Qianxiang Baimei

Chapter 21
Master once said that people are very complicated, and we must not only look at people on the surface.Sometimes someone smiles at you and has a kind face, but they can’t tell if they have any bad ideas in their hearts; while some people are not good at words, but they have a cold face and a warm heart, which can be a close friend.

Li Fei memorized all these words, but did not understand the deep meaning in them.She always thought that she had seen everything after traveling with her master all these years, but in the final analysis, she was just a ten-year-old girl who didn't understand people's hearts, that's why she was played by Lei Xiuyuan so cruelly.

It was already late at night, and Li Fei was still tossing and turning in bed, unable to fall asleep. She finally rejected the proposal to live with Baili Gelin, and moved there at this moment, as if admitting defeat, whether it was for Ji Tongzhou or Lei Xiuyuan , she has a clear conscience and righteousness, why did she move away?If you want to move, it should be the two of them.

She hadn't slept for two whole days and one night, and she was too tired to lift her hands, but she just couldn't fall asleep, and it was Lei Xiuyuan's fault that every thought turned and rose.Is he just a prank?Or did he intend to frame her maliciously?If Changyue hadn't discovered his little tricks, she would probably still regard him as a friend wishful thinking and trust him without reservation.

Sighing, Li Fei sat up and poured a glass of water, couldn't sleep, and had nothing to do, Riyan would wake up for several days, it was late at night, and there was no one to talk to.

She sat on the edge of the bed in a daze. After an unknown amount of time, the moonlight gradually climbed up the window lattice and sprinkled on the edge of the bed. There seemed to be a broken skin wound, probably accidentally scratched during the daytime sword practice, she didn't care, rubbed it casually, and just rubbed a thin strand of skin with her fingertips.

Li Fei was taken aback, didn't he not sleep for two days!Tired and peeling? !
She rolled up her sleeves, but saw that her arms were intact, her skin was smooth and firm, not to mention peeling, there was not even a small cut. Could the skin that was rubbed off just now be an illusion?
Li Fei stood there stupidly for a long time, then quickly lit the oil lamp and searched under and under the bed, but he couldn't find the skin that he rubbed off just now—could it really be an illusion?It seems that she should go to bed quickly, she is so tired that she has the terrible hallucination of peeling skin!
The next day she was awakened by knocks on the door, and Baili Gelin yelled outside the door: "Li Fei! You can't afford it?! It's really late!"

Li Fei opened her eyes in a daze. She hadn't had enough sleep yet. She staggered and opened the door for Baili Gelin. She rubbed her eyes and murmured: "I, I'll be fine soon, just wait a moment."

Baili Gelin originally didn't plan to enter Qianxiang Room, but when the door opened, the morning breeze blew, and a very warm and fresh fragrance filled the room, making one want to be drunk.She couldn't help walking into the room, sniffing around, wondering: "Li Fei, what kind of fragrance did you smoke? It smells so good!"

Li Fei washed his face with cold water and said, "Where did I get the spices? It's the scent of flowers outside the window."

"It's not like a flower scent! It doesn't sound like a spice either..."

Baili Gelin walked to the bed following the fragrance, and the strongest fragrance came from her quilt. She grabbed the quilt and sniffed it fiercely before putting it in her nose, and shouted: "You still say no to incense! The smell on your quilt!"

"That's the incense from the academy, am I like someone who knows how to use spices?"

Baili Gelin leaned over and sniffed her neck, curiously said: "Hey, really, you don't have that scent on you... It's strange, what kind of scent is that so good?"

"It's just the fragrance of flowers. This room is called Qianxiangjian. If it's not fragrant, how can it live up to my name." Li Fei quickly changed into his disciple's clothes, and combed his messy hair in front of the mirror.

Baili Gelin saw her tearing her hair mercilessly, as if she had a grudge against them, so she quickly grabbed the comb: "Let me do it! If you pull it like this, your hair will be gone."

She neatly braided her braids, Baili Gelin stared at Li Fei's face reflected in the bronze mirror for a while, and suddenly called out: "Are you gray again? How did you turn gray so fast! Your hair is also black Li Fei, tell me the truth, did you secretly use some beauty products? If you don’t share the good things, it will be struck by lightning!”

