I cross the cold pond

When the sky just dawned, Xu Ziru saw that Yan Qinghe seemed to be fast asleep, and left the small courtyard where Yan Qinghe lived with his hands in his hands.

He didn't go back to Tianjimen for six years, and he didn't see any particularly big changes in this place.

He walked all the way to Xu Lingzi's Lingqi Hall, and met a strange disciple along the way, he grabbed someone else, opened his mouth and ordered: "Yan Qinghe is unconscious in his own courtyard, you find someone to show him Look at the injury."

The disciple who was caught by the collar was a young disciple, only twelve or three or fourteen years old. Hearing this, he struggled twice and shouted: "Who are you, let me go!"

Xu Ziru let go of his collar, raised his hand and patted his head: "Go quickly."

The little disciple asked him with a straight face: "Who are you?"

Xu Ziru blinked, and asked back: "Who I am is more important than whether Yan Qinghe is unconscious or not?"

The little disciple hesitated for a moment with a bitter face, then thought that in the past month, he had indeed heard the news of the senior brother being punished in many places, and there were even rumors that senior brothers and sisters went to the master's hall to beg the master.

He hesitated for a moment, then turned and ran back.

While running, he couldn't stop turning his head and told, "Stay here and don't wander around. I'll come back to you after I take someone to visit Senior Brother."

Xu Ziru said "Hey" twice perfunctorily, and after the little disciple ran away, he continued to walk towards Lingqi Hall like an old man with his hands in his pockets.

He walked near the entrance of Lingqi Hall, and saw two or three disciples sitting quietly in the open space from a distance.

The first person is Liuying. The third senior sister Liuying always looks coldly at him every time she sees him. Xu Ziru is not in the mood to tease Liuying right now. Enter the hall by the side door to find Xu Lingzi.

People made a big circle to the side door, and it was already daylight.

The scorching sunlight of the Tianji Gate has already spread to every corner of the eye.

Xu Ziru only gestured to open the side door secretly, and the door opened from the inside.

An old man with a fluttering white beard stood at the door, meeting Xu Ziru's eyes.

Xu Lingzi frowned, Xu Ziru laughed, "Master, how did you come out of this door?"

Xu Lingzi blew on his beard, stood with his hands behind his back, and uttered a sentence like a fairy: "Wake up."

Xu Ziru frowned, squeezed Xu Lingzi into the house from the outside, he closed the side door with his backhand, and asked with a smile: "Where are you going, Master?"

His expression and tone of voice were not correct, Xu Lingzi frowned, and still maintained his respectable appearance: "What's the matter with you?"

Xu Ziru scratched his hair, took out the Nuwa stone from his cuff, and put it under Xu Lingzi's eyes: "Master, the Nuwa stone is here with me."

Xu Lingzi raised his head and glanced lightly, and said, "I know."

Xu Ziru withdrew his hand: "The pole in the Exorcism Abyss is cracked, and monsters are gushing out. Can this be used to fill up the crack, master?"

Xu Lingzi nodded slightly.

Xu Ziru laughed: "Then I am very curious about something and want to ask Master.

After asking, I took the Nuwa stone and went to stitch the crack with Master. "

Xu Lingzi heard the words and said: "You don't need to go, let Qinghe go with me."

Xu Ziru smacked his mouth: "He was disabled by the master, and he won't be able to get out of bed for a while."

Hearing this, Xu Lingzi blew on his beard again, and said after a while, "I've never hit him before."

Xu Ziru asked back, "Didn't you beat him six years ago?"

After all, Xu Lingzi is more than 100 years old, and he got over it in a moment, and said with a slight smile: "Are you here to settle accounts with me for him?"

He originally looked serious and said what he said, and he usually looks like a fairy who is about to cultivate the Tao, but this rhetorical question can feel a faint trace of warmth under his serious face.

Xu Ziru shook his head and denied, "No, no."

Xu Lingzi looked at him rather helplessly.

Xu Ziru said: "I just can't figure it out.

My senior brother and I are both disciples of the Tianji Sect, so why does the master want to prevent him from loving and hating me instead of me? "

Xu Lingzi didn't speak.

Xu Ziru said to himself: "It's not because he is your favorite disciple and he will inherit your mantle in the future, so he should cut off love and love?" He said nonsense, "But I see that Master also has a clear distinction between love and hate. of."

Xu Lingzi is getting old, and Xu Ziru's mild teasing really didn't stir up any waves in his heart, so he only pondered for a moment and asked, "Did he not tell you?"

Xu Ziru blinked: "He is still unconscious, Master."

Xu Lingzi raised his hand and stroked his beard, and said slowly: "More than 100 years ago, there was a turmoil in our Tianjimen. At that time, I was still a young disciple who just started."

Xu Ziru nodded: "I have heard a little."

Xu Lingzi glanced at him in surprise when he heard the words, and continued after a while: "I didn't know much about the incident at the time, I only knew that the Nuwa stone was lost, and the Kunlun mirror appeared later."

Xu Ziru pondered for a moment and said: "I have seen the mirror spirit in the dream of the Three Treasures, and it said it was dying."

Xu Lingzi looked at him again in surprise: "How did you see it?"

Xu Ziru shook his head: "I don't know either."

After pondering for a moment, Xu Lingzi continued: "This great turmoil led to the death of my Tianji Sect head, several elders, and many other disciples here.

Later, my senior brother at that time put the Kunlun Mirror into the Exorcism Abyss, and only then did the scattered demon energy be suppressed.

