Chapter 22 The Ugly Duckling's First Flight(1/2)
Because he ran too fast, Liu Shisui's hands were dragged behind him, looking like a little duck, a little funny and cute.
Jing Jiu stood there waiting for him, with a faint smile on the corner of his lips.
Liu Shishui ran to Jing Jiu and stopped.
Because he ran too fast and stopped too fast, his feet drew two shallow marks on the grass, and his body swayed back and forth, and finally stopped.
This scene looks a bit funny, and some of the young disciples who are in love with Jing Jiu couldn't help laughing out loud.
Soon the laughter disappeared, and people guessed that this young boy was the legendary natural Taoist species.
Liu Shisui stood in front of Jing Jiu, looking very excited. She reached out to grab Jing Jiu's hand, but she felt it was inappropriate, so she quickly put it back and clenched it into a fist.
"Young Master, are you in? You are finally in!"
...
...
The pedestrian who walked out of the woods couldn't help but be surprised when he looked at the scene.
You should know that Liu Shisui only knows how to practice and practice swordsmanship on weekdays. He lives a very monotonous life, a plain and low-key temperament, and rarely sees such an excited look.
"Who is this person?" Gu Han asked.
A disciple said, "Master Gu, this person should be Jing Jiu who is often mentioned on weekdays when he was ten years old."
After listening to this, the traveler understood why Liu Shisui was so excited.
Gu Han looked at Jing Jiu's face and raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling a little displeased.
I don’t know if it was because the face was too beautiful or because the expression on that face was too calm and calm, which formed a sharp contrast with Liu Shisui.
...
...
Just as Jing Jiu was about to speak, a cold voice sounded.
"What are you doing?"
Jing Jiu looked at it and found that the person who was talking was the Liangwangfeng disciple named Gu Han.
Liu Shisui was slightly stunned and quickly explained: "Master Gu, this is my family..."
Gu Han did not let him finish his words, and said calmly: "I told you that at such an important moment, nothing can distract you."
The hidden meaning of this sentence is very clear, and he doesn't care who Jing Jiu is at all.
"Come here to receive the punishment myself." Gu Han said.
Jing Jiu glanced at him.
Liu Shisui quickly waved his hand at him and walked back to Gu Han.
A fat man with a bun stood up from behind Gu Han, holding a thing wrapped in cloth in both hands. He untied the tie with his fat and dexterous fingers, revealing the stick inside.
Looking at this scene, the crowd was a little uproar. The sight that fell on Liu Shisui was more sympathetic, but more envious.
Those disciples who came out of the woods also had this kind of emotion in their eyes.
That stick is not the sword rule of Qingshan Sect, but the rules of Liangwangfeng.
Gu Han wanted to punish Liu Shisui with the rules of Liangwangfeng, which would be equivalent to treating Liu Shisui as Liangwangfeng's personal disciple to discipline him.
For the inner disciples who were eager to be selected by Liangwangfeng at the Chengjian Conference, such discipline is really an enviable treatment.
The hard wooden stick fell on Liu Shisui's back, making a heavy and dull sound.
When accepting punishment, he naturally cannot use his true energy to protect his body, and Liu Shisui can only hold on.
The wooden stick kept falling down, and the muffled sound kept ringing.
Liu Shisui was in pain, her eyes were filled with tears, but she still had to stand still.
Looking at this scene, Jing Jiu didn't say anything.
Suddenly, he felt something, and at first glance, he saw Gu Han's cold eyes.
He looked at the other person quietly.
Liu Shisui noticed his eyes, endured the pain and kept shaking his head, signaling him not to do anything randomly.
Jing Jiu was quiet for a while and turned around and walked out of the peak.
Only Gu Han noticed so many people present, and shook his head as he turned around.
...
...
"Enough."
Gu Han signaled that the punishment would end, and looked at Jing Jiu's back who was leaving and frowned slightly.
The fat man took back his stick, wrapped it carefully in a blue cloth, looked along his sight, squinted his eyes and smiled, but a cold light passed by in his eyes.
