The elder brother stood and muttered for a moment. Then he shouted, "Suyi! ”

Immediately, a middle-aged man in his forties stepped forward and said respectfully, "Master." ”

The senior brother said to him, "Take your senior uncle to Xinyun Peak." The residence of the new disciples. He said to Liu Xiaohua again: "I want to pick six people out of the mountain." You go and tell them about it. Only less, not more. But it doesn't say how to pick or what kind of people to pick.

Liu Xiaohua was stunned for a moment. Only then did he smile: "Yes." Brother. I'll just go here. "I won't ask any more questions.

The middle-aged man named Su Yi glanced at the senior brother, and said respectfully to Liu Xiaohua: "Uncle Shi, please." ”

Su Yi is a little old and looks very calm. behaves and speaks moderately, and is very respectful to Liu Xiaohua, but it does not seem to be too flattering. When leading the way, he walked in front of Liu Xiaohua, but he stood on his right hand side with half of his body sideways, and did not use the back of his head to face her.

On the way, Liu Xiaohua didn't speak, and he wouldn't talk much.

When Liu Xiaohua asked, he only said something, and he didn't hide it.

Liu Xiaohua knew that the elder brother was a relic of the previous dynasty, and his original surname was Zhang, called Zhang Fengnian. After the fall of the previous dynasty, when he was under Liu Yourong's seat, he began to take care of mundane matters for Liu Yourong. When he cultivated the immortal body, he was actually not old, only in his early twenties, but he was getting fatter and fatter, and he was usually old, so he looked like a middle-aged person. It can be said that Xiao Penglai was created by this chubby elder brother.

"Master is very ethical." The disciple said very seriously: "It is often said that there is order in the world because of ethical rules. ”

Liu Xiaohua thought to himself, he must have been very blindsided by the matter between the master and Liu Ajiao back then. He just asked casually, "Why did Senior Brother ask me to deliver this letter today?" In fact, you are a powerful senior brother and a disciple, and it is enough for you to go. ”

The disciple glanced at Liu Xiaohua and said respectfully, "Go back to Uncle Shi's words." This disciple doesn't know. ”

Liu Xiaohua tilted her head to look at him and smiled, so that she didn't say anything more.

After entering the new disciple's residence, Su Yi really stood by the door when he entered the door, obviously wanting to stay out of the matter. Liu Xiaohua retracted her gaze, looked as usual, and gathered the new disciples who were cultivating the wasteland, and told them the news that she was going to pick six people.

After a brief silence, the twelve new disciples exploded.

A black strong boy said in a rough voice: "But we have just entered the sect, and we can't even memorize the mental method, what should we do if we encounter any danger?" My master said that we must first lay a solid foundation. It takes fifty or sixty years to practice the Heart Sutra alone. ”

He looked at Liu Xiaohua disrespectfully, after all, Liu Xiaohua was not older than them, and she was just an ordinary little girl standing there.

As soon as the black boy said this, some people should drink, "That's it." We don't understand anything yet. What good is it to go out with the master uncle? If something happens to you outside, you don't even have the ability to protect yourself, aren't you going to die in vain? I'm not going anyway. I listened to my master's words and practiced the Heart Sutra on the mountain. ”

His words drew a lot of echo.

Only Xu Sijiu said loudly: "Master Uncle is the master of the master's senior brother. The earliest entry, the highest cultivation, and the broadest knowledge. Our master Bozu is a well-known monk, you don't even know the name of 'Hug Puzi', right! "With a look of spirit" is because what he is best at is the elixir, he has this nickname. But although he majored in pills, he was also one of the few pill pharmacists who was not inferior to others in terms of cultivation. ”

A new disciple sneered, "What if you know...... I don't know? You know what's so great! ”

"I mention this because, anyone who has heard of him, should know that he is not a fool. He is not only higher than our master, but also has a higher cultivation. He said that if he let us go, he must have his reasons and plans. How could it be in vain that the disciples and grandchildren were sent to death? Xu Sijiu raised his voice and said, "It's good if you don't go, I'll go." With the master Bozu personally taught, there is no better one. ”

At this time, those new disciples were silent, and some of them who had a good relationship with her were not sure of their ideas.

