our mountain

The senior sister and the senior brother never came back. The live broadcast has already reached the second day. There is nothing unusual in the news. It is all related to the reports and discussions on the live broadcast of cultivation. Some people say that the times are about to change.

I woke up early in the morning, my face was unkempt, the soft bed made me sink in it, my waist was weak, and I was in a trance. I woke up from my little bed, washed up properly, and sat in the deepest part of the cave. place.

Now the door leading there is locked, and Master has put a restriction on it, and put on two heavy locks, physically blocking all possibilities for me to go back and make trouble.

Then I remembered that I had grown up.

I rubbed off my eye feces and scratched my neck, dragging my sleepy steps like a sloppy old woman. I watched the live broadcast too late last night, and I was annoyed by Tang Yi and Xiao Glasses joining forces.

Master Xiaoxian, we love your team.

We all love you, Master Immortal.

Who is Little Immortal Master.

Excessive.

I picked up my toothbrush to boil myself face water, but the hot water on the Lingyin stove hadn't boiled yet.

After all, it was still February, and the weather was still very cold. I rubbed my hands while brushing my teeth, and poured the hot water into the basin when it was ready, ready to go to the other side to scoop up cold water and mix it up.

"It's cold, it's cold, it's cold."

"Burn the warm fireflies."

"Oh how did I forget...huh?"

I turned my head, and Master was standing behind me, looking at the kennel-like place where I slept with a cold expression on his face.

The long gray hair fell apart at some point, and the wrinkles on the master's face were faint, probably because she had always kept a low expression on her face. Her Liuyun Taoist robe was stained with dots of dark blood, like plum blossoms embroidered on it.

I was about to kneel down by reflex, but suddenly I remembered that Master had already treated me kindly!I don't have to be so scared!

"Eye shit."

"I'm sorry Master!"

I turned my back and tidied up my appearance, turned my head and knelt down to salute, then jumped up and ran to the master to block my eyes after I kowtowed: "Master! The senior sister took the senior brother to look for you at Master Cangyun!"

"Well." The word "read" was written on the master's face.

"You know?"

"Just found out."

Master sat down lightly, and pulled my crumpled quilt aside. She sitting on the edge of the bed looked more like a fairy descending from the mortal world than my senior sister sitting on the edge of my bed. After all, my senior sister is young, and my master is already...how old is my master? Is it more than 100?

I was thinking wildly, when Master suddenly ejected two cups out of thin air, and a bottle of fruit wine appeared in his hand, I carefully looked at it, isn't it a special product of our Fengyin Mountain, Fengyin fruit wine is famous in Huaxia, it is very beautiful.

A glass floated in front of me, how dare I ask the master to pour me wine, I immediately stretched out my hands respectfully, took the wine bottle, poured it for the master, and poured myself a small sip.

"Pour a little more. Although this one is not as good as what you brewed yourself, it's not bad."

I trembled and almost threw the wine glass out.

She knew all along that I secretly brewed a few jars of wine in the back mountain behind my master's back!I recalled a lot of little secrets. I was afraid that my master would suddenly settle accounts with me. Then I would do a lot of things behind my back, except that when I was a minor, I was too lonely to study on the Internet to make wine. The jar is sour, sweet and a bit refreshing. It’s a delicious drink, let’s count it as wine. I even indulged in reselling Fengyin fruit secretly. I also found out that the fifth woman in our family portrait on the mountain is the eldest disciple Ling Xiao. Ling Xiao may Going to take me away...

If Master knows everything... I don't want to think about it.

"I didn't steal your drink, so don't be so afraid."

Master, I am not worried about you stealing my wine!

My master, like Little Glasses, is especially good at blocking my half-brewed emotions, making me cry and laugh, and then I have to let go of everything lightly.

I took a sip of my wine, not knowing what Master meant by suddenly inviting me to drink.

"Shoujie is coming back soon." The master uttered something nonsensical, and I hummed.

"Remember what she said... Ling Xiao?"

Master raised his eyes to look at me, my legs were weak, I have nothing to say to my master, it's okay if master doesn't ask, but if I ask, I will expose myself, and my voice trembles: "Remember, master."

