——————Continued from Chapter 66.5————————

The next morning.

Amid the soreness all over his body, Qi Ran opened his eyes in a daze.

"Xiao Ran?" The bed curtain was lifted, and in the morning light, Gu Lingxiao's face was full of gentle smiles, "Wake up, I just made breakfast, do you want to eat by the bed, or go outside?"

Qi Ran raised his hand to rub his eyes, but when he raised his arm, he found that even his wrists were covered with sporadic red marks.

"..." The memories of last night all came to mind at once.

Qi Ran blushed, "Gu Lingxiao! Didn't you help me, help me...! Why are these marks still there!"

Gu Lingxiao gently shifted his gaze to another place, and a few blush appeared on his face: "Because... I think it looks good. Does Xiao Ran not like it? Then I will help you get rid of it..."

Qi Ran was speechless and choked, this guy's voice became smaller and smaller, it was clear that he just wanted to keep it for himself.

Seeing that Qi Ran didn't speak, Gu Lingxiao lowered his head and smiled, turned around and grabbed a warm face towel, obviously wanting to serve Qi Ran to wash.

"No, no need, I'll do it myself!" Although Qi Ran's body was a little weak, he was a cultivator, not to the point where he couldn't take care of himself, sat up with his body propped up, and was about to get out of bed.

He was only wearing thin obscene clothes, and when he stood up, he was wrapped in a snow-white cloak.

"Put it on first." Gu Lingxiao came to him, raised his hand and carefully tied the tie.

The distance between the two of them was less than half a foot, and Gu Lingxiao's cold and handsome face, as well as his focused and gentle eyes, were within reach.

Qi Ran pursed his lips, a little unhappy, but also a little happy, and muttered in a low voice: "Does it hurt you to treat me like a daughter-in-law?"

Gu Lingxiao smiled again when he heard the words, held Qi Ran's face in both hands, looked down at him and said: "Why, I am the little wife, serving you."

"Hmph!" Qi Ran rubbed his cheek against Gu Lingxiao's hand, then raised his head and leaned over to peck him, "Liar."

As soon as the words fell, the parted lips touched together again.

The cloak that had just been tied loosened its tie in a gentle coaxing.

Thirty of the twelfth lunar month, early in the morning.

The auspicious snow fell all night, and it just stopped when the morning light broke, leaving only the dazzling white snow all over the mountains and plains, which contrasted with the newly replaced red lanterns, just like what it should look like on New Year's Eve.

"Little Senior Brother!"

"Aww! Yueyue——"

From a distance, Qi Ran recognized Shen Songyue's thin and slender figure, and Xiao Bai also yelled happily, and rushed over with him.

Xiaobai has made rapid progress under Chu Qing's teaching in the past few months, and has steadily reached the early stage of Jindan, and a second big fluffy tail appeared behind him, but he was so proud of it.

As soon as the brakes landed in front of Shen Songyue, Qi Ran jumped off, and Xiao Bai jumped in front of Shen Songyue, laying down on his stomach, his two white tails wagging vigorously, "Yueyue! Yueyue! Look at my tail!"

Shen Songyue was still dressed in black, but her face was no longer as pale as before. When the winter sun fell on his face, that fair and delicate face vaguely had some romantic spirit in the past.

He narrowed his eyes with a smile, knelt down in front of Xiaobai and rubbed its chubby cheeks, "Xiaobai is awesome! The two tails look more majestic."

"Really!" Xiaobai was very happy, buried his head in Shen Songyue's arms and snored vigorously.

Shen Songyue laughed and played with it for a while, Xiaobai turned into a child in the end, hugged Shen Songyue's neck stickily and was hugged in her arms.

"Second Senior Brother and the others arrived last night." Qi Ran and Shen Songyue went to Taiping Peak to guard the sword together, "Brother Bai Ye insists on making lunch with Ling Xiao, and I don't know if we can have lunch at noon."

