11. Chapter 11(1/2)
The person who came here was wearing a green shirt, he was described as clean and elegant, and his behavior was refined. He didn't look like a cultivator, but more like a scholar who studied in the world.
His appearance looks young, but he has a sense of solemnity accumulated over time. If he is older, he still has the freedom and ease of a young man.
As soon as he appeared outside the door, everyone in the house stopped talking and saluted.
"Senior Brother Su."
"Why are you here, senior brother?"
"I've met my uncle."
"I've met the peak master."
Even the silver-haired leader Danyangzi greeted him: "Junior brother has been slacking off for many years and refused to accept a disciple. This time he is finally willing to do so."
The visitor is Su Xingting, the master of Xiaoyao Peak.
He laughed and said, "On a whim, I came to take a look. Everyone, please continue, don't delay me."
The female cultivator who offered the Guiyuan Mirror before gave a slight salute and said, "Senior Brother Su, please look at the flowers blooming in the snow. What do you think?"
This female nun is Ding Huirou, the master of Biyou Peak.
Biyou Peak is the most special main peak of the Guiyuan Sect. It only accepts female disciples on the peak, never male disciples.
Peak leader Ding Huirou is aloof and aloof, and somewhat unsociable.
Su Xingting glanced around the water mirror and nodded slightly: "The realm is rare. It's a pity that the light is not very bright and the talent is average."
After everyone heard this, they thought carefully that it was indeed true. Although their character was good, their talents were not good, and they could not be regarded as exceptionally good disciples. So many of their eagerness to give it a try calmed down.
Only Su Xingting himself glanced at the small line of names displayed on the glass clock and took in his eyes the words "Zhang Erya".
Head Danyangzi stroked his beard and said, "Junior Brother Su is absolutely right. Let's go on and see the other children."
After saying that, he slowly looked through the roster and squinted his eyes to read those three words again.
Ding Huirou nodded in agreement: "Senior Brother Su is right. Children who appear in snowy scenes usually have a cold personality and are indeed not easy to train."
So the matter was over, and everyone's attention was attracted by the rich and diverse illusion that followed. They secretly pondered and thought about choosing a few favorite disciples for themselves.
Exited Qingjing Peak.
Ding Huirou sacrificed a huge feather, and the white feathers fluttered, moving forward in the wind, flying towards her Biyou Peak.
The junior sister who was traveling with me asked: "Senior sister, are you attracted to that child with flowers blooming in the snow?"
Ding Huirou laughed: "Junior sister is still young and doesn't know how rare this realm is."
"However, Master Xiaoyao also said that her qualifications are ordinary and there is nothing unusual about her."
"You believe him?" Ding Huirou snorted, "Who is Senior Brother Su that you just met today? The more he likes something, the more calm he will speak."
"So it turns out that Senior Brother Su also likes this child?"
"Master Xiaoyao Peak looks lazy and inactive, but in fact he is the most shrewd in his heart. Look at Xiaoyao Peak. Although they have very few disciples, who among them is not a good and talented person? He can't let him take advantage of them all."
The junior sister then smiled and said: "Senior sister, why should you be anxious? Lan'er is also a disciple who has started this year. Let her tell those children with good qualifications and take the initiative to join our Biyou Peak."
Everyone has dispersed.
The headmaster Danyangzi stood outside the palace gate and looked at the moon with his hands behind his back. His disciple asked: "Master, what does it mean when flowers bloom in the snow? Master, please teach me."
Danyangzi twirled his long, white waist-length beard: "The human heart is the most elusive thing in the world. If it is possible to measure it and keep it true forever, how can I, a disciple of the Guiyuan Sect, produce so many incompetent disciples?"
.”
The disciple was very puzzled, "Why is this?"
"If a piece of white paper is stained with ink, it will be difficult to clean it again. If a piece of hot coal is splashed with water, it will be difficult to rekindle it." The old leader sighed, "Once the youth was romantic, it has gone through the wind and frost.
Withered and desolate. Once jade was pure and pure, but the world of mortals has become filthy. Children who first enter the mountain gate have a pure childlike heart, so they are naturally good. But the path of cultivation is so dangerous and difficult. They have tasted the inner demons and human desires, and they have suffered countless disasters. There are a few others.
I can still maintain my original Taoist heart.”
"The leader means that the child is very rare?"
Danyangzi looked at the bright moon in the sky and nodded slightly: "This child has experienced the wind and snow, but he has never been humble or self-inflicted. He has tasted the frost, but he still keeps his mind calm and the fire in his arms never goes out. The flowers are blooming in the snow, and it is very beautiful.
It's rare. Of course, I'm not the only one who noticed it, your fellow apprentices are also very sharp-eyed and took a fancy to it early on. I deliberately didn't say anything about it."
On Xiaoyao Peak, Su Xingting stroked his wine glass, "That's all. It's just that she is so young, how can she be in such a state of mind?"
Ye Xingzhou flipped through the record book at the side, raised his head and said: "Disciple checked the records of the new disciple's entry. This child's family is poor and he has three brothers in the family."
