Brother, why is he like this?

碦.

There was an extremely slight sound, like the sound of something cracking, which seemed abrupt in the dark night.

Shen Lingyuan opened his eyes suddenly.

The land on which the two feet stepped was a barren land, with thousands of miles of barren land, and no grass grew.The wind whimpered, and the corpses of dead Populus euphratica lay all over the field, hideous and terrifying.In the dark sky, thunders exploded, and purple and white lightning snaked and crawled across the sky.

Shen Lingyuan looked around in a daze.

This is?It seems... I have seen it somewhere.

A certain picture flashed in my mind, too fast for Shen Lingyuan to grasp.

Shen Lingyuan stood silently for a moment, then chose a direction at random and moved forward.There is no sun here, the sky is always dark, and this wilderness seems to never end.

Where is here, where is he going, he has no idea.He just felt that there seemed to be something waiting for him in front of him.

I don't know how long they walked, but there was a faint human voice not far away.Shen Lingyuan's heart skipped a beat for no reason, and an indescribable fear enveloped him.He ran over quickly, and saw a man wrapped in a pitch-black cloak fleeing in a hurry, followed by dozens of masked men in black.

The man in the cloak was bleeding and badly wounded, and was still running as hard as he could.The spells of chasing soldiers kept hitting the cloaked man, and the cloaked man staggered and fell to the ground, with a small baby in his arms falling out.

The pursuers surrounded him, with the cold front shining in their hands, the baby was in danger.Shen Lingyuan's heart beat faster, as if he had already felt the bloodthirsty light in their eyes.

The baby suddenly looked at him, without blinking its scarlet vertical pupils.

help me.

The baby didn't speak, but these two words suddenly sounded in Shen Lingyuan's mind.Shen Lingyuan's heart trembled, and he wanted to draw his sword, but found that Kunwu was gone, and he couldn't even use his spiritual power.He was anxious in his heart, and he didn't know where the strength came from. He jumped in front of the baby, hugged him, and blocked a white light that pierced him with his body.

He opened his eyes and looked at the baby, only to find that the baby was also staring at him in a daze, with two little hands stretched upwards, as if wanting to touch his face.

"Senior Brother...Senior Brother..."

These two shouts seemed to come from the sky, distant and vague, but they sounded like Huang Zhong Dalu's ringing in his head, shaking Shen Lingyuan's head like a splitting headache.He supported his head in pain, and looked down at the baby in his arms, but he saw shock in the baby's eyes.

The earth was shaking, the wilderness collapsed, and the pursuers, cloaked men, and babies disappeared in front of him like smoke.After a whirlwind, Shen Lingyuan fell heavily to the ground.

The last thing left in his memory was the baby's dark eyes, which contained too many emotions that a baby shouldn't have.

Shen Lingyuan woke up suddenly, with cold sweat on his forehead, and gasped for breath.

"Brother-"

Someone shouted anxiously in the ear.

Shen Lingyuan turned his head, and Ye Tan was lying beside him, looking at him with a pair of unfocused eyes, with a nervous face.

He lay back on the bed with a confused head, smiled a little weakly, and asked, "Woke you up?"

Ye Tan asked: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Lingyuan frowned: "I... seem to be having a nightmare."

Strange, how can I have such a dream?He should have never seen such a scene before, but the dream was very real.

Seeing that Ye Tan was still very nervous, Shen Lingyuan smiled and comforted him: "Did it scare you? I'm fine, go to sleep."

After coaxing Ye Tan to sleep, Shen Lingyuan couldn't fall asleep again, so he simply got up.

Since Ye Tan lived in Songxue Residence, Shen Lingyuan has been lighting lamps all night, as if wanting to make up some light for Ye Tan.Now the candle has burned down to only a short stump, and the flame is flickering like beans.Shen Lingyuan cut off the candle wick, and took another sip of cold tea to calm down.

Probably... just an ordinary illusory nightmare.

At the same time, far away in the Demon Realm of the wild land in the northwest, a handsome young man slowly opened his eyes, with a playful smile on his lips.There is a little cinnabar between the eyebrows, which is so red that it seems to bleed.

……

Shen Lingyuan glanced at the hourglass, ugly end and Yinchu, the darkest moment before dawn.

If you can't sleep on the left and right, it's better to practice swords.

The two lanterns at the gate of the courtyard are still burning dutifully, and the warm yellow light brings some popularity to Songxueju.

Shen Lingyuan stood in the courtyard, holding his breath with his sword in hand.

From the first day he learned sword, his master asked him to swing the sword for two hours every day.

So in addition to meditating, studying in the Taiji Hall, and practicing swords, Shen Lingyuan spent two extra hours a day wielding the sword.

At the beginning, it was naturally miserable. At that time, Shen Lingyuan was still young, just the age he loved to play. Watching his brothers playing and playing, but being nailed to the spot and swinging a sword for two hours, he was very envious.After two hours of swinging, his arm was so sore that he couldn't lift it up, so he ran to his master to act like a baby. The master massaged his arm while ruthlessly saying that tomorrow will continue.

