The words say:

The spring breeze blows the heron, sits on a low stool, and leans on a tall tree. The ups and downs of the seven stars are a few degrees, the rod sinks and people are happy, the eyebrows fly and dance, and the sun is in love.

Fish and dragons are at ease, and it is difficult to cross the bait and greedy for incense. After entering the red dust, he was mistaken: fame and fortune, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and countless sorrows.

-- Proposed "Qingyu Case".

Master has already commanded: Sit down and meditate for two hours.

So Zhang Asheng obediently entered the inner room, took the futon, and when he sat down, he felt that the wound was really painful, so he wanted to "sleep".

There is no bed in the house here, and the futon is not a sleeping object, but there is a clean ground, Zhang Asheng had to lie on his side, lie on the ground, adjust his breathing, and silently recite the sleeping tips:

Lie on your side and bend your knees on your right, and rest your hips lightly on the right side of the pillow. The bottom of the tongue and the palate sink into the sea, and the eyes are closed and there is no desire to forget the sky.

Lying down quietly at this time, he felt the pain of the sword wound in his left shoulder more clearly, Zhang Asheng gritted his teeth and held back and wanted to sit still, but he was afraid that the pain would not decrease, it was better to sleep, so Zhang Asheng "slept"-

Now Zhang Asheng has already understood that this kind of sleep is actually a cultivation technique taught by the master!

You can also practice in your sleep, and this exercise is really good! This exercise makes Zhang Asheng like it very much.

On the side of Xianyun Intermediate Court, Gongsun Fu treated Zhang Asheng's injuries, and in forty-nine days, he had to teach Zhang Asheng the knowledge of alchemy, refining, tripod making, as well as the five elements of yin and yang and the way of formations, so he was naturally very busy.

On the Izumo Peak and Moyun Peak over there, there are different situations.

On the side of Izumo Peak, the head Niu De and the fourth elder Niu Bijun had a secret talk.

Niu Bijun said thoughtfully: "More than half a year ago, I heard that Gongsun Fu accepted a twelve-year-old doll as a disciple, I thought that the child was too old and missed the best opportunity to cultivate, and it was not suitable for cultivation, but I didn't expect that Gongsun Fu, this child, actually picked a treasure!"

"Isn't it, the performance of the little mad dog is really unexpected. Niu De took over and agreed with Niu Bijun's opinion.

Seeing that the head of Niu De recognized his statement, Niu Bijun leaned his body towards Niu De, leaned closer, and said gloomily:

"Although he has picked a treasure, in my opinion, now that his relationship with Governor Yong and Shi Zhen is even more stiff! I want to see how Gongsun Fu will deal with Governor Yong and Shi Zhen after Zhang Xiaomad Dog grows up!"

"Confused! Looking at Zhang Xiao's mad dog's performance today, I'm afraid that when he grows up, he will be even more powerful than Gongsun Fu; at that time, he joined forces with his master and apprentice, although he posed a threat to Governor Yong and Shi Zhen, but it would also pose a threat to us!

The Zixu Immortal Sword Sect is currently dividing the world between us and Governor Yong and Shi Zhen, and we must not indulge the power of Gongsun Fu to sit big and form a situation of dividing the world in this faction!"

"So, what are we going to do with Gongsun Fu?"

The air in the house was a little dull for a while, but outside the house, below the mountainside, the cicada noise forest became quieter, and here it was almost at the top of the mountain, and it seemed that the birdsong mountain was more secluded.

It's a pity that a broken cicada flew out of nowhere, and shamelessly stretched out its voice and shouted: I know, I know——。

Let's not talk about Qi Yunfeng's affairs, let's go back and talk about Moyun Peak.

The Great Elder and the Third Elder of the Zixu Sword Sect were also secretly discussing. In the Moyun Upper Courtyard of Moyun Peak, in the Ming Hall, all the disciples avoided each other, and the Great Elder and the Third Elder sat opposite each other in dense clouds and rain.

The Great Elder was angry, because Zhou Shaozhu was not only his nephew of the lay family, but also equivalent to his disciple grandson in the Zixu Immortal Sword Sect.

