People see the west and the immortals are sad, and the mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings.

Spring and Autumn Kingdom, Yuecheng, Yang County.

"Bang!" The sound of porcelain shattering was accompanied by the sound of flesh colliding. I put the pen on the mountain pen holder and quietly pulled a crack in the door. In the main hall, the mother stood at the desk with her left hand covering her forehead, blood flowing from her fingers and falling to the ground.

"The more Yan it is, I'll ask······ Where am I sorry for you? Her voice trembled, painful and aggrieved.

Grandpa looked coldly at the other side of the desk, and in his hand was the blue and white porcelain bottleneck left after breaking his mother's head.

Why is it bleeding again? I'm a nine-year-old girl, I should be screaming at this, right? I thought about it, opened the door and ran out, stood three feet away from my mother, and screamed: "Ahhhh ”

My mother turned her head to look at me, and the emotion in her eyes added a little guilt.

I took out the summoning paper talisman and was snatched away and torn up by Grandpa before I could recite the spell, and I wanted to take my mother's communication talisman, but I found that it had already fallen into Grandpa's hands. I ran out of the house again to call someone, "Someone's ······" Before he finished speaking, he was thrown back by Grandpa with his collar, and his shoulder hit the door frame, which hurt very much.

I sat on the ground and rubbed my shoulders, my mother was still standing in place and covering her head, the blood had stained her left cuff and the placket on her chest, Grandpa looked at the blood, put down her mother's communication charm and left.

I took my mother to the hospital in a car, and the doctor cleaned her wound, and I saw that the wound was less than half an inch from my temple, and I was almost killed. My mother is practicing medicine, so I don't know this, right? Will the threat to her life make her mind to leave this man?

Grandpa's hands are getting heavier and heavier, and he always likes to hit his mother's head recently. Thinking of this, I licked the blood from my fingertips, which was stained when I helped my mother to the hospital, and the amount was small, and I didn't taste anything.

On the way home, my mother said to me, "I have to be reconciled with him." ”

"Hmm." I nodded to her.

The mother took leave of absence from the house, she was a government official in Yuechengyang County, and this errand was given to her grandfather when he was alive. Yang County is close to the land of cultivating immortals, with a good salary, plus the money earned by her mother's practice of medicine, the income of one month is more than enough for the family's expenses, and the total amount is more than that of Grandpa. I can also go to a nearby store after school to do odd jobs to earn money, and I have no problem living alone with my mother.

When I got home, I began to imagine my parents and leaving, and I was a little excited to think about it. The mother called the neighborhood girlfriend to cry about her misfortune, and after a tube of resentment was released, she didn't mention the matter of reconciliation.

I asked her, "Mother, aren't you reconciled with Grandpa?"

The mother's face was full of helplessness: "Ah."

Lou, no matter how bad he does is to him is also your father, I can't let you be without a father. As she spoke, her expression changed to blame, "You are still young, you are not thoughtful, and your mother's begging is all for you." ”

"Didn't you say that Grandpa is invincible?" I'm a little strange, I don't admit what my mother said herself.

"But my mother has to think about you, outsiders know that you are a parent and a divorced child, and no good family is willing to marry you."

Is a woman's value only to marry? It has been a hundred years since the women of Qi became officials······

I remembered the lube I found in my grandfather's bedroom two years ago. While my mother was resting in her bedroom, I slipped into Grandpa's bedroom and found a few letters in the secret compartment under his bed. There are only a few words in the first few letters, talking about the price of something, and there is a letter in the middle with the words "Lang Jun, very much". The paper is coarse, the ink is dry, it doesn't look like something for the rich and noble, the wind is a little cowardly, revealing a girlish spirit, but the power is not small, it should be written by a man. Turning it back, a letter with more than three people on it appeared to be a record of a meeting, full of foul language.

This is the intersection of the immortal realm and the mortal realm, and the officials all use communicators to show their identity. The paper message must be a common person's house, I don't know which village is under the jurisdiction of Grandpa?

A little surprised, a little surprised.

Grandpa, can't you bear it? The only thing I'm glad for is that I won't suddenly run out of an outer room to block me.

In less than a month, my mother reconciled with my grandfather. In fact, what is the difference between being good and not being good? But I can only say a few words, the broken blue and white porcelain vase is still broken, lying on the ground and no one to clean it up.

I asked my mother: "Won't my mother and grandpa reconcile and leave?" ”

"Why do you think about your father and mother all day long?" My mother asked me rhetorically.

"How will you reconcile with Grandpa?" I asked her again.

