Mr. Wu stood in the distance, looked at it for a while, shook his head, and frowned.
"Mr. Wu, why did Senior Brother Zhou and Senior Brother Liu also take action?" A young man in blue shirt stepped forward and said with some dissatisfaction: "They are inner disciples!"
"It should be Xiao He's method." Mr. Wu shook his head disapprovingly: "You are so young and energetic!"
"Mr. Wu, isn't this against the rules?" Another young man in a blue shirt sneered.
"The welcoming ceremony of our Tianyuan Pavilion is performed by the outer disciples. The inner disciples are very busy. When did they have such free time?"
"Senior Brother He did this and it didn't cause chaos?"
The two of them kept talking angrily.
Mr. Wu waved his hand: "Okay, you brothers, don't talk coldly! ... This opportunity is rare, so watch it carefully. You outer disciples rarely can calm down and practice hard, and your sword skills are far behind!"
The two young men in blue shirts snorted and disagreed. Their swordsmanship was far inferior to that of the inner disciples, and it was useless no matter how deep the fire was.
Mr. Wu glanced at them and saw that the expressions on their faces revealed their thoughts. He shook his head and said: "No matter what kind of martial arts, the most important thing is always the people. Look at Xiao Li's moves. They are simply ordinary, but they turn decay into magic.
What clever trick did you use?"
The two young men in blue shirts were silent and unable to refute.
The tricks used by Li Muchan were all the simplest. There was no subtlety in them at all, but they had miraculous effects. They really turned decay into magic, which was breathtaking.
"You guys are ignorant! You think that the more exquisite the sword technique, the more powerful it is. Don't you know that the heat of the sword technique is very important!" Mr. Wu shook his head and sighed.
"Mr. Wu is absolutely right, we were wrong!" The two young men in blue shirts stared at Li Muchan and nodded slowly.
"There's no point in fighting any longer. Let's go!" Mr. Wu strode quickly, speeding up quickly and approaching Li Muchan and the others: "Okay, we're here!"
"Old Wu!" The two young men returned their swords to their scabbards and jumped out of the circle to salute Mr. Wu.
Mr. Wu waved his hand and said nothing else. The two young men felt a little embarrassed. They bowed again and turned around to leave. Without saying a word, they glanced at Li Muchan before leaving.
Li Muchan smiled and said: "He is indeed a senior disciple from a famous family, and his swordsmanship is excellent."
Mr. Wu chuckled and said: "No matter how good their swordsmanship is, you can't do anything about it. Xiao Li, what are you good at is swordsmanship?"
Li Muchan nodded: "Exactly."
"Okay! Okay!" Mr. Wu said with a smile: "Our Tianyuan Pavilion's swordsmanship is considered to be the best. You have come to the right place!"
Li Muchan smiled. Mr. Wu said: "Follow me, let's go up the mountain!"
Mr. Wu strode at the front, while Li Muchan and two young men in blue shirts followed behind him. The two smiled and gave him a thumbs up, while Li Muchan smiled modestly.
With Mr. Wu in front, there was no one in the way. Li Muchan could detect the manpower ambushing on both sides and was ready to pounce, but when he saw Mr. Wu, he could only retreat.
The journey was smooth. The rugged trail could not stop their Qinggong. After about two quarters of an hour, their eyes suddenly opened up, as if a section of the top of the mountain had been cut off, and the steep terrain suddenly became flat. In front of them were endless buildings, towering like floating buildings.
In the clouds, dyed golden by the sunset, it is magnificent and majestic, making people feel ashamed.
Li Muchan sighed in praise.
"This is our Tianyuan Pavilion." Mr. Wu turned around and said with a smile, "How about it?"
Li Muchan looked around: "Great place!"
Mr. Wu said: "Xiao Li, you go and have a rest first. We will hold the initiation ceremony together in a few days."
Li Muchan nodded. Two young men in blue shirts took Li Muchan to a small courtyard. They stopped in front of a small courtyard and said with a smile: "Junior Brother Li, how is it here?"
This small courtyard is located in the easternmost part. To the east is a green pine forest, and you can vaguely hear the whistling of the mountain wind passing through the treetops.
Li Muchan nodded in agreement and thanked the two of them.
Just as the two of them were about to open the door and go in, the door of the adjacent courtyard suddenly opened with a "squeak" and a handsome young man in a blue shirt appeared.
"Junior Brother Lin!" The two of them turned around and laughed.
The young man in blue shirt has slender eyebrows, handsome facial features, and a straight figure that exudes a heroic spirit. He is truly a rare handsome man.
"Hey, this guy has very sharp eyes." He looked at Li Muchan, his handsome eyes were exquisite.
The two young men in blue shirts made an introduction. The man in front of them was named Lin Shaobai. He entered the school three years ago and was considered a junior fellow apprentice. Now with Li Muchan, he has been promoted to a senior fellow apprentice.
