Chapter 408

The next day.

It was still dark and Luo Qingzhou had already gotten up.

He confessed to Xiaodie, wrote a piece of paper, pasted it on the door outside, and then went out.

That piece of paper said: Study today, no one else will bother you.

Walking all the way, we soon arrived at the south of the city.

After looking around at the intersection, Fang quickly moved forward and entered Alley 18.

Then he put on the mask and became Chu Feiyang.

The door to Dao Mansion has been opened.

The servant is holding a broom and sweeping the leaves that fell last night in the courtyard.

Luo Qingzhou held the copper ring and knocked on the door.

Sister Dao just walked out of the hall. After seeing him, she immediately walked out quickly.

Dao's father also walked out of the hall and looked at the door.

Luo Qingzhou was about to go in to say hello when Sister Dao walked over quickly, grabbed him and said, "Let's go!"

Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment, then she pulled him out and said, "Sister Dao, why don't you say hello to your father? And I haven't had breakfast yet."

Sister Dao let go of his arm and said, "No, let's go."

Luo Qingzhou glanced at the expression on her face and asked doubtfully: "Didn't you ask me to pretend to be your crush? In this case, will your father blame me for being rude?"

Sister Dao sighed and said, "No need to pretend, my father already knows."

As he spoke, he recounted what happened after he left yesterday, and then said: "My dad said that he will beat you once next time he sees you. If you come to me again in the future, just wait at the door and don't go in again. "

Luo Qingzhou: "...Sister Dao, isn't this your idea? Did I hit you?"

Sister Dao suddenly laughed, looked at him and said, "Even if my father is angry again, he will never hit me, he will only hit outsiders."

Luo Qingzhou said speechlessly: "I have been implicated by you, you have to compensate me."

Sister Dao smiled and said: "Okay, what compensation do you want, Luo Jieyuan?"

The corners of Luo Qingzhou's mouth twitched and he said: "Let's talk about going to become a disciple later. How is your master's temper? What should I pay attention to? And what should I do about your senior brothers and sisters? get along?"

Sister Dao thought for a moment and said: "My master has a good temper. He won't beat or scold people for no reason. Just treat him like an elder. As for the others, including me, there are only six people there, one senior sister and one junior sister." , three senior brothers, to be honest, I have only known them for a few days, so I don’t know their personalities, but they are very nice to me anyway.”

Luo Qingzhou asked strangely: "There are only six people? Are they all martial arts masters?"

Sister Dao said: "Six people are already a lot. After all, this is just a Kyoto branch. You are a martial artist, so naturally you have to practice with a martial artist. Except for that junior sister and me, who are in the early stages of martial arts training like you, The others are all in the middle stage of martial arts, and there are two senior brothers who are about to break through to the late stage. As for the disciples who are in the martial arts realm, you may not be able to see them."

When Luo Qingzhou heard this, he looked at her with surprise and said, "Sister Dao, have you also broken through to the martial arts master?"

Sister Dao looked at him indifferently and said, "Why, you are allowed to break through, but I am not allowed to break through? My talent is no worse than yours, and I have a master to teach me."

Luo Qingzhou praised: "Sister Dao is really amazing."

Sister Dao raised her chin slightly, with a small hint of pride on her face.

Luo Qingzhou coughed and said, "Sister Dao, there is actually something I forgot to tell you."

Sister Dao looked at him and said, "What's the matter?"

Luo Qingzhou said: "I am not in the early stage of martial arts, I have already broken through to the middle stage of martial arts."

Sister Dao: "..."

Crossed a street and entered an alley.

Sister Dao suddenly said: "By the way, Chu Feiyang, there is actually something I forgot to tell you."

Luo Qingzhou looked at her, suddenly having an unknown premonition in his heart.

Sister Dao said: "You need to pay money to become a disciple. The first time you need to pay is 200,000 gold coins, and then you need to hand over a mid-level monster to the sub-rudder every month for a total of one year. After one year , you don’t need to pay anything. If you have broken through to the realm of a great martial artist by then, you will be supported by all the cultivation resources of the sect.”

When Luo Qingzhou heard this, he was surprised and said: "Two hundred thousand gold coins? Do you need to hand in an intermediate monster every month?"

Sister Dao said: "Every newly joined martial artist is like this, because no one can guarantee whether you will run away after practicing. After one year, you will have the brand of Lingxiao Sect on your body. If you If you betray your master, other sects and warriors will know that you will have no place in Great Yan."

"It's not too difficult for a martial artist to get one mid-level monster every month. If you can't catch it, you can just pay gold coins."

"Chu Feiyang, the sect provides you with a place to practice, provides you with master's teachings, and provides you with exercises and potions. It will also organize you to go out for trials to earn money, and even take you to compete with other sects. To become famous and so on, I think it’s worth it.”

