Is it the same with other big brothers?

Zhou Nexue bowed slightly, and said, "I've seen senior brother."

The young man seemed a little impatient, he nodded casually, ignored him, dodged the black smoke and entered the unknown, and soon the voice of the senior brother came from inside: "Lao Jiu, today's blow What kind of evil wind, how did it blow you out of the yard? Have you finished your research on the 'no wind from the hole'?"

Zhou Lingxue hesitated for a moment before walking in.

There is not much difference between Mingzhu’s Ignorance and Wen Xianju’s layout. In addition to the bluestone slab road, there are layers of fallen leaves on the ground around the huge courtyard. I don’t know if it’s intentional or I’m too lazy to clean it. It’s messy and quiet. .

Ming Zhu was standing in the long corridor pavilion extending from the house, with his head slightly raised to hang the wind chime, and the ninth senior brother was sitting or not leaning on the small table beside him, listening impatiently to the senior senior brother's chatter, holding the wind chimes in his hands. The empty cup looked back and forth, as if thinking about whether to throw the cup on the back of the elder brother's head that needed to be beaten.

Ming Zhu hung up the wind chimes, turned around and saw Zhou Lingxue, and waved to him quickly, saying: "Come, come, sit here, dinner will be ready later."

Zhou Lingxue said "Mmm" and sat down obediently, while Brother Ninth seemed to frowned, and moved aside in disgust, the disgust in his eyes was almost ready to come out.

Zhou negative snow: "..."

Zhou Lingxue looked at her well-groomed clothes, and then at the unkempt morality of Senior Brother Ninth. For a moment, she wondered what this senior brother disliked about her, was she clean?

Mingzhu didn't notice the undercurrent between the two of them, so he sat down with his clothes lifted, and said, "What are you doing here?"

Ninth senior brother Lu Qingkong didn't speak, he put the two iron pieces in his sleeves on the table, the runes on the iron pieces shook slightly, and then a series of voices came out of nowhere.

"...In my opinion, those monsters with the ability to call the wind and rain may be hunted down and even extinct by humans because of some trumped-up crimes..."

The more Mingzhu listened, the more he felt that something was wrong. After hearing it, he realized that these words were just the nonsense he had talked about in the morning class. His face immediately changed, and he stretched out his hand to shake the two pieces of iron out of order. , Yizheng said: "Ninth brother, if you have something to say, I will help you do it."

Zhou negative snow: "..."

He watched from the sidelines the whole process of the eldest brother uttering counsel outrightly, and he could only blush for him.

Lu Qingkong didn't talk nonsense, and said, "I'm going to Baijian Mountain this time."

Every two years in Rizhao Mountain, the headmaster will send people to Jianfeng to find their own weapons. After the weapons recognize their masters, they will form weapon spirits and follow their masters until they die, and then return to Jianzhong. And Lu Qingkong has been in Rizhao Mountain for ten years, and has never been allowed to go to Baijian Mountain because of his lack of cultivation.

Mingzhu refused without thinking: "No, your cultivation base is too low. When Lao Wu took people to Baijian Mountain a few years ago, Master didn't let you go with him. This time, I was the one to accompany you, Master. It's even more impossible to trust you to me, no, no, it's too dangerous."

Lu Qingkong sneered, put the iron plate away, and said with a smirk: "Then I will take the sound array and ask the old man to see if it works."

Bright Candle: "..."

Although Mingzhu is the first disciple of Rizhao, his temperament is not as good as that of an outer disciple. He was stunned for a long time, and then he hummed like an oiran who was forced to receive a guest: "Then, master and I will have a good time." Tell me."

Lu Qingkong is straightforward, he got up and left immediately after his goal was achieved.

Mingzhu: "Hey, I agree, you give me the sound array."

Lu Qingkong said: "After the matter is completed, I will definitely destroy the formation."

Although Lu Qingkong's methods are not very sophisticated, but he always keeps his word, Mingzhu heaved a sigh of relief, glanced at the kitchen from the corner of his eye, and didn't hold any grudges, and immediately greeted warmly: "Then you are here, don't go back, Let's have a meal with senior brother, I will cook myself."

Lu Qingkong seemed to want to stay after hearing the meal, but when he heard the last sentence, he ran as fast as a rabbit and disappeared in an instant.

Mingzhu muttered: "I really have no eyesight, I run so fast every time."

Zhou Nexue, who had been silent all this time, suddenly had a bad premonition.

After the elder brother brought the prepared meal with excitement, Zhou Lingxue was indifferent, and said in his heart: "I want to take back what I said just now, the elder brother really only has the face to see."

Ming Zhu even cooked several dishes, all of which were filthy and black. He might feel ashamed, so he picked a few peaches from the backyard and shared them with Zhou Lingxue.

Looking at the peaches covered with water droplets, Zhou Negxue simply didn't know what expression to make.

Ming Zhu was probably used to it, he gnawed the peach three times and then said: "I'll go change my clothes first, and I'll take you to the Hall of Eternal Life to light the lamps later."

Zhou Lingxue said heartily: "Why do you need to light the lamp in broad daylight? Eldest brother is sick again?"

After Mingzhu finished speaking, he picked up Zhou Lingxue's clean sleeves, wiped all the peach juice on it, and went in to change clothes contentedly.

Zhou negative snow: "..."

Although he has a cold and ruthless temperament, he has clear grievances and grievances. Because he has suffered so much since childhood, even a little kindness can make him ignore the past and repay each other.

