Dong-dong-dong, there was a knock on the door.

Without looking, he knew it was Zhu Dashan, and Zhou Shu opened the door.

Zhu Dashan said carelessly, "Brother Zhou, it's time to do chores today."

"I almost forgot, let's go."

Zhou Shu hesitated for a moment, then walked to the Washing Courtyard with Zhu Dashan.

"Still a double chore, right?"

Zhou Shu said with gratitude, "Well, I'm sorry to trouble you, Lao Zhu."

"No trouble, no trouble, it's just a trivial matter," Zhu Dashan patted his chest happily, "You helped me more. With your guidance, I'm going very smoothly now. I'm only forty-nine Qi meridians away from my goal, haha, say

Maybe among the three of us, I will be the first to enter the inner door!"

When he talked about Qimai, the smile on his face couldn't be stopped and he was extremely happy.

From less than a hundred Qi meridians to now having two hundred opened, it is simply unbelievable. A cultivator who is recognized as only able to refine the body can now actually practice Qi normally. This makes Zhu Dashan feel excited all the time. Therefore,

He has always regarded Zhou Shu as his best brother and most powerful teacher.

Zhou Shu patted his shoulder and said, "Lao Zhu, try harder and try to enter the inner gate as soon as possible."

For several months, the two of them have been doing double duty inspections, but Zhou Shu only accepts the tasks and does not do them. He has agreed with the disciple who is leading the team that if Zhou Shu does not go, he will not contribute, and all the contributions will be given to the disciple who is leading the team. This way of leading the team

The disciples are also satisfied, with less trouble and more contribution, and they are very happy.

The two of them accepted the inspector in the same way and were walking into the miscellaneous hall. Before they entered the door, a cultivator in blue shirt walked towards them and said, "Follow me."

"Ah? Senior Brother Yun?"

Zhou Shu and Zhu Dashan were both a little stunned. The cultivator in front of them was Yun Li, whom they had not seen for a long time.

"Senior Brother Yun, it's been less than a year since you faced the wall, right?"

Yunli, who had been punished facing the wall, came out of the mountain. He looked refreshed and his face was pale but his luster could not be concealed. He was probably very close to the Pulse Condensation state. But there was a trace of worry between his eyebrows, as if he had something on his mind.

Yun Li shook his head slightly and didn't say much. He directly took out Duyun and said calmly, "Come up."

Zhu Dashan said quickly, "Senior Brother Yun, I can go on this mission. Brother Zhou wants to challenge Hong Yuan, and time is very tight..."

Zhou Shu bowed and explained slowly, "Senior Brother Yun, can I not do the task? I don't want to contribute..."

Yun Li didn't express anything and said calmly, "Come up, of course, you don't have to go."

"Junior brother is willing to go."

Zhou Shu thought for a moment and went up to Duyun with Zhu Dashan.

He sighed secretly, and when he met Yunli, whom he knew well, he thought he could go back to practice without having to waste any words, but he didn't expect Yunli to be merciless at all. He didn't even listen to his explanations, so he asked him to do chores together.

When Yun Li saw Zhou Shu coming up, he nodded slightly, then led Du Yun and flew directly to the depths of Heyin Sect.

On the way, Yunli said nothing and looked cold. Zhou Shu and Zhu Dashan naturally found it hard to talk and felt uneasy.

Flying to a mountain covered by clouds and fog, Yunli stopped crossing the clouds and said, "Come down with me."

"Ah. Aren't you going to do inspections?"

Zhou Shu and Zhu Dashan looked at each other in confusion.

Yun Li did not explain, but suddenly there was a flying sword under his feet, which fell directly into the clouds. At the same time, he stretched out his hand, and Zhou Shu also floated up, falling with Yun Li, leaving Zhu Dashan alone on the cloud crossing.

.

"Hey, senior brother, what are you doing? What do you mean by leaving me hanging here?"

Zhu Dashan looked confused and shouted.

Zhou Shu looked even more confused, "Senior Brother Yun, what are you doing?"

"Follow me, someone wants to see you."

Yunli didn't explain much and led Zhou Shu to a thatched house.

At first glance, the thatched cottage looked ordinary and not as good as Zhou Shu's own construction. But when he took a closer look, he couldn't help but be surprised.

This thatched house is actually alive! Being alive does not mean that it can walk or run, but that every piece of thatch that makes up the thatched house grows very well and looks green and full of vitality. There are hundreds of thousands of thatched grasses in a row.

Together they form the shape of a house, complete with doors, windows, eaves, etc., and there is no trace of deliberate creation at all, and it completely conforms to the natural way of heaven.

Letting thatch grow into a house on its own is completely different from making a house out of thatch. Zhou Shu couldn't figure out how to do it.

Just from this thatched cottage, it can be seen that the people inside are definitely extraordinary.

Yun Li noticed Zhou Shu's astonishment and said calmly, "This room didn't exist just now."

Zhou Shu was stunned when he heard the sound, and he was even more astonished. Could it be that he could make the plants and trees obey the command with just one thought, and then grow like this immediately? It is simply unbelievable and unimaginable.

Even practitioners in the Golden Core Realm or even those in the Nascent Soul Realm cannot do this.

Unless, these are not grasses at all.

"Come in."

The thatch opened automatically and a door opened, and a dull voice came from the house.

"yes."

