Liaozhai Liaozhai Ningguan

The sky in March in Yangchun is brisk and not dull. It is the time when spring returns to the earth, and the drizzle is continuous.

A frail scholar in a yellowish white shirt walked into the academy with a heavy bookcase on his back. When he reached the stone steps at the door, he took a long breath, put down the bookcase gently, and wiped the sweat from his cheeks. It was extremely difficult to get up.

"Are you a student studying at the Academy?"

The scholar nodded reflexively.

"Let's go, I'll give you a ride." The young man in Jinyi carried his bookcase on his back effortlessly, and walked towards the academy holding the scholar with one hand.

The scholar is a bit cramped, the person in front of him is dressed in bright clothes, the simple hairpin with his hair is exquisitely crafted with engraved silver, and his demeanor is gentle.

Their identities are too different, and they don't know if they will work hard in their studies in the future and have the opportunity to stand side by side with the people in front of them, the scholar thought.

After meeting with the teacher, the master appointed this son to lead the scholar to take care of the sleeping quarters.

The scholar looked at the young man, and he could vaguely hear the words of the master, such as being gentle and decent, knowledgeable, good relationship, and asking for advice.

Walking on the way to the house in the backyard, the scholar closed his mouth nervously, not saying a word, feeling sorry for his clumsiness and shyness in his heart.

"It seems that we will be classmates from now on. My name is Jingyou. I don't know what to call my junior brother?" Jingyou broke the deadlock.

"Chayuan." Chayuan was a little disappointed, this seemingly gentle brother must have not listened carefully to what Mr. said just now.I don’t know when I heard about it, but the kind of person who is very gentle and not affectionate towards everyone is more indifferent than anyone else in his heart. Maybe this brother Jingyou is the reason why he is not careful. Introduction, is it because you don't deserve too much attention?Now what does that mean?

"It turns out that you are Chayuan. I heard Mr. Dongwen tell you about you. When I saw you today, you are indeed a handsome man, full of bookishness. What is the number of your dormitory?"

"The room with the word 'Tibetan'." Cha Yuan was even more disappointed, was it because he didn't even remember the room number?

Jing Youzuo smiled brightly: "Hey! We are destined not only to meet each other, but also to be roommates."

Cha Yuan echoed with a smile, his eyes were a little more alienated: "Really?"

Having been in the academy for some time, Chayuan gradually got used to the life in the academy.

The sun moved westward from the scorching sun, and the sky was bright and bright, shining into the dormitory. Cha Yuan sat by the window, reading a book silently, but at this moment he couldn't calm down at all, and the hunger in his belly became stronger and stronger. He kept repeating in his heart that "heaven will send a great responsibility to the people", and he sat withered for an hour without turning a page, extremely embarrassed.

Just in time, Jing You came into the room carrying a laminated food box.

"Junior Brother Chayuan, the grandma who took care of me since childhood prepared a few extra dishes today, if you don't help me share one or two, I'm afraid it will be wasted."

Chayuan swallowed his saliva, thinking he was insignificant: "Senior brother, don't want me to be a donkey, how can there be such a coincidence in the world?"

"Just pretend it's not a coincidence. It's my senior brother who deliberately planned to bring my junior fellow here." Jing You took away the book in Chayuan's hand, forcefully put the food box on the small table in front of Chayuan, leaned over and said, "I'll watch you I didn’t eat anything yesterday, and today I haven’t even eaten a grain of rice, it’s because of my good intentions.”

Saying that, Jing You neatly pulled out the plain porcelain dishes and chopsticks, and set them up, two sets of bowls and chopsticks for two people.

Chayuan thanked him and had dinner with Jingyou. (The ancients had two meals a day, after noon, before evening was called evening food)

He eats and sleeps without talking, and Chayuan's thoughts can't help but drift away. According to his observations these days, Jingyou is indeed the kind of character that everyone seems to be gentle, but in fact everyone is distant and silent.Jingyou doesn't care about other people's personality, thinks about herself like this, pays close attention to what she has eaten, carefully prepares porridge and side dishes, not only takes care of her hungry and fragile stomach, but also takes care of her own senses.

Chayuan thought about it and thought that he had heard people say that people with this kind of character, if they are interested in someone, pay more attention than ordinary people, whether they are special to Jingyou, in fact, this kind of personality is also good, and so on.

