One person: I am standing behind you, but the whole Wei

In front of a small house deep in the ridge.

There are peach trees planted in twos and threes in front of the small courtyard. Some green peaches hang on the leaves, swaying precariously in the breeze.

The birds in the forest looked at the peaches, with a hint of longing in their eyes.

One of the birds couldn't help itself and slowly landed on the tree trunk, wanting to eat the peaches.

A bamboo pole came and the trunk of the whole peach tree shook, knocking down many leaves.

The breeze intentionally or unintentionally blew the fallen leaves on the ground slowly towards a corner, as if they were cleaning.

The bird on the tree was startled and quickly flapped its wings and flew out of the yard.

I saw an old man holding a bamboo pole in his mouth. He was lying very comfortably on a cool recliner, and he put the bamboo pole down lightly in his mouth.

The old man's hands and the front half of his legs were gone, leaving only the healed stumps.

The old man muttered softly:

"These birds usually feed you grains to prevent you from eating these peaches... Now, not only do they want the grains, they want to eat the peaches too."

The voice just fell.

A young man wearing a Taoist hat, about 1.5 meters tall, with freckles on his face, walked in slowly with a cup of tea, smiled and said respectfully:

"Master Tian, ​​why can't you be so kind to this bird?"

Tian Jinzhong stretched out his remaining arm to take the tea, took a sip and said:

"Hahaha! That won't do! These peach trees are what Senior Brother has been looking forward to for the whole year. We can't let these greedy birds destroy them."

The voice just fell.

"crunch..."

The wooden door of the yard slowly opened.

An old man in a Taoist robe walked in from the door, smiled and said:

"It's obviously you who wanted to eat it, don't put it on me."

Although I said this, I felt warm inside...

When Tian Jinzhong saw the visitor, he smiled and greeted him, saying:

"Brother, are you back? How is Lingyu doing? I heard that he said he had a breakthrough recently!"

Lingyu is truly worthy of being the most talented disciple that Senior Brother has accepted!

When I was his age, I was far from his level of accomplishment.

Lingyu has already reached the peak level of a second-rate master!

You know, in the records of the modern Chinese alien world, the fastest promoted first-class master was only 30 years old...

If my cultivation level was at the top level back then...

It shouldn't have such consequences, right?

Zhang Zhiwei heard this, smoothed his beard and said with a smile:

"It will be soon. When the Luotian Grand Ceremony comes, he should be able to be promoted smoothly."

Upon hearing this, Tian Jinzhong couldn't help but ask curiously:

"What on earth did Lingyu experience this time when he came down the mountain? It caused his character to change so much! I thought it would take some time for him to be promoted."

Lingyu is a child with too cold a character, and he treats many things with contempt.

A deep-seated thought of looking down upon...

Rather, it is light...

To be more precise, Lingyu is a little arrogant!

After all, among his peers, he can be said to be the ceiling.

after all...

How can a young man, a strong young man, be called a young man if he is not proud?

After coming down the mountain this time, he locked himself in the hut without saying a word and practiced endlessly!

In just a few days, his cultivation level has broken through repeatedly!

I wanted to go see him several times, but was rejected by my senior brother.

To say that this is a critical moment for Lingyu can only mean that Lingyu is in good condition now and there is no need to worry.

Zhang Zhiwei showed a complex emotion on his face. He waved his hand at Gong Qing and said:

"Xiao Qingzi, go back and rest first."

A hint of hidden alertness flashed across Gong Qing's eyes, but he immediately suppressed it.

Then he bowed slightly and said respectfully:

"Yes! Old Heavenly Master!"

After Gong Qing left, Tian Jinzhong stretched out lazily on the recliner without any image, looking like a naughty old boy.

Seeing this, Zhang Zhiwei couldn't help but smile and shook his head. Everything in Jinzhong is good...

It's just that I'm a little too pretentious in front of the younger generation.

As for yourself?

After knowing each other for decades, we already know everything about this matter, so there is nothing to hide.

Tian Jinzhong's curious voice came to my ears:

"Brother, tell me...what did Lingyu do when he came down the mountain this time?"

Zhang Zhiwei heard this and walked slowly into the house, turning his back to Tian Jinzhong and said:

"Let my junior brother tell the story, shall we?"

After these words came out, Tian Jinzhong's old face showed some confusion...

In our generation, except for the two of us, almost everyone else is dead?

Where did I find my junior brother?

"Da da da..."

There was a sound of heavy footsteps on the ground in the yard.

Tian Jinzhong heard the voice and looked over. When he saw the face of the person who came, he sat up from the recliner.

The broken arm could not help but tremble, and in the eye sockets there was a trace of water like the crescent lake, sparkling under the moonlight...

His slightly dry lips could not help but tremble, and he asked in a very hoarse and low voice:

"is it you?"

As he spoke, his whole body tilted slightly forward due to the emotional fluctuations, and his broken legs were not strong enough to support this force.

The whole person fell towards the ground, and when he was about to fall to the ground, a pair of old hands caught his body and put him back on the recliner.

Tian Jinzhong looked at the face so close to him, and the two broken back halves of his arms were crossed and grasped the collar of the man with great force.

It seems like she wants to grab him by the collar...

That dry mouth let out an extremely angry roar:

"Zhang Huaiyi! Is it really you?"

As he spoke, his excited words caused saliva to spurt everywhere, even onto Zhang Huaiyi's clothes.

Zhang Huaiyi nodded with great difficulty, and said with a very guilty tone:

"Brother...it's me...I'm back!"

When Tian Jinzhong heard this, a tear appeared in his clear eyes and quietly slid down his old skin.

The broken arms fell down slowly and weakly, and he sighed deeply...

There were no words.

Zhang Huaiyi lowered his head deeply and said with a very guilty voice:

"I'm sorry...Brother..."

"It's me! I caused you to lose your arms and legs!"

If I hadn't insisted on going down the mountain, my brother would never have become like this!

Even though his brother's hands and legs were chopped off, he did not reveal any information about his whereabouts...

When Tian Jinzhong heard this, a hint of anger rose in his clear eyes, and he shouted angrily:

"What I care about is my arms and legs!"

"Zhang Huaiyi!"

"Look me in the eyes!"

"Before going down the mountain!"

"What did you promise me?"

"What did you promise me?"

"What did you promise me?"

"what!"

Huaiyi doesn’t understand at all!

He still thinks that what I care about is...

It's my cultivation and body!

Zhang Huaiyi raised his head stiffly and saw the extremely angry old face...

A girl with pigtails appeared in my mind, behind my butt...

Shouting...wait for my beautiful girl...

There was infinite longing in his eyes, and his whole old face was covered with tears.

He said in a very hoarse voice:

"I'm sorry...I didn't protect Tian Tian well..."
