In that distant little black house

Having not seen Zhang Jingmo for decades, Zhang Jingmo originally thought that Lu Guijiu would be very excited about his arrival.But when they actually met, what he saw was an indifferent Lu Guijiu.

Lu Guijiu listened quietly to the conversation between Zhang Jingmo and Bai Lingxiao, his expression did not change a bit, and even when Zhang Jingmo called him to leave together at the end, he said slowly: "Master, you go back first, I will practice the sword here for a few more hours."

Zhang Jingmo's eyebrows twitched: "Puijiu, are you still angry about being a teacher?"

Lu Guijiu looked at Zhang Jingmo silently, his eyes still calm, and he said, "No, Master."

Zhang Jingmo frowned and said, "Then what do you mean?"

Lu Guijiu's expression was calm, and Zhang Jingmo could even see the indifference in it. After hearing Zhang Jingmo's rhetorical question, he smiled: "I just want to practice hard."

Hearing this, Zhang Jingmo's expression darkened: "I asked you to go back with me, not to ask you." After he said this, he flung his sleeves and left, obviously very unhappy.

Bai Lingxiao was also a little taken aback when he saw the master and apprentice broke up unhappy, he said: "Guijiu, didn't you always think about your master coming back? Why are you unhappy when he comes back?"

Lu Guijiu glanced at Bai Lingxiao expressionlessly: "Really?"

Bai Lingxiao frowned: "What's wrong with you?"

Lu Guijiu said: "It's nothing." After he said this, he followed behind Zhang Jingmo expressionlessly, and left in the wind.

Looking at Lu Guijiu's back, Bai Lingxiao always felt that something was overlooked by him. When he thought about it carefully, he grasped the context of the matter—where Zhang Jingmo left, Lu Guijiu was indeed He missed Zhang Jingmo every night, and even wanted to write a letter to Zhang Jingmo, but then for some reason, his thoughts on Zhang Jingmo faded.Bai Lingxiao always thought it was Lu Guijiu who wanted to cultivate hard, and finally gave Zhang Jingmo a surprise. However, when Zhang Jingmo really came back, he found that Lu Guijiu didn't seem to be the four-year-old Zhang Jingmo he had imagined. .

Lu Guijiu was expressionless, and flew all the way to Zhang Jingmo's mansion.

Along the way, Lu Shu murmured in Lu Guijiu's mind: "I said that this matter must be discovered by your master, so why didn't you tell him?"

Lu Guijiu said indifferently: "Tell him? Tell him that I entered the forbidden area. Did I release those monsters?"

Lu Shu sighed: "Even if you don't tell him, he will still find out about you——Lu Guijiu, your master loves you so much, even if he knows, he won't do anything to you."

Lu Guijiu said coldly: "Do you love me? If you love me, why would you put me in the Lingxu sect for 100 years - 100 years, neither a letter nor a reply to the message I sent, You tell me now that he loves me."

Lu Shu knew that he couldn't persuade Lu Guijiu anymore, he sighed: "Forget it, I don't care about you anymore, I want to see how you can hide it from your master."

Lu Guijiu said coldly: "Isn't it easy to hide it? Didn't he just want to see Lu Guijiu who was devoted to him, heh..." After he finished speaking, the indifferent expression on his face softened.

After Zhang Jingmo returned to the mansion, he was in a bad mood. He stood where he was, and saw Lu Guijiu following him after a while.

Zhang Jingmo said: "Lu Guijiu."

Lu Guijiu's face was full of smiles at the moment, he said: "Master, you are back, I miss you."

Hearing this and seeing Lu Guijiu's expression, Zhang Jingmo felt a sense of disobedience, and he frowned: "Stop laughing."

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Lu Guijiu's face disappeared in an instant. He said: "I like Master the most. Master doesn't want me to laugh, so I won't laugh."

Zhang Jingmo said: "What dissatisfaction do you have with me?"

Lu Guijiu said: "Master's return is the best thing, Guijiu dare not be dissatisfied."

