Fifth Elder Chen Ruoyu looked at the First Elder and complained: "I say First Elder, how old is the disciple of the leader, and you take him to the temple to fight with others, is this appropriate?"

Speaking of this, Qingxu and other elders felt that the elder was a little impulsive.

The great elder looked at everyone and replied coldly: "My original intention was to take that boy to see the majesty of the temple and let him see our elders from Shangqing Temple exposed to the wind, rain and sun...

"

Seeing that a group of people stopped talking, the great elder continued: "But if they don't do it, I have to fight with us! Fortunately, I have a proud disciple, Qingxu, since you don't know how to teach him, then you will

Let me teach!”

When Qingxu heard this, he was immediately speechless.

There was nothing wrong with what the great elder said. He just wanted to take his disciples to the temple to see the dead elder. Unexpectedly, the other party refused and insisted on a fight to the death.

At this time, he remembered how his disciples fought all the way back on the way back to the mountain last winter.

"The night before I took him to the temple, he had just broken through to the ninth level of foundation building... Think about it for yourselves... That kid didn't want to come down to accept your applause, and you also don't

Don't disturb his practice."

Qingxu sighed and asked, "When will Master Uncle Qingyun be buried?"

The Great Elder looked at everyone and replied quietly: "Today is the day. This golden coffin has been prepared for countless years, and it can finally be put to use today."

The second elder Qingfeng looked at the eldest elder and replied: "Then let's arrange it at noon. Everyone will move to the Lingfeng of Houshan Mountain now. The tomb has been prepared. We just have to wait for the time to arrive."

The great elder looked at Qingxu and Qingfeng and replied: "Then do what you want."

Suddenly, the bell of Shangqingguan rang nine times again. The second elder and the fifth elder personally held Qingyun's body. Under the watchful eyes of more than two hundred disciples and elders, the group slowly headed towards Houshan Lingfeng.

Lingfeng is the place where the elders of Shangqingguan who failed to overcome the tribulation are buried. There are also elders who died on their own after their spiritual path was cut off.

The road to spiritual practice is long, and not all practitioners can hear the Tao and break through the void and ascend in one day.

Qingxu and his seven disciples quietly followed the great elder.

On this day, Shangqing Temple closed the mountain gate, and all the elders' disciples and the handymen who were cooking and cleaning came to the back mountain Lingfeng just to see the thirty-sixth elder off.

The great elder stood in front of Qingyun's tomb, looked at the more than two hundred disciples below and said in pain: "Thirty-six elders, does not mean that there are thirty-six elders in Shangqing Temple, but refers to those who died on the Tianshui Cliff in the temple.

The thirty-sixth elder."

After speaking, he glanced at Qingxu, the second elder and others, and continued: "Tianshui Cliff has been wiped out by Shura's calamity, and now there are only thirty-five floors left... This is his fate.

, is also the destiny of Shangqingguan and the temple!”

Qingxu was speechless upon hearing this. He was ordered by the leader to protect Shangqing Temple, not to seek revenge.

The second elder looked at the first elder and asked: "Will this put too much pressure on Shura? He is only a ten-year-old child?"

The Great Elder looked at everyone quietly, looked up at a certain place in the sky, and murmured: "The sky here is too small. I want the temple to become that child's whetstone..."

Hearing these words, a group of elders were stunned. It turned out that the elders wanted to make the entire temple a whetstone for the youngest disciple of Shangqing Guan.

Qingxu and several disciples were also shocked. It turned out that the junior brother was so important in the heart of the elder.

Only Qingxu knows that becoming a star in the sky is not the end for his youngest disciple.

Yueying held Qingxu's hand, her eyes filled with pride and pride, this was her brother.

At ten o'clock in the afternoon, the great elder personally sent the golden coffin with the lid closed into the tomb. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the tomb was slowly sealed.

The elders lit incense candles. This has been the wish of Shangqingguan for hundreds of years, and it was completed today!

After closing the tomb, the great elder looked at the many disciples and elders and said: "I don't ask you to dominate the world. As long as you do your best, don't let others knock on your door without being able to fight back!"

After saying this, the great elder turned around and left without looking back.

He has completed his mission, and the rest is left to the little guy on the bamboo peak.

What he has to do is to grow up with this child, and beware of the enemy's plot before he grows into a big tree.

The great elder left Lingfeng with his front foot and headed towards Bamboo Peak with his back foot.

He was checking to see if the two guys were slacking off in his absence.

After these days of running in, he has foreseen that the big guy he bought will become the little guy's lifelong friend. As long as we sincerely give each other, who says that people and monsters can't become close friends?

...

Not a moment later, Qingxu was sitting in the blue-tiled house beside the big lake belonging to her senior sister, looking at the disciples in front of her in silence.

After a long time, the senior sister said: "This matter is between the elder and the junior brother. Don't blame yourself. We can't fight against the temple alone."

Upon hearing this, the third senior sister nodded solemnly and replied: "What the elder said is right. We must have the ability to protect ourselves since we were young. We cannot let others bully us before we have the strength to fight back."

The second senior brother looked at everyone and sighed: "We have lived too comfortably these years. Look at the young junior brother who was dragged into the Tianhuang Mountain by the elder to train hard as soon as he started."

