The north penalty mountain is upside down, and in a blink of an eye, half a month has passed, everyone has settled down, and the days have passed peacefully, so bleak that it seems that there is no longer a trace of waves.

Yuntang came back from the mountain again, and he still habitually went back to Rongkue Pavilion first. Before entering the gate of Rongkue Pavilion, he was shocked by the chaotic scene in front of him.

Bian Zi squatted on the big stone gate while he was high, and there was a circle of maids and disciples from the north under the stone gate, but everyone cowered and did not dare to step forward. After looking closely, I found that it was a cow guarding under the stone gate, and it kept stepping on its hooves and spewing air to demonstrate against the upper side.

Bian Zi took advantage of his anger and scolded the group of male disciples below: "Are you blind? If you don't pull it away for me, you can use a strong one! ”

A male disciple cautiously spoke: "Senior brother, you also know how much Your Excellency connived at this cow, and he was reluctant to bolt it on weekdays, and you didn't dare to hurt it, and we didn't dare to hurt it." Otherwise, senior brother, you can let it top it......"

"Shut up! Is it true that Master is getting older and more confused! How can I offer a broken cow as a treasure, and I am her eldest disciple, it is not as good as a cow! ”

Yun Tang couldn't help but smile, and stepped forward to push aside the group of disciples: "Senior brother, if you dare to say bad things about the master, beware of the master punishing you." ”

Bian Zi took advantage of seeing Yun Tang, and his tone instantly softened: "Senior sister, you are finally back, don't talk about punishing me, a while ago in the tomb, the master punished me for copying ten times, she actually remembered this thing when she came back, and asked me to copy the share of Senior Sister Qinghuan!" I'm recruiting someone to provoke someone, and the cow raised by the master doesn't look at me well, and every time he sees me, he has to push me up, can this Rongkue Pavilion still live! ”

"Master has not had any hobbies for so many years, and finally he has fallen in love with raising cows, although cows are indeed ...... Senior brother, you can be tolerant, isn't it okay to make Master happy? ”

"Senior sister, I beg you, go and find the master to save me, the master is in the dormitory, with Uncle Rong Huai."

Yun Tang smiled: "Okay, I'll go to the master now." ”

"Okay, okay, go and come back quickly!" Bian Zi nodded with a smile, and the cow below suddenly "mooed" heavily, he subconsciously shrank his neck, and looked at the cow with palpitations.

In the main hall in the dormitory, Nan Yang and Rong Huai sat at opposite ends, and Rong Huai's little apprentice Qianmi pestered Nan Yang and hugged her. As soon as Nan Yang picked up Qianmi, Qianmi stretched out two short arms to hug Nan Yang's neck and kissed her face.

Rong Huai said with a smile while drinking tea: "This little ghost is still so virtuous, so he is close to you and light ...... Ahem, she likes you very much, it seems that I should consider transferring Chiya to you as an apprentice. ”

Nan Yang pressed Qianmi's little head, took out a handkerchief and wiped the saliva off his face: "Senior brother said that I don't want to take care of children anymore." ”

"Speaking of accepting apprentices, you left the Northern Punishment before the Sword Trial Conference ended, so you may not know that the Sword Trial Conference selected three very good disciples. Shizun is planning to give one to each of the three of us, and leave a female disciple for you, who is extremely talented, and can be regarded as the best qualification of the younger generation of the Northern Punishment. Find a day to let her come to the formal apprenticeship and live in the Rongkue Pavilion. ”

“…… New disciples? Nan Yang frowned, and was kissed by Qianya Bar in her arms unexpectedly, she reluctantly continued to wipe her face and said, "I didn't say that I wanted to accept new apprentices." I don't have any free time to teach my apprentices lately, so my brother will help me refuse. ”

Rong Huai shook his head in embarrassment: "I'm afraid this won't work, the master's order is basically a certainty." Besides, that kid is not very old, and such qualifications are a bit tyrannical in Hongfei Pavilion. Senior brother is now busy assisting Shizun in handling the affairs of the door, and I still have a little Qianmi to take care of, so I can't stuff it for you. ”

"Senior brother, you also know that I have the Huangquan Gu ...... in my body," Nan Yang's voice became low.

"Regarding the matter of Huangquan Gu, Nan Yang, have you been poisoned in the past ten days? When I saw you today, I felt that your complexion had actually returned to normal, as if there was no sign of being hit by the Gu. ”

Nan Yang raised his palm and looked at it: "Half a month ago, the Gu line in the palm of my hand had begun to slowly disappear, and now it is almost gone. But how could it ......?"

Rong Huai put down the teacup in his hand, stretched out his hand and grabbed the hair of Qianmi, who was probing his brain: "This is actually very easy to think, Huangquan Gu's mother Gu is in the Burning Heaven Gate, and your little apprentice is also in the Burning Heaven Gate now, it is very easy for her to save you." Maybe she cut off her relationship with you just to go back to the Burning Heaven Gate to save you? ”

"So what." The corners of Nanyang's lips hooked, and he pinched Qianmi's face, "I have nothing to do with her anymore." ”

"In that case, you have a long life, and don't waste it. You can accept this apprentice, and ask her to come to Rongkue Pavilion in the afternoon to worship the teacher. Rong Huai smiled and hugged Qianmi over and asked her to sit down on his lap, "By the way, her name is Shaoxiu." ”

“…… Okay. Nan Yang lowered his eyes and compromised.

