Chapter 83: Killing Chickens with a Knife
Pushing open the door of the dormitory courtyard, Su Ming was about to go to Gong Xiaocai to satisfy his hunger.
Unexpectedly, I met another neighbor.
"This fellow Daoist, you are polite."
Su Ming saw the monk of Xingluo Island who was standing outside the courtyard of his dormitory last time and wanted to invite him to drink, and arched his hand towards the other party with a smile.
Hearing Su Ming's greeting, this sixth-level Xingluo Island monk paused, his face a little restrained.
"It turned out to be Sue, Su Daoyou,"
In desperation, he had no choice but to arch his hand towards Su Ming, "I don't know what Su Daoyou is looking for?" ”
Su Ming said with a smile: "Under Su Ming, my classmate has been asking for the name of a fellow Taoist for so long. ”
Seeing that he really couldn't hide, the sixth-layer Qi cultivator smiled awkwardly and said, "In Xia Luo Xiao, "
Then he added, "Filial piety."
"It turned out to be Luo Daoyou,"
Su Ming smiled and said, "Last time, Luo Daoyou said that he wanted to invite Su to have a drink, I wonder if I can be free now?" ”
Luo Xiao sighed and said with a wry smile: "Su Daoyou, please speak up if you have something." ”
"That's the case, Su hasn't been to the talisman class for more than a month, and I know that Luo Daoyou will use the Shadow Stone to record Qin's lessons every time, so."
Hearing this, Luo Xiao immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
It turned out to be borrowing a photo stone, After hesitating for a moment, Luo Xiao patted the storage bag, took out a photo stone and handed it to Su Ming.
"Thank you Luo Daoyou, but it's useless,"
As he spoke, Su Ming took out three spirit stones from the storage bag and handed them over, "I will return the Shadow Stone to you as soon as possible."
Luo Xiao glanced at the spirit stone handed over by Su Ming, shook his head and said, "It's just a shadow stone, it's not worth mentioning, Su Daoyou has tormented the little brother." ”
When it comes to this, Su Ming stuffed other people's spirit stones, which seemed a little hypocritical.
He arched his hand towards Luo Xiao and said: "What happened last time was that I didn't do it well, and I hope Luo Daoyou don't mind." ”
Seeing Su Ming take the initiative to mention the misunderstanding last time, Luo Xiao's face suddenly looked a lot better.
In the past three months, he has basically relied on taking the elixir to cultivate.
It is also thanks to Su Ming that since last month, he is no longer so crazy about using the Spirit Gathering Array to extract spiritual energy, otherwise Luo Xiao would have to go to the reporting institute to prepare to change the dormitory.
Seeing that Su Ming took the initiative to apologize, the dissatisfaction with Su Ming in Luo Xiao's heart also disappeared.
After all, the Lanzhou monks are used to peaceful days, and most of their temperaments are mild, unlike the Lizhou monks, who draw their swords against each other when they disagree.
"Last time, I was also rude first, and I hope Su Daoyou won't blame you."
Su Ming was so polite, Luo Xiao naturally wouldn't hold on to the mustard last time, everyone was a monk from Xingluo Island who went to study at Yaoyuan Daoist Academy.
I don't know if the two of them will be able to enter the Xianxia Sect and become fellow disciples in the future.
It's always a bit bad to stiffen the relationship now.
"Where, Luo Daoyou is too polite,"
Su Ming said with a smile, "Let's not know each other, when I still have the shadow stone, I will invite Luo Daoyou to go to the Drunken Immortal Building for a drink." ”
"Okay, that's a deal."
Luo Xiao smiled and nodded.
Saying goodbye to Luo Xiao, Su Ming walked straight towards Gong Xiaocai's courtyard.
The courtyard of Gong Xiaocai's dormitory is No. 17, which is next door to him.
Su Ming quickly walked to the door of Gong Xiaocai's dormitory courtyard.
"Open the door, it's me."
Su Ming's voice sounded directly in Gong Xiaocai's ears.
