The salted fish attack made the master carry the cub

"Open this first." Qi Wushen pointed to the brocade box in the middle.

"Okay." Lin Yangfeng nodded, and then opened the first brocade box on the left.

Qi Wushen: "..."

So what's the point of letting him choose?

"Are you doing the same in front of Nan Tianzun?" the boy asked.But the other party ignored him at all, and opened the brocade box on his own.

The young man didn't talk to him too much, and leaned forward.

As soon as the brocade box was opened a crack, an awe-inspiring cold air rushed over.The cold boy was very familiar, and the memory was pulled away all of a sudden, and he was pulled back to Cangwuxuan, under the plum blossom tree in Zongwu's house.

A piece of plain white, dotted with cold plums, mixed with a dense medicinal fragrance, that is one of the most familiar sights for teenagers.

After returning from the tribulation, when Zong Wu first met his master, Zong Wu still had the familiar scent of the medicine on his body. After this period of time in the world of dust, the smell began to gradually dissipate. Until today, when the young man felt the familiar chill again, he felt a sense of long-lost The feeling after the reunion.

"Snow Drinking Grass?" The young man took out the herbal medicine that was well preserved by the fairy method in the brocade box. The cold air released around the herb is especially comfortable in summer.

"Master asked Nan Tianzun to bring it, right? Why didn't you give it to Master directly?"

Lin Yangfeng didn't speak, and didn't even look at Qi Wushen.

The boy didn't care either.Now he is not worried that this person will make him mad. He thinks that Lin Yangfeng is more likely to be beaten to death when he goes out.

"What is this?" The young man reached out and took out a bulging letter from the brocade box. The envelope was quite familiar to him, and it was exactly the same as the one given to Master by Huasheng Daoist.

"A letter from Taoist Huasheng to you." Lin Yangfeng's tone was cool, which was very suitable for cooling off in summer.

"The letter from Dao Zun? Does the old man know me?" The young man raised his eyebrows, his tone full of surprise.

Lin Yangfeng went silent again, the boy remembered it by himself.Although he had never met Daoist Huasheng, just now Nan Tianzun said that he told Daoist about Master's affairs.Although I don't know to what extent, it is very likely that he was mentioned.

Qi Wushen pressed the bulging envelope, and the thing inside was long, with one pointy and the other blunt, like a hairpin.

He blinked and opened the letter curiously, and sure enough, a hairpin inlaid with gold and jade fell out of the envelope.

What's this?Qi Wushen thought, but didn't say it.

He put the hairpin aside, flattened the paper, and began to read.

The words of the whole letter are sincere and plain, without the slightest appearance of Dao Zun, but more like an old man telling his grandson.

Qi Wushen had never seen Dao Zun's appearance before, and his preconceived idea was the image of an elder with gray hair.

The letter started with "Little Friend Without Deepness", and there were two full pages, but only two things were written on it.

First, it has something to do with Xue Yincao, and it is also the reason why Dao Zun does not want Zong Wu to continue to practice the ruthless way.

——"People are not plants, how can they be ruthless? The way of ruthlessness must eliminate human desires, suppress nature, be ruthless and have no thoughts. It seems that you can get the way, but in fact it is against the way of heaven."

When he saw this sentence, the young man was stunned. It felt like a small hammer hit the sky cap, pushing all the thoughts out of his mind.

Is the ruthless way against the way of heaven?

Then why did the Huasheng Daoist ask Master to practice the Ruthless Dao at that time? It was still the kind that didn't give him a choice.

The boy frowned slightly and continued to read.

"Xueyincao is extremely cold, it can suppress desires and emotions, and maintain Dao Xin, but the herb itself is extremely cold, long-term use is not beneficial to the body, and will cause deficiency."

Qi Wushen: "..."

He looked at the Xueyincao that was still emitting cold air, and understood why Nan Tianzun gave it to him first.If it was directly given to Master, he would definitely drink it without hesitation.

