A quiet house, surrounded by pink walls outside the courtyard, green willows hang around, three hanging flower gatehouses, the gatehouse on both sides of the majestic stone lion white marble system. There are more than two zhang in the courtyard of the high gate, and there are four big characters of "landscape seclusion" in the plaque book.

In the courtyard, the corridor is connected several times in and out, and all the courtyards are full of flowers. The largest courtyard in the center is full of high-quality peonies.

In the room in the courtyard, I sat cross-legged on the bed and slowly opened my eyes after a week of running. raised his eyes and looked at Hu Qiugu, who was standing low, and said with a slight expression,

"Sit down on a bench and talk. ”

The master had an order and the apprentice did not dare to disobey, and Hu Qiugu stood on the bed a foot away. He said respectfully: "Master, your injuries are fine, right, what are your orders for recruiting disciples?"

Du Xiuzhen's face was not good, and he said slowly: "It's just that the ban has been broken, and it has been restored in three days." Elder Hua is not in retreat with me, and you are ordered to take full charge of all matters of the students, but is there a difference?"

Hu Qiugu was only in a bad mood because he was trapped in this courtyard, and he didn't think much about other aspects. After being asked, a smile appeared and she said proudly: "She has isolated Su Qingyi and has no flat-haired beasts by her side." Let's clean it up, just wait for your order. ”

I never thought that Du Xiuzhen on the opposite side suddenly turned sharply: "Nonsense, when will you fight again? It doesn't matter if you compete with each other in the academy, and it is true that Su Qingyi is not pleasing to the eye, and she wants to find trouble with her everywhere." ”

"But now it's different, everyone is trapped in this mansion together. The same people who came out of Cailuan College should be united with each other when they are in difficulty. As for the grievances, it's not too late to return to the academy to settle them. ”

Although Du Xiuzhen is greedy for money, he is still a little bit small-bellied. However, in the face of major rights and wrongs, you can still distinguish between the red and the white. Even if his own apprentice makes a mistake, he should be reprimanded mercilessly.

Seeing Hu Qiugu's little face, he seemed to disagree with what he said. Du Xiuzhen's strength suddenly increased a little, not angry, but a little cold.

"When you are in the mountains and forests, it is for you to look at Su Qingyi. You can make her suffer a little loss, but you don't want to kill her. ”

"Regardless of safety, I tried my best to dissuade the students from entering the golden forest, and I wanted to kill Su Qingyi, right? “

Du Xiuzhen's tone became more and more cold, and he reprimanded: "You can compete with each other, but if you want to kill yourself for money, how can you match the Confucianism you have learned?"

Hu Qiugu weakly retorted: "I didn't, Master, did you misunderstand me?"

Du Xiuzhen was unmoved, and continued in a cold voice: "Quipble! I know that your plan is three wrongs, and it is a mistake to want to harm Su Qingyi's life. After Su Qingyi's death, it was a mistake to find a way to capture Xiaohong. Don't talk about Xiaohong's spirituality, whether he will kill at all costs. Just the academy's attention to Xiaohong from top to bottom will not make you feel the slightest. ”

Du Xiuzhen's anger became more and more intense, and he asked word by word: "Do you know, what is the third mistake?"

Master Hu Qiugu was really angry, and he didn't continue to sit and respond. Poof, he knelt on the ground, and Pear Blossom sobbed with rain: "I don't know, please make it clear to the master, please forgive the master." ”

Du Xiu was angry, and first solemnly admonished: "Don't take it as an example." ”

Then he said, "With your prudence, you may not see the danger of the golden maple forest. But on weekdays, you will never break in. At that time, you instigated the students to enter first, but did you think about the safety of the same sect? You remember to me that Cailuan Academy strictly prohibits killing each other among the same sects. “

Hu Qiugu finally understood the real reason why the master was angry, and he was frightened and disheartened. It turned out that in the eyes of the master, the status of the academy was higher than that of her apprentice. When it was time to choose between the academy and her, the master would not hesitate to choose the former.

Some self-centered people tend to be like that. I can always see the mistakes of others and the mistakes of others, and I will ignore the disdain I have made every time.

