In the past, Hongyuan got up early and the first thing he did when he came to the Fengyao Sect was to clean the climbing ladder. However, now that it is winter, it is getting colder and colder, especially late at night, and many disciples do not want to go out at night, and most of them have prepared night pots. In this way, the first thing to do in the morning is to clean up the night pot of the senior disciples, and the second thing is to clean the mountain ladder.

The number of high-level disciples is the smallest among the three types of disciples, and there are dozens or hundreds of them. And there are nearly 1,000 steps of climbing ladders, and neither of these things is an easy errand, and it is not uncommon for you to be busy and not be able to eat.

But that's how he comes every day.

After sweeping the ladder, it is some irregular chores such as carrying water, washing vegetables, cooking, washing dishes, washing clothes, and sweeping the yard.

In short, the senior disciple is the young master, who is responsible for playing and cultivating, and occasionally goes down the mountain to practice. The gray-clothed disciples and the Tsing Yi disciples also worked and cultivated, and they were always covered in ...... Worked.

Hongyuan is a universal sticker, where he needs to be posted, he has to work, he has to be angry, he has to be scolded, he has to be beaten, and he can be called and drunk by the elders in charge and down to the gray-clothed disciples, and he is very busy every day.

Children can't play two corners by themselves, and they can only sweep the ladder after pouring the night pot.

So Fang Qi probed his brain, found that Hongyuan was gone, turned his feet, and walked in the direction of the mountain road.

Fang Qi has never been to the front mountain, along the road to the top of the mountain road to take a look down, the mountain road on both sides of the bluestone forest, green grass, and the mountain ladder is high and steep, the inclination is very strong, about 50 degrees down, such a mountain road if you run fast when you go down the mountain, basically like jumping off the building.

But that's it, it adds a bit of mystery to Fengyao Mountain, and it is quite a bit of a fairy wind bone.

Because it had to be cleaned every day, there was a broom under the tree on the mountain road, and Fang Qi came over with the broom, and took the little platypus out of his sleeve and put it aside, so as not to fly it out when he swept the floor.

The little platypus staggered to its feet with a grass in its arms, its eyelids drooping listlessly.

"What's the matter?" Fang Qi looked down at it strangely, he had been in no energy since last night, he thought it would be better to rest for a while, but he didn't expect that the night would pass, but it would be even more wilting.

The little platypus snorted weakly, grabbed Fang Qi's trouser leg and climbed up, riding on his neck.

Fang Qi patted its buttocks, began to sweep the floor, swept more than ten levels of Fang Qi and began to curse the street.

Except for the enrollment of students, few people from the Feng Yao Sect came up, and it took a lot of effort to go up and down, and the disciples on the mountain would not run down the mountain if they were fine. In addition, there are trees and grass on both sides of the mountain road, and there are no shacks on both sides and on the mountain road, how can there be no deciduous grass clippings in the wilderness? Even if you sweep the mountain ladder all day long, and the top is swept clean, a gust of wind blows over, and the leaves fly wildly, isn't it still the same as if you didn't sweep it?

Therefore, the elders of the Feng Yao faction were so panicked that they let people sweep the mountain ladder, and they swept every day. It is clear that it is tormenting people.

Yesterday there was a strong wind, and there were not many fallen leaves on the mountain road, so Fang Qi quickly hurled a broom on the ground, sweeping fast. Originally, I was standing on it to sweep, and I found that my neck was low and my neck hurt, and the mountain steps were very high, which was not very convenient. After a third of the square, he stood at the bottom, sweeping and backwards, faster than before.

He was bent on surprising Hongyuan, and when the child came, he found that he had already swept it, and the child could take advantage of this time to take a sneak break. After sweeping a half, the little platypus cooed and nervously strangled his neck, Fang Qi looked up and saw that his heart almost didn't jump out!

This mountain is very high, the first step is about twenty centimeters high, and it is very steep, he has to be very careful at the bottom of the first order. Hongyuan ran down from the top, and the little man stepped four or five steps in one step, almost as if he was flying!