"She is my first disciple." Master said as if he was going to tell a story, and his voice was calm, as if he was telling me a bedtime story.I really want to know about Ling Xiao and Master, but Ling Xiao is really disgusting and cheap, no matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like an apprentice that a lonely person like my master can teach... But I am the person involved, If Master knows that Ling Xiao is alive and kicking in my mind and can give me a slipper to kill the world, I don't know whether Master will choose me or Ling Xiao...

It's probably Ling Xiao, I think, Ling Xiao is very strong, and I can see how much my master has high hopes for her from her name.

I am a little uneasy, I am afraid that the master will announce her decision directly like her usual style, then I will not be able to bear it, I hope she can be a little more devious, although I am afraid of my master, but I love her very much, my Love should not be much worse than Ling Xiao, I hope Master will not be too cruel to me.

I kept silent and waited for Master's next words.

She saw me standing upright, my legs were so weak that I was about to fall, she kindly patted my side and let me sit next to her.

"Ling Xiao is a genius at talisman formations. She can create a talisman formation on the spot according to the characteristics of the object itself, allowing this object to have powerful attributes in a short period of time. The swordsmanship is a mess. She usually fights like a hooligan. What's the use of grabbing it?" What, the fighting style is weird, even I can't guarantee that I can beat her."

I remembered that bathroom slipper, maybe Ling Xiao picked it up and strengthened it for me.

"But she disappointed me." Master condensed many stories into one sentence, and I was surprised to hear: "Why?"

"She betrayed humanity."

"Huh? Has she defected to the demon clan?"

"She wants to destroy this world." The master's expression is sad. She is not sad like my senior sister, which makes me feel free to complain. Master's sadness is like sediment deposited at the bottom of the water. When I turn it up, it becomes a muddy stream. , I became sad again and again.

"Do you want to destroy the world?" Ling Xiao once said to me.

Sure enough, the big devil was Ling Xiao himself.

I am not some big devil who destroys the world, I am a good person.

"Can the world still be destroyed as soon as it is said to be destroyed?" I whispered, afraid that Master would be sad, so I carefully considered what I said.

"Haha, she can do it." Master suddenly laughed, and for some reason, it suddenly became cloudy and sunny. I was careful in the air, but Master didn't speak again.

For a long time, the master remained silent.

"Master, then you said you asked the senior sister to come here at nine o'clock, but you left again."

"Didn't I say nine o'clock today?"

"It was yesterday."

"Ok?"

Master misremembered the time?Master!You don't want to be ruined anymore!

"After Ling Xiao's death, I lost the concept of time, and my memory was a little confused..." Master made amends for myself, and I stared blankly for a while: "How did Ling Xiao die?"

Before the master could speak, Ling Xiao suddenly appeared.

"How else can I die, I can only be killed by the master." The tone couldn't hear resentment, but it couldn't be said to be too good.

My face turned pale all of a sudden, like the whiteness of being poured with a bucket of white paste. Before Master could answer, seeing my abnormal expression, he touched my forehead: "What's wrong?"

I opened my mouth and couldn't speak. I don't know why, but a lot of sadness welled up in my heart.

It seems that there is something called pain growing in my heart. The pain looks like a phoenix fruit. When the wind blows, it screams desperately. They scream in pain one after another, but I can’t say a word .

I don't understand, I really don't understand.

"Are you going to take me away?" I said to Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao didn't answer.

The point of the sword pierced my chest suddenly, the pain became real, I seemed to be torn apart, and the person Kue became very vague.

It was replaced by Ling Xiao, who knelt in front of the master, and the master's long sword pierced through his chest.The master's long black hair is tied behind his head, and the master is not as old as he is now.

Master stood in front of me, my pain made me speechless, and I heard Ling Xiao say: "You lost the battle of Dao."

"I can't go on anymore! Ling Xiao! Live! I only want you to live! Ling Xiao!"

Master hugged me, her hair turned white, her sword fell out of her hand, and slammed into my body, I didn't resist, I still had strength, but Master was crying, she loves me very much, she puts her best in me With high hopes, she gave her all her efforts.

Her Dao heart told her to kill me, she was right, and I...was right.

So I didn't do anything, and when the blood was gone, I fell asleep in Master's arms.

Master!Master!Why!Why kill me!

I seemed to hear Ling Xiao crying, but she obviously didn't speak.

