Chapter 7: Apprenticeship

Suddenly, he felt that the air mass in the dantian was slowly turning, and a trace of energy flowed to the limbs, and he hurriedly stopped the hand that was holding the jade plate.

He sat up and started the exercises, the air mass in the dantian rotated rapidly, a warm current flowed through his limbs, and the cells of his body were like dry seedlings meeting rain and dew, greedily absorbing them.

Jiang Chen, who was sitting, suddenly opened his eyes, and a fine light shot out of his eyes, and he felt that his whole body was filled with infinite power.

He stood up and looked up, the few people in front of him were not far from the top of the mountain, and the two-hour deadline was approaching, he squinted his eyes, and burst out with all his strength to climb up to the top of the mountain, he didn't care about the scars on his body like crazy, no matter the pain, he only had one belief, that is, to climb to the top of the mountain as soon as possible.

At this time, there were already seven people who had reached the top of the mountain, and Liu Yue was among them, when the time came, Elder Feng Lan's red clothes fluttered, and she said: "The exam is over, the number of passers, seven ......", "people" Before she could say anything, suddenly a figure rushed up and fell to the ground with a "plop".

Everyone looked at Jiang Chen on the ground in surprise, and Elder Feng Lan also looked at Jiang Chen, who was covered in blood and bruises on the ground, and said, "The exam is over, the number of people who have passed, eight." ”

Jiang Chen heard Elder Feng Lan's announcement and knew that he had passed the exam, he slowly closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Jiang Chen woke up, it was already the next morning, he recalled yesterday's exam, and the scenes appeared clearly in front of him, he was about to get up, just turned around, the pain in his whole body came instantly, he knew that yesterday's injury was very serious, he gritted his teeth and sat up, and was about to get out of bed, Huang Yue pushed open the door and walked in.

"Why are you up, lie down, you were seriously injured yesterday, and you didn't wake up, but Elder Feng sent someone to carry you back. ”

"Although the injuries are very serious, they are all skin injuries, and it will be fine to rest for two days. ”

"You tried too hard yesterday, but you were really good, and you were able to pass the exam. Huang Yue said with an approving look.

Huang Yue took out a jade bottle and handed it to Jiang Chen, and said, "This bottle of recovery pill has some effect on healing, you can take it, you will report to the Sword Pavilion in three days, and I will lead you over when the time comes." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Huang. Jiang Chen thanked.

After Huang Yue left, Jiang Chen sat on the bed, poured out a pill and put it in his mouth, and then began to run the exercises, the true qi at the dantian turned into a warm current and ran in the body, running the exercises over and over again, and the bones and muscles of the body were also being baptized over and over again.

His wound was also slowly healing, and he continued to take one after feeling the effect of the medicine, and he didn't know how long it had been running, but he felt his body and air merge together, and he entered a wonderful state again.

The trace of true qi in the air quickly gathered towards Jiang Chen's body, and then merged into the running true qi, and this state continued until Jiang Chen's body reached saturation before stopping, and finally gathered at the dantian, the air mass increased significantly, and the running line was also expanded a little more than before, and the true qi was even stronger.

The "Innate Exercises" have reached the first and second levels.

Breaking through again after a few days, the main reason is that in the process of taking this exam, his body reached the limit and stimulated his inner potential, otherwise it would be impossible to break through continuously in such a short time.

After resting for two days, Jiang Chen's injury was no longer in serious condition, and on the third day, Huang Yue led him to the "Flying Sword Pavilion" to report, this was the first time he stepped into the door of the "Flying Sword Pavilion", and the last time he signed up was only in a side hall on the east side of the square.

Walking to the door, what caught my eye was a tall and majestic gate, and there was a statue of an ancient mythical beast of white marble on both sides of the door, and the statue was lifelike, as if it could come back to life at any time.

Passing through the gate, there is a spacious courtyard with a lake in the middle of the yard, the water of which is crystal clear, and from time to time small fish swim up and bubble a few small bubbles.

