Chapter 7 Chapter 6 Apprenticeship

Zhang Xiaofan woke up leisurely, stunned for a while, then sat up slowly, the past flooded into his mind like a tide. It's like a nightmare! "You're awake, that's all right." A voice came from the door, and a person walked in. Zhang Xiaofan raised his eyes and recognized Song Daren whom he had seen on Tongtian Peak at that time, he was tall and handsome, with his current state of mind, for some reason, seeing this acquaintance, he was kind of friendly. "Brother Song." Zhang Xiaofan called out. Although Song Daren is a big man, he couldn't help feeling pity at the moment, he walked to the bed, reached out and touched Zhang Xiaofan's head, and said softly: "Little brother, don't be sad, we will be a family from now on."

Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment, then said: "What kind of family?" Song Daren smiled and told about Tian Buyi's acceptance of him as an apprentice. Of course, he didn't know about the little dispute between the elders of Qingyun Sect that day in Tongtian Peak Yuqing Palace. Zhang Xiaofan was at a loss when he heard this, in the eyes of a peasant boy like him, Qingyun Sect is really a figure on par with gods, he himself never dreamed that one day, he would have the opportunity to join the Qingyun Sect.However, this price is not what he is willing to pay. He gritted his teeth, and finally realized that it was useless to think too much, so he opened his mouth and called out, "Senior Brother Song."

Song Daren nodded with a smile, and said: "Okay, little junior brother, you've been sleeping for a whole day and night, you must be hungry too?" Zhang Xiaofan didn't feel it at first, but when he said it, his stomach immediately growled twice. Song Daren smiled and said: "Come on, junior brother, let's go eat something first, and I will tell you about the situation of our sect, and then we will go to visit master and wife together, and meet other senior brothers." Zhang Xiaofan nodded and got out of bed, only then did he notice that the room he was in was quite similar to the living place of Qingyun disciples on Tongtian Peak, but it seemed to be more spacious.

Song Daren led him out, and said: "Our Dazhu Peak is no different from other sects, the population is very small, even if you are added now, the total number is only ten people, so the room is more spacious." Walking outside the door, there is also a similar small courtyard, and after a few more steps, the courtyard is also a corridor, but it is clear at a glance, there are only a dozen rooms, far inferior to the scale on Tongtian Peak. Zhang Xiaofan followed Song Daren towards the kitchen, learned from him that the lineage of Dazhufeng started from Zheng Tong, the fourth disciple of the founder of Qingye, and has been passed down to the current six generations of Tian Buyi, the situation has always been like this, the number of people is not strong.Now in the generation of teachers and elders, apart from the first Tian Buyi, there is only another uncle Suru, who is Tian Buyi's wife.They have a daughter, Tian Ling'er, who is thirteen this year, two years older than Zhang Xiaofan, so Zhang Xiaofan is a veritable junior here.

Among Tian Buyi's disciples, Song Daren is the senior brother, followed by Wu Dayi, Zheng Dali, He Dazhi, Lu Daxin, and Du Bishu. Zhang Xiaofan remembered carefully: "Oh, Senior Brother Dayi, Senior Brother Dali, Senior Brother Dazhi, Senior Brother Daxin, Senior Brother Dashu..." Song Daren smiled and said, "It's Senior Brother Du Bishu." Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, he couldn't help asking: "Why is this sixth senior brother different?" Song Daren said: "Originally he was indeed called Da Shu, but you should call him twice."

Zhang Xiaofan murmured: "Du Dashu, Du Dashu, Du Dashu..." he understood in his heart, and immediately laughed. Song Daren also said with a smile: "You know. In fact, Master didn't care very much, but Master's wife was very annoyed. After calling a few times, she said that Junior Brother Du didn't respect Master and wanted to teach him a lesson, which scared Junior Brother Du half to death. , hurriedly asked Master and Mistress to change his name, and later Mistress gave him the name 'Du Bishu'. You should recite this name carefully several times." Zhang Xiaofan said in a low voice: "Du Bishu, Du Bishu, you will lose the bet..." He bent over with a laugh.

Song Daren originally intended to make him laugh, to ease his grief, seeing Zhang Xiaofan happy, he was also quite happy, he said with a smile: "Sixth Junior Brother had a bad habit of gambling before entering the school, but later by chance, he was sent up the mountain by Master , although I don't gamble anymore, but usually I like to gamble with others to enjoy myself, so my wife's move also has the meaning of vigilance." Zhang Xiaofan's childlike heart, his smile opened up, his sad mood faded a lot, and seeing how kind his elder brother is, his fear of the future gradually calmed down.

After eating in the kitchen, Song Daren took Zhang Xiaofan to the main hall of Dazhu Peak "Shoujing Hall".People from the Dazhu Peak of Qingyunmen gathered in the Shoujing Hall at this moment. The floor here is paved with red bricks, red tiles and stone pillars. There is a big "Tai Chi" figure engraved on the floor in the hall, which is very simple in general. There were two chairs in front of the hall, and there were two people sitting there, one was Tian Buyi, the other was a quiet and dignified beautiful woman, she looked to be in her thirties, and she was graceful, standing beside her was a little girl with delicate features and a pair of Her bright eyes are watery, extremely agile and endearing.

