[Cultivation] Qingpingle
Chapter 2
Xia Yu finally did not agree to take Xia Yan to the mortal world.
The world of cultivating immortals uses the same calendar as the world of mortals, but ten years is enough time for mortals to change the world.
The last time I took Xia Yan to the mortal world was many years ago—as Xia Yan’s first reward at last—in Yancao’s eyes, only the mortal world is peaceful with singing and dancing, and it is a prosperous and prosperous age.
A few years have passed, and the mortal world is no longer what it used to be.The flames of war ignited from the border to the capital, and the king left the city in a hurry, leaving only the veterans to sigh and the soldiers to cry.
Xia Yan pursed her mouth again: "Then, master..."
Xia Yu stood up holding the child transformed from the burning grass, and the two of them pressed their foreheads together, and said, "I will carry you along the way, and I have to walk by myself when I come back." After a pause, he added: "It's no use acting like a baby."
Xia Yan nodded heavily.
Xia Yu seemed helpless: "How can other children be like you."
Xia Yan said with a smile: "Because they don't have someone as good as the master to accompany them."
Xia Yu pinched the tip of his nose: "Why are you being so obedient again?"
Xia Yan replied: "Because you are the master."
The purpose of going to Changluo City from the cultivation cave this time is to pick up some things.Xia Yu has no shortage of magic weapons to use for transportation, but after all, this trip is not urgent, so he didn't use the magic weapon.
In the world of cultivating immortals, others are often obsessed with cultivation, and those who are not good also worry about trivial matters of the sect.Xia Yu is completely absent-minded, besides teaching Xia Yan, most of the time is often wasted for nothing.
And Xia Yan didn't notice anything wrong with it.
The distance from Dongtian to Changluo City is not far, but it still takes a lot of time to walk.Xia Yan soon began to feel uneasy after a short period of joy, and asked in a low voice coyly: "Master, don't you want to use the sword?"
He was worried that his master would feel tired, and he felt a little guilty about his waywardness.
Xia Yu asked back: "Is it good to hurry to Changluo City?"
Xia Yan bit her lower lip, not knowing what to say.
Xia Yu rubbed his hair: "I will also teach you how to control the sword when you go back?"
Xia Yan's eyes lit up first.But he grabbed Xia Yu's clothes, and after thinking for a long time, he finally shook his head: "Xiao Yan wants to be with the master."
Xia Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I still have to learn, what should I do when I'm not here?"
Xia Yan: "...Why is the master not here?"
Xia Yu didn't know how to answer this question for a moment.
He has almost never been in contact with demon cultivators, let alone grasses and trees becoming spirits, how long Xia Yan can live is unknown to him.But in any case, it will never be older than his age.
As for the separation of life and death?
Xia Yu's eyes darkened, but there was still that gentle smile on her face: "I was wrong, I won't be here."
Xia Yan continued to ask: "Xiao Yan will not leave Master! So... Master, we will not separate, right?"
Xia Yu looked at the other party's stubborn eyes, just smiled and didn't answer.
No matter how long the road is, it will come to an end.Xia Yan got down from Xia Yu's arms, and for a moment couldn't tell whether she was more relaxed or thankful.
He reached out and pulled the master's sleeve forward.
The excitement in Changluo City was as usual.Xia Yu bought all the elixir and fairy wine she needed, and turned to Xia Yan, "Is there anything you want?"
Xia Yan pointed at the elixir in the store, and looked at Xia Yu eagerly: "Master bought this before."
Xia Yu: "Huh?"
He looked in the direction Xia Yan pointed, and the little medicine bottle did look familiar.If you look closely, it is the Wuling Pill that Xia Yan took for a while a few years ago when he was just in shape.
Wuling Pill is a pill commonly used by low-level cultivators to assist in their cultivation.At that time, Xia Yu was worried that Xia Yan's body would not be able to withstand the properties of the medicine, so she chose the mildest flavor.Later, step by step, after using a better elixir, the Wuling elixir was put aside.
Xia Yu asked, "Why did you think of buying this?"
As soon as he said it, he felt a little regretful, especially the look in Xia Yan's eyes... that was definitely not the answer he wanted to hear.
Sure enough, Xia Yan clapped her hands and said joyfully, "I remember this one is sweet!"
Xia Yu choked.Going to look at the shopkeeper in the shop, he also has a look of uncontrollable laughter.
He sighed and patted Xia Yan's head: "That's it?"
Xia Yan's eyes lit up: "Master agreed?"
Xia Yu paused, wanting to say something more, but finally swallowed it down.
He turned his head and nodded to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper packed several bottles of pills very neatly, and when he handed them to Xia Yu, he said with emotion: "...I thought this belonged to the young master."
Xia Yu said "No".He also knew that the relationship between himself and Xia Yan must be very strange to outsiders. Xia Yan called him master, but he was not ambiguous in being obedient, and all kinds of intimate behaviors were definitely not like that of a master and servant.
The shopkeeper lowered his voice, and then asked: "I see the aura of fire and wood on his body, but it is quite different from the people I have seen before..."
Xia Yu smiled: "He is my spiritual pet."
The shopkeeper said: "That is really its blessing."
Xia Yu took a bottle of Wuling Pill and handed it to Xia Yan, and replied, "Who says it's not."
He asked himself, and often felt that meeting Xia Yan was the luckiest thing he had done in the past ten years.There is no need to tell outsiders about such feelings, even in front of Xia Yan, he never reveals it.
Although Xia Yan has transformed into form now, her mind has not matured yet.
Fortunately, he has plenty of time.
The two of them still walked leisurely on the way back to Dongtian outside the city.After Xia Yan got the jelly beans, she followed Xia Yu obediently, which reassured Xia Yu, who had been faintly worried that Xia Yan would act coquettishly and want to hug her on the way home.
A bit of inexplicable emotion that was grown up after all welled up in my heart.
Xia Yan didn't think too much, she just wanted to make up for her image when she came here with a little guilt.He pulled Xia Yu's sleeve and walked forward step by step, his steps were brisk.
It's a pity that after walking a few more steps, he changed into a mournful face again: "Master, I seem to..."
Before the words fell, it had uncontrollably turned back into the flaming grass again.
Xia Yu raised her brows slightly, and bent down to pick up the bottle of Wuling Pill that was in Xia Yan's hand and fell to the ground at this moment.
The flaming grass had spontaneously wrapped itself around his hand, and the slender branches slid along the cuff all the way to the inside, and then wrapped around his forearm.
What he hadn't finished just now was recalled in Xia Yu's mind at this moment, and his voice was clear, with a bit of regret: "Master, the time for this transformation is not as long as the previous one."
Xia Yu replied, "No problem."
After thinking for a while, Xia Yu felt that since Xia Yan had returned to her original form, it would be better to return to the cultivation cave as soon as possible.As soon as his mind turned to this place, Yancao had noticed that Xia Yan's joy was unreservedly displayed in his heart, and he asked with a question: "Master, are you going to use the sword?"
Xia Yu responded casually, and laid out formations around her to hide her whereabouts, and then sacrificed the flying sword.
Xia Yan: "...Unfortunately, I can't see it."
Xia Yu comforted Yancao: "Will you be with me next time?"
Xia Yan rejoiced, the shaking leaves brushed against Xia Yu's arms, bringing out a numb itching.
Xia Yu couldn't help but think, wait a few years for the world to be peaceful, then take him to have a look.
This wait is another few decades.
After Xia Yan transformed into a young man, his stature was only a head lower than Xia Yu's.Yancao had lost interest in the Wuling Pill long ago, and practiced diligently every day, making rapid progress.It's just that occasionally I stare at a place in a daze, as if hiding something on my mind.
Xia Yu once teased him: "Grow up? Have a crush?"
Xia Yan turned her head and said nothing.
And Xia Yu just said something plainly.After decades, the two of them were the only ones in the cave to get along with each other day and night, even if they went down the mountain, they would not stay for too long, and the number of girls who had dealt with Xia Yan could be counted on one hand.He won't interfere with Yancao's work, but he can tell a thing or two whether he wants to do something or not.
What Xia Yu was thinking was another matter.
No matter how big the rented cave is, I've grown tired of seeing it for many years. Gradually, Xia Yu wanted to move out.
After all, it was only a rented place, so it was really hard for Xia Yu to feel like "home" for this place.Xia Yan is not the case, at least it seems so, besides his daily practice, he is just teasing the spirit beasts scurrying in the forest, which is a great joy.