Li Muchan cupped his fists and called him Senior Brother Lin. He was young but started early. This is the rule of Tianyuan Pavilion. Seniority is determined based on the order of entry.
"Haha, good!" Lin Shaobai looked at Li Muchan happily and said with a smile: "Don't worry, no one in the cabinet will dare to bully Junior Brother Li with me in the future!"
Li Muchan thanked him for his kindness.
A young man in a blue shirt shook his head and said with a smile: "Junior Brother Lin, you must underestimate Junior Brother Li. When we were going up the mountain, some inner disciples made trouble, and we did not please Junior Brother Li."
"Oh——?!" Lin Shaobai said in surprise: "Junior brother Li has taken care of the inner disciples!"
A young man in a blue shirt smiled proudly and said: "Junior Brother Li defeated Senior Brother He to get in!"
"Senior Brother He?" Lin Shaobai became more and more surprised: "He Sen?"
"Not bad!" Another young man in a blue shirt sneered: "He has always had eyes on the top of his head. Junior Brother Li taught him a lesson this time, which is really satisfying!"
"Senior Brother He is very popular, Junior Brother Li must be careful!" Lin Shaobai said: "All the inner disciples will retaliate, and you can't swallow this!"
"Junior brother Lin is right. Junior brother Li should cheer up and be careful!" The two young men in blue shirts nodded hurriedly.
Li Muchan smiled and nodded.
Lin Shaobai said enthusiastically: "The two senior brothers are also tired, please leave junior brother Li to me!"
The two young men in blue shirts looked at him and then at Li Muchan. Li Muchan smiled and said, "I'll just trouble Brother Lin."
"Okay." The two young men in blue shirts didn't refuse. They walked fast all the way and were dragged by He Sen. They gritted their teeth and held on. At this moment, their bodies seemed to fall apart. They were really tired.
After the two left, Lin Shaobai smiled and said: "Junior Brother Li, follow me!"
Lin Shaobai looked handsome and cold, but in fact he was very enthusiastic. He led Li Muchan into the small courtyard and helped him make the bedding together.
Lin Shaobai said with a smile: "The bedding is ready. It has been dried and has no musty smell. It can be used directly."
Li Muchan nodded. He actually didn't care about this. He didn't have to sleep now, he just needed to meditate. The world was full of spiritual energy, which made meditating more comfortable.
Lin Shaobai sat on the couch, shook his head and sighed: "Junior Brother Li, we have to take care of each other in the future. Tianyuan Pavilion is not a place to enjoy happiness."
Li Muchan smiled and said, "I heard that outer disciples have a hard time."
"Yes..." Lin Shaobai shook his head with emotion: "We are not lucky enough to be under the Tianyuan Pavilion since childhood. If you want to practice advanced martial arts, you have to rely on merit. Without merit, you will learn nothing."
Li Muchan said: "I will be satisfied if I can learn advanced martial arts. The hard work is worth it."
"That's true." Lin Shaobai said with a smile: "But it depends on who we compare with. Compared with those ordinary people in the martial arts world, we are happy. We can learn advanced martial arts, but they have no way to learn it.
!”
Li Muchan nodded and smiled: "Tianyuan Pavilion does not accept outsiders. I have made great contributions within the family, so I have the opportunity to be recommended."
"Exactly." Lin Shaobai nodded vigorously and said: "Outsiders don't want to enter our Tianyuan Pavilion! ... But compared with the guys from the inner sect, we are far behind!"
Li Muchan smiled: "Everyone's fate is different. It may be that they have accumulated virtue in their previous life. Besides, there are not many inner disciples, right?"
"We don't have many disciples in Tianyuan Pavilion." Lin Shaobai shook his head and sighed: "Including Junior Brother Li, there are only about a hundred people."
Li Muchan was surprised: "How come there are so few?"
Although he did not fully understand the world, he also knew that the world was huge and that a hundred people were too few.
Lin Shaobai shook his head: "I don't understand either. Other sects are trying their best to recruit people. I'm afraid there are not enough people, so our Tianyuan Pavilion is better!"
Li Muchan said: "It's not a bad thing that soldiers are more valuable than more skilled soldiers."
Lin Shaobai disagreed: "But once we fight with others, we will definitely suffer."
The two chatted, and soon someone brought food. Li Muchan and Lin Shaobai ate together. The two chatted in harmony and quickly became familiar with each other.
————
In the early morning of the next day, Li Muchan had just woken up, but before he even got to bed, there was a knock on the courtyard door, and Lin Shaobai's voice came from the "ding-dong" sound: "Junior Brother Li, are you up?"
Li Muchan took a seat and sat down. While calming down, he pushed the door out of the house, walked to the courtyard door in two steps, and opened the courtyard door.
