After being pulled up by the master

Early the next morning, Sun Xuehua went to ask the shopkeeper to help him cook some bowls of longevity noodles, with some extra silver.The shopkeeper didn't accept it, saying it was a thank-you gift to several Taoist leaders, after repeated concessions, Sun Xuehua didn't insist.He woke up the earliest, but as usual, Xue Wendi should also wake up now, and they will do morning exercises together.

Could it be that something went wrong again last night?

Thinking of that fish, he felt uneasy, walked to the door quietly, and knocked lightly on the door.Xiaoyu was a light sleeper, and woke up when he heard the first sound. When he moved slightly, he found that Xue Wendi was holding a strand of his hair.His heart trembled, and he closed his eyes tightly again.Xue Wendi quickly opened his eyes. Seeing that he was still awake, he got out of bed lightly and went outside the house.

"What's wrong?" He was sleepy and still confused, Sun Xuehua asked softly: "Did I disturb you?"

"No." Xue Wendi shook his head, "It's getting late, I overslept."

"No accident last night?" Sun Xuehua asked again.

Xue Wendi reacted for a while before he came back to his senses completely. He replied: "Xiaoyu turned back into a human body last night, but it's strange that the demon energy hasn't leaked out."

Sun Xuehua pondered for a moment, then said: "He should have grown up a bit."

Xue Wendi thought for a while: "He is a little taller than when he was in the village. But, does the control of power have anything to do with this?"

"Maybe it has something to do with monsters." Sun Xuehua speculated.

Xue Wendi nodded, and the other party asked again: "What about others? Still sleeping?"

"Ah."

"It's time to get up and practice." Sun Xuehua looked at his friend quietly, "Go and wake him up, I'll wait for you in the yard."

Xue Wendi paused: "Start practicing today? Or tomorrow, I'm afraid he just recovered and his body won't be able to take it."

Sun Xuehua was silent and agreed.Xue Wendi smiled: "You wait for me, I'll go down right away."

"Today is your birthday." Sun Xuehua took out a string of indigo-colored jade beads from his bosom, "Birthday congratulations, I gave it to you with Ah Qing."

That jade bead is crystal clear, moist in texture, very comfortable to hold in the palm, it can't be said to be top-notch, but it is also a good product, presumably it was Sun Xuehua who brought it with him when he left Linyuan, it is rare in the world of mortals.

Xue Wendi's eyes were full of spring breeze: "Thank you."

He is very happy.

The corner of Sun Xuehua's mouth only slightly raised a small arc. If you don't look carefully, you can't even find that he is smiling: "No thanks."

After saying that, he turned around and went downstairs, saying lightly, "Come down early, your face will be healed soon."

"Okay." Xue Wendi leaned on the railing to watch him walk away before returning to the house.I thought about letting Xiaoyu sleep for a while, but the other party has already woken up and is clumsily tying his hair.

Xue Wendi walked over and said softly, "Let me help you."

Xiaoyu turned his head and stared at him blankly for a while, as if he hadn't woken up, but also seemed to have a lot to say.But in the end, he just pursed his lips, lowered his eyes and lowered his eyebrows: "Okay."

Xue Wendi smiled: "Practice makes perfect, this time it will work."

"Ah."

Small fish are still cramped.

He heard the entire conversation between Xue Wendi and Sun Xuehua, although they were very quiet and didn't want to wake him up, but today, he heard it very clearly, the power contained in his body seemed to be growing continuously, like a seed that broke out of the ground, In just a few hours, it germinates and grows leaves until it grows into a towering tree.

Xiaoyu opened his palm, the blood was red and hot.The strength is tumbling, and the mood is also ups and downs.

He was in a daze, Xue Wendi had already tied his hair up.

"Look, isn't it good?"

The other party asked him with a smile, Xiaoyu looked at himself in the glasses, but only noticed the hairband on his head, which seemed to be the same as Xue Wendi.

He was speechless for a moment.

Xue Wendi patted him on the shoulder: "Wash up first, then let's eat noodles."

"Okay." Xiaoyu nodded hesitantly.

When they went downstairs and sat down at the dining table, Gu Qing and Sun Xuehua were already waiting.The shopkeeper specially added an extra egg to Xue Wendi's bowl of noodles, and also placed seven or eight small dishes of crispy bamboo shoots, sauced meat, soy milk, dried shredded noodles, etc., which looked very rich.

