Yanagi was a little nervous.

He didn't know what the consequences of his rash actions would be.

But his instinct told him that he had to come here once!

Standing on the path by the bamboo forest, he kept letting go and shaking hands, and the grass on the side of the road had been trampled and overflowing with cyan juice.

From time to time, he glanced at the small courtyard in the bamboo forest, and finally mustered up the courage, and just took a few steps and then leaked down.

Standing hesitantly outside the small courtyard, his expression was apprehensive but full of confusion.

After standing for a long time, he hung his head, ready to turn and leave.

"Yanagio?"

A slightly surprised voice sounded behind him.

The voice was familiar.

For a year, this voice has always echoed in the sword pool, teaching them to practice swords, qi, and various cultivation experiences, and even occasionally have some travel experiences.

Once at home, no matter how good the brothers of the same clan did, he still disdained it, and this chief senior brother of Jianchi, he really admired it.

admire his cultivation, admire his personality, and admire his words and deeds. I don't know when this admiration began, but it has been deeply rooted in Yanagi's heart.

However, at this time, the more I admired him, the more uncomfortable it became, and the more embarrassed I became.

Liu Sheng turned around slowly, with a forced smile on his face, but it was more ugly than crying, and he didn't dare to look at the young man in white, dodging everywhere.

Ning Baifeng, who was standing at the edge of the courtyard, said in surprise: "What's wrong with you, what's wrong......

Suddenly he remembered something, stopped talking, and did not continue.

"Senior Brother Ning...... Sorry......"

Yanagi looked apologetic and slowly lowered his head.

Ning Baifeng sighed slightly in his heart.

For Liu Sheng, Ning Baifeng can't talk about disappointment, so naturally he can't talk about hate, and he can't talk about hatred for Zuo Ci, not to mention that Liu Sheng is only a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy.

"What do you know?"

Ning Baifeng walked out of the courtyard gate and asked with a smile.

Liu Sheng's body shrank slightly, and he said in a low voice: "The domestic servant who has been living in the cold city, I went to the Jianwen Hall in the Wind Valley to check what happened to Senior Brother Ning after he left the mountain, and then I knew that my unintentional words almost killed Senior Brother Ning......

The voice grew lower and lower until it was inaudible. The boy's head was also lowered, and his hands were a little bruised in his fists.

Ning Baifeng stood in front of the young man, stretched out his hand and pressed on his shoulder, and said, "Then have you ever thought that if you really want to harm me, your words are far from enough." ”

Yanagi looked up, a little puzzled on his face.

Ning Baifeng smiled and asked, "Do you know where Zhenyue Feng has wine?"

Liu Sheng was immediately stunned, and it wasn't until Ning Baifeng asked again that he came back to his senses and stumbled, "Spirit liquid...... Spiritual Liquid Hall estimates...... There may be. ”

Ning Baifeng hugged the young man's shoulders and said with a smile: "Lead the way." Let's talk as we go. ”

Although Yanagi was puzzled, he could only keep up.

Walking on the stone road of the bamboo forest, Ning Baifeng said: "With the patience of hundreds of thousands of years in the mountain, if you really want to do something, you will definitely prepare in advance, and your words may not be much of a reason." ”

Yanagi didn't speak, his head bowed slightly, obviously thinking about these questions.

Looking at the young man's appearance, Ning Baifeng felt very familiar for no reason, and after thinking about it for a while, he found that Liu Sheng was very similar to himself.

At a young age, he has good talent, but he has a lot on his mind.

Just by what happened outside the mountain, and what he said, he could guess that something might have happened to him, which showed him

Think a lot.

Thinking too much is not a bad thing, but it is a big burden for a teenager.

As a person who has come over, Ning Baifeng has deep feelings.

"But......" Yanagi looked down and thought about it, looking up to speak, but suddenly found that there was no one around.

He immediately turned around and saw Senior Brother Ning standing behind him, looking at him with a smile.

Liu Sheng was stunned for a moment, and found that he had reached a fork in the road.

He immediately pointed in a direction.

Ning Baifeng stepped forward and said with a smile: "It's nothing, since your servant has checked about my affairs outside the mountain, he should know that I have been to the Martial Temple in Cold City." ”

Yanagi quickly followed, nodding his head in understanding.

Ning Baifeng continued: "Zhenyue Peak is in charge of the chores in the mountain, Zuo Ci is the master of Zhenyue Peak, he will definitely be very familiar with these things, and the cold city is outside Huiyuan Mountain, those city god martial temples and mountains and rivers and land, they must not rely on Zuo Ci's snort?"

"The day before I listened to the piano, I had a drink with the Wumiao ceremony, and by the way, I watched your carriage enter the city without hindrance. ”

Liu Sheng was slightly stunned, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and said, "Senior Brother Ning means that the martial temple is involved in the division...... Left...... What kind of bureau did he set up?"

For the left resignation of the apprenticeship for only half a month, Liu Sheng really didn't know what to call it at this time.

Zuo Ci's deception of the teacher and the destruction of the ancestors is rebellious, as if he has no teacher morality, but Liu Sheng, who was born in a secular martial arts family, respects the concept of being a teacher for a day, and it is a little inappropriate to call him by his name, and he is very embarrassed.

Ning Baifeng patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't think too much, send the situation in the mountains back, and let the old people in the family mourn." Since you have come here to worship the mountain, you will learn the sword well in the future, and it will not be in vain for Liu Yu to let you inherit the mantle of the mantle. ”

Although he didn't directly answer Liu Sheng's question, Ning Baifeng had actually thought about some of the nodes in the whole thing, and the martial temple was a place that was easy to ignore.

