The words say:

Angry and hateful, Chongxiao knocked down the Shangqing Palace. Frightened people should be avoided, and the ground is pierced through the clouds like madness.

Within the Three Realms, among the Five Elements, Jin Shengli Water flows to the east. The heart is like not moving, and a little rock lies in the evening breeze.

- Proposed "Partridge Heaven".

Not to mention that the two parties competed for Zhao Liqian, an excellent disciple of the lower court, and said that Zhang Asheng left the provincial cliff, returned to the Xianyun Intermediate Courtyard with a belly of joy, came to see Master Gongsun Fu, and after kowtowing, Zhang Asheng stood up.

The sixteen-year-old boy, although he is very thin, still likes his appearance. Gongsun Fu asked lightly, "Ah Sheng, have you passed on the sleeping skills I taught you to others?"

When Zhang Asheng heard this, his joy turned into a belly of shock!

Zhang Asheng immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty to the master: "Master, the disciple is at fault, please punish the master!"

"Hmm, why do you want Master to punish you?"

"The disciple transferred the sleeping exercise to Senior Brother Zhao Liqian in the lower courtyard! However, Senior Brother Zhao said that he is also your disciple. ”

When Gongsun Fu heard this, he was secretly angry in his heart: This Zhao Liqian actually leaked his relationship with me to Zhang Asheng without permission! This is not good, and he must be reprimanded well!

As for Zhang Asheng, when he saw that his master's face sank, he only thought that he was going to be punished, so he quickly kowtowed and said, "Master, the disciple knows that he is wrong." ”

Gongsun Fu didn't want to say: "Ah Sheng, it seems that you are still too young, and there are some things that you still don't understand! ”

So Zhang Asheng began to tell how he had cultivated on the provincial cliff for three years. It was a full two hours.

In fact, Zhang Asheng didn't say it, Gongsun Fu also knew about it, after all, there was a red-nosed Mu Ansheng who was delivering news to Gongsun Fu.

However, Gongsun Fu still wanted Zhang Asheng to speak by himself, and while Zhang Asheng was talking, Gongsun Fu was listening carefully.

People say that "it is better to be able to speak than to be able to listen", Zhang Asheng finished speaking, and Gongsun Fu's judgment came out: it should be said that Zhang Asheng's performance was not bad, except for teaching Zhao Liqian the sleeping skill without the master's permission, there was indeed no fault in other aspects.

Moreover, in terms of cultivation, Zhang Asheng has now learned the Nine-Story Building Exercises, although this exercise is very rubbish in the eyes of Gongsun Fu, but when combined with the sleeping exercises, Zhang Asheng has been greatly improved in the realm of the acquired martial arts.

Now Zhang Asheng's strength is already quite the strength of the sixth or seventh order of the acquired martial arts, and it is even stronger than the disciples of Sima Ran and Yuan Hu who have not been aggrieved.

Gongsun Fu thought about it for a while, and then said to Zhang Asheng: "Asheng, your performance in the past three years, except for the mistake of casually passing on the exercises to others without the permission of the master, you have done okay in other aspects. Especially in terms of cultivation, I am quite satisfied with the progress I have made.

As for refining the alchemy and the way of the formation, although you have not practiced it, you remember the theoretical knowledge very well, and you have also made some progress in understanding, which is also very rare. As for learning the piano, it is mainly for you to cultivate your mind and cultivate your mind, so that you can effectively prevent you from going mad.

In the future, if you're lucky, maybe this will also lay a good foundation for learning sonic attack techniques. ”

When Zhang Asheng heard this, he was very grateful: How thoughtful Master is for me!

Zhang Asheng was about to say something of thanks, but Gongsun Fu's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Asheng, what I told you below, you have to remember it, but you can't show it to outsiders!"

Zhang Asheng knew that what the master said next must be very important, so he immediately listened carefully with bated breath. It turned out that Gongsun Fu was talking about the infighting of his own faction.

Gongsun Fu said: "...... Since the death of your master ancestor immortal, Niu De has been the head of this sect, and after he was promoted to governor Yong as the great elder, he actually left the position of the second elder vacant.

The three elders and the four elders cannot be promoted, and my status in the sect cannot be further as a teacher, and I cannot be the elders of my own sect. I can't be an elder, and I can't really form my own factional power in my faction—

They actually conspired to suppress me! Therefore, I seriously suspect that your master was murdered by their conspiracy! It's just that I can't find any evidence and can't settle accounts with them.

The four of them, but they were divided into two groups, Niu De and Niu Bijun were a group, and the governor Yong Shizhen and his group, they suddenly went down to Zixu Mountain three years ago, and they disappeared for half a year, and after half a year, they came back together.

After they came back, at that time, there was a great trend of mountain rain coming and the wind was full of buildings! As a teacher, I hoped that they would fight, but who knew that it was dense clouds and no rain!

Because of this, as a teacher, I have to be careful at all times, to prevent them from doing it to me, paralyzing me, and then suddenly moving and destroying me!

You don't know, although the Third Elder is a seventh-order True Dao cultivator on the surface, in fact, his strength has already advanced to the eighth order of the True Dao, close to the ninth order. Compared to your master and my cultivation realm, it is only high, not low!

Not only Shi Zhen is like this, but Niu De and Niu Bijun, as well as that Governor Yong, are actually close to the ninth order of the true path, but they all only show the strength of the eighth order of the true path!

Think about it, who are they pretending to be? Within this sect, apart from the four of them, who have reached the eighth level of True Path cultivation, there is only one me!"

