To be continued

The crisp birdsong resounded through the academy again, Xia Tian tidied up the slips scattered on the bench, carefully carried them in his arms and returned to the classroom.

"Xiamen, just now your fourth senior sister came to the classroom and you were looking for you."

As soon as he stepped into the classroom, he heard the word Fourth Senior Sister, Xia Tian's heart arose, and he hurriedly leaned over to Guo Lin and asked cautiously, "Then is she still there?"

"No, I just left after looking around in the classroom." Guo Lin looked at Xia Tian's relieved look, and said with a smile: "What, you messed with her? See how she was so angry just now."

Xia Tian nodded, but when it aroused Guo Lin's strong interest, he changed back to his expressionless face, his lips were pursed into a straight line, as if he couldn't type a word with an electric drill.

Guo Lin who couldn't hear the gossip was very disappointed, but still couldn't restrain his nature and continued to find another topic: "By the way, Xia Tian, ​​did you know that Immortal Lin Ting suddenly changed his temper this morning, and severely punished those who skipped class and were late? , Those who are caught skipping classes will fail directly.”

"Huh?" After hearing the word "failing", Xia Tian finally got some attention, stopped arranging the slips in his hand, and asked a little nervously: "Then...have I been caught?"

"You——" It's rare to see Xia Tian's nervous expression, Guo Lin deliberately dragged the end of the sound very long, and saw that the tablemate was so nervous that he was almost holding his breath, and then he laughed: "I'm sure you haven't been caught!" Come on, have you forgotten that there are two senior sisters who like Lin Ting Xianjun above you, even if someone is caught, it can't be you."

Guo Lin was still lying on the table and laughing, but he didn't notice to control the volume of the last voice. As a result, a wave of hatred for the latecomers in the classroom passed.

Those who failed the exam looked at the only Xia Xia who escaped by chance, and the jealousy in their eyes almost turned into substance.

Why didn't they expect to be reminded of such a thing!How cunning!

Sensing the hostile gazes of the people around him, Xia Tian slapped Guo Lin on the shoulder fiercely, gritted his teeth and said, "Good brother."

He knows what it means to say that misfortune comes from the mouth, and Guo Lin actually helped him win so much hatred with just one sentence...

Really unable to stand the hostile eyes of the people around, Xia Tian stood up and went out from the classroom.The afternoon class was a practical class, and the forging technique he learned was in the easternmost teaching area of ​​the school.

Slowly walked to the easternmost teaching area of ​​the school, Xia Tian entered the forging room, there were only a few students scattered in it, and they didn't do any serious business but gathered together to chat.

In the memory of the original owner, Xia Tian seldom interacts with other people in the class, and usually concentrates on studying alone, so after entering, Xia Tian didn't talk to those other students, and walked to his own stove, Pinched Huolingjue to let the stove burn first.

This is the first step in forging preparations. Preheating takes a lot of time. If you want to forge, you have to wait until the fire in the furnace is burning red.

In the current forging room, only Xia Tian's furnace is burning, so the temperature is not so hot yet.After everyone arrived one after another, when all the furnaces in the forging room were burning red, the temperature was unbearable even for monks with cultivation bases, so people from the entire forging room often appeared In the end, they are all topless/topless.

It is because of this situation that the number of female nuns who learn the art of forging in the entire academy is less than or equal to zero all the year round, and even the teachers who teach the classes are burly men with bulging muscles.Not to mention that there will be female nuns coming to attend the class and rub the class.

Wave after wave of hot air rushed towards the face, watching the gradually burning red fire, he did not put the large utensils he had forged in the furnace to continue forging as soon as summer came, but picked a smaller piece of iron Put the block into the furnace and start beating slowly to remove impurities.

The material of the large equipment that the original owner had already forged was excellent, so Xia Tian treated it with extra caution. He decided to use a piece of iron to practice his hands first. previous forging.

Ding ding dong dong sounded from the forging room, Xia Tian's dark eyes were flushed by the firelight, and even his face was covered with a layer of warm orange color.

Small beads of sweat from the forehead soaked a few strands of fine black hair, Xia Tian raised his hand and wiped his forehead indifferently.

