"Brother?" This address made Sword Master Wentian hesitate, his gaze was very cold, as if he was looking at a piece of equipment, but when he looked at the sword spirit, his gaze softened, "You never called him Master ?"

Mei Jiu still had a little baby fat on her cheeks, and her clear green eyes clearly reflected everything in the world, she nodded towards Sword Master Wentian.

"why?"

"That's what my brother told me the day I woke up."

The sword master and the sword spirit looked at each other for a long time, then heaved a long sigh, and took a step back, expressing his "regression" in this matter.

"I can persuade an unqualified sword-wielding person, but I can't persuade the sword spirit who has made up his mind long ago, and the elder brother of the sword spirit." The sword master showed a little pity on his face, "It seems that I have no chance."

Jiang Linchuan was articulate, but at this moment he remained silent, his eyes dark and complicated.

"However, there are some things I still want to say, and it would be a pleasure not to say them."

Jiang Linchuan used to be like a hedgehog with spikes all over his body, but now he restrained his thorns, cupped his hands, and changed his address: "Senior, please enlighten me."

"You must have heard of my name and my temper."

"Ah."

"If it wasn't for asking for the sword today, when I found out that you had gone into evil ways, I wouldn't have cared whether you were the descendant of that old guy of the Jiang family or the head of the Jiang family. I would have killed you by the sword."

Jiang Linchuan had no choice but to smile bitterly: "It seems that I want to thank Senior for his life-saving grace."

"I don't need these nonsense."

"Senior, let's just say it straight." Jiang Linchuan added in his heart: He said what price he would have to pay to act as if he hadn't seen or heard anything.

Jiang Linchuan flicked through his possessions in his heart, wondering what the Heavenly Sword Master would like.

Asked the sword master but said: "Why did you fall into the evil way?"

"Because I'm not strong enough." The reason is really common.

"Although the cultivation speed of the evil way is fast, there will be endless troubles. Although you have entered the evil way, the blood on your body is not heavy, and there is still room for recovery." Wentian Sword Master took a deep look, "It is better to give up and return to the right way."

"Easier said than done?"

"Break and then stand, why not?"

"If I abolish my cultivation, I will be a cripple again..."

Wentian Sword Master didn't notice the word "you", or didn't care, waved his long sleeves, and said solemnly: "If you want to fully control the immortal sword, you must take the immortal path, practice the way of the sword, and become immortal. Avenue, why do you need to take that single-plank bridge?"

Jiang Linchuan's heart moved slightly.

Wentian Sword Master's words were like a small stone, causing ripples in his heart.

"Could it be that you are still afraid of suffering, tiredness, and pain?"

Jiang Linchuan pursed his lips and shook his head.

"Since you're not afraid, why not try?" The last four words are particularly contagious.

Jiang Linchuan has practiced swordsmanship since he was a child. As a young child, he swung his sword thousands of times a day, and later swung his sword tens of thousands of times a day. He never dared to cry out in front of his ancestors.

He worked so hard not only because of the sternness of his ancestors, but also because of his father's expectations. The most fundamental reason was...he really liked the way of swordsmanship.

And now, Mei Jiu was beside him.

The whole body of Jun Jiujian is clear, if Jiang Linchuan uses it forcibly, the evil spirit will pollute the sword body.

If things go on like this, he will ruin Jun Jiujian and Xiao Jiu.

If he goes back to the immortal way, he will be able to completely control the immortal sword. At that time, wouldn't his strength be stronger?

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Linchuan lowered his eyes: "Senior, I understand."

The words have come to this point, it is useless to talk more, and the sword master Wentian is not a nagging person, after nodding, he glanced at Mei Jiu with regretful eyes, planning to leave.

Jiang Linchuan took Mei Jiu's hand from behind.

When Mei Jiu turned around, she met Jiang Linchuan's eyes.It was dark and deep, but clearly reflected Mei Jiu's face, those eyes were much gentler than others imagined.

"Let's go." Jiang Linchuan's voice was as low as a gust of wind, and after rubbing Mei Jiu's forehead hair, he walked towards the mortal market.

"and many more……"

"Senior, what else do you want?" Jiang Linchuan turned his head.

"Did you have a sister who married into Xu Lingbai's family?"

Jiang Linchuan was taken aback for a moment, and stared closely at the sword master in Zhu Yi holding the sword.

"Looking at your reaction, it should be." The sword master said lightly, "I have an old friend who was invited by Palace Master Xu Ling to live in Bai's house for a few days. After hearing a few gossips, he told me, see Here comes your sister."

That old friend is Xianhe Sanren who went to Taotie Tower with Sword Master Wentian this time.

