old grace

After Xie Qinghe took out the engraved mental method secret book, he copied two more copies while it was still early.

One will be submitted to Shangguan Shiyi, and the other will be handed over to Fu Chuan.This is not a trivial matter for Yun Chao to send errands. The mental method of "Big Break and No Bending" can lower the threshold of practice, and make the Hanjiang Sword Sect have countless inner monks. For Pai, it is also a major change that can shake the current internal and external structure.

Xie Qinghe planned to take Fu Chuan with him and go to Feixian Caolu in person to discuss this matter with Shangguan Shiyi in detail.

In the evening of this day, Fu Chuan came back to have dinner with Xie Qinghe as usual.

Xie Qinghe told him: "Tomorrow, I will temporarily take a break from the errands in the outer gate, and go to Feixian Caolu with me in the morning."

Seeing that Fu Chuan was puzzled, Xie Qinghe gave him the transcribed copy and briefly explained the matter.

"I used to try this in the enchanted world. Whether it will succeed here or not, we have to take a step to see. Tomorrow, you will go to see the master with me, and first select a few suitable candidates from the outer sect to cultivate. If you succeed Enter the Tao and build a foundation, and then talk about other things." Xie Qinghe said.

Xie Qinghe said very politely, he wanted to discuss this with Shangguan Shiyi, Fu Chuan knew very well in his heart that going to Feixian thatched cottage was just a formality.

When the master did not abdicate, he liked to be a god. The master never objected to what the elder brother said. Now that the master has abdicated, he is dedicated to practicing in seclusion and never hinders the elder brother.

The matter of picking someone from the outer sect is too critical and sensitive, almost equivalent to giving permission to go directly to the inner sect, and the master will definitely not interfere.

After all, grace comes from above.

This great benefit can only be given by Xie Qinghe, who is the head of the sect, so as not to shake the foundation of Hanjiang Sword Sect's rule.

"Understood." Fu Chuan agreed.

He also made up his mind to shut up honestly and never meddle in this matter casually.

Eldest brother can pick whoever he wants, no recommendation or objection, just bring your ears to Feixian Caolu to serve tea tomorrow.

After dinner, Yun Chao cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks, while Fu Chuan got up as usual to serve tea for Xie Qinghe.

While drinking tea, Xie Qinghe asked him if he had made any progress in his recent practice.

This question is easy to answer.

Xie Qinghe trusted Fu Chuan, as long as Fu Chuan said what homework he had done recently, Xie Qinghe would only ask him what he didn't understand, and answer his doubts, he would not ask whether what he said was true or false, let alone try it out His depth is to confirm whether he has really improved.

However, Fu Chuan picked up a small teapot to pour tea for Xie Qinghe, and said respectfully but without any euphemism: "In the past few days, I have been doing business in Qingquanxi during the day, and I have been in the guest house for several nights in a row, accompanying Yan Shaoying and Miss Yan, flower girl."

The implication is that there is no time to practice and study at all, and the studies are completely wasted.

This is simply deliberate provocation.

Xie Qinghe stopped serving tea for a moment, and couldn't help but look at Fu Chuan's expression.

This doesn't look like Fu Chuan's temper.

Fu Chuan's practice is extremely hard, otherwise, it is impossible to have good kung fu at a young age.

Taking a ten thousand step back, even if Fu Faxing feels that his position is stable, and he is no longer as diligent and hardworking as before, will normal children feel a little bit ashamed and afraid when they are questioned by their elders?Even if you dare not lie, you still have to find some excuses for yourself, right?

At the very least, he should also pretend to reflect on himself immediately, and say something like "I have been slack these days, and I will change it tomorrow"?

Not so with Fu Chuan.

He deliberately said that he wasted his studies. When Xie Qinghe looked at him, he got up and stood aside, bowing his head obediently.

Xie Qinghe thought for a while and asked, "Are you so busy with the affairs of the outer sect now? It's been two months and you haven't got it done yet?"

This reaction exceeded Fu Chuan's expectations.

He raised his head and opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

The affairs of the Outer Sect were not that complicated. The Outer Sect system, which was able to operate freely as early as the Shangguan Shiyi period, had gone through two hands-off shopkeepers, so it would not be so busy for Fu Chuan alone.Xie Qinghe assigned Fu Chuan an extremely worry-free team, he didn't need to handle the specific matters personally, all the house owners were extremely capable, and sometimes assisted the general manager, it's been almost three months, so there is nothing unclear business?

"It's not that I'm busy." Fu Chuan couldn't lie, because he couldn't hide it from the elder brother.

