Master is respected

After deciding to practice swordsmanship with Jiang Yuehan, Xie Junzhuo had one more homework than usual. Before getting a suitable weapon, Jiang Yuehan asked her to chop bamboo.

The three words of chopping bamboo sound simple, but in fact it is not the same thing.The bamboo that Jiang Yuehan asked to cut was the spiritual bamboo transformed by the spiritual vein in the middle of the bamboo sea in Chaosheng Pavilion. Not only is it not easy to cut, but it can also regenerate infinitely.Jiang Yuehan didn't ask too much. Before he went to ask for the sword, Xie Junzhuo cut it down ten times.

Xie Junzhuo didn't know the mystery at the beginning, so he agreed, but soon suffered.

She looked at the spirit bamboo with a thick bowl in front of her, and the hatchet in her hand, feeling that she had been deceived.The texture of spiritual bamboo is different from ordinary bamboo, but it is like jade, crystal clear, and it feels icy and cool to the touch, which is very comfortable.

Xie Junzhuo looked around the Lingzhu, found a direction and started to cut the knife.The first slash, the spirit bamboo didn't move at all, but Xie Junzhuo was shocked back two steps by the force of the counter-shock, hit the bamboo behind him, his tiger's mouth went numb, and the hatchet in his hand almost dropped.

The spiritual bamboo was transformed by the spiritual veins of the bamboo sea, and the whole body was full of spiritual power. Xie Junzhuo did not infuse spiritual power when he cut the knife, and he did not even break through the outermost defense of the spiritual bamboo.

Xie Junzhuo swung her arms and walked back to Lingzhu. This time, she circulated her whole body with spiritual power and poured it into the hatchet, and she could feel obvious resistance when she slashed it.Lin Haili's spiritual power became active, confronting Xie Junzhuo's spiritual power. Xie Junzhuo's knife barely landed on the Lingzhu, but he didn't even make a mark.Not only that, more than half of the spiritual power in her body was taken out, and she didn't have the strength to make a second cut.

Xie Junzhuo sat slumped on the ground, staring at the Lingzhu in front of her that hadn't even been shaken by leaves, thinking of Jiang Yuehan's words of chopping down ten times, her eyes darkened.

The spiritual power consumption in his body was terrifying, Xie Junzhuo put down the hatchet and crossed his legs to embrace Tai Chi, and began to meditate in the bamboo sea.She closed her eyes and adjusted her breath, the spirit bamboo shook the leaves, and spiritual power gathered from all directions to open up Xie Junzhuo's meridians.

Zhuhai was full of spiritual power, and soon Xie Junzhuo's lost spiritual power was replenished.She opened her eyes and clasped her palms, she could feel that the aura in her body was a little more than before.

"I see."

Xie Junzhuo smiled, and suddenly understood Jiang Yuehan's intentions.

The felling of Lingzhu requires Xie Junzhuo to run the whole body's spiritual power, and when the spiritual power is exhausted, she will close her eyes and adjust her breath.At this time, the meridians in her body are in a state of depletion, as soon as she touches the spiritual power, she will absorb it to the maximum extent, expanding the meridians invisibly, making the aura in her body more abundant.

Jiang Yuehan did it for her own good, but this method was too tortured.

Xie Junzhuo smiled wryly, picked up the hatchet and stood up, continuing his bamboo cutting training.This time she managed to cut twice, leaving a shallow mark on the bamboo.

His spiritual power was exhausted, and his arms were sore that he could barely lift them up. Xie Junzhuo gritted his teeth and sat down to adjust his breath.

Xie Junzhuo competed with Lingzhu in the bamboo sea all day long, and when the sun set, she finally cut a gap in the bamboo in front of her.She no longer remembered how many times she had adjusted her breath, and this last time she barely swung the knife five times, and the consumption of spiritual power became more terrifying each time.

The sunset glowed the bamboo sea into orange, and Xie Junzhuo dragged his tired body back to Chaosheng Pavilion.