The Seventh Prince squeezed out of the crowd and said, "I'll go too." He stood next to Liu Xiaohua with a smile and said, "I'll protect my little uncle." ”

Xu Sijiu rolled his eyes angrily.

The Seventh Prince was not annoyed, but just smiled and stood behind Liu Xiaohua with Mimi.

"It's already two, and it's still four." Liu Xiaohua said to the rest: "Senior brother said, only six." Can be less, not more. If no one wants to go, I'll go back to my brother. Is there anything else? ”

These new disciples hesitated.

A female disciple asked Liu Xiaohua, "Are you going?" ”

When she asked, everyone looked at Liu Xiaohua.

Liu Xiaohua nodded: "I'll go." ”

The disciple who asked the question immediately stood up and said, "Then I'll go too." ”

There are also people who want to say the same thing as her. They all had the idea of going, but the black boy said at this time: "She must go." What is she afraid of? Even if something happens, Master Bozu will naturally protect her. If only we were different. We are only lower-level disciples, and we are not serious. If you die, you can recruit new disciples. I'm not going anyway. I'm not stupid. What's so bad about cultivating in the mountains? ”

At this point, no one spoke at all.

plus Liu Xiaohua herself, there are only four people in total.

"In that case, I'll go back to my senior brother." Liu Xiaohua turned around and was about to leave, but the black boy ran over and grabbed her.

Liu Xiaohua lowered her eyes and looked at the big hand that grabbed her arm, without any expression.

The kid said in a rough voice: "Master Bozu said that if you go, will you teach us any special techniques?" ”

Liu Xiaohua said: "I didn't say that. ”

The black boy was puzzled: "Then what good is it for us to go along and take such a big risk?" ”

"I don't know, the senior brother didn't say it."

"Then you're going?" The black boy sneered, "You won't lie to us to send us to death?" Actually, you don't go at all. ”。 The new disciples echoed each other.

Liu Xiaohua said seriously: "Why should I lie to you to die? I believe in Big Brother. Since he has this intention, there must be a benefit worth taking the risk of. He must have planned other things. As long as we listen to him all the way, nothing will happen. ”

The black boy was a little unhappy, and said, "If you think so, you should make it clear to us all." Maybe a few more people will go. Why do you bury it in your heart, and see that everyone is afraid to go, but you don't say a word? "The others weren't happy either.

Originally, everyone didn't have much of a good impression of Liu Xiaohua.

It's obviously the same person, but Liu Xiaohua has just become a disciple of the sect master, and these of them worship under the lower-level disciples, why? Now she is so selfish again, as if she knows that there is no danger, but she is afraid that if there are too many people, it will be unfavorable to her. Maybe she knows the pros or cons, but she just won't tell everyone.

"Since there is no danger, then we are all going! Hurry up and sue Master Sù Bozu. A new disciple commanded loudly.

Liu Xiaohua stopped, looked back at them, and asked in a flat tone, "From me coming, to leaving." How many of you think seriously about the pros and cons? Thinking only about your own safety, others say this, you decide like this, others say that, and you follow the coax to make that decision. Don't you have brains of yourselves? ”

"You, how do you talk!" One of the little disciples was so angry that he scolded so much that he couldn't point his hand at her face.

Liu Xiaohua turned back to Su Yi and said: "In the patriarchal law, if you don't respect the master, what is the end?" ”

Su Yi had been silent for a long time, and now he immediately said respectfully: "If you return to your uncle's words, that is, if you enter the sect, you will know ethics, understand the rules, and know the dignity and inferiority of the upper and lower levels." Those who do not obey the teachings and do not respect the superior can be expelled from the sect at worst, and can be punished by the patriarchal law. ”

…… The disciples fell silent for a moment.

"He is so disrespectful and disrespectful, he should have been punished heavily, but for the sake of a new disciple, a little punishment can be done."

"The lightest sentence is also twenty boards." After Su Yi finished speaking, seeing that Liu Xiaohua did not veto, he raised his voice and called the two disciples, and the stunned little disciple was immediately put out.

Now, the courtyard was quiet. Even a falling needle can be heard clearly.

Twenty boards, for them who are still **mortals, is not a trivial matter.

Although it won't kill anyone, it hurts ......!

