Rebirth of Xue Xiao is a perfect match

"Of course it's true, because there are formations and barriers in the mountain, you can't see it from the outside and you can't get in, come on, I'll take you in."

"Thank you, brother!" Xue Yang climbed up the pole and shouted loudly.

Xiao Xingchen shook his head, and said patiently: "Now you can't call me senior brother, you have to wait for Master to accept you as an apprentice."

"Yes, senior brother! I will definitely perform well and try to ask Master to let me get started!" Xue Yang vowed.

Xiao Xingchen chuckled, with the habit of pampering his juniors and younger sisters, he said helplessly, "Well, you can call it that way if you like, because you are so persistent, maybe Master is moved by you. "

Xue Yang giggled, like an ordinary, honest, handsome young man, completely different from his previous behavior, but Xiao Xingchen didn't feel anything weird, and walked and chatted with Xue Yang.

Xue Yang looked at the young man beside him who was so amused by his few words, and slowly reunited with the pale and handsome appearance in his memory, he couldn't help but raise his hand to press his somewhat sore and swollen heart, and sighed, how many years has it been? , How many years have I not felt such a sense of fulfillment and peace of mind.

From an angle that Xiao Xingchen couldn't see, Xue Yang evoked a weird smile, revealing two pointed canine teeth, and there was an inevitable madness in his eyes.If Xiao Xingchen turned his head at this moment, he would be able to see Xue Yang's crazy and distorted appearance. Unfortunately, Xiao Xingchen was immersed in the few interesting things Xue Yang said, and he didn't even turn his eyes.

brother?Although my seniority is a bit lower, it seems pretty good to be my senior brother alone, Xue Yang thought silently in his heart.

☆, brother

Without the barrier of the enchantment, the scene in front of him suddenly changed.Xue Yang felt like the boatman who strayed into the Peach Blossom Spring.The houses here are all exquisitely built, and their majesty is not inferior to that of Yunshen, which is known for its rigor, but they are more easy-going and leisurely, which is obviously a higher level than Yunshen's.

People who come and go on the stone road, no matter men, women or children, will politely address Xiao Xingchen as "big brother". Xue Yang raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Senior brother, these people are obviously much older than you, why do you still call them "big brother?" Your big brother?" Most of them are in their 20s, and some are older, without exception, they all call him senior brother.

Xiao Xingchen returned the salute to them one by one, and explained to Xue Yang: "Master will not accept everyone as an apprentice. Firstly, they have good eyesight, and secondly, they are talented. Those who don’t know the Master’s Dharma Eyes have become nominal disciples. The Master’s real disciples are only five, one is the elder brother—Taoist Yanling, the other is the elder sister—Zangse Sanren, and then there is me, followed by someone who is two years younger than me. Junior brother Qin Qin, and a three-year-old junior." When mentioning junior and junior, Xiao Xingchen's handsome face was filled with unconscious doting, and he suddenly thought of something and asked, "I don't know how old you are yet?" ?”

Xue Yang, who had been paying attention to Xiao Xingchen, naturally caught the change in him, his eyes darkened, he smiled, and replied, "13 years old."

"That's exactly the same age as Qin Qin." Xiao Xingchen said pleasantly, and then added: "Looking at your stature, you thought you were as big as me." Xue Yang has been traveling around all these years, and his body has been fully exercised , plus a piece of fresh mobile ginseng, you can get rid of the thin and thin appearance in your previous life long ago.

But the key point that Xue Yang grasped was——Qin Qin?What a bad name!If you don't pay attention, it sounds like you're shouting 'kiss', not to mention these two words come out of Xiao Xingchen's mouth affectionately, what 'kiss' do you want?Damn it!Xue Yang refused to admit that he was a little bit upset. He simply felt that Qin Qin was not compatible with him, and that he felt uncomfortable before meeting him.

"It's already dusk, time flies by so fast." With a sigh, Xiao Xingchen said, "Master should have just returned from fishing in Linxi at this moment, let's go to the main house." It's the main house, but the house is in the deepest The place is no different from other ordinary houses.

'Knock knock' Xiao Xingchen knocked on the door politely, and an old but energetic voice came from inside: "Come in."

Xiao Xingchen pushed open the door, called out "Master" respectfully, then moved a step to the side, and brought Xue Yang, who was originally behind him, forward.Xue Yang didn't expect Xiao Xingchen to hold his hand, he froze and staggered slightly as he walked forward.Xiao Xingchen thought he was nervous, so he smiled reassuringly at him.

With Xue Yang's stagger, he shook out the little ginseng hanging on the hem of his back coat, which had been neglected by the two of them.

