Worst demon cult leader ever
Chapter 23 Different (1)
Sun Qingfeng wiped away the dirt for Jin Lin'er.
The cotton was warm and his hands were cold.
Jin Lin'er was touched by Sun Qingfeng, and woke up from the cold, with sleepy eyes, and asked: "Brother, what are you doing? Are you going to wash me up and throw me into the pot to boil?"
Sun Qingfeng was expressionless: "Master, you wet the bed."
Jin Lin'er opened her eyes, moved her hands and feet back several times, and stared at her crotch, pretending to be calm but couldn't hide her frightened expression: "Impossible! I haven't wet the bed since I was ten years old. Did you... you peed? Don't worry, I won't laugh at you."
Sun Qingfeng: "What are you laughing at?"
Jin Lin'er worried: "Could it be that I'm sick?"
Sun Qingfeng rolled his eyes: "When you are full, you will overflow, don't panic."
"Oh, I know that. I've heard them say that if the young man is like this, it means that he... can have children in the future." Jin Lin'er looked away from Sun Qingfeng, feeling uncomfortable After moving a few times, I accidentally touched his fingers, and immediately dared not move.
Although, Sun Qingfeng's movements were never meticulous, bathing and scrubbing Jin Lin'er was no different from picking vegetables and washing dishes.
However, Jin Lin'er always feels that she has grown up, something has changed unknowingly, and she is rarely embarrassed.
To avoid embarrassment, Jin Lin'er had nothing to say, and asked, "But, if I'm walking on the road, this full, full..."
His face was blushing like he was about to bleed, and his voice was as thin as a mosquito: "It overflows when it's full, so what should I do? Others will see it."
"Of course not!" Seeing his serious appearance, Sun Qingfeng couldn't laugh or cry, "What are you thinking about all day long?"
Jin Lin'er put on her obscene pants: "I don't think about anything, I just think about you. Hey, don't hit me! But why have I never seen you like this?"
Sun Qingfeng: "I have my own way."
Jin Lin'er was extremely curious: "What way?"
Sun Qingfeng glared at Jin Lin'er, too lazy to argue with him, shook the sheet, drove him off the bed, ordered him to boil water, and asked casually, "Did you dream last night?"
Jin Lin'er poured half a basin of water into the pot with a thud, and was so cold by the splashing water that he screamed, jumped up and down, and said with a smile, "I dreamed of you, how about you?"
Sun Qingfeng's breath stagnated: "I dreamed of a fart."
Jin Lin'er looked at Sun Qingfeng in shock, and said earnestly, "Brother, don't keep thinking wildly."
Sun Qingfeng was speechless with anger.
After a lot of trouble, Jin Lin'er was almost late.
Fortunately, Sun Qingfeng walked fast, carried him on his back, moved like flying, and arrived at the east foot of Xifeng in a blink of an eye-although, he said yesterday that he would not help Jin Lin'er.
Entering Yuquan Temple, Jin Lin'er followed the crowd to the east and walked into Wendao Pavilion.
Sun Qingfeng went west alone, and walked to the open-air kitchen in the small courtyard.
There is no plaque in Wendao Pavilion, but there is a pair of couplets hanging outside the gate, and there are eight characters inscribed on it: "Dispel illusions on the screen, and be complete and true".
The attic looks old and old, but when you enter the inside, you will know that it is very spacious and unique.In the building, there are books on the first floor, swords on the second floor, and the chanting room on the third floor for the disciples.
Jin Lin'er saw that there were many treasures on the first two floors, so she ran up to the third floor excitedly, but was surprised to find that the third floor was the most simple - the tile roof on the top, ventilation on all sides, light gauze hanging from the eaves, and 21 on the wooden floor. There are six futons, six in front, and the remaining fifteen in the rear.
Just as Jin Lin'er was about to go in, someone lifted the gauze curtain for him and called him "senior brother".
He was very curious about this, and wanted to chat with that colleague for a while, but he didn't want to just say a word, waved his hand to the convenience, and said "The time is coming", and then with a gust of cold wind, he floated like a cloud. "gone.
"There are only you here, and I am the direct disciple of the sect master. The other fifteen brothers, although they are under the sect master, are disciples who entered the house, and we will teach martial arts on our behalf. The head of the sect teaches." Zhou Xingyun walked up to Jin Lin'er and told him softly, "There is no distinction between high and low in the Taoist sect, but there are rules. Regardless of seniority or seniority, all disciples who enter the room must be called senior disciples."
Jin Lin'er couldn't help blushing, she always felt that she had nothing outstanding at all, and she was lucky enough to be accepted as a personal disciple by Xue Zhengyang, one was luck, and the other was blood.
Therefore, he decided to study hard so as not to embarrass Xue Zhengyang.
All the disciples were out of temper, Jin Lin'er had just entered the attic and didn't dare to play with them, so he could only quietly find a seat near the window from the futon that belonged to his own disciples.
Leaning against the window, you can see the small courtyard where Sun Qingfeng is.
When the morning bell rang, Zhou Xingyun led his juniors to recite the scriptures, saying that "the meaning of reading a hundred times is self-evident", but he did not explain it to them.
After reading the book, everyone ignored each other, meditated and adjusted their breath, and went to "see their own meaning".
At noon, all the disciples did not eat, but talked about scriptures and Taoism in small groups.
After noon, each person, depending on his or her practice, either meditated to raise one's energy, or practiced wooden swords in the courtyard.
Jin Lin'er couldn't calm down, but in such an atmosphere, he didn't dare to make a fuss.
For the first two days, he would ask Zhou Xingyun for advice, but because he saw other people frowning and knew that he was making a noise, he gradually dared not say more.
So after a day, another day, after a month, another month.
The winter snow melts, the spring flowers bloom and fail, and soon it will be the dog days of hot summer.
This year, the amount of blood Jin Lin'er drank increased from five to seven.
Perhaps it was because she meditated every day to cultivate her qi and was able to calm down and concentrate on her practice. Jin Lin'er began to notice the flow of true qi in her body.
Occasionally when it comes to an emergency, for example, the cicada on the tree is about to fly away, and he has no time to catch it, so he shakes his fist anxiously, and if he is not careful, he will shoot a burst of true energy, smashing the tree fork to pieces.
The first time Jin Lin'er encountered this was in Wendao Pavilion, where his brothers were all practicing, and no one noticed him.
But he himself was too frightened, so he ran to the backyard in a hurry, got behind Sun Qingfeng, and said tremblingly, "Brother, brother, I'm damned!"
"What does it look like to be reckless? There is oil in the pot, and you are blind and can't see?" Sun Qingfeng was burning oil, knocked Jin Lin'er away with his arm, glanced at him, and saw that he didn't look crazy, "What the hell?"
Jin Lin'er: "I was catching a cicada just now... I was practicing kung fu. There was a cicada on a tree. I said hello to it, and it flew away, and the branch broke. The ghost has no human shape, like a dark golden streak cloud."
Sun Qingfeng stopped his movements and said in a low voice: "That's not a ghost, don't make a fuss, we'll talk about it when we go back."
Jin Lin'er had always believed in Sun Qingfeng's words, so he immediately calmed down and pulled his sleeves to wipe his sweat.
Although Sun Qingfeng's face was fake, his complexion was consistent with his own.Therefore, this face is also very pale, so it appears that the eyebrows and eyelashes are as black as ink.Although he looks plain, the sharpness in the corners of his eyes and the arrogance in his eyes cannot be concealed.
Jin Lin'er stared at Sun Qingfeng intently, seeing a bead of sweat hanging on his eyelashes, shining brightly in the sun, he couldn't help stretching out his index finger and touching it lightly.
The beads of sweat slid down into Sun Qingfeng's eye sockets.
Jin Lin'er was startled, and leaned forward, trying to blow the sweat out of Sun Qingfeng's eyes, but because he was too close, with a slight movement, his lips stuck to Sun Qingfeng's cheek.
For a moment, he saw Sun Qingfeng's eyes change, like ice and snow melting suddenly, like water boiled slightly hot in a pot.
With a bang, the copper spoon in Sun Qingfeng's hand fell to the ground.
He pushed Jin Lin'er away, turned around with his head down, and urged, "Don't delay my business."
At night, the two returned to the Cumulus Mansion, closed the doors and windows and talked in detail.
Only then did Jin Lin'er realize that it wasn't a ghost that shattered the branch, but the true energy in his body.
In the past, he didn't know the "Golden Phase Divine Art" at all, but now he began to examine the power he carried, and he couldn't help but feel frightened: "Ordinary people, even after decades of practice, may not be able to develop true energy that is visible to the naked eye. I have never done anything before, so I have such genuine energy. Is this technique really so powerful?"
Sun Qingfeng sneered: "The beasts on the ghost side have not been able to cross the White Sea boundary for 200 years, what do you think?"
