Taming the Demon: A Guide to Raising a Great Sage
Chapter 246 245, I, 2 years old, fear sect violence!
Chapter 246 245, I, 12 years old, fear sect violence!
Shen Lang brought two documents and returned to his and Mu Qingxue's new house, and saw a large alchemy furnace with the height of a person in the room, which crowded the room which was not spacious at all, without even a place to stay .
"I have the alchemy furnace, but I don't have time to try alchemy..."
Shen Lang sighed helplessly, put the alchemy furnace into the fine brush space, and found a booklet on the table, which seemed to be the operation instructions written by the elder sister Qin Qing.
Looking at the beautiful and slender characters on the booklet, Shen Lang nodded secretly:
This kind of handwriting is in line with the temperament of the elder sister!
It is much more beautiful than the words written by the second senior sister Chu Lu on the invitation.
Putting away the booklet, Shen Lang sat in front of the window and looked down at the information.
Shen Beihai, who was 12 meters 1.8 in height at the age of [-], was born in a local honorable family. His ancestors were the founding county lords who fought with the Taizu.
Father Shen Beihai also went to northern Xinjiang when he was young, but he was unlucky. When he went out to spy for the first time, he was caught by some northern barbarian masters. Pulling behind the horse, trying to drag him to death.
At that time, Yan Tianying hadn't taken over the Shenchuitang, and hadn't even been promoted to the first rank. He was traveling in northern Xinjiang, looking for barbarian masters to practice in combat. The master of the northern barbarians rescued Shen Beihai's father.
The Shen family is a hereditary noble, and each generation of children still dare to go to the frontier to fight their lives. It is conceivable how the family tradition is, and it is not ungrateful.
Most noble and wealthy families only hate Shencatching Hall, even if they have not been targeted by Shencatching Hall, they will instinctively hate Shencatching Hall because of their background.
The Shen family is different.
The Shen family does not marry noble noble families, and each generation of children loves to marry chivalrous women with good figure, good martial arts, and ordinary family background, and they are not in the same circle as other noble noble families.
He himself behaved righteously and was not afraid of "ghosts coming to his door" from Shenchuitang, so the Shen family has never had any ill feelings towards Shenchuangtang.
After Shen Beihai's father took over the throne, he had a better impression of Shenchuitang.
This time Yan Tianying secretly asked Shen Beihai's father for help, and the other party agreed without saying a word, provided Shen Lang with a full set of procedures to disguise his identity, and even hid the real Shen Beihai and sent him to a place deep in the mountains. The hidden courtyard in the middle.
Before Shen Lang finishes this case as Shen Beihai, the real Shen Beihai will stay in the mountains to study and practice martial arts.
After reading the information about Shen Beihai and the Shen family, Shen Lang opened the information about the Star Death Gate.
As the top sect in the world, "Star Perishing Sect" not only has a strong contemporary background, but also has some backgrounds from its ancestors.
It is the martial arts sect that existed in the previous dynasty. It was already quite powerful in the previous dynasty, and there are third-rank warriors in each generation.
In the last years of the former dynasty, when the world was in chaos, the head of that generation was wise and knowledgeable, and successfully stood in the team. He led his disciples to follow Taizu very early, and earned a lot of credit.
After the Taizu unified the Eastern Land, he rewarded the famous mountain "Nine Immortals Mountain" to Xingdie Gate as the gate.
Not only allowed the Xingfanmen to develop all the resources on the Jiuxian Mountain, but also rewarded the Xingfanmen with a full [-] mu of fertile land at the foot of the mountain——When Da Chu first founded the country, the land was vast and the population was scarce, and there was no shortage of land, but only a shortage of people.
It is said that the plaques on the "Patriarch Hall" of the Star Perishing Gate are all inscriptions written by the Great Chu Taizu himself.
Inherited to the present age, the Star Perishing Sect has become even more prosperous.
Not only the Xiaoqi General Bai Huchan, the second-rank martial arts general who is the commander-in-chief of the imperial army, but also four third-rank warriors in the faction.
Among them, the Great Elder Dugu Wei has a third-rank Dacheng cultivation base.
Yao Sheng, the head of the sect, has already condensed seven out of the nine profound orifices, and is not far from the third rank.
There is also He Xianfei, the law enforcement elder, in the early stage of the third rank.
Daughter of Great Elder Duguwei, Duguxue, the elder of Chuangong, a third-rank entry.
In addition to the four fourth-rank warriors, there are also five fourth-rank masters and seventeen fourth-rank deacons.
After reading the high-level personnel information of "Star Death Gate", Shen Lang couldn't help shaking his head with emotion:
"Except for not having a first rank, there are more third and fourth rank warriors in the Star Perishing Sect than in the God Catch Hall... It is indeed a top school with a long history and success from the dragon!"
After skimming through the other materials of the Star Perishing Sect, Shen Lang closed the booklet and thought to himself:
"As a mere new disciple, investigating the secrets of such a top sect, no one else has any chance at all. But I am different..."
While thinking about how to act.
Familiar footsteps sounded from the outside, and soon, Gu Hongye's voice came from the other side of the room:
"Captain Shen, may I come in?"
"come in."
Gu Hongye lifted the curtain, stepped into the room, and saluted in a dignified way:
"Greetings, Captain Shen."
Shen Lang pointed to the chair opposite, "Sit down and talk."
Gu Hong straightened the chair, sat down facing Shen Lang, and said in a deep voice:
"Boss Shen, for this operation, I will go to the Starfall Gate with you as a bodyguard."
Shen Lang smiled and nodded:
"Master Yan has already told me. However, the Xingdie Sect has strict rules and regulations. I'm afraid you won't be able to enter the mountain gate with me."
Gu Hongye said seriously:
"OK."
Shen Lang wondered:
"Didn't it mean that within the mountain gate, low-level disciples are responsible for all miscellaneous tasks, and even true disciples, including elders, are not allowed to serve maids and servants?"
Gu Hongye smiled and said:
"That's for ordinary people. You are the son of the Hou family in Jianguo County, and you are only 12 years old. You can bring a guard or maid to help with daily life. It's just that guards and maids can only live in the master's residence, and usually only You can move around the outer door and lower courtyard, but you cannot enter the inner door."
Star perishing gate is also divided into outer gate and inner gate.
The new disciples who have just entered the mountain are all outer disciples, they can only live in the lower courtyard at the foot of the mountain, and learn boxing and kicking kung fu from the master to lay the foundation.
One year later, according to each person's root talent and cultivation progress, the best ones will be selected to enter the inner sect, and they can live in the inner sect on the mountainside.
In another three years, select the best and recruit true disciples.
Until one becomes a true disciple, it is possible to be favored by the deacons, elders, and even the head of the fourth rank and above, and be accepted as a direct disciple.
Shen Lang went to investigate cases instead of learning art, so he only skimmed through these rules and regulations, and didn't pay much attention to them.
Only then did I realize that if the outer sect disciples were from good backgrounds and were young, exceptions could be made.
Now shaking his head and laughing:
"Unfortunately, I thought that the rules of the Starfall Sect were so strict that they were unreasonable. It turned out that they still made allowances for some 'special talents'. According to this, the so-called true disciples and elders are not allowed to use servants, maidservants, or slaves. Is it just a rule that no one enforces?"
Gu Hongye smiled and said:
"That's not true. True disciples and elders are indeed not allowed to use foreign servants and maidservants, but they can order low-level disciples at will. Many low-level disciples are willing to be driven by them in order to please the true disciples and elders."
Shen Lang shook his head:
"Using disciples as servants, the style of the Xingdemen Sect is not good!"
In martial arts, the normal master-student relationship is, of course, "the master has something to do, and the disciple does his job".But if the disciple has something to do, the teacher will also be generous.
Among disciples of the same generation, there should be more respect between brothers and sisters, and healthy competition can be regarded as a good family style.
In this way, the disciples will respect and love the teacher from the bottom of their hearts, and they will also have a sense of belonging to the sect from the bottom of their hearts.
When the teacher and the teacher are in trouble, the disciples will rush forward regardless of life and death, instead of thinking of all the evils of the teacher, sighing "the teacher is not worth it", and immediately scatter like birds and beasts.
For example, the chasing style school has a good family style.
As for the style of the Star Perishing Sect, things have changed a bit.
After talking to Gu Hongye about something serious, Shen Lang asked:
"What about Shishi?"
Gu Hongye said:
"She has also left Beijing to handle the case, and it will take at least a month before returning to Beijing."
Shen Lang sighed:
"Once you enter the public sect, you can't help yourself. I don't know how long it will take us to complete the investigation of the case when we go to the Starfall Gate. I hope it can be done before May!"
The first day of May is the day when the elder sister holds a celebration banquet, Shen Lang doesn't want to miss the day.
"Speaking of which, why didn't Headmaster Shen come back today? The three batches of Yujing Temple remnants you were in charge of have all been escorted back to Beijing long ago."
