Chapter 1848

There are dozens of high and low peaks, large and small, protruding from the sea in the holy church, and the functions of these peaks are also different.

For example, Peiyuan Peak where disciples who have not passed the entrance examination can practice, such as Dianjiao Peak, which specializes in collecting books and collections, such as Xiange Mountain, the undoubted core of the holy hall.

There are also Xingyu Peak that specializes in commandments and confinement of prisoners, Baihua Peak that specializes in cultivating spirit grass, and Wanshou Peak that specializes in captive spiritual beasts.

In addition to these peaks with a single purpose, there are more peaks where the masters teach and practice, and the real disciples of the temple practice their lives.

Among these peaks, the twelve peaks with school palaces are the highest.

In each school, there is a teacher with the highest status, because in the holy hall, only the school teacher is qualified to wear a golden Taoist robe, so the school teacher is also called the golden robe teacher.

There are always only twelve schools, and only when there is a vacancy in the teaching position of a certain school, can there be a new qualified teacher to replace it.

The qualification to become a school teacher is that the strength must be at least above that of Wendao, but at present, all the school teachers in the temple are basically above the true immortals.

By analogy, to become an ordinary teacher, to be qualified to wear a red Taoist robe is to have a strength above that of returning to the void.

And the gentleman in the blue Taoist robe is stronger than Huashen.

Under the most powerful and outstanding twelve Xuegong peaks, there are Sifang peaks in the southeast, northwest, and other ordinary peaks.

In the earth-shattering entrance examination a few years ago, all the 113 outer disciples on Peiyuan Peak passed the examination and became true inner disciples of the holy hall.

Among them, Shi Yuan, the disciple who once took the same boat with Ye Tian to the holy hall, was also one of them.

With Shi Yuan's aptitude, although he was ranked among the top 18 disciples on the same ship, according to the usual situation, it is still very dangerous for him to pass the entrance examination.

But under Ye Tian's careful teaching, Shi Yuan's strength has grown by leaps and bounds visible to the naked eye, and finally passed the assessment steadily, becoming an inner disciple and staying in the holy hall.

Later, every time Shi Yuan recalled the time since he met Ye Tian on the boat, Shi Yuan would feel very embarrassed.

Although Shi Yuan had already apologized to Ye Tian at the end on the boat, he had to say that he was still a little unconvinced at the time.

It wasn't until the period of cultivating in Peiyuan Peak that Shi Yuan's strength improved by leaps and bounds under Ye Tian's ignorant guidance, that he completely changed his mind.

For Ye Tian, ​​it was his own intention to point out all the disciples of Peiyuan Peak at that time, but in the hearts of these disciples, it was completely different. After three years, everyone regarded Ye Tian as a real their teacher.

And because of the experience that Shi Yuan took the lead in misunderstanding Ye Tian on the boat, and also took the initiative to speak provocatively, Shi Yuan was full of guilt towards Ye Tian.

This kind of psychological thinking made Shi Yuan respect Ye Tian more than the rest of the people later, and may be second only to Zhan Tai among the many disciples.

In addition to taking a lot of effort to find and treasure the crooked word 'Tao' that Ye Tian wrote to him back then, Shi Yuan took the initiative to speak for Ye Tian in many places.

For example, it was Shi Yuan's initial proposal to build the rough cobblestone path into a smooth bluestone road.

It may be because Zhan Tai was just an ordinary fisherman since he was a child. Although he is extremely talented, his personality is still a little restrained in comparison.

As for Shi Yuan, he is tall and tall, and his talent for being the best among the people around him since childhood filled him with confidence and pride. He especially likes to speak up for justice, and he draws his sword to help when the road is injustice. His prestige has always been around, and the people around him are still very good.

But after passing the entrance examination and becoming a real inner disciple, Shi Yuan encountered some setbacks.

The mountain that Shi Yuan worshiped was Beichen Peak among the Sifang Peaks in the southeast, northwest, and it was second only to the Twelve Xuegong Peaks among the peaks of the Holy Hall.

The peak master of Beichen Peak is Hongpao instructor Li Hongtian, whose cultivation is at the peak of returning to the void, and he is only one step away from Wendao, and he is also an experienced Hongpao instructor.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be on Beichen Peak.

Under Li Hongtian's sect, there are also quite a few disciples practicing in Beichen Peak. Shi Yuan, who is the newest disciple, is naturally at the bottom of the ranking.

He didn't rank at the bottom, only because among the 113 meter disciples on Peiyuan Peak at that time, besides Shi Yuan, two others also entered Beichen Peak together.

