Ye Yunlan lay cross-legged on the cloud bed, cold sweat soaked his forehead and back, and a few strands of black hair stuck to his cheeks.
The palms of the people behind him were close to his back, and the huge spiritual power rushed through the meridians, and the powerful cultivation base suppressed him so that he could not move.
Time has become extremely long, like viscous sea water flowing by.
After a long time, the person behind him recovered his spiritual power.
The restraint that restrained his movements was released, Ye Yunlan's body softened, and he reluctantly rested on the cloud bed with his hands to stabilize his body.
After a long delay, he turned to look at the person behind him, and said dumbly: "I never knew that the dignified Tianzong Sect Master, the Supreme Immortal Dao, would also forcefully heal the unwilling people."
Qi Yunjun frowned slightly.
"I don't understand," he said in a cold voice, "we should have never met before. Where does your fear of me come from."
Transcending mortal monks touch the way of heaven and can sense other people's feelings towards them.
If mortals call their names directly, they are thousands of miles away, and even the mortal cultivator can perceive it.
Ye Yunlan tried his best to calm down.
His long eyelashes drooped, his pupils slowly turned dark, and suddenly said: "Xianzun seems to have misunderstood something."
Qi Yunjun: "What's the matter?"
"Xianzun and I have never known each other for a lifetime, so what I fear is naturally not Xianzun." Ye Yunlan said, "I just heard that Xianzun specializes in the ruthless way. As we all know, those who cultivate the ruthless way can see the world, but not the world."
Qi Yunjun: "So what?"
"What I fear is the ruthlessness of heaven and earth," Ye Yunlan said indifferently, "Heaven and earth are ruthless, only willing to distinguish between the turbid and the turbid, but not good or bad, not arguing between black and white, often making the innocent suffer, and teaching the innocent to sin. How can it be so intimidating?"
Qi Yunjun's face was slightly cold.
He could hear that what this person said seemed to be saying that he was afraid of the ruthlessness of heaven and earth, but in fact he was still mocking him.
The last person who dared to speak like this in front of him has been reincarnated for a long time.
As a sword cultivator, he has never been a gentle and easy-going person.
only.
Qi Yunjun looked at the pale face of the person in front of him.
This man was really afraid of him, and he had just healed his wounds. When his hands were close to the man's back, he could feel the thin back, soaked with cold sweat, trembling. When he looked back at him, his eyes were full of tears. Some redness.
This person never cried, but the tear mole at the end of his eye was like a silent tear of blood, looking... very fragile.
Rarely explained: "The so-called black and white is good or bad, guilt or innocence, it's just the judgment of the world, it's just one-sided words."
"The reason why heaven and earth are ruthless is only because the way of heaven is supreme."
Heaven is supreme.
Ye Yunlan listened, and suddenly couldn't help bending the corner of her mouth.
He seldom smiled, and this smile was full of ridicule, but it was still astonishingly gorgeous, like a red plum crushed by the cold wind in the white snow.
"Xianzun originally thought so."
He no longer continued the topic, just looked away from the gate of the temple, and said, "Dare to ask the Immortal Venerable, how long do you want me to heal?"
"Seven days." Qiyun Jun said, "Your body's spirit fire and spirit aura leaks out, and I need to use my spiritual power to continuously run through the meridians for seven days before it can be suppressed. And every month after that, in order to ensure that the injury does not recur, the It needs to be consolidated through the meridians again.”
"Immortal Venerable is not too annoying," Ye Yunlan said with an expressionless face, "Is it worth spending so much effort for a disciple whose cultivation path has been cut off?"
Qi Yunjun: "I said, I owe someone karma. What I promised will be done."
Ye Yunlan said lightly: "It turns out that I am just a tool for Immortal Venerable to complete cause and effect."
Qi Yunjun frowned and wanted to explain, but found that Ye Yunlan was not wrong.
He was really just using Ye Yunlan to accomplish cause and effect.
"I already know what Immortal Venerable needs." Ye Yunlan lowered his eyebrows, looking tired and tired, "I will stay here for seven days to heal, as Immortal Venerable wishes."
"If Xianzun has nothing to do, please leave."
