Ning Zhiyang led Qin Xiao across the huge square and came to a hilltop. What came into view was a large area of vigorous green bamboo. On the path between the bamboo forests, the two of them landed on the ground. Ning Zhiyang felt very proud along the way.
, when I thought of Fang He's old, dark face, I couldn't help but burst into laughter. Looking at that arrogant look, there was no trace of elegance at all.
There is an exquisite courtyard at the end of the bamboo forest. Although it does not look as grand as the Qianyuan Hall, it is still simple and elegant. Between the dark green bamboo sea and the clouds and mist, it feels like a fairyland on earth and as peaceful as a paradise.
An outstanding young man in white clothes stood in the open space in front of the courtyard. When he saw Ning Zhiyang, he came over and bowed, "Dad! The child is back."
Ning Zhiyang smiled and said: "It's good to come back. If you don't come back, the trip down the mountain will go smoothly."
"It's okay!" The young man in white said softly, his tone calm. He is Ning Zhiyang's eldest son, Ning Bugui, and the chief disciple of Zhuhai.
"Have you met your mother?"
"My mother went to Baicaotang to refine elixirs and she hasn't returned yet!"
Qin Xiao looked familiar to the young man in white, and after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help blurting out: "It's you!"
Ning Zhiyang glanced at the newly-accepted disciple in confusion and said to Ning Bugui: "This is the disciple that my father just accepted. Do you know him?"
"I saw it in Tianfeng City!"
Qin Xiao bowed deeply to Ning Bugui, "I didn't expect that senior brother would still remember me! I was able to join the Chaoyang Sect this time, all thanks to senior brother's dealing with it. Senior brother's great kindness and virtue will be remembered in my heart. Thank you very much."
"It's a simple task, junior fellow apprentice, there is no need to be polite."
"What's going on?" Since he had accepted Qin Xiao as his disciple, Ning Zhiyang felt that something was wrong and naturally wanted to ask clearly.
Qin Xiao immediately told what happened in Tianfeng City. Ning Zhiyang frowned after hearing this: "This Yan Xing is so snobbish in his behavior and really needs discipline. I will go talk to Junior Brother Zhang some other time."
Ning Zhiyang pointed at Ning Bugui: "This is your senior brother Ning Bugui."
Qin Xiao saluted Ning Bugui again, and Ning Bugui nodded slightly. He did not expect that the young man he met at the foot of the mountain would become his junior brother.
Suddenly there was a loud roar from the forest path, and then, a young man with a kitchen knife on his waist jumped out from the bamboo forest, with white light flashing on his body, and carrying a black bear several times bigger than him on his shoulders, like a whirlwind
He flew past several people, shouting: "I must make the 128th way to make bear paws today!"
Qin Xiao stared dumbfounded as the figure flashed past him. It took him a long time to find his voice, "Master, is this?"
"That's your fourth senior brother Yun Feiyang."
The courtyard is also full of green bamboos, and some flowers are in full bloom among the green bamboos. There is a large pond in the middle with crystal clear water and several fish playing in the water. In the pavilion beside the pond,
A man was sitting on a stone bench eating and drinking, and the table was filled with various snacks.
When Qin Xiaogang saw it, he thought it was the pet raised by his master. When he looked carefully, his newly recovered eyes fell down again. This was actually a human being. How much did he eat to make himself look like this? No,
How much food does he need to eat to make himself so fat? This is not a human being at all. From a distance, it looks like a round ball.
"Ziqing!" Ning Zhiyang shouted.
"Master!" Wei Ziqing, who was eating, immediately stood up when he heard the voice and ran towards Ning Zhiyang. He was not tall, and his body was so round that he couldn't even find his waist.
It swayed three times, like a ball, with both eyes narrowed into a slit, and the half of the arm with sleeves exposed was fleshy, thick and strong. Qin Xiao's visual inspection showed that the arm was definitely thicker than his own thighs.
He stuffed food into his mouth as he ran, and when he ran over, he just choked on the last bite of food, "Senior Brother, you are back."
His voice was naive, his greasy hands casually touched his clothes a few times, and he looked at Qin Xiao curiously.
Ning Zhiyang smiled and said: "Go and call everyone to the main hall to announce something for the teacher."
"Yes, master!"
In the main hall, Qin Xiao stood quietly next to Ning Bugui. Ning Zhiyang sat on the chair at the top of the main hall and asked Ning Bugui: "Recently, there have been wild rumors in the cultivation world that two peerless powerful men have appeared near Tianfeng City.
