Old man Pu laughed, but did not answer him immediately. After pondering for a moment, he said, "you go out with me."
Shen Shi was slightly surprised, but he nodded and agreed. Old man Pu turned back and walked. Shen Shi followed him closely. Xu Yanzhi just wanted to keep up. Suddenly, old man Pu waved his hand and said, "girl, you don''t have to follow me."
Xu Yanzhi was stunned, and then he was angry and said, "what can''t I hear?"
Old man Pu walked forward without looking back. At the same time, he said, "because you are stupid."
Xu Yanzhi stamped his feet and stood in the same place, with a look of full of breath. He muttered: "this is not the beginning yet. You can say that I am stupid for a while, and that I am stupid for a while. How can I be my elder martial sister in the future?"
Old man Pu took Shen Shi out of the five elements hall. He didn''t mean to go on a long journey, so he took Shen Shi to the corridor around the five elements hall. It''s lonely here. It''s rare to see a few people inside and outside the huge hall. They walked along the corridor to the front of the hall and made a turn. There was a place full of ancient trees and silence.
A few quiet birdsong came from the woods outside the hall. A wisp of wind blew by, and the tree waves fluctuated slightly, just like the pure land of the world.
Old man Pu walked in front of him with a negative hand. He took a few steps forward. Then he suddenly said, "Shen Shi."
Shen Shi took a deep breath, walked quickly behind him, and said in a low voice, "the disciple is here."
Old man Pu turned to look back at him and said, "now, there''s no need to hide. I heard about you a few years ago, and I ran into you in the sea of books the other day. I think it''s also a chance. So I''ll send someone to call you and understand the five elements in the hall of the five elements. What I want to do is to see how talented you are in the five elements. Is it worth my income? "
Shen Shi dropped his head and said nothing. The corners of his mouth were slightly tight. His hands were hanging at his waist. His hands hidden in his sleeve robe were clenched into fists.
Pu old man showed a faint smile, said: "now it seems that your talent is really good."
Shen Shi''s heart jumped, and a burst of ecstasy passed by. He couldn''t help looking up and looking at old man Pu, but he was a little excited and stammered: "master, I, I..."
Old man Pu gave a tolerant smile, but he put his hand in front of his eyes, and then said, "your talent is very good. I think you''re very agreeable, so I might as well say that I really have the intention to accept you as an apprentice, but before that, there are two things I have to tell you."
Shen Shigong said in a voice, "please speak up. I''m all ears."
"First of all, since I am an elder of the martial arts hall, I have mainly learned five elements in my life. Of course, as a monk, I have both the power of Tao and Dharma. However, I still deviate from the mainstream of cultivation in today''s world." Old man Pu said faintly, "now in the realm of Hongmeng cultivation, you must have a clear idea of the status of the five elements. If you come under my door, you will be more difficult to practice than other monks in the future. The cultivation of various five elements techniques is difficult, and it will consume your mind. Besides, it is likely to be delayed in the improvement of the realm of Taoism, and even slower than monks in the same realm in the improvement of actual combat power. Have you ever thought about these things clearly? "
Shen Shi was stunned, but he didn''t expect that the first thing elder Pu said was to directly explain the disadvantages of the five elements method. For a moment, he was a little surprised.
Old man Pu looked at him faintly, and looked at all the surprised expressions on his face. His face was calm and said, "it''s a long and difficult journey to practice, so this foundation is particularly important. If you choose the wrong way at the beginning, you will get twice the result with half the effort if you want to regret later. It''s not worth it. It''s a matter of your life''s future. Please think about it carefully and then answer me
Shen Shi was silent, but his thoughts were like waves in his mind. All kinds of gains and losses flashed through his mind. However, at this moment, his mood was very clear. There was no ripple between the two choices. In an instant, his mind was determined.
"Disciples are willing to practice in the art hall." This sentence is firm, without hesitation.
Old man Pu gazed at him for a moment, then grinned and said, "well, it''s rare for you to have such a heart. I see." Then, with a solemn look on his face, he said, "but before I officially accept you as an apprentice, there is another thing that you have to do. It''s a test."
He said, with a sense of self mockery, and said, "I don''t know if I''m in a bind."
Shen Shi was puzzled and said blankly, "master, you mean..."
Old man Pu waved his hand and said, "I think you know that I just entered the grand Presbyterian Council a few days ago, but there''s nothing good there. It''s all Well, anyway, as soon as I went to the first meeting to discuss things, I had a quarrel with several other people. "
Shen Shi looks down in silence. The people at the level of the great Presbyterian Council are far away from him. Even if there is a great elder standing in front of him, in his heart, he still feels that those people and things are far away from him.
Old man Pu gave a cold hum. He didn''t look very happy. He took another sip of the wine and said, "so it''s not convenient for your elder martial sister to hear some things. As for you, it''s because it''s related to something, so I''m telling you these things." After a pause, he continued, "to put it bluntly, in the Presbyterian Council, for the sake of selecting the elite disciples for next year''s fourth plenary session, Zhang Jiaozhen and I want to reduce the number of disciples of the aristocratic family, but some of the other elders are fiercely opposed, some of them are mild, but they don''t agree with me very much. It''s just that I have a loud voice, a fierce quarrel, and the prestige of the real person in charge of teaching, so I have barely talked about half of it... "Shen Shi Zheng for a while, way: "half?"
