The next day, Yunye opened his eyes, and there was no sign of his master in the room.
"Master?" He sat up and subconsciously looked around.
There was no one else in the room, let alone the presence of that person, only him and... a rabbit sleeping in the dark.
Yun Ye shook Bai Tu, and asked uncertainly: "Ruan Ruan, was my master here last night?"
Bai Tu who was awakened by him yawned, slapped Yun Ye's hand away with his paw, rolled over in his arms and continued to sleep.
Silly apprentice.
Bai Tu has become more and more sleepy these days, and when he fully woke up, Yun Ye had already carried him back to Tianyan Sect in a cloth bag. There was a lot of people outside for some reason, Bai Tu impatiently pressed his ears in the cloth bag, curled up his body, but he could still hear the noisy sound.
He opened a gap and looked out, Yunye was passing through the gate of Tianyanzong.
This place has changed from the tranquility of the past, many cultivation disciples in different costumes stand in front of the mountain gate, people come and go, it is very lively.
Bai Tu was in a trance, and came to his senses. Ling Weijun had indeed told him before that half a month later, the major cultivation sects would gather in Tianyanzong to discuss how to deal with Mo Yuan.
Did half a month go so fast
Bai Tu's ears drooped and he retracted into the cloth bag.
Xun Yi said earlier that the elixir given to him was only enough to hide it for more than half a month.
Bai Tu touched the slightly raised belly, it was still flat in human form, but once the effect of the medicine wore off, higher cultivators would be able to see the clue at a glance.
He may not be around for long.
Suddenly, Yunye's footsteps stopped.
Bai Tu heard a familiar voice: "So it's Yun Ye. It's been a long time since I've seen you, why didn't you even say hello?"
It's Xun Yi.
Yunye's expression was tense, and he saluted Xun Yi stiffly: "The disciple has met the master."
Bai Tu huddled in the cloth bag and pretended to be dead, but a spiritual force suddenly penetrated into the cloth bag. The spiritual power lifted him up and flew straight out of the cloth bag. Xun Yi reached out to catch him.
Bai Tu: "..."
What is this man doing? ?
But Xun Yi just stroked Bai Tu's head lightly, and said with a smile, "This is the first time I've seen this rabbit. My nephew is so excited to raise such a cute little thing."
Yunye's eyes darkened, and he snatched the little rabbit back from his hand without any trace: "The little guy is timid, Shi Bomo wants to scare him."
Xun Yi smiled and said nothing.
"Master." Behind him, Pei Ran called him softly, "Master, please go to the front hall to talk, let's go."
"Okay." Xun Yi nodded, and said to Yunye, "Nephew, I'm leaving first. I'll go to Luoxia Peak if I have time."
Yun Ye: "Respectfully send off Master."
Xun Yi took Pei Ran away, Yun Ye looked at his back and snorted coldly.
Bai Tu laughed.
He knew that Yunye had always disliked Xun Yi for no other reason than Bai Tu and Xun Yi were brothers who grew up together and had a close relationship.
He even eats his senior brother's jealousy, this little jar of jealousy.
Bai Tu was brought back to Luoxia Peak by Yun Ye, and later, Ling Weijun sent someone to Luoxia Peak.
Bai Tu had previously written a letter to inform Ling Weijun about his retreat, and he had made it clear earlier that he was not interested in attacking Moyuan with them. This time all the immortal sects gathered in the Tianyan Sect, Ling Weijun just sent someone to ask Sheng Zhao Mr. Huaxian can get out of the customs.
After learning that Immortal Zhaohua was not on Luoxia Peak, he didn't say anything more.
At sunset, Bai Tu leaned against the table, watching Yun Ye write.
Yunye's handwriting was completely different from Bai Tu's.
Bai Tu's handwriting is vigorous, yet elegant and introverted, unlike Yun Ye, whose handwriting is open and casual, without much refinement, but has its own style and unique flavor.
Bai Tu looked at it, his eyes gradually moved from the rice paper to the side of the man's face.
Yunye's expression was rarely focused, his brows were unconsciously frowned, his long hair was tied behind his head by a misty hairband, and a wisp occasionally fell from his temples, neat and handsome.
Noticing that Bai Tu was looking at him, Yun Ye paused for a moment, took a piece of hay with his left hand and fed it to Bai Tu's mouth.
