Shaw Danon slowly woke up, startled for a while, then slowly sat up. The past came to his mind like a tide.
Like a nightmare!
"You woke up, that's good." A voice came from the door, a person came in.
Shaw Danon raised his head and recognized it was Xavion he met on Peak of Widows. He was tall and had a rough appearance. With his current state of mind, he felt a bit close to this person.
"Song Dage." Shaw Danon called.
Although Xavion is a big man, his heart couldn't help but feel pity for Shaw Danon. He walked to the bed, touched Shaw Danon's head, said softly: "Xiao Shidi, don't be sad. From now on, we are family."
Shaw Danon was startled, said: "What family?"
Xavion smiled and told Shaw Danon about Tian Bolis accepting him as a disciple. Of course, he did not know about the little dispute between the elders of Jadeon at Peak of Widows.
Shaw Danon was at a loss. Jadeon, in the mind of a farmer's disciple, is like a god. He never thought that one day, he will have the opportunity to enter Jadeon. But, the price is not what he is willing to pay.
He gritted his teeth, knew it is useless to think too much, so he opened his mouth and said: "Song Shixiong."
Xavion smiled and nodded, said: "Good, Xiao Shidi, you slept for a day and a night. You must be hungry, right?"
Shaw Danon did not feel hungry at first, but after hearing what Xavion said, his stomach immediately "grumbled."
Xavion smiled: "Come, Xiao Shidi, let's go eat something first. I will tell you about the faction's situation, then we will go meet master and shi niang, and meet other shixiongs."
Shaw Danon nodded, got off the bed, then noticed that the room he was in was quite similar to the Jadeon disciples' living quarters at Peak of Widows, but it was a bit more spacious.
Song Daren took him out and said: "Our Big Bamboo Peak is not like other branches, we have very few people. Even if you are added, the total number will not be more than ten, so the rooms are more spacious." As he spoke, he walked out of the door and saw a similar small courtyard. After taking a few more steps, he exited the courtyard and saw a winding corridor as well. However, this place was clear at a glance. There were only a dozen or so rooms, far inferior to the scale of the Peak of Tongtian.
Shaw Danon followed Xavion to the kitchen. From Xavion, he learned that Bamboo Peak, from Master Green Leaf's fourth disciple, Zheng Tong, until now, Tian Bu Yi has six generations. The situation has always been like this. Now in the generation of teachers, other than the head Tian BuYi, there was only another teacher uncle, SuRu, who was also Tian BuYi's wife. They had a daughter, Hidi, who was thirteen this year, two years older than Shaw Danon. So, Shaw Danon was truly the youngest Shidi here.
Among Tian BuYi's disciples, Xavion was the Da Shixiong, followed by Wu Dayi, Zheng Dali, He Dazhi, Ludaxin, Amandla.
Shaw Danon remembered: "Oh, Dayi Shixiong, Dali Shixiong, Dazhi Shixiong, Dazhi Shixiong, Dazhi Shixiong, Dashu Shixiong..."
Xavion smiled: "It's Amandla Shixiong."
Shaw Danon was startled, then realized, couldn't help but ask: "Why is this Sixth Shixiong different?"
Xavion said: "Originally he was called Dashu, but you should say it a few more times."
Shaw Danon murmured: "Amandla, Amandla, Uncle Du..." His heart understood and immediately laughed.
Xavion also laughed: "You already know. In fact, master didn't really care about it, but Shi niang was very angry. After several times, she said Du Shidi did not respect his master and wanted to teach him a lesson. Du Shidi was scared to death and quickly asked master and Shi niang to change his name. Then Shi niang gave him the name 'Amandla'. Say this name a few more times. "
Shaw Danon whispered: "Amandla, Amandla, gambling will always lose..." He laughed and bent over.
Xavion wanted to make him laugh and slightly reduce his sadness. Seeing Shaw Danon was happy, he was also quite happy. He smiled: "Sixth Shidi had a bad habit of gambling before he entered the sect. Later, by chance, he was brought up to the mountain by master. Although he doesn't gamble anymore, he usually likes to gamble with others. Shi niang's action is also a warning."
Shaw Danon's childlike nature brightened up. His sadness faded a lot. Seeing Da Shixiong being so friendly, his fear of the future also slowly settled down.
After eating in the kitchen, Xavion took Shaw Danon to Bamboo Peak's main hall, "Hall of Observed Silence". Qing Yun sect Big Bamboo Valley people from top to bottom, right now all gathered in Observed Silence Hall, here the floor was paved with red bricks, red tiles and stone pillars, in the middle of the hall was engraved with a big 'Taiji' diagram, overall it was very simple.
