Palace Master's Road to Unification

As time goes by, the heat of summer recedes and the mountains become cooler.

Ziheng called Qingying over to discuss important matters.

"What is the order of the palace master?" Qingying stood in front of Ziheng, wearing a green skirt with fluorescent spots on the skirt, just like Qingying's name.

Ziheng sat on the high seat, looking down at Qingying: "There is nothing going on around here, let's advance the autumn hunting."

This is only the beginning of autumn, and there is still some time before hunting.

"It's not in a hurry until late autumn..."

"Maybe there will be no time in the future, you start to arrange it."

"Yes."

As soon as the news came out, the disciples were very interested. The Jiuxiao Palace hunted twice a year, once in spring and once in autumn, and the range was in Tianyan Mountain.

Although Jiuxiao Palace is located in Tianyan Mountain, it only occupies one side, while Tianyan Mountain has dangerous peaks, thousands of peaks and hundreds of peaks, and the spiritual creatures in the mountain have not been extinct due to human habitation.

In other words, Jiuxiao Palace is only a small part of Tianyan Mountain. The road here is steep, and outsiders will fall under the cliff if they accidentally enter here. Ziheng is not very worried that this place will be breached in one fell swoop.

In previous years, the number one hunter was Zi Heng, who was the deputy palace lord. If he wanted to win people's hearts, he had to show his strength first. A lot of No.2, and No.2 was the left envoy Duan Wu at that time.

People would naturally prefer the latter between the arrogant deputy palace master and the kind-hearted left envoy. Some disciples would say some extremely nasty things in front of Ziheng. Of course, Ziheng dealt with these people.

"Speedy tongue, if you don't like it, I'll deal with it myself, you don't have to." Duan Wu came with a sword in his hand, his footsteps were like floating clouds in the sky, his expression was as clear as water, and his figure was as elegant as a fairy.

Ziheng sat aside and wiped the sword. The blood on the sword belonged to those disciples. When he learned that Duan Wu came to see him without even looking at him, he still lowered his head and wiped the sword: "It's like this every year. It's the same every time I deal with it. In this way, it is better to take advantage of this as a warning to others, lest there will be others who will imitate recklessly in the future."

Duan Wu frowned: "Killing can't solve any problems."

Ziheng reinserted the Xueqing sword into the scabbard, stood up, and didn't take Duan Wu's innocent words seriously: "You have a great time here, go out for a walk if you have time."

……

The hunt lasted for three days. On the first day, they could only catch animals running on the ground, on the second day they caught animals swimming in the water, and on the third day they shot animals flying in the sky.

On the first day, the disciples were ready to go. The hunting time was eight hours from Maoshi to Xushi. Some disciples waited outside at Yinshi in order to get a good ranking.

But like Han Lu and Ling Yao, they only woke up at the end of the day, without any sense of competition at all.

Zi Heng ordered all the disciples in the palace to move about freely today, including the disciples guarding the dungeon.

All the disciples of Jiuxiao Palace are active in Tianyan Mountain, even if the people in the dungeon fly, they have to pass in front of them, Ziheng is not afraid at all that they will escape from Tianyan Mountain.

During the hunting, the disciples supervise each other, and each disciple must kill at least [-] to be considered a pass, otherwise there will be punishment.

Han Lu and Ling Yao are special, they want to kill a hundred of them.

Otherwise, you will have to face the cruel punishment of the palace lord.

If one is missing, it will be necessary to copy the sword manual ten times, and ten is a hundred times. When the two of them heard it, they trembled and hated themselves for not getting up earlier!

I can only start shooting with a bow and arrow. Although there are many animals in the mountains, it is not easy to catch them.

By noon, the two of them had only hunted more than 20 prey, and they were distressed for a while. Now they don't expect to stop copying books, they can only hope to copy less books.

Lingyao drew the bowstring, shot another rabbit, and said listlessly: "I think I can copy the sword manual at least two hundred times..."

Han Lu was dejected: "I think I will copy it three hundred times..."

The two girls are at the most difficult time in their lives, and all the enthusiasm of previous years has disappeared. They only need to hunt [-] animals before, and then they will sneak away to play, and when the time is up, they will come back with their prey. Now suddenly there is a standard of one hundred, she really wants to cry, let alone play, she is not even sure whether she can complete it.

Han Lu put down her bow and wiped the sweat from her brow: "Lingyao, let's take a rest."

Lingyao insisted abnormally: "If you hunt one more, you can copy ten times less. Archery is much easier than copying books. I'll keep fighting."

Han Lu was really tired, and it was noon, the sun was shining brightly, so he hurriedly found a big tree to enjoy the shade.

Tired all morning, her mouth was dry, but she was too lazy to fetch water.

At this moment, a water sac suddenly appeared in front of Han Lu.

"Give."

Han Lu's eyes lit up, and he said, "Thank you, brother."

Taking the water bag and taking a sip, he let out a long sigh of relief.

Only then did I realize what was wrong, where did the senior brother from Nine Heavens Palace come from! ! !

Turning her head quickly, she saw Ning Zheng standing behind the tree and looking at her with a smile on her face.

Han Lu quickly stood up: "So it's Mr. Ning."

"I heard that the palace lord has raised the standards for you and Lingyao?"

Han Lu lowered her head: "Yes."

Ning Zheng comforted: "This shows that the Palace Master values ​​you very much."

Han Lu wept bitterly: "I know, but...we can't finish it!"

At this time Lingyao came over: "Han Lu, have you rested yet, we should continue."

Lingyao was slightly taken aback when she saw Ning Zheng: "Master Ning."

Ning Zheng smiled slightly and said, "You don't have to be so polite, just call me brother."

Han Lu specially reminded: "Then you will be a generation shorter than the Palace Master."