The forging hammer in his hand struck the iron block seemingly casually, but each time it made the iron block smoother and rounder.When it was taken out of the furnace and placed in cooling water to cool, the originally irregularly shaped piece of dark black iron had become extremely smooth and turned into the shape of a bird.

Xia Tian used iron tongs to put the finished product he forged aside. Since it was just a warm-up exercise, he didn't make it very fine. He just removed the impurities from the iron block and roughly knocked out a bird shape. Even the most beautiful tail feathers on the back of the bird were fanned thinly, without fine-tuning.

The warm-up was finally over, Xia Tian stretched his waist, felt the increasingly hot temperature around him, and his cheeks were flushed by the hot air, only then did he notice that when he was forging, everyone had already arrived, and the furnace was fired up .

It's just because the forging was too serious before, and I didn't notice it.

Just at this moment, Wei Lin, who had been standing behind Xia Tian, ​​walked up to him, picked up the iron block he had used to practice his hands, and looked at it carefully.

Wei Lin is the teacher of the summer forging class. He looked around with scrutiny and said: "The impurities are picked well, but the bird's tail feathers are too thin, and the force is too strong. If this object is finer in the future If it is a vulture, the tail feathers will be easily broken."

"Yes, thank you teacher for your guidance."

Seeing the serious expression of the child in front of him, Wei Lin suddenly laughed, her white teeth were particularly obvious on her dark face: "Haha, Xia Tian, ​​don't keep your face down, I didn't criticize you, you The art of forging is the best in the class, a little more confident and happy."

Patting Xia Tian's thin shoulders reassuringly, Wei Lin looked at the few people who were still playing beside her, and immediately became strict: "You brats who don't think about making progress, look Look at how good the things other people forged in the summer are, next time you want to hand in these strange things, don't come to class!"

Wei Lin's severe criticism continued, and the loud voice almost filled the entire airtight forging room, criticizing every student in the class except Xia Tian.

I didn't expect to be able to enjoy the treatment of other people's children one day. Xia Tian put down the forging hammer in his hand and watched from the side, with a faint smile hanging on the corner of his mouth.

...

The air in the forging room is really stuffy, Xia Tian only picked out some impurities inside the forged large-scale utensils, and then walked out of the forging room to rest.

The raw material of that utensil is the heavy iron stone in Xuanhai. Although it is an extremely high-quality forging material, and it fits well with materials of various attributes, it has a lot of impurities and is extremely difficult to remove. It was given to him by Xia Xia's master. .

If Xia Tian wants to completely remove the impurities of the heavy iron stone, it is still far from being able to achieve it with his current ability.

He also needs a monk with a very high cultivation level to help him perceive the impurities on the iron stone.

And even if the problem of heavy iron and stone impurities is solved, he still has to think about what kind of sword to forge for his master, whether it is a dexterous light sword, or a powerful heavy sword, and what attributes the sword should have.

While thinking, Xia Tian raised his head, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a purple figure wandering furtively among the groves outside the forging room, his expression immediately became vigilant.

Just as he was about to turn around and go back to report to the teacher, he saw that ray of purple light flashing, and it actually blocked in front of him in the blink of an eye. Xia Tian was so frightened that he backed up again and again, almost fell to the ground with his ass.

"Oh...I, I'm not a ghost...Student Xiaoxia, why are you so timid." The woman obviously didn't expect to frighten the child like this by just answering, so how could she ask for the next thing, and she was immediately satisfied Apologetically, she planned to help him up.

The woman was wearing a violet tulle, and the cardamom on her fingertips carried a silky sweet fragrance. Xia Tian's body was one step faster than her mind, standing up first before the woman touched her.

The woman in front of him was no stranger to him. To be precise, everyone in the school, especially the male cultivators, had a deep impression on her.

The famous Fairy Ling Xiao in the college is the bishop of the history of the fairy world.However, she is famous not because of how good she is at teaching, but because of her sweet voice and stunning appearance, which attracted a large number of boys and male teachers who sat behind and listened.

Why did such a person come to him?He remembered that he should not have had much contact with Fairy Ling Xiao, and he had never attended her class.

