The cold has not gone, and the snow has not disappeared in spring.

The disciples of Xiqiao Mountain who moved out of the Stone Forest Cave Heaven were no longer able to enjoy the thick and deep snow scene of the Black Snow Ridge this year. According to the usual practice, the trust sect master will always choose a day to convene the disciples of the mountain view in various places to gather at the end of the year, and during the day, the lower sect masters from all over the country will report to the sect master about the situation of the year. If there are newly accepted disciples within a year, in addition to the apprenticeship ceremony will be held in the Patriarch's Hall in Shilin Dongtian, the year-end gathering must also bring the newly accepted disciples to meet the seniors of the sect and meet the brothers of the same sect.

Like this kind of sect lord with a wide area and many sects, a disciple who has embarked on the road of cultivating immortals, and the incense relationship with the same sect is generally started by two meetings. As for how much help from fellow sects can be on the road of cultivation in the future, the breadth and narrowness of the range of contacts, and the amount of affection, firstly, it depends on the prestige and status of one's master in the sect, and more importantly, it depends on how one will behave in the future.

But this year, Zhang Taixuan, the new sect master, changed his customs and set up the year-end party in the Bailing Villa on the outskirts of Luoma City. It coincided with the completion of the largest restaurant in the villa, and it was held in conjunction with the opening ceremony. After all, it is also one of the industries in which Xiqiaoshan has a certain share.

The restaurant is called the Star Picking Building, which is the restaurant that was built in the center of the Bailing Post House as soon as it entered the compound. Nowadays, Bailing Mountain Villa is no longer called Bailing Mountain Villa. According to the proposal of Li Cunsan, the newly stationed martial arts academy master in Luoma City, the scale of this mountain villa is not inferior to Longmen Town, Tongchuan City, a large town in Qingping Prefecture. As the throat of the western suburbs of Luoma City, it is also the transportation point of the entire Pingzhou and Guangxin Prefecture, and the commercial hub, which should be justified in its name, even if it does not do the noisy thing, named after a city, it should also be renamed Bailing Town, becoming one of the fifty-six towns of Luoma City.

Since it is the foundation of the city's prosperity for the next thousand years, the status of Bailing Town should be above the other fifty-five towns.

As soon as this proposal came out, Xiqiao Mountain had a slight complaint, and even treated Li Cunsanxiao with righteousness several times. In the other towns, they were all silent, and the city lord Shen Lang neither seconded nor objected. When Li Cunsan came to take advantage of the martial arts academy's large-scale selection of martial arts seedlings, he traveled to various towns and villages, and met the local Lizheng. Walking back in a circle, the fifty-five towns are sending declarations to Xiqiao Mountain one after another, moving with the feelings of public expectation, knowing the reason of the thousand-year plan, and a thousand words, which boils down to a wish, that is, Bailing Mountain Villa should be renamed Bailing Town according to the proposal of the Martial Arts Academy.

In this way, the Bailing Post House has also followed its name.

As the god of a realm, it stands to reason that this kind of thing is what he Zhang Taixuan said, but the appearance of the final result seems to be mixed without his personal wishes. Since everyone was happy, he also came to push the boat.

For the people of the three cities of Xiqiao Mountain, the new sect master, who had always felt very unfamiliar, has since been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and has won a reputation that does not forget to inherit and does not stick to the rules. Moreover, the establishment of Bailing Town has become a feat related to the well-being of all people.

Therefore, the opening of the first restaurant in the town is particularly grand. The location of the year-end gathering of the Xiqiaoshan Sect is even more successful.

At that meeting, nine disciples attended Qingniuping, and it was almost overwhelming. Only the old man who swept the floor with a lowly status, the old grandson, Diao Yubao, who did not have many friends among the same sect, and Jiang Taiyao, who had ignored the affairs of the sect for many years, were left. Leaving these few, one is to take care of the family, and the other is to protect the old sect master Cheng Mojin, who has been in retreat for several months.

