Chapter 8 Genius
Although the pigeon furnishing incident was strange, Yin Qi did not take it seriously. She cared more about her own practice at this time.
Meditation and fasting progressed quite smoothly, but divination techniques only gave her a headache. Because the magic technique and secret techniques mainly rely on understanding and practice, but the application of divination techniques requires a lot of knowledge accumulation, and the content in the "Witch Sutra" can only be considered an introduction. If you want to understand it, you must also consult other books.
Yin Qi had to ask Lu Kang for help. He told Yin Qi that divination can be regarded as a science, and its progress generally does not affect the practice of other magical techniques. Moreover, divination techniques are too profound and difficult. Ordinary spiritual disciples have to learn for decades before they dare to divine people. If she feels too exhausted, she can first study the most basic part, learn some common sense of astronomy and geography, and be able to distinguish directions and predict the weather, it is very good. Most of the spiritual disciples in the mansion are at this level.
According to Lu Kang's words, Yin Qi only studied the part he mentioned, which reduced a lot of burden. In the morning class, Yin Qi still focused on listening. When she encountered interesting topics, she would also read the books designated by Mr. Sun, which increased a lot of knowledge. When encountering difficulties, Yin Qi liked to discuss these with Wen Ya Song Chen. He was actually twenty-two years old and had been in the morning class for more than ten years, and was an expert in this field. Although Song Chen was not as active as Yin Tingyun in the debate and his language was not clever enough, Yin Qi preferred his perspective on things.
As time flies, Yin Qi has been in the museum for nearly two months. Lu Kang announced a piece of news that excited her - she can learn the art of controlling Qi!
Perhaps because it was simpler, Lu Kang sent Song Chen to teach her.
Song Chen was very patient. He said to Yin Qi: "The Qi Control Technique is the control of Qi. Because it is mainly used for the movement of objects, people call it to take objects from a distance. Qi Control Technique is the most basic technique, and magicians can usually activate it, but there are both strong and weak."
"What kind of thing is called weak? How can it be considered strong?"
"It's weak, just like this." Song Chen waved his hand gently, and a breeze blew across the ground, rolling up a few leaves. "As soon as the air flows, wind can be formed. As long as you lay a solid foundation, just need to have thoughts at this level."
"Control objects should be more complicated," he continued, "first, your goal should be clear. If you want to move, you should perceive the energy around it and think about how to control it. Once you are distracted, the control will no longer exist; secondly, if you want to apply it skillfully, you must practice repeatedly, and it is best to change your patterns."
Yin Qi tried intently, but it could create a small wind in two times, which was very fun. It was the turn of controlling things, Song Chen picked up a leaf and put it in the palm of his hand, and let Yin Qi try to make it float. Yin Qi worked hard for a long time, but he could only let the leaf slowly rise half a foot high, and then it lost control and fell down.
Song Chen smiled and comforted, "Don't be discouraged, it's all the same at the beginning." He lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then said, "If you want to see a powerful Qi-control technique, you can ask your brother."
"My third brother?"
"It's him. Mr. Lu once said that Yin Tingxiu's Qi-controlling technique is beyond the reach of spiritual disciples."
Yin Qi was shocked. She had been with Yin Tingxiu for two months, and it was not until today that she looked at him with admiration from the bottom of her heart. Although everyone had always talked about how talented Yin Tingxiu was, she usually saw Yin Tingxiu being spoiled by her elders, and never realized that he was so strong in this spiritual disciple hall.
Seeing Yin Qi's expression, Song Chen smiled and said, "It was only after I met him that I believed in the word genius." He patted Yin Qi on the shoulder: "You should get along with your brother more! You will definitely learn a lot."
Yin Qi smiled bitterly in her heart: "I have always thought about it, but I don't want to pay attention to me!"
After practicing for a while, Yin Qi was able to control a piece of feather that Song Chen had specially found to do some simple exercises. When she was leaving the hall, although she was unwilling to say goodbye to Song Chen and left the herringbone class.
Outside the gate of the courtyard, the two brothers usually turned into three brothers, and Yin Tingxiu was there, but he didn't look very happy.
Song Chen's words were still echoing in Yin Qi's mind, and she suddenly had an idea.
"Brother Third, I heard that your Qi-control technique is very powerful?"
"Let's be careless!" Yin Tingxiu replied casually.
"Can you show me your skills and let me see? I just started to learn Qi-controlling techniques, let me see how experts like you use them?"
Yin Tingxiu obviously enjoyed the word "Master". Although he was still stern, his eyes were no longer as unhappy as before, and he was even a little happy.
"Okay! Let's increase your knowledge today." After he said that, he looked around and thought about what to use to show the best effect. Yin Tingyun came up with an idea: "Let's go in! Isn't there a target in the backyard?"
Yin Tingxiu thought he had a good idea, so the four of them entered the herringbone class together.
In the backyard, there were several spiritual disciples training in front of the target. Seeing the three brothers from the Tianzi Class coming, they were very tactful and let them beside each other. Yin Tingxiu was indeed very famous. As soon as he stood in front of the target, more than a dozen spiritual disciples gathered from all sides. Song Chen was also among them. He stood beside Yin Qi and whispered: "You really invited the third young master!"
Yin Tingyue, who had been silent, snorted softly next to him.
Yin Qi smiled and said, "It's just right for everyone to take a look."
Yin Tingxiu's performance was very short. He waved his arm twice in a daze. The first time, more than a dozen arrows flew out of the quiver, quickly turned a corner in the air, and aimed at each target; the second time, the arrow shot towards the bull's eye like a meteor, and none of them missed.