Thoughts were flying wildly, and before I knew it, the table had been swept away.

Jingyou pushed the bowl and chopsticks in his hand towards Chayuan.

"Senior Brother, I brought the food box. Now it's time for Junior Brother to pack it up and help deliver it to Grandma who is waiting at the back door of the academy."

Since then, the two have had the normal state of eating together in silence, and the accumulation of time has added a certain kind of aura of harmony between the two.

The moonlight faded behind the light clouds, and the light was hazy and dim.

"How could you be like this?" The old man with a blurred face was sitting upright on the grand master's chair, vaguely showing the charm in his memory, but it seemed that he wasn't.

"Sir, listen to my explanation."

"Hey, I'll edit a book and recommend you to a foreign land."

"No, sir, obviously, obviously..."

"Sir! Sir!"

Sitting up in shock from the dream, Chayuan's forehead was still covered with a thin layer of sweat, the corners of his eyes were red, and his brows were tightly frowned. After panting and breathing, he bit the corner of the quilt hard, tears Rolling down, a low and suppressed whimper came out of his throat.

The pain of being indifferent and criticized, the pain of being far away from home and not being able to return, the saddest thing is the decision made by a teacher like a father, how can unwillingness and resentment disappear easily.

"Junior brother? Chayuan?" Jing You called softly.

Chayuan suddenly woke up from the state of being immersed in pain.

He wiped the tears off his face casually, it is embarrassing for a man to cry, not to mention he was hiding in the quilt and weeping secretly at night, and was caught by his roommate.

He took a deep breath and tried to speak in a calm tone.

"Brother, did I wake you up?" His voice was hoarse with a slight nasal sound.

"Sick of home? Or having a nightmare?" Jingyou's voice was soft.

Chayuan was silent, because of these two reasons, no matter which one made a seven-foot man cry and lose his voice, it was extremely disgraceful.

Jingyou chuckled, got up and rolled up the mat and threw it on the open space between the two couches, and stretched out her hand towards Chayuan.

"sleep together?"

Cha Yuan's eyes were full of astonishment.

"When everyone is vulnerable, it will be much better if someone shares weal and woe." Jing You said.

Cha Yuan also threw down the mat, and Jing You took it, tidied up the mat and pillows, and a simple sleeper was formed for the two of them to sleep comfortably together until dawn.

Then the two took the thin quilt and lay down together.

In the darkness, Cha Yuan felt a hand with sharp bones stretched out from the other side of the quilt, and fumbled to hold his hand.

Cha Yuan felt that his hand was burning hot, and the ironing heat burned all the way from the palm of his hand to his heart, and finally turned into a barely audible "thank you" in the night.

The icy coldness that didn't match the warm current pierced into his mind sharply, and what Cha Yuan kept playing before his eyes was a painful memory of making his chest and abdomen do evil.

He was separated from his parents since he was a child, and Mr. Mo adopted him.

Everyone doesn't know what Mr. Mo's name is, but he is the teacher of that run-down school that doesn't look bright, and his surname is Mo.

Mr. Mo has no family, and he is alone with his only son, Mo Yi, and an oil bottle, Chayuan.

Cha Yuan and Mo Yi grew up together in the academy. To be honest, Cha Yuan didn't like Mo Yi at all. In Cha Yuan's eyes, Mo Yi was a moody person. unbearable.

As the two got older, Mo Yi's temper restrained a lot, and the two maintained a lukewarm brotherly relationship.

I just didn't expect that one day Mo Yi would suddenly tell Cha Yuan that he was happy with him, and use a poem.

"This is the third part of Ruan Ji's Huaiyong poem. It is said that Ruan Ji and Ji Kang are Longyang's partner. This poem describes their cohabitation life." Mo Yi said, "Chayuan, do you understand?"

Cha Yuan didn't understand, and didn't want to understand, this was too bad a joke for him, what should Mr. Mo do, what should he do?

Then that happened, Mo Yi forced Cha Yuan.

Mr. Mo knows.

In the old days of prosperity, Anling and Longyang were full of peaches and plums, shining brightly.Yueze is like nine springs, rock analysis is like autumn frost, looking forward to be charming, talking and laughing fragrant; hand in hand and waiting for love, sleeping in the clothes of the past moon, wishing to be a bird, soaring together with wings; the painting is a vow, never forget each other.

