Chapter 16: Apprenticeship

In the Evergreen Palace, everyone looked at Li Xingzhi, and Li Xingzhi was also confused and looked at Chenbei in the mirror, with his understanding of Chenbei, of course Chenbei could not be an ordinary person who could not practice.

Li Xingzhi looked at Sect Master Mu Qingfeng and asked hesitantly, "Could it be that the Spirit Summoning Bead is wrong?" ”

Everyone present knew that Li Xingzhi brought back a baby from outside eight years ago, and taught it carefully. In particular, his unforgettable ability is impressive, not only that, but Chenbei's understanding of medicine alchemy and Taoist scriptures is even more extraordinary.

Mu Qingfeng looked a little thoughtful and looked at Wei Kongming.

Wei Kongming seemed to be thinking about something, a trace of hesitation flashed on his face, and then he shook his head and said firmly: "The Phantom Spirit Bead can't go wrong. ”

Wei Kongming was puzzled: "It's just that I feel that the Spirit Summoning Bead seems to be emitting light, but it doesn't seem to be ......."

Wei Kongming pondered for a while, and said with puzzlement in his eyes: "Xiaobei is indeed different from ordinary children, at least he is higher than too many people in reading, as for why this?" I can't tell. ”

Fang Xiaoqian said with emotion: "Maybe Xiaobei really doesn't have the potential to cultivate, maybe he just has a high talent in reading and studying......

Li Xingzhi's face didn't look very good, and at this time he suddenly remembered the letter on the seventh night after Chenbei's third birthday.

That night, Li Xingzhi received an anonymous letter. When I opened the envelope, there were a few apricot blossoms and a piece of paper that read, "Don't be nervous, I'm not a villain." I am writing to thank you for having something I want to say to you. His name is Chenbei, right, the name is very good, you must already know why this son was picked up by you. The reason why you were able to see his constitution that day was because I wanted you to see it. The milk of the spirit beast in the past three years was indeed arranged by me, and you don't need to ask who I am, because you can't know. This son is indeed extraordinary, I can't say more, I think you can also understand the meaning of the word 'heavenly machine'. I know very well who you are, which is why I chose to leave this son in your care. I can tell that you care about him, and I am very grateful for that. But his way still has to be walked by himself, and you can guide him to the good and the sun. The reason why I am telling you this is because this son is different from ordinary people, and there will be many things that are difficult for ordinary people to understand, and even I can't tell, so no matter what happens to him in the future, I hope you can always trust him and enlighten him. The content of this letter should not be mentioned to outsiders, otherwise it is very relevant. If I have the opportunity in the future, I would like to have a drink with you in person to show my appreciation! ”

Just as Li Xingzhi finished reading the contents of this letter, the letter paper instantly burned to ashes.

Li Xingzhi naturally knew that the letter must not be simple, but he couldn't believe it, although he also expected that Chenbei was intentionally sent to him, but the content of the letter still made him unable to calm down for a long time.

Li Xingzhi still didn't tell anyone about this matter in the end, and kept it in his heart, but now that he looks at Xiaobei like this, he remembers what the letter said.

Li Xingzhi was very confused, he wanted to know where Chenbei came from, why he didn't show the slightest talent as a cultivator under the Spirit Summoning Bead? Is it true that he can't practice? These questions were churning in his mind, and it was difficult for him to accept the situation for a while.

Changing to others is also the same as Li Xingzhi is general mood, who can stand being regarded as a proud person, suddenly becoming very ordinary, that kind of mood is like eating the most bitter thing, and then you can only suffer it yourself.

Li Xingzhi pondered for a moment, and said: "Senior Brother Song, let Xiaobei come down, don't delay other people's time, you tell Xiaobei to let him go back to Baicao Peak first." ”

When Song Mingyang heard Li Xingzhi say this, he led Chenbei down, his face showed confusion and loss, because Chenbei was a child that they had seen since childhood, and they all had high expectations for him, and now they ......

Song Mingyang sighed helplessly, looked at Chen Bei kindly, and said, "Xiaobei, your master asked you to go back first, and he won't go back until a while." ”

Chenbei nodded and said, "Okay, Old Song." ”

Chenbei left Evergreen Peak as if nothing had happened, and when he left, he reluctantly glanced at the Spirit Summoning Bead.

And inside the Spirit Summoning Bead, there is indeed a beautiful woman like a fairy, only Chen Bei knows, and only he can see it. The reason why the others couldn't see the light that Chen Bei appeared on the Spirit Summoning Bead was because it was a colorless light, and it was no longer as simple as one of the seven colors of light.

