The night rain was getting heavier, and it hit the eaves with a crisp sound.

But he couldn't wake up the drowsiness anymore, instead, he became more sober the more he listened. The main hall of Qiangu City was also like this, except for the sound of rain, and the seats being knocked out——

The crane didn't return and got stuck in the water.

After soaking in the bathtub for a full hour, the water got cold before getting up to get dressed.

His stomach is hungry, and his mind is even more confused. He knows that the dream is fake, and people have seven emotions and six desires, so having a beautiful spring/dream is not a big deal.

What he cares about is that this illusory love/thing was done by He Yuwuque, and the love he wants to refuse and refuse to admit is not groundless.

Could it be that the unknowingly closeness made him have other thoughts about his apprentice?

Different from the relationship between Elder Xuanji and his brothers and sisters, which is aimed at Yu Wuque, this relationship is more secretive and impulsive.

Will it be love?

He Bugui stood by the table blankly, poured himself a glass of cold water, but forgot to drink it.

impossible.He is a person who is afraid of being involved with many people, and he cares very clearly about what he gives and what he pays back. From giving monthly money, to sending books, to accepting apprentices and teaching, everything is well planned to repay this boy's friendship. , has nothing to do with love.

If it had nothing to do with love, why would he want to keep him private, not allowed to get married, not allowed to accept champagne from other girls, and even a little angry when he returned to the house later.

He Bugui sighed, put down his water glass, and wanted to go to the window to breathe, to wake up his muddy mind.

As a result, as soon as the window was opened, a person fell in from "Bang Dang".

The crane does not return: "..."

Yu Wuque rolled onto the ground wet all over, frowning, He Bugui pulled him up, steamed his wet clothes, and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Eavesdropping on the corner." Yu Wuque rubbed his shoulders and answered frankly, "I don't dare to barge in. If you're still in trouble, don't beat me out."

There was a knock on the door, Kongzhi said outside: "I'm also eavesdropping, the meal has just been heated up, can Master have it?"

"Uh..." He Bugui sat down on the stool, "Are you waiting for me?"

"Yeah." Yu Wuque said, "If Master doesn't eat it, how dare we eat it?"

He Bugui is still stubborn: "I have no appetite."

"This inn has roasted deer tendon, and it's pretty good. The rest are made according to your taste, so eat as much as you want." Yu Wuque coaxed, "I promise not to pressure the meal, and sleep after eating, okay?"

The crane didn't return and had no choice but to nod.

It’s no different from eating at the same table as usual. Crane Bugui just needs to sit there, and the small plate of vegetables will be piled up in a short time. The soup is also dried. It was He Bugui's favorite dish, and even the sunflower kernels were picked out from the vegetables and put on the rice one by one.

The dessert after dinner is the same as before, and there is also milk to help sleep.

Crane Bugui put down his chopsticks while eating, and asked, "Yu Wuque, why did you pick out the sunflower kernels?"

"You like to eat." Yu Wuque replied.

Crane Bugui asked again: "If I like it, should I give it to me?"

"Otherwise?" Yu Wuque said inexplicably, "If you don't like food, you can set your chopsticks after a few mouthfuls. This is not at home. If you are hungry at night, you can't find anything to eat."

This is not what He Bugui wanted to ask, but he couldn't say what he wanted to ask, so he said "um", and said softly: "You don't have to pay too much attention to my preferences, in fact, what do I eat, eat more It doesn't matter less."

"Master, what happened to you today, what you said is so strange." Yu Wuque tilted his head to look at him, and even Kong Zhi felt that He Bugui didn't seem to be angry with someone, because he had something on his mind that made his words ineffective, don't be awkward , Kongzhi also said: "Master, did we do something to make you unhappy?"

"No." He Bugui said sullenly.

"It's fine if you don't have one." Yu Wuque saw that he really didn't have much appetite, so he dug out a spoonful of sweet cheese and fed it, "Open your mouth, there are chopped hawthorns on it."

