Chapter 17

The brothers followed the elder Fang out of the courtyard. In front of them was a broad bluestone Avenue. They walked along the avenue and passed through an arch and column. They found that in each arch, there was almost the same small courtyard as just now. It seems that this is the living place of Lingyin sect disciples. Not to mention anything else, just from this scale, there are no less than 100 such small courtyards. It can be seen that there are many disciples of Lingyin sect.

Walking out of the courtyard, the brothers knew how huge the Lingyin island was. Looking from a distance, there were eight high peaks at intervals around the big island, towering into the clouds. In the middle was a vast forest. The environment of the whole island was very beautiful, revealing the ancient flavor everywhere.

After walking for a long time, I saw a white arched stone gate at the end of the wide passage, with a diameter of five meters. It is much taller and majestic than the memorial archway of ordinary people. In front of the arched gate, two magic beasts with different shapes and some similar to lions were carved from marble.

As soon as they passed through the arched gate, the brothers held their breath and looked at everything in front of them incredulously.

Here is almost the legendary fairyland.

A huge square, the ground is paved with white marble. It is shining. At a glance, it makes people feel small. White clouds in the distance, like gauze, are floating under your feet. In the center of the square, there are seven giant stone statues placed every tens of feet. It is magnificent, and there is a huge tripod in front of each statue. There is light smoke in the tripod from time to time, and its taste is clear and does not disperse.

"Go here." seemed to understand the two children's thoughts. The elder Fang showed a smile on his face and let them see it for a while before waking them up and moving on.

They looked into the distance. At the end of the square, there seemed to be something shining behind the hazy fog. They accelerated their pace and walked forward.

Gradually, the sound of water came, and they came closer and closer. The clouds, like gentle fairies, gently surrounded them, gradually opened the faint veil and revealed their clear face.

At the end of the square, a stone bridge rises in the air without blocks and piers. One end is built in the square and extends straight and obliquely upward into the depths of white clouds, like Jiao long leaping into the sky, with a proud momentum. There is the sound of water. Under the sunshine, the whole bridge emits colorful colors, such as a rainbow in the sky. It falls into the world. It is gorgeous and beautiful.

Zheng Zizhou and Zheng ZiNuo were stunned.

The elder Fang smiled and said, "come with me." then he stepped onto the stone bridge first.

When they stepped on the stone bridge, they found that there was water flowing down on both sides of the bridge, which was very clear, but the middle part didn't drip. The sun shines on the bridge through the clouds and is refracted by the water flow, so it becomes a gorgeous rainbow.

After walking for a while, the white clouds were getting thinner and thinner. Unexpectedly, they came out of the sea of clouds. Suddenly, they saw that the sky was washed and the blue was as transparent. All around the sky, wide and boundless; There is a vast sea of clouds, gently floating and sinking. When you look at it, your heart is suddenly one wide.

In front of it is the "Lingyin hall" at the top of Qiantian peak.

The green mountains are green and the temple is majestic. The "Lingyin hall" is located at the top of the dry sky peak, surrounded by clouds. Sometimes there are several Rui cranes, which sing and fly over, and can't hover in the air. It's like the spirit of the immortal family, which makes people admire.

Go on and walk through the high stone steps. From a distance, you can see the golden plaque with the words "Lingyin hall". Before arriving at the majestic hall, I saw the door open and the light inside was sufficient. There were two huge gods of "heaven" and "Earth", under which were more than a dozen small red painted tablets, with a solemn bearing.

Before the throne, there were nine people sitting on the main hall, five on the left and two on the right, two in the middle and the front. There was an empty seat, seven men and two women, with dark blue clothes and yellow clothes. It seemed that they were all under the door of Lingyin sect. Although they are tall, short, fat and thin, they all have extraordinary bearing.

As soon as he entered the hall, a solemn and depressing feeling rushed towards him. Zheng Zizhou quickly bowed down and stood behind elder Fang, while Zheng ZiNuo looked around naughtily. All this seemed very curious in his eyes.

