"Woohoo!"

"Squeak squeak!"

The barking of dogs and the screams of monkeys are intertwined, echoing in the Dazhu Peak of Qingyun Mountain, breaking the silence here. Zhang Xiaofan rushed out of the kitchen door with the black sè burning stick in his hand and was furious: "Dead dog! Dead monkey!

The monkey Little Ash swooped onto the back of the big yellow dog, and the rhubarb, which had already gathered momentum, spread out his four feet and ran, Zhang Xiaofan couldn't catch up, and watched Little Ash grimace and put a fragrant meat bone into Rhubarb's mouth.

Rhubarb was so excited that if it weren't for the two rows of teeth to bite the flesh and bones, I was afraid that the dog's teeth would have fallen out with laughter.

"Hoo ......"

Zhang Xiaofan walked back to the kitchen with a depressed and indignant face. Since he was 14 years old, he was in charge of the kitchen, which impressed everyone, and Rhubarb, with his "Taoist old dog" behavior, couldn't help but covet the delicacy in Zhang Xiaofan's hands, especially the meat and bones that Zhang Xiaofan used to make soup, fragrant and delicious, and it was Rhubarb's dream meal.

However, Zhang Xiaofan's soup is rhubarb for people to drink, although the "age" is big (Tian is not easy to raise since childhood), and the qualifications are even older, but he does not get the treatment he deserves, and he often salivates but cannot get it.

It wasn't until he became familiar with the monkey Xiaoshen that Da Zhufeng often appeared in that scene, which lasted for two years, no matter how secret Zhang Xiaofan hid the meat and bones, as long as he had the rhubarb nose and the flexibility of Xiao Ash, this battle of meat and bones often ended in Zhang Xiaofan's defeat.

Two years have passed in a hurry, in fact, it is a year and a half, Zhang Xiaofan has grown into a sixteen-year-old boy, his body is taller, and now he is half a head taller than his senior sister Tian Ling'er.

During this period of time, because of Tian Buyi's strict order at the beginning, all the disciples of Dazhufeng were closed to penance, except for the sixth Du Bishu, who traveled down the mountain, only Zhang Xiaofan, the chef, was the most idle.

In the past two years, without anyone paying attention, Zhang Xiaofan has been practicing alone, but what he himself does not believe is that according to the method taught to him by his senior brother Song Daren, it only took him one year to practice, and it seems that he has completed the second layer of the Jade Qing Realm, Qi refining.

He had doubts in his heart, but after all, he didn't ask Tian Buyi, and Song Daren, Tian Ling'er and others had been concentrating on practicing behind closed doors, and they had no time to take care of other affairs and his best Du Bishu went down the mountain again, so he only hid this question in his heart.

But then there was a big difficult thing in front of him, Tian Ling'er privately gave him the third layer of the method, he knew very well that this was a big violation of the rules, but every time he stood alone in the small courtyard in the middle of the night and looked up at the night sky, he would think of a sentence - no matter how much you practice, it is not better than Senior Brother Qi Hao!

Ten nights later, he began to practice the third level of the Dharma!

The first to third layers of the Jade Qing Realm in the Taiji Xuanqing Dao are the foundation of all techniques, and the difficulty is also gradually deepening, which is different from the first two layers of "Qi Induction" and "Qi Refining", but the third layer of the method "Yuan Qi" has focused on cultivating Tai Chi Yuan Qi.

Fa Jueyun: "Tai Chi Yuan Qi Han three into one." The beginning of the Yuan also runs in the Twelfth Chen...... This yīn Yang Hede Qi Zhong is also the one who incarnates all things in the son. (Note: The words are from "Hanshu and Chronicles")

When the disciples of the Qingyun Sect cultivate to this realm, they will obviously show a watershed, and the level of qualification is clear at a glance.

Wise people often break through to a higher realm of "exorcism" in one fell swoop, and thus lay a solid foundation for cultivating the Immortal Dao, while slightly worse disciples often stagnate, and there are many places in their lives.

