Cannon fodder apprentice reborn

In front of Ruan Qiu's parents' grave, there are traces of people worshiping. The weeds around have been cleared, and there are incense sticks and paper money left in front of the tombstone not long ago. Ruan Qiu guessed that most of them were worshiped by his brother Song Xinting when he came back. Nothing surprising either.

On the contrary, it was Yin Wuchen. When Ruan Qiu was annoyed that he didn't have time to bring incense candle offerings up the mountain together, he was a little surprised to see the inscription on the tombstone. This is a joint burial tomb. Ruan Qiu didn't expect that his parents would be disciples of Zixiao Palace The temple master arranged for someone to engrave the names on the tombstone of his parents. After ten years of wind and rain, the names on the tombstone were still clear.

If the two names Ruan Lingzhao and Gu Lanjun were seen separately in other places, Yin Wuchen would believe that it was a coincidence, but right now...

Yin Wuchen still asked, "Xiaoqiu, is your father Ruan Lingzhao?"

Seeing the change in his expression, Ruan Qiu remembered that he knew the identities of his parents, but he hadn't told his master yet, because Yin Wuchen had met Yan Buping before, and they seemed to be familiar with each other. It was not difficult for Ruan Qiu to think of a The matter, "Master has seen my father?"

It seems so.

Even Yin Wuchen had some subtle thoughts about this coincidence. He didn't want to hide it from Ruan Qiu, and he was also afraid that Ruan Qiu didn't know about it, so he tentatively said: "It would be reasonable if I called your parents seniors. Xiao Qiu can I know, who are your parents?"

In fact, Ruan Qiuruo already knew that after his relatives passed away, it would be the best arrangement for him to go to Zixiao Palace, but he came all the way to Xuanjizong, so Yin Wuchen was not sure.

It is true that Yin Wuchen's conjecture was correct. Ruan Qiu really didn't know about it back then. He saw Yin Wuchen's hesitation, smiled, and explained the truth to him directly, "When I was young, my mother told me that she and my father were just ordinary casual cultivators, and I always I thought so until I relived my life, met Senior Yan again, and learned about the past of Zixiao Palace. I didn’t know that my parents were the disciples of the old sword master in Zixiao Palace. Master, I’m sorry. Forgot to tell you."

Yin Wuchen didn't care about this, he and Ruan Qiu finally connected with each other after two lifetimes, and he would inevitably be negligent in many things before encountering them, and he is not the kind of paranoid person who needs to know everything.Now that Ruan Qiu knew the identities of his parents, Yin Wuchen said bluntly, "I met your parents. When I was 15 years old, I went to the sword test meeting for the first time. It was also that year when I met Yan Buping on the road. ..." He paused for a while, as if there was something unspeakable, he lowered his eyes and said: "Later, the old sword master and my master fell one after another, and Zixiao Palace and Xuanjizong both experienced drastic changes. I have retreated for many years. When I left, There are only two Zixiao five sons left under the seat of the old Sword Saint, and they are the current Zixiao Palace Master Xie Xuanqing and Yan Buping."

Ruan Qiu said: "I have also inquired about some old things about Zixiao Palace. I think maybe because of Song Jingfeng and Momen, my father died and my mother was seriously injured. I don't know why she left Zixiao. I only know that after Song Jingfeng died, my mother came to this small town with her father's ashes. She said that this was the place where she and her father made love, and she rarely mentioned the old things about Zixiao Palace for many years. Afterwards, we followed her last wish and let her be buried with her father."

Yin Wuchen stared at the joint tomb for a while, then gently took Ruan Qiu's hand, "I am not very clear about the past of Zixiao Palace, but I know that Xie Xuanqing and Yan Buping have been waiting for your mother and you to come back all these years. They know that your mother already..." He shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "Actually, Xie Xuanqing and Senior Brother Mo are considered to be of the same generation, and Yan Buping and I are both closed disciples of our respective masters, and are much younger than senior brothers and sisters. Speaking of which, you Parents can also be said to be my predecessors, many years ago, when Yan Buping and I were young, we practiced while looking up at their backs."

Ruan Qiu's eyes lit up, "Really? Master has seen my father, can you tell me what my father looks like?" He was a little distressed, "I am my father's posthumous child, and I have never met him. I heard mother said that father's swordsmanship should be higher than hers!"