"My subordinates brought the Zheng brothers to meet the patriarch." after the elder Fang entered the hall, he bowed and said.

"HMM... elder, please take your seat." a dignified voice came from the back of the hall. Zheng ZiNuo looked up curiously and looked at the old man with a pale hair and a young face sitting on the green wood chair opposite him.

On his left hand was an unusually tall old man who was also wearing a dark blue long shirt, but was very thin and narrowed his small eyes. Under him, there were five middle-aged men. They were tall, short, fat and thin, but they all wore Khaki long shirts. Opposite him sat two middle-aged women, one of whom was about 40, still charming and smiling, The other was a little younger, in his early thirties, with a beautiful appearance and a little cool.

"Plop..." just as Zheng ZiNuo was observing the crowd, Zheng Zizhou suddenly knelt down with his little hand and said respectfully to the people in the hall, "Zheng Zizhou and his brother Zheng ZiNuo paid a visit to your predecessors and thanked them for saving their lives."

When the seven people in the temple, including the patriarch and the two elders around him, saw Zheng Zizhou, they couldn't help but feel a burst of joy and secretly said, "what a piece of jade!"

Tao Wuyang, the first leader of the sect, looked at them sympathetically, waved his hand, held them up with a gentle force and said kindly, "you are welcome, two children. I have heard elder Fang say about your life experience. At the same time, I have sent my disciples to Binjiang city to inquire about you, but there is no effective information."

"Thank you for everything the patriarch and your clan have done for our brothers. Our brothers are weak and have nothing to repay. If we have the ability in the future, we will repay today's kindness!" Zheng Zizhou vowed.

Because Zheng ZiNuo was young, he had not seen such an array since he was young, so he couldn't help feeling a little frightened.

But the people who sat down again saw that although Zheng Zizhou was young, he was able to talk freely and calmly in the face of so many senior experts, and they couldn't help showing their appreciation.

Hearing Zheng Zizhou's words, everyone smiled. Even the cold beauty couldn't help smiling and nodding. If her Kan Shuifeng were not dominated by female disciples, now she would grab the sensible and very talented child under the door with the patriarch.

"Child, how are you going to repay us?" Tao Wuyang asked jokingly. Subconsciously, it is also testing Zheng Zizhou's reaction ability.

"Elder, if you don't dislike our brothers' humble backgrounds and dull qualifications, we are willing to worship you and do our best to contribute to you." Zheng Zizhou replied.

"Ha ha..." Tao Wuyang smiled brightly and said, "Zheng Zizhou, the soul of martial arts is blue. He is 11 years old and has level 14 warrior cultivation. Is that right?"

"Yes!" Zheng Zizhou nodded without much surprise.

"Good! It's really good to achieve such cultivation at the age of 11." Tao Wuyang smiled and nodded, his eyes were full of admiration, then looked at the shy Zheng ZiNuo and said, "Zheng ZiNuo, eight years old, orange martial soul, level 3 of innate soul power, isn't it?"

"Hmm!" Zheng ZiNuo nodded weakly. He was obviously not as good as his brother in this kind of big field response.

***

"Lord Hui, in my opinion, it's better not to let them belong to the same family. They have similar life experiences. If they stay together, every time they see each other, they will think of the past. They are so angry that they are afraid of bad things in the future!" a tall, strong, cold faced and unsmiling middle-aged man got up and said that he is the peak leader of kundi peak.

Thousands of troops, the leader of kundi peak, is the largest peak except Qiantian peak. There are nearly 100 disciples under his sect. His cultivation ranks first among the seven peak leaders, and his speech also carries a lot of weight.

Tao Wuyang looked at the two children, pondered for a moment, and said, "martial nephew Wan is right. They are young and have been greatly changed. We should properly dissolve their resentment. It is really inappropriate for them to live together. Then we need two martial nephews to take them in." he said, and he looked at the people.

