not immortal

Jiang Xu was stunned, and the surroundings became extremely quiet. It didn't rain today, only chirping birds were heard from afar, and dew dripped from the leaves, splashing water in the puddle under the tree.

"Xu Xu?" He heard Yan Sui calling him, with a gentle tone, "Let's practice here today, go talk to Cheng Jianyu and Ya, and we'll go first."

"Ah?" Jiang Xu was stunned for a moment and then quickly came back to his senses, "Oh, okay, where is senior brother going?"

Yan Sui then told him: "I still don't have a clue about the broken bridge yesterday, Master is pressing me hard, I'm afraid Xu Xu will be needed to help."

Jiang Xu lowered his eyes suddenly, and pretended to look calmly at him again, stumbled and said, "I don't really know who that person is...Senior brother, what I said that day is all I know."

"Really," the corners of Yan Sui's mouth moved slightly, his expression was still warm, "Xuxu, are you tired?"

Jiang Xu avoided his expression and nodded: "Well, I feel a little tired now... Brother, do you want me to go with you?"

Yan Sui lowered his eyes and stared at him for a while, and finally raised his hand to wipe off a little dust on Jiang Xu's shoulders, and said in a gentle voice: "Since I'm tired, I'll go back and have a rest. Remember to practice after noon, Master will always On Qiongxiao Peak."

On the contrary, Jiang Xu hesitantly crushed the wet grass and soil on the ground, his eyes wandered between Yan Sui and the distant mountains and forests for several times, and finally he groaned for a long time, Yan Sui waited for a while and didn't wait for the next sentence, he smiled helplessly , took the initiative to take a step back, his eyes darkened slightly.

"Then I'll go first," he nodded slightly at Jiang Xu, and opened his umbrella again, "Xu Xu, see you when you have time."

Jiang Xu was obviously relieved, and his smile was obvious: "Okay, I'll wait for senior brother to go first."

Finally, looking at Yan Sui's back, he sighed lightly again, raised his hand and grabbed the still sore wrist, kneading it unconsciously, his heart sank heavily, but he couldn't explain why he was feeling melancholy, I just repeated the previous things in my mind over and over again, and the phantom "yes" always echoed in my ears.

It seems... He blinked blankly, inexplicably recalling that dream, Yan Sui in the dream was only a back figure, hidden far away among the overlapping mountains.

Seems like it's fine now.

"Junior Brother Jiang—" Cheng Yan's deliberately protracted tone came from behind, "Everyone has left, but you're still standing here watching."

"I'm not looking at him," Jiang Xu turned around to refute him, "Senior Brother Cheng, do you have something to tell me?"

Cheng Yan leaned against the tree, raised his eyebrows at him, and said lazily: "Isn't this coming out to thank Junior Brother Fanjiang for saving Ya's life, so that she won't be punished to stand when she goes to the medicine hall later."

Jiang Xu just felt baffled: "Senior brother is kind, why do you want to thank me?"

"You really are..." Cheng Yan laughed and couldn't help shaking his head, "It's no wonder Yan Ziji watches you so closely, Junior Brother Jiang, be careful that you'll be deceived someday."

Looking at it now, only Cheng Jianyu is the most unreliable person. Jiang Xu smirked at him and said, "Senior Brother asked me to go back to Qiongxiao Peak to continue my cultivation. Senior Brother Cheng, see you tomorrow."

Cheng Yan clicked his tongue, leaned in front of him in two or three steps, bowed his waist, and almost reached Jiang Xu's face: "Why do I feel that you have changed a bit from before?"

Jiang Xu also quickly took two steps back, with Duan Shanhe blocking his chest, wrinkled his nose slightly and resisted: "What's the difference?"

"Earlier, every time Yan Ziji came back, you wanted to follow him all the time." Cheng Yan rubbed his chin and hissed again, "It's so strange that you actually avoided him this time."

"What's so strange," Jiang Xu's hand holding the sword tightened, his heart skipping a beat, "Senior brother is getting busier now, and it would be too ignorant for me to follow the same way as before."

As a result, Cheng Yan began to yell: "I didn't expect that our Junior Brother Jiang has grown up too - no wonder Yan Ziji asked me two days ago to ask you what wronged you during this time."

Just talking nonsense, Jiang Xu showed him a perfunctory smirk, and said again: "Senior Brother Cheng, I'm going back first."

"All right, all right," Cheng Yan turned his wrist and waved at him, "I know you don't want to talk to me, so hurry up!"

Instead, Jiang Xu was caught in a dilemma, Koutao explained: "I didn't think so, Senior Brother Cheng is so... funny, I naturally want to chat with you more."

It's just that Cheng Yan always talks too much, chatting for several hours, and I don't know where so many gossips come from, no one can stand it.

I still can't beat him, Jiang Xu slandered, and quickly added sincerely in Cheng Yan's expression of success: "But today I really can't."

He only promised his senior brother yesterday that he would practice well. Thinking of this, he lowered his head and looked at Duan Shanhe, and his thoughts became more firm. He gritted his teeth and said, "Next time, next time, we must sit down with Senior Brother Cheng and have a good chat. .”

There were too many concessions, Cheng Yan raised his hand to say goodbye to him in satisfaction: "Then I will wait, Junior Brother Jiang, be careful on the way."

Jiang Xu didn't know what to reply, so he mumbled, turned and left.

As a result, before he had gone far, he saw a tall and tall figure standing far away under the tree, with a lingering sneer in his eyes, he happened to meet his gaze and sneered.

"As expected of worshiping under the suzerain's sect, I exchanged a good sword after not seeing him for a day. It really spoils a good thing."