"I rose to the first grade of Taoism on the way, so I found a place in the wild to retreat for more than ten days, and practiced a few Taoisms."
"...Are you at the fourth stage of Taoism?"
"Well, double fourth rank in law and martial arts."
Gu Hongye pursed her lips, remained silent for a while, then stood up suddenly:
"Catcher Shen, can you release the little skull? I want to practice swords all night tonight."
"Okay."
Gu Hongye is so motivated, Shen Lang is of course also pleased, he summoned Xiaogu, let him go out to practice swords with Gu Hongye, he carefully read the information on the Starfall Gate, and started to meditate again.
The case has to be handled, and the practice cannot be neglected.
……
Three days later, on the eighth day of February, at the foot of Nine Immortals Mountain, in the lower courtyard of the "Star Death Gate", on the martial arts training ground.
Shen Lang was dressed in brocade attire, with a jade belt around his waist and a golden crown on his hair. He lined up with a group of eleven or twelve-year-old children to sign up.
Seeing the little girl in front of him looking back at him frequently, Shen Lang couldn't help asking:
"What are you looking at?"
"Uh……"
The little girl snorted and asked in a low voice:
"Are you lining up for your young master?"
The corners of Shen Lang's eyes twitched slightly:
"I am the young master."
"Impossible!" The little girl said firmly: "You are lying! You are clearly an adult!"
Shen Lang snorted coldly, looked down at the little girl, "My lord, my brother is only 12 years old this year."
"..."
The little girl stared at Shen Lang dumbfounded, and only after a while did she say:
"It's wrong to lie..."
Shen Lang put his hands behind his back and smiled proudly, "Sorry, I, Shen Beihai, is known as an honest and reliable young man. I never lie. If I say I am 12 years old, I must be 12 years old."
The little girl stayed there for a long time, then she turned around with her mouth flattened, thinking:
"Big liar...how can you be 12 years old if you are so tall...I am 13 years old and I am only four feet seven inches...It is useless to lie, Starfall Gate can measure bone age, and I will definitely brush you off..."
Shen Lang chuckled:
"Then let's wait and see!"
The registration process for the Starfall Sect is very simple, just report your name, age, and affiliation, and then the deacon will take a bone test, and if you pass the test, you can become a glorious Starfall Sect outer disciple.
The registration process was so simple, it naturally went quickly.
Not long after, it was the turn of the little girl in front of Shen Lang.
"Name?"
"Lin Yao."
"age?"
"13 is old."
"Borrow."
"Heyang Mansion, from Linsang County, my family runs a silk village..."
The inner disciple who was in charge of the registration quickly wrote down the information of the little girl Lin Yao on a bamboo card, and then handed the bamboo card to her:
"Go to the bone."
Holding the bamboo card, the little girl walked towards the two male and female deacons who were in charge of touching the bones with a worried expression on her face.
Twelve or thirteen-year-old children already have gender awareness, so the one who is in charge of touching the girl's bones is the deaconess with a middle-stage fourth-rank cultivation.With her cultivation base, whether she has a foundation in martial arts or not, she can tell with just a few pinches.
Of course, bone age cannot be measured.Measure bone age with a magic weapon.
The little girl Lin Yao's bones seemed to be good. The deaconess squeezed a few times, showing a friendly smile on her face, nodded to Lin Yao, and asked her to stand in the passing queue with the bamboo card.
As for those who didn't pass...
Many children who did not pass are now wiping their tears and walking to the outside of the field to find their parents, and some have been crying for a long time.
At this time, Shen Lang also came to the registration desk, his tall body cast a huge shadow on the desk.
The inner disciple who was in charge of registration raised his head and looked at him in surprise:
"Where's your young master? You have to come in person to sign up, and ask your young master to come here by yourself!"
Well, this guy also queued up for Shen Lang as the acting young master.
The corners of Shen Lang's eyes twitched slightly, thinking that the little girl has no eyesight, so she couldn't see that my outfit was normal.But you are all grown-ups, can't you see that my outfit is the standard outfit for the young master?
Shen Lang stared at the disciple at the moment, and said in a deep voice:
"I'm the young master! I'm here to sign up!"
The inner disciple was startled:
"Are you kidding me? Did you find out clearly? Our Star Perishing Sect is openly recruiting disciples, no one over the age of 14..."
Shen Lang is confident and confident:
"I'm only twelve!"
"..."
The inner disciple opened his mouth slightly and stared at Shen Lang dumbfounded for a while:
"Are you only twelve?"
Shen Lang nodded vigorously:
"Not bad, 12 years old!"
The inner disciple looked at Shen Lang's broad shoulders, thick neck, big thick arms and big chest muscles that held the brocade clothes tight, and then looked at his shaved blue chin, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly:
"You think I'm blind! Your chin is shaved blue and you say you're only twelve? Are you 32?"
Shen Lang was also helpless, Shen Beihai was indeed only twelve, but he was indeed too mature, not only tall and muscular, but also had beards at the age of ten...
But this really wasn't Shen Beihai's sudden mutation, it was the blood of the Shen family.All the men in the Shen family have this kind of virtue.It is said that the ancestors of the Shen family have the blood of ancient giants...
The reason why the Shen family has been passed down for more than 100 years and still has a good family style, and each generation of children still dare to go to the frontier to play their lives is obviously related to this bloodline.
"I'm really only twelve."
Shen Lang didn't bother to argue anymore, took out a document, and slapped it on the table:
"I am Hanjiang Mansion, the county magistrate of Kaiguo, the eldest son of Xiongwei Hou Mansion. My surname is Shen, and my name is Beihai. I am twelve this year. This is the official document issued by the Hou Mansion and Hanjiang Mansion. It has the seals of the Hou Mansion and Hanjiang Mansion. Please check it carefully." If you can't tell the truth from the fake, ask someone with eyesight to tell!"
He took out another copper seal with a tiger's head and threw it on the table:
"This is my seal, look carefully!"
The inner sect disciple looked at the official document and then at the tiger head copper seal. He really couldn't tell the authenticity for a while, so he could only go to the two deacons for instructions.
"Hanjiang Mansion, Duke of Founding County, son of Xiongweihou Mansion?"
The male deacon looked up at Shen Lang:
"This kid said he was only 12 years old? Are you kidding me? That's how he looks, 32 at least?"
The deaconess frowned and thought for a while, then said:
"I seem to have heard a senior who served in the Imperial Army say that the mansion of Marquis Xiongwei has been a giant for generations... The current Marquis Xiongwei seems to be eight feet tall..."
"Eight feet?" the male deacon said, "Isn't that the height of the fierce general in the legendary storybook? Is there really such a tall person in reality?"
"It's rare to see." The deaconess gave him a blank look: "Some giants with alien blood, or even monster blood, once awakened blood power, it is not surprising that the height will rise to ten feet. Of course, such people are rare. Yes. But I heard that the Xiongweihou Shen family seems to have some kind of family secret method, which can awaken ancient bloodlines from generation to generation..."
The male deacon said in surprise:
"So, it's really possible that the kid is only 12 years old?"
The deaconess smiled and said:
"Please take out the magic weapon. If you test it, you will know? If you are only 12 years old, then you are a good seedling. Even if you are a brainless man with well-developed limbs and no understanding, he is worthy of the status of Chongxiong Weihou Mansion." Record the door wall."
Immediately he ordered the inner disciple to bring "Shen Beihai" over, and asked the male deacon to ask for a magic weapon for measuring bone age.
Soon, Shen Lang came in front of the deaconess and bowed his hands together:
"Disciple Shen Beihai, meet the deacon."
"Wait a minute, it won't be too late to salute me after the test is passed."
The deaconess looked at Shen Lang with a smile, and she could tell at a glance that his outfit was not something ordinary local tyrants could afford.
The brocade white gown and the golden crown with hair tied are fine, but the key is the gold silk jade belt around the waist, which has been coiled for many years at first glance.
There is also the dragon jade pendant on the belt. This kind of shape cannot be worn by ordinary officials. It must be bestowed by the emperor to wear it.
Just looking at the jade belt and jade pendant without checking the official documents and copper seals, the deaconess almost believed in the identity of "Shen Beihai".
At this time, the male deacon came over with a wooden box lined with blue velvet.
Inside the wooden box, on top of the velvet, there was a fist-sized crystal ball. The female deacon took out the crystal ball and poured it with true energy. When the crystal ball began to bloom with crystal light, she asked Shen Lang to put her palm on the crystal ball.
Shen Lang did as he said, and soon, the colorless crystal light that bloomed from the crystal ball turned light blue.
The deaconess smiled and said:
"Light blue, which means that the bone age is under 14 years old. Yes, although you look old, you are indeed a child."
Shen Lang cupped his hands and bowed:
"The deacon clearly checked the details and proved my innocence. Thank you, disciple."
The deaconess smiled and said:
"It's the magic weapon that can clearly detect the details. I can touch the bones and test the roots, but I can't tell the age of the bones. Well, since there are no problems with birth and age, it's time to test the bones."
