More than a month has passed since the six-year examination, and the newly promoted thirty-five registered disciples have also begun to live in the academy step by step, and the original literature teacher Chen Shenping suddenly left, and a new young teacher has been replaced.

The practice continued to be taught by Huang Juesheng and Feng Zhentian.

It is said that this Huang Juesheng was also a well-known genius when he was young, so the students were convinced in their hearts, the fly in the ointment was that this Huang Zhangjiao had a bad temper, and there were often naughty students who were cleaned up with blue noses and swollen faces, but there was nowhere to reason, they could only be called Qu Lianlian.

As for the nominal disciple Xiao Jiansheng, he has long been forgotten by these diligent and studious genius elites.

However, some people occasionally mention it, but most of them look like they are in company.

On this day, a student said as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight, and he saw with his own eyes that the nominal disciple Xiao Jiansheng drove a canoe out of Shenlong Lake with the old teacher Chen Shenping.

......

Out of the Wuji Palace, three hundred miles to the south, it is said that thousands of years ago, here was once beautiful water, fertilizer and grass, far from the yellow sand seen now.

Chen Shenping frowned and looked at the continuous sand dunes in the distance, and said to Xiao Jiansheng: "A thousand years ago, there was a brave general named Dong Wu, who launched a life-and-death confrontation with the Qin State here, Dong Wu Chen had 200,000 soldiers, but Great Qin broke his halberd and broken spears all the way, and in addition to the continuous campaign, there were only 80,000 infantry left, who do you guess will have the last laugh in this war?"

Xiao Jiansheng said without thinking: "It must be the Great Qin Kingdom." ”

Chen Shenping looked at Xiao Jiansheng in surprise and said, "Why?"

Xiao Jiansheng said happily: "Typical less is more, otherwise you won't talk about it." ”

Chen Shenping slapped Xiao Jiansheng on the back of the head, and said indignantly: "Be virtuous with that Xiao Wen, don't follow the routine." ”

Xiao Jiansheng said proudly: "That's my father." ”

At this moment, Chen Shenping's frowning brows stretched most of the time, and he began to lead Xiao Jiansheng to the center of the battlefield.

"The anger here is too heavy, it is not suitable for cultivation, and it is easy to deviate from absorption. ”

"What are the consequences of a deviation?"

"Demons, they're not human anymore. ”

The two talked as they walked.

Chen Shenping pointed to a row of tree shelves in front of him that had already taken root and said: "Trees, like people, from seedlings to death, are actually a kind of cultivation, however, they have chosen the wrong place for their cultivation, which is sad and lamentable. ”

Xiao Jiansheng licked his chapped lips and said, "Since you can't practice, what are you bringing me here for?"

Chen Shenping pretended to smile mysteriously: "You'll know later." ”

The two of them stepped on the soft yellow sand and continued to walk forward, Xiao Jiansheng suddenly said aggrievedly: "Uncle Chen, why did you kick me out of the Chunfeng Pavilion that day, and lied to me that I would have a tael of silver for a class in literature, but in fact, I don't need that much at all, I have money now, and it's no problem to wrap you down to give me a lecture." ”

Chen Shenping glared at Xiao Jiansheng and said, "Nonsense, why don't you call the teacher or Chen Jiaoxi?"

Xiao Jiansheng said: "My adoptive father once said that people who love face will be careful, since they are out of Wuji Palace, no one can hear anything, but it can bring the relationship between our two closer, isn't it better?"

Chen Shenping felt that there was some reason, so he didn't dwell on this topic anymore, he knew that entanglement with the little bastard next to him would be endless, and he was still sulking, so he simply said on the first question: "Literature class is originally coaxing, not much fanfare, where does Wuji Palace earn money, teach Xi also to eat and dress, don't you want to buy rouge gouache to dress yourself? What's more, you have been following Xiaowen for so many years, and you still don't get tired of listening to it?"

Xiao Jiansheng thought for a moment and nodded seriously.

The two of them soon came to the row of dead tree frames, but they were completely different from what they saw from afar, each of the tree frames in front of them was ten zhang away, even if they fell, they were five or six zhang high, Xiao Jiansheng probably felt that it was a pity that these trees died in such a silent place where birds don't, and there were a few less shady places in the world, so they were a little sad.

However, Chen Shenping didn't pay attention to his emotional changes at all, and walked straight towards the tallest tree frame, just when Xiao Jiansheng looked at the dead tree, Chen Shenping suddenly stretched out a palm and slapped it forward, Xiao Jiansheng didn't see Chen Shenping move at all, he felt that he was pushed out by a heat wave, and then, those dead trees emitted a series of crackling movements, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of dead trees turned into powder mixed into the sand, leaving only the largest one in place.