I'm so angry, I really want to change my master.

Gradually, Shen Lingyuan noticed the subtle difference in the flow of spiritual power in his body from each monotonous swing of the sword.He carefully grasped this difference, and tried to control the spiritual power in his body to flow according to his ideas. The power of each sword swing was different.

Swinging the sword is no longer monotonous, every time he finishes swinging a sword, he begins to look forward to the next sword.

When he held the sword in his hand, it felt like the sword was a part of his body.

He likes the feeling of the unity of man and sword.

It wasn't until Shen Lingyuan built the foundation and his master gave him a notebook that he didn't know why his master asked him to wield the sword.

Because this is how the Juggernaut practiced his sword.

This notebook is a relic of the Juggernaut, which records the Juggernaut's experience in practicing swords.

The sword master came from the sword sect, he was the senior brother of the suzerain Cang Xiao, and the uncle of Shen Lingyuan, who fell after the great battle between righteousness and evil.The Juggernaut had no disciples during his lifetime, and only this handbook was left behind after his death, and now it has been passed on to Shen Lingyuan, who can be regarded as half of the Juggernaut's successor.

He flipped through the handbook obsessively, where he was a little confused before, but now he was enlightened and enlightened.

Shen Lingyuan devoted himself to enlightenment, and gradually stabilized his mind, and even successfully formed an alchemy at the age of 14, becoming the earliest person among the disciples of Jianzong to form an alchemy.

Elder Dan Xiao watched him practice sword and said that he had the legacy of a sword master.

The sky is bright.

Ye Tan has already woken up, lying on the window, listening to Shen Lingyuan practicing sword.

After Shen Lingyuan swung his last sword, a deep sword mark was left on the ground.He was happy in his heart, and raised his eyes to see Ye Tan, smiling.He walked up to Ye Tan, put the Kunwu sword back into its sheath, stretched out his right index finger, and tapped gently on the center of Ye Tan's eyebrows.

Ye Tan didn't understand what he meant, and looked up blankly.

The clear spiritual power flowed all over the body, reaching the sea of ​​qi.

Shen Lingyuan withdrew her fingers, tapped her chin, and said in a deep voice, "The Qi training is complete."

Only then did Ye Tan realize that he was checking his cultivation level just now.

The cultivator understands the aura of heaven and earth, and enters the Qi training period if he can draw the Qi into the body. After the tenth level of Qi training is complete, he can condense the spiritual power in the dantian to build a foundation.Ye Tan originally had a perfect cultivation base of Qi training. After losing the Tianxuan Dan, his cultivation base was completely lost, but he recovered in just two days after his dantian healed. The speed is really amazing.

Ye Tan has a special physique, so it is not difficult to build a foundation.

Ye Tan asked: "Brother, what's the matter?"

Shen Lingyuan said: "It's nothing, your cultivation is recovering very quickly. When you build your foundation, I will give you a gift."

Ye Tan opened his white eyes wide, and his expression lit up for a moment.

Shen Lingyuan patted Ye Tan's head with a smile, and said, "Okay, go get dressed, and I'll take you to the Tai Chi Hall."

Ye Tan has no problem dressing and washing by himself, but he can't tie his hair.Shen Lingyuan held his smooth hair and combed it gently with a comb. Ye Tan closed her eyes, as if enjoying this time.

After tying up her hair and bending over to tie up the silk cloth, Shen Lingyuan led Ye Tan to the outside of the room and called Bai He.

Ye Tan stood beside the white crane, stroking its neck.Bai He bent down, Ye Tan rolled up, and said with lowered eyes: "Brother, you don't have to see me off."

Shen Lingyuan raised her eyebrows in surprise: "Is it possible?"

Ye Tan nodded.

Although I really like staying with senior brother, but such a trivial matter, it is better not to trouble senior brother.

"Okay." Shen Lingyuan tightened the cloak on Ye Tan, and said, "I will pick you up at Shen Shi, and we will find your master together."

Ye Tan was silent for a moment, and his heart gradually sank.

Will we be separated so soon?

The hand holding the crane's feather tightened, Bai He groaned in pain.

Ye Tan regained consciousness instantly and let go.

Shen Lingyuan looked up in surprise, and saw Ye Tan's small face was tense and cold, and he was slightly taken aback.

Ye Tan is... angry?

Ye Tan twisted her fingers, lowered her head and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to drive me away, brother?"

He was clearly a poor little girl who was afraid of being abandoned.

Shen Lingyuan hurriedly said: "Of course not! Your cultivation base has recovered, let's ask Elder Qing Xiao if there is anything he can teach you." After a pause, he said softly: "I said, I will accompany you with you."

Ye Tan just nodded.

So the elder Qingxiao who saw Ye Tan again secretly wondered: Strange, why Ye Tan looks colder than before?

The author has something to say: Today is also a day without inner drama.
