Zhou Qing said with a smile: "I would like to remind you that after the accommodation is arranged, according to the regulations, you must go to see the first elder as soon as possible. The first elder will give you an explanation for the next arrangements!"
When Lu Chen heard this, he immediately raised his hands and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Zhou!"
"You're welcome. From now on, we are all from the same sect and should take care of each other!" Zhou Qing said humbly and was a very kind person.
Lu Chen turned his head and looked in the direction of the courtyard, wondering: "Is there only one person living in the first courtyard in this courtyard?"
"Isn't that true? The courtyard is very big! Here, we call it the Elder's Courtyard. There are many elders of the sect living in it. There are dozens of them. When you go to visit, you must keep a low profile. The tempers of those elders are so weird.
Very, very difficult to communicate!" Zhou Qing explained with a smile.
Lu Chen's eyes showed surprise: "Are those elders inside all innately powerful?"
"That's not true. Most of these elders are actually at the peak of the acquired world. There are only two elders who have reached the innate realm!" Zhou Qing shook his head.
Lu Chen frowned and looked a little confused: "There are so few innate strong people. Isn't it rumored in the world that Liuyun Sword Sect has dozens of innate strong people?"
Zhou Qing smiled bitterly and said: "You are a little naive. How can it be so easy to cultivate innate strong men? It's just a bluff! Indeed, when the sect was at its peak, there were as many as thirty innate elders, which was a great success.
.However, in recent years, sect disputes have continued to break out at the borders of counties and cities. Many innate strong men have been sent out to guard the borders. Almost every year, innate strong men have died, resulting in a great loss of strength and a gradual decline! Now, it is happening.
It’s worth a troublesome time!”
"So that's it!" Lu Chen nodded thoughtfully.
Zhou Qing added: "Don't underestimate the elders in this courtyard. All of these people are acquired peak masters, immersed in a certain set of swordsmanship, or have reached the pinnacle of achievements in a certain set of palm skills. If you get
Thanks to the appreciation of a certain senior, I am accepted as a closed disciple, and my future is limitless!"
"You can say so!" Lu Chen nodded.
Zhou Qing patted Lu Chen on the shoulder and encouraged: "Junior brother, come on. Although the sect is declining day by day, it is not a great opportunity for us. A good man is ambitious in all directions. If he wants to stand out and return home in glory, rely on
Work hard and fight on your own. The sect is currently lacking a backbone and pillar like the Peerless Sword Master! If one day in the future, we can achieve his achievements, this life will be worth it!"
"Let's encourage each other!" Lu Chen smiled heartily.
"Okay, junior brother, I've finished what Senior Brother Mo asked me to do. I still have something to do, so I'll leave first!" Zhou Qing said to Lu Chen with his hands in hand.
Lu Chen immediately cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Zhou Qing, for taking your time and not seeing me off!"
After watching Zhou Qing leave, Lu Chen turned around and walked into the bamboo house that belonged to him. He gently opened the door and took a look. He found two sets of brand new blue clothes and a linear book on the wooden table.
There are only a few thin pages, and the cover is written with four powerful characters: Sect Order!
Lu Chen put the baggage into the side room, and then took the time to clean up the inside of the bamboo building. After cleaning, he went to the bathroom to clean it up.
The water in the bathroom is drained from the pool on the mountain through hollow bamboo sections. It is clear and sweet, and it is very refreshing and clean when washed.
There are only two or three rooms in the Bamboo House. Although the rooms are small, they are well-equipped, making it very clean and comfortable for one person to live in.
After washing up, Lu Chen took out a delicate and small silver bell from his bag and walked outside the house. It was tied with a string in the right corner. The evening breeze blew and the bell jingled, which was very pleasant. He looked at the magnificent mountains and rivers in the distance.
, making people feel peaceful.
"Wow, Brother Lu has such a leisurely attitude. He hangs a bell in the corner of the house, isn't he afraid of being noticed by someone?" At this time, Qu Qingyang walked out of the house, happened to see this scene, and couldn't help teasing.
"You can take it if you want, I still have it here!" Lu Chen responded with a smile.
Qu Qingyang curled his lips and said: "Tch, I'm so busy playing with these gadgets, I might as well practice sword practice if I have time!"
"You don't understand this. This is called fun. Don't you think the ringtone is very pleasant? It has a very good effect on calming the mind!" Lu Chen joked.
Qu Qingyang yawned and looked listless: "Forget it, I'm not interested in your nonsense at all. What are we going to do next? We finally came to Jianzong, how come we are here now?
, I can’t even see a person in charge!”
"We will go to visit the first elder of our Qinglong Yuan later. Someone will tell us how to arrange it!" Lu Chen tidied up his clothes after packing up.
Qu Qingyang said: "Really, where is Ji Yun!"
"I'm here!" A cold voice came from not far away.
Qu Qingyang screamed strangely: "What are you doing, kid? Why did you get there!"
Looking along Qu Qingyang's line of sight, Ji Yun, dressed in a light blue gown, was sitting on the edge of the cliff silently admiring the scenery. His thin back looked quite lonely!
"Let's go and visit the first master of Qinglongyuan together and see what we plan next!" Lu Chen walked out of the bamboo building and walked slowly towards the courtyard.
"Wait for me!" Qu Qingyang ran over in a hurry.
When a group of three people came to the gate of the courtyard, four disciples in white were stationed on both sides. One of them took the lead and asked, "Who is coming? You guys look very unfamiliar!"
Qu Qingyang took a step forward, cupped his hands and said: "Brother, we are newcomers who have just come to report. We are here to visit the first elder. Please make it convenient for us!"
