Xianmen does not ask about the mundane

"Is it allowed by the senior brother in charge?"

"Yes. Master said that watching actual combat is also a kind of learning."

"It's the brother's style. I know, you go down."

"Yes, the disciple retire."

Qiu Yan saluted Zhang Leyu, then turned and left Wenli Pavilion.

Since taking over the teaching and guidance work, Qiu Yan and Zhu Lingyu have come to report to Zhang Leyu every day, and it is the first time for him to come here by himself today.

Thinking of what happened when they were just disbanded, Qiu Yan couldn't help but secretly sighed.I thought that thanks to Master's favor today, I could end my day's schedule earlier and go back to my room to rest. I didn't want those new disciples who are usually not active, but they were so excited after watching the group arena today.

Zhu Lingyu couldn't resist his ears, and didn't want to delay their own practice and rest time, so they stayed by themselves and let Qiu Yan report the situation alone.

Qiu Yan came out of Wenli Pavilion, looked up at the purple and red sunset in the sky.I originally planned to go directly to the dormitory on the main road, but thinking about the early end of the day, maybe my brother was still in the martial arts training ground, so I took a long way back to the martial arts training ground.

In the past, when the relationship with Zhu Lingyu was still limited to being a senior brother, in order to talk to him more, Qiu Yan would always deliberately slow down his pace when staying with Zhu Lingyu.Now there is no need to be as careful and forbearing as before, but this habit is still preserved.

However, since then, the two have been together more often, and today it is rare that they are alone. Chou Yancai returned to the state of striding like a shooting star after a long absence. After a while, he walked near the Guanju Hall, and saw Hu Yuetao standing at the intersection on the other side from a distance. Looking straight at Guanjutang.

Qiu Yan felt strange in his heart, and stepped forward to call her out.

Mei Fangli originally came out to find Qiu Yan as planned, but when he passed the Guanju Hall and saw something strange in it, he reckoned it was still early and stopped for a while.

Just as he was considering whether to take the risk of making arrangements around here, when he heard someone calling him behind him, he wondered who else in the Xuanqing Mountain Sect had a close relationship with Hu Yuetao, but when he looked back, it turned out to be Qiu Yan, and he was the only one.

Mei Fangli originally thought that there would be countless excuses for such a trivial matter as not going to practice swords early, but Qiu Yan was too cautious to be so suspicious.

Considering that he always acted with Zhu Lingyu at the same time, and with Zhu Lingyu around to explain things to him, Qiu Yan might not be very good at questioning him again and again, so he came here in peace.He planned to dispel his doubts this time, and it would be better to have less contact with him in the future.

Unexpectedly, when he was hiding in the room, the two people who were stuck together as soon as he moved the talisman to observe, happened to move separately this time.In the past, he came out of Wenli Pavilion every day at sunset, but it happened that he came back so early today, and it was still a detour.

Mei Fangli felt inexplicably exhausted, and waited until Qiu Yan approached before saying hello: "Senior Brother Qiu."

Qiu Yan said: "What are you doing standing here stupidly, come to see Master for something?"

Mei Fangli said: "No. I see that the sky is not too late, but the Guanju Hall has already lit candles early. It's a bit strange, so let's take a look."

After hearing this, Qiu Yan looked towards Guanjutang, only to find that there was indeed faint candlelight shining through the window paper, but it was not so obvious from a distance under the multi-colored light.

He remembered that he had seen in the ancient books of Zangshuge that the ancient magic circles were not formed of talismans and seals as they are now, but with real objects as the array points, and some of the ancient magic circles related to flesh and soul needed to be used Bright candle, could it be...

Mei Fangli started out with talismans and seals, so he naturally knows no less than Qiu Yan, but he still doesn't know the situation of Xuanqing Mountain, so it's hard to draw a conclusion.Seeing that he seemed to have seen some clues, he wanted to make a cliché, but he didn't intend to continue to take the risk of talking to him about things he didn't understand, so he changed the subject before he could open his mouth and said: "Senior Brother Qiu, why is he here alone? Woolen cloth?"

