Song Zipei was taken aback when he saw Gu Xuecun in front of the school gate. He opened his mouth in a daze for a long time, and then said in a daze, "Ah Yue...you broke through again??"
Maybe it was too shocking, Song Zipei always spoke softly and slowly, but he said this sentence a little loudly, which attracted the attention of the disciples passing by.
Gu Xuecun was holding an orange in his hand, and was concentrating on peeling the orange. Hearing this, he smiled and broke off a petal and handed it to him, seemingly casually saying: "Yeah, when I was spitting out last night, I just sensed the opportunity to break through, so I just picked it up." ……What's wrong?"
Song Zipei caught the tangerine in a daze, and said with a gaping mouth, "You...you..."
The speed of your breakthrough is really too appalling.
No... It took more than a month to grow from nothing, from foundation establishment to consecration and integration, this speed, even if it is described as appalling, is already considered a relatively peaceful term.
Because it is unheard of, unseen.
Could it be because he was young and energetic, blindly pursuing quickness and disregarding the stability of his realm?But if you think about it carefully, no matter how young and energetic ordinary people are, it is impossible for ordinary people to jump three big realms from scratch in more than a month. This is not a question of whether they want to, but a question of whether they can.
And when he looked intently, he clearly found that the young man's breath was peaceful and his true essence was solid, and he seemed to have a very solid foundation at first sight.
In Song Zipei's view, Shi Yue's calm and unhurried appearance is not at all like a young boy who has just entered the Taoist practice. Old fritters.
The most frightening thing to think about is that even a genius such as a junior martial uncle took almost four years to go from entering Taoism to the integration period, but although Shi Yue usually seems to be self-motivated and carefree, but...
He is no longer a blockbuster, and if this speed of entry spreads, it may be a blockbuster.
Although Song Zipei was surprised, Gu Xuecun didn't care much.
Whether it was when he was proud or when he was down in his life, Young Palace Master Gu didn't know how to write the word "Zangzhuo". From the very beginning, he had no intention of suppressing his cultivation to deceive others. During the heartbeat period, open the Wind and Thunder Sutra to detoxify Lu Jueling—then hurry up and go back to each house with Lu Jueling, and each find his own mother.
Song Zipei and Gu Xuecun walked towards Wendao Zhai along the bluestone path of the academy, Gu Xuecun saw that the gate of Wendao Zhai was close in front of him, so he simply stuffed half an orange in his hand that he didn't have time to savor petal by petal. into the mouth.
Daoist Jingheng in Wenwenzhai waited for his apprentice for a long time, and this is what he saw——
The two teenagers poked their heads out and found that Master Jingheng had already arrived at Wendao Zhai, and crept in through the door. Song Zipei stood in front, lowered his head and whispered: "...Master."
Daoist Jingheng shook the whisk in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Zipei, what time is it? The opening ceremony of the sword is approaching, but you are becoming more and more lazy!"
Song Zipei was taken aback, and was about to admit his mistake, but the round-faced boy next to him quickly said back: "Master Jingheng's words are so unreasonable, the morning class only starts at [-]:[-], and it's only the end of the hour, and we are not late, uncle Why do you say Senior Brother Song is lazy?"
Seeing that he actually dared to talk back, Master Jing Heng bulged his cheeks from time to time when he spoke, and he was so angry that he said angrily: "I know how to eat and eat all day long! The five desires are not clear, and the six sense organs are not clean. You cultivate What kind of way? I will discipline and discipline you for my junior brother today!"
When Gu Xuecun saw that he was about to pinch his ears when he raised his hand, how could he obey obediently, raised his feet and ran, howling in his mouth while running: "Master! You can't do this! My master has never hit me!"
Master Jingheng pushed Fuchen away from his waist, and said angrily: "I think it's your master who spoiled you and made you lawless. Today I will take good care of him, you stubborn monkey!"
Seeing this situation, Song Zipei was dumbfounded.
Over there, Shen Yuchen was sitting in front of his stone desk, not even looking up at them, holding a small square cloth in his hand, carefully wiping his long silver sword.
Another true disciple of Taixuan Peak even smiled, as if he had never heard of it.
