Shen Geng's speech in the dining room was immediate, and Xiao Qingtao, the only one among the Pei family siblings who had integrated into the group, lost almost all of her friends after breakfast.
She was very fit at the time, and said to Fangfang, who still hadn't left: "It's okay, I'm used to it, my parents have reminded me that there will be such a thing before I came to Pangshan, and I still have two younger brothers, and I am not alone at all." Her voice was still soft and childish like a little doll a few years old, but her tone and expression were like people who had experienced vicissitudes of life, and the tears in her eyes turned around a few times, but they never flowed out.
Shen Geng drew two circles in the dining room, one circle is friends, one circle is people who need to be vigilant, and outside the two circles are mediocre ordinary disciples, after him, the other four Daomen disciples also chose their own friends, Shen Hao and Fang Fang were fortunate to be selected in this batch, and the other Yelin Town teenagers could only act as envy, they were already very happy, at least they were not classified as alternative because of the demon seed.
Xin Youtao was also selected, and as soon as he washed the haze on his face, he was elated all morning, spreading all kinds of deeds of Shen Geng and others to the "ordinary disciples", and no one could tell whether these words were made up by him or made up.
Shen Geng and Shen Ji are brothers, and the age difference is only one year, as for why "Geng" is the brother and "Ji" is the younger brother, Xin Youtao can't explain clearly, and can only vaguely pass the past, the parents of the Shen brothers are both law enforcement teachers of the precept department, and they are quite respected in Pangshan.
The parents of the other three were also disciples of various disciplines, and one of them had a mother who was even a Huifeng Master of the Five Elements Sect - which meant that she was proficient in the three major categories of the Five Elements Spells, and was a rare elite among the Nine Great Dao Sects.
When Shen Hao came back from Shen Ji, his walking posture was a little abnormal, his knees were raised too high, as if he was about to fly in one step, but he looked a little clumsy, and the expression on his face was also half smug and half confused, like a naughty student who was praised by Mr. for the first time, "He asked me to call him Shen Ji Daoyou, so that it is easy to distinguish him from his brother, and he also said that my stick skills are good, if I am willing to work harder, I may be able to be worthy of the identity of a disciple of Pang Shan." ”
The teenagers in Yelin Town were all gathered in one room, and they all showed envious eyes at this time, only Xiaoqiu frowned slightly, "He spoke to you like this?"
"What's wrong?" Shen Hao hadn't understood yet.
"Shen Ji is not a Dujiao, he is similar to us, he is a new disciple of the Dao Root Beginning, what qualifications do you have...... Speaking in a didactic tone?"
The teenagers looked at Xiaoqiu in amazement, and Daliang Shen Xiuming said: "The parents of the Shen family brothers are both Taoist priests, they may have Dao roots from their mother's womb, even if they enter Pangshan with us, how many years will they be refining their bodies? We are only a few months, and the level is ...... It shouldn't be the same, right?"
Shen Hao scratched his head, "They have lived in the mountains since they were children, and they have no contact with ordinary people, and this is the style of speaking, but in fact, people are quite kind." ”
Erliang Shen Xiuwei also felt that Xiaoqiu was thinking too much, "Yes, Shen Geng Daoyou was so polite at breakfast, and took the initiative to come and talk to us, Brother Xiaoqiu, should we go back for a return visit later?" or wait for lunch." ”
Indeed, in terms of the status of the Shen brothers, the demeanor and tone of the two were very polite, much more polite than the former second young master of the Shen family, Shen Hao, but Xiao Qiu still felt awkward, "Shen Geng shouldn't talk to Xiao Qingtao like that, Xiao Qingtao has never offended anyone." ”
Everyone still remembers the scene of the three sisters and brothers of the Pei family walking out of the dining room in a panic, the teenagers were silent for a while, and Erliang Shen Xiuwei said: "But Shen Geng Daoyou is telling the truth, everyone thinks so, it's just that no one dared to say it in public before, Brother Xiaoqiu, aren't you against being friends with them?"