After a while, the courtyard gate opened with a "creak", and a shadow rushed into Su Ming's arms from inside the door.
It was Gong Xiaocai.
Looking at Gong Xiaocai, who had grown taller, Su Ming couldn't help but touch her head.
Gong Xiaocai opened Su Ming's hand, and said with some dissatisfaction: "People are not children, don't always touch my head." ”
Su Ming smiled and didn't speak.
walked straight into Gong Xiaocai's courtyard, but smelled a burst of burnt smell coming from the courtyard.
"What does this smell like?"
Su Ming frowned.
"Ah, the Dan I refined!"
Gong Xiaocai exclaimed and immediately ran towards the Danfang she had specially opened.
After a stick of incense.
Gong Xiaocai packed up the alchemy furnace full of pill waste residue and made a cup of fragrant tea for Su Ming.
Su Ming said while sipping tea: "How is alchemy recently?" ”
Hear the words.
Gong Xiaocai's delicate body suddenly stiffened, and she said in a concealed tone: "It's okay." ”
"You don't have too much pressure, if alchemy is so easy to learn, will the Xianxia Sect still be so eager for alchemists?"
Hearing Su Ming's comfort, Gong Xiaocai finally boosted his confidence.
"Actually. Wu Jiaoxi said that I have a good talent for alchemy. ”
"That's right, so you have to have more confidence, I will still point to the spirit pill you refined to cultivate in the future."
Hearing this, Gong Xiaocai's pretty face suddenly became serious, "I will definitely be able to do it!" ”
Seeing Gong Xiaocai so serious for the first time, Su Ming shook his head and said with a smile: "Okay, I believe you can do it!" But I've been in retreat for more than a month, and I'm almost hungry for the food you cooked. ”
Hear this.
Gong Xiaocai's face was overjoyed, and she hurriedly stood up: "I'll do it for you." ”
Looking at Gong Xiaocai's hurried back, the smile on Su Ming's face disappeared little by little.
Gong Xiaocai's appearance just now that she wanted to speak and stopped, maybe she didn't pay attention to it, but she couldn't avoid Su Ming's sharp eyes.
Gong Xiaocai has something to hide from him.
"After all, I've grown up."
Su Ming looked at Gong Xiaocai's busy figure in the kitchen, and felt a sense of relief that my family had a girl who had just grown up.
Two days later.
Gong Xiaocai, as usual, went to the alchemy hall of the academy.
Unbeknownst to her, a small paper bird hovered above her head and flew with her towards the alchemy hall.
Gong Xiaocai entered the main hall.
The paper bird puppet flew to a branch not far from the window of the main hall and stopped.
From here, you can see the scene inside the alchemy hall very well.
Through the paper bird puppet, Su Ming clearly felt that after Gong Xiaocai walked into the alchemy hall, his whole body was stiff.
It is the instinctive rejection that arises when faced with an environment that people do not want to face.
What is Gong Xiaocai rejecting and fearing?
Su Ming manipulated the paper bird puppet to stand outside the window, carefully observing.
Soon.
The teacher who was in charge of teaching Gong Xiaocai walked in.
It was a young monk who was dressed in a white robe, and he looked suave.
But when Su Ming saw the other party's face, his complexion changed suddenly.
How is he?
The person responsible for teaching Gong Xiaocai Alchemy is none other than the second son of the Zhang family, Zhang Jingchen.
Su Ming finally knew why when he went to see Gong Xiaocai the day before yesterday, she always had a look of wanting to say something on her face.
Gong Xiaocai must have been targeted by Zhang Jingchen.
Take 10,000 steps back, even if you are not targeted, how can you accept the resentment in your heart in the face of Zhang Jingchen, the second son of the enemy who killed Gong Lao, all day long.
Even so, for such a long time, when Gong Xiaocai saw him, she never complained to him, and all chose to die alone.
Speaking of which, although Gong Xiaocai's temperament is big, he also has the tenacity to not admit defeat in his heart.
