Chapter 186: Sophistry
"Second Senior Brother, are there any trials in the door? For example, the entrance test or something, or the assessment is carried out every once in a while, and if you don't pass, you will be punished, and if you pass, you will be given a point or something. ”
Early in the morning, You Ziji asked when he saw the second senior brother.
Gu Xuan was surprised when he heard this, but his face remained as usual, "Why does the little junior brother have such thoughts?" Our Xuanming Dao is not one of those ordinary sects, let the disciples compare with each other, and let the fight be like raising Gu. Let's focus on cultivating the minds of our disciples, understanding the source of the Dao, and cultivating is only an external manifestation, not the ultimate goal. Since you have entered the door, it is a recognition of you, and it is too late to teach you wholeheartedly, and what trials can there be. At most, after you have achieved your cultivation, you will be given some tasks in person. ”
After hearing this, You Ziji also felt that it made sense, compared to the disciples of the sect who were always nervous elsewhere, Xuanming Dao was indeed much more relaxed, and even a little excessive. But yesterday's incident really puzzled him, so he only hid the matter of tearing off the mask of the man in black, and told Gu Xuan about the man in black he met in the past two days.
"Little junior brother, I am too worried, our Xuanming Dao Mountain Gate is a blessed land of mountains and rivers, a treasure field where spiritual veins gather, and it is not strange that some elves born from heaven and earth appear. And the elf is innocent and kind, maybe the one you meet has a lively and naughty temperament, so it's better not to see it in general. If there are some losses in the junior brother, I will make up for you. ”
Seeing that Gu Xuan didn't pay attention to this matter, You Ziji was very anxious, so he presented the important evidence and told him the truth, "Second senior brother, look, junior brother is not talking nonsense, that is really not an elf, I fought with him yesterday and ripped off his mask." ”
Gu Xuan looked at the black mask handed over by You Ziji, the corners of his eyes were slightly raised, but his heart cultivation was excellent, and he was also extremely old-fashioned, so he didn't show more emotions, "Senior brother must be dazzled, this doesn't make sense, at present, you are the weakest in the entire Xuanming Dao, how can someone be taken advantage of by you when they fight." ”
You Ziji naturally considered it the same way, so he suspected that it was a trial for the seniors in the sect.
"The second senior brother ......"
"Give me this mask, and I'll help you find out." Gu Xuanzi also knew that this statement could not appease You Ziji, so he said again, "Xu is that elf looks too human, junior brother don't worry, I will let Senior Brother Ji find out about this matter." As for the matter of herbs, don't go out and study them yourself, and when I say hello to the third senior sister, there is just some trouble in her medicine field, and she needs some manpower, so I just go to her and ask for some herbs afterwards. ”
Although You Ziji didn't want to trouble others, since he had the opportunity to save some effort to get the herbs, he didn't reject it.
He originally wanted to investigate by himself with a mask, but now he thinks that it is best for the second senior brother to come forward. So, he handed the mask of the man in black to Gu Xuan, and then buried the matter in his heart. However, when he has the opportunity in the future, he will definitely go to check it in person, after all, he smelled Senior Brother Ji on his mask. Obviously, Senior Brother Ji is not such a boring person, it should be deliberately done by others, so I don't know what entanglements are strange and curious.
……
Gu Xuan sent You Ziji away and did not directly settle accounts with Ji Wenyi, but after dealing with some affairs of Xuan Mingdao, he and Hua Yunying came to Ji Wenyi's place to ask for guilt.
Outside the thatched hut, the two stood in front of the door with serious expressions. Ji Wenyi, who was in the house, woke up suddenly, and after calming down, he walked out as if he had just found out.
"Second Senior Brother, Third Senior Sister, why are you here?"
Ji Wenyi asked with an ignorant expression, although he was tired, his face was still pretending to be calm.
Gu Xuan sneered, "Do you still need me to do what you do yourself?" ”
Ji Wenyi naturally didn't admit it, "Could it be that Senior Brother, I made a mistake without knowing it?" Please also ask the second senior brother to make it clear. ”
Hua Yunying had been told the ins and outs of the matter by Gu Xuan, and at this moment, seeing that Ji Wenyi was still pretending not to know, it was really a little funny, and he couldn't help but tease him: "It seems that Senior Brother Ji still has some self-knowledge, but I don't know what other mistakes you have made that we don't know?" ”
Ji Wenyi's cold sweat immediately flowed down, and he denied: "There is no such thing!" I didn't do anything. ”
Hua Yunying continued to persecute: "Then why did you just say that you made a mistake without knowing it?" You must have done something wrong, so say it in front of your second senior brother, so as not to increase the punishment. ”
"What did you say, junior brother didn't mean that." Seeing that Hua Yunying deducted a trumped-up crime on his head, Ji Wenyi didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, and there was a bit of pleading in his tone, after all, if he really investigated it in detail, the ghost knew what stupid things he had done.
Gu Xuan saw that Ji Wenyi was much more honest, so he went straight to the point, "Little junior brother met a man in black yesterday, do you know?" ”
Ji Wenyi chuckled in his heart, but his face showed surprise, and he continued to pretend to be stupid: "Naturally, I know, isn't that person me?" It was my brothers and sisters who asked me to go. ”
Gu Xuan looked at Ji Wenyi with admiration for the first time, and said: "I haven't seen Senior Brother Ji have such a ability before, he is stable in trouble, and he can not change his face when he lies, it would be good if he changed some small habits." ”
Gu Xuan did not continue the topic, but cast his gaze on Ji Wenyi's palm, which was vigorously tugging at the corner of his clothes at the moment. Ji Wenyi also noticed this immediately, his face finally changed color, his palm loosened, and his mouth was hard.