"You don't study hard and try to interfere in my life all day long! Do you still want to be admitted to Songyang Immortal Academy? "My mother was angry, but I didn't care.

"What if Grandpa stole someone?"

"What do you know? Or do you have proof that he stole people? Say! The mother suddenly raised her voice.

"Nope." I said weakly.

"What didn't you provoke?"

It's night. Grandpa and my mother quarreled again, as for the reason, I don't know, after all, I am a good baby sleeping in the bedroom. However, as a good daughter, I still poked my head out to see the situation.

Still in the main hall, next to the desk. The mother seems to have been forced to the bottom line, and pressed a fruit knife against Grandpa's neck.

Grandpa was not afraid at all, "You cut!" You have the ability to cut it! ”

The mother's hand trembled even more, her eyes widened, but her hand slowly withdrew.

Seeing this, Grandpa reached out to grab her knife, but her mother grabbed the knife with both hands and refused to let go, and while pulling, the knife that was swinging in front of the two of them suddenly sank into Grandpa's stomach.

The mother withdrew her hand from the handle of the knife, screamed and hurriedly covered her mouth.

Grandpa was surprised at first and didn't react, and then his face was full of pain, he stretched out a hand to grab his mother, and his mother took a few steps back to avoid it.

"Save me, save me······" Grandpa moved in the direction of his mother.

"No ······" The mother just shook her head, not knowing whether she couldn't believe that she had killed her father or refused to save him.

Grandpa still went, my mother was in tears, and I cried so much that I cried to the sky.

One season later.

The neighborhood no longer comforts the mother as soon as they meet, and the Yue family no longer comes to ask about the cause of Grandpa's death. The mother began to wear clothes of delicate colors and put on beautiful makeup. When talking to people, it is often as if unintentionally asking about the situation of a single man from a wealthy family.

The most she said to me was no longer "Is it okay for my mother to make this for you?" Rather, "I can marry better without you." ”

The mother's appearance is very beautiful, and the grandfather is also handsome, what are the two resenting each other for ten years? Maybe the two of them are only united because they can't find someone better looking better than each other in their matching family backgrounds? None of them have good personalities, one is irritable, vents his emotions without scruples, and the other is cowardly, not daring to change others, let alone himself. It's not just because of her mother's retreat that she has a reputation for being gentle and virtuous in the community, and I think that a patriarchal family will like this kind of wife.

······

When I was ten years old, Songyang Immortal Academy came to Yuecheng to enroll students, and the enrollment office was set in Yang County, Songyang Immortal Academy is the first of the four great immortal courtyards of Qi State, and all immortal cultivators yearn for it. Naturally, I was going to answer the call.

There are three hurdles for admission to Songyang Xianyuan, which are outside the hospital, hospital examination, and admission, and the disciples with the best qualifications can become disciples after being photographed by Mr. The first hurdle is presided over by twenty Senwon students, and it needs to be someone with outstanding ability and who is trusted by the teacher. I was greeted by a man in Tsing Yi, and I handed in my household registration certificate, state and county test results and a letter of introduction, and then looked at him obediently.

He flipped through it and returned the certificate and letter to me. This means that it is not accepted.

I asked him, "Immortal Chief, why don't you accept me?" ”

His attitude was cold, "Your qualifications are not enough. ”

"Is there nowhere to go to Songyang Immortal Courtyard?"

"Your qualifications are not qualified, besides, do you think that Songyang Immortal Courtyard can enter if you have enough qualifications?"

"What else is needed then?" I looked at him eagerly.

"Humph!" He snorted and stopped talking.

A carriage drove past us and into the courtyard.

"Is that also here to answer the call?" I stared blankly at the ruts left by the wagon.

"Don't look at it, your identities are different." The man in Tsing Yi's voice was stiff, like an explanation, more like a warning.

If the identity is really different, I saw a number of luxury carriages driving into Yangyang, and the next thing is to drive into the inner courtyard of the admissions office. I watched it for a while, and then walked home with my information, and on the way I met the neighbor's plum tree setting up a stall under the big willow tree.

"Meizi, is today's sour plum soup ready?"

"When it's done, do you want a bowl?" As she spoke, she had already filled a bowl and put it on the small table.

"Let's talk about it first, I didn't bring any money today, but I can give you a way to make money." I sat down on a chair at the small table and said to Meizi.

"Drink, drink, it's not bad for your money." Meizi waved her hand.

