Hard to be a master

Shen Ziliu stared blankly at the jade pendant Guan Jingxuan handed over, with all kinds of emotions in his eyes.After a long silence, he held the jade pendant in both hands and looked up at Guan Jingxuan with a more pious and solemn expression than ever.

"The intention of the master to give jade, the disciples must remember it for life."

As soon as Shen Ziliu finished speaking, he was caught off guard by Guan Jingxuan's embrace.Guan Jingxuan stroked his hair gently, and said in a gentle voice: "Then in the future, you don't have to be so sincere and fearful in front of your teacher. You are my only apprentice on the inside, and you are a legitimate Kunlun disciple on the outside. From a moment on, Kunlun has a place for you to live in, and no one can take it away, so you don’t need to always watch your words and look trembling. At least in front of your teacher, I hope you can live a more comfortable and casual life.”

After the initial astonishment, the expression on Shen Ziliu's face gradually relaxed, and the light in his eyes softened.Hearing the end, he had to close his eyes to slightly relieve the soreness rushing up his nasal cavity. After burying his head in Guan Jingxuan's embrace for a while, Shen Ziliu replied softly "Yes".

After receiving Shen Ziliu's response, Guan Jingxuan let go of him in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "That's the end of today's practice. Xiaoliu, how about taking you down the mountain for my teacher? You haven't been down since you arrived in Kunlun." Mountain, it must be boring for you to face the snow or be your teacher every day.”

Shen Ziliu quickly restrained his emotions, and said with a normal expression: "When you are with the master, the disciple will never feel bored. As long as you are with the master, no matter where you go, the disciple will be happy."

Guan Jingxuan couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this, and said, "You child, where did you learn these glib words...Okay, don't talk anymore, go back to the bamboo house, pack up and change clothes, we will set off in half an hour. "

After making preparations for Shen Ziliuzhi, Guan Jingxuan put it away and fell into a dream, and took out a blooming snow lotus from his sleeve, tore off a petal, and wrote the words "checked, pitiful and credible" on the petal with spiritual power. Raising your hand upwards, the petals whirled twice in the air and then suddenly exploded into dots of fluorescent light, which disappeared in the wind in a blink of an eye.

Guan Jingxuan's spell with Lumeng is also called "Lumeng", which allows him to enter the consciousness of the person who heard the sound of the flute and explore the memory of others.A person who has undergone the technique does not know it, and only has a dream that is very fulfilling to him.Because it is a memory hidden in the consciousness, some may not even be remembered by the practitioner himself, but also because it is a human memory, sometimes there will be some confusion and deviation, and it is not completely true.However, there are no obvious contradictions in the few memories of Shen Ziliu, and Guan Jingxuan has no sense of disobedience, so most of them should be true and credible.

Guan Jingxuan has almost never used it since she acquired the technique of entering a dream.Firstly, "Dreaming" requires a lot of spiritual power from the caster, and it takes a lot of energy to use it every time. Second, to successfully perform Dreaming, the person being cast must have no resistance to the caster and be completely relaxed.Although it is not completely impossible to "enter the dream" by force, once encountering resistance from monks stronger than the caster, the spell will backfire and hurt the soul of the caster.Guan Jingxuan didn't want to use other people's trust in him to read other people's memories, which is why he gave Shen Ziliu Jade Pendant, meaning it was only this time, not another one.

Saving Shen Ziliu at the beginning was only out of a moment of compassion, and he didn't plan to get to know him in depth.Now that they have been together for a few months, and knowing about his past, Guan Jingxuan suddenly understands why this child is always so wary, why he tries to be cute and useful later on, and why he wants to stay in Kunlun so much.This made Guan Jingxuan feel sorry for him, and secretly decided to treat this little apprentice better in the future.

Time flies, especially for cultivators who have been isolated from the world all year round and have often retreated for several years.It seems that in the blink of an eye, two years have passed in a hurry.