Chayuan's pupils constricted.

"If you are not an animal, you will never get it. If you do not aim at benevolence, you will be humiliated all your life."

"Chayuan, don't be distracted."

"Yes... sir." Cha Yuan hurriedly clipped back the note that fell out of his book, and concentrated on listening to the teacher's lecture.

At noon, the day's schoolwork is over.

As soon as you enter the small courtyard on the left, there is a plum tree with scattered and strong branches. Under the tree is a large bluestone that was polished smooth by the predecessors.

Dressed in a white and embroidered shirt, with a jasper crown and hair tied, she sits cross-legged on the bluestone under the tree, closing her eyes, not knowing whether she is meditating or taking a nap, or rather, waiting for someone.

"Senior brother..." Seeing that the person he was looking for was indeed here, Cha Yuan lost his usual joy, and his eyes became more apprehensive.

"Senior brother can lend me the book, I am very grateful."

"Did Junior Brother come to return the book on purpose?"

"I..." When Cha Yuan was hesitating, Jing You's eyes narrowed slightly, with a vaguely frightening look.

"Brother, I haven't finished transcribing this book yet, can I borrow it for another day?"

"It's okay."

"Thank you, Senior Brother, then... Junior Brother will leave."

"Chayuan."

Cha Yuan's walking steps paused slightly, and he turned around stiffly.

"I don't know if there is anything else for advice, brother?"

"Books, you have to study them carefully, Cha Yuan, Junior Brother."

"...Thank you brother for reminding me, brother has been taught."

Chayuan hurriedly walked, as if running away, heading towards a direction that he didn't even know, he only knew that he should stay away from the source of troubles, a little further away.

The food on the table was cold, the sky was dark, and the person at the table was still alone.

When all the routine homework was completed under the dim lights, Cha Yuan still didn't come back.

Jing You lay on the couch with her clothes together, her gaze was directed at the door in the dark.

Finally, Cha Yuan came back, and he brought the frosty cold outside, diluting the warmth of the room.

"Why did you just go back to your room now?"

"Brother?" Cha Yuan found Jing You on his couch.

"Why did you just go back to your room now?"

"I……"

Cha Yuan was caught off guard, and was dragged onto the couch by Jing You, and immediately pressed his hot lips up, rubbing his cheeks all the way to the corners of Cha Yuan's lips, licking them bit by bit, sticking out his tongue, and slipping into Cha Yuan's mouth, With his chin pinched and his hands pressed down, Cha Yuan could only struggle like a dehydrated fish.

It was the first time that Chayuan felt Jingyou's tongue was so powerful, it was stirring in his mouth, teasing his numb tongue.

Unpleasant memories flooded in his mind, his thoughts were extremely chaotic, and it was as if Jingyou was whispering in his ears, "The prosperous sons of the past, Anling and Longyang, Yaoyao peach and plum blossoms, burning with brilliance."

Chayuan couldn't care less, taking advantage of Jingyou's unpreparedness, he pushed up his knees and bumped into Jingyou's object, he was so weak with his strength, but Jingyou let out a cry of pain and loosened his strength.

Turning over, Cha Yuan quickly got up, supported his paralyzed body, and stumbled out the door.

The evening wind in the dark night is cold and cool, as if one by one sharp and fine needles are stuck on the body, especially the swollen head, the open heart that is half sincere and half cold, the indescribable feeling is choked in the throat Out of the corners of the eyes, there were disorganized sobs and tears.

Before I knew it, I came to the small courtyard where Jin Jingyou lived, with plum trees and blue stones.

The moment the hand touched the bluestone, it became numb, cold, really cold.When Cha Yuan climbed up, the cold penetrated through the thin material, making his whole body curl up and shiver.

The hand hit the stone, and the blood dripped down the hand that was frozen and unconscious.

Over-sharp memories and dull thoughts lighten up, and the world plunges into darkness.

"Sir, junior brother got up last night and fell down. When I went to look for him, I saw him lying on his back in the cold night with some injuries on his body. I hurriedly brought him back."

