7. Corridor night talk
Night. The mountain breeze is like a naughty child, disobediently playing with her soft hair.
Qing'er gently arranged her hair.
The rising moon, the hazy light, as if the elves in the mountains and forests have gathered on Qing'er's body, I don't know if it's an illusion or a real thing, as if there is a faint layer of white light surrounding Qing'er.
"Hehe, little junior sister, you are so beautiful......" Hou Xin grabbed his head and smiled stupidly.
Because the rooms of the brothers in the small bamboo garden are all connected, everyone will unconsciously develop a habit, that is, after dinner, when it is almost dark, everyone will move a chair from their room and sit in the corridor. The corridor on this side of the room is large, almost the size of a stage. I really don't know which master designed it, so humane.
Today is the first day that Tianshu and Qing'er came, and at dinner, Zhu Huan specially took out a few signature dishes, which everyone praised them. Qin Guang also seems to be in a good mood, and it is rare that he did not train people today.
So, all the senior brothers happily pulled out these two little brothers and sisters to enjoy the night together.
"Yes, yes, it's the first time I think our Nine Heavens Sect's clothes are so good-looking. Zhu Huan shook the fan, and his smile almost swallowed his eyes.
"Then you still don't wear it?" Tian Li answered.
"Senior brother, aren't you embarrassing me? Seeing that I'm already too hot now, if I still wear so much, I'll have to be covered to death. Besides, I spend all day in the kitchen, and if I wear such a white suit, how can I let go of my hands and feet. And, most importantly, isn't it in the garden...... Hehe. β
Tianshu smiled and asked, "What is the name of the new dish of the second senior brother?"
"Once you've thought about it, I'll call it 'Black Ball'. β
"What," Hou Xin continued, "How can it be called a ball at such a point? At most, it is a pill, and it might as well be called a 'black pill'." β
"You two big bosses, tell you not to study normally, let the little junior brother and little sister laugh, right?" Tian Li laughed "haha".
"No, no, no. Tianshu smiled and shook his hand.
Qing'er looked at Tian Li, "Then senior brother take one." β
"This ...... What about this...... Tian Lidong looked west, up and down, and finally looked at Zhu Huan and Hou Xin, and said, "The three of us are old and coarse, and we are usually not good at reading books, so let the little junior brother and little sister see the jokes!"
"Haha. Qing'er laughed.
Tianshu rubbed his face that had laughed too much, relaxed his muscles, and said casually: "Since everyone can't think of it, let's call it 'unexpected'." β
Qing'er nodded, "This is good." Seriously, when I first looked at it, I really didn't expect it to be such a delicacy. It's really 'unexpected'. β
Hou Xin hurriedly continued: "I also agree, I have the same idea as the little junior sister." β
Zhu Huan waved his hand at Hou Xin, "Come on, you little monkey still have ideas?" Our senior brothers have been around for so many years, why have we never known?"
"I'm all in my stomach!" Hou Xin's face turned red all of a sudden, and he hurriedly shot back: "Besides, I'm not playing the piano to a cow to tell you." β
"You say I'm a cow, right? You say I'm a cow!" Zhu Huan stood up and put on a "golden rooster independence" pose. "Young man, show your weapons. I'm going to go head-to-head with you!"
Hou Xin was not to be outdone, pulled out the posture, and put on a look of "Dapeng spreading his wings".
Tianshu was a little unresponsive by this instantaneous situation, and just wanted to speak, but found that the senior brother was shaking his head at him with a smile on the side, and motioned for him to continue watching.
In the middle of the corridor, I saw an extremely fat and a very thin two people circling around each other like singing, their eyes staring at each other's eyes all the time. And so it went round and round, and so on. I don't know how long it took to turn.
Qing'er yawned softly.
"Okay, you blinked, you lost!" Zhu Huan pushed Hou Xin back into the chair with his stomach.
Hou Xin closed his eyes tightly, and said while wiping his tears: "Count yourself lucky today, I had insomnia yesterday, which caused me to be in a bad state at this time, so you were lucky to win, and you won't be so lucky next time!"
Zhu Huan sat back in his place, rubbing his eyes vigorously with both hands, "I haven't exerted one percent of my strength yet!"
"Okay, okay, you two are comparing like this at every turn, and after so many years, it's not just half a catty. Tian Li said.
Qing'er looked at Hou Xin and Zhu Huan, gently pushed Tianshu, and faintly floated out two words - "naΓ―ve".
Tianshu flicked her forehead lightly, then pinched her nose with two fingers and said, "This is called simplicity." β
"Eh, junior brother, you are not allowed to bully the little junior sister. Hou Xin, Zhu Huan, and Tian Li said this sentence in unison.
"I don't have ......"
"And what are your hands doing?"
Tianshu turned his head to look, and hurriedly took his hand off Qing'er's nose, and suddenly felt speechless.
"Little junior sister is now our sister, so even if you are her own brother, don't bully her!" Hou Xin said righteously.
Zhu Huan and Tian Li responded on the sidelines and expressed their deep agreement.
Qing'er stood up, ran to their side, and then turned and grimaced at Tenju.
Tianshu smiled and shook his head, "Okay, okay, I listen to the senior brothers." β
The bamboo forest sings shallowly, the moon dance is light, and the warm lights are accompanied by laughter in this piece of darkness, fainting with the wind.
