Sitting opposite the little monk, I couldn't see his face clearly through the dense water vapor......

I don't know what the uneasiness that suddenly rose in my heart was, but ...... Looking at his face, I suddenly felt a little nervous.

It's rare to see him with such a serious expression, and my palms are sweating slightly.

"Little monk......" I clenched my palms tightly, "You ......"

"Why are you so nervous? Could it be that he was just frightened by the Third Elder? The little monk suddenly said half-jokingly, and I was stunned.

Seeing his expression, my heart was even more entangled......

I could see that he had something on his mind, but ...... What's going on? Or did the four elders say something to him?

Isn't it...... Want to stay away from me? After all...... Because of me, he didn't have a good trial, otherwise...... He would also be a successful Taoist priest.

"Just ...... What did the four come tell you? I looked him cautiously into the eyes, and then unsurprisingly saw a slightly apprehensive expression.

Although he did a good job of concealing it, he still couldn't escape my eyes.

"It's nothing, just ask me what happened down the hill, and ......" he looked me in the eye, "and gave me a mission......

As he spoke, I could clearly feel that his body seemed to sit up straight.

I suddenly had a bad premonition in my heart, this task ...... Subconsciously, I feel that most of it is inseparable from myself.

It's just that...... What's that, exactly? I was suddenly a little scared to find out......

"Later...... Please advise. After half a sound, he said slowly, the corners of his mouth slowly dancing into the previous smile.

I was slightly stunned and subconsciously sat up straight!

"What do you mean—" I looked at him in surprise, then saw him nod.

"In the future, I will cultivate with you, maybe this will be the easiest way." He looked at me with a smile.

"Great, I know that the third senior brother is understanding!" I clapped my hands and silently gave the third senior brother a thumbs up in my heart.

I also said before that the third senior brother was too serious and too fierce, but I didn't expect him to be so careful.

But out of excitement, I ...... I didn't see a complicated expression flashing at the corner of the little monk's mouth......

……

I don't know if it was because I was too tired yesterday, or because I knew that the little monk was going to cultivate with me, I didn't sleep very well last night.

So much so that I got up early in the morning.

But when I saw the little monk, I saw that he had dark circles under his eyes.

"You didn't sleep well last night?" I asked meaningfully.

"Maybe insomnia......" he shrugged helplessly, half-jokingly.

But when the little monk was in our dormitory or in Teacher Chai Yi's office, I didn't hear of him having insomnia......

"Let's go, it's not good to be late." The little monk pointed in the direction of the stage, and when I looked at my watch, there were only three minutes left!

I used my fastest speed, and I was not late when I ran to where I went, but I was already out of breath, but I saw that the little monk was not out of breath except for a trace of sweat oozing from his head.

It was really too much, I shook my head helplessly, and strengthened my confidence.

Master must not be disappointed.

"Let's go, today's first day is to practice the 'martial arts' in the 'mountain', the part that you can understand the most now......"

Along the way, the little master gave me a brief explanation, which is actually similar to the martial arts I knew before, but some tricks are different, but the reason is the same.

In addition to protecting yourself, you can also strengthen your body, and first let your body be able to adapt to it before you can move on to the next thing.

The morning went by so quickly that I just felt like my whole body was going to fall apart, and I just wanted to be a quiet corpse in bed in the afternoon.

But after glancing at the full 'class schedule' given to me by the third senior brother, my heart suddenly became bitter.

Why don't you even have time to rest...... I feel like I'm going crazy!

After resting for half an hour at noon, I had to drag my already aching body to the place where the third senior brother told me.

It was a round platform, just in a corner of the mountain, and there were hardly any people around.

Quiet ...... It seems that speaking loudly is also a kind of desecration of the surrounding environment, that kind of ethereal artistic conception beauty...... I can't put it into words.

"What? Giving up in just one day? The third senior brother saw me and said coldly.

I was suddenly a little unwilling, and immediately straightened my back and shook my head.

How could I just give up? That's too embarrassing, I really don't deserve to be the master's apprentice!

"Okay, then you do it here, thinking that you have read the book of the 'Xuandian' before, and feel it silently......" Although the third senior brother told me what to do, I basically didn't grasp the essentials.

The whole afternoon was spent in the cold snort of the third senior brother, the little monk seemed to be a little different from my class, and I was the only one on the third senior brother's side.

I wanted to go with him at dinner, but he didn't seem to be there.

"Seven Elders! Are you there, Seventh Elder!? "Just as I was about to enjoy a meal, I suddenly heard a disobedient voice.

I shook my head, which reckless imp is this? It's just too inconsistent with the feeling of a Taoist priest......

And then...... I saw a Taoist priest running in front of me, about the same age as me...... But the whole face is tangled!

"Seven Elders! I've finally found you......" He looked at me anxiously, but I was stunned!

Could it be ...... He just called me again? Only then did I remember that I was the seventh apprentice of the master......

Although I felt awkward, I couldn't get the entire old-fashioned Taoist priests to call me by my name, so I could only agree silently.

But......

"What do you say? What's wrong? I looked at him suspiciously, sweat in my head as if I was in a hurry.

"The Four Elders' ......"

Four Elders? I slammed the little monk!

"Little monk, you say!? What happened to him?! "I secretly had a bad premonition in my heart, and I immediately stood up!

He ...... He is now being punished by the four elders, I don't know what he has done, and now he is kneeling outside! The Taoist priest explained anxiously, and I suddenly 'chuckled' in my heart!

This...... What the hell is going on!? I didn't have time to listen to his specific explanation, so I hurriedly ran to the place where the four elders were in my memory!

