Chapter 157

Seeing that Zhang Xiaohua was anxious, Zhang Xiaohu said to He Tianshu with a smile: "This disciple has just entered the sect and knows little about the sect. Can I ask Uncle He to explain?"

He Tianshu thought for a while, and said to Zhang Xiaohua: "These are some common sense in the world, so it's okay to tell you. The ordinary disciples of my Misty Sect are divided into two types: commoner disciples and brocade disciples."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help interrupting, saying: "It's not fair, Captain He, why is Misty Sect also discriminating? If you have money, you can be a brocade disciple, but if you don't have money, you have to be a commoner disciple?"

He Tianshu glared at him angrily, and said, "Can you listen to me? I don't know if it's impolite to interrupt others?"

Li Jinfeng looked at Zhang Xiaohua with a smile. After all, he was a teenager, with his second brother by his side, and He Tianshu who was equivalent to his master.

Zhang Xiaohua stuck out her tongue and didn't dare to answer.

He Tianshu went on to say: "The difference between commoner clothes and brocade clothes does not lie in whether they have money. The disciples of Misty Sect are all recruited into the sect at the age of four or five. They are trained by special people. They don't do business, and they don't have parents. In front of you, where did you get the money? The fundamental difference lies in the cultivation of martial arts and the contribution to the Misty Sect. All disciples start out as commoners. Commoner disciples are divided into ten levels, and each level has to be cultivated. The content includes boxing techniques, sword techniques, palm techniques, and internal skills and mental techniques. Commoner disciples cannot practice other techniques beyond the level. After the skills of this level have been practiced and tested by a special person, they can proceed to the next level. In fact, many internal skills, palm techniques, sword techniques, etc. are also layered. Every level of commoner disciples also corresponds to a layer of some exercises. Only when they are advanced can they practice the lower level Opportunity."

Zhang Xiaohua was surprised, and asked: "Captain He, what does this have to do with the Martial Arts Conference?"

Just after asking, as if he understood something, he said to himself: "Could it be that this martial arts competition is the test you mentioned?"

He Tianshu had a teachable look on his face, and said gratifiedly: "Zhang Xiaohua's brain is still very bright, you guessed it right, this martial arts competition is a test for disciples to advance, and it is held once a year."

Zhang Xiaohua proudly said: "Then, does this disciple advance once a year?"

He Tianshu said with a smile: "That's right, the disciples who can join my Misty Sect must be those with outstanding talents. In addition, the school teaches students according to their aptitude, most of the disciples can advance once a year."

Suddenly, Li Jinfeng laughed and said, "Captain He, it sounds like the students in our college have an exam every year, and if you pass the exam, you can go to a higher place to study."

He Tianshu was taken aback, and said: "It's probably about the same. After all, the essence of martial arts and writing is to improve. If there is improvement, there must be an assessment standard. Although the standards are different, the essence is the same."

At this time, Zhang Xiaohu spoke and asked: "Uncle He, just now you were talking about disciples in common clothes, but what about disciples in brocade clothes?"

He Tianshu took a sip of tea, and then said: "If the commoner has completed all ten levels and passes the test, he can become a disciple of Jinyi, but Jinyi disciples are divided into five levels, and they are also assessed by the Martial Arts Conference every year. , the cultivation of Jinyi disciples is different from that of commoner disciples. Commoner disciples have the same training content for each level, while Jinyi disciples teach different exercises according to each person's aptitude. For example, if Zhang Xiaohu advances to Jinyi, If you have unique interests or insights in boxing, you may be able to practice the advanced boxing techniques of the Misty School."

Li Jinfeng nodded, and said: "The ancients said that there is no limit to learning, but I have a limit to life. Only when you specialize in learning can you achieve impressive achievements. The students in brocade clothes of your sect probably specialize in one skill based on their own strengths. "

He Tianshu said with a smile: "It's better to learn prose, and the words are polite, and what you say is very reasonable. I sent predecessors to formulate these rules, maybe this is the reason.

