Anecdotes with facial paralyzed subordinates

The man's hand was no longer his usual temperature, it became very hot, so hot that Yan Ke's skin began to ache.However, he did not shake off the man's hand.

He thought of the time when the man held his hand just now.At that time, because these hands were fused with fire jade, they could kill people with just a casual touch.

"No." Yan Ke said.

"Really. That's good." The man lowered his eyes and said softly.His eyelashes are long and thick, and when the lids are covered, they cast deep shadows on his cheeks.If it were his usual smooth and fair skin, he would definitely look good.

However, at this time, the blood vessels were surging with dark red, protruding one by one on the man's cheeks, intersecting with the projection of the eyelashes, like a dense spider web, looking strange and terrifying.

"Can you do me a favor?" The man held Yan Ke's hand and whispered.His voice had become so tiny from the pain that it was almost inaudible.

"What is it?" Yan Ke asked.

"I just forcibly separated the fire jade from your soul." He coughed, spat out a mouthful of red wax, and said, "but at that time the fire jade had already swallowed part of your soul. If you continue, your soul will be completely destroyed by the fire." Jade invades. Time is running out, I can only separate part of my own soul, combine with your soul, and expel Huoyu."

The man spoke a long paragraph, and then took a few deep breaths. "But because I gave you a part of my primordial spirit, the fire jade has nothing to rely on, so I took this opportunity to melt into my primordial spirit. Now it wants to capture my consciousness. Although I have been practicing for a long time, But it is still difficult to compete with it. I am afraid that it will eventually be dominated by the fire jade and become a walking dead."

He opened his eyes, staring at Yan Ke with a pair of blood red eyes.

"And you are Qingyu." He said, "Sapphire itself can concentrate the mind and restrain the soul."

Yan Ke couldn't help but tense up.He has read books about sapphire in Yuhuzhuang countless times.He knew that using sapphire to make alchemy, if someone swallowed it, that person's skill would increase greatly and his soul would be stabilized.Ordinary soul control techniques can't shake him.

This man just saved me and now regrets it.Yan Ke thought.

He doesn't want to die, he wants to use me to restore himself.He probably wanted me to turn into sapphire, and then swallowed my alchemy, so that he could imprison his own soul and not be swallowed by the fire jade.

I don't want him to die.It's useless for me to live.I am the only one in Yuhuzhuang.Even if I survive, I will end up becoming nothing more than a ruthless sword.he thinks.

It's better to let him swallow it, and it will be settled once and for all, and it will save you from being tortured by guilt in this world.

"How can I help you?" Yan Ke said.His hand clenched tighter and tighter in the man's palm, ready for everything.

"Is it really okay?" The man looked at him.

Yan Ke nodded.

The man looked at Yan Ke and smiled slightly. "Thank you." He squeezed Yan Ke's fist.

"Then come and hug me."

Yan Ke was stunned.

"Regret?" The man coughed and blinked.

Yan Ke stayed for a while, then walked up to the man.The man was sitting on his knees, his eyes were parallel to him, he stretched out his hands, and easily wrapped his arms around the man's shoulders.The man's body was extremely hot, but it was still within Yan Ke's tolerance.

The man breathed a sigh of relief as if he had been redeemed.He rubbed his cheek against Yan Ke's neck. "As expected, sapphire is good." The man sighed, and then gently stroked Yan Ke's hair: "If you think I'm too hot, you must tell me."

Yan Ke hugged the man a little at a loss. "Is that... alright?" Finally, he couldn't help but ask.

"Okay." The man's breathing seemed to be gradually steady, "This is good. Thank you."

Yan Ke hesitated for a moment: "You don't need to eat me?"

The man's breathing stagnates on Yan Ke's shoulder, and then leaves Yan Ke's shoulder.He raised his head and looked at Yan Ke. Yan Ke noticed that although his eyes were still red, the irises had returned to their normal size and color.

"Don't look at my current virtues, I'm pretty good." The man smiled, and gently scratched Yan Ke's nose, "I don't need to take sapphire. What I need is to use your body temperature to concentrate, so that The fire jade is completely combined with my primordial spirit and can be used by me."

Yan Ke nodded with a half understanding.He freed a hand and touched the tip of his nose.

Why is he scratching my nose?Yan Ke thought.

The man looked at Yan Ke, narrowed his eyes and smiled softly, then hugged him in his arms. "It will be ready soon," he said softly, "my disciple will be here soon."

He lowered his head and put his forehead on Yan Ke's shoulder: "I can't let them see me in such a mess."

Yan Ke hugged the man like this, I don't know how long it has passed.He felt the man's body temperature drop gradually, and eventually return to normal warmth.

A few indigo figures flew from the horizon.The man raised his head, his expression was very tired, but his eyes had turned to normal color. "Thank you." He touched Yan Ke's head, stood up, and looked in the direction of the person coming.

"When my disciples arrive and explain the matter, I will go back to my sect." The man saw those figures approaching and said.He turned his head slightly and looked at Yan Ke: "What about you? Is there a place to go back?"

Yan Ke looked behind him.There used to be the entrance to the cellar, where 37 swords were kept.Looking around now, everything in the field of vision has turned into scorched black, and the cellar is buried under the waste bricks, which can no longer be distinguished.

"Go back to Yuhuzhuang." Yan Ke said.

The man's eyelashes fluttered slightly. "But... there is no one there anymore." He whispered, "Aren't you lonely?"

Yan Ke shook his head. "Maybe decades, maybe hundreds of years, there will always be new jade swords born from the mine." He said, "I'll just wait."

The man lowered his eyes. "I'm sorry," he said, "it's because of me...you..."

