Refusing to work overtime for the teacher

After leaving the snowy area, what you see is no longer a continuous snow scene. The rivers and mountains in the southwest are still lush and green, but when you go north, you can see the fluttering snow again.

On the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, when the snow was heavy and the birds were silent, Yun Zhou arrived at the gate of the human road.

The three of them got off the cloud boat, Xiao Xun flicked his fingers to make it shrink to the size of a palm, and put it into his sleeve.

Renjiandao is located in Zhongzhou, with four distinct seasons.At this time of year, the sky is not blue or blue, and the silver clouds are continuous. There is a thin layer of snow on the mountain road, and snow and frost hang on the trees beside the road, as if they are wearing new clothes.

Gu Song walked in the front, passed the mountain gate, stopped and said to Xie Ling: "Gusu Hanshan has sent you a lot of things these years, but there is no one in Hefeng, so I will collect it for you, and I will send it to you later."

There is no one at Hefeng, doesn't that mean that Xie Fenglue has not come back? Xie Ling figured out this meaning, nodded and said: "Okay."

"Let's go." Gu Song stepped forward again.The dark robes were lifted by the wind, he stepped on the long sword, and disappeared into the distance.

Xiao Xun also released a sword into the air, took Xie Ling up, and walked towards Hefeng.

"Gusu Hanshan sent you something?" Xiao Xun's tone was full of curiosity, "Hanshan is also famous for the strange roads of Hanshan, do you have business with them?"

"The Strange Way of the Cold Mountain...the Nine Returns." Xie Ling thought for a while and said a name.

Xiao Xun suddenly understood the connection: "Then his surname is not Yue, but a name."

Xie Ling said: "The left and right pronunciations are the same, there is not much difference."

"It turns out that both of you were wearing false identities back then, but I was the only one who was sincere." Xiao Xun's words were teasing.

"Are you sincere again?" Xie Ling raised her brows and said, pointing something, causing Xiao Xun to smile.

After a while, go to Hefeng.

Here, there are piles of snow on the rocks, and the forests are dyed white, but the streams are still flowing.No one came to the Taoist Hall for a long time, which gave off a sense of loneliness and desolation, but the vines planted on the south wall hung down into a waterfall, swaying in the cold wind.

Xiao Xun threw a few talisman papers out, cleaned up the snow and the dead leaves and flowers buried by the snow, and lit a piece of incense in the incense burner in the front hall. meaning.

Xie Ling went to the alchemy room not for alchemy, but because Yungui was in this small courtyard.

The pattern on its shell was still the same, its limbs and head were all shrunk in the shell, and it stopped like a stone under the old tree surrounded by several people. Xie Ling stepped forward to knock on its back shell, but got no response.

Xie Ling knocked again, and took out a plate of melons and fruits and placed it in front of it.The cloud turtle is still shrinking.

Xie Ling thought for a moment, and brought a thin-mouthed white porcelain bottle from the mustard space.It contains the inferior and low-grade products that he refined out of bad luck when he was alchemy in Zhaocheng.

"Do you want to take the pill? But this is not a body training pill, but a Qingyuan pill. I have reached the second stage of body training." While talking, Xie Ling uncorked the bottle and poured pills one after another. The medicine was poured into the palm of his hand, and he shook it in front of Yungui.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths... Xie Ling counted the time, and at the fifth breath, Yungui's probe was like lightning, and it stretched out its tongue to sweep Xie Ling's hand, and rolled all the pills into its belly.

But after eating, he shrank his head back and ignored people.

Xie Ling looked amused, thought about the turtle's mind, and said: "You are not mad at me for not coming back all these years, are you?"

"Woo." Yun Gui rubbed his head out a little, and hummed a low syllable in his throat.

Xie Ling immediately heard that the turtle was really angry.

"But I didn't know that this trip would take so long." Xie Ling said helplessly.He poked lightly on this guy's head with his finger, his thoughts turned like lightning, and he tentatively asked: "If I go out next time, I will take you with me?" It would be much more convenient to travel with a mount.

"Woo!" Yun Gui raised his head and called out loudly and loudly.

Xiao Xun was leaning on the moon gate not far away, hearing the conversation between Xie Ling and Yun Gui, he laughed softly.

"I guessed before that you must have a good relationship with this cloud turtle." Xiao Xun said.At this time, the restraint on the peak was touched, and he probed out for his spiritual sense, and said, "It's Mu Bei who came."

