After Chu Zhao separated from his junior brothers and sisters, he returned directly to his residence.

There are few adults in Qingshan Guanguan, and everyone has an independent courtyard residence. Chu Zhao is a senior brother and the first disciple of Qingshan Guan, but the place where he lives is a remote corner of the Guannei.

Chu Zhao's residence was remote and quiet, the courtyard wall was crawling with green vines, and when he opened the courtyard door, the small courtyard that was not spacious was cleaned very cleanly, and it was obvious that people often came to clean up the yard for him.

Glancing at the courtyard, Chu Zhao sighed, he knew that it must be the third junior sister who often came to clean him, and his heart was warm and at the same time a little guilty.

Chu Zhao entered the room, the room was spotless like a courtyard, and a few bright flowers and plants were placed on the windowsill, exuding a refreshing fragrance.

The furniture in the room is very simple, the only thing that attracts attention is that there are three large bookshelves in the study, and the shelves are full of books, and there are nearly a thousand books in a rough sweep.

It is not for Chu Zhao to pretend to be knowledgeable with so many books, although the books on the bookshelf cannot be said to be memorized, at least the essential parts of each book must be memorized.

Of the more than 1,000 books in the collection, 300 are Daomen classics, and the remaining 700 are swordsmanship cheats collected by Daomen for more than 1,000 years.

Chu Zhao's master's name is Chu Shengyang, the first person in the cultivation world today, and he is called the "Sword Saint".

Chu Zhao followed his master and practiced kendo since he was a child, and in addition to his own talent, he had excellent understanding, although he had not stepped out of the mountain to walk in the cultivation world, but in the mind of the teacher, he was already a leader in the younger generation, and there were very few who could match him.

Chu Zhao packed up a few pieces of clothes from the wardrobe and wrapped them, and then solemnly took out a wooden box that was deeply hidden from the depths of the wardrobe, opened the box, and put a round and lustrous goose egg-shaped jade pendant in the box, and the jade pendant was simply carved with the word "Zhao".

When Master Chu Shengyang took Chu Zhao to the door, Chu Zhao was only four years old and ignorant, so he changed his name to Chu Zhao according to the word "Zhao" of the jade pendant he carried with him, plus his surname.

Chu Zhao looked at the jade pendant with a complicated expression, and finally stuffed this jade pendant that had been hidden for a long time and only his master knew about it into his bag.

Tomorrow is about to go down the mountain, Chu Zhao is not preparing other items except clothes and jade pendants, packing his bags, Chu Zhao found out the specially prepared materials for eating game and stuffed them into his arms, turned around and left the residence to go to the back mountain to find his junior brothers and sisters.

Chu Zhao came to the back mountain, and soon met with the junior brothers and sisters, at this time the second junior brother and the younger junior brother were busy filling the bonfire with firewood, and the little junior sister was carefree chasing butterflies and playing, she was petite, her steps were light, and the dancing butterflies could not escape her palm.

Chu Zhao sat next to the little junior brother and said with a smile: "The little junior sister's kung fu has grown a lot. ”

Qingshan view as the ancestral garden of the Taoist gate, there are many Taoist superior exercises in the view, and one of the body method is called "longitudinal cloud ladder", it is really the world's top light skill, this exercise is fast and light, the legend is that the Taoist ancestor is to cast the "longitudinal cloud ladder" to step on the clouds on the blue sky, break through the gap between the immortals and mortals, and turn into the realm of heaven and man to achieve immortality.

"Although the little junior sister is eccentric on weekdays, she has never been slack off in her practice. The second junior brother Zhang Muran said with a smile.

After chatting a few words, Chu Zhao said solemnly: "Senior brother, I will no longer live on the mountain, but you have to worry more about junior brother and sister." ”

"Senior brother, rest assured, this is what senior brother should do. ”

Zhang Muran does not practice, and has followed his master Wang Wenqing to study the Taoist scriptures since he started, but Chu Zhao knows in his heart that on the way of cultivation, Zhang Muran can be called a "theoretical master", familiar with many practice methods, and there is no problem at all in guiding his younger brothers and sisters.