Xue Wendi's birthday celebrations used to be very simple, almost no different from ordinary days. This year is the first time that he is outside the valley, surrounded by two or three friends, and he is also happy in his heart.He put the jade beads that Sun Xuehua gave him on his wrist, and said with a smile that he was not used to it, so he could only wear it for a long time.Gu Qing answered, and said in a crisp voice: "Indigo is used for blessings in our Linyuan, like the fringes of our evil spirit transmission bells, which are made of indigo."

Xue Wendi became interested: "Xiaoxue's sword tassel is also indigo."

"Senior brother Xiaoxue is a sword wielder, that's why he wears the indigo sword tassel, so that other disciples who are not familiar with him will know that he is a senior brother who wields a sword." Gu Qing said, complacent, "Also, brother Xiaoxue's sword The sides of the robe are embroidered with plain carp, and mine are embroidered with red pistil and white plum, both of which are exquisite. We are near the Qingjiang River, and carp is also a symbol of good fortune in our place."

When Xiaoyu heard this, his hand holding the chopsticks froze slightly.

He missed Auntie.

At this very moment, as if at the moment when Gu Qing finished his last sentence, his longing was like a river breaking its embankment, breaking down his precarious high wall called toughness.

Xue Wendi held his other hand without speaking.

Seeing this, Gu Qing quickly said: "Xiaoyu, your mother must wish you happiness, so don't be too sad."

Xiaoyu shook his head: "I'm fine."

Today is Xiaolou's birthday, he can't cry.

He held Xue Wendi's hand tightly, and after a while, he let go only after the moisture in his eyes receded and the redness of the eye sockets was no longer red.

Sun Xuehua suddenly said: "It has improved compared to before, and it is worthy of praise."

Gu Qing was taken aback for a moment before he understood what he was referring to, and immediately couldn't laugh or cry: "Senior brother! You eat yours!"

Sun Xuehua still looked indifferent, Xue Wendi couldn't help laughing, and whispered to Xiaoyu: "I know why you are afraid of him, I would be afraid of him too."

"He, he's fine."

Now Xiaoyu stammered and defended his cheap uncle, Xue Wendi smiled softly, then frowned suddenly: "Someone is watching us outside."

Sun Xuehua also noticed a pair of eyes outside the hall, and just as he held the sword, a familiar figure hung upside down from the beam, his disheveled hair almost being dragged onto the dining table.Gu Qing stood up suddenly: "What are you doing! Let's eat!"

"It smells so good, I want to eat it too."

The other party asked with a shy face, Gu Qing was very angry: "Your hair is almost stained in the bowl, how can you eat it?"

"It's easy!"

Shi Gu turned over cleanly and fell down, and sat firmly next to Xiaoyu. The other party was startled, and shrank towards Xue Wendi.

"Huh, you've grown so big?" Shi Gu was a little surprised, and stretched out his hand to pinch his face, "The last time I saw you, you were still in your original body. I thought you wouldn't be able to recover in a year or so!"

His strikes were neither light nor heavy, Xiao Yu was in pain from being pinched, one of them couldn't hold back, and raised his hand to hit the back of his hand.

Shi Gu withdrew his hand immediately, hey yo yelled, "Why are you so strong?"

"You're so strong, you've already been pinched purple by him!" Xue Wendi saw two bruised and purple fingerprints on Xiaoyu Cibai's face, he was furious, and his voice was much higher than usual.He embraced the person, feeling distressed: "Does it hurt?"

The little fish shook his head.

Shi Gu was speechless: "I haven't seen you in two months, my temper is good!"

Xue Wendi suppressed the fire: "Apologize to him."

"Why? He hit me too and didn't apologize to me."

"It was you who moved first."

"I'm expressing my love for him, understand?"

Shi Gu didn't take it seriously, Xue Wendi frowned: "I don't understand, I don't allow it!"

Shi Gu narrowed his eyes slightly, then laughed out loud.Sun Xuehua asked him: "Senior, why did you come here this time?"

"Can't I come if I have nothing to do?" Shi Gu glanced at the dishes on the table, "I'll help you deal with the aftermath anyway, why don't you treat me to dinner?"

Sun Xuehua said in a deep voice: "It's right to invite you to dinner, but today is Xiaolou's birthday, please restrain yourself and don't make him angry."

"Then what if I mess it up?"

"Crack", Sun Xuehua pinned He Guang on the table.

