The villain's junior brother turned out to have a crush on me

Meng Chen followed Zhong Lijing to Taixuanzong.

When he first entered the realm of cultivation in the mortal world, he didn't understand anything, and he didn't know anyone. Pei Yuze, the senior brother on Tianji Peak, was also a warm-hearted and cold-hearted person who was hard to get close to. Meng Chen had no choice but encountered a bottleneck every time he practiced. , can only bite the bullet and ask his master for help.

After many times, Meng Chen gradually discovered that Zhong Lijing was not as aloof and indifferent as he imagined.The other party has already stood at the top of the cultivation world, but he is a stupid boy who has just started and doesn't even know how to refine Qi. Every time he asks stupid questions, it makes people laugh. I'm afraid that even a disciple in the foundation period will not have the patience to answer him.

But Zhong Lijing always answers all questions.

Although the man's voice and expression were always indifferent, he would always answer every doubt he had in detail. If he didn't understand what he said once, he would explain it twice, and if he didn't understand it twice, he would explain it three times until Meng Chen understood.

Meng Chen also went from being trembling and walking on thin ice at the beginning to relaxing his heartstrings. Finally, every time he took the scroll and rushed to Tianyin Pavilion where Zhong Lijing lived, his steps were brisk as if he was about to fly.

After all, he is only a 13-year-old half-year-old boy, and he will feel lonely when he is bored in the house all day.Although the master is always cold, at least he will talk to him, making him feel that he is not alone on this boundless and empty Tianji Peak.

He made rapid progress, learned more and more, and finally realized that Zhongli Jing's way of cultivation was different from that of ordinary monks—his master practiced the way of ruthlessness.

Taishang forgets feelings, is ruthless and fair, not moved by emotions, not disturbed by feelings.People who practice the path of ruthlessness cannot experience joy, anger, sorrow, and joy.

After Meng Chen knew this, he was a little happy at first. Since the master cultivated the way of ruthlessness, no matter how stupid he is, the master should not drive him out because of his disgust.But he thought about it again, if a person can't feel all the emotions, is it really a good thing?

All joy, joy, warmth, and happiness have nothing to do with oneself. Even pain and sorrow are part of the life process, and it is a proof that a person has truly lived.If there is no way to experience everything, wouldn't life become dull?

Even if you have really cultivated the Supreme Dao, but you are still alone, with no one around you to share with, what's the point?

Meng Chen knew that his thinking might be too narrow, the master probably didn't care about things like happiness and sorrow.But he still quietly increased the time he spends with his master. Apart from asking about his homework, he ran to Tianyin Pavilion when he had nothing to do. It is a plate of snacks that he finds particularly delicious, sometimes it is a grasshopper that he learned to weave from the mortal world, and sometimes it is a small paper crane that he folded casually, secretly rubbing it to make the master a little "popular".

Maybe Zhong Lijing didn't see it, or maybe he saw it and wouldn't pay attention to these naive things.His attitude has not changed in any way, and he will always be the ruthless, desireless, and calm Immortal Zhongli.

Meng Chen was a little bit disappointed, but he understood that everyone has his own way, and it was impossible for him to change his master so easily.But he still enjoys doing these little things, because he has understood the principle of reciprocating love since he was a child. If others treat him well, he must treat others well to be at ease.Zhong Lijing pulled him out of the mud, gave him a shelter, and taught him reading, practice, and swordsmanship, so that he could become independent and strong from being weak and deceitful, fulfilling his extravagant dream when he was struggling in the dust. An incredible dream.

Zhong Lijing is his benefactor, and even more his mentor, the person he vowed very early on to repay him throughout his life.

Later, he was trapped in that cave. Even though his hands and feet were disabled and his bones were broken, he never had the idea of ​​suicide.Because he believed that even if the entire Taixuanzong people doubted him, even if his brothers and sisters who were as close as brothers betrayed him, his master would definitely believe in his innocence.

One day, he finally escaped from that cage by chance.But fate always seemed to be targeting him deliberately. There was a heavy rain without warning, and because of the weakness of his hands and feet, he staggered and fell into the muddy rain after walking only a few steps.

A pair of unstained cloud boots appeared in his line of sight, Meng Chen's heart trembled, he suddenly raised his head, and before he could call out "Master", the cold tip of the sword held his throat.

The feeling of the sky falling was nothing more than that, at that moment, Meng Chen finally experienced complete collapse and despair.

"Master," his body was trembling slightly because of the cold and pain, and his tearful eyes fixed on Zhong Lijing's indifferent face, "Don't even you believe me?"