Seeing that Wendao's room was about to jump around, a girl's gentle voice suddenly came from beside him.
"Uncle Jingheng."
Jingheng was taken aback, and suddenly remembered today's business, he coughed dryly, stood back to the original place and said: "Forget it, I think you are young, let me forgive you for now, if you dare to contradict the teacher again next time, I will definitely ask your teacher to send you off." You go to the mountain gate and strike the clock for a month."
"I have another important thing to tell you today." Master Jing Heng pulled out his whisk and took a step to the side.
Only then did Gu Xuecun realize that standing behind him was a slender and slender young girl in white clothes. The girl wore a small and unique machete on her waist, and Gu Xuecun felt a little familiar with her appearance.
This young girl is the one who blocked Daoist Jingheng just now.
Master Jing Heng said: "This is the disciple of your master master, you should call her Senior Sister Yue Yin. She has been retreating in the back mountain of Yuanping Peak all the year round, and she rarely sees people. Two months later, she will go to Beihai with you , so even though she is an inner sect disciple, she is also having morning classes with you at Wendao Zhai these few days, so that she can get acquainted with you first."
Gu Xuecun seemed to think of something, looked around, and said strangely: "By the way, where is Senior Brother Yue?"
Master Jingheng said: "Mian'er has already gone down the mountain to travel with the permission of the senior brother in charge."
Only then did Gu Xuecun say "oh", he stared at Yue Yin in a daze, as if thinking of something, he said with some doubts: "Why do I think Senior Sister Yue..."
Yue Yin seemed to see what he was thinking, and said softly: "That's right, brother Yue Mian and I are both from the Yue family in Gusu, he is my cousin."
After she finished speaking, she smiled slightly at Gu Xuecun and Song Zipei, her expression was frank and upright, quite heroic, but her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, with a kind of graceful and charming style unique to Jiangnan daughters.
After all, Gu Xuecun is male and loves men, and he grew up in the Chunhua Palace, a place full of fans. He was used to seeing beautiful sisters and beautiful sisters, so he didn't feel much about it; but when he turned his head, he saw Song Zipei's eyes were blank He seemed to realize that it was not good for him to keep staring at a girl like this for a while, so he suddenly lowered his head and blushed.
When Gu Xuecun saw his expression, his heart instantly became clear.
After the morning class, Gu Xuecun stood up and walked in front of him, he laughed and said, "Brother Song, are you..."
After getting along with him these days, Song Zipei didn't know what was going on in Gu Xuecun's mind all day long, so he said quickly: "Ah Yue, please don't talk nonsense, my...the girl doesn't know us at all."
Seeing his overreacting appearance, Gu Xuecun felt happy, and squinted at Song Zipei with a half-smile on his face, and said, "I haven't said anything, and I haven't mentioned which girl it is, why did you take the seat first?"
Song Zipei was stunned, knowing that he had been tricked by this person again, and was a little annoyed when Master Jingheng came to them at some point.
Gu Xuecun saw that Song Zipei's gaze was fixed by his side, and suddenly kept silent, just as he was wondering, when he turned his head and saw the real Jingheng standing quietly beside him, Gu Xuecun was so frightened that he let out an "ow" and patted his chest Said: "Oh, Master Jingheng, why are you walking so silently, it's frightening to death."
Jingheng didn't care about his appearance, which was neither big nor small, but said quietly: "You follow me."
Gu Xuecun panicked, thinking to himself, did Lu Juiling tell his seniors his real identity?
No, no, Lu Jueling doesn't seem to want him to leave the Zixiao faction now, so he probably won't do so.
He followed Daoist Jingheng out of the gate of Wendao Zhai, and the two stood under an old locust tree.
Daoist Jing Heng took his hand, and slammed it on the pulse gate. After a while, looking at him with some doubts in his eyes, he said: "When... did you break through to the fusion stage?"
Gu Xuecun replied honestly: "Last night."
Real person Jingheng asked again: "When did you break through to the consecration?"
Gu Xuecun replied: "Half a month ago, Uncle Gu Shi was teaching the morning class that day, and she knew about it."
Master Jingheng seemed to have thought of something, walked around anxiously for two steps, and murmured: "No...no..."
