[Hidden] legend

1.

Compared with practicing kung fu and Taoism, Zhang Xiaofan is obviously more talented in cooking.

That day Ding Yin ate the first meal he made, and after a moment of surprise, he was full of praise. He just thought it was the senior who couldn't bear to beat him, but it was Ding Yin who stuffed a mouthful into his mouth and tasted it himself. Some confidence.A few days later, when Du Bishu went down the mountain, the master, wife, brothers and sisters ate his cooking for the first time, and they also expressed their liking, Zhang Xiaofan then put his heart back into his stomach.

From then on, he continued to do it in the kitchen, practiced in his spare time during the day, brought warm food to Ding Yin after dinner, and practiced "Dafan Prajna" alone at night, his life was very peaceful, Gradually, it became more interesting.

When he first worshiped under the Dazhufeng sect, and practiced the first level of Jade Qing Realm exercises for three months, Tian Buyi once asked him about his homework, but at that time he had no progress at all, and since then Tian Buyi has never been to him He didn't bother with the practice anymore, and as time went on, the other senior brothers knew that his aptitude was poor, so they gradually stopped urging him.Living in the mountains is lonely, apart from going up to the mountain to cut bamboo every day and practicing kung fu alone, only Tian Linger, because of his similar age, often stays with him, although she usually orders him, but occasionally when other senior brothers tease him, she will be the first to come out Fighting against injustice is a bright spot in the quiet days.

It's different now, everyone likes to eat his dishes, and even the master can show a smile occasionally.Although he still lived on the Big Bamboo Peak for a long time, the little gray monkey was very close to him and was inseparable.In particular, he also has an extra brother Ding who can talk.

Ding Yin has lived in Dazhu Peak for half a year.

For half a year, Xiaofan went up to the mountain every day to deliver meals to him. Knowing that Ding Yin didn't like to go to the Shoujingtang, he simply helped him deliver some daily necessities such as candles, and relying on his convenience in the kitchen, he often brought them for him. Come over with some ingredients.During the day, when Tian Linger said that he wanted to eat bamboo shoots or fresh mushrooms, or occasionally he wanted to make some meat dishes, he often followed Ding Yin into the depths of the back mountain to find the materials he needed.

Maybe it's because Ding Yin looks peaceful, maybe it's because the other party is very good at kung fu, Zhang Xiaofan is actually very resistant to going into the hinterland of the mountains after passing out in the mountains, but if he stays with Ding Yin, he seems to have no fear at all.

This guy seems to know a little bit about everything.As time went by, Ding Yin slowly started chatting with Zhang Xiaofan, although they didn't talk much, they were very useful.Xiaofan gradually realized that he had indeed been a hunter in the past, besides hunting, he could also do carpentry and wrought iron. Zhang Xiaofan learned from him to make traps, helped him to make wicker chairs and lanterns, and after half a year, he also mastered a lot of new skills .

And in the past six months, he also saw the appearance of Ding Yin that he saw that night four or five times.Zhang Xiaofan remembered the days silently, and gradually found that the time interval between Ding Zhi's attacks seemed to be a bit longer, it can be seen that his cleansing practice at the Big Bamboo Peak also had some effect.

Zhang Xiaofan still didn't know what kind of domineering spell Ding Yin practiced. When the other party attacked for the second time, he helped build the fence at the bamboo house. The door told him not to come back today.Zhang Xiaofan was worried, he went back to cook dinner for everyone in the evening, and he came back here, he didn't dare to disturb him, he just waited outside the house until late at night when there was no movement again in the house, Ding Yin seemed to be more than the first time at that time The second attack was even worse, even the fundus of the eyes were bright red, and he could hardly recognize him.Zhang Xiaofan saw the other party's grim expression, when the other party pinched him, he subconsciously recited the "Da Fan Prajna" method that he had practiced every day and night, and Ding Yin gradually calmed down.

