Night is gradually falling, a bright moon hangs on the mountain, the moon is like water, sprinkled in the mountain gate, but also sprinkled in the small courtyard of Lanxin, the soft light warms the two people in the courtyard. It gives the two lonely and thin figures a little more warmth, and also provides a glimmer of light for their busyness.

At this time, in this small courtyard of Lanxin, a thin figure was constantly busy, while another taller figure was constantly admonishing, "Little junior brother, it's so late today, let's rest first! It's not too late to get these tomorrow!"

However, the thin figure did not stop, wiped his forehead, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, senior brother, I'm still in good spirits, when I get this place right, it's not too late for me to rest!"

The tall figure sighed and said, "Well, let's go, since you're not tired of being a junior brother, I'm not too lazy as a senior brother, so let's go back with you!"

After a while, the tall figure turned his head again and said to the thin figure: "Little junior brother, although it will be done well here tonight, you can't sleep in right away, otherwise, you will have a cold and flu, but you can't afford to suffer!"

The thin figure nodded and said with a smile: "Senior brother, I know!"

Hearing this, the tall figure also smiled, "Well, it's good to know!" He looked at the busy back of the thin figure, as if he saw his own shadow back then, and unconsciously showed a knowing smile. But for a moment, he seemed to remember something, and suddenly said: "That's right, junior brother, senior brother really didn't expect that you have just succeeded in building the foundation, and your spirit is so good, you have been busy for so long, and you don't feel tired at all, like an ordinary child, I'm afraid that you will be tired to death!"

"Is there one?" The thin figure laughed, but rolled his eyes and said, "Senior brother, that's all because the dishes you cooked today are delicious, so I accidentally ate a few big bowls, and now I'm still full of energy!"

The tall figure snorted and said, "Senior brother, I didn't see it, you kid looks honest, but your mouth is powerful!" turned his expression to a solemn expression, "Okay, junior brother, let's hurry up, we have to get up early tomorrow!"

"Hmm!" the thin figure replied, and did not say much more, concentrating on getting busy.

It turned out that these two people were Zhou Yan and Ye Xiaotian. Today, the two of them were busy in the kitchen for a while, Zhou Yan made several dishes, and the two of them had a good meal! And during the meal, due to Zhou Yan's enthusiasm, Ye Xiaotian gradually stopped feeling timid, and began to let go, and after talking for a while, the two became familiar like people who had been together for a few months. Zhou Yan affectionately called Ye Xiaotian junior brother, and Ye Xiaotian also called Zhou Yan senior brother.

After that, back in the small courtyard, Ye Xiaotian suddenly wanted to clean the courtyard, and Zhou Yan thought that the little junior brother would definitely have his own house in the future, so he nodded and agreed. So, after the two of them finished eating, they began to clean up, but how could the house that had been deserted for decades be easily cleaned, and the dust inside was almost covered with several layers, not to mention that moss might grow inside!

So, the two of them started to do it in the afternoon, and until the evening, they didn't finish it, and after more than an hour, Zhou Yan began to admonish, but Ye Xiaotian was stubborn to continue to do it. Helpless, Zhou Yan was afraid that Ye Xiaotian would be tired, so he had to follow. Fortunately, after a few times, the house gradually improved, and it looked a lot cleaner, and the two of them worked hard to clean it.

But it wasn't until the wee hours of the morning that the house was finally completely cleaned. Looking at the absence of a trace of dust, the incomparably clean bluestone floor and the fresh smell of the room, both of them were deposed with joy.

However, this room is indeed as Zhou Yan said, it can't be lived in for the time being! So at night, Ye Xiaotian and Zhou Yan squeezed into the small bed. It's autumn, and the temperature at night has already turned cold, not to mention that on this high mountain, there is a mountain breeze blowing, which makes people shudder and silence. It's just that the two of them are huddled on the narrow bed, but they feel warm.

Lying on the bed, Ye Xiaotian looked at the moonlight shining in from the window, and finally asked Zhou Yan: "Senior brother, why is you the only one here, what about the other senior brothers, and ......" is the master who has not yet met, Ye Xiaotian secretly thought, I don't know if he will accept me?

"Alas......" Zhou Yan sighed and said, "I knew you would ask sooner or later...... Well, senior brother, I'll make it clear to you tonight!"

"Our courtyard is called Lanxin Courtyard, in the past, it was the residence of the people of Zixia Peak Tianhe Road...... So, in Zhou Yan's slow narration, Ye Xiaotian gradually understood the reason.

It turned out that this deserted courtyard was called Lanxin Courtyard, and its owner was a Tianhe Dao person on Zixia Peak. It is rumored that Tianhe Daoren is the same junior disciple of the head of Tianyun Zhenren, back then, because of an accident, the previous head of Xuanxin Zhenren actually accepted two disciples, but, when passing the position of the head, Xuanxin Zhenren passed the position of head to his senior brother Tianyun, and Tianhe came to Zixia Peak alone, was accepted by the previous first Kongxuan of Zixia Peak, was named Tianhe Daoren, and gave Lanxin Xiaoyuan as his place of cultivation and teaching.