"Gu Lingxiao can't say for sure, I remember that Bai Ye was...a foodie and a big addict," Shen Songyue laughed when she heard it, "Go and see what he made later, let's leave it all in front of senior brother! —— Huh?"

"What's the matter?" Qi Ran looked up at Shen Songyue, meeting his playful smile.

Qi Ran blushed suddenly, "Little brother——"

"Hey! Xiao Ran has really grown up." Shen Songyue sighed and shook her head, but she couldn't hide the smile in her eyes, "Is that method called Liangyi... what is Liangyi? The dual cultivation skills of both realms—"

"Ah yes! Little brother, do you need it? I'll ask Ling Xiao to give you a copy later," Qi Ran couldn't resist Shen Songyue's knowingly asking, and quickly stopped him, "There's more! So what...the inner sect here is here. There are quite a few children who are quite insightful in the way of swordsmanship, so you should take the time to have a look this afternoon!"

Shen Songyue changed the subject from being kind, and when he mentioned Miao Zi who was practicing swords, his eyes lit up, "Really? Then let's ask senior brother to go and have a look together. If there is something suitable, let's put it in the Jiange."

The name Taiping Jianzong and the establishment of Jiange were previously discussed with Shen Songyue and Bai Shu.

Their biggest goal now, apart from improving their cultivation and gaining the ability to avenge Chaoyin Xuanzhen as soon as possible, is to accept disciples.

However, the core inheritance of the Sword Sect must be understood by geniuses, and they couldn't spend a lot of time traveling and searching like Yundeng used to. It happened that Gu Lingxiao's skills did not conflict with Kendo. That day Gu Lingxiao proposed Taiping Sword Sect and Jiange When looking at the mechanism, all of them were stunned.

Shen Songyue even sold out her prejudice against Gu Lingxiao. To put it bluntly, Jianzong himself has nothing to do with Gu Lingxiao. He is willing to do this for Qi Ran, and even has a little intention of making wedding dresses for them. Qi Ran was placed first.

Soon the two arrived at Qi Ran's courtyard on the main peak. Bai Shu was sitting under the plum tree eating melon seeds with Chu Qing and Xuan Jing. White smoke came out from the kitchen, and the smell wafted into the courtyard, but it was really a bit of a smell. Choking nose.

Chu Qing and Xuan Jing are actually not difficult to get along with each other on weekdays. They chased Xiao Bai all day long, and their whole heart was only a silly grandpa with his grandson. The confused disciples couldn't relax.

Shen Songyue went over to greet Chu Qing and Xuan Jing, and then sat down together and began to eat melon seeds. By the way, she took out several packages of pastries, large and small, and greeted everyone: "Bought from the human world, try it and put it on the mat." Stomach, the smell of the kitchen makes me feel... maybe there is nothing to eat at noon."

Bai Shu burst out laughing, "I went to see it just now, Ling Xiao-jun is actually pretty good at cooking, Bai Ye is just pure--worse ingredients, Songyue, don't you know how to cook? How about I Get him out."

"I just fool the kids when I cook." Shen Songyue looked at Qi Ran and said with a smile, "Xiao Ran couldn't tell the taste from bad when I was a child. Ever since I went out to taste other meals, she never wanted to eat my food again. The dishes are ready."

"Little brother, you only put salt in the seasoning." Qi Ran still remembers it very clearly, "and every time besides roasting, it is boiled, let alone me, Xiaobai refused to eat it afterwards."

At this moment, Xiaobai was pulling on the door frame of the kitchen to look in. The child was wearing a fluffy winter coat, the color was specially selected by Chu Qing in bright red, with a round back, like a little boy in a painting, listening to Qi Ran Mentioning him, he blinked his eyes and turned his head: "Oh?"

Chu Qing was cute again, put down the melon seeds and walked to Xiaobai's side, bent down and took his hand: "Xiaobai is here to eat cakes, here is Xunxun!"

Xuan Jing also opened a bag of glutinous rice balls, and shook at Xiaobai: "Xiaobai, look at this, does it look like you?"

"It's not like~ Xiaobai is not chubby!" said the chubby Xiaobai.

