"Who?" said Tianshu and Qing'er in unison.

"Master!"

"Why?"

"This ...... I've heard that, too. It is said that this rule was set by the twelfth generation of the head Chishui Zhenren after the "Great War of Good and Evil" thousands of years ago. It is said that at that time, the main gate was in the middle of a long time, Chishui Zhenren had just stepped on the throne, and the previous generation of leaders had just passed away, presumably those demon demons must have been waiting for an opportunity for a long time, seizing the opportunity to attack the Nine Heavens Mountain, and hijacking Chishui Zhenren's wife and children in the chaos, using this as a threat to him to destroy the Heavenly Sword. Chishui Zhenren naturally wouldn't recruit it, but the people he loved on the other side were in danger, and he had no choice, so he finally took off the robe of the head of the sect, took off the crown of the head of the sect, and knelt in front of the group of demons in his personal name, letting them be humiliated. His wife could not bear to see this, so she killed the child and then killed herself. The extremely sad and indignant Chishui Zhenren opened the fairy sword. Because the immortal sword is too powerful, it is difficult for mortals to resist, whether it is my sect or the demon sect, there are countless casualties. It is rumored that at that time, the blood mist on the halfway of the Nine Heavens Mountain was filled, and it took a whole month to disperse. Since then, Chishui Zhenren has made this rule, just for fear that this kind of thing will happen again. ”

Qing'er blinked her big eyes and said a little sadly: "Presumably, the head of Chishui and his wife must be very affectionate......"

"Hmm...... If I can find such a person, I will leave the world, find an ordinary village with her, and live the rest of my life. Tianshu seemed to be talking to himself, making him seem to be a prodigal son in love, but in fact, he read a few wild books.

"Ahem, I said," Hou Xin was originally triumphant, waiting for the two junior brothers and sisters who had just arrived to cast reverent glances at him, but who knew that they actually sighed to themselves and completely forgot about him. "Did you two mishear the point? I want to explain why the head of the family can't get married!"

"Hehe, too. Thank you, brother, for explaining it to us. Tianshu clenched his fists.

Hou Xin was stunned for a moment when he saw Tianshu's movements, and hurriedly returned the salute, but his movements were stiff and awkward, "Senior brother, don't be like this, I'm panicking." ”

Qing'er was happy to see it from the side, bent down, leaned over and asked, "Senior brother, why is this?"

Hou Xin touched his head embarrassedly, "I'm a rough person, and these red tape etiquette is not my forte." And...... And the master said that the senior brother is his own relative. And their own people, where do they come from so many fancy styles, empty roads. ”

"Then listen to Senior Brother. Tianshu said as he helped Hou Xin up.

"By the way, Senior Brother, you said that you are the third senior brother, but what about the senior brother and the second senior brother?" asked Qing'er.

"Hehe, I was about to talk to you. The second senior brother's name is Zhu Huan, and he is now busy working in the kitchen in the east. The second senior brother has studied food, and the things he makes can be called 'a must in the Nine Heavenly Mountains', you don't look at me so thin, in fact, I am still the chief taster of the second senior brother, and every time he invents a dish, he will ask me to try it first. However, the problem is that I have eaten so much, and I still don't grow meat at all, and the second senior brother said that I will also grow meat after eating it for the white bone spirit! Hey, you say, I don't want it either, right?"

"Then let him eat it himself. Qing'er answered.

"Hehe, junior sister, you don't know this, the second senior brother's physique is just the opposite of mine, he doesn't want to say that he eats and drinks, he just drinks water, and he will get fat the next day. ”

"Uh... Is that second senior brother very fat?" Tianshu asked.

"Yes!"

"Does the second senior brother like to wear a big red caftan and wear nothing inside?"

"Yes, yes!"

"Does the second senior brother like to take a flower, pick his teeth with the flower stem, and then insert it on his head after picking it?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Hou Xin looked at Tianshu in surprise, "Could it be ...... Senior Brother has seen Second Senior Brother, or does he have the ability to predict the future?"

Tianshu shook his head and pointed not far away. A fat man, as he had just described, was crouching there, motionless.

Hou Xin led Tianshu and them over. When he walked over to the fat man, he didn't even feel it. Hou Xin patted him on the shoulder and asked, "Senior brother, why are you squatting at the door of the kitchen in a reluctant manner?"

Zhu Huan turned his face, and a glint appeared in his eyes, which had been squeezed into a line by flesh. "It's delicious! I just made a dish by accident, and it's really delicious!"

"Really, then give me a taste!"

"Okay, you wait. I didn't expect a fat man to have such a flexible skill, I only heard two "whoosh" sounds, and Zhu Huan had an extra bowl in his hand, and there was a lump of black, sticky things in the bowl.

"What is this? It's disgusting to watch. Qing'er shrank behind Tianshu.

"Little girl, you don't understand this, as the so-called people can't pretend to be, don't look at this thing not very good on the outside, it can be said that it tastes like a hole, and there is something inside...... By the way, little girl, who are you?" Zhu Huan stopped the gushing saliva that gushed out.