Before thinking about how to bring up the topic of moving away, Xia Yu asked Xia Yan: "Do you still want to go to the Mortal Realm?"
Xia Yan, who was transforming into a prototype and playing with spirit beasts: "...I want to!"
Xia Yu was helpless: "How old are you? Why are you here all day..."
The branches and tendrils of the burning grass hooked on the shoulders of their masters, and the leaves at the top rubbed against Xia Yu's cheeks, followed by a voice from the bottom of his heart.
"Master, you told me earlier that the mortal emperor abandoned the city and fled, and then re-emerged in another place... um, the superior? Is it still his family who is the emperor now?"
Xia Yu tugged at her own itchy leaves, and laughed, "Why do you ask this?"
Xia Yan returned to her youthful appearance, hugged her master from behind, and buried her head in the other's neck: "Curious. Master, you said earlier that that person is not suitable to be an emperor, why is it still his family?"
Xia Yu raised her hand to rub Xia Yan's hair, and explained in the most plain language: "He is not suitable, but his grandson is suitable... If he does not continue to be emperor, his grandson will not be born."
Xia Yan: "..." I didn't understand.
Xia Yu: "Where is the destiny, how can mortals change it? Let alone these things, after all, you will not see the emperor even if you go to the mortal world."
Xia Yan blurted out: "Why?"
Xia Yu replied, "You don't know the way."
Yancao, who practiced diligently, obviously lacked common sense, and didn't realize how much the master's words were worth thinking about.
Instead, he choked on the master's last sentence, and said reluctantly, "Why did the master say that?"
Xia Yu laughed, thinking that her spiritual pet is really interesting and cute.
In Xia Yu's impression, going to the mortal realm includes many things.
Aside from what he didn't want to think about, walking in the streets and alleys is a normal thing.
In addition, it is to search for the legends of ghosts and monsters in the past hundred years, listen to the stories of immortals in ordinary people, and then look at the achievements of human beings in recent years.
But Xia Yan is obviously not interested in this.
Xia Yu had no choice but to stay in the south of the Yangtze River, and said to Xia Yan: "The worst thing is to go and see the singing boats and painting boats on the lake."
His original intention was to listen to a few mortal tunes that he hadn't heard for a long time, but he followed Xia Yan into the Jianglou Chu Pavilion for no reason.
The cause of the incident was simply that Xia Yu had been standing by a lake for too long, Xia Yan was able to have fun by herself at first, but after a long time it became rather boring.
He glanced at the painting boat slowly swinging by on the lake.Farther away, there are willows on the opposite bank, fluttering slightly in the wind, as if dyed with bright green mist.
Mandarin ducks cross their necks, and egrets frighten the water.
The soft singing voice came from the boat, and the expressions of the scholars on the shore were fascinated.
Xia Yan: "..."
He really couldn't understand why even the master was so concerned about those things.
This is Mortal Realm?
Looking far away, Xia Yan recalled the time when she came to the mortal world when she was young, and her mood was complicated.
What is it that he should never forget?
Xia Yan pursed her mouth, the habit of her childhood has been retained to this day, but fortunately, such an expression does not feel disobedient when it appears on the boy's face.
He turned his gaze to Xia Yu, at first he was just in a daze, but after looking at it, he vaguely felt that something was wrong.
... The master is not concentrating on looking at the painting?It seems to be in a daze, the focus of the eyes is scattered.
After discovering this, Xia Yan rubbed against Xia Yu with peace of mind, and asked, "Master, I want to go around, can I?"
Xia Yu blinked, regained her senses, and said softly, "I didn't pay attention. Where does Xiaoyan want to go?"
Xia Yan pointed in a random direction, and Xia Yu complied, but didn't really look at what the other party was pointing at.It wasn't until he stopped walking that he realized that there were already Chu pavilions everywhere beside the two of them.
Xia Yu raised her brows, and was about to say, let's change places, when Mr. Gui came forward to say hello.After a long compliment, Xia Yan's curiosity was full, and she looked at Xia Yu with a little more eagerness.
Xia Yu: "..." It's fine if you don't say the refusal, there is an unknown person next to him who is eager to try.
Xia Yu simply and neatly pasted a talisman on Xia Yan's body, and she also disappeared.Gui`gong looked at the suddenly empty front and was about to scream, when a chaos suddenly appeared in his mind.When he came back to his senses, he muttered in his mouth: "Why did you leave, bad luck."
Xia Yan: "Master?"
Xia Yu has a headache.
Xu is that Xia Yan was trapped in the cultivation cave for too long when he was cultivating immortals, and he still doesn't know much about personnel.Xia Yu reflected on herself, thinking that it would not work if this continued.
Although I'm afraid I won't meet the second Flame Grass creature, Xia Yan will still meet his sweetheart one day.
Xia Yu was stunned for a moment, probably that day would be the time when she and Xia Yan parted.
Xia Yan turned to look at Gui`gong, who went to greet other guests, and then turned to look at Xia Yu, with a somewhat disappointed tone: "Can't you go in?"
Xia Yu could almost see the drooping leaves of the flame grass.
He coughed lightly, and replied: "Yes. Just go in like this, don't get involved with mortals, just take a look."
After that, the two of them sat on the beam together, listening to the sound of Xisuo coming from below.
In the air, the smell of rouge and wine mixed together, creating an indescribably ambiguous atmosphere.
The woman's voice of persuasion quickly turned into a coquettish smile, and it seemed that she wanted to refuse with a few words of "don't want to".
Xia Yan watched very intently, but she didn't know why, so she asked doubtfully, "Master, is it comfortable to do this kind of thing?"
Xia Yu thought for a while and replied, "It is supposed to be comfortable if someone does it together."
Xia Yan was gearing up, her eyes were full of joy: "Can I try?"
Xia Yu glanced at him, and suddenly remembered whether her behavior was teaching bad children.He reflected for a moment, without moving his expression, and only said: "No."
Xia Yan turned her head in disappointment, her legs were dangling in the air, and unwillingly turned into burning grass and entangled Xia Yu.Xia Yu let him make a fuss, leaned against the beam and did not speak from the beginning to the end.
The noise below became louder, and gradually there was a viscous sound of water.At first, Xia Yu just controlled her breathing, but she finally couldn't help it and said, "You don't want to watch it? Let's go."
Xia Yan: "Hmm..."
Xia Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
He overestimated his strength too much.
But I was still puzzled.It has only been five or sixty years since I met Xia Yan, no matter how much my concentration is worn down, it will not be nearly exhausted after such a long time.
Coming out of Chuguan Lane, Xia Yu hesitated for a moment, and asked silently in her heart: "Do you want to stay any longer?"
After all, Xia Yan couldn't speak when she was in the form of burning grass.
The Flame Grass shook the leaves, more and more aware of the troubled thoughts in the master's heart, and what he saw just now was extremely boring, it might not be as interesting as frolicking with the spirit beasts in the cave, so he replied: "No more."
The corners of Xia Yu's lips curled up a little, she stretched out a hand, and lightly touched the twigs wrapped around her body with her fingertips: "Let's transform, Xiaoyan."
The flaming grass shook its leaves again, reluctantly retreated from Xia Yu's body, and turned into a young man.
Xia Yu held his hand, opened the whole body formation, sacrificed the flying sword, and walked against the wind, thousands of miles in an instant.
At the intersection of the Immortal Cultivation Realm and the Ordinary Realm, Xia Yu inadvertently turned her head away, just in time to see Xia Yan's focused gaze on her.
The young man's eyes were mixed with verdant green and red-orange flames, and the childishness of his childhood had faded from his face, but he was still so pure and flawless.
Xia Yu was startled, then sighed secretly.
After returning to the world of cultivating Taoism and cultivating immortals, everything seems to be the same as before.Xia Yan plays between the mountains and fields, breathing in the essence of the world, the deeper the cultivation base.Seeing his appearance, Xia Yu didn't mention moving out of Changluo for a while.
He had another problem on his mind.
In the Chu Pavilion, he had a desire.When I thought about it, I was forcibly suppressed. Afterwards, Xia Yu felt a little bit on fire.
Okay, what are you going to do in that kind of place?
He should have sternly refused when Xia Yan proposed to go in.
Xia Yu doesn't think she is a saint, but she doesn't want to deal with the slightest emotion casually.What's more, looking at the world at this time, there is still no one who can make him put his heart into it.