Only then did Xiao Xingchen realize that there was a little ginseng that he had forgotten and suffered a 'serious injury', his face was reddish, and he said with some guilt: "I was negligent, your spiritual pet is still injured!" While talking, he picked it up carefully.Little ginseng has always been roughly grabbed by Xue Yang, except for the time when he was sick, when was he ever treated so tenderly?Immediately, he lay obediently in Xiao Xingchen's arms, two slightly thicker roots gripped the hem of his clothes, unwilling to move.

Xue Yang felt that his eyes were dazzled, and at that moment, he saw pink peach blossoms on Xiao Xingchen's body.

Without waiting for Xue Yang to distinguish carefully, a kind voice came in with a smile: "It turned out to be a fine little ginseng? The little boy is lucky."

Baoshan Sanren is nearly [-] years old, his hair and beard have already turned gray, and he looks at Xue Yang with kindness and admiration - this child has not been instructed by the master at first glance, and he is full of abilities. He groped for it by himself, he had good bones and a strong body, but what really caught his old man's fancy was this kid's character - he carried such a precious thing as ginseng essence with him, but he didn't hurt it, look at that little guy It looks fat and chubby with dense leaves, obviously it is well taken care of.

Xue Yang immediately reacted cleverly and knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said: "Xue Yang, boy, I have seen Baoshan Sanren, I am here to learn from my master, please take me as an apprentice." After speaking, he kowtowed heavily again.

Xiao Xingchen also helped Xue Yang, telling him about his background and experiences, deliberately concealing the part where he was manipulating the murderous corpse, and only said that he heard screams not far away at the entrance of the barrier, so he rushed over to check Then I met Xue Yang.

Baoshan Sanren stroked his beard without saying a word, and said after a while: "Have you heard of the rules here?"

Xue Yang said: "I know that those who worship the master are not allowed to go out of the mountain. Once they leave the mountain, it means that they have nothing to do with the master."

"It's good to understand, from now on, you will be my No.4 disciple of Baoshan Sanren." After speaking, he picked up the teacup beside him, blew on the floating water, and took a sip.

Xue Yang shouted in surprise: "Thank you, Master!" Kowtowed for the third time since entering the door.

"Okay, let's all go out." Baoshan Sanren put down his teacup, picked up the half-interrupted book, and continued to read.

After leaving the door, Xue Yang excitedly said to Xiao Xingchen: "Senior brother! Senior brother! From now on, you will really be my senior brother."

Xiao Xingchen was also happy for him, and said with a smile, "It's not just me, you also have two senior brothers."

"Taoist Yanling? Who is the other one?" Xue Yang asked.

Xiao Xingchen shook his head lightly, his smile remained unchanged, and said, "Once you leave the mountain gate, you will no longer be master's apprentice. I'm talking about Qin Qin and junior brother Yu Ling." After finishing speaking, he seemed to have forgotten something Knocking his head as if, he changed his voice: "Oh, now Master has a new apprentice, so I can't call him Junior Junior Brother anymore."

Xue Yang's mind was like a bolt from the blue, and he stammered, "What, what do you mean? It shouldn't, it's not what I thought, right?" There was a hint of luck in his voice, expecting Xiao Xingchen's denial.

Seeing him stunned as if struck by lightning, Xiao Xingchen hugged the little ginseng and silently turned sideways, put the back of his half clenched right hand against his lips, trying to hold back a snigger until his shoulders trembled.The smile in the voice was so full that it was overflowing, with a bit of teasing unique to teenagers, and said: "That's what you think, little, master, brother."

Small!division!younger brother!When these three words were hit on the head, Xue Yang was in a bad mood.

Later, Xue Yang found out that the disciples of Baoshan Sanren were arranged according to the order they entered, but Xiao Xingchen, Qin Qin, and Yu Ling happened to be picked up by Baoshan Sanren in that order.

Xue Yang, who was thinking according to the habitual way of thinking, thought that this place was ranked according to age, just like the Yamashita sect.

At that time, Xue Yang, who already had two cheap senior brothers for no reason, had a disheveled face, his stomach knotted with regret: Why didn't I just become a nominal disciple at that time?

