CHAPTER 40

As a child, he always wished that he would grow up quickly. thought that as long as he could grow up quickly, he would be able to avenge his father and the whole family, but later he met Ah Jin, and he thought that if he had a dignified identity in the future, he would be able to tell Ah Jin that he liked her for many years. At that time, he didn't know what the future would look like, but he thought that if he worked hard enough, there would be hope. But it wasn't until many years later, until Xiaofeng had swept away the time and the waning moon had sunk into his temples, that he really began to know how cruel he was to himself when he first met! If time could come back, he would never meet her again. Her smile in the past has become the best scenery in the depths of his memory, and it has also become a nightmare in his life, which he has always asked for but never got.

.

In the past few days, Master Lian is going to conduct a small test of our techniques, and the atmosphere in the entire Chunxu Mountain is tense, even the seventh senior brother Mo Yan has stopped coming to me these days, and he can't find his shadow when he eats lunch, because Qingshan has not come back yet, so no one in the entire canteen has come to eat. I and Brother Xiaoyu are flesh and blood, if you don't eat, you will be dizzy with hunger, Shangfeng has run out of the mountain these days, saying that he wants to go out for a walk, I don't doubt him, I think that the spirit bird likes freedom, and he is not like us have to go to school and practice every day, and there is no need to worry about exams, if you stay in the mountains every day, it will be really boring.

In the past few days, I have had a meal with Senior Brother Xiao Yu. It's just that Senior Brother Xiao Yu is also very worried about Master Xiaolian's small test this time, so every time he hastily uses a few mouthfuls of food and rushes to the magic field to practice.

The third senior brother Yuan Qi saw that there were few people who had come to eat these days, so he only fried two refreshing side dishes and brought them to the front and ate with us. Every time we eat, we always like to make chrysanthemum tea and chat while drinking. It's not that I don't worry about the exam, it's just that I think I can still have time to eat a meal and drink tea.

"Third Senior Brother, why did you choose to cultivate the ascetic path that no one else wanted to choose?"

I poured a cup of hot tea for the third senior brother, and the third senior brother took it with a smile, then sighed, and said slowly, "I used to be a prince who was appointed as a prince, and I was raised as a prince since I was a child, and my father had many expectations for me. When the third senior brother said this, he actually smiled and said, "But I don't want to be the emperor...... There are many things I don't want to do, but the palace always forces me to do them. There is only one thing I want to ask for, from beginning to end, but I will never ask for it. ”

The third senior brother held the white porcelain teacup in his hand, staring at the tea in a daze, I saw that his expression was a little gloomy, so I was going to stop talking, but the third senior brother was silent for a while and then continued, his voice was very low, as if he was saying it to me, and as if he was saying it to himself, "Since I was a child, as long as I like it, my father will bring it to me, but I don't want it many times, just like a flower on a tree, although I like it, I don't want to pick it, I just want to stand under the tree and take a look." But my father told me that the son he valued must have the desire to want and the ability to dare to want...... In the presence of such a father, I was always sober, and I always wore a mask in front of him, because I was afraid that he would think I was useless, so I gave my mother to death...... Day by day, I have been covering up very well, until that palace banquet, when I was looking for my mother, I took a shortcut, and unexpectedly met a woman, looking at the clothing system, she was the wife of the third grade, I knew that this was the wife of a certain Wenchen......"

"Third Senior Brother, do you like someone else?"

"Yes, I'm in love with her. The third senior brother raised his eyebrows and was silent, "But I don't want her, she has her clean world, and I don't want to bring her to my world...... I thought I was hiding such feelings well, but I didn't know when my father found out, and my father actually dragged her to me in a stupid way. ”

"And then?"

"Later...... She never ate or drank, and I did not force her, and my father was furious when he found out, and gave her to death in front of me...... I haven't been happy since. ”

The third senior brother drank the remaining half of the cold tea in the cup, and said, "After the death of the country, I, the prince of the dead country who was once the prince, was hunted down and killed everywhere, I originally planned that it would be better for me to end up safely than to lose my life in the hands of others." But later, I met Master Xiaolian, and he said that I might as well save my life to help him take care of the chores in the mountains. ”

Listening to this, this is really the consistent style of Master Xiao Lian!, "Dare to love the third senior brother, do you choose this ascetic path or do you choose Master Xiao Lian to deceive you?"

"I chose it myself, the seven ways of immortal arts, and there is only the way of ascetic cultivation without practicing magic. The third senior brother looked out the window and said leisurely, "I spent the first half of my life living for my father, living so high, and living so unhappy." Now, I want to live like a citizen. ”

I looked at the third senior brother with my cheeks on my cheeks, and I didn't know what to feel in my heart. He smiled at me and said, "Let's go practice, there will be a small test in the afternoon." ”

.

After coming out of the third senior brother Yuan Qi, he went to the magic field to practice the magic for an hour or two, and when he saw that the sky was not very good, he thought that the quilt he took out to dry was still outside when he saw that the sun was good in the morning, and he didn't know if Yuan'er had gone back to collect it, so he closed his palms and collected the Yin Jia hovering in the air.

