The Lord who use immortals as food

"Is that the quota for Datang?" the Taoist priest asked.

"Well, Tang's quota."

Pei Ye walked in a little confused, and was met by Wang Shousi's equally confused gaze.

It turns out that there really is another way to study in the Sword Academy.

But it's not really another way, because the forms of the admission examination are inherently diverse. The essence of it is that the Sword Xiu Academy wants to see how good the person is, and the Sword Xiu Academy itself has the final say on how to conduct it.

The disciple comes to the Sword Xiu Academy to take the test, or the Supervisory Academy or the Sword Master can test the sword on him once and for all at any time, or like the Shaolong Sword Academy Golden Book, if he can get into the top 22 even if he passes, he can be admitted to the hospital. Passed the test and signed the document.

Therefore, even if the young man claims that he did not participate in the admission examination, as long as the Sword Xiu Academy believes that he can enter through other channels, the signature is just a matter of making up for it.

What only made Wang Shousi curious was that since he had never heard of the name "Pei Ye", how could he not have a letter of recommendation?

And the two Dao Qi actually accepted this empty-handed man.

Not even official documents or ultimatums are required.

Ning Shuhong and Zhu Shishi, who came in later, were also quite surprised, but Pei Ye couldn't explain it to them.

In fact, this was the first time he heard the name "Tong-kun", which obviously represented Shenjing's name for that woman.

When he realized that no one called her "the owner" except him, he remembered Qi Zhaohua's words on the carriage.

It turns out that my backer is indeed not Xiuwen Guan, my backer just likes to stay at Xiuwen Guan.

Pei Ye raised his head in thought. There was nothing special about the door of the Sword Xiuyuan. The floor was paved with white stones, and dark green vine leaves climbed over the tile walls. There was a withered lotus plant in a large urn. Still water remains motionless.

The only rare thing is that everything seems very quiet. Looking up, you can only see the tall forest and the sky, as if you are living in seclusion.

And this is the most precious thing in Shenjing City.

Following the guidance of the Taoist man, they came to the second courtyard, where they received a long sword with a black sheath and a white handle.

Pei Ye raised his eyebrows as soon as he got it. He pulled out the sword out of curiosity and saw that the sword was inscribed "Daosheng Sword·Chang'an", and the next line of small characters read "East China Sea Sword Furnace, Bingxia".

This sword must cost dozens of taels of silver.

The person in charge of the distribution was a gentle middle-aged woman with wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. When Pei Ye happily picked up the sword and was about to leave, she called out "Hey".

Pei Ye was startled and turned around: "Do you want to pay?"

He was already putting down the sword in his hand.

The woman laughed: "Who charges you?"

He picked up a soft ruler from the table with one hand and said, "Come here and compare your measurements. I will make sword uniforms for you later."

"Oooo!"

Pei Ye walked over and stood in front of the woman. A pair of very skillful hands touched his shoulders, waist, legs, hips, etc., and then there was the sound of writing down.

"Aren't you still young?"

".Almost eighteen."

The woman looked at him with satisfaction: "It's time to move around. One set fits your body, and the other one is slightly larger for you."

"Thank you very much."

The smiling gazes of his two new friends made him feel a little warm, and he quickly left the room first.

Then they received another stack of books, including two small hardcover volumes. Pei Ye opened it and saw that one he was very familiar with was "Introduction to the Sword Art of the Six Dynasties", while the other one had never been seen before. It is unlikely to be seen outside, because the title is "Selected Swords of the Xinsi Year of Dao Qihui".

After all the procedures, big and small, were completed, the four of them crossed the final courtyard and their eyes suddenly opened up.

It's a huge sword field.

The sky is high and the clouds are clear, the white stone is the stage, and there is no other furnishings except a sword stand.

This is where the sword is played.

Pei Ye suddenly had the feeling that when he got here, he had truly entered the Sword Training Academy. For young swordsmen, this might be the place where they spent most of their time growing up.

There were about twenty people gathered in the center of the field. They were the swordsmen who were admitted to the hospital earlier. They were talking to each other, and Yang Zhenbing and Zuoqiu Longhua were obviously the two vague centers.

Chu Shuiting and Wenzheng seemed to know each other, and they were chatting about something unknown. Lu Xiu was standing next to Zuoqiu Longhua, holding a sword book.

The four people received some nods and smiles when they came, but most of them still didn't recognize them. They sat down at the end of the team. Not long after, the middle-aged Taoist priest just walked into the sword field with a roster.

This person has an indescribable leisurely and casual temperament, like a man in the mountains.

