Judge, please respect yourself

The next day, Zhuang Hua took over the post. It was a village near Yaoxu, not far from Wanlan. The village was in a state of desolation, because the land was not suitable for growing crops, and there was little food. Countless people died of starvation. , full stomach is still a problem, where is there room to bury the dead beautifully, those who died were just buried shallowly on the side of the road at random, and the inner room is small, it has all the characteristics of rotten bone burial, and it is natural for wraiths to appear of.

Sure enough, after night fell, black shadows appeared in the field one after another, Zhuang Hua raised his sword to attack, suddenly remembered what Xi Ziyi said last night, he tried to transport Qi to heaven, only felt that the sword seemed to be very light Young man, he swung his sword down, driving him back a few feet with one blow.

Assuming it was feasible, he took out the yellow talisman he had prepared in his pouch and attached it to the blade, and then struck again as he did just now, the wraith immediately stopped moving, and then covered it with a binding soul, just like a ghost easily caught.

However, the true energy in his body seemed to be relatively full, and Zhuang Hua used his sword to purify the ghosts without feeling tired. However, when he was about to take back the resentful spirits in front of him one by one, a large red brush came from the sky and drew a circle on the ground of the resentful spirits. , the wraith turned into green smoke and dissipated.

Immediately, the red pen flew back to someone's hand, and that person walked towards Zhuang Hua, "All the souls here belong to me, you can go elsewhere."

"Why?"

"I'll come first."

"I didn't see you when I collected the ghosts just now, when did you come first?"

"I, I just fell asleep in the field."

"Strong words make sense."

Zhuang Hua didn't intend to pay attention to this rogue ghost, and opened the Soul Binding to collect the resentful spirit, but was knocked down by someone, Zhuang Hua didn't give up, after all, it was a matter of whether he could stay in Wanlan, so he fought against that The people wrestled together, and the two of them rolled and fought in the ground for a long time, with mud all over their bodies and faces, until they lost all strength, then they stopped, and both of them lay on the ground.

"You kid, you look gentle, but you are actually really barbaric."

"I will not give up this wraith to anyone."

"Why are you so persistent? Could it be Wan Lan's disciple?"

"Yes."

Only those who have formally entered Wan Lan can wear martial arts clothes, so these new disciples have no special signs, and it is reasonable not to be recognized by others.

Because of the fight with that person, the energy that was still abundant has been exhausted, Zhuang Hua knelt up and clasped his fists at the troublemaker, "These spirits are very important to me, so please ask the young man to give me some help." I."

Seeing Zhuang Hua's attitude, the man stood up after a long silence and wiped the dirt on his face, "It's really uncomfortable to be covered in mud, forget it, forget it, I'll give you all the wraiths, I'd better go back to the inn to take a bath .”

The man waved his hand and left towards the outside of the village, Zhuang Hua quickly caught up with him and stopped him, "I'm under Zhuang Hua, I haven't asked the young hero's name yet, if I enter Wanlan someday, I will come to thank you."

"I am home all over the world, and it is rare to see each other in the future. Just remember that my name is Luan Mu. When you enter Wanlan, just thank you from the bottom of my heart."

If they couldn't receive the ghosts, Luan Mu returned angrily, but sending them to Wan Lan's disciples was also a super-purification, but it was just to let those ghosts return to the ghost world later, it doesn't matter.

But although he said that it was hard to meet each other, he didn't know why there were always many resentful spirits around Yao Xu during those days, and the two always met and fought each other. Zhuang Hua came back and just chatted with him. At first, the two of them didn't know each other very well. Gradually getting acquainted, the two knew each other as friends tacitly, but Zhuang Hua's conversation unconsciously became inseparable from Xi Ziyi.

And since the martial arts training ground taught him luck, Xi Ziyi also taught him new things almost every once in a while. Zhuang Hua comprehended quickly and made great progress in cultivation. After eight months in Wanlan, he has already caught Gathered ninety resentful spirits, and gradually became the best among the hundred disciples.

Sometimes Luan Muppets would bring a jar of wine on credit, and invite Zhuang Hua to have a drink together in the bamboo forest not far from Wanlan. Zhuang Hua mentioned his senior brother as usual, and Luan Mu got a little bored hearing that, so he put down his wine glass.

"Although I have heard of this person named Xi Ziyi more or less, but I keep hearing you mention it, and my ears are almost callused. I really want to see what this person looks like."

"Who wants to see me?"

Luan Mu turned his head and saw a man in emerald green clothes walking towards the two of them. The man was slender, with fresh and handsome eyes. Zhuang Hua looked in surprise, "Senior brother, why are you here?"

"I heard from other little disciples that you came to this bamboo forest, so I came here to look for you. I didn't want to hear you talking about me behind my back."

"If you really heard it, you wouldn't say that. Zhuang Hua's mouth will itch if he doesn't praise you one day."

"Luan Mu, if you talk nonsense again, I won't help you pay for the wine on credit."

"Young Master Zhuang Hua, why are you doing this? It's just a joke, why are you angry?"

