Chapter 26 Second Brother, What Do You Say?
Nan Wang was carried back to the outer gate by Zhan Chenming.
During the time he was unconscious, his realm had already broken through to the eighth level of body refining, and he was constantly striving for the great perfection of body refining.
The Ruoxi bird that Zhu Tianque casually took out from his storage bag was a priceless elixir. Not to mention a whole bird, even a feather would be very useful. It was strange that Nan Wang ate so much of it in a hurry and saw no effect.
However, high-level elixirs are non-reusable. An elixir that is highly effective the first time it is taken may have a reduced effect or even be completely useless the next time it is taken.
For Nanwang, using rare high-level elixirs too early is not a good thing.
His cultivation level cannot be improved by just relying on spiritual medicine.
It has to be an elixir, it has to be an elixir.
And there are large quantities of high-quality and even immortal-grade elixirs.
However, the elder of Dan Sect will not be back in a short time, and among the remaining disciples of Dan Sect, there is only Chu Songping, a top-grade alchemist. If he is unwilling to help, Nan Wang’s elixir will be nowhere to be found.
Although Danzong also has alchemy disciples of other levels, refining elixirs is different from refining instruments. If the instrument is not refined successfully, it will at most be useless. But if the elixir is not refined well, not only will it fail to play a positive role after taking it, it may even affect the original cultivation level.
How can I convince the second brother?
Zhan Chenming racked his brains but could not think of a solution.
After sending Nanwang back to the outer sect residence, he went to stay with the disciple who was selected by the Zhen Sect.
Along the way, he was always thinking about his second brother.
Senior Sister had already done the lobbying work and failed. If Senior Sister couldn't persuade him to do something, there was no way he would succeed.
Moreover, Second Senior Brother has a bad temper. The more he forces something, the less success he gets. Using force will definitely not work, but soft words will probably be useless. What Second Senior Brother hates most is trash who has no talent for cultivating immortals but covets immortality.
It is invulnerable to knives and guns, and it cannot be absorbed by anything soft or hard.
Is it possible for Second Brother to change his mind?
Zhan Chenming felt there was no hope.
However, just when the party was over, the senior sister called him out alone.
In addition to instructing him to send Nan Wang back to the outer gate safely, the eldest senior sister also asked him to keep a close eye on Nan Wang after he went to the outer gate, and once he discovered any special circumstances, such as Nan Wang's sudden increase in cultivation, or "accidentally" picking up a elixir, he should call her to come and see the excitement.
When saying these words, the eldest senior sister's tone was sinister and her attitude was arrogant, as if she was certain that the second senior brother would change his mind sooner or later and make the elixir for Nanwang.
Although Zhan Chenming didn't know what kind of tricks the senior sister had, out of trust in her, he still took the job and prepared to stay in the outer sect for a while.
…
Three days later, Nanwang's cultivation successfully reached the great perfection of body refining.
Although Nan Wang was confused about the inexplicable improvement in his cultivation, he was not too entangled in the reasons.
It's a bit like suddenly picking up a lottery ticket that won five million dollars while walking on the street. No matter what happens, just be happy!
It took Nanwang ten years to reach the third level of body refinement, but now, only two months have passed and he has achieved complete perfection.
Who wouldn't be happy about this kind of thing?
The cultivation of Qi Refining is the threshold for Qingyun Sect's disciples to enter the inner sect, but for the outer sect, the cultivation of the Great Perfection of Body Refining is the highest cultivation here.
When Nan Wang first came to the outer sect, he was a "relative" who was not even satisfied with the fifth level of the body refining realm, and no outer sect disciple looked up to him. But not long after that, things changed dramatically.
There are no secrets in the outer sect. When the disciples’ cultivation level is improved, they will move to a new residence. Nan Wang’s cultivation level was raised from the third level of body training to the great perfection of body training in a short period of time, and his residence was moved from the foot of the mountain to a location near the top of the mountain in one breath.
After the move, Nan Wang's residence became much bigger and the facilities inside the house were much richer. Although it was still not as luxurious as the eldest senior sister's residence in the Sword Sect, it was already the best treatment for being placed in the outer sect.
In the past, Nanwang's house was deserted, but now, many outer disciples pass by his door every day, and some even meditate in front of his house. Every time Nanwang goes out, he has to be extra careful where he steps to avoid accidentally stepping on anyone.
