Since Qinjiang returned to Kundui Palace from Songxikou, he went into the study.

All day long, the door is not out, the second door is not stepping, the tea is not thinking about food, I don't see anyone, I live like a big girl who has not yet married, dragging Mengyu to study the song of Tianzun together.

The hard work paid off, and after half a month, Qin Jiang finally studied the Tianzun Array.

In the early morning of this day, the distant horizon oozed a hint of orange brilliance. Accustomed to getting up early and absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, Dao Ying Zhenren, the head of the Jing Ting faction, and the elder Dao and Zhenren walked along the steep stone stairs together, intending to go to a cliff in Kunlun Mountain to cultivate together.

But when the two of them walked to the boundary monument of the sect, they found a basket on the ground.

This basket is not good, or rather a little broken.

The top of the basket was covered with a coarse blue cloth, which seemed to be very old, and the blue was almost gone.

Doyoung's master and Michiwa Zhenren found the basket together, but they didn't know what the situation was, and looked at the other party suspiciously, hoping that the other party could provide him with a reasonable explanation.

However, it is clear that it is impossible for them to find any answers in the puzzled eyes of the other party.

Since there had never been such a situation in the sect before, the two of them didn't know what to do for a while, so they could only stand stupidly where they were.

"Senior brother, our Jingting faction shouldn't have offended the people in the rivers and lakes, or our fellow Daoists, right?"

Doyoung spoke with suspicion.

After all, the first time you encounter such a situation, you will inevitably have doubts. On the rivers and lakes, wanting to spend time among thousands of flowers and not touching the leaves is actually wishful thinking. However, for cultivators, it is much better than those sects on the rivers and lakes that fight and kill all day long. Although the cultivators practice different paths, they all follow the same Taoist teachings. Taoist doctrine teaches cultivators to be quiet and inactive, and to value harmony, so naturally there is less friction between this sect of cultivators than other sects. Therefore, such a situation really made the two old men a little confused.

"Our Jingting faction has always valued peace, so how can we provoke the people in the rivers and lakes?"

The Tao and the real person thought about it for a while, but they really didn't have it.

Besides, today's situation doesn't look like a revenge seeker.

"Wow~Wow~Wow~"

At this moment, a cry came from the basket, startling the two real people who were not shocked everywhere.

How?

What else will this basket be called?

Attracted by the cry, the two real people paced to the basket together, crouched down, and carefully uncovered the worn-out blue fabric.

It turned out that it was a child in the basket!

It's still a child under the age of one!

Daoying Zhenren's brows couldn't help frowning, and a soft corner of his heart was so painful by this cry, how could there be such ruthless parents in this world? Throw his own relatives and flesh in this sparsely populated place that is bitter cold all year round!

Just when Daoying Zhenren was in distress, Dao and Zhenren made a new discovery.

"Senior brother, look, there's a letter here!"

Dao and Zhenren said as they took out the letters in the basket and handed them to Daoying Zhenren.

Doyoung took the letter and unfolded it.

I saw that the letter read: Disturb the head of the Jingting faction, and ask the head for forgiveness. The villain couple is terminally ill and may die soon. Therefore, the villain dared to hand over the dog Shangguan Jue to the real person, and heard that the real person was compassionate, merciful to all sentient beings, and hoped that the real person could accept the dog as a disciple and cultivate carefully to avoid disasters.

After reading the letters, especially the handwriting on the letters, there was a trace of complicated thoughts in Daoying Zhenren's eyes.

"Hey......"

Soon, Daoying Zhenren suppressed his emotions and let out a long sigh.

Hey, how can there be so much suffering in this world?

"Senior brother, bring this child back to the sect!"

Daoying Zhenren suppressed some of the sadness that overflowed in his eyes, and commanded Dao and Zhenren.

"Senior brother is planning to take this child as an apprentice?"

Dao and Zhenren always felt that something was wrong in their hearts, so they asked in surprise.

