Chapter 55 Sword Master

Chapter 55 Sword Master
The service hall is very efficient.

After the Shen hour, he sent several errand disciples to the foot of the bell tower.

"Senior Brother Li."

Hall Master Xu hurriedly said respectfully: "The five errand disciples here all joined last year. They come from clean families and have honest and decent personalities."

Behind him stood five young men.

They all lowered their heads, very nervous.

"Raise your head and let Senior Brother Li take a good look."

Hall Master Xu quickly spoke to the five young men behind him.

The five young men quickly raised their heads, some of them were so nervous that they couldn't stand still.

"Just him."

Li Qian took a quick look and pointed at one of the dark and thin boys who looked more pleasing to the eye.

"Liu Ming, you stay at Chenzhongtai and listen carefully to what Senior Brother Li says."

Hall Master Xu said to the dark and thin young man.

Then he bowed to Li Qian and said, "Brother Li, I will leave first."

"Go."

Li Qian nodded.

So Master Xu took the other four new errand disciples down the mountain.

The dark and thin young man was left standing there alone, at a loss as to what to do.

"Liu Ming, right?"

Li Qian said.

"Li, Senior Brother Li"

The dark and thin young man Liu Ming stuttered a little.

"You don't have to be nervous. From now on, your job is to ring the bell on time when I'm not around. If I'm here, you don't have to worry about ringing the bell. You just need to be responsible for the sanitation of the bell tower and three meals a day."

Li Qian said.

The thin and dark-skinned young man Liu Ming listened attentively.

But he was still a little confused. Wasn't ringing the bell a job for a menial disciple like him?

Why can I only ring the bell when Senior Brother Li is not around?
Although he was a little confused, he didn't ask.

He is a very obedient person and does whatever Senior Brother Li says.

Then, Li Qian took Liu Ming into the bell tower and began to teach him the number of times to ring the bell, the techniques, how to adjust the hourglass, and some special festivals.

"From now on, the daily adjustment of the hourglass will also be handed over to you."

Li Qian added.

"Okay, Brother Li."

Liu Ming nodded quickly.

When it was You time, Li Qian asked Liu Ming to watch from the side.

Li Qian got into position, grabbed the striker with both hands, and with a slight force, he pushed the striker so hard that it hit the Chen Bell heavily.

The clear sound of the bell spread out and echoed through the sky.

dong dong dong
There were seven consecutive sounds, and the lingering sound continued.

Liu Ming watched carefully, not daring to miss any details.

"Okay, fix the hourglass again."

Li Qian let go of the collision rod and said to Liu Ming.

Liu Ming hurried over and started tinkering with it.

Li Qian took out his sword and began to practice sword skills.

After Liu Ming finished, he was attracted by Li Qian's sword skills.

The whole set of swordsmanship did not look beautiful at all, but he could feel the hairs all over his body standing up, as if the air was filled with countless needles invisible to the naked eye, causing his skin to feel a slight tingling sensation.

Bravo.

This was his first feeling.

Although he couldn't understand it at all.

After the practice, Li Qian saw Liu Ming still watching and said, "Let's go make dinner."

"Yes, Brother Li."

Liu Ming responded and was about to go down the bell tower.

"Wait a minute, I'll teach you how to do it."

Li Qian called him.

"Brother Li, my family is from the countryside, and I have been cooking and doing housework since I was a child."

Liu Ming said quickly.

"It's good as long as you can do it."

Li Qian nodded and told Liu Ming that in addition to cooking medicinal meat porridge for three meals a day, he also had to make a few ordinary dishes.

Liu Ming took it all in and started working in the bell tower.

This young man was quite nimble and was really good at doing housework. After the meal was ready, Master Zhou Buping also came over.

He was very satisfied when he saw that Li Qian had recruited a menial disciple.

It is really outrageous that an inner sect disciple is doing menial work like ringing the bell. Even if ringing the bell is really helpful for cultivation, he can't tie himself to the Chenzhongtai, right?

"Liu Ming, help yourself to a bowl of porridge."

Li Qian said.

"Ah I."

Liu Ming was stunned.

Can he still eat?

He worked as a handyman in Baicao Garden, and the first thing he had to do was to memorize knowledge about various medicinal materials.

The medicinal materials used in the medicinal meat porridge cooked this time are all high-quality ones.

The most important thing is the meat jerky of exotic animals.

He had only heard of this thing. It was said that only inner disciples could eat it.

"What? Aren't you hungry?"

Li Qian asked.

Liu Ming had been growling with hunger for a long time. He scratched his head and smiled, then picked up a bowl and served himself a small bowl.

But just this small bowl made him almost cry.

There were several pieces of chopped exotic animal meat inside.

No wonder all the menial disciples are vying to come to Chenzhongtai by spending money and using connections.

On the first day I arrived, I was able to eat such a delicious medicinal meat porridge meal.

Is this the opportunity that many menial disciples often talk about?
the next morning.

After Li Qian rang the bell, he left the Chen Bell Platform and went to the inner gate with his master Zhou Buping.

Before leaving, he told Liu Ming that he would carry out the next bell-ringing task while he was away.

He didn't give as many warnings and instructions as Old Master Song did in the past, for fear that any problem might arise.

At that time, Mr. Song was also a errand disciple. If there was a problem with the bell-ringing time, once it was discovered, the errand hall might hold him accountable, so he was walking on thin ice.

But does the Menial Services Hall dare to do that now?

This is the confidence that comes from identity strength.

inner door.

Outside the Divine Sword Hall.

More than twenty people have gathered.

Li Qian also saw some familiar faces.

They were all core disciples who participated in the true teaching selection a few years ago.

The last time the sword tomb was opened, they didn't go in and the reason was very simple.

Once you have entered the Sword Tomb in advance, you will not be able to participate in the true transmission selection.

At the beginning, Zhou Buping did not want Li Qian to enter the Sword Tomb early, because it was for the later selection of true disciples, so that Li Qian would have the opportunity to enter the Sword Sharpening Cave and comprehend the murals in the cave.

The elders and peak masters of each peak have already entered the Divine Sword Hall.

Master Zhou Buping also went in.

"Junior Brother Li, long time no see."

Pang Bai greeted with a smile. He was dressed in black and had a bald head, which made him look very unique.

"Brother Pang."

Li Qian also nodded in response.

He could sense that Pang Bai and others who had participated in the first true transmission selection had all entered the innate realm.

Only those selected for the true teachings this time are at the acquired realm.

But at least they have comprehended the secret skills and even the sword intent, and they will be able to break through to the innate realm in a few years.

The others just glanced at Li Qian and didn't say hello.

Li Qian was almost unknown in the inner sect. Maybe when he participated in the true disciple selection before, some people were curious about him. But after a few years, he had long been forgotten.

What's more, among the inner sect, every year there are new talents emerging and becoming new hot figures.

After a long time.

The elders and peak masters in the Divine Sword Hall came out.

However, the most eye-catching one was a man with a sword on his back and wearing a black iron mask.

"I am the sword master guarding the sword tomb. Follow me."

The sword-carrying man wearing a black iron mask made a hoarse sound, turned around and walked towards the right side of the Divine Sword Hall.

To the left of the Divine Sword Hall is the Zhenchuan Hall, which is built against the cliff.

On the right was a bottomless abyss shrouded in white fog.

When everyone followed the man with the black iron mask and the sword on his back to the edge of the cliff, they suddenly saw a stone tablet standing on the edge of the cliff.

Letter to the Emperor: This is a sacred places of the sword tomb, no one is allowed to approach.
