"Senior brother, what are we going to do this time?" Teleported out from the Sword Finger Peak, Bai Ya finally couldn't help but ask.

"There is a Xiaole town in the northwest of Qingcheng Luan Mountain, and a little strange thing has happened in the town these days, causing the townspeople to panic and flee their hometowns one after another. The county magistrate of Jiangcheng County, which governs Xiaole Town, was unable to do so, so in addition to reporting to the imperial court, he also asked for help from the Taoist temple in the mountains......"

Xuan Ji said calmly while hurrying, "This matter was assigned to Qingduguan by the sect, and then it was taken over by the master, so there is a training task that I am waiting for this time." ”

"What's weird?" asked White Cliff curiously.

"I heard that there is a murderous mansion in the town!" Thinking of the information given by Liu Yu, Xuan Ji couldn't help but have a strange look on his face.

The murderous house, this Nima is also under the control of the warrior...... Shouldn't you find a monk and Taoist priest to do it? Bai Ya's face was expressionless, but he felt extremely tired in his heart.

But when you think about it...... What's the matter, aren't he and Xuan Ji Taoist children?

"Senior brother, this murderous mansion ...... But are there ghosts?" asked White Cliff hesitantly.

"I don't know about this, maybe there are other reasons, right?" Xuan Ji thought for a while, and then replied, "I haven't dealt with such things before, anyway, I'll know when I get there." ”

Bai Ya couldn't help but shudder, this world is not the previous life, but there are really demons and monsters, not all myths and legends.

"Senior brother, does martial arts also have an effect on ghosts?"

"I don't know, the master won't harm us anyway. Oh, by the way, don't you still have an evil ring to ward off evil spirits?" Xuan Ji suddenly remembered something, and slapped his left palm with his right fist, "No wonder the master will give you this, the original intention is here!"

Your sister, can I return it now!" Bai Ya looked at the bronze ring on his finger without tears.

"Senior Brother, are we teleporting directly to Xiao Le Town?" Bai Ya asked cautiously.

"No, let's go to Jiangcheng County to inquire first, it is close to Xiaole Town, the people should have heard a lot of rumors, and it is estimated that they can still find the townspeople who originally belonged to Xiaole Town. ”

Xuan Ji shook his head and said, "When the investigation is almost done, let's go to Xiao Le Town again." Also, I forgot to tell you that you may meet other colleagues this time, so you talk less and look more, and I will take care of the communication matters. ”

"Oh!" Bai Ya nodded, but he was a little unimpressed.

Don't look at him as a young man, he did marketing work in his previous life, and his social entertainment may not be worse than Xuan Ji, a Qingcheng warrior who stays in the mountains all year round.

"By the way, has your kung fu reached the stage of internal qi release?"

Xuan Ji hadn't seen Bai Ya compete with anyone recently, and he wasn't too clear about his martial arts progress.

"Not yet, the master is right, I won't be able to achieve a breakthrough until at least the beginning of next summer, and there are still four months to go!" Thinking of this, Bai Ya was depressed.

To tell the truth, Liu Yu is indeed a little capable in teaching, no wonder he will be pulled out by Qingdu Guan to teach martial artists.

After he recruited the current batch of martial disciples, it took about three months for everyone to correct their bad habits in cultivation. Then they began to sort out what they had learned, discarding the unreasonable martial arts, and the essence of the martial arts that suited each person's temperament, and systematized them.

In this way, every martial artist can clearly see the martial path they should take.

In addition to not reminding the mind, Liu Yu has done almost everything that a teacher should do.

During this time, there were already martial artists who began to learn new martial arts, and a few of them who were half-step, only after more than three months at the Sword Finger Peak, they felt that the bottleneck of artistic conception had been loosened.

However, Bai Ya is different, this is not to say that his martial arts entry is not fast, on the contrary, his entry is one of the fastest among this group of new martial artists. But there are two aspects that doomed him to lag behind others in learning new martial arts.

One is that his foundation is poor, the batch of martial apprentices recruited by Liu Yu are all elites, except for a few half-step people, everyone else has reached the level of internal qi and external release, so as soon as the bad habits of cultivation are corrected, they can learn new martial arts.

The second is that Baiya's cultivation starting point is different from that of other martial artists, look at the martial arts he is mainly practicing now, the mixed yuan iron cloth shirt, the King Kong big mudra, even the tiger-shaped fist in the dragon and tiger double form, it also comes from Buddhism.

Buddhist martial arts start with body refining, while Daomen martial arts start with qi refining.

Qingdu Guan is the Taoist gate of the Eight Classics, and the authentic exercises handed down are all based on qi refining, and the martial arts at the beginning of the qi realm can only be cultivated if the internal qi is released.

Among the martial arts that Bai Ya is currently cultivating, in fact, the Five Elements Fist is the internal foundation used by the Daomen to refine the body, and the others, including the Iron Finger Skill, are all external paths.

Therefore, when Bai Ya competed, he was able to win with hard skills and foreign martial arts, but he had to lag behind others in learning new martial arts.

"Hehe, the master once mentioned to me that every time he sees you, he wants to rebuild you. Except for the Five Elements Fist, all the other martial arts of the whole body have been washed away, and there is no need to leave even the mixed Yuan Gong and the dragon and tiger double form. ”

Xuan Ji snickered and said, "Actually, you don't know, our master has a habit of cleanliness, and when he sees you, it's like seeing a jar mixed with all kinds of martial arts, if you don't wash it, he will feel uncomfortable!"