After a long while, he suddenly turned his head again, stared at Gu Xuecun with gloomy eyes and said coldly: "Who is your Excellency, and why did you let such a cover-up trick into the Zixiao faction? What is your plan?"
Gu Xuecun thumped in his heart, still pretending to be stupid, and said blankly: "Ah? Master, what did you say?"
Daoist Jingheng stared at him intently.
After a while, he finally sighed and looked away.
"Has your master ever known about your breakthrough?"
Gu Xuecun felt relieved, secretly thinking that his psychological quality is so deceitful?
"No, I just broke through last night."
In the end, Master Jingheng just took a deep look at him and let him go.
The day of the sword opening ceremony will soon arrive.
In the past month, Gu Xuecun has been avoiding Lu Jueling on purpose. After the morning class, he can go back as late as he can. He pretends that Lu Jueling’s black face is not seen. As soon as he goes back, he starts to meditate and breathe out. He talks to him almost every day. The time for real communication and contact should not exceed half an hour.
And Lu Jueling's attitude is really puzzling, how aggressive he was before, how cold and indifferent he has been this month.
Gu Xue thought to herself, maybe it's still the words that day, who wouldn't be chilled after hearing that, is he an exception to Tianjue Daoist?
……
Gu Xuecun shook his head, thinking what he was feeling lost in, wasn't that what he was thinking.
But today's sword opening ceremony, he and Lu Jueling really couldn't escape.
The small square in the apse of Zixiao Palace was as grandly furnished as it looked on the day of his apprenticeship ceremony. The difference was that he was not the only protagonist this time.
In addition to him, Song Zipei, and Yue Yin, seven or eight inner sect disciples also participated in the opening ceremony of the sword this year and went to the Kunyuan Secret Realm for trials.
Seeing Song Zipei holding his sword in a trance, Gu Xuecun smiled and said, "Brother Song, I don't think you like swords much, why do you have to be a sword repairer?"
Song Zipei is also willing to talk to him about other things at the moment, without him, he is really a little nervous.
"This sword is 100% suitable for me. I didn't know why at the time, so I chose him." Song Zipei's face was a little stunned, "Actually, what you said is right. Before choosing the sword, the master also said that I am more suitable for it." Daoxiu."
Just as Song Zipei was saying this, the sword in his hand trembled slightly as if it had a spirituality.
Gu Xuecun clicked his tongue: "Look, it is not happy when you say you want to be a Taoist. This sword has become a spirit!"
Song Zipei was speechless for a moment, and said: "You are talking nonsense again, how can a sword spirit be conceived so easily, the withered cold of the little master is made of a thousand-year-old gloomy wood, and it is the most able to accommodate the aura and hostility, so it only takes such a short time Even if a sword spirit or an ordinary spirit sword is produced, it may not be able to produce a living being for a thousand years..."
Just as he was saying this, the sword in his hand suddenly buzzed again.
Gu Xuecun said solemnly: "Look, it's really angry."
Song Zipei also looked at his sword in a puzzled way, and said, "Maybe it's because the water and spiritual energy here is too abundant, that's why it's uncomfortable. In the past, it would be the same when it was by the river..."
But Zixiao Palace is located on the sunny side of the mountain, the sun is scorching, let alone Shui Lingyuan at this moment, Gu Xuecun's lips are a little dry from the sun.
While the two were chatting, a bell rang at the gate of the mountain.
The hour has come.
Gu Xuecun has been in the Zixiao School for such a long time, and at this moment he finally feels a little weird and his conscience is a little uneasy.
He followed Song Zipei, looking at the seven or eight young disciples who were talking and laughing at Yanyan, he felt like a strange uncle who had sneaked into the team of shuttlecock kickers.
Although the Sword Unveiling Ceremony is nominally a ceremony where the master bestows names on the natal instruments and sabers of these junior disciples, it is actually also their coming-of-age ceremony.
There is a huge incense burner in front of the patriarch's hall, three sticks of thick sticks of incense sticks are inserted in it, and the smoke slowly floats out.
The bell in the hall struck nine times regularly, Yuan Ping real person kowtowed to the portraits of the two patriarchs, Gu Xuecun was far away, and couldn't hear what he said clearly.
