"Junior sister has taken in an apprentice?"
"Xiao Bai has an apprentice?!"
"She changed sex?!"
After several peak owners chirped and discussed, Yu Jian flew to Shouxian Peak.
In the warm spring, Huai Bai squatted down, holding a bunch of candied haws in his hand, teasing a child sitting on a rock.
The child was extremely thin, with scars all over her face, but the most memorable thing was her eyes, which were gloomy and dark, unable to see the light.
Wen Jun frowned subconsciously, sensing the familiar blood in her body.
Ye Yunxin tilted her head, "What?"
Wen Jun: "It's nothing, I just think this kid is a little too gloomy."
Jing Yi echoed, "Yes, sorry to see you, with so many injuries on your face, God knows how much you have suffered."
Huai Bo didn't notice the few people coming, and still teased the child with candied haws: "Zai Zai, do you like this? It's delicious, sweet and sour, do you want to lick it? If you don't eat it, I'll finish it La."
It's a pity that no matter how she tried to seduce, the child didn't say a word, and his pale face was numb.
"Xiao Bai." Jing Yi called out.
Huai Bai turned around and greeted him with a smile, "Senior Sister, why are you here?"
Wenjun scolded: "You didn't tell us when you accepted the apprentice, but you have the nerve to ask us why we came?"
Huai Bo smiled wryly: "What apprentice, that child..."
As she spoke, she couldn't help sighing.
Several people glanced at Peiyu, and naturally sensed that something was wrong, "What's wrong?"
Huai Bo said: "It's like this when you bring it back." The wounds on the body are easy to heal, but the wounds on the heart take a long time and a lot of energy.
Jingyi looked at the candied haws in her hand: "Don't children like this?"
Huai Bai sighed helplessly: "It's useless. By the way, senior sister, what did you like when you were young?"
Jingyi snapped her fingers, "There are so many, candied haws, sugar cakes, digging out bird eggs, flying kites, and teaching those little ruffians a lesson!"
Looking at her flowery and delicate face, Huai Bo sighed, "You really can't judge by appearance."
Jing Yi raised her hand to punch her, but she dodged it deftly.
"Don't, don't," Huai Bai begged for mercy, "Senior sister's fists should be reserved for those cultivators who admire you. Senior sister Yunxin, how about you?"
Ye Yunxin was expressionless: "I didn't have a childhood, but when I was a seedling, I liked to look at the stars."
Can only look at the stars.
Huai Bo looked at Wen Jun: "Senior Sister?"
Wenjun thought for a moment, then smiled brightly, "I also like watching the stars."
Huai Bai raised his forehead, "Well, you are a perfect match."
She thought about it, the rugged terrain of the lonely mountain is not suitable for kite flying, and with the child's body, she can't take her to dig out bird eggs to beat the little ruffian.
In this world, without Ming Ying, a business prodigy, the small town at the foot of the lonely mountain is a bit deserted.
Huai Bo took the child's hand, walked past a small stall, stopped for a while, and said softly, "Do you like this?"
"What about this one?"
"Would you like to try this?"
But the child is still numb, as if he has lost his soul.
Huai Bo sighed, there was a steamed stuffed bun shop in front of him, the boss opened the lid of the pot, and hot white steam came out instantly.
She didn't hold out hope at all, and she glanced down, only to find that the child's eyes seemed to be a little brighter.
"Zai Zai, do you want to eat buns?"
The child didn't speak, and raised his head, smelling the fragrance in the air blankly.
Huai Bo bought a set of steamed buns of various flavors, and the table was full. The steamed stuffed buns were plump and fragrant.
The child pursed his lips, and with Huai Bo's constant encouragement, he finally carefully picked up a bun.
The moment she bit it, her tears fell, and the world seemed to be colorful again, and the smiling woman opposite was the light that took her out of the cold night.
There are no Jiazi in the mountains, and the year is unknown in the cold and heat.
