The academy has a back mountain, and there is a cliff behind the mountain.

In addition to Ning Que, the people in the back mountains have been to that cliff, and they have been shocked by the peerless scenery of that cliff, and it is precisely because they are too shocked that they rarely go over, for them, that cliff is not a desperate and dangerous place, but they know very well that going there to see the sea of clouds and waterfalls, and entering the cliff retreat are two different things.

Because the person who was imprisoned in the back cliff on the academy was the little uncle who once shook the world, and now no one is willing to mention it except for the people in the back mountain.

They knew the story of the little junior uncle retreating in the cliff of the back mountain, and they knew what kind of perseverance and heavenly posture they needed to break through from there, so when they heard that Ning Que was going to the back cliff retreat to think about it, everyone's faces showed an incredible look, and it was difficult to accept that the little junior brother was going to face such an ordeal.

There was a dead silence in the grass hut, and the disciples in the back mountain had mixed feelings, obviously not agreeing with the master's punishment of Ning Que, but no one dared to speak, because the master sitting in the chair slowly closed his eyes.

In addition to his tall stature, the master can't see any special place, except for the peach blossoms in Xiling, he doesn't have too many legendary deeds in the world, and even less than the traces left by his junior brother Ah Haoran in the world, but people in the cultivation world have confirmed that he is the biggest legend in the millennium.

As for the people in the grass hut, the Master was a teacher they loved and feared, so they did not understand and could not agree with the Master's punishment of the younger disciple, but they did not know what to do.

At this moment, Chen Pipi rubbed his hands a little nervously, walked to Ning Que's side in the room, bowed very honestly to the master in the chair, and said in a trembling voice: "Teacher, it's too heavy, right?"

Before Ning Que entered, Chen Pipi was the youngest student on the second floor of the academy, and he was the most favored by the master except for the senior brother According to his previous habits, at this time, he was indeed the only one who could stand up and say a few words.

From last spring to today, although Ning Que went to the wasteland and stayed in the back mountain for not too long, all the senior brothers and sisters in the back mountain liked this new junior brother very much.

The seventh senior sister Mu Yu walked behind the master and pinched his back for him, Beigong Weiyang and Ximen Bufu sighed with sad faces and said The precipitous cliff of the back mountain The fifth senior brother and the eighth senior brother thought about talking and interrupted, and everyone used various methods to coax the teacher to be happy, wanting the teacher to retract the decision to punish.

The eleventh senior brother Wang Lin did not step forward to circle around the teacher, he looked at the teacher, and after thinking silently for a long time, he asked very seriously: "There is no thing and no heart, no skin is naturally no hair, no flower is naturally colorless, and there is no punishment for no crime. “

Wang Lin has always been taciturn, he only likes to talk to flowers, and at this time, he actually put forward opinions on the teacher's punishment measures, and it can be imagined that everyone is very worried about the ending of Ning Que being imprisoned in the back cliff.

The second senior brother has always attached the most importance to morality and etiquette, and he has paid great attention to respecting the teacher, but at this time, he glanced at the eleventh junior brother Wang Lin, and did not scold him sharply, but looked at the master in the chair and said slowly: "Teacher, I thought about the rules of the academy before, and the junior brother has not committed a crime worthy of such a heavy punishment. ”

On the side of the bookcase in the corner of the thatched house, the third senior sister Yu Curtain stopped the pen of the answer to the flowers, glanced at the teacher, and then looked at Ning Que thoughtfully, but not clearly.

The people in the mountains behind the academy kept persuading the master and the master to sit quietly in the chair and close his eyes and say nothing, and the senior brother quietly watched the teacher suddenly take two steps forward and took a deep sigh.

At this step, the grass hut suddenly returned to silence, and the disciples in the back mountain were silent, and then retreated to their respective positions, looking at the senior brother nervously and hopefully.

The master slowly opened his eyes, looked at him with some surprise, and said, "Do you have something to say?"

The senior brother straightened up and said seriously: "The teacher's move naturally has a deep meaning, and the disciple can vaguely guess some of it, but the little junior brother has only a short time to get started, although the trip to the wasteland has adventures, and the cultivation realm has increased quite quickly, but where can it be compared with the little uncle back then?"

The second senior brother frowned slightly, and also remembered the story back then, shook his head and said: "Teacher, what the senior brother said is reasonable, in case the junior brother can't figure it out for ten years, what should I do?"

The master looked at the two disciples who had followed him since he was a child, and looked at the children around the grass hut with pleading faces, his two long eyebrows floated slightly, and said: "If you don't understand, you should never come out, I have never believed in chance, but since he has responded to that opportunity, then he needs to solve that opportunity by himself." “

The Master's eyes were calm.

He only glanced at everyone slowly, and everyone felt that Lao An's gaze was always on his body, and there was a majesty that could not be objected to in the calm, and everyone subconsciously lowered their heads, and no longer dared to plead for Ning Que, and the silence in the field was like a dead pool.

Regarding the back cliff of the mountain behind the academy, Ning Que had heard Chen Pipi mention it once before, and he didn't care about it at the time, that is, he heard that the master was going to punish him for entering the back cliff pass, and he was not too shocked, thinking that since it was the day when the retreat always came out, the master might want to use this matter to sharpen his mind and send himself another creation.

However, looking at the reactions of the senior brothers and sisters, even the expressions of the senior brother and the second senior brother were so solemn, he realized that being imprisoned was a very terrible punishment, especially when he finally heard the second senior brother talk about the time period of ten years, the master replied never to come out, and he suddenly felt a chill.

It is said that everything in the human world is cultivation, but practicing in the human world and practicing in a lonely and lonely prison cell are two different things after all, no matter how grand the creation, if he really wants to be imprisoned in the Houyue Majesty for ten years or even for the rest of his life, he will definitely not accept it, and he will not be able to die.

Ning Que lowered his head and thought about the tragic future of being imprisoned for life, his body was as cold as falling into an ice cellar, and he couldn't understand what he had done wrong to accept such a punishment.

However, when he looked up, there was no angry or unwilling look on his face, because he knew that those feelings were useless in the face of the master, and he just asked seriously, "Teacher, what is the meaning of understanding?"

The master said, "If you figure it out, you will understand it." “

To figure it out is to understand that this sentence sounds like nonsense.

Ning Que thought about the scene when he couldn't figure out the snow mountain qi and the sea, and thought about the picture when he first realized the talisman, but he vaguely understood some things and figured out some tricks.

He was silent for a moment and then said, "Then how can I prove that I have figured it out?"

The Master said, "When you want to understand, you will understand."

Ning Que looked at him and said, "The disciple thinks that there must always be a standard.

The master looked at the little apprentice in front of him, looking at the persistence hidden under his calm face, and his eyes suddenly brightened, like dew drops on pine branches, reflecting the early morning light.

"Naturally, there are standards. ”

"Who will determine the standards?

"The standards are already there. ”

"Teacher, but I can't retreat in the back cliff for a long time, Your Majesty still wants to see me, I still have to learn how to manage the array in Chang'an City, and in a few days it will be the 100-day festival of my master Yan Se, I also have to kowtow, why don't I retreat for eight days every ten days?"

Listening to Ning Que's words, the master's eyes became brighter and brighter, and the dewdrops gradually turned into pools of water, and the pools of water were full of clear and unclear smiles, as if they were about to overflow.

Suddenly, the smile in the master's eyes suddenly disappeared, and he looked at Ning Que and said slowly: "Last night on the terrace of Songhe Tower, you once said that you are a kind of person on what kind of post?"

"I'm a loose person in Wollongong. Ning Que muttered.

The master said, "I don't know where Wollongong is, but I know what it means. “

Ning Que understood this, looked up at the white grass hanging from the corner of the eaves of the grass house, and knew that it was absolutely impossible for a person like the master to be angry with his students because of the dispute on the pine crane tower, so why did he lock himself up in the back mountain? It was because of his own ...... Is it the reason for the enchantment?

Uncle Xiao was punished by heaven and died, and his reputation and body were annihilated in the wilderness, and he was no longer heard of, but because of that old incident, Master Fei wanted to lock up his disciple, who inherited Uncle Xiao's heroic spirit, into the back mountain, is this for the reputation of the academy's righteous path, or is it for some other reason?

Thoughts came in a mixed manner, and some of the things that Ning Que had only figured out before suddenly became blurry again, and the mighty qi in his chest and abdomen moved at will, going straight up like a knife, stabbing his throat a little dry, and his voice was slightly hoarse...... It turned out to be an unreasonable person. “

Hearing this, the people in the back mountain of the academy in the thatched hut were shocked, the second senior brother looked displeased, and the senior brother sighed slowly, although the master and the teachers and students get along harmoniously on weekdays, but the teacher is the teacher, under such a strict scene, who dares to question or even criticize like Ning Que at this time?

The master was not angry, and said, "Didn't you say that your teacher was the most unreasonable on the Songhe Tower?"

Ning Que was silent for a moment and then said, "Please allow me to explain some things to the maid at home, and then go to the back cliff." ”

The master said, "No need, you still have to eat on the back cliff, let you bring the little maid here, just ask her to serve you, and take her to the back cliff later." ”

Ning Que only understood at this time why the master wanted to bring Sang Sang to see him together, it turned out that he had already prepared to lock himself up in the back mountain, he suddenly thought of one thing, with Sang Sang's temperament, he was imprisoned in the back cliff, she would definitely not leave alone, in fact, if the two of them were imprisoned together, then if he was locked up in the back cliff for a lifetime, would Sang Sang also be locked up for a lifetime?

As soon as he thought of this, the sharp aura that rushed straight to his chest like a knife rushed straight to his chest, and he could no longer control his feelings, and looked at the master in the chair angrily, clenching his fists.

However, he didn't do anything, he just looked at the master quietly, took a deep breath, forcibly swallowed that breath back, and then said calmly: "Obey the master's orders." ”

The master looked at the youngest disciple in front of him, who was also his last disciple, and watched him quietly for a long time, watching him ponder hard, watching him resign himself to his fate in frustration, watching him become angry, watching him grow in spirit, watching him calm down, watching him return to normal

"Ha-ha-ha-ha!"

The master suddenly raised his head and laughed, and then he got up from the chair, and Yihan was wearing a black robe, and without saying a word to the disciples, he walked out of the grass hut.

Walking out of the thatched house, looking at the golden orchid lining planted by the two people many years ago on the side of the road, and looking at the dense green lining leaves, the old man whispered with some joy and regret: "There are really no two identical leaves in the world, so how can there be two people who are exactly the same?"

(Note: There is a lining in the world of the night called Jinlan lining, and another: this is the first chapter, if you don't eat, the second chapter will try to come out at 8:45.) (To be continued)