Although he has always disliked him for gaining weight, there is no shortage of rabbit grass snacks that should be given to him.
Bai Tu took Yunye's hand and brought the hay over, holding it in front of him and chewing slowly.
The hay was all cut into the most suitable length for the mouth, and all the hay was picked was Bai Tu's favorite type.
In recent days, Yunye has taken care of him meticulously. He never thought before that being so clingy and dependent on his apprentice would one day give him a feeling of being dependable.
Since coming here, he hasn't experienced such a feeling of being cared for carefully for a long time.
Bai Tu lost his mind while holding the hay, Yun Ye raised his head and turned to look at the little rabbit who was staring at him in a daze.
Yun Ye smiled: "I'm so good-looking, are you dumbfounded?"
Bai Tu's ears twitched, then he lowered his head and stopped looking at him.
Yunye stretched out his hand, and lightly touched the round belly of the little rabbit with his fingertips.
Bai Tu obediently rolled under his hands, turning her belly inside out.
Yuno likes to touch his stomach.
No matter how many times he thinks that there is a little life conceived under the soft down, he is always amazed.
What's even more strange is that every time he touched the little guy through this thin layer of fur, he felt an indescribable intimacy in his heart.
Yun Ye gently stroked the little rabbit's belly, and said with a smile, "You little rabbit has been pregnant for so long, why haven't you given birth yet?"
If born, he must be a very cute little guy. Thinking of this, Yunye felt a little impatient.
He buried his head into the little rabbit's body, with the tip of his nose against the soft fluff, and said softly: "It's hard work in the womb, give birth quickly, and my brother will help you take care of it."
Bai Tu's heart trembled slightly.
A feeling that he had never felt before emerged from the bottom of his heart without warning, and he suddenly didn't want to pretend anymore, he wanted to tell Yun Ye the matter, he wanted to...
At this time, someone knocked on the door.
Yun Ye frowned, put Bai Tu back in the nest, and then got up to open the door.
Standing outside the door, Xun Yi raised the jug in his hand towards Yunye: "Nephew, your master is not here, why don't you come drink with me?"
In the pavilion in the middle of the lake, Xun Yi poured a glass of wine for Yun Ye, and said, "I got this wine from Penglai, and it's not usually available, so today you are lucky."
Yun Ye was patient, and answered in a lukewarm manner: "Thank you, Uncle."
The two drank together, and Xun Yi smiled again: "It's better for you to be upright, not as dull as Zhaohua. I asked him to drink with me, and he just sat aside with a cold face, and he would scold me when I drank too much, tsk , if I stay with him day and night, I won’t be suffocated to death.”
Yun Ye tightened his grip on the wine glass slightly, and said in a low voice: "Master is also for the good of Master."
"That makes sense," Xun Yi smiled, "After all, I am his senior brother. We grew up together, so he naturally treats me more than others."
Yun Ye's eyes were completely gloomy, but Xun Yi was ignorant, and while drinking, he was chatting about the funny things they did together when they were young.
Not long after, the pot of wine that Xun Yi brought had been drunk by him.
He shook the empty wine jug, and said to Yun Ye: "I remember that your master still has a few jars of wine in his library, you can fetch them for me, and I will bring him some later."
Yunye closed his eyes, restrained his dissatisfaction, and responded obediently, "Yes."
After Yunye left, Xun Yi put down the jug and chuckled, "Have you heard enough?"
Beside the gazebo, a little rabbit came out of the grass.
Bai Tu said helplessly: "Senior brother, what are you doing to anger him on purpose?"
Xun Yi looked at him with his chin propped up: "Why, do you feel distressed?"
"I'm not-"
Xun Yi said sternly: "Are you really planning to hide here as a rabbit? Zhengdao is searching for the entrance of the Demon Abyss, and is about to declare war on the Demon Abyss. Tian Yanzong will soon be in trouble. You look like this, what will happen then? Self-protection? Are you really pointing at your little apprentice to protect you?"
Bai Tu didn't answer.
"Also, I know you can't let go of this place, but you don't even look at it. How can you help me with your current body?" Xun Yi said leisurely, "Listen to senior brother obediently, and leave me quickly. Everyone Everyone has their own destiny, you have already ascended to the rank of Immortal Monarch, why do you still make yourself so tired?"
