Chapter 2 Conversations

The moonlight is like water, gently sprinkled on the ground through the window, like the frost of winter, and as if the ground is covered with a layer of mercury, white as water. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe breeze blew and shook the trees outside the window, and the sound was endless.

Tianming is sitting cross-legged on the bed at the moment, looking at everything outside the window stupidly,

The bright moonlight and the dappled shadows of the trees seem to be a strange world. Occasionally, there is a slight pleasant sound of insects chirping and unknown birds.

Everything was so beautiful, Tianming only felt that his heart was very calm, and he was deeply intoxicated.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door, waking Tianming from his intoxication.

Immediately, Lin Zhongzi's voice came, "Tianming, are you resting?" ”

Suddenly, Tianming's eyes pulled back from the dark night outside the window.

"Ah, me, I haven't rested yet. Come in, Master. Tianming replied.

"Crunch", Lin Zhongzi gently pushed the door in, with a hint of a smile on his face.

The bright moonlight followed him into the room, reflected in the room, and also reflected on Lin Zhongzi's body, covering him with a silver coat, and also making him look more approachable.

Tianming's room is extremely simple, with a wood-colored table in the middle, on which is a half-turned copy of the Tao Te Ching, which is probably unfinished, and a candle that has not yet been burned. Underneath the table is a stool. Other than that, there is only one bed.

In fact, not only Tianming, but also the rooms of the disciples who practiced in Kunwu Mountain, most of them were like this, except for a few necessities of life, they basically had nothing to grow.

Gain Taoism emphasizes self-cultivation and self-realization. Therefore, life is mostly hard, so as not to delay the practice because of enjoyment.

Tianming saw Lin Zhongzi and was shocked. Lin Zhongzi actually rarely came to his room, could it be that today's incident in the back mountain was known by the master? Tianming thought secretly.

Although he was anxious, he couldn't lose his etiquette, and was about to get up and salute, Lin Zhongzi saw him move, waved his hand, signaling that he didn't have to get up, Tianming didn't get up, but he didn't do it cross-legged, but sat on the edge of the bed with his legs. Raising his head, he waited quietly for Lin Zhongzi to speak.

Who knew that Lin Zhongzi just glanced at him lightly, then slowly paced to the window, looked out of the window, and then said: "Listen to your uncle, you went to the back mountain with Yu Feng again today?" ”

Tianming and Secret Dao were not good, but I didn't expect to be guessed by myself, so I had to answer truthfully: "Yes, the disciple felt that cultivation was boring today, and he was a little tired, so he and Senior Brother Feng went to the back mountain." Please punish Master. After saying that, he lowered his head and didn't dare to look up at Lin Zhongzi again.

Lin Zhongzi didn't answer, Tianming didn't dare to speak, and the whole room was suddenly quiet, only the slight "crackling" sound of burning candles and the chirping of insects and birds outside the window.

This melodious-sounding chirp on weekdays made Tianming feel irritated at the moment, and he lowered his head silently, as if waiting for the punishment of fate. Although Master loves himself very much on weekdays, he is also quite strict with himself, and he is afraid that he will not be able to escape today's punishment.

After a long time, Tianming's voice came from Lin Zhongzi's ears, "Tianming, how long have you been under my door?" ”

"Huh?" Tianming was a little surprised, he didn't expect Lin Zhongzi to suddenly change the topic. But he still said honestly: "Back to Master's words, the disciple has been in the business for ten years. ”

"It's been ten years, and time is so fast." Lin Zhongzi sighed. Immediately, he asked again, "What level of cultivation have you reached?" ”

"The disciple just cultivated to the fifth layer this year." Tianming replied.

"Although it is ten years, but we also have to remove two or three years of ignorance, and it is only seven or eight years, such a short period of time to cultivate from the first layer to the fifth layer. Even when you were a teacher, you were not as good as you. You're talented, but you're a little playful. You must know that the human race and the demon race have a long-standing grudge for thousands of years, and maybe one day there will be another war. After all, this world depends on your generation to protect it. Do you understand the good intentions of being a teacher? ”

Tianming raised his head a little dazedly and looked at Lin Zhongzi, his eyes full of confusion. He is only ten years old, and he really doesn't know much about the relationship between the shemale clan, and he doesn't know it.

Lin Zhongzi listened to his silence, and also knew that he was still young at the moment, and it was too early to tell him this, so he said self-deprecatingly: "How could I tell you this? ”

Then he turned to look at Tianming and said, "You are still young now, and you will understand when you grow up a little more." ”

Tianming nodded, but still looked at Lin Zhongzi, it was obvious that he still didn't understand.

