"Senior brother." With the mentality of wanting to share everything with senior brother, Xiaodong held Mo Chen up so that he could see the situation outside the window clearly.
In the twilight, the two walked back slowly, with their backs against the light, they looked like two black silhouettes, linked to each other, looking indescribably peaceful.
Mo Chen actually knew about it earlier than Xiaodong.
Although he didn't see it, Master and Ji Zhenren will have this day sooner or later. On the boat last night, Master and Ji Zhenren did not avoid suspicion and sat so close to each other—Ji Zhenren was not concerned about trifles, but Master would never have acted out of courtesy if he hadn't made up his mind. Looking at the appearance of the two of them now, they must have said everything, and they decided to stay together for the rest of their lives.
Mo Chen was very happy for Master.
At such times, apprentices have to be sensible, close their eyes and plug their ears, pretend not to hear anything they hear, and pretend not to see anything they see. In short... It cannot hinder the master, nor can it embarrass the master.
He couldn't speak now, but he grabbed Xiaodong's sleeve and raised a dragon claw to signal.
There is always such a tacit understanding between the brothers and sisters, Xiaodong understood Mo Chen's meaning in an instant, turned around and sat down lightly, with as serious an expression as possible.
But the tight corners of his mouth betrayed him.
I really want to laugh, but I can't laugh, and the expression on my face is very weird.
On the contrary, senior brother, his current face... well, there was no change in his expression, but Xiaodong felt that his eyes were also full of smiles.
Of course it wasn't that they dared to laugh at Master. To be honest, the master is not old at all, and when he is with Ji Zhenren, he looks so happy, it is not the same as before, they are only happy for the master, and they have absolutely no disrespect for the master and Ji Zhenren.
Xiaodong said quietly: "Eldest senior brother, is it true that we need more mistresses when we go back this time?"
Mo Chen nodded slightly.
"Actually, this is pretty good..." Xiaodong and the elder brother had nothing to hide, and said whatever was on their minds: "Master and Ji Zhenren smiled a lot when they were together...Of course I didn't mean to be with us. The master stopped laughing," Li Fulin was very easy-going, and he didn't put on airs in front of his disciples. Unlike the other sects, if the disciples see the head of the sect, if they don't show respect, it seems that they have become treasonous. Xiaodong has lived in Tianji Mountain, Beifu and Tianjian City, these things are not uncommon. In comparison, my master is really the number one in heaven with a good temper.
"But, that's different..." Xiaodong understood what he was thinking, but he couldn't explain it clearly.
Smiles and smiles are also different.
Master would also laugh when he was with his disciples, but that smile was gentle and elder-like... Xiaodong felt that his mouth was stupid and he couldn't describe it. When he was with Ji Zhenren, the master's smile was different.
When facing Ji Zhenren, Master's eyes seemed to be brighter than usual, and his smile was more cheerful. Sometimes it looks helpless, sometimes it even looks a little playful.
At that time, the master looked even younger.
Right, that is it.
When he was with Ji Zhenzhen, Master seemed to be a young man again.
Although he didn't look old at all on the outside, and he was like a brother with Mo Chen, but his eyes can't deceive anyone. Master's eyes are not the eyes of young people, and the eyes always carry the vicissitudes left by the years. It cannot be washed off or wiped off.
When he was with Ji Zhenzhen, Master seemed to have returned to decades ago, and the smile seemed to be radiant and full of joy.
Seeing such a master, Xiaodong also felt happy in his heart.
As long as the master is happy, Xiaodong will give full support, whether it is to form a couple or do other things, and there will never be any awkwardness.
It was getting dark outside, and when Li Fulin came back, he brought two fresh fish, asked the shopkeeper to make soup for Xiaodong, and gave Mo Chen a pill—I really don’t know what to give him now, this pill has a gentle temperament Ping, even if there is no benefit to eating one or two, there should be no harm.
Now the three of them each have a bowl of soup, Li Fulin was afraid that Xiaodong would be hungry when he was young, so he ordered another pancake for him. Mo Chen also had a seat, but if he stayed on the stool, the three people sitting would not be able to see him, so he was coiled on the table.
A square table sat quite neatly.
Li Fulin took a sip of the soup, Xiaodong and his master hadn't sat together for a meal for a long time - because Li Fulin had been fasting for a long time and didn't need to eat at all.
Once the master and apprentice sit together and set up tables and chairs, they usually have something to say.
Sure enough, everyone drank the soup, and after Mo Chen ate the elixir, Li Fulin said seriously: "I have something to tell you two."
Xiaodong sat up straight, and Mo Chen also raised his head, as if listening solemnly.
"Ji Zhenzhen and I agree with each other and decide to become Taoist couples."
Mo Chen was taken aback, Xiaodong didn't expect Master to say it like that. But after being stunned for a moment, Xiaodong immediately said, "Congratulations, Master! This is a very good thing."
Ji Zheng was sitting on the side, neither showing any joy nor shyness, as if she was not talking about her.
But for Ji Zhenren's temperament, Xiaodong and the others are very familiar with it, no one finds it strange. They would be surprised if Ji Zhenzhen's temperament really changed drastically.