The unity of seven colors is colorless. Of course, people do not notice that the sun's light is also colorless, and the sun's light is composed of seven colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue, and purple.

Wei Kongming said that he seemed to see the spirit summoning bead emitting light, because the spirit summoning bead did burst out with a light far more intense than the sun, but no one saw this scene, and he only saw a moment of light that was slightly brighter than the usual daylight, almost nothing, but he didn't confirm it, and he couldn't confirm it, after all, there was no precedent from ancient times to the present.

The reason why the Spirit Summoning Bead didn't burst out with these blazing lights was because all of them were absorbed by the fairy sister in Chenbei's mouth. Therefore, the body of the spirit summoning bead only emits a faint colorless light, just like the sunlight on weekdays, and the sunlight is bright at this time, so it doesn't seem to have any change.

Moreover, these rays of light that appeared on the Spirit Summoning Bead also carried a huge amount of energy, and it was this energy that caused the purple love, which had been sleeping for more than 100,000 years, to wake up from the seal. So when Ziqing saw that it was the child in front of her who woke her up, although she was shocked and puzzled in her heart, she quickly calmed down and just smiled at the little boy. Between the smiles, even time seems to have stopped, and even a child like Chenbei feels that he has seen the fairy sister.

And all of this is unknown to outsiders, and they have no way of knowing, because none of them can see the real situation clearly, even Mu Qingfeng and Wei Kongming, who are cultivators of the Nine Heavens Realm and the Five Heavens, can't know it, even if they have doubts, they can only see the flowers in the fog and can't see their shapes. So how could other people believe the words of a child who doesn't even have the ability to practice, they can only think that this child is a pity.

Meng Yanran looked at Chenbei, who was walking slowly, and asked in a low voice, "Grandpa, is this little brother a fool?" ”

Meng Qiancheng frowned slightly and said, "Yanran, you can't be so rude and speak ill of people behind your back." Perhaps, he is probably an ordinary person who can't practice. ”

Meng Yanran pretended to be an adult and said very sorry: "It's so pitiful, it's a pity that I can't practice, and now I'm still a stupid ......" She quickly covered her mouth again, and looked a little sad and said: "It's so pitiful, it's so unfair!" ”

She spoke as if she wasn't a child, but in fact Tatsubei was only a year older than her.

Then all the rest of the people had already tested it, and in the end, there were three disciples of purple light, five disciples of blue light, six disciples of cyan light, eighteen disciples of green light, and a total of one hundred and eight of the remaining red, orange and yellow lights.

At present, among the seven elders, except for Li Xingzhi, who does not accept apprentices, the other six elders have all come to the martial arts stage in the square.

Song Mingyang smiled and arched his hand to them, and then shouted towards the waiting area: "Yuwen Haotian, Meng Yanran, and Yue Shixin, the three of you come forward. ”

The three of them were called in front of the six elders, these six elders were the Great Elder Wei Kongming, the Second Elder Huo Jiudao, the Fourth Elder Fang Xiaoqian, the Sixth Elder Guo Zhengyang, the Eighth Elder Xie Qianxue, the Ninth Elder Liu Huaisang, and the Tenth Elder Tu San.

Chenbei's master Li Xingzhi is the seventh elder, and the third elder is a mysterious person who has not shown up all year round, and it has been nearly a thousand years, and few people in Qinghua Mountain mention her. As for the Five Elders, because Mu Qingfeng was ranked fifth among the crowd, and now he was the sect master, everyone would not call him the Fifth Elder.

Song Mingyang introduced the three of them: "Standing in front of you are the six inner sect elders of my Qinghua Mountain, and you can now choose one of them as the master to practice in Qinghua Mountain in the future. ”

I saw that as soon as Song Mingyang's voice fell, Guo Zhengyang over there was full of enthusiasm, and smiled at Meng Yanran: "Hey, Xiao Nizi, you will be my apprentice, and you will be better than everyone else!" ”

Liu Huaisang smiled and said, "Senior Brother Guo, it turns out that what you said is what you mean by your own ability!" ”

Meng Yanran Nunu said, "I don't want you, the black bear elder, to be a master!" ”

Elder Black Bear was the nickname that Meng Yanran gave him when she saw Guo Zhengyang for the first time.

Everyone present was instantly silent, and the expressions on everyone's faces were different, and one of the little senior brothers of Qinghua Mountain covered his mouth and couldn't stop his laughter.

The elders next to him also looked at Guo Zhengyang as if they were watching a joke, and Tu San laughed even more, looking a little "caring": "Old Guo, it seems that you have a hot face and a cold ass, and you have won the title of a black bear, yes, it is quite suitable for you!" ”

So he laughed again.