"The master hasn't slept so late?" Tianshu saw that the master's room was still lit.
"The master may still be meditating and practicing. Tian Li also looked over there, "The master often practices until late at night, and I don't know why the master practices so hard." In terms of strength, conservatively calculated, there will never be more than ten people in the Sword Sect who can be above the master. β
"Master is so powerful?" Qing'er said in disbelief: "Master looks very strong, but like our Immortal Cultivation Sect, isn't it more powerful than the Bone Immortal Wind?"
"This ...... You can't just look at the surface of everything, and when the master reaches the age of the master, maybe he will also be a Dao Bone Immortal?" replied.
"Don't look at the master who always has a straight face, in fact, he is very good. Hou Xin said.
"Yes, yes. Tian Li and Zhu Huan nodded in unison.
"Really?" Qing'er also looked at the master's room, and then flattened her mouth, "It doesn't look like it." β
"You'll find out later. Tian Li said as he got up, "You two wait, I'll go get something for you." β
"What is it?" Tianshu and Qing'er watched Tian Li's figure walk back into the room and walked out again, with two more pamphlets in their hands.
"This is the introductory method of this course, which I wrote in the afternoon, and each of you has a copy. Tian Li handed them the booklet, which read "Tao Xuan Jing", and continued: "This mental method is divided into three realms: heaven, earth, and man, and each realm has a different mental method. The introductory mental method is the 'human' state of mind method, the 'earth' state mind method is the "Self-Xuan Sutra", and the 'heaven' state mind method is called the "Huaqing Heavenly Book". Every time you ascend a realm, there will be a qualitative leap. I heard the master say that only the skill above the fifth layer of the 'Heaven' realm can drive the Heavenly Sword. β
"Then what realm have you reached, senior brother?" asked Qing'er.
Tian Li said embarrassedly: "I am only at the third level of the 'earth' realm. β
Qing'er learned the tone of an adult and said, "It's okay, senior brother, work hard, the future is bright." β
Tian Li nodded honestly and said yes, but after thinking about it for a while, he felt that something was wrong.
Seeing that the people next to him were giggling, Tian Li cleared his throat and continued: "The characteristics of this sect's exercises are that they are easy to learn and difficult to master, and it takes great effort to advance each layer after reaching the 'earth' realm, for example, it takes me more time to go from the first to the second layer of the 'earth' realm than it does from the first layer of the 'human' realm to the 'earth' realm, so the introductory mental method is very easy to practice." But don't underestimate this little introductory method, it can get rid of the filth of your body, and if you practice it well, you can even be reborn. β
"It's really Senior Brother Lao!" Tianshu thanked.
Tian Li nodded, and then said, "After you have practiced this mental method, the master will teach you personally." β
Qing'er flipped it over casually and asked, "This shouldn't seem difficult to practice, how long will it take to practice?"
"It depends on the individual's qualifications. Tian Li stretched out three fingers and said, "I've been practicing for three years. β
Zhu Huan opened his squint a little, "It took me a year." β
Everyone focused their attention on Hou Xin.
Hou Xin said softly: "I have been cultivating for five years...... Still...... Not yet...... Practice ......"
"Why don't you go and help the third senior brother?" asked Qing'er.
Before Zhu Huan could answer, Tian Li had already spoken first, "At most, this person can only tell him what he learned when he was cultivating, if it weren't for our experience, the little monkey might not have today's realm." The rest must only be experienced by his own body, or he will only stay at this stage forever. β
Qing'er stopped talking, lowered her head and flipped through the pamphlet.
Tianshu patted her head gently, "What's the matter? Worried? My little Qing'er is so smart." Besides, we don't have to be Dao Flying Immortals, right? Besides, isn't there still me, brother will definitely protect you!"
"Yes, yes, and us!" Hou Xin said first.
Qing'er looked at everyone and smiled sweetly.
The night was getting deeper, the moon seemed clearer, the mountain wind seemed to have stopped, and the laughter of the people in the corridor was gone.
Tianshu was lying on the bed tossing and turning, thinking about what he should do when he got up tomorrow, practice, go shopping, and what about the day after tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow?
Suddenly, he felt a little lost and a little at a loss.
"Let it be. Tianshu sighed lightly, tossed and turned a few more times, and found that he couldn't sleep, so he turned over. He lit the lamp, and as he poured the water, he saw that the booklet was lying there quietly.
I picked it up and looked at it, looked at it, and unconsciously felt an extra breath in my body, and I wandered in my body with the path indicated by the text. When the qi came close to his chest, there was a sudden heart-wrenching pain, which made the qi disappear instantly.
What's going on?
Tianshu sat down on the bed and decided to start all over again.
Everything started as it had just started, everything was normal. But when the breath was close to his chest, the pain came again.
Tianshu gritted his teeth, and the cold sweat had soaked through the clothes on his back. He didn't know why it hurt, but he seemed to be fighting with that pain, driving the qi to move forward little by little, and with each little advance, his chest seemed to be bitten by a thousand more spiders.
Tianshu's brow was locked very, very tightly. He took a breath and wanted to rush over at once. However, just when he had just finished breathing, the pain exploded several times, and then rushed straight to his brain.
In the end, Tianshu still lost to the body. Gradually blurred consciousness, his body was completely unable to move, and in the end, he could no longer fight, so he let his consciousness fall into boundless darkness.
