Heavenly practice

"With Senior Brother Xue here, Senior Brother Jiuyuan doesn't have to worry." Shen Zhuo said.

As soon as he said this, the smile on Jiu Yuan's face dimmed a bit, "That's right, with Senior Brother Xue here, how can I be used?"

Shen Zhuo pretended not to see his dejected look, and said to himself, "Actually, I don't care much about the Qinglin Grand Meeting. It's just that I can go down the mountain and meet my old friends."

"Old man?"

Jiu Yuan's eyes showed surprise, "But I heard that there is no one in Brother Shen's house?"

"No, there is a loving mother in the family, and there is a fiancée in the family."

"Not...fiancee?!"

In the silent night, Jiuyuan's voice broke the silence, he stared at Shen Zhuo in shock, "Do you have a fiancee?"

"Senior brother, you are joking. I am fourteen in my twenties this year, so I am already married." Shen Zhuo replied with a smile.

"Can……"

Jiu Yuan's face turned red, he stammered and didn't know what to say.

Seeing that the effect had been achieved, Shen Zhuo wanted to leave, but unexpectedly the young man stopped him.

"Your fiancée... is a mortal, right?" the young man stammered out these words.

Shen Zhuo was stunned for a moment before he understood what he meant, but he didn't answer right away, but stared fixedly at the young man in front of him.

Standing under the moonlight, the boy blushed even more when he saw him, and finally lowered his head in shame, "I..."

"What about mortals, what about monks?"

"..."

The young man lowered his head and did not speak, Shen Zhuo asked a question that he had been wondering, whether it was Long Xiang or Jiu Yuan...

"what do you like about me?"

"At first I was attracted by your face..."

Shen Zhuo looked calm, and said in his heart that he was really honest.

"But later I felt that you were very...very..."

Jiu Yuan's expression was a little excited, but he didn't know how to describe it, "It's a great feeling!"

"..."

Shen Zhuo silently slapped himself in the heart, making you pretend that something happened.

However, he just replied calmly, "Five spirit roots, early stage of Qi refining."

"It has nothing to do with this, you give me the feeling that you are very powerful, as if you can solve everything, as long as you are there, I feel at ease, just like the demon king appeared that day..."

Jiu Yuan gradually relaxed, and said with a smile, "You may be really powerful, or maybe it was just a coincidence, but you stood up that day and protected the entire Zhentianmen behind you, Shen Zhuo, you are very kind."

"..."

Shen Zhuo lowered his eyes and said nothing, and after a while he lowered his head and poked the yawning Chunhu in his arms, "Son, some people say I'm kind."

Chunhu doesn't know what is kind and what is not, so he fell asleep hugging his fingers.

Shen Zhuo couldn't help smiling, and looked up at Jiu Yuan.

"Senior brother loves me so much, Shen Zhuo can't afford it. I already have someone I like and I won't let him down in this life. He lives me, he dies...I won't let him die either."

"..."

After finishing speaking, he ignored the young man's astonished gaze, turned around and waved away, only to see the person standing behind him as soon as he turned around.

"Longxiang?"

Shen Zhuo was very surprised, "Why are you here?"

"I saw that your window was open, so I took a look, and found that you were not there, so I went out to look for it."

Long Xiang glanced past him at Jiu Yuan not far away, "Are you looking for him?"

"No, I can't sleep and take a walk, it's just a chance encounter."

Shen Zhuo turned his head and nodded to Jiu Yuan, and then left with Chunhu in his arms, Long Xiang glanced at Jiu Yuan, his eyes were slightly cold, and he left without saying hello.

The autumn night was cold, Shen Zhuo couldn't help shivering, and the next moment a coat was draped over him.

"You are not in good health, you should blow less cool wind." Long Xiang said.

Shen Zhuo smiled, "I used to be in good health."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere became more dignified.

Long Xiang's eyes darkened, "I asked my senior brother today, and he said that he was not sure whether the treasure at the Qinglin Festival could cure your illness, because...he didn't even know what illness you had."

"..."

Shen Zhuo suddenly stopped, and Long Xiang looked back at him.