"That's not what you said." Jin Lin'er shook his head.He began to reflect on the matter of drinking blood and practicing kung fu, recalling the livestock that died in his hands, the more he thought about it, the more he felt terrified.
Sun Qingfeng put his hand on Jin Lin'er's shoulder: "What are you afraid of?"
Jin Lin'er's face was not very good: "In the past, I regarded this magical skill as a burden, which I couldn't discard, so I had to carry it on my shoulders. But I believe that if I don't open it for the rest of my life, it will just be something I can't shake off, but It’s nothing more than a burden to get in the way.”
Sun Qingfeng: "I have told you the truth, you should have known about its evil ways."
Jin Lin'er sighed, took off the magic talisman, and revealed his true colors.
Now, he is seventeen years old, his cheeks are thinner, his childishness is gone, and he is more delicate and handsome.
The only thing that remains unchanged is the pair of black and white, clear and smiling eyes.When he looked at Sun Qingfeng, his eyes were gentle, like water that was too lazy to flow under the warm spring sun.
Sun Qingfeng was a little uncomfortable, and coughed: "What are you smirking?"
"I'm just smiling, not smirking. Anyway, I feel much better with you here." Jin Lin'er felt at ease, and calmly expressed his worries, "When my father first passed on the seal to me, I only needed to Drinking four-in-one blood, now I have to drink seven-in-one. Over time, I don’t realize it, but if it goes on like this, I’m afraid that I will unknowingly become a monster who can’t live without blood.”
Sun Qingfeng: "Why aren't you afraid that the sky will fall and kill you?"
Jin Lin'er: "I'm not, I... can't tell. It's like, we stand on the edge of Qiufeng cliff and look down. The cliff is hundreds of feet high, and you can't see the bottom at a glance. After a long time, you will feel that the blackness The abyss is also looking at us, trying to devour us. I am afraid that I will be self-righteous, unable to control this exercise, and be controlled by it without knowing it.”
Sun Qingfeng seemed to be thinking, but remained silent.
After a long time, he got up and opened the door, and said casually: "How can you predict the future? If you know you will die, why live? You can't just do the right thing and worry about making mistakes. If you know your mistakes, you can correct them. The road is difficult and dangerous, so what is the use of thinking? We have embarked on this journey, and there is no way to retreat, but to die and survive."
"You are already a man, don't be timid and hesitant. Some things have to be carried by yourself, and I can't help you." Sun Qingfeng said, took off his shirt, hung a cotton towel around his neck, and went to the waterfall to take a shower up.
Jin Lin'er cheered up, pondered over what Sun Qingfeng said over and over again, and started his secret trial of "putting death and rebirth" on a whim, trying to overcome fear step by step.
The first step of the trial - to poke a hornet's nest alone.
When in Xinghuagou, Jin Lin'er encouraged Sun Qingfeng to dig out a hornet's nest. The hornet was big, with long and poisonous needles, and even Sun Qingfeng dared not approach it.
Jin Lin'er even believed that Sun Qingfeng could not control the outburst of evil spirit because he was frightened by the hornets, and then came to the conclusion: it is very appropriate to use hornets' nests as a stepping stone to overcome fear.
It's midsummer, and the mountains are lush and full of flowers.
Jin Lin'er recited the formulas of "Inner Alchemy" during the day, and every time he said a few sentences, he couldn't help but glance at the camellia bushes under the attic.
Sun Qingfeng became more and more proficient in cooking. At this time, the ingredients for dinner had been prepared, and he was bored, lying under the shade of the tea tree to cool off.
The sunlight passed through the dense leaves of the tea tree, filtered into white spots, and sprinkled on his face, which was extremely gentle.
Sun Qingfeng noticed Jin Lin'er's gaze, thinking that he was bitten by a glutton and was salivating for nectar.
He stretched out his hand lazily, folded a well-opened white camellia, covered the flower on his mouth, closed his eyes and sucked the sweetness in the flower core, showing an expression of great enjoyment.
Unexpectedly, Jin Lin'er was unmoved, still staring at the bumblebee.
Sun Qingfeng was surprised, picked another camellia, raised his chin slightly, whistled to Jin Lin'er from a distance, and then waved his hand.
call out--!
The flower branch was thrown like a hidden weapon, pierced the wind like a sharp arrow, and stuck on the wooden railing beside Jin Lin'er with a bang.
The flowers kept shaking, and bright yellow pollen sprinkled in the air.
Jin Lin'er only felt that every breath was refreshing and sweet with nectar.
He even wanted to throw away his helmet and armor immediately, skip the secret trial of Lao Shizi, and run down to lie with Sun Qingfeng, bask in the sun, catch bees, and live a day.
Others saw Jin Lin'er giggling at a camellia that appeared on the railing out of nowhere, and they couldn't figure it out. Seeing that his eyes were as narrow as a fox, they couldn't help guessing that the look in his eyes changed.
Jin Lin'er pulled off the flower branch in embarrassment, shook it twice in his hand, and said to the people beside him: "My elder brother gave it to me, senior brother like it?"
The other party ignored Jin Lin'er and sat quietly with his eyes closed.
Jin Lin'er put away his agitation, feeling that the trial would continue.After all, he can't let Sun Qingfeng protect him all the time, he wants to protect Sun Qingfeng.
Zhou Xingyun's five senses were keen, so he easily noticed that Jin Lin'er was absent-minded, and he didn't restrain him just because he believed that he was smart.
However, more than half a year has passed since Jin Lin'er entered Huashan.Most of the disciples who started with him have already obtained permission from the elders to start practicing wooden swords.He was the only one who failed the examination several times and still stayed in the attic chanting sutras and meditating.
Law Enforcement Elder Zhang Qingxuan had inquired with Zhou Xingyun several times, and when he heard about this, he just sighed.
Zhou Xingyun decided to call Jin Lin'er, walked up to sit face to face with him, and asked, "Nian Lang, what are you doing?"
Jin Lin'er hid the camellia behind her back: "I..."
Zhou Xingyun's face is like a crown jade, he is a descendant of an aristocratic family, his temperament is noble, and his behavior is generous, making him feel like a spring breeze.
He picked up the scriptures that were spread out on the small case, glanced at them, and asked, "Which one is the victory of a strong army?"
Jin Lin'er blurted out: "The first battle is to fight back the nameless troubles; the second battle is to fight back the three corpses and ghosts; the third battle is to fight back the myriad methods. This is the way to win."
Zhou Xingyun was quite surprised: "Chongyang Patriarch's "Jin Guan Yu Suo Jue" is no longer a classic for beginners, but you are very familiar with it."
The implication is that he is naturally asking him why you can memorize the difficult classics but fail to pass the inspection of the introductory classics.
Jin Lin'er got close to Zhou Xingyun and said frankly: "I've been reading this book for several days. It's not difficult to recite it, but I still don't quite understand many places. There are too many scriptures in Wendao Pavilion, and I want to read them all. It’s not easy to understand what it means.”
Zhou Xingyun said helplessly, "Nian Lang, do you know what it means to ask questions?"
Jin Lin'er lowered his voice and said, "I thought that asking questions meant asking the teacher, but they don't like asking questions very much, so I don't understand."
Zhou Xingyun couldn't help laughing: "Quanzhen Dao emphasizes the word 'truth'. Practice does not depend on books or talismans. The most important thing is to see one's nature clearly. This is why Wendao Pavilion is 'asking' rather than 'hearing' The reason. Cultivation is to search the heart, not the scriptures."
Jin Lin'er finally understood: "Brother, do you think it's time for me to start practicing martial arts?"
Zhou Xingyun: "Confucianism and Buddhism are interlinked. Confucianism said that it is better to have no books than to believe in books. It also said that reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, I deeply believe it. Only experience can realize it. It is always impossible to build a car behind closed doors. .”
Jin Lin'er: "Thank you for your teaching, brother. I'm ashamed to say that I failed the elder's assessment, but it was intentional. What I did was wrong."
Jin Lin'er took out the camellia from behind, and confessed to Zhou Xingyun: "Brother, I have encountered a difficult matter, I don't know how to make a decision, but I can't ask others for help. Before, I always wanted to find the answer in the scriptures. Now It seems that I am narrow-minded. But I am really stumped by this matter. Before the matter is resolved, I dare not practice martial arts rashly. Please don't think that I am lazy because of this."
He touched his nose: "Although, I'm really lazy."
Zhou Xingyun: "It's best if you have a clear mind."
Jin Lin'er: "Why don't you ask me?"
Zhou Xingyun: "If you want to say it, you can say it, if you don't want to say it, you can bear it alone. However, if you feel that it is hard, I am willing to help you."
Jin Lin'er's eyes were wet, and it was hard to hold back the tears.
He wanted to hug Zhou Xingyun like he hugged Sun Qingfeng, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he immediately felt that this was inappropriate—he suddenly realized that Sun Qingfeng was different from anyone else in this world, and he didn't want to treat Sun Qingfeng like that. Treat others that way.
