Is it the same with other big brothers?

"Then why is the already extinguished longevity lamp still in the hall?" Zhou Lingxue looked at the name on the jade plaque on the lamp, and said, "Where does it go? Which senior is it?"

Mingzhu pushed up the extinguished lamp with his fingertips, and the lamp wobbled and floated up: "I don't know too well, but the name may be Master's senior brother, and the dead people will have a long life after the lamp is extinguished." It fell to a high platform, but I don’t know why this one didn’t fall, but floated on it for so many years. Hey, let’s not talk about this, come quickly.”

He stepped on the gurgling ice water on the ground and jumped to the side of the high platform in the main hall, put the lamp in his hand on it, and pulled Zhou Lingxue's finger to prick a drop of blood onto the jade tablet that fell below. Soon, the lamp slowly turned on. Waking up, Zhou Yingxue's name also slowly appeared on it.

Ming Zhu held the longevity lamp and said, "Kneel down."

Zhou Lingxue was taken aback for a moment, then knelt down on the cold ground, the water flowed slowly over it, the chill piercing his bones, he felt cold all over, but he didn't make a sound.

Mingzhu said: "Zhou Yingxue, the thirteenth disciple of Rizhao Mountain."

It was rare for his face to sink, and his peach blossom eyes were slightly narrowed, giving people a sense of oppression without anger and prestige out of thin air.

Zhou Nexue lowered his head slightly: "The disciple is here."

"When you enter Rizhao Mountain, no matter whether you were a royal nobleman or a peddler before, you must put aside your past, work hard every day, strive hard, and don't slack off. You have been lonely since childhood, and you have suffered a lot. You are more transparent than ordinary people. The temperament is also weaker, if you stick to your heart and save the chaff, you will definitely become a beautiful person, but if you are arrogant, it will only be a matter of thought in the future, and no one will save you. Understand?"

Zhou negative snow: "Yes."

After Ming Zhu finished speaking, he immediately put away his pretentious solemnity, and pulled Zhou Lingxue up from the ground: "Hey, does your leg hurt? This is not ordinary water in the Hall of Eternal Life. If you touch it for a long time, you will be afraid." It’s the flesh and blood that will freeze to pieces.”

Before Zhou Lingxue could react, Mingzhu hugged his waist with both hands, lifted him vigorously, and put him to sit on the steps of a high platform beside him, and opened his clothes without saying hello.

Zhou Lingxue has never been treated so intimately at such a young age, his face blushed immediately, and he struggled twice: "Don't, don't touch me, I'm fine."

Ming Zhu knelt beside him, wondering: "Is that so? Then kick your leg and let me see."

Zhou Nexue didn't dare to look at him, and kicked indiscriminately, directly kicking Ming Zhu who was kneeling in front of him, staggered for a while and couldn't stand still, and rolled down the steps directly.

Zhou negative snow: "..."

"Brother!"

Mingzhu is a rough-skinned and thick-skinned man, he climbed up from the ground as if he had nothing to do, threw off the water he said just now that can freeze flesh and blood, smiled with his peach blossom eyes, and said: "Okay, the lights are also finished." , let's go back first."

He held the long-lived lantern covered in snow with a little force, and the lantern fluttered into the brightly lit lamps, and soon disappeared.

Zhou Lingxue let out a "hmm", and was about to stand up, but suddenly a thorough cold came from his knees just now, spreading along his meridians, and his whole body seemed to be frozen, dazed. In place.

It seems that the water can freeze flesh and blood, and it really lives up to its reputation.

Mingzhu sighed at the side, squatted down with his back to Zhou Lingxue, and said, "Come on, I'll carry you."

Zhou Nexue was stunned for a moment, and after a long time, he leaned on Mingzhu's back and whispered, "Thank you, brother."

Mingzhu carried him on his back: "Hey, every time a new disciple comes here, the master will definitely let me do this. I'm really too idle to fade out. What's the use of superficial skills? The ancestors of Rizhao couldn't see it." , and let you suffer so much.”

Zhou Lingxue leaned on his back, listening to his rebellious chatter as usual, but for some reason he lost the disgust he had before. He lightly rubbed the butterfly bone on the back of Mingzhu, thinking: "He looks like So thin, yet so warm and broad in the back."

The ten-year-old Zhou Lingxue has suffered all the misery in the world, and this is the first time he has received real protection, even though this person is just a dandy who everyone looks down on.

Probably because Mingzhu slandered Rizhao's ancestors in the Hall of Eternal Life and received retribution. He had just sent Zhou Yingxue back to Wenxianju to get the medicine, when Xiaodaotong came over and said that the head teacher was looking for him.

Mingzhu held the fruit he stole from Fifth Junior Brother in his mouth, and said vaguely: "Looking for me? Why are you looking for me?"

Xiao Daotong gave him a sad look, and said: "You will know when the senior brother is gone, and the junior uncle is also in the hall."

Bright Candle: "..."

Mingzhu felt guilty all of a sudden, and quickly waved him away: "Go quickly, just say you didn't find me!"

Xiao Daotong wanted to cry but had no tears: "Brother, don't embarrass me. The head teacher said that you must go today, otherwise someone will be sent to arrest you."

Mingzhu almost bumped his head on the table, and it took him a long time to accept his fate: "Okay, I'll go, I'll go."

Zhou Lingxue sat on the chair, his knees were randomly wrapped with thick gauze by the bright candle, it was ugly to see the bulge, but fortunately Zhou Lingxue didn't care, he looked at the mournful look of the bright candle, and said doubtfully: "Brother, what's the matter?"