☆, daily life in the mountains

"Yangyang, come here quickly, senior brother brought you something to eat!" A five-year-old boy wearing a miniature Taoist robe rushed into the door like a gust of wind, looking for Xue Yang with his round eyes, shouting as he ran around the room. : "Yangyang! Yangyang where are you? Yang~yang~~yangyang~~yang~~~yang~~~~"

Last night, thinking about things, I didn't sleep well. Taking advantage of the quiet at noon, Xue Yang, who was catching up on sleep, was woken up. The magic sound pierced his brain and gave him a headache, so he said impatiently and fiercely, "Why are you shouting when you have nothing to do! It's so noisy! "

The child seemed to be used to his attitude and didn't mind. Hearing his voice from the room, he rushed in and saw Xue Yang half lying on the bed, with his left hand propped up on the bed board, his right hand stretched open to press his temple, his brows were tightly knit. Wrinkled, with an uncomfortable expression on his face, he put the bowl in his hand on the ground, rushed to the side of the bed, hugged Xue Yang's head, rubbed it for him distressedly, and said worriedly: "Yangyang, what's wrong with you? Are you comfortable? Do you want to take medicine? By the way, are you hungry? Zhang Erniang made me glutinous rice cakes with red dates, do you want to eat? Yangyang, talk to me."

Xue Yang's hair, which was originally smooth, was messed up by him. He wanted to say something, but he interrupted him again, and the corner of his mouth twitched.Finally Xue Yang couldn't bear it any longer, grabbed his two kneading little hands together, half sat up, and hugged the child directly into his arms.The child struggled for a while and found that he could not move his limbs, so he was hugged by him obediently, and he kept talking: "Yangyang, are you feeling uncomfortable? I will go to see the senior brother. The senior brother said that when you are sick, you are sick. Everyone in this world is very fragile and needs love and care. Rest assured, Yangyang. I won’t go anywhere today, so I’ll just stay with Yangyang. Let go of me first, Yangyang. You’re holding me too tightly. Senior brothers can’t even hug you. Yangyang~~ Be good, Be obedient~"

Taking a deep breath and calming down, Xue Yang was worried that he couldn't help it and sent him directly to reincarnation. Since coming here, Xue Yang felt that he had never been comfortable.When the person in his arms said he was tired and quieted down, Xue Yang said, "Is it over? First of all, I'm not sick, even if I'm sick, you're responsible for it. Secondly, I'm just sleeping. I'm sleeping well. Come in." It just woke me up, and now I have a terrible headache." After speaking, Xue Yang deliberately added: "It's also your fault!"

The little man in his arms suddenly became limp, with a crying voice: "I'm sorry, Yangyang, I didn't mean to, woo~~ I'm sorry, don't be angry." As he spoke, he choked up.

Xue Yang thought that the little ginseng would be clean after following Xiao Xingchen, but who would have thought that a clingier little brother would appear again, ever since this little guy knew that he had got rid of his identity as a little brother and could become a brother, he had been doing everything for a while. Tianwei stood beside him and asked this and that, 'Is it cold, senior brother will get you some clothes', it's so cold in summer! 'Aren't you hungry, senior brother will find you something to eat', who wants to eat your milky mashed potatoes! 'Come on, senior brother will teach you how to recognize the mind', he doesn't need to teach him to read one by one!The list goes on and on.Xiao Xingchen said: Yu Ling is addicted to being a senior, he will be fine after a while, he is still young, so let him be wronged first, bear with it.This "period of time" is two years.

Xue Yang sighed, and coaxed helplessly: "Okay, I'm just kidding, didn't you bring me something to eat? Bring it to me to see."

Hearing that his beloved little brother wanted to eat, Yu Ling regained his energy. Regardless of the tears still hanging on his long eyelashes, he slid down from Xue Yang's arms, brought over the plate that was placed on the ground before, and said as if offering a treasure: "This It was specially made by Zhang Erniang for me, and I am the only one on the whole mountain." After speaking, he took a piece and fed it to Xue Yang's mouth.

Xue Yang said, "I will do it myself."

Yu Ling refused to let him touch it, and said seriously: "You haven't washed your hands yet, I washed them clean."

Xue Yang twitched the corners of his mouth, and instead of arguing with him that he had been rubbing his own behavior just now, he opened his mouth to eat the sweet and greasy pastry into his mouth.

Expected taste - sweet enough to kill a person!Resisting the urge to spit it out, Xue Yang casually chewed or swallowed it.

"Is it delicious?" Yu Ling begged for compliments.

Xue Yang, who just wanted a cup of strong tea, said after a while, "It's delicious."

"Ah, let me just say it's delicious. If it's delicious, you can eat more. You have to finish all of these." Yu Ling said happily.

Looking at the whole plate of sweet and greasy pastries in front of him, Xue Yang bit his tongue.

Under the expectant eyes of the little senior brother, Xue Yang ate a plate by accident.

In the afternoon, after teaching those registered disciples the daily required sword skills, Xiao Xingchen returned to the courtyard and saw Xue Yang sitting on a stone bench with a teapot in hand.Just a little thirsty, Xiao Xingchen walked over, took the teapot in his hand, poured a cup of tea and fed it directly into his mouth.