"Your father is indeed very strong, no less than Xie Xuanqing, not to mention the five sons of Zixiao personally selected by the old sword master, each of them is a natural genius of swordsmanship, it's a pity..." Yin Wuchen stopped talking, and held his hand Tightening Ruan Qiu's hand, looking at the tombstone, "Don't worry, I will take good care of Ruan Qiu."

Ruan Qiu noticed that Yin Wuchen's expression was extremely serious at the moment, blinked his eyes, bent his lips into a smile, then looked at the names of his parents on the tombstone, and said in his heart: Mom and Dad, this is the person who will spend the rest of my life with me in the future, and also my master. see it?

He thought, when his parents saw his master for the first time, they must have admired him, so they would like him, right?

The two came in a hurry, and after Ruan Qiu talked with his parents for a while, the sky was getting late, and the mountain wind was piercingly chilly, so they went back home. Anyway, they made an appointment to worship again tomorrow. Urgent, but I still feel a little bit sad.

When they went back, Ah Xi and Song Xinting had already rested, Ruan Qiu closed the back door, and went back to the room with Yin Wuchen.At Yin Wuchen's request, they lived in the same room that Ruan Qiu lived in when he was a child.Gu Lanjun's old things are all in Yin Wuchen's hands, Ruan Qiu is relieved, maybe it's because he just saw his parents, and soon fell asleep in the arms of the master contentedly.

Yin Wuchen also listened with relish to Ruan Qiu's story about his childhood, who knew that people's voice became smaller and smaller as they talked, and then fell silent after a while. Finally, seeing the little apprentice's face flushed from sleep, he fell silent. Smiling, he had no choice but to tuck the corner of the quilt, and helplessly stroked the little apprentice's back.

After all, he was young, so he fell asleep and forgot all the troubles.

Yin Wuchen was a little worried. In this way, Xiaoqiu not only had an aunt Cang Yaosheng and a cousin of the emperor, but also had a close relationship with Zixiao Palace. How could those people be easy to deal with?

Xie Xuanqing from Zixiao Palace and Gu Lanyin, the Holy Empress, are all unfathomable people.

Although Ruan Qiu never said that he would go to Zixiao Palace to meet relatives, even if he was a sword master, Yin Wuchen would worry about what he would do if his little apprentice was taken away.

Ruan Qiu unconsciously had a good dream. He dreamed that his father and mother who had never seen him came back to visit him. When he woke up, he hugged the warm quilt and thought about it for a while. Then he realized that the master was gone. He touched the pillow Don't worry until you find the soft finger.

The voice of Song Xinting talking to Ah Xi came from the courtyard. Ruan Qiu quickly washed up. The moment he opened the door, the cold wind blew in. Even though he was wrapped in Master's big cloak, he shrank his neck from the cold, and then A beige dumpling rushed forward.

Ruan Qiu caught it in time, took the fluffy little weasel as a hand warmer, grabbed it in his hand, rubbed it, and went out with a smile to call for someone.

"Brother, Ah Xi."

As soon as Ah Xi told Song Xinting about what happened in Pingcheng earlier, the little weasel ran away. Seeing the little weasel being held in Ruan Qiu's arms and rubbed so that her eyes were dazed, she snorted softly and thought to herself, who made this stupid thing deserve it? Do you have to get into Ruan Qiu's arms?

But it was probably because Ruan Qiu gave it a meal before, and this silly weasel followed them all the time, because it helped find someone in Pingcheng and was seriously injured. Ruan Qiu and A Xi tacitly kept it temporarily, and raised it After seeing it, he refused to leave.

That is to have one more mouth to eat, Ruan Qiu didn't mind, so Ah Xi accepted it.

Because it was agreed yesterday that today she would go up the mountain to pay respects to Ruan Qiu's parents, Ah Xi was looking forward to it now, "Brother Xiaoqiu, you are awake!"

Song Xinting came over as soon as Ruan Qiu left the house. His injury was only a traumatic injury. After taking medicine, he healed overnight. He looked into the room and asked, "Is your master not here? I heard that you are going up the mountain today. To pay homage to Aunt Lan, I will go too."