"Then, we are all here." He spoke slowly, looking down at the roster, "Except for Jiang Yin'er, who will be two months late, the twenty-five swordsmen who are due to go to Chang'an this year are already here - all Hello, I'm glad to meet you."

"My Taoist name is Duan Yu, heir of the Shangqing Dynasty. If you count the most senior person in the sect, Jihua Zhenren, I should be considered his junior nephew." Duan Yu closed the roster, "But I haven't returned to the sect for seventeen years. , I have been working as a swordsman here. In the future, I will be responsible for teaching Taoist swordsmanship, and I will see you often."

"As usual, when you are admitted to the hospital for the first time, you have to explain some necessary things."

He paused, the place was quiet, everyone was listening.

"First, what's the point of joining the Sword Academy?"

"The Sword Xiuyuan has many names outside: the Immortal Platform's means of controlling the world; the Thirty-Three Sword Sect's monopoly on swordsmanship; and the holy land where swordsmen improve their swordsmanship. They are all in other people's words."

"The Thirty-Three Sword Masters of the Tang Dynasty, Dao Qihui." Duan Yu said slowly, "No matter how you enter the hospital or what purpose you have, there is only one thing here."

"It's not about practicing swordsmanship, it's about seeking the Tao."

"Most of your letters of recommendation end with 'I wish to seek the ultimate truth of swordsmanship'; when the chivalrous certificate is returned, you will see the four characters [Sword Cultivator] engraved under your name on the front, and most people will not change these four characters until they complete their training." Duan Yu looked at them, "Because this is 'Dao Qi', you and I have been students seeking the Dao all our lives."

"It is precisely because the road is long and far that the Thirty-Three Mountains established the Dao Qi Association, hoping that you can embark on this road as soon as possible."

"In the eyes of outsiders, those who enter the Dao Qi Association are the top swordsmen that the world can only dream of but cannot reach. After leaving the Sword Cultivator Academy, you will sooner or later stand at the top of the world's swordsmanship."

"But before the real 'Dao', we are just a group of tiny moths, the road is long and the white fog is vast. No matter how many decades we seek in the future, most of us, or all of us, will not be able to see the true meaning in our lifetime." Duan Yu looked at them quietly.

"But I hope you will never give up, because no matter how slim the chances are, as long as you stand here, it means you have the possibility of reaching the end. I regard you as my fellow travelers, and I also hope you regard me as my fellow travelers. If you hear the truth in the morning, you can die in the evening."

"Second, how to practice swordsmanship?"

"The sword training in the academy is divided into three parts, namely, knowing the sword, practicing the sword, and using the sword."

"If you want to seek the true way of swordsmanship, you must first know all the swords in the world. It is not just a superficial explanation, but a thorough analysis. The sword training academy will teach you the sword principles of the world, and the Dao Qi will have 33 sword gates. Each gate will send its seniors to come. The order is not fixed, but within five years, you must will complete a round. For those who are not in the Daoqi meeting, we will also provide as in-depth explanations as possible. "

"The sword training is taught every three days, and each teaching lasts three hours. You can also ask the Daoqi in the academy anytime and anywhere on weekdays."

"Knowing but not practicing is like building castles in the air. The most valuable thing about the sword training academy is that you can learn the swords of other schools. The sword training is the most important industry in the academy and the top priority of the final examination. Everyone has different choices for sword training, and the swords they can learn are also different, but as long as the swords are listed in the sword tower, you will have Daoqi's detailed guidance after you choose until you succeed. "

"The sword training will start the day after tomorrow, This matter involves a final evaluation, which will be discussed later. "

"Everyone who enters the Sword Academy has a slight deviation in the use of swords, but the level is very obvious. It is not a secret that the use of swords is 90% a matter of talent. Although it can be improved, it is difficult to change fate. But for now, you have only just started your career in terms of your talent, and there is still a long way to go. In addition, the amount of swordsmanship you have learned, the level of your realm, and the length of time you have practiced swordsmanship are all different. It will take years to see who is better and who is worse. "

"There is not much to teach in this way. You can only play more games and think more, play with stronger people, and talk with your defeated self, so that you can improve. "

"The sword industry It opens every seven days, right here on the sword field, for a day, and everyone takes turns to fight, and the wins and losses will be recorded. You can also spar with each other on weekdays. The cultivators who entered the academy in previous years are also here, and there are some famous people, so you can invite them. "

"Third, how will the sword academy end?"

Duan Yu stopped talking at this point, raised his hand and said: "From today, for a period of five years, the training you need to complete in sword training has been written on the paper, please look it up yourself."

