I plant love Gu for Xianjun

When the scene of Xiang Peeping finished changing again, the first character to appear on the stage became Ren Wuxin.

And Ren Wuxin was actually holding a small swaddle in his arms, and inside was a wrinkled baby, giggling.

"...Yanying?" Lian Zhu Xian immediately guessed the answer.

It turned out that Ren Wuxin picked up Yanying and went to Beast Heart Cliff secretly with Shang Wuyong on the same day.

Before the time came, the sky outside was still pitch black, and Ren Wuxin who was on the bed was suddenly awakened by a feeling of anxiety and heart palpitations, and couldn't go back to sleep.

He wondered whether this unreasonable heart palpitations meant some bad omen, so he wanted to ask Shang Wuyong next door if he felt similarly.However, just after sneaking a peek through the crack of the door, he found that there was no one on the bed.

After that, Ren Wuxin also left the inn and went out of the city to look for Shang Wuyong because she was worried that something might happen, but accidentally found Yanying in the mass grave and brought them back to the inn.

And Shang Wuyong, who came back from Beast Heart Cliff, also rushed back to the inn at sunrise.Facing Ren Wuxin's questioning, he only reasoned that he heard the sound of ghosts crying in the middle of the night, so he went around to check it out - Ren Wuxin didn't have any doubts about this.

Yanying's sudden arrival was obviously a variable, but it inadvertently brought the relationship between the two into a new and interesting stage.

Such a small baby, so delicate, has to be helped by adults when eating and drinking.Biyunjuli had never adopted an abandoned baby, so Ren Wuxin went to the town at the foot of the mountain to invite a nanny to take care of her.Of course, he himself is also very concerned about Yanying. As long as he stays on the mountain, he will run to the nursery hall all day long, and he will buy a bunch of clothes and playthings from various places and pile them in the house.

In the eyes of outsiders, Shang Wuyong, who has always liked children, also devoted extraordinary love to the lively and lovely Yanying.During that time, in the courtyard of Biyunju, he could be seen leading the little Yanying toddler from time to time—of course, Ren Wuxin often sat on the side.

This period of memory in Xiang Peep is full of sunshine from beginning to end.Perhaps this is also a rare and beautiful common memory between Shang Wuyong and Ren Wuxin.

It's a pity that the good times don't last long, and when Yanying gradually grows from a babbling baby to an eloquent child, the temporarily shelved differences between Shang Wuyong and Ren Wuxin are revealed again.

-

The next voyeur scene is another rainy day.In the water-logged courtyard, the green light of camphor tree leaves is reflected all over the ground.

Ren Wuxin put down the teacup in his hand, and revealed the main purpose of coming to Shang Wuyong today: "Aying has also reached the age to start writing, I want you to accept him as a disciple, how about it?"

Shang Wuyong's gaze never moved away from the account book in front of him, but he asked instead: "You picked him up, and you should be recognized as a master, why did you look for me instead?"

"It's because I picked it up, so I don't want to continue to take care of it." Ren Wuxin sighed, "It's not like you haven't heard those messy rumors that Aying was born to me and a woman from the mountain. Well, if I take him in as an apprentice again, I'm afraid Ah Ying will really treat me as his own father."

Shang Wuyong still didn't raise his head, but twitched the corners of his mouth: "Isn't it good? Ah Ying is so well-behaved, why don't you want a cheap son?"

"It's not that I don't want it." Ren Wuxin sighed again, "It's just that you know that my heart is not above these mortal worlds. One day, if I want to leave Biyunju, I'm afraid Ah Ying will be hit hard... Just like our master, although he accepted us as disciples, he left me and Yanlan to you to take care of most of the time, I think he also deliberately wanted to avoid forming an overly deep friendship with us."

From Ren Wuxin's point of view, these words were sincere and without any cover-up.However, in Shang Wuyong's ears, it fermented into some harsh sound.

He finally put down the account book in his hand, frowned and looked at Ren Wuxin: "According to what you said, the master accepted me as an apprentice and taught me carefully. It was because he didn't care about parting with me and didn't worry about making me uncomfortable? And you think , even if you don't take Ah Ying as your disciple, won't he be sad when you leave him?"