Song Xinting was also raised by Gu Lanjun, and Ruan Qiu naturally had no objection, and when he mentioned Master, his eyes rolled.The thin boy was wrapped in a cloak, the snow-white down on the brim of the hat made his face soft and beautiful, and a green hosta was slanted in his hair.

"Master has something to do, let's go now." Ruan Qiu thought about the part of the master|The body follows the sword intent to cover the fingers, and it consumes the sword intent when it appears, but as long as the spirit sword is there, the sword intent is not exhausted , What does he do, the master will naturally know if he wants to know.

Knowing that Yin Wuchen was not there, Song Xinting's expression seemed much more relaxed, "I've prepared the incense candles and the best products, and it won't be too late for us to go up the mountain after you have breakfast. I heard that you have been feeling sick in your stomach for a while, maybe it's because of the Bigu Dan. Too much, there is erysipelas in the abdomen, let's eat first."

Axi took over the little weasel. Compared with the awe she had when facing Yin Wuchen, she was obviously much more comfortable in front of Song Xinting, and she got along fairly well. She even said a good word for Song Xinting, "Senior Brother Song got up early in the morning. Staring at the chicken soup that has been boiled for an hour, brother Xiaoqiu, you should try it quickly."

Ruan Qiu just had a bad appetite, and occasionally felt like vomiting when he felt uncomfortable, but he knew his own body best. He was indeed fine, and it was hard to resist Song Xinting's kindness, so he was forced to sit down and drink a bowl of hot soup.Speaking of which, he was still young when he first went to Cangyue Peak, and it was not good for him to eat Bigu Dan. At that time, Song Xinting would take him to the cafeteria outside the door, and occasionally cook by himself. Finally, Ruan Qiu, who was difficult to cultivate at that time, Stretching too much, but ignoring his own cultivation.

Ruan Qiu told Yin Wuchen about these things last night, his brother has done too many things for him, but he is always dragging his brother down.

Yin Wuchen didn't express his opinion when he heard about it. He only hated him for saving Ruan Qiu many years ago in Kek Le Temple and throwing him to a small Taoist temple in a nearby town instead of bringing him back to the sect.It would be great if he brought him back at that time, and raised the disciples himself.

However, if this is the case, Yin Wuchen might not be moved by Ruan Qiu's heart when they reunited in the sect. Speaking of which, at that time, Yin Wuchen thought that day was the first time he and Ruan Qiu met, so he love at first sight.

After breakfast, Ruan Qiu went up the mountain with Song Xinting and Axi. The sun was just right today, and he made up the incense candle sacrifices he forgot last night. Sanxiu also returned to town.

Ruan Qiu was very pleasantly surprised, and also heard that Song Xinting was temporarily staying in the homes of those casual practitioners during this period of time, so he really wanted to visit everyone.

Just in time, Song Xinting wanted to go back to pack up his things and bring them back to the Taoist temple, so he led Ruan Qiu and Ah Xi to visit those old friends.

Those who sent Ruan Qiu to Xuanji Sect back then were a Taoist couple who had been instructed by the temple master and were barely considered students, so they were entrusted by the temple master on his deathbed to send Ruan Qiu to Xuanjizong thousands of miles away. Ruan Qiu got lost on the way, and they spent a lot of effort to find him back, and they still sent him to Xuanjizong steadily all the way.

Ruan Qiu still remembers their names, the couple of casual cultivators, he called them Sange Zhao and Sister Mei when he was young, and some casual cultivator friends they found along the way, but unfortunately only Zhao is in the town at the moment. Sanhe Mei Hanyu and his wife.

Ten years later, the old friends reunited.

Zhao San and his wife both have Jindan cultivation, and their appearance has not changed, but Ruan Qiu has changed too much. They can no longer recognize Ruan Qiu. Qiu Li was very enthusiastic.

If Ruan Qiuji hadn't cared about his master and declined several times, Zhao San and his wife still wanted to hold them back and live in their old house in the town.

Because Tingyun Temple has not been lived in for many years, Zhao San and his wife occasionally go back to the town to clean it, but it is not easy to live there after all.