Seeing him coming quickly, Fang Qi subconsciously opened his legs and opened his arms, afraid that he would accidentally step on the air and roll down, ready to continue at any time.

Hongyuan stopped two or three meters in front of him, a head taller than him, and Fang Qi looked at him with a broomstick, waiting for praise.

Hongyuan was not angry, and asked in a deep voice, "Why are you here?"

Fang Qi: "......"

The tone of this question has several meanings...... He didn't do anything wrong.

There was no one up and down the mountain, only the two of them looked at each other, and Fang Qi said depressedly: "There is no one here." ”

Who would have nothing to do and go down the mountain to find trouble?

Hongyuan ignored him, he hadn't let him do any heavy work since he was in the back mountain, how could he be willing to let him sweep such a long mountain road when he came to the front mountain?

The child did not say a word, but walked down in three steps and two steps, snatched the broom from his hand, and said without any emotion, "You go up." ”

Fang Qi's face was a little green, and his hot face was attached to a cold ass.

After speaking, the child looked around, put on an expression of not knowing him, and then continued to sweep the mountain road, the child's speed was much faster than Fang Qi, and it didn't take long to walk out dozens of meters away.

Looking up uneasily, the man was still standing in place, not going up the mountain or following him down, glaring at him with a stinky face, a little aggrieved.

Hongyuan looked at him distractedly, knowing that it was out of place, but his heart was still soft.

Fang Qi was gritting his teeth and getting angry, Hongyuan walked up with his hands behind his back, Fang Qi thought that he was looking for trouble again, rolled his eyes and was not angry, and preemptively said: "This road is not your home, don't pick me up, don't go with me." ”

Hongyuan chuckled, as if laughing at his childlike nature, and said, "Stretch out your hand." ”

Fang Qi snorted, looking at him for some reason, the child scooped his hand from his side, unfolded his palm, and put a handful of small fruits the size of orange dates.

Fang Qi: "???"

Hongyuan said: "Wait for me here, I'll be back after eating." ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for him to answer, trotted back, swept the floor while retreating, the broom made it handy, from left to right, from right to left, a dragon-like bend down, Fang Qi has not yet come back, the child has long been gone.

Fang Qi looked at the fruit in his hand, hehe, he smiled, his eyes were gone==

Hongyuan really deserves to be a veteran of sweeping the mountains, Fang Qi sat on the steps and gnawed on the fruit, this fruit is sweet and silky, and it is very delicious. Fang Qi was greedy and stingy, and it tasted good, so he was a little reluctant to eat it, and he wanted to take more as reserve food and keep it for later. I got up and looked around, looking at where the child had picked the fruit, and I turned around the grass for a long time, but I couldn't find it.

Not on the ground, is it in the sky? Fang Qi looked up in wonder, good guy, isn't it in the sky, a big tree on the side of the road leads to the sky, and there are many small orange fruits hanging on it. The trunk of the big tree was bare, and Fang Qi looked under the tree for a long time, but he couldn't figure out how the child climbed it.

After a while, Hongyuan came back with a broom.

Fang Qi's heart hung in the air and swayed, watching the child go up and down the ladder quickly and urgently, others have short calves, often on the ladder of four or five steps, I am afraid that the child splits the fork is not as far as those steps, at first glance I thought that his feet did not touch the ground and flew up.

It was up and down again, and the child ran back and forth, still blushing and panting in front of him.

Fang Qi pursed his lips, a little red-eyed, thinking that he had lived in the deep mountains and old forests for more than three months, and he still had to rest from time to time when he was sweeping the mountains, and then compared with Hongyuan, he couldn't help but sigh......

Shame!

The two walked up the mountain together, Fang Qi ate a fruit by himself, and stuffed it into the child's mouth, Hongyuan opened his mouth to catch it, and did not chew it in his mouth, and after a while, he took out a handful of fruit from his arms, spit it out and mixed it indiscriminately, and pulled Fang Qi's hand.

Fang Qi's eyes lit up when he saw the fruit, so he happily took it and ate it with a click.

