Chapter 35: Special cases
The scene was cozy as the senior brother and junior brother greeted each other, and the sect took on new members.
Such a picture was an unspeakable shock to the gray-shirted swordsman not far away.
He knew that this young man from the wine store must not be ordinary, however, he did not expect that under the difficulties encountered at the mountain gate, he would easily solve the problem with such an amazing performance.
Su Qin looked at such a picture and hung his hands in silence, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart.
With Shen Bai as the leader, the dozens of students who blocked the mountain gate at the beginning had the expression of being slapped dozens of times on their faces, but those students who rushed in later who were not radical themselves, after the initial shock, but there were many thousands of congratulations to see the salute as well.
It was just that everyone hadn't expected that the shock that Ding Ning had brought today wouldn't stop there.
At this very moment, somewhere on the mountain path within the White Sheep Cave mountain gate, another figure slowly floated out.
This was a middle-aged man with a Dao bun, his face serious and cold, his eye brows like several thin straight lines, even giving off the feeling that they were about to cut through the skin on his own face.
The sword on the side of his waist was also very slender, the scabbard was made of green bamboo, the width of the scabbard was not even more than two fingers or so, so one could imagine how slender the sword body inside was, but the length of the whole sword was far more than a normal sword, even if it was hanging diagonally, the end of the scabbard almost scratched the ground.
The hilt of this sword was also longer than the average sword hilt, it looked like it was made of red coral stone from overseas, and the entire hilt went all the way across his body, which was hanging on the left side, with the middle of the hilt coming right up to the front of his right hand.
"Senior Uncle Daoji."
Seeing this stern and cold middle-aged man walking towards them, all of the White Sheep Cave disciples gathered near the mountain gate all had a chill in their hearts and saluted one after another.
Li Daoji, not only is one of the highest cultivation in the White Sheep Cave, but also holds the commandment sword on weekdays, if a disciple violates the rules of the White Sheep Cave, it is up to him to decide what kind of punishment to do.
"What are you doing here?"
Li Daoji's gaze didn't even fall on the rest of the people, he just looked at Zhang Yi solemnly and coldly, and said unhappily, "Have you even forgotten what the Cave Master has instructed you to do?"
Zhang Yi was stunned, and immediately reacted, apologetically saying to the several students of the Green Vine Sword Academy, including Nangong Cai Beans, who were on Ding Ning's side, "Indeed, it was an oversight, Zhang Yi was instructed to take all of you to the Scripture Scrolls Cave of the White Sheep Cave to study."
Going to the Scripture Scroll Cave to study?
All the White Sheep Cave students around them began to understand the intentions of Nangong Caiyang and the others today, and feelings of powerlessness and humiliation welled up in their hearts.
The Holy Spirit's decree has been issued, the White Sheep Cave has been returned to the Qingteng Sword Academy, and the students of the Qingteng Sword Academy have begun to have the opportunity to enter the Scripture Scrolls Cave of the White Sheep Cave to study, and today Nangong Cai Peas and the others are the first batch of people to do so.
Li Daoji turned away, as if he had come out just to remind Zhang Yi of this sentence, however, just at the moment he turned to move his steps, he coldly said, "The Cave Master has instructed Ding Ning to also enter the Scripture Scrolls Cave to select the canonical books to study together."
A heavy inhaling sound rang out.
These words once again sent all the White Sheep Cave students around this mountain gate into incomprehensible shock.
However, Li Daoji seemed to not be satisfied that this shock was not enough, as he then added, "Not limited to inside and outside."
In an instant, there was a dead silence at the entrance of this mountain.
In addition to a few sect secret techniques that were passed down from body to body, the Scripture Scroll Cave of White Sheep Cave contained all of White Sheep Cave's heart teachings, including the understanding of cultivation that many generations of White Sheep Cave cultivators had on their own cultivation paths.
Even the disciples of this sect would only have their first entry into the Scripture and History Cave to study after about half a year of study.
Moreover, the Scripture Scroll Cave was divided into inner and outer.
The outer cave's mind method and some records are easier to understand, and there are mostly no special restrictions on cultivation, so any disciple within the door can read and study, however, the inner cave's canonical books are more esoteric, especially the insights and experiences of many former great minds for some techniques are not necessarily completely 100% correct, and they need to be screened on their own, so the only disciples who have met certain requirements in certain aspects, and who must also have made a contribution to the door to a A disciple of a certain degree would only be allowed to enter.
"Why on earth?"
A loud shout filled with many emotions broke the dead silence. The one who spoke out was Shen Bai, who felt that this was too unfair, even he had never yet obtained the qualification to study in the inner cave of the Scripture Scroll Cave. So even though he was facing the possibility of a severe chastisement from Senior Uncle Li Daoji, he could not hold back.
However, Li Daoji did not even turn his head back and spat out a few words in a breezy manner, "It's just a special case."
Shen Bai froze.
He could not speak.
Although the White Sheep Cave students around him all had their hearts a little numb due to the intense shock of the succession, at this moment, when they heard these words from Li Daoji, they instead felt that it made sense.
This was because Ding Ning's previous performance had led them to already believe that Ding Ning's ability to make an exception to enter the White Sheep Cave was not due to the existence of any unseemly dealings, but simply because the cave master's vision had discovered Ding Ning's unique talent.
