Palace Master's Road to Unification

When it was almost Xu time, Han Lu and Ling Yao were exhausted, but even so they did not meet the standard arranged by the palace master. Han Lu only killed seventy, while Ling Yao killed eighty. After reading the sword manual a hundred times, the two immediately shuddered.

At this time, Ning Zheng came over with a bag: "The two junior sisters are in trouble?"

Han Lu wanted to cry but had no tears: "Brother Ning, help me!"

"What's the matter, did you not complete the task assigned by the Palace Master?"

Han Lu tearfully nodded.

"Well, how far is it?"

"I'm short of thirty, and Lingyao is short of twenty."

Ning Zheng was slightly surprised: "I thought you would be better than Junior Sister Lingyao, but I didn't expect it to be the other way around."

Han Lu felt ashamed, she was indeed not as good as Lingyao in archery, not as stable as Lingyao.

"Take some of what I have here and give it to the Palace Master." Ning Zheng handed over the bag.

Han Lu's eyes lit up: "Thank you, Brother Ning."

Lingyao hesitated, it would be really bad if the palace lord found out.

However, Han Lu had already squatted down, opened Ning Zheng's bag and put the other's prey into his own bag to make up the number.

The sky is big and the earth is big, so it is great not to copy books.

"Lingyao, come here quickly, there will be no time to dawdle!"

Lingyao sighed, crouched down as if accepting her fate, and began to "cheat".

At the end of Xu hour, it was already dark, and Han Lu and Ling Yao each dragged a big bag of things to return to their lives.

The two said respectfully: "Please ask the palace master to check."

Ziheng raised her head to signal: "Xuezhi."

"Yes." Xuezhi took a step forward, opened the prey bag the two of them had contained, and fell to the ground.

Han Lu and Lingyao remained calm on their faces, but trembled in their hearts, hoping that there would be no flaws, but luckily Xuezhi was just counting.

"Return to Palace Master, two bags of one hundred prey each."

The two didn't choose to add a few more, or reduce a few, because the task assigned by the Palace Master is this number, which is a number that requires luck for them to achieve. If there are too many, it will appear very abnormal. On the contrary, a few less Nor is it necessary.

Ziheng stepped forward and glanced lightly at the ground.

Han Lu Lingyao was shocked all over.

Ziheng glanced casually, then raised his head, without saying anything, but the two of them seemed to be facing a formidable enemy.

"What is your reaction? If you dare to do it, you have to be brave. If you don't dare to face it, don't do it."

The two knelt down with a "plop".

"Palace Master forgive me, we were wrong."

"What's wrong?"

Han Lu whispered, "You shouldn't cheat."

"anything else?"

Lingyao also lowered her head, not daring to look up at Zi Heng: "You shouldn't lie to the Palace Master."

Ziheng's expression was calm: "Understood, you will each catch a hundred fish tomorrow, and when you finish fishing, you will rest."

Hearing these words, the two were instantly discouraged, with a look of lovelessness on their faces.

"have opinions?"

"No... no."

It's easy to talk about ordinary fishing, but Jiuxiao Palace has its own requirements for hunting on the second day. Under this rule, Han Lu feels that he can go without sleep for three days.

"What's the matter?" Ning Zheng was walking casually in the mountains, and seeing Ziheng admonishing people here, she came over to take a look.

But the two people kneeling on the ground looked very familiar.

The moment Ning Zheng saw it, she understood what was going on, and Ziheng must have discovered the matter.

"Palace Master, don't be angry, they are still young."

Zi Heng ignored Ning Zheng's words, but casually threw the sword manual in his hand to the other party.

Indifferently said: "Copy this sword technique five hundred times."

Ning Zheng: "...?"

"The two of them are young and ignorant. You have passed the age of the crown, but you are still so childish. I am extremely disappointed. During the period of copying the book, reflect on yourself."

It is impossible to say that this book is not intimidating, Ning Zheng was silent for a moment, and replied: "Yes."

Then he turned around and went to find a place to copy the sword manual.

Through the moonlight, she saw clearly that there were four words written on the cover of the book - "Sword of Broken Stars". Ning Zheng blinked and couldn't help laughing. The Palace Master was generous.

It would not be a loss if he copied the "Broken Star Sword Art" five hundred times, but if the palace lord gave him the "Broken Star Sword Art", would there be any deep meaning behind it?

He rejected the other party's offer to accept him three years ago, partly because the time and place proposed by the other party were too weird, and it was a bit of a challenge for a young man in his prime to worship a woman who was about his age as his teacher.

Then I remembered that Qiushui Palace is full of women, how could the other party accept me as a disciple, it's probably just a joke.

But I answered it so seriously, it really is...

But before knowing Zi Heng's identity, he also thought about what it is for a woman and what it is for a similar age. At that time, he really should do whatever it takes to survive.

The ancients said: Born before me, he heard the Tao before me, and I learned from it; after being born after me, he also heard the Tao before me, and I learned from it.I am a teacher of Taoism, so I don’t know how many years they were born to me?

Why should he care about these mundane things?

But a missed opportunity is a missed opportunity.

Ning Zheng has never stayed in Jiuxiao Palace before, Yuchan Mountain is not far from Jiuxiao Palace, it will only take him a while to go back, but he wants to stay here these few days.

Because the current Yuchan Mountain doesn't mean much to him anymore, his only task is to control it for the palace lord.

Ning Zheng asked the disciples beside her, "Where is my room?"

The disciple replied: "The Palace Master has ordered that there will be no room until Mr. Ning finishes copying."

"Well, where do I copy the books?"

"There is a gazebo next to the silver osmanthus transplanted by Mr. Ning, and the pen, ink, paper and inkstone have also been prepared."