Zhang Xiaofan has been in the business for five years now, and these things have naturally been heard countless times in conversations with the senior brothers, but it is obvious that all the senior brothers have classified him as "slightly worse".

He walked back to the kitchen, went to the stove, filled it with water, and then continued to add wood to the stove, ready to boil some water.

The bright yellow flame regained its vigor, Zhang Xiaofan took his poor black sè "burning stick" that had been used for two years, and fiddled with the firewood between the stoves, and after the fire stabilized and burned, his eyes slowly fell on the burning stick in his hand.

But it wasn't something he had discovered, it was a normal thing - he was in a daze.

The whole body of the black sè fire stick is only a foot long, except for the bead on the head, the only thing that is a little abnormal is that under the black sè of the fire stick, there is a faint blood-like vein, especially at the interface between the short stick and the bead, it is even more obvious, sometimes it seems to make people almost feel that these two things seem to be fused together with human blood.

Zhang Xiaofan's whole body shook suddenly, and the thought of human blood melting flashed in his mind just now, which made him feel disgusting.

Over the years, he had slowly forgotten that trip to the valley back then, and only occasionally dreamed back late at night, but he would suddenly dream of that strange experience, and wake up sweating profusely.

At that time, he felt very alone, alone in the face of the unknown hideous, alone in the face of dark death. At this time, he always couldn't suppress his inexplicable emotions, with a hint of fanatical impulse, and couldn't help but feel like killing.

Even in the dark, he recalled the strange frenzy in Monk Puzhi's eyes when he looked at him by the broken grass temple many years ago!

Zhang Xiaofan didn't know why he had such a strange feeling, but fortunately, he had another way to calm his terrifying heart-Dafa Prajna!

This set of Buddhism has the magic of suppressing evil spirits and purifying the state of mind, and the biggest use of his practice for five years is to suppress the strange feelings that have appeared inexplicably in the past two years.

"Smack!"

Zhang Xiaofan's head hurt, and something fell to the ground, but it was a pine cone, Zhang Xiaofan rushed back angrily and said angrily: "Dead monkey, don't let me catch it...... Hey, you're ...... Ahh

Zhang Xiaofan jumped up, only to see a person of medium stature standing at the door, jīng dry with a smile on his face, carrying a small burden, is it not the sixth Du Bishu who has not been seen for a long time, and who is it?

Du Bishu looked down at Zhang Xiaofan and said, "Awesome! In just a few years, you kid has grown as tall as me." ”

Zhang Xiaofan walked quickly, grabbed Du Bishu's shoulders and said with a smile: "Sixth Senior Brother, why has it been so long, we all miss you very much!"

Du Bishu smiled: "Aren't I coming back?"

Zhang Xiaofan immediately asked, "Does Master and Master know that you are back?"

Du Bishu said: "No, I just came back and saw smoke in the kitchen here, so I came over to take a look first, hehe, I knew that you kid was working here." Have you missed me if you haven't seen me for a few years?"

Zhang Xiaofan nodded happily in his heart. Du Bishu touched his head and suddenly whispered, "Go and accompany me to see Master." ”

Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment and said, "Why do you want me to accompany you?"

Du Bishu said with a bitter face: "Master asked me to go down the mountain at the beginning, saying that it would be limited to one year, but I played more! No, I searched for half a year to find good materials to refine magic weapons, but I was afraid that I would be scolded by Master." Come with me!"

Zhang Xiaofan glared at him and said, "Then you still said that you came to see me first, by the way, Sixth Senior Brother, what kind of magic weapon are you refining?"

Du Bishu smiled dryly: "Hehe, of course I'm here to see your little junior brother first, let's go!"

After a while, Rhubarb, who was hiding in a corner and gnawing on flesh and bones, and Xiao Ash, who was leaning on his back to catch lice, heard an angry roar from the Silent Hall: "The unscrupulous man is angry with me1

At dinnertime, everyone in Dazhufeng had a reunion for the first time in two years, and sat at a table to eat.

