Standing on the top of Buzhou Mountain, the Three Crazy Dao Chiefs looked at the Cold Wind City at the foot of the mountain, and said to themselves: "That kid is a good boy, but I didn't expect him to be a member of that clan, and he accidentally got the fragments of his own clan. But this kid is really fateful, he was a damned person but was saved alive, and he didn't freeze to death in the winter, but survived. was originally a dead person, but he met his own clan weapon and picked up a life. It's said that it's only three things, if this kid can survive the third time, it really has a bright future, even if it's God, he won't target him like this again!"

Lao Dao pursed his lips and said: "Even if there were more people in that clan back then, what does it have to do with children? It is said that God has the virtue of a good life, and since the old way has met it, it can't be said anyway. I only hope that the child can wear that jade pendant well, and that's all Lao Dao can help. ”

The old man who turned around seemed to suddenly remember something, and said with a smile: "It's really a cycle of heavenly dao, retribution is not happy, it seems that the group of young people of the Holy Sect who claim to be the righteous path are busy, and everyone has died once, how else can you check? When I think of their bewildered appearance, I can't help but want to laugh......!

................................................................................................

The Holy Sect, the back mountain, an inconspicuous thatched cottage is one of the few forbidden places in the entire Holy Sect. Most Holy Sect disciples didn't know that there was such a place in their sect. Outside the door of the thatched hall, where there are few people on weekdays, the Holy Sect Master, the Zhanglu and the masters of the peaks are anxiously waiting outside the door of the thatched hall. The big men who usually call for wind and rain faced the thatched hall blocked by only a rotten wood door, but no one dared to push the door in and take a look inside.

The first person who couldn't bear his temperament was Chu Shiji, the peak master of Yingyue Peak, who was short and fat and wearing a wide soap robe, walked quickly to the sect master's side and said: "Senior brother, Uncle Shi and his old man are just tea kung fu on weekdays, today's matter is just to check the location of that son, how can it take so long, it's been a whole day, there is no news in the room, and my boots have kicked out two pairs!"

Before the Holy Sect Master could answer his words, a young woman wearing an emerald green robe flashed next to him, it was Shen Ziji, the peak master of Cuiwei Peak, and then he spoke: "Master Chu Feng, ten years ago, my uncle and ancestor made a divination and said: "The disaster of the Holy Sect, when it comes to Zhou, it will be destroyed when it comes to Zhou." Then we all discussed, and decided that this week was the remnant of the Buzhou clan, so we dispatched the disciples of the Holy Sect to destroy the Buzhou clan, so as to eliminate the scourge of the Holy Sect to the subtlety, and also to find out the whereabouts and location of the treasures of the Buzhou clan. Who would have expected that dozens of disciples of our sect would be slaughtered at the last moment, and the only bloodline of the Zhou clan was also rescued, and the treasure of the Zhou clan was also lost, and in the end, a chicken and egg were beaten, nothing was found, and dozens of elite disciples were lost in vain. Afterwards, after the old man learned of this, he sealed himself for decades on the grounds of leaking the heavenly secrets. If it weren't for the fact that the master dragged his seriously ill body and begged hard, I'm afraid that the master wouldn't even want to take out this soul lamp method. ”

Speaking of this, a Suyun Peak Master wearing a white robe and a gloomy face Xin Si Yan spoke: "Uncle Shi once said before he sealed himself in the grass hall: "If the soul lamp is extinguished, it will be a catastrophe. "Is it a disaster or a disaster, his old man did not say, and now the soul lamp of the Zhou family is extinguished and rekindled, but it is a strange thing that has never been seen for thousands of years, everyone has no choice, so they have to come to the grass hall to ask one or two, hoping that the uncle and ancestor will read the friendship of the sect and answer one or two. ”

Before he finished speaking, a thin old man wearing a coarse cloth short coat and a peasant costume on the side was Jia Renxin, the peak master of Tiantai Peak, and said: "Back then, the big guy hid from his master and uncle, and did something to destroy the human clan in private, thinking that he could kill two birds with one stone, and he could not only go to the disaster, but also take the treasure, so as to strengthen the strength of the sect." It's just that I didn't expect that in the end, the yin and yang left a bane, and I didn't even get the treasure. After the master learned about this, he scolded us for acting too harshly, but because there was no one to support the sect, he was already seriously ill and finally died of depression. And since then, Uncle Shi has no longer asked about the affairs of the sect. Without the ingenuity of my uncle and ancestor, the development of the sect over the years has not been as good as before, and every time I think of this, I regret that I shouldn't have acted like this in the first place. ”

Chu Shiji, the peak master of Yingyue Peak, heard this, and was so anxious that he scolded: "Phew, old man Jia, don't pick yourself up afterwards, I wonder who came up with this bad idea first, it's not you bad old man, instigating everyone, what do you say kill two birds with one stone, and you can take the treasure to the next level, saying that a thousand ways and ten thousand are not your own long-term eyes on the treasures of the Buzhou family, and you want to use the hands of the sect to fill your pockets!

