Chapter 1 Brother

Ding Yin was chopping firewood in the backyard. He was working non-stop, but his eyes were blank, and his thoughts had already gone to nowhere.When Ouyang Shaogong walked into the backyard, he saw such a picture.He couldn't help frowning, stepped forward and put a hand on Ding Yin's shoulder, and called out with concern: "Little brother?"

Ding Yin was wandering in vain, when suddenly there was a sound in his ear, although the sound was not loud, it still surprised him, the ax in his hand lost his grip for a moment, and almost fell on his foot.

Ouyang Shaogong couldn't help laughing when he saw Ding Yin's panic-stricken appearance. At this moment, Ding Yin was picking up the ax and putting it aside, when he looked up, he saw Ouyang Shaogong looking at him with a smile on his face.Looking at his smile, Ding Yin felt a warm spring breeze blowing into his heart, making his heart warm and soft, and he couldn't help but put a smile on his face.

Looking at the smile on his face, Shao Gong sighed in his heart: Sure enough, his little junior brother still looks cuter when he smiles.Thinking so in his heart, he asked, "What were you thinking just now, and you didn't even hear it."

Thinking of his embarrassment just now, Ding Yin couldn't help turning slightly red on his face, so he changed the subject and asked, "Senior brother, what can I do for you?" Passed him, with a smile on his face, and said in a cool tone: "Why, can't I come to see you if I have nothing to do?" After finishing speaking, he sighed again and said, "Since the younger brother doesn't want to see me, then I will leave Yes." After speaking, he was about to leave, then turned around, and his sleeve was grabbed by someone as expected.

Ouyang Shaogong turned his head and saw Ding Yin was pulling his sleeve and explaining in a hurry, "I didn't mean that, brother, don't be angry." Ouyang Shaogong saw that he was really anxious, and felt a little guilty in his heart, He was only a little angry when he saw that Ding Yin was always depressed these days, and he avoided asking him several times.In fact, Ding Yin was quite innocent when he said it. It's not that he didn't want to say it, but even he himself didn't quite understand what was going on, and really didn't know what to say.

Seeing that Ouyang Shaogong didn't speak, Ding Yin thought he was really angry, and his tone became more urgent. "I really didn't mean that, Shaogong came to see me, I was too happy, and..." Before he finished speaking, he was slapped on the forehead.Ouyang Shaogong stretched out his hand and said helplessly, "Why, forgot again?"

Ding Yin was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses, opened his mouth, raised his eyes to see the half-smile expression on Ouyang Shaogong's face, and swallowed back the rebuttal, he hesitated to speak with a look of grievance, It made Ouyang Shaogong feel like a wicked young man who bullies children, and he felt a little embarrassed. "I'm joking with you, you take it seriously." He stretched out his hand to caress the top of Ding Yin's hair, saw Ding Yin raised his head, looked at him with bright eyes, and continued, "I heard that tonight is Qin Chuan's During the Lantern Festival, every household will put lanterns by the river, do you want to see it?"

Ding Yin's eyes became brighter, he grasped Ouyang Shaogong's hand, and nodded vigorously, "That's great, Shaogong! Let's go and see it together, it must be very beautiful!" Ding Yin has never seen a lantern, the boy The nature of mind is always full of curiosity about things that have never been seen before.

Ouyang Shaogong smiled, slowly pulled out his hand, bent his fingers and tapped Ding Yin's forehead again, "What do you call me?"

Ding Yin lowered his head and called out honestly, "Brother."

"Let's go, go change your clothes, and we'll go down the mountain." Ding Yin responded and entered the room. Ouyang Shaogong sat on the chair outside and waited for him, slightly lost in thought.It wasn't until his fingers unconsciously tapped on the table and made a slight sound that he pulled his attention back.Ouyang Shaogong looked at his fingers, thought of the two taps on Ding Yin's forehead just now, and Ding Yin's aggrieved expression, and secretly wondered if he had gone too far. After all, he couldn't get away with it.

They met two years ago.At that time, Shaogong had just returned from exorcising demons, and he was not surprised when he heard the news of Master's retreat. Master's cultivation had reached a bottleneck, and it was normal to go to retreat, but now that the senior brother is not there, there is nothing in the huge heartless palace. He was alone, so it was inevitable that we would chat a little.

In the afternoon, Ouyang Shaogong went to the back mountain to play the piano as usual, but unexpectedly saw a strange boy there.The young man has a handsome appearance, and he is practicing sword in the peach forest. Although he is practicing a sword, what he holds in his hand is just a branch.The Palace of Unrequited Love is the place where the master lives, ordinary disciples are not allowed to come, Shaogong thought for a while, and then realized that this person should be the little junior brother mentioned in the master's letter.Ouyang Shaogong looked at the spot for a while, then nodded silently in his heart. Although the practice time was relatively short and he hadn't reached the level of flowing water, every move was full of momentum.He walked slowly into the stone pavilion, set up the piano, burned incense, and played.

Ding Yin finished one move and was tilting his head to recall the next sword move when he heard the sound of a zither behind him.The sound of the piano is ethereal and quiet, pleasant to the ear, like a spirit bird dancing among the peaks, or like a clear spring flowing through the forest.Ding Yin turned his head, and saw a person sitting in the stone pavilion playing the piano, with a concentrated expression, gentle eyebrows and eyes, like a piece of warm jade under the sun, elegant and gentle.He was only wearing ordinary disciple clothes, but he looked extraordinarily good-looking. Ding Yin looked at the person in front of him and couldn't move his eyes.