When Nanwang returned to his job as a miscellaneous disciple to look after his few acres of wasteland, he would always run into a few fellow disciples on his way who would come to chat with him with spiritual stones and spiritual medicines.
Nan Wang had never had such an experience before, whether when he was a menial disciple or when he had just entered the outer gate.
He had always thought that cultivating immortals was a lonely thing and that it was normal to have no friends. Now he finally understood that it was because his cultivation was not high enough and he could leave Qingyun Sect and return to the mortal world at any time, so no one paid attention to him. Now that his cultivation was high enough, he naturally attracted like-minded people.
Soon, Nan Wang's heart, which had been silent for a long time, finally came back to life. His social nature was activated again after many years. He began to invite a few outer disciples to meditate and discuss the Dao together every now and then, and to discuss the puzzle games he had recently developed, such as "Dou Dizhu"...
When Nanwang was enjoying a prosperous life, shocking news came from the outside world:
Second Senior Brother is here to give outer sect lessons again!
Nanwang heard about this while he was discussing Taoism and playing cards with two other disciples.
"My eldest brother is in Fazong. His information cannot be wrong. He will be here tomorrow. I hope nothing unexpected will happen this time. Three of us will lead one."
The one who spoke was Luo Xuyou. He had been in the outer sect for a full sixty years and looked like a middle-aged man. He was considered the big brother in the outer sect. He was well-informed and knew everything, but his cultivation was only at the seventh level of body refining and he had not even touched the threshold of body refining perfection.
"Brother Luo is always well-informed. I believe what he says. Sorry, I will pass."
Yuan He, another poker player at the table, said.
"Well done! King bomb! I'm done!"
Nan Wang threw the cards away and said in a domineering manner.
It was Chu Songping who made him lose face last time, and this time he must avenge himself!
Prove your perseverance and strength in front of all the disciples!
The next day, Nan Wang got up before dawn.
He bathed, burned incense, put on new disciple clothes, and walked up the Dragon Stairs in the early morning light.
After changing the residence, it only takes half an incense stick of distance to get from Nanwang to the Disciple Courtyard. It is completely different from the previous situation where one had to start climbing from the foot of the mountain early in the morning and reach the Disciple Courtyard when the sun was already high in the sky.
Because he arrived early, Nanwang grabbed a seat in the second row this time.
Most of the outer disciples around him have reached the great perfection of body refining and are only one step away from Qi refining.
In modern times, that would mean being the top student in the class.
Today, Nanwang has already been integrated into the team of top students in terms of both cultivation and seat.
However, unlike the top students of today who can take the high school entrance examinations and college entrance examinations when the time comes, many of the disciples here who have achieved great perfection in body refining may not be able to break through the threshold of qi refining in their entire lives.
For the true disciples who are rich in resources or have extraordinary talents, refining qi is as simple as eating and drinking water, but for these outer disciples with mediocre qualifications, it is a huge obstacle that they may not be able to break through even after spending ten or even dozens of years.
The common goal of all outer disciples is to break through the Qi refining stage. In order to achieve this goal, they have tried every means and spared no effort. Meditating at the gate of Nanwang is one of the means. After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Nanwang's cultivation has improved so quickly, there must be a master helping him behind the scenes. If they have more contact with him, maybe it will benefit them, right?
The teachings of Second Senior Brother Chu Songping are like a life-saving straw to these disciples who have had no hope of making a breakthrough for many years. Although they know in their hearts that simply practicing techniques cannot enable them to break through to the Qi Refining stage, the chances of sudden enlightenment in this world are hard to explain, so what if?
What if they suddenly had some inspiration during Chu Songping's class and made a breakthrough in one fell swoop?
Taking a step back, what if I could gain Chu Songping's appreciation and be selected as the Lord of Fazong in advance?
Isn’t it easy for Chu Songping to help a disciple break through the Qi Refining stage?
It was just a few pills that leaked out from between his fingers.
…
Accompanied by the sound of the bell, Chu Songping stepped into the disciple courtyard on time.
All the disciples held their breath, stared with wide eyes, and were in disbelief at what they saw.
Today's Chu Songping... is extremely conspicuous.