"Guild leader martial uncle, the brothers are big and small, and their talents are strong and weak. How can the five senior brothers choose?" the cold and beautiful woman in a light yellow long shirt got up and said that she is Li Qiushui, the leader of Kan Shui peak.

"This..." Tao Wuyang frowned and looked at the five of his highness.

I saw the other five peak leaders, led by thousands of troops, and their eyes fell on Zheng Zizhou almost at the same time. They wandered around and refused to leave, but no one paid attention to their younger brother Zheng ZiNuo.

Talent is extremely important in the way of martial arts cultivation. There is often a saying in the world that genius is better than a hundred years of cultivation. The people of Lingyin sect have a deep understanding of this. When the Lingyin sect was at a dead end, it only relied on an amazing grandmaster. Although he was young, he was gifted. He broke the ancient scrolls of his predecessors and his accomplishments were far better than those of his predecessors. It made a small Lingyin sect vibrant and prosperous. Now it is the leader of the sect in the world.

In addition, although it is difficult to find a famous teacher, it is also difficult to find a disciple with excellent talent. Zheng Zizhou has excellent talent and excellent roots and bones. The peak leaders of Lingyin sect naturally took a fancy to him at a glance.

After being quiet for a while, the charming woman beside Li Qiushui, who was also wearing a long yellow shirt and a little noble and rich, got up and said, "in that case, my little sister has a plan. I don't know what to say." this person is Tang Haixia, the leader of Duze peak.

"Oh? Nephew Tang, but it doesn't hurt to say," Tao Wuyang said.

"Hmm!" Tang Haixia first bowed to the patriarch and the two elders, and then said, "Since the two teenagers have different qualifications and the five senior brothers are highly respected, they will not fight for the ownership of the two children, which will not only damage their face, but also hurt the friendship of the senior brothers. Therefore, little sister thinks it's better to turn the choice around and let the two teenagers choose the master. What do you think?"

"This..." the five people looked at each other when they heard the speech. They had been sitting for a long time. They were full of cheeks. They looked like Zhang Fei. The middle-aged man got up and said, "younger martial sister Tang, it has always been the master who chose the apprentice. There is no reason for the apprentice to choose the master. I can't see this plan." this person is the Lord Tianyun of Zhenlei Feng peak.

"Younger martial brother Tianyun, that's not true." a tall, handsome, elegant and dignified middle-aged man got up and said, "Since ancient times, masters have always chosen disciples. That's because most of them are good teachers and meet many disciples. Today, we can take five more people as good teachers for these two children. Now there are many masters and few disciples. Why not try him and let the disciples choose the master?"

"Nephew Feng has a good point. I also think nephew Tang is a good idea. What do others think?" Tao Wuyang touched his long beard and said.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he basically recognized this plan and asked everyone that it was just a guest. How could anyone object? Everyone looked at each other and nodded. Even the sky cloud who had just objected had no choice but to sit down again.

Five peaks show their power

"Well, since all martial nephews have no opinion, then according to nephew Tang's method, two teenagers will choose two of the five of you as masters." Tao Wuyang smiled and continued, "but you can't choose indiscriminately. Do you have any good suggestions?"

"This..." Tang Haixia thought for a moment and stood up again. "Since it's a choice, the five elder martial brothers can each perform a skill. If the two teenagers like you, they will naturally choose you. I don't know how to do that?"

"OK, that's a good idea!" before everyone answered this time, Tao Wuyang and the two elders nodded and agreed. The five people led by thousands of troops looked at each other. They felt that they were being calculated, but they had no choice but to nod.

"Ha ha... I haven't seen your martial nephews show their skills for a long time. Two children, you have eyes. Let's go to the front yard square to watch the performance." Tao Wuyang got up and laughed.