Qi Yunjun was silent for a moment, but he didn't say anything. Before leaving, he said, "Your injury is not healed, so you can rest."
After his figure completely disappeared from view, Ye Yunlan slowly released his tightly clenched fist.
His palms were soaked with sweat.
He raised his head and looked up at the dome of the Yuntian Palace. The words that the other party left behind before he left have completely changed his appearance, and they came into his mind like a ghost and a ghost, and they echoed over and over again.
- Your injury is not healed, so you can rest.
- Your demonic thoughts have not disappeared, so you should reflect on yourself.
Introspect... Introspect... Introspect... Introspect... Introspect... Introspect...
Ye Yunlan shook his head, staggered up, got off the cloud bed, and walked out of the palace.
A gust of cold wind blew in front of him, and he shivered from the cold, but his mind was much clearer.
He rubbed his sore temples and decided to take a walk outside first.
The Yuntian Palace is huge. The whole is constructed of white jade, with jade carvings, and Langyuan Qionglou. It has a fairy-like atmosphere.
Just too lonely.
Ye Yunlan walked for a long time without seeing a single person.
It's snowing.
Ye Yunlan was walking in the corridor paved with jade and heard the sound of his own footsteps echoing in his ears.
Just like the echoes he heard when he was locked in the Buddha Tower and climbed up layer by layer.
He closed his eyes, and once again pulled his thoughts away from those dim and hazy memories.
Suddenly, a large patch of bright colors came into view.
Ye Yunlan stopped and saw a peach blossom forest not far away. A large area of bright red adorns the Bai Yuqiong building, which is incompatible with the cold and dead Yuntian Palace.
He hesitated for a moment, then stepped into the peach forest.
Unlike the snow in the outside world, the peach forest is as warm as spring, and it should be a formation that reverses the weather.
The wind was blowing, and peach blossoms fell on him. He closed his eyes and smelled the delicate fragrance of peach blossoms.
A small petal fell on his cheek, very soft.
Some familiar memories brought back memories from a long time ago.
Back then, he also rescued Rong Ran in such a peach forest.
He was blind and blind when he was young, abandoned by his relatives, and lived in the mountains and forests, living in a valley full of peach forests.
Occasionally one day, when he was walking in the peach forest, he stumbled on something.
He squatted down to touch it, but found blood on his hand.
It was a man who was seriously injured and on the verge of death.
He rescued people and took good care of them.
This person is Rong Ran.
However, after Rong Ran woke up, he lost all memory, not even his own name.
They lived together in Peach Valley for three years.
Depend on each other, like relatives.
Although Rong Ran lost his memory, he still knew a lot more than him.
He taught him to use wood and stone to make a fire, build grass and trees for his house, and hunt animal skins for his clothing, so that he would no longer have to live in caves or run out of food.
Although it was Rong Ran that he rescued at the beginning, but later, it was him who was taken care of.
Rong Ran often hunted some delicious wild things to bake with him, and he went to the forest to pick fresh wild fruits and hold them to each other.
At this time, the opponent's palm will always stroke his head and gently rub it.
Although he could not see Rong Ran's face, he felt that Rong Ran was a very good and very good person.
Such a peaceful life lasted until a night of thunderstorms and downpours.
Rong Ran disappeared.
He only left a bottle of medicinal herbs and a jade.
It rained for nine days and nine nights.
At first, he stayed in the wooden house he and Rong Ran built together, and then stumbled into the rain to find it.
However, no trace of Rong Ran could be found.
Blindness magnifies perception.
He was running in the rain, listening to the pattering rain hitting his back. At first, he only felt clamorous, but then it was deafeningly pounding his heart and spleen.
Since then, he no longer likes rainy days.
What I don't like is listening to the sound of rain.
After nine days, the rain stopped.
He still couldn't find Rong Ran, so he could only sit alone in the muddy peach blossom forest, and opened the pill bottle that he had held tightly in his hand for a long time.
Danxiang is fragrant.
He thought that this should be what Rong Ran left him to eat.
Although at that time, he didn't even know what the medicinal herb was.
He poured the elixir down his throat.
The medicinal pill melted in the mouth, and soon, he felt exhausted and swept away, and light slowly appeared in the dark world in front of him—
He could actually see.
