When the devil respects life as a waste
Chapter 67 Remembrance Killing 1
Shen Zhengze obediently followed suit, and in the middle of the night, his mood became much more stable and his mood became peaceful.
He was overwhelmed with worry, coupled with the demons in his heart, he was already very tired, being held in Xie Lingjun's arms, even though he was in a cold room, his body felt warm.In this case, he even dozed off.The heart formula circulated automatically in his body, he couldn't stand it anymore, and finally fell into a deep sleep.
Xie Lingjun saw that Shen Zhengze had calmed down, and all the magic patterns on the opponent's body retreated, so he had time to start recalling.
Before, he felt that the scene of him hugging Shen Zhengze was very familiar, as if he had done this action before, thinking back slowly, he finally remembered it.
At that time, Shen Zhengze had just been apprenticed to a teacher not long ago, not even a hundred years old, and he had just entered the Realm of Self, and his cultivation base was very low.
·
past life.
"Thank you, Senior Brother." Shen Zhengze's face remained at the age of 20, and it has not changed a bit for thousands of years.
Xie Lingjun retracted his sword and silently stared at this junior who was two or three hundred years younger than him.
Since this junior apprentice became a teacher, the master has become more and more strict with him, but he treats this junior like a spring breeze.The comparison between the two made Xie Lingjun, who had never had any emotional fluctuations, feel abnormal and surprised.
Xie Lingjun can't say he likes or dislikes this little junior who is only a hundred years old, it's just mediocre.But he could feel that this little junior was a little bit hostile to him, and a little bit showing off.
"Master let you practice sword again today?" Shen Zhengze sat on the long sword, the breeze blew his clothes, and his hair was blown with the wind.
Xie Lingjun nodded slightly and did not speak.
Shen Zhengze seemed to think that Xie Lingwei was dull and boring, so he reached out to pat his mouth and yawned.He went down with the sword, and finally stopped in front of Xie Lingjun, retracted the sword, and his green shirt stood up.
Shen Zhengze smiled, exuberant, with a relaxed and pleasant tone: "Master took me to the Poyang Lake to see the scenery today, and he said that he would take me into the Beiming School in the future, and pay homage to the great power of the Beiming School together."
Xie Lingjun still nodded and remained silent.
The performance requires the cooperation of the audience. Since Shen Zhengze met such an uncooperative audience as Xie Lingjun, he felt very boring.This kind of boredom was not only because of Xie Lingjun, but also because Shen Zhengze felt that he was underestimated. Nothing he did could escape the eyes of Xie Lingjun, who was overlooking his clumsy performance from above.
Before Shen Zhengze came, he was clearly thinking about Xie Lingjun's extremely beautiful face, but when he saw Xie Lingjun himself, he couldn't get angry.
"I'm thinking of you," Shen Zhengze said in his heart, "but you don't seem to take me seriously. Doesn't it seem that I'm very earnest, like I'm rushing to make a fool of myself."
Seeing that Shen Zhengze was in a daze, Xie Lingjun asked coldly, "Do you have anything else to say, Junior Brother?"
"Are you an incomprehensible piece of wood?" Shen Zhengze muttered.
Xie Lingjun lowered his eyes indifferently, and asked, "Why do you say 'incomprehensible style'?"
When Shen Zhengze was asked this question, he realized that he had made a slip of the tongue.Saying the four words "incomprehensible style" and using it to judge Xie Lingjun, it seems that he is comparing himself to the intentional King Xiang and Xie Lingjun to the unintentional goddess.
Shen Zhengze quickly explained: "No, I just feel that Senior Brother Xie has said too little, and I don't even know what you are thinking."
Xie Lingjun frowned almost invisibly, puzzled: "Why do you want to know what I'm thinking?"
Shen Zhengze was also taken aback by the question, he hesitated and couldn't answer.
Yes, why did he try to figure out Xie Lingjun's thoughts, to know what the other party was thinking?What does it matter to him?Even Shen Zhengze himself couldn't figure out this question.
Xie Ling didn't understand Shen Zhengze.He always does his own way, and rarely considers others, let alone speculates on others' thoughts.
At this time, Xie Lingjun was still not impatient, but asked in a cold voice again: "Junior Brother Shen, do you have anything else to say?"
"Yes!" Shen Zhengze reacted, and quickly said, "Tomorrow is the day when Elder Ji releases the mission. I want to ask Senior Brother Xie, you..."
"Me? Me what?" Seeing that Shen Zhengze was halfway through his words, Xie Lingjun suddenly stopped and asked.
Shen Zhengze blinked, raised his head slightly, and said with a smile: "I just want to ask my brother, you used to walk with Liu Shaoqing. But now Liu Shaoqing has just built his foundation, and he is three realms behind his senior brother. And I am two realms away from my senior brother. , is more suitable than Liu Shaoqing, what do you think?"
It was the first time for Shen Zhengze to do such a thing as prying someone into a corner. He persuaded himself: Xie Lingji is the hero, the son of luck, and he has meat to eat with him.
Thinking of this, he didn't feel sorry for Liu Shaoqing anymore.Anyway, Liu Shaoqing followed Xie Lingjun just to gain experience, but at least he could give Xie Lingjun a little help so as not to hold him back.
Upon hearing this, Xie Lingjun looked at Shen Zhengze with a half-smile.
Shen Zhengze was at a loss.
It was this kind of look again, making people unable to understand what Xie Lingjun was thinking, whether he was laughing at him for overreaching himself, or expressing contempt calmly... The courage Shen Zhengze had finally accumulated was all under these eyes Fall apart.
That's right, he clearly knows how to speak and how to do things, but in front of Xie Lingjun, he always says wrong things and does wrong things.Compared with the obedient and sensible Liu Shaoqing, he seems to have nothing worthy of Xie Lingjun's attention.They also brought Fei Tuo oil bottles, he was brought along, and Liu Shaoqing was also brought along, why didn't Xie Lingjun choose an obedient one?
Thinking of this, Shen Zhengze couldn't help feeling a little discouraged.
Xie Lingjun was thoughtful, and after a while, he asked, "Is that all?"
Shen Zhengze was out of breath from being watched, and felt that being questioned like this, he should say more to increase his competitiveness, but he was afraid of saying too much and making mistakes.
"That's it." Shen Zhengze said finally.
Xie Lingjun nodded: "I see."
Shen Zhengze swallowed unconsciously, Xie Lingjun's attitude made him very conflicted.The other party seemed to give him the illusion that he could continue, but he didn't actually say anything.
Shen Zhengze couldn't bear such an unclear response, so he had to ask again: "You know, what does this mean? Brother Xie, are you willing to walk with me?"
Xie Lingjun thought for a while and said, "I'm very worried about Liu Shaoqing."
When Shen Zhengze heard these words, it was difficult to distinguish the feeling in his heart.
At that time, he didn't know that this feeling was called jealousy, but he just felt that this short sentence, each and every word hit the tip of his heart, causing him a dull pain.Not to think about it carefully, when he thought of this sentence, he felt another burst of sourness swept over him.
Shen Zhengze took a deep breath, stretched his eyebrows, forced a smile and said: "It turns out that senior brother still prefers to go with Liu Shaoqing, so I'll go find someone else, and I have to solve my worries."
"No." Xie Lingjun said slowly, "This is not my original intention. You haven't listened to my words, so let me finish."
Shen Zhengze's heart sank just now, and with these words, he hung up again.Above his beating heart was a sharp sword and a sharp knife. The sharp knife could pierce his heart at any time, but he couldn't dodge it in time; or in other words, he was completely powerless against Xie Lingjun's sharp words dodge.
Xie Lingjun's next sentence was to agree, or to decline.
It only takes one sentence to sentence him.
Xie Lingjun's thin lips parted and closed, and the frightening words leaked out of his mouth lightly: "Liu Shaoqing is under the discipline elder Zheng Sinan, and has a very bad relationship with his seniors, and is often bullied/humiliated. They rescued each other, but unexpectedly this made Liu Shaoqing offend others even more. Since then, Liu Shaoqing has no senior brother to lead him along.
"I pity him for his young age and low level of cultivation. The task system of Qingyang Pavilion is related to the once-in-a-century exams for his disciples. If he ranks low after a hundred years, he will be expelled from Qingyang Pavilion."