Yun Tang happened to come in at this time, and saluted Rong Huai and Nan Yang: "I've seen Uncle Rong Huai, Master." ”

"Yuntang, you're back." Rong Huai nodded politely at her, "It's almost time for me to go, take Qianmi back to Banglang Pavilion first, and we'll meet another day." ”

Rong Huai hugged Qianmi on his shoulders and walked out of the dormitory. Nan Yang sent Rong Huai out, took a few sips of tea from the teacup, and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"It's nothing, come and meet Master."

“…… Do something for me. After a while, I went to Hongfei Pavilion and picked up a female disciple named Shaoxiu to come over and prepare for the apprenticeship. ”

Yun Tang was surprised: "Master, are you going to accept a new apprentice!" ”

"I'm idle left and right, and I'll take it." Nan Yang got up and walked outside, Yun Tang following behind her.

"I thought that Master would not accept any more apprentices."

"Everything is changing, don't speculate about anything. If things don't go the way you guess, you'll be disappointed, so it's better to go with the flow. ”

Suddenly, Nan Yang walked to the front of the main hall, suddenly stopped, and his eyes fell on the couplet that was pasted at the gate during the New Year.

Yun Tang then stopped and looked at Nan Yang suspiciously.

Nan Yang looked at it for a long time, and then looked at the pair of Qinghuan pasted on the lintel. She put her hand on the red paper, which was already a little white, mottled and turned up by the edges of time, and scratched a little roughly.

“…… The year is over, tear it off and throw it away. She said lightly.

"Master, next year's New Year is not over ......"

"Thrown." Nan Yang repeated, "And next year, we won't celebrate the New Year." ”

Yun Tang sighed in his heart, and couldn't help but secretly scolded Qinghuan a few more words.

By the time Yuntang took Shaoxiu over, it was already afternoon. It began to snow sporadically, but it was cold but comfortable. Nan Yang stood at the door of Rongkue Pavilion and waited, and Bian Zi took advantage of standing on the side to talk to her.

The big and small figures on the mountain road gradually approached, and when Yuntang and Shaoxiu approached, they saw this little girl who was showing her edge at the sword test conference for the first time.

The little girl was no more than * years old, not tall, wearing a light yellow crepe robe on the mountain, and carrying a sword strictly behind her back. Her eyes are quite big, and there is a small dimple at the corner of her pursed lips, which looks a little similar to the appearance of Shuyu back then, and she is the kind of girl who looks extremely delicate and cute.

Nan Yang looked at her, but his gaze seemed to pass through her and fell elsewhere.

Shaoxiu knelt down upright in front of Nan Yang, and said crisply: "Shaoxiu greets Master, senior brother." ”

Bian Zi smiled informally: "I haven't apprenticed to the master yet, I'm called Senior Brother, I'm very clever." ”

"Shaoxiu......" Nan Yang muttered, bending down to help her up, "get up." ”

"Master just call me Xiu'er." Shaoxiu smiled at Nan Yang, revealing a cute tiger tooth.

“…… Xiu'er. ”

"Yes, Master!" Shaoxiu smiled even more happily, and opened her arms towards Nanyang, wanting to hug her.

But Nan Yang obviously didn't understand Shaoxiu's intentions, she habitually hugged Shaoxiu, and then held her up and hugged her whole, just like she always hugged Qinghuan many years ago.

"Ouch, this little girl has tiger teeth when she laughs, so cute." Bian Zi laughed while looking at Shao Xiu, but with a smile and a smile, his expression gradually froze. Thinking of the person who was also very close to them, it would still be very uncomfortable in the end.

Shaoxiu didn't expect Nan Yang to pick her up, and her face turned red suddenly. In the past, I could only look at Venerable from afar, but now I can worship under her door. The disciples all said that Nan Yang was a person who was not easy to get close to, but wasn't that quite kind?

Nan Yang carried Shaoxiu to the main hall, sat down on the upper seat, and motioned for Shaoxiu to kneel in front of her.

Shaoxiu obediently went to kneel.

Nan Yang looked at her and said slowly: "From today on, you are the apprentice of my Northern Punishment Venerable, and I Nan Yang is your personal master." But as long as I am alive, I will protect you for one day; As long as I am alive, I will give you one day. I don't ask you to glorify your teacher, but I ask you to respect your teacher, be diligent and hardworking, don't deviate from the scriptures, don't be disobedient and committed, so as to be a person. ”

"Yes, the disciple obeys." Shaoxiu lowered her head and kowtowed.

Nan Yang looked at her and began to lose his mind again. The hand she placed on the table slowly tightened and clenched into a fist.
