There is also a private school in Zhao Bai Village, and Mr. Bai is the one who has always wanted to send his son to Qingyuanmen, but Lin Xiuyuan has never been allowed to get close to it because of his reputation as a calamity star demon species. Hearing that there was a private school in Shangxuanzong, Lin Xiuyuan was puzzled and a little curious at the same time, "Senior Brother Wei, does the school here also teach people to read and write?"

"In addition to reading and literacy, the school will also teach some superficial introductory exercises. Wei Jin seemed to understand the doubts in his heart, and took the initiative to explain without waiting for him to ask, "Every time the newly recruited disciples are many children who are about the same age as you, some of them have gone to private schools, and some of them don't know a word. And because they leave home at a young age, they will inevitably miss their relatives, and if they eat and live with people of the same age, it can also alleviate their homesickness somewhat. In addition, if everyone gets along day and night, they can enhance the friendship of the same sect, and even if they are separated and do not cultivate at the same peak in the future, they can still maintain a close relationship with each other. Therefore, the establishment of a school has become a matter of killing three birds with one stone. When they have completed their coursework in the school and passed the final exam, they will be able to enter the inner gate and be assigned to the various peaks. ”

"I see. Senior Brother Wei, how long will I have to study in the school? If I can't pass the exam in the end, will I have to go back to Yizhou?" Lin Xiuyuan was a little worried about the final exam that Wei Jin said, and he didn't know that he actually concealed the most important role of the school and didn't explain it to him.

"The coursework in the school can be completed in only one or two years, after all, we only need to learn to read and write, and we don't plan to take the imperial examination. As for the final exam, Senior Brother Lin doesn't need to worry too much, I bet you will definitely pass!" Wei Jin said very firmly.

Lin Xiuyuan didn't understand why he was so confident in himself, remembering that when he was studying with Zhao Daxuan before, he was always angry by his stupid questions, so he couldn't help but feel a little weak, "Senior Brother Wei thinks too highly of me, I don't have that confidence in myself." ”

"Senior Brother Lin doesn't have to be presumptuous, you are smart, affectionate, and can distinguish between right and wrong, and it is very rare to have such a quality at such an age! Don't you see that my master likes you very much? If it weren't for the fact that your vein is not suitable for cultivating our Jiaqiang Peak's exercises, I think Master will definitely accept you as a disciple. ”

He had never been so praised before, and Lin Xiuyuan was so praised by Wei Jin's words that his face turned red, and he didn't know how to respond at all.

"Okay, Senior Brother Lin, now that the pulse has been confirmed, then let's go out and talk back, Master and Uncle are waiting for us. ”

When Wei Jin and Lin Xiuyuan returned to the apse, Chongqing Zhenren was blowing his beard and glaring at Qingyuan, and when he saw the two of them come out, his expression changed, and he immediately changed back to his previous appearance of kindness. "Wei Jin, has your Senior Brother Lin's pulse been confirmed, and what is the result?"

"Master, after being confirmed by the phase needle, the pulse of Senior Brother Xiuyuan is indeed the phase of fire, and it should be assigned to Yanshang Peak. Wei Jin replied.

Chongqing Zhenren stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Well, the fire phase is in the vein, this is very good! Xiuyuan was originally brought back by Senior Brother Li, and he has lived on Yanshang Peak for more than half a month, and he is about to worship under Senior Brother Li, this is the fate of the two of them! Xiuyuan, do you have any other thoughts about worshipping Yanshang Peak?"

"Xiuyuan has no other ideas, everything is arranged by the real person. Lin Xiuyuan had already been woken up by Wei Jin, so naturally he would no longer have any objections.

Seeing that he no longer insisted on worshipping Qingyuan as a teacher, Chongqing Zhenren nodded with satisfaction, and gave Wei Jin an approving look, this disciple is steady and reliable, if there is anything left to him, he has never had to worry.

"Since this is the case, Senior Brother Li will take Xiuyuan back to Yanshang Peak first, prepare for the various matters of apprenticeship, and after the apprenticeship ceremony, he will send Xiuyuan to the school as soon as possible. Chongqing Zhenren urged, for fear that the night would be long and dreamy, "Wei Jin, how long have the disciples of this phase of the school been enrolled?"

"It's been half a year, but Senior Brother Lin seems to be literate, and I think he should be able to keep up with the lessons taught by Mr. Coincidentally, we only recruit disciples once in 20 years in Xuanzong, and we only open once in 20 years, so we just let Senior Brother Xiuyuan catch up!" Wei Jin said with a smile.

"So this is fate, it's providence!" Chongqing Zhenren stroked his long beard under his chin, and he was in a happy mood.

"Snort~" Listening to the master and apprentice singing and harmonizing, Qingyuan suddenly let out an inexplicable chuckle, which immediately attracted the fierce eyes of the Chongqing people.

"Then let's go back first. Li Zhenghai stood up, nodded at Chongqing Zhenren, and led Lin Xiuyuan to the outside of the hall.

"Alas, after so many years, Yan Shangfeng has finally reopened!" Chongqing Zhenren looked at Li Zhenghai's back and sighed.

"You really look up to that little monster!" Qing Yuan snorted, "Look at his eyes, aren't you afraid that this is luring a wolf into the house?"