Xie Qinghe also lived in Waimen Town when he was young, and he personally patrolled the mountains for three years, and he still did not delay his practice.If Fu Chuan insisted that the outer sect was too busy, he was afraid that his senior brother would despise his IQ, "There are so many trifles, if there is a hammer here and a stick here, someone will always come to trouble."

The reason he found in a hurry was extremely unconvincing, and Xie Qinghe immediately gave a solution: "Set a time every day and ask the bottom to answer. Can you still keep watch at twelve hours a day? Are you serving as their servant, or are they in the office?" Are you the footman?"

Fu Chuan did just that.It's a pity that I lied earlier, so now I can only pretend to be enlightened, and accept the senior brother's guidance: "Yes. I will implement it like this in the future, and I won't be so busy when I think about it."

"Since the affairs of the outer sect are on the right track, you don't have to stay at the mountain gate every day." Xie Qinghe's attitude was very lenient, and he made clear arrangements for the younger brother, "Aren't your children studying in Zhibao Cave? What? You have freed up the time during the day and went to Zhibao Cave to accompany you, and you will not be delayed in schoolwork and games, and you can play to your heart's content at night."

Fu Chuanman thought he would be scolded.

Who would have thought that instead of reprimanding him, the elder brother would help him think of a way, and teach him how to fish and play better...

"Yes. I see." Fu Chuan concealed the disappointment in his heart, and returned an extremely cute smile.

After brewing a pot of tea three times, it was time to change the tea.

Xie Qinghe looked out the window to see the sky, took the initiative to use the tea set, and no longer let Fu Chuan make tea and serve him.

Fu Chuan was forced to sit aside, looking at the slender and fair fingers of the elder brother, while rejoicing that the elder brother had taken good care of him during this time, and finally gradually recovered his health, and asked in puzzlement, "Eldest brother?"

"It's getting late." Xie Qinghe took back all of Fu Chuan's teacups, "Go and play by yourself."

It was originally an extremely common sentence.

Fu Chuan's morning and evening Dingsheng all follow the ancient etiquette and are very well-mannered. Banban Zhengzheng regards the elder brother as his father and greets him.

Who would a normal child like to set rules in front of the elders?Xie Qinghe stayed with him to drink tea, mainly to ask about his homework and help him solve doubts about his practice.Since there is no problem with homework, there is no need to keep Fu Chuan by his side to serve tea and water. Naturally, let him go out to play.

Taking the cup also didn't treat Fu Chuan as an outsider.If Fu Fax wanted to stay, wouldn't Xie Qinghe be willing to give him a cup of tea?

Today's Fu Chuan mood is unusual.

After some probing before, not only did not receive the desired response, Xie Qinghe rubbed it back calmly.

He also knew that he didn't think it was reasonable, so he didn't intend to mention it again.Unexpectedly, Xie Qinghe was collecting cups and bluntly chasing people away, as if he wished to tell him to go to the guest room quickly, and Fu Chuan rushed forward in an instant——

Since he met Xie Qinghe, he has been treated leniently by Xie Qinghe, so he doesn't have much taboo in front of Xie Qinghe.

At this moment, Fu Chuan dared to ask intentionally: "I've been in the Guest Hall for the past few days, 'delaying my practice', won't senior brother ask me?"

For a while, there was only the sound of tea leaves being stretched in boiling water.

Xie Qinghe didn't speak.

After a brief silence, the newly brewed tea was ready, and he began to pour it.

"If you really delayed your practice, I will naturally ask you to do so." Xie Qinghe's expression was neither happy nor angry, and he couldn't see any emotion.

Fu Chuan sat still at the tea table, so he put the teacup back for Fu Chuan and added new tea.The hand holding the pot and pouring the tea is extremely steady, and the tea soup is poured out of the pot without any anxiety.At the same time, Xie Qinghe asked back: "Did you really delay your practice?"

Fu Chuan was dumbfounded when asked.

The truth is as Xie Qinghe said, he did not delay his practice.

He said that he was at the outer gate during the day and at the Guest House at night.Originally, he deliberately misled Xie Qinghe, wanting Xie Qinghe to think that he was wasting his studies.

In fact, he had a lot of free time at the outer gate during the day, so he had enough time to practice spear skills. At night, he went to the Guest House to chat and laugh with Yan Shaoying and others. It benefits more than practicing alone.

It wasn't until Xie Qinghe took his teacup away that he felt that he was not taken seriously, so he deliberately brought up the topic of "delaying schoolwork".

Xie Qinghe's rhetorical question hit the point.

