It's Not Easy Being a Master

Shen Zhixian felt that he was sinking in the dark deep sea.

The current oppressed him, and he gasped with difficulty, his chest was empty, as if a hole had been dug out, and every breath would cause great pain.

Bear with me a little longer.Shen Zhixian thought vaguely that he would get over it soon.

In the chaos, he felt as if something was tugging on his sleeve, subconsciously touched it with his backhand, and found a cold little hand, which was holding his sleeve tightly.

who is it……?

The pain eased a little, and he barely regained consciousness. Following that small hand, he touched a thin body—a child about seven or eight years old.

The child's wrist was as thin as a stick, and Shen Zhixian held it gently, feeling that the pulse was still beating, so weak that it seemed to be broken at any time.

The body is still falling, and the cold sea water gives people great pressure.Shen Zhixian endured the pain and hugged him hard, wanting to swim up with him.Just at this time, a ray of light penetrated the dark sea water and landed on the child's face.

Shen Zhixian only glanced at it, and was instantly stunned—Yan Jin? !

This face is clearly Yan Jin - no, maybe it could be Yan Jin's childhood?

Under his extreme astonishment, he forgot to move for a moment, but the child suddenly opened his eyes, a pair of red pupils looked at him coldly, and the hand that had been holding his sleeve was caressing him silently at some point. down his throat.

"Master..."

The cold voice slipped past my ears, it was indifferent and ruthless that didn't fit the appearance of a child, "...This is my reward for cutting off the spiritual roots you gave me."

Shen Zhixian was struck by lightning for a moment, his whole body was cold, his lips trembled, and he wanted to speak, but that hand suddenly exerted force, cutting off all his words.

The nightmare scene that was almost forgotten by him resurfaced, Shen Zhixian's throat convulsed, the pain in his chest and the suffocation of being pinched appeared together, making his eyes black and unable to see clearly.

"No...not..." He panted intermittently, struggling to spit out broken words, "No...I...ah!"

With a splash, Shen Zhixian was hugged and burst out of the water. The pressure around his body was suddenly relieved, and his throat was no longer confined. He turned his head sideways in embarrassment, choked out a mouthful of bloody water, and grabbed the body holding him with one hand. man's skirt.

There was a fog in front of him, he was panting, his eyes were slack, he repeated a sentence tremblingly and in vain: "It's not me...I didn't..."

The person in his arms was really embarrassed and fragile.

Shen Zhixian's frame is thin, and he has always had a physique that does not eat fat. The thin bamboo pole boy in the past has grown into a strong young man, but he still looks thin. His waist is so thin that Yan Jin can wrap one hand around it, and it is light to hug.

Shen Zhixian is obviously not fully awake yet.His head rested weakly on Yan Jin's shoulder, his face was pale, and under the shattered sunlight, he could even see the pale blue blood under his thin skin.He grabbed Yan Jin's skirt with one hand and muttered something in his mouth.

The inner garment was soaked in water and stuck to his body wetly. Because of the struggle just now, the skirt of the clothes was messy, revealing the delicate collarbone and jade-like chest halfway.

Yan Jin looked down at him with an unpredictable expression.

Little Grass Sprout stood stiffly by the side, and Yan Jin casually glanced at it after seeing enough of the person in her arms, that glance was indifferent and cold, and there was a hint of redness in her eyes.

Xiao Caoya was taken aback by that look, and fell down on the spot, pretending to be dead.

Yan Jin hugged him indifferently, ignored him, and strode away.

Shen Zhixian didn't wake up until he returned to the house.His heart attack was worse than any he had ever had before, and he fell asleep again halfway through.

After the cold wind blew all the way, Yan Jin's pupil color had already returned to normal, and the aura around him was not so cold and gloomy.He silently performed a few cleaning techniques on Shen Zhixian, dried his clothes, covered him with a quilt, stared at him for a while, and then quietly left.

As soon as he walked forward, Shen Zhixian opened his eyes. Although his face was still full of tiredness, his eyes were full of clarity and fear—just now, in the hot spring, Yan Jin wanted to kill him.

That feeling of suffocation was not due to a heart attack, but because Yan Jin grabbed his throat!

The so-called "little Yanjin" was probably an illusion caused by her throat being choked.

Shen Zhixian was stunned for a long while, only feeling chills in his heart.

It's been three years, it turns out that Yan Jin... still can't let go...

Subconsciously, Shen Zhixian wanted to throw his hands away. Since Yan Jin couldn't let go, why couldn't he just hide from Yan Jin?

But immediately he let out a long sigh—thanks to this heart attack, his brain was so stimulated, and finally he remembered something again.

The longer his heart disease dragged on, the more frequent the episodes would be, until his body couldn't bear it and was completely abolished—the so-called abolished, that is, death.

The original body consulted various ancient books, sent people to investigate countless times, and finally found some hope.

Shark scales.

The Ni Lin of the ancient shark demon can heal human flesh and bones, and it must also have a miraculous effect on heart disease.

