Chapter Twenty-Three: Kneeling and begging for a teacher
Lingyun Peak.
Several disciples' houses are located near mountains and rivers, and they are scattered.
In the courtyard, but see a few spiritual trees verdant, crape myrtle is shining, a clear stream flows in the small pond from the crack of the small stone mountain, the green vine branches climb towards the wall, the green bamboo in the corner of the wall is swaying, and the bamboo shadow is swaying......
One side of the courtyard leans against the mountain pavilion, out of nowhere a few wild hairy monkeys sprang out, "squeaked" on the tiles of the long pavilion and kept screaming, those hairy monkeys were very naughty, frolicking and playing, unbearably happy, and then jumped into the cliff waterfall by the side of the long pavilion one after another, disappeared.
The weather is so good, how can you not have fun!
I saw two people sitting around the chess table in the courtyard, on the chessboard, the masters played against each other, one black and one white, and there were many things in the fall, wandering in all directions, strategizing, and winning thousands of miles!
These two people turned out to be Song Beiluo and Zhao Zhiyuan, and Zhao Zhiyuan was Song Beiluo's senior brother, and he had appeared twice in the Tingyu Hall before.
At the end of the game, the two looked at each other and laughed, Zhao Zhiyuan's demeanor was graceful and elegant, and he said: "Senior Brother Song, your white chess piece is broken, and it actually cut off my black life, it's really smart, I lost this game!"
Song Beiluo's face showed a humble expression, and he arched his hand and said: "Senior Brother Zhao is strategic, and his subordinates are merciful, I am really lucky to be a junior brother in this game!"
Zhao Zhiyuan waved his hand, shook his head, and said to Song Beiluo: "Senior Brother Song, you are too modest......
During the conversation between the two, Gu Nanyun didn't know when he had come here, he saw that Master and Uncle Zhao were playing chess, so he didn't dare to come forward to disturb, so he just waited not far in front of him until the end of the chess game between the two
When the winner was decided, Song Beiluo and Zhao Zhiyuan discovered him.
Gu Nanyun took a few steps forward, he bowed to Song Beiluo and Zhao Zhiyuan, and said, "Yun'er greets Master, Uncle Zhao ......"
Song Beiluo saw his little disciple coming, and saw that his face was a little gloomy, thinking that he was not usually in such a state, could it be something important!
He smiled happily, raised one hand lightly, motioned for Gu Nanyun to stand up, and said, "You get up first, Yun'er, what is the matter with you looking for a teacher?"
Gu Nanyun got up at this time, he looked at Zhao Zhiyuan next to him, and did not immediately answer Song Beiluo's words, but he did have something in his heart, but this matter could only be said to the master alone.
Just when he was a little hesitant, Zhao Zhiyuan had already observed his expression, thinking that he would be inconvenient here, so he opened his mouth and said: "Senior Brother Song, you and I will play the game today, and when we have leisure in the future, we can fight again!" After speaking, he got up and wanted to leave.
Song Beiluo didn't have anything to say at this time, just nodded in agreement, and said, "Then listen to Senior Brother Zhao, it doesn't hurt if he has time to learn again!"
At this time, Zhao Zhiyuan had already gotten up and looked at Gu Nanyun, and he smiled and said, "Senior nephew Nanyun, you can have a good chat with your master! With that, he left the courtyard straight away.
"Congratulations to Uncle Zhao!" Gu Nanyun replied.
In the courtyard, only Gu Nanyun and Song Beiluo were left.
"Master, Yun'er has something I want to implore you to promise!" Gu Nanyun knelt down on one knee at this moment and said in front of Song Beiluo.
After Song Beiluo heard this, he was a little puzzled, what was this important thing that made him ask him for this time. He said, "Yun'er, get up and speak, what the hell is going on!"
Gu Nanyun raised his head and saw that he had a serious face, with a faint light shining in his eyes, he said: "Master, since that day in the Listening Rain Palace, the disciple knows that the senior sister and Yin Zhongxuan of that Cangyun Peak have a marriage contract, and this time the disciple came to beg the master to cancel this marriage!"
After listening to this, Song Beiluo's face was still bland, so he groaned for a while, and then said: "Yun'er, do you think there is anything wrong with this marriage, you can talk about it!"
