Zhong Minyan is the youngest of the male disciples of the Min generation of Shaoyang Peak, and the Min generation is the youngest generation of disciples of the entire Shaoyang Sect. Therefore, many miscellaneous matters that the senior brothers were too lazy to deal with would be handed over to him, and he was several times busier than other disciples every day.

Therefore, forgetting things also happens to him often.

After lunch that day, he came to the martial arts training ground early, and before he could swing his sword a few times, a few senior brothers came to discuss with him. The second senior brother Chen Minjue was the most cunning, and when he saw that he was going to lose to the little junior brother, he suddenly said: "Minyan, will you send food to the little junior sister in the future?" ”

Zhong Minyan was shocked in his heart, and the sword move immediately revealed a flaw, Chen Minjue took advantage of the weakness, turned his wrist, knocked his sword down, and said with a smile: "You lost." Let's hurry up and deliver food, right? Otherwise, Shi Niang will feel distressed when she finds out. ”

He actually forgot! Zhong Minyan ran out of the martial arts training ground in a gloomy manner and went to the kitchen to get food. It's just that Xuanji rarely appears in the martial arts training ground, and he doesn't bother to pay attention to this little junior sister's affairs, and the newly learned immortal method in the morning is complicated, so he only cares about practicing tricks, and he actually forgets about her confinement.

It's really annoying, Xuan Xuanji must have an enmity with him, she is confined, and he is also unlucky, he has to run to that terrible Mingxia Cave three times a day, and the time for afternoon cultivation is also forced to be shortened.

Although he usually likes to joke and smiles at everything, he seems to be uneasy, but he is actually a high-minded and arrogant person. He has the lowest seniority, and he is usually not taken very seriously, and he is always called to do this and that, so he is extremely strict in his practice, to the point of being harsh, and vows to surpass the senior brother and never let people underestimate himself. Right now, because he has to deliver food to Xuanji, the time for afternoon cultivation is equal to halved, how can he not be annoyed.

The kitchen lady had already prepared a meal for Xuanji, put it in the basket, and when she saw him coming, she handed it to him with a smile and said, "Oh, let's go." Don't let Xuanji go hungry. Blame the pitiful. ”

Poor ghost! Hateful! She was punished for being lazy, and she actually affected others!

Zhong Minyan walked halfway and quietly lifted the lid, only to see two dishes inside, a bowl of white rice, and a cup of fruit soup. He secretly picked up the largest piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and stuffed it in his mouth, and ate it with relish.

Hmph, don't give that girl a piece to eat!

There was no light in the Mingxia Cave, so Zhong Minyan had prepared torches early. It was easy to row to the stone house, but it was dark inside, and there was no sound. He said coldly: "Xuan Xuanji, eat." ”

No one paid any attention to him.

Zhong Minyan was a little annoyed: "Xuan Xuanji! He raised his throat.

Still no one paid attention to him.

Zhong Minyan finally felt that something was wrong, and quickly jumped ashore and ran into the stone house, waving the torch, but saw the little girl huddled up on the stone bed, as if she was asleep, and she was still holding a rattle in her hand. On the stone platform next to it, there was a pool of burnt candle tears, as well as three unburned candles and a flint.

He sighed, reached out to push her, and said, "Xuan Xuanji, wake up, it's time to eat." ”

Xuanji opened his eyes in a daze, but saw that the fire in front of him was bright, Zhong Minyan looked at himself impatiently, and he was still carrying a large black basket in his hand.

"Eat." Zhong Minyan put the food on the stone platform, and when she looked back, she was shrinking there and not moving, and couldn't help but be angry, "If you don't eat, just say it, I will fly around every day and waste time." ”

Xuanji only felt chills all over her body, and she didn't want to move. This man had always been cruel to himself, as if he owed him a debt. I want to quarrel with him, but I don't have the energy; If you don't eat it, I'm afraid that my mother will be sad. She hesitated for a long time, so she had to climb down from the bed, wrapped in a pile of clothes and pick up the rice bowl.

Fortunately, the food is still warm and delicious. She ate most of it, and when she looked up and saw Zhong Minyan staring at her, she said softly, "Do you want to eat too?" ”

Zhong Minyan was told the central matter, his face turned slightly red, and he snorted: "Hurry up and eat, I'll go back to practice quickly." ”

Xuanji took a sip of soup and said, "You can leave now." Come back and clean up the old dishes at dinner time so you don't waste much of your time. ”

He didn't expect her to say such a thing, and after a while, he said, "You are here alone, don't you want someone to talk to you more?" ”

Xuanji didn't answer, just quickly finished the meal, put the dishes in the basket and handed it to him: "Eat it, you can take it away." ”

Zhong Minyan was embarrassed to get up, he took the basket in a sneer, and wanted to say something more, seeing that her face was blue with cold, his heart couldn't help but soften, and he said softly: "I'll bring you a quilt and thick clothes at night, right?" ”

Xuanji couldn't ask for it, but since he mentioned it himself, she nodded obediently.