'Pfft—' A mouthful of strong tea was sprayed out, Xiao Xingchen stared at Xue Yang in amazement, and said, "What stimulated you?" The strong bitter taste lingered in his mouth.

Xue Yang said angrily, "It's not your good brother who did it!" His voice was hoarse, Xue Yang's throat hurts when he spoke now.

"What's wrong with your voice? What did he do?" Xiao Xingchen asked worriedly.

"I'm stupefied, he made me eat a whole plate of glutinous rice cakes that were too greasy to die for." Xue Yang replied reluctantly with a sullen face.

Xiao Xingchen thought it was funny, and said, "Oh, it seems that he really loves you." Looking at Xue Yang's stinky face, he also knew that his throat was hurting, so he put away the overly obvious smile on his face, Then he said: "Wait for me for a while, I'll make some soup and medicine for you."

Xue Yang snorted coldly.

☆, daily life two

The days are leisurely and leisurely.

Xue Yang was lying on the old peach tree where he used to stay, with his eyes closed and his hands across his face to block the sunlight from the cracks in the trees.At noon, the breeze blows intermittently at Yabian, and the fragile peach petals are swirled one after another.

Xiao Xingchen walked up the mountain road, turned around Yabi, and saw Xue Yang lazily hanging on the tree in a blink of an eye, with falling petals scattered on his body, and occasionally one or two floated to his lips, and he stretched them out. The tip of the red tongue curled up, and she chewed the petals in her mouth, leaving a layer of water on her lips.Xiao Xingchen had long felt that Xue Yang's tongue was different in color from other people's. Ordinary people's tongues were reddish and white in color, but he was not. His tongue was like after drinking boiling water accidentally and being scalded. The color is like the blood flowing from a finger pricked by a needle point, but fresher than blood, like a red spar, but richer than a spar, Xiao Xingchen can't think of what color it looks like.

As soon as the sound of footsteps appeared, Xue Yang knew who it was. The sound was getting closer and closer, and he didn't bother to open his eyes, waiting for the person to speak.After waiting for a long time, the person standing beside him seemed to be frozen, and said nothing. Xue Yang wanted to raise his head, but he was too comfortable with the sun and the breeze, and he was reluctant to open his eyes.Another gust of breeze rushed over with the scent of peach blossoms, and a piece of lace fell on his lips softly, crisp and itchy.Xue Yang moved his lips, but he didn't lose them, and couldn't help but stick out his tongue to curl them.

Xiao Xingchen didn't want to break the tranquility inexplicably, standing aside, his eyes fell on Xue Yang's rosy lips, and he was rarely stunned. By chance, another petal stuck to Xue Yang's lips, His eyes flickered, Xiao Xingchen raised the hand hanging by his side, but he still held back.The pink petals lined the moist lips, very beautiful, until Xue Yang wanted to get rid of the broken flowers uncomfortably, he raised his hand, just as the tip of his left index finger touched the petals, he was licked by sudden moisture.

Um?This touch is wrong!Xue Yang was startled, he sat up halfway propped up on a branch, his eyes widened, and he said in a daze, "Senior brother, what are you trying to do by standing here without speaking and scaring me?"

Xiao Xingchen withdrew his hand calmly, held it halfway, and said, "Just now I saw the petals falling on Junior Brother's mouth, and I want to help Junior Brother pick it off."

Xue Yang relaxed, his face was a little red, and his voice was slightly awkward: "Oh, thank you, brother."

Xiao Xingchen put his left hand behind his back, rubbed his thumb lightly where he had just been licked, and said to Xue Yang, "Didn't my junior realize that the petals I chewed in my mouth before have a strange taste?"

Xue Yang froze for a moment, and licked his tongue. Except for the scent of flowers and some leftover flower residues, he felt nothing in his mouth.Seeing Xue Yang's puzzled expression, Xiao Xingchen said calmly: "I haven't seen my junior brother have a hobby of eating flower petals before, and I found it fresh for a while." He said, with a hint of teasing in his voice: "Earlier, a tiny flesh worm landed on the On the petals, before I had time to remind the younger brother, the younger brother chewed it in casually."

Xue Yang's handsome face turned blue, and he licked the residue of the petals, as if he really felt the soft and still wriggling touch in his mouth, for a while he forgot to care about licking Xiao Xingchen's finger just now .To say that this worm is nothing in the past, I am used to suffering, eating a worm is nothing, but in the past few years, I have eaten delicious food on the mountain, and the whole person has become squeamish, and they say that it is easy to change from frugality to luxury. It's hard to be frugal, and Xue Yang is no exception. He felt a little sick, and wanted to rinse his mouth quickly, and said through gritted teeth, "Senior brother! You just watched me eat it?" This damn Xiao Xingchen!