I saw the smile on Guo Zhengyang's face froze on the spot, although he was smiling, he couldn't hide his embarrassment and depression.

It seems that sometimes, rhetoric doesn't work for a little girl.

If the other party is like "Mu Qingfeng", maybe it may be about ......

Meng Qiancheng in the audience was in a hurry at this time, and hurriedly hugged his fists and smiled at Guo Zhengyang on the stage: "Elder Guo, I'm really sorry, the little girl has been spoiled since she was a child, and I hope you don't take it to heart, just think she's an ignorant child!" ”

Guo Zhengyang waved his hand and smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, children, it's supposed to be like this......"

After this, Guo Zhengyang completely no longer had high hopes for Meng Yanran, and moved his eyes to the other two.

Otherwise, is he really an elder who has no "shelf"? Even if she doesn't, her face still knows, the little girl can't hold it all the time, even if she collects it under the door, does she have to be an ancestor to offer? Guo Zhengyang naturally knows this truth.

Wei Kongming smiled at the three of them and said, "If you see which of us is pleasing to the eye, you can choose whoever you like, just like you usually choose something you like." ”

The other elders also smiled and nodded.

"Something!" , The outsiders present were deeply admired by Wei Kongming's words, a powerful and powerful person actually used the word thing to represent themselves, and it was really unattainable that a strong person of their level could still have such a state of mind.

In the end, Meng Yanran chose Tu San, who seemed to be someone who would not choose, which made everyone present drop their jaws, this innocent and cute little girl always brings people a kind of unexpected fun.

Tu San, who always didn't care all day long, never thought that this little girl would choose to be her master. Tu San's face was full of astonishment, his sleepy eyes opened, and a mouthful of wine that had just entered his throat squirted out, as if he hadn't heard clearly, and confirmed: "What? ”

Meng Yanran had no choice but to yell at him loudly: "Do you accept it?!" ”

Tu San's words were obviously said to Guo Zhengyang, and then he laughed, gave a thumbs up and said: "Xiao Nizi has a personality, but she has more vision!" ”

This made Guo Zhengyang on the side extremely envious!

Yuwen Haotian chose Wei Kongming, Wei Kongming looked at him with a look of relief and smiled: "Not bad, not bad, really a good seedling of cultivation." ”

The young man in plain clothes was named Yue Shixin, he did not have any strong background, and he came from an ordinary family, from an ordinary people's home in Liuchun City, Beixiao Kingdom.

Yue Shixin chose Guo Zhengyang, Guo Zhengyang patted him on the shoulder very happily for a while, and asked movingly: "What's your name?" ”

He smiled again and said, "My memory is really bad!" ”

The boy in plain clothes looked a little shy standing on the huge martial arts stage, and replied softly: "Yue Shixin." ”

If it is really "Sai Weng lost his horse and knew that it was not a blessing", Guo Zhengyang was originally sad to cry without tears, but it suddenly disappeared, and the sun was shining!

Guo Zhengyang laughed and said: "Okay, good, good, Shixin, I will be your master in the future, and you have a senior sister, you can see you in a while." ”

Yue Shixin scratched his head with a happy smile, and stood beside Guo Zhengyang very reservedly.

Then Song Mingyang called five more disciples who showed a blue light to come forward, and just like just now, they could all choose their favorite elders as teachers at will, but in addition to the elders who had been selected just now, there were still four elders to choose from.

Ye Jiangtian and Luo Shui chose Xie Qianxue, Hai Xinning chose Liu Huaisang, the little son of the Divine General's Mansion of the Northern Yan Kingdom chose Fang Xiaoqian, and the girl from the Nanyu Kingdom chose Huo Jiudao.

Just as Guo Zhengyang has another disciple in addition to Yue Shixin, a young disciple who has just been admitted to the sect, so do the other elders, who also have other disciples. In addition to Tu San, the first apprentice he currently accepts is Meng Yanran.

The other disciples of these elders were also geniuses, all of them were strong in cultivation, and the lowest was already in the Extreme Breaking Realm.

Immediately after that, the spiritual light flew up on many mountain peaks in the distance, and more than a dozen streamers flew like divine swords, bowed down and stood on the martial arts stage, and said in unison: "Disciples, see master and uncles." ”

Wei Kongming smiled: "You came just in time, and these children were handed over to you to teach. ”

The "these children" in Wei Kongming's mouth were none other than the six cyan light and eighteen green light disciples.