And he wouldn't let it go.
Xia Yu rubbed her forehead.There is still time before a hundred years, so why is he so at a loss.
But after all helpless.Xia Yu had no choice but to focus more on cultivation, so as to teach herself not to always think about something.
Xia Yan: "...Master has been acting strange recently."
The flaming grass takes root in the soil where the flaming energy is most plentiful, and the vines stretch out and spread out under boredom, as if sweeping the entire cave.He and Xia Yu were in the same mind, and he easily found the master who was meditating in another place.The newly born branches and leaves swayed in front of Xia Yu's eyes, and Xia Yan's spiritual consciousness also penetrated into the depths of the master's heart.
After confirming that the owner has indeed entered the state of selflessness, Yancao couldn't help but move the branches and leaves closer.Almost all of Xia Yan's consciousness was concentrated in one place, enveloping Xia Yu.
Since returning from Mortal Realm, scenes that Xia Yan thought she didn't care about often appeared in her dreams.The entangled body in the vast mist, the hazy whisper... At first, Xia Yan thought that this kind of thing happened because of her deep resentment, until one day, the fog cleared away.
He saw the eyes of the owner whose hair crown was removed and the hair was scattered were rippling, the tip of the eyes was bright red, and he was calling his name.
Then he woke up.
Fortunately, he fell asleep in the form of the burning grass, so there would be no traces of it.After rejoicing, Xia Yan began to think about everything in the dream again, and then compared the picture with the master in front of him.
In the past hundred years, he has only seen the appearance of the master taking off the hair crown a few times, and he has never even thought about anything else.
The thin branch paused in the air, hesitated for a long time, and finally made a move.
At this moment, Xia Yu opened his eyes.
Xia Yan: "...!"
The burning grass stretching all over the ground was immediately taken back to the place where it took root.With lingering fears in her heart, Xia Yan began to exercise her skills and pretended to be dead.
On the other side, Xia Yu suddenly stood up.
"Xiao Yan?"
"..." Playing dead.
"I……"
"..." Playing dead.
"...go down the mountain to do something important, you stay here and wait for me."
"..." Playing dead...Huh?
Xia Yu thought about it, and added worriedly: "It may take a long time to go here, if I don't come back for a long time, you don't have to worry about it."
Xia Yan couldn't stay still anymore, she hastily transformed into a fairy formula, and appeared next to Xia Yu: "I'm with the master!"
But the person who has always been responsive to his requests is categorical: "No."
Xia Yan opened his mouth, eyes filled with disbelief.For a moment, it was like a loss of speech.
Seeing his appearance, Xia Yu couldn't help softening her attitude, and said softly, "I know you are worried, but this trip is a long way away. Well, I have to do it alone."
Xia Yan opened her eyes wide, without saying a word, just staring at Xia Yu.
Xia Yu was silent for a while, as if she still wanted to say something, but the tip of her eyebrows suddenly frowned.
Xia Yan: "Master?"
Xia Yu let out a breath and looked away from the other party: "I'm sorry. Wait for me to come back."
Xia Yan watched helplessly as the other party disappeared in front of her eyes.
Standing in the cave, he looked around in a daze, the vegetation in the world was no different from the past.There is a wind blowing, bringing the sound of distant spirit beasts playing.
But I can no longer find the person who has been with me for so many years.
Xia Yu made up her mind to use the teleportation technique in front of Xia Yan, forcing the other party to be unable to track him down.After getting away, he stood in the air, looking back at the direction of the cultivation cave, his eyes dim.
After that, Xia Yu found the right direction and moved forward all the way until the place where the mysterious ice condensed to the north of the world of cultivating immortals.Xia Yu finally felt a little more comfortable with the severe cold all over her body. With her mind relaxed, she couldn't help but wonder why she was so restless in less than a hundred years.
Because Xia Yan is a burning grass?
After a while, Xia Yu reluctantly came to a conclusion.If he was tortured like this after watching a play in the Mortal Realm... Xia Yu herself would not believe it.
It's a pity that I couldn't see Xia Yan for a year.He is used to Xia Yan acting like a baby to him, coupled with years of companionship, his feelings are behind him.
Fortunately, with that drop of heart blood as a guide, no matter where Xia Yan is, he will always know.
With this in mind, Xia Yu immersed herself in the millennium cold pool inside the Xuanbing, holding her breath.
In the sky above the cold pool, thick black clouds had gathered at some point.The clouds rolled, the wind howled, and the lightning flashed and thundered.
Changluo City.
After Xia Yu left, Xia Yan only stayed in the cultivation cave for more than a month before going down the mountain.He couldn't tell what kind of feeling it was like, as if his whole body was empty, and it was fine if he couldn't lift his energy to practice breathing, and even playing with spirit beasts was very boring.
After the initial bewilderment passed, Xia Yan subconsciously remembered the master's words.
Wait for him to come back.
...But how long will we have to wait!
The master said that it took him a long time to go out this time, Xia Yan thought for a long time but couldn't figure out how long it was.He only knows that the person he faces day and night has left him, and the return date is uncertain.
It took only a few days to go from bewildered to wronged.After going down the mountain, he traveled to Changluo City every day, and later he simply rented a small yard in the city, and went to see the sights in the city every day, preferably to hear the news from afar.
But he never dared to leave too far, for fear that the master would not find him when he came back.
What is it that can separate the master from him?
The shopkeeper who bought Wuling Dan when he was young was still the same person. Seeing Xia Yan wandering around every day, he finally couldn't help calling him into the shop and asked, "Where's your master?"
Xia Yan replied, "Going out to do some errands."
From the shopkeeper's point of view, it is very normal for the master to be separated from the spiritual pet. What's more, he has never seen this pair of master pets separated in decades.It's not supposed to be his business, but...
The shopkeeper cleared his throat and was about to speak when he heard the person who bought the pill say: "I heard that the last time the vision in the north appeared was in Jimo City 58 years ago."
Xia Yan was startled, and his pupils shrank suddenly.
Isn't Jimo City 58 years ago the place where he met his master for the first time?
The shopkeeper said to Xia Yan to wait a moment, and then went up to check out with the person who bought the pill, and exchanged a few pleasantries during the period, and the topic was naturally the vision of the north.Xia Yan stood aside and listened to every word.
Finally, he closed his eyes.
Make no mistake, the start time this time is the time when the master left.Even if it was a coincidence, he also wanted to see what happened.
With such thoughts in mind, Xia Yan left Changluo alone for the first time.He has the storage bag left by Xia Yu on him, and the spirit stones in it are enough for his daily expenses.Yueyu's life in the city also made him feel a little bit sinister, and he knew the truth of not revealing his wealth, so he planned to go on his own after some calculations.
He has learned [-]% of the art of controlling the sword, the only pity is that he has not yet had a good flying sword to accompany him, so the speed is naturally not fast.
But that's not the most disturbing thing.
All the way to the north, the temperature around the body gradually dropped, the soil suitable for the fire grass to take root was too scarce, and the fire air was sparse.Xia Yan clearly felt that his body was rapidly weakening, and his current cultivation base was not enough for him to walk freely in the world of cultivating immortals like a cultivator.
It's so cold here, what about the places to the north?
Yancao pulled out the rhizome from the soil that took root overnight, and set out on the road again.
Fortunately, although this journey was difficult, at last there was no right and wrong.
Xia Yan controls the time he travels. When the weather is too cold to go on the road, he often finds a place to practice.After all, it is a flaming grass, and Xia Yan quickly learned how to turn her own flaming energy into a protective shield to surround her body.
Before he knew it, he had spent half a year on the road.
Xia Yan learned too many things from the experience of working alone.The childishness on his face gradually faded away, replaced by a mature and dignified one that was completely different from the boy's appearance.
Occasionally, he would also think that the master really protected himself too well.
What Xia Yan didn't expect was that even though she was so careful, she still got into trouble.
... It should be said that it is troublesome to mess with him.
There is still a long way to go to the legendary north, but Xia Yan has to change the itinerary to a day of practice and a day of travel because of her health.
In the past few months, he has also gotten used to spending the night in the fairy city.There are so many people coming and going in the inn in the city, they want to go to an ordinary house, eat the food of ordinary cultivators, and then use the magic weapon given by the master to hide their own smell of burning grass - there are too many such people, no one Will notice him.
But one night, Xia Yan couldn't fall asleep for no reason.There was a strange smell floating in the air, not bad to say the least, but it still made him feel uncomfortable.
