The barking of dogs intertwined with the screams of monkeys, echoing on the Dazhu Peak of Qingyun Mountain, breaking the tranquility here. Zhang Xiaofan held the black fire stick in his hand, rushed out of the kitchen door, and said angrily: "Death dog! Die.
Monkey! If you have the guts, don’t run away!”
The monkey Xiao Hui jumped on the back of the big yellow dog with a swish. The big yellow, which had already gathered momentum, spread out and ran away. Zhang Xiaofan couldn't catch up. He watched Xiao Hui make a face and put a fragrant meat bone into the big yellow dog's back.
In the mouth.
The rhubarb was so excited that the dog's face was so happy that if the two rows of teeth hadn't been biting the meat and bones, the dog's teeth would have fallen off from laughing.
"call!……"
Zhang Xiaofan walked back to the kitchen with a frustrated face and angrily. He had been in charge of the kitchen since he was fourteen years old, and his craftsmanship impressed everyone. Dahuang, with his "taoist old dog" behavior, couldn't help coveting the delicious food in Zhang Xiaofan's hands.
Especially the meat bones used by Zhang Xiaofan to make soup are fragrant and delicious, and it is the feast that Rhubarb dreams of.
However, Zhang Xiaofan makes soup for people to drink. Although Rhubarb is older (Tian Buyi raised him since childhood) and more qualified, he does not get the treatment he deserves. He often covets it but cannot get it.
After it became familiar with the monkey Xiao Hui, the above scene often appeared on Dazhu Peak, which lasted for two years. No matter how secretly Zhang Xiaofan hid the meat and bones, as long as he had Da Huang's nose and Xiao Hui's flexibility, he could
This battle of flesh and bones often ends with Zhang Xiaofan's defeat.
Two years have passed by in a hurry. In fact, it is only one and a half years. Zhang Xiaofan has grown into a sixteen-year-old boy. He is taller and is now half a head taller than his senior sister Tian Linger.
During this period of time, due to Tian Buyi's original strict order, all the disciples on Dazhu Peak were practicing hard behind closed doors. Except for Du Bishu, the sixth man who traveled down the mountain, only Zhang Xiaofan, the chef, had the most leisure time.
For two years, Zhang Xiaofan has been practicing alone without anyone noticing. What he didn't believe himself was that according to the method taught to him by his senior brother Song Daren, it took him only one year to achieve it.
I have completed the second level of Yuqing Realm - Qi Refining.
He had doubts in his heart, but he did not ask Tian Buyi after all. Song Daren, Tian Linger and others had been concentrating on practicing behind closed doors and had no time to care about other matters. Du Bishu, his best friend, went down the mountain again, so he only asked this question.
Hidden in my heart.
But then there was a big difficulty in front of him. Tian Linger privately gave him the third-level magic formula. He knew very well that this was a big violation of the rules, but late at night, he was alone
When a person stands in the small courtyard and looks up at the night sky, he will think of a sentence - no matter how hard you practice, you will be better than Senior Brother Qi Hao!
Ten nights later, he began to practice the third level of magic!
In the Xuanqing Tao of Tai Chi, the first to third levels of the Jade Clear Realm are the foundation of all spells, and the difficulty is also gradually increasing. Unlike the first two levels of "Introducing Qi" and "Refining Qi", the third level's magic formula is "Vital Qi".
", has focused on cultivating Tai Chi Yuan Qi.
The Fa Jue says: "Tai Chi Yuan Qi combines three parts into one. Ji is the middle; Yuan is the beginning, and it travels in the twelfth hour... This Yin and Yang combines virtues, and the Qi is in the Zi, and it transforms all things." (Note:
The phrase comes from "Hanshu. Lvlizhi")
When the disciples of the Qingyun Sect reach this level of cultivation, there will be a clear dividing line, and the level of qualifications will be clear at a glance.
Intelligent people often break through to a higher realm of "expelling things" in one fell swoop, and then lay a solid foundation for practicing the immortal way. However, less powerful disciples often stagnate and waste their lives.