Ouyang Shaogong naturally noticed Ding Yin's gaze, but he ignored it, and only raised his eyes to look at Ding Yin until the end of the song.Ding Yin was slightly startled, then the corners of his mouth lightly lifted, bringing out a clear smile, Shao Gong lowered his head, feeling in his heart, only people with pure and pure thoughts can show such a clean smile.Thinking of this, Shao Gong stood up and walked towards Ding Yin, but before he could speak, he saw that the expression on Ding Yin's face changed, as if he was hesitant to speak.

What's going on here?Shao Gong asked suspiciously, "Does Junior Brother have something to say?"

"My name is Ding Yin." After Ding Yin finished speaking, he hesitated for a while before continuing, "The Palace of Unrequited Love is where the master stays, ordinary disciples are not allowed to enter."

"Oh?" Shaogong raised his brows and eyes slightly, and said with displeasure, "Junior Brother, are you trying to drive me away?"

"Since you call me Junior Brother, you should be clearer than me..." Ding Yin looked at Ouyang Shaogong in front of him, and suddenly couldn't speak.Shaogong lowered his eyebrows, pursed his lips and said nothing, seemed very sad, Ding Yin couldn't bear it, wanted to comfort him but didn't know what to say.Ding Yin's heart is constantly at war, the master is in retreat, and the brothers have not returned yet, he has been alone in this heartless palace for seven or eight days, and he really wants someone to accompany him.This person in front of him is not only good-looking, but also plays the piano very well, so it would be best if he could stay.But what about the rules of the sect?He didn't care if he would be punished, but he didn't want to lose Master's face because of it. Thinking of this, he made up his mind.

Ding Yin raised his head, and was about to speak when he saw Ouyang Shaogong pouted, and the scene of a child crying with pouted lips suddenly appeared in his mind.Surprised, he hurriedly grabbed Shao Gong's wrist with one hand, and said hastily, "Don't cry, at worst I won't tell others."

Shao Gong couldn't help but froze at the corner of his mouth, how did he see that he was going to cry?It seems that this junior is not only pure and kind, but his thinking is also very... different from others.Naturally, Ding Yin didn't know what Shaogong was thinking. Seeing Shaogong looking at him strangely, he thought he didn't believe his words, and said, "It's true! I won't tell others." He spoke sincerely and sincerely. Firm, Shao Gong listened to another thought in his heart.

"Then...thank you, Junior Brother, but since it's a violation of the rules, it's inconvenient for me to stay for a long time." After Shao Gong finished speaking, he wanted to leave, but his wrist was still held by someone, so he had to stand where he was.Ding Yin followed Shao Gong's gaze, and when he saw his hand, he quickly let go, looked away, and said in a low voice, "I don't know your name yet."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Ouyang Shaogong." Generally speaking, even if you are introducing someone from the same sect, you will add the name of the master's hall before the name, but Shaogong is not at all worried that Ding Yin will find something unusual.Sure enough, Ding Yin didn't feel that there was anything wrong, he had only started for half a month, and he didn't know many rules well.

"Shaogong, I'm the only one in the Palace of Unrequited Love now, and no one will find you here." Shaogong didn't expect him to call him that, the Changliu sect is strict, and he's used to being called "senior brother and younger brother" on weekdays Now, when Ding Yin called him Shao Gong, he only smiled and didn't correct him. There was no one else in the Palace of Unrequited Love, so he didn't have to worry about being overheard.What's more, both of them lived in the Palace of Unrequited Love, and it would only be a matter of time before they were discovered, and it would be better to correct him at that time.

Shaogong thought this way, but unexpectedly Ding Yin practiced sword in the back mountain all day, leaving early and returning late, if not for Shaogong going to the back mountain to play the piano every day, the two of them might not even see each other.Shao Gong also asked him why he worked so hard.

"Besides me, there are two other disciples under Master's seat, who are eliminating demons at the foot of the mountain. I am Master's disciple, but I have just started with swordsmanship and Taoism. I am far behind my senior brothers. I must work hard to catch up." Okay." When Ding Yin said this, his eyes were burning, full of fighting spirit.If you look at him like this, it's not easy to tell him that one of the senior brothers he mentioned is sitting opposite him.

So, the call came out of nowhere.It wasn't until three months later when Bai Zihua returned to the mountain and said to Ding Yin: "This is your second senior brother Ouyang Shaogong, you should follow the etiquette and call him senior brother." Ding Yin didn't know that he had come to practice with him every day for the past few months. The man of the sword is the brother he has always wanted to see.Thinking of Ding Yin's blank expression at that time, Shao Gong couldn't help chuckling.

When Ding Yin came out after changing his clothes, he saw Shao Gong sitting at the table, pursing his lips and chuckling, and couldn't help asking, "What are you laughing at, brother?"

"It's nothing, I just thought of some past events." Of course, Ouyang Shaogong couldn't tell Ding Yin what he thought of, but he still remembered that his little brother didn't talk to him for several days because of this matter.He stood up and said, "Let's go."

When they walked out of the house, they saw Bai Zihua standing outside the courtyard waiting for them. When Bai Zihua saw them coming out, he just nodded lightly. Ding Yin and Shaogong knew that he had always been indifferent, so they didn't say anything else. The three of them headed down the mountain together. go.
