After being pulled up by the master

"who are you?"

Seeing that there was no response, Xiaoyu asked again with a childish face.

Xue Wendi smiled: "I passed by and wanted to ask for a glass of water. Is it convenient?"

Xiaoyu nodded: "It's convenient, just wait a moment."

He didn't doubt the origin of this stranger, talked to his mother a few words, put down the basket, and entered the house.

Xue Wendi discussed with the young woman again: "Madam, I am really tired from traveling all night, can you borrow a place for me to rest tonight?"

The other party responded with a smile, without any hesitation.

Xue Wendi understood at this moment that he was in the magic pool, to be precise, in the "net" woven by Xue Si.Rather than saying that "Xiaoyu's mother" accepted him, it is better to say that Xue Si accepted him.Because they formed a bond, "Net" will not pose a threat to him.

Otherwise, it would be unreasonable for this orphan and widow to take in a strange man.

Xue Wendi didn't enter the house, but wandered outside.This is a small village, and Xiaoyu's home is in the innermost part.

"Net" is different from "dream" or "illusion". Each "thread" that constitutes "net" is related to the weaver's personal experience, but will partially change with the weaver's desire.

So this place was built by Xue Si after the village they had seen when they were young.So, where is the "lock" that traps him?

Xue Wendi was still pondering, when he felt that someone poked his waist, he was shocked, turned around and took half a step back.Xiaoyu held a bowl of clear water and looked at him fixedly, as if he didn't understand his behavior.

Xue Wendi was helpless, he relaxed his guard against Xue Sihui, and didn't even notice this person approaching, but now is the time for him to relax?He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, squatted down, and was level with the little fish.

"Thank you."

He chuckled and took the bowl in the opponent's hand.

Xiaoyu asked him: "You want to live in my house?"

"Well, let's stay for one night."

I need some time.

Xue Wendi suppressed his smile, as if he was really thirsty, and drank the clear water in the bowl in one gulp.

Xiao Yu stared at him intently, and suddenly asked, "How old are you?"

"21." Xue Wendi said, blinking, "But if you say I'm five or sixty years old, it makes sense."

"Liar." Xiaoyu muttered, Xue Wendi burst into laughter: "Why are you still the same as when you were a child?"

Can't help being funny at all.

He returned the empty bowl, put his hands on his knees, and looked at the child in front of him.

If it wasn't for this accident, he would have almost forgotten what Xiaoyu looked like when he was young.But seeing you now, I feel very different.In his memory, at this time, Xiaoyu was almost out of shape, and looked at people timidly.But the child in front of him, with a little flesh on his face and clear eyes, was not afraid of him.

The more Xue Wendi looked closely, the more he saw a clue.

There seemed to be a very thin black thread wrapped around Xiaoyu's neck and wrist, which was faintly visible in the sunlight.It's like the invisible lock that the old master fastened on him when he was in the abyss.

Xue Wendi frowned slightly, unable to make up his mind for a while.

He went back to Suochun Valley, read the wordless book, and after knowing all the cause and effect, another thing happened.

That day, a white butterfly flew back out of the window, and the pear tree in the courtyard closed its branches and leaves, scattered white feathers, and fell into the ancient well.

Xue Wendi saw what he hadn't seen for many years. In a real sense, he had offered tea, performed salutes, and kowtowed to his master in three steps and nine times--Qiu Wenxia.

The old man was still holding the fly whisk, sitting dignifiedly and kindly on the rock.

Xue Wendi knelt down with a plop, and kowtowed three times towards the rock.He knew that it was not Qiu Wenxia's real body, but the last spiritual thoughts left by his master.Maybe he can't let go of his troublesome apprentice, and he can't let him go alone in the world of mortals. Even though he is gone, Qiu Wenxia still does his best to clear the last fog for Xue Wendi.

But before pointing it out, he asked again: "Xiaolou, what is your way? After 55 years, you should give Master an answer."

Xue Wendi straightened his back, and replied in a flat voice: "Master, my disciple's lifelong ambition is to eliminate demons and defend the Tao. No matter what happens, this will not change. If it ends up, he will go against me, and this disciple will not change his position."

