Others

Today I changed my younger brother to supervise my homework.

Forgive me for my limited mobility, the master gave the masters of the peaks a special message that I don't have to go out to attend classes, but I still couldn't stop my studies, so I became junior and senior brothers to give me lectures.

It turns out that my junior brother's cultivation level is higher than mine before I know it. I have really wasted my time these years.

The younger brother is giving a lecture, and I am watching him.

Ji Ling and him look so similar, but I think they are two completely different people.

The little junior has perfectly learned the master's aloofness, with the words "Don't come close to strangers" written all over his body, and he doesn't know what he clings to the master every day.At first glance, Ji Ling seems a little alienated, but in reality it is much easier to get along with.

In such a comparison, Ji Ling is much more likable.

"What are you looking at?"

I probably lost my mind too much, so the younger brother stopped lecturing and looked up at me.

"Oh, you caught my mind wandering. I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

I suddenly found that my lying skills were advancing rapidly, and I could make up excuses casually.

The little junior brother's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't bother to delve into it with me, so he continued to talk.

【12】

That night I had a strange dream about my junior brother.

Dreamed that when he was a child, he was as dirty as a clay doll, and was brought up by the master.

I dreamed that I didn't hold his outstretched hand.

He dreamed that when he came to the mountain for the first time, he would not get close to anyone, and would not accept anyone's advances—except for the master, he only clings to the master.

I dreamed that the master took him down the mountain for the first time to practice. At that time, the younger brother was not even old enough to formally start.

dream……

I dreamed that one day I suddenly discovered that he had grown into a handsome and indifferent young man, who had been by Master's side for more than ten years, and still only had Master in his eyes.

Then the dream woke up.

Strange, all right, why do I dream of him?

I got up to drink water, and suddenly found a strange movement in the room, the feeling of being entangled by spider silk came to my heart, I was about to touch the magic circle, and shouted: "Who—"

My mouth was covered by someone, I was startled and panicked, subconsciously bit down hard.

"Hiss—little ancestor, lighten up!"

I blinked, the voice sounded familiar.

——It's Ji Ling.

It was dark in the room at midnight, but I seemed to see his eyes shining brightly.

"Why do you come up at night? Isn't it good to visit Cangming Mountain during the day?"

I asked him.

Ji Ling didn't answer, but stretched out his hand to feel my pulse, and asked me, "Is the injury healed?"

I said, "It's almost done. It's just that Master still doesn't allow me to go down the mountain."

Ji Ling plucked my hair: "The first time you went on a mission, you met such an incredible person, and you were injured like that. I'm afraid your master won't dare to let you go out again in a short time."

I remembered another question: "You haven't told me yet, how did you save me from Xuan Qingyi?"

Ji Ling said: "It's really lucky. He had an enemy with me that day. He heard the puppet silk's movement from the messenger talisman, so he followed me to fight him off."

I was dumbfounded, thinking this is not the same as the reason I made up?

I don't believe it: "You didn't lie to me, did you?"

But Ji Ling said: "What's there to lie to, I can't beat Xuan Qingyi."

I was at a loss for words, and for a moment I didn't know whether to praise him for his self-knowledge.

He pinched my arms and legs and found that I didn't cry out for pain, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It seems that it is almost better, so I don't worry."

thump--

I heard the sound of my heart beating.

Fortunately, it was dark at night, otherwise I think he must have seen that I was blushing.

【13】

I have someone I can keep in my heart.

The senior brother misses the second senior sister, the second senior sister misses the senior brother, and the junior junior misses the master.

And I can miss Ji Ling.

I finally felt the kind of fetters that I envied. It made me care, made me lose my mind all day long, and made me miss someone, but I still enjoy it.

I miss him like crazy.

When I saw him, time was so short.

Ji Ling has something to do again.This time I directly gave him a communication talisman, and the excuse was: What if I am in danger again.

He looked at me with a half-smile, his expression seemed to be saying how dangerous Cangming Mountain could be, and it seemed to be saying, why did you ask me for help when you were in danger.

But he didn't say anything, he just put away the pile of communication symbols properly.

It's over, I can hardly hide my eyes.

