Half an hour later, Dugushu stopped talking, staring blankly at the dark sky, and became silent.

Dugushu continued in a low tone: "When I first arrived here, I was also attracted by the warm spring-like climate, the environment of pine and fir Jiamu, and the tranquility of flowing water, and I was very fascinated by this place. However, at this time, I am a little nostalgic for the outside world. ”

"I miss the bleak autumn breeze in the outside world, the real desolation of the outside world, and the home that is not gentle to me...... However, within ten years, there is no going back. ”

Zhao Gui sighed lightly and said in a dumb voice: "Yes, it's hard to go back." ”

Dugushu stopped talking, just staring at the sky.

Zhao Gui continued to be silent.

The courtyard was very quiet, except for the night wind.

After the tea, Dugushu sat up from the ground suddenly, and said in a tone that jumped a lot: "Oh, you and I look like this time, how can there be the slightest youthful vitality?" It's like a dying old man! Anyway, I'm still alive, and there is hope when I'm alive. Besides, since I have you, the future "Immortal Master", as my backer, I will definitely live a good life in the future, and when the time comes, you must not forget that I am. ”

Zhao Gui immediately got up, looked at his friend who seemed to have recovered, grinned at the corner of his mouth, smiled, and gently patted this person on the shoulder.

The two chatted for a long time, of course, most of the time, it was still Dugushu who said, and Zhao Gui was listening.

The topics they talked about were varied, and the chuckles of the two could occasionally be heard during the period.

It wasn't until the moon was in the middle of the sky that Zhao Gui said his farewell.

When Zhao Gui was about to go out, he suddenly turned around, looked at the lonely book with a slightly lonely figure, and couldn't help but say: "You and I are both bitter, life is bitter, but there is always some warmth, which is worth looking forward to." The years are long, you take care, and when I have the ability, I will help you get out of this place in advance. ”

Dugushu waved his hand freely, and said calmly: "I won't send you tomorrow, you also take care, I remember the promise you made." ”

Zhao Gui waved his hand with his back to Dugushu and turned to leave.

The stars are dim, the moon is clear, and the evening breeze is blowing.

Maybe it was lying on the ground for too long, or maybe it was other reasons, Zhao Gui felt a chill in his heart, and there was always a block in his chest that could not be removed, which made him unable to be happy.

Zhao Guichang exhaled and walked towards his courtyard.

After a while, Zhao Gui looked at the three people standing at his door, his face changed slightly, and his eyes narrowed.

Under the moonlight, the appearance of the three people in front of him was very clear.

The person standing at the front, with a burly figure and a majestic face, was the chief manager Chen Ce.

The two people behind Chen Ce, one was a fair-skinned young man, and the other was a middle-aged fat man with a pockmarked face.

It was these three people, after hearing that Zhao Gui had no background, that drove him unceremoniously to this small courtyard.

Although this matter is not a grudge, Zhao Gui is always a little uncomfortable in his heart.

It was the middle of the night, everything was in trouble, everyone was resting, but these three people took the initiative to come to the door.

However, these three people no longer have the majesty and arrogance they used to have, only humility.

"Senior Brother Zhao, the three of us have been waiting for you for a long time, I don't know if I can go inside?" How could Chen Ce have no sense of majesty on his face? Instead, he asked mildly with a smile.

The two people behind Chen Ce bowed their heads and bowed their waists, only promised.

Zhao Gui hesitated, but finally welcomed the three into the hospital.

After half a pillar of incense, Chen Ce and the three of them left the Zhaogui courtyard with a flattering smile on their faces, and gradually disappeared into the moonlight.

