readx;? A freshly cultivated field, with its dark appearance of soil, proves that the soil is very fertile. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

A little girl, about six or seven years old, carrying a small basket, was bouncing around in the fields, bending down from time to time to dig through the dirt in search of something.

Not far from the field, on a hillside, Ding Peng had been standing there at some point, watching the little girl's play quite interestingly.

Suddenly, with a cheer, the little girl jumped up for joy, laughed like a silver bell, and crouched down to carefully take out two small flowers and plants from the basket.

Cutting through the soil, the little girl planted the flowers and plants there, and then carefully covered the roots with the soil.

The little girl took out a kettle from the basket and watered the little flowers and plants very lovingly.

When she had done this, the little girl stood up and let out a soft sigh of satisfaction. Perhaps she was already looking forward to how delicate flowers would grow from these flowers and plants.

She probably didn't know that the plant she had planted with her own hands was a branch of the extremely poisonous Lingzhi Orchid.

A gust of wind blew, Ding Peng on the hillside had already teleported to the field, and the little girl was about to stretch her waist, when she suddenly found that the master had come to her side, she was taken aback, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Disciple knock on the master." ”

Ding Peng smiled and said gently: "Get up, don't be polite." Your name is Gou Ermei? Gou Dafang's sister, aren't you?"

There are more than 100 Xingzhu disciples, and Ding Peng is not very impressed by some disciples who are not prominent, and even some people's full names are not clear.

Gou Ermei is a disciple who is not outstanding, she was too young when she joined the stars, and she has not achieved much after cultivating for more than a year, so it is difficult to enter Ding Peng's vision.

The reason why Ding Peng remembers her is because she has a good brother, Gou Dafang, the youngest disciple among the top ten masters of the sect ranked last time.

Gou Ermei is a lively child, but she didn't dare to make a mistake in front of the master, and when she heard Ding Peng's inquiry, she bowed her head and said respectfully: "Back to Master, the disciple is Gou Ermei, and my brother is Gou Dafang." ”

A child who is only six or seven years old, his behavior has become a little restrained, not for anything else, it is really a strict rule of the star gate, especially the distinction between respect and inferiority, too many brothers and sisters in the same door have already eaten a lesson for such reasons, and a girl in the same room as the second sister of Gou was even cut off a little finger by the senior brother because she said a complaint of disrespect to the master during the chat.

Therefore, although Ding Peng never punished his disciples personally, there was no one in the Xingzhu Sect who was not afraid and obedient to him, and some timid disciples were even speechless in front of him.

In such a comparison, although Gou Ermei is young, she is quite bold.

Ding Peng was obviously in a good mood today, with a gentle smile on his face, he said softly, "Were you planting herbs just now?"

Second Sister Gou nodded, raised her head and glanced at the master quickly, seeing that he was full of smiles, she was a little bolder, and said coquettishly: "Back to the master's words, this is the Lingzhi orchid cultivated by Qin Lao, which has been successfully branched, and after taking root in the water, Qin Lao asked his disciples to try to plant two trees, if they don't die in ten days, they will be considered transplanted alive." ”

"Oh, you know a lot. Ding Peng looked at the small mouth in front of him, found it quite interesting, and continued to ask: "For the teacher, you just ran around, as if you were looking for something, are you choosing a suitable planting place?"

Gou Ermei nodded again, squatted down, and shaved the soil with her little hands very neatly, explaining: "Lingzhilan is very squeamish, the soil is too dry, it is not good, it is not good if it is too wet, and it also needs to be breathable, so the disciple was looking for earthworms just now, and where there are earthworms, the soil is softer, so that it can breathe well." ”

Ding Peng laughed and praised: "Yes, you did a good job." However, I would like to remind you again that the Lingzhi Orchid cannot be exposed to strong sunlight, so it needs to be given some shelter at noon to help it shade. You're going to have a lot of work to do. ”

Gou Ermei's little face had a serious expression, and she said loudly: "Please rest assured, Master, the disciple will definitely take care of them and will definitely let them survive." ”

Ding Peng looked interesting, reached out and touched her apple-like little face, and said with a smile: "Okay! Master is waiting to see your results, these two Lingzhi orchids only need to survive one plant, and there will be a lot of rewards for the teacher!"

