Chapter 13
Xu Qingxue walks behind Xu Ziyan, and glances at Xu Ziyan's back from time to time. I kept thinking in my heart, in fact, she didn't sleep well last night. Thinking over and over again of the scene where he and Xu Ziyan fought, the scene kept replaying in front of his eyes.
She was regarded by her family as a gifted girl since she was a child. At the age of three, she was considered to be practicing. At the age of thirteen, she had practiced to the sixth level of the day after tomorrow. This is not uncommon in the Xu family, and there are quite a few. But like her, there are very few people who have never taken a pill and have cultivated to the sixth level of the day after tomorrow through their own efforts.
In the Xu family, not only in the Xu family, but in every family on this continent, there is a difference between those direct disciples and ordinary disciples from birth. Although they can't eat pills as jelly beans like Xu Ziyan now, there are still a lot of pills that can be eaten, so the so-called genius boys in many families are just nibbling.
But Xu Qingxue was different. She was from a poor family and she cultivated with her own aptitude and hard work. So she has always been very proud in her little heart. When Xu Ziyan came to visit her yesterday, she understood Xu Ziyan's intention without saying a few words. Originally cold and proud, she thought that Xu Ziyan had heard of her reputation and came to ask her for advice. So inevitably a little arrogant.
And she deeply thought in her heart that there was nothing to say about cultivation. If you want to communicate, you can only understand it if you have played. When she just wanted to speak to Xu Ziyan, she didn't expect that Xu Ziyan misunderstood that she was unwilling to communicate with herself, so she offered to leave.
After Xu Ziyan left, Xu Qingxue felt that she had accepted the gift from the other party, and saw that Xu Ziyan had obviously misunderstood herself, so she felt a little sorry in her heart, so she decided to wait for Xu Ziyan to come back, and then she would visit her. Point to each other.
But the result of the confrontation made her very embarrassed and frustrated. At the beginning, she was able to gain some advantage, but after only a dozen rounds, she lost all advantage. In the end, he was kicked back by Xu Ziyan's punch, and Xu Qingxue could see that the other party obviously didn't exert all his strength.
Looking up at Xu Ziyan's back again, a thought suddenly flashed in Xu Qingxue's heart. The Xu Ziyan in front of him is definitely not a thing in the pool, and he may soar into the sky in the future. If I make friends with her now, maybe it will be of great help to me in the future. But is he going to surrender to her like this? Proud Xu Qingxue was reluctant in her heart, so she followed Xu Ziyan and others to the teaching hall in a daze.
Everyone chose a place, sat on the ground, talked softly, and waited for the teacher to appear. After a quarter of an hour, the hall suddenly fell silent, and Xu Ziyan and others also hurriedly shut up and looked up to the front. I saw a middle-aged man strolling up to the front podium. Xu Ziyan took a look with his spiritual eyes and saw that the other party was a first-level cultivation base in the Qi refining period.
The middle-aged man walked up to the podium and started teaching without looking at everyone. They were all quietly listening carefully one by one. Today is the first class for newcomers to the outer hall, so it is about the basic essentials of cultivation from the fifth floor to the twelfth floor of the day after tomorrow. And these are exactly what newcomers are lacking, so they listened to each one very carefully, fascinated.
In the main hall at this time, all the new disciples were sitting, only a few dozen people. And those old people in the outer hall knew that this was the first class for the new disciples, and it was all about the most basic things, so they didn't come at all.
Xu Ziyan also listened very carefully below. Her cultivation base is naturally different from these new disciples, and there is an extremely complete set of exercises in the inheritance, so she will immediately understand every word of the teacher, and draw inferences from one instance. , By analogy, greatly inspired. Soon Xu Ziyan mastered what the teacher taught.
After the teacher finished the lesson,
He raised his eyes and glanced at the disciples below, only to see that the eyes of all the disciples were all blank. He secretly smiled in his heart, today he just explained to everyone the general outline of cultivation from the sixth to the twelfth level of the day after tomorrow, knowing in his heart that it is impossible for these disciples who have lifted this level for the first time to understand, it is not bad if they can understand a level or two up. Remember when I first entered the outer hall to listen to lectures, didn't I feel the same at a loss? Anyway, I will explain it to them layer by layer in the future, and whether they can understand it at that time depends on their individual understanding.
Feeling a little emotional, I didn't want to disturb these disciples' comprehension, so I wanted to leave. But his eyes suddenly focused, and he saw Xu Ziyan sitting in the crowd. I saw Xu Ziyan sitting there with clear eyes, and there was a little bit of confusion there.
