Fang Chaozhou's master turned his face slightly, and after seeing his apprentice's distressed appearance at this time, his expression became more dignified. He considered it for a while before saying.
"Master, Chaozhou is stubborn. I didn't teach him well, so that he has been so lazy since he was a child, and he can hide when things happen. It is his great fortune that Master is willing to guide Chaozhou himself, but the marrow Is the matter a little overwhelmed? Although Chaozhou's qualifications are not outstanding, they are also considered to be excellent, can Master think again?"
Zhongli Yueshui's eyes were cold, "In fact, you didn't come here today for Dan Rong, but to intercede for Fang Chaozhou, right?"
As soon as these words came out, Fang Chaozhou's master's face became a little embarrassed, and he nodded after a while.
"You are right in saying some things. Fang Chaozhou was raised and disabled by you. With a master like you who indulges his disciples, it is no wonder that he has taught such disciples." Zhongli Yueshui's voice at this time was as severe as Fang Chaozhou's first time in China. On the day in Lishan, his tone when he spoke to Fang Chaozhou, "How many years has he been in Tianshui Sect now? Even Yuanying has not broken through, and his cultivation level is not even comparable to Dan Rong who entered the sect later than him. I How did you teach it? How do you teach him now? Is this how you teach apprentices?!"
The last sentence is like a mountain, weighing heavily on a person's heart.
Fang Chaozhou's master knelt down when he heard the words. Fang Chaozhou saw his master knelt down, his expression suddenly became a little confused, he looked at the other party helplessly, squatted down, and whispered: "Master...fu."
"Today is the eighth day of Fang Chaozhou's marrow washing. In two more days, he will finish the marrow washing. By then, whether it is breaking through the Nascent Soul, or breaking out of the body and distracting in the future, it will be much easier than he is now. Lin Didn’t you see Han’s lessons learned? That is, Lin Han was lucky, although he failed to cross the tribulation, but survived, do you think Fang Chaozhou must have such good luck?”
Having said that, Zhongli Yueshui turned his back, and his eyes fell on Tubai who was in the room.
"He is your disciple. You decide whether to let him stay and continue washing his marrow, or to take him back and be a waste who has been practicing for many years and has broken through Nascent Soul at most."
Tu Bai met Zhongli Yueshui's eyes, and took many steps back in an instant. It was wearing the same skin as Zhongli Yueshui's, but although they looked the same, their temperaments were completely different.
Tubai looked at Zhongli Yueshui with fear in his eyes.
Fang Chaozhou's heart was half cold when he heard Zhongli Yueshui's words. When he saw the look in Master's eyes, his heart was completely cold, but he still didn't give up. Don't... steal... lazy, master, master... father."
He reached out and grabbed Master's sleeve.
Master lowered his head slightly, raised his hand to hold Fang Chaozhou's wrist, and said in a low voice: "Chaozhou, Master is for your own good, be obedient, and endure for another two days." The latter sentence was lighter, "wash After the marrow, the master will take you back."
Fang Chaozhou immediately wanted to pull his hand out, "I can't... I will die..."
He will die in that pool.
But the master grabbed his hand firmly, and when he got up, he even pulled him up together.
Fang Chaozhou was pushed into the potion pool again. The strange snake that was torn apart by Tubai seemed to have been waiting for him for a long time. Almost as soon as he entered the water, the snake wrapped around him, from his ankles all the way up to his neck. At that moment, the snake opened its mouth and bit down.
With that sip, Fang Chaozhou's already pale face became even paler. He was soaking alone in the pool water, and the pain of bone crushing swept through his body again, but he couldn't even shake because he was given the immobilization spell.
Unable to speak or move, he could only look at his master, praying that there was room for him to turn around.
The master standing by the pool couldn't help turning his eyes away when he saw this scene, and after a while, he said, "Master, Chao Zhou has disturbed Master for many days in Huali Mountain. , or let him go back to Yizhi Peak to practice, and practice with his brothers and sisters, it is also fair, what do you think, Master?"
Zhongli Yueshui stared at Fang Chaozhou who was still looking at the other person, but did not speak.
Fang Chaozhou's master paused, opened his mouth, closed it again, but finally opened his mouth, "Master, sometimes it's not necessarily a good thing to push too hard. I think Master understands Chaozhou's temperament by now." , he is different from others, a string is too tight, I am afraid it will break."
Zhongli Yueshui heard the words, turned his eyes to Fang Chaozhou's master who lowered his head slightly, his eyes were a little cold, "You mean I made a mistake in raising my disciples?"
"I don't dare." Fang Chaozhou's master buried his head lower, "It's just that whether it's educating people or controlling people, you should be relaxed."
Zhongli Yueshui seemed to be annoyed, he shook his sleeves, put his right hand behind his back, and said after a while: "Okay, come and pick him up in ten days."
"Thank you, Master." Fang Chaozhou's master said immediately.
"I'm also going to retreat for a while. After the retreat is over, I will personally check Fang Chaozhou's cultivation. If he still can't break through the Nascent Soul after the marrow washing, you should stop teaching him."