Gu Nanyun was still kneeling on the ground at this time, and replied: "Master Qiqi, that Yin Zhongxuan is arrogant and conceited, and has a bad character, how can this kind of person be the person entrusted by the senior sister, if the senior sister marries him, she will not be happy in the future, and I hope the master will see it!" he said in a heavy tone, even with a faint dissatisfaction.
Song Beiluo saw it in his eyes, how could he not detect it. He thought that this disciple of his had always been enthusiastic, honest and kind, since he saw Yin Zhongxuan that day, he felt that that person was not the person entrusted by Lan'er, maybe the disciple in front of him was right, but ......
Song Beiluo took a slight breath, he slowly picked up the wine bottle on the stone table, poured a small glass, and then drank it all......! Do you know that this marriage was promised by the teacher himself?"
At this time, Gu Nanyun heard his master's words come into his ears, how could he not know. But now this matter can't be delayed any longer, for the sake of senior sister's happiness, even if he commits a crime today and offends the master, he has to say it.
Gu Nanyun replied: "Yun'er knows, even if this is the case, even if the master wants to punish the disciple today, I am willing, and I only ask the master to take back his life!"
Song Beiluo stood up, waved his wide sleeved robe, then turned his back to him, and stood with his hands in his hands, only to see him look up at the swaying bamboo shadow on the edge of the long pavilion, and there was silence for a while, and he did not speak......
Then he sighed slightly, and said: "Before this matter, Lan'er had also asked for a teacher, and she came to ask for the cancellation of the marriage contract more than once, but the teacher did not agree to her!"
He continued: "Lan'er grew up watching her teacher, and in my heart you are like my children. I am good friends with Senior Brother Su of Cangyun Peak, so I decided this marriage for Lan'er early......" Gu Song Beiluo wanted to say something more, but he didn't say it.
Gu Nanyun was a little dazed at the moment, and his heart was in a mess, if the master didn't cancel this marriage, the senior sister would definitely marry that Yin Zhongxuan, how could this be good.
When he saw Song Beiluo's silent expression, his face was full of hesitation, and he hesitated!
Gu Nanyun thought that the master also had his difficulties, and he forcibly begged this time, feeling unscrupulous in his heart, and then he lowered his voice and said, "It's all Yun'er's bad, let the master embarrass you, please punish the disciple!"
Song Beiluo walked towards Gu Nanyun, bent down and helped him up with both hands, and said: "Yun'er, as a teacher, I know that you three brothers and sisters are like brothers, you don't want Lan'er to be wronged, this teacher can understand, why don't I want Lan'er to have a good home!"
He turned around again and continued: "Regarding Cangyunfeng's Senior Nephew Yin, he has also heard of his conduct and style over the years, and then I thought about it carefully and slowly, about this marriage, it is indeed a little unfair to Lan'er, your senior sister doesn't like him in the first place, but the teacher wants her to marry Senior Yin's nephew, and now Lan'er should hate me very much!"
After Gu Nanyun heard this, he hurriedly defended his senior sister and said: "One day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father, the three of my disciples should respect Master from the bottom of their hearts, and they will definitely not dare to disobey!"
Song Beiluo smiled "haha" and said: "Okay, you don't have to explain for Lan'er, this girl knows by nature as a teacher, even if she has a grudge against her teacher, it is reasonable." ”
"......" Gu Nanyun was silent and did not speak.
Song Beiluo said at this time: "I know this matter in my heart, and now that the matter has come to this point, this marriage will be decided by Lan'er!"
Gu Nanyun didn't expect that when the master was still hesitating just now, he suddenly asked the senior sister to decide the marriage so quickly, he was excited in his heart, and said happily: "Yun'er thanked the master on behalf of the senior sister, thank you for the master!"
Song Beiluo let out a long snort, still indifferent, he said: "If it's okay, you go down first, you want to be quiet!"
"Yes, Master...... Yun'er retreated!" Gu Nanyun bent down to say goodbye.
At this moment, he didn't want to bother his master more, thinking that it was already difficult enough for Song Beiluo just now, so he should choose to leave early.
Vertical day.
Early in the morning, Gu Nanyun was woken up by a fellow senior brother, saying that he was asked to go to the Listening Rain Palace, and the master and uncle had something important to tell him.
