old grace

Taking advantage of the Dongfeng of trying out the mental method of "Big Bending", Fu Chuan just moved back to Sandalwood Xiaozhu.

The two of them didn't show any abnormalities in front of people. Even Shangguan Shiyi didn't know that the eldest disciple had a fight with the younger disciple. Concerned about the unknown truth of the observatory that night.

Since this method is called "Big Bending, No Bending", as the name suggests, there is no ingenuity or subtlety, and it goes straight and straight, only seeking concentration.

Six outer disciples headed by Qi Xinran were selected and became the first batch of lucky ones to try out this method.

Fu Chuan temporarily assumed the duties of the elder of the teaching. He had to take the copy to figure out the exercises first, and then he was responsible for teaching them to Qi Xinran and others.At the same time, he had to record the progress of Qi Xinran and the other six people's daily practice, and pay close attention to various problems that occurred during practice, using this as the original data for Xie Qinghe to improve his mind.

Fu Chuan, who had only been free for half a month, became busy again. Because Qi Xinran and others lived in Sandalwood Xiaozhu, Fu Chuan moved back to Sandalwood Xiaozhu from the Star Observatory to "give advice nearby", and no one felt that strangeness.

Instructing the disciples of the outer sect to practice, this is the biggest event of the Hanjiang Sword Sect in thousands of years besides the Founding Sect!

If the disciples of the outer sect could also cultivate, how many monks would there be in the Hanjiang Sword Sect?Do all ordinary people under the mountain who are scorned as ordinary people also have the opportunity to ascend to the clouds?

The entire Hanjiang Sword Sect fell into an abnormal frenzy. For quite a long time, disciples always gathered together to discuss this matter.

Once Deacon Qi and the others get started successfully, who will be the second batch of outer disciples selected?What are the selection criteria?Can you choose me?

Everyone is envious, everyone is waiting!

Not to mention that Fuchuan is often courted by people, and even the observatory has many foreigners who come to find their way.

The outer disciples who have friendship with Xie Qinghe are about 50 to 80 years old, and some senior brothers who have watched Xie Qinghe grow up are also [-] to [-] years old who have not been buried.If you can't practice Taoism, you will end up becoming old and old step by step. Before you die, you have to fight back with a shy face.

There are no disciples guarding the gate at the observatory, and anyone can enter and exit freely.Ever since, a large group of foreigners brought the wine that the senior brother liked to drink, the tea that the senior senior brother liked to drink, and the food that the senior senior brother liked to eat... Pidianpidian ran to the observatory.

Xie Qinghe didn't have the bad temper of turning his face and denying people when he became the head of the sect. Anyone who came would please sit on the porch.

The observatory received less than three or five guests before the news spread.

The elder brother gave Zhun Xin'er that as long as Qi Xinran and the others practice well, all the outer disciples will have the opportunity to study further!

"Eldest brother said, the practice is not yams in the field. There are only a few acres of land in total. If you divide it, I don't have it. Teach one person, six people, sixty, six What's the difference if there are hundreds of people teaching the exercises? It's nothing more than promoting those who are slightly talented in practice to be our little brothers' helpers, and in the future we can't let the head disciples stare at all the outer disciples to practice, right?"

"Come on, don't worry, everyone. I'm not in a hurry at such an old age, why are you so anxious when you are young?"

"Senior brother will naturally arrange it. Just wait with peace of mind!"

The words were released by several respected foreigners after visiting the observatory, and the credibility is very high.

However, this matter is too urgent.Many outer disciples are still anxious and want to wait for a letter.Half a day later, Chen Yiwei officially announced Hanshan's ups and downs through the Outer Sect Deacon's Office, giving a detailed timetable and selection criteria.

—— Xie Qinghe did not discuss this matter with Fu Chuan, and directly ordered Chen Yiwei to make a public announcement.

Fu Chuan was a little disappointed when he heard the news.If it was in the past, the big brother would ask me.

