To Raise a Soul

After removing the big rock in his heart, Yu Zhen felt his soul was relieved. It just so happened that the designer of the leisure hall project sent a new design draft, so he restrained his mind, put all his energy into it, and devoted himself to it. In the next work.

The new design draft submitted by the designer was modified according to Yin Yan’s ideas. The triangular shape was retained, but it became a round drop shape. The overall area was also reduced a lot, leaving a large area around for greening .

The observatory is still retained, but the top wall at the top of the spherical center under the "water drop" has been replaced with an adjustable transparent glass material.Looking down from a high altitude, the glass wall is like the reflection of light on water droplets.

"beautiful."

Yu Zhen took the renderings of the design draft and looked at it again and again, his eyes were full of love, he turned his head to Yin Yan and said, "I heard that the designer is still very young? His design is so spiritual, really amazing."

Yin Yan, who was looking through the documents, looked up at him upon hearing this, and with a movement of his hand, a pagoda-shaped magic weapon appeared in his hand.

Yu Zhen's gaze moved over immediately, and then his eyes lit up, he dropped the design draft and approached and said, "What is this? It's so beautiful."

The pagoda is indeed very beautiful. Its appearance is different from the conventional pagoda. It has only three floors. The arc of the whole body is very round and lovely. The whole body is made of various gemstones. sense of amazement.

The cutest thing is that there is actually a lifelike little lion squatting on the spire of this pagoda. It also looks like a round and silly lion cub, with its head tilted slightly, making the liver tremble.

Yin Yan glanced at the design draft he threw on the sofa, and felt comfortable. With a movement of his hand, the palm-sized pagoda became the size of a fingernail, motioning him to stretch out his hand, and said: "This is the space I made when I first learned how to refine weapons. Magic weapon, you have to go through nothingness to store and retrieve objects in space, which is very inconvenient, so this is for you.”

Yu Zhen stretched out her hand obediently, staring at the smaller pagoda in his hand, which became more and more cute after shrinking, and said: "The work when I first learned how to refine weapons should be very commemorative, isn't it good to give it to me..."

Even though he said so, the outstretched hand did not withdraw.

"The tongue is not the heart."

Yin Yan patted his outstretched hand and said, "Not this hand, but the other."

Yu Zhen was a little embarrassed to be told that he was on his mind, and obediently changed hands, and no longer pretended to refuse.

Yin Yan held his hand, pulled out the red rope on his wrist, fastened it to the pagoda, and said: "There are still some gadgets in the pagoda, you can take a look at it later, you can throw the things you don't want to nothingness, let nothingness revenue space."

The warmth generated when the two of them clasped their hands disappeared as soon as it rose. Yu Zhen glanced at the red rope around his wrist, then at Yin Yan's beautiful hand, touched the pagoda, and asked casually, "Listen?" It is said that powerful cultivators like to establish sects and recruit disciples, what about you? Do you have your own sect, and how many disciples have you accepted?"

As soon as the question came out, Yin Yan's gentle and leisurely aura dissipated instantly. Although his expression was still calm, Yu Zhen was keenly aware of his short-term depression.

"I'm not great."

Yin Yan lowered his head, picked up the document again, and replied: "There is only one apprentice, and there can only be one."

Yu Zhen didn't expect to hear such an answer, she was a little dazed, touched the red string on her wrist, and took a look at him seriously flipping through the documents, suddenly felt a little sour in her heart, her mood sank, and she gave a low response After finishing the topic, he turned around and walked back to the sofa to sit down, picked up the blueprint to cover his face, and was in a daze.

There is only one apprentice, and there can only be one.

Although Yin Yan led him into Taoism, helped him accumulate merit, taught him the method of cultivation, and did all the things a master would do for an apprentice, the other party did not plan to accept him as an apprentice.

In fact, before this conversation, he had never thought of becoming Yin Yan's apprentice.

But I didn’t get up, I didn’t get up, and now I suddenly know that I will never have hope and opportunity to obtain such an identity, and it is a lie to say that I am not lost and sad.

