"Master...Uncle Master??!"
Teacher Zhao Teng only suspected that his ears heard it wrong.
But the respectable old man in front of him obviously did not look like he was joking at all. Instead, he continued to give instructions, "I am accepting disciples on behalf of my master, so this young Mr. Qi Mo will be the helmsman of the formation inheritance of Tingxue Academy from now on." People.
It’s your first time here, so you don’t know many things yet, so you need to cooperate as much as possible.
However, there is no need to tell the juniors about this matter, and there is no need to make it public. "
Zhao Teng:…
He took a deep breath, and he couldn't believe in his heart that the young man he brought in had transformed into a master uncle, and was still in charge of the formation.
This is too unbelievable.
Just now he was instructing this student to understand etiquette...
Damn, what's going on
It's time for wild dogs.
Even the teacher of this academy couldn't help but swear in his heart.
But he still turned sideways, bowed to Xia Ji respectfully and said, "Little Master Uncle."
Xia Ji smiled and nodded.
Zhao Teng stood up, took a deep breath, tried hard to calm down, and then said: "Excuse me, dean, do I need to inform the other junior sisters, junior fellow students, or colleagues?"
Ouyang Mu thought for a while and said, "Let them come over. I will tell them personally."
“Students understand.”
…
…
After a while.
More than twenty academy teachers appeared in front of this small attic in the mountains.
The group of people first saluted, and then... were directly informed of the matter by Ouyang Mu.
For a moment, the expressions and moods of these twenty or so college teachers were exactly the same as Zhao Teng's before.
It's just that the body position is slightly different from that of wild dogs.
Everyone looked at Xia Ji strangely.
"Master...Uncle Master?"
"Still the young master uncle of the Formation Dao?"
Although everyone was shocked, they still did not forget to salute. At the same time, they also took note of Xia Ji's appearance. They would naturally provide corresponding support in the academy later.
After these teachers of different ages returned to the academy,
The autumn mountain road has restored its original peace.
Ouyang Mu said: "Young sir, come with me... When you join my Confucian school, you need some etiquette."
Xia Ji nodded.
He followed the old man into the small pavilion.
But there is still a different world behind the small pavilion.
The frosty leaves are whirling, paving a quiet path with yellow leaves. The falling leaves make a sound, but they are even more silent.
The two stepped on the road, making a "click" sound under their feet.
Because there is no need to tell the world, the etiquette of "accepting a disciple as a teacher" is not complicated.
The main process is to offer sacrifices to ancestors, burn incense and worship.
Xia Ji knew that there were no ancestors at all, and if they died, they would disappear forever, but he didn't say much, but followed the process and completed the etiquette.
After it was over, Ouyang Mu looked at Xia Ji with an even closer expression.
Everyone in this era pays great attention to their sect and origin. Once they get started, they become one of their own.
And even a great demon who was born in the righteous way and does evil will never lose the constraints of his origin. Just like "a tiger's poison cannot eat its seeds", he will never take action easily against his former junior brothers, junior sisters, and masters.
There is always some bottom line and pure land in people's hearts. Otherwise, what is the difference between them and animals that have lost their sense
Before, although Ouyang Mu and Xia Ji talked about accepting apprentices as their masters, they did not complete the ceremony after all, and there was still a sense of distance between them.
Now, as Xia Ji completes the process, this sense of distance has disappeared without a trace.
The old man didn't ask Xia Ji's secret, he just smiled gently and said: "Little sir, since it's almost noon, come to the back mountain and have a casual meal with me."
Xia Ji looked at the sky. In the middle of the frosty sky, the sun was not dazzling. He nodded and said with a smile, "Thank you, senior brother."
When the old man heard the word "senior brother", he laughed. Without further words, he raised his finger to the sky and said softly: "The wind is coming."
As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of mountain wind deviated from its original direction and rolled up,
In the process of rolling up, the wind force became stronger and stronger, and then turned into an invisible big hand,
The big hand reached into the clouds and pulled a piece of the clouds passing above their heads.
The cloud seemed to be alive, flying from the sky, falling to the feet of the two people, and directly picked them up.
Immediately, the old man raised his finger, and the clouds flew away towards the distance pointed by his finger.
