In the early morning, Su Xing drove the white crane to Yuyang Peak.
This was the first time he came to Yuyang Taoist Temple to attend classes after he resumed his status as a Taoist disciple.
As usual, after walking through the familiar yet unfamiliar forest road, the shadow of the Taoist Temple gradually appeared in the field of vision.
Now is the time for students to clock in for class, so just looking from a distance, you can see many people at the door preparing to enter.
Su Xing walked quickly and followed the steps of others into the Taoist temple and into the lecture hall.
And when he just stepped into the lecture hall, he noticed an unusual atmosphere.
He pretended to move leisurely and had no expression on his face, but he glanced around the lecture hall with the corner of his eye.
After this inspection, the problem was discovered.
I don’t know when, everyone sitting in the lecture hall began to focus on themselves.
"Could it be that... everyone still doesn't want to believe that Zhou Yue's death has nothing to do with me?"
Su Xing's heart sank, and he thought of this naturally.
At this moment, a male voice came from beside him.
"Are you Su Xing?"
Su Xing suddenly turned his head, looked at the male disciple who made the sound, and nodded awkwardly.
But who would have expected that this man who looked to be the same age as Su Xing looked excited and said in a very passionate tone:
"You were the one who defeated Feng Yuan from Xuanguang Taoist Academy!?"
Su Xing nodded again.
Immediately, there was an uproar in the lecture hall, and the faces of all the disciples showed expressions of worship and admiration.
Only then did Su Xing know what was going on.
It turns out that he didn't attract people's attention because of Zhou Yue's incident, but because he defeated Feng Yuan yesterday.
At the same time, there were already many voices of praise for Su Xing in the lecture hall. Although most of these praises were whispers among disciples, they still made Su Xing feel a little bit affirmed by his peers for the first time in his life.
Excuse me.
He smiled awkwardly, scratched his head, and found a corner where no one was sitting and sat down.
But who would have thought that as soon as he sat down, several disciples not far away immediately stood up and sat down around him.
"Junior Brother Su, although Feng Yuan is also a new disciple, his kung fu is pretty good. How did you defeat him?"
"I heard that Junior Brother Su has already comprehended the unity of man and sword? If I remember correctly, Junior Brother, you have only started for four months. This speed may have already broken the record of our Taoist Academy!"
Among the crowd, there were inevitably some disciples who were higher than Su Xing but had not yet mastered the integration of man and sword, and they spoke enthusiastically.
The emotions of the disciples are actually very easy to understand. Feng Yuan and Su Xing were disciples who entered the sect at the same time. But now, Feng Yuan is vulnerable in front of Su Xing. Isn't it a sideways proof that Yuyang Taoist Academy is better than Xuanguang Taoist Academy?
Strong?
This also made the disciples who had always been the losing side feel proud, so they were very curious about the normal process of the competition.
And just when Su Xing was surrounded by water and didn't know how to speak when faced with the questions that came one after another, a strong and gentle cough came from the podium.
Everyone looked back and realized that the lecturer Du Jia had been standing on the podium at some point.
Du Jia put his hand to his mouth and coughed twice, indicating that it was time for class.
Everyone immediately returned to their seats in despair, and the lecture hall quickly became quiet.
Seeing this scene, Du Jia first glanced at everyone, and finally set his sights on Su Xing.
He said: "Everyone has heard about the martial arts competition yesterday. Su Xing returned to our Taoist Academy after two months. Not only did he defeat Feng Yuan, but he also represented our Taoist Academy and occupied the top spot on the earth rankings.
The third seat.”
"Although you only entered the Taoist academy half a year or a few months earlier than Su Xing, you can be regarded as his senior brothers and sisters in terms of seniority. Su Xing was unjustly accused of practicing in Xiaozhu Peak for two months, but you have been enjoying the Taoist temple.
Excellent treatment. I hope everyone will work harder in the future and strive to enter the local rankings like Lin Qi, Zhou Qinghan and Su Xing."
When Du Jia mentioned something called the Dibang, the eyes in the lecture hall looking at Su Xing became a little more adoring.
"Okay, let's start today's class now. If you are interested in Su Xing, you can talk to him after class."
As he spoke, Du Jia opened a bamboo slip and began to talk about today's lesson.
…
After Du Jia corrected the sword-wielding postures of every disciple except Su Xing outside the Taoist academy, the one-day course came to an end.
After it was over, Du Jia looked at the sun that had not set in the sky, counted the time in his heart, and estimated that there was still some time before the date, so he walked to Su Xing's side.
"Do I need to register for the demon-slaying event in two months' time?"
Du Jia's words made the disciples who had not dispersed on the side prick up their ears.
When Su Xing saw Du Jia walking up to him, he first bowed and then said, "This disciple is interested in participating, but I heard that there will be an internal election within the Taoist Academy next month. I don't know whether he will be selected in the end."
.”
Du Jia smiled when he heard this, "Then I will sign up for you first. As for next month's election, you probably won't have many competitors. As long as you perform as usual, there should be no problem."
Du Jia then explained a few more issues about kendo practice to Su Xing, then turned around, hummed a little tune, and left with his hands behind his hands.
At this time, there were still a few figures standing vaguely next to Su Xing, as if they were waiting.
Seeing Du Jia leaving, these figures immediately walked to Su Xing's side.
Su Xing looked around and found that the man and two women beside him were his senior brothers and sisters who were in class with him.
Several people greeted each other first, and then the three people expressed their intention to come.
It turns out that these three people only entered the sect a quarter earlier than Su Xing, but half a year later, they have not even found the threshold for the unity of man and sword. After hearing about Su Xing's great achievements yesterday, he thought
Let me ask this young junior brother, what is the unity of man and sword?
"What exactly is the union of man and sword?"
Su Xing was startled when he heard this question. If he really wanted to pursue it, he didn't realize the integration of man and sword just by relying on his own talent.
Liu Yuexi's help to him was indispensable in this process.
After thinking about it for a moment, he remembered what Liu Yuexi once said to him.
"If you want to understand the unity of man and sword, it is important to first find your own sword heart."
Su Xing followed the picture in his mind and said in his own words: "I think brothers and sisters should first focus on thinking about why they drew their swords, drew their swords, and swung their swords."
"After I figured out the meaning of my sword, when I held the sword again, I felt that I and the spiritual sword gradually became one. That is probably the threshold for the union of man and sword."
Su Xing's words seemed to be a revelation, causing the three of them to freeze on the spot for a moment, looking thoughtful.
Seeing their appearance, Su Xing did not leave in a hurry, but stood there waiting for their reaction.
After a while, the three of them woke up one by one, and immediately looked at him gratefully.
"Listening to my junior brother's words is better than studying for ten years!"
The male disciple bowed his hands to Su Xing, and his respect for Su Xing deepened on his face.
The other two female disciples also did not hide the look of admiration on their faces, and there was even a sense of separation in their eyes.
Su Xing smiled modestly, and the four of them walked towards the square on the mountain peak while talking and laughing.
Arriving at the square of Yuyang Peak, Su Xinggang finished saying goodbye to his three brothers and sisters, and was about to whistle to call a white crane, but unexpectedly, a very familiar voice suddenly came.
"Junior Brother Su, congratulations on your return to the Taoist Academy!"
Hearing this voice, the corners of Su Xing's eyes immediately jumped, his eyes suddenly became cold, and an unforgettable chill immediately spewed out from his tense body in all directions.