Luo Qingzhou pondered for a moment and said: "Listening to what Sister Dao said, it is indeed worth it. But Sister Dao, I only have a total of 170,000 gold coins in my body now. I originally had 180,000, but I gave it back to you yesterday. Ten thousand."

Sister Dao said generously: "I can lend it to you, but there will be interest. Thirty thousand gold coins will be returned in one month. You have to pay me back fifty thousand."

Luo Qingzhou said: "Loan shark?"

Sister Dao shrugged and said, "If you don't want to borrow it, then you can find a way by yourself."

Luo Qingzhou couldn't help but said: "Sister Dao just told me now because she saw that I couldn't go back on my word, so I had to borrow it from you, right?"

Sister Dao sneered and said, "I didn't know you were so poor. A mid-level martial artist doesn't even have two hundred thousand gold coins? Even if he doesn't have gold coins, he should still have a few demon pills, right?"

When Luo Qingzhou heard her mention the demon pill, he suddenly remembered that he really seemed to have one.

He quickly took it out from the storage bag, handed it over and said, "Sister Dao, look at it, how much is this demon pill worth?"

Sister Dao took it in her hand, observed it carefully, and said: "An ordinary demon pill can cost up to one hundred thousand gold coins."

Luo Qingzhou said: "One hundred thousand is enough. Do you want Sister Dao? I'll sell it to you."

Sister Dao raised it again, looked at the sun, and said, "I can give you 90,000 at most. I am a middleman, so I still have to make some profit difference."

Luo Qingzhou smiled and said: "It's the first time I've seen such a frank middleman, it's a deal."

Sister Dao glanced at him with a smile and said, "Just think of this ten thousand as a meeting gift for your senior sister."

As he said that, he put it away unceremoniously, then stretched out his hand and said, "Give me another 110,000 gold coins, and I will hand them over to you later."

Luo Qingzhou did not hesitate, counted 110,000 gold coins from the storage bag, and handed it to her.

Now he only has 60,000 gold coins left in his body.

For a martial artist, it is indeed a bit shabby, but sooner or later he will have to go to the Yunwu Mountains to pick nine-leaf grass, and then he can just hunt a few monsters.

Of course, maybe you can also pick up some gold coins like last time.

Passed through the alley and entered another alley.

Sister Dao said: "It's right in front."

Then he stopped again, turned to look at him and said, "Chu Feiyang, take off your mask and let me take a look first."

Luo Qingzhou asked in confusion: "What?"

Sister Dao smiled and said: "If I take a look at Luo Jieyuan's handsome face early in the morning, I feel that I will be in a better mood."

"boring."

Luo Qingzhou continued to walk forward.

Sister Dao grabbed his arm and said, "Just take a look!"

Luo Qingzhou had no choice but to look in front and behind the alley. When he saw no one came in, he took off the mask on his face.

"Tsk, tsk, it's so beautiful."

Sister Dao stared at his handsome face and couldn't help but admire him.

Luo Qingzhou immediately put the mask back on.

Sister Dao sighed and said, "It's really a waste of resources to hide such a beautiful face."

Luo Qingzhou looked at her suspiciously and said, "Sister Dao isn't interested in me, is she?"

Sister Dao sneered, her face full of sarcasm: "Don't be so sentimental, you are a married man, and you are also a pervert. Do you think I am that horny?"

Luo Qingzhou said: "It's very possible."

"whispering sound!"

The two of them continued walking forward.

Soon, they came to a house with a closed door and high walls.

There is no sign in front of the door and no plaque on the door.

"By the way, Chu Feiyang, we can't say that you are a son-in-law later, let alone that you are married. Just say that you are single and there is no one else in the family. Do you understand? Otherwise, according to the regulations, the sect will send someone to check on you. Family situation, and you also need to write down all family members..."

After arriving at the door, Sister Dao quickly gave a few more instructions.

Luo Qingzhou nodded.

Sister Dao thought about it carefully and saw that she had given all the instructions that needed to be given. Then she stepped forward and knocked on the door: "Open the door, it's me, Dao Ling!"

After a while.

The door opened with a creak.

An ordinary-looking girl in black attire stuck out her head and said with a smile on her face: "Why are Senior Sister Dao here so early today?"

Then she saw the young man behind her, and was stunned for a moment. She quickly opened all the doors and whispered: "Senior Sister Dao, is this our new junior brother?"

Sister Dao nodded and introduced: "Chu Feiyang."

Then he pointed at the young girl and said, "Nie Yunrong, you have to call me Senior Sister."

Luo Qingzhou quickly cupped his hands and said, "Senior Sister Nie."

Nie Yunrong smiled and said, "You're welcome, Junior Brother Chu. Come in quickly. Master mentioned you just now and said you might come today."