Boss and subordinate are one thing, seniority is another.

Ning Zheng seemed to have thought of something, covered her lips and smiled: "It's not bad."

"By the way, do you need my help?" Ning Zheng raised her eyebrows, implying something.

Lingyao shook her head violently, if the palace lord finds out, it will really be over!

Han Lu hesitated for a while, and finally said with difficulty: "If we really can't finish it, then ask Mr. Ning for help."

"Alright, then I'll come and see you later." Ning Zheng left after finishing speaking.

"Senior Brother Ning, go slowly."

"Han Lu, do you really want to do this?"

"If we really can't finish the fight..."

Lingyao felt uneasy: "What if the Palace Master finds out?"

Han Lu was silent for a while: "Copy books at most, so we have to fight for a chance not to copy books!"

"But...what if the palace lord finds out and doubles?"

Han Lu was dumbfounded, the palace lord might really do this!

"...so let's fight hard first!"

……

After Ning Zheng left, there was nothing to do, so he picked up the bow and arrow and started hunting. If the two little guys couldn't finish, he would share some of his prey with them so that they would not be punished.

Ning Zheng was in high spirits, when a voice suddenly came from behind: "You are in good spirits."

"Thanks to the palace lord."

Ning Zheng still had a smile on her face, but she didn't turn around, but chose to let go of the string in her hand.

With a sound of "whoosh", the arrow flew towards the prey and pierced it.

Zi Heng walked to Ning Zheng, raised his head and looked at the sky: "Shoot that pigeon down."

Ning Zheng followed Zi Heng's gaze, but his eyes were blurred: "The Palace Master is really embarrassing me."

Three years ago, Ning Zheng's eyes were traumatized in Jiluo Mountain. Although he was not blind enough, the root cause of the disease was not treated in time. He could see nearby objects very clearly, but if he saw objects a little farther away, he could see clearly. It's not as clear as it used to be.

Let him shoot rabbits or large animals. If it is a bird, I am afraid that he will miss it in this life.

Ziheng suddenly asked: "Do you still remember what I said when I parted from you in Jiluo Mountain?"

"The palace lord said, I hope I don't regret it."

"Did you regret it then?"

Ning Zheng paused, as if recalling the scene of that day: "When I almost died there, I was thinking that it might be good if I agreed to the Palace Master." She said slowly, "But now I am satisfied. "

Zi Heng looked at Ning Zheng quietly for a while, but the other party's eyes did not seem to be lying.

"This seat will send you one more time."

"...Why did Palace Master suddenly think of saying this?"

"This seat suddenly feels that the loyalty of capable subordinates is more important than killing them all."

Ning Zheng laughed: "The palace master is worried about Ning Zheng." Then he sighed deliberately, "How can I show my utter loyalty!"

At that time, he entered Jiluo Mountain together with his master and senior brother, the purpose was to find the "Fengmai Lingshu" that had been missing for many years, but Jiluo Mountain was full of dangers, he accidentally fell off the cliff, and his master and senior brothers did not come to find him after waiting for a long time His own eyes were also scratched by branches during the fall.

When he woke up again, he was in a cave. The bonfire around him had already been burned out, and the sun had already risen. Against the light, he saw a woman in purple sitting at the entrance of the cave. A layer of yarn, and some pain.

The woman is sitting sideways, holding an ancient book in her hand, and is reading it intently.

"Wake up and get up." The woman's voice was extremely cold, like the ice of winter, without a trace of emotion.

Ning Zheng tried to move, but her body was in excruciating pain, and she sat up with all her strength: "Thank you for saving my life, Miss."

"No, I just dragged you here. I didn't deal with your injuries, and you don't need to thank me."

The woman was still flipping through the book with her head down, as if she had no interest in this person at all.

"It didn't let me be eaten by the tiger in the mountain, it saved me."

"Thank you if you want."

Thinking of this, Ning Zheng laughed involuntarily, turned around and asked, "Why did the Palace Master save me in the first place?"

No matter how you look at it, the Palace Master is not a person who can save lives and heal the wounded.

Ziheng replied truthfully: "I'm in a good mood."

At that time, Ziheng, who had just obtained the "Book of Sealing the Pulse" at the bottom of the cliff, was in a good mood. After walking a few steps, he saw a bloody man lying on the bottom of the cliff, and dragged him back to the cave. At this point, she didn't help the other party stop the bleeding, nor did she treat the wound on the other party's eyes. She only lit a bonfire in the cave, and this man woke up the next day.

This kind of root and will makes Ziheng a little bit excited, and he looks good.

The two stayed in the cave for three days. After Zi Heng memorized all the contents of the "Fengmai Lingshu", he returned to the place where he found the "Fengmai Lingshu", burned it, and prepared to go down the mountain.

Before leaving, he said to Ning Zheng: "Adore me as your teacher, and I will take you away."

Ning Zheng: "..."

"Thank you for your kindness, but my master and senior brother are still looking for me, it is impossible for me to abandon my master at this time."

"I hope you don't regret it."

As soon as Ning Zheng finished speaking, Zi Heng walked away without looking back, completely unwilling to speak again.

Looking at the back of the other party leaving, Ning Zheng murmured: "You are so young and frivolous..."

He is clearly about the same age as himself, so he wants to accept himself as a disciple...

After Ziheng left, Ning Zheng, who was seriously injured, couldn't get out of the cave at all, and could only wait for the rescue of his master and senior brother. However, he waited for a long time, but couldn't wait, so he could barely survive on the food left by Ziheng.

However, there will always be a day when the food is finished, and the injuries on the body are getting heavier every day.

The moment he passed out, Ning Zheng was thinking that maybe he should really agree to the other party and ask for a teacher again.
