The old Gong who died for the world is back

"Master, why are you here?"

The young Qingyue's voice came from not far away, Xiao Youci, who was in a daze, turned his head when he heard the voice, and was immediately stunned.

Like.

so similar.

He has long heard people say that the longer Yan Tong grows, the more he looks like Jiang Zhiyan back then. Two years ago, Yan Tong was still young when he left Linxianmen, so he couldn't see much, but he has matured after going down the mountain for more than two years few.

It looks more like it.

He was wearing an ordinary cloth that he bought from the mountain. The cloth hung softly on his side, and he looked very easy to touch. The figure of a young man always grows very fast. He was so small before going down the mountain. Now he has reached the age of Xiao Youci. The eyebrows are changed, and in a few years, Xiao Youci will have to look up when he looks at him.

Probably for the convenience of traveling, he was wearing narrow sleeves, his thin waist was held by a dark belt, and his legs seemed to be longer than others.

Xiao Youci glanced at his waist, quickly looked away, and said calmly: "You told me a month ago that you are coming back today."

He also asked Feng Langyue to tell Yan Tong that he would leave the customs when he came back.

Unexpectedly, it was almost midnight before he returned to Tianxuan Peak.

Xiao Youci raised his head again, staring lightly into Yan Tong's eyes: "What is so important down the mountain that made you miss the hour?"

Yan Tong looked at Xiao Youci and was also taken aback for a moment.

His master's eyes were very indifferent, so indifferent that he felt that as long as he really said something about the delay, his master would go down the mountain with a sword in hand, and completely wipe out that "thing", so that he would not be late again. , Let the old man stand by the side of the road and wait.

But it was this kind of attitude that was not kind, but Yan Tong couldn't help but look at it again and again.

Under Xiao Youci's gaze, he always felt that he was Xiao Youci's personal property, and Xiao Youci had absolute command power over him, and he could cut off the communication of people around him wantonly.

This was not a good thing, but it made him almost unable to control the burning in his eyes.

Xiao Youci is a very sensitive person, he frowned quickly and looked carefully into Yan Tong's eyes.

Yan Tong immediately lowered his head guiltily, and said in a low voice: "When I went up the mountain, I was tripped by my fellow disciples, and I was delayed for some time. Master, it was my apprentice who made a mistake, and I will never do it again."

"Are you close to forming alchemy?" Xiao Youci asked.

Yan Tong said: "Yes, the purpose of coming back this time is to form the alchemy smoothly."

15-year-old Jin Dan.

It was only two years later than Jiang Zhiyan.

He is not as subtle and considerate as his master. Yan Tong almost relied on the classics of exercises to grow into what he is now.

He is already very satisfied.

Moreover, the apprentice is also very sensible, there is never a need for him to say something a second time, and he has never failed to complete what he promised.

He said he would never do it again, that is, he would never do it again.

Clean and neat, no need for Xiao Youci to talk nonsense.

Xiao Youci is very kind.

Xiao Youci nodded, not caring about his being late, turned around and said, "Let's go, let's talk in detail in the room."

In the past two years, Yan Tong grew up very fast, but Xiao Youci was not so good - at first, he could barely suppress his inner demons, maintained a two-three-month retreat, and his cultivation base was stable for a year.

But since Yan Tong went down the mountain, his inner demons have become more and more serious, to the point where he is no longer under his control.

Fortunately, he had restrained his true strength all the year round, and his cultivation was not as good as his, so he couldn't see through his disguise, and would only treat him as an ordinary person.

But now that he has lost all his cultivation, in the eyes of others, it's just business as usual.

As long as he doesn't show his cowardice, they won't find out.

After Xiao Youci finished speaking, he was about to go to the small courtyard, but he stood by the roadside for too long, and his feet became numb.

This feeling was very strange to Xiao Youci, he shook his whole body, and his wrist was supported by Yan Tong.

Yan Tong worried: "Master, what's wrong with you?"

Xiao Youci only felt that the two were a little close, he slowed down a bit, frowned and pushed away Yan Tong's hand, took a step back to open the distance between the two, and said lightly: "It's okay, let's go."

He is always so indifferent, rejecting people thousands of miles away.

Xiao Youci walked forward on his own, but Yan Tong stood there without moving, he crushed his fingertips, it seemed that the warmth from touching Xiao Youci just now remained there.

Looking at such a cold person, the body is also warm.

Yan Tong quickly put away his messy thoughts, bowed his head and followed.

It was already late at night, but it had no effect on the two of them. They practiced and rarely slept.

After entering the room, Xiao Youci was leaning on his bed, too lazy to melt, while Yan Tong was sitting on a chair, the two were far apart.

The moonlight was very bright, shining in from the windows and doors, and the place where Yan Tong was sitting was in the shadows.

Xiao Youci lost his cultivation, and his eyesight was like that of a mortal. He squinted his eyes for a while and couldn't see Yan Tong's expression clearly, so he gave up. Anger, or trying to do something, is not very good.

He felt it was dangerous to let his emotions out.

