The best water fairy of crossing

Chapter 5

When I opened my eyes, it had been dark for a long time.I touched the drool hanging from the corner of my mouth, looked up at the moon, it was already midnight.It seems that I was so tired that I fell asleep unconsciously while waiting.

I stood up and patted the dirt on my body.At this time, the old man and the others should all be asleep. This is a good opportunity for me to show my talents.Taking advantage of the moonlight, I went back lightly.The old man Xiaoyaozi lived in the Tai Chi Hall behind Xuanpu Hall. When I went back, except for the lights in Xuanpu Hall were still on, there was silence all around.

The layout and structure of Kunlun Mountain is somewhat complicated. According to Xuanyao, it was built according to the Fuxi Bagua array.I'm new here, and I don't understand these ghost theories, so I got lost while walking.There is a large pine forest in front of the Taiji Hall, which looks eerie and scary in the moonlight. I turned around in the forest, and I clearly saw it close in front of me, but I couldn't walk through it anyway.

Oh, can I recite a little more?What ghost gossip formation?This old man is simply trying to make things difficult for me!I was secretly worrying, when I looked up, I suddenly saw a big bird parked on a tree in front of me.Its whole body is pure white, and it looks ethereal under the moonlight.

It's so hard for me to talk to a bird.I actually went up to the bird and said, "Brother Bird, are you lost at this late hour? Me too. I'm here to find my jade pillow."

In fact, I also said something to strengthen my courage. Do you think a girl can not be afraid in a dark forest in the middle of the night?Unexpectedly, the bird seemed to be human, and it flew to my side.I walked over and tried to touch it, but it didn't resist.

"What's your name? You are so beautiful!" I said, touching its crystal clear feathers.

The bird shook its neck and called me a few times, as if responding to my praise.As soon as I was happy in my heart, I simply chatted with it.

I told it my life experience and how I came to Kunlun.It listened quietly and called a few times in response.Finally I sighed and said, "If only you could take me out!"

This was just an unintentional remark, but it flapped its wings and flew towards Tai Chi Hall.I froze for a moment, could it go to the Tai Chi Hall?Yes, since it can be here, it must know the way.I hurriedly followed behind it, and within a short meal, I actually stood at the gate of the Tai Chi Hall.At this time, there was a faint light in the Tai Chi Hall. Could it be that the old man Xiaoyao is still there?The big bird stopped on the railing of the garden, flapping its wings excitedly at me.I was afraid that the old man would find out, so I made a silent gesture to it, and it actually quieted down.

I ducked down and sneaked under the window, wanting to see what the old man was doing?I poked through the window paper and saw the old man lying on the couch with his back on his back. There was no movement, he must have fallen asleep.This old man, sleeping and lighting a lamp, is so timid!I pouted contemptuously.

I quietly opened the door, slipped in, and started looking for my jade pillow.There was only one candle burning in the room, and it was so dark that you couldn't see anything clearly unless you got close.Afraid that the old man would find out, I tried my best to keep my waist down.I saw a shelf for things on the east end of the old man's couch, and I moved over it lightly.But the result was very disappointing. There was nothing on it except books and a few patent leather boxes.

Where could the old man put his pillow?Shouldn't I be sleeping by myself!I tiptoed back to the old man's bed.When I lowered my head, the old man was really resting on my jade pillow.

Okay, old man, you stole my jade pillow for your own enjoyment, hum!I glanced at him angrily, he was sleeping soundly!That snoring is really thrilling!I squatted on the side of the couch trying to pull the pillow over.But wouldn't the old man wake up now?He is so powerful in martial arts, if he uses his hands, I can't ask for anything.

How to do it?I looked around for something to replace it.At this time, I suddenly remembered the patent leather box.I went back, took the patent leather box, and was about to go back.Who knows, because the light was too dark, I tripped over something, the box fell to the ground with a bang, and I fell and ate shit myself.

