Saying goodbye to Qin Ziling, Zhou Shaobai was sullen and returned to Yuping Peak by the dust of the Chengyu Daoist. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After handing over the dust to the master, Zhou Shaobai was hungry, so he went to eat with all the senior brothers. With the experience of the senior brother, the attitude of the Dao people towards Zhou Shaobai is obviously much better, but there is guard and indifference hidden in the politeness.

However, Zhou Shaobai didn't care at all, his mind at this time was full of Qin Ziling's shadows.

No wonder beside the lotus pond, Qin Ziling always wanted to speak and stopped, but there was such a sad story. Zhou Shaobai remembered the bullying he had received on weekdays, and he had a good impression of Qin Ziling, who was in a similar situation.

Thinking that after tomorrow, Qin Ziling will leave here and go to the distance, Zhou Shaobai's heart will be as heavy as a stone lion in front of the main hall, and he can't wait for the next moment to be two years later, he will be able to fly away and go to Shuichuan to find Qin Ziling.

While he was thinking wildly, a Taoist came over: "Little junior brother, this is senior brother's porridge and rice, and I bother you to go on an errand, give it to him." ”

Zhou Shaobai looked at the food box in front of him, which contained a bowl of porridge, two steamed buns, and a small plate of pickles. It turned out that in Xiyunguan, disciples were punished for making mistakes, and they were only allowed to eat one meal a day and at night, and there were rules for what to eat.

At present, the senior brother has been punished by the Chengyu Daoist for the first time, and the rest of the senior brothers are afraid to avoid it, so as not to be known by the master to know that he has a close past with him, and it will cause trouble to his own body. No one even wants to go to deliver food, if Chengyu hadn't assigned Zhou Shaobai to deliver food, I'm afraid that the senior brother would have been hungry and thought about it in Qingxintai.

Zhou Shaobai took the food box, but he was very unfair in his heart: This person usually leads people to bully me many times, and even the Qin family's sister has been bullied, but the master still wants me to bring him food, I really don't know why.

But the teacher's order was difficult to disobey, so he still took the lunch box and nodded: "I know, I'll go now." ”

Qingxintai is thirty miles east of Yuping Peak, named Tai, in fact, it is not a pavilion, but just a stone cave on the top of a dangerous peak.

There is about the size of a bedroom in the stone cave, except for a stone bed, a stone table and a stone bench, there is nothing else, the summer is hot and humid, the winter is cold and biting, the days of thinking in it are really like a year.

To go from Yuping Mountain to Qingxintai, you must pass through a section of extremely steep mountain road, this mountain road is extremely narrow, only allow one person to pass, both sides are thousands of cliffs, a little careless slip down the mountain, it must be broken bones, this mountain road, the Taoist priests in the past called it "crucian carp back", also called "eagle sorrowful".

At this moment, Zhou Shaobai is cautiously walking on the "back of the crucian carp". At this time, it was already night, the starry sky seemed to be reachable, and the moon overhead was even brighter, and it was unusually beautiful. But Zhou Shaobai didn't have the mood to admire the moon and watch the stars, because the mountain wind was fierce and abnormal at this time, and the sleeves and plackets of his clothes were dancing wildly, almost being lifted into the air like a piece of paper.

The wind was howling in Zhou Shaobai's ears, and he was unsteady on his feet, so he had to bend down, use his hands and feet together, and move forward slowly, but the food box was very cumbersome, which made him embarrassed.

The clouds above his head passed away with the wind, but Zhou Shaobai could only move forward inch by inch, and I don't know how long it took, he finally moved out of the back of the crucian carp, but his clothes were already soaked with sweat, and his legs were as heavy as lead. Thinking that such a road would take seven hundred and forty-nine days, two trips back and forth a day, Zhou Shaobai couldn't wait to throw away his lunch box immediately and go back to sleep directly.

With a stomach full of complaints, Zhou Shaobai came to the stone cave of Qingxintai.

He stood at the entrance of the cave and smelled a stuffy and humid musty smell inside, so he didn't want to go in, so he only shouted at the entrance of the cave: "Senior brother, I'm Zhou Shaobai, I'm bringing you food, you can come out and get it!"

Senior brother's voice came from inside, very tired: "Little junior brother, you better come in, I'm very tired here, I really don't want to move anymore." ”

Zhou Shaobai thought to himself: It's okay, I'll go and see how embarrassed you are now, and I can relieve the hatred in my heart.

He got into the stone cave, and sweated again, it was very dim, and the stuffy musty smell made people almost suffocating, if it weren't for the senior brother lighting a candle and copying the scriptures, Zhou Shaobai would have thought that he had broken into an ancient tomb.