Yun Li looked respectful, and Zhou Shu also walked towards the thatched house with unquenchable surprise and respect.

A middle-aged cultivator stood in the middle of the thatched house, with black hair and white eyebrows, a gleam in his eyes, holding a green wooden sword in his hand, looking at the two people as calmly as water.

"Elder Shen, Zhou Shu has brought you here."

Yunli bowed and immediately exited the hut. He stood outside the house with an indifferent expression, but there was a hint of worry in his eyes.

Zhou Shu glanced at Shen Wen and immediately saluted, "Disciple Zhou Shu, I have met Elder Shen."

So it’s him? He’s an elder in the Golden Core Realm?

Zhou Shu had met Elder Shen Wenchen once during the entry test. Although he was not impressed, Zhou Shu quickly recognized him.

But it feels a little different. At that time, Shen Wen was playing chess on the top of Lingyun Cliff. He was calm and humble, an elegant gentleman, but now Shen Wen has a solemn expression and a sword in his hand. Although it is an ordinary wooden sword, it gives him a kind of

There is a lot of pressure. This pressure does not come from spiritual power or consciousness, but from the sword itself.

Shen Wen tilted his head slightly and said expressionlessly, "No need to be polite. Zhou Shu, do you know why you are here?"

"Disciple, I don't know, is this the matter of Senior Brother Hong?"

Zhou Shu raised his head and stood aside with his hands down, looking calm.

His challenge to Hong Yuan was aroused in the Heyin sect, and Hong Yuan's occupation and bullying behind his back was also publicized through Zhu Dashan's big mouth.

However, there has been no movement from the top management, and no one has come out to speak. The collective silence has been lost.

This puzzled Zhou Shu. Could it be that the higher-ups of the Heyin Sect didn't care at all and didn't even conduct an investigation? This is unlikely, but that's what it seems.

Naturally, he had a lot of dissatisfaction about this, but he did not show it. In the Heyin Sect, he already had a sense of belonging and still had expectations for the sect, so he would wait for the sect's reply.

But there is a time limit for waiting. If the sect continues to be indifferent or ignores it lightly, then the moment he defeats Hong Yuan will be the time for him to leave the sect.

What was supposed to come came, but Zhou Shu didn't expect that it was Shen Wen who came.

Shen Wen is Elder Jindan and one of the four masters of the Heyin Sect, but more importantly, Shen Wen is also Hong Yuan's mentor. His arrival may not be a good thing for Zhou Shu, as Yun Li's previous behavior seemed

This can also be explained.

Shen Wen looked at Zhou Shu with serious eyes, "Zhou Shu, do you resent the sect?"

Following the words, an indescribable pressure quickly enveloped Zhou Shu, like thousands of needles pricking every hole.

This kind of coercion takes into account both spiritual consciousness and spiritual power. It does not hurt people, but it has the effect of calming the soul and makes people feel frightened. Practitioners with weak minds may even kneel on the ground and honestly confess what is in their hearts.

think.

It has almost the same effect as the positive speech talisman.

Zhou Shu endured it. Although it was painful, he still maintained a clear consciousness.

He shook his head firmly, "No, I won't be resentful."

No matter what you think in your heart, you can't say resentment. As a disciple of the sect, if you say something resentful to the sect in front of the elders of the sect, you will never get any good results.

What was reasonable before has become unreasonable, and if someone catches it, there will be unwarranted accusations.

Shen Wen was a little surprised, but his expression remained serious, "My disciples robbed your things, but I was indifferent and didn't help you get them back. Why don't you feel resentful?"

Zhou Shu slowly shook his head, "It was Liu Yixiu and Hong Yuan who robbed the disciples. They had nothing to do with the elders and were not ordered by the elders. Why should the disciples resent the elders? As for the elders, the disciples are not in charge of it for the time being. The disciples can also understand that they can solve their own problems by themselves.

, is the original intention of cultivators to cultivate immortality, and I believe that the sect will definitely deal with it impartially."

Shen Wen smiled calmly and said, "You must be dissatisfied with the fair treatment, right? Since you challenged Hong Yuan, everything has gone wrong. All the disciples have made things difficult for you, and even several peak leaders are targeting you. Why don't you resent it?"

"Interference from external objects cannot affect the disciple. The disciple has no dissatisfaction. Moreover, the disciple feels that Elder Shen is so generous that he would never let others do such a thing intentionally. This is all their own initiative and has nothing to do with Elder Shen.

.”

The pressure around him became increasingly intense, but Zhou Shu looked calm.

A faint smile appeared on Shen Wen's face, "You understand, but you also know that it would be easy for me to stop them. As long as I speak, you will not face any trouble at all, but I didn't. Even so, you won't

Resentful?"

Zhou Shu still shook his head, "I don't dare. The elder is so wise, so he naturally has his own considerations. Moreover, the disciple feels that these are tests for the disciple by the elder and the sect, and they are only good for the disciple."

These words were a bit tricky, but he knew that if he spoke out words of resentment now, the result would never be good.

The further you get to the back, the less you can change your statement, you have to stand firm.

"I don't know if I dare not. You are very good at talking and seem to be very loyal to the sect."

Shen Wen smiled slightly, but his face changed in an instant, and his words suddenly became harsh, "But do you really think so?"

The thatched house suddenly became turbulent, the thatch swayed like waves, and Zhou Shu felt like a small boat in a storm, about to capsize at any time. To be continued.
