Don't randomly pick up apprentices if you wear a book

Early the next morning, it was rare for Shen Mu to wake up earlier than his apprentice.

Seeing Xiaobai's faint smile in his sleep, Shen Mu couldn't help rubbing his head.

In order not to disturb the apprentice's sleep, Shen Mu tiptoed to the door with the toiletry set.As soon as he opened the door, he saw Qi Baishui rushing into the courtyard excitedly.

"Third Junior Brother, I have set up the formation to help you restore your memory, and it can be activated at any time." Qi Baishui said loudly.

Shen Mu was so happy that he almost fainted, he didn't care about washing and changing clothes, and ran all the way towards Liufang Hall.

There is a large garden at the main entrance of Liufang Hall.The garden is now filled with glazed lanterns.

Shen Mu counted carefully, there are 49 lamps in total, arranged according to the five elements and eight trigrams.

In the center of the glazed lamp is a book case.The wood of the bookcase is dark in color, carved with incomprehensible patterns.A layer of auspicious air is faintly shrouded on it.

Lin Shisan was standing beside the desk, holding a square of ancient ink in his hand, and was grinding it carefully.

As soon as Shen Mu entered the door, he greeted Lin Shisan: "Brother Lin."

Lin Shisan saw Long Xiaoye who was quietly following behind Shen Mu at some point, and hurriedly declined, "Don't dare to call yourself a senior brother. God can call me Shisan."

Shen Mu was puzzled: Why can't you call senior brother?

Shen Mu thought for a while, then suddenly realized, and called "Second Sister-in-law."

Qi Baishui: "Pfft."

Lin Shisan: ...

In fact, Lin Shisan was because Long Xiaoye worshiped Shen Mu as his teacher, and he had served the Dragon King, so Long Xiaoye could be regarded as half of his young master.Lin Shisan didn't want to take advantage of Long Xiaoye.

But this "second sister-in-law" not only took advantage, but was also too blunt.

Lin Shisan's ears were slightly red.

Qi Baishui was very useful, his eyes were full of smiles.

Qi Baishui took the pen and drew a few strokes on the rice paper.

I saw a monk in white jumping on the paper.The belt is in the wind, standing peerlessly.

This painting skill, there is no second one in the whole world, it is better than the most famous professor in the academy.Shen Mu couldn't help admiring: Master Danqing really lived up to his reputation.

He admired the painting, only to belatedly realize that the person in the painting seemed to be the God of Witchcraft—himself.

Shen Mu's own appearance is not the same as that of the Wugu God Lord, and he rarely looked in the mirror after time travelling, so he didn't react for a while.

Qi Baishui patiently explained: "This formation is called Zhaoying. Using the glazed lamp as a guide, combined with the right time and place, you can enter the world of the person in the painting. Are you ready?"

Qi Baishui deliberately said "the world of the person in the painting" instead of "your memory".

Generally, those who seize the house are very taboo to be stripped of their soul and mix with the original owner in another world.If the performer deliberately makes some small movements, it is very likely that the soul will be reversed, so that the person who enters the painting will stay in it forever.

But Shen Mu didn't understand this, so he nodded very trustingly.

Qi Baishui smiled, and silently recited a few incantations.

A blinding white light flashed in the middle of the portrait.

Shen Mu instantly felt that his soul was being pulled out, and he wandered around, before entering the painting.

A familiar scene unfolded in front of him.

Beside a clear spring, there are pear blossoms and green grass.

From a distance, Shen Mu saw a man in white standing in the middle of the Lingquan holding a jade flute.

There were no boats, no rocks, not even reeds under his feet.But the man just "floats" on the water so steadily.

Shen Mu really wanted to applaud, but his hands and feet couldn't be controlled, and he couldn't move.

The man turned around slowly, and glanced in the direction where Shen Mu was.

This face was familiar yet unfamiliar, it belonged to the Lord Wugu.It's just that the color of the eyes is lighter, as if there is no trace of life in the cold.

Shen Mu's heart was terrified after being watched: won't be discovered?

He obviously thought too much.

