Early the next morning, Zhu Ling came back from the back mountain, carrying a large sprig of sweet-scented osmanthus in her right hand.
"Miss Lan Sheng." Zhuling walked in and saw Lan Sheng stretching, and asked, "Master, do you agree to your stay?"
"Um!"
Lan Sheng nodded in response, and then yawned again. He slept late yesterday, and his face was still tired now.
After receiving Lan Sheng's affirmative reply, Zhuling paused for a moment, her heart skipped a beat, then she immediately suppressed her emotions and muttered to herself involuntarily:
"Lan Sheng is already my junior sister, what's wrong with me!"
"Senior Sister Zhuling, why are you carrying a sprig of osmanthus?"
Lan Sheng's attention was attracted by the sweet-scented osmanthus in Zhuling's hand, and he immediately ran to Zhuling, smelling the faint fragrance, and wanted to reach out and break off a small branch.
Seeing this, Zhu Ling hurriedly raised her hand and held the osmanthus branch high above her head: "No, Lan Sheng, this osmanthus is used to make osmanthus cake."
Hearing that it was food, Lan Sheng stopped what he was doing, and Zhu Ling placed the sweet-scented osmanthus branch on the stone table in the courtyard.
"Senior Sister Zhuling, are you going out so early to pick osmanthus flowers?"
"I begged Master for you yesterday and was punished to spend the night in the back mountain."
Zhuling gave a bitter laugh, glanced at Lan Sheng with some complaints, and continued to ask: "Will Master ever give you any more trouble in the future?"
Hearing that Zhuling was sent to the back mountain because of herself, Lan Sheng was extremely grateful and shook her head quickly, and even stepped forward and said that she would make sweet-scented osmanthus cake with her.
"Where's senior brother?" Zhuling asked with some confusion before seeing Chang Ling.
"Chang Ling said he was going to a place called the Library Pavilion. It's annoying to disturb people's dreams so early in the morning!" Lan Sheng's voice had a hint of anger.
Zhu Ling smiled knowingly, and kept pouring the sweet-scented osmanthus flowers without stopping. The sweet-scented osmanthus blossoms detached from the branches and fell into the prepared bamboo basket.
Lan Sheng had nothing to do, so he followed Zhuling and chatted non-stop. During the conversation, he learned that Changling liked to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and he even clamored to learn from Zhuling.
"Lan Sheng, come here." The cold voice of Master Yunxu came from behind.
Lan Sheng ran to Master Yunxu and respectfully called Master. Master Yunxu nodded slightly, waved his hands and said, "Since you worship me as your teacher, I will start teaching you the techniques today."
Just when Lan Sheng was gearing up and eager to give it a try, he heard Master Yunxu cough slightly and continued: "Strengthening the body is the foundation of cultivation. You first squat here for two hours."
Just as Lan Sheng was about to retort, he saw a hint of majesty suddenly appear in Yunxu Yunxu's eyes, so he had no choice but to squat down obediently.
Squatting is to gather energy, which is the basic skill of practicing martial arts. It is true that it can strengthen the body, but the reason is that Yunxu Master thought Lan Sheng was too active and wanted to cure her wild temper before teaching her the technique.
As soon as he squatted down, Lan Sheng started complaining and wanted to be lazy in less than a moment of burning incense.
At first, Master Yunxu asked Zhuling to keep an eye on him, but Zhuling was soft-hearted and turned a blind eye after Lan Sheng begged him. As a result, Master Yunxu saw this and gave Lan Sheng an extra hour. Even Zhuling scolded him, and then he sat in the courtyard and stared at Lan Sheng.
It was getting dusk, and Chang Ling returned from the library.
"Senior brother, what's wrong with your hand?" Seeing Chang Ling wrapped in gauze, Zhuling thought Chang Ling's hand was injured and asked with worry on her face.
"It doesn't matter, I was bitten by a dog."
Chang Ling didn't know how to explain it, so he smiled slightly awkwardly.
Zhuling was about to continue asking, when did someone in Yuntian raise a dog? Where was the dog bitten? Wait... then I heard a shout coming from Lan Sheng's house: "You are the dog!"
Chang Ling entered the room and saw Lan Sheng's half-dead appearance. He was very surprised. When he was about to inquire in detail, the gentle voice of Yunxu Shangxian Yun came from outside the door.
"Lan Sheng is naughty, I made him squat for a while."
Yunxu Shangxian entered the room with a smile on his face. He was very satisfied with today's results: "You must persevere in your practice, and you need to continue practicing tomorrow."
After squatting for three hours today, Lan Sheng felt sore all over her body and lay motionless on the bed. Even when Zhu Ling stood in front of her with the prepared osmanthus cake, she was too tired to raise her hand.
Hearing that it would continue tomorrow, Lan Sheng was unwilling to do so. He rolled up the quilt and hid under the quilt. Then he stuck his head out and glanced at Yunxu Immortal with a resentful look, and looked at Commander Ling pitifully.
"Chang Ling, Master, he punished me corporally." This voice was extremely aggrieved.
Chang Ling also looked at Lan Sheng, stuffed a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake into her mouth, and said with some distress: "Master has his own reasons for doing this. Lan Sheng can persist for a few more days."
Seeing that being pitiful didn't work, Lan Sheng wailed on the bed again, saying that he wouldn't squat tomorrow. Yunxu Shangxian tried to coerce her but it didn't work, so he reluctantly spared her for one day and asked Chang Ling and Zhuling to take her to familiarize herself with Yunluo Yuntian's environment tomorrow, so she wouldn't have to continue squatting.
