[Shadow Guardian] The Wind Rises from the Wild West

"A Jin?" Yun couldn't believe his eyes, A Jin should be far away in Qishan Mountain, why did he come to Xihuang?

"Master, are you unhappy seeing me!" Ah Jin's face was flushed from the cold, and he was wearing thin clothes, but he looked energetic.

"What do you call me?" People in the Shadow Sect always call each other by name, or Sect Master, regardless of their seniority. There has never been such a title as master or brother.

"Aren't you my master?" Ah Jin asked back of course.She has never been out of the mountains before, so she doesn't know what the outside world is like.This time I came out, and traveled with some rangers, and gradually understood the rules outside.I think these titles are very suitable.

Yun frowned, and said softly, "Shadow Gate never cares about these things."

It's a pity that Ah Jin can't control it all the time: "Master, master, master!"

Yun has nothing to say.

The two were still standing on the porch, Hong Han clasped his hands and said, "Go in quickly, isn't it cold outside? Don't rely on your martial arts to be sure you are not afraid of the cold."

Yun followed Hong Han into the house, and Ah Jin tugged at his sleeves all the way acting like a spoiled child. "Master, I miss you so much!" She was wearing thin clothes, her boots were covered in slush, and her little face was flushed from the cold. It was obvious that she had suffered a lot along the way.

Yun thought of the time when the mountains were covered by heavy snow, A Jin, a little girl, walked through Zihan Pass and the long mountain road in Kunling to find herself, and her heart softened. "Why are you not on the mountain?"

Ah Jin followed him to find a warm place by the brazier, and said coquettishly, "Because I miss you!"

Seeing her like that, Hong Han laughed out loud, and several guards on duty in the hall also laughed.They knew Ah Jin, and many of the guards had fought and quarreled with her because of the barbecue. This meeting, they couldn't help being very cordial.

After meeting with all the acquaintances, Yun was afraid that her chattering would disturb Honghan's work, so he took Ah Jin to eat.

The steward of the kitchen saw that it was Mrs. Zhu Qing, and he prepared a large table of various noodles very attentively, such as topped noodles, dandan noodles, oatmeal noodles, wide noodles and narrow noodles... Ah Jin is like a girl who hasn't lived in 800 years. The poor children who have eaten have their heads stuck in the big bowl.After eating, I suddenly felt a little embarrassed, wiped my mouth, and looked at her master happily.

Yun said: "Okay, we have eaten and met people, you can go back."

Ah Jin's eyes widened at first, then he couldn't believe it, and then showed a very aggrieved look. "Master, you want me to go when I come here?"

"This is not where you should be."

Ah Jin pouted and said, "The reason why I ran out was because Bai came back to visit Qishan."

After the autumn hunt, Bai left Xiyan to go back to Tiandu, passing Qishan to go back and have a look, which is not surprising.

Ah Jin said again: "It is said that the crown prince wants me to go to Tiandu. After looking at it for nothing, it turns out that I am practicing too slowly, so I must hurry up. When I reach the ninth floor, I will go immediately."

Yun nodded, this is what he expected.

Ah Jin's mouth was so pouted that he could hang an oil bottle. "I don't want to go, so... I packed my bags and went to Master!"

Yun opened his mouth, wanting to blame Ah Jin, but suddenly didn't know where to start.Ever since he was a child, he couldn't severely blame anyone.It doesn't matter how fast or slow the practice is, with Ah Jin's temperament, it seems really unimaginable to obey the call step by step and go to Tiandu to be a shadow guard.Moreover, he made a very bad start and followed Honghan away, breaking the rules.

In the end, I had to say: "If you leave the cold spring, what will you do with your practice?" When Chi Yan reached the top, he had to rely on the cold spring to practice, because it was a very hot and domineering martial art, and he had to have something extremely cold to suppress it.And the higher the skill is, the more inseparable the cold spring will be when the attack occurs. Unless you reach the tenth floor through the fire deed, it will be difficult to leave Qishan.

Ah Jin had expected to be asked this question, and immediately picked up his little bag with a smile and patted it on: "Don't worry, master, I brought all the ice breath pills from the mountain, it's a big bag!"