Zhong Lijing watched him quietly for a moment, the sword in his hand resting firmly on his pale neck.

"It has nothing to do with this matter." The immortal standing on the cloud said calmly, "It's just that the destiny cannot be violated."

In a few words, Meng Chen understood the truth.

Once you stand at the height of Zhonglijing, you can communicate with the way of heaven and get a glimpse of the important secrets on the way of cultivation.The secret that Zhong Lijing got was that one person would destroy the Ruthless Dao and ruin hundreds of years of practice.

If other people know the news, they will probably try their best to stay away from the person in their destiny, and it is best not to meet them in this life; but Zhong Lijing is different, he is tough and arrogant, and he does not believe that his fate will be reversed because of another person. I don't believe that my indestructible heart will be shaken by a stranger.So he went against the current and took the initiative to find the person in the secret, and then on a snowy night, he took the dying child who was freezing on the side of the road as his apprentice.

It was originally a provocation to the way of heaven, but who knew that he would be bound in the cocoon in the end.

When the Ruthless Dao faintly showed signs of cracking, the arrogant and conceited Xianzun finally had to admit that the destiny cannot be violated.

But it is impossible for him to give up his avenue for an apprentice, so there is only one thing he can do——

Killer testifies.

The Dao is ruthless, if it is only blocked by a mere person, wouldn't his practice for nearly a thousand years become a complete joke?

Therefore, even if Zhong Lijing knew that Meng Chen was wronged and all the pain and suffering he had endured, it had nothing to do with this matter.

He only knew that if he killed the person in front of him, no one would stop him from moving forward.

Meng Chen laughed when he heard it, tears mixed with the rain: "So, you saved me in the first place just to kill me with your own hands, didn't you?"

Kill me and fulfill your way.

As expected of the Immortal Zhongli respected by everyone in the fairy world, it is ridiculous that he would have worried that the Master was always alone, and maybe he would feel lonely.

It's ridiculous that he always tries his best to make Master happy, even if it's only a little bit.

But Immortal Zhongli, a high-ranking, high-minded Zhongli Immortal, how could such a thing be needed.

"You don't need to do it." Meng Chen stretched out his hand to hold the blade in front of him, the blood in his palm flowed down the shiny blade, dripping into the soil, "I'll do it myself."

"Master," he finally said, "I don't owe you any more."

Ten years of care, ten years of teaching, ten years of kindness...

I will pay you back with my life. From then on, you and I will have nothing to do with each other.

-

Because Taotie, who was at the peak of the God Transformation Realm, unexpectedly appeared in the Taixu Secret Realm, and there were almost unexpected large-scale casualties. The leader worried that there were other dangers beyond control in the secret realm, so he temporarily suspended the exploration of the secret realm.

Although the disciples felt a little regretful, they also understood that life was the most precious, if they had met Taotie in the stage of transforming into gods, they would have already lost all their scum.

Speaking of which, it was also fortunate that Immortal Zhongli was able to show up at the critical moment and kill that Taotie, otherwise he would have lost many disciples.

All the disciples were very excited when the Immortal Master Zhongli returned, especially the disciples who had just started in recent years, they all wanted to see what the Immortal Venerable was like.It's a pity that the Immortal Venerable returned to Tianji Peak after leaving the secret realm. While all the disciples were sighing, they couldn't help feeling a lot of envy and jealousy towards the four personal disciples of Zhongli Immortal Venerable on Tianji Peak.

At this time, Meng Chen, the second disciple of Tianji Peak, was in the Tianyin Pavilion where Zhonglijing lived.

After Zhong Lijing rescued him and killed the Taotie, he asked him to follow him to Tianyin Pavilion.Meng Chen silently followed the other party all the way, quietly looking at the familiar figure from the back.

When he was young, he followed behind this figure, and he always felt tall and majestic, which made him admiring and admiring, and also felt full of security.

The teenage little Meng Chen is not as calm as he is now, and he often thinks happily in his heart, look, such a powerful immortal is my master.

He will protect me, just like my father protected me when I was very young.

But after that rainy night, everything changed.

Not to mention hatred, after all, Zhong Lijing really taught him for ten years, and if it wasn't for Zhong Lijing, he would have died at the age of 13.

It's just that other feelings are gone, admiration, reverence, love...all the ties were completely cut off with that sword, and now he sees Zhong Lijing as just a stranger with a familiar face.

The door closed automatically, and the Tianyin Pavilion was cold and empty, and the white smoke of sandalwood burning in the incense burner curled up in the air quietly.

Meng Chen stood still in front of the door, lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, without saying a word.