As for the other five male disciples, lined up, standing at the bottom, whether tall or short, strong or thin, their eyes all fell on Zhang Xiaofan at the moment. Song Daren walked to the front of the hall, and respectfully said: "Master, Master Wife, this disciple brought my little brother here." Tian Buyi snorted, a little impatient, but the beautiful woman Suru looked at Zhang Xiaofan more, and said: "Daren, he slept for a day and a night, I'm afraid he's already hungry, you take him to eat first Bar." Song Daren said: "Reporting to Master Madam, I have already taken my junior brother to the kitchen to eat."

Suru nodded, glanced at Tian Buyi, and stopped talking.Tian Buyi snorted coldly again, and said, "Let's begin." Zhang Xiaofan didn't know why, he only heard Song Daren whispering behind him: "Junior brother, quickly kneel down and kowtow to worship master." Zhang Xiaofan knelt down immediately, "Dong Dong Dong" licked more than a dozen heads in a row, loud and loud. "Hehe." It was the little girl Tian Linger who couldn't help laughing.Suru smiled and said, "Good boy, just eat nine." Zhang Xiaofan let out an "oh", then stopped, raised his head, everyone saw that his forehead was red, and couldn't help laughing, but in Tian Buyi's eyes, he was even more stupid, thinking of what to do in the future To teach such an idiot, his originally rather big head seems to be bigger again.

