The words say:

The bustling red dust is chaotic, with a lot of laughter and a lot of resentment. The swallow dances in the wind for a day, and the warbler sings a thousand trees red.

The poplar flowers are still like snow, and they do not reduce the light and heat. In the blink of an eye, honor and disgrace were the past.

- Proposed to be "Bodhisattva Man".

Zhang Asheng is in a good mood, and so is Li Fengsheng. The days passed quickly in happiness, and in the blink of an eye it was the night of the full moon.

In the evening of that day, after Li Fengsheng finished delivering food to Zhang Asheng, he returned to Xianyun Intermediate Courtyard in the red sunset, and saw Jing Yangsheng looking at him with a question mark on his face.

It turned out that Jing Yangsheng seemed to be overjoyed every time he saw Li Fengsheng coming back from delivering food, and he was depressed for a while, and today he finally couldn't help asking:

"Senior Brother Li, I see that every time you bring food back to Senior Brother Zhang, you look quite complacent, and I find out that you have been sending his food recently, and even taking your own food to the back mountains to eat!

When Jing Yangsheng asked, Li Fengsheng couldn't help laughing: "Senior Brother Jing, I recently sent food to Senior Brother Zhang;

Later, I told him that I would practice too, and then we would compare and contrast with each other every day, but the result was that we won and lost each other, and from yesterday to today, I won him! Hahahaha, I laughed to death!"

"What kind of skill is this?"

Li Fengsheng then explained this "eating skill" to Jing Yangsheng, and Jing Yangsheng couldn't help laughing.

After laughing, Jing Yangsheng said: "This can only be called funny, not funny, in fact, it's just that we are poor and happy." Master explained before going down the mountain, I don't have time to wait, if you and I are like Zhang Asheng, we have to cultivate hard!"

Li Fengsheng said: "Yes, Senior Brother Jing, you are only a few days older than me, and as a senior brother, you can teach others a good score, don't I also practice seriously every day." ”

When Jing Yangsheng heard this, he didn't get angry, but said: "Okay, okay, the first time I talk about you, you are this set of rhetoric, as if I gave you a sin." You play with him, I'm just reminding you. From tomorrow, you won't be delivering food this decade, I'll go. ”

When Li Fengsheng heard this, he had no choice but to pout, after all, the two of them talked about the elder and younger, Jing Yangsheng is a senior brother, Li Fengsheng is a junior brother, and it is not okay not to listen to Jing Yangsheng.

Not to mention that Jing Yangsheng came to deliver food the next day, and said that that night, Zhang Asheng meditated on the wall, and in the middle of the night, Zhang Asheng's figure reflected on the stone wall walked into the stone wall silently again!

An instant later, Zhang Asheng's figure walked out of the stone wall again, still reflected on the stone wall upright!

The scene on the stone flat also changed as before: but seeing the pine waves surging, the stone flat was like a small boat swaying in the waves, and at the same time, the lone peak pierced the sky, like a sharp sword, and seemed to send out a sword roar!

Zhang Asheng was awakened again!

Zhang Asheng slowly finished his work, and when he opened his eyes, everything was as usual, and the sound of the mountain wind and pine waves flowed in the moonlight.

Zhang Asheng couldn't help but be depressed: Two months ago, I drilled the horns of the bull myself, but Senior Brother Jing reminded me that I have not yet reached the realm of the seventh floor of the heavy building, and there should be no signs of going mad.

Although two months have passed, my cultivation, although it is currently close to the seventh level of the Nine-Story Building, has not really reached it, why did I hallucinate again tonight?

Zhang Asheng thought it was his hallucination, but it wasn't.

I was so depressed that it was dawn. Later, Jing Yangsheng delivered food.

Li Fengsheng went to Shiping, and before he handed over the food, he asked first: "Senior brother, I heard Li Fengsheng say that you have practiced a special kung fu, what is it called 'eating skill', isn't this kung fu very powerful?"

Jing Yangsheng asked this in order to dispel Zhang Asheng's naughty heart, but he was afraid that Zhang Asheng would be distracted.

Speaking of which, the red-nosed Mu Ansheng is the real eldest disciple of Gongsun Fu, Jing Yangsheng should be the second senior brother, Li Fengsheng is the junior brother, Zhao Liqian is the fifth disciple of Gongsun Fu, and Zhang Asheng is actually the fourth apprentice of Gongsun Fu.

However, the master-apprentice relationship between others and Gongsun Fu is secret, but the master-apprentice relationship between Zhang Asheng and Gongsun Fu is public, so Jing and Li both call Zhang Asheng a senior brother as an ordinary boy of the Zixu Immortal Sword Sect.