Zhang Jingmo only felt that he had a lot to say to Lu Guijiu, but when these words came to his lips, seeing Lu Guijiu who had no emotion in his eyes, he swallowed these words again.

Lu Guijiu saw Zhang Jingmo looking at him with serious eyes, but he couldn't understand what Zhang Jingmo was feeling - to be precise, he couldn't understand any feelings now.

Lu Guijiu waited for a while, but before Zhang Jingmo could speak, he said again: "Master, if there is nothing wrong, I will go to practice."

Hearing this, Zhang Jingmo's eyes became darker, and he said, "Wait a minute, I brought a Taoist friend from outside, and I will introduce you to each other first."

Lu Guijiu let out a faint oh, completely indifferent to the fact that Zhang Jingmo brought someone back from outside.This is completely different from the way he was jealous of Zhu Yan back then.

Zhang Jingmo's originally relaxed brows frowned again, and he said, "Guijiu, what's the matter with you, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to touch Lu Guijiu's forehead.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Jingmo's action was directly avoided by Lu Guijiu. He not only avoided, but even showed displeasure in his eyes, obviously unwilling to make physical contact with Zhang Jingmo.

Zhang Jingmo paused with his hands in the distance, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

Fortunately, at this time, Wu Curao just came, and when he saw Zhang Jingmo and Lu Guijiu, he greeted them.

Zhang Jingmo withdrew his hand in silence, looked at Lu Guijiu, and after a while, said calmly: "Zu Yao, this is my apprentice Lu Guijiu, Guijiu... this is Master's fellow Taoist, Wu Curiyao."

Lu Guijiu bowed to Wu Curyao, and then said: "Then Master, I'll go first." After he finished speaking, he turned around and left without paying any attention to Zhang Jingmo's ugly face.

Seeing this, Wu Curyao had no choice but to break the siege and said, "Jing Mo, your apprentice really has a bit of a temper, but it's normal. If I were his master, I would pamper him as well."

Zhang Jingmo hummed lightly.If he still can't see anything strange about Lu Guijiu's body at this moment, then his eyes are for nothing.

Zhang Jingmo also told Wu Curyao that he was going to solve some matters in the sect, and if Wu Curyao needed anything, he would tell his Taoist boy.

Wu Curyao nodded and said, "Go ahead, don't worry about me."

Zhang Jingmo nodded apologetically towards Wu Curyao, and then flew towards the direction where Lu Guijiu left.

If Zhang Jingmo was most worried about Lu Guijiu being too dependent on him a hundred years ago, then at this moment, Zhang Jingmo would rather that Lu Guijiu was still like a hundred years ago.

Now this Lu Guijiu's attitude towards him is so strange that Zhang Jingmo really doesn't understand what happened in the past hundred years to make Lu Guijiu look like this.

After Lu Guijiu left Zhang Jingmo, he started practicing sword again.

The cliff where he practiced his sword has been eroded by the sword energy, and there is no grass growing on the entire cliff. At this time, the sword he holds in his hand is the star cast by the elder Zhang Jingmo at that time.

This star Lu Guijiu can only be taken out in the mansion, after all, if it is seen by other people, it may be another bloodbath.

But now that Zhang Jingmo is back, I’m not afraid to take it out. Anyway, they have not only the Nascent Soul cultivator Bai Lingxiao, but also Zhang Jingmo, the late Jindan cultivator. What happened, I'm afraid I can only bear it.

Lu Guijiu's sword-holding posture is still tall and straight. After a hundred years of experience, his every move has completely acquired the essence of Bai Lingxiao's sword intent.

Zhang Jingmo looked at Lu Guijiu's sword dance from afar, as if he was watching a black dragon soaring into the air, his eyes were full of amazement.

Lu Guijiu had noticed Zhang Jingmo standing not far away, but he had no intention of stopping.

Lu Shu lamented in Lu Guijiu's mind: "Lu Guijiu...you will regret it."

Lu Guijiu sneered coldly: "Regret? Regret what."

Lu Shu only felt bitterness in his mouth. He knew that what he said to Lu Guijiu at this time was superfluous. The best situation now is that Lu Guijiu told Zhang Jingmo about his incident in detail, but Lu Guijiu would not what?At least for now, he definitely won't.