Bai Tu was silent for a long time, her ears drooping quietly: "I see."
Xun Yidao: "It just so happens that you recently announced that you are retreating, and I will take you away tomorrow. I will make plans after the child is born. Don't blame senior brother for being cruel. Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about this child."
The night was getting dark, Bai Tu was sitting in his den in a daze.
Yunye turned off the oil lamp in the house and lay down on the bed.
As soon as he closed his eyes, he suddenly felt something furry on his arm. The soft fluff swept over his arm lightly, making it slightly itchy.
Yunye sat up and grabbed the little hairball that was trying to crawl on him.
He put the little rabbit back into the nest: "No, you are too small to sleep on the bed, I will crush you in the middle of the night."
The little rabbit looked at him with wide red eyes and didn't respond.
Seeing that he was no longer moving, Yun Ye helped the little rabbit tuck up the silk handkerchief, and lay back on the bed again.
After a while, the furry feeling appeared next to the ear.
Yunye turned his head, and the little rabbit was sitting on the pillow, still looking at him with red eyes.
Yun Ye held him in front of him and reasoned with him: "Ruan Ruan, you really can't sleep here, what if I crush you?"
The little rabbit didn't move, just staring at him.
Yunye's heart softened, and he said helplessly, "I really can't do anything about you. I'll let you sleep here. Be careful at night."
He moved to the inside of the bed, and put the little rabbit in the gap between his shoulders and neck, so that the little rabbit could lean on his shoulders.
Yunye stroked the little rabbit's head twice, and said in a sleepy voice, "Now you can sleep."
There was silence in the room, and Yuno's breathing gradually calmed down.
Bai Tu leaned on Yunye's shoulder, looking at his sleeping face with his head tilted. After a while, he sighed, rubbed his head against Yunye's neck, and stopped moving.
"Good night."
…
The mountain was empty, and Yunye walked quickly on the mountain road.
"Ruanruan? Bai Xiaoruan?"
When he woke up this morning, he found that the little rabbit that was sleeping next to him had disappeared. He hurriedly searched Luoxia Peak several times, but he still couldn't see the chubby figure.
Yun Ye frowned: "Where did this little rabbit go?"
Suddenly, the sound of a sharp knife cutting through the air came from behind him. Yunye drew out the black bamboo fan at his waist, spread the fan out, and blocked the sword stabbing at his back.
Yunye raised his eyes and said impatiently, "Wujiu, are you finished?"
The person in front of him still had the face of Mu Xi, but now his eyes were full of evil energy.
Wujiu said: "Yunye, Zhengdao has already planned to declare war on Mo Yuan, and if you haven't come back, do you really want to wait for Zhengdao to destroy your entire clan?"
Yuno's expression froze for a moment.
He pushed Wujiu away, and took Taichu away: "If you want to keep the Moyuan, you should go back now and close the gap that you opened, so that the righteous way can never find the Moyuan."
"Are you such a withdrawn person?"
Wujiu sneered, and said sharply: "Why should Moyuan be trapped in that place where the sun never sees forever? They didn't give us a way to survive, so we worked out a way to survive by ourselves. People of the righteous way are not like my race. The heart must be different, they allow you to stay here now, but because they don't know your identity yet."
"... Guess, what if they know your identity?"
As soon as he finished speaking, billowing demon energy was suddenly released from all parts of his body, and wisps of black energy quickly enveloped his whole body.
Yunye was hit by this devilish energy and took a few steps back.
He raised his eyes to Wujiu, frowning.
Wujiu is now possessing the body of a disciple of Tianyan Sect as a spirit body, how could he have such a strong demonic energy.
unless…
Yunye's eyes moved slightly: "Did you use Moyuan's forbidden technique?"
Wujiu was a little surprised: "Do you still know the forbidden technique? Yes, my physical strength is really not enough, so I asked the disciples of Tianyan Sect to help me collect spirit beasts, absorb the power of the spirit beasts as the source of power, and then I was able to drive the forbidden technique." Technique, attracting a lot of magic breath."
"You're crazy." Yunye shouted, "You simply can't bear such a strong magic breath. If you continue like this, your meridians will go retrograde and you will die."
