The east wind started last night, and everything is spring again.

The frogs in the lotus pond at the bottom of the mountain are croaking one after another, and last year's swallow in front of the hall has flown back.

Year after year, flowers and months, twilight and earth reincarnation, time does not stop, life is endless.

Qingzhou has been coming to Qianyulou for two years, and in these two years, he has been practicing calligraphy, reading poetry, and painting by the side of his master Chu Li. Although this kind of life is comfortable, it goes against his original intention of coming to this Qianyu Tower. Shizun always said that when he is in better health and his mind is more settled, he will teach him some of the most basic exercises. But as the days passed, I saw that the other brothers and sisters had learned a little, taking things from the air, urging magic weapons, it was not a problem, only myself, and even being called to help Grandma Liu kill a pig under the mountain, was bullied by pigs. For this reason, he was laughed at by his brothers for a long time.

On this day, Qingzhou, as usual, listened to the scriptures from the master, and returned to the dormitory with a few senior brothers who had already become acquainted. After listening to the scriptures for two years, he still couldn't understand a word, and whenever the master asked him, he would make a fool of himself in public. I remember that a few days ago, when the master talked about the "Ranga Sutra", he asked him what he meant by killing sentient beings for the benefit of money. Qingzhou got up from his seat, thought for a long time, and replied, "The meaning of this sentence is that if you kill everyone in the world for money, and catch all the pigs in the world with a net for money, this person should be an insatiable evil person. ”

As soon as these words came out, they caused the brothers and sisters to laugh.

Therefore, every time Qingzhou listened to the scriptures, he was drowsy in fear. After listening to the scriptures, he was always very sleepy, even more tired than carrying ten jars of water.

As soon as Qingzhou returned to the dormitory, he collapsed on his bed, and he didn't even bother to take off his clothes, and fell asleep unconsciously.

In the middle of the night, the sound of frogs was boiling, and the sound of insects gradually rose, making it difficult for people to sleep, and several senior brothers sat up and talked to each other.

They talked about heaven and earth, from Jiangnan Tingyu Pavilion to Nanyue Mengyue Hall, from Yuan Changfeng, the first generation of Sword Pavilion, to the current Pavilion Master Yuan Tianci. During the period, when he talked about the sword immortal Yuan Qiuchen, everyone was excited and worshipped. But after the excitement, they all sighed one by one, they all felt that Yuan Qiuchen was actually not turned into an immortal, but was killed by someone, and the person who harmed him was probably Yuan Tianci who was competing with him for the position of the pavilion master. They also said that in fact, Yuan Tianci and Yuan Qiuchen were not brothers of flesh and blood, Yuan Tianci was the only son of Yuan Changfeng, the master of the Sword Gate Pavilion, and Yuan Qiuchen was just picked up by Yuan Changfeng, so when Yuan Changfeng passed the position of pavilion master to Yuan Qiuchen, Yuan Tianci already held a grudge.

They talked and talked, and talked about the sleeping pig-like Qingzhou, they felt that this person could not do anything, and could not even learn such simple things as reading and writing, and was no different from waste, if it were not for the young landlord to take care of it, he would have been expelled from the building door and went to the field to be a cow and a horse.

In fact, Qingzhou didn't really fall asleep, he was afraid that the senior brothers would know that he wasn't asleep and would make fun of him, so he deliberately pretended to be asleep, and in order to avoid being discovered by them, he also snored from time to time.

He lay on the bed with his eyes closed, listening to them talk about the world and listening to it with relish, and suddenly heard them say that he was still like usual, only saying that he was young and ignorant, and his qualifications were lacking, but he didn't expect that the senior brothers were polite to him on weekdays, and they were polite everywhere, not because they liked him, but because of the face of the landlord, in fact, they were so disgusted with him in their hearts and looked down on him.

As for Shizun, I'm afraid that most of them are also because of the face of the landlord, so he didn't drive himself out of the sect with such a stupid and unenterprising person! No wonder Shizun has always refused to teach himself martial arts, Qingzhou finally figured it out.

Everyone was talking and talking, and when the night came to the third watch, they yawned one after another, and went back to their beds and fell asleep.

At this time, only Qingzhou was awake, and he thought about it, but he couldn't enlighten himself. Then he remembered what his grandfather said to him before leaving, "Your heart is undecided, and no matter what circumstances you encounter in the future, you must not give up on yourself." "His heart is better again, others look down on him and think he is a waste, it doesn't matter, if he thinks the same, then he is really a waste.

Qingzhou figured it out and felt much more at ease, but after tossing and turning, it was difficult to sleep again. At this time, he heard someone whispering outside the palace, so he got up and pushed open the palace door, wanting to take a look.

The moonlight outside the palace is like washing, shining on the jade bricks on the ground, emitting a light light. There were three people standing under a plane tree outside the palace gate, as if discussing something unspeakable.