After practicing a set of moves, Lu Guijiu sat down on the spot and began to rest.

Zhang Jingmo walked over slowly, and when he stepped on the rock, he felt the strong sword intent, and he called out: "Puijiu."

Lu Guijiu didn't open his eyes and didn't answer.

Zhang Jingmo said, "What's wrong with you?" This was the third time Zhang Jingmo asked Lu Guijiu what was wrong with him.

But Lu Guijiu's answer didn't change at all, he still didn't even open his eyes: "It's nothing."

Zhang Jingmo only felt a surge of anger in his chest, and his voice suddenly became cold: "Get up."

Only then did Lu Guijiu open his eyes, and cast a cold look at Zhang Jingmo.

Zhang Jingmo said: "I haven't seen you in a hundred years, let me see how much you have improved." As he spoke, he took out the long sword from the Sumeru Ring.

Lu Guijiu said: "Is this Master wanting to practice two moves with me?"

Zhang Jingmo said: "You go first."

Lu Guijiu sneered: "The apprentice will not be polite." After he finished speaking, the Sword of Stars in his hand stabbed towards Zhang Jingmo.

Zhang Jingmo felt Lu Guijiu's killing intent, and he was even sure that, at least at this moment, Lu Guijiu wanted to kill him.This kind of killing intent also ignited the suppressed anger in Zhang Jingmo's heart, and he said: "Lu Guijiu—I haven't seen you for a hundred years, you are going to deceive your master and destroy your ancestors?!" Landing Onojiu stabbed with a sword.

After all, Lu Guijiu's cultivation base was at the foundation establishment stage, which was much worse than Zhang Jingmo's cultivation base at the later stage of Jindan. Under Zhang Jingmo's offensive, he soon showed signs of distress.

However, although he was embarrassed, he was never injured by Zhang Jingmo. He moved left and right, and every time he brushed past Zhang Jingmo's sword.

Seeing this, Zhang Jingmo's mood improved a lot. He said: "The cultivation base has improved a lot."

Just as he was speaking, he saw Lu Guijiu's figure suddenly paused. Zhang Jingmo's eyes blurred, and Lu Guijiu's figure disappeared. The next moment, Zhang Jingmo suddenly dodged to the right, dodging Lu Guijiu. Podojiu's sword - but his arm was still scratched by the sword energy.

Lu Guijiu really wanted to kill him - Zhang Jingmo realized this for the first time.

Lu Guijiu's sword was stained with blood, but he showed an excited expression. He said, "Master, I must have won."

Zhang Jingmo's hand holding the sword hangs down, and he hums indifferently.

Lu Guijiu laughed loudly, and he said: "I knew it, I knew it—" Nothing is reliable at this time, only oneself, and only cultivation, is the only right way.

Zhang Jingmo's arm was scratched. Although it was not serious, the problem was that his arm was scratched by Lu Guijiu.Hearing Lu Guijiu's laughter, he suddenly thought of a possibility.

The next moment, Lu Guijiu's neck was pinched by Zhang Jingmo.

Lu Guijiu was a little stunned, he naturally did not expect Zhang Jingmo's actions, and said in his mouth: "Master, do you want to kill me to silence me after I beat you?"

Zhang Jingmo didn't answer, but just stared carefully at the face of his subordinate.Even if Zhang Jingmo forgets about other things, he will never forget Lu Guijiu's face, the eyes, the bridge of the nose, the lips, every inch is firmly in Zhang Jingmo's heart.He said, "Who are you?"

After hearing these three words, Lu Guijiu showed an expression of not knowing what Zhang Jingmo was talking about.

Zhang Jingmo said angrily: "Who are you? Where is Lu Guijiu? You think you took his body, so I can't see it?"

Lu Guijiu's throat hurt from being pinched, but he didn't panic, and said slowly: "Master, what are you talking about, I don't understand."

Zhang Jingmo said coldly: "My apprentice will not hurt me, tell me, who are you, or let me take your soul out, and I promise to make you regret coming to this world."