Li Fei simply rolled her eyes: "Do you think I look like someone who can use these things!"

But she is really pale... Baili Gelin stared at the face in the bronze mirror, as if something changed overnight, she didn't seem so pale yesterday, when she first met Li Fei, she It looks like a small piece of charcoal, black but not autumn. Later, it was raised in Huaguang County and Honglu for two months. It became a little whiter, but it was still dark. But looking at it today, she is almost as white as Kuai and myself. Wearing a white dress and a red dress, her bland facial features gave off a watery smell. Now that she goes out, no one will mistake her for a tomboy anymore.

"Okay." Braiding a thick braid for her, Baili Gelin took a step back in satisfaction and looked at her carefully. Seeing that her thick eyebrows were very conspicuous, he sat her down again: "Don't move, today is the day." I have to fix your eyebrows."

Can they still rush to the open space of the disciple's room before Maoshi?Li Fei sat helplessly, allowing her to scrape and trim his eyebrows with a knife.

"Li Fei, let me tell you, that guy surnamed Zhao insisted on asking me to watch the moon with him last night. He is really inconsiderate and overbearing. I think he has no ink in his stomach. He is just a rough person. Me , I don’t like this kind of rough people. But the boy surnamed Wu who lives in the same yard with him seems to be quite gentle, and he speaks well. He even gave me a flower, but he is a little short. I hope he can grow taller in the future .”

While trimming her eyebrows, Baili Gelin muttered about her complex, tortuous and rapidly changing love history. Yesterday she seemed to say that the one surnamed Zhao was good, but today the one surnamed Wu became Wu. Li Fei could only laugh dryly: "Ge Lin, you, you are really...that, full of emotion."

"That's not true." Baili Gelin pouted, "I can only like one person, and as long as I really like it, I will definitely like it for the rest of my life."

But if you keep changing like this, when will you really like it?Li Fei didn't say these words, she always felt that there was no liking between Ge Lin and the person surnamed Zhao or Wu, she seemed to be eagerly looking for a choice, eager to find someone she liked , she doesn't quite understand this mentality, but she doesn't make irresponsible remarks either.

"Well, your eyebrows are in good shape, you don't need to trim them too thinly, just shave off the miscellaneous hairs on the sides. Take a look." Baili Gelin pushed the bronze mirror in front of her.

Li Fei glanced at it casually, in the mirror it was still the familiar face, with plain facial features, but it did seem to be much whiter, and after the eyebrows were trimmed, the whole face looked clean, much prettier than before.

"You are amazing." She admired, it was the first time she saw herself so girl-like.

"Of course!" Baili Gelin proudly put away the knife, "When I was performing arts with my sister, I did all the makeup and hairdos!"

Ye Ye's voice suddenly sounded outside the window: "I told you two, it's almost time, are you going to be fined for being late?"

"Ye Ye is here!" Baili Gelin pulled Li Fei out with a smile, and made a face at him, "Isn't he coming! Look at Li Fei, isn't he much prettier?"

Ye Ye smiled wryly: "You're going to mess around, hurry up, sir is coming soon."

Baili Gelin walked with him talking and laughing all the way, this kind of smile, this kind of voice, this kind of attitude, she had never treated any boy before, and she would only show it in front of Ye Ye.Although Li Fei has not yet reached the age of normal aesthetics, she still thinks that Baili Gelin who is with Ye Ye is the most beautiful.

Maybe it's because they get along like family... Li Fei sighed, thinking of her master.

In the open space outside the disciple's room, the children have basically arrived, and Yu Jian has learned, so it must be that they will enter the formal practice starting today. Everyone is very excited and looking forward to it.The practice book says that the first step in formal practice is "Cultivation in the Furnace", what does that mean?Is it possible to lock people in a furnace and run their inner breath?Will it suffocate?
Just as they were thinking about each other, the master came. Hu Jiaping wore a white shirt in a serious manner today, and his hair was neatly tied. From head to toe, he finally looked like an elite disciple of the Xianjia sect. He probably entered a formal practice. This foolish gentleman is finally going to act like a gentleman.