After a while, the ceremony finally officially started.
The first few are inner disciples, Gu Xuecun and Song Zipei, as personal heirs, may need to be the finale, so they are at the bottom.
Among the several inner disciples in front, the first one was Yue Yin. Gu Xuecun saw her kneeling in front of the Patriarch Hall holding the round scimitar, facing Lord Ding Xiao and Sword Lord Ziping with a pious expression. His portrait kowtowed three more times.
Seeing this, Gu Xuecun smacked his tongue and said, "Why do you have to kowtow for everything? Let's kowtow after the head master kowtows? Just kowtow for apprentices, and kowtow for swords?"
As he spoke, he turned to look at Song Zipei, but he saw that his eyes were staring straight at something. Gu Xuecun followed his gaze and saw Yue Yin's soft and graceful side face.
Gu Xuecun: "..."
Gu Xuecun: "Hey, Brother Song, you're back to your senses."
Coincidentally, the sword in Song Zipei's arms suddenly buzzed at this moment, and he was taken aback for a moment, looked down at his sword, and then looked back at Gu Xuecun.
Gu Xuecun said: "When you saw my women's clothing, you also looked like this, and you said you were not interested in me?"
Song Zipei retorted softly: "But you are not a woman after all..."
Gu Xuecun: "..."
"You haven't answered me yet, do you have to kowtow even when you open your sword?"
Song Zipei shook his head and said: "Of course not. There has never been such a rule. It's just that some disciples have admired the reputation of the two masters for a long time, so they do it spontaneously. It only needs me and the master to be present to open the sword."
Gu Xuecun let out an "oh", and his eyes instinctively drifted to Lu Jueling, who was the first to observe the ceremony.
I don't know if it's a coincidence, just as Gu Xuecun cast his gaze over, he happened to find that Lu Jueling was also looking at him.
The man's light brown eyes are like a bottomless pool.
Gu Xuecun was taken aback for a moment, and quickly lowered his head to avoid staring at him.
However, it didn't take long for him to feel annoyed in his heart, thinking to himself, what are you afraid of?He didn't know who he was competing with, and forced himself to look up at him again.
But when he raised his head again, he found that the real Tianjue over there had turned his gaze away and stopped looking at him.
Gu Xuecun felt lost in her heart.
The sword opening ceremony of the seven inner disciples was all over, and it was Song Zipei's turn at this moment, but Gu Xuecun didn't even bother to watch Song Zipei's sword opening ceremony over there. That incomprehensible look.
Song Zipei came back holding the sword, looking very happy.
Gu Xuecun shook the sword in his hand and walked to the small square in front of the Patriarch Hall.
Daoist Tianjue was already waiting there.
Gu Xuecun walked up to him bravely, imitating the appearance of Song Zipei and a few inner disciples just now, holding the sword and bowing his head, and said dryly: "Disciple Shi Yue, respectfully ask Master to open the sword."
Lu Jueling said lightly: "This is an auspicious day, and you have made progress in your cultivation. I have inherited the spirits of the ancestors of the Zixiao Sect, and I have fulfilled the responsibility of being a teacher. I will give you the name of Kaijian."
"You have a flamboyant and extroverted personality, but you lack modesty and smoothness. However, goodness is like water, and water benefits all things without fighting. Therefore, today I opened the name of the sword 'Chasing Water'. I hope you cherish it and appreciate it, so that you can realize this virtue."
Gu Xuecun was taken aback.
By water... by water...
Falling flowers are deliberate, flowing water is ruthless... I am not willing to chase flowers into water, but it is a pity that the snow turns into mud?
Is Lu Jueling hinting at him, or is he really thinking too much...
However, under the eyes of everyone at this moment, Gu Xuecun really couldn't ask whether the name Lu Jueling had any other meaning... He couldn't even look up at that person, what kind of expression was on his face at this time.
Gu Xuecun had no choice but to clenched the blade of the sword, forced himself to suppress his emotions, and lowered his head: "Thank you, Master."
At this moment, he was bowing his body with his sword in his hand, and was about to stand up, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the narrow cuffs of the man in black in front of him—the cuffs had slid up a little, revealing a part of the man's forearm. A small section of hideous and strange black lines.