Crane Bugui subconsciously opened his mouth to eat, and regretted it after eating, this damned pride.

The crane does not return: "..."

Yu Wuque smiled and asked, "The hawthorn is appetizing, isn't it too sour?"

He Bugui licked his lips: "It's okay."

"Then how many more bites of rice?" Yu Wuque knew that he couldn't eat much, so he put the rice into his own bowl and kept half of it, "It's almost there."

He Bugui resigned to his fate and picked up his chopsticks again: "Okay."

Kongzhi quietly gave Yu Wuque a thumbs up under the table: You are really good.

Yu Wuque stomped on him: I'm really good at coaxing children.

……

East China Sea, Dragon Palace.

The crystal coffin is parked in the center of the main hall, reflecting the radiance from the four walls of the hall.You can't see anything clearly inside, only a cloud of surging and rolling mist.

This cloud of mist seemed to be alive, vibrating the rhythm of the heartbeat, and the mist leaked out from the coffin little by little, and filled the entire hall.

It's like a fairy tomb among the clouds above the nine heavens.

There is not really a general body of a fairy in it. To the goddess, this person is more noble and sacred than a fairy.

She escaped from Qiangu City until now, just to let him live.

The mist vibrated more and more frequently, and Jiang Ning knelt in front of him, watching without moving.

Jiang Ning—to be precise, the new body confiscated by the goddess. At this time, she has been carefully dressed and put on a robe that suits her identity. The robe is full of mother-of-pearl splendor, stretching to the end of the hall, and her hair is full of pearls and emeralds. , the face gradually revealed the true colors of the soul, and there were two bright red marks on both sides of her forehead, which were marks unique to her race.

Shaped like a dragon horn, majestic and noble, inviolable to mortals.

Jiang Ning waited devoutly.

Not long after, there was finally movement in the coffin.

A wisp of mist rose for no reason, and a strong man's arm stretched out from it. The new student was still weak, and he just hung vainly by the side of the coffin, waiting for a long time.

Jiang Ning walked to the side of the coffin on her knees, and carefully took the man's hand. She held both hands, pressed her forehead to it, and called out softly, "Brother Chi You, you're awake."

"I... I have been waiting for you for many years."

"You should remember me."

A line of hot tears rolled down, causing the slender fingers to shrink slightly, and the man clasped his backhand, holding Jiang Ning's hand in his palm.

The mist gradually dissipated, and another palm supported the coffin, finally revealing the honor of the person in the coffin.

He doesn't wear a single thread, but his lean muscles are perfect, unlike ordinary people who would rot and blunt flesh, on him, the flesh is like an armor carefully crafted by God for him alone.

He was born with sword eyebrows and star eyes, and a majestic and handsome appearance, worthy of his unparalleled general talent.

This is the legend of Chi You who died in the prehistoric world, whose blood stretched for thousands of miles and formed a blood maple forest.

The king of the wilderness, Chi You who is the only one in the world who enjoys the title of military master.

It is the God of War that the world mentioned while being terrified and unable to believe that he existed.

He is also the saint whom the goddess is willing to dedicate everything to, and the elder brother Chiyou whom she respects as a god and secretly admires.

Chi You slowly opened his eyes, the scarlet and cold eyes couldn't hide the evil spirit, but the moment he saw the goddess, there was a little tenderness.

Of course he remembered this stunning beauty, and it was even more impossible to forget the soul he loved under the skin.

"Yingluo?" Chi You's voice was hoarse, and the rebirth was not yet over, but he was eager to call this person's name, "Yingluo, you woke me up?"

Jiang Ning's breath was stagnant when she heard these two words, she closed her eyes, swallowed the great sadness and jealousy, nodded and said: "Well, it's me."

Chi You raised her chin, wiped away the tears on her cheeks, and said distressedly: "I remember that you were with me and were imprisoned under the city by Ji Xuan, why are you here?"

