Xia Kucao heard all the senior brothers discussing: "This summit is a little more interesting, and I heard that new disciples will also participate in it. ”

"But they've only been practicing for eight years, and if you count them, won't it hold everyone back? ”

"What are you talking about, since you have entered this sect, you are brothers and sisters with the same spirit, how can you be regarded as a drag?"

"That's it, but it's also the same reason, in previous years, it was our club lineage that won the first place for three consecutive years, I don't know how this time. ”

"How can it be the same in previous years, in previous years, the head of the sect was still our senior brother, his practice is naturally the first, and now that he has succeeded to the head, he will not fight again. ”

"So what's the matter, compared to the newcomers, we also have an advantage, we have an advantage, we get one, and we are also the head of the family, since we deserve to be the true inheritance of the head, why not be afraid of being surpassed by the sidelines. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, I forgot about this, now there is indeed only one head disciple cultivating in my Great Chifeng. ”

"Don't worry, we will definitely win the championship again this time, and we will be the first in the four pulses. ”

"How can you criticize the four veins exercises, you must know that the four veins are different, each has its own advantages, can not be compared, let alone superior, the purpose of the summit is to gather with the four veins, the disciples in the mountains to learn martial arts to enhance the feelings between the brothers and sisters of the various veins, and urge each other to make progress together, our four veins are not falling apart, but the same qi and branches, the friendship of brothers, behind the back, to receive punishment. Suddenly, a man stepped out from behind them, and his words made sense.

Xia Kucao looked at the man dressed in white, with a brown hollow hair crown on his head, a silver hairpin inserted in the middle, and only two white streamers behind him, but a full bundle of hair, which looked capable and concise, and this hairstyle was extremely challenging for the face shape.

This senior brother seems to be able to control this full bundle of hair with ease, and his facial features are also extremely regular and distinctive, and his expression is serious and slightly majestic.

Zhen Changjun stepped forward politely, bowed slightly and hugged his fists: "It's rare to see Longwojun make this long speech, but every sentence is the essence, and the summit is extremely thorough. ”

Seeing that it was Zhen Changjun, Longwojun hurriedly replied: "Let the senior brother see the joke, it is the junior brother who has no way to teach, so that the disciples can talk at will." ”

"Where, although it is said to be for the purpose of enhancing feelings, but if you want to reach a consensus on common progress, you must have a competition, not to mention the level of exercises, the length of the advantage, but in a certain aspect of the defeat is also the norm, and this point will only work if you have the constraints of the competition system.

If the four pulses do not do their best, they will also lose the meaning of the summit, and it will be difficult to achieve the purpose of holding the summit.

Long Wojun smiled and nodded in agreement: "What Senior Brother said is reasonable, the competition system is an incentive, and only by growing together can we achieve a win-win situation." ”

Xia Kucao looked at Zhen Changjun in surprise, he seemed to be gentle and elegant on weekdays, and he never thought that he could make such an impassioned speech, and he was really the first disciple of Yuanjue, extraordinary, with unique insights, which made people have to be convinced.

Xia Kucao entered the library and asked in a low voice, "Senior brother, it has been eight years since I entered the mountain?"

Zhen Changjun nodded in surprise: "You don't know?"

Xia Kucao frowned and sighed: "It's over, time flies, I'm an old girl of twenty-six years old this time, you see I've been messy all day long, and I haven't learned any exercises, senior brother, you say, can I not participate in the summit?"

Zhen Changjun smiled: "So you are worried about your age? This summit you will see many senior sisters who are 100 years older than you, you see how their faces have changed, you, although the focus is not on the exercises, but the books in the Library Pavilion have been read by you in the past eight years, such an achievement, it is really remarkable." ”

Xia Kucao pouted in confusion: "Isn't the summit a competition to test the exercises of each pulse, what is the use of reading more books, there is no one in this book that teaches me exercises." ”

"Self is useful, there is a golden house in the book, there is Yan Ruyu in the book, you are full of poetry and books, in order to lay a good foundation for your next step, cultivation is not overnight, and you don't have to fight for this overnight, in the past eight years, your body has reached the point of refining into steel, and you also have the ability to see ten elements, if you are solid as gold, it will be effortless to digest in the future. Zhen Changjun taught carefully and told the story.

Xia Kucao nodded as if she didn't understand: "Is it the same for senior brother to enter the mountain?"

Zhen Changjun shook his head: "Everyone's situation is different, I am still young when I entered the mountain, and the master said that my bones are strange, so he took me into the door, and I practiced with the master while learning to write like you." ”

Xia Kucao sighed: "I guessed that this is the case, the master must think that I am stupid and have no skills, so he refuses to teach me the exercises." ”

Zhen Changjun smiled: "If that's the case, after eight years, do you still think you're stupid? You should prove it to the master, you are talented, you have a lively mind, you have a strong jump, and you can comprehend quickly, as long as you let him believe it, then you will not be far from the day when you practice the exercises." ”

Xia Kucao seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, she nodded fiercely and said, "Senior brother, what you said is right, even if I am stupid, as long as I don't give up and persevere, I will definitely be able to catch up with those who have basic exercises." ”

"Senior brother, can't I really not attend the summit?"