The task of Qingyang Pavilion was issued by the elder Ji Yanran, and then all the elders rated it, and finally the ranking was calculated by Zheng Sinan.The whole process is very strict, just to prevent injustice.
Tasks are difficult and easy, and young disciples with low cultivation bases are rarely as gifted as Xie Lingjun and Shen Zhengze. It is difficult to achieve it in a hundred years, let alone entering the realm of self, even in the late stage of foundation establishment.The difficulty of the tasks they can complete can be imagined. After a hundred years of accumulation, they will naturally rank at the bottom, and they will be expelled from Qingyang Pavilion in the end.
Therefore, young disciples usually make friends with senior brothers with high cultivation and travel together.In order to avoid the situation where the score is taken away, the Qingyang Pavilion allows the seniors to bring one junior at most.
In Liu Shaoqing's situation, only Xie Lingjun was willing to take him with him. If even Xie Lingjun gave up on him, then the only thing waiting for him was to leave Qingyang Pavilion.
Xie Lingjun said while Shen Zhengze summed up in his mind, and finally came to the above conclusion.
Shen Zhengze seldom listened to Xie Lingjun's long speeches, but this time the other party said such a long speech, it was because of Liu Shaoqing... His brows that had been stretched just now frowned as he listened.
Shen Zhengze sighed in his heart.Although he still felt that Xie Lingjun was a cardboard person, after hearing these words, even if the other party was so beautiful that it was unreal, there was still a bit of a worldly atmosphere.
He thought that a high-ranking chief disciple like Xie Lingjun, the Hufa Xie whom everyone admired, would not know about all these twists and turns, but the other party not only knew, but also silently helped Liu Shaoqing...
Shen Zhengze thought to himself: You are so good, I almost can't bear to steal your luck.
Xie Lingjun's words continued: "I helped him a lot in the hundred years before you came here. If he needed me in the first hundred years, now he also has the cultivation base in the late stage of foundation establishment, which is far better than many disciples who have just apprenticed. I will help him again. He can't justify it, it's unfair to other people."
When Shen Zhengze heard this, the sharp sword hanging in his heart finally disappeared without a trace.
Xie Lingjun said: "You are fine. I am willing to walk with you."
Shen Zhengze almost wondered if he was hallucinating, otherwise how could he hear Xie Lingjun praise him. The three words "You are fine" made Shen Zhengze's heart swell up.
He thought to himself: This is the hero, right!It's the male protagonist that no one can compare to, the male protagonist that no one can look up to, right?He praised me!I knew that I was a genius of the sky, and I was accepted as an apprentice by the master of Qingyang Pavilion as soon as I approached the Changbai Mountains.I still have a photographic memory, how could someone not like such a talent.
Shen Zhengze was overjoyed, his worries about gains and losses, inferiority complex and doubts all disappeared with this sentence.
As for Xie Lingjun saying "you're fine", it's not that he really has any affection for Shen Zhengze, but based on the comparison, he thinks that Shen Zhengze is tougher and has a sword heart than Liu Shaoqing.
If a person stands on a high place for a long time, he will get used to being condescending.This is the kind of pity he has for Liu Shaoqing.
In fact, Xie Lingjun was very lonely, and Shen Zhengze was a rare person who could match him in talent.Xie Lingjun was warlike, so he couldn't help but want to train Shen Zhengze.
This trip together may be an excellent opportunity to test each other's potential.
·
The next day, stay at the top of Changliu Peak.
Ji Yanran held layers of scrolls in his left hand, and seeing that the time was almost approaching noon, he asked loudly, "Is everyone here?"
Everyone responded one after another: "It's all here."
Ji Yanran didn't bother to count people, so she just pretended to be here, and she didn't plan to make up the task if she didn't come.
"Since everything is complete, let's issue the mission directly. There are 65 missions this time. I think everyone knows that there were hundreds of missions in the last ten years. Why are there only dozens of missions left this time?" It's..."
Ji Yanran paused for a moment, and then said: "Because of the hundred-year school examination not long ago, hundreds of people were eliminated. All of you here are gold left by the big waves washing the sand. You can learn like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will fall back. Don't relax. Otherwise, it will be too late to regret when it comes to the next hundred years of school exams."
Sticks are given, followed by compote.
"But you are all direct disciples of the apprentice now. As long as you do more tasks, the higher the score, the higher the ranking on the merit list. There is one master of the Qingyang Pavilion, seven elders, nine guardians, and thirteen deacons. That is to say, as long as you rank in the top [-], you can get the position of deacon; Elder Lie."
Ji Yanran pointed to the merit list buzzing above his head, and said, "Did you see it? My name, Ji Yanran, is on the sixth place. And the eighth place is Li Bie. As long as you squeeze him out, you will be able take his place."
At this time, a disciple asked: "Then Xie Dharma Protector is ranked third, and he also has a cultivation level of the Vientiane Realm, so why is he still a Dharma Protector?"
"Good question!" Ji Yanran smiled cleverly, "I have to ask Protector Xie to answer this question in person. However, Protector Xie is a cold person, so I'm afraid he won't open his mouth, so let me answer it for you."
Xie Ling stood where he was, without saying a word.
Ji Yanran explained: "Because Hufa Xie loves swords, he practices swords all day long, and finds people to fight when he has nothing to do. The job of an elder requires a lot of time and energy. Hufa Xie feels that the position is outside the body, and only elders The sword can accompany you, so it ranks third, but it is still the job of protecting the Dharma."
After finishing speaking, she changed the subject: "Okay, let's not gossip. Next, number 65, third-level B, the specific content is... Is anyone willing to accept the task?"
I don't know if all the disciples dislike the low rating of this task, or feel that the task is not beneficial, anyway, no one is willing to accept the task.
"No one wants it? Then follow the old rules." Ji Yanran raised her eyebrows, smiled, threw the scroll in her hand into the air, drew her sword casually, and smashed the scroll into powder.
"Next, the number 64 is still the third grade B, the specific content..."
The missions were issued one by one, and soon there were only a dozen or so scrolls left in Ji Yanran's hand.
"No. thirteen, first-level C, etc. The specific content is to develop a secret realm, which is located in the mulberry field of the far east sea. This secret realm was first discovered by Qingyang Pavilion and marked. After initial detection by Li Bie, it should be a natural place. The formed cave is not too difficult. Who is willing to accept it?"
Ji Yanran took out a scroll of secret realm development from among the many tasks, and raised her hand to ask.
There were only nine people left at the scene, except for Shen Zhengze and Liu Shaoqing, the rest of them had at least the cultivation base of the World Viewing Realm.Developing a secret realm is thankless, and there is nothing particularly attractive about a cave that was abandoned by the elder Li Bie.
Seeing that Xie Lingjun hadn't moved yet, Shen Zhengze became a little anxious.
According to the pit text "Legend of the Three Realms", Xie Lingjun had to accept the mission, and then enter the secret realm with Liu Shaoqing, find a hidden cave, and harvest a lot of natural materials and earthly treasures.
But Xie Lingjun's calmness now seemed to be beyond Shen Zhengze's expectation.
Xie Lingjun originally accepted this mission because of Liu Shaoqing's consideration; but now that he plans to go with Shen Zhengze, he is naturally ready to choose a first-class mission.
Ji Yanran didn't seem to be surprised, he just waved the scroll in his hand, and finally asked: "Is there really no one going to visit the secret realm? Although this secret realm is not rated top-notch, it is located in the far east, where the four seasons Like spring, spending ten years there and enjoying the beautiful scenery is also a pleasure.”
Ji Yanran's rhetoric obviously couldn't impress the rest of the people.
"Is that so?" Ji Yanran felt a little regretful, after all, she still liked the environment in the extreme east.But she thought about it, after all, the task was for ranking, or for chance, and she herself couldn't accept the task just because she liked a place.
It's a pity, it's a pity, but she didn't show mercy at all when she destroyed the mission scroll.
"Elder Ji wait a minute!" Shen Zhengze had no choice but to speak by himself, "Disciple Shen Zhengze is very interested in this task and wants to accept it."
Xie Lingjun was quite surprised. He thought that Shen Zhengze was with him to obtain a first-class mission, but he didn't expect that the other party was willing to accept a secret mission that no one wanted.
Ji Yanran smiled enthusiastically at Shen Zhengze, and threw the scroll in his hand: "Accept it! This task is still very good, you have a vision."
