Chapter 18: East Soil
But Zhou Zhiwen's malice was too shallow, and Fang Xiaotang was also a little uneasy in his heart, and he didn't want to deal with him very much. However, Fang Xiaotang is still a child, and he doesn't understand that such a move offends Zhou Zhiwen.
Zhou Zhiwen raised his eyebrows coldly, and his voice rose an octave: "I'm talking to you, but you don't respond?" ”
Zhou Zhiwen decided that Fang Xiaotang must despise him, besides, this person is already extremely famous and rich, and there is no room for sand in his eyes, so he immediately regarded Fang Xiaotang as a thorn in his eye and a thorn in his flesh.
Fang Xiaotang saw that he was angry, and retreated, panicked and uneasy, and didn't dare to say more.
"I'm asking you, did you hear that?" Zhou Zhiwen roared angrily, thinking of the Wu Anhou who made him lose face, and his heart was even more irritable.
Fang Xiaotang pursed his lips and said hatefully: "How you want me to respond, I will respond." ”
"Arrogant and untamed, you dare to contradict it?" Zhou Zhiwen was furious, and his backhand was a slap, which instantly hit the left half of her face high and swollen.
Fang Xiaotang's eyes turned red for a moment, and he didn't seem to react yet, and after a while, he burst into tears, turned around and was about to leave. Zhou Zhiwen grabbed her collar and shouted, "Where do you want to go?" ”
Fang Xiaotang kicked his legs and said sullenly: "Let me leave, I won't practice with you." ”
Fang Xiaotang understood that Shizun must be disgusted with her, so she would rather leave the Shangqing Dao Sect than be bullied by them, even if she fed the tigers, leopards and jackals in the outside world, it was better to humiliate them.
It's just that I don't know if my father-in-law will be sad when he learns about his death? There are also Sister Zhao Ruozhu, Xiao Lian, and Xiao Yi......
Zhou Zhiwen's face became more and more gloomy, and he roared: "Little beast, what kind of are you talking about? Fang Xiaotang turned his heart sideways and scolded: "Niu Nose, you have the ability, you can kill me!" ”
Teacher, so preaching and receiving karma to solve doubts. When the time comes, in the spiritual world, the ethics of master and apprentice are no less powerful than that of father and son. There is a saying that when the teacher and disciple die, the disciple has to die.
Even if Shizun is an out-and-out villain, a hypocrite with a honey-bellied sword. As an apprentice, you must not be disrespectful to your teacher, but must be respectful and filial. Just because he taught you to practice, this is greater than the heavens and heavier than the earth.
A monk with a teacher is often able to overwhelm several casual cultivators of the same rank. Therefore, it is no wonder that the cultivation world attaches great importance to the principles of the teacher's path and must not be disobedient! Otherwise, everyone will spurn and have no place to shame.
Fang Xiaotang's words insulted Zhou Zhiwen, which can be called a big rebellion! Zhou Zhiwen's face was pale, and he was about to slap his face again. Fang Xiaotang suddenly jumped sideways, grabbed his wrist, and bit his left ring finger fiercely.
Fang Xiaotang obtained the "Red Flower" sword book taught by Zhao Ruozhu, studied it all the time, and already had part of his true qi.
Zhou Zhiwen was carried away with anger at the moment, and thought that he was just a girl, and he didn't have the slightest defense, so he grabbed and gnawed, and he couldn't struggle for a while.
What's more, the ten fingers are connected to the heart, and it is extremely unbearable to be bitten here. Zhou Zhiwen slapped her collarbone with his right palm and roared, "Do you want to die?" Don't let go yet! ”
Fang Xiaotang was full of resentment at this moment, even if the sticks were facing each other, she had made up her mind not to let go. Suddenly, the clavicle was crisp, the pain was unbearable, and the mouth was even more ruthless, and with a bang, he bit through the flesh and exposed the white bones.
Zhou Zhiwen's face turned cold: "Ah! Little brute!!" The right fist slammed into Fang Xiaotang's temple, beating her into a coma, Fang pinched her jaw and took out the ring finger of his left palm.
I only saw a bloody hand, the bone joints were cracked, even if I used the elixir to recuperate, it might leave future troubles, and from then on, the sensitivity of this finger would be greatly reduced, affecting my own combat power, and in anger, I kicked Fang Xiaotang's body more than ten times.
Zhou Zhiwen tore a piece of Fang Xiaotang's clothes, simply bandaged the injuries on his hands, and patrolled left and right, but fortunately no one saw it. Thinking that this mess was going to be seen by others, it spread to the cultivation world, saying that Zhou Zhiwen of the Shangqing Taoist Sect had caused Fang Xiaotang, a disciple of the fourth generation, to gnaw and hurt, and he would inevitably lose his reputation, so he took a bucket of snow water and woke Fang Xiaotang up.
