Nan Chan

A new bed was added to the room, and it was leaning against the window, making the room quite crowded.Seeing that it was already three o'clock, Cang Ji ate something carelessly, rinsed his mouth and rolled on the couch.

Jing Lin didn't feel sleepy at all, he had never slept in the same room, so he looked sideways at the edge of the bed, and only chanted a hundred spells in his mind.The moonlight flowed on the mat like water, and Jing Lin was immersed in this pool of water, gradually forgetting that there was someone behind him, and was completely absorbed in the word "Jinjin".

His spiritual sea was born behind his true form, and it was shaped like wind and mist around the pharynx spring.At first glance, it is difficult to see the bottom, only to see the cold glow of Yanquan, standing on his chest without tilting.

Cang Ji looked at Jing Lin from behind, saw that the back of Jing Lin's neck was smooth, white and refreshing, and only smiled silently.He watched Jinglin on the Mingjin Platform of Nine Heavens Gate for a few days, and he knew the appearance of Yanquan by heart. Apart from the demon swordsmanship, it was more interesting for him to treat Jinglin.Such a person with a sharp sword hidden in his chest, who would have expected him to be soft when hugged?

Ming Jintai was not the first time Cang Ji saw Jing Lin.

A year ago, Jing Lin had beheaded the tiger-head owl, the great demon in the northwest.This owl is located in the swampy wasteland in the west of the Northland. He was originally a general under the Emperor Cang who resisted the sea of ​​blood, but because of some stupid things that are still unknown, he plundered and killed the people in the three cities of the Northland.Jing Lin went alone with a sword in his hand, beheading the tiger-headed owl in front of the sea of ​​blood, and drawing out the demons to shake the sky.When Emperor Cang arrived, he saw the white robe sealing the sea with his sword, and countless huge waves came to an end, and there was no demon overstepping in front of the Yanquan sword.

Emperor Cang asked the left and right: "Who is this person?"

The little demon shrank his neck and replied: "The emperor doesn't know him, he is the invincible Jing Lin of the Nine Heavens Gate!"

A few months later, Emperor Cang was invited by the Buddhist altar to go to Zhinan ancient temple to listen to the discussion.He was seated next to the Buddha, and when he drank some tea, he caught a glimpse of a small stone man sitting cross-legged by the lotus pond, fishing with chopsticks, drowsy and nodding in the sound of chanting sutras.

Emperor Cang's heart skipped a beat, seeing it sitting for a while from the corner of his eye, he suddenly threw away his chopsticks and jumped up, leaning on the edge of the pool to catch fish in a cup.There are only a few finger-length red carps in the pool, and the early budding Sanskrit sounds are open to one's heart. They circle the small cups of stones one by one, making it go deeper and deeper, and finally a "gudu" falls into the pool, holding the lotus Ye shook his head of the water.

Emperor Cang suddenly asked the true Buddha: "With a little vitality, can a stubborn stone be reborn as a human?"

The real Buddha smiled and didn't answer, just said: "The sword is hidden in the chest, and the truth is hidden in the way."

"Where to find the way?"

"The Tao is in the gods, and the Tao is in the world. Everything you see and hear is praiseworthy." The real Buddha sipped tea and laughed.

Emperor Cang leaned back with a sneer and said, "Where can I cultivate the Tao in the world?"

"Break the back and stand." True Buddha said.

Emperor Cang asked: "So, my doom is coming?"

"The emperor has seen the details and is thinking about it." The real Buddha nodded.

Murderous intent flashed in Emperor Cang's eyes: "Who is it?"

The real Buddha clapped his palms and laughed loudly, threw a Buddhist bead into the pool, and said: "The water in the eight hundred lotus ponds in Southern Zen is destined to be undetectable. If the emperor wants to find out, it's better to walk around and find out."

Emperor Cang suddenly got up, but listened to the advice of the real Buddha.

"The calamity of a good fate is unpredictable, and the emperor's mind is unpredictable. Rather than finding it out, it is better to let it go."

"Since he is my catastrophe, he is my life." Emperor Cang disappeared in the mist, "I am the only one who can be called emperor in the world. I can't give this life, so I can only kill him first to settle the matter. "

Emperor Cang went along the pool, and in the curling Sanskrit sound, he saw the Buddhist beads sinking into the water, and went south along the current.At the southernmost point of the lotus pond, a small boat stops among thousands of flowers.There are two people sitting opposite each other on the boat, one is an old monk who teaches scriptures and explains Taoism, and the other is a man in a sky blue wide shirt.