"Well, you go to school with me first, don't forget your homework, and when Cha Yuan wakes up, he will ask you to tutor him."

"Sir, the doctor said that he is in a critical moment with a high fever. If I don't wait for my junior to get over the difficulties, how can I study with peace of mind?"

"The caretakers have their own caregivers, how can you be by your side at all times."

"Sir...you know me best. I'm not the kind who steals, cheats, or deals with schoolwork. I want to stay, and I have the idea of ​​staying....Read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles, I am an honest friend Once, it is much more meaningful than the words in the book."

"Forget it, don't argue with you, the disciple who has been elected as the head of debate in the academy, it's up to you."

Finally, I opened my eyes a little, and the golden light reflected in the still blurred vision, the most accessible brilliance before sunset, the dazzling lines wrapped around everything that exposed itself to the sun, ordinary plants and trees, Bricks and tiles can also emit light, the natural light of heaven and earth.

"Senior brother?"

Cha Yuan withdrew his thoughts, and looked at Jing You with his eyes wide open.

Jing You was still wearing the brocade shirt that Cha Yuan had before he fainted, her broken hair was messed up, and her eyes seemed to be gray.

"Master...brother?"

"Don't talk yet, drink a cup of warm water."

Cha Yuan took the teacup obediently, he had never seen Jing You like this before, is he really so important to the other party?

"Junior Brother, wait a little longer. I asked Grandma to get the porridge. You haven't eaten for more than a day and a half. You must be hungry."

Saying that, Jing You leaned forward, and Cha Yuan reflexively wanted to back away, but Jing You's arms were tightly wrapped around her, Jing You's slightly cool cheeks pressed against Cha Yuan's forehead, Cha Yuan was inexplicably relieved, and a little bit lost .

Chayuan was ill for five days, five days, he figured out a problem, made a decision, let go of a memory for the time being, but he didn't expect that what greeted him was not what he wanted.

Chayuan was left in the study by his husband from noon to sunset, and finally regained a new life from the tedious sea of ​​studies. Before he could take a good breath of the fragrance of grass and trees, which was different from the study filled with ink fragrance, Chayuan found that Jing Yu gone.

These days, Jingyou is usually left by her husband with her, or she must wait quietly outside the study, and give Chayuan a gentle and gentle smile the first time she sees him.

But today, no.

Searching all the way into the academy, I finally saw that familiar figure, before I got close, I heard a woman's voice.

"Brother Jingyou, when will you be hired?"

"Come on, mother said that the fifteenth day of this month is an auspicious day."

"Marriage is very troublesome. There are so many rules, such as betrothal gift, you have to wait for the date. It took a lot of time. I just want to go to your house as soon as possible and be your wife's beautiful lady. "

"Ah."

Chayuan's whole body seemed to be frozen.

That's... Jingyou?What the hell are they talking about?

Cha Yuan calmed down, stepped back a little in the opposite direction, pretended to have just discovered Jing You and the girl, and trotted over, smiling.

"Brother Jingyou, why are you here? You can make it easier for the younger brother to find. Hey, I don't know who this girl is, how did she get into the academy?"

"My cousin, Yan Huai."

Yanhuai saluted lightly, and Chayuan returned it with his hand.

"I'm here to see my family, so it's natural to get in." He spoke with great confidence, and his posture was so polite that he couldn't feel the slightest resentment.

This is an excellent girl who might be the best match for Jingyou, Cha Yuan thought.She has a good appearance, a pair of eyes are bright and clear, her lips are painted with lipstick, delicate and bright, there is a little flower between her eyebrows, and flowers from distant mountains are everywhere.The most important thing is that she speaks and dresses well, and Jing You is the most well-matched woman.

It only takes one reason to defeat Chayuan's defense line that has been built for a long time.

"Yan Huai, you go back first, it's getting late, send my regards to parents and uncle."

"Brother Jingyou, I see. Go and do your work. I have servants to escort me all the way. Also, tomorrow is my birthday."

Jing You nodded, and dragged Cha Yuan to their house.

"Junior Brother, listen to my explanation."

Cha Yuan was overjoyed, and almost tensed up the expression on his face that he didn't care.

"Senior brother, what do you need to explain to the younger brother?"

"You... really don't care?"

Cha Yuan hesitated, but still wanted to "make things difficult" for Jing You.