Chu Zhao chatted with the second junior brother and the younger junior brother, while the third junior sister who was not present went to prepare some vegetarian snacks, the fourth junior brother prepared wine, and the fifth junior brother ran into the forest to hunt game.

It didn't take long for everyone to get together and start a long-awaited "reunion dinner", and this time it was also for Chu Zhaoyang.

The bonfire "crackled" and burned, two fat and delicious hares were roasted, everyone was full of delicate dishes and snacks in front of them, each person also had a palm-sized wine jug, everyone drank wine and ate meat together, talked highly, and the quirky little sister was even more interested, singing a ballad, the voice was crisp and pleasant, like a lark intoxicating.

Everyone didn't disperse until midnight, Zhu Wu and Lu Feng, who had always been addicted to alcohol, were already drunk, and the little junior sister was also drunk and let Chu Zhao carry it, and kept muttering unintelligible words in her mouth.

Nothing was said all night.

In the early morning of the second day, the sun was born, and the golden sunlight was scattered in the Qingshan Temple, as if a golden veil was draped in the Qingshan Temple.

Chu Zhao walked out of the courtyard with his bags on his back, and the six junior brothers and sisters at the door had been waiting for a long time.

The little junior sister Mu Ziling's eyes were misty, obviously she hadn't woken up yet, but she still showed a reluctant expression when she looked at Chu Zhao.

"Senior brother is going out to practice, and it's not that he won't come back, we'll meet when the Qingyun Conference comes. ”

"I just want to see my brother every day. The little junior sister said willfully.

It stands to reason that the fourteen-year-old girl is already a knowledgeable age, but the little sister is still an ignorant and coquettish little girl.

Chu Zhao persuaded a few words and walked towards the gate with everyone, at this time, except for Chu Shengyang, who was in retreat, the four uncles in the temple all came to see him off.

"I have to bother the four uncles, and the disciples are ashamed. Chu Zhao saluted.

"It's your first time going down the mountain, so naturally you have to send it away. Wang Wenqing said with a smile.

"That is to say, our Qingshan Temple does not pay attention to ordinary etiquette, otherwise Uncle Shi would have to get a large honor guard. Sixth Uncle Wu Qi said with a big grin.

Everyone was amused by Uncle Sixth when they heard this.

The fourth uncle handed a porcelain bottle to Chu Zhao and said solemnly: "This is some elixir refined by the old way, it stands to reason that your ability to last will not fail, but just in case, you still have to carry it with you, in case you have to worry about your life, this bottle of medicine has a life-saving effect." ”

The fourth uncle, Shang Yuanming, studied the way of pills, and the pills he refined were hard to find in the cultivation world.

"Thank you, Fourth Uncle. "Chu Zhao knew that this thing was a life-saving treasure.

Fifth Senior Uncle Huang Anqing saw that everyone had already said goodbye to Chu Zhao, stepped forward slowly, looked at Chu Zhao dotingly, straightened his clothes for him, and said with concern: "I grew you up since I was a child, and you are really reluctant to go out to be an uncle." ”

Although Chu Zhao is Chu Shengyang's apprentice, since he was a child, Huang Anqing has pulled him with one hand, just like a mother.

"Fifth Uncle rest assured, Zhao'er will definitely take care of herself. Chu Zhao comforted.

After Chu Zhao said goodbye to several senior uncles, he looked at a few junior brothers and sisters, and said, "You practice the mountain, and we'll see you at the Qingyun Conference." ”

"Take care, big brother!"

"Take care, big brother!"

“...............”

The third junior sister Ouyang Chuxue had a complicated expression, and she had thousands of words in her heart, but she didn't know how to say it, just as Chu Zhao was leaving, she mustered up the courage to run forward and handed Chu Zhao a peace charm that had been compiled overnight, and then hid behind Huang Anqing in shame.

Chu Zhao smiled slightly, put the peace charm into his arms and waved his hand to say goodbye to everyone, and then went down the mountain with his sword on his shoulder.

On the stone staircase leading directly to the bottom of the mountain, Chu Zhao's figure gradually drifted away, and on the trunk of a towering tree in the mountain behind Qingshan Guan, a tall, white-robed and white-haired old man watched Chu Zhao go down the mountain.