Of course, Shi Zhen is also equally annoyed, because in terms of the relationship within the master, Zhou Shaozhu is not only the disciple of his apprentice Shi Tianle, but in terms of secular kinship, Zhou Shaozhu's mother, Shi Shi, is Shi Zhen's own niece!

Governor Yong was annoyed, and Shi Zhen said: "Senior brother, although we have different surnames, we are like a family, not to mention that he is not only your nephew, but also my grandson." ”

Governor Yongdao: "Yes. In terms of the generations of teachers, we are brothers, and in terms of secular generations, although my surname is Zhou and your surname is Shi, in fact, my father is also a historian of Mirage, you should call him uncle, and you and I are also brothers.

Speaking of spoon Zhu, he, like me, is both a state family member and a Shi family. ”

The third elder took over and said, "Yes, it's a pity that he died too unjustly, hey——!"

Governor Yong sighed: "Now that the Truth Immortal Kingdom is mirage, our state has long since declined, if it is still the same as back then, ah, how good it would be......"

"Senior brother, the past is over, it is irretrievable, fortunately, our Shi family is thriving, you and our Shi family are originally a family, if you have anything to do in the world, I will help you go back, you can still help." ”

"Hmm. The Great Elder snorted, and then said: "Gongsun Fu, this old mad dog's cultivation is no worse than you and me, and he is very vigilant, so it is not easy to attack him, but Zhang Xiao Mad Dog is not even a second or third order of martial arts, so I don't believe that I can't kill him!"

When the third elder heard this, his eyes were also fierce: "Senior brother, otherwise, I will ask the monks of the secular family to take action and destroy Gongsun Fu!"

When the Great Elder heard this, he smiled bitterly and said, "We can't do this for the time being, Niu De and Niu Bijun are looking at us to kill Gongsun Fu!"

How can we do the thing of 'praying mantis catching cicadas' and let him 'yellow finches behind' and pick up ready-made cheap? Not to mention keeping Gongsun Fu just to buffer the contradiction between us and the surname Niu!"

"Senior brother is right, but Spoon Zhu's death, this revenge must not be avenged! Or, let's find a chance to be a little mad dog surnamed Zhang?"

"It's not time to kill that little mad dog now—if he is killed, others will immediately suspect that we did it, do you understand?

"What then?"

"What should we do? Not only can we not touch him now, but we must protect him!"

"Ah, we can't do it to Gongsun Lao Mad Dog, and we can't do it to Zhang Xiao Mad Dog, is it possible, won't this revenge be avenged?"

"It's not that I don't report it! Now that the power of our state is weakened, the people are not prosperous, and it is rare that there is such a talented and intelligent person as Spoon Zhu in the descendants, but unfortunately he was harmed by Zhang Xiao's mad dog, how can I let this matter go?!"

When the third elder heard this, he couldn't help but take over: "Senior brother, if you don't let him go, and you can't get rid of him, how can you repay this revenge? ”

"How to get revenge? However, there is one point, forty-nine days later, it will be the day when Zhang Xiao's mad dog will be punished on the cliff of Izumo Peak Province - from now on, we must be more careful, prevent him from being harmed by the surname Niu, and blame us!"

"If Zhang Xiao's mad dog dies at the foot of the provincial cliff, the responsibility should be borne by Niu De, what are we afraid of?" the three elders did not understand.

The Great Elder frowned and said: "It stands to reason that Zhang Xiao's mad dog died under the provincial cliff, and Niu De and them should be held responsible, but don't forget, now it is Niu De who is in charge, and in this faction, their power is greater than ours, and Niu De's voice is greater than ours, do you understand?"

The three elders still couldn't fully understand.

The Great Elder had to patiently explain further: "After Niu De became the head of the family, in order to silence others, he had to promote me to be the Great Elder. But he won't leave, he won't move to Izumo Peak, so I can't move to Qiyun Peak, do you understand the mystery here?"

When the Third Elder heard this, he said angrily: "Isn't it just to suppress our brothers! I should have been promoted to the Second Elder a long time ago, and if he is like this, I can only be the Third Elder, and I can't be promoted!"