As he spoke, he became more and more determined: "I want to live with him. If I can't, I will die for him when the world is settled. I have to pay off what I owe him in this life, so that we can meet again in the next life."

He paused, a little embarrassed, he spoke too bluntly to the master, and he didn't know if the old man would accept it.

Qiu Wenxia just smiled, her half-closed eyes narrowed into a line: "You make up your mind, that's fine."

He sighed: "Master is just afraid that you will be burdened by love, and then a lot of pain will be added to you."

Xue Wendi smiled: "Master, I figured it out, and I don't feel bitter at all."

"It's so good." Qiu Wenxia took a deep look at him, and said solemnly, "Then, from today onwards, you are the owner of Suochun Valley."

Xue Wendi was stunned, but before asking, Qiuwen Xia Fuchen flicked lightly, cutting a clear light.In the valley, the spiritual energy of the closed mountain array circulated, the sky and the earth trembled slightly, the flowing clouds curled up, the birds chirped in the forest, and there was a rare sound in the mountains.In an instant, Xue Wendi's waist was full of wild goose sword light, which echoed the whole valley.He tightly clenched the hilt of the sword, only to hear Qiu Wenxia exhort in a low voice: "Master, today, I will give you a big formation to seal the mountain. Remember, if one person starts the formation, all jade and stone will be destroyed. Only with the help of others will there be a chance of survival. Unless it is a last resort, Not to be used lightly."

"The disciple understands."

Xue Wendi nodded, and felt a strong and abundant aura in his palm, which meant that the Fengshan Formation had been incorporated into Hengyan.

The removal of the spirit array guarding the valley meant that he had no way out.

"Master, if the century-old foundation of Suochun Valley is destroyed, will you blame me?"

"Stupid boy." Qiu Wenxia scolded, "Mountains are mountains, valleys are valleys, what a century-old foundation, what holy land of cultivating immortals? Don't be fooled by the false name outside. You are just the master's apprentice, and you have inherited the master's legacy. Mantle, Master wishes you well, so that's good."

Xue Wendi's eyes became hot, and he couldn't help sobbing: "Disciple, thank you, Master."

"Remember, Hengyan is a sword that can cut off the fate of the world. It can also cut off the lock on Xue Si's body, and cut off his connection with the Demon Gathering Pool. It's just that the key to the lock is not with Xue Si, but with Xue Si. In the Demon Gathering Pool. If you want to rescue him, you must enter the depths of the Demon Capital, otherwise, Xue Si will have to die with his life."

As Qiu Wenxia instructed, his figure became thinner and thinner, and Xue Wendi only had time to call him Master again before he completely disappeared under the tree.

This time, the old valley owner will not come back again.

"Why are you in a daze?"

A question pulled Xue Wendi out of the deep pool of memories, and he smiled: "I'm thinking about my family."

Xiaoyu looked at him: "Are you far away from home?"

"Well, it's very far away." Xue Wendi lowered his eyes, then looked at him again, "I came out to find someone, and that person is very important to me."

Xiaoyu was silent, looking at him with some incomprehensible emotions.

Xue Wendi's heart moved, and he asked, "Have you ever seen someone who looks very similar to me? About thirteen or fourteen years old."

He said, and gestured twice.He still doesn't know how he will be reflected in the little fish's net.

Xiaoyu shook his head, Xue Wendi was a little disappointed: "Why not?"

Obviously he really existed.

Xiaoyu was not very happy seeing him, and seemed to be embarrassed, he asked softly: "Do you eat watermelon? Shall I cut watermelon for you?"

"Well, that's fine."

Xue Wendi was not in a hurry, he hadn't found the lock yet, acting rashly would only hurt Xue Si.

Seeing this, Xiaoyu hurried to the kitchen.

They ate watermelon together by the well.

The red flesh is sweet and crisp, the juice flows down the knuckles and the unique fragrance fills the air, and the boredom of summer is instantly dispelled.Xue Wendi looked up at the lush pear tree beside the well, thoughtfully.

He and Xiaoyu sat on the same bench, the shade of the trees enveloped their figures, and the cicadas were singing one after another in their ears.There was a black cat lying on a branch, sleeping peacefully.