After everyone sat down, Tian Buyi still had an angry face, and all the disciples couldn't help but quietly ask him after greeting Du Bishu: "Sixth, why is the master so angry when he sees you?"

Du Bishu was embarrassed to look at him left and right, but Zhang Xiaofan, who was sitting next to him, had a smile on his face, but he didn't dare to laugh, and he looked quite weird.

At this time, Tian Ling'er, who was sitting opposite, finally couldn't help it, and was the first to ask Tian Buyi: "Dad, Senior Brother Six, why are you still so angry when you finally come back?"

Du Bishu quietly raised his eyes and looked at Tian Buyi, Tian Buyi glared at him, so frightened that Du Bishu hurriedly lowered his head. Tian Buyi snorted and said, "The sixth man put your own magic weapon out for everyone to see!"

Du Bishu opened his mouth, he couldn't speak, he raised his eyes to look at Su Ru, but saw Su Ru and smiled: "You can take out the book and show it to everyone!

Seeing that he couldn't put it off, Du Bishu took his small burden and shook it twice, took out a few things from the middle and put them on the table.

Everyone stared straight at each other without blinking, for fear of missing something, and the dining room was extremely quiet for a while.

I saw that there were three things that seemed to be made of some kind of hard wood, half the size of a fist, in a six-sided square, with white sè sides and various points carved on the edges, but they were three dice.

The crowd was dumbfounded, and after a moment burst into laughter.

Du Bishu's face was flushed, Tian Buyi looked at him with an angry face, and said angrily in his mouth: "Rotten wood can't be carved!"

Su Ru shook his head with a smile at this time and said, "Forget it, it's not a big deal, just dice! Anyway, this magic weapon is also used by himself." ”

Tian Buyi glared at his apprentice and said to Su Ru, "How do you know that he didn't use this to cheat?"

Du Bishu was startled and hurriedly said: "Master, master, mother, and apprentice will never dare to do such an obscene and shameless thing." It's just that a few years ago, I found a thousand-year-old three-bead tree on the bank of the red water in the south (Note 1), which was very aura, and carved these three dice on a whim, and never thought of other ......."

Tian Buyi was angry and said: "You are happy, hum, you can cultivate the rest, now you have refined a gambling set, and wait until a month later, the Seven Veins will compete in martial arts, do I still have a face?"

Du Bishu didn't dare to say any more, Su Ru shook his head and said in a low voice: "It's not easy, this is something he likes, don't force him." Do you remember Senior Brother Wan......"

Tian Buyi was suddenly shocked, turned his head to look at Su Ru, Su Ru sighed lightly, and said to Du Bishu: "You know Bishu, your master and I have never forced you to cultivate the fairy sword like other senior brothers, but the magic weapon is often very important, you have to be careful yourself." ”

Du Bishu secretly glanced at Tian Buyi, but saw that the master's face was unhappy, and he was sulking, how dare he say more, and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes." ”

Su Ru glanced at her husband again, and then said to everyone: "Time flies so fast, next month is the Seven Veins Martial Arts Test." When the time comes, we will go to Tongtian Peak where Nagato is located, you should prepare early!" Speaking of this, her beautiful and gentle face suddenly became solemn and said, "Don't let me and your master down again this time, you know?"

The hearts of all the disciples jumped and they said in unison, "Yes!"

"Teacher, teacher. Mixed with everyone's loud answers, an incongruous faint voice came out, Su Ru saw that it was the last old seven, Zhang Xiaofan frowned, and said, "What's wrong, Xiaofan?"

Zhang Xiaofan said cautiously: "Then did you mean that I would go too?"

Su Ru glanced at Tian Buyi in a daze, a smile appeared on his face, and he smiled: "Yes, aren't you also a disciple of the Great Bamboo Peak lineage?"

