So in the following days, the three of them planted trees......

…… Not.

In the end, the matter was resolved by the breeze.

He woke up the two white-clothed servants who were unconscious, untied the money bags he was carrying and handed them down the mountain to buy peach saplings, and then took the Xi brothers and sisters back to the top of the mountain without changing their faces.

The old man of Hanya was angry and didn't want to go out, so the three of them only told him outside the door, and by the way, Xi Yulan also pressed her sister to apologize to the master. After receiving no response as expected, the silver-haired young man consciously squatted back on the edge of the cliff and continued to walk with the cold wind.

And Xi Yutang and Yue Qingfeng each crossed their legs to breathe.

Until dinner time, the old man of Hanya walked out of the bamboo house with a black face, and saw that the three of them were practicing seriously, snorted coldly, and raised his chin to Xi Yulan. The latter silently took the horse and walked into the kitchen again.

Dinner was for four people.

The brothers and sisters of the Xi family saluted the old man of Hanya first, and after getting a lukewarm snort from the other party, they pretended that the other party had agreed, and sat on both sides of Yue Qingfeng on the left and right. Throughout the whole process, the young master of the Yue family was diligently serving vegetables and soup to his sweetheart, while Xi Yutang insisted on eating without saying a word, and ate four bowls of rice without saying a word......

There was no way, she cut down the tree with a sword for almost two hours during the day, and she didn't eat lunch, she was really hungry.

At the end of the meal, the old man of Hanya couldn't help but stop and watch, Xi Yulan twitched the corners of her mouth wildly, and Yue Qingfeng looked at her with a smile, as if she couldn't see enough.

Under such onlookers, Sect Leader Xi Xiao, who could still eat the fifth bowl, became unable to swallow in the end, and put down the dishes and chopsticks silently with a stiff face.

"Are you full?" Yue Qingfeng asked with a light smile.

“…… Well. Xi Yutang nodded hesitantly, "The first time I tasted my brother's craftsmanship, it was delicious." ”

The silver-haired young man on the opposite side suddenly showed a seductive smile, "Brother will do more for you in the future." ”

"Ahem." The old man couldn't help but clear his throat.

The three of them looked up at him in unison.

"Finish eating and get out." The old man of Hanya looked at the Xi family brothers and sisters indifferently, "The tree is finished?" ”

"I have to wait for the saplings to be bought, Master don't worry." Yue Qingfeng coughed, "It's July now, and it's hard to buy peach saplings, so Master might as well wait...... Anyway, there are apprentices and senior brothers, and this Zhangfeng is not afraid of anyone trespassing. ”

The trespassers are already sitting at the same table with me to eat! Is this called trespassing?! The old man of Hanya glared at the little apprentice, "What's the matter, you have to make inches, and you still plan to live forever?" ”

"I hope Master will take it in." Yue Qingfeng stood up and saluted.

When the words fell, the Xi family brothers and sisters also hurriedly got up and leaned over respectfully.

"Don't accept it, hurry up." The old man of the cold cliff did not waver at all, "Yizhang Peak does not leave outsiders. ”

"Not an outsider, Master." Xi Yulan quietly looked at him, and then pulled her sister, "This is my sister, Xi Yutang." ”

The old man of Hanya glanced at Xi Yutang fixedly, obviously there was no coercion, but under such calm eyes, Xi Yutang still felt a lot of pressure, subconsciously straightened his body, and almost immediately, his forehead was densely covered with cold sweat, his lips gradually turned white, and the whole person was shaky.

The other two reflexively wanted to help her, but they were swept by the master's eyes, and they suddenly didn't dare to act rashly.

Just when Xi Yutang was about to fall black in front of her eyes in the next second, she suddenly bit the tip of her tongue fiercely, and the severe pain made her wake up in an instant, and the smell of blood instantly filled her mouth.

She straightened her waist, her dark eyes stubbornly faced the old man in front of her, her nails pinched her palms, her feet fixed in place like nails, saying nothing to let herself lose too ugly in this silent battle.

…… However, the gap between the two cannot be bridged by willpower.

When Xi Yutang finally couldn't withstand the pressure and passed out in a coma, it was only a few breaths away from the two of them looking at each other. Yue Qingfeng caught the person who had softened, helped her wipe the sweat from her forehead distressedly, and raised her eyes to look at her master.