Zhongli Yueshui's intentions were obvious, and he almost asked him to come over.
Fang Chaozhou's master paused for a moment, but still nodded, "Yes, master." After answering, he glanced at the pool, only for one glance, then turned his face away again.
Fang Chaozhou was the youngest among his many disciples when he came to Tianshuizong. At that time, his first disciple was in his teens, and the second disciple he accepted was Fang Chaozhou, who was still unable to walk steadily. At that time, he thought it was troublesome to take care of children, so he asked his senior disciples to take care of them. He didn't teach the basic basics.
In a trance, more than thirty years have passed.
For an immortal cultivator, more than thirty years is but a blink of an eye.
They retreat for as short as a few months, as long as several years, or even retreat for more than ten years, not a minority.
After all, he is his own apprentice, as a teacher, how can he not feel distressed? But it's useless to be distressed, he has long known the temper of his master.
He was practicing next to Zhongli Yueshui back then, his fellow juniors and him did not have a good night's sleep, if they dreamed of Zhongli Yueshui's face, they would wake up from the dream.
The matter of washing the marrow is an extremely risky matter, even if he, the master, guards and guards him, will the pain during the period be less? Will not.
After all, all of this is Fang Chaozhou's creation, and that's all he can do.
Seeing his master leaving, Fang Chaozhou twitched his long eyelashes, and the tears in his eyes fell, and the tears fell into the milky white pool and disappeared.
Zhongli Yueshui quietly inspected the young man in the pool, the mysterious green snake wrapped around Fang Chaozhou's body, as if Fang Chaozhou had become its offering. Fang Chaozhou's face was pale, with no blood at all, but his eyes, the corners and eyelids were bright red, as if they were stained with the juice of Manzhushahua.
After a long time, Zhongli Yueshui stepped on the steps into the bathing pool. After walking a few steps, he sat on the jade steps, expressionless, and said, "Come here."
Following those two words, the fixation technique was resolved.
Fang Chaozhou raised his eyes and looked at the man not far away. When he met his eyes, he couldn't help shaking his head, but when he shook his head, he heard Tu Bai's scream.
It was completely screaming, he had never heard Tu Bai screaming so miserable.
is punishment.
"If you have the strength to run, you should have the strength to come here." Zhongli Yueshui's voice could even be said to be calm, but coupled with Tu Bai's screams, it all seemed terrifying.
Fang Chaozhou closed his eyes, could only hold his breath, and approached the man. He didn't dare to get too close, and leaned closer, with a hand's distance away, but Tu Bai's screams didn't stop. Fang Chaozhou was trembling all over, but he had no choice but to move on.
Tu Bai's screams didn't disappear until he touched the man's knee.
He couldn't see where Tubai was now, maybe he was locked in the barrier by Zhongli Yueshui.
Zhong Li Yueshui looked down at the young man who was cautiously approaching his lap, after a while, he raised his hand and found that the other party was actually hiding, his eyes darkened.
But Fang Chaozhou couldn't help biting his teeth because of his subconscious actions, so when Zhongli Yueshui's hand approached again, he didn't hide.
Zhongli Yueshui's hand fell on Fang Chaozhou's face, and his fingertips rubbed against the young man's temples, whether it was sweat or pool water, "Fang Chaozhou, you stopped the marrow washing on your own initiative, do you think it should be punished?"
His pale lips trembled slightly, and he uttered a word, "Yes."
"So add another day." Zhongli Yueshui's hand ran down his temples, and when it reached his neck, the strange snake slid down quickly and no longer wrapped around Fang Chaozhou's neck.
The dry and warm fingertips lightly touched the wound below Chaozhou where two thin blood holes were bitten out, and then stroked the whole palm up.
He acted like he was petting a pet.
In the following time, Fang Chaozhou didn't know how it happened. He seemed to be dead, but he wasn't dead. His consciousness was ups and downs, and the pain kept haunting him.
On the tenth day, he was close to collapse, talking about how painful he was.
His eyes were full of tears, and his lips were covered with tiny wounds, all bitten out by himself.
But even if he broke down again, he didn't take a step out of the bath, but just shrank in the corner, nestled in the other's arms, crying until he passed out.
The pain of washing the marrow was the most painful pain Fang Chaozhou had ever experienced in his life. When he was a little conscious, he couldn't help thinking that if he was lucky enough to get out alive this time, he would really want to go out and brag.
He... is too powerful.
As for the crying for the eleventh day, Zhongli Yueshui was not a talkative person, as long as Zhongli Yueshui didn't talk about it, no one would know about his ugly appearance.
He will brag when the time comes, saying that Fang Chaozhou is really a real man, and he can even bear the marrow washing forcefully.
Thinking of this, Fang Chaozhou couldn't help curling his lower lip, but the smile was only halfway through, and he couldn't stabilize his body because of the pain. He clenched the hand holding Zhongli Yueshui's clothes even tighter for a moment, and because of loss of strength And let go.