One of them is called Mei Xue, and the other is called Xie Jin.

Both Xie Jin and Shi Yuan came to the Holy Church on the same boat, so they are very familiar with each other. Besides Zhan Tai, Xie Jin was also one of the disciples who often asked Ye Tian for advice at first.

Although Mei Xue was met later on Peiyuan Peak, during those three years, everyone practiced hard with Ye Tian, ​​became familiar with her, and had a very good relationship.

Especially Xie Jin and Mei Xue seem to still have some youthful affection. Part of the reason Xie Jin came to Beichen Peak is because of Shi Yuan, while Mei Xue is because of Xie Jin.

Compared to Shi Yuan, Xie Jin and Mei Xue's talents were a bit mediocre in a place like the holy hall where monsters gather. It can be said that without Ye Tian's help, the two of them would never have passed the entrance examination.

So in this way, after entering Beichen Peak, they naturally received the contempt of Beichen Peak's original inner sect disciples.

On the outside, the three of them are definitely the type of people at the top of the pyramid of talent and aptitude, and they can only look down on others, but here, they can only be looked down upon.

After all, these inner disciples before were all the top geniuses. According to the usual practice, when they practiced on Peiyuan Peak, their aptitude and talent were at least one tenth of the top.

However, this group of disciples all passed the entrance examination. Although they did successfully achieve the ability to pass the entrance examination, in the eyes of everyone in the temple, they believed that the completion of this feat was not because these disciples had the ability to pass the entrance examination. How powerful, the most powerful is Ye Tian who taught them.

Everyone thought in their hearts that if they hadn't met Ye Tian this time, people like Shi Yuan, Mei Xue, and Xie Jin would not have passed the examination and were not qualified to become inner disciples.

They just ran into the most outstanding deacon in the history of the church, so they were lucky enough to have the same identity as them, and joined the same teacher's practice life.

It wasn't just Shi Yuan and the others on Beichen Peak, in fact, except for Zhan Tai who was too talented, the rest of the same group of disciples had received similar accusations.

It also includes the few disciples who have enough talent and ability to pass the entrance examination, but they must have less negative impact.

And those disciples whose talents and abilities are lower will naturally suffer more.

This can be regarded as some unavoidable situations.

Faced with this kind of influence, some people would choose to endure and give in, but Shi Yuan was obviously not in this category.

At the beginning, there was not much intense conflict, but some emotions were accumulated in my heart.

But as time goes by, this kind of emotion must be more and more, deeper and deeper.

Until one day, the two parties finally had a disagreement on the allocation of some cultivation resources.

In the eyes of the old disciples of Beichen Peak, disciples like Shi Yuan and the others, who were lucky enough to pass the entrance examination, were not worthy of the normal quota of spirit stone pills and so on.

However, Shi Yuan and the others believed that no matter whether they were in Ye Tian's favor or not, when they passed the entrance examination, they had reached enough strength to be recognized by the Holy Church before entering Beichen Peak.

And this is a resource given to all official disciples by the Holy Church. No matter what, these old disciples are at least not qualified to deprive them.

This disagreement was like a fuse. First, an old disciple forcibly withheld Mei Xue's belongings. Xie Jin was naturally unwilling, and ended up being injured by that person.

Shi Yuan, who had been trying to endure from the beginning to the end, finally broke out.

Shi Yuan defeated several old disciples, and finally the matter was temporarily calmed down by the teacher Li Hongtian.

But the contradiction has become so great that it is completely irreparable.

Especially the representative of the old disciples, Ming Liangbi, the head disciple of Beichen Peak who is most loved by Li Hongtian, stood naked in opposition to Shi Yuan and the others. Li Hongtian's perception of Shi Yuan and the others was also influenced by this person, and suspicions began to arise .

After all, strictly speaking, Shi Yuan's first teacher in the church was not Li Hongtian, but Ye Tian.

Originally, if Shi Yuan and the others were honest and honest, Li Hongtian might not care about it with their actual performance.

But once the incident happened this time, especially after it was processed into Shi Yuan and the others who disobeyed discipline and made trouble on Beichen Peak, Li Hongtian couldn't ignore this problem.

Slowly, several years passed, and the three of Shi Yuan were almost isolated by Beichen Peak.

In fact, it is not impossible to practice, after all, no matter what, the conditions in the temple are unique.

However, if there are some problems in practice, or similar to the previous situation where resources were maliciously withheld for no reason, don't try to solve them.

Another important reason is the existence of Ye Tian.