I saw that these people all had extraordinary temperaments, some of them were masculine, and they were in the wind, and the women were in their prime, and the fairy beauty was not powdered. Although they are all young, their strength and talent are second to none, and it is not inconsistent with them to teach these children who have just "entered the mountain", and there is a great "exquisiteness" in this.

It is not easy to practice the whole way, and the most difficult thing is your own state of mind. However, there are often many things that disturb the state of mind, such as the "desire to win and lose", two people who have a great difference in their foundation put them together, and the one with higher talent often shows a "different" path of cultivation. That is, the one who has worked hard or even harder, but is a little worse than the other foundation, and is always left behind the fellow who seems to practice a little "casually", and is not only a little behind.

And this is only one of the reasons, for "these" disciples who have just entered the mountain, there is no better teacher than they themselves have just experienced the path that "they" are about to walk. Not only that, these young teachers will be more patient, and the "truth" will be simpler, which will just make up for the lack of their "heavenly" foundation.

After a while, these people also found their respective masters, and the remaining one hundred and eight were all taken under the disciples by those outer elders. At this point, Qinghua Mountain's disciple selection meeting every fifty years came to an end.

In the end, these new disciples who were going to practice on Qinghua Mountain also said goodbye to their relatives and friends.

Meng Yanran waved at her grandfather Meng Qiancheng with a happy face: "Grandpa, go back quickly, otherwise Xiaohua will be hungry, and there will be no one to play with it, it will be sad!" ”

Meng Qiancheng sighed in his heart: "Yanran is still spoiled, can't she cry and shout like other children and say that she misses me or something?" It's all at this time, and the grandfather who loves her so much doesn't cherish it in front of him, but he still thinks about the stupid Tianyi Tiger at home! I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

Meng Qiancheng smiled again in his heart: "But what can I do then, such a big-hearted baby granddaughter is really just like her mother, she is a stupid child." ”

Meng Qiancheng showed a loving and reluctant expression and instructed: "Yanran, grandpa will not be by your side in the future, you can't give people nicknames like before!" It's rude, you know? Don't mess with the temper of the eldest lady at will, Qinghua Mountain is not as good as Tiannan Mountain, you must abide by the rules, be sensible, and be a well-behaved and cute little girl. ”

Meng Yanran nodded seriously and urged: "I know, grandpa, you go quickly, I don't want you to see the crying scene where I am reluctant to part with you, and no one will be able to coax me at that time!" Then I wouldn't be cute in your impression. ”

Meng Qiancheng laughed and said, "Okay, good, good, my little Yanran has grown up!" ”

......

A moment later, the sunset was already in the western mountains, and the red glow in the sky made this parting very warm.

A beautiful little girl still had tears in the corners of her eyes and said reluctantly: "Brother, you must go home when you have time, Daddy and Auntie and I will miss you!" ”

The young man held the girl's hand tightly and said reluctantly: "Xiaolan, Brother will miss you too, I will definitely go back to see you!" ”

The boy took off the necklace he wore around his neck, and a small green stone was tied to a red silk rope, and said with a smile: "When you see it later, it will be like seeing me." ”

After that, the boy looked at his father, who already had silver roots, and his father also looked at him, and both father and son were silent, only the reluctance in their eyes and hearts.

Yue Shixin, his father and his sister came to Qinghua Mountain, the highest place of cultivation in the world, hundreds of thousands of miles, just because he watched the unforgettable dance in his life in the Xinghua Building and listened to the ancient past told by the storyteller, and then when he got home, he told his father his firm intention to go to Qinghua Mountain to cultivate. Yueshixin's aunt resolutely disagreed at first, but his father was silent for a while, and then went out without saying a word for ten days and did not come back.

It wasn't until his father came back with two maps and a small cloth bag of red spirit beads that he said: "Since you have made up your mind, I will support you even if I do my best, but you have to fight!" If we know that we are not the material for cultivation, then we will come back and be a diligent ordinary person. I have already asked someone to inquire, and in eight years, Qinghua Mountain will hold a disciple selection meeting facing the world, and the distance is far away, so we will go two years in advance. ”

Yue Shixin watched his father take his sister's hand and walk away from him step by step, they in the sunset made him feel as if he was still chopping wood in that small yard, and heard his sister's voice like a silver bell: "Brother, look! ”

Suddenly ran from behind and shouted: "Brother! ”

There is also the one that often rings in the ears: "Brother, let's go to Nancheng to listen to books." ”

......

But once a mortal steps into the path of cultivation, he is not a family, ordinary people are 100 years old and it is difficult to live, while monks are 100 years old.

In the 100 days of enlightenment, the world has passed the years, and I don't know the reunion day, and there is very little in the world to say!