In the distance, I saw a thin figure kneeling in the center of the door, and I don't know when...... Suddenly it rained outside, and it hit the figure mercilessly......

My nose suddenly soured, and I didn't know why I felt the way I did...... But I don't know if it's rain or tears...... Slowly slid down my cheeks......

I can't tell what it is......

Looking at his back in a daze, I even felt ...... I have never really understood the little monk.

I don't know how long it took, but I suddenly realized that the top of my head was not raining, and I subconsciously looked back, but I saw the Taoist priest just now...... He was holding an umbrella and helping me hold one, standing behind me worriedly.

"Why did he ......?" I said slowly, only to find that my voice was somehow hoarse and terrifying.

"I don't know, but I heard that he seems to have done something wrong, and that's it...... It seems that I have been kneeling for I don't know how many hours, since noon. The Taoist priest behind him cautiously explained.

Why did you come to me...... Maybe I'm the only one who has the ability to help the little monk now, right? They don't seem to be able to intervene at all.

But what happened to the little monk? It seems to be ...... Something is hidden from me.

I silently took the Taoist priest's umbrella and walked towards the figure in the rain.

When I saw the little monk getting closer and closer, I felt ...... It's getting stranger and stranger, and the little monk before ...... What exactly did I not know? Why is it suddenly like this?

Why...... If you don't want to discuss something with me? Why ...... What about taking it upon yourself? Aren't we friends?

Standing silently behind him, he didn't look back as if he knew it was me.

"I'm fine, don't worry about me." He still spoke in the same light tone, as if nothing had happened.

A nameless fire suddenly rose in my heart, why...... Why is he still like this!?

"It's okay...... Will you kneel here? I said in a faint voice, a voice that was unfamiliar to me.

The little monk also seemed to be stunned, and slowly turned around-

Only then did I see his expression...... He looked at me in a slight daze, and his whole face was slightly swollen from being in the rain for too long, showing a terrible blue color.

This is not the little monk I know, he I know...... That's not true.

"What the hell happened to you?" I looked at him coldly, "Why didn't you tell me?" ”

Then I saw that the little monk stiffened, and his eyes became hesitant when he looked at me.

"I'm fine...... I just made a little mistake, and Master was punishing me. The next second, the little monk changed back to his usual tone and explained, as if nothing had happened.

“……”

I silently looked at the back of the little monk, and I ...... in my heart But the five flavors began to be mixed.

When did our relationship become like this? Could it be...... Is it my fault?

"Umbrella for you, don't have a fever." I sighed silently, put the umbrella on the ground and turned away.

Possible...... He and I can't go back to what we used to be......

……

Although I don't know what happened, the little monk and I tacitly agreed that I didn't mention it again in the following days.

It was only from other people that I heard the news, and it was almost a day and a night after the little monk knelt down again that day, and the four elders came out of the room, and I don't know what they said, this matter ...... It's over.

No one knew what mistake the little monk had made, and they tacitly didn't mention it.

But what I know for sure is...... He must have made some kind of decision, or else...... He wouldn't be like that, and I know very well that the four elders are reluctant to punish him.

Unless it's ......

Although I don't know when the little monk became the apprentice of the four elders, it can be seen that the four elders still like him very much.

In the entire Zhongnan Mountain, there are very few people who can become the disciples of the master, and for such a long time, he has only accepted seven disciples, and I am the only one in the past hundred years.

I'm glad and satisfied.

And to be able to become the disciples of those elders...... It seems that it has become everyone's target, but even if it is a disciple of the elder, it is not just a simple matter.

So far, there are no more than twenty apprentices in total, and my third senior brother is even more strict, and there is not a single apprentice yet.

Therefore, there is no doubt about the strength and efforts of the little monk, the four elders have always been kind and kind, and they will definitely not be so strict, so ......

Something definitely happened to the little monk.

"Lu Yan? What the hell are you thinking? At this moment, a voice in my ear suddenly interrupted my train of thought, and when I came back to my senses, I saw that it was Yuanshan, the master who called me martial arts, who was looking at me seriously.

I was a little humble and quickly shook my head.

"Let me see you wander again...... I think you'd love to try my stick. He looked at me coldly, "Don't think that if you are the Seventh Elder, I won't dare to do anything, as long as I teach you for another day, you will always be just my current disciple!" ”

I nodded quickly, these two 'masters' - Yuanshan and Yuanshui...... He was very strict with me, and he only called me by my name, never called me 'Seven Elders' or anything......

But to be honest, I was the most relaxed time with them, at least I didn't have to be embarrassed to accept that title.

It's also strange to say, it's obviously brothers, but ...... One of Yuanshan and Yuanshui is the apprentice of the second elder and the other is the apprentice of the fifth elder, and their personalities are completely different, and the direction they are good at is also different.

But when they stood together, they didn't violate the harmony at all.

"That...... May I ask you a question? "Seeing that today's lesson is almost over, I also plucked up my courage.

He turned his head and looked at me coldly, although I still asked with a look of 'don't enter the living'-

"That...... Do you know what really happened before the little monk? Why are the Four Elders—"

"This matter has nothing to do with you." He coldly interrupted me, and was about to leave the place!

I was shocked and quickly stepped forward to stop him!

But he looked at me condescendingly, as if there was still a trace of disdain on the corner of his mouth-

"This is a problem between their master and apprentice, it has nothing to do with you, let alone me, do you want to cross the line?" His voice was so cold...... I couldn't help but shiver all over!

But before I could react...... He's out of here.
