In the courtyard of the small Taiping Medical Center, crows were hopping around on the branches, as if they had seen something incredible.

Old Yao stood up from the bamboo couch and was so shocked that he said "you, you, you" several times.

Chen Ji sat cross-legged on the ground, feeling the looming sword energy in his body.

Old Yao bent down and pinched Chen Ji's ears: "Wake up, what happened just now!?"

"It hurts, it hurts," Chen Ji grinned.

Originally, he was still complacent and high-spirited, but Old Man Yao pinched him and immediately brought him back to reality.

Just like all children who grow up, no matter how successful they are outside, they will still be nagged by their parents when they come home.

Chen Ji quickly asked: "What's wrong, Master?"

Old Man Yao let go of his hands on his ears, stood up straight, and said angrily: "Let me ask you, did you just practice the sword technique?!"

"hold head high."

Old Yao stroked his beard, and for a moment he didn't know what to ask and was at a loss for words.

It wasn't that he was inexperienced, that's why he was shocked by this incident.

It was precisely because he knew what the sword cultivation method meant that he was shocked.

Old Man Yao held it in for a long time: "How did you cultivate the sword cultivation method?!"

Chen Ji innocently said: "Didn't you say that after practicing my sword skills, I can kill officials and princes? The two methods complement each other...?"

When Old Man Yao heard this, he was shocked again. He stared and said, "Don't talk nonsense. I'm just talking. Don't mess around! I'll tell you, the one who practices the Tiger Way is the best."

The solution is to wait for those high-ranking officials to die themselves, so as not to cause trouble."

As he spoke, he patiently persuaded: "The entire cabinet does not have ten teeth in total. They are all old things that are about to decay and will not live for long. You can wait a little longer. There is no need to be in such a hurry."

Chen Ji realized that Master was really worried about what he did!

He quickly smiled and said: "I'm kidding you, I don't kill innocent people indiscriminately."

Old Man Yao corrected him: "Those pavilion elders are not innocent people...but you have killed too many, and there will always be times when the horse stumbles. Which pavilion elder can't have a senior official guarding him?"

"Yeah, I understand," Chen Ji nodded.

Old Man Yao had already calmed down. He sat on a bamboo couch and asked seriously: "Where did you learn the art of sword cultivation? This is the biggest secret of Jingchao Martial Arts Temple. How could you learn it? Could it be that Jingchao has been looking for it all this time?"

That person is you... No, the age doesn't match, you haven't been born yet."

"Did your uncle or your mother pass it on to you? That's not right. How could they have the opportunity to come into contact with the sword cultivation method..."

Chen Ji replied calmly: "Master, it was the immortal in the dream who asked me to teach me."

Old Yao rolled his eyes: "You don't have to make up lies if you don't want to, just get out of here."

However, Chen Ji said seriously: "Master, I didn't lie. The name of the immortal in the dream is Xuanyuan. I have often dreamed about him since I can remember. It's just that I couldn't see clearly in the past and couldn't talk to him. Now I can have a good conversation with him."

Old Yao carefully observed Chen Ji's expression, the young man was extremely sincere.

He took out six copper coins from his sleeve and scattered them on the ground. But this time, no matter how many times he scattered them, the hexagrams would still be different.

"The hexagrams are messed up. Could it be that an immortal is really helping you?" Old Yao said, "I didn't expect you have quite a wide network of contacts."

Chen Ji: "..."

Old Man Yao let out a long sigh: "...You can also learn sword skills. Where can I go to explain it? Do you know that if the world's cultivation methods were divided into three, six or nine levels, sword skills would be ranked second, even if

No one dares to claim first place.”

"Do you know that Lu Yang was addicted to martial arts all his life, never married, and had no children? How many young elites from the Jing Dynasty entered the martial arts temple, just to wait for Lu Yang to pass on the swordsmanship when he was hopeless. As a result, how many people grew up in the martial arts temple when they were young?

When you get old, your head will turn gray in vain."

As he said that, he looked at Chen Ji and said leisurely: "If Jing Chao finds out that you are practicing sword cultivation, the entire Military Intelligence Department will kill you. Aren't you afraid?"

Chen Ji whispered: "Master, I practice quietly...will Lu Yang come to kill me personally?"

"That's not true. Lu Yang's lifelong practice is not to achieve immortality and live forever, but to find new opponents." Old Yao shook his head: "He will even expect you to cultivate to the realm of the divine way and then fight with you."

But even if he doesn't take action, you won't survive. Come on, let me see your lifeline. I may have seen it wrong before..."

Chen Ji said: "Master, I will not let others know that I am practicing sword cultivation."

Old Yao looked directly into Chen Ji's eyes: "But I know."

The small courtyard became quiet, and the crows stopped jumping around. It was as if a big hand was holding the place, and even the air pressure became tight.

