one of my alchemist friends

Come for lunch. "

"Brother." Bairan tugged at his sleeve with one hand, stood up with the other hand on the edge of the table, and pleaded in his tone, "Can you take me to see father?"

"You will only scold him if you go to see him like this."

"Then... I will walk slowly by myself."

"I'm afraid you're going to go until dark with your footsteps." Bai Ying reluctantly put his right arm on his shoulder, and held him firmly with his left hand, while urging, "I can't stop you if you insist on going. Just one thing, you must be cautious in your words and deeds when you go there, uncle is still ill and... very angry."

The maid outside the door saluted respectfully and opened the curtain for the two of them.

There was a smell of medicine from a distance, but the smell of medicine in the room was even worse, Bairan couldn't help frowning slightly: Father seems to be seriously ill.

He called out "Father" in a low voice, bowed and bowed, feeling top-heavy and unsteady for a moment, but he didn't dare to move.

"You still have the face to see me? Why, are you still waiting for me to give you a seat?" Bai Heng leaned lazily on the bed and said sullenly, his white paper-like face regained a little blood color, even if he usually has a heart hanging Let it go.

Bai Ying heard the meaning of the words, and hurriedly led Bai Ran to thank her and sit down.Unexpectedly, Bai Heng refused to let go: "When Shi Wan goes out, you——sit close and talk."

"Nephew requests..."

"Go back."

"Yes." Bai Ying had no choice but to bid farewell to her uncle honestly, she put her arms around Bai Ran's shoulders before leaving, and smiled apologetically.Bairan nodded slightly to show his understanding, walked to his father's bedside and sat down properly, waiting for instructions.

"Why are you still thinking about me, an old man..." Bai Heng squinted his eyes and looked at him carefully, um, he was thinner, and the words of concern changed from mouth to mouth, "Why are you here? If it's just to say hello , you can go back now."

"Father...the child is at fault, I hope father will forgive me." He knelt down reluctantly, and his body was very low.

Bai Heng seemed to be in high spirits, and said leisurely: "What's wrong with you, let's hear it."

"I'm not good at learning, and my father has to work hard to accompany me just going down the mountain to practice, this is one of them.

Interfering in things outside of duty without authorization, this is the second.

The third is to step forward to meet the enemy without self-sufficiency, which makes the family worry about getting tired. "

"Well. What else?"

Bairan raised his head suddenly, with a puzzled expression on his face: "I haven't thought of anything else yet, so I ask my father to enlighten me."

"Avoid the important and take the lightest! It seems that you don't realize where you are wrong." Bai Heng stood up and sat upright, his voice almost yelling: "Listing those three points is insignificant to me, but you have left out the biggest one. Wrong——The son of a dignified sect, who threw away his life at will for an outsider, how disrespectful and self-respecting you are, where are you going to put the Bai family, where are your grandfathers, where are your mothers, and me... Where is your old father!"

"Father, there is no value in human life. A child's life is his life. Isn't his life worth it?" Bai Ran knelt up straight, his face flushed sickly with anger, "I just paid my life for my life, and I paid it back." Kindness. You did that kind of thing behind my back... He shouldn't have sacrificed for me!"

Bai Heng was so angry that he raised his hand and slapped him, making him dazed, with a "buzzing" sound in his head.

"I don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the boy! That person gave his life for you out of kindness, and it is only natural for us to give birth to you and raise you? How many lives do you have, do you still have to come here?"

"I……"

"Your mother... died of exhaustion in order to give birth to you. Your grandfather instilled spiritual power in you for many years, and even transferred golden pills...your uncle...everyone in the family cared for you as you grew up..." Bai Heng sighed again and again. Shi Shi only felt panicked in his heart, so he lowered his tone, and said softly: "I don't say this to make you feel guilty, you have to understand that what they did for you is all out of their own choice, even if they lose their lives, there is no harm. No regrets. It's the same with Mo boy.

Saving you does not require you to sacrifice your life for atonement, just because you are more important than their lives.Be kind to the living and live well. "

"I was wrong...Father...I know my mistake..." Bai Ran folded her hands on Bai Heng's lap, buried her head deeply, and her shoulders trembled slightly, "But I can't let it go...I can't let it go, Dad ...what should I do...what can I do..."

Seeing this, Bai Heng couldn't bear it any longer, hugged him into his arms to comfort him and patted him, and murmured: "Don't be afraid, my dear. If you feel sad, you should cry a good time. You must cherish yourself, you are the only one left... ..."

After Bai Heng abdicated, after discussion with the elders in the sect, Bai Ying was the only one who was suitable for a virtuous elder.He shirked it on the grounds of his juniority, but in the end he couldn't resist several elders taking turns to persuade him, and under the title of "acting suzerain" he shared internal and external affairs with his younger brother Bai Nan.

After that, there will be several springs and autumns, and everything seems to be back to the original, but everyone has things that they don't want to mention in their hearts. Others don't know what they lost and how much they healed.

