I respect him so fragrant

There are many long and many stone steps leading to Shuiyue Jingtian. At first glance, it seems that there is no end in sight.

Xie Yao walked patiently, without seeming tired.He has never walked this path well, and this is the first time.

Possibly the last time too.

A black shadow suddenly flashed past, and the silent mountain forest was suddenly windy, chilly.Xie Yao paused, and then saw a tall man in black clothes not far away.

It was the demon king Xuan Jiu.

Xuan Jiu straightened his clothes, raised his head proudly, and said, "We meet again, Shuiyue Xianzun."

Xie Yao walked straight past him without even giving him a look.

"Hey!" Xuan Jiu raised his eyebrows in dissatisfaction, "How dare you ignore this deity?"

"Wanyue Fairy Mountain is the territory of the Immortal Family. You, a downcast demon king, are clearly looking for death if you break in without permission." Xie Yao said without turning back, "I let you go, but you are not satisfied."

Xuan Jiu smiled instead of anger: "Yes, I am down and out, but what qualifications do you have to say about me. Now you are poisonous in your body, you have no cultivation base, and you can't even kill a little demon with low spiritual power. Is it worthy to be called a fairy?"

"Whether I am worthy of the title of Immortal Venerable or not, you don't need to make a conclusion."

"You are not worthy to be Jiang Gu's master at all."

Xie Yao stood still when he heard this.

"He joined your sect at the age of 14 and became the only apprentice under your sect. Others thought it was his blessing, that he was the one who climbed up to you. As for you, you were reluctant at first, and you were naked like a waste. He was wounded by a ferocious beast, and he lay there for three years without teaching him anything. Even now, he has no cultivation base, can't even use a sword, and has become a complete useless person."

"How can a cripple who has no power to restrain a chicken be worthy of teaching the Hanjiang clan's disciples?"

Xuan Jiu's tone was sarcasm, and he even broke Jiang Gu's background without any scruple, as if he didn't care how much trouble this last sentence would cause if it was heard by others.

Xie Yao finally turned around.

Seeing his indifferent expression, Xuan Jiu thought he was angry, so he raised the corner of his mouth and showed a triumphant smile: "Why, could it be that Shuiyue Immortal also feels that he is unworthy?"

Unexpectedly, Xie Yao just glanced at him indifferently, and said, "None of your business."

"you!"

Xuan Jiu's expression changed, and he subconsciously said, "Presumptuous!"

"Let go of your grandpa's wantonness, drag it like two hundred and fifty, and you think you have someone to offer?" Xie Yao's tone was calm, but full of sarcasm, "Jiang Gu is my apprentice, am I worthy of teaching?" It's none of your business. Let me tell you, no matter whether I am a useless person or not, this noble young master of the Hanjiang clan has been in my hands for the rest of his life, and he can't run away even if he wants to. Whether you like it or not, he was born to be me death is my ghost."

"Shameless!" Xuan Jiu said angrily, "What do you mean life is yours and death is your ghost? The Hanjiang generation and Xianmen will always be enemies, how can they be masters and apprentices! You are still the master!"

Xie Yao was amused by this frantic look; "I was born handsome, unrestrained and suave, I am the dream lover of many girls, why can't I be Jiang Gu's master?"

"If it is said that the Hanjiang clan and the Xianmen are always enemies, that is also the matter of the Hanjiang clan. What does it have to do with Jiang Gu? He never knows his identity, and what he does has nothing to do with the Hanjiang clan. You monster clan What is the intention of the Yaojun who appeared rashly and labeled him as an 'enemy of the Immortal Sect' without proof?"

"you!"

"What are you, why don't you hurry up and get out." Xie Yao said, "Otherwise I will call someone."

Xuan Jiu fully understood that his words would never be as sharp as this one, so he simply pointed it out and explained why he came: "Xie Yao, let me take him away."

Xie Yao frowned.

"He can't stay here, and he can't have anything to do with you anymore. Otherwise, sooner or later, he will die." Xuan Jiu said, "There are many things that can't be stopped right now, but as long as you help, he can get away! "

"What do you mean he will die?" Xie Yao said, "Speak clearly."

"You just need to know one thing, I'm doing it for his own good." Xuan Jiu didn't explain, but pursed his lips and said, "If you are also doing it for his own good, don't ask, just say whether you want it or not."

"I don't want to." Xie Yao frowned, "How can I believe you with such an attitude. Besides, Jiang Gu is a disciple of the Wanyue Sect, so life and death are not up to you to worry about."

Xuan Jiu summoned his long sword and stabbed Xie Yao in the chest: "Okay, then I will kill you first, and then take him away."

"what ever."

The long sword stopped on Xie Yao's chest, but it was only a short distance away.

"You are so ruthless." Xuan Jiu sneered, and clenched the hilt of his sword tightly, "I want to kill my apprentice, just because I don't believe what I said?"

He withdrew his sword, turned his face away and said, "Xie Yao, one day you will regret it."

……

After Xuan Jiu left, Xie Yao slowly supported the tree trunk beside him.At this moment, everything in his sight gradually lost its original color, leaving only endless darkness.

"Is it worth it?" Jiaoyue once asked him, "Just to see him intact?"

"I don't care if it's worth it or not," he said, "it's just willing."

"Have you considered whether the senior brother in charge agrees?"

"So what, I don't want to see the senior brother, but Jiang Gu."

The wind blows, and the stone steps are still long and winding.Those eyes, which are as beautiful as water, are astonishing, but they can no longer accept any scenery of mountains and rivers, and the world is filled with all kinds of things.