In fact, at the age of 12, he looks like a 32-year-old burly man. This bone can be known without testing, and it must be the same.What's more, Xiongweihou Shen's family still has the blood of ancient giants, even if they are stupid and poor in understanding, it should be no problem to practice hard skills.
At that moment, the female deacon didn't shy away from the difference between men and women, and directly pinched Shen Lang's bones with her hands, first her palms, then her arms, shoulders and elbows.
The more you pinch, the more you will be surprised.
"The Shen family deserves to be of ancient blood. Your muscles and bones are not inferior to fifth-rank warriors who have been trained with specialization and internal strength for a long time! Are you born with supernatural power?"
Covered by the magic talisman personally made by Daoist Wanfa, there is no trace of cultivation on Shen Lang's body, at least this fourth-rank deaconess can't see it at all.
As for the strength of the muscles and bones, there is no way. Under the third-order strengthening of Xiao Zhao and Xiao Gu's feedback, the strength of Shen Lang's muscles and bones is actually not inferior to that of a fourth-rank Dacheng warrior who specializes in horizontal training, and he also has extremely strong magic resistance. .
Therefore, Daoist Wanfa's talisman can only suppress a little, and cannot completely suppress the strength of his muscles and bones to the level of ordinary people.
But then again, the Shen family's bloodline is very different, and the current strength of the muscles and bones is just in line with the Shen family's bloodline.
"The deacon's eyes are as sharp as a torch, and the disciple is indeed born with supernatural powers. He can use a stone lock of a hundred catties at the age of ten, and now he can use a ship anchor of several hundred catties as a meteor hammer..."
Without changing his face, Shen Lang took Chen Yuniang's template and put it on himself.
"It's a good seedling!"
The female deacon squeezed Shen Lang's shoulders hard, then squeezed his chest muscles, and said with a smile:
"You passed! From today onwards, you are my outer disciple of Xingdie Sect! Go over there and wait."
Shen Lang bowed to the deacon, "Thank you deacon. May I ask the deacon's name?"
"My name is Chen Yifei." The female deacon said with a smile, "I'm responsible for managing the lower courtyard of the outer sect. In the future, you can practice in the lower courtyard. If you have any questions, you can ask me."
This woman must have taken a fancy to me, right?
Just now, he pinched my shoulders and chest muscles again, and he was so warm to me...
God, I'm only a 12-year-old kid!
Shen Lang complained in his heart, but remained calm on his face, bowing to Chen Yifei and saying:
"Thank you, Deacon Chen. That disciple will go there first."
After speaking, he walked towards the team of new disciples who passed the test.
Seeing Chen Yifei staring intently at Shen Lang's back, the male deacon reminded:
"Junior Sister Chen, although that kid looks old, he is only 12 years old. You should be a human being!"
Chen Yifei was stunned, feeling the meaning of the male deacon's words, and immediately gave him a hard look:
"What nonsense are you talking about? I just thought he was extraordinary and wanted to take in a personal disciple! He's not as nasty as you think!"
The deacon smiled awkwardly:
"Then what, am I afraid that you will make mistakes, Junior Sister? It's just a reminder..."
Between the two talking.
Shen Lang had swaggered and came to the group of children who passed the test.
These children, the youngest is only ten years old, the oldest is only 13 years old, the tallest is only 1.6 meters, and they are very thin and thin.Looking at Shen Lang, who is 1.8 meters [-] in height, with fists as big as bowls, neck as thick as his head, broad shoulders and strong arms, and chest muscles that prop up his clothes like they are going to explode, the children instinctively backed away. The medium is full of awe.
Lin Yao, the little girl who questioned Shen Lang's age, looked at Shen Lang dumbfounded, and stammered:
"You, you really..."
"Hmph, I told you earlier that I'm only 12 years old!"
Shen Lang smiled coldly, clasped his fists together, and bowed to Lin Yao:
"You are older, and you have entered the ranks earlier than me. From today on, you are my senior sister! Junior brother Shen Beihai, meet Senior Sister Lin! From now on, you must cover me, protect me, and not let others bully me!"
"..."
Lin Yao's pink and tender face was blank, her big black eyes were frozen and dull, her small cherry mouth was slightly opened, and her heart was so messed up that she didn't know her last name.
Shen Lang didn't wait for her to respond, he bowed to the other children and said in a loud voice:
"From today onwards, I, Shen Beihai, will be your junior brother! I salute all the senior brothers and sisters! I was a good boy when I was at home, timid and honest. From now on, everyone can't bully me. You have to cover me, protect me, and treat me politely." .do you understand?"
As he spoke, Shen Lang raised his hands and slowly clenched his fists. When the sand bowl-sized fists were closed, the joints made crackling sounds like firecrackers.
The faces of the children were ashen, and they nodded repeatedly like chickens pecking at rice.
Over there, Chen Yifei watched Shen Lang mingle with his brothers and sisters, and said happily:
"As expected of the eldest son of a hundred-year-old Xungui family, he is impeccable in etiquette, and he is a gentle gentleman."
The male deacon is speechless: Junior sister, do you have any misunderstandings about gentle gentlemen?
sidelines.
Gu Hongye, who was wearing a fiery red outfit, a tunic with a red flame pattern on a black background, a bronze medal for the guards of the Marquis Mansion, and an ordinary long sword in his hand, covered his face with his hands as if he couldn't bear to look straight at him:
Shen Butou, pay attention to your image!
You are the fourth rank of both law and martial arts, the "Cold-Blooded Human Butcher" of the four famous arresters of the God of Catching Hall with a fierce reputation!
How can you compete with children? You...
Of course, there is more than one registration point on the training ground.
There are ten registration points, and registration is accepted at the same time.
And there are only ten deacons in charge of touching the bones, and only three female deacons.
Therefore, Chen Yifei was soon busy touching the bones of the little girl who signed up, and had no time to pay attention to Shen Lang.
At dusk, today's registration is finally over.
Today, only more than 50 new disciples passed the test and were admitted to the outer sect.
As for those who were rejected, there were more than 1000 people. The cries of the rejected children and even their parents turned the foot of the mountain into a mourning hall.
Similar scenes will continue for nine days.
The Star Perishing Sect only opened its gate once every three years, and recruited disciples once. Obviously, it was impossible to recruit more than 50 people and finish the job.
Every time the door is opened to accept disciples, it will last for ten days.
In the end, there may be more than 500 disciples enrolled in the outer sect.Of course, there may be only three or four hundred people.
There will be at least ten thousand people who are brushed off.
In fact, martial arts can be practiced by an individual, of course, what level can be practiced is another matter.So there are some sects that don't pay much attention to accepting disciples, and you can get started by paying money.
The Star Perishing Sect has the burden of a top-notch faction, so of course it is impossible to accept disciples so hastily. Such a strict selection standard is also the secret of the Star Perishing Sect's prosperity from the previous dynasty to the present.
Of course, it is impossible to recruit all the best talents from all over the world to recruit disciples openly every three years.So the Star Perishing Sect also accepts internal recommendations.
Those disciples who have already left their masters can recommend good talents to the sect at any time.
In this way of recommendation, there will inevitably be related accounts.
But it doesn't matter, anyway, the waste materials are thrown to the outer door to fend for themselves, and the real good materials are directly entered into the inner door.
Of course, if it was Bai Huchan, the great general of Xiaoqi, or a disciple recommended by a powerful and wealthy disciple, even if it was an iron waste, the Star Death Sect would accept it as a true disciple.
In short, the care for "special talents" is not exempt from the so-called Starfall Sect, which claims to have strict door rules.
As a "special talent", Shen Lang also enjoyed a little care.
After donating a silver ticket of 1 yuan to Zongmen [reimbursement from Shenchuitang], and promised not to be less than this amount every year in the future, Shen Lang moved into a house with its back against a bamboo forest and facing a stream. A small single-family courtyard with a lotus pond and rockery.
"Ye Honggu", the sword servant of the Hou Mansion who escorted him all the way to Jiuxian Mountain to worship his teacher, was also allowed to live in the small courtyard and take care of his daily life.
And his pets: a little white cat, a little white rabbit, a little red carp, and a little fire crow are all allowed to be brought into the mountain gate.
The deacon Chen Yifei who personally arranged for him to live in this small courtyard also specifically warned him that there are a lot of bears in the lower courtyard, and the small pets must be taken care of, and don't let them run around.
Especially don't run into the collective dormitory of the lower house, there will be hundreds of children living there in a few days, if one of the small pets accidentally falls into the hands of groups of children, the consequences will be difficult expected.
In other words, for the outer disciples recruited by the Star Perishing Sect, in principle, there is no tuition fee for the first year - after one year, if they pass the assessment, they can be admitted to the inner sect, let alone tuition fees.
But if you don't pass, but still want to stay in the outer sect to study art, you have to pay money.
If you have no money to pay, you have to work as a handyman, working part-time and learning art at the same time.