But his hand was already outstretched, so he couldn't take it back halfway, so he had an idea and put the camellia in his hand on Zhou Xingyun's chest, and said with a smile, "Thank you, brother."
The camellia was in full bloom, and the stamens were covered with honey powder. After shaking it twice, it left a bright yellow stain on Zhou Xingyun's skirt.
Zhou Xingyun liked this flower very much, he didn't care about the stain, he just said: "You are my junior brother, I should take care of you."
Jin Lin'er felt Zhou Xingyun's care and expectation, so she didn't dare to be distracted and lazy, and began to read the scriptures seriously, and didn't rest until the red sun was floating on the top of the green mountain.
Because he was worried that Sun Qingfeng would find out about the secret trial, Jin Lin'er didn't dare to act near the Cumulus Mansion, and he was afraid that he would be laughed at if he was seen, so he didn't dare to kill the bees around Wendao Pavilion.
So, after dinner, he saw that Zhou Xingyun had left, so he pretended that his brother was looking for him to inspect his homework, and used this as an excuse to dismiss Sun Qingfeng.Naturally, his target was not Zhou Xingyun, but the forest outside Zhou Xingyun's cave.
In normal times, Sun Qingfeng would definitely follow Jin Lin'er.
But at dinner today, he saw a camellia planted on Zhou Xingyun's chest. For some unknown reason, he always felt that there was no place in his body that was comfortable. Then he listened to Jin Lin'er's nonsense about studying homework, and he refused to answer the words. Don't ring and leave alone.
In Jin Lin'er's heart, he was half excited and half nervous. He didn't notice Sun Qingfeng's abnormality, and walked out of Wendao Pavilion alone.
At first, he walked slowly step by step, but when he saw no one around, he ran wildly and plunged into the deep forest.
In the evening, the setting sun illuminated half of the mountain forest.
Half of the vegetation in the forest is golden red, and half of the green leaves are pitch black.
The stream is like a mirror, and the reflection forms a world of its own.
Wild horses drink by the stream, more at ease than most people in the world.
There are footprints one after another on the meadow, with different shades, and each imprint carries a different mood that belongs only to young people.
Jin Lin'er ran too fast, couldn't hold back her pace, and nearly fell into the stream, but luckily tripped over a vine on the ground and fell by the stream.
He looked sideways, met the wild horse drinking water, rolled his eyeballs, smiled brightly, suddenly turned over and jumped on the horse's back, hugged the horse tightly, and whispered a few words in its ear.
The horse seems to have a spirituality, neighing and galloping, bringing out the shimmering debris of vegetation in the sky.
Jin Lin'er stared wide-eyed and looked around, found a cliff, found a hornet's nest much bigger than her own head, immediately patted the horse to stop, jumped off the horse's back, rolled to the ground, and said to herself Yu said: "That's it!"
He recalled the scene when Sun Qingfeng poked the hornet's nest, found an extremely long branch, broke off the excess part, held a long pole in his hand, pointed it at the hornet's nest, and pounded it hard.
With a bang, the hornet's nest fell to the ground.
Jin Lin'er excitedly waited for the bee swarm to come out. After a long time without hearing a sound, he poked an empty nest suspiciously. Holding a long pole, he stepped forward to look.
The moment the honeycomb was turned over, swarms of wasps exploded.
Jin Lin'er's scalp was numb, and she was so frightened that she accidentally stepped on the honeycomb.He felt the beehive vibrate, his feet went limp in fright, rolled on the ground twice, and ran away.
The swarm of bees was enraged and chased after Jin Lin'er.
Jin Lin'er ran for a while, and came to a mountain spring.
He tried his best to pass the "chaser" more than ten steps, he was stung several times on the back, his throat was fishy, his eyes were black, he knew that if he continued to run, he would pass out on the spot and be stung by wasps sieve.
At this critical juncture, fear flooded Jin Lin'er like a tide.
He suddenly remembered that the purpose of this trip was to face the fear and overcome it, so he decided not to run away anymore, stopped and stood by the stream, trembling and looking directly at the bee colony.
At this time, Zhou Xingyun took a wooden bucket and a cloth towel and went to the spring water on the mountainside of Dongfeng to take a bath.
He had just pushed aside a clump of dense leaves like a curtain, when he saw his junior brother "Xue Nianlang" standing by the spring.
Facing a swarm of bees that looked like a black cloud, Xue Nianlang trembled like he was sifting through chaff, but he stayed put and didn't move.
"Nian Lang? Why don't you run away!"
Zhou Xingyun yelled, but seeing that Jin Lin'er didn't respond, he thought he was frightened and stupid, so he had to leap forward, and ran to Jin Lin'er's side while breathing, pulled the cloth towel, covered himself and his head and face, and hugged him. Jump into the spring with him.
The swarm of bees arrived in no time, floating on the water and buzzing.
Under the surface of the water, Jin Lin'er came to his senses, not knowing why he was already in the water, opened his mouth to inhale, and spit out a series of bubbles.
Zhou Xingyun covered Jin Lin'er's mouth and nose with his hands, and stretched his fingers upwards, and the swarm of bees flew and collided in the air.
It coincided with the alternation of morning and evening, and the sky dimmed at this moment. The wasps could not distinguish things in the darkness, and it disappeared in a short while.
Zhou Xingyun kicked and brought Jin Lin'er to the surface of the water.
Jin Lin'er spit water lying on the edge of the spring, and passed out after spitting.
Zhou Xingyun's complexion was extremely gloomy, and he stared at Jin Lin'er intently. After a while, he came back to his senses, dragged him to the grass, and pressed his lower abdomen with both hands.
Seeing Jin Lin'er spit out all the water he had inhaled just now, Zhou Xingyun showed a slightly relieved look, patted him awake, and asked, "What are you doing?"
Jin Lin'er apologized repeatedly, took a breath, and said, "I'm testing myself."
Zhou Xingyun was extremely puzzled: "What is the trial?"
Jin Lin'er: "Put everything to death and then live."
Zhou Xingyun: "You almost died! Never take such risks in the future."
Jin Lin'er shook his head, stopped talking, and turned over and over in his mind, full of scenes of bee swarms attacking him head-on, savoring the deadly danger and bottomless fear.
It was getting late, Zhou Xingyun saw Jin Lin'er sitting in a daze, and felt that he looked extremely fragile, so he couldn't help feeling compassionate, and carried him back to Cumulus Mansion.
Outside Cumulus Mansion, cicadas sing and the mountains are secluded.
Sun Qingfeng is nine feet tall, sitting on a small horse harness, like a lonely wolf who is extremely depressed.
He didn't do anything, just looked at the path ahead, waiting for Jin Lin'er to come back from Zhou Xingyun.Xu felt that he was too stupid, so he spun the horse around in a circle, facing the path with his back.
As the sun set and the moon rose, Jin Lin'er's figure never appeared.
Sun Qingfeng was upset for no reason, got up and kicked Maza away, without controlling his strength, kicked Maza to pieces.
The pieces of wood were scattered all over the place, in a mess.
Sun Qingfeng hurried to the edge of the waterfall, stood under the running water, and let the cold water hit him.
Even so, he still couldn't calm down, a raging fire was burning in his dead heart at some point.
He swung his palm, splashing the water high into the sky, hurried back to the cave, raised his long sword, and went down the mountain with a torch to find someone.
The fire illuminated the road ahead, and a figure emerged from the darkness.
"Zhou Xingyun?" Sun Qingfeng's tone was cold and harsh, and he hurried forward.
The fire flickered on and off, and the bamboo forest was full of ghosts.
"Go back and change clothes, and be careful of catching a cold." Zhou Xingyun put down Jin Lin'er, wiped his face for him, and turned to look at Sun Qingfeng, "Brother Xue, Nian Lang was attacked by a swarm of bees. I will take him into the spring to avoid danger. It’s so embarrassing. He’s fine, he’s just been stung a few times on his back, please pick out the bee needles for him, and go find some vinegar to dab the wound.”
After Zhou Xingyun finished speaking, he turned and left.
Sun Qingfeng glanced at Jin Lin'er, and frowned instantly.
He stepped forward quickly, blocked Zhou Xingyun's way, drew his sword half out of its sheath, and said, "I am extremely grateful that you saved him, but it is best for us to speak clearly here."
Zhou Xingyun was not on guard, he saw Sun Qingfeng's face clearly through the light of the fire, stared at his sword for a while, and said clearly, "Brother Xue, you are overthinking."
Sun Qingfeng: "I don't want to cause trouble, but it's always good to be cautious. Since Brother Zhou already knew our secret and didn't make a fuss, he must be able to understand the hardship."