Hongyuan looked at his bulging cheeks, and his eyebrows were dyed with a smile.

One big and one small went up the mountain, but the small one was faster than the big one, Hongyuan deliberately controlled the speed to keep pace with him, and it took half an hour to reach the mountain.

When I went up the mountain, there were disciples of the Feng Yao Sect everywhere, and they had to pretend not to know each other. Fang Qi sighed, but he didn't feel too depressed because of this, he thought that he could only see it at night, but he didn't expect that he could also watch the child when he came out to sweep the mountain during the day, which was enough to be regarded as an unexpected surprise.

The two stopped, and Fang Qi hesitated: "You go up first." ”

Maybe you'll be able to catch up with dinner.

Hongyuan has a lot of things, and everything he does in the front mountain is done by running to save time.

And as a new third-rank disciple, no one would pay much attention to him, and he had much more time.

After Fang Qi finished speaking, he looked at Hongyuan, and the child stood motionless.

Fang Qi's brain began to hurt when he saw his expression, speaking of which Hongyuan was very determined at a young age, he didn't know how he did it, patient and calm, whenever the two disagreed, they confronted each other with silence, and it was him who couldn't hold his breath every time!

Later, Fang Qi didn't bother to compare with him......

Now there is a stalemate, no one will let anyone, I don't know how long it will take, Fang Qi said: "I'll go first, I'll go first, you be careful." ”

Hongyuan nodded.

This place is only more than 500 meters away from the mountain, Hongyuan stared at his back, Fang Qi hugged the little platypus up the mountain, and it didn't take long to reach the main gate.

Holding his knees to slow down, he then raised his head, Fang Qi was alarmed, and he saw more than ten middle-aged people standing in front of him, their faces were a little familiar, they were the few high-level disciples brought by Qingfeng today!

Why is it here?

The meaning is self-evident!

Fang Qi was stunned, instinctively wanting to turn around and give a warning to Hongyuan, but half of his body paused and turned back.

No way......

No, he will only make things worse if he does this, Hongyuan will come up sooner or later, what's the use of delaying it for a while and a half!

Fang Qi silently walked into the distance, and the disciples glanced at him, revealing a thick sense of ill will.

Fang Qi stabbed into a pile of gray-clothed disciples, squatting on the ground and pretending to work, his eyes constantly sweeping over there.

I thought that there was an incident with Qiu Ling Chen Guan, Fengyao Mountain was in a mess, everyone was in danger, in such a depressing and dull situation, it was difficult to protect themselves, who would have the heart to trouble others?

But he was wrong.

The more pressure there is, the more you need to vent, and Hongyuan is almost a live target now!

The qualifications of the disciples of Feng Yao Mountain are generally poor, and if they can cultivate to a high level of discipleship, and enter the Dao period, they are all boiled out of the years, and the age is generally not young, with such a group of senior brothers, no wonder Qiu Ling has long eyes on the top of her head.

Fang Qi felt as uncomfortable and irritable as a cat scratching a dog gnawing in his heart, and he hated that time would not stand still, and Hongyuan would never come out!

A moment later, a short figure appeared in the distance.

When the child saw the more than ten high-level disciples, his face did not change at all, and he was already surprised, and his expression was very calm and calm.

Hongyuan put the broom aside, quietly glanced around, and saw Fang Qi standing under the root of the tree pulling weeds, and paused.

Fang Qi glared at Hongyuan, how could he sit still, he remembered to blow himself up, and the gray-clothed disciple who was tied with him at this time suddenly jumped and said: "Look at it!

"Are you coming?" the other gray-clothed disciples looked up, their eyes were almost shining, and they said excitedly: "Hurry!

"I'm not late, I'll see, who is it this time? Oh, Senior Brother Qingtong, they. ”

"Senior Brother Qingtong doesn't like to use things, so it's okay to start fighting directly, it's not interesting. ”

"Yes, alas, it's a pity that Senior Sister Qiu Ling is gone, she only calls it a good look when she beats people!

