  Chapter 408 Apprenticeship to Ling Xiaozong, the five great sects of Great Yan

  The next day.

  It was still daylight, and Luo Qingzhou had already gotten up.

  He explained to Xiaodie, wrote a piece of paper, pasted it on the outside gate, and went out.

  The paper said: Study today, don't bother idlers.

   Walk all the way, and soon came to the south of the city.

  Looking around at the crossroads, Fang quickly stepped forward and got into Eighteenth Lane.

   Then he put on the mask and became Chu Feiyang.

  The gate of Dao Mansion has been opened.

  The servants were holding a broom and cleaning the fallen leaves in the courtyard last night.

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

  Sister Dao just came out of the hall, and when she saw him, she walked out quickly.

  Father Dao also walked out of the hall and looked towards 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 froze for a moment, and was pulled out by her, saying: "Sister Dao, don't you want to 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 in doubt: "Didn't you ask me to pretend to be your friend? If so, will Daddy you blame me for being rude?"

  Sister Dao sighed, and said, "Don't pretend, my father already knows."

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

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

  Sister Dao suddenly laughed, looked at him and said, "Even if my father gets angry again, he won't hit me, he will only hit outsiders."

  Luo Qingzhou said speechlessly: "I was implicated by you, you have to make it up to me."

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

The corner of Luo Qingzhou's mouth twitched, and he said, "Let's talk about going to apprentice later. How is your master's temper? What should I pay attention to? And your brothers, sisters, etc., what should I do?" get along?"

Sister Dao thought for a while, and said: "My master has a good temper. He won't beat and scold people for no reason. Just treat him as an elder. As for the others, including me now, there are only six people, 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 treat me very well anyway.”

  Luo Qingzhou asked strangely: "Are there only six people? Are they all martial artists?"

Sister Dao said: "Six people are already quite a lot. After all, this is only a branch in Kyoto. You are a martial artist, so naturally you have to practice with a martial artist. Except for that junior sister and me, who are just like you at the initial stage of a martial artist. The others are mid-stage martial arts masters, and two seniors have almost broken through to the late stage. As for the martial arts disciples, they are all in another courtyard, so you may not necessarily see them."

  Hearing this, Luo Qingzhou looked at her in surprise and said, "Sister Dao, have you also broken through as a martial artist?"

  Sister Dao looked indifferently, glanced at him and said: "Why, you are allowed to break through, and I am not allowed to break through? My talent is not inferior to yours, and I have a master to teach."

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

  Sister Dao raised her chin slightly, with a little 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 an early stage martial artist, I have already broken through to the middle stage of a martial artist."

  Sister Dao: "..."

  Cross a street and enter an alley.

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

  Luo Qingzhou looked at her, and suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Sister Dao said: "You need to pay money to learn from a teacher. For the first time, you need to pay 200,000 gold coins, and then you need to pay a mid-level monster for the sub-helm every month. It will last for a total of one year. After one year , you don’t need to hand in anything, and 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.”

  Luo Qingzhou was surprised when he heard it: "200,000 gold coins? Do you still need to pay a mid-level monster every month?"

Sister Dao said: "Every new martial artist is like this, because no one can guarantee whether you will run away after training. After a year, you will have the brand of Ling Xiaozong on your body. If you If you betray your sect, other sects and warriors will know that there will be no place for you in Dayan."

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

"Chu Feiyang, the sect will provide you with a place to practice, teach you from your master, provide you with exercises and potions, 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. So I think it’s worth the expense.”

Luo Qingzhou pondered for a while, and said: "It's really worth listening to Sister Dao. But Sister Dao, I only have 170,000 gold coins in total. I originally had 180,000 gold coins, but I gave them back to you yesterday. Ten thousand."

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

  Luo Qingzhou said: "Usury?"

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

  Luo Qingzhou couldn't help but said: "Sister Dao just told me now, seeing that I can't go back on my word, I have to ask you to borrow it, right?"

  Sister Dao sneered and said: "I didn't know you were so poor. A mighty middle-stage martial artist doesn't even have 200,000 gold coins? Even if he doesn't have gold coins, he should have a few demon pills, right?"

  Luo Qingzhou heard her mention the demon pill, and suddenly remembered that he really had a demon pill.

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

  Sister Dao took it in her hand, observed it carefully, and said: "Ordinary demon pills, up to 100,000 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'll give you 90,000 at most. I'm a middleman, and I still need to make some difference."

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

  Sister Dao glanced at him with a smile, and said, "Take this ten thousand as your gift to Senior Sister."

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

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

   Now that he is full body, there are only 60,000 gold coins left.