Lin Shaobai wore a snow-white Luo shirt and stood at the door with a smile: "Junior Brother Li, are you up?"
Li Muchan smiled and said, "I just got up. It's so early, Senior Brother Lin!"
"I'm used to it." Lin Shaobai said: "You can't do it if you don't work hard. Junior Brother Li, you got up late!"
Li Muchan nodded and said with a smile, "Senior Brother Lin, what advice do you have?"
"I'll tell you good news!" Lin Shaobai smiled and said, "We only have you as our junior brother this time!"
Li Muchan raised his eyebrows: "Am I the only one?"
Lin Shaobai stepped into the courtyard and smiled happily: "The five groups of people who came down the mountain all came back last night, and no one came back with them."
Li Muchan smiled, and Lin Shaobai said: "Junior brother Li, you are our junior brother! ... Hehe, interesting!"
Li Muchan looked at him doubtfully.
Lin Shaobai said: "Logically speaking, the ones who assess the outer sect disciples are all elders, and there are also inner sect disciples. As long as the inner sect disciples can support a hundred moves, they will pass."
Li Muchan said: "Isn't this too childish?"
Lin Shaobai snorted angrily: "Those guys have been carefully trained since childhood. They are not good people. It is not easy to block them with a hundred moves. I tried my best to block them, but I lost in one hundred and one moves!"
Li Muchan nodded. He Sen's martial arts were indeed impressive. No wonder Tianyuan Pavilion sent He Sen to the Dong Mansion for assessment in order to prevent fraud. This trick was very effective.
Lin Shaobai smiled and said: "Hey, Junior Brother Li, not only did you survive a hundred moves this time, but you also defeated He Sen. It's really satisfying!"
Li Muchan smiled bitterly and said, "I offended Senior Brother He terribly."
"What does that matter?" Lin Shaobai snorted: "Those guys have eyes on the top of their heads and don't even look at us! Let them know this time that the outer disciples are not so easy to bully!"
Li Muchan shook his head helplessly.
Lin Shaobai said: "Don't worry, Junior Brother Li, we will help you!"
Li Muchan said: "I hope so."
"It is said that the entrance ceremony will not be held." Lin Shaobai smiled and said: "I will take you to get to know everyone!"
Li Muchan did not refuse his kindness and visited him from yard to yard. He had a photographic memory and could remember everything he saw once.
They were also deeply impressed by this junior brother who defeated the inner disciples. Lin Shaobai would proudly emphasize this every time he went to a courtyard.
Li Muchan smiled bitterly to himself. This was to bring hatred to himself. He Sen didn't hate himself to death?
But there was no point in retreating now. He would raise his head and then shrink his head. It would be better to stand up and be a good person. He could vaguely feel that someone was paying attention to him.
Li Muchan originally thought that there would be more outer disciples than inner disciples, but it was actually the opposite. There were thirty-two outer disciples in total. He secretly speculated that none of them were better than himself in cultivation. They were all in their thirties, mature and prudent, and the youngest
It's Lin Shaobai.
————
Lin Shaobai took him around the small courtyards of all the outer disciples. Li Muchan asked why he didn't go to the inner gate to take a look. Lin Shaobai curled his lips and said, "They? None of them see outsiders!"
Li Muchan nodded, it seemed that they were concentrating on practicing hard.
The inner disciples have the same worries as the inner disciples. It is by no means as comfortable as the outer disciples imagined. The competition must be even fiercer. This is also the way of imperialism. It is too comfortable and there is no ambition. As a Tianyuan Pavilion that has been passed down for thousands of years,
I will never allow my students to be lazy, but will force them to work hard.
Li Muchan shook his head and sighed: "Maybe they even envy us, we are more free."
Lin Shaobai hummed in dissatisfaction: "It's their fate to open their mouths to eat, to stretch out their clothes, how can they suffer from our running around? You have to use every opportunity to practice, and even if you want to practice, you don't have the time!"
Li Muchan said: "Practice practicing all day long can drive people crazy."
Lin Shaobai curled his lips: "We gather together in twos and threes, chatting and laughing, while practicing martial arts. It's very comfortable, how can it drive you crazy?!"
Li Muchan smiled and said, "Who is Senior Sister Zhu?"
Lin Shaobai blushed immediately and shook his head hastily: "Hey, don't mention it!"
Li Muchan chuckled and said, "Are you an inner disciple?"
Lin Shaobai blushed and said proudly: "Not bad!"
Li Muchan said: "Senior Brother Lin looks down on the inner disciples, doesn't he?"
"Senior sister is different!" Lin Shaobai shook his head.
Li Muchan laughed, the gentle lady and gentleman were so excited, Lin Shaobai was at his most innocent and romantic at this age, the two of them walked back while talking.
"Xiao Bai!" A clear call stopped Lin Shaobai in his tracks.
His body froze, and after a moment he slowly turned around, blushing and calling: "Senior Sister Zhu."