Originally, in Shi Yuan's opinion, although Ye Tian's identity was just a small deacon, far inferior to Li Hongtian's red-robed instructor who was in charge of a peak, and Ye Tian's cultivation was even more humble, Li Hongtian was at the peak of returning to the void.

But when it comes to teaching students and answering their questions, ten Li Hongtians may not be able to catch up with Ye Tian.

Although it seems unbelievable, even ridiculous, in Shi Yuan's personal experience, this is the truth.

And what makes people firm is that Shi Yuan is not the only one who thinks so, Xie Jin and Mei Xue also hold the same point of view.

So Shi Yuan and the others had been shut down many times, and after seeing Li Hongtian's attitude towards them clearly, they simply went to Peiyuan Peak to ask Ye Tian for advice. As for the fixed pills and spirit stones that the temple gave inner disciples, they naturally gave up on their own initiative.

The Holy Church restricted the disciples of Peiyuan Peak to go to other peaks, but did not prohibit the disciples of the inner sect from going to Peiyuan Peak. So in this way, Shi Yuan and the others seemed to have turned around and returned to the original place.

Of course, their identities must be different from Zeng Jin's, and now they still live and practice in Beichen Peak, and only occasionally go to Peiyuan Peak to ask questions.

In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed.

During this period, there were also some other disciples who, like Shi Yuan and the others, chose to go to Peiyuan Peak to ask Ye Tian for advice because they were more or less excluded and oppressed after worshiping in various peaks.

On this day, at the foot of Beichen Peak.

Shi Yuan was on the pier watching the waves in the sea crashing on the shore layer by layer. Over the past few years, his figure has become a little bigger and his complexion has become a little darker. A deep scar ran across half of the cheek from the corner of the eye.

"Senior Brother Shi, we are here, sorry to keep you waiting," Xie Jin and Mei Xue hurried over and saluted in a panic.

"Did Ming Xiangyu trouble you again?" Seeing the two of them, Shi Yuan frowned and asked with a gloomy expression.

Ming Xiangyu is now the younger brother of Beichenfeng's big brother Ming Liangbi, and he was also the one who troubled Mei Xue and injured Xie Jin when the conflict broke out.

"It's okay, let's go, don't make Gao Yue wait any longer." Xie Jin said.

Shi Yuan snorted coldly, was about to say something, but was interrupted.

"Senior Brother Shi, it's really nothing. He just accused us of running to Peiyuan Peak, and he didn't suffer any harm." Mei Xue said hastily.

She worried that Shi Yuan was in a hurry, and another conflict broke out.

Now all the rest of Beichen Peak, including the instructor Li Hongtian, have settled the three of them out. Under such circumstances, there is definitely no way for the three of them to fight them.

There was another conflict the year before. After Ming Xiangyu practiced hard, he wanted to find trouble with Shi Yuan again, avenge Shi Yuan's injury at the beginning, but lost to Shi Yuan again in the end, and even this time he had to fight even harder. awful.

As a result, Shi Yuan was punished extremely severely by Li Hongtian, and was directly caught as a prisoner, Xing Prison Peak, who is synonymous with terror in the temple, was released after three months of torture.

The scar on Shi Yuan's face today was left at that time.

"Don't worry, what we have to do now is to practice with all our strength, and when we have enough strength, we can fight against them." Shi Yuan glanced back at the towering Beichen Peak, gritted his teeth and said firmly: "You Ye Brother Tian taught me, I believe that I have the opportunity to surpass all of them!"

Xie Jin and Mei Xue also nodded seriously.

The three of them didn't hesitate any longer, boarded a small boat, jumped from the surface of the water, flew into the sky, kept at the height of the mountainsides of the surrounding peaks, and headed towards Peiyuan Peak.

After a while, the boat came to Peiyuan Peak, lowered its altitude, and finally stopped on the sea.

On the shore, several disciples wearing blue Taoist robes were already waiting.

The leader is a woman, her name is Gao Yue, she was also on the same boat as Shi Yuan and the others when she came to the holy hall, and she was the first to believe in Ye Tian, ​​and actually regarded Ye Tian as a disciple of the master.

Several people saluted each other after meeting.

"I've been waiting for a long time," Mei Xue said politely to Gao Yue worried that it was too late.

"It's okay, don't worry, I have to wait for another person today," Gao Yue said, "Zhan Tai will come later."

"Zhantai?" When the people next to him heard this name, they all raised their spirits.