"How? This disciple is very famous. When I saw him today, he was indeed well-known. He is indeed beautiful and jealous."
As disciples of Liangwangfeng, how could they care about the little things like beautiful and ugly appearance? What they ask naturally refers to Jing Jiu's cultivation talent and potential.
Gu Han said: "The Taoist species are ordinary and the qualifications are ordinary. If he really does not seek progress as rumored, then he should have prepared a lot of elixirs to break through the realm within two years."
The fat man said, "He may be a young man in the Chaoge Dynasty. It is normal for him to have some precious elixirs in his hands. It is said that his brain is very good. Should I talk to him?"
Gu Han said, "My swords on Liangwangfeng are used to kill people. No matter how smart it is, it is useless to be extremely intelligent. If you can rely on elixirs to seek the great way, what else can you do to practice?"
During the conversation, they did not avoid Liu Shisui. Liu Shisui was a little anxious and wanted to defend Jing Jiu for a few words.
In his opinion, it would be the best thing for the young master to worship under Liangwangfeng in advance.
"The disciple of Liangwangfeng Peak cannot be a servant, remember this."
Gu Han looked at Liu Shisui with an unquestionable will in his tone: "Don't continue to interact with him."
Liu Shishui was stunned.
Gu Han ignored him and led a group of disciples to the Jian Peak.
Liu Shisui stood there, remained silent for a long time, and finally followed.
...
...
Looking at the pedestrian walking towards the cliff of Jianfeng, a disciple who knew the situation in the Xijian Pavilion said in dissatisfaction: "Master Gu is not an immortal master of Class A? Haven't they taken the sword yet?"
Deacon Xingyun Peak said, "Junior Brother Liu took the sword half a year ago."
The disciples felt even more strange and thought to themselves, what were they doing on Jian Peak?
The pedestrian Gu Han had already walked up to the peak sword, gradually moving away, and was about to turn into a string of black dots between the cliff walls.
Without the leadership of the teacher, these disciples naturally did not dare to follow them, so they had to watch under the peak.
As time went by, more deacons and teachers and students of Yunxing Peak came to the venue, and more than ten sword lights cut through the sky. People from all the peaks arrived, and even two second-generation uncles arrived in person.
All of this seems to indicate that something big will happen later.
...
...
The mountains are getting higher and thinner, and the terrain is getting steeper, making it very difficult to take every step.
The young disciples stopped and stayed there, feeling the sword intent around them, so as to sharpen their will and improve their cultivation.
Gu Han, the fat man and Liu Shisui continued to move forward.
I don’t know how long I walked, but the scenery around me gradually blurred and the fog became heavier. It should have come to the edge of the clouds.
At this point, the sword energy that radiated from the peak body became even more terrifying. Liu Shisui's face turned red and her breathing was rapid.
After all, he is still young and has a short time to practice.
However, he was able to get here, and he was no longer as strong as his fellow disciples who stayed below.
The fat man was also slightly panting, holding his waist and said, "I don't know if he will be here today in the twelfth lunar month."
Gu Han's expression was as usual. The sword intent and this height in the sword peak were nothing to him.
Listening to the fat man's words, he looked to the peak deeper in the clouds, was silent for a moment, and then waved his hand, as if he wanted to drive away all the unpleasant scenes.
As his palm waved, a strong wind blew up between the cliffs, and the clouds and mist were dispersed, and the surrounding environment suddenly became clear.
There was a cliff in front of them. If you took a step forward, you would fall. The stone walls between the cliffs were smooth and grass-free, and there was no place to grasp the force.
Liu Shisai walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down.
It is more than a thousand feet high from the ground here. Even though his eyesight after practicing is comparable to a divine eagle, he still cannot see clearly on the ground and can only see many small black dots.
Every little black dot is just one person. Thinking of so many people looking at him, the boy became more nervous and his breathing became more anxious.
He silently chanted the Sword Sutra, calmed his mind as much as possible, and slowly raised his right hand after his breathing was calm.