"Senior Brother, what should Junior Brother care about?"

"I care... yes, you didn't even give me a response..."

"Brother? What did you just say? I didn't hear clearly."

Chayuan really didn't hear clearly, but when it fell into Jingyou's ears, it looked completely different.

"It's good that junior brother doesn't care. Junior brother went out because of my unconscious transgression. Unfortunately, he was seriously ill. I took care of junior brother when he was ill. Now we are in debt."

Brother silly, do you still want to pretend?Or do you want me to express my heart more solemnly?

Exhaling quietly, Cha Yuan said slowly: "Fanhuazi in the past, Anling and Longyang..." I would like to make a vow with my brother Danqing that we will never forget each other.

Before he finished speaking, Jing You interrupted him.

"I'm really sorry, senior brother borrowed your book before and actually clipped it in. When I read the book, I saw that the poem was good, so I copied it down. Junior brother, don't misunderstand it, it's a joke."

"Don't... get in the way."

These reasons sound correct, like the truth, or they are true at all, the note is just an accident, Jing You may only think it is a love poem between a man and a woman, a kiss is unconsciousness, and inseparable in illness Abandoned care is conscience, I should not care about it, it is best to forget it completely, don't mislead me because of a past memory and my sexuality, make up ridiculous stories, let myself laugh and cry indulgently, just like a...fool...

"By the way, the book is still in the hands of the younger brother. If the younger brother has not finished using it, he can continue to keep it. But can you give me the note? Tomorrow is Yanhuai's birthday. She will be happy with this poem and a gift."

"No need, senior brother take it back together, I just forgot to return it." Instead of hesitating about the response of this relationship.

"It's getting late today, I'll leave after class tomorrow."

"Oh." In fact, I really hope that you will forget this poem when you wake up from the dream, keep the note, and continue to give me an illusory dream.

There are several hills behind the academy. The scenery on the hills is particularly beautiful, and is most loved by the students of the academy.

A pigeon with a white body and gray feathers is walking through the mountains, with small black eyes dripping from its retractable head, it looks extraordinarily clever. If you look closely, it has wooden rings on its paws and is tied to a small wooden tube. This is a pigeon. homing pigeons.

The young man hiding behind the tree waited patiently, with a slingshot and a few stones in his hands.

The pigeon landed on a branch not far away, and was frightened by the bouncing branches up and down, so it clung tightly to the wooden branch it had grasped.

Just in time.

The young man calmed down and raised his slingshot.

The first stone rubbed past the pigeon, and then the young man hurriedly added another blow. The stone hit the wooden barrel like a miracle, and knocked the wooden barrel down. The pigeon was frightened, flapped its wings and flew away.

Youth is Chayuan.

He stood in front of a pool of mountain springs, and the wooden tube happened to fall into the spring water. The spring water was not big and flowed downhill. The spring was supported by jagged stones and hidden in a corner of the tree-lined mountain forest.

"Brother's letter..."

He wanted to catch the pigeon, but the pigeon ran away.

Jingyou's words suddenly popped up in her mind: "Tomorrow is Yanhuai's birthday, she will be happy with this poem and gift."

This poem... the prosperity of the past, Anling and Longyang, peach and plum blossoms, burning with brilliance.Yueze is like nine springs, rock analysis is like autumn frost, looking forward to be charming, talking and laughing fragrant; hand in hand and waiting for love, sleeping in the clothes of the past moon, wishing to be a bird, soaring together with wings; the painting is a vow, never forget each other.

Every word attracts Chayuan.

"I grew up in the south since I was a child, and my water skills are excellent. It's just a bit difficult to find a small wooden cylinder in the water. If you pay attention, it might work. But is the paper stained with water still visible?"

In any case, he wanted to search for it, wanted to monopolize all the affectionate words and phrases of the other party, and treasured them one by one.

The spring water was much deeper than expected. Cha Yuan threw off his obstructive robe and dived down. Just as he was about to find him, a woman's cry for help suddenly sounded in his ear.

Chayuan surfaced and saw that the person calling for help was actually an acquaintance, Yan Huai, and she was still holding tightly the target that Chayuan was looking for, the small wooden barrel.

Chayuan had no choice but to swim in the direction of Yanhuai.

