Jing Lan is seven years old this year, despite his young age, he is the first disciple of the Great Guardian of the Nine Heavens Sect.

Every day at [-] o'clock, Jing Lan would take his juniors to get up in the morning to practice kung fu.

After the morning exercises that day, Jing Lan went to pay his respects to Master as usual.He carried the small wooden sword behind his back, and trotted all the way to the Samadhi Cottage.

Jing Lan stood outside the door and straightened her clothes before raising her hand and knocking on the door.It wasn't until there was a sound from the door: "Come in." He pushed the door open and walked into the room.

Yanqing got up late today, and had not had time to change in the future.Jing Lan came to Yanqing's bed and saluted politely: "Master, good morning."

"Walk slowly, you're sweating from running." Yan Qing took a sip of tea, raised his head to rinse his mouth, and asked, "How is your homework done today?"

Jing Lan took the teacup from Yan Qing's hand and put it aside, then handed over a clean handkerchief, and then said: "I have completed everything Master explained yesterday."

"Good boy." Yanqing wiped his face with a handkerchief, got up and went behind the gauze screen to change his clothes: "After breakfast, you lead the juniors to recite yesterday's lecture in the Liuxiang Palace, and I will come back later for a test."

Jing Lan asked, "Is Master going out today?"

Yan Qing said from behind the screen: "Yes, the sect master summoned me."

Jing Lan looked at the reflection on Yanqing's screen and didn't speak for a while. After a while, he made up his mind and said: "Master, can I go together?"

Yan Qing came out from behind the screen. He reached out and touched Jing Lan's head, and said in a gentle voice, "The head of the sect has been involved in educational affairs recently, so let's not touch his bad luck." Yan Qing stuffed Jing Lan's hand. A candy: "When the time is right, I'll take you to see him again."

After Jing Lan left, Yan Qing sighed quietly.Now on Jialou Mountain, the last person Lin Jinhuan wants to see should be Jing Lan.

Jing Lan is the child Xue Yao rescued from the Lotus Breath Hall four years ago.Later, although Lin Jinhuan wanted to kill him, at the last moment he asked Yanqing to go back and bring the boy out.

After the child was rescued, Lin Jinhuan threw him in Chaoshan Hall, and ignored him for several days and nights.Yanqing really couldn't see it, so he had to bring the dying child back to raise himself, and named him Jinglan.

At that time, everyone on Mount Jialou was screaming at Jing Lan. After Lin Jinhuan dealt with a few disciples who made a big fuss about Jing Lan and stirred up the flames, no one dared to talk about Jing Lan anymore.

When Yanqing walked into Qingxintang, Lin Jinhuan had already got up.Since Jiutianmen recaptured Jialou Mountain from the imperial court, Lin Jinhuan has been living here alone.

Lin Jinhuan personally took a plate of tea and put it in front of Yanqing, Yanqing finally couldn't help but said: "A majestic sect master, who lives in the guest room for a long time, and has no one to wait on him, what a shame." He snatched it from Lin Jinhuan's hand. He filled the cup in front of him by himself, and kept muttering: "Why do you say you are bothering? Is it because the Liuxiang Palace is not grand enough, or the Chaoshan Hall is not spacious enough."

Lin Jinhuan glanced at Yanqing and said, "Keep your voice down, you have repeated these two sentences hundreds of times, are you still bored?"

Hearing the words, Yan Qing glanced at the inner room with his head, then leaned into Lin Jinhuan's ear and said mysteriously, "What? He's still sleeping?"

Behind the plain tulle was Lin Jinhuan's bedroom. At this moment, the lamp was still lit in the inner room, and a faint fragrance wafted from behind the curtain, lingering at the tip of Yanqing's nose.

Lin Jinhuan gave Yanqing a blank look like he was looking at a fool, and said, "What stupid things are you talking about? He's already dead."

You know he's already dead.Yan Qing sat down on the chair again, thinking of rejoicing: It seems that he is not crazy yet.

Three years ago, Lin Jinhuan ordered the massacre of all the Suzaku cavalry soldiers who surrendered on Jialou Mountain, leaving no one alive.The fire continued to burn on the pile of corpses for more than half a month, but failed to burn them all.

Xue Yao's body was also randomly thrown in an open space, waiting to be burned with the rest of the body.That night, as soon as the young disciples on duty lit the torches, they saw their new sect master descending from the sky, taking Xue Yao's bloody corpse away like a gust of wind.