The two exchanged glances, showing expressions of sudden realization.
Nowadays, men are mostly respected in the world, and the trend of favoring boys over girls is prevalent in the world.
The two grown men quickly imagined a pitiful life experience for a little peasant girl named Zhang Erya, who was oppressed and bullied by her family but was constantly striving for self-improvement, which made them feel sad.
"So Master has decided to accept another junior sister?" Ye Xingzhou became happy.
"Nonsense, when did I say I would accept a disciple?" Su Xingting straightened his clothes, "Go and explain to your senior brother. This time Huayutang is giving lectures to new disciples, so I will go and join in the fun."
Mu Xue didn't know that she had attracted a wave of attention among the elders of the division. She was busy queuing up with Xia Tong, her roommate, holding bowls to receive breakfast.
The accommodation conditions in Huayutang are simple, but the food provided is quite rich.
Mu Xue, who hadn't eaten anything good in six years, couldn't control her body's instinct and swallowed.
"Xiaoxue, have you heard?" Xia Tong touched Mu Xue with her elbow, "That Ding Lanlan, the one with the jade hairpin on her head, came in directly because of her unofficial appointment."
She didn't know where she got a lot of gossip from in one morning, and she talked non-stop next to Mu Xue.
Mu Xue: "Oh, that's right. The braised eggs look so delicious. Auntie, please give me a braised egg. Thank you."
"I heard that her aunt is the immortal leader of the inner sect. She has been practicing since she was three years old. Now she is just going through the motions."
"Yeah, really. There are roasted quails. I want one, do you want one?"
"Roasted quail! I want it too." Xia Tong hurriedly handed over the plate, "For someone like her, she must know all the news in the sect, right? I really envy her."
"Well, yes, I'm so envious. Do you want a fried dough stick? Auntie, please give me another fried dough stick."
…
When the two of them were carrying plates and walking towards the dining table, several little girls stopped them.
"Senior Sister Lanlan wants you to come over," they said.
Mu Xue looked up and saw a girl wearing a pink skirt not far away, tapping the table with her hand impatiently, waiting for them to pass.
It was exactly what Xia Tong just mentioned, the "connected household" with someone above.
It is common for the strong to bully the weak everywhere, and Mu Xue would be surprised if such a thing did not happen.
Ding Lanlan is much taller than Mu Xue. She is already about ten years old. She has bright eyes and bright teeth, with restrained fluorescent eyes. There is spiritual power flowing around her body. She is indeed in a state of attainment.
Mu Xue walked forward with her breakfast and said cautiously: "Sister, are you calling me?"
Ding Lanlan looked at Mu Xue up and down for a while, raised her chin, and pointed to the place in front of her.
"Sit there."
Although she is only a young child, Mu Xue never underestimates the malice coming from children. Her childhood experience tells her that sometimes the younger the child, the more malicious they can unleash without any bottom line.
Mu Xue slowly sat down in front of Ding Lanlan with some caution.
Seeing that Mu Xue was very obedient, Ding Lanlan straightened her back and felt a little proud.
She remembered what her aunt Ding Huirou had specially come to explain early in the morning. She said to Mu Xue, "From now on, you can play with us."
Mu Xue:????
I thought there was going to be a scene where Ding Yamen oppresses Zhang Erya, a poor girl.
Why was he inexplicably drawn into a small circle?
"Eat quickly, a teacher from the inner sect will come over soon to teach." Ding Lanlan, who was in the center of the crowd, quietly revealed reliable information, "I heard that this year, the peak master of Xiaoyao Peak, Su Zhenren, will personally come to teach the first lesson."
"Who is the master of Xiaoyao Peak?"
"Is it very powerful?"
"You know, our Guiyuan Sect has a total of nine main peaks. Each main peak has a peak master. Each of these masters has unique skills. Xuandan Peak is good at alchemy, and Biyou Peak is good at transforming things. Only Xiaoyao Peak is the most special.
.”
"What's special? Are you particularly carefree?"
"Bah, what is Xiaoyao? The specialty of their peak is that they are good at fighting, well, it should be said to be fighting skills. From the senior sister Miao Hong'er to the youngest junior brother Ye Hangzhou, they are basically the leaders in martial arts competitions over the years. So although there are few people,
No one ever dared to provoke them."
Xiaoyao Peak, Mu Xue remembered that the senior brother named Ye who introduced her to the mountain gate was from Xiaoyao Peak. I wonder what kind of person his master would be?
Soon, she met the real person from Xiaoyao Peak.
Su Xingting wore a green shirt and a Xiaoyao scarf on his head. Facing the crowd of disciples, he sat down on the podium with a smile. He really looked like a teacher in a human school.
"The first lesson I send to my disciples is all about the cultivation of both life and life. Before I talk about this, I want to ask you, what is the purpose of leaving your hometown and going up the mountain to practice?"
A young disciple raised his hand and said, "I heard that after cultivating immortality, you won't starve to death even if you don't eat."
