After being pulled up by the master

Xue Wendi has been restless these days.

Because of Swift, he was influenced by that child all the time.When the other party is awake, they can still live in peace; once the other party falls into a dream, the demonic energy in his body is difficult to suppress, thick fog rises in the barrier, and Xue Wendi is also involved in his nightmare.

In the dream, a blood moon hung high, dyeing half of the dome red.He was running among the buildings that were constantly collapsing, the flames were flying, and there were wailing and painful creatures everywhere.He climbed up the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood, stepped over piles of bones, and staggered towards the highest point.Pushing open the door of the hall, his foot slipped, and he rolled out a long way. When he looked up again, he saw a giant black python biting the leftover half of the person, coiled on the beam, and slowly swimming towards him.

The person bitten by the giant python has been half-swallowed, a head hangs on the neck, and the bun is all loose, crumbling.

Xue Wendi's eyes widened.

In an instant, the remaining half of the body was also swallowed by the giant python.An obvious human figure arched under the scales, and Xue Wendi broke out in a cold sweat.

He woke up suddenly, on the blue rock, he was the only one.

The weather was warm and the sun was shining brightly, but he only felt cold all over.

Sun Xuehua came back first, and when he saw this, he put his two fingers together to dispel the nightmare for him.

Xue Wendi was still in a daze, and even forgot to say thank you. Sun Xuehua sat next to him: "Things are getting closer."

"En." Xue Wendi rubbed the center of his brows, and then his mind turned around a little. Sun Xuehua gave him a few pieces of candy, but said nothing.

I don't know what the candy is made of, and it tastes sweet. Xue Wendi sucked it for a while, and felt that the aura in his body became much smoother.

The two sat silently for a long time before Sun Xuehua said, "Maybe you will have to work hard for a while."

"I know."

Another moment of silence.

Sun Xuehua seems to have something on his mind, but he has always been reticent, and he is still the same now.Xue Wendi glanced at him, and the candy in his mouth gradually melted, exuding a bitter taste.

"It's medicine."

He said.

"Elder Lu did it." Sun Xuehua quickly jumped off the Qingyan, and left with his sword in his hands.

He walked very slowly, alone, with a sword, Xue Wendi watched him go away, and suddenly shouted: "Xiaoxue, have you encountered any difficulties?"

Sun Xuehua turned slightly and glanced at him from a distance, a bamboo leaf blew in the wind and fell on Xue Wendi's palm.

"No."

It was written on the bamboo leaf.

In fact there is.

He was found when he was looking for the saber, and was taken to Zhiyang Palace for questioning.Sun Xuehua stood on top of the empty hall, looking down at his own shadow elongated on the ground, feeling a little lonely for no reason.He just asked a few senior brothers and sisters a few words about what happened five years ago, and he was brought to the head of the sect. Now, it takes two hours to stand.

At that time, the head of Linyuan was old, his beard and hair were all white, and he was only one step away from attaining Taoism and ascension.He has been in charge of Linyuan for many years and has countless disciples, but he chose the 14-year-old Sun Xuehua as his successor.

It's not that there were no objections, and it's not that he was excluded, but Sun Xuehua didn't care, and those rumors naturally couldn't hurt him.

But right now, I feel so lonely.

The master came late.

He walked down the high steps step by step, and the old voice kept echoing in the hall: "Xiaoxue, I heard that you are looking for a sword, is that true?"

"Yes."

Sun Xuehua did not refute, two hours had already explained Master's attitude.He didn't even have the slightest anger of being betrayed or unwilling to be punished.He just felt lost.

"Remember, as a teacher, I once warned you not to interfere in this matter."

"The disciple remembers."

"Then why do you still commit crimes knowingly?"

Sun Xuehua didn't answer right away, he had many reasons to say, he thought the matter was quite strange, but the head didn't want him to investigate, so it would be pointless to argue any more; he thought that child was very pitiful, and he wanted to help him; he had already Pulling Gu Qing and Xue Wendi to wade through the muddy water together, there is absolutely no reason to retreat first...

"Disciple, I want to follow my heart, just ask for a clear conscience."

Thousands of words, thousands of words, when they are spoken from the mouth, they become scenes.

Sun Xuehua lowered her head slightly.

The white-haired old man looked at him, his deep eyes seemed to burn a hole in his soul: "Xiaoxue, don't be too close to Xue Wendi from now on. You are already my sword in Linyuan, and many things should be divided. Which one is more important? You promised me three years ago that you would not pursue the child's affairs, and you got involved again three years later. Tell me honestly, is it related to Xue Wendi? Is it because he wants to pursue it, so you help him of?"

"No."

Sun Xuehua categorically denied it.

"Whether it is or not, it must be in the future."

A trace of surprise flashed across Sun Xuehua's face, he even suspected that the sect leader hadn't heard clearly, and repeated again: "Master, I'm going to do it myself."

The headmaster said again: "Xiaoxue, you are the most valued disciple of Master, you are a once-in-a-century genius, you will definitely become the leader of the Righteous Way in the future, and lead me to Linyuan to the peak of the Righteous Way, do you understand?"

