In the early morning of the next day, Dazhi and Xiao Wu on Chi Yue Peak were still the first to get up as usual, and they were responsible for cleaning the Qingfeng Temple, filling the kitchen with two large tanks of water, and boiling water and cooking breakfast for the other disciples. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

When they were about to walk to the kitchen, they smelled the fragrance of cooked porridge and rice, and they were both surprised. How else can you smell it?

The two of them hurriedly squeezed into the kitchen, lifted the lid of the pot on the stove, and saw that a pot of gruel had already been boiled and was steaming!

In addition, there were also a few plates of freshly fried fresh vegetarian dishes on the kitchen table, Dazhi and Xiaowu looked at each other, on weekdays, these were all busy with their work, but now someone had prepared them in advance, which made them a little confused.

Seeing that there was nothing to do with them in the kitchen, Dazhi and Xiaowu scratched their heads, walked out of the kitchen, and met a person carrying a bucket in the corridor, the two of them looked at it, isn't this Lin Xiaoyi's junior brother?

The two of them hurriedly stepped forward to stop Lin Xiaoyi and put down the wooden bucket full of water for him, Lin Xiaoyi wiped his sweat all over his head, and smiled at Dazhi and Xiaowu, and said: "Two senior brothers, I have already cooked breakfast for you, and there is still a jar of water that has not been picked, so I will pick it up," and was about to pick up the bucket burden that he had just put down.

Dazhi and Xiao Wu hurriedly pressed his burden, and Xiao Wu asked first: "Senior Brother Xiao Yi, don't you still have the last level, who asked you to do our chores now?" ”

Lin Xiaoyi smiled lightly and said, "Oh, I am already a person who has been decided by the master, and the senior brother also asked me not to practice anymore, it seems that I am really not suitable for cultivation, I will follow you here to do chores in the future!" ”

Da Zhi and Xiao Wu glanced at each other, Lin Xiaoyi's words were not unreasonable, any disciple who had no future in cultivation would be arranged to do these miscellaneous duties, which was also an unwritten rule on Wufeng Mountain.

In the past three years, everyone has gotten along with each other on Chi Yuefeng, and both Dazhi and Xiaowu know that Senior Brother Lin Xiaoyi is a kind-hearted person, and he treats them very well on weekdays.

Due to their clumsiness and stupidity in cultivation, Dazhi and Xiao Wu have not made any progress on the way to cultivation, and sometimes they are even looked down upon by their fellow brothers, but Lin Xiaoyi treats them both as respectfully as other senior brothers, and when they are usually too busy, they also find time to help them work, so they both usually like this little junior brother very much.

However, now seeing that this little junior brother has also fallen to the same level as them, he can't help but feel a little sorry for him, the chubby senior brother Dazhi glanced at Lin Xiaoyi, lowered his head, sighed, and said, "It's just that following the two of us in the future will make you embarrassed!" ”

Lin Xiaoyi smiled innocently and said, "Senior Brother Dazhi, what are you talking about, it's also good to be able to work here with you, I don't think there's anything embarrassing about this, I'm not suitable for cultivation, so shouldn't I do something for everyone?" ”

When Senior Brother Dazhi heard this, he raised his eyes again to look at Lin Xiaoyi, a look of joy flashed in his eyes, he was worried that this little junior brother would be a little unwilling to follow them and not be able to put the burden of his psychology, but he didn't have the slightest look of frustration and despair, which was really commendable, so he patted Lin Xiaoyi's shoulder and said, "Okay, then we will be good brothers in the future, let's help each other!" ”

Lin Xiaoyi nodded seriously and said, "Senior Brother Dazhi, Senior Brother Xiaowu, I-"

Senior Brother Dazhi interrupted him and said, "We are only slightly older than you, in the future, you will directly call Dazhi and Xiaowu, and we will call you Xiaoyi, so it will be more cordial to listen!" ”

Lin Xiaoyi was also moved in his heart when he heard this, he failed to pass the level of cultivation, and it was not worth mentioning in the eyes of the master and other senior brothers, Dazhi and Xiaowu Senior Brother were still so close to him, and he was moved for a while, so he nodded "um" and said: "Dazhi, Xiaowu, then let me do my part for Chi Yuefeng with you in the future." ”

Dazhi and Xiaowu both nodded, and the three of them high-fived together, and made up their minds to work together, and in the future, they would unite on Chi Yue Peak and share weal and woe.

