Chapter VIII

Lin Huaizhu stood on the flying sword, looking at Qin Jianglan's clothes in a tangled manner, and wondered if she should pretend to be a little scared for the first time in the sky to cover it up?

"Scared?" Qin Jianglan felt the hesitation of the person behind him, turned to look at her sideways, followed her gaze to the hem of his clothes, and asked with a clear look on his face.

"Huh? Yes. Lin Huaizhu was stunned for a moment before nodding, although she was not afraid, she felt that if she said so, it seemed that she was not very friendly to the care shown by the master.

And she also had some faint expectations, not knowing how the master would comfort her.

However, things seemed to turn out differently than she had thought.

"It's useless to be afraid." Qin Jianglan said slowly, "After you draw qi into your body, you must always learn the sword technique, and you must overcome your fear of heights as soon as possible." ”

The first time he accepted an apprentice, he didn't know how other masters and apprentices got along, and his own master ......

Qin Jianglan pursed his lips, but decided to use his own way to appease his apprentice.

After listening to this, Lin Huaizhu couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, nodded his little head again with a wooden face, and was speechless in his heart.

I thought that the master was going to take the warm route, but sure enough, he was thinking too much.

Qin Jianglan took her back to Liangyi Palace, put her down under the stone steps in front of the hall, looked down at Lin Huaizhu, who was not on his chest, and handed out a jade plaque with a slender and white hand, and said: "It was my negligence, this jade plaque should have been given to you a long time ago, but I forgot it in a hurry, you put it away, next time someone asks who your master is, you show him this jade plaque." ”

Lin Huaizhu respectfully took the jade plaque and looked at it in his palm.

Not as big as the palm of the jade plate, only feel a burst of cold, the jade piece looks green, clear and transparent, the jade plate is carved in the middle of two crossed long swords, the edge of the surrounding carved moire pattern, the back turned over is a bird with wings spread high.

Even if she doesn't understand jade, she can see that this jade card is extremely precious, and the sect will not issue one of such jade cards by hand.

That is to say, the person who owns this jade plaque represents a certain identity.

Lin Huaizhu held it in his hand and looked at it again, Huo Di raised his head and looked at Qin Jianglan with shining eyes, his eyes were full of excitement, and he said, "Master, this jade plate ......"

As if he knew what she wanted to ask, Qin Jianglan replied lightly: "This is the token of my true disciple of Liangyi Peak, you have to put it away carefully." ”

Although Lin Huaizhu had guessed it somewhat, when he heard Qin Jianglan's confirmation, he couldn't help but shake a spirit, firmly grasped the jade card in his hand, looked happy, and replied happily: "Yes, Master!" ”

She originally thought that Qin Jianglan would accept her as an inner disciple at most, after all, the identity of the true disciple is so important, if an ordinary disciple makes a mistake, others will not say that it must be the master's problem, but if something happens to the true disciple, the first person to suffer from the criticism must be the master.

She knew that she was very important to Qin Jianglan, but in today's cultivation realm, it was easy for a high-level cultivator to take on a disciple, not to mention that she was still a mortal, even if Qin Jianglan didn't accept her as a disciple, with his identity, it would be easy to ask for a disciple with no identity background.

One is a big guy in the late Yuan Infant period, only one step away from turning into a god, and the other is a disciple who has not yet been induced, even if she is a wood heavenly spirit root, she doesn't know how many years it will take to grow up, and she doesn't need to think about what choice the sect will make.

Qin Jianglan is assuring her with his greatest sincerity.

Seeing her solemn look, the corners of Qin Jianglan's lips slightly hooked up a touch, but soon he withdrew it, and said with his hand, "I need to retreat these days, if you have anything unclear about your cultivation, you can go to Master Meng's nephew, he will go to the Law Enforcement Hall to report on the ambush this time, and he will come back in about half a day." ”

"Yes, the disciple wrote it down." Lin Huaizhu nodded yes, seeing that there was nothing to do with him, he said goodbye to Qin Jianglan and jumped back to his yard along the mountain road.

Qin Jianglan also straightened his sleeves and walked back to the hall.

"You really take that little girl as an apprentice?"

Si Che was already waiting in the side hall, sitting on the bamboo mat, leaning crookedly on the small desk, picking up the teapot on the desk with a natural and casual attitude, pouring himself a cup, and said in a lazy tone.

Qin Jianglan walked to the side hall, sat on the ground on the other side of the desk, arranged the hem of the robe, and then said: "Since I have said that I want to accept her as an apprentice, she is naturally my apprentice, so what should I do." ”

As if he hadn't heard what he said, Si Che said straightforwardly: "Also, since you are so worried about her, only with a true disciple can you tie her up with you." ”

"Who says I'm not comfortable with her anymore?" Qin Jianglan glanced at him, picked up another teacup and took a sip gently.

Si Che didn't answer and asked, "If you are at ease with her, how can you accept her as a true disciple?" ”

Qin Jianglan's thumb unconsciously rubbed the pattern on the teacup and was silent.

