Tuzong, a building complex with Hongda specifications, is built by splitting the mountain, like a sharp knife, inserted in the middle of the snow-capped mountain.

When Qin Lin and Wei Xi had just arrived at the gate of the Tuzong Outer Dao at the foot of the Snow Mountain, Wei Xi was already amazed.

She had never seen a towering gate more than ten feet long.

I've never seen a giant gatekeeper beast with a head as tall as her.

I have never seen it, and the 10,000-step stone staircase seems to lead to the sky.

"It really deserves to be one of the Five Elements Sect. Her eyes twitched.

Qin Lin shrugged, "It's just appearance." ”

Wei Xi glanced at him, "Don't talk nonsense, if the sect disciples hear it, they will definitely not spare you." ”

Qin Lin chuckled, "Don't worry, it's so cold, they won't hide in the corner and eavesdrop, it is estimated that the disciples of the Tu Sect are all warming up in the sect mansion now." ”

"You are still talking nonsense, this is a Tuzong, you should pay attention to your speech. ”

Wei Xi made a very polite appearance.

Maybe it was indeed affected by the majestic and towering gate of the Tuzong, and he couldn't help but look solemn.

The 10,000-step stone staircase is really not something that ordinary people can step on.

Wei Xi was already out of breath when she walked halfway, and the combination of the plateau made her feel a little dizzy.

"It's useless that you're still a martial arts cultivator. ”

Qin Lin scoffed a little.

Wei Xi gasped and looked at him, "What the hell is the situation with you, I'm almost exhausted, you don't have anything to do."

"Good fitness. ”

"Is there any medicine? I'll buy it from you. Wei Xi really envied Qin Lin's physique.

"It's expensive, you can't afford it. ”

"Don't look down on people, I have money, but I just didn't bring it out. ”

"Three hundred gold plants, one course of treatment requires ten plants, and one course of treatment should be taken every year for five consecutive years. ”

Qin Lin casually made up a quote.

Wei Xi calculated, "In this way, it will cost 3,000 gold a year, and 15,000 gold in five years." ”

"Hmm. ”

Qin Lin nodded.

Wei Xi didn't say anything anymore, she didn't want to humiliate herself, she really couldn't afford it.

"Alright, I'll carry you up. Qin Lin bent down slightly.

"This is the Tuzong, if the disciples of the Tuzong see you carrying me, where will I put my face. Wei Xi decisively refused.

Qin Lin: "This stone step was built due to the terrain, not to test your endurance, many dignitaries and dignitaries visited the Tuzong, and the servants carried the sedan chair up, and some disciples of the Tuzong also hired coachmen to send them up and down the mountain." ”

“......”

Wei Xi was stunned, and then asked, "How do you know?"

"The news of Lishan runs through the whole territory, so naturally there will be listening. Qin Lin responded, and then said: "In addition, this 10,000-step stone ladder is indeed difficult for ordinary people to walk, but for martial cultivators, it seems that as long as there is a martial art to accelerate movement, it can easily leap up, so it can't play a role in testing endurance at all." ”

"Uh, yours, yours seems to make sense. ”

Wei Xi regretted that he had not cultivated the martial art of speeding up movement.

Qin Lin: "Come up, I'll carry you up." ”

Wei Xi didn't object again, she was really tired.

After jumping on Qin Lin's back, she felt more clearly that Qin Lin's footsteps were steady.

A full 10,000 steps, completely at a uniform speed, without the slightest sense of fatigue, when he arrived at the real gate of the Tu Sect, Qin Lin's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he was very calm.

"Your body is horrible. "She.

At this time, two Tuzong disciples stepped out of the gate.

"Why are you two here?"

The disciple asked politely.

Wei Xi took out the jade token from his arms and handed it forward: "Please also ask Senior Brother to transfer the token to the sect master." ”

When the disciple saw the word "Wei" engraved on the jade plate, he had already guessed a few points in his heart.

"Okay, please wait. ”

The disciple entered the residence and returned to the sect.

