Farewell to Qin Ziling, Zhou Shaobai was depressed and rode back to Yuping Peak with the whisk of Taoist Chengyu.

After handing the whisk back to the master, Zhou Shaobai was hungry in his belly, so he went for a meal with the senior brothers. With the lessons of the elder brother, the Taoists' attitude towards Zhou Shaobai was obviously much better, but they were polite but were defensive and indifferent.

However, Zhou Shaobai didn't care at all. His mind was full of Qin Ziling's beautiful figure.

No wonder Qin Ziling always wanted to speak but stopped next to the lotus pond, but it turned out that there was such a sad story. Zhou Shaobai remembered the bullying he had received on weekdays, and even felt a little fond of Qin Ziling, who had similar circumstances.

Thinking of tomorrow, Qin Ziling would leave here and go to the distance, Zhou Shaobai's heart was as heavy as a stone lion in front of the hall. He wished that the next moment was two years later, he would be able to fly far away and go to Shuichuan to find Qin Ziling.

While he was thinking about it, a Taoist came over and said, "Junior brother, this is the porridge for senior brother. I'd like to ask you to go and send it to him."

Zhou Shaobai looked at the food box in front of him, which contained a bowl of porridge, two steamed buns, and a small plate of pickles. It turned out that in Xiyunguan, the disciple was punished for making a mistake and was only allowed to eat one meal at night a day, and there were rules for eating whatever he had.

At the moment, the eldest brother was punished by Taoist Chengyu for the first time, and the other brothers were afraid to avoid it, so that the master would know that he had a close relationship with him and that the disaster would end up in his own life. No one would even want to go to the matter of delivering food. If Chengyu had not sent Zhou Shaobai to deliver food, the eldest brother would have thought about his life on Qingxintai on hungry.

Zhou Shaobai took the food box, but felt very uneasy: This man often brought people to bully me, and even the girl from the Qin family was bullied, but his master asked me to deliver food to him. I don’t know why.

But the master's order was difficult to disobey, so he took the lunch box and nodded, "I know, I'll go now."

Qingxin Platform is thirty miles east of Yuping Peak, and is called the Platform. In fact, it is not a pavilion, but just a stone cave on the top of a dangerous peak.

There is about the size of a bedroom in the stone cave. There is nothing else inside except a stone bed, a stone table and a stone bench. It is hot and humid in summer and cold in winter. The days I think about living inside are really like the New Year.

To get from Yuping Mountain to Qingxintai, you must pass through an extremely steep mountain road. This mountain road is extremely narrow and only allows one person to pass through. There are cliffs on both sides. If you accidentally slide down the mountain, you will inevitably be crushed to pieces. This mountain road was called "Crucian Carp Back" by Taoists in the past, also known as "Eagle Sees the Sorrow".

At this moment, Zhou Shaobai was walking carefully on the "carp carp back". It was already night, and the stars seemed to be able to pick them up, and the moon above her head was even more bright and beautiful. However, Zhou Shaobai did not have the mood to watch the moon and starry sky, because the mountain wind was extremely violent at this time, and his sleeves and collars were rolled up, and he was almost blown into the air like a piece of paper.

Zhou Shaobai's ears were whistling, and he couldn't stand steadily. He had to bend down, use his hands and feet, and slowly move forward, but the food box was very burdensome, making him feel embarrassed.

The clouds above his head were swiftly passing by the wind, but Zhou Shaobai could only move forward inch by inch. After a long time, he finally moved out of the crucian carp's back. His clothes were soaked with sweat, and his legs were as heavy as lead. When he thought of the road like this, he would have to walk forty-nine days, and twice a day, Zhou Shaobai wanted to throw away the lunch box immediately and go back to bed.

With a lot of complaints, Zhou Shaobai came to the stone cave of Qingxintai.

He stood at the entrance of the cave and smelled a stuffy and humid smell of mold inside. He was reluctant to go in and shouted at the entrance of the cave: "Senior Brother! I am Zhou Shaobai. I'm here to bring you food. You can come out to pick it up!"

The voice of the eldest brother came from inside, and he was very tired: "Young brother, you should come in. I am very tired here and I really don't want to move anymore."

Zhou Shaobai thought to himself: It’s good, I’ll go and see how embarrassed you are now, and it’s easy to relieve my hatred.

He crawled into the cave and sweated again in an instant. It was very dark here, and the sultry and musty smell made people almost suffocate. If the elder brother hadn't lit a candle and copying scriptures, Zhou Shaobai would have thought he had entered an ancient tomb.

