Chapter XXIV: Punishment

The furnishings in the room are simple and unpretentious.

Entering the hall is the hall, there are no objects placed, the left compartment is greeted by a table of eight immortals, with four benches, a Taiji diagram gossip pattern on the wall, and then you can see a cabinet on each side, which should be used to place clothes.

The next room on the right is a sleeping bunk, which seems to hold four to six people, with four new sets of bedding on the bed, neatly stacked, and a powerful word 'Dao' written on the wall in black ink.

Bai Xianyue flew onto the bed, turned over and pillowed her hands, lifted Erlang's legs and said leisurely, "I can finally rest." ”

Xiri and Shen Xingchen also collapsed on the bed together, closing their eyes.

"Big brother, second brother, you say, who is more powerful than Master and Shouqing?"

Shen Xingchen said: "Instant Yue, since we are already disciples of Baixian Mountain, we must understand the rules, and we must call Uncle Shi in the future." ”

"Got it! Got it, isn't it just the three of us?"

Shen Xingchen: "Respect is in the heart, no matter who or no. ”

"Okay....." Bai Xianyue said softly: "Then is the master more powerful or the master more powerful?"

Shen Xingchen: "It's hard to say, Master also said that he didn't spy on the eighth layer of the Dao, listening to the conversations of the uncles, the head master and the Shouqing master should also be stagnant at the seventh layer, it seems that this is a hurdle." ”

"What is the seventh layer, the eighth layer? Big brother, you have followed Master Shouqing for the longest time, what do you think?"

Rixi: "I don't know, as the second brother said, the seventh layer is indeed a hurdle. Uncle Shi once told me that there are many cultivation methods in Baixian Mountain, and there are all kinds of them, whether it is the moves of martial arts or the internal strength and heart method, there are different directions. The most representative of Baixian Mountain is the "Lingbao Bi Fa", "Supreme Nine Heavens Thunder Jade Sutra" and "Taiyi Zhengong" three sets of methods. ”

Bai Xianyue: "So much?"

Rixi nodded and said: "Actually, there are others, but these three exercises have the largest number of disciples of Baixian Mountain in the past dynasties, and they have been passed down from generation to generation, compared to cultivating these three sets of methods, you can get more guidance." Each set is a supreme method, and it is not so easy to practice. Take "Lingbao Bi Fa" as an example, it is also divided into three sets of methods: "Yuan Shi Jinhe", "Yuan Huang Jade Book" and "Taishang True Original Meaning". ”

Bai Xianyue: "Is it so complicated?"

Rixi: "I heard from my uncle, almost all the disciples of Baixian Mountain have practiced "Taiyi True Gong". Because this exercise can cultivate the true qi in one's body to be pure, and those who have learned it are quite pure, so the cultivation of other methods and techniques will also get twice the result with half the effort, so "Taiyi True Gong" is also considered by many people to be a compulsory method in Baixian Mountain, and it is considered to be the foundation of many methods in Baixian Mountain. In addition to majoring in "Taiyi True Gong", Shi Bo himself is also practicing "Supreme Nine Heavens Thunder Jade Sutra" and "Seven Steps Dust Technique", and there is a very powerful technique in "Supreme Nine Heavens Thunder Jade Sutra", which is the Thunder Method. Attracting the heavenly thunder for his own use, the power is quite amazing, and it is also the unique skill of Baixian Mountain. The "Seven Steps of Dust Technique" contains a variety of spells. ”

Bai Xianyue: "Big brother, what formation did you just say?"

Rixi shook his head and said, "This uncle didn't tell me. ”

Bai Xianyue: "Then Uncle Shi is stagnant in the seventh layer of "Taiyi True Gong"?"

Rixi: "It should be, it is said that so far only two people have practiced the entire "Taiyi Zhengong", and they have practiced to the ninth level, one is the founding patriarch, and the other is who, and the master did not tell me. ”

Bai Yiyue let out an "oh" in disappointment. "Then they're all stuck here, so is it possible for us to break through?"

"In fact, there are many such as "Taiqing Qi Regulating Sutra", "Taishang Taizhen Law", "Wenshi Zhenjing" and so on, which are said to be comparable to "Taiyi Zhengong", but there are relatively few people who have been practicing them. Uncle Shi said that we don't necessarily have to specialize in "Taiyi Zhengong" like him, if we have a fate and practice other exercises, it may have unexpected effects. ”

"That old man....." Bai Xianyue wanted to speak and stopped, and said "bah, bah, bah" three times: "I mean that the master taught you a lot." ”

Shen Xingchen couldn't help but almost laugh when he saw Bai Xianyue's appearance.