"It doesn't matter." Yan Ke said lightly.He watched where the horizons met.It was the first time he had seen such a scene when the red sun was rising, and there was a faint light of daylight. He grew up under the high walls of Yuhuzhuang.

"If a jade sword wants to become a sword, it needs to absorb the aura of heaven and earth. Only after the body dies can the sword come out of the chest." Yan Ke said, "Their ending will always be like this. But it's just a little earlier."

"Wait." The man said in surprise, "The jade sword has changed from a child to a sword. Does the child have to die? Then the sword..."

"A sword is a sword. At that time, the primordial spirit in this body will dissipate, without thoughts or emotions." Yan Ke said calmly, "When the jade sword is immature, it can change into a child's posture, but because Children are more conducive to cultivation.

"After all, we are not human beings. We come from the jade, and we will go away with swords in the end."

"That is to say..." the man said slowly, "You...can't grow up. When you become an adult, you die."

"You can say that." Yan Ke said.His tone was flat, as if he was talking about other people's business.

The man looked at Yan Ke, with a distressed look in his eyes. "Have you ever thought about such a life?" He leaned down and said to Yan Ke, "I will not die when I become an adult. Instead, I will always live in this world. Like a normal person, eat delicious food and go everywhere Travel, see the changes of the seasons, and make different friends.”

"No." Yan Ke said.

"Then how about thinking about it now?" the man said softly, "Would you rather become a sword in the end, or live a good life?"

"...I have no choice." Yan Ke was silent for a while, then whispered.

"Maybe there is?" The man stretched out his hand, picked up Yan Ke, and put it in his arms.

"Don't go back to Yuhuzhuang." He said softly, "You and I can go. Then think about that question carefully."

"The growth of the sword is not something that can be decided by oneself." Yan Ke couldn't help but said, "The jade sword absorbs the aura of heaven and earth and becomes a sword, which is a passive process."

"I know." The man said lightly, "If you don't want to become a sword, I have my own way."

"New swords will be born in the jade mine in Yuhuzhuang. They are dangerous without anyone guarding them," Yan Ke said.

"I have added a charm." The man said, "If someone breaks through the maze and the wind lock, it will be activated the moment he touches the gate of Yuhuzhuang, and the person's head will be destroyed directly. If you are worried, we will You can also go back and visit often.”

"..." Everything has been considered by the man.Yan Ke seemed to have no other choice but to follow the man.

Yet he hesitated.There is smoke from cooking houses in the villages and towns in the sky, and there are a few distant cock crows in my ears. To Yan Ke, everything in this world is unknown.Including this man holding him.

"I don't know." Yan Ke whispered.

The man smiled slightly. "I don't know either." He said softly, putting his cheek against Yan Ke's cold little face.

"But you and I are together, it's never a bad thing."

Yan Ke's heart skipped a beat.

Wouldn't it be a bad thing...?

"Master!" A voice came from beside him.Yan Ke looked over the man's shoulder, and saw that the monks had already landed on the ground and were rushing towards the two of them.

"You are here." The man turned around and smiled slightly at the monk.

"Master." The head monk looked gentle and generous, and now he looked nervous, "Are you okay?"

"It's all right." The man replied. He looked at the burned house, "It's just that I came late. Neither the sword nor the people were rescued."

"It's good that Master is fine." The monk said, "Leave the rest to us. You can go back to the mountain and rest first."

The man did not refuse. "Don't go to the cellar." He instructed, "Clean up this place and the surrounding area, and then you can leave after joining the monks from the nearby sect."

The monks nodded. "Master." Looking at Yan Ke who was being held by the man, another monk couldn't help asking, "This is..."

"New disciple." The man smiled and raised Yan Ke's body with his arms.

Several monks exchanged glances, showing complicated expressions. "This child is not human." The monk looked into Yan Ke's eyes and said, "Master, the Jingming Sect does not accept this kind of disciple..."

"I am the head. I have the final say on the rules of the sect." The man said flatly, "If you can't be a disciple, just be my adopted son."

"..." Several monks were speechless. "Isn't your adopted son enough to cause you headaches?" a monk said helplessly.

"It's okay." The man smiled and turned around, "I've made a decision. You guys do your work first. Come back when you're done."

After finishing speaking, he drew out his saber and placed it under his feet. Just after the sword flew for a certain distance, his whole body turned red and broke into pieces after a while.The man frowned slightly and fell to the ground.

"Because of Huoyu, I can no longer control the sword..." the man murmured. "Forget it." He raised the corner of his mouth and patted Yan Ke's cheek lightly, "Since we can't fly, let's go back, shall we?"

"Is it very far?" Yan Ke asked.

"It's not far." The man replied, "I travel fast, and I can get there in a day. But..."

"Since you have never been out of the village before, let's take a short detour and stroll around before returning to Linshu Mountain." He smiled, "Climb a scenic mountain and go to some lively places." Check out the town."

Yan Ke remained silent, looking into the distance.The sky is bright, and the birds have taken off from the forest.He has already left Yuhuzhuang, and is about to embark on an unknown road with this man.

With all that happened just now, together with the current scene, Yan Ke felt as if he was still in a long dream.

He felt that if he closed his eyes and opened them again, he would return to the high courtyard wall.The shadow of the tree was cast on the book in his hand, he turned his head, and several eight-nine-year-old children were sitting beside him, either chatting or playing.

Yan Ke suddenly felt a twinge in his heart.He bit his lip tightly, and slowly buried his head into the man's shoulder socket.

The man's warm and soft palms covered Yan Ke's back.

"It's all right." The man said softly, "everything will be fine."