If you fail to advance to the inner sect after three consecutive assessments, sorry, you are really not suitable for the martial arts of the star perishing sect. Go home or go out to wander the rivers and lakes, and find another opportunity.What?Still want to stay in Zongmen?Then you can only keep doing handyman.
Now the outer sect disciples of the previous class have either entered the inner sect or been promoted to the true biography.The ones who were really worthless either went home or went out to make a living, and those who were not reconciled stayed in the door and became full-time handymen.
The disciples of the previous session had all left the Lower Court, and the collective dormitory in the Lower Court was of course vacant.
The free students who did not pay, lived in the collective dormitory.
The few who donated money to the sect like Shen Lang lived in dormitories of different grades depending on the donation amount.
Like Shen Lang, it belongs to the highest level.
Miss Lin Yao's family owns a silk shop and has money, but she didn't donate as much as Shen Lang, so she lived in a small courtyard not far away with two girls who also donated money, but no one took care of her. They live in daily life, and everything has to be done by themselves.
Of course, in this world, let alone a girl of twelve or thirteen years old, even a girl of seven, eight, five or six years old can basically work.
Young sister Lin Yao and the other two young girls, although they were Miss Jiao at home, have come to the Star Perishing Sect to learn from their masters. After learning about the rules of the Sect early, they have also developed the ability to live independently, and there is no problem in taking care of themselves.
Anyway, there is a dining hall for eating, and a big bathhouse for taking a bath, so I just need to do laundry and cleaning.
If you can cook, you can also open a small stove by yourself.
To be honest, if it wasn't for the suspicion of collusion between the Star Death Sect and the Black Lotus Demon Nest, and the unhealthy ethos of elders and true disciples who can drive low-level disciples at will, Shen Lang didn't like it very much. As for today's registration process, Shen Lang was very impressed with Star Death. The first impression of the door was actually not bad.
The senior brothers and sisters are all very cute. Although Deacon Chen Yifei is suspected of taking advantage of others, he is fairly fair in dealing with things and treats others with enthusiasm.
So after settling down in the small courtyard, when there was no one around, Shen Lang said to Gu Hongye who was busy making the bed:
"Before I came, I had some misunderstandings..."
While talking, he looked at Gu Hongye, and saw her kneeling on the bed, bending over to wipe the sheets.
This posture highlights her plump, round and peach-like buttocks to the fullest, making the corners of Shen Lang's eyes twitch slightly, and an evil impulse arises in his heart. He really wants to go over and slap her. Will there be waves.
Shen Lang's eyes are too strong, Gu Hongye is also a fourth-rank mid-stage martial artist, and she can conjure up inspirations at any time. With her current spiritual sense, she has already sensed Shen Lang's undisguised gaze, and she is also very clear about him. Staring at where he is.
However, she only raised the corners of her lips slightly, showing a slight smile. Not only did she not change her posture, but she continued to wipe the smoothed bed sheet unhurriedly, and at the same time bent her waist even lower—she had already married Mu Qingxue Now that she has entered Shen's house, Shen Lang is her "Master", no matter how he manipulates her, it is his natural right.
What Gu Hongye is looking forward to more is that Shen Lang will take over his house, and when he and Mu Qingxue are together in the future, she can go in and serve him in a fair and honest manner!
Of course, when he intentionally or unintentionally seduced Master Shen, Gu Hongye didn't forget to reply and asked:
"What mistake?"
Shen Lang picked up the teacup, moistened his throat, and his eyes still fell on Gu Hongye's waist and buttocks.
On the second night of their wedding, Mu Qingxue worked all night, and he stayed alone in the empty room.In the early morning of the next day, he went out to Beijing to handle the case again, and when he came back more than 20 days later, Mu Qingxue went out to kill Jiao Jiao again, and then he immediately accepted the task and came to the Nine Immortals Mountain to investigate at the Star Perishing Sect...
No vacation, not to mention honeymoon, not even hugging his wife, and not even quenching his thirst to the fullest, in Shen Lang's heart, there is actually a little fire.Right now, Gu Hongye looks like this...
As a fourth-rank martial artist, Gu Hongye's body fat is of course very low.
But her hip line is still upright and plump like an inverted heart, and in this posture, the shoulder-to-hip ratio and waist-to-hip ratio are perfect...
Well, Shen Lang's current body is full of firepower, and he is also a martial arts practitioner. He is full of energy and blood. Sometimes he can't suppress the fire, and it is normal to have some evil thoughts.
But he's also good at restraint.
Now the location is wrong, the timing is wrong, and even the appearance is not his own, of course Shen Lang will not indulge himself easily.
At the moment, silently contemplate the Dharma image of the Great Sun Tathagata, suppress distracting thoughts, and at the same time look away calmly, and said lightly:
"Before I came here, I considered the Starfall Gate as a whole, subconsciously thinking that if I wanted to check the Starfall Gate, I would be facing the entire Starfall Gate...but now I realize that my thinking is biased. "
Sensing that Shen Lang looked away, Gu Hongye rolled her eyes speechlessly, smoothed the sheets quickly, jumped off the ground and began to tidy the quilt, and asked at the same time:
"What do you think now?"
Shen Lang held the teacup and paced back and forth:
"We can't look at the Star Death Gate as a unified whole with the same ideas, same interests, and same actions.
"The sect is made up of many people, unless the upper echelon of the Star Perishing Sect has some brainwashing techniques, the disciples of the Star Perishing Sect, even the deacons and elders will have their own ideas and interests.
"How serious is the crime of colluding with the demon god? Once the evidence of the crime is confirmed, the emperor and even the real people of the royal family can't protect him. Not to mention the biggest backer on the face of Xingde's family, that is, the second-rank general Xiaoqi.
"If you find ironclad evidence that Xingfamen colluded with the Black Lotus Demon Buddha, I can guarantee that the general of Xiaoqi, Bai Huchan, will immediately dissociate himself from Xingfamen and sit back and watch Xingfamen be destroyed. At worst, we will rebuild a new Xingfan in the future The door is.
"Therefore, the collusion with the Demon God must not be the participation of the entire Star Perishing Sect. It must be the actions of a few individuals. Most of the Star Perishing Sect's disciples, even the deacons and elders don't know about it."
Gu Hongye thought for a while and said:
"Even so, if any clues are really found, the upper echelons of the Starfall Sect who have no connection with the Demon God may react in two ways. One is to get rid of it immediately, and the other is to desperately save or even destroy the evidence to protect the sect. Door."
Shen Lang nodded:
"That's true. But as long as we can obtain ironclad evidence and hand it over to Lord Yan, and Lord Yan or Lord Mu will bring the evidence and come to question the crime in an open and honest way, then the choice of Starfall Sect will only be the first one. "
Gu Hongye said:
"However, if the clues are found and the evidence is obtained, but the evidence is accidentally exposed before the evidence is handed over to Master Yan, the Star Death Sect will most likely make the second choice, destroy the evidence, kill us, and then hurry to find Xiaoqi General.
"Afterwards, General Xiaoqi also has two choices. One is to destroy relatives righteously. Those who seize the Xingfan Gate will be sent to the Shenchao Hall to plead guilty to Master Yan. The second is to fully surrender to Qiankun and Bailong to keep the sect. .”
Shen Lang smiled and asked:
"What choice do you think General Xiaoqi will make if this happens?"
Gu Hongye shook her head:
"I don't know. Xiaoqi General Bai Huchan is a low-key person, unlike Hushi General Gu Sansi, there are many rumors of arrogance, arrogance and lawlessness. It is really hard to predict what kind of temperament he will be and what choice he will make."
Shen Lang smiled:
"The great general Hussars is at the border, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and he speaks his mind in the army, and the imperial court needs him to sit in the northern border and fight against the powerful and brutal Mobei barbarians, so he can naturally be arrogant and domineering.
"As for General Xiaoqi, who is in command of the imperial army, he is in the capital. Where is the capital? There are dignitaries all over the place, and there are several first-rank great masters and real people in town. General Xiaoqi can't be arrogant if he wants to. He must keep a low profile, and low key."
Gu Hongye said distressedly:
"But that makes it difficult for us to predict his reaction..."
Shen Lang smiled and said:
"It doesn't matter. If I find the clues and get the evidence, the Star Death Sect has no chance to destroy the evidence, so kill me."
Gu Hongye said seriously:
"I know that you are already at the fourth rank with both martial arts and martial arts, and the cultivation base of the fourth rank is enough to compete with the third rank. But there is more than one third rank in the Star Death Sect."
Shen Lang said:
"Don't worry, I'm sensible. Well, it's getting late, it's time to rest, and I have to get up early tomorrow to practice basic skills."
Gu Hongye slenderly pointed at a strand of hair hanging down to her cheeks, and pointed her best-looking side face at him:
"Master, do you need me to help you warm the bed?"
Shen Lang touched his face:
"Do you think I look right now?"
Gu Hongye stared at his "Shen Beihai" appearance for a while, then suddenly laughed:
"It's really not suitable. It's far less beautiful than yours. Then, I'm going to meditate outside. Call me if you need anything."