Luo Qingzhou followed Sister Dao and entered the gate.

Nie Yunrong closed the door again and locked the bolt directly.

The front yard was filled with wooden figures used for martial arts training, sandbags, wooden stakes, etc. Two shirtless men were sweating profusely and boxing.

Sister Dao greeted the two of them and whispered, "This is Senior Brother Feng and Senior Brother Zhang."

Luo Qingzhou bowed his hands towards the two of them.

One of them waved his hand and said, "Let's go see Master first. Master is waiting in the room."

Luo Qingzhou saw that the front yard was not too big, but there was a faint "bang bang" sound coming from behind. Apparently there was another place for martial arts training.

Sister Dao led him through the corridor and came to a small room on the side. She knocked on the door and said, "Master, it's me, Dao Ling."

The voices inside stopped.

"Squeak..."

The door opens.

A tall and thin young man came out of the room, glanced at the two of them, with excitement on his face, and said with a smile: "Junior Sister Dao, come in quickly."

He just nodded slightly to Luo Qingzhou without saying a word and left quickly.

Sister Dao whispered: "That is Senior Brother He, he is about to break through to the late stage of martial arts."

As soon as he finished speaking, a clear voice came from the room: "You, Senior Brother He, made a breakthrough yesterday."

Sister Dao was stunned for a moment, turned her head, glanced at the young man's back again, and then led Luo Qingzhou into the house.

Sitting on a chair in the room was a thin old man wearing a green robe, holding a teapot in his hand and drinking tea at the spout.

This person is Sun Jiang, the elder of Lingxiao Sect.

Sister Dao quickly stepped forward and said, "Master, I brought Chu Feiyang."

Luo Qingzhou quickly bowed and lowered his head and said, "I have met senior."

Sun Jiang was squinting and looking at him up and down. After a while, Fang said: "I heard from Ling'er that you are now at the early stage of martial arts training, right?"

Sister Dao quickly said: "Master, Chu Feiyang has now broken through to the middle stage of martial arts. I haven't seen him for a while, so I only know about it."

"Oh? Are you in the middle stage of martial arts?"

Hearing this, Sun Jiang showed a hint of surprise on his face. He put down the teapot in his hand, looked at the young man in front of him and said, "Come, come closer, I'll take a closer look."

Luo Qingzhou bowed and walked closer.

"boom!"

Unexpectedly, Sun Jiang suddenly punched him in the chest.

Luo Qingzhou immediately folded his arms in Yue Xiongqiang and blocked the opponent's fist with a bang. However, his body suddenly shook and he took more than ten steps back, until he retreated to the corner behind. At this time, Fang stood firm.

At the same time, the places where the two arms met the fists were slightly numb.

The strength of this old man is indeed extraordinary. He can have such power with just one punch while sitting down.

"Yes, judging from the fluctuations in his aura, he has indeed reached the middle stage of martial arts."

Sun Jiang nodded with satisfaction and said slowly: "Feiyang, Ling'er has told me your situation. As long as you sincerely join our Lingxiao Sect, there will definitely be no problem. But after all, you joined my Lingxiao Sect halfway, so for Your requirements may be more demanding than those of others, Ling'er. I should have told you about paying 200,000 gold coins and handing over monsters every month, right? In addition to these, there are also the rules of my Lingxiao Sect. You must not violate what I told you. Finished. Can you do your best to complete the tasks assigned by the sect?"

Luo Qingzhou cupped his hands and said, "Disciple must do his best."

Sun Jiang nodded and said, "Okay, just try your best. You can't be too sure about anything."

Then he said to Daoling: "Pour some tea."

Daoling immediately agreed, went over and poured a cup of tea, handed it into Luo Qingzhou's hand, and said: "Quickly serve the master tea and pay homage."

Then he added, "No need to kneel down, just stand."

Luo Qingzhou took the tea cup, walked forward and bowed to offer tea, saying: "Master, please drink tea."

Sun Jiang nodded, took the teacup, looked at him again, then put it to his mouth and took a sip.

Sister Dao quickly took out two hundred thousand gold coins and placed them on the table next to her.

Sun Jiang explained a few more words and then said: "Feiyang, Ling'er will tell you the rules of our Lingxiao Sect. If you don't understand anything, you can ask her. Today you go to get to know the other senior brothers and sisters first, and then Get familiar with the bad environment here. Starting from tomorrow, come here to practice. Then I will first take a look at your practice and what you are good at, and then plan a suitable practice route for you, which will at least allow you to practice. Take less detours."

Luo Qingzhou said quickly: "Thank you, Master."

Sun Jiang nodded, waved his sleeves and said, "Okay, let's go out."

The two of them excused themselves quickly.

