In that distant little black house

Is Lu Guijiu afraid?Not only was he afraid, but he was also afraid of dying.

He was afraid that after leaving here, he would see the empty hall when he went out. He was afraid that even if he saw Zhang Jingmo standing on the hall, he would show contempt for him.

Fortunately, none of what Lu Guijiu was most afraid of happened. Zhang Jingmo didn't leave him, nor did he show any disgust at him. The master's expression was still calm, and there was even a hint of warmth in his gaze.

Lu Guijiu couldn't control himself anymore, and stepped forward to give Zhang Jingmo a hug with all his strength.

Zhang Jingmo felt a little pain from being hugged by Lu Guijiu, but he also knew that Lu Guijiu must be in a very complicated mood at this time, he smiled and said: "It's only been ten years, do you miss me that much?"

Lu Guijiu said in a low voice: "Ten years? How could it be ten years... It's been a hundred years since I was in that realm..."

As soon as he said that, Zhang Jingmo understood that the speed of time passing inside the wall was different from that outside the wall. In his opinion, a short period of ten years turned into a hundred years for Lu Guijiu.

But no matter what the process is, fortunately, the ending is good. Lu Guijiu survived. Not only did he successfully form the alchemy, but he also formed the most perfect ten-turn panacea.

Zhang Jingmo's heart was completely relieved, and because of this, he did not refuse Lu Guijiu's hug, but allowed Lu Guijiu to vent his emotions to his heart's content.

Lu Guijiu was almost choked up, he buried his head between Zhang Jingmo's hair, and then kept calling those two words that almost drove him crazy: "Master, master, master..."

Zhang Jingmo didn't know what Lu Guijiu saw on the other side of the wall. He thought that Lu Guijiu's emotional outburst was due to the two being separated for too long. He patted Lu Guijiu on the back and sighed: "It's so big You still act like a baby with me, really..."

When Lu Guijiu heard this, he sobbed.

Zhang Jingmo: "..." The child really doesn't know what to do when he cries.

Lu Guijiu's tears were rolling in his eyes, and he also noticed that Zhang Jingmo's attitude didn't seem to have changed, and a possibility popped up in his mind - if Zhang Jingmo knew what he was thinking, he would definitely not, given Zhang Jingmo's personality. As if he didn't know, and his master's attitude towards him was so natural at this time, did it mean that the scene he saw Zhang Jingmo scolding him for being disgusting was fake?

After this idea popped up in Lu Guijiu's mind, he couldn't get it out of his mind. His movements froze for a moment, and then he asked seemingly unintentionally: "Master, after I leave, do you have any questions?" What happened?"

When he said this, his eyes were fixed on Zhang Jingmo's face, as if he wanted to see something from Zhang Jingmo's expression.

But Zhang Jingmo had already made preparations, how could Lu Guijiu see his flaws, he didn't intend to be honest with Lu Guijiu now, so his face showed a blank look: "What's the matter?"

When Lu Guijiu heard these words, the stone that had been hanging in his heart for a hundred years finally fell to the ground, but at the same time, a trace of inexplicable regret emerged in his heart.

Ao Mian, who was standing on the side, saw the interaction between the master and the apprentice into his eyes. After seeing Zhang Jingmo's dazed look, there was an indistinct curiosity in his eyes.

But he didn't intend to get involved, so he just stood aside and watched quietly.

Zhang Jingmo said: "After you left, I had a dispute with that doll named Zhu Feng, and then she blew herself up and died. I was still wondering if she would be against you... Listen to what you said, you met What's up?"

Lu Guijiu showed an aggrieved expression when he heard the words, and he said: "Master, you don't know, I was miserable in there."

Then he recounted his experiences in detail, and said that when the spirit beasts kept attacking him, causing him to be seriously injured and lying on the ground unable to move, his eyes turned red again.

Seeing this, Zhang Jingmo had no choice but to comfort Lu Guijiu. He also knew that it was not easy to form an alchemy. Lu Guijiu must have suffered a lot in the past hundred years, and it is not bad to hear him vomit bitterness now.