Zhang Xiaofan has been a student for five years now, so he has naturally heard these things countless times during conversations with his seniors, but it is obvious that all the seniors classify him as being in the "slightly worse" category.
He walked back to the kitchen, came to the stove, filled up the water, and then continued to add firewood to the stove to boil some water.
The bright yellow flame became strong again. Zhang Xiaofan took his poor black "fire stick" that had been used for two years and fiddled with the wood in the stove. After the fire burned steadily, his eyes slowly fell on the fire stick in his hand.
This one is on a fire stick.
But this was not something he discovered, but a very common thing - he was in a daze.
The black fire stick is only one foot long except for the bead on the head. The only abnormality is that under the black color of the fire stick, there are faint blood-like veins, especially on the short stick and the ball.
The interface is even more obvious, and sometimes it almost seems like the two things are fused together with human blood.
Zhang Xiaofan's whole body suddenly trembled. The thought of human blood merging that just flashed through his mind made him feel sick.
Over the years, he has gradually forgotten about that trip to the valley. He only occasionally dreams about it late at night, but he will suddenly dream about that strange experience, and he will wake up in a sweat.
At that time, he felt that he was very lonely, facing the unknown ferocity alone, and facing the dark death alone. At this time, he always found it difficult to suppress his inexplicable emotional excitement, with a hint of fanatical impulse,
I can't help but feel like killing.
Even in the darkness, he recalled the strange fanaticism in Monk Puzhi's eyes when he looked at him at the edge of the broken grass temple many years ago!
Zhang Xiaofan had no idea why he had such a strange feeling, but fortunately, he still had a way to calm his horrified heart - Brahma Prajna!
This set of supreme Buddhist techniques has the magical effect of deterring evil spirits and purifying the mind. He has practiced it for five years, and its greatest use is to suppress the strange emotions that have appeared inexplicably in the past two years.
"Snapped!"
Zhang Xiaofan felt a pain in his head, and something fell to the ground, but it was a pine cone. Zhang Xiaofan was furious, turned around and said angrily: "Damn monkey, don't let me catch you... Hey, you are... ah!"
Sixth Senior Brother!"
Zhang Xiaofan jumped up and saw a man standing at the door, with a medium build, a lean face, a smile on his face, and a small baggage on his back. Who could it be if it wasn't the old Liu Du Bishu whom he hadn't seen for a long time?
Du Bishu looked Zhang Xiaofan up and down and said, "Awesome! In just a few years, you have grown as tall as me."
Zhang Xiaofan walked up quickly, grabbed Du Bishu's shoulders with force, and said with a smile: "Sixth Senior Brother, why have you been gone for so long? We all miss you so much!"
Du Bishu smiled and said, "Am I back now?"
Zhang Xiaofan then asked: "Master, does your wife know that you are back?"
Du Bishu said: "No, I just came back and saw smoke in the kitchen here, so I came over to take a look. Haha, I knew you were working here. I haven't seen you in a few years. Did you miss me?"
Zhang Xiaofan felt happy and nodded repeatedly. Du Bishu touched his head and suddenly whispered: "Come on, accompany me to see Master."
Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment and said: "Why do you still need me to accompany you?"
Du Bishu said with a bitter face: "Master asked me to go down the mountain and agreed that it would be limited to one year, but I played too much, eh! No, I searched for half a year more before I found good materials to refine the magic weapon. I'm afraid I’m going to be scolded by Master. You go with me!”
Zhang Xiaofan glared at him and said: "Then you said you came to see me first. By the way, Sixth Senior Brother, what kind of magic weapon are you practicing?"
Du Bishu laughed dryly and said: "Haha, of course I came to see you first, little junior brother, let's go! Let's go!" He pulled Zhang Xiaofan and left.
After a while, Dahuang, who was hiding in a corner, chewing on bones, and Xiaohui, who was leaning on its back to catch lice, both heard a roar coming from the Shoujing Hall: "Unscrupulous people, I'm so angry." 1
At dinner time, everyone in Dazhu Peak reunited for the first time in the past two years and sat at the same table to eat.