But in fact, Jing Yangsheng, as the second senior brother, is more sophisticated and calm than Li Fengsheng and Zhang Asheng, and here, he has the task of supervising and supervising, and Jing Yangsheng also knows the master's intentions:

Zhang Asheng is extremely talented, and he is the expectation of his master Gongsun Fu and several senior brothers, all of whom hope that he can cultivate and become the mainstay of his side.

At this time, Jing Yangsheng spoke like this, of course, to wake up Zhang Asheng, but Zhang Asheng was still uneasy at this time because of what happened last night, and he had already forgotten about the "eating skills".

When Jing Yangsheng asked, Zhang Asheng said with a depressed face: "Hey, Senior Brother Jing, eating is just a joke." I'm worried now, why do I feel like I'm showing signs of going mad again in my cultivation after two months?"

When Jing Yangsheng heard this, he was also very depressed: As soon as I came, you told me about going mad, do I have the ability to help you solve it? You are a public disciple of the master, and the master has taught a lot, your talent is higher than ours, and your current actual cultivation is also higher than ours.

Also, you shouldn't have reached the realm of the seventh floor of the Nine-Story Building so quickly now, how could you go mad at this time?

Jing Yangsheng held back these thoughts in his heart, but he couldn't say anything about Zhang Asheng, so he had to sneer and said, "Ouch, Senior Brother Zhang, have you cultivated to the seventh floor realm now?"

Zhang Asheng could hear that the taste in Jing Yangsheng's words was wrong, but he didn't understand why Jing Yangsheng spoke sourly.

Zhang Asheng is not good at arguing with people, so he immediately took the meal, ate, and then thanked Jing Yangsheng, and then continued to face the wall.

Jing Yangsheng, at this time, he was speechless.

The next night, Zhang Asheng felt that his acquired martial arts true qi was operating normally in his body, and the night passed, and there were no "hallucinations".

Zhang Asheng couldn't think of a reason, so he just trained with his head bored, and looked forward to changing to Li Fengsheng to bring him food, so he could ask him. At least, you can also compare your eating skills with him and have fun.

However, for several days, it was not Li Feng who was born, only Jing Yang was born.

Not to mention that Zhang Asheng was cultivating in Houshan Shiping, and that Zhao Liqian went down the provincial cliff that day, he went back to the lower courtyard first and saw Mu Ansheng.

As soon as Mu Ansheng saw Zhao Liqian, he said, "Senior Brother Zhao, you come here with me, and I'll tell you something." ”

Zhao Liqian said "Senior Brother Mu is good" while following Mu Ansheng. The two quickly entered Mu Ansheng's cultivation retreat.

After sitting down, Mu Ansheng said: "Senior Brother Zhao, at present, the head of the Niu De side and the Great Elder Governor Yong side are going to woo you, which side are you going to defect to?"

Zhao Liqian said: "Senior brother, I really haven't figured this out. I think Master and you should have something in mind, so I'll listen to your arrangement, Senior Brother. ”

Mu Ansheng nodded and said: "It was a blessing that our outstanding disciples in the lower courtyard could be picked by the five old peak masters, but now our Zixu Immortal Sword Sect is a faction within a faction, and there is no more than one infighting."

The master also explained before going down the mountain, what about you, it is relatively best to choose to take refuge in Niu De's side. Because this is the most common sense, after all, Niu De is the head of the family, and his faction is slightly stronger than the Great Elder's side in terms of strength. ”

Zhao Liqian said: "Since this is the case, then I will go to pay homage to Sima Gong and promise to worship under his door." ”

Mu Ansheng said: "Don't worry about this matter. Listen to me, they also used to woo me back then, but as for me, the goal is to be the position of the head of the lower house, no one is biased, no one is offended, as a result, they all advocate preferential treatment of me, and unanimously agree that I am the deputy head of the lower house. ”

Zhao Liqian heard it and felt that what Mu Ansheng said must have a deep meaning, but he couldn't understand what Mu Ansheng meant for a while, so he looked directly at Mu Ansheng's face, hoping to get a clear explanation.

Mu Ansheng patted Zhao Liqian on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Tomorrow, I estimate that Sima Gong and Shi Tianle will definitely come to talk to you, and you can secretly promise Uncle Sima Gong, which is equivalent to taking refuge in the head of the house." I will try to get you to stay in the House of Commons so that you are relatively safe and we can communicate with each other. ”

"And what am I going to say?"