After being able to see things, the first thing he did was to look down at the jade left by the other party.
- That's a black jade.
The ink jade is engraved with extremely simple lines, with two ancient characters vertically engraved in the middle.
He couldn't understand it, until later, he stumbled out of Taogu, and after he went to the mortal world, he asked someone to ask, and only then did he know that the two words were "Tianzong".
The first major sect of the Immortal Dao, the Tianzong.
And the reason why he went out of the valley was to find Rong Ran, so he went to Tianzong without hesitation.
After several months of trek, we finally arrived.
In the process of going to Tianzong, he has encountered many dangers, but the black jade seems to be a strange object. Whenever someone wants to hurt him, it will emit strong light. After the strong light disappears, those who think Anyone who wanted to hurt him disappeared.
He didn't know where those people went, and when he asked about Rong Ran later, Rong Ran just rubbed his head and told him he didn't need to know.
He climbed the three thousand long steps of the mountain gate.
At the end of the long steps, he met Rong Ran, and it was the first time he could see his face clearly.
As gentle and beautiful as he imagined.
Rong Ran was stunned when he saw him, and immediately recognized the ink jade on his waist, and walked over with joy on his face.
"You're finally here." Rong Ran's voice was like a spring breeze.
"—I have been waiting for you for a long time."
…
Ye Yunlan suddenly noticed that his eyes were falling on him.
He opened his eyes, turned to look at the place where he was looking, and found a man in a white cloak holding a sword standing under a peach tree not far away, and he didn't know how long he had been looking at him.
The sword intent on the man has not disappeared, and there is a sense of loneliness and coldness overflowing from his body, which is clearly the appearance of having just finished practicing the sword.
Is this the place where Jun Qiyun usually practices swords
Ye Yunlan frowned, his eyes fixed on the long sword in the opponent's hand.
Xuanqing crosses the sword.
When he was in the Buddha Tower, he felt the sword energy swung by the opponent countless times, but he had never seen the real appearance of this world-famous fierce sword.
After being seriously injured by Shenhuo, his eyesight has always been poor. From such a distance, he can only vaguely see that the long sword held by Qi Yunjun is of simple and simple shape, but the scabbard is engraved with an abrupt bright red. pattern.
And at the hilt of the sword, there is a black jade hanging, looking at the shape, vaguely... somewhat familiar.
Ye Yunlan wanted to take a closer look, but suddenly heard Jun Qi Yun say, "This is not the place you should come."
He had already wanted to leave, but staying here was just a little curious about Xuanqing Du'erjian. Hearing this, he withdrew his gaze and said lightly, "If you don't disturb the cultivation of Immortal Venerable, I will leave now."
Qi Yun-Jun stood where he was, staring at the thin white shadow fading away.
He looked down at the peach blossom on the horizontal branch in front of him, raised his hand and touched a small petal above it.
Just now, he glimpsed someone in the peach forest from a distance, and in a trance, he seemed to be reunited with the illusory figure in the dream.
Approaching Fangzhi is just an illusion.
I suddenly remembered that there is snow all year round in Yuntian Palace, and except for the inside of the palace and this peach forest, other places are freezing cold.
Ye Yunlan couldn't use his spiritual power to protect his body, and he was injured again, so he was afraid that he couldn't stand the cold.
Maybe he shouldn't be told to leave.
It's just that this thought swirled in his mind for a moment, and then disappeared.
—
Ye Yunlan walked on the empty white jade corridor.
The cold wind passed through his robes, and his complexion was paler than the snow piled up outside the cloister.
Footsteps were suddenly heard in the distance.
He looked up and saw that the visitor was wearing a blue robe, Rong Ran.
"Alan can teach me how to find it easily." Rong Ran walked quickly to him, complaining in her tone, but with a smile on her face, "But if I can get out of bed and walk around, it seems that Master's healing is indeed effective, and I also Don't worry. Alan, you must not know how worried I was when you were unconscious in Senior Brother Helan's room."
Ye Yunlan said calmly, "Really."
