day alley

Ling Duan and Ding Yin didn't walk fast, but for two people who were used to traveling, their speed was not slow at all.After nearly four years, when Lingduan stood in front of the mountain gate again, he felt a little uneasy.He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly, after doing this three times, he opened his eyes.

Turning his head, Ling Duan met Ding Yin's curious eyes and smiled slightly, "[-] steps, let's go."

Facing the endless ladder with no end in sight, Ding Yin thought he heard it wrong, "Go up?"

"That's right." Ling Duan was already standing on the first stone step, "Going up step by step, this is a compulsory course for disciples of Tianyong City."

"I'm not a disciple of Tianyong City." Ding Yin was indignant. Although climbing the ladder was not difficult for him, it was really tiring.

An hour later, Ren finally climbed the ladder and entered Tianyong City.

"Second senior brother, you are back!" The two passing disciples greeted Ling Duan, and then cupped their hands to Ding Yin, "Hello, senior brother."

Ding Yin was stunned, and looked at Ling Duan, Ling Duan was busy saying hello to the juniors who came to say hello, but he was forced to accept that the disciples who came over called him senior brother.

Finally came to the sword stage, Ling Duan walked into the disciples holding the sword, "You, your wrist is useless, it's as soft as noodles." "And you, your wrist should be flexible, like a zombie, why, Does the sword want to eat people?" "And you, keep your feet firmly on your feet and go on a horseback."

"Second Senior Brother..."

"Second Senior Brother!"

A group of people surrounded Ling Duan in the center, chattering non-stop, and two of them hung directly on Ling Duan's arms, crying profusely.I don't know what Ling Duan said to them, but these two people jumped away, looking very sad, and then reluctantly called all the disciples to line up to practice swords again, and said loudly: " If you don't hurry up, those who are not serious will run around Tianyong City."

Ding Yin could tell that Ling Duan was very popular among his juniors.

After making a fuss for two sticks of incense, Ling Duan was able to escape.

"Ding Yin, let's go, follow me to see the master." Ling Duan came to the back of the stone pillar, pulled Ding Yin and went to Tianzhang Pavilion.

"Master, Master, the apprentice is back." Ling Duan shouted and stepped in.A book fell on him unexpectedly, Ling Duan felt aggrieved, "Master~"

"You still know how to come back!" Han Su pointed at the mausoleum, and scolded, "It's been four years, and you don't know how to come back, you white-eyed wolf, do you know how much you worry about being a teacher, and you don't know how much you come A few letters, take a look at Lingyue," Han Su pointed at Ding Yin, "At least I still know how to come back every few months... Wait, Lingduan, who is he? Why does he look so similar to Lingyue?" Han Su didn't realize that she seemed to have identified the wrong person until she looked at Ding Yin, but after a closer look, she still seemed to be.

Ling Duan laughed loudly, he stood beside Han Su, and looked at Ding Yin together with him, "It's almost the same, isn't it, Master."

Han Su nodded, "It's strange, there are such similar people in time."

Ding Yin seemed to understand something, he clasped his fists and said, "The boy Ding Yin pays homage to the real man."

So Ling Duan and Han Su briefly talked about the process of getting acquainted with Ding Yin and the experience of the past few years.Ling Duan was able to speak at first, and with the influence of a storyteller in the world, he is even more eloquent and eloquent at this moment. Han Su can't wait to go down the mountain to play.

Han Su, who knew her apprentice's temperament well, had no choice but to kick them out on the grounds that there were still unresolved educational affairs, otherwise Lingduan might still be able to talk for three days and three nights.

"Do you have a lot to ask?" Ling Duan led the way and walked towards Curling Qiuyue, "For example, my elder brother."

Ding Yin finally couldn't help it anymore, "I'm so similar to your elder brother?"

"Like, it's like looking in a mirror." Ling Duan nodded, "I was shocked when I saw your face clearly. But your personalities are completely different."

Just as he was talking, there was another "Second Senior Brother", with a delicate voice, as clear and clear as a yellow warbler out of the valley.