The five shook their heads and smiled bitterly at the speech. They looked at Tang Haixia and Li Qiushui who were laughing. They all walked bitterly behind Tao Wuyang and the two elders. Zheng Zizhou and Zheng ZiNuo brothers were nervous and surprised. They didn't know how to choose later.

On the white marble square, which is half the size of a football field, the seven peak masters lined up. The patriarch Tao Wuyang and two elders stood on the other side with Zheng Zizhou's two brothers. Tao Wuyang said, "let's start the performance now. Each of you five performs one hand. Who will come first?"

The five people gave in to each other. Finally, thousands of troops were the first to stand up and bow their hands to the patriarch and the two elders: "I'll come first!"

"Well, this is the Lord of kundi peak. You two have a good look!" Tao Wuyang explained to the two brothers Zheng Zizhou. It is estimated that Lingyin sect has encountered such an apprenticeship event for the first time in thousands of years. Maybe they have been practicing for a long time. It's too boring. Maybe they want to have some fun on purpose.

Wan Qianjun glanced at the brothers and then said, "I'll show you a set of deep body methods. Look carefully!" with his voice, a blue martial spirit emerged from behind. The height of the sculpture was not far away, and it glittered like the bright moon at night, followed by "whoosh..." The brothers didn't even see anyone. They only found a blue light flash away. The next moment it appeared behind them, which surprised them.

"Good... Awesome!" the so-called watchman who can watch will not watch the excitement. Zheng Zizhou has practiced martial arts for three years after all. Although he can't figure out this profound body method, he also knows that this body method is absolutely good, and the Lord of Wanfeng must be a top expert. He can know from the strong fluctuation of soul power felt by the huge blue soul.

But Zheng ZiNuo didn't feel much at all. The only feeling was how the old man ran so fast, much faster than me.

The other six peak masters, the two elders and Tao Wuyang all looked serious and nodded with admiration. Obviously, from this hand, they also saw that the cultivation of thousands of troops had made great progress.

Next, thousands of troops silently hinted at Zheng Zizhou, and then retreated. Tianyun, the Lord of Zhenlei Feng peak, came up and said, "next, the Lord of this peak will perform, and the two boys will watch!"

It seems that Tianyun is like a rough man who kills a pig, but he is as careful as dust. He is as wise as a fool. He walks up and drinks loudly. The martial spirit behind him emerges. It is also a blue martial spirit, and its height is almost the same as that of thousands of troops. Then he crosses his hands and waves it suddenly. Two blue crescent moon teeth circle a semicircle in the air, and then collide with each other, making a deafening sound. That powerful energy The fluctuation almost made Zheng Zizhou and his brothers fall to the ground, which really scared them.

"This uncle can play magic. It's great!" Zheng ZiNuo thought to himself in surprise, but Zheng Zizhou's heart began to beat violently. He thought to himself, these people are really terrible. It is estimated that their cultivation without the realm of Wuxian has at least reached the realm of Wuhuang. It is incredible that they can cultivate the real body of wusoul. This is really a rare opportunity for me. If I really want to choose a good one among them Teacher, my revenge plan will certainly be realized in the shortest time in the future. I have to keep my eyes open.

"How's it going, boy? Hehe..." after Tianyun performed this move, he took back his soul and passed a knowing look at Zheng Zizhou recklessly.

Then the third man came on. He was bloated and white. At first glance, he looked like boss Chen who sold cloth.

"This is you Ming, the main beam of lihuofeng. You two remember." Tao Wuyang timely introduced.

Seeing the two nodded, Liang Youming walked to Zheng Zizhou not far away. The martial spirit behind him emerged. It was also a shining blue martial spirit three feet tall. Then Liang Youming appeared in front of him with a blue halo and said, "Zheng Zizhou? Come on! Attack me with your strength."

"Attack you? Oh." Zheng Zizhou was stunned when he heard the speech. Then he reacted and urged the soul power in his body. A blue martial spirit also appeared behind him, but it was much weaker. Then he shouted, and the martial spirit behind him was dim and hit Liang Youming's halo.