In fact, he didn't know if it was useful, but sometimes when he thought of the bloody case in Caomiao Village, and his heart was hard to calm down, this mental method could calm him down, and he didn't expect it to have such an effect on Ding Yin.

After waking up, Ding Yin realized that he had grasped his wrist greenly, and he blamed himself and was very angry: "I told you not to come here today, why didn't you listen!"

Zhang Xiaofan was very happy that he had brought him back to his senses, when he heard the other party scolding him, the surprise on his face stopped, he lowered his head very uneasy, and retracted his hand, but he couldn't say a word.

Ding Yin did tell him that he was indeed disobedient, since what the other party said was the truth, he didn't know what to refute at all, just like his master scolding him was useless, he could only listen quietly There is nothing to say.

Ding Yin finished yelling, but the other party remained silent, lowered his head and pouted his cheeks, looking more aggrieved than him, so his anger went to nowhere, and he blamed himself even more, and he couldn't turn it around for a while He had no choice but to pull the opponent's arm and go into the bamboo house, lit the candle, found out the ointment and rubbed it on the opponent's wrist.

Zhang Xiaofan was so obedient, he sat on the edge of the bed consciously, rolled up his sleeves and raised his arms halfway, when rubbing the medicine with great force he didn't complain of pain, he just bit his lower lip and endured it sullenly.

Ding Yin laughed angrily, and sighed helplessly: "Xiao Fan."

The latter looked up at him, and he continued quietly: "Speak."

Zhang Xiaofan endured the pain in his wrist, and asked slowly: "Brother Ding, are you... better?"

Ding Yin's hand movements paused, and he said softly: "Well, the spell you recited is very effective. But next time, you must not come here, I don't want to hurt you."

Zhang Xiaofan lowered his gaze, thought for a while and said, "Brother Ding is alone, is it really okay?"

Ding Yin listened to his emotions and expressed his doubts with his eyes, Zhang Xiaofan continued sullenly: "Before, when I went to that valley, although I didn't remember clearly what happened, I still felt scared from time to time, afraid of a People face the unknown and the darkness. I know that Brother Ding helped me at that time, and I can see that the exercises in your body seem to have a great influence on you, and you are also very afraid that it will affect you, so you want to stay Help...but Xiaofan is useless, probably can't help..."

Ding Yin's heart warmed, and he interrupted him: "Just now you said that the mantra you recited is beneficial to me, why do you say that you are useless?"

Zhang Xiaofan fell silent, Ding Yin recalled what the other party said last time when he saw him having a fit, he hesitated for a moment before asking softly: "Before you told me that you went to the mountain because the village where you lived since childhood was destroyed by the Demon Cult. Did you survive alone?"

Zhang Xiaofan shook his head, with some thoughts in his eyes: "I have a playmate who also went to Qingyunmen together, his name is Lin Jingyu, he is older than me, but we are not practicing in the same peak, I haven't seen him for a long time, I don't know how he is now."

Although some friends of the same age escaped the catastrophe, they went to the mountain and separated, and they haven't seen each other for three years. In the past three years, they have always suffered the pain of dying alone. The arrangement of the head of the sect, although it is said that the practice is about being pure-hearted and ascetic, but it is still a bit unreasonable.

He pondered to himself, then asked Zhang Xiaofan: "Then Qingyun Sect must have sent someone to investigate what happened back then, do you have any clues?"

Zhang Xiaofan was disappointed and said: "I haven't heard from Master about the progress, presumably there is no news, the murderer is probably... still at large."

Ding Yin has even more doubts: Isn't Qingyun sect one of the so-called three major sects of righteous way?If you really want to investigate, the slaughter of a village is not a trivial matter, how can you have no clue?Or do you have any clues, but you don't want to tell them?

Zhang Xiaofan saw him pondering, and asked curiously: "Brother Ding, do you think there is any problem?"