Zhou Lingxue remembered Mingzhu's rescue of him this morning. Whenever Mingzhu angered him, he would always arrange the matter from beginning to end to comfort himself: "He is still good to you. Don't get angry over such a small thing."

But self-comfort is one thing, he still carefully remembered Mingzhu's use of his sleeve as a rag in his heart, and said to himself: "Bringing me out of the siege can slightly offset the anger of treating me like a rag .”

After offsetting this, he felt a lot lighter in his heart.

However, according to the senior brother's method of death, the matter of helping out of the siege may soon be offset by Zhou Xuxue bit by bit.

After a while, Mingzhu changed her clothes and came out of the room.

He usually walks through the city in a flaming red dress, where there are more people, he can see his dazzling figure at a glance in the vast crowd, but today, for some reason, he is willing to change that seductive red shirt Next, he put on the blue and white Rizhao mountain suit in a proper manner, and when he stood quietly, he really had the calm demeanor of a well-known and decent senior brother.

The calm senior brother said: "Hey! I suddenly remembered that the next door to the Hall of Eternal Life is the residence of your fifth senior brother. He is currently retreating. Let's go to his place to steal something to eat."

Zhou negative snow: "..."

The Hall of Eternal Life is a majestic high-rise building standing in the northernmost part of Rizhao Mountain. Because it is backed by the mountain wall, the cold air and clear springs from the top of the mountain flow down, forming slender icicles on the cornices of the promenade, covered with ice crystals. Really spectacular.

Mingzhu's long clothes dragged on the frosty steps, leading Zhou Lingxue into the frost-covered high-rise step by step, the two of them trampled the thin ice on the ground to pieces, and were quickly crushed by the The white mist that seemed to be pulled by someone froze again into a broken ice flower.

There is a plaque hanging at the entrance of the high-rise building, with the words "Eternal Life Palace" written on it, and a line of small characters is written on the side, which is Mingzhu's name when you look closely.

Zhou Lingxue saw it with sharp eyes, and looked at the straight and slender figure in front of him with some astonishment. He seemed to want to ask something, but the bright candle in front of him suddenly stopped and stretched out his hand to push open the huge carved door in front of him.

The door was probably in disrepair for a long time, and there was a vicissitudes of "squeak" sound, and then a series of warm orange lights slowly came into view, at the same time, a cold air that seemed to come from the hell spring overflowed. The ominous smell makes the whole body chill.

Zhou Nexue was still too young, and was forced by this aura to instinctively take a step back, her fingers trembling unconsciously.

Mingzhu turned sideways slightly, and at some point in his hand he was holding a longevity lamp covered in white gauze. The lamp was not lit, but for some reason, half of Mingzhu's face was slightly warmed.

He stretched out a hand towards Zhou Lingxue, and said softly, "Come with me."

Zhou Lingxue stared at him blankly, and when he realized it, his hand had already landed in the slightly warm palm of the elder brother, and as soon as he raised his head, he bumped into Mingzhu's somewhat narrowed eyes.

Ming Zhu blinked his right eye at him, and said in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, these are all pretense, and I'm here."

Although the various performances of the senior brother in the past two days let Zhou Yingxue know that he is nothing but an idiot in the middle of the golden catkins, but in this kind of cold atmosphere like hell, he miraculously caught the bright candle hands, as if grabbing a life-saving straw.

In the Hall of Eternal Life, a cold light poured down, and two giant trees rose from the ground at the entrance, and the dead branches were covered with tiny icicles hanging down. The beautiful flowers and jade trees set off the whole hall even more beautifully.

There is a high platform in the center of the main hall, from which the gurgling water slowly overflows and falls on the bluestone slab, shining brightly.

Zhou Lingxue looked around boldly, and when he raised his head, he suddenly realized that there were all longevity lamps one after another above his head.

The surrounding lamps were suspended in the air, and the candles swayed slightly with the cold wind. At the bottom of each lamp was a crystal jade tablet with everyone's name written on it.

Mingzhu took the hand of his junior brother and walked forward slowly stepping on the subtle water, tilting his head in a field of fire and silver flowers, and said with a smile: "This is the longevity lamp of all the disciples in Rizhao Mountain. The longevity lamp connects life and death. When the light is off, you have one too, and when you light it with spiritual power, you will officially enter the gate of my Rizhao Mountain. Oh, be careful not to touch your head... ah!"

Just as he was reminding others, he bumped his head against the lamp floating towards him, and the cold jade plate hit his wound, causing him to almost jump up from the ground.

"Hiss—" Mingzhu covered his forehead, grabbed another lamp that floated in front of him with a forced smile, and continued, "And lamps like this that have been extinguished are dead people in the sun. , and those who have extinguished the lamps in the Hall of Eternal Life, even if they are reborn, they will definitely not enter the rank of Rizhao disciples."

It is rumored that a hundred years ago Rizhao had a disciple who died in the world, but by chance, he was reborn. The person is still the same person, but the Rizhao longevity lamp will not be lit for him.

Zhou Lingxue looked at the name on the falling jade plaque from the extinguished lamp, and then at the faint candlelight floating around, not knowing why an uncontrollable sadness suddenly rose in her heart.

Life is like duckweed, life and death are like candlelight, seemingly gorgeous, but will eventually turn into a handful of ashes and dissipate in the world.

Dust returns to dust, soil returns to soil, birth, old age, sickness and death, fallen leaves return to their roots.
