Chapter forty-one
Jingyun Martial Arts Court, Upper Court.
The upper and lower houses are in the same courtyard, but there is a huge difference!
There are thousands of disciples in the Xiayuan, and anyone who has money can go in to learn martial arts. There is no other requirement except for the monthly quota limit, which is extremely relaxed.
However, if you want to be promoted from the lower court to the upper court, you must break through the siege among thousands of disciples and compete for the title of the top ten disciples to be qualified to go further.
The number of disciples in the upper court has never exceeded 100, but the environmental conditions are stronger than that in the lower court.
The entire courtyard is built on Qingmang Mountain, with many pavilions and towers and palaces hidden among the lush forests. The floating cloud stone platform is used as a martial arts field, which clearly has a bit of the style of a sect and sect.
The upper courtyard also has seventeen villas for the chief of the chief of the school and the elders of the masters and elders, and also to entertain guests and distinguished guests.
The person Wei Changfeng wanted to find lived in one of the villas called "Qingyuan Xiaozhu".
According to the regulations of the Martial Arts Academy, disciples of the lower court cannot enter the upper court area without the permission of the master.
Fortunately, Wei Changfeng was a deacon disciple of the Library Pavilion, so he successfully passed the inspection of the warriors of the Martial Arts Court, and under the guidance of the latter, he found the Qingyuan Xiaozhu Villa, which was halfway up.
What surprised him was that five or six young men and girls were kneeling outside the door of Qingyuan Xiaozhu. They were clearly dressed as disciples of the upper courtyard, and they didn't look like they were making mistakes and begging for mercy.
Are everyone having itchy knees, and it’s comfortable to kneel here?
Wei Changfeng was very surprised and puzzled, and couldn't help but take a few more glances.
When these disciples of the upper courtyard saw Wei Changfeng appearing on the path leading to the gate of Qingyuan Xiaozhu, their eyes showed different expressions, such as surprise, contempt, mockery, and even dissatisfaction.
But none of them spoke, nor did they stand up from the cold and hard bluestone.
Wei Changfeng only felt strange, but he was not scared and walked straight to the gate of the other courtyard.
He reached out and knocked on the closed door.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
After a while, I heard someone ask inside, "Who is it?"
The sound is crisp and delicate, and it is clearly a young woman.
Wei Changfeng hurriedly said, "Wei Changfeng, a disciple of the library deacon, ask to see Master Dongfang!"
The female voice asked again, "What's the matter?"
This question made Wei Changfeng a little difficult to answer, but he had to answer: "I want to learn swords, so I came to ask Master Dongfang for advice."
In Jingyun Martial Arts Academy, martial artists from Qi Condensation Realm are responsible for teaching disciples of the lower academy, and masters from the innate realm are responsible for the disciples of the upper academy, but they will also give lectures on martial arts to all disciples in the martial arts lecture hall.
It is not impossible for the disciples of the lower court to get guidance from the master and elder. They either have outstanding talents or are closely related, or they spend a lot of money to ask for help.
However, this Master Dongfang Caibai is obviously different from other elders. Wei Changfeng and the other party have no relatives and no reason, and the former does not speak martial arts in the martial arts academy, so they can only ask for a visit.
"Ha!" "Idiot!" "Overbial!" "Overmine your own abilities!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a low sneer came from behind, all full of ridicule.
There was no reply in Qingyuan's small building for a long time.
Wei Changfeng suddenly realized that he might have made a mistake. He came to him rashly when he didn't know enough about Dongfang Caibai. This time he probably was turned away.
But it would be wrong to just turn around like this. No matter whether the other party sees you or not, you will have to wait for a result.
He waited for half a stick of incense!
Squeak ~
A side door was opened next to it, and a pretty and cute little face was revealed. Her big black eyes blinked and said to Wei Changfeng: "Come in with me!"
Wei Changfeng was immediately relieved of amnesty and quickly walked into the Qingyuan Small Building by the side door.
However, the disciples of the upper yard who were still kneeling outside the door were all very surprised, especially the embarrassed faces that had previously ridiculed Wei Changfeng.
But Wei Changfeng would not care about their faces. He was attracted by the unique scenery of Qingyuan Xiaozhu.
The size of this villa is not very large, but the architectural layout inside is wonderful. The houses, tiles and pavilions are arranged in an orderly manner, and there is no feeling of incongruity based on the height of the mountain.
There are towering trees, strange flowers and plants in the small building, and a clear spring flows. Several white cranes are looking for food by the pond. They are not at all panic when they see Wei Changfeng coming.
The young maid who led Wei Changfeng in was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old maid. She took Wei Changfeng to a loft with light veils and carved beams and painted buildings, and said, "You are waiting here..."
The maid walked up the stone steps to the attic, and there was a girl in red dress in front of the door.
The latter looked at Wei Changfeng, whispered a few words to the maid, and then the two disappeared at the door together.
Since he came, he would be at ease. When he arrived here, Wei Changfeng calmed down and waited patiently.
This time he didn't wait long.
After only a moment, a cold voice came from the attic: "Did that old madman Ouyang Feng ask you to come?"
Oops!
Wei Changfeng suddenly felt something was wrong.