Ming Zhu cried and said, "Little Master Uncle lied to me again, he must have told Master about the morning lesson."

Xiao Daotong at the side said cautiously: "That... big brother, every time you talk nonsense with the little uncle, he promises you not to tell the head teacher, but every time after class, he will directly report to the head teacher, Well, so many times, you should have a long memory."

Bright Candle: "..."

Mingzhu almost cried: "Thirteen, I'll send someone to bring you lunch, you can eat it by yourself."

Zhou Nexue: "What about you?"

Ming Zhu said: "I will punish you to kneel."

Zhou negative snow: "..."

Mingzhu followed Xiaodaotong all the way to Guining Daoist's residence, he didn't even enter the door, he just lifted his clothes and knelt beside the precept outside the main hall, saying: "Disciple knows his mistake."

Gui Ning Daoist in the main hall seemed to be used to it, and said directly: "Five hours, kneel up straight, let the disciples who come and go see what kind of bear the elder brother of Rizhao Mountain is."

Ming Zhu knelt straight and said, "Yes."

It was time to go to lunch, and the disciples came and went, passing in front of him in groups of three and four, and glanced at him from the corner of their eyes, mocking, funny, and distressed, but the elder brother seemed to have no face Without skin, with a wound on his face, he greeted acquaintances with a smile.

Master Gui Ning half leaned on the soft couch in the main hall, with a pair of cold and stern eyes, he looked at the bright candles outside the hall coldly, and said: "His temperament is really following his inconsequential father, no If you want to make progress, if you know your mistakes and don’t correct them, if you don’t discipline them strictly, you may also fall into the devil’s way in the future.”

The little uncle stood beside him with his hands down, and said with a gentle smile: "Senior brother, don't punish him, although what he said is biased, it is still a kind of independent opinion, which is better than those who blindly study hard. His disciples are much better."

Master Gui Ning was still dissatisfied: "You don't need to speak for him, just let him kneel down and remember. If he goes astray because of these demons and heretics in the future, who can stop him?"

The little uncle was silent for a moment before saying: "Then why did senior brother Baijianshan let him go this time? He has been thinking of escaping from Rizhao all these years, aren't you afraid that he will take the opportunity to escape this time?"

"That's why I let Zhou Yunxue go," Gui Ning sneered, "Although Ming Zhu seems to be nice to everyone, he is actually more ruthless than you and me. His, probably only..."

Junior Uncle: "Huh?"

Master Gui Ning paused for a moment, then said, "There is only Zhou Neixue who has the same illness as him."

"He is indeed special to Zhou Xuexue, but can you be sure that Zhou Xuexue can really make him stay honest?"

Master Gui Ning said: "Then what about Lu Qingkong who has a broken spirit vein?"

The little uncle was silent again.

Master Gui Ning looked at the bright candles outside the hall, seemed to sneer, and said, "Hey Gui, the more ruthless this kind of person, the more he treats people similar to him, he will always be tired of affection."

Gui He raised his head slightly, Master Gui Ning lightly stroked the extinguished incense burner with his fingers, lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "And once he has any concerns, he will not even think about going out of Rizhao Mountain until he dies."

With a sound of "squeak", Gui He walked out of the hall holding a blue bamboo bone umbrella, he went down the steps, walked to Ming Zhu's side and said softly: "A Zhu, don't kneel down, go back."

Mingzhu looked resentfully at his little uncle who didn't talk too much: "Junior uncle, you don't talk too much, this time you have hurt me, you have to kneel for five hours."

Usually, no matter how rebellious he was, he never knelt for more than two hours, but this time it was good, after he knelt, it might be midnight.

Gui He is very innocent: "So I told you to stop kneeling, how uncomfortable it is to kneel for so long."

He squatted beside Mingzhu, and covered the head of Mingzhu with the umbrella in his hand, blocking the scorching sun for him.

Mingzhu said: "Hey, little master, don't hurt me. Last time I heard what you said, I went back before kneeling for the full time. I was punished by the master for another half an hour. Are you still here today? What do you say?" I'd better let Master come and tell me before I believe it."

Gui He still said softly: "You don't have to listen to your master, just trust my little uncle."

Mingzhu: "I don't believe it."

Gui He had no choice but to stand up, put the umbrella back, and said helplessly, "Then I'll go back first, you kneel down properly."

Mingzhu blinked his eyes: "Little uncle, you see the sun is so hot, don't you think about leaving the umbrella to your nephew for shade?"

The little uncle's clothes were dragging to the floor, and his posture was as graceful as a curling moon. He turned slightly sideways, smiled with his eyes bent, and said softly: "I can't, I'm sorry, Ah Zhu."

Ming Zhu was not embarrassed by being rejected, he said "Oh", Gui He turned to leave, but when he heard Ming Zhu called him again, he turned his head in a good temper, and said, "It's really not possible."

Mingzhu blinked innocently, and said: "No, I just want to say, little uncle, your shadow has disappeared."

Gui He: "..."

Mingzhu held a dark half-human shadow in his hand, the shadow was still alive and kicking, muttering incomprehensibly, Mingzhu was also courageous, seeing the shadow jumping on the ground without the slightest fear or surprise, as if caught A bug with eyes full of curiosity.

Gui He's face paled instantly, and when he lowered his head to look at his feet, there was no shadow there.
