Chapter 15: Private Transmission
This beautiful woman was naturally Tian Ling'er, she saw that Zhang Xiaofan was injured and was worried in her heart, she quietly ran over to visit, not realizing that her mother was also here, so she hid outside the door and didn't show herself until Su Ru left.
At this time, she looked at Zhang Xiaofan as if he was frozen, and couldn't help but snap, "What are you standing there for?"
Zhang Xiaofan awoke with a start, his face flushed, and was about to find an excuse to part with his words, but he saw Tian Ling'er lower her head, and it turned out to be Big Yellow running over, rubbing his head against her leg in an extremely affectionate manner.
Tian Ling'er bent down and touched Big Yellow's head, Big Yellow stuck out her tongue and licked her jade-like hand.
"Squeak squeak squeak", the monkey Little Grey's voice rang out, the two men and the dog looked at the same time, only to see Little Grey running behind Big Yellow, pulling on its big tail and pulling it backward, seemingly trying to pull Big Yellow away from Tian Ling'er. Feeling Tian Ling'er's surprised gaze, Little Grey raised its head and suddenly showed its teeth and grinned at Tian Ling'er in a vicious manner.
Tian Ling'er was not angry and even made a face at the monkey as well.
Ever since Little Ash followed Zhang Xiaofan back, he got along fine with everyone else, except for her who held a great grudge against her, but she was taken aback when she saw that Big Yellow, who had always been at odds with Little Ash, turned his head and actually didn't get angry, but instead, he was very affectionate and played and fought with Little Ash.
"What's going on here?" Tian Ling'er asked Zhang Xiaofan, pointing at the monkey and dog that were jostling together.
Zhang Xiaofan told the story about Little Grey using the meat bone to get close to him, and Tian Ling'er lost her voice and laughed out, scolding with a smile, "I can't imagine that this dead monkey would still do this!" Saying this, her bright eyes turned, her gaze fell on Zhang Xiaofan and looked up and down, saying, "By the way, my father beat you up today, is there anything uncomfortable?"
Zhang Xiaofan shook his head and said, "It's fine, senior sister."
Tian Ling'er said rather indignantly, "Father is also really, why take it out on you if you are not comfortable in your heart!"
Zhang Xiaofan quickly said, "No, it's because I'm stupid that I made Master angry..."
Tian Ling'er glared at him, Zhang Xiaofan could not go on, half-open mouth, Tian Ling'er grunted, said: "In fact, it has nothing to do with you, it is not my father saw the qualifications of those two people are good, the heart is not comfortable, so only..." said half, she glanced at Zhang Xiaofan, thought so is not to say that the younger brother is very stupid, so he changed his mouth, not to say. She changed her mind and said, "Just now, my mother came over, what is the matter?"
Zhang Xiaofan honestly said, "Senior Mother also came to visit me, and also gave me a 'rhubarb dan', the spirit is very spiritual, I ate one and all healed."
"Rhubarb Dan?" Tian Ling'er seemed taken aback.
"Yes!" Zhang Xiaofan looked up at her and said, "What's wrong?"
Tian Ling'er looked at this junior brother twice more and said, "This is my father's treasure, I heard my mother say that it was refined by picking twenty-three kinds of spiritual medicines, and its function is so marvelous that all of you, including me, have not been blessed to have taken it!"
Zhang Xiaofan opened his mouth wide, Tian Ling'er's eyes rolled and said to herself, "Can it be that father is actually treating you differently, but it doesn't look like it!"
Zhang Xiaofan said, "It must be Master's compassion, seeing that I was injured, he graciously gave me spiritual medicine. His old man is really broad-minded!"
Tian Ling'er laughed: "My father, he is broad-minded... Hey, hey, forget it, I won't talk to you. Hey, why is there the sound of rain?"
Zhang Xiaofan side ear to listen, really heard outside the house faintly came "pattering" sound of rain.
Tian Ling'er went to the window, pushed open the window, a stream of cold mountain wind suddenly blew into, with cold rain powder, brushed the face, cool.
Zhang Xiaofan walked over and stood beside her, looking out.
It was a silent and dark night with rain falling from the sky. The entire heaven and earth was dark, and as far as the eye could see, there were only the blurred shadows of the pines and bamboos in the small courtyard outside the house.
The rain fell from the night sky, in the darkness of the night, in the eyes of Zhang Xiaofan's teenager, it seemed to carry a few moments of gentleness, to the point where he suddenly felt that this night was beautiful, this rain was entwined, and even the crispness of the rain hitting the bamboo leaves was melodious and resounded in the depths of his soul.
Just because beside him, there is such a beautiful woman, lifting her head, with seven points of youth, two points of joy and even one point of bleak beauty, looking at the rain in a daze!