"Today, we will start practicing in a group of three." Hu Jiaping took out a stack of papers, flipped through them, and said in a rare serious manner, "I originally wanted to group you according to your potential and spiritual root attributes, but this is too troublesome. And the gentleman who tested the spiritual root attribute hasn't come to the academy yet... It just so happens that three of you live in one courtyard, and the 18 people are just divided into six groups, so let's divide them according to this. Come on, those who live in one courtyard stand in a group, hurry up. "

They are grouped according to the accommodation yard... Li Fei's heart sank, meaning she is in the same group as Ji Tongzhou and Lei Xiuyuan?This is simply the worst group... She turned her head subconsciously, and the first thing she saw was Ji Tongzhou's miserable green face that couldn't be covered by the gauze. Lei Xiu stood far behind, but couldn't see clearly his expression.

"Sir!" Ji Tongzhou suddenly interrupted Hu Jiaping loudly, "I oppose such grouping!"

Hu Jiaping didn't raise his head, and said calmly: "It's useless to oppose, you can either group up or leave, you choose."

Ji Tongzhou had no choice but to shut up obediently, glared at Li Fei, then at Lei Xiuyuan, snorted, stood still with his arms folded, and waited for them to come over.

"You three, what do you say?" Hu Jiaping found that the others stood in groups of three, but Li Fei's three stood on their own, without moving.He was probably in a bad mood today, he frowned and said, "If you don't stand still, leave!"

Li Fei had no choice but to move a few steps towards Ji Tongzhou, and they were considered to be standing together with him at a distance, while Lei Xiuyuan approached him very generously. Covered with gauze, no expression can be seen.

"Although you all have excellent aptitude and deep spiritual roots, the so-called strength is only compared to ordinary mortals. Any ordinary disciple picked by the Xianjia sect will be stronger than you. The root cause is not that their aptitude is better than you. It's because your spiritual energy is not enough, and your furnace has not yet been developed."

Hu Jiaping said again: "The immortal attracts the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the body and circulates the inner breath. It is like a furnace in the body. The bigger the furnace, the more spiritual energy can be attracted. If your current furnace is as big as a teacup, then My furnace is... well, it's as big as that island."

He pointed to the largest floating island in the west, and the children let out a low cry of surprise. He smiled and continued: "As for those powerful immortals who really shake the earth, their furnaces should be bigger than this academy. It's going to be several times bigger."

Bigger than the academy!But their furnace was only the size of a teacup... The children fell silent in awe.

"Knowing the gap makes you motivated." A small white cloud suddenly appeared on the soles of Hu Jiaping's feet, supporting him to fly lightly, "Follow me, now go to the martial arts field in the west, and the official practice begins."

The west island is the largest of the five giant floating islands. Various buildings criss-cross on it, and there are martial arts fields in the east, west, south, and north. Hu Jiaping took them to the smallest one.The Martial arts arena is covered with large white bricks, in a square shape. Dozens of half-person-high stone puppets are placed in a line on the east side. Disciples broke it during practice.

Hu Jiaping found a corner, waved his long sleeves, and suddenly there were five small bamboo baskets on the ground. Inside the baskets seemed to be stacks of thick charms. It is said that such charms are also very troublesome to make. In the academy, it's like waste paper that doesn't cost money, and they can take it as they please.

"Now in a group of three, each person comes up to receive one hundred each of the five kinds of charms of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth."

The bamboo baskets floated lightly and turned around. Sure enough, there were words written on each bamboo basket, which were gold, wood, water, fire and earth.

Finally, it looks like a formal practice!The children excitedly went forward and took five thick stacks of charms, and then?Where is the stove?

Seeing that the charms were distributed, Hu Jiaping pointed to the pile of puppets on the east side of the martial arts arena, and said calmly: "A group of three, choose a doll, and be sure to use up all the five hundred spells before dark today." , and no one is allowed to be left. How many days are left, you are not allowed to go to the North Face Restaurant to eat."

Five hundred!Everyone exclaimed, and immediately understood what he meant by "cultivation in the furnace". It turned out that it was not the external furnace, but the invisible furnace in their bodies.If the five hundred spells are used up, it will be a great burden on the eight extraordinary meridians in the body. It will be a problem whether the inner breath can be smoothly circulated the next day. This kind of practice is not cruel.

On the fourth day of Chufeng Academy, the official practice began, and the children finally experienced the harshness and cruelty of the academy for the first time.