"That's why I'm here to find my brother. Hou Xin stepped forward to introduce, "He is his brother Tianshu, and she is his sister Tianqing'er." They are apprentices that the master has just taken in. Hehe, I also have a junior brother......"

Tianshu clasped his fists at Zhu Huan and saluted: "I've seen the second senior brother." ”

Zhu Huan waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, our Xiaozhuyuan doesn't have so many rules." Then he swept the big bowl in his hand and said, "Hehe, little junior brother and little junior sister, when we meet for the first time, there is nothing to give you." I'm going to give you this newly invented dish as a welcome gift. ”

"This ...... How embarrassing is this, it should be the filial piety of the junior and younger brothers. ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Qing'er hurriedly jumped out to answer, she thought that it might be better to eat bamboo.

"You can eat the little monkey!"

"It's... Second Senior Brother, I just had breakfast and can't eat it. ”

"I didn't let you finish it. This thing is very rare, do you want to finish eating, it's so beautiful!" Zhu Huan put the big bowl on Hou Xin's chest, "Only take a little!"

Hou Xin trembled his hands and pinched a small poke.

"Eat quickly!" the corners of Zhu Huan's two eyes twitched slightly.

Hou Xin trembled and put the thing close to his face, first sniffed it from a distance, and found that it actually smelled quite good, and then tapped it with the tip of his tongue, which didn't seem to be unpalatable. He glanced at Zhu Huan again, then closed his eyes, raised his head, and said at the same time, "You won't be happy"!

Everyone looked at Hou Xin directly, he seemed to have become a sculpture, and time seemed to freeze. The breeze swayed the bamboo forest, I don't know how long it was, and it probably didn't take long, anyway, Hou Xin finally moved.

"Second Senior Brother......" Hou Xin raised his eyes, which were already full of tears, "It's really delicious!"

"Really?" Qing'er also pinched a handful in disbelief, and gave half of it to Tianshu. They glanced at each other and slowly put it in their mouths.

Zhu Huan looked at them confidently, and a smile bloomed quietly.

"This taste...... It's weird...... But it's really delicious!" Tianshu savored carefully.

Qing'er on the other side was speechless, so she could only keep nodding violently.

Zhu Huan patted his stomach, "That's right! You go on, I'll study this dish carefully." Hehe...... "After saying that, the person disappeared, and the sound of "ping-pong" came from the kitchen.

Hou Xin scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Hehe, the second senior brother is like this, doing other things is a chronic child, only for cooking, he will 'work hard'! The master often said that if his love for cultivation is half that of cooking, then he is already the best among his peers." ”

Tianshu waved his hand and said, "The same thing, the same thing." And that's why we can have this blessing. ”

"Hehe, that's right. ”

Hou Xin led them on. After walking a few steps, he came to Qin Guang's room.

Hou Xin pointed like a thief and said very quietly: "This is the master's room." The master should be resting at this time. Forget it, let's go quickly, in case we disturb the master's rest, it's not good. ”

"Oh......" Tianshu smiled at Qing'er and followed Hou Xin together.

"Hehe, senior brother seems to be very afraid of the master?" Qing'er asked as she walked to the front.

"Well...... Hou Xin scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Actually...... I blame myself for being too stupid, it's been three years since I apprenticed, and I haven't even been able to fully absorb the introductory mental method, and I don't even have the opportunity to go to the martial arts training ground for morning exercises and morning classes. ”

"Why?" Qing'er continued.

"Because the cultivation method of our Nine Heavens Sword Sect's kung fu is mainly to induce natural aura to stimulate our own true qi. And the most basic of this is this introductory mind. Seeing the appearance of the disciples during their morning exercises, it is actually using the sword as a medium to absorb the aura of nature. ”

"How is the second senior brother?" Tianshu said curiously.

"Second Senior Brother, don't look at him like this, in fact, his talent is the best among our senior brothers, but of course it doesn't include you. But the second senior brother is not here, it's a pity. Otherwise, our Xiaozhuyuan would not be on our Jiutian Mountain...... Hey, the master has no choice but to let him go. ”

"What about Senior Brother?" Qing'er asked, "Why haven't you mentioned Senior Brother for so long?"

"Hehe, as soon as we talked about Senior Brother, we went to his room. Hou Xin pointed to the side.

As they talked, they arrived at their place. This is directly opposite the kitchen, and the rooms are arranged from the distance from the master's room from near to far, starting from the senior brother to the back, Qing'er is the smallest, so the farthest in the row. This is also because there are few people in Xiaozhuyuan, so they can be arranged to one person in one room, and the other courtyards are all multi-person rooms, such as Dazhuyuan, they are four-person rooms.

"Hmm...... I don't know if Senior Brother is back?" Hou Xin knocked on the door gently.

"Who?" said a deep voice from inside.

"It's me, little monkey. ”

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"Today, the master has accepted two more disciples, and I will take them to see the senior brother. ”

"Oh...... Wait, come right away. ”

Qing'er leaned in front of the door, looked hard into the crack in the door, and asked, "Senior brother shouldn't be the same as the master, putting on a face all day long, right?"