"Tsk," Shi Gu looked at him, shook his head again and again, and said with a smile, "A good guy doesn't suffer from immediate losses. I admit my mistake. How about sharing half of the table with me, my friends?"

"It's easy to say." Sun Xuehua put away his sword, and went to ask the shopkeeper for an extra bowl of noodles.

The rest of the people had no objection, Xue Wendi let Xiaoyu sit on the other side of him, separating him from the unexpected guest, Shi Gu glanced at him, but smiled and said nothing.

Gu Qing doesn't like giving advice very much, and thinks this person is glib and unreliable.But since that day, when they ate Xiaolou's longevity noodles together, Shi Gu has been following them like a piece of dog skin plaster, disappearing from time to time, and suddenly reappearing.Sometimes it was by the bridge during the day, sometimes it was when the boat was moored at night, and sometimes it was at the dawn of their departure, Shi Gu, reeking of alcohol, collapsed on the roof of the carriage they were riding in.

Gu Qing quietly said to Sun Xuehua: "Brother, why does this person always follow us?"

"I don't know, but after he followed us, there were a lot fewer people around us watching us." Sun Xuehua could sense these changes, and so could Xue Wendi, so he didn't object to Shigu following them.

But why?

Xue Wendi is already 14 years old, and there are still many things she can't figure out.

He taught Xiaoyu how to practice swords and this man's spiritual formations, as long as he knew it, he would teach them all.Xiaoyu learned quickly at the beginning, with excellent talent, and it didn't take long for him to be able to match Xue Wendi's moves.But later, for some reason, his learning speed slowed down a lot, and every time he competed with Xue Wendi, he would make some common-sense mistakes.

Xue Wendi was puzzled, and asked him several times in private, Xiaoyu only said that maybe he hadn't fully comprehended it, and it was easy to make mistakes.Xue Wendi didn't doubt it, he just told him to calm down and learn slowly.

Xiaoyu seemed to be silent for a moment, and then nodded.

At dusk that day, they rested in a long pavilion.

The willows are leaning, the afterglow is long, falling on the tip of the leaves, the setting sun is on the other side of the mountain, and people are under the small green shade.

Holding the mahogany sword that Xue Wendi cut for him, Xiaoyu sat in the pavilion, watching him and Sun Xuehua confront the sword.The two people's moves are very different, but they complement each other. When you come and go, they complement each other and are pleasing to the eye.

Xiaoyu couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, he just felt stuffy and couldn't lift his spirits.He is very talented, but he has been behind them for many years, and it is really difficult to catch up.When Xue Wendi sparred with him, it seemed that he always wanted to give him [-]% of his strength, and he didn't have as much fun as he did with Sun Xuehua.

They are close friends, they are now, and they will be in the future. One or two will become pillars of the righteous path, but what about him, what is he?A lucky monster that was not wiped out by the two righteous leaders?

Xiao Yu was thinking silently, but Shi Gu jumped down from the top of the long pavilion like a ghost, carrying a wine jar, leaning swayingly on the red pillar of the pavilion.

"You two little friends, why don't you compete with me?"

He squinted his eyes, blushing all over his face, Gu Qing asked: "Are you drinking too much and talking nonsense?"

"I am serious!"

Shi Gu burped, Gu Qing frowned, and stood a little further away.

He smiled: "I haven't met my opponent for a long time, how about I try you? If you beat me, you will be invincible in the future!"

"You can brag! Don't say you know us in the future, it's embarrassing to go out!" Gu Qing didn't believe that this alcoholic could beat her senior brother, but Sun Xuehua agreed: "Okay, senior, who do you want to compete with first?"

"Come on the two of you together."

Shi Gu smiled, just about to throw away the wine jug, suddenly remembered something, and hugged him tightly like a baby, "No, no, this is the last jar, you don't have to drink it if you throw it away."

So he bent down and put it down, shouting at the little fish in the pavilion: "I put it here! You can't steal it!"

"Who wants to steal your wine!" Gu Qing choked, and Shi Gu laughed: "Little girl, you have spoken for him. If he becomes dumb in the future, you will be responsible?"

"You!" Gu Qing hummed in embarrassment, and turned his head away from looking at him.

Shi Gu stood up straight, tied up his messy hair, showed his handsome and resolute face, cupped his hands and said, "Both, please."

Those deep eyes were instantly filled with clear light.