Although the lines only showed a small corner, Gu Xuecun was stunned.
Lu Jueling seemed to realize something, he put that arm behind his back, and said calmly: "Shi Yue, the ceremony is over."
No matter how foolish Gu Xuecun is, he has been the young palace master of Chunhua Palace for more than 100 years after all, and he has basically heard of some secrets that are unknown in the cultivation world.
Seeing the pattern on Lu Jueling's hand at this moment, he was horrified, and no longer cared about the public gaze and the opening ceremony of the sword, he raised his head and looked directly into Lu Jueling's eyes, and said angrily, "Black dragon pattern?? "
Lu Jue Ling looked down at Gu Xuecun quietly, the man's eyes were deep like a long night without stars and moon, and he couldn't tell what emotion it was.
Lu Jueling remained silent.
The last stick of incense in the incense burner was completely burned out, and a handful of incense ash fell into the burner. Standing in front of the gate of the Patriarch's Hall, Master Yuan Ping said in a deep voice, "The ceremony of opening the sword is complete——"
The author has something to say: Thank you for the little angel who voted for me or irrigated the nutrient solution~
Thanks to the little angel who voted [Mine]: He Zuixifeng, 323333181;
Thanks to the little angel who irrigated [nutrient solution]:
Li Lili 1 bottle;
Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
Maybe it was too shocking, Song Zipei always spoke softly and slowly, but he said this sentence a little loudly, which attracted the attention of the disciples passing by.
Gu Xuecun was holding an orange in his hand, and was concentrating on peeling the orange. Hearing this, he smiled and broke off a petal and handed it to him, seemingly casually saying: "Yeah, when I was spitting out last night, I just sensed the opportunity to break through, so I just picked it up." ……What's wrong?"
Song Zipei caught the tangerine in a daze, and said with a gaping mouth, "You...you..."
The speed of your breakthrough is really too appalling.
No... It took more than a month to grow from nothing, from foundation establishment to consecration and integration, this speed, even if it is described as appalling, is already considered a relatively peaceful term.
Because it is unheard of, unseen.
Could it be because he was young and energetic, blindly pursuing quickness and disregarding the stability of his realm?But if you think about it carefully, no matter how young and energetic ordinary people are, it is impossible for ordinary people to jump three big realms from scratch in more than a month. This is not a question of whether they want to, but a question of whether they can.
And when he looked intently, he clearly found that the young man's breath was peaceful and his true essence was solid, and he seemed to have a very solid foundation at first sight.
In Song Zipei's view, Shi Yue's calm and unhurried appearance is not at all like a young boy who has just entered the Taoist practice. Old fritters.
The most frightening thing to think about is that even a genius such as a junior martial uncle took almost four years to go from entering Taoism to the integration period, but although Shi Yue usually seems to be self-motivated and carefree, but...
He is no longer a blockbuster, and if this speed of entry spreads, it may be a blockbuster.
Although Song Zipei was surprised, Gu Xuecun didn't care much.
Whether it was when he was proud or when he was down in his life, Young Palace Master Gu didn't know how to write the word "Zangzhuo". From the very beginning, he had no intention of suppressing his cultivation to deceive others. During the heartbeat period, open the Wind and Thunder Sutra to detoxify Lu Jueling—then hurry up and go back to each house with Lu Jueling, and each find his own mother.
Song Zipei and Gu Xuecun walked towards Wendao Zhai along the bluestone path of the academy, Gu Xuecun saw that the gate of Wendao Zhai was close in front of him, so he simply stuffed half an orange in his hand that he didn't have time to savor petal by petal. into the mouth.
Daoist Jingheng in Wenwenzhai waited for his apprentice for a long time, and this is what he saw——
The two teenagers poked their heads out and found that Master Jingheng had already arrived at Wendao Zhai, and crept in through the door. Song Zipei stood in front, lowered his head and whispered: "...Master."
Daoist Jingheng shook the whisk in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Zipei, what time is it? The opening ceremony of the sword is approaching, but you are becoming more and more lazy!"
Song Zipei was taken aback, and was about to admit his mistake, but the round-faced boy next to him quickly said back: "Master Jingheng's words are so unreasonable, the morning class only starts at [-]:[-], and it's only the end of the hour, and we are not late, uncle Why do you say Senior Brother Song is lazy?"
