There are bandits in Zhongshan

After the Liuhe Pagoda collapsed, it rained several times in succession. The residents had to surround the hilltop first, and planned to clean up the remains of the old pagoda after the rain stopped. Because they firmly believed that the old pagoda had saved the town from disaster, they specially used bright red The brocade covered the top of the pagoda, and temporarily set up a wooden sign, which said "sincere and willing to speak, but I have not felt it thoroughly".

The rain washed over the top of the mountain again and again, washing away the smell of gunpowder smoke, the mud filled the cracks on the ground, and tender grass sprouted in the soft soil.

The devastated land began to gradually return to life in just a few days.

In the tranquil atmosphere, a shadow suddenly appeared on the top of the mountain. The black robe was like a bottomless night, covering the whole person and covering everything that could reveal his identity.

That was the black-robed man next to Fairy Yuyuan. Since Ji Qiancheng realized that something was wrong, he rushed over non-stop. Unexpectedly, he was entangled by Lu Lin halfway, and managed to escape. Everything was settled.

The red cloth on the ground was pulled away, and the lonely top of the tower appeared in front of him. The rain dripped down the lines on the surface, and there was no aura in the lines.

He quietly watched the half-broken spire, and gradually clenched his hands under his sleeves, as if he was trying to restrain his anger. In the end, the bones of his body made crackling sounds, and the fierce wind rolled up from his feet, and the whole building The top of the mountain was shaken by the strong spiritual power, making howls.

Just when the nearby rocks were about to be crushed, his body shook suddenly, and then he spit out a big mouthful of blood, which sprayed onto his hands and was quickly taken away by the rain.

"Lu Lin, Zhong Mingzhu..." A hoarse and cold voice came from under the hood, as if trying to tear the two names apart.

Before leaving, with the help of Baihu, Changli sent a letter to Yunfushan, telling Yunyi the current situation. Under Zhong Mingzhu's reminder, she did not specify where she was going, nor did she specify the date of return.

In this way, if the book is intercepted on the way, it will not cause trouble.

After sending out the biography, they set off for Suo Xingyuan. Baihu thought they were too slow to control the sword, so he simply grew bigger and carried the two of them forward.

This is exactly what Zhong Mingzhu wanted. After he got up, he lay down, as if there was a soft bed under him. It didn't matter if he was not serious, and he wanted to stay together longer.

Changli shook her head. For hundreds of years, she has lived a life of asceticism. She was led by Zhong Mingzhu to try various things on the mountain back then. It was very different in the past, but he couldn't be as unscrupulous as Zhong Mingzhu.

She put her hands on her knees, her back was straight, and she was sitting upright. The sword box on her back seemed to be weightless. Immediately there was a mocking sound from the white tiger in front of her, asking Zhong Mingzhu to learn this so that she would not have to go out Tian Yizong lost face.

"Will it be?" Zhong Mingzhu stepped on his foot, his eyes wandered to Changli and asked her what she meant.

Chang Li hesitated for a moment, then shook his head again.

Zhong Mingzhu has always behaved rashly, and he is indeed different from other disciples of Tianyi Sect. If it were others, he would definitely scold him.Changli was reminded by Cheng Xun many times not to indulge her disciples. She didn't take it seriously before, but after going through the experience in the pagoda, she somewhat understood some secular truths. Connivance, this is not etiquette.But if she had to teach Zhong Mingzhu a lesson like a master, she always felt weird everywhere.

Since leaving the Heishuiling Demon Cave, Changli has felt more and more that Zhong Mingzhu's knowledge and experience far exceeds his own. Although his cultivation base is still shallow, he is superior in strategy and courage. Get a bargain in your hand.

Before entering the tower, Changli only knew that Zhong Mingzhu was very talented, and never considered the strangeness of it.She has been isolated from the world since she was a child, and she hasn't even spoken to anyone, so she doesn't know what ordinary people are like.Now that I think about it carefully, I can't help but have a faint doubt in my heart: Zhong Mingzhu has only worshiped the mountain for a hundred years, and after going down the mountain, all the enemies she met were enemies above Yuanying, but she didn't show timidity. It is really unreasonable that seniors with deep qualifications may not be able to do better than her.

When he was in Yanyue City, Changli met some junior disciples, and when he met her, he was always trembling, and he didn't even dare to speak, but Zhong Mingzhu was able to solve her doubts in turn.When they were trapped in the maze, Cheng Xun and Jiang Linzhao's faces were full of worries, but Zhong Mingzhu, who was a junior, didn't seem so nervous.

She also thought of Zhong Mingzhu's attainments in formation techniques, and thought: I haven't been able to teach her anything.

That being the case, how can he call himself a master.

"What are you thinking about?" Seeing that Changli was suddenly lost in thought, Zhong Mingzhu asked.