Du embroidery needle is a choice between right and wrong, and Hu Qiugu ignores this. What is valued is the choice between the master and the apprentice.

Seeing that the master was angry, Hu Qiugu didn't dare to express himself. suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and pretended to repent: "The apprentice knows that he is wrong, please punish the master." ”

First show that you admit your mistakes, and then retreat into advance. It can be seen how deep this fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl is in scheming. If you are a girl who is innocent and innocent, I am afraid that she will cry and say: "The disciple knows his mistake, please forgive the master." ”

The difference between punishment and forgiveness is very particular. The former knows the mistake and corrects the mistake, the latter knows the mistake, and the change or not does not know.

Du Xiuzhen was very satisfied with Hu Qiugu's set, and after nodding with satisfaction, his solemn face slowly converged. Re-hanging the usual day as a mentor, stern but not cold.

stepped out of the bed to pick up the choked girl, and comforted softly: "It's good to know your mistakes, I just said that I want to be united, how can I punish you now." Besides, you are my apprentice, how can there be a reason why the master does not take care of the apprentice. ”

"Get up and talk, I was a teacher just now, and I was really angry with you. In the future, don't do such stupid things. Even if you have resentment against your peers, you can teach a lesson, but you must master the proportions. ”

Hu Qiugu also became a well-behaved disciple again, wiped his tears and asked in a low voice, "Master has been in retreat for three days, and now he is hungry." Do you want the apprentice to go and get some food? ”

Du Xiu Needle smiled: "It's true that I'm a little hungry, and I have Lao Qiugu." ”

Suddenly remembered something, and advised: "Just take a little bit of it, you don't need too much." I don't know how long I will be trapped in this mansion, and I should be prepared for a protracted battle. Food should be used sparingly, and more should be reserved for those who are low-level in cultivation. ”

"The apprentice knows", Hu Qiugu bowed and retreated. After going out, he closed the door and turned around with a hideous face.

muttered in a low voice: "In such a large courtyard, it should be normal for a ghost to suddenly appear in a corner." Su Qingyi, hum, I was scolded by the master for harming me today, and I must repay it a hundred times. ”

The ponytail girl stared at the four big characters of "Mountains and Rivers" and was stunned for a long time. He raised his eyebrows and said to himself: "Obviously I came in here, why can't I get out?"

Recalling the scene of that day, the ponytail girl smiled knowingly: "Tutor Du can obviously leave on his own, but at the critical moment, he chose to be in the same boat with the students. Although he was mean to me, he was a responsible mentor for a student. “

The ponytail girl thought about it, and said guiltily alone: "After all, it's the teacher, and what Xiaohong asked Xiaohong to do last time was a little inappropriate." After Tutor Du is out of the customs, I have to go to her to accompany her. ”

"Well, you can't just say it with your mouth. Tutor Du forcibly broke the ban and was injured. We as trainees can't do our best, and we can't wait and do nothing. You should help Tutor Du share some of the burden, even if it is a little, at least with your heart. ”

After finishing speaking, the ponytail girl bent down to ask for herself, and knocked on the ground, stone lions, and gate walls one after another. Careful and serious, not letting go of any clues.

"You don't need to cry and fake mercy, the master won't accept your love. Hu Qiugu's cynicism suddenly came from inside the gate, and he didn't understand the kindness of the ponytail girl at all.

After the voice, the four green-robed students led by Hu Qiugu walked out together. When he saw the ponytail girl squatting on the ground, he immediately scattered and surrounded her in the middle.

"We are ordered by Mentor Du to teach you a lesson. It's better not to resist, otherwise it will make the guru angry, and you won't be able to eat and walk around. Hu Qiugu, the leader, did not speak in a good tone, and explained his intentions bluntly.

The ponytail girl, who was already guilty, slowly got up and glanced around casually. Finally, his eyes fixed on Hu Qiugu and asked, "Is it really Tutor Du who asked you to come?"