However, there is a difference between Jinyi disciples and commoner disciples in the assessment. Although commoner disciples pass the competition test, the winners will of course be advanced, while the losers can also advance if they have enough skills and get the referee's approval. On the contrary, Jinyi disciples have stricter standards. Even if they win the competition, if they are not approved by the referee, they will not be able to advance. "

Afterwards, he said in a strange tone: "And there is no limit to the number of times this Jinyi disciple can take the test. As long as you fail the test, you have to continue the test until you pass the test. If you fail the test all the time, you will never be able to advance. How many years."

This time, He Tianshu felt that Zhang Xiaohua was staring at him all the time, and asked very strangely: "Zhang Xiaohua, what are you looking at me for? I have flowers on my face?"

Zhang Xiaohua giggled and said, "I want to know, what level is Captain He at now?"

He Tianshu had the same eyebrows, with a serious face, and said: "Well, Zhang Xiaohua, what I told you just now is the common sense of the Misty School. Many people in the world know it, so it's okay to say it. As for my rank The problem, but it involves the secrets of my Misty Sect, I can't just disclose it to you, and you don't want to ask too much, this influence is not good."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua's heart trembled. He didn't know anything about the Misty Sect, so he quickly said, "Okay, I understand, Captain He, let's continue."

He Tianshu said: "It's good to know, but there is nothing to say."

Li Jinfeng asked: "Captain He, can you tell us how to distinguish commoner disciples from Jinyi disciples? I seem to have heard people say that gangs in Jianghu use the color of their clothes to distinguish their identities, and what cuffs do they use? Marks and other things to indicate the level."

He Tianshu sneered when he heard this, and said: "This kind of method is extremely rough, it seems that my Misty Sect did it a long time ago, but it was abolished later."

Zhang Xiaohua became curious, and quickly asked, "Why is that? Isn't it good?"

He Tianshu said: "First of all, think about it, my Misty Sect is a huge gang, how many disciples are there, and how many levels are there? Each level must be marked with different colored clothes, so the whole gang is colorful? What a famous school, Liyuan is similar. Besides, if it is marked on the cuffs, it is a specialization. This is too different from the standardization advocated by my school now. In fact, there is one more point..."

He Tianshu acted mysteriously, and said in a low voice: "In my opinion, every piece of clothing needs to be marked, and the cost is too high. Although the faction has money, the ancients said that many times, the landlord's family has no food left. It’s better to live within our means, as force and financial resources are the two major factors for the development of gangs, we can’t just waste money on trivial matters, right?”

When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, she felt sorry for her, she stroked her palm and said, "Captain He said so, it won my heart, and the money will be used wisely."

The other two were also stunned.

However, He Tianshu went on to say: "Moreover, if a person's strength can only be seen from his clothes, from the perspective of my sect, there will be obvious differences in dignity, which is not conducive to harmony and unity, and it is also very easy to Promoting the formation of small groups and small hills is not conducive to the competition and development of disciples. The most important thing, think about it, for the enemies of Misty Sect, if they can see your strength from your clothes, then they will have to work hard What kind of information are you looking for? You have a bunch of people wearing different clothes with different labels on them. People can tell what your cultivation level is and how powerful you are at a glance. They will naturally send people who are stronger than you to trouble you. You Isn't it always under the control of others, without any privacy?"

Everyone nodded their heads, and He Tianshu said proudly: "So, the ancestors of my Misty Sect wisely abolished the bad habits of people from the clothed area. Ordinary disciples generally wear ordinary clothes."

Zhang Xiaohua asked again: "Then Captain He, when is this year's martial arts competition?"

He Tianshu said: "I guess it will be a month later, this is a grand occasion for my sect, I'm really looking forward to it."

Zhang Xiaohua took the opportunity to ask: "Captain He, are you ready?"

He Tianshu smiled triumphantly: "I wasn't sure at first, didn't I just learn "Misty Steps", I have..."

Afterwards, he realized something and said, "This is a secret in the sect, so it's better not to ask too much."

Zhang Xiaohua said with a sneer: "Then, can I come and see?"

He Tianshu said with a smile: "Huanxi Villa is originally a branch of the Misty Sect. You can enter the Misty Sect with the waist card of the villa on weekdays. Although the guards were tight in those few days, you must be able to enter."

