two juniors

"It's nothing, I'm fine, there's no need to apologize." Xin Goudan lowered his head, not daring to look at Zhong Yiran.

Thinking that it was because of what happened yesterday that the junior brother was a little afraid of him, Zhong Yiran didn't force it, thinking that the future would be long and he had to make up for this lonely junior brother, so he put down his clothes and gave some instructions before leaving.

Yesterday he promised his senior brother to practice kung fu well, and today he apologized to his junior brother and went to the back mountain to practice hard.

Xin Goudan looked at the clothes Zhong Yiran sent over, and stretched out his hand to stroke the dark pattern on it, which was so delicate that he had never seen it before.

After silently putting the clothes away, my stomach groaned a few times before I remembered that I hadn't eaten since last night.

Taoist Qingfeng gave him a bigu pill, but Taoist Qingfeng has been practicing Taoism for many years, and he has long since no longer needed that kind of thing, and what he gave him was left over from hundreds of years ago, and its effectiveness has been greatly reduced, so it should have been topped. Sun's stuff, he's hungry in the morning.

At this moment Xu Shaoqing pushed the door open and entered, just hearing this voice, couldn't help but chuckle.

Seeing his smile, Xin Goudan stretched his brows, rolled his eyes, and slightly raised the corners of his mouth, which was ten thousand times more beautiful than a flower bud that bloomed in spring. My stomach screamed a hundred times, a thousand times.

As he thought this way, his face couldn't help turning red, thinking that when he was in the village in the past, everyone said that the second girl of the landlord's house in the east of the village was beautiful. , It's not even a ten-thousandth as good-looking as the big brother.

Seeing Xin Goudan standing there blankly, Xu Shaoqing thought she had offended him, and was about to apologize when she heard Xin Goudan's voice of admiration, "Brother, you look so pretty when you smile."

"Really?" After hearing this, Xu Shaoqing didn't have much joy, the smile on his face restrained a bit, and he said lightly, "I forgot that you haven't bigu yet, and the kitchen is just outside the next few rooms. Later, I went to Waifeng to get firewood and rice for you, so you can cook and eat every day."

Afraid that he would not understand, he explained, "You are not good enough, so you can't take Bigu pills often, otherwise your spleen and stomach will be insufficient, and it will affect your body instead. But it's okay to use less now."

Xin Goudan bowed his head and answered yes, took the bottle that Xu Shaoqing handed him, and put it in his arms with great care. He didn't dare to think or laugh, and raised his head to look at him eagerly, his eyes full of hope.

Seeing him like this, Xu Shaoqing's heart softened again, thinking that the child's praise of his appearance was just an unintentional mistake, so she said seriously, "You are still young now, and you don't know the bottom line. You need to know that people who practice Taoism must stick to their hearts and not You should be confused by skins. When you see me, you only know that I am good-looking, but you don’t know the size of the world. There are many people who are hundreds of times more beautiful than me, but they may not all be the same. If there is a person with a heart like a snake, you If you only see the surface, you will suffer a lot.”

What he said was well-founded, and Xin Goudan lowered his head when he said it, but he was thinking in his heart that there would be someone better-looking than Eldest Brother.

After Xin Goudan ate Bigu Pill, he listened to Xu Shaoqing explaining the practice to him. After explaining the history of our sect and the simple introductory exercises, he said, "Try to draw qi into the body. Practice it in the past few days." Wait, come to me when you have the feeling, and I will teach you how to circulate in the body. I will come and teach you how to practice calligraphy in the afternoon. His talent will surely yield something."

After listening to Xu Shaoqing's words, Xin Goudan nodded seriously, hoping that he could improve faster, and faster, so as to make his senior brother happy.

Seeing Xu Shaoqing leave, he looked forward to the door for a long time, until he was sure that he had really gone far away, then he returned to the house with some disappointment, the senior brother didn't look back at him.

He bowed his head and meditated for a while, thinking of the exercises he had just learned, he cheered up again.If he can work harder, work harder, surpass Zhong Yiran, the senior brother will definitely notice him.

Xin Goudan quickly settled down according to what Xu Shaoqing had just taught.At this time Xu Shaoqing had already left his yard, walked quickly to the back hill, saw that Zhong Yiran was really working hard, smiled slightly, and felt very comforted in his heart, the junior finally knew that he was working hard, it was great.

If because of the arrival of the little junior brother, let him change his independent temperament and know how to be friendly and progressive, that would be fine.Thinking of this, the smile on Xu Shaoqing's face deepened, and Zhong Yiran, who accidentally turned her head, looked straight at her. "Senior brother, you're here." Zhong Yiran saw Xu Shaoqing, immediately put away his sword and jumped over, holding his hand tightly.She raised her eyes cautiously again, "Aren't senior brothers angry with me?"

Xu Shaoqing reached out to touch his hair, licked up the strands that had fallen due to practice, and said with a smile, "When was I really angry with you? I just wanted you to change your character."

Zhong Yiran was both happy and anxious, looked up at his senior brother, and found that his eyes were full of smiles, so he let go of his courage, leaned on his senior brother's chest, and said coquettishly, "I know, I will change it."