But Lin Zhongzi changed the topic again and no longer let him delve into it, "These **** secretly went to the back mountain with Yu Feng and them during the cultivation time, and they will not be held accountable as teachers." Even if you go to play with them in the future, I can not restrain you。。。。。。 ”

Hearing this, Tianming's eyes lit up. After all, it is still a child's heart, with no responsibility in his heart and no worries. In his eyes, boring cultivation is far less fun than playing with children of the same age.

"However, you have to ensure that you can get the first place in the four major competitions in eight years, and you can't be lazy because the teacher will always keep an eye on your cultivation progress. I heard that this time the other three factions have genius disciples who are rare in a thousand years, so you have to work hard. In the past few hundred years, the first place in the four great competitions has been sent by me, and it can't be broken with you. Lin Zhongzi said after a pause.

When the words fell, Lin Zhongzi looked at Tianming earnestly, and a glimmer of light in Tianming's eyes disappeared, it turned out that this was Lin Zhongzi's purpose.

Although Lin Zhongzi's conditions were very tempting, Tianming was still afraid that he would not be able to complete it, so he didn't dare to agree easily, "Master, you still have senior brothers, their cultivation is far better than mine, and there are also senior brothers Yu Feng." His cultivation is also higher than mine, why is it me? ”

Lin Zhongzi seemed to have guessed that Tianming would ask this question, and he was not surprised, and said with a smile: "Not everyone can participate in these four big competitions, your senior brother and they have already participated once, according to the rules, they can't participate again." As for Yu Feng, that kid's talent is indeed good, but he is a little too playful, and his talent is indeed not as good as yours, so the greatest expectation for a teacher is still you. ”

"Ah, I see." Tianming suddenly realized. He really didn't know that this so-called four-door competition still had such rules.

"That's why I have high hopes for you." Lin Zhongzi Road.

Tianming didn't answer, but he knew that he had no way to refute it anymore, so he just nodded.

Seeing Tianming nodding in agreement, Lin Zhongzi smiled even more and said, "Then let's just say it." ”

Tianming said: "Well, it's just that I don't know if I can live up to the master's trust." ”

Lin Zhongzi said: "Teachers believe in you, don't you still believe in yourself?" ”

"By the way, according to your senior brother, you've been having nightmares a lot lately, haven't you?" Lin Zhongzi said with concern.

"Yes, disciples often dream of vicious grimaces, blood and bones recently, and I don't know what's going on." When Tianming heard Lin Zhongzi ask, he thought of the nightmare he had recently, and he also had a look of fear on his face.

Lin Zhongzi's expression moved, as if he had thought of something, but he didn't say it. He just comforted: "Maybe it's because you've been too impatient in your cultivation lately, so you don't have to take it to heart." These **** don't need to cultivate, walk around the mountains, the world can say that our faction is a fairyland on earth, you can go for a good walk, and it will be good in a few days. ”

"Well, the disciple knows." Tianming couldn't stop nodding, in his heart, not having to cultivate was the best reward.

Seeing Tianming's unconcealed joy, Lin Zhongzi smiled: "It's not early, you should rest early." ”

"Hmm." Tianming nodded.

Immediately, Lin Zhongzi turned around and walked out of the room.

Walking into the courtyard, Lin Zhongzi looked up and saw a cold moon, hanging high in the sky. Suddenly, he thought of the nightmare that Tianming told him just now, his face changed, and he said in his heart: "It seems that there is another secret to what happened back then." ”

######

The splendid palace, with corpses lying everywhere, blood spilled all over the ground, staining the ground red. Suddenly, the corpses on the ground suddenly stood up, turned into vicious ghosts, and pounced on him.

"Ahh

He screamed and woke up.

Tianming sat up from the bed, panting heavily, his forehead covered with sweat. He had nightmares again, and he was still terrified.

In the early morning, a ray of sunlight sprinkled on the bed through the window, bathing in the morning sun, which calmed his mood a little. It's just that the scene is really terrifying, and he is only a ten-year-old child, so it is inevitable that he will have palpitations.

Before long, footsteps were heard outside the door. Immediately, I heard a low voice of concern: "Little junior brother, what's wrong." Is it another nightmare? ”

Hearing this familiar voice, Tianming must have come back to his senses and said, "Senior brother, I'm fine, I'm worried about you." I'm afraid it will disturb your morning practice again. ”

The man outside the door heard the answer from the sky, and then he put his mind at ease and said with a smile: "It's okay." Since you're fine, junior brother, I'll go first. ”

"Okay, big brother." Tianming also replied.
