After praying, the heavens will begin to warm up. It's just that in the Northern Wilderness, this sign is a long time late.

Even though the spring flowers are blooming in the south, the peach and willow are green, and it is still icy and snowy.

Since the last time he returned from digging treasure in the mountains, Ling Ran had penetrated the zenith gate, and he had been greatly encouraged.

So in recent days, I have been practicing more diligently, and I have been pondering my mind every day, but I have never had the feeling I had last time in the mountains.

Xiao Xiao has always taken him to dig treasures and watch trees recently.

Ling Ran thought that maybe it would be more beneficial to cultivate in the mountains, so he was willing.

Another reason is to stay with Xiao Xiao, he feels very relaxed.

When I was tired, I settled down in the mountains to cultivate, the mountains and forests were secluded and my home, and Ling Ran prepared a lot of dry food.

Poor old Yantou, he was really distressed when he was fed by Ling Ran, but he had no choice but to nibble on the pancakes that Ling Ran left for him at home with pickles.

After coming and going, although there was still no obvious progress in cultivation, I became familiar with the surroundings a lot.

Visiting the mountains to dig treasures, cultivating and discussing, Ling Ran felt that life was very fulfilling.

Just when Ling Ran thought that this kind of life would go on forever, Xiao Xiao told him,

"I'm going back, Ling Ran. ”

Ling Ran heard that something was wrong in his tone, and went home not to go back to the small courtyard in the mountains.

"What kind of medicine house do you go back to?"

"Hmm. ”

Both fell silent.

Ling Ran felt clogged in his heart for some reason, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

After a long time he said,

"Why do you want to go back all of a sudden?"

"It's not sudden, this is arranged a long time ago, it's almost the same as Grandpa's pill study here, there is something in the clan, it's time to go back and help", Xiao Xiao's tone was calm, but Ling Ran still heard a hint of strangeness.

"Hmm. Ling Ran was really a little depressed.

"Are you a little reluctant to me?" Xiao Xiao's tone suddenly changed.

Some people who are not adapted to Xiao Xiao's ability to suddenly change in the atmosphere, as if they have been pierced in their hearts, Ling Ran's old face is slightly red,

"What's the matter, the one who knocked me on the head is leaving, and the revenge hasn't been avenged, of course, no!

"Hee-hee!" Xiao Xiao became happy,

"Ling Ran, you are very talented! You have only been able to react after only a few months of cultivating the mental method, and you will definitely be able to become an extraordinary immortal cultivator in the future!"

Being praised so bluntly, Ling Ran was extremely useful for a while, and he said seriously,

"Xiao Xiao, I'll go with you, maybe I can help you with something. ”

Xiao Xiao shook her head, she didn't want to take Ling Ran with her.

But He Yaoju was in an environment with surging dark waves, and Ling Ran was too weak. And she didn't worry about leaving Lao Yantou alone in this vast snowy mountain.

"It's just me, Grandpa Yan won't leave He Yaoju this time. ”

Ling Ran also understood in his heart that Lao Yantou must be the cause of He Ruo's death.

"Actually, we don't blame him, on the contrary, thank him, if it weren't for Grandpa Yan, He Yaoju would not have been as glorious as it used to be," Xiao Xiao said.

"I understand, this is a hurdle that Lao Yantou can't get over in his heart," Ling Ran sighed.

"So," Xiao Xiao continued,

"Ling Ran, I want to ask you, watch my grandfather for me here for a while, I will solve the matter in the clan and rush back immediately, when you want to go to Zhongzhou, I will accompany you wherever you want to go, okay?"

It was the first time that Ling Ran had seen Xiao Xiao speak to himself in an almost pleading tone,

"Xiao Xiao, did He Yaoju encounter any difficulties?" Ling Ran asked.

Xiao Xiao was silent.

Seeing this, Ling Ran also knew that He Yaoju must have encountered a tricky matter.

He understands how weak he is in this world at this time,

He said solemnly,

"I can stay here with Lao Yantou for a while, but for a year at most! If you don't come back for a year, I will definitely go to He Yaoju to find you!"

Xiao Xiao was very moved, and she promised Ling Ran to come back in a year at most.

Ling Ran asked about the specific day Xiao Xiao left, and next time he would leave with the delivery car.

Counting the time, it's almost a month.

During this month, Ling Ran spent most of his time cultivating alone in the courtyard. It's not that he's in a mood, it's just that he seems to be afraid of parting and wants to use this time to get used to something.

Xiao Xiao rarely came to him, and he was either refining medicine or doing something in the room all day long.

Lao Yantou was also nowhere to be seen, and he would only appear in front of Ling Ran when he reached the point.

It's strange that everyone is very busy with each other very tacitly knowing that they only have a short time to get along, and they don't bother each other.