Gou Ermei felt more and more that the master was not as stern and cold as the same person privately said, how could a cold person be so kind and friendly, her fear was gone, and she became bolder, and took the opportunity to ask for conditions: "Master is a big man, my brother said what the big man said, the master will definitely not regret it, the disciple doesn't want any heavy rewards, I just want the master to promise the disciple one thing at that time." ”

"Oh, what's the matter, you tell me first. ”

Ding Peng's mood is indeed very good, there is half a step left in the fifth layer realm, and the obstacles that stand in his way have been completely cleared, as long as time passes, the Five Poison Divine Palm will soon be able to be cultivated.

Because of such a good mood, Ding Peng actually ignored the little girl's cunning psychology for the first time, and prepared that as long as it was not too excessive, no matter whether Lingzhilan could survive or not, she would be satisfied.

Unexpectedly, what Gou Ermei said surprised him very much.

I only heard Gou Ermei say: "I want to ask the master to divide me into the water group and my brother in the same group." ”

Ding Peng was a little surprised, such a rare opportunity was just to change the group, is this little girl too young and ignorant?

But it's not like, judging from her conversation and demeanor, this little girl is the kind of precocious wisdom, now Ding Peng's majesty is getting heavier and heavier, and those adult disciples standing beside him are a little trembling and stammering, but this little girl is not only a little nervous at the beginning, but this little girl will soon be able to answer fluently, her mind is smart, and she has some modest and non-arrogant demeanor, to say that she does not know the preciousness of Ding Peng's promise, it is impossible.

Ding Peng's heart moved, and he deliberately lowered his face and said: "The grouping of disciples is a major matter of the sect, how can you interfere as a child?"

Gou Ermei hurriedly knelt down and said in a low voice: "The disciple doesn't dare, the disciple and the elder brother are deeply blessed by the master's life, and will adopt and cultivate the homeless us, the disciple will always remember the master's grace, and it is also appropriate to do something for the master, it doesn't matter if the master awards it or not." ”

A smile appeared at the corner of Ding Peng's mouth, this little girl is not simple, she can say it so eloquently at a young age, and it is reasonable, and finally she will say to herself, in addition to the strict rules of the star gate, if there is a mistake, there is also a core principle that meritorious service must be rewarded, she cultivates a good Lingzhi Orchid, how can she not be rewarded?

Ding Peng pondered for a moment and asked, "Why did you want to be transferred to the water group? You need to know that except for your brother, who is extremely talented and has other arrangements for the teacher, the rest of the people in the water group can only practice hidden weapons, and you can practice a lot of martial arts in the gold group, isn't it much better than polishing boring secret weapon techniques all day long?"

Gou Ermei did not hesitate and said: "The master cultivates the disciple's brother carefully, and the disciple and the elder brother are very grateful, but some people are red-eyed, often squeeze out the elder brother, and make things difficult everywhere, the disciple wants to be with the elder brother, lest he be lonely all day long, and there is no one to talk to." ”

"Is there such a thing?" Ding Peng frowned and said, "Who are you talking about?"

Gou Ermei hesitated: "My brother warned the disciple not to say it, and the disciple also thought that it was inappropriate to talk about people behind his back. After all, they are all the same family. ”

Ding Peng glanced at the little girl deeply, if he hadn't happened to meet him today, he wouldn't have imagined that there would be such a smart person among the disciples in the seat.

Although she didn't say the specific names, she only used the word "them", and she had already revealed a lot of information.

Obviously, Gou Dafang should have suffered the overall exclusion of the entire water group, in this way, Gou Ermei naturally can't reveal her name, otherwise, Gou Dafang won't have to stay in the water group anymore in the future, no need to deliberately exclude, as long as you offend everyone, everyone just needs to use the power of silence to make people unbearable.

But she just said the word "them", Ding Peng, the head of the house, naturally will not be indifferent when he hears it, although he can't punish everyone, but it's okay to arrange it a little, so that the rest of the water group feels the pressure above, and naturally won't do too much, which can be regarded as indirectly helping Gou Dafang.

Not only did she help her brother, but she also said it so decently, and more importantly, this second sister Gou is only six or seven years old now, so smart, and so aware of the overall situation, it is not simple.