Qiu Yan came back to God and said: "I was left behind by the younger brother just after the schoolwork was over, saying that he had some insights and wanted the older brother to guide him. I just came back from Wenli Pavilion and was going to find him."

Mei Fangli thought it was funny when he heard that in the competition between the two in the morning, Qiu Yan's overly strong desire to win in the second half was amused.

Ever since he was in Meishan, he had a vague feeling that something was wrong with these two people, and when he arrived at Xuanqing Mountain, he saw that the two were almost inseparable. Looking at their performance in the ring today, if he is still not sure about the relationship between the two, his past 100 years will be considered in vain. alive.

Mei Fangli suddenly wanted to tease him very much, but because of Hu Yuetao's temper, he couldn't speak too bluntly, so he thought for a moment and said: "Speaking of today's competition between Senior Brother Qiu and Senior Brother Zhu...it was really exciting."

When Qiu Yan heard this, he looked away unnaturally, but he quickly returned to his usual expression, quickly organized his words and said: "Senior brother's swordsmanship is excellent, I can't compare it. By the way, I heard that you were injured last time out. I just came out for activities today, why don't you go back to rest earlier after the schoolwork is over?"

This topic changed quickly. It seems that Zhu Lingyu had already told him about the conversation in the morning. Mei Fangli thought to himself, and replied: "There are only some flesh and blood wounds left, so it doesn't matter. Brother Zhu asked me about it today. The card is still in my possession, and I returned it on purpose."

Chou Yandao: "Fencing practice is very intensive. If the wound is accidentally opened and stained with sweat, it will be uncomfortable. Don't try to be brave."

Mei Fangli said: "Thank you, brother, for caring."

Qiu Yan thought for a while and said: "I have to go to Wenli Pavilion every day to meet Master Zhang, why don't you give me the token, and I will return it for you tomorrow, so that you don't have to go all the way."

Mei Fangli's eyelids twitched when he heard this, and he thought that he might want to get rid of the context of the token, so he shirked and said: "Don't bother senior brother, I have been living in seclusion since I came back, it's time to visit Master."

He thought that Qiu Yan would at least find another excuse to ask for the token, or make some other temptations, but he nodded and told him to go back early and pay attention to rest, and left after speaking.

Mei Fangli looked at Qiu Yan's back, thinking that she seemed to think too highly of him.He was still so skeptical in the morning, and after hearing Zhu Lingyu's words, he let him go easily, because the temper of a child is too easily influenced by others.It seems that there is no need to be afraid of him in the future, as long as Zhu Lingyu is stable.

Right now, Qiu Yan has passed this test, but as for Zhu Hongyan...

Mei Fangli raised her head and looked at the faint candlelight in the hall.

The magic circle with bright candles as eyes is a magic technique created by the monks who are near the end of their lives but have not yet entered the realm of transformation in order to maintain their bodies, stabilize their souls, and prolong their lives.

When I heard from Du Yuehua that the recent heads of the Xuanqingshan School had not served for a long time, Mei Fangli thought it was because the resentment was too strong to be suppressed once and for all with the seal alone, and someone had to re-strengthen the seal every once in a while. OK.And the reinforcement will do a lot of damage to the caster, and it is very likely to be at the expense of one's own cultivation, so it will be replaced by the leader with the strongest spiritual power in the faction.After the reinforcement is completed, it will be closed immediately to restore the state, but the life span may not be long after the great loss.

But if this is the case, the head of the sect should be at the peak state before passing the throne, it is definitely impossible to use this ancient technique, and Zhu Hongyan has just finished retreat not long ago, so it is only possible that it is time for them to suppress their grievances Not after passing, but before passing.

They are maintaining the seal on their own, and the so-called closed-door training that they announced to the outside world may also be to maintain the seal. They have lost their vitality and have to retreat to save their lives, or even die.