"It doesn't matter if you are a friend or not, but Shen Geng doesn't need to humiliate Xiaoqingtao in public. Mu Feihuang suddenly interjected, he was not valued by the disciples of the Daomen, and he was a little jealous of Xiaoqiu and others, and he had a little empathy for the Pei family sisters and brothers.
"Daomen disciples are so straightforward when they speak. Erliang Shen Xiuwei argued.
"And that's not all. Shen Hao remembered some of the rumors he had heard, although the source was Xin Youtao, it was also somewhat worth believing, "Shen Geng, Shen Ji's grandfather and an aunt died in the land of demons many years ago, so their whole family hates the demon clan very much, no matter what kind of it is. ”
"I really don't understand why Pang Shan wants to accept a few non-demons as disciples?" Erliang Shen Xiuwei said angrily, he was now completely on the side of the Shen brothers.
Xiaoqiu had nothing to say and shrugged, "Let's practice boxing, we don't care about other people's affairs." ”
Shen Hao walked to the door and took a look, "Fangfang hasn't come back yet?" ”
Erliang Shen Xiuwei grinned and said, "Fangfang likes the story of Taoism the most, of course I want to talk about it for a while." ”
Xiao Qiu felt that Fang Fang would not just break off relations with Xiao Qingtao, he took the lead and walked out of the room, went to the martial arts training ground between the main room and the east wing room to box, and the other teenagers also followed, and they all dispersed after the fight, Shen Hao and Erliang Shen Xiuwei both wanted to make new friends, and they ran especially fast.
Xiao Qiu was the only one left, and he fought the Bone Forging Fist again, and then sat on the stone bench under the tree to rest.
It is late autumn in October, and Yelin Town should already be very cold at this time, Jinghu Village, which is thousands of miles away but is also in the northwest, is only slightly cool, and Xiaoqiu doesn't even need to add a coat.
Perhaps the Pangshan Taoist priest has cast a spell on the entire area, so that the climate here will not change too drastically, in retrospect, the rain here in Xiaoqiu is always very timely, and every time it rains at night, it does not delay the things of the day.
Spells are really versatile, as soon as this thought disappeared, Xiaoqiu concentrated on listening to the voices in the building, and had a constant ability without using it, just like having toys not to play with, gold and silver not to spend, it always makes people's hearts itch.
Just use it once, just don't overdo it, Xiaoqiu easily found the voices of Shen Geng, Shen Ji and the other three Dao disciples, they were still so elegant and indifferent, even if there were probably no outsiders nearby.
They were talking about the topic of cultivation, and some of the content was quite mysterious, and if Xiaoqiu hadn't read some books and heard Fangfang tell some stories in the past few months, she might not have understood a word.
Just as Xiaoqiu was about to give up, a female disciple mentioned his name, "That one named Mu Xingqiu seems to be very arrogant." ”
Shen Geng said: "Normal, arrogant, he is the strongest person in this group of disciples, he will naturally be arrogant, I just hope that he will not be arrogant to the point of stupidity, he must associate with non-demons, that Qin Lingshuang ......"
As soon as Shen Geng mentioned "Qin Lingshuang", Fangfang's voice came, "Xiaoqiu......"
Xiaoqiu couldn't tell where the voice came from for a while, her heart trembled, and she hurriedly retracted her hearing, feeling dizzy in her head.
"What's wrong with you?" Fang Fang stood in front of Xiao Qiu, only five or six steps away from him.
"It's fine, a little dizzy. Xiaoqiu shook her head, "Is there something wrong with me?"
Fang Fang bit her lip and thought for a while before speaking, "Xiao Qingtao is my good friend, I won't break off relations with her because of someone else's words, but you and others don't have to care about my choice, you go and make new friends, let's ...... Let's just know it in our hearts. ”
"Shen Kang and Shen Ji have family members who died at the hands of demons, so they hate all demons, just like Yelin Town was destroyed in the hands of demons......"