Soon, Xia Yan realized what was causing the discomfort.
□□ Quiet.
He couldn't hear the voice of any immortal cultivator.
After figuring this out, Xia Yan shivered, her body had already reacted before she realized it.With a fingertip pinching a magic trick, his figure disappeared in the air.
Xia Yan was a little hesitant, did he meet someone who wanted to rob money?But I don't know how far the smell has traveled, and who is it, who is so confident.
His divine sense flicked across a small grass on the street outside the window.
A flute sounded suddenly, and after that, people on the whole street started to move.
Xia Yan drew her original shape, rooted on the side of the street, looked at many people, and walked towards the direction of the sound of the flute with empty eyes.
He felt cold all over his body, and he couldn't wait to go north just waiting for the dawn.
Xia Yan thought of the rumors she heard along the way.There are demon cultivators in the north, who feed on the bones and blood of immortal cultivators.Devour his flesh and blood, refining his cultivation.
Such magic repairs don't appear often.But as soon as he shows up, there will be a city of immortal cultivators who will become food for the demon cultivators.
But before he had gone far, someone caught up with him from behind.The person who came was a woman with a pretty face, with cinnabar embellishments between her eyebrows, and bright red Koudan on the tips of her ten fingers, which was very gorgeous.
The other party looked at him carefully, and giggled coquettishly: "I said, how can someone run away with a dark fragrance on their body... So it's not a person, but a grass."
There was too much difference in cultivation, Xia Yan was completely suppressed, and couldn't even open her mouth to speak.
Thousands of miles away, in the cold pool.
Xia Yu suddenly opened his eyes.
The woman seemed distressed, looked at her shiny fingertips, and said with a bit of grievance in her tone: "But I can't eat grass, what do you think should I do? Could it be that the dark fragrance was wasted?"
Then, she clapped her hands together: "I thought of it! I'll capture you and make you into a puppet!"
With vicious words in her mouth, the woman still had a smile on her face.She raised her eyebrows, and in the blink of an eye, she had come to Xia Yan's side, and reached out to grab Xia Yan's heart——
"stop!"
The air suddenly fluctuated!
Moxiu was shocked, his eyes were full of disbelief.
Xia Yan exhaled in surprise: "Master?!"
Xia Yu glanced at him, then turned her head to look at Moxiu in front of her.With just one glance, Moxiu felt as if he was being strangled by the throat.
Being under the control of others is not easy, the longer the confrontation lasts, the more panicked Moxiu feels.It had been a long time since she had met an opponent like this, who suppressed her to this point without even using a magic weapon.
Moxiu wanted to escape, but the previous confrontation had consumed too much of her energy.
Looking at the man who appeared in front of him at that instant, the other party still seemed to be able to do a job with ease.
Moxiu had no choice but to beg for mercy.All the things she did before, in her opinion, were only due to the ruthlessness of the Dao, and if the strength is not as good as others, she should be prepared to be slaughtered.But he didn't expect that one day, the person who was slaughtered would become himself.
Xia Yu looked at the flattering woman in front of her, and really didn't have the patience to waste time with her.Without the suppression of the cold pool, a burning sensation quickly appeared on his body, and beside him was Xia Yan, who was naturally fire...
With a pale face, without saying a word, he ordered the killer.
Moxiu's stay in this world will only continue to harm people.Looking at the inexhaustible blood lingering around this woman, one can tell how many people have died under her hands.
Being killed at this moment does not count as wronging her.
Seeing Xia Yu like this, the woman felt very resentful in her heart.Too many words overflowed his throat, but the man couldn't even listen to the words of begging for mercy, and the rest were even more in vain.
But she is really not reconciled.
Before dissipating into the world, she exhausted her last strength and threw a drop of blood stained with demonic energy towards Xia Yan.
Xia Yan couldn't dodge in time, and Xia Yu didn't expect the woman to have such strength left.When the two of them reacted, the drop of blood had already stuck to Xia Yan's eyes.
The strong devilish energy can often melt the internal organs of a cultivator.However, immortal cultivators often have the true energy to protect the body, and no matter how bad it is, they also have elixir to make up for it.
What I'm afraid of is being drawn out by my demons.
Xia Yu quickly helped Xia Yan clean up the demonic qi that was infected, and looked at the hot grass that had not been seen for several months, it seemed to have grown a bit, but her stature was still so tall.
He didn't even bother to look carefully.
Before concentrating on doing things, the hot and unbearable feeling was barely tolerable.Now that he's relaxed, he feels so uncomfortable that he almost wants to push down the hot grass of the youthful appearance in front of him and do Dunlun's things.
However, Yancao still acted like a baby to him without realizing it, buried her head on his shoulder, and continued to talk about her longing for the months of goodbye.
Xia Yu is not worried that Yancao will give birth to demons, after all, the growth environment is too simple, and she rarely sees anyone except herself.
But after thinking about it, Xia Yan has been away from home for the past few months.
He rubbed Xia Yan's hair, and taught her to raise her head and look at him.
The eyes of Yancao are still green and green mixed with red-orange flames, just like before.
Xia Yu felt relieved.
In this way, it was delayed for some time.
Xia Yu wanted to bid farewell to Xia Yan, but Xia Yan refused to say anything, and just looked at him eagerly while pulling his sleeves.
What else did he say: "Why is the master so cold? It must be very uncomfortable to stay in that kind of place... Has the master gone to the extreme north?"
Xia Yu also felt a little guilty about her hasty departure earlier, so she had to slow down her tone and answer, "Yes, how did Xiaoyan know?"
He was also quite curious about the reason why Xia Yan went out this time.
Xia Yan looked at the master in front of him, his clothes seemed to be soaked, sticking to his body, and there was still ice in his hair.
The nature of Yancao is close to light and heat, and there is only one person who can make him walk towards the ice without hesitation.
Xia Yan replied: "I heard people in Changluo City that the last time there was a strange sound in the extreme north was in Jimo City." He paused and added: "58 years ago."
Xia Yu understood.
Xia Yan: "Where is the master? Can you tell me why this happened?"
Xia Yu already breathed a sigh of relief, suppressing the instinct that was about to move under her skin, and slowly replied: "I never told you..."
Xia Yan held her breath and listened carefully.
"I am not a human being, let alone belong to this world of cultivating immortals..."
"...I am a thing from the upper realm and the lower realm. I met with mortals in private and gave birth to a different kind."
"The bloodline of the thing in the upper world was neutralized by mortals, but it was still a thousand times stronger than mortals."
"Once in a hundred years, my love period."
Xia Yan's first reaction was actually: "But it's only 58 years?"
Xia Yu smiled: "I don't quite understand. Maybe it's because I met you?"
Xia Yan blinked her eyes, not understanding.
But I still remembered the beautiful images that floated in my mind when I was in Changluo Cave.
When thinking about it this time, the picture became clearer and filled my heart, and it almost became some kind of obsession.
The two figured it out, and Xia Yu quickly accepted this obsession.His complexion changed, and he fixedly looked at Xia Yan.
Xia Yan has already opened his mouth and asked: "Then, can I?"
Xia Yu thought, did the drop of blood still affect Xia Yan?It can distort Xia Yan's dependence on him since childhood into this.
He said this sentence with emotion, then carefully looked at the young man in front of him, and said, yes.
...If that person is Xia Yan.
Coupled with the clearest enthusiasm and persistence emanating from the divine consciousness.
Xia Yu felt that it was indeed possible.
Xia Yu and Xia Yan arrived at a hot place in a few moments.Xia Yan's spiritual veins were nourished, and the only comfort he had for a long time made him unable to bear it. He transformed into his original form and stretched the branches and leaves, leaving a trunk, and he became a boy again.
"Cultivation has improved a lot." Xia Yu commented.
Xia Yan was a little embarrassed.Previously, he was held down by the demon cultivator and had no power to fight back, but the master cleaned him up in the blink of an eye, and even cleared the demonic energy in his body.
Sure enough, it was still far away.
Xia Yu just said something casually.Here, he doesn't have to worry about Xia Yan's body, nor does he have to worry about his love period.
Then you should be good and do what you have to do.
He pinched Xia Yan's jaw, his eyebrows and eyes curved softly, and what he said was: "Have you thought about it? After this time, I will never let you go again... One day, when I die, I will also drag you down to Huangquan together."