At that time, Xianhe Sanren leaned on the recliner, crossed his legs, and gossiped with his friends: "I'll tell you something interesting."

Although Xianhe Sanren has the ambition of "leisure clouds and wild cranes, not to be disturbed by the world", his nature is very old-fashioned. Most of the interesting things in his mouth come from the mouth of a gossip - Wentian Sword Master is generally not interested.

However, Xianhe Sanren pointed at the void with his fan, and smiled like a fox: "It has something to do with that kid from the Jiang family."

"Say."

Wentian Sword Master is interested in Jun Jiujian, so naturally he is also interested in Jiang Linchuan.

"Mansion Master Xu Ling's flirtatious temperament, you also know this. He has gathered a lot of beauties around him. Although they have no status, some small requests of the people next to him will still be satisfied."

Wentian Jiaozhu became a little impatient, and his friend shook his fan and smiled: "Isn't there a servant next to him who is pregnant? The child is not his seed."

"It's boring."

"Hey, don't go, that pregnant little beauty is the older sister of the kid from the Jiang family."

……

Wentian Sword Master is not his good friend, doesn't pay attention to these things, and doesn't say much at this time, and directly said: "Your sister is about to give birth."

After saying that, he disappeared in place.

"..." Jiang Linchuan was a little confused for a moment.

But counting the days, his little nephew was indeed about to be born.

Jiang Linchuan thought about it for a while, and felt that Wentian Sword Master probably thought he didn't know about this and came to announce the good news to him specially, so he couldn't help chuckling, and whispered to Mei Jiu: "These immortals have weird tempers."

The earlobe was a little red from the breath, and Xiao Jiu gave a soft "um" in response.

"I won't hand you over to him. He's so boring. Xiao Jiu, it's not good if you follow him and become so boring."

Xiao Jiu quickly shook his head to show his innocence.

For the next whole day, Jiang Linchuan was in a great mood, not because he dismissed Sword Master Wentian, but because he understood what Mei Jiu was thinking.

From the moment he held Jun Jiujian, Jiang Linchuan knew that he was not suitable, but he would never let go.And now that he knows, even if he becomes a demon, Xiao Jiu still won't leave him.

No matter how nice it is to let others go, this young man is only willing to accompany him alone.

So, should he also respond to this dependence...return to the immortal way?

Looking at Mei Jiu inadvertently, Jiang Linchuan thought, it's not impossible.

Compared with the monk's market, although the mortal's market is somewhat dirty and smelly, it also has fun that the monk's market does not have.

There were many food stalls on both sides of the road. From time to time, hawkers selling candied haws and candied haws passed by. Jiang Linchuan pulled Mei Jiu through, and Mei Jiu had a few more bunches of candied haws and little candied haws.

There are no fairy artifacts, elixir, or spirit stones here, but exquisite ceramics, masks of gods and monsters, rouge gouache boxes...

There are also people selling chickens, ducklings and other livestock in several small baskets.

Mei Jiu squatted in front of a basket of yellow fluffy chicks, and poked them with her fingers.

Ordinary domestic animals don't have the intelligence of spirit beasts, so they can't detect Mei Jiu's aura. Vicious monsters will detour when they see Mei Jiu, but this little yellow chicken fiercely pecked Mei Jiu.

Mei Jiu looked at her fingers in surprise.

Jiang Linchuan covered his belly and laughed. The smile was contagious, and Mei Jiu followed suit.

Jiang Linchuan had had enough fun with Mei Jiu before returning to the Taotie Tower. At that time, many people had already left, only a few people were still picking up leaks on the first floor.

Ruosu blew three times with a shell, and the Flame Spirit Bird blew in response, dragged the chariot and stopped in front of them, and combed its blood-red feathers with its sharp beak.

"Master, please."

"Ah."

When Jiang Linchuan stepped into the chariot, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a person. It was a young man with vertical pupils because he was carrying a flying snake.

——Bai Jinzhen.

Logically speaking, Jiang Linchuan should call him brother-in-law, but Jiang Xiangyi didn't marry him voluntarily, and after marrying, he felt sorry for Bai Jinzhen, so the word "brother-in-law" is inappropriate.

However, Bai Jinzhen let Jiang Haiqin out just now because of his face. Jiang Linchuan still had to remember this favor.

After thinking about it, Jiang Linchuan raised his eyes and smiled: "Master Bai, thank you very much for today."

Bai Jinzhen paused, raised his head, and met his eyes.

Jiang Linchuan smiled all over his face, but Bai Jinzhen's face flashed with a complicated look. He nodded, and after responding, he took the lead to look away.

