Master Xiao thinks about those years

The slow voice lingered in the ears like running water, making people go back to the past.

The past was turbulent, and in an instant, Fu Nian felt that such a long time had passed, so long that those remaining days seemed like a distant past life.

Nine years ago, how old was he? At the age of 19, it was in that year that his master Yan Chen accepted his second apprentice, Meng Huan.

Meng Huan broke into his life unexpectedly.

That day, he made tea for his master Yan Chen in the Nine Cold Palace. The tea was his master's favorite Jingting Lvxue, which he brought back specially when he went down the mountain.After brewing the tea, he took the tea with great anticipation and went to the main hall to look for Yan Chen.

Walking on the road, imagining Yan Chen's smile when drinking tea, Fu Nian involuntarily pursed the corners of his mouth.

But when he got to the main hall, he couldn't laugh anymore.

Because he saw a little boy, wearing tattered clothes, smiling cutely and serenely in front of his master.

"Ling Chen, come here quickly. This is Meng Huan, and he will be your younger brother from now on."

Yan Chen's voice was gentle and friendly, but he felt a thunderstorm exploded in his mind.

The limbs of the whole person were stiff and the blood was cold.

junior...

Is it Master's apprentice?

Why does the master still accept apprentices?

Then from now on, he will not be the only...disciple of Master.He is no longer the only one for his master...

In an instant, Fu Nian felt that he had been violated. The cute boy in front of him took away everything he should have.

From now on, half of Master's smile and care will be given to this person.

He can't accept it, and he can't accept it.

That is the master he regards as a god, the faith and god in his life.

He looked up at him so humblely, secretly loved him.So much so that his master would be jealous of even the slightest smile from others.

How could he tolerate others to share his master's love?

He just wants to selfishly own all of his master, including his master's glance and smile, every word and every breath of his, his flesh and blood body, and even his soul.

His heart was crazy and selfish, so when he found out that Meng Huan had become his junior, an inexplicable hatred ran through his blood.

The 19-year-old Fu Nian hated the boy in front of him, hated his cuteness, and his innocence.

He even felt that the existence of this boy was a mistake.At the same time as he hated, he began to panic, panicking that his master loved the boy more than he loved him.

During that time, Fu Nian was plagued by nightmares, and when he was awakened by the nightmares at night, he had a crazy idea under the stimulation of fear: kill Meng Huan and imprison his master.

After killing Meng Huan, he no longer needs to share his master's love with others.

Imprison Yan Chen, so that his master can only have him and one apprentice in his life, and can only smile at him, talk to him, and be gentle with him.

What an exciting and outrageous idea this is!

The corner of Fu Nian's mouth raised uncontrollably when he thought that he would be able to have all of Yan Chen by doing so.

However, soon, the smile on his face disappeared, replaced by shame and guilt at the corners of his brows and eyes.

Fu Nian, who was lying in the quilt, tightly grasped his arm, gouged out his chest, his sharp fingers sank deep into the flesh and blood, leaving a deep and terrifying blood ditch.

What was he thinking about?

He actually wanted to kill Meng Huan and imprison... his master?

What's the idea?

It's not as good as a pig or a dog!Disregard human relations!

How can a person like him deserve to stay beside his gentle and pure master?How do you deserve to stay in Shang Yuzhong, the great sect of cultivating immortals who help the righteous way?

Fu Nian felt desperate for his own thoughts, and the endless shame submerged him like a raging flood, suffocating him.He is so unbearable, selfish, humble, and shameless.

He felt he was hopeless.

After having this crazy idea for the first time, the rune quickly suppressed it.

But every time he sees Meng Huan, the sinful thoughts in his heart will not come out unconsciously, especially when he sees Yan Chen calling Meng Huan with a smile, the sinful thoughts are even more overwhelming.

Sin is like a seed. Once it is planted in a person's heart, it will sprout and take every opportunity to grow into a towering tree.

And the opportunity that Fu Nian seized was the Yaoyao cave assessment in the last nine months of that year.

Shangyu is a great sect of cultivating immortals who escaped from the world. The sect is secretive and its rules are strict. Disciples are not allowed to go out at will, and outsiders are not allowed to peek at them. Only when the world encounters disasters will Shangyu's disciples be born.

It is also because of Shangyu's low-key and mysterious style and his temperament that will come out in every chaos.

As a result, Shangyu has a great reputation among the people, and everyone in the world praises: "Shangyu's disciples are Piaomiao immortals."

Therefore, every year at Yu Chunyin's selection meeting, there will be many folk children kneeling outside Qianjie's gate, wanting to seize this unique opportunity to become the "Piaomiao Immortal" praised by the world

There were too many people coming, so the faction naturally tried every means to screen out the redundant ones.

The method that Shang Yu came up with was the assessment of the Alchemy Cave every September.

This is an assessment that Shangyu's disciples must conduct every year, and it is also an assessment with cruel characteristics.

Prisoner Cave, as the name suggests, is used to imprison monsters. There are 99 demon prisoner caves, where Shangyu captured monsters from all over the world. Some are fierce, some are bloody, but all of them are extremely lethal.

And what Shangyu's disciples had to do was to pair up and enter the prisoner's cave to participate in the test.Only by killing the monsters in the cave can they pass the test and continue to stay in the cave.

Shangyu valued the ability of his disciples and did not interfere in the assessment process.

