Curly green smoke slowly rises from the incense burner, and there is a faint scent of sandalwood in the air.
Fu Xifeng dropped a pawn, and said calmly: "Your strategy is nothing more than that. You sacrificed more than 130 ghouls, and in exchange for Xing Yusheng being shut down over the cliff."
The man looked at the chessboard intently, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "What's the hurry, he will live an extra day when the person who protects him is alive, which is normal. Why should we fight for this time, young man, take a long-term view You have to eat food one bite at a time, and you have to go step by step in chess."
Just a moment ago, Fu Xifeng still had the upper hand on the chessboard, but at this moment, as the words fell to the ground, the situation on the chessboard changed, and the white pieces in the man's hand unknowingly formed a siege, firmly enclosing his black pieces. Trapped to death, and finally killed him to death.
Fu Xifeng chuckled suddenly and briefly: "I've been taught."
There was a kind smile in the man's deep eyes, but no one knew that the scheming hidden behind this mask, most of the swords, lights and swords, were put into his flick of a finger.
it's terrible...
Fu Xifeng's heart sank slightly.
Siguo Cliff is surrounded by barriers, not like a dungeon, you can enter and exit at will.
Mu Changting naturally couldn't visit Xing Yusheng as often as he used to go in and out of the dungeon at will, but since he promised his master to take good care of him, he should pay more attention.
What's more, Xing Yusheng is currently deeply involved in the matter of Nanxun Town, emotionally unstable, and needs comfort most.
Mu Changting used the cooler weather as an excuse, and begged the precept elder for a long time before he was allowed to bring some bedding and clothes to Xing Yusheng on Siguo Cliff.
Yun Yang, the eldest disciple of the elder who commanded him, took him up the Siguo Cliff, and put his hand on the transparent barrier. After a wave of light surged, the barrier slowly opened a gap that only one person could pass through.
Mu Changting smiled and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Yun."
Yun Yang nodded and said: "You don't have to be polite, Junior Brother. When you leave, you will send me a voice transmission, and I will come to pick you up again."
Mu Changting thanked again, and carefully entered through the gap in the barrier.
As his body entered the range of the barrier, the barrier quickly closed, Yunyang saw that he had entered, turned around and left.
Mu Changting walked into the cave, but there was no one there.
He put down the quilt and clothes, circled around inside a few times, shouted several times to his junior and senior, but no one answered.
The sound echoed in the cave, Mu Changting sat down and waited for a while, bored for a while, but Xing Yusheng still didn't come back. He stood up and patted the dust off his body, and decided to look around again.
Siguo Cliff is not big, Mu Changting spent about half a stick of incense searching, and found a natural hot spring behind a cave hidden by branches.
The young man he had been looking for was sitting in the water with his eyes closed. His upper body was naked, and the sweat flowed down his forehead, slipped over the ups and downs of his Adam's apple, and mixed with water droplets into the water from his firm chest.
Mu Changting didn't have the slightest sense of peeking at people taking a bath. He leaned against the stone wall with his arms folded, and said with a smile, "Junior Brother, I've been looking for you for a long time, and you will enjoy it. You don't look like you are practicing penance at all!"
Xing Yusheng didn't move or open his eyes, as if he didn't know what happened outside.
Mu Changting yelled a few more times, but Xing Yusheng was still motionless, and then he noticed that Xing Yusheng's cheeks were flushed abnormally. He thought it was because Xing Yusheng had soaked in the hot spring for too long, but now it seems that, He seems to be out of health.
Mu Changting frowned, and before he had time to think about it, he quickly took off everything he could, only wearing obscene clothes and trousers, and dropped into the water with bare feet. Xing Yusheng stood at the innermost position, and Mu Changting walked over with a splash of water, stood in front of Xing Yusheng, and called again: "Junior Brother! What's wrong with you?"
He stretched out his hand and was about to touch Xing Yusheng's arm, but the man suddenly opened his eyes, his fingers clasped his wrist like iron clamps, and dragged him in front of him!
The eyes of the two suddenly met, and Mu Changting choked for breath.
Eyes... His eyes turned into light-colored golden pupils again!
However, soon, the moment he blinked his strange eyes, his strange eyes disappeared like the tide receding, and turned into a normal jet black.
The distance is too close, so close that it makes people feel a little depressing.
Mu Changting subconsciously wanted to take a step back, but he had just made a move when Xing Yusheng's other arm suddenly came from behind and pulled him into his arms, his eyes darkened.
Mu Changting swallowed nervously, and felt the extremely dangerous feeling that he felt when Xing Yusheng swung his sword at Nanxun Mountain that day.
The palm tightly attached to Mu Changting's waist was scorching hot, and the frightening temperature was transmitted through the wet clothes.
Mu Changting pursed his lips and said softly: "... Junior Brother, do you still recognize who I am?"
Xing Yusheng's handsome face revealed an icy coldness that should not be approached by strangers, but his embrace was extremely hot. This great contrast became more obvious under the lingering hot spring water.
The white mist evaporated, and Mu Changting's slender eyelashes were stained with tiny drops of water, and his originally fair cheeks were also slightly flushed, making him look a bit attractive.
