Xiao Jin raised his head from his contemplation and looked at Beishang in front of him. It was hard for him to imagine that that embarrassed, tearful, and extremely timid young man was the neatly dressed and elegantly behaved boy who had been in a state of confusion not long ago. protect their own people.

"You remember, right?" Beishang asked a little cautiously, with a look of hope on his face.

Seeing his expression, Xiao Jin's heart softened, and finally couldn't help hugging him tightly into his arms, buried his whole face deeply in the crescent of his neck, sniffing his scent greedily, and said in a low voice :"as you wish……"

Bei Shang froze for a moment, then became ecstatic, and was about to struggle out, but Xiao Jin hugged him tightly, almost begging: "Don't move!"

It can be said that he officially knew Beishang from Wanshou Mountain, but in fact they had known each other 12 years ago, but he himself never cared about it and forgot it completely!

It has only been about half a month since he found out that he was in his heart. During this period, whenever he looked at him, he felt the unspeakable pain of having love in his heart, and he deeply understood it.

However, Beishang endured this suffering silently for 12 years.

He couldn't imagine the pain of single thinking in the past 12 years.

In the flame circle before, he still regretted why he didn't pay more attention to the man in front of him earlier, but in fact, he had unknowingly ignored him for 12 years.

Thinking about it, his heart was clenched tightly, and he felt extremely distressed.At this moment, he just wanted to hug him quietly, comfort him, and comfort himself.

The two kept embracing each other like this. At this moment, they only had each other in their eyes.

a long time……

"Cough cough!!"

The two are still hugging.

"Cough cough cough!!"

The two remained unmoved.

"I'm talking about the two of you," the tree elder couldn't help but said, "I'm very happy to see you two so affectionate, but time is running out!"

The two separate.

"Mr. Shu has something to explain?" Only for a moment, Xiao Jin returned to his usual calm expression.If you look closely, you can find that the edges and corners of his face have softened a lot.

Beishang also returned to being gentle and refined, with a slight smile on the corners of his lips.

"The test for you is over," Shu Lao blinked, "and you have passed my test, the next step is to reward you."

"Oh? I don't know what kind of reward, but I need to go through such a... test." Beishang smiled, but there was a trace of coldness in his eyes.

Shu Lao stared at the two with a smile, opened his mouth, and a red light flew out, split into two and flew towards the wrists of the two, connecting them together.

It was a red rope, an ordinary looking red rope.

The moment the two are connected together, the red rope emits an extremely dazzling light, giving people a feeling of...it seems to be very pleasant.

At the same time, there is an invisible but constant connection between the two, as if they can sense each other's emotions no matter how far apart they are.

Looking at the scene in front of him, the old man's eyes were full of joy and relief, and his face was full of smiles. The branches and leaves on his body moved without wind, just like a person dancing when he is happy.

While shaking, the leaves made a "cracking" sound, like a wind chime singing, which sounded particularly pleasant.

"What is this?" Looking at the red string connecting the two of them, Beishang certainly wouldn't think that it was really just an ordinary red string.

"This is a magic weapon specially made from the hair and blood essence of ancient beasts." Shu Lao explained with a smile, "It must be two people who are connected with each other and have righteous hearts in order to make it recognize its owner. A nice name, called 'Lianxinsuo'."

"So?" Beishang slightly raised his eyebrows.

Shu Lao continued to smile and said: "Children, don't look at it as a red rope on the surface, but its power is beyond your imagination. Lian Xinsuo will only recognize one pair of masters in a lifetime, just now it sent out like that in your hands. The dazzling light proves that you have been recognized by it."

Its face was full of emotion and sadness, "At the beginning, the master put it here and told me to find a master for it. After so many years, I finally lived up to the trust and fulfilled the master's last wish!"

The two looked at each other and remembered the rumors about the origin of the sacred tree.

Xiao Jin: "Master Shu Lao, but the one who planted you?"

Shu Lao: "Exactly."

Beishang: "I don't understand one thing."

Shenshu looked at him with a smile: "If you have any doubts, you may as well speak up."

