all beings pity you

The first snow this winter fell on Tianmen Mountain in the north of the Four Realms.

On a path leading to the mountain, a man in a green shirt was standing, holding a broom in his hand, "russlingly" clearing the snow on the stone steps.

As soon as the snow fell, the mountains and forests became even more silent, and the entire mountain top was a little quiet here. Even the well-arranged houses were crushed by the snow and disappeared.

Although the weather was cold, and the wind seemed to be carrying icicles, this man was not affected at all by his thin shirt, and worked hard with his two slender arms.

A piece of snow suddenly slipped from the branch and hit him on the neck with a "slap".

"Hiss...the snow this year is really heavy..."

He reached out and fiddled with the skirt of his clothes twice, looked up at the trees that almost reached into the clouds, and after staring for a moment, his face suddenly changed.

"Zhu Xuan! You ran up the tree again! Are you a monkey?!"

The tree branch trembled twice above his head, and after a while all the snow fell down. The man dodged in a hurry and was almost buried. After the snow fog in front of him gradually dispersed, a figure emerged from the tree. Up and down.

"Senior Brother Zhuqing, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were here just now."

The person in Tsing Yi, as the name suggests, is tall and straight like a bamboo, with a little dull brow, but there is a bright red cinnabar mole on the forehead.Zhuqing stared at the person in front of her for a moment, then turned her head to hold her broom, and said in a muffled voice:

"...You're going to make a fuss, anyway, the master is coming back now."

Zhu Xuan suddenly restrained his hippie smile, stood on the spot scratching his head, stepped forward to Zhuqing's side and wanted to say something, Zhuqing didn't like this, just turned around and ignored him.

"..." Zhu Xuan grabbed the smooth broomstick in Zhuqing's hand and begged, "Brother, this is the last time!"

Zhuqing couldn't resist this move, she smiled helplessly, and had to turn around and say to him:

"Okay! You are making a fuss all day, jumping up and down, and I will hide it from Master for you! This is the head office!"

Zhu Xuan's eyes lit up, and he patted Zhuqing's shoulder, almost knocking him off the stone steps:

"Thank you, brother!"

Then his figure flashed, and with a fierce sword energy, he crossed the snow-covered forest and knocked over the snowflakes all over the ground.

Zhuqing was really angry and laughing, Zhu Xuan was sent to the mountains as soon as he was born, he grew up in the mountains and wild in the mountains, no one can restrain him except his master.Even a person like him who is indifferent and indifferent will often be so angry that he jumps his feet.

This snow has passed, and next spring will be Zhu Xuan's No. 15 year in Tianmen Mountain.This person looked cute and sensible when he was young, but when it comes to stubbornness, this person must be the number one in the mountain, and the monkey king in the back mountain has to be second.

But there are not many people preaching, all because although this person is playful, but his swordsmanship has been truly passed down by the master of Tianmen, and the Frost and Cold Sword in his hand was also bestowed by the master. Few people in China have this treatment.

Zhu Xuan landed in a courtyard with the aura of swordsmanship. This place has a long and narrow courtyard, and the two doors on the east and west sides face each other far away.He lives on the east side, and the house on the west side has been vacant for some reason.

"It snowed a lot this year."

Zhu Xuan brushed off the snow foam on his clothes, intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the door that had been silent for many years not far away, always felt that he could enter another world by pushing that door open.

There was no one answering the sound just now, only a cloud of snow fell on the corner of the pavilion in response to the occasion, Zhu Xuan pushed open the door and went in a little lonely, hung the Frost and Cold Sword on the wall respectfully, and plunged into it. I fell asleep on the bed all night.

When Tianmen Mountain entered winter, it seemed like no one was in the land. All the elders casually said "retreat" and ran away with their necks shrunk, leaving only a group of juniors outside to manage.Even Zhu Xuan's master, Liu Qingyuan, as the leader of a faction, can't do anything at this time of year.

Since Tianmen Mountain was publicized in the world by a person who was once benevolent to Liu Qingyuan, there were so many petitioners that they could go to the East China Sea. Liu Qingyuan had no choice but to close the mountain. A few days ago, he traveled far to the East China Sea. , leaving a bunch of "this can't be that can't" for Zhu Xuan.

