Spiritual Masters

On the corridor from the mountain pass to the main hall, there are calligraphy and paintings hanging every few steps, and there is a gazebo at every corner.

When you get to the top of the mountain, you can see the clear pool water under the stone slabs, which is so clear that even the shadows of people can be seen.

Entering the main hall is where the disciples listen to their lectures. Chi Sheng felt a little cramped looking at the hundreds of wooden tables at least. He came early and there were not many people there. He hesitated for a moment and chose a central seat to sit down.

Not long after, many children came in groups, both boys and girls, all of his age. He held a brush to write and draw on the paper nervously, not daring to look up.

"Hey? Who is he?" A disciple exclaimed.

The other disciples followed the eyes of the voice and looked over.

Chi Sheng suddenly felt the scorching heat behind him, and a drop of sweat dripped from his forehead. He thought to himself, "Are these disciples looking at me?"

"I haven't seen it before. Does it look like a new disciple sent by the soul master?"

"Hey! I see"

"Of course you have to know, this is your fellow apprentice, right? Why do you put him where?"

"That's right, you soul sects are too disrespectful."

"No!" The voice lowered and said: "This kid is a beggar we picked up from outside when we took power!"

"What else?!" Another person raised his voice in surprise.

"That's right." The voice sneered: "Who wants to play with a beggar, so Brother Chu and Senior Sister Miao will take care of him, hahaha."

The surrounding voices became louder and louder because of the man's sneer. They changed from indifference at the beginning to sarcasm. Chi Sheng was aggrieved but did not dare to raise his head, so he could only bury it deeper and deeper.

It wasn't until the arrival of the master that the classroom quieted down, and he breathed a sigh of relief before he dared to slowly straighten his body and listen carefully to the master's lecture.

"Hey, you're sitting so straight that you're blocking my view."

The voice came from behind.

Chi Sheng immediately froze for a moment, collapsed his body, and said in a low voice, "Then I'll be lower."

The experience of going to school on the first day made Chi Sheng feel very uncomfortable, and he began to sob uncontrollably when he returned to his room.

Why do these people look down on him so much?And why do you want to exclude him like this?

He didn't dare to tell his brothers and sisters about these things, let alone his father, so he endured it silently.

After persisting in this way for more than half a month, Chi Sheng gradually got used to the rhetoric of those people, so he no longer took it seriously. He listened carefully in class, and still worked hard after school.

"Chi'er, do you want to be as good as your father?" Xie Jingliu looked at Chi Sheng who was scribbling on the desk and asked, "Do you understand what Mr. Lian taught today?"

Chi Sheng raised his head abruptly, put down his pen and said excitedly, "Father, can I also hunt monsters like the master said?"

"Now that you are eight years old, you can naturally practice with all the disciples." Xie Jingliu's face was full of love, and his eyes were shining brightly: "You are a good seedling, a good bone, and a genius who has learned this way. Chi'er, do you know this?" How rare is it?"

"Father, I want to learn!" Chi Sheng didn't understand what Xie Jingliu said, he just felt his blood boiling, he wanted to become stronger so that those disciples would no longer dare to laugh at him.

"Good boy."

Xie Jingliu led Chi Sheng across the stone bridge and came to a mountain road with bamboo on both sides, this road was covered with cobblestones.

"Take off your boots." Xie Jingliu said.

Chi Sheng was at a loss: "Why?"

Xie Jingliu said seriously: "This is Qingquan Mountain Road, all disciples who join the sect need to go from here barefoot to Guanyunju to worship the ancestors of the sect."

"En!" Chi Sheng took off his boots and stood barefoot on the ground. The cobblestones were slippery and hard to walk on. He climbed step by step to Guanyunju at the end of the slope with pain on his face.

The mountain road was fine when walking on a flat road, but it was very slippery when going up, and some cobblestones still had moss on them. He climbed to the door with difficulty while holding his robe.

I saw Xie Jingliu Qinggong standing in front of him with a few steps: "Get up, stand."

Xie Jingliu opened all four doors of Guanyunju, and Chi Sheng saw from a distance that inside there were white lotus lanterns hanging in the air, filled with spiritual tablets, and the first five spiritual tablets were made of jade.

"Come here, kneel down and kowtow to our ancestors." Xie Jingliu stood outside the door and waved to him.

Chi Sheng hurriedly ran over, stepped over the threshold of Guanyunju, lifted up his robe and knelt on the ground, bowed three times and kowtowed nine times.

He saw clearly this time that five people's names were written on the white jade spirit tablet, Immortal Master Ning Jiusi, Master Mu Gui, Master Yan Xiangming, Master Yan Qu Xinghun, and Master Fushen Weapon.

He is the master of the five founding schools, taught by his master.

After paying homage to the ancestors, he turned around and kowtowed to Xie Jingliu: "Master, I am honored by my disciples."