Seeing that he was silent, Si Che supported his chin with both hands, looked at him and said: "Others only know that the true disciple is regarded as the descendant of the master and has a special identity, but your situation is different, haven't you been worried that you will not be able to suppress the demonic qi in your body all these years, so you never accept the apprentice, for fear that if you fall into the demonic path in the future, it will not be tolerated by the cultivation realm, and it will affect your apprentice, you accept her as a true disciple, isn't it to prevent her from having two hearts?" ”

Although the cultivation methods of demon cultivation are very different from those of spiritual cultivation, they also hate those who deceive teachers and destroy ancestors, so Si Che thinks so.

But when he saw Qin Jianglan looking at him with a pair of black and white eyes, he suddenly became unsure, "What, did I guess wrong?" ”

Qin Jianglan looked at him and said slowly, "I accepted her as a true disciple because she is a wood line heavenly spirit root. ”

"What do you mean?" Si Che was stunned for a moment, his eyes followed closely after the person who got up and walked towards the apse, and called out loudly, "Hey, don't go, you can make it clear, what does this have to do with her Heavenly Spirit Root?" ”

Qin Jianglan ignored his shouting, walked towards the cold spring in the apse without stopping, untied and folded the white robe aside, walked into the middle of the cold spring, immersed his whole body in it, closed his eyes and recuperated.

Of course it matters, if she is not accepted as a true disciple, with her qualifications of the Wood Heavenly Spirit Root, the heads of other peaks will definitely come to rob him of people, strictly speaking, Liangyi Peak is a major in sword cultivation, and it is not suitable for spiritual cultivation, and only this identity can forcibly keep her here.

Si Che, who was left in the side hall, sat crookedly on the mat without any image, looking puzzled, but did not follow up to ask him.

He knew that in order to control the demonic qi in his body, Qin Jianglan used his sword qi to swim in the meridians, blocking the demonic qi back, and while suppressing it, the meridians would also be damaged.

The cold spring was added with an elixir to repair the meridians, so after he suppressed the demonic qi in the formation on the fifteenth day of every month, he had to soak in the cold spring to repair the meridians.

Seeing that Qin Jianglan really didn't look like he wanted to solve his doubts, Si Che lay on the desk with a depressed face, muttering in his heart, his character that can't make a sound with a few sticks must be changed, otherwise he will suffocate people!

"What are you doing?"

Yin Li saw that Lin Huaizhu had just come down from the peak of Liangyi Peak, hesitated for a few seconds, and seemed to want to go back, but for some reason she kept standing on the side of the mountain road, but she just didn't go up.

Lin Huaizhu paused for two seconds, and said in a muffled voice: "I just remembered, I haven't opened the valley yet, and I can't go down the mountain directly here, where can I get food?" I wanted to go back and talk to Master, but when I thought about it, he had been in the valley for hundreds of years, and I guess I don't know where to get food......

Yin Li twitched the corner of his mouth: "What are you panicking about, the disciples who have not opened the valley will have the Bigu Dan, and the sect will not starve the disciples to death." ”

“…… But I don't want to eat Bigudan. Lin Huaizhu said in a low voice.

To put it bluntly, she is so entangled in order to eat in one bite.

Yin Li was speechless: "Then you go and ask that Senior Brother Meng to see if he can get it for you, I think compared to your master, Senior Brother Meng may be more reliable in this regard." ”

After all, Qin Jianglan has been cultivating the valley for hundreds of years, and he doesn't look like a person who will put his mind on eating, so I'm afraid that it will be in vain to ask.

"Hmm...... There's some truth to what you're saying, well, then do as you say! ”

Lin Huaizhu thought of the figures of the two, compared them, and had to agree with her opinion, and the hesitant footsteps that had stopped and wandered on the mountain road turned and walked directly to his yard.

Back in the wooden house, Lin Huaizhu sat cross-legged on the wooden floor of the side room, pressed the power transmission jade slip to his forehead, and began to read the mental method of inducing qi into the body.

She was very excited, she finally had the opportunity to do a spiritual practice, and she couldn't wait to know how the spiritual cultivation was different from the cultivation of the demon cultivation.

Seeing her so positive, Yin Li didn't interrupt her again, and let her meditate by herself until the night was dark, and the moon was on the top of the moon before she woke up.

"It's so late! I don't know if Senior Brother Meng has returned. The window was open, the bamboo curtain had already been hung, and the moonlight poured all over the ground, Lin Huaizhu looked at the brilliance on the ground and said.

"Just check it out." Yin Li lay in her sea of knowledge and said weakly.

Lin Huaizhu nodded, got up and walked towards the outside of the courtyard, others can be put down for the time being, but she still has to take a look for food.

Senior Brother Meng had already told her which building he lived in when he took her to see the courtyard, so Lin Huaizhu accurately found the small courtyard where Senior Brother Meng lived, triggered the prohibition, and waited in front of the courtyard gate, hoping that Senior Brother Meng had returned.

"Senior Sister Lin, it's so late, what's the matter?"

Her expectations came true, Senior Brother Meng opened the ban, looked at Lin Huaizhu with some surprise and asked.

He also just returned to Liangyi Peak, and this time two disciples of the sect defected, and they were all related to demon cultivation, so in addition to the elders of the Law Enforcement Hall, the head of the sect and several other elders were also very concerned about this matter, and asked in detail before letting him come back.