As soon as the three of them finished speaking, Xiao Wu saw the bucket placed at Lin Xiaoyi's feet, and couldn't help laughing: "Look, we still say that we share weal and beg, and let Xiao Yi do so much work for us today!" ”

Dazhi also nodded yes, Lin Xiaoyi said a little embarrassed: "I can't sleep today, so I got up early, I feel that there is really nothing to do, so I did some work, don't worry, I will get up with you in the future, let's do these things together!" ”

Dazhi smiled and said, "This is our good brother!" ”

As he spoke, he took the bucket burden from Lin Xiaoyi's hand and carried it on his shoulder, "I'll pick up the rest of the jar of water, you can rest first." ”

Xiao Wu also picked up a broom at the kitchen door, carried it on his shoulder, and said as he walked towards the main hall: "Then I'll go clean the courtyard." ”

When Dazhi and Xiao Wu were gone, Lin Xiaoyi stood in the corridor, looking at the backs of the two walking away, he smiled bitterly, with such kind-hearted two senior brothers, it would be impossible for him to do more work in the future!

At this time, Lin Xiaoyi's heart felt very happy, he used to help them do something, but he was always rejected by them one by one, from today onwards, he can justifiably help Dazhi and Xiao Wu to do these chores on Chi Yue Peak, no longer have to worry about them stopping him, when he thinks of this, his heart feels a lot easier.

In the following days, they did chores belonging to the three of their unsuccessful disciples on Chiyue Peak together, carrying water and cooking every morning as usual, going to the front mountain to chop firewood in the morning, and watering the garden and planting vegetables in the backyard in the afternoon, in short, life was busy and trivial.

As for the other disciples of Chi Yuefeng, although at the beginning, some people felt some pity for Lin Xiaoyi, but seeing that he was very diligent in doing the tiring work of those inferior disciples, he was busy before and after, and he was down-to-earth and hardworking, and he usually had no complaints, and over time, they all thought that he had slowly gotten used to it.

It's just that on the other peaks of Wufeng Mountain, there are rumors that the so-called "Chiyue Peak has three stupid disciples", saying that they have been getting started for several years, but so far they can't even break through the first layer of the Taiji Five Elements Dao Hongyuan Realm "Zhou Tian", of course, these rumors have long been spread to the ears of Lin Xiaoyi and the three of them, but they are quite self-aware and don't pay attention to them.

However, the pain hidden in your heart will still touch your sensitive nerves unexpectedly after all.

Whenever the disciples of Chi Yuefeng went to the back mountain to practice the Dao Fa, Lin Xiaoyi could only do those monotonous and boring rough and stupid work, every time Master Xuanye convened the disciples in Jingyue Hall to discuss the matter, Dazhi, Xiaowu and Lin Xiaoyi would never be notified, as if the three of them were dust floating in the air, which could be completely ignored by others.

Because Master Xuanye had already spoken first, at night, it was no longer convenient for the second senior brother Li Yu to teach Lin Xiaoyi the Taoist method of Wufeng Mountain, but even if Senior Brother Li Yu was willing to teach him, for Lin Xiaoyi now, all this would be in vain.

At most, Lin Xiaoyi is often just sitting alone in his room, guarding a lone lamp alone, watching the candle flame burn little by little until it turns into ashes, swallowed by this ruthless fireworks, and the heart that is already in despair.

The lights went out, and the room was silent, except for the moonlight that came in and shone on him, cold and cold.

He looked through the window and stared at the stars in the night sky outside in a daze, and he often wondered: Am I really living my whole life on Wufeng Mountain like this?

"No!" Lin Xiaoyi gritted his teeth and said to himself: "I must not give up!" ”

He himself had promised Senior Sister Qiyu that he would not give up cultivation in the future, he clenched his fists and secretly made up his mind, saying, "Even if all my hard work is turned to ashes, I can't just admit defeat!" ”

In this way, in the eyes of others, although Lin Xiaoyi was doing chores and tiring work that belonged to the lowest disciples on Chi Yue Peak, he still did not give up his cultivation in private, as long as he had free time, he would follow the Taoist mantra of the "Zhou Tian" level, and practice silently and secretly.