When Jia Renxin heard this, he suddenly had a gloomy face, staring at Chu Shiji, as if he was about to fight in the next second!

"Enough!"

The sect master said with a sigh of resignation: "It's all your own family, what do you want to do? Now that you haven't even brushed the eight characters, you have made a mess first, and you have begun to fight in the nest, and you have begun to shirk your responsibilities! At the beginning, everyone discussed something, and everything was done, is it useful to regret it? Look at a few of you, where do you have the appearance of a cultivator?"

Elder Zhanglu said at this time: "Although the big guy was too ruthless and violated the laws of the sect, it was always for the sake of the sect, and it was not beneficial to say more things now, not to mention that the words of the master and uncle were already ambiguous, and besides, the soul lamp of the Zhou clan was not extinguished." Although the sect is no longer thriving at the beginning, it is also rising step by step, but it has eased a little, which is not a good thing. And that son of the Zhou family, who is now more than ten years old, what kind of disaster can it be regarded as? Cultivating immortals is already the law of the jungle, not to mention the law and wealth, all of which are indispensable, you and I have cultivated until now, which one of them has come over smoothly? How big of a wave can a helpless child make? Maybe it will not take a hundred years for a disaster to occur on the way, and the life span will be cut off, so the disaster will be over. ”

The Holy Sect Sect Master said: "Our Holy Sect can have today's momentum, I don't know how many Longtan Tiger's Den we have passed, how many hardships and dangers we have overcome, and a dispensable proverb will scare you? Let others know, wouldn't it be to laugh at our Holy Sect for being as cowardly as a mouse, then what kind of immortals do you cultivate, and you can do it one by one! Since Senior Uncle Jia is unwilling to come forward, then we will solve this matter by ourselves! Since Senior Brother Jia was the first to bring up this matter, then Senior Brother Jia will do it for the time being! It's okay, let's all disperse. With that, he flew away alone.

"Obey the will of the senior brother in charge. Jia Renxin's face was gloomy, and as soon as his voice fell, he also flew away, and disappeared in an instant. When everyone saw that the sect master had gone, they flew away with their own thoughts.

In front of the thatched cottage, which was originally lively, it was silent again. In the thatched hall, a thin old man with a white beard sat on a futon, looked up at the empty window, and sighed softly.

...............................................................

When he woke up in the morning, Zhou Changsheng only felt refreshed, he hadn't slept so sweetly for a long time. Looking out the window, the sun had already hung high, and it was obvious that he had overslept, so he hurriedly got up and hurriedly washed his face, holding two steamed buns in his hands, and rushed out of the inn with half a pickled cucumber.

First, I went to find Wang Erniu, Li Shan, and Zhang Wenxian, and asked them if they had told others about the dagger. Then I had to go to the old man Gongsun Shanqing, and his precious dagger was still there.

On the way, Zhou Changsheng devoured the two steamed buns, and almost arrived at Wang Erniu's house. In front of Erniu's house against the bluestone street, there is a meat stall, and the backyard is against the canal in the city, which is convenient for killing pigs and sheep and cleaning. Wang Erniu's father is a black man with a big waist and a round waist, and he looks very bluffing, but he is loyal, but he is very afraid of guilt, and he can be said to be obedient to Erniu's mother.

Zhou Changsheng came to the butcher shop and asked, "Uncle Wang." Where's Erniu?"

Wang Butcher wiped his hands with a rag and said, "It's Changsheng, Erniu and his mother are in the backyard, what's the matter with Erniu?"

Changsheng said: "It's okay, it's not that the old master of the academy hasn't come back yet, I'm idle at home, so I'm looking for Erniu." After speaking, I went into the backyard, and happened to see Erniu helping to clean the internal organs in the backyard.

Zhou Changsheng pulled Er Niu aside and asked in a low voice: "Er Niu, the day before yesterday, we went to the garbage mountain to play, do you remember the dagger I picked up?"

Erniu asked suspiciously, "Why should I tell others if you found something?"

Zhou Changsheng said: "Don't ask why, if someone asks, you just say you don't know." After saying that, Changsheng went to Li Shan and Wang Wenxian's house again, and after saying the words again, he went to the blacksmith shop in the west of the city to find the old man Gongsun.

When he arrived at the blacksmith shop, Gongsun Shanqing saw that Zhou Changsheng was coming, and directly called him into the inner room.

