Chapter 13: A Rare Peace
Liu Yi followed Skylark and Uncle Zhang into the Taiji Sect.
As soon as I entered the gate, I saw that the space inside was very large, and there were more than a dozen people standing in this open space.
They all practiced the basic moves that Lark taught Liu Yi, but they were more natural than Liu Yi to fight.
Skylark and Uncle Zhang didn't disturb them, and stood quietly aside.
After they finished their battle, all these people rushed up and came to the lark.
A group of people said to the lark in unison, "Welcome Uncle Shi back." ”
The lark looked at them with a smile on his face and said very happily, "It seems that you little slippery heads have improved your kung fu." ”
More than a dozen people were very happy when they heard this, and Senior Brother Zhang said, "Let's go in and talk, Senior Brother Yun is hungry after traveling for so long, so eat first." ”
The group walked into the dining room of the sect together, and a group of people sat at a few tables.
There are disciples who are responsible for the purchase of food, and it is extremely simple to eat, and this group of disciples cannot drink alcohol, but they still talk and laugh when eating.
This group of young disciples asked what the lark had seen and heard outside, and an enthusiastic senior brother pulled Liu Yi to introduce him to these senior brothers.
They also listened to the lark talk about Liu Yi's situation, and some people directly patted their chests and said that there is a senior brother covering you and something like that.
Liu Yi was also moved by their enthusiasm and felt warm, and in their enthusiastic greetings, he also learned that these people were all disciples of different masters.
And he is the only disciple of Skylark, as for the previous matter, Liu Yi asked the other senior brothers, and they all said that they didn't tell him about this matter, only he went to ask the master himself.
Liu Yi looked at the lark and the uncle Zhang chatting and smiled.
I haven't seen him so happy in the past few days, and it's not easy to bother, so I have to keep it in mind and have the opportunity to ask about it again in the future.
After lunch, Skylark Zi first took Liu Yi to familiarize himself with every place in the sect.
The council hall, the house, the alchemy room, the punishment house, the library, the martial arts training ground.
Every place told Liu Yi about the purpose of the house, and walked through the entire sect in one afternoon.
Liu Yi walked all the way down and felt that there were not so many disciples in the sect, but the warm atmosphere of the sect made him very relieved.
Every senior brother and uncle I met would say hello to the lark, and would come over to care about Liu Yi's situation.
Liu Yi feels that staying here should be the best choice at the moment.
It was already approaching evening, but the lark didn't mean to stop, and the two walked to the foot of Tianzhu Mountain.
The lark said, "Are you tired today?"
Liu Yi replied seriously: "Don't be tired, master, are we going to the mountains to have a look?"
Skylark said: "Yes, let's go, although there is nothing on the mountain, but after the construction of our sect, plus the children of the Mo family who were invited to come to build, it is already a secluded place for us to cultivate." ”
After listening to the lark, Liu Yi was even more curious about what it looked like, but there was a question that Liu Yi had to ask.
"Master, how do we climb up?"
Hearing Liu Yi's words, the lark smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go up the stairs and go up." ”
Liu Yi was even more puzzled after hearing this, so he had to follow the master and continue to walk, walking in front of Tianzhu Mountain, Liu Yi looked up and found that this straight peak could no longer see the top.
Retract your gaze and follow the lark to a hole that can only be passed through by one person.
A disciple was guarding the entrance of the cave, and when he saw Skylark and Liu Yi coming, the disciple said hello: "Uncle Yun is still going up to practice martial arts at this time?"
The lark said, "One of my newly accepted disciples took him up to see if he had worked hard, Zhao Feng." ”
"Don't get in the way, Uncle Yun, go ahead, I'm stationed here, so I won't take you up. ”
The lark said, "Don't get in the way, you go back early to eat and rest." ”
Zhao Feng said hello, and the lark took Liu Yi to the entrance of the cave.
Inside the entrance to the cave is a staircase carved in stone, which looks like it was carved out of the inside of the mountain, and it is supposed to be a road carved from the bottom up.
There was no light source inside, only a fire fold in the Lark's hand to illuminate it.
There was a turn every few zhang, and the stairs were narrow enough for one person to walk, so Liu Yi could only walk behind the lark.
I don't know how many laps I walked back and forth, and finally came to the end.
There is a stone door above the head, and there is a lever next to the lark, and when you pull it down, the stone door above your head clicks and slowly opens.
Liu Yi followed the lark and walked up, and finally reached the top of the mountain.
As far as the eye could see, there was an open clearing, and it was now empty.
The floor is paved with bluestone slabs, and the whole clearing is in the shape of a garden, surrounded by a section of wooden railings around the edges.
There are only two pavilions on it, located in the upper right corner and the lower left foot, and in the center of the clearing there is a tablet that reads Meditation Terrace.
The lark took Liu Yi around and then said to Liu Yi on the side: "You remember not to get close to the edge, if you fall, there will be no bones left, come here and practice the moves I taught you." ”
Liu Yi began to practice after listening to it.
After a short time, the lark asked, "Do you feel anything other than usual?"
Liu Yi said: "I don't feel anything else, I just feel very calm in my heart and have no other thoughts." ”
The lark nodded and said: "Yes, this is the effect of having this place, this place is located on the top of the mountain is extremely pure, and it is an excellent location to absorb the qi of heaven and earth, and it is half the effort to cultivate, if you cultivate in the future, you can come here." ”
Liu Yi nodded, and with such a place, he would definitely have to come often in the future.