It's over!It's over!I can't even imagine what's going to happen next.The old man snorted and sat up sleepily.Seeing me crawling on the ground, he smiled and said, "Ruoshui, it's not yet dawn, so you came to pay my respects to my teacher?"

There was a sneer in the old man's tone.I know that he must have known that I was back, maybe he deliberately arranged that big bird.

I hurriedly got up, and said with a smile: "Master, I haven't seen you for a day, and I miss you very much, so I came to see you! Haha..." I laughed awkwardly, thinking that you can find more excuses than this idiot ?
The old man stroked his beard and looked at me with a meaningful smile.Although he had a gentle expression, I still felt a little creepy because I had a ghost in my heart.Unexpectedly, he didn't say this at all, but said another thing!

The old man asked me: "On the first day of study, what did your senior brother teach?"

What was taught?It's good that he didn't let me do the laundry and cook.I frowned and said, "It's nothing, the brother asked me to cut down the tree as soon as he came up, and there are a few more cocoons."

Hearing that my tone was full of complaints, the old man laughed and said, "Girl, you think it's so easy to practice immortal arts! Xuanchi did this for your own good!"

Do you want me to chop wood for my own good?What a good excuse!I said angrily: "Then why don't the other disciples use it, but let me go? I think Brother Xuanchi doesn't like me at all, and deliberately made things difficult for me!"

The old man gave me a meaningful look, patted the jade pillow and said, "Okay, girl, go back quickly! Remember to go back and study hard, if you still want it!"

This is simply coercion and temptation!I looked at the jade pillow reluctantly, and went back without saying anything.

When I left the Tai Chi Hall, the big bird was no longer there.Fortunately, I remembered the way, I sighed, and went back to the room listlessly.After going back, the lights in the room were still on, Xuan Yao sat at the table and dozed off, and I woke her up when I went back.

"You're back! Are you okay?" She asked worriedly.

I shook my head: "It's okay, you haven't slept yet!"

"You didn't come back, I can't sleep!" She said, "Don't blame the elder brother, although he usually looks cold and aloof, unsmiling, but he is very good to us brothers and sisters! He is strict with us, In fact, it’s also for our own good. You think we’re all here to achieve something in cultivation, if everything is left to our own will, then we don’t think we’ll be successful after 100 years of cultivation.”

I glanced at her gratefully, sighed, and said nothing more.Stealing the jade pillow failed this time, and it seems that I have to stay here for a while.However, Xuanchi and I fell out, and I don't know how he will make things difficult for me in the future.

The next day, I arrived at Langfeng Peak with a feeling of apprehension.Xuan Chi, Xuan Yu and Xuan Qing were already there, I thought that Xuan Chi might reprimand me severely, or simply punish me.Unexpectedly, he didn't even look at me, his expression was normal, and he didn't seem to hold grudges. He just sent his disciples to practice kung fu step by step.

What is this man up to?I looked at him suspiciously.Alas, playing with such a person is really fatal, I thought with a sigh.I was lost in thought when suddenly I felt someone push me.I turned my head and saw that it was Xuan Yao.I whispered, "What's the matter?"

She pursed her lips and said, "Senior Brother Xuanchi called you! What are you still doing?"

I was taken aback when I heard this, thinking that I was going to start revenge now.I only heard Xuanchi say: "Ruoshui! Come here!"

I walked over obediently, feeling a little flustered. "Brother!" I saluted respectfully.

"You still go to chop trees today, this is an ax!" He handed me an ax and ignored me.He gave a few words to the disciples, then turned and left.

I stared at him blankly, feeling that this person is really persistent and strange, I was so rude to him yesterday, yet he still treats me as usual, it's really strange!He didn't think too much about it at the moment, and continued to cut trees from the back mountain with the ax on his back.Alas, if it weren't for my jade pillow, who would want to do this job for a living!
In this way, it took me a month to cut down this tree.In the past month, the calluses on my hands have worn down several layers.There is no end to cheating apprentices!