Changli frowned, recalling the reason why he chose Zhong Mingzhu in the first place, and how the other party was forced by her to learn the sword but still couldn't figure it out, and said slowly: "I was wondering if I did something wrong, didn't you For Jianxiu all the way, it is more appropriate to go to the Yulong Summit, Senior Brother Yun will definitely cultivate it carefully."

"Ah?" Zhong Mingzhu was stunned.

"Your master is going to kick you out." Baihu interjected gloatingly.

"Bah, you shut up and no one will think you're dumb." Zhong Mingzhu stepped down again, much heavier than last time, and then climbed up, the previous leisurely look disappeared, and his tone was full of There was a trace of nervousness, "Why do you suddenly think so?"

"Although I accepted you as an apprentice, I have nothing to do with the title of master. In fact, I haven't taught you anything at all." Chang Li was still immersed in his own thoughts, thinking about every sentence, and speaking very slowly, "Although I said To protect you, but..."

The only time Zhong Mingzhu was injured was because Baili Ningqing drove the monster over on purpose, and Changli felt that the incident was also caused by herself. Foundation building.

Where can there be such a master and apprentice, Chang Li thought so, feeling a sense of loss in his heart for no reason.At this moment, her hand was slapped hard, she raised her eyes, and a familiar smile broke into her eyes.

"Are you praising me for being great?" Zhong Mingzhu pointed to himself, his eyebrows beaming, as if he had picked up some treasure.

"I..." Changli was stunned, the gray cloud that had covered his heart inexplicably receded.

"Not at all! You have to show some face." Bai Hu interrupted again, almost overflowing with dissatisfaction in his tone.

Zhong Mingzhu pretended he didn't hear it, and continued, shaking his fingers, "You should think this way, if I hadn't gone to Tiantai Peak, I might have been kicked out of the teacher a long time ago if I hadn't gone to Tiantai Peak. Dozens of senior brothers and sisters. Besides you, who else can be my master?"

These words seemed to be nonsense, but when Changli thought of Zhong Mingzhu's character, he felt that there was something inexplicably reasonable.She had seen Zhong Mingzhu's provocative ability, and she really poked at people's pain points. Thanks to the fact that there was no one else on Tiantai Peak, she didn't cause a lot of trouble.

"You do have self-knowledge." Bai Hu said again, this time it sounded like he was holding back a laugh.

"Besides..." The soft voice came to Changli Linghai, Zhong Mingzhu probably didn't want to be heard by the white tiger, so he used the sound transmission technique, "If I went to Tiantai Peak with someone else, I'm afraid I would have something wrong. "

Chang Li thought about it for a while, and nodded unconsciously.

Indeed, as Zhong Mingzhu said, with her temperament at that time, it is possible for her not to speak for a few years.The other disciples in the sect, that is, Feng Hailou, would occasionally take the initiative to greet her, and the other disciples would not even dare to approach her when they saw her, let alone ask her to play chess with her.

Zhong Mingzhu laughed more happily when he saw this: "So you can't be a good master, and I can't be a good apprentice either. It just happens that we have similar tastes. You and I support each other. This is love, not a vain courtesy."

It's love, not courtesy.

Changli felt something lightly flashing across her heart, stirring up some ripples. It was a warm current, inexplicably mixed with a little panic, she subconsciously lowered her head to avoid Zhong Mingzhu's gaze, and let out a "hmm".

Zhong Mingzhu smiled, and suddenly said: "Speaking of which, do you still remember Ruoye?"

"remember."

"I was able to escape this time, in fact, thanks to her."

"Why?" Changli asked suspiciously, "I don't seem to have seen her."

"That's because she has other things to do, so she took a step first." Zhong Mingzhu lay back again, crossed his legs and said slowly, "The tower is made of cut iron, and ordinary spells can't do anything about it. When I'm at a loss, then Ruoye happened to pass by, and with her help, the Tribulation Fire could be drawn out smoothly, but then a large group of old undead monks came, fortunately, Xiaobai and the others arrived in time, otherwise they would not be able to escape even if the tower was burned."

"So that's the case. Where is she now? You should thank her well."

As soon as the words finished, she heard the white tiger laugh, she glanced at Zhong Mingzhu suspiciously, the latter made a gesture of silence and shook his head, and then said via voice transmission: "Stay unchanged to meet all changes. "

Then Changli heard Zhong Mingzhu say again: "It seems that a friend had an accident, and Ruoye was looking for him, so he passed by Liuhe Pagoda."

"Friend? Could it be the young master of the Ye Family?" Chang Li shook his head after speaking, "But I heard that he has returned to Cloud City."

In Yanluo City, they heard the wind like Fenghai Tower, saying that Ye Chenzhou had returned to Yunzhong City, and they also shocked several other houses.

"I don't know about that." Zhong Mingzhu said with a smile.

The two chatted through voice transmission for a while, then suddenly shook a few times, it turned out that the white tiger was dissatisfied.

