Refusing to work overtime for the teacher

The lines on the astrolabe intersect vertically and horizontally, and each intersecting point represents a star. When spiritual power is injected, divination begins, and the dots are connected into a line, which indicates the trajectory of life.But the moment Xiao Xun's fingertips of light fell on the astrolabe, it was like a drop of water meeting a river and sea, and disappeared in an instant.

Not a single star line was lit.

Xiao Xun showed a strange and puzzled expression.He lingered on his hand and the astrolabe for a moment, then raised his head to look in the direction of Xie Ling, twisted his fingers again, and placed the astrolabe carefully.

The result is still the same, the astrolabe is like a night covered with dark clouds, without any light shining.

Xiao Xun's expression became serious, he put down the astrolabe, and pondered.

As for divination, the accuracy of the conclusion is related to the realm, but it is not completely determined by the realm.This is a road that is destined to be taken by only a few people. It pays attention to the relationship between people and the sky, and needs to be friendly to the sun, moon and stars.

In short, talent.

He learned the art of astrology on the snowy plateau.It is the closest place to the sky in the entire continent, and it is sunny for two-thirds of the year.He stayed there for five years, during which more than 1000 days and nights were illuminated by the stars.

He is familiar with the power of the stars, the position of each star, and the distribution of each constellation, as if he is familiar with his own veins.

For a seeker of the Tao, five years is nothing more than a fleeting moment, so short that it is insignificant.Naturally, it is impossible for Xiao Xun to master astrological calculation to the extreme, but he still dares to say that the Xuanye Pavilion, which focuses on the study of divination and astrological calculation, has no opponent below the realm of extinction.

The Nirvana Realm is the fourth realm of cultivation, and in the entire Xuanye Pavilion, only the pavilion owner has reached this realm.

After a long while, Xiao Xun decided to try another occupant.

This time, it was someone he met in the Xuanzhen Peak trial who was quite pleasing to the eye, who happened to know the name and some specific information.

Still in the same process, the fingertips gathered spiritual power and lightly tapped on the astrolabe.In an instant, Guanghua water flowed across the disk, and a star line with nine bends and ten turns lit up.

If the calculation is successful, there may be too many twists and turns in this life.Xiao Xun couldn't bear to take a second look, and wiped away the star lines with a flick of his hand.

At the same time, Xiao Xun came to a conclusion: Xie Ling's past, present and future are like a fog and cannot be accounted for.

As expected of Mr. Xuesheng, a hermit who hides very deeply, a powerful monk who does not easily show his way in the world.

Xiao Xun glanced in Xie Ling's direction again, put away the astrolabe, got up and went back to bed.

Xie Ling had a busy day and fell asleep very quickly, but his body routine made him wake up early, and before dawn outside the window, he couldn't fall asleep with his eyes wide open.

He was lazy and didn't want to climb out of bed to check the time by the water clock, so he just stared at the top of the bed, reviewing the information collected yesterday, trying to recall more plots of the book.

What he wants to know is of course about himself, but the memories are all about those settings and histories:

Lord Xuesheng is very powerful, Lord Xuesheng is even more powerful than the suzerain, Lord Xuesheng seldom makes shots in the arena, but he has never been defeated.After the protagonist joins the sect, what will happen in the present progress and in the future, apart from accompanying the protagonist to work overtime to practice, devoting all his heart and soul to inventing exercises for him, and going to heaven and earth to find materials for him to make swords, there are no other plots. I can't even remember it at all.

This is very similar to Qu Yuan's "Li Sao" he memorized in high school. Even if he barely memorized it the first day, when the teacher randomly checked it, his mind went blank, and the last sentence couldn't follow the previous sentence, and he really couldn't remember the whole text.What's more, the novel was much longer than "Li Sao", and he hadn't read the full text by heart.

Forget it, just muddle along like this.

The efforts on this matter came to an end, and the sky gradually lit up outside the window. Xie Ling got out of bed, washed, dressed, replaced the old water in the water clock with the fresh water from last night, glanced at the time, Stretched and went out.

The air in the mountains is fresh, the morning breeze is cool, and the dew is not clear between the grass leaves.Xie Ling thought to himself that this was probably one of the few benefits in ancient times. The door of the small building diagonally opposite creaked open, and a boy in red and silver hair came out.

Xiao Xun didn't seem to wake up yet, his eyelids were half-closed, his steps were slow, and he even wobbled a little when he walked.But when he saw Xie Ling, he immediately straightened his posture, his eyes became focused, he bowed his hands to Xie Ling, and said, "Master."

Xie Ling was planning to put a sundial in the courtyard, when Xiao Xun suddenly appeared, he was more or less frightened.But after thinking about it, he is the owner of this place, and the sundial is not something to be shady, so he simply flicked his sleeves and moved the sundial from the mustard space to the center of the courtyard.

And threw two words to Xiao Xun: "Sundial." The notification is the same as the introduction.

Xiao Xun walked not far away from Xie Ling, lowered his eyes to glance at the extra objects in the courtyard, and said, "Apprentice recognizes it."