Gongsun Shanqing said: "Come here, take off your clothes, just wear dirty clothes." I'll see how your bones are. ”

Zhou Changsheng took off his clothes, wore only a dirty clothes, and stood in front of Gongsun Shanqing.

The old man said again: "It is estimated that it will hurt a little for a while, you can just endure it, if you don't cry out for pain after the final bone examination, my baby in the house will let you pick another one." ”

Zhou Changsheng gritted his teeth and said: "A gentleman's words, the horse is difficult to chase, old man, you are not allowed to regret it." ”

Gongsun Shanqing first reached out and pinched Changsheng's shoulder. Zhou Changsheng only felt that the pain that penetrated deep into the bone marrow came from his shoulder, and the green tendons on his forehead appeared in an instant, but he gritted his teeth and did not squeak.

Gongsun Shanqing said: "Just let you feel how much it hurts, you might as well be prepared, this bone test is painful, but if you persist until the end and don't faint, there will be unexpected benefits." The bone examination is more than this, there is still a growth in the back, you definitely can't stand up, or lie on your stomach. After speaking, he asked Zhou Changsheng to take off his shoes and lie on the bed.

The bone examination should start from the top of the head and continue to touch the bones of the whole body one by one to find out the physical condition of a person. Because on the human body, whether it is skin or flesh, it is easy to exercise the day after tomorrow, but the bones are the most difficult to exercise. If the position of the bone is not right at the beginning, or there is a secret wound on a certain bone and you don't know it, then practicing martial arts can only harm yourself in the end. The root bone is good, you just need to come step by step, and in the end, it will naturally come naturally. If the root bone is not good, it will be a lot of trouble, first of all, you must correct the bone, and you can only come little by little, and when your bone is right, you can start practicing, and everyone else is about to leave the teacher. That's why some people always value the root bones so much, which is a big aspect. This is also why it is necessary to practice martial arts as soon as possible, because I am afraid that there will be problems with long bones. The most important point is that bone correction is not something that can be done by just looking for a random person, generally speaking, only grandmasters are qualified to correct bones, and it requires a lot of mental effort. Others are not impossible, as long as they are not afraid that the bones will be more and more crooked.

Gongsun Shanqing's expression gradually became serious. His hands touched down from his head little by little, but Zhou Changsheng felt as if there were wisps of true qi turning into a lot of knives slashing through his bones little by little, not all at once, but continuously stabbing after slashing. Gongsun Shanqing's fingers were sometimes pinched, sometimes pressed, sometimes pushed, sometimes stabbed, I don't know how long it took, Zhou Changsheng felt that his bones were broken all over his body, and more than once. The quilt under his body has long been soaked with sweat, his whole body is like a piece of mud that is constantly twitching, and the corners of his mouth are also bleeding, falling on the futon, like plum blossoms that are unyielding.

Zhou Changsheng thought in his heart that this was the last time, and then the old man came again and again, and finally Zhou Changsheng felt that his consciousness was already blurred, but a voice in his heart kept telling him that he couldn't give up and hold on for a while, so he gritted his teeth and held on.

From beginning to end, Zhou Changsheng did not cry out in pain.

After a long time, Gongsun Shanqing let out a long breath, wiped the beads of sweat on his face, and said to Zhou Changsheng: "Are you still awake, the test is over." ”

Zhou Changsheng shouted in a voice that was already dumb: "No ......" Before he finished speaking, his eyes rolled and he fainted.

Gongsun Shanqing looked at this young man who didn't want to faint until the end, and secretly admired it in his heart. The boy's whole body was as if he had just been fished out of the water, wet and steaming, and even the quilt under him was almost soaked with sweat. The two sides of the futon had been scratched by the teenager, but even so, the teenager still didn't say a word and held on to the end. If he didn't say that the test was over, would this young man continue to hold on? Gongsun Shanqing found that he had no answer.

Only Gongsun Shanqing himself knows that this is not an ordinary root bone at all, but a straight bone. If you only examine the root bone, you only need to roughly touch it, it doesn't hurt at all, where is the need for such trouble, otherwise who wants to let their children suffer this sin at every turn.

Gongsun Shanqing first took a general look at Zhou Changsheng's root bones, obviously it was not a lie that he was born with weak bones, because some bones on Zhou Changsheng's body had obviously been secretly injured, and some bones had been skewed and misplaced. There is no problem in ordinary life, but if you practice martial arts, then the problem will be big, and it is likely that you will not practice martial arts well in the end, but you will be disabled in training. It turns out that the normal orthopedic bones are only one or two pieces at a time, and then continue when they are raised, generally speaking, it will last for several years, otherwise who can stand it? Gongsun Shanqing himself originally thought the same way, and he went up a few pieces first, but after he started, he didn't know what was wrong, so he wanted to try how far this young man could last in the end. No one expected that Zhou Changsheng lasted from beginning to end, which made Gongsun Shanqing admire him very much. Because he knew that to endure such pain and suffering, it would take far more tenacity than ordinary people to do. Gongsun Shanqing felt that he would not be able to persevere.

