Ukiyo heave

The cave was really dark and cold, with water dripping everywhere.The driest place is in a corner, and the fire can barely rise.The damp wooden branches and vines ignited, crackling and exploding from time to time.

But Nian was afraid of the cold, and at this time his body suffered a lot of damage, and his ability to keep out the cold was even worse than before.As soon as he entered the cave, he began to tremble involuntarily.But just now it stopped suddenly, as if falling asleep.It's also possible... that he fainted from the pain.

Jiang Dong Shen pressed against his face, trying to transfer some of the warmth on his face to him.Sticking so close, the slight breath is all on Jiang Dongchen's face, which is fluffy and very reassuring.

When people are pushed to a certain point, or when the whole person is immersed in darkness and despair, the little things that usually seem insignificant are very reassuring.

Jiang Dongchen took out the medicine bottle and silk cloth from his sleeve, and gently wiped the sword wound on New Year's shoulder, then carefully spread his palm, folded the silk cloth, and wiped the blood more lightly.The wound beneath it was terrifyingly deep.

He was still asleep, and when the powder was sprinkled on the palm of his hand, Nian Qusheng shook violently.

Jiang Dongshen's heart ached, he gritted his teeth and sprinkled all the powder that should be sprinkled on.Tightly bandaging his palms, looking at Nian Qusheng who was still wrinkling his brows in pain while sleeping, he sighed reproachfully: "It hurts, it still hurts. I should let you take a good pain, long-term." Long memory, let's see if you will block the sword for me next time."

After tying the silk knot, Jiang Dongshen said to himself again: "You should not do things like getting hurt for me in the future. I'm just a bit angry by nature, and I don't like fighting. Besides, it's you Brother, I can't hurt him with a sword. It doesn't matter if I get hurt, your body is already like this, so why are you trying to be brave?"

Naturally, there was no answer, but Nian Kesheng's left wrist was shaking violently. Jiang Dongchen put his hand on it, but he shook it off again.Nian felt cold, and subconsciously hugged the body temperature of the people around him. Just as he slipped into Jiang Dongshen's arms, when he touched the wound, he let out a small "hiss" again.

The bonfire in front of him kept burning, heating up Jiang Dongchen's clothes, but Nian's hands were still cold.

There is a hole the size of the bottom of a cup above the cave, through which sunlight and moonlight can leak down.Jiang Dong counted heavily, and after a whole day and night, Nian did not wake up.

Later, the shaking of the hands gradually stopped, but the eyebrows were still frowned, but it didn't seem to be because of pain, it might be because of a nightmare, Jiang Dongshen didn't know.

It was just a feeling that his whole body was numb from being hugged by Nian Quesheng. He tilted his neck back slightly, his whole body was so sore, and he could even hear the spine crackling twice. He closed his eyes and wanted to be a little Xiaodi took a nap, which lasted only an hour, when he suddenly felt that a hand wrapped in white silk was vaguely holding his fingers.

Jiang Dongchen hurriedly lowered his head to look, met a pair of clear eyes, and said in surprise: "Are you awake?"

Nian Sheng looked tired and his voice was hoarse, but he still smiled and called, "Brother."

Jiang Dongchen hurriedly agreed, touched his forehead and said, "You are awake."

Nian Quesheng suddenly felt a burst of unexplained bitterness in his heart, mixed with the unfinished pain in his body, and finally he only said in a low voice: "I just slept for a long time, brother misses me so much?"

Jiang Dongshen only cared about being happy in his heart, and didn't even think about the meaning of the words "Nian but Sheng". He nodded and said, "That's natural. I not only miss you, but also worry about it. Do you have other pains in your body?" No?"

I'm afraid Jiang Dongshen wouldn't believe it if he said it didn't hurt, but Nian Kesheng didn't want to hide anything from him, and pretended to be very aggrieved and admitted: "Ah, brother, I can't do it anymore, my whole body hurts."

Unexpectedly, he believed all the people who lied to him in the past, but this time he didn't believe it. He pinched Nian Qusheng's face lightly: "Come on, I think you are in good spirits."

