I am also angry with Master today

Chen Nianbai couldn't eat or sleep well for dozens of days.

Now she just begs Gu Zhen not to take her on the road alone, it's better to go with Chen Changyin, Lu Lan and Lu Qing, she doesn't want to face Gu Zhen alone.

It was raining lightly today, and Chen Nianbai was still cleaning outside the hall. This was her last day of hard work, and she was going to Beihai with Master tomorrow.

Moreover, Gu Zhen already believed that Qing Ming had something to do with her, so she asked Chen Changyin to whisper in her ear all day long: "Don't be attached to the world of mortals, pure hearted cultivation is the right way, children's love is not a big deal, but cutting off the roots of love is a big deal... "

But she doesn't even have an emotional person, what kind of love is she cutting off?

Nanling Mountain's gate rules are really strict, there are a lot of rules and regulations, Chen Nianbai will still make mistakes even if he is careful, and Gu Zhen never protects his weaknesses, so she has suffered a lot, and look at the outstanding disciple Chen Changyin, apart from eating and sleeping, he is doing exercises every day , practice, practice.

When the master ascends, he will probably be the next generation head.

"Don't make your master angry along the way." Liu Xian deliberately came to Chen Nianbai to have a heart-to-heart talk the night before departure.

"How dare Nianbai make Master angry." Chen Nianbai quickly replied.

"Although Gu Zhen is strict with you, she will definitely not harm you." Liu Xian thought about this point very clearly, "She has been away from Nanling Mountain for several months, and this time she is going to Beihai again, it must be not just you. .”

Chen Nianbai's heart skipped a beat when she saw her, "Elder, you mean... Master actually took me along the way?"

Liuxian smiled slightly, "I didn't say that."

Chen Nianbai felt chills for a while, how old people like to play tricks, even Gu Zhen is fine, with a peerless skin and exquisite heart, now even Liuxian can hide half of it and say half of it.

"Elder, I have a question." Chen Nianbai sat down, poured a cup of hot tea for Liu Xian, with a scent of sweet-scented osmanthus drifting from the tip of his nose, he smiled: "I'm very confused, I've been following Master since I can remember, Can you tell me why Master accepted me back then?"

Liuxian stayed in Nanling Mountain for so many years, Chen Nianbai didn't believe that she didn't know about it.

Liuxian frowned, and thought about it carefully, "In this way, you have indeed been accepted as an apprentice by Gu Zhen since you were five years old."

"That's right." Chen Nianbai hurriedly borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, "I've been watching Master accept apprentices since I was a child, and as her first apprentice, I also want to know how I got into her sect."

"Then do you know that your master has two rules for accepting apprentices?" Liu Xian raised the teacup and took a sip of hot tea.

"I know that there are no relatives and no reason. The master only accepts lonely people as disciples, and those whose parents are still alive, no matter how talented they are, they will not be accepted as disciples."

"That's what happened." Liu Xian blinked, "So you understand."

Chen Nianbai scratched the side of his face, and answered honestly: "I don't understand."

"Well, to put it bluntly, it depends on who is pleasing to the eye and accepts whom."

Liuxian couldn't help shaking his head, as expected, this kid was very stupid.

"Think about it, you've heard about Xu Shixing, right? In winter, I knelt in front of Gu Zhen's door for two days and two nights, and the snow didn't even reach my knees. I felt sorry for that child, but your master said If you say that, they will be sent away."

"What did she say?"

"If you don't have a heart, don't accept it." Liuxian said.

is a cruel man.

Chen Nianbai was convinced.

"Then she accepted you as her disciple the next day."

Chen Nianbai was dumbfounded, no wonder, Xu Shixing used to love to make trouble for her, so there was such a relationship.

Master, Master, if you said you would accept me, why did you accept me after rejecting Xu Shixing? Didn't this embarrass her on purpose?

"So Master thinks that I am destined to be with her?" Chen Nianbai felt a little complacent when thinking of this, it seems that she is not useless, at least she has an eye for Master.

"It's fate or not, so I have the final say, it's useless for me to say..." Liuxian was quite happy to see Chen Nianbai, and swallowed the last sentence "Actually, I also think your master has misunderstood".

"There must be fate, otherwise Master would not accept me." When Chen Nianbai smiled, there were two shallow dimples on his cheeks.

Liuxian pursed her lips thoughtfully, "If there is a destiny, the ones who are most destined for her should be Chen Changyin and..." The words came to an abrupt end.

"Huh? With whom, elder."

"It's nothing, I remembered it wrong." Liu Xian waved his hand, and said in a warm voice, "Chen Changyin is the only one."

For some reason, when Chen Nianbai heard Liu Xian commenting on Chen Changyin like this, he felt inexplicably sour, "I know that my junior sister is good at martial arts and is very popular with Master, but why do you say she is the most destined?"

"Chang Yin is not only good at martial arts, but also the one who learns mental skills the fastest." Liu Xian narrowed his eyes slightly, as if recalling the past, "The Twelve Swords of the Cold Cicada are difficult to learn, they are the sword skills created by your master Once there was a catastrophe in Nanling Mountain. At that time, it was on the occasion of the catastrophe of human monsters. As long as they escaped the catastrophe, they would have a chance to ascend to the God Realm. Gu Zhen was one of them, but Nanling Mountain happened at this time Encountering a monster attack, Gu Zhen and several elders swore to protect Nanling Mountain, the battle lasted for five days and five nights, and the thunder crashed down, Gu Zhen was also seriously injured in this battle."