Regarding the news that the Wei family's relatives were coming to the Tuzong to practice, the disciples of the Tuzong had heard about it for a long time, so when they saw the Wei token, the disciples naturally knew what to do.

Soon, a disciple dressed in a gorgeous practice uniform came to greet him.

Wei Xi could tell that this was an inner disciple.

I just looked at the disciple who bent down slightly and arched his hand, and said, "Sister Wei, the master of the sect has summoned you in the main hall, please come with me." ”

Wei Xi arched his hand: "Okay, Senior Brother Lao is leading the way." ”

She and Qin Lin walked into the sect mansion one after the other.

Qin Lin played the role of a good attendant, so naturally he could no longer be in school with Wei Xi like before

The two of them walked through the huge clan mansion, and the golden-roofed buildings made Wei Xi's exclamations continue.

"You're also a Wei nobleman, right?"

Qin Lin couldn't stand it a little and complained.

Wei Xi grinned, "What do you know, I grew up in the Wei Mansion, and I always thought that the Wei Mansion was the largest mansion in the Western Continent, who thought, the Tuzong is bigger...... And I'm going to be cultivating here in the future, so I'm happy when I think about it. ”

"Hey, I've never seen the world. ”

Qin Lin shook his head and said no more.

Under the guidance of the disciples, they also walked a long, long distance, and finally arrived at the main hall located in the center of the sect residence.

Along the way, it was snowy and empty.

I thought that when I arrived at the main hall, there should be a disciple guard to put up a guard of honor, but I found that it was still empty.

"Although the Tu Sect is the sect with the fewest disciples in the Five Elements Sect, it shouldn't be so deserted. ”

Qin Lin felt puzzled.

Walking into the main hall, he followed behind Wei Xi, watching Wei Xi show courtesy and move towards the throne in the hall.

There were seven people in the temple.

The person in the middle is naturally the master of the Tuzong sect, and there are three people on the left and right, all of whom are big characters at the level of the Tuzong master, and among them, there is also a female master.

Wei Xi couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw them.

She originally thought that the masters were all white-haired and bearded old men, but she didn't expect that the seven people in the palace all looked like they were no more than thirty or forty years old, especially the female master, the young ones were not like words, and they only looked like they were in their teens.

Qin Lin secretly shook his head.

"These masters of the Tuzong are really not doing their jobs, and they are not good at cultivation, but they spend energy to maintain their ageless appearance. ”

Qin Lin could see their true age.

Except for the female master, the rest are already over seventy years old, and the female master is not young, six out of thirty.

"Disciple Wei Xi, pay homage to all the masters. ”

Wei Xi stepped forward, suppressed his surprise, and knelt down on one knee in salute.

The person in the middle nodded, "Wei Xi, your father has already sent a letter, and in the next three years, you will be cultivating quietly in my Tuzong." ”

The voice of the sect master was cold and ruthless, as if he didn't eat the fireworks of the world, but in fact, he didn't want to deal with Wei Xi.

It's something that can't be helped.

It is inevitable to go through the back door and be disliked.

Wei Xi was originally mentally prepared for this, and Qin Lin had a time with her last night, don't break the rules of the Earth Sect.

Although she had always believed that she had her father's face, and it didn't hurt for her to go through the back door and break the rules of the Tuzong, but now that she heard Shizun's voice, she realized that Qin Lin was right, and she was really not treated well by others.

"Many, thank you Sect Master for allowing Wei Xi to stay, I am grateful. ”

What else can Wei Xi do, he can only be obedient.

The sect master turned his head and looked at the female master: "Senior Sister Bai, Wei Xi will worship under your door." ”

"Hmm. ”

The female master replied expressionlessly, and she could see her reluctance.

Qin Lin stood aside a little embarrassed.

Driving the aura, he could read the inner thoughts of these masters.

To tell the truth, these old things of Tuzong are indeed excessive.

Since you don't want to see you, then don't agree to let Wei Xi come in the first place, now that Wei Xi is here, they deliberately put on a bad face, they don't understand bullying Wei Xi!