Years in the mountains seem to go slower than in the world, but only five years, it feels like half a lifetime has passed.During this period, the disciples of the Bai family changed one round, looking at those young and immature faces, Bairan was slightly lost in thought.Although he went up and down the mountain every day, he never stepped out of Cuiwang. He was obsessed with swordsmanship and planting flowers, and occasionally corrected his disciples' sword skills. In addition, he either sat in the room or had tea and chatted with his father.Leisure is extremely leisurely, but too much leisurely always makes him feel deeply at a loss: Did Mo Chengkong really exist?

He is nowhere to be found, and everywhere is him.

A few days ago, I sorted out old manuscripts and dug out a stack of transcriptions, and my memory flashed back to ten years ago in an instant.What kind of mentality did I have at that time, that I would worry about an irrelevant person, so worried that I would copy and punish him overnight.Because of a bowl of porridge?a flower?Or the occasional sincerity?Can not remember.I only know that as soon as I miss it, I miss it for so many years.

Angelica

"Why did Your Majesty come here... Could it be that you were not spared either?"

"Heh, how strong can you be if you are both a mortal body?"

"Your Majesty, is this going to be reincarnated?"

"Do not……"

……

"Well……"

There was a little light in the chaos, and a pair of black shadows swayed in the light.Mo Chengkong raised his eyelids, his mind seemed to be clearer: someone beside him was talking.But the sound of the conversation turned into the sound of a temple bell, which could not be lingered in my mind.

"Clang—clang—"

He suspected that he was about to be saved and ascended to heaven.

"Hey, it's moving again..." Gao Jian exclaimed.For the past five years, he has guarded the "living dead" in front of him almost every day, and he can't go home and dare not go back.When I went back the first year, I was caught and beaten, and I was locked in the room with multiple layers of locks to think about it. In the end, I escaped by pretending to be sick and dead.Originally, he didn't plan to stay here for too long, but he didn't know when his father's anger would disappear, so he hid for so many years.Just when Mo Chengkong, who had been lying dead for a long time, made a sound and moved his eyelids, how could he not be excited?

Zhou Yingque took his hand to check his pulse, said something strange in secret, and poured a spiritual power into Mo Chengkong's head to search carefully, then he understood, and laughed and scolded: "Everyone is vying to sacrifice themselves for others, and come and go Yes, what's the point?" Turning around, Gao Jian smirked, stretched out his hand and flicked his forehead, "Don't you want to send a letter to your master?"

Gao Jian was shocked, clapped his hands and said: "That's right! Thank you for reminding me, old man, I, I'll go right away..." Walking around the table and then coming back, "It's better that I go there myself, it's safer. "

"It's up to you." Zhou Yingque was amused by his headless appearance, raised his arms and stretched his waist, "Let's go after dinner. I'm in a good mood today and don't need to fast. Let's get dirty. "

At this time, Mo Chengkong groaned again.Gao Jian stepped forward to check, and he opened his eyes so unexpectedly, his eyes met each other, speechless for a while.

Gao Jian asked: "I was the one who saw it first, are you disappointed?"

Mo Chengkong said in a hoarse voice, "Who... are you?"

Gao Jian turned around with a puzzled expression, and Zhou Yingque mouthed to him: Don't be stupid!

Gao Jian understood, and stroked his head with a smile: "I am your father."

"I'll fuck you!" Mo Chengkong gritted his teeth and pushed him out.I wanted to tease him, but let this kid take advantage.

Gao Jian rolled around a few times and sat still: "Pretend to be pretending! I have a lot of strength, and I can push people!"

Seeing that Mo Chengkong was waving at him: "Come here, brat."

"Don't hit me?"

"I don't have the strength to beat you, come here."

Gao Jian cautiously and tentatively tried the past, but saw that Mo Chengkong had already burst into tears, and pulled him into his arms: "I never thought that we would see each other again... I didn't dare to think..."

Zhou Yingque pretended to be apprehensive: "Don't you miss Master?"

"Think about it!" Mo Chengkong offered him a hand.

Zhou Yingque smiled and held that hand: "It's good to be back, it's good to be back."

When spring comes, it is always rainy in the mountains.It is difficult to have a few days of sunshine in consecutive months. At least there will be a period of rain in the morning, and another period of rain in the evening.Although Bairan hasn't lived in Cuiwang for the past few years, he would wander around the foot of the mountain every morning to visit Liufeng and Huixue, who were fostered, and have breakfast along the way.Even in such a rainy season, he still walked back and forth tirelessly.Since talking to the owner that day, he had been longer and more silent in the tavern.

Today is no exception.He held up a bamboo bone umbrella and deliberately went back a long way.The drizzle is continuous and misty, the mountains are quiet, and the mood is peaceful.Unconsciously, I came to the side of the old pear tree. In late spring, a batch of pear blossoms withered, and another batch was dropped by the rain. Almost only the young leaves remained on the branches.And the peonies planted on the side are blooming lively, as bright and moving as fire.

Bairan stood under the tree, staring at the stream for a while before walking home.

Leng Yuxin Leng suzerain was a guest at home recently, and his father was already at odds with him, so he kept claiming that he was sick and let some of his juniors entertain him.Not only did Sect Master Leng not mind, he was also very enthusiastic, and often chatted with them late into the night.

Surprisingly no rain tonight.When Bairan returned to his room, the moon was shining brightly, the galaxy was vast and vast, and the night sky was very clean without a single cloud.
