A Sword Through the Nine Heavens

Chapter 21: Why take on a disciple?

Views:

At night, there are stars, a bright moon in the sky, and a gentle breeze blowing from Luochen Cliff.

Everyone in the Luochen Sect is on Luochen Cliff. In the evening, it is the time for the master to teach his disciples. It is not so much teaching as it is more about chatting in the cool air. Everyone in the Luochen Sect will gather here to listen to the master's teachings.

Under the old banyan tree, Feng Haochen was lying on the Taishi chair, looking into the distance. The starry village is looming, looking so hazy in the moonlight, peaceful and quiet. Uncle An was sitting next to the headmaster, holding a cattail leaf fan to fan the headmaster. Kongkong and Miaomiao kept swinging on the swing, fooling around from time to time, and sometimes they even swung out of the cliff. For some reason, no one worried about their safety.

Lying on the stone slab facing south, looking at the stars in the sky, I don't know what I am thinking. Chengyan sat on the outside of the stone slab, with his feet dangling in the air and looking into the distance. Lan Ling'er lay on the stone floor, holding her chin with her hands, watching Kong Kong and Miaomiao swinging on the swing. Mu Yu sat on the branches of the banyan tree. Trees were always his best companions. He kept paying attention to the two little kids who were swinging higher and higher, for fear that they would fly out.

"Master, why do I feel that our sect is different from other sects?" Mu Yu asked, breaking the silence.

Feng Haochen smiled slightly and asked, "What do you think of other sects?"

Mu Yu thought about it seriously and said: "Other sects have always been prosperous, and I am afraid there are no less than 800 or more disciples. Why are there so few in our sect?"

"It is our sect's principle to recruit disciples rather than indiscriminately." Feng Haochen said calmly, "It doesn't matter whether our sect becomes big or not. I always accept only one disciple from a hundred, and I basically don't accept disciples from the school. Mu Yu, you do. First."

Mu Yu blushed a little. At first, he thought that he would never be selected by the Luochen sect, which was the last one. Unfortunately, they never accepted disciples. His master's appearance in the school was just for a show. If it hadn't been like this, Mu Yu would probably be there now. He also became a gray disciple at the bottom of the academy. Fortunately, his choice last night was correct.

"But I didn't see how special I am! I'm just the son of a farmer from a small mountain village. I didn't even go to school. Master, why did you accept me in the first place?" Xiang Nan scratched his head and asked honestly.

Feng Haochen smiled and said: "I think you have room for improvement. Each of you has something that I like. In my opinion, talent is secondary, and temperament is the most important. I don't think that each of you has something that I like." A disciple who goes out will lose to other sects, such as Chengyan, if I let you fight Bai Lang from the Qingsong sect, what do you think your chances of winning are?"

Chengyan smiled and said: "Master, I have only met him once, I think it may be a tie!"

Mu Yu opened his eyes wide. Of course Mu Yu had heard of who Bai Lang was. He was a disciple of the largest sect in the world. His own cultivation was superior to the younger generation, but his senior brother Chengyan was unknown, and his age He looks younger than Bailang, but he doesn't feel that he is any worse than Bailang. Is this sect really a place where crouching tigers hide dragons

Mu Yu found it a bit unbelievable. If his senior brother was so powerful, why would he join the Luochen Sect? With his talent, he should join the Qingsong Sect. Mu Yu thought again that the master never accepted apprentices in the academy. If he didn't accept apprentices through the academy, how did the senior brother come

Feng Haochen did not judge Chengyan's words and continued: "Xiang Nan, you are relatively simple and dull, you can't speak, your talent is not top-notch, you are prone to losses, you are greedy, and you also like to sleep..."

"I like farting, and it's very loud!" Kong Kong echoed from the side.

"I still snore while sleeping." Miaomiao also added.

"Don't I have any advantages?" Xiang Nan muttered. Everyone laughed, and Xiang Nan himself blushed, but he was not angry, he just giggled along with everyone.