Lu Shu was completely speechless to Lu Guijiu. As a person who accompanied Lu Guijiu anytime and anywhere, no one knew better than him how numb Lu Guijiu's emotions had been in the past hundred years.

He even suspected at that time that even after Lu Guijiu broke through the wall, he would look like a wooden man. However, what he never expected was that when he saw Zhang Jingmo for the first time, Lu Guijiu's emotional barrier It was broken.

He can not only laugh, but also cry, and the appearance of throwing himself into Zhang Jingmo's arms is like a wronged baby.

Lu Shu: "..." Does your master know that you are so duplicitous?

While comforting Lu Guijiu, Zhang Jingmo checked the condition of Lu Guijiu's body.

Lu Guijiu also opened up everything to Zhang Jingmo, allowing Zhang Jingmo's spiritual power to invade his body.

Zhang Jingmo had seen before that Lu Guijiu's aura seemed to be different from others, and after what Zhu Feng said, he knew that Lu Guijiu's golden core was not an ordinary thing.

But it wasn't until his spiritual power penetrated into Lu Guijiu's dantian and saw the black golden elixir that he understood what the difference meant.

If Lu Guijiu's spirit altar is a primordial place in the universe, then his golden elixir is a round of black moon hanging on it, surrounded by black spiritual energy, one can tell at a glance that it is by no means ordinary.

It was also the first time for Zhang Jingmo to see this kind of golden elixir. After he checked it out, he took back his spiritual power.

Lu Guijiu was like a child who brought his report card in front of his parents for review. After seeing Zhang Jingmo's investigation, he asked, "How is it?"

Zhang Jingmo showed a smile on his face, and he said: "The golden elixir formed by my apprentice is naturally the best."

Lu Guijiu grinned, he had always felt that his golden core was a little strange, and now he let go of his worries after hearing Zhang Jingmo's comment.

But after Zhang Jingmo finished praising Lu Guijiu, he changed the subject and said, "But if it's not necessary, don't expose your ten-turn elixir to outsiders."

Lu Guijiu nodded, he still understands the principle of Huai Bi's crime.

Zhang Jingmo said: "Your golden elixir seems a little strange, but I have checked that there is no magic energy in it, presumably it is because of the cultivation method...you don't have to worry too much."

Lu Guijiu smiled and said, "As long as Master is here, I won't worry."

Zhang Jingmo hummed, then reached out and tapped Lu Guijiu's forehead.

Lu Guijiu was taken aback by Zhang Jingmo's actions, he asked in confusion, "Master?"

Zhang Jingmo frowned and said, "The damage to your soul is still there..." He knew that there were herbs that could heal soul damage in the place where Zhu Feng was sitting, but the herb was very precious, and it had to be eaten immediately after picking it , it loses all its medicinal properties after a short delay.

Lu Guijiu said: "Is it still there? I didn't feel anything strange when I formed the alchemy."

Zhang Jingmo said helplessly: "You should have made a lot of noise when you formed the pill." But I don't know if Zhufeng Cemetery has a special barrier to avoid the eyes of Tiandao, or the pill formed by Lu Guijiu is a bit special.In short, except for the few bells, Zhang Jingmo didn't notice anything unusual.

While the master and apprentice were talking, they heard Zhu Feng's voice again.

Looking at the picture of the deep love between master and apprentice, she seemed a little impatient: "The alchemy has been formed, and the things have been taken, shouldn't it be time to go?"

Zhang Jingmo said with a smile: "It's time to go, thank you Senior Zhufeng for your kindness."

Zhu Feng snorted, but didn't want to say much.

Zhang Jingmo cast a look at Lu Guijiu and said, "Let's go."

Lu Guijiu nodded, and was about to walk out after Zhang Jingmo, when a soft voice suddenly wafted into his ear, that voice said softly: "Your master already knew about it."

Lu Guijiu's whole body stiffened for a moment.