Xie Ling lifted the restriction, gave Yun Gui some pills, and went to the front hall with Xiao Xun.

Mu Bei was sent by Gusong to deliver things, he didn't stay for long, and left after delivery.

There are not too many things, a few letters, a few boxes, and a few jars of wine.

Xie Ling opened the letter, and Xiao Xun opened the things. They were all magic weapons. Combined with the narration in the letter, they were developed by Yue Jiugui himself over the years, including the pocket watch that Xie Ling had mentioned with him.

The last thing Xiao Xun opened was a red lacquered wooden box. Inside were two cuboid wooden strips, about the length of a palm. Three sides of them were engraved with spell patterns, and the other side was carved with patterns.The carvings on the two wooden strips are different, one depicts birds and the other depicts landscapes.There is also a piece of paper under the wooden strip.

Xiao Xun picked up the wooden stick and looked at it, saw some clues from the spell, and then looked at the paper, his eyes lit up: "This is the magic weapon he made?"

Xie Ling closed the letter and said "hmm": "Looking at the time of signing, it was delivered two months ago, and it was not long ago."

"It was actually made for him. Many people have proposed such an idea before, but they all failed." Xiao Xun said with emotion.

No one in this world has ever invented a magic weapon that can communicate over a long distance, and spells and formations have limited effects. For example, there is a large formation used to connect the peaks in the human world, but it is limited to the main peak to send out messages.

"If he can make more of these things and sell them, the Cold Mountain Strange Way will become famous in the world." Xiao Xun said.

"This is also his wish, or ambition." Xie Ling smiled, took two pieces of wood from Xiao Xun, handed him the "Instructions for Use" attached to the letter, and said at the same time, "Wood and wood If you complete the mark matching between them, you can communicate with each other, but one piece of wood can be paired with at most five other pieces, and it will not work if there are too many.”

"Yue Jiugui said that these two pieces have already been paired, and that this one has been paired with his." Xie Ling clicked on the wooden strips carved with landscapes.

Xiao Xun took the other one: "Then give this one to me."

"You're welcome." Xie Ling smiled.

"You want me to be polite to you?" Xiao Xun snorted softly, touched the one in Xie Ling's hand with his wooden stick, and his tone became curious: "Try?"

Xie Ling nodded, and according to Yue Jiugui's letter, he injected some spiritual energy into the wooden stick to activate the spell on it.

The rays of light swept out from the charms, interlaced in various colors, weaving a phantom in mid-air, in the shadow was a figure, a cloud of mist.The former Xie Ling recognized Yue Jiugui at a glance. In the portrait, he was dressed in a lake blue shirt and smiled happily.Because of this, Xie Ling judged that the cloud of fog should be Xiao Xun's stick.

...The virtual screen can also upload avatars, which has a bit of futuristic sci-fi feel.As Xie Lingxin said, she tapped her finger on the portrait.

The faint brilliance flowed, the figure jumped into the middle of the phantom, and the fog disappeared.Xie Ling stared at the streamer and couldn't help guessing, could it be visible?

After a while, a voice came from the phantom, but the portrait above remained unchanged.

It does not appear to be a video call.

"Senior Brother? Is that you, Senior Brother?" Yue Jiugui's tone was both surprised and joyful. It should be in a noisy place with many people, and the background sound is very noisy.

"It's me." Even though Yue Jiugui was not in front of him, Xie Ling nodded.

"I've written you many letters in the past three years, but you haven't replied to them. I thought..." Yue Jiugui's voice dropped as he spoke.

Xie Ling apologized a little: "I forgot to tell you earlier that I didn't return to the world."

"Ah? So that's how it is!" Yue Jiugui said with a smile, "Isn't that Xiao Xun also living in the world? He never replied to the letter I sent him."

Xiao Xun, who was leaning on the window lattice behind Xie Ling, interjected: "Yes, we went to the Snowy Land."

"I went to the snowy area! Hey, I always want to go... Recently, the living Buddha of Tantric Buddhism passed away and a funeral was held. I planned to take the opportunity of condolences to taste their yak meat and matsutake, but there were too many things at hand. , I can't find the time at all..."

Yue Jiugui became excited when he heard the word "Xueyu", but his speech slowed down, his tone and grammar were weird, and he hesitated: "Wait, you two are together? I mean now... ...No, it's not about this, me, senior brother, you guys... I owe you back..."

Yue Jiugui fell silent.

