At night, Chi Yan lived in the disciple's room. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Duan Muya tossed and turned but always couldn't sleep, thinking of everything that happened today, he still couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, but from time to time there would be a trace of uneasiness in his heart, although it was a moment, he always felt a little chilling.
Why is there any anxiety?
Duan Muya got up and walked out of the residence, only to see the moon hanging in the sky, but it was dim, and the red flame grass was also a piece of black pressure swaying with the breeze, no different from ordinary green grass. Duan Muya walked into the grass, found a stone and sat down. At night, there was silence in the mountains, except for the occasional chirping of insects.
"Who is it?" A woman's voice was Senior Sister Xuanqi, Duan Muya slowly got up.
"It's me, senior sister. Duan Muya said.
A figure appeared in front of him, in the dim moonlight, like a fairy, "Oh, it's the little junior brother, you don't rest so late, are you not used to living in this mountain?" Liu Xuanqi said softly.
Duan Muya said: "I always feel a little restless, so I came out for a walk, breathe, Senior Sister Lao was worried." ”
Liu Xuanqi frowned lightly: "I am restless, but why?"
Duan Muya shook his head slightly and said, "Xu is the first time he arrived in Chiyanju, and he is a little unaccustomed to it, which makes the senior sister smile. ”
Liu Xuanqi said: "It's okay, it's normal for people to be a newcomer, it's normal for people to be a little unaccustomed to living, the night in this mountain is cold, the junior brother has just recovered from his injury, it is better to rest early, not to mention that tomorrow I will go with the master to see the master in charge, and I want to cheer up a little more energy." ”
Duan Muya nodded and said, "Thank you Senior Sister for your concern, then Muya will go back to rest." Then he turned and left.
"Little junior brother and slow. Liu Xuanqi said.
Duan Muya was stunned for a moment, then stopped and said, "Senior sister, do you still have orders?"
Liu Xuanqi pondered for a moment and said, "Little junior brother, is your hometown in the dense forests of southern Xinjiang?"
Duan Muya's body was shocked, and he asked anxiously: "Why did Senior Sister say this, didn't she find out where my hometown is?"
Liu Xuanqi said: "That's not true, but the eagles that came with you that day seemed to be flying from the south, so I just guessed it." ”
Duan Muya's expression darkened and said: "So that's the case, but my hometown is in the deep mountains and dense forests, maybe it's the southern Xinjiang dense forest that my senior sister said." ”
Liu Xuanqi said: "In the future, the junior brother will definitely find his hometown, it is getting late, the junior brother should rest early, and I will also go back to the room." ”
Duan Muya nodded and said, "Congratulations to Senior Sister." ”
Liu Xuanqi nodded in return and walked back to his room, leaving Duan Muya alone and melancholy.
"Is the Southern Xinjiang Jungle that Senior Sister said really my hometown?" Duan Muya muttered to himself, with a wry smile, he didn't even know where his hometown was. And after thinking about it, he was saved by the master by chance, and thanks to the master's refusal to give up, and accepted himself as a closed disciple, Duan Muya couldn't help but smile and said in a low voice: "Hey, fate, fate." ”
Early in the morning, Chiyanju lived
On Chiyanju Square, Le Sheng and Duan Muya had been standing for a long time.
"I still think this sunrise is the most spectacular, the morning sun and this red flame grass reflect each other, such as the fire burning the sky, this scene is unique in the world, wonderful, wonderful. Le Sheng smiled, as if the hundred years had not made him a little bored with this strange scene.
It was the first time Duan Muya had seen such a strange world, and he was fascinated for a while.
The two stood side by side, two oblique shadows reflected in the morning sun.
Le Sheng saw that Duan Muya was fascinated, and said with a smile: "Muya, it's time for us to set off for the Burning Heaven Palace, after all, it would be rude to let the senior brother wait too long." ”
Duan Muya nodded slowly, as if he was still immersed in this human wonder and couldn't extricate himself.
