The voice was not loud, almost weak, but it could be heard from the top of the mountain to the ears of everyone at the foot of the mountain.
After Zhang Yuwen heard this, he whispered to Lin Binhai: "The leader knows!"
Lin Xiaodong stopped, turned around, and grinned at Lin Binhai.
Lin Binhai raised his head with bared teeth, glanced at Lin Xiaodong unwillingly, and waved impatiently: "Come in!"
Fifth junior brother Xie Wenlun shook his head at Lin Xiaodong: "Follow me."
Lin Xiaodong followed up the mountain and looked up, seeing a corner of the hall sticking out of the poplar forest.
"You are lucky. When you were born, you saved thousands of years of hard work compared to others."
Xie Wenlun also had a bad tone.
Lin Xiaodong replied: "I didn't think so long term."
Xie Wenlun snorted contemptuously: "Practice has no time, and thousands of years pass by. Everything must be planned in the long term.
You are very lucky. You have a good horoscope and you are in the right sect. Your future is limitless."
"However, our Lingquan sect has strict rules. You are just a registered disciple now. When you get to the mountain, you must seize the opportunity, study hard and abide by the precepts and rules. Talent is only one aspect, character is the most important!"
Xie Wenlun's words were full of disdain and arrogance. Lin Xiaodong could not hold back his temper: "Thank you, teacher, for your teaching!"
Lin Xiaodong was taken to the Taoist Temple Courtyard. There was a spring pool in the courtyard, with tinkling spring water and rising mist.
"Teacher, people are brought in."
Xie Wenlun came to the door and raised his hands.
The voice of Taoist Laiquan came from the room: "Let him come in."
"Go in, meet the leader, and learn to speak better."
Xie Wenlun waved.
Lin Xiaodong entered the room and glanced around. There was a low futon table in the hall, and behind the table sat a white-haired old Taoist, who was Linquan Taoist.
"Student Lin Xiaodong has met the leader."
Lin Xiaodong handed over his hand.
Linquan Taoist slowly opened his eyes and looked at Lin Xiaodong. The look in his eyes suddenly became sharp for a moment. He could see his eight-character talent and the pure water energy in his body. He also saw that there was a golden light in the sea of consciousness on his Lingtai, but it was shining brightly.
What exactly it is, I can’t tell.
"Since you possess Xuan Kung, why did you join our Lingquan Sect again?"
Taoist Linquan closed his eyes again.
Lin Xiaodong cupped his hands and said, "This disciple has a grudge against the Huoyun Sect, so he came here to avoid trouble."
Taoist Linquan opened his eyes a little: "Did you save my daughter?"
"yes."
Lin Xiaodong nodded.
After a moment of silence, Taoist Linquan said: "In that case, you can stay. However, I want to remind you that no matter how talented you are, you have to work hard to achieve success. If you have the ability, you must be cautious and do not bully others.
You went up the mountain to learn the Tao, and the grievances and grudges at the bottom of the mountain are just the past, remember?"
"Students keep this in mind."
Lin Xiaodong handed over his hand.
"Go ahead."
Taoist Linquan closed his eyes again.
After leaving the room and the courtyard, Lin Binhai stopped Lin Xiaodong and asked coldly: "What did the leader tell you?"
Lin Xiaodong couldn't stand Lin Binhai's attitude that everyone owed him money, so he said expressionlessly: "I didn't say anything."
"What do you mean you didn't say anything?
When I asked you to come in, the leader didn’t say a word?"
Lin Binhai is aggressive.
Lin Xiaodong stared straight at Lin Binhai and said, "I didn't say a word."
Lin Binhai pursed his lips and gritted his teeth and nodded: "Okay, I'm a good boy, just wait!"
Lin Xiaodong snorted: "I'll wait."
Lin Binhai turned around and left angrily. A boy came and took Lin Xiaodong to his room. It was an extremely simple bedroom with nothing except a bed, table, futon and wardrobe. Fortunately, it was a single room.