In the end, Ruan Qiu and the others were forced to return to the Taoist temple with some annual gifts, and they made an appointment to come to them for a New Year's Eve dinner together in a few days.

The habits of Zongmen disciples and casual cultivators are completely different. Most Zongmen disciples have no sense of human festivals, and they have Zongmen rules, and most of them are decent.Loose cultivators are much more unrestrained, there are all kinds of people, and there are also some casual cultivators, such as Zhao San and his wife, who like to make friends with heroes who are righteous and chivalrous, and they also like these fireworks in the world.

After returning to the Taoist temple, Song Xinting and Axi pasted the red paper couplets without waste, adding a bit of fireworks to the Taoist temple. Ruan Qiu's eyes showed a bit of nostalgia. We celebrate New Year together every year.

In a few days, it was New Year's Eve.

In the past few days, Yin Wuchen would only show up at night when Ruan Qiu was alone, and accompany him to sleep.When Song Xinting and Axi, who had gone to Zhao San's house for the New Year's Eve dinner, returned to their rooms after having had some drinks, only Ruan Qiu, who avoided the part of persuading him to drink because of his poor appetite, stood alone in the empty courtyard watching the snow. Suddenly my heart felt a little empty.

The snow tonight was as big as a goose feather, and the branches of the peach trees in the courtyard were broken, and a thick layer of white blanket was spread in the courtyard. The remote Taoist temple can still see the fireworks over the small town market from a distance. , crackling firecrackers one after another.

This is the world of fireworks.

Ruan Qiu didn't drink, and looked up at the fireworks in the sky, and she was a little drunk.

Mostly because Ruan Qiu didn't move, a lot of snow fell on his body, and the jade hairpin in his hair lit up a little, turning into a tall and straight sword cultivator in white, stretching out his hands to wrap around Ruan Qiu's cloak.

"Why don't you go back to your room?"

At this moment, Ruan Qiu only wanted to be hugged by the master, and he did so, wrapping his hands around Yin Wuchen's back, and snuggling into the arms of the master.

"It is said that the auspicious snow heralds a good year, Master, everyone will be safe and sound in the coming year." Ruan Qiu smiled, "But after all, this is the second New Year I have spent with Master. The last time was in my previous life, Master. Your honor sent me to wrap my fingers."

"It really is."

Yin Wuchen felt a little regretful, and gently hugged Ruan Qiu's waist, "The first year you went up the mountain, you were only 17 years old. I didn't realize until after I taught you how to use swords. It's a pity that it was too late to cast the spirit sword, and it happened to be the New Year's Eve of that year when your elder brother handed over the sword to you."

Ruan Qiu said: "That is the best gift I have received since I came to Xuanjizong, and it was made for me by Master himself!"

Yin Wuchen was still a little regretful, his eyes dimmed, and he hugged Ruan Qiu tightly.

In his previous life, before this new year gift was given out, Yin Wuchen did not have this awareness. When the next Spring Festival came, he would search for a way to undo the curse at the foot of the mountain. Ruan Qiu spent New Year’s Eve alone on the mountain. This was also the year before Ruan Qiu. On her 20th birthday, Ruan Qiu died at the hands of Nie Wuhuan.

"Master gave you two New Year's gifts this year, making up for the ones from the previous life?"

Ruan Qiu raised her head in his arms and asked curiously, "What gift?"

Yin Wuchen lowered his head and kissed Ruan Qiu's brow, his eyes were full of tenderness, "I don't know what to give you, you don't seem to lack anything, after much deliberation, I picked some that you might like. Go back and rest first, sleep tomorrow You can see it when you wake up."

This has whetted Ruan Qiu's appetite, but he has always been obedient, no matter how anxious he was, he could only nod lazily, "But I don't want to sleep."

He buried his head on Yin Wuchen's shoulder, grabbed Yin Wuchen's sleeve, sighed abruptly, and said in a muffled voice: "We are having dinner at Brother Zhao and Sister Mei's house today, and their couple once escorted me all the way to Xuanjizong. A few days ago, I told Master that I wanted to repay them, so I secretly told them that I wanted to give them the Creation Pill to help them break through the bottleneck."

Ruan Qiu told Yin Wuchen about this matter, it was Yin Wuchen's idea, and Yin Wuchen gave the Good Fortune Pill as a gift in return.

