The little boy trembled when he heard this. He laughed so hard that he couldn't breathe. Tears burst from the corners of his eyes. He shouted: "Wang Dagang... No, I call you Li Cuihua. No, no, no, Zhang Tiezhu! And..."

Zhong Duyu leaned down, pretending to be embarrassed, and said with drooping corners of his mouth: "Speak nicely."

"Tsk. Without teasing." The little boy was so frightened that his heart was beating fast. He originally wrapped his arms around Zhong Duyu's neck, but now he pinched him. "Tell you, my name is..."

"Remaining hatred."

...

In the next three months, Zhong Duyu never saw the crane. Instead, he was accompanied by Yu Hen.Because his father never found him, he was unwilling to leave. He told Zhong Duyu many stories about the outside world, the big house, and the flying monks.

"You don't know, the sky is full of monks flying with swords, and they look like shooting stars at night. When I was a child, I thought they were shooting stars, and then I made a wish to them, but my father scolded me."

"You can't even tell the difference between a monk and a shooting star. It's really embarrassing..."

"I won't mention it anymore. There is also a sword that splits the mountain and the road is eternal. There are many silks and satins in the market outside, and there are many interesting things. If you go and have a look, you might be interested in rattles."

Zhong Duyu was constantly amazed when he heard this. He was cooking a roast chicken. He put a piece of meat into the opponent's bowl and said, "Is it so good outside?"

"...Not good." Yu Hen was munching on meat, but suddenly he became depressed: "There are endless practice lessons every day, so strict... The expectations are too heavy, I can't breathe."

Zhong Duyu blinked. He didn't quite understand the other party's complicated emotions. He wanted his father's love but was also afraid of his father.

But... the crane hasn't come back for a long time.

Zhong Duyu felt panic for the first time. In the past, she had been separated for three days at most, but she went to participate in a beauty pageant.

Just when he couldn't help but think wildly, the crane came back, but with a faint trace of blood on his body. His eyes were very sharp. When he saw the outsider, his voice was cold for the first time: "Who is he?"

Yu Hen quickly swallowed the chicken in his mouth. He had only heard that Zhong Duyu had a crane as his mother, but he was still surprised to see it with his own eyes, because the monster could talk and at least had a high level of cultivation.

Yu Hen stuttered: "I, I, I..."

Zhong Duyu jumped directly on the crane and said happily: "I thought mother wouldn't come back..."

The crane's fierce aura faded, and he stretched out his wings and patted his head, but his tone was still not good, "How can you let humans in? It's very dangerous."

"Eh?" Zhong Duyu was confused: "But mother, you often let humans feed me..."

"The past is the past, and now the Eternal Secret Realm will be opened soon, and the competition among monks outside is very fierce." Xianhe said in a low voice: "Your mother and I were almost torn apart by the disciples of the Canghua Sect, plucked out the hair, and put them into the alchemy. In the furnace. It didn't work, but I was chased for three months, and I narrowly escaped death."

Xianhe said something Zhong Duyu couldn't understand, but he intuitively said: "They are too bad!"

Yu Hen's face froze, and he accidentally knocked over the bowl. He chewed the chicken in his mouth and apologized quickly: "I mean it!"

"I feel uncomfortable in my stomach! I'll leave first--"

Then Yu Hen ran away in a hurry, no matter how much Zhong Duyu shouted behind him, it was useless, and then he doubted himself: "I didn't poison..."

Xianhe narrowed his eyes and looked at Yuhen who ran away, and said to him: "Stay less contact with humans. What if I lead you to harm?"

"But it sounds really fun outside...and he's been pretty good in the past three months. Now that I have nowhere to go, can I keep him?" Zhong Duyu raised his eyes and looked at the crane carefully.

I saw that the crane was still wandering in the sky, not knowing what to think, and ignored what he said, saying: "From now on, you will learn the immortal method from me."

"Immortal magic...?" Zhong Duyu was confused.

The following period of time could be said to be a devil's training, and Zhong Duyu had no time to rest.Xianhe was very strict and showed no mercy at all. He taught him the silver thread technique, and he also pulled out the white feathers on his head and gave them to him.

But Yuhen still didn't go home. He hid behind the tree and watched every time. He was also a 12-year-old child, and it was the first time he felt the same.

That night, Zhong Duyu came out to catch his breath and squatted beside the pool, with tears in his eyes and bruises on his hands.No one ever told him that he had to learn immortal magic...