"Senior Sister Qiuling's sisters, I love to see Senior Brother Xuanwen more, last time I saw Senior Brother Xuanwen They pressed the little mongrel in the water for most of the day and didn't let it out, you don't know, I drank a stomach full of water, and the little mongrel also had a big life, so I didn't die, I only vomited water for a long time, haha!"

"What are you? I remember that Senior Brother Xuanlin and Senior Brother Qinggui brought two jumps of mad dogs from nowhere! That time it was called fresh, and the bite made our waste brother covered in blood, and half of his ears were open! But you are right, our waste brother's life is really big, I watched him lie on the ground for a long time, thinking he was dead, but he didn't die like this! Look at him, did his ears grow back?"

……

In a moment's effort, the original more than 20 gray-clothed disciples suddenly increased to hundreds, and the Tsing Yi disciples, gray-clothed disciples, and a few high-level disciples were densely packed in a circle, chatting and laughing happily.

On the other side, two senior disciples kicked him in the back first, and the child rushed forward a few steps and fell to the ground, and then the two of them carried the child's body and escorted him towards Senior Brother Qingtong.

The child just arrived, Qingtong sat firmly on the boulder, and suddenly kicked from the bottom to the top, hitting him in the chin! The child's head was kicked high, followed by another kick in the chest!

That Senior Brother Qingtong is a burly middle-aged man with great strength! Hongyuan coughed dryly, and the child was directly kicked out by him for several meters!

Hongyuan lay on the ground without saying a word, quietly wiped the corners of his mouth, and there was a large patch of blood on the back of his hand. He didn't resist, he didn't scream, he looked like a submissive bag.

But Fang Qi knew that he was not really afraid and cowardly, and only if he didn't resist, they would feel bored and end up as much as possible.

"Look at the genius of our Feng Yao faction! Half Moon Entering the Dao, it's really amazing!" Qingtong got up from the stone, squatted down to Hongyuan's side, and looked at him with a cruel smile: "The genius was beaten and vomited blood, I am really guilty." ”

Qing Gui stepped on the thin fingers on the ground and ran back and forth, "Look at his dog appearance, where does he look like a genius? This face is full of hair, are you human? Hmm? Are you a human or a dog? Only the face of a beast will have hair." People are not ghosts, they are not as good as dogs!"

Qingtong saw that he was silent, and the anger in his heart jumped up, pulling his hair to force him to raise his head, and almost roared: "Scream! Why don't you scream? Who do you show this face to? Little bastard, why don't you scream?!"

As he spoke, his voice became softer and softer, as if he felt very puzzled, and said to Qinggui: "It's strange, why doesn't he scream." Senior brother, why don't you say he is called?"

Qinggui stood up and said, "Why else, maybe it's because it doesn't hurt enough." ”

Qinggui bent down to look at the child and said with a smile: "You don't need to cultivate today, the senior brothers are idle, you don't mind helping them relieve their boredom, right?"

After saying that, he didn't expect him to respond, and stepped aside, and then the muffled sound of his fist falling on the flesh wound was heard, mixed with the sound of someone laughing.

Fang Qi closed his eyes and couldn't bear to look at it again, his nails pierced deep into his palms, which was already the extreme he could accept, and a strong sense of powerlessness hit him, making him dizzy.

At this time, the disciples behind him complained one after another.

"Senior Brother Qingtong is really boring, it's not good-looking, and he left. ”

"Yes, it's a bit of a guy, and I want the little bastard to be called, such a Cheng dù little mongrel can't be called, he is very angry. ”

"It's not good-looking, Senior Brother Qingtong's hands are soft, it's not as good as Senior Sister Qiuling...... It's a pity. ”

"Alas, gone, gone, can you go?"