But the shark monster is easy to find, such an ancient existence as the ancient shark monster has never been heard of for thousands of years!

The original body was at a loss, but Shen Zhixian knew where there were shark scales—the original book briefly mentioned that not long after Yan Jin became a demon, he went to an ancient secret realm, where he obtained a piece of ancient shark scales.

This inverse scale was later presented by Yan Jin to a female voice cultivator with a disfigured appearance. When Yan Jin ruled the magic way, this female voice cultivator resolutely defected from the master's sect and came here and became Yan Jin's one. Great help.

...It is also one of the protagonist Yan Jin's, suspected heroines in the original book.

The reason why it is said to be suspicious is that until the entire book was written, and until Yan Jin died, she did not clearly express which heroine or heroine she wanted to be with.

Shen Zhixian sighed.If he had a good relationship with Yan Jin, he might be able to ask Yan Jin to give him some of the scum, but it's a pity...

He tried hard to remember who the female Yinxiu was, and now the more famous Yinxiu sect in the cultivation world is Qianyin Pavilion... Shen Zhixian wondered to himself, if he helped Yan Jin catch up with his wife, would he be forgiven?

Shen Zhixian silently put this idea into the scope of consideration, and pondered about Yan Jin and Sharlin's matter for a while, finally heaved a sigh, not knowing what to do.

Tiredness surged up in waves, and he didn't have the energy to get up and change clothes, rolled up the quilt, and soon fell asleep again.

……

After the hot spring incident, Shen Zhixian's health has obviously gotten worse.

In just a few months, his heart disease had several attacks one after another, each time becoming more serious, and he lost a lot of weight.

However, two elders helped to cover it up, and Yan Jin pretended to be fine. No one noticed anything wrong. Even Song Ming only thought that he was lazy in winter, so he didn't go out for a long time.

Shen Zhixian was strictly prohibited from using spiritual power by the Fourth Elder, so she lay sleepy all day long in a warm room, and murmured every day that she was going to turn into a moldy mushroom.

"Oh, what are you talking about, kid." The Fourth Elder stuffed a handful of elixir pills into his mouth, "Even if you become a mushroom, you are still the most beautiful mushroom."

Shen Zhixian chewed and swallowed the elixir pill, his whole face twisted immediately, and he calmed down after a while: "Uncle Fourth, can you add some sugar to the medicine next time?"

The fourth elder glared at him: "Do you understand that good medicine tastes bitter? You are not young anymore, why are you still as afraid of suffering as you were when you were a child... Your apprentice ate so much and didn't say a word. You are the only one who has too much to do."

The fourth elder is proficient in refining medicine, and the effect of the refined medicine is very good. The only bad thing is that he firmly believes that impurities will affect the efficacy of the medicine, so he must ensure that all the medicines are authentic——Shen Zhixian took it for several months, and his whole body It's all bad.

Seeing the Fourth Elder taking out a handful of elixir pills exuding a strange smell, Shen Zhixian closed his eyes in despair, and resolutely stuffed them all into his mouth, chewing with tears while mumbled: "Fourth Master, Do you still have the panacea for upgrading to the sixth-level body protection and spiritual root?"

"Yes. Do you want to give it to your apprentice again?"

Shen Zhixian swallowed the bitterness in his mouth with difficulty, poured two glasses of water in one breath, and said, "Well, it's Ah Jin. I see that he is about to be promoted."

"—Promotion?!" The fourth elder gasped, in disbelief, "It's only been a few years, and you've reached the sixth level? Your apprentice's talent is not inferior to yours at all!"

Shen Zhixian smiled without saying a word.Nonsense, that's the main character!He spread his hands, "Fourth Martial Uncle give me two, and I will pay later."

The Fourth Elder laughed and scolded, "You are the only one who favors the apprentice." When he found the elixir and handed it over, he suddenly paused, "Your heart disease... I finally tried a prescription a few days ago."

He hesitated for a moment, "It's a pity that it can only relieve you a little bit, but it can't cure you. You..."

Shen Zhixian twitched his brows lightly, and showed a relaxed smile: "That's good...Thank you, Fourth Master Uncle. Please take more care of me, I plan to..."

He deliberately lowered his voice, and just as he finished speaking, he saw the fourth elder showing disapproval.

"Fourth Martial Uncle, I have my own measure." Shen Zhixian said softly, "Besides, there is Ah Jin here, so nothing will happen."

The Fourth Elder hesitated for a moment, finally nodded, and sighed: "Your apprentice... is not bad. Well, do whatever you want, just don't forget to come back if you are wronged when you go out." The middle-aged man with a correct face showed With a kind and inclusive smile, "Your uncle and uncle are all here."

Shen Zhixian was slightly moved, and said hello cautiously and gratefully.

——Obviously the most accident-prone point is on Yan Jin!But this matter can't bypass him!

Shen Zhixian wept in his heart, and when the fourth elder left, he got into bed again sadly.
