Chapter 51 Revenge Plan
Being different usually brings pride, but being unique in everything is inevitable that it is a bit strange and even feeling abandoned.
The first day Xiaoqiu came to Yangshen Peak was not very smooth. Liuguang Baojian refused to identify his cultivation. The Ancestor Tower even made a big joke with him: first it showed all the inheritance, but finally it showed him an unknown inheritance that had been interrupted for many years and only female disciples.
Lin Sa's serious expression was still flashing in Xiaoqiu's mind. The scholar did not regard the abnormality of the Ancestor Tower as a joke. He forbids his disciples from choosing the nameless subject. His tone was not only a reminder but also a hint of disgust. This disgust may have nothing to do with Xiaoqiu, but he just thought that the inheritance should be interrupted forever.
"I should really come to Yangshen Peak one day later, practice for a month before going to the Ancestor Tower." After lunch, I could move freely for the rest of the day. Xiaoqiu was not in the mood to stroll around and came to Daliang Chen Xiuming's room again.
"It's okay, you will be able to catch up soon, and Shen Ji won't be so proud by then. Alas, he really has a hole in his seven orifices and has successfully overcome the four disasters of Fenglei Mountain and Fire. Brother Xiao Qiu, you must surpass him."
Xiaoqiu smiled, vaguely remembering that he had already succeeded in overcoming the disaster, but it seemed like an unreal dream. He walked to the bed and sat on it, "Let's talk about revenge, Shen Ji now - what are your expressions?"
Daliang opened his mouth and wanted to speak, as if Xiaoqiu had done something that was too much and he was not easy to remind him, "Uh... well... that's right, the teachings said on the first day that the monks 'eat different foods and sit on different seats', so... so everyone has to live in a separate room."
Xiaoqiu stood up and glanced at the low and hard wooden bed, "I'm sorry, I have to slowly learn the rules of Yangshen Peak."
Daliang's face turned red, "Brother Xiaoqiu, you sit down, it doesn't matter, my practice... will not affect it."
Xiaoqiu smiled, "I'd better go and have a sleep. I haven't really fallen asleep in the past month. I might fall in front of you after a while."
Although Daliang tried his best, Xiaoqiu still returned to Room 37, next door, the last room in a row of houses, with the same layout. Xiaoqiu pulled out the rattan box under the bed, which contained several clothes to change clothes and few personal belongings. He put Bairundan and copper ring in it, sat on the bed and was stunned, and he fell asleep. He was indeed sleepy, unable to think, nor did he want to think.
When you wake up, maybe everything will become normal.
Without dreams and no disturbances, Xiaoqiu did not realize how sweet it was until he opened his eyes.
"We've disturbed you?"
"No."
Xiaoqiu turned over and sat up, staring at Fangfang and Xiao Qingtao. It was not until they were a little uncomfortable or even a little panicked that they were sure that this was definitely not a dream.
"Are you still awake?" Fangfang asked.
"Didn't it mean that practitioners 'eat different foods and sit on different seats'? You..."
Fangfang and Xiao Qingtao sat by the bed. It seemed that they had been here for a while. "If you care, we will leave."
"No, I don't care, but... this will affect your practice."
"It doesn't have that much impact. Besides, I'm 'knowing nothing' now, so what's there to worry about." Fangfang really didn't care. Even the fact that there was no progress in practicing Taoism did not seem to affect her mood.
She is very happy.
Xiao Qingtao was even happier, her round eyes were bent into two crescent moons, and she finally couldn't help but speak, "Brother Xiaoqiu, everyone misses you very much, Fangfang misses you especially. You obviously did nothing wrong, and it's really unfair to let you think about it for a month."
Xiaoqiu scratched the back of his head, but he was still not used to the soft "Brother Xiaoqiu". He touched it in his arms a few times and took out the small skin and a copper coin, "This is what Erliang left for you."
Xiao Qingtao was stunned for a moment, the smile on her face disappeared instantly, and then it solidified into horror and confusion, as if she had heard bad news like a bolt from the blue.
Xiaoqiu regretted it and cast a look at Fangfang asking for help.
Fangfang hugged Xiao Qingtao's shoulder and said softly: "If you want to cry, just cry. You have been enduring it for so long."
Tears rolled in her eyes, but in the end it didn't flow out. Xiao Qingtao raised her hand and wiped it off, and took the skin and copper coins into her hands. "Even if the Taoist Pangshan drove me out of the mountain gate in the future, Furong Mountain would not let me go home-" Xiao Qingtao blushed. She had never made such a firm oath, and she was a little embarrassed, "I will avenge Chen Xiuwei in five years."
It was almost dusk, and the light in the small room was dim. Xiao Qiu stood up on the bed. He had seen many things that confused him on this day, and it was like a dream. At this time, he finally heard a sentence that he thought he would have heard long ago, "You must take revenge!"
Fangfang and Xiao Qingtao looked up at him.
Xiaoqiu sat down again and whispered: "Five years sounds like a long time. It's just a blink of an eye for the monks. We can't just imagine, we have to make a plan."
"Call Chen Xiuming, he must want to avenge his younger brother more." Xiao Qingtao made a suggestion.
Xiaoqiu nodded, "I'll call Daliang, and then ask others what they think. Where is it more convenient to speak? It's not big enough or hidden enough."
"Go to the Banyuelin in the east, where it is the quietest." Xiao Qingtao immediately thought of a place.
Daliang didn't say anything and followed Xiaoqiu out, and the two went to another house to find someone.