Xiaodong stood up, saluted solemnly, and congratulated Li Fulin and Ji Zhenren.
Li Fulin smiled and said: "It's a good thing, let's have some fun when we go back, let's talk to you two first."
Xiaodong sat down and asked, "Master, are we going back to Beifu City?"
The road is quite long, and even if the master recovers all his strength, it will take some time on the road.
"Let's go back to Liushan to have a look. I'm not at ease about the formation, so I happened to be on the way."
Xiaodong was very happy to hear the news. He has always been thinking about Huiliu Mountain, but he is still not used to Beifu City. It's not that it's cold... the main thing is that it's not my place.
If they go back this time and the formation has been restored, will they be able to move back? It would be great if that were the case.
Li Fulin knew what he was thinking at a glance.
Xiaodong, a child with few thoughts, can tell what's on his mind at a glance.
Some people may think that such a disciple is not smart enough, and feel that he will not be of much promise. But Li Fulin felt that there are advantages to being less mindful. People with too many distracting thoughts tend to go astray. Even if you don't make a mistake, if you hesitate a little when you encounter an important choice, the opportunity may be fleeting.
Li Fulin felt that there was nothing wrong with the little apprentice's simplicity.
But after this dinner, Li Fulin still had something to say to him.
There is no need to avoid people in this matter, except for Ji Zhenren who has no patience and went out by himself, Xiaodong and Mo Chen stayed behind.
Mo Chen found that since he became what he is now, Xiaodong seemed to be particularly willing to hold and protect him, as if he was afraid that he would lose him if he let go.
Perhaps it was the events of these days that frightened Xiaodong a lot, none of which was trivial.
A Tianjian city was shattered before their eyes, and he became what he is now.
Li Fulin looked at the two apprentices... Although one of them looked weird, but because of this, he didn't have any idea of favoring one over the other in his heart.
"I went to the east of the island during the day. The tide washed a lot of things ashore, and many of them can be seen to be things in Amami Castle."
Xiaodong asked: "Is it true that Tianjian City is gone?"
Li Fulin nodded: "It is indeed gone. Stones and the like are too heavy, they should have sunk into the bottom of the sea. What can be washed up by the sea are some fragments." After a pause, he said: "There are still people."
Xiaodong was stunned.
"There are still some alive, but relatively few. When I passed by, the people on the island rescued two of them, but their injuries were too serious, and they passed away after a while." Afraid that Xiaodong would feel sad, Li Fulin quickly explained: " But they did talk about some things that happened in the city at that time. One of them, senior brother Wang from Qianshan Hall, broke down the door of the city treasury and rescued many people with flying boats, including people from the inner city and ordinary people from the outer city. .”
Hearing that many people were rescued, Xiaodong breathed a sigh of relief.
"As for their wounds..." Li Fulin said, "It looked like they were wounded by swords. I wanted to ask why, but they couldn't bear it anymore, so they didn't ask." Li Fulin also felt very strange about this. Except for the group of disciples led by Elder Wu, they have never fought with anyone else. Where did the injuries on these people come from? If it was injured when the city collapsed, it shouldn't be a sword injury.
Ji Zhenzhen was about to go back to his room, when he walked to the door and heard what they said, he said bluntly: "What's so hard to guess? Look at the location and depth of those wounds, it's obvious that they themselves started the internal quarrel. Most of the time, there is a grudge, and when you are running for your life, you push me and I step on you, so it is not surprising to fight."
Li Fulin was a little hesitant when she said it: "Really? I look a bit like it, but I can't be sure."
"Is there anything I'm not sure about." Ji Zheng had fought with those disciples of Tianjian City before. She entered the room, picked up a bamboo branch standing by the door, and raised her hand to use the moves she remembered.
"Here, this move doesn't look so useless. I've seen two people use it before. It must be the most powerful move in Tianjian City."
Xiaodong didn't even see Ji Zhenren's movements, but only saw the tip of the bamboo branch swaying slightly, creating a phantom.
However, four parts of Li Fulin's body, including the shoulder, neck and waist, had been stabbed by the tip of the bamboo branch. Holding the bamboo branch, Ji Zhengping asked Li Fulin who was touched by the bamboo branch: "Think about the person you saw during the day, did he have injuries in these places? I may not be like me, the sword moves are definitely different, but it won't Too bad."
Li Fulin nodded, with a solemn expression: "That's right, you always have a good memory."
Ji Zheng will not easily forget other people's moves after seeing them—it can be called a photographic memory. Her intuition and talent in this area are not comparable to hers among the people Li Fulin has met in her life. Li Fulin thought carefully about Tian Jiancheng's moves, and it was true.
At such a critical juncture, they are still fighting each other.
At that time Li Fulin asked him about his injuries, the Tianjian City disciple kept silent and died after a while, Li Fulin thought that his injuries were too serious and he couldn't speak anymore. Thinking about it now, it was probably because this matter was really embarrassing, and if he said it, he would lose Tian Jiancheng, so he didn't open his mouth until he died, and he didn't want to say it.