Ding Yin met his gaze, and slowly shook his head: "I just think that the fate of people is very magical. I studied art with a teacher back then, and my experience was similar to yours. The village I lived in was killed by gangsters, and I was alone with nowhere to go. You can go."

Zhang Xiaofan's heart was shaken, and he subconsciously said: "Then...Did Brother Ding find the murderer?"

murderer?Was it me who became mad and violent seven years ago... or was it the Shangguan who designed a fake murder case just to drive him to Shushan to police me?Ding Yin's eyes were in a trance for a while: "We found it, they... can be regarded as atonement."

...Since the great revenge has been avenged, why doesn't the person in front of him seem to be relieved?Zhang Xiaofan didn't understand, but he couldn't bear to ask any more, but he felt that he was getting closer to this person: "That should be a good thing... When I started apprenticeship, Master asked me to let go of revenge... But after so long, I still Unforgettable……"

Ding Yin put down his sleeves, and said softly: "Hatred and obsession will corrupt people's hearts, and you may do things that you will never regret. Your master wants you to become a person with a strong heart. Don't worry too much about the old things. Think, the rest, let nature take its course."

Zhang Xiaofan nodded half-understood, still thinking about Ding Yin's advice not to come over at such a time just now, he couldn't help but follow the other party's words: "Since brother Ding advised me not to think too much, then you too Don't worry too much about hurting others. In fact, the spells I used just now are not allowed to pass on to others... Even, you can't use them in front of others, and you can't tell anyone about them...Brother Dante discovered it by himself, so it's not considered a Let me tell you, I won't say much about other things, but since this method is useful and can help you, it's better than healing your injuries alone, isn't it?"

Ding Yin hesitated to speak, the spell used by Zhang Xiaofan did have the effect of deterring evil spirits and purifying the mind, but the power of the red soul stone is too powerful, how dare he put a young man's life in danger?However, what Zhang Xiaofan said is not unreasonable, the strength of one person...is it really the best way?

He straightened up and looked out the window, his eyes glanced at the lanterns under the eaves, and his thoughts turned: "How about this, I will light the candles after nightfall, if you see the candles are lit, come here. If it is not lit by Haishi Since then, you don’t want to run into the mountains. Is this okay for the head office?”

2.

This kind of compromise finally made Zhang Xiaofan feel at ease. Fortunately, the refinement after Ding Yin became much smoother. Perhaps it was the reason why Zhang Xiaofan often used the superficial "Dafan Prajna" he cultivated with Ding Yin. The red soul stone His demonic nature seems to have calmed down a lot, and the time for his demonic nature to become stronger is also less.

In the past half a year, Daoxuan also came to the back mountain of Dazhu Peak twice, the first time was to observe Ding Yin's situation, and the second time was to come together with Tian Buyi to discuss with him the method of sealing described in the ancient books he found, but the ancient The law is long, the records may not be detailed, and there are many things that need to be prepared. It will still take some time to put it into practice.

Ding Yin was neither sad nor happy, nor had he expected or resisted, he was the one who was sealed, and he only knew a rough idea of ​​the method of sealing him, so he chose two that looked more reliable for Daoxuan to investigate. His opinion is basically no longer needed.

If he had to say something about his feelings, he just felt a little empty in his heart.

When he is really sealed, there won't be a boy who comes to the back of the mountain every day to ask Brother Ding if he can help him catch a few fish, ask Brother Ding to teach him how to make a lantern, or come and tell him how Xiaohui and Dahuang are doing. What kind of disharmony, and Xiao Hui stole the meat and bones that were hidden somewhere and prepared to make soup to bribe Rhubarb.

There was a serene smile on the corner of his lips, Ding Yin looked at the time, only to realize that noon had passed, it seemed that Xiao Fan was busy in the hall today, and would not come during the day.

He walked out of the bamboo house and carried the bamboo basket full of chestnuts on the porch with one hand. Thinking that it was late autumn and it was getting dark early, it would be unsafe to let him carry it away when the other party came over at night, so he simply took the bamboo basket by himself. Pick it up and send it to Xiaofan.