That was Gao Hang who easily escaped yesterday. Jiang Xu's expression turned cold, and the long sword in his hand trembled and buzzed obviously—Gao Hang's killing intent was too heavy, even without Duan Shanhe in his hand, he could still feel a major crisis feel.

"Gao Hang," he straightened his back, carefully feeling the flow of the little spiritual power left in his body, "Are you really not afraid that senior brother will find out about you?"

"Heh," Gao Hang's eyes fell on Duanshanhe, his tone was cold and sharp, "Jiang Xu, do you dare to let him find me?"

Jiang Xu was silent, and quickly drew out the current boundary in his mind: there is still a long distance from the Iron Lock Bridge, and Wuji Peak has always been guarded by patrol disciples. According to the current time estimate, if Gao Hang really wants to be here Every shot against him is completely self-inflicted.

Therefore, he will not do such stupid things.

Seeing that he didn't answer for a long time, Gao Hang laughed again, and went on talking to himself: "I guess you don't dare, Jiang Xu, you are such a coward."

Jiang Xu raised his head suddenly, with clear eyes, and said, "You won't kill me today, Gao Hang, why don't you tell your purpose earlier, so as not to waste time here."

"You are quite smart sometimes." Gao Hang squinted his eyes slightly, his expression difficult to discern. "Indeed, I can't kill you today. Yan Sui is like a mad dog trying to turn the Wuji School upside down. I was reckless yesterday."

"Why do you describe senior brother like that?" Jiang Xu looked at him coldly, "The most like a mad dog, isn't it you?"

He smiled slightly at Gao Hang's suddenly ugly expression, and said softly: "It's really what I look like, and I feel that others look like something too."

"You have sharp teeth," Gao Hang took a deep breath, and smiled darkly, "Tell me, if Yan Sui finds out...what have you done, what will he think of you?"

"Brother won't believe you." Jiang Xu interrupted him, pursing his lips tightly.

Gao Hang laughed a few times, and asked him sarcastically, "Why do you think Yan Sui won't believe me?"

Jiang Xu clenched his fingers very tightly, and answered him in a steady voice: "You want to kill me, this is a fact, as long as Senior Brother knows this, your words will no longer be trusted."

A look of astonishment appeared in Gao Hang's eyes, and he said after a few breaths: "Yes, you have a day of enlightenment, but Jiang Xu, why do you think I appear here?"

call--

The long wind howled from far away, and the dark clouds enveloped the world again. There were a few faint thunderclaps. Jiang Xu held his sword, and heard Gao Hang's cold smile that seemed to seep into his skin:

"Photography Stone, are you familiar with this thing?"

The bright light cut through the cloudy sky, making Jiang Xu's face pale. He still pursed his lips, stared at Gao Hang with trembling eyelashes, and was unable to say a word for a long time.

Of course he knew what it was, he could keep it in his image, and he didn't even need to send spiritual power, he could check the image left in it with a thought.

Boom-!

The first thunder blatantly sounded from the zenith, and he heard Gao Hang laugh again, with a complacent tone:

"I really can't kill you, but Jiang Xu, don't you want to kill me now?"

……

There were vague footsteps outside the house. Jiang Xu sat on the soft couch by the window, blinked slowly, and his eyes fell on the door, but after a while, there was a creaking sound, and there was someone's hand in the dark. Holding a lamp, she looked down at him slightly.

"Haven't slept yet?" Yan Sui smiled at him calmly, "But a little too energetic during the day?"

Jiang Xu shook his head first, then nodded again, Yan Sui was wearing the moon-white dress in the daytime, half of his face was illuminated by the dim candlelight, Jiang Xu took a breath and smelled the faint smell of alcohol on his body.

The slightly sweet one should be the peach wine that Cheng Yan bought last year.

"I'm not hurt," Jiang Xu said proactively, "You don't need to bother Senior Brother to come here."

Yan Sui's expression was dark, and he stared at him for a while, but he didn't see him all afternoon, and Jiang Xu returned to the original state, unfamiliar, as if he didn't want to talk too much with him at all.

He closed the door calmly, his tone still gentle: "I know you're not hurt, I saw you sitting by the window when I passed by, so I wanted to come in and have a look, Xu Xu, what's the matter?"

"No," Jiang Xu shrank a little towards the window, turning his head to avoid Yan Sui's sight, "I can't sleep for some reason today, but I still think of the time when I was just brought back to the Wuji Sect."

"Xuxu was still young at that time." Yan Sui put the lamp on the table, found a chair and sat down, "he was injured all over again, so skinny and pitiful."

"Well," Jiang Xu's voice was very soft, his fingers tightly clutching his cuffs, "I was too ignorant at the time, even if I think about it, my brother would find me annoying."

That's why they gradually alienated in the back, and said that kind of thing to me, not to mention that the ruthless Taoist is ruthless, even if they get close today, they will always be estranged again in the future.

Yan Sui is always going to prove the Tongtian Dao.

"How could it be?" Yan Sui laughed softly, his eyes became more and more difficult to distinguish, "I hope Xu Xu can still be the same as before. There are only you and me under the master's sect. We should support each other and practice together."

Jiang Xu shook his head, and met his gaze with wet eyes: "But I have grown up, so I definitely can't stick to senior brother like I was when I was young. Besides, senior brother also has his own way to go."

"What about Xuxu?" Yan Sui interrupted him with a smile, "Where is Xuxu going?"

Jiang Xu hesitated for a moment, but seemed to be thinking.

"I also have my own things to do," he finally told Yan Sui, "Senior Brother is right, I should rely more on myself, not Senior Brother."

I should keep a distance from senior brother "m" "'f" "x" "y"% 攉木格瓦诺次, Jiang Xu thought, raising his hand to lightly touch his heart.

There seemed to be a sharp pain gradually spreading from there.

Like being pierced by an arrow, and like...

sad.