The original owner didn't notice him, just waved the jade flute lightly, and then swept down the large pear blossom above Shen Mu's head.

The pear blossoms are falling and flying all over the sky.

The original owner danced like flowing water in the rain of flowers.

Shen Mu could not help but dance along.

His body was light and floating, and his hands and feet were completely out of his control.Like a marionette, mechanically imitating the actions of the original owner.

Immediately afterwards, a warm spiritual current flowed through his body and shot out in the direction Yuxiao pointed.

The white light hit the water surface, causing several feet of spray, which was more exciting than watching special effects in a big movie.

Shen Mu instantly understood Qi Baishui's purpose for sending him into the painting.

This homework is too easy to copy, right?

He was busy holding his breath, desperately remembering every move of the original owner, every direction of the spirit flow.

For a whole day, Shen Mu studied tirelessly, and finally remembered the original owner's exercises almost exactly.

The setting sun fell into the valley, and the warm afterglow shone on the clear and clear jade flute, reflecting a unique brilliance.The light and shadow fell on the water, like a peony in full bloom.

The original owner seemed to be attracted by the scene in front of him, stopped his hands, and caressed Yuxiao thoughtfully.Against the backdrop of the setting sun, the originally cold face revealed an indescribable tenderness.

Shen Mu still wanted to take a closer look, but heard Qi Baishui calling him in his ear.

Open your eyes again, where are there jade flutes and peonies?

Qi Baishui looked at him with a smile on his face: "Third Junior Brother, how about trying your spiritual power?"

Shen Mu used his spiritual power for a week according to the scene in his dream.

"Puchi", a small ball of white light bloomed between the fingers.

Shen Mu jumped up happily: "Ah, I succeeded."

Qi Baishui smiled: "Congratulations, Junior Brother."

Shen Mu bowed deeply: "Thank you, senior brother."

"Brother, you are being polite. Brother is not as good as repaying one or two tenths of your kindness for saving Shisan. If you need anything in the future, please come to us."

Qi Baishui said and pulled Lin Shisan together to salute Shen Mu.

Shen Mu was caught off guard by being fed a mouthful of dog food, and subconsciously shook hands with the shadow on the ground.

Suddenly, his palm felt hot.A soft little hand held him.

Shen Mu looked back and saw that it was his apprentice Bai Yu.I don't know when it came.

Long Xiaoye: "Master, let's go back."

Shen Mu nodded vigorously: "Yes."

The two bid farewell to Qi Baishui and Lin Shisan, and returned to the Valley of Exorcism.

Shen Mu searched for the original owner's jade flute, but couldn't find it after searching for a long time.He searched for clues in the Sea of ​​Consciousness again, but found nothing.

Strange to say, the memory of the original owner seems to be good and bad.

Those trivial things such as refining formulas are clearly remembered.But what happened before he joined Ling Yundu, his joys, anger, sorrows and joys, did not leave any memory in his mind.

Shen Mu couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't think about it.Not long after dinner, Lou Wanghai sent someone to notify Shen Mu to take Bai Yu to attend the apprenticeship ceremony the next day.

Ling Yundu has three thousand disciples, Shen Mu seems to have never held a grand apprenticeship ceremony in his memory.Lou Wanghai usually gives a disciple card casually and dismisses it.

Shen Mu mistakenly thought that he was just going to get a badge, so he put on a plain white robe and took his apprentice there.Unexpectedly, he was led to the back mountain.

The mountains and plains were crowded with people.Those in green clothes are new disciples who have not started yet, and those in white clothes are disciples who have already started.There were also very few people who came to listen like Shangguanyu, and they were dressed in various clothes.The mighty line can barely see the edge.

In the valley in front of the crowd stands a high platform.This high platform is hundreds of feet above the ground, shrouded in clouds and mists, and looks like a fairyland. You need to tiptoe and stretch your neck to the limit to barely get a glimpse of the scenery on the platform.

Lou Wanghai, Qi Baishui, and Lu Buyan were all dressed up on the high platform.

Lou Wanghai was dressed in a black-bottomed and gold-edged wide-sleeved dress, which looked extraordinarily dazzling.