Yin Wuchen noticed that Ruan Qiu was a little unhappy, so he patted him on the back and asked softly, "Did they not accept the elixir?"

"Yeah." Ruan Qiu looked up at Yin Wuchen, his eyes full of confusion, "San Ge Zhao and Sister Mei said that their cultivation bases are limited by their roots, even if they can break through the bottleneck and form pills through the Creation Pill, the growth will only be limited. Shouyuan, why don't you leave the Creation Pill to me. Master, I don't understand why they refused the opportunity of longevity?"

Yin Wuchen didn't expect that someone would refuse this gift, but he quickly understood and comforted Ruan Qiu: "It's probably because they don't know that you are the apprentice of the Juggernaut, and they are worried that this elixir will bring you trouble. It seems that they are all pure and kind people, maybe we should detour a little bit, or you can tell them your identity to reassure them."

Ruan Qiu shook his head, "I said it." He remembered what the Taoist couple said when they rejected him, and sighed softly: "They said that it is a good thing to be able to go to high places, but ordinary people also have ordinary people's lives. It’s good to live longer, but you have to witness relatives and friends leave one by one. They are contented and happy, and they are already very satisfied to be able to get to this point.”

Yin Wuchen was thoughtful, "Satisfaction is always bliss... yes, there are people in this world who strive for excellence, and there are also people who are willing to be mediocre. Mediocrity is not terrible, but what is terrible is never being satisfied. I think they are both very transparent people. , they don't want to accept these two Good Fortune Pills, so let's exchange them for a gift and give them what they need, what do you think?"

Ruan Qiu was a little hesitant because he didn't know what they needed. After thinking about it carefully, he nodded and agreed, and said, "By the way, Sister Mei said that they will go to Shifang City after the next year and invite friends to travel. , want to go with us."

Yin Wuchen said: "You agreed?"

Ruan Qiu nodded, "Can you?"

Yin Wuchen said happily: "You agreed, how could I refuse?"

It's just that there are many outsiders. During this period of time, it is inconvenient for him to show up during the day. He tightened his hands around Ruan Qiu's waist, and looked at Ruan Qiu, "If you can't sleep, can I ask Master to watch the year with you?"

Ruan Qiu's cheeks were slightly red, and since he had already connected his mind, he did not resist the double cultivation with his master outside the fifteenth day, but when he lowered his eyes and agreed, his lower abdomen suddenly twitched slightly, and he took a deep breath , frowning and covering his belly.

"Well……"

Seeing his pale face, Yin Wuchen couldn't help becoming nervous, "What's wrong?"

After a few slight convulsions, the lower abdomen lost any feeling. Ruan Qiu's tightly locked brows stretched out, and he shook his head in confusion, "It's okay, it may be because I have taken Bigu Dan for too many years, and I often eat with everyone these days. Stomach discomfort."

Yin Wuchen was worried, clasped Ruan Qiu's wrist to check his pulse, and then lightly pressed his hand on Ruan Qiu's lower abdomen. He also didn't notice any problems, but he didn't have the mood to do anything else.

He was always the most nervous about Ruan Qiu's physical condition, so he helped Ruan Qiu back to his room.

"Forget it, go back to your room and rest."

Ruan Qiu was a little disappointed in his heart, but his body was dragging his feet, so he had no choice but to be obedient. He clearly planned to accompany Master to watch the year, but in the end he went to bed early.But he didn't know that he fell asleep leaning against Yin Wuchen's arms as soon as he touched the pillow, which made Yin Wuchen more worried.

In the past few days, is Ruan Qiu a little lethargic?

After Ruan Qiu fell asleep, Yin Wuchen re-diagnosed his pulse with concern, and checked Ruan Qiu's meridian dantian, but found nothing abnormal.If there is anything abnormal, the spiritual power on Ruan Qiu's body will always be sucked away by the ghost beads hidden deep in his body, but it didn't absorb much in the past, and it only slightly delayed Ruan Qiu's progress in cultivation, and there is no change now.

Even so, Yin Wuchen couldn't feel at ease all the time, Xiaoqiu's body was obviously in good shape, so how could he always feel uncomfortable in his stomach?
