On the side of the Sanqing Palace, the high-rise building is difficult to shade the sun, and there are several small rooms in the shade.

The two entered the house, and Fang Zhong helped Zhou Qing sit down. Zhou Qing said with a little frustration: "Senior Brother Fang, I originally lived alone in this humble room, but now I have to wronged you to suffer for a few days." Fang Zhong saw that in addition to a large shop in the house, a table and a chair were all household belongings, all of which were very old things, although they were old, they were also spotlessly clean, and said with a smile: "I am from a poor background, and I am not a rich family, where can I be wronged." I was very happy to have a place to stay. Zhou Qing smiled bitterly: "Don't lie to me, you must not be from a poor family." Fang Zhong said strangely: "I'm not wearing brocade, why did Senior Brother say that?" Zhou Qing said lightly: "How can a child from a poor family learn Kunlun as easily as you?" Can you have the opportunity to enter the Jade Void Palace to see the real person in charge? Can you bring a pet beast that you don't know what? Where can ordinary people be? Don't lie to me, you can't come here for the time being, and soon, like some other brothers who have a door, you will move to the front yard. Fang Zhong was stunned for a moment and said, "Could it be that there are other senior brothers who live elsewhere?" Zhou Qing said: "How many disciples can live in a few dilapidated rooms here?" All of them are the children of poor families who have no door and no household. But the richer, who will live here? ”

Fang Zhong was silent, and then said, "Senior Brother Zhou is too careful. Thinking that Master Lu arranges a place to live is also arbitrary, Kunlun Mountain is sacred and solemn, how can he use money to look at people. Zhou Qing muttered, "Sacred and solemn? I hope so. After sitting for a while, feeling the pain in his left hand and weakness in his body, the other party Zhong said: "Senior Brother Fang, there is only one shop here, fortunately, you and I are thin, and it is still spacious to squeeze, I will lie down for a while, you clean up your sleeping place by yourself, and wait for the canteen to open." When he had finished speaking, he fell down on the bunk and took a nap. Fang Zhong cleaned up his sleeping place according to his words, folded the clothes he was carrying and put them next to the wooden pillow, and went to draw the iron sword behind his back, but he felt empty, and then he suddenly realized that the sword had been taken back by the real person in charge. Only the gourd is still around. In the future, he studied art in Kunlun, and it was inconvenient to carry the gourd on his back, so he untied the gourd and pressed it on top of his clothes. After everything was cleaned up, there was nothing to do on the chair, and I suddenly felt empty and lonely, remembering that I used to be accompanied by Puxuan and Xian'er, although the journey was hard, but there was talk and laughter, which was much more interesting than now, and I couldn't help but miss the days when I got together.

Zhou Qingshen was sleepy and tired, and he slept for two or three hours before he woke up, and when he got up and saw that the sky was already twilight, he said with annoyance: "Oops! Missed the meal time. Senior brother, why don't you wake me up? He turned around and complained about Fang Zhong, but saw Fang Zhong sitting upright on the chair, looking at his nose, nose, mouth, mouth, and heart, looking like he had nothing to do with everything, and he didn't care about himself at all. Zhou Qing looked at his posture and said strangely: "Senior brother, are you refining qi?" A few more calls woke Fang Zhong up. Fang Zhong turned his head and said, "Senior brother, you called me?" Zhou Qing approached and said, "Senior Brother Fang, why did you just go up the mountain and get still?" Fang Zhong said: "What body is still?" I do not know? Zhou Qing hesitated and said: "How do you pretend to be stupid?" Fang Zhong said: "I'm bored, so I sit down and relieve fatigue for a while, is this called body stillness?" I really don't know. Zhou Qing saw that Fang Zhong was serious, not like lying, and asked, "How did you learn this method?" Fang Zhong said: "It was taught by Uncle Jiang, I have been practicing for many years, but I never know what the body is static. Zhou Qing nodded and said, "Your appearance is obviously practicing Huang Ting's method of refining qi, but you don't know it." "Xindao, your Uncle Jiang's ability must be commonplace, and sure enough, he started cultivating before he went up the mountain, and he even believed that Fang Zhong was from an extraordinary background, and he was not a person on the same road as himself. Zhou Qing said lightly: "It's getting late, you can only be hungry if you miss the meal time, Senior Brother Fang ......, no, Fang Gongzi, does Fang Gongzi suffer so hard?" There was a bit of indifference between the words. Fang Zhong was stunned for a moment and said, "Senior brother, I don't know when the meal will start, I only have food when it gets dark, so I missed it, I'm really sorry." Zhou Qing waved his hand and said: "I am a bitter child, not a son-in-law, I have endured a lot of hardships, but I have no food for three days, and I am just as lively." After that, he took a coat from the bunk and said, "For you, this rein, but you want me to suffer a night for the two senior brothers." Ignore Fang Zhong and go out. Fang Zhong was left alone in the house.

As soon as it was dark, Zhou Qing came to the beast riding shed as promised. The two Taoists laughed and blew nonsense, handed over the responsibility of care to Zhou Qing, but they slipped back to their residence to sleep.