"Tsk, Senior Brother Qingyuan, what you said is not right. I think it was you who came to me and proposed to me first, wanting Senior Brother Li to accept Lin Xiuyuan as a disciple, but you were also worried that if no one was involved in it, they would miss the good relationship between master and apprentice. I think your analysis with me at that time was very reasonable, so I agreed to let Wei Jin help. Why is it that now that the matter has come to pass, you blame me?" Chongqing Zhenren was a little dissatisfied with Qingyuan's groundless accusations.

"Senior brother, I want to correct you a little, I never thought that Senior Brother Zhenghai met a little monster is a good fate. For the matter of accepting apprentices, what I hope to change is only the character of Senior Brother Zhenghai, and what you hope to change in this matter is the status quo of the entire Yanshang Peak, and the starting point of the two of us is originally different. Or perceiving the harshness in his words, Qingyuan paused, slowly closed the fan, and slowed down his tone, "Although his eyes are too strange, it always makes me a little uneasy, but after so many years, it is rare to have such an opportunity, how can I let it go like this?"

Chongqing Zhenren didn't seem to notice his unhappiness, and only smiled and comforted: "Senior Brother Qingyuan, when did you become so troubled by gains and losses? Although Senior Brother Li's temperament has become cold, his brain has not become stupid. If there is really something wrong with that kid in Xiuyuan, he will definitely be able to find out in time, and even if he really has any negligence, isn't there still you to help keep an eye on it? I heard that you have been running to Yanshang Peak a lot in the past half a month. Moreover, after today's contact, I don't think there is any danger in that child, although his eyes are a little strange, but the inside is very good. ”

"That's why I'm even more worried. You see that he is normal everywhere, but his eyes have grown like that, how strange is it?" Qingyuan frowned, and his face was a little more uncertain, "And after so many years, why did Senior Brother Zhenghai become interested in him? No matter how I look at it, I didn't find anything similar to Feng Zhikai!"

Chongqing Zhenren has not heard this name for decades, and when he heard Qingyuan mention it at this time, he couldn't help but feel emotional, "It's no wonder that Senior Brother Li has become what he is now, one is the most respected master, and the other is the most beloved disciple, who would have thought that overnight, these two people would be ...... Alas!"

"Yue Maojun, that old horseman, is not worthy of being our master at all!" Qing Yuan squeezed out this sentence from between his teeth with a calm face.

Chongqing shook his head and did not answer.

Qingyuan didn't seem to have any interest in talking, stood up and said, "Forget it, it's not too early, I'm going back, it's time to feed Fu'er." ”

"Are you going back to Quzhifeng? Why don't you plan to go to Yanshang Peak to help Senior Brother Li prepare for the apprenticeship ceremony?

"Senior brother, do you think that with Senior Brother Zhenghai's current temperament, he will still care about any apprenticeship?" Qingyuan asked rhetorically, shaking his head and turning to leave.

After Qingyuan left, Chongqing Zhenren sighed and said to Wei Jin: "Alas, your Uncle Qingyuan is blaming me for only caring about Shangxuanzong and not caring enough about Senior Brother Li. ”

"Actually, Uncle Qingyuan doesn't understand, Master, you are the head of the sect, so when thinking about things, you should naturally put the entire Shangxuan Sect first. But Uncle Qingyuan's temperament also knows that when he is with his fellow brothers, if he is not happy in his heart, he will say it directly, and he will not care whether it makes sense or not. Wei Jin on the side comforted Chongqing Zhenren.

Only this time, he wasn't without reason. Chongqing Zhenren said with some frustration.

"Perhaps. Wei Jin smiled and said, "It's just the same, Wei Jin doesn't think that Master you have done anything wrong." ”

"You're the best at talking!" Chongqing Zhenren smiled, and suddenly remembered something, and his face changed suddenly, "Oh no, I forgot to let Qingyuan leave what he stole from me today!"

In the Jingzhu Hall House of Yanshang Peak, Li Zhenghai sat in the bamboo chair at the top, and Lin Xiuyuan knelt in front of him and respectfully kowtowed to him three times.

"Alright, get up. From now on, you will be a disciple of Yan Shangfeng and a disciple of Shangxuanzong. Li Zhenghai said lightly.

"Is that all?" Lin Xiuyuan was surprised by such a simple apprenticeship.

Apprentice, he always thought that he had to at least put an incense case to worship the ancestor or something, who knew that after Li Zhenghai brought him back, he only allowed himself to kowtow three times, and he didn't even want to worship the tea.

"I don't think this kind of apprenticeship is too ...... Is it a little simpler?" Lin Xiuyuan actually wanted to use the word "sloppy", but he changed it before the exit.

"No amount of red tape can enhance the relationship between our master and apprentice, as long as I teach you sincerely in the future, and you truly respect me, then it is enough. ”

Lin Xiuyuan knelt on the ground and watched Li Zhenghai say these words with a cold face, and for some reason he was a little moved.

"Uncle Li—no, Master, you wait for me for a while!" he said, getting up from the ground, trotting out of the door, and after a while, he came in with a pot of hot tea, picked up a cup from the table, poured it full of tea, and knelt down in front of Li Zhenghai again, "Master, please drink tea." ”

Li Zhenghai took the teacup, looked at the green tea inside, took a shallow sip and put it on the table, "Get up." ”

"Yes. Lin Xiuyuan responded, and then stood up and stood in a proper manner.

"Why do you want to use crystal bamboo leaves to soak in water?" Li Zhenghai glanced at the tea on the table, and the corners of his eyebrows jumped slightly uncontrollably.

"I really couldn't find tea leaves on the peak, so I thought that the bamboo leaves happened to be fragrant, so I picked a few pieces to replace the tea leaves. ”
