"Senior brother is leaving?" Just after the hour, Duanmu stopped and looked up at the person who pushed the door in.

Mo Ran held the medicine bowl in one hand and closed the wooden door behind him with the other. Drinking bamboo outside, the snow lingers.

The long clothes are like ink, the placket is flowing clouds, and the man steps slowly, his expression is warm, and his eyes are soft.

Falling on the bamboo slip held by the woman on the couch: "The bamboo body is cold, after the spring of the next year, it is not too late for the senior sister to look at it." ”

The bamboo slips are warm and beautiful and a little stoic and elegant, and the strokes are as good as the years.

"Is this what Senior Brother carved last night?" Duanmu Yiyan put down the bamboo scroll in his hand and placed it on top of the other dozens of bamboo slips that had been with him for a long time on the side of the bed.

Mo Ran smiled gently: "So the little junior sister guessed that I was leaving?"

Duanmu's expression was also soft, and he bowed his head lightly and said, "Senior brother used to be like this...... If the line is separated, it will be bequeathed. ”

Mo Ran sat on the edge of the couch and handed the medicine bowl to the woman on the couch: "Don't you like it?"

Duanmu looked slightly stunned, and the hand that reached out to serve the bowl was slightly biased, touching the man's calloused fingertips. "Senior Brother's Hand ......"

You can perceive the roughness of the calluses and the scabs of new or old, fine scabs.

Mo Ran's eyes were gentle as Xu, and he said softly: "If you feel distressed, take good care of yourself." Stretching out his hand to caress the lightly closed eyes of the woman on the couch, Mo Ran said with pity: "These eyes used to be the most cherished thing for senior brothers. ”

Duanmu held the bowl in his hand in a daze, and his empty eyes looked in his direction without focus.

Mo Ran gently stroked the woman's head, and said gently: "Whether it's your sideburns frosty hair, or these eyes, or your legs...... I know that my sister has already let go of her heart and is not sad. After a pause, I expected to see the woman on the couch with an indifferent expression, calm and clueless.

Mo Ran said sadly: "It's just that you have to remember that there are still people who will grieve for you." It hurts for you, it hurts for you, I feel sorry for you......" Touching the white hair on the woman's sideburns, Mo Ran said softly: "Just for them, you also need to take good care of yourself, you know?"

Duanmu couldn't help but be silent, and lowered his eyes silently. "I made my brother worried. ”

"It's not just me...... And your disciples, Yushi, and uncles and ancestors......" Mo Ran said softly: "Master Quanxia has knowledge, and he is reluctant to let you be injured and suffered. ”

Duanmu raised his head and looked into the distance, for a long time, and nodded slightly. "Senior Brother Xie. ”

"Don't say stupid things...... Mo Ran looked at her gently: "I am your senior brother, you and I, you and I will never have to say this word of thanks." Tidying up the bamboo slips on the side of the couch, Mo Ran got up and said, "I'm leaving, Su Wan will bring breakfast later." ”

"For more than ten days, I have been tired of my brother staying in the valley to take care of ......"

Mo Ran said softly: "Cloud Gate has training, I shouldn't stay here for too long. And the New Year is approaching, and it is time to go back to the sect. Looking down at the woman on the couch, Mo Ran stretched out his finger and lightly tapped it on her forehead, raised his lips and smiled: "Senior sister, take care." After saying that, he gently turned his long clothes, walked slowly, and slowly walked out of the drinking bamboo house.

When the man closed the door and walked away, the woman on the couch held the warm medicine bowl in her palm, looked back in a trance, and looked in the direction of the wooden door.

……

Deep valley secluded courtyard, mountains overlap each other and go away, snowflakes are misty in the mountains, looking at it from afar like a few brushstrokes of freehand ink, faint, hazy and distant.

A few days later, the person in the Sigh Moon House recovered from his injuries and was no longer in the house.