Zhang Xiaohua was very happy when she heard this, and asked again: "Then can I participate in this martial arts competition?"

He Tianshu frowned and said, "This martial arts performance is only for my disciples to test. What fun are you having? Hey, by the way, it seems that I have heard that people from Huanxi Villa and Lotus Bodyguard Bureau participated in it before. It has been a long time. At that time I'm still young, so I have some vague impressions, but now, no one else has participated."

Zhang Xiaohua wondered: "Why is this? Then how can I participate?"

He Tianshu smiled and said, "How would I know this? If you want to participate, go back and ask Zhuang Zhu Ou."

Zhang Xiaohu asked with concern: "Xiaohua, do you really want to participate? You know that boxing technique? Have you never practiced internal strength?"

Zhang Xiaohua looked at her second brother, smiled and comforted her: "Second brother, I'm just talking, come and watch the fun, besides, my boxing skills are not bad, and I taught a group of street ruffians a lesson last time."

Everyone smiled wryly, the ancients said it well, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, this little flower really doesn't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth.

However, if you really don't have this vigor, can you still be called a young man?

Even a young man from the countryside.

The three of them chatted with Zhang Xiaohu for a while, and then they left. Zhang Xiaohua carefully hid the book "Rang Niu Jin" in his arms, and then said goodbye to his second brother who was still looking at her reluctantly at the gate of the courtyard.

Although I have already started to practice the "Worriless Heart Sutra", but after all, my aptitude is limited and I have not made any progress, and this "Reckless Bull Strength" was obtained by my second brother hard from Wen Daxia. Xiaohua definitely has no reason not to cherish it.

He Tianshu brought them to the archway, but didn't go out with them. He had something to do in the camp, so naturally he had to go to the Pharmacy Hall.

Zhang Xiaohua and Li Jinfeng bid farewell to He Tianshu, and came to the "Galloping" carriage together. Li Jinfeng was a frail scholar, unlike Zhang Xiaohua, energetic and careful about money, so naturally he took the carriage.

By the time Zhang Xiaohua bid farewell to Li Jinfeng and returned to Huanxi Villa, it was almost noon, there was no one in the medicine field, and the Misty Sect's martial arts performance meeting was just around the corner. The second-class people obviously spend less time in the medicine field.

Fortunately, the herbs in this medicine field are still growing vigorously, except for weeding and other chores, they are not bothersome, and Zhang Xiaohua doesn't mind doing more.

Zhang Xiaohua got out of the medicine field, cleaned it up in a short time, then sat down on the ridge of the field, and carefully took out the book "Rang Niu Jin" given by Zhang Xiaohu.

This book is called "Reckless Bull Strength", the secret manual is very thin, and Zhang Xiaohua is not a first-time brother. After a general look, there is a spectrum in his heart. The method Zhang Xiaohu mentioned before is similar, and the route of inner strength in the body is also simple, which is much worse than the first layer of "Worriless Heart Sutra".

After reading "Brave Bull Strength", Zhang Xiaohua read it silently in her mind, and compared it with the cheat book, she felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so she sat cross-legged according to the secret book, with her five hearts turned up to the sky, eyes closed and meditating, this is what Zhang Xiaohua did some time ago I have done it countless times, and now I am familiar with it.

Zhang Xiaohua closed her eyes, thinking that there was a warm current flowing from her forehead in her mind, and then she made a swallowing gesture with Yujin, and repeated, repeated, and repeated.

Until Zhang Xiaohua saw sweat on his forehead, and felt bored in his heart, he didn't feel any sense of anger.

For no reason, Zhang Xiaohua became restless for a while, swallowed her saliva, and opened her eyes.

Looking at the strong medicinal herbs in front of her eyes, and looking at the still bare medicinal field next to her, Zhang Xiaohua thought to herself, "Could it be that I am the seed without buds? I have no chance to succeed?"

Zhang Xiaohua smiled wryly, mocking herself, maybe she was really stupid.

Zhang Xiaohua looked up, looked at the sky, and there was still time before lunch, so she calmed down, crossed her legs again, closed her eyes, and did the "nine shallow and one deep" breathing.