Elder brother Xuanchi cherishes words like gold as usual, every time he comes to see my results, he is not even willing to say a single unnecessary word.I still remember what happened when I felled the first tree.

That was the fifth day when I first came to Kunlun. During those five days, I cut trees all day long.Finally, at sunset on the fifth day, with a clicking sound, I finally saw a giant pine.I danced happily. It seems that I will not be a policeman after I go back, but I can still cut down trees to make a living!I thought with a smile.

At this time, Xuan Chi suddenly appeared from nowhere.He stood quietly behind me, and said abruptly, "Let's stop here today, and continue tomorrow!"

I looked back at him in surprise, his expression was cold and there was no smile on his face.At that time, I was immersed in the joy of success, and I didn't care about his indifference. I smiled and pointed to the trunk of the tree underground and said, "Look, Brother Xuanchi, I finally cut down a tree!"

He snorted and said indifferently: "That's enough? Other brothers can cut five roots a day, but you only cut one in five days, which shows how careless you are. Continue tomorrow!" After finishing speaking, he turned and left.

I was gnashing my teeth with hatred.Can I, a girl, compare with those old men?Besides, I already gave him face by cutting down trees obediently, but in the end it was my fault.Weird guy, heartless guy, hum!

When I went back, I told Xuan Yao about it.Xuan Yao supported the table and laughed for a long time, said: "Brother Xuanchi is really amazing, no matter how surly you are, he will accept you as docile!"

I glared at her and said, "You're the only one who gloats!" I thought, if it wasn't for my jade pillow, I wouldn't be spared this crime.However, the last time I went to the old man Xiaoyao to steal things, he found out, if I go again, I'm afraid I'm going to throw myself into a trap, I have to think of a good way.

In a blink of an eye, a month passed, and I saw 21 pine trees in a row, but Xuanchi still didn't want me to stop. Could it be that he wanted to make things difficult for me again.I thought about it left and right, but I was still puzzled.

One day, I was sitting under a tree to rest, when I heard footsteps suddenly, I turned my head and saw that it was the Fifth Senior Brother Xuan Qing.Alas, I've been here for a long time, and I naturally know a little about the people here.This fifth senior brother Xuanqing was a big boy before he went to the mountain to practice Taoism, but he was not airy, he was kind to others, and his temperament was humorous, so he was very popular among the senior brothers.However, his master is the old man Zhenyuan who is a man of the scriptures. With the naughty and playful personality of the fifth senior brother, he must have made trouble for the old man Zhenyuan. Thinking of this, I couldn't help laughing.

Seeing Xuan Qing holding a bunch of crickets in his hand, he came up with a smile and asked: "Junior Sister, what's so funny, I'd be happy to tell it!"

I rolled his eyes at him and said, "What is Fifth Senior Brother doing here? Could it be that he is here to supervise me for Senior Brother Xuanchi again?" Although he spoke harshly, he couldn't help smiling. interesting?

He smiled and blinked at me, didn't care at all, sat beside me and shook the cricket on his hand and said, "Look, how kind I am to you! This is because I squatted in the back mountain all night yesterday. Got it."

I snatched it away with a smile and said, "Then I will accept it reluctantly! What are you doing here? Could it be that you are really here to supervise me?"

He scratched his head and said, "Brother asked me to come, not to supervise you! He told you to come to the front of the Shuizawa Hall, saying that he had something to say!"

When I heard this, my heart turned cold, and this Xuanchi didn't know what to do. I have seen his ability to train disciples this month.

Seeing that I didn't speak for a long time, Xuan Qing guessed my thoughts, pushed me and said with a smile: "Are you afraid of senior brother? Are you afraid of seeing him?"

When I gave him this shock, I felt a little annoyed and said loudly, "Whoever is afraid, just go! He can still eat me?"

Seeing the awe-inspiring righteousness of what I said, he didn't answer, stood up and smiled secretly, and said let's go, and I went to Shuize Palace with him.