Ji Ling sent me a message, saying that he is currently in Qingzhou.And I know that Qingheng Ridge is in Qingzhou, and it is the hometown of him and his younger brother.

He mentioned to me that the Ji family was also a well-known family of cultivating immortals back then, but unfortunately the Ji family was arrogant and arrogant, and was hated by others. In the end, they were crusaded by the rest of the family, and the remaining Ji family were sought by the demons and left homeless.

Now Qingheng Ridge is also occupied by monsters, and it is completely uninhabited.

I expected that he would go to Qingheng Ridge, and this trip would be full of dangers.But I really can't go down the mountain, and I'm even more afraid that even if I go up, I will be a burden to him, so I can only take a message amulet every day, hoping for his safety.

Ji Ling never admitted that he was going to Qingheng Ridge, and only talked about the scenery of Qingzhou every day.I have the right to think that he is writing Qingzhou scenery.But within a few days, the message on the communication talisman became shorter and shorter. On the tenth day, I waited until the second day Lu Xiwei, but I couldn't wait for the message of the day.

Qinghengling was in danger, he must be in danger.I was so anxious that I just wanted to chase Qingheng Ridge immediately, but the master would definitely not allow me, and I couldn't explain the reasons for these things to the people in the master's school.

I can't help Ji Ling, so I can only wait anxiously for the reply of the messenger talisman.

After two days of sleepless nights, I finally couldn't bear it any longer, and fell asleep in the room until the night fell.

When I woke up, I was drenched.

I blinked, my vision blurred by the rain on my eyelashes, and I raised my hand to wipe my eyes.

The back of his hand touched something slightly cool.

I shivered suddenly, fully awake.

Why is there rain in my house?

The vision became clear, and I stood in the back mangosteen forest.I don't know when the night rain started, and it made my heart cool.

I was facing a dark room, according to this direction, it should be the room of my junior brother.

I... sleepwalking?

Am I sleepwalking to stare at my junior brother's room? !

For a while, it was cold to the bone.

Could it be that he was so worried about Ji Ling these days that he was so dazed...

I almost panicked and ran back to my house.

I cast a warming spell on myself, and there was no trace of rain on my body, but I still felt cold all over.

I shivered under the quilt and told myself that I just missed Ji Ling too much.

I took out the stack of messenger symbols, and the news was still a few days ago. Ji Ling said that there is a kind of sweet food in Qingzhou that has a unique taste, and he wanted to bring it back for me to taste.And my reply to him that day was don't treat me like a child, Qingheng Ridge is not a place to stay for a long time.

After reading one page, I hurriedly turned forward: Ji Ling said that there is a unique plant in Qingzhou, which is naturally attracted to magic energy, and can be brought back for detection; Ji Ling said that he was visiting an old friend in Qingzhou. People reunited after a long absence; Ji Ling said...

I read the messages from these days over and over several times before I felt a little at ease.A burst of tossing tiredness surged up, and I fell asleep again.

When I woke up again, I even felt panic and dared not open my eyes.But the elder brother knocked on the door and urged me to go to morning class soon, so I was sure that I was still in the room.

My back was covered in cold sweat, and I was trying to comfort myself that maybe it was a nightmare, but the messenger symbols scattered all over the bed were laughing at me again, it was clearly not a dream.

I slowly got dressed and walked out, the elder brother pulled me unceremoniously: "Don't be lazy after you have cultivated for so long, you should go to another peak for class today."

"I got it, I got it, senior brother, why don't you go back to Bailu..."

"You think I don't want to go back?!"

...I really thought you didn't want to go back.

Just as he was about to step through the courtyard gate, the junior brother also came over.

At this moment, I see him as a scourge, his face is so similar to Ji Ling's, but it only makes me feel terrified.

He looks so similar to Ji Ling... Could I really be mistaken?But it was clear that they were so far apart in demeanor.

The little junior brother noticed that there was a change in my face, originally he just nodded to greet us, but his eyes stopped for a moment, and looked at me.

Those eyes are still clear and bright as before, as if they want to take care of all their thoughts, and there will be nowhere to hide their thoughts.

I hurriedly looked away: "I'm going to be late! Go ahead!"