The scenery under your feet has become smaller, and the mountains and rivers are in your eyes.
On the cloud, Ouyang Mu turned his head and glanced at Xia Ji, only to see that the latter's expression was calm. There was no hint of panic or surprise from beginning to end, and he sighed secretly in his heart.
He originally wanted to ask, "Little sir, do you think my way of saying things as I please them may be offensive to my eyes?"
After thinking for a moment, he decided not to ask.
What's so cool about this little magical power
What if I get slapped in the face by my junior brother again
The two of them stood in mid-air, reaching deep into the mountains through the clouds and mist.
From a high perspective, there is a "desert oasis"-like bamboo forest in the deep mountains of Cangyun Mountain.
It is obviously autumn, but the bamboo forest has not withered and turned yellow, and is still as green as the new spring.
In the bamboo forest, a noble lady was playing the piano.
The clouds fall,
Only then did the noble lady raise her head,
He was stunned when he saw that besides Ouyang Mu, there was a young man on the clouds.
Then she heard the old man introduce, "This is his junior brother"... The lady was even more shocked.
But she didn't say anything, she just turned around and went deep into the bamboo forest to fry two side dishes.
This noble lady is Ouyang Mu's wife, Mu Shanshui, and the sister of the current emperor of the Northern Tang Dynasty.
It can be seen that the relationship between a dynasty and the academy is really inextricably linked and very close.
After meal.
The old man took Xia Ji back to the academy and told him to come and get it at any time when he needed the "Bagua Spirit Gathering Flag".
Later, Zhao Teng arrived again and took Xia Ji to the Peak Palace where the formation inheritance was located.
Although this school palace built on the mountain is deserted, it is also clean.
There was almost no one in the palace, only two or three maids who kept the palace clean, and a few guards on duty in front of important buildings.
…
…
Xia Ji struggled all day and saw that it was getting dark, so he rode back to Liangzhou City.
Miaomiao was busy with dinner. Today she specially bought some meat, thinking that no matter whether Xia Ji could enter the academy or not, she would have to eat something good. When she saw Xia Ji coming back, she was obviously very nervous, but she pretended to be nonchalant and asked :"How about it?"
Xia Ji was afraid of scaring Miaomiao, so he followed the principle of "I will answer whatever you ask" and said, "I have entered Tingxue Academy."
Miaomiao breathed a sigh of relief...
The big stone that had been weighing on her chest these days was finally lifted.
Originally, she was still thinking that if her younger brother could not enter the academy, then she would have to take Xia Ji to move again and try again at Biluo Academy, but by then the two of them would be in an extremely tight financial situation.
Well now, there is no need to worry.
So, like an old lady, Miaomiao gave a few words of advice: "You must study hard."
Xia Ji smiled and responded.
He sat at the table and looked out the window.
Under the eaves outside the window, the pages pressed by stones were still flying, apparently a new round of "questions and answers" had begun.
He stood up curiously, went over to grab the stone, and glanced at the page.
The page read: Zi Chenxue, a member of the East China Sea Heavenly Sword lineage, wants to meet fellow Taoist.
Xia Ji's expression changed.
The East China Sea Heavenly Sword lineage
Couldn't this be the sword fairy who accepted Miaomiao according to his original trajectory
This kind of sword immortal naturally has wonderful opportunities.
Or swordsmanship, or something else.
Sure enough, a girl of destiny like Miaomiao is destined to meet the Sword Immortal.
However, he could not let Miaomiao go to the East China Sea again in this life, otherwise she would surely fall into the trap of heaven.
At this time, a voice came from inside the house.
"That Su... Qi Mo... put the paper back, we'll be back for dinner soon."
Miaomiao had already served the dinner.
Xia Ji responded and returned. He knew the cause and effect very well, so he didn't ask anything.
The siblings ate their dinner quietly.
After dinner, Miaomiao was practicing swordsmanship again. These days, all she has been exposed to is the most advanced swordsmanship... Looking down from a high place, the original realm and difficulties are not worth mentioning. She has made rapid progress.
Xia Ji was thinking about the time and place to "use the Bagua Spirit Gathering Formation". Naturally, he needed someone to protect the formation to use it.