"Zhang Jingchen, why did I forget you."
Su Ming said secretly.
Just when he was out of his mind, in the main hall where he was taking a spell class, Qin Zhen's transmission sounded in Su Ming's mind.
"Su Ming, listen carefully."
Seeing that he was caught red-handed by Qin Zhen in his distraction, Su Ming immediately came back to his senses and smiled apologetically at Qin Zhen.
End the day with a spell lesson.
Su Ming was about to get up and leave, but was stopped by Qin Zhen.
When the disciples in the main hall left one by one, Qin Zhen looked at Su Ming and said with some dissatisfaction: "Why didn't you come to class for more than a month?" ”
Knowing Qin Zhen's words, Su Ming was immediately flattered.
In his eyes, Qin Zhen's teaching method is completely laissez-faire.
Whether the disciples of the Taoist Academy learn or not seems to have nothing to do with his teaching, and the other party is here, it seems that he is just to complete the task of the sect.
Although he was puzzled in his heart, in the face of Qin Jiaoxi's concern, Su Ming still replied respectfully: "The disciple has recently created a technique by himself, so he has been in retreat for a while. ”
Hearing this, Qin Zhen nodded.
It's basically the same as he guessed.
Seeing Qin Zhen's appearance, Su Ming couldn't help but be curious in his heart anymore, and said, "Qin Jiaoxi, why are you so concerned about your disciples' learning?" And to the other disciples."
"Isn't that weird?"
Qin Zhen asked rhetorically, "Among your group of disciples, there are only three people who can confidently pass the final assessment and enter the Xianxia Sect.
And you, are one of them. ”
Three out of hundreds of people can confidently enter the Xianxia Sect, this proportion is not low.
Of course, it's just possible to get in, and it's possible that you won't be able to get any of them in the end.
Su Ming immediately understood what Qin Jiaoxi meant, and he didn't bother to teach the other monks who couldn't enter the Xianxia Sect.
Whether the other party learns or not, it has nothing to do with him, but Su Ming is different, in the eyes of Qin Jiaoxi, Su Ming is one of the three disciples who have the opportunity to enter the Xianxia Sect.
It can be said that the hope of his task assessment falls on Su Ming and the three of them.
Don't think that the Xianxia Sect will let the outer disciples go to the various avenue academies to teach, and there will be no index assessment.
In fact, Qin Zhen wanted to get the contribution of the sect, not by how long the teaching time was, but by how many disciples he could finally send to the Xianxia Sect.
Understanding this, Su Ming suddenly understood why Qin Zhen's attitude towards him was different from that towards other disciples.
Feelings, he thought it was the effect of him giving away a hundred spirit stones.
One hundred spirit stones is a lot of "huge money" for a poor Qi cultivation period cultivator, but for a foundation building monk of the Xianxia Sect like Qin Zhen, it is just a dispensable little extraneous extraneous thing.
He didn't look down on Su Ming for the sake of this hundred spirit stones.
"Su Ming, although your spiritual root is ordinary, your talent in talismans is very high, you must also know that the standard for recruiting disciples in my Xianxia Sect is to look at the heart, understanding, and spiritual root, and understanding is placed in front of the spiritual root,"
Qin Zhen looked at Su Ming, "The heart can still be sharpened, but the comprehension is born by a person, and it is difficult to sharpen it the day after tomorrow, don't waste your good talent." ”
Hearing these heartfelt words, Su Ming suddenly had a trace of respect for this Qin Jiaoxi, who didn't care about everything.
He immediately bowed his hand to Qin Jiaoxi and said, "Thank you Qin Jiaoxi for your teachings, the disciple will definitely come to listen to the class on time in the future." ”
"Hmm."
Hearing this, Qin Zhen nodded with satisfaction.
"By the way, another month, it's the Daoist Academy's recess period, as far as I know, you're not a native of Lanzhou, right?"