There is already an irreplaceable person in the position where Yin Yan can take care of him as a matter of course and stay by his side with peace of mind.

……so envious.

His straight back slowly bent, and he leaned back on the sofa.

Someone who can make Yin Yan believe that he only accepts one apprentice in his life must be excellent.

Anyway, it is definitely better than myself with a broken soul and body.

There is only one... May I ask, who in this world would not want to monopolize a certain position next to a certain person and obtain the favor that that position can obtain?

Yin Yan is so good, he must be very happy to be his apprentice...but I don't have this hope anymore.

That's right, although he and Yin Yan's destiny is connected, but they get together, in the final analysis, it is to survive together.

The two are in a cooperative relationship, and they didn't have a deep emotional foundation and a solid kinship relationship before, and since the two met, Yin Yan has been taking care of him.

I seem to be too presumptuous and self-willed in front of Yin Yan recently, and my life is going smoothly, and it feels so good to be guarded by someone, so I become greedy unconsciously, wanting more, wanting to test the other party's bottom line Where, I want to have a more reasonable identity, and stay by the other party's side confidently.

He used to think that for him and Yin Yan, it would be the best ending to complement each other's souls and separate to have their own new lives.But thinking about it now, I just feel that separation is really a cruel thing.

Carefully moving the design draft away, he watched Yin Yan turn over the file, indulged his desire a little, and thought silently.

It would be great if he could also become the other party's apprentice, then he could confidently stay by the other party's side and never leave.

"What are you thinking?" Yin Yan raised his eyes suddenly and asked softly.

Yu Zhen came back to his senses, and couldn't help saying, "Yin Yan, if you only want to accept one apprentice, then, do you want that apprentice? Although my soul is incomplete and my cultivation qualifications seem to be bad, I am looking for acquaintances rather than students." , what do you think of me?"

Yin Yan put down the document, it was probably an illusion, Yu Zhen felt that he smiled.

"No, you're too stupid."

Yin Yan answered categorically, then lowered his head and picked up the document, very ruthlessly.

"..."

Yu Zhen looked at him, still looked at him, and kept looking at him. The little disappointment and worry in his heart suddenly disappeared, and he became a little angry. He got up and walked over to take the document in his hand, holding his breath and said: "Stinger I'm going back to the apartment, you go to the construction site alone!"

After speaking, he turned around and left, and deliberately threw the removed documents on the sofa.

boom.

The door of the study was closed.

Yin Yan raised his eyes to look at the door. After a long time, with a gesture of his hand, the documents on the sofa returned to his hands, and a chuckle sounded: "Void, follow him."

The white cat appeared, meowed obediently, and walked out through the door while hiding its figure.

As soon as Yu Zhen came out of the study, he regretted it. Going to the construction site was a job, and he refused to go if he said no. It was too much, and he was too sorry for Yin Hexiang's previous expectations of him.

...And just now he couldn't help being presumptuous at Yin Yan again.

Annoyed, he hooked the red string on his wrist, and after realizing it, he hurriedly pulled his sleeves to block the red string, looked back at the study door, hesitated for a moment, went back to his room, took his coat, got up and walked out.

I haven't gone to the pot to feed the flowers today, so, let's go to the pot to see it first, and come back as soon as possible after watching it.

Seeing that he was about to go out, the driver at home greeted him and said that he could drive him.

Yu Zhen thought about it, and didn't ask him to send it. She took the keys of another low-key black car at home, and drove out by herself.

When the car turned onto the main road, he couldn't help but reflect on it again.

Look, look, it's only been a while, and he's already gotten used to the life of picking up and dropping off cars, and having to drive when he goes out.

There are buses and subways outside the community, but he didn't think about it at all.

And these ridiculously expensive clothes on my body, I still felt uncomfortable when I first wore them, but now they are very casual.

It is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal.He's fallen, so fallen.

After separating from Yin Yan and leaving Yin Yan's life circle, now that he is raised like a rice bug, he will be beaten back to his original shape soon.At that time, I and Yin Yan will be in the sky and the earth, and they will probably never meet again.

make money!

He suddenly fixed his gaze and gripped the steering wheel tightly.