When everyone sat down, Tian Buyi still had an angry look on his face. After greeting Du Bishu, all the disciples couldn't help but quietly asked him: "Lao Liu, why did master get so angry when he saw you?"
Du Bishu looked embarrassed, looking around at him, while Zhang Xiaofan, who was sitting next to him, had a smile on his face, but he didn't dare to laugh out loud, looking quite weird.
At this time, Tian Linger, who was sitting opposite, finally couldn't bear it anymore and was the first to ask Tian Buyi: "Dad, Sixth Senior Brother finally came back, why are you still so angry?"
Du Bishu quietly raised his eyes and looked at Tian Buyi. Tian Buyi glared at him, which made Du Bishu lower his head in fear. Tian Buyi snorted and said: "Sixth, show your magic weapon to everyone!"
Du Bishu opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything. He raised his eyes to look at his master's wife, Suru, and saw Suru smiling and saying: "Bishu, please take it out and show it to everyone! Let everyone know why your master is angry. ?”
Seeing that he couldn't put it off, Du Bishu took his little bundle slowly, shook it twice, took out a few things from the middle, and put them on the table.
Everyone did not blink, staring straight at it for fear of missing something. The dining room was extremely quiet for a while.
On the dining table, there were three objects that seemed to be made of some kind of hard wood, about half the size of a fist. They were six-sided squares, all white, with various points carved on them, but they were three dice.
Everyone was stunned and speechless, and after a moment they burst into laughter.
Du Bishu's face turned red. Tian Buyi looked at him with anger on his face and said angrily: "Rotten wood cannot be carved!"
But at this moment, Suru smiled and shook his head, saying: "Forget it, it's not a big deal, just roll the dice! Anyway, this magic weapon is for his own use."
Tian Buyi glared at his apprentice and said to Suru: "How do you know he is not using this to cheat?"
Du Bishu was startled and said quickly: "Master, Master, my disciples will never dare to do such a dirty and shameless thing. I just found a thousand-year-old three-bead tree (Note 1) by the Chishui River in the south a few years ago. It is extremely spiritual. I carved these three dice based on their essence, completely on a whim, and never thought of anything else..."
Tian Buyi was furious and said: "You are happy, huh, you can just practice other things. Now you have made a pair of gambling tools. When the Seven Meridians Competition is held in a month, when you appear on stage, I will Do you still have the face?"
Du Bishu didn't dare to say anything anymore. Suru shook her head and whispered: "Buyi, this is something he likes. Don't force him. Do you still remember Senior Brother Wan..."
Tian Buyi was suddenly shocked and turned to look at Suru. Suru sighed lightly and said to Du Bishu: "Bishu, you know that your master and I have never forced you to be like other lineages.
Brothers and sisters practice fairy swords as well, but magic weapons are often closely related, so you should be careful in what you do."
Du Bishu secretly glanced at Tian Buyi, only to see that his master looked unhappy and was sulking. How could he dare to say more? He nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, yes."
Suru glanced at her husband again, and then said to everyone: "Time flies so fast, next month will be the Seven Meridians Martial Arts Competition. Then we will go to Tongtian Peak where Nagato is, so you should prepare early.
!" At this point, her beautiful and gentle face suddenly became solemn, and she said quickly: "Don't let me and your master down again this time, do you understand?"
All the disciples' hearts skipped a beat and they all said in unison: "Yes!"
"Master, Master." Mixed in the loud replies from everyone, an uncoordinated and weak voice emerged. Suru looked over and saw that it was Zhang Xiaofan, the seventh and last one. She frowned and said, "What's the matter, Xiaofan?"
Fan?"
Zhang Xiaofan said cautiously: "Did you just mean that I would go too?"
Suru was startled, glanced at Tian Buyi, a smile appeared on her face, and said with a smile: "Yes! Aren't you also a disciple of the Dazhu Peak lineage?"
