After being pulled up by the master

March [-]rd, Jingzhe.

The Demon Gathering Pond revived from the silence, and the magic energy shook the universe.Dark clouds shrouded the center of Night City, and the shadows in the city transformed into their original bodies and scattered in all directions.The demons who broke away from the seal were reduced to monsters because of their own weakened strength, eating human flesh and sucking human blood.For a time, there was a tendency to cause chaos in the world.

It coincides with the decline of the orthodox way, the lack of success, most of the immortals have withered, a few are difficult to achieve, and the swordsmanship is loose, and most of them are young people, and it is difficult to live up to the destiny.Therefore, the righteous way is still headed by Linyuan, and they gather in Yangdian to discuss the great cause of subjugating demons.

However, this move failed, and the gate of the Night City was closed again, the monsters could not come out, and the demonic energy would not dissipate.

Gu Qing stood under the flourishing maple tree, silent.

Although she opened the seal of Night City, the power of the magic gathering pool is low enough to drive the entire Night City.But according to Sun Yi, the real Changjing Xing is still in Linyuan, and a fake sword cannot carry such a huge spiritual energy, so Xue Si's plan should fail.But now it seems that he has succeeded.The only possible explanation is that something happened to Xue Wendi.He and Hengyan may have been imprisoned early.

Gu Qing frowned, this situation is really too bad.Not to mention the weakness of the Righteous Way, whether they can cross the Bone River, even if they cross it, they will be at a disadvantage in Night City, which is full of demonic energy.

The worst thing is, the fish dies and the net breaks.

Gu Qing made up his mind and turned to go to Zhiyang Hall.

Sun Yi was sitting in a wheelchair, ready to welcome the coming Righteous Path Alliance.Today's Linyuan is no longer as prosperous as it used to be, and after the chaos of chasing the deer, it has shown its decline.As the master of the sword, he should succeed as the head of the sect, but now this broken body makes it difficult for him to make a choice.Sun Yi thought about it, since Gu Qing has returned, in terms of seniority, he should also be regarded as the master ascending the throne and leading all the disciples under his sect.

But Gu Qing refused.

Just as he was thinking, he saw that familiar figure coming from outside the hall.

"Master." Sun Yi bowed to her, but Gu Qing saw his strangeness at a glance: "Do you have something on your mind?"

Sun Yi smiled wryly, no matter how old he was, there was always no place to hide his thoughts in front of his master.

"Master, do you really have to not consider succeeding as the head?" He asked softly, lowering his head slightly.

Gu Qing looked calm, as if expecting his words, replied: "I don't think about it."

"why?"

"I don't like it." Gu Qing looked at him, scrutinized him carefully, and suddenly chuckled, "Maybe it's because I'm used to following my senior brother, so all of a sudden, it's hard for me to stand where he used to be. not feeling well."

Sun Yi raised his eyes and looked at her, as if he had a thousand words to say, but when it came to his lips, he didn't know how to speak.

Gu Qing didn't know why, and sighed softly: "Xiao Nian, do you know that when you were very young, your uncle washed your diapers? You were only a little old at that time, and you refused to sleep at night, crying and crying. Nao, your uncle will carry you on his back, walk from the pine forest and bamboo sea to Jiuyuanyan, and then walk back from there. When you fall asleep, it will be dawn, and he will take a nap for a while to deal with the matters in the door. "

Sun Yi was stunned and froze in Yuanfeng.Gu Qing rarely talked to him about these things. His memory of Sun Xuehua started from practicing swords.But Gu Qing didn't seem to notice his strangeness, and said to himself: "When you were just able to walk, the first person to walk was your uncle. I asked my brother, or this child will follow you Practicing swords will definitely be promising in the future."

"Master, Master..."

Gu Qingyue said, his eyes became hotter: "But senior brother said, you can do whatever you like, don't force it. Later you said that you like astrology and divination, and you like spiritual magic circles, so you followed me. Who knew at the time , who knew that so many things would happen later?"

She burst into tears: "If I had been a little more ruthless back then and asked you to study the way of swordsmanship and practice hard, why would I have hurt you like this? It is the master who has delayed you and dragged you down."

