False propaganda, tricked me into cultivating immortals

This scene gave Shen Wu a strong feeling of déjà vu, as if it was the same when he was seven years old, Zhou Lian said "you find a place to rest by yourself", no matter how impatient he was, he would still come back to him in the end.

He suddenly trembled, opened his mouth but couldn't speak, stepped on Zhou Lian's footsteps and walked in without saying a word, closing the door.

Zhou Lian said again: "Excuse me, make me a cup of tea."

Shen Wu is like a marionette, Zhou Lian's every word is a thread that controls him, he says a word, Shen Wu does it, and when he finishes, he is stunned again, waiting for Zhou Lian's next "command" ".

Zhou Lian also found out, but ignored him, sat down at the table, poured himself a cup of hot tea, and said:

"Are you a pangolin, poke and move?"

Then Shen Wu subconsciously went around to face him, and stood still again.

Zhou Lian stared at him several times, thinking, is this kid trying to play against me on purpose?

When he didn't speak, Shen Wu never made any next move, he seemed to stay in his room forever.For a moment Zhou Lian really wanted to leave him alone, but he was afraid that he would take advantage of him, so he forced himself to take a step back, and said angrily:

"Shen Xiaolang, please sit down."

Shen Wu sat down.

Then he looked up at him and said, "Brother Zhou, have you seen Senior Changwuzi recently?"

He said "Brother Zhou" over and over again, Zhou Lian felt uncomfortable no matter what he heard, his nose was almost crooked, so he said with a sullen face, "Why not, I saw it before I came here."

Shen Wu almost believed it—or he really wanted to believe it, but luckily his rationality overcame his weakness, and he said, "Brother Zhou, stop joking."

Zhou Lian restrained his expression, rubbed his thumb lightly on the teacup, and said in a low voice, "Seeing or not seeing each other is a family matter of our sect, what has it to do with you?"

When he said this, there was a hint of anger in it, but he wanted to provoke Shen Wu, but Shen Wu didn't move his eyes, and even smiled gently, saying

"Brother Zhou is right."

Zhou Lian felt that he was not talking, but that he was putting stones in his heart, so that he couldn't breathe, and he almost smashed the teacup in his hand.

I haven't seen you in ten years, just ten years, why did this kid become so annoying?

After being angry, he thought back on the situation since the reunion. Even though he had cultivated a body of copper and iron for many years, it was inevitable that he would feel a little cold for a moment, and said indifferently: "Then there is nothing to talk about, Mr. Shen, please." Come back."

Shen Wu shook hands hidden in his sleeves: "Brother Zhou?"

Zhou Lian interrupted him irritably: "Don't call me."

Shen Wu knew that this time he would probably return for nothing, he sighed in his heart, got up and said goodbye: "Then I won't bother Brother Zhou to rest."

"Master asked me to bring you a sentence." Zhou Lian said behind him, his voice was very low, "Ten years of master and apprentice, this is the end of fate."

Shen Wu's face turned pale, he froze in place, not daring to turn his head.

Zhou Lian continued: "He asked me to tell you that it was he who was sorry for you."

He smiled lightly, and he couldn't hear any joy. Instead, he had a slight sense of ridicule, "Although I don't quite understand, what can he do to you."

"Back then, when you said you betrayed the master, you betrayed the master, and you left without saying a word, and there was no news. Now you are concerned about the master, don't you think it's too late?"

The hand in Shen Wu's sleeve slowly clenched into a fist, he couldn't say anything to justify, because it was the truth.No matter what the reason was, what Zhou Lian said was not bad at what he did back then.

His silence and passivity aroused Zhou Lian's greater dissatisfaction: "Are you dumb? Talk."

Shen Wu said quietly: "Brother Zhou wants me to say something."

The "Brother Zhou" in his mouth didn't have the self-consciousness of being a brother, so he poked at his sore spots honestly and bluntly: "For example, you can tell me how your master has wronged you."

Shen Wu only felt that his entire face was stiff and turned into a wall that would crack if he moved, he was silent for a while, and said: "Brother Zhou, please forgive me."

Zhou Lian didn't hear it, Zhou Lian didn't, the resentment accumulated for many years erupted suddenly, he couldn't hold it back, and said coldly: "Look at you, ten years have passed, can you kill your enemies with your own hands? Can you live and die?" What place? Have you lived well for even one day? You have made yourself into such an inhuman and ghost-like appearance, apart from having a higher level of cultivation, what else can you do?"

Every time he said a word, Shen Wu's face turned paler, and in the end, all the blood faded from his lips.After a long time, he whispered:

"Then what does that have to do with Brother Zhou?"

Zhou Lian stopped talking, as if he was angry with him.

Shen Wu moved a little bit, and was about to leave, but Zhou Lian said quietly: "Why are you angry, am I also doing nothing."

Shen Wu suddenly turned his head.