Zhang Asheng is sixteen years old, although the past three years are equivalent to growing up in a state of isolation, but the honesty of his heart does not mean that he is stupid. At this time, Zhang Asheng understood a little more: "Master, do you mean that they are all doing it for you?"

Gongsun Fu nodded, and then said: "They are pretending to be pigs and eating tigers, and they want to eat them, isn't it me? Think about it, if it weren't for the ghosts in their hearts, the four of them were uncles, why did they join forces to deal with me, a nephew? So, what ghosts do they have in their hearts? What is it that makes them have ghosts in their hearts?"

Zhang Asheng had already understood the basis of Master's guess at this time, so he continued: "Master, the only thing that can make them all have ghosts in their hearts is the murder of the master. Only if the four of them join forces to kill the ancestor, will they be very jealous of you, so they will join forces to suppress you!"

"It seems that you haven't eaten in vain in the past few years. Gongsun Fu smiled with satisfaction:

"Ah Sheng, three years ago, I didn't teach you much fist and foot kung fu, nor did I teach you the nine-story building exercises that my disciples often practice, so that you can focus on learning swordsmanship and sleeping skills, just to think in the long run, and not to let you behave too eye-catching, which will cause trouble. I don't know if your trouble is really unexpected!"

Zhang Asheng was a little ashamed when he heard this.

Gongsun Fu said again: "That's already in the past. I still have seven years to become a teacher before I am qualified to participate in the affairs of the faction - in my opinion, I am afraid that they will not let me wait until that day, and it is very likely that they will partner again and attack me in advance!"

Zhang Asheng's eyes widened when he heard this: They are going to attack the master? This is too vicious, right?

Gongsun Fu looked at the expression on Zhang Asheng's face and said playfully:

"When I passed by your house and chose you to be my disciple, in fact, the place I went to was not far from your house, I went to find out the truth of the matter, and to find evidence that they collaborated to kill your ancestor!

Although I don't have enough evidence in my hands now, I can already be sure that they did the death of your ancestor!

They seemed to sense that I was looking for evidence, so they suppressed me more and more. I have barely left Zixu Mountain in the past three or four years, because you are in the Provincial Cliff, and if I leave, it is very likely that they will secretly harm you, because everyone knows that you are my disciple, and you are quite talented in cultivation!"

When Zhang Asheng heard this, he said, "Master, I've troubled you. But, Master, why did they kill Master?"

"Well, in the final analysis, it's the meritorious family of the True Dao Immortal Kingdom, and it wants to get involved in the Immortal Cultivation Sect. Our Zixu Immortal Sword Sect, the originator of the mountain, is my great-grandfather Gongsun Wuyi, he was originally a mining slave, but fortunately, he cultivated and founded the Zixu Immortal Sword Sect.

When my grandfather was in charge of the sect, Niu De, Niu Bijun, Governor Yong, and Shi Zhen joined the sect and became my grandfather's four disciples. My father, with the four of them, is a disciple of the same teacher, a close brother.

After my grandfather ascended, it was natural for my father to be the head of the sect. Obviously, the four of them were unwilling and wanted to seize the position of head of the sect and make our Void Immortal Sword Sect completely become part of their family power!

The surname Niu is from the Niu family in Funiu County, and the surname Shi is from Mirage, and the Shi family is now the city lord of Mirage! It's a pity that the Niu family and the Shi family have become rivals, so they didn't join forces to destroy me at the first time!"

When Zhang Asheng heard this, he was stunned from the bottom of his heart: obediently, it turns out that the bigwigs of this faction are so evil-hearted!

Zhang Asheng couldn't help but ask, "Master, since this is the case, what should we do?"

"What should I do? Now that you have returned to my Xianyun Intermediate Courtyard, you must first work hard to cultivate, and you will go to my Xianyun Mountain to cultivate in the future, and don't come back if you have nothing to do." I ask you-"

Hearing the word "request", Zhang Asheng immediately stood up and stood upright.

Gongsun Fu said: "From this year onwards, in the first five years, I will only allow you to cultivate, and you will not be allowed to participate in anything else, and strive to cultivate to the Acquired Martial Dao Eighth-Order Bigu Realm!"

In the sixth and seventh years, you have to go to the lower courtyard of the mountain gate to participate in the examination, and you must achieve excellent results, otherwise, although you are my personal disciple, you cannot be selected as an elite disciple of this sect, then at the end of the ten years, you will be driven down the mountain, and the relationship between you and me as a master and apprentice will come to an end. ”

"Master, why do you ask for this? I heard Senior Brother Zhao say that those boys in the lower courtyard will never be driven down the mountain for the rest of their lives. ”

"This is the rule of this sect, elite disciples, not just anyone can be it. Even if it is that Sima Ran, don't look at him as Niu De's descendant and grandson, Sima Gong's own nephew, if he can't become an elite disciple within ten years, he will be driven down the mountain!

As for the disciples in the lower courtyard you mentioned, they can not be driven away for the rest of their lives, they are just a lifelong sprinkler boy in this sect, and their status and situation are slightly better than being coolies.

Boys like you, Sima Ran, and Yuan Hu, if they really stay and don't leave, they will be in the same position as the boys. ”

Zhang Asheng said: "Master, I understand. ”

"It's good to understand. After you go to the back mountain to cultivate, I will go down the mountain again to find evidence. If you encounter any confusion in cultivation, you can ask Mu Ansheng from the lower courtyard if you have the opportunity, and if you don't have a chance, wait for the opportunity, but there is one point, you must not take the initiative to go to the lower courtyard to find him. Remember?"

"Remember, Master!" Zhang Asheng replied loudly.