Chu Songping was usually very conspicuous. He was born with a unique appearance and extraordinary looks. He always stood out among the crowd. Among all the true disciples, the only one who could compare with him was his senior brother Zhu Tianque, who was surrounded by Buddha's light.
But today, Chu Songping's prominence has reached a point that has stunned all the outer disciples present - even if the eldest senior brother was present at the moment, he could not compare with him.
Chu Songping's attire...is different from everyone else present.
If I have to say, as a true disciple, Chu Songping's dress is different from that of the outer disciples.
However, what Chu Songping was wearing was not the clothes of a true disciple.
The scarlet robe was embroidered with gold thread and had a black lining. The collar was wide open, revealing snow-white shoulders and lean, powerful arms. On the shoulder blade was a bright red mark that was as delicate and tempting as a flower bud, trembling with anticipation.
The second brother with heterochromatic pupils had a cold look in his eyes, still the familiar arrogant look, but the hem of his robe was wide open, and his bare feet stepped on the ground. With every step, the infinite scenery loomed...
The disciples were all stunned.
True disciples do whatever they want, and not wearing disciple uniforms is not a big deal in itself, but what Chu Songping did was... too much.
Not only does his attire not conform to the Qingyun Sect's style, it doesn't even look like the attire of a righteous person.
It seems more like, it seems more like those... people from the evil cult?