"I know. Fang Fang raised her head slightly, and suddenly there was more pride on her face than Shen Geng, "But there is a debtor and a master, the Pei family has moved to Furong Mountain for seven or eight generations, and it has nothing to do with the hatred of the Shen family, Xiao Qingtao has never even seen the appearance of a demon, she should not be discriminated against." ”
"But ......"
Fang Fangyan smiled, "I didn't mean to let you be friends with the Pei family's sisters and brothers, I only made friends with Xiao Qingtao, you are a boy, I am a girl, and I should have made my own friends." ”
"I see, that's what I think. Xiaoqiu immediately said that Fangfang's idea did make things easier.
The two didn't speak for a while, and finally Fang Fang spoke, "Between these people in Yelin Town, we ...... Nothing has changed, has it?"
"It hasn't changed. Xiaoqiu replied, but he was a little dazed in his heart, he didn't understand what had not changed, and kicked the stones under his feet.
Things are not as simple as the two imagined.
At lunchtime, the usual atmosphere in the dining room changed, and everyone walked in like an audience member who had come to see the play, quickly finding their place and scanning their eyes to search for today's protagonist.
The five Daomen disciples were divided into two tables for men and women, and the two female disciples called their selected friends over, a total of eight people, just to fill a table, and the three male disciples called friends a little slower, Xin Youtao, Shen Hao, Erliang Shen Xiuwei and another teenager were fortunate to sit at this table, the former was proud and reserved, but the latter three were a little nervous, bowing their heads and not daring to squeak.
Then the others sat down one after another, Pei Zihan and Pei Ziqi hid in the corner, buried their heads in eating, and Fangfang and Xiao Qingtao sat in another corner, and the two tables were very cold.
Several village women watched this scene with great interest, and almost forgot to eat.
Xiao Qiu practiced the Bone Forging Fist twice, but it was relatively late, Erliang Shen Xiuwei immediately beckoned to him, and Xiao Qiu walked over under the gaze of everyone, and there was only one place next to Shen Kang.
Shen Geng pressed his right hand on the stool and looked up at Xiaoqiu, "There is something I think it's better to say it first." ”
Xiao Qiu nodded, he had practiced boxing all morning, his face was sweaty, he raised his hand and wiped it with his sleeve, Shen Hao and Erliang Shen Xiuwei both opened their mouths, looking suspicious.
"There is only one way to cultivate, there is no other way, and you can't sway from side to side as a human being. I believe that some non-demons are good, but this requires evidence, and it needs to be seen at the moment of truth how they choose. ”
"Hmm. Xiaoqiu nodded again.
"You go and let Qin Lingshuang understand this, and then you can sit here. ”
"Hmm. Xiaoqiu nodded again
Shen Hao and Erliang Shen Xiuwei breathed a sigh of relief, but Xin Youtao on the opposite side showed a very interested look, staring at Xiaoqiu without blinking, in fact, most of the people in the dining room were staring at this, and even forgot to eat, most people didn't hear what Shen Geng said, only saw that Xiaoqiu hadn't sat down yet.
Xiaoqiu turned around, walked to the village woman who delivered the rice, and received a bowl of rice and a bowl of vegetables, the village woman knew that he had a large amount of food, so she served him a lot.
Xiao Qiu held a bowl in one hand, walked quickly to the table of Fang Fang and Xiao Qingtao, and asked, "Can I sit here and eat with you?"
Xiao Qingtao's cheeks were flushed, her eyes flickered, and the look on her face couldn't tell whether she was excited or panicked.
Fangfang's face was only slightly red, but her expression was more calm than usual, she nodded slightly, and when Xiaoqiu sat down, she pushed the bowl of vegetables in front of her towards him a little
Xiaoqiu lowered her head and started eating, and didn't say a word.