Shen Zhengze took over the mission scroll with lingering fears in his heart.
This unrated top task was almost destroyed!
After accepting the task, Shen Zhengze and Xie Lingjun held the sword together, preparing to leave for the far east.
"Big brother!" Liu Shaoqing shouted.
Xie Lingjun heard the words, and finally remembered that there was another person, put his sword on the ground, and looked at Liu Shaoqing silently.
"Eldest brother," Liu Shaoqing had a bad feeling in his heart, "You...are you not ready to accept the mission?"
Xie Lingjun replied indifferently: "It has been connected."
The uneasiness in Liu Shaoqing's heart became more and more intense, and her tone was forced: "What mission did you... take?"
"Number thirteen, first-class C-level exploration of the secret realm." Xie Lingjun said.
Liu Shaoqing heard the words, what else do you not understand?
The task numbered thirteen, level one C, was the one that was almost destroyed by Ji Yanran just now, but was taken over by Shen Zhengze.Xie Lingjun's mission is also the same, which means that Xie Lingjun will go with Shen Zhengze, and Liu Shaoqing has nothing to do without him.
Liu Shaoqing felt great pain in his heart, very unwilling, and extremely wronged: "Isn't this mission belonged to Shen Zhengze?"
Xie Lingjun lowered his eyes, looked at Liu Shaoqing coldly, and said: "It belongs to Junior Brother Shen, and it belongs to me."
Hearing this, Liu Shaoqing was not only aggrieved, but also resentful, and immediately asked: "Brother, what do you mean! What does it mean that this task belongs to both Shen Zhengze and you? I don't understand! We haven't always been together Why? Why did you-"
His words were interrupted by Shen Zhengze.
Seeing Liu Shaoqing's situation, Shen Zhengze secretly felt joy in his heart.Aside from being happy, he hated Liu Shaoqing's incompetent appearance very much, so he immediately defended Xie Lingjun: "You have been walking together, did you agree before?"
Liu Shaoqing was choked up when he heard the words, and said, "No... But... Although we didn't agree, we have always had a tacit understanding..."
Eldest brother will always take good care of him and choose tasks according to his situation.He thought it was self-evident, but he didn't expect that Shen Zhengze would break it one day.
Hearing this, Shen Zhengze became more confident, and said with a smile, "You didn't make an appointment with senior brother, but I invited you yesterday, and he agreed. In this way, I'm one step ahead of you. Brother Liu, you'd better wait a little longer." time."
Shen Zhengze's words were already polite enough, he actually wanted to question Liu Shaoqing—since there was no appointment, why did you yell at the big brother and accuse the big brother politely?
Liu Shaoqing stood where he was, as if he was about to cry.
He originally thought that Xie Lingjun would take him with him, so when Ji Yanran announced the task, he kept silent.Up to now, there are only about ten characters left, all at the first level, how could he complete it by himself?In other words, during the ten years, he will have no tasks and no opportunities.
"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Liu Shaoqing choked up and stared at Xie Lingjun with a pair of rainy eyes, seemingly complaining silently.
After all, Xie Lingjun didn't want to see other people being wronged, but apart from pity and sympathy, he was also somewhat annoyed by Liu Shaoqing's cowardice and incompetence.He seemed to be admonishing Liu Shaoqing to let the other party strengthen themselves, but there were so many people at the moment, he took Liu Shaoqing's face into consideration, so he didn't say anything harsh.
He just said, "I forgot."
These three simple words have actually sentenced Liu Shaoqing to death.In Xie Lingjun's mind, Liu Shaoqing was someone who saw it and was willing to lend a helping hand. If he didn't see it, he wouldn't take the initiative to remember it.
And once Shen Zhengze was by his side, he didn't remember Liu Shaoqing at all.
Liu Shaoqing burst into tears immediately, and said with a sneer: "Eldest brother and nobleman forget things too much. How can I, a lowly person, be compared with Shen Zhengze. I am just someone who even the precept elders don't want to talk to me, and Shen Zhengze is the second son of the Qingyang Pavilion master." Disciple, your direct junior brother..."
Xie Lingjun was enraged by Liu Shaoqing's words, and immediately shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
After Xie Lingjun yelled at Liu Shaoqing, she immediately came to her senses. Only then did she realize what she had said, and she couldn't help but feel remorse.
"Eldest brother..." Liu Shaoqing begged, "Listen to me. What I said just now was not sincere, but just out of anger. Yes, that's right, I was just fainted by anger, how could it be mine? Tell the truth. Senior brother, you must not misunderstand."
Xie Lingjun was expressionless and interrupted coldly: "I don't think I misunderstood anything. It doesn't matter to me what you said, because the person you said hurt me, and I don't care how others judge me. You still don’t know what’s wrong with your words.”
Liu Shaoqing was full of resentment, but her face was pitiful, and she asked softly: "Brother, where did I go wrong? I beg you to guide me."
Xie Lingjun asked: "What do you think is the difference between you and us?"
Liu Shaoqing thought to himself, it is only because of the master.
Jiang Xie is the pavilion master, while Zheng Sinan is just the elder of discipline.Zheng Sinan's ability is naturally inferior to Jiang Xie's, but his prestige is greater than Jiang Xie's, and he scolds and beats him every now and then.
His talent wasn't bad either, although he wasn't as talented as Xie Lingjun and Shen Zhengze, he was still one in a million.If he could get Jiang Xie's teaching, he would definitely not be bullied by disciples like Zhao Dong.
Although Liu Shaoqing thought so in his heart, he also knew that saying such a thing would definitely annoy Xie Lingjun, so he duplicity said: "The difference lies in the qualifications. No one can match the senior brother's qualifications, and I must not be able to compare."
Hearing this, Xie Lingjun laughed angrily and was speechless for a while.
Xie Lingjun rarely smiled in front of Liu Shaoqing, and was very serious and upright.His sweet smile didn't seem like he was angry, but rather elated.
He is so handsome that when he smiles, people can't take their eyes off him.
Liu Shaoqing stared at Xie Lingjun blankly, not knowing which words he said made Xie Lingjun laugh.When he saw Xie Lingjun's smile, he forgot about his injustice and grievance, and felt a ray of bright sunshine shining into his heart, which made people couldn't help but rejoice.
What he said was extremely clumsy, and he also knew that Xie Lingjun would never laugh because of his praise.
Sure enough, after Xie Lingjun's extremely beautiful smile, he said disappointed words: "Wrong, what a rotten tree."
When Liu Shaoqing heard this, his heart was overwhelmed.
Xie Lingjun has also expressed dissatisfaction many times before, but they are very tactful, either saying "Your sword lacks tenacity", or "Don't care about other people's judgments, whether it is Zheng Sinan or Zhao Dong, they are not worthy of your concern superior".Xie Lingjun has never called him a "rotten wood" directly like this.
Liu Shaoqing's eyes turned red immediately, he didn't dare to blame Xie Lingjun, he didn't dare to resent Xie Lingjun's wrong words, so he could only attribute all his grievances to Shen Zhengze.
If it wasn't for Shen Zhengze, how could the elder brother say that about him!
Liu Shaoqing didn't understand that what Xie Lingjun said to him before was for his own good.The reason why Xie Lingjun is willing to spend time and talk about these principles to guide him is because he is pitiful and his heart is not bad.
But now Xie Lingjun scolded him because what he said had already shown his character, which made Xie Lingjun feel uncomfortable.
Xie Lingjun was not willing to communicate with others, and had a temperament to get along with others a little bit.When he looks at people, if he thinks the other person is good, he will associate with him; if he thinks it is bad, he will keep him at a respectful distance.
What dissatisfaction he had with Liu Shaoqing had already been mentioned in his previous guidance, but Liu Shaoqing obviously didn't understand it, and instead was immersed in his own world.
But now, he felt that he was different from Liu Shaoqing, and he didn't want to talk to him anymore.
Xie Lingjun has always believed that giving a man a fish is worse than giving a man a fish.His help to Liu Shaoqing has greatly exceeded his principles. He wanted to make a final decision today, but unexpectedly saw the character of the other party clearly.
"Let's go." Xie Lingjun turned around directly and said to Shen Zhengze.
Shen Zhengze felt perplexed, and wanted to say a few words to Liu Shaoqing to wake him up.But when Xie Lingjun spoke, he didn't stay where he was, and followed the opponent's sword directly.
