Chapter 239: Perseverance

When the remnants of the setting sun completely submerged into the western world, Huang Ying, Luo Siniang, Huang Shiqi, Jin Yuanbao, and Mo Zufu were already waiting for Gao Hanshui and Shen Yifeng in the dining room.

Mo Zufu ventriloqued many times, resisted and waited, and said: "Master, master, why haven't the senior brother and the junior brother come back yet, why don't we eat first?"

Huang Ying's face turned cold, and before she could speak, Huang Shiqi preemptively said: "Third Senior Brother, you know how to eat and eat all day long, but I haven't seen you gain weight." ”

Luo Siniang smiled, and when she was about to speak, she heard Gao Hanshui's voice coming in from outside: "Master, master, we are back." ”

Soon, I saw Gao Hanshui walking in, and then, Huang Ying and the others saw Shen Yifeng.

For a while, there was silence in the stone room, and the needle drop could be heard.

The face is like a crown of jade, the eyes are like stars, and the appearance is obviously delicate, but there are two more one-word sword eyebrows, yes, in this delicate atmosphere, there is another kind of elegant and cold beauty. Fortunately, Shen Yifeng is a child who loves to laugh, otherwise, he will definitely feel like a piece of ice.

After a long time, Huang Shiqi jumped up, ran to Shen Yifeng, as if looking at a monster, looked left and right, left and right, and then pouted, squinted his apricot eyes, and said with a cute and incredible look: "Is it really a little junior brother?" After taking a shower and changing clothes, I really didn't expect it to be so good-looking. ”

Huang Ying snorted lightly and said, "A woman's family, crazy all day long, there is no difference between men and women, how can it be unified?"

Luo Siniang glared at Huang Ying, smiled at Shen Yifeng and said, "Okay, okay, Yifeng, come and sit, finish dinner, and rest early, I see that you are also tired, and your master will arrange a study course for you tomorrow." ”

"Well, thank you, Master. Shen Yifeng nodded, and sat down with Gao Hanshui.

After sitting down, Shen Yifeng looked at the fruit on the stone table, there were as many as nine kinds, and he had never seen it, he saw everyone doing it, so he was no longer polite, took a yellow, egg-shaped fruit and put it in his mouth, only a light bite, the fruit turned into a sweet liquid, slipped into his throat, it was really delicious, and his lips and teeth were fragrant.

He couldn't help but ask curiously: "Master, this fruit is really delicious, I don't know what it is called?"

Luo Siniang smiled and said: "That's the Zhi Spirit Fruit," she pointed to the other fruits on the stone table one by one and said: "This is the Spirit Ginseng Fruit, Jade Spirit Fruit, Water Spirit Fruit, Wood Spirit Fruit, ......" Seeing Shen Yifeng's puzzled expression, she smiled and said: "These are the fruits of the Spirit Fruit Trees that the ancestors of the Divine Sword Sect found from the famous rivers and mountains in various places, and after cultivation, they are formed. It is extremely helpful for cultivating the true Tao, so you should eat more. ”

Shen Yifeng suddenly let out an "oh" and said, "It turns out to be so precious." Oh, by the way, Master, don't you usually eat rice? ”

Jin Yuan had a bitter face, and said: "I used to eat it, but now no one makes it......" Seeing that Shi Niang was glaring at herself, she shrank her neck in fright, and quickly ate her own, pretending not to say anything.

Luo Siniang said to Shen Yifeng: "Zhifeng, in the past, the master used to cook for everyone to eat, but once this class of stinky cubs ate a rabbit I raised, I was angry, and I swore not to cook for them again." Will you get used to it? But you'll get used to it over time. ”

Shen Yifeng gritted his teeth when he saw his master talking, and his image changed greatly, so he hurriedly said: "No, no, it's delicious, master, don't just look at me, you eat too." ”

Luo Siniang smiled kindly, but Huang Ying snorted lightly and said, "I'm full, tomorrow, you will wait for me outside the cave." Then he got up and waved his sleeves away.

Shen Yifeng looked at Shi Niang innocently and said, "Shi Niang, doesn't the master like me?"