"Brother, thanks to senior brother who saved me just now, what are you doing?" Jin Lin'er trembling, looked at these two people for no reason, feeling the tense atmosphere, hurried to Sun Qingfeng's side, and put his Pushing the sword back into its sheath, "Don't mess around, you are not an unreasonable person."
Sun Qingfeng pushed Jin Lin'er away, gave him a gouged look, gritted his teeth and said, "I'll settle the score with you later."
Zhou Xingyun sighed, cupped his hands towards Sun Qingfeng, and said: "Brother Xue, this matter is nothing, but if I don't talk about it, I'm afraid you won't feel at ease, so please forgive me for offending."
Feeling the coolness of the night breeze, he glanced at Jin Lin'er and said, "Nian Lang doesn't need to listen, go back and change your clothes first."
Sun Qingfeng put one hand on Jin Lin'er's shoulder: "No need."
Zhou Xingyun was helpless, and said: "You claim to be from Baihai, but I have been to Baihai before, and know that it is a wasteland, the snow does not melt all year round, and there is no human habitation at all."
Jin Lin'er: "Brother, we are indeed from Baihai."
Sun Qingfeng: "The Baihai Snowfield is huge."
Zhou Xingyun: "Baihai is the border area of Dayong. The east and south sides are sparsely populated. The north is Guifang, but you are not from Guifang. To the west is Qingming Mountain. The Wulin League has wiped out the Jinguang Sect, and all the remaining members have been dismissed."
Sun Qingfeng: "That's right, let's continue."
"If you are not members of the Golden Light Cult, you can only come through the crack." Zhou Xingyun looked directly at Sun Qingfeng with clear eyes, "I think it should be the latter."
Jin Lin'er knew that Zhou Xingyun was thinking about it, and thought he was a monster.He was very unwilling to deceive Zhou Xingyun, but because of his special status, he had to act cautiously so as to hide it.
So, he retreated behind Sun Qingfeng in silence.
Sun Qingfeng put away his offensive posture, and said with a smile: "If that's the case, how will you treat it?"
The bamboo forest was dyed black, the wind whizzed through the forest, and the waves of leaves were like sea tides.
Zhou Xingyun's sleeves were blown out, and his belt was floating.
In the night, there was a very light cold plum fragrance.
Zhou Xingyun's expression on his face was calm, as bright as the breeze and the moon, and his eyes were modest, as if the spring breeze was swaying. He walked slowly to Sun Qingfeng's side, stretched out his hand to stroke Jin Lin'er's forehead hair, and said, "You are the master who received it personally. My apprentice, I trust his insight. You are my junior brother, and I have been with you day and night for half a year, so I know you have a pure character."
Jin Lin'er felt warmth welling up in her heart, lowered her head, moved by Zhou Xingyun's trust, and also blamed herself for her deceitful behavior, whispered: "Senior brother, I'm sorry."
Zhou Xingyun: "What kind of person you are has nothing to do with who you are. The key lies in your heart. People are divided into good and bad, and so are demons. I don't believe in rumors, I only believe in what I see and feel. I must Report this matter to Master, but I will also fight for you."
Sun Qingfeng pulled Jin Lin'er, bowed to Zhou Xingyun, and said: "You are frank and upright, and you are an honest gentleman. I have offended you with my villainous heart, please forgive me."
Zhou Xingyun quickly supported Sun Qingfeng, bowed his hands to say goodbye to him, and said: "Those who can be called a gentleman are at a loss for right and wrong, but their actions do not violate the Tao. I am not a gentleman, but I would like to be a gentleman."
Associating with a sincere and open person like Zhou Xingyun, even someone with a bad temper like Sun Qingfeng, feels like a spring breeze.
With a calm expression on his face, he handed the torch to Zhou Xingyun, patted him on the shoulder twice, and said, "It's difficult to walk at night, watch your feet."
The fire light illuminated Zhou Xingyun's skirt, where a camellia flower was originally planted, but now there were only bare branches left.He took the torch and said with a smile: "Thank you, Big Brother Xue. By the way, Big Brother is a sword user. I love swords. I want to ask you for advice someday."
"Yes, I recognize you as a friend."
Zhou Xingyun's figure disappeared into the night, and Sun Qingfeng immediately lifted Jin Lin'er's collar, carried him back to the cave, threw him on the ground, and slammed the door shut with a slap on the face, "Let's close the door slowly." Slow down. Nian Lang, what good things did you do tonight?"
Why is brother so angry?Jin Lin'er was still at a loss, he hesitated and said: "I, I didn't do anything, I just poked a hornet's nest. What did senior brother find out? How did he find out? Besides, didn't he guess wrong? "
Sun Qingfeng threw the bronze mirror vigorously, and said angrily, "Your face!"
The bronze mirror fell to the ground with a clang, spun around, and rolled to Jin Lin'er.
Jin Lin'er squatted down and took a look, and there was a handsome face reflected on the bright yellow mirror, with big and clear eyes, a narrow and straight nose, completely different from his usual fox face - this was his original face. face.
He reached out his hand to touch his bosom, and patted his head: "The magic talisman fell into the spring water! No wonder the brother mistook us for monsters. He was too indifferent, seeing my change of appearance, he didn't even show the slightest surprise."
Jin Lin'er pinched his cheek and muttered to himself: "Senior brother doesn't judge people by appearance, he is really a powerful person, I want to learn more from him." He looked at Sun Qingfeng thoughtfully, "However, I don't Judging by appearance, no matter what you look like, I like it very much."
Sun Qingfeng looked at Jin Lin'er's beautiful face, but showed a ignorant expression, he looked like an embroidered straw bag, and suspected that he would be abducted at some point. It didn't go away, but a nameless anger rose again, and the more he thought about it, the more he got angry, and roared: "He saw your face!"
Jin Lin'er was stunned by the roar: "I'm not a girl of Huanghua, so I'm going to marry him after he glances at me?"
"You dare!" Sun Qingfeng yelled back in an instant, and realized what he had said after the yelling—"You dare", what dare?Why not?
He froze in place, feeling like he was dreaming, looking out at the sky through the window, seeing the moon like a scimitar, like a treacherous face, laughing at himself.
No place is right tonight!
The more Sun Qingfeng thought about it, the more dazed he became. He didn't know what kind of strange anger he was getting, kicked the wooden table in front of him, and decided to attribute the reason for his abnormal behavior to "being irrational because of Jin Lin'er's anger", so he stopped Paying attention to Jin Lin'er, she changed her clothes and wiped herself.
But after he put on his clothes, he saw that Jin Lin'er was still stuck on the spot like a log, and stared at him, fearing that he would be mad at him, so he angrily threw a piece of dry cotton cloth to him, and said angrily, "Okay, Go marry him." After finishing speaking, he almost slapped himself, thinking: Am I sick?
Jin Lin'er knew that he had made a mistake, so he didn't dare to say anything, put on clean clothes, lowered his eyebrows, stood in front of Sun Qingfeng, gently pulled the corner of his clothes, and said, "Brother, I know I was wrong. "
Sun Qing was extremely sullen and kept silent.
Jin Lin'er started talking on his own, and told Sun Qingfeng exactly what happened in the evening.
At the end, seeing Sun Qingfeng's complexion turned from cloudy to sunny, he boldly said, "I won't marry senior brother."
Sun Qingfeng wanted to cry but had no tears.
Jin Lin'er was the only person he kept by his side and kept in his heart, so he was really angry with him?It was even more difficult than killing a hundred thousand ghost animals.
He was actually not angry, but angry with himself - because he realized that there was something in his heart that he shouldn't have.
Jin Lin'er lay down and played with Sun Qingfeng's fingers, and said aggrievedly: "Even if I dare, he doesn't dare."
Sun Qingfeng lost his temper, lay sprawled on the bed, thought wildly for a long time, let Jin Lin'er put his head on his lower abdomen, scratched his hair, pretended to be a joke, and said: "You gave him the flowers , don’t you want to marry him?”
Jin Lin'er laughed strangely, looked up at Sun Qingfeng, his eyes sparkled brightly: "Brother, you were the one who gave me the flowers first. Could it be that you actually want to marry me?"
Sun Qingfeng became angry from embarrassment: "It's unreasonable!"
Jin Lin'er: "I'm joking, don't you also like Senior Brother Zhou?"
Sun Qingfeng: "I admire him, he is a gentleman's friend."
Jin Lin'er: "Me too."
Sun Qingfeng: "You are still a villain, not a gentleman."
"Okay, okay, if you say you are a villain, then I am a villain, who made you a big brother?" Jin Lin'er knew that Sun Qingfeng was not angry, so he breathed a long sigh of relief, "Brother, Senior Brother Zhou treats me Excellent, I wanted to thank him in Wendao Pavilion today."
Sun Qingfeng felt uncomfortable, so he pushed Jin Lin'er away, leaned on the bed, and looked out the window. He felt that the first quarter moon still didn't look quite right, and the two ends were too sharp, trying to stab the sky Make a hole?No
The cotton was warm and his hands were cold.