"Dong..." there was a dull noise, and the cyan halo just showed a faint ripple.

"Ah ah..." Zheng Zizhou was panting with five fists, and his soul power was almost exhausted, but the halo was still motionless.

"How powerful! Hoo..." Zheng Zizhou took back his martial spirit and didn't continue to attack. He was very shocked, but Zheng ZiNuo didn't seem to feel much and was still looking around.

"Well, it's good to know that you are strong. I hope you can enter our lihuofeng. As soon as I see you, I feel very congenial with you. I think I have a fate with you. See what I mean?" Liang Youming smiled proudly.

As soon as Liang Youming's voice fell, "gen peak" advocated Xiren, he stepped out and said, "younger martial brother Liang, you have nearly 100 disciples. If everyone has a fate with you, you have too much fate."

"Ha ha......" hearing the speech, Yu Fengzhu immediately laughed, which made Liang Youming blush. He looked at Zhang Xiren angrily and didn't say much.

Lingyin sect has a long history. Its veins are friendly on the surface, but there is a sense of competition inside. Seeing that Zheng Zizhou has excellent qualifications, no one is sure whether he will be the next ancestor. Moreover, the worst income sect is only a number of disciples, but he will not give other peaks a chance. No one dared to fight for the prestige of Lord Tao Wuyang in his practice. But he said he wouldn't accept it. Where can we miss this good thing? Therefore, the five peak masters tried their best to attract him to their own peak.

"I'm Gen mountain peak. I advocate Xiren and hope to be the master of one of your brothers." Zhang Xiren introduced himself without waiting for the patriarch's introduction.

The two brothers looked at the tall and thin man in front of them and felt that he was very forthright and had a good feeling for him.

"The first several elder martial brothers and younger martial brothers all performed the attack, defense and body method in the martial arts cultivation method, so I'll perform a move to control the crane and catch the Dragon hand." Zhang Xiren said, then gave Zheng Zizhou a wink, then walked forward a few steps, and the blue martial spirit emerged behind him. Although it is very tall, it is slightly inferior to the blue martial spirits in front.

"Ah!" he whispered. Zhang Xiren's face was dignified and his hands pushed out. An invisible electric light was emitted from his palm and shot into the huge incense tripod not far away, which made an incredible scene for the Zheng Zizhou brothers. The huge incense tripod floated in the air with the continuous dance of Zhang Xiren's hands, as if it were not affected by gravity, Slowly float into the air, and then return to the same place.

"Is this still done by human?" Zheng Zizhou was shocked. This method of space control is too clever.

Zheng ZiNuo was also very shocked. Although he didn't know martial arts, one can control the floating of such a huge object across the air, which is beyond the scope of magic.

"This man must be very capable. He should be able to learn a lot from him." Zheng ZiNuo thought in his heart.

"Hahaha... Younger martial brother Zhang is doing well!" that Yushu Linfeng, the very attractive main Feng Qingyun of Xunfeng peak, came up and introduced himself.

Then the blue soul emerged behind him. It gradually narrowed and became a magic flying sword two meters long, half a foot wide and emitting dazzling blue light in the blink of an eye, suspended in front of the wind and clear clouds.

"Get up!" Feng Qingyun waved his hand formula and swayed slightly. He came to the blue magic sword, then "whoosh..." rushed straight into the sky and circled in the air for a week before falling down.

"Immortal!" Zheng ZiNuo couldn't help shouting. Zheng Zizhou was also amazed. For the two children, no advanced body method or powerful attack and defense skill showed any shock, but the flying sword of Feng Qingyun really shocked the brothers. Who doesn't want to fly to the sky and who doesn't want to travel to the sky? It's amazing how quickly Guanshan comes. It seems that Feng Qingyun's grasp of children's psychology is really accurate.