Xia Yu never cared about the so-called Gangchang ethics, and there were not many people in the world of cultivating immortals.
The world of cultivating immortals uses the same calendar as the world of mortals, but ten years is enough time for mortals to change the world.
The last time I took Xia Yan to the mortal world was many years ago—as Xia Yan’s first reward at last—in Yancao’s eyes, only the mortal world is peaceful with singing and dancing, and it is a prosperous and prosperous age.
A few years have passed, and the mortal world is no longer what it used to be.The flames of war ignited from the border to the capital, and the king left the city in a hurry, leaving only the veterans to sigh and the soldiers to cry.
Xia Yan pursed her mouth again: "Then, master..."
Xia Yu stood up holding the child transformed from the burning grass, and the two of them pressed their foreheads together, and said, "I will carry you along the way, and I have to walk by myself when I come back." After a pause, he added: "It's no use acting like a baby."
Xia Yan nodded heavily.
Xia Yu seemed helpless: "How can other children be like you."
Xia Yan said with a smile: "Because they don't have someone as good as the master to accompany them."
Xia Yu pinched the tip of his nose: "Why are you being so obedient again?"
Xia Yan replied: "Because you are the master."
The purpose of going to Changluo City from the cultivation cave this time is to pick up some things.Xia Yu has no shortage of magic weapons to use for transportation, but after all, this trip is not urgent, so he didn't use the magic weapon.
In the world of cultivating immortals, others are often obsessed with cultivation, and those who are not good also worry about trivial matters of the sect.Xia Yu is completely absent-minded, besides teaching Xia Yan, most of the time is often wasted for nothing.
And Xia Yan didn't notice anything wrong with it.
The distance from Dongtian to Changluo City is not far, but it still takes a lot of time to walk.Xia Yan soon began to feel uneasy after a short period of joy, and asked in a low voice coyly: "Master, don't you want to use the sword?"
He was worried that his master would feel tired, and he felt a little guilty about his waywardness.
Xia Yu asked back: "Is it good to hurry to Changluo City?"
Xia Yan bit her lower lip, not knowing what to say.
Xia Yu rubbed his hair: "I will also teach you how to control the sword when you go back?"
Xia Yan's eyes lit up first.But he grabbed Xia Yu's clothes, and after thinking for a long time, he finally shook his head: "Xiao Yan wants to be with the master."
Xia Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I still have to learn, what should I do when I'm not here?"
Xia Yan: "...Why is the master not here?"
Xia Yu didn't know how to answer this question for a moment.
He has almost never been in contact with demon cultivators, let alone grasses and trees becoming spirits, how long Xia Yan can live is unknown to him.But in any case, it will never be older than his age.
As for the separation of life and death?
Xia Yu's eyes darkened, but there was still that gentle smile on her face: "I was wrong, I won't be here."
Xia Yan continued to ask: "Xiao Yan will not leave Master! So... Master, we will not separate, right?"
Xia Yu looked at the other party's stubborn eyes, just smiled and didn't answer.
No matter how long the road is, it will come to an end.Xia Yan got down from Xia Yu's arms, and for a moment couldn't tell whether she was more relaxed or thankful.
He reached out and pulled the master's sleeve forward.
The excitement in Changluo City was as usual.Xia Yu bought all the elixir and fairy wine she needed, and turned to Xia Yan, "Is there anything you want?"
Xia Yan pointed at the elixir in the store, and looked at Xia Yu eagerly: "Master bought this before."
Xia Yu: "Huh?"
He looked in the direction Xia Yan pointed, and the little medicine bottle did look familiar.If you look closely, it is the Wuling Pill that Xia Yan took for a while a few years ago when he was just in shape.
Wuling Pill is a pill commonly used by low-level cultivators to assist in their cultivation.At that time, Xia Yu was worried that Xia Yan's body would not be able to withstand the properties of the medicine, so she chose the mildest flavor.Later, step by step, after using a better elixir, the Wuling elixir was put aside.
Xia Yu asked, "Why did you think of buying this?"
As soon as he said it, he felt a little regretful, especially the look in Xia Yan's eyes... that was definitely not the answer he wanted to hear.
Sure enough, Xia Yan clapped her hands and said joyfully, "I remember this one is sweet!"
Xia Yu choked.Going to look at the shopkeeper in the shop, he also has a look of uncontrollable laughter.
He sighed and patted Xia Yan's head: "That's it?"
Xia Yan's eyes lit up: "Master agreed?"
Xia Yu paused, wanting to say something more, but finally swallowed it down.
He turned his head and nodded to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper packed several bottles of pills very neatly, and when he handed them to Xia Yu, he said with emotion: "...I thought this belonged to the young master."
Xia Yu said "No".He also knew that the relationship between himself and Xia Yan must be very strange to outsiders. Xia Yan called him master, but he was not ambiguous in being obedient, and all kinds of intimate behaviors were definitely not like that of a master and servant.
The shopkeeper lowered his voice, and then asked: "I see the aura of fire and wood on his body, but it is quite different from the people I have seen before..."
Xia Yu smiled: "He is my spiritual pet."
The shopkeeper said: "That is really its blessing."
Xia Yu took a bottle of Wuling Pill and handed it to Xia Yan, and replied, "Who says it's not."
He asked himself, and often felt that meeting Xia Yan was the luckiest thing he had done in the past ten years.There is no need to tell outsiders about such feelings, even in front of Xia Yan, he never reveals it.
Although Xia Yan has transformed into form now, her mind has not matured yet.
Fortunately, he has plenty of time.
The two of them still walked leisurely on the way back to Dongtian outside the city.After Xia Yan got the jelly beans, she followed Xia Yu obediently, which reassured Xia Yu, who had been faintly worried that Xia Yan would act coquettishly and want to hug her on the way home.
A bit of inexplicable emotion that was grown up after all welled up in my heart.
Xia Yan didn't think too much, she just wanted to make up for her image when she came here with a little guilt.He pulled Xia Yu's sleeve and walked forward step by step, his steps were brisk.
It's a pity that after walking a few more steps, he changed into a mournful face again: "Master, I seem to..."
Before the words fell, it had uncontrollably turned back into the flaming grass again.
Xia Yu raised her brows slightly, and bent down to pick up the bottle of Wuling Pill that was in Xia Yan's hand and fell to the ground at this moment.
The flaming grass had spontaneously wrapped itself around his hand, and the slender branches slid along the cuff all the way to the inside, and then wrapped around his forearm.
What he hadn't finished just now was recalled in Xia Yu's mind at this moment, and his voice was clear, with a bit of regret: "Master, the time for this transformation is not as long as the previous one."
Xia Yu replied, "No problem."
After thinking for a while, Xia Yu felt that since Xia Yan had returned to her original form, it would be better to return to the cultivation cave as soon as possible.As soon as his mind turned to this place, Yancao had noticed that Xia Yan's joy was unreservedly displayed in his heart, and he asked with a question: "Master, are you going to use the sword?"
Xia Yu responded casually, and laid out formations around her to hide her whereabouts, and then sacrificed the flying sword.
Xia Yan: "...Unfortunately, I can't see it."
Xia Yu comforted Yancao: "Will you be with me next time?"
Xia Yan rejoiced, the shaking leaves brushed against Xia Yu's arms, bringing out a numb itching.
Xia Yu couldn't help but think, wait a few years for the world to be peaceful, then take him to have a look.
This wait is another few decades.
After Xia Yan transformed into a young man, his stature was only a head lower than Xia Yu's.Yancao had lost interest in the Wuling Pill long ago, and practiced diligently every day, making rapid progress.It's just that occasionally I stare at a place in a daze, as if hiding something on my mind.
Xia Yu once teased him: "Grow up? Have a crush?"
Xia Yan turned her head and said nothing.
And Xia Yu just said something plainly.After decades, the two of them were the only ones in the cave to get along with each other day and night, even if they went down the mountain, they would not stay for too long, and the number of girls who had dealt with Xia Yan could be counted on one hand.He won't interfere with Yancao's work, but he can tell a thing or two whether he wants to do something or not.
What Xia Yu was thinking was another matter.
No matter how big the rented cave is, I've grown tired of seeing it for many years. Gradually, Xia Yu wanted to move out.
After all, it was only a rented place, so it was really hard for Xia Yu to feel like "home" for this place.Xia Yan is not the case, at least it seems so, besides his daily practice, he is just teasing the spirit beasts scurrying in the forest, which is a great joy.