Seeing that he actually dared to talk back, Master Jing Heng bulged his cheeks from time to time when he spoke, and he was so angry that he said angrily: "I know how to eat and eat all day long!

When Gu Xuecun saw that he was about to pinch his ears when he raised his hand, how could he obey obediently, raised his feet and ran, howling in his mouth while running: "Master! You can't do this! My master has never hit me!"
Master Jingheng pushed Fuchen away from his waist, and said angrily: "I think it's your master who spoiled you and made you lawless. Today I will take good care of him, you stubborn monkey!"
Seeing this situation, Song Zipei was dumbfounded.
Over there, Shen Yuchen was sitting in front of his stone desk, not even looking up at them, holding a small square cloth in his hand, carefully wiping his long silver sword.
Another true disciple of Taixuan Peak even smiled, as if he had never heard of it.
Seeing that Wendao's room was about to jump around, a girl's gentle voice suddenly came from beside him.
"Uncle Jingheng."
Jingheng was taken aback, and suddenly remembered today's business, he coughed dryly, stood back to the original place and said: "Forget it, I think you are young, let me forgive you for now, if you dare to contradict the teacher again next time, I will definitely ask your teacher to send you off." You go to the mountain gate and strike the clock for a month."
"I have another important thing to tell you today." Master Jing Heng pulled out his whisk and took a step to the side.
Only then did Gu Xuecun realize that standing behind him was a slender and slender young girl in white clothes. The girl wore a small and unique machete on her waist, and Gu Xuecun felt a little familiar with her appearance.
This young girl is the one who blocked Daoist Jingheng just now.
Master Jing Heng said: "This is the disciple of your master master, you should call her Senior Sister Yue Yin. She has been retreating in the back mountain of Yuanping Peak all the year round, and she rarely sees people. Two months later, she will go to Beihai with you , so even though she is an inner sect disciple, she is also having morning classes with you at Wendao Zhai these few days, so that she can get acquainted with you first."
Gu Xuecun seemed to think of something, looked around, and said strangely: "By the way, where is Senior Brother Yue?"
Master Jingheng said: "Mian'er has already gone down the mountain to travel with the permission of the senior brother in charge."
Only then did Gu Xuecun say "oh", he stared at Yue Yin in a daze, as if thinking of something, he said with some doubts: "Why do I think Senior Sister Yue..."
Yue Yin seemed to see what he was thinking, and said softly: "That's right, brother Yue Mian and I are both from the Yue family in Gusu, he is my cousin."
After she finished speaking, she smiled slightly at Gu Xuecun and Song Zipei, her expression was frank and upright, quite heroic, but her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, with a kind of graceful and charming style unique to Jiangnan daughters.

When Gu Xuecun saw his expression, his heart instantly became clear.
After the morning class, Gu Xuecun stood up and walked in front of him, he laughed and said, "Brother Song, are you..."
After getting along with him these days, Song Zipei didn't know what was going on in Gu Xuecun's mind all day long, so he said quickly: "Ah Yue, please don't talk nonsense, my...the girl doesn't know us at all."
Seeing his overreacting appearance, Gu Xuecun felt happy, and squinted at Song Zipei with a half-smile on his face, and said, "I haven't said anything, and I haven't mentioned which girl it is, why did you take the seat first?"

Jingheng didn't care about his appearance, which was neither big nor small, but said quietly: "You follow me."
Gu Xuecun panicked, thinking to himself, did Lu Juiling tell his seniors his real identity?
No, no, Lu Jueling doesn't seem to want him to leave the Zixiao faction now, so he probably won't do so.
He followed Daoist Jingheng out of the gate of Wendao Zhai, and the two stood under an old locust tree.
Daoist Jing Heng took his hand, and slammed it on the pulse gate. After a while, looking at him with some doubts in his eyes, he said: "When... did you break through to the fusion stage?"
Gu Xuecun replied honestly: "Last night."
Real person Jingheng asked again: "When did you break through to the consecration?"

Master Jingheng seemed to have thought of something, walked around anxiously for two steps, and murmured: "No...no..."
