After continuing to sit silently on the futon for a while, Ye Bai finally returned to normal, and the paleness on his face faded a lot. He stood up, stretched his muscles, leaned over and collected the two and a half Illusion Heart Grass plants on the ground and put them back into the cloth. Bag, hid it closely, then opened the door and walked out. It was already bright outside, Ye Bai closed the door and walked towards the outer courtyard of Ye's house again.
Today, he was going to a place. He was originally going to go yesterday, but because he stayed at Mr. Ye's place for too long, it was already evening when he came out, so he didn't go. But today, after a night's rest, Ye Bai was full of energy and energy. Yiyi, full of energy and energy, is suitable for practicing, so he goes to that place just right.
Ye Bai is going to the family martial arts training pavilion.
…
The Martial Arts Pavilion is a majestic, huge wooden building with three sides. The early sun casts a ray of light on it, and the bright yellow glazed tiles sparkle in the sunlight.
In the Ye family, Ye Bai is not the only one who can't afford mysterious skills. On the contrary, there are many people whose parents died early, whose family fortunes fell, or who died and were punished by the family. If the descendants of these people are not talented, If you are so outstanding, you will often end up like Ye Bai, who needs to earn contribution points to exchange for family skills. Naturally, few people like this have the money to afford those extremely precious mysterious skills. As a result, places like the Ye Family Martial Arts Training Pavilion came into being. This kind of place was specially set up for those who had no money and could not afford Ji Ci? Concubine skills, but wanted to learn some basic attack skills.
Ye Bai spent most of his divorce in this martial arts training pavilion.
In the martial arts training pavilion, you should not expect to learn any set of even the lowest level of mysterious skills. Some are just some very common and basic weapon attack skills. For example, the Ye family's martial arts training pavilion contains three basic sword skills. There are three sets of basic sword skills, three sets of basic stick skills, three sets of basic spear skills, three sets of basic dagger skills, and three sets of basic bow skills, a total of eighteen sets of basic weapon attack skills.
These techniques are free and open to all disciples of the Ye family. They can enter and learn at will without any charge. However, no matter which technique, there is no doubt that they have one thing in common, that is, they are all simple. Extremely, except for some basic weapon movements such as chopping, slashing, stabbing, peeling, picking, slashing, shocking, etc., there is nothing else, not even a simple weapon move!
Such things naturally cannot be called mysterious skills, or even the martial arts practiced by ordinary mortals. Therefore, naturally no one will be interested in naming them. Therefore, these eighteen sets of basic skills, no matter where One set all has the same name, basic sword skills, basic knife skills, basic stick skills, basic spear skills, basic dagger skills, basic bow skills...
Naturally, these skills cannot be compared with mysterious skills. Their power is in the sky and underground. However, that is only compared to those senior disciples whose families are rich and have already possessed low-level mysterious skills. For poor disciples like Ye Bai, Generally speaking, these basic skills that are free and open to the family martial arts training pavilion are still very precious. It is better to have them than nothing. In this way, when you go into the mountains and encounter fierce beasts, you can have more power to protect yourself.
If the disciples of the Ye family's outer sect want to learn, they should choose one of them to learn based on their preference for various weapons.
Ye Bai originally chose the basic sword skills. A year and a half ago, he learned all three sets of basic sword skills proficiently. Later, he also learned three sets of basic dagger skills. , has also reached great success, and this time he came here just to see if he could learn another set of basic weapon skills again, or if he should continue to deepen his understanding of the two basic skills he had already learned.
When I arrived in front of the martial arts training pavilion, it was still early, but there were already some shouts of disciples in the martial arts training pavilion. The sound of fists, palms, and hunting could be heard from a long distance. Sit in front of the door. An old man with a horse face.
Seeing this scene, Ye Bai smiled and couldn't help but think of his past self. When he first entered the Ye family, he was just like them. He would come here before dawn every morning to learn these basic skills, hoping that one day he would be able to do it. What powerful skills have been learned, but...
Thinking of this, Ye Bai shook his head, with a trace of nostalgia in his eyes, and sighed. I don't know how many of these people can continue to persevere tomorrow? Ye Bai knows very well that practicing these basic skills Boring, boring, and painful.
He has seen too many people who entered the martial arts training pavilion for one day and left angrily the next day, or who ignored him the next day. Except for him, he has been coming here whenever he has time for three years. The people here have changed. I don’t know how many batches have been made.
Basic skills, as the name suggests, cannot be very advanced. Most of them only have some simple movements, but if you want to learn them, you have to practice them over and over again. Sometimes, there are one movement to pick up the sword, one to draw the sword, and one to stab the sword. It has to be repeated a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times... But looking back, its power is completely incomparable with the mysterious skills, so no one except poor disciples like Ye Bai will learn it.
