"Su Hong, what do you mean? Are you determined to do something right with us?"
Zhang Li said with a pale face. Although he said this, he did not act rashly. It was obvious that he was extremely afraid of this girl named Su Hong.
"Hmph! If you want to bully the minority, then count me as one. If he deals with Xie Lou, your opponent is me. The sect has its own rules. Xie Lou, if you want to mess around, your senior brothers won't let you go.
Pass you."
The girl in beautiful clothes walked over slowly, with an old-fashioned look on her face.
"Haha, if there's a group fight, add my old man to the list!"
Duan Gang laughed loudly beside him.
One sentence made everyone frown.
"Su Hong. He is just a registered disciple, not even a formal disciple. The sect's rules do not apply to him yet!"
Xie Lou said coldly.
"Huh, whether it applies or not is a matter for the future. But it is a fact that you lost."
Su Hong said unceremoniously.
"You guys are so cruel! We admit defeat this time!"
The situation is stronger than the people. It is already difficult to deal with a newcomer with unknown origins. With Su Hong in the mix, even Zhang Li has to swallow his breath.
The two of them turned their eyes and looked at Yang Ji aside.
While the three of them were talking, Yang Ji's Bailian long sword was still pointed at Xie Lou's neck. Although Xie Lou tried to keep up his reputation and said harshly, he actually didn't dare to move.
"Did I say I would let you go?"
Yang Ji said with no expression on his face.
Xie Lou's expression suddenly changed.
"Senior brother, please give me some face. How about sheathing your sword and letting him go?"
Su Hong said at this time.
Yang Ji just thought for a moment and immediately took back the Bailian sword:
"For the sake of Senior Sister Su, I will spare you. Get out!"
"Huh! This matter won't just be forgotten."
Xie Lou put aside these cruel words and turned around and left.
Only Zhang Li turned around and took a deep look at Yang Ji, as if he wanted to remember Yang Ji's new face, and then turned and left.
"Thank you, senior brother. Do you know what to call me?"
Su Hong, a girl in beautiful clothes, came over.
"Yang Ji."
Yang Ji didn't hide it. He still had a good impression of this girl in beautiful clothes: "Senior Sister Su, thank you for your help."
"Haha, it's a piece of cake! Moreover, they have nothing to do with us. The enemy of our enemy is our friend."
Su Hong smiled sweetly and suddenly pointed at the long sword in Yang Ji's hand:
"Can I take a look at that sword?"
"Just take it and take a look."
Yang Ji smiled and handed the Bailian sword over.
"If I read it correctly. The hundred-forged long sword made of fine iron in the army, tsk tsk, has actually been specially tempered. This is a fine product in the army, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get it. You, a newcomer, are so precious.
The sword is very extraordinary!"
Su Hong looked at the long sword and tutted.
"It's just that I have made some merits in the past. By chance, I was rewarded by the imperial court."
Yang Ji wrote lightly.
Su Hong smiled and returned the Bailian sword to Yang Ji without asking any questions.
"Your swordsmanship is very good, and you can actually defeat Xie Lou. However, you have to be careful. This place is different from the mountain. If you offend a disciple who is teaching you, you will offend a group of people. It will be very troublesome in the sect in the future.
.”
Su Hong paused:
"Where is the disciple who led you up the mountain?"
Yang Ji turned around and took a look, his expression slightly changed. Only then did he realize that the three Iron Crown Sect disciples who led him up the mountain were missing.
"Those three spineless guys, when they saw you fighting with the disciples who were teaching you the martial arts, they ran away long ago for fear of harming themselves!"
On the side, Duan Gang was not angry.
He was right next to them. He had noticed the three people disappearing long ago. Without three people to lead the way and help with the formalities for joining the sect, the two of them were like blind eyes, which was very troublesome.
After Su Hong heard this, she couldn't help but hide her mouth and smile. The atmosphere of the battle just disappeared immediately, and her relationship became closer.
"You two are so bold. You dare to challenge the disciples as soon as you go up the mountain. I have seen so many newcomers on the mountain, but none of them are so bold. It's strange that they don't run away."
Su Hong smiled and quickly extended a helping hand:
"But it won't be a big deal if you run away. Now that you meet me, I will help you to the end and go through the formalities for joining the clan for you. - Have you brought all the recommendations from the imperial court?"
Yang Ji nodded.
"Bring it, bring it!"
Duan Gang also shouted beside him.
The two quickly took out their invitations. Duan Gang's one was fine. Suddenly seeing the red recommendation card in Yang Ji's hand, Su Hong's face suddenly changed.
"The imperial court fully recommended the post, how could you have such a thing?"
Su Hong said solemnly.
"Rewarded by the imperial court."
Yang Ji said calmly.
"Hehe, he is still number one in both civil and military rankings in our Pingchuan City."
Duan Gang said proudly from the side, feeling quite proud.
Su Hong couldn't help but take a deep look at Yang Ji, and the expression in her eyes immediately changed completely. If before, she looked at Yang Ji as an outstanding newcomer, now, she has completely regarded Yang Ji as her equal.
identity of.