The child in front of him, not to mention that the origin is unknown. Whether it will be a blessing or a curse is not yet known. How can he bring back the sect so rashly? Although this sect ignores the affairs of the world, if there is any entanglement with other sects on the rivers and lakes because of this, it will be troublesome? After all, although this letter is full of blood, who can guarantee that it is true? On the rivers and lakes, the truth is true and false, the false is true, the truth is false, the truth is true, the truth is false, the truth is false, the truth is true, the truth is false,

"That's not the case, wait until this child is older, look at the bones, and then make a decision! Even if this child doesn't have any excellent bones, he can spend his life without illness and disaster when he stays in Kunlun Mountain, and he won't follow the old path of his parents!"

Daoying Zhenren has his own plans, he doesn't think that this child has an unknown origin, and there is anything wrong with it. Many of the disciples in the sect are orphans brought back by themselves in the process of traveling the world, and there are not many more children! Besides, this child's background is still so pitiful!

"Well, let's go back then!"

Although Dao and Zhenren have some disagreement with Daoying Zhenren's decision, it is not easy to say anything about it. After all, the person who can really make decisions in the sect is his senior brother ---- Daoying Zhenren, and he is just an elder.

Dao and Majin carefully picked up the basket and returned with Dao Ying Ma. However, the child who was picked up by Dao and Zhenren gradually stopped crying.

"Senior brother, look, this kid is so close to you!"

At this time, Daoying Zhenren found that this child was a little clingy to his junior brother, and he couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart.

"yes!"

When he found that this child seemed to be very clingy to himself, the suspicions in Dao and Zhenren's original hearts scattered in an instant, turning into an elder's pity for the junior, just like Qinjiang back then.

However, the two who were about to return to Songxikou with their children had just stepped up the ten stone stairs when they saw Qin Jiang holding a few scrolls and the other three walking in their direction.

Although Qin Jiang looks very energetic, he has lost a lot of weight, presumably for the Tianzun array!

Although several people walked together, Qinjiang was clearly ahead of the others.

Several people came to the three steps in front of Daoying Zhenren and Daohe Zhenren, led by Qin Jiang, and knelt down one by one.

"Disciple Qinjiang, meet Master. ”

Qin Jiang held the scrolls in his hand high above his head and respectfully saluted Daoying Zhenren and Daohe Zhenren.

The rest of the people also saluted.

"Get up. ”

Doyoung Zhenren held Qin Jiang's elbow and told him to get up.

"Yes. ”

Several people said yes.

"How did you guys find here?"

Daoying Zhenren felt strange, how could they meet Qinjiang and them at the sect boundary monument at this time? Shouldn't they be practicing under Qinjiang's leadership at this time?

"Master Qiqi, the 'Tianzun Array' has been revised, and several disciples originally wanted to take the formation to the master for the purpose of Songxikou. But after arriving at the mouth of Songxi, the guard told us that the master was going to the cliff today. The only way to reach the cliff is this stone staircase that leads to the boundary monument. So, the disciple Qin Jiang led the disciples here to try their luck, but he didn't expect to meet the master and uncle. ”

Qin Jiang bowed his head and told the ins and outs of the matter.

"Oh, it's done, then quickly follow the old man back to Songxikou and take a closer look!"

This news really surprised Daoying Zhenren, who didn't have any mental preparation, how could this Qinjiang figure it out so quickly? I thought that with Qinjiang's qualifications, it would take more than a month to say the least, which is really surprising!

"Yes, Master. ”

Qin Jiang was quite proud of this, and his eyes also sparkled with brilliance.

"Senior brother, what should this kid do?"

Dao and Zhenren interjected a little inappropriately.

Those two people are "piano idiots", talking about music scores, guqin, I don't know what time it is.

But now there's a child under the age of one!

"Senior brother, why don't you go back to Songxikou with me first, and then discuss it after the 'Tianzun Array' has been dealt with. ”

Daoying Zhenren is now full of 'Heavenly Venerable Array', where can he still have the heart to care about a child?

