Since Jian Jian came in, Wen Xuan's eyes have been on him. This is a strange feeling, as if my heart is empty, and only when I look at each other can my heart be a little more fulfilled.
"Senior brother," Jian Yi noticed his strangeness, "Are you alright?"
Wen Xuan pursed his lips, not knowing how to answer.
In fact, as soon as the sentence was asked, it was easy to find that it was nonsense. He had just come in from outside, how those people from Shuiyunzong were talking about Wenxuan, he had heard a little bit. But he didn't expect that this incident would hit Wenxuan so much.
"Senior brother, don't worry too much." Jian Jian sat in front of him and faced him, "You and I both know what kind of person you are, why bother with what others say?"
Wen Xuan smiled, "That makes sense."
Jian Jian saw that he just forced a smile and was about to persuade him again, but Wen Xuan shook his head again.
"I'm not that kind of person who can't look down." Wen Xuan said, "This is the end of the matter, so we can only think about the good side."
What else could be good about this? The corners of Jian Jian's mouth twitched, but he said in agreement, "That's right, what's not to like? This is a good thing, a good thing! The reason why they treat you like this now is all because they are such people, it's you. You misunderstood them before, and you shouldn't have been so good to them before! This is a good opportunity to see so many people in one breath!"
Wen Xuan couldn't help being amused when he saw that he had said such a virtue.
He smiled like this, and Jian Yi felt embarrassed immediately, and laughed twice, unable to continue.
As a result, in the next moment, Wenxuan suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Jian Jian's arm, put it in his arms, put his arms around him, and rubbed his head on Jian Jian's shoulder with a smile, "Junior Brother Jian, you are right."
"Teacher, teacher, brother..." Jian Jian was frightened, and stuttered when he opened his mouth.
Wen Xuan turned a deaf ear and continued to hold him in his arms, rubbing his head, "You are right."
In a trance, Yi Jian felt that he seemed to be used as a pillow. Although there is no such thing as a pillow in this world in theory, people always want to hold something in their arms at certain times, and this feeling is the same.
So he quieted down and stayed peacefully in Wen Xuan's arms. He was so obedient that he didn't move for a while.
When Wenxuan lowered his head and looked at it, Jian Yi was already flushed and his face was hot.
"You," Wen Xuan finally released him and squeezed his cheek, "How long have you known each other, why are you still so shy?"
"Actually, I... I'm not shy..." Jian Yi turned his face sideways, lowered his voice and said weakly.
Wen Xuan could hear clearly, and asked him with a smile, "What is that?"
Jian Yi pursed his lips and stopped talking.
"Thanks to you, I'm in a better mood now." Wen Xuan rubbed his face and turned his eyes to the outside again, "But you are right about something. At least, now that this kind of thing happened, here I am. It will be quieter than before."
Because of Chu Lian's relationship, Daiyun Peak, where Wenxuan lived, was already inaccessible. But in the past, there were always people walking around because of Wenxuan. Now even that popularity has been saved.
"There will be less things to worry about." Wen Xuan smiled softly, "I can devote all my energy to cultivation."
Cultivators are supposed to focus on practice. To say it's a good thing is not really wrong.
It's just the smile on Wenxuan's face, but he doesn't seem happy.
"Senior brother," Jian Yi grabbed his hand, "you still need to be patient at this time."
Wen Xuan looked at him.
"We are not strong enough, and we still need the protection of the sect." Jian Jian said, "But as long as we continue to practice, one day, we will be able to be on our own."
"And then leave the sect..." Wen Xuan sighed.
Leaving Shuiyunzong? Not long ago, this was something that Wen Xuan could not even think about. But first, he was completely disappointed with the Sect Master, and then he was alienated by so many suspicions from his peers. Unconsciously, when Jian Yi expressed this meaning again, he would not refute fiercely.
But after all, it is where I grew up since I was a child.
"In short, at that time, we can stay and leave if we want, and we can leave if we want, no one can stop us." Jian Yi looked at Wen Xuan's eyes and said seriously, "There is only one point. No matter where you go, I will Follow."
Good, that's enough. Wen Xuan patted the back of Jian Jian's hand lightly.
"Of course, I have some skills, senior brother, you also know." Jian Yi continued with a little pride, "At that time, even if you don't want me to follow, I will definitely follow you to the ends of the earth."
"You kid..." Wenxuan couldn't help laughing, he didn't know what to say, but his heart was warm.
"So..." Jian Jian lowered his head again, as if it was a little hard to say, "After this, I may have to retreat for a while."
He is no better than Wenxuan, this is the first time he has reached the realm of foundation building, but he has been following Wenxuan around since the foundation is established.
Wen Xuan nodded, agreeing in his heart, and asked him again, "Did you get your master's advice after returning to the sect?"