After the two left, Liu Shaoqing stood where he was, clenched his hands, and gritted his teeth with hatred.
Ji Yanran watched the farce happen and end with cold eyes. After Xie Lingjun left, he smiled and asked Liu Shaoqing: "Everyone has left, and now there are no tasks. Those who were taken away will be taken away, and those who were destroyed will be destroyed. Next time you Remember to get the mission early, don't wait until the end, empty-handed."
When Liu Shaoqing heard Ji Yanran's persuasion, she didn't feel that the other party was doing her own good, but felt that she was being ridiculed again.
·
Xie Lingjun and Shen Zhengze flew with their swords, and they would soon leave the Changbai Mountains.
Xie Lingjun is now in the Vientiane Realm, and Shen Zhengze has just entered the Realm of Self. In order for Shen Zhengze to keep up with him, he deliberately slowed down Yujian's speed.
Shen Zhengze flew for a while, thinking of Xie Lingjun's smile not long ago, rippling in his heart, and asked softly: "Brother Xie, have you ever carried someone else with Yujian?"
Xie Lingjun denied, "No."
Shen Zhengze smiled and said, "Brother Xie could have flown faster, but I dragged you down. If Brother Xie could carry me with his sword, wouldn't we be able to reach the vicissitudes of life earlier?"
Xie Lingjun shook his head: "Yujian's arrival at the finish line is also a part of the school examination. The time limit for this task is ten years, so there is no rush."
Shen Zhengze only mentioned it casually, and didn't really expect Xie Lingjun to agree, so he didn't feel disappointed when he heard this answer.
"Senior Brother Xie," Shen Zhengze was still curious about one thing, and now he couldn't help bringing it up, "I want to ask, what is Liu Shaoqing's fault?"
Xie Lingjun did not answer immediately, but instead asked: "What do you know about this?"
Shen Zhengze shrugged, and said casually: "I didn't do anything. I just felt that a question was raised, but I didn't get an answer, and I felt uncomfortable. You must know the answer before you can put this question down."
Xie Lingjun smiled slightly, and said: "Liu Shaoqing doesn't understand, only self-respect and self-improvement can win the favor of others. If he keeps not motivated like this, all he will get is the sympathy of others. It has nothing to do with who his disciple is. .He was just himself."
Shen Zhengze suddenly realized, and murmured: "So you know it all in your heart, senior brother."
Xie Lingjun was amused again.
Shen Zhengze looked at Xie Lingjun bewilderedly.He seldom saw Xie Lingjun smile, but for some reason today, he saw Xie Lingjun smile three times.
Xie Lingjun asked: "Do you know how old I was when you became a teacher?"
Shen Zhengze came back to his senses and shook his head: "I don't know."
"Three hundred years old." Xie Lingjun said, "That year, I was in the late stage of World Viewing Realm, and I hit the Vientiane Realm. Before that, although I rarely left the cabinet, these hundreds of years were not in vain."
When Shen Zhengze heard this, he immediately understood that Xie Lingjun was talking about—he was three hundred years old after all, and now he is over 400 years old. How could he not understand what he should know about human relationships and the world.He just doesn't want to deal with others, but he has his own standards in his mind about how to treat others.
After Shen Zhengze figured it out, his understanding of Xie Lingjun improved.
Originally, in his eyes, Xie Lingjun was just a paper man with a flat personality. The most different thing from the paper man was that Xie Lingjun had a body.In fact, Shen Zhengze didn't think that the other party really had a soul, and still regarded Xie Lingjun as the author's puppet, a tool man.
After Shen Zhengze really had a conversation with Xie Lingjun, he finally discovered that the other party was a thinking and living person.
"May I ask, how did you know Liu Shaoqing?"
Xie Lingjun looked sideways, looked directly at Shen Zhengze, and raised his eyebrows: "You really have a lot of questions and a lot of curiosity."
Shen Zhengze was so amazed by Xie Lingjun's actions, he was speechless for a while, and after a while, he tried to tease him: "It turns out that senior brother Xie also has emotions."
Xie Lingjun frowned slightly, puzzled and said: "Is this very strange, something worthy of your surprise?"
"No." Shen Zhengze raised his hand and covered his chest, "Even for a hundred years, I see seniors as cold and seldom see you making expressions. Today you are smiling and raising your eyebrows... I am quite happy." Unexpected."
Xie Lingjun stretched out his hand, pointed at the eyebrow trimming with his right hand, and said softly: "So I raised my eyebrows?"
Seeing this, Shen Zhengze couldn't help laughing: "Don't you know what you did yourself?"
Xie Lingjun let go, and said indifferently: "I don't know. I am born lacking in emotions and desires, and my emotions are indifferent, and I rarely have any ups and downs. The parting of life and death that others feel painful, in my eyes, is commonplace, but it is nothing more than the cause and effect of heaven."
Shen Zhengze's heart moved, he pointed to the flowing cloud in front of him, and asked, "What did you think of when you saw this dense water vapor?"
Xie Lingjun thought for a moment, and replied: "I thought that water vapor would gather into flowing clouds, and one day it would turn into rain and fall on the world. If the rain is timely, it can nourish all things; if it rains heavily, it will burn people. Under the sun, it turns into water vapor. What does the sky say, the four seasons move, and all things come into being. What I have seen is roughly the same.”
Surprised by Xie Lingjun's thoughts, Shen Zhengze touched his nose.
Xie Lingjun also asked: "What did Junior Brother Shen think of?"
Shen Zhengze said embarrassingly: "I feel that the water vapor is dense, very beautiful and dreamy, illusory, like being in a fairyland. Yujian is flying in the clouds, and I just feel comfortable. I feel happy in my heart, and when I look around, I feel that the whole world is extremely bright happy."
Xie Lingjun pondered: "How can the world be bright and happy? The world operates according to its own laws, and it is what it is. It doesn't matter whether it is happy or gloomy, or whether it is bright or dark."
Shen Zhengze let out a "hmm", and stopped arguing with Xie Lingjun on this topic.
In fact, he was persuaded by Xie Lingjun's brain circuit, and thought to himself: As expected of the son of luck, the hero of the pit, this level of thought is higher than ordinary people like me.
But after chatting for a while, Shen Zhengze was already convinced by Xie Lingjun.
"There really is such a perfect creation." Shen Zhengze secretly glanced at Xie Lingjun, and couldn't help admiring in his heart.
The fly in the ointment is that Xie Lingjun is too perfect.
People may have some innocuous flaws, and some human spirits can make people get close with peace of mind. Xie Lingjun is really too high and unattainable.In the face of such a perfect creation, others will pale in comparison.
Xie Lingjun felt lonely, partly because of this.Few people are as lively and bold as Shen Zhengze in front of him, most of them are cautious, lest they say or do wrong.
And the attitude of others has created his superior character more and more.
·
There are five continents and four continents in the world.
The Five Continents refer to the Extreme East Canghai, Wantian Continent, Wanzhao Continent, Boundless Anling Continent, and Beiming Continent.
Qingyang Pavilion is located in Beiming Continent, very far away from the extreme east of the Canghai. Xie and Shen have been flying with their swords for several days, but they are still in Beiming.
Shen Zhengze was quite new at first, it was the first time he flew in such a high cloud layer.But after a few days, once the novelty wears off, the rest is long and boring.
Xie Lingjun has a dull temper, even if he is willing to talk to him occasionally and have a long conversation with him.But most of the time, Xie Lingjun flew silently, and Shen Zhengze kept calling "Senior Brother Xie" and "Senior Brother Xie", and the other party pretended not to hear him.
Shen Zhengze repeated the old saying: "Brother Xie, can't you carry me with the sword? Let's go to the extreme east to see. It's nothing to fly in the clouds all day long, it's not interesting at all."
Xie Lingjun was finally willing to speak again: "No."
"Oh, there's nothing wrong with it." Shen Zhengze raised his forehead and said, "Brother Xie, you're just overthinking. Whether the mission is completed or not depends on whether our exploration of the secret realm is complete. Such trivial matters as Yujian flying will never That counts."
Xie Ling was unmoved: "No."
Shen Zhengze muttered, "Wood."
Xie Lingjun smiled slightly: "Speak up. People are right next to you. If you want to complain about me, you need to be careful not to hear me?"
