past words

Shen Xuan's words came in a weird way, Xue Qing was taken aback for a while, and then smiled: "Aren't you the one who retreated? Why does it seem like I'm in retreat now?"

After all, he himself remembered that after getting the lotus seeds before, he seemed to have settled down for a while, and he didn't know how long it had passed. Hearing what Shen Xuan said at this time, it seemed that the time was not short.

Shen Xuan looked at him again, and sighed with some concern: "What time do you think it is now? You have been in seclusion for a whole year! Could it be that you practiced all the time and never counted your age? I heard that you have gone to retreat, and I want to check on your situation, but it is not as good as your state, so I don't know why you suddenly retreated."

While speaking, he shook his head and said: "However, after all, there are... well, I am saving others by myself. With your spirit here, no one around would dare to offend you. You don't have to worry about the world The spiritual energy in the world is thin, and it takes years to enter meditation, so it doesn't matter where you are. I waited for the bit of spiritual energy you gave me to wear off before I left the seclusion, and it was only about two months."

Xue Qing said with a smile: "Then it's no wonder that the scenery in front of me is still similar to the old days. It's still summer, but a year has passed. I'm too lazy to calculate the time, so I don't know."

Shen Xuan was not like before. To joke with him because of this, he just sighed again and said: "It's good that you leave the customs. I have something to do now, and I have to go back to Xianyang. The matter is urgent and I have to go on the road immediately. Let’s part ways with you. I was worried that I couldn’t say goodbye to you face to face, but fortunately you have also left the customs.”

Hearing what he said, Xue Qing couldn't care less about showing off the new lotus platform, so he asked: "What's the matter? Can't I go with you?"

Immediately he felt strange again, why did Shen Xuan make a special trip to say goodbye?

It must be known that people who cultivate the Tao have a long life, and decades and hundreds of years can be said to pass in a blink of an eye, so it is normal to gather less and leave more.There is no saying goodbye to each other. On the one hand, it is not limited to the form. On the other hand, when friends of the Taoist get together, they mostly talk about the Tao. I don’t know who is talking about it, and I suddenly realize something and go to samadhi. Could it be that those who were left had to wait for an unknown amount of time before the samadhi fellow Taoist broke through and exited before leaving?They all go away on their own.

Especially in the realms of Xue Qing and Shen Xuan, they might be able to retreat for thousands of years.If Shen Xuan was really in a hurry, she would have left without saying goodbye, why would she wait here.

But I don't know if he said this now because he has been contaminated with the habits of the human race over the years, or...to arouse Xue Qing's suspicion on purpose, there is something in his words.

He took a special look at Shen Xuan, but Shen Xuan turned his head, avoided his gaze, and only smiled wryly: "This matter... this is my private matter. As you, it is not easy to meddle in the affairs of the human world. This involves cause and effect, and you can't be entangled in it. And don't you hate the emperor of Xianyang? My current incident is related to the son of the emperor of Xianyang."

Xue Qing frowned upon hearing this, and said, "It's that gentleman again.

Zi Fusu?Ah Xuan, haven't you settled with him yet?It's good that you got his beads earlier, but didn't you get them in exchange for doing things for him? "

Shen Xuan sighed: "He doesn't know that the bead is a treasure, but I know it well. If I do the calculation, I owe him a debt, and this is the cause and effect. I must end this cause and effect to make things happen, otherwise I will practice in the future." hinder."

As soon as these words came out, even if Shen Xuan didn't feel that he owed Mr. Fu Su at first, the cause and effect had already been forged.Xue Qing saw that his face changed a little as soon as his words fell, and he also knew that Tiandao had already agreed to Shen Xuan's words. It would be useless for others to say more about this matter, so he didn't repeat himself, just said: "Since that's the case, I also Just follow your party. I don’t want to get involved with the emperor’s family, I just take care of you. At that time, the sky was thundering and the earth was shaking, and it was Emperor Gouchen, so I’m afraid everyone in Xianyang still remembers you.”

Shen Xuan was taken aback for a moment, then frowned again, with a bit of misery in his expression, and a bit of resentment in his eyes, he only turned his eyes to the side, and said in a low voice: "How can I delay you...you Intensive training. I'll go on my own..."

Xue Qing looked at his expression, secretly understood, and saw that the white fox who was inseparable with Shen Xuan was not in sight at this time, so he waved his hands and said with a smile: "What delay are you talking about? You and I should be so polite, it's really us two We've known each other for nothing. You're not Shen Xuan, and I'm not Xue Qing anymore."

Seeing that Shen Xuan was still hesitant, Xue Qing smiled again: "It's not that you don't know, I have always liked you very much, and it's rare to meet you now, so it's good to stay with you for a while. After a while, I'm afraid I will go back Continue to practice after 33 days. In fact, my current cultivation base has also been compromised, and I have to retreat for a few more days. When you want me to accompany you to do anything, it will not be possible."

Shen Xuan looked dazed, and smiled wryly for a while, "Oh, you really make me feel ashamed when you say that... I originally..."

As he spoke, he raised his head and gestured to the side with the corners of his eyes.

Xue Qing glanced at him and said, "What shame is there? Let's go, you also pack some things that are useful on the road. Why don't you see the white pear and the black crow? And that cat and your fox nephew? They shouldn't be Where did you go to play?"

Shen Xuan bit her lower lip, hesitated to speak, and sighed after a while: "They... have only a short period of practice and a low level of cultivation, but they can just get together and discuss some methods of cultivation. ...with the poplar spirit you brought."

After that, he didn't say any more, then turned around and went back to the house.Xue Qing looked at his back and frowned.

Shen Xuan's words and deeds today are really weird.From the first time she met him, Xue Qing knew that Shen Xuan was not the kind of person who would be low-key and self-deprecating.He is born with four spirits, naturally extraordinary, with a kind of pride, arrogant.

Ever since the two met, Shen Xuan never pretended to be polite, even when he said some concessions, most of them were teasing.This is the reason why Shangqing can get along with him inextricably, because he likes his arrogant temperament.Xue Qing also appreciates his temperament, which naturally has a more chic feeling than others.

It's just that today, his words and deeds, but he looked so forbearing, he hesitated to speak a few times, hesitating, he was totally different from the original him.

If it is because of these years of suffering, but when they reunited before, Shen Xuan was not what she is now, and she still laughed freely.There must be some reason during the two years of meditation that made Shen Xuan behave like today.

Xue Qing frowned and thought carefully. Based on Shen Xuan's expression and the hints from the corners of his eyes and brows, it was probably...

Could it be that someone could have captured that fox and used it as a coercion?

But who could that person be?He was able to threaten Shen Xuan, but he didn't disturb the secluded self at all because of his actions...

Just as he was thinking about it, when his heart moved, he felt that someone had entered Shen Xuan's courtyard gate from the outside.

Xue Qing looked back, but it was the man transformed from the poplar tree who came from outside with a child in his arms.

Squinting his eyes and looking closely, he felt that the person transformed by the poplar tree had improved in cultivation.When we first met before, such a tree spirit was just an early-stage Earth Immortal cultivator who had just transformed into a form. After only one year of seeing him, he has already stabilized his realm. It's really... rare.

If it is said that he was able to transform in less than a few years of practice, it was due to good luck that he happened to be born on the spiritual veins, or he has good aptitude, and Xue Qing's spiritual energy is the foundation for proving the way.So now, why did he enter the country so quickly?

Looking at the child again, Xue Qing smiled and felt a little relaxed.

It turned out that it was Shen Bixuan.At least now it can be seen that Shen Bixuan is still here and has not been taken away.And he has gone through the catastrophe and turned into a human.It looks like a child, but it is cute to look at.

The fox spirit in his body was mixed with the supernatural immortal energy that Xue Qing gave him, and he seemed to be Xue Qing's disciple. Xue Qing looked at it and couldn't help but feel that he liked it very much.

I just remembered that when Shen Xuan mentioned the poplar tree spirit just now, he had a slightly vague meaning and seemed to be a little resentful. This was only heard by Xue Qing who had known him for many years.Could it be that the poplar tree spirit is behind the scenes?

But this poplar tree spirit is talented in immortal cultivation, and Shen Xuan is a quasi-sage, how could he suffer in the hands of this tree spirit?Xue Qing originally thought that Shen Xuan could be intimidated only by receiving all the quasi-teachers.

Hanging his eyes and smiling, Xue Qing looked up at the poplar spirit again, stretched out his hand and said, "Is this Bixuan? I'll hug you."

The poplar tree spirit hurriedly pushed the child in his arms to Xue Qing's hand, but the child pursed his lips and said: "No comparison, I dare not bother you, let me stand by myself."

After saying that, he jumped off the ground by himself, and then his body lengthened, and he turned into a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy in a blink of an eye.Looking down at his clothes and accessories again, Shen Bixuan said: "I thought I came to see Ah Xuan, and now I've turned into a child - he likes me the most - who would have met you first?" ?”

Xue Qing was startled, then laughed and said, "You are... you also

Don't know how to please me? "

Shen Bixuan shook his hand and said: "How many people in the world please you, there is no shortage of me. If I am not very polite, on the contrary, I can make a noble person like Tianzun remember me for a while, won't I?"

Xue Qing smiled and said: "You child, you can mess around. We just met, and I will let you know for Ah Xuan, go and pack your things quickly, we will leave here tomorrow."

Shen Bixuan seemed a little surprised, blinked, and said: "Isn't it only a year here? Why do you want to leave again? Isn't this here occupied by us?"

Xue Qing said: "It's not that I won't come back now, it's just that Ah Xuan has something to do, let's go out together for a while. If you like this place, go tell Ah Xuan, and naturally you will come back in the future."

Shen Bixuan nodded, and said again: "I'm afraid that Tianzun will not come back after this? I heard earlier that Tianzun has his own dojo, which is much larger than the original fox clan's territory in the extreme north."

Xue Qing was startled again, and after a while, he curled his lips and sighed with a smile: "Who knows in the future... just maybe I will go out with you this time, and after that... I won't come back."

There is always a banquet in the world. Before he said this, he hadn't made any plans, but now that he said it, he felt a little bit sad.

He had made a plan before, to practice hard, and what he told Shen Xuan that his cultivation had been compromised was not entirely false.And since it is going to retreat, it really does not know how long it will take, and Shen Xuan can't be kept guarding outside.

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand and patted Shen Bixuan's head again, and said with a smile, "You don't expect me to leave, do you?"

Shen Bixuan tilted his head, but he didn't escape his hand, pursed his mouth, and said in a low voice: "Yes, yes, Tianzun, it's better if you left earlier, so that Ah Xuan won't miss you every day and worry about you. I have to say it every day, how about Ah Qing..."

Xue Qing smiled and said, "What did he say about me?"

Shen Bixuan turned his head, and muttered: "Isn't it...worrying about why Tianzun is going to retreat suddenly. Even we have heard countless dangers of cultivation, and scare them every day so that their faces turn pale."

Xue Qing couldn't help teasing him: "Aren't you afraid?"

Shen Bixuan snorted, and said: "I have nothing to be afraid of... I am not those two little demons, who just entered the sect, and my foundation is not good, so I am worried about these things. I have practiced for many years, and I know all the tricks. It's not dangerous to act recklessly and perversely. I just don't know what the cat is worried about. If Ah Xuan is concerned, he will be chaotic. He..."

Halfway through, Shen Bixuan thought for a while and said, "I heard that Qingxuan worshiped Tianzun as his teacher? Will he go with Tianzun too?"

Xue Qing smiled and said, "Are you reluctant to part with your friend? I'm just sorry, he wants to leave with me."

Now that Qingxuan was mentioned, Xue Qing couldn't help remembering that he seemed to hear the sound of tribulation thunder descending twice during the retreat.One of them should be Shen Bixuan's transformation, and the other one should be Qingxuan, right?

remember

On the day of investigation of their cultivation base, Qingxuan was a line higher than Bixuan. Now that Bixuan has been formed, Qingxuan should also be transformed into a little cat-eared loli.

He didn't doubt whether Qingxuan was the one who threatened Shen Xuan. The cat was originally rescued by Shen Xuan, not posted by itself. If there is anything weird, it would be too coincidental.

What is even more suspicious is... the poplar spirit in front of him.Xue Qing glanced at him sideways, and asked again: "Where are my children? Qingxuan has already transformed, right?"

Without waiting for Shen Bixuan to answer, the man who transformed into a poplar tree replied first: "Brother Qingxuan transformed into a form a year ago, and now he is doing retreat protection for the two boys of Tianzun, can you call him in?"

Xue Qing nodded, and then remembered that he hadn't asked the poplar tree spirit's name.Even if this poplar tree spirit is really playing tricks behind his back, it is impossible not to say a word to him. Naturally, there must be a title, so he said: "By the way, I don't know your name yet, how should you call it? Give it to me, I want to thank you."