"Knock knock······ This kind of weather is saved by sour plum soup. "The weather in August was still very hot, and I drank the sour plum soup in one go." Meizi, your recipe is ancestral, this is the only one, how can you only guard this small street? Today, Songyang Xianyuan came to our county to recruit students, have you heard? There are a lot of people in the admissions office, and you can make a lot of money doing business in the shade of the neighborhood. Your craftsmanship is even dignitary, and nobles will also feel fresh. ”

"Ah, but, our family has been here for generations······" She said this, but she no longer put anything out of her hands.

"Go and see, don't you want to see it for a long time?"

"I heard that dignitaries and nobles all eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, can they look down on our local things?" Now she is in dire need of affirmation.

"If you add more dried plum blossoms, our characteristics here are not available elsewhere, and the nobles will feel fresh when they taste it." I smacked my lips and savored the mellow aroma of dried plum blossoms.

"Are you with me?" She decided that she was going to set up a stall at the admissions office.

"I have to go back and put things away, you go first, sell a few more bowls."

"Then hurry up!"

"Definitely!" I answered and walked home with my papers.

When I got home, I saw that my mother's spirit was picking out clothes, "Mother." "I ran over and hugged her.

"Coming back so soon? Does Songyang Senyuan want you? ”

I shook my head.

"Well, weren't you confident before? I guess you're not going to pass the test. ”

"I didn't let me take the test, but I looked at the household registration and let me come back." I'm not convinced.

"Anyway, you just didn't pass the test, so I said, what are you doing in this test? Mother will find you a good mother-in-law, so that you can have a husband to rely on and live a comfortable life. "After choosing her clothes, she went to the dressing mirror to make up.

I looked at his back with a cold face when I heard this, but I still said in a sweet voice: "Mother, why don't you take me to the admissions office again, there are a lot of big carriages, big and beautiful!" ”

"Really, with you, my mother has no time to rest."

I looked at the light in her eyes and smiled.

When I arrived at the admissions office, there was a carriage that I didn't know what was going on, and the servants were all facing inside. Mei Zi drooped her head, and was being questioned by two guards with knives on their waists, and saw me and my mother as if they had seen a savior, "Aunt Yue, Ah Lou, come and help me explain, there is absolutely nothing unclean in my sour plum soup!" ”

As soon as Meizi's words came out, I felt my mother's hand pull me back, and I used a strong force to pull my mother in the direction of Meizi. When they arrived, the two sword-wielding guards immediately turned around and asked, "Who is it?" ”

"We're just ······" The mother wanted to answer.

Over there, Meizi said to a white-clothed attendant who came out of the carriage: "Your Ah Lang's stomach pain is really none of my business!" ”

"Healer." I preemptively replied.

"Yes, healer." The mother echoed, "I'm the female doctor here, and I'm afraid something has happened when I see people surrounding here." ”

"Do you have a certificate?" The guard asked again.

"Naturally." The mother went to roll up her sleeves as she spoke, but obviously, she didn't carry a doctor's certificate after changing into a gorgeous costume today.

"Who?" The curtain of the car embroidered with delicate patterns was lifted, revealing the face of a middle-aged man, Sven. I could feel that the moment the curtain was lifted, his eyes were completely attracted to his mother.

The mother replied, "Healer." "When she said these two words, her voice was extraordinarily gentle." Lang Jun has abdominal pain after drinking sour plum soup? Why don't you let me see? ”

"See what?" The man's voice was much softer than Fang Cai's.

"Sour plum soup."

The attendant brought the sour plum soup to his mother, who smelled it and immediately concluded: "Lang Jun is not from this county, right?" This sour plum soup has the county's special dried plum blossoms, full of energy, Lang Jun eats it back to the head, and the stomach is afraid that it can't stand it, so it's good to drink warm goat milk slowly. ”

The mother took someone home to get warm goat milk, and the man drank it, and the pain was really relieved. When thanking his mother, the man showed his identity - Yue Siqin, the lord of Yuecheng, sent his eldest son Yue Jing to Songyang Immortal Academy.

Later, someone asked me: Who is the noble person of your life? I replied, "My stepfather, the more secretive he is."

Someone asked me, "Who is the murderer who is what you are today?" I replied: Many, if you have to say one, then it must be my stepfather, who is more secretive and diligent.

My mother succeeded in marrying the lord of Yuecheng with her beauty and wisdom, and she thought that she had reached the pinnacle of her life, and began to enjoy it with peace of mind and not struggle. But I can't, not to mention whether my mother's face will be pitied for a long time, just talking about my identity does not allow me to be content with the status quo day and night - I am a stepdaughter, although my surname is Yue, but I am not the Yue of the city lord of Yuecheng, my biological father is just a servant.