The Flame Spirit Bird spread its wings and flew high, leaving a burning red color in the clouds.

When I returned to Jiang's house, the full moon hung high in the sky late at night, and the frosty moonlight filled the eaves.

As the head of the Jiang family with little real power, no one paid attention to Jiang Linchuan's return. In the backyard pool.

It is estimated that they want to raise this young Jiao.

When Jiang Linchuan returned to his room, he heard someone saying: After dozens or hundreds of years, the head of the Jiang family will be able to travel on the imperial court.

After entering the yard, the hustle and bustle outside disappeared without a trace.

Jiang Linchuan sneered: "There is a nest of flame birds on the dead wood in the backyard, and a dragon in the pool. The flame birds and dragons are natural enemies of each other. I don't know what uncle thinks."

"Someone is probably guarding it." Ruosu replied with a smile.

"The flame spirit bird has been tamed a long time ago, but the dragon is still wild, so he is not so easy to serve. However, with my uncle's character, he will definitely not let the two beasts quarrel. I got out of the cage, and chained the dragon to the bottom of the water."

Speaking of this, Jiang Linchuan was disdainful: "I only summoned the flame spirit bird once this morning, and he was locked up at night, what a fool."

No one answered the phone, as if they didn't hear Jiang Linchuan's ridicule.

After all, Jiang Linchuan is the master, and they are servants. The master can scold the master, but they are afraid of being retaliated.

A guard came out from the corner, moved his mouth, and his voice directly entered Jiang Linchuan's ears.

A subtle look appeared on Jiang Linchuan's face. He waved his hand to signal everyone to step back, and led Mei Jiu up the stairs.

Under the shadow of the tall trees, I saw a mighty figure.

"Chuan'er."

It was the voice of Jiang Siyou, a branch of the Jiang family, who could barely be regarded as Jiang Linchuan's uncle.

The moonlight shines through the eaves, illuminating the wooden floor of the corridor brightly. Jiang Linchuan walked slowly while leaning on the railing, half of his body was immersed in the bright moon, his face was shrouded in a layer of snow, and his facial features were sketched out to be handsome and noble.

After a dispensable reply, he looked back and said with a smile: "I thought the first one to attack me would be my uncle Li who was humiliated in public, but I didn't expect it to be."

Mei Jiu sat on the railing, looked up at Jiang Linchuan, and listened carefully to what he said.

"That's right. If Uncle Li couldn't hold his breath, he wouldn't have been the temporary head of the family for five years and crushed others." Jiang Linchuan emphasized, "Uncle, do you think so?"

"I really underestimated you."

"Uncle, what are you looking for with your nephew?" Jiang Linchuan didn't go to the gazebo, leaned back, and leaned firmly on the lacquered pillar, "Let's talk about it first, next time remember to honor the head of the family, the name Chuan'er, but Only the ancestors can shout."

"Hmph!" Jiang Siyou snorted coldly, and stepped out of the gazebo, "Tell me, what conditions do you have?"

"Obviously I was the one who was assassinated, but my uncle lost his temper. If he is an elder, he has face."

Hearing the cynical voice, Jiang Siyou's face was hot, and he retorted: "The Jiang family doesn't want useless people. If you can't even escape a little assassin, you deserve it if you die."

"Then uncle, have you escaped?"

A light and fluttering sentence made Jiang Siyou pause.Naturally, that assassin couldn't hurt him, even if he became something neither human nor ghost, that corpse couldn't hurt him at all.

But he was careless for a while, and was bitten by the parasitic thing in the corpse, and he couldn't force it out no matter what.Jiang Siyou couldn't wait too long, if Jiang Li found out, Jiang Li would definitely not let this opportunity pass.

As a last resort, I can only come to Jiang Linchuan, the things belong to him, and he can always solve them.

The original anger was calmed down, Jiang Siyou used to be an elder, but now his tone was much calmer: "Chuan'er, you are the head of the family now, and there are many people who covet this position."

Jiang Linchuan glanced lightly and smiled lightly.

Under the frosty sky and moonlight, laughter is like dew dripping from the lotus leaves.

"I know what you're laughing at. That's right, I want this seat too. Since everyone wants it, why don't we join hands?"

Jiang Linchuan: "How about a combination?"

"You have the support of your ancestors, and you are the legitimate head of the Jiang family, so you are famous, but you have nothing but this title, and I have a certain amount of real power in the Jiang family." Jiang Siyou emphasized his tone, and hanged himself. There was a bit of shock in his eyes.