Xing Yusheng's deep eyes surged undercurrents, and under the eerie silence, Mu Changting's voice sounded again: "Junior brother!"
He yelled much louder this time than before. The clear voice shook the eardrums, and it immediately rang into Xing Yusheng's chaotic mind. He frowned and closed his eyes. He pressed his head with both hands, which seemed to be in some pain.
Seeing him like this, Mu Changting panicked: "What's wrong? Headache?"
Xing Yusheng groaned in pain, so uncomfortable that he wanted to hit his head against the wall, Mu Changting was so frightened that he quickly held him down, and coaxed: "Don't hit, don't hit, it will hurt more, come on, let's go ashore, you stayed in the water for too long gone."
He stumbled and helped Xing Yusheng ashore. He let Xing Yusheng sit on the rocks on the shore, his palms filled with spiritual energy stuck to his back, and a steady stream of pure spiritual energy slowly flowed through his body like a warm current, slowly smoothing his body. The breath of chaos in the body.
Mu Changting didn't stop until Xing Yusheng's complexion improved.
At this time, Mu Changting's whole body was soaked, and his obscene clothes were very light, which vaguely outlined the outline of his body.
Xing Yusheng's eyes circled around him, then turned away quickly, and said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you, big brother."
Mu Changting heaved a sigh of relief when he heard him call this senior brother, and laughed, "It's good that you're fine, you scared me to death."
The two returned to the cave where Xing Yusheng lived, picked up some branches and piled them together to light them.
The warm light of the fire was reflected on his face, and everything in the cave seemed extremely peaceful and serene. Xing Yusheng remembered that when the fairy magic trial was held, the two of them also burned a fire in Huazhu's cave and slept all night.
Mu Changting even grilled the snake meat for him to eat, and he ate it at that time, but Mu Changting just stood there dumbfounded.
The corners of Xing Yusheng's mouth slightly raised, staring at the fire in a trance.
Mu Changting waved his hand in front of his eyes, and said with a smile, "What are you thinking?"
Xing Yusheng suppressed his smile and said in a low voice, "It's nothing."
Mu Changting has long been used to his appearance, it seems that no one can get close to him, and he never gets close to anyone.
Mu Changting thought for a while, and asked, "Recently... how often have you been so delirious?"
Xing Yusheng's complexion changed, and it took a long while before he whispered: "I don't know either."
Sometimes I wake up like I fell asleep, and sometimes I don't know what I was doing just now.
His situation was a bit tricky, so Mu Changting fell silent.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Xing Yusheng was a little nervous. He looked at Mu Changting's side face and said in a low voice: "If...if I really killed those one hundred and thirty people, you...would you feel that too? Am I unforgivable?"
Mu Changting didn't think about him at all, and was stunned when he heard the words: "What kind of character are you, I don't know if we are brothers or sisters. Besides, the master believes in you, you Don't worry about it."
Xing Yusheng didn't know what kind of answer he wanted to hear, but he felt a little disappointed.
After returning, Mu Changting slept for a long time that night, and when he woke up the next morning, the sun was already high.
He sneezed violently, and actually caught a cold.
He hasn't been sick for a long time since he cultivated immortality and practiced swordsmanship. Perhaps it was because he sent too much spiritual power to Xing Yusheng yesterday that his body couldn't take it anymore.
Fu Xifeng came over with Heibuliuqiu's soup and forced him to drink it.
Mu Changting took it with a smile, and sighed, "Why does this illness make me feel like I'm back in the past."
In fact, Mu Changting has always been in good health. Even the bones of ordinary people in the past are alive and kicking, and he rarely gets sick.
It's just that in the past, there were occasional minor illnesses and pains. At that time, Fu Xifeng took care of him from beginning to end, and only at that time, Fu Xifeng was the most gentle Fu Xifeng.
Frowning and drinking the medicine, he suppressed his nausea and took a mouthful of candied fruit in his mouth.
The sweet taste lingered on the tip of his tongue, gradually covering the bitter taste of medicine, and he smiled again: "If you don't practice Taoism, you can still be a doctor, after all, you treat patients well."
Fu Xifeng gave him a stern look: "If I want to study medicine, why don't I learn from the elder physicians and go to the trouble of treating ordinary people?"
Mu Changting smiled slyly: "It's all good, in short, I can always get a good job."
They were bickering happily when the door knocked twice, and a woman's soft voice sounded outside the door: "Senior Brother Mu, I'm Biyun, can I come in?"
Mu Changting quickly kicked Fu Xifeng to open the door. Xu Biyun walked in carrying an exquisite food box, and smiled slightly: "Senior Brother Mu, I heard that you are sick, are you feeling better?"
Mu Changting smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Junior Sister. It's just a minor illness. It will be fine after a night of sleep."
Xu Biyun let out a "hmm", lowered her eyes and bit her lips lightly, rubbing her toes on the ground.
Mu Changting glanced at Fu Xifeng and motioned him to go out.
Fu Xifeng ignored him, and sat down instead. Mu Changting had no choice but to say to Xu Biyun, "Is there something for my junior sister to ask me for? But it's okay."