Shuize Hall is on the sixth floor of Kunlun Mountain, and it is usually the place where all the disciples receive court training.When we got there, twenty or thirty new disciples had already gathered in the square.Seeing that they all looked serious, I immediately felt baffled, but I didn't dare to delay, I obediently found a corner and stood, I don't want Xuan Chi to see, isn't that clearly courting death?Am I that stupid?
After a while, Xuan Chi brought Xuan Yu, Xuan Qing and others to the main hall.He glanced at His Highness's disciples indifferently, and said: "You have been getting started for a few months. Today, all the senior brothers and I will try your martial arts in the past few months. The result of this competition will directly determine who you invest in." under the door." After speaking, he glanced at Xuan Yu beside him.

Xuan Yu continued: "This trial is divided into two competitions, the martial competition and the literary competition. The so-called military competition is to test your sword skills, and the literary competition is to test your understanding of my Taoist classics. Alright, let's start Bar!"

The disciples were naturally divided into two teams, and Xuan Chi ordered each of them to be given a wooden sword so as not to hurt each other during the martial arts competition.

I can't figure it out with this ridiculously crafted wooden sword.Those disciples seldom said that they have been in the school for three or four months, and they practice swordsmanship and spells every day. Isn't it a joke for me to compare them with a tree feller?Alas, it is really ruinous!Terrible!

However, although I am aggrieved, there is nothing I can do. Who told me that I have no ability to lose the jade pillow?At the moment, he can only wait patiently for embarrassment.

To say that this Kunlun is really amazing, even the disciples who have just started for a few months are very proficient in swordsmanship.I just felt that when they were competing, they flashed back and forth in front of my eyes at such a fast speed that I couldn't see their moves clearly.Alas, as expected, the gap between good students and poor students is here!

I was meditating, and suddenly I heard the cricket's cry, squeak.I didn't realize it at first, but when I saw all the disciples looking at me like I was approaching, I realized what happened. I came in a hurry and forgot to put these little things back.

"Ruoshui! What's going on here? Come here!" Brother Xuanyu looked at me seriously.

I walked over embarrassingly, and glanced at the fifth senior brother Xuan Qing who was gloating beside me, knowing that I had been pranked by him.I'm still wondering, why did he think of sending me crickets, so he was waiting for me here!Hmph, I'm as stupid as a pig.

"What's going on here? What are you carrying?" Xuan Yu asked.

"This... this..." I was at a loss for words for a while, but I was compared to this, so I had to lie and say: "Disciple, I caught a few crickets just for fun. Forgot to put it down. So, so just..." He said and took out the bunch of small things.

Xuan Yu glanced at it, snorted and said: "Nian you are new here and don't know the rules, so don't bring any messy things here from now on! Go down!"

I reluctantly responded, gave Xuan Qing a hard look, and was about to back down.Who knew that Xuanchi actually stopped me.

I was taken aback for a moment, could it be that he wanted to trouble me just because of a few bugs?As I was thinking this way, I suddenly felt a sound of wind blowing in my ears, and when I raised my head again, I saw Xuanchi stabbing at me with a wooden sword in his hand.

I was startled, oh my god, there is no need to kill people for a few bugs.I saw that he was coming very quickly, and knew that I couldn't dodge it at all, so I had to raise my sword to block, only to hear a bang, his sword had already pierced my hilt.Immediately, I felt a strong push, and I couldn't help taking a few steps back.However, what is surprising is that I only took a few steps back and stopped firmly, without actually throwing it out.It's really weird!
However, I can't let me think too much at this moment, he retracted his sword and stabbed again.This time he changed to stab me at the bottom, and I jumped several zhang.However, I don't have much kung fu after all, and I don't know what happened these few times. After flying out, I only felt that my body was light and light, and I was about to hit the stone pillar behind.At this time, a white figure flew towards me swiftly and unusually, and held my shoulders. When I came back to my senses, I was already standing firmly on the ground.

