Brother, why is he like this?

Five years in a flash.

Since people in the world know that there are demons who can pass through the boundary wall to travel between the Demon Realm and Lingxu Continent, some ascetics from Lingxu Continent have gathered near the boundary wall, trying to catch one or two demons who smuggled through the boundary wall to make a name for themselves. Li Wan.

"Hey, tell me, are there any demons coming over?" Zhao Zishi squatted on a tree branch at the foot of Qilian Mountain, and beat Guo Song beside him.

Guo Song and Zhao Zishi came from different sects, they chose the same tree branch, and neither would let the other go, so they had to squat here together.It is widely rumored in Lingxu Continent that the demon clan's wolf ambitions are about to counterattack, and the situation is on the verge of breaking out.He squatted here for several days, but he didn't see a demon, but he saw a lot of human monks.

Guo Song said impatiently: "How do I know, maybe I have to wait a few more days." Guo Song was even worse, he had been squatting for a month, not to mention the shadow, he didn't even smell the magic energy.

So Zhao Zishi stopped talking.

After a while, Zhao Zishi hit Guo Song again: "Hey, tell me, who is that?"

Guo Song raised his eyes impatiently, followed Zhao Zishi's hand to look, his scalp felt numb, and he instinctively felt that it was dangerous.

Suddenly a person appeared there.

That man's wide-sleeved long gown, white clothes like snow, his back is slender and straight, and he has an icy aura that rejects people thousands of miles away.Both Guo Song and Zhao Zishi are already at the mid-stage of Jindan, but they didn't realize when this person came here, which only shows that this person's cultivation is far above theirs.

Guo Song took off his guard, heaved a sigh of relief, and said in a low voice, "You don't know? This is Ye Tan from Jianzong, who comes here often."

Zhao Zishi made a movement of grabbing something with both hands, and lowered his voice: "Oh, he also came to arrest the demons?"

Guo Song: "Maybe. I heard that his parents were killed. It seems that the demons did it."

Zhao Zishi: "Really?"

Guo Song: "Who knows, Qianjimen also said that the direct disciples of the master of Jianzong are demons. How can we know the truth about these big men?"

"Hey," Zhao Zishi slapped Guo Song again, "What is he doing?"

Ye Tan, who was standing with his back to them, made a formula with both hands, and the nearby vegetation shone with a layer of luminescence and trembled.Zhao Zishi touched the windless and automatic leaves beside him with a curious expression.

Guo Song regained his energy, with a mysterious expression on his face: "You don't know that, Ye Tan is a spiritual cultivator, and can communicate with plants and trees. If you pick out the flowers and plants growing here, you can know what's going on nearby."

Zhao Zishi: "Then can he also hear what we say?"

Guo Song shut his mouth abruptly.

Ye Tan, who was not far away, had already turned his head to look over, his white pupils were inorganically cold, carrying an innate indifference.

Guo Song stopped breathing immediately.

After Ye Tan left for a long time, Guo Song took a deep breath.

Every time after a period of retreat, Ye Tan would come to the boundary wall to take a look.After five years, he has risen to the Nascent Soul Realm, and the incomplete eyes have been repaired, and he can see things.

However, there is still no news of the senior brother.

Ye Tan left the boundary wall disappointed and returned to the mainland.

The boundary wall is too wide, and there are always omissions.Maybe you can get news from the demons on the mainland.

……

In the vast and barren land, a small gray snake walked on the reddish-brown rocks.Not a single blade of grass grows here, and dead Populus euphratica corpses are scattered all over the field, which is hideous and terrifying.

In the dark sky, a streak of purple-white lightning strikes down, landing near Gray Snake.The gray snake was so frightened that it didn't choose its way, it meandered from a wide entrance to the ground, and stopped in front of a series of downward extending steps.Another thunder blasted, and Gray Snake rolled down the steps and fell to the bottom.It shook its dizzy head, no matter what, it couldn't go up the steps, it could only walk inwards.

This place looks like an underground palace, the light is dim, but it is very spacious.With its inconspicuous shape and dexterous figure, Gray Snake evaded the guards at the door and went all the way to the depths of the underground palace.The more you go in, the more magnificent it becomes. There is a palace in the deepest part, the gate is hidden, and the glazed bricks on the ground can even reflect the reflection of the gray snake. Bright as day.

Although it is bright here, it is also frighteningly cold, and it is as dead as a tomb.Gray Snake instinctively felt that it was dangerous, and was about to flee when he was torn apart by a force in the air, as if trying to tear out his flesh and soul.

After a while, the gray snake fell to the ground and turned into a shriveled piece, as if it had been dead for a long time.

Ruan Yeming yawned, looked at the gray snake's body under his feet expressionlessly, then turned his head to look at the sleeping person on the white jade bed, as if he was afraid of waking him up, he said in a low voice, "Come here."

As soon as the words were finished, a guard pushed the door open and entered, kneeling in front of Ruan Yeming, quietly without making a sound.

Ruan Yeming pointed to the gray snake on the ground and signaled the guards to look at it.When the guard saw the gray snake's body, he was frightened out of his wits, and his legs softened and he knelt down.Ruan Yeming didn't even look at it, and with a wave of his hand, the guard turned into a mummy.

Another servant came in, dragged away the mummy, cleaned the hall, and quietly retreated.

Everything went back to normal, as if nothing had happened.

Ruan Yeming grabbed the hand of the sleeping person on the bed, touched it, and rubbed it on his cheek affectionately, and said softly, "Brother, when will you wake up?"

Shen Lingyuan still lay quietly on the bed without any response.

Like hundreds of times before.

Ruan Yeming gradually tightened his grip on Shen Lingyuan's hand, his face was gloomy, and his eyes were dark.

Hiccup.