But soon after the senior brother came out, he was also harassed by the devil energy and died. "

Xu Ziru wondered: "Will anyone who enters the Exorcism Abyss be infested by the devil's energy and die?"

Xu Lingzi hesitated for a moment, his often solemn and silent expression stretched out, and he sighed: "Yes.

I went in several years ago. "

He said, "I know my life is not long."

Xu Ziru blurted out: "Then you still let Yan Qinghe go in with you?"

Xu Lingzi looked at him sideways and laughed: "This is what I want to tell you.

Qinghe had no father or mother, and was born from the Exorcism Abyss. "

Xu Ziru frowned.

Xu Lingzi said: "When I was young, I was always afraid that he was a monster that turned into a child. I locked him in the meditation garden for many years and didn't let him come out."

Xu Ziru shook his head: "Senior brother has an upright and noble temperament, it won't be those things."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and asked, "That's why you don't let Senior Brother leave with me, and you want him to cut off his love?"

Xu Lingzi's brows faded, he didn't look like the head of Tianji Sect at the moment, but rather an old man who cared about his children and grandchildren, he looked up at the sky, and when he retracted, there was an indescribable helplessness in his eyes: "Ruo Nu Washi was not found.

I will order him to use his own body to push against the crack of the pole after I die in the Exorcism Abyss. "

Xu Ziru blinked slowly: "You let him die."

Xu Lingzi said: "Where he was born, he should die there.

If it were him, he should be able to do the same. "

Xu Ziru couldn't help laughing: "You don't let him like others, and you don't let him live.

You are really a good master, and you have taught a good apprentice. "

Xu Lingzi stroked his beard, and said unhurriedly: "Everyone has his own destiny, it is determined by God.

You are still young, you do not understand. "

Xu Ziru thought to himself——according to the living age, I would probably be about the same age as you.

He snorted twice from his nasal cavity, spread Nuwashi's palm, and said without haste: "You want to enter the Exorcism Abyss, I will go with you."

Before Xu Lingzi could say his refusal, Xu Ziru said again: "Yan Qinghe can't resist the intrusion of monsters.

I was with him in the Three Treasures dream. He was once possessed by a monster, and he almost became inhuman and ghostless. "

Xu Lingzi narrowed his eyes slightly.

Xu Ziru said: "I should be much more useful than him."

Xu Lingzi sighed and shook his head.

Xu Ziru's eyes slightly bent, he made a smiling face, and his tone became more slow and calm: "I thought about it all night last night."

Xu Lingzi looked at him.

Xu Ziru said: "I went down the mountain six years ago.

I once met an old beggar who pretended to be a ghost somewhere, and the old beggar forced me to let me learn fortune-telling from him. "

He said, "I have learned some simple fortune-telling skills from people in the sect, and it is not a problem to go down the mountain to set up a stall to earn a living.

But to be honest, not really.

After studying with Lao Qi for a while, he suddenly became a fortune teller like a fairy possessed. "

Xu Zi sighed like he was telling a story: "Once I figured it out, someone later nicknamed me Banxian."

Xu Lingzi listened quietly, without answering.

Xu Ziru then continued: "Later, before parting from me, the old beggar leaked the heavenly secret and told me that the heavenly catastrophe was about to happen.

I wanted to ask, but he waved his hand and left. "

Xu Ziru said: "After I parted from him, I kept thinking about what a catastrophe it was along the way.

After calculating for a long time, I figured out a strange thing. "

Xu Ziru paused when he said this, he blinked at Xu Lingzi, and his tone became lighter, "I figured out a pillow to save the common people.

Do you know, Master? "

How could Xu Lingzi know these things? Hearing this, he just shook his head.

Xu Ziru put the Nuwa stone back into his sleeve, and smiled at Xu Lingzi with his eyes bent: "I was thinking about this when I woke up last night.

Later, Yan Qinghe came back and interrupted my train of thought, and he fell asleep all night with bruises all over his body.

It wasn't until this morning that I figured it out. "

Xu Lingzi seemed to be aroused by him, and looked at him suspiciously.

Xu Ziru smiled and said: "I entered He Zhen's Dream Realm with Yan Qinghe and a man named An Xi.

Not to mention He Zhen, he entered the dream independently by relying on the Nuwa stone.

The three of us, Yan Qinghe and Anxi, should have been drawn into this dream by the sudden demonic energy in He Zhen's courtyard. "

Xu Lingzi asked: "So what?"

Xu Ziru said: "An Xi and Yan Qinghe are both possessed by monsters, almost possessed by demons, Master."

He blinked, "But I am the only one who is clear-headed and not disturbed by anything. Why do you think this is?"

Xu Lingzi immediately asked: "Why?"

Xu Ziru said: "This morning I thought about what it means for He Zhen to save the common people.

Can only He Zhen hold the Nuwa stone to prevent possible disasters? He blinked his eyes, and there was still a slight smile in his eyes, "But why is this Nuwa stone on me now?" "

Xu Lingzi paused.

Xu Ziru smiled and said: "More than 20 years ago, I was abandoned by the Mianshui River, and it was He Zhen who brought me back to the Charity Hall to raise me.

If it hadn't been for him to save me, I should have starved to death by the water. "

"So I think, He Zhen saves the common people, probably means, He Zhen saves me, and I save the common people."

After Xu Ziru finished speaking slowly, he smiled and blinked at Xu Lingzi: "So are you going to take me into the Exorcism Abyss, or take Yanqinghe into it?"
