The second senior brother is back [Rebirth]

Rong Yucui's attitude couldn't be more obvious. Gu Wei is the heir he cultivated, and he will be the head of the sect in the future. How could he be sent to the evil way to be a proton?

What should come will always come, and you can't hide it even if you want to.Rong Yan sighed in his heart, broke the silence and said, "I'll go."

Gu Wei looked up in surprise, and was about to speak, but was glared at by Rong Yuqi, and swallowed back the words.

"Senior brother Gu is the heir trained by the head master. He usually has a lot of affairs in the sect, so he will definitely not be able to leave. Therefore, it is most suitable for me to go."

"That's right, you've also learned the basics." Rong Yucui gave a commendable compliment, and then warned indifferently, "Pack up your things and go to the evil way after the Mid-Autumn Festival. I will arrange someone to escort you to arrive safely. Don't think about it." run away."

"The disciple knows."

Rong Yan was already used to Rong Yucui's attitude, and after responding calmly, he bowed and kowtowed, got up and brushed off the dust from the corner of his clothes, turned and left.

"I'm leaving after the Mid-Autumn Festival, why are you in such a hurry?" Wudao paced up and down in Jianshuyuan, and said anxiously, "No, I'll go tell the senior brother in charge and let him have a grace period of one month. I have to wait for you anyway. After the coronation ceremony..."

"Forget it. Mr. Wudao." Rong Yan grabbed his wrist, "The ceremony of crowning... it doesn't matter, I will leave it to everyone first, Dalang and the others already have the ability to make money, let them pay a lot of money." Take care of the other children until they grow up."

"You..." Wudao was speechless, and after a while he said in frustration, "Don't act like leaving a will, you can say something yourself."

Rong Yan said calmly, "I don't like the scene of life and death. When they start crying, it takes time to coax them. I just leave by myself, no need to send them off."

"What about Eleven Lang? You take him everywhere, he is so smart, wouldn't he guess that you were sent to be a proton?"

"..." Rong Yan was speechless, and said after silence, "I'll tell him personally."

After returning to Beicaoyuan, Gu Wei was waiting for him.

"Senior brother Gu?" Rong Yan was a little confused, "What are you doing in Beicaoyuan?"

"I'm here..." Gu Wei paused suspiciously, "I'm here to ask, is there anything I can help with, packing luggage, or those kids?"

"..." Rong Yan saw through his thoughts at a glance, and said empathetically, "You don't have to feel sorry for me, if it's convenient, just help take care of the wooden house."

Gu Wei scratched his head, not knowing what to say.

"If there's nothing wrong, Senior Brother Gu can go back." Rong Yan semi-compulsively sent Gu Wei to the gate of the courtyard, "You don't have to avoid me from now on. If there are no accidents, I probably won't come back."

Gu Wei opened his mouth to explain, but the courtyard door was completely closed by Rong Yan.

"Brother, are you going to be sent to be a proton?"

Shen Tianmian has been standing at the door of the room, watching the two of them quietly.After seeing Gu Wei leave, he asked.

"Yes." Rong Yan admitted bluntly, and then patted Shen Tianmian on the shoulder, "Eleventh Lang is already ten years old, he is a big boy, he can no longer cling to me, you know?"

Shen Zhoumian pursed her lips, and begged, "Can you not go? I can find a way, don't go, can you stay?"

Rong Yan hugged him distressedly, and sighed long, "It's not me, it would be someone else. I have no father or mother, and I'm alone. It's better for me to go than someone else."

Shen Tianmian pursed her mouth, and couldn't help sobbing softly.

——Stinky old man!Why do you agree to exchange protons? !

In the next few months, Rong Yan started to arrange and deal with the affairs of the wooden house like a normal person.

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, a lot of fireworks and firecrackers were specially bought, and sweet and soft mooncakes with lotus seed paste and egg yolk were made and distributed to everyone.

The children who have been kept in the dark are as happy as the new year.

Rong Yan stood in front of the window, watching them laughing and playing, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.

"Senior brother." Shen Tianmian walked to him, took out a piece of cold jade from his arms, and stuffed it into his hand, "I... originally wanted to work hard to carve it better, and bring it to you when you crown your crown." Yes, but...the time is running out."

This piece of jade is crudely carved, with messy lines, and it can be vaguely seen as an ugly and dull epiphyllum.

