Ning Chen

Ning, calm down. "

Xie Zhanning said bitterly: "My mother told me not to hate them until she was about to die, but they, knowing whose son I am, still treat me like that. Master, tell me, how can I not hate them, not resent them? Are they?"

Seeing that Xie Zhanning's eyes were full of tears, Gu Lichen patted Xie Zhanning's back lightly, and gently wiped away the tears for him, "Zhanning, it's over, everything is over, with Master here, no one can do it in the future." Bully you, no one dares to bully you."

The more gentle Gu Lichen was, the more wronged Xie Zhanning became, and now he couldn't help it no matter what, he fell on Gu Lichen's chest and burst into tears. Only in front of Gu Lichen could Xie Zhanning cry so unscrupulously and unabashedly , "Master..."

Gu Lichen still patted gently, and said softly: "Be good, be good, master is here, master is here."

Xie Zhanning twitched all over and said, "Master, you will never leave me, will you? You will never leave me like your parents did, will you?"

Gu Lichen's eyes were extremely firm, and his tone was extremely gentle, "No, never!"

32. Bamboo Tower Night Talk

"Has Master ever liked anyone?"

After Xie Zhanning and Gu Lichen took 'Killing Soul' and 'Strike the Wind', Gu Lichen suggested that since they came to Miaojiang, why not go to the town they had been to before.

Gu Lichen looked at the small town in front of him, feeling boundless in his heart, "This place is still the same as before, nothing has changed."

Xie Zhanning raised his eyebrows and asked, "Master, do you really remember what this place is like?"

Gu Lichen coughed lightly, and said: "Of course I remember, how could I forget the beauty of the bubbling water and the corner tower, and I still remember that someone ate all my money from the street to the end of the street." Where's the bag?"

Xie Zhanning scratched his head and smiled naively, "Master, you remember such trivial things clearly."

Gu Lichen took out his purse, shook it, and said with a smile, "So, I have brought enough money for the teacher today, and you can eat as much as you want."

Xie Zhanning tentatively said: "Really?."

Gu Lichen nodded and said, "Really."

Xie Zhanning smiled brightly, took the purse, and said loudly, "Thank you, Master."

Just like before, Xie Zhanning tasted all the snacks in the streets and alleys, and in his spare time, he still didn't forget to feed Gu Lichen.

Xie Zhanning held a bunch of food bags, large and small, "Master, try this and this."

Xie Zhanning was about to feed it into Gu Lichen's mouth, but Gu Lichen nodded helplessly, "Okay, okay."

Before Gu Lichen finished eating one, Xie Zhanning handed the other to his mouth, "Master, try this one more, and this one."

Gu Lichen took a deep breath, his cheeks were puffed up, "Mmm, um."

Xie Zhanning happily handed over a bunch of his favorite candied haws, "Master, there is still this."

But Gu Lichen really couldn't eat anymore, he shook his head violently, "..." Seeing Xie Zhanning pouted with his face drawn, looking like he was still not satisfied, he quickly grabbed Xie Zhanning, frowned and said, "Zhanning, I I really can't eat anymore, let's, let's go back." As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Lichen burped the boss.

Xie Zhanning was taken aback for a moment, and then burst into laughter, "Pfft, yes, master."

On the way back from the small town, Xie Zhanning kept laughing at Gu Lichen's hiccup. He had never seen Gu Lichen's appearance of losing his composure, and he couldn't stop laughing for a moment. In the familiar village, at this time, it was just getting dark, and the two of them walked back for a walk, but they happened to encounter a mountain ghost attacking people.

"Help! Help!"

Xie Zhanning heard a cry for help from a long distance away, "Master, it seems that someone is calling for help?"

Gu Lichen saw the attacking mountain charm at a glance, "It is the mountain charm that is attacking the village."

I saw Gu Lichen flying down in front of the attacked person, swiftly building a barrier to protect everyone, "Don't panic, everyone, we are practitioners of Taoism, we will protect you all."

The people who were attacked seemed to have grasped at straws, begging again and again: "Master Daoist, please save us."

As soon as those people approached the two of them, Xie Zhanning trembled violently, "..."

Gu Lichen said, "Zhanning, you protect them here, and I'll deal with that mountain charm."

After not hearing Xie Zhanning's reply for a long time, Gu Lichen said again: "Zhanning, did you hear that?"

Xie Zhanning gritted his teeth, and said: "...they are the ones who lead the way, and they are the ones who want to set fire to me."

Gu Lichen turned his head to the side and realized that Xie Zhanning was trembling all over, clenched his fists with both hands, and even gritted his teeth, "Zhanning."

Seeing that the two of them stopped moving, everyone begged again and again: "Master Taoist, please save us, save us."

Gu Lichen's expression froze, and he said loudly: "Zhan Ning, human life is at stake, and other things will be discussed after saving people."

