Small bones

After staying in Tianyu Mountain for so long, Bai Xiaogu's cultivation has not improved much. One of the biggest reasons is that he can't find his way.

He doesn't like sword repair and law repair.

He doesn't like physical and qi cultivation either.

Although he went to many secret realms and killed many beasts, he resisted all offensive spells in his bones.He doesn't want to hurt people, and he doesn't like to be hurt, and holding a sword in his hand is equivalent to telling others——

Your sword can penetrate my chest.

Seeing this miraculous illusion now, Bai Xiaogu had the urge to practice seriously for the first time.

He likes this beautiful illusion, likes this change at will, likes this power that can protect people without wielding knives and guns!

Li Fan is alive.The danger of this secret realm was also removed by Qin Jiuji.

Bai Xiaogu had no more nostalgia, and left this place with his master, leaving Tianyu Mountain where he had lingered for several years.

Qin Jiuji took Bai Xiaogu to the mundane world. This was the first time Xiao Kulou came to the mundane world, and the first time he saw a mortal with a lifespan of only a few dozen years.

Bai Xiaogu was surprised and fresh everywhere, but even a remote town dazzled him.

so many people!

But none of them are monks...

So many houses!

But it's as crisp as paper...

So many delicacies!

Hi, this one really looks good and smells good... Woo, I can't taste the bone.

Bai Xiaogu asked Qin Jiuji: "Master, why did you bring your apprentice to the world?"

Qin Jiuji clenched his fists and coughed for a while, pressing his chest and said sweetly: "There are all kinds of people in the world. Although their lifespan is only a few dozen years, their lives are as wonderful as a thousand-year-old monk."

"I brought you into the mortal world for you to observe and feel."

"The reality of illusion lies in traveling the world. You need to observe this world, feel this reality, and understand the spirit hidden in it."

"Not only creatures have spirits, but everything has spirits: land, rocks, man-made houses, wooden tables, chairs, stools and even clothes... You need to feel their spirits and understand their existence before you can transform everything that is real."

Bai Xiaogu listened very seriously, and after nodding repeatedly, he couldn't help asking: "How can the illusion be real?"

Isn't this self-contradictory? Illusion is bound to be false, so how could Master say that illusion creates everything that is real?

Qin Jiuji took a deep look at him, and said in a low voice: "When performing illusions, you must believe that everything is real."

Bai Xiaogu's heart tightened inexplicably, and he asked again: "What if the caster takes the illusion as real and can't get out?"

Qin Jiuji lowered his eyes: "This is the backlash of illusion."

All powerful spells against the sky have backlash.

Just like talismans and spells, the backlash of illusion is loss.

Once the practitioner is not determined enough, once he has no attachment to the truth, he will fall into eternal falsehood.

Bai Xiaogu said vigilantly: "Bone will definitely be able to tell the truth from the fake."

Qin Jiuji: "Yes."

The two masters and apprentices lived in seclusion in the city, and Qin Jiuji took him all over the world's mountains and rivers, taught him to understand the world under his feet, and led him to make friends with the world.

Have they seen? Princes, generals, experienced? Common people, made friends with wealthy businessmen and heroes, and stepped into the mountains to see? Bandits and hermits.

After watching the secular world, Qin Jiuji took him all over the Twelve Immortal Mountains, to see Zhaoyao Mountain, Taihua Mountain, Jifeng Mountain, and Lingqiu Mountain...

Bai Xiaogu learned about sword cultivation, law cultivation and even magic cultivation and ghost cultivation.

The well-informed little skull, whose illusion skills are increasing day by day, has the posture of being better than blue.

Qin Jiuji's body is weak, he doesn't have much to eat, and he prefers a sip of strong wine.

Bai Xiaogu is diligent and capable, and he also tried his best to coax his master to eat some nutritious soup.This day, he brought a jar of good wine happily, and greeted the man leaning on the bamboo chair: "Master, the bone-made peach blossom wine is ready to drink!"

Qin Jiuji glanced at it, and responded lightly: "Yes." The man sat up, obviously looking forward to it.

Bai Xiaogu put the wine jar firmly on the table, and took out a set of wine utensils from the Qiankun bag, which they bought at the foot of the mountain not long ago. Add hot water and ice cubes.