He had rarely seen this little witch so soft and well-behaved, which was very different from the stubborn thing in his impression, so he was a little reluctant to leave. looked left and right, and said, "That...... What more could you want? Book? Or a toy? It's hard to stay alone like this. ”

She shook her head: "No need, don't bother you." ”

Zhong Minyan had no choice but to get on the boat, didn't row a few times, ran back, took off his coat and put it on her, and said angrily: "The clothes will be borrowed from you first, don't get dirty." I'll bring you a few more books and candles in the evening. The little girl has a hard mouth. ”

Xuanji hung his head and didn't speak, he was really not good at getting along with such a weird person, so he had to leave in a hurry.

In the evening, he kept his promise, not only brought two quilts, a few thick clothes, but also a stack of books, a roll of rice paper, inkstones, brushes, etc., and even a small wooden pen holder. As soon as these things were swinged, the cold stone house finally had a warm smell.

"You use these candles first, and I'll bring them to you when they're done. The master asked me to speak to you on your behalf, saying that the cave was wet and cold, and you should pay attention to practicing every day, otherwise you will fall ill. Here is the boxing book of Xuan Ming Boxing, don't forget to practice. ”

As he spoke, seeing Xuanji nodding vigorously again, he couldn't help but smile slightly sarcastically: "This will promise, and you have to turn around as a deaf ear, right?" ”

Xuanji didn't hide it, and said, "Yes, I don't want to practice. But I also don't want people to be angry with me at every turn. Isn't it wrong to nod your head? ”

Zhong Minyan laughed dryly: "Crooked reasoning." If you want to be known by others, you will only be more angry. ”

"That can't be helped. I don't like people yelling at me, and I don't want to practice. ”

"Why don't you like to practice? Don't you want to become an immortal? ”

"Yes, but I'm lazy."

Zhong Minyan felt that if she continued to talk to her, she was afraid that she would have the idea of strangling her again. He really has never seen this kind of person, he is lazy and unashamed, and he still wants to become an immortal.

"Oh, then you can only become a kind of immortal." He said, placing the candle on her bed.

"What immortals?" Xuanji was a child, but she didn't hear that this was a lie, and asked with great interest.

Zhong Minyan hooked the corners of his mouth: "Lazy fairy." You just continue to do nothing like this, maybe one day the heavenly court will send someone down to pick you up and make you a lazy fairy. ”

It turned out that he was still mocking her. Xuanji was a little disappointed, silent for a long time, and said, "I don't want to practice, but I will definitely become an immortal." ”

"Yes, yes, you just wait to become a lazy fairy!" Zhong Minyan turned around and got on the boat, too lazy to talk to her anymore.

The stone house was dead and silent again. Xuanji looked at the candle flame on the desk in a daze, and continued the daily task: in a daze.

I will definitely become an immortal. She seems to have said so.

In fact, even she wondered where this arrogant self-confidence came from, which made her blurt out wild words. She doesn't know boxing, she doesn't have immortal power, and she can't even hold a sword, but she just feels that she should be able to become an immortal.

Maybe Zhong Minyan is right, she can only be a lazy fairy.

Other immortals can't do it, this lazy fairy, who else can she be?

But it was said that Xuanji was thinking alone here, and everyone in the Shaoyang faction who was busy holding the hairpin flower conference over there had already forgotten about her.

On August 14, the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the heads of the five major factions and dignitaries from various tribes gathered at the top of Shaoyang Peak to make the final screening for the hairpin flower conference. As in previous years, the lottery decided that the five of them would go to the Great Wasteland to catch demons as the highlight after the competition.

Speaking of the hairpin flower conference, others are not much, but Linglong is the most exciting one. I watched her run in and out all day long, looking for her father and mother everywhere. It was only because the hairpin flower conference was only held once in five years, and the entire Shaoyang Sect, including the youngest male disciple, Zhong Minyan, had seen it, so although he was excited, he could control it. Linglong is the first time in her life to participate in this kind of martial arts competition, five years ago she was only six years old, where can she remember the competition at that time. It's just that she was excited and sad for Xuanji, she was locked up in the dark Mingxia Cave alone, and she couldn't see this lively scene.

On this day, she pestered her mother all morning, grinding to go to the summit to watch the lottery together, and was easily persuaded by He Danping with a piece of osmanthus cake. Who knew that as soon as she walked on her front foot, Linglong on her back foot encouraged Zhong Minyan to accompany her to the peak.