At this time, Xu Ziyan saw the teacher stop, obviously wanting to leave. She wondered if she and the others should also leave, but when she looked at Xu Li, Xu Ling and the others beside her, she found that they were all sitting there in a daze. Xu Ziyan felt strange, so he turned his head and looked around, and found that dozens of people in the hall were like this, and their eyes were confused.
She was puzzled here, and the teacher on the podium was not happy. Looking at Xu Ziyan looking around, he believed that Xu Ziyan was slipping away and didn't listen to his lecture at all. He absolutely would not believe that a new student would be able to master the basics of cultivation after listening to the first class, so there was only one reason for her clear eyes, and that was that she didn't attend the class at all.
He snorted coldly, thinking in his heart, such a person who does not know how to make progress, just wait for the future to suffer, even if he dies, such a person is not a pity. He waved his robe sleeves, gave Xu Ziyan a hard look, turned and left the hall.
It happened that Xu Ziyan saw the teacher's eyes, and Xu Ziyan was very depressed. She didn't know how she offended the teacher, and why the teacher gave herself a hard look when she left.
At this time, all the disciples were awakened by the cold snort of the teacher before leaving. Seeing the back of the teacher leaving, he stood up neatly, bowed and saluted:
"Thank you, teacher."
After sending the teacher away, Xu Ziyan found that everyone did not leave, but whispered and whispered there one by one. Xu Ziyan was affected, and quietly tugged on Xu Li, and said in a low voice:
"Xu Li, why don't you leave? What are they whispering there?"
Xu Li's expression was ugly, and she approached Xu Ziyan and said softly: "Everyone dare not go out!"
"Why?" Xu Ziyan asked inexplicably.
"This is the rule of the outer hall. After the new disciples finish their first class, those old disciples will wait for us at the gate of the main hall."
"What are we waiting for?" Xu Ziyan felt a little bad in his heart at this time.
"Hit us! Every new student will be punished by the old disciples, and every month we will ask us to send them some gold and silver as protection fees. If we don't give them, they will beat us, or kill us , and the family will not care."
Speaking of this, Xu Li sighed softly and said: "If it's just to beat us up, it's fine to collect some gold and silver. What's even more hateful is that every month the family sends us a grain of Yun to our outer disciples." They will also come to grab the elixir. And we can't beat them, without the elixir of Yunyun, our cultivation base will increase the distance from them, and we will be bullied by them all the time."
"Then there is no solution?" Xu Ziyan frowned and asked.
"Yes, unless you join their gang and be their dog. That way you will be less bullied."
"Then... the family doesn't care? Is this rule stipulated by the family?" Xu Ziyan asked angrily.
"This is not stipulated by the family, but these old disciples came up with it themselves. However, the family also knows about this, but they don't care about it, saying that there is competition to make progress. Only through cruelty can one become a real talent."
After listening, Xu Ziyan couldn't help but sigh. Although this method is cruel, anyone who can survive this environment must be the strongest person in this generation. This is a way to cultivate talents for the family, but it is too cruel. After thinking about it, I also shook my head with a headache and said:
"But we can't stay in this hall forever, can we?"
"Yes!" Xu Li also said sadly, looking blankly at the people whispering around her.
"There's nothing wrong with this. If you want to fight, you can fight. Sister Ziyan, let's fight." Xu Ziyan didn't need to look back, he knew that it was the militant Xu Qingxue who said this. But looking down and thinking about it, it seems that there is only one way. Besides, Xu Ziyan has already benefited from the fight with Xu Qingxue, and he once thought that after a while, after he became familiar with the outer hall, he knew that those people were masters of the outer hall, and he was going to ask for advice one by one. Now that they come to your door, you can play a game in advance, which seems to be nothing.
Just as he was thinking of talking to his companions, the disciples in the hall seemed to have made a decision, and they all walked slowly towards the outside of the hall. So Xu Ziyan stopped talking and followed the crowd to go outside.
Walking out of the main hall, I saw many people standing outside the main hall. Xu Ziyan took a rough look. There were more than a hundred people, divided into four groups and standing not far from the entrance of the main hall, each of them looked at them with a smile on their faces. His new disciples, with that smile and gaze, are like a pack of wolves seeing sheep.
There were thirty-six new disciples this time. At this time, more than a dozen people walked up to the old disciples. Each of them took out a bag from his body and handed it to the old disciples opposite. Those old disciples took the bag, weighed it in their hands, and put it in their arms. Those new disciples who paid the money saw the other party put away the money bag they had handed in, all of them looked happy, bowed and saluted:
"Brothers, can we go?"
"Crack~~"
A slap in the face made those new disciples back again and again. An arrogant voice came from the crowd:
"Things that are not as good as pigs and dogs, you go far!"