Jin Lin'er was touched by Sun Qingfeng, and woke up from the cold, with sleepy eyes, and asked: "Brother, what are you doing? Are you going to wash me up and throw me into the pot to boil?"
Sun Qingfeng was expressionless: "Master, you wet the bed."
Jin Lin'er opened her eyes, moved her hands and feet back several times, and stared at her crotch, pretending to be calm but couldn't hide her frightened expression: "Impossible! I haven't wet the bed since I was ten years old. Did you... you peed? Don't worry, I won't laugh at you."
Sun Qingfeng: "What are you laughing at?"
Jin Lin'er worried: "Could it be that I'm sick?"
Sun Qingfeng rolled his eyes: "When you are full, you will overflow, don't panic."
"Oh, I know that. I've heard them say that if the young man is like this, it means that he... can have children in the future." Jin Lin'er looked away from Sun Qingfeng, feeling uncomfortable After moving a few times, I accidentally touched his fingers, and immediately dared not move.
Although, Sun Qingfeng's movements were never meticulous, bathing and scrubbing Jin Lin'er was no different from picking vegetables and washing dishes.
However, Jin Lin'er always feels that she has grown up, something has changed unknowingly, and she is rarely embarrassed.
To avoid embarrassment, Jin Lin'er had nothing to say, and asked, "But, if I'm walking on the road, this full, full..."
His face was blushing like he was about to bleed, and his voice was as thin as a mosquito: "It overflows when it's full, so what should I do? Others will see it."
"Of course not!" Seeing his serious appearance, Sun Qingfeng couldn't laugh or cry, "What are you thinking about all day long?"
Jin Lin'er put on her obscene pants: "I don't think about anything, I just think about you. Hey, don't hit me! But why have I never seen you like this?"
Sun Qingfeng: "I have my own way."
Jin Lin'er was extremely curious: "What way?"
Sun Qingfeng glared at Jin Lin'er, too lazy to argue with him, shook the sheet, drove him off the bed, ordered him to boil water, and asked casually, "Did you dream last night?"
Jin Lin'er poured half a basin of water into the pot with a thud, and was so cold by the splashing water that he screamed, jumped up and down, and said with a smile, "I dreamed of you, how about you?"
Sun Qingfeng's breath stagnated: "I dreamed of a fart."
Jin Lin'er looked at Sun Qingfeng in shock, and said earnestly, "Brother, don't keep thinking wildly."
Sun Qingfeng was speechless with anger.
After a lot of trouble, Jin Lin'er was almost late.
Fortunately, Sun Qingfeng walked fast, carried him on his back, moved like flying, and arrived at the east foot of Xifeng in a blink of an eye-although, he said yesterday that he would not help Jin Lin'er.
Entering Yuquan Temple, Jin Lin'er followed the crowd to the east and walked into Wendao Pavilion.
Sun Qingfeng went west alone, and walked to the open-air kitchen in the small courtyard.
There is no plaque in Wendao Pavilion, but there is a pair of couplets hanging outside the gate, and there are eight characters inscribed on it: "Dispel illusions on the screen, and be complete and true".
The attic looks old and old, but when you enter the inside, you will know that it is very spacious and unique.In the building, there are books on the first floor, swords on the second floor, and the chanting room on the third floor for the disciples.
Jin Lin'er saw that there were many treasures on the first two floors, so she ran up to the third floor excitedly, but was surprised to find that the third floor was the most simple - the tile roof on the top, ventilation on all sides, light gauze hanging from the eaves, and 21 on the wooden floor. There are six futons, six in front, and the remaining fifteen in the rear.
Just as Jin Lin'er was about to go in, someone lifted the gauze curtain for him and called him "senior brother".
He was very curious about this, and wanted to chat with that colleague for a while, but he didn't want to just say a word, waved his hand to the convenience, and said "The time is coming", and then with a gust of cold wind, he floated like a cloud. "gone.
"There are only you here, and I am the direct disciple of the sect master. The other fifteen brothers, although they are under the sect master, are disciples who entered the house, and we will teach martial arts on our behalf. The head of the sect teaches." Zhou Xingyun walked up to Jin Lin'er and told him softly, "There is no distinction between high and low in the Taoist sect, but there are rules. Regardless of seniority or seniority, all disciples who enter the room must be called senior disciples."
Jin Lin'er couldn't help blushing, she always felt that she had nothing outstanding at all, and she was lucky enough to be accepted as a personal disciple by Xue Zhengyang, one was luck, and the other was blood.
Therefore, he decided to study hard so as not to embarrass Xue Zhengyang.
All the disciples were out of temper, Jin Lin'er had just entered the attic and didn't dare to play with them, so he could only quietly find a seat near the window from the futon that belonged to his own disciples.
Leaning against the window, you can see the small courtyard where Sun Qingfeng is.
When the morning bell rang, Zhou Xingyun led his juniors to recite the scriptures, saying that "the meaning of reading a hundred times is self-evident", but he did not explain it to them.
After reading the book, everyone ignored each other, meditated and adjusted their breath, and went to "see their own meaning".
At noon, all the disciples did not eat, but talked about scriptures and Taoism in small groups.
After noon, each person, depending on his or her practice, either meditated to raise one's energy, or practiced wooden swords in the courtyard.
Jin Lin'er couldn't calm down, but in such an atmosphere, he didn't dare to make a fuss.
For the first two days, he would ask Zhou Xingyun for advice, but because he saw other people frowning and knew that he was making a noise, he gradually dared not say more.
So after a day, another day, after a month, another month.
The winter snow melts, the spring flowers bloom and fail, and soon it will be the dog days of hot summer.
This year, the amount of blood Jin Lin'er drank increased from five to seven.
Perhaps it was because she meditated every day to cultivate her qi and was able to calm down and concentrate on her practice. Jin Lin'er began to notice the flow of true qi in her body.
Occasionally when it comes to an emergency, for example, the cicada on the tree is about to fly away, and he has no time to catch it, so he shakes his fist anxiously, and if he is not careful, he will shoot a burst of true energy, smashing the tree fork to pieces.
The first time Jin Lin'er encountered this was in Wendao Pavilion, where his brothers were all practicing, and no one noticed him.
But he himself was too frightened, so he ran to the backyard in a hurry, got behind Sun Qingfeng, and said tremblingly, "Brother, brother, I'm damned!"
"What does it look like to be reckless? There is oil in the pot, and you are blind and can't see?" Sun Qingfeng was burning oil, knocked Jin Lin'er away with his arm, glanced at him, and saw that he didn't look crazy, "What the hell?"
Jin Lin'er: "I was catching a cicada just now... I was practicing kung fu. There was a cicada on a tree. I said hello to it, and it flew away, and the branch broke. The ghost has no human shape, like a dark golden streak cloud."
Sun Qingfeng stopped his movements and said in a low voice: "That's not a ghost, don't make a fuss, we'll talk about it when we go back."
Jin Lin'er had always believed in Sun Qingfeng's words, so he immediately calmed down and pulled his sleeves to wipe his sweat.
Although Sun Qingfeng's face was fake, his complexion was consistent with his own.Therefore, this face is also very pale, so it appears that the eyebrows and eyelashes are as black as ink.Although he looks plain, the sharpness in the corners of his eyes and the arrogance in his eyes cannot be concealed.
Jin Lin'er stared at Sun Qingfeng intently, seeing a bead of sweat hanging on his eyelashes, shining brightly in the sun, he couldn't help stretching out his index finger and touching it lightly.
The beads of sweat slid down into Sun Qingfeng's eye sockets.
Jin Lin'er was startled, and leaned forward, trying to blow the sweat out of Sun Qingfeng's eyes, but because he was too close, with a slight movement, his lips stuck to Sun Qingfeng's cheek.
For a moment, he saw Sun Qingfeng's eyes change, like ice and snow melting suddenly, like water boiled slightly hot in a pot.
With a bang, the copper spoon in Sun Qingfeng's hand fell to the ground.
He pushed Jin Lin'er away, turned around with his head down, and urged, "Don't delay my business."
At night, the two returned to the Cumulus Mansion, closed the doors and windows and talked in detail.
Only then did Jin Lin'er realize that it wasn't a ghost that shattered the branch, but the true energy in his body.
In the past, he didn't know the "Golden Phase Divine Art" at all, but now he began to examine the power he carried, and he couldn't help but feel frightened: "Ordinary people, even after decades of practice, may not be able to develop true energy that is visible to the naked eye. I have never done anything before, so I have such genuine energy. Is this technique really so powerful?"
Sun Qingfeng sneered: "The beasts on the ghost side have not been able to cross the White Sea boundary for 200 years, what do you think?"