Yu Hen had been sleeping in the big tree hole he had dug out by himself. Every time he could feel the crane noticing him, he was very wary at first, but in the end he simply ignored him.

He sneakily came to Zhong Duyu, shook his head and said: "You are so miserable... You only started learning when you were 12 years old. How can you achieve it overnight? This is a rhythm that forces you to ascend to heaven where you are."

"What word?" Zhong Duyu replied angrily.

Yu Hen chuckled and said, "Actually, I know how to cast spells more or less. It's up to me."

As he said that, he performed the hand gesture several times in front of Zhong Duyu, his face turned red from holding back, and he pointed at the water as if he was lighting a fire.

Zhong Duyu: "?"

Finally, after who knows how many times, a ball of water surfaced.Yu Hen puffed up his face, his eyes widened and he swiped left and right seriously, and finally a water splash appeared.

It's just plain in appearance, but you can see it.

But it didn't last long before the splash dispersed.

"Ah..." Yu Hen scratched his head regretfully, "It seems there are benefits to studying more."

Zhong Duyu became interested, raised his eyebrows, imitated Yu Hen's gestures and formulas, and pointed to the water.

Splashes appeared in an instant, and there was no need to paddle. As Yu Hen exclaimed, the entire pool emerged with dazzling splashes.

At night, it emits water-like blue light, forming the most gorgeous scenery.

"You! You... are really talented! You shouldn't be in the mountains! You have to go outside - you can definitely join the Canghua Sect!" Yu Hen was so excited that his hands were shaking, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Zhong Duyu was wrong. , shaking his shoulders.

Zhong Duyu shook his head when he heard this: "The Canghua sect hurt my mother, I won't go, I don't want to leave the mountain."

"But! You are a human -" Yu Hen stood up and walked back and forth, "Did you know? You are a human! Sooner or later you have to return to a normal life. The me you see may not stand out among the crowd!"

"And your mother is a crane and is classified as a demon clan! How can a human have a demon mother..."

Zhong Duyu interrupted with a deep voice: "She is still my mother."

"Okay, go to sleep. I have to continue practicing tomorrow."

Then he dispersed the spray that would have bloomed all night.The delicate water petals fell back into the water and dimmed in the pool again.

Yu Hen was speechless. He looked at Zhong Duyu's angry back. He patted his head in annoyance and bit his thumb: "I'm impatient...Father has urged me to go back several times...but he really shouldn't be buried in this place." It’s from the mountains.”

No one noticed that the crane stood silently on the tree all night, staring at the ground quietly, taking in everything that happened below.

"Outsiders."

a few months later.

Zhong Duyu is very proficient in the practice of immortality. He has been practicing sleeplessly. Because he had a conversation with Yu Hen last time, he was a little angry and deliberately avoided him.

As a result, I became more and more immersed in practice, but I really ignored the other person.

The crane is often not in the cave, and he doesn't know where he is going. Every time he comes back, he brings some blood stains with him. It becomes more and more serious and he loses many feathers.

Every time Zhong Duyu anxiously asked it what happened, the crane always seemed indifferent and changed the subject.

This time when Xianhe came back, he told Zhong Duyu a piece of news.

"I sent the human child home. His family said he would never appear in the mountains again."

Zhong Duyu was stunned. It was the first time he had quarreled with it.

"He is my only human friend in the mountains besides flowers, birds and beasts! Mother, how could you just send him away without telling me?"

It was obvious that he deliberately ignored the other party, but when he was sent away, he could not even see her for the last time...

The crane listened silently, then suddenly coughed violently, and his body was shaking. He tried his best to cover it with his wings, but he still coughed up blood and stained his feathers red.

Zhong Duyu was so frightened that he immediately lost his temper and stepped forward anxiously: "Mom! Are you okay..."

As a result, the crane flew out without looking back. No matter how Zhong Duyu cried behind him, he never looked back.

I don’t know where I went or what I did.

The next time I came back was a year later.

Zhong Duyu is 13 years old, and his temperament has become more and more calm. He guards the cave alone, practices immortal magic every day, and swears that he will never make his mother angry again.

When he saw that the crane was back, he felt happy in his heart, but he also complained because the other party left without saying goodbye and didn't tell him anything.