Xiao Xingchen looked at him innocently, and asked curiously embarrassedly: "Seeing that the younger brother chewed it seems to be very delicious, and I don't want to spoil the younger brother's sex, so I didn't bother you. By the way, how does a living meat worm taste like? Is it particularly fresh?"

Xue Yang was pissed off by his serious discussion about the taste, so he glared at him, and said viciously, "You'll know if you eat one yourself!" Without waiting for Xiao Xingchen's reaction, he ran down the mountain in a flash up.

Xiao Xingchen looked at the direction he jumped away until the figure disappeared, and the smile in his eyes disappeared. He came to tell his junior brother that he was about to go down the mountain, and wanted to ask him if he would go with him. If so, of course he would. The best thing is that the younger brother seems to have a cheerful temperament, but he is not close to anyone except himself. The reason why he gets close to the younger brother Yu Ling is because he is too clingy. If he is left alone here, he will not know Will he be alone.

Thinking of the possibility that his junior brother might refuse to go down the mountain with him, Xiao Xingchen's eyes became a little sad, but this world is not peaceful, and monsters are rampant, but this mountain can protect him for the rest of his life.With a thought, the Shuanghua sword floated in front of him with a cold air. If you can't use this skill in the world, what's the point of studying hard all these years?Thinking of this, Xiao Xingchen's usually warm gaze became resolutely cold.

As for the younger brother staying on this mountain, it is the safest

☆, angry one

Early in the morning, after Xue Yang finished his sword practice, he felt a lot more comfortable. He swung back to the house with the sword in one hand.Before stepping into the threshold of the courtyard, he heard a child crying from inside, Xue Yang rolled his eyes, pushed open the courtyard door with his toes and stepped in, jokingly said: "Oh, crying so sad, Who snatched your little milk cake?"

In the yard, Yu Ling huddled her body, her legs were also curled up on the stone bench, and she was twitching from crying, her tears were like rain.Qin Qin, who was sitting next to him, was silent, his usual dull face was covered with a layer of melancholy.The little ginseng raised by everyone stood on the edge of the table, stretching out its roots and branches to help Yuling wipe away tears. Just after wiping a line, new water stains covered it. After working for a long time, The whole body of the small ginseng has been washed, and the leaves are also wet.Seeing that Yu Ling was crying until his eyes were red, and the little ginseng was running around on the table in a hurry, when he heard Xue Yang's voice, his black eyes became bright, and he immediately jumped off the table and ran towards Xue Yang, grabbing The corner of Xue Yang's robe climbed up.Xue Yang skillfully picked it up and hugged it.The little ginseng nestled in Xue Yang's arms, tugged at his skirt, and pointed to the stone table.Xue Yang followed the direction pointed by the little ginseng, walked to Yu Ling and sat down, tugged at his tender little face, and Yu Ling rarely responded.Xue Yang raised his eyebrows, stretched out his arms to hug him, and the little ginseng consciously hugged Xue Yang's neck and climbed onto his shoulders to squat.Yu Ling leaned against Xue Yang, crying even more fiercely, and said with grievance: "Wow~Yangyang~~Brother" After crying for too long, he choked as soon as he spoke, "Brother doesn't want us anymore~"

Xue Yang followed the movements of his back with his hands, and asked softly, "Oh? He loves you so much, how could he not want to let you go." Normally, Xiao Xingchen would think about this little guy for everything. Chen didn't want him anymore, Xue Yang absolutely didn't believe it.

"Eldest brother is leaving." Qin Qin, who always cherishes words like gold, explained, his voice was a little hoarse, without any fluctuations in tone.

Xue Yang was taken aback, then looked at Qin Qin, let's go? "Where are you going?" After going up the mountain for several years, this Qin Qin has always been like a rock, walking alone, only getting along with Xiao Xingchen and Yu Ling, and never opened his mouth unless necessary. He talked to Qin Qin more than once. You can count on one hand.Xue Yang was unhappy seeing him, definitely not because Xiao Xingchen cared most about Qin Qin, who was like an ice sculpture, besides this crying junior brother.

"Joining the WTO." Qin Qin said, leaving the mountain means breaking away from the bounds of Baoshan Sanren, and he is not allowed to come back.

The morning sun has just risen, slanting down from the east, spreading a warm golden light, Xue Yang is facing the light, his expressionless handsome face is a little darker than the shadow, his drooping eyelids gather all emotions .The atmosphere became very quiet for a while, and even the crying Yu Ling felt something was wrong, and his momentum weakened, leaving only stagnant sobs slowly.After a while, Xue Yang raised the corners of his mouth and raised his eyes, with a cold smile covering his eyes, and said in the same tone as usual: "When did senior brother decide? Why have I never heard him mention it?" .”