The old man of Hanya lightly retracted his gaze, ignored Yue Qingfeng, and looked at Xi Yulan, who was also worried, hating iron and steel, "My sister is better than you!" Let me go and practice my sword, and I won't stop until dawn. ”

After speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left.

Xi Yulan was stunned and looked at Yue Qingfeng, "Master, is this agreed?" ”

“…… Probably. The latter is also a bit uncertain.

However, at this time, it was more important to have a sweetheart, and he picked him up horizontally and walked to another bamboo house, Yue Qingfeng said indifferently, "Senior brother, see you tomorrow morning." ”

Xi Yulan: "...... If you dare to sleep with Tang Tang, you will die, the more solemn! ”

"Don't worry, your junior brother and I are not the ones who take advantage of others."

“……”

Comatose Xi Yutang: ...... Are you talking about yourself? Are you sure?

＃＃＃

From that day on, the old man of Cold Cliff said nothing more about the three of them not leaving. I don't know if it's because I haven't seen the two apprentices for too long, I really miss it, or Xi Yutang hasn't finished planting the tree for him, in short, he turns a blind eye, except for the bamboo house when eating, most of the rest of the time stays in the house.

After Xi Yutang was in a coma all night, he learned that he was going to stay for a while, so he personally went down the mountain to inform Shen Qi and the others.

If you break the formation, you should cut down the tree!

Don't break it, don't stand it!

After staying for two days, Xi Yutang also roughly figured out the situation on Yizhang Peak. The old man of Cold Cliff does live here alone, and those few little servants in white are sent by Yue Qingfeng to send a few secret guards to run errands and cook for their master, and they do not appear on weekdays, only when the old man of Cold Cliff needs to use them, he will show up. Most of the time, the 100-year-old man enjoyed solitude, sometimes spending the whole day in the bamboo room, sometimes sitting on the edge of the cliff to practice, and when he was in the mood, he would go for a walk in the woods or hunt and eat—the last of which was left to them after the arrival of the trio.

It is located in the depths of the mountains, it is extremely difficult to go down the mountain, but the mountains are rich in species, evergreen in all seasons, and the days are also pleasant.

Since Xi Yutang came here, his heart has calmed down unconsciously, and he accompanies his brother and Yue Qingfeng every day to practice, play chess, and go into the mountains to hunt, but in five or six days, his martial arts have improved.

She was constantly adjusting her state, laying the foundation for the second half of the cultivation of the primordial level, she thought that Yizhang Peak was just an ordinary mountain, and even if she practiced, it was only similar to other places, but now it seems that she is crooked, and she has been stained with the light of the two brothers.

There is only one bad point, that is, the communication of Yizhang Peak is inconvenient, and ordinary carrier pigeons cannot fly up at all, so they can only set another location. Xi Yutang and Shen Qi agreed to deliver letters every five days, and the same was true for Qiu Yuan and Changge who stayed at the bottom of the mountain.

She is not an ignorant person, every time she delivers a letter, she will be on another mountain, and those white-clothed servants are used as messengers by Yue Qingfeng, which also saves them from running personally.

After staying for ten days in a row, Yue Qingfeng and Xi Yulan didn't say a word about the purpose of their coming, and the old man of Hanya didn't ask. Until one day, when the saplings were bought, Xi Yutang consciously took the white-clothed servants to plant trees, and was asked by his brother to go down the mountain to buy ingredients, and when there were only three masters and apprentices left on the mountain, this tacit understanding was broken.

Kneeling silently in front of the master's door, Xi Yulan said the purpose of this trip.

“…… The apprentice was desperate, so he could only come to the master and ask the master to save Tangtang's life for the sake of the apprentice's only one relative. ”

After speaking, the silver-haired young man kowtowed three times in a row.

Not far away, Yue Qingfeng collected his work and looked at it from afar, and soon, the door of the house opened, and the old man of Hanya stood in front of Xi Yulan.

"What's the matter with your skills?" He asked calmly.

"I didn't notice someone's secret tricks for a while, and most of them were abolished." Xi Yulan bowed her head.