"Yes. ”

Dao and Zhenren also think that Daoying Zhenren's method seems to be the only way at this moment. But I still couldn't help but silently discuss in my heart, my "piano idiot" brother. Really, when I encounter something related to the piano, I forget what my surname is and what my name is!

"Master, how can there be a child?"

Zhen Zheng, who had been holding back his speechlessness, was completely attracted by this child he hadn't seen yet, and couldn't help asking.

But obviously, Zhen Zheng, who speaks thoughtlessly, always misunderstands everyone.

"Hugh is talking nonsense! How can Master have children? Master is a cultivator, not a lay disciple, so how can he get married? Confused!"

At this moment, Qin Jiang reprimanded Zhen Zheng harshly.

In front of the public, regardless of dignity and inferiority, nonsense, what kind of system has it become?

"Senior brother taught me a lesson. ”

As soon as Qin Jiang reprimanded, Zhen Zheng immediately restrained his joke. After thinking silently for a moment, I suddenly felt that I had said something wrong.

"This child was picked up by me and your master at the boundary monument this morning, and it seems that the child's parents have encountered a difficult hurdle to overcome, so they sent the child to our sect, hoping to accept this child. ”

Dao and Zhenren saw that the atmosphere was a little stiff now, so they explained all this with a smile, hoping to solve Zhen Zheng's misunderstanding. But what Dao and Zhenren don't know is that Zhen Zheng is actually talking without brains.

"The disciple understands. Then bother Master and Uncle now, and move to Songxikou. ”

Qin Jiang was afraid that Zhen Zheng would be open-mouthed again, so this time he simply caught the words of Dao and Zhenren, so as not to make any ridiculous jokes about Zhen Zheng when he spoke thoughtlessly again.

Several people took their children under the age of one and quickly returned to the residence of Daoying Zhenren ---- Songxikou.

Coming to Daoying Zhenren's study, Qin Jiang presented the 'Tianzun Array', which he had finalized after several deletions and revisions, to Daoying Zhenren to see if there were any omissions so that he could revise them in time.

According to the chronological calculation, the next day happens to be an extremely cloudy day.

And this array of celestial deities starts from yin and ends up in yang, which happens to be a perfect match for the calendar, that is, the next day is the best day for retreat.

If you miss it, you'll have to wait another year.

Daoying Zhenren opened the scrolls brought by Qin Jiang one by one and examined them carefully, lest there be any shortcomings. If there is something negligent in the current self, it is very likely that it will be a catastrophe for them to Qinjiang. Originally, this song was very mysterious, and with the formation, it was even more powerful. Once you start cultivating, you can't stop, and if you stop, it's very likely that you will backfire, causing damage to Qinjiang's foundation. Even Daoying Zhenren, who has a very high cultivation, does not dare to slack off, he doesn't want to destroy the apprentice he is proud of.

Three hours later, Daoying Zhenren finally completed the screening.

"Well, there was nothing wrong with this formation, and you can cultivate with peace of mind. ”

Daoying Zhenren gave Qinjiang a reply with satisfaction.

"Yes, Master. ”

Hearing his master's affirmation, the excitement and pride in Qin Jiang's heart were intertwined. In the past half a month, my hard work has not been in vain.

"Jiang'er, when are you going to start the retreat?"

Daoying Zhenren couldn't help but ask Qin Jiang's next plan.

"Tomorrow. ”

Qin Jiang replied succinctly.

"Well, if you come one day later, I'm afraid you'll have to wait another year. ”

Daoying Zhenren is now even more proud of his disciple. In addition to spells, cultivation, music, and even the formation is so good.

"Ahh

Zhen Zheng, who realized that he had just said the wrong thing, took this opportunity to compliment Qin Jiang at this moment.