The disciple in white said: "Show me the badges in your hands!"
When Lu Chen and the other three heard this, they suddenly realized what they were saying. They immediately took out the jade waist badge given to them by Mo Qingfeng yesterday and handed it to the disciple in white.
"Well, it's the Jade Waist Tag. I'll go and report it. Come with me!" The disciple in white took a serious look at the Jade Jade Waist Tag in the hands of the three of them, then nodded and turned around and walked into the courtyard.
"Thank you, please lead the way!" Qu Qingyang grinned, and then walked in with a swagger, hands behind his back. Lu Chen and Ji Yun quickly followed.
After entering the courtyard, the three of them discovered that the environment inside was completely different from the environment outside. There were waterside pavilions, rockery and fish ponds, and various carefully cut potted plants neatly placed around the corridor, which looked pleasing to the eye, such as
The poem is picturesque. In the courtyard, an elegant bluestone path leads directly to the lobby of the inner courtyard.
In addition, this courtyard house covers an astonishingly large area and is divided into dozens of elegant small courtyards, allowing the senators to live very comfortably.
The three of them stood in the lobby and waited for a while. After a while, Shangguan Qingyun led a group of elders to the lobby.
"Are you three the elite disciples who passed the examination yesterday? Please introduce yourself briefly!" Shangguan Qingyun asked, sitting at the top, sipping tea and looking at Lu Chen and the others lightly.
"Yes, I'm Lu Chen. I come from Wushuang City. I just turned nineteen this year!" Lu Chen said with a cupped hand.
"My name is Qu Qingyang, from Baiyu Town. I just turned eighteen this year!"
"Ji Yun, from Hongye City, Tianhe County, is twenty-one years old this year!"
Qu Qingyang and Ji Yun each made introductions!
After Shangguan Qingyun heard Ji Yun's self-introduction, his eyes suddenly flashed with surprise.
"Tianhe County, that is the territory of the Qingyi Sect, why did you abandon the close and seek the far away to join our Liuyun Sword Sect?" At this moment, a strong man with thick eyebrows and big eyes suddenly spoke. He was sitting next to Shangguan Qingyun.
Hearing this, the elders around him all looked at Ji Yun and started whispering, which seemed extremely strange.
Lu Chen and Qu Qingyang looked at each other, looking a little stunned. Ji Yun came from Tianhe County of Qingyi Sect, how could he cause such a big reaction from the elders?
The strong man whispered again: "The Qingyi Sect is in a hostile relationship with our Liuyun Sword Sect. You should know this. I hope you can explain the reason. If not, I will expel you down the mountain immediately!"
Ji Yun lowered his head and said nothing, his brows furrowed, and his expression looked extremely gloomy.
Lu Chen looked at the strong man who spoke. This man was dressed in a black robe with gold threads, with a green dragon embroidered on his chest, and a sharp sword in the dragon's mouth. He was dressed the same as Shangguan Qingyun.
If his guess is correct, this person should be another innate elder of Qinglongyuan. The other elders are all dressed in black robes with silver threads. In terms of status, they are obviously different from these two!
"Qingyun Sect has been constantly sending troops to harass our sect's border in recent years. The lives of the people have become increasingly difficult, and conflicts have become increasingly intensified. Sooner or later, the two sects will face a war. You have spared no effort and traveled thousands of miles to come to our Liuyun
The sword sect practices martial arts, and if you don't want anything else, you are here to spy on information!" The strong man in black robe had an aggressive tone and a very tough attitude.
The atmosphere was awkward for a while. Shangguan Qingyun pondered for a while and said slowly: "Ji Yun, you heard what Elder Lei Hu said. Since you dare to declare your family status, you must have something hidden! Can you give me a reason and explain it?
Your purpose in coming to the Liuyun Sword Sect to practice martial arts is to convince everyone that you are not a spy. You have to know that none of the consequences for coming to my sect to be a spy is a good one."
When people in the lobby heard this, they were instantly shocked. It was a bit of a fuss to judge that Ji Yun's background was impure based on just one birth.
Could it be that the relationship between Liuyun Sword Sect and Qingyi Sect has become so bad?
Ji Yun remained silent, clenching his fists and looking very troubled.
Qu Qingyang whispered from the side: "Ji Yun, please tell me quickly, otherwise it will be too late!"
Lu Chen recalled the scene when he met Ji Yun at the official road that day. He whispered: "Ji Yun, you said that day that sadness is meaningless. Now that you have taken this step, you should act like a man and go to the meeting upright.
To everything!”
Ji Yun opened his eyes wide, and his mind was suddenly shocked. After being silent for a while, he raised his head and gritted his teeth and said: "The reason why I joined the Liuyun Sword Sect is because my parents were plotted against me, and even the person I loved most was killed by Qingyun."
The person who owns the door has taken it away, so I want to take revenge, and I hope the elders can give me a chance!"
Shangguan Qingyun said: "Can you elaborate on it?"
Ji Yun clenched his fists and explained: "My family is located in Tianhe County. My father is the richest man in the area. His name is Ji Chunlai. My mother's name is Zhang Yulian. I was planning to get married to my beloved a few months ago.
, we all got together one after another. But that damn Tianhe County city lord’s son was domineering and lawless. He coveted my family’s property and wanted to take it for himself. Fortunately, my father was resourceful and saw through the other party’s purpose. He led the whole family to escape from the city that night.
However, the other party had a large number of people and was ambushed on the way. No one in the whole family except me was spared! Even the one I loved was taken by someone!"