"Of course let's go, I think in fact, when it comes to beating people, Senior Brother Qingtong's mouth is monotonous, not as many as Senior Brother Xuanlin. In the future, if you are still Senior Brother Qingtong, don't call me as soon as possible, it's really boring. ”

"That's right! In exchange for these few tricks, there is not even a new trick, Senior Brother Qingtong is really not as good as Senior Brother Xuanlin and Senior Sister Qiuling, it's boring. ”

Fang Qi listened to their comments, and every word was tantamount to adding fuel to the fire! With a breath in his chest and nowhere to attack, he gasped with difficulty, almost crushing his teeth!

Brutes! These brutes! are all brutes!

Is there a normal person here......?! Is there any other one who is human?!

Fang Qi kept taking deep breaths, and Hongyuan's advice flashed repeatedly in his mind not to expose their relationship...... Be confidential......

But he really couldn't bear it!

Fang Qi suddenly stood up from the ground, rushed forward with blood-red eyes, and yelled: "Stop!"

No one has ever come out for the little bastard, and his roar on the ground has really calmed people.

Fang Qi took a deep breath, ran over and pushed the disciples away, squeezed in from the crowd, and protected Hongyuan under him like an old hen protecting a chicken.

After protecting the person, Fang Qi didn't dare to raise his head again, as if he was a human protective suit, and he wanted to protect Hongyuan to the death.

At this time, Qinggui touched his chin and said, "You really know each other." ”

Fang Qi raised his head when he heard this, looking at him in surprise, Hongyuan propped up his body, pushed Fang Qi away, pulled the person behind him, and looked at Qing Gui vigilantly, his eyes were cold and vicious, like a highly poisonous snake.

Seeing this, Qing Gui seemed to be stunned, he had never seen a little mongrel show such an expression, like a fierce god and evil ghost crawling out of the cracks of hell. But then he laughed and said, "The little bastard has changed his face, it's a pity that Senior Brother Xuanlin is not here, otherwise he would be happy to see your expression!"

Hongyuan was silent, looking at him with a gloomy face, and the temperature under his eyes dropped to the extreme in an instant.

Qinggui said to Fang Qi: "I heard that you were brought by Qiu Ling's junior sister from the back mountain? I guess you must know this waste, and now I see that I guessed correctly, and the relationship seems to be very good." ”

Qing Gui and Qing Tong seemed to have discovered something interesting, and showed extremely sinister smiles. The life and bones of this waste are extremely hard, and he is always knifed on weekdays, in addition to making him hurt, he can't be beaten to death. And he has nothing, except for beating and scolding, there is no other trick at all.

Right now...... This waste has a soft underbelly, it's simply providential. When the time comes, it will definitely be fresher and more fun not to attack him, to attack his weakness, and let him watch how important people die painfully and slowly.

It's just a pity that now is not the time.

Qingtong clapped his hands and said, "Let's come back this time, by the way, we have only made two moves with the genius you." The head of the family personally ordered to meet this ...... Little junior brother, let's go, now, don't rub it off. ”

Fang Qi was stunned, "Call me?"

Hongyuan nervously shook his hand.

Fang Qi hurriedly patted the back of the child's hand, signaling him to be calm, and then looked around vigilantly, embattled, with no hope of escaping at all, it was really a person who had to bow his head under the eaves.

Fang Qi stuffed the soft little platypus to Hongyuan, and whispered in the child's ear: "I'm fine, I'll be back in a while, you wait for me." Fang Qi put a small fruit in his hand again, trying to pretend to be relaxed, "Don't be afraid, don't think about it, it's not your fault." Actually, it's good, we don't have to hide and hide like a relationship, now that the matter has been exposed, I can accompany you openly in the future. ”

Qingtong couldn't wait to implement his new idea, but he couldn't start until he saw the master, and couldn't help but say impatiently: "Did you finish?!

Why didn't you say you wasted your time when you hit someone just now?!

Fang Qi suppressed his dissatisfaction, kissed the child's face, and before he could continue to speak, he was rudely pulled from the ground, and before he could stand firmly, he was pushed and walked forward.

Fang Qi staggered a few steps before he stood firm, and when he looked back at Hongyuan again, there were people behind him, and he didn't see anything.

Race all the way.