"No, I'm going to deliver food to Xuanji soon. Besides, the master said that children should not join in the fun, there are all elders and masters who have attained the Tao, and it is not good to accidentally bump into anyone. ”

Zhong Minyan rejected her request.

Linglong hurriedly said: "Then you will go after you finish sending it!" Let's go up and take a look and come down, shall we? I promise to be very well-behaved and never cause trouble. ”

Zhong Minyan said while loading vegetables into the basket: "After delivering the meal, I'm going to practice." Don't worry, you can see all the excitement in another half a month, and no one will stop you. ”

Linglong couldn't bear it, grabbed his sleeve and screamed at his good brother, and he was about to twist into a twist.

"Just come with me! Look at the lottery! Brother Minyan! Good big brother! Please, take me! ”

Zhong Minyan has always had no idea about this kind of stalking, so he had to sigh: "My little ancestor, you let go first." If you want the senior brothers to see it, my skin can't be protected by the master. I'll deliver food to Sister Xuanji first, and then I'll go back, okay? ”

Seeing that he agreed, Linglong couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said, "Let's go up and have a look first, and come down soon, and then you can go and deliver food to Xuanji!" Just take a look at it, so you don't have to worry about being discovered! ”

Zhong Minyan had no choice but to lose the basket and run to the top by herself.

The top of Shaoyang Peak is the Shouyang Hall headed by the head of the house, and it is also the hall for entertaining visitors. There are only two ways to go up: use the white jade Changgui placed on the edge of the cliff to fly up; Or just climb the stairs obediently and go around in a circle, which will take at least half an hour.

This is the arrogance of the Shaoyang faction, it is not easy to receive incompetents, either you go back obediently, or you obediently climb up. The peak of Shaoyang is towering into the clouds, and the strange rocks are craggy, and ordinary people are generally daunted.

"Climb up?" Zhong Minyan's face was like a bitter melon, and his legs trembled when he looked at the stone steps where most of them were hidden in the clouds.

"Fly up, of course!" Linglong pouted, "I don't climb the steps!" It's going to take a long time! ”

"Who flies? Will you be able to keep things? ”

Linglong grinned, pointed to the tip of his nose and said, "Don't pretend! Of course it's you! Thought I didn't see it! Who was secretly flying with Edgeworth in the shade of the back mountain that day? I haven't asked you yet! If you're still pretending, I'll tell Daddy to go! ”

Zhong Minyan's face turned red, "You actually saw it...... Don't tell Master! Sister, don't tell anyone, you know? ”

Linglong Qi said: "Why don't you want your father to know?" You already know how to fly, and you're much more powerful than the Fourth Senior Brother. It's too late for Dad to be happy! ”

Zhong Minyan said with a straight face: "There are not many advantages to this limelight, but there are a lot of disadvantages. Even though the master was happy, the other senior brothers who had not yet learned to fly the imperial object had to be scolded. They have been revived, and to whom is this anger forthcoming? ”

Linglong realized something, nodded and said, "You're right...... But it's complicated... Do adults usually think so much? ”

Zhong Minyan smiled: "I think a lot more than this!" Come on, stop talking nonsense, aren't you going up to see the excitement? If you don't go again, it's too late to deliver food to Xuanji. ”

He walked to the edge of the cliff, and as expected, there was a row of white jade Changgui. He picked up a half-old one, his left foot sank slightly, and Changgui carried him up with some hesitation, as if he couldn't completely control it at will. He tried to fly two laps, and then he came back and stretched out his hand to Linglong, who was shouting, and smiled: "Come up, little ancestor!" You can't do that after you go up. ”

Linglong's heart was full of joy. Otherwise, she likes to play with Zhong Minyan, or Xiao Liuzi is the best, everything follows her, and she speaks well.

When he was going up against the wind, Linglong suddenly thought of something, grabbed his sleeve and said childishly: "Little Liuzi, you can't be like the third senior brother and the fifth senior brother in the past, you can't stand the suffering and secretly go down the mountain and escape home." ”

Zhong Minyan almost fell from Changgui's head, and it was easy to stabilize his body, he smiled bitterly: "Which eye of yours saw me shouting that I was going home?" Besides, my family ...... I don't have a home to go back to, and my parents have died in the plague. Shaoyang Peak is my home. ”

"Then we'll tick it." Linglong stretched out her little finger, blinked her big black eyes, and said, "Little Liuzi wants to be with us forever, and we will never be separated." ”

Zhong Minyan laughed and said softly: "It's all the stuff of the little girls, our manly husband is a good man, even if he doesn't tick it, he will do it." ”