In the practice of external skills, he did not relax in the slightest, in the interval of chores, he often came to the West Mountain behind Chiyue Peak alone, and tried his best to split this "stalagmite pillar" from the middle, although more often, he suffered the pain of broken palms and bleeding.

This time, as usual, he still came to the outer martial arts cultivation place in the back mountain alone, everything here he was already familiar with, and in the past four years, he had come here almost every day, doing the external martial arts cultivation that a new beginner disciple had to go through.

The mountains are full of bamboo, layered on top of each other, making people see no end.

The bamboo forest that is green like jade, covering the sky and the sun, the whole valley is more deep and quiet, the mountain breeze comes slowly, only to see the bamboo forest dancing and dancing, swaying and colorful, such as the blue waves and clear waves, it is intoxicating to look at.

Lin Xiaoyi took a deep breath of the fresh air in the mountains, and came to the place where he usually works, the "stalagmite pillar" in front of him is still standing in the depths of the bamboo shade, only to see the surrounding green smoke and haze, the clear air floats, and the mist shrouded in the bamboo forest all the year round is like a light veil, drifting around, and from time to time there are dewdrops on the bamboo leaves dripping on Lin Xiaoyi's body, wetting his hair and shoulders.

At this time, he was already a sixteen-year-old young man!

And for all these beautiful scenery in front of him, Lin Xiaoyi has long been accustomed to it, his eyes are only staring at the opposite "stalagmite pillar", the pillar is covered with moss, is standing there quietly, it is said to have been ten thousand years old.

Can it really be split with human hands?

At this moment, Lin Xiaoyi's heart was suspicious, he couldn't believe that he could really smash it, but if he couldn't do this, and couldn't break through the second level of this external cultivation, then would he never have a future and hope in his cultivation?

He let out a long breath, glanced at the stone pillar a few times, and then thought of the oath he had made before, "Even if all my efforts are reduced to ashes, I can't just admit defeat!" ”

Only then did I know that all my worries were so ridiculous, since I had made up my mind, what did I care?

Keep practicing!

No matter what the end result is!

He raised his left hand and aimed it at the top of the stone pillar and slashed it down hard, once and twice, until his hands became numb with pain again, and the dull sound of his palms touching the stone echoed in the depths of the bamboo forest.

When Lin Xiaoyi was concentrating on splitting the "stalagmite pillar" with both hands, there were suddenly two strange "creak" sounds, as if something was about to break out of the shell, and a trace of inexplicable doubt flashed in his mind, I don't know where this strange sound came from?

Could it be that I heard it wrong, but I really heard it just now!

And it seems to be happening right next to me, what is it that is so weird?

Without waiting for Lin Xiaoyi to think about it, he had already found that there was a trace of abnormality on the "stalagmite pillar" that he had just chopped with his palm, and this stone pillar had actually cracked a crack in the middle!

Before Lin Xiaoyi could figure out what was going on, this natural stone pillar that had been standing for 10,000 years seemed to have been suddenly struck by lightning, and with a "snap", it shattered, split into two halves, and fell in front of him one left and one right.

This time, it was Lin Xiaoyi's turn to be dumbfounded, he looked at the "stalagmite pillar" that fell to the ground in a daze, before, although he had imagined this situation countless times in his mind, but when it really came, it was still so unbelievable.

Could it be that he really has some kind of magical power that is incomprehensible?

Can you really break through the so-called level of Dao cultivation?

He looked at his hands, although he still felt some pain, but he couldn't care about these anymore, clapped his two hands, jumped up wildly, and then, ran down the mountain in a puff of smoke, shuttling through the forest quickly, he was going to tell the others around him immediately, he Lin Xiaoyi could finally break through the bottleneck of cultivation one day!

Then, in the foreseeable near future, he will also make achievements in his cultivation, and he will no longer be a disciple who is ignored and inferior!

He ran wildly and frantically through the mountains, startling the birds deep in the woods, which fluttered and spread their wings and flew among the bamboo trees.

However, after a few moments, the silence in the bamboo forest returned.

Only a gentle breeze blew, making a rustling sound among the bamboo leaves.