Ding Peng didn't say anything, and finally only nodded and said: "If you want to be transferred to the water group, the teacher can't agree to you, but you don't have to worry about your brother's affairs, the teacher will let Li Kun warn you one or two." Also, this seat is a promise, ten days later, if you cultivate a good Lingli Orchid, you can come to me, and there will be a heavy reward for the teacher. ”

Second Sister Gou's face suddenly showed a happy smile, and she said happily: "Okay, I know that Master is not as cold as they say......"

Speaking of this, she suddenly realized that she had said something wrong, Gou Ermei hurriedly covered her mouth, and her two small eyes looked at Ding Peng uneasily.

Ding Peng waved his hand nonchalantly and turned to leave.

......

Ding Peng asked Ding Zhi to be summoned.

After a while, a Qiang boy walked in, it was Ding Zhi, a disciple of the Water Group.

Ding Zhi is not very old, but he has a high status in the sect, he is the first batch of disciples to join the stars, and like Blue Lotus Ding Yi and others, he is a little horse slave that Ding Peng bought from the grassland herdsmen on the other side of the mountain.

However, he has average physical talent, five lines of water, and he was assigned to the water group when he was grouped. Because Ding Peng has not taught the water group poison skills, so several disciple assessments, Ding Zhi has no place to play, but this young man is by no means ordinary, in the task of exterminating the yellow whirlwind lair, Ding Zhi, as an inconspicuous little follower, played an important role at a critical moment, his secret weapon hit Bantianyun hard, so that the horse bandit leader who killed Peng Qiushui and wanted to break through finally hated on the spot.

It was also this mission that Ding Peng began to look at him with admiration, this very low-key young man, who is silent on weekdays, but in fact, his mind is very smart, he is the first person to come to the house to ask the master for peace every day, he always rushes to do some dirty work on the construction site, never complains, and the bits and pieces of weekdays, Ding Peng paid a little attention, and felt that this disciple was a talent that could be created, so he not only helped him to initiate and pass on the gong very early, crossed into the Yuan Yuan true qi, and also passed on the secret weapon technique of the heart bullet to him.

Ding Zhi also lived up to expectations, as a teenager who was not fully developed physically and mentally, he ranked first in the assessment of the water group for many times, which shows that this Qiang boy is not simple.

What Ding Peng values most is his loyalty, his origin is simple, his life is tragic, it is Ding Peng who gave him a new life and gave him a new future, Ding Peng believes that such a disciple is much more loyal than those adult disciples.

Today is the time to test his loyalty.

After Ding Zhi arrived, Ding Peng first asked him about his recent cultivation, and Ding Zhi's attitude was very respectful, even humble, and he reported his situation to the master one by one.

Then, Ding Peng pointed out a few tricks to Ding Zhi with his heart, Ding Zhi couldn't help nodding his head to show that he understood, and his face showed an expression of gratitude and excitement.

Overall, he did very well.

When the guidance was almost complete, Ding Peng asked intentionally or unintentionally: "Zhi'er, the teacher let you take charge of the water group, you have always done a good job, and the teacher wants to hear your evaluation of the other colleagues in the water group today." ”

In the Xingzhu faction, there are five people with the surname of Ding Peng, they are Ding Lianhua and Ding Zhong, Ding Shun, Ding Yi, and Ding Zhi, and Ding Peng has always called them sons to show his cordiality.

I only heard Ding Zhigong say in a loud voice: "Back to Master's words, although the cultivation of the same sect in the water group is not as good as the other four groups, the love between the same sect has always been no worse than that of other groups. ”

When this Qiang boy first came to the Qianhu Basin, he couldn't speak a word of Chinese, but now, he has spoken Chinese very neatly, but his original language has been somewhat forgotten.

Ding Peng sighed and said quietly: "You are a senior brother, you should teach them as much as possible." How is that girl, she is still so lazy and slack?"

Su'er is also a disciple of the water group, according to her qualifications and the time she joined the stars, she should have stood out in the water group a long time ago, but unfortunately she is not a martial arts training material at all, and now she has become a member of the water group who is often at the bottom.