In the past, Xie Qinghe asked Fu Chuan for advice, but he didn't really expect him to give a good plan. This kind of "inquiry" has two meanings. One is to respect the identity of Fu Chuan's head disciple and express his willingness to let him participate in this matter. Decision-making, and the second is to teach him how to rule.

"Little master." Yun Chao's voice suddenly came from outside the window.

Fu Chuan probed to look, and Yun Chao raised half of his head from under the eaves: "Master, please go to the observatory."

"Why are you hanging on my eaves?" Fu Chuan was puzzled.

Yun Chao was silent for a moment, and said, "I made a bet with someone, and I lost. It was agreed that we should not let our feet touch the ground for three days."

Fu Chuan didn't ask who he bet with so narrowly, but couldn't help but asked curiously: "Are you doing the same thing in front of senior brother?"

Yun Chao sighed: "Why don't you ask who I bet with?"

Fu Chuan took a deep breath and asked in disbelief, "Eldest senior brother?"

Yun Chao defaulted.

Fu Chuan immediately showed sympathy: "Why do you think of betting with senior brother?"

Based on his understanding of Xie Qinghe, if he is not sure of victory, the elder brother will not play with others.Just imagine, how could the majestic head of the Hanjiang Sword Sect let himself be reduced to the embarrassing situation where he would not touch the ground for three days?

Because after sending his son to fly solo, the empty-nest old man feels empty and lonely, right?Yun Chao didn't want to mention this matter again, and asked, "Let's go?"

"Let's go now?" Fu Chuan was also surprised, he thought he had to wait for the outside door to go on business.

Seeing Yun Chao nodding, Fu Chuan hurriedly got up and straightened his clothes in front of the mirror. When he went out, he explained to the outer disciples who were waiting outside. After stepping out of Qingquanxi, he almost trotted to the observatory.Yun Chao really didn't touch the ground all the way, he only used a sword to borrow strength on the road, and flew lightly all the way back to the observatory following Fu Chuan.

It's been less than half a month since I moved out of the observatory, and Xie Qinghe chopped off half of Chenhun Dingxing, so I can only come to say good morning.

The reason is that V fax is very busy.

Taking care of Qi Xinran and other six people's practice is a very energy-consuming task. Xie Qinghe has to record detailed information to improve the practice. Outer disciples have no experience in practicing Taoism, so it is easy to miss details. Chen Yiwei's practice level is really not good.

If Fu Chuan refuses to do things with all his heart, Xie Qinghe must come forward in person.

Xie Qinghe is recovering at a high speed, resting in the observatory for one more day, his body looks much better.How could Fu Chuan be willing to let the elder brother be entangled in trivial matters and delay his health?Naturally, he had to do his best to run his errands, so that senior brother could practice in the observatory with peace of mind.

According to the inner sect's practice method, the introductory homework should have been done in the meridian.The outer disciples who practiced the mental method of "Big Break, No Bending" were changed by Xie Qinghe to practice morning and evening exercises due to lack of aptitude, and their skins could not bear the energy of the sun and the sun.After Fu Chuan took care of the morning classes of several outer disciples, he was able to come to the observatory to greet and serve breakfast in time, but he couldn't make it in the evening, so Xie Qinghe didn't let him come to say good night.

Xie Qinghe said it very politely, it's good to come over for tea later, I have the clear tea you like here.

The problem is, Xie Qinghe's work and rest are regular.After dinner and tea, he was about to do evening class and prepare to rest.

Fu Chuan took good care of Qi Xinran and others to practice in Sandalwood Xiaozhu, and then rushed to the observatory. It happened to be the time when Xie Qinghe was doing evening class and getting ready to rest. Would he have the nerve to break in and drink tea?One or two days is okay, every day I go to delay the senior brother's evening class and delay the senior brother's rest?

Regardless of Xie Qinghe's attitude, Fu Chuan could feel that he was getting further and further away from the observatory.