"That's not what you said." Jin Lin'er shook his head.He began to reflect on the matter of drinking blood and practicing kung fu, recalling the livestock that died in his hands, the more he thought about it, the more he felt terrified.
Sun Qingfeng put his hand on Jin Lin'er's shoulder: "What are you afraid of?"
Jin Lin'er's face was not very good: "In the past, I regarded this magical skill as a burden, which I couldn't discard, so I had to carry it on my shoulders. But I believe that if I don't open it for the rest of my life, it will just be something I can't shake off, but It’s nothing more than a burden to get in the way.”
Sun Qingfeng: "I have told you the truth, you should have known about its evil ways."
Jin Lin'er sighed, took off the magic talisman, and revealed his true colors.
Now, he is seventeen years old, his cheeks are thinner, his childishness is gone, and he is more delicate and handsome.
The only thing that remains unchanged is the pair of black and white, clear and smiling eyes.When he looked at Sun Qingfeng, his eyes were gentle, like water that was too lazy to flow under the warm spring sun.
Sun Qingfeng was a little uncomfortable, and coughed: "What are you smirking?"
"I'm just smiling, not smirking. Anyway, I feel much better with you here." Jin Lin'er felt at ease, and calmly expressed his worries, "When my father first passed on the seal to me, I only needed to Drinking four-in-one blood, now I have to drink seven-in-one. Over time, I don’t realize it, but if it goes on like this, I’m afraid that I will unknowingly become a monster who can’t live without blood.”
Sun Qingfeng: "Why aren't you afraid that the sky will fall and kill you?"
Jin Lin'er: "I'm not, I... can't tell. It's like, we stand on the edge of Qiufeng cliff and look down. The cliff is hundreds of feet high, and you can't see the bottom at a glance. After a long time, you will feel that the blackness The abyss is also looking at us, trying to devour us. I am afraid that I will be self-righteous, unable to control this exercise, and be controlled by it without knowing it.”
Sun Qingfeng seemed to be thinking, but remained silent.
After a long time, he got up and opened the door, and said casually: "How can you predict the future? If you know you will die, why live? You can't just do the right thing and worry about making mistakes. If you know your mistakes, you can correct them. The road is difficult and dangerous, so what is the use of thinking? We have embarked on this journey, and there is no way to retreat, but to die and survive."
"You are already a man, don't be timid and hesitant. Some things have to be carried by yourself, and I can't help you." Sun Qingfeng said, took off his shirt, hung a cotton towel around his neck, and went to the waterfall to take a shower up.
Jin Lin'er cheered up, pondered over what Sun Qingfeng said over and over again, and started his secret trial of "putting death and rebirth" on a whim, trying to overcome fear step by step.
The first step of the trial - to poke a hornet's nest alone.
When in Xinghuagou, Jin Lin'er encouraged Sun Qingfeng to dig out a hornet's nest. The hornet was big, with long and poisonous needles, and even Sun Qingfeng dared not approach it.
Jin Lin'er even believed that Sun Qingfeng could not control the outburst of evil spirit because he was frightened by the hornets, and then came to the conclusion: it is very appropriate to use hornets' nests as a stepping stone to overcome fear.
It's midsummer, and the mountains are lush and full of flowers.
Jin Lin'er recited the formulas of "Inner Alchemy" during the day, and every time he said a few sentences, he couldn't help but glance at the camellia bushes under the attic.
Sun Qingfeng became more and more proficient in cooking. At this time, the ingredients for dinner had been prepared, and he was bored, lying under the shade of the tea tree to cool off.
The sunlight passed through the dense leaves of the tea tree, filtered into white spots, and sprinkled on his face, which was extremely gentle.
Sun Qingfeng noticed Jin Lin'er's gaze, thinking that he was bitten by a glutton and was salivating for nectar.
He stretched out his hand lazily, folded a well-opened white camellia, covered the flower on his mouth, closed his eyes and sucked the sweetness in the flower core, showing an expression of great enjoyment.
Unexpectedly, Jin Lin'er was unmoved, still staring at the bumblebee.
Sun Qingfeng was surprised, picked another camellia, raised his chin slightly, whistled to Jin Lin'er from a distance, and then waved his hand.
call out--!
The flower branch was thrown like a hidden weapon, pierced the wind like a sharp arrow, and stuck on the wooden railing beside Jin Lin'er with a bang.
The flowers kept shaking, and bright yellow pollen sprinkled in the air.
Jin Lin'er only felt that every breath was refreshing and sweet with nectar.
He even wanted to throw away his helmet and armor immediately, skip the secret trial of Lao Shizi, and run down to lie with Sun Qingfeng, bask in the sun, catch bees, and live a day.
Others saw Jin Lin'er giggling at a camellia that appeared on the railing out of nowhere, and they couldn't figure it out. Seeing that his eyes were as narrow as a fox, they couldn't help guessing that the look in his eyes changed.
Jin Lin'er pulled off the flower branch in embarrassment, shook it twice in his hand, and said to the people beside him: "My elder brother gave it to me, senior brother like it?"
The other party ignored Jin Lin'er and sat quietly with his eyes closed.
Jin Lin'er put away his agitation, feeling that the trial would continue.After all, he can't let Sun Qingfeng protect him all the time, he wants to protect Sun Qingfeng.
Zhou Xingyun's five senses were keen, so he easily noticed that Jin Lin'er was absent-minded, and he didn't restrain him just because he believed that he was smart.
However, more than half a year has passed since Jin Lin'er entered Huashan.Most of the disciples who started with him have already obtained permission from the elders to start practicing wooden swords.He was the only one who failed the examination several times and still stayed in the attic chanting sutras and meditating.
Law Enforcement Elder Zhang Qingxuan had inquired with Zhou Xingyun several times, and when he heard about this, he just sighed.
Zhou Xingyun decided to call Jin Lin'er, walked up to sit face to face with him, and asked, "Nian Lang, what are you doing?"
Jin Lin'er hid the camellia behind her back: "I..."
Zhou Xingyun's face is like a crown jade, he is a descendant of an aristocratic family, his temperament is noble, and his behavior is generous, making him feel like a spring breeze.
He picked up the scriptures that were spread out on the small case, glanced at them, and asked, "Which one is the victory of a strong army?"
Jin Lin'er blurted out: "The first battle is to fight back the nameless troubles; the second battle is to fight back the three corpses and ghosts; the third battle is to fight back the myriad methods. This is the way to win."
Zhou Xingyun was quite surprised: "Chongyang Patriarch's "Jin Guan Yu Suo Jue" is no longer a classic for beginners, but you are very familiar with it."
The implication is that he is naturally asking him why you can memorize the difficult classics but fail to pass the inspection of the introductory classics.
Jin Lin'er got close to Zhou Xingyun and said frankly: "I've been reading this book for several days. It's not difficult to recite it, but I still don't quite understand many places. There are too many scriptures in Wendao Pavilion, and I want to read them all. It’s not easy to understand what it means.”
Zhou Xingyun said helplessly, "Nian Lang, do you know what it means to ask questions?"
Jin Lin'er lowered his voice and said, "I thought that asking questions meant asking the teacher, but they don't like asking questions very much, so I don't understand."
Zhou Xingyun couldn't help laughing: "Quanzhen Dao emphasizes the word 'truth'. Practice does not depend on books or talismans. The most important thing is to see one's nature clearly. This is why Wendao Pavilion is 'asking' rather than 'hearing' The reason. Cultivation is to search the heart, not the scriptures."
Jin Lin'er finally understood: "Brother, do you think it's time for me to start practicing martial arts?"
Zhou Xingyun: "Confucianism and Buddhism are interlinked. Confucianism said that it is better to have no books than to believe in books. It also said that reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, I deeply believe it. Only experience can realize it. It is always impossible to build a car behind closed doors. .”
Jin Lin'er: "Thank you for your teaching, brother. I'm ashamed to say that I failed the elder's assessment, but it was intentional. What I did was wrong."
Jin Lin'er took out the camellia from behind, and confessed to Zhou Xingyun: "Brother, I have encountered a difficult matter, I don't know how to make a decision, but I can't ask others for help. Before, I always wanted to find the answer in the scriptures. Now It seems that I am narrow-minded. But I am really stumped by this matter. Before the matter is resolved, I dare not practice martial arts rashly. Please don't think that I am lazy because of this."
He touched his nose: "Although, I'm really lazy."
Zhou Xingyun: "It's best if you have a clear mind."
Jin Lin'er: "Why don't you ask me?"
Zhou Xingyun: "If you want to say it, you can say it, if you don't want to say it, you can bear it alone. However, if you feel that it is hard, I am willing to help you."
Jin Lin'er's eyes were wet, and it was hard to hold back the tears.
He wanted to hug Zhou Xingyun like he hugged Sun Qingfeng, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he immediately felt that this was inappropriate—he suddenly realized that Sun Qingfeng was different from anyone else in this world, and he didn't want to treat Sun Qingfeng like that. Treat others that way.