“I’ll go!”
A cry of surprise echoed throughout the disciples' hall.
弟子們循聲望去，在角落的牆邊上看見了同樣被二師兄吓到目瞪口呆的戰沉明。
“我去！三師兄什麽時候來的？”
“怎麽一直沒看到他啊？”
“三師兄的隐身陣真是絕了，和環境融為一體，根本發現不了啊。”
楚松屏冷冷地看了戰沉明一眼，沒有和他交流的意思。
他淡定地到講臺前落座，随手拿起一枚玉簡，說道：“今日的課程，依然是清心決，其四，問心。”
外門弟子們不敢當着楚松屏的面交頭接耳，趕緊一個個低下頭，裝作認真聽課的樣子。
只是，這頭一低下去，視線也跟着下去了，再怎麽抱着非禮勿視的心态，他們也不可避免地看見了楚松屏那雙踩在地上的裸足。
尖端泛着紅的腳趾，一個個珠圓玉潤，嬌小可愛，真是叫人沒想到，向來嘴上不饒人的二師兄居然有這麽一雙玉足……
好幾個弟子突然覺得鼻子有點不舒服，伸手一抹，一手的血。
在清心決的講堂上被講師魅惑到流鼻血……無非承受這般恥辱的弟子的自尊心破裂了，哭着沖出了弟子堂。
楚松屏也不介意，繼續管他講課，弟子一個個都入鹌鹑般低着頭，幾個自覺道心不穩的弟子，幹脆把眼睛給閉上了。
這超凡脫俗的畫面，看得戰沉明眉頭緊皺，連連咂舌。
二師兄這是……要翻天啊。
戰沉明的手伸入儲物袋，猶豫着要不要把大師姐給他的信鳥拿出來。
按理說，出了這種事，确實得叫大師姐來主持大局。
但……戰沉明糾結了半天，又把手從儲物袋裏抽了出來。
手中空空蕩蕩，并沒有信鳥。
大師姐和二師兄之間剛生過罅隙，難保大師姐不會借着此事公報私仇，再加上劍宗那一脈相承的看熱鬧不嫌事大的傳統，要是大師姐來了，整個劍宗也就都知道二師兄的糗事了。
不過，其實……就算大師姐不來，二師兄這驚世駭俗的舉動，恐怕也是瞞不住了。
要不了幾天，整個山門的弟子就都該知道二師兄“衣冠不整”地來給外門弟子上課了。
再考慮到二師兄上品丹師的身份，不出半個月，就連其他仙門的人也會知道此事，下次再有人來求丹，獻上的可能就不是奇珍異寶，而是錦衣華服了……
唉，這都是個什麽事喲。
戰沉明無奈扶額。
南妄就坐在第二排，自然把楚松屏的模樣盡數收入眼底。
和其他那些心思各異的弟子不同，南妄心中毫無波瀾，甚至有些想笑。
他很清楚二師兄這麽做的原因，畢竟他看過原著。
南妄心想：
【二師兄每次和長老吵架沒吵過就換紅衣服穿，試圖用這樣幼稚的方式挑釁宗規，其實就和小朋友因為晚飯沒做自己愛吃的東西就離家出走的性質差不多，主要目的是吸引大人的注意力。】
正在講課的楚松屏聲音一頓，美玉般潔白的臉頰上飛上一抹紅霞，捏着玉簡的手指噼啪作響。
南妄繼續想：
【不過青雲宗名門正派，沒見過傲嬌小鬼也是正常的，二師兄這性格對于仙宗來說還是太超前了。】
楚松屏羞得連腳趾都蜷縮了起來，整個人像是被煮熟的蝦子一樣通紅通紅的。
南妄還在輸出：
【二師兄這樣不行啊，得讓人哄哄，法宗長老不是留在宗裏嗎，誰去通知一聲啊？】
戰沉明悄悄地站起身，試圖離開。
剛走到門口，就被一道蒼勁的靈氣攔下了。
楚松屏陰測測的聲音在遠處響起：“三師弟這是要去哪兒？”
戰沉明看着眼前被打穿的門扉，背後冷汗直冒。
弟子堂的建築上可是刻着防禦法陣的，這都能給打穿，也太兇殘了吧。
真、真不愧是法宗首座啊。
這道靈氣要是打在身上，就算他是鋼筋鐵骨，也得喝上一壺。
戰沉明瑟縮着說道：“我今日就過來看一眼，陣宗還有事等着我……”
楚松屏道：“進了我的課堂，沒我的允許，誰也不準離開。”
戰沉明沒敢反駁，轉過身，像螃蟹一樣橫着挪回了原地。
弟子們同情地看着戰沉明，雖嘴上不敢說什麽，心中卻都在為這個憨厚的真傳弟子抱不平。
沒有人注意到，借着戰沉明高大身軀的遮擋，一只琉璃制成的信鳥悄悄地飛出了弟子堂。
南妄在心中嘆息道：