Old Man Yao said slowly: "I can see that you are a very cautious person. You were so cautious that on the way from Zhou Mansion back to Taiping Medical Center, you held the broken porcelain piece all the way. I asked you if you had killed anyone. You

He said no. But since you are cautious enough, why

Dare to practice in front of me. Do you know that the most unpredictable thing in the world is the human heart? How can you be sure that I will not betray you? If you tell Jing Chao this news, I may get ten thousand taels of gold.

Jing Chao can build me a golden house."

Chen Ji sat cross-legged on the ground, lowered his head and thought for a moment: "A person carrying too many secrets is like carrying a huge mountain, and he will be out of breath. I want to believe that you will not harm me. Anyway, you saved me both."

This time, if you really plan to exchange me for gold, then do it."

Old Man Yao looked at Chen Ji for a long time, and finally said slowly: "Don't tell anyone else, no one can do it."

Crow also looked at the old man and the young man under the tree. He always felt that the relationship between the two people... had finally become better and they had more trust.

Old Man Yao said: "Didn't you practice sword cultivation? Let me see your sword energy."

"Okay," Chen Ji urged the sword energy in his body to swim through his meridians, and finally shot out from the fingertips of his right hand and hit the ground.

Some dust stirred up.

"Ha," Old Man Yao sneered: "It turns out that a person can really laugh when he is speechless. She Dengke's farts are more powerful than your sword energy. Liu Quxing can't do that. He always farts."

"...What a loss to you, haven't I just practiced for less than an hour?"

Old Man Yao thought for a moment: "Lu Yang raised his sword with a view toward Beihai. What did you use to raise his sword? Lu Yang's father took him all over the mountains and rivers for a full year before he chose Beihai. You just chose a place to raise your sword.

Too casual, could it be that you chose my Taiping Medical Clinic?"

At this point, Old Man Yao was furious: "Now that you have the skills to cultivate swords, you should tell me earlier so that I can take you out for a walk and choose the best place to raise swords, whether it is the Shiwan Mountains in the southwest."

, or the Tantric Seven Gods Mountain, they are all better than here! How can such a thing be decided at will?"

Chen Ji pointed to the east and said: "Master, I chose the sun as the place to raise my sword."

Old Yao's expression froze, and he slowly raised his head to look at the rising sun: "You..."

…

…

At this time, a sneaky voice came from outside the courtyard wall: "Bai Li, Bai Li, step on me and climb up. Slowly, slowly, don't fall."

The crow flew into the sky and left early.

Chen Ji turned his head and looked towards the courtyard wall, and saw Princess Baili sticking her head out and quietly looking at the courtyard.

"Wow, Chen Ji, Imperial Physician Yao, are you awake? Good morning," Bai Li stepped on the prince's shoulder and waved hello.

Chen Ji was confused: "Princess Baili, do you and the Crown Prince get up so early?"

Princess Baili smiled and explained: "We all went to Mr. Wang's place to finish our morning classes. Mr. Wang is so cruel, my brother got a slap on the palm again this morning."

Outside the courtyard wall, the prince urged: "Bai Li, you go over there first and then we can talk."

Bai Li held up his hands, turned over, and followed the ladder to the courtyard.

Old man Yao looked at the other person's familiar appearance, raised his eyebrows, and looked at Chen Ji with a solemn expression.

Chen Ji hurriedly said: "Master, I've given you all the tolls."

"I almost forgot," Old Yao frowned, stood up and carried the bamboo stick into the apprentice's dormitory: "You guys talk, I'll wake up She Dengke and Liu Quxing."

After a while, the two senior brothers howled like ghosts and wolves, one was holding his buttocks to fetch water, the other was holding his buttocks to sweep the floor, while Liang Maoer happily got into the kitchen to light a fire to cook.

Surprisingly, Princess Baili also rolled up her sleeves, went into the kitchen and skillfully scooped out a spoonful of lard and threw it into the pot. It seemed that she was ready to help cook.

Chen Ji wondered: "Why is the princess so skilled?"

Bai Li smiled and said: "We were like this when we were in the academy. Gentlemen were not allowed to take charge of the book boy, so everyone had to fend for themselves."

“Everyone fends for themselves?”

"No," Bai Li thought for a while and said, "Some people from very good families will pay their classmates from less well-off families to help with laundry and cooking. They live a better life. My brother also wants to do this, but

I wrote to my father and reported him!"

The prince leaned on the door frame outside the kitchen and said feebly: "Bai Li, you have to think about it this way. Some students who are in trouble want to go to Donglin Academy, and it takes all the efforts of the whole family just to study silver. But they will still have to take the provincial examination in the future.

, after the provincial examination, you have to go to the capital to take the joint examination. If you take the high school entrance examination, you have to buy a house and land in the capital, which all costs money. We save effort and they make money, so what's wrong?"

"No way!"

With a sneer, the princess skillfully heated up the oil in a pot, poured the washed and chopped cabbage into the pot, and made a spicy and sour cabbage dish. The aroma wafted into the courtyard.

The Taiping Medical Center used to be like a forgotten corner of the world, but now it looks like a large courtyard full of fireworks.

This smoke brought Chen Ji back from the official world to the human world.