"People's time is limited, cherish the time." Xie Ling said with a calm expression on his face, seemingly casually.

After speaking, he planned to turn around and leave.Xiao Xun looked puzzled: "But Master, aren't we practitioners cultivating the Tao for the purpose of cultivating infinite time?"

When Xie Ling heard such a question, a sentence popped into his mind: In the world, there is only infinity approaching infinity, and there is no real infinity.He met Xiao Xun's eyes.The young man's eyes are very dark, as if they were dyed with ink, they are clear and penetrating under the gradually brightening sky.

Being young is innocent, and the questions asked are so true, Xie Ling couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

He changed his mind and asked Xiao Xun: "What do you think is infinity?"

"Infinity is infinity, it is eternity." Xiao Xun replied with downcast eyes, after a few times of thinking, he hesitated to speak, stopped speaking and wanted to speak.

Xie Ling believes that these two concepts cannot be equated. Eternity exists forever, while infinity is a value.He didn't point out this point, but said: "Then what is eternity? Or, what do you think is eternity."

This time, Xiao Xun said without hesitation, "The Way of Heaven."

The way of heaven, the law of heaven's operation, is also the law of the universe.Xie Ling replaced the nouns with similar ones, thinking that the universe will explode one day, how can the way of heaven exist forever.

"How to prove it?" Xie Ling asked another question.

Xiao Xun was astonished when asked.He was really shocked. Which practitioner in this world—especially a righteous practitioner would question the way of heaven?His eyes are wide open, his brows are raised, and his mouth is slightly opened, which is quite cute.

Xie Ling couldn't help but reach out and rub the child's head, messing up his neatly combed hair.He controlled his hand, and concluded with a conclusion: "So it may not be eternal."

Based on the principle of saying too many mistakes, wronging people, and not bullying children, he stopped discussing this issue with Xiao Xun, turned around and walked towards the main hall.

Xiao Xun restrained his surprised expression, and saluted Xie Ling's back: "Respectfully send off Master."

Xie Ling walked into the main hall with the morning breeze, and after closing the door, she was about to go to the bookshelf to get the books. With a thought, she remembered that the suzerain handed Xiao Xun's "transcript" to him last night.

It was a jade slip.In yesterday's theoretical class, Xie Ling had learned how to use the jade slips theoretically—infuse spiritual consciousness into it, and then read the information stored in the jade slips.

Last night, he successfully put his consciousness into the mustard seed space several times and used it to take out things, then by analogy, from one to two, according to that method, he dropped his consciousness on the jade slip.

Two scrolls appeared in the field of vision, and Xie Ling tapped the right one with his spiritual sense.The scroll stretched out towards the upper and lower ends, and it never occurred to me that the three characters "Xie Fengxue" were written in the name column on the first line.

Xie Ling: "..."

He thought the report card was too long, so he divided it into two copies. It turned out that Xie Fenglue's specific assessment results were also included. The suzerain old man is really...

Xie Ling didn't know what to say, thinking about it was all in front of her eyes, so let's take a look.He scanned from top to bottom—Human Way inspected various aspects of the new disciples, including but not limited to aptitude, physique, character, endurance, speed, burst, computing power, common sense, all the evaluations Xie Fengxuan got were all Yes: on the armor.

A, B, C are A, up, middle, down, up.

Such uniform grades are even more difficult than playing mahjong. If you change the era, you must be admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University with your eyes closed!

Xie Ling's cognition of Xie Fengxuan as a genius academic master was consolidated, and when he looked at the scroll on the left, his mood became more subtle.What grades will Xiao Xun get in the exam?Xie Ling opened his scroll, the name is Xiao Xun, the aptitude is at the top, the physique is at the top, the character is at the top, the endurance is at the top, and the speed is at the top...

If you draw a coordinate system, a perfectly wavy line will appear.

At least they are all in the first class, but compared to the one next to him, there are so many low-ranks that it is too horrible to look at.

Fortunately, I was the one who accepted you as an apprentice, so I didn't make any demands on you, otherwise you might have to go home and farm.Xie Ling's mood was even more complicated.

He withdrew his consciousness, took out Xue Shengjun's tea set and tea leaves, boiled a pot of water, brewed a cup of clear tea, and drank it when the water temperature was suitable for the mouth.

After drinking, he let out a long sigh, picked up the jade slips, found a few books, learned and sold them now, and wiped out Xie Fenglue's assessment results inside with great effort.

He intends to give this "report card" to Xiao Xun himself, so that he can have a clear and accurate understanding and positioning of himself.

He went to the courtyard, but the apprentice was not there; he went to the small building, but the apprentice was not there; he turned around, but the apprentice was not there.

So I went down the mountain road and came to the station - the lazy turtle was still sleeping, but the beautiful white crane was gone.

—The apprentice went out again.

"I've been here for two days, and I've been out twice..." Xie Ling muttered in a low voice with no expression on his face, threw the jade slip into the mustard space, and turned around with a flick of his sleeves.

