In the small courtyard of Wu Ming. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Wu Ming and Xia Bingyun were sitting on both sides of the stone table, playing chess, and there were two maids next to them, one singing softly to an unknown tune, and the other carrying a teapot, pouring tea for the two of them.

Wu Ming took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Bingyun, your chess skills have regressed, I remember that when we played chess before, I lost to you, but now, we played a few games, and none of you won." ”

Xia Bingyun gently put down a chess piece, pursed his mouth slightly, and said, "How can I regress, it's because you are making too fast progress!

"Haha!" Wu Ming burst out laughing, heartily.

......

Wu Ming's heart seemed to be divided into several pieces, one was really immersed in the ease and cheerfulness of the moment, one was observing and feeling on the side, and the other was his automatic defense system, wanting to suppress his enjoyment at the moment.

As old habits come back, the cheerfulness feels more and more real and real. At the same time, the automatic defense system has been eroded a lot, and its power is getting smaller and smaller, and the part of my heart that is responsible for observing and feeling is also deserting from time to time.

Wu Ming often felt in a trance, and he felt as if he was no longer one person, but had become three people.

It's hard to put into words.

......

Wu Ming was in the midst of a good time when he suddenly heard footsteps outside the door.

"Who is coming?" began when the family persuaded him for a while, but when they saw that he did not listen, they stopped admonishing him. In his small courtyard, few people came except for the subordinates he had assigned.

"Trainee Wu Ming!" the footsteps approached, and soon he saw a person standing outside his small courtyard, and this shout also sounded at the same time.

"Teacher Ding Xuan?" Wu Ming put down the chess pieces and got up to greet him, "Rare guest!"

Ding Xuan glanced at the chessboard on the table in surprise, and said, "You are so Yaxing! I haven't seen you in the fairy courtyard for a long time, I thought you were doing something important, it turned out that you were happy at home!"

Ding Xuan said this, but he secretly thought in his heart: "This Wu Ming, I really can't see through him more and more." Could it be that playing chess and drinking tea is also good for cultivation? ”

Wu Ming hurriedly gave up his seat and asked the maid to pour tea.

"Trainee Xia Bingyun is also here?" Ding Xuan sat down and said with a smile, "You are really a pair of golden boys and girls!"

Xia Bingyun shyly shouted "Teacher Ding Xuan", and then kept silent.

Wu Ming exchanged a few words with Ding Xuan, and then asked.

Ding Xuan said: "I am here, there are two things, one is about me, and the other is about you, guess what?"

Wu Ming was speechless, how could he guess this.

However, Ding Xuan can be so interested, and he can see that he is very happy at this time.

Wu Ming casually said a few answers, and as expected, they were all wrong.

Ding Xuan revealed the mystery at this time: "One thing about me, I have decided to leave the Longmen Immortal Academy, and when the dean finds a suitable teacher, I will leave?"

"The teacher is leaving?" Wu Ming's tone was filled with regret. Although in fact, he didn't care about Ding Xuan's departure, on the contrary, he still felt a sense of relief. When he was in the academy, this Ding Xuan was always pestering him to ask this and that, wanting to get the secret of improving his combat power, so that he would not get bored.

However, now that people are visiting you, you can't always say that they are happy to leave in front of them.

Wu Ming still understands this bit of sophistication.

"Yes, I'm leaving!" inadvertently, Ding Xuan showed his spirits, "I was born in a poor family, and my mother saved money for me to learn martial arts, so I have today's achievements." Now, my mother is old, and she has always hoped that I can get ahead, so I decided to create my own business in this Qingshui City! Let my mother and her old man see how good her son is!"

"Then I congratulate the teacher!" Wu Ming arched his hand, "If there is anything useful to my Wu family, just ask." ”

"Well, thank you! I also chatted with Ling Zun just now, and he wanted to come with me, but I didn't let him. I want to create my own business, and I will definitely rely on your Wu family in the future, and today I should worship the dock. ”

Wu Ming was thinking: "Create your own career?" In this Qingshui City, if you want to occupy a place, you must at least be an eighth-level martial artist, as for the seventh-level martial artist, there are many in Qingshui City, rather than doing it alone, it is better to follow others." ”

"Teacher, have you become an eighth-level martial artist?" Wu Ming asked.

"Eighth-level martial artist, that's not true," Even so, Ding Xuan still couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, "Although I didn't become an eighth-level martial artist, I have the combat power of an eighth-level martial artist." ”

Ding Xuan tried to keep his voice down as much as possible, trying to be humble, but his expression betrayed him.

"Oh, congratulations to the teacher!" Wu Ming didn't ask much, "The teacher just said, there is another thing about me, I don't know what it is?"

Hearing Wu Ming uncover it so gently, Ding Xuan was stunned, he thought that Wu Ming was going to ask how he had the combat power of an eighth-level martial artist. He had already thought of his rhetoric. But Wu Ming didn't ask, and he couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

However, it was only a little depressed, and he quickly got rid of it, after all, at this moment, he was very excited.

With the combat power of an eighth-level martial artist, he can finally occupy a place in this Clear Water City! And all of this is all thanks to Wu Ming's competition, which gave him inspiration, and he is a little grateful to Wu Ming.

"As for this other thing," Ding Xuan said, "That is, Pingbu Gate is going to my Longmen Immortal Courtyard to recruit people!"

"Oh, that's it, but what does it have to do with me?"

Ding Xuan was stunned again, he originally thought that Wu Ming would be very excited, after all, if you recruit people from Pingbu Gate to Longmen Immortal Courtyard, Wu Ming will have a chance.

He originally thought that Wu Ming would ask, Longmen Immortal Courtyard was originally waiting for others to come to the door to participate in the assessment, why did he take the initiative to go to Longmen Immortal Courtyard to recruit people.