On the way to Tingyu Palace, Gu Nanyun pondered in his heart along the way, he was just a little disciple of the Sword Sect, and now he was personally summoned by the master and ancestor in charge, this is really infinitely glorious, what is the important thing that he needs to participate in, he thought about it for a while but never understood, so he didn't think about it anymore, and when he heard everything in the Rain Palace, he would see for himself.
In the Listening Rain Palace, Lu Junya was sitting upright in the middle of the main hall, and at this moment Lu Beiluo was standing beside him, in addition to the two people in this hall, Jiang Yao and He Lan'er were also present, and they were quietly waiting for Gu Nanyun's arrival at the moment!
After a while, a handsome man about eighteen or nineteen years old walked in from outside the hall, and that person was Gu Nanyun.
"Meet the master and ancestor, master ......" Gu Nanyun bowed his hands one by one.
After he finished speaking, he looked to the left side by side, Jiang Yao and He Lan'er, with a happy smile on their faces, and said hello to each other!
Lu Junya looked at Gu Nanyun, only to see that he was still a snoozey milky child, but he had grown tall and handsome after not seeing him for a few years. He nodded faintly and said with a smile: "Yun'er, you have been coming to my Sword Sect for more than five years!"
Gu Nanyun replied, "Back to my uncle, it has been five years and six months since my disciple started at the age of thirteen. ”
Lu Junya looked peaceful, his old face was red, he was quite satisfied, with a relieved look, and said, "Hmm...... Yes, your master often mentions you to the old man, saying that in the past five years or so, you have practiced diligently, and your cultivation of the Dao is much more diligent than that of ordinary new disciples, and you can make great achievements in the future!"
After Gu Nanyun listened to Lu Junya's praise, he bent down deeply and lowered his head to show his respect for Lu Junya.
Lu Junya continued: "Now that Kyushu is in turmoil, chaos and demons are everywhere, it is necessary for the disciples of my sect to uphold justice and eliminate demons, as a disciple of my Yunhua Sword Sect, you must be duty-bound, even if you have to sacrifice your own life, are you willing?"
Gu Nanyun's expression was firm, and he replied without hesitation: "The disciple is willing, as a disciple of Yunhua, I have always been deeply taught by the master, and I dare not disobey it, I must take it as my responsibility to eliminate demons and punish demons, and take it as the right way to protect the common people in the world!"
At this time, Jiang Yao and He Lan'er, who were standing on the side, both of them cast appreciative glances, it turned out that their little junior brother was very ambitious when he became serious, so they both sighed in their hearts, their little junior brother has grown up after all!
Then, they couldn't help but glance at each other, and the information in their eyes was actually what they thought in their hearts, and then they smiled knowingly!
Lu Junya saw that Gu Nanyun's expression did not hesitate at all, but was firm and unswerving, which was beyond the reach of ordinary disciples! He was a little emotional at the moment, and said, "This is my Yunhua
The way a disciple should be, it seems that I and the senior brother in charge really didn't look away at the beginning, this son is resolute, and he will definitely have a bright future in the future!"
After that, he turned his head to look at Song Beiluo, and said, "Beiluo, you can accept a good disciple!"
Song Beiluo bent down at this time, bowed his hand, and said to Lu Junya: "Thanks to Uncle Shi's award, Bei Zhi doesn't dare to be, Yun'er still needs to be tempered, he should be more diligent in cultivating in the future, so as not to waste the cultivation of his master!"
Lu Junya nodded his head, he put his gaze back on Gu Nanyun, only to see a wave of his long sleeves, and said: "Yun'er, I called you here today because there is something that needs to be done by you, this matter is to go to Yunzhou to explore the hiding place of the sect rudder." Now, the head master has arranged to select a new and outstanding disciple from each of the four peaks to go to the Haoqing Palace in Yunzhou together, and at the same time, the new disciples in the sect have the opportunity to gain experience and improve their cultivation!"
He said again: "Yun'er, I have already been selected this time, and that is you, you are the new outstanding disciple selected by my Ling Yunfeng!"
After Lu Junya finished speaking, Song Beiluo's face was infinitely glorious at this time, and he said happily: "Yes, Yun'er, this time there is a chance to go down the mountain to experience, you have to cherish it!"
After Gu Nanyun heard this, he remembered that he had mentioned this cult in the Tingyu Hall last time, and naturally he knew that he would select new elite disciples and go to Yunzhou to investigate, but he didn't have too many extravagant hopes for this new elite disciple, because there were so many new disciples in the Sword Sect, and it wouldn't be his turn to think about it! Although Gu Nanyun thought so, he was not arrogant, but treated it with a normal heart.
