"A drop of vermilion hangs in the green shade, suspected to be the girl's lips."

Qingqing repeated lightly, of course this sentence is extremely beautiful.

Zhao Rang didn't feel anything, he only felt that this peanut was extremely peculiar, and it was something he hadn't seen before.

After a few more glances, he retracted his thoughts, stared at the little junior sister's face, and asked:

"What do you mean by sending flowers?"

The little junior sister was a little overwhelmed by Zhao Rang's serious gaze, and for a while, the words were stuck in her throat, and she couldn't say anything.

Seeing this, Qingqing hurriedly grabbed the little junior sister's arm and invited her into the house to sit.

"You're not busy right now, are you? I just made tea! ”

The little junior sister thought about it, shook her head at Qingqing, and then took a step, and the two walked into the room side by side, leaving Zhao alone behind, looking at the backs of the two and shaking her head, helplessly following.

Of the four futons in the house, only one is now empty.

Three cups of hot tea, the tea is curling, steaming and tumbling, just like the voices of the three people.

The little junior sister took a sip and immediately praised:

"Sister, the tea you brewed is so delicious! It's better than many brothers and sisters who specialize in tea ceremony! ”

No one doesn't love compliments.

Qingqing is no exception.

Zhao Rang saw that when the little junior sister said this, a shallow dimple appeared on Qingqing's face.

Only when she is happy from the bottom of her heart, the smile that stands on her face will appear to outline a shallow dimple.

People who know this are not, Zhao Rang happens to be one, but he can't remember when he last saw Qingqing smiling and showing his dimples, and how long it has been since now.

"Drink more!"

The little junior sister nodded heavily, blew the hot air on the tea soup noodles, and took a big sip with her neck up.

After a few sips of hot tea, the little sister gradually relaxed.

"What did you just ask the little junior sister? It seems like I've been interrupted. ”

Qingqing threw the topic to Zhao Rang at the right time.

Such a harmonious ability is naturally exercised in the Ivy Garden.

Zhao Rang answered, took over the conversation without a trace, and asked again:

"Just now you said that you are the flower giver on duty today, what does this flower giver mean?"

The little junior sister still had some doubts about Zhao Rang, and when she heard him ask herself, she quickly put down the teacup, sat upright, and replied with a straight look:

"The flower giver is responsible for sending flowers to the sisters and sisters who live in this area, once in the morning and once in the evening. Three days is one duty, and today is the second day of my duty. ”

Zhao Rang was noncommittal to this answer.

He thought that the flower girl had some deeper meaning, but he didn't expect it to be literal.

"Why send flowers? You cultivators, looking at these flowers and plants all day long, are you not afraid of disturbing your mind? ”

Zhao Rang then asked.

The little junior sister smiled and said:

"I'm afraid what you're talking about is a monk's set. The most fundamental practice of our Taoism is the harmonious coexistence of man and nature. In particular, the disciples of Kun Dao should perceive the changes in natural life from the flowers and plants, branches and leaves, and transform them into a part of their own cultivation. ”

After that, the little junior sister felt that she didn't speak hard enough, so she added:

"This is a very important lesson!"

"Then the flowers sent each time are ordered by the flower giver, or by your teacher?"

The little junior sister said embarrassedly:

"It was the decision of the flower giver...... Every time you are on duty, it is actually a test. To test this disciple's understanding of nature and human nature. Only by choosing the flower that is most suitable for it can you be regarded as a successful learner. ”

Zhao Rang felt interesting and was about to ask a few more questions, but when he saw the little junior sister's expression, he immediately fell lonely, and said:

"It's a pity that I was born stupid...... Those who went up the mountain at the same time as me have already finished this lesson, and I am still on duty. The new junior sisters all call me the senior sister on duty, it's really embarrassing......"

Qingqing comforted:

"The flowers you sent today won the hearts of both of us! Go back and tell your division commander that he and I are very satisfied! ”

With Qingqing's encouragement, the little junior sister's face improved a lot, and she talked more.

"Originally, after sending the flowers, I had to choose tomorrow's morning flowers with the three little sisters I brought, but just now the senior sister suddenly found me and said that I don't need it tonight, and I can rest directly after sending it, so I have more free time."

"Three junior sisters?"

Zhao Rang asked alertly.

Little Sister says:

"Yes, although I am a little junior sister...... But I am already a senior sister in their eyes, and there are three disciples who have not been on the mountain for a long time, and they are following me to learn how to be a flower girl on duty. ”

Zhao Rangchai asked:

"Is it the rule of the sect to meet them after giving flowers every day?"