The old monk chattered endlessly, boring and tasteless.The man exudes concentration, sits and listens quietly.That day's blue sleeves flowed into the pool, cutting out a sky, stained with lotus fragrance.Jing Lin looked cold, neither impatient nor sleepy.The surface of the pool is like a landscape, and the waves reflect the sky. Looking at it for a moment, there is a feeling that he is sitting upright among the clouds in the clear sky.

Yanquan is both Jinglin and Jinglin is also Yanquan.The purest nature casts the first sword in this world, and the purest rain melts the first color in this world.He has no external objects in his heart, so his color is not vulgar.

Emperor Cang looked through the fog, and was infatuated.

Chi Jian suddenly climbed up the little stone figure, who sat behind the old monk, imitating the old monk's appearance and shaking his head.

The old monk read more and more slowly, couldn't help coughing late, and said to Jinglin: "But tired?"

The villain suddenly turned back into a stone with a "bang", and the Buddhist beads in his hand rolled to Jinglin's hand.Jing Lin looked as usual, and bowed to the old monk to express his apology.

The old monk said: "The poor monk knows that the scriptures are tasteless, but he can't do anything about it. My son is serious about practicing swordsmanship, and he should avoid impetuousness. After returning home, he must read it every day."

Jing Lin pointed at the Buddha beads and said: "It seems that I have a good relationship with Buddha, so you don't have to worry about it, Master."

The old monk said: "My son is not close to ordinary people. Although he has a long cultivation base, his heart is lonely. The most heartbreaking thing in this world is not evil spirits, but the word 'love'. The heart cultivates the way of swords, seemingly transcending everything, but in fact it is like walking on thin ice. One mistake, one severance of thought, one broken heart will lead to eternal doom, and it is difficult to talk about gods and demons."

Jing Lin said: "Father and son's heart, brother's righteousness, it's all love."

"That's it." The old monk looked at Jing Lin, "Fang said that the young master still doesn't understand the world."

Jing Lin was ignorant, but said: "If the word 'love' is a robbery, just cut it off."

The old monk gave a long sigh, stopped responding, raised his hand to Jing Lin, turned around and went ashore.

Jing Lin was still sitting there withered, the Buddhist beads held between his fingers had dried up, and he suddenly felt a chill.The stone recovered with a "snap" and sat next to Jing Lin.

Emperor Cang looked at it for a while, then retreated silently.

Cang Ji withdrew his thoughts and saw that Jing Lin had turned around and was looking at him.He took advantage of the opportunity to show an apologetic look, and said, "Did you bother you?"

Jing Lin stared at him silently.

Cang Ji was confused, and thought that he had neither revealed his body nor scales, but he still fastened the buttons in Jing Lin's eyes, and said, "Farewell to that day, I haven't asked your name yet."

Jing Lin said: "Jing Lin."

"Long drought meets nectar." Cang Ji said solemnly, "No wonder I feel happy physically and mentally when I meet you."

Jing Lin said: "That night I..."

"You lost money while drinking with others, I picked up the gold and returned it to you." The gold bead was still stuck on his waist, and Cang Ji didn't even blink his eyes, "Then I took you to rest for a night, and you went back by yourself."

Jing Lin frowned: "I can't remember at all."

"It's like drinking with others." Cang Ji said, "You don't drink too much, in the future, except for those close to you, you should not drink lightly."

Jing Lin asked: "Dare to ask your name."

"Don't dare to be, my surname is Cao, single-character warehouse. I became a monk halfway, and learned some spells in the north. My cultivation base is not good, I haven't built a spiritual sea, and I haven't transformed into my true self. Because of insufficient talent, I gave up the idea of ​​cultivating Taoism. Now go The sale and purchase of some spirit stones and spirit herbs is for a living." Cang Ji rested his arms behind his head and said eloquently.

"Brother Cao." Jing Lin called out.

Cang Ji almost laughed out loud, he kept his face in the dark, and said in a steady voice: "How much older is I than you, why don't you call me brother?"

Jing Lin thought to himself that he had already accomplished his cultivation and had lived for many years. Wouldn't it be messed up to call his brother?

