Chapter 6: The Trial of the Descent (1)
After Fu Fei left, Feng Li poked his head out from behind the stone tablet and shouted to the bottom of the stone steps, "Senior brother! I am here. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
After a while, Bai Ji appeared in front of her and said anxiously, "Why are you hiding here and not making a sound?" It's hard for me to find. He jumped off his sword and recited the mantra to put it back in its scabbard. Then he squatted on the ground and looked at Fengli who was sitting on the ground. "Why are you crying?" Over the years in Shushan, no matter how she was punished and reprimanded, she had never seen a single tear.
Feng Li glanced at him and pointed to the bridge not far from him, and said in his heart, It's not all your fault.
He said with a smile: "Senior sister is so afraid of heights." Didn't you cry all night on this? The eyes were red and swollen. I thought that if she was very afraid, she would go down the mountain and beg him for a different punishment, but she underestimated her stubborn nature, but she didn't expect to cry like a rabbit and refuse to go down the mountain.
How did Bai Qi know that Fengli was not crying because she was afraid of heights, she was the joy of the rest of her life after the catastrophe. But at this time, she couldn't explain it, if she said that she had walked half of the wooden bridge but fell down because of the broken planks, then how to explain who rescued her? This is not in vain to confess Fu Peng. So he changed the topic and said, "Why did Senior Brother come up to look for me?" ”
"I was discussing with my master and eldest brother in the main hall, and suddenly noticed that there was something wrong in the back mountain, although the qi of the demon clan had been deliberately restrained, but it could still be perceived. Master and eldest brother went to inspect the Demon Lock Tower, and I was worried that you would be attacked and came to look for you. Do you see anyone else here? Bai Qi put away her smiling face and asked seriously.
Feng Li was shocked, demonic energy? Who is the Devil? It's just him and her here, could he... He... Is he a demon? No, it won't! He is her savior, and he has also saved Aunt Fan. Maybe there are other places in the back mountain that have entered the demon clan, and I don't know?
"Senior sister? Sister? Bai Qi stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her eyes, looked at her in a daze, and called a few times.
"Huh? What the? "Fengli came back to his senses
"I ask you, do you see anyone else here? What are you in a daze? ”
"No... Nope. I was just thinking that in the morning, Elder Suochen was invited to discuss the matter, and in the afternoon, there were people from the demon clan who haunted the back mountain of Shushan. Could it be that what the elders are discussing has something to do with the demons? "Regardless of whether Fu Fei is a demon or not, he has saved her many times, but she can't confess him.
When Bai Qian heard this, he reached out and knocked on her forehead, and said with a smile: "I only made you cry stupidly, but I didn't expect the little head to be so bright." It's good if we don't see it, let's go back first. ”
Back in Shushan, Bai Qi first sent Fengli back to the disciple's residence, and then said to her, "You have a good rest, I have taken leave with the elders on your behalf for the past few days." Tomorrow morning, after breakfast, I will come to the Precept Pavilion. ”
Feng Li's face immediately collapsed when he heard this, what? Still going? I thought that this punishment was over, but she almost paid for it with her life.
Bai Qi looked at her collapsed little face, raised a smile, took out an herb from her arms, handed it to her, and said, "Don't be afraid, the punishment has been revealed." I picked the Nine Dead Soul Grass by the way when I was looking for you, and I will send it to Elder Su Mu later, this one is for you, haven't you always wanted to? ”
"Thank you, brother." Fengli took the herbs, but she was not happy at all. What had happened in the morning had made her a little uneasy, and hearing about the Precept Pavilion was even more upset. She's been going to be good for a while now, and she doesn't want to go to that place anymore.
"Master, his old man has something to tell you, and you will know when you go early tomorrow morning. Don't worry, now freshen up and go to rest, I have asked Sister Xiaozi to prepare hot water in the bathroom. With that, he pushed her into the room, closed the door, and turned to leave.
