The wind is a bit strong on the mountain.
Ye Yunlan gathered the fox fur on his body, and the heat he exhaled condensed into white smoke.
The red maple leaves flew up in the wind one after another, mixed with fine snow.
The snow was black, as if stained with something ominous.
The mountain road has been crossed for most of the time. Suddenly, a strong wind blew from the top of the mountain, and Ye Yunlan swayed.
Then, his lower back was supported by someone.
Ye Yunlan froze, and whispered, "Shen Shu."
Shen Shu's tone was somewhat smug and happy, "Master, look, I was right. With me, you wouldn't be blown down the mountain by the wind."
Ye Yunlan: "..."
He is not a paper man, how could he be blown down the mountain by the wind
He replied, "Let go."
Shen Shu didn't let it go, and said, "The wind is still strong, wait a while."
Ye Yunlan: "The more you go up, the stronger the wind will be. Could it be that you still have to support your teacher up the mountain?"
Shen Shu: "It's not too bad."
Ye Yunlan reprimanded: "What style is it?"
Hearing Shen Shu laugh lowly, he finally stopped making trouble, and let go of his hand and said, "Master, please rest assured and continue walking, and your disciple will follow."
The mountain road was dangerous, Ye Yunlan decided not to care about him.
The two continued to walk up. Suddenly, a scream came from behind, Ye Yunlan paused, but did not look back.
Shen Shu looked back and saw that the mountain road was covered with red maple and blood, and a group of disciples panicked.
He smiled playfully, and said, "I thought that the master is always benevolent and kind, and he once would rather sacrifice himself to save many of his fellow disciples, but this time he will definitely lead them to the mountains and solve their problems. Yes."
Ye Yunlan: "I'm not a good person."
In the last life, the ghost rakshasa was full of blood, and the doors and windows of every house he passed were closed, and his name could stop children from crying at night.
Even though he had worshipped gods and Buddhas, had done many good deeds, and even fought the calamity with his own body, he could not become a good person praised by the world.
"Since you want to go up the mountain to capture the treasure, you must be prepared to die at any time when you encounter danger." Ye Yunlan said.
Shen Shu: "Master and 'I' are a little different from what I imagined."
After a pause, he said again: "But I think such a master is more real and cute?"
The truth is understandable, but what is cute
Ye Yunlan: "...Don't be distracted. Watch the road."
Shen Shu long should be.
There was a commotion behind the two of them.
"There must be something weird on this mountain road. Just now, Senior Brother Zhao Jing just took a step outside and disappeared without a trace! Senior Brother Rong, do you know what's going on?"
A disciple hurriedly pulled Rong Ran's sleeve and asked.
Rong Ran frowned, recalling the contents of the ancient scroll and thinking, and finally came up with a clue from the mountain road painted by the jagged cinnabar.
"There is indeed a problem with this mountain road. It seems that there are formation traps on it. It needs to be seen and avoided in order to pass smoothly."
"What about Senior Brother Zhao? Looking for Senior Brother to fall into the formation, isn't it..."
The disciple looked anxious.
Rong Ran: "Junior Brother Lin An, don't worry, let's search on the spot to see if we can find the location of the formation, and then rescue your senior brother."
Although Lin An was anxious, he could only nod his head.
Someone next to him with sharp eyes saw Ye Yunlan and the two of them on the mountain road, and said, "Since there is a problem with the mountain road, how can Junior Brother Ye and the two walk so far away?"
Rong Ran's eyes were slightly deep, and after thinking for a moment, he said warmly: "The traps of this formation are not omnipresent? Maybe they just didn't touch the prohibition organs because of luck."
It's okay if he didn't say that, someone said: "No, I just remembered that the two of them started the mountain road just now. Senior Brother Rong, how can there be so many lucky coincidences in this world, maybe they have already got this The map of the treasure land, but did not tell us in advance, but thought about going up the mountain ahead of time and directly swallowing the treasure?"
Lin Xiaowan was listening, but she couldn't help but stand up and said, "Nonsense! Where is Junior Brother Ye greedy for treasures, have you all forgotten about the fact that he rescued so many of his classmates in the secret realm? There is danger, but this journey has been too smooth for us, and we have gradually taken it lightly. Just now we went up the mountain and everyone was still joking and chatting, and we accidentally fell into danger, so do we still blame others?"
Lin An: "But what did Senior Brother Zhao do wrong? Besides, it was agreed that the disciples of the Tianzong would help each other and advance together, but the two of them seemed to have nothing to do with each other! Even... even a reminder in advance! "
"Junior Sister Lin, treasures move people's hearts, but people's hearts are unpredictable. It's true that Junior Brother Ye saved you, but how long ago was that? Maybe he never thought about saving people at that time. Catch yourself." said a thin-faced and thin-browed disciple next to him.
Its name is Lu Qingshu, who has been fond of Lin Xiaowan's senior sister Yin Ling for many years, but she has been rejected by Yin Ling many times. Later, Yin Ling's pursuit of Ye Yunlan was known to all the disciples of Tianzong, and Lu Qingshu had long held a grudge against him.
Lin Xiaowan blushed with anger: "Lu Qingshu, you!"
"Everyone, don't be arrogant. Everyone knows about the Shenhuo incident back then. I believe that Junior Brother Ye is a human being, and he is definitely not the kind of person you all said." But Rong Ran warmly persuaded, "It's just that he received that The apprentice is a bit rebellious by nature. He has no one, he values things, and he doesn't allow others to meddle in the slightest. At that time, most of the conflicts between me and Junior Brother Ye were caused by his apprentice. Alas. Junior Brother Ye was injured. After that, his body was weak, and he had to take care of his apprentice in everything, and then he had to rely on him for everything..."
