Chapter 5: Dr. Mo
After another moment, Han Li only felt a tightness in his waist, his body lightened, and his entire body suddenly and automatically rose upwards.
Han Li turned his head to look, but it was the senior brother who was following closely behind him holding himself with one hand, the other hand and legs agilely climbing upwards, Han Li at the same time noticed that the sun was hanging high in the middle of the sky.
It turned out that he had finally failed to complete the journey, Han Li felt a little sad in his heart, he had worked so hard, how could he still be no better than the others?
Turning his eyes to the top of the cliff, in front of him there were only six children sitting on the sidelines resting, while Maoyan was talking to a rich old man in a dark blue member’s robe with his hands behind his back, in his fifties, and both Hall Master Yue and Protector Wang were standing right next to him, with several others standing next to the two of them, and together they were waiting for those young masters to bring the other slower children up the mountain one by one.
After waiting for a while all the children were sent up, at this time Hall Master Yue stepped forward and faced the children solemnly.
”There are a total of seven people who have qualified this time, six of them will enter the Hundred Forge Hall of this Sect and formally become inner disciples of this Sect.” He said slowly.
”The other person, Dancing Rock, was the first to reach the cliff and performed outstandingly, so he will be directly guaranteed a place in the Seven Extremities Hall to learn the Sect’s Jedi Techniques.” Hall Master Yue glanced back at the old man in the officer’s robe, who twirled his beard in his hand and nodded at him in satisfaction.
”As for the others ……,” Hall Master Yue surveyed the rest of the children for a few moments, gently stroked his chin with his right hand, and after a little contemplation said, “Zhang Tie, Han Li, although the two did not arrive at the top of the cliff on time, their performance is Outstanding, it seems to be able to endure the pain of practicing martial arts, the two of you will first lay down your foundation with a few instructors in this sect, and then you will be assessed again in half a year, if you qualify, you will formally become an inner disciple, if you do not qualify, you will be sent to the outer sect to become an outer disciple.”
Han Li glanced at another child who had stepped forward at the same time, named Zhang Tie, who was the very same person who had followed closely behind him, also hanging from a rope, and had almost climbed to the top of the cliff.
”Protector Wang, the remaining people will each receive some silver, and all of them will be sent home.” Hall Master Yue coldly looked at the last remaining children.
”As you wish!” Protector Wang stepped out and respectfully led the children who had not passed the test down the cliff.
”Zhang Jun, Wu Mingrui, the two of you bring these people who have passed to this hall and hand them over to Vice Hall Master Gu and Instructor Li respectively.”
Two more youths led the order and walked out, dividing Han Li and the others into two groups towards the bottom of the mountain cliff, and one of them was none other than that cold and icy senior brother. When they were about to descend the cliff, Han Li couldn’t help but glance at Maoyan, realizing that he was still talking to that blue-robed old man without the slightest appearance of moving.
”He’s not like you guys, he’s a core disciple sent to the Seven Extremities Hall, and once he learns and comes out, he’ll be a protector status at the very least.” Another thin, long-faced senior brother seemed to have seen the doubts in Han Li’s mind and took the initiative to explain, but in his words, he seemed to carry a trace of indescribable envy and jealousy.
”It’s not because he has a cousin’s husband who is a Vice Sect Master, if it weren’t for the fact that he has a cousin who is married to Vice Sect Master Ma as a continuation wife, or else by virtue of him! He’s over the age of the entry requirements, how can he still enter the Seven Extremities Hall?” The words spoken by the cold and icy senior brother made everyone feel a cold, cool air rising up behind them.
”Zhang Jun, don’t you want to die, the Vice Sect Master is also someone we can talk about carelessly! If the other fellow disciples hear about it, you and I won’t be able to escape the punishment of facing the wall and repenting!” The long, thin-faced senior brother was startled when he heard Cold Cold’s words, and panicked as he looked around, seeing that there were no outsiders other than these few children, he was relieved.
Cold cold elder brother cold snorted, seems to have some scruples in his heart, and then no longer speak, Han Li then realized that this cold cold elder brother called Zhang Jun. Han Li seemed to understand what they said in his heart, but vaguely knew that Maoyan was not relying on real talent to enter the Seven Destroyers Hall, but because the door has a relative of the deputy head of the door as a backer, to be able to enter effortlessly.
Walking on the mountain road, these two senior brothers in their hearts were reminded of some of the frustrating things within the door, no longer in the mood to speak, just silently leading them forward, while Han Li and the others were even more afraid to speak privately, perhaps in their hearts they had all vaguely realized that the Seven Mysteries Sect was not the same as some of the places they had at home.
In passing through a dense forest, from the forest slowly out of an old man, this person is more than sixty years old, long tall and thin, face burnt yellow, but has a head of white hair long to the shoulders, this old man walks while constantly arching his body coughing, look at his coughing hard look, seems he has the possibility of collapsing at any time, people are very worried.
When Zhang Jun and his duo saw this person, they did not look worried at all, instead, they hurriedly walked forward and respectfully gave a deep salute to this old man.
”Dr. Mo, good day to your old man, is there anything you want to order your disciple to do?” Zhang Jun reversed his previous cold demeanor, his face was filled with respect, to him, this old man was more worthy of respect than the Hall Master, or even the Vice Sect Master.
”Oh, is this the new disciple who just came to the mountain?” The old man finally stopped coughing and slowly asked in a hoarse voice.
”Yes. There are six official disciples and two registered disciples among these people.” Zhang Jun replied carefully.
”I’m short of manpower right now, I’m still missing one pill refining disciple and one pill picking disciple, these two come with me.” This Doctor Mo casually pointed his hand right at Han Li and the other two named disciples, and his words were filled with an undeniable tone.
”Obey, these two are named disciples, it is a blessing for the two of them to be recognized by your old man, Doctor Mo, why don’t you come over and greet Elder Mo, if you can learn one or two hands of his old man’s healing arts, it will be a blessing for the two of you for the rest of your lives!” The two senior brothers didn’t have the slightest intention of objecting, and the long, thin-faced Wu Mingrui even patted the old man on the back.
Seeing that the two senior brothers had no opinions, Han Li and Zhang Tie naturally had no right to object and followed the old man into the forest.
The old man led the two of them, slowly walking forward along the path in the woods, turning east and west, before their eyes suddenly lit up, a lush, vibrant, emerald-green valley appeared before the eyes of several people.
On the left side of the valley was a large field emitting a strong medicinal scent, within the garden were planted many medicinal herbs that Han Li couldn’t name, while on the right side there were a dozen or so large and small connected houses, looking around, in addition to the entrance that came in, it looked as though there were no other exits that led to the outside.
”This is the Divine Hand Valley, in addition to the disciples within the valley, outsiders will not generally come here except for sickness and injury, you two will live here from now on, go and rest for a while first, and then come back to the lobby to see me at night, I have something to say to you.” The old man stood in front of a few closely connected houses and pointed to one of the smaller ones.
”You guys can call me Mo Lao from now on,” the old man added after a pause, “Calling me Dr. Mo is also fine.”
After saying this, Dr. Mo ignored the two of them, and step by step, he coughed his way into another large, more imposing room.
Han Li has long been exhausted, also do not care about another child named Zhang Tie, himself head into a wooden bed in the room, then drowsy sleep, for him, no matter how he can be considered half of the Seven Xuan Sect disciples.