Unknowingly, the child grows up gradually, his black hair grows longer, and his facial features bloom, just like a famous flower that has just matured, radiant and radiant.
And Huai Bai is still pursuing his illusory way among the spring flowers and autumn moon.
No one would really accuse her of being lazy, everyone doted on this little junior sister very much and never criticized her.
The years are quiet.
Huai Bai first realized that he cared too much about his apprentice when he heard that Pei Yu had killed the corpse king alone.
An inexplicable anxiety suddenly rose in her heart, and before she had time to react, she uncontrollably escaped several miles away with Yujian to find Peiyu.
That night the star river shook, and the moon shone on the river.
Huai Bo looked at the girl who was walking with the knife, his fingertips hidden under his sleeve trembled slightly—
How could she risk herself in such a way to get rid of the Nascent Soul Corpse King with the Golden Elixir
Huai Bai knew that her mind was very despicable. She was born into a famous family, loved by her teachers, and she was always taught to pity the weak and love the common people.
She thought so herself.
But when facing Peiyu, these words were stuck in her throat. She patted the girl on the shoulder, "If you can't win, run away. Although running away is shameful, it is effective!"
Afterwards, Peiyu was still traveling in the world, Huaibai returned to Gushan, and heard that his apprentice killed demons again and again, and gradually became famous.
She sat on Yanhui Cliff, looked up at the bright moon, and took a sip of bitter wine.
The mountain wind is bitter, and the blue clothes are flying.
"Junior Sister," Wen Jun sat down beside her, "why is one depressed?"
Huai Bai bit his lip, "It's nothing."
Wen Jun observed carefully, "Don't lie to me, don't I know you yet? It's because of your apprentice."
Huai Bai took a sip of his wine, and said in a muffled voice, "Well, as a master, wouldn't it be nice to see his apprentice getting better?"
Wenjun smiled and said, "Naturally."
Huai Bo was silent for a while, "But I'm not happy at all. I'm afraid that she will get hurt, that she won't be able to take care of herself, and that she will be bullied."
I was also afraid that Peiyu would fly too high and I couldn't reach it.
Is this the emotion a competent master should have
Wenjun comforted her: "It's human nature. When we first started learning how to control the sword, didn't the master always worry that we would fall and fall? But apprentices have to grow up anyway. When you know Peiyu You can rest assured of your strength."
Huai Bai thought to himself, no, even if Peiyu reaches the top of Immortal Path, she won't feel at ease.
"Senior sister, I want to practice hard."
Wenjun was surprised: "Huh? My Xiaobai has taken care of me?"
Huai Bo slowly said: "I'm always worried about her, but I'm not strong enough. I want to protect her, but I'm afraid that I will hold her back in the future..."
Wenjun laughed angrily, "You simply have an apprentice and forgot your senior sister, and you have been raising you for nothing for so many years."
Huai Bo tugged at her sleeves, begging for mercy, "Good senior sister, you are so powerful, of course you don't need my protection, but Peiyu," she paused, "She can't do without me."
After Peiyu completed her experience and returned to Gushan, Huai Bai specially prepared a celebration banquet for her.
There are only two people at the banquet. But they have long been used to only each other in life.
The tall buildings are hundreds of feet, and the rain is dripping at night.
Huai Bai leaned on the railing, with his belt in the wind, held up his wine, "Congratulations, my jade is famous all over the world!"
When she heard "My Peiyu", the girl in white had a faint pink on her cheeks, as if she had applied a layer of rouge.
Huai Bai persuaded him to drink, "You drink too, let's have a good time today."
Peiyu didn't drink well at that time, and after a few sips obediently, her eyes began to blur.
The powder surface is full of clouds, and the color is unparalleled.
Looking at her, Huai Bo felt that the apprentice was getting more and more attractive, so he couldn't help raising his hand to caress her face.
This is an ordinary act of intimacy in the relationship between their master and apprentice.
