After the death of the Immortal Ji Xiao, the first great competition in the vast sea ended with the collapse of the secret realm.
The participating factions returned to the sect with flying instruments, still in shock. This incident shocked the world of practice, how could it be able to withstand the wind and rain
Except for Hanshan, the heads of several sects and senior elders, who heard the wind from Mingyue Lake earlier, guessed that the collapse of the secret realm was related to the real person Guiqing, but did not want to say it explicitly. After all, before the disaster, all the participating disciples left, and no one died because of it. Who is willing to question the saint
Not long ago, the change in Hanshan Jingsi Valley seemed to be an ominous early warning.
Tai Heng, who is the highest in Hanshan's cultivation base, and his disciples and grandchildren left the sect and returned to the Zhou family in Huai Shui.
They quickly announced that it was Meng Xueli's refusal to accept the arrest, and the explosion of demon power caused the collapse of the secret realm. If this demon is alive, it must be made to show its true form.
But Meng Xueli didn't come out until the secret realm exploded. The participating disciples he helped closely followed the movements of the Hanshan Sword Sect, and never heard the news that Elder Meng and Daoyou Xiao had returned to Hanshan safely.
Meng Xueli caused a sensation in the cultivation world because of the Great Competition in the Secret Realm, and then lost his news. His life and death became a mystery.
Why did the secret realm collapse? Where did Meng Xueli go? Is he still alive
Overnight, countless problems emerged. Some young disciples who questioned the teacher's sect and conspiracy were locked up by the teacher, and they only said that they were closed to the outside world.
Compared with the split between the two factions of the Hanshan Sword Sect, their vitality has been severely damaged. Today's Mingyue Lake has the sage Guiqing sitting behind the scenes, the head of Yun Xuzi to handle important tasks, and the young genius who has broken through the Theravada realm. momentum.
On the surface, it does.
The cloud ship of the Hanshan Sword Sect returned, and the atmosphere on the ship was heavy.
When they left in the past, the disciples were in high spirits, chatting and laughing loudly, vowing to make a name for themselves in the vast sea; when they returned, the sect was divided, the head was injured, and Elder Meng disappeared. The only good thing was that only the head disciple Cui Jing made a breakthrough.
The sect is like a trapped beast, surrounded by enemies. The disciples held their breath, but instead became more united and had a higher fighting spirit.
The news of the collapse of the secret realm reached Hanmen City, and the old shopkeeper of "Hengtong Juyuan" was very worried: "Elder Meng is missing, that Sword Master's private library..."
Qian Yuzhi calmly said, "It's missing, no one can prove that he is dead. Sword Master's private library is still his."
"Hanmen City is backed by Hanshan. If something happens to Hanshan, the business of our head office will also be affected..."
Qian Yuzhi shook the fan of "Harmony generates wealth" and disagreed: "Hanshan is for scraping bones to cure poison, and Mingyue Lake is for accumulating wages. Whether it is good or bad, we will see for ourselves in the future."
…
Changchun Peak is still and deep, and the spring breeze is as old as ever.
Meng Xueli borrowed the moonlight from the window and scrutinized Ji Xiao's eyebrows. He blew into Jixiao's eyelids, and seeing that the other party didn't respond and seemed to be asleep, he boldly licked Jixiao's chin.
After becoming a human being, he has not done this action yet. Revisiting the intimacy of being a mink, his heart is full of satisfaction, but he listens to the breathing of the people around him.
Ji Xiao didn't know when to open his eyes, his eyes were clear, and he stared at him without any sleepiness.
Meng Xueli was caught and hurried away in embarrassment, sitting beside the bed, wondering if he should apologize.
The two looked at each other, Ji Xiao's voice was a little hoarse: "What's wrong?"
Meng Xueli: "I'm afraid you're not real, I'm still dreaming." So lick and confirm.
Warm breeze, beautiful scenery. Meng Xueli's stomach was full of crooked thoughts, and he was more concerned about Ji Xiao's injury:
"How are you feeling now? Where did you hurt before?"
Ji Xiao waved his hand: "It's okay."
Meng Xueli shook his head: "You always say it's fine and don't tell me anything."
Ji Xiao sat up, leaned halfway against the wall, and smiled: "What do you want to know."
Meng Xueli wanted to ask if he knew who killed him, and if he had any clues, but he was afraid that the Taoist companion would not recall "death", just as he did not want to recall betrayal, so he first asked Ji Xiao what happened after his rebirth.
As long as people are alive, there is hope for everything.
