After Zhou Tian's request was rejected by his master, he felt very depressed and stayed in his room.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhou Tian came to Lanxi Water Pavilion alone and sat on the steps of the water pavilion for a long time. At this time, Su Xinghe ran over and said, "Huh? Zhou Tian, ​​you have never been to Lanxi Water Pavilion. Why did you suddenly appear here today?"

?”

Zhou Tian raised his head and glanced at him without any interest. He was not holding a plate this time, but he looked smaller and smaller. He didn't know if it was because of his own vision problems or because Su Xinghe bent down intentionally.

I saw Su Xinghe bending down to pick up a stone on the ground and throw it over.

Zhou Tian did not dodge, and the stone fell into his arms. He said casually: "It has been so long since I came to the academy, but I have never been to Lanxi Water Pavilion, a secluded place in the back mountain. I just came here to sit and feel that it is quiet and profound.

, it’s just suitable for thinking.”

After hearing this, Su Xinghe sat next to him with great interest, looked at his deep and dull eyes and smiled: "Thirteen, you have been so melancholy since you came to the academy. I don't know why you are.

In this way, we will go to the sect for martial arts competition soon, and our academy is also working hard to practice. Don't you want to meet people from Xuantian Sect? This is the best opportunity."

Su Xinghe was playing with the stones in his hands while talking, but Zhou Tian, ​​who was listening, suddenly became interested.

"Yes, how many days are left until the sect martial arts competition?"

"Ah... I calculated, there should be four or five days left."

Su Xinghe said disapprovingly: "You and the other brothers are better than me in cultivation. I will not participate this year, and I will concentrate on cooking for the Master."

Su Xinghe shook his head with a smile on his face. It seemed that he didn't attach much importance to this competition. Zhou Tian looked at him curiously: "Isn't it that you come to the academy to practice to be able to stand out one day, for yourself and for the world?"

Unfair, why do you think so? Thinking back to the time when Lao Xu and I first came to the academy, you were the first to block my way. Why can't I see the high spirits I had at that time?"

Zhou Tian comforted Su Xinghe instead, but Su Xinghe smiled politely: "Haha, at this moment, my brother is the most important thing in our Su family. Forget it, if I don't talk about it, you won't understand.

Yes, I can see that you attach great importance to this martial arts competition, so you should go to the martial arts training ground to compete with your senior brothers now, why are you in the Lanxi Waterside Pavilion in this secluded place in the back mountain?"

Zhou Tian rubbed his palms and lowered his head and said: "I still miss Youyou more or less. Youyou and I have never been separated since we were young. When we came to the academy this time, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and we are somewhat worried about you. Moreover, Xuantian Sect seems to have changed now."

It’s very big, but as a member of the Xuantian Sect, I still feel a little uneasy, so I come here to be quiet.”

After that, Zhou Tian stood up, looked at Su Xinghe who was sitting next to him, stretched out and said: "There are many thunderstorms in May, so you should go back early. Since the competition is about to start, I will go over and take a look.

"

Su Xinghe also stood up and raised his eyes to look at the sky. It was extremely clear. May seemed to be nothing new in the academy today. Maybe he would feel a different atmosphere only when he went outside the academy. He turned around in boredom.

Look at the waterside pavilion. Although the Lanxi Waterside Pavilion is called a secluded place in the back mountain, there are hidden mysteries inside.

"You're really leaving? Why don't you go in and take a look? There's a whole other world in this waterside pavilion."

Su Xinghe talked to Zhou Tian with appetite, and Zhou Tian turned his head halfway to look at the waterside pavilion behind him and smiled: "This? Isn't this a place for meditation? I don't want to go in and meditate and then fall into a dream and illusion.

I talked to that boring Mr. Su, if you want to go in, you can go in, I will go to the martial arts training ground now!"

After that, he was about to leave, but Su Xinghe grabbed his hand.

"There is a secret book of exercises here. I heard that only people with Qi King level and above are qualified to practice it. Do you really not want to take a look? The whole academy knows this. It's just that my level is not high enough, otherwise I would have learned it long ago.

, I have to go in and take a look every time I come here. This time I saw you here, I thought you knew."

What Su Xinghe said made Zhou Tian a little curious and his eyes moved.

"You mean this Lanxi Waterside Pavilion is a place for practicing martial arts?" Zhou Tian said as he walked up the steps.

After walking up to the platform, he took a look into the depths of the waterside pavilion behind him.

"Yes, there are thousands of kinds of exercises in the academy. The Qi of Mind that Master told you is just one of them, and the exercises in this waterside pavilion are another."

Zhou Tian nodded when he saw the serious look on his face, and then walked in.

After entering, he didn't feel any different. Su Xinghe, who was following closely behind, said softly: "Very few people come to this waterside pavilion. Except for senior brothers with the Qi King level, no one else has ever been here."

Zhou Tian looked around and saw that there was no difference. The only difference was that this water pavilion did not stir the water wheel of the spring.

He glanced around and found nothing strange, but saw a dusty blue book on a table.

There were spider webs hanging on it and thick dust. He stepped forward and took it in his hand and patted it with his hands.

Ahem!

"What is this? Such thick gray!"