After hearing this, Lu Guijiu said indifferently: "Master, what are you talking about? If I was really taken over by that lonely ghost, the first one to see it should be Uncle Bai Lingxiao."

Zhang Jingmo's expression froze.

Lu Guijiu said again: "Could it be that because I have changed, Master feels that I have been taken away?" When he said this, his face was full of sarcasm, and Zhang Jingmo's hands trembled slightly.

Seeing that Zhang Jingmo was furious, Lu Guijiu smiled on purpose: "If master is sure, let me go, don't shake your hand, it really killed me."

Zhang Jingmo let go of Lu Guijiu, and left without looking back.

Lu Guijiu looked at Zhang Jingmo's back, and reached out to touch his red-stained neck.

After seeing this scene, Lu Shu sighed in Lu Guijiu's mind, and said, "Lu Guijiu, Lu Guijiu, let me say it again...you will regret it sooner or later..."

Lu Guijiu said coldly: "What regrets?"

Lu Shu said: "Oh, I'm too lazy to talk about you, it would be weird if your master didn't find something wrong with your appearance.

Lu Guijiu smiled and said, "So what if he found out, didn't he find out just now?"

Lu Shu said: "...I think you won't be able to hide the matter of opening the forbidden area for a long time."

Lu Guijiu sneered and said: "It's a day to hide it, and you still say that he loves me, hmph, I think if he finds out the forbidden area I opened, he will definitely punish him..." As he said, he bent down and picked it up. The star sword that fell on the ground suddenly softened the indifferent tone, "Only the sword in my hand can let me get what I want."

Hearing the words, Lu Shu secretly said in his heart, what you thought—what you wanted has already been pissed off by you.

Zhang Jingmo was really angry. When he thought of Lu Guijiu's expression just now, he wished he could slash this apprentice with a sword. Now he even felt that even if Lu Guijiu showed covetousness towards him, it would not be as bad as the current situation. He felt angry.

Zhang Jingmo returned to the room with a gloomy face, and sat on the couch to rest for a long time before recovering.

After he recovered, the first thing he did was to visit Bai Lingxiao again to learn about Lu Guijiu's situation in the past hundred years.

Bai Lingxiao told Zhang Jingmo everything that happened to Lu Guijiu in the past hundred years.

Zhang Jingmo heard it in his ears, but his brows were tightly wrinkled.

Bai Lingxiao said: "Qingyuan, what's the matter? How could you be hurt if you were injured?"

Zhang Jingmo came in such a hurry that he forgot to treat the wound on his arm. He shook his head and said, "Lu Guijiu...something is wrong."

Bai Lingxiao said: "Something's wrong?"

Zhang Jingmo said: "The injury on my hand is Lu Guijiu..."

Before he finished speaking, Bai Lingxiao's expression changed: "Really?"

Zhang Jingmo smiled wryly: "Naturally, I wouldn't just joke around about this matter."

Bai Lingxiao said: "Then I'm afraid there is something really wrong with him."

Zhang Jingmo said: "Think about it, what happened in the past hundred years to make him become like this?"

Bai Lingxiao recalled it again, and finally could only helplessly say: "I have told you about the slightly bigger things that happened, but I... failed to find anything wrong with Lu Guijiu." Lu Guijiu and him Most of the communication between them is on cultivation, so in the past hundred years, he felt that Lu Guijiu was very serious about cultivation, and he didn't notice anything wrong.

However, when Zhang Jingmo returned from traveling abroad, the strangeness of Lu Guijiu was exposed.

According to the appearance of Lu Guijiu's yearning for Zhang Jingmo a hundred years ago, it is absolutely impossible for him to hurt Zhang Jingmo.

Zhang Jingmo said: "At first I wondered if he had been taken away."

Bai Lingxiao frowned slightly: "Duoshe...it's impossible, the changes in him can never be hidden from me."

Zhang Jingmo said: "I also think it's impossible, but if it wasn't for Duoshe, how could he have changed so much..."