There were two chairs in front of the hall, sitting two people, one was Tian BuYi, the other was a quiet and dignified beautiful woman, looked to be in her thirties, graceful and charming, standing beside her was a little girl, delicate features, a pair of bright eyes, extremely lively, lovable.
As for the other five male disciples, they were standing in a line. Some tall, some short, some strong, some thin. Their eyes were all on Shaw Danon.
Xavion walked to the front of the hall, said respectfully: "Master, Shi niang, disciple brought Xiao Shidi here."
Tian Bolis snorted, a little impatient. Surin looked at Shaw Danon, said: "Daren, he slept for a day and night. I'm afraid he is hungry. You take him to eat something first."
Xavion said: "Shi niang, I have already taken Xiao Shidi to the kitchen to eat."
Surin nodded. She looked at Tian Bolis and did not say anything. Tian Bolis snorted again, said: "Let's begin."
Shaw Danon did not understand. Xavion whispered behind him: "Xiao Shidi, quickly kneel down and kowtow to your master."
Shaw Danon immediately kneeled down. "Dong dong dong." He kowtowed more than ten times, loud and heavy.
"Ha ha." That little girl Hidi could not help but laugh. Surin smiled: "Good boy. Kowtow nine times is enough."
Shaw Danon said "oh." Then he stopped and raised his head. Everyone saw his forehead was red. They could not help but laugh. But in Tian Bolis's eyes, he was even more stupid. Once he thought of teaching this kind of idiot, his head seemed to get bigger.
"Alright, that's it," Tian BuYi's mood was extremely bad, waved his hand and said, "Daren, you take care of him first, our sect's rules, and also some entry-level skills, you teach him first."
Xavion answered: "Yes," then hesitated, said: "But master, xiao di is still young. The basic disciple's homework..."
Tian Bolis rolled his eyes, said: "Do it." Then he stood up and walked to the back of the hall without looking back. The disciples bowed together, said: "Goodbye master."
After Tian Bolis left, before anyone could say anything, the little girl Hidi had already flashed in front of Shaw Danon. She stared at him. Shaw Danon saw her lovely face swaying in front of him. Although she was young, she was already a beauty. When he was at Grasstemple Village, he had never seen such a beautiful girl of the same age. He could not help but blush.
"Ha," Hidi was like she found a treasure. She pointed at Shaw Danon and laughed: "Shixiong, look, he blushes when he sees me."
The hall burst into laughter. Shaw Danon's face became even redder. Surin came over and scolded: "Hidi, don't bully Shidi."
Hidi made a face, but she did not take her mother's words to heart. She stood up and said to Shaw Danon: "Hey, call me Shijie."
Shaw Danon was angry, but Hidi's bright eyes and white teeth floated before his eyes. He was confused and could not help but call out: "Shijie."
Tian LingEr had always been ranked last in Big Bamboo Valley, and now that she had a junior brother who was younger than her, she was extremely happy. She immediately acted like an elder and said, "Be good, little junior brother, in future you must listen to your senior sister."
Shaw Danon mumbled: "Yes."
Surin pulled her daughter, said: "Don't mess around." Then she said to Xavion: "Daren, Xiao Shidi is still young. The homework will be a little difficult for him. Take care of him."
Xavion respectfully said: "Yes."
The other five disciples stood together and giggled. Their eyes darted around as if they were taking pleasure in the other party's misfortune.
At this moment, Surin suddenly made a strange movement. She turned her head around like she was stretching her muscles. It was very different from her usual dignified temperament. In a short moment, Big Bamboo Peak disciples, including Xavion, stopped laughing, each and every one of them was tongue-tied, as if a disaster was about to befall them.
Surin cleared her throat, said: "You all..."
"Shiniang," a voice called out. It was Song Daren, with sweat on his forehead, shouting anxiously.
Surin frowned, said: "What?"
The other five Shidi said at the same time: "Da Shixiong, what are you doing?"
Xavion hurriedly said: "Shi niang, Xiao Shidi has just entered the sect. Disciple is following master's order to teach him the rules and homework. I have to go now."
Surin pondered for a moment, nodded: "You are right. Go."
"What?" The remaining five Shidi shouted at the same time.
Xavion laughed dryly, picked up Shaw Danon, did not wait for Shaw Danon to ask, immediately went outside, said: "Xiao Shidi, let Shixiong find a secluded place, first teach you the rules of the faction..."
Hidi smiled and followed. She felt it was very interesting. Someone behind her scolded loudly: "Da Shixiong, you are shameless!"
"Coward!"
...
Shaw Danon was puzzled. He thought, "Da Shixiong is teaching me the rules. Why is he being scolded as a coward?"
As he was thinking, SuRu suddenly shouted, her voice was clear and sweet, like ice cutting through snow, "Shut up."
The hall immediately fell silent.