【二師兄這樣蠻不講理，特立獨行，實在是和規規矩矩認真聽課的我形成了鮮明對比，今日過後，我一定能改變自己不學無術的形象，努力精進，一雪前恥！】
一炷香後。
南妄：zzz
戰沉明：“……”
楚松屏：“……”
……
南妄做了一個夢。
夢境中，他在九天之上遨游。
他的身軀似乎變得非常龐大，龐大到可以充滿整片天空。
他的眼前有一個若隐若現的人形，察覺到了他審視的目光，那人側過臉，對着他淺淺一笑。
那一笑，他仿佛見到了四季輪轉，冬去春來。
突然，那人衣袖一揮，不管不顧地向前飛去。
他趕緊追上前去，一把抓住對方的衣角——
入目一片赤色。
咦？那人穿的不是白衣嗎？
南妄擡起頭，對上二師兄楚松屏氣到扭曲的臉。
南妄回過神來：“不是，誤會，我剛才做了個夢，夢到了我以前的道侶……”
這話一出，南妄自己都愣了愣。
什麽以前的道侶？他以前也沒道侶啊。
難道這是個預知夢？他夢到的是他未來的道侶？
但是等一下，雖然他有點記不清夢裏的細節了，但是他好像記得夢中那人是個男人。
他未來的道侶……是個男的？
“還敢狡辯！”
楚松屏新仇舊恨一起算，整個人氣到聲音都發顫：
“今日課程到此結束，其他人可以走了！”
“你，給我留下！”
南妄：“……”
可惡，一雪前恥失敗了。
……
其他弟子走後，空蕩蕩的弟子堂裏只剩下三個人。
楚松屏，南妄，以及……戰沉明。
是的，戰沉明也一起留下了。
頂着楚松屏殺人般的目光，強行留下了。
戰沉明不敢把南妄一個人留給楚松屏，他怕楚松屏惱羞成怒之下，把南妄給塞進丹爐毀屍滅跡了。
好消息是，南妄的“異象”似乎只有修為遠高于他且他發自內心欽佩的人才能聽見，剛才在場的都是修為低于他的外門弟子，所以楚松屏這臉丢得不算太大，不至于一上來就對南妄下死手。
壞消息是，楚松屏塞一個進丹爐是塞，塞兩個進丹爐也是塞。
看着楚松屏黑沉沉的臉色，戰沉明覺得自己的擔心一點都不多餘。
雖然他們現在有兩個人，但在楚松屏面前，根本就不夠看的。
真傳弟子中，杜雪泠以外的所有人，都不是楚松屏都的對手。
就算是杜雪泠，也得是在楚松屏的術法沒施展起來之前一劍封喉才有勝機，一旦讓楚松屏施展開手腳，那術法就會一刻不停地形成沒有間隙的火力線，杜雪泠也無可奈何。
對戰沉明來說，他那副鋼筋鐵骨對上其他人還能過上幾招，對上楚松屏，那是一息都撐不住。
戰沉明在心中瘋狂吶喊：
救命啊，大師姐您到哪兒了啊？
再不來他就要頂不住了啊！
楚松屏并沒有多關注戰沉明，他的目光一直落南妄身上，直到看得南妄瑟瑟發抖，才清清嗓子，矜持地說道：
“屢次三番在我課上睡覺，怎麽，我講的課就那麽無趣嗎？”
南妄嘴上說得好聽：“怎麽會呢，二師兄真知灼見，字字珠玑，師弟受益匪淺……”
心中想的卻是：
【說無聊吧，确實也挺無聊，說不無聊吧，确實也挺無聊的。】
【不是，這課到底有多無聊二師兄心裏沒點數嗎？】
戰沉明：“……”
把楚松屏氣得滿臉通紅後，南妄又正色道：“其實我并非在二師兄的課上睡覺，而是聽得過于認真，進入了‘忘我’的狀态，看上去就和睡着了一樣。”
楚松屏順了順氣，開口諷刺道：
“修習懈怠，找借口的時候倒是巧舌如簧，以你這般心性，就算僥幸突破煉氣，日後也再難精進。煉氣尚可靠凝氣丹，築基、金丹又要如何？難道次次都要靠丹藥嗎？哪裏會有這樣的上品丹師常年供你差使？”
戰沉明皺起了眉頭。
二師兄這話說得也太過了。
修仙之途本就是逆天而行，艱險困苦、舉步維艱才是常态。
二師兄這般言論，實在是有些居高臨下、傲氣淩人了。
果然，南妄眼神一顫，身形晃動。
戰沉明不忍心見南妄受此打擊，冒着挑釁楚松屏的風險開口道：“二師兄此言……”
【天哪，二師兄居然我能突破煉氣，他也太相信我了吧！】
戰沉明：“？”
【嗚嗚嗚他還為我以後考慮，我這輩子能煉氣都是祖上積德，哪兒敢想什麽築基金丹啊？】
【二師兄真好，傲嬌永不過時！】
戰沉明：“……”