Make big money!Then try to be nice to Yin Yan, even if you can't be an apprentice and grandson, then go back to the original idea and treat Yin Yan as a family member!

Yin Yan was so kind to him, so good that he didn't want to be separated from him at all.That, then he is also kind to Yin Yan, double the kindness, so good that Yin Yan can't do without him.

Ok!That's right!

He affirmed himself vigorously, seeing that the red light in front of him just turned green, he just felt that this was the relationship between himself and Yin Yan that was about to turn around, so he took his foot off the brake, and at the right time, he passed the traffic light smoothly.

And then... bang.

A van rushing to the red light suddenly came out from the side, he couldn't dodge it, and was obliquely wiped by the other side.

His eyes widened in fright, and his head froze for two seconds after the emergency stop. In the rearview mirror, he saw the policeman coming over from the sentry box blowing his whistle. The honest man caught a cold in the panic of his first mistake, and instinctively took out his mobile phone. Dial Yin Yan's phone number, and after connecting, he said: "Yin, Yin Yan, I got into an accident, a car accident..."

Yin Yan in the study held his breath when he heard the words, put down the documents and got up without saying a word, "Don't be afraid, I'll be right there."

The van and the black car stopped on the side of the road together. A large piece of paint on the front side of the black car was scratched off, and a large scratch was left on the front of the van, and the skin was still a bit dented.

The driver of the van was a middle-aged man, accompanied by a young man around Yu Zhen's age.

The responsibility came out soon, and it was completely undisputed that the van was solely responsible.

He pressed the tight line to overtake another car at the intersection and tried to grab the red light. Yu Zhen was driving normally and there was no problem at all.

"How is it possible! I just changed my normal way, and he suddenly rushed out to rush. Why is it entirely my responsibility? Traffic police, you can't see that he is rich and drives a good car, so just go to him and bully us ordinary people. "

The middle-aged man was not convinced, and immediately shouted when he heard the result.

The traffic police saw a lot of people like him, and opened a list and said: "Everyone is equal before the law. It is your responsibility and your responsibility. If he has money, he will not get it from me. Okay, cooperate and don't block the road." , affecting traffic."

Seeing that the tickets were opened, the middle-aged man became even angrier. He didn't want to confront the traffic police. Seeing that Yu Zhen was a young man, he scratched his neck and scolded: "Why do you drive! Did you just get your driver's license! You have money! It’s amazing, do you know that driving this kind of car on the road is an invisible threat to our little people? Why don’t you do charity if you have money! Really, who are you!”

Yu Zhen's living environment in the past twenty years was relatively simple, and he had never seen this kind of person who made a mistake but beat him up. He was angry when he was said, but he didn't know how to get back. He was racking his brains for words. The old man's voice sounded from behind him, with the momentum like a rainbow and the sound like a bell.

"What's the matter with you, if you know your mistakes and don't correct them, you will be beaten. What kind of man are you! The man next to you is your son. If you set an example for him like this, you may not be afraid that he will drive like you just now at the intersection in the future. , also had an accident? Besides, people’s money, people drive whatever car they like, the road belongs to your family! If you want to do charity, do it yourself, don’t be kidnapped by morality!”

Yu Zhen looked back and saw a gray-haired old man standing there with his hands behind his back, with a serious expression on his face. When he turned his head to look over, he gave him a domineering look of "Don't be afraid, I'll come".

The middle-aged man was immediately blown away by this rant, rolled up his sleeves and was about to rush forward, blushing with excitement: "Who are you cursing! You bastard, dare to curse my son, I'll beat you to death!"

Yu Zhen hurriedly stood sideways in front of the old man, with a straight face, and said, "Don't do anything!"

"Oh, I have a bad heart. Take a look, comrade policeman. This man threatened me. Oh, oh, my heart hurts. He must be angry that something happened to me. He must pay for the medical expenses."

The old man suddenly covered his chest in pain, his body staggered, and he looked like he was about to faint.