After a long while, he suddenly turned his head again, stared at Gu Xuecun with gloomy eyes and said coldly: "Who is your Excellency, and why did you let such a cover-up trick into the Zixiao faction? What is your plan?"

"Has your master ever known about your breakthrough?"
Gu Xuecun felt relieved, secretly thinking that his psychological quality is so deceitful?
"No, I just broke through last night."
In the end, Master Jingheng just took a deep look at him and let him go.
The day of the sword opening ceremony will soon arrive.
In the past month, Gu Xuecun has been avoiding Lu Jueling on purpose. After the morning class, he can go back as late as he can. He pretends that Lu Jueling’s black face is not seen. As soon as he goes back, he starts to meditate and breathe out. He talks to him almost every day. The time for real communication and contact should not exceed half an hour.
And Lu Jueling's attitude is really puzzling, how aggressive he was before, how cold and indifferent he has been this month.
Gu Xue thought to herself, maybe it's still the words that day, who wouldn't be chilled after hearing that, is he an exception to Tianjue Daoist?
……
Gu Xuecun shook his head, thinking what he was feeling lost in, wasn't that what he was thinking.
But today's sword opening ceremony, he and Lu Jueling really couldn't escape.
The small square in the apse of Zixiao Palace was as grandly furnished as it looked on the day of his apprenticeship ceremony. The difference was that he was not the only protagonist this time.
In addition to him, Song Zipei, and Yue Yin, seven or eight inner sect disciples also participated in the opening ceremony of the sword this year and went to the Kunyuan Secret Realm for trials.
Seeing Song Zipei holding his sword in a trance, Gu Xuecun smiled and said, "Brother Song, I don't think you like swords much, why do you have to be a sword repairer?"

Just as he was saying this, the sword in his hand suddenly buzzed again.
Gu Xuecun said solemnly: "Look, it's really angry."
Song Zipei also looked at his sword in a puzzled way, and said, "Maybe it's because the water and spiritual energy here is too abundant, that's why it's uncomfortable. In the past, it would be the same when it was by the river..."
But Zixiao Palace is located on the sunny side of the mountain, the sun is scorching, let alone Shui Lingyuan at this moment, Gu Xuecun's lips are a little dry from the sun.
While the two were chatting, a bell rang at the gate of the mountain.
The hour has come.
Gu Xuecun has been in the Zixiao School for such a long time, and at this moment he finally feels a little weird and his conscience is a little uneasy.
He followed Song Zipei, looking at the seven or eight young disciples who were talking and laughing at Yanyan, he felt like a strange uncle who had sneaked into the team of shuttlecock kickers.
Although the Sword Unveiling Ceremony is nominally a ceremony where the master bestows names on the natal instruments and sabers of these junior disciples, it is actually also their coming-of-age ceremony.
There is a huge incense burner in front of the patriarch's hall, three sticks of thick sticks of incense sticks are inserted in it, and the smoke slowly floats out.
The bell in the hall struck nine times regularly, Yuan Ping real person kowtowed to the portraits of the two patriarchs, Gu Xuecun was far away, and couldn't hear what he said clearly.
After a while, the ceremony finally officially started.
The first few are inner disciples, Gu Xuecun and Song Zipei, as personal heirs, may need to be the finale, so they are at the bottom.
Among the several inner disciples in front, the first one was Yue Yin. Gu Xuecun saw her kneeling in front of the Patriarch Hall holding the round scimitar, facing Lord Ding Xiao and Sword Lord Ziping with a pious expression. His portrait kowtowed three more times.
Seeing this, Gu Xuecun smacked his tongue and said, "Why do you have to kowtow for everything? Let's kowtow after the head master kowtows? Just kowtow for apprentices, and kowtow for swords?"
As he spoke, he turned to look at Song Zipei, but he saw that his eyes were staring straight at something. Gu Xuecun followed his gaze and saw Yue Yin's soft and graceful side face.
Gu Xuecun: "..."
Gu Xuecun: "Hey, Brother Song, you're back to your senses."
Coincidentally, the sword in Song Zipei's arms suddenly buzzed at this moment, and he was taken aback for a moment, looked down at his sword, and then looked back at Gu Xuecun.