Huang Shiqi hurriedly said: "Okay, Legacy, don't be like my father, he likes to lose his temper the most, you can get used to it after a while." ”

Luo Siniang also smiled and said: "Yes, don't take the legacy to heart, your master is still very good, you just don't know him yet." ”

Nodding, Shen Yifeng concentrated on eating the fruit, but without a group of kung fu, the fruit on the stone table was already empty, and then he heard a sound of beating, and then, he saw Mr. Mo Zufu patting his stomach and looking at everyone innocently, asking with his eyes, "What do you think I do?" Fortunately, the big guy seemed to be used to his poor appearance, and he didn't care very much, and then Luo Siniang ordered him to clean it up, and everyone retreated.

In the middle of the moon, a ray of moonlight slouched into the stone chamber from the window.

Shen Yifeng was lying on the new futon, but he couldn't sleep, although the people here were very enthusiastic about him except for the master, but everything was unfamiliar contact, and for a while, it was still a little difficult to adapt.

He got out of bed, walked to the window, looked at the clear and cold moon in the sky, and his grandfather's face full of sores and scars appeared in his mind, but he was extremely kind, and his heart couldn't help but feel a sourness, a layer of mist filled his eyes, and he muttered in his mouth: "Grandpa, as you wish, I really entered the Divine Sword Sect, do you know? I miss you so much, I don't know if you are doing well now, do you also want to leave a ...... wind."

In the middle of the night, loneliness surged into my heart like a tide, and my nose was sour for no reason, and I was almost about to cry.

And at this moment, a faint sound of the piano slowly came from afar, soft, gentle, like water, like the sound of heaven.

Shen Yifeng was stunned, it was the first time he had heard such a beautiful piano sound. The sadness in my heart suddenly disappeared a lot, and when I listened to it, I was completely attracted by the beautiful rhythm.

When the piano stopped, he was already lying on the bed and falling asleep, really sleeping soundly and sweetly.

However, a dream in the middle of the night woke him up again. He dreamed of a sword, and the sword loomed in the dark clouds, and the resentful spirit in the sky swirled it wildly, making it seem indescribably evil. Sometimes the sky was stormy, sometimes lightning and thunder, and all living beings and all souls fell one by one under this evil vision, and the rivers were bloody, and the earth wept......

"Ahh With an exclamation, Shen Yifeng sat up suddenly, staring at his eyes, and cold sweat on his forehead.

When I woke up in the middle of the night, the moon was still bright.

Patting his chest, he muttered, "So I'm dreaming." He closed his eyes again and lay down on the bed, but he could not sleep again.

......

A round of red sun rises in the east, gently caressing sleepless people.

It's dawn, outside the fairy cave.

Early in the morning, Gao Hanshui, Jin Yuanbao, Mo Zugao, Huang Shiqi, and Shen Yifeng stood in a long row outside the Immortal Cave, and opposite them was their master and sister.

Luo Siniang looked at everyone, and then her eyes fixed on Shen Yifeng, and she asked with concern: "Yifeng, what's wrong with you, you don't have a good rest last night?"

Shen Yifeng said: "The disciple is fine, thank you for your concern." ”

Huang Ying glanced at him and said, "Okay, the morning meeting will start." ”

Huang Shiqi half-squinted her eyes and pouted: "Daddy, I haven't had a morning meeting for several years, why did you suddenly ...... today?"

Huang Ying glared at her daughter and said very seriously: "From today onwards, the morning meeting will continue, otherwise, some people will think that I deliberately did not teach my disciple well, so that he will lose unconvinced." ”

Huang Shiqi spit out her tongue and said with a smile: "Daddy is really competitive." ”

"Hmph, what do you know about your child's family, don't mess around. Huang Ying taught her daughter a few words, and then said in a deep voice: "You all listen to me, from today onwards, we have another disciple in the Immortal Cave, and many chores in the future should also be adjusted accordingly." After finishing speaking, he said lightly: "Legacy, in the future, you will be responsible for picking fruits and cleaning the fairy cave." ”

Huang Shiqi was about to open his mouth to hold grievances for Shen Zhifeng, but Shen Zhifeng had already spoken first and said, "Yes, master." ”

Nodding, Huang Ying said again: "Our cultivation realm pays attention to strengthening the body and soul first, then cultivating the true yuan, and then getting started, I will let a few of your senior brothers slowly talk to you about this." From this day on, you will first practice your physique. He pointed to a large well about ten zhang on the right side of the Immortal Cave, and said: "In the morning, you have to pick up five loads of water from the Nine Heavens Waterfall and pour it into the well, and in the afternoon you will read and read with your master, and in the evening, your senior brother will explain to you some relevant things in the cultivation realm at present." ”

Shen Yifeng's face was stunned, and before he could speak, Huang Shiqi said unhappily: "Five loads of water? Daddy, you ...... Aren't you embarrassed? Look at his bones, how can it be...... Moreover, why do you have to run so far to carry water?"