There is a rockery in the middle of the lake, and the water on the rockery flows down "whoosh" and splashes cheerfully in the lake.

The huge palace sits on high steps, like a overlord who looks down on the world, and it is magnificent.

Skirting the lake to the front of the steps, there were two seventeen or eighteen-year-old women standing with long swords, and beside them stood individuals who had passed the exam the previous day.

When the two women saw Huang Yue coming, they held their swords in both hands and bowed their heads and said, "I've seen Huang Lao."

Huang Yue waved his hand and said, "Jiang Chen, I've seen two senior sisters, they are your life-saving benefactors." ”

Hearing his life-saving benefactor, Jiang Chen hurriedly bent down and saluted, saying, "Jiang Chen has seen two senior sisters, thank you senior sister for your life-saving grace." ”

"Hey, didn't you come back from the top of the West Mountain that day, why are you the latest to come every time!" it was Liu Yue who spoke, and she said in a mocking tone.

Jiang Chen glanced at her and ignored her.

Huang Yue said: "Jiang Chen, it's not too early, you follow Senior Sister to see Elder Feng, I'm going back, I have to work hard, I can come to the medicine garden when I have time in the future." ”

"I'll definitely go back to see you when I have time in the future. Jiang Chen said, bending down and respectfully saluting Huang Yue.

Looking at the back of Huang Lao's departure, Jiang Chen was a little stunned, thinking back on the road he had traveled for more than a year, there were bitterness and surprises, hard work and gains, he was rescued from the brink of death from family changes to sending picture scrolls, and now he has become a disciple of the sect.

He knew that he could pass the exam without Huang Lao's help, his persistence, and the "Sword Technique" exercises.

"Senior Brother Jiang, let's go, Elder Feng is waiting. A loud voice interrupted Jiang Chen's thoughts, and he said yes and followed towards the palace.

Walking into the main hall, this place is not only wide, but also very gorgeous, it can really be described as carved beams and paintings, golden and brilliant.

Directly in front of the hall was a gold-lacquered throne, and several beautifully carved chairs were placed in rows on the left and right sides, only Elder Feng was sitting, and when he saw them coming in, he stood up from one of the chairs.

"You're all here. She turned to look at the eight who had passed the exam with a gentle smile on her face.

Now I would like to announce the distribution of new disciples this year:

"Tao Zheng is a disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall, Zou Yanping and Huang Jianfeng are disciples of the Imperial Sword Hall, Yu Fei is a disciple of the Alchemy Hall, Zhang Ren is a disciple of the Sword Array Hall, Liu Yue and Bai Yujie are the disciples of the Ziyun Hall, and Jiang Chen is a disciple of the Cuifeng Hall."

"From today onwards, you are the official disciples of my Sword Pavilion, and someone will take you to meet your master in a while. With that, Elder Feng turned around and walked out the door.

Jiang Chen followed her out of the door of the main hall.

There were a few people standing under the stone steps at the entrance of the main hall, and they saw Elder Feng and a few people clasping their fists and saluting.

Elder Feng nodded slightly and said, "Liu Yue and Bai Yujie come with me." After saying that, he took the two girls and wanted to walk forward.

"The new disciple of the Alchemy Hall comes with me"

"The new disciple of the Imperial Sword Hall come with me"

“......”

A few people at the steps shouted for their newly assigned disciples.

After a while, the people around Jiang Chen followed the people who led them, and he was the only one left standing there.

"Why don't you see the person who picked me up," Jiang Chen muttered in his heart.

At this moment, a little fat man ran over, and he panted and said, "You are Senior Brother Jiang Chen, right?"

Jiang Chen nodded and said, "I am." ”

"That's... Senior Brother Jiang, come with me" As he spoke, the little fat man beckoned to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen followed behind the little fat man, and the little fat man said, "Senior Brother Jiang, my name is Fang Pingping, I will probably tell you about the situation in our Cuifeng Hall." ”

"Then thank you, Senior Brother Fang. Jiang Chen said.

