old grace

As the new year approaches, everything is quiet.

A month ago, the yamen from Hexi County to Longcheng were all arguing about Feng Shuniang's murder.

Until the emperor's decree to allocate money to Xingcheng to build the Xuannv Temple through the Master's Office of the Protector of the Country spread all over the world, the admonishers who had been aggressive and insisted on digging out Feng Shuniang's corpse fell silent.

Generally speaking, the emperor is more virtuous than the first emperor, and he is not as obsessed with power and cruelty as the first emperor.

However, is it possible for an emperor who dared to kill his father and stand on his own feet to have a good temper, gentleness and benevolence?The first emperor's heirs were killed by the emperor in sevens and eights, even the princesses were not spared.His own prince also yelled and scolded at every turn, killing him whenever he said so.

——The emperor who killed his father, brother, and son was relentless. How many ministers dare to confront him?

Above the imperial court, Gan Gang is arbitrary.

When the emperor's attitude is ambiguous and there is no clear will, the ministers have room to dispute and express their political ideals.Once the emperor has a clear intention, no one in the whole court dares to stroke the dragon's beard lightly.

The emperor wants to allocate money to Xingcheng to build the Xuannv Temple, which is obviously to replace the falsified "An Xiangu" and "Xiangu Stone".

Feng Shuniang is the pious followers of An Xiangu, and the emperor is supporting "An Xiangu", which minister would dare to scold the followers of "An Xiangu" for violating the code of conduct, and should dig out the corpses when they die?

What's more, the emperor's decree was also very subtle.The yamen that allocated funds for the construction of the Xuannv Temple in Xingcheng is the residence of the Master Huguo.

The predecessor of Master Huguo's Mansion was the famous "temple". The former monk was deeply trusted by the late emperor. At that time, he was a ruthless character who disturbed the situation and said nothing. After the old monk died, the current monk publicly took the unenthroned emperor under his sect His Royal Highness has become a legend in the world.

The monk has the merit of following the dragon, and he is divided into master and apprentice with the emperor, and his status can be described as detached in the Zhou Dynasty.

——The emperor made a little sense of killing people, but the protector of the country was completely unreasonable.He will do whoever dares to provoke him.

Those who can get in front of the Dragon City Emperor are all human beings, how can they not understand the holy will?

The emperor transferred money to Xingcheng through the Palace of the Master of the Protector of the Country, and his attitude was very clear: whoever dares to fight against me, I will open the door and let the monk go.

You deserve the death of a monk. If you dare to punish a monk, you will die immediately.What is a protector of the country?He is protecting the country, if you dare to point fingers at him, then you are trying to harm the country and me!

Xie Qinghe didn't expect that the imperial court would be so calmed down by Fu Wei and Shu Hanyun.Emperor Qianyuan and Fu Wei were both murderers without batting an eyelid, but Shu Hanyun might not be much gentler, as evidenced by the coercion of power.

All in all, after the twelfth lunar month, everything went up and down.

The case of Wang's daughter's patricide was soon concluded.

Old man Wang was killed, and Wang Huiji had already been executed by Fu Chuan. Of course, the remaining judges, Xie Qinghe and Fu Chuan, could not be arrested and punished. He didn't even say how to deal with it in detail-the emperor forbids it.

In the eyes of the emperor, it is disrespectful for you worldly people to dare to call the elder brother a taboo, so you are worthy of judging my elder brother?

The case of Feng Shuniang, who had been arguing for more than half a month, was also expedited.

The next-door uncle and cousin who killed Feng Shuniang were all sentenced to hang.

The most astonishing thing is that even Diao Erhu, who beat and killed his wife who ran away privately, was sentenced to death by hanging. Generally speaking, a wife who ran away from home and ran away, and a husband who caught the adulterer and beat him to death would not be sentenced to death.Sang ran away from home with the intention of remarrying. Although there was no adulterer to collude with her, Diao Erhu's beating her to death was not only "excusable", but also somewhat "just and fair". He dies.

However, at the beginning, Xingcheng ordered Diao Erhu to hang the dossier handed over to the superior Yamen.