My stepfather, Yue Siqin, had two sons with his deceased wife, and he only had two sons, and I became the only daughter of Yue Fu. I don't have to worry about eating and drinking in this life, and no one embarrass me, but I never want more than that.

My mother gave birth to a son after entering the house for more than a year, and named it Cong, and the White Deer Cave Immortal Academy sent someone to send me an admission post, and the Yue Mansion was double happy.

When my younger brother was full moon, I set off to study in the White Deer Cave Immortal Temple.

Ride a horse to the front of the White Deer Cave Immortal Courtyard, raise your eyes, the White Deer Cave Immortal Courtyard sits in the north and faces south, goes up to the bluestone steps, the green willows on both sides are weeping shade, and the blue stream is softly groaning. Dismounting, you can see that from near to far, there are five tall courtyard gates arranged in order to form five courtyards, and each courtyard has two to three entrances. A stone tablet is erected in the middle hall, and the book "White Deer Cave Academy School Rules" says:

Father and son are related; Monarchs and ministers are righteous; Husbands and wives are different; The young and the old are orderly; Friends have letters.

The purpose of the right five religions: Yao Shun makes the deed for Situ, and respects the five religions, that is, this is also. Scholars learn this, and the order of learning is also five, as listed on the left: erudition; interrogation; Think about it; discernment; Do it.

The right is the order of learning, learning, asking, thinking, discernment, four, so the poor reason. If the husband is committed to doing things, he will self-cultivate and even deal with things, and he will also have his own needs, as follows: faithful in words and respectful in deeds; Punish resentment and suffocation, and change for the better.

The key to self-cultivation on the right: righteousness does not seek its benefits, and it is clear that its way does not count its merits.

The right thing to do: do not do to others what you do not want to do to yourself; If you can't do it, you should ask for yourself.

The key to the right connection: its business record, for the word chapter, to the reputation of fishing.

After the report, I met with the two deans with the letter that Yue Siqin had given me. Li She, the left dean of the White Deer Cave Immortal Academy, appreciated me very much, of course, how much of this appreciation was for my qualifications, and how much was for my identity. However, the right dean Li Bo does not admire power when he talks, and he sees that he is upright.

According to the rules of the White Deer Cave, new disciples will only formally apprentice after one year of collective practice, so that the gentlemen can choose the students who are suitable for their own teaching. The White Deer Cave Immortal Academy has been suppressed by the Songyang Immortal Academy for many years, and now the two deans have been in the position for more than ten years and are not allowed to enter the room.

In the White Deer Courtyard, the heavy eaves are gray tiles, and the granite stone under the eaves is inscribed with the words "White Deer Courtyard". In the small courtyard inside the door, there is a row of side rooms in the east and west. The pillars of the corridor have poetic couplets. The West Corridor Column Couplet: "The rain passes through the piano and the book runs, and the wind comes to Han Mo Xiang", and the East Corridor Column Couplet: "A hundred years of trees, read ten thousand books". There is a hexagonal stone table in the courtyard, and the stone pillar under the table is engraved with a relief lion rolling hydrangea, a tiger descending the mountain, a galloping horse and a wolf howling picture. In the meantime, I often introspect: "I am the eldest lady of Yuefu, and I am also the daughter of a small official in Yangxian County." "People can forget where I came from, but I can't.

A year passed in a blink of an eye, and the White Deer Cave apprenticeship meeting.

In the early morning of the same day, I got up early and looked at myself in the mirror, with spring water in my eyes and pink cheeks, like my mother, and then embellished with fat powder, which was undoubtedly the best appearance among all the disciples.

Over the past year, I have specially observed the disciples of this year, the number of disciples in this session is 200, in terms of cultivation, the only ones who can be compared with me are Wu Tai, the eldest son of the city lord of Wucheng, and Qi Peng, the eldest son of the dean of Songyang Immortal Academy. Talent, natural posture, has a lot to do with the qualifications of their parents, their parents are not my parents can compare, so even if my qualifications have surpassed most people, it is difficult to compare with the family······

Rite Temple, Apprenticeship Meeting.

The new disciples all embroidered white deer and silver shirts, and stood on top of the main hall with their heads bowed slightly. Zuo Dean Li Shi reviewed first, and I felt that he paused when he walked in front of me, and walked away. Then there was Li Bo, the dean on the right, when he came over, I raised my head and looked at him fixedly, and he seemed to feel something and looked back at me.

"Yuelou, the daughter of the city lord of Yuecheng?"

"It's the disciple."

"What kind of spell?"