Xie Zhanning knew that with Gu Lichen's compassionate personality, he had to save them, so he nodded for a while and said, "Yes."

Gu Lichen glanced at Xie Zhanning with a sigh, and flew up to Shan Mei again, and made a fairy sword surrounded by silver light in his hand, "Qianlin, destroy!" Qian Lin' galloped past, piercing Shan Mei's chest with a single sword, "Ah!" Hearing a pitiful scream from Po Kong, that Shan Mei turned into catastrophe ashes under Qian Lin's sword in no time.

As soon as Shan Mei died, Gu Lichen put away the barrier. At this time, everyone knelt in front of Gu Lichen, "Thank you, Daoist, thank you, Daoist!"

Gu Lichen hurriedly said: "Everyone please get up, please get up quickly."

Xie Zhanning looked at these people coldly, with resentment and forbearance on his face, "..."

Among the crowd, suddenly a mother and son whispered in a low voice.

"Mom, I seem to know the person next to the Taoist priest."

"Nonsense, you have never been out of the village, how could you know people who practice Taoism?"

"Mom, I really know him."

Gu Lichen didn't want to be surrounded by everyone to thank him anymore, so he hurriedly called Xie Zhanning and was about to leave, "Everyone, there is no need to send each other off, please go back."

And Xie Zhanning didn't want to stay for a long time, turned around and left without saying a word, "..."

The two had just walked a short distance when a thin figure chased after Xie Zhanning. The person who spoke was a little boy, "Brother."

Xie Zhanning was stunned for a while, then turned around and asked doubtfully, "Are you calling me?"

The little boy nodded and said, "Brother, don't you remember me?"

Xie Zhanning asked doubtfully, "You are?"

The little boy said again: "A year ago, on the mountain in front, I was injured by a trap, and you saved me."

Speaking of this, how could Xie Zhanning not remember, it was because of this incident that he was almost burned to death, "..."

Not only Xie Zhanning, but even Gu Lichen remembered it. Gu Lichen looked at Xie Zhanning and whispered, "Zhanning."

After a while, Xie Zhanning said in a hoarse voice, "So it was you."

The little boy lowered his head, "Brother, I'm sorry."

sorry?Xie Zhanning didn't know how to respond to this sorry, and didn't make any expression, "..."

The little boy said again: "That time, everyone wanted to burn you to death. I couldn't stop them. I'm sorry."

Seeing that Xie Zhanning seemed to have lost his soul, Gu Lichen called out, "Zhanning?"

Xie Zhanning came back to his senses, looked at the little boy, and said, "It's not your fault..."

The little boy bowed deeply, lowered his head, and said loudly, "I'm sorry!"

Seeing that he must have changed from that day, Xie Zhanning asked, "Aren't you afraid of me?"

The little boy said: "I was really scared at the time, but if you hadn't saved me, brother, I might have died on that mountain long ago, and today, you also saved all of us."

Xie Zhanning continued: "I am a monster, are you not afraid?"

The little boy was taken aback for a moment, recalling Xie Zhanning's monster appearance that day, and then stuttered: "...you, you are a good monster..."

Gu Lichen couldn't help laughing out loud, "Pfft..."

Xie Zhanning was stunned, not knowing how to react, "..."

Gu Lichen coughed lightly, and said, "Okay, kid, it's getting late now, let's go back."

Xie Zhanning echoed, "Go back."

The little boy nodded, and said again: "Brother, will you come to our place again?"

Xie Zhanning was stunned for a long time without replying, "..."

Instead, Gu Lichen replied: "Yes, brother will come, go back quickly."

The little boy burst into laughter when he heard this, and said loudly: "Well, goodbye, brother."

The two watched the little boy leave safely before heading back. Gu Lichen spoke first, "Zhanning, do you still love them?"

After a pause, Xie Zhanning shook his head, "I don't know."

Gu Lichen patted Xie Zhanning's shoulder lightly, and said, "Alright, let's go back quickly."

Xie Zhanning said, "Master, maybe..."

Gu Lichen asked, "Maybe what?"

Xie Zhanning said softly, "Perhaps, I don't have to hate all of them."

Gu Lichen smiled faintly, "Yes, you don't have to hate all of them."

The two walked back to the bamboo building in the middle of the night, Xie Zhanning made up the bed and said, "Master, go to bed early."

"En." After finishing speaking, Gu Lichen lay down on the bed, seeing that Xie Zhanning hadn't gone to bed for a long time, he said, "Zhanning, aren't you going to sleep?"

Xie Zhanning was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "Master, you sleep on the bed, I will just sleep on the floor."

Gu Lichen frowned and said: "It's cold in the mountains, how can you sleep on the ground, come here, it's not like you never slept with me when you were young."

Xie Zhanning is still
