Jiuxiao

Opening his eyes again, the familiar scenery came into view.

Longyingtan.

Back to square one.

He and Yu Nuo entered the cave from the bottom of the pool, so they went to 6 years ago and witnessed that magnificent and thrilling era with their own eyes.

Zhou Yin circulated his spiritual power, checked his own condition, and found that not only healed from the previous injury, but also unknowingly advanced to the middle stage of foundation establishment.

Originally, he had reached the consummation in the early stage of foundation establishment, and he only needed to retreat to successfully break through the barrier, but he didn't expect that because of that experience, his mental state and cultivation had been honed, and he would naturally advance to the next level.

When he wakes up, it feels like a lifetime away. Only the pen in the Sumeru Precepts can prove that he has indeed met those people and things.

Holding the Tianxiu pen in his hand, Zhou Yin found that the body of the pen was engraved with fine prints, but it was too small to recognize clearly.

Feilan's words still ring in my ears. Although the Tianxi Pen is precious, it is not a magic weapon that can call wind and rain. On the contrary, its ability is determined according to the user's cultivation base. That is to say, how high Zhou Yin's cultivation base is, this Only one magic weapon can play a big role. If a monk in the Qi refining period owns it now, it can only let it exert the power equivalent to the Qi refining period.

Of course, if Zhou Yin can successfully break through the core formation or even the Nascent Soul, the usefulness of this magic weapon will become greater and greater, but in the end it can only be subordinate to human power, not above human.

This is good.

Zhou Yin was not disappointed, he would never pin his life on something external, the most reliable person in this world was himself.

At that time, Feilan hoped that Zhou Yin could finally find the Yaozu people and return this token. Zhou Yin was not interested in taking other people's things as his own, but there is still a difference between 6 years ago and 6 years later. Today's Most of the demon cultivators hid and disappeared, and it was not easy to find one.

And the only one...

He bowed his head.

Zhou Chen looked back innocently.

"Mother... I want to kiss, kiss..." She rubbed on flatteringly and obsequiously, and finally she could speak more than one vocabulary.

"Your education should be on the agenda." Zhou Yin said expressionlessly.

Zhou Chen stared blankly at him, a bolt from the blue.

Why, why...

Why can I start from looking at that pen and thinking of its educational issues?

Obviously nothing to do...

Blame that nasty pen! ! !

When he returned to Ji's mansion, Ji Rong's family was overjoyed to see him.

Only then did Zhou Yin know that it had been more than three years since he left and entered the water with Yu Nuo last time.

Ji Rong has been worrying about him all the time, and seeing someone now, his heart is relieved.

After three years of not seeing each other, Ji Zhenlian's appearance became more and more graceful, and she had reached the age of discussing marriage. Her parents chose a wealthy family in this county for her. The man's character was said to be good, and it was logically a good match, but the relationship between her eyebrows There is always a lingering faint resentment, and she looks unhappy, but when her mother Cao asks, she refuses to say anything, so she can only think of her as a daughter who is not humane before she gets married.

Because with Zhou Chen, Zhou Yin didn't want to go back to the sect so soon, at least he had to wait for Zhou Chen to learn some spells and have the ability to protect himself.

If it was placed in the previous life, Zhou Chen could be safe and sound with his own ability, but the situation is different now. His current cultivation level is really not high, and there are always things that he can't take care of. If Zhou Chen is still as ignorant as he is now You know, sooner or later you have to run into danger.

He proposed to live in Ji's mansion for a while, his uncle Ji Rong was naturally very happy, and he agreed without hesitation.

On the side of the Pingnan Army, Hui Jun also asked the county magistrate to take good care of Ji's family because of Zhou Yin's relationship. There are people in the court who are good at handling things. The opponent who framed him back then was already impoverished and his family was ruined because of poor management.

Because of this reason, Ji Rong's family treated Zhou Yin with a layer of awe in their kindness. The status of a monk is already aloof from ordinary people, so in Ji Rong's eyes, his nephew is also supernatural and able to serve the Ji family. To bring blessings, for this reason, he specially set up a small courtyard in his own mansion for Zhou Yin to live in, and asked the servants not to disturb him to clean up easily.

Zhou Yin has returned to a peaceful and regular life. Apart from practicing every day, he is teaching Zhou Chen.

The most urgent task is to let it learn the most basic invisibility.

This small spell does not require the user to have a deep cultivation, as long as he is chanting or writing amulets, he can achieve the effect of invisibility.

Of course, this invisibility technique is just a low-level illusion technique. For high-level monks, it is no different from hacking and hacking. However, there is no spiritual energy in the Xumijie space in Zhouyin, and it can only store some items, but cannot accommodate living beings. , if you want to bring it to the Mirror Sea Sword Sect, you must learn this little spell, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

Zhou Chen's spiritual intelligence is not yet fully developed, he can't transform into form, and he can't even straighten his tongue, let alone write calligraphy and symbols. Zhou Yin thought about it, and there was only one way.

But at the moment he has not realized that this is a more difficult project.

He dipped a brush in clean water, drew a spell on Zhou Chen's head, and then silently recited the formula to fix the spell.

"Now you only need to meditate on one thing in your heart, such as flowers and trees, and it will naturally transform into what you want."

Zhou Chen looked at him with wet eyes, a little confused.

Zhou Yin said: "It's not limited to vegetation, it's just a thing you like in your heart."

Favorite……

Zhou Chen tilted his head, thinking seriously.

The head has gradually changed, the eyes, nose, and mouth can vaguely recognize the human figure, and if you look closely, you can still see that it is a miniature version of Zhou Yin, but the bottom is still covered with fluff, which is completely nondescript.

Zhou Yin's forehead twitched.

"Easier."

Zhou Chen thought hard, his little eyebrows almost wrinkled up to his eyelids, and it turned into something else.

A snow-white plum cake.

It is exactly the same as the plate Cao brought over just now and it is still on the table.

Zhou Yin sighed silently and silently.

"Okay, let's change back."

Plum Blossom Cake jumped twice.

Two more jumps.

"Mother, change, change~~???!"

It's over, it can't remember what it looks like, and it can't change back!

Zhou Yin: "..."

Time passed day by day, and more than two years passed.

After parting in the cave that day, Yu Nuo never appeared again, and Zhou Yin didn't bother to inquire about it. He and this person just met by chance and didn't have a deep friendship. Besides, everyone has their own encounters. Since Yu Nuo chose his own path, he had to face it by himself.

Hui Jun would send people over to say hello from time to time, and Zhou Yin would occasionally be invited to sit in the Pingnan military camp. Although Hui Jun was a mortal, he had a lot of experience and a bright personality. Most of the time, he is the one who is talking and Zhou Yin is listening.

But the last time he sent someone over, he didn't ask Zhou Yin to reminisce about the past, but brought a letter.

The letter said that the Anyang Kingdom has basically surrendered, and the Pingnan Army was ordered by the emperor to move back to the capital of Dongyue in a few days. Knowing that Zhou Yin does not like customary rituals, he will not say goodbye to him in person, and he does not know where he is going. What year and month can we meet again, I wish him success in practice and cherish himself.

Zhou Yin looked at it, and said to the messenger: "I once gave your master three sound-transmitting charms, and asked him to keep them properly. If there is something urgent, you can summon them through the runes."

The visitor respectfully thanked him: "I would like to express my gratitude on behalf of my master. The master has one more thing to convey to me. The master will continue to help you track down the group of mysterious monks related to Zhoujiacun. Inform immediately."

Zhou Yin replied: "Understood."

With his current ability, even if he knew the origins of those monks, he might not be able to do anything to them, but the future will be long, and this account will be written down for now, and one day it will be settled.

The other party said goodbye and left, Zhou Yin turned back to the house, and ran into Ji Zhenlian who was walking towards him.

"I heard from my father that my cousin is going back to the sect?"

Zhou Yin hummed.

Ji Zhenlian hesitated to speak, and took a long time to summon up the courage: "Cousin, you, can you take me back together, I also want to cultivate immortality!"

"No." Zhou Yin refused without thinking.

"Why?" Ji Zhenlian didn't expect him to refuse immediately.

"Cultivation is not a path you can take."

"Both the first cousin and the second cousin can cultivate immortals, why can't I?" Ji Zhenlian, who was always gentle and weak, was rarely stubborn, and wanted to argue with him. "Could it be that cousin looks down on women?"

Zhou Yin said lightly: "A cultivator needs to have no distractions, be as determined as a rock, and cannot be shaken by any external force. What are you cultivating for?"

Ji Zhen is at a loss for words.

Zhou Yin didn't speak any more, and walked around her.

Ji Zhenlian looked at his back, bit her lower lip, but the courage she had finally mustered just now disappeared all of a sudden, and she didn't dare to call him anymore.

Two years have allowed Zhou Chen to grow up slowly, and gradually understand some human affairs. Although he still has a half-knowledge, monsters are more sensitive to emotions than humans. Seeing that Ji Zhenlian was hit hard by Zhou Yin's words, it does not know why. Feeling happy and proud, they rolled around in Zhou Yin's arms in a ball.

It's so pitiful, but this embrace belongs to him alone, no one is allowed to snatch it!

"What are you doing, go look in the mirror, think you're not fat enough?"

Zhou Yin has always been able to say the most shocking words in the shortest language.

The hairball is gone immediately.

Five years away, the elixir originally brought from the master's gate was almost used up. Zhou Yin calculated the time and knew that it was time to go back, so he chose a day to say goodbye to Ji Rong's family, took Zhou Chen, and returned to the Jinghai Sword Sect.

Five years is just a drop in the ocean for a monk, and most of the people I met along the way were old faces. I think the sect has not accepted new disciples in the past few years, but everyone is in a hurry, with a look of panic on their faces, and even the guard disciples only briefly check It seemed very perfunctory to check his teacher's token.

Huang Wenjun and the others were overjoyed to see Zhou Yin's return, but they couldn't hide their worry.

"You're finally back, something big happened."

Zhou Yin: "??"

Huang Wenjun couldn't hold back: "Master Zou has fallen!"
