Chapter 8 Polestar Hall

After the disciple in green shirt finished the briefing, Li Changsong said with a smile: "It seems that as soon as the senior brother arrives, the master can't help but leave the seclusion early."

Zheng He said sternly: "Since Master has already known that I am coming, the time for leaving the customs must have been set, and we will not give up halfway. Let's go, I haven't seen Master for many years." After saying that, he walked out of the hospital first.

All the disciples followed behind and walked in a file.

However, Wang Changfeng and Yu Zhen'er finally landed at the end. Firstly, they were ranked lower in the ranking, and secondly, Yu Zhen'er deliberately and quietly pulled Wang Changfeng's sleeve and pinched his arm hard: "Moreover

Once again, you are not allowed to take the initiative, remember?"

Wang Changfeng grinned in pain: "I've told you eight hundred times, as long as Master doesn't put a knife to my neck, I won't agree, so that's alright."

The two of them followed the large group of people and walked towards the Pole Star Palace.

Ji Xing Hall is said to be the main hall, but in fact it is not much larger than other courtyards, but it has an extra aura of passion. As soon as the disciples entered the hall, they immediately became cautious and kept silent. There was a painting hanging in the middle of the hall.

The painting is about ten feet tall. The figure in the painting is carrying an ancient sword on his back, with flowing green clothes and high spirits. He is stepping on the waves, but seems to be strolling in the courtyard. He is the founder of the Big Dipper Nebula School, Master Evian. According to legend,

At that time, Master Evian, without a boat or an oar, crossed hundreds of miles of ocean alone and came to Qixing Island to establish a sect. This painting depicts this legendary story.

In front of the painting is a wooden couch covered with plain mats. An old man with white beard and hair and a strong spirit is sitting on it. He is none other than Master Kukai, the current head of the Beidou Nebula Sect. Master Kukai's eyes are slightly dim.

He closed his hands and made a kung fu secret with both hands, as if he was meditating.

There are several rows of futons placed on the ground on both sides of the hall for the disciples to sit and listen to lectures.

As soon as Zheng He entered the hall, he saw the master above him. He quickly walked forward, bowed to the end, and kowtowed: "Disciple Zheng He pays homage to the master."

The disciples who followed also worshiped: "I have met Master."

Kukai opened his eyes and said slowly: "Everyone is exempt from courtesy."

After Zheng He got up, he was just about to step aside and find a futon to sit on, when Kukai said: "Bring a chair to Mr. Zheng."

A disciple nearby had already brought over an armchair and placed it next to Kukai's couch.

Zheng He hurriedly refused to sit down, but Kukai said: "Master Zheng is here as a guest this time. He is not a member of our family, so please don't be polite."

When Zheng He heard what his master said, he had no choice but to sit down sideways.

The other disciples found a place to sit down according to their usual positions, and Yu Zhen'er and Wang Changfeng also sat at the bottom.

Zheng He took a closer look at his master at this time and saw that although the old man's beard had turned a lot whiter over the years, his expression was getting healthier. He couldn't help but feel happy in his heart and said with a smile: "I have been separated for more than ten years, and today I have returned to the master's door.

, I am very happy to see Master looking more energetic than before."

Kukai said: "After ten years as an official, my tongue has become much smarter."

Zheng He was surprised: "The master's praises, the disciples have made some progress, and it's not all due to the master's teachings." This sentence actually made Kukai half-hearted.

Kukai smiled and said: "I'm climbing more and more smoothly. You have come all the way this time, and you must have visited the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. I wonder if you want people or things?"

Zheng He was swept away by Kukai's gentle gaze, and felt as if he had been seen through. He hurriedly replied: "This disciple has indeed come under the emperor's orders. Today, the Holy Spirit cherishes talents. Hearing that our sect has produced many talented people in recent years, he specially ordered this disciple to come here.

Come to investigate and recommend. After I go to Beijing to meet the Holy Spirit, I will use my talents accordingly."

As soon as Zheng He finished speaking, all the disciples below were surprised. Most of the disciples did not expect that the senior brother was an imperial envoy and came back to the master to select talents. After hearing this, Li Changsong confirmed his previous guess. Thinking of this

I have made a lot of preparations with my senior brother along the way, and I must have left a good impression on him, and I can't help but feel a little proud.

Thinking of this, Li Changsong smiled and said: "Disciple, congratulations to Master. The senior brother has already set a good example, and now he has been favored by the imperial court to select talents. It is really Master who has taught well."

But Kukai said: "Master Zheng served the dragon for his meritorious service. Although he encountered many hardships and dangers, it is not a disgrace to the master. It's just that this mission may not be so easy to end."

Zheng He nodded slightly in agreement, and the disciples below whispered, thinking that the master must have an insight into the opportunity, but they didn't know how difficult the errand brought by the senior brother this time was, and he had only a short time to get started.

, I’m afraid I won’t be able to catch up with this opportunity.

Li Changsong and other older disciples are a bit quick-thinking. According to their master, this mission must be unusual, but as the saying goes, wealth is found in danger, and one's own martial arts skills would be a waste if they are not used by the emperor's family.

?

Only Wang Changfeng and Yu Zhener were sitting upright, as if they didn't hear anything. Wang Changfeng's eyelids were slightly closed, and he was about to fall asleep.

Kukai continued: "Although our sect does not care about worldly affairs, it does not prohibit its disciples from walking in the world. It can do things for all people in the world, which is in line with the purpose of our sect. All things are for me and I am for all things. I just played the role of everyone in the Star Palace.

The disciples are all here and you have watched it, is there anyone you like?"

