As soon as Bai Ze said this, the atmosphere in the Purple Bamboo Forest Garden suddenly became tense.
Lin Xiao looked serious and said: "Now that master and senior brother are not sitting at Wangfeng, I am the biggest here. Do you have any objections?"
Since that incident, it was the first time Pei Guoguo saw his second senior brother look like this at close range. He was so frightened that he hurriedly pulled Bai Ze's sleeve secretly to signal him not to argue with Lin Xiao.
Chen Ping, the fourth and most dull among the four, also noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere and echoed: "Junior brother, the second senior brother is right. Now that master and senior brother are not on the mountain, we should listen to the second senior brother's orders. .”
"Just, just..." Pei Guoguo heard the fourth senior brother speak and said boldly, with many stumbles in his words, "Little, little junior brother, you should listen to the second senior brother, right?"
Bai Ze did not back down and said sternly: "It is precisely because Master and Senior Brother are not here that Zuowang Peak needs the Second Senior Brother to take charge of the overall situation. Although my connections at Zuowang Peak are far less than those of Liufeng, Master and he are not enshrined in Jinding." As a statue of the Goddess of Heaven, there must be someone who can talk things over. Otherwise, when the Seven Peaks are discussing matters and we have no one to take charge of the overall situation, wouldn’t it mean that the teacher is stabbing someone in the back behind his back?”
When Pei Guoguo and Chen Ping heard this, they thought it made sense and immediately looked at Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao didn't take it seriously, looked at Bai Ze, and said: "Since Master gave you the title Qingyang, he wants you to take charge of Zuowang Peak in the future. It is appropriate for you to be my talker at Zuowang Peak when discussing matters at Qifeng. "
When Lao Si and Xiao Liu heard this, they felt that what the second senior brother said was very reasonable, and looked at Bai Ze again.
"I don't think it's appropriate." Bai Ze said, "When the Seven Peaks discuss matters, even if the master of one peak is not present, the one who comes forward must at least be a real person. Although I was given the title by the master, my cultivation level is not higher than that of the Four Realms Supreme. Wouldn’t it still make people laugh at Feng’s discussion?”
After listening to this, Pei Guoguo and Chen Ping felt that their brains were a little exhausted and they were both speechless.
"Bai Ze." Lin Xiao said with a heavy tone: "You are my Immortal Sect Immortal Miao, the only descendant of Senior Sword Emperor, and the master's direct disciple. No one here or in the other six peaks dares to look down upon you. For you."
Seeing Lin Xiao's resolute attitude, Bai Ze felt nervous and took a different approach, saying, "Second Senior Brother, what he said is untrue."
As soon as these words came out, Pei Guoguo and Chen Ping were startled. They felt that Bai Ze was going to have a conflict with Lin Xiao, and they hurriedly tried to stop him from continuing. Unexpectedly, Bai Ze insisted on going his own way and ignored the two of them at all, saying: "When Master was here, they were able to force Third Senior Sister to go out of the mountain and go to the law enforcement hall. Didn't Second Senior Brother not see the hard work of Third Senior Sister on weekdays?"
"Bai Ze!" Pei Guoguo shouted hurriedly and stared at Lin Xiao nervously.
The usually quirky girl spoke to her junior brother in such a tone for the first time.
Lin Xiao was silent, his eyes as dark as ink.
"Second Senior Brother should know at least that I am now working under Xue Xing. Due to both emotions and reasons, it is fitting that I should go to the Great Wall!" Bai Ze dropped another bombshell news, which bluffed Chen Ping. He was stunned, his mouth opened and he didn't know what to say.
Pei Guoguo was dumbfounded and felt powerless.
"Do you have to be like this?" Lin Xiao was silent for a long time, staring into Bai Ze's unyielding eyes, holding back his anger, and said with a flick of his sleeves: "Okay! Since you are so stubborn, I will give you seven days to get through this. Guan, I will let you out. Otherwise, there will be no room for change in this matter!"
