The four of them looked at Master Ming silently, and they didn't dare to make a noise, and the atmosphere around them was terrifyingly silent. It wasn't until the feet of the four of them stood numb that Master Ming unhurriedly put the mirror in his clothes and looked at Xiao Beichen coldly.

"You four, you are running around during your lunch break, you must be punished, go, turn out the Kaiyuan Daozang, tomorrow night, I will see a thousand scrolls. Master Ming didn't have Fang Cai's violent thunder, but his face was expressionless, but his words were full of coldness. With that, he turned and left, leaving the four whispering children behind.

"Isn't he your father?" said Chuli.

"My dad wouldn't let us call him in the academy. Gu Yin raised his arms.

"My dad is an old-fashioned person, but don't worry, he's just a little fierce, and he's still a good person, hahaha......" Xiao Yan said with a smile, and then touched Gu Yin, "So, brother, can you not always say bad things about your dad in front of me." ”

Gu Yin pursed his lips, "Okay, good, dad loves you, I only have to look forward to it, I feel like I'm not my own." ”

"Puff ......" Xiao Beichen was amused by the singing and harmony of the two siblings, and then said, "Okay, the master asked us to copy "Kaiyuan Daozang" a thousand times, and we will hand it over tomorrow night." On the first day, it left such a bad impression on him. ”

"A thousand times, my dad is too ruthless...... Xiao Yan complained with his cheeks on his cheeks, and his round face was very cute.

Gu Yin sneered, "Who was still talking for him just now......

"Okay, okay, Beichen is right, let's go quickly......"

......

......

The night is approaching, and in the faint light, four young figures are struggling to write.

"What are these ......" Gu Yin looked at what he had written, very depressed, and then looked at Xiao Beichen next to him, and said, "Wow, your handwriting is good." ”

Xiao Yan heard it, approached and saw, "Wow, Beichen, what you wrote looks good, my father must like it." ”

Qiu Li, who was quietly copying next to him, also raised his head and said calmly, "Beichen, it's almost fine, we have copied it from the afternoon to now, and we haven't even ...... a third."

"What do you mean by this, he didn't copy it slowly because it was good-looking...... Xiao Yan said unconvinced.

Xiao Beichen was naturally sensitive, and suddenly felt that the atmosphere seemed to be a little wrong, so he said, "Xiao Yan, senior brother didn't mean that. He's right, let's copy it quickly. ”

"I'm so sleepy...... Why are we copying these scriptures? I wouldn't have done that thing if I had known......" Gu Yin put down the pen in his hand, his face full of grievances.

"What are you complaining about here, you are the one who started it. Everyone will copy it with you!" Xiao Yan said with a pout.

"Mistakes are made together, and naturally we have to share weal and woe. Xiao Beichen said with a smile. He doesn't speak very well, but because of this he sounds milky and very cute.

After Xiao Yan heard it, he leaned next to Xiao Beichen, and then said, "Share weal and woe, do you hear?"

Xiao Beichen looked at Xiao Yan blankly, and didn't pay attention to what kind of expression Gu Yin was now. Because when I was copying the scriptures, I found something interesting.

Actually, I think these verses are reasonable. You see, the Tao is the Tao, the Tao is very Tao. The name is famous, it is very famous, although I can't read it, but I think the meaning is long. Xiao Beichen said.

Qiu Li raised his head and looked at Xiao Beichen twice, and then said calmly, "What this sentence means is that what can be said is not constant, and it can be called by name, it is not a permanent name." "Kaiyuan Daozang" is a classic work left by Li Er's predecessors in the world, and the content in it seems to be concise and concise, but in fact it contains supreme wisdom. ”

"You know a lot...... Gu Yin said, without a hint of sarcasm, but with appreciation.

In this way, it is a good thing that the Master asked us to copy the scriptures. Xiao Beichen said.

"You're so optimistic. I grew up listening to my dad study, and after listening to it for so long, I didn't feel any big feelings. As soon as he started reading, I was going to suffer, but in order not to make him sad, I had to pretend, hahaha......" Xiao Yan laughed, his eyes crooked, full of childishness.