If you want to drink hot wine in winter, you can pour hot water into the wine; if you want to drink ice in summer, you can also put ice cubes to chill it.

The jug is ingenious, and the wine glass is also ingenious. What Bai Xiaogu likes most is that the craftsman carved two characters on the bottom of the cup: the bone character is carved under his wine glass, and the word cloud is carved under the master's cup.

This is not intentional, but a coincidence.

Guzi means bone china, and cloud is the name of the porcelain factory.

——Yunji Bone China.

Bai Xiaogu fell in love with this wine set at first sight, but he didn't use it much after buying it. The main reason is that he kept his master in check and didn't let him drink too much, although his master drank a lot secretly...

Today, Bai Xiaogu was uncharacteristically, pouring wine one after another, unknowingly, the jar of peach blossoms was more than half full.

Qin Jiuji: "..."

Bai Xiaogu smiled: "Master, do you want to drink more?"

Qin Jiuji: "Remove the illusion."

Bai Xiaogu: "!"

It was still discovered.

Blue comes from blue and is better than blue, Bai Xiaogu's illusion skills are indeed astonishing.

Qin Jiuji didn't realize it at first, if Bai Xiaogu hadn't exposed himself, he might really want to finish this jar of peach gum chicken soup!

Bai Xiaogu withdrew his illusion, and the tangy aroma of peach blossom wine turned into the delicious aroma of chicken soup, and the wine, which was as pure as rainwater, also turned into milky white chicken soup.

The jar is real, the wine utensils are real, and the people are also real, but this wine...is fake wine!

Bai Xiaogu laughed and said, "It's still the master who is so powerful that he can easily see through the illusion of the apprentice."

It's not easy, otherwise Qin Jiuji wouldn't have drank half a pot of chicken soup!

Qin Jiuji looked at him: "Do you know what's wrong with this illusion?"

This is going to be a replay, Bai Xiaogu is busy answering questions, from the layout to the equipment to his acting skills...

Qin Jiuji put it bluntly: "Logic."

Bai Xiaogu blinked: "Huh?"

Qin Jiuji explained: "There is a problem with your logic, you usually let me drink so much wine?"

One word awakened the dreamer, Bai Xiaogu: "Oh, I made a mistake!"

He supervised Master's drinking every day on weekdays. He would never let Master drink half a glass if he could take a sip, and never let him drink a glass if he could drink half a glass. Today, in order to let Master drink more chicken soup, he wished that he could finish a jar.

Instead, the master noticed it.

Qin Jiuji nodded his forehead: "Get the wine."

Bai Xiaogu pretended not to hear it, and continued to reflect: "It's not right... I can't stop you, I want you to drink an extra bowl of chicken soup..."

If he stops him, what's the use of Qin Jiuji just drinking two small cups of chicken soup?

Although it has been seen through now, at least the master drank half of the jar!

Qin Jiuji sneered: "If you cast illusions on the chicken soup every time, I will take it every time? Drinking, wouldn't it be..."

Before he finished speaking, Bai Xiaogu also understood, and he said regretfully: "Yes!" It was because he was short-sighted and forgot such a long-term plan. Two cups of chicken soup, in the end not only can drink a lot of chicken soup, but also give up alcohol!

Killing two birds with one stone? He screwed it up!

Bai Xiaogu thought of another thing: "Not necessarily, you won't get drunk after drinking chicken soup, and you'll still notice it when the time comes..."

Qin Jiuji looked at him: "How do you know you won't get drunk after drinking chicken soup?"

Bai Xiaogu was startled.

Qin Jiu's silence came to an end: "The real illusion has become real."

Bai Xiaogu's eyes lit up, obviously he had realized it.

As the saying goes, the disciples of the church starve to death the master.

Later on, even Qin Jiuji couldn't tell whether he was drinking peach blossom wine or peach gum chicken soup!

The two of them, master and apprentice, have been together for more than [-] years. During this period, they talked a lot, including each other's past.

Bai Xiaogu didn't hide anything from his master, and explained himself clearly: "I don't know where I was born, and I don't know why I am in that valley, um... Gu always feels that I have forgotten something? What, even It’s almost forgotten.”