A flash of light soared into the sky, and Le Sheng flew in the direction of the Burning Heaven Hall with Duan Muya. In the middle of the night, the two of them landed in front of the Burning Heaven Temple Square, and in an instant, hundreds of disciples gathered around and asked Le Sheng for peace.
All the disciples said in unison, "The disciple has seen Elder Yilu. ”
Le Sheng smiled slightly, as if he had a lot of face, on the other hand, Duan Muya, who had not seen much of the world, was surprised, since he went up the mountain, he had never seen such a posture, and he thought that the Burning Heaven Temple was also "inaccessible" like Chiyanju.
Le Sheng waved his hand slightly in return, and then pulled Duan Muya to the main hall, along the way, there were disciples of Xuanhuo Palace to ask Le Sheng for peace, and some seemed to be older than Le Sheng, Duan Muya couldn't help but be puzzled.
After thinking for a moment, it seemed that he couldn't hold back any longer, Duan Muya asked, "Master, how can there be so many senior brothers in this Burning Heaven Palace?"
Le Sheng's eyes widened and said, "Hmph, are you laughing at my Chiyan Ju with few people?"
Duan Muya hurriedly said: "The disciple doesn't dare, it's just that some of the senior brothers in this senior brother are afraid that their age is not light, and the disciple has doubts in his heart, so he asks this." ”
Seeing that what he said just now frightened this little disciple, Le Sheng's face softened, and he said slowly: "You don't know, our three elders of the Precepts, Lingtong, and Yilu have always only watched the high-eyed disciples, these ordinary disciples who came to seek the Tao were all taught by the senior brother in charge and the senior brother in charge of the Gong, and the next elder in charge of my Xuanhuo Palace and the elder in the Gonggong will also be selected among them, so this Burning Heaven Hall has always been the most prosperous. ”
Duan Muya nodded and said, "No wonder we only have Senior Sister Xuanqi and Senior Brother Luo Xin in Chiyanju, so that's the case." ”
Le Sheng's face was unhappy, and he gently slapped Duan Muya on the shoulder and said, "Hmph, you rebel, what do you mean that there are only Xuanqi and Luo Xin, do you still have me as a master in your eyes!"
Although Le Sheng's palm did not add strength, he also bounced Duan Muya to the ground, and saw Duan Muya sitting on the ground with a wry smile on his face, afraid that he would never dare to offend this irritable master in the future.
Duan Muya got up slowly, shook the dirt on his body, and said, "The apprentice has no disrespect, master........"
Le Sheng waved his hand and said: "Forget it, as soon as I got started, I frequently displeased my teacher." ”
Duan Muya seemed to have any questions, but he didn't dare to ask them for a while.
Seeing this, Le Sheng shook his head and said, "If you have something to ask, don't wait until you enter the Burning Heaven Hall later and ask what you want to say, which will displease the master brother." ”
Duan Muya nodded awkwardly and said, "Master, the apprentice just wants to ask, among so many senior brothers, there are only two who can be the head of the sect and the elder, so what should the others do?"
Le Sheng said: "You have thought it through, most of those senior brothers and disciples who are strong in Taoism and can't teach are the protectors of my Xuanhuo Palace, and those senior brothers and disciples who are not good in Taoism have either passed away or gone down the mountain on their own, but there are more than a dozen senior brothers in our generation who have been the protectors of my Xuanhuo Palace, but all of them stay in Senior Brother Litong's Sword Guarding Pavilion, and it is difficult to see each other on weekdays." ”
Duan Muya said: "Disciple understands, my Xuanhuo Palace has been created for thousands of years, and I have comprehensive etiquette, so Mu Ya has asked a lot." ”
Le Sheng saw that Duan Muya looked pious, so he couldn't reprimand anything.
The two of them walked to the front of the Burning Heaven Palace, only to hear a deep voice from the hall: "Is it Brother Yi? ”
Le Sheng smiled slightly, and said to Duan Muya: "Mu Ya, when you see Senior Brother Zhang, remember to tell the truth, don't hide anything, Senior Brother is as wise as a torch, and he usually dislikes others to lie to him, can you remember?"