, the cultivation level reaches the sky, shocking all the heroes in the world. The sky and the earth shook when the two people fought, and the mountains shook. Some disciples of the sect put down their words and said that these two people are the legendary strong men in the Shenxuan realm, and they are not yours to investigate.
How is the result?"
"I have never seen the powerful Shenxuan boy, so I dare not make any assumptions. However, thousands of miles away from Tianfeng City, the mountains for hundreds of miles have turned into desert, and some peaks have even been razed to the ground. Those two orders
A heart-stopping momentum came from the void, and no one who went to investigate dared to get close." Ning Bugui recalled what he saw at that time, with a look of shock in his eyes.
"When it moves, the sky and the earth will lose color, and the rivers will flow backwards. Such an aura must be that of a powerful Shenxuan. The world of cultivation has not seen a powerful Shenxuan for tens of thousands of years. Now, when they appear, there are two of them. I just hope it will not cause turmoil in the world of Cultivation.
"
"I think it should be okay. The two peerless warriors fought all the way to the territory of Yan State. Wherever they passed, rocks penetrated the sky and rivers flowed backwards. After that, one aura disappeared in the Black Mountain, and another aura lingered near the Black Mountain and disappeared after a few days.
Missing, disciples from various sects have been wandering around Heishan for several days, but they have not appeared again."
"Well, don't worry about them. Such powerful people are not something we can think about."
Several people came one after another outside the door, and then a beautiful woman who looked dignified and quiet walked into the hall. Several young people came forward to salute. This beautiful woman was Ning Zhiyang's wife Sun Ruolan, like all the people in the world.
Just like a mother, when she sees her son returning from an outing, she can't help asking questions and nagging her. Until Ning Zhiyang felt verbose and interrupted, the beautiful woman sat down on the chair next to Ning Zhiyang with a smile and said, "I haven't approached the bamboo yet."
Hai, I hear your laughter."
"Hahahaha, Ruolan, you don't know, Fang He was so angry at me in the Qianyuan Hall that he almost vomited blood." Ning Zhiyang laughed a few times.
"The fifth elder and the second elder fought in front of the Qianyuan Hall, which made the leader furious. This matter has been reported to Baicao Hall. You don't even look at where the Qianyuan Hall is, so you are not afraid of starting a fight with the second elder like this.
Disciples are joking." Sun Ruolan rolled her eyes at Ning Zhiyang.
"What a joke, Fang He snatched my disciple, what's wrong with me snatching it back?" Ning Zhiyang laughed again, then coughed lightly, turned around and said seriously: "Let's get started, good disciple,
Why don't you come over and become a disciple?"
Qin Xiao walked to the middle of the hall, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Ning Zhiyang three times, "Disciple Qin Xiao pays homage to the master!"
"I never thought that I, Ning Zhiyang, would be able to receive a genius with the body of a heavenly spirit in my lifetime. Get up!"
"Thank you Master!"
Ning Zhiyang then said to several other disciples: "Qin Xiao will be your junior brother from now on. You seven junior brothers must support and support each other in the future, and you must not lose my reputation as Ning Zhiyang."
"I will obey my master's teachings!" all the disciples said in unison.
Ning Zhiyang looked at several disciples with satisfaction, stood up and said: "No, that guy Fang He used to be angry with me. I finally got a chance. It's not worth just being angry with him for a long time. I have to go to Luoxia Peak. I will definitely
He was so angry that he couldn't eat for three months."
As soon as he finished speaking, the person had disappeared from the spot, leaving only one sentence, "No return, as the senior brother, you must set an example and take your junior brother to get acquainted with him in Zhuhai."
"The turbulent message asked me to come back quickly, causing me to ruin a batch of elixirs. How long ago, and left us alone." Sun Ruolan shook her head and said softly to Ning Bugui: "Bugui,
I'll leave the rest to you, I still have to go to Baicao Hall."
"Congratulations to my mother!"
"Go away, Master!"
As soon as Ning Zhiyang and Sun Ruolan left, Ning Bugui just glanced at his junior brothers calmly, and the long sword behind him unsheathed with a "choking" sound, and he flew to the distant sky. As he left,
Qin Xiao was stunned instead: "Elder brother just left like that?"
"It would be strange if Senior Brother didn't leave. Today is a full moon night, so he must have gone to Tiandu Peak to compete with Senior Brother Fu."
Qin Xiao turned around and saw the young man with a kitchen knife at his waist whom he had seen before. He remembered that his master said he was the fourth senior brother, and he saluted respectfully: "Fourth senior brother!"
Yun Feiyang raised his eyebrows: "Why don't I remember that I am so famous? Junior brother, you just went up the mountain and you already know me."