Seeing this, the voice laughed softly again, and she said, "Your master didn't say you were disgusting, but... just pretended not to know."

Zhang Jingmo didn't know what Lu Guijiu heard at this time. He was still thinking about where to find the medicinal materials for Lu Guijiu to heal his soul after leaving here.Without noticing it at all, Lu Guijiu suddenly slowed down.

The voice belonging to Zhu Feng continued: "How is it? Are you sad?"

Lu Guijiu replied coldly: "Sad? Why should I be sad?"

Zhu Feng obviously didn't believe it: "Oh?"

Lu Guijiu said indifferently: "I don't need other people to intervene in the matter between me and Master. Even if you are an ancient power, so what, after all, you are already a pile of bones."

When Zhu Feng heard this, she was not angry, but laughed instead. She said: "Interesting, really interesting, I am a little curious, how far can you master and apprentice go?"

Lu Guijiu's expression was particularly careless. He stared at Zhang Jingmo's back, suppressing the boiling emotions deep in his heart, and said, "Naturally...the last step."

Zhu Feng laughed out loud, and didn't say anything more.

After leaving the main hall, the dark and long staircase before had turned into a thoroughfare. Standing in the hall, the three of them could see the faint light at the end of this avenue.

Zhang Jingmo recalled how embarrassed he was when he entered, he smiled and said, "It's interesting."

Lu Guijiu didn't know what Zhang Jingmo meant by saying "interesting". At this moment, his mind was completely occupied by Zhu Feng's sentence "Your master already knew it".

Master already knew about it, and knew about his dirty thoughts towards him, so why did he still pretend to be indifferent.He can still hug him and comfort him, as if he doesn't know anything.

Lu Guijiu really wanted to know the answer to this question, but he had a hunch that it was better not to know the answer.

Lu Shu watched Lu Guijiu's reaction with trepidation along the way, fearing that if he couldn't figure it out, he would rush up to Zhang Jingmo for a showdown.

But at any rate, Lu Guijiu still had a sliver of reason, and he didn't do such a thing that embarrassed him and Zhang Jingmo.

In fact, Lu Shu can understand Zhang Jingmo's mood. After finally raising an apprentice, he has some promise, but he has such thoughts for himself.Even if he knew, he could only be angry and indisputable, because he couldn't bear to drive Lu Guijiu out of the teacher's school, so for the sake of both of them, he just pretended not to know, and saw if he could find a way to get the apprentice back ...

What is that sentence called?I treat you as an apprentice, but you want to fuck me?

Lu Shu thought about it, and then laughed. Lu Guijiu heard his laughter and asked coldly, "Is it funny?"

Lu Shu hurriedly explained: "It's not funny, it's not funny, I was just wondering what Zhang Jingmo was thinking."

Lu Guijiu said, "Have you figured it out yet?"

Lu Shu laughed dryly: "Aren't you still thinking about it?"

Lu Guijiu's face turned cold, and he directly shut Lu Shu into the sea of ​​consciousness, telling him to shut up.

Lu Shu was very helpless, Lu Guijiu was obviously venting his anger, he was depressed and couldn't vent it, so he could only bully this poor man.

Zhang Jingmo was unaware of Lu Guijiu's complicated psychological activities at this time, he was in a very good mood, so his pace became brisk, and he was the first one to reach the exit among the three.

After arriving at the exit and seeing the outside world, Zhang Jingmo's eyes showed a hint of wonder.

Wherever they went, the sun was shining brightly, surrounded by greenery, surrounded by flowers and trees, it was like a paradise.

While observing the surroundings, Zhang Jingmo stepped onto the soft ground. Lu Guijiu and Ao Mianzhu walked out of the hall one by one.

The moment Lu Guijiu, who was at the end, stepped out of the hall, the building behind him made a loud noise and slowly sank into the ground.

Zhu Feng's voice sounded for the last time, and she said softly, "Goodbye."