Because Xia Tian had already stood up on his own, Ling Xiao's half-stretched hand was empty, and he smiled with a little embarrassment, and then gently stroked the top of Xia Tian's head, "I have heard Chen Han Xianjun say that his little The apprentice is smart and smart, seeing him now, he is really a talent."

The sweet voice seemed to melt people away. Accompanied by the sweet aroma, Xia Tian subconsciously tilted his body, and cautiously opened a distance from Ling Xiao, saying: "Mr. Ling Xiao... Then, if If there is nothing else, I will go back first, Teacher Wei Lin hasn't finished class yet."

It is said that if there is nothing to go to the Three Treasures Hall, he does not believe that Fairy Ling Xiao suddenly came to him just to say hello to him.In order to avoid trouble, he had better get away as soon as possible.

"Hey...wait, Xiaoxia." Sure enough, Fairy Ling Xiao stood in front of him anxiously, pulled his sleeve and dawdled for a while, then took out a piece of paper from the sleeve with a blushing face. The ticket was handed over to Xia Tian, ​​"Xiao Xia, next month will be the Fairyland Beast Watching Fair, can you ask me if your master is free?"

Xia Tian: ...As expected, he came here for his master.

Xia Tian wanted to reject the ticket in his hand, but Fairy Ling Xiao stuffed the ticket into his hand one step ahead of him, and leaned down and kissed his forehead gently.

Xia Tian: "!!!" It's too despicable to use a beauty trick.

"Please, Xiaoxia."

Fairy Ling Xiao blinked, watching Xia Tian, ​​who was flushed because of this kiss, chuckled and fled away first.

After a while, the overwhelmed Xia Tian looked at the ticket in his hand that he didn't know when he agreed to, and felt his head was getting bigger.

He wanted to help Master block all peach blossoms, not help Master assist. What if Master could not resist the temptation of the beauty and spent the rest of his life with Fairy Ling Xiao, what would he do!

Unknowingly, he returned to the forging room with the ticket in his hand, looking at the burning furnace in front of him, Xia Tian thought that he might as well let go of his hand, pretending to accidentally throw the ticket into the furnace and burn it.

With this in mind, he adjusted the ticket in his hand several times, simulating in his mind various scenes of accidentally burning the ticket, but suddenly his elbow was hit hard, and the ticket It literally floated into the stove.

In just a few seconds, the ticket was burned into carbon black by the stove, turned into ashes, and turned into dust and floated in the air.

"Hey, isn't this the ticket Fairy Ling Xiao gave you just now? I'm sorry, but you are too small and your hair is not fully grown. I really didn't notice."

"Haha, you hurt his heart too much by saying that. Xia Tian, ​​quickly reach out and touch the stove, maybe you can touch the ashes of the ticket and lick it."

Accompanied by a burst of laughter, Xia Tian looked back, only to find that a few tall boys had gathered around him at some point, their mocking eyes revealing malice.

The original body is actually more than 200 years old, the reason why he still maintains the appearance of twelve or thirteen years old is because he condensed the alchemy too early, and his appearance was finalized before the alchemy, which is a tragedy.It's not impossible to change this appearance, as long as the original body asks the master for help, he can get rid of it by refining the elixir that can change his appearance.

However, Yuan wanted to save face, he was embarrassed to speak to his master because of this kind of thing, so he could only practice hard by himself, and when he was able to conceive a baby, he would have another chance to change his appearance.

Because of this, in front of people who basically looked seventeen, eighteen, or in their twenties, Xia Tian was half a body shorter than most of the monks in the forging room. Compared with the tall and burly Teacher Wei Lin, even He didn't even reach his waist.

Being provoked so blatantly, Xia Tian squinted his eyes to look for the figure of the teacher, but his sight was blocked by those surrounded boys.

"Why, you don't want to tell the teacher that we are bullying you, do you?" The leading boy smiled unkindly, because they are much taller than Xia Tian, ​​and they are surrounded by an airtight, so that he can't see the outside world at all. situation.

Faced with such a situation, whether it is direct hand-to-hand combat or skillful magic attacks, he is currently at an absolute disadvantage. Even if he is lucky enough to wait until the teacher notices the situation here and makes a rescue, he may already be injured all over.

