【Xiaoyao Zong* Outlook on Life】
After Tantai Jin completed the Xiaoyao Jing test that year, the ability of the four senior brothers Hai Shulinfeng was no longer enough to teach him, so Zhaoyou taught Tantai Jin himself.
"Can you play chess?"
Tantai Jin shook his head: "No."
"Come and sit and teach you."
Tantai Jin sat down in front of Zhaoyou.
Zhao You said: "Chessing is like life, and watching chess is impressive."
Xianzun Zhaoyou explained the rules of chess to Tantai Jin in detail. The master and the apprentice played against each other, with Zhaoyou holding the white piece and Tantai Jin holding the black piece.
The young man's fingertips were pale and cold, and the jade-like black chess pieces were very beautiful in his slender fingers.
Tantai Jhin is very smart, almost Zhaoyou said it once, and he can draw inferences from other facts.
After a while, Tantai Jhin lost.
He pursed his lips, and his obsidian-like eyes ignited with interest: "Come again."
Zhaoyou played another game with him, looking at the chess face, Zhaoyou sighed in his heart.
Watching chess and knowing his heart, the young man fell chess and killed Yin ruthlessly. He did not take the life of the pawns as his life, and had no compassion. Those chess pieces were sacrificed in pieces at his fingertips, but in the eyes of the young man, he could only see victory.
- Unscrupulous, Zhaoyou thought of the word.
"Jiumin, go to the library in the evening, look for the book in the second row, the third row, the eighth blue book cover, and memorize it to my teacher tomorrow."
Although Tantai Jin was puzzled, to him, Zhaoyou was obviously more capable than Zanghai and the others. He didn't respect Zhaoyou in his heart, and he lowered his eyes and said, "Okay."
According to Zhaoyou's words, Tantai Jin pulled out the book that he wanted to memorize.
The blue book cover looks a few years old and is called Enlightenment.
Seeing this name, Tantai Jin frowned.
When he opened it, there were apparently tender notes of children on it. Tantai Jin carried the book and asked the senior brother of the library to register.
The senior brother was very surprised: "Junior brother Jiumin why did he read the children's enlightenment book?"
"Master told me." Tantai Jin asked, "Senior brother, is this a children's enlightenment book?"
The senior brother smiled and said, "This is a book for children under the age of ten in the sect."
"… understood."
In the evening, Tantai Jin opened the book, and the first page was about love.
He stared at the word for a while, then turned blankly to the second page, "Good."
He turned it again, it was "loyalty".
Tantai Jhin read it again and memorized the whole book. Second Japan thought Zhaoyou was going to test him, but he didn't.
"You come with the teacher, and the teacher has a task for you."
Tantai Jin went to Xiaoyao Sect to take on a mission for the first time. He thought it was to slay demons and conquer demons, but Zhaoyou didn't expect Zhaoyou to take him to a dilapidated alley in the world.
In the blizzard, stood an old woman with a cane.
"Have you seen her? After her son went to war, she stood here every day waiting for fifteen years, but she didn't know that her son had died on the battlefield. Tomorrow is her final day, You become her son, she has one wish."
"Master." Tantai Jin frowned.
"Jiumin, let's go." Zhaoyou flicked his hand, and Tantai Jin changed.
Tantai Jin stood in the snow for a while, then walked towards the old woman.
With those dull, cloudy eyes, with a dead air, the old lady was like a piece of rotten wood, wrapped tightly in a ragged jacket, and snow fell on her white hair.
The moment she saw Tantai Jin, her emotionless eyes slowly filled with tears.
With a trembling voice, he said, "Zhi'er, is it my mother's Zhi'er?"
Those thin hands, like old tree bark, stroked Tantai Jin's face.
Tantai Jin was silent. He didn't have a mother, and he didn't know how people got along with his mother. He was not Li Zhi, and he couldn't imitate Li Zhi.
The old woman was delighted to welcome him into the house, and babbled a lot.
"Look, Zhier, this is the clothes your mother has made for you over the years. Try it to see if it fits."
Several sets of clothes, from summer to winter, have fine stitches.
Tantai Jhin looked at the new clothes under his palm, and then at the thin old patched clothes on the old woman's body: "Well, it fits."
That night, he ate dinner with a strange old woman.