Xie Jingliu nodded and helped him up, took a glass of water from the fountain at the entrance of Guanyunju, poured a drop of "wax" into it, and handed it to Chi Sheng: "This is the spirit, you are the "teacher", drink this Cup Ling, you are associated with the spiritual master sect called "spiritual pulse", and you will be a real spiritual master from then on."

Chi Sheng took it and drank it down. Xie Jingliu took out a plum blossom pendant from his arms and squatted down to hang it on his waist: "This is the token of the soul master sect. From now on, you will be a disciple of my soul master sect. .”

"Yes, Master!"

Now that he has formally joined the sect, besides going to the academy every day, he also has an extra homework - training in the martial arts field.

If the teaching in the academy is theory, then the martial field is practice.

The practice in the martial arts field is hard and difficult, and the basic skills must be practiced against the sun every day.

Chi Sheng is indeed as talented as Xie Jingliu said, with excellent comprehension, and he started to learn the Zhenpai Taoism faster than his disciples who went to the martial arts field at the same time.

Not long after he practiced, the master in the martial arts field discovered that he had excellent bones, and besides the soul school's Taoism, the other two schools of Taoism were also compatible.

The other two factions came to look for Chi Sheng when they learned about it, and both of them were very excited about him, calling him a rare genius in a thousand years.

Chi Sheng has been in the limelight recently, and all the disciples in the school don't like him. Anyway, he is used to it. These disciples detested him before, but now they despise and envy him. They are as annoying as a group of clowns.

He packed his things, looked inside the school, and saw that the disciples had almost left, so he was about to get up.

"Beggar, why do you look like a thief?"

He turned around and saw three boys standing behind him, all looking at him with disdain.These people really haven't changed in a few years.

He said coldly, "I'll pack my things."

"Pack up?" The tall boy in the middle walked over and pulled the bag in his hand forcefully, and scattered all the things on the ground: "Did you pack your own things, or did you pack other people's things?"

He saw his things scattered all over the floor, opened his eyes slightly, and said angrily, "What are you doing?"

"See if you little beggar has stolen other people's things!" The tall man ignored him and sneered, "You have no father or mother, and no one disciplines you. We, as seniors, naturally have to help discipline you, lest you Your hands and feet were not clean, you made a mistake and went astray."

"You!" The veins on Chi Sheng's forehead popped up, he slammed into the tall man forcefully and said, "You guys are too much, I have never provoked you!"

The tall man was knocked down and fell to the ground. The two boys next to him hurriedly helped him up, looked at him in disbelief and said, "How dare you bump into someone?!"

The other also pointed at him and scolded: "Smelly beggar, your skin is itchy!"

Chi Sheng gritted his teeth and rushed at them, and the four of them immediately fought together. He lost to the three of them and was beaten with bruises and swollen faces.

Maybe it was because they made too much noise and attracted other brothers to come over, separated them and notified the people of each faction.

Chi Sheng was injured all over his body. Seeing that the three of them were taken away by his senior brothers and sisters, he felt wronged, no one would come to pick him up.

He didn't dare to go back, so he wandered around Qingquan Mountain and came to a place where no one was there. It was very quiet, there were a few big trees around, and a lawn underneath.

He looked at the thickest tree, thought for a moment, and climbed onto the branch of that tree with hands and feet, because of the high altitude, his legs were weak and he hugged the trunk tightly.

The tree could clearly see below, and the wind calmed him down. He turned over and lay on the tree trunk to watch the leaves rustle by the wind.

Chi Sheng stayed on the tree for a while, thinking that Master should be worried if he didn't go back.He slowly sat up and looked at his feet and muttered softly: "It's so high..."

Sitting until the sky was dark, he was anxious and was about to pluck up the courage to jump down when he heard footsteps, and immediately shrank back.

Although Qingquan Mountain will be divided into day and night, but at night, the whole mountain will automatically light up with floating lights.

The so-called floating lamps are lamps the size of fireflies made of soul consciousness.

It is invisible during the day, and only at night will they float in the air and light up every corner, so disciples do not need to hold lights when entering and leaving.

The man walked hurriedly, as if he was looking for something.Chi Sheng lay down on the tree trunk and saw the man clearly. It was his senior brother Chu Yu.

Brother is here to pick him up!

"Brother!" Chi Sheng shouted happily.

"Achi?" Chu Yu turned around and saw no one, and asked in confusion, "Achi, where are you?"

"Brother, I'm on the tree!" Chi Sheng wanted to hug the trunk and shake it a few times, but the tree was too thick to move at all.

Chu Yu looked up and saw him hugging the branch, he couldn't laugh or cry: "Why did you run up there? Come down quickly."

Chi Sheng said with some embarrassment: "Brother, I... I dare not go down."

"You..." Chu Yu covered the corners of his mouth and laughed twice, he walked under the tree trunk and stretched out his hand: "Jump down, brother will follow you."

Chi Sheng looked at the people under his feet, hesitated, closed his eyes and jumped down. Feeling the warmth from his body, he dared to open his eyes and saw Chu Yu hugging him tightly with his arms.