The elder brother muttered behind his back: "I was not in a hurry just now, why are you in a hurry now..."

I dare not see my junior brother again.

On weekdays, he only clings to Master, and I seldom get along with him.But now I don't even want to meet him face to face.

It's been almost a month since Ji Ling left, and the messenger talisman hasn't moved yet.

I couldn't sleep or eat, couldn't sleep at night, and finally passed out after two days of insomnia.

Waking up to a breeze.

And my house has its doors and windows shut.

——I suddenly discovered that it takes a lot of courage to open your eyes.

I opened my eyes and found that I was standing in front of the courtyard door of the junior junior brother, with one hand slightly opened, as if to push the door open.

The younger brother has a higher cultivation base than me, so it's impossible not to notice my movements.Could it be that he didn't expose me because he was afraid of embarrassment?

Suddenly there was a suppressed cry of pain in the room.

I was stunned for a moment, my first reaction was to go up to see what was wrong with my junior brother, but a gust of night wind came and I suddenly woke up: I couldn't explain why I came to the door of my junior brother late at night.

I was guilty of being a thief and fled.

Apart from attending classes, I locked myself in the room, wishing I could add two more shackles to myself.

I miss Ji Ling so much...?Missing to the point where he would regard the junior brother as him? !

I even started to be afraid of sleep, because I don't know when I will run to my little brother uncontrollably.

The first time was behind the house... the second time was in front of the door... what about the third time?

And what will happen when the junior brother finds out?

I'm really scared.

In this panic, I suddenly received a summons from Ji Ling.

The mood at that moment was like a barren land suddenly full of flowers, no one knew that a single communication talisman was enough to carry my whole body and mind.

Ji Ling's message is still a dull Qingzhou scenery. He said that he went back to his old place and found that the old place was not as beautiful as he remembered, but he finally settled his knot, and he was relieved after that.

Holding the messenger talisman in my hand, I burst into tears.

I want to wait for him to come back, I must tell him my heart.

【14】

With this messenger talisman, I can finally sleep soundly.On weekdays, I no longer have to be afraid of meeting my younger brother face to face.

But when I stopped deliberately avoiding the younger brother, the elder brother told me that the younger brother went down the mountain to practice again, and this was the first time that the master did not accompany him.

The elder brother also said that the master seemed to have quarreled with the younger brother, and even made a move.

I don't know any of this, after all until yesterday I was avoiding my junior brother like a snake and a scorpion.

Ji Ling came back with a bunch of Qingzhou's special products: flowers that last for a long time after picking, "desserts" that are bitter, then sour and then sweet in his mouth, and his old friends specially prepared them for him. The elixir of endless laughter...

If it was me, I would definitely laugh at him for being a child.

But today I can't laugh.

I could only sit upright, anxious, and after he finally introduced the bunch of gifts, I said directly: "—Ji Ling, I like you."

Ji Ling was stunned, speechless and expressionless for a moment.

I don't know how the people who are happy with each other will react when they hear this sentence, but I only know that my heart is getting tighter and tighter.Ji Ling's next action or next sentence will either let me sit on the ground and fly up immediately, or let me immediately fall into hell forever.

Ji Ling finally spoke—I changed a hundred emotions in just this moment—he suddenly showed a shy expression, and said, "Hey, how can a child say such a thing first..."

I'm almost suffocating, what on earth is he trying to say, can he finish it all at once? !

Ji Ling's face slowly turned red in front of me, he turned his head away and said softly, "Me too."

"What are you too?!" I didn't know where the impulse came from, and I suddenly slapped the table and stood up.

Ji Ling looked at me, and I felt that we were looking at each other like two ripe tomatoes, and he said, "I like you too."

The sound of nature is nothing more than that.

As if all the strength in my body was exhausted in an instant, I sat back as if exhausted.

It was only then that I gradually realized what happened just now, and I finally broke free from the anxiety of losing my mind, endless embarrassment and supreme satisfaction rushed into my mind.I buried my head in my arms and pressed my face tightly against the table. I didn't know whether I was crying or laughing, but I didn't dare to look at him anyway.

