Retired shadow guard's guide to raising cubs

Mo Ran found that something was wrong with Mu Jinnian these days.

Usually, the boy would walk around in front of him whenever he had something to do, calling "Mo Ran" long and "Mo Ran" short.Now, after exchanging ideas with Bai Yu in the morning, the two of them ran hand in hand without seeing anyone.

Suddenly, no one was pestering her, and Mo Ran actually felt a little uncomfortable.

Although A Ming is also a child, Jiang Qiubai and Yan Junyan are taking care of him most of the time.In addition, he was simple-minded, lively and cheerful, and would say anything he wanted, so Mo Ran didn't bother him too much.

Mu Jinnian was different.He grew up with Mu's parents, he is more thoughtful than Amin, and his thinking is more complicated than Amin's, and because of his background, he can't leave it to Qiubai and the others, so when he encounters any problems, he can only think about them by himself.

It's a pity that he thought about it alone for a long time, but he couldn't understand it.Only then did I remember that there was another Zhang Yi to ask.I think my friends should be better at these than me.

Zhang Yi was dragged out of the medicine refining room by Mo Ran early in the morning, and was forced to listen to Mu Jinnian's two or three things. He rolled his eyes and said, "You are a hard worker. It's not easy to have some leisure time. Why bother asking for trouble?"

Mo Ran looked at Zhang Yi disapprovingly: "Your apprentice is also following."

Zhang Yi: "What? Ah Yu?...Come on, tell me what's wrong with them first, and I'll give you the details."

This is from the day before yesterday.

Moran warmed and nourished Mu Jinnian's meridians all night until early morning as usual.While he was meditating and adjusting his breath, Mu Jinnian woke up.

The first thing the young man did was to look for someone in the house. Seeing that Mo Ran was still there, not only did he not come up to say hello happily, but he struggled for a while before he came up to him: "Mo r,... my lord .”

When he heard the "Master Mo", he didn't realize for a moment that he was addressing himself. He didn't open his eyes until Mu Jinnian yelled again, and then he saw that there were some young men who were always in front of him. Standing in front of him, saluting respectfully.

Mo Ran asked, "What are you doing?"

Mu Jinnian glared at him, turned around and ran away.

Zhang Yi asked strangely: "What's so surprising? Ah Yu greets me like this every morning when he sees me."

Moran shook his head.

Bai Yu has a calm personality, handles things with a circle on the outside and inside, and never lacks in etiquette.

But Mu Jinnian's family background is prominent, and moreover, as the eldest son of the direct line, and the future head of the Mu family, he was raised a little... arrogant.Even being in exile didn't make him let go of these prides.When they rescued him before, they didn't want to follow Qiubai and the others to call themselves "Master Ran", but there must be something strange in such a sudden change of mouth.

"That's true..." Zhang Yi scratched his head, "What else? It can't be the only thing that is wrong with Boy Mu."

Of course more than that.

Moran continued to recall.

After all, Mu Jinnian was a child at heart, he thought it out as soon as he thought it out, so even though Mu Jinnian hid from him all day, Mo Ran was puzzled and didn't go into it.

Until noon the next day, Mo Ran reckoned the time to hunt some wild game, and packed it for Mu Jinnian and Bai Yu for lunch.

Before he could do anything, he saw Xiao Yang running to him, shouting in panic, "Lord Mo Ran, Lord Mo Ran, help me! It's on fire, it's on fire! The master is refining medicine, and the woods are on fire !"

Mo Ran stabilized Xiaoyang first, telling him not to panic, and then released his consciousness to spread to the direction Xiaoyang pointed.

There was a fire in the woods for some reason, and Bai Yu who was nearby was using his sword to clear away the weeds and fallen leaves and other flammable materials on the ground, while Mu Jinnian kept pinching the water diversion formula, trying to divert water to put out the fire, but it was a pity that he couldn't do it after several attempts. Turning around in a hurry.

Seeing that the fire was intensifying, Mo Ran stopped hesitating, pulled Xiaoyang up with one hand, and rushed there using the Instantaneous Body Technique, mobilizing spiritual power to extinguish the fire, and only then did he have the time to ask the cause of the incident.

Mu Jinnian's clothes and face were covered with dust, he lowered his head and said nothing.

It was Bai Yu who came out to smooth things over: "Jin Nian hunted some game today, and invited the junior to cook some barbecue. But the junior is inexperienced, accidentally caught fire in the forest, and alarmed Master Mo."

Moran swept his eyes, and sure enough, he found something that had been burned into black charcoal on the ground: "Using fire in the forest can easily cause fires, and a little carelessness can lead to catastrophe."

Bai Yu quietly tugged on the hem of La Mu Jinnian's clothes, saluted and admitted his mistake: "Your junior, remember Master Mo's teachings."

As for Mu Jinnian, he didn't say anything, but he heard it.

Seeing that they had a long memory, Mo Ran didn't hold on to them: "Let's go, let's hunt some wild game."

Walking outside all year round, although Mo Ran himself doesn't need to eat, the skill of barbecue is not bad, the fragrance, Xiaoyang, whose body is a stone, drools.

Bai Yu looked good and was not slow in eating, but Mu Jinnian said he was full after only two bites.

Then he hid from Mo Ran and didn't talk to him for a whole day, until now, he was pulling Bai Yu to know what he was doing.

Before Mo Ran finished speaking, Zhang Yi exclaimed, "My grove was burned?!"

"It's not a serious problem, the maze is not affected." Mo Ran calmed his heart, "They didn't burn the eyes of the formation, so don't worry."

"That's fine, that's fine."

"You haven't replied to me yet, what do you think is wrong with them?"

"What's wrong with your Mu boy? Our Ayu must have been led to ruin." Zhang Yi hummed a few words, saw Mo Ran look over, quickly put on a serious expression, and thought carefully, "You say, Mu The boy's anomaly started the day before yesterday?"

Mo Ran nodded.

"The day before yesterday... Isn't that after Ah Yu became a teacher. Could it be that he wants to become a teacher because he is greedy?"

"Impossible." Mo Ran flatly vetoed, "I have already talked to him about this."

Zhang Yi became interested: "Oh? What did you say to him?" Have you talked?when?Why doesn't he know?

"I told him that what I promised, I will not go back on my word."

It's really... simple and rude enough, it's the style of a friend.

Zhang Yi shook his head: "You don't understand. From my point of view, he is probably worried that you will change your mind."

"How?" Mo Ran was puzzled.Obviously, he has made his words so clear, why is Mu Jinnian still worried?

"That's why you don't understand." Zhang Yi was quite enthusiastic about being able to win in front of Mo Ran, "Your strength is far superior to his, and you don't need him to do things for you, nor give him the title of master and apprentice. You He is not close to him, so he will naturally worry about when you change your mind. I have already said that you have done so much for him, but you don't tell him anything. This is not good. You see, something is wrong .”

"Is that so..." Mo Ran was thoughtful.

Zhang Yi is very sure: "Of course. If Boy Mu knows that you have invested so much money in him, and you still count on him to break through the realm, why would you worry about these trivial matters?"

"Thank you." Know the root of the problem and prescribe the right medicine.

Mo Ran said goodbye to Zhang Yi and went to find Mu Jinnian.

Mu Jinnian knew nothing about these things, and was pulling Bai Yu in distress, asking him to help him out: "Ah Yu, I... what should I do next?"

He changed his name to "Master Mo", but Mo Ran refused and wanted to cook a meal by himself, which almost burned the forest.

Unfavorable for the teacher, Mu Jinnian felt guilty and short of breath, so he only dared to hide from Mo Ran and didn't even dare to say much.

Bai Yu spread her hands: "In my opinion, since Uncle Mo didn't dislike you before, he certainly won't in the future. You are still the same as before, doing what you should do."

"But I don't think you and Senior Yi are like this."

"Jinnian, each individual has his own fate, and we cannot generalize."

Before they discussed the reason, they suddenly received a voice transmission from Mo Ran: "Jin Nian, come see me."

Moran rarely gave such a direct order.

Mu Jinnian and Bai Yu looked at each other.

This......

Bai Yu made a gesture of "seeking good fortune".

Mu Jinnian glared at him, took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and Mo Ran was standing outside: "Mo... are you looking for me?"

"Well, walk with me." After finishing speaking, Mo Ran turned and left.

There was no one else in the woods except the two of them.

Just as Mu Jinnian was wondering if Mo Ran wanted to settle accounts after Qiuhou, Mo Ran asked him: "I haven't seen you come to look for me these few days, but what troubles have you encountered?"

"No." Mu Jinnian replied dryly.

When was it so quiet in the woods?It was so quiet that he could hear his heart beating faster and faster.

"You used to call me by my name, why did you suddenly change it to 'Lord Mo'?"

In desperation, Mu Jinnian thought of an excuse: "Didn't I see Ayu call Senior Yi 'Master'? You are of the same generation as him, and I am of the same generation as Ayu. If I call you 'Moran' again, this generation will be messed up." Well."

That sounds reasonable.

"Cultivators don't have so many rules." Mo Ran denied.

Mu Jinnian's palms were covered with sweat, his eyes flicked left and right, but he refused to look at Mo Ran: "...this...that..."

Seeing that he couldn't be fooled, he sank his heart and yelled: "Just say it. Ah Yu said that you should respect your teacher and elders. You are older than me and stronger than me. I want to respect you, can't I?"

Saying what was in his heart, Mu Jinnian lost face a bit, and added in a low voice: "If you hadn't said that you would help me practice, I wouldn't..."

Sure enough, Zhang Yi hit the mark.

Mo Ran sighed helplessly: "Respect is in the heart but not in the mouth. You and I are different from Zhang Yi and Baiyu's master and apprentice. You don't have to learn from them in everything."

Mu Jinnian's eyes lit up, seeing Mo Ran staring at him seriously, he quickly lowered his head and hid the smile on his lips.

"If you are worried that I will go back on my word, I have a method here. I don't know if you want to learn it."

Mu Jinnian shook his head and nodded again: "Don't worry, don't worry, you have to learn and learn."

"'Concentric Knot', you know?"

Mu Jinnian said honestly, "Have you heard of it?"

Mo Ran said: "Take the heart and soul of the two people, and draw them with a specific spell, so that the two people's spiritual consciousness can be connected, and they can perceive each other no matter how far away."

The technique of "Concentric Knot" is not complicated.

Mu Jinnian is talented and intelligent, coupled with his hard work in learning, he will be perfect in a short time.

He forced a drop of blood from his heart, imitating Mo Ran's appearance to activate the formula, turning the blood drop into a few shining golden symbols, and injecting it into Mo Ran's body.

Mo Ran didn't resist, and let the power of the "concentric knot" blow over his whole body, and finally formed a dark rhombus between his eyebrows.At the same time, in his Shi Hai, a thin thread of invisible and insubstantial spiritual consciousness stretched out, entangled with another strange spiritual consciousness.

Mu Jinnian also sensed the gentle and powerful will connected with his own spiritual consciousness, and couldn't help howling loudly in his heart, oh, oh, look, Ah Yu, I have a sympathy knot, hahaha.

On the face, he touched the mark on his forehead reservedly, and said: "Mo Ran, if there is nothing else, I will go to Bai Yu to discuss it first."

Mo Ran ignored the juvenile's joy from the other side of his consciousness, and responded, "Well, let's go."

............

Zhang Yi was in a state of exasperation: "So you formed a sympathy knot with Boy Mu?"

Mo Ran nodded.

"Do you know what a concentric knot is?!" I knew that Mo Ran would be more unreliable than himself when he was crazy, but Zhang Yi never thought that he would be so unreliable. With the contract, how can you form a bond with Mu boy??"

"You said that Jinnian was worried that I would change my mind. I just wanted to dispel his worries. Why not do it immediately?"

"That can't be a concentric knot! Once formed, if you want to break the knot, it will hurt one party's spiritual consciousness, spiritual consciousness! There are still pills available for damaged meridians, and spiritual consciousness is damaged. You can only resist it by yourself. The pain in it will first Not to mention, it is extremely difficult to repair! How many nine-day Taoist couples are there? How many have used concentric knots? Why is this happening? Don’t tell me you don’t know! When it really hurts, don’t come looking for it with tears in your eyes I!"

Looking at Mo Ran's indifferent appearance, Zhang Yi felt that he fed the dog with all his heart, "Forget it, do what you like, and if I worry about you again, I will... I will write the last name upside down! snort!"

After all, he left with a flick of his sleeves.