Qin Jiuji's fingers trembled slightly.

Bai Xiaogu said again: "But the feeling is still there!"

Qin Jiuji: "..."

Bai Xiaogu's comprehension in this area is really high. I only heard him say: "It was taught by Master: Feelings are the most important. Feelings can't be wrong, and feelings can't be forgotten."

Just like the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers that he has admired before, he has forgotten how high the mountain is, how many trees and grasses there are, and the direction and trend of the river water...

But he remembers "heavy mountains and mountains", "luxuriant and lush", and "clear to the bottom"; he remembers that the mountains are like the skirts of goddesses, the trees are emerald green inlaid on the skirts, and the rivers are like milk that breed all creatures.

The details are left in the depths of memory, only the feelings at that time are engraved in my heart.

Bai Xiaogu turned his head and smiled brightly at Qin Jiuji: "I will never forget it!"

He remembered the feeling in his heart, the indescribable warmth, and the harmonious love that soaked his whole body.

He remembered the person who forgot his name, Su Yu who led him out of the valley, the master who gave him a new life, and...

"Sometimes," Bai Xiaogu said to Qin Jiuji, "I have a really ridiculous idea."

Qin Jiuji: "Huh?"

Bai Xiaogu said softly: "It seems...it's always there."

Qin Jiu's heart twitched.

Bai Xiaogu's cheeks were slightly red, and he said slowly: "It seems that you have been here all the time."

The man in the dream, Su Yu, the master...

It's the same feeling for him.

They are obviously completely different people with no connection, but Bai Xiaogu feels the same care and love from them.

The way they looked at him was the same.

Qin Jiuji hadn't heard what Bai Xiaogu was saying for a long time.

The little guy who has seen a lot of things in the world can no longer talk to himself in his heart.

Now I heard it clearly again.

The peak of Bai Xiaogu's illusion comes from his super sensibility.

Even if the memory is gone, the heart is always the same.

Whether this is luck or misfortune, Qin Jiuji doesn't know.

Qin Jiuji didn't leave on purpose. The body he made only has a lifespan of 20 years, and being able to accompany Bai Xiaogu for more than [-] years is already trying his best.

Yun Shaozhao couldn't bear Bai Xiaogu, and Bai Xiaogu couldn't bear Yun Shaozhao.

However, the fateful separation will eventually fall.

Just like the real them.

Qin Jiuji was seriously ill, and he was unable to get out of bed as time was running out.

Bai Xiaogu guarded him day and night, not even daring to close his eyes, for fear that when he opened them, his master would become a flying fairy.

Qin Jiuji called him weakly: "Xiaogu."

Bai Xiaogu quickly shook his weak hand: "Master..."

Qin Jiuji: "I will teach you the last lesson as a teacher."

Bai Xiaogu's eyes were filled with tears, but they never fell. He was no longer the little white bone who cried at every turn. He knew that his tears hurt the one who loved him.

——When he cries, Master will be sad.

He can't cry.

Qin Jiuji patted the back of his hand and said slowly, "Death is not terrible..."

Bai Xiaogu bit his lower lip, suppressing his heart and sobbing: "Master..."

Qin Jiuji looked at the snow-white bed curtain, using this broken body to deduce the pain of parting: "There is no reincarnation in this world, and death is the eternal disappearance."

"But that's what makes life worth living."

"There is no next time, this life is the only one for eternity."

He turned his head to look at Bai Xiaogu, and said softly: "In this life, I am very complete."

Bai Xiaogu's eyes were filled with tears, but he was still trying to smile: "Master, Gu... Gu is very happy to... meet you."

Qin Jiuji smiled, "Good boy."

Bai Xiaogu lay before the collapse, weeping so hard that he couldn't help it.

There is no need to be patient anymore: cherish his tears, pity his crying, those who don't want him to be sad have left.

The cold body, the cold bed, the cold bamboo forest.

Bai Xiaogu stood alone in front of the tombstone, as if he was the only one in the world.

After a long time, he put away his useless tears and embarked on a new journey.

He remembered how he felt in his heart, he believed in his own feelings, and he knew that somewhere, somewhere, at a certain time, he would meet him again.

To meet this very important person in his life.