Drinking bamboo in the house, Yun Xiao stood in front of the wooden couch and respectfully stretched out his hand to the people on the couch.

Duanmu checked his pulse and nodded lightly: "Your physique is better than that of ordinary people, and in just a few days after you wake up, your injuries are almost fine." Duanmu withdrew his hand, leaned on the couch and looked at the nothingness in front of him, and continued softly: "It's just that the internal injuries and the injuries of the left wrist tendons and veins still need to be paid attention to...... After a few days, it should be fine. ”

"Master Xie. The man in Tsing Yi stood quietly in front of the couch and responded respectfully.

Duanmu looked back in his direction, and then said: "From the beginning of October to the end of midwinter today, you and I have lost in Xuzhou and even returned to the valley to heal, and the more than a month has passed. Now that your injuries are healed, and you are no longer in serious trouble as a teacher, I want to lead you to Qing'e House in Donghai County. Finish the previous death of Elder Fu. His eyes were slightly dark, and Duanmu continued: "I made a promise in front of Elder Fu's spirit before, and I would lead you to Qing'e House to receive the blame...... Although Master knows that this matter is unintentional to you, it is related to human life, and it is a responsibility to punish your heart, so you must not forget it. ”

Yun Xiao's eyes darkened when he heard this, and he said solemnly: "Elder Fu's death is because I didn't think about it completely, I was negligent and reckless, and I didn't know it for others...... Xiao Er obeyed the master's arrangement, and after this incident, she must keep it in mind. ”

Duanmu had a comforting look on his face, and nodded slightly: "The doctor is benevolent, there is nothing wrong with your help." It's just that when you first entered the rivers and lakes, you didn't think about fortifying people, so you were used by others, and Master doesn't blame you. ”

Yun Xiao raised his head and looked slightly depressed, hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but say: "Guo Xiaoyu, the leader of the beggar gang that I mentioned with the master, was actually gentle and kind when I first met, and he was quiet and polite at a glance. ”

Duanmu's eyes were warm, he looked up at the screen in the room, and said in a harmonious voice: "The teacher didn't say that she was a wicked person. ”

Yun Xiao was slightly stunned, a little stunned.

The man in white said slowly: "People in the world have different positions, and the time limit of decades is to do what they think is right in this reincarnation...... So she is, and so do we. We don't know what's right or wrong, because we can't see the big picture. ”

The young man in Tsing Yi stood in place, suddenly speechless.

Duanmu looked at him and said softly: "To follow the heavens for the teacher and take it as his responsibility to protect the peace of the Xia Kingdom, this is the 'right' that the teacher can know, but whether he has done this in the Langyang Shihe and the world is not known as a teacher." But that's all I can see. ”

The voice was pale, and the woman said: "The world can't escape the fate of this hundred years, so they often pursue the obsession in their hearts. What the teacher cares about is the peace of this country and the lives of all living beings. In front of me, if you can be safe, you will be safe, and if you can take care of it, you will take care of it. After a slight pause, Duanmu said calmly: "Although Gang Master Guo is different from what I think, I can't assert that she is evil, and being a teacher is good...... Because the thoughts of good and evil are also different from person to person, they hold the opinion of everyone. But whether what everyone is saying is right or not is another question. ”

Yun Xiao looked at the woman on the couch in a daze, and was speechless for a long time.

There was a sudden heat in his lungs, Duanmu lowered his head and coughed, raised his head and said, "You are my disciple, you are bound to be influenced by me, and you will inherit my thoughts." You think she's evil, but there's nothing wrong with thinking she's not evil. But what she did was contrary to you, that's true. That's why most of us think differently from her...... That's all. ”

The person on the couch knelt down unconsciously, and said solemnly: "Master's teachings, the disciple has written them down." ”

Duanmu coughed a few more times, and his voice was slower: "You have injuries on your body, just get up and talk ......"

The man in Tsing Yi looked at the woman with a deep look, and his eyes were quiet and silent.