Behind him, rhubarb and little gray do not know when to quiet down, rhubarb lazily lying on the bed, a pair of dog eyes half open and half closed, little gray is also rare calm, sitting next to the rhubarb, a pair of hands in the rhubarb thick and soft fur rummage.
The candle flame flickered, flickering in the mountain wind, occasionally emitting a "splat" sound.
"It's raining!" Tian Ling'er suddenly said quietly.
Zhang Xiaofan responded, "Yes!"
Tian Ling'er gazed at the night color for a while longer, slowly turned around, returned to the table, and whispered, "Xiaofan, close the window! It's a bit cold."
Zhang Xiaofan nodded and closed the window, and when he turned back, he saw Tian Ling'er sitting at the table seemingly a bit absentmindedly, taking out a locket from her bosom, opening it under the lamplight, and looking at it carefully.
The candle flame reflected in her charming and bright eyes, like two gentle but blazing flames.
"What do you say, is this Cooling Bead beautiful?" Tian Ling'er's gaze lingered on this small bead that emitted a soft luster, as if even her voice sounded fluttering and unceasing, just like Zhang Xiaofan's heart, which was empty and slowly sinking.
He walked over, gathering all his courage and using all his strength to make himself look this calm.
Tian Ling'er lifted her head to look at him, suddenly realizing that the eyes of this one ordinary senior brother at this moment were actually this bright, even with a hint of fervor and pain.
"Pah," she gently closed the locket and softly asked, "Xiaofan, what's wrong with you?"
Zhang Xiaofan lowered his head, and after a moment of silence, he whispered, "I'm fine, Senior Sister."
Tian Ling'er was strange in her heart, but she didn't think much about it and stood up, "Alright, it's late at night, I should go back too."
Zhang Xiaofan stood up woodenly, Tian Ling'er walked a few steps, suddenly stopped and returned with a smile, in an instant that beauty pounced on Zhang Xiaofan's heart, "Look at my memory, I even forgot what I wanted to come and do tonight." Saying that, she took out a thin paper from her bosom with small words densely written on it and handed it to Zhang Xiaofan.
Zhang Xiaofan took it and looked at it for a few moments, then changed his face and lost his voice, "Taiji Xuanqing Dao Technique! Sister, this..."
Tian Ling'er gave him a blank look and snapped, "Why are you shouting so loudly?"
Zhang Xiaofan hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "Senior sister, this is the third layer of the magic skill! You..."
"Me?" Tian Ling'er hummed and said, "I'm naturally going to pass it on to you."
Zhang Xiaofan was shocked and said, "What?"
Tian Ling'er said, "I know that Father has always looked down on you, and it's even more uncalled for for him to be angry with you today. Hmph, I just can't stand to see him chastise you in return for not being able to teach his disciple well himself. You take this spell and secretly practice on your own, when will you practice to show my father, never again be so humiliated like today."
Zhang Xiaofan frowned tightly and said, "But Senior Sister, in case Master Master and Mother find out, won't they scold you?"
Tian Ling'er impatiently said, "You also said it's scolding, at most they will scold me a few times and lock me up for a period of time, so what? I can't let you be bullied anyway!"
Zhang Xiaofan's whole body shook, his heart was suddenly hot, looking at Tian Ling'er's playful standing figure, he could not utter a single word.
At this moment, his heart was surging with hot blood, even if he was allowed to die for this woman in front of him, he would never hesitate to do so.
Tian Ling'er added: "Remember to use more effort yourself, and strive to make a tie with that stinky Lin Jingyu as soon as possible, but you can't compare to Senior Brother Qi Hao even if you practice again, so don't even think about it." Saying this, she waved her hand and instructed, "Keep it a secret oh." After saying that, she walked out of the room and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
"You can't compare to Senior Brother Qi Hao even if you practice!"
There were thirteen words in this sentence, and every word hit Zhang Xiaofan's heart heavily, his face suddenly lost its blood color, and subconsciously, he grasped the piece of white paper in his hand.
Mountain rain, heaven and earth solemn, who looked at the night that a young man, into the rain, looking up at the sky!
※※※
Early in the morning, after the rain, the damp mountain wind blew across the top of the Big Bamboo Peak with a cool feeling. Zhang Xiaofan came to the familiar kitchen and made a fire to boil water.
The firewood chopped and snapped between the stoves, the bright yellow flames were like demonic spirits dancing wildly on the wood, reflecting his face red. Zhang Xiaofan held a thin firewood as a burning stick, fiddling with the firewood in the stove room with one stroke, lost in thought.
"You can't compare to Senior Brother Qi Hao even if you practice!"