But Cangji thought to himself that when I was born in Canglong, even your father could call me daddy, and it would be seniority for you to call me brother.

Cang Ji sighed, turned around, turned his back to Jing Lin and said: "But I am not cultivated, so I am wronged to ask you to call me brother. You are welcome, as long as you and I have similar names."

Jing Lin had been helped by him many times, and he could not help opening his mouth when he heard his depression.

But Cang Ji said: "Tomorrow morning, I will find a place to live. If you also go south, you can..."

"Brother." Jing Lin whispered, and paused after reading.Even his brothers in his family had never called out like that before, and for a moment his throat seemed to be pinched.Jing Lin buried her head in the quilt and said in a muffled voice, "It's okay to live together, let's go to sleep."

Cang Ji couldn't get enough of this "brother", he felt that this kid was really different inside and out, and at the same time wondered why he didn't teach him to call him brother earlier.

The person in the water splash was knocked into a muffled hum, if he said these two words again, even though he was copying them in his arms, Cang Ji would still be able to make him tremble and become weak.

What a pity, what a pity.

The next day, when the sky was bright, Jing Lin was feeding the horses.His horse is not an ordinary horse, it has a green coat, but it can ride water and climb clouds. It was stuck among ordinary horses for a night, and now it is pacing and trotting around Jinglin.

Cang Ji copied a basket of warm thin-skinned buns, Jing Lin washed his hands, and stood next to the green pine potted plants to share with him.Cang Ji saw him sucking the hot juice, his thin lips were burnt red and oily, and remembered something indecent.

Seeing Cang Ji staring at him, Jing Lin couldn't help but look back.He eats silently, even when he sucks the hot juice, he can eat without making a sound, quietly and quickly.

Cang Ji pretended to be calm, and kept the appearance of this confidant elder brother tight.He picked a steamed stuffed bun, put it in his mouth, chewed it slowly, and when he finished eating, he said: "I didn't tell you in detail last night, my brother, I brought a batch of herbs to the south. The Huaishu city in the south was attacked by evil spirits a few days ago." The chaos caused countless deaths and injuries, and it is the time when we urgently need spiritual grasses and elixir. I am here for this purpose, I wonder where you will go?"

Jing Lin wiped his hands and said, "I'm on the same journey with my brother."

Cang Ji said, "Are you going to Huaishu City too?"

Jing Lin didn't doubt that he was there, and said: "Locust tree city was originally set up under the jurisdiction of Fenghuang in the south. Recently, Fenghuang moved to the east. The south has become as cold as ice, and it is time for Jiutianmen to contribute."

Cang Ji smiled immediately and said: "It's a coincidence, you and I go south together, and the left and right are also helping each other."

Seeing the sincerity in Cang Ji's eyes, Jing Lin's actions are not sloppy, his words are steady, his heart is righteous, and he looks more like a "brother" than Li Rong, he can't help calming down, nodded and said: "Yes."

When Cang Ji led the horse, Jing Lin handed out the porcelain bottle from his sleeve.When Cang Ji took it, his little finger swept over Jing Lin's palm, and before Jing Lin could recover, he sniffed the porcelain bottle openly and honestly.

"What is this?"

"The elixir at home." Jing Lin said, "Since my brother wants to go south to donate the elixir, he lost sixty gold beads last night for no reason. It's not justified. Although this elixir is not as good as friendship, it can be exchanged for something. If you meet a mortal , It is also possible to bring the dead back to life.”

"It's so precious." Cang Ji picked up the plug, only shook it under his nose, and said with a smile, "It smells like tofu and is full of spiritual energy. It seems to be a fairy treasure. Wouldn't it be too wasteful to give it to me like this? "

Jing Lin got on his horse and said, "It's worth it."

Cang Ji was smiling, sniffing out something.His five senses are far superior to ordinary people, even ordinary monsters are incomparable.This medicine is indeed overflowing with fairy spirits, and one can discern it closely, but one can vaguely catch a speck of blood smell.

But Cang Ji didn't show any color, and returned the hand he wanted to be polite to his sleeve.He smiled unabated, got on the horse, and said to Jing Lin: "How can you not be moved by how you treat me? Now that you are brothers, there is nothing to hide. My family lives in the north, and there is no father, no mother, and no one in the family." Wife, children, and relatives are really lonely. Brother——" He tutted lightly, "It's not a good name, why don't you call you Jiulang?"
