Three days later in the morning, a firework sounded over the main peak.

Today, there is no need to practice hard, nor do you need to read books and practice calligraphy. It is rare for more than a thousand disciples in the Xianmen to steal some free time. Birthday congratulations.

The road to the main peak was crowded with people, and a disciple who had entered the peak not long ago said strangely: "Hey, why have I never heard that the head has a younger sister?"

The other person gave him a blank look, and said: "You haven't heard much about it. It was decades ago. Miss A Ruan was not in Xianmen because of her serious illness. She was taken back half a year ago to continue to recuperate. .”

Speaking of this, the man suddenly lowered his voice and said: "I also heard that more than half a year ago, the peak gate opened the area of ​​​​the front mountain, and distributed the resources of the fairy gate to the ordinary villagers around. Miss Ruan used it to accumulate blessings."

"Ah?" the disciple couldn't help shouting, "Isn't it because you failed to accumulate blessings and did bad things!? I heard that many people in that area lost their lives in it, all because of digging for that soul-locking jade..."

The man quickly slapped him on the head, and scolded: "Hush your voice! If someone else hears this—"

"Hear what?" A low voice came from behind.

The two disciples felt a chill go down their backs, and turned their heads tremblingly.

A pair of long and narrow light golden eyes looked at them calmly, obviously did nothing, but it made people feel pressured and dared not speak a word.

"Why didn't you say it?" Gu Xingyuan twitched the corner of his mouth and smiled gently.

The two disciples immediately softened their knees, and hurriedly shouted: "Yes, I'm sorry! Please forgive us, we won't talk nonsense anymore!"

After speaking, he turned around and wanted to run away, but was kicked by Gu Xingyuan in the crook of his knee, and the two of them fell to the ground and rolled into a ball.

Gu Xingyuan walked in front of them, squatted down/body, gathered the things in his hands into his arms, and said slowly: "You just said that many people lost their lives because of digging the soul jade, why? What's going on?"

"Because, because..." one of them stammered, "The soul-locking jade is extremely cold, and the places where it grows tend to gather Yin Qi. Many people will accidentally enter the body when digging for the Soul-locking Jade. eventually died."

Gu Xingyuan was thoughtful: "Is the price of the soul-locking jade very high? So many people are risking their lives to dig it?"

"It's not expensive at first, after all, most people don't need it. But there are rumors that in the market in Qianshan, someone bought soul-locking jade in large quantities at a high price, so it attracted many people to dig desperately."

Gu Xingyuan was silent for a moment, then chuckled lightly: "I see."

He got up, let the two disciples on the ground go, and then walked towards Tianxu Peak with the things in his arms.

It was still very early in the morning, and the cool morning wind blew in through the window. Lin Jianxue was fastening the belt of her robe when she heard the door creak open.

"Master, why did you get up so early, don't you want to rest for a while?"

"No, I'm going to attend Ah Ruan's birthday today, so I have to be early." Lin Jianxue didn't raise her head, struggling with the tie on her waist.

In the next second, a pair of hands wrapped around his waist, carefully fastening the complicated belt for him.The fingers are long and strong, and the cool temperature of the fingertips is transmitted through the thin fabric, making it itchy.

Although it was like this every morning during this period, no matter how many times, Lin Jianxue still couldn't calmly get used to this way.

He looked away unnaturally, and wanted to push the other party's hand away, saying that he had almost recovered, and he could do things like dressing himself.But after thinking about it, maybe one or two days, Gu Xingyuan will never see him again, and if he wants to help him get dressed, he won't be able to.

Forget it, since Gu Xingyuan likes this, let him do it, anyway, it's not a few times.

Thinking of this, Lin Jianxue let Gu Xingyuan help him put on his robe and carefully arranged the neckline.

"Master." There was a low sound in his ear, and Lin Jianxue came back to his senses, feeling the other person's hand brushing his earlobe, gently helping him to fix his loose hair.

"Master looks really good today." Gu Xingyuan looked at him with burning eyes, and his tone was sincere and warm.

Lin Jianxue didn't know why, her heart beat faster for a moment, then she forcibly calmed down, and said calmly, "Really."

After a pause, he explained in a concealed manner: "Today is to attend a birthday ceremony, so it is naturally different from usual."

Gu Xingyuan glanced at his red earlobes, as if he wanted to say something, he smiled and didn't speak.

The medicine I had been drinking a while ago had stopped yesterday.After eating pastries at the table, the two took the wrapped gifts and went out.

After walking out of Tianxu Peak, there were more and more people along the way, and the entire Xianmen was immersed in a rare atmosphere of celebration.Although Lin Jianxue's face was always cold, the breath around her was like the first melting winter snow, with a bit of imperceptible joy.

Gu Xingyuan had a panoramic view of these subtle changes, and moved closer quietly, breathing a vaguely cool breath, as if the closer he was, the more he could smell.

He closed his eyes, put his fingertips into the palm of his hand, and forced himself to step back a little more, with his normal expression.

When the two arrived at the main peak hall, there were already a sea of ​​people.

Disciples in blessing clothes walked around, distributing gifts to senior brothers and sisters from various peaks who came to congratulate them.Tables filled with food were lined up from the main hall to the outside, and disciples from all peaks gathered together in groups of three or four, lifted the precepts of penance in daily life, and let go of eating and drinking without any scruples.