The person Ku'e suddenly became clear, and I came back to my senses. I was still sitting on the edge of the bed, and the master touched my head: "There is a small war, and only a few people will die. There is a big war, and everyone will die." People. In order not to kill everyone, we are not afraid of a small-scale war. But any war is a war, and you have to live, misery."

You have to live, misery.

You have to live, Ling Xiao.

"I didn't take you away, don't make me look like you're dying!" Ling Xiao said.

"Go to hell, master let you live well and you still destroy the world, believe it or not, I will commit suicide on the spot and smash your shocking conspiracy!"

The pain coming from Ling Xiao is like a glacier flowing from her. The ice blade cuts through the heart layer by layer. The glacier is gone, but the pain is still there. I can't help myself. Master didn't answer Ling Xiao's death directly. Why, I believed Ling Xiao, it was Master who killed her.

But I don't think that my master is a bad person because of this. Even if I say it in the Knights League, I will be scolded on the Xiuzhen website.But Master's tears were very real, and I have never seen Master rushing to embrace us desperately. Her crying made Master look like a she-wolf who had lost her cubs. All her cruelty was justified.

But I don't understand. She said she wanted Ling Xiao to live, but killed her herself. Could it be that Master knew that Ling Xiao's spirit is still there and in my body, so his attitude towards me has become better?

For example, touching my head to teach me is a scene that I dare not appear in my dreams. My master will only look at me coldly, without saying a word, and his eyes are as sharp as a knife.

Where did this shift come from?

Before it was my turn to think about it, the senior sister came back.

When she came back, she was tall and straight, as if she had let go of her worries, her eyes became bold again, and she obediently said that he had played a key role in helping the senior sister this time.

The three of us arrived, and the master sat on the edge of my bed and pushed me between the senior sisters and brothers. We stood in a row and saluted again.

Master's cave has a lot of intertwined rooms, and even I don't know the specific structure. This is a big villa dug in the mountain, and there are some mazes and other guarantees for safety.

We entered a not-so-big room with several stone benches and a huge bluestone slab in the middle, polished and smooth as if it was about to become a mirror.

"Obey and wash the cup."

As soon as the senior brother left, the room seemed very large, as if every word would echo.

"I'm not here, let me tell you two things," the master tapped on the table lightly, "Did you go to Reverend Cang Yun's place under the commandment? Did you see the demon fox?"

"I see." The senior sister's expression was calm, as if the master was holding a battle meeting.

"Real Cang Yun owes me favors, and the reform is not good for him, so he is on our side. The fox can hide for a while, but can't hide for a lifetime. The Cultivation Academy takes action. When it becomes huge, the public opinion is not good for us. , so I have some arrangements to do in the next few days."

I listened attentively, although such a major matter as cultivation doesn't have much to do with me, but there must be an atmosphere.

"Observe the commandment, you caught the demon fox. I will give you the map of Liuyun Qianli, and then I will teach you how to take him out. You have to wait for my signal, and then go to the real person Cangyun to take the demon fox away. Before that, You bring back the golden core."

"Ah?" The senior sister was taken aback, "It took too long to rebuild the golden core, I'm afraid it's..."

"You find a way to go to Xialuo Mountain. There is a cave among the man-eating flowers under the glass plank road of Xialuo Mountain. It was left by your senior sister Ling Xiao. I think you also bought a Tianxian instrument, take it there, and find Ling Xiao. The next strengthened talisman, stay there to rebuild the golden core.

The force of the master's knocking on the table suddenly became stronger: "That's the escape route she left for herself... It must be useful, I think, if it was you, you should be able to understand the notes she left." I Thinking of Ling Xiao's jumping up and down to cover up his movement to let me into the cave, he didn't say anything, and looked at Master eagerly.

Master really gave me an order: "Ku'e, this is the list of main conservatives. The distance is relatively short. Hurry up. Go find these people, show your identity, and tell them that I am waiting at the mountain gate of the Danyang sect."

"Didn't the Danyang faction support reform?" the senior sister said suddenly.

"The elders of the Danyang faction intend to reform, but the suzerain does not. The elders are not here right now. We old guys have some secret places, so don't worry."

I was suddenly placed with high expectations, and I couldn't accept the change of status for a while. When I was about to say something, I staggered in from the door and made tea with a tray. I shut my mouth under Master's gaze.