Li Nanfeng thought this was what the elder brother meant, so the emperor specially summoned the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment into the palace, knocked and questioned him, and there was nothing to discuss about this case.This is the heart of heaven.

Xingcheng Ling was already prepared to be dismissed from his post, but he didn't know that the matter went so smoothly, and the matter was over before he was arguing.

It just so happened that Fu Chuan had taken the prescription prescribed by him for almost two months, and his physical problems had also improved. Xing Chengling was so happy every day, and often invited Fu Chuan to have dinner and play—he also wanted to invite Xie Qinghe, but Most of them would not be invited, only Fu Chuan occasionally went to the banquet to honor his face.

Everyone is asking, is Master Xie planning to celebrate the New Year in Xingcheng?Even the prefect of Hexi had plans to visit Xingcheng.

Xie Qinghe and Fu Chuan had no time to say goodbye, so they led their horses to Wuxing directly.

Xingcheng, Xingcheng and Wuxing are a three-way route that does not rely on three sides. At this time, it is cold and snowy everywhere, and it is not convenient to ride a horse.

The uncle and the second uncle are both steeds that have been fed with miraculous seeds. The sleeping wind rides on the snow like walking on the ground, and the third little treasure is a three-year-old pony just found in the horse market. Only go out when the snow melts.

He took Fu Chuan and Ah Shou with him, enjoying the snow and plum blossoms all the way to Wuxing City.

Fu Chuan had shown signs of a breakthrough a few months earlier, he was exhausted by old troubles and unable to make progress. After Xie Qinghe led Jie Lei to clean up the old troubles for him, and after this period of hard work, he was almost on the verge of breaking through.

The bustling city is full of people, and it is not good for breaking the situation. Xie Qinghe also wants to bring his junior brother to get closer to the world and the mountains and rivers.

When the two of them were tired from walking, they let the uncle and the second uncle out for a ride. In rainy and snowy weather, they could directly take out the carriage compartment in the portable space to shelter from the rain. Everyone has the ability to be invulnerable to cold and heat, and sometimes they would rest on a low couch in the snow, and Fu Chuan would get into the snow when he was playing, hugging Xie Qinghe and laughing.

As New Year's Eve approached, there was still some distance to Wuxing City.

Fu Chuan asked Xie Qinghe for instructions: "Brother, shall we rush to the city to celebrate the New Year?"

Xie Qinghe has been paying close attention to Fu Chuan's practice status during this time, and knows very clearly that the junior brother is about to break through in the next two days.

"It's not a big deal to celebrate the New Year every year. Don't be impatient to make a breakthrough. It will happen when it will happen." Xie Qinghe rode on the horse without pulling the rein, letting the uncle wander in the snow, "If you want to go to Wuxing City, let's fly Yuan passed by. If you don’t worry, the mountains and fields will be overwhelmed, and you are by my side, so where can’t we celebrate the festival?”

"I want to celebrate the New Year in the mountains. I'm afraid that food and drink will be poor, and there will be no new clothes and shoes, which will ruin the joy of the New Year, big brother." Fu said.

"Then live in the mountains. Choose a suitable place on the road, where the mountains and rivers are displaced, and stay for a few days." Xie Qinghe remembered the thoughts that Fu Chuan had prepared before, "Earlier, you wanted to find a place to live in seclusion and practice, and it is rare to go down the mountain. It’s a pleasure to stay for a few days.”

Xie Qinghe has experienced too many demons, not all cities in various places are familiar with him, and he knows all the trends of the mountains and rivers in the world.

The younger brother wanted to stay in the wilderness and live in seclusion for a few days, so Xie Qinghe took him slightly off course, walked along the Xianghe ancient road for two days, and entered the remaining veins of Mangshan Mountain.On the way, I came across a place with beautiful mountain scenery. It can hide from the wind and avoid the violence, and there is a water source nearby. Fu Chuan liked it very much, and Xie Qinghe also thought it was good: "This is it."

Fu Chuan swiftly cut down dead branches and miscellaneous trees to level the land so that the carriage could be put down.

Xie Qinghe's thoughts are much more relaxed than his: "You can't let go of your hands and feet when lying in the carriage. Why don't you nail a small house and store it in the space at ordinary times, and let it out when you want to rest."