When the little fat man heard someone call him senior brother, he was happy all of a sudden, and he felt that he had grown up a lot.

You must know that he is the youngest in Cuifeng Hall since he joined the Sword Pavilion the year before last, and it has been almost three years since he finally became a senior brother, can he not be happy.

"Senior Brother Jiang, then let me tell you, our Cuifeng Hall Elder, that is, our master is Elder Lin, his name is Lin Changfeng, and he is a strong man at the level of the Sword King. ”

"We have a total of seven disciples in Cuifeng Hall, all of whom are male disciples......

The little fat man Fang Pingping took Jiang Chen to walk while talking, turning around a bamboo forest, walking across a small bridge, and a neat row of houses in front of him was located on the edge of a bamboo forest.

Walked to the front of a big house in the middle, only to see a wooden plaque at the door, on which were written three big characters, "Cuifeng Hall" three big characters, the gesture is vigorous and powerful, and the momentum is extraordinary.

Walking into the "Cuifeng Hall", there was a body sitting in the middle, in his forties, with a square face, thick eyebrows, but a little slender eyes, and three teenagers standing on the left and right.

Seeing the little fat man and Jiang Chen walking in, he looked up at Jiang Chen and said: "I am Lin Changfeng, the elder of Cuifeng Hall, the situation of Cuifeng Hall must have been told to you by Fang Pingping, I will not repeat it here, plus you, our Cuifeng Hall is eight disciples, although we are the weakest faction of the Sword Pavilion, but as long as you cultivate hard and can reach the Sword King level before the age of twenty, you will all have a good future." ”

"Alright, let's bow to the teacher. Lin Changfeng said.

Seeing that Jiang Chen didn't move, the little fat man whispered, "Hurry up and salute." ”

Jiang Chen hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed three times, and said, "Jiang Chen greets the master." ”

"Okay, get up. Lin Changfeng said.

"In the future, in addition to homework, you will follow your Senior Brother Fang to be in charge of the stove room. Lin Changfeng looked at Jiang Chen and Fang Pingping and said.

"Yes, master," Jiang Chen said.

"Yes..."Fang Pingping said with some reluctance in his long voice, he has been in charge of the stove room for almost three years, thinking that this time the junior brother came, he would never let him take care of the stove room again.

The little fat man led Jiang Chen to a room and said, "You will live here in the future, next door is my room, you clean up the room first, rest for a while, go to the stove room in the afternoon to cook with me, I will go to take a nap first." With that, he walked out of the room.

Jiang Chen looked at the room, the room was very clean, and there was a brand new set of bedding on a wooden bed, which should have been issued by the Sword Pavilion for new students.

In the afternoon, Jiang Chen came to the door of the stove room, a smell of rice came to his nose, the little fat man Fang Pingping had already started cooking, a huge wok was turning lightly in his hand, and the golden chicken in the pot kept tumbling.

Seeing Jiang Chen coming recently, he said, "You add more firewood." The little fat man squinted at Jiang Chen and said.

After frying the chicken, the little fat man picked up a piece from the pot, blew it and put it in his mouth, and then he picked up another piece and said, "Senior brother, try the craftsmanship of senior brother." ”

Jiang Chen took the golden chicken nuggets, blew them and put them in his mouth, the entrance was very tender, and the taste was very refreshing.

Looking at Jiang Chen's eating appearance, the little fat man asked proudly, "What's the matter?"

"Well, it's delicious. Jiang Chen nodded and said.

The little fat man's cooking speed is really fast, and he will make eight dishes in a while, with meat and vegetables, the taste is excellent, and each dish is full of color, flavor, and flavor.

After dinner, Elder Lin said: "Li Mu, from tomorrow I will go to the back mountain to practice for a period of time, and you will be responsible for teaching Jiang Chen the introductory swordsmanship and teaching the introductory exercises, and in half a year it will be the annual martial arts competition of the Sword Pavilion, you must practice diligently and achieve good results in order to obtain the rich cultivation resources of the Sword Pavilion." ”