"No, the senior brother is very good. Many times, if it weren't for the senior brother, I would have been beaten by the master a long time ago. ”

"Oh, is it?" Qing'er looked up in frustration and pursed her mouth, "I can't see anything." ”

Tianshu pulled her over, pinched her nose gently, and said, "You girl's family, what kind of body is peeping." ”

As soon as Qing'er wanted to reply, the door squeaked open. A tall and sturdy figure walked out, with an irrepressible honesty on his smiling face.

"These two are the new junior brothers and sisters?"

Hou Xin nodded, his smile a little stiff.

Qing'er took advantage of Hou Xin's preemptive words before he could speak: "Hello senior brother! My name is Tianqing'er, and he is my brother Tianshu. ”

"Wow, such a handsome brother and sister, it's really my blessing to be your senior brother. The senior brother continued to smile, "My name is Tian Li, and many people call me Da Niu, hehe." ”

"Senior Brother has won the award, and Senior Brother Lao will take care of him more in the future. Tianshu said as he gestured.

"In the future, I will be my own brother, as a senior brother, I should take care of my junior brother. Also, in the future, we won't be so restrictive to our own brothers and sisters. ”

"Yes, yes," Hou Xin interjected, "I've told you so many times." ”

Tianshu smiled embarrassedly.

Hou Xin looked at Tian Li, "Senior brother, let's go back and rest first, and I'll take them to settle down first." ”

Tian Li nodded and said to them, "Come to me again after settling down, and I will teach you the basic mental methods of this sect." ”

Tianshu and Qing'er nodded in agreement.

It wasn't long before they were in front of their room. Hou Xin introduced: "The daily necessities are still complete, and I will send you the clothes of this door later." Go back to your rooms and rest first, and see if you need anything, and then come to me." ”

"Thank you, brother. Tianshu wanted to do it again, but it was wrong to think about it, so he followed Hou Xin's example, scratched his head, and smiled stupidly.

As soon as Hou Xin turned around, he was stopped by Tianshu.

"What else is going on, junior brother?"

"Hmm...... It's nothing, I hope I'm too careful......" Tianshu frowned and asked, "Is the senior brother injured?"

Hou Xin looked at Tianshu for a while and said, "You also found out? As soon as Senior Brother opened the door, a smell of medicine came out." I guess it must have been done by the people in the big bamboo courtyard! It's not once or twice that I've been bullied by them. ”

"And this kind of thing?" Tianshu and Qing'er said in unison.

"Hey......" Hou Xin sighed heavily, "Those people in Dazhuyuan rely on their master to be our master's senior brother, and then see that we are few people, and we are powerful and lucky in front of us on weekdays, but when we really go outside to the disciples of other courtyards, we don't even dare to let out a fart! In the final analysis, this can only be blamed for our poor learning and inferior skills!"

"The people of Dazhuyuan are so powerful, and even the senior brother is not their opponent?" Tianshu asked.

"Senior Brother's strength can be ranked among the top five among our peers in the 'Tianqian Academy'......! After all, there are the first four...... Especially Zhuge Ming, the senior brother of Dazhuyuan, is a number one figure in our entire sect. ”

"Then who's the best?" Qing'er snapped out.

"Of course, that is the sword-wielding elder of the 'Thunder Shock Academy', Elder Qingyang. I heard that the head of the house should have been Elder Qingyang, but his old man preferred to travel all over the world, so he gave up the position of head to the current head of the house. Legend has it that he is the only person in the history of this sect who has comprehended the use of the Heavenly Sword by his own strength, and has enough power to control the Heavenly Sword. Therefore, the current Heavenly Sword Sect is stronger than before, because there are two people who can use the Heavenly Sword......"

"Stop. Qing'er stomped her feet, "Third Senior Brother, I found that you didn't understand what I meant, I asked from my peers!"

"Is this...... There will be elites in the eight courtyards, such as Liang Zhiyuan of Dikun Academy, Ye Yanran of Shuikan Academy, Xiao Leng of Huoli Academy, Xie Qian of Lei Zhen Academy, Aftertaste of Shangen Academy, Zhou Yi of Fengxun Academy, and Cheng Feng of Zedui Academy, they can be said to be the choice of the moment. However, because there is no formal competition, it is impossible to tell who is stronger. ”

Ye Yanran ......" Tianshu involuntarily read it in his mouth.

When Hou Xin heard this, he immediately answered: "Senior Sister Yanran is the only woman here! And she is not only superior in strength, but more importantly, she is so beautiful! so kind ......."

Qing'er pushed Hou Xin and pointed to his chin, "Wipe the saliva first." ”

Hou Xin hurriedly swept it with his sleeve, then grabbed the back of his head with his hand, and smirked embarrassedly.

"Thank you, Senior Brother, for telling us so much, and I will have to trouble Senior Brother to take care of it in the future. Tianshu said with a smile.

"No hassle, no hassle. Hehe, then you rest first, and I'll bring you clothes later. After speaking, before Tianshu could reply, he ran away.

"Brother, do you think this third senior brother is a little stupid?" Qing'er leaned over and asked in a low voice.

Tianshu pinched her nose and said, "It's rude, it's called simplicity!"
