Three days later, Yuan Zhenzi returned to the Lingqiu Temple, and neither Mo Chou nor Li Hao went to him to complain, after all, both of them violated the door rules in this matter, and no one wanted to be punished. But they didn't expect that Nalan, who had nothing to do with this matter, would go to Yuan Zhenzi with them.

Yuan Zhenzi listened to Nalan Shufang's narration, and immediately became furious, and reprimanded Mo Chou and Li Hao in the Sanqing Palace, kneeling in front of the portrait of the Sanqing Patriarch.

"Li Hao! You framed your fellow disciple and almost killed your junior brother, which is already a big taboo. But I read that you are the first offender, and there is a reason for the incident, this time I will not be severely punished, and I will not be allowed to come to the morning class again tomorrow, and I will copy the book 300 times a day. Confiscate the secret book of the "Five Spirits Sword Technique", and without permission, you can no longer practice the sword technique above!

Li Hao heard that Yuan Zhenzi was just a small punishment and a big commandment, and hurriedly responded: "The disciple admits the punishment!" Thank you for the mercy of the master's subordinates, the disciple will definitely change his past mistakes and dare not commit it again!"

Yuan Zhenzi nodded, and asked Mo Chou again: "Tell me honestly, who taught you that set of swordsmanship!? If you don't say it, go down the mountain as soon as possible, poor Taoism can't teach an apprentice like you!"

Mo Chou hesitated, and finally took out the bronze man in his arms. When Yuan Zhenzi saw the bronze man, he immediately understood, only to see a move in his left hand, he held the bronze man in his hand, with a look of hatred that iron is not steel, sighed turbidity, and with a pinch of his hands, he slapped the bronze man into powder, and shouted at Mo Chou: "Your senior brother himself has excellent qualifications, but he loves these strange skills, otherwise how could he have not made a name for himself for more than ten years, and he has not returned to the mountain with face." Not only did you not let him learn from the past, but you also learned from him to play with these side ways, and even disobeyed the teacher's orders again and again, if you are not severely punished this time, what kind of face will you have to teach the teacher!?"

Yuan Zhenzi breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "In the next five years, you will sit in bitter meditation in the White Curtain Cave and devote yourself to cultivating the "Wedding Dress Divine Skill", and you will not be allowed to come out without the order of the teacher!

Mo Chou felt very aggrieved in his heart, and he wanted to defend a few words, but he was swept away by Yuan Zhenzi's sharp gaze, and the words came to his mouth and were swallowed back by him. I had to bow my head and reluctantly respond: "Accept punishment in vain." ”

"That's good. You go back and pack your luggage, bring some change of clothes, and go to the White Curtain Cave by yourself tomorrow morning!" After Yuan Zhenzi finished speaking, regardless of Mo Chou's feelings, he turned around and walked out of the Sanqing Palace, and Li Hao followed with a proud face.

Early the next morning, Mo Chou went to the White Curtain Cave alone. It is now the middle of winter, and the fifteenth day of the first month has not yet arrived. There is a large waterfall more than 1,000 feet high in Tongtian Gorge, and now the weather is bitterly cold, and the flowing water freezes into an ice waterfall, hanging in the air, and at a glance, it looks like a white cloth. There is a karst cave hidden behind him, the mountain stones in the cave are washed by the flowing water all day long, and it is smooth enough to shine on people, this cave is the white curtain cave. There is a cold pool at the bottom, and I don't know how deep it is

Mo Chou walked into the cave and saw that there was no grass growing inside, let alone a living thing, and there was only a small insight above his head to see the light, which was really a secluded place that was not easy to be disturbed by external objects, which was just suitable for contemplating against the wall or retreating. The cave is not deep, only a few steps to reach the end, there is a slippery boulder in the innermost, there is a small pit on the stone face, and there is a cushion in the pit, which is intended for him.