Rong Yan solemnly held it in his hand, and said with a smile, "Although it's a bit ugly, it's still your wish, so I accept it."

Every word and deed is as incomprehensible as ever.

Shen Tianmian took out the red string, tied the jade around his wrist, and muttered, "Brother, take this with you, and I'll find you when I grow up. Don't lose it, you understand?"

"Okay, okay. Got it." Rong Yan nodded perfunctorily, and stretched out his hand for him to fiddle with.

It was very lively outside, but the inside of the house was much deserted.

Rong Yan took Shen Tianmian's hand, left through the back door, and climbed to the hillside to enjoy the moon.

Tonight the moon is very round, as big as a jade plate, as if you can touch it with your hand, the cold moonlight spilled all over the ground, Shen Tianmian looked at Rong Yan in front of him now, feeling somewhat unreal in a trance .

...He might really be leaving and not coming back.

But I don't even have a reason to keep him.

"...Actually, I'm a little scared." Rong Yan suddenly said without a word, "I'm going to a place I've never been to again, and I don't have anyone familiar with me."

People who lack emotion tend to feel uneasy due to changes in the environment, but Rong Yan never showed this emotion.

This is the first time.

Shen Tianmian was trying to comfort him in vain, but Rong Yan seemed to realize that he shouldn't say such complaints to him, and changed his words, "However, I should be able to live a good life."

Seeing Shen Tianmian's disgusted expression, Rong Yan comforted him in turn, "After all, I'm still a bit strong. I can cook when I'm hungry, and gather medicine myself when I'm hurt. So don't worry, I'll be safe in the evil way."

Shen Tianmian lowered his head and did not speak.

"Little Eleven Lang..." Rong Yan turned and squatted in front of him, "Don't you want to talk to senior brother?"

"No." Shen Tianmian shook his head, "I just can't remember what to say."

"Then you can just say anything." Rong Yan sat on the ground and patted the withered grass beside him, "Sit down. Talk to me more, I don't have anyone to say goodbye to, only you."

—Yes, only me.Shen Tianmian thought sourly.

He began to tell Rong Yan the folk picture books he had read, the anecdotes he had heard when he was in the Shen family, and the exotic scenery his mother had told him...

Rong Yan listened quietly, interjecting occasionally to tease him, and then fell silent again.

Shen Tianmian didn't know when he fell asleep, and when he woke up, Rong Yan was gone.

The North Grass Yard was tidied up.Rong Yan had very few things, and nothing was left behind that could be taken away.

Shen Tianmian stared at the empty yard for a moment, then ran to the closet and found his small wooden box, opened it, and it contained the small gifts that Rong Yan had given him one after another over the years.

Walnut bracelets for warding off evil spirits, purses bought at temple fairs, straw woven bunnies...

Shen Tianmian carefully pried open the interlayer, and took out a lotus-shaped token made of water bell wood, with a seal script Shen character engraved on the front and Shen Tianmian's birth date engraved on the back.

This is the only thing that can prove his identity.Shen Tianmian hesitated again and again, and put the token back.

Rong Yan was controlled by others in Guiyun faction everywhere, so it was a good thing to be sent to be a proton. After leaving Guiyun faction, he could have a wider world.

If he doesn't like the Western Regions, after a while, he can choose one of the Shen family's disciples who wants to go to the Western Regions for training and exchange him back.

Shen Tianmian's abacus crackled, feeling that everything was under his control.

The escort team traveled day and night, and five days later, they followed the escort team to the agreed inn on the border of the Western Regions.

The person who led the team to meet Rong Yan was a frivolous-looking young man in black. The moment he saw Rong Yan, surprise appeared in his phoenix eyes, and he said attentively, "You are the second senior brother of the Guiyun sect. Honor?"

The feeling of being coveted by others is not very good, Rong Yan unconsciously took half a step back, "Yes, I am Rong Yan."

"That's right. I'm the new leader of the evil way. I don't have a temper. You can call me Brother Qu or Jing Xia."

Rong Yan lowered his eyes and said, "Master Qu is being polite."

He has been driving for five days without sleep, and he is very tired at the moment, and the strangeness brought by the new environment makes him even more uneasy.

Qu Jingxia could naturally see his emotions, and thoughtfully said, "I have already arranged for people to prepare hot water, you can go upstairs to take a shower, have a good sleep, and when you wake up, we will return to the Western Regions."

"Won't this... won't delay the trip?"

Qu Jingxia said frankly, "A few steps further to the west is the territory of the evil way. Why don't you delay? Your eyes are black and blue, and you haven't slept well for a long time. Beauty should have some privileges. Go upstairs and have a good rest."

Seeing that Rong Yan was still hesitant, he added, "I am the leader, listen to me and go to sleep."

... The new leader of the evil way is unexpectedly easy to speak.Rong Yan thought about it, and his heart gradually fell to the ground.

The little proton brought by the evil way is called Chu Wuchu. He is already in his twenties and three years old.

After the two parties exchanged protons, they prepared to take a rest at the inn before setting off to return.

When Rong Yan woke up, the sun was shining on his buttocks.He sat on the bed for a while before tidying up and going downstairs.

"Are you awake? You righteous people have already left." Qu Jingxia waved at him and complained, "It's too rude to leave without saying a word."

Straight away?Rong Yan looked around and was sure that the person escorted by the Guiyun Sect had disappeared, so he said, "Sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Qu Jingxia waved her hand, "It's okay, I was just teasing you, the evil way doesn't have so many rules, you can do whatever you want."

Rong Yan nodded silently, gnawed on the dry steamed buns, and took a sip of the pepper soup.

The next few days were spent in the yellow sand all over the sky.

A group of people rode camels across the desert, preparing to go to the nine cities of the Western Regions.

The road to the desert is boring, Qu Jingxia and others have long been used to it.As a native of Jiangnan, although Rong Yan could endure loneliness, he showed great discomfort in eating and drinking. He lost his appetite for several days and couldn't eat anything.

Seeing his listless look, Qu Jingxia couldn't bear to say, "You can't do this. If you don't eat anything, you won't be able to survive the Nine Cities of the Western Regions. Eat some."

Rong Yan shook his head feebly, remembering that there were still some candied fruits in his bag, he managed to dig out and ate two.

Qu Jingxia saw that he ate the dark food without changing his face, and asked curiously, "What is this?"

"Preserved fruit, good for appetizer." Rong Yan handed him two, "Try it?"

Qu Jingxia took it, and stuffed the letter into her mouth suspiciously.

The preserved fruit tastes sour and sweet, the flesh is firm and juicy, Qu Jingxia ate it with relish, and after spitting out the core, he stretched out his hand, "Is there any more?"

"You can't eat too much. If you eat too much, your stomach will become sour." Rong Yan packed up his burden and ignored him.

Qu Jingxia touched the tip of her nose embarrassingly.

He had heard the name of Rong Yan, the second senior brother of the Guiyun School, and knew that he was a gentle, considerate, tolerant and kind-hearted little beauty. He had once fought against Liu Lixue, a savage girl at the foot of Luliang Mountain, and his strength should not be underestimated.

He really couldn't understand why this kind of person would be sent to the evil way to be a proton, so he came here to greet him personally.

If Zhengdao really intends to give up this person and absorb him under the command of Evil Dao, it is also a matter of making money and not accompanying him.

It's a pity that the little beauty doesn't seem to be as easy to get along with as the rumors say, she doesn't like to talk, and she is very vigilant. All her tenderness is superficial, but she is still indifferent inside, and she is not easily moved by external things.

Qu Jingxia didn't know what method to use to get close to him.

That night, when they set up camp near the oasis, Rongyan Xiaolu made some cumin scones for everyone. Although they were still dry, they were sprinkled with a layer of sesame meat oil and roasted over fire. It was already a rare delicacy in the desert.

All the subordinates knew that Qu Jingxia cherished and loved talents, and praised Rong Yan's cooking skills without hesitation.

Rong Yan lowered his head shyly.

Only then did Qu Jingxia see the shyness of young people on Rong Yan's face.

I can't help boasting, I feel shy so easily.Qu Jingxia ate a mouthful of cakes, and amusedly let his gangsters tease Rong Yan.

Evil people are not bad, but they seem to be too enthusiastic.Rong Yan was powerless against this group of people, Qu Jingxia watched the excitement for a while, and then rushed forward, "Go, go, go and play, does bullying children feel a sense of accomplishment? Really. "

Rong Yan heaved a sigh of relief and looked at him gratefully.

"We've been together for so many days, how do you feel? Are you still used to it?"

"Not bad." Rong Yan licked his chapped lips, "You guys are not as difficult to get along with as I imagined."

Qu Jingxia unscrewed the water bottle and handed it to him, explaining, "The evil of the evil way does not refer to the evil character, but the evil way of our kung fu. If you insist, it is probably similar to your formula of embracing frost."

Rong Yan recalled the previous quarrel between Wudao and Tao Wenqiu, saying that the practitioners of Yongshuang Jue almost never end well, and the appearance of death is ugly, so he couldn't help asking, "Does your kung fu also pick people?"

"Our exercises don't pick people, but it's very difficult to practice." Mentioning this matter, Qu Jingxia also felt helpless, "For example, if an righteous exercise accidentally makes a mistake, it may at most Even if the meridian is damaged, but if there is a mistake in the evil way's cultivation technique, even if it is only a little bit, it is possible to suffer backlash and die tragically on the spot."

Rong Yan was dumbfounded, and after a while he pursed his lips and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

"Fortunately, our Qu family studies puppetry. My father loves me and taught me a lot of tricks." Qu Jingxia had a happy smile on his face, and within a moment, it gradually disappeared, "I am now It's amazing, but it's a pity that my parents will never see it again."

Rong Yan felt Qu Jingxia's sadness and pain instantly.He stretched out his hand and patted Qu Jingxia's head, "Don't be sad, it will get better slowly."

Qu Jingxia wiped away the non-existing tears in the corner of her eyes, and secretly showed a triumphant smile in a place that Rong Yan couldn't see.

Life and death are impermanent in the evil way. Although there will be sad emotions, no one will worry about death. He just wanted to test the bottom line of Rong Yan's emotional fluctuations, so he acted a scene of fatherly kindness and filial piety.

Qu Jingxia continued to work hard and continued to play the tenderness card, "The customs of the Western Regions, food, clothing, housing and transportation are very different from the Kyushu in the Central Plains. You are new here and you are not used to it. If you have any problems, come to me. I am a bit good and can protect you." .”

Rong Yan finally smiled, "No matter how stupid I am, I still have the ability to protect myself."

After a bit of flirting, Qu Jingxia finally brought the relationship between the two closer.

In the middle of the night, the wind blew up, and more than a dozen crows stood on the dead tree branches, quacking non-stop, disturbing people's sleep.

Rong Yan was the first to be woken up. He opened the tent and waved his arms to drive away the crows. Just as he was about to turn around and return to the tent, the crows gathered together again and continued to sing noisily.

Qu Jingxia and the evil people were woken up one after another, and they took up weapons to drive away the crows.

"It's not quite right." Qu Jingxia looked around vigilantly, "The climate here is not suitable for crows to survive, and there are no rotting corpses. How can there be more and more?"

In less than a cup of tea, a dense crowd of crows hovered over the oasis and began to attack people.

Attacks from all directions made it hard for everyone to guard against, and many bloodstains were added to the exposed skin.

"Master Qu." Rong Yan used the frost-holding formula to freeze a large group of crows to death, and shielded Qu Jingxia with difficulty, "I told your people to retreat quickly. Someone must have done this on purpose, I'm afraid..."

"what--!"

A shrill scream interrupted Rong Yan's words, and everyone looked in horror, the man's right eye had been pecked out by a crow, and half of his face was dripping with blood, the great pain made him lose the ability to resist, and they couldn't save him. Watching him being pecked to death by crows.

"Retreat! Retreat immediately!" Qu Jingxia yelled, but she still couldn't stop her men from dying tragically.

"Okay, darling, stop."

The immature voice of a child suddenly appeared, the crow stopped attacking, and with the torn flesh in its mouth, it hovered over the crowd again, and a bloody rain fell from the oasis.

Qu Jingxia's subordinates are running out.Rong Yan looked at the boy sitting on the dead tree branch, his heart was beating wildly.

These crows are following his command, if he can be controlled...

"Huh?" The boy seemed to be aware of Rong Yan's thoughts, and said cheerfully, "Don't act rashly, I just need to move my fingers, and they will all die!"

Rong Yan put down his hand, still looking at him warily.

"That's right, let's be peaceful." The boy jumped down from the tree, walked up to Qu Jingxia, and tiptoed, "I wanted to take you back, but you are the leader of the evil way." , it won't let me touch you, so I just take him away!"