"Where? This is all due to Master's careful teachings in the past. ”

But Qin Jiang didn't like Zhen Zheng's set, how could the smart Qin Jiang not know Zhen Zheng's careful thoughts?

"Master, didn't you pick up a child, can we take a look?"

Hearing Qin Jiang's answer, Zhen Zheng knew that his remarks were not recognized by Qin Jiang.

So, I quickly changed the topic.

"Well, in the next room, the old man didn't know much about the child. Now that the matter of the circle is over, let's go and have a look. ”

Doyoung proposed.

"Yes, Master. ”

Several people responded together, and Zhen Zheng at this time immediately felt relieved.

As long as you divert your attention, you shouldn't care about what just happened~

Daoying Zhenren took his protégés to a room next to the study to see the child he had just picked up.

The four gentlemen of Jing Ting surrounded the child lying in the basket, and were very curious, how could the child look like this? Pink and tender, like the buds on the trees in spring, full of vitality. It is like the newborn sun, full of vitality.

Just when several people were curious about this baby, Qin Jiang was a little sad.

Since seeing this child, Qin Jiang has faintly felt that his left shoulder is slightly hot, as if a soldering iron is attached to his skin.

But other than that, there is nothing special about it.

Qin Jiang even felt that he had been too tired for nearly half a month, so that he had hallucinations.

In short, Qinjiang's first impression of this child was not very good. What's more, he was originally a domineering and ruthless character, and he really didn't have a good impression of this kind of troublesome child.

"Is the master planning to take this child in and become an apprentice?"

Xiao He liked this cute child very much, and hurriedly asked if the four brothers would add a little brother.

"Don't be anxious about this matter, wait until this child is older, look at the bones and make a decision. ”

Daoying Zhenren, who has always been strict in accepting apprentices, answered Xiao He's questions.

"Oh. ”

Xiao He responded, but there was some disappointment in his tone.

"Master, this is a talisman. From tomorrow onwards, the disciples will be in retreat, and I am afraid that they will not be able to share the worries of the master and the uncle, but will increase the trouble of the master and the uncle. Now the disciple returns the talisman to its original owner. ”

Qin Jiang gave a deep look at Daoying Zhenren, and his tone was full of sincerity.

Then he solemnly took a mahogany carved box from Zhen Di's hand, and there was a turquoise seal lying in the box. This seal is green all over, but there is a little milky white in the corner of the seal, which is a pretty jadeite. The upper part of the seal is carved with a lifelike tiger, which is firmly entrenched on the boxy base, looking at all directions, showing the spirit of a king. The bottom of the seal is engraved with the words "The Glory of the Jing Ting, Stretching for eternity" at the end of the official book.

This seal is a symbol of the power of the Jingting faction, see this symbol, such as the head himself. This talisman was also intentionally given to Qinjiang by Daoying Zhenren after Qinjiang completed his studies. Naturally, the mind of Daoying Zhenren is self-evident.

"The old man will keep it for you for the time being, and then give it to you on the day you leave the customs, how about it?"

Daoying Zhenren took the talisman and put it away.

"Master Xie is considerate. ”

Qin Jiang made a deep move.

"The training of this formation is very difficult. Don't take the sword sideways for the sake of refining, take risks, everything just let it be. ”

Doyoung Zhenren finally instructed a few words.

Actually, this is not to Qinjiang, Zhen Di said it, mainly to tell Xiao He and Zhen Zheng.

Qin Jiang and Zhen Di's temperament is calm like water, not impatient or impatient, and Daoying Zhenren is not worried about the two. And Xiao He and Zhen Zheng's anxious and innocent temperament made Daoying Zhenren quite worried. After all, this formation is so mysterious and changeable, if you are not careful, it is easy to deviate. But what is really terrible is not that they go astray, but that as long as one person goes astray, other people who are refining together will also follow astray unconsciously, and it is likely that everyone will be ruined at that time.

"Yes. ”

The four gentlemen of Jingting all responded solemnly and very much.