Thinking of this, the boy bit his lower lip hard, and the hand holding the letter trembled involuntarily, to the point where his knuckles turned white.

Irritability is like a fire that burns a mountain across the heart. Master... Master must have known that drinking grass from snow is harmful to the body, but he still drinks it all the time.

No wonder he wondered why Zong Wu drank a lot of medicine, but his health did not improve. I dare say that the medicine is not for curing the disease, but for causing the disease.

wow-

The boy stood up abruptly and walked out the door.

"What are you doing? Here is a brocade box." Lin Yangfeng added coolly behind his back.

This time, the boy's voice was colder than his.

--"cool down."

Qi Wushen walked into the yard, without using spiritual power, he punched the tree trunk.It was a towering ancient tree. It was fine to be hit by the tree, but the originally white knuckles suddenly turned red, and blood oozes from some places.

The pain made the boy temporarily calm. He ignored the scratches on his hands and went back to his room to read the letter.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Does it have anything to do with you?"

People who are usually the most tempered can be frightening when they get angry.Lin Yangfeng glanced at him and didn't answer any more.

The young man quickly browsed through the rest of the letter, and a lot of it was about Dao Zun's guilt for letting Zong Wu practice the ruthless way at the beginning, and his hope that he would persuade Zongwu to give up practicing the ruthless way.

After reading these, Qi Wushen's feelings towards Hua Sheng Dao Zun began to become subtle.

On the one hand, he remembered what Nan Tianzun said about the master's life experience last time. If there was no Huasheng Daozun, he would never have met Zong Wu.

On the other hand, if Daoist Huasheng insisted on making Master practice the Way of Ruthlessness, Master would not be in the current situation.

There is a fine line between respect and dislike.Young people are not people who make assumptions. What kind of feelings they have depends on the reason why Huasheng Taoist insists on letting Master practice the way of ruthlessness.

But it just so happens that this letter is full of remorse, without mentioning the reason.The young man lowered his eyes and finished reading the last few lines of the letter.

——"Little friend Wushen, I enclose a hairpin with the letter, which is the key to the gate of my practice forbidden area. After returning to Jiuchongtian, I hope to meet and have a long talk with you."

Qi Wushen paused for a while looking at the blank space on the back of the letter paper, before gathering his mood to open the next brocade box.

This time, Lin Yangfeng was not as silent as before, and took the initiative to convey Nan Tianzun's meaning.

"Tianzun said that as a senior brother, he really hopes that the emperor can abandon the Tao, but the final choice must be taken by the emperor himself. The state of destroying the Tao cannot be maintained for too long in the Jiuzhongtian, so whether it is abolished or continued, it must be done as soon as possible. Decide."

Qi Wushen nodded, holding the things in the brocade box and paused for a while.

——It was a small wooden box containing pills.There are several large characters of Plastic Dao Pill written on the wooden box, and its function can be guessed without mentioning it, but it is to reshape Dao Xin and so on.

Lin Yangfeng beside him pointed to the Taoist Pill in Qi Wushen's hand, and started to introduce it again.

"In the whole world, there are only a handful of things that can reshape the heart of the Tao. The heart of a thousand-year-old tree, the soul of an emperor in the world, and the most sacred Taoist pill. The second method is too sinister and despised by the immortals. The first method, a thousand-year-old The old tree heart is the easiest to find, but hard to use. The surest way to reshape the Dao heart is this Dao Shaping Pill in your hand, which has exhausted all the treasures of heaven and earth and has been refined for a hundred years."

"Hmm..." The young man replied, "You can just talk about the key points, what are the side effects?"

"You are also considered transparent." Lin Yangfeng praised inexplicably, which made the young man a little confused, and only listened to the other party saying, "If you encounter another way, the plastic Tao Dan has no side effects. The most important thing is the ruthless way, and the effect of the plastic way pill is extremely strong, at least for a year, he will not experience any emotions until the Taoist heart is completely stabilized."

The young man let out a "hiss" and asked again, "Is there any more?"