"Elder martial brother Feng is so shameless that he should hum with this skill!" the other four were indignant, but Tao Wuyang could only mutter a few times because he was here.

"Hahaha... It seems that the five martial nephews have made great progress in cultivation. In the near future, we old guys will retire from the mountains and forests." after watching the performance of the five people, Tao Wuyang smiled at the two elders beside him.

"Martial uncle, I'm flattered." the five peak Masters said together.

"Ha ha... Well, don't be modest." Tao Wuyang smiled and turned to continue, "now the five peak masters have made an exception. You two can choose."

"Zi Nuo, have you decided who to choose?" Zheng Zizhou asked in a low voice.

"Well, it's a good choice. Where's my brother?" Zheng zinollo said nervously.

"Er, who did you choose?" Zheng Zizhou asked.

"It's the uncle who looks a little like his father and can fly with his sword." Zheng ZiNuo whispered to Zheng Zizhou's ear.

But the next few people are all first-class experts in the world. Don't talk in such a low voice, that is, the sound of a mosquito flying within 100 meters. As long as they pay attention, they can easily hear it.

At that moment, Feng Qingyun's face changed greatly. Looking at the other four peak leaders, they all looked happy and looked at themselves with some ridicule, which meant that "being smart is mistaken by being smart".

"Hum!" Feng Qingyun snorted coldly, winking at Zheng Zizhou.

Zheng Zizhou also showed bitterness. In fact, his first choice was Feng Qingyun, but he was attracted by his poor brother, so he had to choose another person.

Seeing the look from Feng Qingyun, he could only laugh off, and then swept over the other four peak masters one by one. At first, he excluded Tianyun, the Lord of Zhenlei Feng peak, and you Ming, the main beam of lihuofeng peak, not because their performance was not wonderful, but because their looks were really bad. Imagine a big man who looked like selling pork, even if his accomplishments were higher, For a child, he is still a little afraid, but another leader from the fire peak disgusts him even more, because he looks like boss Chen who sells cloth. Boss Chen is insidious, cunning and hypocritical. He is completely a profiteer, so he is directly excluded. It's also strange that these two people are unlucky. It seems that his natural appearance is also very important.

The remaining two people, one is wan Qianjun, the leader of kundi peak, and the other is Gen peak, who advocates Xiren. Although they are not too prominent in appearance and do not disgust Zheng Zizhou, after comparison, Zheng Zizhou finally decided to choose Wan Qianjun, because in terms of martial spirit talent, Wan Qianjun is indeed one level higher than Zhang Xiren, Cultivation must be high but not low.

"Master, please be worshipped three times!" after making up his mind, Zheng Zizhou took a few steps forward, knelt down directly and kowtowed in front of thousands of troops.

"Hahaha... OK, please get up quickly!" Wan Qianjun laughed three times, stepped forward and reached out to help Zheng Zizhou. He was usually unsmiling, but he laughed surprisingly today. It can be imagined that he was in a great mood to receive Zheng Zizhou, a gifted disciple.

"Master, please accept the disciple's three obeisances!" Zheng ZiNuo saw Zheng Zizhou doing this and learned from him. He knelt down in front of Feng Qingyun and knocked his head.

"Hey... Stealing chicken can't eat rice. It seems that it's just a burden to accept a boy with such poor talent." he sighed deeply, and Feng Qingyun said expressionless, "please come!"

Although the other three didn't get Zheng Zizhou's favor, they didn't accept a burden. They were not happy or sad. They deliberately joked: "congratulations to senior brother Wan and senior brother Feng / Junior brother on receiving an excellent apprentice!"

"Yes, congratulations to the two nephews for accepting the two disciples. Go back and teach them not to insult our Lingyin sect." Tao Wuyang said, nodded to the two children and took the two elders to the hall.

"Congratulations to the patriarch and the two elders!" the seven peak leaders bowed.

After his figure disappeared, there was a sudden burst of laughter in the square