"Shu Lao has existed for countless years, and he has met countless people during this period. Why did you choose us?" Beishang stared at it for a moment, "I believe, the test before is not just Have we just experienced it? Could it be that there is no heart-to-heart connection and righteous people in it?"

"You're right. It's true that not only you have experienced that kind of test, but it's true that you are not the only ones who are connected with each other and have a righteous heart, but..." Shu Lao glanced at the two of them, "But , the soul is connected, the heart is upright, and the situation is the same as yours, but there is no one."

"...?"

The two didn't react for a moment.

Shenshu coughed lightly: "Master's lover was also a man..."

Just this one sentence, no need to say much, the two of them suddenly realized.

Since ancient times, it is rare for men to have love between men. If Lian Xinsuo recognizes the Lord also includes this condition, then it is normal to not find it for a long time.

"At the beginning, the master and his lover died in depression because they couldn't accept the eyes of the world. When the master was sad, he went to live in seclusion in Shengyin Village." Shu Lao said slowly, "and Lianxinsuo, it was the master who originally wanted to protect himself. It was built with my lover, but unfortunately, the owner and his lover went away suddenly, so Lianxinsuo was put down. Therefore, the master hopes that the owner of Lianxinsuo can be firm-willed, cast aside the eyes of the world, and..."

When it comes to this, it stops abruptly.

Beishang smiled, but stared at it sharply: "Why don't you continue?"

Looking at him for a while, Shu Lao smiled wryly, and continued: "The two people who have been identified as the master by Lianxin Lock, no matter how far apart they are, can sense each other's emotions. From then on, their lives are tied together. Death, the other party also suffers! To put it simply, it means life and death together..."

The more it spoke, the quieter it became, until it sounded almost like a mosquito.After all, no one would be happy if someone suddenly had their life tied to other people.

At this moment, it suddenly widened its eyes and looked at Xiao Jin in astonishment: "My child, what are you doing?"

Xiao Jin suddenly took out a dagger, grabbed the red rope connecting the two of them, and cut with all his might.

Hearing this, without raising his head, he said coldly, "Cut!"

Shu Lao couldn't laugh or cry for a while: "Your child is also a green monk, this is a magic weapon, how can you cut it like an ordinary red rope?"

Xiao Jin paused when he cut the red rope, flipped his hand, and a long sword appeared in his hand, together with a dagger, he handed it to Bei Shang, saying: "Broken Soul!"

The dagger and the long sword are exactly the chasing soul and breaking wind that Beishang put away in the illusion when he was in a coma.

Beishang took it over with a smile, making a gesture to gather strength.

The tree boss turned pale with fright, and shouted: "Wait, wait, wait..."

Beishang paused and stared at it, with a half-smile.

Shu Lao heaved a sigh of relief, and sighed: "Young people are impatient, haven't I finished my words..."

It was about to sigh with emotion, but seeing Xiao Jin frowned, he hurriedly turned to the topic, and quickly said: "It is indeed a big evil that the red rope binds your two lives together, but everything has its advantages and disadvantages. In addition to its unpredictable power, Li can also make the two of you feel each other's emotions no matter how far apart they are."

"What's more, the lifespan, resistance, recovery ability, and cultivation talent of the two of you will all superimpose on each other. The mere superposition of each other is enough to make countless people covet you. You don't know the blessings in the midst of blessings."

Speaking of this, it glanced at the two of them quite complacently.However, I saw that one of the two was still expressionless, and the other was still half-smiling, completely unmoved.

Its proud expression couldn't help but stagnate, and it was stunned: "This can't impress you?"

"Old Shu, don't you think we are so young and foolish?" Beishang said quietly, "Don't you know that our talent and recovery ability are different from ordinary people?"

The implication is that the superimposition function of Lianxin Lock is dispensable to them.

His tone was still gentle as always, but what he said was more straightforward and a bit aggressive, which was quite different from his usual self.

Xiao couldn't help but look at him a few more times, always feeling that he at this time was very similar to the abnormal him, to be precise, it was like the fusion of normal and abnormal.