"No no, I didn't mean that..."

Knowing that she said something wrong, Ren Wuxin hastily defended: "Master may think that my fairy chance is far from arriving at that time, and I can spend a long time with you. Besides, didn't Master later hand me over to Yan Lan? Did you give it to you? He probably also hopes that you will gradually transfer your feelings for him to other disciples... I think that Ah Ying's petty temper is also not interested in cultivating immortals. You teach him well, he will definitely Won't--"

"I have never regarded you and Yan Lan as master's substitutes." The displeasure between Shang Wuyong's brows became more and more serious, "If Master dies in the Ming Dynasty, I will still feel sad and reluctant. And likewise, Yan Lan Ying won't lessen her feelings for you just because she takes me as her teacher."

Ren Wuxin still wanted to defend himself: "But Master said——"

"Ren Wuxin, if you want to talk about something, talk about yourself, don't use Master as a shield!"

Shang Wuyong pressed the brush in his hand on the case with a "snap", and finally exploded: "You have stayed in Biyunju for decades, do you know how many people regard you as siblings and family members? If you don’t want others to care about you, then you should be a bad person who hates gods and ghosts from the beginning, or just move to a deserted place, and don’t associate with people like us who are addicted to the world for the rest of your life. ?!"

The voice fell, and the room was dead silent.Not only Ren Wuxin, but even Shang Wuyong himself showed a shocked expression.

The sound of rain outside the house had been noisy for a long time before Ren Wuxin murmured, as if he wanted to say something: "Brother, I really..."

But Shang Wuyong rarely wanted to listen to Ren Wuxin's voice.

"Forget it, just leave me alone." He lowered his head but raised his hand, which was a helpless refusal.

Ren Wuxin, who also felt helpless, didn't say anything, just nodded, turned around and walked towards the veranda outside the house.

However, just when his figure was about to disappear in the rain, Shang Wuyong's voice chased him out from the dark study.

"Wait." He seemed to sigh heavily, "...Sorry, I was impulsive just now. I will be Ah Ying's master as you wish."

-

Just as Shang Wuyong had promised, a few days later, Biyunju held a small apprentice acceptance ceremony.Yan Ying, who was only four or five years old and still a small group, formally joined Shang Wuyong's sect and became Shang Wuyong's first and only disciple.

This seemed like a compromise between Shang Wuyong and Ren Wuxin, but what happened next proved that the entanglement between them would continue.

With Yan Ying's growth, the five-year agreement between Ye Zhangmen and Ren Wuxin finally ushered in the fulfillment period.

During these five years, Ren Wuxin has cultivated several successors as promised, and gradually entrusted various important tasks in his hands.Now, he was finally allowed to break away from all sect affairs and devote himself to the path of cultivation and inquiry.

And perhaps the conversation with Shang Wuyong on that rainy day had an effect, and Ren Wuxin's attitude towards the people around him has subtly changed.

He began to isolate himself deliberately, creating an invisible barrier, not only for Shang Wuyong, but also for Gu Yanlan and Yanying.

In fact, Gu Yanlan even complained bluntly that the second senior brother nowadays is more and more like a master, even when he is free, he seems to be wandering too far.It is almost worrying that he will suddenly disappear from this world without a trace.

It couldn't be more obvious that Ren Wuxin, who had been stagnant due to various factors, began to drift away on a completely different path from Shang Wuyong.

But only Shang Wuyong understood that the "culprit" who caused Ren Wuxin to flee at an accelerated pace was himself.

So this time, no matter what, he will not startle the snake again and reveal his true feelings.

Immediately afterwards, during this voyeuristic voyeurism, Shang Wuyong took out a delicate glass vial for the first time.Needless to say, the swaying black liquid inside was the venom extracted from the beast heart stone earlier.

"...So, Ren Wuxin was indeed poisoned by Shang Wuyong."

At this point, Feng Zhangjun could only sigh: "But since Ren Wuxin has been to Mani Temple and knows the secret of Beast Heart Cliff, can't he guess that it is caused by stone stasis?"