After all, Zhu Qing was a master of immortals, but fate was impermanent. After his master died, his senior brother wandered down the mountain. He lacked a bit of vigor, so he had to stay on the mountain to help Liu Qingyuan run up and down.This day, he swept from the top of the mountain to the edge of Lingxi Lake at the bottom of the mountain as usual, leaned on the broom and let out a long breath, and looked up at the sky beyond the mountain, which was covered with unbreakable clouds and mists.

"It's almost time, Master should come back..."

Just as he was talking, the surface of Lingxi Lake in front of him was covered in water mist, and there were layers of ripples.Zhuqing raised her brows and ran a few steps over, and saw a boat approaching lightly on the water, with a person standing on the bow, and if you looked carefully, you would find a child behind this person.

"Master is back! This... Which family is this child?" He stepped forward and said.

Liu Qingyuan replied nonchalantly, and pulled out a thin and small child from behind. Zhu Qing poked his head in doubt and looked around. Just as he was about to ask, he heard a cold voice from above his head, saying:

"Tell me later, take it back first, and tell that kid Zhu Xuan not to bully others. By the way, you are so excited to see me, did he cause some trouble again?"

Zhuqing's face changed, she wanted to laugh but had to hold back desperately, her brows knit into a ball.

"No, Master is too worried."

After finishing speaking, the three of them left Lingxi Lake in a flash.

Zhu Xuan was sleeping soundly, and was picked up by Zhu Qing's pair of crampons, and walked all the way to Liu Qingyuan's residence, Wenxueju, in a daze. When the flowers came down, it was only when Zhuqing slapped him away that he realized where he was.

He straightened his clothes with a disheveled face, knocked on the door lightly and entered, saluted respectfully, then raised his head and said in a dignified manner:

"I don't know the master's return, and the disciple is far away, and I hope the master will forgive me!"

As soon as Liu Qingyuan was amused, he thought that this kid had a long memory today, and then he took back the question of asking Zhu Xuan what trouble he had caused, pulled out the child who had been shrinking behind him, and said softly:

"I don't expect you to welcome me either. I saved this child because he was entangled by monsters. Right now, it's boring to see you practicing alone, and he's homeless, so I simply brought him back."

After hearing this, Zhu Xuan blinked his eyes and looked around several times, as if he wanted to peel off the skin of that person. After a while, he came to a conclusion and said solemnly:

"Master, does our Tianmen only accept good-looking people?"

"..." Liu Qingyuan, "Disciple, you can't put gold on your face like this."

Zhu Qing laughed wildly at the side, but she didn't delay the business, and came back with a black sword in her hand, and handed it to Liu Qingyuan.Liu Qingyuan touched the child and the little head, the child didn't recognize his birth, ran straight over and stood beside Zhu Xuan, looked up at Zhu Xuan, Zhu Xuan suppressed the joy that was about to overflow, and said in his heart: " Master wants to accept him as a disciple?"

"The group of old men went to seclusion for nothing, so that's what they have to do. Yu Sheng, today, as a teacher, I will give you this Dragon Chanting Sword, and I will give you the word "return to your heart" as a precept. I hope you can respect your own way and follow your own heart in the future. This is your senior brother, Zhu Xuan."

Zhu Xuan grinned at Yu Sheng and smiled.

"This is also a senior brother, named Zhuqing."

Zhuqing nodded very reservedly.

Liu Qingyuan had just returned from the East China Sea, and he was inevitably a little tired. As soon as this simple apprenticeship ceremony was over, he rushed a few people out and went to the courtyard to enjoy the plum blossoms by himself.

Zhu Qing went back to her master's former residence as usual, Zhu Xuan was an acquaintance, and brought her freshly baked junior brother all the way back to the remote mountain residence where she lived.

"Your room hasn't been cleaned yet, senior brother will go in person tomorrow, and you can stay with me tonight."

Yu Sheng looked up at Zhu Xuan, and nodded slightly. Zhu Xuan saw the man's eyes at a glance, and said involuntarily:

"My eyes are full of peach blossoms...you must have good luck with your peach blossoms."

Where does this follow!

"How old are you? Why did you think of coming back with Master, but that's okay, I won't have to live such a boring life anymore..."