[Ask for a monthly ticket~! 】
(End of this chapter)
Shen Lang brought two documents and returned to his and Mu Qingxue's new house, and saw a large alchemy furnace with the height of a person in the room, which crowded the room which was not spacious at all, without even a place to stay .
"I have the alchemy furnace, but I don't have time to try alchemy..."
Shen Lang sighed helplessly, put the alchemy furnace into the fine brush space, and found a booklet on the table, which seemed to be the operation instructions written by the elder sister Qin Qing.
Looking at the beautiful and slender characters on the booklet, Shen Lang nodded secretly:
This kind of handwriting is in line with the temperament of the elder sister!
It is much more beautiful than the words written by the second senior sister Chu Lu on the invitation.
Putting away the booklet, Shen Lang sat in front of the window and looked down at the information.
Shen Beihai, who was 12 meters 1.8 in height at the age of [-], was born in a local honorable family. His ancestors were the founding county lords who fought with the Taizu.
Father Shen Beihai also went to northern Xinjiang when he was young, but he was unlucky. When he went out to spy for the first time, he was caught by some northern barbarian masters. Pulling behind the horse, trying to drag him to death.
At that time, Yan Tianying hadn't taken over the Shenchuitang, and hadn't even been promoted to the first rank. He was traveling in northern Xinjiang, looking for barbarian masters to practice in combat. The master of the northern barbarians rescued Shen Beihai's father.
The Shen family is a hereditary noble, and each generation of children still dare to go to the frontier to fight their lives. It is conceivable how the family tradition is, and it is not ungrateful.
Most noble and wealthy families only hate Shencatching Hall, even if they have not been targeted by Shencatching Hall, they will instinctively hate Shencatching Hall because of their background.
The Shen family is different.
The Shen family does not marry noble noble families, and each generation of children loves to marry chivalrous women with good figure, good martial arts, and ordinary family background, and they are not in the same circle as other noble noble families.
He himself behaved righteously and was not afraid of "ghosts coming to his door" from Shenchuitang, so the Shen family has never had any ill feelings towards Shenchuangtang.
After Shen Beihai's father took over the throne, he had a better impression of Shenchuitang.
This time Yan Tianying secretly asked Shen Beihai's father for help, and the other party agreed without saying a word, provided Shen Lang with a full set of procedures to disguise his identity, and even hid the real Shen Beihai and sent him to a place deep in the mountains. The hidden courtyard in the middle.
Before Shen Lang finishes this case as Shen Beihai, the real Shen Beihai will stay in the mountains to study and practice martial arts.
After reading the information about Shen Beihai and the Shen family, Shen Lang opened the information about the Star Death Gate.
As the top sect in the world, "Star Perishing Sect" not only has a strong contemporary background, but also has some backgrounds from its ancestors.
It is the martial arts sect that existed in the previous dynasty. It was already quite powerful in the previous dynasty, and there are third-rank warriors in each generation.
In the last years of the former dynasty, when the world was in chaos, the head of that generation was wise and knowledgeable, and successfully stood in the team. He led his disciples to follow Taizu very early, and earned a lot of credit.
After the Taizu unified the Eastern Land, he rewarded the famous mountain "Nine Immortals Mountain" to Xingdie Gate as the gate.
Not only allowed the Xingfanmen to develop all the resources on the Jiuxian Mountain, but also rewarded the Xingfanmen with a full [-] mu of fertile land at the foot of the mountain——When Da Chu first founded the country, the land was vast and the population was scarce, and there was no shortage of land, but only a shortage of people.
It is said that the plaques on the "Patriarch Hall" of the Star Perishing Gate are all inscriptions written by the Great Chu Taizu himself.
Inherited to the present age, the Star Perishing Sect has become even more prosperous.
Not only the Xiaoqi General Bai Huchan, the second-rank martial arts general who is the commander-in-chief of the imperial army, but also four third-rank warriors in the faction.
Among them, the Great Elder Dugu Wei has a third-rank Dacheng cultivation base.
Yao Sheng, the head of the sect, has already condensed seven out of the nine profound orifices, and is not far from the third rank.
There is also He Xianfei, the law enforcement elder, in the early stage of the third rank.
Daughter of Great Elder Duguwei, Duguxue, the elder of Chuangong, a third-rank entry.
In addition to the four fourth-rank warriors, there are also five fourth-rank masters and seventeen fourth-rank deacons.
After reading the high-level personnel information of "Star Death Gate", Shen Lang couldn't help shaking his head with emotion:
"Except for not having a first rank, there are more third and fourth rank warriors in the Star Perishing Sect than in the God Catch Hall... It is indeed a top school with a long history and success from the dragon!"
After skimming through the other materials of the Star Perishing Sect, Shen Lang closed the booklet and thought to himself:
"As a mere new disciple, investigating the secrets of such a top sect, no one else has any chance at all. But I am different..."
While thinking about how to act.
Familiar footsteps sounded from the outside, and soon, Gu Hongye's voice came from the other side of the room:
"Captain Shen, may I come in?"
"come in."
Gu Hongye lifted the curtain, stepped into the room, and saluted in a dignified way:
"Greetings, Captain Shen."
Shen Lang pointed to the chair opposite, "Sit down and talk."
Gu Hong straightened the chair, sat down facing Shen Lang, and said in a deep voice:
"Boss Shen, for this operation, I will go to the Starfall Gate with you as a bodyguard."
Shen Lang smiled and nodded:
"Master Yan has already told me. However, the Xingdie Sect has strict rules and regulations. I'm afraid you won't be able to enter the mountain gate with me."
Gu Hongye said seriously:
"OK."
Shen Lang wondered:
"Didn't it mean that within the mountain gate, low-level disciples are responsible for all miscellaneous tasks, and even true disciples, including elders, are not allowed to serve maids and servants?"
Gu Hongye smiled and said:
"That's for ordinary people. You are the son of the Hou family in Jianguo County, and you are only 12 years old. You can bring a guard or maid to help with daily life. It's just that guards and maids can only live in the master's residence, and usually only You can move around the outer door and lower courtyard, but you cannot enter the inner door."
Star perishing gate is also divided into outer gate and inner gate.
The new disciples who have just entered the mountain are all outer disciples, they can only live in the lower courtyard at the foot of the mountain, and learn boxing and kicking kung fu from the master to lay the foundation.
One year later, according to each person's root talent and cultivation progress, the best ones will be selected to enter the inner sect, and they can live in the inner sect on the mountainside.
In another three years, select the best and recruit true disciples.
Until one becomes a true disciple, it is possible to be favored by the deacons, elders, and even the head of the fourth rank and above, and be accepted as a direct disciple.
Shen Lang went to investigate cases instead of learning art, so he only skimmed through these rules and regulations, and didn't pay much attention to them.
Only then did I realize that if the outer sect disciples were from good backgrounds and were young, exceptions could be made.
Now shaking his head and laughing:
"Unfortunately, I thought that the rules of the Starfall Sect were so strict that they were unreasonable. It turned out that they still made allowances for some 'special talents'. According to this, the so-called true disciples and elders are not allowed to use servants, maidservants, or slaves. Is it just a rule that no one enforces?"
Gu Hongye smiled and said:
"That's not true. True disciples and elders are indeed not allowed to use foreign servants and maidservants, but they can order low-level disciples at will. Many low-level disciples are willing to be driven by them in order to please the true disciples and elders."
Shen Lang shook his head:
"Using disciples as servants, the style of the Xingdemen Sect is not good!"
In martial arts, the normal master-student relationship is, of course, "the master has something to do, and the disciple does his job".But if the disciple has something to do, the teacher will also be generous.
Among disciples of the same generation, there should be more respect between brothers and sisters, and healthy competition can be regarded as a good family style.
In this way, the disciples will respect and love the teacher from the bottom of their hearts, and they will also have a sense of belonging to the sect from the bottom of their hearts.
When the teacher and the teacher are in trouble, the disciples will rush forward regardless of life and death, instead of thinking of all the evils of the teacher, sighing "the teacher is not worth it", and immediately scatter like birds and beasts.
For example, the chasing style school has a good family style.
As for the style of the Star Perishing Sect, things have changed a bit.
After talking to Gu Hongye about something serious, Shen Lang asked:
"What about Shishi?"
Gu Hongye said:
"She has also left Beijing to handle the case, and it will take at least a month before returning to Beijing."
Shen Lang sighed:
"Once you enter the public sect, you can't help yourself. I don't know how long it will take us to complete the investigation of the case when we go to the Starfall Gate. I hope it can be done before May!"
The first day of May is the day when the elder sister holds a celebration banquet, Shen Lang doesn't want to miss the day.
"Speaking of which, why didn't Headmaster Shen come back today? The three batches of Yujing Temple remnants you were in charge of have all been escorted back to Beijing long ago."
"I rose to the first grade of Taoism on the way, so I found a place in the wild to retreat for more than ten days, and practiced a few Taoisms."