Qin Xiao pointed to the knife on Yun Feiyang's waist and answered truthfully: "I remember that kitchen knife on your waist."
Yun Feiyang suddenly showed a dumbfounded expression, and the young man standing on the far left smiled heartily, "Fourth Senior Brother, why don't you go down the mountain for a walk, I'm sure you will be more famous than Senior Brother in half a year."
"I'm not interested!"
This young man seems to be the oldest among them all. He has a shaggy beard and messy hair that has not been taken care of much, giving him a slovenly look. He is also wearing a dark black gown and black legs.
His eyes were as deep as night, making his whole person look a little melancholy and desolate.
He leaned on Qin Xiao's shoulder, and a strong smell of alcohol hit his nostrils. Qin Xiao almost suffocated. He shook the big wine gourd around his waist and said to Qin Xiao: "Junior brother, I am your fifth senior brother Ji Tong."
, if you can’t remember what it looks like, just remember this wine gourd.”
After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Qin Xiao's reaction. He raised his head and drank a few sips of wine, turned around and walked out of the room, muttering a few sour poems in his mouth, "Everyone laughs at me for being crazy, but I laugh at others because they can't see through..."
Yun Feiyang pointed at Wei Ziqing, who started eating again after Ning Zhiyang left, and said, "This is your third senior brother Wei Ziqing."
"Hello, third senior brother!"
"Junior brother, we will be a family from now on." Wei Ziqing handed the chicken drumstick he had just taken a bite to Qin Xiao: "Here are the drumsticks for you. The food made by the fourth junior brother is delicious."
"No need!" Qin Xiao waved his hand quickly.
"That's good, I just haven't eaten enough yet."
Qin Xiao really didn't know what to say to Wei Ziqing's straightforwardness.
"Little... junior brother, my name is Ning Bufan, and I am your sixth senior brother. Lying on my shoulder is your second senior brother Ling Haotian!" Ning Bufan spoke with difficulty. His eyebrows were somewhat similar to Ning Zhiyang's, and he was about the same age.
Qin Xiaoxiang is Ning Zhiyang's youngest son. His little face is red at the moment, and he has been carrying Ling Haotian for such a long time. Ning Bufan, who was originally thin, can't even stand still, but he is too selfish.
Not only was he not angry, he was also carefully supporting Ling Haotian with both hands, fearing that Ling Haotian would fall to the ground accidentally.
Looking at Ling Haotian who could fall asleep even while standing, Yun Feiyang couldn't help but admire him. He was able to fall asleep like this. It was really impressive. He raised his hand and threw Ling Haotian unceremoniously onto the chair.
Qin Xiao was a little curious when he came in from Ling Haotian, because Ling Haotian was half-dragged and half-carried in by Ning Bufan with his eyes closed. His clothes were in a mess, and his black and curly hair was piled on his head like a bird's nest.
, obviously someone just dragged him out of bed.
If you look closely, you will see that Ling Haotian has beautiful features, soft and handsome features, and is well-proportioned like a perfect picture. One stroke more makes him fatter, and one stroke less makes him thinner. Because he was thrown by Yun Feiyang on the chair, his eyes were slightly open, and the corners of his mouth were slightly opened.
It was slightly raised, forming two small dimples on her cheeks. It was hard to tell whether they were male or female. If it weren't for the Adam's apple on her throat, people would have thought she was a woman. Qin Xiao couldn't help but exclaimed: "So beautiful!"
As soon as these words came out, Ling Haotian, who was still sleepy, immediately opened his eyes. A cold light flashed in his dark eyes, and he looked at Qin Xiao coldly. He was like an unsheathed sword, arrogant, unruly, and unruly.
No one would associate him with a weak woman. Such a strong contrast actually appeared in the same person. The temperature in the air dropped suddenly, and Qin Xiao couldn't help but shudder.
"Second Senior Brother, please calm down. Junior Brother just went up the mountain and doesn't know anything!"
Yun Feiyang rushed over and held Ling Haotian down. Ning Bufan ran to Qin Xiao's side in three steps and blocked his sight: "Second senior brother, this is my first time to see you. I don't know your taboos.
Don't be angry, the weather is just right for sleeping, I'll take you back to your room."
Seeing Ning Bufan struggling to carry Ling Haotian, who was leaning half of his body on him, Qin Xiao had an extremely innocent expression on his face: "Fourth Senior Brother, did I say something wrong?"
"You are telling the truth, but in the future, you must remember not to mention the word beautiful in front of Second Senior Brother, otherwise no one can save you."