But his hand was already outstretched, so he couldn't take it back halfway, so he had an idea and put the camellia in his hand on Zhou Xingyun's chest, and said with a smile, "Thank you, brother."
The camellia was in full bloom, and the stamens were covered with honey powder. After shaking it twice, it left a bright yellow stain on Zhou Xingyun's skirt.
Zhou Xingyun liked this flower very much, he didn't care about the stain, he just said: "You are my junior brother, I should take care of you."
Jin Lin'er felt Zhou Xingyun's care and expectation, so she didn't dare to be distracted and lazy, and began to read the scriptures seriously, and didn't rest until the red sun was floating on the top of the green mountain.
Because he was worried that Sun Qingfeng would find out about the secret trial, Jin Lin'er didn't dare to act near the Cumulus Mansion, and he was afraid that he would be laughed at if he was seen, so he didn't dare to kill the bees around Wendao Pavilion.
So, after dinner, he saw that Zhou Xingyun had left, so he pretended that his brother was looking for him to inspect his homework, and used this as an excuse to dismiss Sun Qingfeng.Naturally, his target was not Zhou Xingyun, but the forest outside Zhou Xingyun's cave.
In normal times, Sun Qingfeng would definitely follow Jin Lin'er.
But at dinner today, he saw a camellia planted on Zhou Xingyun's chest. For some unknown reason, he always felt that there was no place in his body that was comfortable. Then he listened to Jin Lin'er's nonsense about studying homework, and he refused to answer the words. Don't ring and leave alone.
In Jin Lin'er's heart, he was half excited and half nervous. He didn't notice Sun Qingfeng's abnormality, and walked out of Wendao Pavilion alone.
At first, he walked slowly step by step, but when he saw no one around, he ran wildly and plunged into the deep forest.
In the evening, the setting sun illuminated half of the mountain forest.
Half of the vegetation in the forest is golden red, and half of the green leaves are pitch black.
The stream is like a mirror, and the reflection forms a world of its own.
Wild horses drink by the stream, more at ease than most people in the world.
There are footprints one after another on the meadow, with different shades, and each imprint carries a different mood that belongs only to young people.
Jin Lin'er ran too fast, couldn't hold back her pace, and nearly fell into the stream, but luckily tripped over a vine on the ground and fell by the stream.
He looked sideways, met the wild horse drinking water, rolled his eyeballs, smiled brightly, suddenly turned over and jumped on the horse's back, hugged the horse tightly, and whispered a few words in its ear.
The horse seems to have a spirituality, neighing and galloping, bringing out the shimmering debris of vegetation in the sky.
Jin Lin'er stared wide-eyed and looked around, found a cliff, found a hornet's nest much bigger than her own head, immediately patted the horse to stop, jumped off the horse's back, rolled to the ground, and said to herself Yu said: "That's it!"
He recalled the scene when Sun Qingfeng poked the hornet's nest, found an extremely long branch, broke off the excess part, held a long pole in his hand, pointed it at the hornet's nest, and pounded it hard.
With a bang, the hornet's nest fell to the ground.
Jin Lin'er excitedly waited for the bee swarm to come out. After a long time without hearing a sound, he poked an empty nest suspiciously. Holding a long pole, he stepped forward to look.
The moment the honeycomb was turned over, swarms of wasps exploded.
Jin Lin'er's scalp was numb, and she was so frightened that she accidentally stepped on the honeycomb.He felt the beehive vibrate, his feet went limp in fright, rolled on the ground twice, and ran away.
The swarm of bees was enraged and chased after Jin Lin'er.
Jin Lin'er ran for a while, and came to a mountain spring.
He tried his best to pass the "chaser" more than ten steps, he was stung several times on the back, his throat was fishy, his eyes were black, he knew that if he continued to run, he would pass out on the spot and be stung by wasps sieve.
At this critical juncture, fear flooded Jin Lin'er like a tide.
He suddenly remembered that the purpose of this trip was to face the fear and overcome it, so he decided not to run away anymore, stopped and stood by the stream, trembling and looking directly at the bee colony.
At this time, Zhou Xingyun took a wooden bucket and a cloth towel and went to the spring water on the mountainside of Dongfeng to take a bath.
He had just pushed aside a clump of dense leaves like a curtain, when he saw his junior brother "Xue Nianlang" standing by the spring.
Facing a swarm of bees that looked like a black cloud, Xue Nianlang trembled like he was sifting through chaff, but he stayed put and didn't move.
"Nian Lang? Why don't you run away!"
Zhou Xingyun yelled, but seeing that Jin Lin'er didn't respond, he thought he was frightened and stupid, so he had to leap forward, and ran to Jin Lin'er's side while breathing, pulled the cloth towel, covered himself and his head and face, and hugged him. Jump into the spring with him.
The swarm of bees arrived in no time, floating on the water and buzzing.
Under the surface of the water, Jin Lin'er came to his senses, not knowing why he was already in the water, opened his mouth to inhale, and spit out a series of bubbles.
Zhou Xingyun covered Jin Lin'er's mouth and nose with his hands, and stretched his fingers upwards, and the swarm of bees flew and collided in the air.
It coincided with the alternation of morning and evening, and the sky dimmed at this moment. The wasps could not distinguish things in the darkness, and it disappeared in a short while.
Zhou Xingyun kicked and brought Jin Lin'er to the surface of the water.
Jin Lin'er spit water lying on the edge of the spring, and passed out after spitting.
Zhou Xingyun's complexion was extremely gloomy, and he stared at Jin Lin'er intently. After a while, he came back to his senses, dragged him to the grass, and pressed his lower abdomen with both hands.
Seeing Jin Lin'er spit out all the water he had inhaled just now, Zhou Xingyun showed a slightly relieved look, patted him awake, and asked, "What are you doing?"
Jin Lin'er apologized repeatedly, took a breath, and said, "I'm testing myself."
Zhou Xingyun was extremely puzzled: "What is the trial?"
Jin Lin'er: "Put everything to death and then live."
Zhou Xingyun: "You almost died! Never take such risks in the future."
Jin Lin'er shook his head, stopped talking, and turned over and over in his mind, full of scenes of bee swarms attacking him head-on, savoring the deadly danger and bottomless fear.
It was getting late, Zhou Xingyun saw Jin Lin'er sitting in a daze, and felt that he looked extremely fragile, so he couldn't help feeling compassionate, and carried him back to Cumulus Mansion.
Outside Cumulus Mansion, cicadas sing and the mountains are secluded.
Sun Qingfeng is nine feet tall, sitting on a small horse harness, like a lonely wolf who is extremely depressed.
He didn't do anything, just looked at the path ahead, waiting for Jin Lin'er to come back from Zhou Xingyun.Xu felt that he was too stupid, so he spun the horse around in a circle, facing the path with his back.
As the sun set and the moon rose, Jin Lin'er's figure never appeared.
Sun Qingfeng was upset for no reason, got up and kicked Maza away, without controlling his strength, kicked Maza to pieces.
The pieces of wood were scattered all over the place, in a mess.
Sun Qingfeng hurried to the edge of the waterfall, stood under the running water, and let the cold water hit him.
Even so, he still couldn't calm down, a raging fire was burning in his dead heart at some point.
He swung his palm, splashing the water high into the sky, hurried back to the cave, raised his long sword, and went down the mountain with a torch to find someone.
The fire illuminated the road ahead, and a figure emerged from the darkness.
"Zhou Xingyun?" Sun Qingfeng's tone was cold and harsh, and he hurried forward.
The fire flickered on and off, and the bamboo forest was full of ghosts.
"Go back and change clothes, and be careful of catching a cold." Zhou Xingyun put down Jin Lin'er, wiped his face for him, and turned to look at Sun Qingfeng, "Brother Xue, Nian Lang was attacked by a swarm of bees. I will take him into the spring to avoid danger. It’s so embarrassing. He’s fine, he’s just been stung a few times on his back, please pick out the bee needles for him, and go find some vinegar to dab the wound.”
After Zhou Xingyun finished speaking, he turned and left.
Sun Qingfeng glanced at Jin Lin'er, and frowned instantly.
He stepped forward quickly, blocked Zhou Xingyun's way, drew his sword half out of its sheath, and said, "I am extremely grateful that you saved him, but it is best for us to speak clearly here."
Zhou Xingyun was not on guard, he saw Sun Qingfeng's face clearly through the light of the fire, stared at his sword for a while, and said clearly, "Brother Xue, you are overthinking."
Sun Qingfeng: "I don't want to cause trouble, but it's always good to be cautious. Since Brother Zhou already knew our secret and didn't make a fuss, he must be able to understand the hardship."
"Brother, thanks to senior brother who saved me just now, what are you doing?" Jin Lin'er trembling, looked at these two people for no reason, feeling the tense atmosphere, hurried to Sun Qingfeng's side, and put his Pushing the sword back into its sheath, "Don't mess around, you are not an unreasonable person."