Oh my god, I touched my forehead and it was covered in sweat.If Xuanchi hadn't stopped me just in time, I'm afraid I'd have bumped into a pillar and been seriously injured.I turned around and saw Xuanchi standing aside as if nothing had happened, as if nothing had happened just now.

This guy is crazy, he wanted to kill me first, then save me later, he has dual personality!I'm not that easy to talk, so I stepped forward and questioned: "Senior Brother Xuanchi, I don't know why Ruoshui offended you and made you so angry. Ruoshui knows that he has no martial arts skills, but he is definitely not a coward!"

He looked at me calmly, said a word lightly, and almost didn't piss me off!He said: "It seems that you still haven't made any progress in this month, and you have to practice more in the future! Otherwise, it will not be as simple as a fall in the future!"

What?This guy is really arrogant and self righteous!As I said that, I was going to step forward and have a good fight with him.However, Xuanqing stopped me, and said to me with a smile: "It seems that the trees were not cut in vain this month, and the strength of the hands and feet has improved a lot! After two layers of strength, why don't you obediently thank him for his advice!"

He winked at me as he spoke.Only then did I realize that Xuan Chi was trying my martial arts just now, but I don't know any martial arts at all!In addition to learning a few tricks before, it must be such an ancient swordsmanship!I looked down at the wooden sword in my hand.Ah yes!Xuan Qing said that my limb strength has improved, otherwise I would not be able to stop Xuan Chi's sword at all, it seems that this tree cutting is really useful.

I bowed with a smile and said, "Thank you, brother, for your guidance!"

Xuan Chi didn't respond, but said lightly: "Tomorrow, you don't have to cut down trees! Just practice with all the new disciples!" After speaking, he turned his head and told Senior Brother Xuan Yu to take the "South China Sutra" to prepare for the essay comparison.

There is nothing wrong with Wenbi, except that reciting scriptures is interpretation, and there are no new tricks.Because I have been a woodcutter for a month, I don't need to compare, even if I reluctantly participate.So, just stand by and watch the fun.It's really funny to see them endorsing books like elementary school students!

At this time, the fifth senior brother Xuan Qing came over and said with a smile: "Junior sister, how come crickets are fun?"

Just now, I haven't settled with him yet!He came to the door automatically, I snorted and ignored him.When I'm fun?

Seeing that I ignored him, Xuan Qing knew that I was really angry, and he kept talking nicely to me, but I made up my mind to ignore him. Who told him to play pranks and embarrass me?
He is a child at heart, seeing that I ignored him, he simply started acting coquettishly and said: "Junior Sister, I won't be playful and make fun of you anymore, please forgive me, okay! Okay!" He even made a funny face to tease me happy.

I was very angry at first, but then I thought about it, didn't he help me just now?He simply bared his teeth at him, pretended to be angry and said, "You can ask me to forgive you, but you have to agree to do something for me, so that I can be happy!"

He clapped his hands and said, "What's the matter? Just say it, don't say one thing, even ten things are fine!"

"Okay, high five!" I said, extending my palm.

He patted my hand lightly and asked me what I was doing!But I didn't think of it then.After a while, he said: "You will know in the future!" I thought to myself, I have to think of a more difficult one, just tease him!

Fifth senior brother Xuan Qing said that the purpose of this competition was to find out the bottom line of all the new disciples, and then award immortal arts to each of the new disciples according to their aptitude and preferences.For example, some people are born with outstanding alertness and like the number of the five elements. In addition to practicing certain swordsmanship, this person specializes in teaching the five elements and eight trigrams.Others are naturally fond of martial arts, so they teach him swordsmanship according to the situation.

"This is really teaching students according to their aptitude! The old man on Kunlun Mountain really saves me trouble!" After listening to the fifth senior brother, I whispered.

"What did you say?" Xuan Qing asked curiously.

I hurriedly made a haha, and passed by.

After the competition, it was getting late, and we went back to rest.However, hearing Xuan Chi say that I don't have to cut down trees tomorrow, it's nothing better than that.