3.

In the front hall of the Jingtang Hall, Tian Buyi's expression became increasingly ugly.

It was not unusual for Longshoufeng to send disciples to inform Qimai of the changes in the Qimai Martial Arts Competition, but the two people sent here were Qi Hao who defeated his disciple Song Daren in the last Qimai Martial Arts Competition, and the other One is Lin Jingyu, who was snatched by Daoist Cangsong less than four years ago, who started with Zhang Xiaofan.

With his eyesight, he could tell in just a moment that the aptitude of these two people was far above all the disciples under his sect. Needless to say, Qi Hao, he had long been famous among the younger generation, but it was the young Lin Jingyu who was three and a half years old. Then he was able to control the sword and break through the fourth level of the Jade Clear Realm, which is simply a rare talent in the Qingyun Sect for a thousand years.

Big Bamboo Peak is sparsely populated, and no one has such talent, although hard work can make up for weakness, but this time the seven meridian martial arts competition, I am afraid that he will be at the bottom again, no wonder Tian Buyi is anxious to get angry, and Zhang Xiaofan who is slow to advance is not happy hope.

However, he was furious and depressed, but his seventh apprentice who was not up to date was knocked down by Lin Jingyu.Seeing this, Tian Ling'er immediately defended his junior brother, he himself was about to reprimand that young and energetic young man, but Zhang Xiaofan suddenly knelt down in front of him, begging Lin Jingyu for mercy with his tongue and mouth.

Thus, Tian Buyi's pent-up anger broke out completely, he yelled at Zhang Xiaofan angrily, and waved his sleeve robe.

You must know that although the strength of Tian Buyi's disciples is not good, he himself has amazing supernatural powers, and no one dares to underestimate him.When he swung his sleeve, Zhang Xiaofan felt the gust of wind hit his face, his body lightened, the surrounding wind was strong, he couldn't breathe anymore, the overwhelming force pushed him to fly backwards, until he hit a wall heavily. He fell down.

Zhang Xiaofan lay on the ground, tinnitus and dizziness, a sweet throat, "wow" spit out a mouthful of blood.

Everyone was stunned by this sudden note, Tian Buyi's anger receded a bit, and he wanted to teach Lin Jingyu who was speaking rudely at the side, but the next moment he suddenly took precautions, together with Suru who was behind him, Hastily raised his palm to resist the gust of true energy coming from the front.

This was just a matter of a moment, when Tian Buyi and Suru raised their palms to confront the man with true energy, Qi Hao and the others finally realized that Tian Linger couldn't move for a while because he remembered his father's instructions, and Lin Jingyu couldn't move for a while. Angry Xiaofan did not take action because of his injury, only Qihao was exceptionally rational, his cultivation base was the deepest among the young people present, and he also had the most experience, but he had never seen or heard of this sudden appearance The stranger immediately cast out his ice sword and shouted: "Presumptuous! Who dares to disrespect the chief of the Great Bamboo Peak!"

The visitor frowned, his eyes were sharp, and his aura was so strong that he didn't even need to use his other hand. When he struck Tian Buyi with a palm force, his palm had already been withdrawn, and he smashed the ice sword that Qihao had sacrificed effortlessly. gas.

Immediately, two strands of true energy collided in the arena, Suru and Tian Buyi barely managed to undo the first palm, but Qihao's sword energy was crushed inch by inch by the force of the second palm, and he took several steps back before gaining a foothold , people are unscathed.

The zhenqi dissipated, the wind in the courtyard gradually subsided, everyone came back to their senses at this moment, the person who came had already helped Zhang Xiaofan who was vomiting blood, looked coldly at Tian Buyi with a pair of sword eyes, and said: "Is it careless to be a teacher? Yes Tian Shouzuo is a good disciple for his disciples to strike such a heavy hand."