Mo Chou thought to himself: "The master punished me to face the wall here, and prepared a mat for me to sit on, which can be regarded as a benevolent house." I can't live up to his old man's hard work, I spent these five years concentrating on cultivation, and after I got out of the customs, the master saw that I had made some achievements, so there was no reason to prohibit me from learning swords. He sat down on the stone, stretched out his hand and patted it, and quipped: "Stone, stone, in the next five years, we will depend on each other for our lives." You don't know that you have been lonely for thousands or tens of thousands of years, and now you have me as your companion, which is also fate. Why don't we worship as brothers, if you become an immortal in the future, don't forget to take me with you. ”

He had no taboos, and it was a joke at first, but the more he thought about it, the more interesting he felt, so he really knelt down and kowtowed, and then made an oath to the ancestor of Sanqing Dao. There is only one monk in the world who worships with stones. After that, a few days passed, like this, for twelve hours a day, most of the time was spent in meditation and practice, and the rest of the time, either practicing swords, or jokingly chatting with 'Brother Shi', occasionally talking about the mental methods in the two secret books. But 'Brother Shi' doesn't understand human nature, let alone speak, one day Mo Chou was bored, he suddenly had a whim, holding a short sword, and wanted to engrave the hundred seal characters on 'Brother Shi'.

Before he could engrave a few words, he suddenly felt unwell, his heart ached, and his breathing became short.

So I had to sit cross-legged and breathe, only to find that Dantian Zhenqi was not how, but there was a lack of ten Jiu, and I thought it was very likely to be related to the burning of seal characters. But he is curious by nature, and he has to verify the truth of this matter. So he gritted his silver teeth, took a mouthful of Zhenqi and pressed it in his chest, and then the short sword was like flying, and after a few strokes, he engraved five characters. Before he could rejoice in his heart, he was dizzy for a while, the five colors in front of him were colorful, the scenery moved upside down, the spring thunder exploded in his ears, and the rumbling sound was endless, and then he felt that it was pitch black in front of him, and he fainted stiffly.

When he woke up, he felt that he couldn't exert his strength, so he hurriedly probed the dantian and learned that the purple mansion was empty, and in the sea of qi, there was only a cloud of nebula that was neither blue nor purple, still rotating. Thinking of the reckless violation just now, I couldn't help but be a little afraid, and secretly thought: "I'm afraid that the mental method on the copper sword can't be engraved, I don't know what the result will be if I change a magic skill?"

He was still unwilling in his heart, so he wrote down the magic of the wedding dress again. After a try, it didn't take any effort, and I screamed strange in my heart, but I couldn't think of a reason. Looking at the stone again, I couldn't help but be surprised that I couldn't help but be surprised when I couldn't find a few seal characters.

After a small episode, Mo Chou practiced for several months, and only then did he make up for the true qi, and the clouds and lights rolled in the purple mansion, and the wind and thunder sounded during exercise. After a few months, the twelve canons have all been completed, and now even if you don't use a bronze sword, Mo Chou can crush the stone with a palm that is enough to crush the square stone. Since then, the stones near the left side of the poor white curtain cave have been robbed, and when he saw which stones were slightly unpleasant, he took them as Li Yi, and he slapped them over, and they were all broken.

The days pass quickly, and in a blink of an eye, he has been in the White Curtain Cave for a year, thinking that Yuan Zhenzi punished him to come here to face the wall and think, but after coming here, he devoted himself to practice, and the face of the wall was much less, but the heart of the thought did not move at all.

This day happened to be the thirtieth day of the lunar month, Mo Chou was still meditating in the cave, and heard someone outside calling his name, so he got up and walked out of the cave. When she came out, she saw Nalan jumping up and down, walking towards the White Curtain Cave, and she was still carrying a basket in her left hand. Seeing that his senior sister came to see him, Mo Chou hurriedly greeted him.

At this time, Nalan was still some distance away from the White Curtain Cave, so he heard her shout: "Senior brother, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, Senior Sister has come to see you." ”

Mo Chou asked loudly, "Senior sister, why are you here?" Otherwise, if the master finds out, it will be troublesome. ”

"Hee-hee!"