***

Three days later, the heads of the Four Immortals Sect and a group of family heads headed by the Fang family gathered in Xumi Lingjing to discuss the matter of ghosts falling into the market.

After another five days, all parties sent elites to the ghost market.

Wanyue Sect sent a team of hundreds of people headed by Immortal Jiaoyue, all of whom were elites, and there were dozens of immortal masters and elders alone.Jiang Gu was a nobody, even though he was under Xie Yao's school, he was not highly regarded by others.

And until before leaving, he didn't see Xie Yao again.

A few more days later, teams from all sides assembled near Guiluo Market and began to set up camp.

Although the purpose of this trip was to clean up the ghost market, it was considered that not only ghost monks lived in the city, but also commoner families who had rooted here a long time ago.The plan agreed upon by all parties is to persuade surrender first, followed by siege.So not long after setting up camp, Immortal Master Jiaoyue led several immortal elders into the city to face the ghosts and fallen city lord, while the rest stood still and stood by for orders.

Jiang Guzi didn't belong to the level that could follow Jiaoyue Xianzun to see ghosts and fall into the city lord, so he had to stay in the tent with other people.Fortunately, Mu Ye was with him on this trip, and the two of them had a chat companion.

On this day, Mu Ye came to Jiang Gu's tent and gave him a letter.

The handwriting on the envelope was both familiar and unfamiliar, especially the three words "Jiang Guqi", which looked so familiar, it seemed that Jiang Gu was there.

Jiang Gu opened the envelope with a puzzled face, and took out the letter inside.The content of the letter is very simple, only four words - do not read when you are safe.

The signature is Xie Yao.

"Master?" Jiang Gu was a little surprised, "This is a letter written by Master."

Mu Ye was staring at the six or seven letters in his hand in a daze, not knowing which one to open first.Hearing Jiang Gu's words, he couldn't help but poke his head out of curiosity, wanting to see what the words written by Shuiyue Xianzun were like.

Then he withdrew his gaze in disappointment, and said: "Shuiyue Xianzun's handwriting seems to be nothing more than that, not as good as mine."

Jiang Gu felt like he had found a treasure.He carefully put the letter away, and said, "Senior Brother Mu, can we write a letter and send it back?"

"Yes, but it will be very slow." Mu Ye thought for a while, and said, "In the past, it was delivered by the spiritual power circle, and it arrived in a few days. Now the situation is different, and it can only be done by people. It is estimated that it will take half a month to send it back. "

"I want to write a copy and send it back, is that okay?"

"Of course," Mu Ye said, "you can just write it and hand it over to the disciples of Banxuemen. They will be responsible for sending the letter."

"it is good."

Jiang Gu was extremely happy today.

On the second day, Jiang Gu sent the written reply to Banxuemen's tent, and unexpectedly saw two people.

"Xue Xianzun?" He looked at the person in front of him with some uncertainty, "Why are you here?"

He hadn't seen this immortal figure in the past few days.

"Could it be that this is..." Jiang Gu looked at the young man who was at the same height as Immortal Li Xue, half surprised and half puzzled, "Qihan?"

Having not seen him for several years, Li Qihan was also very surprised to see Jiang Gu: "Jiang Gu, are you Jiang Gu?"

Jiang Gu nodded.

Li Qihan stepped forward and hugged Jiang Gu, moistening his eyes: "It's been almost four years since I left, and I almost didn't recognize you."

Back then, Jiang Gu's family was poor and lacked clothes and food. He was always a head shorter than other children, and he was withdrawn and not talkative.After he found out, he always wanted to find Jiang Gu to fly a kite, and he always had a steamed bun in his sleeve.Tired of playing, he sat down and shared steamed buns with Jiang Gu, half of him and half of Jiang Gu.

Goodbye now, the thin and withdrawn child from back then is gone, standing in front of him is Jiang Gu, a handsome and elegant disciple of the Wanyue Sect.

"Me too," Jiang Gu smiled, choked up, "I almost didn't recognize you."

The Li Qihan in his memory was tall and fat. He loved to eat steamed buns, fly kites, and cry in front of him.

But Li Qihan in front of him was tall and thin, and his facial features could still be glimpsed back then, but he was no longer the fat boy he was back then.

It turns out that years can really change a lot of people.

It turns out that they are no longer the teenagers they used to be.

Li Qihan let go of his hands, patted Jiang Gu's shoulder again, and said, "I heard that you worshiped under Shuiyue Xianzun and became a closed disciple of Shuiyuexianzun, are you okay?"

"Yes." Jiang Gu said, "Okay."

"I wrote you a letter when I first arrived at Banxuemen, but you never replied once." Li Qihan said, "Why?"

Jiang Gu was taken aback for a moment. He wrote it back then and never received a reply.

Could it be... Fang Zhuyu's mocking face appeared in his mind.

"At that time, I was obsessed with practicing swords all day long, and I never cared about external affairs." Jiang Gu put away the distracting thoughts in his mind, and said guiltily, "I made you worry."

Li Qihan smiled when he heard the words: "I don't care too much."

Immortal Xue Xue, who had been standing coldly by the side, interrupted the conversation between the two, and said to Jiang Gu, "Who are you writing the letter to?"

Jiang Gu was stunned, and obediently handed over the letter: "To Master."

"What do you write?"

"This...do you want to say it too?"

"The situation is special. The contents of all letters sent back need to be inspected." Li Qihan explained, "Master did not intend to spy."

"Actually, it's nothing." Jiang Gu nodded in understanding, "I just wrote three sentences."

Don't read well - this is the content.

known - here is the response

Master is going to practice calligraphy - this is a straight man.

The author has something to say: I'm stuck, I'll change it tomorrow.