He heard Su Ru say, "You bunch of good-for-nothings, as soon as you see that I am going to test your cultivation, you become so scared. In another five years, it will be the Seven Peaks Martial Competition that is held once every sixty years. Last time, you two already made me and your master half to death. If we don't work hard this time, we will be humiliated to death by our peers! Come, all five of you come together... "
Xavion ran faster and faster. After leaving the hall, he went straight to the back of the mountain. Shaw Danon was lying on his shoulder. The trees on both sides were moving backward at an extremely fast speed. Behind them, Hidi had taken out a Vermilion Jade Silk. It was a light amber color, almost transparent. It emitted rays of red light. It was a fairy's esper. Hidi was leisurely standing on the Vermilion Jade Silk. Her hand made a sign. The Vermilion Jade Silk carried her into the air and followed closely behind Xavion.
Shaw Danon had never seen such a miraculous thing before. While he was surprised, he saw Hidi was flying with the wind, extremely elegant. His eyes were filled with envy.
Hidi saw his expression. She was very proud. She rode the Vermilion Jade Silk and walked next to Shaw Danon. She said: "How is it? Am I very good?"
Shaw Danon nodded desperately, said: "Yes, Shijie, you are very good. You can run so fast riding the Red Cloth!"
Tian LingEr was stunned for a moment and then realized what he meant by the red cloth rules. She was so angry that she spat but could not help but laughed out, "Big idiot!"
Shaw Danon was puzzled. Xavion laughed: "Xiao Shidi, what nonsense are you talking about. That" Phoenix Silk "is the esper that Shi niang practiced when she was young. It is very powerful. Even in Jadeon, it is a famous fairy's esper. How could it be a Red Cloth?" Then he laughed.
Shaw Danon's face turned red. He secretly looked at Hidi. She was smiling at him. Two dimples appeared on her cheeks.
After a while, the three of them came to a small hill. Xavion stopped and put Shaw Danon down. Tian LingEr also landed on the ground and stopped her hand gestures. The "Amber Vermillion Silk", as if it had a mind of its own, automatically rolled up and coiled around her waist. It looked like a beautiful red belt.
The hill was full of bamboo. Some were thick, some were thin, forming a forest. It was very luxuriant. However, upon closer inspection, the bamboo here was different from the usual ones. The joints of the bamboo were all black.
Xavion pointed at the bamboo forest, said to Shaw Danon: "Xiao Shidi, the rule of our Bamboo Peak is that the new disciples must come here every day to cut bamboo. You are still young. For the first three months, you can cut one bamboo every day. As for the thickness, it is up to you. "
When Shaw Danon first heard that Surin needed Xavion to take care of Surin, he thought it was something difficult. Unexpectedly, it was just cutting wood. He was born in Grasstemple Village, a farmer. He also went up the mountain with the adults several times and cut wood. His heart was relieved. He smiled and said: "Da Shixiong, I have cut wood before. Don't worry."
Xavion looked at him. He wanted to say something but stopped. He smiled and said: "That's good. We will walk back slowly. I will show you the way. Later, you can come here alone. I will also tell you the rules. "
Hidi smiled: "Da Shixiong, why did you come so far in such a hurry? Instead of saying such irrelevant words, you still want to walk back slowly. Are you afraid of getting beaten by my mother?"
Xavion's face turned red. He ignored her and said to Shaw Danon: "Xiao Shidi, remember, the first rule of the faction is to respect the master..."
Head of Jadeon's Bamboo Peak, Tian Bolis is lazy. Although he wants to save face, he is too lazy to discipline his disciples. After teaching them Taoism, he ignored them and let his disciples practice on their own. But his wife, Surin, was a strong-minded person and liked to fight. When she was young, she was famous. After she married Tian Bolis, she became much more reserved. But one reason was that her hands were always itchy, and two, her disciples were not very good. Every sixty years, Jadeon would hold the "Seven Peaks Tournament" test. After a few times, Bamboo Peak disciples lost every time. Except for Da Shixiong Xavion who occasionally won a match, the rest of the disciples all lost. They became the laughing stock of Jadeon.
Surin was strong all her life. How could she endure this? She often "taught" the disciples on behalf of her husband Tian Bolis. Although her appearance was gentle and beautiful, her temperament was rather impatient, and her cultivation was extremely high. If she was not careful, she would beat these disciples until they covered their heads and scurried away like rats. Their bodies were covered with cuts and bruises, so that they feared this beautiful master's wife far more than their short and fat master.
It was already late. The sun had set in the west. The sky was bright. The setting sun shone on Big Bamboo Valley, this one big and two small unhurriedly walked towards the front of the mountain, from the houses in front of the mountain, a long barking was heard, mixed with some pitiful people's cries of pain.
