Chapter 68: Deliberately Finding Fault
After a day of repairing, Jiang Li and Song Shuyang said goodbye to Zhao Ting and officially embarked on the road to Maoshan.
This time, the two of them have been the quietest since they walked together, and they didn't encounter anything bad.
I think it's because of the boundaries of Maoshan Mountain, no one dares to be presumptuous.
Three days later, it was the Xuanling Contest in Maoshan, and Jiang Li followed Song Shuyang back to the Maoshan Sect.
Although Song Shuyang, a disciple of Maoshan, is a personal disciple of the head of Maoshan, because of the large number of disciples and Song Shuyang's own unsatisfactory cultivation, he naturally received less attention.
Seriously, Jiang Li felt that he was mentally prepared, but after seeing Song Shuyang's residence, he was still a little speechless.
The second floor of Taiyiguan is a library attic, and there is a room next to it, which is Jiang Li's house.
Even Lao Dao and his master only lived in a dilapidated house, and Jiang Li's house turned out to be the best one in Taiyiguan.
Not to mention the collection of books, ancient scrolls or forbidden books, Jiang Li can go and read them at any time.
"No, Old Song, is your sect very poor, but when I look at the buildings around me, I obviously don't look poor!" Jiang Li still couldn't help but ask, "Are you a personal disciple of the head of the sect, so you live here?"
It's not that Jiang Li dislikes it, he often sleeps in the mountains, the sky is the quilt, the ground is the bed, and he has done everything, but he feels a little incomprehensible.
As we all know, in any sect, as long as it is a personal disciple of the head of the sect, the status is already much higher than that of others.
As a result, when I arrived at Song Shuyang, I lived in a dilapidated and rotten yard, and if it rained, it would rain heavily and lightly in the house.
Luckily, there were two small rooms with two small wooden beds.
Song Shuyang sighed, "No way, let me tell you secretly, our Maoshan is actually not as simple as outsiders think, the water here is deep." It is true that my master is ostensibly the head of Maoshan, but he does not have much real power, and the real power is in the hands of the Great Elder. Even my little junior sister is worried about the grandson of the Great Elder, and I am sad. ”
Speaking of this, Song Shuyang could only sit helplessly on the bed, his face was ugly.
It turned out that this was the case, Jiang Li finally knew why Song Shuyang would go down the mountain to practice.
"Then your status is so embarrassing, will there be any problems with me following you to participate in the Xuanling Competition?" Jiang Li remembered this key question, "If it's difficult, I won't participate, and it's okay for you to participate." ”
Since Song Shuyang is not good here, he doesn't want to embarrass him.
Song Shuyang waved his hand and looked at Jiang Li with a smile, "How can you be so exaggerated, don't worry, the inner disciples of Maoshan can recommend one person to participate, as long as they are not more than thirty years old." I've already handed in your information, no problem, and you don't need to find out the source, you are my brother, I naturally want you to try. ”
Jiang was warm, it was difficult for Song Shuyang to think so carefully, thank you and not say it.
While the two were talking, there was a sound of footsteps outside.
"Senior Brother Song, I heard that you are back, so I came to see you. A young male voice could be heard outside the house.
Hearing this voice, Song Shuyang's face immediately stepped down, and he looked at the door with a displeased expression.
"Look, I'll just say, it's not good when you come back. While speaking, Song Shuyang stood up, walked to the door, and opened the door with a smiling face, "It turned out to be the third senior brother, senior brother come in and sit." ”
There were four men standing outside the house, all wearing the clothes of Maoshan disciples, but the ornaments on their waists were slightly different, and the jade pendants on the waist of the leading men looked more high-end.
The four people walked in with a smile, and the man in charge looked at Song Shuyang with disdain in his eyes.
Song Shuyang didn't care, stepped forward and introduced the man with a smile.
"Third Senior Brother, this is my good brother Jiang Li, we met together to exorcise ghosts. Last time I mentioned him to my master, he is very cultivated, if it weren't for him, the female ghost in red, I wouldn't be able to clean it up. As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Jiang Li again, "Lao Jiang, this is my third senior brother Zhang Chen, my master has a total of nine disciples except for the little junior sister, and I am the ninth and worst one." As for the three around him, they were all from the Great Elder's side, and they were all senior brothers. ”
Since Jiang Li came to Maoshan as a guest, he naturally wouldn't have trouble without anything, after all, Maoshan's heritage is not bad, and it is a big sect in the end.
"Zhang Dao is friendly. Jiang Li pinched a Taoist gesture to say hello.
When Zhang Chen heard this, he looked at Jiang Li and smiled contemptuously, directly ignoring Jiang Li's courtesy, and walked in front of Song Shuyang instead.
I thought that Zhang Chen was displeased, at least he should be able to get by on the surface, but who knew that he didn't look at Jiang Li at all. Song Shuyang's face also sank, wasn't this obviously slapping him in the face in front of Jiang Li?
"Everyone is saying that you won't come back after a quarrel with the master, so you are still reluctant. Saying that, Zhang Chen paused again, looked at Jiang Li, glanced at Jiang Li's nondescript dress, and was even more disdainful in his heart, "I thought you had gone down the mountain to make a living, but as a result, all the indiscriminate people were brought to the sect, be careful that the master knew about it, and he was even more disappointed in you." ”
Song Shuyang is actually very low-key in Maoshan, always suppresses himself, and will not resist in the face of bullying by his senior brothers.
Over time, these senior brothers like to bully him when they have nothing to do.
However, people always have some things and people that they care about, and they have their own counterscales. It just so happened that Jiang Li was the first brother Song Shuyang met after going down the mountain, and he was also his reverse scale, so he naturally couldn't let his senior brother embarrass Jiang Li.
"Third Senior Brother, Jiang Li is my good brother, I hope you can respect a little, otherwise, I am not afraid of breaking the door rules. Song Shuyang said coldly, "If the third senior brother just wants to come and catch up with the junior brother, then the junior brother will naturally sweep the couch to greet him." But if you come looking for trouble, then I am not afraid. It's a big deal, it's a fight, and when the time comes, people will see our hospitality in Maoshan. ”
Zhang Chen's face also sank, and he stared at Song Shuyang coldly, "It seems that after Senior Brother Song went out, he also grew up and knew that he was disrespectful to Senior Brother." In this case, I have to educate and educate Senior Brother Song for the master, so as not to let people look at our jokes for no reason. ”
"It just so happens that after my training a few days ago, my cultivation has made some progress, so I have Senior Brother Lao to guide me. Song Shuyang was not to be outdone.
Jiang Li approached Song Shuyang, and he could see at a glance that Zhang Chen was deliberately looking for fault, and there might be some conspiracy.
If he really did it, something might happen, and he naturally wanted to stop it.
Suddenly, a footstep came to mind, and then a slender figure appeared in the doorway.
"What are you doing?"