"Naturally. Please move in. ”

I led him out of the lobby to the clearing in the woods on the side of the hall, and when I looked back, no one was following me. I had already planted the planks in the place in advance, and five planks were inserted two inches into the soil in a fan-shaped shape. Fang stood still, luck and force in one go, the white light flashed in his hand, an invisible push hand was cast, the planks fell to the ground together, I slapped my waist and hips, a dagger was suspended, and the stress was nailed into the trunk in front of me.

Dean Right did not hide his praise for me, "Yes, Mr. Yuefu taught you very well. ”

"I practiced it myself." I raised an eyebrow.

"Oh? How did you practice yourself? He asked me with a smile, like an old slippery head coaxing a child to tell his secret.

"Read a book." With that, I walked up to the tree into which the dagger had been driven, pulled it out with all my might, and then walked quickly back to him, stood on tiptoe, approached him, and proudly showed off: "This strength can pierce a man's stomach." ”

"How do you know?" He suddenly looked at me with a sharp gaze.

"I guess the best one I can break a plank, and it's almost the same as hurting people." I looked at him with wide eyes.

His right hand put on my head, "Ah Lou, the purpose of teaching you to practice spells for the teacher is to make you become an immortal and benefit all the people in the future, not to let you hurt people." ”

I immediately knelt down and bowed to the master, "Remember the master's teachings." ”

"In the past year, I have observed you for a long time, and I am very pleased that you have the fastest cultivation speed among the students in this class. Sometimes you can't help but worry, afraid that you will cultivate your body too quickly and forget to cultivate your mind. ”

"The heart of a disciple - always the same." I looked him in the eye.

After a while, he made sure that I was telling the truth, and returned a loving gaze.

At the end of the apprenticeship meeting, Dean Zuo selected three disciples, Wu Tai, Qi Peng, and Yan Feng. Master accepted me, Teng Wei and Tan Yi as three disciples.

According to the rules of the White Deer Cave, the ranking between the disciples does not look at the age, does not look at the entry time, only looks at the level of ability, and the person who enters the room for three years, cultivates to be top-notch, talented, and can convince the disciples, is the senior brother or senior sister. Prior to this, disciples used honorifics among themselves, calling each other "Senior Brother or Senior Sister". The ranks among the disciples in the gate are arranged in the order in which they step into the gate of the White Deer Cave.

You see, the rules of this White Deer Cave show competition everywhere.

······

The Yan Hotel in Bailu Cave is a dormitory group, the dean lives on the top floor of the Chunfeng Building, the disciples who enter the room live with their respective masters, and the disciples in the door live and fast. Chunfeng Building is actually two buildings, the left dean lives in the east building, the master lives in the west building, the two buildings each have three floors and eight bedrooms, the eaves are flying tiles, the carved beams and paintings are all different, there are corridors to communicate, the shape is like a building.

After the eight disciples followed Master to Chunfeng Tower, I took the lead in choosing the one on the east side of the second floor, Tan Yi chose the one on the west side, and Teng Wei chose the one next door to me.

After the room was divided, everyone cleaned up, I saw that I didn't have many things in my little self, and I had the heart to clean up quickly, and in about half an hour, the big things in the room were arranged neatly according to my habits. But I don't want anyone to be faster than me.

There was a knock on the door, "Ah Lou, have you cleaned up?" It was Teng Wei's voice.

"Not yet." I opened the door as I returned.

"I've already packed it up, why don't you ······ I'll help you. His face was flushed, and he was talking to me but not looking at me.

I leaned over and invited him into the house, trying to pour him a glass of water, but I remembered that I hadn't fetched it yet. "There's no tea to entertain you, so why don't you eat some fruit?" I went to my baggage to turn over the fruits I had picked in the woods in the morning.

"No, since you haven't fetched water yet, why don't I do it." Before I could refuse, he had already picked up the kettle and walked out.

"Then there will be labor." Looking at his back, I suddenly realized that this person was a little interesting.

Yes, I have been so busy practicing the Dharma for the past year that I have neglected to develop friendships with my classmates. However, it just so happened that the disciples who entered the room and the disciples in the door were treated as they should.

After a while, Teng Wei fetched back the water, I was putting my dressing things away, he boiled the water, and then walked up to me, "What else is there to clean up?" ”

"Why are you embarrassed?" I put the comb in the dresser.

"Uh, I ······" He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.

"I thought I was cleaning up fast enough, but I didn't expect you to be faster." I pushed up the drawer of the dresser and got up to say to him.