Zheng He thought that his master's clever plan had even included this section. Just as he was thinking about how to reply, Li Changsong rushed to answer: "Master, I don't know something. Just now, I accompanied my senior brother to the Yanxing Palace. The junior brothers were messing around, but I haven't heard of it yet."

Let me really show my senior brother what I have learned." It turned out that when Li Changsong heard this, he immediately realized that he had no chance to show off his skills in the star palace. On the contrary, Wang Changfeng and Yu Zhen'er each showed their unique skills, and even his third junior brother Zhou Changyan also showed off his sword skills.

, if Zheng He took a fancy to this, he would be at a disadvantage, so he had to quickly intervene and make it clear, even at the risk of betraying his fellow disciples.

When Zheng He heard this, he frowned slightly, thinking how could Li Changsong accomplish such a big thing in such a hurry. The disciples also dared to get angry and dare not speak out, thinking that this Li Changsong was too unkind. His senior brother didn't say anything, but he was

If you are singled out, you will inevitably have to be punished by the master again.

Zheng He had an idea at this time and said with a smile: "Chang Song is right. The juniors were indeed not on their homework just now. But just from playing around after school, the disciples discovered that several juniors are very skilled, which shows the strength of the talents we sent.

.”

Li Changsong regretted even more when he heard this. He really should have found a chance to show off his skills in the Star Palace just now, but he stopped him and abruptly interrupted the bet.

Seeing that Kukai didn't speak, Zheng He continued: "Junior sister Zhen'er's Tiangang Finger and junior brother Zhou's sword energy are both more than 50% skilled. What surprised the disciple even more is that junior brother Wang's Fengyun Dragon Tiger Hand has officially started.

, it’s really rare.”

When Kukai heard this, he glanced towards the audience and landed directly on Wang Changfeng at the back. He shouted: "Changyan, it's just a real thing. Changfeng only learned a few things and dared to show off everywhere and act wantonly.

Showing off, if you don’t suffer some hardships, you will not know how much trouble you will cause in the future! I will punish you by going to the sword pool to think about it for three days, and reflect on it!"

When Yu Zhen'er saw that her master was angry, she quickly pulled Wang Changfeng, who was still in a fugue. Wang Changfeng quickly knelt down and said, "I know my mistake, so I will go to the sword washing pool to receive my punishment." After that, he stood up and slowly retreated.

Got out.

When Zheng He saw that it was his own fault, he quickly begged for mercy: "Changfeng and the others are just comparing notes. Moreover, they are all members of my sect. There are no outsiders, and they are not showing off."

All the disciples felt sorry for Wang Changfeng. Although this little junior brother was a bit playful, he was very pleasant in daily life. Moreover, he also showed everyone his unique skills. It was addictive. Besides, senior brother Zhou and Yu Zhen'er also took action. Master

Punishing only Wang Changfeng alone would inevitably be biased.

Li Changsong was the only one who was secretly happy. This young junior brother was so favored by his master that he should have been taught a lesson long ago.

After Kukai finished his punishment, he continued: "All the disciples are here. If Master Zheng has any requirements for this trip, you might as well put them forward first and see if there is anyone who meets the conditions."

Zheng He guessed the master's intention, pondered for a moment, and said: "In terms of martial arts, I believe that all the junior brothers have their own skills. It's just that this errand has to go to sea, and the sea kung fu will probably be passable." Zheng He was worried that the master would let the junior brothers.

The martial arts competition only hurt the harmony, so I chose a less intense method to test my martial arts skills, just to see how the juniors excelled at sea.

Kukai nodded, twirled his beard and said: "This matter is quite simple. There is an island thirty miles away from here. There is a stone on the island, and there is a scripture engraved on the stone. Who can do it within two days?

Copy a section of the scripture back and recommend it to Master Zheng as a teacher. Only one thing is that you are not allowed to use boats. The other eight immortals can cross the sea and show their magical powers!"

All the disciples answered in unison: "Yes!" and then left the hall one after another and went to think about the method of copying scriptures.

Zheng He smiled and said: "Master is so brilliant, I really admire you."

Kukai shook his head and smiled: "Who do you think will succeed?"

Zheng He thought for a while and said, "It's hard for others to say. I think Junior Brother Changfeng is flexible and changeable, so I'm afraid he can succeed. It's just that he was punished by Master for three days and had no chance to participate."

Kukai sneered: "That bastard can make a round trip in half a day, let alone two days. The reason why we send him away is to give other disciples a chance to silence everyone."

Zheng He said curiously: "If we rely purely on manpower, I can give it a try if I am confident. However, it takes half a day to travel thirty miles by sea, and manpower is definitely not feasible."

Kukai smiled and said: "You are right, manpower is indeed not feasible."

Zheng He was confused for a moment. Since manpower was not feasible and ships could not be used, could it be possible to fly across the thirty miles on the back of a bird?

Kukai smiled and said: "Don't guess, it's just a child's play. If you have nothing to do these two days, just play chess with me."

Zheng He quickly responded: "This is what I ask for."

At this time, all the disciples had flocked to the seaside to find a way to cross the sea. However, the master strictly prohibited the use of boats. Is it possible to swim across? Not many of the disciples were afraid of water, and there were many people with excellent water skills. However, the sea was dangerous, and these thirty

Li Chun had to carefully consider whether he could swim by human power. Several anxious disciples had already taken off their coats and plunged into the sea. They only swam a dozen feet before being pushed back by the waves and lying on the shore one by one.

Breathing heavily. After seeing this, everyone else did not dare to try it rashly.
