You cultivate immortality, I cultivate merit

Chapter 7 Cursed

After Master Pingyang lifted Shi Zelan up onto the flying sword and stood firm, he said, "I'll take you to the lecture hall. Do you know many words now?"

"Uncle, I can memorize "The Thousand-Character Classic" and "The Analects of Confucius", but I haven't learned anything else."

After Shi Zelan stood firm on her sword, she was in the mood to look down from above. During the day, the magnificent sight of the Yun Yan Sect's sect made her exclaim.

"Uncle, where I live is far from the lecture hall. Will Mr. Wu pick me up from school in the future?"

Master Pingyang smiled and said nothing, but a trace of pity flashed in his eyes.

His master loved Shi Zelan, his apprentice and granddaughter, but he would never be soft on such important matters.

Two breaths later, the lecture hall arrived, and Master Pingyang took Shi Zelan off the flying sword.

The sword suddenly returned to its scabbard.

Pingyang Zhenren took Shi Zelan to meet the director of the teaching hall, and she was taken to visit the teaching hall by the supervisor arranged by the director.

In the hall, the mountain chief looked at Master Pingyang: "Brother Pingyang, does your master have anything to say?"

"none."

When Shi Zelan came back, the mountain director had already arranged Shi Zelan's studies. She had just entered the lecture hall, so naturally she went to the literacy classroom to start class first.

Shi Zelan looked at the calm expression on Pingyang's face and respectfully agreed.

Pingyang Zhenren took Shi Zelan back to the yard and gave her a jasper bracelet.

"The books you want to use are all in this bracelet."

When Shi Zelan smiled and nodded, Zhenren Pingyang had already grabbed her finger and pinched it gently. The blood from her fingertips fell on the bracelet and quickly blended into it.

Shi Zelan reached out and touched the bracelet out of curiosity, and poured out a pile of books. Then the bracelet was still a bracelet.

Master Pingyang told Shi Bachun who was waiting aside: "Tell Sister Lan about some of the rules in the sect, and you will send her to study in the lecture hall tomorrow."

"Yes." Shi Bachun lowered his head and agreed.

After Master Pingyang left, Shi Bachun whispered to Shi Zelan: "Sister Lan, according to the sect's rules, students can only go to school on foot before they can fly with a sword."

Shi Zelan nodded clearly and looked at his short legs again.

"Ba Gu, I will get up early and go to school tomorrow."

"Bagu, where are Xiaoliu and the others? Do they also want to go to school?"

"The sect has a residence for the outer disciples, and they have settled in safely. They can study in the sect's outer disciples' school.

Before they become inner disciples, they are not qualified to enter the lecture hall to study. "

It was dark, and he was walking on the road with his short legs. When it got light, Shi Zelan arrived at the door of the lecture hall sweating profusely.

Shi Bachun watched Shi Zelan enter the courtyard gate from outside, and then she reluctantly returned to the courtyard.

She is now trying to fly with her sword. She only flies for a while and then stops to rest for a while.

Shi Zelan and his wife entered the classroom and were a little surprised when they saw the two empty rows in front and the five full rows of children in the back.

The Master pointed to the middle seat in the first row for Shi Zelan: "You will sit in this seat from now on."

Shi Zelan obediently walked to the first row and sat down. She looked at the empty seats on the left and right and listened to what was going on outside.

On this day, Shi Zelan did not wait for the other students in the first and second rows. Instead, she listened to the unfriendly news announced to her by the people sitting behind her.

The first two rows were filled with children between the ages of three and five, and Shi Zelan happened to be actually five years old. At Shenshi, Shi Bachun came to take Shi Zelan back. She smiled and asked, "Sister Lan, are the people sitting around you friendly to you?"

Shi Zelan thought for a while: "It's good, they have never come to class."

Shi Bachun understood immediately: "Sister Lan, you can sit in the third row next year."

Shi Zelan originally thought that literacy class was very easy for her, but when the master taught them to learn "The Book of Changes", she was shocked.

The content of the Master's teachings was mostly different from the "Book of Changes" she had heard of. It was also slightly different from the "Book of Changes" prepared for her by Master Pingyang.

Shi Zelan quietly turned to the students in the back row. Seeing their natural expressions, he felt that he was making too much of a fuss.

One day, two days, three days, and a month passed, and the Master began to teach them to meditate and enter concentration.

March has passed, and several classmates are missing from the literacy class. They go to other classes to study. Shi Zelan is secretly anxious. When she meditates, she can already feel the spiritual energy surrounding her.

However, the spiritual energy could never enter the body, and most of her classmates had entered the first stage of Qi refining.

The mountain chief asked Shi Zelan's wife. After learning about Shi Zelan's situation, he said to his wife: "Conceal this matter."

"Chief, I'm afraid I can't hide it. The children are young, and they will mention Shi Zelan's abnormal situation to the elders in the family.

Shanzhang, I saw that she indeed has Tianlinggen. Why can’t she get in despite practicing so hard? "

"Shan Chief, was she plotted against by a cultivator when she was in the mortal world?"

"Stop guessing, just do your job."

The weather was getting cold, so Lord Fengyuan met with Shi Zelan twice more. He asked people to prepare firewood and food for her, and also asked her about her situation in the lecture hall with concern.

Shi Zelan already felt that something was wrong with him and asked: "Master, using the same cultivation method, why can't spiritual energy enter my body?"

"If there is a little chance, you continue to practice. When the opportunity comes, you will naturally be able to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth."

"Master, are my father and mother still alive?"

"Alive, they are just trapped in one place. If they find a way, they will naturally come back."

After Shi Zelan left, Zhenren Pingyang came out of the side hall and looked at Zhenjun Fengyuan: "Master, there is something very wrong with Sister Lan. It seems like someone has plotted against her."

True Lord Fengyuan glanced at him: "Since you know the information, you have time to look up what happened three years before and after Sister Lan's birth."

"Master, what do you mean, is that Sister Lan's mother was secretly plotted when she was pregnant with her?

Impossible. Junior Brother Beichen is such a shrewd person, how could he allow the people around him to be plotted against? "

"If they can come back now, maybe we can find out from them the reason why Sister Lan was cursed and plotted."

"Master, children are not sensible. If Sister Lan never reaches the first stage of Qi Refining, I'm afraid they will bully Sister Lan."

"Pingyang, in a situation like hers, she has to put in more effort and suffer more than others.

If she can pass this level, her future achievements will not be worse than Beichen's.

If you think about our first peak leader, he encountered more things than Sister Lan encountered today. "

"Master, what do you mean, Master, the Shi family has a tenacity in their bones, and they will only become stronger when encountering violence?"

It was because of Zhenren Pingyang's concern for Shi Zelan that Lord Fengyuan said something to him. He nodded at this moment.
