48 Shelduck
"Xu Xiaoyou, don't come to harm?"
Approaching the middle of the night, Xu Xiaofei was walking alone in a secluded alley, when someone suddenly appeared out of thin air and blocked his way.
Not Tang Xuanzhu or who?
He was dressed in a dark blue robe, embroidered with silver thread on the front of the placket, and the corners of his mouth were smiling, looking handsome and dusty.
Even in his eyes, there seemed to be a smart look.
Xu Xiaofei saw him, but he didn't have the joy of reuniting with his old friend at all.
"Shouldn't you go back to the Tang family to cultivate, why are you here?"
Tang Xuanzhu smiled and said, "Qing Xiu is not in a hurry, I want to find you first." Xiaoyou, I really didn't expect that not only did you voice like him, but even your appearance was almost exactly the same as when he was young," as he spoke, he looked Xu Xiaofei from head to toe, up and down, "What a surprise." It was as if he had come back to life and stood in front of me again. The voice was full of nostalgia.
Xu Xiaofei was angry when he heard this: "The other person is still alive!"
After knowing the truth about Lin Yan, he was indeed jealous. But he couldn't hold a grudge against Shen Jinglan, every time he thought of this person, all that swelled up in his heart was sympathy and concern.
Tang Xuanzhu shook his head slowly: "Although he is alive, in my heart it is tantamount to death." I was forced by the situation to deal with him as a last resort, and I destroyed my consciousness for him and avoided the world for many years...... He should have understood my hardships and was considerate of me! At that time, even if others offended, he would have lost his temper and coaxed me. The current Shen Jinglan is just a cold-hearted demon, where is he still in the past?" he looked at Xu Xiaofei with burning eyes, "Since he refuses to accept the Earth Extreme Pill, it is better for me to take it myself, and I can barely make up for the sixty years of stagnation in my cultivation." ”
He said it so justifiably, Xu Xiaofei was cold when he heard it, and said with a smile: "I don't think you are blind, he is a blind man, otherwise how can he treat you as a 'good' friend?"
As he spoke, he stepped back, drew his flying sword, turned and fled.
His Qiankun bag has been asked back by Lin Yan to the Spirit Snake Palace, but this sword was newly given to him by Lin Yan, and the quality can be regarded as good.
Behind him, the faint sound of the flute sounded again.
Hearing the fluttering sound in his ears, the sound of the flute was everywhere, and it was divided into several white cranes and attacked him.
Xu Xiaofei summoned another sword, and the sword qi swirled, like a round of hooking the moon, shattering all the white cranes. The white crane, which was shattered into tiny pieces, re-condensed in an instant, and the more it dissolved, the more it became, and surrounded him heavily.
The sound of the flute changed from low and soft to poignant, and the cranes suddenly let out a wail in unison, turned around, and swooped down. I saw the void rippling and sparkling, and the cranes threw themselves into this invisible layer of water, and the parts that did not enter immediately dissipated.
Then, Xu Xiaofei felt that his escape technique was rapidly slowing down. The soles of his feet also began to ripple, as if stepping on the surface of the water.
His divine sense saw that a lotus pond condensed by sound waves was taking shape. The clear and translucent pool water is slightly viscous due to the spiritual power contained in it. The same transparent lotus leaves and budding flowers are pulled out of the water, and the higher and higher they rise, the lush greenery that fills the entire pond.
The water was also rising, and he was already submerged below his ankle, so it was no wonder that he was flying slower and slower.
There were also carps that jumped out of the water, carrying a string of shiny droplets, which were thrown at his body.
The long and low sound of the flute is still continuing. As long as the sound of the flute continues, the lotus pond is growing and expanding. The lotus flowers pulled out of the water also bloomed one after another, and a wisp of crimson faintly condensed on the colorless petals.
This is the "orchestra pit" of the sound channel formed by the sound of the flute!
Xu Xiaofei's sword qi swept across and protected his body, crushing the carp that pounced on him and the nearby lotus leaf bushes.
The fish and lotus leaves shattered, and suddenly turned into water condensed by the rhythm of music, pouring him all over his body, making his movements more and more sluggish.
His next sword was a little slower, and a small fish that had slipped had already burrowed into his chest, and it immediately exploded, turning into a violent sound wave! Xu Xiaofei's body was shocked, only to feel that his ears were buzzing, his eyes were black, and he almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
If he can't escape the orchestra pit, this will soon be his burial place.
Tang Xuanzhu quietly appeared not far ahead, stopping in the heart of a blooming water-colored lotus, his clothes fluttering, and he was blowing a flute leisurely. There was a mocking look in his eyes.
The "realm" is similar to a small and broken world, where he is the master and controls everything.
But at this moment, a majestic and vast water-based spiritual power poured out from Xu Xiaofei's body, turning into three huge water dragons, roaring with their heads held high, and the sound shook all over the world. The water dragon drilled a few times in the lotus pond, and it was suddenly stirred. One of them sprang out quickly, and the dragon's mouth opened angrily, swallowing Tang Xuanzhu into the rippling pale blue belly in an instant.