Yun thought of the bunch of things he had told him before leaving the mountain, the pile of ice breath pills left behind, and looked at the little girl's eyes full of excitement and hope, and helped her forehead helplessly.His own teaching really failed.

At this time, Honghan also came to the dining hall after finishing the matter, and interjected very cheerfully: "What are you afraid of? If you come, you will be at ease. It's okay for me to raise one more person here! Do you want to miss a bite of food!"

Ah Jin immediately beamed with joy, stood up and bowed to Hong Han and shouted: "Master, hello!"

What kind of nickname is this? Hong Han was stunned: "What?"

Ah Jin frowned: "Do you want to call Master Mistress?"

Yun has black hair, feeling that her education has completely failed, and the little girl has only been out of the mountain for a few days, and she has learned from others.I can only quickly add meat to her bowl.

In this way, Ah Jin was arranged to live in Qitai where Zhu Qing was, and was entertained with delicious food and drink.Master doesn't live here, but lives in Hou Bo Mansion with Xi Yanbo.Ajin felt that it should be so.Master couldn't accompany her to go out to play, but Hong Han sent guards to take her around, and Ah Jin also felt that it should be so.This girl was born with a big heart, she looked happy and didn't know her worries, she was laughing and joking all day long, and she was very happy.

Among the guards, Ji Kan was sent to show her around.Everyone expressed jealousy for this task, and they conducted a private selection.Jikan stood out because of his age, no wife at home, no child marriage, the standard of the Central Plains dialect, humor, knowing what is delicious and what is not, and many other advantages, and was assigned this glorious task.

Within a few days, Ji Kan took her to eat temple fair snacks, see the ancient battlefield ruins, and go to Xishan to see the hot spring where a certain noble concubine once soaked.The task was easy, but Ji Kan felt that he was dying of grief.He is a dignified guard, and he was assigned to do this kind of job of accompanying the little girl to go shopping, what's the matter?He, a northerner who is not familiar with Xiyan at all, is here as a guide. Captain Thirteenth Uncle wants him to take the opportunity to play too?Or take the opportunity to play?

In short, with the wishful thinking of the old man, Ji Kan had to take Ah Jin out for a walk every day, and brought him back for dinner.God is sorry to see you, the brothers in the team will still surround him asking questions, and from time to time give him some trinkets for Miss A Jin!To be honest, although the little girl is considered a master, she has no airs at all, and everyone likes it when she sees her.But if they want to, they can deliver things by themselves, what's the matter if they keep letting themselves forward things!Are they men!

Ah Jin had a great time!

She has never been so relaxed and happy in her life, it is so right to go down the mountain and join Master!

Every day at dinner, she could see Master, always with Uncle Xi Yan.Yun would come over and ask her where she went today and if she caused any trouble.Uncle Xi Yan is much more interesting, he will tell her more interesting places, more interesting ways to play, and more delicious food, in short, he must not miss it.

Seeing Ji Kan's helpless expression, Hong Han laughed out loud. "Didn't they claim to never get lost? You should have figured out everything around Yancheng by now!"

Jikan had no choice but to let out a long sigh.

No. 15 days after leaving Qishan, Ah Jin felt the restlessness in her inner breath before she went to bed—no matter how hard she practiced, she could not calm down those flames of rebellion.So she pulled out the burden and took out an ice breath pill.

In the Qishan ancient tomb, she once found a record, saying that ice breath pills made of cold spring water supplemented with medicine can replace the effect of cold spring.It can be used as a substitute for both exercises and fire deeds.This is a substitute invented to solve the problem of Qishan's remoteness after the capital moved eastward.

Just as she was about to take the ice breath pill, she heard Yun's voice: "No."

At this time, the night was already deep, and Yun came alone.

"Master!" Just like when she was practicing before, no matter what time, the master always appeared when she happened to need help, holding her wrist to calm her restless breath, or drive away the coldness of the cold spring.

Yun said: "It's not used like this." He checked Ah Jin's wrist pulse, and he knew the condition of her inner breath.He cut off a small piece of Bingxi Pill, dissolved it in a glass of water, and handed it to Ah Jin.

After the ice breath pill melted in that glass of water, it turned milky white, with a faint mist forming on the surface, as cold as cold spring water.