Old man Pu shrugged his shoulders, but there was some helplessness on his face. He said: "he has a big family and a big career. Even if he is the elder martial brother of Zhangjiao, he has more scruples. It''s good to have this. In a word, there will be a little adjustment in the method of selecting disciples in this conference, not to mention it. However, in order to set an example, all the disciples under the yuandanjing elders of the sect who want to be selected into the conference must have a reason to serve the public, or to have a reputation book, or to recognize talents. If they want to recruit new disciples, they need to pass a test in the presence of other elders In short, in the current extraordinary period, we can no longer casually accept a son of an aristocratic family as an apprentice as before, and we can directly recommend him to the fourth plenary session. "
Shen Shi took a deep breath and said, "I understand."
Old man Pu laughed and said, "I quarreled too much at the Presbyterian meeting. It''s a shame to some people. If those people know that I''m going to accept apprentices, they must also know that most of the number of disciples in my name''s Sizheng assembly is yours in the future. I''m afraid they won''t be too polite to you. Of course, I''m not easy to be provoked, old man. I''m afraid they don''t dare to go too far. It''s just that you have to suffer a lot. How terrible? "
Shen Shi''s face was calm and calm. He gave a deep salute and said:
"with you, I can''t die anyway. Apart from life and death, I don''t know what to fear."
Old man Pu was stunned for a moment, then he laughed, patted Shen Shi on the shoulder and said with a smile, "good boy, that''s good!"
However, Shen Shi immediately seemed to think of something. After looking at old man Pu, he asked in a low voice, "well But there is still elder martial sister Xu under your seat. Why do you want to give it to me? "
Old man Pu sighed and shook his head after a moment of silence, but he didn''t answer Shen Shi''s question without saying a word. Shen Shi didn''t dare to ask more when he looked like this. He just hid a question in his heart.
When everything was decided, old man Pu took Shen Shi back to the five elements hall and called Xu Yanzhi to explain the matter briefly. Xu Yanzhi was overjoyed to hear that master really intended to bring Shen Shi in. But then he heard something more like a test. He couldn''t help complaining, but old man Pu didn''t hear it.
In a word, Shen Shi has already stepped into the threshold of the art hall with one foot. As for whether the back foot can smoothly and completely step into the threshold, it depends on the next test. Old man Pu will go to other elders to witness and arrange the test. However, according to old man Pu''s Secret statement to Shen Shi, he has already made arrangements for this matter, so that he can rest assured. Finally, with a bit of cunning color, he even tells Shen Shi with a smile, so that he can practice the water repellent skill well, which will be of great use.
Shen Shi naturally responded one by one, but then he found out that old man Pu specially told him that he could not go down the mountain when all these things came down. What is the status of the elders of yuandanjing? It is absolutely impossible to wait for a disciple of ningyuanjing. So once the elder is asked to see the evidence, he has to test it immediately. If so, he has to wait on jinhongshan Go.
Shen Shi hesitates, but thinks of Ling Chunni and Xiao Hei in the inn in Liuyun city. They have been waiting for themselves for a long time. But how can they give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
For a moment, Shen Shi didn''t know what to do, but he finally agreed to elder Pu Chang and elder martial sister Xu Yanzhi. When he walked out of the five elements hall, he looked at the blue sky outside the hall, the vast sea in the distance, the blue waves at the end of the sea, but he didn''t know who was still waiting?
There was a trace of confusion in his eyes, and Ling Chunni''s figure and appearance passed in front of him. He hesitated a little in his heart. Finally, he turned into a sigh and walked away slowly with a little loss.
In a twinkling of an eye, Shen Shi spent another two days on Jinhong mountain.
The days of waiting are especially hard. Shen Shi is often in a state of uneasiness in these two days, but he can''t tell whether he is waiting for the coming test of the master Pu of the art hall or worried about the woman who is still in Liuyun city?
As soon as she said goodbye, she gently told her that her tender feelings were still around her. If she had been delayed for several days, would she be anxious and worried, and would there be any accident? After all, although the inn was quiet and safe, the beast League was a native of Liuyun. Could she still find her?
A few worries and anxieties made Shen Shi a little restless. In his agitation, he just went out of the cave and went to the viewing platform. All the way along the mountain road to the sea watching platform, he was thinking about whether he wanted to go to the other side of the art hall to have a look, when he suddenly noticed that many Lingxiao sect disciples around were going to a place to see that the direction was where the elixir Hall of the Dan Hall was.
He frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly realized that today was the most important event in Lingxiao sect in recent days, and elder Yunni personally presided over the beginning of the Dan society.
Shen Shi moved a little in his heart. When he looked at the hall of elixir again, his eyes were different. Zhong Qinglu''s figure passed his heart. After a little hesitation, he still stepped forward and walked to the hall of elixir.
