"The life of man is also endowed with the vitality of heaven and earth, which is the form of God, and the breath of the element is the essence of liquid. If the weather is reduced, the gods will be scattered, the earth will be consumed, the form will be sick, and the vitality will be reduced, and the life will be exhausted. ”

At dusk, in a small courtyard close to the top of the mountain in the group of peaks of Shushan Geli, the sound of reading came out.

Luo Bei, who was wearing a blue cloth shirt, was reading seriously in front of an oil lamp on the table.

"Senior Brother Luobei is so serious. ”

Suddenly, Luo Bei's ears heard such a voice. "Senior Brother Luobei, can you disturb me?" the sound of scattered footsteps stopped at the door outside the courtyard.

"What person?" Although it has been three days since he arrived in Shushan, during these three days, Xiao Xiao, that is, the middle-aged scribe dressed as the two who took Luobei to see Yu Ruochen and Yan Jingxie that day, taught him to read and write here. Luo Bei basically didn't know anything about Shushan, and he had never seen anyone else, so Luo Bei didn't know who was visiting at the moment.

Luo Bei, who was a little stunned, opened the door of the empty courtyard, but now standing at the door were two teenagers who were wearing the same green shirts as him and were about the same age.

The one on the left looked handsome and tall, half a head taller than Luo Bei. A young man on the right has a beautiful black head, tied behind his head with a silk cloth, and has a bright smile, looking very handsome. "Senior Brother Luobei. Seeing Luo Bei, who was standing in front of them and was slightly stunned, this handsome young man nodded heartily at himself and the tall boy beside him, and introduced himself: "My name is Zigu Xuan, his name is Ling Dongshan, and we are all disciples of Ge Lifeng, just like you." We all started a few days earlier than you, I wonder if we can brazenly call you junior brother?"

"It's... Of course. Hearing Zigu Xuan say that, Luo Bei nodded immediately, but he was still at a loss in the face of the guest, and he didn't know what politeness was, so he stood at the door after answering, a little wooden, and didn't know what to say for a while.

"Since that's the case, then we'll brazenly call you Senior Brother Luobei. Zigu Xuan smiled and asked, "Senior Brother Luobei, have you had dinner?"

"Nope. ”

"Since there isn't, that's just right. We haven't eaten yet, Dongshan just has some food, can you invite us to go in and have something to eat together, and we just happen to know each other, close and close. ”

"Okay. Only then did Luo Bei notice that Ling Dongshan was carrying a basket covered with a blue cloth in his hand. Originally, Luobei's food in the past three days was sent by Lin Hang, the lame and stuttering boy, and Lin Hang would also send it over after a while, but seeing that Zigu Xuan and Ling Dongshan were so enthusiastic, Luo Bei, who didn't know how to be polite and sophisticated, hesitated a little and still felt that it was not good to shirk, and invited the two into the room.

What Ling Dongshan took out from the basket was a pot of salted peanuts, a few roasted rabbit legs, a pot of preserved fish, a few side dishes, and some purple wild fruits that Luobei had never seen.

"I don't know where Lao Zhaonan is now, and what is he doing?" Seeing some burnt yellow preserved fish, Luobei can be said to be a person who sees things and thinks about people, and not only thinks of Lao Zhaonan, who is on the nameless peak of Luofu and makes good bacon.

"Senior Brother Luobei, don't be polite, we all have to read and chant during the day, and we don't have much time to prepare, these are all small dishes that are handy in the room, but this fruit is only available in Shushan, just picked, and fresh, you just came to Shushan, you may not have eaten it, you might as well eat more." ”

"Yes. Luo Bei put away his thoughts, took the bowl of rice handed over by Ling Dongshan, took a piece of preserved fish with chopsticks, and chewed it carefully, "Senior Brother Ziguxuan, where do you and Senior Brother Ling Dongshan live?

"Not far, just on the opposite side of Tianyu Peak, it will only take an hour or two to go back and forth if you go faster. Zi Gu Xuan nodded out the window, "It's dark right now, and there are clouds and fog that we can't see, otherwise we can see where we live." ”

"How long have you been in Shushan, and why do you all live together?"

"Our group only entered Shushan last month, only a month before you. Zi Xuangu smiled, and a hint of imperceptible strangeness flashed in his eyes, "The new disciples of Ge Liqun Peak are all living in Tianyu Peak, but Senior Brother Luobei is extremely qualified, so he has such treatment." ”

"New disciple, only I am treated like this?"

"yes. The rest of the disciples are all six people in one room. Moreover, Uncle Xiao Xiao personally taught you to read and write, not to mention in Ge Lifeng, it is something that has never happened in the entire Shu Mountain. ”

“......。 ”

Luo Bei ate slowly, talking with Zixuan Gu and Ling Dongshan, and his heart was also slowly full of flavors.

Although Zi Xuangu and Ling Dongshan only entered Shushan a month earlier than Luobei, the two of them were obviously familiar with some things in Shushan. After the two of them talked, Luo Bei slowly learned that there were thousands of disciples in Shushan, and the name of the sect was Tian Xiyue, but he started retreat ten years ago, and now the temporary leader is Yu Ruochen, who Luo Bei has already seen. And now the entire Shu Mountain is divided into three veins: Geli Peak, Tianzhu Peak, and Shocking Peak, which are respectively under the control of Yan Jingxi, Zong Leying, and Bing Zhuyun.