"Master, don't say that." Sun Yi was very flustered, he held Gu Qing's left hand tightly, "Don't cry, Master, everything will pass."

Gu Qing shook his head: "It won't pass."

In this life, all regrets will be regrets, and it is impossible to make up for them.

Sun Yi asked softly: "Master, have you experienced anything in the past ten years outside?"

He has never asked about Gu Qing's experience, because he was afraid of hearing some unspeakable past, but now it seems that these unspeakable secrets are much more serious than he imagined.

Gu Qing looks like he wants to tell him all the things he hasn't said, just like explaining the funeral.

Sun Yi was uneasy.

However, Gu Qing slowly withdrew his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "Most of the people who came to discuss matters today are old acquaintances of the master and senior brother. You don't have to worry about them cheating on the old and embarrassing you. You have to take over after all. As the head of Linyuan, it is not a bad thing to get in touch with them more."

Sun Yi couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, but he thought about Gu Qing's mood at this time, so he still nodded: "I understand."

"Ah."

Gu Qing wiped away the tears on his cheeks, and in a blink of an eye he was that dignified Elder Linyuan again.

Sun Yi frowned slightly at the moment when she lowered her eyes, and then clenched her fists.At this moment, he swears that no matter what, he will guard Gu Qing and Lin Yuan.

Also, keep his friends.

It's just that Xue Wendi, who is far away in Yecheng, doesn't know.

After he passed out, he didn't wake up again, and fell asleep quietly all the time. Hengyan was placed next to his pillow, and the original clear sword light faded away, leaving only the sharp and ruthless cold iron.

Xue Si stood by the bed not too far away, silently staring at this slightly pale face.A looming chain was connected from Xue Wendi's wrist to his body, and it emitted a faint light in this quiet room where the daylight did not shine.

Xue Si was extremely puzzled.

Although he and Xue Wendi had formed a contract, the contract should be in front of his heart, a mark, not a chain full of aura.

what is this?

After Xue Si woke up, he kept thinking about this question.He held Xue Wendi's hand blankly, his first thought was that this person could not die, and his second thought was why he hoped this person would not die.

As a demon king, being teased by Lin Yuan and failing in the sacrifice, he should be angry, but at the moment he is extremely calm.He even locked up the Night City again, and ordered everyone not to act rashly, and even stayed in this room all the time, not leaving a single step.

Listening to Xue Wendi's steady breathing, Xue Si couldn't face the joy in her heart.This person cut off his connection with the Demon Gathering Pond with a single sword, causing him to almost lose control of Night City. Fortunately, he has practiced for many years and under absolute power suppression, he can still make the newly revived demons bow down.

However, if he attacked in the right way, he could not guarantee that the clansmen would be able to retreat unscathed.

"Xue Wendi, what exactly do you want to do?" Xue Si sighed, his voice kept echoing in the silent room, but Xue Wendi couldn't hear it, and couldn't respond.

Xue Si still has a slight impression of everything in the magic gathering pool.

He remembered that his mother liked Xue Wendi very much, and seemed to have said something to this man.But now the answer is not important, the important thing is——

Xue Si was finally defeated, walked over, bent down, and kissed Xue Wendi's forehead: "Wake up quickly, I like you. I promise you, I won't make things difficult for you, if the righteous way is willing to negotiate with me , I can make some concessions."

He murmured, and kissed Xue Wendi's cold lips again, feeling a little bitter.

Xue Si lowered his eyes, and changed his words again: "Wake up quickly, I like you. I don't have to be this devil, it's up to you."

He had to admit that Xue Wendi was safe and sound, which reassured him and made him happy more than anything else.

The person lying on the bed moved his fingers suddenly, faintly, he should have heard it.

Clouds and mist surged outside the window, and the night city was full of lights. Under the black robe, there were different figures hidden.The only similarity is that pair of pale golden pupils.

Wen Ke naturally also noticed the changes in Night City.

Although it is inconvenient for him to be far away from the Suihan Peak, the viewing platform there is an excellent place for stargazing and divination.From there, he deduced the general trend of the world at the moment, and he also learned about the changes in the Demon Gathering Pool.He was worried, wondering if he should persuade Cao Ruoyu to bring Fu Ji back to Linyuan, after all, there were only the two of them here, and there was a great risk of being outnumbered.

