Before you know it, the night is getting darker.

The cool breeze howled, and a light rain began to fall in the sky again, and the flames in front of the grave swayed weakly in the wind, ready to be extinguished.

Gradually when the day was about to break, Xu Xingchen was still sitting in front of the stone tablet, reading the book "Heart Tips" happily, and had long forgotten the little boy's instructions when he went down the mountain last night.

Xu Xingchen had already finished reading most of "Heart Formula", and when he saw that at this time, a long-lost formula finally appeared in the book. Xu Xingchen secretly recited this technique, only feeling that it was completely different from the Void Cloud Technique, not only concise, but also very easy to understand.

"All kinds of pure hearts, lead the soul into the body. The magic is in the heart, and the heaven and earth are the guide. All kinds of pure hearts, leading the soul into the body. The magic is in the heart, and the heaven and earth are the ......"

Just as he was reading this phrase over and over again, about to memorize it, the flame in front of him suddenly flashed as if it were powerless. In the next second, his eyes were dark again, leaving only a vague scene.

In the surrounding darkness, there were faint glimmers of light......

Xu Xingchen looked up, but saw that the waning moon had set, and the sky had gradually had a little light, so he remembered the young man's words, and immediately secretly screamed that it was not good, rolled up the "Heart Formula" and put it in his sleeve and ran towards the mountain......

※※※

In the blink of an eye, the time is now early in the morning. On the top of the falling cloud steps, it is unusually noisy compared to normal days.

Seven or eight teenagers stood on the steps of the falling clouds, and several of them surrounded the little boy who was on duty yesterday, their faces flushed with urgency. As if he had done something wrong, the little boy kept his head down and did not dare to touch their gaze, and his heart was even more panicked.

"It's over, it's over, Xingchen is absolutely finished this time. ”

Yang Cheng kept pacing on the Falling Cloud Steps, rubbing his hands together in a hurry, shouting.

"No, going down the mountain without permission will be severely punished, and he is finished this time. ”

The only boy with different costumes is Jiang Xiaoshu of Qingquan Peak. When he heard that Xu Xingchen had gone down the mountain privately, he rushed over when he heard the news, and at this moment he only felt uneasy in his heart, and said.

"Hey, it's all you!" Yang Cheng sighed, reproaching the young man who put Xu Xingchen down the mountain.

"I ...... I told Senior Brother Xu that I was going up the mountain before the third watch."

The young man listened to Yang Cheng's reproach and explained in a panic.

"Oh, you said?"

Yang Cheng looked at him suspiciously, his heart full of doubts, and said.

"I ...... I really said it...... What Master said, I—How can I not remember it?"

The young man nodded very affirmatively, and said intermittently, his face flushed even more.

Yang Cheng believed the young man's words, but said: "Then you are also at fault, the master has rectified the door rules in the past two days." I heard that last night, the senior sister Hua Xiang in Tianling Peak wanted to go down the mountain last night, but she was caught by the master of the sect, and was severely punished, and was also punished to go to the ancestral hall to keep a vigil for 30 days. You too, you know that you can't do it, and you let him go down the mountain, it's just a violation of the law. ”

When the young boy heard this, he blamed himself even more.

Jiang Xiaoshu waved his hand again and again, and said, "Forget it, don't blame him here, we still have to think of a way, how to explain to him when your master comes." ”

Yang Cheng's face was full of helplessness, and he sighed loudly: "How can you explain it, how can you explain it, Master, he has a ...... spleen."

"What are you arguing about?"

At this moment, a deep voice suddenly came from behind him. After Yang Cheng heard this, his heart trembled slightly, and he immediately swallowed back the second half of the sentence that was originally used to criticize the master. All the teenagers turned their heads timidly, and their faces suddenly became nervous.

"Master, Master......" "Uncle Qingyuan!"

"What's the noise, don't you think it's messy here?"

Qing Yuan frowned, and with a look of hatred that iron is not made of steel, he said to a few people.

Seeing Qing Yuan like this, several people knew that he must be angry, so they didn't dare to say anything more, and silently retreated behind Qing Yuan Shangxian. Qingyuan Shangxian stood there with his hands in his hands, looking down at the spotless Falling Cloud Steps, and his heart was extremely angry.

※※※

The sun was full, and Xu Xingchen's figure suddenly appeared on the falling cloud steps. He hurried upwards, the scorching sun pouring down on him, and beads of sweat were already forming on his forehead.

It's over, it's over, Master, his old man will definitely be angry again.

As soon as Xu Xingchen raised his eyes, he saw the master who was holding his hand, and this thought flashed suddenly. His face turned a little pale, and he lowered his head, but he still didn't let go of his steps.

Qingyuan Shangxian looked at him and became even more annoyed, his brows furrowed tightly. The teenagers in the back glanced at each other, secretly worried, and didn't dare to say half a word.

Whew-

In the blink of an eye, Xu Xingchen had already come to the top of the Falling Cloud Stairs out of breath, and the tall figure of the master jumped in front of him at once. He lowered his head and looked at the master in fear, and his heart was already ready to be beaten and punished.