Nian Quesheng turned his head sideways and buried his head in Jiang Dongshen's lapel, which was no different from his usual behavior of taking advantage.But after a long time, Nian Quesheng suddenly said sullenly: "Brother, it's true... My heart hurts."

Below the heart is the core of the soul of a cultivator, from which the spiritual veins take root and spread throughout every meridian in the body.With the spiritual veins of both arms as the main trunk, the rest are small branches. ...Although it is small, it hurts terribly when it happens.Nian Quesheng's bloody wounds were not a serious problem. To Nian Quesheng, getting hurt was the same as not being hurt. How could he take such small wounds seriously? passed.After healing, even the wounds will not remain, and only the pain of the soul and spiritual veins is the long-lasting torture.

Can't dissipate, can't escape.No matter how high his cultivation level is, there is nothing he can do. If things go on like this, he will become disabled at least, and even die at worst.

But after all, Jiang Dongchen didn't know why his heart hurt. He frowned slightly, as if he had made a major decision after thinking for a long time, and said a little awkwardly: "Then... shall I rub it for you?"

But Nian Shengzheng was depressed, and burst into laughter when he heard the words, straightened his body and teased: "What's the use of rubbing, brother, you might as well kiss me."

Jiang Dongchen was hesitant at first, but now he was ridiculed again, his cheeks were slightly red, he bit his lip and stopped talking.Nian Quesheng saw how cute he was, and wanted to reach out to touch his face to see if it was hot, but Jiang Dongchen really lowered his head.Nian Quesheng was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled dazzlingly: "I really want to kiss you, let's say goodbye. My mouth smells like blood, brother, don't you think so?"

Jiang Dongshen quickly took out a small piece of pine nut candy from his sleeve, and put it into Nian Quesheng's mouth. The sweetness dissipated instantly, diluting the bitter bloody smell.

Nian Butsheng also smiled with candy in his mouth: "Brother still has candy on him?"

Jiang Dongshen nodded his head, but Nian Quesheng asked again: "Then what else are you wearing?"

Jiang Dongshen thought for a while, but didn't count them all, so he said a few things: "My folding fan, and the southeast branch, a piece of home clothes, some medicines, a few pieces of white silk, and some kinds of sugar... Anyway That is, after you taught me the transfiguration technique, I put everything I can pretend into my sleeves."

Nian Butsheng smiled: "Brother, why are you so cute?"

Jiang Dong sighed: "I'm cute again, why is this kind of word always used to describe me, how can I see it's appropriate?"

But Nian Sheng smiled without answering, raised his hand and said, "Come for a kiss?"

In fact, he didn't give Jiang Dongchen a chance to choose, and sat up with one hand, but thinking about confessing something to him later, he grinned his teeth in pain and didn't hide it when he sat up. ——Anyway, before Jiang Dongchen cared about him, he hugged him and kissed him.

Facts have proved that a person who takes the initiative, no matter how injured he is, is still the one who takes the initiative when doing this kind of thing.

In the end, Jiang Dongchen was so kissed that he couldn't help it, he backed up again and again, the back of his head hit the stone wall gently, and snorted.Nian Kesheng reluctantly stopped, and kissed all the way back along the corner of his mouth. While kissing, he suddenly remembered something, stepped back and met Jiang Dongchen's eyes: "Where is my sugar?"

Jiang Dongshen's eyes were still foggy, obviously he hadn't recovered, he frowned slightly and said, "What...what...?"

But Nian Sheng sighed, hooked his arms around his neck, lowered his head into the socket of his neck helplessly, and said sullenly, "Okay, you eat."

Only then did Jiang Dongchen realize that there was a piece of pine nut candy that had melted into a very small size on the tip of his tongue, and when it was rolled by the tip of his tongue, a sweet taste slid down the tongue and into his throat, which was extremely refreshing.

At this moment, Nian Quesheng suddenly said softly, "Brother, I'm sorry."

