As soon as Chen Xi opened his eyes, he saw the face of a hanged ghost, full of beards, with a long tongue sticking out, and eyes so small that they could hardly be seen.

He screamed out in fright, and when he heard the familiar laughter, he cursed: "Situ Yao, you must be sick! Get out of here, you monster!"

Situ Yao smiled and bent over, "Hahahaha, who made you so scared."

Chen Xi sat up, let out a breath of shock, and asked earnestly, "Wouldn't you be scared to death by your current appearance when you look in the mirror?"

Situ Yao spread his hands: "That's why I never look in the mirror."

"Get lost," Chen Xi didn't bother to continue talking to him, remembering that he seemed to have fainted, and asked, "I just...what happened?"

Ling Aoyue said: "You passed out from a nosebleed, the Qingyu Immortal brought you to the medical hall, we are worried, so we will follow you to have a look. But don't worry, the elder said that there is no serious problem, it seems that you are on fire, change something medicine."

"Your description is too boring, listen to me," Situ Yao assumed the posture of a storyteller, "When you fainted, Qingyu Xianzun flashed to hug you, and before everyone responded, he used The speed of thunder sent you to the medical hall, and it took us a long time to catch up, and then—"

"Enough is enough," Chen Xi interrupted, not wanting to watch the monkey show again, "What about my master?"

Ling Aoyue: "He and grandpa went to the back hall to discuss matters, and they should be back after a while."

back hall.

The headmaster was stroking his beard and sighing, "I didn't expect that Chen Xi's health would not improve after smashing so many precious medicinal materials in three months. Although his complexion looked much better, but he had taken the poison before. It's been too long, and the injury has penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and I'm afraid there is no way to recover."

Lin Jingran had a dignified face and remained silent.

"Jingran, I don't feel sorry for medicinal materials. Compared with human life, it's nothing to mention. It's just your apprentice... Sigh, how long are you going to hide it from him?"

Lin Jingran raised his eyes and looked into the distance: "He is very happy now."

In the past, Lin Jingran used to be straightforward, and never beat around the bush even the bad news, but this time he hesitated.

He suddenly thought of Chen Xi's sobs on the night of the teacher apprenticeship meeting and today's joy when Chen Xi waved goodbye to his classmates. He couldn't bear to break the present beauty, and he couldn't bear to see Chen Xi's lonely and helpless eyes.

There will be a suitable time, but not today.he thinks.

"It's really not as gloomy as it was when I first came here," the headmaster paused, and said with a serious expression, "Jingran, it's your first time accepting apprentices, and I can understand your love and care for your apprentices. As a teacher, you need more karmic solutions." Confused, you are too indulgent with Chen Xi, and this will only harm him. He is a first-class Tianlinggen aptitude, and he only ranked sixth in this assessment, and you were first in the list every time."

Realizing that his words were a bit fierce, the headmaster let out a long sigh and slowed down his speech: "If this continues, he will only have two or three years to live. Besides, your heart disease still needs to rely on his blood. During this period If he can cultivate the immortal body, there may still be room for change. Jingran, you should think about it carefully, apprentices are not for petting, but for teaching."

Lin Jingran pondered for a long time, and finally said: "He is probably awake, I'll go and have a look."

"Okay." The headmaster felt helpless, and he didn't know how much Jing Ran could listen to his earnest words.

Now he even regrets that he persuaded Lin Jingran to accept his disciples. He originally thought that Jingran would be a strict teacher, but he never thought that he would become a "loving father" now. Forget it, but insist on forging the best sword for the apprentice.

But it stands to reason that Jingran's cold temper should be calmed down a bit, but why is he still indifferent to others?

The headmaster sighed again and again with worry, and suddenly felt that his hair turned gray again.

In the medical hall, Chen Xi, Situ Yao, and Ling Aoyue were chatting enthusiastically, while Abo stood aside and only responded when called.

Seeing the return of the Qingyu Immortal, Ling Aoyue said quite perceptively: "Hello, Qingyu Immortal, since the Immortal is back, let's go first."

But Situ Yao went straight up and introduced himself: "I am Situ Yao, a good friend of Chen Xi. I don't know if my disciples can visit Wuxun in the future and listen to the lectures of the immortal. ?”

Chen Xi made trouble: "Master, I don't know this person, don't listen to his nonsense."

"Okay, okay you," Ling Aoyue pulled Situ Yao up and walked out, "Immortal Venerable, let's take our leave first."

Abe followed silently.

"Hey, let go, can you be gentle! It hurts!" Situ Yao's voice gradually faded away.

"They are used to being so noisy," Chen Xi smiled and asked, "Master, Ling Aoyue said that I am fine, is that true? Then my injury..."