Wujiu's face was pale, but she smiled softly: "The young master actually cares about me, but don't worry, I won't die. Because, the return of this magic breath is not on me..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the black air overflowing from his body condensed into a ball and suddenly injected into Yunye's body.
"Ah!" Bai Tu sat up suddenly, his chest heaved violently, and his red eyes stared blankly at the front.
Beside him, a gentle male voice sounded: "What's wrong with Xianzun?"
They were sitting in a fairy chariot, led by three imperial spirit beasts, and they were driving steadily on top of the clouds.
Bai Tu turned his head and looked over. Xun Yi was resting on Pei Ran's lap, holding a jug dangling in his hand, and asked, "Did you have a dream?"
"Yes." The scene in the dream was still reappearing in front of his eyes, Bai Tu lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "I want to go back to Tianyanzong."
Xun Yi: "What nonsense, we've been walking for most of the night, it's almost here, you say you want to go back now, don't you mind making a fuss?"
Bai Tu said firmly: "Something happened to Tian Yanzong."
Xun Yi took a deep look at him, and said, "After all, the Tianyan Sect is the number one fairy sect in the world. Even if something happened, they would naturally have a way to deal with it. Besides, what are you going to do with your current appearance?"
Bai Tu said in a low voice, "I remember that senior brother should have a fairy medicine for short-term improvement in cultivation."
A clear sword shadow pierced the sky and landed in front of the mountain gate of Tian Yanzong. Bai Tu stepped out from the shadow of the sword, but what he saw was a mess, the grass and trees were burnt yellow, and the bricks and tiles were broken.
Bai Tu recognized it immediately, it was the trace left after being hit by the devil energy.
His heart skipped a beat, and he walked in quickly. A group of elders and disciples gathered in the martial arts arena in Qianshan, all in a panic.
"The Immortal!" "The Immortal is back!" "The Immortal is finally back, Yun Ye..."
There were many discussions around, but Bai Tu walked forward slowly without looking sideways.
The crowd in front of them automatically parted a path, and there was a person lying in the center of the crowd.
Mu Xi.
The man had died for a long time, his whole body was covered with purple-black spots, his eyes were wide open, as if he had experienced a lot of pain before he died.
Ling Weijun also saw Bai Tu, he stood up from Mu Xi, nodded to Bai Tu: "Xianzun, you are back."
Bai Tu's throat was dry: "Yunye..."
"Yunye? He's a demon!" In the crowd, a white-haired old man shouted loudly, "All fellow Taoists have seen it just now. The demon energy in that person is extremely pure. He must be from the Demon Yuan!"
"Yeah, I haven't seen this kind of pure magic energy for a long time. The last time I saw it was the Lord of the Demon Abyss."
"Lord of the Demon Abyss? There were indeed rumors that the only son of the former Lord of the Demon Abyss escaped to the human world. Could it be..."
Every word you say to me is full of indignation.
Bai Tu didn't want to hear this, so he interrupted, "Where is Yun Ye now?"
"Let's go." Ling Weijun shook his head and sighed, "An hour ago, I noticed a sudden demonic energy in the faction, so I went out to check immediately. I saw Yunye rushing from Luoxia Peak to the front mountain, obviously he has entered a demonic barrier."
"We tried to catch him, but none of them were his opponents. Yun Ye injured several elders and disciples, and took the opportunity to escape from Tianyan Sect."
"I sent people to Luoxia Peak, and found Mu Xi's body on the way."
Bai Tu's face turned pale. After hearing this, he turned around and wanted to leave, but was blocked by someone.
"Yunye is the disciple of the Immortal Venerable. Now that things have become like this, isn't the Immortal Venerable going to give us an explanation of the righteous way?"
Bai Tu looked up at him: "What do you want to say?"
When the man saw him, his aura suddenly collapsed, he opened his mouth, but said nothing.
Bai Tu said lightly: "You are right, Yunye is indeed a demon."
As soon as he said this, everyone was stunned.
"Since Yunye came to Tianyan Sect, he has never done anything against the righteous way. There is something else wrong with this matter. I will find out the facts and give you an explanation."
Bai Tu looked around, her voice was cold and firm: "Until the truth of the matter is revealed, I would like to guarantee Yunye that anyone who wants to seek revenge can come to me."
"... I will accompany you to the end."
After Bai Tu said this, he turned into a sword shadow and left Tian Yanzong.