He walked over and saw that the eldest brother took off all his clothes, wearing only mid-trousers, sweating all over his body, using a candle to write and copy the scriptures. His sweat dripped from his wrist, wetting the paper.

Seeing the eldest brother in such a mess, Zhou Shaobai felt secretly happy and thought to himself that seeing his down-and-out appearance, it would be worth my suffering to get here after seeing this.

He put the lunch box on the stone table: "Senior Brother, this is your meal today. I'm leaving, I'll come to deliver you this time tomorrow."

The eldest brother put down the pen and said with a smile: "Little brother, wait a moment. Please send me food. I have something to ask."

Zhou Shaobai didn't want to talk to him, but he still said, "You ask."

"You send me food. Have you spit and pee secretly? If we change our situation, I will probably do this."

Zhou Shaobai sneered: "Brother, you are honest, but I am different from you. Seeing your appearance, I am already satisfied. Why do you do the dirty things that only you will do?"

"It's OK. I know that although you hate me, you are not bad-hearted and will never put down the wrong things. It's not like my other junior brothers. Don't worry, I'm just telling jokes, I know you won't do that." The eldest brother smiled, opened the food box and picked up the porridge and took a sip.

"Since that's the case, senior brother, please do your own thing. I'll leave." Zhou Shaobai turned around and wanted to leave, and senior brother called him again.

"My junior brother, why do you have to do this? I haven't talked to anyone for a day. I'm so suffocating. Since you have a good heart, just be kind and chat with me, a villain, for a while to relieve your boredom."

Although Zhou Shaobai really wanted to leave, he thought about it and still sat down.

"Okay. My junior brother, Master, he is very disappointed with me. After all, I usually pretend to be very well-behaved in front of him." The senior brother sighed and said.

Zhou Shaobai nodded and sneered: "This is naturally, but this is also your own fault. Evil will be punished."

The eldest brother nodded: "Good scolding. Younger brother, you are the only one who is in front of me, and you will not lie like others. It is very happy to chat with you. When I was proud, the other brothers flattered me in every way. Now that I have lost power in front of my master, I have fallen into this, and I have been bullied by me, you come to deliver food, haha, haha..."

Zhou Shaobai couldn't help but say, "Senior Brother, you never thought that you were the one who caused you to become like this?"

The eldest brother smiled and said, "Of course I thought about it, but I didn't look back. Junior brother, you are now a big celebrity in front of your master. Are the others treating you as they did before me?"

Zhou Shaobai shook his head: "I am not a celebrity, I just want to practice hard and go down the mountain in two years..."

He swallowed the second half of the sentence.

The eldest brother said strangely: "It's strange, hasn't your master told you?"

"What did you say?" Zhou Shaobai was puzzled.

The eldest brother smiled and said, "I have talked to you so much today, so let's talk about it. Do you know why I have been targeting you everywhere?"

Zhou Shaobai said: "I don't have any money to provide you with gambling and entertainment."

The eldest brother laughed: "There are too many junior brothers who have no money, why don't I seek trouble for them? I will tell you the truth. In fact, it is because the master prefers you very much. In front of me, he praised you several times, saying that you have extremely talented talents and will definitely achieve great success in time. But I am talented and stupid, unless God opens his eyes and gives me extra luck."

Zhou Shaobai was very surprised. In the past eight years of going up the mountain, he had never heard a master say such a thing, and he couldn't help but shake his head: "No, Master has never mentioned it in front of me, and Master has never taught me a profound Taoist sect. Until now, I am just practicing some basic Taoism to strengthen my body."

"That's because the master wants to consolidate your foundation. He said that you are very talented and will advance if you don't consolidate your foundation, and you will easily get into evil and get hurt. Moreover, the fact that you want to go down the mountain at the age of 18 also made Master hesitate, not knowing whether to teach you the profound Taoist sect of this sect. He even told me inadvertently that if you were me, he would have taught all his skills, cultivated successor talents, and strengthened my Yuping Peak lineage. Junior brother, I am really jealous of you, so I am embarrassed and bullied you everywhere."

After hearing the elder brother's words, Zhou Shaobai was very surprised. Although Chengyu usually loves him very much, he never realized that he had such a status in his master's heart.

The eldest brother sighed: "I disappointed my master this time, and I guess it will be difficult to turn over again in the future. My younger brother, Master values ​​you so much. If you want to seize the opportunity, you should think more about going down the mountain. If you can stop being a lay disciple, then the prosperity of the Yuping Peak lineage in the future will depend on you."