In other words, if the Lord of Wei Prefecture personally sent Wei Xi at this time, they would definitely not have this attitude at this time, and they would definitely be courteous.

Or, if Wei Xi is not from the Wei family, their attitude will be better.

Wei Xi was still kneeling in the center of the hall, although she was not smart, she was not stupid, and she could naturally hear the dislike of the masters.

Suddenly, she felt a little inferior.

The original excitement was gone, and he knelt stiffly for a while before turning around and facing the female master surnamed Bai.

"Disciple Wei Xi, meet Master. ”

Her voice became very.

The female master looked at her coldly, "You go down first, someone will take you to the Lingyue Peak presided over by the deity, and someone will also settle you down." ”

"Yes, yes!"

Wei Xi lowered his head, slowly got up, and exited the main hall.

Qin Lin walked out after her.

A disciple stepped forward and led them towards the mountain hall to the right of the sect residence.

Lingyue Peak is located on the right, and it is the only mountain residence among the major mountain residences of Tuzong, which is not in the official residence building, and needs to pass through a chain bridge that is several kilometers long to lead to the snow peak on the other side.

"It's here. ”

When he came to Lingyue Peak, the disciple who led the way bowed his hand slightly, always polite.

At this time, a female disciple dressed in gorgeous practice clothes also walked out of the Lingyue Peak Mountain Mansion.

This female disciple's figure is a little round, and she doesn't have the capable appearance of a martial artist, but her eyes are very sharp, and everyone looks as if they owe him millions of gold.

"It's Senior Sister Wei Xi. ”

The female disciple's tone was the same as that of the masters, without the slightest warmth.

Wei Xi pursed his lips and stepped forward and arched his hand: "Yes." ”

"Okay, my name is Li Juan, and I am a sitting disciple of Shizun, you will follow me to cultivate in the future. ”

Li Juan stiffened, then turned around and walked towards the mountain mansion, throwing out a sentence: "Come with me." ”

Wei Xi was a little timid, standing in place in a daze.

Qin Lin pushed her, "Let's go." ”

"Oh. ”

She hesitated.

It was really from the moment Tuzong entered the door, she felt very unfriendly.

This was different from what she had imagined before, she also thought that Tuzong would be a warm family, where everyone cultivated together and learned martial arts together.

But now...... The ideal fullness gave reality a resounding slap in the face.

Li Juan walked to the door of the mountain mansion by herself, turned her head, and Ruifeng's eyes were fixed on Qin Lin.

"Is he your servant?" asked Li Su to Wei Xi.

Wei Xi trembled and nodded.

"Hmph, I came to practice with a servant, it's really a daughter's eldest sister, it's just that, it's up to you. ”

Li Juan shook her face.

Her attitude sent an obvious signal to Wei Xi - you are the eldest sister of the daughter who came here anyway, whatever you want.

Wei Xi's footsteps stopped in front of the mountain mansion and did not enter.

She didn't want to go in, the thought of going home already sprung up in her mind.

The outside world is too scary, but it's better to be at home.

Qin Lin read her thoughts and immediately spoke: "Sister Wei Xi, Pavilion Master Wei has high expectations for you, don't let her down." ”

"I, I know. ”

She struggled.

Li Juan had already walked far away, and the huge Lingyue Feng was still empty and deserted.

Coming to a small courtyard, Li Juan stopped.

"You will live here in the future, and the master will arrange two outer disciples for you, and they will take care of your daily life, if there is nothing else, you will stay in the courtyard and don't come out, so as not to get lost." ”

Over, Li Juan left.

Wei Xi had a bitter expression, but he was still relieved in his heart.

Now she couldn't care about anything else, as long as she could not see these cold faces, she was satisfied.

But Qin Lin opened his mouth to stop at this time, "Senior Sister Li Juan, please wait a moment." ”

Li Juan looked sideways, didn't stop, and continued to care about herself with a cold snort.