Jiang Linchuan bowed his head, his green hair fell down from his fair cheeks, and his voice was full of smiles: "So uncle is willing to cooperate with me, does that mean you have pity on me?"

"That's not true." Jiang Siyou slowed down his tone, "If I didn't know your ability today, I wouldn't come here, let alone mention it."

"What does uncle mean?"

"Join hands!" Jiang Siyou's meaning was very clear, the two of them joined forces secretly, to kill others first, or to suppress them, and when no one can threaten them, they will use their own abilities to fight to the death.

"In order to show your sincerity, you detoxified me from the Gu poison, and I will tell you a secret."

"Secret about what?"

Jiang Linchuan asked casually, but Jiang Siyou took out something from the universe in his sleeve.He held it up high, and the black iron-like thing was reflected in smooth patterns by the light.

Breathing stagnantly, Jiang Linchuan got up a little bit, staring at the things in Jiang Siyou's hand.

"Here you are." Jiang Siyou raised his hand and threw it out.

Night Breeze was cut open, making a whistling sound, and Jiang Linchuan quickly caught it.

It looks like a piece of black iron, but the tentacles are warm to the touch, and even a little hot when pinched for a long time.

——This is the scale of the fire unicorn.

Jiang Linchuan's father, Jiang Yan, has a horse, which is a majestic fire unicorn.When Jiang Linchuan was a child, he liked the fire unicorn very much, because it was more fierce than the dragon and more beautiful than the flame bird.

However, after the death of his father ten years ago, Huo Qilin disappeared.

"Do you have..." Jiang Linchuan's voice was erratic and cautious, "News about my father?"

Jiang Siyou was obviously satisfied with Jiang Linchuan's reaction, which gave him a feeling that he had grasped the opponent's handle and could hold this young man who had just been weakly crowned in the palm of his hand.

"Father, is he still alive?"

"How is it possible?" Jiang Siyou laughed, "If he is still alive, why would the longevity lamp enshrined in the Zongtang go out?"

"..."

"But I know how he died, and I also know the whereabouts of Huo Qilin."

Jiang Linchuan closed his eyes and frowned slightly, as if he was enduring pain.

Jiang Siyou continued his efforts: "Although Jiang Li did not do it, but he did it, how about we join hands and avenge your father?"

"I……"

"Patriarch, should you cure me of this Gu poison?"

"..."

Jiang Linchuan fell into a long silence, and asked in a low voice after a long time: "Uncle, you are not playing tricks, are you?"

Jiang Siyou saw his vacillation, and sneered, with the meaning of "believe it or not".

"Okay, I'll believe it once." Jiang Linchuan seemed to have made up his mind, and took out something from his arms, his fingers clenched tightly, as if he was a bit reluctant, but he didn't even look at it, and threw the thing out directly.

"Take this thing, and after three days, the light-returning worm will crawl out of your body...Uncle, should you say it?"

Under Jiang Linchuan's urging, Jiang Siyou smiled with satisfaction: "Your father had something in his hand at the beginning, which was what the Buddha wanted. I don't know the details, but Jiang Li passed the news of your father to the Buddha. "

"Futu Zun?" Jiang Linchuan repeated the name, he naturally knew who it was, it was a real demon, "And then?"

"After three days, I will naturally tell you."

Jiang Linchuan was startled.

"You don't believe what I said is true or not, and I don't know whether this thing is true or not." Jiang Siyou squeezed the "antidote" tightly, but his expression was quite relaxed, "After three days, we will see for ourselves."

"Patriarch, see you in three days." Jiang Siyou flicked the non-existent dust on his sleeves.

Jiang Linchuan froze in place.

In this quarrel, Jiang was still old and hot, Jiang Siyou got the "antidote", but Jiang Linchuan only got news that didn't know the truth.

Jiang Siyou, who had been grasped at the "key point", now instead pinched the opponent's lifeline and walked away.

When passing by Jiang Linchuan, half of his body was covered in the moonlight, and half of his body was hidden in the shadow. Jiang Linchuan moved, raised his hand, and covered his mouth and nose with his wide sleeves.

"uncle."

Jiang Siyou couldn't help turning his head.

A circle of silver moon light fell in Jiang Linchuan's eyes, and he said quietly: "That thing is only useful for living people."

"laugh."

Jiang Siyou sneered, he had heard too many threats and didn't take them seriously at all.

The sound of footsteps gradually faded away until it returned to nothingness.

In the courtyard, there is only the sound of rippling water waves blown by the cool wind, which makes people feel cool.

Jiang Linchuan lowered his head, with an unpredictable expression on his face, holding the scales of the fire unicorn with one hand, and holding on to the railing with the other.