Huang Ying snorted angrily and said: "I just see that his body is too weak, so I have strengthened my training, and you are really getting less and less big and small." ”

Huang Shiqi is naughty and naughty, but her father rarely really murders her, at this time, when she saw her father coming to the real fire, she was so frightened that she shrank her neck, but she still said back: "Daddy, you are just too ......"

Huang Ying was about to get angry, but he heard Shen Yifeng say: "Master, don't blame the senior sister, the legacy will do the same." ”

Huang Ying sneered indifferently, and then said: "Okay, from today onwards, several of you disciples need to force practice, seven years later, it will be the true martial arts competition once every twenty years in the three palaces and one cave of my sect, my cave has been ranked last in six consecutive realms, Han Shui is the oldest, with me the longest, you have probably participated in the four realms, and you also know the situation of my cave, I hope you will redouble your efforts, at least don't fall to the end, do you have confidence?"

"Yes. ”

Although the answer was loud, it was only one person's voice, and what Huang Ying never expected was that the owner of this voice turned out to be a new disciple Shen Yifeng.

Shen Yifeng couldn't help but smile embarrassedly when he saw that everyone was looking at him like a monster. At this time, his senior brother Gao Hanshui, second senior brother Jin Yuanbao, third senior brother Mo Zufu, and fourth senior sister Huang Shiqi couldn't hold it back, and laughed at the same time, as if they had never heard such a funny joke again.

Huang Ying was furious and shouted angrily: "Presumptuous, what are you laughing at? It's really disappointing to me." The remnant wind answered very well, even he had confidence, why are you so discouraged?"

"Yes, master......" Everyone lowered their heads in unison, not daring to face Huang Ying's angry eyes, but from time to time, there were still people who couldn't hold back and laughed.

Huang Ying snorted coldly again and said, "A bunch of waste." Meeting. Han Shui was temporarily in charge of supervising the operation of the relics. He waved his sleeves and left.

After Huang Ying left, Luo Siniang's mother and daughter laughed together.

Luo Siniang said: "Okay, okay, although your master is more strict today, but to put it mildly, it is also for your good, although I don't have much hope for a real martial arts competition once in twenty years, but you practice your skills well, and you are also responsible for yourself, now, just listen to your master's words and go to practice separately." ”

Nodding, Shen Yifeng and the others didn't say anything more, and at that moment, a few people dispersed. From the fairy cave to the Nine Heavens Waterfall, the road is ten miles long, this time and once, it is twenty miles of road, and the task of five loads of water allows Shen Yifeng to pick it up until it gets dark and only completes two loads.

The next day, Shen Zhifeng was extremely sore, and he only picked a load, all his muscles were strained, and he rested for several days, during which Huang Shiqi came to accompany him every day, told him stories, comforted him, etc., making him feel very warm.

It is worth mentioning that in the middle of the night, when the moon rises in the sky, Shen Yifeng can always hear bursts of piano sounds coming from afar, which makes him feel curious and obsessed. Regarding the origin of the sound of the piano, who cared for it, he also asked his senior sister and several senior brothers, but they didn't know, they only knew that it came from the direction of Jade Girl Peak.

On the ninth day, Shen Yifeng started the task of carrying water again, and after picking two loads, he couldn't do it anymore.

After that, Shen Yifeng picked up 'two loads' of water for ten consecutive days, but at this time, Huang Ying no longer showed mercy, and gave him a lesson in kneeling stones, kneeling for a whole hour, after getting up, Shen Yifeng was already unstable on his feet, but he still gritted his teeth, insisted on the task of carrying water, and added an extra load of water.

On this day, when the moon was in the middle of the sky, Shen Yifeng barely finished picking up the third load of water, but he was so tired that he fainted and fell to the ground, which can be regarded as frightened by his senior sister Huang Shiqi, and she has been waiting by his bedside and crying.

"Ahh With an exclamation, Shen Yifeng seemed to have another nightmare.

Seeing Shen Yifeng wake up, Huang Shiqi immediately grabbed his hand and said with concern: "Senior brother, what's wrong with you?"

As soon as Shen Yifeng opened his eyes, he saw Huang Shiqi with pear blossoms and rain on his face, he was startled, and asked urgently: "Senior sister, why are you crying?"