When he returned to the front of the house, he saw that the quilt was still outside, so he hurriedly took back the house. When I went back to the house, I saw that there was a little chick on the cabinet that made the phoenix with a strip for me to play, so I sat at the head of the bed and played with it, and found a hemp rope to hang the little chick at the door of the house.

"It's even more interesting if you tie a few small brass bells to the hemp rope!" Yuan'er, who had just returned to the house, crossed his hands and looked at Ah Jin hanging the gadget on tiptoe.

Seeing her say this, Ah Jin also thought it was a good idea, "Where is the little copper bell?"

She tilted her head and thought about it, as if she had seen it when she went back to her brother's place for dinner, "There are many small copper bells on the four corners of the pavilion behind the Huaguang Palace. ”

"Master Xiaolian's pavilion?"

“...... Forget it, but don't pluck the tiger's tail. Yuan'er shuddered when she remembered her brother's cold face. As everyone knows, this bold Ah Jin brought back three small copper bells on the second day, and it turned out that Ah Jin took the opportunity to cook breakfast and secretly went to the back of the hall to pick a few. She also said that there were two at each corner of the pavilion, and she only picked three, so she didn't think Master would find out when she came to Xiaolian. He also said that even if he found it, he might think that it was blown away by the wind one day. She was shocked and surprised to hear Ah Jin say this, and remembered that this idea was her own beginning, so she prayed silently for herself in her heart.

.

Today, Xiao Lian saw that Ah Jin came over early in the morning to spread out the porridge and vegetables, and his face was also very attentive, he smiled in his heart and said coldly, "If you have something to say, say it quickly." ”

"Uh...... Hehe...... Master Xiaolian, what are the contents of today's exam? Can you tell us a little bit about it?"

"Eat first. ”

Hearing this, I hurriedly dog-legged, holding porridge bowls, chopsticks and spoons for the master, and diligently picking up vegetables for the master all the way, putting on a more diligent posture than usual, it was really dog-legged to the point that even I despised myself, and at the end, seeing that Xiaolian had eaten almost, I licked my face and asked, "Inner one...... Master Xiaolian, I've also eaten this meal, maybe ...... Maybe reveal a thing or two?"

Xiao Lian glanced at her, and saw her eyes looking at her with a pair of watery eyes, so he hooked the corners of his lips and chuckled, "Want to know?" Seeing her nodding, he thought about it seriously, "I haven't thought about it yet." ”

“......”

Seeing her angry appearance, he couldn't help laughing, provoking her to glare at him, and he looked out the window, as if it was starting to snow. The robe she was wearing was really thin, and he twisted his eyebrows thinking about the winter clothes he had made for her in advance at Jiutian Xianbo's last time, which had probably been ready, and he thought that he would take time to go to Jiutian today to bring the winter clothes back to her early.

.

According to Senior Brother Xiao Yu, the previous small exams have been taken in order of ranking, and I am a little happy, I am ranked nineteenth, and it is my turn to be early. It was a little cold, and we were all waiting in the spell field, and Yuan'er and I were huddled together to warm up.

Senior brother Yanhua left the mountain, the second senior brother Bo Shen also married and left the mountain some time ago, and the third senior brother Yuan abandoned the path of asceticism and did not need exams, so the first one to enter was the fourth senior brother Zaiye, and then the fifth senior brother Wu Xing...... It wasn't until the sixteenth senior brother Su Fuyan came out of the exam that the seventeenth-ranked senior brother Xiao Yu went to the exam in the martial arts field with a generous face. Since Qingshan, who is ranked eighteenth, has not come back yet, then it will be my turn for Senior Brother Xiao Yu to pass the exam. I was a little nervous in my heart, so I pulled the sixteenth senior brother Su Fuyan, "Sixteenth senior brother, what is the test of Master Fang Xiaolian?" Yuan'er also looked at the sixteenth senior brother with me, hoping to get some useful information from his mouth.

Su Fuyan smiled, "In the past, when the technique was examined, it would take an hour for each disciple, but this time it was very fast, but the difficulty increased a lot, and I didn't do very well in the exam just now." Seeing Ah Jin's worried look, he smiled again, "Nineteen, you have a good talent, and you have practiced quite diligently during this time, so you don't have to worry." ”

When Yuan'er and I heard this, we looked at each other and sighed, these words were similar to what Mo Yan, the seventh senior brother of Fangcai, said. Yuan'er frowned and said, "Ah Jin, don't worry, I'm at the bottom every time."

I sighed, "Yuan'er, you are from an immortal family, and the immortal arts are naturally much better than mine, if you say the bottom, it must be me!"

"Don't you know, those of us who were born into immortal families, because we were born with immortal power, and each of us has a different level of immortal power, so every time we take the exam, we will not judge according to a unified standard, but according to the degree of refinement of practice. She sighed, "Then you're much better than me." ”

Just as the two of us sighed for a long time, Senior Brother Xiao Yu came out, and when we saw him with joy on his face, we knew that he should have done well in the exam.

I got up and straightened my dress and went to the exam, and when it was over, Yuan'er waved her fist at me to cheer me on, and I smiled at her and made a heroic and funny gesture to dispel her nervousness.