You didn't delay your studies at all, so how can I blame you?

——I've seen through your small calculations a long time ago. I didn't expose them face to face to show you face. Are you still reluctant?

"Is it because the eldest brother knows that I can't be naughty, so he doesn't care about me?" Fu Chuan took a sip of tea, feeling a little bitter.

Xie Qinghe looked at him puzzled: "What do you mean I don't care about you?"

Fu Chuan shook his head, and changed his words: "No. I was wrong. Senior brother has always been very kind to me."

"You are a sensible and worry-free child. The outer door is well-organized, and you are diligent in your homework. Since there is nothing wrong with it, how can I 'care' about you? You eat with me all day long. There are always dishes you like, and I have special time to talk with you and explain homework for you... Do you think this is 'not caring' about you?" Xie Qinghe asked.

In fact, Xie Qinghe knows why Fu Chuan is not satisfied, why he feels that he is not being cared for.

During this period of time, he was indeed deliberately alienating Fu Chuan, deliberately driving Fu Chuan out of his life.

The reason is simple, in order to get rid of Fu Chuan's unrealistic illusions about him, he must let Fu Chuan live younger and freer.

Only when you are with your peers can you have more common topics, and only when you are with your peers can you play more indulgently.

For Fu Chuan, Xie Qinghe is indeed a towering tree that can shelter the wind and rain, but this big tree will also hinder the growth of Fu Chuan, and the shade of the tree that blocks the sky will prevent Fu Chuan from bathing in the sun freely.He is so convinced of Xie Qinghe, Xie Qinghe says one thing, he will never believe another, with Xie Qinghe's side, he can't control the right to speak at all, once he is guided and influenced for a long time, he will even gradually lose himself.

What's more, Xie Qinghe's alienation is not blunt.

He still cares about Fu Chuan's academic practice, combs Fu Chuan's hair, and chats with Fu Chuan from time to time.

At any time, he would never let Fu Chuan feel that he was not welcome.He made Fu Chuan still very sure that the senior brother would not reject him, the senior senior brother cared about himself, and the senior senior senior brother had the best and most sincere heart for him.

——Otherwise, Fu Chuan wouldn't have done such a childish thing today.

It was precisely because Xie Qinghe understood this point that when Fu Chuan was stupid, he did not expose it, but covered it up very gently.

Who would have thought that Fu Chuan's next speech would become even more dangerous.

What do you mean by "elder brother knows that I can't be naughty, so he doesn't care about me"?If you don't quickly stop this momentum, will this kid be really naughty the next time he messes up again?If for this kind of thing, Fu Chuan really ruined his character, or delayed his studies to gain attention, it would be too much for the loss.

This is why Xie Qinghe suddenly turned his face and questioned.

Nothing is as important as Fu Chuan's growth.

This kind of stupid behavior must be nipped in the bud, but it must never be done again, let alone allow Fu Chuan to escalate the situation in order to achieve his goal.

Xie Qinghe wanted to teach him a lesson, how could Fu Chuan stand up to it?

After a few questions, Fu Chuan retreated in succession. He had to stand up and bow his head to make amends: "It was my mistake. Master, please calm down."

"You don't want to go out today." Xie Qinghe issued a foot restraint order.

Fu Chuan nodded repeatedly, and his attitude of admitting his mistake was very sincere: "Yes, yes."

Unexpectedly, Xie Qinghe followed closely: "Go back to the room and think about it carefully, what exactly is the big brother sorry for you?"

The nature of the three words "I'm sorry" is too serious, Fu Chuan immediately knelt down in a hurry, and explained in a panic: "Eldest senior brother, I have never thought about it that way. I was wrong, I...I just..." He trembled for a few words, but still couldn't understand after all.

Xie Qinghe deliberately distanced himself from him, but he really couldn't be called "ignoring" him. He loved and cared for him as before, but lost a lot of intimacy.

But what Fu Chuan wanted was the intimacy that had been withdrawn.

This thought was extremely obscure and obscure, and it was clearly rejected by Xie Qinghe, so Fu Chuan couldn't explain it.

Xie Qinghe achieved the effect he wanted with just a few words, and he was better than anyone else at manipulating people's hearts.At this moment, Fu Chuan was so anxious that his face turned pale, and he was in so much pain that he couldn't speak. From then on, he would never dare to provoke or invite pets again.

Xie Qinghe knew that he should keep a straight face, wave his hand to tell Fu Chuan to go back to the house immediately, stop his feet and think about his mistakes.