"...Are you at the fourth stage of Taoism?"
"Well, double fourth rank in law and martial arts."
Gu Hongye pursed her lips, remained silent for a while, then stood up suddenly:
"Catcher Shen, can you release the little skull? I want to practice swords all night tonight."
"Okay."
Gu Hongye is so motivated, Shen Lang is of course also pleased, he summoned Xiaogu, let him go out to practice swords with Gu Hongye, he carefully read the information on the Starfall Gate, and started to meditate again.
The case has to be handled, and the practice cannot be neglected.
……
Three days later, on the eighth day of February, at the foot of Nine Immortals Mountain, in the lower courtyard of the "Star Death Gate", on the martial arts training ground.
Shen Lang was dressed in brocade attire, with a jade belt around his waist and a golden crown on his hair. He lined up with a group of eleven or twelve-year-old children to sign up.
Seeing the little girl in front of him looking back at him frequently, Shen Lang couldn't help asking:
"What are you looking at?"
"Uh……"
The little girl snorted and asked in a low voice:
"Are you lining up for your young master?"
The corners of Shen Lang's eyes twitched slightly:
"I am the young master."
"Impossible!" The little girl said firmly: "You are lying! You are clearly an adult!"
Shen Lang snorted coldly, looked down at the little girl, "My lord, my brother is only 12 years old this year."
"..."
The little girl stared at Shen Lang dumbfounded, and only after a while did she say:
"It's wrong to lie..."
Shen Lang put his hands behind his back and smiled proudly, "Sorry, I, Shen Beihai, is known as an honest and reliable young man. I never lie. If I say I am 12 years old, I must be 12 years old."
The little girl stayed there for a long time, then she turned around with her mouth flattened, thinking:
"Big liar...how can you be 12 years old if you are so tall...I am 13 years old and I am only four feet seven inches...It is useless to lie, Starfall Gate can measure bone age, and I will definitely brush you off..."
Shen Lang chuckled:
"Then let's wait and see!"
The registration process for the Starfall Sect is very simple, just report your name, age, and affiliation, and then the deacon will take a bone test, and if you pass the test, you can become a glorious Starfall Sect outer disciple.
The registration process was so simple, it naturally went quickly.
Not long after, it was the turn of the little girl in front of Shen Lang.
"Name?"
"Lin Yao."
"age?"
"13 is old."
"Borrow."
"Heyang Mansion, from Linsang County, my family runs a silk village..."
The inner disciple who was in charge of the registration quickly wrote down the information of the little girl Lin Yao on a bamboo card, and then handed the bamboo card to her:
"Go to the bone."
Holding the bamboo card, the little girl walked towards the two male and female deacons who were in charge of touching the bones with a worried expression on her face.
Twelve or thirteen-year-old children already have gender awareness, so the one who is in charge of touching the girl's bones is the deaconess with a middle-stage fourth-rank cultivation.With her cultivation base, whether she has a foundation in martial arts or not, she can tell with just a few pinches.
Of course, bone age cannot be measured.Measure bone age with a magic weapon.
The little girl Lin Yao's bones seemed to be good. The deaconess squeezed a few times, showing a friendly smile on her face, nodded to Lin Yao, and asked her to stand in the passing queue with the bamboo card.
As for those who didn't pass...
Many children who did not pass are now wiping their tears and walking to the outside of the field to find their parents, and some have been crying for a long time.
At this time, Shen Lang also came to the registration desk, his tall body cast a huge shadow on the desk.
The inner disciple who was in charge of registration raised his head and looked at him in surprise:
"Where's your young master? You have to come in person to sign up, and ask your young master to come here by yourself!"
Well, this guy also queued up for Shen Lang as the acting young master.
The corners of Shen Lang's eyes twitched slightly, thinking that the little girl has no eyesight, so she couldn't see that my outfit was normal.But you are all grown-ups, can't you see that my outfit is the standard outfit for the young master?
Shen Lang stared at the disciple at the moment, and said in a deep voice:
"I'm the young master! I'm here to sign up!"
The inner disciple was startled:
"Are you kidding me? Did you find out clearly? Our Star Perishing Sect is openly recruiting disciples, no one over the age of 14..."
Shen Lang is confident and confident:
"I'm only twelve!"
"..."
The inner disciple opened his mouth slightly and stared at Shen Lang dumbfounded for a while:
"Are you only twelve?"
Shen Lang nodded vigorously:
"Not bad, 12 years old!"
The inner disciple looked at Shen Lang's broad shoulders, thick neck, big thick arms and big chest muscles that held the brocade clothes tight, and then looked at his shaved blue chin, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly:
"You think I'm blind! Your chin is shaved blue and you say you're only twelve? Are you 32?"
Shen Lang was also helpless, Shen Beihai was indeed only twelve, but he was indeed too mature, not only tall and muscular, but also had beards at the age of ten...
But this really wasn't Shen Beihai's sudden mutation, it was the blood of the Shen family.All the men in the Shen family have this kind of virtue.It is said that the ancestors of the Shen family have the blood of ancient giants...
The reason why the Shen family has been passed down for more than 100 years and still has a good family style, and each generation of children still dare to go to the frontier to play their lives is obviously related to this bloodline.
"I'm really only twelve."
Shen Lang didn't bother to argue anymore, took out a document, and slapped it on the table:
"I am Hanjiang Mansion, the county magistrate of Kaiguo, the eldest son of Xiongwei Hou Mansion. My surname is Shen, and my name is Beihai. I am twelve this year. This is the official document issued by the Hou Mansion and Hanjiang Mansion. It has the seals of the Hou Mansion and Hanjiang Mansion. Please check it carefully." If you can't tell the truth from the fake, ask someone with eyesight to tell!"
He took out another copper seal with a tiger's head and threw it on the table:
"This is my seal, look carefully!"
The inner sect disciple looked at the official document and then at the tiger head copper seal. He really couldn't tell the authenticity for a while, so he could only go to the two deacons for instructions.
"Hanjiang Mansion, Duke of Founding County, son of Xiongweihou Mansion?"
The male deacon looked up at Shen Lang:
"This kid said he was only 12 years old? Are you kidding me? That's how he looks, 32 at least?"
The deaconess frowned and thought for a while, then said:
"I seem to have heard a senior who served in the Imperial Army say that the mansion of Marquis Xiongwei has been a giant for generations... The current Marquis Xiongwei seems to be eight feet tall..."
"Eight feet?" the male deacon said, "Isn't that the height of the fierce general in the legendary storybook? Is there really such a tall person in reality?"
"It's rare to see." The deaconess gave him a blank look: "Some giants with alien blood, or even monster blood, once awakened blood power, it is not surprising that the height will rise to ten feet. Of course, such people are rare. Yes. But I heard that the Xiongweihou Shen family seems to have some kind of family secret method, which can awaken ancient bloodlines from generation to generation..."
The male deacon said in surprise:
"So, it's really possible that the kid is only 12 years old?"
The deaconess smiled and said:
"Please take out the magic weapon. If you test it, you will know? If you are only 12 years old, then you are a good seedling. Even if you are a brainless man with well-developed limbs and no understanding, he is worthy of the status of Chongxiong Weihou Mansion." Record the door wall."
Immediately he ordered the inner disciple to bring "Shen Beihai" over, and asked the male deacon to ask for a magic weapon for measuring bone age.
Soon, Shen Lang came in front of the deaconess and bowed his hands together:
"Disciple Shen Beihai, meet the deacon."
"Wait a minute, it won't be too late to salute me after the test is passed."
The deaconess looked at Shen Lang with a smile, and she could tell at a glance that his outfit was not something ordinary local tyrants could afford.
The brocade white gown and the golden crown with hair tied are fine, but the key is the gold silk jade belt around the waist, which has been coiled for many years at first glance.
There is also the dragon jade pendant on the belt. This kind of shape cannot be worn by ordinary officials. It must be bestowed by the emperor to wear it.
Just looking at the jade belt and jade pendant without checking the official documents and copper seals, the deaconess almost believed in the identity of "Shen Beihai".
At this time, the male deacon came over with a wooden box lined with blue velvet.
Inside the wooden box, on top of the velvet, there was a fist-sized crystal ball. The female deacon took out the crystal ball and poured it with true energy. When the crystal ball began to bloom with crystal light, she asked Shen Lang to put her palm on the crystal ball.
Shen Lang did as he said, and soon, the colorless crystal light that bloomed from the crystal ball turned light blue.
The deaconess smiled and said:
"Light blue, which means that the bone age is under 14 years old. Yes, although you look old, you are indeed a child."
Shen Lang cupped his hands and bowed:
"The deacon clearly checked the details and proved my innocence. Thank you, disciple."
The deaconess smiled and said:
"It's the magic weapon that can clearly detect the details. I can touch the bones and test the roots, but I can't tell the age of the bones. Well, since there are no problems with birth and age, it's time to test the bones."