"When they came to woo you, you said, I grew up in the lower courtyard, and I haven't stepped into the realm of the true path yet, but I think that if I cultivate to the realm of the true path, I will definitely have a place in the lower courtyard, so I want to continue to stay. ”

Speaking of this, Mu Ansheng looked at Zhao Liqian and said: "This is what I mean when I say this to Shi Tianle, and when I say it to Sima Gong, I also say the same."

But you also have to add a few sentences, for example, 'I am in the lower courtyard, but my heart is willing to follow my uncle, uncle, as long as you have any orders, the disciple will do it immediately,' or something, so that he can believe that you are willing to take refuge in him, and you have agreed to him, then it will be fine. ”

"I'm all there is to it?"

"It's not enough for you to just say that, but after you say that, he will naturally think of asking you to go to his side and arrange for you to worship the teacher, so that he can really recognize you as their person, and that's it. ”

The next day, sure enough, Sima Gong and Shi Tianle both came to the lower courtyard to talk to Zhao Liqian. Zhao Liqian spoke according to Mu Ansheng's meaning, and sure enough, Shi Tianle left not very happily, while Sima Gong went back happily.

But he said that after Sima Gong went back, he saw his master Niu De, and said that Zhao Liqian was willing to vote for Izumo Peak, Niu De was also very happy: "Well, after all, I am the head of the house, and Zhao Liqian, this kid still has a little knowledge!"

Speaking of this, Niu De said to Sima Ran: "Xiao Ran, you personally go to the lower courtyard and ask your Senior Brother Zhao to come to see me." ”

So Sima Ran went in a hurry.

After a short time, Zhao Liqian came with Sima Ran. Sima Ran was the first to report: "Senior Ancestor, Grandfather, Senior Brother Zhao is here with me. ”

In the Ming Hall of Qi Yunfeng's upper courtyard, Niu De coughed, but there was no movement, and Sima Ran said: "Ah, Xiao Ran, your Senior Brother Zhao has arrived, then let him in." ”

Zhao Liqian followed Sima Ran into the Ming Hall, and immediately kowtowed to the head Niu De and said, "Zhao Liqian, a disciple of the lower courtyard, will visit the head of the house." ”

Niu De laughed and said, "Well, you get up and kowtow to your master." ”

Niu De's meaning is to say that he recognized Zhao Liqian as a disciple of Sima Gong. Sima Gong sat upright, waiting for Zhao Li to go forward and bow to his teacher. There was another apprentice of Niu De next to him, named Qian Yigong, who said: "Stand up, you hurry up and kowtow to Senior Brother Sima!"

While speaking, Qian Yigong raised his hand and pointed at Sima Gong, meaning to say: Zhao Liqian, he is your master.

Zhao Liqian stood up, turned to Sima Ran again, and saluted. Sima Gong waited for Zhao Liqian to kowtow nine heads, stretched out his hand to pull Zhao Liqian up, and said:

"From now on, we will be a family. Your Uncle Qian, you also knew each other before, but today, you have to give your Uncle Qian a serious kowtow. ”

So Zhao Liqian gave Qian Yigong and kowtowed.

Qian Yigong pulled up Zhao Liqian and said with a smile, "Excuse me." ”

It was inevitable that until Zhao Liqian kowtowed, Sima Gong pointed to Sima Ran and more than a dozen others, and said to Zhao Liqian:

"There are more than a dozen of your brothers, all of whom are disciples of my Sima Gong from now on, you will love each other in the future, help each other, develop yourself, strengthen our strength, and carry forward the Zixu Immortal Sword Sect!"

Zhao Liqian and the others all replied in unison: "Yes!"

Then, Sima Gong nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Before Li, I know that you have the intention to find a place in the lower court, and I will naturally support this as a teacher." Of course, your ancestor is also supportive.

Yu Mingsheng, the head of the lower courtyard, is very old, and he is dedicated to cultivation, and he has hardly done anything practical for the sect in the past hundred years; Mu Ansheng, the deputy head of the courtyard, is not offended by anyone, and no one is biased, although this is good, but there are some things that are still not very convenient for us to do.

What we have to do in the future, with you, it will be different, you have to work hard. In the future, you will strive to become the deputy head of the courtyard!"

Zhao Liqian promised, "Yes!"

Sima Ran said something more, and then, in the Ming Hall of Qi Yun's upper courtyard, a table of banquets was set up, and Niu Bijun was invited to come; Er Niu sat on the seat, Sima Gong was next to him, and among the disciples and grandchildren, only Zhao Liqian and Sima Ran sat down to serve wine.

There was nothing more to say at the table, only one was ordered, and three days later, when the auspicious time came, they all went to the Izumo Peak Izumo Upper Courtyard to hold a worship ceremony for Zhao Liqian.