Seeing Shen Mu, the three thousand disciples quietly gave way to a passage that was more than ten feet wide, and the expressions on their faces were not very relaxed.Only Shangguanyu smiled slightly at the two of them.

It's a pity that Long Xiaoye didn't see it at all, but Shen Mu nodded to her in greeting.

When Lou Wanghai saw Shen Mu, he smiled exaggeratedly: "Third Junior Brother, you are the only one missing. Come up quickly."

He had already inquired about it, Shen Mu's spiritual power was not smooth, if the poisonous bee carried it up in front of everyone, it would be really embarrassing.

He was happy when Shen Mu lost face.Who made Shen Mu refuse to give up his apprentice to him.

As soon as Shen Mu saw Lou Wanghai's malicious smile, he guessed something, and frowned on purpose.

Lou Wanghai smiled even more happily: "Do you need me to go down and give you a hand?"

Qi Baishui pursed his lips and did not speak.

Shen Mu chuckled lightly: "How dare you bother Senior Master with such a trivial matter?"

After saying that, Shen Mu moved his body.Almost no one saw how he got up, so he was already standing firmly on the high platform.

Shen Mu smiled and turned around.The simple white robe looked more beautiful on him than the most gorgeous clothes in the world, like a blooming flower in the epiphyllum, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Long Xiaoye's vertical pupils could not help but light up.

The disciples all exclaimed: "Shenjun is so powerful! He is almost on par with the teacher in charge."

"That's right, that's right. The third uncle's leap is unprecedented."

"Third Martial Uncle is so handsome when he smiles! He's not as cold-blooded and ruthless as the rumors say."

I don't know which disciple's attention went wrong, which attracted a lot of tut tut.

Qiu Panghu patted his chest even more and said: "Shenjun has a cold face and a warm heart, everyone misunderstood him."

Lou Wanghai glared at Qi Baishui angrily.

Qi Baishui laughed: "I forgot to tell the elder brother in charge that the third junior brother's spiritual power has recovered."

Lou Wanghai gritted his teeth: "When?"

Qi Baishui: "Yesterday."

Lou Wanghai was so angry that he wanted to curse.It was in vain for him to design this high platform, but it made Shen Mu show his face.

Qi Baishui reminded very kindly: "Brother Master, the auspicious time has come."

Lou Wanghai flicked his sleeves angrily, and announced in a deep voice with a dark face: "The apprenticeship ceremony begins."

The three thousand disciples immediately fell silent.

Heavy drums sounded quietly.The leading disciples light the joss sticks on the confession case.Qiu Panghu, Su Qiubai and other new disciples lined up, kneeling on the ground respectfully.

Shen Mu looked down and saw his apprentice Bai Yu at a glance.

Bai Yu didn't seem to want to kneel down, and was tugging with a white-clothed disciple.

But when he raised his head and met Shen Mu's eyes, Bai Yu suddenly smiled, and knelt down at the position pointed by the disciple.

Shen Mu responded with a smile.

The two just looked at each other and smiled across the Baizhang high platform, which made Louwang Haiya sore.

The ritual music sounded again.Lou Wanghai turned around and bowed towards the endless back hill.

"I invite Immortal Qilin." He called three times.

There were faint footsteps in the distance.The sound was getting louder and closer, and it was so dull that it seemed as if thousands of troops were treading water.

After a while, the white mist that shrouded the back mountain all the year round dispersed.A giant monster with horns appeared in front of Shen Mu.

Shen Mu: What do you do with a monster for a good apprenticeship ceremony?

The monster didn't know if it heard the muttering in Shen Mu's heart, and glared at him viciously with its fierce pupils.

There was an inexplicable chill on Shen Mu's back.He quietly tugged at Lu Buyan's clothes, and asked with his eyes, "Who is that?".

Lu Buyan looked shocked, and said in a low voice: "Senior brother, you haven't even forgotten this, have you?"

Shen Mu didn't say a word.