Jiang Dong Shen didn't understand why he was startled: "Excuse me?"

Nian Butsheng's face was a little pale, and his voice was weak, his tone was very soft but very clear: "There is one thing I have kept from you for a long time...I want to be honest, can you not be angry with me?"

This made Jiang Dongshen think back to the previous two nights, Nian Quesheng was also like this, with a soft voice, the whole person was pitiful, and asked cautiously: "If I do anything to sorry for you in the future, brother, you Can you not blame me?"

He was obviously a strong person at ordinary times, but when he asked such words, he became soft. Jiang Dong was soft-hearted, and when he saw Nian was promoted like this, he couldn't get angry at all.But he didn't know that the two words of Nian and Sheng were not the same thing, so he said like last time: "I said, as long as you don't like others behind my back, I will definitely not be angry."

But Nian said: "Brother, do you know about the spirit deed?"

Jiang Dongshen is also well-versed in poetry and books, so he knows it, but the spirit deed is a forbidden technique, and Jiang Dongshen can't know its details. He doesn't know why Nian Butsheng asked this, so he said: "I've heard of it. ,What's wrong?"

Nian Que said: "Spiritual deeds are mostly used for one person and one thing. Human spirits are used to suppress the spirits of things. Through spiritual deeds, spiritual sources are connected. In ancient times, many cultivators did not pay attention to their own spiritual power, but paid attention to the spirit of the sword. So There are some people who are opportunistic and connect their own spiritual power to the saber through the spiritual deed. From then on, when the saber is unsheathed, the spiritual deed is majestic, which is very enviable. In fact, the sword spirit comes from the human soul. The unsheathed If there are too many times, the sword master will die."

Jiang Dong said in a deep voice: "That's why the art of spiritual deeds has gradually become a forbidden art."

Nian Quesheng knew that his mention of Lingqi was too abrupt, and it was normal for Jiang Dongchen to not understand the reason, so he continued: "On the night of the first day of this year, my brother and I came home last year, do you remember that there is a scar on my left wrist? A knife wound?"

How could Jiang Dongshen not remember how long Nian Kesheng had stayed at Nian's house, and when he came back, he was covered in injuries of all sizes, each of which was more horrifying than the other, the most serious being the knife wound on his wrist, Located at the mouth of the spirit vein, Jiang Dongshen was about to ask him what he meant by this, but Nian Shengsheng said suddenly: "I once said that I used the dagger to draw it myself, and used it to draw the formation with blood."

Jiang Dongchen suddenly guessed something, but he didn't dare to think deeply, he just stared at Nian Quesheng without saying a word, afraid that his next sentence would confirm his guess.

There is no reason not to finish the conversation at the beginning, but Nian Qusheng felt a lot more relaxed. He sat up straight, crossed his hands through the silk cloth, bowed his head and said: "Brother is so smart, you should talk to me when I say this." I already understand, cut the wrist to take blood, use the blood as a medium, think that the spirit deed, the characters are all ready, and Bai Yueguang can be restrained."

Jiang Dong said anxiously: "But you!..."

But he couldn't say anything, Jiang Dong leaned against the wall, suppressing the sudden surge of fire and said in a warm voice: "You...why didn't you discuss it with me back then."

Nian Butsheng smiled, tilted his head and said, "I discussed it with my brother, can my brother let me go to suppress Baiyueguang?"

"But you don't have to be like this, there must be other ways, after all, there is no limit..."

"There is no other way, brother." Nian Quesheng interrupted Jiang Dongshen, "If Bai Yueguang continues to be restless, it will cause more and more dissatisfaction among the families, and the accumulation of soil will become mountains, and the wind and rain will rise. At that time, They still want to fight. Bai Yueguang's restlessness will cause many disadvantages. Sooner or later, they will find out who the source of Bai Yueguang's restlessness is. Of course, it is me. What Nian Keqing can guess, how can those suzerains not guess. ——Brother, do you know that about 100 years ago, there was a master of the immortal sect with the surname Wang on the other side of the Taoist sect, and they were also restless. .It caused resentful spirits and evil spirits to run rampant in a radius of [-] miles around Xuanmen, so the Wang family was strangled by various families. Brother, do you know who is the main force of the alliance?"

