In the afternoon, Ning Weiyue came to Qingyang Peak as a guest. On the surface, she said she was visiting, but actually she wanted to see Ling Yan.

She didn't deliberately ask embarrassing questions such as whether her health was better, but Ling Yan could clearly see from her eyes that she cared for him.He didn't show any alienation, he still greeted her and talked to her as usual.

Ning Weiyue left after not sitting for long.

There were very few people who knew about the incident on New Year's Eve, and it did not cause panic among the disciples. The first month in the mountains was still as lively as usual, Ren Xuechuan never visited the house, and few people came to disturb his cleanliness.Ling Yan pestered the other party to teach him how to practice the sword, and Ren Xuechuan didn't tire of it, and taught him earnestly as always.

At dusk, Ling Yan took a pot of wine and walked back to the mountain. Ren Xuechuan happened to see it, and said casually: "I haven't banned drinking, so there's no need to hide."

"Ah," Ling Yan turned around and said to him, "I don't want to drink secretly, but I want to go to the back mountain to see the two masters."

Ren Xuechuan was slightly taken aback, then stepped forward to go to the back mountain with him.

The grave was covered with snow, and the master and apprentice toasted the elders together.Ren Xuechuan seemed to have suddenly remembered that he had not brought his apprentice to visit Master and Mistress in person, so he said to them: "Master, Mistress, this is my apprentice."

Ling Yan couldn't help raising his head and chest, looking happy and proud. With a sunny smile, he said with a smile: "Please rest assured, the two masters, I will take good care of the master."

Ren Xuechuan didn't want to reprimand his apprentice in front of the elders, so he didn't say anything, but he felt somewhat disdainful in his heart.I just feel that children nowadays like to pretend to be adults and say some old-fashioned words, which is not surprising.

Ling Yan babbled, but actually talked a lot in front of the grave, interesting things about the academy, his own knowledge, the scenery in the mountains... He talked to himself, and described the things vividly. Ren Xuechuan listened intentionally or unintentionally. Consciously attracted, infected.

He looked at Ling Yan and couldn't help thinking, if the master and his wife were here, they would definitely like him very much.

This kid is always bluffing, with a smile on his face all day long, like a little sun... He is really likable.

When the word "like" appeared in his heart, Ren Xuechuan suddenly seemed to be stabbed by something, and his heart hurt instantly.He couldn't help but let out a muffled sound, his blood surged in an instant, and he was on the verge of falling.

"Master!" Ling Yan heard the voice and immediately turned around. Seeing Master clutching his chest, he quickly stepped forward to support him, "What's wrong with you?"

Ren Xuechuan grabbed his hand and forcefully supported it.

"Master!" Ling Yan was worried, and hurriedly ran to the front yard with him on his back.After putting the person on the couch, he said anxiously: "I'll ask Master Weiyue to come and show you."

"Don't," Ren Xuechuan pulled him back and said with difficulty, "Don't bother her... I'll take it easy..."

"What's the matter?" Ling Yan saw that Master's face was pale, it seemed that he was in severe pain, and he didn't know what to do.

Bai Shu and Shang Lu hurried into the room when they heard the movement.

Ling Yan hurriedly asked: "What's the matter, Master? Is there an old problem? What is it?"

Those two people were at a loss and shook their heads in a panic, neither knowing what was going on.

Ling Yan couldn't help getting angry: "You guys have been with him for so long, why don't you know anything?!"

"Ling Yan," Ren Xuechuan gritted his teeth and reprimanded, "Apologize."

Ling Yan knew that he shouldn't be angry with the two of them, so he had to apologize to them, but he still complained in his heart.He no longer cared about Master's request, and went directly to find Ning Weiyue.

However, Ning Weiyue couldn't diagnose what was wrong, so she asked Ren Xuechuan about the illness, but Ren Xuechuan just shook his head, saying that he was fine.

"You have to tell me, Xue Chuan," Ning Weiyue said anxiously, "If you don't tell me, I can't solve the problem."

Ren Xuechuan shook his head, unwilling to speak.

Ning Weiyue had no choice but to use analgesic method to make him fall into a deep sleep first, and get through the severe pain in his sleep.She asked Ling Yan to accompany his master, while she went back to read medical books.

Ling Yan dismissed Bai Shu and Phytophagophyta, and asked them to rest, and he stayed in the master's room to take care of him.

He touched Ren Xuechuan's hands and face, and found that it was much colder than usual, so he took off his boots, got into his bed without authorization, hugged him, and tried to warm him.

Ren Xuechuan did not sleep soundly.

In these years, whenever he has the slightest affection for someone or something in this world, he will be attacked by the same nightmare. In that dark dream, he holds a sharp knife in his hand, overlooks the world, despises all living beings, and there are countless things in his mind. The voice cries: "Destroy...destroy..."

Ren Xuechuan could hear those voices since he was a child, sometimes during the day, sometimes at night, sometimes in no one's place, sometimes in the noise.

Those voices induced him, let him kill, let him destroy.

He couldn't tell whose voices it was, but he often felt very familiar, as if they were all people close to him, but they didn't match his face.

In the dream, he saw all the pain in the world, other people's, or his own. He saw his family members being murdered, and he saw himself being tortured to death, and his body was abandoned in the wilderness.He saw that he had experienced all the tragedies in the world, but he clearly knew that he had no family, he was raised by his master and his wife, and they gave him all the love—although he didn’t understand what love was, But he knows that's how it should be.So he didn't know when the tragedies in the dream happened.

previous life?last life?Or is it just a demon?

Will there be demons in the ruthless way?

ridiculous.

All malice rushed to him, invaded his mind, eroded his heart, and it was gradually difficult for him to suppress that malice in his dream.

He felt his consciousness being controlled.

He wanted to draw his sword, to destroy the world.

However, when he opened his eyes and was about to get up, he suddenly found himself trapped.

The little apprentice hugged him tightly, fell asleep in his arms, and frowned slightly, as if he was worrying about something.

In his sleep, the fire pattern on Ling Yan's forehead was inconspicuously flashing, flickering, flickering.

While the fire pattern was flickering, a warm force flowed into Ren Xuechuan's heart, slowly but firmly expelling the hostility and malice in his body.

This process is extremely painful.

Ren Xuechuan gritted his teeth and insisted, without saying a word.He subconsciously hugged the boy in his arms back, and subconsciously exerted a little force.

Ling Yan felt Master's trembling, and immediately woke up.

He opened his eyes and saw that the other party was sweating profusely, and quickly wiped it off for him.Seeing Master's body trembling, he thought he was cold, so he put his hand on his heart to warm him.

Ren Xuechuan's eyes were tightly closed, and after a long time, the hostility in his heart was finally burned away by his apprentice's flame.Exhausted, he passed out again.

This time he didn't dream again.

After Ren Xuechuan woke up, his vitality seemed to be severely injured, he was sickly, he lay on the couch for a few days, staring out the window all day in a daze, rarely making a sound.

The head and several peak masters have come to visit, but they can't tell what's wrong.

On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, the academy started, and the disciples returned one after another. Ning Weiyue took care of Xu Liuyun's affairs and assigned other people to handle the academy's affairs.

At that time, Ren Xuechuan had almost recovered, Ling Yan went down the mountain to report to the college, and greeted Cen Zhengqing and Zhan Yuan by the way.

After a year, the two of them became more mellow.The two of them were very happy to see Ling Yan, and they gave him special products from their hometown respectively, and asked him to continue to sleep in their dormitory.

Ling Yan refused.