Still soft-hearted after all.This child has a poor background and cannot be favored. He has a lot to bear at such a young age.Doing some stupid things today is just hoping that I will care about him more, so I will train him so fiercely?

After all, this is the child that Xie Qinghe personally carried back from the scene of the fire, and it once brought hope to Xie Qinghe in desperation.

His feelings for Fu Chuan are different from everyone else in the world.

This special feeling made Xie Qinghe hesitate for a moment, reached out and patted the edge of the couch, and said, "Get up first, sit down and talk if you have something to say."

Fu Chuan didn't know that he got another special treatment, Xie Qinghe suddenly turned his face and reprimanded him, it was not in his plan at all, it was also the first time he was treated like this by the elder brother, both knees were soft, he couldn't help shaking his head in frustration : "Eldest brother is angry."

"Get up, here is tea. I'll explain this to you." Xie Qinghe refills the hot tea and asks Fu to sit again.

Fu Chuan reconfirmed Xie Qinghe's expression, and saw that he was not angry, so he stood up and sat down.

Even so, when he sat down, he was also in a low mood, holding his teacup with his head down, and there was still a trace of moisture on his eyelashes.Xie Qinghe said "I'm sorry for you", which was very harsh to him and hurt too much.

"You did one thing wrong today." Xie Qinghe said.

Fu Chuan buried his head even lower, almost hitting the teacup: "Well, I was wrong."

"You think I'm not as close to you as I used to be recently, and you deliberately told me that you haven't practiced well these days, and you want to see how I react, don't you? If I get angry and reprimand you, will you be happy? Treat me If you lose your temper, tell me again that although you are busy every day, you have actually done your homework. You have always been that diligent and motivated little junior. You have found out my heart and will not spoil your impression in my heart. , maybe I will apologize to you a little bit?" Xie Qinghe asked.

Fu Chuan opened his mouth, wanting to refute that this is not the case, think about it carefully, isn't it true?

He really cares too much about his impression in the heart of the senior brother, he is not even willing to be really naughty and reckless, and there will be a "misunderstanding" if he has a sense of existence.

It was obviously just a moment of depression, and I deliberately provoked the senior brother once, and was contacted by the senior brother, but it proved that I was an unreasonable and narrow-minded man, and I insisted on making trouble for the senior brother... This is really annoying .

Fu Chuan was extremely ashamed, Huo Di stood up and said, "I know I was wrong! I won't dare again in the future."

Without waiting for Xie Qinghe to say anything else, he turned around and walked out.

Xie Qinghe was left dumbfounded.

Before he got to the point, he just started, and Fu Chuan ran away?

What kind of rule is this?Even if Fu Chuan was not made to kneel down, it was meant as a lesson.Before the senior brother could finish his sentence, the junior junior turned around and ran away angrily.How much bigger is this trained temper than the trainer?

Yun Chao listened to the whole process by the side, and now he came in cautiously: "Master?"

"You find a place to squat down." Xie Qinghe waved him to hide quickly.

If Yun Chao was watching from the side, it would be difficult for Xie Qinghe to coax Fu Chuan. After all, besides being a senior brother, he also has the identity of the head of the sect.

After Yun Chao got the order, he went out to the narrow and long mountain road outside the observatory, running as fast as possible.

The little master seems to have reached the stage of rebellion, and even if he finds fault with him, he still dares to turn around and run away... Tsk tsk, that's amazing.Being a son is nothing to fear!However, father-son fights are generally not good-looking, and outsiders will suffer if they are not careful, so it is better to find a place next door to watch the moon...

Xie Qinghe sat on the spot and drank two more cups of tea, calculating that Fu Chuan's mood should be better, so he put on his wooden clogs and went out.

Fuchuan's house was quiet, the door was closed, and the lights were not even turned on.

Xie Qinghe stood outside for a while before stepping onto the wooden corridor.He didn't step lightly on purpose, Fu Chuan could definitely hear his footsteps.

There was still no movement in the house.

Xie Qinghe had no choice but to knock on the door and asked: "If you are in the house, open the door. I'm not here to reprimand you, just finish what I said."

Fortunately, Fu Chuan did not pretend not to hear, and walked over upon hearing the sound.Xie Qinghe was thinking that he was going to open the door, how could he know that Fu Chuan held the door with his back, and was a little afraid to prevent Xie Qinghe from pushing the door forcibly?Xie Qinghe's teeth itch suddenly.

Through a door, Fu Chuan whispered, "Elder brother, let's go to bed earlier."