"I wonder what the second senior brother means by passing the test?" Bai Ze asked.
"You don't have to refine your words with me." Lin Xiao said, "Before the trip to Kunlun, I taught you a technique, Zhuang Sheng Xiaomeng. If you can block my sword with this technique, you have passed the test!"
The method of dream butterfly.
When Bai Ze thought about it, this was indeed the case. But he can only say that he has a superficial grasp of this technique, and at the moment it is purely useless.
"Senior Brother, could it be that you force others to make things difficult for you?" Bai Ze said, "With your cultivation level, even if I practice this technique to the extreme, I still can't block the sword of the real person."
"I only use sword energy for this sword." Lin Xiao said solemnly, "If you can't do it, there's no need to say more, just follow my instructions!"
Bai Ze only thought for a moment and said, "It's a deal!"
In the purple bamboo forest, the four people broke up unhappy.
Baize Yuqi returned to Shanshui Residence, but was caught up by Pei Guoguo halfway. The girl was so angry that she grabbed Bai Ze's ear and said, "You are so capable, how can you make the second senior brother angry about the third senior sister's matter? Do you think the second senior brother will be very happy about the third senior sister's matter? Besides, What if what Second Senior Brother said is what they meant!"
That "they" is self-evident.
"Senior sister, calm down." Bai Ze apologized quickly and said, "I can't help it. Don't you think that the best candidate to stay is the second senior brother, not me?"
"But, but..." Pei Guoguo was speechless for a moment, let go of Bai Ze's ear, and said in a depressed tone: "But what if those old guys really mean it, wouldn't this put the second senior brother in a dilemma!"
"I know that Sixth Senior Sister is a talented person." Bai Ze said with a smile, "But I, Bai Ze, wield swords in the world and never know what it means to retreat. Maybe I can just stay in the deep mountains and forests and practice for ten or twenty years. In thirty years, I can become a person in their eyes who is good enough to travel around the world and prove the Tao for the North. But this kind of Tao is not the Tao in my mind."
Bai Ze looked at the sky and said softly: "The path I want to take is to meet mountains and cut them down, to meet and cross seas, to have eagles strike in the sky, and to have tigers roar in the deep forests. Only in this way can I become the successor to Li Mu. In this world of Jiuzhou, there is a new sword immortal!"
In the cold sky, Pei Guoguo was speechless by Bai Ze's words. After a while, he hummed: "You study a lot, senior sister, I can't compare to you! I'll go find the third senior sister and see how you can talk like her. reed."
After that, Yu Qi went straight to Duan Sin Peak.
Bai Ze was helpless.
Returning to Shanshui Residence, Bai Ze immediately began to practice the dream butterfly method. While visualizing, carefully consider this secret technique. The next day, the Immortal Gate bell rang again, and at the same time, Tianzhu Peak conveyed an order to the Six Peaks. The disciples from each peak who were going to the Great Wall tomorrow would gather at the Xuanwu Dojo. Weiguo Qinjian Villa and the Great Wall on the Great Zhou Border.
Almost at the same time, Bai Ze's Shanshui Residence received a letter from the Jianjian Hall, written by Xue Xing, saying that Bai Ze was not allowed to go to the Xuanwu Dojo. If he passed the test of Master Lingxiao and went to the Jianjian Hall, he would There are arrangements.
Bai Ze knew in his heart that this night, the second senior brother had made all preparations, and he was not sure how many immortal sect talkers he would meet. But at that stage, he was destined to be unable to leave the mountain.
That night, Bai Ze was practicing meditation when he suddenly felt something in his heart. He opened his eyes, got up from the bed, opened the door, and came to the courtyard.
The snow was falling softly, and the landscape was in the courtyard. A stunning woman, wearing a long cloak, was sitting in the courtyard pouring wine. When she saw Bai Ze coming out, she turned around and saw the red lotus between her eyebrows shining like peach blossoms in the thin light of the snowy night.
"Why are Third Senior Sister here?" Bai Ze walked over and sat across from Zhuang Yan.