Zhou Tian was choked by the dust and coughed.

"This is the secret book I just mentioned. Open it and take a look!" Su Xinghe seemed to be intentionally guiding him to open the book. Zhou Tian was naturally smart. Not only did he have well-developed five senses, he was also very capable of seeing things. He used his peripheral vision to see things.

Looking at Su Xinghe's eyes, it seemed that this was the first time he had seen it, and it was not like he had known it before.

"Why are you more nervous than me? Didn't you know this before?"

Zhou Tian looked at Su Xinghe with a suspicious face, then slowly put the book back to its original position and asked: "It seems that this book does not want to be seen by others, or no one has been to this waterside pavilion at all, Eighth Senior Brother,

What on earth do you want me to do? Why is it so mysterious? Just when I was about to walk to the martial arts field, you pulled me with all your strength. Now when I come in, you lead me to this book. What on earth happened to make you

It’s so weird today.”

Zhou Tian felt more and more that Su Xinghe was not very normal today. In the past, he happily introduced his new cuisine, but today he was so serious and even advised Zhou Tian to practice hard.

Su Xinghe looked around with excited eyes and whispered: "Thirteen, you have misunderstood. Indeed, you guessed it right. I don't know what this is. I have wanted to read this book for a long time, but there is no one in the academy except

Senior brothers and masters who are above the Qi King realm cannot be picked up by others!"

Hearing what Su Xinghe said, Zhou Tian shook his head and didn't believe it at all. He pointed at the book and looked at Su Xinghe dubiously: "Why don't I believe it?"

Su Xinghe had no choice but to go forward to get the book. But to Zhou Tian's surprise, he saw that Su Xinghe had used all his strength, even with his veins protruding, to be unable to pick up the book. It seemed that what he said was right.

Zhou Tian became more and more interested. He picked up the book and saw that Su Xinghe was sweating profusely and the gown on his body was soaked through.

"Is this book really that weird?"

As Zhou Tian spoke, he started to read through it. Although the text inside was very simple and easy to understand, the text had no connection with each other. It looked very strange. It didn't look like a book at all, but a mess.

Made up of words.

Zhou Tian threw the book on the table, but what surprised him again was that after the book was thrown on the table, it suddenly returned to its original position.

This actually frightened Zhou Tian. Could it be that there really are ghosts and gods in this world?

Zhou Tian certainly didn't believe this. He frowned and looked at Su Xinghe beside him: "What is this? It's so evil!"

After that, Zhou Tian picked up the book again and flipped through it for the second time. This time, Zhou Tian was completely stunned. His mouth grew very big and his pupils gradually became larger. He turned his head and said to Su Xinghe

, look! Every time you read this book, the content inside is different.

Su Xinghe stepped forward and looked behind Zhou Tian, ​​but didn't see anything. He pointed at the book and said curiously: "Thirteen, I can't see any words in this book! This is obviously a blank sheet of paper!

"

Zhou Tian didn't know what he was talking about, so he continued to flip through it, but the words were still strange and he couldn't understand them at all, so he flipped through them quickly.

Suddenly Zhou Tian discovered a strange thing. The faster he flipped through the book, the clearer it appeared. It seemed to be a few interruptions.

He carefully read through it quickly a dozen times, then put the book back, closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on the ground.

Su Xinghe took a look and asked quickly: "What's wrong? Thirteen!"

Zhou Tian closed his eyes and said slowly: "Eighth Senior Brother, go out and wait for me. I should have understood the secrets in this book just now. Let me see if I can understand it."

Su Xinghe thought for a moment, nodded and said softly: "Okay, then I won't disturb you, I'll wait for you on the steps outside!"

So he hurried out.

Zhou Tian continued to meditate quietly, but what surprised him was that he did not fall into a dream and fantasy this time, but remained in reality.

He thought to himself that this should be because his concentration was gradually getting stronger.

At this moment, the few interruptions he had just seen suddenly appeared in his mind. It turned out that they were really cultivation techniques, but the moves of the characters in the interruptions were a little weird and abnormal. He didn't know what these were, so he used his consciousness to follow them.

I started practicing the movements inside...

"Laoba, what are you doing here? If you don't go to the martial arts training ground to practice, why are you here at Lanxi Water Pavilion?"

Su Xinghe looked up and saw the old seventh king Ranran, and said hurriedly: "It's nothing, I just came to sit down if I have nothing to do. You are all Qi Kings. This year's competition has nothing to do with me. I don't want to participate at all. It's you, you come here

what?"

Wang Ranran took out the chessboard behind him, raised his eyebrows and said, "Lanxi Water Pavilion is the quietest place to play chess. Of course I'm here to play chess. How about it? You play a game with me?"

Wang Ranran looked at Su Xinghe provocatively, but Su Xinghe looked into the waterside pavilion from time to time.

"What are you looking at inside?"

Suddenly, a roar came from the waterside pavilion, surprising Su Xinghe and Wang Ranran.

"Is Zhou Tian in there?"

The Master suddenly appeared in front of them both, but Wang Ranran didn't know anything when he arrived and looked at the Master with an innocent face.

"It's...he...he's in there!"