Liu Xiaohua looked back at these disciples: "I'm the same age as you, but I'm here, don't say that I just said something that I don't like." Even if I am a little more domineering, I will tell you to kneel and listen to me, and you must also kneel obediently. This is the rule of the sect! You were disrespectful to me before, and you didn't say anything, and I didn't care about it, which really gave you a lot of face. Her expression was still very flat, and her tone was not more severe, but she told these disciples to be all right.

As she spoke, she turned her head to look at the black boy, "Just because you talked to me like that before, I can expel you from the sect for the crime of great disrespect!" As you just said, new disciples, my little Penglai has never been lacking. You don't like it here, you can find a sect that has no dignity and humility, and my little Penglai won't keep it. ”

The black boy glanced at Su Yi quickly, and saw that the other party was just looking at her nose and nose and didn't intend to interject, so he avoided her gaze and took a step away very unnaturally.

Seeing that they didn't dare to scream anymore, Liu Xiaohua rubbed her arms before she asked the black boy coldly, "What's your name?" ”

The black boy thought that she was going to dispose of herself, her fists clenched slightly, and she said in a deep voice: "Qin Gong"

Liu Xiaohua said: "Before, I didn't explain to them what I thought, because these things were just my own calculations. The elder brother didn't say anything and told me directly, that if you go out with him, you will definitely get more benefits than staying in the mountains. It was also not said that there would be no danger. ”

As she spoke, she looked at the others: "If I use that self-calculation to persuade you to go, if the calculation is wrong, not only will there be no special benefits along the way, but you will also really encounter danger and your life will hang by a thread, what will you do?" ”

She glanced at the humans: "I also know that now that you have been provoked by others, I feel that it is my fault that you refuse to go, and it has nothing to do with your own refusal to use your brains. At that time, won't you think that I and my senior brother have harmed you because of the danger? People like you who only push the responsibility on the heads of others, but do not know how to move their own brains, and will only blindly listen to the instigation of others, but do not have the slightest judgment and responsibility. What kind of climate can it become? Even if you go, it's in vain, even if you practice a body of cultivation in the future, it's just an unreasonable bastard, I'm afraid I can't win glory for Xiao Penglai, and I have to be embarrassed everywhere. Even if you want to go now, I can't say yes. Now that Senior Brother is planning to teach in person, let me pick a few of you, and it can be seen that your qualifications are actually about the same. Since the qualifications are not bad, the people who want to be brought out at least have a clear mind cannot be stupid people who have no opinions and are confused. ”

The disciples were stunned. There may be resentment, but there is nothing to say, and there is nothing to say.

Liu Xiaohua didn't pay attention to them anymore, turned to the black boy and said, "Are you going?" ”

The black boy was stunned for a moment, not wanting that he would still have a chance, so he raised his eyebrows, respectfully made a not-so-good-looking salute, and immediately said: "Back to the words of the little master and uncle, the disciple is willing to go." The disciple's previous words were just to know more about the situation before making a conclusion, and he did not mean to be disrespectful to the little master and uncle. ”

Liu Xiaohua said "grace". He turned around and went out.

Xu Sijiu immediately said: "Congratulations to the little uncle and ancestor." The other disciples didn't dare to be disrespectful anymore. Congratulations one after another.

When Liu Xiaohua walked away, Xu Sijiu raised his head. Among the new disciples, two girls who had befriended her hurriedly ran over and said to her, "Didn't you say that she was quite soft? How is it like this today? ”

Xu Sijiu frowned and muttered, "Who knows." She was pretending to be quite kind before. I didn't expect to be majestic today, and I was so ruthless that I would kill half of someone's life at once. It's really heart-wrenching. ”

"Really. With such an elder, you can't even grovel if you want to. I saw that you just saluted her, and I was going to cry. How can life be so difficult? "There was a girl who complained. It was as if she was so noble that she was forced to give in to others.

Xu Sijiu said whimsily: "That's not exactly the case. What is she capable of making us so respectful to her? Who told us that we have no way, if we can become the disciples of the sect master without much effort, we will not suffer all the humiliation and smile at others. ”

At this time, a voice □□ in: "It turns out that if you don't welcome her, you can't live." So how did she let the big black go? Did the big black man also meet her? ”

Hei Zhuang's new disciple heard someone say that he glanced back, but only glanced. I didn't mix with them, and soon went back to the house.

