Nan Chan

Cang Ji's illness came and went quickly.Two days later, Jinglin bid farewell to Yining, determined to go south, and refused to give up the southern route easily.

Yining's face is pale, he used to be the guard in the east, now he is transferred to the west to meet the urgent needs.This person's status is transcendent, not under the emperor's father and eight sons, and directly belongs to Jiutianjun.He holds the power of impeachment and supervision, and everyone in the Nine Heavens Sect is not afraid.

After hearing Jinglin's farewell, Yi Ning only drank tea and said nothing.After a long while, he said: "There are only thirteen cities left on the southern line, among which Xuanyang Town is suppressing the big monster Shuran. If you insist on going south, you must kill Xuanyang City before the blood wave covers it. If it is broken, he will come back to this world and cause harm to one side."

Jing Lin said: "The four cities line the front line, set up a wall to block it, and there are nine gates guarding it, and it can block it for a few more years."

Yining shook his head slightly, and said: "Even if it can be blocked for a few years, it cannot solve the root cause. The sea of ​​blood is pouring in from all directions. If we cannot find a way to drive away the sea of ​​blood as soon as possible, Zhongdu will fall into the hands of evil spirits sooner or later."

"Is the east side in danger?"

"If it wasn't for the critical situation, why would your majesty send Phoenix away in a hurry? Now that you are suffering from hunger inside and facing a sea of ​​blood outside, no matter where you put your efforts, you will lose sight of the other." Yining said.

The two fell into silence together. They had a bad relationship in the past. It was nothing more than Yi Ning's dislike of Jing Lin's arrogance.However, now that Zhongdu is in crisis, Yining has been tossing and turning for days, his enthusiasm has been half-cooled, and after much deliberation, he can only confide a little bit to Jinglin.

"The Sacred Heart of Your Majesty is unpredictable. It has become more and more unpredictable recently, and all the strategies I proposed to resist the south have been rejected. The children in the sect are now mixed, and the loyal ones have been sent to guard the line, and most of them died. I returned at the end of the west. When evacuating, you can see disciples who sacrificed their lives in order to protect the people in the deserted cities that passed by." When Yi Ning said this, he suddenly stood up, wandered a few steps impatiently, and said, "Why? Could it be that he wants to abandon his pawns? Bao Shuai, leave the main force in the middle ground, and then fight against the sea of ​​blood?"

Seeing the window covered with hoarfrost, Jing Lin felt a little chill.He said: "If you enter the sea, you will die. This move is tantamount to hitting a stone with a pebble."

The pool of lotus under the window of Yi Ning was decayed and covered with frost. He raised his eyes and looked at it, feeling sad and desolate spontaneously.It's just that he couldn't talk too much with Jing Lin, so he closed the window in vain and said, "You take this trip seriously."

Jing Lin understood, turned around and left.

Frost and dew stained his clothes, Cang Ji had just recovered from a minor illness, and felt uncomfortable in his wet robe.He hadn't appeared in the water for several days, so he was squatting on the stake, looking for ants to vent his anger.The ants fell, but there was still a thread around his little finger, holding a small stone figure, squatting down on the opposite side of him to poke the ants.

The two poked the ant's nest to collapse and scattered in all directions.The crown of stones and grass was wet, and there was nowhere to wipe the mud all over his hands, so he could only raise his head and ask Cang Ji for instructions.

Cang Ji put his hands together and shook his little finger.The stone jumped over the ants and climbed up Cang Ji's stake.Cang Ji touched his chest all over, not willing to use Jing Lin's, but pulled out a silk handkerchief that had been worn for an unknown amount of time, and who gave it to him, it looked wrinkled, and it was embroidered with double butterflies wearing flowers.He wiped his hands on the stone with this veil, and seeing that the stone kept supporting the grass crown, he simply folded the veil a few times, wrapped it around the stone's small head, and tied a knot against the grass crown.Stone is wearing a kerchief, like a thief.