But at this time, Peiyu tilted her head, rubbed Huai Bai's palm, and murmured in a low voice: "I like Master the most."
Huai Bai's whole body was shaken, his heart was beating violently like a drum, and his hand seemed to be scalded, and he yanked back violently.
Peiyu was half-drunk, and suddenly became daring, stretched out her arms to embrace the person Xiao had wanted for a long time, and leaned into her arms, "I really like Master. I want to..."
Huai Bo pushed her away, his heart suddenly flustered, before Pei Yu could say anything, he turned and fled into the night rain.
How could this child have such thoughts
She stood in the rain, letting the cold rain wet her body, and gradually calmed down.
The rain dripped on the stone slabs.
The wet clothes stuck to his body, which made him a little uncomfortable, but Huai Bo had no time to pay attention to these trivial things, and his mind was in chaos.
After being stunned, she felt inexplicable joy—they were both masters and apprentices, and they were both women, why did Peiyu like herself.
But after thinking about it again, they were the closest people. They have lived together for so many years, and no one has a tacit understanding and cares more about each other than them.
It seems reasonable to love each other for a long time.
Huai Bo clutched his chest, only to feel that the heart inside was beating again.
When Huaibai returned to the small building, Peiyu was no longer there. She waited until dawn, worried that her apprentice would be sad, and when she went down the mountain to look for it, she happened to bump into a young girl walking up the mountain path.
"Peiyu!"
Peiyu looked at her with an expressionless face and cold eyes.
Huai Bai's heart sank, and he thought, isn't it the pursuit of failure, it is necessary to do so. She took a deep breath, blushed and said, "I've thought about what you said last night for a long time, but actually..."
Peiyu interrupted her, "I forgot."
Huai Bai's face was snow-white, and he frowned, "What?"
There was no emotion in Peiyu's eyes, and she repeated mechanically, "I forgot, Master."
Huai Bo stared blankly at the girl going away, his heart throbbing with pain.
But she didn't know that the one who came back at this time was no longer the apprentice she had put on top of her heart.
Wuhua was stolen, and the catastrophe came in an instant, and everyone was caught off guard.
Dark clouds poured in, the sky was dark, and the Thunder Snake wandered away in the clouds. Under the might of the sky, no one could escape.
The disciples shouted in panic: "What's going on? What happened? Why did this happen?"
Ning Xiao glanced at Huai Bai, there was no blame in his eyes, only deep sorrow.
He flew into the air and covered the top of the six peaks with his whole body cultivation base, while the disciples of the outer peaks were struggling in the sky fire, screaming, and their bones were everywhere.
In an instant, the fairyland becomes a purgatory on earth.
Huaibai knelt down on the ground, tears streaming down his face, in front of Tianwei, they were as insignificant as ants.
Thunder came with a bang.
She spat out a mouthful of blood, stumbled and wanted to go out of the mountain, but another thunderbolt struck her, half of her body was turned into bones.
She fell to the ground and supported the ground with her only good elbow, trying to climb out of the lonely mountain.
But thunder bursts, electric snakes are like a net, and under the might of the sky, how can she, a monk who has just arrived at the Golden Core, escape
Waiper didn't want to live.
She was just thinking that her Peiyu was still outside.
Wuhua was stolen, she had never doubted Peiyu, until now, she was thinking about what to do with her Peiyu.
Her only apprentice, the treasure she holds in the palm of her hand.
If Peiyu knew that she was dead, how should she be sad? Her apprentice has such a soft heart and such a kind person.
Huai Bai's elbow has been worn out, exposing thick bones, his blue shirt is torn, dripping with blood, and he cannot distinguish the shape of a human being.
Her face was mottled with blood and tears, her facial features were distorted, the left half of her face was scorched black by the sky fire, and her picturesque eyebrows were bloody and fleshy, not the same as before.
The sky is blazing.
Huai Bai was tormented by the sea of fire and exhausted all his strength to climb down the mountain.