Shen Zhengze then shouted loudly: "You piece of wood!"
Xie Lingjun looked relaxed:
He was overwhelmed with worry, coupled with the demons in his heart, he was already very tired, being held in Xie Lingjun's arms, even though he was in a cold room, his body felt warm.In this case, he even dozed off.The heart formula circulated automatically in his body, he couldn't stand it anymore, and finally fell into a deep sleep.
Xie Lingjun saw that Shen Zhengze had calmed down, and all the magic patterns on the opponent's body retreated, so he had time to start recalling.
Before, he felt that the scene of him hugging Shen Zhengze was very familiar, as if he had done this action before, thinking back slowly, he finally remembered it.
At that time, Shen Zhengze had just been apprenticed to a teacher not long ago, not even a hundred years old, and he had just entered the Realm of Self, and his cultivation base was very low.
·
past life.
"Thank you, Senior Brother." Shen Zhengze's face remained at the age of 20, and it has not changed a bit for thousands of years.
Xie Lingjun retracted his sword and silently stared at this junior who was two or three hundred years younger than him.
Since this junior apprentice became a teacher, the master has become more and more strict with him, but he treats this junior like a spring breeze.The comparison between the two made Xie Lingjun, who had never had any emotional fluctuations, feel abnormal and surprised.
Xie Lingjun can't say he likes or dislikes this little junior who is only a hundred years old, it's just mediocre.But he could feel that this little junior was a little bit hostile to him, and a little bit showing off.
"Master let you practice sword again today?" Shen Zhengze sat on the long sword, the breeze blew his clothes, and his hair was blown with the wind.
Xie Lingjun nodded slightly and did not speak.
Shen Zhengze seemed to think that Xie Lingwei was dull and boring, so he reached out to pat his mouth and yawned.He went down with the sword, and finally stopped in front of Xie Lingjun, retracted the sword, and his green shirt stood up.
Shen Zhengze smiled, exuberant, with a relaxed and pleasant tone: "Master took me to the Poyang Lake to see the scenery today, and he said that he would take me into the Beiming School in the future, and pay homage to the great power of the Beiming School together."
Xie Lingjun still nodded and remained silent.
The performance requires the cooperation of the audience. Since Shen Zhengze met such an uncooperative audience as Xie Lingjun, he felt very boring.This kind of boredom was not only because of Xie Lingjun, but also because Shen Zhengze felt that he was underestimated. Nothing he did could escape the eyes of Xie Lingjun, who was overlooking his clumsy performance from above.
Before Shen Zhengze came, he was clearly thinking about Xie Lingjun's extremely beautiful face, but when he saw Xie Lingjun himself, he couldn't get angry.
"I'm thinking of you," Shen Zhengze said in his heart, "but you don't seem to take me seriously. Doesn't it seem that I'm very earnest, like I'm rushing to make a fool of myself."
Seeing that Shen Zhengze was in a daze, Xie Lingjun asked coldly, "Do you have anything else to say, Junior Brother?"
"Are you an incomprehensible piece of wood?" Shen Zhengze muttered.
Xie Lingjun lowered his eyes indifferently, and asked, "Why do you say 'incomprehensible style'?"
When Shen Zhengze was asked this question, he realized that he had made a slip of the tongue.Saying the four words "incomprehensible style" and using it to judge Xie Lingjun, it seems that he is comparing himself to the intentional King Xiang and Xie Lingjun to the unintentional goddess.
Shen Zhengze quickly explained: "No, I just feel that Senior Brother Xie has said too little, and I don't even know what you are thinking."
Xie Lingjun frowned almost invisibly, puzzled: "Why do you want to know what I'm thinking?"
Shen Zhengze was also taken aback by the question, he hesitated and couldn't answer.
Yes, why did he try to figure out Xie Lingjun's thoughts, to know what the other party was thinking?What does it matter to him?Even Shen Zhengze himself couldn't figure out this question.
Xie Ling didn't understand Shen Zhengze.He always does his own way, and rarely considers others, let alone speculates on others' thoughts.
At this time, Xie Lingjun was still not impatient, but asked in a cold voice again: "Junior Brother Shen, do you have anything else to say?"
"Yes!" Shen Zhengze reacted, and quickly said, "Tomorrow is the day when Elder Ji releases the mission. I want to ask Senior Brother Xie, you..."
"Me? Me what?" Seeing that Shen Zhengze was halfway through his words, Xie Lingjun suddenly stopped and asked.
Shen Zhengze blinked, raised his head slightly, and said with a smile: "I just want to ask my brother, you used to walk with Liu Shaoqing. But now Liu Shaoqing has just built his foundation, and he is three realms behind his senior brother. And I am two realms away from my senior brother. , is more suitable than Liu Shaoqing, what do you think?"
It was the first time for Shen Zhengze to do such a thing as prying someone into a corner. He persuaded himself: Xie Lingji is the hero, the son of luck, and he has meat to eat with him.
Thinking of this, he didn't feel sorry for Liu Shaoqing anymore.Anyway, Liu Shaoqing followed Xie Lingjun just to gain experience, but at least he could give Xie Lingjun a little help so as not to hold him back.
Upon hearing this, Xie Lingjun looked at Shen Zhengze with a half-smile.
Shen Zhengze was at a loss.
It was this kind of look again, making people unable to understand what Xie Lingjun was thinking, whether he was laughing at him for overreaching himself, or expressing contempt calmly... The courage Shen Zhengze had finally accumulated was all under these eyes Fall apart.
That's right, he clearly knows how to speak and how to do things, but in front of Xie Lingjun, he always says wrong things and does wrong things.Compared with the obedient and sensible Liu Shaoqing, he seems to have nothing worthy of Xie Lingjun's attention.They also brought Fei Tuo oil bottles, he was brought along, and Liu Shaoqing was also brought along, why didn't Xie Lingjun choose an obedient one?
Thinking of this, Shen Zhengze couldn't help feeling a little discouraged.
Xie Lingjun was thoughtful, and after a while, he asked, "Is that all?"
Shen Zhengze was out of breath from being watched, and felt that being questioned like this, he should say more to increase his competitiveness, but he was afraid of saying too much and making mistakes.
"That's it." Shen Zhengze said finally.
Xie Lingjun nodded: "I see."
Shen Zhengze swallowed unconsciously, Xie Lingjun's attitude made him very conflicted.The other party seemed to give him the illusion that he could continue, but he didn't actually say anything.
Shen Zhengze couldn't bear such an unclear response, so he had to ask again: "You know, what does this mean? Brother Xie, are you willing to walk with me?"
Xie Lingjun thought for a while and said, "I'm very worried about Liu Shaoqing."
When Shen Zhengze heard these words, it was difficult to distinguish the feeling in his heart.
At that time, he didn't know that this feeling was called jealousy, but he just felt that this short sentence, each and every word hit the tip of his heart, causing him a dull pain.Not to think about it carefully, when he thought of this sentence, he felt another burst of sourness swept over him.
Shen Zhengze took a deep breath, stretched his eyebrows, forced a smile and said: "It turns out that senior brother still prefers to go with Liu Shaoqing, so I'll go find someone else, and I have to solve my worries."
"No." Xie Lingjun said slowly, "This is not my original intention. You haven't listened to my words, so let me finish."
Shen Zhengze's heart sank just now, and with these words, he hung up again.Above his beating heart was a sharp sword and a sharp knife. The sharp knife could pierce his heart at any time, but he couldn't dodge it in time; or in other words, he was completely powerless against Xie Lingjun's sharp words dodge.
Xie Lingjun's next sentence was to agree, or to decline.
It only takes one sentence to sentence him.
Xie Lingjun's thin lips parted and closed, and the frightening words leaked out of his mouth lightly: "Liu Shaoqing is under the discipline elder Zheng Sinan, and has a very bad relationship with his seniors, and is often bullied/humiliated. They rescued each other, but unexpectedly this made Liu Shaoqing offend others even more. Since then, Liu Shaoqing has no senior brother to lead him along.
"I pity him for his young age and low level of cultivation. The task system of Qingyang Pavilion is related to the once-in-a-century exams for his disciples. If he ranks low after a hundred years, he will be expelled from Qingyang Pavilion."
The task of Qingyang Pavilion was issued by the elder Ji Yanran, and then all the elders rated it, and finally the ranking was calculated by Zheng Sinan.The whole process is very strict, just to prevent injustice.