In fact, at the age of 12, he looks like a 32-year-old burly man. This bone can be known without testing, and it must be the same.What's more, Xiongweihou Shen's family still has the blood of ancient giants, even if they are stupid and poor in understanding, it should be no problem to practice hard skills.
At that moment, the female deacon didn't shy away from the difference between men and women, and directly pinched Shen Lang's bones with her hands, first her palms, then her arms, shoulders and elbows.
The more you pinch, the more you will be surprised.
"The Shen family deserves to be of ancient blood. Your muscles and bones are not inferior to fifth-rank warriors who have been trained with specialization and internal strength for a long time! Are you born with supernatural power?"
Covered by the magic talisman personally made by Daoist Wanfa, there is no trace of cultivation on Shen Lang's body, at least this fourth-rank deaconess can't see it at all.
As for the strength of the muscles and bones, there is no way. Under the third-order strengthening of Xiao Zhao and Xiao Gu's feedback, the strength of Shen Lang's muscles and bones is actually not inferior to that of a fourth-rank Dacheng warrior who specializes in horizontal training, and he also has extremely strong magic resistance. .
Therefore, Daoist Wanfa's talisman can only suppress a little, and cannot completely suppress the strength of his muscles and bones to the level of ordinary people.
But then again, the Shen family's bloodline is very different, and the current strength of the muscles and bones is just in line with the Shen family's bloodline.
"The deacon's eyes are as sharp as a torch, and the disciple is indeed born with supernatural powers. He can use a stone lock of a hundred catties at the age of ten, and now he can use a ship anchor of several hundred catties as a meteor hammer..."
Without changing his face, Shen Lang took Chen Yuniang's template and put it on himself.
"It's a good seedling!"
The female deacon squeezed Shen Lang's shoulders hard, then squeezed his chest muscles, and said with a smile:
"You passed! From today onwards, you are my outer disciple of Xingdie Sect! Go over there and wait."
Shen Lang bowed to the deacon, "Thank you deacon. May I ask the deacon's name?"
"My name is Chen Yifei." The female deacon said with a smile, "I'm responsible for managing the lower courtyard of the outer sect. In the future, you can practice in the lower courtyard. If you have any questions, you can ask me."
This woman must have taken a fancy to me, right?
Just now, he pinched my shoulders and chest muscles again, and he was so warm to me...
God, I'm only a 12-year-old kid!
Shen Lang complained in his heart, but remained calm on his face, bowing to Chen Yifei and saying:
"Thank you, Deacon Chen. That disciple will go there first."
After speaking, he walked towards the team of new disciples who passed the test.
Seeing Chen Yifei staring intently at Shen Lang's back, the male deacon reminded:
"Junior Sister Chen, although that kid looks old, he is only 12 years old. You should be a human being!"
Chen Yifei was stunned, feeling the meaning of the male deacon's words, and immediately gave him a hard look:
"What nonsense are you talking about? I just thought he was extraordinary and wanted to take in a personal disciple! He's not as nasty as you think!"
The deacon smiled awkwardly:
"Then what, am I afraid that you will make mistakes, Junior Sister? It's just a reminder..."
Between the two talking.
Shen Lang had swaggered and came to the group of children who passed the test.
These children, the youngest is only ten years old, the oldest is only 13 years old, the tallest is only 1.6 meters, and they are very thin and thin.Looking at Shen Lang, who is 1.8 meters [-] in height, with fists as big as bowls, neck as thick as his head, broad shoulders and strong arms, and chest muscles that prop up his clothes like they are going to explode, the children instinctively backed away. The medium is full of awe.
Lin Yao, the little girl who questioned Shen Lang's age, looked at Shen Lang dumbfounded, and stammered:
"You, you really..."
"Hmph, I told you earlier that I'm only 12 years old!"
Shen Lang smiled coldly, clasped his fists together, and bowed to Lin Yao:
"You are older, and you have entered the ranks earlier than me. From today on, you are my senior sister! Junior brother Shen Beihai, meet Senior Sister Lin! From now on, you must cover me, protect me, and not let others bully me!"
"..."
Lin Yao's pink and tender face was blank, her big black eyes were frozen and dull, her small cherry mouth was slightly opened, and her heart was so messed up that she didn't know her last name.
Shen Lang didn't wait for her to respond, he bowed to the other children and said in a loud voice:
"From today onwards, I, Shen Beihai, will be your junior brother! I salute all the senior brothers and sisters! I was a good boy when I was at home, timid and honest. From now on, everyone can't bully me. You have to cover me, protect me, and treat me politely." .do you understand?"
As he spoke, Shen Lang raised his hands and slowly clenched his fists. When the sand bowl-sized fists were closed, the joints made crackling sounds like firecrackers.
The faces of the children were ashen, and they nodded repeatedly like chickens pecking at rice.
Over there, Chen Yifei watched Shen Lang mingle with his brothers and sisters, and said happily:
"As expected of the eldest son of a hundred-year-old Xungui family, he is impeccable in etiquette, and he is a gentle gentleman."
The male deacon is speechless: Junior sister, do you have any misunderstandings about gentle gentlemen?
sidelines.
Gu Hongye, who was wearing a fiery red outfit, a tunic with a red flame pattern on a black background, a bronze medal for the guards of the Marquis Mansion, and an ordinary long sword in his hand, covered his face with his hands as if he couldn't bear to look straight at him:
Shen Butou, pay attention to your image!
You are the fourth rank of both law and martial arts, the "Cold-Blooded Human Butcher" of the four famous arresters of the God of Catching Hall with a fierce reputation!
How can you compete with children? You...
Of course, there is more than one registration point on the training ground.
There are ten registration points, and registration is accepted at the same time.
And there are only ten deacons in charge of touching the bones, and only three female deacons.
Therefore, Chen Yifei was soon busy touching the bones of the little girl who signed up, and had no time to pay attention to Shen Lang.
At dusk, today's registration is finally over.
Today, only more than 50 new disciples passed the test and were admitted to the outer sect.
As for those who were rejected, there were more than 1000 people. The cries of the rejected children and even their parents turned the foot of the mountain into a mourning hall.
Similar scenes will continue for nine days.
The Star Perishing Sect only opened its gate once every three years, and recruited disciples once. Obviously, it was impossible to recruit more than 50 people and finish the job.
Every time the door is opened to accept disciples, it will last for ten days.
In the end, there may be more than 500 disciples enrolled in the outer sect.Of course, there may be only three or four hundred people.
There will be at least ten thousand people who are brushed off.
In fact, martial arts can be practiced by an individual, of course, what level can be practiced is another matter.So there are some sects that don't pay much attention to accepting disciples, and you can get started by paying money.
The Star Perishing Sect has the burden of a top-notch faction, so of course it is impossible to accept disciples so hastily. Such a strict selection standard is also the secret of the Star Perishing Sect's prosperity from the previous dynasty to the present.
Of course, it is impossible to recruit all the best talents from all over the world to recruit disciples openly every three years.So the Star Perishing Sect also accepts internal recommendations.
Those disciples who have already left their masters can recommend good talents to the sect at any time.
In this way of recommendation, there will inevitably be related accounts.
But it doesn't matter, anyway, the waste materials are thrown to the outer door to fend for themselves, and the real good materials are directly entered into the inner door.
Of course, if it was Bai Huchan, the great general of Xiaoqi, or a disciple recommended by a powerful and wealthy disciple, even if it was an iron waste, the Star Death Sect would accept it as a true disciple.
In short, the care for "special talents" is not exempt from the so-called Starfall Sect, which claims to have strict door rules.
As a "special talent", Shen Lang also enjoyed a little care.
After donating a silver ticket of 1 yuan to Zongmen [reimbursement from Shenchuitang], and promised not to be less than this amount every year in the future, Shen Lang moved into a house with its back against a bamboo forest and facing a stream. A small single-family courtyard with a lotus pond and rockery.
"Ye Honggu", the sword servant of the Hou Mansion who escorted him all the way to Jiuxian Mountain to worship his teacher, was also allowed to live in the small courtyard and take care of his daily life.
And his pets: a little white cat, a little white rabbit, a little red carp, and a little fire crow are all allowed to be brought into the mountain gate.
The deacon Chen Yifei who personally arranged for him to live in this small courtyard also specifically warned him that there are a lot of bears in the lower courtyard, and the small pets must be taken care of, and don't let them run around.
Especially don't run into the collective dormitory of the lower house, there will be hundreds of children living there in a few days, if one of the small pets accidentally falls into the hands of groups of children, the consequences will be difficult expected.
In other words, for the outer disciples recruited by the Star Perishing Sect, in principle, there is no tuition fee for the first year - after one year, if they pass the assessment, they can be admitted to the inner sect, let alone tuition fees.
But if you don't pass, but still want to stay in the outer sect to study art, you have to pay money.
If you have no money to pay, you have to work as a handyman, working part-time and learning art at the same time.