Before thinking about how to bring up the topic of moving away, Xia Yu asked Xia Yan: "Do you still want to go to the Mortal Realm?"
Xia Yan, who was transforming into a prototype and playing with spirit beasts: "...I want to!"
Xia Yu was helpless: "How old are you? Why are you here all day..."
The branches and tendrils of the burning grass hooked on the shoulders of their masters, and the leaves at the top rubbed against Xia Yu's cheeks, followed by a voice from the bottom of his heart.
"Master, you told me earlier that the mortal emperor abandoned the city and fled, and then re-emerged in another place... um, the superior? Is it still his family who is the emperor now?"
Xia Yu tugged at her own itchy leaves, and laughed, "Why do you ask this?"
Xia Yan returned to her youthful appearance, hugged her master from behind, and buried her head in the other's neck: "Curious. Master, you said earlier that that person is not suitable to be an emperor, why is it still his family?"
Xia Yu raised her hand to rub Xia Yan's hair, and explained in the most plain language: "He is not suitable, but his grandson is suitable... If he does not continue to be emperor, his grandson will not be born."
Xia Yan: "..." I didn't understand.
Xia Yu: "Where is the destiny, how can mortals change it? Let alone these things, after all, you will not see the emperor even if you go to the mortal world."
Xia Yan blurted out: "Why?"
Xia Yu replied, "You don't know the way."
Yancao, who practiced diligently, obviously lacked common sense, and didn't realize how much the master's words were worth thinking about.
Instead, he choked on the master's last sentence, and said reluctantly, "Why did the master say that?"
Xia Yu laughed, thinking that her spiritual pet is really interesting and cute.
In Xia Yu's impression, going to the mortal realm includes many things.
Aside from what he didn't want to think about, walking in the streets and alleys is a normal thing.
In addition, it is to search for the legends of ghosts and monsters in the past hundred years, listen to the stories of immortals in ordinary people, and then look at the achievements of human beings in recent years.
But Xia Yan is obviously not interested in this.
Xia Yu had no choice but to stay in the south of the Yangtze River, and said to Xia Yan: "The worst thing is to go and see the singing boats and painting boats on the lake."
His original intention was to listen to a few mortal tunes that he hadn't heard for a long time, but he followed Xia Yan into the Jianglou Chu Pavilion for no reason.
The cause of the incident was simply that Xia Yu had been standing by a lake for too long, Xia Yan was able to have fun by herself at first, but after a long time it became rather boring.
He glanced at the painting boat slowly swinging by on the lake.Farther away, there are willows on the opposite bank, fluttering slightly in the wind, as if dyed with bright green mist.
Mandarin ducks cross their necks, and egrets frighten the water.
The soft singing voice came from the boat, and the expressions of the scholars on the shore were fascinated.
Xia Yan: "..."
He really couldn't understand why even the master was so concerned about those things.
This is Mortal Realm?
Looking far away, Xia Yan recalled the time when she came to the mortal world when she was young, and her mood was complicated.
What is it that he should never forget?
Xia Yan pursed her mouth, the habit of her childhood has been retained to this day, but fortunately, such an expression does not feel disobedient when it appears on the boy's face.
He turned his gaze to Xia Yu, at first he was just in a daze, but after looking at it, he vaguely felt that something was wrong.
... The master is not concentrating on looking at the painting?It seems to be in a daze, the focus of the eyes is scattered.
After discovering this, Xia Yan rubbed against Xia Yu with peace of mind, and asked, "Master, I want to go around, can I?"
Xia Yu blinked, regained her senses, and said softly, "I didn't pay attention. Where does Xiaoyan want to go?"
Xia Yan pointed in a random direction, and Xia Yu complied, but didn't really look at what the other party was pointing at.It wasn't until he stopped walking that he realized that there were already Chu pavilions everywhere beside the two of them.
Xia Yu raised her brows, and was about to say, let's change places, when Mr. Gui came forward to say hello.After a long compliment, Xia Yan's curiosity was full, and she looked at Xia Yu with a little more eagerness.
Xia Yu: "..." It's fine if you don't say the refusal, there is an unknown person next to him who is eager to try.
Xia Yu simply and neatly pasted a talisman on Xia Yan's body, and she also disappeared.Gui`gong looked at the suddenly empty front and was about to scream, when a chaos suddenly appeared in his mind.When he came back to his senses, he muttered in his mouth: "Why did you leave, bad luck."
Xia Yan: "Master?"
Xia Yu has a headache.
Xu is that Xia Yan was trapped in the cultivation cave for too long when he was cultivating immortals, and he still doesn't know much about personnel.Xia Yu reflected on herself, thinking that it would not work if this continued.
Although I'm afraid I won't meet the second Flame Grass creature, Xia Yan will still meet his sweetheart one day.
Xia Yu was stunned for a moment, probably that day would be the time when she and Xia Yan parted.
Xia Yan turned to look at Gui`gong, who went to greet other guests, and then turned to look at Xia Yu, with a somewhat disappointed tone: "Can't you go in?"
Xia Yu could almost see the drooping leaves of the flame grass.
He coughed lightly, and replied: "Yes. Just go in like this, don't get involved with mortals, just take a look."
After that, the two of them sat on the beam together, listening to the sound of Xisuo coming from below.
In the air, the smell of rouge and wine mixed together, creating an indescribably ambiguous atmosphere.
The woman's voice of persuasion quickly turned into a coquettish smile, and it seemed that she wanted to refuse with a few words of "don't want to".
Xia Yan watched very intently, but she didn't know why, so she asked doubtfully, "Master, is it comfortable to do this kind of thing?"
Xia Yu thought for a while and replied, "It is supposed to be comfortable if someone does it together."
Xia Yan was gearing up, her eyes were full of joy: "Can I try?"
Xia Yu glanced at him, and suddenly remembered whether her behavior was teaching bad children.He reflected for a moment, without moving his expression, and only said: "No."
Xia Yan turned her head in disappointment, her legs were dangling in the air, and unwillingly turned into burning grass and entangled Xia Yu.Xia Yu let him make a fuss, leaned against the beam and did not speak from the beginning to the end.
The noise below became louder, and gradually there was a viscous sound of water.At first, Xia Yu just controlled her breathing, but she finally couldn't help it and said, "You don't want to watch it? Let's go."
Xia Yan: "Hmm..."
Xia Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
He overestimated his strength too much.
But I was still puzzled.It has only been five or sixty years since I met Xia Yan, no matter how much my concentration is worn down, it will not be nearly exhausted after such a long time.
Coming out of Chuguan Lane, Xia Yu hesitated for a moment, and asked silently in her heart: "Do you want to stay any longer?"
After all, Xia Yan couldn't speak when she was in the form of burning grass.
The Flame Grass shook the leaves, more and more aware of the troubled thoughts in the master's heart, and what he saw just now was extremely boring, it might not be as interesting as frolicking with the spirit beasts in the cave, so he replied: "No more."
The corners of Xia Yu's lips curled up a little, she stretched out a hand, and lightly touched the twigs wrapped around her body with her fingertips: "Let's transform, Xiaoyan."
The flaming grass shook its leaves again, reluctantly retreated from Xia Yu's body, and turned into a young man.
Xia Yu held his hand, opened the whole body formation, sacrificed the flying sword, and walked against the wind, thousands of miles in an instant.
At the intersection of the Immortal Cultivation Realm and the Ordinary Realm, Xia Yu inadvertently turned her head away, just in time to see Xia Yan's focused gaze on her.
The young man's eyes were mixed with verdant green and red-orange flames, and the childishness of his childhood had faded from his face, but he was still so pure and flawless.
Xia Yu was startled, then sighed secretly.
After returning to the world of cultivating Taoism and cultivating immortals, everything seems to be the same as before.Xia Yan plays between the mountains and fields, breathing in the essence of the world, the deeper the cultivation base.Seeing his appearance, Xia Yu didn't mention moving out of Changluo for a while.
He had another problem on his mind.
In the Chu Pavilion, he had a desire.When I thought about it, I was forcibly suppressed. Afterwards, Xia Yu felt a little bit on fire.
Okay, what are you going to do in that kind of place?
He should have sternly refused when Xia Yan proposed to go in.
Xia Yu doesn't think she is a saint, but she doesn't want to deal with the slightest emotion casually.What's more, looking at the world at this time, there is still no one who can make him put his heart into it.
And he wouldn't let it go.