Several people were amused and laughed.

Gu Lingxiao brought dishes one by one to the table, all of which were of the highest quality, but Bai Ye swaggered and displayed them in strange shapes, but fortunately he still had some self-knowledge, so he put them all in front of him, "Ahem! It doesn't look good, but the taste is... all good! Don't worry about me, I just like this kind of food!"

Bai Shu smiled helplessly, "Okay, sit down quickly, Ling Xiaojun can cook enough for himself, you and I won't be hungry."

Qi Ran was lucky enough to sit directly opposite Bai Ye, so he didn't have to face the tragic dishes, stood up with a smile and poured wine for them one by one, and Xiao Bai's cup was also filled with a cup of plum sweet dew.

As the oldest person in the room, Chu Qing was pushed to hold up the wine glass. He blinked his eyes and smiled: "I was born in the mountains, I don't read much, and I can't think of anything good, so I wish you all the best!" You can all get what you want, and the road ahead is open!"

After drinking the sake, Qi Ran closed his eyes forcefully.

Gu Lingxiao added wine for him, and asked softly: "What's the matter?

Qi Ran looked up at him, smiled and shook his head, "The sun is so bright today, I rolled my eyes."

Most of the cultivators in the world are no longer greedy for fireworks in the world, but they seem to have bumped into each other by chance. They have passed the time, experienced a few winds and rains, and there are thousands of unknowns and unpredictables in the road ahead, and it is hard to get together for a moment.

The breeze blew, and the fragrant plum fragrance by the wall was sent to the banquet. There were bursts of laughter in the rare and lively small courtyard, and the blessing characters were pasted on the window lattices. Accompanied by the red lanterns, they were reflected in the warm winter sun. A soft glow.

As the setting sun was about to fall, Shen Songyue got up and said goodbye.

Qi Ran sent him to the gate of the mountain, but he was still a little reluctant, "Little brother, can you really stay for a few days?"

Shen Songyue raised her hand and scratched the tip of his nose, her smile was soft and gentle, "The demonic realm is too turbulent, I really can't leave it for too long, and... Today is also Ji Zhaohan who came to help me temporarily sit in town, he, every year rushes Stay by my side on New Year's Eve, I really can't let him 'guard the empty room' tonight."

Qi Ran lowered his head and kicked the snow under his feet, muttering: "Well, it is indeed time to go back."

"They're all married, why are you still like a child?" Shen Songyue pinched Qi Ran's face and teased, "Go back and watch over your wife, I didn't expect it, she's so talented True Monarch Ling Xiao is so virtuous that he washes his hands and makes soup, if word gets out, no one in the whole world will believe it."

Qi Ran smiled, before Shen Songyue could tell something was wrong.

"Is there something on your mind?" Shen Songyue asked him gently, "Are you worried that you won't be able to walk with him all the time?"

My little senior brother is really—as always, terribly sensitive.

Qi Ran didn't know what to say, what two years and 12 years, he guessed from the original plot, but any theory that suspected of leaking the plot was banned by the system, he could only rely on the fact that Shen Songyue and the others had already seen it. He said: "Little senior brother, I... can't help but worry that if some day there is a chance against the heavens, Ling Xiao will... really have to leave."

"Xiao Ran, getting together and parting, we have experienced a lot." Shen Songyue's gaze was like clear and gentle spring water in the afterglow of the setting sun, "cherish the present moment, do everything you can do with all your heart, and leave no regrets Just fine."

"No regrets..." Qi Ran murmured, his eyes turned slightly red, "But I always feel that I have too many regrets."

Shen Songyue raised her hand and gently wiped the corners of Qi Ran's eyes, "Because you are our Xiao Ran, you are so kind, you are obviously smart, but you can't help being soft-hearted. It's okay, although life is like a journey against the sky, but we are swordsmen. Xiu, with the sword in hand, fearless and fearless, what supports us to forge our bones and muscles day and night, isn't it precisely because we know that our destiny is indisputable, but we still have to fight until the last moment?"