"Tassel changed my life." Jiang Ning said, "You know, we sisters have one body and two souls, and my sister is still in the city."

The look of regret was fleeting, and Chi You said, "Fortunately, you are the one alive."

Jiang Ning's hands froze: "Then...do you want to save me?"

"You are enough." Chi You gently scratched the bridge of Jiang Ning's nose, "Your sister is a lunatic, I only want you."

Jiang Ning gave a "hmm" and pressed his forehead to Chi You's palm again, his eyes were dim.

Chi You was in a trance for a moment, then quietly asked: "Where are my subjects now?"

"At the bottom of Qiangu City." Jiang Ning smiled sternly, "Don't worry, they will come back soon."

Soon, besides them, there will be more people who will surrender at your feet, act like a God of War, and bring prosperity to the world.

Chi You said with satisfaction: "You have worked so hard to plan everything, and leave it to me. I know that Ji Xuan is not dead, even his doll that got in the way is alive."

Goddess's eyebrows jumped: "Yu somehow reincarnated, and now has a living body, a disciple of Tianji Palace named Yu Wuque, but Brother Chi You, how do you say that Ji Xuan is also alive? He clearly—"

"Alive." Chi You took a deep breath, "I can feel that he's still alive. Now that I've returned, I won't let him have another chance to live. Yingluo, find him."

Jiang Ning said: "Brother Chi You can take revenge for the thousand years of captivity, and he must be killed with his own hands."

"Wouldn't it be cheap for him to die?" Chi You sneered, "I'm going to cut this man alive and turn him into the most lowly ghost soldier."

Jiang Ning said in a low voice: "Yes, everything will be as you wish."

Chi You caressed the face of the Goddess, and said softly, "It's as you and I wish."

……

Originally, it only took five days to go to Jiangling, but we stopped and stopped all the way, and it took seven days to reach Jiangling.

The crane does not return is not intentionally delaying time, it is really a phenomenon that occurs frequently in the spiritual veins, in addition to the evil infestation, even the good-looking woods are a bit weird, April is the season of flying flowers when everything recovers, but the forest is full of dead trees, a corrupt atmosphere .Not to mention flying flowers, they can't even grow leaves.

So along the way, he was busy digging grass and soil, saving three Qiankun bags of mud and grass roots, and found that everything above the veins seemed to have been sucked away.

Yu Wuque came back from fetching water and saw no one, so he asked Kongzhi, "Did Master dig it up again?"

"Well, we didn't see many living things along the way. There seemed to be a rabbit just now, and the master chased it." Kong Zhi pointed to the grove behind him and said, "He didn't let me follow, and he said you would do not go."

These few days, Crane Bugui is reticent, no matter how much Ren Yuwuque troubles him, he looks lonely and widowed, holding a copy of "Qingxin Sutra" in his hand in his spare time, as if he will be shaved tomorrow Like a monk.

Of course the two disciples knew that he was weird, but they couldn't find out why.

Kong Zhi sighed: "I asked you a few times, and I said that I didn't mess with him, but I was clearly sulking."

Yu Wuque spread his hands, and usually laughed when he was sulking, no matter how angry he was, he would beat him up, how could he ignore people like he is now.

Yu Wuque was very innocent: "When I get up to practice swordsmanship in the morning, my master also teaches me how to use swordsmanship as usual. In the afternoon, I draw formations and answer any questions I ask him. It doesn't look unusual, except..."

Except for not chatting with Yu Wuque, holding hands, holding backs, eating the food that was brought to him, sleeping in a different room, and not even touching his hair, there is really no difference.

He said he was alienated, but he was not. As a master, he did not fail to teach and check his homework every day.

But avoiding Yu Wuque is visible to the naked eye, and even the punishment for answering the wrong question is changed, and the palm of the hand is used instead of a tree branch, as if even the skin contact of hitting someone is afraid of avoiding it.