The little junior sister nodded and replied:

"It's the rules, the kind that can't be shaken. But when my sister came to inform me, I guess it was the teacher's decision, so I don't know. ”

After the little sister finished speaking, she drank the last sip of tea in the teacup and prepared to get up and leave.

When he walked to the door, Zhao Rang suddenly reached out and grabbed her arm, which startled the little junior sister, and couldn't help but set her eyes on Qingqing.

"Take me to the place of your three junior sisters."

"This ...... This...... Or...... Why don't you find my senior sister, I'll ......"

Zhao Rang took out the piece of cloth from his arms, sandwiched it in the palm of his hand, shook it in front of her, and said:

"See, this is something that your uncle gave me, and he asked me to do him a favor. When you take me there, you are doing me a favor, and changing direction means that you have also helped my uncle. ”

Zhao Rang made a lot of twists and turns, and the little junior sister said in the clouds, and his brain couldn't stop and think about the logic carefully.

And she did know that Zhao Rang had been to the Nine Heavens Lu Zu Hall and had seen his uncle's ancestor. As an ordinary disciple of Baihe Mountain, he didn't question the courage and courage of his uncle at all, coupled with Zhao Rang's troubles, the little junior sister agreed to it.

"Okay."

"Then you must follow me, it's getting dark in the mountains, and it will be dangerous for unfamiliar people to walk at night!"

Out of the small courtyard, Zhao Rang knew that this place was the mountain of Kundao, that is to say, all the people who lived here were female disciples of Baihe Mountain.

"Why did you throw me a woman in the pile......"

Zhao Rang muttered, which happened to be heard by Qingqing.

"Isn't it good? Didn't you go to Ivy Garden for this? ”

Zhao Rang's face was a little unbearable, and he said strongly:

"That's all Simon Dazhuang's doing, what does it have to do with me!"

Qingqing snorted contemptuously.

Who knows all kinds of things better than her?

Seeing her like this, Zhao Rang was also angry.

I thought that I had never been out of line with her, and I really treated her as a friend. If other girls are a little reluctant to say that they are still a little reluctant, they are very frank to you. On the contrary, in the current situation, Zhao Rang couldn't help but think about it too much, and felt that Qingqing and their gang of people in the Investigation Division must have rolled out the chessboard early and played themselves and others as fools.

From this point of view, Zhao Rang and Qingqing may never be friends.

Trust in each other is only temporary, and it is firmly linked to interests.

Zhao Rang used to like a word called "just talk about things", but now he doesn't like it anymore. Because the situation in which the word can be used, happened to him. And when he knew that this moment had happened, he realized that he was not as generous as he imagined.

The place where the little sister took them was not far away.

At this time, after dinner, before the morning class, many girls gathered together in twos and threes, holding scriptures and books, and talking about their private affairs. Echoing with the birds returning to their nests in the bushes, just a noise, a quiet.

But whether it was a bird or a girl, when they saw Zhao Rang, they all quieted down without exception.

Because no man has ever been in this place.

The reason why Zhao Rang was able to come was because he and Qingqing were "husband and wife".

After these surprised eyes stayed on Zhao Rang's body enough, they would turn to Qingqing, and finally look at the face of the little junior sister.

She was the only person these girls knew, and everyone wanted an accurate explanation, or an answer, from her.

The little junior sister didn't know what to say, so she could only lower her head and speed up her steps.

It's still green!

She went from being side by side with the little junior sister to being a few steps behind, to being side by side with Zhao Rang, and then reaching out to hold Zhao Rang's arm, and then moving her body slightly closer, which was intimate and generous.

In this way, the identities of the two are about to come out!

The doubtful girls dispersed one after another, and returned to their previous state.

As a Taoist sect, Baiheshan has the momentum of the leader of the Taoist sect, so there are countless believers who come up to the mountain to worship and donate, but they are not as young and radiant as Zhao Rang and Qingqing.

"It's up ahead, they should ...... Hey? Why are there so many people?! ”

The little junior sister pointed to the front right.

Zhao Rangxun looked and saw that the courtyard she was referring to had been solidly enclosed, and three zhang away from the courtyard gate, there were many sword disciples standing, with serious faces, looking like no one should enter.

"Who are these?"

Zhao Rang asked.

He knew what was going on, so he wasn't surprised by such a battle. On the contrary, it was these sword disciples who aroused his interest.

Because these disciples are of different ages, some are middle-aged, while others are still childish.

