when the wind and cloud cry

Chapter 5
When Qi Heng brought the two of them to Songzi Valley, it was already completely dark.

He is the only son of Qi Beihong, the only disciple and grandson of Zhenren Tianji.

Regardless of how much older he is than Shen Li, he has been fascinated by the way of self-cultivation and qi training since he was a child. Although he has a good background, his mind is not on the way of cultivation. He prefers to study strange insect poisons and is proficient in pharmacology. He is still only a fifth-rank imperial guard .

In a word, it is not doing business properly.

Qi Heng took the two of them to an attic, and said that this was the residence of Liuyun, the uncle of the Fifth Master, Ouye.

The two thanked them and Qi Heng left.

After Shen Li entered the room, he saw a table, a chair, a wooden bed, and a wooden staircase with a handrail at the head of the bed, leading directly to the room on the second floor.

Unexpectedly, the adoptive father's house is so simple.

After closing the door, in an instant, the whole world suddenly became silent, only Cicada outside the window was screaming tirelessly.

Shen Li silently walked to the table, looking at the unfamiliar environment in front of him, this place will be with him for a long time in the future.

Si Shengxuan was already so exhausted that he fell asleep without saying a word.

Early the next morning, Si Shengxuan was taken to Fenghui Ridge by Li Yunjing.

Although it was a pity that we were not in the same lineage, but thinking that we could see each other often in the future, Shen Ru gathered his mood and followed Lin Chu out.

The air that hits your face is mixed with the fragrance of flowers, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

It was already late last night. When I looked at it again today, the back of this attic was a cliff, connected with a cable bridge made of iron chains, leading straight to the opposite cliff.

The wind howled, and it was cold.

"That's Shen Jianchi, it's a forbidden place in my gate, no trespassing allowed!" Lin Chu's voice was solemn.

"Is the shocking evil soldier I sent also in Shen Jianchi?" Shen Li looked across the iron chain bridge, feeling a little sad.

"Every disciple in our sect who dies in battle or seals his sword in Shen Jianchi is equivalent to burying his grievances, and they are all things that have no owner!" Lin Chu said.

Shen Li let out an "oh", and at the same time his stomach growled.

Lin Chu smiled and said, "Brother, let's go eat something first, and get familiar with the terrain in the mountains by the way."

Then he pinched out the sword formula with his left hand, and only heard a crisp sword cry, and the long sword flew out of the scabbard behind itself, and Lin Chuyi grasped it.

He put his arms around Shen Li's waist, and the two of them soared into the sky, heading straight to the sky.

It was the first time for Shen Li to experience this, the ground was empty under his feet, and seeing the ground getting farther and farther away, he could barely open his eyes.

Only the wind was bitter and whistling.

I saw Lin Chu holding the sword across his chest in one hand, and holding him tightly with the other hand, as if the sword had the power to gallop the world, dragging the two of them forward.

This is the Sword Control Art of the Shocking Evil Sword Sect—Wind Thousands of Miles!
Looking down from a high altitude, you can overlook the entire open land behind Yujian Peak, with a big river running through it, and you can overlook the lofty mountains beyond the horizon.

Lin Chu told him that the forest of pine and cypress wild trees in the deep valley of the back mountain was unfathomably deep. There was once a disciple who went deep for eight thousand miles and took six months to return, but there was only primeval forest and there was no end.

Originally, there were seven dangerous canyon veins in the back mountain, which were taught by the seven direct disciples of the sect masters, but after several people died in battle, now there are only three.

They are "Songzi Valley" by Ouye Liuyun, "Liubo Mountain" by Qin Hanyue and "Fenghuiling" by Qi Beihong.

Songzi Valley is like a mountain village, with hundreds of houses and smoke curling up from the kitchen, creating a sense of paradise.

The disciples of the previous generation have already established families in the secular world, and there are groups of wives and concubines. At present, most of these houses are empty, and only the disciples who guard the mountain live here.