Yueying thought for a while, looked at the master and said: "Master, the elder said that he wants Yueying to move to Zhufeng and let the big guy practice with Yueying. The big guy seems to be very powerful. Even my brother can't beat it."

Qingxu thought for a while and said with a smile: "It's best if it can accompany you in your cultivation. It can't speak yet. When it can speak next year, maybe you two will become good friends."

Regarding the ape that the Great Elder had retrieved, Qingxu naturally understood the Great Elder's painstaking efforts. The disciples in the Taoist temple did not kill anyone, so they naturally made little progress in their cultivation.

And this ape's wild nature has not faded away, and he is the best partner for sparring.

When the third senior sister heard this, she frowned and asked, "Junior sister, aren't you afraid of it?"

Upon hearing this, Yueying narrowed her eyes and smiled: "Don't be afraid, the big guy is very kind to Yueying... Oh, by the way, my brother bought a few jars of soju in the town under the temple, saying it was for the master and senior sister.

Senior brother’s.”

After saying this, Yueying took seven bottles of wine and put them on the table, looked at everyone and smiled.

When Qingxu saw it, he laughed and scolded: "Your brother treats me as a teacher the same as your senior sister?"

Upon hearing this, Yueying quickly replied: "Brother said that he forgot to buy gifts for senior sister and master at that time. These wines were snatched back from the great elder..."

The senior sister sighed and said: "Your junior brother is all focused on cultivation. If the elder hadn't reminded him, I probably wouldn't even have a jar of wine."

The third senior sister looked at Yueying and asked: "What treasure did your brother buy for you?"

Yueying took a bad look and hurriedly stepped aside. Pointing to the boots on her feet, she said, "I just bought two pairs of boots, a few skirts, and not even any snacks."

The senior sister glared at the third senior sister and said with a smile: "I think he is just a piece of wood. He can only buy shoes and skirts for his sister. How can he remember you?"

Qingxu looked at the seven disciples and smiled bitterly and said: "You should also focus on practicing, especially the sixth one. I'm afraid that your seventh junior brother will catch up with your cultivation next year."

The Sixth Senior Brother was startled when he heard this. He looked at him and said in disbelief: "In less than three years, you have broken through to Nascent Soul?"

The third senior sister was also startled, looked at Qingxu and asked: "It seems that the elder has spent a lot of effort on the junior brother?"

Qingxu sighed softly: "I let him practice on his own because I wanted him to live a happy life on the mountain for a few years. Unexpectedly, the great elder didn't want him to be quiet..."

Yueying thought for a while and replied: "I heard from my brother that the Great Elder would go crazy every day and chase him from the Bamboo Peak to the Wild Plains."

The sixth junior brother was startled when he heard this, and said in a daze: "Chasing from here all the way to the wilderness..."

Now the second senior brother and the third senior sister were speechless. Who in Shangqingguan didn't know that once the great elder goes crazy, he will not be recognized by his relatives.

Qingxu looked at Yueying, nodded and smiled and said: "Now you should know how your junior brother practices? When he went there, he was chased by the great elder, and when he came back, he was chased by the big guy at the fourth level of Nascent Soul. Let's try it instead.

"

Everyone was speechless for a moment.

Only Yueying was thinking about what it would be like to be chased by a big guy after she climbed onto the Bamboo Peak.

...

When night fell, the north wind was already blowing on Zhufeng.

The big man moved into the elder's stone house to rest. It was windy outside and it would snow soon. The bamboo shed could make tea and entertain guests, but there was no way to sleep.

After working hard all day, Yueying also went to sleep in the wooden house early. She would get up early tomorrow to practice with the big guy.

The charcoal fire was burning brightly on the small stove, and Shura was making tea and chatting with the great elder.

Holding a cup of tea, the Great Elder looked directly at Shura and said: "You are now standing on the cusp of the storm in the temple, Phoenix Sect, and Shangqing Temple. Are you afraid?!"

Shura shook his head and replied: "Don't be afraid!"

The Great Elder sighed and said: "Everyone has underestimated you, even I have underestimated you. From now on, you will have to walk a lonely path of practice, and maybe the only one who will always be with you is the big guy.

....."

Shura shook his head, smiled, and replied: "I don't care about other people, at least I still have my sister by my side."

The great elder fell silent.

The fire was raging, and Shura added water to the pot.

After a while, the great elder said softly: "I hope she can have a quiet life and stay in the temple to practice until she gets married."

"And your life is just like mine, destined to be lonely... Maybe only after the big man transforms can he be by your side."

Having said this, the great elder took a sip of hot tea, looked at him and said, "Since you are already suffering a lot, don't let Yueying suffer like you. This is your responsibility as a brother."

When Shura heard this, he smiled bitterly and said, "The Great Elder thinks too highly of me. Naturally, I hope that my sister can live happily in the temple."

The great elder shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "Next, I can only protect you. Sometimes I may get confused. At that time, I can only rely on my big man to protect you!"

Shura said in a deep voice: "Great Elder, you are so polite. I am no longer a child. Maybe I will be able to break into the Nascent Soul by this time next year."