"Knock, knock, knock......" There was a knock at the door.

"Three junior brothers, I'll take you to dinner. ”

Canteen

Candlelight flickered

It's a lot of space, but there's plenty of light to illuminate it.

There are thirty tables of eight immortals in the huge dining hall, and each table is equipped with four benches.

The three of them walked into the dining hall with joy, and there were already ten tables filled with people.

"Three junior brothers, you sit here, there is still a place here, and the rice is in the corner. Yang Yu pointed to the two wooden barrels in the corner.

The three of them sat down in the spare seats, looking at the six butterfly dishes on the table, Bai Xianyue asked with a smile, "Senior brother, are we all fasting?"

Yang Yu said with a smile: "Because the juniors and disciples who do the evening class tonight are all monks, so they are all vegetarian dishes, if you don't eat vegetarian dishes, tomorrow I will take you to the canteen opposite, where there are meat dishes." We are all cultivators, and our food and lodging are relatively simple, which is not as simple as your previous life. ”

"If you're not used to eating, don't come to Baixian Mountain!" said a yin and yang person beside him.

Bai Yanyue glanced at the person who spoke, with his hair tied up and hairpins inserted, dressed in blue Dero, and his appearance was still delicate.

"What? Doesn't sound good, does it?" the man continued.

The joy of the three of them coming to the canteen for the first time suddenly vanished.

Shen Xingchen sneered and explained: "Senior brother, you misunderstood, Instant Moon just asked casually, and didn't mean anything else, we used to eat much worse than these, and there was not a single meal." ”

The man still didn't give up, "Then you mean that the food here is also terrible?"

"No, I didn't mean that......" Shen Xingchen hurriedly explained.

"Senior Brother Yiqing, don't talk nonsense. I saw Yang Yu's eyebrows frowning, obviously a little unhappy.

"What's the matter? Senior brother, don't you want to say it?" Yi Qing looked at Bai Yiyue coldly and said: "It is said that reincarnation is a technical work, I see! This name is also a technical work, these years, as long as the name has a day or a star, they are all regarded as saviors, and they must enjoy superior treatment." ”

"It's ......"

"Who's to say it isn't?"

The people next to him also chimed in.

Yiqing suddenly said with a look of sudden realization: "Yo, I forgot, they are the future saviors! Please, please, let the junior brother in the kitchen help make a few meat dishes later, and replenish the body of the three saviors, they are the hope of the whole world! No one can starve them when they are hungry! Senior brothers, don't you say?"

"yes!"

"Hurry up! Otherwise, the master will blame him later, but it will be miserable. ”

Yang Yu glared angrily and said, "Senior Brother Yiqing, have you made enough trouble?"

"Senior brother, am I wrong? Master has been in retreat all year round, and he has been practicing hard all year round, just so that he can deal with the Demon Lord in the future, and it is difficult for us senior brothers to see Master, and now we have accepted them as apprentices, isn't that causing trouble to Master?"

At this moment, everyone who had been watching the excitement suddenly lowered their heads and desperately pulled rice into their mouths, as if nothing had happened, except for the sound of rice, the audience was quiet and terrible.

I only heard a "squeak", and the bench under Yiqing's buttocks suddenly moved back, and Yiqing fell into a big squat with a junior brother next to him.

"Who! Who's got rid of Lao Tzu together. Yiqing stood up suddenly, shouted angrily, and when he turned around, he saw a person standing in front of him, and after seeing it clearly, his spine was cold, and he hurriedly lowered his head and shouted tremblingly:

"Master. ”

Shouxu glanced at the apprentices who were eating desperately, then looked at Yiqing and said, "You mean that I have been in retreat all year round and have not taught you well?"

Yiqing's forehead was covered with beads of sweat: "That's not what the disciple meant, don't misunderstand, Master." ”

"Then you mean I don't have the ability to teach you?" Shou Xuan asked coldly.

Yiqing was asked this question, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Master, the disciple definitely didn't mean that. As he spoke, he slapped his mouth hard and said, "The disciple is talking nonsense, the disciple is open-mouthed, and he asks the master to punish him." ”

Shou Yu let Yiqing beat himself all the time and ignored it.