Su Ming nodded: "The disciple is from Lizhou. ”
Hearing this, Qin Zhen sighed and said: "The demon disaster in Lizhou is in full swing, presumably you can't go back, if you are free, you can come to my cave to find me during this time, and I will teach you alone." ”
Hearing this, Su Ming was really moved this time.
Although he knew that Qin Zhen was for the sect's assessment task, it could not be said that he did not have the slightest vision of being a teacher.
Otherwise, there are so many tasks in the Xianxia Sect, and Qin Zhen doesn't have to choose the task of teaching in the Dao Academy.
He solemnly bowed to Qin Zhen and said, "Thank you Qin for your training." ”
"Go ahead."
Qin Zhen waved his hand.
Bidding farewell to Qin Zhen, Su Ming quickly returned to the courtyard of the dormitory.
Walking to the door of the dormitory courtyard, Su Ming stretched out his hand, and a small paper bird puppet flew into his palm.
It was the paper bird puppet he sent to monitor Zhang Jingchen in the morning.
Su Ming didn't expect that Zhang Jingchen was not only almost designated as an outer disciple of the Xianxia Sect, but also in the alchemy hall, replacing them Wu Jiaoxi as an assistant teacher.
Compared with Qin Zhen, this Wu Jiaoxi, who teaches alchemy, is obviously much more irresponsible.
Not only did the class start a month later than other teachings, but he also often released the disciples who came to learn alchemy, and only found Zhang Jingchen as an assistant teacher for them to teach the disciples alchemy.
At this moment, Su Ming couldn't help but feel a sense of murderous intent towards Zhang Jingchen in his heart.
He knew how Zhang Jingchen treated Gong Xiaocai during the day, because of what the Zhang family did in Qingshuifang City, Shangyang County, Zhang Jingchen was particularly worried about the Zhang family's collusion with the Demon Repair East Window incident.
For this reason, he even did not hesitate to send a family servant to get rid of Gong Xiaocai on Xingluo Island last time.
Even if this is in the Yaoyuan Daoist Academy, Zhang Jingchen will never dare to make a move against Gong Xiaocai openly, but as a teaching assistant who teaches Gong Xiaocai, he has a way to make Gong Xiaocai unable to enter the Xianxia faction.
Facing Zhang Jingchen, the enemy, Gong Xiaocai was able to hold back the hatred in her heart and learn alchemy, which had already made Su Ming look at this little girl who was only thirteen years old.
"It seems that we have to get rid of you as soon as possible."
Su Ming shook his head.
It is definitely not possible to do it directly in the Yaoyuan Daoist Academy or even Tianshu Island.
The Heaven Survey Treasure in the sky is not put in place.
Zhang Jingchen didn't dare to make a move on Gong Xiaocai, and it was precisely because of this Heaven Survey Treasure.
Immediately, Su Ming thought of Qin Zhen's words again.
There is still a month left before the college is off!
Su Ming's eyes lit up slightly.
Unlike Su Ming and Gong Xiaocai, the two loose cultivators, there is still a foundation building family standing behind Zhang Jingchen.
As soon as the rest period of Yaoyuan Daoist Academy arrives, Zhang Jingchen will definitely return to the Zhang family, and at that time, it will be Zhang Jingchen's death.
Although the Zhang family abandoned the ordinary clansmen, the Ju clan fled to Lanzhou.
But as long as the elite monks of the Zhang family are there, it will not be a few decades before a complete family of immortal cultivators can be established in Lanzhou.
In particular, Zhang Jingchen had already booked a place for the disciples of the Xianxia Sect.
With the banner of the disciples of the Xianxia faction, the Zhang family will be more confident in acting in Lanzhou in the future.
This is also the reason why the Zhang family endured the pain and sent the second-order alchemist that he had cultivated with great difficulty into the Xianxia Sect.
If it weren't for this, no immortal cultivator would be willing to send the alchemist they had cultivated at a great cost to the sect, even if this sect was the master of Lanzhou.
"Okay, although some chickens are killed with knives, but let's test the power of my sword fairy puppet with you."