These three veins will have someone outside to select suitable disciples to bring back to Shushan. In addition to Luofu and Eile, Shushan is the world's Xuanmen authentic, recognized as the first major sect second only to Kunlun, under the thousand-year-old inheritance, Shushan passed on the scriptures, and took not a brave and radical road, but not impatient, step by step.

After the disciples selected for the three veins entered Shushan, they first read and read and wrote, and knew a lot of truths first, such as the Qi cultivation chapter that Luo Beibei only reads, which is to let people know how people can be full of energy and how to get sick. Shushan does this, it is to understand the reason first, and then cultivate the Tao, which is a bit not only to let people know how to cultivate, but also to let people know why they cultivate this way and how to do it will be harmful.

It's just that in the vein of Ge Liqunfeng, even the disciples who are backward are all living in Tianyu Peak, and they are slowly reading and learning characters, and there has never been such a thing as Luobei, which is specially taught by Xiao Xiao, a contemporary second-generation disciple of Shushan, to catch up with the progress. Needless to say, you can already know how much Ge Li values Luobei in this vein.

Now Zi Xuan Gu and Ling Dongshan still can't figure out why they are divided into three, and they can't figure out what the difference is between the three, the two of them just heard that the disciples of Ge Liqun Peak have the most opportunities to go out to practice, although they have this opportunity to enter the Shu Mountain cultivation path that mortals admire, the young man's temperament, but he still can't help but be secretly happy in his heart because of this. But in fact, when the two of them thought so, they didn't think of another point: the outer gate of Shushan and the general sect, The inner door is the same, there are also introductory disciples and introductory disciples, if they can't pass the trial, they are always ordinary introductory disciples, like the current Zi Xuangu and Ling Dongshan and others, shouting Xiao Xiao These people are all called uncles, only through the trial, can become one of the in-house disciples, will get the master to pass on the powerful tricks, otherwise, if you want to travel the world with sword light as imagined, the chance is simply slim.

"How did you two end up in Shushan?" Luo Bei asked again.

"I am a native of Luoyang, Zhongzhou, and I happened to be favored by Uncle Ao Huang, who was trained there, so I took it back to Shushan. Ling Dongshan said. That Zi Xuan Gu said: "My father is the master of the Purple Cloud Gate, and he recognized Uncle Xiao Xiao, so he recommended me to Shu Mountain. ”

"Purple Cloud Gate?"

"Five hundred miles away from here, it is the outer gate of Shushan. A smug look flashed in Zi Xuan Gu's eyes.

Although the Purple Cloud Gate is too humble compared to Shu Mountain, Zixuan Valley has a foundation in cultivation, plus his father has some friendship with Xiao Xiao and others, compared with other disciples, his background is much better.

"I heard Senior Brother Yu Zhe say that after Uncle Xiao Xiao taught you almost the lesson, you will also practice with us, and then we will have more opportunities to get close. ”

"Senior Brother Luobei, now the whole Shushan knows that we have a highly qualified disciple like you....It is said that your qualifications are the first person in Shushan for decades, and your future achievements will definitely be limitless. ”

"Yes, if there is anything you don't understand now, what do you want to help with, just ask us. Maybe in the future, if we don't understand the practice, we'll have to ask you. ”

“...。 ”

Ling Dongshan and Zi Xuan Gu were talking, and Zi Xuan Gu suddenly took out more than a dozen cyan talismans and handed them to Luo Bei.

"What is this?" Luo Bei asked, looking at the dozen or so cyan talismans handed over by Zi Xuan Valley.

"This is the magic talisman that my father refined, as long as it is attached to the foot, the walking degree is several times that of usual within two hours, with this divine talisman, you can usually go to the opposite Tianyu Peak to find us." By the way, Uncle Xiao Xiao didn't explain that you should not leave this place, right?"

"Not really... ”

Luo Bei looked at the dozen or so Shenxing talismans handed over by Zi Xuangu, and he didn't know whether to accept them or not for a while. "Senior Brother Luobei. At this moment, there was a stammering sound at the door, but it was Lin Hang, who helped Luobei deliver food, arrived.

"You....you....eat. ”

Seeing that Ling Dongshan and Zixuan Valley were there, and the three of them were eating, Lin Hang, who was carrying the basket, obviously wanted to ask Luobei if the food he sent was not needed by Luobei, or was it still here. But Lin Hang originally stammered, but he didn't expect Ling Dongshan and Zi Xuangu to be there, and the sudden increase in these two people seemed to make him a little nervous, but he couldn't say it for a while.

"Eat... What to eat. A look of disdain suddenly appeared on Zi Xuan Gu Junya's face, "Don't you see that we're already eating?"

"No... I... I.... ”

"Don't me, I'm mine, I can't say a word clearly, no wonder I'm looked down upon everywhere. Zi Xuangu snorted disdainfully.

"Forget it, don't say it, you can go. Ling Dongshan also waved his hand to Lin Hang, and said to Luo Bei: "Leave him alone, it is said that he has been in Shushan for two years, and he is not as good as a disciple who has been in the field for three months." Judging by his cultivation, it is impossible for him to become a disciple. ”

Although Ling Dongshan's voice was not high, this room was not big, but Lin Hang obviously heard it, he couldn't help but lower his head, and the whole person looked even more humble and thin.
