Being stared at by Shen Shu's serious eyes, Ye Yunlan pursed her lips with some headache.
The apprentice's cultivation is advancing by leaps and bounds, which is naturally good.
However, since his injury relapsed three years ago and Shen Shu became aware of it, Shen Shu began to pay special attention to his body and often retrieved all kinds of elixir for him.
Even though he had already told Shen Shu that these elixir could only relieve him a little, but could not cure his injuries, Shen Shu still brought the elixir back tirelessly, watching him take the elixir and seeing his face. A little better, will raise a happy smile.
And when he casually said that the elixir was bitter, Shen Shu would try to get rid of the bitter taste of the elixir. Later, I don't know where he learned the techniques of human cooking, and the elixir he made has its own taste, which can be called delicious food.
Whenever he sees Shen Shu bringing the elixir and looking forward to it seriously, if he refuses, he will not say it.
He took the porcelain bowl and looked down to see the pure white lotus petals and golden pear fruit soaked in the bowl, which looked very attractive.
So pick up the spoon.
The taste of the entrance is really wonderful, sweet and refreshing, the entrance melts, and the gentle and warm medicinal power infiltrates his broken meridians.
He felt a little more comfortable, and his eyes were slightly relaxed.
Shen Shu leaned against the desk and looked down at his master.
Ye Yunlan's complexion is extremely white, and his thin body is wrapped in thick fox fur, revealing only a face that seems to be covered with frost and snow, with long eyelashes hanging down, holding a porcelain bowl with five slender fingers, and taking the sweet soup from the bowl one by one .
It is like an elegant white crane pulling its neck to fetch water by the river.
The spoon collided lightly with the bowl wall, making a fine crunching sound.
The man's thin lips were stained with moisturizing water, and it had a micro-powder color, which made people think... a kiss.
Shen Shu didn't dare to look again.
He rolled his Adam's apple and stared at the ground, recalling the first winter he lived with his master.
At that time, the filth in his body had just been removed, and he began to practice spiritual power. With spiritual protection, I don't feel cold.
But Ye Yunlan was different. Although his master never said cold, Shen Shu knew that this person was accustomed to cold limbs on weekdays, especially in winter.
He once quietly went to hold the other person's hand when the person was asleep at night, but he couldn't hold the other person's hand. Even if he went to bed a lot earlier, he warmed the bed for this person. There is always a coldness in the side of the bed.
He wanted to hug each other many times and pass the warmth on himself.
In the end, he just froze until dawn.
Until his entry into practice, the first thing he did was to go to the bookstore to find a warm array. He set up around the bamboo building, and placed heaters all over the house. After thinking about it, he still felt that it was not enough, so he went to the mountain again. Hunting, he personally made a fox fur for Ye Yunlan.
He remembered that when his master received the clothes, his usually indifferent eyebrows showed surprise, "Shen Shu, you... can still cut clothes?"
"No... but I can learn." He said seriously, "Master slashes the sword for me, and I will... tailor clothes for Master."
After Shizun listened, there seemed to be an indiscernible and shallow arc on his lips, "You have a heart."
He watched Master get up and put on the fox fur, the white fluff lining the opponent's skin Sai Xue, as good-looking as he imagined.
Perhaps because of the plushness, the solitary and cold temperament of his master is much less, and there is an illusion that it is rare and soft and easy to approach.
From that time on, he liked winter very much.
I like to see the master wearing the fox fur he made by himself, staying in the warm house he arranged, quietly and peacefully.
Every now and then, a secret joy fills my heart and lingers.
Ye Yunlan put down the porcelain bowl in his hand and made a soft sound on the desk.
Shen Shu recovered from his memory, his long eyes drooped slightly, and he asked, "Master, is it delicious?"
Ye Yunlan gave a light "um", seeing Shen Shu's happy face and bright eyes, she vaguely overlapped with the young man who was extremely happy when he received his reward, and said softly, "You, if you spend the time searching for the elixir, Put more on your practice, maybe in a few years, even if the senior brother doesn't suppress his cultivation, he won't be your opponent anymore."
Shen Shu: "It won't take a few years."
Ye Yunlan could not help laughing when he understood what he meant, "You are confident."
But he didn't say he wasn't self-sufficient.
He remembered that when He Lanze and Shen Shu first began to discuss, he was very careless.
Shen Shu had never learned swordsmanship before, and it was only over a month of work with him at that time. He Lanze, who had already reached the master realm in kendo, even suppressed his spiritual power cultivation, and it was also crushing on Shen Shu.
He Lanze only came to discuss with Shen Shu once every time. After the discussion, he would go into the bamboo building to drink tea and chat with him under the pretext of being thirsty.
For the sake of discussing with Shen Shu, he would not refuse.
After Shen Shu was defeated several times by He Lanze, he asked him, "Master, does this make you embarrassed?"
He rubbed the boy's head and patiently said, "It's just a waste of a few more pots of tea."
Shen Shu was silent. He has already seen that Shen Shu is a rare kendo genius, with an almost wild intuition talent, able to grow rapidly in battle.
It won't be too long for Shen Shu to be crushed by He Lanze.
Didn't expect it to be so fast.
But three years.