Qin Lin read it into her heart.

She didn't think she needed to pay attention to one of the attendants.

"The heart is really big. ”

Qin Lin shook his head.

Wei Xi was a little displeased: "What do you tell her to do." ”

"Shouldn't you ask, when will you start cultivating?"

"There's no need, hey......"

Wei Xi has been retreating in his heart.

Qin Lin pushed open the gate of the courtyard.

From the outside, this courtyard is quite elegant, after all, it is the building of the Tuzong.

But inside it is indeed dilapidated, and at first glance it is a long-term uninhabited place.

Moreover, the seat where the courtyard is located is the southernmost part of Lingyue Peak, which is considered a corner position, and it is very remote.

"Looks like it's time to clean up. Qin Lin rolled up his sleeves.

Wei Xi came to the stone chair in the courtyard with a depressed expression, sat down, and sighed.

"You're right. "She.

Qin Lin didn't say anything.

She continued: "It's a good thing that I didn't bring the guards with me today, otherwise, I am afraid that they would have looked down on me even more. ”

"Don't look like you're loveless, this is just the beginning, and the hard days in the future are still long. Qin Lin smiled.

Wei Xi gave him a blank look, "You just gloat." ”

Qin Lin shrugged, "I can't be happy if I suffer with you." ”

"Then you go. Wei Xi was in a bad mood.

Qin Lin shook his head, no more, and began to clean up the yard.

Snowflakes are falling, and at least there is a beauty.

After two or three hours, the inside and outside of the courtyard were almost cleaned up, and outside the courtyard, there were also two female disciples from the outer door.

To Qin Lin's surprise, the posture of these two female disciples was of high quality, comparable to Wei Xi.

"Ho, I thought that the disciples of Lingyue Peak were all as fat and big-eared as Li Juan. ”

Qin Lin secretly scoffed.

The two female disciples entered the room and saluted Wei Xi.

"Senior sister, Master has asked us to serve you. The female disciple spoke.

They are outsiders, not the disciples of Master Bai, so they call Wei Xi "senior sister" just because they are one or two years older than Wei Xi.

Wei Xi is like "another village with bright willows and flowers", and he sees new hope.

Finally, two warm people came.

"It's a no-brainer. She hurriedly said.

Then he beckoned two female disciples into the house.

The room had been cleaned up, but it was dimly lit.

After Qin Lin lit a candlelight, he stood behind Wei Xi and continued to play the role of a good attendant.

Wei Xi asked the two female disciples, "You, what is your name?" ”

"My name is Yue Lin, a native of Lizhou. The taller female disciple said.

Another female disciple was delicate but had white skin, and she responded, "My name is Feng Ting, and I am also from Lizhou. ”

The two female disciples smiled sweetly.

Wei Xi felt that he had found a partner, and showed a happy expression.

But Qin Lin secretly shook his head.

He knew that Yue Lin and Feng Ting were both from ordinary clans, and although Fu was good, they could only be regarded as characters in front of Wei Xi, a top nobleman.

Therefore, the most essential purpose of them to serve Wei Xi is to curry favor.

White, the smiles they showed in front of Wei Xi were completely fake, their true thoughts were no different from Li Juan, and they also despised Wei Xi to enter the inner door by going through the back door.

"Hmph, it's just that I have an amazing dad. ”

"If you rely on your own ability, you are not even an outer disciple, this world is really unfair. ”

Yue Lin and Feng Ting thought so.

Qin Lin couldn't see through it, and it was also considering that Wei Xi really needed some comfort at this time, even if it was fake comfort

After a brief chat, Wei Xi arranged a place for the two of them to live.

Although the two of them were fake, they were not sloppy in what they should serve, and after the color dimmed, the handyman sent lettuce and raw meat, and they went into the kitchen to cook a few simple dishes and serve Wei Xi to eat.

Qin Lin saw that it was almost time, so he said to Wei Xi: "You will stay in the courtyard tonight, and I will go back to the inn to inform those people." ”

"You're leaving?"