Yin Qi was watching while watching, suddenly very glad that she didn't blink.
The crowd of onlookers was silent for a moment, and the praises gushed out like a tide.
"marvelous!"
"The third young master is so awesome!"
"It's worthy of being from the Tianzi Class!"
"You can actually control so many at the same time!"
...
Yin Tingxiu walked towards them and was in a good mood. Song Chen gently pulled Yin Qi's neck of clothes. She knew it and quickly flattered: "Brother is so amazing. Please give me some time!"
"Well, let's talk about it when you get home."
Song Chen was pushing the fire from the side and said with a smile: "If the third young master helps his junior sister, the effect will definitely be better than I teach."
Before Yin Tingxiu could respond, Yin Tingyue suddenly said, "You are a mediocre person who has been in the Herpetite for more than ten years, so naturally you can't compete with your third brother!"
This was extremely rude and everyone was stunned for a moment. Yin Tingyun reacted the fastest. He coughed twice, pulled his younger brother away, and said, "Tingyue's fasting period is too long, and everyone is hungry. Let's go back quickly!"
Yin Qi was furious and didn't plan to go down this step. Like other spiritual disciples in the Herringbone Class, she loved Senior Brother Song very much. She walked forward a few steps angrily.
I want to argue with Yin Tingyue.
Unexpectedly, Song Chen grabbed her with a gentle face and said, "Miss Fifth, please go back with your brothers! It's getting late, and the elders in the family are waiting for you!" He let go of Yin Qi and nodded slightly to everyone, "I'll take my leave first."
"It's really disappointing!" Yin Tingxiu said, pulling Yin Qi out, not sure who he was blaming.
The four of them walked together many times, and they had never been so awkward as they are today. Yin Tingxiu pulled Yin Qi away, and the two brothers followed behind, which stopped her from wanting to have a big fight with Yin Tingyue.
When he returned to Jinhua Hall, Yin Tingxiu told his mother about this. Tao Ying advised Yin Qi: "The fourth brother is only one year older than you, and he is the age of being competitive. Don't pay attention to him. The senior brother Song didn't take it seriously, so you should not be angry about this. Besides..." Tao Ying's tone became meaningful, "Although they studied in one place, other spiritual disciples have different identities from you, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they were master and servant. After all, they sold them to the Yin family when they were young and had nowhere else to go."
Selling it to the Yin family?! Yin Qi was stunned. She spent so many days with the spiritual disciples, but she never thought about the origin of others.
Yin Tingxiu was still teasing: "Mother always says you are steady. I think you are a person who is so angry that you can't even hold on to eight horses!" He turned to Tao Ying again and smiled: "Mother, you didn't see it. After the fourth brother finished speaking, Qi Mei's face, tsk! She must have fallen in love with Song Chen!"
Tao Ying beat her son, "You will talk nonsense!"
After the two of them made a fuss, Yin Qi was already much calmer. Lying on the bed at night, Yin Qi recalled her experiences over the past two months and felt that she was becoming more and more careless. If it were in the past, she would not have been so willful, at least she would not have been so obvious. What changed her?
After thinking hard for a long time, Yin Qi suddenly realized in pain: It is power! Tao Ying gave her the status of fighting against her legitimate sons and the opportunity to enter the Lingtu Hall to learn magic. The companionship of the three brothers, the respect for the children of the Yin family, and the progress in magic practice made her lose her original habit of being cautious.
Yin Qi looked to the side. Yun Xiang was sleeping soundly on the couch. Her tips to Yun Xiang were still vivid in her mind two months ago.
"Life is so easy, I'm actually making the same mistake," Yin Qi said in his heart, "But who can remind me at all times?"
Yin Qi was still thinking about how to face Yin Tingyue, but he didn't expect that he would admit his mistake to her the next morning. Although she thought Yin Tingyue should go to find Song Chen, she had to give up when she remembered Tao Ying's words.
On the way, Yin Tingyun and Yin Tingyue told the brother and sister a new news. Last night, their father Yin Zhenghong and uncle Yin Zhengyuan returned from another place.
Seeing that the three brothers suddenly became nervous, Yin Qi was curious: "Is there anything wrong?"
Yin Tingxiu looked melancholy: "As soon as my uncle comes back, he will call his husband and ask about our studies. If he is not satisfied, he will punish us. I am not afraid of magic, but what I worry about is Old Man Sun's place!"
Yin Tingyun smiled and said, "The fourth brother should not be afraid. He is used to being punished every time."
"Who said I'm not afraid! You can try meditating in the ancestral hall!"
Yin Qi was also worried that Yin Tingxiu would be punished for such a person, and she might not be able to escape.
Yin Tingyun was optimistic, and she comforted her: "Fifth sister, don't worry! Mr. Lu Kang is the most kind person, and he will definitely say more good things for you."
Before the morning class started, Yin Qi remembered what Tao Ying said last night and went to ask Song Chen's origin. Song Chen was a little surprised and told Yin Qi that he was from Yan Kingdom and that the others were unwilling to say more. Yin Qi tempted several familiar senior brothers, but they all looked secretive and refused to reveal them at all. Song Chen stopped her and continued to ask. He whispered that they had made a vow before entering the museum that they could not tell others about their own life experience, so Yin Qi had to give up.
The uncle's inquiry came very quickly. After a while, Yin Qi came back from morning class, he saw a male servant calling Lu Kang, saying that the head of the family had invited him.