Ah Jin took it and drank it without hesitation.A chilly coolness immediately calmed down the restlessness of the blazing flames, returning it to a peaceful state, just right, no more and no less.

Yun took the remaining half of the pills back into the package, and instructed: "It's better not to be greedy for success, and the flames always need to be practiced little by little."

Ah Jin groaned and said, "But it wasn't like this when Master practiced."

At that time, she had witnessed how the young Yun was soaking in the cold spring, his lips were blue and purple from the cold, and the heat was steaming above his head at the same time.That's why he was able to break through the ninth floor so quickly.In fact, she was only three years younger than Yun. She was bought from the slave market in Yucheng, and she was brought up by his hand all the way. She was both a senior brother and a master, and she witnessed how he practiced kung fu.

Yunzheng was going to explain patiently, and Ah Jin said first: "Master, I know! You took the whole ice breath pill at the beginning, and the cold poison broke out, so you had to practice as soon as possible to save your life. But, it is also because of this , so that the blazing success can be achieved early, and the fire deed can come out of the mountain? It’s a bit bitter, but I’m not afraid of it!”

Ah Jin's eyes were shining when he said these words, and there was a kind of innocence and eagerness that didn't know the world. "I have read some books, Master. It says in the book that one can become a master only by suffering hardships. I don't want to be a master. I just want to reach the ninth floor as soon as possible, so that I can find someone I like , complete the fire contract, and stay with him for the rest of my life!"

Yun was stunned, he never expected his apprentice to think so. "What do you think the Fire Deed is?"

Ah Jin jumped up, and habitually pulled Yun's sleeves and swayed: "Master, don't be shy! Everyone can tell that you like Uncle Xiyan! Uncle Xiyan also likes you very much! You two love each other, this is very good ah!"

Yun suddenly became strict, held her down and said, "Ah Jin!"

The sudden sternness made Ah Jin feel uncomfortable, and Yun said word by word: "It doesn't matter if you go down Qishan Mountain or come to Xihuang. I don't care. But you must know who you are in your heart. You Sooner or later, you will become the prince's shadow, and you can only become the prince's shadow!"

Ah Jin stared at Yun, who also looked directly at her, not giving in at all.She had a sore nose and lowered her head.She saw Yun holding her hand, and the imprint of the firebird on the back of Master's hand was still very clear after a long time.Her grievance finally broke out, holding back tears, she broke away from Yun, and said loudly: "Master, you are biased!"

She was turned and sat against the wall, no longer paying attention to Yun.She didn't turn back to look at the door until she heard Yun's voice of leaving.

She is Yun's only apprentice. Although Qishan still has Aqi in the future, he is only practicing and building a foundation, and has not really accepted the power of Blazing Flames.Different from ordinary martial arts in the world, this overbearing and unimaginable internal energy cannot be obtained by oneself, but must be obtained from the predecessors with the help of the predecessors.It's like a fire seed, cultivated in the body and passed down from generation to generation.

The initial blazing breath in her body was also poured in by Yun bit by bit.It is not until the third floor that it can run on its own and be endless.

She is Yun's only apprentice, but she still feels that her master is eccentric.Why can Master choose someone he likes, but I can't?Why can others be self-willed, but not myself?

She doesn't want any prince, any heavenly royal family.She has never seen them before, so why should she spend her whole life with those people?She just wants to find someone she likes and likes herself, so that she can willingly reach the fire contract and give her life to him.

Thinking in this way, Ah Jin found out the ice breath pill that had a corner missing just now, swallowed it in one gulp, and sat upright to practice.

There is nothing wrong with Bai's teaching, she did practice too slowly.She wants to get to the ninth floor quickly, and then find someone who is pleasing to the eye...

Jikan's flat smiling face appeared out of nowhere, and it was not pleasing to the eye at all, and he led her around in a long-winded manner.

I am the No. [-] traveler in the Northland...Little girl, you should be honored to accompany you to visit Yancheng in person!

Hey, the old site is huge, don't run so fast, what if you lose it!

Hey, I have already eaten three bowls, and I still want to eat, who can support you in the future...

Hey, don't slap someone in the face when you hit someone, a man needs face, understand?