"Master didn't mention this, but I already had this intention." Jian Jian said, "If I don't work hard, I will be thrown farther and farther by my senior brother. What will I use to follow you? If you have anything, just look for me and I'll come out right away."
Retreat and exit is not a child's play, but this simple statement is decisive.
Wen Xuan knew his intentions, so he didn't bother here, and instead said, "Since that's the case, before you retreat, we have to get rid of the Tongxin Gu thing quickly. I just happen to be quiet here, and I don't need to find another way. He's gone."
This is something that has been said for a long time, and Jian Jian naturally has no opinion, only asks, "But is there anything else to prepare?"
"The materials have already been purchased in Fairy Murong's hands, and they are all good." Wen Xuan said, taking out the storage bag, pouring out the contents, and then dividing it into two, half for each person.
Yi Jian took his share in his hand, and then began to grind Qi with his own spiritual energy according to the method mentioned on the jade slip. Wenxuan naturally also has a share to grind, but he is the cultivation base of the condensed Yuan period, with strong spiritual energy, and the speed is much faster than the simple one.
"Senior brother," Jian Jian said while rolling, "Although this is something that must be solved, this method is not small, and even if it fails, it is extremely normal."
"Why did you quit before you even started?" Wen Xuan laughed, "This is not like you."
"It's not a retreat." Jian Jian looked at the more and more crushed materials in his hand, as if he was looking at some rare treasure, surprisingly serious, "I'm just afraid you will be disappointed."
In these two sentences, Jian Jian finally completed his own process. Looking at the fine and smooth powder in his hand, Jian Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and then handed it to Wen Xuan.
At the same time, the material that Wenxuan had previously ground was also handed over to Jian Jian.
Then they mixed it with hot water and put it into the stomach respectively.
The purpose of this procedure is to make the two of them more and more integrated. Coupled with the concentric Gu, which is already connected, it has paved the way for them to peep into each other's hearts.
When those materials and the other party's spiritual energy melted in their belly, both of them felt a warm feeling crawling all over their bodies, and they were a little sleepy for a while.
"Senior Brother," Sitting straight in front of Wenxuan, Yi Jian was obviously a little nervous, "It's about to start."
Wen Xuan nodded, but he was actually a little nervous. But at the same time, those inexplicable little expectations also sprouted in his heart, making him even more excited.
Then, the two got close, put their foreheads against their foreheads, and looked at each other very closely.
This is an overly intimate pose, and it's easy to inevitably turn red.
"Senior brother," but at this moment, he said simply and again, "it doesn't matter if there is no success. Even if it is only half-successful, it is the most ideal situation."
The so-called only half of the success refers to the situation where one party can successfully reach the deepest part of the other party's heart, but the other party fails. In this case, the Gu worms in both sides will not die, but one of them—the one who has been completely penetrated by the other party, but cannot reach the bottom of the other’s heart—the Gu worms in the body will enter a kind of suspended animation. state, losing the ability to damage the host.
Concentric Gu in a normal state will cause both parties to live and die together, because the pair of Gu insects are originally a pair of spouses. Once one party dies, the Gu worm in the body cannot survive, while the other party's Gu worm senses the death of the spouse, and will die in love immediately, but before it dies, it releases a large amount of toxins, killing its host as well.
And when one of the Gu worms goes dormant, the connection of the concentric Gu, which originally lived and died together, will enter an unbalanced state. A dormant Gu worm cannot sense the death of his spouse, but once the dormant Gu worm dies, it will still be sensed by his spouse.
In other words, I succeeded and you failed. As a result, if you die, I have to die, but if I die, you will be fine. It is so unfair.
In Wen Xuan's mind, there is no concept of only half success. In his mind, this situation is a failure. He felt that today's simple performance was a bit strange. How could a boy who was obviously rampant, be so frustrated over and over again on this matter
He was about to make a joke, but after a blink of an eye, his vision was blurred, where could there be a simple shadow
Wenxuan quickly noticed that he was stepping into a simple heart.
It's really a strange feeling, clearly just staring at the other person's eyes very closely, and thinking about seeing the other person's heart while the breath is entangled, he actually came in.
But Wenxuan was surprised. Because when the blur in front of the eyes faded away, there was only darkness left. Is the simple heart actually such a place? Wen Xuan felt that it was unlikely, and thought to himself that it might not have arrived yet.
He calmed down, and walked forward a little excitedly and a little nervously.
After walking for a while, Wen Xuan gradually discovered something.
It was a road, a dark and narrow road. Wenxuan reached out and touched the wall on the narrow road. When he touched it, it seemed that it was still engraved with lines, but he couldn't see it clearly in the dark.
Wen Xuan ignited a flame in the darkness, illuminated his eyes with light, and finally saw what was carved on the stone wall.
The stone wall is indeed full of lines, and these lines also form a picture.
As soon as Wenxuan saw it clearly, his heart skipped a beat, and then he couldn't stop. What was carved on the stone wall was beyond his imagination.