Tasks are difficult and easy, and young disciples with low cultivation bases are rarely as gifted as Xie Lingjun and Shen Zhengze. It is difficult to achieve it in a hundred years, let alone entering the realm of self, even in the late stage of foundation establishment.The difficulty of the tasks they can complete can be imagined. After a hundred years of accumulation, they will naturally rank at the bottom, and they will be expelled from Qingyang Pavilion in the end.
Therefore, young disciples usually make friends with senior brothers with high cultivation and travel together.In order to avoid the situation where the score is taken away, the Qingyang Pavilion allows the seniors to bring one junior at most.
In Liu Shaoqing's situation, only Xie Lingjun was willing to take him with him. If even Xie Lingjun gave up on him, then the only thing waiting for him was to leave Qingyang Pavilion.
Xie Lingjun said while Shen Zhengze summed up in his mind, and finally came to the above conclusion.
Shen Zhengze seldom listened to Xie Lingjun's long speeches, but this time the other party said such a long speech, it was because of Liu Shaoqing... His brows that had been stretched just now frowned as he listened.
Shen Zhengze sighed in his heart.Although he still felt that Xie Lingjun was a cardboard person, after hearing these words, even if the other party was so beautiful that it was unreal, there was still a bit of a worldly atmosphere.
He thought that a high-ranking chief disciple like Xie Lingjun, the Hufa Xie whom everyone admired, would not know about all these twists and turns, but the other party not only knew, but also silently helped Liu Shaoqing...
Shen Zhengze thought to himself: You are so good, I almost can't bear to steal your luck.
Xie Lingjun's words continued: "I helped him a lot in the hundred years before you came here. If he needed me in the first hundred years, now he also has the cultivation base in the late stage of foundation establishment, which is far better than many disciples who have just apprenticed. I will help him again. He can't justify it, it's unfair to other people."
When Shen Zhengze heard this, the sharp sword hanging in his heart finally disappeared without a trace.
Xie Lingjun said: "You are fine. I am willing to walk with you."
Shen Zhengze almost wondered if he was hallucinating, otherwise how could he hear Xie Lingjun praise him. The three words "You are fine" made Shen Zhengze's heart swell up.
He thought to himself: This is the hero, right!It's the male protagonist that no one can compare to, the male protagonist that no one can look up to, right?He praised me!I knew that I was a genius of the sky, and I was accepted as an apprentice by the master of Qingyang Pavilion as soon as I approached the Changbai Mountains.I still have a photographic memory, how could someone not like such a talent.
Shen Zhengze was overjoyed, his worries about gains and losses, inferiority complex and doubts all disappeared with this sentence.
As for Xie Lingjun saying "you're fine", it's not that he really has any affection for Shen Zhengze, but based on the comparison, he thinks that Shen Zhengze is tougher and has a sword heart than Liu Shaoqing.
If a person stands on a high place for a long time, he will get used to being condescending.This is the kind of pity he has for Liu Shaoqing.
In fact, Xie Lingjun was very lonely, and Shen Zhengze was a rare person who could match him in talent.Xie Lingjun was warlike, so he couldn't help but want to train Shen Zhengze.
This trip together may be an excellent opportunity to test each other's potential.
·
The next day, stay at the top of Changliu Peak.
Ji Yanran held layers of scrolls in his left hand, and seeing that the time was almost approaching noon, he asked loudly, "Is everyone here?"
Everyone responded one after another: "It's all here."
Ji Yanran didn't bother to count people, so she just pretended to be here, and she didn't plan to make up the task if she didn't come.
"Since everything is complete, let's issue the mission directly. There are 65 missions this time. I think everyone knows that there were hundreds of missions in the last ten years. Why are there only dozens of missions left this time?" It's..."
Ji Yanran paused for a moment, and then said: "Because of the hundred-year school examination not long ago, hundreds of people were eliminated. All of you here are gold left by the big waves washing the sand. You can learn like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will fall back. Don't relax. Otherwise, it will be too late to regret when it comes to the next hundred years of school exams."
Sticks are given, followed by compote.
"But you are all direct disciples of the apprentice now. As long as you do more tasks, the higher the score, the higher the ranking on the merit list. There is one master of the Qingyang Pavilion, seven elders, nine guardians, and thirteen deacons. That is to say, as long as you rank in the top [-], you can get the position of deacon; Elder Lie."
Ji Yanran pointed to the merit list buzzing above his head, and said, "Did you see it? My name, Ji Yanran, is on the sixth place. And the eighth place is Li Bie. As long as you squeeze him out, you will be able take his place."
At this time, a disciple asked: "Then Xie Dharma Protector is ranked third, and he also has a cultivation level of the Vientiane Realm, so why is he still a Dharma Protector?"
"Good question!" Ji Yanran smiled cleverly, "I have to ask Protector Xie to answer this question in person. However, Protector Xie is a cold person, so I'm afraid he won't open his mouth, so let me answer it for you."
Xie Ling stood where he was, without saying a word.
Ji Yanran explained: "Because Hufa Xie loves swords, he practices swords all day long, and finds people to fight when he has nothing to do. The job of an elder requires a lot of time and energy. Hufa Xie feels that the position is outside the body, and only elders The sword can accompany you, so it ranks third, but it is still the job of protecting the Dharma."
After finishing speaking, she changed the subject: "Okay, let's not gossip. Next, number 65, third-level B, the specific content is... Is anyone willing to accept the task?"
I don't know if all the disciples dislike the low rating of this task, or feel that the task is not beneficial, anyway, no one is willing to accept the task.
"No one wants it? Then follow the old rules." Ji Yanran raised her eyebrows, smiled, threw the scroll in her hand into the air, drew her sword casually, and smashed the scroll into powder.
"Next, the number 64 is still the third grade B, the specific content..."
The missions were issued one by one, and soon there were only a dozen or so scrolls left in Ji Yanran's hand.
"No. thirteen, first-level C, etc. The specific content is to develop a secret realm, which is located in the mulberry field of the far east sea. This secret realm was first discovered by Qingyang Pavilion and marked. After initial detection by Li Bie, it should be a natural place. The formed cave is not too difficult. Who is willing to accept it?"
Ji Yanran took out a scroll of secret realm development from among the many tasks, and raised her hand to ask.
There were only nine people left at the scene, except for Shen Zhengze and Liu Shaoqing, the rest of them had at least the cultivation base of the World Viewing Realm.Developing a secret realm is thankless, and there is nothing particularly attractive about a cave that was abandoned by the elder Li Bie.
Seeing that Xie Lingjun hadn't moved yet, Shen Zhengze became a little anxious.
According to the pit text "Legend of the Three Realms", Xie Lingjun had to accept the mission, and then enter the secret realm with Liu Shaoqing, find a hidden cave, and harvest a lot of natural materials and earthly treasures.
But Xie Lingjun's calmness now seemed to be beyond Shen Zhengze's expectation.
Xie Lingjun originally accepted this mission because of Liu Shaoqing's consideration; but now that he plans to go with Shen Zhengze, he is naturally ready to choose a first-class mission.
Ji Yanran didn't seem to be surprised, he just waved the scroll in his hand, and finally asked: "Is there really no one going to visit the secret realm? Although this secret realm is not rated top-notch, it is located in the far east, where the four seasons Like spring, spending ten years there and enjoying the beautiful scenery is also a pleasure.”
Ji Yanran's rhetoric obviously couldn't impress the rest of the people.
"Is that so?" Ji Yanran felt a little regretful, after all, she still liked the environment in the extreme east.But she thought about it, after all, the task was for ranking, or for chance, and she herself couldn't accept the task just because she liked a place.
It's a pity, it's a pity, but she didn't show mercy at all when she destroyed the mission scroll.
"Elder Ji wait a minute!" Shen Zhengze had no choice but to speak by himself, "Disciple Shen Zhengze is very interested in this task and wants to accept it."
Xie Lingjun was quite surprised. He thought that Shen Zhengze was with him to obtain a first-class mission, but he didn't expect that the other party was willing to accept a secret mission that no one wanted.
Ji Yanran smiled enthusiastically at Shen Zhengze, and threw the scroll in his hand: "Accept it! This task is still very good, you have a vision."
Shen Zhengze took over the mission scroll with lingering fears in his heart.
