The nineteenth day of the first month,

It's cold.

The sky is full of snow, wind and frost, and Huashan is already covered in silver.

As far as the eye can see, there is a heavy layer of snow, and the cold wind from the north howls and echoes in the valley, setting off a large wave of snow.

Listening to the whistling wind outside and feeling the cold air squeezing in through the crack in the door, a group of Huashan disciples all nested in the quilt and refused to get up, and wrapped the quilt tightly around their bodies.

Senior brother Ling Hu Chong didn't want to get up, but as a senior brother, he was ordered by the master and his mother to supervise the morning class of the Huashan disciples, so he still showed his head from the quilt and said, "Dayou, hurry up and call everyone up, it's time for the morning class." ”

Lu Dayou hid in the quilt and said: "Senior brother, it's too cold today, anyway, the master and the master are not here during this time, let's not go today." ”

Linghu Chong said: "If you don't go, others will go." ”

Ling Hu Chong, who was next to him, suddenly coughed twice and did not speak. But from his faint cough, he could already hear that he didn't want to get up with a handful of old bones, braved the wind and snow, and went to the Zhengqi Hall seven or eight miles away for morning class.

Liang Fa also suddenly showed his head, and responded to Lu Dayou's words: "Dayou is right, it doesn't matter if you don't go once in a while, anyway, the master is not there." I can guarantee that they will definitely not go to the little sister in such a cold weather......"

Ling Hu Chong looked at them and smiled bitterly: "If you say you don't go, you won't go, won't the master still blame me when the time comes?" ”

Lu Dayou finally got out of the quilt at this time, and said, "Senior brother, don't worry, after the Lantern Festival two days ago, Master and Master Niang rethought about the cliff retreat, how could they get out of the customs so quickly?" When I delivered food to Master and Mrs. yesterday, I had already heard from them that they were going to retreat until February of the next year, and they would not be going down the mountain during this time. ”

Lu Dayou was wearing his clothes as he spoke, and he looked at the brothers and sisters in a daze.

Linghu Chong asked him, "Since Master and Master are preparing to retreat until February of the next year, why have you started to dress again?" ”

Lu Dayou smiled: "I'll go to the thatched house." ”

Ling Hu Chong rolled his eyes at him, also got up and looked left and right, and suddenly sighed: "What about Senior Brother Lin?" ”

Lu Dayou also glanced at Lin Pingzhi's bed, which was now empty, leaving only the already cold mattress and folded quilt still there.

Shi Daizi, the fourth junior brother, said: "It should be that I went out to practice swords, Senior Brother Lin has always been like this, getting up early every day and going out to practice in the dark." ”

Fifth Senior Brother Gao Genming hid in the quilt and sighed: "Senior Brother Lin has a deep hatred in the sea of blood, of course, you have to practice hard to kill Yu Cang as soon as possible." Yu Canghai's old thing, I've long seen him unpleasant, if I can't beat him, I must try their Qingcheng faction's ass backwards flat sand and falling goose style. ”

Gao Genming's words caused the brothers in the dormitory to burst into laughter.

Only Lu Dayou just nodded slightly and did not speak.

If it was in the past, Lu Dayou would definitely sneer and mock Lin Pingzhi for a few words, but now he didn't say a word.

It's not because Lin Pingzhi was in the Huashan faction during this period of time and showed his prominence. It's because Lin Pingzhi's pattern is big enough, and he didn't take the opportunity to retaliate in the face of Lu Dayou, who had been excluded and targeted at him, which made Lu Dayou feel a little guilty in his heart, feeling that he was really doing something wrong, and his attitude towards Lin Pingzhi changed unconsciously.

But Senior Brother Ling Hu Chong smiled and suddenly sank in his heart, and he couldn't help but think of the teachings of his little junior sister Yue Lingshan and his master in his mind.

This made him sigh, and said in his heart: As the senior brother of the Huashan faction, he did not obey the orders left by the master, and even took the lead in skipping class, no wonder the little junior sister would like Senior Brother Lin. A profligate man like me...... Alas......

Ling Hu Chong thought about it, and suddenly a breath of air surged in his heart, and he suddenly lifted the quilt and jumped up: "Get up for me, wake up the other people in the dormitory, and go to morning class after washing!" ”

All the disciples were stunned, the senior brother was the laziest one in the past, why did he change his personality today?

Although the senior brothers had doubts, they could all see that there was something wrong with Ling Hu Chong's face, and they thought that it must be something that made the senior brother unhappy, so they all hurriedly crawled out of the bed, dressed and folded the quilt, and prepared to go to the Zhengqi Hall for morning class.