If you fail to advance to the inner sect after three consecutive assessments, sorry, you are really not suitable for the martial arts of the star perishing sect. Go home or go out to wander the rivers and lakes, and find another opportunity.What?Still want to stay in Zongmen?Then you can only keep doing handyman.
Now the outer sect disciples of the previous class have either entered the inner sect or been promoted to the true biography.The ones who were really worthless either went home or went out to make a living, and those who were not reconciled stayed in the door and became full-time handymen.
The disciples of the previous session had all left the Lower Court, and the collective dormitory in the Lower Court was of course vacant.
The free students who did not pay, lived in the collective dormitory.
The few who donated money to the sect like Shen Lang lived in dormitories of different grades depending on the donation amount.
Like Shen Lang, it belongs to the highest level.
Miss Lin Yao's family owns a silk shop and has money, but she didn't donate as much as Shen Lang, so she lived in a small courtyard not far away with two girls who also donated money, but no one took care of her. They live in daily life, and everything has to be done by themselves.
Of course, in this world, let alone a girl of twelve or thirteen years old, even a girl of seven, eight, five or six years old can basically work.
Young sister Lin Yao and the other two young girls, although they were Miss Jiao at home, have come to the Star Perishing Sect to learn from their masters. After learning about the rules of the Sect early, they have also developed the ability to live independently, and there is no problem in taking care of themselves.
Anyway, there is a dining hall for eating, and a big bathhouse for taking a bath, so I just need to do laundry and cleaning.
If you can cook, you can also open a small stove by yourself.
To be honest, if it wasn't for the suspicion of collusion between the Star Death Sect and the Black Lotus Demon Nest, and the unhealthy ethos of elders and true disciples who can drive low-level disciples at will, Shen Lang didn't like it very much. As for today's registration process, Shen Lang was very impressed with Star Death. The first impression of the door was actually not bad.
The senior brothers and sisters are all very cute. Although Deacon Chen Yifei is suspected of taking advantage of others, he is fairly fair in dealing with things and treats others with enthusiasm.
So after settling down in the small courtyard, when there was no one around, Shen Lang said to Gu Hongye who was busy making the bed:
"Before I came, I had some misunderstandings..."
While talking, he looked at Gu Hongye, and saw her kneeling on the bed, bending over to wipe the sheets.
This posture highlights her plump, round and peach-like buttocks to the fullest, making the corners of Shen Lang's eyes twitch slightly, and an evil impulse arises in his heart. He really wants to go over and slap her. Will there be waves.
Shen Lang's eyes are too strong, Gu Hongye is also a fourth-rank mid-stage martial artist, and she can conjure up inspirations at any time. With her current spiritual sense, she has already sensed Shen Lang's undisguised gaze, and she is also very clear about him. Staring at where he is.
However, she only raised the corners of her lips slightly, showing a slight smile. Not only did she not change her posture, but she continued to wipe the smoothed bed sheet unhurriedly, and at the same time bent her waist even lower—she had already married Mu Qingxue Now that she has entered Shen's house, Shen Lang is her "Master", no matter how he manipulates her, it is his natural right.
What Gu Hongye is looking forward to more is that Shen Lang will take over his house, and when he and Mu Qingxue are together in the future, she can go in and serve him in a fair and honest manner!
Of course, when he intentionally or unintentionally seduced Master Shen, Gu Hongye didn't forget to reply and asked:
"What mistake?"
Shen Lang picked up the teacup, moistened his throat, and his eyes still fell on Gu Hongye's waist and buttocks.
On the second night of their wedding, Mu Qingxue worked all night, and he stayed alone in the empty room.In the early morning of the next day, he went out to Beijing to handle the case again, and when he came back more than 20 days later, Mu Qingxue went out to kill Jiao Jiao again, and then he immediately accepted the task and came to the Nine Immortals Mountain to investigate at the Star Perishing Sect...
No vacation, not to mention honeymoon, not even hugging his wife, and not even quenching his thirst to the fullest, in Shen Lang's heart, there is actually a little fire.Right now, Gu Hongye looks like this...
As a fourth-rank martial artist, Gu Hongye's body fat is of course very low.
But her hip line is still upright and plump like an inverted heart, and in this posture, the shoulder-to-hip ratio and waist-to-hip ratio are perfect...
Well, Shen Lang's current body is full of firepower, and he is also a martial arts practitioner. He is full of energy and blood. Sometimes he can't suppress the fire, and it is normal to have some evil thoughts.
But he's also good at restraint.
Now the location is wrong, the timing is wrong, and even the appearance is not his own, of course Shen Lang will not indulge himself easily.
At the moment, silently contemplate the Dharma image of the Great Sun Tathagata, suppress distracting thoughts, and at the same time look away calmly, and said lightly:
"Before I came here, I considered the Starfall Gate as a whole, subconsciously thinking that if I wanted to check the Starfall Gate, I would be facing the entire Starfall Gate...but now I realize that my thinking is biased. "
Sensing that Shen Lang looked away, Gu Hongye rolled her eyes speechlessly, smoothed the sheets quickly, jumped off the ground and began to tidy the quilt, and asked at the same time:
"What do you think now?"
Shen Lang held the teacup and paced back and forth:
"We can't look at the Star Death Gate as a unified whole with the same ideas, same interests, and same actions.
"The sect is made up of many people, unless the upper echelon of the Star Perishing Sect has some brainwashing techniques, the disciples of the Star Perishing Sect, even the deacons and elders will have their own ideas and interests.
"How serious is the crime of colluding with the demon god? Once the evidence of the crime is confirmed, the emperor and even the real people of the royal family can't protect him. Not to mention the biggest backer on the face of Xingde's family, that is, the second-rank general Xiaoqi.
"If you find ironclad evidence that Xingfamen colluded with the Black Lotus Demon Buddha, I can guarantee that the general of Xiaoqi, Bai Huchan, will immediately dissociate himself from Xingfamen and sit back and watch Xingfamen be destroyed. At worst, we will rebuild a new Xingfan in the future The door is.
"Therefore, the collusion with the Demon God must not be the participation of the entire Star Perishing Sect. It must be the actions of a few individuals. Most of the Star Perishing Sect's disciples, even the deacons and elders don't know about it."
Gu Hongye thought for a while and said:
"Even so, if any clues are really found, the upper echelons of the Starfall Sect who have no connection with the Demon God may react in two ways. One is to get rid of it immediately, and the other is to desperately save or even destroy the evidence to protect the sect. Door."
Shen Lang nodded:
"That's true. But as long as we can obtain ironclad evidence and hand it over to Lord Yan, and Lord Yan or Lord Mu will bring the evidence and come to question the crime in an open and honest way, then the choice of Starfall Sect will only be the first one. "
Gu Hongye said:
"However, if the clues are found and the evidence is obtained, but the evidence is accidentally exposed before the evidence is handed over to Master Yan, the Star Death Sect will most likely make the second choice, destroy the evidence, kill us, and then hurry to find Xiaoqi General.
"Afterwards, General Xiaoqi also has two choices. One is to destroy relatives righteously. Those who seize the Xingfan Gate will be sent to the Shenchao Hall to plead guilty to Master Yan. The second is to fully surrender to Qiankun and Bailong to keep the sect. .”
Shen Lang smiled and asked:
"What choice do you think General Xiaoqi will make if this happens?"
Gu Hongye shook her head:
"I don't know. Xiaoqi General Bai Huchan is a low-key person, unlike Hushi General Gu Sansi, there are many rumors of arrogance, arrogance and lawlessness. It is really hard to predict what kind of temperament he will be and what choice he will make."
Shen Lang smiled:
"The great general Hussars is at the border, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and he speaks his mind in the army, and the imperial court needs him to sit in the northern border and fight against the powerful and brutal Mobei barbarians, so he can naturally be arrogant and domineering.
"As for General Xiaoqi, who is in command of the imperial army, he is in the capital. Where is the capital? There are dignitaries all over the place, and there are several first-rank great masters and real people in town. General Xiaoqi can't be arrogant if he wants to. He must keep a low profile, and low key."
Gu Hongye said distressedly:
"But that makes it difficult for us to predict his reaction..."
Shen Lang smiled and said:
"It doesn't matter. If I find the clues and get the evidence, the Star Death Sect has no chance to destroy the evidence, so kill me."
Gu Hongye said seriously:
"I know that you are already at the fourth rank with both martial arts and martial arts, and the cultivation base of the fourth rank is enough to compete with the third rank. But there is more than one third rank in the Star Death Sect."
Shen Lang said:
"Don't worry, I'm sensible. Well, it's getting late, it's time to rest, and I have to get up early tomorrow to practice basic skills."
Gu Hongye slenderly pointed at a strand of hair hanging down to her cheeks, and pointed her best-looking side face at him:
"Master, do you need me to help you warm the bed?"
Shen Lang touched his face:
"Do you think I look right now?"
Gu Hongye stared at his "Shen Beihai" appearance for a while, then suddenly laughed:
"It's really not suitable. It's far less beautiful than yours. Then, I'm going to meditate outside. Call me if you need anything."