Standing in front of the familiar door, Fu Chuan hesitated for a moment.Do you go in directly?Or wait for Yun Chao to report?

In the past, it was possible to enter directly.These days, though, it's all about saying good morning.When the eldest brother is disheveled, he can't break in without permission, he has to say hello at the door, and after getting permission, he will open the door and go in.

With just such a slight hesitation, I heard Xie Qinghe's voice inside the door: "Come in."

"Eldest brother." After Fu Chuan entered the door, he regained the familiarity of the past. Xie Qinghe still described An Xian as before, but this time he was not sitting on the couch and was copying the secret book at the desk. When he saw him enter the door, he was putting down his pen and getting up.

"Are you busy today?" Xie Qinghe asked.

"Not busy. When Yun Chao came to see me, I was flipping through idle books." Fu Chuan's so-called idle books are all kinds of ancient paintings on copybooks, which are used for daily appreciation and copying.

"Sit down." Xie Qinghe let him to the side of the couch, sat down as before, and made new tea. Now you know?"

Fu Chuan held the cup obediently: "Well, I saw it."

"What do you think?" Xie Qinghe asked.

Fu Chuan was puzzled by the question.The announcement has been sent out, what do you think of it?

Yun Chao came out with snacks from the kitchen, Xie Qinghe moved the cups on the tea table, and asked Yun Chao to put the pastries in front of Fu Chuan.

This is Fu Chuan's favorite bee sugar cake. The soft cake is sealed with flowing honey juice. When you bite into it, your mouth will be full of raw honey. If you accidentally eat it, your face will be sticky.Xie Qinghe thinks it dirty hands and mouth, because Fu Chuan likes to eat, it often appears on the tea table.

Fu Chuan subconsciously picked up a piece and took a bite. After tasting the sweet honey juice, he suddenly came to his senses.

In the past, Xie Qinghe asked him to "participate" in the decision-making to teach him and guide him. Now after the announcement, he was specially called to the Star Observatory to discuss this matter. This is an exam.First of all, the arrangement made by the elder brother must be correct in the eyes of the elder brother.What he has to do is to answer what is the correctness of the elder brother's arrangement.

Fu Chuan recalled Chen Yiwei's announcement, and suddenly felt a little guilty.

He is a smart man.

He suddenly felt that the elder brother might be teaching him a lesson again.

This made Fu Chuan feel that the bee sugar cake in his hand was not very sweet anymore. After taking a bite and not moving for a long time, the honey in the cake slowly slid down along the cake, down the palm of his hand...

Xie Qinghe couldn't stand it anymore, so he handed him a handkerchief: "Wipe it off."

Only then did Fu Chuan realize that the honey was dripping all over his hands, he quickly put it back on the plate, and wiped his arms carelessly: "It's so sticky."

"Go and wash it." Xie Qinghe said helplessly.

Fu Chuan was familiar with everything, and when he came back from the bed and washed his hands, his thoughts were basically cleared up, and he said: "The announcement that Senior Brother asked Senior Brother Yiwei to send out is very detailed, and the criteria for how to select the second batch of candidates for further studies will be announced one by one. All of you, so that people don’t have to dig around to find out, just work hard, and you can be selected if you meet the standard, it is to show the sincerity of the disciples, and it can also calm people’s hearts and clean up the atmosphere.”

"Eldest brother let it go again, saying that in addition to the standard, some disciples with special talents will be selected."

"In this way, even disciples who fail to meet the standard will have hope and work hard to make progress."

Xie Qinghe poured him a cup of tea and asked, "That's all?"

Fu Chuan glanced at him, then turned to look at the door.

Xie Qinghe said angrily: "This is the observatory."

You can speak freely, and there is absolutely no risk of misrepresentation.

Fu Chuancai chuckled and said, "Eldest brother taught me that governing the sect should not rely on power."

