Chapter 10: The Real Gap (5)

After many days...... The triennial Wanguan Conference has come to a successful end, and the life of Siyunguan has returned to its former peace.

After the morning exercise, Duan Xiyun was introduced into the inner room by Jinping alone to speak.

The simple inner room is a little dim due to lack of light, and there is silence everywhere in the simplicity, and there are only two people here, Jin Ping and Duan Xiyun.

"Zhenwu and Siyun were defeated in the hands of the disciple, which directly affected Siyunguan and failed to achieve a complete victory at this Wanguan Conference, and the disciple was unable to live up to the high expectations of the master and asked the master to punish him. ”

At first, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was strange, Duan Xiyun guessed in his heart that the master was going to severely punish himself for the defeat at the Wanguan Conference, so he spoke first to break the silence.

Since the battle of the Xia family, Duan Xiyun has always taken all the responsibility on himself.

"You lost to someone else, but Shangguan Rui, how can you be half blamed as a teacher. ”

Jin Ping saw that Duan Xiyun still had a guilty look between his eyebrows, and comforted him.

Duan Xiyun was relieved to hear that the master didn't blame him, and at the same time, a question arose, that is, what was the matter with being passed into the inner room by the master alone at this moment?

When Duan Xiyun hesitated, Jin Ping continued: "Shangguan Rui is indeed a rare genius in the cultivation world for a hundred years, but in the past two years of observation as a teacher, I have found that your talent is definitely not lower than him, and the biggest gap between you is over time. Two years ago, you only came into my Siyun Temple at the age of thirteen, and I heard that Shangguan Rui began to cultivate from his grandfather at the age of three, and in terms of time, there was a difference of ten years. And you can achieve the current cultivation in just two years, which is beyond the reach of other mediocre disciples, so you don't need to worry too much about this failure. ”

"Thank you, master, for lifting up. ”

Jin Ping's words made Duan Xiyun's hazy heart reveal a glimmer of light, because he had never thought of these things in the depths, and at this moment he found that the gap between himself and Shangguan Rui was not so big.

"To get back to the point, the purpose of the teacher calling you here is to talk to you about another matter. ”

Duan Xiyun let go of his ups and downs and listened intently to Jinping's words.

"If you want to climb higher, you must set a farther goal for yourself, and your opponent is Shangguan Rui, and the goal is already ambitious enough. Once you have a goal, it's more important to have a simpler and more suitable doorway. Siyunguan is blessed to have a talented and intelligent disciple like you, and with your ability, you will be able to shine on the lintel in the future, so that Siyunguan will enter an unprecedented state of prosperity. But as a teacher, you can't be too selfish, and you can't be buried in this little view of thinking. As a teacher and Kunlun Shaoyang Palace's Yinjing Zhenren is a close friend, now decided to repair a letter to recommend you to study there, I have heard that Kunlun Mountain Shaoyang Palace has always been thirsty for talent, now you have a talent, Shaoyang will gladly accept. You must know that in today's world, only Shaoyang can keep pace with Wenshi, and only Shaoyang can better play your talents. ”

When Jinping said this, there was inevitably a trace of pity in his heart.

"Shaoyang Palace"

The shock of the three words in Duan Xiyun's head seemed to be a thunderclap on a sunny day, and he said in his heart: "This is the place where Ziyang's only opponent in his life learns the art of the three Qing people, and it is the place that all cultivators dream of. ”

But this place was too unfamiliar to him, and he was a little resistant in his heart: "The disciple has not repaid the master's teachings, how can he leave here, and besides, cultivation can be anywhere, why do you have to go to Shaoyang, the disciple is reluctant to everyone, reluctant to think about the clouds." ”

"Back then, the teacher and Yinjing Zhenren also regarded each other as opponents, chasing each other and competing with each other, but unfortunately the teacher's qualifications were limited and could only be achieved today, and it was always inferior to Yinjing's regret in his life. You are different from being a teacher, you have a unique talent, if you can practice diligently in Shaoyang Palace, you will definitely be able to surpass Shangguan Rui in the future!"