Shen Xingchen hurriedly stood up and said, "Master, Senior Brother Yiqing was joking with us just now! ”

Shouxu glanced at Yi Qing, who was kneeling on the ground and still smoking his mouth, and said lightly: "Yiqing, as a teacher, I also feel that I am not qualified to teach you, so it is better for you to be vulgar as soon as possible, right? ”

Hearing this, Yiqing was so frightened that he hurriedly kowtowed, and every time he really knocked the stone slabs on the ground: "Master, the disciple is wrong, please ask the master to punish him, the disciple will never dare again." ”

Bai Xianyue stood up and asked, "Master, is this Senior Brother Qing practicing Iron Head Skills? His head is so hard? I see that the stone slabs on the ground are about to break." ”

"Poof", there are already people who can't help but squirt out the rice, some are surprised, and some are choking.

Shen Xingchen grabbed Bai Xianyue and shook his head, and then said to Shouxu: "Master, when a newcomer first arrives, he has his own education from his predecessors, this is a rule that has existed since ancient times, otherwise newcomers will receive too much preferential treatment as soon as they come, and those who are close will not respect their elders, and those who are far away will be laissez-faire, and Senior Brother is also helping us to practice and teach us how to restrain ourselves, are you right?"

Shouxu looked at Shen Xingchen and said lightly: "That's the bad habit of the world, this is Baixian Mountain." Don't move here what you used to be in the folk. Shouxu asked, "Yiqing, what did you say was wrong?"

Yiqing hurriedly said: "Master, the disciple's mistake is that he is a monk, 'disgusting and evil desires, obedient words and deeds'. ”

Shouxu: "What else?"

Yiqing: "Article 39 of the Door Rules says: 'All my disciples of my own sect, my righteous colleagues, and all those who have the fate of the Dharma in the world should be treated equally, as elders, as compatriots, as parents and children, and should not be oppressed, not fornicated, and not cholera ......'"

Shouxu: "I remember very clearly, why don't I see you doing it?"

Yiqing hurriedly kowtowed and said: "Master, the disciple has not practiced enough, from today on, the disciple must practice hard and no longer think about it." ”

Shouxu looked at Bai Xianyue and asked, "How do you think it's good to punish him?"

Shouxu didn't ask Shen Xingchen, who had been helping Yiqing exonerate, nor did he ask about the sunset that was silent and silent, but asked Bai Xianyue, and everyone didn't know what Shouxu was thinking in his heart.

Hearing the words expelled from the division, Yiqing almost fainted at the beginning, and now the master is asking Bai Xianyue's opinion again, from the joke just now, Yiqing knows very well in his heart that this Bai Xianyue is a little bit of a joke, this time it is planted in his hands, I don't know how he will die, and hurriedly kowtowed to Bai Xianyue and said: "Senior brother, I was talking nonsense just now, and I ask my junior brother to be gracious, don't be surprised." As he spoke, he slapped himself in the face.

Shen Xingchen was worried that Bai Xianyue was holding back in his heart, so he hurriedly pulled Bai Xianyue.

Bai Xianyue gently broke away from Shen Xingchen's hand, hurriedly grabbed Yiqing's hand and said, "Senior brother, don't be joking, don't kowtow to me, only the master can afford to kowtow." "Squinted again and peeked at Shouxu, and thought: 'This master must know, if you ask the second brother's opinion, with the second brother's temperament, I am afraid that if the punishment is equal to no punishment, then it is not good for the three of us to go down the stairs. A joke of his own just now may make Shouxu feel that he is a person who will take revenge, so ask himself, and it will also make the punishment passable and worthy of the table. ’

Bai Xianyue sneered and said, "Master, you ask me, how do I know? Since there are door rules, there must also be punishment regulations, right?"

Shouxu said: "According to our Baixian Mountain door rules, if you violate the door rules seriously, let it be handed over to Chaoyang Peak and handed over to Senior Brother Shouye for handling." If it's a small matter, then take care of it yourself. ”

Bai Xianyue asked: "Eh, Master, did you say before we came, we need to understand the rules of this Baixian Mountain, but no one is perfect, the key is to remember, just do it, no one can do it completely, right." ”

Shouxu said: "Did I say it?"

Bai Xianyue said: "This is not what Master said, but I have a bad brain, and I can't fully remember Master's original words, but I understand that Master probably means this." ”

Shouxu: "And then?"