Fang Qi followed the disciples to the main hall of the Feng Yao Sect soon, the main hall was extraordinary, with four vermilion pillars thick with buckets in the hall, and various patterns of fierce beasts on the wall. The atmosphere in the hall was solemn, and on the high seats above were three old men and a middle-aged man.

The one sitting in the first seat is undoubtedly the head of the Feng Yao Sect, and the other one I have seen this morning is Elder Qingfeng. The middle-aged man sitting next to him looked grief-stricken, thinking that it was Qiu Ling's father, Elder Qiu. The last one, the short and fat old man with an expressionless face, is the Xuan Elder who starts with the Xuan character.

Qingtong lowered his head and said, "Head, elder." People brought. ”

Fang Qi looked down at the row of people kneeling beside him. Those few disciples in Tsing Yi looked at each other indifferently, and it seemed that they had only seen them this morning, and the other gray-clothed disciple who was trembling was the little disciple assigned by Qiu Ling yesterday to take him to sign up.

The head said, "Is it this person?"

The little disciple glanced at him quickly and said quickly, "Yes, it's him!"

The head squinted his eyes, quite mighty, and reprimanded: "You see clearly?!"

The little disciple nodded heavily, and said, "No, I won't admit my mistake......! I really don't know anything!"

Another disciple in Tsing Yi also pleaded: "Master, it's not that a few of us didn't report it, Senior Sister Qiu Ling confessed...... Let's talk about this matter first, and when you and the other two elders get out of the customs, we will say it in public! We don't dare to disobey Senior Sister Qiu Ling, and we really didn't expect this kind of thing to happen!"

Hearing his daughter's name, Elder Qiu looked at Fang Qi angrily and scolded, "You are the one brought back by Ling'er?!"

Fang Qi knew that the comer was not good when he saw this posture, and he was thinking about how to get out in his heart, and nodded hesitantly.

Qingfeng said: "Master, this person can't stay!"

Elder Qiu immediately echoed: "That's right! If this person is not removed, it will only cause greater trouble! There are five people who went to Houshan and six people who came back, why is there one more person? We still don't know where Houshan is?!"

This person is a ghost from Fengyao Mountain, so naturally he can't stay. But even if he was really an ordinary person, five of the six died, and one of them was his own daughter......! How could he swallow this breath?! Since there was an accident, since someone could live, why wasn't it Qiu Ling, but him?!

The head of the sect was also jealous, and said with a staring face: "Then in the opinion of the elders, how should this person be handled?"

Several people glanced at each other and said vigorously: "Where did you come from, you will naturally be sent back to the back mountain!"

*****

When Fang Qi woke up, the back of his head seemed to be pricked with a thousand needles, and his eyes were dark, without any light.

He slowed down for a while before remembering that in the main hall of the Feng Yao Sect, the head of the sect and the elders had reached an agreement to send him back to the back mountain. Before he could think about what this meant, he felt a sharp dull pain in the back of his neck, and then he lost consciousness.

So......

Is he now back in the back mountain of Fengyao Mountain?

When I went to the main hall, it was already morning, but the day had passed.

Where is Hongyuan?

Fang Qi thought for a few seconds, this is too dark, today is the thirteenth lunar calendar, almost the fifteenth full moon, but there is no moonlight at all.

Cloudy?

Fang Qi had a splitting headache, he pinched the corner of his forehead, and while curling his hand, his elbow seemed to touch something.

Fang Qi was stunned, thinking about something, moved his hands and feet, and found that something was wrong after a slow half-beat.

It's not cloudy......

He raised his hand and touched it, and it was a hard thing. Fang Qi was stunned, and continued to grope in disbelief, that's right, it's flat and neat, a little rough...... Is this a plank?

Where is this?

He touched it, and then left and right, front and back, were all planks...... It's all planks.

Fang Qi's whole body stiffened, his breathing was rapid, and in an instant, an extremely terrifying conjecture flashed into his mind, startling him into a cold sweat.

Why is this rectangular thing...... Why......

Like a coffin?!