Seeing his anxious appearance, Huang Shiqi couldn't help but burst into tears and laughed, she said: "What a little fool, I'm not scared by you." ”

"Huh?" Shen Yifeng grabbed Huang Shiqi's jade hand tightly and exclaimed, "Why did I scare Senior Sister?"

Huang Shiqi's face was red, and she said, "I don't tell you, I'm really a little fool." ”

"Ahem, Qi'er, pay attention to your image, you're a girl. While the two were chatting, they suddenly saw Luo Siniang walking in. Behind her is her husband Huang Ying. Huang Ying snorted coldly and did not speak.

Shen Yifeng hurriedly withdrew his hand and said timidly: "I have seen the master and the master." I wanted to get out of bed to see him, but Huang Shiqi held him down and didn't let him get out of bed, Huang Shiqi pouted, glared at Huang Ying and said, "Daddy, look, it's all you who caused it." ”

Huang Ying's face turned cold, and he said: "I can't bear this bit of hardship, so what else do you want to cultivate? It's better to go down the mountain quickly, where to come and go." ”

Huang Shiqi's face changed, and the tears that had just stopped rolled down again, and said, "Daddy, what are you talking about? ”

Huang Ying snorted coldly, turned around and left, and his voice came from afar: "Continue tomorrow, if you can't insist, leave by yourself." ”

Huang Shiqi's heart was wronged, and her tears flowed more urgently, Shen Yifeng was about to reach out to help her wipe away her tears, but at this time, Luo Siniang had already taken Huang Shiqi's hand, she sighed and said, "Okay, okay, Qi'er, don't cry, your father's temper is like this, you just don't have a few words with him." Then he smiled kindly at Shen Yifeng and said, "Zhifeng, don't be sad, your master is also good for you." Good boy, just stick with it for a while. ”

"Hmm. Shen Yifeng nodded and said, "Master Xie, the disciple understands." ”

On the second day, Shen Zhifeng, who was sore all over his body, only picked up three loads of water, and the sky was completely dark, under the angry reprimand of the master Huang Ying, he insisted on picking up the moon and the middle of the sky, and finally picked up an extra load, and fell on the bed, although he was very tired, but he couldn't sleep, and now he has become timid......

In the middle of the night, Huang Shiqi came to Shen Zhifeng's room, sat in front of his bed, stroked his sleeping face distressedly, exhaled like an orchid, and said: "Yifeng, it's all because my father is not good, and I blame my father, he is dead...... Legacy, senior sister, I can have such a little junior brother as you, it's good, hehe, I can care about you, I feel very happy, I really hope you can keep going, don't be forced out of Mount Tai by your father...... Otherwise, Senior Sister will become very bored again......" She sat for a while, muttering a lot of words by herself, and then quietly left again.

After Huang Shiqi left, Shen Yifeng actually opened his eyes, and it turned out that he had not fallen asleep.

The moonlight outside the window is like water, sprinkled lightly in front of the bed, and an inexplicable sadness wells up in my heart.

In fact, after this period of inhuman training, he couldn't hold on anymore, he had already planned to leave, but now, he suddenly found that he couldn't leave his senior sister, so he told himself: "I want to insist, I want to persevere, I must persevere......"

After this night, whenever Shen Yifeng felt that he was dying, he would think of what his senior sister said to him, and those words turned into his motivation again and again, making him persist with an inhuman willpower.

Time flies, time flies.

In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.

At this time, Shen Yifeng was already able to pick up ten loads of water before dark.

This is the beginning of an early morning, as usual, Huang Ying and Luo Siniang waited outside the cave early for the disciples who came to have a morning meeting, when everyone arrived, Huang Ying explained some things to the disciples, and then looked at Shen Yifeng with an indifferent face, and said: "Yifeng, from tomorrow, you don't have to carry water anymore, your senior brother will teach you to practice the primary method of cultivating the truth, I hope you can study well, don't live up to the expectations of the master and the master for you." ”

Shen Yifeng's face was overjoyed, and he looked extremely excited, and said, "Master, is it true?

Glancing lightly at this disciple who didn't like him, Huang Ying only said, "Break up." Then he turned and walked away.

Luo Siniang gave Shen Yifeng a reassuring look, and followed.

After Huang Shiqi waited for her parents to leave, she immediately rushed to Shen Zhifeng, put her arm on his shoulder and "giggled" and said, "Zhifeng, congratulations, continue to work hard, senior sister will cheer you up." ”

Shen Yifeng looked at Senior Sister affectionately and said, "Senior Sister, thank you, without you, I ......"