He saw that Shen Shu was defeated by He Lanze with one move from the beginning, and then he was able to support several moves, and later, under the circumstance that He Lanze suppressed his spiritual power cultivation, he could barely equalize with the opponent.
He Lanze's attitude also changed from casual at first to serious later.
Every time Shen Shu and He Lanze competed with each other, he would not stop until he was exhausted. With the improvement of his strength, He Lanze and Shen Shu had less and less time to chat with him after a match.
Ye Yunlan once persuaded Shen Shu: "You don't have to work so hard every time you and Helanze learn from each other."
Shen Shu said seriously, "I want to save tea for Shizun."
Thinking of Shen Shu's serious look at that time, Ye Yunlan had a helpless smile in his eyes.
"You are now a golden core, and such a speed is rare among the younger generation in the cultivation world today." Ye Yunlan said.
The reason why it is said to be rare is because in the world of self-cultivation, there are several families of self-cultivation families with profound inheritance. Due to bloodline, resources, and cultivation since childhood, it is not uncommon for young people to have better cultivation than Shen Shu today. .
But aside from many factors, Shen Shu has done well enough at his age.
"It's a good thing for spiritual power to grow too fast, but in this way, the foundation can easily become unstable. What you need to do now is to suppress your cultivation, constantly temper your own state of mind, purify your spiritual power, and make your realm completely stable."
"So, I have a suggestion for the teacher." Ye Yunlan raised her head and looked at Shen Shu, "Go to take up a few sect missions outside Qingyun Mountain, go to see the world, and see the world. Shen Shu, your future should not be limited. in this inch of land."
Shen Shu thought to himself, but I just want to be by your side, Master.
However, he is no longer the boy who expressed his emotions directly. Over the years, according to Ye Yunlan's expectations, he has grown into what the other party wants.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Master, after I heard about it for half a month, it will be the Tianchi Mountain Discussion Conference. I want to participate."
The Tianchi Mountain Discussion Conference is a grand gathering for the younger generation of disciples in the cultivation world. At that time, all major sects will send their disciples to participate in the face of a sect.
If Shen Shuruo goes, he can really open his eyes and increase his knowledge.
Ye Yunlan: "Why do you want to attend the conference?"
Shen Shu: "I want to try my own strength. As the master said, I have a lot of knowledge, and I can take this opportunity to temper myself and stabilize my cultivation."
There was one more thing that he didn't tell Ye Yunlan. The reason why he paid attention to the Taoist seminar was because he heard that if he could get the first name in the Taoist seminar, he could get a ninth-grade elixir.
Elixir is rare.
The elixir he has found in the past few years is no more than rank six. If he can get the elixir of ninth rank... Will the injury on Master's body be improved
In this way, the annoying sect master who comes to heal the master every month will no longer be able to pester the master in the future.
Ye Yunlan was quite satisfied with his answer, and said, "Since you've made up your mind, go pack your things. Remember for the teacher, the sect has organized to go to the Shenxing Feizhou of the Taoist Society, don't miss it."
Shen Shu was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "Master... can you accompany me? I see other disciples in the sect, they all go to the discussion meeting, and they are accompanied by their own teachers..."
The competition at the Taoist conference is not a point-and-click competition. If one party does not admit defeat in time, serious injury or death may be possible, and it is indeed necessary to take care of it.
Ye Yunlan had never been to the Taoist Forum in his previous life.
In this life, he had already decided to find a remote place to spend the rest of his life and no longer participate in the right and wrong of the cultivation world.
He has already seen the vastness of the world, the changes of mountains and rivers, and countless scenery in the world. I don't know how to miss it.
But Shen Shu hasn't.
Ye Yunlan thought for a while.
If Shen Shu is alone, whether he will be bullied, whether he will be deceived, whether he will be tempted, these... He is not worried.
Indeed, it should be better to follow and take care of it for one or two sessions.
He went out this time just to take care of his apprentice. As long as he acted less ostentatiously, he probably wouldn't have any problems.
So he agreed.
"Okay, I'll accompany you for the teacher."
The shadow next to Shen Shu twisted excitedly.
He picked up the porcelain bowl on the table, rubbed his fingertips against the edge of the bowl, and whispered happily.
"Master treats me so well."
-That night.
Shen Shu stepped out of the bamboo building and went to a small bamboo building next to him.
As he got older, his stature has also grown, and the carved bed has become more cramped. A year and a half ago, he was instructed by Ye Yunlan to move out and built another small bamboo building next to him.
He stood in front of the window, looking at the silhouette of his master on the window of the bamboo building opposite.
He didn't lie down on the bed until the lights went out.
After a while, he fell asleep.
There is snow in the dream.
He was walking in the snow and suddenly smelled a sweet smell.
Following the scent, I saw a half-closed window.
His heart suddenly pounded, and a voice told him that the window should not be opened, but another voice was urging him to open the window quickly.
He opened the window.
Saw a carved bed in the house.
And a wet, wrinkled fox fur.
There was a man lying on the fox fur, all white and dazzling. The man propped himself up on one hand, his black hair slipped off his shoulders, and turned to look at him.
He saw that the other party's eyes were red, and there was mist in his long eyes, as if he was suffering in pain.
The cold voice called to him, trembling.
"…Come here and help me."