Chen Shenping chuckled and placed his broad palm on one of the rhizomes of the dead tree, and only withdrew his palm after a few breaths.

Chen Shenping looked at Xiao Jiansheng's surprised face and said: "The rhizome is like a person's sea of qi, only when the sea of qi is abundant, can people be invincible, such as that Dong Wu, although he is invincible and brave, but after all, he is like a rootless tree, and finally dies of exhaustion." ”

Although Xiao Jiansheng couldn't understand what Chen Shenping meant, he felt that it should be useful for his future practice, so he firmly memorized these words.

Three days later, the two of them went out of the long yellow sand and headed west, Xiao Jiansheng's face was very long, as if he had been deceived, it was not as interesting as the axe he had carried on his back to cut down trees.

The two stopped as they passed a small town in the middle of nowhere.

The town is sparsely populated, the ratio of men and women is seriously imbalanced, and the men on the street have eyes bigger than donkeys, as if they are looking for a woman from a family who has not obeyed women's morals, so as to flirt with them.

When the yellow-orange sun was about to set, Chen Shenping urged Xiao Jiansheng to knock on the door of a farmer's house, and a man with pure white hair walked out. The old man with wrinkles on his face, the old man seems to be in good spirits, but there is an imperceptible decadence hanging between his eyebrows.

The old man's name is Huang Tai, and the town is called Xiaguan Yaozi.

At night, Xiao Jiansheng and Chen Shenping stayed at Huang Tai's house, lived in the east wing, drank staring rice soup, maybe tired, Xiao Jiansheng staggered down and fell asleep after drinking rice soup, and when he woke up again, it was already three poles in the sun, and the sunlight that slipped in from the window made his eyes hurt.

After Xiao Jiansheng woke up, he did not go down to the ground to wash his face, but sat cross-legged on the earthen kang with his eyes in a daze towards the east.

He had a very special dream last night, and he dreamed that the dead old tree actually grew green shoots, and the green shoots turned into a towering tree, and the roots of the snake covered the whole yellow sand, and the whole desert became an oasis in the blink of an eye.

To be precise, Xiao Jiansheng was awakened by that dream, otherwise he wouldn't have woken up until he slept until the eighth pole of the sun.

The two went out, Xiao Jiansheng found that the old man was meditating cross-legged on a pave made of rotten clothes, out of gratitude he decided to say goodbye to the old man, however, he asked the old man three times in a row, and the old man never opened his eyes and knocked on him.

Chen Shenping patted Xiao Jiansheng and said with a sad face: "It's dead." ”

Xiao Jiansheng looked at Chen Shenping in surprise and said, "Uncle Chen, did you kill you?"

Chen Shenping shook his head, then nodded again, and said helplessly: "So to speak, I just told him that even if you cultivate to the age of 100, you will never want to enter the Five Realms, and as a result, this old brother will die of anger." ”

Xiao Jiansheng whispered, "Executioner." ”

Chen Shenping laughed and said: "Half of it, the other half is considered as if I gave him a creation, rather than not seeing the other side, it is better not to have the other side in my heart." ”

......

As the capital of the Western Wilderness, Longyan City is as prosperous as the capital city of Fengtian, Xiao Jiansheng and Chen Shenping temporarily changed their plans after leaving Xiaguan Yaozi and went straight to Longyan City.

According to Chen Shenping's estimates, it took at least half a month to arrive in Longyan City from Xiaguan Yaozi, and this half month was all consumed on the road, which was really a bit lonely, so under Chen Shenping's persecution and persuasion, Xiao Jiansheng began to usher in a hellish day, endorsing, the content was all written by his adoptive father Xiao Wen, a total of eight books included Xiao Wen's unsuccessful life.

The eight books show Xiao Wen's anxiety about the country and the people from different angles, as well as his disappointment with the country.

According to Xiao Jiansheng, these books have not been memorized for several years, and some places have been blurred, and he needs to sort them out in his mind, so Chen Shenping also fulfilled the hearts of his elders and only asked him to recite one book every day.

In fact, Chen Shenping had already itched the roots of this slippery boy's hatred, and Xiao Jiansheng's memory was extremely amazing, how could he hide it from him.

On this day, Xiao Jiansheng had just finished reciting the sharp "Intoxicating Stickers" with a dry mouth, and happened to pass by a small forest, he suddenly remembered that dream, so he begged Chen Shenping to explain the dream for him.

"It's a good dream. ”

Chen Shenping looked at Xiao Jiansheng's more and more upright body and gradually deeper eyes, and looked into the distance with a relieved smile.
