From Chapter Seven of Xuanjun

Chapter 52 Going Down the Mountain
Following Kongxiang to Arhat Hall, Shen Yi wisely listened to Kongxiang's advice, and chose Da Guangming Fist, which combines rigidity and softness, from among many martial arts.

Afterwards, the master and apprentice went to the Discipline Academy to formally apprentice and register the master-apprentice relationship.As for the three-year test, it was because Shen Yi had already shown his strength in front of the abbot and the heads, so he was directly exempted.

After that, the master and apprentice separated, one entered the cave facing the wall, and the other entered the quiet room facing the wall.

Kong Xiang's wall-facing punishment was not over yet, it was just suspended due to injury, while Shen Yi's wall-facing punishment had just begun.

Because he broke a killing precept, he had to face the wall in the precepts academy for three days, and copied the "Curse of Rebirth" to save the dead Wuchen.

For this, Shen Yi was quite happy, what could be happier than saving one's enemies.

He stayed in the Discipline Academy, copied the scriptures, studied the "Diamond Sutra" annotated by Long Xiang Dazong, practiced martial arts, and secretly manipulated the number of believers who had grown to 35.

During these three days, Wujue, Wuwu and other monks all passed the three-year test and were able to enter the Arhat Hall.

Because of poor performance in the past, and Wuming and others getting too close to Wu'an, none of them were able to learn from their masters, and they all became ordinary monks in Luohan Hall, and began to embark on the road of cannon fodder learning.

Originally, they should spend most of their lives practicing martial arts and guarding the Arhat Hall. It is rare for them to have the opportunity to go down the mountain a few times in a lifetime, but the appearance of lay disciples gave them a chance to go down the mountain to see the world, and... ·
An opportunity to spread the word about their heavenly father and savior, the great Lord Taixu.

Linglong Tiesha opened the gate to recruit lay disciples, but the area of ​​the temple is limited after all, so the recruitment of lay disciples by the abbot of Lingmen is carried out in the affiliated lower courtyards in various places.

Lay disciples get started in the affiliated monastery and practice martial arts. Among them, those with high aptitude and outstanding performance can go to Linglong Tiesha for further training, and the rest will leave the teacher after three years of martial arts practice.

Many lay disciples may not step into Linglong Tiesha in their whole lives, but this does not affect them spreading the reputation of Linglong Tiesha.

It can be foreseen that in the next few years or even decades, the popularity of Linglong Tiesha will skyrocket, and the number of Taixu believers who are rooted in Linglong Tiesha will also usher in a surge in number.

'So, I must continue to strengthen my strength so that I can suppress the distracting thoughts that are about to skyrocket. '

With such thoughts in mind, Shen Yi who came out of the quiet room went to see Kongxiang.

"Have you made up your mind?"

In the cave, there was a question from Kong Xiang.

"Yes," Shen Yi stood outside the cave, and replied respectfully, "At this opportunity, I want to travel down the mountain to increase my knowledge."

After a slight silence in the cave, the voice of Kongxiang came.I just heard him say: "The disciples of this temple, after opening up the eight meridians of the extraordinary meridian, will start to travel down the mountain for the first time. You have the body of Taiyin, and after opening the meridians, you have made rapid progress. You have already penetrated all the eight meridians of the extraordinary meridian. After defeating Wu'an, you are indeed qualified to travel down the mountain."

Shen Yi heard the words and quietly waited for Kongxiang's "but".

"However, after all, you have not been a teacher for a short time. Even if you are a genius, you are still a little immature. As a teacher, you will ask the abbot later to let you go down the mountain with Wu Yin, and let him take care of you on the way. "

"Just remember that the world of mortals takes a long time. When you travel, you should keep a diligent mind and don't let karma get in the way. And... go early and return early."

"Yes, Master." Shen Yi bowed towards the cave.

"Go."

In the cave, after Kong Xiang finished speaking, he let out a sigh of relief, feeling a sense of loss and worry in his heart.

Perhaps, this is the relationship between master and apprentice.

Kong Xiang, who was accepting apprentices for the first time, thought this way, and then said to another figure in the cave: "Brother, please take care of Wu Wang as well."

In the cave where the golden light and the black air competed with each other, Kong Kong sat on the ground casually, and said: "I think Wu Wang's nephew has more than one mind than you, he will definitely not follow in your footsteps, don't worry."

"It's best like this." Kong Xiang replied, and then continued to bury his head in copying the scriptures.

·······················
Time, another two days passed.

In two days, Chen Tianyuan and people from various factions left one after another, Jiange, Tianhe Sword Sect, and Dajiang Gang also came to redeem people one after another.

Until he left, Chen Tianyuan did not meet Shen Yi again, nor did he leave any contact information, as if he had forgotten about this collaborator.

However, Shen Yi thinks that this scheming Junshi Chen is sure that the two sides will meet again soon, so he left simply.

Linglong Tiesha also arranged manpower, and a large number of monks began to go to temples in various places. Some monks of the empty generation took some disciples to Qingtianguan to teach martial arts to the soldiers.

Together with Shen Yi and Wu Yin, they were the second monks who went to the affiliated monastery to recruit lay disciples, but the place they went to was a bit unusual.

Yanggu County, the place where Shangguan Pei served as the county guard, is the closest to the county town of Qingtianguan.

The reason why Chen Tianyuan was dismissed three years ago was because Shangguan Pei stopped the troops delivering food and salaries in Yanggu County, which made Chen Tianyuan, a military adviser of the Tiece Army, go to Yanggu County to mediate in person, which led to the subsequent dispute. disaster.

If Chen Tianyuan was there, with his advanced cultivation as a Qi refiner, he would be able to detect the abnormal changes in the earth veins at the first time, and he would have a chance to prevent the earth dragon from turning over.

And if it wasn't for that unprecedented earthquake, more than half of the Qingtian pass would not have collapsed, and Dali's army would not have been able to enter the pass so easily.It can be said that Yanggu County is the starting point of everything.

"Now Yanggu County is in chaos because of Shangguan Pei's death and Dali's possibility of knocking on the gate again. Brother Wuwang, if you want to change your mind at this time, there is still time."

In front of the mountain gate of Linglong Tiesha, Wuyin made a final reminder to Shen Yi.

As the abbot's personal disciple, he naturally went wherever the most difficult, and Yanggu County had no choice but to go.But Shen Yi is different, he can change to another place and go to a place far away from Qingtianguan to practice.

It's just that since Shen Yi had already boarded Chen Tianyuan's boat, he couldn't avoid getting in touch with related matters.Instead of being passively involved in other days, it is better to actively contact now, so that you can be prepared.

"Senior brother, those who practice subduing dragons and subduing tigers have never lacked a brave heart." Shen Yi chuckled and said familiarly.

Hearing this, Wu Yin laughed, and said: "This is a senior brother who didn't think carefully. Well, if that's the case, then let you and my senior brother go to Yanggu County together."