Blocking in front of Xu Xiaofei, Lin Yan also stepped on the back of a water dragon and showed his figure.
A faint smile: "You are ambushed." ”
All around, the formation was magnificent, and the people of the Heavenly Absolute Sect who were tense also appeared.
It's over.
Lin Yan only felt the blood churning in his chest. A stream of blood trickled down his shoulder, staining his plain clothes red, and he reached out to cover it, his expression still calm. This wound was mixed with sharp sound waves that rolled like blades, and it was difficult to treat by ordinary means, but it would be fine to recuperate for a few more days.
Tang Xuanzhu's final blow to the bottom of the box was really a bit tricky! Fortunately, he could still take it. At this moment, this surnamed Tang has been abolished and cultivated by him, and he is imprisoned, and Lin Yan intends to entertain him "well".
Xu Xiaofei, who was not far away, suddenly stepped in front of him and took out Bai Aya to bandage him. He was also injured internally, his face was pale, and he did not take his injuries to heart.
Bandaging him, Xu Xiaofei raised his head, the broken hair on his forehead moved back, he looked at Lin Yan, and suddenly smiled. A few jade-colored pills were now in his palm, and he ate two of them himself, and then stuffed the rest into Lin Yan's mouth.
Lin Yan didn't have time to dodge, his warm palm had covered his lips, and then retracted his hand.
The pill melted in an instant, fragrant and fragrant, with a hint of sweetness, but it was not unpalatable.
"What did you feed me?" he asked.
Xu Xiaofei looked at him and smiled even more happily: "It's nothing, it's just healing medicine." ”
Seeing that Lin Yan was suspicious, he leaned into Lin Yan's ear again and whispered, "Let me tell you a little secret again." This is a healing medicine, it is not false at all, but it was specially refined for me by Elder Yang Zhen sent by me, and I don't know what other effects it has besides healing. ”
Lin Yan was stunned when he heard this.
Xu Xiaofei smiled so proudly.
A Ruiyun with golden flowers flew to the Heavenly Absolute Sect Altar in Jinping City and slowly landed in the back garden.
The scenery of the back garden is tranquil, with a small bamboo forest, flowers and trees, and gurgling water.
Shen Jinglan and Shaoyuan both stepped down from the clouds and stood in the open space paved with stone slabs.
No one was aware of their arrival. They came by hiding their bodies and restraining their breath, and with the blessing of Shen Jinglan's means, even Lin Yan, who had the highest cultivation in the altar, could not detect it.
"Lin Yan's transfiguration technique seems to be very powerful! When did he learn it?" the invisible Shaoyuan exclaimed.
Naturally, the voice was also isolated by Shen Jinglan, and only the two of them could hear it.
Shen Jinglan was also looking at the two people in the courtyard.
The two ducks were arguing, "quacking" and rattling.
They are still small ducklings, with tender yellow beaks, and their bodies are covered not with feathers, but with fine fluff that does not slip away. One of the little ducks was really round and fierce. I saw it spread its wings and spur the other one into a dripping head and running away.
Shen Jinglan smiled and sighed: "This transfiguration technique is indeed good. ”
Originally, there was a trace of melancholy hidden in the depths of his eyes, but at this time, he saw the scene in the garden, which suddenly melted like ice and snow.
After looking at it with interest for a while, he said slowly: "I originally thought that the duck meat was fishy and difficult to eat, only the roast duck with crispy skin can still be tasted." But now ......"
Shaoyuan asked, "How is it now?"
Shen Jinglan smiled: "Now I think the duck is quite cute." ”
Before the words fell, he had lifted his concealment and appeared in the void with Shaoyuan.
The two ducklings seemed to be stunned on the spot.
Shen Jinglan didn't bend down to pick it up, and he didn't see any movement from him, so he casually reached out and grabbed the two ducklings who were stunned on the ground, one on one side and into the palm of his hand.
These two were definitely not the ones who were willing to be taken seriously as Ma Ducks, the masters who were caught in the palm of their hands, but when they met Shen Jinglan, they all became obedient, shut their mouths, and stayed in his hands in peace.
It is really difficult to distinguish who is who is the two little hemp ducks from their appearance, but fortunately, it is not difficult to perceive the fluctuations of spiritual power in their bodies, one is the flowing water system, and the other is the fierce sword qi.
Shen Jinglan looked at one and said, "Xu Xiaofei, you are really a genius child." Then he looked at the other one who was a little fierce, "It's the first time I've seen such a small inkstone." ”
Xu Xiaofei, who turned into a little hemp duck, squatted in his palm and "quacked", as if he was responding.
The illusion effect attached to Yang Zhen's healing medicine finally weakened after half a day, and he could turn back into a human form.
Until then, any Transfiguration will be ineffective.
Shen Jinglan didn't help. He sat down comfortably, put a cup of tea in his hand, and looked at the little furball of Linyan and hid behind the tree. But no matter how much he hid, it was all within his divine sense.
After Lin Yan turned back into his original body, he was still a little sneering, avoiding his eyes several times.
Shen Jinglan's sudden visit this time caught him off guard.