Looking at the sleepy Zhou Changsheng, Gongsun Shanqing himself was still a little guilty. He didn't know what was wrong with him, but he didn't want to admit it in his heart. If it was a few years ago, I wouldn't have done this at all, but now my days are numbered. I don't know if I can last a few more years, if my vein is broken in my hands, then the master and his old man will really die in the ground. Gongsun Shanqing remembered that in the past, the masters and brothers resisted desperately in order to survive, didn't they just want the faith and Taoism they cared about to be continued? Wasn't it just so that their little brothers could run farther? It's just that Shanqing disappointed the masters and brothers. Although Gongsun Shanqing survived the battle, his cultivation was completely wasted. can only hide incognito, hide in this remote town, and survive for a long time.

It wasn't until Zhou Changsheng appeared in front of him with that dagger that he discovered that there was no endless way to heaven. The dagger gave him a chance to find out who had raided his mountain gate back then, making him a lonely ghost overnight. Because that green dragon dagger was the blade that his master wore back then. For many years, I dragged my half-crippled body to find out who was behind the scenes, year after year, even I didn't have any hope, and I didn't think that God would finally open his eyes.

Once a person has hope, he will give birth to infinite motivation and courage. Gongsun Shanqing is like this, originally he thought that he would die in obscurity in this city, and disappear into the long river of history with the secrets of his master. Now he doesn't think like this anymore, he wants revenge, he wants to find the murderer, he wants to avenge the dead masters and brothers.

A few tears are scattered in my heart,

Looking back on the past few springs and autumns,

Raise your hand and drink the wine in the glass,

Don't dare to forget the bone-eating feud.

The Qinglong dagger was quietly inserted on the table, and the blade reflected Gongsun Shanqing's face, which was already in tears.

It wasn't until the next day that Zhou Changsheng woke up from his slumber. But I found that my whole body was like a wrapped big dumpling, and I couldn't move the same. Gongsun Shanqing sat aside, picked up his pipe, smoked a cigarette and said: "Don't move, boy, I finally helped you straighten the bones of your whole body and fix them, if you accidentally mess up, do you still want to suffer yesterday's sin again? I told your parents yesterday that you accidentally fell off the city wall to save me, so you were injured, but it is not serious, and it will get better in a few months, but it is taboo to move indiscriminately." Zhou Changsheng's body couldn't move, so he could only stare at Gongsun Shanqing fiercely with his eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "Bad old man, count yourself ruthless." ”

A few months have passed, and Zhou Changsheng has been devastated by the old man Gongsun in these months. Today said that he would fine-tune the position of the bones, and Ming'er said to try acupuncture therapy, and the day after tomorrow said that there was too much blood to let some blood, back and forth dozens of times. It was originally said that it would be fine for more than a month, but then it was delayed for two months, and then it was delayed for three months, and Zhou Changsheng sneaked away several times in the middle, and was caught by the old man before he left the room, and then there was a burst of "heavy manual massage", which directly made Zhou Changsheng unable to move for several days. Zhou Changsheng felt that his endurance was almost at the limit, and at this time, Gongsun Shanqing pushed the door in and said, "You can get out of bed tomorrow." ”

Zhou Changsheng said with a look of disdain: "Old man, aren't you tired of lying to people every day? Do you think I will still believe it, uncle? In fact, it is quite comfortable to lie here." ”

The old man sat on the Taishi chair next to him, smoked a cigarette and said, "Do you want to hear a story? You must be wondering why I'm so nice to you. You are very smart, you must have guessed something, but you are reluctant to say it, for fear of upsetting the existing balance and bringing about a bad situation. You know that it is impossible for a master to be so good to his apprentice, if so, then he must have other plans. Actually, you can get out of bed now, your body has basically healed, but you can't do too intense exercise for the time being, there is no need to lie there and pretend to be honest, you are uncomfortable, and I look awkward. I didn't want to tell you so early, but recently I have figured out a lot and feel that a person's fate should not be decided by others, but by himself. ”

Zhou Changsheng got up, looked at this familiar and unfamiliar old man, and a different taste welled up in his heart. Walked over to the table and drank a cup of tea. He knew that the old man was going to have a showdown with him, but sadly he didn't even have a card, and even the opportunity to choose freely was given by others, and Zhou Changsheng hated this feeling.

The old man glanced at Zhou Changsheng and said, "If you want to listen, just sit there honestly." ”

Zhou Changsheng pursed his lips and said, "Can you not listen?"

The old man said expressionlessly, "I can't." ”