If you look at the time, the order in which things happen, and the person who is left, it is not difficult to find the problem.

The news that Liu Sheng said was only a trivial auxiliary, and the city god and martial temple outside the mountain were the biggest layout starts.

Yanagi lowered his head and did not speak.

The two walked up the bluestone mountain road, and on the way, they met an old man with white hair, who was sweeping the fallen leaves on the mountain road.

The old man looked at the two of them and was surprised, "Chief Senior Brother......

Ning Baifeng nodded with a smile, said hello, and then inquired about how to go to the Spirit Liquid Hall.

The old man pointed in one direction, then watched as the two of them walked up the mountain path and disappeared into the forest.

This old man Ning Baifeng didn't know him, but judging from his title and aging body, which gradually overflowed his breath, this was a disciple of the Mountain Sect who had not cultivated his sword gall so far.

The mystery is a door, and the sword gall is the threshold, stopping countless people who want to ascend to the sky.

There are many such disciples in Huiyuan Mountain, and most of them live in Zhenyue Peak.

Shangyang Peak is too steep, Kongwu Peak is too cold, and only Zhenyue Peak is suitable for living.

Liu Sheng sighed and said softly, "Can I continue to stay here and practice swords?"

He was referring to the matter of left-handed resignation.

After all, he has already resigned as a teacher, and in the future, life in the mountains will inevitably be difficult.

Ning Baifeng looked at Liu Sheng, who was preoccupied, his eyes were a little trance-like, and he quietly remembered himself back then.

At the beginning, he was the same as Liu Sheng, with good qualifications and temperament, but he suffered hardships, and he thought that the road of cultivation would end here. In retrospect, if not

There are old Taoist priests, Ning Baifeng and Yuan Zhen, two naïve children, who are estimated to have died on the road long ago.

When you are in trouble in life, the greatest help is not to give material, but to be willing to protect you and lead you out of the predicament and on the right track.

At that time, the old Taoist priest was the protector and guide.

The current Liu Sheng is just in the same situation when Ning Baifeng walked out of Binhai County by himself and was physically and mentally miserable.

Ning Baifeng sighed slightly, pointed to the straight mountain road, and chuckled: "There are some things, since you can't be the master, then work hard to learn to accept them, and you have to move forward bravely." ”

Liu Sheng tilted his head slightly and looked at the young man in white.

Ning Baifeng stepped firmly on the bluestone steps, "The gossip is too much to hear, and you can even use it to sharpen your sword, when you can reach the top of the mountain, these unhappiness in your heart are actually the foundation of the Great Dao." ”

This is not only said to Yanagi, but also to himself.

Yanagi didn't speak, but his steps gradually slowed down.

When Ning Baifeng walked out of several steps, he looked back at Liu Sheng standing on the mountain road, waiting quietly.

The mountains and forests are verdant and secluded, and the two figures stand on the mountain road, and there is an indescribable feeling circulating.

After a long time, Liu Sheng under the mountain path raised his head and said, "After coming down from the cloud platform, Master Feng told me that he was willing to take me as an apprentice. ”

Ning Baifeng was stunned for a moment, and then understood the deep meaning of this.

Jiang Feng obviously also thought that Liu Sheng would inevitably find it difficult to deal with himself in the mountain because of his resignation, so he thought of the method of accepting Liu Sheng as a disciple to help him solve those words that others had no intention of but he was poked in the heart.

In order to protect the heart of this highly qualified young man, he will not sink and let there be one more sweeper in the mountain.

Ning Baifeng smiled: "This is a good thing......

"But I refused!"

Liu Sheng looked up, looked at the white clothes on the young man's body, and said first: "The master is a big rebel who deceives the teacher and destroys the ancestors, but if I worship Master Feng as a teacher again, it will also be regarded as a deception, I don't do this kind of thing!"

Ning Baifeng quietly looked at this righteous young man with a slightly red face, and smiled silently.

Liu Sheng said loudly: "Since I have already worshiped Zuo as a teacher, this is the truth, I will not run away!"

Speaking of this, Liu Sheng paused for a moment, and suddenly laughed, "If you can't be the master yourself, then try to learn to accept it, this is what Senior Brother just said." ”

It can be seen that Yanagi's smile is sincere and bright, like a flower on the side of the mountain road.

Ning Baifeng smiled and nodded, "Very good, it's even better than worshipping Master Feng as a teacher." ”

Liu Sheng was relieved and said loudly: "Senior brother, I want to keep cultivating swords in the sword pool in the future, is it okay?"

Ning Baifeng replied with a smile: "Of course." As long as you want. ”

Yanagi nodded vigorously and hummed heavily.

As soon as the knot was untied, he was the high-spirited young man again.

Ning Baifeng beckoned, "Let's go, take me to the Spirit Liquid Hall." ”

Liu Sheng pointed to the mountain forest on the right and said with a smile: "Turn the path next to you, senior brother, go by yourself, I won't accompany you, I want to pack up my things and move back to the bamboo forest under the mountain." ”

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Yanagi laughed and ran briskly towards another mountain road.

Ning Baifeng watched the figure disappear into the depths of the woods, a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes reminisced.

After a long time, the birds of the mountains and forests flapped their wings.

Ning Baifeng turned his head to look to the right.

Behind the mountain forest, several corner eaves are hidden among the branches.

A sword light fell into it from the sky.