Ning Zheng nodded, and left alone with a lamp. Everyone had already rested after a day of exhaustion, and he was the only one carrying a lamp on the road.

He put the palace lantern aside, sat down and began to write quickly.

At night, in the deep silence, Ning Zheng copied for a long time, suddenly felt that his eyes were a little dry, his eyes were not good, and copying under such a dim light would only add to the burden, but he refused to stop.

After a few hours, my eyes couldn't hold it anymore, so I closed them heavily and fell asleep. The pen in my hand had also been let go and fell to the ground.

After a while, a person passed by and picked up the brush again, and put it back in his hand.

Standing beside Ning Zheng, he didn't know what he should do, and he didn't dare to do anything. He lived here like a walking corpse every day, which was really meaningless. He wanted to kill himself, but he couldn't let go of his mind.

The eyes around her were so hot that Ruoning Zheng would probably feel nauseated again when she was awake at this moment.

In the dream, Ning Zheng went back to three years ago. After Ziheng left that day, Ning Zheng stayed in the cave for seven days. During these seven days, tigers roared and wolves roared outside. He couldn't make a fire at night, and every time he heard the sound outside, he felt a wave of fear. I am afraid that I will be devoured by wild beasts, and I will not even keep my bones.

In the cave, he insisted on staying awake for seven days, and finally he couldn't hold it anymore and passed out. He himself was seriously injured, and he hadn't been healed yet. I'm afraid this body is really going to be scrapped.

When Ning Zheng woke up again, he was in Yuchan Mountain. Looking at the familiar room, he didn't feel relaxed, nor did he feel lucky about his life after the catastrophe.

In just a few days, I went to the ghost gate several times, and no one could calm down.

Looking at the roof of his room, he couldn't believe that he was still alive.

At this time, someone opened the door.

"Junior brother, you finally woke up." Nangong Yun's voice was full of surprise and disbelief, which was quite different from the seriousness and indifference of the past.

Ning Zheng sat up with difficulty: "Brother, how long have I been in a coma?"

Nangong Yun quickly walked over to help Ning Zheng, frowning: "It's been a month, and you are seriously injured."

Ning Zheng rubbed her head: "How did I get back?"

His last memory was fainting in that cave, with the howling of ferocious beasts in his ears, he thought he would not survive.

"I found you in a cave and brought you back."

"Is this cave hard to find?"

Nangong Yun was silent for a while: "It's not difficult."

"Then why haven't master and brother found me?"

Nangong Yun bowed his head and remained silent.

But Ning Zheng vaguely guessed it, and looked straight at Nangong Yun with extremely serious eyes: "Master gave up on me, didn't he?"

He stayed in the cave for at least half a month, but no one came to look for him. No matter how big Jiluo Mountain was, it was impossible to spend so long.

Nangong Yun paused, lowered her eyelids, as if she didn't know what to say, she sighed softly: "It's good to be back."

His senior brother's face is like a crown of jade, and his posture is moon-like, and his demeanor is the best among the disciples of all sects, but he has no intention of admiring it at the moment.

Ning Zheng couldn't help sneering in his heart, he was just a wayfinding tool in Jiang Hong's heart, no matter what he did, he was not as good as his senior brother, and it didn't matter if he died.

"Brother, let me be quiet, you go out first."

He will definitely get this account back.

He didn't know the name or identity of the woman he met in the mountain. In order not to let himself forget, Ning Zheng drew a portrait. In order not to arouse suspicion, he didn't hang up the portrait, but took it out from time to time. one look.

His eyes were injured at that time, and the other person's appearance was not very clear to him, but the purple clothes and cold breath were unforgettable.

If he saw it again, he would definitely recognize it.

And that portrait also lacks a face.

It was a year later that I saw that woman again. The injuries on his body had completely healed, but his eyes could never return to their previous state, and they were always blurred when looking far away.

This is always unfavorable for a martial arts practitioner, but Ning Zheng was lucky that only his eyes were hurt.

If life is gone, what eyes are needed.

He went to Qiushui Palace with his senior brother, because the lord of Qiushui Palace suddenly wanted to appoint a deputy palace lord in the palace, and he had already decided on a candidate, so he invited all the sects to come as guests. Originally, Jiang Hong looked down on Qiushui Palace and Ruan Qiushui, so naturally He didn't plan to go, but the distance between the two places was really close, and it would be difficult to get through without expressing something, so he sent Nangong Yun to go with a congratulatory gift.

Before his senior brother left, he insisted on taking him out to relax, but he couldn't resist him, so he had to follow.

And in Qiushui Palace, he saw that person.

That person was dressed in purple, isolated from the world, she stood at the top, disdainful of everything, as proud as if she was the master of this place.

Ning Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up. Afterwards, he found a time when no one was around, and walked to the other party: "Long time no see."

Ziheng thought for a long time before remembering the person in front of him: "You are still alive."

Ning Zheng smiled, it was a sincere smile from the heart: "I haven't repaid my favor, how can I die."

He hasn't taken revenge yet, how can he die.

If the teacher is not benevolent, the disciple will be unrighteous.

The author has something to say:

He was born before me, and he heard the Tao before me, and I learned from it; born after me, he heard the Tao also before me, and I learned from it.My teacher is the Tao, does Hu Yong know that his years were born in me?

Taken from Han Yu's "Shi Shuo"

It means that the person who was born before me knew the truth earlier than me, and I should learn from him; the person who was born later than me also learned the truth earlier than me, and I should also learn from him. Learning, why do you care if the other party was born earlier or later than me?

This is a high school text, everyone should have learned =-=