Thinking of the enthusiasm of the elder brother to build plank roads, terraces, and small houses, Fu Chuan can't deprive the elder brother of his fun.

"Okay. I'll help Senior Brother." Fu Chuan thought of Senior Brother You Jing.

Xie Qinghe's skill in building a house is also not what it used to be. Fu Chuan is responsible for helping him cut trees and wood, and he is responsible for nailing the walls. The two of them only decided on a place to stay for a few days at noon. In the evening, a room with a small balcony , The log cabin with the big balcony is built.

"The smell is too strong." Fu Chuan said that the newly felled wood could not be lived in at all.

Xie Qinghe put his hand on the wet wood and wiped it lightly, the raw material is the mature material: "I will clean it up and it will be ready soon, you go to cook."

Fu Chuan was deeply curious about this, and leaned closer to see how he behaved.

Xie Qinghe taught it by hand, and Fu Chuan learned how to force out the real essence and control it at his fingertips. He wanted to process it along the wood.

"This..." Fu Chuan looked at the leaky room with embarrassment, "I can put it together after picking it up..."

Xie Qinghe encouraged him with a smile: "Not long ago, I learned to control the water and almost emptied the Xuanchi, and I have grown a lot today." The real energy controlled by the fingertips can push the wall, not the real energy at the moment of touching the object. Sweeping empty is already a huge improvement.

Of course there are achievements from Fu Chuan's painstaking practice, but most of them come from the practice of becoming a demon and the feeding of Xie Qinghe's double cultivation.

Ever since Shangguan Shiyi angrily reprimanded Xie Qinghe for "love without virtue", Xie Qinghe has been refining his true energy to supply Fu Chuan bit by bit.He made up for it very well, and would not let Fu Chuan achieve it overnight. However, after being chewed by him, he gave Fu Chuan the thoroughly pure essence, which was completely worth Fu Chuan's hard work for several months. The environment is extraordinary.

Fu Chuan understood what was going on, but this matter was a taboo between him and Xie Qinghe, so he could only look up and pretend to be good at this time.

The wall that was blown out was basically unusable, but fortunately, the two of them were not afraid of the cold, and the four and three walls were not in the way.Xie Qinghe continued to tidy up the still wet wood with real yuan in the house, while Fu Chuan prepared pot-stove dinner on the balcony.

In the mountains, there is no distinction between the sun and the moon.

The two didn't have a meal until midnight, Xie Qinghe melted the snow water again, and the two took a bath and frolicked under the faint starlight.

After the rain rested and the clouds were collected, Fu Chuan sat on Xie Qinghe's lap, laying on the edge of the bathtub, looked at the layers of snow on the treetops, and said, "Brother, we have been enchanted to play for decades, and we hide on the mountain every day. Eat and sleep, sleep and eat, that's fine too."

Xie Qinghe already suspected Patriarch Ye Qingxu's real intention to lure him into a demon, but he didn't refuse because of his junior brother's eagerness: "You are about to break through immediately. After you break through, senior brother will take you there."

Fu Chuan lowered his head and scratched at the outer edge of the bathtub: "I won't make progress again."

"I'm tired these days." Xie Qinghe dipped a towel in hot water and gently wiped his back exposed to the cold wind, "Ordinary disciples from the outer sect should often recite the Tianzun Bao to purify their minds after they go to the ghosts. Misery and suffering all belong to the dark road. All you see in the Xingcheng county government are innocent souls who died violently, not to mention that you can't bring justice for everyone... It is inevitable to be physically and mentally exhausted."

This is the legendary heart tired.

Fu Chuan's mind cultivation is not very good. If he can act according to his heart, he can vent out the resentment he got from summoning the souls. However, he is only in charge of summoning souls to complain, and Xingcheng Ling is responsible for the punishment, and he has to strictly abide by the law. The verdicts often did not satisfy Fu Chuan.

"I gradually understand Master's thinking." Fu Chuan leaned on his arm, "The common laws of the secular world are the principles they firmly believe in and practice. I think differently from them, so what? That's their rule , I don't like their way of playing, and I can't control it, if they insist on meddling, they will hate me like a gangster, so it's better to let them play by themselves."

Xie Qinghe just wiped his body with a hot towel and didn't speak.

Everyone has their own Tao, Xie Qinghe's Tao is the Tao, and Shangguan Shiyi's Tao is also the Tao, there is no distinction between high and low.

On the contrary, Fu Chuan took the initiative to turn the topic around to Xie Qinghe, and turned his head to look at him: "Eldest brother has practiced in magic for countless years, I'm afraid I have seen too many such disgusting things, and he can still persist in practicing in the world until now, and give relief to the world forever I really admire the heart to save and help."

"You are also in two lifetimes. Cao Niang, Chen Jun, the world you live in, the customs are harsher and crueler than this world, and you have never seen anxiety and world-weariness in you. Have you ever thought about what it is for?" Xie Qinghe asked suddenly.

Fu Chuan was taken aback by the question.

"Eight years ago, you and I met for the first time in Luoma City. You were stigmatized, criticized by everyone in the world, and hunted down by the Dragon Scale Guards. I only saw that you were full of enthusiasm and went all directions, even if you were the emperor of Longcheng. You dare to test with a gun, at that time, how did you manage any general laws? How did you care about your rules and my rules?" Xie Qinghe asked again.

Fu Chuan was stunned when asked poorly.He felt that he was struggling these days, but he couldn't figure out what was going on.

It is clear that the second senior brother is the emperor in Longcheng. It is clear that everything is done according to his and the senior brother's thoughts. There is an imperial decree from the second senior brother to suppress it. They all reviewed it quickly and clearly.

But, why are you still not happy?

After being reminded by Xie Qinghe, after thinking about it for a moment, Fu Chuan was enlightened.

The focus is on the three words "our own people".

When he was Fu Cao Niang, he didn't regard the emperor as his own, nor did he treat the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty as his own. Whenever he was dissatisfied, he tried his best to rectify it until he was satisfied.When he was Chen Juan, he didn't regard the powerful ministers who were responsible for the founding of the country as his own, let alone the aristocrats of the aristocratic family. He dared to let anyone who dared to interfere with his philosophy of governing the world go to the field with his buttocks naked. There is no longer a place to stand in the hall.

Eight years ago, he went down the mountain alone to investigate the cause of Liu Niangzi's death and find the secret of his life experience.

The Star Swallowing Sect slandered him, and the Dragon Scale Guards chased him down. The emperor in Dragon City was behind the scenes, and his anger could overthrow the imperial court.

——He was originally an enemy, so how can there be any affection at all?

Just do it.

Now he suddenly felt aggrieved, feeling bored and anxious because he didn't dare to lift the table.

Because, the emperor in Dragon City is the second senior brother, and it is the third senior brother who helps the second senior brother monitor the morals of the world.

Those are all "one of us" in Fu Chuan's mind.

No matter how much he is dissatisfied with his own people, he can only find ways to influence and communicate. If it really doesn't make sense, he can't turn his face and be ruthless, let alone turn the table to make trouble.This is the minimum courtesy of being a good boy.

Xie Qinghe took a handful of hot water with a towel, poured it under the back of Fu Chuan's neck, and said, "I'll give you an idea."

Fu Chuan already had a plan in mind, however, the senior brother wanted to give advice, and he listened humbly, turned around and put his arms around Xie Qinghe's neck, and asked obediently: "What?"

"After you break through, take the warrant I gave you, go to the capital to find Li Nanfeng, and beat him up." Xie Qinghe said.

Fu Chuan's eyes widened.What kind of idea is this?

"If he respects your status as the head disciple, he will respect you from now on, and he will help each other inside and outside the world, and then he will be able to do things. If he is still unconvinced after you beat him up, you should let go of your heart. You don’t have to worry about who is your own person and who is not your own person—when you see someone you want to save, you go to save it. When you encounter something you don’t like, you go to get rid of it.”

Xie Qinghe bowed his head and kissed him, pinching his cheek: "The court is the court of the Fu family, the world is the emperor's world, and it has nothing to do with your senior or that senior. Besides, they don't treat you as their own."

Fu Chuan was completely convinced.

Why does Xie Qinghe have a pure mind, without any sense of restraint?

Because he has been so domineering since he was a child.As the head disciple of the Hanjiang Sword Sect, anyone who wants to be Xie Qinghe's own has to obey him obediently.If you refuse to obey his orders, you are an outsider.When dealing with outsiders, Xie Qinghe never hesitated.

Therefore, even though he knew that the current emperor was Shu Hanyun, when he was in Xuncheng, he almost went to kill Xuncheng Ling.

——The emperor didn't listen to his orders, and he didn't have to consider being responsible to the emperor for anything he did.

"For no reason, I ran to fight with the third senior brother to scare others." Fu Chuan felt that the elder brother's proposal was a rascal.

"It's good that you know it in your heart." Xie Qinghe didn't force Fu Chuan to beat Li Nanfeng to stand up. "A few years ago in Jianshan Pavilion, he was no match for you. You have been filial and fraternal all your life, blindly forbearance. Than others A few years younger, and a few years later to go up the mountain, it’s just a disadvantage.”

Fu Chuan thought to himself, Shi Qin still used my name to write letters to scold the third senior brother for several years, so it doesn't necessarily mean that someone always suffers.

"A few years younger also has the advantage of being a few years younger." Fu Chuan slipped into Xie Qinghe's arms under the water, and hugged him hehe, "Occasionally, if you are naughty and ignorant, the big brother is too embarrassed to teach me, and you must always be considerate."

Just as Xie Qinghe was about to speak, his calf felt numb and slightly painful. After thinking about it, he realized that Fu Chuan had pinched his leg with his toe on purpose.

"Are you so naughty?" Xie Qinghe held him in his hands, "Only toes can pinch?"

"Fingers can do it too." Fu Chuan covered Xie Qinghe's eyes with warm and moist hands, lowered his head to enclose his lips, and after a deep kiss, he secretly smiled, "The upper and lower lips can do it too."

"What else?" Xie Qinghe leaned closer and gasped.

Fu Chuan blinked.

■

Xie Qinghe's breakthroughs are always limited by the skin occupied by the group of demons, but Fu Chuan is the opposite, completely restricted by his rotten heart cultivation.

After the two of them talked about "one of us" at night, Fu Chuan's heart cultivation, which had not been moving for a long time, actually took a step across, and the bottleneck was immediately loosened.

The next day, Xie Qinghe was still repairing the wooden wall that was smashed by Fu Chuan. Fu Chuan, who practiced guns and martial arts on the cliff, stretched out his muscles and bones. Flying in mid-air, it does not fall for a long time.

Xie Qinghe came over after hearing the sound, seeing Fu Chuan's peaceful face and gentle atmosphere around him, he hugged Ah Shou and stood beside him to protect the dharma.

——The reason why I hugged Ah Shou was also because I was worried that this unknown thing would cause some troubles, which would ruin my junior brother's practice.

As a Taoist companion, Xie Qinghe understands Fu Chuan's cultivation state very well.

At this time, Fu Chuan's Ding Po Realm, with Xie Qinghe's skill, even if he stood four feet away, he could easily judge Fu Chuan's state and confirm that Fu Chuan had reached that point.If there is anything wrong with Fu Chuan during the breakthrough, he will have time to rescue him immediately.

Everything is going smooth.

Xie Qinghe stared at Fu Chuan intently, watching as Fu Chuan dug and widened the Xuanchi little by little, and rebuilt the Chuanjing little by little.

The last bit of true energy was filled to the smallest detail, and the breath in the profound pool surged in like a tide, quickly filling up the expanded profound pool of Fu Chuan, Xie Qinghe was very pleased.

It became.

"There is still a ray of innate qi, which can beat the muscles and bones and strengthen the body. Your Xuanchi has been injured before, but you can beat it slowly from the dantian, don't worry, the senior brother is here to protect you, take your time, be careful..." Xie Qinghe He pointed out aloud, and the rhythm of his voice was different from usual when he spoke, but it deliberately matched Fu Chuan's surging inner breath at this time, and combined with his spiritual consciousness and true essence, so as to help him beat his muscles and bones with strength.

The wisp of innate qi that seemed to circulate in Fu Chuan's body was indeed controlled.

Xie Qinghe was about to point out the directional formula aloud, but found that the joints in Fu Chuan's body that had been closed for a long time stretched out sequentially, and the innate qi was slowly scattered.

He didn't beat his muscles!

Instead - reshaping the body.

This made Xie Qinghe very astonished.

Every time a monk breaks through, he is reborn. However, if he wants to be reborn, he must use his innate qi to beat his muscles and bones.Get rid of the mortal body and get the fairy body.Do this nine times before you become physically sanctified.

There are also disabled or unsatisfactory monks who will give up the opportunity to beat their muscles and bones and choose to reshape their bodies.

This is of course no problem.It's nothing more than spending more time practicing and earning one more chance to beat the muscles and bones.

What surprised Xie Qinghe was that Fu Chuan didn't have any disabilities on his body, and he was good-looking, so why did he want to reshape his body?Does he have any dissatisfaction with his current body?

At such a critical juncture, a slight misstep would ruin his practice, no matter how much confusion Xie Qinghe had, he couldn't ask why.

Xie Qinghe just watched the younger brother reshape his figure in such a daze, and didn't see the younger brother grow two waists or two legs. After the body was reshaped to the end, Xie Qinghe could barely see that the younger brother was taller. up.

Originally, Fu Chuan was half a head shorter than Xie Qinghe, but now he has grown by more than two inches. According to Xie Qinghe's visual inspection, he should be about the same height.

Just to... grow taller?

Xie Qinghe didn't think the junior brother's move was ridiculous, he looked at Fu Chuan's closed eyes, his expression gradually became serious.

It is not a very easy and pleasant process to beat the muscles and bones, and it is even more difficult to reshape the body.Pulling open the joints in the whole body, using the innate qi to forcibly regenerate the muscles, bones and flesh, Xie Qinghe can feel the pain of Fu Chuan at this time from a distance of four feet.

However, the matter is not over yet.

Fu Chuan reshaped his body with the innate qi, so he naturally lost the opportunity to beat his muscles and bones.

——Emphasis on appearance rather than reality, this is the most taboo vanity of the Hanjiang Sword Sect.Being stared at by the elder brother the whole time, does Fu Chuan dare to open his eyes?

After the shaping was over, Fu Chuan grew two inches taller, but a sword qi flew out from his forehead and pierced directly into his throat.

The sword energy is owned by Xie Qinghe, he knows where the sword is going, but he has never been frightened.He just frowned slightly, watching Fu Chuan do his best.

The sword energy has turned into a sharp gleam along Fu Chuan's throat, replacing the innate qi, and began to poke Fu Chuan's muscles and bones, forcibly achieving the effect of beating the muscles and bones.The bright purple qi slid inch by inch, cutting out the turbid qi in Fu Chuan's body with a single sword, and the turbid qi and hostile qi intertwined and stretched in the air, and were annihilated immediately.

Xie Qinghe looked at it for a while, and gradually heaved a sigh of relief.Secretly, the younger brother is smart.

Beating the muscles and bones with innate qi is a very painful process, Xie Qinghe has not had a good time breaking through several times, every time he was beaten terribly.

However, the cunning of Fu Chuan is that he used the innate qi to shape his body, so that the residual qi was carried all over his body, and then he used Xie Qinghe's sword qi to remove the turbid qi from the muscles and bones.The innate qi played a role, and because of Xie Qinghe's sword qi, he was very affectionate and gentle towards him, every stab with the sword was just right, and he would never hurt him at all - he used sword qi to quench his bones, but it was better than the innate qi Beating the muscles and bones is a hundred times more comfortable.

Can still play like this.Xie Qinghe silently wrote a word of congratulations to the junior brother.

Junior brother has never been unintelligent or lacking in talent, he is just younger and lacks some insight.

The enchanted world has completed the experience of the two lifetimes, and the knowledge of practice has come up, and the future is limitless.

The sword energy stammered through Fu Chuan's body inch by inch. Xie Qinghe stayed by his side to protect the dharma from day to night, and Ah Shou was so bored that he fell asleep in Xie Qinghe's arms.

When a crescent moon appeared in the sky, the turbid Qi from Fu Chuan's toes was completely cut off, and the sword Qi flew out and sank into Fu Chuan's forehead.

Fu Chuan slowly opened his eyes, just in time to see Xie Qinghe's direction.

He blinked a little guilty, and flew off the cliff to the ground, apparently wondering whether to pounce on him to act like a spoiled child or kneel down to admit his mistake.

Xie Qinghe put Ah Shou aside, stepped forward to hug him, and encouraged him: "My little tree has grown into a big tree."

Fu Chuan immediately became happy, and habitually stretched out his hand, wanting to wrap his arms around his neck.However, he had grown two inches taller at this time, and was about the same height and build as Xie Qinghe. He used to hang his arms around his neck when he stretched out his arms—now he couldn't hang them anymore, and his arms grew out.

This made Fu Chuan a little unaccustomed and even more embarrassing.Like a child who sneaks on stilts.

He had no choice but to change the arm around his neck to hug Xie Qinghe's shoulder, and asked, "Do you like me to be taller, senior brother?"

"It's best to let the height and appearance take its course. If you like to grow taller, the senior brother also likes it very much." Xie Qinghe truthfully stated his thoughts.

Cultivators generally don't change their height and weight, because their own body is in harmony with the five elements of heaven, earth, and the true essence of the exercises they have practiced for many years. The one born with them is the most suitable.From Xie Qinghe's point of view, the younger brother's height and appearance are perfect, and there is no need to change them.

——However, the junior brother has already changed it, so he must have his own reasons, and he supports it.

What really worries Xie Qinghe is why does the junior brother want to grow taller?

When Fu Chuan was young, Xie Qinghe was very careful not to have too much influence on him, for fear of affecting Fu Chuan's own "Tao".

However, in the past few years, they could barely tell the difference. After the two of them made love, they had two experiences in the demon world, and the relationship was too close.

Fu Chuan accepted everything Xie Qinghe pointed out without any doubt, and those details that Xie Qinghe refused to point out that affected him, Fu Chuan would still quietly follow suit—he liked to learn everything Xie Qinghe had to say.Learn Xie Qinghe's character shape, learn Xie Qinghe's chess moves, learn Xie Qinghe's demeanor, even Xie Qinghe's sword energy will be kept in the Zifu, and released to play from time to time.

Now even after the breakthrough, he has to use Xie Qinghe's sword energy to temper his muscles and bones.

It must be known that the sword energy is like the heart of a sword, and what is carried in the sword energy is Xie Qinghe's thoughts and mind, but it is only matched with Fu Chuan's muscles and bones.

——From the beginning to the end, Fu Chuan never thought of drawing a clear line with Xie Qinghe.

What he wanted was to get closer, to get closer, to get even closer.

"I was very worried at first. I was worried that you were too close to me and confused yourself. After all, what you cultivate is the one-hearted way, not the human way."

Xie Qinghe looked into Fu Chuan's eyes that were close at hand, and the younger brother insisted on growing two inches taller. When they looked at each other and stood there, they no longer looked up at the other, and he would never see the younger brother with his head up, looking so cute and pitiful.

"I remembered again, that day when you and I came home at night in Xingcheng, you were drunk and vented your emotions in the alleys... your body was like a silver dragon, and your hands were like guns. When you were drunk, you used marksmanship. It is not the sword energy that is often played with in the palm of your hand. After all, you still guard your own way."

Xie Qinghe admitted generously: "I must have worried too much and underestimated you."

Fu Chuan's experience of becoming a devil lasted for a hundred years. How could he still be the young man who cried at the elder brother's knee and didn't know anything?

Even before he made love to Xie Qinghe, his behavior was far more mature and stable than at this time.

The root cause is nothing more than that Xie Qinghe likes to condescend and pamper him too much, and he wants to please Xie Qinghe so much that he unconsciously shows a childish demeanor in order to cater to the senior brother's desire to protect.It's as if if he is not soft, cute and innocent enough, he is not worthy of the meticulous care and love of the elder brother.

However, the pretended mood cannot last long after all.

Even if Fu Chuan really wanted to lie under the elder brother's lap for the rest of his life and behave like a child, his subdued nature would not allow it.

——Why does he want to grow taller?

—Which tree does not want to grow taller?