So once a disciple enters the Prisoner Cave, there are only two possibilities, pass the test or be killed by a monster.There is no failure to leave Shangyu alive.

Of course, the disciple has the choice to abstain from voting. To abstain from participating in the Yao Prison Cave assessment also means that he will lose the title of "Piao Miao Immortal".

For the examination of the Prisoner's Cave, considering the power of the monsters, two disciples were chosen to enter in pairs, and the disciples could choose another teammate to enter the Demon's Cave.

Nine years ago in the Prisoner's Cave, the person who was paired with Fu Nian was Meng Huan.

Nine years ago, it was Meng Huan's first year in Shangyu, he was exactly nine years old, and he was the youngest disciple of Shangyu.Smallest means poor strength.

Nobody wants to pick a nine-year-old as a teammate.

The day before the assessment, everyone went around trying to recruit others to become their teammates, and even the talismans with impure blood were pulled several times.

But no one looked for Meng Huan, and he was never cared for from the beginning to the end.

Little Meng Huan in white was standing in the corner of the school grounds, his body was small and short, like a little wax gourd that had been abandoned by others, surrounded by people buzzing, he seemed to be in another world.

Xiao Menghuan knew that he was poor, and he didn't want to drag others down.So he just stood there wringing his fingers, lowering his little head, looking at the ground.

During the hour-long twinning meeting, he just stood there for an hour.In the end, when everyone left contentedly, he still stood where he was.

He didn't dare to go home, or in other words, he didn't dare to go back to Jiuhan Palace, he didn't dare to see his master Yan Chen.

Before participating in the pairing meeting, Xiao Menghuan was called aside by Yan Chen when he was in Jiuhan Palace.

"Meng Huan, if, Master means that if, at the pairing meeting, your brothers and sisters didn't notice our little Runze, then Runze will come back and tell Master. Master will have a solution."

Asked kindly and ingeniously, Yan Chen's smile was gentle and gentle, this smile fell into Xiao Menghuan's eyes, as if falling into a star, Xiao Menghuan felt extremely warm, warmer than the sun in spring.

In an instant, all the anxiety and uneasiness in my heart disappeared.

But until the pairing meeting was over, Xiao Menghuan dared not tell his master that no one wanted him.

One is to lose face, and the other is that he doesn't want his master to do that.

His master is Qing Hui Daoist, respected by everyone above, and a disciple of the spirit spell taught by the head of the sect.If Yan Chen finds a way for him, he definitely doesn't have to worry about the assessment.

But Xiao Menghuan knew that doing so was making an exception, covering up, and not allowed.This will damage the dignity and reputation of his master.

He can't do that.

But if he doesn't do this, he can only abstain.

Shangyu will not leave the weak, and if he abstains, he has to leave Shangyu. Xiao Menghuan doesn't want to leave Shangyu, Jiuhan Palace, or Yan Chen.For him, Jiuhan Palace is already his home.

So he didn't know how to do it, he was nine years old and he couldn't do anything.I can only stand in the school field and continue to stand.It seems to be a wooden man.

The sky does not understand people's thoughts, thunder is rumbling, dark clouds are densely covered, and heavy rain falls regardless of the season.

Bean-sized raindrops fell on little Menghuan, on his immature face, and also on his helpless heart.

The heavy rain ravaged the entire school grounds, and within the vast rain curtain, there was a tearing thunder.

Like a wild animal roaring, little Meng Huan trembled all over, bent his knees in fright, squatted in the heavy rain, and wrapped his arms around himself.

"Master..."

Tears fell together with the rain, Xiao Menghuan murmured and sobbed, not knowing what to do.

"Meng Huan?"

The cold question came from Fu Nian.

"Master, brother..."

Little Meng Huan raised a face full of rain and tears, and called out to the black boy who was holding a bamboo leaf umbrella in front of him.

Across the dense rain line, the boy's face was cold.

"You haven't returned to Jiuhan Palace for so long, are you deliberately trying to make Master worry?"

Fu Nian's words were cold and sneering, and he didn't look good.

"No, no..."

Xiao Menghuan tried hard to explain something clearly, but he couldn't come up with the so-called explanation.

He has always been afraid of this "senior brother", although he does not hate him, but he feels that his "senior brother" always hates him for no reason.

Little Meng Huan didn't know what he did wrong, he really wanted to please Fu Nian, but he was stupid and often made Fu Nian treat him coldly with just two or three words.

Just like now.

"No, no, what do you want to do? Pretend to be pitiful in the rain?"

Fu Nian sneered, Xiao Menghuan panicked.

"No, it's not... senior brother..."

"I do not have……"

Fu Nian didn't speak, but still sneered, he just hated Meng Huan's pitiful appearance.

Master sympathized with him, but he couldn't read the amulet.

"Master, brother..."

"I didn't mean not to go home..."

A voice as small as a mosquito resounded under Fu Nian's feet. The voice was so weak that it would be drowned out by the majestic rain if it remained silent.

But Fu Nian could hear clearly, and the faint voice was extremely clear.

He heard the rain-soaked child at his feet say, "It's not intentional not to go home."

Home……

Didn't say "go back to Jiuhan Temple", but said "go home"

This boy, whom he hated so much, regarded Jiuhan Temple as his home.

Like him, he regards Jiuhan Temple as his home...