南妄收回思緒，心口一致地說道：“師弟謹記二師兄教誨！”
看着南妄真誠的目光，楚松屏臉上微微一紅：“你，你這油嘴滑舌的家夥，罷了，今日之事就……”
“師兄。”
一道陌生的聲音突然加入了衆人的對話。
三人一齊回頭看向來人，心情各不相同。
南妄是好奇，戰沉明是奇怪，楚松屏則是不滿。
——二師兄發了話讓所有弟子離開，居然還有人敢硬闖弟子堂？
——哪來的愣頭青啊，二師兄的話都敢不聽，以為自己是杜雪泠啊？
戰沉明站的位置比較靠近門，所以率先看見了來人。
年紀不大，少年人的模樣，膚色黝黑，看着還挺淳樸老實的。
他的身上穿着內門弟子的弟子服，這套弟子服戰沉明倒是眼熟得很，但穿着衣服的人卻陌生極了，戰沉明從沒見過。
按理說，就算是其他分宗的弟子，戰沉明也該在各種大會上見過一兩次才對，但這人……戰沉明翻遍了自己的記憶，确實是毫無印象。
楚松屏見到來人，臉色大變，怒吼道：“誰讓你出宗的！”
那人絲毫不懼怕楚松屏，似是委屈似是撒嬌地說道：“我見師兄久久不歸，還以為出了什麽事，所以就擅自來找師兄了，對不起，我只是太擔心師兄了……”
南妄眼睛都看直了。
他看的不是那個人，而是那人身後的無數……兔子。
好多好多兔子。
蹦蹦跳跳地跟在那人身邊，随着那人走向楚松屏的步伐，一同邁過門檻，進入弟子院，仿佛一只只迷路了的小精靈。
小精靈們進來了以後也不亂蹿，就安安靜靜地待在原地，用一雙雙可可愛愛的大眼睛盯着那人看，好似在求抱抱一樣。
南妄羨慕得牙都酸了。
他還以為他能蹭到一只安諾已經是天賦異禀了，沒想到居然有人能勾引那麽多兔子！
聽說過吸貓體質，沒想到這世上竟然還有吸兔體質！
太強了吧，這人難道是兔兔精轉世嗎？
有一只傻乎乎的兔兔走得快了些，撞到了南妄腳邊。
南妄邪笑着提溜起自投羅網的兔兔，塞給兔兔一塊他随身攜帶的胡蘿蔔餅。
兔兔歪着腦袋看看南妄，迷惑地低下頭，啃了一口胡蘿蔔餅。
入口綿軟香甜的味道瞬間讓兔兔忘記了自己的職責，一口一口吃了起來，被南妄趁機埋臉吸了好幾口。
“哼哼，天底下沒有免費的午餐，吃了我的胡蘿蔔餅，就要給我摸肚肚……”
南妄這兒一人一兔氣氛和諧，和其他人形成了鮮明對比。
畢竟，看見兔子的不止是南妄，但是，不知道兔子在青雲門到底意味着什麽的，只有南妄一個。
戰沉明擡手壓住突然現身的紅纓銀槍，沉默地看向楚松屏。
楚松屏手中出現一把奇形怪狀的法器，語氣幹澀地說道：“青涯是我的故交，我為他作保。”
戰沉明：“你？”
一聲尾調帶着疑惑與質疑的“你”。
你？
你來作保？
你拿什麽作保？
——是偷偷套在那人身上的、自己曾經在內門時期穿過的弟子服，還是那雙顯然并非人族能擁有的異色雙眸？
老實說，戰沉明并沒有影射楚松屏身份的意思，他壓根不是那種口蜜腹劍的人。
但說者無心，聽者，有意。
不規則形狀的法器如黏土般緩緩塑形，逐漸化成一副羅盤模樣。
楚松屏被觸怒了。
戰沉明雖自知不是對手，但在大是大非面前也絕不退讓，手中紅纓槍輕輕顫抖，仿佛已做好準備迎來一場惡戰。
下一秒——
【什麽青涯，不會是那個早就死了八百年、又被女主白芙塗穢土轉生起來的楚青涯吧？】
戰沉明：“……”
這熟悉的感覺，和大師兄那時候一樣！
好好好，天道好輪回，蒼天饒過誰！大師兄經歷過的事，二師兄一樣跑不掉！
戰沉明收起紅纓槍，好整以暇地抱起肩膀，開始看戲。
楚松屏身形一顫，懷疑自己出現了幻聽。
什麽死了？誰死了？
楚青涯……已經死了？
一旁的楚青涯絲毫沒有察覺到異常，動作親昵地挽住了楚松屏的手臂。
“師兄不會真的怪我吧，好吧好吧，我以後再也不出門了，這樣總行了吧？”
楚松屏在心中瘋狂否認剛才聽見的話，但他的動作、他的目光、他的神色卻無一不在出賣他。
羅盤失去了形狀，重新化成不規則的煙沙。
“哈哈哈，看來我來得正是時候。”
杜雪泠不知道什麽時候突然出現在戰沉明身邊，她的身旁還跟着法宗長老顏槐。
