Volume 4: The Sword Traces Lost Chapter 5: Yuenv Peak (Part 1)
Teacher An¡¯s sharp gaze. Zhuang Yi's body trembled and his face instantly turned pale, "It wasan old tutortaught me."
"Old man?" Teacher An stared at his face closely and asked more and more.
"His hair is all white, his beard is also white, and there are many wrinkles on his face. He sits under a crooked neck tree at the end of the village and drinks wine every day" Zhuang Yi said indifferently.
Teacher An¡¯s expression gradually softened, ¡°Yizhuang, tell me, what is this old man¡¯s name and when did he arrive in the village?¡±
Seeing that his face was no longer so stern, Zhuang Yi seemed to be less scared, "I don't know what the old man's name is. People in the village called him a drunkard. The year I shot the Ma Ying for the first time, Uncle Tiger next door, Picked him up from the woods"
Teacher An asked a few more questions. It was not that he had any doubts, just routine questions. After all, a son of an Orion from a mountain village could practice to the realm of a warrior. It's a very unusual thing.
He himself is also an Orion, and he can tell the truth from the false in just a few words. He originally had some affection for this honest and honest boy. Seeing that there was no flaw, the look on his face became gentler and gentler. Finally, he asked, "How did you come to Pingzhou?"
Zhuang Yi answered "honestly", "The old man said he could no longer teach me and asked me to go down the mountain and join a sect so that I could continue to practice. So I went down the mountain and walked to the river. When I saw a big boat, I I asked them where I could join the sect, and they took me on the boat. I stayed on the boat for thirty-one days, and they kicked me off again, saying I had no money. I heard someone on the road saying that I could join here. The sect is here"
Teacher An couldn¡¯t help but laugh after listening to it, and finally figured it out. It seems that an unscrupulous boatman saw his stupidity and deceived him into Pingzhou, where he joined the sect by accident.
"Okay. Go back and remember to practice hard." Rarely, Teacher An gave one more warning.
"Yes, teacher." Zhuang Yi nodded vigorously.
Back in the room, Zhuang Yi breathed a real sigh of relief. It seemed that he had gotten through it. He had reviewed the whole set of words in his mind countless times, so naturally he would not make any mistakes. Two points were true and seven points were false. He was confident that there would be no flaws.
¡°Knock, knock,¡± a quick knock on the door rang. Opening the door, he saw Li Xuebin, "Senior Brother Li, what do you want from me?"
In the Xiyuan Sect, the concept of seniority is relatively vague. Among disciples of the same level, they are ranked according to their age. Among the eleven, Zhuang Yi is the youngest, so naturally he is the junior junior.
"Teacher An is here to talk to you. Is everything okay?" Li Xuebin asked with concern after closing the door.
Zhuang Yi shook his head, "Nothing."
"That's good." Li Xuebin relaxed and sat on the chair. He picked up the kettle on the table, poured himself a glass of water, took a big sip, and then asked, "By the way, the teacher is looking for you. What good thing is there for you?" ?¡±
After half a month of getting along, Zhuang Yi was already very familiar with his temperament, and was not surprised by his indifferent behavior. "The teacher said that my basic skills were okay, and told me that I didn't need to take his class, and asked me to study with another teacher. .¡±
"Really?" Li Xuebin's hand trembled, and all the cold water in the pot poured into the hand holding the cup. He looked at Zhuang Yi with envy and jealousy, a complicated light flashing in his eyes, "You are so lucky."
Zhuang Yi had already told Li Xuebin about the unknown old man teaching him martial arts.
Li Xuebin looked at Zhuang Yi with an indifferent expression, but he didn't know what he felt in his heart.
The next day, Zhuang Yi got up as usual, practiced Chang Quan and had breakfast. After a while, I saw Teacher An, leading a disciple in blue.
"Yizhuang, just let him be." Teacher An saw Zhuang Yi. Then he tilted his head slightly and said.
The disciple in blue was also in his thirties and was obviously a "teaching assistant". After bowing to Teacher An, he left with solemnity.
? Below, the ten people who came with Zhuang Yi all looked at Zhuang Yi's back with complicated eyes.
"Junior brother Yi, my name is Wu Tian, ??and I am your new senior brother. I will take you to the vice-president for transfer first, and then see the teacher." Not far away, the disciple in blue said in an easy-going manner.
Zhuang Yi bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, senior brother."
Wu Tian chuckled, "My fellow apprentices, why are you so polite?"
After going to the vice-president's office again to go through the formalities of being admitted, Wu Tian took Zhuang Yi to meet his new brothers and teachers.
It was also a large courtyard. As soon as Wu Tian and his wife entered the door, they glanced at Zhuang Yi dozens of times.?Come here.
Wu Tian clapped his hands, attracted everyone's attention, and said loudly, "Let me introduce you. This is our new classmate, whose surname is Yi Mingzhuang. From now on, he will learn the art with you. Everyone must be united and friendly. For Our sixty-two teams strive for glory.¡±
Zhuang Yi took a step forward with a harmless smile on his face, "Hello everyone, my name is Yi Zhuang. Please take good care of me in the future."