Xia Yu rubbed her forehead.There is still time before a hundred years, so why is he so at a loss.
But after all helpless.Xia Yu had no choice but to focus more on cultivation, so as to teach herself not to always think about something.
Xia Yan: "...Master has been acting strange recently."
The flaming grass takes root in the soil where the flaming energy is most plentiful, and the vines stretch out and spread out under boredom, as if sweeping the entire cave.He and Xia Yu were in the same mind, and he easily found the master who was meditating in another place.The newly born branches and leaves swayed in front of Xia Yu's eyes, and Xia Yan's spiritual consciousness also penetrated into the depths of the master's heart.
After confirming that the owner has indeed entered the state of selflessness, Yancao couldn't help but move the branches and leaves closer.Almost all of Xia Yan's consciousness was concentrated in one place, enveloping Xia Yu.
Since returning from Mortal Realm, scenes that Xia Yan thought she didn't care about often appeared in her dreams.The entangled body in the vast mist, the hazy whisper... At first, Xia Yan thought that this kind of thing happened because of her deep resentment, until one day, the fog cleared away.
He saw the eyes of the owner whose hair crown was removed and the hair was scattered were rippling, the tip of the eyes was bright red, and he was calling his name.
Then he woke up.
Fortunately, he fell asleep in the form of the burning grass, so there would be no traces of it.After rejoicing, Xia Yan began to think about everything in the dream again, and then compared the picture with the master in front of him.
In the past hundred years, he has only seen the appearance of the master taking off the hair crown a few times, and he has never even thought about anything else.
The thin branch paused in the air, hesitated for a long time, and finally made a move.
At this moment, Xia Yu opened his eyes.
Xia Yan: "...!"
The burning grass stretching all over the ground was immediately taken back to the place where it took root.With lingering fears in her heart, Xia Yan began to exercise her skills and pretended to be dead.
On the other side, Xia Yu suddenly stood up.
"Xiao Yan?"
"..." Playing dead.
"I……"
"..." Playing dead.
"...go down the mountain to do something important, you stay here and wait for me."
"..." Playing dead...Huh?
Xia Yu thought about it, and added worriedly: "It may take a long time to go here, if I don't come back for a long time, you don't have to worry about it."
Xia Yan couldn't stay still anymore, she hastily transformed into a fairy formula, and appeared next to Xia Yu: "I'm with the master!"
But the person who has always been responsive to his requests is categorical: "No."
Xia Yan opened his mouth, eyes filled with disbelief.For a moment, it was like a loss of speech.
Seeing his appearance, Xia Yu couldn't help softening her attitude, and said softly, "I know you are worried, but this trip is a long way away. Well, I have to do it alone."
Xia Yan opened her eyes wide, without saying a word, just staring at Xia Yu.
Xia Yu was silent for a while, as if she still wanted to say something, but the tip of her eyebrows suddenly frowned.
Xia Yan: "Master?"
Xia Yu let out a breath and looked away from the other party: "I'm sorry. Wait for me to come back."
Xia Yan watched helplessly as the other party disappeared in front of her eyes.
Standing in the cave, he looked around in a daze, the vegetation in the world was no different from the past.There is a wind blowing, bringing the sound of distant spirit beasts playing.
But I can no longer find the person who has been with me for so many years.
Xia Yu made up her mind to use the teleportation technique in front of Xia Yan, forcing the other party to be unable to track him down.After getting away, he stood in the air, looking back at the direction of the cultivation cave, his eyes dim.
After that, Xia Yu found the right direction and moved forward all the way until the place where the mysterious ice condensed to the north of the world of cultivating immortals.Xia Yu finally felt a little more comfortable with the severe cold all over her body. With her mind relaxed, she couldn't help but wonder why she was so restless in less than a hundred years.
Because Xia Yan is a burning grass?
After a while, Xia Yu reluctantly came to a conclusion.If he was tortured like this after watching a play in the Mortal Realm... Xia Yu herself would not believe it.
It's a pity that I couldn't see Xia Yan for a year.He is used to Xia Yan acting like a baby to him, coupled with years of companionship, his feelings are behind him.
Fortunately, with that drop of heart blood as a guide, no matter where Xia Yan is, he will always know.
With this in mind, Xia Yu immersed herself in the millennium cold pool inside the Xuanbing, holding her breath.
In the sky above the cold pool, thick black clouds had gathered at some point.The clouds rolled, the wind howled, and the lightning flashed and thundered.
Changluo City.
After Xia Yu left, Xia Yan only stayed in the cultivation cave for more than a month before going down the mountain.He couldn't tell what kind of feeling it was like, as if his whole body was empty, and it was fine if he couldn't lift his energy to practice breathing, and even playing with spirit beasts was very boring.
After the initial bewilderment passed, Xia Yan subconsciously remembered the master's words.
Wait for him to come back.
...But how long will we have to wait!
The master said that it took him a long time to go out this time, Xia Yan thought for a long time but couldn't figure out how long it was.He only knows that the person he faces day and night has left him, and the return date is uncertain.
It took only a few days to go from bewildered to wronged.After going down the mountain, he traveled to Changluo City every day, and later he simply rented a small yard in the city, and went to see the sights in the city every day, preferably to hear the news from afar.
But he never dared to leave too far, for fear that the master would not find him when he came back.
What is it that can separate the master from him?
The shopkeeper who bought Wuling Dan when he was young was still the same person. Seeing Xia Yan wandering around every day, he finally couldn't help calling him into the shop and asked, "Where's your master?"
Xia Yan replied, "Going out to do some errands."
From the shopkeeper's point of view, it is very normal for the master to be separated from the spiritual pet. What's more, he has never seen this pair of master pets separated in decades.It's not supposed to be his business, but...
The shopkeeper cleared his throat and was about to speak when he heard the person who bought the pill say: "I heard that the last time the vision in the north appeared was in Jimo City 58 years ago."
Xia Yan was startled, and his pupils shrank suddenly.
Isn't Jimo City 58 years ago the place where he met his master for the first time?
The shopkeeper said to Xia Yan to wait a moment, and then went up to check out with the person who bought the pill, and exchanged a few pleasantries during the period, and the topic was naturally the vision of the north.Xia Yan stood aside and listened to every word.
Finally, he closed his eyes.
Make no mistake, the start time this time is the time when the master left.Even if it was a coincidence, he also wanted to see what happened.
With such thoughts in mind, Xia Yan left Changluo alone for the first time.He has the storage bag left by Xia Yu on him, and the spirit stones in it are enough for his daily expenses.Yueyu's life in the city also made him feel a little bit sinister, and he knew the truth of not revealing his wealth, so he planned to go on his own after some calculations.
He has learned [-]% of the art of controlling the sword, the only pity is that he has not yet had a good flying sword to accompany him, so the speed is naturally not fast.
But that's not the most disturbing thing.
All the way to the north, the temperature around the body gradually dropped, the soil suitable for the fire grass to take root was too scarce, and the fire air was sparse.Xia Yan clearly felt that his body was rapidly weakening, and his current cultivation base was not enough for him to walk freely in the world of cultivating immortals like a cultivator.
It's so cold here, what about the places to the north?
Yancao pulled out the rhizome from the soil that took root overnight, and set out on the road again.
Fortunately, although this journey was difficult, at last there was no right and wrong.
Xia Yan controls the time he travels. When the weather is too cold to go on the road, he often finds a place to practice.After all, it is a flaming grass, and Xia Yan quickly learned how to turn her own flaming energy into a protective shield to surround her body.
Before he knew it, he had spent half a year on the road.
Xia Yan learned too many things from the experience of working alone.The childishness on his face gradually faded away, replaced by a mature and dignified one that was completely different from the boy's appearance.
Occasionally, he would also think that the master really protected himself too well.
What Xia Yan didn't expect was that even though she was so careful, she still got into trouble.
... It should be said that it is troublesome to mess with him.
There is still a long way to go to the legendary north, but Xia Yan has to change the itinerary to a day of practice and a day of travel because of her health.
In the past few months, he has also gotten used to spending the night in the fairy city.There are so many people coming and going in the inn in the city, they want to go to an ordinary house, eat the food of ordinary cultivators, and then use the magic weapon given by the master to hide their own smell of burning grass - there are too many such people, no one Will notice him.
But one night, Xia Yan couldn't fall asleep for no reason.There was a strange smell floating in the air, not bad to say the least, but it still made him feel uncomfortable.