"Back then, senior brother took me to Feixian Caolu to discuss with master the candidates for the first batch of outer sect disciples. Master really didn't want to care about this matter. I obviously had some thoughts in my heart and wanted to recommend two people, but I was in the way Due to various scruples, the elder brother asked me several times, but I refused to give those two names."

"What I was thinking at the time was that if I had the feeling of recommending me, the two of them would inevitably remember my benefits, and it would appear that I was greedy for the merits of the sky, disloyal to the senior brother, and dishonest to the disciples. These days, I still think I'm doing a good job, doing a smart job."

"Now that the senior brother has announced the selection criteria, I realize that my thinking is too narrow."

"Eldest brother is the master of the sect. If the elder brother also has factional views in his heart, he will pass on his kindness to his disciples with his skills, and repay the favor to all disciples. All disciples will naturally follow suit. They will only try to please and form cliques." .Only by showing sincerity and treating them equally can all disciples feel at ease in their practice and enrich themselves, firmly believe that heaven rewards hard work, fight within the sect instead of grabbing each other, and be friendly to each other."

Speaking of this, he changed the subject and said: "However, although this method can clean up the atmosphere in the sect, it is not fair."

"Some people are good at boxing, and some are good at swords. Just like senior brother Chen Yiwei, his practice is not very good, but he is good at medicine, so the master makes an exception and recruits him into the inner sect. If we only use the public standard to select candidates, it is inevitable that there will be some leftovers. It's a pity, so, the senior brother still made an excuse, saying that he will promote some disciples who are not up to the standard but have special skills."

He said the most important sentence: "If you can please the elder brother, it can be regarded as a great specialty, right?"

The general implementation of standardized selection can clean up the atmosphere in the sect and make the entire sect work towards healthy competition. It is also the best way to reduce internal friction.As for the remaining opening, saying that he wants to break the rules and promote disciples with special skills, he puts the power of the head of the school in the open - the reasons given by Fu to Xie Qinghe are all high-sounding, that is, he has learned to play bureaucrats up.

In fact, Fu Chuan is very clear, that is the power possessed by the leader.Xie Qinghe can promote whoever he likes.

Under Xie Qinghe's rule, the techniques are perfect, and Fu Chuan has also learned it like a perfection.

"Let's have dinner at the Observatory tonight." Xie Qinghe chuckled and was very satisfied with the younger brother's answer, "An old friend has returned. Calculating the time, it is almost here. Yun Chao? Go and see?"

Yun Chao hung upside down from the beam, replied: "Yes." He flew out again with a puff.

Fu Chuan couldn't help asking: "Elder brother, what is the bet between you and brother Yun Chao?"

"I said that there are a total of 320 weeds in the observatory. He said that I can't know, it must be nonsense. I asked him to count it." Xie Qinghe said.

You two are boring enough.Fu Chuan laughed dryly, but couldn't help asking: "Is there really 320 four weeds?"

Xie Qinghe raised his eyelids to look at him: "Do you want to count it too?"

"Hehe, of course I..."

Fu Chuan really ran out to count the weeds.

After counting the weeds on the edge of the cliff, Fu Chuan knew he had been tricked.

There are nearly 320 weeds in a clump of weeds on the edge of the cliff alone. How big is the entire observatory?Are you afraid that there will be thousands of weeds?However, even if the number of weeds is more than [-], what can he do?Can he expose Xie Qinghe and say that he is wrong?

Then it wasn't that Yun Chao lost, but Xie Qinghe lost.Let Xie Qinghe not touch the ground for three consecutive days?

... so rascal.

Unlucky brother Yun Chao must also know that he was cheated.

However, Yun Chao is so obedient, does he dare to let the "Master" head down?He dare not.Therefore, no matter how many weeds there are in the observatory, Xie Qinghe said that he has 320 and 320, that is [-] and [-].

Yun Chao just opened his eyes and told nonsense, admitting against his conscience that he lost the bet, Fu Chuan was different.