Qingzhou got closer, and saw clearly that these three people were the senior brother Liuyang, the junior sister Qingli, and a senior brother he couldn't name.

"What are you doing here, why haven't you slept yet?" asked Qingzhou softly as he walked over to them.

The three of them thought that they were so absorbed that they didn't even notice that Qingzhou walked up to them, and when Qingzhou suddenly spoke, they were startled.

The senior brother hurriedly took the light boat to his side, signaled him not to speak, and then took a few light boats and walked to the apse mysteriously.

To the north of the apse, there is a staircase, which is connected to the Zixiao Palace, which is not a road that is often walked, so the roadside is overgrown with weeds, if you don't know, you can't find this staircase at all.

"Where are we going?" asked Qingzhou, a little confused.

"Don't ask, just go. Senior Brother's tone today was particularly stern, not at all the same as before, as if Qingzhou had done something that was difficult for him to tolerate.

Qingzhou didn't dare to ask any more, and followed them up the narrow stone staircase, and after a while, he came to the back gate of the Zixiao Palace. They sneaked in from the mountain gate of the back mountain and came to the Dan Palace of the Zixiao Palace, which was the place where Chu Li made alchemy medicines, and it was not something that idlers could enter casually.

Qingzhou was a little scared, he wanted to ask, but he didn't dare, so he could only follow them and enter the Dangong Palace.

In the Dan Palace, a huge refining furnace is placed in the middle, the fire in the refining furnace is booming, and the huge heat is coming out from the furnace wall, steaming, and flowing to the ground like water, making the entire Dan Palace look smoky, like a fairyland.

On the four walls of the Dan Palace, there are gourds of various colors, and all kinds of pills are stored inside, and only Shizun Chuli can tell what is inside.

"Wow, there are a lot of pills, I don't know which one is the elixir that can make people instantly obtain huge spiritual power?" Qingli looked at the pills hanging on the wall, and her saliva was about to flow out.

Liuyang quietly looked at the countless pills, but there was light in his eyes. He is the senior brother of the White Tiger Sect of the Zixiao Palace, but his spiritual power is not the highest, which makes him unconfident many times, especially in front of those junior disciples who are deeply loved by the master. Even, he sometimes felt that the master didn't value him very much, he only thought that he had disappointed his old man, so in recent years, he had been cultivating spiritual power very hard. But every time he competes with his masters, he still can't win against those juniors who look frivolous and don't usually practice hard, which makes him feel that this world is unfair.

In order to increase his spiritual power quickly, he learned that Shizun had recently refined a Hui Ling Pill, which had gathered nearly a hundred years of spiritual power, and eating it could not only increase a large amount of spiritual power immediately, but also stimulate people's potential, so that the speed of cultivating spiritual power in the future would increase exponentially. When Liuyang learned that there was such a thing in this world, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep for a few days and nights, he felt that this elixir was his life-saving elixir, which was prepared for him by God, if he got this elixir, he would be able to become a real senior brother of the White Tiger of this Zixiao Palace, and those who had looked down on him in private and thought that he was not worthy of being a senior brother would be convinced. Even, he can defeat the other three top masters at the annual building meeting, so as to shine and get the favor of the young landlord and even the landlord, so as to become famous all over the world.

But when he knew that this elixir was not for him, but for Qingzhou, he was very angry, angry, and even crazy. He didn't understand, Shizun had never valued Qingzhou, why he would give him such a waste of this elixir that had been refined for a year, he couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't understand it.

Therefore, he thought of stealing, and he felt that this elixir should have been his, because he was the senior brother, and he was the person who should be cultivated by the master the most.

Liuyang looked at the gourd hanging on the wall, and saw that there was a gourd that looked very different, he was ecstatic, walked over quickly, and took the gourd off.

Qingzhou originally thought that the senior brothers were just curious, so he took him to visit the Dan Palace of the master, but now seeing the senior brother's move, this is to steal the elixir!

"Senior brother, no, if this matter is discovered by the master, you will be expelled from the master!" Qingzhou hurriedly stopped Liuyang and admonished.

"What's the matter with you, you waste, do you dare to teach me to do things? Don't think it's great to know the landlord, tell you, I'm the senior brother of this Zixiao Palace!" Liuyang suddenly became hideous, not at all like his usual modest and tolerant appearance.

Liuyang grabbed the light boat, and then threw it heavily on the furnace wall, and the light boat's body fell on the furnace wall, like a skinny toad falling into the red-hot iron pot, and was instantly burned to the flesh.

Qingli and the honest little brother saw it, they were terrified, they were deceived by Liuyang, and when they saw Liuyang at this moment, they actually killed Qingzhou in a moment, and they were so scared that they only trembled.

Liuyang opened the gourd and took out the pill inside, it was a golden pill with a clear light, presumably the elixir.

Liuyang took it in his hand, he was as happy as crazy, the gourd in his hand fell to the ground, and he looked at the golden pill greedily, extremely obsessed.
