[Xiu Xian] Master, let's talk about life

020

As if passing through a long tunnel, Chen Xiuping opened his eyes the moment the light spread from the front.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he rolled over and buried his head in the pillow, moaning in despair.

—Fuck, fell asleep again.

He twisted his body and kicked the quilt aside, then raised his head and asked, "Xiao Song, how long have I slept this time?"

The brown little squirrel, which was only half the size of a palm, has turned into a palm-sized meat ball. It was holding a pine cone and happily biting it. The pinecone that was caught accidentally fell off and fell into Chen Xiuping's hand. Chen Xiuping picked it up and threw it back.

Xiaosong hurriedly caught it, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "It's been three months and seven days."

Chen Xiuping thumped out of bed in distress, and then he asked again: "Then Master has been here?"

Xiaosong blinked his round eyes, then turned his gaze to the stone table beside him: "I've been here before, and I left those pills behind."

Chen Xiuping said "Oh", and then he asked again: "The quilt was covered by Master for me?"

Xiaosong jumped onto Chen Xiuping's shoulder, and his shrill voice was full of joy for praise: "No, I did it~"

Chen Xiuping let out an "oh" in disappointment, Xiaosong didn't get the praise it imagined, and stared at Chen Xiuping in dissatisfaction.

Chen Xiuping didn't realize it, but now he started to mock his self-indulgent sentimentality in his heart again, because in the past seven years, he has asked this question more than once, and received more than one disappointing answer .

It has been seven years since he went to Lingjian Peak after entering the inner sect.

Whether these seven years are long or not, whether they are short or not.

It's long, and it's really long, because it's been seven years without moisture, enough to make a person trapped in the mountains so boring that he can change his outlook, but it's short, and it's really short, for a cultivator. In other words, it is normal for ten days and a half months to enter into samadhi, plus he needs to practice the sword and recite the formulas, think about and observe the master's preferences from time to time, chat with Yinglong in the Qingfengjian about the mindless days, and give orders. Xiaosong went to find something delicious - under the circumstances, it seemed to be so full that he could not notice the passage of time.

But for him, things are a little different, that is because his samadhi has been more and more inclined to deep sleep recently. God knows how much effort he has put in to suppress the Sandman, but it was only a few hours at the beginning. It was just a few days, and in a few months, he could no longer deceive himself or the master, so he had to go to the master to plead guilty.

At that time, Cheng Yin was still there, and said in a mysterious way: "You don't need to worry, this is normal."

Chen Xiuping also interpreted all this as the reason for the exercises given by the master, and carried out this overly comfortable practice with entanglement and guilt.

Thinking about it now, everything in the past seven years is a clear lake in a honey-colored sunshine, plain but full of warmth, Chen Xiuping almost forgot that he is still living in the world, because such days really belong to his imagination Immortal.

But these days are coming to an end soon, he sat up and ate the elixir on the table, and before he had time to exercise his energy to digest the power of the medicine, he heard the voice of his own master: "Xiuping, since you are awake, come to me Come."

After more than three months, Chen Xiuping saw Cheng Yin again.

To Cheng Yin, seven years is estimated to be just a snap of the fingers, so the Cheng Yin that Chen Xiuping saw was still the same as when he first met, but compared to the simple surprise of his appearance when he first met, now Compared with that glorious appearance, Chen Xiuping realized that this person was Cheng Yin and his master.

Holding a small golden alchemy stove in his hand, Cheng Yin walked out slowly from the smoky restriction. When he saw Chen Xiuping, his cold face loosened for a moment. He glanced up and down, sighing secretly how his little apprentice Haven't grown up yet.

Seven years ago, the slightly childish face of a 17-year-old still had at least pain and anger. Seven years later, even the pain and anger were gone, leaving only childishness and innocence.

Cheng Yin couldn't help but began to suspect that his method of raising apprentices was a bit wrong, so he took another deep look at Chen Xiuping.

Chen Xiuping had a bright smile on his face, his eyes were shining like a large pet dog, and he said as if asking for credit: "Master, Master, I have already reached the late stage of foundation establishment!"

Cheng Yin nodded and said, "It's not bad."

Chen Xiuping said distressed again: "But it's hard to go any further, it seems to have reached a bottleneck recently."