Since that day, Immortal Zhaohua never returned to Tianyan Sect, and Yun Ye never appeared in front of people again. Zhengdao stepped up his investigation of Moyuan and Mozu, but after three months, he still found nothing.
Winter goes to spring, glaciers melt and everything recovers.
In a mountain forest thousands of miles away from Tianyanzong, a house stands in the forest, and the courtyard is full of flowers and plants.
In the early morning, a figure pushed open the door and came out of the house.
It was early spring, but he was still wrapped in a light fur cloak, tightly wrapped from head to tail.
Bai Tu quietly closed the door, turned around and walked out of the courtyard, only to hear a lazy voice from the courtyard: "Where do you want to slip off?"
Bai Tu paused, turned his head to look in the direction of the sound.
Xun Yi lazily leaned on the wicker chair, looking at him with a half-smile.
Beside him, a spirit beast with a wine jug on it stopped at his feet.
Since leaving Tianyan Sect, Bai Tu has lived in seclusion here.
Xun Yi added a lot of spirit beasts near his yard for him to send, one is to take care of his daily life, and the other is to keep him from running around.
However, it is very rare to come here in person.
Bai Tu secretly thought that luck was bad, and walked forward, without changing his face, he said: "It's too boring here, I'll go out and relax."
"Come on." Xun Yi glanced at him, and said mercilessly, "You have used this reason seven times."
Bai Tu hesitated for a moment: "Then... Shall I go down the mountain to buy something?"
"Immortal Zhaohua." Xun Yi dragged his voice, looking at him helplessly, "Are you going to find Yunye again?"
Bai Tu retorted softly: "No..."
"What do you want to do?" Xun Yi stood up and scolded, "Your precious disciple hasn't appeared for three months, and the righteous way has almost turned the entire Central Plains upside down. Where else can he go besides going to the Demon Abyss?" ?”
Bai Tu's voice softened: "In this case, I will look for him even more."
"You—" Xun Yi hesitated to speak, he thought for a while, and then said, "During this period of time, Moyuan seems to have disappeared from the world, but the news about Moyuan has never stopped. Some people say that your precious apprentice I have practiced the magic skills and become the new Lord of the Demon Abyss."
"Let me ask you, if Yunye has really become a devil, what will you do?"
Bai Tu said: "Take him back."
"What if you can't pull it back?"
"I don't know." Bai Tu lowered his eyes and whispered, "I don't think he will..."
"No?" Xun Yi sneered, "How do you know he can't, maybe this is his nature?"
Bai Tu sensed that there seemed to be a deep meaning in his words, and asked, "Senior Brother, why did you come to see me today?"
Xun Yi turned his head and didn't answer.
Bai Tu: "Is there any news from Yun Ye?"
Before Xun Yi could answer, suddenly, the water light mirror placed in the room flickered and flew to Bai Tu automatically.
Bai Tu glanced at Xun Yi, raised his hand, and a figure appeared in the mirror.
It was Ling Weijun.
Ling Weijun said: "I have seen the two immortals."
Bai Tu asked, "Why is the head looking for me?"
Ling Weijun hesitated for a moment, and said with a complicated expression: "We have news from Yunye."
One day ago, Tian Yanzong received a battle post from Moyuan, to be precise, it was from Yunye.
The letter stated that Moyuan would attack Tianyanzong in ten days.
Yunye dared to declare war on Tianyanzong, so he was naturally prepared. Thinking of what happened three months ago, Ling Weijun was so anxious that he couldn't help thinking about it, so he could only ask Xianjun Zhaohua for help.
After Bai Tu heard it, he turned to look at Xun Yi: "Brother came to me because of this?"
Xun Yi sighed lightly, as a tacit consent.
Bai Tu lowered his eyes, and gently stroked his abdomen with his palm.
He is now more than four months pregnant, his abdomen is slightly swollen, completely covered by the wide light fur cloak, and he looks thinner than before.
Bai Tu said to Ling Weijun: "Leave this matter to me. I won't let Mo Yuan attack Tianyan Sect. The sect leader can rest assured."
"This… "
Before Ling Weijun finished speaking, Xun Yi frowned and interrupted: "What are you going to do?"
Bai Tu said calmly: "I have found the entrance to the Demon Abyss."
"I'm going to see him myself."