Mei Jiu shrank her body, raised her hand, and gently grabbed a corner of Jiang Linchuan's sleeve.

The sleeves are made of excellent fabric and the patterns are exquisite. Mei Jiu blinked, and her voice was clear and soft: "Brother, isn't the thing you threw out just now my sugar man?"

"Ah."

"I haven't had a bite yet." Mei Jiu pursed her lips.

"I can't eat it."

"He smells so bad."

"The smell of rotting meat." Jiang Linchuan replied, putting down his hand covering his mouth and nose. The stench just now was blown away by the wind, and only the faint fragrance of lotus flowers was left. "I was touched by a corpse, so I can't eat it. I'll turn around I'll buy it for you again."

"Ah."

Jiang Linchuan laughed softly, the laughter was a little sarcastic, but also a little desolate: "It's ridiculous, he didn't even notice that he was dead, or...he didn't believe it..."

The backlight worm, which means backlight and reflection, is only useful for dying people or corpses.

The cloaked man's body had completed Jiang Linchuan's mission, and took advantage of Jiang Linchuan's unpreparedness to "kill" Jiang Siyou to death.

Jiang Siyou's cultivation base was naturally higher than that of the cloaked man, but he was not too defensive at first, and because the assassination of the Patriarch could not be known to others, he was alone.

After being seriously injured, Jiang Siyou counterattacked, directly smashing the cloaked man's body to pieces.

The light-returning worm crawled out of the foam, and got into the body of Jiang Siyou, who was still breathing.

"Back to the light" made Jiang Siyou stand up again. He didn't even know that he was dead. He just wanted to find Jiang Linchuan and get the so-called "antidote" so that he could live.

Probably because he was drilled into his body by the light-returning worm while he was still breathing, so Jiang Siyou could say he could run, as if he was a normal person.

But the effect of the light worm is only one day.

Now half a day has passed, and only half a day is left.

Mei Jiu approached Jiang Linchuan, wondering: "But if he dies, won't my brother be able to know that secret? My brother should really want to know."

"Of course I want to know, but he's just pretending to be mysterious. The one who really knows about it is probably my uncle Li." The body trembled uncontrollably, "If you want to ask, ask uncle."

"..."

"It turns out that my father's death was not an accident..."

"elder brother?"

Mei Jiu held Jiang Linchuan's hand in both hands, trying to warm her, with a worried look on her face.

"It's okay." Jiang Linchuan twitched the corners of his lips, wanting to smile, but he couldn't help but give up, turned his head and repeated, "It's okay."

The night was long, so Jiang Linchuan leaned against the lacquered pillar all night, not saying a word, not knowing what he was thinking.

Mei Jiu sat on the railing, quietly accompanying her.

Until the sun rises, baking the filth of the night in its harsh light.

Jiang Linchuan stood up, his boots made a slight sound on the wooden board, and Mei Jiu was awakened by the sound.

The people around him smoothed out the wrinkles on their clothes, and walked with gentle steps.

Mei Jiu hurriedly jumped off the railing, ran after him, and then held Jiang Linchuan's fingertips, which were so light and soft, as if they could hold her for a lifetime.

When walking through this corridor, the servant hurried over and knelt down in front of Jiang Linchuan and the two of them.

He reported two things to Jiang Linchuan—both funerals.

First, Jiang Siyou, a branch of the Jiang family, died in the secret room.

It is said that Jiang Siyou's wife smelled a strong stench, so she opened the secret room in his room. This secret room was originally used for retreat and cultivation, but it became Jiang Siyou's burial place.

But one night, the corpse was severely decomposed, and there were pieces of meat hanging on his white skeleton. It was completely impossible to see his majesty when he was alive, and he didn't know whether his expression was peaceful or ferocious when he died.

Strangely, the corpse held a small sugar figure that had half melted in its hand, as if holding a life-saving straw.

The second thing is...

The servant said: "Patriarch, the eldest lady... has passed away."

"..."

Jiang Linchuan swayed and raised his hand to his temple.

The originally indifferent and calm look loosened, as if countless cracks had opened on the ice.

For a moment, he thought it was retribution.

He used the back light worm to control the cloaked man to kill Jiang Siyou's retribution.

One life for one life, Jiang Xiangyi for Jiang Siyou.

But, it shouldn't be counted like this...

Didn't Jiang Siyou want to kill him?He just fought back, and even at first he didn't know who was standing behind the cloaked man.

Noisy voices came from all around, reaching his ears, but not reaching his heart. Jiang Linchuan had no idea what they said.

I just thought: to get to the bottom of it, it's just that I can't keep my sister.