Hurt!
It hurts!
What a headache!
The wandering dream full of whispers quickly shattered, and the confused Fang Xiaotang only felt that his head was throbbing abnormally, as if he had been slammed with a stick, no, it was more like being pierced into the temple by a sharp object accompanied by agitation!
When Fang Xiaotang woke up from the cold, he only felt that there was no pain in his whole body, especially his head, which was like a splitting headache. Her blue dress was torn, her face was bruised and swollen, and she looked like she had been bullied.
"Alright, don't be pathetic." Zhou Zhiwen's face was not good-looking, after all, he was the person ordered by the Sword Ancestor to take care of him, and he didn't dare to clean it up. If the Sword Patriarch was allowed to see the clues, with his violent temper, it was really possible to kill himself alive.
"You bully me so much, my father-in-law won't let you go!"
Fang Xiaotang lowered his head with his hands down, crying and mourning, he didn't expect that when he came to the Shangqing Dao Sect, he would still be bullied. There had never been a moment when she was so eager to be strong and eager to grow!
Zhou Zhiwen was distressed in his heart, this master-apprentice relationship turned out to be the same as the enemy.
"You memorize this "Eight Parts of the Universe" well, if nothing goes wrong, I won't beat you anymore."
After speaking, Zhou Zhiwen turned around, unwilling to look at her angry expression again. The two of them are masters and apprentices, and the face work still has to be done, so she called two maidservants to tidy up her appearance a little.
Fang Xiaotang was tough on his lips, but in fact, he still put away the thick volume of "Eight Books of the World" left by his master, and read it carefully whenever he had time.
Fang Xiaotang remembered that Sister Ruozhu said that books are the crystallization of wisdom, and if she can learn the Taoism of Shangqing, there will be no possibility of getting rid of the oppression of her master in the future.
It's just that Fang Xiaotang regretfully found that "The Eight Books of the World" is certainly a strange book of heaven and earth, which records all the knowledge of ancient people, gods, heaven, earth, immortals, demons, ghosts, and demons, and even updates from time to time, changing with each passing day, and is a must-have classic for everyone in the cultivation world. However, there is nothing about the Tao.
I don't know if Zhou Zhiwen did this on purpose, or if he ignored the teaching of Taoism.
Kunwu was the hometown of ten thousand immortals in ancient times. In ancient times, the Shangqing Taoist Sect respected the universe and commanded the cultivation world, and did not dare to disobey. Even if it has declined since ancient times, it is still not to be underestimated, and everyone in the world knows that the hidden heritage of the Shangqing Taoist Sect does not know how many, and it can be evergreen.
Heaven and earth change, but the supernatant does not change; Heaven and earth change, but the Qing does not change.
At the top of the nine peaks of Kunwu, there is a star that moves from the sky, and the bright starlight pours down every moment with the rushing momentum of the Milky Way falling for nine days, flows to the top of the main peak, and then the whole from the main peak in all directions and each edge into the territory of Kunwu.
A huge and spectacular curtain of water was erected in mid-air. Under the afterglow of the sunset, it is as beautiful as an illusion.
And in the distant air, there are still scattered and scattered spirit islands and spirit mountains. Some are steep, some are elegant, and they look particularly agile against the backdrop of a water-colored skylight.
The practice of the Shangqing Taoist Sect is extremely harsh. Taoist priests are typical ascetics, and in terms of food and clothing, they are very simple. Three meals a day, all two steamed buns with three small plates of pickles, this is not that Zhou Zhiwen deliberately abused Fang Xiaotang, but everyone is like this, including the Pope.
Half a month later, Zhou Zhiwen took her to see the Pope, claiming that he had passed down the Shangqing Dao Law and asked Fang Xiaotang to answer the Pope's questions.
"Qixialing Sipin Cave Heaven, there are three blessed places, Lingquan Eight Eyes, an area of two thousand pings, Spiritual Qi C, etc., but the purity is not high, mixed with demonic qi and yin qi, and the monks below the foundation should use it with caution!"
"The Buddha's Heart Workshop sells all kinds of mid-level spiritual herbs, focusing on qi-replenishing, blood-rejuvenating, and health-preserving herbs, all of which have passed the intermediate pharmacology professional certification of the Diluo Spirit Medicine Institute.