In the middle of the corner, Guan Jingxuan lazily got up from the couch, and it was not surprising to see a breakfast on the table that was kept warm with spiritual power.Ever since he mastered the method of using spiritual power, it has become Shen Ziliu's daily compulsory coursework to leave a warm breakfast for Guan Jingxuan before going out. Guan Jingxuan has said many times that he has bigu and does not bother to make him breakfast every day, but Shen Ziliu insists on doing so And have fun.I don't know where this kid learned the skill secretly. Although the ingredients are very limited, he can make breakfast without repeating the same for ten days and a half months, and the taste is getting better and better. craft.

After finishing the tofu nao on the table in a leisurely manner, Guan Jingxuan went to the kitchen to wash the dishes and walked to the backyard. She took out three golden lume that looked like they had just been picked from her sleeve and put them on the stone table in the courtyard. After a while, a vigorous black figure leaped in from the snow-covered fence, ran to the stone table lightly and skillfully, and jumped up with a single jump.Stretched out its snow-white paws to touch the small yellow flowers on the table, and then lowered its head to sniff, the little civet quickly ate one of the flowers.

Two years have passed, but the appearance of this civet has not changed at all, it seems that it has not grown up at all, but the color of the spiritual flame at the tail has changed from the original blue to indigo.One day, Guan Jingxuan accidentally discovered that it likes to eat golden dew plums, so she went to find a few plants and planted them in the walnut Qiankun bag, and picked a few flowers every few days and put them in the backyard, which really attracted this little thing. .Slowly, perhaps because it was often fed by Guan Jingxuan and didn't sense any malice from him, the little civet acquiesced in allowing Guan Jingxuan to approach him. When he was in a good mood, he would pat the back of Guan Jingxuan's hand with his fluffy tail, teasing his hand. My heart is itchy.However, once he made the gesture of stroking the kitten, the little guy would immediately turn around and run away.

Guan Jingxuan didn't forget that the civet cat came for Shen Ziliu, but for some reason, every time she saw Shen Ziliu, the civet always acted hostile, as if "if you dare to come over, I will scratch you to death".And Shen Ziliu didn't seem to have much affection for this civet, and every time he looked like he wanted it to leave quickly, so he still couldn't subdue it.Guan Jingxuan looked anxiously, but she also knew that there was no use in rushing about such a matter. It is estimated that there are still some unresolved opportunities between this person and a cat.

Sitting at the stone table, Guan Jingxuan watched dotingly as the civet finished eating the three flowers, propped her chin up and said persuasively, "Little cat, look at my little apprentice, who is extremely talented and hardworking, you and him There is absolutely no disadvantage in making a spiritual oath."

I don't know if it was an illusion, Guan Jingxuan felt that the little black cat seemed to roll its eyes at him, and slammed the stone table with its snow-white front paws, then bit the back of his hand, and then jumped off the stone table like a slippery fish. The table disappeared outside the courtyard wall in an instant.

"..."

Guan Jingxuan looked at the small red tooth marks on the back of his hand, a little bit dumbfounded - what about the soft mouth that was said to eat people?Forget it, let Xiaoliu find a way to solve it later.

Looking up at the sky, it was almost time for Shen Ziliu to finish his practice. Guan Jingxuan got up and brushed his skirt, leisurely stepped out of the garden gate to draw out the floating cloud fan, and went straight to Wujian Peak to Yufeng.After he left, the civet that had already run away suddenly came in from the snow-covered courtyard wall. It squatted at the base of the wall and vomited twice, throwing up all the three flowers it had just eaten, and then I used my paws to run a hole in the snow at the base of the wall, planed all the chewed petals in and buried them with snow.

After burying the petals skillfully, the civet strolled proudly and gracefully to the edge of the small lotus pond in the backyard and sat down. The two civets in the pond quickly swam out of the lotus leaves and landed in the water in front of it, raising their heads slightly and lightly. Touching the water surface, it seems to be breathing, and it seems to be whispering something to the civet.

At this time, the golden eyes of the civet cat were much sharper than when they were in front of Guan Jingxuan, and there was a hint of fierceness of a beast.It silently looked at the two spirit carps in front of it for a moment, then raised its head to stare at the water lily bud in the pool with its sharp horns exposed for a long time, then turned and left.