"But you have a wise head, which is very rare. You can accurately calculate the gap between yourself and your opponent, see through other people's weaknesses at a glance, analyze other people's moves, and end the battle in the simplest way. This is your biggest strength Advantages. Fortunately, you are not very lazy and your cultivation progress is not slow, otherwise it would be a waste of your quick mind." Feng Haochen said.

Xiang Nan was embarrassed again. He muttered a few words, but no one else heard him. Mu Yu heard clearly from the side: "I can't be lazy when I meet Uncle An..." Mu Yu felt that he had underestimated Xiang Nan. It turns out that he has such a hidden side.

"Ling'er has a very good talent and a tough character, but he is a bit naive. I will learn from your senior brother how to deal with things in the future. As for Mu Yu..."

Feng Haochen paused when he said this, and everyone looked at him, wondering why their master would bring Mu Yu back this time. Muyu also wanted to know why the master would accept him, if it was just because of his ability to control wood, it seemed a bit far-fetched. He looked at his master, his eyes full of expectation. Is it because of his purple talent

"He is suitable for practicing Taoism." Feng Haochen said briefly.

Everyone doesn't understand, even Mu Yu doesn't understand, what does it mean to be suitable for practicing Taoism? How is it that the people present are not suitable for practicing Taoism? Which disciple from the academy is not suitable for practicing Taoism? As long as you have talent, you can practice Taoism, right

Uncle An remained silent. Seeing everyone's confused looks, he said, "The leader means that Mu Yu is the same as Luo Shang."

Chengyan and Xiangnan both looked as if they suddenly understood, and they looked at Mu Yu in different ways. Lan Ling'er snorted inaudibly, while Mu Yu was even more confused, was he the same as Luo Shang? Who is Luo Shang

"Luo Shang is your second senior brother." Feng Haochen said. Mu Yu still doesn't understand what it means that his second senior brother Luo Shang, whom he has never met before, is as suitable for practicing Taoism as he is? Where has this mysterious second senior brother gone now? He is suitable for practicing Taoism, so does he pursue his own way

"Master, what about the two of us? What's going on with me and sister Miaomiao?" Kongkong climbed onto Feng Haochen's lap and asked.

"It must be because Miaomiao is cute. Brother Kongkong, you have taken advantage of your sister." Miaomiao also climbed up. The two of them have always liked to pull Feng Haochen's beard, and Feng Haochen has never been angry. .

"You two? I don't know, I feel a little regretful." Feng Haochen smiled and touched Kong Kong's head. Maybe it was just because these two little urchins were cute, maybe because they were extraordinary, but Feng Haochen Didn't say. Mu Yu also wanted to ask something about Luo Shang, but unfortunately Kongkong and Miaomiao started arguing again and did not give Mu Yu a chance.

It was late at night, Kongkong and Miaomiao fell asleep on Feng Haochen's lap. Feng Haochen also closed his eyes and snored on the stone slab to the south. Uncle An continued to fan Feng Haochen expressionlessly, and he didn't stop all night. Chengyan sat cross-legged on the stone slab, exhaled and absorbed new things, and entered a state of practice.

Lan Ling'er didn't speak much all night. Ever since she heard her master say that Mu Yu was as suitable for practicing Taoism as her second senior brother, her expression had not been right. She looked at Mu Yu with a strange look, but Mu Yu didn't notice it. That’s all. She was in a mess. The second senior brother was the person she cared about the most. But at this moment, the master had brought back a Mu Yu who was as suitable for cultivating as the second senior brother. Was he trying to fill the second senior brother's position

Mu Yu held a branch in his mouth and looked at a group of fellow sects below. This sect had a sparse population and looked very ordinary but extraordinary. Different from other sects, the people here were very easy-going, not like a sect. The sect is, on the contrary, a big family.

Mu Yu smiled slightly, feeling that he had entered a different world of cultivation.
