Luo Yi, had a hint of a playful smile on his face.
Luo Yi loudly announced to everyone in the audience, "There is only one person in the competition this time!"
Luo Yi became serious and explained to the disciples below who were about to participate in the big competition, "Recently, I and a few elders have found that there is a fear of difficulties among the disciples of Wuyang.
Luo Yi's loud voice reverberated several times in the valley of Wuyang Palace, hitting the ears of the disciples who were about to participate in the big competition, like Hong Zhong Dalu, making their hearts feel a strong sense of guilt, yes, when did they become like this? Wuyang disciples should be brave and diligent, and they must not be afraid like this!
In this way, the disciples could only accept the harsh conditions of this big competition, and they went on to compete hard.
Almost all the disciples who signed up showed disappointed but fighting spirit, they were also the disciples selected by Wuyang Palace, they were also the best among their peers back then, and they also had their own pride, how could they allow themselves to be afraid of others?
Luo Yi looked at the eyes of the disciples below with satisfaction, and nodded, his goal has been achieved, these little rabbit cubs don't dare to relax and be afraid recently.
But there were two disciples who participated in the big competition did not show a disappointed look, one of them was Qing Yang, his eyes showed an unparalleled fighting spirit, in his opinion, the loss to Yang Xian was just a momentary carelessness, not a lack of ability, he was confident that he would get the first place in this big competition.
The other is Xuan Feng, Xuan Feng's personality is tranquil, and his ideal is just to live a plain life. He doesn't care if he can get the first place in Dabi, and Luo Yi has stopped forcing him recently, letting him do what he wants, so he is just here to complete a task that must be completed.
Luo Yi looked at the Wuyang disciples below who had rekindled their fighting spirit and smiled, and quietly wished in his heart, "Work hard!