Yu Zhen took it seriously, and hurriedly reached out to support him, raised his hand to help him along his chest, and said anxiously: "How are you, grandpa? Have you brought any medicine? Don't get excited, don't get excited, take a deep breath."

"Okay, stop making trouble!" After the traffic police ticket was opened, he walked up to the middle-aged man to block his view, frowned and said, "If you make trouble again, follow me to the police station, take it! You should lose money, you should pay I apologize, I am too old, I don’t know how to set an example for young people, don’t make trouble anymore!”

The middle-aged man wanted to say more, but was pulled away by the young man beside him, so he shut up, snorted coldly with a dark face, gave Yu Zhen a hard look, cursed in a low voice, and stopped making trouble.

Seeing this, the old man on the other side immediately stood up straight, didn't cover his chest, and didn't cry out that his heart was uncomfortable. He grabbed Yu Zhen's hand with a smile and said, "Look, you have to use a rogue's method to deal with a rogue. , you still have a lot to learn. The so-called meeting is fate, the weather is good today, and the day is auspicious. I fell in love with you the first time I saw you, and you must also treat me the same way. In this way, I happen to be short of an apprentice. Do you want to—"

"No need."

Yin Yan heard such words as soon as he arrived, strode forward and pulled Yu Zhen's hand back from the old man's hand, and said to Yu Zhen: "Don't let anyone hold your hand casually, the Taoist family can pass your hand." Palm prints are your destiny, so be careful."

Taoists?

Yu Zhen was stunned and took a closer look at the old man, only to find that the other person had the same peaceful aura as his grandfather, and when he looked closely, there was also a faint golden light of merit on his body, recalling what happened just now and what the old man said, a little Let's take a look back.

"So you helped me, and you grabbed my hand, you saw that I... er, I'm a colleague?" Still want to count his horoscope?

Seeing Yu Zhen's foolish look of being deceived and fooled, the old man was a little embarrassed when he was exposed for his little tricks, and his few conscience and shame rose up, and he explained: "Don't get me wrong, I will help you, purely Seeing injustice, I draw my sword to help, after I help you, I see that you have good aptitude, and you have a heart of love for talents, so you want to accept disciples."

It turned out that he wanted to accept apprentices.

Yu Zhen believed it very easily, and felt that the old man's behavior was a little cute. He turned his head to look at Yin Yan, changed his mind, looked at the old man and replied, "Thank you for your kindness, but I already have a master, so I'm sorry."

Yin Yan lowered his eyes to look at him when he heard the words, and unconsciously restrained his breath a little.

"Is there a master?" The old man was a little surprised and glanced at Yin Yan. Although he felt that his aura was a little strange, he really didn't look like he had a cultivation base, and his appearance was too young, so he kept it conservative. Thinking about him, he looked back at Yu Zhen's golden light that almost blinded people's eyes, and sighed: "That's right, it's impossible for you to have this kind of merit without the master. Can you be bold?" Let me ask you, who is Xiaoyou's teacher? The old Taoists who have some ability in Huaguo basically know each other, maybe they are old friends."

Yu Zhen smiled and shook his head, and replied: "My master doesn't go out often, and he's not very famous, so you probably don't know him."

Yin Yan looked at the smile on his face, his calm eyes waved away, with a little tenderness, he adjusted his cuffs silently, walked to his side, and stood side by side with him.

"Tell me, what if we know each other? To be honest, old man, when I was young, I also liked to go out, and I have seen many reclusive Taoists." But the old man persisted in asking, showing great concern for Yu Zhen's teacher. .

Seeing that he couldn't be fooled, Yu Zhen glanced sideways at Yin Yan who was beside him.

Yin Yan straightened his back even more, raised his chin slightly, and let out a soft sigh in his heart, showing a little helplessness.

Although he felt that accepting Yu Zhen as his apprentice before he recovered his past life memories would be suspected of taking advantage of others, but since he wanted to, then...

"It's not considered an official master. My grandfather is a Taoist priest and has his own small Taoist temple. In the countryside of H Province, most of my understanding of Taoism comes from him."

