Changfeng crosses Baishi

Xiao Baishi knew nothing about these things. After leaving Lanzhu Jiaqi, he first sent the red leopard to the foot of the mountain, and coaxed it to return to the trace in the cloud by itself. to the destination.

At night, except for a few diligent and self-motivated colleagues who are still practicing hard, the rest have all returned to their residences.

The seven-story Sutra Pagoda next to the practice field is called "Fearless Floating Clouds", but not many people in Cuiwei Mountain really call it that, and it still only refers to it as the simple Sutra Pagoda.When Xiao Baishi was young, he used to lock himself inside to read without knowing what to eat and drink. The ghost illustrated book and the history of various sects of Taoism had something to attract him. through the hole.

But it's been a long time, Xiao Baishi can't remember every word he has read, and if he wants to find out whether the red leopard has been alive in recent years, he has to start from scratch.

Fearing that the Fuyun Pagoda was not locked, Xiao Baishi felt something was wrong as soon as he stepped in.Standing still for a moment, he quietly hid his aura, and simply skipped the stairs and went up from the side. A half broken candle was lit by the window on the third floor, and the spell turned into a wick. Swaying softly in the wind.

No one is there?

But there were still footsteps just now.

Xiao Baishi was puzzled, and moved a little closer.A small table was illuminated by candles, the inkstone was still wet, a few blank letterheads were spread out, and the pen was tilted to the side.

Who else is in the tower besides him?

But seeing this scene, maybe some fellow disciple is reading at night by candlelight.

Thinking of this, Xiao Baishi couldn't help but relax his vigilance, the technique used to cover up his breath instantly failed, and his whole body appeared.Just two steps away, a hand patted his shoulder from behind without warning, Xiao Baishi almost jumped three feet on the spot, turned around and met an unexpected person.

"Eldest brother?" He tied his tongue and said in disbelief, "Why are you here so late at night?"

Xie Yulin waved him away, pointed his fingers, and the four treasures of the study cleaned up neatly by themselves.With an envelope in his pocket, he swept Xiao Baishi up and down speechlessly: "Aren't you here too?"

Xiao Baishi was reversed by the general, and he was so embarrassed that he clutched his cuffs and circled them around for a few weeks. His fingers turned white, and his eyes were moving around, right on the opening of Xie Yulin's unsealed letter. .He blinked, and greeted him courteously with nothing to do: "Brother, your envelope is still open, do you want me to seal it for you?"

"No need." Xie Yulin took a step back and politely refused, "It's you, what are you doing here if you don't go back to sleep?"

"I... I'm here to check something." Xiao Baishi couldn't help but gain confidence when he thought that he came here on a serious matter, and his voice raised a little, "Recently, a strange spirit beast suddenly appeared in Yunzhongji, which I have never seen before. Thinking that there might be ancient records in the Sutra Pagoda to record the origin of the spirit beast, so I can't wait to go there."

Xie Yulin was skeptical, and after a long silence, let him go: "Oh, then go and check, the illustrated book about animals and birds should be on the fifth floor."

Xiao Baishi thanked him, but did not leave immediately.

He leaned on the bookshelf in his spare time, still staring at Xie Yulin, with a bright smile: "I told the reason for my visit. Senior brother reads by candle at night, isn't that too rare?"

One sentence made Xie Yulin froze in place.

It is well known to the disciples in Cuiwei Mountain that although Xie Yulin is very talented, he is still a swordsman with a bright future.But the senior brother loves martial arts the most in his life, and secondly he loves to help Xiao Heyan take care of his parents' family problems. After the end of his hobbies, he reluctantly added "studying".

Since he entered the mountain gate, the number of times he came here to read books and copy scriptures is really very few.How can such a person who treats thousands of books like dung be alone at night without fear of Fuyun Pagoda?

Also moved the pen and ink.

When something goes wrong, there must be a demon. Xiao Baishi didn't believe that his elder brother suddenly started to devote himself to learning.

After meeting Xiao Baishi's curious gaze for a long time, Xie Yulin's throat twitched, and he looked away and said, "I... write a letter and send it to the people down the mountain."

"Huh?" Xiao Baishi asked in surprise, "Who can startle you?"

"The man asked me to find a prescription for her to treat her father's illness. This prescription can't be prescribed by ordinary doctors, so I came to try my luck in the Sutra Pagoda...Junior brother, don't ask."

When he said this, his cheeks were a little red, Xiao Baishi saw Xie Yulin at this moment, like a mirror reflecting himself in front of Ying Changfeng, and he could understand why Xie Yulin came at night after only a little guessing.

There must be a sweetheart, maybe the other person is not a cultivator so he doesn't want to be known by others, otherwise, he wouldn't be so concealed by copying a prescription.If he was seen by others during the day, the senior brother's majesty would be swept away immediately, and he would be questioned again, then with his inability to lie, he would definitely not be able to hide it.

"Oh, I understand!" Xiao Baishi put his arms around Xie Yulin's shoulders self-righteously, patted his chest affectionately, and whispered, "Senior brother, what school or sect are you from, are you beautiful?"

Xie Yulin murmured, "Isn't it beautiful?", hurriedly pushed Xiao Baishi away, her ears turned red.

Xiao Baishi was not annoyed, he laughed twice, showing an expression of "I understand", stopped pestering him, and quietly climbed up the stairs to find what he wanted.

After his voice disappeared, Xie Yulin raised his hand to touch his hot ears, and all the embarrassment faded away.

He walked to the small window, raised his hands to extinguish the candlelight, and pinched his hands again. Not long after, a gray carrier pigeon flew from the woods outside, and Xie Yulin turned the letter into a bamboo leaf and pasted it on it. paws.