Zhang Xiaofan was overjoyed, jumped up in cheers, and high-fived Du Bishu next to him. He didn't care that Tian Buyi sarcastically said from a distance: "Anyway, there are nine places. Even if one is given to an idiot, it is still a waste. If you don't use it, it will be in vain."
At night, Zhang Xiaofan returned to the house and saw Da Huang and Xiao Hui running to his bed to rest.
A year and a half ago, Dahuang moved to Zhang Xiaofan's room to sleep because he was close to Xiaohui. At first, Tian Buyi was shocked because he couldn't find his beloved dog anywhere. Finally, he knew the whole story and snorted, "No."
Say anything and walk away.
Zhang Xiaofan saw that the master did not blame him, so he did not drive Dahuang out (actually, he could not be driven out. Dahuang occupied half of the bed and Xiaohui occupied half of the other half. You can know the mood of the owner of the house).
However, as time passed, Zhang Xiaofan probably got used to the crowding and got used to it, and Zhang Xiaofan no longer complained about Dahuang and Xiaohui sleeping with him.
That night, he was in a very good mood. He walked into the house and sat at the table. He glanced around and saw Dahuang lying lazily. Xiao Hui had gone to the kitchen again at some point and stole his black fire stick again.
He came up and rubbed against Rhubarb's body.
His heart moved, and he vaguely felt that Xiao Hui seemed to be very interested in this fire stick, but he was not in the mood to think about it so much now. His heart was completely filled with joy that his master unexpectedly allowed him to participate in the Seven Meridians Martial Arts Competition.
If Dahuang and Xiaohui looked at Zhang Xiaofan at this time, they would see a human with glowing eyes.
Zhang Xiaofan looked at the monkey and the dog, but he seemed to be talking to the air: "Look, I actually have the opportunity to participate in the Seven Meridians Martial Arts Competition. It's really great. Master, he is really tolerant. Even if I am stupid, I will still be there."
Take me to see you for a long time, uh, maybe you can meet Jingyu then."
At this point, he seemed to have remembered something, and whispered to himself: "But if we really go on stage to compete, I'm afraid it will embarrass Master! Forget it, just do what you have to do! Dahuang, Xiaohui,
Do you think so?"
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"
Zhang Xiaofan raised his eyes and saw that Xiao Hui was focused on Dahuang's fur. He carefully grabbed the lice and only barked a few times to deal with him. However, Dahuang was even more straightforward and even put his two dog ears down without even looking.
Take a look at him.
"Damn dog!" Zhang Xiaofan cursed angrily, and suddenly his vision went dark, but it was Xiao Hui who suddenly smashed the fire stick in his hand.
He was startled and quickly moved away. The fire stick hit the table, jumped twice and fell to the ground.
"Squeaks, Wangwang!" This time the voice of the big yellow dog and the little gray monkey became a symphony. Zhang Xiaofan made a ghost face at the two beasts, and sat down when he hated it.
Show Qi Hao's heroic appearance on Dazhu Peak two years ago.
"The ice has turned into a wall!" Zhang Xiaofan muttered in a low voice. He was fine when he was not practicing, but these days, as his practice deepened, he deeply experienced how difficult and unattainable it was to reach Qi Hao's state.
He thought again of Tian Linger's gentle but fiery eyes that night by the light in this room!
His heart felt like being pricked by a sharp needle at that moment.
The fire stick lying there quietly on the ground, with the sound of monkeys and yellow dogs playing next to him, Zhang Xiaofan suddenly felt that he was so similar to the fire stick. Even when the fire stick fell on the ground, in his eyes, it seemed like
It also brought a bit of loneliness.
"Alas!" He sighed, trying to imagine the situation when he could reach that state, and then in a completely relaxed and unconcerned posture, for the first time in his life, he did what the disciples of the Qingyun Sect had done countless times.
The action of "driving away objects" - waving to the fire stick on the ground.
That moment seemed like forever.
Zhang Xiaofan was very normal, not even a little bit sad, and was ready to accept his failure as a matter of course. Then, he saw the fire stick in the ground move.
Just so gently, slightly, like waking up from a long sleep, it moved! This chapter was published by online book friends www.