He Piao stood in the yard picking a basket of herbs, and greeted her when she came back.Xie Junzhuo replied weakly, turned around and went into the room, paralyzed on the bed and did not move.

Jiang Yuehan heard the movement and came out of the room. Seeing Xie Junzhuo like this, he went to the bedside and touched her wrist, tested the spiritual power in her body, and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad."

The corner of Xie Junzhuo's mouth twitched, if Jiang Yuehan said no when she did this, she might cry on the spot.

"I prepared a medicated bath for you, put on your clothes and soak in it, and continue tomorrow." Jiang Yuehan stood up as he spoke, and went to the closet beside him to help Xie Junzhuo find a change of clothes.

Xie Junzhuo lay paralyzed on the bed and did not move. When Jiang Yuehan came back with her clothes, she had already closed her eyes and fell asleep.She felt very tired, and as soon as she lay on the bed, she didn't even want to lift her fingers, and soon fell asleep.

Jiang Yuehan paused, put the clothes on the bedside, sat on the side of the bed and pushed Xie Junzhuo's messy hair away from his face.

He Piao, who was arranging the medicinal materials outside the door, came in with a basket, walked up to Jiang Yuehan and said, "Uncle Jiang, do you need to wake up Uncle Xie?"

Jiang Yuehan shook his head: "No need, wait for her to rest. You help me get a basin of hot water in, and I'll wipe her body."

"Then do you still need to use these herbs?" He Piao shook the basket in his hand.

Jiang Yuehan glanced back and said, "This is a medicinal material for activating meridians, and you can use it too. But your meridians are still very fragile, so just use half of them."

He Piao's heart felt hot, he put down the herbs and went out to help Jiang Yuehan fetch water after humming.

Jiang Yuehan took off Xie Junzhuo's shoes and socks, let her lie down on the bed, and then took off her clothes.Xie Junzhuo sweated a lot in the bamboo sea, his inner clothes were slightly damp.Jiang Yuehan put the clothes aside, pulled the thin quilt to cover her.

He Piao brought hot water, and Jiang Yuehan told her to put it down to take a bath, so she didn't need to stay.He Piao nodded and stepped back, walked to the door and couldn't help looking back.Jiang Yuehan soaked the cloth towel in water, and carefully wiped Xie Junzhuo's body. She did it very skillfully, which was quite different from her usual image of not eating fireworks.

He Piao thought, it was not unreasonable for Xie Junzhuo to like her master so much.She retracted her sharp claws in front of Jiang Yuehan, and Jiang Yuehan showed tenderness in front of her.When facing each other, they all leave the best side for each other.

In the next few days, Xie Junzhuo went back and forth between Zhuhai and Chaosheng Pavilion. After the initial discomfort faded away, she became more and more comfortable in doing things, and began to adjust her breath without cutting a few knives.She can spare time every day to help Jiang Yuehan prepare breakfast and dinner. If she doesn't go back for lunch, she will leave it to He Piao to bring some desserts back from the canteen of the Zongmen.

In addition to taking care of Jiang Yuehan's lunch, He Piao walked around the sect after finishing his daily practice homework, helping Xie Junzhuo find out the news.

There are new things happening in the Sanqing sect every day. It's not that there are jealousy and fights among the disciples, it's that the competition in the school field is out of proportion, or there are some strange new tasks, and how the monsters outside are doing evil.

Xie Junzhuo has to admit that He Piao's ability to gossip is very good. With her by his side, Xie Junzhuo can know many things about the sect without leaving the Chaosheng Pavilion.Listening to He Piao vividly telling the news she heard during daily practice, Xie Junzhuo couldn't help thinking about sending her to the hall.

"Uncle Xie, I have some news that you must be interested in."

After Xie Junzhuo cut down the spiritual bamboo, his spiritual power was exhausted, and he was sitting under the constantly repairing spiritual bamboo to meditate.

He Piao walked over with her skirt on the fallen leaves, but the voice had arrived before the person arrived.She looked happy and couldn't hold back the smile on her face.