The senior brother was so angry at Lin Xiaodong that he angrily went to find the fifth junior brother. The two were whispering in the corridor.
Lin Binhai lowered his voice, glanced around, and whispered: "This Lin Xiaodong, we have to find a way to get rid of him."
Xie Wenlun and the senior brother thought of something, and whispered: "I think so too! With him here, my nephew may not be able to become a second-generation disciple!"
Lin Binhai already had a plan in mind and said with a sinister grin: "This kid has a bad temper. Sooner or later he breaks the rules of the sect. I can send him away at any opportunity."
"Even if we can't drive him away, if we don't teach him his true skills, he will naturally become an outer disciple if he fails the annual exam. With him being so arrogant, he will definitely leave in anger."
After hearing this, Xie Wenlun smiled slyly, raised his head and gave a thumbs up: "Wonderful -" Senior brother and fifth junior brother prepared a plate of good food for Lin Xiaodong. Lin Xiaodong also knew that this place would not be peaceful, but for him, this sect was not peaceful.
It's just a place to sleep, I don't care.
The next morning, as soon as the bronze bell rang, Xie Wenlun came to the corridor and shouted: "Get up, get up! Today the master teacher will teach you personally, don't be late!"
Lin Xiaodong finished washing up, put on the sect's Taoist robes, tied up his hair in a bun, looked at himself in the mirror, and couldn't recognize him for a moment.
When he came to the corridor, he turned around and closed the door, and suddenly he heard a female voice calling him: "Lin Xiaodong?"
Lin Xiaodong looked back and saw that the person living in the next room was actually Pan Xiaoxing, who was also wearing the robe of a registered disciple.
"Is it you?"
Lin Xiaodong was very happy to finally meet an acquaintance.
Pan Xiaoxing said happily: "That's great, I thought my father wouldn't accept you!"
Lin Xiaodong sneered: "Some people don't want to accept me."
"Then the two of us will be classmates from now on!"
Pan Xiaoxing pushed Lin Xiaodong with her elbow.
Lin Xiaodong wondered: "Aren't you the daughter of the leader? Why are you a registered disciple?"
Pan Xiaoxing blinked: "I just came up the mountain too, and the daughter of the boss can't go through the back door."
Lin Xiaodong smiled: "That's it..." At the end of the corridor, Xie Wenlun saw Lin Xiaodong and Pan Xiaoxing chatting, and urged: "Stop chatting, hurry up! Go to Funing Hall! What do you look like when you are procrastinating and lazing!"
A group of freshmen hurried to Funing Hall.
Taoist Linquan was sitting behind the incense table. There were ten futons placed in the hall. Yesterday, he accepted a total of ten registered disciples. It is planned to select five second-generation formal disciples through a year's inspection, and the other five who were eliminated will either go down the mountain.
Or become an outer disciple, that is, a handyman.
Five first-generation disciples were waiting aside. According to seniority, Pan Xiaoxing was the sixth junior sister, but she was too young, so she was simply merged into the second-generation disciples.
In the first lesson, some basic knowledge of spiritual practice was taught, which was what Lin Xiaodong needed to understand most. He listened very carefully, while the others, who had more or less basic knowledge, either rushed to answer or yawned.
After Linquan Taoist gave his lecture, it was Lin Binhai's turn to speak. He came up to the stage and said solemnly: "There are ten registered disciples in total, divided into two classes: A and B."
"Class A, Pan Xiaoxing, Xie Shengbin, Lin Xiaodong, Guo Chuxiu, Cao Hongchang."
"Class B, Duan Yiyang, Quan Bindou, Gao Yijin, Yang Quaangang, Shi Pingying."
He said that these two classes were randomly assigned, but he was not randomly assigned. Class A, Pan Xiaoxing, the daughter of the headmaster, Xie Shengbin, the nephew of the fifth junior brother, Lin Xiaodong, both have perfect horoscopes, and the remaining two are also extremely talented.
They obviously came prepared, but Class B was much inferior.