Since he was in a situation where he was going to suffer, Xia Tian gritted his teeth, holding on to the last hope and decided to give it a go, a wisp of pale white consciousness flew from his forehead, and attacked the head of the boy who was leading the trouble.

That was his divine sense, and he planned to use it to attack directly.

Consciousness is weak and weak, and strong is also powerful. High-level monks only need to sacrifice a few breaths of time to fight with the divine consciousness to win the result. Skilled people can even use the divine consciousness to overwhelm the opponent's consciousness. The sea is eroded, causing the opponent's sea consciousness to be damaged and become an idiot.

The leading boy obviously didn't think that Xia Tian would be forced to use such a desperate method, and immediately regained his senses and defended.

If this consciousness is casually sacrificed and damaged, a drop in cultivation base is considered a trivial matter. What is really scary is that it may directly scatter the consciousness.

Xia Tian's pale white consciousness struggled in the sea of ​​consciousness, seemingly weak but very tenacious, the boy tried his best to defend, but retreated within a few breaths, the sea of ​​consciousness was stirred upside down, causing the inner sea to tremble.

Feeling that the boy's sea of ​​consciousness was on the verge of collapsing, and there was a danger of his consciousness being broken, Xia Tian hurriedly withdrew his hand and took back his consciousness.

He clearly hadn't attacked yet, but just stirred it up with his thoughts, which actually caused the opponent's sea of ​​consciousness to collapse.

Xia Tian: [What's going on?Is the original owner's consciousness so powerful? ] He was prepared to suffer both sides, but he didn't expect it to be a unilateral killing.

[No, this consciousness is yours. ] System explanation: [The host has experienced so many worlds, and the power of divine consciousness is always stronger than that of ordinary monks. ]

The boy who was attacked had already been attacked because of the sea of ​​consciousness, his hands and feet twitched and fell down, and the heavy landing sound attracted the teachers on the side.

"what happened?"

As soon as the teacher saw those boys who were always mischievous in the class, and Xia Tian standing aside, he immediately guessed the general idea of ​​the matter.After hearing Xia Tian's narration, Wei Lin's complexion became even worse, and she reprimanded the boy standing beside her for a long time before squatting down to look at the boy whose consciousness was injured.

After looking over, Wei Lin was startled. Although he felt that the boy deserved to be injured by provoking Xia Tian, ​​it is one thing to fight in the school, but it is another thing to fight and hurt someone. He could only say with a dark face: "You guys All the troublesome boys stand for me first, and I will decide on the punishment later, I will go to Lin Ting Xianjun first, and heal the trauma of Xu Lin's spiritual consciousness."

Immortal Lin Ting's spiritual root attributes are mainly wood-type, and he is the best candidate to heal various wounds. In addition, Lin Ting's practical class in the afternoon is very close to their class. Human life, immediately gathered a message paper crane with spiritual power and flew over.

After this happened, it was impossible for Wei Lin to continue to attend class today, so except for the students involved in the incident, the rest of the class was dismissed early, and they were told not to tell what happened today.

"That's right." Wei Lin turned her head, looked at Xia Tian who was still standing aside with her head down, and said in a deep voice: "Although this matter is their fault, but Xia Tian also hurt your classmates, now, you also go back to your master to discuss the matter." Three days of confinement and reflection."

Although Wei Lin said it was a punishment, everyone present knew that the three-day confinement was not painful or itchy, and now he was asked to go back to find his master, just because he was afraid that Xu Lin's master would come and look for him later. Trouble, don't be too obvious in favor of maintaining Xia Tian.

"Thank you, teacher."

Xia Tian glanced at Wei Lin with some gratitude, then walked out of the forging room under the jealous eyes of the others, and went to find his master after class early.

An ink-colored figure coming from a distance happened to pass by Xia Tian who was rushing back.

...

As soon as Immortal Lin Ting arrived, the remaining students in the forging room stepped aside spontaneously, allowing him to reach Wei Lin unimpeded.

"what happened?"

The hem of the black clothes fell to the ground, Lin Ting asked lightly, his gentle voice was like a trickling stream, which relieved the nervousness of the people present.