Jin Yuanbao said: "Little junior brother, senior brother also congratulates you." ”

When Shen Yifeng was in the middle of selfless affection, he was suddenly disturbed, and he couldn't help but be very embarrassed, smiled, and said, "Thank you, Second Senior Brother." ”

At this time, Mo Zufu and Gao Hanshui also congratulated each other, and as soon as they disturbed them, Shen Yifeng had no choice but to start the task of carrying water on the last day.

On this day, when the sun was still setting, he completed his task early, and then found Gao Hanshui and asked him to teach him to practice the primary method in advance.

Gao Hanshui took out a two-foot square white jade stone and said, "Little junior brother, this is a spiritual jade stone, in addition to containing spiritual energy itself, it can also help cultivators condense spiritual energy more quickly. It's a pity that this jade is the worst white jade, and the effect is not very obvious, but for you as a beginner, it is still of some use, so I will give it to you. You sit on it and cultivate. At that moment, the white jade stone was placed flat on the ground.

"Thank you so much, brother. Shen Yifeng walked over as he said, learned the posture of the senior brothers on weekdays, and sat cross-legged.

Then he asked curiously: "Senior brother, how to distinguish the quality of this jade?"

Gao Hanshui smiled and said, "It's very good, the greener the better." ”

Shen Yifeng nodded and said, "No matter what, I still have to thank Senior Brother." ”

Gao Hanshui laughed and said, "Between our brothers and sisters, what are you doing so politely." Okay, let me first explain to you the basic knowledge about the distribution of the meridians and the operation of true qi in the human body, you listen carefully, you must remember it carefully, you know?"

"Got it, big brother. ”

Gao Hanshui nodded, and at that moment, he explained in detail.

Shen Yifeng listened very carefully, and it took about two hours, and he could almost memorize it by heart.

Gao Hanshui asked Shen Yifeng to read it by heart, then nodded with satisfaction and said, "Little junior brother's memory is really amazing, senior brother, I used to memorize this, but it took me three days." ”

Shen Yifeng smiled and didn't say anything.

Gao Hanshui said: "Work hard. ”

Shen Yifeng let out a light "um" and said, "Got it, senior brother." ”

Gao Hanshui smiled slightly, and said: "Our Divine Sword Sect's Three Palaces and One Cave, although it belongs to our Immortal Cave is the most slight, but the master once said that although our Divine Thunder Technique is more difficult to cultivate, once the cultivation is successful, it is more domineering than the other Three Palaces' Techniques." ”

Shen Yifeng was a little excited, and said, "Then senior brother, teach me quickly." ”

Gao Hanshui laughed a few times and said, "Little junior brother, you are really anxious, listen well." Our Divine Sword Sect has three palaces and one cave, although each has different exercises, but the mental method is the same, and the mental method we practice is 'Qiankun Wuji', it can also be said that this is the foundation of our Divine Sword Sect. ”

Shen Yifeng nodded as if he didn't understand, but didn't speak.

Gao Hanshui continued: "There are three realms of Qiankun Wuji, namely 'Qianzhi Realm', 'Kun Realm' and 'Wuji Realm', but don't look at it, it only has three realms, but it has been carefully studied and strengthened by the ancestors of the past dynasties.

When Shen Yifeng heard this, he looked excited and said, "It's so powerful." ”

Gao Hanshui was a little proud, and said, "That's not it, junior brother, you must cultivate with your heart." ”

Shen Yifeng nodded and said, "Senior brother, what realm have you reached now?"

Gao Hanshui's face turned red, he looked a little embarrassed, coughed lightly, and said, "I am now at the sixth layer of the Dry Realm. However, over the past generations, countless disciples of this sect have spent their entire lives under the fifth layer of the Dry Realm. ”

Shen Yifeng smiled strangely and said, "That senior brother is also so powerful." Hehe, by the way, what is the realm of the master and a few uncles?"

Gao Hanshui: "The master and several masters are all outstanding talents of our Divine Sword Sect, the master's realm has reached the fifth layer of the Kun realm, and the master of the master seems to have reached the seventh layer of the Kun realm, it is said that he is the most outstanding talent of our Divine Sword Sect in the past five hundred years." The other two uncles are not much different from the master. ”

Shen Yifeng nodded as if he didn't understand, and said, "Then no one has reached the Infinite Realm?"