戰沉明仿佛見到了主心骨一般松了一口氣，随後不滿地說道：“大師姐，您這也來得也太晚了，二師兄羅盤都掏出來了，您再晚點來，就只能給我收屍了。”
“呸呸呸，什麽收屍不收屍的，晦氣晦氣！”
杜雪泠一巴掌拍到戰沉明後背上，接着又毫不收力地拍了好幾下。
戰沉明就這麽站在原地任由她拍，鐵桶般的身軀不動如山。
杜雪泠解釋道：“我來得晚是因為我叫救兵去了，看看這是誰，我宗唯一的長老！有顏長老坐鎮，料他楚松屏也掀不起什麽風浪。”
杜雪泠三言兩語間就給顏槐戴了頂高帽子，随後裝作一副剛發現楚青涯的樣子，對着顏槐驚嘆道：
“哎呀，怎麽這麽多兔子呀，顏長老，你們這法宗真是有意思，居然還藏着這麽個人呢……”
顏槐本就被眼前的景象氣得說不出話來，再被杜雪泠這不冷不熱地一激，當場便發了作：
“楚松屏你這孽障！看我今天不打死你！”
“顏長老冷靜，冷靜啊！”
戰沉明頭都大了，一邊拉住顏槐，防止他真的對楚松屏動手，一邊譴責地看向杜雪泠：“大師姐你快說點什麽啊！”
杜雪泠火上澆油道：“您就是打得太晚了，才慣得他這樣無法無天！”
戰沉明：“……”
南妄目前還沒有傳承道劍宗一脈的看熱鬧不嫌事大，他見情況确實在朝着不對的方向發展，趕緊幫着楚松屏說話：
“長老您別激動，二師兄他心性單純，故意穿成這樣就是想吸引您的注意，讓您哄哄他而已，并非存着壞心。”
直到此刻，南妄依然不知道顏槐大發雷霆的原因是看到了楚青涯身邊的兔子，他還以為顏槐是被楚松屏那衣冠不整的模樣給氣到了呢。
雖然以他現代人的角度來看，二師兄的穿着并沒有什麽問題，但是以修仙人士的角度來看，二師兄這領口大開的模樣或許是過于放蕩了些。
尤其這青雲宗還是規矩森嚴的名門正派，長老見不得弟子特立獨行的樣子，也是正常。
顏槐聽到南妄的話，熊熊燃燒的怒火都在震驚之下停滞了片刻。
他看了看對南妄的話一點都不意外的杜雪泠和戰沉明，又轉頭看向南妄：“你是？”
“我？我就是個外門弟子，我上課睡着了，被二師兄留堂了，嘿嘿。”
南妄憨憨地摸了摸後腦勺，這會兒倒是肯承認自己睡着了。
顏槐人不傻，反而聰明得很，南妄這聲音他又早就聽過，瞬間便大徹大悟了過來：“原來是你！”
“？”
什麽原來是他？他很有名嗎？
是……經常在二師兄課上睡覺的那種有名嗎？
南妄不解地笑笑，但是見長老沒有繼續說，也就沒敢多問。
正巧此時，楚青涯或許是見到了這麽多人有些害怕，瑟縮着躲到楚松屏身後，可憐兮兮地說道：“師兄，他們都是誰啊，看着好吓人……”
于是南妄的目光順勢落到楚青涯身上，心中情不自禁地閃過大量相關劇情。
【這人就是楚青涯啊，看着本本份份，平平無奇的，誰能想到他竟然是白芙塗操縱的傀儡呢？】
【當年楚家村連年旱災，要燒死二師兄祭天，楚青涯為了救二師兄，被暴怒的村民活活打死，二師兄因此魔氣失控，引來妖魔屠村，自己卻因禍得福被青雲宗長老救下。】
【二師兄體質特殊，心性又不成熟，無法承受不堪的過往，于是劍宗長老們聯手封印了他的記憶，助他舍棄過去，穩穩當當地踏上修仙之途。】
【白芙塗意外得知了二師兄的身世後，以尾換命，複活楚青涯投奔二師兄，利用二師兄記憶不全這一點，将青雲宗篡改成屠村的惡徒，又把自己說成僥幸逃脫後被魔宗收養的受害者，引得二師兄與宗門離心，最終更是被心魔侵占，叛宗堕魔。】
【楚青涯複活以後的性格和以前完全不同，完全就是被白芙塗操縱的傀儡，二師兄要是認真辨別，早就該發現端倪了，可惜他被沉重的報恩心理裹挾得太深，一直不肯承認現實，最終才會釀成悲劇。】
南妄這一陷入回憶，在場的人除了楚青涯外，全都如被按了暫停鍵一樣停在了原地。
生氣的也不生氣了，勸架的也不勸架了，一個個都豎起耳朵聆聽南妄的心聲，一個字都不敢錯過。
Chu Songping was as stiff as a stone, his face was blue, red, and white, like an overturned palette.