These disciples who guard the mountain are like the real Tianji, who will not marry all their lives, who are all focused on enlightenment and cultivation, and are not greedy for worldly wealth.

Lin Chu first took Shen Ru to a senior brother's house for breakfast, and then explained some things about food and daily life, saying that if you need anything, just ask him.

After a few days, under the guidance of his senior brother, Shen Li has become familiar with the daily life in the valley.

Here, no matter old or new disciples, all the cooking is done by themselves on weekdays, but the ingredients are all ready-made.

The nearby government will ship vegetables and poultry at Yin hour, noon hour and You hour every day, providing a continuous supply all year round.

Every festival, there are as many tributes as there are officials.

In addition, all the disciples of the Shocking Evil Sword Sect have a monthly salary corresponding to their rank, and the seventh-rank royals have as many as five silver beads, which is something that the lower-level people can't earn even a year of hard work.

All these expenditures were allocated by the imperial court from the national treasury.

Every time the children of the common people talked about these things, they were all happy to hear and see, and they were all very happy, praising the greatness of the emperor's grace.

ah!We are all the emperor’s most beloved children!
But Shen Li didn't, he always thought of those people who were struggling and suffering on the edge of survival.

Also because he was born as a slave, he knew better than anyone how these offerings were dug out from the people.

This gave him an illusion that the horrified evil guards seemed to be the fangs of the imperial court. After Lin Chu said all the 81 precepts of the Nine Gate Rules, this illusion became more and more three-dimensional.

He originally thought that the imperial guards who shocked the evil were not bound by the court's laws, and they were all chivalrous men, only now did he realize that he had taken it for granted.

The school's rules and regulations are far more stringent than the court's laws, and some rules are inexplicable and unreasonable.

In general, you should be more disciplined and discipline yourself, and leave some room for others.

It sounds very benevolent, but if you understand it carefully, it is to ask disciples to "repay grievances with virtue".

That's right, revenge with virtue.

Even if someone kills their parents, and their wife and children are humiliated, they cannot seek revenge in private, otherwise it will be a brother-in-law killing each other, and they must come forward through the teacher to seek justice and make the murderer apologize.

As for severely punishing the murderer for murder, that is a requirement for myself.

If you kill someone, you have to pay with your life!

Someone killed you, apologize!
Whoever dares to seek revenge in private may at least face the wall and think about it for several years, at worst, he will abolish his cultivation base or even commit suicide to apologize.

No wonder Princess Yaoyue would transfer to Yaochi Palace to study art, and there is a reason why she hates the Imperial Guard so much!
ah!The world's No. [-] sword school convinces people with virtue, and the head of Tianji pursues benevolence and justice, which convinces the martial arts comrades.

Every time he hears these praises, Shen Li will think of those beasts who don't treat their wives and children as human beings, but are servile to outsiders.

Before he formally joined the teacher's school, Shen Li's impression of the teacher's school is only four words: hypocrisy and hypocrisy!
As a broad-minded and evil-shocking warrior, maybe he should be happy with his brothers and sisters, but while he is rejoicing, there is always a trace of resentment lingering.

Could it be that the name of benevolence, righteousness and high morality really needs to be fulfilled by sacrificing dignity?
Why is it that other sects can love and hate freely, but the shocking evil sword sect can only convince people with virtue?

Is this fair?

But all of this, he is powerless to change!
Finally, the fifteen-day "sword test" was over.

3 people participated in the test, and a total of 500 disciples were recruited after layers of selection.

In this way, it is really fair.

If there is no fairness, how can so many people sharpen their heads to become imperial guards?

There are only 50 children of common people including Shen Li, 350 and eight children of sharp scholars, and 42 children of cultivation families, who are received by Liubo Mountain and Fenghuiling respectively.

There are only fifty places in the Ouye Liuyun lineage, and 35 of them are female disciples. After the final quotas were allocated, only 15 disciples were actually assigned to Songzi Valley.