Zhang Xiaofan likes to jump up and high-five Du Bishu next to him, and he doesn't care about Tian Buyi, and said coldly in the distance: "Anyway, there are nine places, even if you give one to an idiot, it's still a waste, don't use it in vain." ”

At night, when Zhang Xiaofan returned to the house, he saw that Rhubarb and Little Gray had already run to his bed to rest.

Since a year and a half ago, Rhubarb has moved to Zhang Xiaofan's room to sleep because of his friendship with Xiao Ash, and Tian Buyi was scared at the beginning, and he couldn't find his dog anywhere, and finally knew the reason, snorted and walked away without saying anything.

Zhang Xiaofan saw that the master didn't blame, so he didn't drive the rhubarb out (in fact, he couldn't drive out a bed, the rhubarb accounted for half of the small gray, and half of the half, you can know the mood of the owner of this house).

However, after a long time, I probably got used to it, and I still got acquainted with it, and Zhang Xiaofan no longer slept with Rhubarb and Xiao Ash with him.

He was in a good mood this night, walked into the room and sat down at the table, but when he glanced at his eyes, he saw Rhubarb lazily lying on his stomach, but he went to the kitchen again at some point, and stole his black sè burning stick again, and rubbed it on Rhubarb's body.

His heart moved, and he faintly felt that Xiao Ash seemed to be very interested in this burning stick, but he was not in the mood to think about it so much now, and his heart was completely filled with the joy that Master had unexpectedly allowed him to participate in the Seven Veins Martial Arts.

If Rhubarb and Little Gray looked at Zhang Xiaofan at this time, they would see a human with glowing eyes.

Zhang Xiaofan's eyes looked at this monkey and a dog, but his mouth seemed to be speaking into the air: "You see, it's great that I have the opportunity to participate in the Seven Veins Martial Arts." Master, his old man is really magnanimous, even if I am stupid, he still takes me to see it for a long time, and then maybe you can see the feather. ”

Speaking of this, he seemed to remember something, and whispered to himself: "But if you really compete in Taiwan, I'm afraid that it will embarrass the master!

"Squeak squeak!"

Zhang Xiaofan raised his eyes to look, but saw that Xiao Gray was thinking about it, carefully grasping the lice in Rhubarb's fur, and only barked a few times to deal with him, and Rhubarb simply put down his two dog ears and didn't look at him.

"Dead dog!" Zhang Xiaofan scolded indignantly, and suddenly his eyes were dark, but Xiao Ash suddenly smashed the burning stick in his hand.

He was startled, quickly dodged the burning stick, smashed it on the table, jumped twice, and fell to the ground.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!" This time, the voices of the big yellow dog and the little gray monkey became a symphony, Zhang Xiaofan made a grimace at the two beasts, and sat down hatefully, but somehow Qi Hao's heroic appearance in Dazhufeng two years ago suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Condense ice into a wall!" Zhang Xiaofan said in a low voice, he was fine when he didn't cultivate, but these rìzi his cultivation deepened, but he deeply experienced the difficulty and unattainability of reaching Qi Hao's realm.

He remembered Tian Ling'er's gentle but fiery eyes by the light in this room that night!

His heart felt like it had been pricked by a sharp needle at that moment.

The burning stick on the ground lay there quietly, and the sound of monkeys and yellow dogs frolicking came from the side, Zhang Xiaofan suddenly felt that he was so similar to this burning stick, and even the burning stick fell to the ground, as if it was a little lonely in his eyes.

"Alas!" he sighed, trying to imagine what it would be like for him to reach that realm, and then, in a completely relaxed posture that he didn't care about in the slightest, for the first time in his life, he did the "exorcism" that the Qingyun Sect disciples had done countless times—waving to the burning stick on the ground.

That moment seemed like forever.

Zhang Xiaofan was very normal, and he was not even a little sad, and he was ready to accept his defeat as a matter of course, and then he saw the burning stick in the ground move.

It was so gentle, slightly as if it had been sleeping for a long time before waking up!