"I'm afraid I can't guess it." Lian Zhuxian said softly, "Aying is actually about the same age as us. Based on this calculation, the Beast Heart Cliff has already been destroyed at this time, and the stone stasis has been cut off. How could Ren Wuxin think of it?" , Shang Wuyong had already conceived this idea many years ago and made preparations in advance."

"Perhaps at the beginning, Shang Wuyong never thought that he would come to this point." Feng Zhangjun expressed his opinion: "That night, Shang Wuyong confided his obsession to Beast Heart Cliff. At least at that moment, he It should be hoping to get rid of the evil thoughts about Ren Wuxin. But those evil thoughts are like weeds, how can they be easily put down by facing the wall once."

Lian Zhu Xian heard the words and looked at him half-jokingly: "Do you sympathize with Shang Wuyong?"

"It's not sympathy." Feng Zhangjun shook his head, "To understand your companion, you must understand your opponent even more."

Regardless of the truth, the voyeurism continues.

From the day he took out the glass vial, Shang Wuyong began to poison Ren Wuxin in various ways without anyone noticing.

Ren Wuxin has long been bigu, but whenever Shang Wuyong comes to visit, or tea or wine, he will always drink a few cups.Shang Wuyong would often add stone stasis venom to these tea wines, just one drop at a time, tasteless and odorless, it would be diluted after a while without leaving any traces.

After that, things continued like the story of Gu Yanlan in the restaurant last night—Ren Wuxin's cultivation was worn away bit by bit, and he fell into a predicament of stagnation.Shang Wuyong took the initiative to care for Ren Wuxin, calm his emotions, and kept making indirect remarks, hoping that he would take advantage of the situation to dispel the idea of ​​continuing to devote himself to practicing.

At the same time, consciously or unconsciously, more and more people began to know that Ren Wuxin had encountered a "bottleneck".Soon, rumors of Ren Wuxin's "poor aptitude and unsuitable for cultivating immortals" spread in Biyunju, and even the young Yan Ying and her junior brother Gu Yanlan believed in it.

And this in turn stimulated Ren Wuxin.

The poison of stone stasis is extremely hidden.On the premise that he couldn't find any problems, Ren Wuxin had to seek some extreme measures to try to bring everything back to normal.

After learning about this, Shang Wuyong was worried that Ren Wuxin would hurt his body, and on the other hand, he was even more worried that he would break through the restraint of Shi Yu and break away from his control, so he began to strongly oppose and obstruct him.

This is an extremely chaotic voyeur scene, but even judging from those distorted and fragmented scenes, there have been no less than ten disputes, large and small, between the two.

But in the eyes of onlookers at the time, Shang Wuyong was always the person who valued affection, righteousness, and courtesy.But Ren Wuxin gradually lost his mind, and even became unreasonable.

Looking at it, Lian Zhu Xian straightened his back suddenly, took a deep breath: "...If I were Ren Wuxin, I would be driven crazy if I continued like this."

This sentence was not an exaggeration, because Ren Wuxin had indeed fallen into chaos.

On the one hand, he resented Shang Wuyong's opposition and obstruction everywhere, but on the other hand, he was confused and helpless, and instinctively sought Shang Wuyong's support and attention.

Two completely different emotions collided savagely in his heart, erupting with terrifying power enough to twist his soul.

The day when I became obsessed came quickly.

When he found Ren Wuxin's unremarkable body, Shang Wuyong staggered a bit, and barely held onto the door frame.

Even though he didn't say a word, or even show any expression, Lian Zhu Xian seemed to hear the most terrified, heartbroken, and remorseful and desperate screams.

The author has something to say: Shang Wuyong: I thought I was Master’s great apprentice, but I didn’t expect Master to treat me as a nanny

Ren Wuxin: I thought I was a brother's brother, but I didn't expect my brother to regard me as his wife

Gu Yanlan: I thought I was the most favored junior, but I didn't expect that I would be a villain

Yanying: I thought the master accepted me as an apprentice, but I didn't expect that the husband and wife divorced and sentenced me to my father!