Jin Ping couldn't help but be emotional when he saw that his disciple was telling the truth, but he was thinking about Duan Xiyun's future wholeheartedly, and he couldn't shake his decision in the slightest.

"But I really want to stay in Siyunguan. ”

Duan Xiyun was always reluctant.

["Xiaoyun, this seat feels that Jinping has a unique point of view, and if you force yourself to stay in Siyun Temple, it will only limit your entry. Don't waste Jinping's painstaking efforts, promise him to go to Shaoyang, maybe it is really as he said that Shaoyang Palace is a more suitable place for you. ”

Ziyang couldn't help but boil all over his body when he heard Jin Ping's words, his surprise and joy were far above Duan Xiyun, because he didn't expect to have the opportunity to go up to the place where Sanqing learned art by chance, and check what happened to Sanqing after the first battle of Mount Tai?

It's a pity that Duan Xiyun didn't bother to pay attention to his words.

"A manly husband should be decisive and resolute in doing things, don't let your mother-in-law drag the mud and water, if you don't want Shangguan Rui to look down on you, you must go to Shaoyang Palace." ”

Jin Ping's gentle gaze deliberately pretended to be cold and stern, and he had to be ruthless for the sake of his disciple's life.

"The disciple will live up to the high expectations of the master. ”

Duan Xiyun heard "Shangguan Rui"

In the name, I couldn't help but recall the eyes of Shangguan Rui on the martial platform of the Wanguan Conference, it was not that I couldn't afford it, but that I didn't have my own existence at all.

His gaze and gaze suddenly became firm, and he agreed to this at once, and then his mood turned very complicated, and he didn't know what to say for a while to thank Jinping for his kindness, just kowtowed desperately.

"That's very good, for the teacher will repair a letter to inform your parents, hurry back and clean up the softness, and three days later, Senior Brother Jin Ming will lead you to Kunlun with you. Step aside. ”

Jin Ping waved his sleeves to pass away.

Duan Xiyun kowtowed three more times and walked out of the inner room.

Jin Ping was the only one left in the inner room, and the room was restored to its original silence, and he muttered to himself: "Yun'er, I hope you can understand the painstaking work of being a teacher, go to Shaoyang Palace......"

Duan Xiyun suddenly felt a trace of emptiness in his heart when he left the room, because he was about to leave this already familiar place, and there were familiar close friends and familiar brothers and sisters, this feeling was like when he heard his father say that he was going to send himself to Siyunguan two years ago, this young heart felt lonely, and the words that he asked two years ago sounded again: "Ziyang, you will always be by my side, right?"

"Of course, because without your support, this seat may no longer be able to exist in this world, and besides, you kid does things without thinking and acting arbitrarily, so how can people rest assured. ”

In the past two years, Duan Xiyun has become accustomed to having Ziyang by his side, whether it is sad or happy, he always accompanies him, always reminds and guides, and is also a teacher and friend, and the two have accumulated a deep relationship unconsciously.

This kind of warmth like duckweed drifting in the vast sea to rely on once again ignited in Duan Xiyun's heart...... Duan Xiyun came out of the martial arts training ground, and Yan Shan and Qing Shi were already waiting here.

"Ever since you were selected to prepare for the Wanguan Conference, you no longer have to work as a helper in the kitchen, and now the conference has come to an end. Today it happens to be the turn of the three of us to go to the kitchen for duty, and this time you have no special treatment and can only obediently go to the kitchen with us to do chores. ”

Cao Qingshi has indeed been with Duan Xiyun so equally and happily for a long, long time, and there is indescribable joy in her heart.

"I almost forgot about it, so let's go help in the kitchen. ”

Duan Xiyun had put all his mind on concentrating on cultivation throughout the year, and he had indeed put down what he had been accustomed to doing chores in the kitchen.

Now that the Wanguan Conference has ended, you can relax the tense mood that has been waiting for you and return to your ordinary life, and there is a feeling of being completely unloaded from the burden of thousands of pounds on your shoulders, and you can't help but enjoy it.

