When you wake up, all the apprentices are betrayed and leave the teacher's door

"Do you really think that that person only has Foundation Establishment?"

What does this mean?

Qiu Zhengming couldn't help frowning.

Lu Zhaozhou's cultivation base is higher than him, and he is now in the middle stage of Yuanying, and he is one of the best in the entire Wanjian sect.Although very unconvinced, for ascetics, the threshold of realm is the most difficult to cross.A monk at the Nascent Soul Stage must have learned more than his Golden Core Stage, so could it be that...

His throat tightened, and terrible conjectures gradually emerged in his mind.

Impossible, impossible.

Lu Zhaozhou must be blackmailing him on purpose!

Qiu Zhengming was restless, but it was impossible for Lu Zhaozhou to tell him the answer. He could only wander back and forth among the strange and astonishing conjectures. He was absent-minded and unable to swallow dinner.

It was three days after Lu Zhaozhou sealed the relevant documents and put them in a box, and entrusted the post station to send them to Daming Village on a fast horse. At this time, he had already returned to Wanjianzong with his brothers and sisters.

Now that the head of the sect can't retreat, it has been two years, and the affairs of the sect, large and small, have begun to be handed over to the other elders, or to be handled by him, the chief disciple.

The elder Lu Zhaozhou wanted to return to his life was another core figure of Wan Jianzong——Elder Zunfa.

Elder Zunfa's surname is Tan, and everyone calls him Elder Tan.

This Elder Tan holds a high position. Although he only has the cultivation level of the Fusion stage, he has been in Wanjianzong for more than 400 years.According to the records of the Zongmen Genealogy, he was originally a casual cultivator. After his hometown suffered a famine, he left his hometown and fled all the way. On the way, he happened to meet the big disciple of Wan Jianzong at that time—that is, the senior brother who is now the head of the sect.

Seeing that Elder Tan had a pitiful background and was honest and intelligent, the senior brother brought him back to the current sect and taught him carefully. Unfortunately, this junior brother Tan is not good enough in swordsmanship, and it can even be said that he is a bit clumsy. It took more than 50 years. Only gradually entered the Nascent Soul.

Originally, his qualifications were not enough to be an elder, but Wan Jianzong was just a small sect at that time, and it was not prosperous.The people in the sect are depressed, and the disciples only know how to cultivate immortals and practice swords, and no one takes care of the affairs, so they can only spend money and entrust a shopkeeper to take care of them.

But the shopkeeper was a thoughtful person, he made a set of fake account books to deceive Wan Jianzong, got a lot of money, and after the Dongchuang incident happened, he ran away with money.

After that, Elder Tan stood up and took over Wan Jianzong's mundane affairs. He is good at abacus, smart and flexible, and manages everything in an orderly manner.Soon, order and vitality were restored up and down inside the door.

In the next few hundred years, Wan Jianzong moved forward step by step, until it became the most important sect in the Six Realms today.

If the sect master is a golden signboard of Wan Jianzong, then Elder Tan is the unknown, silent and powerful pillar of Wan Jianzong.

Lu Zhaozhou went back to take a bath, and after tidying up his clothes, he visited Haichao Peak.

Haichao Peak is the residence of this Elder Tan, but because his cultivation base is lower than his brothers at the same time, and his swordsmanship is not advanced enough, so most of his disciples practice the art of elixir, and the number of people is small.

When Lu Zhaozhou arrived, there was only a new disciple sweeping the floor outside the hall, and told him: "Master is in retreat."

Venerable Dharma Elder also retreated? ?

Lu Zhaozhou was shut out, a little puzzled, so he had to go to the third in command of Wan Jianzong—Uncle Liu, Elder Liu.

This martial uncle is surnamed Liu, and his swordsmanship is superb. He is one of the best in the Wanjian sect, and he is only inferior to the master.It's just that he has a hot temper and is easily impulsive, so he rarely interferes with the affairs of the door.

But now that the two supervisors are retreating one after another, Lu Zhaozhou can only ask him to return.

When Lu Zhaozhou entered the palace, Uncle Liu was making wood carvings, which was also a way of meditation that he had discovered for decades.

Hearing the chief disciple's question, he said casually: "Your master Tan will go to retreat once every hundred years and concentrate on practicing. Don't worry, he will come out by himself after a while."

After finishing speaking, he asked again: "What did you want to say just now?"

Lu Zhaozhou then told all about Qiu Zhengming.

He has a meek personality, not a narrow-minded one.On weekdays, that kid Qiu Zhengming always trips and wears shoes for Lu Zhaozhou everywhere, the elders don't say anything about it, but they know it in their hearts.

"That old man Qi Xuan, he's not good enough." He clicked his tongue, "I can't compare with me and my senior brother, but I sent his little apprentice to compete with you every day, and it hasn't stopped for hundreds of years..."

"You have done a good job in this matter. You can punish yourself as you like. You don't have to look at Qi Xuan's face. It's just that you go to the secret realm as usual. Don't wrong yourself. Just add two more places."

Elder Liu has a deep relationship with the head of the sect, and his senior brother is not in retreat, so he naturally wants to help protect his senior disciple.

Lu Zhaozhou knew that this was the elder's kindness, so he didn't refuse.

Before leaving, Elder Liu thought of another thing, "By the way, what did you say that person's name just now... Daoist Yu, Yuqing?"