"Do you know what the 'Dao' that runs through the whole book in "Kaiyuan Daozang" is?"

"I know!" Xiao Yan said first, "My father said that the Tao is life, or rather, something beyond life. ”

In fact, figuratively speaking, the Tao is the way of life. However, I think the Tao is just a title, and there is no need to be too persistent to understand. Just know that cultivation is about giving us the power to protect those around us. ”

"Senior brother, is cultivating in order to have the power to protect the people around him?" Xiao Beichen asked naturally.

After Qiu Li heard this, the only expression on his face disappeared, as if there were suddenly many dark clouds in the sky.

As soon as Xiao Beichen saw him like this, he was afraid that he had said something that he shouldn't have said, so he hurriedly picked up the pen he had put down just now, continued to copy the scriptures, and occasionally looked up at Qiu Li.

The sound of cicadas outside the house was getting louder and louder, but the academy was very quiet, as if I was afraid of disturbing someone and breaking someone's heart.

After a long time, Chu Li said, "The person I want to protect is gone......"

His tone was very calm, so calm that it sounded so breezy that it made people feel the illusion of empathy, especially Xiao Beichen.

"I'm sorry, brother. Xiao Beichen felt very sorry, he knew this feeling best when he lost his loved ones since he was a child. Although even Master didn't know who his parents were or why he was on that pond, he always wondered if he could protect them if his parents were in danger in the first place.

"It doesn't matter. Either way, I'm going to be strong. Only with the strongest strength can those who abandon us, hurt us, and despise us regret it. After speaking, he picked up the tea on the table, and there was a hot mist overflowing from the teacup, and the dark-skinned face in the mist looked particularly cold and handsome.

With such a look, these children, who were slightly younger than him, couldn't help but be a little stunned, and they didn't dare to come out.

Qiu Li took a sip of tea, looked at the other three, and said quietly, "Scared by me?"

"Who was scared by you......" Gu Yin seemed a little disdainful.

"I am an orphan, when I was five years old, I began to build the foundation, and after 100 days of building the foundation, I began to feel that my muscles and bones were stretched and the meridians were smooth, and it seemed that I could begin to absorb the power of heaven and earth. When I learned how to chop wood with my bare hands, I realized that strength is so important. That's why I said, cultivation is for strength. Qiu Li didn't put down the pen in his hand, and wrote as he spoke, looking very calm.

Xiao Beichen stuck out his tongue and didn't say anything more. He admired this senior brother very much in his heart, after all, Qiu Li was only two years older than him, but he had seen a lot and was well versed in the Great Dao.

Compared to himself, who is also an orphan, Qiu Li is too good.

"Let's copy it quickly, I have already built a foundation, and my physical strength is better than yours. If you are really tired, you can rest first, and I can copy as much as I can. Qiu Li said quietly. The tone of the voice was very cold, but it couldn't hide a trace of warmth.

Xiao Beichen echoed and said, "Yes, hurry up." ”

Everyone stopped talking, picked up their pens again, and continued to copy quietly.

In the silence of the night, there was no sound, only some extremely slight sounds. It was the sound of paper falling, the sound of the oil lamp being blown by the wind, and the rhythmic sound of writing.

Seeing everyone copying quietly, Xiao Beichen was a little moved in his heart. A thousand times, it is their common responsibility, whoever copies a little more is for themselves and everyone. It's like a string of Buddhist beads, each bead on it seems to be one, but in fact it is connected by fate, and they all exist for the same goal.

This is the first time that Xiao Beichen feels that he is not alone.

"Let's rest first, it's too late. Xiao Yan said.

"It's okay, I'll finish copying it, you guys go to sleep first. Xiao Beichen took the initiative to take on the remaining tasks.

"Then I'll accompany you......" Xiao Yan didn't want to leave, so he got up on the desk.

The sky is full of stars, as if it will never move, and it seems to move all the time, and the world of the starry sky is always unpredictable and intoxicating. I don't know how long it took, Xiao Beichen stretched his waist, looked at the text he copied, and was a little satisfied.

A thousand times, it took them less than a night to copy.