Yu Zhen looked away and answered, not noticing Yin Yan's opening and closing of his mouth and his slightly groggy movement when he turned his head to look over, and added: "My grandfather's Taoist name is Qingxu, which has the same name as the Taoist temple where he lives."

Qingxu? Province H?

Could it be Qingxuzi?

The old man's expression froze, and he looked Yu Zhen up and down in disbelief. His heart felt really uncomfortable now, and he was bouncing around so fast. He took a step forward and wanted to grab Yu Zhen's hand again, but was blocked by Yin Yan .

"Excuse me, but old man, this is not the place to talk."

Yin Yan gestured to the passing vehicles and the middle-aged man who was pestering the traffic police, took Yu Zhen's hand and led him in, then extended his hand to the old man: "Thank you for helping Yu Zhen just now, I am his Lover, Yin Yan."

"Huh, huh? Oh, you're welcome, you're welcome." The old man still couldn't recover, and he held his hand politely. He couldn't help but look at Yu Zhen who was blocked by him. What did he think of? The excitement faded away slowly, he frowned slightly, and suddenly bid farewell hastily, turned around and mingled with the crowd to leave.

Yu Zhen couldn't react in time, and watched his figure disappear, turning his head to look at Yin Yan with confusion.

Why did you leave suddenly?He hasn't formally thanked him yet.

Yin Yan realized something, glanced at the direction the old man was walking away, flicked his finger, and drifted towards him with a sense of consciousness.

With Yin Yan by his side, the middle-aged man strangely stopped entanglement, and quickly cooperated with the traffic police to deal with the accident. His attitude changed 180 degrees, and his honesty was unbelievable.

After discussing the compensation and subsequent car repairs, Yin Yan was ready to leave with Yu Zhen.

The middle-aged man's son suddenly stepped forward and called out hesitantly, "Yu Zhen? Well, are you Yu Zhen? Yu Zhen from H University majoring in gardening?"

Yu Zhen stopped when he heard the words, turned back to look at the young man, looked at him carefully, found that he didn't recognize him, nodded and said: "I am indeed studying at H University, and my major is correct, but you are..."

"It's nothing, it's just an alumnus, I, I met you in school." After the young man got an affirmative answer, his eyes suddenly dodged. After answering vaguely, he grabbed his father, turned around and left in a hurry.

Yu Zhen frowned, not understanding why he had such a reaction.

Is there something wrong with myself?

He raised his hand and touched his face, suddenly realized something, looked sideways at Yin Yan, then at the car he drove and Yin Yan's car, then looked down at his clothes, and smiled wryly.

Compared with the self who was so gray and simple in college, he is really not right now.

"Don't worry about other people's eyes, you are fine." Yin Yan walked to his side and raised his hand to straighten his scarf.

Yu Zhen looked at his slender fingers dancing in front of his eyes, and suddenly felt itchy in his heart, turned his eyes away by turning around, and replied: "I don't care... let's go, go to the construction site, I'm sorry for delaying you for so long. "

Yin Yan glanced at his fingers, before he walked to the side of the car he was driving and opened the door, he said: "It's okay, get in the car, the driver will take care of the rest."

Yu Zhen watched his natural movement of opening the door, buried her face in the scarf and let out a shallow sigh, and bent over to get into the car.

On the way to the construction site, Yu Zhen took out a design drawing of the leisure hall to look at, and took out his mobile phone from time to time to calculate something with the computer, without talking to Yin Yan.

Yin Yan has been paying attention to him silently, and finally couldn't bear it when he was approaching the construction site, and said, "You..."

"What?" Yu Zhen asked without looking up.

Yin Yan organized his words and said, "If you want to be a teacher..."

"Poetry? What poem? You want to write a poem?" Yu Zhen finally looked away from the blueprint and looked at him suspiciously.

"...No, it's nothing." Yin Yan turned the car into the construction site silently, and said after turning off the engine: "We're here, get out of the car."

Yu Zhen got out of the car without saying a word, and moved quickly without hesitating, as if there were germs in the car.

Yin Yan: "..."

Suddenly, I felt that this kind of behavior of leaving quickly and running away from someone was a bit familiar, as if someone had done this before.
