"Over the years, disciples have rarely seen Master get angry."

The wind and snow on the top of Kunlun Seven Peaks was extremely cold, Mei Qing gradually followed Elder Tianji all the way away from Tianfu Peak, and when they reached the middle of the mountain, they felt that the temperature had warmed up a lot.

Not far from here is the martial arts training ground of Jixia Academy, where many young disciples are gathering together to chat and laugh when their martial arts competition has come to an end.I don't know who said a joke, which caused everyone to burst into laughter.

Elder Tianji looked at the energetic young disciples in front of him, seemed to be in a daze for a while, and then sighed softly after a long while: "You have suffered a lot, and I used to be a teacher who didn't know it."

Mei Qing gradually lowered her eyes, and said in a low voice: "Most of the trials and tribulations in the world are hard for anyone to escape. What's more, the background of the disciple is different from others. The master has taught that the burden on his shoulders is also heavier than others. .”

At this point, he hesitated to speak, seeing no one around, he hesitated to continue: "Disciple, remember, the master once said that the seal on my body...was there as early as when I started, it was my parents. It was sealed with my own hands back then."

Elder Tianji closed his eyes and nodded, sighed: "It's just a waste of time to explain it to them in detail, so there's no need to say more.

"This seal sealed the natural divine power of your Bai people, and also sealed up your own spiritual memory. It is precisely because of this that your understanding and intelligence were far inferior to others when you were young. It is definitely not your fault.

"Over time, the seal has gradually loosened in recent years. If you find that your mind is shaken and confused, and the memory of the seal emerges...well, then don't panic."

Mei Qing gradually responded in a low voice, pursed her lips, and said: "If you go deep into the Great Desolation Abyss and use the Southern Dou Formation, the disciple's mind will be confused, wouldn't it be a big disaster."

Only then did Elder Tianji open his eyes.

He is already more than a hundred years old, because he has seen the way of heaven, his face is not old. At this moment, his face looks like a crown of jade, without any haggard and old appearance. Only the expression in his eyes shows the kindness unique to old people Come.

He raised his hand and patted Mei Qingjian's shoulder, and said with a slight smile, "Then let me choose a few helpers for you as a teacher."

After finishing speaking, Elder Tianji was already moving forward with his clothes fluttering, Mei Qingjian hurriedly walked a few steps behind Master.

Bypassing the side of the Jixia Academy, there is another clean bamboo house to the north, which was originally used by the students of the Academy to rest.At this moment, the sword is shining brightly from a distance, seven or eight young disciples are here to compete with swords, seeing the arrival of Elder Tianji, they all accept their invitations and salute.

Elder Tianji said: "Outstanding disciples from all peaks are selected here. They have excellent qualifications and can help the Nandou formation. Jian'er, nephew Ning Ziqian of Tianfu Peak, you have met before."

Mei Qingjian bowed slightly to salute, and an imposing young man in blue shirt opposite immediately returned the salute with his sword.

Mei Qingjian had already heard that Ning Ziqian was the head disciple of the head elder of Tianfu.Among the disciples of the same generation, he can't be singled out for his proficiency in literature, martial arts, and cultivation techniques. What's more rare is that he is kind and respected widely. After a hundred years from the elder of Tianfu, he will naturally take over as the head of the sect.

Ning Ziqian smiled and said, "Among the younger brothers and sisters of the same generation, if there are some who don't know Junior Brother Mei, let me introduce them one by one."

At the moment, Ning Ziqian led the introduction of the rituals one by one.

These people are all elites of various lines, and they volunteered to help the Nandou Formation because they respected Elder Tianji's virtue of guarding the Great Desolate Abyss with the Ziwei Seven Star Formation.Needless to say, the sincerity of the heart and the essence of the exercises.

After seeing Li one by one, Elder Tianji asked them to practice the formation well before they dispersed.

After walking more than ten feet away, Elder Tianji asked, "What do you think?"

Mei Qingjian remained silent for a moment, thought carefully in her heart, and then slowly said: "Senior Brother Jiang Bie from Si Ding's lineage, and Senior Sister Wen Yansheng from Si Yao's lineage, have the deepest insights into the way of formation. only……"

He hesitated a little, and said hesitantly: "Master, from what I have seen, the chaos in the Great Wilderness needs the assistance of the monarch and his ministers to solve it. The Big Dipper Formation is the main one, and the Southern Dipper Formation is the supplement. In the Southern Dipper Formation, one must not be blindly greedy The merits are advancing rapidly. The elites of each line have their own strengths, and they will not admit defeat to each other. The disciple is worried that once the fellow sects have disputes in the Great Desolation Abyss, there will be side issues."

Elder Tianji nodded slightly, at this moment, Mei Qingjian suddenly changed his expression, stopped and said: "Master, this disciple has someone to recommend."

There is an apricot forest in the south of Jixia Academy, which is remote and sparsely populated. It is an unknown and remote place.At this time, the apricots are just ripe, fresh and tender, hanging on the branches, reflected by the sword light array that is shining everywhere, it is really beautiful.