It was already dark, and the master and apprentice walked down from the top of the mountain, and after going down and having dinner, Liu Yi was arranged to sleep in a room.
There were many rooms in the sect, and he slept alone, lying on the bed, Liu Yi looked at the roof in a daze.
Thinking about the experience of the past few days, he was a little distracted, the accident of the death of his parents, and he saw the comfortable life of Xu Mo's family in Shaocheng, but he was not envious.
He has only one goal now, which is to become stronger and take revenge, and the treatment of his master and brother made him feel at ease, and he fell asleep before he knew it.
Liu Yi woke up in the morning, put on his clothes and washed, and came to the dining room for breakfast.
The lark was also there, and he walked over and sat next to the lark, and the morning meal was also a simple steamed bun side dish porridge.
Liu Yi took the bowl and ate it, and after eating, he looked at the lark and asked, "Is the master still going to practice today?"
Skylark looked at Liu Yi and said, "Gong is to be practiced, but today you have to do something else with your senior brother first, and each of us here has to do some work for the sect to maintain the daily operation of the sect, which is also a kind of practice." ”
Liu Yi didn't have any objections, and he would do whatever the master said.
Skylark continued: "Our sect has farming, procurement, kitchen, cleaning, each of which has its own place, so that the sect can run in an orderly manner, and you can choose one is your daily work. ”
Liu Yi lowered his head and thought about it, and after thinking about it, Liu Yi looked up at the lark and said, "I want to farm, I have done this in the village, and I am most familiar with this." After speaking, Liu Yi looked a little lonely.
The lark said: "The work is paid every month for your daily expenses and pocket expenses, and the cultivation will give you a piece of land as long as the harvest is guaranteed, but you remember not to go out of the mountain unless there are special circumstances, because you are afraid that you young disciples will be in any danger, except for the purchase of disciples who are accompanied down the mountain, the rest of the people must have special approval, do you understand?"
Liu Yi said: "I understand, Master. ”
The lark said, "Then your Senior Brother Shen Ling will take you to the place where you farmed. ”
After speaking, the lark called a person, this person is about twenty years old, this senior brother Shen Ling is a disciple who is responsible for managing the cultivation work.
Shen Ling came to Liu Yi and said to him, "Let's go, Senior Brother Liu Yi, I'll take you to the place where we farmed." ”
The cultivation place is not far from the Tianzhu Mountain, and the area enclosed by a fence is a wide area of vegetables and fruits that supply the daily meals of the sect.
Above the back is a gentle slope planted with rare and exotic grasses, which are all used for alchemy, Gu Shen Ling said that there are special people guarding it for twenty-four hours to prevent anyone from eating or stealing by mistake.
Liu Yi was taken by Shen Ling to the land where vegetables were planted and said to him: "We have ten acres of land, and we are planting different kinds of vegetables, all of which we eat by ourselves, so you are temporarily responsible for taking care of and maintaining the vegetables and fruits of the three acres of land, and there is no problem with daily fertilization and insecticide and care, little junior brother." ”
Shen Ling touched Liu Yi's head, and Liu Yi said: "No problem, I often do this kind of farm work at home, don't worry about leaving it to me." ”
Seeing his confident look, Shen Ling was slightly relieved, he took Liu Yi to explain to him where to put fertilizer, and there was a small cabin next to the cultivated land, which had insecticidal potions and some tools for farming, and Shen Ling left after finishing speaking.
Leaving Liu Yi alone to start working, Shen Ling took out a book in his room after leaving, which wrote the distribution of cultivated land, and wrote Liu Yi's name below.
Liu Yi picked up the wooden barrel and filled it with fertilizer and began to work, although he was small, he was not slow at all.
Halfway through the morning, Liu Yi had almost finished watering three acres of land.
The sun was not fierce on this day, but Liu Yi was sweating profusely after doing it.
Looking at the sun, it felt that it was still early, so Liu Yi cultivated on the edge of the cultivated land, and it was still those basic moves.
Liu Yi is now cultivating, but he is intoxicated and ignores foreign affairs.
While Liu Yi was cultivating with moves, the lark watched Liu Yi's every move outside the cultivated land.
It was very gratifying to see him cultivating so diligently, as if he saw a shadow, his former apprentice.
The lark couldn't help but feel a little sad when he thought of the past, and he was refreshed when he saw Liu Yi's diligence.
He thought to himself, "We must teach this apprentice well so that he can become a talent." ”
Thinking so, the lark regained the look on his face, walked over and said to Liu Yi: "Don't practice first, let's go eat first." ”
Liu Yi heard the voice of the lark and walked over to eat with him.
After eating, the lark took Liu Yi to a secluded pavilion, sat under a big locust tree, and asked, "Are you still used to staying in the sect in the past two days?"
Liu Yi smiled and said, "I think it's very good, Master and all the senior brothers treat me very well." ”
The lark smiled lightly and said, "That's good, come here to do the exercises again, and let the teacher take a look." ”
"It's Master" Liu Yi clenched his fists, and his movements slowly unfolded.
The breeze passed over the locust tree, the lark sat under the tree, and Liu Yi in front of him was practicing the exercises, which was a rare calm in the past few days.