Xie Ling recalled the scene when he told Yue Jiu to return to his identity in the secret realm of the Donghua Banquet, and knew how wonderful his expression was at the moment, so he couldn't help laughing, and then nodded lightly: "Yeah."

"It's just what you think." Xiao Xun expanded Xie Ling's word.

Yue Jiugui was still silent.

The noisy sound of where he was was becoming clear, and there were tinkling knocking sounds from time to time. Xie Ling guessed that he should be at the casting place.

After a while, Yue Jiugui finally found his own voice: "I'm going slowly."

Then he said, "I'll take it easy."

"Slowly, slowly..." As he muttered, this guy actually let out a burst of laughter: "Haha! Actually, this is a good thing! I call you senior brother, and Xiao Xun is your apprentice, I am senior!"

Xie Ling: "..."

Xie Ling thought that you are still so funny and cheerful, but Xiao Xun said "tsk" indifferently.

"Young master, that part is ready, come and see!" Someone shouted from Yuejiugui, the voice sounded a little far away.

"Okay." Yue Jiugui replied, and then said to Xie Ling embarrassedly: "Brother, I have something to do here."

"Well, go get busy." Xie Ling nodded again.

The contact ended, and the figure of Yue Jiugui disappeared from mid-air. Xie Ling tapped on the phantom, and the light converged in the wooden stick.

"This guy is really interesting." Xiao Xun got up from the window lattice and leaned crookedly on Xie Ling's chair.He sent some spiritual power to the wooden bar carved with flowers and birds, and said with great interest: "I will also study and study to see how to get my own portrait on it."

They were at the long table by the east window, and Xie Ling sorted out the magical instruments sent by Yue Jiugui. The communication wood was placed on the table case, together with his pen, ink, paper and inkstone, the pocket watch was put into the mustard space, and the rest was left for the time being. The unused piles go to the shelf.

Xiao Xun looked away from the phantom in front of him, and asked Xie Ling: "You don't want to do it?"

Xie Ling asked him back: "Why use your own portrait?"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Xun made an expression of sudden understanding: "Yes, why use your own portrait?"

The meanings of the two were completely different, and Xie Ling could tell that this person was planning to use another painting as his head portrait.

Xiao Xun fiddled with the communication log for a while, turned his head to look at Xie Ling, and showed a smile.

The next moment, the communication wood on Xie Ling's desk lit up, and a phantom jumped out. In the shadow was a white cat with a bell.

Xie Ling was taken aback when he saw it, with a strange expression on his face.

"You..." Xie Ling stared at Xiao Xun for a while, before hesitating to speak.

"What am I?" Xiao Xun asked.

Can't tell, you are actually a lover of cat heads? Xie Ling thought.

Xiao Xun cut off the contact with Xie Ling, laughed and talked about his new discovery: "Going back nine times, or the heart of the cold mountain strange road is still thin, this wood has a small hole cut out, it can be hung on the body with a string, In case I contact you, you put it in the mustard space and miss it."

Xie Ling was distracted, picked up the communication wood and took a closer look, and saw that there was a small hole in the inconspicuous top, which could be used to string strings.

However, Xiao Xun took out a handful of strings of various colors from nowhere, and after searching through them, he picked a fiery red one and gave it to Xie Ling.Xie Ling glanced at the man's clothes of the same color, and while threading a rope on the communication wood, said: "Maybe we can suggest to Yue Jiugui that he add a recording function, or even a message function."

"Just add a few spells, but the difficulty is to avoid conflicting with the existing spells." Xiao Xun said with a smile.

There was nothing left or right, Xie Ling walked out of the front hall and resumed the daily classes that were interrupted by the return journey.Xiao Xun also went outside the hall, sat on the corridor, watched Xie Ling's sword and palm skills for a while, and took out the exercise book he got in Xiaoyao Realm.

This exercise is too old, it is one thing to see its function, and another thing to practice it.Xiao Xun looked at it whenever he had free time, but he hadn't fully understood it yet.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the days are very short, and the sky is already dim.Xie Ling was still practicing swordsmanship, there was a lot of fine snow, and the sword was shining brightly. When he folded his body, his clothes rose and fell like blooming flowers, pulling out arcs of light like fireflies.

Xiao Xun closed the book, stretched his waist, leaned on the porch pillar and stared at Xie Ling, and suddenly bent his eyes and said: "It's getting dark."

