Hard to be a master

Jiuli's words made Shen Ziliu fall into deep thought. He had fantasized about the situation where he and Guan Jingxuan were in love, but he never thought that those fantasies could become reality.But Jiuli's words touched that secret corner, and he couldn't help but really start to think about the feasibility of Jiuli's suggestion.But soon, he pressed the momentary hesitation - because Guan Jingxuan would not like it.

"I think..." Shen Ziliu unconsciously turned the teacup in his hand, "I'm satisfied if I can keep the status quo."

"Really..." Jiuli didn't seem surprised by his answer at all, just smiled and looked outside the pavilion, and said, "The rain has stopped."

Shen Ziliu was taken aback for a moment, turned around and saw that the sun had cleared outside the pavilion, and then he heard a familiar voice not far away.

"Xiao Liu? Can you hear me?"

Hearing Guan Jingxuan's voice, Shen Ziliu suddenly got up, and couldn't wait to say goodbye to Jiuli before rushing out of the Guanyu Pavilion.The moment he stepped out of the pavilion, the cool morning breeze blowing towards his face, mixed with the fragrance of fir, made Shen Ziliu suddenly excited.

After walking a few steps, Guan Jingxuan and Zi Lan came out from behind a big tree, and Shen Ziliu immediately went up to meet them.

"Master! Are you all right?"

"Xiao Liu, where did you go just now?"

Both master and apprentice spoke at the same time, and they were silent for a while. Finally, Guan Jingxuan said first: "We are fine, but we were suddenly trapped in a fog just now, and we couldn't get out no matter what. Where's Xiaoliu?"

Shen Ziliu briefly talked about the encounter with Jiuli just now, and only concealed the fact that the other party was divination for him.

"So, the mist just now is an illusion created by other Taoist friends fighting? Even I was trapped, and those two must be masters..." Although Guan Jingxuan's cultivation base is not too high, in the The attainment in illusion is much higher than that of ordinary monks, and so is the resistance. "By the way, does Xiaoliu know who the senior I met just now is?"

Shen Ziliu nodded and said, "That senior is—"

In the middle of the conversation, Shen Ziliu suddenly fell silent, because he suddenly realized that he couldn't remember the name of that person just now.

Seeing that Shen Ziliu's expression was wrong, Guan Jingxuan knew that he was probably in the other's way, and raised his hand to probe between his brows, but he couldn't feel any trace of being casted by others, so he couldn't help showing surprise.

Shen Ziliu also came to his senses, although he couldn't remember the person's name, he still didn't forget what happened just now, he immediately pulled Guan Jingxuan and turned around to walk back, but stopped suddenly after a while.

At the place where he had just taken shelter from the rain, there was a tall fir tree standing in the clouds, and the rain-watching pavilion had disappeared, not even a single tile was left.

Shen Ziliu's face suddenly became ugly, because everything in front of him showed that he had also fallen into someone else's illusion just now without knowing it, and he chatted foolishly with someone for a long time.Although he has only just formed a golden core, and his cultivation base and experience are relatively inexperienced compared with those of the Kunlun masters, he has achieved a small amount of success, and he has never suffered such a loss in the hands of other monks.

Guan Jingxuan was well aware of his apprentice's strong temperament, so he explained: "Don't worry too much about Xiaoliu. There are many high-level people living in seclusion in Mount Emei, even the seniors in the tribulation period. It's not shameful for you not to see through it. Don't you think that the teacher is also trapped in the illusion?"

Shen Ziliu looked at Guan Jingxuan with a face of shame: "It's the disciple who is too useless. He clearly said he would protect the master, but in the end he even..."

Zi Lan interjected: "Master is right. I didn't know I was in an illusion just now. I think the cultivation level of the caster must be far superior to you and me. Instead of getting entangled in this, Brother Shen might as well think about it. That person pulled us What is the purpose of entering the illusion? You talked with him just now, did the other party reveal anything or did you do anything unfavorable to you?"

Guan Jingxuan nodded and said, "Zi Lan is right. Didn't you drink that man's tea just now? Do you feel any discomfort now?"

While reminiscing, Shen Ziliu handed his wrist to Guan Jingxuan, asking him to check his spiritual veins and dantian: "He just told me that you are trapped in an illusion, and you can't get out for a while, so let me take shelter from the rain with him for a while... He also told me a divination."