Rong Ran's smile froze, and then she said with concern: "Alan is still used to being in Yuntian Palace? Master doesn't like being disturbed, Yuntian Palace does not allow outsiders to come in and out at will, if you need anything, tell senior brother, Brother, come and do it for you."
"I don't need it." Ye Yunlan looked up at Rong Ran slightly, and suddenly said, "Senior Brother Rong, I said before that I don't want to come here for healing."
"The reason why Alan is reluctant is because of Master?" Rong Ran persuaded softly, "Actually, although Master is ruthless, he is very kind to me and other Tianzong disciples on weekdays. It's not as inhumane as outsiders say, Alan really doesn't have to resist so much."
"It's not like that." Ye Yunlan said, "I just think that Senior Brother Rong took care of me all these years, and the life-saving grace of that year has already been paid off. If you help me like this, I'm afraid I can't bear it."
Rong Ran: "Why does Alan think so? I take care of you out of my own willingness, and it has nothing to do with saving your life. Why should you take it to heart?"
"But Senior Brother," Ye Yunlan said lightly, "there are many things that I can decide for myself, so I don't need to bother Senior Brother to advocate for me."
Rong Ran's face turned pale, and finally understood what Ye Yunlan meant, "Alan suddenly said this, is it because the senior brother did something wrong and made you angry?" He thought for a while, and explained eagerly, "You were vomiting blood and comatose, I Sending you to Master for healing is a last resort, not disrespecting your wishes... Alan, you don't know how worried I was at the time..."
Ye Yunlan passed him and left.
"Alan!"
Rong Ran suddenly raised her voice and shouted.
"Are you going to get angry with your senior brother because of this trivial matter?"
Ye Yunlan only walked forward and did not look back.
Rong Ran stood there and waited for a long time.
However, this time, Ye Yunlan was no longer the same as before, relying on him everywhere. As long as he showed a little insecurity, he would take the initiative to approach, carefully to please him.
When he finally turned around, he couldn't even see Ye Yunlan's back.
Rong Ran suddenly realized something—
The nightingale he had raised for so many years flew away.
—
Shen Shu is waiting for someone.
He has always been good at waiting and extremely patient.
Finally, he saw the familiar figure coming from the snow from afar.
Black hair flutters, white clothes hunt.
It reminded him of the scene where the man flew like a white gull in the blazing fire that day, and hugged him who was seriously injured.
The flames slammed into the man's back, and blood dripped on his face.
Very hot. he thinks.
How can someone's blood be so hot
Burning at the top of his heart, teaching him to toss and turn every day and sleepless all night.
"...Shen Shu?"
He heard the cold voice of the man.
Shen Shu ran over, met Ye Yunlan's surprised eyes, and handed the other person a handful of bluebells that had been in his hand for a long time.
The blue flowers are full of wind and snow, quiet and beautiful.
Ye Yunlan hesitated for a while, but still took the flower and said, "How did you get into the Yuntian Palace?"
It was enough to be able to sneak into Helanze's courtyard before. This place is Yuntian Palace, and there are many restrictions. Even he can't easily get in and out. How did Shen Shu get in
"Wangyun Peak... I've been here a few times before, and Yuntian Palace is at the top of Wangyun Peak." Shen Shu's voice was hoarse, and his speech was still very slow, "It's just... I couldn't get in at first, so I waited outside. a few days."
Ye Yunlan: "Wait?"
Shen Shu nodded, "Wait."
"Waiting for who?"
"Wait for someone... go inside." Shen Shu described, "I waited for... a man in blue clothes. I followed him and came in."
People in Tsing Yi... Rong Ran
Ye Yunlan said: "The last time you sneaked into the yard to see me, did you follow me secretly?"
Shen Shu nodded.
Ye Yunlan: "..."
He reached out and touched Shen Shu's head, slightly surprised.
Regardless of Shen Shu's ability to track Yuan Ying's Rong Ran without being noticed, just by sneaking a glance at it, he can pass through so many complicated restrictions like a gourd. What this requires is not only powerful observation. Along with memory ability, you must also have an extremely keen and natural perception of battling.
This is a genius.
Ye Yunlan was aware of this, and suddenly remembered the Demon Venerable in his previous life.
Demon Venerable is also a person who is very good at formation techniques.