What's more, at this moment, he was finally able to get together with his childhood sweetheart's two friends, and put down the annoying things for the time being, so he took the hands of the two and walked straight to the kitchen with brisk steps.

When I came to this place that I hadn't set foot in for about a year, the doorway was simple and the smoke curled as usual.

Duan Xiyun recalled all the scenes of the three of them coming to Siyun at the beginning and even growing up bit by bit against the scenes, and sighed in his heart.

"You three little guys, every time you do something, you procrastinate and make the old way wait here. ”

Shi Bo Jincheng complained, but his eyes were full of relief, the ignorant boy who was the most foolish and lazy two years ago is now the leading proud disciple of Siyun Temple, and he is very emotional.

"Uncle Shi is not the first or fifteenth day of the new year, and it is not the procurement day, where are you going?"

Yan Shan saw that Jin Cheng was ready for a flatbed truck and looked like he was going out, and he had doubts in his heart.

"It's just to go to purchase, I don't know that your new disciples have a good appetite and eat a lot, and the food that was originally expected to be half a month was eaten by you in advance. ”

Jin Cheng complained again.

The three of them didn't bother to study this matter, but they were all full of joy when they heard that they could go down the mountain together for a long-lost shopping and play.

So the four of them went down the mountain together.

Along the way, Baiyun Mountain is still pleasant, Duan Xiyun, who has not tasted this kind of relaxed and comfortable feeling for a long time, has a kind of relaxed and pleasant heart, and talks with Qingshi and Yanshan about everything, laughing and talking.

"Uncle Shi is in a good mood today, and I will allow you to sit on the flatbed, but don't forget to repay you with a pot or two of fine wine. ”

Jin Chengguan Duan Xiyun has lost his previous naughty mischief, and there is a little more tenacity and emotion in the depths of his eyes, which is exactly the expression of his growth.

"Thank you, uncle. ”

The three of them honestly and unceremoniously got on the wooden car, this scene is still the same as two years ago, Cao Qingshi is secretly happy in her heart because the friendship between the three has not changed in the slightest due to time and cultivation.

The four of them passed through the town, the streets were still familiar and lively, and the shopkeeper's call was still enthusiastic, but when they passed by Yulang's tofu stall, that touch of the scene reminded people of Yu'er's innocent pink face, which aroused a trace of guilt and sadness in Duan Xiyun's heart.

As for the matter of going to Shaoyang Palace, Duan Xiyun wanted to find an opportunity to say it along the way, but it was always difficult to say it, because he saw the joy of Qingshi and Yanshan because of the reunion, and he didn't want this joy to be wiped out by the sadness of parting.

And Cao Qingshi is a thoughtful girl and grew up with Duan Xiyun, how can she not see her heart, and asked: "Xiaoyun, I felt that you seemed to be thinking about it from just now, what is the matter?

"That's right, even if you have something on your mind, don't you already regard us as close friends?"

When Lin Yanshan spoke, he used his strong and strong arms, which had been trained in the past two years, to firmly tie Duan Xiyun's head and neck.

"No, the so-called banquet that is inseparable in the world, I just suddenly wondered if the friendship between the three of us would be as deep as it is now after the three of us parted for many years. ”

Duan Xiyun asked intriguingly.

"Absolutely. ”

Qingshi and Yanshan rushed out without thinking.

"Thank you. ”

Duan Xiyun was infinitely moved when he heard this.

"We still need to say this kind of stupid thing between us, every time we get into a big disaster, you will stand up and take all the blame on you, I will never forget these things, the three of us will always be good friends. ”

Lin Yanshan said and stretched out his right palm.

"Yes, good friends forever and forever. ”

Duan Xiyun and Cao Qingshi also stretched out their palms, and the three palms were tightly clasped together, and the friendship between them was also deeply superimposed and firmly bonded.

Jin Cheng and Ziyang, who were on the side, saw that the three of them had a deep friendship, and couldn't help but recall their childhood friends, although they were no longer there, but the two knew that their childhood friends were lifelong friends, and the corners of their mouths showed smiles that became happy because of sweet memories.