"What are you whispering about!"

A low whistling complaint came, but Zhong Mingzhu sneered and said, "Hurry up, it's none of your business."

"Believe it or not, I threw you out."

For a moment, Changli felt that the white tiger's tone seemed familiar, but at this moment, Zhong Mingzhu had already contradicted the white tiger's words.

The white tiger didn't seem to like the name "Xiaobai", but Zhong Mingzhu kept changing his tricks one by one, and Changli worried that he would annoy the big demon, so he gave her a hand to signal her not to go too far.But it was too late for her to remind, the white tiger's tail flicked out a violent gust of wind, precisely wrapped around Zhong Mingzhu's sleeve and rolled her down.

"Go away!" the white tiger roared.

In the next moment, I saw the white clothes flying, but Chang Li also followed out, caught Zhong Mingzhu, turned around, and stepped firmly on the flying sword.

"Stop making trouble, if senior Xiaobai is really annoyed, I can't protect you." She told Zhong Mingzhu in such a rare and harsh tone, but this momentum only maintained the first few words.When she realized that Zhong Mingzhu's head was close to her, and she could rub the other's cheek with just a slight movement of her neck and nose, her voice weakened unconsciously.

The clear reflection in those shallow eyes even made her in a trance for a moment.

Zhong Mingzhu raised his eyebrows, a smile flashed in his eyes, and then he hooked Chang Li's neck and rubbed his whole body into her arms, and said pitifully, "I only said a few words." Just kidding, who knew senior would do anything."

Feeling that the slightly warmer body was clinging to him, Chang Li's heartbeat suddenly fluttered. This was not the first time it happened. He also embraced so closely in the Heishuiling Demon Cave, but this time with It was different before, although she said in her heart: "It's nothing." But she still froze, and panic appeared in her eyes again.

Zhong Mingzhu tilted his head, glanced at Changli's expression quietly, then immediately squinted his eyes and pursed his lips into a smile.

Baihu cursed angrily, looking like she wanted to overturn the hills below and the pride on Zhong Mingzhu's face, but in the end she closed the sharp claws that popped out unconsciously, and said dryly: "Come back, it's important to hurry. "

"Ah."

Back on the white tiger's back, Zhong Mingzhu was still holding Changli's arm, Changli pushed it twice but failed to push it away, so she had to let her go, and he sat upright again, closed his eyes and began to adjust his breath .

After running for a week, she opened her eyes, and the restraints on her arms were gone, but instead of disappearing, they moved to another place, and Zhong Mingzhu fell asleep with her lap on her head.

Like the night at the inn in town.

Changli looked at Zhong Mingzhu's peaceful sleeping face, and as if being bewitched, he stretched out his hand, but stopped when his fingertips were about to touch the opponent's face, and then outlined the outline of the opponent's eyebrows with a little distance.

Even with the five senses closed, the trajectory traced by the fingertips is exactly the same as the original appearance. Unknowingly, those lines have already been branded in the heart.

The cluster of flames in the bottom of my heart sprang up again quietly, stronger than before.

It's just that she still has doubts, and even feels a little overwhelmed.

Everything in the past was shrouded in mist, even the little uncle who treated her best, what remained in her heart was only a distant figure.Only Zhong Mingzhu, not a silent and vague shadow, has carved clear traces in both his voice and his appearance.

Is this love?

She doesn't understand love, she only knows that she must be relentless in order to achieve great success.

The words of the master and the two uncles still linger in her ears, since she was a child, it seems that these are the most she has heard.

Before she knew what Dacheng was, Shimen had already made a decision for her, and all her practice was to move forward in that direction—including accepting apprentices.She also vaguely understood why the master locked her in Tiantai Peak, so that she could not be bound by anyone or anything, including sects.She is not the Changli of Tianyizong, but the Changli of the Dao.

why?

Before going down the mountain, she was ignorant of the world and rarely thought about it. Now she understands many things, but finds that there are more things that she can't figure out and guess.

She glanced at Zhong Mingzhu's face again, sighed softly, and after being silent for a while, she felt that her thoughts became more and more chaotic as she thought about it, so she simply continued to exercise and adjust her breath.

While reciting the mantra silently, the spiritual energy scattered nearby gathered up little by little, and after entering the veins, it circulated around the body like a river, and then flowed into the spiritual sea continuously.

For some reason, Linghai's loss seems to be more serious than she imagined.

Her injury has healed, and she has taken a lot of elixir. Normally, she only needs to adjust her breath for a few days to recover, but after the spiritual power enters the spiritual sea, it disappears like a mud cow entering the sea, and the spiritual sea is always empty. It's empty, and it can't be filled.

Feeling the circulation of the spiritual power on his back, Baihu seemed to have sensed Changli's predicament. Ben casually wanted to say a few words of advice, but after careful inspection, surprise appeared in his emerald green eyes:

"This is too fast."