Anyway, he couldn't see clearly, so Xiao Youci simply looked away, and asked lazily, "Tell me about your experience of going down the mountain."

Yan Tong paused for a moment, and then began to talk about the people and things he met at the foot of the mountain.

More than two years, neither long nor short, is enough to meet one or two like-minded friends, but not enough to engrave anyone into life.

In a hurry, coming and going, in the final analysis, he is just a passer-by in the world, he has tasted a little, but he can't taste any real taste.

Xiao Youci listened, and was a little distracted.

He thought of Jiang Zhiyan.

Jiang Zhiyan is the chief disciple of Linxian Sect. He has been trained as the future head of Linxian Sect since he was a child. It stands to reason that he shouldn't go down the mountain for ten years, but Jiang Zhiyan said that three to five years is too short to understand. What is it like in the world.

He was an orphan adopted by Jiang Helai. He grew up in Linxian Gate and knew nothing about the mortal world. This time he went down the mountain, he had to see everything in the world.

Jiang Helai trusted him very much, the other elders in the sect disagreed with Jiang Zhiyan's decision, only Jiang Helai supported him.

Jiang Zhiyan still left.

After he came back, Xiao Youci once lay in his arms and asked him about things down the mountain——Xiao Youci also grew up on the mountain, and his situation was similar to that of Jiang Zhiyan.

He asked Jiang Zhiyan what he was doing. He thought that Jiang Zhiyan's life at the foot of the mountain should be very rich.

Like the ups and downs in the storybook.

But Jiang Zhiyan said that he bought a small courtyard in the world and grew flowers and vegetables in it for ten years.

He said that the small courtyard is in a small village, and the village is very poor. Jinhu has been fighting for years, and everyone's life is very hard. Children read books.

The villagers were very enthusiastic about him, and they came to deliver meals to him every now and then, and the aunt from the neighbor's house even took a fancy to him and insisted on making him his son-in-law.

Jiang Zhiyan had lived in the village for ten years. The little girl who had been clamoring to marry him at the beginning got married, and the child she gave birth to was still studying in his school.

Later, the war burned the village. On the day the village was massacred, he went shopping in the town and returned to the village three days later. There was only a mess left in the village. He dug out the married little girl from the wreckage of the burned house.

She grabbed his arm and begged him to save her daughter Tian Tian, ​​who was taken away by the Huqiang people.

Jiang Zhiyan chased him for hundreds of miles, but only saw the body of a child gouged out to the bones in the Huqiang camp.

Xiao Youci asked him what happened next, Jiang Zhiyan smiled wryly, but did not answer his question.

After all, he is an outsider, and the tragic ending was only mentioned once to Xiao Youci. The rest of the time, he mostly talked about interesting stories in the village. The children in the village are very sensible, and they know poetry and literature at once; the girls in the village treat him well. He was stalking, and for a while he was too stalked to go out.

At that time, Xiao Youci was also short-sighted, caring about why other people's children were so smart, and didn't see the gradually dimming light in his senior brother's eyes.

Probably from then on, Jiang Zhiyan understood that no matter how deep they went down the mountain to practice, they were still outsiders.

Tiantian's mother was so heartbroken that she hanged herself within two months after being rescued by Jiang Zhiyan, and no matter how sad Jiang Zhiyan was for the people in this village, the story was not her own.

He didn't even have a heartbroken stance.

Just a passer-by who reads other people's stories, gets involved in other people's dramas, and is not happy, angry, sad or happy about other people's life and death.

It was a long time before Xiao Youci figured this out.

So he didn't go down the mountain afterwards, thinking it was unnecessary.

He also disagrees with Yan Tong going, but his apprentice is very stubborn, gentle, and stubborn.

He didn't persuade him, he could only ask him to come back before the Qingjun Conference.

He did it too, judging by his current appearance, at the foot of the mountain, he should not have encountered such sad things as his senior brother.

Xiao Youci didn't know that he had been in a daze for a long time, but when he came back to his senses, he found Yan Tong was looking at him.

The little apprentice was hidden in the dark place of light and shadow, obviously unable to see his expression clearly, but Xiao Youci felt that his eyes were a little hot, as if he was looking at him all the time, and his eyes were wrong.

He frowned and interrupted the silence in the room: "Where did you just say?"

Yan Tong moved a bit, as if he lowered his head, and continued to talk about things down the mountain slowly.

His story at the foot of the mountain is very exciting, beheading monsters, acting as a chivalrous man -- it's a good story with ups and downs.

Xiao Youci was bored listening to it, waved his hand, and interrupted Yan Tong's words: "Okay, don't tell me everything... I see that you are close to Jindan, and you came back half a year early, is it for the formation of the alchemy?"

The two stages of Jindan and Yuanying are quite special, and both require a long period of retreat and concentration.

After settling into samadhi, one doesn't know anything about the things around them. If disturbed, it may cause problems in forming alchemy. Generally, at this time, alchemists will find a safe place and let trusted elders in their sect protect themselves.

Yan Tong nodded lightly: "I originally wanted Master to help protect the Dharma."

originally?

Xiao Youci frowned slightly: "What did you mean?"