Qi Ran fell silent.

All kinds of life flashed through his mind.

Everything was fixed again on the night when the sea of ​​flames filled the sky, when he thought everything was shattered and burned, Shen Songyue abolished all his cultivation alone, ruined the spirit sword of his life, and threw away the Songyue Sword that was famous all over the world. Jun's arrogance followed that Demon Lord to the Demon Realm, at the bottom of despair and sorrow, all came back.

His little brother, nothing can bring him down.

It's okay for him to ignite.

Qi Ran sniffed, and smiled again at Shen Songyue: "Okay! I understand! I——will work hard, little brother."

"Okay," Shen Songyue rubbed his head with a smile, "We Xiao Ran are no longer children, and this is probably the only thing your little brother can teach you... Go back, that kid Gu Lingxiao I'm afraid we'll have to wait a long time."

Qi Ran nodded obediently, "Yes! So do you, little brother."

Shen Songyue laughed and waved at him, "Okay, okay, let's go!"

Watching Shen Songyue's back disappear into the sky in the setting sun, Qi Ran also turned around and walked towards the white-capped Cangshan Mountain with his sword Lingfeng.

A year and a half later, midnight on the sixth day of June.

On the border of Mofo, twenty miles southwest of Linsang County, adjacent to the flourishing Taiping Sword Sect, a rosy light suddenly appeared at night, attracting the attention of the whole world.

At that time, the world was in chaos, and even the border between the righteous and the devil was blurred, and the lords were vying for the throne. Originally, the demon and the Buddha were indifferent to the dispute. Can no longer stay out of it.

On June [-]th of the same year, when a large number of people quietly gathered outside Linsang County to find out if it was really the birth of an ancient artifact, a strange ancient aura also leaked from the extreme north, the legendary place where the sky was cracked.

The aura in the ancient times is so rare, but the aura in the place where the sky is cracked is rich, but the aura is strange and vague.

After the elders of the Mojimen went to observe it, they asserted that the legendary sky-filling stone also existed, and cracks had already appeared, and the breath was only leaked today. There is also an ancient cave in the sky-filling stone. The great power in the cave saw the opportunity of coming to the world, and just let the breath leak, so as to guide people from all over the world to come to find the opportunity.

The small Linsang County was bustling several times overnight, and there were also a large number of treacherous people and horses on the frozen and barren snowfield in the extreme north.

At the end of June, in the center of Linsang County, Miaochan Tea House.

This tea house originally focused on the elegant environment and quiet private rooms, and the price of vegetarian tea and food is high. In the past, there were few people in the shop, but in recent days, it is full every day.

The population of Buddhism is actually not small. Most of the people are good men and women who have worshiped Buddha for generations. For them, Buddhist cultivators are respected and respected monks who have been loved by the Buddha. Demon cultivators and so on, even though Linsang County is located on the border, they are not seen much.

The shopkeeper is so busy these days that he can't find any manpower, he really wants to close the business behind closed doors, but because the guests who come here are all very generous, so he bites the bullet and stays stunned every day, trying his best to keep the business going .

"Master, female hero, there is only the innermost room left in the private room, which is a bit narrow. If you two mind, you can change to the lobby." The shopkeeper smiled and said to the monk and the well-dressed woman in front of him.

Jue Chen gave a salute to the shopkeeper, and said, "The private room is fine, please prepare four cups of tea, shopkeeper."

"Hey, okay, I'll deliver it to you right away." The shopkeeper slid down.

Jue Chen and Mo Qianxun looked at each other, and entered the private room calmly.

The two of them have been followed for seven days.

Based on their cultivation at the early Yuanying stage, and they traveled all the way from the capital of the Buddhist kingdom to the border, and dared to keep up with it for a full seven days without showing their feet, the most likely ones were Buddhist monks above the stage of transformation.

Mo Qianxun said to Jue Chen in a natural tone: "Mr. Qi Ran and Mr. Ling Xiao told you how long it will take to arrive?"