"Junior Sister Fuqu." Ling Duan waved to the smaller figure from far and near, followed by a young man.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them were already in front of them.

"Second Senior Brother, why are you getting along with Da..." Fu Que glanced at Ding Yin who was beside Ling Duan, and frowned, "You are not Senior Senior Brother!"

It was none other than Baili Tusu who was following Fu Que. When he saw the two of Lingduan from a distance, he knew that the person standing beside Lingduan would definitely not be the elder brother. When he got closer, he was still surprised by Ding Yin's appearance He fell asleep, but his wooden face was still very calm, saluted Ling Duan, and said coldly: "Second Senior Brother."

If you listen carefully, you will find that there is a slight tremor in his voice.

Ling Duan was entangled by Fu Que, so naturally he didn't hear it, and Ding Yin was already extraordinarily wary of strangers, and he caught this little trill, he only felt that this person was against Ling Duan with other disciples. Duan's attitudes were different, so he couldn't help but look a few more times.

And Tu Su naturally looked at Ding Yin a few more times.

"Come on, let me introduce you." Lingduan saw Ding Yin and Tu Su looking at each other, and immediately interjected with interest, "This is Ding Yin, a friend I met at the foot of the mountain."

"Oh, he is the friend you mentioned!" Fu Que turned around Ding Yin, "Senior brother Zhaolin said it, but you didn't say that he looks so much like senior brother."

Ling Duan touched his nose, can he say that he just wants to watch the excitement? "Ding Yin, this is my only junior sister, Fu Que. Ah, and this one, he is my junior brother, Baili Tusu."

The three of them greeted each other and they knew each other.

"Okay, don't be dazed, let's go to Curling Qiuyue first." Ling Duan and Ding Yin walked side by side, "Oh, I haven't been back for four years, and I don't know how dirty the room will be."

Although Tianyong City is full of clean air and there are very few dirt and dust, a place that has not been lived in for four years will inevitably give people a damp, cold and gloomy feeling.

Facts have proved that Ling Duan's idea is correct. His room has been vacant for too long. It is estimated that the cleaning disciples did not take care of it carefully, such as opening the windows for ventilation, but overall it is still clean.

The four of them opened the window together to let the sun shine in. Lingduan cast several dust-removing spells before sitting down with everyone.

Ding Yin has no old stories to tell about, and Tu Su is also a dull person, the two of them became depressed by coincidence, while Ling Duan patiently chatted with Fu Que in order to maintain his "Second Senior Brother" personality.

It wasn't until dinner time that Ling Duan had no choice but to persuade Fu Que and Tu Su to leave. As for whether Tu Su's hesitant expression was received by Ling Duan before leaving, only Ling Duan himself knew.

"My Curling Qiuyue still has two guest rooms, which I haven't cleaned even after thinking about it. It's all my fault, and I should have informed you in advance." Ling Duan smiled a little embarrassedly, "Just spend the night with me first. , tomorrow I will have the servants clean the guest room."

Ding Yin waved his hand indifferently, "What are you talking about, my friend, what's the point of chatting all night and sleeping on your feet. But," Ding Yin changed the subject, with a gloomy smile on his face, "Ling Duan Shouldn't you tell me the reason for concealing my resemblance to your elder brother?"

"Haha..." Ling Duan laughed awkwardly, "I'm just curious about your reaction after seeing each other. Today everyone said you look like each other, and some people didn't recognize it at all. Don't you think it's funny?"

Ding Yin snorted, "If it happened to someone else, I wouldn't mind seeing it for fun, but if it happened to me, do you think I can be happy?"

"Be careful." Ling Duan patted Ding Yin's shoulder, "Maybe you and senior brother are long-lost brothers."

"Impossible." Ding Yin firmly denied, "I have no relatives in this world."

Then, Ding Yin squinted his eyes and stared at Ling Duan, making Ling Duan's hair stand on end. He rubbed the back of his hands, "Hey, don't look at me like that, you always feel that nothing good is going to happen."

