The apprenticeship ceremony was held in the main hall of Shouyang Palace. Since they entered the sect at the same time, they were ranked according to their age.
Mu Changting was naturally the senior brother, and after that it was the turn of Fu Xifeng and Xing Yusheng. Zhou Zhi was the youngest and the last.
The four of them knelt down and worshiped teachers. Xie Yingjun stepped forward, gently stroked the tops of their heads, probed their cultivation and spiritual power one by one, and made a few comments with a smile. He gave each of them a spirit knot that would boost their cultivation. Dan.
Jie Ling Pill is a top-grade elixir, and it is extremely difficult to refine one, and it can be said that it is hard to buy. As a master, he is generous, and he prepared such a generous gift for the first time he accepted an apprentice.
After the four thanked you, Xie Yingjun nodded again and said: "Get up, you will live in Shouyang Palace for a long time in the future, even though you regard this as your own home. There are not many rules here, but there is only one thing. You can practice diligently, and don't slack off for a day."
The four of them looked together and said in unison: "Remember Master's teaching!"
Xie Yingjun smiled, and told them to wait for him in the main hall the next day, and let them go back to rest.
When I was in Kagura Palace, there were many disciples, and everyone slept in Tongbu.
Now in Shouyang Palace, everyone can be allocated a room alone. Mu Changting was so happy that he rolled into bed as soon as he entered the room, hugged the soft quilt and sighed so comfortably that he fell asleep at some point.
In a daze, he vaguely heard voices coming from outside the door, a bit like the voice of Fu Xifeng talking to someone else.
But Fu Xifeng didn't know anyone in Shouyang Palace, so how could he be chatting in the courtyard in the middle of the night, he slammed his mouth, suspecting that he had heard wrong, covered the quilt, turned his head and fell asleep again.
The next day, Xie Yingjun officially began to teach them to practice. From theory to demonstration, he would teach them from beginning to end, and then let the disciples figure it out by themselves. If they didn't understand, they would ask questions again.
Xie Yingjun is gentle, very approachable, and has no airs of being the leader at all.
The explanations are also from the shallower to the deeper, and usually give very vivid examples. His four apprentices are all very talented, and they can understand everything. There is no need for Xie Yingjun to bother.
After getting along with each other in just a few days, Mu Changting and the others no longer felt strange to Xie Yingjun, and they called Master Master very smoothly. But as Xie Yingjun said, they can be very free in Shouyang Palace, he doesn't even care when they get up and rest, as long as he sees that they can improve day by day, it is enough not to waste his teaching heart up.
Therefore, usually Xie Yingjun is like a spring breeze, only when inspecting their practice progress, he will be very strict, and anyone who fails to meet his requirements due to laziness will be punished.
The first person to be punished was Junior Junior Brother Zhou Zhi, this little guy is good at everything except gluttony.
Now, he finally forgot to practice spells because of his greediness. Xie Yingjun's face turned dark when he knew the reason, and punished him to run around the Qingxin faction ten times, and then he was responsible for carrying water for the Shouyang Palace kitchen for a full month.
Zhou Zhi pursed his lips, squatted on the ground and drew circles silently: "Master is so cruel, it's useless to beg for mercy..."
Mu Changting also likes to eat, but he can tell which is more important. What's more, after worshiping Xie Yingjun as his teacher, he has the opportunity to learn the very exquisite magic and sword formulas of the Qingxin School, and he almost devotes himself to it.
Seeing Zhou Zhi's depressed look at this moment, Mu Changting couldn't help but walked over and squatted in front of him, and knocked his head with a smile: "Be careful of being heard by the master, I will punish you twice!"
Zhou Zhi was so frightened that she turned her head to see if the master had gone far away, and patted her chest with lingering fear: "I was scared to death, I thought the master was really standing behind me."
Mu Changting teased, "What are you afraid of? Anyway, you ate everything, so you've made money, right?"
Zhou Zhipa pulled him back, staring at him, "Elder brother, I have your favorite whole roasted chicken, and my fifty-year-old daughter Hong, that tastes tsk tsk tsk..."