Sun Xuehua's shoulders trembled slightly. He clenched his fists and tried to calm himself down: "Master, are you trying to tell this disciple that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers?"

"You just understand."

"I don't understand." There seemed to be a crack on Sun Xuehua's iceberg-like face, and sadness flowed out of that crack continuously. He seemed to have a premonition that he would hear something, but he didn't want to listen.

But the head of the sect is still talking: "Suochungu will keep me for a while, and Linyuan will be suppressed for a while. Xue Wendi is about the same age as you, and has the same strength. He will definitely be your formidable opponent in the future. As a teacher, I know you can't bear it. I won't force you, but you can no longer communicate with him, you should stop it, and you will be disturbed by him."

"Xiaolou and I are friends." Sun Xuehua half closed his eyes, as if he could hide those sorrows, "I treat him as a close friend, as a confidant."

"Nonsense!" The head was furious, his beard and eyebrows were shaking, he was too old, he needed a qualified successor, not a little kid who was still talking about feelings and loyalty with him.

"The righteous way in the world can only be supported by me in Linyuan! Suochungu has avoided the world for many years, how much has it done for this righteous way? What qualifications does it have to keep pace with my Linyuan?"

"The leader is nothing more than a false name." Sun Xuehua responded softly, and was punished firmly by the leader.

When the ruler hit him on the shoulder, Sun Xuehua was obviously taken aback.

Since he entered the mountain gate, he had never tasted the taste of a ruler, and now there was a loud sound, as if it was not his shoulder, but his face, or his heart.When the hot feeling came from behind, his face was also hot and his heart was trembling.

For a moment, he didn't know the master in front of him whom he had respected since childhood.

In the end, the old man didn't make things difficult for him. After three blows, he asked him to go back and face the wall to think about his mistakes.

Sun Xuehua left and walked alone.He went to the speculative hall first, but did not see Gu Qing, but the owner of the hall gave him a few candies, saying that he would take them to share with his friends.

Sun Xuehua looked at that amiable senior, who just pursed his lips and smiled lightly, without saying much.

"Thank you, the curator."

Sun Xuehua said goodbye, walked outside the hall, turned around suddenly, and saw the man leaning against the door looking at him with gentle eyes.

Sun Xuehua didn't say anything, he thought that the curator Lu should also know the cause and effect, so he came to coax him.

But he doesn't like sweet food, even if it contains healing medicine.

He gave all the candies to Xue Wendi, and when he left, the man asked him, "Xiaoxue, are you in trouble?"

"No problem."

Sun Xuehua is just a little sad, this kind of sadness is hard to describe, whether it is Gu Qing or Xue Wendi.

At night, he went back to the pine forest and bamboo sea alone, and sat quietly on the blue rock.

Xue Wendi fell down with the evening wind.

Sun Xuehua did not respond.

They meditate separately as usual, the moonlight is mottled, the maple leaves are flourishing, like umbrellas and covers.

"Where I live, there is a big pear tree, and there is a rock under the tree. My master likes to sit on it." Xue Wendi said softly.

"En." Sun Xuehua still had his eyes closed.

"Linyuan is really big." Xue Wendi didn't say a word, "Your master is about the same age as my master, and so are we."

Sun Xuehua suddenly asked him: "I heard that the owner of Suochun Valley has always accepted only one apprentice, is that true?"

"Yes, I am the only seedling."

"Then what if you can't return to the valley, what will your master do? Will the inheritance of Suochun Valley be broken?"

"My master should accept another one."

Sun Xuehua remained silent.

Xue Wendi looked up at the maple tree and the moonlight on the top of the tree. He murmured: "Xiaoxue, although I don't know what happened to you, I hope you will be happier. If there is anything I need to do, Just tell me."

Sun Xuehua remained silent.

The evening wind blew, the branches and leaves rustled, Xue Wendi seemed to hear a very soft "um", but when he looked at Sun Xuehua, the other party was as silent as water.

They were tight-lipped about the day's events.

Sun Xuehua was still looking for the sword, Gu Qing was still immersed in the speculative hall, and Xue Wendi gradually became familiar with the child in the secret room.

"My name is Xiaoyu, and I am eight years old this year."

"You are 13 years old, and it has been five years since you came to Yuanyuan."

Xue Wendi explained patiently, Xiaoyu was a little sad: "It's been so long?"

"Ah."

Xue Wendi comforted him, "You still look like you are eight years old now, probably because of the locks on your hands and feet, which suppress all your strength, so you can't grow up."

"I tried to unlock it, but it didn't work."

The little fish shook the iron chain on his hand. The piece of skin was worn away and then grew, and then it grew and was worn away again and again. The piece of skin was raised like a fish scale, which was ugly.Fortunately, it was dark in the secret room, so Xue Wendi didn't see clearly.

"You are very powerful, that's why they use such strong restraints." Xue Wendi thought of the devilish energy scattered when he fell asleep, and suddenly realized a question, "Does the fog outside have anything to do with you?"

"I don't know, since I was born, there is often fog around me."

Xue Wendi thought for a moment, then suddenly flew up, landed on his shoulders, stretched his wings and touched his neck - it was full of slippery fish scales.