The middle-aged fat man who was far away from Zhao Guiyuan and had a pockmarked face said with a little resentment: "It's really unpleasant to let the three of us be so humble because of a peasant boy with no background. ”

The fair-skinned young man also chimed in: "If this person hadn't passed the spirit test by luck, he would have only been a slave under us." ”

Chen Ce, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, and said lightly: "Once you pass the spirit test, no matter where you come from, you are no different from the immortal master on the mountain, if you really hate you and me, after this person becomes a real immortal master, you and I will not even be able to save our lives in the future, what are you two talking about here?" ”

"Ah...... Senior Brother Chen really has a long-term vision, but the two of us are a little short-sighted," the fair-skinned young man rolled his eyes and hurriedly said with a smile.

The fat man with a pockmarked face also hurriedly said yes.

……

……

Zhao Gui, who was sitting on the wooden bench, didn't know anything about these conversations, he was holding a long strip of crystal sparkling stone in his hand, and his eyes couldn't stop looking.

This spar is not completely transparent, but it gives people a sense of transparency, and the surface flows with a faint crystalline light, exuding a slightly cool atmosphere.

"This is the Spirit Stone?" Zhao Gui muttered to himself.

According to Zhao Gui's knowledge, the spirit stone is a necessary thing for immortal cultivators to absorb spiritual energy, restore spiritual power, drive spiritual objects, etc., although it is extremely precious in the eyes of mortals, but it is actually useless, but in the world of cultivating immortals, it is a currency-like thing, and the more the better.

This low-level spirit stone is exactly the "atonement" of Chen Ce and the three of them, and when Zhao Gui saw this, he accepted it without hesitation.

Zhao Gui played with it for a while, and after putting it away solemnly, he couldn't help but think of the conversation with Chen Ce before.

The "Master in Charge" of this miscellaneous disciple, although he interpreted the four words "front and back" to the extreme, he did not feel cowardly, but made Zhao Gui feel extremely natural.

"What Dugushu said is true, this Chen Ce has been able to manage the miscellaneous disciples here for many years, not just as simple as a slight background, nor is it by no means superficial as superficial bullying and bullying, but he has the means himself."

A thoughtful look appeared on Zhao Gui's face, and he muttered to himself with emotion.

It was the middle of the night, but Zhao Gui didn't feel sleepy, just lying on the wooden bed and was stunned.

Following.

When the clear sunlight sprinkled this sword-like giant peak, three gray clouds the size of a zhang were already slowly falling on the halfway point of the giant peak.

Eleven people who have successfully measured their spirits have shown their bodies after the gray clouds have disappeared.

Zhao Gui looked around and found himself in front of a huge wooden attic.

This attic is divided into three floors, with a height of more than ten zhang, which is natural and antique, and integrates with the surrounding environment.

Behind the attic, there are many blue-gray buildings along the mountain.

As the mountain winds up, the blue-gray buildings gradually disappear into the clouds, and it is impossible to see how many of them, but the buildings are surrounded by emerald colors, the sound of water, and sometimes colorful glow splashes in all directions...... It has a sense of fairyland on earth.

Zhao Gui and the others couldn't help but let out a few exclamations.

"First of all, I will take you to meet Senior Brother Wang Sheng, in the half year that you have not really set foot on the immortal road, you will be taught and managed by Senior Brother Wang Sheng."

The faint voice of the woman in the yellow shirt attracted the thoughts of Zhao Gui and the others.

I only heard this woman continue: "Senior Brother Wang, as my senior brother of Liu Jianmen, whether it is supernatural powers, qualifications, or status, it is not trivial, and it is only half a step away from the next realm. As Senior Brother Wang, he didn't have to do these mundane chores, but Senior Brother Wang was extremely concerned about the future of Liu Jianmen, so he volunteered to teach the new disciples. ”

"Senior Brother Wang is a gentleman, broad-minded, very generous, and patient...... In short, Senior Brother Wang is quite respected by his peers, and when you see Senior Brother Wang, you will understand everything, okay, come with me", a rare hint of respect appeared on the face of the woman in the yellow shirt, and she said lightly.

When Zhao Gui and the others heard this, a look of curiosity appeared on their faces, and they followed behind the woman in yellow shirt and the two men in green clothes with bated breath, and walked towards the attic.