Xu Shaoqing smiled, "Come on, let me see how you're doing." At that moment, the two of you came and went to each other, and when they were tired, they lay down on the grass together, resting their arms on their pillows and looking at the flowing clouds in the sky.

The shape of the flowing clouds changes without reason, which is what they like to see most, especially the clouds and mist on the Chilian Peak, where the flowing clouds in the sky change shapes every now and then, which is unpredictable.The two of them lay on the grass, emptied their minds, and quietly enjoyed this rare peace.

"Senior brother, I have something to tell you." Probably Xin Goudan's arrival made Zhong Yiran feel uneasy, and he couldn't wait to prove that he was the most important person in his senior brother's heart.

Xu Shaoqing looked at him sideways, "What's the matter?"

Zhong Yiran blushed suddenly, and he looked up at the sky, not daring to look at Xu Shaoqing again, a shy smile appeared on his lips, "I'll tell you when I give the tassels."

Granting tassels is extremely important to the disciples of Wenxian Mountain. Only after passing the test can the disciples who have been granted tassels be able to walk outside, which means that their strength and character are recognized by the mountain gate, and they can represent a part of the master's will when they go out.

Xu Shaoqing had been awarded the tassel three years ago, and originally planned to go out to practice, but at that time Zhong Yiran pestered him and refused to let him go, and the master Qingfeng Taoist always practiced in seclusion, the younger brother has only been a beginner for a few years, it is too pitiful to be alone.When he saw his younger brother biting his lips and pretending to be strong, he couldn't bear it, so he stayed until now.

I don't know why Zhong Yiran is so mysterious, so Xu Shaoqing didn't ask any more questions, and told him, "It's not an easy task to grant tassels. It's a test of strength and character. You have to remember, killing evil people At the same time, we must support justice and support our colleagues. In this way, we will not change the true nature of my way."

When he said that, something must have happened, and Zhong Yiran kept pestering him with questions.Xu Shaoqing couldn't help but sighed, "At that time, there was Senior Brother Yi who was the most powerful. It's a pity that during the test, he only cared about himself and didn't read from the same school. If he had the ability to rescue him, he retreated completely. It caused the casualties of two juniors, so there is no chance of awarding tassels anymore."

It turned out to be the case.

Zhong Yiran nodded, a little puzzled, "Wouldn't it be that I have to go all out to save my irrelevant classmates? But senior brother, no one can make me save my life except you." These words can be regarded as cold, but Xu Shaoqing has always been Knowing the temperament of my junior brother, I just smiled and said, "Your own life is naturally the most important, but if you can, don't forget to help your fellow sects. Only when everyone is united can you revitalize the sect and eliminate demons." magic."

Zhong Yiran nodded, keeping the brother's words in mind.He doesn't have any fellowship, but if he fails to pass the conferment, his senior brother will lose face. Everyone knows that the master retreats, and he was raised by his senior brother. If he fails to pass, he will not only be the one who will lose face.

For the sake of senior brother, he will succeed, Zhong Yiran made up his mind.

What's more, quietly touching the things in his arms, Zhong Yiran felt a hint of sweetness in his heart.After granting tassels, he will beg his senior brother to become a Taoist couple with him. If the senior brother agrees, then they will be together forever and will not be separated from life to life;

If the senior brother disagrees, then he just flies away, leaves this place, never sees the senior brother, hides far away alone, would rather die outside than see the love and sweetness of the senior brother and the Taoist companion, it will make him feel like a knife.

It is only seven years until the next ear award, and although Zhong Yiran has been a beginner for five years, he has not worked too hard. Of course, there is a reason for his lazy personality, and Xu Shaoqing can't bear to punish him.If it goes on like this, whether it can pass the test is still a matter of opinion.

Although his family has a long history, his parents have passed away long ago, and his master is obsessed with cultivation. Xu Shaoqing has taken him hand in hand all these years.Ask anyone on Xianshan Mountain whether he is half of Xu Shaoqing's apprentice, if he really fails, it will be really embarrassing for Xu Shaoqing.

Thinking of this, Zhong Yiran jumped up, refused to be lazy, and practiced hard.Seeing him like this, Xu Shaoqing was naturally satisfied, and after watching for a while, thinking of Xin Goudan, she quietly went back to her residence.

Wen Xianshan is towering into the clouds. It is the afternoon when the sun is hot. Although there is a cool breeze outside, the room is extremely stuffy. Fortunately, Zhong Yiran and Xu Shaoqing have immortal body protection, so they are not afraid of cold and heat, but Xin Goudan endured the stuffy air.

When Xu Shaoqing entered his room, what he saw was Xin Goudan trying to put on an upbeat look on the kang, with his eyes closed, beads of sweat rolling down his bare head, and his forehead was wet.

This child, Xu Shaoqing admired, was also amazed by his perseverance in his heart, and opened the window in the past to make the air in the house less stuffy.

When Xin Goudan heard the movement, he opened his eyes and saw his senior brother.Overjoyed in his heart, he retracted his posture and wanted to get down to the ground to meet him, but he stayed upside down for too long, his limbs were sore and limp, and he threw himself firmly to the ground again.