"Hmph, Su Qingyi, are you really stupid or pretending to be stupid. Now Tutor Du is the biggest here, and the grievances between you and Tutor Du are even more clear. If it's not a guru, who can command us people. Hu Qiugu, who is lying, is not red in the face and does not beat in a serious way.

Resigned to her fate, the ponytail girl slowly closed her long and narrow autumn eyes. said calmly: "You guys do it, I have a mistake first, and I will never fight back." ”

Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking the air in her ears, and the ponytail girl subconsciously tilted her head. At the same time, I opened my eyes and saw three embroidery needles brushing my scalp.

The girl didn't think much about it, and jumped away from the place. shouted angrily: "Tutor Du can't order you to kill me, it's you Hu Qiugu who makes your own decisions!"

"Su Qingyi, you untrustworthy aunt, didn't you say you wouldn't fight back? Why do you want to dodge. Hu Qiugu avoided the important and light, and did not mention the stubble of the killer, but grabbed Su Qingyi's flaws and did not let go.

The latter willingly accepts the punishment, but will not be so stupid as to let others slaughter and take his life at will.

In Cailuan Academy, most of the Academy's weapons are embroidery needles. When the strength is not enough, it is impossible to control the weapon, so a silk thread is tied at the end of the embroidery needle to make it have the effect of flying needles.

Yes, most, not all, there are always some special students. Or they have their own inherited weapons and exercises, or they choose other hobbies. With enough self-confidence and strength, you can also cultivate the Natal Flying Sword with greater killing power.

Su Qingyi is not in the ranks of using embroidery needles, but is good at a pitch-black short knife with the word "Yi" engraved on it.

It was when she was in Qingyang Town that Xingzhen gave her the Zimu Blade. There was no life-and-death struggle in the academy, and the sub-mother blade has never been separated. Therefore, in the eyes of the students, Su Qingyi's weapon is a short knife.

These four people have the intention of taking their own lives, and Su Qingyi will never sit idly by. The pitch-black short knife in the sleeve slid down, and he was ready to shoot in his hand.

Hu Qiugu was full of contempt and sneered: "Do you still want to resist? All the four strongest students in this trip are here, do you have a chance?"

The other three were in the Golden Maple Leaf Forest when they pulled up the leaders of the three small gangs. Needless to say, there is no need to say much about the strength, how can anyone be convinced if there is not enough deterrence.

Su Qingyi looked at them and asked, "Do you want to embarrass me too?"

Without waiting for the three of them to answer, Hu Qiugu hurriedly said, "Nonsense, if it weren't for you that day, how could they have been scolded by Elder Hua." “

Worried that he would have a long night and a lot of dreams if he delayed, Hu Qiugu drank: "Why are you waiting for it if you don't make a move?"

Shuai took the first step, and the embroidery needle that had just been pulled back by the silk thread was thrown out again. The sound of breaking wind wrinkled, and the embroidery needle flashed away.

Su Qingyi's four directions, there were sounds one after another, and it was obvious that the other three people also made a move. Four directions, four needles.

Su Qingyi, who knew the embroidery needle well, leaned back, and the embroidery needle thrown out by Hu Qiugu in front of him brushed the tip of his nose.

Su Qingyi, who was bending over, waved his arm and threw out a short blade, and one by one circled and cut off the silk thread that connected the embroidery needle behind him.

Su Qingyi's waist exerted force, and the embroidery needles on both sides had not arrived, and the person had already stood upright. At the same time, she stomped her feet heavily, and the girl's figure rose to the ground.

The embroidery needles from the left and right staggered, and Su Qingyi, who fell back in place, stepped on a silk thread in each foot. Spin in place after landing and easily cut it off.

Su Qingyi's toes were light, and her body was as light as a swallow. Swift as the wind, he swept towards Hu Qiugu, twisting his body in the air, avoiding the embroidery needles that shot out again after pulling back.

The hand picks up and falls to cut the silk thread, and the other hand grabs the silk thread that is pre-retreated like lightning. A daughter pressed the top, and the figure fell straight down.

Then the back arm was so hard that it pulled back. Hu Qiugu, who was at the end of the silk thread, was pulled vigorously by the sudden in, and pounced on the ponytail girl opposite.