Such a result is obviously unfair.

Shen Li was the first to join the school, so Shuo Yue, Li Zhao, Tang Yan, and others all called him Senior Brother.

Although Baoye Liuyun didn't say anything after returning to the valley, Shen Li could also tell that the Shocking Evil Sword Sect had reached its heyday with the largest number of 2000 members in history, but the momentum of Baoye Liuyun's lineage had fallen to the bottom.

The next day, more than 2000 people stood on the square of Yujian Palace.

The older brothers and sisters showed relief and said things like "Look at the new generation of disciples who are full of vigor and vitality, why worry about the future decline of our sect".

Standing in the crowd, Shen Li, the first adoptive son, looked so inconspicuous.

The sound of the tripod sounded, and the square immediately fell silent.

I saw a short and fat old man walking out of the hall, with silver-white beard and hair, wearing a white dragon robe and a beaded curtain crown on his head.

Qi Beihong, Ouye Liuyun, and Qin Hanyue, three direct disciples surrounded their master in high spirits.

Immortal Tianji glanced over, nodded and stroked his white beard, as if he was quite satisfied with the current scale of the Shocking Evil Sword Sect.

He said in a thick voice: "Over the years, the Huanyue Dynasty seems to be ready to move. At this time, it is even more necessary for me and others in the right way to uphold the way and fight against rape. You masters, you must teach it with your heart and scare me. The sword sect's self-cultivation and martial arts will flourish!"

"Follow the instructions of the sect master!" The three chiefs responded in unison.

Tianji real person smiled lightly: "The martial arts of my Shocking Evil Sword School are broad and profound because of the unity of Taoism and martial arts. What kind of attainment you achieve depends entirely on your own hard work and understanding!"

Everyone at the scene showed passionate expressions, only disciple Song Zimai stood there sadly, and the total number of new disciples and disciples of the previous generation was only about [-] people.

Fortunately, everyone is dressed in white, and it is impossible to distinguish which valley or vein at a glance, which makes the Songzimai disciple not so prominent and weak.

At the end of the disciple acceptance ceremony, Qi Heng and a young girl happily rushed to the main hall. Cheng Huan, in front of the real Tianji, called "Master" kindly, and Qi Beihong and Qin Hanyue smiled happily.

From Shen Li's point of view, that young girl had two eyebrows that seemed to be frowning but not frowning, and a pair of eyes that seemed to be happy but not happy, which was very pitiful.

The home of such a graceful and graceful daughter is undoubtedly Nangong Xianyun, the disciple and granddaughter of the master.

Beat Ye Liuyun attracted Shen Li, and respectfully said: "Master, this is my adopted son, Shen Li."

"Shen Li, send greetings to Master!"

The old man in front of him was the Supreme Martial Arts Master, Shen Li was naturally nervous, he knelt down and kowtowed his head with a "boom" sound: "Li'er pays homage to Master!"

"Hehe." But Nangong Xianyun couldn't help laughing: "Do you really dare to kowtow? Are slaves' heads so hard?"

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Shen Ru felt like being pricked by a needle.

Master Tianji squinted at Shen Li with disgust.

Yes!

A slave who is equivalent to an animal dares to call himself the disciple of the supreme martial artist?

This embarrassed Master Tianji, if it wasn't for Ouye Liuyun's relationship, Shen Li would have been thrown out of the mountain gate long ago.

"Hmph!" Master Tianji snorted and sneered, as if what was kneeling in front of him was something indecent.

Turning around, he smiled at the two disciples and grandchildren again.

In terms of attitude, it's completely different.

The group walked back into the hall, but Shen Li was still kneeling there!

There were whispers and jeers all around, as if he was the biggest joke in the world.

In an instant, Shen Li received [-] points of critical damage, like an ugly little animal with a scarred body exposed in broad daylight.

Bao Ye Liuyun's eyes were complicated, and he sighed.