"Okay, that's it." Tian Buyi was in a bad mood, waved his hands and said, "Daren, you will take him with you first, the school's rules and regulations, and some introductory methods, you will teach them first." Song Daren replied: "Yes," and then hesitantly said, "But Master, I'm still young, this is the homework of an introductory disciple..." Tian Buyi rolled his eyes, and said: "Do it." After speaking, he stood up without turning his head, and walked towards the back hall, all the disciples bowed together, and said: "Respectfully send off Master." As soon as Tian Buyi left, before everyone could open their mouths, the little girl Tian Linger flashed up to Zhang Xiaofan, stared at him carefully, Zhang Xiaofan saw her cute face like a lotus shaking in front of his eyes, although young, she was already She was a beauty. When he was in Caomiao Village, he had never seen such a beautiful girl of his age, and his face blushed. "Ha," Tian Linger pointed at Zhang Xiaofan and laughed loudly as if she had discovered a treasure: "Senior brother, look, he will blush when he sees me." The hall burst into laughter, Zhang Xiaofan's face turned even redder, Suru came over and scolded with a smile: "Ling'er, don't bully junior brother." Tian Ling'er made a funny face, but she didn't take her mother's words to heart at all, she stood up straight and said to Zhang Xiaofan: "Hey, call me Senior Sister." Zhang Xiaofan was angry in his heart, but Tian Linger's bright eyes, bright teeth, and charming figure floated in front of his eyes, he was confused for a while, so he couldn't help calling out: "Senior Sister." Tian Linger was always ranked last on the Big Bamboo Peak, now she has a younger brother than herself, she was very happy, she acted old-fashioned, and said: "Good boy, you must listen to what your sister says from now on." Zhang Xiaofan responded with a nana, "Yes." Suru pulled her daughter over and said: "Don't mess around." Then she said to Song Daren, "Daren, the younger brother is still young, the homework may be a bit difficult, you should take care of him." Song Daren said respectfully: "Yes." The other five disciples stood together, laughing and laughing, looking here and there, gloating at others' misfortune. At this moment, Suru suddenly made a strange movement, turning her head around as if stretching her muscles and bones, which greatly changed her usual dignified temperament.In a moment, all the disciples of the Great Bamboo Peak, from Song Daren down, stopped laughing, and all of them were tongue-tied, with expressions of imminent disaster. Suru cleared her throat and said, "You..." "Master," shouted, but Song Daren's forehead was sweating, and he shouted anxiously. Suru frowned, and said, "What?" The other five juniors also said in unison: "Senior brother, what are you going to do?" Song Daren said anxiously: "Master, the younger brother has just started, and the disciple is ordered by the master to pass on the rules and regulations of the school and the homework for the introductory class, so I'm busy now." Suru pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "That's right, you go." "What?" The remaining five juniors shouted in unison. Song Daren laughed dryly, without further ado, stepped forward and hugged Zhang Xiaofan, without waiting for him to ask, he immediately walked out, saying: "Little brother, let me find a quiet place, I will teach you the rules of the sect first... " Tian Ling'er followed with a smile, feeling very amused, only to hear someone behind him scold loudly: "Eldest brother, you are shameless!" "coward!" ... Hearing this, Zhang Xiaofan was puzzled, thinking why did the elder brother teach me the rules of the house but was scolded as a coward? He was thinking in his heart, when he suddenly heard Suru cut off his drink, the voice was cold and sweet, like breaking ice and cutting snow: "Shut up." The hall was immediately quiet. I just heard Suru say: "You incompetent guys, when you see that I want to test your cultivation, you will be afraid of this kind of virtue. In five years, there will be a 'Qimai Martial Arts Competition' once every Jiazi in Qingyunmen. The last time You have already made me and your master so angry that if you don’t work hard this time, the two of us will be humiliated to death by the same sect! Come on, let’s all five..." ※※※ Song Daren ran faster and faster, with big strides, and went straight to the back mountain after leaving the hall.Zhang Xiaofan leaned on his shoulder, the trees on both sides receded "huhuhu", extremely fast.Tian Ling'er who was behind them sacrificed a scarlet jade silk at some point, the whole body was light amber in color, almost transparent, exuding red clouds, obviously it was a magic weapon of the fairy family.At this moment, Tian Ling'er stood leisurely on top of the red silk, and made a casual trick in her hand, and the vermilion jade silk flew her into the air, following Song Daren closely. Zhang Xiaofan has never seen such a miraculous thing before, he was amazed, he saw Tian Ling'er walking against the wind, extremely unrestrained, with envy in his eyes. Tian Linger saw his expression, she was extremely proud, she drove Ling to Zhang Xiaofan's side and walked side by side with him, said: "How about it, am I very powerful?" Zhang Xiaofan nodded desperately, said: "Yes, senior sister, you are really amazing, you can run so fast while riding a red cloth strip!" Tian Linger froze for a moment, then realized what he meant by the red cloth strip, she was so angry that she poohed, but couldn't help laughing: "Big idiot!" Zhang Xiaofan was puzzled, only heard Song Daren laughing at the front: "Little brother, what nonsense are you talking about, that 'Amber Scarlet Silk' is a magic weapon cultivated by my wife to become famous when she was young, it has no magical effect and great power, it is in our Qingyun sect, It is also a well-known magic weapon of the fairy family, so why is it a red cloth strip?" After speaking, he laughed. Zhang Xiaofan's face was flushed, he secretly raised his eyes to look at Tian Ling'er, only to see that she was looking at him with a smile, two dimples appeared on her face. After running like this for a while, the three of them came to a small hill in the back mountain, Song Daren stopped and put Zhang Xiaofan down.Tian Ling'er also fell to the ground, and when she retracted the hand formula, "Amber Scarlet Silk" rolled up automatically as if it had a spirituality, and wrapped it around her waist, it looked like a beautiful red belt. This hillside is covered with bamboos, thick and thin, forming forests, very lush.However, upon closer inspection, the bamboo here is different from ordinary ones, and the bamboo joints are all black. Song Daren pointed to this bamboo grove, and said to Zhang Xiaofan: "Junior Brother, according to the rules of our Dazhu Peak lineage, beginners have to go here to cut bamboo every day. You are still young, you have to cut bamboo here every day in the first three months. Just chop one tree every day, as for the thickness, it’s up to you.” When Zhang Xiaofan first heard about the introductory homework, Suru asked Song Daren to take care of it, he thought it was such a difficult task, but unexpectedly it was ordinary chopping firewood.He was born in Caomiao Village, and was born in a farming family. He also went up to the mountains with the adults and cut firewood a few times. He felt relieved at the moment, smiled and said: "Brother, I have chopped firewood before, so don't worry." Song Daren looked at him, hesitated to speak, and said with a smile: "That's all right. Let's walk back slowly, and I'll show you the path. You come by yourself in the future, and by the way, I'll tell you about the rules and regulations of the house. .” Tian Ling'er laughed beside her and said, "Eldest brother, why did you come so hastily and say something innocuous, and you still have to walk back slowly, is it because you are afraid of being beaten by my mother?" Song Daren blushed, ignored her, and only said to Zhang Xiaofan: "Junior Junior Brother, you should remember, the first rule of this sect is to respect the master..." It turns out that from the Dazhufeng lineage of Qingyunmen, the first Tian is not lazy by nature, although he wants to save face, he has always been too lazy to discipline his disciples, usually he only teaches Taoism and dharma and then ignores them, letting the disciples practice on their own. But his wife, Suru, has a strong nature and likes to use martial arts. When she was young, she was well-known and beautiful. After marrying Tian Buyi, her temperament has been greatly restrained, but firstly, her hands are often itchy, and secondly, her disciples are not very good. To strive for success, Qing Yunmen held the "Seven Meridians Martial Arts Competition" test every sixty years as usual. After several consecutive rounds, the disciples of Dazhu Peak fought repeatedly and failed repeatedly. Except for the big brother Song Daren who occasionally won a game, the rest all won with all their strength. In the end, he became the laughing stock of Qingyunmen. Suru was so strong all her life, how could she endure such a tone, so she would often "educate" this group of disciples for her husband Tian Buyi.Although she looks soft and beautiful, she has a quick temper, and her cultivation is extremely high. If she was not careful, she beat these disciples so that they ran away with their heads covered in bruises, so that everyone feared that this beautiful teacher was far better than that short and fat teacher. At this time, it was late, the sun had set in the west, and the sky was full of sunset.The setting sun shone on the Big Bamboo Peak, and the seniors and juniors walked slowly towards the front of the mountain. From the house in front of the peak in the distance, a long barking sound came from nowhere, interspersed with some poor people's screams. pain.