When he walked over, he saw that the senior brother was so hot that he was stripped naked, wearing only his middle pants, sweating profusely, and was writing hard and copying scriptures with the help of a candle bean flame. His sweat dripped from his wrists, wetting the paper.

Seeing that the senior brother was so embarrassed, Zhou Shaobai was secretly refreshed in his heart, and said in his heart, seeing his down-and-out appearance, it was not in vain that I had suffered so much to come here.

He put the lunch box on the stone table: "Senior brother, this is your meal today." I'm leaving, and I'll bring you food tomorrow at this time. ”

Senior Brother put down the pen and said with a smile: "Little junior brother, wait a minute." I'm sorry you to bring me food, I have something I want to ask. ”

Zhou Shaobai didn't want to talk to him, but he still said, "You ask." ”

"Did you secretly spit and pee in it when you brought me food? If our situation changed, there was a chance that I would do it. ”

Zhou Shaobai sneered: "Senior brother, you are honest, but I am different from you." I'm already satisfied to see you like this, so why do you want to do that dirty thing that only you do?"

"Well said. I know that although you hate me, you are not bad-hearted, and you will never fall into the ground, unlike my other junior brothers. Don't worry, I'm just joking, I know you won't do that. The senior brother smiled, opened the food box, picked up the porridge and took a sip.

"In that case, senior brother, you are so self-conscious, I'm leaving. Zhou Shaobai turned around to leave, but the senior brother stopped him again.

"Little junior brother, why bother, I haven't talked to anyone for a day, I'm panicking, since you have a good heart, you have a good heart, and talk with me, a wicked person, to relieve your boredom. ”

Although Zhou Shaobai wanted to leave, he thought about it and sat down.

"Good. Little junior brother, Master and his old man, are very disappointed in me, after all, I usually pretend to be very well-behaved in front of him. The elder brother sighed and said.

Zhou Shaobai nodded and sneered: "This is natural, but this is also your own fault, and evil will be rewarded." ”

The senior brother nodded: "Good scolding." Little junior brother, you are the only one in front of me, you will not lie like others, and it is very enjoyable to chat with you. When I was proud, the other junior disciples flattered me in every way, and now I have lost my position in front of the master and have fallen to this point, and you who have been bullied by me have come to deliver food, hehe, hehe......"

Zhou Shaobai couldn't help but say: "Senior brother, you never thought that it was you who caused you to become like this?"

The senior brother smiled: "Of course I thought about it, but there was no turning back when I opened the bow." Little junior brother, now that you are a big celebrity in front of Master, do other people treat you the same as they did to me before?"

Zhou Shaobai shook his head: "I'm not a celebrity, I just want to practice hard and go down the ......mountain in two years."

He swallowed the second half of the sentence raw.

Senior Brother said curiously: "Strange, didn't the master tell you?"

"What did you say?" Zhou Shaobai was puzzled.

The senior brother smiled: "I actually talked to you so much today, so let's talk about it." Do you know why I've been targeting you everywhere?"

Zhou Shaobai said: "I don't have any money for you to gamble and have fun." ”

Senior Brother laughed: "There are many junior disciples who have no money, why don't I seek trouble with them?" Little junior brother, let me tell you the truth, in fact, it is because Master is very partial to you. In front of me, he praised you several times, saying that you are extremely gifted and will surely achieve great things in time, while I am stupid and dull in nature, unless God opens his eyes and gives me additional creation. ”

Zhou Shaobai was very surprised, in the eight years he had been on the mountain, he had never heard the master say such a word, and he couldn't help but shake his head again and again: "No, the master has never been in front of me, and the master has never taught me advanced Taoism. ”

"That's because Master wants to lay a solid foundation for you, and he said that you are extremely talented, and if you don't lay a solid foundation, you will rush forward, and you will easily fall into the devil and suffer from it. Moreover, the fact that you are going down the mountain when you are eighteen years old also makes Master very hesitant, and he doesn't know whether to teach you the advanced Taoism of your own sect. He even inadvertently told me that if you were me, he would have taught all the skills of his body, cultivated his successor talents, and strengthened my Yuping Peak lineage. Little junior brother, I am really jealous of you, so I embarrass you everywhere and bully you. ”

Listening to the words of the senior brother, Zhou Shaobai was very surprised, although Chengyu usually loved him very much, but he never realized that he was so high in the master's heart.

Senior Brother sighed: "I have disappointed Master very much this time, and I estimate that it will be difficult to turn over after that." Little junior brother, Master is so important to you, you have to seize the opportunity to go down the mountain, let's think about it more. If you can no longer be a lay disciple, then the prosperity of Yuping Peak in the future will depend on you. ”