Cang Ji couldn't hold back, and laughed loudly.Shitou shook his head, seeing that the crown of grass would not fall off, he was not annoyed, but rather liked it.

Cang Ji raised his head and saw Jing Lin standing with his horse, he got up and jumped off the wooden stake, saying: "Is this the way to go?"

Jing Lin gave him a horse and said, "Right now, you can reach Qingpu City in the evening." After that, he glanced at Shi Shi again, "Spirits like to cause trouble, so throw them away."

"Why do you need to meet children?" Cang Ji got on the horse and stuffed the stone into his chest, only his head was exposed.He said, "I'll keep an eye on it, and I won't tell it to mess around."

Jing Lin frowned and looked at Shi Shi, and got on his horse after a while, as if he was very impatient with Shi Shi.

"Why did you provoke him?" Cang Ji smiled, and blew at the stone, "Hold on tight, I'll play with you."

Qingpu City is not far from Xuanyang City, but there are three mountains in between, it will take some time to go around.Jing Lin was walking along the horse road, but the heavy rain at night actually washed away the road and blocked it for a day.The next day, the heavy rain continued, so they had no choice but to climb over the mountain and go directly to Xuanyang City.

The mountain road was winding, and the two of them walked in the rain, meandering forward.The mountains were wet and slippery, and the horse couldn't fly into the sky after all, so they could only dismount and seek shelter from the rain temporarily.

Jing Lin's clothes can be dried at any time, but Cang Ji can't.He gathered firewood and started a fire in the cave, and simply took off his clothes with Jing Lin on his back, and hung the clothes to dry with his bare arms.Jing Lin sat next to him by the fire, Cang Ji had a muscular half body, even several times stronger than Jing Lin, he usually hides it with his clothes covered, so he never showed the mountains and rivers, but now he is exposed naked, which is very eye-catching.

Dry food was drying on the fire, and Cang Ji took care of the fire, saying: "A few days ago, I saw that Dongjun, holding a folding fan, but no sharp weapon. I don't know what he is cultivating?"

"It turned out to be Shura Dao." Jing Lin's fingers were warmed by the fire, and he said, "Dongjun was originally a blood sea demon, but he still had a fierce 'evil appearance'. He used his red eyes to distract his mind, and killed Buddha food with malice. People. Later, the real Buddha sat down by the lotus pond in the Southern Zen and chanted Sanskrit sounds for 49 days. Chun Suling is his current Dao."

"I see." Cang Ji seemed to smile, and asked again, "What is Li Rong?"

"The way of Shura." Jing Lin rolled his hands and said, "Li Rong's nature is full-bodied, calm and unrestrained, and he is the best candidate for the way of Shura. Because he slays demons and eliminates demons, under the dual thoughts of murderous desire and strong will, he can still Stay true to your nature."

"I do know about you." Cang Ji said, "The way of the sword to eliminate demons."

Jing Lin's eyes drooped slightly, and his hands were slightly shaded by the firelight. He paused for a long time before saying: "I am a sword in my true nature, and I was born to slay demons."

He looked dull, neither excited nor depressed.

Cang Ji heard the heavy rain pouring outside the cave, and had a panoramic view of Jing Lin's expression.He broke open the hot pie, handed half of it to Jing Lin, and said: "You are away all year round, and you don't hear about the world, so you don't know. There are countless monks in the world, and you are the most legendary. It seems that I have no talent." , People who do not seek to make progress are also familiar with your deeds."

Jing Lin said: "What you hear is false, it's not me."

Cang Ji ate the pie in a few mouthfuls, and said: "It's really not the same, but there are similarities. How about this, I have already told you about my life experience, why don't I tell you what I know about you now. If it's wrong, you can tell me. In this way, all I know is the real you. "

Jing Lin bit the cake and nodded.