He twitched and held Rong Yan's tight arm, and said obediently, "Big brother, come with me, I will let them go if you come with me, and besides, those senior brothers of yours are all here with me! "

Rong Yan's pupils shrank slightly.

"No." Qu Jingxia flatly refused, "This is a proton sent by Zhengdao. I will never let him go with someone of unknown origin."

The boy narrowed his eyes, "But I'm here to inform you, not to ask for your consent. Keep him or die, you can only choose one."

As soon as the words fell, the pitch-black crows spread their wings and stared at the ten remaining people from the evil way.

"Master." The scarred subordinate whispered, "Let's leave first, and it won't be too late to come back to save this kid."

Qu Jingxia hesitated.

The subordinates who had followed him for more than ten years could naturally see his thoughts, and immediately made a gesture, and the nine of them had an epiphany, and hurriedly dragged Qu Jingxia away.

Rong Yan stood where he was, without saying a word from the beginning to the end.

Qu Jingxia reluctantly turned her head, only in time to see the corner of Rong Yan's clothes being lifted up by the night wind... and the strange gleam in the boy's eyes.

——I'm really sorry, Master Qu.For my own safety, I can only delete your memory, let's see you again!

The boy's happy voice sounded in his head, Qu Jingxia didn't have time to analyze the meaning, he just felt dizzy, his eyes went dark, and he lost consciousness instantly.

Pingsha is reckless into the yellow sky, and the sound of camel bells mixed with the scorching wind echoes in the depths of the desert.

Beads of sweat flowed into the eyes, and the stung person couldn't open them.Rong Yan rolled up his sleeves and wiped his sweat, and said weakly, "Qu Jingxia, you must have taken the wrong way, right? It's been three days, why haven't you arrived at the Nine Cities of the Western Regions yet?"

"Why are you in a hurry? It will take nine days at the earliest, and this is only the third day." Qu Jingxia sat on the camel, wrapping her sand-proof cloak tightly, "Don't worry, I've walked this road, let's not talk about it. A hundred times, you can't go wrong."

"I feel like I'm dying of heat." Rong Yan lay on the camel's back, his face pale with sweat, as if he might pass out at any time.

In July, when the weather is hot, even in the Central Plains and Kyushu, it is rare to be cool and cool. Rongyan merged with the Wuyin Mountain Spirit, and his body temperature is much lower than ordinary people. He is not heat-resistant. Seeking death.

Shen Tianmian has been closely following him, seeing that his complexion is so bad, she hastily turned on the water bottle and took a few sips of water, "Brother, do you feel better now?"

Rong Yan nodded weakly, straightened up and continued walking.

Before he had gone far, his body began to wobble again, Shen Tianmian only thought that he was hot and had no strength, and was about to reach out to help him.Unexpectedly, Rong Yan tilted his body and fell straight down.

Shen Tianmian was so frightened that his heart stopped suddenly, he quickly reined in the camel, and went down to see Rong Yan's situation.

Qu Jingxia followed and touched Rong Yan's forehead, "The body temperature is normal, there is no fever, it should be due to lack of water and collapse."

Shen Tianmian felt that something was wrong, hugged Rong Yan into his arms, and touched his forehead, "No, his body temperature is lower than normal, this temperature should be a fever."

Qu Jingxia said lightly, "Fever is troublesome. Your brother didn't follow, I left all the medicine in the inn."

The four separated at the foot of Sanwei Mountain, and Shen Congyue continued to investigate the missing sects in Kyushu, the Central Plains.Qu Jingxia took the two of them to the Nine Cities of the Western Regions.

He has never been very careful, and Shen Congyue has always helped take care of small things such as preparing medicines. When Shen Congyue is away, he will naturally forget about it.

"Is there a place to rest near here?" Shen Tianmian sat on the back of the camel with Rong Yan in his arms, "It may also be that the climate is not acclimatized, let's rest for a while and see the situation."

"Alright. There is an oasis nearby, come with me." Qu Jingxia sighed helplessly, and led the two to the oasis.

Subconsciously, he rejected that oasis, and he didn't even want to stay there.

The author has something to say:

The number of words has increased today, and the manuscript is almost finished.

After the manuscript is saved, it will be updated with [-] words a day.

It may also be released directly.

I estimate that it can be done before 25, and the plot is pressed again and again.
