self-cultivation separation

It is said that although there are five senior brothers on Qianshan Peak, the fifth senior brother has not yet been born, and the four of them can only water the fifth junior brother when they are free like the master, and talk to him with him. Can't do anything outside.

Therefore, the fourth senior brother has always been like the youngest one on the mountain, and the three senior brothers have taken care of him and reacted slower than ordinary people. In this way, the fourth brother has never had any worries. Just wondering for a while and then forgetting, it is the character that can fall asleep when you touch the pillow, and eat with chopsticks. Even if there is a thunderstorm tonight, he still snores loudly.

Bai Changyou is different. The elder brother is much older than them, and he left Qianshan Peak early. As the second elder brother, he has taken on more responsibilities to help the master teach the younger brothers. Xu Qingxiu and the fourth younger brother are almost his favorite Having grown up, they also have a clear understanding of their personalities and hobbies.

As soon as he heard the thunder, the first thing he thought of when he woke up was what would happen to Xu Qingxiu, so he quickly put on his coat and pulled his shoes and walked towards Xu Qingxiu's room.

The third junior brother has been afraid of thunder since he was a child. As for the reason for his fear, no one knows, but who can have nothing to be afraid of? He is also afraid of snakes, so Bai Changyou doesn't care. He just remembers Xu Qingxiu's childhood. The first time there was a thunderstorm, he would come to "find the senior brother", and then hugged his arm and did not let go.

Until later Xu Qingxiu grew up slowly, as if he had grown from a small child to a tall and straight boy overnight, and he would no longer cry to find his senior brother when there was a thunderstorm.

At that time, Bai Changyou was worried, and went to visit Xu Qingxiu's room during the rainstorm. The young man was standing in the middle of the room, his face was pale and tense, but he still gritted his teeth, looked at him firmly and said: "Brother, I'm fine, you go back."

Bai Changyou was relieved, distressed and sad, but he still smiled and said to close the door and leave.

Everyone will grow up, it is impossible for him to be with his younger brother all the time, there are some difficulties and fears that he must overcome independently.

He could more or less guess what Qingxiu was thinking, he just felt that the senior brother had a senior brother's life, how could he keep asking the senior brother for help and causing trouble for the senior brother in such a matter.

He is gratified that his junior brother has grown up and is sensible, but he is also slightly sad. As he grows up, he has been classified as "others" by his junior brother—no matter how afraid he is, the third junior brother will only hug the closest person in his heart do not let it go.

Ever since Xu Qingxiu entered the secret realm of Qiankun, the two senior brothers have been together less and more often. Bai Changyou didn't know whether the third junior brother had overcome the fear of thunder. In addition, Xu Qingxiu did not come back with them after the meeting at night, so he couldn't help but faintly worried.

He felt that he was like a mother, no matter how big the child was, no matter how powerful he was, he still had to worry about it. Anyway, Xu Qingxiu still couldn't beat him now, so he regarded him as a rookie.

Bai Changyou reached Xu Qingxiu's door and knocked with his index finger, but there was no response from inside.

He raised his voice again and shouted: "Qingxiu! Qingxiu! I'm your brother!"

Still no response inside.

Bai Chang was in a hurry and was about to break in when he suddenly felt something approaching behind him. He took a step back, turned around, and saw a round and lovely white jade gourd slowly descending from mid-air, with two people sitting on it. The suzerain and his three younger brothers.

His third junior brother was still wrapped in Sect Master Mu's cloak, as if he was being held in someone's arms.

Bai Changyou was very puzzled by the strange shape of this strange combination, and was stunned for a while, watching Mu Zongzhu "support" his junior brother to approach.

Saying "help" is more polite, and it can better show the good character of Mu Zongzhu who is willing to help others, but in fact that gesture is almost half hugging.

When he got closer, Xu Qingxiu's face was completely exposed. Looking at Bai Changyou, he weakly called out to his senior brother.

His forehead was red and swollen, his temple hair was messed up, his face was extremely pale, his eyes were dull, and his body was weak.

Bai Changyou couldn't help looking at Mu Lingchen suspiciously, what did you do to my junior brother, ah no, what happened to my junior brother?

Mu Lingshen felt very guilty when he saw Senior Brother Xu Qingxiu.

It’s like a boy taking his sweetheart out to play, but the sweetheart runs into a tree by himself. When a boy sends his sweetheart home, he always feels guilty when facing his sweetheart’s family—even if it’s not his fault after careful calculation, it’s his own fault. How can you have the face to propose marriage in the future if you don't take good care of the other party, such a useless and unreliable appearance?

Of course, only he knows when Mu Zongzhu feels guilty, and no one else can see it.

In Bai Changyou's eyes, the Mu suzerain is still indifferent and alienated. With a cold face and lowered eyes, he handed his junior brother into his hands, and said calmly: "I was out on an errand, and I happened to meet Xu Shaoxia on the way. Seeing that Xu Shaoxia was not in good condition, I decided to send him off. I'm back. Since Senior Brother Bai is here, I'll take my leave first."

Hearing Mu Lingshen's words, Xu Qingxiu slowly loosened the corner of the cloak he was holding tightly, squeezed out a polite smile and cupped his hands in thanks: "Thank you Mu Sect Master, since Mu Sect Master still has something to do, don't delay, if you have a chance Qingxiu would like to thank Sect Master Mu and make an apology."

He is always so polite. If it wasn't for his intentional design or intentional force, he wouldn't call himself by name, wouldn't call himself husband, and wouldn't take the initiative to hug himself. In the last year or two in the secret realm, he was obviously much better. , but after coming out of the secret realm, everything seemed to be back to the original point.