"No, everyone has a share in the disciples of the Immaculate Mountain. ”

"Ah......h

Xia Kucao returned to the light sound platform listlessly, and with every step he took, his mood was heavy, and he didn't know how Zixuan and the others had been in the past eight years, whether the exercises had advanced by leaps and bounds, and had reached the point of being unfathomable.

It's nice to see them, but wouldn't it be a laugh at them if they knew that she hadn't made any progress like she had eight years ago?

The air was filled with the helpless sigh of summer grass, Shi Hanshui's fingers moved slightly and opened her eyes, and she came back.

In front of the cliff of the back mountain, he had been waiting for her for a long time.

Xia Kucao lowered her head, depressed, and when she walked to the cliff, she found that the master was already waiting for her, she quickly trotted two steps forward and said respectfully: "Master, the disciple is back." ”

"Well, let's go in!" Shi Hanshui is still cold, eight years like a day, has not changed, he waved his hand, the cold spring cave mouth opened.

Prunella soaked in the cold spring, there is no longer the original cold feeling, but I feel that the water is soft and comfortable, I think the body has completely merged with the cold spring, and every pore of the body is absorbing.

"Master, can I ask you something?" Xia Kucao bared her little head and looked at the stone cold waterway meditating on the ice bed.

"What's the matter?" Shi Hanshui closed his eyes and never opened them.

Xia Wither was entangled: "Can I not attend the summit?"

The air was quiet, and Xia Kucao didn't dare to blink when she looked at Shi Hanshui, for fear of missing his slightly different expression, which was too rare.

"Did Zhen Changjun tell you today?" Shi Hanshui lightly opened his lips, but did not answer her words directly.

Xia Kucao was so disappointed that she cried and said, "I asked my senior brother, and my senior brother said that everyone has to participate, but, Master, if I participate, won't I be holding back the club?"

"The four-pulse summit has a long history, it is the rule set by the patriarchs of the opening school, although the summit has the momentum of winning glory for the main vein among the disciples, but the first thing is to pass on the energy and enhance the martial arts under the premise of feelings, the new disciples of each vein have participated, you don't need to have too much pressure, the skills are not as good as people are naturally going to lose, you usually accept it calmly. "Shi Hanshui said it so easily.

Xia Kucao couldn't be calm, she was very aggrieved, and muttered pitifully: "Is it useless for the master to let the apprentice perform on stage?"

"It seems that you have not grown in the past eight years, and you have been sleepless all night tonight copying "On the Outside of the Body". ”

Xia Kucao immediately shut up, the book "Theory of Outside the Body" was a book she had memorized five years ago, and she still remembered that sentence:

"If you use gossip as a weapon to hurt people, it means that you have not evolved, if you are hurt by gossip, it means that your glass heart has not been healed, and having a glass heart requires you to have the ability to protect your glass heart, if not, please break your glass heart, pour your glass into magma cement, let your heart become steel and copper, all wind and rain will no longer be wind and rain, but the driving force that inspires you to move forward. ”

Xia Kucao is still copying "On the Outside of the Body" in a muddy way, but people are human beings after all, if they all have an impregnable heart as mentioned in this book, and are not hurt by the world, wouldn't they become a saint like the master?

How many people in this world can become saints like Master?

Early the next morning, when there was still half of the "Theory of the Outside of the Body" still unfinished, Xia Kucao sighed and took the "Theory of the Outside of the Body" into the cold spring, placed a wooden board in the cold spring, put the "Theory of the Outside of the Body" away, and worked hard to maintain balance and continue to copy.

Shi Hanshui didn't know when he was already sitting on the ice bed, and Xia Kucao inadvertently looked up and saw him, startled.

Shi Hanshui knew that she was looking at him, so he opened his eyes and said, "What should I do if I am subdued by someone on the stage?"

Xia Kucao raised his eyes, thought seriously for a moment, and shook his head: "The disciple is not such an easy person to admit defeat, three moves, if I fall, I will definitely take him three moves, otherwise it will be undignified." ”

"You can't teach it, it seems that you haven't copied this external theory yet, ten times, and show it to me tomorrow. Shi Hanshui closed his eyes after speaking.

"Huh?" Xia Kucao was frightened and dissatisfied, she stood up with a snort, realizing that it was really disrespectful for the table to be turned over, and squatted down again, held the table steady, and looked at Shi Hanshui with her head held high:

"Master, the disciple is not convinced, the disciple feels that he is not wrong, although I have no exercises, but I have an arrogance, and I can't accept a move to subdue me. ”

"Okay, then let me ask you, what if you are subdued in three moves on stage?"

"If you catch him with three moves, it is at least respect for him, if he has advanced exercises, he will also be complacent, if he has average exercises, it will also be an encouragement, if he wins me with one move, won't it make him feel very unfulfilled?"