Yu Sheng heard this in silence, his eyelids twitched suddenly, and he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

While Zhu Xuan took out a quilt from the cabinet, he was still asking questions.After questioning, he found that the child was a little too taciturn.

After Yu Sheng answered this, the next question came up, and he couldn't help thinking in his heart: "Annoying..."

"Annoying Man" didn't know that he was being programmed at this time, he couldn't stop talking, and after a while he came to Yu Sheng, took off the long sword behind his back and hung it up, and clapped his hands after working for a while and said:

"I wronged you tonight, I don't need to be here tomorrow, Master is back and I'm going to pay my respects early in the morning, you must be tired, go to sleep."

After Yu Sheng's slender body climbed up, Zhu Xuan pushed over with a palm and extinguished the lamp at the corner of the table, and soon went to drink tea with Duke Zhou.It was just that he woke up once in the middle of the night, and took a look at the thin figure curled up beside him by the moonlight, and could even vaguely see the thin ribs, as if he would shatter if touched.

Zhu Xuan didn't dare to move, and gently pulled the quilt over, barely burying Yu Sheng's chin before giving up, and lay down lightly.

At dawn on the second day, Zhu Xuan didn't wake up, but Yu Sheng was waiting impatiently, so he stepped forward and pushed Zhu Xuan who was curled up together, and said softly:

"Brother, it's already dawn."

Zhu Xuan lay on the bed with sleepy eyes, and his eyes were empty. After a while, he bounced up like a corpse, grabbed his coat and put it on, and rushed out. As soon as he reached the door, he felt something was wrong, so he turned around and grabbed Yu Sheng's hand, and then he was in a hurry. He ran to Wenxueju without hesitation.

Liu Qingyuan knew the virtues of his eldest disciple very well, and he didn't expect Zhu Xuan to come to greet him from the bottom of his heart, but he was playing with the plum blossoms he raised in the courtyard, when he saw the two of them running in with red faces, kneeling straight into the snow, and said loudly :

"Master, this disciple and my younger brother came to pay their respects. Today is the winter solstice, I hope Master will take care of himself!"

Liu Qingyuan was a little at a loss when he heard such a passionate salute early in the morning. After waving his hand to signal the two to get up, he finally couldn't help laughing: "What's wrong with you today? I couldn't fight in the past. How are you doing? Have you improved recently?"

Speaking of this, he was not afraid at all, and said with a relaxed expression: "Master, don't worry, this disciple understands."

Liu Qingyuan nodded in satisfaction. He understood that the child could do whatever he said, which is very good.Then his eyes moved to Yu Sheng who was beside him.

Yu Sheng is 12 years old this year, only three years younger than Zhu Xuan, but one is a sinner who was exiled and abandoned by the Xuanyang Kingdom in the middle of Shu, and the other is born with a noble status and grew up in the love of everyone in Tianmen.Thinking of this, Liu Qingyuan always felt a little uncomfortable. He raised his hand and called Yu Sheng over, and said in a gentle voice:

"Yu Sheng, I will practice with your senior brother from now on. Although he is a bit playful, he is very reliable. If there is any problem that the master can't take care of, you can find him. Senior brother Zhuqing is also very good. Take Just be at home here."

Yu Sheng nodded slightly, carefully swept his eyes around Liu Qingyuan's face, and looked at Zhu Xuan who was beside him quietly, and understood a little bit what Zhu Xuan said "only accept good-looking people" Meaning.

As a master, Liu Qingyuan looks very young, his skin is firm and his face is like a peach blossom, and the jade crown standing upright on his black hair is amazing.Although Zhu Xuan was still young, his eyes were as if they were filled with morning light.

Yu Sheng was a little dazed watching it, and when he came back to his senses, he found that Zhu Xuan was staring at him and smiling, his eyes brightened even more.Yu Sheng suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and turned his head slightly. The Dragon Yin behind him was hanging on his thin shoulders, hitting his calf every time he walked.

Zhu Xuan ignored why he was uncomfortable, and directly stepped forward and said: "You take this place as your home, senior brother is your elder brother, no one will dare to bully you in the future, don't worry."

Liu Qingyuan raised his eyebrows, and seeing Zhu Xuan's meaningful face, he felt for the first time that Zhu Qing was so stable that he couldn't hide anything.