I can only watch from a distance, as if walking on thin ice, not daring to overstep.

Sect Master Mu suddenly had a wish to share with his daughter. If the secret realm hadn't been closed, at least at that time, they would only have each other as their companions, and he could live with him every day without looking for any reason.

Mu Lingshen didn't know what to say, and finally just nodded, turned around and put on the jade gourd, only the black cloak left a flying arc.

Bai Changyou had already sorted out the relationship. It was probably because his junior brother went out, but he was frightened by a thunderstorm, and then happened to be seen by Mu Zongzhu and brought him back.

At this time, the wind and rain had gradually subsided, and Xu Qingxiu's face gradually returned to normal. Bai Changyou looked relieved, and said with a smile, "Sect Master Mu actually called me senior brother!" "Xu Shaoxia", when calling himself "Senior Brother Bai", does it mean that he is particularly famous and qualified among the younger generation?

That's all for others, but that's the head of the Ice Xuanzong, Muling Shen, this senior brother Bai is enough for him to be happy for several days.

Xu Qingxiu regained his energy at this time, and seeing the ecstatic look of the second senior brother, he couldn't help but said: "Senior brother... Beiyan Demon Lord still calls you a lady, doesn't the Demon Lord's wife sound more majestic?"

Bai Changyou put on a straight face, and stretched out his hand to pat him on the head: "You stinky boy, are there any big or young people who make fun of senior brothers every day with their black history?" The most annoying thing is that his seniors are one or two taller than him They are all tall, and now they have to stretch out their hands even if they want to lower their heads. Fortunately, Qingxiu is already an adult, otherwise wouldn't he have to step on his toes in two years to teach his junior?

The second brother was sad.

However, the second senior brother’s distress came and went quickly, and soon he remembered another thing, and he pulled Xu Qingxiu into the room and said to him happily: "Qingxiu, you told me that Sect Master Mu is a good person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside. I still don't quite believe it, but today it seems to be true, you said that you and him just met by chance and haven't been in touch a few times, and he takes good care of you."

Xu Qingxiu thought to himself that not only did he meet by chance a few times, he even knew exactly how many moles the Mu Sect Master had on his body, where there was more hair and where there was less hair.

Bai Changyou felt that he was old, and when he was old, he liked to recall the things when he was young. He didn't care that Xu Qingxiu didn't respond enthusiastically, so he continued to chat with him, only regretting that he had nothing to drink.

He said: "Qingxiu, do you remember when you were a child? When you were first taken up the mountain by the master, you didn't talk all day long, and you didn't call me senior brother. When you were scared by thunder, you would come to me and call me senior brother. It took a year or two before my temperament slowly changed. Now I am so happy to see you so lively and cheerful senior brother. You said that if you have the same personality as the master of the scene, the senior brother can't even find anyone to talk to, how sad it is. .”

Xu Qingxiu always suspected that his second senior brother had finished the entire Qianshan Peak speech, and his master had filled in the rest.Eldest senior brother, myself, and fourth junior brother combined could not speak for the second senior brother alone, and if the master was present, there would be no room for the three of them to intervene.

But he doesn't have much memory of how the second senior brother said he was silent when he was a child.

Xu Qingxiu rubbed his nose and said truthfully: "I don't really remember, but I still remember the situation when Master accepted me as an apprentice."

The Yungu Fairy Sect goes to the Lower Realm to recruit apprentices once every ten years, and only selects children and teenagers aged four to 16 who are talented and have spiritual roots and wisdom roots in the mortal world.Xu Qingxiu was about five years old back then, so he was considered relatively young.

They all knelt and sat in the Ascension Hall, the largest hall of Yungu Xianmen, waiting for the elders, peak masters or immortal masters from each peak to come and choose.Like many sects, those who are selected become inner disciples and get the master's biography, while those who are not selected can only become outer disciples.

All immortal elders have their own criteria for selecting disciples. Excellent aptitude is one thing, and it also depends on whether the character is purely kind, whether it is persevering, whether it is suitable for cultivating immortals, and character is difficult to define, and it is also difficult to see through it at a glance. The so-called "knowing people, knowing the face, not knowing the heart", even if it is right now, may have the risk of being wrong in the future.

Therefore, more is actually just a close eye.

Daoist Chihuang didn't intend to accept apprentices that year, but he just walked around the Ascension Cloud Hall as if going through the motions, but he fell in love with Xu Qingxiu at a glance and brought him back to Qianshan Peak.

Seeing Xu Qingxiu talking about this, Bai Changyou's eyes lit up, and he remembered: "Oh! Yes! I remember! I still remember when Master said to go to Shengyun Palace for a visit, but when he came back, he would kill you Brought it back. I also sneaked around the Ascension Cloud Palace, and wondered that the aptitude of the younger brother was not outstanding, and he didn’t look like a clever child, and he was quite edible. Why did the master fall in love with such a younger brother? .Master told me, 'This kid looks stupid and stubborn, and at first glance he is my Chi Huang's apprentice'."

After speaking, it seemed that he recalled something funny, and he slapped the table and laughed wildly.

What's stupid and stubborn, Xu Qingxiu's face turned blue when he heard it, and whispered to Bai Changyou who was laughing wildly: "Senior brother!"

Bai Changyou glanced at Xu Qingxiu's face, smiled and sat up straight on the table, and said, "No, no, brother now of course thinks you are a very rare and good brother. Master is unreliable, so don't listen to him, hahaha Ha ha……"
