He was a model in the world of self-cultivation in his last life.

30 years ago, that unexpected evening.

The shadows of the two children were stacked together, stretching long.

The thin boy struggled to carry the taller "corpse" on his back, while the older boy dragged his feet on the ground and walked back up the mountain with his back and half dragging him.

Jiuli's memory is already very hazy.

He couldn't remember how miserable and ugly the person he picked up was.

He only remembered the involuntary surprise when he heard the man's weak breathing, lying on his gently rising and falling chest, and heard his heartbeat.

Later, Jiuli arrived at the Valley of Medicine.

He forgot that this person once walked into his life in this way; he didn't know how much this person endured silently, how much he paid, just to walk to him.

Thinking of the hardships that his eldest brother suffered in those years, Jiuli couldn't help his eyes burning.

Gu Changling's eyes were also a little moist.

In fact, their time together was very short.

It's really short, just two days.

But he will never forget the gentle and cherishing strength of those little hands touching him.

The little child hugged him and said to him, "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt."

"You'll be fine, don't be afraid."

"When you get well, you can't leave me and go. You stay and don't go, okay? I will support you, give you food, sleep with you, and play with you. Well, I will talk to you, okay?" ?”

The child talked a lot about the future they grew up with in their immature voice.

He said he would not let others bully him.

He said, when they grow up to half the height of the door, they will leave here, find a place they like, build a nest that belongs to them, live there and never leave again...

For the first time, Gu Changling felt that he was needed.

For the first time, someone unsparingly warmed his world.

Gu Changling put Jiuli's hand on his heart, and said full of remorse: "After I recovered from my injury, I searched for you for a long time, and only later did I know that you went to the Valley of Medicine to learn art from a teacher."

"I have worshiped Jiang Fengyun as my teacher and practiced martial arts with all my heart. I hope that one day I can walk up to you in an upright manner and serve you loyally. But wait and wait, after several years, you haven't come back from the Valley of Medicine. I can't help it." I went to see you secretly, but I didn't expect...it's all my fault, I should have gone to you sooner, it's all my fault for going too late..."

"No, it's not too late."

Jiuli looked at Gu Changling and smiled slowly.

He shook his head and said again: "Brother, it's not too late at all."

Gu Changling bowed his head and kissed his hand, holding back the pain in his heart.

He didn't want Jiuli to recall those unhappy past events, so he also smiled, and continued: "The Lingyun Sword Sect has inquired about me, they know how much the Taoist priest weighs, they don't believe it like the villagers, but they are also afraid of me, Don’t dare to get close to me. Jiang Fengyun hugged his ice coffin all day long, and gave me a few secret books, and never taught me. I can read and learn in the Netherworld.”

"Yes, aren't you a disciple of the Lingyun Sword Sect? How did you become a Nether child again?"

Jiuli finally remembered this doubt.

Gu Changling smiled and explained the reason.

Gu Changling was born with a sword body, and he was born with the material for sword practice.

Back then, he took the cheat book, gestured at the picture for a while, and soon figured out the way.

In order to become stronger, Gu Changling found a place deep in the mountains, where he practiced sword every day, or found wolves, bears, blind tigers and other ferocious beasts as opponents.

One day, he met a person from the Nether Way in the mountains.

It turned out that You Ming Dao was training the next generation of killers in this inaccessible deep mountain and old forest.

Gu Changling hid in the dark and observed for a few days, and found that although they had strict rules, only 18 of the four or five hundred children were allowed to survive, they taught them really useful things.

Such as literacy, such as camouflage, such as martial arts, such as killing.

So, after an inconspicuous dumb boy similar in stature to his own was bitten to death by a poisonous snake, Gu Changling stripped off his clothes and took his place without hesitation.

Only then did Wei Sangen come into being.

Gu Changling spread out his hands, which were stained with blood, full of sins.

He sighed: "Xiao Jiu, Wei Sangeng is like a mouse in the gutter, how can I stand by your side. I don't want you to see me like this, so I hide Wei Sangeng and try to live like another Looks like it."

"What's up with the rats in the gutter! I just like it!"

Jiuli hugged him and cried, "Brother, I don't want anyone else, I want you! Take me back to your rat den!"

Hearing this, Gu Changling couldn't help laughing.

He embraced Jiuli, sighed, and said, "Blame me, I'm too self-righteous. If I had known... Even if it was a robbery back then, I would have snatched you back to my rat nest. I wasted all these years and made you sad." .”

When Jiuli heard this, he immediately sat up straight.

"How dare you—"

Looking into Big Brother's eyes, Jiuli's accusation couldn't be uttered.

But there was still a fire in his heart, and he couldn't spit it out.

Jiuli covered Gu Changling's eyes and scolded, "How dare you say that!"

"All these years, you just looked at me anxiously and didn't tell me anything! Do you know how scared I am, how afraid that when I come back, my eldest brother is gone. I'm so afraid that I will never find my eldest brother again. Gu Changling, you bastard! How dare you hide my elder brother from me! I can't wait, I can't wait!"

He wished so much, but he couldn't bear to say it.

"Xiao Jiu, it's my fault—"

Gu Changling was happy and blamed himself at the same time, and wanted to pull his hand to apologize to him, but Jiuli stopped him.

"Don't move! Don't talk!"

Jiuli covered his eyes with force, gritted his teeth and said, "My eldest brother is a murderous big devil! What is Gu Changling? Is the number one hero in the Jianghu amazing? Is the disciple of the Lingyun Sword Sect amazing? Rare! What I like is the best person in the world, and the number one hero in the Jianghu is not worthy to lift his shoes!"