It was snowing outside, and the room was lit like beans, filled with the aroma of chicken soup. The chicken was very soft and glutinous. The old woman was talking about how Li Zhi was when he was a child.
Li Zhi's room was very clean. It was cleaned all the year round. The bedding was thin but very dry.
Tantai Jhin rested on his arm and did not fall asleep.
When it was almost dawn, Tantai Jin sensed something and pushed open the old woman's door.
She is dead.
Died in this winter snowstorm, surrounded by several sets of Li Zhi's clothes neatly folded, with blue hands and feet, and a peaceful expression on his face.
Tantai Jhin watched for a while, then closed the door and passed the courtyard.
There are chicken feathers buried in the snow, which is the chicken that the old woman lives on. Just last night, she used it to make up her "son".
The old woman waited for fifteen years, and she was very happy when she died.
Zhaoyou appeared and said to Tantai Jin, "Let's go."
Xiaoyuan closed the door in the snowstorm. Within a year, Zhaoyou did not teach Tantai Jhin too much immortal art, but took him to travel from time to time.
Sometimes he was made a general, and the captain died in the siege in order to protect him.
In fact, as long as the captain of the school is willing to let go, not only will he not die, but he will also be able to earn a high-ranking official and rich salary, and his wife and young children will not be helpless in this life.
However, the captain put on Tantai Jin's cape and resolutely said: "General, go quickly, this life is precious!"
In Tantai Jhin's eyes, the morning glow filled the sky, and the young soldier in his own clothes and armor fell under the arrows in the sky.
Another time Zhaoyou asked him to be a seven- or eight-year-old child. The child's beggar brother stole someone else's steamed buns and was beaten all over.
"Brother Wen, you can eat, brother is not hungry after eating outside."
Tantai Jhin turned into a thin child, sitting in front of the ruined temple, watching the pouring rain outside.
He lowered his head and took a bite, the steamed bun in his mouth was cold and hard, and the boy of eight or nine years old next to him swallowed, trying not to look at the steamed bun, fell on the straw, and said in an optimistic voice, "Brother passed by the school today and saw those The young masters are all going to the school, and when brother Wen gets older, brother also sends brother Wen to study, and after studying, he can take the championship exam, and then brother Wen will never be hungry again, and he will have big chicken legs to eat every day.”
Tantai Jin chewed the steamed bun in his mouth and asked, "What about you?"
The boy said, "Me, brother Wen will find me an errand to do when the time comes."
Tantai Jhin did not speak, the rain stopped the next day, and the boy who was curled up was woken up by hunger.
"Brother Wen? Brother Wen?"
There was no one around, only an exquisite wooden box was left. The boy opened the wooden box and found a roast chicken inside.
Tantai Jin did not hold an umbrella, and the rain did not stain his black robes.
Zhaoyou raised her eyes and said with a smile, "I'm back."
"Yes, Master."
Zhaoyou still didn't ask anything, and Tantai Jin still didn't say anything.
After a long time, Zang Hai asked about this matter: "Little Junior Brother, when Master always took you to practice, what have you learned?"
Several brothers and sisters probed their brains and came over, obviously very curious.
When they practiced back then, they learned how to subdue demons and how to break water. As genius junior brothers, will they learn something different from them
What did you learn
Think of the old woman in the snowstorm, the young captain who died for loyalty, the little beggar who was beaten for stealing the buns...
A face flashed before his eyes.
After a long silence, Tantai Jin said coldly, "The world is stupid."
Sea Forest Wind: "… "
【Xiao Yaozong *Love a person】
Tantai Jhin remembered that in the second year he went to Xiaoyao Sect, the third senior brother Zanglin had a sweetheart.
It was a female disciple newly recruited by the uncle of Xiaohuofeng, called Nie Shui.
Zang Lin talked to the brothers and sisters every day about how beautiful, smart, and understanding Nie Shui was.
Tantai Jhin had seen the woman once, wearing the Qingyi of the Xiaoyao Sect, with tassels woven by herself on her belt, her eyes were hooked inward, slightly upturned, and she always spoke with a bit of a smile.
Xiaojiabiyu's appearance has a sweet mouth.
When he saw Tantai Jhin for the first time, Nie Shui's eyes were straight for a moment, and he leaned over with a smile.