He sat down heavily, the master stared and obeyed, and finally showed the stupid expression she had been looking at us for a long time, but after all, she restrained herself a bit, and when she became strict, my senior brother didn't even dare to fart.

"I'm looking for the three of you today because I have something important to talk about."

I don't think there should be any other major issues. There is going to be a war. Is there anything more serious than a war?

"You have all grown up, and Ku'er will soon become an adult. Teacher believes that it is time to separate."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at us quietly, and we all trembled. I thought, is it the calm before the storm when Master touches me?

Immediately afterwards, the senior sister at the table knelt down, kneeling down obediently, and my knees also softened, trembling.

"Master——" Senior Sister frowned, among the three of us, Senior Sister spoke the most weight, "The three of us are willing to follow Master—"

"Don't talk about these useless things, keep the commandments, and you can pick these properties as a teacher first."

"Shou Xing is willing to follow the master forever." Senior sister kowtowed. This battle probably shocked my senior sister. Senior sister thought that she would be kicked out of the mountain gate because of being unpopular, but she never thought that the three of us would be kicked out together. go out.

Obedience also shows loyalty at the right time: "It's not enough for the apprentice to learn from the master, and it's not enough for the master to repay the kindness of nurturing."

As if talking one by one, the master turned his face and waited to see how I showed my loyalty.

I don't know, I'm dumbfounded.

"I... I... Master, I'm scared. Are you going to do something stupid?"

"You can stay on the hill, those fruit trees grow well."

Eh?Won't you kick me out?

Obedience immediately shouted: "Master, I will also plant trees!"

Senior Sister has never touched my trees. She has no right to speak about this matter. She frowned for a moment, hesitated to speak, and simply stood up and got closer to Master before kneeling: "Why did Master make such a decision?"

"Get up, I'm old, Fengyin Mountain has no future, you two are talented monks, each find a way out."

Master’s words puzzled us a lot. We are indeed not like other hilltops where we accept disciples one by one to form a system of rules and regulations, but we also enjoy our lives. When Senior Sister gets older, someone will definitely ask to be her disciple. Isn't this developed, and even if the senior sister doesn't accept apprentices, can't we still live together? Isn't Fengyin Mountain our home? Either the senior sister will find a fairy lover and leave the mountain gate, or I will get married. Obedience will also have his way of life...

Why did Master drive them away?

"Shou Commandment, do you know that there is actually a God Transformation in our world? You are young, and you are expected to hit the God Transformation. Staying on the mountain has no resources and no teaching, so you can only waste your time; Obedience, you have talent, and your young spiritual roots have awakened. But there is no competition on the mountain, you have no fighting spirit, and you don’t know how to survive in modern society, and you don’t know how to work, which will delay your future. As long as the two of you leave the mountain gate, other sects will hire you at a high price and choose a good tree to live in. You know For this reason, if you stay here with me, you will just die of old age and spend your days in ignorance."

"The world is very big, I should let you go out, practice often, temper your heart, the way of cultivation is not about fighting in competitions, nor the grandeur of the mountain gate. In the past, I was negligent in discipline, and now I let you go, it is still time to make up for it , if you don’t want anything, I’ll distribute it.”

The master was calm, and the senior sister shook her head: "I understand what the master means, but I don't worship other mountain gates. I have something to ask for, and I want something. I want the master to be the master, and I can often go back to the mountain. Junior sister and junior brother are noisy, although the sound is far away, they can be heard after all, no matter what master decides, I... can do it very well."

Before the master could speak, the senior sister had already stood up, with a stern face, bowed to the master, turned and left.

Obedience is not like the courage of his senior sister, he is trembling, and his smile is like tamales sprinkled with a handful of bitter medicine.

"I just need to practice diligently. As the saying goes, a golden nest and a silver nest are not as good as your own doghouse. I must practice hard and never be lazy again."

Seeing that the master didn't speak, he pushed his buttocks back and squirmed out.

Instead, I knelt in a daze like an outsider, raised my face to look at Master, and Master returned her cold look of seeing everyone as an ant: "Why don't you go?"

"I, I...then I'm leaving."

I returned to my original form, today's turmoil made me forget Master's tenderness.

"List."

Master threw a paper roll over, I didn't intend to take this job, but at this moment I was too dazed and scared, so I took it anyway, and left respectfully.