"Yes." Lu Zhaozhou stopped in his tracks and replied respectfully, "His Taoist name is Yuqing, his real name is Xianyu, and he is the head of Ruyimen."

wishful door...

Elder Liu has lived for more than 400 years. Although he can be regarded as a know-it-all, he has lived for a long time and remembered too many things, and many things are already blurred.

He frowned and thought for a while, "This name sounds very familiar."

"The disciple went to the alliance to check the records before returning. In the past 300 years, Ruyimen appeared dozens of times. However, each Ruyimen was short-lived and disappeared soon."

Lu Zhaozhou said cautiously, "It is probably taken from Jixiangruyi, so it is easy to bump into it. It is not a unique name."

Elder Liu pondered for a moment, but he still couldn't think of anything. He felt a little regretful, "Perhaps... I have never heard of the name Yuqing Daojun. Even with your cultivation base, you are barely evenly matched, and you still look like a young man. , Now, I'm a little curious."

Lu Zhaozhou subconsciously looked at the Frost Sword at his waist.

When he arrived that day, he happened to see the opponent draw his sword out of its sheath.

That sword was so sharp and sharp that he was fascinated by it, forgot the situation at that time, and almost blurted out: Beautiful!

It didn't take a few back and forth, anyone with eyes could see that Xian Yu completely suppressed Qiu Zhengming, and the opponent had no power to fight back.It's just that when the sword energy fell, it seemed to be full of murderous intentions, but it 'accidentally' revealed a flaw, which saved Qiu Zhengming's life.

At that time, Lu Zhaozhou didn't understand that Xian Yu didn't want to make a real move. He thought it was just a mistake in the sword technique, so when he saw Xian Yu slashing with his sword, Qiu Zhengming had no choice but to avoid it——

So Lu Zhaozhou made a move.

When the two swords collided, they were evenly matched.

At that moment, Lu Zhaozhou knew that he had lost.

If it weren't for the powerful spiritual power contained in the palm he pushed out later, that person might... even be able to shatter the Frost Sword.

Xian Yu lost in cultivation, but he only reached the late stage of foundation establishment.

Afterwards, Lu Zhaozhou deduced carefully, and felt that the strength of the person opposite him was far superior to him. Maybe it was some hermit who was able to come out of the mountain. In order not to let others know, he deliberately concealed his cultivation.

He also told Uncle Liu about this guess.

"What you said makes sense..."

It's just that the spiritual power is thin and the world is chaotic. Which hermit can become a great power in such an environment?

But Elder Liu didn't completely overthrow him, he just nodded slightly, "You step back first, I'll ask someone to investigate this Xianyu later."

After Lu Zhaozhou left, he put down the wooden carving in his hand, leaned on the chair and repeated over and over again: "Xianyu, Daoist Yuqing..."

After reading it dozens of times, he vaguely remembered that when he was young, during the sacrifice at home, he saw the tablet of a Taoist monarch worshiped by his elders, and the words on it seemed to be Yuqing.

It's just... that was hundreds of years ago.

Xian Yu squinted for a while, and suddenly heard the slight sound of footsteps.He dimly opened his eyes, and in front of him stood a man dressed in black, wrapped in a face scarf, with fierce eyes, staring at him expressionlessly as if crawling out of hell.

"!"

He was startled awake in an instant, blinked his eyes, and it took him a long time to remember that this was the new apprentice, Gu Rongjing, who was recruited two days ago.

Xian Yu sat up uncomfortably, and coughed twice: "Rong Jing, don't be so elusive, be calm."

Always like this, his few lives are not enough to scare.

"I knocked on the door."

Gu Rongjing said.

It means that he only came in after knocking on the door, so he is not considered elusive.

"..." Xian Yu didn't bother to argue with him, and said weakly, "What's the matter?"

Gu Rongjing said: "I thought of the answer to the last question."

It turned out that it was the homework left by Xian Yu casually before the battle with Qiu Zhengming a few days ago. If the young apprentice hadn't taken the initiative to talk about it, he would have almost forgotten it.

These few days he was in a hurry, the paperwork Lu Zhaozhou handled it very well, Xian Yu went to the entrance of the village to ask the old blacksmith to forge two swords, and when the sword was forged, he set off for the small secret realm when the time came.Without a weapon at hand, Xian Yu couldn't get out of bed, and was almost sick from boredom, so she could only pass the time by relying on the human painting book bought by Zhao Sheng.

Now that Gu Rongjing came here to ask for advice, Xian Yu cheered up, straightened his sitting posture, and said seriously: "Oh? Tell me."

Gu Rongjing opened his mouth.

"Life is for the sake of life, and also for life." He said, "What is survival? If you don't seek death, you are seeking survival."

This concept is very novel, if you don't want to die, you want to live. It seems to be the case in principle, but if you don't die...do you really count as life?

If it was someone else, Xian Yu would have stood up and argued eight hundred times.But for new apprentices, we still need to restrain ourselves and give more care and praise...

Xian Yu's gaze gradually became kind, gentle and encouraging.It's a pity that Gu Rongjing seemed completely unaware of Master's special care. After saying those two sentences, he slightly closed his mouth, lowered his eyelids, and returned to his original indifferent and calm appearance.

Ok?

and then?

The master and apprentice stared at each other for a long time, Xian Yu's eyes were staring dry, but Gu Rongjing still stood there quietly, without uttering a single unnecessary word.

After being stared at for a long time, he will still show a puzzled look.

Xian Yu: "..."
