Chapter 65: Senior Brothers

In the early morning of the second day, Ma Xie returned to Tianwu Sect, and he would always live in Tianwu Sect for the rest of the day, while Qi Nanfeng went to Dengyun Tower, and in the same way, she also had to go through the assessment before she could enter this hotel, but Qi Nanfeng was not worried at all, not nervous at all, she thought of what Ma Xie had done before, she told herself that Ma Xie had worked hard to complete the challenge, why couldn't she fight hard?

A genius chef who will be famous all over the world in the future stood in front of the door of Dengyun Tower, looked up at the endless sky, and silently said to himself: "Come on, Qi Nanfeng." Then, walking into the place where the dream began.

After returning to Danyang Hall, Ma Xie noticed a slightly different change from yesterday.

There are a few more people here, some of them seem to be over half a hundred years old, and some are about the same age as Zuo Qing, these people are all disciples of Danyang Hall, that is, Ma Xie's senior brother.

However, Master Zuo Lingfei was not in the courtyard, and these disciples were all standing together in twos and threes, obviously waiting for their master.

"Senior Brother Ma Xie has seen all the senior brothers. Ma Xie greeted everyone in the courtyard, and then took out the token that Zuo Lingfei handed him yesterday, and said, "I am a disciple that Master accepted yesterday, and I would like to ask you for more advice." ”

From this moment on, Ma Xie is a disciple of Danyang Hall, and these people in front of him will be his partners day and night.

"Is this our little junior brother?" came a man dressed in an exaggerated costume, dressed in a winkling green garment with some strange patterns tattooed on it, and in his hand he carried a beautiful sword, the hilt of which was specially decorated with violet beads, his hair draped loosely over his shoulders, and a strand of hair specially dyed white.

"Don't be nervous, I'm your senior brother. The man shook his hair as he spoke, and said in a deep voice, "I'm just a lonely swordsman who likes to chase the sunset." ”

Ma Xie looked at this senior brother in confusion, and then, a man with square cheeks walked over and said to Yun Feifei: "Senior brother, why haven't you changed this clothes when the master asked you to change them? This brother is Ma Xie, and I am your second senior brother Liang Fan. Senior brother is a little out of tune, so he didn't scare you. Ma Xie hurriedly shook his head, thinking in his heart, these two are my senior brothers?

Seeing this little junior brother, these senior brothers were very enthusiastic to introduce themselves one by one, only the arrogant senior brother Wan Feifei stood on the roof, playing with his white hair.

"You must not follow the senior brother to learn like that. The second senior brother Liang Fan said to Ma Xie seriously: "I don't know how to let him know, that will not be popular with girls." “

After that, several senior brothers told him about the rules of Danyang Hall, as well as the master's preferences and personality, and then arranged a place for Ma Xie to live, which was the smallest house in Danyang Hall, and lived with the fourth senior brother Zhou Tong and the seventh senior brother Gu Lixuan.

The seventh senior brother Gu Lixuan is the white-haired man, he looks not young, maybe because of the order of entry, he is still ranked behind the younger senior brothers.

The fourth senior brother Zhou Tong is a chatterbox, as soon as he enters the door, he keeps asking about all kinds of things about Ma Xie, and he can't wait to ask Ma Xie and his father's nickname, and then after hearing that Ma Xie grew up with a white ape who can speak, he couldn't close his mouth in surprise, ran out and shouted to the other senior brothers: "It turns out that the little junior brother grew up with the white ape." ”

After he shouted, he didn't get any response, everyone in the courtyard was quiet, Zhou Tong found that Master Zuo Lingfei was already standing in the courtyard, Zuo Lingfei glared at Zhou Tong, and Zhou Tong walked into the team in a gray way.

Then, Gu Lixuan also walked out with Ma Xie.

"Everyone is here. Zuo Lingfei said.

Liang Fan stood up and said, "Back to Master, except for the third and tenth children who have completed their master's tasks, the rest of the people are already here. ”

Zuo Lingfei nodded and said, "Ma Xie, have you met with all your senior brothers?"

"Senior Brother Liang has already introduced me one by one. "Ma Xie returned.

"Very good, there are a total of twelve disciples under my sect, you will be ranked thirteen after you enter, and you will be called the thirteenth in the future. The old Quartet just said that you followed the white ape to learn the sword, what is going on?"