"The fog outside is formed by your own demon energy. You seem to be unable to control power."

Xue Wendi thought that every time he fell asleep, he would be brought into his nightmare, so he wanted to sigh, "I'll teach you? Do you want to learn?"

"it is good."

Xiaoyu nodded, and Xue Wendi struggled to write the formula in his palm. While writing, the other party smiled: "Itchy."

Xue Wendi wanted him to endure it, but it was hard to stop after writing the formula halfway.After finally finishing writing, Xiaoyu blurted out: "My aunt taught me this thing."

"Ok?"

"She taught me, and I learned, but it's strange, I can't control it."

"This formula can be used by immortals and demons, so it shouldn't work."

"Then I don't know." Xiaoyu touched his head and suddenly asked, "What do you look like?"

"Me?" Xue Wendi thought for a while, "I'm handsome, everyone who has met me says I'm handsome."

The little fish was silent.

Xue Wendi was very strange, until he heard the other party ask sullenly: "Then you will play with me, an ugly monster? When I was in Night City, I was also locked in a very tall building. It's too ugly, and it would embarrass my father if I took it out to meet people."

"How can a father despise his son's ugliness? There is something wrong with your father."

Xue Wendi thought of the man-eating python he saw in his dream, and felt terrified, unable to choose what to say.

As soon as the words were finished, Xiaoyu put him down, spread out the palm of his right hand, and a cluster of tiny blue flames lit up.

The barrier glowed with golden light, and thunder and lightning roared, lighting up the entire secret room in an instant.The chains on Xiaoyu's hands and feet tightened in an instant, and the cluster of small flames went out.

Darkness fell again.

"Did you see clearly?"

Xiaoyu was obviously in pain, panting, Xue Wendi was stunned, and when he realized what he was doing, he rushed over and pecked the tip of his nose hard.

"Woo, what are you doing?" Xiaoyu covered his nose and hid back in pain. Xue Wendi landed on him and scratched: "Are you crazy? Just to let me see your face, ruining yourself like this? In case the guards are called, what will you do? Would you be happy if you get hurt all over your body?"

"They won't come. I tried to escape when I first woke up, but I couldn't escape. This kind of movement can't attract them. Don't be angry." Xiaoyu was very wronged, and shrank back to the corner again. Xue Wendi stopped, nestled on his shoulder and neck and did not move.

"Not allowed next time."

"it is good."

Xue Wendi asked again: "Did it hurt you?"

"No, I'm just afraid that you will get angry and won't play with me in the future."

Xiaoyu still shrank, but Xue Wendi remained silent.

In just a moment of light, he saw the whole appearance of this person.

There are silvery-white scales on both sides of Xiaoyu's cheeks, shaped like a dancing butterfly. His eyes are beautiful, and the light-colored pupils shine like pearls.The fog outside seemed to be a vast sea, and he was a free fish in the sea.

Xue Wendi sighed: "You are a beautiful fish, be confident."

"I want to be as handsome as you."

"Handsome and good-looking mean the same thing."

"Oh."

The little fish gradually relaxed, and Xue Wendi asked him again: "Then will you grow a fish tail?"

"I only have to turn into fish or have scales on my body, but I haven't grown a fish tail yet."

Xue Wendi didn't know why, but was a little disappointed: "I heard that there are sharks outside the South China Sea, weeping and crying, I was thinking, if you can grow a tail, you should look like a shark."

Xiaoyu pondered for a moment: "If you want to see it, I can try it."

Xue Wendi was startled: "You're fine."

"My dream is to be a good person." Xiaoyu smiled, "It's also my mother's wish."

Xue Wendi was disappointed: "If you weren't the son of the devil, your situation might be much better than it is now."

"I am my aunt's son. My aunt is very gentle. I don't regret being born in this world." Xiaoyu chatted with him again, "Where are your parents?"

"I entered the valley when I was very young." Xue Wendi chatted with him a lot. "When I first held a sword, I was no taller than a table. My master taught me by hand."

They chatted for a long time until late at night.

Xue Wendi entered Xiaoyu's dream again.

Only this time, in the vast sea, he saw the reflection of the green hills and the floating clouds.

He knows that Xiaoyu yearns for freedom.

Three days later, Gu Qing walked over with a stack of booklets, eyes darkened: "Senior Brother, Xiaolou, I found Xiaoyu's mother."

Sun Xuehua took the stack of books and stretched out his hand: "Come up."

Gu Qing grabbed him top-heavy, and struggled to climb up the blue rock, with a dazed expression: "It is said in the disciple list that she went out to subdue demons, and unfortunately died."

She opened half of them, and pressed the name circled by her: "But, that was already 20 years ago."

Xue Wendi looked at her and handed her a water bag. Gu Qing shook his head with a bitter expression on his face: "It's too scary, I'm going to be scared to death."

"What about the rest?"

"The rest are all given to me by Master Lu. He said, senior brother, you must know what he means." Gu Qing said, and lay down directly, "I can't do it, I'm so sleepy, I'll sleep for a while .”

"Go to sleep, junior sister, senior brother is here."

Gu Qing mumbled an "um" and fell asleep.