Then, since even the initiation was an exception to not being recruited during the Great Examination, what was wrong with making another exception now and letting him directly enter the Scripture Scroll Library to cultivate?
While looking at Li Daoji's back, Ding Ning's eyes were also welling up with a strange look.
Empress...
Once again, he recalled this title that seemed excessively distant because the difference in status was too great.
Then he remembered the white-haired old man whose sword was like a white goat's horn.
To be able to offend the Empress, coupled with these accidents at the moment... it seemed that this White Sheep Cave was not as ordinary as the eyes of the vast majority of the people out there made it out to be.
......
Special column, Ding Ning followed behind Zhang Yi to cross the stone monument, the dust settled, and no one made a sound to stop again.
The gray-shirted swordsman's eyes were filled with shock that still hadn't dissipated, and he drove his carriage away, deciding that he must tell Wang Taixu word for word about what had happened here.
Zhang Yi was very attentive, and since it happened to be just after lunchtime, he had even caused some rice balls to be prepared and delivered to Ding Ning and Nangong Caiyang and the others shortly after they had just passed through the mountain gate.
"Eating and drinking is strictly forbidden in the Jing Shi Cave, and when it comes to meal time there will naturally be people sending food boxes outside the Jing Shi Cave, and according to the cave master's instructions, each batch of the Green Vine Sword Academy enters to study for a day, and as for you, Senior Brother Ding Ning...the cave master didn't specify, and just now, Senior Uncle Li Daoji also didn't specify, so I suppose it should be unlimited time, and you can stay until you yourself want to come out and rest."
"I'll help you arrange your residence, so there's no need to worry about anything... As for the cultivation course, the time of your initiation is different from that of an ordinary disciple, plus the Cave Master has said that it's a special case for special treatment, so I'll have to go and ask the Cave Master's opinion at that time."
Zhang Yi led the way in front of him, making introductions as Ding Ning delicately nibbled on rice balls mixed with wild vegetables and unknown beast meat while sizing up the true appearance of this place of cultivation.
In the Great Qin Dynasty, the first-class sects were naturally the Minshan Sword Sect and the Spirit Void Sword Sect, both of which had thousands of inner disciples and tens of thousands of miscellaneous disciples in the outer court, and the thousands of inner disciples that had been collected over the decades were all the best talents from all over the Great Qin Dynasty, even from the vassal states.
These two sects are naturally superior, and all the other sects simply can't be compared to them.
In addition to these two clans, there are more than ten first-rate clans in the Great Qin Dynasty, among which several clans, such as the Hengshan Sword Academy, flourished because they received full support from all but the most outstanding princes and generals in the world, while the rest, such as the Ink Ruins Sword Grotto and the Zhengyi Academy, are also clans with a deep heritage.
Every year, White Sheep Cave can recruit only dozens of students with cultivation qualifications, and among all the students who come out, there are very few cultivators who can reach the top grade of the fourth realm.
And White Sheep Cave originally even participate in the Minshan Sword Club, such as, the holy bestowed once a year to enter those big sects to learn the competition opportunities are not, which shows that the White Sheep Cave in the Qingteng Sword Academy did not merge into the before, is actually belong to the third-rate sects, and some of the Minshan Sword Sect's outside the cultivation place is not as good as compared to.
Only some years of cultivation place always has some unique weather.
After truly entering the gates of the White Sheep Cave, Ding Ning realized that all of the halls in the White Sheep Cave were supported by pillars and built on the steep rocks on both sides of the canyon.
Almost all of the stone steps were artificially carved out of the cliff face, and some of the halls were connected to each other by rope bridges.
Most of the halls amounted to little more than a gate, with a single cave inside.
The bottom of the canyon between the woods and the river valley, but there is no trace of any artificial carving, there is no building, maintaining the original appearance.
Apparently the earliest batch of cultivators from White Sheep Cave had carved caves into the cliffs on both sides of this canyon.
"Our place of cultivation and residence are in the caves on the cliffs on both sides, the caves are warm in winter and cool in summer, and there is a kind of white ash stone in our White Sheep Gorge's caves that will naturally absorb the water vapor, so the caves won't be too heavy with moisture like elsewhere. However, during weekdays, sometimes the mountain wind is very strong, senior brother, you are thin and the road is not familiar, if you walk alone, remember to be careful, and during weekdays, the place where the stone steps are, is the place where our disciples can reach, as for all the places where the rope bridge is, all of them need some special permission to enter..." Zhang Yi introduced in detail, also mentioning the White Sheep Grotto cave, the cave is a kind of white ash stone which will naturally absorb the water vapor, so the cave will not be too heavy with moisture like other places. He was also mentioning the matter of the White Sheep Cave cavern.
Hearing this, Ding Ning suddenly interjected, "Senior brother, since this is a special case, I would like to stay back at the Wutong Village for some of the night, can I? After all, my sister-in-law is the only one in my Wutong Drop wine store, it's rather cold, and I can also help out with some things when I go back."
Zhang Yi was stunned, and immediately replied, "It definitely wouldn't be possible for anyone else, it's just that Senior Brother... I still have to have someone ask Senior Uncle Daoji or the Cave Master before saying anything."
