Take a Sigh

As the only person who has no secrets with Ling Shuangxue, Shi Yuanye knows everything about Ling Shuangxue.On the second day after Shen Zhuo's house was seized, he got the news from Ling Shuangxue. Not long after, Ling Shuangxue fell seriously ill because of this matter, and he was also very angry.

But compared to Ling Shuangxue's worry about Shen Zhuo, he is purely angry at the recurrence of Ling Shuangxue's old disease.

Ling Shuangxue didn't care about his own life. In his view, death was a common thing. He didn't feel when or how he died.

Shi Yuanye had no doubts, if Shen Zhuo wasn't there, maybe he would have passed away forever when he remembered that day, never to return.

Even though his heart was a little sour, Shi Yuanye had to admit that Shen Zhuo had a different meaning to Ling Shuangxue.Especially after Ling Shuangxue was determined to only have one apprentice, this meaning was even more extraordinary.

"You are the thread that connects your master and the world. In his eyes, the important thing is not the fire, but you. When your master comes back, you two have a good chat."

Ling Shuangxue was not at home, and Shi Yuanye did not sit for too long.He recalled his own cat, looked at Jiaojiao twice more, and said: "You don't have to worry too much about your master, he is more familiar with this sect than you."

Ling Shuangxue is not a person who cares about every detail, she probably wakes up as soon as she goes out to blow some air.

Shi Yuanye knew him well, seeing that he hadn't come back at this time, he guessed that there was probably something else going on, so he took advantage of the situation and left to avoid the embarrassment of seeing Shen Zhuo when he came back.

But Yuan Ye didn't intend to tell Shen Zhuo about this, and let Shen Zhuo guess by himself.

When sending Yuan Ye away, Shen Zhuo retreated into the yard, Jiaojiao ran to his feet and rubbed his feet, pawing at the hem of his clothes and screaming childishly.

Shen Zhuo picked it up and put it on his shoulders, his mood gradually calmed down, he stopped worrying about conflicts with Ling Shuangxue, he cleaned up the teacups on the table, and trained alone.

At the top of the moon, everything was silent, Shen Zhuo was meditating in the yard, Jiaojiao was by his side.

Today is the last quarter moon, only a small spot the size of a sickle can be seen in the sky, and the moonlight is unclear.Shen Zhuo woke up from meditation and raised his hand to light the spiritual lamp in the yard.

The hazy and cold light diffused out, illuminating the entire small courtyard.Shen Zhuo looked at the lamp and suddenly laughed.

It seems that he has never been alone in the back mountain, and Ling Shuangxue is always at home every time he comes back.Regardless of spring, autumn, winter or summer, he is always here waiting for Shen Zhuo to come back.

He sat alone by the window, except for the slanted flower bud, a few books, and a cup of tea, there was nothing else, deserted and lonely.

He is used to such days, stagnant water generally does not make waves.Even he is like a drop of water blending into it, giving people a kind of featureless boring.

It was only after Shen Zhuo came that Houshan became alive. He was young and frivolous, and he wished to stir up a bloody storm in Houshan.He is the fish that breaks the stillness of stagnant water, tosses out the waves, makes this pool of water come alive, and even Ling Shuangxue becomes alive.

Shen Zhuo never thought about what the back mountain was like before he appeared.

The reason why Ling Shuangxue moved here was to recuperate from his illness and he liked quietness, but was this kind of quietness really what he wanted?Not far away is the hustle and bustle of the world of mortals, but he guards the loneliness and loneliness alone, as if there is an invisible barrier that puts him in the shadow of the light, neglected and forgotten.

Apart from the Sovereign, where else has anyone set foot in the entire territory of the back mountain?

His master was also the No.1 of the Taoist sect of wielding a sword. He has seen the bright sun, but hid in the darkness.

Realizing how delicate Ling Shuangxue's situation is, Shen Zhuo's heart ached a little.He couldn't help wondering if Ling Shuangxue was sitting at home waiting for him in the same mood as he was at the moment when he was ignorant and desperately chasing after Yunfeng and refused to come back.

Anxiety, hesitation, restlessness, and deep loneliness.

Loneliness can drive you crazy when you're worried about someone.

Shen Zhuo was depressed in his heart, he took a deep breath to relieve the discomfort, raised his hand and lit another magic lamp to illuminate the yard even brighter.Seeing the spiritual lamp like daylight, there was a smile on Shen Zhuo's face.

He is willing to be the one who lights the lamp for Ling Shuangxue in the dark night, waiting for him to return in the loneliness of this room.

The night was getting deeper, the moonlight disappeared without knowing when, and the mist in the air was heavier, as if a rain was about to come.Shen Zhuo drove Jiaojiao into the house, and stood by himself in the corridor.

He didn't know when Ling Shuangxue would come back, or he might not be able to wait for him all night.But Shen Zhuo didn't care, the important thing was waiting, not the result.

In the water mist, the space was different. As soon as Ling Shuangxue came out of the darkness, a hazy light fell on him.He flicked off the petals on his body, and when he looked up, he saw Shen Zhuo standing in the shadow of the corridor, looking over with burning eyes.

Ling Shuangxue calmed down after finishing the work, "What are you doing here?"

Shen Zhuo said: "I'm waiting for Master to come back."

The night will not fade Ling Shuangxue's demeanor, the halo seems to be born for him.Shen Zhuo watched him walking step by step, from the land of light to the shadows, with a calm expression.Today's white clothes lined him up, making him look like a fairy.