In the Yunhua Sword Sect, if the selected disciples are entrusted with important tasks, they must be appreciated and valued by the masters, which is an extremely glorious thing!
At this moment, Gu Nanyun still couldn't believe his ears, he wanted to confirm it again, so he said, "What Uncle Shi said...... Is the chosen disciple Yun'er?"
He Lan'er next to her looked a little anxious at this time, and she said to Gu Nanyun: "Xiaoyun, of course it's you, why don't you hurry up and thank Uncle Xie!"
He Lan'er's words made him wake up like a dream, Gu Nanyun took a few steps forward, stopped at the steps, knelt down in front of Lu Junya, and said, "Disciple, thank you Uncle Ancestor!"
"Hurry up! You represent my Lingyun Peak lineage this time, and the old man is also happy!" Lu Junya stretched out his hand, helped him up and said with a smile.
Gu Nanyun got up, he looked at Song Beiluo, and said, "Master, the apprentice went to Yunzhou this time to investigate the whereabouts of the cult, and I will definitely live up to Master's high expectations and guarantee that I can complete the task!"
Song Beiluo listened to Gu Nanyun's words, and his heart was full of satisfaction, but he was still a little worried, so he instructed: "This time, you go to Yunzhou to explore the hiding place of the cult demons, at least one or two months, and at most half a year, during which it will definitely be dangerous, act carefully!"
Gu Nanyun arched his hand and replied, "Thank you Master for your concern, Yun'er must be remembered in your heart!"
Song Beiluo finally said: "From today on, you pack up your things, go to Qingyun Peak to meet with other disciples, and then the head master will arrange time for you, and then set off!"
"Little junior brother, take care of yourself all the way, you have to be more careful, senior brother, I will wait for you to come back and test the sword together!" Jiang Yao, who was standing next to him, suddenly spoke, with a somewhat reluctant look on his face.
Gu Nanyun's mood became heavy at the moment, and suddenly he had a feeling that he was going to be separated forever, today he was going to leave Lingyun Peak, to be honest, he was really reluctant, reluctant Master...... I can't bear to be a brother or sister...... But for the sake of the task assigned by the division, he had to go!
"Hey......
Gu Nanyun pretended to laugh, he looked at Jiang Yao and stepped forward to hug Jiang Yao's body, then let go, and said, "Okay, senior brother, you wait for me, then we will have another competition in the green bamboo forest, maybe I will be able to beat you at that time!"
"Good junior brother, just wait for your words, come back early!" Jiang Yao patted him on the shoulder with his hand and said.
Gu Nanyun looked at He Lan'er again, and saw her somewhat sad look, and faint tears flashed in her eyes, which made him even more reluctant and uncomfortable in his heart......
He approached He Lan'er's side, his dark eyes were shining with tenderness at the moment, and he whispered to He Lan'er: "Senior sister, don't worry, I'll be back soon, you don't have to worry about me!"
A reassuring smile made Helan'er smile too, a pair of curved willow eyebrows are now surprisingly good-looking, she said: "Senior sister is afraid that after you leave, it will not be lively, so ah, come back early after finishing the errand, and you must come back to see me unscathed, otherwise I won't forgive you!"
In the face of this senior sister's sometimes unreasonable trouble, Gu Nanyun always shook his head helplessly with a smile.
He smiled and said, "After I leave, senior sister, you don't have to talk to senior brother anymore, anyway, he can't say you can't do it?"
At this time, He Lan'er pursed her lips and said, "Okay, don't worry, I won't bully him anymore!" After finishing speaking, she squinted at Jiang Yao.
Jiang Yao was said by the two of them, and now he is facing his uncle and his master, these two people really don't save him some face, so he coughed a few times, and then Song Beiluo and Lu Junya both laughed "haha......
In the end, I only heard Song Beiluo speak: "It's not early, Yun'er, hurry back and pack your things and set off!"
Gu Nanyun walked back to Song Beiluo, his voice was still a little heavy, and he said, "Master, the apprentice can't serve you if he leaves this time, please take care!"
After finishing speaking, he said goodbye to the four people in the hall one by one, turned around and walked towards the outside of the main hall......