Every inch of her skin was turned to ashes, she didn't care about it, her face was hideous like a ghost, she didn't seem to notice it.
Just tossing and turning, thinking about her Peiyu, what should I do in the future
The girl who said she would pick stars for her, the girl who just smiled at her, the girl who said she likes Shizun the most... what should I do
She is the light of Peiyu.
In this world, no one loves that child except her. If she dies here, the child will be alone forever.
Huai Bai's consciousness gradually blurred, and the moment before the ashes disappeared, she remembered that night rain in Xiaoxiang, the girl was drunk and leaned in her arms, her face was crimson, her clothes were half untied, her body was soft and fragrant.
The child hugged her neck, and the water in his eyes was shining, as if hiding the stars in the sky. She looked at herself obsessively, and said, "I really like Shizun so much, and I want to spend the rest of my life with Shizun."
Huaibai thought, if there is an afterlife, she must protect Peiyu, Gushan, and all the precious things.
No more hesitation and timidity.
She died in the catastrophe.
But she was indeed extremely talented, and a ray of remnant soul broke through the shackles of heaven and escaped.
The remnant soul is naturally ignorant, just following the instinct before death, drifting in the direction of Peiyu.
When she was wandering in the world, she heard many rumors—
It turned out that Suihan became the number one person in Xianmen and established Tiandaozong.
Everyone in the world says that Suihan Xianzun is full of light, wind and moon, and white jade is flawless.
As for the lonely mountain that once flourished for a while, it was blocked by life and death, and covered with frost forever, no one mentioned it again.
Four hundred years later, on a stormy night, the Gorefiend crawled out of the Ten Thousand Devils' Cave, his face changed beyond recognition, and bloodbathed Tiandaozong.
That wimpy remnant soul followed far behind the blood demon, but couldn't get close because of the demonic energy.
And the eyes blinded by hatred could not find a soul that was so damaged that it was almost dissipated.
Until the big demon was robbed and the devil energy was removed from his body, the last thunder roared.
The obviously unconscious soul rushed in, instinctively protecting her apprentice.
Then, the soul flies away.
…
In a different world, a girl sits in front of a computer, flipping through the heartbroken abuse from everyone, while chatting with her friends—
"Why do you write such a newspaper article?"
"Bad people live a long life, and good people don't die well. Isn't this the way this world is?"
"I'm not extreme, it's just that I'm always having a dream... Forget it, you don't understand even if I tell you."
…
The fireflies spread out like a galaxy, and the water surface darkened again.
The lotus is still graceful, the flowers and leaves are densely stacked, the breeze is blowing, and the bright moon is lingering.
Huai Bai had already burst into tears, and she finally remembered the wastage and misses of these two lives.
It's no wonder she wrote down that story, it wasn't made up to be disgusting, but a painful memory that remained in her mind.
It was a real tragedy that happened.
I see.
If Mingluan hadn't used the reincarnation mirror to go against the sky, maybe she would have just regarded this as a nightmare, a ridiculous story.
Maybe she is living alone in another world like that, occasionally dreaming back in the middle of the night, looking at the pillow towel wet with tears, it's just vain.
It turned out that this world was her hometown.
And what she thought was destined was just a reunion after a long absence after blood and tears.
Unknowingly, the bright moon is sinking to the west, and the sky is gradually getting brighter.
With heavy steps, Huai Bo walked out of the lotus pond slowly, turned a corner, and under the peach blossoms beside the stream, three handsome young men were chatting.
The sun is shining, the stream is sparkling, and the peach blossoms are falling.
They seemed to have sensed it, and turned to look at Huai Bai, and when they saw the white hair on her temples, their eyes flashed with sadness.
As soon as Zhao Jian took a step forward, he smiled and reached out to her, "Xiaobai, we are back."
Mingying's eyes turned red, "I'll keep you waiting."
Rong Jibai: "For so many years... You have worked hard, and we will be with you from now on."