"Goodbye." Ao Mian replied calmly, but he also knew in his heart that this farewell might not come true.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Jingmo also felt a tinge of melancholy in his heart, but this melancholy was quickly buried by joy, because he found medicinal materials around the hall that could heal Lu Guijiu's soul damage.

And this medicinal material has grown several litters.

Lu Guijiu saw that Zhang Jingmo jumped to the side of a nest of seemingly ordinary herbs with joy on his face, and then waved at himself.

Lu Guijiu took a few steps forward, walked up to Zhang Jingmo, squatted down like Zhang Jingmo, and looked at the herb.

After Zhang Jingmo found the herb, instead of reaching out to touch it, he pinched Lu Guijiu's wrist and said, "Pick this herb yourself and chew it in your mouth."

When Lu Guijiu was pinched by Zhang Jingmo's wrist, his heart trembled slightly, but there was no abnormality on his face. Hearing Zhang Jingmo's instructions, he nodded slightly.

There was a smile in Zhang Jingmo's eyes. He thought that he probably couldn't find what he wanted during this trip to the snow mountain. When I was about to leave this place at last, I found a spiritual herb that could heal my soul.

This spirit grass may seem ordinary, but it has the effect of reassuring the soul.It's just that the characteristic of this spirit grass is that it cannot be touched by others other than the treatment target.

Lu Guijiu glanced at Zhang Jingmo, stretched out his hand to pinch the leaves of the herb according to what he said, then gently picked it off, put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully.

The medicine didn't have any special taste at first, it was just slightly bitter, but after Lu Guijiu chewed it a few times, he vaguely felt a refreshing fragrance, he opened his mouth to say something, when his eyes suddenly went dark, He fell directly into Zhang Jingmo's arms.

The moment Lu Guijiu fell down, a touch of black appeared above his head. If you looked carefully, you would find that the black was a black dragon the size of a thumb.

Zhang Jingmo had expected this scene a long time ago, so he reached out to catch Lu Guijiu in advance, and watched the black dragon slowly float out of Lu Guijiu's body.

Heilong slowly opened his eyes, apparently still had memories of the past, he said: "Master."

Because of being licked and teased by the black dragon, he felt uncomfortable when he saw this soul. He hummed and said directly: "You should quickly eat this herbal medicine and recover your body."

Hearing the words, the black dragon was not in a hurry, but swam from above Lu Guijiu's head to Zhang Jingmo's shoulder. He gently rubbed his head against Zhang Jingmo's cheek, and said softly, "Master, don't forget me."

Zhang Jingmo thought that Lu Guijiu was really... Even an incomplete soul is so troublesome, he sighed, and said: "There are so many words, go quickly."

The black dragon whistled softly, but didn't move, as if saying to Zhang Jingmo, if you don't agree, I won't leave.

Zhang Jingmo felt a headache when he saw it. The shorter the time for the soul to leave the body, the better, and he couldn't argue with the black dragon, so he could only promise helplessly: "Okay, I promise you, you go quickly."

The black dragon was happy when he heard the words, and rubbed against Zhang Jingmo again, and then slowly cruised to the spirit grass.

I saw that after the black dragon landed on the spirit grass, the spirit grass had a slight halo and merged into the body of the black dragon.

The black dragon's original blind eye and body missing a lot of scales were all recovered under this little halo.

The black dragon also seemed to feel very comfortable, and there were bursts of roars from his mouth, which made Zhang Jingmo's head dizzy.

It wasn't until his body fully recovered that the black dragon rose up from the spiritual grass again. Although he still wanted to talk to Zhang Jingmo, he knew that if he continued to stay outside, it would be harmful to him.

So reluctantly, the black dragon returned to Lu Guijiu's head.

It's just that his eyes are still fixed on Zhang Jingmo, as if he is looking at a dream that cannot be fulfilled in this life.

Zhang Jingmo also noticed Heilong's eyes. He sighed lightly, but stretched out his fingers to touch the Heilong's head lightly, and then said: "Go."

The black dragon neighed before it merged into Lu Guijiu's body.