Jiang Dong lowered his eyes: "...Who?"

"The last suzerains of the Yuchi family and the Lin family were Yuchi Yinian and Lin Changying. The biggest beneficiaries were not these two, but the suzerain of the Nian family at that time. Most of the Wang family's immortal skills classics were collected in the Nian family's official book building. Among them are the Wang Family's Skilled Mountain Sword Manual, and the ancient remains of smelting immortal artifacts. After a generation, Nian Fenglin relied on the guidance of that book to practice the current Bai Yueguang."

But Nian smiled wryly and said: "It's another precedent for immortality to be restless. New and old hatred broke out together. And brother, if the other family really questioned why Bai Yueguang was restless, do you think I am a ready-made cover here? Nian Feng Ling won't lie and push all this to me?"

Nian Sheng didn't leave any space for Jiang Dongshen to reply, and continued to analyze: "Then, brother. Then it's not just a Nian family chasing me. It's ten, one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand families! If that's the case, how can I keep you? Brother, Nian Fenglin and your father are best friends, and now I'm being chased by the Nian family. He cares about your father's face and will never touch you. But if Yuchi's family also comes , the Lin family also came, and that group of little families came to investigate me. Who would consider you an innocent person? Who would care about how high your conduct is? There is no escape from this disaster."

"So, it's the best way to use my little price to fight for a fair overall situation. At least I won't hurt innocent people. I'm different from those in the Nian family. I have to do things... I am worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth."

After talking, Nian Kesheng still smiled, and joked to Jiang Dongshen: "Don't be so sad, at least for now, I'm fine now, don't sneakily pity me, love me...you don't want to be so sad... So I cried."

Jiang Dongshen endured it—he knew that Nian Quesheng should prefer to see him behave calmly, as if it didn't matter, and retorted: "Who cares about you, I just sigh that fate is too unfair to you."

But Nian raised his hand: "That can't be helped, life is not fair."

Jiang Dongshen stretched out his hand to hold Nian Quesheng's wrist, feeling the intertwined stagnant spiritual flow inside, and still frowned: "Then what will happen to your body... in the future?"

Will die, this kind of thing that involves the soul, what can I do but die when it is dragged to the end.But Nian said: "About... losing all spiritual power? Becoming a mortal? That's probably it."

Jiang Dong explored his spiritual veins thoughtfully, as if he was recalling, but he didn't know what he was recalling.After a while, he lowered his eyes and said, "Okay."

Nian Qusheng didn't understand what kind of complicated thoughts this good was carrying, but he could roughly guess that there was bitterness, heartache, grief and indignation, and sadness.In the end, thousands of words turned into a sentence that had to be accepted and could not be recovered: "Okay."

This kind of answer is very good, so brother, I hope that when you hear the news of my death, you can also accept it so plainly.

But Nian said: "I hope."

Jiang Dongshen suddenly hugged Nian Quesheng and comforted him by his ear: "Ordinary people are also very good. They get rid of those complicated things and become pure instead. What's more, with me here, there will be no one else." bully you."

But Nian Sheng smiled: "Ah, that's great, I have a backer. Brother, do you want to cover me?"

In fact, Jiang Dongshen would rather that Nian Quesheng could complain about it on his shoulder, rather than listen to his forced smile.When Nian Quesheng deliberately made his voice light and meaningless, Jiang Dongshen's heart felt sore that he was about to bleed.

But Jiang Dongshen couldn't show the anger and unwillingness in his heart, he was afraid that Nian Quesheng would see it and would blame himself.

Jiang Dongshen's hand slowly slid down from his left arm, and finally landed lightly on his spiritual vein, pinching it weakly, the spiritual power in it flowed very lightly, as if flowing through pebbles all over the bottom of the river The mountain streams are generally small.

No longer like the water of a great river, come from heaven.
