Chapter 7 Cursed
After Master Pingyang lifted Shi Zelan onto the flying sword and made her stand steadily, he said, "I'll take you to the lecture hall. Do you know many words now?"
"Uncle Master, I can recite the Thousand Character Classic and the Analects, but I haven't learned the others yet."
After Shi Zelan stood firmly on the sword, she was in the mood to look down. The magnificent sight of the Yunyan Sect during the day made her exclaim in amazement.
"Uncle Master, where I live is quite far from the lecture hall. Will Master Wu pick me up from school in the future?"
Master Pingyang smiled without saying anything, but a hint of pity flashed in his eyes.
His master loved his granddaughter Shi Zelan, but he would never show mercy when it came to such big matters.
Two breaths later, they arrived at the lecture hall, and Taoist Pingyang carried Shi Zelan off the flying sword.
The sword suddenly returned to the scabbard.
Taoist Master Pingyang took Shi Zelan to meet the headmaster of the lecture hall, and she was taken on a tour of the lecture hall by the senior brother in charge arranged by the headmaster.
Inside the hall, the headmaster looked at Master Pingyang and said, "Brother Pingyang, does your master have any instructions?"
"none."
When Shi Zelan came back, the headmaster had already arranged her studies. She had just entered the lecture hall, so she naturally went to the literacy classroom to start her class.
Shi Zelan looked at the calm expression on Master Pingyang's face and respectfully agreed.
Taoist Master Pingyang took Shi Zelan back to the yard and gave her a jade bracelet.
"The books you need are all in this bracelet."
When Shi Zelan smiled and nodded, Master Pingyang had already grabbed her fingers and pinched them gently. The blood from her fingertips fell onto the bracelet and quickly merged into it.
Shi Zelan reached out and touched the bracelet curiously, and a pile of books poured out of it, and then the bracelet remained a bracelet.
Master Pingyang instructed Shi Bachun who was waiting on the side: "Talk to Lan Jie'er about some of the sect's rules, and send her to the lecture hall to study tomorrow."
"Yes." Shi Bachun nodded and agreed.
After Master Pingyang left, Shi Bachun whispered to Shi Zelan, "Sister Lan, according to the sect's rules, students can only walk to school before they can fly with a sword."
Shi Zelan nodded in understanding and looked at her own short legs again.
"Auntie, I have to get up early to go to school tomorrow."
"Eighth Aunt, where are Xiaoliu and the others? Are they going to school too?"
“The sect has accommodation for outer disciples, and they have settled down there safely. They can go to the sect’s outer disciple school to study.
Before they become inner disciples, they are not qualified to enter the lecture hall to study. ”
It was dark and Shi Zelan was walking on the road with his short legs. When it got light, Shi Zelan arrived at the door of the lecture hall with sweat all over his forehead.
Shi Bachun watched Shi Zelan enter the yard from outside, and then she reluctantly returned to the yard.
She now tried to fly with the sword, but after flying for a while, she had to stop and rest.
Shi Zelan and the teacher entered the classroom and were surprised to see the two empty rows in the front. Then they looked at the five rows of seats in the back that were filled with children.
The teacher pointed to the middle seat in the first row and said to Shi Zelan: "You will sit here 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 the noise outside.
On this day, Shi Zelan did not wait for other students in the first and second rows. Instead, she heard someone sitting in the back announce an unfriendly news to her.
The first two rows were filled with children between the ages of three and five, and Shi Zelan happened to be exactly five years old.
At 3 p.m., Shi Bachun came to pick up Shi Zelan. She asked with a smile, "Sister Lan, are the people sitting around you friendly to you?"
Shi Zelan thought for a moment and said, "That's good. They never came to class."
Shi Bachun understood immediately: "Sister Lan, by next year, you can sit in the third row."
Shi Zelan originally thought that literacy classes were very easy for her, but when the teacher taught them to study the "Book of Changes", she was stunned.
What the Master taught was different from most of what she had heard of the Book of Changes, and even had some differences from the Book of Changes prepared for her by Master Pingyang.
Shi Zelan quietly turned around and looked at the students in the back row. Seeing that they looked natural, she felt that she had made too much of a fuss.
One day, two days, three days, and a month passed, and the Master had begun to teach them how to meditate and enter a state of concentration.
March passed, and several students were missing from the literacy class again. They went to other classrooms to study. Shi Zelan became secretly anxious. When she was meditating, she could already feel the spiritual energy surrounding her.
However, the spiritual energy could not enter her body, while most of her classmates had entered the first stage of Qi Refining.
The headmaster asked Shi Zelan's teacher and after learning about Shi Zelan's situation, he said to the teacher, "Hide this matter."
"Headmaster, I'm afraid we can't cover it up. The children are young, and they will tell their elders at home that something is wrong with Shi Zelan.
Headmaster, I see that she is indeed a natural spiritual being. Why is it that she has practiced so hard but still cannot enter the door? ”
"Headmaster, was she secretly plotted against by a cultivator when she was in the mortal world?"
"Stop guessing, just do your part."
The weather was getting cold, and Master Feng Yuan met 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 herself, and asked: "Grandmaster, we have the same cultivation method, why can't the spiritual energy enter my body?"
"You are just a little short of the opportunity. Keep practicing. 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. Once they find a way, they will naturally come back."
After Shi Zelan left, Master Pingyang came out from the side hall and looked at Master Fengyuan: "Master, Sister Lan's situation is very strange. It seems like someone has plotted against her."
Feng Yuan Zhenjun glanced at him and said, "Since you know about this, you can check what happened three years before and after Lan Jie'er was born when you have time."
"Master, what you mean is that someone was plotting against Lan Jie'er's mother when she was pregnant with her?
It's impossible. Junior Brother Beichen is such a smart person, how could he let someone close to him be ambushed? ”
"If they can come back now, maybe we can find out from them why Sister Lan was cursed and plotted against."
"Master, the children are ignorant. If Sister Lan can't enter the first stage of Qi Refining, I'm afraid they will bully her."
"Pingyang, in her situation, she has to put in more effort and go through more hardships than others.
If she can get through this, her future achievements will not be worse than Beichen.
Think about our first peak master. He encountered more things than what Lan Jie encountered today. ”
"Master, what you mean is that the Shi family has a strong spirit in their bones, and they will become stronger when facing strong opponents?"
True Lord Feng Yuan spoke to True Man Ping Yang because of his concern for Shi Zelan, and he nodded in agreement.