Xie Ling just made a move, and glanced at him with doubts in his eyes: so what if it's dark?

Xiao Xun got up, walked into the wind and snow from under the eaves, and asked with a smile: "Xie Xiaoling, where to sleep tonight?"

Xie Ling was slightly taken aback.He hadn't thought about this issue yet, and he didn't think it was a problem, but Xiao Xun's thoughts were so obvious that he couldn't help but tease him.When Xiao Xun approached, Xie Ling raised his eyebrows halfway, glanced at the book in his hand, and then at him: "You don't want to study this exercise anymore?"

"Could it be that, if you can't practice that skill, you won't sleep with me?" Xiao Xun said in a faint tone.

Xie Ling made a thoughtful expression on purpose: "It's not impossible."

"Really?" Xiao Xun slightly narrowed his eyes.

"When—" Xie Ling just opened his mouth when Xiao Xun came in front of him.This wasn't over yet, and Xie Ling was forced to step back step by step until her back touched an old tree on the front lawn.

The snow was falling, and a little of what had accumulated on the tree fell off, and by coincidence, another one fell between Xie Ling's eyelashes.Xiao Xun took off the sword in Xie Ling's hand, brushed away the snowflakes on his hair and shirt, and then kissed away the snow on his long eyelashes.

"Master." Xiao Xun murmured.

Xie Ling's eyelashes trembled slightly after being kissed by Xiao Xun.

"Master?" Xiao Xun said again, his voice was lowered, he smiled a little, and the tone rose again.Xie Ling couldn't stand him talking like this, so she looked away, but the tips of her ears turned red involuntarily.

Xiao Xun rubbed Xie Ling's lips with his thumb, and asked: "Master, can I kiss you?"

"No." Xie Ling said bluntly.

He moved his fingers down, across Xie Ling's neck, and paused at the Adam's apple: "Then what about here?"

"No, no." Xie Ling lowered her eyes.Xiao Xun's movements were very light, but he really showed his presence, which made him tremble uncontrollably, and even his voice seemed to ripple.

Xiao Xun snorted and put his finger on Xie Ling's collarbone.

"What about here? It's not allowed either." Xiao Xun asked himself and answered, "But you clearly agreed to me yesterday."

"Who promised you yesterday?" Xie Ling finally turned her head to look at him, it was clearly snowy, but there was spring in her eyes.

He was still on the cloud boat yesterday, because Gu Song was next door, even if there was a kiss between Xiao Xun and him, it was just a taste.

Xiao Xun said "Oh", "It wasn't yesterday, it was some time in the future. Master, since you have made a promise, how can you break your promise?"

"I won't let Master break his promise either." Xiao Xun laughed again.

He put his hand on the side of Xie Ling's face, and still held Xie Ling's sword in the other hand. He was about to bow his head to do what he had promised, and his expression changed.But the change was brief, and he regained his expression in an instant, kissing Xie Ling's lips that were about to speak.

He kissed lingeringly, Xie Ling's eyes trembled, and his fingers unconsciously grabbed the skirt of Xiao Xun's clothes.

Just now Xie Ling's spiritual consciousness was touched, this feeling is familiar and long-lost - someone came to Hefeng and crossed the restriction.

The speed of the visitor was extremely fast, and he appeared in the Dao Palace in an instant.

There were no lights in the Taoist hall, and after the sky light dispersed, the surroundings were dark and confused.The corners of the dark black clothes fluctuated in the wind, and his gaze went up. He had handsome features and an indifferent expression. He was an ancient pine.

After kissing Xie Ling, Xiao Xun lightly pecked him on the lips, then straightened his messy clothes, and stepped back to the side to avoid sight.

Xie Ling raised her lowered eyes, took a step forward, and called out "Senior Brother."

"There is a piece of news that you should want to know." Gu Song said blankly, "These days, Qingshan Academy is targeting Gusu Hanshan."

"Qingshan Academy?" Xie Ling clarified the reason at once, the previous nervousness disappeared, and his face sank, "Is it aimed at the strange way of Hanshan?"

"The relevant information is here, read it yourself." Gu Song threw a booklet at Xie Ling, turned around immediately, and left without saying "go".

Xiao Xun watched him go away, flicked his sleeves to light the stone lampposts in the courtyard and the lanterns under the eaves, and asked Xie Ling to read the information book carefully, while he walked around the vicinity and said slowly: "Our formation here , it's time to change."

The author has something to say:
