Chapter 31: The Four Senior Brothers

The two came to the room in the center of the pavilion and saw the girl's master, Suhua Zhenren, the only woman among the five immortals of Xuanmen. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Lu Xiaoyuan saw that there were a few wrinkles on the face of this Suhua real person, and he seemed to be not young, but he called his master a senior brother, and he felt quite strange in his heart. He didn't know that the Shenglang faction was ranked high and low according to the early and late entrances, although Su Hua was old, the entry was later than Qinghua Zhenren, so he was ranked behind Qinghua.

The Shenglang sect does not prohibit disciples from marrying, but after becoming a family, disciples must live in a retreat at the foot of the mountain, and family members are not allowed to go up the mountain without permission, so as not to interfere with the practice of the disciples on the mountain. Suhua Zhenren and his disciples were all women, unmarried, and they lived with men on Shenglang Mountain, practiced very strictly, and rarely interacted with disciples of other branches. Zihua Zhenren set a rule that disciples of other branches were not allowed to enter the Huijun Pavilion without permission. The one who returns to the monarch means "the gentleman has turned back here", who would have expected that today he broke into Lu Xiaoyuan's "prodigal son".

When Suhua Zhenren heard that Lu Xiaoyuan claimed to be a disciple of Qinghua Zhenren, he sent a disciple to Tianzhu Peak to inquire, and after a while, the four disciples came in a hurry, tired and out of breath.

After he adjusted his breathing, he told his uncle what happened, and Su Hua Zhenren knew that Lu Xiaoyuan's invasion of Huijun Pavilion was not intentional, so he did not delve into Lu Xiaoyuan's mistakes. I thought that Shouchang was young and shallow, and he didn't think much about doing things, but today's misunderstanding, it can be said that most of the responsibility is his, but he reprimanded Shouchang.

Shou often took Lu Xiaoyuan to leave and return to the Jun Pavilion, complaining to Lu Xiaoyuan along the way, blaming himself for not thinking about it for a while, and saying that Lu Xiaoyuan should not walk around, walking all the way and talking all the way, the other Taoists on the road can hear it clearly, three passes and two passes, almost everyone in the entire Shenglang Mountain knows it.

When the two returned to the room, it was already dark, and when they opened the door, they found three young Taoists waiting for them in the house.

Lu Xiaoyuan saluted the four of them and reported their names, except for Shoubai and Shouchang, the two of them shouted: "Ah! I have heard that the person who broke into the Huijun Pavilion today and was caught on the spot by Senior Sister (Sister) of Ning Si turned out to be Senior Brother, I am fortunate to have it!"

"Senior brother really dare to act, the senior sister and sister in the Pavilion are beautiful? Tomorrow, the junior brother will go to Jindanfeng to have a look, come back and tell us about the situation inside, let us also open our eyes." Ha ha. Lu Xiaoyuan's face was red to the base of his neck, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.

Because Shouchang was already familiar with Lu Xiaoyuan, he stepped forward to introduce the other two senior brothers to him, but a Taoist pushed Shouchang away and said, "Fourth junior brother, let me tell me!" Shouchang and the other two saw that this Taoist was about to come to introduce, so they sat down on the bed and chair, closed their eyes and recuperated, and didn't say a word.

This Taoist had a long face, a pair of big eyes were bright, and he only heard him point to the high Dao man and began to introduce: "This is the master's eldest disciple, Senior Brother Shouxiong, he learned the first martial art of our Shenglang Sect in two years, "Five Dragons Breaking Demon Seal", and became a Xuan-rank martial artist. Of course, at that time, I hadn't entered the Shenglang faction, he was a senior brother, of course he started earlier than me, this is what he told me, I don't know if it's true or not, unless I get started before him, I don't know the truth, if that's the case, then wouldn't I become a senior brother. “

Shouxiong glared at him and said, "What is really fake, when have I ever deceived someone!"

The man smiled and said: "Yes, yes, senior brother is not a person who speaks falsely, what he says is naturally true, how can it be false." The elder brother has a bold temperament, is righteous, and has never told a lie, at least I haven't seen him lie since I started, before I started, then I don't know, naturally I can't talk nonsense, or I won't become a person who speaks falsely?" Shouxiong snorted and ignored him again.

Lu Xiaoyuan listened to this senior brother rambling for a long time, and his head hurt a little, and then he knew why the three senior brothers closed their eyes and meditated and didn't listen to him. I thought that this senior brother talked so much, he must have been a dumb person in his previous life, and he had to finish the words of his previous life together in this life, and maybe he was also dumb in his previous life, and he couldn't help but think of this.

Seeing that this senior brother's lips were slightly open, and it seemed that he was about to speak again, Lu Xiaoyuan hurriedly interrupted: "Senior brother, you have been talking for a long time, and you have worked hard, let the fourth senior brother talk about it." The Taoist hadn't said enough, but Lu Xiaoyuan had already spoken, so he sat aside and said, "Well, okay, fourth junior brother, then you can talk about it, and you can talk about it." "The face is full of unfinished color.

Shouchang got up and introduced Shoubai to Lu Xiaoyuan: "This is your second senior brother, you know him, he was born in a scholarly family, is taciturn, and doesn't like to talk." However, his attainments in swordsmanship, looking at Shenglang, few people can match it. Lu Xiaoyuan remembered that Shoubai hated to just gesture when he talked to him during the day, and felt that it was really the case.

Shou Chang pointed at the verbose Taoist again: "This is your third senior brother, Shou Rong, what is he...... You just saw it!" Lu Xiaoyuan smiled silently, and asked Shouchang again: "What about you, Fourth Senior Brother, I don't know what kind of character you are!"