Since accommodating to Qingniuping, the disciples of this vein of Shilin Dongtian naturally have a feeling of inferiority. If it weren't for respecting the thousand-year-old rules, those nine disciples would not be willing to bring humiliation on themselves.

However, when the group arrived at the Star Picking Restaurant, the ending was very unexpected. Not only did the new sect leader Zhang Taixuan personally descend to welcome the ten juniors who were down, but he also introduced the newly accepted disciples of each branch to the descendants of this group of old sect masters one by one. Among the seven major branches of Xiqiao Mountain, the honor of these young disciples of Qingniuping is ordered

The eyes are red.

It's just that except for the young disciple who is named Zhizi, others such as Ouyang Yucheng know it. This kind of treatment, for himself, is just a small comfort for people who are not cold, but for Zhang Taixuan, it is a careful plan to win fame and enhance the cohesion of the sect.

On the Chinese New Year's Eve of the 3,625th year of Dao Yuan, the disciples of Qingniuping spent the first very congested sect annual meeting since entering the Dao practice.

That was a few days ago, and now every time I think of it, Jinguan Daoist Xian Yutan can't help but scold a few words of his mother and complain about the smiling tiger with a honey-bellied sword. But it was the handsome son Fu Yuli, who often said a few words to comfort his brother.

Once Xian Yutan's temper came up, senior brother Ouyang Yucheng couldn't persuade him, let alone other junior disciples. Only Fu Yuli, who usually doesn't have much fireworks, can often convince him.

If the shadow left by that small New Year's banquet in everyone's hearts has just dissipated, then this reunion dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve is another sad banquet that touches everyone's feelings.

Now there is a big table, with twelve heads, and everyone silently picks up food and eats, and occasionally sipes of wine, all of which are full of bitterness.

Xian Yutan drank a few glasses of stuffy wine, then became angry, and scolded and scolded: "What kind of rule is this, the family business that the old sect master has worked so hard to save will end up making wedding clothes for others like this?

Ouyang Yucheng reminded very unceremoniously: "Old Xian, you are the senior brother and uncle of many people here!"

"Many people?" the Golden Crowned Daoist was even more annoyed, "Do we have many people?" At the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in Shilin Cave, there are no fewer people, the thin horse mountain, the elephant mountain, and even the occasional pillar mountain, will come. Now, there are more than a dozen mouthfuls. No, it's just a twelve, not a few. Let's not talk about other people's families, just our own family, I can't say a few words You Ouyang Yucheng has the ability to go out, scold the sky all night, scold anyone, and keep it even a wild bird outside the mountain will not hear. ”

Ouyang Yucheng was speechless for a while, sighed lightly, and did not say anything more.

The heartless old grandson has an excellent appetite, and he has gobbled it up, and he has already burped several times before he suppresses the continuous upward breath. On the face of the ravine, there was a look of tranquility, "Eliminate the gas and eliminate the anger, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read." The newcomers and the new world, or you Uncle Wang and Uncle Chen, all have unavoidable hardships. If they don't come, you young people can't find a day to take the initiative to worship a mountain? There are not many people in Qingniuping, but you can't lose the bearing of your ancestors. ”

The old man took a glass of wine and said with a smile: "Why don't you go for a night, two years old, two years old, five watches and two years, you can't get along with yourself, you can't get along......

The teachers and nephews of the Zhizi generation who had been unable to interject, two or three of them suddenly changed color on their faces at the same time, and exclaimed: "It's not good, there are thieves who break into the mountain gate at night!"

The senior brothers looked strange, and no one answered at once. But Diao Yubao, who had been working hard in front of the food and wine glass, said coldly to the little teachers and nephews who were making a fuss, "Dare to love your thieves, will you break into the mountain gate at night openly for the sake of such a few broken houses with four walls?"

This second senior brother usually doesn't speak much, but once he speaks, he is a blockbuster. There is no problem that everything can be seen through very clearly, and humanity is to see through it without saying anything. Often people in a word are easy to have no friends.