Qin Qin frowned slightly, for some reason, at this moment, he felt like being stared at by a poisonous snake in the dark, aware of the danger, but couldn't find the source, and endured the unknown chill rising all over his body , Qin Qin replied subconsciously: "Five days ago, the master agreed to the brother's request. These days, the brother is arranging things in the mountain, and he will go down the mountain tomorrow." After speaking, Qin Qin felt that the surrounding air was quiet , The feeling of being shrouded in danger made him want to draw his sword very much, so he could only pinch the teacup on the table uncomfortably and groan, did I say something wrong?Qin Qin asked himself.

The little ginseng always looked at Xue Yang's face, keenly sensed that something was wrong with Xue Yang, and did not dare to move, quietly treating herself as a little mushroom nestled on his shoulder.Yu Ling also leaned obediently in Xue Yang's arms, her red eyes were swollen, and she didn't dare to cry.

"Everyone knows?"

Qin Qin nodded.

No wonder I couldn't find him in the past few days, so, was I the only one who was kept in the dark, or the last one who "coincidentally" found out from others?Xue Yang laughed suddenly, it turned out that I was so insignificant in his heart.

The weird laughter forced the little ginseng to shudder. Based on its understanding of Xue Yang, Xue Yang's emotions were on the verge of eruption at this moment. Those who offended him when he was angry in the past, whether it was monsters or people, finally Its fate is extremely miserable, but it has never seen such an angry yet smiling face.The little ginseng instinctively felt that Xue Yang was more dangerous than ever at this moment, well, in order not to be angered, it might as well be a mushroom quietly.

☆, angry two

At night, the small courtyard was pitch black, without even a breath of wind, and a black powder as thick as ink permeated every corner of the small courtyard.In the house, the little ginseng couldn't hold back the drowsiness for a long time, and fell asleep on the pillow so that he didn't know what happened.Xue Yang lit a stick of incense, a little spark was reflected in his icy eyes, and the faint black smoke from above swam around like silk.After inserting the incense into the small incense burner on the wooden table beside the bed, Xue Yang took off his coat and threw it aside, picked up another thing he had prepared on the table, and then lay down on the bed with his back to the door.

After a while, the door was knocked as expected, once or twice.Xue Yang turned the things in his hands, but responded.

The knock on the door became a little hasty, but I still held back the knock and did not knock too hard. There was also a worried voice in the middle: "Junior Brother, are you asleep?"

No one answered, the person outside the door pushed hard, and the door latch was firmly horizontal. "Xue Yang? Yang Yang? Open the door quickly! Don't hold on when you're sick!" Still no one answered.Xiao Xingchen frowned, and pushed the door hard again, but it didn't open.

Xiao Xingchen's worried expression was overlaid with a layer of solemnity. At that moment, regardless of whether Xue Yang would be angry or not, he directly slashed at the door with his sword energy, and the door latch split into two and fell to the ground.Pushing the door open, Xiao Xingchen walked quickly to the bed.

There was no light in the room, Xue Yang turned his back to him, and couldn't see his expression clearly.

Xiao Xingchen carefully sat down by the bed, trying not to disturb Xue Yang, and asked in a warm voice, "Junior brother, why are you feeling uncomfortable?" Today he explained everything clearly, and he didn't go back until dark. Before the stool was warmed up, Yu Ling rushed in like a gust of wind and told him that Xue Yang was sick, and it was still very serious. When asked what the disease was, the little guy couldn't explain it clearly. He was sick after tossing and turning.Xiao Xingchen rushed over immediately.

"Yangyang?" Xiao Xingchen lightly touched Xue Yang's shoulder, and after a while, Xue Yang gave a soft "hmm".

Xiao Xingchen didn't let go of his heart when he heard his voice, but became even more worried. When Xue Yang was so "weak" on weekdays, he must have been very uncomfortable.Xiao Xingchen reached out to check Xue Yang's pulse, but he dodged when his fingertips just touched his wrist.The never-before-seen rejection made Xiao Xingchen froze. Enduring the inexplicable sense of loss in his heart, he said in a gentle voice, "Junior brother, why are you feeling uncomfortable? Tell me, okay? Senior brother is really worried about you."

Xue Yang looked into the darkness expressionlessly, blinked his eyes, and asked slowly, "Brother, are you worried about me?"

Seeing that he was willing to speak, Xiao Xingchen stretched his brows a little, and said, "Of course I'm worried about you, let me have a look." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to press Xue Yang's wrist again, this time he was not dodged, Xiao Xingchen Xingchen's heart that had been blocked just now eased up a bit, and he felt the pulse in Xue Yang's body seriously, but he didn't find anything unusual.