The corners of Tantai Jin's mouth twitched, and he looked at her mockingly.
In a low voice, "Junior Sister Nie, my third senior brother is watching you from behind."
"What!" Nie Shui was startled, looked back, and found that there was no one behind him. Looking at Tantai Jhin again, Nie Shui was a little embarrassed and withdrew his hand in embarrassment.
Such a person has hooked Zang Lin to three souls and lost two souls. The spirit stone of Xiaoyao Sect requires disciples to go out to subdue demons, or to hunt demonic beasts.
Zang Lin returned every ninth death and his injuries were not yet healed, so he gave Nie Shui the spiritual tool he bought.
Sometimes it is a jade bracelet for body protection, and sometimes it is a hairpin.
Zang Hai and Zang Shu Zang Feng couldn't stand it anymore, so they persuaded: "Zang Lin, we all know that you like Nie Shui, but Nie Shui accepted your favor and never returned the gift, and also wanted to become a Taoist partner with you. I don’t think Junior Sister Nie is as good as you say.”
Zang Lin shook his head: "Senior brother, why do you say that Junior Sister Nie, these things are not what Junior Sister Nie asked me to ask for, her spiritual power is low, so I just gave her something to protect her body."
When Zang Lin left, Zang Feng said, "Junior Brother Jiumin, please persuade Senior Brother Zanglin."
Tantai Jin raised his narrow eyes and said, "Don't do useless work."
One night in midsummer, Tantai Jin was lying on the top of a tree when he met Nie Shui and a disciple of the Hehuan Sect having an affair.
The man from the Hehuan Sect was born with red lips and white teeth, handsome and handsome, and Nie Shui clings to him, babbling and wailing.
The waterfall washed over, and Nie Pingri's shyness was completely lost.
"What did that fool give you?"
Nie Shui said with a smile, "A hundred years of spirits."
The Hehuan Sect man raised his eyebrows: "This is a good thing to wash the marrow."
"How can my brother take me to double cultivation? That guy is just a piece of wood. What he says is affectionate, only polite, and he insists that people become a Taoist partner with him."
Tantai Jin watched indifferently for a while, then lay back on the top of the tree.
His heart was cold, and he didn't want to meddle in such nostalgia. For Tantai Jin, resurrecting Ye Xiwu was a big deal.
Zang Lin himself was blind, and if he fell in love with such a person, he should pay the price for his stupidity.
At that time, the requiem lamp had not yet appeared in the world. Tantai Jin often went to the Xianwai cave to find the soul-inducing grass. The soul-inducing grass collected thousands of plants, which could be worth the effect of the requiem lamp once.
Returning from the Xianwai Cave, Tantai Jin met Zangfeng who was anxious: "Little Junior Brother, you came back just in time, something happened to Third Senior Brother."
Tantai Jin followed him and found that Zang Lin was lying on the collapse, his face was blue and purple, and there were two huge poisonous snake teeth marks on his ankles.
"How could it be a Chi-Lian Yao?"
Chi Lian is a big monster, and he is also highly poisonous. The brothers and sisters all looked ugly and helped Zang Lin to remove the poison. Finally, Zhao You rushed over and stabilized Zang Lin's body.
In his arms, everyone saw a pair of well-protected earrings.
Zang Hai angrily patted the gourd on the waist, clenched his fist and said, "It's because of Junior Sister Nie again."
Zang Shu sighed: "Silly boy, if this continues, sooner or later, Nie Shui will die."
Tantai Jin leaned against the door lightly, and it was none of his business.
Zang Feng said, "Hey, what is this?"
Zang Hai picked it up and said, "It's a few soul-inducing grasses."
"What does Zanglin want this thing to do?"
Tantai Jhin paused, looked up, and in Zang Hai's hands, there were a few soul-inducing grasses with a faint blue luster.
Zang Lin's hearty laughter from the past seemed to be heard in his ears: "Although the younger brother refuses to say what to do with the soul-seeking grass, when the third brother sees it in the future, he will definitely help the younger brother to collect it."
Tantai Jin walked over, took the soul-inducing grass, and suddenly walked out without saying a word.
"Little Junior Brother, what are you going to do?"
Tantai Jhin Yujian went out of Xiaoyao Xianshan and found the red-trained snake demon after looking for the smell.
He cut his fingers and made a fuss.