Gu Xuecun said: "When you saw my women's clothing, you also looked like this, and you said you were not interested in me?"
Song Zipei retorted softly: "But you are not a woman after all..."
Gu Xuecun: "..."
"You haven't answered me yet, do you have to kowtow even when you open your sword?"
Song Zipei shook his head and said: "Of course not. There has never been such a rule. It's just that some disciples have admired the reputation of the two masters for a long time, so they do it spontaneously. It only needs me and the master to be present to open the sword."
Gu Xuecun let out an "oh", and his eyes instinctively drifted to Lu Jueling, who was the first to observe the ceremony.
I don't know if it's a coincidence, just as Gu Xuecun cast his gaze over, he happened to find that Lu Jueling was also looking at him.
The man's light brown eyes are like a bottomless pool.
Gu Xuecun was taken aback for a moment, and quickly lowered his head to avoid staring at him.
However, it didn't take long for him to feel annoyed in his heart, thinking to himself, what are you afraid of?He didn't know who he was competing with, and forced himself to look up at him again.
But when he raised his head again, he found that the real Tianjue over there had turned his gaze away and stopped looking at him.
Gu Xuecun felt lost in her heart.
The sword opening ceremony of the seven inner disciples was all over, and it was Song Zipei's turn at this moment, but Gu Xuecun didn't even bother to watch Song Zipei's sword opening ceremony over there. That incomprehensible look.
Song Zipei came back holding the sword, looking very happy.
Gu Xuecun shook the sword in his hand and walked to the small square in front of the Patriarch Hall.
Daoist Tianjue was already waiting there.
Gu Xuecun walked up to him bravely, imitating the appearance of Song Zipei and a few inner disciples just now, holding the sword and bowing his head, and said dryly: "Disciple Shi Yue, respectfully ask Master to open the sword."
Lu Jueling said lightly: "This is an auspicious day, and you have made progress in your cultivation. I have inherited the spirits of the ancestors of the Zixiao Sect, and I have fulfilled the responsibility of being a teacher. I will give you the name of Kaijian."
"You have a flamboyant and extroverted personality, but you lack modesty and smoothness. However, goodness is like water, and water benefits all things without fighting. Therefore, today I opened the name of the sword 'Chasing Water'. I hope you cherish it and appreciate it, so that you can realize this virtue."
Gu Xuecun was taken aback.
By water... by water...
Falling flowers are deliberate, flowing water is ruthless... I am not willing to chase flowers into water, but it is a pity that the snow turns into mud?
Is Lu Jueling hinting at him, or is he really thinking too much...
However, under the eyes of everyone at this moment, Gu Xuecun really couldn't ask whether the name Lu Jueling had any other meaning... He couldn't even look up at that person, what kind of expression was on his face at this time.
Gu Xuecun had no choice but to clenched the blade of the sword, forced himself to suppress his emotions, and lowered his head: "Thank you, Master."
At this moment, he was bowing his body with his sword in his hand, and was about to stand up, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the narrow cuffs of the man in black in front of him—the cuffs had slid up a little, revealing a part of the man's forearm. A small section of hideous and strange black lines.
Although the lines only showed a small corner, Gu Xuecun was stunned.
Lu Jueling seemed to realize something, he put that arm behind his back, and said calmly: "Shi Yue, the ceremony is over."
No matter how foolish Gu Xuecun is, he has been the young palace master of Chunhua Palace for more than 100 years after all, and he has basically heard of some secrets that are unknown in the cultivation world.
Seeing the pattern on Lu Jueling's hand at this moment, he was horrified, and no longer cared about the public gaze and the opening ceremony of the sword, he raised his head and looked directly into Lu Jueling's eyes, and said angrily, "Black dragon pattern?? "
Lu Jue Ling looked down at Gu Xuecun quietly, the man's eyes were deep like a long night without stars and moon, and he couldn't tell what emotion it was.
Lu Jueling remained silent.
The last stick of incense in the incense burner was completely burned out, and a handful of incense ash fell into the burner. Standing in front of the gate of the Patriarch's Hall, Master Yuan Ping said in a deep voice, "The ceremony of opening the sword is complete——"