Linglong couldn't tolerate others questioning and refuting herself, and frowned at the moment: "No matter!" It's going to be a hook! ”

Zhong Minyan stretched out his arm, "Oh, hook your arm." Pulling the little finger is the little girl's business, so I don't do it. ”

Linglong smiled and hooked his arm with his arm, both of them were very childish, and said: "If you don't keep this oath and secretly go down the mountain in the future, you will let Xiao Liuzi's mouth fall out of all his teeth, and he will be a toothless old man!" ”

Swearing, both of them burst out laughing, and thought it was very funny. One of them is fourteen years old, and the other is only eleven years old, both of them are naïve and have not yet fully understood the world, and the so-called eternity is just an illusory thing in their eyes. In their hearts, it will always be the same as the hairpin flower festival that is about to be held, close in front of them, and it will pass in a flash. There was neither frustration nor sorrow.

However, it was said that the two of them climbed to the top of the mist-shrouded peak, and on the top was a huge rooftop paved with jade and jade, which was crystal warm and very beautiful. The two of them shuttled through the bushes next to them, and saw a circle of senior disciples of the Shaoyang Sect standing densely around the rooftop, obviously the person in charge of guarding. Linglong didn't expect the lottery to be so formal, she was frightened for a while, and said in a low voice: "It's over, the guards are so strict, how can you peek?" ”

Zhong Minyan looked at this form, it was impossible to peek. He bowed his head and groaned, and suddenly squeezed Linglong's hand, motioning for her to follow him. Then, with a cough, he stood up from the bushes, patted the dust off his clothes, and swaggered towards the rooftop. Linglong seemed to have a little rabbit in her arms, jumping suddenly, she didn't know what Zhong Minyan was doing, but she felt that it was exciting and fun, so she obediently followed him and walked forward.

As expected, just as he was about to go up the steps, two big disciples stopped him and said, "Master said that the lottery is now being held with the heads of other factions, and no one is allowed to disturb them. ”

Zhong Minyan was not in a hurry, and said with a smile: "Are they the two senior brothers of the real character generation?" We were ordered by Uncle Yinghong of Yuyang Hall to bring a message to the lady in charge. ”

The two of them heard that it was Uncle Yinghong, and their faces were bitter.

It turned out that the Shaoyang faction had a total of seven branches, which were in charge of different functions, and Chu Yinghong was in charge of the Yuyang Hall, that is, the hall that specially formulated the law. Wearing white clothes and green belts all day long, patrolling back and forth in the inner mountains of Shouyang to see if other disciples have committed fouls, it is the disciples of Yuyang Hall. Chu Yinghong is a smiling tiger-like person, she is the youngest of her junior brothers of the same generation, and she is only thirty-seven this year, but even the head of the house gives her three points.

First, her husband was an elder of Heyang in the Pillow Xia Hall, who was in charge of punishment; Second, although she herself seems to be gentle and kind, she is actually difficult to get to the end. Anyone who violates the law is punished immediately. If you see her kind and plead with her, and she promises you with a smile on her face, and she will give you a tenfold worse punishment when she returns.

At that time, Shaoyang Peak and Nanshan Xuanyuan faction had a disagreement, all relied on her to come forward, a woman said that many predecessors of the Nanshan Xuanyuan faction were speechless, and finally the head of the Xuanyuan faction, Zhu Shidao, personally came to Shaoyang Peak to apologize to the previous head, and the two factions promised to be friendly forever, and they were in the same breath.

Such a strange woman made the head of the year full of praise, and the call to promote her as the next head was also very high. The head of the family considered it again and again, but he still gave up her talented and chose the steady and silent Zhen Lei. Fortunately, she has no ambitions, she is willing to be idle, and she has become the master of Yuyang Hall. But to this day, the old disciples still say that as long as she raises her arms and says that she wants to leave, at least one-third of Shaoyang Peak will choose to follow her. I have to admit that her ability is not trivial.

Since it was such a powerful Uncle Yinghong who wanted to pass the word, and the lady of the head of the family had always been good friends with her, where did the two dare to stop them, they would obediently get out of the way immediately.

Linglong didn't expect to let them in so easily, and she was even more impressed by Zhong Minyan. This man really didn't blush and his heart didn't beat when he lied, just like the real thing. She looked up and secretly glanced at Zhong Minyan, he was still pretending to be serious, but his eyes were full of mischievous smiles.

Linglong pinched his arm vigorously through her sleeve, and was about to praise him for doing a good job, but the two of them caught up again and shouted, "Wait a minute! ”

The two of them were shocked, and when the lie was exposed, they had to turn their faces around.