That direction is the outlet of the spring water, and the more he went in, the more he felt the rush of the water, Cha Yuan managed to hold Yan Huai, but Yan Huai broke away suddenly, and was carried away by the current.

Cha Yuan chased after the water, Yan Huai's water quality was very reluctant, he could only thrash and be passively carried by the current, ups and downs, the situation was not optimistic.

Chayuan suddenly understood the reason why Yan Huai broke away from her. Yan Huai saw that she was shooting pigeons, so she went into the water to get the wooden barrel, but because of poor water quality, she could only call for help.

At this moment, Chayuan wanted to give up saving people, and if he didn't, he died. No one knew that the accidental death was his fault, Jingyou would not know about his pigeon shooting, and it was impossible for Jingyou and Yanhuai to get married.

"Yanhuai!... Chayuan?"

It's Jingyou.

He was led by a young maid, and rushed all the way to the water. He presumably was Yanhuai's personal maid. Because she couldn't swim, she went to the academy to find a helper.

Without giving Cha Yuan another chance to think about it, Jing You took off her wide-sleeved shirt neatly, entered the water to support Yan Huai.

"Follow me." He said to Cha Yuan, and after finishing speaking, he swam back to the shore with Yan Huai in his arms.

At that moment, Chayuan was desperate, because at that moment, Chayuan's left foot failed, which would undoubtedly be fatal to those who were still in the water.

Jingyou didn't see it, he didn't notice the strangeness in himself at all, he just saved his fiancée and left.

Chayuan thought as he sank into the water.

When he woke up, he was in the room, the small room in the academy that belonged to the two of them alone.

"Where's Senior Brother Jing You?" These were the first words Cha Yuan said when he woke up.

"If you're going back to your son, Mr. and Miss of the Academy are taking people along to find Master Biao." Standing by the bed was a strange boy named Master Jing Youbiao, who should be from Yanhuai. He said to find Master Biao. You, she was lying in the academy intact, but Jing You disappeared, that is to say, in the end Jing You came back to save herself, regardless of Jing You's own consequences.

"Any news?" Cha Yuan tried his best to keep his voice calm.

"If you go back to the son, there is nothing."

Chayuan has been lying on the bed, during which Mr. Dongwen came to ask for details, Chayuan only said that he saw Yanhuai calling for help, and went to save others, but he didn't know that he had a health problem halfway, and Jingyou was also implicated.

After lying down for two days, the only people he saw were Mr. Dongwen and the boy, who would come to pour some soup and porridge for Chayuan every day, but there was no one there at other times.

Chayuan can only lie on the bed, constantly thinking about Jingyou and every little thing about getting along with Jingyou, tossing and turning.

When we met for the first time, I only felt that this person had a cold temper, and it was difficult to get close to him. I didn't expect that he cared about me and took care of him everywhere. I hate that I don't know it.

I still remember that the two of them sat opposite each other on a small table and had evening meals together. Now that I think about it, Jingyou has been paying attention to the dishes she likes, and specially adjusted them, even if they don’t match Jingyou’s taste.

I am stuck in the bad memories of the past, often have nightmares at night, Jingyou proposes to sleep together, the warmth of the generous five fingers is heart-wrenching in retrospect.

Now he is safe, but Jing You is nowhere to be found, but he is still safe, and in the end this person sacrificed his life to save him.

If it wasn't for that incident, he wouldn't be so hesitant about Jingyou's feelings, but because of that incident, he and Jingyou had the chance to get to know each other.

After all, it is good fortune to trick people.

On the third day, the weather was not good, the sky was gloomy, and lead gray clouds piled on top of the dome, as if foreshadowing that something bad would happen.

Yan Huai rushed into Cha Yuan's room aggressively, raised his hand and slapped Cha Yuan, a fierce slap.

Chayuan was not angry, resisted, or resentful, he was calm and strange.

"Jingyou... is senior brother okay?"

"Brother Jingyou is dead! Because of you! You killed him!"

Jingyou... is dead?

"Aran, is this story gone?" the little fox asked suspiciously.

"Not anymore." Tao Ran nodded slightly.

"Aran...is this your story?"

"Tao Ran, but you are quiet and quiet, rather observe, observe to see far away."

