Chapter 10: Brothers Meet
After this incident, Xiao Ling was extremely disappointed in his heart. In the end, he felt that he was not worthy to go to Yixu, so he buried himself in the library every day and continued to study the formation path to pass the time.
One day, Long Ding returned from outside. Quickly ran to the library to find Xiao Ling. Long Ding looked like a dusty man, and his eyes were full of surprise and excitement. Grabbing Xiao Ling's shirt with one hand, he looked left and right at Xiao Ling. Then he grabbed the array diagram that Xiao Ling was looking at in his hand. Long Ding said to himself: "Stinky boy, this is a five-element array diagram, you have been able to study it." I heard that you walked out of the Phantom Killing Array, and I still don't believe it. You're a genius. My old dragon has got a piece of treasure. In one year, it is really •••••• to be able to study the formation path to this point."
Long Ding's almost crazy movements and words made Xiao Ling a little confused. Xiao Ling originally thought that Long Ding would not agree with his research on the formation path, so he had been silently deducing the formation path by himself all along. No, this dragon must have been so happy after knowing this.
It turned out that Long Ding came back from traveling abroad and arrived at Chaoyang Palace first. saw Rumei, and Rumei learned from her disciple about Xiao Ling's arrival at Hou Liu Yixu outside Chaoyang Palace. I always thought that this Long Ding deliberately let Xiao Ling come out to find Liu Yixu. Seeing Long Ding, Rumei trained Long Ding. blamed him for not managing Xiao Ling well, and also instigated Xiao Ling to mess around and disturb her disciple's cultivation.
Long Ding listened to Rumei's blame inexplicably at first. After hearing what had happened, the dragon must have been confused at first. I thought that with the phantom killing array in my way, how could this Xiao Ling come to Chaoyang Palace. Then I thought that Xiao Ling was a strange elf on weekdays, and he was concentrating on staying in the library every day, and he was concentrating on studying the formation path. If he really relied on his self-education to comprehend the Phantom Killing Array, how remarkable it would be.
Long Ding has been obsessed with the formation path all his life, and has not yet received a suitable disciple. The disciples recruited by the Danxia Sect in the past dynasties were all obsessed with the path of cultivation, and few people who were willing to deduce the formation path appeared. Long Ding thought that if it was really as he thought, then this Xiao Ling would be a rare formation wizard. In addition, if he really studies the secrets of the hidden dantian, Xiao Ling will definitely become an immortal figure.
The more Long Ding thought about it, the happier he became. Rumei was blaming Long Ding vigorously, but this Long Ding was getting more and more excited when he listened, and after apologizing to Rumei with a smile, he quickly ran out of Chaoyang Palace and returned to the library to find Xiao Ling. After seeing the five-element array diagram in Xiao Ling's hand, everything was clear in his heart. The five-element array was a very powerful and complex array left by the Danxia Patriarch back then. It was difficult for non-formation experts to see through at all, and Xiao Ling's concentrated appearance had already told Long Ding the information that he would become a formation master.
At this point, Xiao Ling no longer concealed it, and told Long Ding about the situation that he had studied the formation path in the library for nearly a year and aimed to get out of the phantom killing array. It's just that the two paragraphs of missing Yi Xu in my heart and the old man who sent the magic flute are hidden.
This Long Ding heard that Xiao Ling had actually seen through the Phantom Killing Array, although he had been mentally prepared, but when he heard Xiao Ling himself say it to confirm it, he was still so shocked that he opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it. smiled and constantly praised Xiao Ling as a Dao wizard. Hearing Xiao Ling's numbness, there was a fluttering feeling in his heart.
During this period, Long Ding repeatedly proposed to accept Xiao Ling as a registered disciple, but Xiao Ling always shirked the ideal that he could not practice martial arts, and his ambition was to take the imperial examination high school and benefit the people. There are not as many books as Xiao Ling that this dragon reads, and the truth can't talk about Xiao Ling. I had no choice but to let go of the idea of accepting Xiao Ling as a disciple first. But he had already regarded Xiao Ling as his disciple in his heart, and he told Xiao Ling some of his formation insights every day, which benefited Xiao Ling a lot. even took Xiao Ling to the field to try out the formation, and constantly set up the formation to break the formation, so that Xiao Ling could improve the realm of the formation from it.
It's just that Xiao Ling doesn't know martial arts, and often knows how to break the formation, but he can't jump over some obstacles without light skills, and he can't use internal force to destroy the formation, so Xiao Ling can only dictate how to break the formation. The same is true for the formation. Despite this, Xiao Ling's enthusiasm for the formation method is still unabated, and he can't help but ask Long Ding whenever he has any questions. As the past few months have passed, Xiao Ling's comprehension of the formation has become more and more profound.
On this day, Xiao Ling presided over the work of the library as usual. I was carefully studying a formation book, and suddenly heard a noisy voice outside. When he walked outside, he saw a group of sixth-generation disciples forming a team in the courtyard. As soon as Xiao Ling walked outside, a person came out of the crowd and ran to Xiao Ling, it was Lu Ping. The two brothers were very happy to see each other.