One night, Yu Wuque saw that his complexion was not very good, and worried about the fever, he wanted to touch his master's forehead, but He Bugui moved his face coldly: "Don't touch me again."

After that, Yu Wuque was even more sure that He Bugui had something on his mind, and it had something to do with him, and it had something to do with him being too close to him, so that he restrained himself a lot, and deliberately avoided contact with He Bugui, so as not to scare people Get mad.

Yu Wuque was puzzled: "Kongzhi, am I acting frivolously?"

"Not to others." Kongzhi replied honestly, "To Master, you have always been indifferent to etiquette, and it is not wrong to say that you are frivolous."

Yu Wuque kicked him: "I'm his apprentice, it's inevitable to touch him when taking care of him. Master didn't care about it before, why suddenly won't let me touch it now."

"Look at your wording." Kong Zhi spat, tut-tsk and shook his head, "What's the difference between you and a hooligan?"

Yu Wuque rolled his eyes and played with Jiansui: "I've been paying attention these two days, how long will it be awkward to stay away from him?"

Kong Zhi arched him: "Brother, you can't even coax people well, how can you be a teacher's wife?"

"I want to go, but you say I'm a hooligan!" Yu Wuque said angrily.

Kong Zhi laughed at him: "If my wife does these things, she won't be called a hooligan. If you get a decent status as soon as possible, you won't have such worries."

makes sense.

Yu Wuque thought, He does not belong to such a naive person, who knows what kind of childish thoughts he is trying to be awkward, he is afraid that he is too shy to get close to him, it is better to pierce the window paper as soon as possible, stretching his head and shrinking his head, it is better than now Generally neither awkward nor embarrassing alienation.

"I'll go find him." Yu Wuque stood up with his sword in hand, and ran into the forest with big strides.

He Bugui was indeed stumbling over things, literally.

I don't know how many things are buried in the ground. The vines emerge from the soil and crawl to him at a very slow speed. In fact, they can be cut off with a single sword, but He Bugui didn't notice any evil spirits. , and wanted to find out what these things were, so the rattan wrapped his feet.

The rattan had barbs, and after gently wrapping the ankle, the barbs stuck into the flesh.

It was not poisonous, and did not bleed much. It was not painful, so Crane Bugui simply sat down and observed their behavior.

When Yu Wuque found him, this was what he saw. Crane Bugui's feet were entangled in vines, and he sat among the dead leaves, staring at the vines with a melancholy expression.

Without even thinking about it, Yu Wuque slashed at him with his sword, and He Bugui hurriedly stood up and clasped his wrist: "Don't cut!"

Yu Wuque forcibly withdrew his sword energy, and squatted down together with He Bugui: "What the hell is this thing doing, Master, your foot is injured."

"It's okay." He Bugui said casually, "Wait a minute, they're starting to suck."

What kind of creepy words are these? Yu Wuque squeezed the hilt of his sword: "What are you sucking? Get rid of this dirty thing."

"Drink my spiritual power and essence." He Bugui pointed to the rattan and said, "See if it moves, it seems to be drinking water, it flows very slowly, has no attack power, and the spiritual energy is sucked underground."

With two flashes of sword light, Yu Wuque raised the sword in his hand and cut off the vine, put the two feet of the crane on his lap, and carefully removed the vine: "If you want to check, check it." , I have never heard of the method of using one's own flesh and blood to feed evil things."

Crane Bugui twitched his legs in shock, Yu Wuque pushed up his trousers, clasped his calves and pulled them back: "Don't move, I will bandage you up soon, if you tear the wound open, I will I can only carry you back."

He Bugui's face froze: "..." He didn't move, please move faster.

Look, it really is hiding from me, and it can't cure you?Yu Wuque lowered his head to stop the bleeding: "Tell me, why did Master check the cane?"