Originally, he didn't know about this, because when he was sent to the magic gate, the opponent had already achieved a complete magical body, and his strength was respected in the magic way, and there was no need to use the formation technique as a help.
It was not until later that Mozun declared himself a cultivation base and stepped into the Neisheng Temple, breaking the 90,000-fold prohibition outside the Buddha Pagoda, and when he killed him to save him, he knew that the other party was not inferior to this world in terms of formation skills. Any one formation technique everyone.
Ye Yunlan was a little ecstatic.
Shen Shu raised his face, let Ye Yunlan touch his head, his eyes focused on Ye Yunlan, his appearance was very well-behaved and quiet, but he suddenly felt that the other party's movements slowed down.
He saw that his shadow was still reflected in Ye Yunlan's beautiful eyes. But the other party's eyes seemed to be looking at other people through him.
Shen Shu's eyes darkened, and suddenly he reached out and tugged at Ye Yunlan's sleeve.
"... Xianjun."
Ye Yunlan came back to his senses, "What?"
Shen Shu: "I brought flowers this time, can Xianjun... give me a little reward?"
Ye Yunlan thought that Shen Shu was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and he was still a child, and he wanted to be praised for doing things.
So he asked, "What reward do you want?"
Shen Shu: "I want Xianjun... Hug me."
Ye Yunlan was stunned.
Shen Shu clenched his sleeves and said cautiously, "Isn't it possible?" His voice was hoarse, "It's just like... when Xianjun rescued me back then."
Ye Yunlan remembered the blood-covered boy he held in his arms back then.
At that time, the young man was curled up in his arms, and his bloody hands tightly clasped the placket of his shirt.
… As if he was his only support in the floating world.
His heart softened, Ye Yunlan leaned over and hugged Shen Shu.
The young man's scorching body temperature passed over, and his body that was frozen in the cold sky and snow suddenly felt warm.
very warm.
Couldn't help holding it tighter.
Shen Shu stood on tiptoe and stretched out his hands to wrap his thin and thin shoulders.
The boy's breath snorted on his neck, and it was a little itchy.
After a long time, he heard the hoarse voice of the boy.
"Xianjun... It smells so good."
Ye Yunlan didn't realize that there was any scent on his body, but, when the Demon Lord used to be confused, confused, in love, he often hugged him and said he smelled so good, but now Shen Shu mentions it like that, somehow, his face It got a little hot.
He let go of the boy, got up and said, "It's getting late, you should go back. Yuntian Palace is no better than other places. If you trespass without authorization, you will cause trouble."
"I'm not afraid." Shen Shu said.
… the daring little wolf cub.
"I know you're not afraid," Ye Yunlan said, "but if you act like this, people will worry about you."
Shen Shu: "Xianjun... will you worry about me too?"
Ye Yunlan pursed her lips and didn't answer the question, she only said: "I rescued you from the secret realm, but I didn't want to see you act recklessly and toss yourself."
"Reckless behavior... I don't know what reckless behavior is," Shen Shu said, "However, I listen to Xianjun."
"Then go back, you don't have to come again these few days." Ye Yunlan paused and added, "After seven days, I will also leave here."
Shen Shu nodded obediently, turned around and walked a few steps, then turned back and asked, "After Xianjun leaves here, will he go back to... the place before?"
Ye Yunlan was silent for a while, and said lightly, "I have my own place."
Shen Shu's eyes suddenly lit up, "Where is Xianjun's own residence...?"
Ye Yunlan remembered that his residence was arranged by Rong Ran when he first entered the sect. It was very remote and there were no other disciples around. On weekdays, only Rong Ran would make a special trip to see him.
The remote place is also suitable for his needs, so there is no need to bother to replace it.
So he said, "Yanhui Peak, Green Bamboo Forest."
Shen Shu listened, thought for a while, and said, "Then I... go to Xianjun's residence and wait, and prepare a... surprise for Xianjun."
"At that time, can Xianjun give me another reward?"
surprise
Ye Yunlan looked at Shen Shu and looked up at him, with a serious expression without blinking, her heart softened.
He gently wiped the snowflakes that fell on the boy's cheeks with the pulp of his fingers, and said, "Okay."