Although the scenery on the mountain is beautiful, the temperature difference between day and night is huge. Zhou Qing put on a coat and still felt that the mountain wind was biting and cold, and the injured hand was even more painful, so he couldn't stop stomping his feet and walking around outside the beast riding shed. The faint candlelight of the lantern outside the shed reflected this small figure, extremely lonely and lonely. Although I was hungry and tired, I was also a little hot on my body.

Zhou Qing held a bundle of straw under his buttocks and was about to rest, when he suddenly heard someone say, "Senior brother, I'll accompany you." Zhou Qing was stunned and saw that it was Fang Zhong who came with a smile. Zhou Qing didn't expect Fang Zhong to come to accompany him, and his heart felt warm, and said, "Gong Fang...... Senior Brother Fang, why are you here? Fang Zhong smiled: "I can't sleep alone, so I came to talk to you and take a look at my dog by the way." Zhou Qing smiled and said, 'Do you want to see more of your dogs, or more of me?' Fang Zhongdao: "Looking at people is to see you more, looking at animals is naturally to look at dogs, senior brother has to compare with my dogs, it's really difficult for me to choose junior brother." Zhou Qing scolded: "Wow, compare me to a beast!" "Pretend to fight. Fang Zhong said with a smile: "Junior brother admits his mistake, don't fight, don't fight, one dozen, this dinner will not be given." "Hand it over, and I brought over a pancake. Zhou Qingxi said: "It turns out that you have something good to hide, why didn't you take it out earlier?" Fang Zhong said: "This is when I first went up the mountain, I passed by a house, and an old man gave it to us, and I didn't finish it, I kept it, and it happened to come in handy tonight." Zhou Qing took it, he was hungry in his belly, so he was honest, he ate the cake in two bites, and when he ate it all, he wiped his mouth, saw Fang Zhong drooling on the side, and said busily: "Has Senior Brother Fang eaten it?" Fang Zhong puffed up his empty stomach and said with a smile: "I've eaten it, it's full." ”

Fang Zhong went to look at the hideous beast first, and seeing that it was still stable, he teased it for a while before coming back. Zhou Qing moved his ass out of the way and motioned for Fang Zhong to sit down. Zhou Qing praised: "It is rare to see a rich child who can endure hardships and love like my junior brother. Fang Zhong said: "I'm really not a rich kid, but I was forced by my father to read some books." Zhou Qing said: "It's good to be able to read, like my family, I can't even read books." If it weren't for this Kunlun Mountain, I'm afraid that by now, I would still be illiterate. Fang Zhong said: "How did Senior Brother get to Kunlun?" Zhou Qing laughed at himself and said, "I'm not like you, someone accompanies and someone takes care of me, I came by myself." When I was very young, there was a Taoist priest in the village who returned to his hometown, and the Taoist priest was very famous for his ability to write and martial arts, and countless officials and eunuchs went to him to do things, and his life was very beautiful. My parents had many children, and where they could feed them, they went to the Taoist priest,...... However, the Taoist priest refused to even give a mouthful of leftover food, and said a lot of ugly things in front of my parents. My father couldn't get angry, and scolded him for being a Taoist priest on which mountain, so immoral, he would have been driven down the mountain. The Taoist priest was annoyed and angry, and said that he was from Kunlun Mountain, and he had the ability to go to Kunlun to sue him and beat my father, and since then, my father has never gotten up. My mother sued the official, but it was useless, I remembered the words of the Taoist priest, and I remembered this Kunlun Mountain. ”

Fang Zhong said: "Then you came to Kunlun?" Zhou Qing shook his head slowly and said, "At that time, my mother took three children, and after my father went, life was even more difficult, and everyone was dying of hunger." One day, my mother snatched my sister from my arms and sank her own hands into the river. Fang Zhong was taken aback when he heard this. Zhou Qing's face showed a smile, and he continued: "That's my only sister, I have always carried it, with a round face, dark eyes, and tender little hands and ....... She was very attached to me, but I wanted to see her struggle in the water, to death! …… Mother did this without mercy. I want to save my sister, but I don't have the courage, it's really not that I'm ruthless, my mother said, instead of dying together, it's better to open your mouth less and save one by one. I believed my mother's words. In this way, the younger sister was drowned by her mother,...... I didn't dare to look at her, lest she would look at me with her eyes open. In the end, I didn't see the corpse, I heard my sister say that my sister's corpse was given to people, and in exchange for some things, it was some food, enough for three people to support ten days and a half months. That's it, my sister is gone. Tears had already fallen down Zhou Qing's cheeks. After some time, life was not easy. One night I heard my sister crying and kneeling in front of her mother begging for something, but to no avail, and after a while some men dragged her away ....... I chased out, I wanted to hold her, I lost my sister and couldn't lose my sister again, I had so much courage to do this for the first time, chasing and chasing, but when I caught up, my sister said that I want to take good care of my mother, she can't be filial, and she still has to follow others. I froze, what's wrong with my sister? I hate my mother, and I hate myself even more, why didn't my sister run away with me? What is the use of such a mother? I went back and questioned my mother, but she actually said that it was for my good, everything she did was for me, I was everything to her, hum, it was nice to say, it was not for herself, for the sake of a mouthful of food, not even her daughter, maybe in a few days, she would not even want her son. I hated and felt sad, I would never believe her again, I didn't have such a mother, I was going to leave her. It was then that I decided to go up to Kunlun Mountain. ”