Mei Qingjian, dressed in white and with a long sword, wandered among the Taiji Eight Diagrams array on the ground, her figure was light and nimble, and she was able to handle tasks with ease.Bo Jiu, who was following behind, was staggering, with clumsy gait, and almost immediately his left foot tripped over his right foot, and he fell all over the place.After finally stepping out of the formation and standing still, Mei Qingjian said:

"Yan, Kan, Gen, Zhen—this is the Jiugong Bagua formation for beginners. Just memorize it and practice it well, and I will teach you the rest of the formations slowly."

Bo Jiu tremblingly agreed, he didn't dare to raise his head, let alone look at the expression of that virtuous senior - I heard that it was Elder Tianji who was in charge of the formation, and he was Senior Brother Mei's master .As long as this title is suppressed, Bo Jiu feels that there are two conflicts.

He has been in Kunlun for six years, and Jixia Academy has undergone two routine public evaluations, but he never dared to imagine that the masters of various peaks could actually look up to such a bastard like himself.

Bo Jiu was born in a peasant family. When he was eight years old, a famine broke out in a disaster year. He fled his hometown in a hurry and ran to his elder sister's house to stay.

The eldest sister married to a neighboring county in the early years. The couple ran a small medicinal material business, and they were still not rich. They didn't want to raise another young man who ate rice, so they half-coaxed and half-deceived him, packed his luggage, and sent him to Kunlun Mountain School. art.

To say that his eldest sister's family is kind-hearted, farming and doing business is after all a mediocre way, which cannot be compared with cultivating immortals and attaining the Tao.

Kunlun Mountain doesn't treat outer disciples harshly, and they have all the daily necessities, food, and food, which is obviously much easier than rolling around in the rivers and lakes to make a living.

But they don't know that Xiuxian has strict requirements for talents. Bo Jiu has been in Kunlun for six years, and he has experienced six years of cold-eyed runs.

If not, there would not be the same encounter with Qishaya a few days ago.

Mei Qing gradually put the sword back into its sheath, bowed and called out: "Master—"

Elder Tianji hummed.Right now, Mei Qing gradually taught Bo Jiu the formation technique, and his eyes could not leave this little disciple for a moment.One is to observe his aptitude, and the other is to examine his character.

Looking at it carefully at this time, I feel that although this child is simple and cautious, but because of his timidity and cowardice, it is difficult to achieve great things, so he is not very satisfied.Just looking at the earnest look in Mei Qingjian's eyes, he knows that he is remembering his youthful situation, so he is more protective of this child, and he is not too demanding.After pondering for a moment, he said:

"The turbulence of the Great Desolate Abyss is getting worse, and I'm afraid that within a few days, we will need to start practicing the Southern Dou Formation. Time is running short, and if the sky does not change, we will enter the abyss and form an array. One step, but the world will change color."

Mei Qingjian had already thought about this point, and immediately responded: "Among you fellow disciples, there is not one who specializes in the way of formation. Although Xiaojiu learned it from the beginning, the gap is not far behind. Teaching the formation of the Southern Dou wholeheartedly is like painting on white paper, I'm afraid it will be more effective than others."

Elder Tianji nodded, and said again: "The turmoil in the Great Desolate Abyss happened 16 years ago. The four ferocious beasts cultivated and thrived, and it is impossible to guarantee that they will not set up many traps in the abyss. This trip is dangerous and unpredictable. How do you protect yourself? Nephew Zhouquan?"

Mei Qingjian lowered his head and thought for a while, then replied: "Double in the south for a while, this disciple has been deliberating over and over again in his heart, why don't you let the disciples be in the command star and arrange troops; Senior Brother Ning Ziqian is in charge of the Yin star, and he will take an overview and dispatch; Si Ding Senior brother Jiang Bie from the same line is in charge of Yin Xing, dealing with chaos; Senior Sister Wen Yansheng in the line of medicine is in charge of blessing stars, healing wounds; Xiao Jiu is in charge of good stars, helping me to arrange formations at all times. As for the most Senior brother Ling Yu is in charge of the most important star of the subduing demons, and it is enough to think about it.

"In this way, Jiang Xing, Ling Xing, Yin Xing, and Yin Xing are the main forces against the enemy, and the four of us will protect Senior Sister Wen and Xiao Jiu, so nothing unexpected will happen."

Elder Tianji sighed, and said: "It's unpredictable, it's hard to say. This burden is not something ordinary people can afford. Have you ever asked him about his mind?"

Mei Qing gradually turned to look at Bo Jiu.Bo Jiu didn't expect that the four eyes of these two people would fall on him, and he hesitated for a while, unable to utter a word for a long time.

He has always been shy and shy, and dare not even say a word in front of outsiders, not to mention that the two of them had just answered each other, and he couldn't figure out eight out of ten sentences, the only thing he understood was what Senior Brother Mei said to him. Every word and sentence is the meaning of protection.

He wasted six years in the Jixia Academy in Kunlun Mountains. He saw that he had no chance to worship under any elders. Once he reached the age of weak crown, he would be sent down the mountain. How is this life different from a mediocre person?He gritted his teeth, and bowed down to Elder Tianji:

"Kunlun closed his door and changed. If——if the elder doesn't think the disciple is stupid, the disciple will obey the elder and Senior Brother Mei's instruction!"