Xu Xiaofei is much calmer, whether he is a human or a duck, it doesn't matter to him. He clasped his fist at Shen Jinglan and saluted, unabashedly revealing a look of curiosity and inquiry towards this Demon Sect Master.
"You come with me. Shen Jinglan didn't say hello, and said directly.
He got up, led the way, and led Xu Xiaofei into the hut at the end of the garden.
The interior is elegantly furnished, and they face each other and sit down on two futons.
Xu Xiaofei preemptively said: "Before, in the Spirit Snake Palace, thank you to the sect leader for saving my life." ”
"No thanks," Shen Jinglan said lightly, "You were in danger because of me. ”
He added, "I can see that you have made progress in the exercises I passed on to you. If there are any questions that remain unsolved, tell me now. ”
Xu Xiaofei nodded. After a moment of contemplation, they were listed one by one in an orderly manner. Shen Jinglan also answered one by one.
Although they are only meeting for the second time, they already have an indescribable tacit understanding between them.
A tacit understanding that many people can't achieve in a lifetime.
After a stick of incense, Shen Jinglan asked, "It's all clear?"
"Clear. Xu Xiaofei said.
Shen Jinglan's eyes showed a look of approval, and from these questions, he saw Xu Xiaofei's extremely outstanding talent. At that time, he had been praised by the world as a genius in thousands of miles, and Xu Xiaofei did not seem to be inferior to him.
"You should be able to practice this exercise. You promised me that once you have practiced, you will come to my Heavenly Absolute Sect. Shen Jinglan said, "If you come, you will assist Lin Yan for me." Although he is shrewd and capable, he also has some shortcomings, and I will be gone by then, and he will not be able to support himself alone. ”
Xu Xiaofei nodded and said seriously: "I will." I will assist him in any way I can. ”
They looked at each other...... Each other saw understanding and trust in each other's eyes.
Where this trust comes from, no one can say, but it does exist.
"Good. Shen Jinglan looked at him and suddenly smiled, "I really want to know who you are." ”
It's really like him, like he was when he was a teenager, and even his temperament is like it...... However, his own youth has taken away his health and is gone forever.
Xu Xiaofei also smiled and said, "I won't tell you, I also want to know who I am." ”
He looked at Shen Jinglan and said, "By the way, can I ask you a word......?" In those days, was there a peach blossom past or something?"
"Nope. ”
Shen Jinglan also expected what he was going to ask, and replied dryly.
He smiled slightly bitterly: "I didn't understand anything back then, but I was addicted to kendo, and I was easy to make friends, except for friends, swords and wine, I didn't have time to think about anything else." I didn't even think about it. ”
"I see. Xu Xiaofei muttered in a low voice, "Actually, I think so too." ”
Not only Tang Xuanzhu, but even Linyan ...... It seems that everyone thinks that he is the heir of Shen Jinglan, but he himself doesn't believe it. If that were the case, the sporadic memories he had retrieved from his dreams would not make sense.
Xu Xiaofei's eyes rolled, and he smiled lively and bright: "In this way, although you are better than me, I have at least one more thing that is more experienced than you," he raised an index finger and shook it, "I have had!"
"Oh?" Shen Jinglan was slightly taken aback. He really didn't look like he had experience.
"That's right," Xu Xiaofei's cheeks flushed, and a gentle and sweet smile appeared in his eyes, "I...... I dreamed of that time. ”
That kind of scene...... Although he could not describe it, in retrospect, he could still feel that * beauty and joy.
"In a dream?" Shen asked with a smirk.
Xu Xiaofei's face turned a little redder, and he hurriedly defended: "Although I have forgotten the past, I will recall some past events from time to time in my dreams." The part I dreamed about must be true, I experienced it personally, otherwise it would be ...... It won't be so clear. ”
Seeing that he was embarrassed, Shen Jinglan also smiled and looked away with interest.
The sunset shines obliquely, and the back garden is bathed in a hazy glow.
When the two of them walked out, they saw Lin Yan far away in the other corner of the garden, meeting with the subordinates of the sub-altar. Although his attitude was kind, everyone was respectful to him.
They have all seen the abilities and methods of this Left Protector, and they also know that he has always been unforgiving to those who make mistakes.
Xu Xiaofei looked at it from afar, and suddenly whispered to Shen Jinglan: "Actually, he is gentle on the surface, but he is a cold and arrogant person, and sometimes he is as stubborn as a cow, right?"
In fact, after such a distance, if Lin Yan didn't deliberately eavesdrop, he couldn't hear what he was saying, but he still lowered his voice, just like making a small report.
Shen Jinglan smiled: "Yes!"
They all looked at the figure, each with his own thoughts.
After a while, Xu Xiaofei spoke again: "Don't look at his appearance, he seems to be very angry about saving me for you, you better persuade him." ”
"I've already coaxed it. Shen said in shock. Still waiting for you?
"Huh?" Xu Xiaofei was taken aback.
Shen Jinglan smiled and glanced at him with a little disdain: "You really have a peach blossom anecdote?...... Not in a dream?"
"No," Xu Xiaofei's face flushed again, "That's not a dream. ”
He really had a good time. It's just that he lost it......
How can he relive his old dreams? 166 Reading Network