Nalan laughed, at this time she had already come behind the water curtain, only to hear her explain: "Senior brother, rest assured, without the permission of the master, how dare I come to see you." ”

Mo Chou was stunned when he heard this, and asked again: "Senior sister, the master wants you to come and see me, but his old man is merciful and allows me to go out early?"

Nalan was probably afraid that he would be disappointed, so he couldn't help but sink his face and replied, "Over the past year, Senior Sister has spoken for you in front of the master. But if you make a mistake this time, the master is like eating a scale, and he is determined to teach you a lesson. No matter how much I try to persuade him, he just won't let you go back. A few days ago, I saw that my master was happy, and I thought that I was happy because of something, so I went to intercede with him again. It's good to say that after wearing out his mouth, he got the extrajudicial grace of his old man, and allowed me to come and see you once a month. Senior brother, don't be in a hurry, after the senior sister goes back, whenever you have a chance on weekdays, you will go to the master to talk to the master and ask him to allow you to go back. ”

After listening to Nalan, he was moved and distressed in his heart, so he said: "Senior sister, you must not persuade again, if it is because of my business, even you will suffer, then it is not worth it." Besides, the junior brother eats well, sleeps well, practices and plays swords, and I don't know how happy and comfortable my life is. I don't want to go back to the room early and look at Li Hao's stinky face again. ”

At the mention of Li Hao, Nalan became ashamed, his face turned red, and Mo Chou looked away and didn't care. At this time, I heard Nalan say softly: "Although you and the second senior brother have a holiday, but the two of you have the same, I am afraid that they are comparable." ”

He was very unhappy when he heard Nalan Na compare himself with Li Hao, so he said angrily: "I still have similarities with him?

Nalan hurriedly explained: "That's arrogance. You and the second senior brother are very proud, and they don't know where to develop a stinky temper, so they just refuse to bow their heads. ”

When Mo Chou heard this, he just snorted coldly and did not answer again. Seeing that he didn't want to mention Li Hao, Nalan could only sigh secretly and didn't mention it. She sent the basket to Mo Chou's arms, and said, "Your body has grown a lot taller, and the previous clothes are no longer suitable for wearing." Senior sister bought you some new ones, you go inside to replace them, see if they fit. ”

Mo Chou took the basket and was moved in his heart, so he said: "The clothes made by Senior Sister fit naturally, so you don't need to try it." After Chinese New Year's Eve, I will change into this new dress and look auspicious. ”

Nalan Shufang couldn't resist him, so she had to give up, and then the two of them said something more, Mo Chou saw that the hour was not early, and it was night in Tongtianxia, and there might be some strange beasts, so Mo Chou urged her to leave.

When Nalan Shufang left, Mo Chou stood at the door of the White Curtain Cave and watched, watching her slender back gradually fade away, turning the col and no longer visible. At this time, I suddenly heard a clear singing voice, which was the voice of Senior Sister Nalan. Mo Chou listened to it for a long time, but he felt that he seemed to have heard it somewhere, and after recalling it for a while, he remembered that it was a folk song in Xiangyang, and said in his heart: "It seems that Senior Sister has been very close to Li Hao this year." ”

This night, Mo Chou's mind was like a tide, and he couldn't calm down to meditate. While thinking about his senior sister's gentleness, he also thought about Li Hao's viciousness, and said in his heart: "If senior sister is good friends with Li Hao, how should I treat her in the future?"

He thought about this matter over and over again, and the most taboo thing about practicing was restlessness, so he simply stopped practicing tonight, had nothing to do, and danced in the white curtain cave with a bronze short sword. There is no light source in the cave, and now Mo Chou is dancing with a sword, and the green light is flashing endlessly, which is dazzling.

When dancing to casually, I suddenly felt a heat wave rolling in my lower abdomen, not vomiting or unhappy, and saw the icefall at the entrance of the cave shining by the moonlight, so I thought it was Li Hao and the black bear, and the two torrents of purple and green surged up to the twelve canons.