Bai Lingxiao and Zhang Jingmo thought about it together, he thought for a while, but he couldn't think of anything, so he said: "Why don't you call my apprentice back and ask him what he thinks?"

Only then did Zhang Jingmo remember that he gave Bai Lingxiao an apprentice before, and he said, "Okay."

Bai Lingxiao called his apprentice over. At this time, Bai Lingxiao's disciple Wu Jinglong and Zhang Jingmo had changed a lot when they first met him. A hundred years is enough for a thin boy to grow into a mature one. A man, and although he is still a long way from the great power of Zhutian in the future, he can already faintly see his demeanor.

Wu Jinglong first saluted Zhang Jingmo and Bai Lingxiao respectfully, and then said: "I don't know why Master called me here, why?"

Bai Lingxiao said: "I have something to ask you."

Wu Jinglong said: "Master, please tell me."

Bai Lingxiao said: "If I leave you in the sect for a hundred years and go out to travel and practice by yourself, what will you do?"

Wu Jinglong showed an inexplicable look: "Isn't it normal for Master to travel alone for a hundred years?"

Bai Lingxiao: "..."

Zhang Jingmo: "..."

Both of them seem to have forgotten that Lu Guijiu's temperament is very different from ordinary people.

Bai Lingxiao said quietly: "Aren't you unhappy?"

Wu Jinglong said: "Since the master wants to travel abroad, he must have encountered a situation that is difficult to break through, and since the disciple is kept in the sect, it must be that the cultivation base will hinder the master. Besides, people who cultivate immortals have a long life, a hundred years. It's not too long either."

When Bai Lingxiao heard this, he showed a look of relief, and then patted Zhang Jingmo on the shoulder: "Look at my apprentice."

Zhang Jingmo: "..."

Wu Jinglong smiled and said, "Could it be that Senior Brother Lu is angry with Uncle Zhang?"

Bai Lingxiao said: "Yes, your Senior Uncle Zhang left your Senior Brother Lu in the sect for 100 years, and you haven't written a single letter back in these [-] years, so your Senior Brother Lu got angry."

Wu Jinglong said: "Not sending a single letter back for a hundred years...it's Master Zhang's fault."

Bai Lingxiao looked at his apprentice, feeling more and more satisfied, he said: "Qingyuan, it's not that I don't want to help you...Since it's not Duoshe, it must be that Lu Guijiu has changed his mind, why don't you Go and persuade him to stop being angry?"

Zhang Jingmo said coldly: "Dream!"

Bai Lingxiao said helplessly: "After all, you still have something wrong about this..."

Zhang Jingmo said angrily: "It's true that I did something wrong, but I had to. Lu Guijiu didn't understand my difficulties at all, and even tried to hurt me when I wasn't prepared!" After he finished speaking, he pointed at himself The very slight sword wound on the arm.

Bai Lingxiao: "..."

The more Zhang Jingmo said, the angrier he became: "It's fine if you hurt me, but you still mocked me—Lu Guijiu, Lu Guijiu, a bastard, see if I don't go back and beat him up!"

Bai Lingxiao said: "Qingyuan, don't get excited!"

Zhang Jingmo said: "Don't stop me!" After he finished speaking, he went directly against the wind.

Wu Jinglong looked at Zhang Jingmo who was leaving, blinked, and said, "Master, is Master really angry?"

Bai Lingxiao said: "Maybe."

Wu Jinglong said: "Could it be that Master Uncle is going to beat Senior Brother Lu?"

Bai Lingxiao thought for a while, then said again: "Maybe."

Wu Jinglong said: "Then nothing will happen to them?"

Bai Lingxiao said: "What could happen, it's nothing more than a quarrel between master and apprentice." At this time, he didn't realize that something was wrong with Lu Guijiu, but he only felt that Zhang Jingmo might be the one who gave birth to him Only when you are angry will you do such a thing.

Since he wasn't taken away, and he didn't practice any magical kung fu that would change people's minds, then thinking about it, he wouldn't see anything too serious—at least that's what Bai Lingxiao thinks right now.

However, he soon discovered that he was wrong, and that he was wrong too much.
