There was the sound of rain rustling outside the window, and the occasional buzzing of insects.

Tang Jinyi was dreaming again.

Green mountains and green waters, small huts, as if nothing has changed.A young man whose head only reached his chest pushed the door in, carrying firewood on his back, which was a bit taller than him.

"Master!" The other party called him crisply: "I'm back!"

Tang Jinyi remembered that the little apprentice was dead, but he was in a dream, so he naturally thought: Maybe I remembered wrongly.

He asked, "When did you come back?"

The young man smiled and said, "I've been here all the time? Master, have you accepted a new disciple?"

Tang Jinyi's heart trembled, and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it.

"Since you have a new disciple, don't come to see me." The young man's face was blurred, but his voice was as clear as an oriole: "Whatever Master wants to do, do it, don't look back."

After these words fell, Tang Jinyi woke up.His cheeks were a little wet, and he quickly wiped them with his hands, as if this could erase all the weakness.

During the movement, there was a light sound from his wrist, Tang Jinyi paused, and when he lowered his head, he saw a thin black chain.

Tang Jinyi: "..."

He stood up expressionlessly, his mood plummeted because of someone.

Seeing him angry, Gu Xuemian acted like a baby at first, but this time Tang Jinyi was already immune to his trick.After several obsessions with no results, the man gradually lost his temper and revealed his original nature.

The martial arts field behind has not stopped making noises all day.

Perhaps it was because the filter was too thick in the past, but at this moment, Tang Jinyi really realized that Gu Xuemian was no longer a thin and weak boy under his wings, but a powerful and moody magician.

Next to the bed was the medicine to drink today, and a plate of exquisite hibiscus cake, because Tang Jinyi thought the medicine was too bitter, so he couldn't eat it with a snack.With just a glance, Tang Jinyi looked away.He has no appetite now and doesn't want to eat anything.

"Master is awake."

Surprised, Tang Jinyi realized that there was actually one person sitting in the dark.

Seeing the young man slowly getting up and walking, he couldn't help turning his head away.My heart is still depressed, and it is a waste to say one more word at this moment.

"Since you're awake, let's drink the medicine." Gu Xuemian sat down beside the bed, and brought the medicine bowl to Tang Jinyi: "When the medicine cools, it will be more bitter."

The other party didn't look at him, as if he didn't hear him.

The atmosphere fell into a stalemate for a while, and no one moved.After a while, Gu Xuemian asked coolly: "How can Master drink the medicine? Do you want me to kill Ding Mengyu?"

"What does it have to do with Mengyu?" Tang Jinyi couldn't help but turn around and stare at him.

The next moment, his jaw was clamped.Before she could struggle, she saw Gu Xuemian raised her head and took a big gulp of the concoction, then bent over to Tang Jinyi.

It was a bitter kiss, and the smell of herbs filled his mouth, almost forcing Tang Jinyi to tears.

Gu Xuemian raised her hand and gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes: "From now on, except for me, Master is not allowed to cry for others."

Domineering and righteous, how can there be any grievances.

Then he bit the tip of his nose lightly, and said in a low voice: "I will let Master cry on the bed."

Tang Jinyi let him do whatever he wanted indifferently, thinking that he thought that Gu Xuemian was cute and pitiful, so he was really blind.

In the rainy season, the sky never turns sunny.

In the eyes of monks, time is immeasurable, but for ordinary people, they have to count the busy seasons.The street market in Tianqing Mansion is as lively as usual, with peddlers roaming the streets and shop assistants shouting their voices to attract customers, while in the lobby, storytellers are telling fairy tales endlessly:

"If you want to say that the pair of peerless geniuses descended into the world, one is dressed in black and the other is dressed in white; one has a gentle smile, and the other is as cold as ice..."

This place is close to the border of Fuzhou, and many monks who went out to practice passed by.The storyteller also wanted to cater to the preferences of these fairy masters, so he only picked two of the young monks who had become famous.

At this time, some people among the resting monks discussed:

"In this way, the two immortal elders are from the same sect?"

At this time, an insider retorted: "There is no such a coincidence. As far as I know, that Gu Xuemian is a disciple of an old ancestor of the Tianqing Sect, and that Daoist Qin should not be from the Tianqing Mansion, but is related to Tianqing." Zong has a personal relationship."

"That's not still a member of the Tianqing Sect!"

The tea house is full of guests, and the tables are not far from each other.There was an unattractive purple-robed man beside him asking: "The Gu Xuemian you are talking about is the only one who has passed on under Xuanyi Xianzun?"