At that time, Lin Jinhuan had just taken over the position of leader, and there was turmoil in the sect, and a lot of waste was waiting to be done.During the day, he was busy purging sects and reorganizing the teaching affairs.At night, he went back to Qingxin Hall alone, shutting the door and not seeing anyone.Later, when Yanqing heard about this, he was worried about Lin Jinhuan, and he and Jin Yi secretly squatted at the base of the wall outside Qingxin Hall for several nights.

The two of them worked hard for a few days and didn't find anything unusual, and saw that Lin Jinhuan was decisive in killing and attacking during the day, and he behaved as usual.No one dared to speak out to persuade him, so he had to let him go in the end.

Later, Lin Jinhuan invited Qin Liushuang from Witch Doctor Valley to visit Jialou Mountain a few times, and Guang Yanqing, who was touched by Qin Liushuang, met Xue Yao several times in Qingxintang.Perhaps it was because Guan Shanyu was in Xue Yao's inner mansion, the corpse had not decayed for several years, as if it had just fallen into a deep sleep.

"I came to you today to discuss something." Lin Jinhuan said calmly.

Yan Qing came back to his senses, he thought for a while and said: "But because of the murder of Ding Qi, the leader of the Yubei branch altar?"

"Exactly." Lin Jinhuan said: "This matter is not as simple as the report from Yubei. You and I need to go there ourselves."

Yan Qing said clearly: "When will we leave?"

Lin Jinhuan said, "Tomorrow morning."

"Understood." Yan Qing said: "I will prepare."

After the two discussed some teaching affairs, Yanqing recalled that his disciples were still waiting for him to go back to teach, so he offered to leave.Yan Qing said before leaving: "I heard an interesting thing recently, do you still remember Ji Ning?"

"Princess Ji of the Longevity Palace." Lin Jinhuan laughed, and said mockingly, "No one in Kyushu knows that person who is as bright as the moon and the breeze."

"After Ji Ning was crippled by Monk Jingming in the Lotus Breath Hall that day, he did not know what tricks he used to scare the monk into saving their group from the mountain." Yan Qing said: "After he went down the mountain, he first practiced hard. Dharma, followed by giving alms to the public, and finally knelt down in front of the gate of Little Chang’an Temple to apologize, just came and went, and was actually introduced as a confidant by Jingming.”

After hearing this, Lin Jinhuan said, "I didn't expect this monk to be a fool."

Yan Qing said worriedly: "Four big families suffered setbacks in Lianxi Hall four years ago, and I'm afraid they won't let it go. If Little Chang'an Temple also cooperates with them, it may be bad for us."

"In the previous battle, both the Xianmen Baijia and the imperial court were seriously injured, and they would not dare to attack Jialou Mountain again in the short term." Lin Jinhuan paused, and continued: "Jinyi has already repaired the mountain. Although she is not as good as Elder Wen, she is more than enough to deal with these wine bags and rice bags. As for the old monk Jingming, I bet he will not go into this muddy water again."

Yan Qing was relieved for the time being, before leaving, he took another sneak look at the inner room, and then opened the door and went out.

Early the next morning, Lin Jinhuan and Yanqing set off to leave Jialou Mountain.Although Ding Qi's matter was strange, but Lin Jinhuan personally took care of it, and it was handled smoothly.Ten days later, the two set off for Jiutianmen.

On the way back, Yanqing received a letter from Jinyi, and he sat on the horse and read it at a glance, and was so shocked that he almost fell off the horse.

Lin Jinhuan took the letter from Yanqing, glanced down at it hastily, and hurried back to Jialou Mountain alone.

Jin Yi said in the letter that Shi Zhanpeng, who had served as the chief envoy of Jiutianmen during the Lin Dynasty, suddenly rebelled. He rebelled late at night and wanted to take advantage of Lin Jinhuan's unstable foundation to seize the position of sect master.Although Shi Zhanpeng had been put to death, many places on Jialou Mountain were set ablaze by him, including the Qingxin Hall where Lin Jinhuan lived for a long time.

The Qingxin Hall had already been burned to ashes, and Xue Yao's body had disappeared.

Lin Jinhuan returned to Jialou Mountain that night, standing in front of the ruins of Qingxin Hall, his heart was so calm and terrifying, like a pool of stagnant water.

In the past three years, Lin Jinhuan often recalled the day when Xue Yao died. He still remembered everything that happened that day, but he couldn't remember what he was thinking in his heart when he drew his knife and stabbed Xue Yao.

Is it hate?Yes, but not all.

At this moment, he was looking at Qingxintang, which was burnt into a piece of scorched earth. The memories of the past flooded in, and he finally remembered everything.

At that time, he had a thought in his mind:

Couldn't love him more.