Xiao Xingchen frowned even tighter, but his body was fine, so what could be the reason?After careful inspection again, they still didn't find anything abnormal in Xue Yang's body.

The quietness in the small courtyard was a little too much for a while, the little ginseng was still asleep, and the incense on the bedside had been burned for the most part, but there was no trace of burnt incense ash left in the stove.

Feeling a little dizzy, Xiao Xingchen thought, maybe it's because he hasn't had a good rest in the past few days.At this moment, his whole heart was on Xue Yang, and he didn't think about it, he just raised the back of his hand and tapped his forehead.At some point, Xue Yang had turned around and lay flat, his dark eyes seemed to be filled with a lake of undercurrents, the inside was constantly turbulent, and the surface was calm, staring at Xiao Xingchen quietly, said: "Xiao Xingchen , if only you had been obedient like this."

Xiao Xingchen was in a daze for a moment, and didn't pay attention to Xue Yang's address. He shook his head and said, "Junior brother, you are the one who is obedient. Don't tell me if you feel uncomfortable." It seemed that his head was getting dizzy.

Xue Yang grabbed the hand that was signaling his own pulse with his backhand, and pulled hard. Xiao Xingchen was unprepared, and his reaction was much slower, and he fell directly on Xue Yang's chest.

"Senior brother thinks I'm annoying and wants to abandon me? Why do you care about my feelings now?" Xue Yang grabbed his hand and said indifferently while pressing the right hand holding the things on Xiao Xingchen. Pressing his back, he wanted to get up, and then slowly slid to the back of his fair neck.

Xiao Xingchen finally realized that something was wrong with Xue Yang today. He felt a sharp object sliding on his back. He was about to struggle to get up, but he realized that most of his strength had disappeared. With a hint of anger, Xiao Xingchen's tense body relaxed a little, and quickly explained: "Why did I ever want to abandon you? I told Master that if you want, you can leave with me tomorrow." After finishing speaking , Xiao Xingchen felt guilty for a while, the younger brother was living well on this mountain, and he was selfish, so he insisted on taking him to that dangerous world, but when he thought that he would never see his younger brother again in the future, Xiao Xingchen felt that his life No luster, a gray one.

Xiao Xingchen felt guilty for the first time after living for so long.

Xue Yang's hand on the nape of his neck paused, his voice finally warmed up, but he still questioned, "Take me with you? But you never mentioned it to me before." The incense on the table had been burned out.

Xiao Xingchen buried his head on Xue Yang's shoulder, and explained sullenly: "The bottom of the mountain is naturally not as safe as the top of the mountain. I am afraid that my junior brother will not go with me, so I want to come over tonight and ask. If my junior brother refuses, I will leave tomorrow. Even if I don’t want to part with it, it won’t affect my handling of the affairs in the mountain.” Xiao Xingchen, who clearly felt the strong heartbeat of the person below him, felt a little dizzy from the moment he entered the door, felt that his eyelids could hardly be opened at this moment. Xue Yang's heartbeat seemed to be hypnotizing him, making him want to sleep very much.

The cold air that had enveloped Xue Yang all afternoon was like broken ice in spring, and it finally melted.

"Well, it seems that I wronged senior brother, but I was the last one to know that senior brother was going to leave, and this matter still makes me very uncomfortable." Xue Yang turned his head and approached Xiao Xingchen's ear, burning hot The breath made the ticklish Xiao Xingchen turn his head with the last bit of strength, just facing Xue Yang.In this way, as soon as Xue Yang opened his mouth, his lips would brush against Xiao Xingchen's nose, and he said softly: "Brother, this is the last time I forgive you, forgive you for hiding something from me, if there is another time , I will let you be my Xiao Xingchen, and only listen to me." In the end, although his voice was soft, his tone became more and more serious.

When Xue Yang moved away the nail that had been pressing on the back of Xiao Xingchen's neck, the sharp tip of the nail was already stained with bright red.

☆, Fuyuan Town One

After rejecting a stranger's invitation to stay overnight for the third time, Xiao Xingchen said to Xue Yang beside him, "Junior brother, do you feel that there is something wrong with this town?" In the wilderness and in the crowded villages and towns, Xiao Xingchen except for many formed murderous corpses and bloodthirsty monsters.Passing by Fuyuan Town at this moment, I found that all able-bodied young people in this town were conscripted to serve, and those who served never came back. Most of the streets are lonely old people and young women, and they are very enthusiastic about foreigners. .

