Chapter 232
When he returned to his room, he found that it was Hongying who had been contacting him. The girl was quick-witted and impatient, and the phone vibrated many times that night.
Ni Yangzhou and Hongying agreed not to come to pick him up tomorrow. They waited for a while for Yuanjia's communication board, but it never lit up. They wanted to take the initiative to contact him, but they were worried that it was late at night and would disturb others' sleep, so they had to give up.
He did not sleep too long at night. Since entering the fifth level of Qi Refining, Ni Yangzhou rarely felt tired. He also spent most of the night meditating. When it was slightly bright, Ni Yangzhou quietly pushed open the door of the bamboo house.
Washing up in the morning has been his habit for many years.
The young man washed his face in the stream behind the house and adjusted his appearance in the clear water. Red fish swam leisurely at the bottom of the water, as if they had no support.
The stream flowed down from the mountains. Ni Yangzhou turned his head to look, but could not see the source.
When Ni Yangzhou had finished tidying up and returned to the courtyard, Yan Congzhi was standing in the middle with his hands behind his back, with the shadowy bamboo forest behind him.
"master."
The boy went forward happily, water drops running down his face to his shoulders, soaking a small piece of cloth.
Yan Congzhi lowered his head and looked at the boy. There was a faint shadow under his moist eyes.
He frowned slightly: "Is there anything bothering you?"
Ni Yangzhou shook his head: "No."
"Is there anything you don't understand about the practice?"
Ni Yangzhou wanted to scratch the back of his head: "No, you told me."
"You had trouble sleeping at night?"
The boy shook his head faster: "No, I slept well. I fell asleep as soon as I closed my eyes."
Yan Congzhi's eyebrows were straightened, and he looked a little serious: "What's the matter with the dark circles under the eyes?"
Upon hearing this, Ni Yangzhou hurriedly touched his face. He really hadn't noticed it. "Master, I didn't lie. Last night, while it was still early and I didn't feel tired, I practiced for a while..."
The man in white finally relaxed his brows and said, "Don't be anxious. Anxiety can easily lead to impatience. Besides, you are young and have not rested enough. It is easy for you to lack energy and build up a strong body."
Ni Yangzhou nodded, thinking that the master was really nice and cared about his sleep, and replied with a smile: "Disciple will learn from you."
Yan Congzhi put down his clothes and recalled the several important precautions that his senior brother had given him yesterday. He felt that they were really useful. Wasn't this the right medicine for today? Now he should be considered a qualified master, right? When he comes back from the mountain, he will go to his senior brother to learn from him.
The young man followed his master to the top of the mountain, eagerly waiting to be grabbed by the collar. After a while, the familiar feeling of suffocation had not yet come. Puzzled, he turned around and saw his master standing on the ancient sword and looking at him.
Ni Yangzhou stretched his mouth into an awkward smile and jumped onto the sword sheepishly.
The master's sword-flying speed was faster than Yuanjia and Hongying, but when he was in the air, the wind he felt was the smallest. Ni Yangzhou was now finally able to stand firmly on the sword and could not help but lean over to look down.
Thousands of mountains and fields, green waves, are extremely spectacular.
After a while, the white jade square of the monastery was getting closer and closer in the field of vision below, and Yan Congzhi suddenly spoke:
"Shen and Yuanjia have been in close contact. I'll be away for the next few days to concentrate on my studies and come back to test your progress."
Ni Yangzhou was puzzled and felt a chill in his heart. He asked, "Why can't we do it with Yuan Jia..."
Yan Congzhi said nothing and looked back at the boy.
Ni Yangzhou met his gaze and looked back calmly: "After spending a few times with him, I feel that Yuan Jia is cheerful and friendly, not a selfish or evil person. He may be a little playful, but not too much. Master, I..."
Seeing the young man like this, Yan Congzhi asked, "Do you know Yuan Jia's true form?"
Ni Yangzhou shook his head: "I only know that it is the immortal grass that has turned into a spirit."
Yan Congzhi's eyes fell on the monastery below, and he slowly explained: "The prototype of Yuanjia is Candle Kui, this grass--" The sword controller considered the wording: "Taking it can invigorate the blood, warm and nourish the kidney yang, and as a fairy grass, it has the effect of confusing people's minds."
The boy was a little confused, looking at his master with big eyes: "Confusing people's minds? I won't eat him, is it okay?"
Yan Congzhi looked at the child who was only as tall as his waist and could not say any more explanation. He could only frown and say seriously: "I told you, don't you want to obey?"
It was the first time that Ni Yangzhou heard his master scold him so harshly. He nervously clasped his hands on the seams of his pants. He did not dare to refute and just lowered his head: "Disciple knows his mistake."
Yan Congzhi didn't expect that his words would make the boy look as fast as an eggplant hit by frost, but the words were out of his mouth and he couldn't swallow them back, so he had to add: "The Bi Se Peak has set up a barrier. Without my permission, outsiders can no longer enter or leave. You must concentrate on your studies and not indulge in...making friends."
After saying what he needed to say, Yan Congzhi reflected on whether he had gone too far. But thinking about what his senior brother had said about the past in Yuanjia, he felt that it would not hurt to be on guard early.
Before Yuan Jia became a spirit in the medicine garden, he had caused all the plants in the garden to bloom and pollinate at all times, and they became human forms. If he took the initiative to show his goodwill, people with weak wills would easily be bewitched by him.
Even if he didn't mean to do it, as long as he had emotional inclinations, it would be emitted from himself. This is why Haoping didn't let him go down the mountain for many years.
When they arrived at the monastery, the master was quite gentle. He did not throw Ni Yangzhou down as expected. Instead, he controlled a cloud to send the boy to the square and then flew away on his sword.
The young man looked up at his master's back as he walked away, feeling a little disappointed. Before he could sigh, he looked around and saw countless pairs of eyes filled with expectation and curiosity casting their gazes at him.
Ni Yangzhou suddenly felt something was wrong and started to walk away, but he was not as fast as the crowd who were eating the melons. In a blink of an eye, the young man was surrounded.
"Master Guanjiao? Are you the new disciple?"
"I have admired you for a long time. Tell me, how did you climb to this high position?"
"What's your name, little brother? I am the 182nd disciple of Master Haoping..."
"What little brother? You should call me uncle!"
"Yes, yes, Uncle Master! Uncle Master!"
For a moment, the words "Uncle Master" were heard continuously. Ni Yangzhou resisted the urge to cover his ears. He felt as if he had fallen into a herd of pigs, with a bunch of pig owners following him, constantly calling out "shu, shu" to him to move forward.
"Oh~ Uncle Master, you are here. It took me a long time to find you!"
A clear and teasing voice sounded from behind the crowd, and the surrounding disciples fell silent for a moment, but they scattered like birds and beasts in the next moment.
Ni Yangzhou turned around, only to see Yuan Jia walking towards him in a nonchalant manner with a pot of wine in his arms. Everyone looked away and went to find their own seats.
"Hello, uncle!"
Yuan Jia approached Ni Yangzhou with a smile and called out loudly to the young man who was a head shorter than him.
"Hello, nephew."
Ni Yangzhou agreed, and together with Yuanjia, they found a seat in the square to listen to the class. The master's instructions were still ringing in his ears. The young man hesitated for a moment, and after sitting down, he remained silent.
Yuan Jia blinked his pale white eyes, looked back and forth between the teacher who had already started the lecture and Ni Yangzhou, and suddenly clapped his hands, then immediately lowered his head and whispered in Ni Yangzhou's ear:
"Is someone gossiping about me being an aphrodisiac again?"