"Girls, it's normal to have more things. Why don't I clean up for you? These rooms used to be empty, and although they were cleaned before we came, we cleaned them ourselves. He added.

I was a little surprised by his kindness, but I agreed, "Okay." Thank you very much. ”

"Take care of my sister, you should."

He said it naturally, but when I heard my subordinates, I moved, "heh", and didn't speak again.

After cleaning the dormitory, I proposed, "Call that Senior Brother Tan, let's go out together." It's been a year, and I haven't even moved to my own college. ”

"Very good."

Compared with Teng Wei's initiative to show goodwill, Tan Yi was a little cold, and when he left the Yan Hotel, he suddenly said: "In the future, I will be my own senior brother, I have visited the fairy courtyard many times, and you can come to me wherever you want to go in the future." ”

Teng Wei and I immediately laughed and said, "Yes! ”

After leaving the Yan Hotel, I proposed to go to the Imperial Book Pavilion, and in my opinion, the grading criteria of a college are nothing more than three points: teachers, students, and book collections. The two of them agreed.

We arrived at the Imperial Book Pavilion, and there were few people in the pavilion. Teng Wei and Tan Yi picked up the books on the bookshelf near the door and looked at them, and I walked to the top floor alone. Most of the bookshelves in the Imperial Library are made of boxwood, but the innermost bookshelves on the top floor are ebony, and there are hundreds of books on the shelves, a book called "Qi's Jade Words", Fang opened it from the middle, and Tan Yi's voice came from behind him: "Senior Sister Yue? ”

"In!" I hurriedly closed the book in my hand and put it back in its place, and secretly wrote down the words "Concentric Mantra" in the book.

"Senior Sister Yue, why did you come here?"

"Ah Lou, as soon as Senior Brother Tan and I turn our heads, you will be gone." Teng Wei asked as he followed behind Tan Yi.

"I'm curious, I want to come upstairs and have a look." I coped.

"Are there any good books here?" Teng Wei said, walking up to me, his eyes fixed on the bookshelf behind me.

"The book must be good, but I can't read ······" I blushed slightly and moved my face away.

"The first floor is the book of our new disciple, and it is normal that you can't read the book on the upper floor. Let's go down, Senior Brother Teng and I just saw several books on the first floor that are beneficial to cultivation, so why don't we borrow them. Tan Yi said.

"Okay, let's go down here."

The three of them picked a total of ten books on the bookshelf on the first floor, and agreed to read the books in their hands after reading them.

Evening.

When I went back to Chunfeng Tower, I met the three disciples of Dean Zuo downstairs, and listening to their conversation, it seemed that they were going to gather in Juxian Tower. I ran to ask Teng and Tan, do we want to get together?

Tan Yi said: "I don't care about these vanities. ”

Teng Wei said: "The three of them are from different cities, and they are far apart, and they are not very familiar with each other after being admitted to the hospital for a year. The hometown of the three of us is Lincheng, and we have often communicated since we were admitted to the hospital, so we don't have to be like them. ”

Tan Yi thought for a while and said: "Juxian Mansion is gorgeously laid out and the dishes are expensive, it is better for the three of us to find a cool place and put dinner in, which is also elegant." ”

Teng Wei proposed: "When I visited the courtyard in the past, I saw the southeast of the Yan Hotel, at the foot of the mountain on the left wing, there is a book survey platform, and the scenery is good. ”

The west of the library survey platform is facing the five old peaks, and the Shengze Spring is next to it, the cliffs and rocks are steep, and the stream is turbulent. Sitting near the water, sparkling, cool breeze hits. I remember that the crescent moon was crooked that day, as if it heralded a good beginning.

After we had eaten and drunk enough, we began to talk about the world, and because of the first teacher, we got a lot closer to each other.

I took a sip of the fruit wine that Teng Wei stole from home and said, "Qi Chengzi has always studied at Songyang Immortal Academy, but this time he sent his second son to Bailu Cave Immortal Academy. ”

Teng Wei replied: "Qi Ying, the eldest son of the Qi City Lord who was sent to the Songyang Immortal Academy, won the title of 'Senior Brother' as soon as he entered the hospital, and the division commander praised him, and his classmates were all in awe, so not majestic!" ”

Tan Yi sneered, "Now the dean of the Songyang Immortal Courtyard is the younger brother of the City Lord of Qi City, and it is better to go home than to enter the Songyang Immortal Courtyard in Qi Ying!" This Songyang Immortal Courtyard is surnamed Qi, and then send his nephew into the White Deer Cave, isn't it ······"