"After I died, I wandered around the world in a daze. When I got here and was trapped in this flower forest, I gradually gained some cultivation and recovered my memory." Tao Ran continued.

"Aran, our clan stipulates that this coming-of-age ceremony must be practiced outside for a period of time before it can be considered complete. I think you must want to go out and have a look." The little fox said.

"But I'm trapped in this flower forest."

The little fox smiled and said: "There is a magic circle set up by our family here. You broke in by mistake and got nourished by this spiritual energy, but you are just trapped in the magic circle. I can take you away."

"How did you do it?" The young man looked surprised, as if they had witnessed the experience of Tao Ran and Ning Guan just now.

"Virtual experience of sensuality, taking the Tao as the law." Zishe said.

"Little Immortal Realm! You are from Little Immortal Realm."

"That's right, what we saw was simulated based on what you and Ning Guan said." Zhao Xi said.

"Tsk, now we can solve the problem of Ning Guan's Yang Qi imbalance and the loss of essence." Yi Bai said.

Little Fox, well, he has a name, Su Chen.

Su Chen and Tao Ran came out of Qingqiu, and accidentally found out where Ning Guan was. Tao Ran was not strong enough to maintain his body after leaving the magic circle, so Su Chen came forward and approached Ning Guan. Su Chen used magic to connect the two souls, To meet in the "dream".

"Wait, I found out by chance, how come by chance?" Yi Bai stroked his chin and asked.

"It's Yanhuai." Su Chen said, "She met a quack warlock somehow, and that warlock taught her a spirit-calling formation. Aran was inspired, and we found it along the way."

"This Yanhuai... is not simple." Zhao Xi murmured.

"I only care about why Ning Guan and Tao Ran communicate with each other, and Ning Guan's yang energy will be lost. Logically speaking, this spell will not have such an impact on Ning Guan." Yi Bai smirked.

"He, how do I know what they did in the 'dream'." When Su Chen replied, his ears were suspiciously pink.

"Yibai, don't go too far, otherwise I will definitely share with Yimo one or two anecdotes about you molesting the fox clan in Qingqiu.

Su Chen, don't think about it, in fact, the loss of Ning Guan's energy is not something they did. "

Yibai raised his eyebrows and fell silent, and Su Chen also calmed down.

After pondering, Zi She asked: "Can we meet Tao Ran?"

Su Chen nodded, and took off the jade pendant from his waist.

Zi She quickly made a hand gesture, and in front of everyone's eyes appeared a tall and handsome young man in brocade clothes and white shirts.

The young man bowed his hands politely: "Jingyou has met the immortal master."

"The reason why Ning Guan is like this is because you don't have an orthodox method of cultivation, and your cultivation base is purely based on the yin and spirit energy of the world." Zi She said slowly.

"Ask the fairy master to give advice."

Zi She raised his hand and was about to touch Tao Ran's eyebrows, but was stopped by Zhao Xi, "I'll do it."

The slender and strong fingers with well-defined knuckles touched the center of Tao Ran's eyebrows, and they left in an instant, as if nothing happened.

"Thank you, Master Immortal." Tao Ran bowed to thank him, he only felt that the Lingtai was clear and bright, and he had more rare soul cultivation formulas in his mind, and also a little bit of Zhao Xi's enlightenment.

"This elixir can be given to Ning Guan, and there is another jade slip left for you. You can break the seal and check the contents 50 years later." Zi She said.

"I would like to obey the order of the immortal master, but unfortunately I seem to have nothing to repay."

"No, I can feel that the yin and spirit energy in your body is extremely pure, can you let me pick some up?" Zi She said.

Su Chen interrupted anxiously: "Will this harm Ah Ran?"

Zi She's smile is very gentle: "Absolutely not, but it will be beneficial to the balance of his soul, body and spirit, and beneficial to his cultivation."

"Well, if the immortal master is interested, then take it."

Very clean and tidy room, clean enough to reveal the embarrassment of the bare walls.

The young man is dressed in a coarse white robe, the material is slightly yellowed, his face is gentle and handsome, and his not-so-excellent features are easy to give people a good impression.

He turned his head, stunned, "Jing You...Senior Brother?"

"it's me."

"you are still alive?"

"No, you're afraid of ghosts?"