Guan Jingxuan was a little surprised: "Divination?"

Shen Ziliu lowered his head uncomfortably: "I don't know why I agreed at that time..."

Thinking back now, he has never believed in asking gods and hexagrams, nor does he have a familiar temperament. It is really strange that he let go of his mouth so easily to a stranger just now.

"There is no abnormality in the Lingmai and Jindan, and there is no trace of the Gu in the body." Guan Jingxuan put down Shen Ziliu's hand, helped him straighten his cuffs, and said, "I think you are so easily affected by the illusion. Promise the other party to do fortune-telling for you. Did Xiao Liu reveal his birth date to that person?"

Shen Ziliu shook his head and said: "No, that person didn't ask anything, he just asked the disciple to write a word at will, and he interpreted the past experience of the disciple from it."

"If you don't ask the horoscope of your birthday, you can calculate the past with just a random word. Such monks are probably rare in the entire cultivation world... If you think about it this way, that person may be quite famous in the cultivation world, so he deliberately cast a spell to make him You forgot his name."

Zi Lan asked, "Then what's his purpose?"

"This is also where I am puzzled. Now I can only confirm that Xiaoliu has fallen into the other party's illusion just now, and the illusion that the two of us are trapped in is not necessarily his handwriting. It is not easy to maintain two illusions at the same time. Since Neither of us was harmed in the illusion, and I can't think of a reason why he would use two illusions to separate us." Guan Jingxuan looked at Shen Ziliu: "Speaking of which, what did that senior predict for you?"

Shen Ziliu was silent, and said vaguely: "It's just a small trouble for the disciple, it's not too important."

Guan Jingxuan was slightly surprised when he heard the words, and couldn't help but put on a smile and said, "What's bothering Xiaoliu? Why don't you tell the teacher?"

Zi Lan jokingly said, "Master, brother Shen's troubles are nothing more than that he is not strong enough, the progress of his practice is too slow, and Master has accepted new apprentices. If you look at him more and praise him every day, you will be fine." Alright."

Guan Jingxuan let out a "poof" laugh, Shen Ziliu rolled his eyes at Zilan unabashedly, and raised his hand as if to hit him, Zilan jumped back immediately to dodge.

"Okay, okay, since everyone is fine, and we can't figure it out, let's put this matter aside for now." Guan Jingxuan patted Shen Ziliu's back twice to comfort him, and said softly: "It's not early Now, let's hurry to find the water source."

Shen Ziliu stared at Guan Jingxuan for a moment, then suddenly took his hand, turned his head and walked forward.

Guan Jingxuan was puzzled: "Xiaoliu?"

Shen Ziliu said confidently, "I'm afraid I'll be separated from Master again."

Guan Jingxuan looked at Shen Ziliu's reddish ears and shook his head with a smile, thinking that this apprentice was really immature, so he let him lead him.

"Oh, I'm also afraid of being separated from Master, and I want Master to lead me away!"

Zi Lan's smiling voice came from behind, and Shen Ziliu quickened his pace without looking back.After the two people in front walked a certain distance, the smile on Zi Lan's face slowly dissipated, and she turned her head to look at the cedar tree that entered the clouds, her expression gradually serious.

There was a faint trace of spiritual power near the cedar tree, so weak that Guan Jingxuan and Shen Ziliu didn't even notice it. If the spiritual power wasn't too familiar, maybe even he would have ignored it.It's just that this spiritual power should never still exist in the world, after all, he saw with his own eyes how that person was hit by a thunderbolt and his cultivation base was exhausted and his spiritual veins were completely destroyed.

Could it be as Ling Xifeng said...

If it was that person, why did he seek out Shen Ziliu?When it comes to the grievances and grievances of the past, if he wants to find him, he should find Guan Jingxuan, right?

It seems that I have to find an opportunity to investigate carefully. After all, that person hated Guan Jingxuan so much in the past. If he wants to harm Guan Jingxuan again this time, he must find a way to protect her most beloved little apprentice for Qi Yue.

With a plan in mind, Zi Lan didn't stay any longer, and started to chase after Guan Jingxuan and Shen Ziliu.