Ding Yin said in a deep voice: "The reason why you helped me so much is because I look like your elder brother?"

Lingduan had a vague feeling: Ding Yin could tear down Curling Qiuyue with just a nod.Of course, he didn't even think about nodding, "How could that be?"

Under Ding Yin's suspicious eyes, Ling Duan said: "You are two completely opposite people. Eldest senior brother is strict and rigid, self-restrained. Sometimes I wonder if he is considered a pre-set puppet, and you are not limited to Worldly, free and unrestrained, the two of you have nothing in common or even similarity except for your appearance. I help you only because of you, and you caused me a lot of trouble later on, shouldn't I help too?"

"What's more, he doesn't have a good relationship with me, so how could he help you because of his appearance?" Ling Yue, who relied on his own cultivation level, pushed the door open and entered.

"Brother," Ling Duan was a little surprised, after all, it was already time to rest, why did Ling Yue appear at this time, "Why are you here?"

Ling Yue put the Xiaohe sword on the table, and glanced at Ding Yin, "As soon as I returned to Lintian Pavilion, I heard that Tu Su said that you brought back a person very similar to me. I was really curious, so let's take a look." .” Then he said to Ding Yin, “Hi, I’m Lingyue.”

"Ding Yin."

"It's just like everyone said, it's really like twins." It's just that Ding Yin himself is a bit strange.Ling Yue thought so.

Ling Yue naturally didn't know that it was the effect of the red soul stone.Today, Ding Yin has long been integrated with the Red Soul Stone, but he is determined and has not been completely controlled by the Red Soul Stone. However, he has been affected by some influence, and he is no longer an existence that can be classified as a "good guy" in the eyes of the world.

Of course, this is nothing to Lingduan.After all, Ding Yin is not a person who kills people without batting an eyelid or harms creatures to practice evil skills. In fact, Lingduan's moral bottom line is relatively low. It is enough to be clear about right and wrong, otherwise Lingduan will not watch many martial arts people go off the rails Fascinated and indifferent.From some angles, Lingduan is somewhat similar to the current Ding Yin.

"I guess Ling Duan didn't tell you mainly because he wanted to see everyone surprised." Ling Yue shook his head helplessly, "He has been like this since he was a child. I thought it would be changed, but I didn't expect... well, Brother Ding laughed. .”

Hearing this, Ding Yin naturally believed a lot, "Sometimes Lingduan really makes people hard to explain. You don't know, he didn't want me to go back to Tianyong City with him. If I didn't ask you again and again, Ling Shaoxia and I would also I don’t know when and what month we will get to know each other.”

Ling Duan knocked on the table, "I said it's necessary? You don't have to speak ill of someone face to face." Ling Duan felt that two people who looked the same were together complaining about themselves, and it felt so sour.

In the next few days, Lingduan will naturally get in touch with his juniors and a junior sister.Listening to Zhaolin and Lingduan complaining that it is too troublesome and annoying to teach their disciples how to learn swordsmanship, listening to Fuqu complaining that he received few letters and giving few gifts, and listening to them talk about the details of their stay in Tianyong City for more than three years.

Tianyong City, which had always been silent, slowly regained its vitality, and many people's faces were filled with smiles. Even if they were reprimanded and punished by the second senior brother, they would be happy.

Ding Yin saw this change in his eyes. He felt that Tianyong City was like the snow lotus on the top of the mountain, independent and sacred, and the end of the mausoleum was the mischievous sunshine that reflected the colorful colors that could drive away loneliness. Xiaguang brings it boundless vitality that the world admires.

At the same time, Ding Yin also noticed that when those disciples who could fight with Lingduan wantonly saw Lingyue, they all acted like frightened quails trying to reduce their sense of existence, lest they would be targeted by Lingyue.

After practicing sword with his juniors, Ling Duan noticed that Ding Yin who was sitting on the stone steps seemed to be in a trance, so he sneaked around behind him and said loudly in his ear: "Hey, what are you thinking about?"

Ding Yin shook cooperatively, and said very calmly: "You scared me."

"Tch!" Ling Duan also sat down, "Please pay more attention." At the same time, he did not forget to stare at his junior brother, threatening with a smile, "Be careful, or practice more."

The juniors responded without any fear, but they still practiced very hard.

"I was thinking about Lingyue just now." Ding Yin deliberately paused, causing Lingduan to roll his eyes. "And you are like what people often say 'strict father and loving mother', and these disciples are like your children."

Ling Duan only felt that he was not well, "Do you dare to say it again?"

"Isn't it?" Ding Yin asked back, pointing at those disciples, "They are not afraid of you at all, it doesn't matter even if they practice more, it's just that they will be tired, and you will teach and practice according to their progress, from beginning to end They are the ones who benefit. And when Ling Yue reprimanded them, they didn't even dare to lift their heads, and they wouldn't bargain because they couldn't complete the punishment." Ding Yin stood up, "It's true that the senior brother is like a father, and the second senior brother is like a mother. ah."

"you……"

Ling Duan hit him with a spell, but was dodged by Ding Yin, who had been prepared for a long time. He walked in the air and floated far away. He didn't forget to add a sentence when he turned around, "I said it earlier, you can't beat me."

Ling Duan yelled with his arms akimbo: "If you have the ability, never let me catch you!!"

The voice fluttered on the sword platform for a long time.

Everyone was dumbfounded, and thought to themselves: Second Senior Brother looks so energetic.

"What are you looking at, you still don't practice swords?!" Ling Duan stood on a high place and looked down at all the juniors, "I will practice more today. If you don't practice enough, you are not allowed to have lunch. Zhaolin and Lingchuan, please keep an eye on them."

After issuing the order, Ling Duan left angrily.

"Damn Ding Yin, I'm so mad!" Ling Duan came to the back mountain and went straight into the dense forest to collect medicine, "Ding Yin, wait, I can't beat you, don't my master Ling Duan know other tricks? ? This time I must let you try my tricks!"

Ling Duan vented his anger with flowers and plants while thinking about it, as if he could really restrain Ding Yin.

After walking for more than an hour, Ling Duan, who had turned his anger into an appetite, felt a little hungry. He looked at his location and found that it was not too far from the lake, so he picked up some branches while walking, and prepared to use them to grill fish , After all, hunting is too troublesome, it is more convenient to catch fish from the lake.

Holding a small bundle of dry firewood, he walked to the edge of the lake, took off his shoes and socks and stood in the water.This location is quite remote, no one comes here all the year round, and the lake is cleaner. Looking at the mausoleum, there are many grass carp, not small in size, and they are very delicious.He licked his tongue, and thrust it down with a branch, and a fish that was circling around Ling Duan's feet was hit, and he flicked his tail in pain, "It's a merit for you to get into the belly of the uncle. You can have a good pregnancy in your next life."

Quickly scraping scales, cutting fish, and setting fire, Lingduan is full of energy. After all, the fish in this lake are much more delicious than the fish in the world.

The aroma of the meat slowly spread out under the roasting of the fire. Ling Duan took a deep breath, only to feel the aroma enter the lungs, and the saliva drools.

As he was turning the wooden stick, there was a sound of fluttering wings. Ling Duan raised his head and just saw an eagle landed on a branch not far away. Well... it looks familiar, a bit like Tu Su's five-flowered chicken, But it is much more healthy than streaky chicken.Ling Duan glanced at it, and then continued to focus on the grilled fish business. After all, for him, Ling Duan, eating is the biggest thing in the world.

The eagle tilted its head very humanely, seeing that Lingduan ignored him, it flew over and landed directly within two or three meters of Lingduan.

Ling Duan was taken aback, "You flat-haired bastard, you know nothing about life." Lifting up the fish in his hand, "Just one, not for you."

"Ash~"

Suddenly such a sentence came from the other end of the forest, and the fish in Ling Duan's hand almost fell into the fire in shock. He looked at the eagle again and thought: This is Ah Xiang's streaky chicken?How did you become like this?Where's your fat all over?