"Back to Master, the disciple grew up in the mountains and forests in the north since he was a child, and he was raised by a white ape who could speak and taught the disciple swordsmanship, and what the fourth senior brother said was the truth I told him. Ma Xie said truthfully.

Zuo Lingfei said to the disciples: "In addition to humans and beasts in this world, there are also many spiritual creatures that can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and even open spiritual wisdom, and the white ape master of the old thirteen may belong to this category." When you walk the rivers and lakes in the future, you will encounter many incredible things, so there is no need to make a fuss. ”

The disciples listened quietly, not daring to make a sound.

"From today onwards, Ma Xie is your junior disciple. Liang Fan, what is the first door rule you tell Ma Xie to our door?" Zuo Lingfei asked.

Liang Fan took a step forward and said, "The first rule of Elder Zuo of Danyang Hall - respect for father and brother. Regard the master as a father, regard the same family as a brother, and do not allow flesh and blood to kill each other. ”

"Very good, Ma Xie, do you know why I put this at the top of the door rules, even before the sword respect?" Zuo Lingfei asked.

"The disciple thinks that Master is reminding us that Danyang Hall must always maintain unity and not fight each other. Ma Xie replied.

Zuo Lingfei said: "This is not the fundamental reason. Did you know that the life of a cultivator is much longer than that of a mortal?"

Ma Xie knew that the cultivators seemed to live a long life, but he didn't know why the master said that.

"When man exists between heaven and earth, he will have a beginning and an end. Cultivators will also have a relatively long lifespan because their physical functions have surpassed ordinary people, and generally speaking, monks above the sixth layer of the Qi Refining Realm will have a lifespan of more than three hundred years, and some will even be longer. The lifespan of a monk in the Dan period can reach 800 years, and when he reaches the realm of the Convergence Dao, he can have a lifespan of more than 1,000 years.

Having an extremely long lifespan may be a desirable and coveted thing for ordinary people. But when you are in the middle of it, you realize that it is not necessarily a good thing, you see your parents, brothers, lovers and even your children grow old and die in front of you, and you face the world alone, how sad it is.

Therefore, the people who can accompany the cultivators the longest are most likely to be these senior brothers around you, or your disciples, only if we love and respect each other, our cultivation path will not be alone, just like the willow sword immortal. ”

Ma Xie understood what Zuo Lingfei meant, cultivators are also human beings in nature, and they also have seven emotions and six desires, and in the face of the departure of their loved ones one by one, everyone will inevitably feel sad.

Thinking that if he embarked on the path of cultivation in the future, but Qi Nanfeng and Ah Man left early, Ma Xie couldn't help but feel frightened, and he remembered the illusion he had entered when he broke his soul.

Standing alone on top of the mountain of bones, looking around, there was no familiar face, at that time he forgot who he was, forgot why he was standing there, because there was no one or one thing to prove his existence, and that was probably the most terrible thing in the world.

Zuo Lingfei continued: "Our second rule is to respect the sword. My disciples are all willing to learn swords, and none of them are forced by me. Since we have chosen to use the sword, we must treat the sword with a sincere heart. Your sword will never betray you, and you cannot deceive your sword. ”

"Deceive your own sword?" Ma Xie was a little puzzled in his heart: "What does this mean?"

"Maybe you'll find out later, and I hope you'll come back and ask me that question. Zuo Lingfei looked at Ma Xie with expectant eyes, "Show me your sword." ”

Ma Xie handed over his sword with both hands, which was the sword left by Mu Xunfeng for himself.

Zuo Lingfei took the long sword, held the sword in his right hand, gently stroked the sword body with his left hand, and then slammed his shot, only to hear that the sword body actually emitted a "dragon roar".

"Good sword, good sword. It's just a pity......" Zuo Lingfei said: "It's just a pity that it's not your own sword." ”

Ma Xie was very surprised, Zuo Lingfei could actually see that this sword was not his own?

"The finger marks left on the hilt of the sword are not yours. Zuo Lingfei handed the sword back to Ma Xie, and Ma Xie found that there were a few places on the hilt of the sword that were concave, presumably caused by Mu Xunfeng holding the sword all year round.

Ma Xie found that Zuo Lingfei's face suddenly flashed a little vicissitudes, this short and fat Taoist was always arrogant, but only then did a trace of sadness appear, it was the kind of loneliness that only an old man could reveal.