If you want to go out, go out, just pretend that you don't have this apprentice for the time being, Xie Ling thought.

Half an hour later, Xiao Xun returned to Hefeng's boundary.

What he was riding was still the jade fox from last night, with white and fluffy long fur.He came to the Hefeng post station, stepped back on the ground, and after paying the spirit stone, he also rubbed its head and neck habitually.

In the post station, Yunhe was eating, Yungui was basking in the sun, Xiao Xun glanced at them, and walked towards the top of the mountain.

Xiao Xun is an "experienced person", and looking at the introductory books issued by the sect is not very interesting, and there is no place to find fun on this mountain, so he thought of looking for Xie Ling.

Xie Ling killed his enemy by hand in his previous life, but Xiao Xun didn't mind teasing his enemy at this stage, by the way, he used some simple or tricky questions to find out what kind of concept this person really is.

Xiao Xun walked around the hall, but did not find Xie Ling; went to knock on his door, but did not get a response.He had no choice but to go back to his small building, close the door, and take out the compass to find someone.

——Xie Ling is halfway up the mountain.Xiao Xun followed the directions of the compass.

In the middle of the mountain, there is a bamboo forest next to a clear spring.There is a stone pavilion in the forest. Xie Ling is sitting in the pavilion. She is not sitting on the couch in the main hall with her back straight, leaning gently on the pillar, holding a scroll in her hand. She is wearing a misty blue robe, her black hair is tied into a ponytail, and she does not make any modifications. , plain and simple.

The wind was blowing back and forth, blowing Xie Ling's sleeves up and down gracefully.His eyebrows were lowered, and the arc drawn from the end of his eyes was handsome and cold. From a distance, he looked like an immortal from heaven.

Xiao Xun walked towards him.

Xie Ling was looking at the entry level Talisman Dao.

In the "inheritance" left by Mr. Xuesheng, there is not half a piece of elementary and intermediate talisman paper, and what he needs is just in this range, such as cleaning talisman, fire talisman, water talisman, and lighting talisman.

Drawing symbols requires spiritual power. Although he is still seriously injured, he can learn a theory and draw a shape first.

When Xiao Xun walked into the bamboo forest, he noticed it, but he didn't intend to respond.

Fu Dao, for a painter and designer like him, he really doesn't pay attention to aesthetics at all. Every picture looks like a ghost, which is very unsightly.Xie Ling struggled between continuing to watch and giving up, feeling depressed.

Xiao Xun came outside the pavilion, held his hand in salute, and called out: "Master."

"En." Xie Ling replied without raising her eyes.

And this sound made Xiao Xun feel that Xie Ling was different from that in the early morning.He looks calm, but there are actually waves hidden under the calm, and the direction of the waves seems not to be optimistic.

Xiao Xun turned his eyes, took out something from his sleeve, and said to Xie Ling: "Master, this apprentice just went to Shi Laifeng's cafeteria. The steamed dumplings there are good, so I brought a drawer back. I hope Master will try it too." taste."

He went out to have breakfast, and this tray of steamed dumplings was originally prepared for tomorrow morning—he ate three meals a day, and rode flying beasts back and forth between the two peaks three times a day, which was really troublesome.

He thought, Xie Ling would not eat such vulgar things, but it is not bad to use this childish behavior to please this person and leave a good impression.

Xie Ling raised her head in surprise by the two words in Xiao Xun's words.

?

? ?

canteen? ? ?

Xie Ling managed to maintain his expression, and glanced at the thing in Xiao Xun's hand. It was a round single-layer food box with a handle carved with patterns and exquisite workmanship.That's not the point, the point is that it's steaming and smelling.

The aroma of the dumplings seems to be filled with shrimp and corn.

That's right, the Dao of the Human World is such a big sect that accepts new disciples every year, and there are people who haven't bigu every year. In order to ensure their three meals a day, how can there be no cafeteria?

It's because he was too small, and he didn't expect this at all.

"Put it here." Xie Ling pointed at the stone table in the pavilion with the same jaw.

Xiao Xun was shocked when he heard this—Jun Xuesheng would agree to eat dumplings?This monk, who seemed as cold as snow and disdainful of the wind and dew in the world, would actually agree to eat?It's incredible.Xiao Xun blinked, suppressed his turbulent mood, stepped into the pavilion, and did as he was told.

Xie Ling's eyes flicked between him, the food box and the outside of the pavilion in turn, and a bold idea rose in his heart.Even if the sect has a cafeteria, it is impossible for Mr. Xuesheng to become a regular customer, why not...

"I forgot, you haven't bigu yet." He said to Xiao Xun as soon as he collected the scroll.

The silver-haired boy in red rolled his eyes and smiled, and said in a nonchalant tone, "It's just a trivial matter, Master doesn't need to worry about it."

But Xie Ling was serious: "You need to eat three meals a day, so it's troublesome to run around like this. How about reclaiming the wasteland next to the white plum forest in the east, planting in spring and harvesting in autumn, so that you can be self-sufficient."