At first, Zhang Xiaohua hadn't shaken off the previous failure of "Rang Niu Jin", so she couldn't help shortness of breath and found it difficult to enter the alley, but Zhang Xiaohua may be stupid, but what she lacks is tenacity, a kind of disposition that becomes more courageous after setbacks, after a while, He gradually entered an inexplicable state, his "nine shallow and one deep" breathing gradually matched the frequency of the night, arousing Zhang Xiaohua's whole body bit by bit, the pores on his body gradually opened, Naturally, Zhang Xiaohua used the method in the Heart Sutra to perceive the vitality of the world outside.

At first, there was no sense of touch, but Zhang Xiaohua was not discouraged, or he was neither happy nor sad, and his mood was peaceful, so he didn't feel discouraged. He only knew that there was endless emptiness outside, only endless seeking, Only then can there be first-line results.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly, Zhang Xiaohua sensed a trace of heaven and earth energy similar to that described in the Heart Sutra. He was overjoyed, and was about to use his mental method to absorb it, but because of his mental state, he could no longer feel it. .

Zhang Xiaohua opened her eyes, but there was a smile on her lips. Although the absorption failed for the first time, it was a huge improvement for Zhang Xiaohua who had never felt the vitality of the world.

A milestone in progress.

He, Zhang Xiaohua, finally has a sense of aura! ! !

Zhang Xiaohua was about to practice her kung fu again, but when she saw the sky, she couldn't help being shocked, "Ouch", she immediately jumped up from the ground, it was already past noon, but she didn't know there was still lunch to eat?

After a while, I saw Zhang Xiaohua holding a few buns in his hand, and slowly walking back with a bun in his mouth. Zhang Xiaohua's meals are still the same as before, and she has never been sent off by a special person like Yu Lao, so naturally no one will wait for him, and the first-class meals on the table are also in the envy of Ma Jing and others, turning cold, Recycle. There were only a few cold buns waiting for Zhang Xiaohua, and when Zhang Xiaohua knew that Nie Xiaoer and the others hadn't gone to eat, she couldn't help but feel a little stunned. If she went early, wouldn't she be able to enjoy a table of delicious food by herself? ?

Zhang Xiaohua, who was filling her hunger, still didn't forget the feeling just now, and couldn't restrain the urge to try again, so she went back to the medicine field while eating buns.

Sitting back on the field ridge again, Zhang Xiaohua took a deep breath, first to calm down the fluctuating mood, the experience just now made him feel a little bit, to draw the breath into the body, one must have a peaceful state of mind, as straight as an ancient well , put can succeed.

After a while, Zhang Xiaohua felt her surroundings gradually quiet down, knowing that it was time, she sat cross-legged, with her five hearts turned to the sky, doing the "nine shallow and one deep" things, and sure enough, this time it went smoothly After entering a rather peaceful state, Zhang Xiaohua taught the Heart Sutra again, sensing the vitality of the outside world.

Not long after, Zhang Xiaohua had a new feeling. He felt that his consciousness was constantly swimming in the world outside him like a fish, as if he was looking for delicious food.

Zhang Xiaohua likes this kind of feeling very much, a kind of searching and searching, soaring freely.

I don't know how long it took, Zhang Xiaohua once again sensed a trace of heaven and earth vitality, this time he was not particularly happy, it seemed that this was exactly what he expected, he followed the Heart Sutra, his perception turned into a swimming fish, and he was indifferent He drew that vitality towards himself.

The vitality was originally going downwards, but with the traction of Zhang Xiaohua's consciousness, it immediately changed its direction, slowly drifting towards Zhang Xiaohua, and when it came close, before Zhang Xiaohua had other thoughts, the vitality seemed to be attracted by something , rushing into Zhang Xiaohua's body quickly, I don't know which pore it passed through, but this Zhang Xiaohua doesn't have such thoughts, he is still waiting for this heaven and earth vitality to circulate in his body, so as to explore the mysteries of inner strength and mental methods .

It's a pity that the trace of vitality entered the body, but it was not as described in the Heart Sutra, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't feel where it went!