Chi Lianben was practicing, and was scalded by the terrifying evil spirit in the blood, and rolled out with a shrill sound.
Tantai Jhin didn't plan to kill him. Chi Lian Snake Monster saw the lines on Tantai Jhin's clothes, and Chi Lian asked in surprise, "Who are you to avenge your fellow sect?"
The boy curled his lips: "No, I'm here to ask for your help."
Legend has it that Chi Lian can be both male and female, and that both men and women are charming and affectionate.
If you don't help, you will die.
Chi Lian looked at the young man with a cold smile in front of him, and nodded again and again: "Help, I will do whatever you say."
Before the winter of Xiaoyao Xianshan came, a big event happened in the sect. Little Hump's Nie Shui and the Chi Lian snake demon were found to be fornicating.
What's more, Nie Shui stole the spiritual pill from the sect and gave it to Chi Lian. When he was discovered, Nie Shui already had Chi Lian's flesh and blood in his stomach.
The entire sect was a sensation, and if Nie Shui wanted to survive, he had to remove the immortal marrow and walk through the Spirit Slaying Ladder.
Nie Shui kowtowed and cried, "No, I know I'm wrong, please let me go."
With the immortal marrow removed, she is a mortal person, and walking through the slaughtering ladder is more painful than burning her body in flames.
Law Enforcer Uncle looked at her coldly: "It's okay to go if you don't want to, let that big demon of Chi Lian go for you."
Nie Shui's face was pale, and he wanted to seek the help of the eloquent Chi Lian demon. However, the smiling person in the past had long since disappeared. How could she be found and suffered on her behalf.
Nie Shui fell to the ground in despair and powerlessness.
Zang Lin looked at Nie Shui from a distance.
Before Nie Shui was pulled out of the immortal bone, he said in a hoarse voice, "I'll go for her."
"Zang Lin, you're crazy!" The senior brothers said angrily.
Tantai Jin turned his eyes and looked at Zang Lin coldly.
Zang Lin kowtowed to Zhao You, and bowed to the brothers in turn.
"Master, this disciple is not filial. Senior brother, junior brother, you are all crazy."
Nie Shui was pregnant, and if she really walked down the Lingering Ladder, no mortal could be her, and she would die.
Zhaoyou closed his eyes and sighed deeply.
So that day, Tantai Jin looked at the stupid man, walked through the thousand-level slashing ladder step by step, and fell bloody in front of him.
He paused and supported Zang Lin.
With tears in his eyes, Zang Lin smiled bitterly: "Little Junior Brother..."
"Well, Third Senior Brother."
"When you like a woman in the future, remember to like a good person."
Tantai Jin whispered, "Do you regret it?"
Zang Lin shook his head: "I don't regret it, a man has to be responsible for the person he likes. It's just that since then... Zang Lin doesn't like her anymore."
You fall in love with a girl, even if she is a bad person, a liar, a lascivious woman, but you have to be nice to her and keep her safe.
On the day when Zang Lin went down the mountain as a mortal, he was very open-minded, carrying his luggage, clasped his fists and said, "The mountains are tall and the water is long, and I hope that I will have the opportunity to meet the brothers and sisters in this life."
Zang Hai turned his head away, his eyes were wet.
Xiaoyao Sect could not tolerate Nie Shui. At this juncture, Nie Shui was unwilling to follow Zanglin. Her immortal marrow was still there, so she decided to go all out to find Chilian or the male cultivator of Hehuan Sect.
On the day she escaped from Xiaoyao Sect, a pair of black boots appeared in front of her.
The boy smiled at her.
"Your life is not worth his cultivation."
My third senior brother, how lonely he is.
Before the heavy snow in winter, Tantai Jin was lying on the roof, with blood all over his body and Nie Shui's blood on his face, thinking of the liar who left a soul-killing nail in his heart.
His fingers scratched on the tiles of the eaves of the earth, scratching the clean snow.
He murmured, "Ye Xiwu, I am selfish, am I not worthy of loving you?"
I have no guilt in killing Nie Shui, has it never changed
At that time, Tantai Jin didn't know what he would pay for Susu in the future, how he swallowed his loneliness and tears, carved a tombstone in the imperial mausoleum, walked through the lonely path of common sorrow alone, and brought spring to the six realms.