What's more, the vigilance of these juniors, from another point of view, is commendable. Ouyang Yucheng instructed with a serious face, "Zhiling, Zhipei, you two go and have a look, if you are a guest, you will treat each other politely, if you are looking for livestock and ordinary people who have strayed into the mountains, don't be embarrassed."

Family. If it is an ordinary little thief, deal with it according to the rules, there is such a big movement on the mountain, it will not be a strong enemy. ”

Yuan Zhiling, Qin Zhipei, the two young men, who had been shouting before, had hot faces and turned around silently to go out.

A moment later, a ghostly shout came from a distance outside the door, "It's Uncle Shi...... Uncle Yuqing is back!"

There were five people at the banquet, and they suddenly got up and turned into rainbow lights and hung on the side of the mountain gate!

Shi Yuqing held on to the pillar of the mountain gate, which was still very new, panting, and staring at the two teachers and nephews who came in a hurry. The five figures, which suddenly hung like a rainbow, appeared two or three feet away, all with arms around their chests, and their faces were not good.

How can this look like welcoming my brother back to the mountain, it is clearly a battle to fight! Others who don't know the truth still think that I, Shi Yuqing, have a hatred for killing my father and taking my wife. Fortunately, none of these people who have the ability to let the sisters of Wugong Mountain take a few more looks......

Shi Yuqing didn't have time to feel sad, and reflexively shouted loudly: "Which brother...... Brothers, let me ...... first Take a breath ......"

Ouyang Yucheng took the lead and beat the fat meat in front of it. Followed by Xian Yutan, Chen Yuzhen, and even Fu Yuli, who usually doesn't ask about personnel, swept over and punched Shi Yuqing twice in the lower abdomen.

Seeing the other three young teachers and nephews who came from behind, they were inexplicable. Master, uncles, uncles, and uncles, how can they be more like children than us?

After a burst of raindrops of fists, Shi Yuqing stood unexpectedly, but he kept shouting exaggeratedly, asking for his life.

Ouyang Yucheng was beaten, still angry, and smacked the ground, "You deserve it, let Uncle Wang bring the letter, and don't let you bring an address." I don't have you as a brother. Ying Tianjing is great, and cultivation is all great? You brothers, which one is afraid of trouble and fighting? If you have to walk back by yourself, and let the mountain bandits rob money and kill you halfway, I have to thank him for giving you a long memory. ”

Shi Yuqing said with a bitter face, "Senior brother, which one ...... You don't make sense. If you kill yourself, how can you remember it for a long time?"

As a result, the soft and fat chest and shoulder sockets were hit by a few powerful Wang Ba punches.

Ouyang Yucheng suddenly stopped, and said with a face full of surprise, "What kind of weird method are you?

The other brothers, awakened by a word, discovered this vision. Don't look at the guy when he was beaten, he shouted like killing a pig, but when he was next to that old punch, he not only walked in shape and footsteps, but after the beating, he breathed a long breath, his face was not red and he was not panting!

Shi Yuqing said shyly, "What other magical powers can I have, just rely on the set of punches that I blindly vacated, and I just hung my life to strengthen my body, but I didn't expect the effect to be good." Up to now, I have been able to deal with a few worldly martial artists with a low realm. That's why I didn't bother the brothers to pick it up. Isn't this a complete return? ”

Fu Yuli looked focused, looked Shi Yuqing up and down, and saw that the latter felt a little hairy in his heart.

"Refining Qi and Transforming Gods, Refining Gods is still empty?" Fu Yuli seemed to mumble to himself, and seemed to ask blankly.

Shi Yuqing breathed a sigh of relief and gave him a thumbs up, "Senior brother has good eyesight." It's just some simple Qi refining methods, which are not worth mentioning. ”

He said it easily, but the brothers and sisters all looked strange and did not comment.

"Now that it's all here, let's go back and have a good New Year. An old voice, slightly lacking in breath, came from the top of the slope not far away.

In the deep night, Shi Yuqing looked at the rickety figure and felt sad.

Two generations of master and apprentice, generally encountering ......
