I said, "Of course, I'm a poor Taoist myself. You can also see how bad his foundation is, if you want to, give him some. You're not short of money anyway. ”

Ji Xijing gave Wu Yan two thousand taels of gold and left, saying that he would wait until the Demon Conquest Council to get together with me. At least in my eyes, a person like Ji Xijing, who is calm and thoughtful, is far more difficult to do than those who are dedicated to practicing the exercises on the rivers and lakes. Fortunately, this person is not bad in nature, and he is quite honest with me.

Then, I took out another space ring and handed it to Wu Yan, and said to him: "By the way, the things in this ring were given to me by Tian Guogong of Cangqi Kingdom, I don't know when I will be able to go back to Kunlun Mountain to find you, you can use the things in it first." If you don't need it, keep it for me, and when I see you again, you can give me back the ring. ”

Wu Yan, who was still stunned looking at the silver ticket of two thousand taels of gold in his hand, came back to his senses when he heard my words, and hurriedly said, "I can't ask for this, it's too expensive." ”

I said impatiently, "Stop talking nonsense, let's take it first." You have to improve your strength, you can't even prevent a punch from me now, and you don't have to think about helping me in the future. ”

Wu Yan bowed his head a little ashamedly and said, "Wu Yan knows, don't worry, I will definitely concentrate on improving my strength." ”

I sighed and said, "This time, when you go to Kunlun Mountain by yourself, don't run around, just go directly from here to find a village at the foot of Kunlun Mountain and wait for me." Also, it's not for me that you want you to improve your strength, I've been dealing with the Demon Dao for more than a year, and Zhongzhou will become more and more chaotic in the future. If one day there is chaos in Middle-earth, I hope you will have the strength to do more for the people of Middle-earth. ”

Wu Yan knelt down again and said to me, "Don't worry, Wu Yan remembers." ”

I said, "Okay, don't be Engong and Engong in the future, just call me Brother Shengyou." ”

Wu Yan said respectfully: "Yes! ”

I reluctantly said, "Okay, let's go." Let's practice well!"

Wu Yan listened to my words, simply packed up and hit the road. The group of us decided to rest overnight in Dengfeng City and continue our journey tomorrow morning. When I passed Nie Qi from behind, I said casually: "Even if we are not comrades-in-arms who have fought side by side together, as a big man, there is no need to take the little things after drinking to heart, and there is no need to be too deliberate in life." ”

Nie Qi paused slightly when he heard my figure, looking at my back as I continued to move forward, maybe he didn't even notice it, he showed a rare knowing smile...

That night, I suddenly didn't want to go to bed early today, so I simply put Wukong on the bed, and I went to the courtyard by myself, only to find Yu Lingzhu sitting in the gazebo in the courtyard looking at the moonlight stupidly.

I walked up and asked softly, "The moonlight is good tonight, what are you thinking about here?"

Yu Lingzhu may have been too focused to notice that I had walked to her side. Suddenly, I heard someone talking behind her, and I couldn't help but exclaim softly, and hurriedly turned to look at me.

I was taken aback by her, I took a step back and looked at Yu Lingzhu and said, "Miss, do you have such a big reaction?"

Yu Lingzhu's face was a little crimson and said, "I'm sorry, Uncle You." I was so engrossed in thinking about things just now that I didn't notice Uncle You coming. ”

I sat across from her and asked, "What were you thinking about, was you homesick?"

Yu Lingzhu lowered his head and said, "Well... This is the farthest road I have traveled since Lingzhu was brought back to the Mirror Moon Dream Palace by the master, and the longest time I have been out of the house. ”

"Didn't your master take you around before that?" I asked.

Yu Lingzhu asked me curiously, "Will Master still take his disciples out to travel?" Did Master Guantian once take you out to travel in the clouds?"

I was stunned when I was asked, and I said, "Well... My master's body can't take me around at all, I guessed it myself. I think that when a master grows up, shouldn't he take his disciples around to have a look, so as to teach them some life experience?"

Yu Lingzhu chuckled in a low voice: "Those who are masters are very busy, how can they have so much time to take their disciples around. Even if they go out to do errands, they usually don't take their disciples with them, because what the masters have to do is too dangerous for the disciples, and the masters can't take care of the safety of the disciples at all. ”

I nodded and said, "Well, what you said makes sense, if I have an apprentice, I guess I won't be able to take my apprentice around with me one thing after another." ”

Yu Lingzhu said: "If Uncle You wants to accept disciples, there will definitely be many people who will come to apprentice to him." ”

I laughed and said, "I'll just make an analogy, I haven't practiced it myself, how can I teach others." It's the first time you've traveled this far, and you've found the world wonderful?"

Yu Lingzhu said: "Well, there are too many wonderful things in this world, but there are also too many dangers. ”

"It's okay, you can't hide for fear of danger. Pay more attention to yourself when you go out, and if you don't feel right, you can run away immediately. I said casually.

Yu Lingzhu said with a smile: Not everyone can be penniless like you, uncle, only by themselves from Wu through Dayu to Cangqi, and then from Cangqi to Kunlun, and finally be able to go to Kunlun Mountain alone. Uncle You, do you know that many of my junior brothers and sisters admire you. ”

I was surprised and asked, "Really, you're not trying to coax me with nice words, are you?" How do I remember that I was being chased all the way?"

Yu Lingzhu said with a serious expression: "Lingzhu didn't coax you, most of our disciples who grew up in the Seven Great Sects are inferior to you, if it weren't for our own identities, few of us disciples would be able to guarantee that we would walk safely and soundly in this huge Central Continent." Every time we go out, we travel in groups of three or five people, and even those second- and third-rate sects don't know how many disciples disappear for no reason every year. ”

I smiled and said, "I didn't expect that I had a very high status in your mind, and I knew that I would have pretended to be good when I saw you before." After getting along with me for a long time, my original image in your heart has been completely ruined, right?"

Yu Lingzhu looked at me seriously and said, "No, Uncle You. In the process of getting along with you, Lingzhu feels more and more that you are not what people see on the surface. I can't tell you why, but I just think that your heart is actually very delicate, and even softer than others in many cases. ”