Pei Ye was startled, and indeed found a piece of hard paper from the book he just received. When he looked at it, he saw the four ink characters [Sword Training Dao Sheng] written in the middle.

The four characters "Sword Training Dao Sheng" will be engraved on the chivalrous certificate of the academy sword students, so that they can enjoy some conveniences of the Dao Qi Association, but only after completing the training, these four characters will be settled, and the name of [Sword Training Dao Sheng] will be added with black gilding. From then on, for the rest of his life, if there is a need to improve swordsmanship, the Dao Qi Association will help with fellow Daoists.

From another perspective, these four words have an unimaginable status in the outside world. It means that Daoqi will determine that you have completed "Daoqi" and are now a person who pursues the sword.

They are their own people in the Thirty-Three Sword Gates, and their status in the Tang Dynasty court is also beyond the rivers and lakes. They are honored guests wherever they go.

And under this name, there are dense crowds that make Pei Ye's eyes dazzled.

"Pass the 47 sword theory tests."

"Learn seven sword skills of 'pulse transmission' or above."

"Learn three sword skills of 'wonderful wildness' or one sword skill of 'wonderful spectacle'."

"Enter the realm of swordsmanship [meaning]."

"Sword heart rating [all control] or above."

"Complete one of the following in the sword test: Rank in the top 30 in the Tianmen sword test; remain undefeated in the Yunlang sword test for ten rounds; reach the Phoenix Terrace in the Chang'an Jingzhe sword concentration; get a rating of [A] or above in the Imperial Sword Meeting; rank in the top 300 in the duck list with sword in the feather scale test; and be qualified to wear a ribbon with sword in the Shenjing martial arts examination."

"Sword ladder is unobstructed."

Pei Ye looked at the list of requirements in a daze, and suddenly understood why Miss Ming wanted him to come to the sword training academy to practice sword. He felt that all his shortcomings and unstable foundations in swordsmanship were reflected by this note.

Especially the line "pass the 47 sword theory tests", which made him purse his lips several times.

He still hasn't mastered the Jade Sword Principle, so where did he find the 47 sword principles?

When Pei Ye looked down again, he was stunned again.

Two lines after the end of the requirements for [Sword Cultivator], there were four other sharp characters.

[Lord Weapon Driver]

"Meet all the requirements for 'Sword Cultivator'."

"Sword Heart Rating [Holding Heart·Invulnerability] or above."

"Create a sword with the fixed rating of "Wonderful Wildness."

"Sword Heart Cultivation."

"Win the chess sword test."

"Yun Lang agrees to grant the title."

"." Pei Ye gently rubbed these four words, feeling a little dazed. Next to him, Wang Shousi read faster and said with a smile, "I heard that those who are awarded this title can enter Yunlang Salvation Pavilion to choose a swordsmanship. However, In the past thirty years, there have been very few people in the entire Dao Qi Society.”

Pei Ye nodded slowly.

"The training requirements will be engraved in many places. The Sword Academy does not make any regulations. It can be completed in one, two or five years." Duan Yu said, and then smiled, "These are the so-called necessary things. Then, to Please inform me of the arrangements for the next two days."

Duan Yu looked slightly solemn: "Tomorrow, we will take you to the Tibetan Sword Tower for the first time and complete the evaluation of sword practice qualifications there. You all know that the Thirty-Three Sword Sects are not the same family after all, and who can learn which one? There are many considerations for a high-level sword, but in general, it depends on birth and talent. In addition, various reputations and celebrity recognitions also have an impact. Please remember to prepare letters of recommendation and other materials tomorrow, and we will make a comprehensive evaluation. "

"In the future, we will try to build a sword ladder for you for the first time."

"The reason why Dao Qihui is 'Dao Qi' lies in the word 'sword ladder'. The purpose of practicing swords is to seek the Tao. If you don't build the ladder to heaven, you are just deceiving yourself and others. Therefore, no matter how difficult it is to build or climb, even if Follow the climb and practice, Dao Qihui will definitely do this. Now that you are here, you should be prepared."

Except for Pei Ye who was a little confused, the more than 20 people in the field were silent. Duan Yu finally looked at the booklet in his hand, put his palms together and said: "Okay! Today's hospitalization is over. You can do whatever you want with the rest of the time. , if you stay late, you can check into the guest rooms with the hospital management first. The accommodation will be allocated in pairs after the review tomorrow. "

Pei Ye's eyes suddenly raised as he studied the note.

Actually control it!