"It's getting better."

Chen Xi lowered his eyes. In fact, he knew his own body well. There was absolutely nothing wrong with him. He had been taking the poison for seven years, how could he recover after only three months of stopping.

But there is no need for Master to lie to him, it seems that the three-month recuperation is still effective.Chen Xi thought to himself: Lingfengmen might be able to heal his wounds.After all, his body has indeed improved visibly to the naked eye.

Back at Wuxun, Chen Xi closed the door tightly, took out the parchment he had communicated with Moyu, and asked about the poison.

After a while, there was a reply on the paper—the chief envoy is waiting to be investigated.

After three months, things finally made a lot of progress. Chen Xi was a little excited. Next, he just needed to find out who was behind the scenes.

He wanted to see who had spent so much time harming him.

The next day, in the afternoon.

Today is the first time to practice with Master. What Chen Xi imagined was: the fragrance of tea is far away, and the two of them are sitting under the locust tree in the courtyard, talking about scriptures and Taoism.

For this reason, he purposely rummaged out the small stove for making tea. Just as the fire was being lit, the master came.

Chen Xi smiled and said: "Master, I am planning to make tea, what are we going to learn today?"

"Lingfengmen swordsmanship is the foundation." Lin Jingran said, pointing with his index finger and middle finger together, "otherwise the sword" came out of its sheath smoothly and flew in front of Chen Xi.

Chen Xi understood, Master wanted to test his skills, so he picked up the sword and performed a beautiful sword dance.

"Master, how's it going? Although I don't have enough magic power, my swordsmanship and martial arts are quite advanced."

Lin Jingran didn't answer, just stretched out her hand, and a branch fell into her hand.

Seeing this, Chen Xi asked: "Master, are you going to compete with me with a branch? Then I will find a piece too."

"You don't use a sword," Lin Jingran said, "it doesn't have magic power, it's just martial arts."

"Master, this... I'm afraid I will accidentally hurt you. Before I was injured, no one had ever defeated me except my father in sword competitions."

"If you can win, let's make tea and chat today."

"Really?" Chen Xi got excited, "Then Master, I will not show mercy."

Lin Jingran turned her right hand behind her back, calmly said: "You make the move first."

Seeing that Shizun gave him a hand, Chen Xi said, "Master, you look down on people too much."

As soon as the words fell, he set up his sword and made moves, which were fierce and fast, and Lin Jingran used the branches to resolve them one by one.

After a few moves, Chen Xi felt that something was wrong, although the master used a tree branch, but he held it firmly and skillfully, and he was able to return his moves.

This branch seems to be small, and it can be cut off with a single sword, but when it hits the other sword, it makes his palms feel numb. If the master used the sword, he would have lost already.

Seeing that the master was able to defend with ease, Chen Xi was impatient, and the faster he moved, he would accidentally reveal his flaws, with a "snap", otherwise the sword would be blown away, and when he turned around, the branch was already in his neck.

Victory and defeat.

Chen Xi bowed and said, "Master, it was the disciple who lost..."

Lin Jingran said: "The swordsmanship of cultivating immortals is fundamental. Your foundation is not bad, but when you use a sword, you pursue speed and fierceness too much, and neglect stability and strength."

"Disciples respect the teacher's teachings."

"Did you see the moves just now?"

"See clearly."

"Practice this move a hundred times."

"What?!" Chen Xi was taken aback for a moment, and began to bargain, "Master, can you do it fifty times first, and a hundred times is too..."

Lin Jingran looked over expressionlessly: "Two hundred times."

Seeing Master's appearance of not listening to discussion, Chen Xi had no choice but to say, "Then...that should be done a hundred times..."

This set of moves really focuses on strength and stability, Chen Xi is already sweating profusely after a few rounds.

He took a peek at the master, Lin Jingran was sitting under the tree, reading a book and drinking tea at the same time, very relaxed and comfortable.

He found that today the master is very strict with him, and he has always kept a serious face, which is completely different from the gentle appearance in the past.

Chen Xi was puzzled, but suddenly a flash of inspiration came to his mind, he suddenly stopped practicing his sword, deliberately staggered a few steps, then closed his eyes, and fell backwards.

There seemed to be a gust of wind blowing past his ears, he was caught by someone, and when he opened his eyes, Master was looking at him anxiously, asking, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

This is his master, Chen Xi smiled slyly: "Haha, master, I lied to you."

"Nonsense." Lin Jingran's face darkened, and he supported his apprentice to stand upright. "Two hundred times, start again."

ah?Chen Xi didn't dare to disobey when he saw Master's face, and he said in his heart: I can't live because I committed a crime!
