As soon as Li Xiangru arrived at the mountain gate, some disciples in the sect had already seen him, and one of them walked up quickly and said, "Senior brother Xiangru, you didn't receive the morning class this morning, and you didn't see anyone, and the junior brothers in the sect are looking for you, where have you been?"

Li Xiangru said apologetically: "On a whim last night, I went down the mountain and hurt all my senior brothers and sisters, I'm really sorry." I'll ask my uncle for punishment when I go. With that, he headed for the meditation hall.

Li Xiangru arrived at the meditation hall and entered the room. Seeing Yufeng, Qingxi, and Qingliu as usual, they stood solemnly, and Yufeng Daoist's eyes were half-open and half-closed. Since the last poisoning incident, Erdao has not dared to be negligent and slack.

Erdao saw Li Xiangru enter the house and was about to open his mouth to speak, Li Xiangru gestured to them, walked lightly to Yufeng, knelt down and kowtowed, "Disciple to meet Uncle Shi." Yufeng opened his eyes, looked at him, and said, "Are you back?" Li Xiangru thanked him, then got up and said, "The disciple went down the mountain without permission, and he came to receive the punishment." Yufeng said: "You are not a casual person, there must be a special reason for going down the mountain privately, what is the reason?" Li Xiangru knew that what he saw last night was very important, and if he didn't handle it well, it would cause a big thing, even Yufeng couldn't say it to him for the time being, and even said: "It's me who is greedy for fun, and I have not left Wudang for a long time, so I went down the mountain alone to play for a while, and I was only happy at that time, and when I went down the mountain, I remembered that Uncle Jing was allowed to do so, and I didn't tell anyone in the faction." If the disciple knows his mistake, please punish the uncle. ”

Li Xiang was temporarily in charge of the door at this time, according to the rules of Wudang, with his current identity to leave Wudang privately, he had to ask for permission from the higher generation of Wudang elders, according to the current situation, he could only go down the mountain with the consent of the Yufeng Daoist.

Yu Feng stared at him for a moment and said, "In this case, I will punish you to Broken Jade Tai for half a month." In the middle of the half month, you are not allowed to leave the broken jade platform. The meaning of his words could not be clearer, although it was a punishment, it was actually to allow Li Xiangru to better find time to practice.

Li Xiangru said: "Then who will handle the affairs of the faction in this half month, please make it public to Uncle Shi." Yufeng said: "In the half month that you are away, the affairs are taken care of by Qingchun, he is old and serious, and he is more relieved." As for your food, it will be given to you by Qingxi and Qingliu in turn every day. Li Xiangru said: "Senior Brother Qingxi and Senior Brother Qingliu want to serve Uncle Shi, and they can't leave for a while, so let's arrange for others to bring food to me!" Yufeng said: "The two of them will bring you food, so it is convenient for me to understand your situation in Broken Yutai!" Li Xiangru realized that Yufeng cared about him very much, bowed down and thanked him, said goodbye, and then told everyone about the things he had thought about in Broken Yutai, and then handed over the affairs to Qingchun, and made some explanations, and then packed up a few clothes and came to Broken Yutai.

Broken Jade Terrace is a place where Wudang's influential disciples practice martial arts, and at the same time, some disciples make mistakes, so they meditate on their mistakes here to show punishment. For this reason, a stone house was built on the cliff on the north side of the broken jade north. The stone houses are all made of the bluestone of Wudang Mountain, divided into two, each room can accommodate four or five people, the stone house is very simple, only a few stone benches, a stone table. Not even a bed. When I come here, let the disciples who have made mistakes think hard, of course, it is very hard, and we have to endure some hardships before we can take it as a warning and keep it in mind.

Since then, Li Xiangru has drunk mountain springs in Broken Jade Terrace, and every day Qingxi and Qingliu take turns to bring food, and he has practiced diligently in his spare time. Ten days passed in a flash, on this day, he practiced Tai Chi, seeing that the sun was moving westward, it was already dinner time, only to feel hungry, but there was no Qingxi Qingliu delivering rice.

He climbed on a big stone on the broken jade platform and looked at the Tongwudang mountain trail, only to see a figure walking in the direction of the broken jade platform, but he saw that the figure was slender, wearing a yellow shirt, but it was Xuan Gui, and he was carrying a food basket.

Li Xiangru hadn't seen her for more than ten days, and he couldn't help but feel excited. He jumped down from the stone and hurried up along the way. Xuangui saw him from a distance, his smile bloomed like a spring flower, and he exclaimed, "Like a senior brother, like a senior brother." Li Xiangru walked up to her, reached out and took the food basket on her wrist, and said, "Senior Sister Xuangui, you are here to bring me food." ”

Xuan Gui said: "I have wanted to come to see you for a long time, but I have never been available. Today I begged my uncle, and he agreed to let me bring food for Senior Brother Qingxi. Then he asked, "Are you hungry?" Li Xiangru said: "Yes, my stomach is growling, and I am so hungry that my heart is close to my back, and I don't know how many times I have looked on the road." Xuan Gui said: "Then you can eat quickly! or the food will be cold." The two returned to the stone house, put the food basket on the stone table, and brought out the food, and Li Xiang ate it clean like a storm.

Xuan Gui looked around and said, "There is nothing in this room, not even a bed, and it is too bitter." Li Xiangru said: "Since I have made a mistake, I should also suffer some hardships, otherwise it is still called punishment? Besides, I have been trapped in the cliff for five years, and I have not suffered any hardships, and now I have food and drink and shelter from the wind and rain, and for me, it is like being in heaven." “

Xuan Gui said: "Yes, I have always wanted to hear about your life on the cliff, but by mistake, I have never had a chance, now you can talk to me!" Li Xiangru smiled: "I have been trapped in the cliff for several years, not up to the sky, not grounded below, only the breeze and the moon as a companion, a spirit bird as a friend, when bored, look at the clouds, when lonely, listen to the wind and cranes, when desperate, think about you, Master, and you, encourage yourself to be brave and persevere, every day, boring, there is really nothing to say." Besides, after coming back for so many years, everyone knows about my experience, you should know it too, right?" Xuan Gui glanced at him and said faintly: "Senior brother, it's me who is not good enough to cause you to be like this." But I want to hear these things from you personally, after all, this is still different. ”

Li Xiangru saw her fist with great intentions, so she had to tell the things trapped in the cliff again, every time she talked about the important point, Xuan Gui asked carefully, suddenly laughing, suddenly happy, suddenly sad, suddenly worried, as if Li Xiangru had not yet escaped, worried and sad for him, to listen to the whole process, Xuan Gui has cried into tears.

Li Xiangru comforted: "Senior sister, the matter has passed, isn't it good now, don't you be sad, besides, I can't blame you for what happened back then!"

Xuan Gui wiped away his tears, and said with red eyes: "You have been trapped for a few years, do you hate me?" Li Xiangru smiled: "I have never hated you, and I know that you are also unintentional." On the contrary, I miss you every day. Xuan Gui's face turned red: "I hurt you like that, you... Are you still thinking about me?" Li Xiangru also had a hot face and said: "Yes, only by thinking about you and my brothers, uncles and masters, can I have a reason to live." ”

Xuan Gui was emotional, and involuntarily grabbed Li Xiangru's hand and shouted, "Senior brother!"