A girl in red walked slowly over with her hands behind her back, tilted her head and looked at him: "Why haven't I seen you practicing in the past few days?!"
Lin Shaobai hurriedly said: "I just came back."
The girl in red sneered: "Then why didn't you tell me?"
Lin Shaobai scratched his head and said sheepishly: "I was in such a hurry, I forgot about it!"
"Okay, you don't take me as a senior sister seriously!" The girl in red sneered: "Forgot! Why didn't you forget to eat and wear clothes?!"
Lin Shaobai hurriedly said: "Senior sister, you have lost weight!"
"Stop talking nonsense!" The girl in red waved her hand and said bitterly: "Don't think about me paying attention to you again!"
After saying that, he turned around and left without even looking at Li Muchan.
————
Li Muchan remained silent the whole time, looking at the girl in red. Her plump body was full of youthfulness and innocence. Her round face had bright big eyes, and her slightly turned nose looked cute and cute.
Li Muchan knew that this was Senior Sister Zhu who everyone used to make fun of Lin Shaobai. He didn't know her name, but they seemed to be a good match.
Seeing Lin Shaobai stamping his feet anxiously, Li Muchan smiled half-heartedly: "Senior Brother Lin, is this Senior Sister Zhu?"
Lin Shaobai glared at him: "Don't make fun of me!"
Li Muchan laughed: "Senior Sister Zhu is angry, Senior Brother Lin, why don't you go and chase her?"
"No need!" Lin Shaobai said harshly, looking at the back of the girl in red unwillingly.
She was not walking fast. As soon as he said these words, she accelerated sharply and disappeared from their sight in the blink of an eye. She turned the corner and disappeared.
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Senior Brother Lin, women have to be coaxed, so go ahead!"
Lin Shaobai snorted: "You can't spoil her!"
Li Muchan shook his head and laughed: "Senior Brother Lin, please stop trying to show off your authority. A man can bend and stretch, so it's no big deal to apologize."
"...Really?" Lin Shaobai pondered for a moment.
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Go quickly, otherwise Senior Sister Zhu will really run away!"
"Okay, I'll just listen to you, Junior Brother Li!" Lin Shaobai nodded enthusiastically and hurriedly caught up.
Li Muchan shook his head and laughed. He couldn't hold back so much. He must have been pinched by Senior Sister Zhu. He couldn't stand up and become the master.
After a while, Li Muchan was practicing in the courtyard. The courtyard door was pushed open, and Lin Shaobai came in dejectedly.
Li Muchan stopped and came forward: "Senior Brother Lin, haven't you coaxed him well?"
Lin Shaobai snorted angrily: "It's too much to bully others!"
Li Muchan said: "A fight?"
"Humph, she looks down on us outer disciples!" Lin Shaobai was angry.
Li Muchan smiled: "I think Senior Sister Zhu's martial arts is better, right?"
"She has been practicing since she was a child. I will definitely be able to surpass her in the future!" Lin Shaobai looked unconvinced.
Li Muchan said: "That's it! I guess she did it unintentionally."
Lin Shaobai hummed: "I said you defeated He Sen, but she still doesn't believe it!"
Li Muchan smiled and shook his head: "I'm lucky too."
"Inner disciple, huh!" Lin Shaobai was furious: "Junior Brother Li, why don't you defeat all the inner disciples!"
Li Muchan smiled bitterly: "Senior Brother Lin praises me too much!"
Lin Shaobai said: "I think it's about the same. Your cultivation is so profound that you are even better than them."
Li Muchan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "If that's true, why would I come to Tianyuan Pavilion!...Senior Brother Lin, don't be as knowledgeable as a woman."
Lin Shaobai snorted: "She is so annoying!"
Li Muchan said: "Come on, let's go have a drink! ...I heard that Junior Brother Lin is hiding some fine wine!"
When Lin Shaobai took him and introduced him one by one, it was not just a few simple sentences, but also a lot of nonsense. Li Muchan also knew a lot about Lin Shaobai's background.
"Okay!" Lin Shaobai shook his head and sighed: "All the senior brothers are immersed in practicing and have no time to drink. They really don't understand the joy of life!"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Exactly!"
The two of them left his small courtyard while talking and came to Lin Shaobai's courtyard to the west. As soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw four large vats placed in the northeast corner of the wall, with a faint aroma of wine. There were also four large vats in the northwest corner, filled with black oil.
Yes, the eaves block the sunlight from hitting the tank.
Li Muchan shrugged his nose and said with a smile: "Good wine!"
"Let's go, try these jars of good wine I have collected!" Lin Shaobai proudly walked to the northeast corner and patted a wine vat: "I brought these up the mountain specially. It's not easy to carry jars one by one!"
"Bang!" There was a muffled sound, and the courtyard door was knocked open. (To be continued...)