"I'm afraid, but if this ghost is you, brother, I don't care. If you come to claim your life, you can take it all. Anyway, it's... I owe you."

"Fool, I don't want your life." Tao Ran smiled.

"I've been dreaming about you lately," Ning Guan said, "I saw you standing quietly in a puff of green smoke, looking straight at me for a whole night. Sad, I think if I give my life to you, it will feel much better."

"Don't think too much, I have been looking for you, my heart has never changed." Tao Ran stepped forward, trying to hold Ning Guan.

Unexpectedly, Ning Guan took a step back and dodged.

"I'm married to Yan Huai," he said.

"I understand that Yanhuai is a thorn in our midst. There is a misunderstanding. Let me explain."

Yanhuai is the product of the marriage between the Tao family and other families. His father has been in business all year round, and his mother grew up with him.

Her mother met a strange man by chance. This strange man had some real skills. But the 17th birthday.

When the mother first heard about this, she was very angry. How could she curse her only daughter, a daughter who was as beautiful as a flower, to pass away in her most glamorous years.

The tricks of the strange people in Jianghu are not bad, and finally made the mother and all the elders believe in the order, concealed the matter from Yanhuai, and felt very sorry for him.

As the age of 17 approaches, Yanhuai has a wish. She falls in love with her cousin Tao Ran, and she wants to be with Tao Ran for the rest of her life.

Tao Ran didn't want it at all, he had always disliked the little cousin who was loved by his family, not to mention, he already had someone who he wanted to spend his whole life with.

Tao Ran's aunt, Yan Huai's mother, a standard lady from aristocratic family, begged humbly, clung to Tao Ran like a shrew, tried her best to fight for her daughter who was about to die. The marriage of dreams.

Tao Ran couldn't refuse, this was his aunt, he was from the Tao family, all these reasons bound him tightly, and he was powerless to resist, he could only hypnotize himself, Yanhuai would not appear in front of his eyes soon, she would even When you are still immersed in the joy of getting the marriage you have dreamed of, towards the end of your life, your loss will not be too great, probably.

"Sorry for not being able to explain clearly to you in time, let us add a little suffering to each other." Tao Ran said.

"Yanhuai, she..."

Tao Ran interrupted Ning Guan, he hugged Ning Guan forcefully, and whispered in his ear, "There is an episode in Yanhuai's story, her mother found a way to keep her alive from a strange man in the world, One life for another, let us fall into the water between heaven and man, it is not our calamity, it is hers. The one who really owes my life is not you, but her."

Ning Guan was stunned.

After a long time, he said in a trembling voice: "Jingyou... Brother, give me some time, I... have to think about it."

"I'll wait for you." After speaking, he disappeared in place.

Yan Huai, who happened to push the door open, saw his elegant clothes.

"Brother Jingyou?!"

Yan Huai grabbed Ning Guan's lapel: "Is he here? Isn't he?"

Ning Guan just stood there in a daze, not saying a word.

Yan Huai pushed him, and ran out of the house without seeing him staggering back in embarrassment.

The sky was thin and cloudy this night, and the moonlight was extraordinarily clear and bright. It could be seen that the weather tomorrow should be fine.

The bright moonlight sprinkled a lot of light into the window, illuminating the room in a soft and bright environment, echoing the faint candlelight.

"I want to talk to you." Yan Huai was wearing a sapphire blue straight-collared double-breasted blouse with a silver-plated hem on the placket, and a set of peacock blue treasures in her hair. This outfit was what she had before she became Mrs. Ning. They said it was a fake Mrs. Ning, and they were a fake couple.

She put down the tray, a clay bottle of wine, and two glasses.

Yan Huai filled up the cup, picked up his own cup and drank it down in one gulp.

Ning Guan took a sip of the wine in his glass and waited quietly.

"My mother once knew a man of God, whose surname was Mo. He lived in seclusion in the market place, and it is said that he supported a dilapidated academy."

Ning Guan's hand holding the cup trembled, and some of the full wine spilled out.

"Mr. Mo adopted a child. Mr. Mo thought that this child was extremely talented in the Confucianism sect. He thought he was unable to teach this child to go further, so he introduced this child to Mr. Dongwen's sect."

Ning Guan bowed his head, lost and said: "The