In theory, the best candidate to protect the formation should be Miaomiao.
But Miaomiao hasn't grown up yet.
As for the dean, it is certainly a choice, but he doesn't want anyone to know too many of his secrets.
If he had other choices, he would not choose Ouyang Mu.
…
It didn't take long.
Late night has fallen.
Miaomiao had been lying in front of the window, and from time to time she would carefully push open a crack in the window to see what the senior looked like.
In the moonlight, the autumn wind passed by, making the pages under the stone rattle.
But after waiting for a long time, no one came.
Midnight has arrived.
The moon is at the zenith.
Miaomiao yawned and continued to "peep" unremittingly.
In the cold light, a purple figure stepped on the moon and landed in front of the courtyard like a feather.
In the moonlight, a graceful and tall figure appeared, with a pair of long legs wearing silver boots, and a long sword hanging gently on her waist.
Zi Chenxue checked the page and found that the sword cultivator who had cracked the "Nine Heavens" did not respond.
She scanned the surroundings again with her consciousness, but still didn't find any strange people.
The East China Sea Sword Immortal looked cold and said directly: "As a powerful sword cultivator, he avoided seeing you. What does it mean to be sneaky?"
The sound spread out and melted into the wind, but no one responded.
Zi Chenxue waited for a while, but still only heard the sound of wind and leaves.
If he were an ordinary person, he might just leave now, but after all, this person is not an ordinary person, but a swordsman full of personality.
Zi Chenxue decided to wait until that person came.
After all, the mysterious sword cultivator also took a fancy to Miao Miao's talent, otherwise how could he compete with him for disciples
There's no way he could leave his apprentice here, right
Zi Chenxue had her mind set and decided to wait and see.
…
From that day on, the East China Sea Sword Immortal began a "living together" life with his siblings.
It's just that she has no place to sleep.
But this is obviously not a big problem. Zi Chenxue just took a futon and closed her eyes and meditated in the moonlight, which was considered a rest.
And if you want to lie down, just throw a rope and hang it between the two beams.
Then she lightly jumped on it and lay on the rope like a swing, sleeping peacefully.
As for bathing and changing clothes.
Do fairies need to take a bath and change clothes
Fairies are not dirty...
Zi Chenxue is very powerful. She can already use her magical power to directly remove dust from her body, and her extraordinary body makes her like jade, which no longer produces any dirt.
The biggest benefit of Zi Chenxue's arrival is that the food for the siblings has been improved.
After all, she hid a lot of meat from exotic animals in her storage space, and she would cut two kilograms of it for Miaomiao from time to time.
After the initial interaction, Miaomiao was no longer polite.
Zi Chenxue gave the meat to her, so she cut it into shreds and minced it for cooking...
So during the day, Miaomiao was busy with housework and practicing swordsmanship.
Xia Ji is going to the Formation Palace in Cangyun Mountain.
Zichenxue was sitting cross-legged.
Maybe there are only two things in this world that can make Zi Chenxue stand up...
That's when it's time for lunch and dinner.
These times are usually accompanied by Xia Ji's return.
After going back and forth, Zi Chenxue and Xia Ji got to know each other.
But perhaps because the East China Sea Heavenly Sword lineage has always been passed down from female to male, and only from one lineage, this swordsman's communication skills were not very good, but Xia Ji would tease her from time to time.
After all, in Xia Ji's eyes, both the sword immortal and the dean are actually just children.
He stood at a very high position, looking at everyone and everything in the world.
Therefore, although this Zi Chenxue is a sword fairy, in his eyes, to some extent, he is not as big as Miaomiao... At most, he is just a little guy who has lived for more than a hundred years.
Xia Ji's casual attitude made Zi Chenxue inexplicably surprised.
After this ordinary person in this world knows that she is a sword fairy, there will only be three reactions.
The first is to please.
The second is to be respectful.
The third is to be mysterious.
But no matter which one of the three, they are actually looking for some opportunities.
But why is this person so casual with me
Are you more casual than Master
The most important thing is that I don't hate this kind of randomness, and even take it for granted. Is this how it should be
Why
The inner intuition of Tianjian's lineage strengthened Zi Chenxue's feeling.