The two looked at each other for a long time, Shen Zhuo smiled, "Since you want to know, then I will tell you."

Long Xiang's eyes widened slightly, he couldn't believe it.

"I am not actually from the Asahi clan, but I am closely related to them. As for my disease..."

Shen Zhuo looked at the stars and the bright moon above his head, and asked, "Do you know Shenyuan?"

Shenyuan?

Long Xiang was startled, then shook his head, "I don't know."

"Actually, this divine essence is similar to your dantian qi sea. My family cultivates divine essence, and my divine essence is less than half..."

"Why?"

Long Xiang was shocked in his heart, he couldn't imagine what it would be like to lose half of his Dantian Consciousness Sea, so he should surely die.

"do not know."

Shen Zhuo shook his head, with helplessness on his face, "If I knew that I would have figured out a way to solve it, why would I end up in this weak state?"

After pondering for a moment, Long Xiang asked, "You want me to ascend to immortality because of this?"

"Well, by then you should be able to help me find the half of the divine essence."

"Yes, definitely."

Long Xiang looked at him fixedly, "I swear to Heaven."

Shen Zhuo still didn't feel anything, but he nodded and said with a smile, "Then I thank you in advance."

Long Xiang looked at him for a moment, then suddenly reached out and hugged him.

Shen Zhuo was taken aback, and when he was about to push him away, he heard a low voice in his ear.

"How long?"

"do not know."

"...Are you going to die?"

"do not know."

Long Xiang hugged him tightly, whispered, "I like you, do you know?"

"..."

Shen Zhuo didn't speak now, but he felt a little touched in his heart, at least the child really cared about him, so he patted him on the back and said sincerely, "Thank you."

Then gently pushed him away, continued to walk forward and said, "The treasure of the leader of the Qinglin Grand Meeting was taken out by the Xuantong faction. I have already asked Bai Ruying, and the treasure may not be useless to me."

Surprise flashed across Long Xiang's eyes, and then he asked casually, "Are you familiar with her?"

"Ah."

Shen Zhuo made no secret of his praise for this role, "She is worthy of your friendship."

Unexpectedly, Long Xiang's eyes lit up, "You went to befriend her because of me?"

Shen Zhuo laughed, "You think beautifully, I admire her, she is the only two women I have ever seen with a good temperament."

"The only one?"

Long Xiang's expression was subtle, "The other one can't be Xuanyu, can it?"

"..."

Shen Zhuo rolled his eyes at him, "I'm not blind."

Long Xiang lowered his head and smiled, "Who is that?"

"Do you still remember the woman in white who split the ground with a sword in Jinyang City?"

"..."

Long Xiang's face was serious, "I don't remember."

"..."

Shen Zhuo also thought of something, and immediately coughed fakely, "Don't listen to Xuanyu's nonsense, I am not a feudal old patriarch, and I will not interfere with the marriage of the younger generation casually."

Long Xiang glanced at him, and said coolly, "You really think of yourself as my uncle, don't you?"

"Isn't it?" Shen Zhuo looked at him with a shocked and sad look.

"..."

Long Xiang looked at him blankly for a while, then suddenly laughed.

Shen Zhuo also laughed, "Will I bring you to meet your aunt someday?"

"..."

Long Xiang's smile disappeared after a swipe, and he squinted at him, "If I didn't like you, I'm afraid I would have beaten you up."

Shen Zhuo raised his eyebrows, very proud.

Seeing his mood, Long Xiang couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

"me too."

"Ok?"

"Whether it's a mortal or a monk, you live and I live, you die... I won't let you die."

"..."

Shen Zhuo's eyes were still on the stars above his head, his smile faded after hearing these words, and he murmured as if sighing, "It would be nice if I like you."

The smile in Long Xiang's eyes instantly froze in his eyes.

In the water mirror the size of a square inch, Shen Zhuo looked up at the stars, with a touch of sentimentality in his eyes.

"It's not bad if I like you."

This light sentence echoed in the small wooden house like a bell ringing.

The young man in black with loose long hair quietly watched the young man in the water mirror say these words, and then his mind moved, and the water mirror disappeared, but he still looked at the void without any waves.