Crane Bugui turned his head and said: "The unsealed fish will cause the Undead City to lose its power, but Ji Xuan will definitely not just make one-handed plans. Building on the spiritual veins is a double insurance. Now the spiritual veins are drying up very quickly. I think so All the energy went to the Undead City."

Yu Wuque said: "These vines grow from the spiritual veins to absorb spiritual energy?"

"No, it was planted by humans." He Bugui said.

"Ji Xuan? No, he monopolizes the source of the spiritual veins, so there is no need to do anything extra." Yu Wuque raised his head and thought for a while, "Xuanjiemen."

Crane Bugui is not sure: "This thing is ancient, it was not just planted today, the roots of the rattan are strong, at least seven or eight hundred years. Since the spirit vein changed hands, the Xuanjie Gate has been guarding every step of the way. They rely on the rattan It is understandable for a vine to absorb the spiritual power of the spirit veins, but now this vine is also absorbing irrelevant spiritual power, and even emerges from the soil, as if... there is no way out."

These things crawl slowly, have weak vitality, and have no attack power. Not to mention monks, even countrymen can chop them off with an axe, which shows that they are on the verge of dying.

If Crane Bugui hadn't deliberately stretched out his feet to let them suck them, they wouldn't even be able to stain their clothes. From this, it can be inferred that no matter what the purpose of the person who planted them is, they are now unsustainable.

Moreover, He Bugui sensed that the direction of his spiritual power was heading towards Jiangling.

"There's something weird about Xuanjiemen, you'll know when you go." Yu Wuque bandaged his ankles, put down his trousers and helped Crane Bugui get up, "Give me your hand."

"I can go." He Bugui let go of him, pushed him deliberately, turned around, picked up the cane and left.

Yu Wuque stepped over to block the way: "Master, why are you annoyed me these few days? I'll correct what I did wrong."

He Bugui looked up at him: "No."

"Why are you hiding without you?" Yu Wuque took his hand, grasped it tightly, and raised his two clasped palms in front of him, "Just because of this?"

He Bugui nodded: "Master and apprentice should behave like master and apprentice."

"Did you say this to me, or to yourself?" Yu Wuque didn't understand, "I've always been like this since I entered your sect, what's the problem?"

Crane Bugui turned his head and dragged him forward.

Yu Wuque followed, still asking: "Anyway, there is no one here, you can say anything you want, and I can say it too."

"I don't want to say it." He Bugui walked forward sullenly, "I don't want to hear it either."

Yu Wuque glanced at him: "Are you afraid that others will see us like this and misunderstand something? Do you have to be happy if I treat you with respect and kindness?"

He Bugui let out a "hmm": "It should be like this."

Yu Wuque laughed out loud: "That is to describe a husband and wife."

The crane does not return: "..."

It can be seen that it is not a good thing for the apprentice to turn his mind too fast, and easily lead people into the ditch.

Yu Wuque tugged hard, took him into his arms, hugged him and said, "I want to tell you something."

He Bugui was taken aback, fearing that he would say something shocking to the world, he quickly pinched his mouth: "Yu Wuque, the misunderstanding is all because of your random teasing, and you still don't know how to restrain yourself!"

"What kind of misunderstanding?" Yu Wuque smiled evilly, "If it is not a misunderstanding, then it is the truth?"

What the hell are you talking about, I don't understand, and I don't want to understand, He Bugui angrily broke away from him: "I have something to hold on to myself."

"I can't hold back anymore." Yu Wuque shrugged.

He Bugui glared at him: "Hold on!" Then he left behind angrily.

He didn't see that Yu Wuque had already bent over with a smile, so if he didn't say anything, let's not say it, the master who became angry from embarrassment is really cute.

I'm not afraid to hold back for a few more days, it won't be too late until he can face it and accept it.

Anyway, I, Yu Wuque, will decide on the position of Master Mistress!

The author says:

Kong Zhi drew circles on the ground: What are you doing in the grove?Is there anything that my noble living puppet can't see?