After passing the entrance examination that year, Zhan Tai's talent undoubtedly shocked the entire holy hall, pushing that entrance examination to a climax again, and alarmed the professor of the Digital Academy to personally come forward and want to accept Zhan Tai as his disciple.

Later, Zhan Tai chose to enter the School of the Earth, and became a teacher of the famous school in the holy hall, Taoist Mo Yu.

Taoist Mo Yu is one of the top experts in the temple.

At the same time, where there are people, there will be disputes, and if there are disputes, there will naturally be high and low. In fact, there are divisions of strength and weakness among the twelve academic palaces. Of course, this division is not a rule of the church, but a measure in everyone's mind.

Among them, the Earth Academy is also the strongest category among the Twelve Academy.

Being able to become a disciple of Taoist Moyu and practice in the Palace of Earth Learning, regardless of your own position, or the various top-notch resources brought by these backgrounds, this starting point has already been reached in the holy hall peak.

And different from their disciples who still suffered from ostracism and contempt in ordinary mountains, with Zhan Tai's talent, even in the Earth Academy, he must be the top class.

Even with the practice in the past few years, because of Zhan Tai's outstanding performance in the Earth School Palace, his reputation has been firmly spread. People in the temple are talking about it. It is very likely that after decades, Zhan Tai will be very promising. Become the best disciple who can represent the Holy Church.

Several people were feeling their thoughts because of this name, and a golden boat came over the sea ahead.

That is the color that only the disciples in the twelve school palaces can use when traveling.

The person who came down was Zhan Tai, and on his chest, there was a symbol inlaid with gold rims, which was the symbol of the earth.

In other words, this is the symbol of the Palace of Earth Studies.

Each school has its own unique logo, which is what distinguishes the disciples who cultivate in the twelve schools from other inner disciples.

Seeing that the people on the bank were waiting for him, Zhan Tai smiled and walked quickly towards the crowd, then clasped his fists in salute.

Everyone also walked a few steps towards Zhantai, saluted each other and exchanged a few pleasantries.

Then pass through the mountain gate together and walk along the mountain road to the top of Peiyuan Peak.

Ten years have passed, and the Qingshiban Mountain Road of Peiyuan Peak remains the same as before.

However, the disciples who practiced in twos and threes during the period have all changed their faces.

Walking on the mountain road, everyone felt a little bit emotional, and they all thought of the years when they practiced in Peiyuan Peak.

Although Peiyuan Peak must be much simpler than the Inner Gate Mountain where they live and practice now, everyone just thinks it is kind.

Looking at those disciples who are working hard in the forest, under the pine, by the stone, and by the stream to pass the entrance examination, everyone will not have the mentality of being superior to others, thinking that they are better than those disciples.

In the past ten years, the entrance examination has been held three times. Although there is no unwritten rule that only allows self-study at the beginning, and there is a teacher to teach, the number of disciples who can pass the entrance examination is basically maintained at about one-tenth. It's just a few more than before.

Of course, this further proved Ye Tian's power from the side.

Thinking of Ye Tian, ​​everyone quickened their pace a bit.

Not long after, he had come to the small lake.

Zhan Tai's footsteps stopped, and he subconsciously looked at several small courtyards on the side.

He once lived there for three years.

There are several disciples of Peiyuan Peak who are working hard to practice.

Zhantai's blue Taoist robes were obviously inner sect disciples sizing up, those disciples just stopped for a while, saluted politely from a distance, and then continued to concentrate on their cultivation.

Because there are many inner sect disciples who came to see Deacon Ye Tian, ​​they have already seen the strangeness.

Zhantai and the others returned their salutes to the disciples, then continued to walk across the small bridge, around the small lake, through the woods, and finally came to the remote courtyard.

Ten years later, the style of the small courtyard is still exactly the same as before, Ye Tian has not made any changes, the only difference is that the fence surrounding the small courtyard was only half a person high.

But now the luxuriant vines and branches have grown so that the fence has exceeded the height of a person, and it is difficult to see what the inside of the small courtyard looks like.

At the main entrance, a few disciples in cyan robes came out of the small courtyard. Their faces were a little strange, and they should not be the group of Peiyuanfeng disciples who were with them back then.

Everyone nodded to each other and passed by.

Zhan Tai and the others entered the door and saw several stone benches placed in twos and threes in the small courtyard. Ye Tian just sat there casually, reading a book in his hand.

Having not seen each other for several years, Zhan Tai, Shi Yuan, and Gao Yue have undergone considerable changes in their appearance and temperament. They are obviously more mature, less childish, and more stable.

But in the eyes of several people, Ye Tian has not changed at all.