Master is back, he must return to Qingyang Peak to live.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the college prepared rich food for the disciples to celebrate the Lantern Festival together.Cen Zhengqing and Zhan originally wanted to go to Qingyang Peak to greet Ren Xuechuan, but Ling Yan declined.He felt that his master had become colder than before since he fell ill once, and it might not be suitable for receiving guests.He was afraid that the two friends would be neglected, and he was also afraid that the master would be disturbed.

The two little friends expressed their understanding, so they asked him to help carry blessings.

In the evening, Ling Yan and Shanglu made glutinous rice balls with different fillings, and after they were done, they brought a bowl to the master.

Ren Xuechuan seemed to have no appetite at all, so he directly refused.Although Ling Yan was a little disappointed, she didn't want to force her.

He was about to go out with hot glutinous rice balls, but Ren Xuechuan stopped him again.

"Let me eat something."

Ling Yan hurried back to the couch and handed him the bowl: "Be careful it's hot."

Ren Xuechuan was naturally not too afraid of being hot, so he ate a few with a blank expression, and commented: "It's delicious."

Ling Yan was full of joy and advised the other party to eat more.

Ren Xuechuan didn't refuse any more, and ate everything in the bowl, but he vomited not long after eating.Ling Yan blamed herself very much, wondering if Master hadn't eaten for a long time and couldn't get used to it for a while?He brought water to the other party and let him have a good rest.But Ren Xuechuan asked if there were any glutinous rice balls, implying that he wanted to have another bowl.

"It's better not to eat it yet," Ling Yan said, "Master, you don't have to feel that you have let down the disciple's wishes, I'm not sad! I'm just a little worried about you..."

He sat on the edge of the bed, held the other's cold hand, and rubbed it for him.

Ren Xuechuan's eyes were like a pool of stagnant water.

Ling Yan couldn't see him like this, and looked very uncomfortable.Observing his expression, he felt that this illness seemed to have taken away something, the light in his eyes and his vitality.

What power?And who did it?

And Ren Xuechuan was obviously trying to fight against that force, and he reluctantly accepted his apprentice's wishes even though he didn't want to eat.

After that, this person began to become capricious, sometimes cold, sometimes trying to get close to the apprentice, and often pushing him away uncontrollably after getting close.

Ling Yan seriously suspected that Master had been bewitched by someone, and he was struggling with pain.He went to see Grand Master.Gong Yuexi asked about the events of that day in detail, and then said slowly: "He may...may have been moved by your act of worshiping his master and wife. Maybe there were some emotional ups and downs at that time, and he had a good impression of you, so he just will get sick."

"Why do you get sick when you have a good impression of me?" Ling Yan was puzzled, "Am I poisonous?"

Gong Yuexi sighed: "He will do this every once in a while, as if someone has emptied his emotions and emotions... Not only that..."

He looked around and lowered his voice: "Not only is he empty, but every time he wakes up from illness, he will have a very serious tendency to be world-weary... You have to watch him carefully, the lives of our sect depend on you .”

Ling Yan was very shocked, is the matter so serious?Does it mean that my master wants to destroy the world?

It's simply confusing, he can't understand the plot anymore.When he asked again, Gong Yuexi couldn't tell.

Gong Yuexi still wants to rely on him to solve this mystery.

When Ling Yan came back from Jiuxianju that day, it was already very late.He pushed open the courtyard door, and saw his master standing in the bamboo forest with a sword in his hand, his whole body was about to explode with hostility.

Ling Yan was scared to death immediately, oh my god, is Master really going to kill him? !

"Master!" He hurried over, pretending to be calm, and chatted with him in his usual relaxed tone, "It's so late, why didn't you rest?"

Ren Xuechuan turned his head and stared at him with extremely cold eyes.

Ling Yan's scalp was numb from the sight, and he suspected that he would be stabbed to death in the next moment.

"Tonight..." He trembled, "The moonlight tonight...is so beautiful..."

After he finished speaking, he realized that there is no moon at all today.

After a while, Ren Xuechuan subdued his chills and nodded slightly: "Mm, it's beautiful."

Then turned around and entered the room.