"Hey, the children were fighting, and his consciousness was injured." Wei Lin smiled at Lin Ting honestly, as if talking about a trivial matter: "Xianjun Lin Ting, can you stabilize his sea of ​​consciousness? ?” Actually, he didn’t intend to make a big fuss, as it would have a bad impact on Xia Tian, ​​and it would be best to make it a small matter and solve it quietly.

Xia Tian is the only student he has seen in these years who is very talented in forging and worthy of cultivation. He doesn't want to affect his forging path because of such things.

Hearing this, Lin Ting squatted down, the green rattan wrapped around his fingertips, and gently penetrated into the center of Xu Lin's eyebrows, the person who was still twitching immediately calmed down.

"Okay." After a while, Lin Ting pulled out the cane, his white fingertips trembling slightly, and asked Wei Lin, who was relieved, with a deep face, "Which immortal monarch's apprentice hurt Xu?" Forest?"

Just now, when his rattan was poking into Xu Lin's sea of ​​knowledge, he found a lingering pale white consciousness. The familiar and warm feeling made him almost lose his mind at that moment, and he wished to grab it immediately. Dwell on that white divine consciousness, and follow it to find its owner who has been hiding for many years.

"Yes..." Wei Lin lied subconsciously when asked in such a low voice by Lin Ting, "It's Immortal Guanghua's apprentice Lingqiu, as you know, Immortal Guanghua has always been good at attacking with divine sense , so his apprentice also followed..." After finishing speaking, he asked a little nervously: "By the way, is Xu Lin's injury still serious after treatment? Will there be any sequelae after treatment?"

Is it Lingqiu, the apprentice of Immortal Guanghua...

Lin Ting's complexion was a bit subtle, he never expected that the person he had been looking for for so many years had been hiding under his nose, just watching him anxiously looking for him all these years, and not coming to see him, really. ..too cruel.

After being silent for a while, Lin Ting replied: "No, the attacker didn't intend to kill. He just caused such a result because he didn't control his power well. Xu Lin just sleeps and he will be fine."

Wei Lin's heart was finally let go, and she patted her chest: "That's good, that's good."

Anyway, Guanghua Xianjun's apprentice Lingqiu is used to skipping classes and skipping classes. He doesn't come to the classes he teaches eight out of ten times, since Xu Lin is fine now.Then he will have a discussion with Lingqiu at that time, and ask him to take this matter on the condition of letting him live. Anyway, there will be no punishment at that time, but it will be easier for the kid.

"Well, then I'll take my leave first."

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Lin Ting turned around slowly, but suddenly caught a glimpse of the phoenix that Xia Tian had just practiced hand-carving beside the iron stove.

Although it was only a rough prototype, Lin Ting seemed to think of something, and his heart was even more excited.

"By the way, Wei Lin, is this also made by Lingqiu?" Lin Ting stretched out his hand and took the Phoenix into his hands. The fingertips brushing against the iron were slightly hot, and even the pinnae of the ears were a little red, "Maybe give me?"

"Ah... this..." Wei Lin just wanted to shake her head to deny it, but then remembered the rumor that Lin Tingxianjun's own partner was a phoenix, and hurriedly said: "Okay, then you can take it. You helped that kid so much. Do me a favor, I think he would be willing too."

"Ah."

Lin Ting hummed from his nasal cavity, and happily walked away with Phoenix in his arms, the smile on his face was full of enviable pampering.

If it is said that the previous spiritual sense could not allow him to fully confirm his guess, then the Phoenix in his hand directly confirmed 100% that Lingqiu was Hanxiao's guess.

After all, apart from Hanxiao, who else would remember when he transformed into a beast and a little phoenix in the Baicao secret realm?

...

Seeing that Lin Ting could smile happily just holding the phoenix made of iron, Wei Lin felt for the first time that his back was a bit lonely and pitiful.

It is said that he loves the house and the black, but he did not expect that Lin Ting actually liked his Taoist companion to the point that as long as it is in the shape of a phoenix, he would like it so much...

Wei Lin felt that if he hadn't been there at that time, Lin Ting would have embraced the phoenix made of iron in her arms and kissed her...

The author has something to say: Lingqiu who was also shot while lying down: "???" Teacher, I provoke you!