Teng Wei thought for a while, "It stands to reason that the Lord of Qi City was the senior brother of Songyang back then, and the dean's position was not the turn of the younger brother. It's a pity that the ancestor demon king didn't ask about the world after the feathering, Qi Cheng fell into a hundred saliva crusades, and the Qi City Lord was a person who cherished his reputation very much, and he was busy excusing Qi Cheng all day long, so the position of the dean of Songyang fell to the head of the current dean. ”

I sighed, "Since the Ancestor Demon King feathered, Qi Cheng is afraid that it will be difficult to return to its former glory. ”

Teng Wei patted me on the shoulder, and then said with a smile: "I remembered that I met the three people in the East Building today, Senior Brother Qi and Senior Brother Wu had some disputes over their positions. ”

"Do you want to go in the middle?" I asked.

"Naturally, Senior Brother Qi was crushed by his cousin in Qi City, and he is not the whole boss when he arrives here?"

"Huh!" Tan Yi also smiled when he heard it.

"Actually, speaking of which, I am the eldest in the family, and my two elder brothers are in Songyang Immortal Courtyard." Speaking of Qi Cheng, why not your own family?

"I'm the old man too." Teng Wei smiled.

"I'm the second, and my brother also went to Songyang." Tan Yi's eyes were heavy and unhappy.

"So it's better to come to White Deer Cave." I went to pull the sleeves of the two of them, "If you go to Songyang to participate in the election of disciples, maybe you won't even be able to compete with your own brother." ”

"Yes, yes."

"That's right."

Early morning.

All the disciples gathered in the Lingxing Gate Courtyard. Mr. Juzi was in charge of the courtyard, and he taught us the first sword lesson.

"In the past year, everyone's courses have been based on theory, and this year, both theory and practice are emphasized. In this class, I will do the most basic sword formation first, and if you can keep up, you can follow it, and if you can't keep up, you can look at it carefully. ”，

Ju Zi stands on the training platform, holding the scabbard in his left hand, and taking out the sword in his right hand, the cold light flashes, and his body is like a cloud, free to retract and release, unpredictable, and finally all forms are combined into one shape.

After a set of swordsmanship, there were only two people left on the training platform, Mrs. Wu and me.

At the end of the morning's lessons, everyone was a little tired, so they hurriedly ate lunch and went back to their dormitories. The afternoon class was to practice the Mind Method, and when I saw that the sun was very big, I boiled some sour plum soup and sent it to a few senior brothers, and the last person to send it was Qi Peng.

I knocked on the door and asked, "Senior Brother Qi, I boiled some sour plum soup, let's drink some." ”

A voice came from the room: "No need, you can go and give it to the other senior brothers and sisters." ”

"But Senior Sister still has a few tricks I want to ask."

I was about to say something, but the door opened, and Qi Peng bowed slightly, "Come in." ”

When I entered his bedroom and put down the sour plum soup, I saw that the furnishings were very simple, and there were almost no personal things.

He was packing up his things, it seemed that he was lazy and didn't finish cleaning up yesterday, "When I watched Senior Brother Ju's demonstration, only you and Senior Brother Wu could keep up, why didn't you go to him, but came to ask me instead?" ”

"If you can keep up, if you learn well, you are still Senior Brother Qi." I walked up behind him, "I'll help you." So saying, I went to get his baggage.

"Not necessarily!" He reached over and grabbed it.

"Smack!" With a bang, a scroll fell to the ground and scattered most of it. But see a portrait of a man in a blue robe.

"This is ······" I picked up the portrait.

"Uncle." He immediately took it back.

"You miss him like this?" Qi Peng's uncle is the current city lord of Qi City.

"My cousin taught me to carry it, so as to encourage me to live up to my uncle's expectations." He quickly put away the portrait and placed it in the corner of the desk, and didn't look at me with a red face.

Cousin? Let's camp! I thought about it for a while, and I said, "The city lord is very heroic. ”

"You can't do it? I teach you. His tone suddenly became soft, and he diverted the subject.

"The second move."

He showed me through, and I stole my gaze to the portrait. When the portrait was unfolded, I saw that the picture was as neat as new, with slightly yellowed curls at the corners, which showed that the painting was deeply cherished by the owner, but it was inevitably worn out over the years. Qi Peng hurriedly covered up the portrait when I found it, and after taking it back, he put it in the corner of his desk without paying much attention, so this portrait was probably not owned by him in the first place.

After one move, he put away his sword and asked me, "Can you see clearly?" ”

"See clearly, thank you Senior Brother Qi."