"Gu Zhen's sword skills frightened the demons, but she did not escape the fire and thunder, and fell down on the sixth day."

"Then my master..."

"The injury is serious, and the meridian is almost broken." Liuxian put down the teacup, "But fortunately, he was rescued, so no one mentioned this matter again."

"Although the Twelve Swords of the Cold Cicada are the sword skills that every student in Nanling Mountain needs to learn, their skills vary in depth. So far, only Chen Changyin has learned half of it." Liu Xian didn't want the atmosphere to be so serious, so he smiled again, "You Master looking at Chang Yin is like looking at himself back then, do you think there is fate?"

Chen Nianbai was fascinated by the story and didn't answer for a long time.

"It's getting late, I should go back." Seeing that it was getting late, Liuxian talked so much with Chen Nianbai, hoping that she would really love her master, and the correct choice would be to avoid making her master angry.

"Elder, tomorrow... is it true that Master and I will go to Beihai together?" Chen Nianbai asked cautiously before sending Liu Xian away at the gate.

"Of course." Liuxian smiled kindly.

Chen Nianbai burst into tears in his heart.

That night Chen Nianbai didn't sleep well, or she didn't sleep at all, tossing and turning, Chen Nianbai put on his unlined clothes, ready to go out to get some air.

The night was very cold, the wind was bone-chilling, it happened that it was raining again today, Chen Nianbai felt a little shivering even though he put on some clothes.

There is an ancient well in Nanling Mountain, which has been dry all year round. Chen Nianbai went there to play before. She and a few junior sisters threw stones down the well, but they didn't hear a "plop", so they realized that the ancient well was bottomless and there was no water.

Chen Nianbai tightened her clothes, and walked forward to the back of Nanling Mountain. She thought for a while, Nanling Mountain was protected by several elders, and it was almost impossible for monsters to sneak up the mountain, so she walked forward boldly.

He stepped on a branch with a "stab" sound, which was especially harsh at night and shocked Chen Nianbai.

"Who is where?" A cold voice floated from the front.

Apart from her being unable to sleep at night, is there anyone else?

Chen Nianbai was startled, just raised her head, suddenly there was a gust of wind, the thousands of fiery red weeds in Nanling Mountain grew wildly like a demon, a few weeds crawled to the soles of her shoes, finger-thick vines entangled her crotch The calf, instantly tore her down!

Chen Nianbai was unarmed, she struggled to pull the plants, but the pull became tighter and tighter, as if to drag her into the woods.

Suddenly, the sound of a silver sword being unsheathed rang in my ears, and a sword with a scarlet tail came in a whirlwind, cutting off the vines pulling Chen Nianbai's calf.

A white hand stretched out from his side, holding Chen Nianbai, Chen Nianbai thought it was a ghost, screamed for help and wanted to escape, when a familiar and cold voice came from his ear: "Don't shout anymore."

Master... Master?

Chen Nianbai was stunned.

Gu Zhen's complexion was not good-looking, under the slender eyelashes was a pair of dizzy clear eyes, she grabbed Chen Nianbai's waist and protected her by her side, stretched out her fair five fingers, a fire glowed from the palm of her hand .

The Han Chan sword recognized its owner, shook the vines a few times, and immediately split the vines wrapped around the sword and flew back to Zhen Zhen's palm. Gu Zhen muttered something and made an unknown formation. Go back the way you came.

Chen Nianbai was still in a daze, while Gu Zhen was looking down anxiously for what she wanted. She fixed her eyes and found that the plant was among the weeds. She immediately bent down and rushed into the darkness, stretched out her hand, picked the grass, turned around, and landed on the ground in one go.

Chen Nianbai was dumbfounded, and when Gu Zhen put her on the ground properly, her legs were still a little weak.

"Master, Master..."

Gu Zhen looked at the fiery red Qiu Qiuluo, a treasure that grows once a year, almost being mistreated by this brat.

"It's windy, let's go back." Gu Zhen didn't say much, and didn't explain the meaning of the incident just now. She put away Jian Qiuluo and prepared to leave with her hands behind her back.

"Master, what happened just now?" Chen Nianbai quickly followed Gu Zhen, fearing that he would run into any trouble again, "How could there be such a strange grass in Nanling Mountain..."

"Leaving tomorrow, why don't you go back to sleep now?" Gu Zhen didn't answer her question, her expression was not happy.

"It's not that I couldn't sleep, so I just came out for a walk, Master, that grass just now..."

"It's useless to talk any more, and I will personally escort you back as a teacher."

"No, no, don't bother Master, I'll go back right away." Chen Nianbai immediately stopped asking, and bowed to the Living Buddha in front of him, "The disciple has gone back."

Gu Zhen stood at the same place, Chen Nianbai ran away in a hurry, the Han Chan sword trembled in her hand, red blood dripped down from Xue Bai's wrist, and slid a thin line, staining the blade red.

When Chen Nianbai was rescued just now, she was cut off by a strange weed, but it didn't hurt, the numbness was real.

Gu Zhen looked at the crescent moon in the sky, and tightly squeezed the autumn radishes in her hands.

Suddenly, she sighed in the cold night, shook her head, turned around and flew back to Lingqing Palace.