"What are you waiting for me to do?" Ling Shuangxue muttered in confusion, and just as she finished speaking, she remembered the quarrel.He froze for a moment, and understood that Shen Zhuo wanted to apologize to him.

The apprentice wanted to apologize to himself, Ling Shuangxue's mood suddenly brightened, and a little sullen expression appeared on his face in cooperation, and said: "What? Want to understand where I went wrong?"

Shen Zhuo's eyes were always on Ling Shuangxue's body, and he could easily see the change in his expression.Thinking of Suzerain Bai Ri's enlightenment, the originally planned apology changed its tone.

Ling Shuangxue was not angry anymore, he was even a little happy.

This recognition made Shen Zhuo feel better, and said sincerely: "I should have told Master earlier, I really like the gift that Master prepared for me. I was ignorant and made my temper, but Master would still be willing." Dote on me, let me in, accommodate me, as long as I think about it, I will be happy. In comparison, I can do so little for Master, so little to almost nothing."

Seriously counting what Shen Zhuo has done for Ling Shuangxue, the Huoyan Ye that he sent out today, he said that there are almost none is not being modest at all, but that he really has never done it.

On the other hand, Ling Shuangxue, he would give Shen Zhuo whatever he wanted, even the clothes and hair accessories on Shen Zhuo's body were all handled by him, and he didn't let Shen Zhuo give out half of the spirit stone.

Ling Shuangxueyuan thought that Shen Zhuo was sincerely apologizing, and he had already forgiven him in his heart, so he just wanted to listen.But what did he hear?

Shen Zhuo not only realized his mistake, but also confessed to him.

Ling Shuangxue's ears were slightly hot, and her face still looked like Gujing Wubo. She hummed and said, "I'm also the deputy suzerain. You are going to participate in the sect competition soon. If you don't have the beast fire to suppress the formation, don't I feel very helpless?" face?"

The implication is that I am for myself and have nothing to do with you.

How could Shen Zhuo not know that he was duplicity?In terms of face, have the counterfeit goods been lost in recent years?But Ling Shuangxue didn't even frown, she didn't seem to care about her own face.

Moreover, Beast Fire is not a rotten street thing, not every alchemist must have it.

Shen Zhuo didn't expose it, and followed Ling Shuangxue's intention: "Master has high hopes for me, I will definitely fulfill my mission, why don't I take back the first prize and let Master play|play?"

Although the Zongmen Grand Competition is a disguised form of personal grievances, it also provides generous rewards to encourage disciples to participate.

Shen Zhuo had asked, and there was a piece of Tianyang Jade in the reward this time.It is said that it is dug out from the earth's flames, and has a strong fire attribute. Wearing it on the body by the alchemist is beneficial to practice and increases the rate of alchemy.

Shen Zhuo's heart was a little moved when he first heard it, and it is even more so now.But he was doing it for himself before, and now it's for Ling Shuangxue.

Ling Shuangxue was not interested in the rewards given by the sect, but if the apprentice wanted to give it to him, he could still accept it reluctantly.

"If you want to take the first place, your cultivation level is not enough."

Ling Shuangxue laughed, and flicked her sleeves, the beast fire that had been taken away appeared before Shen Zhuo's eyes.

Ling Shuangxue said: "The beast fire contains the spiritual power of monsters. After you absorb it, your cultivation will also increase. I don't think there is any need to pick any auspicious days. You can devour it now, and I will protect you."

The mad lion of hell has a violent temperament and is a troublesome existence among the fire attribute monsters. Even if the beast fire taken from it has been purified by Ling Shuangxue, Shen Zhuo can still feel the oncoming fierceness.

With his current cultivation base, it is still difficult to swallow the seventh-level beast fire, but Ling Shuangxue is by his side, he is a reassurance pill to appease Shen Zhuo's anxiety.

Shen Zhuo didn't hesitate, and immediately sat down cross-legged.There are only a few kinds of exercises for devouring beast fire, and there is nothing fancy about it over and over again.But this time Shen Zhuo saved his hand, he didn't choose the cultivation method of this world, but used the method of swallowing the strange fire back then.

The strange fire is so ferocious that it needs the assistance of medicine pills to devour it.The beast fire is weaker and can be suppressed by itself.

In order not to waste the spiritual power of the beast fire, Shen Zhuo swallowed it whole, and the spiritual power in the dantian circulated, forming a powerful vortex, sucking in the beast fire that began to erupt when it entered the body.The two forces are fighting each other to the death, and they will not give in to each other.

At the beginning, Shen Zhuo could feel the intense pain, and the cold sweat on his forehead was like rain. He stuck to his heart and didn't rush forward, but kept consuming the power of the beast fire, and waited for it to become weaker and weaker, then rushed forward with the accumulated power .

Beast Huo struggled to the death, fought back at the critical moment, Shen Zhuo took precautions and suppressed all his strength.His meridians were repaired by the golden spiritual power in Ling Shuangxue's body, and he looked stronger than before.No matter how the beast fire collides and attacks, the meridians can withstand the pressure.

Shen Zhuo took advantage of the victory and pursued until the beast fire was exhausted and dimmed. He used his kung fu to devour it again, and a stream of pure power flowed into his dantian. His cultivation started to rise without any surprise, and a red mark appeared on his face Between eyebrows.

Ling Shuangxue, who was guarding her apprentice, paused, and saw Shen Zhuo disappear before her eyes as expected.

Ling Shuangxue was silent for a moment, feeling that she had to create some alibi.