Anyway, being idle is idle, so Fu Chuan cleaned up all the weeds on the observatory to ensure the correctness of the big brother's nonsense.

——The weeds on the observatory must be one thousand three hundred and twenty four!

Xie Qinghe was sitting in front of the window, drinking tea while copying the secret book, watching Fu Chuan squatting on the ground pulling weeds, he couldn't help smiling.

Not long after, Shi Qin came back with big and small bags of ingredients and saw Fu Chuan pulling weeds, he was a little puzzled: "Little brother, what are you doing?"

Fu Chuan waved his hand: "I'm busy."

Shi Qin was confused, and approached the window to salute Xie Qinghe, Xie Qinghe smiled and nodded: "It's okay. You can do your work."

Fu Chuan, who was pulling weeds, suddenly came to his senses, and flew to the kitchen door, blocking Shi Qin's way: "Don't go into the kitchen. Senior brother doesn't like your spicy dishes!"

Shi Qin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I can also cook non-spicy dishes."

Fu Chuan took the food basket in his hand and said, "Brother, do you allow you to enter the kitchen?"

Shi Qin sighed and shook his head.

"Then go drink tea with senior brother." Fu Chuan picked up the vegetable basket and prepared to make dinner.

Shi Qin went back to the window and looked at Xie Qinghe.Xie Qinghe hinted that he would go to the kitchen quickly to snatch Fu Chuan's qualification to be the chef.Shi Qin's cooking is quite spicy, but Fu Chuan's cooking is a skill that can only be made with noodles... It's fine for breakfast, there are still guests coming tonight.

Shi Qin avoided Xie Qinghe's gaze, looked at the sky and the ground.

Xie Qinghe had no choice but to put on his shoes and stay in bed.what to do?Do it yourself!

"Brother, why are you here? The cook is full of smoke, so don't smoke your face." Fu Chuan said pleasantly.

Xie Qinghe knew that he liked to stay with him, so he found a chair and sat down in the kitchen, and said, "I'll teach you how to cook. Prepare the dishes first, and I'll see what dishes are available..."

Fu Chuan was very happy, and happily sorted out the vegetable basket, and listened to Xie Qinghe's instructions, everything that should be cut, washed, and prepared one by one.

People who practice martial arts all the year round have very strong execution ability.Xie Qinghe pointed out, and Fu Chuan followed his instructions, and every step was executed perfectly.The mutton was served in a steamer, and the steamed chicken was stewed in soup. Xie Qinghe even instructed Fu Chuan to make a squirrel mandarin fish himself. After two bites, Fu Chuan picked up most of the meat.

"Did I cook too deliciously?" Fu Chuan's eyes were shining again, begging for praise!

Xie Qinghe nodded: "Well, you did a good job. You can also be a chef at the foot of the mountain."

When the sun was setting, Xie Qinghe's guests arrived.

Fu Chuan untied his apron, went out with Xie Qinghe, saw a familiar figure from a distance, and said in astonishment: "Uncle Li!"

He ran forward two steps, looked up and down the blessed Li Qian several times, and couldn't help hugging the old man: "Uncle Li, why did you become so fat? You look like a rich man!" Did climbing the mountain wear you out?"

Li Qian grew a beard, wore silk and satin, and wore eight gemstone rings on his hands, and his whole body shone with the breath of a local rich man.

He also excitedly looked up and down Fu Chuan for a long time, seeing that Fu Chuan was healthy and beautiful, he said, "The little master has grown taller, but he doesn't gain much flesh!"

Fu Chuan squeezed his belly, laughed and said, "It's not easy to be like Uncle Li hahaha."

At this moment Xie Qinghe came over, Li Qian let go of Fu Chuan, stepped forward to salute: "Meet the Immortal Elder!"

Xie Qinghe stretched out his hand to support him, and said, "I haven't seen you for many years, you look fine. I want to thank you for taking good care of Fu Chuan these years."

Fu Chuan held Li Qian's arm excitedly, and couldn't help grinning when he heard the elder brother say thank you to Uncle Li.