Several people looked at him, and then looked at each other.The young monk who knew about it said: "Exactly. I heard that Xuanyi Xianzun never likes to show off and never accepts disciples. Who knew that he could raise such an outstanding person in a short time."

The purple-robed man took a sip of tea, and said slowly, "It seems that Xianzun himself is not simple."

When mentioning Xuanyi Immortal Venerable, everyone couldn't help lowering their voices.There is not much news about this immortal venerable to the outside world, but there are always people who slip through the net in private——in the meantime, one person mysteriously took out a booklet:

"Hey, here's something nice to show you."

He quietly spread out the picture album under the table, and the others gathered around.I saw a beautiful woman with long hair hanging down on the page, her eyes were cold, her expression was alienated, and her complexion was so beautiful that it took one's breath away.

Several people were speechless, they could only click their tongues in admiration.

There was a monk who had just had a drink, and at this time the alcohol was surging, and he said vaguely: "It's more attractive than that courtyard street flower lady..."

"Hey!" His companion quickly covered his mouth: "What are you talking about!"

A group of people talked again, and then they paid for their tea and things.

The drunk man was walking in an alley with his companion, and the companion advised him: "You can stop talking nonsense, what kind of person is Xuanyi Immortal Venerable, be careful to stir up trouble."

"No, no, I just said it." The man knew that something was wrong, and said stiffly: "I didn't scold anyone, so why not."

The companion shook his head and stopped arguing with him.

Walking to the middle of the alley, my companion lowered his head to search for rain gear in his luggage, but heard a muffled groan behind him.When I turned around, I was almost scared to death:

That drunken nonsense person actually fell to the ground within a few breaths, dead!And there was something thrown on the ground, and the companion took a closer look, and it was the tongue of his talkative brother.

The sign of the warning was obvious, and the companion's legs were so frightened that his legs went weak, and he didn't care about collecting the body, so he ran away without a trace.

After a while, a purple-robed figure appeared in front of the corpse without a sound.He glanced at the unlucky ghost on the ground, stretched out his hand and shook the sapphire folding fan, muttering in his mouth: "Interesting... Immortal Xuanyi, how can you have anything to do with the evil cultivator?"

Tang Jinyi didn't know that he had been locked up for several days.

In the past, he never dreamed that Gu Xuemian would dare to be so rebellious.Now that he has seen everything in one go, Tang Jinyi has calmed down—he has always been very receptive, but he was so disillusioned because he invested too much emotion in Gu Xuemian.

He said, Gu Xuemian, I am not your bird.

Gu Xuemian kissed him, saying that the master is my golden house.

The two of them held on like this, as if they were competing with each other, whoever let go first would be the loser.Thinking about it, Tang Jinyi felt that he was naive.

Until one day, Gu Xuemian stumbled into the room as if drunk, and threw herself on Tang Jinyi's lap.The latter wanted him to go away, but suddenly found that this guy's cheeks were red and his body was hot, as if it was abnormally hot like a furnace.

"Gu Xuemian! What's the matter with you." Tang Jinyi was taken aback, and wondered if this was a new trick of the apprentice.

Until the other party raised his face, revealing the pair of red snake eyes.

Only then did Tang Jinyi realize that Gu Xuemian had a snake blood attack.He suddenly became a little anxious, supported Gu Xuemian's head and asked, "Can you hear me?"

Like a young puppy, he put his head into his arms, grunting and dawdling.Tang Jinyi heard him say: "Master, you won...you won. I will listen to you."

He looked very uncomfortable, his skin was scorchingly hot, and snake-like scales appeared on his neck.This time it was different from the previous attack, and Tang Jinyi was anxious: "You need to find a doctor."

"No." The young man suddenly raised his head, and showed that innocent and dazzling smile again, as if his brain had been burnt out, but his words were still clear: "Master, as long as you are fine."

He leaned forward and pressed Tang Jinyi into the soft bedding.

"I'm going to shed my skin... Master."

Inexplicably, Tang Jinyi's heartbeat was a little messy.Trying to stay calm, he asked, "What's the difference?"

"Don't you know? The only way to kill the black python is when it is shedding its skin." Gu Xuemian smiled, and he threw two things to Tang Jinyi, which were the golden wheel, a magic weapon that he had taken away.

"I don't know how to protect with scales, as long as they stab into the heart, they can kill me." His low voice echoed in Tang Jinyi's ears, like the whisper of a devil's temptation:

"Either, you kill me. Or..."

Tang Jinyi suddenly realized something, and his eyes slowly opened wide.

"I'm going to bully you."