Ji Ling's shyness seemed to be just a flash in the pan, and he had room to tease me again: "Huh? Xiaoyuan? What stimulated you before? I wanted to take it step by step."

...I was really stimulated.

But I don't want to tell him about it.

"Step by step, do you know that life is short?" Even if he grabbed my hand, I didn't want to raise my face, I just felt that I had lost all face in this life.

Ji Ling laughed.

【15】

Ji Ling said that he will formally visit Cangming Mountain when the younger brother comes back next time.

Ji Ling also lamented that besides being "the elder brother of the fourth disciple of Jinghong Peak", he could have other relationships with Cangming Mountain.

I didn't want to know what the "other relationship" was, so I just kicked him.

Ji Ling still has a lot to do.Contacting the old department of the Ji family, looking for the enemies who crusaded the Ji family back then... He didn't want to talk to me about these things, and I couldn't understand the deep hatred inherited by blood.

He successively went to Qingzhou, Overseas Xianzhou, the capital of Zhongzhou, and even went to the borderlands as far as the farthest.

He came back from the Borderlands and brought me bad news—the barbarians are about to gather to attack the royal family of Zhongzhou.

Originally, this had nothing to do with me who was far away on the fairy mountain by the East China Sea, but Ji Ling reminded me that the reason why the barbarians attacked Zhongzhou was that Princess Feng Yu refused to make a marriage, which insulted the dignity of the barbarians.

Princess Fengyu is the second senior sister Xu Zhiyan, and this happened many years ago.Everyone knew that this was just an excuse, but it didn't prevent everyone from pushing Princess Fengyu to the forefront and getting a bad name.

Second Senior Sister was not the only one who was scolded, there were also people in the dynasty who directly pointed out that Xianmen disregarded the royal dignity, openly shielded Princess Fengyu from resisting the decree, Xianmen also committed the crime of disrespect.

The barbarian invaded and blamed the princess for not being close, the royal family was cowardly and blamed Xianmen for protecting the princess, but what about Xianmen?

——It is well known that Cangming Mountain is the most powerful force in the Immortal Sect, and its status as a secluded cultivator is aloof, even if the royal family comes to the door.

But when I saw Master Cangming confronting Master at Jinghong Peak, I was suddenly shaken.

I don't know what the master of Cangming Mountain talked with Master, but it was the first time I saw the expression of "old age" on Master's face.

I was taken aback by myself.

I don't know how long Master has lived, but in my impression he looks young forever.But spring goes and autumn comes, people's age will always grow.

The junior brother is still practicing at the foot of the mountain.

The elder brother got the news faster than Ji Ling, and he left for Bailu the day before yesterday.

That's right, now that he is the Patriarch of the Bailu Qin family, if he wants to speak out for Second Senior Sister, he will be able to get rid of some infamy.

I asked Ji Ling, since the second senior sister left the division, has he ever heard of "Princess Fengyu" or "Xu Zhiyan from Cangming Mountain"?

Ji Ling shook his head.

No news is the best news, even Ji Ling doesn't know, it seems that Second Senior Sister has been stable all these years.

The master of Cangming Mountain approached Jinghong Peak several times, and finally the master simply created a barrier to cover the entire mountain.

I can no longer contact Ji Ling, I can only wait for the master to calm down.

But the next day, Master held the sword and went directly to the main peak of Cangming Mountain.

Master Mo and Qu Feng came to stop Master, but they didn't stop him.From their quarrel, I heard a news that shocked the world——as the head of the sect, Cangming Mountain expelled Xu Zhiyan, a disciple of Jinghong Peak, from the sect. So far, everything Princess Fengyu has done has nothing to do with Cangming Mountain.

I originally thought that the Immortal Gate escaped the world and would not be disturbed by the mortal world, so naturally I was not afraid of the infamy of the mortal world.

But not everyone seems to think so.

Master and Cangming Mountain Lord fought, and the result was that both sides suffered losses.

Only Master and I were left on Jinghong Peak, and the junior brother received the news and was still on his way back.

I shook my hands to wipe off the blood on Master's body. The blood was so deep and heavy that I didn't dare to use the purification mantra.

Master's face was pale, but he comforted me: "Don't cry, Xiaoyuan."

