At ten o'clock in the middle of the night, everyone was already asleep, Zhou Qing quietly got up from the bed, and then walked into the bamboo forest outside the compound.

"Although the Shadowless Technique is not a superior martial art, if it is practiced well, it is enough for me to improve my light skills a lot. ”

Zhou Qing took advantage of the fact that no one could see it now, so he quietly practiced his shadowless technique that had been abandoned for a period of time. Now that he has entered the Golden Bamboo Gate, it is not difficult to learn more advanced martial arts than the Shadowless Technique.

But Zhou Qing didn't want to give up, he had also seen Xue Baisheng's martial arts, and with the kind of martial arts of the Shadowless Technique, it was enough to walk the rivers and lakes. In Tianping County, there are few opponents.

As for Xue Baisheng's claim that he is the first person in Taiping County, Zhou Qing feels that it should be exaggerated. On that day, Xue Baisheng's blood qi was retrograde, and he was completely beaten by Zhou Ke and was powerless.

Even if Xue Baisheng was in his heyday, it was estimated that he could barely match Zhou Ke.

But Zhou Ke is still young, only in his early twenties.

Zhou Qing sat tightly in the bamboo forest, he precipitated the chaotic mood in the daytime, and exhaled and exhaled deeply......

After regulating his breathing, Zhou Qing began to move. He was on a stone with one foot, like a crane standing alone. On tiptoe, the whole body leaped up and jumped into the air at the height of a thousand feet.

When you kick on the bamboo, the whole bamboo trembles wildly, and the bamboo leaves are scattered all over the ground.

Zhou Qing originally wanted to use the help to match his speed and body technique to keep stepping on the top of the bamboo, but his body suddenly couldn't bear the strength and fell to the ground with a pop.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

This fall is not light, if it weren't for Zhou Qing's fall, he used his palm power to cushion it, and it is estimated that he would have fainted.

"Is it still too reluctant?"

Zhou Qing exhaled deeply, and turned his original foot strength cultivation to his waist. He was weak in mid-air, because his waist could not use the strength.

I don't know how long it took to practice, Zhou Qing chose to go back to the house to sleep.

After dawn, the bamboo is cut down as usual. Zhou Qing did not use tricks, but cut down like everyone else.

The firewood knife was sharpened by him, revealing the coldness of the forest, and the knife fell today, which was cleaner and neater than yesterday. Zhou Qing didn't know if it was because of the effect that he had brought to himself by practicing the Shadowless Technique at night, or because after experiencing yesterday, his sword technique had become a lot more numb.

When he was eating in the canteen at the foot of the mountain at noon, Zhou Qing noticed that Situ Lie and Huang Dan'er were actually missing.

He always felt that these two wanted to do something to him, and Gao Liang had reminded him yesterday.

After a long time, when everyone was ready to rest, they saw Situ Lie and Huang Dan'er appear. When the two came back, their faces were somewhat joyful.

Zhou Qing lowered his head, sat in the dining hall and glanced at it, and at this time, Situ Lie actually looked at it too. After a brief collision between his eyes, Zhou Qing continued to rest quietly.

When the time came, everyone dispersed from the canteen and walked towards their respective work positions.

Zhou Qing still had less than twenty bundles of bamboo left, and for him, it was only a matter of less than two hours. These two hours passed quickly, and the sun was still some time away from setting, and Zhou Qing was one of the first few people to cut it, ready to go and report the number of bamboos and leave.

After the senior brother who patrolled the mountain came to count for a while, he let Zhou Qing leave. When it got dark, many of the disciples returned to the compound.

Today is the yellow egg to get dinner, and it is very early, and it is much more diligent than everyone else. Zhou Qing was also thinking, this yellow egg was too greedy.

Compared to the previous two days, today was not very hungry, and everyone entered the dining hall.

Situ Lie appeared a little later, and he sat with Huang Dan'er, talking and laughing. Just as everyone was halfway through dinner, the two second-generation disciples walked into the courtyard.

One of them is Senior Brother Song who arranged for Zhou Qing to stay in the Eighth Mountain. Senior Brother Song walked into the dining hall with a pleasant face and spoke lightly to everyone.

"Fellow juniors, how are you doing lately?"

"Thank you brother for your care, I'm still fine!"

All the disciples responded in unison, but Zhou Qing was silent and did not speak. Senior Brother Song naturally noticed Zhou Qing, but in front of so many people, he didn't show any anger.

"The junior brothers eat and drink well, the weather has been dry recently, and the senior brothers have checked the mountains a little more frequently. Do not hide anything that you are not allowed to take with you in this mountain, or you will be punished severely. ”

Senior Brother Song's big chubby face showed a greasy smile.

"Thank you for your advice, the disciples understand!"

Situ Lie said with his fists clasped at Senior Brother Song, then stood up and walked in front of Senior Brother Song.

"Senior brother, this is a Ganoderma lucidum that the disciple picked up during the break a few days ago, and specially handed it over to the senior brother to report to the sect!"

Situ Lie bent down, held a small Lingzhi in both hands and handed it to Senior Brother Song.