Just thinking about it, Ah Xiang also flew up and called out loudly, as if to say: Master, Ah Xiang is here.

"A Xiang, Ah..." Under the guidance of the stupid eagle, Tu Su got out of the woods, and naturally saw the mausoleum holding a fish and looking at A Xiang in a daze.

Seeing his master, Ah Xiang flapped his wings and landed on Tu Su's shoulder.

"Tu Su, what a coincidence, hehe." Ling Duan touched his nose unnaturally, "Grilled fish, do you want to go together?"

Hearing this, a trace of nostalgia flashed across Tu Su's wooden face, "Brother Ling Duan."

"What are you doing standing there, come here." Ling Duan shook the fish in his hand, "It will be grilled soon."

Tu Sum sat down on the opposite side of the mausoleum.In the past, he would always sit beside Ling Duan.

Ling Duan found that he had nothing to say. To avoid embarrassment, he stood up and handed the fish to Tu Su, then went into the lake again and inserted another fish.

Tu Su stared at the end of the mausoleum standing barefoot in the water, his clothes were wet by the splashing lake water.In the past, Lingduan would unceremoniously instruct him to catch fish.

"Tu Su, the fish is mushy!" When Ling Duan returned to the campfire in high spirits, Tu Su just lowered his head. The fish that was almost grilled was exuding a mushy aroma.

Hearing this, Tu Su immediately evacuated the fish from the campfire and checked it. Fortunately, it was still edible.He stretched out his hand, wanting to hand the fish to Lingduan.

Ling Duan waved his hand, you can eat first, and then put the newly processed fish on the fire.

Tusu answered in a low voice, carefully tore a piece of fish with his hands, and ate it slowly, ignoring Ah Xiang who was bouncing around.

"Why is Ah Xiang so thin?" Ling Duan asked, "At first, I didn't recognize him."

Because of this, no one will call it streaky chicken.Tu Su didn't speak, just shook his head, still eating the fish slowly, very slowly.

So slow that Ling Duan thought that the meat was too unpalatable, so Tu Su couldn't eat it...

"If it's too unpalatable, don't eat it." Ling Duan was about to take Tusu's grilled fish, "You child too, I'll eat whatever I give you."

Tu Su turned away from Ling Duan's arm, preventing him from taking the fish.

"Tu Su, what's wrong with you? Don't eat the fish paste." Ling Duan said and wanted to grab it.

Tu Su directly protected the fish in his arms without saying a word.

Ling Duan was annoyed, "What's wrong with you. This fish is almost ready, eat this."

Tu Su still lowered his head, and when he heard Ling Duan's words, he just shook his head.

Ling Duan became angry, and his tone was very bad, "If you want to eat fish, talk!"

"eat."

"Then eat quickly."

"Do not."

"..."

"You will leave after eating." Tu Su said aggrievedly, "I don't want you to leave."

"You..." The accumulated anger seemed to be pierced by something, Ling Duan touched the top of Tu Su's hair, "Fool, eat, Second Senior Brother won't leave."

"Really?"

"Really." Ling Duan took the fish off the fire and handed it to Tu Su, "Come on, give me that one."

Tu Su shook his head, "I'll eat this, you eat that."

"Not bad?"

"Not bad."

The two chatted while eating, and then Tu Su went to the lake to catch two fish and asked Ling Duan to roast them for him, and Ling Duan naturally complied.

"I haven't seen you go to the sword platform for the past few days. Is it because the elder brother didn't let you go?"

"No, I won't go by myself." Tu Su carefully looked at Ling Duan, "Brother Ling Duan, don't be angry."

"Why am I so angry, senior brother must be better at teaching than me."

"That's different."

"Aren't they all Tianyong City swordsmanship? What's the difference?"

"It's just different."

"Okay, okay, you say it's different, but it's different, okay." Ling Duan was very helpless.

Tu Su showed a small smile.