Lu Buyan explained patiently: "This is Lingyundu's beast of the mountain—the Qilin Immortal. It is rumored that it suddenly appeared here 800 years ago and has never left again. The patriarch's legacy is that all disciples of Lingyundu's income room must first ask the Qilin Immortal Jun means. Didn’t you and I come in after passing this level back then?”

Shen Mu glanced at the dark disciples under his eyes, and frowned: "Then why didn't we do it before? Could it be that they are not considered disciples?"

Lu Buyan coughed lightly: "Brother Zhang is being lazy. Every year on New Year's Eve, when offering incense to the Qilin Xianjun, he would hand over a stack of name cards. After handing it over for decades, the Qilin Xianjun accepted it all."

Lou Wanghai: "What do you guys know? I don't have any disciples who are shaking the world and weeping ghosts and gods. Do I have the nerve to disturb the Qilin Immortal Lord?"

He didn't want his apprentices to know that he was afraid of being beaten out by the Qilin Immortal Monarch because he had received too many apprentices.

This time, if it wasn't for the five-year-old Bai Yu who formed an alchemy, Lou Wanghai wouldn't have held the apprenticeship ceremony.

"See? There are 880 eight pieces of scale armor on the body of Immortal Qilin. Every time Lingyundu recruits a disciple, Immortal Qilin will light up one of them. Our names are all engraved on it. The closer the position, It means the better the cultivation base is." Lou Wanghai said complacently.

Shen Mu took a closer look, and sure enough, he saw a faint crimson light shining on Qilin's body.

The names of their four senior brothers are impressively listed on the top of the scale armor on the back.Lou Wanghai happened to overwhelm Shen Mu, followed by Qi Baishui and Lu Buyan.In the back, he wrote the names of three thousand disciples eloquently.

Looking at Qilin's whole body, there are only dozens of scales on the heart and tail that have not been ignited.

Lu Buyan counted, and blurted out: "Brother, Ling Yundu's first dozen generations of disciples combined are not as many as ours. If they are all occupied, what about the next generation?"

Lou Wanghai didn't look sideways: "Occupy first."

Shen Mu suddenly admired Lou Wanghai.

Lou Wanghai glanced at Shen Mu meaningfully: "The Qilin Immortal protects Ling Yundu in order to guard the divine arsenal in the secret realm of the back mountain. It is said that whoever can ignite the scale armor on his heart can enter the mountain and choose a magical weapon. "

"Oh?" Shen Mu became interested.

In the book, Long Xiaoye was able to sweep the Three Realms only after he got his natal sword - Zhetian from Shenwuku.

It would be great if he could find a magic weapon for his apprentice.

But how can the Qilin Xianjun ignite the scales on his heart?

Seeing that Shen Mu was in trouble, Lou Wanghai snorted heavily.

For thousands of years, Ling Yundu's disciples tried and failed repeatedly, and none of them could open the divine arsenal.

If Bai Yu was his apprentice, he would definitely be able to ignite the scales on Qilin's heart.However, Bai Yu was Shen Mu's apprentice, so the odds of winning were so low that they could be ignored.But no matter how low the odds are, you have to try.Otherwise, I don't know when I will meet someone with Bai Yu's qualifications again.

Lou Wanghai felt very bad, and didn't want to talk to Shen Mu anymore, and led his selected disciples to demonstrate in a sword array.

These few people can be regarded as the best among the new disciples.In just a few months, Ling Yundu's swordsmanship has been perfected.

Flying and moving, the dazzling white light interweaves into an impenetrable wall, which is dazzling.

On the other side, Qi Baishui led Su Qiubai to play the melodious music slowly.The qin and flute sang in harmony, and the sound was like the sound of heaven, which attracted the Qilin to follow the rhythm.

Lu Buyan took his apprentice to make a small gadget on the spot - the Cloud Piercing Arrow.That apprentice is none other than Qiu Panghu.Qiu Panghu didn't know how powerful the Cloud Piercer Arrow was, so he happily sat on his buttocks, and was so jolted that he vomited out jaundiced water.

Once Qilin was happy, he engraved the names of several people on the tail.

Lou Wanghai: "It's your turn."

Shen Mu: ...

Lou Wanghai frowned: "Isn't it unprepared?"