I didn't even know that I was crying, and I changed the medicine for Master in a daze, and watched him try to meditate and adjust his breath.

The master couldn't hold on to the enchantment that covered the mountain, and a layer of radiant enchantment covered his yard.

I returned to my room covered in blood, and didn't even have the strength to clean myself up for a moment.

Ji Ling came, looked at me worriedly, kissed my fingertips, and kissed my forehead.

I was like a wandering ghost gradually returning to my place, only to realize that this was the first kiss between us.

Obviously it should be something that makes me ecstatic, but I can only barely smile.

When the junior brother came back, Ji Ling was still on Jinghong Peak, but he chose to avoid it.

I don't think the younger brother is in the mood to recognize his relatives at the moment, because he went straight to the gate of the master's courtyard when he came back, and knelt on the ground.

He had a regretful expression on his face, it didn't look like the emotion caused by the second senior sister.But since he is here, there is no need for me to guard Master.

Ji Ling took me out through the gap in the barrier behind the mountain.

Zhongzhou has fallen into war, but the town at the foot of Cangming Mountain is protected by the immortal gate, so there is no worry of war, and the town is still peaceful and happy.

This day seems to be a festival, and the people in the city put on masks with strange patterns and colorful clothes, celebrating something happily.

Ji Ling told me that this is the day of Qianqiu, when mortals put on the costumes of the legendary gods and pray for a good harvest and a worry-free year.

I was dejected in my heart, thinking that there would be no long-term peace and worry, but I still had to put on a somewhat appropriate smile on my face.

Ji Ling and I transformed into clothes and masks similar to others, and walked to the market holding hands.

The world sang and laughed, shouted loudly, and made a lot of noise.

Ji Ling told me that even a cultivator needs some "popularity".

He said I used to be too lonely.

I disagreed and retorted to him that I have someone from the teacher's family who pampers me, but he smiled again and stopped talking.

I kind of hate his perfunctory.

He bought a skewered hawthorn from a nearby vendor and handed it to me, saying it was candied haws.

I became self-willed and told him that it was a hawthorn fruit.

He said, yes, it is hawthorn fruit.

It's boring without arguing.

But I don't know why I want to argue with him.I was indeed frustrated and angry, but I should never pour out these emotions to Ji Ling.

So I was even more depressed.

Ji Ling lifted my chin and looked at me through the mask.

"what happened?"

He sighed: "I really don't know how to make you happy."

"I do not have……"

I wanted to say that I wasn't unhappy, but the words got blocked.

Ji Ling kissed me.

Just as a firework exploded in the night sky, I felt like I exploded into a firework too.

【16】

Ji Ling and I sat on the roof of the tallest building in the city, enjoying the best position to watch the fireworks.

"In a better mood?"

My voice was dry: "Is this considered pleasure in bitterness?"

Ji Ling embraced me and let me lean on his shoulder: "Your senior brother comes from the Bailu family, and carries the fate of the family; your second senior sister is the daughter of the clan, and also bears the fate of the family; your fourth senior brother... you Just look at me. But you are different, Xiaoyuan, you are free. Even if you want to leave Cangming Mountain, no one can stop you."

"What do you want to say?"

"If I tell you that many things are destined for them, you can't intervene, and you don't need to feel sorry for them, will you be angry?"

I thought about it seriously, and said: "Since we are relatives and friends, how can we be indifferent?"

Ji Ling plucked my hair again, and said, "Children have a temper."

I suddenly got excited, grabbed his collar and kissed him brutally, and said viciously: "Would children do this?"

Ji Ling let out a muffled laugh, stared at me after a while, with deep eyes: "He said he wasn't a child, an adult's kiss is not like this..."

The voice of speech gradually faded away.Fireworks bloom around us.A firework is fleeting in the night sky, and another one rises immediately.The boundless night seems to be filled with gorgeous fireworks, and the momentary time seems to be suspended into endless length.

It was late at night, the tourists went home, and the fireworks were gone.

Ji Ling and I walked to the foot of Cangming Mountain, and I said, "I seem to be happier."

Ji Ling said: "I also hope that you will be worry-free every year."

I smiled, turned around and ran back along the trail behind the mountain.