He was ready to explain it to Wu Ming well.

However, Wu Ming didn't ask these two questions.

He even said, "What does this have to do with me?"

Ding Xuan thought to himself: "Are you really stupid, or are you pretending to be stupid?" At the moment, his interest decreased a lot, but he came here to make friends with the Wu family, or did he patiently tell Wu Ming in detail.

"What? There is a child named Liu Xiaoxi in the Liu family, who has just become a fourth-level martial artist at the age of sixteen? Pingbumen to Longmen Immortal Courtyard is actually specifically to recruit Liu Xiaoxi, and by the way, do you have any other seedlings?"

Wu Ming was stunned, he always knew that Liu Jiang had a younger brother, but he didn't expect this kid to be so rebellious.

Compared with this kid, he and Liu Jiang were called the two great gods of Qingshui City at the beginning, which was like a joke!

Looking at Wu Ming's shocked expression, Ding Xuan showed a satisfied smile. This Wu Ming is not indifferent to anything!

"But what does this have to do with me?" Wu Ming asked again.

"Huh?" Ding Xuan stammered, he didn't expect that at this time, Wu Ming would still be able to ask such a question.

"What does the teacher mean is to let me go to the assessment of Pingbumen?" Wu Ming said.

"Hmm-" Ding Xuan said in a long voice, "Each instructor can recommend a place, and I am going to recommend you." ”

"Thank you, teacher. Different from Ding Xuan's imagination, Wu Ming just said very plainly, and from this voice, it was difficult to hear how much thanks.

Ding Xuan couldn't help but feel depressed, he originally gave this to Wu Ming as a generous gift, who would have thought that Wu Ming would behave like this.

"But, teacher, with my waste material, can Pingbumen take a fancy to me?" Wu Ming said again.

"Wu Ming, don't be presumptuous!" Ding Xuan persuaded, trying to save him from this generous gift, "Although you are only a second-level martial artist, your combat power is comparable to that of a sixth-level martial artist, this is your advantage, and Pingbumen may look at you differently." ”

"But, teacher, what if I say that I don't want to enter the Pingbu Gate?"

"Huh?" Ding Xuan looked at Wu Ming like a monster, he was really stunned this time, "Don't you want to enter the Pingbu Gate? Wu Ming, are you stupid? After entering the Pingbu Gate, you can rise to the top and become a person from now on, even if you can't become an innate martial artist, you will come out of the Pingbu Gate in the future, because of the relationship between the Pingbu Gate, no one will dare to provoke you." Wu Ming, you say, why don't you want to enter the Pingbu Gate?"

It's one thing to get in or not, but he doesn't even want to get in, Ding Xuan really can't figure it out.

"Teacher, don't ask. Wu Ming didn't want to say more.

Ding Xuan stared at Wu Ming, and he could see that Wu Ming didn't seem to be a fake. He pondered in his heart: "Why doesn't Wu Ming want to enter the Pingbu Gate? The Wu family, although there is a ninth-level martial artist to guide him, but when he enters the Pingbu Gate, he is a teacher with an innate realm and even a Jindan realm, not to mention, the resources of the Pingbu Gate are not comparable to the Wu family. ”

"It's reasonable, he should want to enter the Pingbu Gate, if something goes wrong, he is a demon, he doesn't want to enter the Pingbu Gate, there must be a reason. Yes...... Know, their Wu family must have exercises comparable to those of the Pingbu Gate, although the old lady Wu stops at the ninth level of martial arts, maybe it is limited to qualifications, and the juniors of the Wu family may not be able to achieve greater achievements...... The reason why Wu Ming was reluctant to enter the Pingbu Gate was that he definitely wanted to practice his own exercises, and he was afraid that after entering the Pingbu Gate, he would be discovered. ”

"Oh my God!" Ding Xuan shouted in his heart, "I actually let me discover such a big secret! ”

Ding Xuan recalled the Wu family. Old lady Wu, who came to Qingshui City decades ago, no one knows his details. and Wu Ming, all kinds of performances are extremely weird. If the Wu family has a book of strange exercises, then everything can be explained.

Ding Xuan's heart was shocked, he decided, no one can tell this discovery, he has to firmly hug the Wu family's thighs, after all, with his own unique exercises, maybe he will become a behemoth at some point, of course, he also has another idea, that is...... If there's a right opportunity, trade that discovery for a bigger future!

Ding Xuan had figured it out in his heart, so he no longer persuaded Wu Ming, but at the same time secretly made up his mind, this time, the matter of recommending Wu Ming could not be changed, after all, Wu Ming could not enter the Pingbu Gate, and it had nothing to do with him, he just took this as a big gift, as long as he recommended it, even if this big gift was given, the Wu family would recognize it!

Ding Xuan had made up his mind, so he said, "Okay, since you don't want to say it, then I won't ask more." However, people are coming from Pingbu Gate, don't you want to go and see the excitement?"

"Lively? You can go and see it. "Wu Ming hasn't come into contact with anyone from Pingbumen yet, and he also wants to go and see it.

Ding Xuan chatted with Wu Ming for a while and left.

Wu Ming sat down and played chess with Xia Bingyun again, and the maid standing next to him also sang another tune.

Wu Ming didn't want to go to Pingbu Gate, of course, there was a reason for him.

Pingbu Gate, that is the Immortal Gate, entering there, may expose the old way in your mind.

This is what Wu Ming does not want to see.

Moreover, the method taught by the old Tao is unfathomable, and the Pingbu Gate may not be able to be more clever than the old way, although the things taught by the old way are not yet very powerful, but this is likely to be because it is still in the stage of laying the foundation, and it will work later.