This unrated top task was almost destroyed!
After accepting the task, Shen Zhengze and Xie Lingjun held the sword together, preparing to leave for the far east.
"Big brother!" Liu Shaoqing shouted.
Xie Lingjun heard the words, and finally remembered that there was another person, put his sword on the ground, and looked at Liu Shaoqing silently.
"Eldest brother," Liu Shaoqing had a bad feeling in his heart, "You...are you not ready to accept the mission?"
Xie Lingjun replied indifferently: "It has been connected."
The uneasiness in Liu Shaoqing's heart became more and more intense, and her tone was forced: "What mission did you... take?"
"Number thirteen, first-class C-level exploration of the secret realm." Xie Lingjun said.
Liu Shaoqing heard the words, what else do you not understand?
The task numbered thirteen, level one C, was the one that was almost destroyed by Ji Yanran just now, but was taken over by Shen Zhengze.Xie Lingjun's mission is also the same, which means that Xie Lingjun will go with Shen Zhengze, and Liu Shaoqing has nothing to do without him.
Liu Shaoqing felt great pain in his heart, very unwilling, and extremely wronged: "Isn't this mission belonged to Shen Zhengze?"
Xie Lingjun lowered his eyes, looked at Liu Shaoqing coldly, and said: "It belongs to Junior Brother Shen, and it belongs to me."
Hearing this, Liu Shaoqing was not only aggrieved, but also resentful, and immediately asked: "Brother, what do you mean! What does it mean that this task belongs to both Shen Zhengze and you? I don't understand! We haven't always been together Why? Why did you-"
His words were interrupted by Shen Zhengze.
Seeing Liu Shaoqing's situation, Shen Zhengze secretly felt joy in his heart.Aside from being happy, he hated Liu Shaoqing's incompetent appearance very much, so he immediately defended Xie Lingjun: "You have been walking together, did you agree before?"
Liu Shaoqing was choked up when he heard the words, and said, "No... But... Although we didn't agree, we have always had a tacit understanding..."
Eldest brother will always take good care of him and choose tasks according to his situation.He thought it was self-evident, but he didn't expect that Shen Zhengze would break it one day.
Hearing this, Shen Zhengze became more confident, and said with a smile, "You didn't make an appointment with senior brother, but I invited you yesterday, and he agreed. In this way, I'm one step ahead of you. Brother Liu, you'd better wait a little longer." time."
Shen Zhengze's words were already polite enough, he actually wanted to question Liu Shaoqing—since there was no appointment, why did you yell at the big brother and accuse the big brother politely?
Liu Shaoqing stood where he was, as if he was about to cry.
He originally thought that Xie Lingjun would take him with him, so when Ji Yanran announced the task, he kept silent.Up to now, there are only about ten characters left, all at the first level, how could he complete it by himself?In other words, during the ten years, he will have no tasks and no opportunities.
"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Liu Shaoqing choked up and stared at Xie Lingjun with a pair of rainy eyes, seemingly complaining silently.
After all, Xie Lingjun didn't want to see other people being wronged, but apart from pity and sympathy, he was also somewhat annoyed by Liu Shaoqing's cowardice and incompetence.He seemed to be admonishing Liu Shaoqing to let the other party strengthen themselves, but there were so many people at the moment, he took Liu Shaoqing's face into consideration, so he didn't say anything harsh.
He just said, "I forgot."
These three simple words have actually sentenced Liu Shaoqing to death.In Xie Lingjun's mind, Liu Shaoqing was someone who saw it and was willing to lend a helping hand. If he didn't see it, he wouldn't take the initiative to remember it.
And once Shen Zhengze was by his side, he didn't remember Liu Shaoqing at all.
Liu Shaoqing burst into tears immediately, and said with a sneer: "Eldest brother and nobleman forget things too much. How can I, a lowly person, be compared with Shen Zhengze. I am just someone who even the precept elders don't want to talk to me, and Shen Zhengze is the second son of the Qingyang Pavilion master." Disciple, your direct junior brother..."
Xie Lingjun was enraged by Liu Shaoqing's words, and immediately shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
After Xie Lingjun yelled at Liu Shaoqing, she immediately came to her senses. Only then did she realize what she had said, and she couldn't help but feel remorse.
"Eldest brother..." Liu Shaoqing begged, "Listen to me. What I said just now was not sincere, but just out of anger. Yes, that's right, I was just fainted by anger, how could it be mine? Tell the truth. Senior brother, you must not misunderstand."
Xie Lingjun was expressionless and interrupted coldly: "I don't think I misunderstood anything. It doesn't matter to me what you said, because the person you said hurt me, and I don't care how others judge me. You still don’t know what’s wrong with your words.”
Liu Shaoqing was full of resentment, but her face was pitiful, and she asked softly: "Brother, where did I go wrong? I beg you to guide me."
Xie Lingjun asked: "What do you think is the difference between you and us?"
Liu Shaoqing thought to himself, it is only because of the master.
Jiang Xie is the pavilion master, while Zheng Sinan is just the elder of discipline.Zheng Sinan's ability is naturally inferior to Jiang Xie's, but his prestige is greater than Jiang Xie's, and he scolds and beats him every now and then.
His talent wasn't bad either, although he wasn't as talented as Xie Lingjun and Shen Zhengze, he was still one in a million.If he could get Jiang Xie's teaching, he would definitely not be bullied by disciples like Zhao Dong.
Although Liu Shaoqing thought so in his heart, he also knew that saying such a thing would definitely annoy Xie Lingjun, so he duplicity said: "The difference lies in the qualifications. No one can match the senior brother's qualifications, and I must not be able to compare."
Hearing this, Xie Lingjun laughed angrily and was speechless for a while.
Xie Lingjun rarely smiled in front of Liu Shaoqing, and was very serious and upright.His sweet smile didn't seem like he was angry, but rather elated.
He is so handsome that when he smiles, people can't take their eyes off him.
Liu Shaoqing stared at Xie Lingjun blankly, not knowing which words he said made Xie Lingjun laugh.When he saw Xie Lingjun's smile, he forgot about his injustice and grievance, and felt a ray of bright sunshine shining into his heart, which made people couldn't help but rejoice.
What he said was extremely clumsy, and he also knew that Xie Lingjun would never laugh because of his praise.
Sure enough, after Xie Lingjun's extremely beautiful smile, he said disappointed words: "Wrong, what a rotten tree."
When Liu Shaoqing heard this, his heart was overwhelmed.
Xie Lingjun has also expressed dissatisfaction many times before, but they are very tactful, either saying "Your sword lacks tenacity", or "Don't care about other people's judgments, whether it is Zheng Sinan or Zhao Dong, they are not worthy of your concern superior".Xie Lingjun has never called him a "rotten wood" directly like this.
Liu Shaoqing's eyes turned red immediately, he didn't dare to blame Xie Lingjun, he didn't dare to resent Xie Lingjun's wrong words, so he could only attribute all his grievances to Shen Zhengze.
If it wasn't for Shen Zhengze, how could the elder brother say that about him!
Liu Shaoqing didn't understand that what Xie Lingjun said to him before was for his own good.The reason why Xie Lingjun is willing to spend time and talk about these principles to guide him is because he is pitiful and his heart is not bad.
But now Xie Lingjun scolded him because what he said had already shown his character, which made Xie Lingjun feel uncomfortable.
Xie Lingjun was not willing to communicate with others, and had a temperament to get along with others a little bit.When he looks at people, if he thinks the other person is good, he will associate with him; if he thinks it is bad, he will keep him at a respectful distance.
What dissatisfaction he had with Liu Shaoqing had already been mentioned in his previous guidance, but Liu Shaoqing obviously didn't understand it, and instead was immersed in his own world.
But now, he felt that he was different from Liu Shaoqing, and he didn't want to talk to him anymore.
Xie Lingjun has always believed that giving a man a fish is worse than giving a man a fish.His help to Liu Shaoqing has greatly exceeded his principles. He wanted to make a final decision today, but unexpectedly saw the character of the other party clearly.
"Let's go." Xie Lingjun turned around directly and said to Shen Zhengze.
Shen Zhengze felt perplexed, and wanted to say a few words to Liu Shaoqing to wake him up.But when Xie Lingjun spoke, he didn't stay where he was, and followed the opponent's sword directly.