The reaction of the nineteen people present was neither enthusiastic nor indifferent.
¡° Then Wu Tian introduced him one by one. There were nineteen people in total, nine men and ten women. They are all between seventeen or eighteen to twenty-five years old.
After that, Wu Tian and Zhuang Yi took another trip and returned to their original residence. All the clothes and other daily necessities were moved here.
In the afternoon, Zhuang Yi met the new teacher. The new teacher¡¯s surname was Qin. She was a woman and was slightly younger than Teacher An.
¡°Compared to the strict Teacher An, Teacher Qin is exceptionally kind and refreshing.
Although Zhuang Yi is new, Teacher Qin will never slow down the progress of the course just for one person. The content of what she said was more in-depth, but more time was given for the disciples to ask questions.
After it was over, she deliberately stayed with Zhuang Yi, got to know his strength, and told him to ask Wu Tian if he didn't understand anything. Then he left.
In this way, Zhuang Yi stayed here and practiced with concentration. In order to hide from others, Zhuang Yi either stayed in the room or found a place where no one was around to practice alone, which seemed quite unsociable.
Time flies, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye.
Early this morning, Zhuang Yi sat cross-legged on a huge rock on the mountainside, practicing "Xuan Tian Jue".
After three months of hard training, his strength has reached the peak of a low-grade warrior. He vaguely feels that the time for breakthrough will be in the near future.
It was also thanks to those several near-death experiences that stimulated his potential that it was possible to reach the bottleneck again in such a short period of time.
He has already asked for leave from Teacher Qin and is preparing to stay in seclusion for ten days.
"In the Xiyuan School, there is actually a lot of freedom. Even if you don't listen to the teacher's lectures, no one will hold you accountable. But there is one thing, if you cannot pass the annual assessment. They will be demoted to a separate garden and lose the possibility of practicing higher-level exercises and martial arts.
Zhuang Yi does not plan to stay here for too long. He will leave for Jiangzhou in two years at most. Therefore, his true strength cannot be revealed yet. Otherwise, you may have some trouble going down the mountain in the future.
With the "Hidden Jade" mentality, it is easy to hide one's strength. He is relatively low-key and no one knows that he is actually a disciple in blue who is about to make a breakthrough.
"Junior Sister Lan, where did you go yesterday?"
Zhuang Yi was startled by a sudden voice not far behind. The voice sounded like a man's, and there was a hint of questioning in his tone.
"Long Ao, I don't need to report to you where I am going." Another female voice hinted at displeasure. It must be the Junior Sister Lan that the man mentioned earlier.
Zhuang Yi frowned slightly. He came here often and never met anyone. Unexpectedly, two uninvited guests came today.
"Hmph, don't forget, you are my, Long Ao's, unmarried wife. Do you want to embarrass your Lan family by hooking up with other men?" Long Ao was obviously irritated and started to stammer. Choose your words.
"YouLong Ao, I tell you, even if I die, I will not marry you." Junior Sister Lan was so angry that she lost her mind, and her voice became sharp. A footsteps gradually faded away.
"Even if you die, you are still a member of my Long family." Long Ao roared while breathing heavily.
After a while, there was a "bang", and someone hit something, and an extremely manic voice said, "Bitch. Don't you like Wang Yifeng? I will let him be ruined and his reputation" The voice became louder and louder. The lower. But the cold feeling has not dissipated at all.
After a while, the sound of footsteps gradually faded away.
"A love triangle? Interesting." Zhuang Yi shook his head, put this little incident behind him, and continued his practice.
Half a month later, I ended my retreat and returned to my yard.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw a figure of Miao Sha, practicing boxing in the courtyard. It was the long boxing he must practice every day.
"Brother Yi." When the figure saw Zhuang Yi coming in, he immediately stopped and shouted in surprise. A pretty face that looked both angry and happy appeared in front of him.
"You're finally back." The girl ran to Zhuang Yi, her little face filled with a joyful smile.
"Xiaoye, you're practicing boxing again." Seeing it was her, Zhuang Yi's face softened.
Her name is Chi Ye, and she came here a month later than him.Although she entered the courtyard a year earlier than Zhuang Yi, at only seventeen years old, she could only be everyone's junior sister.
¡°I don¡¯t know why, but the innocent Chi Ye is particularly attracted to Zhuang Yi. She often pestered him to ask for advice on this and that. Seeing that he was practicing Changquan every morning when he got up, she also wanted to learn it.
Zhuang Yi couldn't resist being thousands of miles away. In this way, the relationship between the two became better and better, and now they are like brothers and sisters.
"Brother Yi, I have some good news for you." Chi Ye took Zhuang Yi's arm and said coquettishly.
"What's the good news?" Zhuang Yi said as he walked towards the room.
"Guess?" Chi Ye said with a smile. She said she was asking him to guess, but quickly took the initiative to tell the answer. "Next month, the Yue Women's Summit will send disciples to come to communicate. Do you think this is great news?"
"This is not good news." Zhuang Yi was a little dumbfounded.
"Who says it's not the case?" Chi Ye frowned, "My sister Mu will definitely come too, and I will be able to see her then."