"The second senior brother is too serious, I grabbed my sleeve because I was nervous."
"If you don't have a ghost in your heart, how can you be nervous?" Gu Xuan raised his hand and threw out a black cloth, "This masked hood is yours?" ”
Ji Wenyi didn't look at it, and said categorically: "It can't be, the mask should be in the hands of the junior brother." ”
Gu Xuan sneered, "You told the truth, take a closer look at this mask, and then explain to us how your dignified Xuan Realm was taken off by someone under the hands of the Foundation Building Realm." ”
After Ji Wenyi pretended to identify it carefully, he said, "It's indeed mine, is it from the junior brother to the second senior brother?" ”
Since he came back yesterday, he has already thought of countermeasures, and if someone asks, he will say that he is testing the strength of the little junior brother, and the mask actually has two layers, and his identity has not been revealed.
So he took out the night clothes that he had prepared a long time ago, and there was a mask on them.
"Senior brother, look, in fact, I didn't reveal my identity yesterday, and the mask was torn off on purpose, the purpose is to give the little junior brother the confidence to continue to entangle with me."
He had the expression of being very smart, waiting for a compliment, and he didn't know if it was really a perfect excuse, or if he really wanted to do so.
Gu Xuanzi would not be deceived by his nonsense, took a deep breath to suppress the anger surging in his heart, and stopped speaking.
Hua Yunying on the side couldn't cry or laugh, "How long have you thought about this reason?" ”
Ji Wenyi will not answer the call and be exposed.
Hua Yunying continued: "You forgot what the second senior brother told you before leaving, the little junior brother has excellent five senses, and specially asked you to go to the fourth junior brother of Chihuo Peak to get a piece of clothing that can shield the breath, so since you left the mask, he has already sniffed out the smell, and he already knows that it is you." ”
Ji Wenyi suddenly realized, clapped his hands, and secretly sighed that he was a hundred secrets. Since the plan was revealed, his attitude immediately changed and he bowed down to admit his mistake.
"Second Senior Brother, Third Senior Sister, I was wrong, you can punish me."
This posture really looks like a daring look, if he hadn't lied and quibbled before.
Gu Xuan said coldly: "This is the mistake you made without knowing it?" ”
Ji Wenyi bowed his head and was speechless, not daring to continue to quibble.
In fact, Gu Xuan was not angry with Ji Wenyi for losing his mask in his heart, You Ziji has such skills, which shows that the senior brother's eyesight is excellent, and there are successors to Xuan Mingdao. It's just that Ji Wenyi's performance is a little collapsed, I didn't expect that he would be so careless in teaching for a few years and not much progress, it seems that he will have to be specially trained in the future.
He no longer showed mercy in his mouth, "If you behave like this now, even if you reach the peak of the Xuan Realm, I am afraid that no uncle will choose you as a disciple, if the reputation is really not good, we Xuanming Dao Sect people can't lose face because of you." Tomorrow will be trained with me, and the little junior brother will be taken care of by others first, so don't be lazy. ”
Ji Wenyi was very thick-skinned and he was not afraid of becoming a joke, but when he heard that he would follow Gu Xuan to cultivate in the future, he immediately hung his head and secretly sighed that hard days were coming in the future.
After solving Ji Wenyi's matter, Gu Xuan became distressed again on the way back, they had prevented their uncle Dongfang Ming from interfering in teaching, and insisted that they help You Ziji consolidate his foundation, but he didn't expect that there would be so many forks in just a few days, and he tossed You Ziji enough to choke, and he hadn't officially started systematic learning.
It stands to reason that Chang Yunbai is handy in teaching wandering Ziji because they have similar personalities. Although Gu Xuan has a serious temperament, he is also compatible with You Ziji, and his teaching experience is not bad, so the result is not due to the fact that he is busy with daily affairs and has no time to help You Ziji create a good environment.
It's a pity that there are many masters of Xuanming Dao, but the elders are greedy for comfort, wantonly pursuing their own pleasures, and at most bringing apprentices to inherit the mantle. Among the disciples who can rely on the senior brother who has something to do, the fourth junior brother and the fifth junior sister still have to take care of the industry, and the sixth junior brother is tossing outside, but it doesn't matter if he doesn't come back, it is a bigger trouble than Qin Shuyun and Ji Wenyi. The Seventh Senior Brother is a good helper, but it's a pity that he hasn't been in the Mochizuki Realm for a long time, and he is still consolidating the realm. Only the third junior sister Hua Yunying has helped a lot, but there are still not enough people.
"Senior sister, after the little junior brother arrived at Tianyu Peak, you have to worry a lot."
Hua Yunying saw that Gu Xuan rarely showed a trace of depression, knowing the concerns in his heart, but he was not worried, because the second senior brother has always been like this, he is a workaholic, the more things he does, the more energetic he is, if there are fewer things, he will be decadent for a long time.
She covered her mouth and chuckled: "This is nothing, it is difficult for Senior Brother to teach Senior Brother Ji." ”
When Gu Xuan heard this, he frowned rarely.