"Where's the legs?"

“…… Bad for six years, Shen Qi cured his apprentice a few months ago. ”

At the top of Yizhang Peak, the wind was howling, there was silence, the old man of the cold cliff looked indifferently at the kneeling person in front of him, his eyes stayed on his silver hair for a long time, and suddenly looked up at Yue Qingfeng, "You are also for that girl?" ”

Yue Qingfeng knew that he couldn't escape, so he came to his senior brother's side and knelt down as well, "The apprentice begs the master to save her life." ”

The old man of the cold cliff was silent.

This was the first time his two apprentices had knelt down and begged him for someone else's sake. The last time the two knelt in front of them together, it was in order to keep themselves from chasing Xi Yulan out of the school, but they never thought that more than ten years had passed, and finally they went back to the Xi family.

Sighing deeply, the voice of the old man of the cold cliff seemed to grow old at this moment, "Say, what did that little girl do to make you beg me like this." ”

The two were silent for a long time, and Xi Yulan said, "I don't know if Master has ever heard of a practice...... It's called "Taichu Chu Method". ”

As soon as the words fell, the old man of the cold cliff turned pale, "What?!" ”

Xi Yulan's face showed a look of pain, and without saying a word, she kowtowed again, "Ask Master to save her." ”

Shock flashed in the eyes of the old man of Cold Cliff, "...... How did the girl practice that exercise? ”

"When I was seven years old, I lay in the Ten Thousand Years Ice Pit for three months." The more Qingfeng understated it. He saw that the master knew about this magic skill, so he didn't want to say more, and it was enough to point out the key points.

Just as he thought, the old man of Cold Cliff fell silent after hearing this.

He didn't speak, and the two brothers didn't dare to speak, so they knelt like this, one with red eyes, the other with an indifferent expression, time seemed to have lightened at this moment, and even the wind was much weaker.

I don't know how long it took, but the old man of Cold Cliff said calmly, "Get up." ”

Xi Yulan was stunned for a moment, and was just about to speak, when Yue Qingfeng next to her suddenly pulled the person up, just interrupting his words. He glanced at his junior brother with great blessedness, and swallowed the words back wisely.

"Say." The old man of the cold cliff looked at Yue Qingfeng meaningfully.

The latter coughed and objectively said the grievances between the Xi family and Zhuo Zhengyang in the most simplified words.

After listening, the old man did not speak for a long time.

He only accepted three people as apprentices in his life, all three of them are the best qualified people in the world, the eldest apprentice Zhuo Zhengyang has a good root, the second apprentice Xi Yulan is extremely talented, and the closed disciple Yue Qingfeng is even better than his two senior brothers, even if he praises a thousand years of rare sights, he can afford it. It's just these three people, and they all happen to be related to the Xi family.

After living in seclusion for many years, the old man of Hanya didn't care about many things, but he still remembered that when Xi Zhimiao was born, the eldest disciple who occasionally came back to visit him had really said that there were talented people in the country, and his words were full of admiration and admiration for the young man's qualifications against the sky.

However, he turned his face and killed him mercilessly.

Now, it was the time of his children.

The old man of Hanya was saddened by the fact that his eldest disciple was cheating on the surface, but in fact he was plotting the world, but he was even more distressed by the suffering that Xi Yulan had suffered over the years. What kind of demon sect is righteous, he doesn't care, when he drove Xi Yulan down the mountain, it was nothing more than to see that he had no intention of staying in Yizhang Peak anymore, and the person who was too obsessed with it in his heart, if he was blindly imprisoned, it would make him have a demonic obstacle in his heart. Unexpectedly, although his obsession has disappeared now, he has added a new weakness.

Among the three apprentices, the old man of Hanya is actually the most favorite and optimistic is Xi Yulan. Zhuo Zhengyang's ambition is too big, Yue Qingfeng seems to be out of the world, but in fact he is too thoughtful, if he really wants to choose someone to completely inherit his mantle, and can have higher pursuit and progress in martial arts, then this person must be Xi Yulan.

However, he has not been able to live up to his requirements now.

Thinking that the lively and stubborn little boy back then is now full of silver hair, the old man of Hanya said in his heart that it is false not to be angry or angry, if he is a different person, maybe he has now personally gone out of the mountain to unload that person to vent his anger for his apprentice.