Xie Junzhuo opened his eyes and looked at her, not interested in the so-called news from her mouth, so he responded with a lack of interest.It's not that Xie Junzhuo has no curiosity, but that He Piao's curiosity is too shallow. What she thinks is interesting may not be fun to Xie Junzhuo.

Seeing that Xie Junzhuo was not very interested, He Piao pursed his mouth, put his hands on his hips and said, "Can't you be a little curious? I feel very frustrated when you do this."

Xie Junzhuo responded perfunctorily: "I'm very interested, isn't this waiting for you to tell me?"

Having said that, Xie Junzhuo picked up the hatchet and prepared to continue chopping the Lingzhu.

He Piao made a grimace, and didn't play tricks with Xie Junzhuo, and said directly: "Do you know the Seven Star Sect known as the Little San Qingzong? I just heard the news that they will come to visit the Sanqing Sect tomorrow. I used to hear that It is said that their sect is strong, and they may be able to sit on an equal footing with the Sanqing sect in a few years, we..."

He Piao was so excited when he said it alone, he didn't notice the drastic change in Xie Junzhuo's face at all.The hatchet she raised slashed in the wrong direction and grazed the spirit bamboo heavily. The back of the knife collided with the spirit bamboo and made a sharp and ear-piercing sound.

He Piao's words were abruptly interrupted, she turned her head to look at Xie Junzhuo, only to see that Xie Junzhuo's face sank like water, his hand holding the hatchet was tightly tightened, his joints were white, and his veins were prominent.

He Piao was startled, her heart tightened, and she felt that Xie Junzhuo in front of her was like an enraged beast, any more stimulation would make her lose control.He Piao felt scared, she took a step back and stepped on a dead branch in the forest.

There was a light click in the silent forest, and Xie Junzhuo, who was standing stiffly, was startled and immediately came back to his senses.She restrained all her emotions, looked at the knife in her hand expressionlessly, then turned to He Piao, and said, "Are you sure you are from the Seven Star Sect in Liaocheng?"

He Piao's throat was tight, he couldn't say a word, he just nodded stiffly.

Xie Junzhuo fell silent, she looked at the silent bamboo sea, with the fireworks of hatred hidden in her eyes.She rubbed|rubbed her fingers unconsciously, and a turbulent sea arose in her heart.

Something is wrong, at this time, Liao City is already shrouded in a barrier, and you can only enter but not exit, and the Seven Star Sect is also inevitable, why can anyone still come to the Sanqing Sect?

What are they doing here?Could it be that because of my own changes, the events of that year have to be brought forward?

Xie Junzhuo couldn't figure it out, she was a little worried, what happened to Bailu when the Seven Star Sect appeared here?

"Thank... Uncle Xie," He Piao finally recovered her voice, she looked at Xie Junzhuo in fear, many thoughts flashed through her mind, and finally only one remained: "Uncle Xie, do you have grudges with the Seven Star Sect?"

He Piao asked very lightly, Xie Junzhuo's expression just now made her feel lingering fear, but she still couldn't help but want to ask.

Xie Junzhuo smiled coldly and said, "No."

She and the Seven Star School did not have any enmity, but the Bailu incident was caused by the Seven Star School.

"You lied, if you didn't, why are you so angry." He Piao didn't believe it, and replied subconsciously.

Xie Junzhuo raised his head to look at her, his usual inconspicuous restraint, his eyes were cold, and although there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, it made people shudder.

"He Piao, it's not good for you to go to the bottom of some things." Xie Junzhuo raised his hand, and swung his knife heavily on the Lingzhu.The black aura entangled|wrapped around her fingertips, she paused, and said again: "I am for your own good."

Everyone has a past that cannot be questioned. He Piao saw the other side of Xie Junzhuo. Looking at the knife Xie Junzhuo swung, she felt the cold rushing up from the bottom of her feet, and her whole body felt like falling into an ice cellar.

She clenched her sleeves tightly, remained silent for a while, and said, "I see, I haven't been here today."