"Do you mean these sword-wielding brothers?"

"They are all the mountain guards of Baihe Mountain, led by the head of the sect and the elders."

"Why is there such a difference in age? As far as the one in front of him is, if he has a child, he is probably about the same age as you! ”

Zhao Rang continued.

The little sister explained:

"The mountain guards are not all disciples in the mountains, but there are also people from the rivers and lakes who came from the mountains. However, in general, it is still mainly composed of mountain disciples, and some senior brothers feel that their comprehension is too poor and their Dao heart is insufficient, so they will take the initiative to join the mountain guard to practice martial arts first, so as to temper the Dao heart, and then wait for the opportunity to come, and then start to re-cultivate the Dao method. ”

Speaking of this, the little junior sister paused and said in a very reverent tone:

"Cultivation is the same as eating and drinking, it is a lifelong thing. No one can eat in one bite, and no one can eat all the time! ”

In his heart, these senior brothers may be talented and dull, but they have great perseverance far beyond others! For the Tao in your heart, perseverance, as long as you are always closer, even if you are decades slower than others, it is a good thing in the world!

"Hmm...... Admirable indeed! ”

Zhao Rang said, then raised his legs and continued to walk forward.

The little junior sister couldn't stop it, and the middle-aged mountain guard immediately put his sword in his chest and issued a warning to Zhao Rang.

Zhao Rang saw that he didn't even have a sword out of the sheath, and he didn't care at all. took a step sideways, and was about to continue walking, when suddenly a cold light flashed.

"The acting master is doing something, please stay!"

Zhao Rang did not wear a Taoist robe, and he still carried a black steel knife at his waist.

This mountain guard was originally a person from the rivers and lakes, and a cursory look at Zhao Rang's clothes knew that he must be a child of the family.

If it was placed in the past, he would not dare to compete with the children of the family for a dogweed-like rootless martial artist.

But time has passed, he has become a mountain guard under the gate of Baihe Mountain, and his vision and heart have also risen, of course, he is no longer afraid of these so-called children of the family. Out of duty, he drew his sword to Zhao Rang and blocked him from the courtyard gate, and at the same time glanced vaguely at the courtyard to see if the acting master had noticed the situation on his side.

"I don't embarrass you, as long as you help me hand this over to your substitute teacher, he will naturally come out to pick me up."

The middle-aged mountain guard listened very carefully, and after listening, he repeated it in his heart to make sure that there was no mishearing or omission. Especially Zhao Rang's sentence "He will naturally come out to pick me up." Instead of "he's going to let me in, he's going to let me in."

The martial artists in the rivers and lakes who are not high or low, and who do not have their backs against the big trees, are the best at looking at people's eyebrows and low eyes, being obedient and listening, coming out to pick up, and letting people in, but there is a world of difference.

Looking at Zhao Rang at this moment, the middle-aged mountain guard has lost the recklessness just now. After bowing to him, he politely took the piece of cloth, turned around and entered the courtyard, and trotted all the way.

After a while, I saw a stream of people coming out of the house, and the yard was crowded. A group of elders gathered around the Acting Sect and walked briskly outside the courtyard.

"Zhao Gongzi?"

The Acting Sect Leader was a thin middle-aged man, unlike the immortal wind elders behind him, his beard was extremely clean, and his Dao robe was also very clean and neat. At first glance, he doesn't look like a Taoist priest at all, but like a teacher in the academy!

In fact, Zhao Rang saw it well.

Several of Bai Hezi's juniors and disciples are either proud of their talents, or they don't learn and have no skills, only this one reads hard all day long, and eats all the Taoist classics thoroughly. There was a time when someone from the south came to provoke him, not asking about the content, but he asked about the number of words in Daozang, but he didn't expect him to still be able to answer like a stream, and since then he has firmly sat on the throne of Baiheshan Daozang until today.

But there must be pros and cons in everything, and if you are good at the classics, you will be negligent in spells and human feelings.

Therefore, even if he studied perfectly, he would not be able to carry Baihe Mountain after all. At the moment, there is really no other way, in terms of seniority, who else is he? This will be what Shi Shuzu said to Zhao Rang, "Don't ask me about anything, there is no like him!" ”

As soon as he saw Zhao Rang, the eagerness in the eyes of this acting head was not fake. That posture simply regarded him as a rescuer sent by his uncle and ancestor, and he could immediately investigate the falsehood, break through the confusion, give justice to the disciples in the circle, and give an explanation to the next one on Baihe Mountain.