In fact, it is not only those who possess mysterious skills who disdain these skills and never come to this martial arts training pavilion, but also ordinary disciples who, like Ye Bai, cannot afford mysterious skills and have to come to practice this basic skill. They also look down on these skills. Some people think that they will learn Xuan Qi sooner or later. It doesn't matter whether they learn such low-level skills or not. Others think that they have no hope of cultivating Xuan Qi in this life and it is not worth their time. There are also Some people can't bear the hardship and give up after studying for three days.
But Ye Bai is different.
He learns these skills as life-saving skills. No matter how bad it is, as long as it is useful, it is worth spending time and energy. It is not that he really thinks how powerful these skills are, but that he deeply understands that many people nowadays A little effort, even a tiny one, may save your life at critical moments, and you will have an extra chance of winning when taking risks.
Therefore, he devoted almost all his time to these basic skills. When others were playing, resting, and sleeping, he was practicing these basic skills. Every time he went out and took risks, his life was in danger several times. This is the most despised, shameful and basic skill that people don't bother to learn. It has saved his life time and time again.
Therefore, he felt that it was not that these skills were useless, but that no one had really learned them. He was the first and only one who insisted on learning these skills over and over again for three years. As a disciple of the Ye family, many people ridiculed him, but he never wavered.
Therefore, when he came back to the martial arts training pavilion today and saw the shouts of a group of people inside, he was thinking, how many of these people can persist for three years like him? Are they still the same as those before? , couldn’t stand the pain of such boring training the next day, and left in despair?
Thinking of this, Ye Bai couldn't help shaking his head and laughing. Whether these people can persist is none of his business. Everyone has their own choice.
No longer thinking about these things, Ye Bai stepped forward and stepped through the door.
At this moment, a figure flashed, and the horse-faced old man came to Ye Bai at some point and stopped him. He looked at Ye Bai with eagle-like eyes and said, "Stop."
Ye Bai was startled for a moment, stood there, looked at the horse-faced old man, and said with a cold expression: "What do you mean by this?"
"You can't go in!" The horse-faced old man said in a harsh and sarcastic tone.
Ye Bai raised his eyebrows and said: "Oh, you are not allowed in? The family's martial arts training pavilion is open to the public for free all year round, why don't you let me in?"
The old man raised his eyebrows and sneered: "That's just for those disciples who can bring benefits to the family in the future. For people like you who can't even afford a low-level mystical skill, why are you talking about bringing it with you?" Come on, if you fail to pass the family test in three months, you will have to get out of this sect and the Ye family, right? For someone like you who is about to be expelled from the family, is there any reason to let you go? You eat and drink for free, so you want to enter? You can also pay ten taels of silver at a time, and you cannot stay for more than two hours at a time. You can choose for yourself!"
Ye Bai's face suddenly darkened, and he said coldly: "How do you know that I will be expelled from the outer sect in three months? What if I pass the examination?"
The horse-faced old man burst into laughter immediately: "You... passed the assessment, you haven't woken up yet. A person like you, who has neither money nor backing, and even low qualifications, actually wants to pass the inner sect." The assessment, huh, if you can pass the inner sect assessment, I will write your name backwards."
"But..." He sneered: "Before you pass the inner sect examination, you have to pay ten taels of silver once to go in. Why? No why, why does the family set up a martial arts training pavilion for you rubbish for free? I I felt bad, so I changed the rules. If you want to enter, you can, ten taels of silver a time, pay for it. If you don’t want to pay, then get out, don’t hinder me from doing things. Pay or get out, it’s your choice, but "
Having said this, the horse-faced old man paused, then laughed loudly and said: "Aren't you a poor boy who can't even get out ten taels of silver? Hahaha! Then why are you standing here? How far away are you?" No matter how far it is, not everyone from outside the sect can come, lest the road in front of the door be dirty!"
"You..." Ye Bai laughed angrily and took a step forward. A faint white light began to appear on his left hand. The old man immediately smiled and said: "Why, are you going to hit me when you are angry? How about that? You bite me, you hit me, you sue me, my brother-in-law is the deacon of this foreign law hall, you go sue me, hit me, try..."
Ye Bai's eyes turned red with anger, but after a moment, he took a long breath, his eyes slowly became calm, and his clenched fists loosened.
Looking at the horse-faced old man, he said calmly: "Aren't you afraid of causing trouble?"
"Disaster?" Hearing this, the horse-faced old man suddenly burst into laughter: "I am a mortal, and I will be buried in a few years. If I don't make a fortune and enjoy it at this time, I will feel that I am at a disadvantage. What's more, do you think those
Elders, do you really care about your troubles as a disciple who is about to be expelled from the Ye family? Even if you report it, no one will take care of it. What am I afraid of, afraid of you?..."