But it was Zhuo Zhengyang who did it.

It's not that he can't bear it, but he can see his arrogance from Xi Yulan's expression. The grievances between the three apprentices can only be resolved by themselves, and if they interfere, it will only lead to the deterioration of the situation.

And these two boys also figured out their bottom line to make such a request that he couldn't refute.

A little angry.

I want to beat someone.

The old man of Cold Cliff is a master who is not very good-tempered and does what he wants, and most of the time his heart moves freely, so he does it.

Question: Does Master need a reason for beating his apprentice?

A: No, you don't.

Ask again: Does the apprentice dare to fight back?

Answer: If you fight back, you will be beaten again.

So, when Xi Yutang planted a tree for a day, a chicken in his left hand and a bag of rice in his right hand returned to the top of the mountain, he saw his brother and Yue Qingfeng obediently kneeling on the boulder on the edge of the cliff with a blue nose and swollen face, a bowl of water on his head, two heavy stones in his arms, and a green leaf on his lips.

Xi Yutang sneered.

Without the master to relax, neither of them dared to move, so they had to strongly condemn her with their eyes. However, Xi Yutang was not afraid of the two of them at all, seeing them killing with their eyes, he almost lay on the ground without laughing, holding his stomach and laughing breathlessly, and his faces turned black when he saw them.

However, Xi Yutang soon found out that without his brother, no one would cook tonight...... Feng Shui takes turns, and someone who had just finished laughing at them was now in the turn of being gloated by those two.

Xi Yutang finally tossed out a table of food. Compared with Yue Qingfeng, she is more down-to-earth. Isn't there a saying that the children of the poor are in charge of the house early? This is the true portrayal of the Xi family brothers and sisters.

There were only the old man of Hanya and her at the dinner table, and the old-timers were very sorry for their own daughter-in-law (?). The thing that was made was not an expression of disgust, but it was also tepid. After finishing his meal in front of the two apprentices, he suddenly looked at Xi Yutang, who was dressed in men's clothes and behaved like a woman in front of him.

"See the cliff behind those two?" He said, "There is a cave on the cliff, and there is a spring at the bottom of the cliff. The old man's expression was faint, as if he was saying the most ordinary words, "You go and clear out the things from the cave and the bottom of the cliff, and you are not allowed to ask for help." ”

Xi Yutang cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks for a moment, and looked over in surprise.

"When you clean up, when you go to retreat, stay in the cave during the day, and soak in the spring water at night." The old man got up and walked to the bamboo house, as if he thought of something, his footsteps stopped, and he didn't look back, "The tree will also be planted." ”

After speaking, the people went back to the bamboo house, leaving the stunned three people to think about it.

"What does he mean, senior?" Sect Leader Xi Xiao came back to his senses and looked at the two people who were being corporal punishment.

Xi Yulan let out a snort in his throat, Xi Yutang walked over to help him take the leaf between his lips, the former breathed a long sigh of relief, eased the stiffness of his face and spoke, "Tangtang, listen to Master." ”

"Oh." Xi Yutang is not a person who doesn't know what to do, he guessed the general story after thinking about it, gratitude appeared in his eyes, and he said, "Why do you still have to sip the leaves?" ”

Xi Yulan twitched the corners of her mouth, "Practice control zhì force." There can be no tooth marks on the leaves, and the leaves are poisonous and cannot be entered. ”

“……”

Senior, you are the master of the whole person......

Reaching out to take off the leaves between Yue Qingfeng's lips, Xi Yutang fed the two of them water with a tense face, and then took out the Qi Nourishing God Pill he brought with him and fed one by one, and then looked at the other, "Do you want to drink medicine today?" ”

"What do you say?"

“…… Then don't drink it. She tried not to let herself laugh, "Tired or not?" ”

"Tired, at least kneel until noon the day after tomorrow." Yue Qingfeng blinked, "I need Tang Tang to kiss him." ”

"The more sober you are, don't you have itchy skin?" Xi Yulan, who couldn't move on the side, stared at the void in front of him and gritted her teeth, "Tang Tang go back to sleep!" ”

I was going to do it