"...Hand it over, and I'll spare you."
"Hey, help me carry water."
"Okay, I will reluctantly help you choose for half a month."
"Ah, it's only been half a month, senior brother, you are too stingy..."
"Little ghost! Master is punishing you for being greedy. If I do everything for you, even if he wants to turn a blind eye, it will be impossible for him to turn a blind eye. You still want to continue to be punished, don't you?"
The two of them smell like each other, squatting there and discussing in a low voice.
Fu Xifeng walked over, grabbed each person by one ear, and said seriously: "You two, don't be lazy, get up and practice swords."
"Let's go, let's go!" Mu Changting yelled anxiously, covered his ears, picked up his sword and chased after him, "If you're against you, who is the big brother! Hmm? It's not big or small! Look at the trick!"
Zhou Zhi didn't think it was a big deal when he watched the excitement, and he laughed loudly from the sidelines: "Brother! The left side! Hey, I missed it!"
Xing Yusheng put away his sword and stood quietly aside, his eyes followed the young boy with a soft expression, and he could vaguely see a smile.
Time flies, and they stayed in Shouyang Palace for more than three months in a blink of an eye.
On that day, the town at the foot of the mountain was holding the Lantern Festival, which was considered the busiest festival in the town. Zhou Zhi had been coveting it for a long time, and was racking his brains on how to ask Master to allow them to go down the mountain. Thank you Yingjun for seeing their progress, and after nodding in satisfaction, he took the initiative to allow them to go down the mountain for two days.
Zhou Zhi cheered and shouted long live Master, as happy as a child.
Xie Yingjun shook his head dotingly, and specifically asked Mu Changting to take good care of them before Shi Shiran left.
In the evening of that day, Zhou Zhi went to Mu Changting's room early to urge him to leave. Mu Changting was drinking tea slowly, and Zhou Zhi stomped anxiously: "Brother! Hurry up! It will take some time to go down the mountain!"
Mu Changting deliberately teased him: "Are you in a hurry? If you are in a hurry, Yu Jian will fly away."
Zhou Zhi groaned: "You don't move, I can't go down the mountain by myself, it will be too late to go down Yujian!"
Mu Changting smiled: "You are not only greedy for food but also playful! Okay, let's go, go and call your second and third senior brothers."
Zhou Zhifeng rolled out like a wind, and rushed in after a while: "Okay, come quickly!"
Mu Changting took the Longevity Sword, but only saw Fu Xifeng and Zhou Zhi when he went out. He asked in confusion, "Where is the third junior brother?"
Zhou Zhi shook his head: "I went to check in his room, no one is there, don't worry, the second senior brother asked me to write him a small note, and the third senior brother will follow us when he comes back later."
What else did Mu Changting want to say, but Fu Xifeng was the first to go up with his sword: "Don't waste time, let's go."
Zhou Zhi couldn't wait to fly out with him, Mu Changting had no choice but to follow him quickly.
The master asked him to take care of them, but in fact the focus was on taking care of the junior brother, this little guy really needed someone to watch over him.
The town was indeed very lively, the three of them went to the restaurant to have a meal first.
Mu Changting was in a good mood, he sat on the second floor and looked downstairs.
The sky was getting dark, people were coming and going on the streets, vendors hung up lanterns, and after a while, the whole town was surrounded by warm candlelight, looking from afar, it looked like a river of stars.
A high platform was erected at the end of the street, and the sound of gongs and drums came from far and near, and the crowd rushed away, laughing and laughing constantly. Zhou Zhi couldn't sit still anymore, he stretched his head and kept looking around.
Mu Changting originally wanted to wait here for Xing Yusheng, but they had not seen Xing Yusheng after sitting for so long. He is not a person who likes to join in the fun, so maybe he won't come.
Mu Changting thought for a while, and called Xiaoer to pay the bill, and Zhou Zhi rushed out happily.
It was the busiest time, and the street was crowded with people. Mu Changting hurriedly chased him out. At the beginning, he could still see Zhou Zhi's figure, but in the last blink of an eye, he disappeared.