If Ji Xiao is gone, he is willing to give his life to avenge Ji Xiao, and when Ji Xiao is still there, he wants to respect Ji Xiao's wishes.
Ji Xiao started from the rebirth of the house, and then went to Hanshan again, and met in the library late at night. After the library building, there is no need to say it again, it was Meng Xueli who had experienced it together with him.
Meng Xueli listened quietly, with a faint joy flowing in his heart, suddenly he thought of something, and his expression changed slightly:
"You absorb the power of the secret realm, will Gui Qing know that you are not dead?"
Ji Xiao: "The secret realm of refining and refining in Guiqing failed, and he suffered backlash. He had to hurry up to heal his injuries, and he didn't dare let people know that he was injured. Before he recovered, he couldn't care about me."
Meng Xueli: "Is he hurt more than you?"
Ji Xiao: "That's the space fragment that I opened, with my divine sense imprinted first, he wants to refine it, like competing with me for a sword. I hold the hilt, he holds the blade, the two pull, who is easier Injuried?"
Meng Xueli suddenly realized: "Have you thought about it? You went to the secret realm to absorb the power of the secret realm, and wait for this opportunity to seriously injure him?"
Ji Xiao said, "Half of it."
"What about the other half?"
Ji Xiao smiled: "For you."
Meng Xueli was startled, his earlobes turned red, and he whispered, "Me too."
Ji Xiao sighed slightly, and said in a gentle voice, "I hope you are doing it for me, not to repay your kindness."
Meng Xueli said eagerly, "We met before you saved me, but you didn't know it!"
When he saw Ji Xiao for the first time, there was a light snowfall in Hanmen City.
The dead branches are covered with snow, the crows are flying, and the plum blossoms are scattered.
Before the river in the city froze, Meng Xueli turned into a stern under the stone bridge, supported a long artemisia, ushered in, and transported people and goods.
But he was a little embarrassed at this time and didn't dare to say it too bluntly: "It happened many years ago, when I wasn't the king of the snow mountain, you haven't been holy... I was punting in Hanmen City, and I saw you from a distance. ."
Ji Xiao walked over the bridge, he raised his eyes and saw Ji Xiao's snow-like face across the swirling snow and falling plums.
I thought that I had practiced for hundreds of years, just for this look.
Ji Xiao murmured, "It was you."
It turned out that the demon who crossed people under the bridge was Meng Xueli.
Meng Xueli said in surprise, "Do you remember?"
Ji Xiao nodded: "I've never seen a punting monster before, so I was curious, so I took a look. It turned out that the front was already set, and a blizzard in the 'Outer Lands' blew you back to me again. already."
His tone was indifferent, but Meng Xueli felt that the honey pot was overturned, and the honey was about to overflow from the bottom of his heart—his relationship with Ji Xiao was much deeper than that of Mirage and Three Jiao.
He said happily: "We should be Taoist companions."
Ji Xiao jokingly said, "I should still be a master and apprentice."
Meng Xueli was only happy for a moment, and his face instantly flushed: "No, I originally thought that you belonged to Ji Xiao..."
He couldn't go on.
Ji Xiao was even more curious: "What?"
"I thought you were Ji Xiao's son." Still thinking of treating you well and being a good stepfather.
Ji Xiao stood on the spot, as if struck by lightning. The ambiguous atmosphere between the two disappeared.
Seeing that his expression was wrong, Meng Xueli immediately pulled the quilt to cover his head.
Look at what absurd things he has done, treat Ji Xiao as a son and an apprentice, engage in a "support Ji party" to let Ji Xiao write articles, and brag about Ji Xiao in front of Ji Xiao... Everything suffocated him.
The sense of shame flooded into his heart, and Meng Xueli was instantly drowned.
He began to evade and shirk responsibility: it's also because Ji Xiao didn't tell me earlier, so this should be Ji Xiao's fault, right
I'm embarrassed, but isn't Ji Xiao embarrassing? Isn't Xiao Yu ashamed? If you want to embarrass people, everyone will throw them together, and no one should dislike anyone.
There was a bulge in the quilt, Ji Xiao stretched out his hand and patted the "small drum bag" lightly:
"Come out, I don't blame you."
From the depths of the bed, Meng Xueli's dull voice came: "Don't look at me! You go out first, I want to be alone for a while!"
Ji Xiao said honestly, "This is my room."
Meng Xueli: "..."
He abruptly lifted the quilt, ran to the window in two steps, jumped, and disappeared without a trace.
Facing the empty, still warm bed, Ji Xiao was forced to start a life separated from his Taoist companion.
Once again, Jian Zun vaguely felt that what he did was inappropriate.
