His master, who had always been wise and martial, like a child, hid at the base of the wall, covering his ears tightly and not moving. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The black robe trembled slightly in the thunderstorm.

Innocent pursed his lips, and his footsteps quickly approached him, and he called in a low voice, "Master?"

Outside the corridor, the rain became heavier and heavier, and lightning swept through the sky and the earth one by one.

Xue Huaijian leaned against the wall, his breathing gradually becoming heavy.

His face became whiter and whiter.

Wuxian stood beside him and lowered his voice even softer: "The summer night rain comes and goes quickly, otherwise it is better for the little one to go back to the national teacher first?

Innocence followed Xue Huaijian for many years.

Xue Huaijian was afraid of thunder, outsiders didn't know, but he knew it very clearly.

In private, he didn't know how many times he whispered with the misfortune, and he guessed that his master was a fox in his last life, and he called the sky thunder when he crossed the catastrophe, so he was so afraid of thunder and lightning in this life.

Especially at night, when the thunder sounded, his face turned pale.

Everyone knows that on days of thunder and rain, Xue Huaijian is not seen.

Wuxian didn't dare to touch him, so he just stood on the side and whispered: "It's dark at night, the national teacher will definitely not leave tonight, you go back and wait for the rain to stop and then go to see him, it's the same." ”

Xue Huaijian has a knighthood and lives in the Hou Mansion.

Jiao Xuan, the national teacher, lives in the national teacher's mansion.

But in Xue Huaijian's mansion, there has always been Jiao Xuan's house.

Regardless of wind or rain, there is a special person to clean it every day. As long as Jiao Xuan is willing, he can stay in this mansion anytime and anywhere.

Wuxian said: "You go back and rest, and the little one will go back to the national teacher." ”

But just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by Xue Huaijian.

Xue Huaijian put down his hand, took a deep breath, looked at him and said, "No need. ”

He can be seen by anyone, but not by his father.

The rain looks heavy and the thunder should stop soon.

Xue Huaijian turned slightly pale and continued to walk forward with his feet raised.

Innocent followed him as usual, sighing silently.

It is rare in the world for a person like his master to kill people without blinking, but only afraid of thunder.

The two of them, along the corridor, strode towards Jiao Xuan's house. Kankan walked to the door, and Wuxian heard one after another, continuous "clicking" sound from inside.

Mixed with the sound of the night rain "crackling" and falling, it looks crisp and weird.

Innocent stepped forward and lifted the bead curtain with a bang.

Xue Huaijian walked in and called "Father-in-law".

In the room, there was an old man in brocade clothes.

He was smiling and talking to the slasher on the same side, when he heard the movement, he turned his head to look, nodded with a smile and said, "Look at this face, are you scared again?"

Xue Huaijian walked slowly to his side, stood still, his face was still pale, and responded in a low voice: "Hmm." ”

No one knows why he was afraid of thunder.

Because even he has no clue.

For as long as he can remember, he has not heard thunder or seen lightning.

Even rain has become the thing he hates the most.

Xue Huaijian turned half of his face to the side and looked at the slash on the side.

"Click, click" -

Chopping misfortune in the opening of walnuts.

He picked one up, put it in the palm of his hand, and then closed the palm of his hand, and after one was forced, he unfolded it again, and the upper head was the shell, and the flesh was the meat, and it was separated.

If it was broken into foam because of the force, he picked it out and put it on a small table.

If it's whole, put it on a small plate.

Jiao Xuan sat there eating walnut meat and said with a smile: "Okay, it's late at night, you can go down too." ”

Innocent waited outside the door and did not come in.

Chopping the crumbs on his hands, he stood up, and retreated with a "yes".

The curtain flickered slightly, and only Jiao Xuan and Xue Huaijian were left in the room.

Jiao Xuan slowly and methodically, he ate most of the walnut meat that had been cut open, and then said with a smile: "This walnut is a good thing, it is a brain toner." He picked up a piece of walnut, pinched it between his fingers, and held it high.

Under the light, the small piece of dried fruit pulp, rippled and deeply brown.

Jiao Xuan said: "As the saying goes, form complements form, and it's not all fake. ”

He eats these walnuts every day, and wherever he goes, he eats them, and after it becomes a habit, he can't do without it.

He stood up, grabbed the snake's head crutch standing on the side, and took two steps forward on crutches.

During the movements, the splendid robe on his body looked empty, like a bone shelf.

Jiao Xuan was very thin, so thin that almost only skin and bones remained.

However, his face was healthy and ruddy.

Just looking at his face, he seems to be only in his forties, but regardless of his face, just looking at his body, he looks like an old man who has passed the age of old.

No one knows how old he is.

Even Xue Huaijian, who is a righteous son, is not clear.

When he first met Jiao Xuan, Jiao Xuan seemed to be like this.

As the so-called people become old and fine, after reaching a certain age, it is difficult to distinguish the age.

Jiao Xuan walked to Xue Huaijian with his snake head on crutches, looked up at his face, and said with a slight smile: "The emperor has finally spoken, and he wants to order someone to build the twelfth floor." ”

White Yujing in the sky, five cities on the twelfth floor.

Jiao Xuanxin wanted to build a tower.

One zhang, two zhang...... 100 zhang, 200 zhang......

When the tower is completed, you can pick up the stars.

With a smile on his face and a crazy look in his eyes, he struck the floor tiles twice with his cane: "Ten years at most! In ten years, the world will change greatly!"

Ancient books record that above the nine heavens, there are immortals who live.

His tower, as long as it is built high enough, will definitely be able to be explored.

He doesn't believe that there are gods in the sky, just as he doesn't believe in ghosts in this world, but he believes that there are things in the sky.

It was because he wanted to build a tall tower "Twelfth Floor" with a lot of construction.

Once built, he could rewrite history!

Jiao Xuan stared at his adopted son and said sentence by sentence: "Ten years is enough to find the rest of the map." ”

Xue Huaijian's eyes were slightly gloomy, and he said in a low voice: "Father-in-law, how much of that legend is true?"

Jiao Xuan removed the crazy look in his eyes, and with a warm smile, he said slowly: "Eight points!"

As for the remaining two points, it was because he had not yet had all the maps in his hands.

He looked at Xue Huaijian, his voice was old, and he said hoarsely and humbly: "If you find all the maps, you can find the method of immortality." ”

Xue Huaijian sat on the chair, leaned forward slightly, raised his phoenix eyes and said, "But I've been looking for it for nearly a hundred years......

So many people, so many years, but no one has ever found that legendary map.

He had to think that the map might not be able to be found at all.

That legendary treasure doesn't exist at all.

Outside the window, it was raining like rain, and Xue Huaijian raised his hand and gently pressed it on the old scar in his hair.