Xue Wendi was a little dazed, and Xiaoyu Xiangxiang said to him in his certificate: "I'm done eating."

He looked down and saw that the man's cheeks were covered with light red watermelon juice, and there were several watermelon seeds sticking to the corner of his mouth.Xue Wendi couldn't help laughing, and reached out to brush off the small black particles: "Idiot."

Xiaoyu's eyes are bright: "Do you want to eat it? If not, I will eat it for you."

"Well, yes."

Xue Wendi just took a bite of that piece of watermelon, maybe because he was preoccupied, he couldn't quite eat it.

Xiao Yu was not too polite, just gnawed on the watermelon with his hands.Xue Wendi joked: "Why are you so lazy?"

"Yeah." Xiaoyu replied vaguely.

Xue Wendi laughed even louder.He patted the man's head, Xiao Yu looked up, a little disgusted: "Your hands are full of watermelon juice."

"This hand doesn't have one."

Xue Wendi spread the five fingers of his left hand, Xiaoyu looked at it seriously, and muttered: "It seems that there is really nothing."

"I'm not you, I eat it all over my mouth." Xue Wendi only thought that he was very cute and interesting now, so he couldn't help teasing him a few words, but Xiaoyu was a little angry, and snorted: "I won't eat."

After saying that, he jumped off the bench and went straight into the room.Xue Wendi had no choice but to follow, he coaxed: "Don't ignore me, I'm new here, I have no relatives, I'm so sad that you don't play with me."

After a while, the door of the house opened a crack, and Xiaoyu hid inside to watch him.For a moment, Xue Wendi saw that the black thread around his neck got thicker, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Xue Wendi put his hand behind his back that was going to draw his sword, and smiled: "Come out to play together?"

Xiaoyu just hesitated for a moment, then walked out again.

Most children are easy to coax, they can't tell the difference between true and false, and their emotions are simple, happy or unhappy is only a matter of a while.

Xue Wendi went with him to catch sparrows, walked through the golden waves of wheat, caught two grass carp in the river beyond the field, and brought back two buckets of water.He was sitting on the bench, clutching his collar with one hand, and slapping wildly with the other.

It was so hot.

Xue Wendi was thinking, and saw Xiaoyu looking for his mother with a bundle of firewood.He also had two threads at his ankles, leading to the young woman.

Xue Wendi had a headache.

He sat on the bench drowsy.It was getting dark, and he stayed in this net for a long time, but found nothing.

Xue Wendi closed his eyes, wanting to take a nap, but didn't want to fall asleep.When he woke up again, he was still on that ridge.

Only this time, there are farmers working in the golden waves of wheat.He walked over, wanting to ask again, not wanting to bump into a child.The kettle full of cold boiled water rolled around and lay under the ears of wheat, and the clear water seeped into the ground. The child was so distressed that he hurriedly picked it up.He stared at the instigator: "Who are you?"

Xue Wendi was taken aback.

What he bumped into was a small fish.

Xiaoyu was obviously very strange to him, and ran away again without waiting for his reply.

Xue Wendi followed quietly, squatted down, and hid in the wheat waves.He heard Xiaoyu call one of them: "Daddy."

Xue Wendi pushed aside the ears of wheat and looked at them.The farmer wearing a bamboo hat and sweat towel raised his head.

That person has no face.It's just that the outlines of some facial features are drawn on the white skin.

Xue Wendi clearly saw that there was also a thread on his wrist, which was connected to Xiaoyu.As if feeling a different gaze, the man looked towards him, Xue Wendi quickly bent down and held his breath.

"Come on, go home."

The man took Xiaoyu's hand and led his young child to the thatched hut.

Xue Wendi still pretended to be a passing traveler and went to spend the night.Not surprisingly, the other party agreed.

Xiaoyu was at the dinner table and asked him, "What's your name?"

"My name is Xue Wendi, you can call me Xiaolou." He looked at this person gently, and found that the other person seemed to be taller than yesterday, "How old are you?"

"Nine years old."

"Oh."

Xue Wendi put a chopstick of vegetables into the bowl and said nothing.