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

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

  Cross the alley and enter another alley.

  Sister Dao said: "It's just ahead."

   Immediately stopped, turned to look at him and said, "Chu Feiyang, take off the mask, let me take a look first."

  Luo Qingzhou asked doubtfully, "Why?"

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

"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 around the alley, and when he saw no one came in, Fang took off the mask on his face.

   "Tsk tsk, it's so pretty."

   Sister Dao stared at his handsome face, and couldn't help admiring him.

  Luo Qingzhou immediately put the mask back on.

  Sister Dao sighed and said, "It's a waste of money to hide such a pretty face."

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

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

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

   "Tch!"

  The two continued to walk forward.

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

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

"By the way, Chu Feiyang, you can't say that you are a son-in-law, let alone that you are married, but that you are single and there is no one else in the family, you know? Otherwise, according to the regulations, the sect will send someone to check on your The family situation, and you have to write down all the family members..."

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

  Luo Qingzhou nodded.

  Sister Dao thought about it carefully again, and seeing that she had given all the instructions she needed, she stepped forward to knock on the door and said, "Open the door, it's me, Dao Ling!"

   After a while.

  The door opened with a "squeak".

  An ordinary-looking girl in a black dress poked her head out and said with a smile on her face, "Why did Senior Sister Dao come so early today?"

   Immediately, she saw the young man behind her, was taken aback for a moment, quickly opened the door, and said in a low voice, "Senior Sister Dao, this person is our new junior brother, right?"

  Sister Dao nodded and introduced: "Chu Feiyang."

   Then pointed to the girl and said, "Nie Yunrong, you should call me Senior Sister."

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

  Nie Yunrong smiled and said: "Junior Brother Chu, you are welcome, come in quickly. Master just mentioned you, saying that you might come today."

  Luo Qingzhou followed Sister Dao and entered the gate.

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

  The front yard is full of wooden figures for martial arts, sandbags, wooden stakes, etc., and two shirtless men are punching profusely with sweat.

  Sister Dao greeted the two of them, and said in a low voice, "This is Brother Feng and Brother Zhang."

  Luo Qingzhou cupped his hands at the two of them.

  One of them waved his hand and said, "Go see Master first, Master is waiting inside."

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

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

  The voice inside stopped.

   "Squeak..."

  The door of the room opens.

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

  He just nodded slightly to Luo Qingzhou, did not speak, and left quickly.

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

  As soon as the words were finished, a clear voice came from the room: "Your Brother He already broke through yesterday."

  Sister Dao froze for a moment, turned her head, and took another look at the young man's back, Fang led Luo Qingzhou into the house.

  On the chair in the room, sat a thin old man in a green robe, holding a teapot in his hand, drinking tea from the spout.

   This person is none other than Sun Jiang, the elder of the Lingxiao Sect.

  Sister Dao hurried forward and said, "Master, I brought Chu Feiyang here."

  Luo Qingzhou hurriedly bowed his head and said, "I've seen you, senior."

  Sun Jiang was squinting, staring at him and looking up and down. After a while, Fang said: "Listen to Linger, you are now at the beginning of martial arts, right?"

  Sister Dao hurriedly 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 just found out."

   "Oh? Is it mid-term martial arts?"

  Sun Jiang heard the words, with a look of surprise on his face, put down the teapot in his hand, looked at the young man in front of him and said, "Come on, come closer, the old man will take a closer look."

  Luo Qingzhou bowed and walked closer.

   "Boom!"

  Unexpectedly, Sun Jiang punched him in the chest suddenly.

Luo Qingzhou immediately folded his arms on his chest and blocked the opponent's fist with a "bang", but his body was shaken suddenly, and he backed up more than ten steps in a "bang babble" until he reached the corner of the wall behind, Fang stood firm.

  At the same time, both arms felt slightly numb where they met the fist.

  The strength of this old man is really extraordinary, he has such power when he just sits down and punches casually.

   "Yes, judging from the fluctuation of breath, it is indeed the middle stage of martial arts."

Sun Jiang nodded with satisfaction, and said slowly: "Feiyang, Ling'er has told me about your situation. As long as you sincerely join my Lingxiao Sect, it will be fine. But you joined my Lingxiao Sect halfway, so you are right Your requirements may be harsher than those of others. Linger should have told you to pay 200,000 gold coins, and pay monsters every month, right? Besides these, there are also the rules of my Ling Xiaozong, You must not violate it. You must finish what I entrusted to you. You must also try your best to complete the tasks assigned by the sect. Can you do all of these?"

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

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

   Immediately said to Dao Ling: "Pour tea."