Fengli in the room found a wooden basin with dirt to carry the herbs back into the soil, and then sat down at the table and pondered. With so much happening in two days, she was a little overwhelmed. First Elder Suoyang left the Discipline Pavilion, and then the benefactor who had been looking for many years suddenly appeared, but now this benefactor may be a demon? Although I subconsciously denied it just now, I really have a lot of doubts when I think about it carefully.
First of all, he is not from Shushan. She hadn't seen him in Shushan for six years, and she hadn't heard of his name. Secondly, he will fly in the air, if the immortal cultivators of other sects mistakenly break into the forbidden land of Shu Mountain, but after all, he saved himself, presumably Elder Suoyang will not be embarrassed by him. However, looking at him, it seems that he doesn't want to see other people in Shushan. If it is a demon, then what is his purpose in coming to Shushan? It can't be just to save her, right? But he also said that if she was in trouble, he would come. Thinking of this, Feng Li's mind appeared with that cold face again, and his little face was slightly hot and secretly spit on himself, he was stunned when he looked at his face six years ago, and now he is still so ingrowable. patted his cheek and thought to himself, but if he came to save her, how did he know that she was in danger?
Thinking of this, Feng Li stood up with a bang and muttered, "No, no." She was getting more and more curious about him. She had a myriad of questions, and she really wanted to arrest him right away and ask them about it. But he didn't say how to find him, he wanted to see him again unless he was in danger again, but how did she know when her next life would be. She can't jump off the cliff again, if he doesn't come, she's dead. She sighed in frustration and slowly sat back down, after this time she would only cherish her little life even more. What can be done to make him feel that she is dangerous without really threatening her life?
Fengli pondered and meditated and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, yes, she knows water. Not only will it be but the water is excellent, so you might be able to give it a try by pretending to be drowning. But the water is too shallow to do it, and there is no authenticity. But there is no sea near here, and you can't try it within the boundary of Shushan. Today, she asked Elder Suoyang if the matter they were discussing was related to the Demon Clan, and Senior Brother did not deny it. If he is really a demon, wouldn't it hurt him to be attracted by her? Although Shushan takes it as her mission to eliminate demons, she will not eliminate demons, she will only save her life. Besides, even if he is a demon, she has never seen him harm, but he has been kind to her. So this matter still needs to be considered in the long run, anyway, she already has a solution.
After everything was straightened out, she breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly felt that she was tired and hungry, and was getting up to freshen up first. But I heard a rush of footsteps, and then there was a knock on the door, and a woman's voice came from outside the door, "Xiaoli, Xiaoli, are you there?" Senior Brother Bai said you are back." Fengli opened the door and saw Xiao Zi at the door, with pear blossoms and rain on her face.
Fengli was a little moved, except for Uncle Mu in the entire Shushan, only Xiao Zi really cared about her. Xiao Zi's full name is Fei Zi, and it is said that she is the youngest daughter of a big clan family and has been sick since she was a child. Because the elders of the family have some relationship with the head of the family, they were admitted to Shushan to recuperate and learn medical skills by the way. Speaking of which, she has some similarities with her, neither of them is an outlier who has passed the assessment to get started, the difference is that she is a formal introductory disciple, while Xiao Zi is only in name.
Fengli stretched out her hand and wiped her crying little face and said, "What are you crying about?" I didn't die, I just blew the cold wind on the mountain all night, and I was fine. Unexpectedly, her hands were not clean, and this little Zizi's face was even more flowery, and she almost didn't laugh when she looked at that little flower face.
"You didn't come back overnight, and I didn't dare to go to the Discipline Pavilion to find someone. I couldn't wait for you after lunch, but I waited for Senior Brother Bai Qian, who asked me to prepare hot water for you, but didn't say where you were. I was anxious to think that you had been severely punished. Xiao Zi looked at this wind glass carefully, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that there were really no external injuries on her body.