"There's nothing wrong with Buddhism's body refining kung fu. Bai Ya smiled bitterly, "I think it's quite suitable for me, let me practice those qi refining martial arts that just rely on comprehension, and I really don't necessarily have the current achievements." ”

That's why the master pinched his nose and endured it. Xuan Ji said with a smile, "I also helped you pick a broken pulse and amputation finger." ”

"Fortunately, I entered the master's door, if I meet the outside world, with the difference in temperament between me and the master, I am afraid that we will be opposed!" Bai Ya said sneeringly.

In fact, he didn't think that he really said it, in Meng Min's dream, he and Liu Yu were not rivals.

"The road of martial arts is too difficult, and taking a step back is the edge of the cliff. Bai Ya said with a little emotion, "At the beginning, there were tens of thousands of martial artists who took the Qingcheng exam with me, but I don't know how many people still insist on practicing martial arts. ”

"Hehe, I sighed at a young age, if you let you reach my stage, wouldn't you have to be worried. Xuan Ji couldn't help but wonder, "I have been in Qingcheng for nearly 30 years, and there are many senior brothers who are personally sent down the mountain every year to ......."

"Oh, Senior Brother, what will these artistic conception martial artists do after they go down the mountain?" Bai Ya came back to his senses and asked with some curiosity.

"The people of Qingchengmen who don't want to stay in the mountains anymore will have two choices!" Xuan Ji said indifferently, "One is to find a way out by yourself, go down the mountain to be a martial arts instructor, a dart player, a yamen catches fast, and those who are good at kung fu can recommend themselves to enter the army and become a military attaché." Although these people will not make any further progress in martial arts, they will have a safe life, and it is good to be a rich man.

Another option is to leave their fate to the sect, and Qingcheng will help them arrange a demon hunting team in the wilderness domain, or a secret agent assassination organization in the imperial court, and be a bounty hunter. They can gain a trace of the potential through life-and-death fighting, as well as an innate opportunity......"

"Do they still have the potential to enter the situation and the innate hope?" Bai Ya asked curiously, raising his eyebrows.

"Of course, the heavens will not cut us off, and everyone will have the last glimmer of hope. Just like the artistic conception warriors in the demon hunting team, there are many strange things in the wilderness and barbaric domain, especially the bones of some monsters and demon gods. If they can get their hands on it, with the demonic powers on the strange bones, they can enter the potential realm, and even innately it will no longer be delusional. ”

Xuan Ji said calmly, "It's just that this road is more rugged and difficult to walk, the vast majority of people will die in the end, and only a very few lucky people can achieve their wishes." Martial artists who can really enter the situation and innate in Qingcheng are rare, and they are all talented, just like our masters. ”

"These artistic conceptions haven't even learned the complete breathing technique, I'm just afraid of ......" Hearing what Xuan Ji said, Bai Ya couldn't help but sigh.

"Hehe, who said it, the artistic conception of these two choices is different. Xuan Ji said with a smile, "The former kind of martial artists only want to live in peace, and Qingcheng will naturally not teach them the complete breathing technique." And the latter kind of martial artists can get some Qingcheng secret ......"

"Oh, isn't Qingcheng afraid that if they pass on their martial arts, they will be leaked to the rivers and lakes?" Bai Ya couldn't help but wonder.

"No, if you are willing to join the demon hunting team, or the Qingcheng martial artist of the imperial court secret agent assassination organization, the heart of martial arts is as firm as iron. Most of these people, like me, have been in Qingcheng for more than five terms, and regard Qingcheng as a second home, and no one will betray Qingcheng. Xuan Ji explained with a smile.

Bai Ya is right to think about it, Qingcheng selects apprentices every three years, and five is fifteen years.

When these warriors first entered Qingcheng, the youngest was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and the eldest was only in his early twenties. After staying in Qingcheng for more than fifteen years, his heart has long been understood by Qingcheng, and Qingcheng is regarded as his home.

These people are the most determined disciples of Qingcheng, where will they betray Qingcheng.

"What's more, when Qingcheng teaches them the secret arts, they will basically make them make a heavy oath that they will not pass it on, and even their wives and children will not teach them, and if they do, they will be abolished by the strong men of Qingcheng. ”

Xuan Ji said with a light smile, "Qingcheng is a martial arts sect after all, and he will not show mercy to traitors. If they want their juniors to learn martial arts, they can naturally let their juniors come to Qingcheng to participate in the martial arts test. ”

Bai Ya suddenly realized that if the descendants of these artistic conception martial artists are talented, then they only need to lay a good physical foundation to participate in the martial arts test. If they don't have the confidence to pass the martial arts test, there is no need to teach them the secret transmission of Qingcheng, but it will harm them.

The two walked all the way and chatted all the way, but Bai Ya knew a lot of Qingcheng secrets.

This is also because he usually doesn't deal with people on the mountain, and when he is replaced by other new martial artists, he has long heard from those veteran martial artists.

"Well, there is Jiangcheng County ahead, let's find an inn to live in first, and then go to the street to inquire about Xiao Le Town. Xuan Ji raised his head and pointed to the city gate in front of him and said.

"Senior brother, why don't you go directly to the county magistrate of Jiangcheng County, he should know more about the situation in Xiao Le Town, right?" Bai Ya asked strangely.

"We can't look for him, at least until we have other news channels, we can't go to the court officials!" Xuan Ji said with a wry smile, "Although we are not the innate powerhouses of the sect, we still have to avoid suspicion." Otherwise, it will be a truth to other colleagues, saying that the Qingcheng faction controls the local yamen. ”

"Don't make such a fuss!" Bai Ya was surprised.

"Hehe, there is also a dirt between the Immortal Martial Sects, you really think everyone is in harmony!" Xuan Ji shook his head and sighed.