   Daoling immediately agreed, went over and poured a cup of tea, handed it to Luo Qingzhou, and said, "Hurry up and offer tea to Master."

   Then he said: "You don't need to kneel, just stand."

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

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

  Sister Dao quickly took out 200,000 gold coins and put them on the table next to her.

Sun Jiang explained a few more words, and Fang said, "Feiyang, Ling'er will tell you about the school rules of our Lingxiao Sect. If you don't understand anything, you can ask her. Today you go to get to know other senior brothers and sisters first, and then Familiarize yourself with the bad environment here. From tomorrow, you can come to practice. At that time, I will first look at the exercises you practice and what you are good at, and then formulate a suitable cultivation route for you. At least you can Take less detours."

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

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

   The two quickly left.

Sister Dao took Luo Qingzhou, went to the back room first, had someone measure his height, shape and shoe size, and explained: "At that time, I will make you two sets of clothes and two pairs of shoes, with Ling Xiaozong's mark on them , you must wear it when you go out to do missions or participate in activities held by the sect."

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

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

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

Sister Dao said: "Jinchan Temple, Qingyun Temple, Huashan Sect, and 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 in them. Sect gathering. The conflict between Huashan Sect and our Lingxiao Sect is the deepest, Xianyun Pavilion is also very strong, and they have business everywhere in Dayan. Half of the warrior supplies in Kyoto are made by them."

  Luo Qingzhou was secretly surprised. He didn't expect Jinchan Temple and Qingyun Temple to be one of the five sects.

Sister Dao said again: "Of course, this is only the sect on the bright side. According to my father, 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 schools around The strength is also very strong. Especially the Dragon and Tiger Academy, the cultivation resources are very rich, and they will be reused by the court as soon as they come out. Not to mention Guangzong Yaozu, they can also get various rights and more cultivation resources."

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

   "Cultivating the soul? Isn't it just cultivating the soul?"

Sister Dao was stunned for a moment, and said: "Of course I have heard that there are soul cultivators in both Taoism and Buddhism, as well as Xianyun Pavilion. But soul cultivators are not allowed to go out of the mountain without authorization, let alone cast spells casually. It seems that there is some agreement , I don’t know too well. Chu Feiyang, why are you asking this?”

  Luo Qingzhou said: "I seem to have seen soul cultivators in Mocheng. They seem to know how to control swords, right?"

Sister Dao said: "I heard from my father that soul cultivators can indeed control swords, but they need strong soul cultivators to do so. Moreover, the court and the five major sects have regulations, and soul cultivators cannot enter the city casually. , or you can’t cast spells in the city casually. What you see is probably some casual cultivators or demon sect cultivators.”

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

  Sister Dao glanced at the backyard, and said quickly: "Come on, Senior Sister Yan is practicing in the back, let's go and have a look."

   Immediately, she introduced the names of other people to him one by one.

"The elder brother is called He Yang, the one who just came out of the master's room, and 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, and the one in the front yard is taller just now; the third brother is called Zhang Yuanshan, who is also in the middle stage of martial arts. , You have seen it just now. The junior sister is called Nie Yunrong, who is in the early stage of martial arts, and the one who opened the door for us just now. The fourth senior sister is called Yanmei, who is in the middle stage of martial arts..."

   Then he smiled again: "Little brother, I am your fifth senior sister, so I don't need to introduce it?"

  Luo Qingzhou couldn't help sighing: "When I was in Mocheng, I thought that the realm of martial arts masters was already very powerful. When I came to Kyoto, I realized that there are already as many martial arts masters as...cough cough, there are so many martial arts masters."

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

  Sister Dao carefully explained Ling Xiaozong's rules to him.

  Luo Qingzhou memorized them all.

   When he came to the backyard, he found that the martial arts training ground in the backyard was even bigger, almost comparable to a football field.

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

  Many he had never seen before.

  In the corner to the west, a young woman in a strong black suit is waving an iron rod in a fierce move.

  I saw her moving left and right, flashing back and forth, her figure was extremely fast, and there were dense stick shadows all over her body.

  A gust of wind swirled around her, as if she was walking against the wind.

Sister Dao introduced in a low voice: "Senior Sister Yan is practicing with an iron rod, which is made of special materials, and powerful runes are added in it, even if it is touched by some indestructible swords, it will break immediately. .If ordinary people are swept by that iron rod, they will be turned into meat directly."

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

  His wooden stick was also very tough. Even Zhu Yan, the ancient beast, suffered a blow and his fingers were broken. I don't know who is stronger against the iron stick of Senior Sister Yan.

   Shall I try it later?

   It’s too late to come back, it’s gone tonight, I’ll make it up tomorrow