Having said this, he sneered, his voice full of ridicule and disdain. It was obvious that he had no regard for Ye Bai, a low-level disciple with no money, no power, and no backing.
Obviously, he determined that it was impossible for Ye Bai to become a disciple of the inner sect, and the three-year trial period was about to expire. If Ye Bai's contribution points did not meet the requirements by then, he would be expelled from the outer sect. For such a
As a person, he naturally does not need to worry.
Otherwise, he would not dare to treat Ye Bai like this at all, because once he becomes a disciple of the inner sect, his status will be different. Even if he accidentally kills a concierge like him, no one will dare to say no to it.
But obviously, from the surface, with Ye Bai's current identity, status, and qualifications, he didn't think Ye Bai would have such a chance, so he dared to be so insulting, blocking the door and hiding his fault from Ye Bai.
Travel expenses come.
"What's the noise outside?"
At this moment, a clear and melodious female voice sounded. Immediately, a beautiful woman in green clothes came out. When she saw Ye Bai in front of the door, she immediately smiled: "Ye Bai, you are here, what's wrong? What's wrong?"
What are you doing standing at the door? Come in!" But it was Ye Meizhu, the swordsmanship instructor in the martial arts training pavilion, who heard the commotion and came out.
Both Ye Bai and the horse-faced old man were startled. Ye Bai bowed slightly and said: "Lecturer!" And the horse-faced old man's expression instantly changed from contempt for Ye Bai to respect for the visitor, and he bent down.
He said flatteringly: "Master Ye!"
Seeing the atmosphere between the two, Ye Meizhu smiled and said, "What's wrong, Ye Bai, tell the teacher?"
The horse-faced old man immediately groaned. Although he dared to rely on his brother-in-law as one of the deacons of the outer hall to mock Ye Bai, he did not dare to offend Ye Bai, the lecturer with an extraordinary background. He immediately felt uneasy and was afraid of Ye Bai.
Bai told what he had just done, his face turned green and white, he lowered his head, and his body began to tremble involuntarily.
Once Ye Bai tells what he did just now, he is afraid that he will be punished immediately, and even his deacon brother-in-law will be blamed. This is what he fears most.
The place was silent for a moment. Seeing the silence between the two of them, the woman stopped asking and said, "Ye Bai, what are you doing standing at the door? Come in!" She waved to Ye Bai, obviously seeing something.
Ye Bai looked at the woman's beautiful face and suddenly took a step back and said, "No, Lecturer Ye, unless I'm a Xuanshi, Ye Bai will never step into this martial arts training pavilion again!"
After saying that, he turned around and strode away without even looking at the horse-faced old man.
"This kid, what happened today?"
Looking at Ye Bai's back, Ye Meizhu asked doubtfully, when a young man's voice came from inside: "Sister Zhu, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, nothing..." Ye Meizhu replied quickly, then turned around and walked inside. But when she walked to the door, she couldn't help but look back at the strange young man's back, and then walked away in confusion.
Got in.
Seeing Ye Meizhu walking into the martial arts pavilion, until the green dress disappeared, the horse-faced old man dared to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. He was a little surprised that Ye Bai did not complain to the woman, but turned around and left, and then became even more Disdain: "Trash is trash. It has no money, no backing, no ability, and now it doesn't even have any backbone. I asked you to test something, and you're still not willing, so get out..."
Ye Bai, on the other hand, walked slowly on the way back, clenching his hands tightly, his nails digging into his flesh, and bright red blood flowing from between his fingers, but he seemed unaware.
"A mortal who can't even cultivate Xuan Qi actually dares to treat me so lightly. Everything depends on strength. If I have the strength of a Xuan Shi, how dare such snobs treat me like this?"
"Now, a mortal can bully me like this just because he has some connections. Then, one day, I will be bullied by other more powerful people. If I want to change everything, the only way is strength!"
Turning around and taking a look at the tall attic that was gradually disappearing behind him, Ye Bai had a fierce look on his face: "I want to make people who insult me and look down on me look at me with admiration. One day, I want to make these guys who look down on me with their dog eyes open their eyes again." Look at them, I will never bear this kind of insult again. Before I become a disciple of the inner sect, I will never come to this martial arts training pavilion again!"
"Old man Ye, just wait. Didn't you say that I can't pass the examination? Then I will show you that I passed. Didn't you say that I can't become an inner sect disciple? Then I will become an inner sect disciple to show you!"
"One day, I will come back!"
With a cold smile, Ye Bai calmed down his emotions, turned around and left, heading back to his residence. The look on his face had become determined, but he secretly said in his heart: "Old man Ye, do you think I have not become an inner sect member?" I have the opportunity to be a disciple, but you may not know that I have almost reached the peak of the eighth level of Xuanqi. As long as I work harder and harder, I will definitely become an inner sect disciple in three months. By then, I will arrive I want to see what the expression is on your face!"