The crane landed on the ground and almost staggered. His voice was a little hollow, but he tried his best to stay cheerful and said: "Come, mother, take a look."

Zhong Duyu quickly came to it, much taller than before, and almost caught up with the crane.

The crane watched quietly, hugged him with its two bald wings, sighed and murmured: "Oh...how long can I support you..."

"What do you mean?" A bad premonition flashed through Zhong Duyu's heart. He had been too sensitive this year.

Xianhe patted his head and changed the subject: "Come, let me see how your practice is going."

After that, Xianhe accompanied Zhong Duyu every day. Although he was still strict, something became more and more wrong. Once she said, "Mother was originally afraid that you would not like the mountains after seeing the outside world."

"All creatures hope to find the same kind. Even mother is no exception, she likes to find bird sisters. Unfortunately... the demon clan has always been at the bottom and has been cannibalized too much."

"Mom has figured it out and can't restrain you anymore. You can go outside. But remember, don't become bad."

Zhong Duyu was really uneasy. He seemed to understand, but he didn't seem to understand. It seemed like something bad was about to happen.

Two years have passed. This time Zhong Duyu is 15 years old. He is taller and taller, and his facial features are sharper. He can already fly in the air, looking at the distant city in the distance and feeling the smell of fireworks coming and going.

He wanted to try to go out to the mountains today and tell Xianhe his decision, but when he came back, Xianhe was nowhere to be seen.

There were only two white feathers on the stone table and a letter.

"Go. Don't look for mother, mother is gone."

Zhong Duyu: "..."

He forgot what he was feeling at that time. He could only say that it was very bad. He once again experienced the feeling of being abandoned.

The crane is really missing.

It is said that a crane has been seen in the ancient forest in the Everlasting Secret Realm.

In the next month, Zhong Duyu searched for it like crazy, but there was no clue at all...

He thought he made it angry again, or that he wasn't strong enough, so it stopped coming back.I practice sleeplessly every day, hoping that I can enter the Eternal Secret Realm and find it.

Just when he was confused, Xuan Ling appeared. He looked at Zhong Duyu and smiled: "He is a good young man. Come with me."

Zhong Duyu stood up holding a branch, facing the outsider coldly and said: "I won't leave."

Xuan Ling: "You want to find that crane?"

"It's my mother." Zhong Duyu said firmly.

Xuan Ling waved his whisk: "Joining the Immortal Sect is easier than finding someone with your own strength."

Zhong Duyu was lifted up by a force and couldn't resist at all. The person in front of him was too powerful. He was taken away by Xuan Ling and left the mountain where he grew up and came to Canghua Sect.

"Although you didn't start practicing Taoism until you were 15 years old, it's not too late. You are extremely talented and everything is within your reach."

Xuan Ling directly accepted him as a closed disciple, practiced swordsmanship, and also met the little boy from his past.

Resentment.

He turned out to be Xuan Ling's only son and the future leader of the Canghua Sect.

...

Qin Yao was listening quietly and drinking tea, but he almost stopped squirting when he heard the words.But when he heard that Xuan Ling actually had an only son, he was really shocked, "Why doesn't anyone know?"

Zhong Duyu pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "Because the master is very strict with him. Only when he is strong can he be known. He has been locked up in the back mountain to practice, and he will be thrown into the ordinary disciples without any mercy." .”

"No one in the Canghua sect regards him as a young master."

"He is like an ordinary disciple, starting from the bottom. However, his talent is not high, and the master ignored him many times, and even deliberately gave him many troublesome tasks, including chopping wood. This led many disciples to think that the master The door doesn’t like him.”

"And made things difficult for him many times."

Qin Yao could imagine what kind of torture an "ordinary" disciple who had no talent and was not taken seriously would suffer.

No wonder the little boy ran away from home.

He also repeatedly advised Zhong Duyu to join the Canghua sect, perhaps because he wanted to have a good friend with him so that he could feel relieved.

Qin Yao hesitated and said, "Then, where is he now?"

"died."

These two words hit Qin Yao's heart directly. He opened his mouth and suddenly didn't know what to say.On the contrary, Zhong Duyu looked normal opposite him. I don't know if he didn't care, or he had forgotten about it.

Zhong Duyu: "He committed suicide."

"He said he couldn't bear to be treated differently."

"He once wanted me to take his place and kill him."

"I didn't agree, and the next day, he hanged himself."

"I... lost a very good friend."