"If some memories are particularly emotional, they may be forgotten. However, this is Nan Tianzun's speculation, so it is not guaranteed."

"..."

The Plastic Dao Pill can make the master pick up the skill immediately, but it may forget some things, and...if he picks up the ruthless way, the relationship between him and the master...

Qi Wushen had the idea of ​​throwing away the elixir directly, but he didn't do it in the end, he just put away the things silently, and ended the meeting with Lin Yangfeng.

-

In the afternoon, Qi Wushen sat in the room alone, motionless, repeatedly playing with the wooden box containing the Tao Dan.

He had something on his mind, and his face was sullen, and he even forgot to go to the village to pick up Ji Sheng and the others.

In the evening, Zong Wu came to look for him.I came to pick up the books.

Before Zong Wu said that he wanted to read those books about pregnancy, Qi Wushen found them for him, but there were too many books, and he only moved them for a little while before, so he didn't take them back.

At this time, he came to pick up the rest of the books. By the way, he wanted to tell the boy something, but...

"What's the matter with you?" Zong Wu glanced at the little apprentice.

The person who is usually always warm and cheerful, now has a somewhat gloomy temperament for some reason.

He originally planned to take advantage of the young apprentice's time to make jokes, but Zong Wu didn't know how to respond to the boy's current reaction.

"It's nothing." After Qi Wushen was called, he raised his eyes and glanced at Master indifferently.

Zong Wu: "..."

Those eyes used to be semi-fixed on him as long as he was present, even in the crowd.

And now...

The two of them were in the same room, and they couldn't even find a third person, but Qi Wushen stopped looking at him.

He even had to cry out before he remembered to look up at him.

Zong Wu paused for a moment, then asked again: "Are you really all right?"

The boy didn't speak, shook his head, stood up again, and took the book from the master's arms.

"I'll help you carry it back."

The boy said so, but his tone was the same as before, and he couldn't hear much concern.

Zong Wu's hand holding the book was empty, he shook it in the void, and then put it down again. At the same time, a strange feeling of emptiness rose in his heart.

He didn't know how to describe it, but the feeling was like that of a person who is used to being exposed to sunlight and then returning to darkness.

Zong Wu bowed his head and said "Okay", and walked out of the yard with the little apprentice one after the other.

The two walked side by side without saying a word until they entered the familiar courtyard.

"Master, where do you put it?" The young man said in a sleepy tone, which was unpredictable.

"Anything you want." Zong Wu replied, his tone also unusual.

"Master, is something on your mind?" The young man put the book on the table and turned around suddenly.His voice was a few degrees higher than before, and at the same time, as he turned around, a small wooden box fell to the ground with a "snap".

The three small characters of Plastic Dao Dan on it were exceptionally clear, Qi Wu took a deep breath, and his messy thoughts were instantly expelled from his mind.

How could he make such a low-level mistake?

He hasn't decided whether to give the thing to the master. If Zong Wu doesn't discover the existence of the Dao Plastic Pill, he still has the possibility of concealing it. Once the master finds out, things will never turn around.

Qi Wushen hurriedly leaned over to pick it up, trying to cover up the existence of the elixir, but the moment his hand touched the wooden box, another jade-like hand immediately covered it.

Qi Wushen shuddered, and a chill rose from his feet.

He slowly raised his head and looked at Zong Wu, his whole body was like falling into an ice cave.

"Master, did you see it?" The young man tried his best to control his slightly trembling hands.

Zong Wu's brows were tightly clenched, Qi Wushen's heart beat like a drum, and the next second, Master's thin lips parted slightly, and a few words came out from between his lips.

"What did you do with your hands? So careless?"

He took Qi Wushen's unhealed finger and inspected the scratches on it.

The young man's fingertips were still trembling slightly, and he stared at Zong Wu blankly, his whole body in a state of shutdown.

I don't know if it was an illusion or what, but he actually saw a trace of... distressed in Zong Wu's eyes?