After the two left, Liu Shaoqing stood where he was, clenched his hands, and gritted his teeth with hatred.
Ji Yanran watched the farce happen and end with cold eyes. After Xie Lingjun left, he smiled and asked Liu Shaoqing: "Everyone has left, and now there are no tasks. Those who were taken away will be taken away, and those who were destroyed will be destroyed. Next time you Remember to get the mission early, don't wait until the end, empty-handed."
When Liu Shaoqing heard Ji Yanran's persuasion, she didn't feel that the other party was doing her own good, but felt that she was being ridiculed again.
·
Xie Lingjun and Shen Zhengze flew with their swords, and they would soon leave the Changbai Mountains.
Xie Lingjun is now in the Vientiane Realm, and Shen Zhengze has just entered the Realm of Self. In order for Shen Zhengze to keep up with him, he deliberately slowed down Yujian's speed.
Shen Zhengze flew for a while, thinking of Xie Lingjun's smile not long ago, rippling in his heart, and asked softly: "Brother Xie, have you ever carried someone else with Yujian?"
Xie Lingjun denied, "No."
Shen Zhengze smiled and said, "Brother Xie could have flown faster, but I dragged you down. If Brother Xie could carry me with his sword, wouldn't we be able to reach the vicissitudes of life earlier?"
Xie Lingjun shook his head: "Yujian's arrival at the finish line is also a part of the school examination. The time limit for this task is ten years, so there is no rush."
Shen Zhengze only mentioned it casually, and didn't really expect Xie Lingjun to agree, so he didn't feel disappointed when he heard this answer.
"Senior Brother Xie," Shen Zhengze was still curious about one thing, and now he couldn't help bringing it up, "I want to ask, what is Liu Shaoqing's fault?"
Xie Lingjun did not answer immediately, but instead asked: "What do you know about this?"
Shen Zhengze shrugged, and said casually: "I didn't do anything. I just felt that a question was raised, but I didn't get an answer, and I felt uncomfortable. You must know the answer before you can put this question down."
Xie Lingjun smiled slightly, and said: "Liu Shaoqing doesn't understand, only self-respect and self-improvement can win the favor of others. If he keeps not motivated like this, all he will get is the sympathy of others. It has nothing to do with who his disciple is. .He was just himself."
Shen Zhengze suddenly realized, and murmured: "So you know it all in your heart, senior brother."
Xie Lingjun was amused again.
Shen Zhengze looked at Xie Lingjun bewilderedly.He seldom saw Xie Lingjun smile, but for some reason today, he saw Xie Lingjun smile three times.
Xie Lingjun asked: "Do you know how old I was when you became a teacher?"
Shen Zhengze came back to his senses and shook his head: "I don't know."
"Three hundred years old." Xie Lingjun said, "That year, I was in the late stage of World Viewing Realm, and I hit the Vientiane Realm. Before that, although I rarely left the cabinet, these hundreds of years were not in vain."
When Shen Zhengze heard this, he immediately understood that Xie Lingjun was talking about—he was three hundred years old after all, and now he is over 400 years old. How could he not understand what he should know about human relationships and the world.He just doesn't want to deal with others, but he has his own standards in his mind about how to treat others.
After Shen Zhengze figured it out, his understanding of Xie Lingjun improved.
Originally, in his eyes, Xie Lingjun was just a paper man with a flat personality. The most different thing from the paper man was that Xie Lingjun had a body.In fact, Shen Zhengze didn't think that the other party really had a soul, and still regarded Xie Lingjun as the author's puppet, a tool man.
After Shen Zhengze really had a conversation with Xie Lingjun, he finally discovered that the other party was a thinking and living person.
"May I ask, how did you know Liu Shaoqing?"
Xie Lingjun looked sideways, looked directly at Shen Zhengze, and raised his eyebrows: "You really have a lot of questions and a lot of curiosity."
Shen Zhengze was so amazed by Xie Lingjun's actions, he was speechless for a while, and after a while, he tried to tease him: "It turns out that senior brother Xie also has emotions."
Xie Lingjun frowned slightly, puzzled and said: "Is this very strange, something worthy of your surprise?"
"No." Shen Zhengze raised his hand and covered his chest, "Even for a hundred years, I see seniors as cold and seldom see you making expressions. Today you are smiling and raising your eyebrows... I am quite happy." Unexpected."
Xie Lingjun stretched out his hand, pointed at the eyebrow trimming with his right hand, and said softly: "So I raised my eyebrows?"
Seeing this, Shen Zhengze couldn't help laughing: "Don't you know what you did yourself?"
Xie Lingjun let go, and said indifferently: "I don't know. I am born lacking in emotions and desires, and my emotions are indifferent, and I rarely have any ups and downs. The parting of life and death that others feel painful, in my eyes, is commonplace, but it is nothing more than the cause and effect of heaven."
Shen Zhengze's heart moved, he pointed to the flowing cloud in front of him, and asked, "What did you think of when you saw this dense water vapor?"
Xie Lingjun thought for a moment, and replied: "I thought that water vapor would gather into flowing clouds, and one day it would turn into rain and fall on the world. If the rain is timely, it can nourish all things; if it rains heavily, it will burn people. Under the sun, it turns into water vapor. What does the sky say, the four seasons move, and all things come into being. What I have seen is roughly the same.”
Surprised by Xie Lingjun's thoughts, Shen Zhengze touched his nose.
Xie Lingjun also asked: "What did Junior Brother Shen think of?"
Shen Zhengze said embarrassingly: "I feel that the water vapor is dense, very beautiful and dreamy, illusory, like being in a fairyland. Yujian is flying in the clouds, and I just feel comfortable. I feel happy in my heart, and when I look around, I feel that the whole world is extremely bright happy."
Xie Lingjun pondered: "How can the world be bright and happy? The world operates according to its own laws, and it is what it is. It doesn't matter whether it is happy or gloomy, or whether it is bright or dark."
Shen Zhengze let out a "hmm", and stopped arguing with Xie Lingjun on this topic.
In fact, he was persuaded by Xie Lingjun's brain circuit, and thought to himself: As expected of the son of luck, the hero of the pit, this level of thought is higher than ordinary people like me.
But after chatting for a while, Shen Zhengze was already convinced by Xie Lingjun.
"There really is such a perfect creation." Shen Zhengze secretly glanced at Xie Lingjun, and couldn't help admiring in his heart.
The fly in the ointment is that Xie Lingjun is too perfect.
People may have some innocuous flaws, and some human spirits can make people get close with peace of mind. Xie Lingjun is really too high and unattainable.In the face of such a perfect creation, others will pale in comparison.
Xie Lingjun felt lonely, partly because of this.Few people are as lively and bold as Shen Zhengze in front of him, most of them are cautious, lest they say or do wrong.
And the attitude of others has created his superior character more and more.

There are five continents and four continents in the world.
The Five Continents refer to the Extreme East Canghai, Wantian Continent, Wanzhao Continent, Boundless Anling Continent, and Beiming Continent.
Qingyang Pavilion is located in Beiming Continent, very far away from the extreme east of the Canghai. Xie and Shen have been flying with their swords for several days, but they are still in Beiming.
Shen Zhengze was quite new at first, it was the first time he flew in such a high cloud layer.But after a few days, once the novelty wears off, the rest is long and boring.
Xie Lingjun has a dull temper, even if he is willing to talk to him occasionally and have a long conversation with him.But most of the time, Xie Lingjun flew silently, and Shen Zhengze kept calling "Senior Brother Xie" and "Senior Brother Xie", and the other party pretended not to hear him.
Shen Zhengze repeated the old saying: "Brother Xie, can't you carry me with the sword? Let's go to the extreme east to see. It's nothing to fly in the clouds all day long, it's not interesting at all."
Xie Lingjun was finally willing to speak again: "No."
"Oh, there's nothing wrong with it." Shen Zhengze raised his forehead and said, "Brother Xie, you're just overthinking. Whether the mission is completed or not depends on whether our exploration of the secret realm is complete. Such trivial matters as Yujian flying will never That counts."
Xie Ling was unmoved: "No."
Shen Zhengze muttered, "Wood."
Xie Lingjun smiled slightly: "Speak up. People are right next to you. If you want to complain about me, you need to be careful not to hear me?"
Shen Zhengze then shouted loudly: "You piece of wood!"
Xie Lingjun looked relaxed:
