Ten Thousand Postures of Whitewashing Master

One day, Xuannan set up a game of chess, using gossip and six lines to predict the future direction, and threw out a mixed set of black and white pieces. The places where the pieces fell were different from the pros and cons. He calculated that Bai Qinghan's hit would be doomed. On the front line of life and death, he guessed that Bu Nian'an would secretly take Bai Qinghan's life. The latter had an old illness and was close to death, and it was not easy to side with Daoxuan Mingli, so he came up with a way.

He secretly informed Mo Yanzhen, the head of the sword sect, to pay attention to every move of Lingxue Palace, and if Daoxuan Daoxuan Bai Qinghan was in trouble, he asked Tiandaomen to take action immediately.

Next, there is a long wait.

Bu Nian'an is a scheming, deep city, and a fearsome man who is extremely good at patience. As early as when Xiao Baihong was still in his infancy, Xuannan had sensed his wolfish ambitions, and waited for three years in a daze until he was given the gift of Ling Xue. Bai Zhezhou, who is the son of the palace, had to be born to meet people, and Bu Nian'an suppressed his impulse and never made a move, so that Xuannan once thought that his divination had made a mistake.

And the intensification of the conflict between Daoxuan and Daoxu is because of Bai Zhezhou.

In order to fight for the custody of the eldest son of Lingxue Palace, the two almost fought.As a collateral family with a foreign surname, Bu Nian'an didn't come to intervene in the affairs of the Bai family this time, it was a mistake, and besides, his skills were not as good as others and he lost half a move, so Bai Zhezhou naturally belonged to Bai Qinghan's family.

Because of this enmity, Bu Nian'an made up his mind to get rid of Bai Qinghan. After all, Bai Zhezhou is the orthodox successor of Lingxue Palace, controlling him is equivalent to controlling the lifeline of Bai's family, and Bu Nian'an will never give in.

Therefore, Bai Qinghan was hunted down by Tingyulou forces.

At that time, no one knew who belonged to this force hidden deep in the cultivation world, and realizing that all the killers dispatched were spiritually repulsed by Bai Qinghan, Xuannan was relieved.

He hugged the little Zhezhou who could speak a few words sporadically, rubbing his chubby face habitually.

"Fortunately, everything is within my expectations. Although he will suffer some hardships, he will not die. There is no other way..."

"Woo... it hurts!"

"Pain? Where does it hurt, show me quickly."

Xiao Zhezhou put his fat hand on Xuannan's heart, he was stunned for a long time, then he suddenly hugged the child tightly, crying embarrassingly and bitterly.

He knew that it was a spell cast by himself, and it would be difficult for even a god to retrieve his memory, but even after he became like this, he still knew the pain in his heart...

"Bai Hong... I regret it, I don't want to be separated from you..."

"Well?"

Xiao Zhezhou scratched his head, unable to understand his words, seeing him crying sadly, he quietly waited for him to regain his composure.

In fact, these days these days, every night he wakes up with severe pain in his heart, and every time he wakes up, the small boat that should sleep in the inner room will always lie on his chest and stick to his heart, giving him a little pain relief warmth.

He always thought that the child was timid and didn't dare to sleep alone, so he secretly climbed into bed to find a sense of security. Now that he thought about it... it was clear that he was being guarded night after night.

"Bai Hong...I regret it, you come back, please come back..."

Just like myself who begged bitterly in front of my father's grave back then, knowing that there was no result, I still called out loudly.

But at this time, Xiao Zhezhou was no longer the same Bai Hong as before, she wiped away the fuzzy tears for him, hugged Xuannan with her young arms, and patted his back, just like when he was coaxing him to sleep earlier.

"Don't cry...well, it doesn't hurt...it's gone, the pain, the pain is gone!"

He babbled and threw himself on Xuannan, pinching his face, insisting on pulling the corners of his mouth to see him smile.

Although tormented by feelings, the days were still peaceful. Not long after, I received news from Tiandaomen that Bai Qinghan was injured and had returned, and the head of the sect, Mo Yanzhen, even specifically told Lingxue Palace not to cause civil strife. He slapped Bu Nian'an in the face severely.

The conflict between Daoxuan and Daoxu intensifies, and Xuannan and Xiao Zhezhou are caught in a dilemma.

The reason why Xuannan became the guardian of Xiao Zhezhou is because his existence can balance the two major forces in Lingxue Palace. Bu Nian'an has no complaints about this, and Bai Qinghan knows Bai Zhezhou's origin, let alone stop.

He thought he could live in peace for a long time, but when Bai Qinghan returned from Tiandaomen, he brought bad news.

"The imperial swordsmith Cang Tianhe escaped from the Nine Heavens, and Emperor Zun was furious. He has a very close relationship with you, right?"

Shocked, Xuan Nan's hand that poured the tea trembled, the teapot fell on the table and smashed into pieces, and without taking a second look, he grabbed Bai Qinghan and asked, "Where is he? What's the situation?"

"I don't know, but he must be alive."

If Cang Tianhe died, Emperor Zun would not have to track down his whereabouts, Xuannan felt relieved a little, and asked again: "Then did he take anything from the Nine Heavens, such as...a sword?"

"I don't know, but I heard that the one who chased him was the sword spirit he had awakened, it seems to be called Duan..."

"Broken snake."

Xuannan dare not imagine what happened to his elder brother and Broken Snake, killing people and punishing their hearts, Emperor Zun really played a good game of chess!

This became the opportunity for Xuannan to leave Lingxue Palace.

After all, he brought up Xiao Zhezhou with his own hands. On the day of parting, he cried to death and refused to get up.

XuanNan felt a little helpless, no matter how coaxed it was to no avail, he thought of what it would be like if Bai Hong was an indifferent and ruthless emperor in the past, rolling all over the floor like a baby like now.

Looking at his expression, Bai Qinghan felt a little soft-hearted, and said indifferently: "Why don't you take him away together, it's annoying all day long."

Bu Nian'an also echoed in order to win over: "Zhezhou is still young, so he doesn't need to be bound by the sect's dogma, it's good to make him happier, but the master must remember to send him back to Lingxue Palace when he was seven years old, otherwise he will miss the opportunity to practice. , it’s not easy to explain to the patriarch.”

Bai Qinghan muttered to himself: "It's a pious..."

At that time, he didn't have the temperament and background of being Xijun, and his thoughts were written on his face. Before leaving, Xuannan taught him the most important survival rule: "Since you have closed your eyes, don't let them go. People can see through your heart. People must first learn to love themselves before they can love others."

What he didn't know was that as early as that time, Bai Qinghan already had his own heart, and he didn't dare to face it directly because of his etiquette and identity, but because of his words, he suddenly realized that love...is a sacred feeling, and should not be treated by foreign objects. Change.

That year Xuannan left Beidi with his three-year-old Xiao Zhezhou. When he left, the sky was covered with snow, and his spirit was piercing, just like the Kunlun Cold Valley back then.

The little guy sat on Xuannan's arm, and looked at the vast sky with him, silent for a long time, and suddenly said without beginning and end: "That's great."

The enunciation was exceptionally clear, and he was a different person from before.

Xuannan was very surprised, he stared at Xiao Zhezhou for a long time, then suddenly smiled.

"What a fart, I'll take you to risk, if you lose your life, it's too late for you to hate me."

"I'd love to be alone with you."

"You brat really..."

Xuannan's eyes dimmed, and he moved a little closer to Zhezhou, wanting to kiss his face, but afraid of frightening him, he stopped at the close place, with lowered eyelids and a sad expression.

"I am a selfish and awkward person. I once abandoned my brother for you, and now I am in danger for my brother. I don't regret my death. I only hope that my hard work can make you safe."

Not long after leaving the Northland for Shenzhou, there was an anecdote among the people that there was a demon monk wandering around with his illegitimate son. This story spread so far that Xuannan felt that he had misbehavior when he met anyone on the road.

But the more others winked at him, the more flirtatious he was. He looked back and gave him a wink, and soon the rumor changed, saying that the child was clearly born to him, a monstrous monk who was neither male nor female.

There are more inexplicable rumors, which makes it easier for Xuannan to act. There are so many people in China, it is not easy to find a leaf that is deliberately hidden in the woods, but it is easy for the leaf to find the birds singing on the branches.

As he wished, on an ordinary night when he was having tea outside, a man in a black robe came uninvited, sat opposite him very naturally, took a sip from the tea bowl in front of him.

"You still like sweets so much, too much honey is added to the green tea, and the taste is very creamy."

"It's because your taste is too light. I have restrained myself a lot for fear of getting sick."

The man in black raised his hood slightly, saw a face that was exactly the same as his own, and smiled acquainted with him.

After finding the Cangtian River, Xuannan's life seems to start to smooth out.

He followed Cang Tianhe to Tianshui City, and learned of his brother's purpose and original intention in building Tingyu Tower.

"I want to help Fahua-jun, that's all."

XuanNan smiled and pierced the man's stubbornness with one word, "No, you just want to bet on someone who has the strength to fight against Emperor Zun. I know you too well, brother."

A close brother made Cang Tianhe let go of his tense emotions, smiled at him, and shook his head again.

"Perhaps, I am such a person who is unwilling to be caught without a fight. Whether it is naive or childish, I still want to live."

Cang Tianhe took off his black robe, and his body was covered with large and small scars, which made people very worried. Among them, there were scars that had healed long ago, and even new wounds that were still oozing blood. It could be seen that he had not had a good time these days.

Xuannan stained the ointment to treat his injury, every time he touched it, the man's tense body trembled slightly.

He was distressed.

"Brother, are these all made of broken snakes?"

Cang Tianhe didn't deny it, "Don't blame him."

"How can you not blame it! You fused your soul essence to give him life, how could he treat you like this!!"

"Because it's my soul element, I have the same stubbornness as me. Thanks to him, Tingyulou is today. Otherwise, at this moment, I might... linger in Wenrou and become a useless person."

It turned out that when fleeing from Jiuchongtian, Cang Tianhe who wanted to take Broken Snake with him was unexpectedly rejected.

"I used to teach him to be loyal to his master, but I ignored that I had instilled in him the idea that Emperor Zun is the master, so...he recognized Emperor Zun as the master, not me."

Cang Tianhe forced a smile on his face, "At least this means that I have successfully educated him, doesn't it?"

Xuannan held Xiao Zhezhou under his armpit, hugged him into his arms, spittle on his face, seeing Xiao Zhezhou's dislike written all over his face, he didn't wipe it off, Xuannan was complacent.

"This is called successful education." Cang Tianhe looked at the two of them, tangled for a long time, and finally said what had been suppressed in his heart for a long time.

"Ah Cang, there is something I want to entrust to you."

Xuannan was stunned, and suddenly recalled that back then, his father also confessed his last words to him sickly.

"No, I don't want to hear..."

Cang Tianhe grabbed his hand, his body temperature was frighteningly cold.

"Actually, I have a son..."

Cang Tianhe recounted his past and relationship with the Yun brothers, and when Xuannan hadn't accepted this fact, he made a sincere repentance once in his life.

"Frustration or wandering are not the reasons for my mistakes. Obviously I hated my father so much for giving birth to me and abandoned me, but I still did the same bad things as him, even like my father sacrificed you back then. I have been imprisoned for Wuleng's life, and now I am no different from my father..."

Xuannan was speechless.

"I am ashamed of Wuyu, I should not have brought him into the world, and I am even more ashamed of Wuleng, who harmed him because of my own selfishness... I am ashamed of you, I am ashamed of my father, I am ashamed of my ancestors, and I am ashamed of myself... Broken snake."

Cang Tianhe looked at his rough hands, and for a moment, he regretted giving Broken Snake spirituality.

"I shouldn't have let him become a weapon used by Emperor Zun to hurt people. I can't stop it now, Ah Cang... I beg you to give me a chance."

"Me? What chance can I give you? I should beg you not to think about it."

Cang Tianhe coughed in response to the occasion, Xuannan thought it was because he was acting deliberately to convince himself, seeing the crimson blood overflowing from the cracks of the fingers covering his mouth, he was suddenly speechless.

Cang Tianhe said: "Ah Cang, I don't live long. I have few days left. I have to try my best to make up for my past mistakes. This is absurd and ridiculous, but I must... must... Please, help me."

Thinking of the promise he made before his father died, Xuannan hesitated.

He took Cang Tianhe's hand and rejected him cruelly.

"I can't promise anyone anymore. I promised my father, but I failed to take good care of you, and caused you to be involved in Jiuchongtian's conspiracy. I can no longer promise what I can't do."

"It's not your fault. Emperor Zun discovered my existence long before you looked for me. How can you blame me?"

"But I can't forgive myself! If I'm talented enough to take on important tasks, then you don't have to forge the damn sword box!"

A sad look appeared on Xuannan's face, and he was speechless when he wanted to say anything more.

That night, after the servant Cang Tianhe fell asleep, Xuannan sat alone outside the door, recalling everything he had encountered in these years.

A drizzle fell in the night sky at some point. He was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't even notice that he was wet. Suddenly he felt his shoulders sink, and then there was a figure beside him.

He reached out to touch him, a thick coat was draped over his body to shield him from the cold wind and rain, and the little guy with an umbrella and bare feet came to sit beside him uninvited, kicking the water splash, licking the sky river Give him sugar man.

Realizing that he was being noticed, Xiao Zhezhou didn't panic, he handed the sugar figurine to Xuannan's lips.

He can't speak, so he doesn't like to talk, he is not like an ordinary child at all.

Looking at the silent little Zhezhou, Xuannan felt that his young body overlapped with the tall and elegant figure in his impression, so he leaned forward and buried his face in his shoulder.

He held back his crying, choked with sobs, "Zuozhou, brother is dying, I'm... I'm going to lose my last relative."

Xiao Zhezhou looked at him calmly, without speaking for a long time.

Xuan Nan thought, perhaps it was too difficult to ask the child who had forgotten everything to comfort him, and smiled at himself, listening to the immature child's voice.

"You still have me."

He put down the sugar figurine, stretched out his small hand to catch a drop of rainwater, and watched it leak light from between his fingers.

"The drops of water slipping away from the fingertips will definitely leave traces, and when they accumulate, they can be reunited. Maybe they are not the first drop, but at least they can fill the palm."

Looking back, Xiao Zhezhou saw the familiar smile on his childish face, which seemed particularly unfriendly, but it was very reassuring.

"Maybe I'm not the first to enter your world, but at least I can accompany you to the end."

XuanNan took a deep breath and replied tremblingly, "Okay..."

He didn't hold back anymore, and wept quietly in a low voice.

This was the only time he cried after reuniting with his elder brother. Xiao Zhezhou held his face, wiped away the tears that melted with the rain, and kissed his forehead.

Xuannan never thought that one day he would be comforted by a brat.

But the little boy didn't understand anything, so he quickly pushed him out, slapped his bare feet on the stagnant water, walked to the front of the court, and pointed at the person hiding in the dark.

"Come out, you have been peeping for a long time."

There was a sneer from the corner, and a person appeared with a sword in his hand, it was Broken Snake.

A reunion in this situation is obviously not something to look forward to.

Xuannan tensed his nerves, and made up his mind that as long as he breaks the snake and takes a step forward, he will die with everyone.

But this time the other party was not hostile, knowing that he didn't want to let me see that person and he didn't force it, so he just asked, "What's wrong with him."

"I'm seriously ill and dragged down by injuries, what do you think?"

"That's it... that's all, even if he thinks about it, he doesn't want to see me, so I'll go now."

The strange attitude made Xuannan suspicious, and before Broken Snake left, he asked, "Why did you hurt him? Why did you betray him!"

"I don't want to either. But when one of us starts to change, there must always be one person who stays where he is and protects the other person's heart. Unfortunately, that person is me."

"Are you going to kill him for such a ridiculous and ridiculous reason? He gave you your life!!"

Broken Snake looked back, with a hint of helplessness on his expressionless face.

"It's true that he gave me my life, so my reward is to give him hope. If Emperor Zun doesn't ask, I won't mention that I met you, so I can do it myself."

He never expected that it was his advice to be good at himself, XuanNan was so angry that he laughed back.

In the next few days, he stayed with Cang Tianhe to attend to the illness, and it hurt to see him arranging to listen to the affairs of Yulou regardless of day and night.But when he thought that the man was arranging the funeral, he felt so sad that he couldn't express it, so he could only pretend to wait outside the door when the man was lighting the lamp and cooking oil. When it was late, he coughed once or twice to remind the man to rest early.

After the lights were turned off, when he went out to wander around, the lights in the room were switched on again at some point.

He ordered Xiao Zhezhou to steal the candlesticks and lamp oil from Cang Tianhe's room, but it didn't take long to find that man standing by the window, eating the wind and looking at the pile of letters under the hazy moonlight. No wonder the cough has not relieved these days , but there are signs of aggravation.

There was nothing he could do about it, so he had no choice but to fulfill the man's wish, arrange everything he wanted, and completely let go of it.

Zhezhou is still young, but even a yellow-haired kid who just took off his crotch pants would laugh at him: "He is such a big man, even my brother can't control him!"

This was heard by Cang Tianhe, and he sent Xuannan away from Tianshui City the next day.

"Zhezhou is still young, and there are not many days to go down the mountain. He will return to Lingxue Palace to practice soon. Take him out for a walk, listen to anecdotes and see the wonders, and don't let his few happy days be wasted in boring listening. Yulou, isn't that too pitiful?"

Xuan Nan could hear that he was pushing himself away, and guessed that he might have thought about it, so he nodded in agreement, and quickly left Tingyu Building with Xiao Zhezhou.

He traveled with him all over the world, saw many magnificent scenery, and also experienced the warmth and coldness of human relationships.

One day while sitting in the old street having tea, Xuannan just put the refreshments on a small boat tray when he heard the discussions at the neighboring table.

"Hey, have you heard that the imperial swordsmith of Emperor Zun of the Nine Heavens is dead!"

"The one who ran away before? Hey! Emperor Zun gave him rich clothes and food, and let him enjoy the glory and wealth. He doesn't know how to be grateful and wants to run away. If he doesn't kill him, who will he kill!"

"That's the reasoning, but his way of death was too tragic. The knife pierced his hands and hung there, and he was cut on the neck. He died only after bleeding. Tsk tsk, Emperor Zun's methods are really ruthless .The swordsmith was killed by the sword spirit he created, so he deserved his reincarnation, and it is a story that has been passed down."

XuanNan slapped the table with his palm, turned around and wanted to ask more questions.

There was a burst of dizziness before his eyes, and the dull pain in his chest almost made him suffocate.

He lost strength and fell to the ground, the last scene he saw was Xiao Zhezhou yelling something and rushing forward.

It's a pity that his ears were buzzing, and he didn't listen to a word.

The author has something to say: The saddest thing in Xuannan's life is that he lived too long, and everyone around him left him.Thinking about it this way, the longevity that the world envies is not good. If the price is eternal life and loneliness, how many people will still be obsessed with longevity?