Three years later, the child named Shangguan Jue had grown a little.

As the saying goes: three years old looks young, seven years old looks old.

Now it's time to look at the bones of this child.

"Xiao Jue, come here. ”

Dao and Zhenren beckoned to Shangguan Jue, who was walking towards him, and called him to come to his side.

"Yes. ”

Shangguan Jue jumped up and down to Dao and Zhenren.

"Now go to a place with me. ”

Dao and Zhenren hugged Shangguan Jue in their arms.

"Is there sugar in that place?"

Shangguan Jue looked at Dao and Zhenren with blazing eyes, exuding the naughtiness of a child of his age.

"Hahaha~~~ Of course there is, do you want Xiao Jue to go with me?"

Dao and Zhenren stroked their white hair and laughed. This kid was so funny, and without asking what he was going to do, he began to ask for things he liked.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

As soon as he heard that there was candy to eat, Shangguan Jue immediately nodded, like a chicken pecking rice, with a big smile on his face. In the end, he also affectionately gave Dao and the real person a kiss.

"Let's go, then. ”

Dao and Zhenren do not reject Xiao Shangguan Jue's intimate actions.

For him, it is a very happy thing to have a child so affectionate to him all his life, and now he has a child who is so close to him.

Although he also regarded Qinjiang as his own children, after all, there was a strict hierarchical order among the sects, which was inviolable. Even if he and Qinjiang want to be close, they can't be too close because of their status in the sect and the relationship between them as uncles and nephews. And Shangguan Jue is neither a disciple of his Dao and Zhenren nor his senior brother Daoying Zhenren, nor is he a deacon disciple in the sect, so naturally he will not be bound by those rules and regulations, and he can be so close to himself.

This is what the Tao and the real people like to see.

When he came to the viewing platform of the douqin platform, Dao and Zhenren put Shangguan Jue down and held Shangguan Jue's little hand. Walk over to the table, pick up a candy, and crouch down.

"Xiao Jue, you see I didn't lie to you! Well, open your mouth!"

Dao and Zhenren smiled slightly, and fed a piece of candy into Shangguan Jue's mouth.

"Well, it's so sweet!"

Shangguan Jue, who only cared about eating sugar, was attracted by the sweet taste in his mouth and was very happy.

Where to know, this is ......

Soon, the sugar ran out, and Shangguan Jue also poured softly into Dao and Zhenren's arms.

"Senior brother, come out!"

Michi and the real person shouted at the screen behind the table.

As soon as the words fell, I saw a man with gorgeous hair and glory, dressed in a plain white moire brocade robe, walking out from behind the screen and pacing to Dao and Zhenren.

"Let's get started!"

Although Daoying Zhenren said in a calm tone, there was still a trace of nervousness in his heart, I really don't know what the roots of this child are?

The two of them, who had a tacit understanding, glanced at each other, and at the same time injected spiritual power into Shangguan Jue's body.

Then close your eyes and watch.

How do you know that this child, like Qinjiang, is also a genius who has practiced the guqin!!

This made Daoying Zhenren, who was still a little nervous, breathe a sigh of relief, it seems that God really treats himself well! Another gifted child has been sent, how can I Daoying Zhenren be virtuous? How much incense was burned in the previous life, only in this life can I have such a blessing, and I can add another good general to the Jingting faction!

It seems that this is all providence, to strengthen my Jingting faction!

However, Dao and Zhenren on the side were not very happy. In this way, wouldn't he have added another teacher and nephew?

"This son has good bones, I don't know what the senior brother is going to do?"

Dao and Zhenren tested Dao Ying's attitude, although he knew that his efforts were futile, but he still had a trace of luck. What if the senior brother doesn't want to accept him?

"The secret of heaven must not be revealed!"

However, Daoying Zhenren pretended to smile mysteriously, making it impossible to guess his thoughts.

It wasn't until four years later that the mystery was revealed......