This can also explain why Zhu Hongyan "shouldered" him just now. It's not that he didn't know how to strike, but that his vitality has been greatly weakened and he can no longer control his body and spiritual power perfectly independently as usual.I'm afraid that hiding his breath is because he is afraid that other people will find out the strangeness of his body.

If it is really what he guessed, then Zhu Hongyan's current state should be that his term of office is approaching, and he should be able to get the answer soon if he directly deals with him.But there is that person by his side, and the magic circle in Guanju Hall is probably the same person who is protecting his life.

Although Mei Fangli didn't know why he didn't clean up the mess for his good disciple with his cultivation level, and now he is taking care of the future generations, but it's better to be cautious and not provoke him beforehand, it's better to start from the side .

When Qiu Yan arrived at the training ground, those "stab heads" were still pestering Zhu Lingyu to see the basic moves they had learned for him to guide.Seeing that Qiu Yan had already gone and returned, not only did he not feel wrong at all, but he also called him to watch with great interest.

Zhu Lingyu was terribly annoyed by them, and when she saw Qiu Yan from afar, she cast a look at him for help.

Although Qiu Yan always found Zhu Lingyou's helpless appearance quite interesting, and was happy to enjoy the feeling of being a teacher, but in his heart, he still wanted to spend more time alone with him, so he walked over and said, "It's getting dark soon. Okay, let's continue tomorrow. When the master in the canteen leaves, you will be hungry."

In the eyes of the new students, Zhu Lingyu probably belonged to the kind of person who would mercilessly reprimand him when he saw shortcomings, but was very soft-hearted as long as it didn't involve big issues of right and wrong.

On the other hand, Qiu Yan is completely opposite. Although he usually looks very gentle and never speaks out to blame, he always says what he says.So they have been discussing with Zhu Lingyu alone for some small requests.

Now, although Qiu Yan's words were euphemistic, the meaning was already obvious. Seeing this, several people couldn't make a fuss anymore, so they had to obediently leave each other.

Seeing that they were finally sent away, Zhu Lingyu couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief: "These guys are really capable of tossing around, if it's just a whim and they'll be lazy tomorrow, I have to deal with them."

Qiu Yan couldn't help but smile.

In the past, when they were working and resting normally, after the two of them returned to their room after a day of schoolwork, they usually practiced until the hour of the day before going to sleep and resting. They took both practice and rest into consideration very well.

But since taking over the teaching work, the balance between the two has been disrupted.The rest time for the two of them was much less than usual, and they participated in several competitions one after another today, so they are really a little tired.

I thought that because of Master's favor, I have nothing worth reporting today, at least I can go back to rest earlier, and I don't want to be haunted by those "thorns" again.

It was already dark when we returned to the room, and Zhu Lingyou couldn't help feeling a little physically and mentally exhausted. After taking a bath, he lay on the bed and didn't want to move anymore, yelling to pull Qiu Yan to be lazy with him for a while.

As long as there are no special circumstances, Qiu Yan will always complete his cultivation as planned, but everything related to Zhu Lingyu is a special situation for him, so he cooperates with Zhu Lingyu without the slightest hesitation and without principle. Lingyuan lay down together.

But he knew that Zhu Lingyu would never be sloppy about cultivation, he just talked about it.Zhu Lingyuan also knew that even if it wasn't a joke, Qiu Yan would follow his own mind.

The two just lay side by side quietly without speaking.Listening to the shallow breathing beside her, Zhu Lingyou's impetuous heart calmed down unconsciously.

"Ayan." Zhu Lingyou called softly.

"Huh?" Qiu Yan turned his head to look at Zhu Lingyuan.

Zhu Lingyu didn't look back at him, but looked at the dim ceiling with one hand behind his head, and said, "Today, I told Master about the two of us."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Yan raised his arms and sat up.