It was him, his memory was flawed, so he believed Chu Qingya's words without a doubt.
It was also him who, knowing that Chu Qingya's identity was different, still forged an identity for Chu Qingya and kept him in the sect.
Moreover, he was afraid that Chu Qingya would not be able to escape the eyes of the Sect Master, so he specifically instructed Chu Qingya not to step out of the Dharma Sect.
In the end, he was indeed persuaded by Chu Qingya and believed that Qingyun Sect had ulterior motives in adopting him. So he tested Yan Huai while reading books to find a way to unlock the memory seal.
Du Xueling couldn't help but sigh in her heart when she saw Chu Songping's distraught look.
Chu Songping entered the sect at the age of six and was raised by Yan Huai. Yan Huai treated him like his own son. Not only did he never criticize him, but he even spoiled him so much that he had such a cat-disliked-dog temper.
Raised before birth, the gratitude can never be repaid in a hundred lifetimes. Even if Qingyun Sect and Yan Huai do not deserve to be described as a debt of gratitude as heavy as a mountain, they at least deserve to be described as having never let Chu Songping down.
If Chu Songping had doubts about the seal of his memory, he could just ask the elders about his past. What's the point of secretly conspiring with outsiders?
Chu Qingya has done him a favor, but Yan Huai has not done him any favor?
Qingyun Sect raised him since he was a child. Could it be that they still feel guilty towards him?
Du Xueling turned to look at Yan Huai, with a look of reproach and sympathy in her eyes: "Elder Yan, look at this..."
Yan Huai looked like he had aged ten years, and his back seemed to be hunched.
He looked in the direction of Chu Songping, and met Chu Songping's gaze, which seemed to be asking for help.
Yan Huai waited for two seconds and saw panic, confusion, and fear in Chu Songping's eyes, but no intention of refutation or explanation. The last hope in his heart immediately disappeared.
He looked away in disappointment and said to Du Xueling, "I am a poor disciple and have made a fool of myself. When the other elders return, I will ask the Immortal Master to resign as the inner sect elder."
"ah???"
Nan Wang was the first to scream in surprise.
I didn't expect Elder Yan to be so old-fashioned. He wanted to resign from the position of elder just because he saw Second Senior Brother wearing a shabby outfit.
Isn't this too exaggerated?
Although Du Xueling likes to watch the excitement, but when it comes to the critical moment, she can still distinguish the importance of things: "Elder Yan, you are joking. How can such a small matter..."
Yan Huai interrupted Du Xueling and said, "I have made up my mind."
"Master...?"
Chu Songping finally realized that something bad had happened. His eyes of different colors sparkled and he looked pitiful and helpless, as if he had turned back into the little child that Yan Huai had rescued from purgatory on earth.
Under normal circumstances, seeing him like this, Yan Huai would have softened his heart and let him do as he pleased, but this time, he hardened his heart.
Yan Huai said: "Song Ping, our relationship as master and disciple ends here."
Chu Songping's lips trembled, but he couldn't utter the word "no".
Under the strong stimulation, the memory seal, which was already somewhat loose, began to crack.
The memory of being treated like an animal as a child began to flood into his mind, and then... he saw a sea of fire.
Someone untied the ropes that bound him and pushed him into the blazing fire, but he himself was pierced through the hands and feet by countless harpoons and remained in the flames forever.
Yeah...how could he forget?
Chu Qingya is dead.
He had lost Chu Qingya a long time ago, and now, he was about to lose even his master.
The master doesn't want him anymore...
Chu Songping's body shook violently twice, and he almost had to hold on to the pillar to stand steadily.
As my mind was shaking, a voice mixed with ridicule rang in my ears:
[It's okay. Elder Yan is a typical person who is tough on the outside but soft on the inside. In the later part of the original novel, even though the second senior brother betrayed the sect, Elder Yan did not sever ties with the second senior brother. He even fought hard and sent the second senior brother out of the sect. Now he just can't save face in front of everyone and has to speak a little more firmly. The second senior brother just needs to cry and apologize.]
Chu Songping: "..."
Yan Huai: “…”
Du Xueling: "Oh, this won't do. At least..."
Zhan Chenming grabbed Du Xueling and stopped her from speaking.