He didn't say any more, just sighed.
Although Rong Ran was protecting Ye Yunlan's reputation, Lin Xiaowan always felt that something was wrong, but she didn't know much about what happened back then, so she could only stand there puffed up.
Rong Ranji had a deep hope, and everyone quickly listened to his words and criticized Shen Shu.
Rong Ran's brows and eyes were slightly curved, and after listening for a moment, she clapped her hands and said: "Okay everyone, let's not quarrel. Now that someone has come up, we can't delay here. However, since I am from the same family, we should have the same family. The righteousness, Junior Brother Zhao has to be rescued. In this way, we might as well divide into two groups, one group stays here to rescue Junior Brother Zhao, and the other group goes up the mountain to explore the road. After the danger on the mountain road is finished, let us return to this place. Is it good to lead everyone here up the mountain?"
"Senior brother arranged very well."
"I'm waiting for my consent."
"agree."
"Okay, then it's settled." After that, Rong Ran looked around, "The mountain road is full of dangers, and the life and death of pathfinders are unpredictable. I am a senior brother, take the lead, and whoever wants to go with me, just follow me up the mountain. "
"Okay!" The disciples responded in succession.
The loud sound reached the mountain, with a shadow rushing into Shen Shu's feet. He tilted his head and listened, suddenly smiled and said: "Master, in your opinion, do I have a rebellious nature, and I have no one?"
Ye Yunlan: "Why do you ask that?"
Shen Shu: "Just a little? I'm curious about what Master thinks of me."
Ye Yunlan was silent for a while and said.
"You had a good personality when you were young."
Shen Shu: "What about when you grow up?"
Ye Yunlan: "It became more and more noisy after that."
Shen Shu: "Master doesn't like to make a fuss?"
Ye Yunlan remembered that after the death of Demon Lord in the previous life, he walked alone in the world. He once sat alone in the courtyard for three years.
The flowers were all over his chest, and he could faintly hear the voices and noise outside the courtyard. It was clearly separated by a wall, but it seemed to be very far away from himself.
"It's all the same," he said.
Shen Shu wondered, "Everything is the same?"
Ye Yunlan: "Lively or quiet, it's actually the same."
Shen Shu narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the back of the person in front of him.
The thick snow-white fox fur was draped over this man's thin body, and the frost and snow of the maple leaves flying over the sky seemed to crush him and shatter his teeth.
It seems farther than before.
he thinks.
Not quite.
It can't go on like this.
Could it be his way of chasing people
He thought for a while
Perhaps, this person likes to be more exciting
Always have to think again.
But after seeing Ye Yunlan lift a step up the stairs, he suddenly stopped.
Shen Shu also stopped. When I looked up, I saw a platform a few feet away. On the platform was a tree with a fruit on it.
The fruit is like white jade, and it looks similar to a peach, quite round and lovely.
"Zhaoyueguo?" Ye Yunlan was a little surprised.
According to legend, the zhaoyue fruit is only born in the land of eternal night, and it is hard to find in the world. Its color is like jade, its shape is like a peach, eating it can prolong life for thousands of years. In the book, it is said that "there are peach in the sky, and the moon in the world", which is the fruit.
He was not the first group to go up the mountain in his previous life. Such rare treasures have already been picked by others, and he never expected to see them in this life.
Shen Shu said positively: "Master wants that fruit? I'll go and pick it up."
Ye Yunlan: "The mountain road is dangerous, don't act rashly."
Shen Shu: "Master, don't worry."
Hearing the clanging sound, Shen Shu threw the sword with skill.
The afterglow sword was first inserted into the fruit, and then it took the fruit and spun around and returned to his hand.
Shen Shu smiled and said, "Master, what do you think of my sword skills?"
Ye Yunlan: "...It's still dexterous." After a while, he said, "Eating the fruit will be good for your future cultivation."
Shen Shu disagreed, "Master is in front, how can I eat alone? The mountain road is long, Master has been walking for so long, I think I'm already thirsty, why don't I eat some fruit to quench my thirst."
Ye Yunlan: "The moonlight fruit can prolong life."
Shen Shu: "But at the same time, it is also a fruit that quenches thirst."
As he spoke, he broke Baiyu Peach into two, divided it in half, and passed it around Ye Yunlan's shoulder.
Ye Yunlan didn't want to take it, but Shen Shu had already put the fruit to his lips. And after the spirit fruit is opened, the aura of the flesh is visibly dissipating.
He didn't want to waste it, so he lowered his head and took a bite.
The taste is very sweet and crisp.
After chewing and swallowing the pulp, it turned into warmth and flowed into the body, and even the mountain wind, frost and snow were no longer so cold.
So I took the fruit and ate it in small bites.
Shen Shu also deliberately slowed down.
He ate half of the peach in his hand with great taste, and felt that the only half of the peach was especially sweet and delicious, and suggested: "Master, after we go back, why not plant a peach tree in the yard? ."
"... When you have free time, you can look at the peach blossoms under the tree, make peach wine, and make some peaches to eat. It's very good. Master, do you think it's good?"
As he spoke, it seemed that even he was amused.
Before he was in the magic palace, he had never had such a leisurely idea. There were only interests and fighting in the magic way. But now I suddenly feel that this kind of life, maybe... is also very good.
Ye Yunlan took the last bite of the peach, said "um", looked at the distant place, and said lightly, "It's good."