It is rumored that the Dao realm of the people of Tianhe Road is no match for his senior brother Tianyun Zhenren, and the Xuanxin Zhenren will pass on the throne to Tianyun Zhenren because Tianyun is long. Based on this, every time a new disciple who enters the sect through the selection of disciples will come and worship under the Tianhe Gate, and Tianhe will not refuse to come, and accept all of them. At that time, the Lanxin Courtyard could be regarded as the most lively cultivation courtyard in Zixia Peak. And Zixia Peak, because of the existence of Lanxin Courtyard, has a resounding reputation throughout the eight veins.

One day, when the disciples of the Hezuo Sect got up early in the morning to wait for the master to preach, they found that the master had not come out for a long time, and when they looked for him, they were nowhere to be found. This news spread on the same day, and within a few days, it had spread throughout the entire Purple Cloud Nine Peaks. At that time, everyone was amazed, and they didn't understand how such a proud son of heaven could suddenly disappear. The disciples of Lanxin Small Courtyard were anxiously waiting, but this waiting had no result after all.

Dozens of hundreds of years have passed, and his disciples have finally lost their patience and transferred to other uncles and uncles one by one. Some insisted on waiting, but in the end, they didn't dare to wait any longer. As a result, this Lanxin courtyard gradually became deserted, day after day, year after year, this Lanxin courtyard was full of grass, and each side room was also piled with endless dust.

In this way, the Lanxin Courtyard, which had been silent for more than ten years, once again ushered in a master, a new disciple who was assigned here by the first Yunshan because of his extremely low talent, and this disciple was naturally Zhou Yan.

After Zhou Yan was assigned to the Lanxin Courtyard, he thought very openly, he actively started the cleaning work, almost day and night, and it didn't take long for the entire lonely Lanxin Courtyard to be completely new by it. In the face of the situation without a master, he didn't care much, he insisted on going to the back mountain to do his homework every day, and in his spare time, he studied "Yantian Jue" alone, and his life was very comfortable.

However, a person's time to endure loneliness is limited, five years later, ten years later, twenty years later, Zhou Yan finally couldn't hold on and wanted to leave Lanxin Courtyard, however, because of his talent, no one of the elders would want him, so he had to reluctantly return to Lanxin Courtyard.

After that, Zhou Yan no longer had that kind of diligent mind, he became lazy, and he never did the cleaning work anymore, and after a long time, the Lanxin courtyard also returned to the previous desolate situation, but there was only one side room, neat and clean, existing in this dilapidated scene, as if rebelling against the injustice of fate to himself.

However, fate disdained his resistance, and even intensified it, so that there was a young man assigned here because of his poor talent in the Lanxin Academy, looking at the innocence of the young man, he seemed to see his shadow back then. couldn't help but sigh for a long time, and turned into helplessness.

"Senior brother, why do they want to leave here, stay here, talk about cultivation methods together, and cultivate together, isn't it better?" Ye Xiaotian moved his body to make himself sleep a little more comfortable, he remembered that when he was in Ziyunju before, didn't he also have no master to teach, but everyone was cultivating happily, and no one thought of leaving, if it wasn't for that incident!

Zhou Yan shook his head and sighed: "Little junior brother, you don't know if you haven't cultivated yet, how much influence the master has on the disciples in the early stage of cultivation. Although cultivators all say, 'Master leads you into the door, and it depends on each person in your cultivation!' but in fact, at the beginning of cultivation, Master can always play a guiding role in the disciple's cultivation path. This guiding effect is the role of the master in answering the confusion of the disciples on the path of cultivation, and it also has the effect of taking fewer detours, and this detour is calculated in tens or hundreds of years!"

"Hmm, that's it!" Ye Xiaotian exhaled, "No wonder they will leave, it is estimated that they will not be able to wait for tens or hundreds of years! Alas, I don't know how we should continue to cultivate!"

"Little junior brother, don't worry!" Zhou Yan said with relief at this time, "Although cultivation is based on qualifications and talents, as long as we work hard and devote ourselves to the Tao, we will not be inferior to others......!" No, when Zhou Yan said this, he didn't even feel credible!

However, Ye Xiaotian listened to it and listened deeply to the words of this senior brother who cared about him. After a while, he sat up sideways again, and asked with a smile, "Senior brother, you have been cultivating here for so many years, the Dao Law realm must be very high, right?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yan also smiled and said: "Little junior brother, although the senior brother is dull, it can be regarded as a small success, and he has succeeded in condensing the yuan, and now, it is the strength of the triple spirit gathering!"

"Soul Gathering Triple, that must be very powerful, right?"

"Of course, how can your senior brother's cultivation level not be powerful? Okay, sleep, I still have to do my homework tomorrow!" With that, Zhou Yan turned around, leaving only Zhou Yan with a smug smile. However, Ye Xiaotian felt a deep helplessness in that smile.

The mountain breeze blows the shadows of the trees, and the moonlight is like water, sprinkled between the mountains, but it adds a touch of hideous and terrifying, only the sound of insects comes, one, two, low cut, telling the silence of this night!