The next day, Chang Ling, Zhu Ling and Lan Sheng went out and walked around the entire Yuntian.
Yuntian Fairy Mountain is vast, and the first place the three of them went to was Tianyun Palace.
Tianyun Hall is the center of Yuntian, and the rest of the buildings are built around Yuntian Hall. The elders discuss and handle matters of all sizes here.
Behind the palace is Yuntian's Demon Refining Pond and Demon Trap Prison, where all kinds of demons and ghosts captured by Yuntian are imprisoned. It is listed as Yuntian's forbidden area and only a few elders can enter.
There is a Babel Tower next to the forbidden area, where Yuntian Tianzun practices in seclusion, firstly to explore the way of heaven, and secondly to frighten the evil spirits trapped in the demon prison.
In front of Yuntian Hall is a large square, and around the square are dozens of martial arts training grounds of different sizes, where Yuntian disciples practice magic and compete.
Outside the square are buildings such as the alchemy room, library, and school. The outermost circle is the dormitories of Yuntian disciples. Yuntian has established a sect for thousands of years and has made enemies with countless evil spirits. The dormitory is on the outermost edge so that he can quickly detect abnormalities and prevent evil spirits from invading at night.
In Yuntian, respected elders can have an area of their own for the elder and his disciples to practice. The area around the Rising Sun Palace belongs to Yunxu Shangxian.
Every three years, Yuntian holds a Cloud Exploration Conference, where Yuntian's disciples compete in skills and show off Yuntian's style. The elders will all watch the meeting, looking for potential talents to recruit as disciples.
Originally, they planned to take Lan Sheng to visit the elders and fellow apprentices, but most of the elders had already brought their disciples down the mountain. After searching several places, they could not see many people, so the three of them had to return in frustration.
For the next few days, Chang Ling went to the library at sunrise and returned only after sunset.
As for Lan Sheng, Chang Ling pestered Chang Ling before going out. After Chang Ling went out, he was forced to squat by Yunxu Shangxian. Not only did he not learn to be gentle and elegant, he also developed the ability to squat while talking incessantly, and occasionally He also sneaked out of the Rising Sun Palace and ran around blindly. In response to this, Master Yunxu also shook his head one after another.
Fortunately, Lan Sheng's carefree temperament was endearing, and she got along well with the other disciples, so Master Yunxu just let Lan Sheng go and had nothing to do with her.
On this day, Lan Sheng was just about to start squatting when she saw that Chang Ling had not gone out yet. Just as she was wondering, Chang Ling walked up to her and said sincerely:
"Lan Sheng, I have to go down the mountain for a while."
"I also need to go."
Lan Sheng looked happy. She had already had enough of squatting every day.
"Lan Sheng doesn't know magic yet, so Chang Ling can't take you with him." Chang Ling pinched Lan Sheng's pink cheeks and sounded apologetic.
"But Chang Ling will definitely come back, just like when he went to the Library Pavilion before!" Chang Ling added.
"Are you coming back at sunset too?"
Lan Sheng blinked and looked at Chang Ling reluctantly.
"This time it will be longer, but it won't last more than thirty years."
Knowing that Chang Ling would be out for such a long time, Lan Sheng pestered Chang Ling for a long time, which made Zhu Ling next to her feel disgusted and scolded her for not having a senior sister in her heart.
Seeing Chang Ling's firm attitude, Lan Sheng reluctantly let go in the end. After watching Chang Ling leave, he squatted obediently, thinking about when Chang Ling would come back.
"There is no need to squat anymore today. I will officially start teaching you the techniques." Master Yunxu stopped Lan Sheng and threw her a peach wood sword.
Hearing that Master Yunxu was about to teach her the technique, Lan Sheng was happy at first, and then muttered in her heart: "Why is Master suddenly willing to teach me the technique? They are all weird these days."
Thinking of Chang Ling leaving early and returning late every day these past few days, Lan Sheng had a bad premonition in her heart: "Could it be that Chang Ling secretly became someone else's husband-in-law?"
In the future, Yunxu Shangxian and Chang Ling will come to teach Lan Sheng the magic techniques. Lan Sheng had learned some from Ye Hua and Youlin in the demon world. There is already a lot of spiritual power in the Dantian, so he learned Yuntian's magic techniques. It is also handy and fast. After learning for more than a month, Lan Sheng was already able to wield the sword in a decent manner.
Lan Sheng lived a leisurely life in Yuntian, but Chang Ling was not here. Calculating when Chang Ling would come back became something she must do every day.
One day, Lan Sheng was still practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard, holding the sword technique in his hand, when he heard a shout from the air, and Senior Brother Du Ce's sword fell directly in the courtyard.
Before Lan Sheng could ask, Du Ce said, "Is Master Yunxu here?"
"Master is resting in the main hall."
After getting the location of Yunxu Immortal, Du Ce bowed to Lan to thank him, and before Lan Sheng could react, he hurriedly searched for him.
Lan Sheng had never seen Senior Brother Du Ce so anxious, and his interest aroused in his heart. When he saw him coming out of the hall, he hurriedly grabbed him and asked him what was going on.
"The traces of the demons have been found, and I will inform Immortal Yunxu to go to Tianyun Palace to discuss matters."
Du Ce hurriedly took the sleeve from Lan Sheng's hand, then hurriedly left with his sword.