"The centennial demon trial conference in Nancheng Demon Township is over, and the top ten teach various elementary mental methods, and the senior monks of Demon Township teach in person. The top three entered the ten major ethnic groups of the demon clan, and the first place was canonized as the Holy Son of the Heavenly Demon Temple. ”
“……”
His Holiness the Pope was pleased, and when he asked about all aspects of knowledge, secrets, and taboos in the cultivation world, Fang Xiaotang answered them all like a stream, no matter how big or small, and there was not a single word or omission.
The Pope smiled happily and praised Fang Xiaotang for his cleverness and intelligence. He is an honest and gentle metaphysics master, a gentleman can deceive him, how could he understand that Zhou Zhiwen had a design and deceived him.
It is true that Fang Xiaotang knows all the common sense in the cultivation world, but if she is allowed to practice it and perform one or two true Dao methods, it will be almost impossible.
And the Pope is strategic, just from the common sense that Fang Xiaotang answered, he can independently construct all the low-end Dao methods, naturally he will not know that Fang Xiaotang is actually not the way to the law, and this will fall into Zhou Zhiwen's trap.
In those days of Shangqing Dao Sect, Fang Xiaotang could not resist the oppression of his master, so he could only endure it silently. In addition to teaching her a lesson that day, the Sword Patriarch treated her very well and treated her as if it were his own. It's a pity that the Sword Patriarch spends most of his time in retreat.
Zhou Zhiwen always asked Fang Xiaotang to recite "The Eight Divisions of the World", hoping to make her ugly, so that she could catch her common disease and punish her severely.
However, since Fang Xiaotang has practiced, he has not said that he will never forget it, at least he can see ten lines at a glance, but in the tenth month, he will remember the content of the first part.
Fortunately, Zhou Zhiwen also has his own method, he deliberately forced the knowledge of the latter parts to be compared. Once Fang Xiaotang can't answer, he will be punished for kneeling for most of the day, or he will not be allowed to eat for a whole day.
Zhou Zhiwen's face became more and more kind, looking like a good teacher and teaching earnestly, and several patriarchs also nodded secretly. Zhou Zhiwen was proud in his heart, and thought: "You disobey the master, in the end, who will suffer?" ”
Fang Xiaotang knew that Zhou Zhiwen was playing tricks on himself, but he refused to teach the real Taoism, and only blindly made things difficult for herself, and she didn't have any good ideas for a while.
Seeing the Pope's kind eyebrows, if Fang Xiaotang sued him, he would only blame Zhou Zhiwen for a few words at most, but he was afraid that this bull's nose would use poison tricks to torture himself even more, so he could only talk about it when the Sword Patriarch came out of retreat.
……
"Have you heard?" The woodcutter came to the meat shop as usual, and whispered sneakily.
The butcher with a fat brain had a big belly and hesitated, "Jiao? ”
"Yes, I caught a glimpse of a big insect last night chopping wood, golden horns and golden scales, maybe that's it...... Dragon! The woodcutter's orange peel crane's face suddenly showed a slight smile, and he said proudly. It is rumored that a pound of Jiao meat can increase the longevity of ten years, if the long-horned Jiaolong is afraid that it is a Jiazi, five hundred years ago, the people of Xuanshui drank the blood of the dragon and lived out the second life. ”
The butcher didn't say anything, frowned, and said sadly, "Hey, what's this, I also raised a black dragon when I was a child, and in order to save me, I let the poisonous snake bite me to death!" ”
"You...... I'm not going to talk to you. The woodcutter was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick, and he said a few words, and he hurried away with his own meat, as if he had to leave.
"Could it be...... Is what he said true? The butcher looked at the vast Kunwu Mountain in the distance in the twilight, and his pupils alternated with admiration and curiosity.
……
"Xiaotang, rest early, it's so late." Tianjiu yawned, she was groggy and almost fell asleep, Fang Xiaotang couldn't help but raise her little paw to tease her rosy little cheeks.
She is the ninth day, and the road number only has a single word abyss, taking the meaning of the spring equinox to ascend to the sky, the autumn equinox to dive into the abyss, and the nine originates from the nine shapes and nine likenesses.
This woman is the girl in the yellow shirt that day, since Fang Xiaotang rescued her that day, she let Patriarch Shi Mingze accept her as an apprentice, and her status is transcendent, no less than three generations of disciples.
However, Tianjiu liked to be with Fang Xiaotang, so he took it upon himself to live in her house. In this regard, Zhou Zhiwen could only turn a blind eye, whether Tianjiu was his junior sister or the first disciple of one of the nine sons of the Shangqing Dynasty, and his status was transcendent, and he could not interfere.