I said goodbye to Qi Peng, Fang walked to the door of the bedroom, and Teng Wei opened the door. "Ah Lou, there are still classes in the afternoon, why haven't you rested?"

"I also sent sour plum soup to several brothers and sisters. By the way, I haven't had time to ask you, how does the soup taste? ”

"Naturally, it's great." He raised the book in his hand for a moment, and then said, "I'm going to go to the academy to preview earlier, do you want to come with me?" ”

"Yes!"

"You go get the book, I'll call Senior Brother Tan."

"Okay, senior brother, wait a minute."

On the way to the academy, I asked Teng Tan and the others, "Do the two senior brothers know anything about Qi Ying?" ”

"I don't know much, but I've heard that he is a talented and diligent and studious person. Why did you suddenly ask about him? Teng Wei said first.

"I met Senior Brother Qi this morning, and remembered that Qi Ying was Senior Brother Qi's cousin, and I heard about Qi Ying's prestige in Songyang Immortal Academy, and I was curious for a while."

Tan Yi spoke, "I have had a few interactions with him, he is decisive, and he is a resolute person." It's just that I get tired of talking crookedly, and once it comes to any truth, I open my mouth and close my mouth to 'Grandpa said'. ”

"Perhaps, the City Lord of Qi has said a lot of truthful truths?" I finished and smiled at the two of them.

······

In the second year of apprenticeship, when the disciples were discharged from the hospital in turn, I, Teng Wei, and Tan Yi went to Yuecheng, and the three senior brothers and sisters in the East Building went to Wucheng.

Approaching Yuecheng, the horses are also a little tired, let alone people.

"Two senior brothers, when you arrive in Yuecheng, I will be the east, don't be polite to me." I glanced at the gate of Yuecheng in front of me and said to the two of them.

"Okay, then next time I invite you to Tengcheng to eat cold gear and drink grits soup." Teng Wei patted me on the shoulder.

"I'll go to Tancheng, please." This is Tan Yi.

Before entering the city gate, several teenagers of the same age wearing purple clouds embroidered on a blue background entered the city gate a few steps ahead of us.

Teng Wei pointed out: "It's from Tianfu, go say hello?" ”

"The content of this experience is unknown, so let's do it next time." I persuaded.

Actually, you should go up and say hello, but ······ I looked at the disciple at the end of the queue in Ying Tianfu's group, there was a groom on his horse's side, although I had never seen him wear a primary color linen, but that figure was still very familiar to me. The man didn't know what to say to the man on the horse, but when he looked at his face, I could see it more clearly—the disgusting countenance. Compared with the fierce appearance of me from before, he is now servile and obedient, teaching people to be happy. It's just that it's still a little exciting to see the buried people come back to life again.

After the three of them entered Yuecheng, they were dismounting and slipping, and the transmission note flashed, and they received the exam question from Ju Zi, which said: Collect the required magic weapons and cast the fourth-order Qingling Sword.

"Fourth-order magic weapon, the question is not difficult." Teng Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

"I know which sword forging shop has the best sword, and you can follow me when you have collected all the magic weapons." After speaking, I put my arm on the shoulders of the two of them and said with a smile: "Eat first!" How about eating spring rolls, jade siu mai, and dried shrimp today? ”

"Obey my sister's arrangement."

"Ah Lou likes it."

Two voices sounded at the same time, and Teng Wei's "Ah Lou" was particularly abrupt.

"Speaking of which, how many years have Senior Brother Teng and Senior Sister Yue known each other?" Tan Yi asked.

"More than two years." Teng Wei replied.

"Listening to the senior brother 'Ah Lou Ah Lou', I thought you and my sister had known each other for many years." Tan Yi's tone sounded a little strange, but looking at his indifferent expression, it was the same as usual.

"Uh······" Teng Wei was dumbfounded.

"They are all brothers in the same sect, and it doesn't matter what they call them." I said.

Tan Yi pulled the reins, "Let's go, let's eat." There was a bit of an awkward atmosphere.

After the meal, we decided to go to the neighboring city of Wucheng first to look for the gems set on the scabbard of the Qingling Sword.

"The training location of the three senior brothers and sisters in the East Building is in Wucheng, I don't know if I can meet them." Teng Wei was chattering, and the sound of an argument came not far ahead.

Qi Peng: "Senior brothers should help each other, since you know the location of the gem, why don't you tell us?" ”

Mrs. Wu: "I don't know. ”

Qi Peng: "You are the son of the city lord of Wucheng, how can you not know?" “

Mrs. Wu: "Yes, I know. I'll tell Senior Brother Yan, but I won't tell you. ”