"Go!"

The gray bird flapped its wings and disappeared into the vast night.

Even though it can't compare to the Sutra Cave, which contains thousands and thousands of books, the sea of ​​books is vast, and the Fearless Cloud Pagoda also has countless books.The shelves range from bamboo slips, silk to paper books, and there are all kinds of them.

Xiao Baishi got Xie Yulin's guidance, but it was a bit difficult for him to accurately find the content he wanted from a whole layer of books.Sighing, Xiao Baishi rolled up a part of his sleeves, thinking that he probably won't be able to go back to Yunzhongji to sleep tonight——if he wants to do something, he should go all out and do it to the end.

After roughly scanning the two rows of bookshelves, when facing the window, the thick mist rose again, and a cold and moist breath permeated every hole like a thread.The lights on the towers and towers in the distance are quietly dotted like fluorescent lights, the sky and the earth are big, and people are extremely lonely.

Xiao Baishi was frozen suddenly, thinking for no reason: I don't know what Ying Changfeng is doing now?

He might have fallen asleep, he sniffed, but there was no other person around, so Xie Yulin might not be there anymore.After reading this, he turned his head and read the rest of the book without distraction.

Xiao Baishi was a little sleepy when the lonely person settled down.He yawned, and suddenly a linnet flew in from the window, crashed into Xiao Baishi's arms in a hurry, raised its wings and gestured blindly.

After seeing its meaning, Xiao Baishi's original fatigue was swept away, and Xiao Baishi opened his eyes in disbelief: "What?! You said, that father is back?"

The cardinal jumped anxiously in place again, as if it had burned its ass.

Following its movements and the occasional chirps, Xiao Baishi's complexion became darker and darker, before he finished listening, he had leaned against the window and went straight out of the sutra tower.He borrowed a little strength from the outer wall, jumped up a few times and headed straight for Lanzhu Jiaqi.

Cardinal went to investigate Ying Changfeng's movements secretly, and did not expect to see the scene of Xiao Heyan's pressing question at all.

It has more aura than other birds and beasts around Xiao Baishi, and it is the closest to Xiao Baishi on weekdays.Having been close for a long time, it is inevitable that there will be some desire for monopoly, plus I have a lot of prejudice against this "great lady" who is locked at the gate on the top of the mountain and does not leave the house. He thinks that he makes Xiao Baishi lose his mind, so he simply hides the other party and acts as his own. He opened his eyes and ears.

Followed Xiao Baishi into the Lanzhu Festival secretly, and when she dressed herself as an ordinary bird, the cardinal thought: If this "little mother" does something that is not good for Xiao Baishi, she should report it earlier.

Unexpectedly, Ying Changfeng followed the rules all day long, and there was nothing wrong with him, and he was beaten to death by Xiao Heyan first!

If Xiao Heyan was really furious, it would be enough to change the color of the world. Right now, he is still restrained, but the coercion in his body also makes the low-level spirit beasts within a hundred miles tremble.

Cardinal had never seen such a bloody scene before, and was stunned at the moment, standing on the flower branch and froze without daring to move.It wasn't until Xiao Heyan's body and mind fell on Ying Changfeng's place that it saw the right time, and hurried back to Yunzhongji to find Xiao Baishi—as for why it was Xiao Baishi, the cardinal's brain was too small to support it to think about such a complicated matter. question.

All I knew was to find Xiao Baishi, and I never thought about what he could do.

But seeing Xiao Baishi running out in a panic all of a sudden, without going up the stairs, Cardinal was also a little scared, wondering if he did the right thing: Xiao Heyan taught his own people, but let his son intervene?No matter how you look at it, it will hurt Xiao Baishi.

He was no longer visible in front of him, the cardinal fluttered its wings, hesitated for a while, then gritted its teeth and followed.

A night full of stars, with a white moon and clear wind.

Xiao Baishi had no time to appreciate these things. After he heard that Ying Changfeng had been hurt by his father, his heart almost jumped out of his throat. His whole body floated up for a short time, his hands and feet were so weak that he couldn't use his strength.When he regained his senses, he had already landed outside the Sutra Pagoda, heading towards Lanzhu Jiaqi, and almost fell down when he staggered.

How is he, is he still seriously injured?

Why did father come back suddenly?

Doesn't father like Ying Changfeng very much, why would he do anything to him, could it be...

Xiao Baishi didn't dare to think any more, and suddenly stopped his steps.

The grass color of the mountain path becomes darker at night, and the light green of the fireflies looks a little strange.The moonlight cast his thin shadow, Xiao Baishi looked down, but saw another person not far behind.

Xiao Baishi had already felt something, and when he turned his head, the circles of his eyes turned red all of a sudden.

He couldn't say why his nose was sore, but since that time when facing Chang Feng, he seemed to cry more easily.Since childhood, Xiao Baishi has never cried. His tears have been stored for a hundred years, and now he has found an outlet for his emotions after they poured out, and he can no longer be easily contained.

Not far away, the face of the man in the black long gown was as usual. When he looked carefully, he found that it was covered with a layer of frost.It was the first time he saw Xiao Heyan in the dark, as a cultivator did not show his old age, Xiao Heyan would naturally always be in full bloom.

It's just that the handsomeness has changed at this moment, Xiao Baishi frowned, suddenly resented for no reason.

Xiao Heyan rolled up his sleeves and waved at him feebly: "Come here, don't stand there stupidly."

"Father..." Xiao Baishi murmured.

Xiao Heyan was not surprised by his reaction, and repeated as if sighing: "Come here, Baishi."