Hearing Yun Feiyang's very solemn tone, Qin Xiao secretly remembered his words, but he always felt strange in his heart. These brothers and sisters were very different from what he imagined.
At this moment, everyone in the hall except Qin Xiao and Yun Feiyang left. Yun Feiyang looked at the empty hall and complained: "Master also asked us to exchange feelings, but in the end, we all ran faster than rabbits. Junior brother, I
I’d better take you to where you live and have a look.”
There is a cobblestone path among the bamboo forest, winding and circling until you reach the end of the path. As soon as you step out of the round arch, your eyes suddenly open up. Pavilions, pavilions, rockeries and strange rocks are hidden among the green pines and bamboos. A strip of red paint is
A corridor composed of pillars connected these pavilions end to end. When he walked to the nearest courtyard, he saw a sign hanging on the door with the two characters "Spring Garden" written on it. Qin Xiao walked to the back.
At the entrance of the courtyard, there was also a sign hanging there with the word "Xia Yuan" written on it. Qin Xiao looked at the two courtyards in the back again: "There are four courtyards in total. The front is Spring Garden and Summer Garden, and the two behind should be
Autumn Garden and East Garden.”
"Yes, there are exactly four courtyards here, and each small courtyard has its own characteristics. In the spring garden, hundreds of flowers bloom in spring, in the summer garden, lotus flowers bloom in summer, in the autumn garden, chrysanthemums bloom in autumn, and in the winter garden, plum blossoms bloom in the snow.
We have few disciples in this lineage, and you only have seven, so there are a lot of empty houses. You can choose which courtyard you want to live in, and you can change it every season. I can help you clean up your miserable fourth senior brother."
Yun Feiyang is a very approachable person. When he talks, he can always close the distance between the two of them, which makes Qin Xiao's tense heart slowly relax. He has no requirements for where to live, so he just happened to be standing at the door of Xia Garden.
, casually said: "Let Fourth Senior Brother worry about it, I will live in Xia Yuan."
"That's good. Sixth Junior Brother lives in Xia Yuan. You are similar in age, so you should have something in common." Yun Feiyang took Qin Xiao into Xia Yuan and opened the door of a room. The room was very clean and there was nothing to see.
It turned out to be an unoccupied room. "It just so happened that the fifth junior brother moved to Spring Garden two days ago. You can live in this room where the fifth junior brother lived before. It is often occupied and is relatively clean. It is not troublesome to clean."
"Fifth senior brother likes to change rooms very much? What if he wants to change back next time, but finds that I have taken over it?" Qin Xiao was a little worried when he first arrived, for fear of offending several senior brothers.
When Qin Xiao said this, Yun Feiyang couldn't help but burst out laughing. He stopped after a while and said, "Don't worry, I guess as long as the second senior brother doesn't change rooms, the fifth junior brother will not want to live in Xia Yuan in the future."
Come here."
"Why?"
"Your fifth senior brother is an out-and-out drunkard, and his wine quality is extremely poor. When drunk, he likes to go crazy anytime, anywhere, dancing and making noises. Once, after he woke up his second senior brother by crying and howling in the yard, he was severely beaten by the second senior brother.
The floor was repaired, and the next day we moved into Spring Garden in despair."
"Does the second senior brother have a bad temper?" Qin Xiao asked more, remembering Ling Haotian's cold eyes when he just met him.
Yun Feiyang patted Qin Xiao on the shoulder and said solemnly: "Second Senior Brother hates two things most in his life. One is that he hates being praised by others for his beauty, and the other is that he hates being woken up by others while sleeping. You must never chew tiger beards, Second Senior Brother
When you're angry, you're scarier than your senior brother. If you offend your senior brother, you'll get a beating at most. But if you offend your second senior brother, I guarantee you'll regret it. That guy will kill you when you're not paying attention."
Qin Xiao had the urge to change rooms, but was too embarrassed to say it. Yun Feiyang knew he was scared when he saw the hesitant look on his face.
"Sixth Junior Brother lives next door to you. He has a simple and honest temper. If you have anything you don't understand, you can go to him. Second Senior Brother lives in the westmost room on the second floor. It's far away from here. You don't have to worry. Second Senior Brother at this time
They are usually sleeping, and Junior Brother Six is practicing his sword in the bamboo forest behind, so don't pay attention to them."
The two began to clean up the room. Since there were always people living in it, there was nothing to clean. They just put on clean bedding. Yun Feiyang was very enthusiastic and told Qin Xiao some things that needed attention in the sect. At night, Qin Xiao lay in bed
Under the soft quilt, staring at the roof, I didn't fall asleep for a long time.