A festively dressed disciple stood on the high platform, holding a pile of spiritual stones in his arms, and shouted loudly: "May Aruan girl have a new year order, and the blessings will last forever!"

With a wave of the arm, the spirit stones under the sun scattered in the air, reflecting a crystal and dazzling luster, like countless blessings with blessings scattered around.

The disciples below rushed forward laughing and scrambling to grab the spirit stone in the air, and the voices of blessings came and went:

"—I wish Miss Ah Ruan a new year order, and a long life of blessings!"

"—I wish Miss Ah Ruan a new year order, and a long life of blessings!"

"——May Aruan girl update her year order, and her blessings will last forever!!"

……

Walking into the main hall, it was no accident that I saw the head of Fang Hua on the high seat in the middle.

He nodded towards them from a distance, and said with a smile: "Li Han, you are here."

Lin Jianxue bowed slightly, turned her head to look, and asked strangely, "Why didn't you see Ah Ruan?"

"That girl, you are still dawdling in your room. She said that it is rare that you are coming today, so I must make a good impression on you." Fang Hua shook his head, feeling a little helpless, "You know, Ah Ruan has always treated you ..."

"Brother Sect Leader!" Lin Jianxue interrupted suddenly.

Fang Hua suddenly stopped talking, and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry Li Han, I know, I may be too happy today, and I was a bit slippery for a while."

Lin Jianxue felt that the person behind him suddenly approached him, and the wrist covered under the sleeve was suddenly clasped by a hand.

Lin Jianxue's face remained motionless, and secretly tried to break free with his wrist, but the other party was clasped tightly, and he couldn't break free for a while. He didn't want to make too much movement to attract others' attention, so he had to give up.

He calmed down, followed Fang Hua's eyes to look at the lively scene outside, and echoed: "Today is indeed different, in Xianmen... It seems that it has not been so lively for a long time."

"That's right," Fang Hua's gaze changed several times, with a strangely heavy look, as if recalling something, "Since 50 years ago..."

"Forget it, today is Ah Ruan's birthday, why should I bring this up." Fang Hua smiled and sighed, "I don't know what's wrong, but today I keep thinking about the past."

"Brother sect leader, why worry about the past, since Ah Ruan is back now, it's good to cherish the present moment." Lin Jianxue said.

The head of Fang Hua nodded, and the two chatted a few more words. At this time, a steward walked up to the side of the head of Fang Hua and said something to him. He turned to Lin Jianxue and said, "I have something to deal with. For a moment, you rest here first, have some tea and fruit snacks, and the banquet will begin in half an hour."

After saying that, he left in a hurry with the steward.

The master and apprentice went to their seats and sat down. There was no one else in this long case except them.The clasped hands of the two were covered by the long case, and no one noticed.

As soon as Lin Jianxue sat down, she forcefully broke away the opponent's hand, frowned and looked: "Xing Yuan, what are you doing?"

Gu Xingyuan looked at him silently, his eyes darkened slightly, which made people feel a sense of oppression.This oppressive force does not come from the level of cultivation, but a kind of natural oppressive feeling derived from human instinct.

A subtle feeling crept up along the nerve endings, this feeling came from inexplicable, Lin Jianxue tried her best to ignore the discomfort, just about to speak, but saw the other party said in a deep voice: "Master, what the head said... What is it? thing?"

Lin Jianxue subconsciously said: "Which sentence..."

Immediately after realizing it, it must be that the sentence "A Ruan has always been to you" that the head said was misunderstood.

Lin Jianxue looked at him puzzled, and frowned even deeper: "Xing Yuan, you have practiced for so long, where have you cultivated your mind? Why do you still ask such a question?"

Gu Xingyuan looked at him without saying a word, unmoved.

Lin Jianxue thought that she was about to ascend to the top and could no longer take care of the apprentice in front of her, and the other party was confused by these things, and she was suddenly worried: "Since we are practicing the way of ruthlessness, we are naturally strict with ourselves. How can you get caught up in these worldliness that hinder you?"

The other party seemed to be finally moved by his words, narrowed his long eyes, and slowly repeated: "The... vulgarity that caused the hindrance?"

"Exactly," Lin Jianxue saw that the other party was loosening up, she let out a sigh of relief, and continued, "So why are you worrying about this? We practice the ruthless way, so we won't have these vulgar feelings, and it's impossible for us to be caught by it." confused."

Gu Xingyuan stared at him and didn't speak for a long time.

The surrounding atmosphere continued to be warm, the crowd cheered and congratulated, and there was an atmosphere of joy.But the air between the two became inexplicably stagnant.

At the end, the corner of Gu Xingyuan's mouth curled up, and he smiled lightly.Lin Jianxue faintly felt that although the smile was soft, it didn't reach the other person's eyes, and there was still a icy coldness in those light golden eyes.

A trace of uneasiness gradually grew in my heart, as if something began to slip out of control quietly since I don't know when.

Lin Jianxue was about to say something, when a crisp female voice sounded, instantly breaking the strange stagnation.

"Lord Li Han!"