"Look at your dirty body, come with me and wash yourself." With that, he pulled the wind glass and walked to the bathroom. When the two of them stood in front of the bronze mirror, one of the people in the mirror was covered in dust, and the hair on his head was loose like a bird's nest, and the other had tears on his face, so he was not embarrassed. The two of them finally couldn't help but laugh.
Feng Li, who was in the bath, told Xiao Zi about what happened in the past two days, but he still didn't mention Fu Fei. Suddenly, she thought of herself in the mirror. Oh, my God! It won't be like this in front of him! She covered her blushing face and lowered her head into the hot water.
Early the next morning, Fengli rushed to the precept after breakfast. When she arrived, Bai Qi was already waiting for her at the door, but he was smiling but he saw that she was creepy, and he didn't know what was going on with her today.
"Senior Brother Bai Qi is early." She obediently stepped forward to say hello.
Bai Qi smiled and said, "I'm still wondering if I should call you in person." It's not too late today, not bad. With a teachable face, he nodded and said, "Master is already waiting for you inside, go in." With that, he turned sideways to give way to her.
Fengli saw that he didn't mean to be with her, and asked, "Aren't you going in?" ”。
Bai Qi said, "I still have a lot of things to do today, you can go by yourself." ”
She was a little uneasy, it was the first time that such a formal summons had been made, usually Bai Qi was directly responsible for receiving the punishment, and she had no contact with this elder, calling her today, wouldn't it be that Su Mu refused to forgive her and wanted to expel her from Shushan, right?
She walked into the grid while thinking wildly, and when she arrived at the door of the main hall, she saw Suo Chen sitting in the hall, wearing a white robe and a crown and her hair tied up, and her face was resolute and not angry. Feng Li didn't dare to look at him, walked into the hall with his head down, bowed respectfully, and said, "Disciple, Feng Li greets Elder Suochen." ”
"Excuse me." A deep voice sounded in the hall, and the wind trembled. Seeing her worried little face, Suo Chen eased his voice and said, "I already know about Elder Su Mu the day before yesterday, although you are at fault first, but Bai Qi's punishment is also unfair. The "mountain bridge" has not been walked for more than 100 years, and the wood on the bridge is rotten, and if it is under heavy pressure, it will break, and the consequences are unimaginable. ”
Feng Li nodded again and again when he heard this, and his heart was worthy of being an elder of the precepts, and he was really discerning.
"You climbed the stone steps for half a day and suffered a night of wind chills on them, and this is the end of the punishment. Recently, the disciples who have been one of your years old are going down the mountain to go down the mountain to practice, so it just so happens that you should also go down the mountain with them. “
The first time a disciple of Shushan went down the mountain to experience was the first ten years after the entry, and the time of the experience was limited to half a year, and this experience was very important, because after returning to the mountain, he should choose one of the three courses according to his own experience. But she's not even ten years old. Feng Li panicked, although she only had the best healing technique in her schoolwork for so many years, she had never made any big mistakes. Why did you suddenly let her go down the mountain, did you really want to expel her from the school?
She suddenly knelt down, raised her eyes to look at the people seat, and said seriously, "Elder Suochen, I know that I have not made much progress in swordsmanship and formation for so many years, and I often make the elders angry. I really know that I was wrong, and I will change it in the future, and I will never make the elders angry again. I will work hard to learn swordsmanship and formation spells, and I will never be lazy again. Please don't let me leave Shushan. ”
Before Suochen could speak, there was a hearty laugh outside the hall, "Oh, niece, are you really repentant?" ”
The person who came was Mu Xunfeng, who had been out for more than four months, Fengli saw that his face turned red, and he suddenly lost the momentum just now, and said sneeringly, "Uncle Mu, Fengli really knows that he is wrong." ”
Mu Xunfeng picked her up with one hand and said to Suo Chen, "Senior brother, you see that you scared my niece." It's a good thing, how can it change its taste when it comes out of your mouth? “
