being with you

① On first sight

Xuandao seven years, early winter.

The wind gently lifted his sleeves, and his hair tried to cover Ruan Cheng's eyes, but it still couldn't stop him from seeing through the gap, the light, falling snowflakes that he had never seen before from the eyes of the boy opposite.

White and bright.

He couldn't help thinking, is it because God knew my expectation and brought the snowflakes to me?

What I miss, the snowflakes I have seen in books...

"I've met the Great Elder." The third elder who led Ruan Cheng subdued himself, and after the Great Elder nodded his head, he got up and looked at Jiang Du, "Who is this?"

The Great Elder chuckled lightly, and said, "I figured out that he is the Son of Destiny, so I accepted him as a disciple."

The third elder was obviously stunned, then lowered his head, concealed his jealousy, and said happily, "Congratulations to the first elder for gaining a disciple."

After the Great Elder laughed, he was about to take Jiang Du up the mountain. Ruan Cheng looked at Jiang Du without blinking, hoping to see a few more snowflakes.

And the young man with hidden snowflakes in his eyes also stared at Ruan Cheng. In his memory, he had never seen such a clean and lovely child.

②On the Great Elder’s Teachings to Jiang Du

[-]. After saying goodbye to the third elder, the first elder brought Jiang Du to his mansion.

"Jiang Du." The Great Elder sat on the first seat, looking down at Jiang Du who was kneeling below.

"The disciple is here."

"Since you are my disciple, you should have a name. I calculated that you will have a catastrophe, a catastrophe of love, family, friendship, kindness, love, all mixed together. To pass this catastrophe, with your luck , will be alone in the sky."

"If you can't pass it, you will definitely lose your soul."

"For this reason, I give you the Dao title 'Don't rely on'. Don't rely on people for love, don't rely on books for skills, and don't rely on cause and effect for things."

Don't be emotional, don't blindly believe in people's words, and then improve your own strength, and don't expect too much in something, because the world is impermanent, and cause and effect are not credible.

"You should keep it in mind."

[-]. "Don't lean, you put away your sword." In the morning light, Jiang Du was waving a sword five hundred times a day in the courtyard. The great elder was stroking his long beard, standing not far away in white clothes.

Hearing what the Great Elder said, Jiang Du put away his sword, walked up to the Great Elder, and called Master softly.

"Don't rely, it's been a few days since you entered Mogui Mountain, have you read all the classics I asked you to read?"

"The disciple has finished reading and memorized everything."

The Great Elder smiled slightly, and looked up at the sky again, his pupils hidden under the heavy eyelids were slit by the sunlight that never disappeared all year round.

He stroked his long beard again, and sighed softly, "The records in those books are not comprehensive. What is not written in them is that I, Mo Guishan, was not originally a Xuandao sect, but a well-known monastic family." As he said, he Turned around and entered the house.

"Then why did those ancestors change their family to Taoism back then? They were forced to do nothing?"

Hearing this question, the Great Elder smiled noncommittally, and continued, "It's just a battle between the direct line and the collateral line. In the past, the Ruan family paid more attention to the growth of the direct line, and always had more resources than the collateral line. For their own benefit, some people took the initiative Started a war."

"The resources of the direct line are rich, and the individual strength is better than that of the collateral line, but it can't stand the hugeness of the collateral line, and the number of people is far apart. In the end, it was evenly matched. After the struggle, no matter whether the direct line or the collateral line are left. Save one."

At this point, the old man smiled inexplicably, "Without the protection of the family, those who survived were running around in endless pursuit. The old wounds had not healed, and they all died after that."

"And the patriarch of my sect is just one person who was lucky enough to survive. It is rare for a cultivator to have heirs. In order to strengthen our sect, the patriarch had no choice but to change his family into a sect."

"And the old ancestor missed his family so much, he didn't want to admit that he died, so he brought some vagrants with spiritual roots from the secular world, and took the surname Ruan. Or added a surname to the disciple's Dao name."

"However, the current Mo Guishan and the real Ruan family are only thirteen elders and the son of the third elder,"

"Ruan Cheng..."

Looking at Jiang Du who was quietly listening, the Great Elder sighed.

Jiang Du, I accepted you into the immortal sect, and tried to protect your future. If it is the grace of re-creation, at this moment, I have not hidden a word from you. I hope you will remember this grace and protect the sect.

Ruo Ruo... If you really can't live through the calamity, if you become a demon, don't...don't harm them...

③ On the death of the Great Elder

[-]. After the third elder saw that the first elder brought Jiang Du, he did not continue to go down the mountain. Instead, he returned to the mansion on the top of the mountain and pushed the large tea set in annoyance.

"Hmph, Son of Fortune, what a Son of Fortune! His Great Elder is so lucky, he can pick up a Son of Fortune wherever he travels down the mountain, and accept him as an apprentice!"

"I don't believe it, he has the son whose fate surpasses destiny! I'll just wait, wait for the day when he has an accident! Then, then I will..."

"Father..." Ruan Cheng, who was silent at the side, couldn't help but speak before the third elder finished his old words.He clearly knew how jealous his father was, and he was worried that he would hurt Xuehua.

"Father, please don't hurt..."

"Fuck off! Useless things," the third elder turned his head and gave Ruan Cheng a look, and sneered, "Just like your mother, with no strength, no roots, and nothing to look at except for a face!"

"I am a person who steps on the sky, how can I have you?"

Hearing this, Ruan Cheng's expression turned ugly, but he didn't have any more emotions.It's over, he thought.

⒉ Xuandao eight years, Lixia.

Seeing that Jiang Du has achieved something in his studies, the Great Elder was relieved and decided to travel again.The third elder, who was worried and never had a chance to strike, was so excited when he heard this. On the first day the first elder came out of the mountain, he contacted the people he had contacted earlier, and chased and killed him all the way.

The elder who was killed as soon as he came out of the mountain asked himself, he never told anyone other than the other twelve elders about this matter, knowing that someone from the sect wanted to teach him to die, although he was angry, he couldn't turn back, so he had no choice but to do so.

He fled all the way for more than four months, and finally passed away at the autumnal equinox. From this day on, the third elder has been looking forward to the news to come back to Mo Guishan, and then offered to ask someone else to be his teacher at the meeting.

He was also worried that Jiang Du would not choose him, and asked Ruan Cheng to win people's hearts. The friendship of children of the same age is the easiest to establish.

It can be said that although the third elder's plan was not clever, it went very smoothly and quickly achieved his goal.

But he never calculated that the Great Elder would have a spring night with an ordinary woman during the April period when he fled, and because of this, he had a child, breaking the peace after a few years.