"What's the matter, I saw the teacher, I saw the monster, right? I don't dare to put a fart!"

Qingyuan Shangxian frowned, and Xu Xingchen stood there uneasily, biting his lip tightly, and didn't say a word.

"What's the matter, the wings are stiff? I don't even listen to the words of the teacher?!"

Seeing that Xu Xingchen didn't answer, Qingyuan Shangxian became even more angry, pointing at Xu Xingchen's forehead and scolding loudly.

All the words Xu Xingchen wanted to say in his heart were washed away by fear, and his eyes suddenly glanced at the few teenagers behind him, only to see Jiang Xiaoshu eyeing him there, and his mouth kept babbling: "Kneel down and kneel!"

Xu Xingchen came to his senses at this time, hurriedly knelt down, tried to calm himself, and said tremblingly: "The disciple is wrong, please punish the master!"

"Oh, you still know the word 'wrong', it's really a surprise for the teacher!"

Qingyuan Shangxian snorted angrily and asked rhetorically.

"Master......"

Xu Xingchen tried to explain, but he didn't know what to say, biting his lip, and his heart was even more panicked.

"Don't call me Master, do you still have me as a Master in your heart?"

Qingyuan Shangxian only felt that Xu Xingchen dared to talk back to him, and he was even more angry, threw the scroll in his hand, and said angrily, "You used to go down the mountain, and you came up before the third watch. Although the rules are strict, but for the sake of worshipping your deceased mother and my disciple, I turned a blind eye and hid this matter from the senior brother in charge for you, so you can just go. But I never thought that you would get worse last time, and you didn't go up the mountain until early in the morning, and you were almost discovered by the outer disciples of Tianling Peak patrolling the mountain. ”

The more Qingyuan Shangxian spoke, the more angry he became, and then pointed at the little boy, and then poked Xu Xingchen's head and continued: "Last night, I specially asked him to tell you that you had to go up the mountain before the third watch, but you, you didn't take what I said so seriously. As a teacher, I really can't tolerate you doing such nonsense anymore!"

"Master, apprentice...... In vain, he knew he was wrong. ”

Xu Xingchen secretly blamed himself, which made the master angry again, and kowtowed several times on the ground, saying, I just hope that the master will punish him, and his mood can be better, and his tone is full of sincerity.

However, the anger of Qingyuan Shangxian still did not subside, but there was a tendency to burn fiercely, and he raised his hand to fan Xu Xingchen.

Jiang Xiaoshu saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly jumped in front of Qing Yuan from behind. Qingyuan Shangxian saw this sudden figure, his hand stopped in mid-air, and in the end he didn't fight, and then immediately became angry, and yelled at Jiang Xiaoshu: "The person I want to fight is him, not you? What are you doing?!"

Jiang Xiaoshu didn't show any panic, pretended to be a hippie smile, and replied: "Uncle Shi, you dissipate your anger, dissipate your anger." Xingchen is so honest, he must not dare to deliberately disobey your words, don't be so angry. Besides, isn't he back now? The master didn't find him either, this is a blessing, don't take it seriously. ”

Jiang Xiaoshu has always been a clever person, and when Qingyuan Shangxian heard him say this, his anger disappeared a little. But when Qing Yuan looked at Xu Xingchen, he suddenly became angry again, and continued to scold: "If I don't take it to heart, if I don't take it to heart, he may do something even more unexpected and ridiculous in the future! If I don't punish him well, what else will I do?"

Just as Jiang Xiaoshu wanted to continue to explain something to Xu Xingchen, Yang Cheng also walked out, knelt down and interceded for Xu Xingchen: "Master has scolded, but don't be angry." I don't think Senior Brother did it on purpose, so you can just take it lightly!"

"Yes, please be merciful to Master's subordinates!" Cheng He remembered the brotherhood of his fellow disciples, and also asked Qing Yuan.

Immediately afterwards, several brothers pleaded for Xu Xingchen.

Xu Xingchen only felt a warmth in his heart, and the tears that had just dried were soaked with tears again, and he raised his head and looked at Qing Yuan with tears in his eyes.

Qingyuan Shangxian saw that everyone was trying their best to protect Xu Xingchen like this, and Xu Xingchen also repented, and his heart finally softened. He thought about it carefully, sighed, and looked at the crowd: "Okay, then I will follow your wishes." Xu Xingchen made a mistake, and the lenient punishment is not not without punishment. In this way, punish Xu Xingchen to go to the Qingming Ancestral Hall and keep the spirit of the ancestors for seven days. These days, you guys, don't bring him food!"

"Yes!"

Although this punishment is still not light, after seven days of fasting, anyone with an iron body will also be seriously ill. But this is already a good kind of punishment among the many punishments of Xuyun, and the disciples also know that they can't get an inch anymore, so they hurriedly responded to Qingyuan with their fists, and their hearts were finally a little more comfortable.

Qing Yuan turned his head, his face still had a stern look, and said sharply: "Xingchen, this time for the teacher, just to make you have a longer memory!, you know?!"

"Disciple understands, thank you, Master!"

Xu Xingchen blamed himself spontaneously, and suddenly buckled his head......