Fu Xifeng frowned and squeezed at the end, Mu Changting tried his best to squeeze forward in the middle, and Zhou Zhi had already rushed to the front of the high platform with his nimble posture.
But when Mu Changting squeezed to the front, where was Zhou Zhi
Mu Changting really had a headache, he said "I'm sorry to let you go" and searched all over the street, but in the end he and Fu Xifeng also separated.
Someone bumped his shoulder suddenly. Mu Changting was standing on tiptoe to look forward. One of them didn't pay attention and was shaken by the bump. He was about to fall backward when suddenly someone grabbed his waist.
Mu Changting leaned against the man behind him, using his strength to stand firm.
After exhaling, Mu Changting was about to turn around to thank him. When his eyes touched the indifferent and handsome face of the man, he froze for a moment. Then he frowned and said with a smile, "Junior brother! I thought you weren't coming!"
The slender waist in the hand is not full, and the warm temperature is transmitted from the fingertips, directly reaching the bottom of the heart like an electric shock.
Xing Yusheng's eyes moved, and he retracted his hand as naturally as possible, and said in a low voice: "Well, I just came here. There are many people here, let's go to the side to stop." He sideways half blocked Mu Changting, greatly avoiding Mu Changting Get hit again.
Mu Changting scratched the back of his head, and smiled embarrassedly: "I got separated from them, so let's find the younger brother first, he is too playful, someone needs to watch over him."
Xing Yusheng said: "You don't need to look for it. When I came, I saw Senior Brother Fu holding him over there and giving him a lecture."
He pointed in a direction, and Mu Changting looked at it, and it was the place with the most people.
Mu Changting sighed: "Forget it, there are too many people now, let's meet them later."
Xing Yusheng nodded, and the two walked to a place where there were few people.
At this time, in a corner, two girls looked at the direction they were leaving and whispered.
The one in the moon-white clothes has a handsome appearance, and he is already considered good-looking, while the other one in the light-yellow clothes is even more outstanding, like a peony competing for beauty, gorgeous and compelling.
The girl in the moon white clothes said anxiously: "Biyun, you really want to go see him... that's not right."
Xu Biyun raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Xiao Ning, you are too timid! There is nothing wrong with this, and no one knows. Hurry up, I'm going to lose you."
They sneaked up after them, and Cheng Ning muttered in a low voice, "You don't like so many people, why do you like him?"
Xu Biyun blushed: "Who said, who said I like him! I just want to thank him for saving his life!"
Cheng Ning frowned and said worriedly: "It's fine if you really don't like him. I heard...he used to have that kind of relationship with Mr. Lin... Well... In short, it's not very good."
Xu Biyun didn't understand: "What are you talking about?"
Cheng Ning leaned into her ear and whispered, Xu Biyun was taken aback for a moment, and resolutely rejected it: "Impossible!"
Cheng Ning said, "Why is it impossible? I saw him come out of Lin Jian's room with my own eyes!"
Xu Biyun asked suspiciously: "Come on, the distance between Kagura Palace and Obscure Moon Palace is so far, how could you have seen it? Even if you come out of his room, it can't prove anything."
Cheng Ning lowered her eyes and said in a low voice after a long while: "When I first came here, I met Lin Jian on the way back to the palace. He once tricked me into his room, so I know what kind of person he is... Besides, there have been rumors among the disciples, so this matter is probably true."
Xu Biyun's eyes widened: "Then, then you..."
Cheng Ning shook her head: "I'm fine, nothing happened."
Xu Biyun said bitterly: "It's good that this kind of bitch died early, otherwise I would definitely crush him to ashes!"
Cheng Ning smiled and said, "Then let's go back!"
Xu Biyun wondered: "Why do you want to go back? I haven't spoken to Senior Brother Xing yet!"
Cheng Ning asked anxiously, "Why are you still talking to him?"
Xu Biyun smiled and said, "It's not Senior Brother Xing who did the evil. According to you, he's still a victim. I should care more about him!"