Cang Ji wiped his hands, propped his knees and said: "I heard that you worshiped under the seat of Jiutianjun at the age of 13. When you knelt and knelt down, there were waves of pines and waves in the sky, and you achieved your true self in that instant. Where were you from in the past? A little monster in the mountains what?"

"It's not a monster." Jing Lin spread out his palms to show him, "I don't remember where I came from, but I have been wandering in Zhongdu, without father and mother. When I was eight years old, I was fighting with dogs and entered Nanchan Temple by mistake. I entered the lotus pond and was rescued by a Zen master. When I was 13 years old, the real Buddha dusted off my mortal robes and showed me the way to the north. I walked all the way north, and finally went up the mountain to Jiutianmen, where I met my father."

Cang Ji pinched Jing Lin's fingertips, pulled his palm to his eyes, and saw a faint lotus pattern in it, if he hadn't shown it to him, he would not have noticed it on weekdays.Cang Ji looked at it for a moment, then suddenly grasped it, and said with a smile: "There is a lotus in the palm, it turns out that Jing Lin used to be a little monk! What happened after meeting Lord Jiutian? I heard that your brothers are divided into factions and fight fiercely, which is very unseemly. It's just us Jing Lin is so dumb, he doesn't look like that kind of person."

Seeing that Cang Ji was upright, Jing Lin was embarrassed to withdraw her hand, but felt that the place where the palms touched was hot.He said: "Brothers have different personalities, it is inevitable."

"I want to be honest with you." Cang Ji held his hand and said solemnly, "Why use such words to prevaricate me again?"

Jing Lin said: "I never fooled my brother."

Cang Ji said: "Did they make you feel wronged?"

Jing Lin lowered her eyes and blinked slightly, and asked back: "What is 'grievance'? My father taught me ethics and righteousness. Many things cannot be regarded as grievances if they don't hurt my life."

Cang Ji sneered, and only said: "Jiu Tianjun treats you with the kindness of nurturing you, but his vision of picking his son is good and bad, just like him."

"When I entered the Nine Heavens Gate, I became a sword in the world." Jing Lin said, "Having sharpened the sword for several years, all suffering is nothing but experience. Although my father disagreed with me, he still treated me with great kindness. "

"But let him take advantage." Cang Ji seemed to be joking, "If I had known earlier, I would have taken that little monk from the south home. From now on, you and I will be good brothers. How could we be short of these few things? Years?"

Jing Lin's little finger retracted involuntarily again, but it wasn't a lie, but a feeling that he didn't understand.Cang Ji felt that his fingertips were scratching at his heart again, and couldn't help but hold it tighter, his back was almost covered with sweat, thinking that this kid was indeed my doom, he would make him thump every day, Her heart was rubbed into a puddle of water, wishing she could turn into soft fingers, wishing to hold him in her arms, turn around a few times, and listen to him open his mouth to say something.

Cang Ji turned over Jing Lin's palm, put his own palm side by side with it, and showed Jing Lin.Jing Lin took a closer look, and saw the lotus pattern emerging from the palm of his hand, with quivering petals and dripping dew.Seeing the ripples in Cangji's palm in response to the sound, water waves swayed out, and a small golden red koi jumped out with a "plop", flinging out some water droplets.When the koi enters the water, Youyin disappears.Looking at the palms of the two, they returned to normal, except that there was a koi mark on Cang Ji's palm.

Jing Lin raised Cang Ji's palm, suddenly smiled, and said: "It's so amazing, I actually found something else from the magic painting technique that day, and made this small realm."

"From now on, if you are a lotus pond oyster, I can also be a lotus pond fish." Cang Ji saw the joy on his brows. This smile was like melting ice and snow. Not only did his heart burn, but even his greed turned into a sea of ​​endless desires. , were all imprisoned in this person's square-inch palm, making Cang Ji almost bow his head, and branded a kiss on the palm that was squeezing his heart.

Seeing him pause, Jing Lin called out.

Cang Ji said: "...This is a good brother."