Sun Qingfeng pushed Jin Lin'er away, gave him a gouged look, gritted his teeth and said, "I'll settle the score with you later."
Zhou Xingyun sighed, cupped his hands towards Sun Qingfeng, and said: "Brother Xue, this matter is nothing, but if I don't talk about it, I'm afraid you won't feel at ease, so please forgive me for offending."
Feeling the coolness of the night breeze, he glanced at Jin Lin'er and said, "Nian Lang doesn't need to listen, go back and change your clothes first."
Sun Qingfeng put one hand on Jin Lin'er's shoulder: "No need."
Zhou Xingyun was helpless, and said: "You claim to be from Baihai, but I have been to Baihai before, and know that it is a wasteland, the snow does not melt all year round, and there is no human habitation at all."
Jin Lin'er: "Brother, we are indeed from Baihai."
Sun Qingfeng: "The Baihai Snowfield is huge."
Zhou Xingyun: "Baihai is the border area of Dayong. The east and south sides are sparsely populated. The north is Guifang, but you are not from Guifang. To the west is Qingming Mountain. The Wulin League has wiped out the Jinguang Sect, and all the remaining members have been dismissed."
Sun Qingfeng: "That's right, let's continue."
"If you are not members of the Golden Light Cult, you can only come through the crack." Zhou Xingyun looked directly at Sun Qingfeng with clear eyes, "I think it should be the latter."
Jin Lin'er knew that Zhou Xingyun was thinking about it, and thought he was a monster.He was very unwilling to deceive Zhou Xingyun, but because of his special status, he had to act cautiously so as to hide it.
So, he retreated behind Sun Qingfeng in silence.
Sun Qingfeng put away his offensive posture, and said with a smile: "If that's the case, how will you treat it?"
The bamboo forest was dyed black, the wind whizzed through the forest, and the waves of leaves were like sea tides.
Zhou Xingyun's sleeves were blown out, and his belt was floating.
In the night, there was a very light cold plum fragrance.
Zhou Xingyun's expression on his face was calm, as bright as the breeze and the moon, and his eyes were modest, as if the spring breeze was swaying. He walked slowly to Sun Qingfeng's side, stretched out his hand to stroke Jin Lin'er's forehead hair, and said, "You are the master who received it personally. My apprentice, I trust his insight. You are my junior brother, and I have been with you day and night for half a year, so I know you have a pure character."
Jin Lin'er felt warmth welling up in her heart, lowered her head, moved by Zhou Xingyun's trust, and also blamed herself for her deceitful behavior, whispered: "Senior brother, I'm sorry."
Zhou Xingyun: "What kind of person you are has nothing to do with who you are. The key lies in your heart. People are divided into good and bad, and so are demons. I don't believe in rumors, I only believe in what I see and feel. I must Report this matter to Master, but I will also fight for you."
Sun Qingfeng pulled Jin Lin'er, bowed to Zhou Xingyun, and said: "You are frank and upright, and you are an honest gentleman. I have offended you with my villainous heart, please forgive me."
Zhou Xingyun quickly supported Sun Qingfeng, bowed his hands to say goodbye to him, and said: "Those who can be called a gentleman are at a loss for right and wrong, but their actions do not violate the Tao. I am not a gentleman, but I would like to be a gentleman."
Associating with a sincere and open person like Zhou Xingyun, even someone with a bad temper like Sun Qingfeng, feels like a spring breeze.
With a calm expression on his face, he handed the torch to Zhou Xingyun, patted him on the shoulder twice, and said, "It's difficult to walk at night, watch your feet."
The fire light illuminated Zhou Xingyun's skirt, where a camellia flower was originally planted, but now there were only bare branches left.He took the torch and said with a smile: "Thank you, Big Brother Xue. By the way, Big Brother is a sword user. I love swords. I want to ask you for advice someday."
"Yes, I recognize you as a friend."
Zhou Xingyun's figure disappeared into the night, and Sun Qingfeng immediately lifted Jin Lin'er's collar, carried him back to the cave, threw him on the ground, and slammed the door shut with a slap on the face, "Let's close the door slowly." Slow down. Nian Lang, what good things did you do tonight?"
Why is brother so angry?Jin Lin'er was still at a loss, he hesitated and said: "I, I didn't do anything, I just poked a hornet's nest. What did senior brother find out? How did he find out? Besides, didn't he guess wrong? "
Sun Qingfeng threw the bronze mirror vigorously, and said angrily, "Your face!"
The bronze mirror fell to the ground with a clang, spun around, and rolled to Jin Lin'er.
Jin Lin'er squatted down and took a look, and there was a handsome face reflected on the bright yellow mirror, with big and clear eyes, a narrow and straight nose, completely different from his usual fox face - this was his original face. face.
He reached out his hand to touch his bosom, and patted his head: "The magic talisman fell into the spring water! No wonder the brother mistook us for monsters. He was too indifferent, seeing my change of appearance, he didn't even show the slightest surprise."
Jin Lin'er pinched his cheek and muttered to himself: "Senior brother doesn't judge people by appearance, he is really a powerful person, I want to learn more from him." He looked at Sun Qingfeng thoughtfully, "However, I don't Judging by appearance, no matter what you look like, I like it very much."
Sun Qingfeng looked at Jin Lin'er's beautiful face, but showed a ignorant expression, he looked like an embroidered straw bag, and suspected that he would be abducted at some point. It didn't go away, but a nameless anger rose again, and the more he thought about it, the more he got angry, and roared: "He saw your face!"
Jin Lin'er was stunned by the roar: "I'm not a girl of Huanghua, so I'm going to marry him after he glances at me?"
"You dare!" Sun Qingfeng yelled back in an instant, and realized what he had said after the yelling—"You dare", what dare?Why not?
He froze in place, feeling like he was dreaming, looking out at the sky through the window, seeing the moon like a scimitar, like a treacherous face, laughing at himself.
No place is right tonight!
The more Sun Qingfeng thought about it, the more dazed he became. He didn't know what kind of strange anger he was getting, kicked the wooden table in front of him, and decided to attribute the reason for his abnormal behavior to "being irrational because of Jin Lin'er's anger", so he stopped Paying attention to Jin Lin'er, she changed her clothes and wiped herself.
But after he put on his clothes, he saw that Jin Lin'er was still stuck on the spot like a log, and stared at him, fearing that he would be mad at him, so he angrily threw a piece of dry cotton cloth to him, and said angrily, "Okay, Go marry him." After finishing speaking, he almost slapped himself, thinking: Am I sick?
Jin Lin'er knew that he had made a mistake, so he didn't dare to say anything, put on clean clothes, lowered his eyebrows, stood in front of Sun Qingfeng, gently pulled the corner of his clothes, and said, "Brother, I know I was wrong. "
Sun Qing was extremely sullen and kept silent.
Jin Lin'er started talking on his own, and told Sun Qingfeng exactly what happened in the evening.
At the end, seeing Sun Qingfeng's complexion turned from cloudy to sunny, he boldly said, "I won't marry senior brother."
Sun Qingfeng wanted to cry but had no tears.
Jin Lin'er was the only person he kept by his side and kept in his heart, so he was really angry with him?It was even more difficult than killing a hundred thousand ghost animals.
He was actually not angry, but angry with himself - because he realized that there was something in his heart that he shouldn't have.
Jin Lin'er lay down and played with Sun Qingfeng's fingers, and said aggrievedly: "Even if I dare, he doesn't dare."
Sun Qingfeng lost his temper, lay sprawled on the bed, thought wildly for a long time, let Jin Lin'er put his head on his lower abdomen, scratched his hair, pretended to be a joke, and said: "You gave him the flowers , don’t you want to marry him?”
Jin Lin'er laughed strangely, looked up at Sun Qingfeng, his eyes sparkled brightly: "Brother, you were the one who gave me the flowers first. Could it be that you actually want to marry me?"
Sun Qingfeng became angry from embarrassment: "It's unreasonable!"
Jin Lin'er: "I'm joking, don't you also like Senior Brother Zhou?"
Sun Qingfeng: "I admire him, he is a gentleman's friend."
Jin Lin'er: "Me too."
Sun Qingfeng: "You are still a villain, not a gentleman."
"Okay, okay, if you say you are a villain, then I am a villain, who made you a big brother?" Jin Lin'er knew that Sun Qingfeng was not angry, so he breathed a long sigh of relief, "Brother, Senior Brother Zhou treats me Excellent, I wanted to thank him in Wendao Pavilion today."
Sun Qingfeng felt uncomfortable, so he pushed Jin Lin'er away, leaned on the bed, and looked out the window. He felt that the first quarter moon still didn't look quite right, and the two ends were too sharp, trying to stab the sky Make a hole?No