Gu Changling: "..."

Gu Changling didn't know whether to be happy or cry.

Jiuli said bitterly: "Gu Changling, how could you lie to me for so many years! How could you!"

"Is it fun to see me in a hurry, to see me trying everything possible to come back to find my elder brother, to see that I have to rely on you in order to come back, to please you, are you proud? Gu Changling, it's been 16 years, a full 16 years... What have you done in these 16 years? Pay me, ten thousand times is not enough for you to die!"

Gu Changling pulled his hand down, seeing his eyes reddened with anger, gasping for breath and crying or not, he was burning with anxiety.

"Xiao Jiu, it's Big Brother's mistake—"

"My brother is right!"

Jiuli glared at him fiercely.

Gu Changling quickly changed his words: "Okay, I'm right—"

"How dare you say you're right! Gu Changling, you despicable, shameless villain full of lies! I, I..."

Jiuli was so angry that he couldn't choose what to say, but he regretted it after scolding.

His eyes turned red anxiously, he patted Gu Changling's shoulder, and shouted, "It's the mask, cover your face!"

Gu Changling: "..."

"Xiao Jiu, can you not cover it?"

Gu Changling looked at him pitifully.

Jiuli had a sore nose, pursed her mouth, and said with a choked voice, "No, cover it quickly, I can't cry in front of this face."

Gu Changling: "..."

Without saying anything, Gu Changling took out a silver mask from the storage ring worn around his neck and put it on his face.

He raised his head and looked at Jiuli.

Facing the familiar eyes behind the mask, Jiu Li burst into tears.

"Brother...that bastard Gu Changling, beat him up for me, woo..."

Jiuli hugged Gu Changling's neck, crying and cursing: "I want to eat ten thousand poppies for him, and I want to hang the picture stone of him turning into a woman on the Yunxi plank road for everyone to see, woo... "

"Okay, big brother hit him, Xiao Jiu don't cry, big brother listens to you."

Gu Changling hugged him into his arms and coaxed him softly.

Jiuli cried for a while, then remembered another thing.

He took Gu Changling's hand, touched each of his fingers, and sobbed, "The cocoons are gone."

He touched Gu Changling's bones again, feeling even more disappointed: "I remember that big brother is not like this, big brother's bones don't grow like this..."

After several times of tempering the body, washing the tendons and cutting the marrow, Gu Changling's skin and even his bones and blood have changed.

It is no longer the appearance of "Wei Sangen" in Jiuli's memory.

Jiuli leaned close to his neck, sniffed again and again, "It's the smell of big brother. But... Gu Changling, he doesn't smell like this, I remember his breath is not like this."

Gu Changling's eyes softened.

He took out the little black sword, and saw the brilliance on the sword——

In Jiuli's sense of smell, the man changed to another familiar smell.

... Gu Changling's breath.

Very good, the eldest brother really knows him so well, even the taste is disguised to be impeccable.

Jiuli gritted his teeth, and looked into Gu Changling's eyes again.

He pulled the mask off and put it down again, and looked at it several times, his eyes were wet again.

Jiuli was full of excuses for his elder brother, and said: "The eyes are clearly the same, and I haven't recognized my elder brother for so many years... Gu Changling is right, I am so stupid, so stupid."

"I'm talking nonsense, Xiao Jiu is not stupid at all."

Afraid that his words would not be convincing, Gu Changling's eyes under the mask changed.

The cold star disappeared, and turned into Gu Changling's eyes of Jiyue's clear, bright, and slightly smiling eyes.

Jiuli: "..."

Jiu Li squeezed his fingers, and wanted to hit him with the Explosive Pill Formation again.

Fortunately, before he made a move, Gu Changling's eyes changed back to "Wei Sangen".

Gu Changling just watched him change from an aggressive tiger to a vicious kitten, feeling both fond and helpless in his heart.

He patted Jiuli's head, "It's not Xiaojiu's fault. It's the elder brother—it's Gu Changling who is too stupid. He's too stupid, self-righteous, wishful thinking, making mistakes again and again, stupid—"

"It's not brother's fault."

Jiuli pursed his lips, squeezed his hand tightly, and interrupted Gu Changling's self-blame.

Sniffing, he whispered: "But, but why didn't the elder brother tell me. If the elder brother didn't tell me, you liked me too, and if the elder brother didn't tell me, you were still Gu Changling. Why, I, I don't understand... ..."

He couldn't bear to be angry with his eldest brother, but he was really sad.

"Because I don't want to just be your big brother."

Gu Changling took off the mask, lowered his head against Jiuli's forehead, and said softly, "Xiao Jiu, I don't want to be your brother, I want to be your man. Do you understand?"

Day after day of practice, day after day of thinking, that little child has become an obsession in his heart.

He wants to hold the only temperature in this world, chase desperately, and want to stand by his side.

But at some point, the child who was only thinking about repaying the savior became greedy.

Perhaps, when he broke through the stone door, he saw the child shivering in the corner, seeing him trembling because of the sunlight, seeing him smiling slightly because of his arrival, seeing him quiet and ignorant, like a newly born child. child……

At that time, the meaning of his holding the sword changed.

He wants to protect him.

Guard him like a brother, like a man.

I would rather take it for myself.

The author has something to say: How cute is she?

As for the reason why neither of them said anything, the babies can also think of it, right? [It's just that the cub at home is too cowardly, it's my fault...haha. 】