Xu Sijiu followed the voice and turned around, and found that it was the Seventh Prince who spoke, so his face was displeased: "Do you know that she didn't want the big black son to follow him to take revenge on him?" Who told him to keep asking. ”

"Revenge? People don't have that much to spare. Before, she just didn't want you to exclude her, after all, the days are long. There is nothing wrong with being a kind elder so that you are not afraid of her and are willing to be close to her. That's why I'm kind to you. But now, I probably figured it out, and I didn't want to waste time on unimportant things -- to put it simply, people have a lot of things to do, and they are too busy to pay attention to you, do you still have the eyes to retaliate against a low-level disciple for making these tortuous means? Wouldn't it be more relieving to beat him directly......... "The Seventh Prince teased.

Xu Sijiu became embarrassed: "You help her speak?" She told me, you are just sending someone under the fence, let me ignore you, don't be afraid of you. Say you're nothing remarkable. But now are you going to fight her? If you stand up for her, you have to see what people say about you. Is it really a lack of heart? Take a hot face and stick it to someone's cold p-shares. ”

"Really?" The Seventh Prince looked at Liu Xiaohua's figure meaningfully, and his expression was much calmer than when he usually smiled and smiled.

When Liu Xiaohua's figure disappeared from the mountain road, he glanced back at Xu Sijiu, suddenly showed a ruffian smile again, put his head to her ear, and said in a voice that was only audible: "Do you know? A girl as young as you, and she hasn't cultivated yet, can easily die. For example, one day on a mountain road, you don't know why, suddenly you can't stand on your feet and fall. Or, laughing with his companions, he accidentally bumped into the sword, and his neck was cut off. ”

The Seventh Prince showed a strange expression of pity, "Tsk, it's really pitiful to die at a young age." If the teachers had asked me, why had such a terrible accident happened at that time? I guess I'm so choked up that I can't speak clearly, right? After all, I'm so sad. You say, how could a girl like a flower be so careless? If you had known that you would have died so young, when you were alive, you would have spoken well, behaved well, and not learned the bad habits of others in front of you. ”

As if she was dead.

Xu Sijiu was so frightened that his face turned white, and he looked at him in a daze for a long time.

The grinning face seemed to have a different meaning, and it gave birth to a strange horror, as if he really intended to attack her. She screamed, turned and ran.

A friend who knew her well asked her loudly at her back with concern, "What's wrong with you?" He looked back at the Seventh Prince suspiciously.

"Women are just boring, even afraid of little insects?" The Seventh Prince stood behind her, laughing as if he had really just made an insignificant joke. The girls dispersed, and the others were unimpressed. Who could believe that he could say such terrible things with such an expression.

Liu Xiaohua returned to the main peak and asked Su Yi to write the list on paper and give it to Zhang Fengnian. I went to Liu Yourong's side first.

Su Yi wrote his name and took it to the Danfang, where Zhang Fengnian was watching the fire.

He told Zhang Fengnian what Liu Xiaohua did and what he said after she went to Xinyunfeng.

Zhang Fengnian listened, did not speak, but the expression on his face was a little relieved, and said, "She is a clear-minded person. I mentioned to her that the situation is not good now, and she listened to the second child's words, so she naturally knew my intention to take my disciple out. You also know what kind of talent to choose. If you want to support the sect, not only must you have qualifications, but you can't have a clear mind. Just look at the second child. In the future, our sect will select new disciples, and the same will be true. If the qualification is not good, you can make up for it, and there will always be a time to make up for it, but if your brain is not good, you will have nothing to do. ”

sighed again, "If there are a few more disciples like this, Xiao Penglai is not afraid of no successor." In the future, we will also be able to enjoy leisure and concentrate on the study of heavenly opportunities. ”

Seeing that Su Yi was silent, he asked Su Yi: "Do you have something to say?" ”

Su Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm still a bastard at her age." Historically, even if there are geniuses who are extremely intelligent, most of them are smart in practice or reading, and they can understand it at all because of their intelligence, but it is probably not possible to let these geniuses take care of practice. But she is smart in terms of human sophistication, and at what age she is, she has such thoughts. The disciple is afraid that if something is abnormal, it will be a demon......