The hands around his waist lifted up, and when the wave of pain finally passed, the teacup moved to his lips. Although Fang Chaozhou's eyes were blinded by the pain, he had already formed a habit, and when the teacup touched him, he parted his lips.
After drinking the mausoleum liquid, one hand came over with a silk handkerchief to help him wipe the corners of his lips. Fang Chaozhou let the other party, even if the other party's fingertips accidentally touched his tongue.
Fang Chaozhou felt as if he had slept for a long time. If he was not awakened by the rustling sound, he would still want to sleep and continue to sleep.
Mimi opened his eyes, and a figure entered his eyes. Fang Chaozhou blinked his eyes in a daze, then closed them again, "Senior Brother, am I dreaming?"
"What are you dreaming about? Second Junior Brother, you finally woke up. I bought you a newly released book and your favorite samara. Wake up and eat a little before going to sleep."
Fang Chaozhou still closed his eyes when he heard the words, "Liar."
There was a pause in the man's voice, and then there was an obvious smile in his tone, "What did I lie to you, Master allowed me to go down the mountain to buy it for you, Second Junior Brother, hurry up and eat something, I haven't seen you for a long time You, want to see you."
After saying that, Fang Chaozhou suddenly opened his eyes. He took a closer look at the man sitting beside his bed, and then, his eyes were full of surprise, "It's really you, senior brother."
"It's not me, who else?" Eldest brother took out the things he had prepared early in the morning from behind, "Second junior brother, look!"
The story book in the left hand and snacks in the right hand.
Fang Chaozhou looked left and right, and said slowly, "Am I back to Yizhi Peak?"
"That's right." Eldest Brother said.
survived!
Not only did he survive, he came back!
A quarter of an hour later, Fang Chaozhou was lying on the bed reading the script, and the senior brother sat by the bed and looked at Fang Chaozhou. Fang Chaozhou hadn't looked in the mirror since he woke up, but the elder brother could see clearly with his eyes, and he noticed the faint changes in the younger brother after washing his marrow.
Regardless of qualifications, just that face has changed.
Although the original Fang Chaozhou was good-looking, he might not be the most eye-catching in the crowd. For example, if someone saw Fang Chaozhou for the first time in a group of people, they might ignore him, but now they can't.
They used to have a junior brother Xue Danrong in Tianshui Sect, who was the most eye-catching wherever he went, making people unable to miss him, but now he felt that Fang Chaozhou was about to die, and people couldn't help staring at him.
Obviously the face is still the same face, but it seems that something has changed.
Is this the miraculous effect of marrow washing
The elder brother watched it for a while, and saw that Fang Chaozhou was reading the script seriously, so he couldn't help but call the other party, "Second junior brother."
"Huh?" Fang Chaozhou said casually.
"Master allows you to play for a day today, and practice with everyone tomorrow." The senior brother said.
Fang Chaozhou turned a page with his little finger, "Got it." After he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the senior brother again, "Then can the senior brother wake me up? I'm afraid I won't be able to get up."
Senior brother's eyes became a bit complicated, "Okay, but second junior brother, why are you thinking about it? Are you willing to practice hard now?"
Fang Chaozhou didn't answer, the elder brother was silent for a while, and then he said, "Because you don't want to go to the ancestor's side?"
The elder brother waited for a long time for the answer to this question. When he thought he would not be able to get the answer, he saw Fang Chaozhou nodded slightly.
the next day.
Fang Chaozhou looked at the dark blue sky, raised his hand and couldn't help but yawned. After yawning, he bumped Du Yunxi, the fifth junior brother, with his shoulder, "Fifth junior brother."
He lowered his voice to call someone.
It's been a long time since we saw each other, so we should catch up.
But Du Yunxi glanced at him, then turned his face away, and there seemed to be some anger between his brows.
Fang Chaozhou froze for a moment, and wanted to say something, but got hit on the head. He covered his head, and before he complained of pain, he heard Master's reprimand.
"Fang Chaozhou, what are you doing?"
Hearing this, Fang Chaozhou put his hands down embarrassingly, "Master, I didn't do anything."
Master glared at Fang Chaozhou, then looked back, adjusted his tone, Fang said: "There are still three months before the opening of the underground demon realm, that place is very dangerous, not everyone can come out alive, those who want to go must Pass my test first."
When Fang Chaozhou heard the words "Underground Demon Realm", he couldn't help looking at Xue Danrong who was farthest from the crowd.
Xue Danrong is holding the Duoshui sword, dressed in snow clothes, Zhilan Yushu, and the neck that is exposed from the collar is white and beautiful. Looking at it from a distance, he thought it was a piece of jade.
I don't know if it's Fang Chaozhou's illusion or what, but he feels that Xue Danrong seems to have grown a little taller.
He only briefly thought about the original height of the other party, and soon, he still focused on the matter of the underground demon realm.
Three months later, Xue Danrong will enter the underground demon realm.
Fang Chaozhou couldn't help but recall the plot about the underground demon realm in the original book, but when he recalled, his eyes still unconsciously fell on Xue Danrong.
After a long time, the other party looked over.