It turned out that Lu Ping and his party had a one-year assessment period and a few months of training. He has officially become a disciple of Danxia, and after introductory learning, he is now taught the foundation of Chen Fa by Wu Song, a disciple of six generations. Wu Song led the disciples to the library and taught everyone the passage to enter and exit the library. And instructed everyone about the rules of the library cabinet.
The introductory kung fu and mental methods of the disciples of the Danxia sect were all taught by the older senior brothers. After each disciple is on the right track, they will be classified into the previous generation according to their qualifications and hobbies and teach more advanced kung fu.
Xiao Ling and Lu Ping have been separated for a year, and when they meet, they talk to each other about the scene of the past year, and they both feel that there are endless words. By dusk, the six generations of disciples had gone back. This Lu Ping asked Wu Song for leave, but he planned to stay in this library for one night.
The Danxia faction has very strict rules in the outer door, and strictly disciplines the behavior of its disciples. However, the internal management is relatively loose, and the disciples' practice is also to let them cultivate by themselves, and pay attention to free development. The main figures also give special instruction only to the most outstanding disciples.
Therefore, after the new disciples get started, after the senior brother has taught the basic mental methods and kung fu, they will all practice separately. It's just that a competition meeting is organized every year, presided over by five generations of disciples, so that talents can be selected from among the new disciples. On weekdays, all the disciples practice independently, and they can come and go freely to the library pavilion, so no one will stop Lu Ping from staying in the library pavilion.
That night, the two brothers asked the deaf and dumb second uncle for wine and fried a few side dishes. The two brothers drank in Xiao Ling's small house. Xiao Ling's stomach heated up after a few glasses of wine, thinking of the two months he spent with Liu Yixu in the past year, and the bitterness of lovesickness during this time. was bitter for a while, and immediately told Lu Ping.
These two brothers have been together since childhood, and they have no secrets from each other, and their minds are always connected on weekdays. Listening to Xiao Ling's bitterness like this, Lu Ping also felt uncomfortable in his heart.
However, Lu Ping is a year older after all, and he is a bystander. The matter between Yu Xiao Ling and Liu Yixu can be seen more clearly. Knowing that this Xiao Ling could not rest his internal strength due to physical reasons, and Liu Yixu was one of the outstanding disciples of the Danxia Sect, in such a situation, the communication between the two would definitely be blocked by the master.
After listening to Xiao Ling's bitter complaint, Lu Ping felt very uncomfortable in his heart: "Brother Ling, there may be many reasons why this Liu Yixu didn't come to see you. Now that you and I are both small and have no career to celebrate, we should try to do more towards our goals. You shouldn't be so obsessed either. ”
Xiao Ling still looked sad: "I can't even practice internal strength, and I am a waste in front of you." What else is there to talk about?"
Lu Ping's face turned straight: "Brother Ling, this is your mistake." Men are ambitious in all directions, and it is not only martial arts that can achieve careers. Throughout the ages, how many heroes have not been able to do martial arts. Aren't they all the same Top Gun and do something vigorous? Don't you keep emphasizing that you want to be the top student in the imperial examination? Now that the three-year imperial examination is very close, you should work hard to make a name for yourself. ”
Xiao Ling was ashamed when he heard this: "What the eldest brother said is that men have ambitions in all directions and should not indulge in their children's private affairs. From this day forward, it's time for me to review the books of the sages. Heh! Fish him out for fame. At that time, you will not be looked down upon. ”
Lu Ping saw that Xiao Ling was in a good mood, so he hurriedly said: "This is very good, in the future, I will often come to this library pavilion." You read your sage books by yourself, but I need to study those martial arts and sword books in this library. ”
Then the two brothers took their glasses and drank again. So there was nothing to say all night. Since that day, Lu Ping has often come to this library pavilion, while concentrating on studying the martial arts charts in the library pavilion, and on the other hand, the two brothers encourage each other.
But he said that this Xiao Ling has a good memory and a high level of understanding. On weekdays, when I see Lu Ping practicing martial arts according to the map, there are often incomprehensible points. So Xiao Ling stepped forward to look at the atlas, and he could often point out the essence.
In this way, every time Lu Ping practiced a kind of kung fu, Xiao Ling had to seriously help study it, so that Lu Ping spent a lot less effort studying martial arts. Xiao Ling himself also wrote down a lot of subtleties of martial arts, but because he didn't have true qi in his body, he couldn't do many martial arts moves, but this Xiao Ling saw that Lu Ping was proficient, and he was very happy in his heart, and he was still happy to help Lu Ping study all kinds of kung fu.
This library has a lot of collections, and the Danxiamen people of the past dynasties have spent a lot of effort to collect the more basic martial arts of almost all sects. Occasionally, there are books that record the stunts of certain sects, but they are not described in detail in the essence, so it is also the biggest treasure trove for beginners.