First of all, he did not expect that Dongfang Caibai was a famous woman, and secondly, the other party and Ouyang Feng obviously had no friendship!
He gritted his teeth and said, "It's because my disciple wants to learn swords, it has nothing to do with Master Ouyang."
"snort!"
Dongfang Caibai snorted coldly and said without hesitation: "It must be the old crazy man who instigated him!"
After a pause, she continued, "You are practicing the Fire Physics, which is not in line with my swordsmanship. You go back!"
"Xiaoyu, see off guests!"
Wei Changfeng's heart suddenly became cold.
He did something embarrassing to beg for nothing, so he could only follow the maid named Xiaoyu and leave Qingyuan Xiaozhu without any gain.
After going down the mountain and returning to the lower courtyard, Wei Changfeng's heart was so upset that he could not get rid of it, so he simply went to the library.
Wei Changfeng felt that he seemed to have been cheated by Ouyang Feng this time. If this old guy couldn't say anything, he would have to let the latter suffer a little.
This is not Wei Changfeng's arrogant attitude. Although his strength is definitely far less than Ouyang Feng, it is still easy to move his hands and feet when applying needles to remove evil spirits.
"Haha, have you been to Qingyuan Xiaozhu to find Dongfang Caibai?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as I saw Ouyang Feng, the old guy asked with a premonition of his smile: "Has he been rejected?"
Wei Changfeng said angrily: "Senior, are you sincere?"
Ouyang Feng said seriously: "If you want to learn swords, Dongfang Caibai is the best choice. She is a true disciple of the Yunhaishan lineage. She can give you two tricks and is ten times better than those guys with a reputation!"
Wei Changfeng smiled bitterly and said, "But she said that my practice of Fire Physics is incompatible with her swordsmanship."
"Excuse!"
Ouyang Feng sneered: "What you really want to learn is the foundation of the authentic swordsmanship in Xuanmen, but she is not her master's master's skills. What does it matter if the swordsmanship is in harmony? It's just that your sincerity is not enough!"
Not enough sincerity!
Wei Changfeng was speechless.
He had already understood that the disciples of the upper courtyard outside the Qingyuan Xiaozhu Gate were all kneeling down to beg for the master to show their sincerity, which was enough to show Dongfang Caibai's weight in their hearts.
And what sincerity can he show if he wants to impress Dongfang Caibai?
Identity and status? Don’t even think about it, the identity of the deacon disciples is shocking ordinary disciples in the lower court.
Dongfang Caibai allowed him to go in and say a few words, which was already very considerate.
Silver and money? That's even more unreliable. Let's not talk about how much money he can take out. If the money is really useful, why would those disciples of the upper yard with extraordinary backgrounds kneel outside the other yard?
After thinking hard for a long time, a sudden flash of inspiration in Wei Changfeng's mind.
He has an idea!
"Thank you for your advice, I will say goodbye first!"
Ouyang Feng touched his sparse chin and said meaningfully: "To seize the opportunity, this person may not stay in Jingyun Martial Arts Academy for a long time. If he can get her favor, you will benefit endlessly in the future!"
Wei Changfeng vaguely felt that the crazy elder had something in his words, but he couldn't tell what it was. He could only treat it as a kind advice, nodded and bowed and left.
Leaving the Martial Arts Court, Wei Changfeng returned to Jingyun City.
He searched all the medicine shops of all sizes on the main street, and finally went to Sihai Pavilion. Finally, he found all the ingredients he needed, and at the same time spent a lot of money on the silver notes he carried with him.
After the purchase was completed, Wei Changfeng returned to his home.
"Brother, do you still need soup tonight?"
The two sisters were very happy to see him, and Wei Xiaoying even said, "I can order firewood stoves by myself now!"
Wei Xiaoyu then shouted, "I will, so will!"
Wei Changfeng touched their heads and said, "Xiaoying and Xiaoyu are the most obedient, but my brother doesn't need to practice martial arts tonight. You all should rest early!"
It is not easy to take a dragon and tiger soup to wash and refine your body, and to be responsible for adding water and firewood. The two sisters are very young but are very sensible, which makes him feel a little more guilty.
Wei Changfeng made a decision in his heart. When the life-and-death duel with Hao Xiong ended, he would have to make some money to buy a decent house no matter what.
You know, he has agreed to let Xiaoying and Xiaoyu live a princess-like life!
"It's boring..." Wei Xiaoying pouted in disappointment.
Wei Changfeng smiled.
Recently, he has been busy practicing martial arts and mental skills, and he has less and less time at home, and he has no time to spend with his two sisters.
Perhaps it was because of this that Xiaoying and Xiaoyu couldn't help but feel a little tangled when she saw him.
But he didn't feel headache or trouble, but instead felt a very warm and comfortable feeling.
Murong Wan said, "Don't quarrel with your brother, you're going to wash your hands and prepare for dinner!"
Since Wei Changfeng gave a sum of money, the Wei family's food and clothing are not a problem now. When Wei Changfeng suddenly returned home, Murong Wan was able to prepare a table of delicious dishes.
After dinner, Wei Changfeng returned to his room.
He took out the palm-in-hand tripod he had purchased from Sihai Pavilion and prepared to open the tripod and refine the alchemy!