Zhong Lijing noticed that the people behind him hadn't kept up, so he stopped and turned around, and saw the young man standing in front of the door with his hands down, his slender eyelashes drooping slightly, and he couldn't see the emotion in his eyes, and there was an indescribable alienation and... alertness in his whole body .

Zhong Lijing looked at him for a while, then said, "Come here."

Meng Chen paused slightly, then walked over, still keeping a distance from Zhong Lijing.He thought that with Zhong Lijing's character, he should first test his homework and practice during this period, and was carefully thinking about how to respond, but saw Zhong Lijing put two jugs of wine on the table with a flick of his hand.

Looking at the white porcelain pot carved with peach patterns, Meng Chen felt lost for a moment.

"Peach blossom wine at the mortal market." Zhong Lijing stared at him, his voice was as cold as ice spring under the moon, "I remember, you used to like it."

Meng Chen used to like this wine.

One day in the spring of a certain year, he and his brothers skipped the boring school history and went down the mountain to participate in the "Hundred Flowers Festival".At that time, the inns on the street were selling peach blossom wine, which tasted sweet and had a faint floral fragrance.The three of them ordered a few jugs of wine and sat by the window on the second floor of the inn. While drinking and chatting, they watched the flower market show through the window, enjoying themselves.

They stayed outside until evening before returning. Meng Chen hid two bottles of peach blossom wine in his sleeves. He planned to slip back to Qixue Residence quietly, but inadvertently saw a figure sitting alone in the pavilion beside Tianji Cliff.

The white-clothed fairy, with black hair and silver crown, is cold and arrogant, and just a silhouette is awe-inspiring, but Meng Chen looks at the silhouette in the sunset from a distance, and feels a little sad in his heart.

He and his senior brothers had fun playing outside, and almost couldn't think of returning home, but the master was alone on this high and lonely Tianji Peak, from sunrise in the east to the first moonlight.

Every day, every year, it is like this.

He suddenly felt guilty, and he didn't care that he would be punished if he went down the mountain without permission, so he ran into the pavilion and put two bottles of peach blossom wine on the stone table with a "thump".

Zhong Lijing, who was meditating, opened his eyes and looked at Meng Chen lightly. Meng Chen boldly said, "Master, this is the wine I bought secretly down the mountain. It tastes great. Would you like to try it?"

He originally thought that Zhong Lijing would not talk to him, but he never thought that the other party would look at the peach blossom wine, and actually reach out and pick up a bottle.

Meng Chen was stunned for a moment, then his heart was full of enthusiasm, he hurriedly used his lightness skills and rushed to the house to get the wine cup, poured a glass for him himself, watched Zhong Lijing drink it slowly with eyes full of expectations, and asked, "Is it good?"

Zhong Lijing put down his wine glass: "It's okay."

Meng Chen knew that the master's evaluation was already giving him face. His master is omnipotent. He has been to so many magical places in this great world, and he has tasted so many fine wines in the fairy world. A bottle of cheap peach blossom wine in the market is in my eyes.But he was still so happy that he couldn't help himself, so he simply poured himself a cup and drank it with his head up, saying boldly: "Master, let's not go home today if we don't get drunk!"

Meng Chen is actually not a good drinker, but this day he really had the idea of ​​not getting drunk and not going home—in fact, he wanted to see Zhong Lijing get drunk once, and wanted to see his always indifferent and cold master get drunk. Will it show a little different expression?

The two bottles of peach blossom wine were drained quickly, and Meng Chen ran to the storeroom to bring another jar of Yunzuixian wine, and by the way, ordered two large bowls from the back kitchen.Zhong Lijing just let him go, let him pour a large bowl of wine with malicious intentions, and handed it over with a smile.

It's a pity that Meng Chen drank himself on the stone table in the end, but he couldn't see Zhong Lijing showing a little drunk.

Mistake.He lay down on the table and thought dizzily, probably the venerables in the Mahayana realm would not be invaded by the power of alcohol.

He has no memory of what happened after that, but he only remembers that when he woke up again, he was lying in his snow habitat, with a thin quilt neatly covering his body.

For Meng Chen, this was already a matter in his previous life, even in this life, four or five years have passed.If no one mentioned it, he would not remember it, but he never thought that Zhong Lijing would bring back two pots of peach blossom wine.

This is not at all like what Immortal Zhongli would do.

In the past, he would have been overjoyed, but now...

"When I was young, my disciple was ignorant, careless and rude, and greedy for drinking," Meng Chen said in a low voice, "now I don't know it anymore."

Zhong Lijing stared at his face: "Now, don't you like it?"

"Yes."

After a long silence, Meng Chen said, "I don't like it anymore."