The soul entered his body, but Lu Guijiu did not wake up, and was still sleeping deeply in Zhang Jingmo's arms.

Zhang Jingmo knew that Lu Guijiu was going to sleep for a while, so he took out a blanket from Xu Mijie, spread it on the ground, and then put Lu Guijiu on it.

Ao Mian, who had been standing by the side without saying a word, saw this scene and asked, "Why?"

Zhang Jingmo knew what Ao Mian meant, he was asking himself why he pretended not to know, why he treated Lu Guijiu as well as before.

According to the normal situation, the master knows the disciple's thoughts, so shouldn't he either correct it or stay away.And judging by the expression in Zhang Jingmo's eyes, he didn't seem to be interested in Lu Guijiu.

Zhang Jingmo looked at Lu Guijiu who was sleeping on the ground, and said calmly, "In this world, everything is not black or white."

Ao Mian continued to listen.

Zhang Jingmo said: "I took this child into my family when he was four years old. In the following years, although he was far away from each other, he still relied on me very much."

Ao Mian frowned: "So you have to tolerate him?"

Zhang Jingmo shook his head, and he said, "I have my own reasons." The desire to take advantage at the beginning seems to have some other emotions, but Zhang Jingmo doesn't intend to sort it out, because no matter what the reason is, He would never let Lu Guijiu leave him.

It can be said that Zhang Jingmo has lived for Lu Guijiu all his life.

As for other emotions derived from getting along, that's another matter.

Seeing the indifference in Zhang Jingmo's eyes, Ao Mian frowned even tighter: "He...is there any other use for you?"

In one sentence, it is the ancient power after all.

Zhang Jingmo laughed, and then directly admitted, he said: "Yes."

Ao Mian did not expect Zhang Jingmo to admit it so readily, he seemed a little puzzled: "This usefulness...is so great that you can risk your life to protect it?"

Hearing this, Zhang Jingmo smiled disdainfully, and said, "What does fate matter?"

Ao Mian said: "Aren't you afraid that he will know?"

Zhang Jingmo said lightly: "I won't let him know."

Ao Mian stared fixedly at Zhang Jingmo, and after a long time, slowly shook his head and sighed: "I can't understand you."

No, you have already seen it very clearly. To put it bluntly, Zhang Jingmo is the one who will bring all good things to Lu Guijiu, but he will not care whether Lu Guijiu wants his kindness or not. I don't want to see Zhang Jingmo being so miserable for him.Everything he did was for Lu Guijiu——even more for himself.

Zhang Jingmo said: "So what can I do if I understand."

Ao Mian thought for a while and said: "That's right."

Zhang Jingmo also laughed when he heard the words, but there was no real meaning in this smile.

Ao Mian said: "I'm starting to be curious."

Zhang Jingmo looked up at Ao Mian.

Ao Mian didn't say what he was curious about, but said: "If he wants to harm you in the future, I can help you once."

Zhang Jingmo directly thanked him.

After a moment of silence, Ao Mian said again: "What are you going to do when he wakes up?"

Zhang Jingmo looked around: "Pick some herbs and go back to Lingxu Sect, what about you?"

Ao Mian said: "I won't go back with you." With the help of Zhang Jingmo, he solved the danger of disappearing, so he naturally wanted to go around and see the great rivers and mountains ten thousand years later, which are the same as ten thousand years ago. what a difference.

Zhang Jingmo had already expected Ao Mian's choice, he smiled and said, "Bon voyage."

Ao Mian nodded: "You too."

When Lu Guijiu woke up in a daze, he only saw Zhang Jingmo, his master was sitting beside him, carefully looking at a medicinal herb in his hand, and found that he didn't look up after waking up, Instead, he asked, "Are you awake?"

Lu Guijiu snorted lightly.

Zhang Jingmo put his hand on Lu Guijiu's forehead, and after confirming that his soul was complete, he smiled and said, "Well, good boy."

Lu Guijiu rubbed his cheek against Zhang Jingmo's hand a few times.