"It was me who caused some things for no reason, which delayed senior brother's cultivation and disturbed his mood. I...Since I did it on purpose, I don't deserve to let senior brother distract you from teaching. I once promised to senior brother that I will let you Senior brother is pampered and well-rested in Hanshan, not caring about everything. Today, he broke his promise and broke his promise, worrying senior brother about trifles..." Fu Chuan's voice was choked up, very ashamed and regretful.

For a moment, Xie Qinghe didn't know what to say.

From Fu Chuan's point of view, even kneeling in front of the elder brother and being reprimanded by the elder brother is still a favor bestowed by the elder brother.

If you deliberately make trouble and plan, you don't deserve to be disciplined by the senior brother.Therefore, after he realized the absurdity of what he had done, he turned around and ran away, not listening to Xie Qinghe's lessons anymore.He felt that he was not worthy of training.

Xie Qinghe once again felt that his decision to talk to him was correct.This child can only teach with his heart and cannot tolerate any means.

"Open the door." Xie Qinghe made his tone as gentle and comforting as possible, "I'm not here to teach you a lesson."

This is the second time Xie Qinghe asked to open the door.

Fu Chuan also knew Xie Qinghe's uncompromising temper, if he blocked the elder brother from the door again, he would probably make the elder brother unhappy.

Fu Chuan inside the door struggled for a while before slowly opening the door.

"Eldest brother, go to rest earlier, I know I'm wrong, and I won't dare to do it again." Fu Chuan's eyes were a little wet, but he didn't cry, he just looked very ashamed and regretful, and even more ashamed that he didn't dare to look directly at Xie Qinghe, "There will be no such absurd things in the future."

"Aren't you going to invite me in?" Xie Qinghe asked.

Fu Chuan had to turn sideways to let Xie Qinghe in.

The room was pitch black, he went to light the lamp first, and when he looked back, Xie Qinghe had already sat down on the couch.

"Come and sit, let's talk." Xie Qinghe pushed the tea table on the couch to the west to make room, and patted his knees, "When you are sad, you can rest on the elder brother's lap, Tell the elder brother."

Fu Chuan recalled the past.

At that time, he and Xie Qinghe were still on their way to Beijing, and at that time he thought that senior brother was Master Yan.

When he was sad, he would curl up and pillow on the elder brother's leg, and the elder brother would touch his head, comfort him, and relieve him.

It's been...a long time since I've had that kind of intimacy.

He approached slowly and sat down on the couch.Xie Qinghe patted his knees again, and Fu Chuancai slowly lay down on his knees, pillowing his right leg, curled up on the couch, and slowly closed his eyes.

"You didn't make this incident for nothing." Xie Qinghe untied his hair bun, letting his tight scalp relax, "You know I'm alienating you, and you feel hurt. Everything you did today , it’s all my fault. I should have explained it to you a long time ago.”

Fu Chuan's hand hidden in his sleeve was clenched into a fist, clenched little by little.

"When playing with children of the same age, is it very relaxed and happy?" Xie Qinghe asked.

Fu Chuan didn't move and didn't speak.

"Junior brother, I am much older than you, and you admire me too much. I have too much authority over you. No matter what I say or do to you, you will never doubt or raise any objections. If you stay with me for a long time, you will become the second Xie Qinghe, if you are unlucky, you will only become Xie Qinghe's shadow."

"You have to live the life that young people should have. You have your own circle of friends, your own residence, and your own world."

"Actually, if you think about it carefully, I have never given you less time than before, right? We still eat together, live together in the observatory, and whenever you come to me, I will accompany you—"

He didn't know how these words touched Fu Chuan's sore spot, he opened his eyes suddenly and sat up, and said emotionally.

"Yes! You are right!"

"You are as good to me as before. You give me no less time than before. You just think that I want to stay away from you!"

"Is it that important to play with Yan Shaoying and the others? Is it that important to socialize with young people? Whose elders don't teach their children to grow up and work hard, and tell them to play with friends every day?!—You just don't want me to stay with you anymore by my side!"

"If I hadn't told Eldest Brother about being a Taoist companion, would Elder Brother still 'alienate' me so much?"

Fu Chuan's chest couldn't stop rising and falling, and his face was flushed red: "Since I was granted the title by Senior Brother, I have given up all the thoughts I shouldn't have. Senior Senior Brother has such high expectations for me, how dare I slack off in the slightest?" Flaws? I am so well-behaved that I don’t dare to make a mistake, and the senior brother will push me out, wishing I could live in the guest house—”

"I'm moving! Can't I move?" Fu Chuan wiped away his tears, "I'll go back to Sandalwood Xiaozhu tomorrow!"