"This Senior Brother Qing is joking a few words, isn't this the master coming early! Otherwise, this time, our three brothers would have been found back a long time ago, and we wouldn't bother the master. ”

As soon as these words came out, it obviously made people feel that Shouxu was simply coming out for the three of them today, and it also showed that the three of them were not good people.

Master smiled?

This was a scene that almost no one present had ever seen, and the Master even laughed.

Shouxu asked, "Then are you blaming the master for disturbing your good deeds?"

Bai Xianyue said solemnly: "Master, you can't say that, it's just that this person is everywhere, there are always sinister people, and there are always intrigues." Senior Brother Yiqing said that he did not practice enough, and I agree with this, he is a monk! There must be more precepts and rules to be received than those of us secular disciples, and he must do what he needs to do, which at least makes him aware of his own shortcomings. If you don't practice enough, then you can practice again, until you have enough cultivation! You also said that you don't expect us to be saints, and no one is born a saint, right?"

Shouxu watched Bai Xianyue speak seriously with a playful mind, and also felt a little interesting, "What do you want to say?"

"It's nothing, you just said that only those who have seriously violated the door rules will be sent to Master Shouye, and then they will think about expelling the sect from the sect, right! This Senior Brother Qing just said two jokes, and it didn't cause any serious consequences, I think it should be punished as much as possible, wasn't Senior Brother just now going back to the door rules? Then copy the door rules a few times and keep them in mind. ”

Hearing this, Yiqing and Shen Xingchen's hanging hearts finally settled.

"Just copy the rules a few times?" Shouxu asked.

"Master, we have a word first, let's not say that the three of us don't know the rules of the door, even if we do, we will commit a crime if we don't do it one day, can you really bear to expel us from the sect?" Bai Yiyue asked cautiously.

Shouxu: "Then you mean that you haven't even started to learn the rules, and you've already figured out how to break it?"

Bai Xianyue: "Master, don't take it out of context! There are many rules in this door, you said, this person is not a saint is also what you said, one day someone accidentally violates the door, it is inevitable, just like this Qing senior brother, but just two jokes, can be matched with the doorway." ”

Shouxu: "Then you mean to make a big fuss for the teacher?"

Bai Xianyue: "Master, this is what you said yourself, I didn't say it, but I'm not afraid to tell you honestly, I didn't have a father and mother since I was a child, and no one taught me any rules, even if I did, if I kept those rules, I would have starved to death." ”

"Presumptuous. Yang Yu was worried that Bai Xianyue would say a lot of mistakes, so he hurriedly pretended to be angry and stopped.

Bai Xianyue hurriedly said: "Senior brother, what I said is the truth, I have no father or mother since I was a child, if I hadn't done something to steal chickens and dogs, you and Master might not have seen me, and I would have become a roadside white bone a long time ago, but I also keep making small mistakes, don't make big things, in the face of benevolence, righteousness and morality, I still understand a little, at least we still have a conscience." Besides, this Shouqing master took us all over the world, for fear that others would not know that we were the nemesis against the Demon Lord, and we really had such rules, you think about it, who is the Demon Lord? Don't think about it, let alone deal with him, when he drinks and eats is not qualified. Bai Xianyue smiled at Shou Xuhan and said, "Yes, Master." ”

Shouxu didn't answer Bai Xianyue's words, and said to Yang Yu: "Later, let the kitchen cook some other dishes they like to eat." ”

Shen Xingchen hurriedly said, "Master, don't worry, this dish is very good." I didn't eat meat since I was a child, and these dishes were more like the meals my mother cooked for me. ”

Shouxu didn't pay attention to Shen Xingchen, just looked at Yang Yu and said, "Just do it." ”

Yang Yu nodded and said, "Yes, Master, ...... that Senior Brother of Yiqing?"

Shouxu walked to the outer door, and said softly as he walked: "Face the wall for a month, copy the door rules every day." ”

Looking at the figure of Shouxu leaving, Yiqing kowtowed again and shouted, "Master Xie." ”

Yang Yu said: "Senior Brother Yiqing, you still have to thank them for helping you say good things." ”

Yiqing looked like a child who had done something wrong, got up slowly, lowered his head and whispered, "Thank you, junior brother." ”

As if she hadn't heard it, Bai Xianyue pulled Yang Yu to the door and said, "Senior brother, let's go!