Zhou Lian was still sitting, but his eyes were fixed on him. Those eyes were as beautiful as before, but they were no longer as clear and bright as in Shen Wu's memory. They were less youthful, and there were other things that had settled down. Specifically, what is it? Wu didn't dare to take a closer look, and hastily looked away.

Only then did Zhou Lian get to the point, and said slowly, "I may not have seen Master for a long time."

Shen Wu immediately concentrated all his mind on this matter: "How long is a long time?"

Zhou Lian glanced at him: "Ten years." His eyes fell on a certain void in the sky, as if he was thinking about what to say, "I told you that that year I would wake up and it would happen. something?"

Shen Wu said: "No."

Zhou Lian chuckled: "That's right. Not long after I went back, I heard that the emperor had passed away. After a few days, the master left."

The string that was always tense in Shen Wu's mind immediately tightened: "Leave?"

Zhou Lian didn't know if he didn't notice his tension or something, so he nodded flatly and said, "Well, let's go."

"Before he left, he asked me to give him a message if I still had the fate to see you--I just said it. Besides, he asked that uncle to protect me and let me leave Stay away from Yun Xiechen." At this point, he seemed to find it funny, paused, and said, "But aren't they the same person, who can't tell."

Shen Wu still didn't express anything, he seemed to think of something again, and added: "Oh, when you left, you didn't have enough cultivation, you probably didn't notice it."

—Speaking as if he himself had seen through the truth early on.

At that time, he only felt that the appearance of these two people was somewhat similar, and Shen Wu, who really didn't see through the essence, had nothing to say.

But at least he understood, this "gone" was not the "gone" he mistakenly thought, and Gao Xuan's heart immediately put it back.

At least Zhou Lian met Chang Wuzi ten years ago, which is enough to prove that, at least, those ten years were not his wishful thinking and self-deceiving imagination.

After Zhou Lian finished speaking, he shut up. Shen Wu waited for a while, but he couldn't help but ask, "Did he say nothing else?"

"No more," Zhou Lian said coolly, "If you don't tell me anything, how can he tell me everything."

Shen Wu questioned himself, he was sure that if he did it all over again, he would make the same choice.However, this does not mean that his damage to Zhou Lian can be offset.Especially standing in front of Zhou Lian, looking directly at this real person, not what he imagined, those eyes that implied accusation overlapped with the pair of aggrieved and angry pupils in his memory in an instant. together.

He couldn't help lowering his eyelashes slightly, avoiding Zhou Lian's gaze, and said softly, "Sorry."

Zhou Lian's voice was flat, without any fluctuations in tone: "Do you have anything else to say to me?"

Shen Wu pursed his lips and remained silent.

Zhou Lian stood up and didn't stop until he was three inches in front of him. The distance was too close, and Shen Wu unconsciously leaned back.The eyes never looked at him.

Then Zhou Lian said magnanimously, "You don't have to apologize to me."

Shen Wu's eyelashes trembled slightly, followed by Zhou Lian's words: "I didn't die either."

As if he didn't need the response from the person in front of him, he continued on his own: "Of course, if I really died, you don't have to apologize."

He smiled sarcastically, and explained considerately: "I can't hear it anyway."

Shen Wu felt that he couldn't face him even more, so he lowered his head and accepted all the accusations against him.

But this was obviously not what Zhou Lian wanted. He raised his voice a little and said, "I mean you, is that a two-hundred-jin fat man on your neck or something? Can't you lift it up?"

So as if to prove that he had a handsome head on his neck, Shen Wu raised his head slightly, but it was obviously useless, the corners of his mouth were always tense, and there was no change from the beginning to the end.The only eyes that might have betrayed his feelings were hidden by his lowered lids.

Looking at it from Zhou Lian's angle, one can only see that his eyes are well-shaped, with beautiful arcs at the end of the eyes, and long eyelashes, casting a faint, fan-shaped shadow on the lower eyelid.

... This scene is so familiar.

Zhou Lian's face turned pale, and for a moment he wanted to grab his eyelashes and tell him to open his eyes, but in the end, based on the principle that adults don't care about villains, he suppressed this impulse and decided to give him one last chance, saying:

"Look at me."

Shen Wu slowly raised his eyelids, his gaze was very calm, the previous emotional fluctuations had been perfectly hidden by him, without leaving any traces.

Zhou Lian: ...how about giving him a beating.

He turned around and left, saying: "If you came all the way to anger me, then you can leave now."

Behind him, Shen Wu finally stopped pretending to be dumb, and said in a low voice, "Brother Zhou, why did you come to the world of comprehension?"

Zhou Lian didn't turn his head back, and blocked Shen Wu back with one sentence: "As a monk, shouldn't I come to the cultivation world?"

He talked more than ever before today, and he didn't think it was enough to stop people, so he added: "Don't worry, it has nothing to do with Master."

After a pause, "Everything is my own initiative."

The author has something to say:

Brother Zhou is the one who kills people and kills them.

By the way, I didn't set up senior brother Zhou with a poisonous tongue at the beginning, how can he make his own decisions?