Song Beiluo looked at Gu Nanyun's gradually departing figure, his face was always calm and his expression wrinkled slightly, this time he went to practice, but he was facing a vicious cultist, and his heart was sinister. I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse.
From Lingyun Peak to Qingyun Peak, Gu Nanyun carried the long sword Kunqi, hung a simple bag wrapped in gray cloth on his shoulder, walked on the white jade plank road above the sea of clouds, and walked in the direction of Qingyun Peak.
All this remained the same in front of him, and he remembered the scene of walking through here with his master five years ago, and he remembered it vividly, and a thought gradually lingered in his mind.
Looking at the clouds and mist in front of him, the cranes flew over and chirped, the green mountains and rainbows loomed in the distance, occasionally passing through the mist, the cool breeze was blowing, at this moment, he was extremely happy, enjoying the surrounding scenery.
About a pillar of incense, the majestic shadow of Qingyun Peak gradually appeared in front of his eyes, and then walked forward, in front of him was a huge white jade circular square, Gu Nanyun stepped into the square, only to see all the Yunhua disciples walking back and forth, during which a few people who knew him also said hello. The huge bronze tripod on all sides of the square, the green smoke wafting in the tripod like a day after day.
When he was about to cross the square, a handsome Qingyun Peak stood proudly in the sky, appearing in Gu Nanyun's eyes, and at the end of the square was a row of wide and long white jade stone steps extending upward, connecting to the Qingyun Peak's Qinghua Palace.
He went straight up the white jade stone steps, walked in the direction of the Qinghua Palace, the towering and proud Qinghua Hall appeared in front of him, the golden glazed tiles were dazzling and dazzling in the sun, it was particularly brilliant, under the clear blue sky, it couldn't help but make people feel solemn, there were two partial halls on both sides of it, standing majestically, just slightly shorter than the Qinghua Palace.
Outside the Qinghua Palace, Yuanxu Zhenren was already waiting here, waiting for the new disciples of Sifeng to come and pay a visit. Next to him, the four elders in the door were all present, and Duanmu Qi, the closed disciple of Yuanxu Zhenren, was also standing beside him.
At this time, four Yunhua disciples came up at the end of the stone steps in front of them, and Yuan Xuzhen looked at them and walked towards the entrance of the main hall together.
The four disciples, two men and two women, were Gu Nanyun of Lingyun Peak, Yue Ningyi of Feiyun Peak, Yan Zhen of Cangyun Peak, and Wen Li of Liuyun Peak. I saw that they were all heroic and sassy, and their temperament was outstanding, and Yuan Xuzhen was very satisfied after seeing it, and nodded to express his recognition and appreciation for the four of them.
"Disciple to meet the master!" the four of them said in unison and bowed their hands.
"Hmm...... No need to be polite. ”
Yuanxu Zhenren's robe was fluttered by the breeze, and the white cloud pattern embroidered on the robe also seemed to flow, and the whole person looked immortal and noble.
His wide sleeved robe was raised, and then he said lightly: "The four of you are the ninth-generation new elite disciples of our sect, and now that the danger is imminent, this seat intends to assign you to go to the Haoqing Palace in Yunzhou, and join the disciples sent by the Haoqing Palace, and go together to explore the hiding place of the Tianwei Cult Rudder, are you all willing?"
At this moment, the four of them were standing side by side at the palace at his feet, and then replied in unison: "I respect the decree of the master, the disciple is willing to go, and he will not give up!"
Yuanxu Zhenren continued: "This time I went down the mountain not only to explore the sect rudder, but on the one hand, it is also to let you go through some training, temper your will, improve your cultivation, and at the same time, glorify my sect and raise my prestige!"
After Yuan Xuzhen finished speaking, he looked at Duanmu Qi, who had been standing beside him, and motioned for Duanmu Qi to arrange for the four disciples standing side by side in the palace next!
Duanmu Qi bowed to Yuanxu Zhenren, and then turned to look at the four disciples under the steps, only to see that she was upright and awe-inspiring, and said: "Four teachers and nephews, this trip to Yunzhou, I will lead everyone to go together, and I hope you will obey my arrangements in the future!"
After she finished speaking, the four people under the stairs responded in unison.
Duanmu Qi looked at their appearance at the moment, these disciples seemed to be like the scene when she entered the Sword Sect back then, when she was also as big as them, high-spirited, and ambitious, she was really terrifying!