Uncle Li is naturally his own person, but Uncle Li is his own person arranged for him by the elder brother!After all, no matter if it's Senior Brother or Uncle Li, they are the ones who love him the most.The two most beloved elders stood together, Fu Chuan was overjoyed.

Li Qian couldn't help but patted the back of Fu Chuan's hand, and said excitedly: "The fairy leader led me to Hanshan and gave me this future. I really dare not say that I took care of the little master. I did some more What? I just did my duty. The little master gave me wealth and honor for half my life."

He pressed Fu Chuan's hand, and was extremely excited: "Now the little master has given me another fairy fate. I am really... three lives lucky to be able to serve such a good boy."

Bestowed with a celestial relationship?Fu Chuan couldn't help looking at Xie Qinghe.

Xie Qinghe smiled slightly, and said: "Come in and sit down. Today's welcome banquet was made by Fu Chuan himself, let's chat while eating."

The welcome banquet is to sit at one table and not divide the seats.

Li Qian is Fu Chuan's old servant in name, but in fact he is no different from his elders. Fu Chuan respects him very much. Li Qian's face was full of red, and when he talked about the old things, he almost shed tears.

Li Qian, who was drunk, lived in the Langxuan, Shi Qin gave him a room to make a bed, and went to spend the night with Yun Chao by himself.

Only then did Fu Chuan have time to ask about this matter: "Eldest senior brother, you called Uncle Li back because you want to... teach him the method of "Big Bending"?"

Xie Qinghe didn't answer his question, but instead asked: "The two people you wanted to recommend at the beginning, one is Li Qian, and the other is who?"

Fu Chuan knew that what he expected was right.Xie Qinghe summoned Li Qian back to Hanshan in his name, and wanted to bestow Li Qian with a celestial relationship, it was his thoughts that were considered.He had nothing to lie to Xie Qinghe, after thinking about it, he answered honestly: "Lu Dan."

Lu Dan is a donkey egg.

Donkey Dan was weak and was abandoned by his biological father, so he abandoned his surname, and asked Xie Qinghe for his name.

Xie Qinghe pushed the matter to Fu Chuan.Who knows that Fu Chuan is very easy, so he gave a homonym, usually it is a donkey egg donkey egg screaming happily, Xie Qinghe felt a little sorry for the child - if he had known that the younger brother was so unreliable, he would have given it to the child himself. I have a name.

On the contrary, Lu Dan himself didn't care at all.The name Donkey Dan was given by my mother.He didn't feel bad about it.

It's just that he lives in Miaomiao Mountain and wants to study and practice in the future. It's very indecent to call him a donkey egg, so he got a scientific name.He thought about it more deeply. In case his health recovers in the future, when he walks in the rivers and lakes and announces his name, he can't say that I am a disciple of the Hanjiang Sword Sect, right?This is to make the evil heretics laugh to death!

Lu Dan was born with a lack of talent, so it was difficult to practice martial arts, let alone immortal fate.Fu Chuan wondered if he could use this to restore his health.

The heart method of "Big Bending" is born out of the little fat girl and the reincarnation tree, the small circle of practice of love but not bitterness. As the spirit of the magic weapon, the little fat girl is inherently deficient. The situation is ten thousand times worse than that of Lu Dan.She can use this to cultivate, and Lu Dan can naturally use this to strengthen her body. If there is external help, she can even practice forcibly to enter the Tao.

Xie Qinghe nodded, and said: "He is still young, and his entry time is short, so it is not good to make an exception too early. Wait for another two years."

This is promised.

Fu Chuan quickly knelt down: "Thank you, senior brother."

■

"Why haven't you left yet?" Xie Qinghe glanced out the window.

Yun Chao sat cross-legged in front of Xie Qinghe, drinking tea and eating cakes, with a smirk on his face: "The little master said, pull the weeds on the observatory to the right number, and then leave."