Xue Yang threw the last fried chestnut in his hand into his mouth, and said, "The people here are very generous to others. It can be said that... they are defenseless." This town is more than half a month away from the nearest big city. , and there are no young and strong men in the town, but the town does not appear to be poor at all, and the faces of the townspeople do not show any sadness.If it is said that they are numb, it can barely be used as an excuse, but it is strange that such a remote town can be so rich. "How about we stop here for a few days, anyway, we are not in a hurry." Xue Yang knocked on the delicate bamboo basket behind him as he said, the bamboo basket moved, and the lid on it was pushed open by a ginseng root , and put a handful of peeled chestnuts on Xue Yang's open palm.Xue Yang withdrew his hand in satisfaction, and the sound of crackling chestnuts continued to be heard from the bamboo basket.

Xue Yang handed Xiao Xingchen a few, but Xiao Xingchen reluctantly refused.

On the day they left, the villain insisted on following Xue Yang when he saw that Xue Yang was gone, and refused to listen to any persuasion, but Xue Yang impatiently knocked him unconscious and threw him back into the house. He followed not far away, with a thin, whispering voice, it was hard not to notice it, but in the end Xiao Xingchen relented and lifted the dirty little ginseng out from under the stuck tree root.The wild suburbs are fine, no one is there, it can walk on its own, once it enters the villages and towns, it will be bad if someone cares about it, so Xiao Xingchen made a bamboo basket for it, this bamboo basket was originally carried by Xiao Xingchen Later, Xue Yang found out that the little ginseng was a good laborer, so he took the bamboo basket and carried it on his back.

Xiao Xingchen nodded and agreed, "Alright, then let's find a place to rest first."

Xiao Xingchen gave away all the entanglements on the two of them all the way - when he heard the old beggar yell "My lord, please do me a favor", he bought food and gave them money without saying a word.Xue Yang told him not to be so kind. Xiao Xingchen said: "The world is hard, help if you can. If you can live a normal life, who would be willing to kneel down and beg without dignity." Xue Yang silently rolled his eyes in his heart, and secretly said: Then you are I have never seen anyone pretending to be disabled to cheat money. Their dignity is worthless in front of money.It's nothing more than helping disabled and elderly beggars, eliminating demons in the local area, meeting lonely women and children in poor villages, not only helping to repair the house, but also giving money!So that people insisted on marrying their only daughter to him, saying that it was to repay their benefactor, but Xiao Xingchen refused sternly, and they all burst into tears, kneeling and kowtow, and finally were frightened by Xue Yang who was on the side with his murderous expression. A shiver, this is nothing.Xiao Xingchen said: "The border has been fighting for years, and all the men in their families have been taken away. Their life and death are unknown. I can't just stand by and watch the soldiers who are going to death just to protect one side of the country." So it makes sense for others to marry their daughter to you. Among them, right?Xue Yang was speechless.Then, in the wild forest, he met a Taoist friend who had been injured by eliminating demons. Xiao Xingchen took him to the medical center and paid for the medical treatment... Xue Yang took the little ginseng and accused them of dying. Xiao Xingchen only gave up when he had money to eat.This time his reason was: "This fellow Taoist was injured while trying to get rid of evil spirits, and he also saved a hunter in distress. How can we ignore such a righteous man." So now the two of them are already poor up.

I walked around the town, but I didn't find a ruined temple or a righteous village.In the villages and towns I met in the past, no matter how dilapidated they were, they would build one or two fairy temples as places to pray for blessings. It is not ruled out that the people here will enshrine the statues of gods alone at home, but there is not even Yizhuang here, which is unreasonable. Undead?

It was getting dark, and the two had no choice but to accept an old man's kindness and live in his house.The old man's surname is Xu, and there is also a granddaughter who is about sixteen or seventeen.The two followed Mr. Xu and turned half a street, and stopped in front of a half-open door. From the outside, a woman could be seen embroidering under a candle lamp.Hearing the familiar footsteps outside the door, the woman immediately put down the half-embroidered handkerchief and came up to her. When she reached the door, she found that there were two handsome young men behind her.

The old man said: "Two Taoist priests, this is the old granddaughter, Xu Wan, Wanwan, these two Taoist priests are going to stay at our house for a few days, so go and clean up the two empty rooms." People come into the house.

When Xiao Xingchen passed by Xu Wan's side, he saluted politely and thanked him warmly: "I'm Xiao Xingchen, this is my younger brother Xue Yang, because I don't have enough money, I have nowhere to rest when I pass by here. Fortunately, Mr. Xu Take care, this time I have to work hard for Miss Xu to clean up the guest room for us, I am very sorry, please accept this safety talisman, and express my gratitude." He handed Xu Wan a piece of paper that would be accepted by ordinary sects.