Ding Zhi lowered his head, only glanced at the master with his spare eyes, and saw that his face was expressionless, and he couldn't guess what his mind was, so he had to think about it: "Senior Sister Su'er...... Senior sister is indeed a little slack in practicing, and the disciple will definitely persuade her to be diligent in the future. ”

Ding Peng smiled and said, "How can you persuade her to come over her temperament, let her go." He entered the door later than you, but it seems that he has surpassed you in the last assessment, and you, who are senior brothers, should redouble your efforts. ”

Ding Zhi's heart jumped, and when he heard the master's tone, he seemed to be a little dissatisfied, and suddenly knelt on the ground, and said humbly: "What the master taught is that the disciple must redouble his efforts, but the disciple is stupid, and the senior brother Gou is a genius, and the disciple is afraid that he will not be able to catch up." ”

Ding Peng snorted and said in a deep voice: "Why can't you catch up! You are a person who is optimistic about the teacher, as long as you study hard and practice hard, his future achievements may not be under Gou Dafang." I heard that Gou Dafang is a bit arrogant in the water group because of his talent?"

Ding Zhileng paused for a moment, and hurriedly said, "The disciple has never heard of such a thing, please master to find out!"

"Really?"

Ding Zhi hesitated for a moment and said: "Senior Brother Gou's martial arts are extraordinary, far surpassing his peers in this group, and he ...... on weekdays I may not pay much attention to my behavior on weekdays, but on the whole, it is good, and the disciple has the courage to ask the master not to punish Senior Brother Gou for some gossip. ”

Ding Peng looked at Ding Zhi and said, "You say this, are you trying to protect Gou Dafang?" Hmph, you are a competent senior brother!"

Ding Zhi hurriedly kowtowed, and he didn't dare to say it in his mouth.

Ding Peng waved his hand: "Get up, I didn't blame you for being a teacher, but as the leader of a group, you must report something to this seat in time, do you know?"

The last few words accentuated the tone.

Ding Zhi said respectfully: "The disciple must remember the master's teachings!"

"Get out!"

When Ding Zhi left, Xiu Gu walked out of the room.

Ding Peng said coldly: "This kid is not very old, his disguise skills are not bad, and he dares to play with this seat!"

Xiu Gu said: "According to the situation of the disciple's investigation, the people in the water group, led by Ding Zhi, have been crowded out many times, Master, do you want the disciple to notify Li Kun and punish the crime with the door rules?"

"No!" Ding Peng sighed, shook his head and said: "It is human nature to be jealous and jealous, not to mention that so many people are involved, who should be punished? Besides, this matter was originally not considered by this seat at the beginning, everyone in the water group only practiced secret weapons, but Gou Dafang was the only one who was special, can everyone not be jealous of him? Can he not be excluded? The only thing I am angry about this matter is Ding Zhi's son, who has vain my cultivation heart, but unfortunately, he doesn't know how to cherish it. ”

Xiu Gu nodded and said: "He is still young, a little smart, but he is smart but is mistaken by cleverness, if he confesses everything to the master and has the courage to admit his mistakes, the master will appreciate his loyalty." ”

"Hmph, it is estimated that he is still wishful thinking, thinking that someone is secretly accusing Gou Dafang of his unruly words and deeds, and wants to punish his teacher for his crimes! He didn't think at all that this seat was just a temptation, and he wanted him to tell the truth himself. ”

Xiu Gu said quietly: "What is the master going to do with him?"

Ding Peng laughed, but there was no smile on his face, he said: "The next disciple assessment, let Li Kun find a reason, avoid Ding Zhi's leadership, and temporarily let Lotus replace him, Lotus's child's secret weapon kung fu is no less than Ding Zhi, but her personality lacks tempering, so let her take the opportunity to exercise." ”

Xiu Gu nodded and asked, "Gou Dafang or continue to stay in the water group?"

"Of course!" Ding Peng said in a deep voice: "The decree cannot be abolished, can it be that the rules of this seat can be easily changed? However, after a while, this seat will select a few outstanding people from among the disciples of the water group and formally teach them martial arts, and the problem of the water group will be solved slowly." ”

After Xiu Gu left, Ding Peng patted the handrail and said softly: "Ding Zhi, you don't deserve this name, it's this seat that is out of sight, it seems that cannon fodder is more suitable for you." ”