Ling Ran was wondering if this old man didn't know the news that Xiao Xiao was leaving, or didn't care about Xiao Xiao's departure at all?

But thinking about the old Yantou's love for Xiao Xiao, it's impossible not to care, so it's just the surface calm that this old man pretends.

To die is to save face and suffer sin.

Ling Ran shook his head.

The three of them spent a quick month in this awkward atmosphere, and the convoy of deliveries in the past two days should be coming soon.

Ling Ran had always looked forward to the convoy sending supplies, but this time he looked at the way to the east, wishing that the convoy would never come.

The delivery convoy arrived as scheduled.

Xiao Xiao changed her clothes that day, combed her new hair, lost her girlish atmosphere, and looked very beautiful.

There was not much luggage, she said goodbye to Ling Ran, and Lao Yantou, as always, did not show up on the day of delivery.

Xiao Xiao looked into the courtyard,

"Ling Ran, I have some things left for you in my room, you can get them when I leave. ”

Ling Ran nodded, turned his head and looked at the courtyard, Lao Yantou didn't come out to send it off?

"Grandpa, please leave it to you!" Xiao Xiao said again.

When Ling Ran heard this, he touched Xiao Xiao's head, "Don't worry, I will definitely take care of Lao Yantou for nothing!"

Xiao Xiao smiled lightly when she heard this, Ling Ran could always make her laugh, she looked at the courtyard again, and touched the door,

"I'm leaving. ”

"Take care of yourself!" Ling Ran said.

"Hmm. ”

The carriage and horses went away, and Xiao Xiao turned around and saw Ling Ran standing at the door, and waved his hand to him.

When I turned back, the courtyard gate was already blurred, as if there were two figures, one tall and one short, one tall and one rickety.

The corners of Xiao Xiao's mouth smiled slightly,

"Steward Xu, hurry up. ”

It's true that the older people get, the more stubborn they become.

Ling Ran looked at the old Yan head with red eyes beside him and shook his head,

"I didn't come just now, but now I come out to see my back?"

The back was out of sight, Ling Ran turned around and went back,

"Would you like to learn something about pills from the old man?" said Lao Yantou suddenly with his hands behind his back.

Ling Ran felt a little surprised, because Lao Yantou had told him before that when he taught Xiao Xiao, he must avoid it.

He stopped, turning around and thinking,

"For what medicine or Xiao Xiao?"

Of course, Ling Ran knew how Lao Yantou could teach his most precious things to others in vain, and he must have asked for something.

really

"You have to promise, after learning the old man's skills, go south immediately and help Xiao Xiao. The old man only needs you for five years, why do you serve in the medicine house for five years!"

Lao Yantou stretched out his five fingers to Ling Ran.

Ling Ran walked over unhurriedly and gave Lao Yan a high-five,

"I can learn things, but I don't know if I can learn them well or not. Also, I don't have any medicine services. All I can promise is to help Xiao Xiao and help you, and there is no time limit for this. ”

Lao Yantou suddenly felt that this young man was a little interesting, and he smiled,

"It's okay, speaking of which, you've earned it, the old man doesn't have five years to live, hehe. ”

"When will it start?" Thinking that he could help Xiao Xiao quickly, thinking about the world in the south that he had never seen before, Ling Ran had never felt as small as he did at this moment, and he wanted to improve himself quickly.

"What's the hurry, the old man won't die for a while, after eating, I'll talk about it tomorrow. The old man hunched over and walked into the courtyard.

It's okay, he also prepared well, remembering that Xiao Xiao left something, he hurried to take a look.

Looking at the box full of medicines, Ling Ran smiled and shook his head, this girl actually gave herself half a year's weight this month, and the note told herself to decoction every morning, and she could completely improve her physique in half a year.

I don't know if this medicine really works, Ling Ran now feels that he is full of energy and has endless strength, and maybe his appetite has something to do with it.

There is also a nameless book with a finger thickness, which Ling Ran opened, and it used juanxiu Xiaokai to remember Xiao Xiao's cultivation over the years.

Ling Ran flipped through the pages one by one, in addition to the fragrance of ink, there seemed to be the fragrance of Yiren.

This girl thought of it with herself.

The sea breeze is slightly cold, and the boatmen are shouting their horns to carry their goods.

Xiao Xiao, who had already boarded the ship heading south, stood on the side of the ship and looked at the shore in the distance, but no matter how much he looked, he couldn't see the scene that the people he wanted to see, and he couldn't help but feel lonely.

But I remembered something, holding a book tightly in my arms, and a few words were faintly visible: "Cultivation of Immortals - Ling Ran".

I don't know when he sneaked in, Xiao Xiao turned it up gently, and the corners of his mouth slowly hooked up a cute arc.

As the cabin was filled, the southbound ship moved slowly, driving farther and faster and faster, and soon disappeared from view.