Sister Dao took Luo Qingzhou to the back room first and had his height, body shape and shoe size measured, and explained: "I will make two sets of clothes and two pairs of shoes for you, with the mark of Lingxiao Sect on them. , you must wear it when you go out to do tasks or participate in activities organized by the sect."

Luo Qingzhou asked curiously: "Where is the headquarters of the sect?"

Sister Dao said: "On the green mountain outside the city, we have to go there every festival and sect event."

Luo Qingzhou asked again: "Sister Dao said last time that our Lingxiao Sect is one of the five major sects in Dayan, so what are the other four major sects?"

Sister Dao said: "Jinchan Temple, Qingyun Temple, Huashan Sect, Xianyun Pavilion. Among them, the strength of Buddhism and Taoism is the most unfathomable, but they are also indifferent to the world. They rarely conflict with other sects and never participate. Sect gathering. The Huashan Sect has the deepest conflict with our Lingxiao Sect, and Xianyun Pavilion is also very powerful. They have businesses everywhere in Kyoto, and they make half of the warrior supplies."

Luo Qingzhou was secretly surprised. He did not expect that Jinchan Temple and Qingyun Temple were also among the five major sects.

Sister Dao added: "Of course, this is just the sect on the surface. I heard from my father that there are actually some sects in the dark, and their strength should not be underestimated. The Dragon and Tiger Academy established by the imperial court and the martial arts academies in various places, They are also very strong. Especially the Dragon Tiger Academy has very rich training resources, and Guangzong Yaozu will be reused by the court as soon as he comes out, and he can also get various rights and more training resources."

After Luo Qingzhou listened, he pondered for a moment and said, "Sister Dao, have you ever heard of soul cultivation?"

"Soul cultivation? Isn't it just soul cultivation?"

Sister Dao was stunned for a moment and said: "Of course I have heard that there are soul cultivators in Taoism and Buddhism, as well as Xianyun Pavilion. However, soul cultivators cannot leave the mountain without permission, let alone cast spells casually. There seems to be some agreement , I’m not sure either. Chu Feiyang, why are you asking?”

Luo Qingzhou said: "I seem to have seen soul cultivators in Mocheng. They seem to be able to wield swords, right?"

Sister Dao said: "I heard my father say that soul cultivators can indeed wield swords, but they need to be very powerful soul cultivators. Moreover, the imperial court and the five major sects have regulations that soul cultivators cannot enter the city casually. , or you can't cast spells casually in the city. What you see is probably some rogue cultivators or evil cultivators."

Just when Luo Qingzhou was about to continue asking, there was a sudden "boom" in the backyard.

Sister Dao glanced towards the backyard and said quickly: "Let's go, Senior Sister Yan is practicing in the back, let's go take a look."

Then, she introduced him to the names of the others one by one.

"The eldest brother is called He Yang. He is the one who just came out of the master's room. He is now in the late stage of martial arts. The second brother is called Feng Yunsong, who is in the middle stage of martial arts. He is the taller one in the front yard just now. The third brother is called Zhang Yuanshan, who is also in the middle stage of martial arts. , you also saw her just now. The junior sister is called Nie Yunrong, who is in the early stage of martial arts. The fourth senior sister who just opened the door for us is called Yan Mei, who is in the middle stage of martial arts..."

Then he smiled and said, "Junior brother, I am your fifth senior sister, no need to introduce me, right?"

Luo Qingzhou couldn't help but sigh: "When I was in Mocheng, I thought the level of martial arts was already very powerful. When I came to Kyoto, I realized that there were already as many martial artists as...ahem, there are so many martial artists."

Sister Dao smiled and said: "Mocheng is too small, there are almost no training resources, and few martial arts masters are willing to go there."

Sister Dao told him carefully about the rules of Lingxiao Sect.

Luo Qingzhou remembered them all one by one.

When he arrived at the backyard, he discovered that the martial arts training ground in the backyard was larger, almost as big as a football field.

There are all kinds of martial arts training tools on the field.

Many of them he had never seen before.

In the west corner, a young woman wearing black attire was waving the iron rod in her hand fiercely.

I saw her moving left and right, flashing back and forth, her figure was very fast, and she was surrounded by dense shadows of sticks.

A strong wind swirled around her, as if she was riding the wind.

Sister Dao introduced in a low voice: "Senior Sister Yan practices iron rods. The iron rods are made of special materials, and powerful runes are added to them. Even if they are touched by some indestructible swords, they will break or break. . If an ordinary person is hit by that iron rod, he will be turned into a pulp."

Luo Qingzhou looked at it for a while, and suddenly thought of the dark wooden stick on his body.

His wooden stick was also very tough. Even the ancient ferocious beast Zhu Yan had his fingers broken after being hit by the stick. I don't know who is tougher compared to Senior Sister Yan's iron stick.

Want to try it later?