Soon, Xia Yan realized what was causing the discomfort.
□□ Quiet.
He couldn't hear the voice of any immortal cultivator.
After figuring this out, Xia Yan shivered, her body had already reacted before she realized it.With a fingertip pinching a magic trick, his figure disappeared in the air.
Xia Yan was a little hesitant, did he meet someone who wanted to rob money?But I don't know how far the smell has traveled, and who is it, who is so confident.
His divine sense flicked across a small grass on the street outside the window.
A flute sounded suddenly, and after that, people on the whole street started to move.
Xia Yan drew her original shape, rooted on the side of the street, looked at many people, and walked towards the direction of the sound of the flute with empty eyes.
He felt cold all over his body, and he couldn't wait to go north just waiting for the dawn.
Xia Yan thought of the rumors she heard along the way.There are demon cultivators in the north, who feed on the bones and blood of immortal cultivators.Devour his flesh and blood, refining his cultivation.
Such magic repairs don't appear often.But as soon as he shows up, there will be a city of immortal cultivators who will become food for the demon cultivators.
But before he had gone far, someone caught up with him from behind.The person who came was a woman with a pretty face, with cinnabar embellishments between her eyebrows, and bright red Koudan on the tips of her ten fingers, which was very gorgeous.
The other party looked at him carefully, and giggled coquettishly: "I said, how can someone run away with a dark fragrance on their body... So it's not a person, but a grass."
There was too much difference in cultivation, Xia Yan was completely suppressed, and couldn't even open her mouth to speak.
Thousands of miles away, in the cold pool.
Xia Yu suddenly opened his eyes.
The woman seemed distressed, looked at her shiny fingertips, and said with a bit of grievance in her tone: "But I can't eat grass, what do you think should I do? Could it be that the dark fragrance was wasted?"
Then, she clapped her hands together: "I thought of it! I'll capture you and make you into a puppet!"
With vicious words in her mouth, the woman still had a smile on her face.She raised her eyebrows, and in the blink of an eye, she had come to Xia Yan's side, and reached out to grab Xia Yan's heart——
"stop!"
The air suddenly fluctuated!
Moxiu was shocked, his eyes were full of disbelief.
Xia Yan exhaled in surprise: "Master?!"
Xia Yu glanced at him, then turned her head to look at Moxiu in front of her.With just one glance, Moxiu felt as if he was being strangled by the throat.
Being under the control of others is not easy, the longer the confrontation lasts, the more panicked Moxiu feels.It had been a long time since she had met an opponent like this, who suppressed her to this point without even using a magic weapon.
Moxiu wanted to escape, but the previous confrontation had consumed too much of her energy.
Looking at the man who appeared in front of him at that instant, the other party still seemed to be able to do a job with ease.
Moxiu had no choice but to beg for mercy.All the things she did before, in her opinion, were only due to the ruthlessness of the Dao, and if the strength is not as good as others, she should be prepared to be slaughtered.But he didn't expect that one day, the person who was slaughtered would become himself.
Xia Yu looked at the flattering woman in front of her, and really didn't have the patience to waste time with her.Without the suppression of the cold pool, a burning sensation quickly appeared on his body, and beside him was Xia Yan, who was naturally fire...
With a pale face, without saying a word, he ordered the killer.
Moxiu's stay in this world will only continue to harm people.Looking at the inexhaustible blood lingering around this woman, one can tell how many people have died under her hands.
Being killed at this moment does not count as wronging her.
Seeing Xia Yu like this, the woman felt very resentful in her heart.Too many words overflowed his throat, but the man couldn't even listen to the words of begging for mercy, and the rest were even more in vain.
But she is really not reconciled.
Before dissipating into the world, she exhausted her last strength and threw a drop of blood stained with demonic energy towards Xia Yan.
Xia Yan couldn't dodge in time, and Xia Yu didn't expect the woman to have such strength left.When the two of them reacted, the drop of blood had already stuck to Xia Yan's eyes.
The strong devilish energy can often melt the internal organs of a cultivator.However, immortal cultivators often have the true energy to protect the body, and no matter how bad it is, they also have elixir to make up for it.
What I'm afraid of is being drawn out by my demons.
Xia Yu quickly helped Xia Yan clean up the demonic qi that was infected, and looked at the hot grass that had not been seen for several months, it seemed to have grown a bit, but her stature was still so tall.
He didn't even bother to look carefully.
Before concentrating on doing things, the hot and unbearable feeling was barely tolerable.Now that he's relaxed, he feels so uncomfortable that he almost wants to push down the hot grass of the youthful appearance in front of him and do Dunlun's things.
However, Yancao still acted like a baby to him without realizing it, buried her head on his shoulder, and continued to talk about her longing for the months of goodbye.
Xia Yu is not worried that Yancao will give birth to demons, after all, the growth environment is too simple, and she rarely sees anyone except herself.
But after thinking about it, Xia Yan has been away from home for the past few months.
He rubbed Xia Yan's hair, and taught her to raise her head and look at him.
The eyes of Yancao are still green and green mixed with red-orange flames, just like before.
Xia Yu felt relieved.
In this way, it was delayed for some time.
Xia Yu wanted to bid farewell to Xia Yan, but Xia Yan refused to say anything, and just looked at him eagerly while pulling his sleeves.
What else did he say: "Why is the master so cold? It must be very uncomfortable to stay in that kind of place... Has the master gone to the extreme north?"
Xia Yu also felt a little guilty about her hasty departure earlier, so she had to slow down her tone and answer, "Yes, how did Xiaoyan know?"
He was also quite curious about the reason why Xia Yan went out this time.
Xia Yan looked at the master in front of him, his clothes seemed to be soaked, sticking to his body, and there was still ice in his hair.
The nature of Yancao is close to light and heat, and there is only one person who can make him walk towards the ice without hesitation.
Xia Yan replied: "I heard people in Changluo City that the last time there was a strange sound in the extreme north was in Jimo City." He paused and added: "58 years ago."
Xia Yu understood.
Xia Yan: "Where is the master? Can you tell me why this happened?"
Xia Yu already breathed a sigh of relief, suppressing the instinct that was about to move under her skin, and slowly replied: "I never told you..."
Xia Yan held her breath and listened carefully.
"I am not a human being, let alone belong to this world of cultivating immortals..."
"...I am a thing from the upper realm and the lower realm. I met with mortals in private and gave birth to a different kind."
"The bloodline of the thing in the upper world was neutralized by mortals, but it was still a thousand times stronger than mortals."
"Once in a hundred years, my love period."
Xia Yan's first reaction was actually: "But it's only 58 years?"
Xia Yu smiled: "I don't quite understand. Maybe it's because I met you?"
Xia Yan blinked her eyes, not understanding.
But I still remembered the beautiful images that floated in my mind when I was in Changluo Cave.
When thinking about it this time, the picture became clearer and filled my heart, and it almost became some kind of obsession.
The two figured it out, and Xia Yu quickly accepted this obsession.His complexion changed, and he fixedly looked at Xia Yan.
Xia Yan has already opened his mouth and asked: "Then, can I?"
Xia Yu thought, did the drop of blood still affect Xia Yan?It can distort Xia Yan's dependence on him since childhood into this.
He said this sentence with emotion, then carefully looked at the young man in front of him, and said, yes.
...If that person is Xia Yan.
Coupled with the clearest enthusiasm and persistence emanating from the divine consciousness.
Xia Yu felt that it was indeed possible.
Xia Yu and Xia Yan arrived at a hot place in a few moments.Xia Yan's spiritual veins were nourished, and the only comfort he had for a long time made him unable to bear it. He transformed into his original form and stretched the branches and leaves, leaving a trunk, and he became a boy again.
"Cultivation has improved a lot." Xia Yu commented.
Xia Yan was a little embarrassed.Previously, he was held down by the demon cultivator and had no power to fight back, but the master cleaned him up in the blink of an eye, and even cleared the demonic energy in his body.
Sure enough, it was still far away.
Xia Yu just said something casually.Here, he doesn't have to worry about Xia Yan's body, nor does he have to worry about his love period.
Then you should be good and do what you have to do.
He pinched Xia Yan's jaw, his eyebrows and eyes curved softly, and what he said was: "Have you thought about it? After this time, I will never let you go again... One day, when I die, I will also drag you down to Huangquan together."
Xia Yu never cared about the so-called Gangchang ethics, and there were not many people in the world of cultivating immortals.