Duan Muya showed a hint of nervousness on his face and nodded yes. But I was very uneasy in my heart, I don't know what kind of person this master is, and can he tolerate an orphan like me who is of unknown origin, Duan Muya frowned, and followed his master Le Sheng into the Burning Heaven Palace.
If it is said that this Chiyan Residence is a small building in the mountains, and it has a unique style, then the Burning Heaven Palace is like a fairy palace for Duan Muya, with carved beams and painted columns, and it is extremely magnificent. At this time in the main hall, Duan Muya faintly felt that it was difficult to breathe normally. Looking up, the middle-aged Daoist sitting in front of him should be the master of the master, Bo Liyan, but who is the middle-aged person sitting on this side? Duan Muya couldn't help but have doubts.
Le Sheng took a step forward and said, "Senior Brother Lao has been waiting for a long time, but I don't want Senior Brother Li Tong to have Yaxing come here to talk about it." ”
Duan Muya was taken aback, the middle-aged man sitting on this side was actually the most strict ring-guarding elder in the Xuanhuo Palace, Master Li Tong, thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel that his vest was cold, and he seemed to have some bad premonitions.
Le Sheng saw that Duan Muya was in a daze alone, and coughed lightly: "Muya, why are you so unruly, haven't you seen the two uncles soon?"
Duan Muya seemed to suddenly come back to his senses, and hurriedly said: "The disciple has seen the master in charge and the master of the precepts, and the disciple is nervous for a while and has lost his manners, so I ask the master to forgive me." ”
Liyan Zhenren smiled slightly, as if he was not angry with Duan Muya, and said loudly: "It's okay, you can rest assured, I and your precept keeper only have some trivial matters to inquire, so you don't have to be so nervous." ”
Li Tong next to him said with a serious face: "If you don't do bad things, what kind of nervousness can you talk about, you don't have to make this gesture." ”
In just two sentences, Duan Muya also had his own impression of the two masters. The master must be amiable, and as for the precept-keeper, he is as strict as the rumors.
Unexpectedly, at this time, the master beside him suddenly snorted coldly and said: "At a young age, I have scruples when I see such a scene, but Senior Brother Li Tong thinks too much, and it is as if my little apprentice has done something wrong." ”
Liyan Zhenren hurriedly interjected: "Two junior brothers, in front of the juniors, don't lose your dignity." ”
When the two of them saw their senior brother speak, they naturally didn't dare to say much, but their eyes were filled with a strong smell of gunpowder. Duan Muya suddenly remembered that the master was also unhappy when he talked about Uncle Li Tong that day, and it seemed that there was indeed some incompatibility between the two.
Seeing that the two of them were silent, Liyan Zhenren shook his head slightly and said, "Child, I have a few things to ask you." ”
Duan Muya was shocked, but he didn't expect the master to ask him directly, and hurriedly replied: "Even if the master asks, the disciple must know everything." ”
Liyan Zhenren smiled: "Okay, okay, you can tell your name and life experience with your precept keeper." ”
Duan Muya thought for a moment when he heard this, and almost told the things that he had remembered since he was a child, but before he knew it, he still hadn't finished talking after half an hour, and he was a little embarrassed to listen to Lesheng.
Le Sheng patted Duan Muya and said: "Okay Muya, two senior brothers, I think you also know that this child has lost his father since he was a child, and recently lost his mother, and now he is homeless, I am determined to take him in as my closed disciple, and I hope that the senior brothers will be successful." ”
Seeing that Li Tong was full of displeasure, Liyan Zhenren glanced at Le Sheng, and Le Sheng also understood, so he said: "Mu Ya, you go and wait outside the hall, I still have some things to discuss with the two senior brothers, and it will be inconvenient for you to stay here." ”
Duan Muya was already smart and clever, and it should be no big deal when he saw that the master wanted to go out and wait by himself, so he respectfully bowed to the two uncles and the master, and walked out of the Burning Heaven Palace.