Shen Lingyuan's wrist was squeezed so loudly that Ruan Yeming came back to his senses.He went to look at Shen Lingyuan in a panic, and found that the man hadn't even twitched his eyelashes, and he didn't know whether it was luck or disappointment.Ruan Yeming rubbed Shen Lingyuan's red wrist, his body temperature was low due to his lethargy all year round, and his touch was slightly cold.

There was a gentle look on his face, until now, he still clearly remembers the scene when he saw his brother for the first time.

Even though it was in a dream.

Since birth, he has been caught in endless pursuit.Those fears and killings, death and betrayal lingered in his mind like nightmares.

The weak will be bullied.

No one can save you.

Ruan Yeming told himself this countless times, so when the nightmare came, he looked on coldly at his once weak self.

But someone doesn't.At the time of life and death, Shen Lingyuan descended from the sky, willing to use his flesh and blood to protect him from harm.

This is his brother.

Ruan Yeming had seen wind, frost and sword, and the sinister human heart too early, so he was quite indifferent to feelings, but now he has a strong interest in this brother he has never met.

The underground palace was dark and gloomy, suffocating, and Shen Lingyuan became his only thought.

On the Shangyuan Festival nine years ago, he saw Shen Lingyuan for the first time.

At the place where the light and the moon were shining, the man was wearing a green shirt, holding a child of about ten years old, with a gentleness on his face that he had never seen before.

It would be great if it was me standing beside him.

Suddenly feeling a slight movement in his hand, Ruan Yeming's heart trembled, his thoughts gathered, he breathed lightly and stared at Shen Lingyuan.

……

Feeling like going through a long sleep, Shen Lingyuan slowly opened his eyes.The room is a little dark, and the sky cannot be seen.The top of the tent, made of the best kiwi, poured down to the side of the bed, drooping softly.

He blinked, with a look of bewilderment in his eyes.

where am i?

Shen Lingyuan propped himself up and tried to sit up, but after lying down for too long, his body became weak, and his arms were about to fall back when his arms became weak, but someone caught him in time.

Those hands supported him to sit up, and he put a pillow behind him to make him lean more comfortably.

After a series of actions, he was extremely skilled.

Shen Lingyuan looked at the man.

Ruan Yeming.

A sharp stabbing pain came from his temple, inexplicably making him restless.

Ruan Yeming thoughtfully offered a cup of hot tea.

The fragrance of tea wafted up, Shen Lingyuan was holding the teacup, and his consciousness slowly returned.

"Where is this?" The voice was still a little dry.

Ruan Yeming looked at him eagerly and smiled innocently: "Brother, you are awake."

He seemed very happy, and said like offering a treasure: "This is our underground palace, do you like it?"

"The underground palace?" Shen Lingyuan frowned, "Where is the underground palace?"

"It's from the Demon Realm, our home."

A trace of surprise flashed across Shen Lingyuan's face, obviously this place was not within the scope of his imagination.However, he was not obsessed with why he appeared in the underground palace. Right now, there was another issue that deserved his attention.

He remembered that Ruoxu unlocked the seal on him in the secret realm, and with the help of Ye Tan, he broke through and was promoted to Nascent Soul.

However, at this moment, the sea of ​​qi was empty, unable to lift a trace of spiritual power.

Ruan Yeming looked at his expression and said cautiously: "When I found you, the seal on your body had been untied. Those in Lingxu Mainland said you were a demon, and they wanted to take you back for interrogation. I was worried about your safety, so I took you away. brought the Demon Realm."

"Your dantian...Don't worry, brother, I will definitely find a way to restore it."

For a while, the room was extremely quiet.

"The son is awake!"

A voice broke the silence of the room.

Shen Lingyuan turned his head to look, only to see a woman in a light green shirt pushing the door in with surprise on her face.

After she put the decoction in her hand beside the bed, Ruan Yeming said in a cold tone: "You go back first."

The woman in green gave a salute to both of them and retreated.

Ruan Yeming picked up the medicine bowl and filled it with a small spoon, blew carefully before sending it to Shen Lingyuan, and said, "Brother, drink the medicine first."

Shen Lingyuan looked down at the medicine by his mouth, but didn't move.

Ruan Yeming was not in a hurry, he held it up patiently, waiting for him to open his mouth.

Shen Lingyuan sighed secretly, took the spoon and the medicine bowl, and drank them all in one gulp.

Ruan Yeming said: "This is the medicine for strengthening the foundation and cultivating the vitality. My brother is still weak now and needs to be taken care of carefully."

Shen Lingyuan showed a grateful smile: "You bothered."

After not seeing the sun for a long time, Shen Lingyuan's face was still morbidly pale. The smile was not very curved, and it was by no means touching. Ruan Yeming was still stunned.

It seems that this is the first smile he has shown to himself since meeting Shen Lingyuan.

It wasn't until Shen Lingyuan spoke again that he came back to his senses.

Shen Lingyuan: "How long have I been in a coma?"

Ruan Yeming: "Five years."

Shen Lingyuan: "Five years...then do you know what happened to my junior brother Ye Tan?"

It was Ye Tan again.Ruan Yeming said indifferently: "The situation was critical at that time. I took you and left. I don't know what happened afterwards."

Shen Lingyuan didn't expect that he had been in a coma for such a long time.Recalling the scene at that time, the sky thunder followed one after another, my own Nascent Soul body was still smashed into the dantian by the sky thunder, Ye Tan has not yet transformed into a baby, can I resist it?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel very worried.He lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed, but he ignored his own weakness, and almost fell to the ground when he couldn't stand stably.Ruan Yeming quickly supported him, let him sit down slowly by the bed, and said slowly: "My brother is always so caring about him."

"But", he looked down at Shen Lingyuan, with no fluctuation in his tone, no emotion: "I am your younger brother."