But as soon as he arrived at the door, Cao Ruoyu yelled and rushed out. When he saw him, he hugged him as if he had seen a life-saving straw, and said tremblingly, "Wen, Elder Wen, yes, there is a ghost!"

"Is there a ghost?" Wen Ke fell into deep thought. This Suihanfeng is a treasure land of geomantic omen, full of yang energy, and there is not a single barren grave in a radius of a hundred miles. How could there be ghosts?

He pushed aside Cao Ruoyu who was sticking to him, and asked, "It's in broad daylight, where did the ghost come from?"

"What a ghost!" Cao Ruoyu was so frightened that half of his three souls and seven souls were lost. "I was going to change the medicine for the second senior brother, but when I turned around, I saw a white ball standing beside the bed."

He pursed his lips, aggrieved and pitiful.

Wen Ke didn't believe it, and said: "Then I'll go and have a look, if there is a ghost, I'll catch it for you, okay?"

Cao Ruoyu was very distressed: "Elder Wen, can you beat him?"

"I can't, can you?" Wen Ke couldn't do anything with him, Cao Ruoyu lowered his head and remained silent.

"You go behind." Wen Ke greeted, walked towards Fu Ji's room, Cao Ruoyu tugged at his belt, and followed closely behind every step.

Walking like this, Wen Ke felt a little uncomfortable, and wanted him to relax a bit, but when he turned his head to see the other party's face that was so scared that the blood had not turned back, he couldn't bear it, so he restrained himself from speaking.

The two of them moved back into the house slowly.

The furnishings of Cao Ruoyu's room are very simple, with only one bed and two tables and chairs, which can be said to be unobstructed.The sword bag was hanging beside the bed, Mingshu and Poye cuddled up to each other, silently.

Wen Ke's first thought was whether there was something unclean on Po Ye, so he went straight to check, but after looking over and over for a long time, he didn't see any clues.

"Did you really see it?"

Wen Ke asked Cao Ruoyu again, and the other party nodded his head.He couldn't help frowning: "That's really strange, there is no yin in this place, how could there be ghosts?"

As he spoke, he stared at Cao Ruoyu suddenly: "Are you too tired recently, and your eyesight blurred?"

The other party pursed his lips, thought for a long time, and then shook his head: "I am not very tired except for taking care of the second senior brother."

Wen Ke looked him up from head to toe, his eyes fell on the pair of badly worn boots, thoughtful.

Cao Ruoyu seemed to be practicing sword secretly, but he didn't tell him, presumably because he was afraid that he would worry.

Thinking of this, Wen Ke said softly: "I will sleep with you at night, don't be afraid."

"Ah?" Cao Ruoyu was stunned.

"What? Can you sleep alone? Don't climb up my window in the middle of the night and tell me crying, Elder Wen, I've run into a ghost again." Wen Ke spread his hands, as if he really saw Cao Ruoyu's pitiful appearance, and endured I couldn't help laughing out loud.

When the other party was smiled like this, his face suddenly became hot: "I don't have it, I don't know it, a man doesn't cry easily."

"Well, that's the truth, but there are exceptions to everything." Wen Ke paused, "You are the exception among the exceptions."

Cao Ruoyu was speechless.

He took off his sword bag: "Then I'll go change the medicine for the second senior brother first, and then go to the school training ground."

Speaking of this, Wen Ke's expression darkened: "Cao Ruoyu, your master and Xiaolou may have encountered some bad things. You should prepare early, but don't force it."

The young man's shoulders trembled slightly, and it took him a while to utter a word: "En."

He said: "I deduce Swift's whereabouts every day. My third senior brother still has no news, but my junior brother seems to be in a certain valley in the southwest."

Wen Ke responded: "I see, I will help you."

"Thank you, then I'll go first." Cao Ruoyu quickly left the room with his sword in his hands.

Looking at his back, Wen Ke suddenly felt a familiar aura, but it disappeared in an instant.This speed was so fast that he almost thought that he had an illusion.

"How could it be? It shouldn't be."

Wen Ke was in a trance, not daring to think about it.