"You seem to be very familiar with this person, why don't you introduce me?"

"It's not a good person, it's just a rascal I met."

Luan Mu showed an extremely dissatisfied expression on the side, but when he thought that he hadn't paid for the drink, he swallowed the rebuttal abruptly, his cheeks flushed.

This funny appearance made Zhuang Hua laugh, he was used to bickering with Luan Mu, this was the first time he had won against that person, and he was in a particularly good mood.

"By the way, didn't senior brother come to me for something? What's the matter?"

"Uncle Zhi is looking for you, go back quickly."

Unexpectedly, it would be the suzerain looking for him, Zhuang Hua smiled slightly, but immediately became serious, put down the wine cup and said goodbye to Luan Mu, then followed Xi Ziyi to Wan Lan.

"Who is that person?"

"His name is Luan Mu, and he is a cultivator."

"How did you meet him?"

"We got to know each other by coincidence when collecting ghosts."

"You seem to be quite close to him."

"He has a straightforward personality and talks about everything. Maybe he has gotten a bit of breath after getting along with him for a long time."

"Then I, as your senior brother, why don't you be so close to me alone?"

Xi Ziyi, who was walking ahead, suddenly stopped and turned to look at Zhuang Hua. Looking at those blue eyes, Zhuang Hua was sometimes understanding and sometimes confused.

He has always been respectful and respectful to Xi Ziyi, and the person who thought he was far away is actually guiding him to practice, besides, this person is kind, he regards him as the god in his heart, he dare not blaspheme the god, so he maintains it Clear boundaries, dare not cross easily.

Seeing Zhuang Hua bowing his head in silence, Xi Ziyi continued walking without waiting for his answer.

When he first entered Wanlan eight months ago, Zhuang Hua never thought that he would meet and talk with the suzerain alone. Among a hundred people, he was very ordinary, but now the suzerain personally summoned him, although he just told him a few words After a few words, Zhuang Hua came out.

Xi Ziyi waited at the side all the time, seeing the unconcealable joy on his face, "Uncle Master asked you to be his disciple?"

"How would senior brother know?"

"What can you hide from me?"

"The suzerain said that after I have captured a hundred resentful spirits, he will immediately accept me as his disciple."

"Master Uncle has always had high requirements for the disciples who sit down, and your ability to get into his eyes is also a proof of your strength."

"It's not thanks to the guidance of the senior brother."

"Me? I'm just a little bit, after all, it's up to you."

In order to celebrate this great event, Zhuang Hua called Luan Mu, and together with Xi Ziyi, the three of them drank and had a lot of fun. After that, the days passed day after day like this. From time to time, when collecting ghosts, the three of them would meet together, They chatted and laughed, and they lived comfortably. Zhuang Hua originally thought that he could continue this kind of time after officially becoming Wan Lan's disciple, but later, because of a sudden change, things didn't go as he thought go down.

One hundred ghosts don't come within a month, and Zhuang Hua has collected them all.

On the day of the official entrance ceremony, Zhuang Hua got the emerald green gauze thin gown that he had envied for a long time as he wished. On that day, Xi Ziyi personally put it on for him. Zhuang Hua couldn't hide his excitement. In the upper seat, Zhuang Hua and nine other disciples knelt down in the hall together. Cong Zhi held rootless water in one hand and sprinkled it on everyone's forehead with a willow branch in the other, hoping to get rid of distracting thoughts and become pure-hearted. want.

According to the rules of Wanlan, the new disciples should tie their hair with the headbands of the senior disciples who worship their masters, and give it to their parents, and the brothers of the same school will tie it up, hoping that they can live in harmony and treat each other like this loved ones.

The rest of the disciples had already stepped forward to tie the little disciple's hair, and Jinghua also passed the green ribbon in his hand to Xi Ziyi, "Zi Yi, go and tie Zhuang Hua's hair."

Hearing this name, Xi Ziyi was quite surprised, he glanced at Zhuang Hua and then at Congzhi.

"Shouldn't Zhuang Hua be sent by his disciples?"

"It's a coincidence that I chose Zhuang Hua with Congzhi. I called Zhuang Hua to discuss it two months ago. He chose to be my seat. Didn't he tell you?"

"……No."

"It's okay, I don't like to recruit more disciples. I want you to do hard work for me alone. With Zhuang Hua here in the future, you can relax a little."

"Yes." Xi Ziyi responded, but there was a trace of complicated emotions in his eyes, no one knew what he was thinking, he took the green ribbon and walked towards Zhuang Hua, he knelt on the ground and looked at himself with a smile, Xi Ziyi went around to him without a word Behind her, stroked his soft hair.

"Did you lie to me that day?"

"I want to surprise my brother."

"Why do you decide on your own?"

"what?"

The person behind did not control his strength and pulled Zhuang Hua's hair, causing him some pain. Xi Ziyi didn't answer, but the tone of questioning just now seemed a bit forbearing. He wrapped the blue ribbon in his hand around the three thousand strands of hair, After all was bundled up, he didn't look at Zhuang Hua any more, and walked straight back to the seat of the master.