Lu Dayou looked at Ling Hu Chong, who suddenly changed his face, and asked, "Big ...... Big brother, I'm ...... Can I go to the hut first? ”

Linghu Chong waved his hand: "Go!" ”

Lu Dayou immediately flew out.

The door was pushed open by Lu Dayou but forgot to close the door, and the cold wind outside rushed in with a whiff of snow, freezing the brothers who were getting dressed in the dormitory, and couldn't help but blurt out:

"Lu Dayou has !!"

"Go back and close the door!!"

······

It's really just as Liang Fa said,

None of the female disciples of the Huashan Sect came under the leadership of Yue Lingshan, only a group of male disciples covered with snow came tremblingly.

As soon as he entered the Zhengqi Hall, Ling Hu Chong shouted: "Hurry up, who is responsible for lighting the fire today?" Hurry up and light the stove! ”

Liang Fa immediately stepped forward to burn the stove, and after a while, the fire ignited, and the door and windows of the Zhengqi Hall were closed, and everyone eased up for a while.

Linghu Chong leaned against the stove and slowed down for a while, before he pretended to pick up a book and said, "Let's recite the Tao Te Ching in class this morning, and I'll start up." ”

Lu Dayou laughed and said: "Senior brother, the Tao Te Ching is too long, let's still memorize Tang poems, just recite the goose of King Luo Bin." ”

"Go, go, go."

Ling Hu Chong waved his hand impatiently, and said: "You don't come to this set, if you don't memorize the Tao Te Ching well, I will tell the master, and then let the master inspect you, you kid will suffer." ”

Lu Dayou immediately closed his mouth and stopped laughing, Lu Dayou knew that Yue Buqun was extremely strict, but anyone who memorized a wrong word would be punished, he and Ling Hu Chong were not less punished by Yue Buqun when he was a child.

"The Tao is the way, the very way, the name is famous, the name is ....."

As soon as Ling Hu Chong opened his mouth, Lau Denuo suddenly said: "Senior brother, Senior Brother Lin doesn't seem to be in the righteous hall. ”

"Oh?"

Only then did Ling Hu Chong realize that although there were more than twenty male disciples in the Righteous Qi Hall, there was no Lin Pingzhi.

Shi Daizi said: "Maybe it's to go out to practice swords, after all, endorsement can't kill Yu Canghai." ”

Ling Hu Chong nodded: "Well, Senior Brother Lin has a deep hatred of blood, and it is inconvenient for us to take care of it, let Senior Brother Lin go." ”

After Ling Hu Chong finished speaking, he took his juniors and disciples to start reciting the Tao Te Ching.

As the disciples shook their heads and read weakly, the sparks in the furnace were also crackling.

It makes the flame in the furnace more vigorous.

The hall has also become warmer.

But outside the righteous hall, the mountain behind the Jade Girl Peak.

It's still cold, icy and snowy.

The cold wind was still biting.

The gray snow is still falling from the sky.

When I looked up, even the sky seemed to be dyed gray because of the vast snow.

Lin Pingzhi's face and hands were already red from the cold, and they were cracked by the cold. Blood seeped from the wounds on his hands and face, but it immediately solidified on his skin because of the cold weather.

Painful and cold.

Even the sword in Lin Pingzhi's hand had been frozen with a layer of frost.

With each swing of the sword, each stab of the sword, the frost on the sword shattered with a sneering sound, but soon the frost froze again.

The first lunar month is the coldest time between heaven and earth, but Lin Pingzhi always gets up when the sky is not bright and goes back to the mountain to practice swords, isn't he afraid of the cold? Not afraid of hardship?

Of course I'm afraid.

If there is a choice in this world, who would want to suffer from the cold?

But there are many people in this world who have no choice at all, so they can only suffer from the cold and suffer. Only in this way can the sword in their hand be faster and sharper than others.

Lin Pingzhi is such a person who has no choice, so he can only be stronger than others by suffering that others can't endure and suffering sins that others can't bear.

In fact, Lin Pingzhi's martial arts progress can be said to be unprecedented and unprecedented.

After more than half a year of entry, he has changed from a rich young master with low martial arts skills to a disciple of Huashan who is strong enough to stand side by side with Ling Hu Chong. But Ling Hu Chong's current strength is what he has only had after 20 years of martial arts, and Lin Pingzhi only took half a year to catch up with Ling Hu Chong, which is not only with the help of the system, but also inseparable from Lin Pingzhi's hard training.

The system just gave Lin Pingzhi countless opportunities, but whether he could grasp this opportunity or not still depended on Lin Pingzhi himself.

Because it has always been you who can save yourself.

Lin Pingzhi himself couldn't be clearer about this.