Chen Hao pushed the door and saw the two of them, he nodded and said, "You have been sleeping all the time. I've wanted to go find you. Come on, let's discuss Erliang's affairs."
Xiaoqiu felt that these people were almost the same, so Chen Hao decided to call all the partners of Yelin Town, "Everyone cares about Erliang's affairs, one more person, and more strength."
The Banyue Forest is located on the edge of Yangshen Peak. The tree species are different from other places. They are all thin white birch and are sparsely distributed. It is said that it is very suitable for viewing the crescent moon. Xiaoqiu didn't realize it. He stood on a protruding huge rock and looked around and found that it was indeed suitable for secret talk. If outsiders approached, they could see it at a glance.
A little further east is not the range of Yangshen Peak. A line is separated by a line, and the other side is covered with snow. The scenery with strong contrast looks quite thrilling.
The discussion was not very successful. There were nine people in total. I spent most of my time missing Erliang, expressing my anger towards Shen Geng, but I had no detailed thoughts on how to take revenge.
"Daliang, tell me." Xiaoqiu saw that the sky was dark, and he interrupted everyone's words and decided to speak one by one.
"I said... let's practice hard, and the first step is to get the trick, then pass the level, and then the elixir. Five years later, we must let Shen Geng know that we are not weaker than him at all."
"What's next?" Chen Hao asked.
"Next... let's take a look at Shen Geng's attitude. If he refuses to admit his mistake, I...I will fight him to the death."
"What if I admit my mistake?"
Daliang was speechless when asked, "Then, I will keep suppressing him in my practice. He has been delaying for five years and will definitely not be as good as us."
"He will not admit his mistake." Xiao Qiu said, and many voices suddenly echoed in his mind, all of which were curses full of resentment and shouts of dissatisfaction. "When I was thinking about the cliff, I heard him talking to himself. After he came out, he would kill people, or in his words, "eliminate demons", the target was us."
Everyone was stunned. After a while, Da Liangcai said hesitantly: "Brother Xiaoqiu, have you heard Shen Geng's voice? Have you... thought about it together?"
"Of course not. Thinking about mistakes is a cave for everyone, but he is not too far from me, and I can hear his voice clearly."
"Do you always hear it, or occasionally?"
Xiaoqiu was a little annoyed, "This is not important. The key is that Shen Geng hates me and hates all of you. He thought that the master would cover us up and even kill people after five years."
The crowd was silent for a while, and Mu Feihuang spoke, "Shen Geng is going to be a demon? If this is the case, the problem will be simple. In five years, he will be eradicated and become a useless person, which is similar to... that madman in Mei."
Such a conjecture aroused everyone's interest, and Daliang most hoped for such a result, "The Grandmaster and the First Captain will avenge Erliang, which is better than killing Shen Geng."
Xiaoqiu didn't know how to express the urgency of the situation to his partners. In the past month, he heard Shen Geng's voice many times. He was definitely not a person who was about to be deviled. On the contrary, Shen Geng's voice became more and more calm, and in the end there was no emotional fluctuation at all. He just spoke his wish in his heart in a dull way.
"Tear the demon!" These are two words that Shen Geng frequently said. In Xiaoqiu, Shen Geng not only would not become a demon, but would probably go further in his practice, and even rely on his own efforts to condense his energy into a pill.
Chen Hao spoke, "Stop, are we just waiting for Shen Geng to apologize or become a demon? If such a good thing really happens, why should we gather here to discuss? If I want me to say, we have to avenge Erliang in a dignified manner. Don't every disciple of Pang Shan who condenses Qi into a pill have to participate in a competition?"
"You have to forge a magic weapon yourself." Mu Feihuang added, "The official name of the competition is 'Competition Combination of the Artifacts'. It is said that only in this competition will the Taoist priests will not be punished for killing people."
"Really?" Daliang didn't believe it very much.
"I heard from a senior brother that he knows everything. Anyway, we just practice hard and avenge Erliang when we combine the instrument and discuss the Tao."
Finally there was a shadow of planning. Xiaoqiu said: "Let's go and ask about the details of the art of combining the instrument. If this is true, it will be the time for us to take revenge in five years."
"Shen Geng is now passing the Dao Fruit. In five years, he doesn't even have an inner alchemy. How can he be qualified to participate in the Art of Combining the Dao?" Daliang remembered a question.
Passing the level is another name for the three fields. If you cross this state, you can condense qi and form elixirs. It is also considered to be the most difficult level among the nine-level Taoist fruits. Most Taoists can only sigh at the pass.
"Don't underestimate Shen Geng. Although he thought about his mistakes alone, his practice will not fall behind. He is likely to condense his energy into a pill within five years."
"What about us?" Mu Feihuang's eyes swept across everyone, "Chen Hao has made the fastest progress, and now he has only opened the four orifices of the ears and noses. After a disaster, he has said that the more difficult it is, the more difficult it will be. Most people will take ten years to refine the inner alchemy. In five years, it will be very difficult for anyone to pass the level. After all, we are not Taoist children like Shen Geng."
"That's right, today I saw many Taoist priests named Shen in the inheritance of the precepts."
"There are many Five Elements Departments." Chen Hao said that although Shen may not be a family, Shen Geng had already understood the Three Fields at the age of 10, which really reminds people of his family background.
"I've already understood the Three Fields." Xiao Qiu said, and as soon as he said that, he was a little vague, "I remember this, but I have to go out of the Yangshen Peak to verify it."
Yangshen Peak restricts spell casting. Xiaoqiu must leave here and go to the ice and snow outside to know if the experience of the past month is all dreaming.
