How many times the group portrait is spring

The apricots in the apricot grove outside Qingyun Hall were more than half ripe, and the apricot grove where only Qingyun Peak disciples used to come and go was also bustling.

The doctors in Xinglinju prepared scales and cloth bags, waiting to receive the apricots picked by the disciples, especially the almonds; the sect disciples walking in groups of twos and threes were also discussing how much the almonds in their hands were worth.

Ning Qing was using a bamboo stick to knock on the tall branch of apricot, and the next moment, she was startled by a girl in pink hanging upside down from the tree.

The girl smiled, called senior brother sweetly, picked two ripe apricots and put them in Ningqing's basket, and then jumped down from the tree decisively.

"Xiaojing." Ning Qing called helplessly, but couldn't hide the smile on his face.

As a junior, he has been spoiled since she was a child, and every time she does not take an unusual path, she can scare people.

"Senior brother, why did you come to pick apricots? Are you selling almonds to Xinglinju?" Yun Jing touched a soft apricot and ate it, keeping pace with Ning Qing while eating.

It's no wonder she asked such a question. Xinglinju harvesting almonds is a rare and exciting event for Xuantianzong in a year. The master of Qingyun Peak lifted the ban, and disciples in the sect can enter and leave the apricot forest at will, picking apricots in exchange for money. Xiu harvested almonds for medicinal purposes, which can be regarded as the best of both worlds.

However, in the matter of selling almonds, newcomers and ordinary disciples generally participate more, and core disciples like Ning Qing basically will not participate.

"The apricot forest is growing very well this year. I thought, pick some fruits and go back to make almond tea." Ning Qing was gentle and answered smoothly.

Yun Jing is used to being greedy, her eyes light up when she hears that there is something to eat, she touched the fruit pit in her hand and said with a smile: "Brother, you can't forget me if you have something to eat."

"nature."

Today seemed to be an unremarkable day, until the news of his senior brother's return from training caused waves in the sect. The return of the young suzerain was a major event, and what was even more important was that his senior brother brought an apprentice back.

The disciples asked each other if they knew the identity and background of the person brought back by the young suzerain. When the news reached Ning Qing, the version had evolved into that the young suzerain picked up a peerless genius on the side of the road and came back.

Ning Qing didn't believe it, he didn't know what kind of temper his senior brother had, let alone a peerless genius?Is there anyone in this world who can compare to the young master of Xuantian Sect?

His senior brother, Jing Rong, is not only the young master of Xuantian Sect, but also the unparalleled noble Taoist Rong Xie in this world, the darling of the world who dares to be as famous as the ancient gods.

Ning Qing thought about it, and he didn't stop watering his hands. He just planted the calamus seedlings outside the Hall of Chunlan. Although the calamus is resistant to cold, the weather in the northern region is erratic, and the calamus native to the southern region cannot tolerate it. living.

This transplanted calamus is still a young seedling, and the northern region is not its original place. Ning Qing doesn't know when the flowers will bloom, but his main focus on planting flowers is to nourish the body and mind, so it doesn't matter if this calamus is green all year round and has no flowers.

After taking care of the flowers and plants, Ning Qingfang changed his clothes and went to Lingxiao Peak, where Jing Rong lived. He listened to many disciples' discussions along the way, and had a rough understanding of the people Jing Rong brought back.

It's a young man with black clothes and black hair, and he doesn't understand monk rules at first sight.

After entering Lingxiao Peak, there are clouds and smoke around her sleeves, and green pines and cypresses stand proudly in the sea of ​​clouds. Ning Qing walked slowly, and heard the sound of phoenixes and cranes in the wind.

When he arrived at Lingxiao Hall, Jing Rong was talking to a man in black in the hall. Before Ning Qing could speak, Jing Rong raised his head and looked in Ning Qing's direction.

"Zhelan." Jing Rong's voice was low and steady, and when he glanced over, he saw that his jade crown and wide sleeves were the same color, against his unparalleled appearance, and people couldn't help sighing that he was indeed the chief of Xuantianzong, calm and yet at the same time boldness.

The man in black beside him wore a high ponytail, with a three-point smile between his brows and eyes. He was young and arrogant, and the two with completely different temperaments stood together unexpectedly harmoniously.

"Congratulations, senior brother, on his return from training." Ning Qing arched his hands, and then Jing Rong said, "Why should you be polite between you and my senior brother?"

As he said that, Jing Rong turned his gaze to the man beside him, and said, "Ling Yun, this is your Uncle Ning, Ning Zhelan."

"My name is Ning Qing, and my name is Zhelan." Ning Qing added.

"Master Ning, hello! My name is Mo Lingyun!" Mo Lingyun said with a smile, with sincere and generous eyebrows, it's hard not to feel good.

"Hi nephew." Ning Qing smiled very lightly, keeping a polite distance.

The weather at the end of June was hot and dry, and Lingxiao Peak was cooler due to the terrain. Ning Qing was about to leave after staying for a while. Jing Rong offered to see him off. The two brothers and sisters walked on the mountain path. It took a long time for Ning Qing to ask He said: "Brother, have you thought about it?"

It is a big event for Jing Rong to accept disciples.

Xuantianzong is the number one sect of the righteous way, and Jing Rong is the young master of Xuantianzong, the current chief disciple, and the future master of Xuantianzong.

Jing Rong had confiscated his disciples before, if Mo Lingyun was taken in, then he would be Jing Rong's first disciple, but now the suzerain is in seclusion, Jing Rong is in charge of the sect's internal affairs, and the young suzerain's eldest disciple who is not approved by the suzerain is after all a bit famous It's not right.

Even if Jing Rong was unsophisticated, he would not fail to think of this level.

Ning Qing only asked when they were alone with his brothers. Jing Rong was silent for a while, and replied: "The turmoil of the demon clan in the southern border has just stopped, and the change of power in the eastern border has shocked many cultivators. Everyone needs a Bring together the exciting things.”

This so-called inspiring thing, his appearance alone as an apprentice, is enough to shock the whole world.

What Jing Rong said was reasonable, but Ning Qing still felt that it was inappropriate, but just when he was about to say something, he saw a smile in Jing Rong's eyes, "Besides, Ling Yun suits my eyes, and his mind is also good." Yes, it won’t disappoint after all.”

The words of admonition stop at the mouth, Ning Qing has been a teacher brother with Jing Rong for decades, knowing that he is indifferent and has nothing to ask for, now he takes the initiative to accept an apprentice, which is very rare.