I don’t dare to underestimate Yang Ji because of his “newcomer” status.
The bright red recommendation post is not only unique in color, it represents a special honor and is the opponent fully recommended by the imperial court to the sect.
Su Hong has been in the mountain for a long time. She has heard of, seen, and contacted many new people. But she has never heard of anyone who can go to the mountain with such a popular recommendation post.
The imperial court has always been generous in recommending people to sects, but it is too difficult for them to fully recommend someone!
There are more than 40 counties in Langya County, and there are more than 280 martial arts students in each class, but only a few can get such a recommendation.
"Hehe, I was wrong before. I didn't expect you to have such a thing. I'm afraid they will suffer a loss."
Su Hong smiled and quickly returned the things to the two of them: "
"Put your things away. Come with me. If you don't understand anything, feel free to ask me."
The two of them had nothing to bring with them, so they followed Su Hong. As for the disciples who were teaching the skills, the surrounding Iron Crown Sect disciples had already dispersed.
The fragrant pink lotuses, the cranes as white as snow, the quiet and distant incense... and the beautiful palaces and pagodas all gave the two of them a novel feeling.
Yang Ji took a breath. Smelling the fragrance of lotus flowers in the pool and listening to the turbulent sound of the waterfall in the distance, he felt extremely calm in his heart.
"By the way, I'm curious, how do you know that we are the martial arts students of the imperial court? Apart from us, there seem to be other people in the sect with other backgrounds."
Walking on the clean and tidy stone road, Yang Ji suddenly said.
"Haha. It's very simple. Can you mistake the tiger and the cat?"
Su Hong said.
Yang Ji smiled bitterly, this metaphor really made him unable to even refute.
"joke."
Su Hong smiled and said quickly:
"Newcomers born in Wu Tongsheng will be somewhat proud in their bones. After all, being able to stand out from thousands of people is quite remarkable. After staying in the mountains for a long time, you can actually see all of this."
Yang Ji nodded. The living environment creates each person's temperament. What Su Hong said is correct.
"Now that I have mentioned this, I will simply mention the things on the mountain to you. These things involve the disciples who are teaching the technique, and ordinary leading disciples will not tell you."
Su Hong said.
Yang Ji immediately pricked up his ears. Although Su Hong didn't say it clearly, being able to challenge a disciple like Xie Lou obviously meant that her status was not low.
The things that senior disciples of this level come into contact with and the news they tell are definitely different from ordinary disciples.
Duan Gang said nothing, but he also pricked up his ears:
"You may have heard them mention it before, that is, within the sect, the elders do not teach martial arts. Of course, you can want to see the elders. If you just want to talk and chat, as long as the elders are free, that is totally useless.
Problem. But that doesn’t mean you can gain anything from the elders.”
"Everyone joins the sect to practice and improve their strength. The elders are also the same, and they even value it more than us. So they need a lot of time to practice, smelt elixirs, and refine weapons... For this reason, every
Each sect has a large number of disciples who teach martial arts on behalf of the elders, so that the elders can have a lot of time to practice."
"Of course. There is no free lunch in the world, and no one is willing to do anything that is not beneficial. Even the elders explain it the same way. Therefore, there are still benefits to being a disciple of Qigong. At least it is worth the bloodshed of all the disciples.
"
"In the sect, there is an unwritten rule. That is, the disciples who teach the skills must be the strongest. At least they cannot be worse than the people they teach. For this reason, the first disciples who teach the skills may be personally designated by the elders.
But it was completely different later on. Sometimes, even the elders couldn’t figure out the exact list of disciples who were teaching the exercises.”
"...However, the rules are the rules, and the disciples who teach the skills must be the strongest. This is an iron rule. Even the elders cannot change it."
…
Su Hong said in detail.
"All the sect rules you, Xie Lou, Zhang Li and the others talked about before are this, right?"
Yang Jiruo said thoughtfully.
"Hehe, you understand well."
Su Hong smiled sweetly:
"That's right. It's not possible originally. However, since you can get the full recommendation of the imperial court, according to the rules, there is no need for assessment once you enter the sect. You will immediately become a formal disciple and have the qualifications to challenge the disciples who teach the skills. This time Xie Lou wants to
Cry, his position and rewards will all belong to you."
"That guy Xie Lou always uses his status as a disciple to teach the martial arts and bullies the registered disciples below him three times and twice. In fact, the people below have complained for a long time. Just like the disciple just now, I can't stand it anymore. It's just a hindrance.
Since we all have the status of disciples who are passing on the martial arts, and we also care about the face of our senior sister, we cannot deal with them. - It is actually very troublesome for disciples of the same sect to have grudges."
Su Hong said.
"Sister?"
Yang Ji's mind moved and he quickly noticed these three words in Su Hong's words.
Yang Ji had heard them talking about "senior brother" before, and now he heard about "senior sister" again. Almost instinctively, Yang Ji felt that there seemed to be something he didn't understand.