Cheng Yin thought for a while: "Building the foundation until the heart is moved, it should be done in one go, you don't have to worry too much, as long as you have reached the cultivation level."

Chen Xiuping: "..." It's so hard to communicate with geniuses!

Cheng Yin didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said, it had always been like this for him, but he still suggested: "However, I was wandering abroad and experienced many battles, maybe you have lived too comfortably since you practiced , you can go down the mountain and try to pick up some missions."

Chen Xiuping was stunned for a moment: "Going down the mountain?" For the first time in so many years, he thought about going down the mountain. Since he started looking for the things he needed in the mountains, except for the first two years of going down the mountain intermittently, the next five years, he has been going down the mountain. Locking myself in the mountains, when I heard Cheng Yin mentioning it, I couldn't help but feel complicated emotions in my heart.

Cheng Yin nodded leisurely, and said: "Preparing for retreat for the teacher, if you stay in the mountain, you can only get stuck in the bottleneck, why not go down the mountain to find your own opportunity."

Chen Xiuping was a little flustered and a little excited, but in the end all these emotions turned into a thought - didn't the master mean to stay away from him?

Thinking of this, he felt a void in his heart, this time the void was worse than when Meng Xiaobao and Su Jiuniang left, he was speechless for a while.

But Cheng Yin continued: "The fate is destined, but if you don't go out and venture out, you can only miss it."

Chen Xiuping finally couldn't help but said: "I, my talent is limited, I still hope to stay on the mountain to accompany Master."

Cheng Yin frowned.

Chen Xiuping quickly said: "However, I can't fall into Master's reputation. I know, and I will definitely work hard."

Cheng Yin nodded in satisfaction: "I think everything you need has been given to you. You can rest assured that if there is a matter of life and death, the teacher will never leave you alone."

Chen Xiuping forced a smile and said, "Thank you, Master."

After saying some more fragmentary words, Cheng Yin turned around and went back to the cave, and Chen Xiuping's face collapsed in the next second. With a grief-stricken expression on his face, he went to prepare the things he would bring down the mountain.

"This is the reason why you are so lost..." Yuan Shougui had a smile like a spring flower. Although seven years had passed, he didn't seem to have changed a bit. His red lips and teeth were as charming as a girl's.

Chen Xiuping ignored this beauty, and said in a low voice: "Yuan Er, I know that Master is the flower of Gaoling, so it's better to give up, isn't it?"

Yuan Shougui frowned: "A cultivator..."

After saying something like this inexplicably, Yuan Shougui didn't continue.

Chen Xiuping looked at Yuan Shougui suspiciously: "Er Huo, you are a little strange today."

Yuan Shougui smiled: "Really?"

Chen Xiuping slowed down his pace: "Erhuo, why are you waiting for me at the foot of the mountain today?"

The reason why Chen Xiuping walked with Yuan Shougui after going down the mountain was because he met Yuan Shougui again when he got off the mountain. The last time he saw Yuan Shougui was five years ago, but even though five years passed However, the original obedience did not change in his mind, so when he met, Chen Xiuping couldn't help but rush to talk about his troubles, until now, he felt something was wrong.

Today's Yuan Shouru seems to be exceptionally normal, he didn't do anything wrong, and he didn't say anything surprising, because it was too normal, but it seemed very abnormal.

Yuan Shougui smiled and said: "We haven't seen each other for so many years, I have always wanted to see you, today is just luck."

Chen Xiuping stopped in his tracks: "This is not right, you are not the type to say such things."

Yuan Shougui's expression remained unchanged: "It's been five years, even though you are a cultivator, there will be some changes, isn't it surprising?"

Chen Xiuping only felt a cold sweat seep from his back. It was really weird that a familiar person suddenly changed so differently. Chen Xiuping managed to ease his expression, and asked again: "Are you still looking for him after you go down the mountain?" ?”

Yuan Shougui turned around: "Of course I still have to go to Brother Meng, don't think too much about it, just follow me to get the task."

After all, it was only his own doubts. Chen Xiuping thought for a while, and felt that five years is a long time for ordinary people to change, so he hesitated for a while, and prepared to keep up.

At this time, he heard a cold male voice: "As far as I know, Yuan Shougui has been missing for five years, right?"