Senior Brother Song nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes, Senior Brother Situ has a heart, and the sect will remember your efforts. ”

Seeing this, the other disciples also came up, and some took out the belongings sent by their parents, saying that they had picked them up in the mountains. In this barren mountain range, where can there be any money to be picked up?

There were also people who found some more valuable herbs from the mountains and gave them to Senior Brother Song.

Even Gao Liang and Wen Bing are no exception, the two of them have no money, so they gave a yellow essence together.

Among them, only Zhou Qing didn't have any gifts. Senior Brother Song glanced at Zhou Qing a few more times, and then praised the disciples.

After a while, another senior brother also finished checking the room, and there were a few greetings outside, and Senior Brother Song said a few polite words to all the disciples, and left in a hurry.

When Senior Brother Song walked to the gate of the courtyard, he suddenly seemed to remember something, so he stopped. With another senior brother, he came back again.

"I just forgot to compensate the new junior brother Qin Zhou. ”

Senior Brother Song took out a string of copper coins from the money bag on his waist, and then put it in Zhou Qing's hand.

"Senior Brother Qin Zhou, I arranged you to come to the Eighth Mountain before, but there is really no place for the Sixth Mountain. This is something that Senior Brother didn't handle well before, don't blame Senior Brother Song in your heart.

You can take the thirty dollars. Every month, the senior brother comes down the mountain, and you can drag the senior brother down the mountain to bring you some things you need for life. ”

Zhou Qing was stunned all of a sudden, he always thought that it was because he did not honor Senior Brother Song that he would be arranged in the broken courtyard of the Eighth Mountain. I didn't expect that I would spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Song! Qin Zhou thinks that this Eighth Mountain is very good, and there is no need for Senior Brother Song to compensate for it. ”

Zhou Qing's previous resentment disappeared completely, but he had a little more affection for Senior Brother Song.

"Hey, junior brother, aren't you still complaining about senior brother? If you don't accept this money, then senior brother will send it to your bedside. ”

"Senior Brother Song, I can't ask for this money!"

Zhou Qing's attitude was very resolute, and Gao Liang couldn't help but sigh that Zhou Qing was a lot more sensible.

"You kid!"

Senior Brother Song pointed at Zhou Qing happily, and then took the string of copper coins and slapped it on the head of Zhou Qing's bed.

"I put down this money, what to do with it, that's your Qin Zhou's business!"

Although Senior Brother Song didn't have much strength to shoot it, there was still something that was photographed by Senior Brother Song.

Everyone looked at it, and what fell to the ground was actually a roll of tobacco!

"Hmm!"

Senior Brother Song's expression immediately changed greatly, and a chill appeared on Situ Lie's face, and he immediately rushed forward and uncovered Zhou Qing's sheets.

Under Zhou Qing's sheets, there were not only a few rolls of tobacco, but also flints.

On the back mountain, it has always been forbidden for disciples to hide flint and tobacco privately. This is not because the sect does not allow disciples to smoke dirt cigarettes, but because the back mountains are all bamboo forests, which are prone to fire.

Once a mountain fire breaks out, it will be a crisis to the foundation of the entire Jinzhumen!

The disciples outside the door all held their breath, and the smile on Senior Brother Song's face stopped abruptly, he picked up the tobacco and flint on the ground, and then walked in front of Zhou Qing.

"Where did you get this?"

"Senior Brother Song, Qin Zhou doesn't have a love for smoking. ”

Wen Bingxiang immediately opened his mouth to defend Zhou Qing, but who expected that the other senior brother would pull up with a backhand.

"Shut up without asking you!"

The senior brother also looked at Zhou Qing extremely fiercely, and his eyes looked over the other disciples.

"I thought that you Eighth Mountain was honest, and your ward rounds just now were also casual, but I didn't expect that someone in your disciple had secretly hidden tobacco and flint, and such a big thing was still hidden from us.

Do you want to share the burden for him?"

"Two senior brothers, we don't know that Qin Zhou is secretly hiding such forbidden things. If you want to blame, blame Qin Zhou for being dishonest, and his expression just now was very empty. ”

Situ Lie lowered his head and clenched his fists and said, and layers of cold sweat also broke out on his forehead. He didn't expect that after Zhou Qing found flint and tobacco on his bed, it would actually endanger the disciples in the entire room.

Senior Brother Song lifted Zhou Qing's collar and stared at Zhou Qing's pupils with a pair of eyes.

"There are only a few rules on this mountain, don't tell me you don't know. ”

"I know, since this thing was found on my bed, whether it is mine or not, the responsibility is borne by me, and it has nothing to do with other senior brothers!"

Zhou Qing said without any cowardice.

"Senior Brother Song, Qin Zhou was unintentional, since there was no accident, please give Qin Zhou a light punishment!"

Gao Liang immediately knelt on the ground and pleaded for Zhou Qing emotionally.

"Unintentionally, the door rules are there, can he be unintentional? If he is let go, the next Qin Zhou will make trouble.

Just nine years ago, a disciple burned half of the courtyard on the top of the mountain.

We can't afford to take this kind of thing lightly!"

Senior Brother Song snorted coldly, he pushed Zhou Qing away, and then took the string of copper coins back.

"I'm going to report this matter to the sect, you stinky boy is waiting to be expelled from the mountain gate!"