Zhuang Yansu tapped her index finger on the stone table, indicating that the other glass of wine belonged to him. Bai Ze was not polite and drank freely.
"It's rare that you can make your second senior brother angry." Zhuang Yan raised her chin, half-smiling.
"Third Senior Sister, are you here to ask questions?" Bai Ze said with a smile.
"Of course not." Zhuang Yan looked at Bai Ze with gentle eyes, "Don't worry, I'm not here to be a lobbyist. It's just that in recent years, your second senior brother has become less and less humane and very boring. Look at him now I'm angry, and I feel very interesting. I have nothing to do tonight, so Senior Sister came here to see you."
Bai Ze was stunned.
"By the way, you can't tell your second senior brother this." Zhuang Yan explained again.
"Sister, don't worry." Bai Ze said with a smile, "I've always been tight-lipped."
"That's good." Zhuang Yan asked again, "Zhuang Sheng Xiaomeng, how are you practicing?"
"I'm afraid you'll be humiliating yourself if you fight against Second Senior Brother." Bai Ze smiled bitterly.
Zhuang Yan was happy and said with a smile: "Your second senior brother is very good at the evolution of yin and yang. You might as well try it here. As the saying goes, one yin and one yang are the Tao. There are many wonderful methods between the virtual and the real. You can understand them carefully. Or gain something.”
"It turns out that I misunderstood Senior Sister." Bai Ze said happily, immediately thinking of the Tai Chi Xuan Qing Diagram, the secret technique passed down from the hands of Supreme Elder Dai Yongde, "Senior Sister Ganqing is here to teach me and solve my doubts. Please accept my respect from Junior Brother. !”
As he spoke, he made a gesture of salute. Zhuang Yan rolled her eyes at him angrily and said, "You are so glib, are you feeling itchy?"
"Don't dare." Bai Ze quickly begged for mercy.
Zhuang Yan's eyes darkened and she said: "Many things on the mountain are not as complicated as you think. You are not in your position yet, so you don't have to think too much."
Bai Ze nodded in agreement.
"If Master were here, I wouldn't stop you." Zhuang Yanfu showed his face again and said with a smile: "But the person talking about things on the mountain now is the second senior brother after all. You know that he can't make the decision on many things. , will be restricted from many aspects.”
"Senior sister, I understand." Bai Ze said.
"That's good." Zhuang Yan stood up and said: "Just think of the rest of the wine as my practice for you. Tomorrow your fourth senior brother will leave the mountain, you don't have to give it away, concentrate on training. Second senior brother, if you want to pass the test, It still takes some effort.”
"Okay." Bai Ze agreed and watched Zhuang Yan leave Shanshui Residence, her figure disappearing into the sky where the fine snow fell.
In the next few days, Bai Ze focused on seclusion, leaving only a water-like avatar in Shanshui Residence, while the real body escaped into the mountains.
The swords of the Immortal Sect have moved northward, crossing the Domain Gate.
On the seventh day, Bai Ze came out of seclusion and came to Zizhu Forest as promised.
Lin Xiao was in the forest. When he saw Bai Ze coming, he said, "Are you ready?"
"Second Senior Brother, please enlighten me." Bai Ze said with his hands in hand.
Lin Xiao stretched out his hand and unsheathed his natal flying sword Zhuangsheng. Three inches of sword energy lingered around him, and it was extremely sharp. The young swordsman stood with his sword in hand and said: "I won't make things difficult for you with this sword, but I won't compromise and let you out easily. Whether you can pass the test depends on how you do!"
Bai Ze looked solemn.
In an instant, swords whistled in the purple bamboo forest, blue butterflies danced in groups, and calm returned.
Snow falls on the branches.
Lin Xiao was stunned for a long time, looking at the marks on Bai Ze's clothes that were scratched by his sword. Finally, he sheathed his sword, put his hands behind his back and left, saying: "You go ahead. The road is dangerous, so be careful in everything."
Bai Ze bowed and saluted to that figure without saying a word.