Governor Yong shook his head: "Think about it again, who else has you suppressed? The fourth elder Niu Bijun is clearly a person of Niu De, why didn't he promote Niu Bijun to be the third elder? Does he even want to suppress Niu Bijun?"

When the third elder heard this, he suddenly realized, raised his hand and patted his thigh: "Senior brother, when you say this today, I understand!"

Niu Bijun's promotion to the rank of Third Elder is not much different from being the Fourth Elder, but if Niu Bijun continues to be the Fourth Elder, this will block Gongsun Fu's path! If Gongsun Fu cannot be promoted to Elder, then he will never be able to form his own power in his own faction!"

"Yes, because of this, I acquiesced to Niu De's practice that day. Senior brother, you won't be angry with me because of this, will you?"

"Where, senior brother, I always thought that Niu De didn't announce me as the second elder in order to suppress the two of us, how did I know that you also acquiesced to him doing this? Now I know, but as soon as I hear you understand the Tao here, how can I blame you, senior brother!"

When the governor heard this, he smiled slightly, and then said his thoughts:

"Senior brother, Niu Bijun is willing to be the fourth elder, and never mentions leaving Wangyun Peak and living in Yiyun Peak, I expect that he has already been instructed by Niu De.

The reason why I never pointed this out to you before, and why you expressed your dissatisfaction with Niu De, was to deceive Niu De and make him mistakenly think that I had been deceived by him—this old cow cub is very conceited. ”

The third elder nodded: "Senior brother, you still think about it for the long term!"

"At present, our Zixu Sword Sect is that we share the country equally with Niu De and them, of course, we can't allow Gongsun Fu to sit big, so that in the future, we will divide the world with us!

Therefore, Gongsun Fu and them are a key to maintaining the balance of power between us and Niu De. I don't want the appearance of Zhang Xiao's mad dog to probably upset this balance, which is also a key point for me to consider. ”

When the third elder heard this, he asked with a somewhat gloomy expression, "Senior brother, what should I do about this matter?"

"If our state family is still as prosperous as it was at the beginning, I can find many helpers in one sentence, thoroughly find out the origin of Zhang Xiao's mad dog, and solve him from the root, even if he can't die, he will not be able to cultivate immortals, live in pain, and survive for a lifetime!"

When the third elder heard this, he slapped his thigh again: "Senior brother is right! Let's not move him on the surface! On the contrary, we must protect him, so as not to take the blame for Niu De and them! However, we can start to kill him Zhang Xiao Mad Dog from the root, which is equivalent to cutting off the right hand of Gongsun Lao Mad Dog!"

"Well, that's what I imagined, but we still don't know the roots of Zhang Xiao's mad dog, and I'm afraid that in the end of the investigation, there is nothing to use in Zhang Xiao's roots. ”

The third elder gritted his teeth and said: "Check, find out his roots and feet, even if there is nothing to use, you have to check! Senior brother, your state family does not have many manpower, but when it comes to secular families, our Shi family is a big family!"

However, he said that Zhang Asheng, according to the master's request, went to rest for two hours and practiced the "sleeping technique", but although he had taken medicine, how could the wound be effective in a moment or three? Pain was inevitable, and it was impossible to really fall asleep, and all that was possible was just to use it to cultivate, use the true qi of the martial arts dantian, and work hard to repair the wound.

Zhang Asheng felt that the pain of the wound had weakened, but he felt that his ears were hot!

Zhang Asheng remembered that his grandmother said that if his ears are hot, someone is talking about himself!

Zhang Asheng couldn't help but be distracted in his heart: Is Sister Ah Xia talking about me? Or are the uncles and ancestors over there scolding me? Well, Grandma said that whoever reads me well will live until he is old, and whoever nagged me badly will die quickly.

This distraction, the painful feeling of being suppressed by luck with true qi and will, can't help but be a little stronger.

Zhang Asheng couldn't help but groan softly: "Ouch." ”

At this moment, the master shouted, "Get up, the two hours have come!" Come on, come, I'll teach you the way of the Yin and Yang Five Elements Formation again." ”