It's like looking at an illusion far away, and I feel that it is not real, and it is difficult to speak for a long time.

Duanmu didn't hear his voice for a long time, so he was quiet for a while, and the next moment he remembered something, and was about to ask, when he felt that the young man leaned over and reached out to pull the snow on his shoulder up.

Duanmu said: "In addition to Elder Fu's matter, this trip should also return the key to the Underground Array Palace lent by the Lord Lou She...... Although Elder Chen had made it difficult for you, if something happened to you and me, Qing'e She and the public loser had made efforts to find each other. Today, the Sacrificial Sword Mountain Zhuang family is unstable, and Qing'e House has also lost the strong help of Elder Fu...... It was at the time of distress that the two of them jointly built this underground array palace was actually of great benefit to them, and if there was a disaster, it would be useful to hold on. Duanmu pondered: "Therefore, it is better for you and me to return the key to the array palace to Qing'e as soon as possible." ”

The young man in Tsing Yi paused for her to tie the ribbon of her clothes, and then said, "What did Master say about the Xuantie compass we used when we broke the formation?"

Duanmu nodded: "Exactly." ”

The person in Tsing Yi had a difficult face, so he had to say bluntly: "Go back to Master...... The Luo mirror was cast of dark iron, and it was in the snow ridge that day, because it was too heavy, the disciple sank it under a bluestone in the snow ridge hot spring...... I didn't bring it with me. ”

The woman on the couch was slightly stunned, and her face was a little worried: "This ......"

Yun Xiao looked at the woman's expression, his face couldn't help but feel ashamed, and he blamed himself: "Master forgives the sin, the disciple didn't think about the use of this thing, and gave ......it up lightly."

Duanmu shook his head and sighed: "At that time, you carried me in the snow ridge, and you were already doing your best, how could I beg you to still carry that Fang Luo mirror with you...... It is the negligence of the teacher, but everyone who is bound to give up this thing. ”

Yun Xiao saw that the gloom in her eyebrows did not decrease, and she couldn't help but condensed: "Master is worried that if she is accidentally obtained by someone with a heart, it will be used to deal with Qing'e She and the public loser, I am afraid that there will be a big trouble?"

Duanmu's eyes showed a little softness, and he shook his head slightly: "Actually, otherwise, there are not many people in the world who can understand the complexity of that Fang Luo Mirror, and even if it does, as long as Elder Chen slightly changes the location of the array palace mechanism, that Fang Luo Mirror will be useless." ”

"Then what is Master's concern?"

Duanmu thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's because the teacher is thinking too much, the cast iron used in the Fang Luo Mirror is cold magnetic black iron, which is rare in the world and is extremely difficult to obtain...... For some reason, I'm a little worried that it's being used for other things. ”

Yun Xiao was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then said: "That matter of Luo Jing, Xiao Er will also explain to Elder Chen at that time, if you can ask for another piece of cold magnetic dark iron from the public loser, Xiao Er can work with Qingyang Zi to reshape it." ”

Duanmu said gently: "It's rare that you can remember clearly, and you can only think about it." ”

Yun Xiao responded respectfully, and then sat on the edge of the couch and looked at the woman for a long time, and said: "In addition, Yun Xiao left Qingfeng Village to go to Xuzhou this time, and he was really ordered to find this dark face pearl for the ghost seniors. The young man in Tsing Yi took out the snow-colored bead from his arms, and then said: "The ghost grandfather wants to use this bead to preserve the body of the Taishi Ancestor, and ordered me to rush back within three months. ”

Duanmu Xiaoxian was silent for a moment, for a long time, and nodded lightly: "Since that's the case, you can go back first." My gambling contract with the ghost seniors is still there, and as the year is approaching, you should really go back to Qingfeng Village...... And they have been with you for nearly three years, and they should be a little worried about you this time when they are out and have not returned. ”

Yun Xiao looked at the woman's face with complicated eyes, and replied in a low voice, "Yes." ”