Shou Chang's face was slightly red, and he disguised: "What's this... Well.... Ahem...."Like a child who has caused trouble outside, he hasn't said a word for a long time. Shourong on the side couldn't help but say: "He, he is just timid, he was thirteen years old when he entered the Shenglang Sect, the master asked him to sleep by himself, his eyes were full of tears, saying that he was afraid that he would not be able to sleep in the dark, and asked the master to place him and a senior brother in a room, haha!"

Lu Xiaoyuan knew why Shouchang wanted to put the bed in his room at this moment, and he couldn't help laughing out loud. Shouchang's face swelled even redder, and when he saw Shourong revealing his old background, he said indignantly: "Master asked me to sleep with you that day, and you nagged all night, but I still didn't fall asleep! The next day I slept with the senior brother, and the senior brother didn't stop snoring, so I had to quietly go to the second senior brother's room and spend the night. ”

Shourong said: "I saw that you were afraid, so I wanted to talk to you, I was afraid that you would ....."

Shoubai suddenly stood up and interrupted, "It's not early, don't be verbose." Then he walked straight out the door without looking back. When Shourong saw the second senior brother speak, he didn't say more, and beckoned Shouxiong and said, "Senior brother, let's go back too." Shouxiong didn't speak, shouted a few times, Shouxiong still sat still, Lu Xiaoyuan was curious, stepped forward and pushed Shouxiong, Shouxiong suddenly fell on the bed, and had fallen asleep soundly.

Lu Xiaoyuan couldn't cry or laugh for a while, Shourong and Shouchang seemed to be accustomed to Shouxiong's behavior, and they had long been surprised. Shourong sighed and said, "We have to carry him back, the second senior brother saw the opportunity so quickly, he may have already reached this point, right?"

Shouchang and Lu Xiaoyuan were also helpless, and the three of them worked together to carry Shouxiong back to the room. Shouxiong's room was the farthest away from Lu Xiaoyuan's room, carrying Shouxiong, who weighed more than 160 pounds, to his room, making the three of them tired and panting, but Shouxiong slept very peacefully, until the three of them left his room, and the snoring did not stop.

Early the next morning, Shouchang woke Lu Xiaoyuan up from his dream, and Lu Xiaoyuan put on his robe almost half-asleep and went to the morning class with his brothers. The morning class of all Taoists is held in Zixiao Palace, reciting Taoist classics: "Lao Tzu", "Zhou Yi" and "Yellow Emperor's Neijing".

Qinghua Zhenren walked to Lu Xiaoyuan's side, and when he saw Lu Xiaoyuan dumbfounded at the scriptures, he knew that he didn't know much about reading, and immediately ordered Shoubai to teach Lu Xiaoyuan to read and write. Yesterday, Qinghua already knew about Lu Xiaoyuan's mistake in returning to the Jun Pavilion, but it was just a misunderstanding, so he didn't mention it again, but he didn't plan to let Shouchang take Lu Xiaoyuan with him.

Shouchang was the youngest disciple under Qinghua Zhenren before, and it was the master and brother who taught him on weekdays, and he had long wanted to try the taste of being a senior brother, and now he finally came to a Lu Xiaoyuan, of course he had to do his duty as a senior brother, seeing that Qinghua did not let him teach Lu Xiaoyuan, he begged Qinghua Zhenren bitterly, squeezed out a few tears, and patted his chest to promise that he would definitely teach Lu Xiaoyuan well. Seeing him such a scoundrel, Qinghua Zhenren couldn't do anything, so he had to agree.

Shou Chang was elated, and even jumped and took Lu Xiaoyuan to a secluded place outside the hall, took out a copy of "Thousand Character Text" from his arms, put it in front of Lu Xiaoyuan, straightened his clothes, and said: "Senior Brother Lu, Master wants me to teach you to read and write, I must fulfill my responsibilities as a senior brother, and you must not live up to the teachings of Master and Senior Brother." Lu Xiaoyuan saw that he looked solemn, and nodded solemnly.

Shou Chang was very satisfied with Lu Xiaoyuan's reaction, opened the scroll, and began to teach "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang, Universe Flood". Lu Xiaoyuan listened carefully at first, but in less than a moment, he felt bored, and his heart flew out of the clouds. After a while, I glanced at the pair of butterflies that flew by, and then I remembered the story of Liang Zhu told by the storyteller before, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai finally turned into butterflies and flew together, could it be these two? Shou saw that he looked attentive, and said that he was fascinated by learning, shaking his head and shaking his head, and reading it very energetically. The two of them had their own pleasures.

After the morning class, everyone went to the dining room to eat. Although the Shenglang sect is a Taoist door, but can not help but be fishy, Yuezhou has a warm climate, abundant products, plus there are many pilgrims and believers, and there are a lot of incense money, so the meals of three meals a day are much better than other Taoist temples, beef, sausages, bamboo shoots, dragon gourd, fresh and tender and delicious. Lu Xiaoyuan often can't eat enough food when he wanders the rivers and lakes, but now the food is enough and delicious, and he is satisfied.

After breakfast, everyone has something to do. For Lu Xiaoyuan, a beginner disciple, there are a lot of chores waiting for him: chopping wood, carrying water, and purchasing..... behind the residence of the disciples of Tianzhu Peak is a forest, which is extremely wide, and the more you go inside, the older the tree becomes, Lu Xiaoyuan stood outside the forest and even saw the towering ancient trees in the depths. Tianzhu Peak was already close to the clouds, and those towering ancient trees were even taller, as if they had reached the heavenly realm. The disciples of Shenglang cut wood on the periphery of the woods, and after cutting it, they sent it to the Jixiang kitchen and handed it over to the steward.