Then…
Zi Chenxue became interested in a third person besides Miaomiao and the mysterious person who gave guidance to Miaomiao.
She especially wanted to understand why Xia Ji gave her this feeling.
When a woman becomes interested in someone or something, she will transform into a cat.
If you don't know the answer, you won't be able to sleep.
And if this person or thing is interesting enough, then women will be obsessed with it and find it difficult to extricate themselves.
After all, Zi Chenxue is not Miaomiao who has not grown up, and is not so easy to fool...
As time passed, she became "hard to extricate herself" from Xia Ji.
Because... this man is too mysterious.
He seems to have countless secrets.
No,
Rather than saying it is a secret, it is better to say that he himself is a secret.
Zi Chenxue has never seen such a person before.
Since the rabbit was not waiting for him and the sword cultivator did not come, Zi Chenxue decided not to wait foolishly, but to do something.
And now that Miaomiao already has a teacher, it’s hard for her to give guidance...
In this way, Zi Chenxue was eyeing Xia Ji.
Although the Heavenly Sword lineage is passed down from female to male, wouldn't it be nice if she didn't pass on Xia Ji's "Heavenly Sword lineage" swordsmanship.
She has been a student for nearly a hundred years, and it is rare for her to become a teacher, but the result has not yet been achieved.
Then, just accept this mysterious young man, get over the addiction of being a teacher first, and then slowly wait for the mysterious sword cultivator.
…
This morning,
Zi Chenxue took advantage of Miaomiao's outing and decided to give this young man a chance.
A delicate voice sounded in the empty room.
"Qi Mo, are you willing to accept me as your teacher?"
Xia Ji glanced at her and said without sadness or joy: "I am a student of Tingxue Academy. I am not allowed to join other sects."
Zi Chenxue said: "I'm not asking you to switch to other sects, so it doesn't matter."
Xia Ji looked at the purple-clothed sword immortal. After getting along with him these days, he had a vague assessment of the sword immortal's strength - he should have reached the magical realm.
However, because of the heaven and earth, the level of magical power in this ancient Hades era should be much stronger than that of tens of millions of years later, and the span in between is also very large.
Zi Chenxue looked into his eyes curiously.
Those eyes were clean, refreshing, neither humble nor arrogant, looking straight at her.
Xia Ji suddenly said: "Then Fairy Bai, are you willing to do me a small favor first?"
Zi Chenxue was a little angry. If you don't want the opportunity, do you still want my help
Xia Ji said frankly: "I had a chance at Tingxue Academy, and the dean promised to give me the Bagua Spirit Gathering Array...
These days, I have explored Cangyun Mountain and found the place to set up the formation.
However, I lack someone to defend the formation. If Fairy Bai can help me defend the formation, I will definitely make the fairy wish. "
As you wish
Zi Chenxue stuck out her tongue coldly.
As soon as she stuck out her tongue, she saw the boy opposite looking at her with a smile.
Zi Chenxue suddenly became even more angry. She felt that her little temper was actually seen by the young man in front of her, but it was not a joke...
Because, the young man's eyes had a somewhat amiable feeling, as if a wise man who had read all the world and was accustomed to the age was looking at her.
Zi Chenxue is going crazy.
Damn it.
What is amiable
Why do you feel so damned
She took a deep breath to calm down.
But the curiosity about this boy in my heart grew even more.
She thought about it and realized that protecting the formation was not a big deal.
Although the spirit gathering array is powerful, it can only be used once, and the person who uses the spirit gathering array cannot control the stop of the array.
Generally speaking, once the person in the center of the spirit gathering array stops absorbing spiritual energy, the array will automatically end.
Therefore, it is completely luxurious for a young man who does not even have the blood power to use the spirit gathering array.
Zi Chenxue secretly said in her heart:
"The most you can do is use the Spirit Gathering Formation to generate some true energy, and then just protect the formation. It won't take too long.
What's more, this way, you can also take this opportunity to observe him more. "
Thinking of this,
Zi Chenxue responded: "Okay, I will help you protect the formation.
However, you have to remember what you said. "
Xia Ji said gently: "When it is done, I will make the fairy's wish come true."