This sentence, he had recited it silently in his heart a thousand times, each time he read it, it broke his heart. He knew that this was silly, and that Senior Sister didn't actually mean any harm, she was just stating what everyone recognized as the truth.
But he still couldn't help but think about it, desperately, like there was such a wild burning flame between his heart, endlessly burning the mind until the flame burned his hand.
"Ouch!" Zhang Xiaofan exclaimed and leapt backward, it turned out that when he was lost in thought, the stove fire burned the thin firewood in his hand and scorched his hand along the way.
He hugged his hand and blew into the painful area, ran to the water tank and dipped his hand into the cool water, a cold chill poured up, Zhang Xiaofan laughed lowly and bitterly, what he needed the most right now was not anything, but a burning stick.
"Well, well, well." Several cries rang out at the door, Zhang Xiaofan could hear that it was Big Yellow's cries, but he just couldn't figure out how the usual "Woof Woof Woof" had turned into "Woof Woof Woof Woof".
He walked out of the door to see, not feel lost in laughter, it turned out that rhubarb and small gray fight, biting a short black stick in the mouth, the other end of the short stick by the small gray grabbed in the hand, pulling hard, both sides argued, rhubarb screaming in the mouth, but biting the short stick ambiguous, so it has become a strange "Woof Woof Woof".
Zhang Xiaofan walked forward, reached out and grabbed the short stick, waved his hand to drive away the small gray and rhubarb. Unexpectedly, they were still reluctant, "Woof woof woof" and "squeak squeak squeak".
Zhang Xiaofan waved his hand and threatened, "Go, go, go, don't make a scene here, or I won't give you food at noon."
Big Yellow and Little Gray looked at each other, one growled, one made a face, then Little Gray jumped on the dog's back, Big Yellow carried it and swaggered away from Zhang Xiaofan's front, with a great sense of contempt, Zhang Xiaofan was furious.
Cursed at the two animals, Zhang Xiaofan turned into the kitchen, only to realize that the short stick in his hand is half a year ago, the trip to the Valley of the strange black short stick, I think it is a small gray naughty, I do not know when and from the corner of the turn out of the thing, to bring to play with rhubarb.
Zhang Xiaofan sighed, suddenly a move in his mind, quickly walked to the stove side, the short black stick as a fire stick fiddled with a few times, actually extremely handy, and this stick do not know what material, the fire can not be burned, also does not transfer heat, baked half a day or cool silk.
Zhang Xiaofan nodded his head repeatedly, thinking that this is just the right thing to use.
Poor that has passed away the devil elder black heart old man, if he knew he spent a lifetime of effort to refine the "blood devouring beads", the world's most important treasure of the devil, actually fell to the point of doing the burning stick, must be angry from the grave to live and die over it!
※※※
This day in the midday, the big bamboo peak people sitting in the dining hall, Tian Yiqi the latest walked in, sat on the seat, raised his eyes to the disciples, when his eyes fell on Zhang Xiaofan, he stopped for a moment, Zhang Xiaofan lowered his head, Tian Yiqi then removed his gaze.
"You all saw what happened yesterday?" Tian Yiqiu said indifferently.
The crowd was silent, only Song Da Ren accompanied with a smile and said, "Yes, Master showed great power and shot to punish those two..."
"Bullshit!" Tian not easy to suddenly let out a loud voice, sound shocked the whole field, the crowd was silent, only to hear Tian Bu Yi angrily said: "Yesterday's incident, you should see the other veins of the deep cultivation of teachers and brothers, not to mention that Qi Hao, even just three years of the little guy, but also outperformed the majority of you, ran up to the Bamboo Peak up to the wild. Do you guys know that?"
The crowd was silent, only Zhang Xiaofan suddenly raised his head.
Tian Yuxi coldly said, "The Seven Veins Martial Arts is just around the corner, you guys who are no longer capable, from today onwards all of you will be in seclusion, and if you don't cultivate to a look out, see if I don't peel your skins!"
The people have a bitter face, but did not dare to say a word, Tian Ling'er carefully asked: "Father, then I will..."
"The same goes for you!" Tian Yanyu categorically said.
The corner of Tian Ling'er's mouth pouted, and she was about to speak, but she was secretly tugged by her mother. She turned her head to look at Su Ru's eyes, and the words that were originally on the verge of her mouth shrunk back.
Tian Yi Yi's words echoed in the Hall of Shou Jing: "In the future, except for Old Seven who is responsible for food and drink, all of you will not be allowed to go out in this one and a half years, and will practice in seclusion, got it?"
Just like this, time rushed by, under the calm atmosphere of Da Zhu Peak, a layer of unprecedented tension was shrouded, all the disciples were concentrating on practicing the dao, except for a leisurely yellow dog, a mischievous gray monkey, and a bored cook.
