As for whether Master could persuade Senior Sister Linglong to change her mind, Xiaodong couldn't be sure.
Ji Zhenren stuffed that... the cage to him: "You take care of it first, don't forget it when you leave."
Xiaodong took over the cage containing people, always feeling that something was wrong.
"I will never forget."
Don't forget anything and don't forget this.
But taking this back to the house, Xiaodong was a little confused.
where? This guy in the cage shouldn't be able to escape. But Xiaodong didn't want to always look at him, it felt awkward.
He found a black cloth and covered the cage.
Well, that's about it. Presumably Chen Jingzhi didn't want to see him either, so that he wouldn't get tired of seeing each other.
As for whether to feed him or not, Ji Zhenren didn't tell him about it. He expected that they would not die of starvation for a few days before going back, so it would save trouble.
Xiaodong pushed open the window, the night was getting dark outside.
He closed the window, went back to the house and sat down, crossed his legs, and closed his eyes.
People in the world have to open their eyes to see, and they can't see anything when they close their eyes. Xiaodong was like this before.
It's different now.
After closing the eyes, it seems as if another pair of eyes are opened in the heart, from near to far, like water drops falling on the surface of the lake, the perception is like the ripples on the water surface, expanding outward round by round.
Xiaodong "saw" the entire Xiejiazhuang, the yards of each yard, the people in the village, and... well, the master and the elder brother.
It was the courtyard where the senior sister they had been to just now lived temporarily.
Alas, I always feel that the master is wronged enough, and the apprentices are not worried about one or two. Try another sect? How can a master be so considerate to an apprentice
Xiaodong really wanted to get closer to see if Master could persuade Senior Sister.
To be honest, he has no idea.
Master is not a person who is particularly good at persuading others, and senior sister is not generally stubborn.
Xiaodong got closer, and he even saw a small mole on the back of the senior brother's neck, which he had never noticed before.
The nape of the neck is already whiter than other places, but such a small mole looks like a black sesame seed sticking under the hair clump.
Knowing that it wasn't a sesame seed, she still wanted to reach out and pick it off for him.
But I don't know if Mo Chen has eyes in the back of his head, or if he sensed Xiaodong's bad thoughts and turned his head suddenly.
Swept by those clear and clear eyes, Xiaodong immediately faltered. Don't say you don't dare to get started, you don't dare to get too close.
Master and senior brother entered the room, Xiaodong could only watch through the window.
Senior Sister Linglong knelt down when she saw Master, her eyes were red, but she didn't shed a single tear.
Xiaodong also felt uncomfortable.
He diverted his attention to other movements in Xie's village.
In a courtyard not far from Master and the others, a man and a woman were arguing anxiously. If he wanted, Xiaodong could hear their conversation clearly.
But seeing that the two hugged each other without arguing a few words, Xiaodong felt...some things are better not to be seen.
When he was about to turn his attention away, Xiaodong suddenly froze for a moment.
He turned back again.
He recognized that man, he was the son of Master Xie. After a few days, although he was not very familiar with him, Xiaodong would definitely not mistake Zhang's face.
But what is he doing in this place
That woman was dressed as a woman, she didn't have any cultivation, she was just an ordinary person. But she looks pretty good, she is smeared with makeup, her hair is full of jewels, and she is about twenty years old.
The relationship between the two does not look like a husband and wife.
Although Xiaodong himself has never been married, he has seen how ordinary couples live their lives, and the two obviously don't look alike.
Uh, they not only hugged, but also bit each other.
Xiaodong quickly looked away.
Then, farther away, the servants of Xie's family squatted around the stove with rice to eat.
besides…
Xiaodong never tires of it.
Probably everyone has such a desire in their hearts, more or less, secretly watching how other people live behind closed doors.
Xiaodong hadn't been curious before, but now... well, well, he wasn't particularly curious either.
Xiaodong thought it hadn't been long, but a door knock outside reminded him.
He quickly woke up, the feeling was like swooping down from a high place, and he felt dizzy for a moment.
Before he could stand up, Mo Chen had already entered from the outside.
Xiaodong was caught straight.
"Big brother."
Mo Chen's face was serious, Xiaodong suddenly became uneasy.
The elder brother once warned him that he should not abuse his talent when alone, nor should he be unscrupulous in crowded places.
But Xiaodong violated both of these today.
"I didn't mean it, really." He hastily admitted his mistake: "I just wanted to meditate at that time, but I didn't expect that after I closed my eyes..."
It's out of control.
The expansion of perception is like breathing, as natural as opening and closing the eyes. He was not as difficult and deliberate as he was when he forced his soul out of the body for the first time.
He felt that he couldn't explain clearly, the elder brother had clearly warned him so solemnly, he committed the crime knowingly.
Mo Chen didn't hold on to his mistake. For Xiaodong, the previous ten years were ordinary people's life. He suddenly discovered his extraordinary talent and asked him to control it calmly and send and receive freely. A little overpowering.
To tell the truth, young people like Xiaodong's age are mostly rebellious and flamboyant, and Xiaodong is particularly well-behaved and obedient.
"This is not an example."
Xiaodong didn't expect to pass the test so easily, so he nodded in agreement. After skipping this section, Xiaodong remembered to ask:
"Brother, then, Senior Sister Linglong, she..."
"She has determined the path she wants to take." Mo Chen said briefly: "Even if she is forced to come back and the magic skills she cultivated are abolished, she will not be able to go back to the original path."
Xiaodong had vaguely guessed the result, but he still couldn't hide his disappointment when he heard what the senior brother said.
"People in the devil's way... It seems that few of them can have a good death."
Mo Chen didn't make a sound, and after a while, he said: "Her parents are both members of the devil's way."
"it is true?"
"Yes, she has already found out her own life experience, and her blood relationship cannot be faked. It is difficult for her to stay out of the grievances of the previous generation and the grievances of this generation."
Xiaodong intertwined her fingers, lowered her head, feeling a little sad.
In his heart, master, senior brother, and Ji Zhenzhen are already very powerful, but even they have so many things they can't do. Ji Zhenzhen himself has been trapped for decades, separated from his master. Eldest brother has such a lonely and extraordinary background. As for myself, I suffered a lot during the trip to Tianjian City.
Mo Chen put his hand on his shoulder.
Gentle and powerful.
"The way of cultivation is like this, not only self-cultivation, but also mental cultivation." Mo Chen said softly: "There is no road in the world that is smooth and smooth, and it is impossible for everyone to stay side by side all the time. Separate intersections."
Xiaodong raised his head.
So what should he do
"Keep your original intention." Mo Chen said: "Remember what you want, where you want to go, and don't get lost halfway."
Xiaodong didn't understand everything, but he carefully remembered what Mo Chen said.
"Brother."
"Um?"
"Will you leave first too? Will you part ways with me one day?"
Mo Chen answered him: "No."
Xiaodong smiled: "Well, that's fine."
He doesn't understand those too complicated principles, but he has never understood his goal and direction as he does now.
He wants to follow the big brother, always, always, go on. (to be continued)
