Chapter 228: It's hard to get involved
"Just try it. Lin Shuihan smiled lightly, then walked in front of her and half-squatted down, although Bai Ningxi was a little overwhelmed at first, but quickly regained her composure, and carefully bent over and lay on his back, for fear that she would accidentally injure him, but what she didn't expect was that Lin Shuihan actually easily picked her up and walked forward naturally, without any effort.
She couldn't help but sigh, "Lin Shuihan, I haven't seen you for a year, your thin body has become much tougher!"
"Yes, I spent a year cultivating in the Qilin Gate, and every day I got up early and went to the back mountain to practice swordsmanship with Nankong, and this body naturally became tough, and I am no longer the weak Lin Shuihan I used to be. ”
"Then you say that, your swordsmanship should have improved a lot?"
"Well, that's nature. ”
"Then what tricks do you know, show me twice!"
"Forget it now, I don't want to attract attention, in a foreign country, let's pay attention. ”
Bai Ningxi couldn't help but be amused by his sentence 'foreign country', laughed behind his back, Lin Shuihan listened to the crisp and hearty laughter behind him, and couldn't help but be happy, "It's so funny?"
"Of course!" Bai Ningxi glanced at him angrily, and then said, "I heard that when you were in the Qilin Gate, you and Nankong Qian were called the Peerless Prince, how did this title come about?
"This ......" Lin Shuihan didn't know how to explain it, "I'm afraid that I was in and out of Nankong Qian all day long, and they were inseparable, so everyone called us that." ”
"Then why is it called Wushuang?"
"Uh...... This, it should be because of Xiaobai, because of my Xiaobai, there is no other in the world. Lin Shuihan smiled lightly, Bai Ningxi suddenly understood, but then asked again, "By the way, where is that Xiaobai now, why is it not by your side now?"
"Ever since that trouble in Frost City, I've let it go, and I've been flying around with it, and I've never seen it once in a year and a half, but I've gotten used to it, and in the middle of the night, it occasionally flies back to see me. ”
"This is your spirit beast, you are so conniving, aren't you afraid that it will be injured outside?"
"How can it be, Xiaobai is so spiritual, knows how to protect others, and must also know how to protect himself, besides, Xiaobai saved us from fire and water three times twice, how can he be in danger and unable to save himself?"
"You're right, but I think you should still protect Xiaobai. Bai Ningxi said to him in an almost commanding tone, Lin Shuihan's eyes were distracted for a moment, as if this tone was familiar, but it was ...... I don't believe it's coming from the mouth of someone behind me......
He smiled slightly, came back to his senses from his thoughts, and hurriedly agreed: "Okay, I promise you, I will protect Xiaobai well and never let it be hurt at all." ”
"Hmm~" Bai Ningxi nodded with satisfaction, then lay on Lin Shuihan's shoulder, and said, "I'm a little sleepy, let me sleep for a while, and then you wake me up when I get to the place." ”
"Good. ”
The spring water is full of four Ze, the summer clouds are many strange peaks, the six mountain ranges of the North Barbarian, stand continuously, the mountains are stacked on top of each other, the clouds and mist are ethereal peaks, look at it up close but there is nothing, Hanyan is high to the top, raise your eyes that is near the sky.
On the top of the mountain, the air is thin, and in that small courtyard there is a person sitting among the clouds, with an expressionless face, shallow breathing, between the eyebrows, isolated from the world, the insects are noisy, the heart is not moved, concentrate on one, and ignore all things.
Suddenly there was a sound of soft footsteps in front of the courtyard, which made his eyelashes tremble slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes, and what caught his eyes was a pair of feet that he was no longer familiar with.
"Senior brother, are you here for the seal again?" Shu Xie Zhenren slowly spoke, spitting out words like mist.
"Senior brother, with your own strength, you can completely strengthen the seal of the Ling Void Space, why do you want to leave this matter to me? Now that the six elders have been in retreat and cultivating, I am the only one left in the entire Qilin Sect. ”
"If the junior brother has nothing to do, he often comes to sit with me and close his eyes to practice, and when he closes his eyes and cultivates, the time is always better. ”
"Senior brother, why...... Always bypass my questions. ”
"If you don't really want to know, why bother answering?"
"Senior brother......
"You're here, I'm afraid it's more than that, right?"
"Senior brother can always understand my mind so easily, I'm in front of you, I'm afraid I can't hide anything. Liu Ye raised the corners of his mouth and smiled helplessly, when Shu Xie Zhenren heard this, a trace of incomprehension flashed between his brows, "If the junior brother wants to hide it, how can I have the ability to snoop?"
Liuye smiled faintly and nodded, "Almost, it's not just him, I think the senior brother is most interested in his heartstone." ”
"Xiaobai?"
"Hmm. ”
"I only know that since Lin Shuihan let it go free, it has been flying around and often disappearing, is it possible, what big thing can a bird do?"
"That's not it!" Liuye simply sat cross-legged, "But a few days ago, I saw that little white flying up to the clouds, and on a whim, I chased after the sword, but, by coincidence, I picked up something, I think, senior brother, you will definitely be interested." ”
"What?"
Liuye suddenly lowered his eyes, condensed spiritual power in the palm of his hand and conjured a white feather, and then put it in front of Shu Xie Zhenren, his pupils were startled when he saw the situation, but he quickly regained his composure, stretched out his hand to take the white feather, and said, "This is Xiaobai's falling feather, right?"
Liuya nodded.
"What's so special about it?"
"Senior brother can tell by touching the feathers on it. Liuye pretended to be mysterious, Shu Xie Zhenren glanced at him lightly, and then gently brushed the feather on it with his index finger, but he didn't feel anything unusual, he looked at Liuye very puzzled.
The corners of his mouth hooked, and the finger holding Shu Xie Zhenren was placed in front of his eyes, and Shu Xie Zhenren was surprised to find that his fingertips had been scratched with a bloody mark, and he actually ...... Don't know yet?
"Presumably, Senior Brother is very shocked in his heart, right?" Liuye asked, but Shuxie Zhenren just put down his hand and did not speak, Liuye saw that he didn't speak, so he said again: " In fact, I don't have a particularly good impression of Lin Shuihan, and I don't have a particularly bad impression, I accepted him as a disciple and let him enter the Qilin Gate, but it was because my senior brother found the meager power of the Tianyu Phoenix in him, since the death of the Tianyu Phoenix, senior brother, you have cultivated the Tao and become the first cultivator of the Nine Immortals in the world, but this world is so big, the sea of people is vast, only the junior brother and I are alone, I know that there is something in your heart that has not been put down so far. ”
Shu Xie Zhenren gradually closed his eyes, and said in a somewhat tired tone: "There is nothing to put down, I have attained the Tao, and my heart is naturally blank." ”
"Is that really the case?" Liuye raised his eyebrows slightly, Shu Xie Zhenren was silent, and he said: "If this is the case, why would Senior Brother be so concerned about Lin Shuihan, when he returned to the Qilin Gate and was punished in the Liuxian Palace, he also deliberately went to the Lingshu Pavilion for him to find a book and let him practice the Imperial Sword Technique?"
"It's just that I want to help him when I see that he is powerless in his cultivation, and nothing else. ”
"Senior brother, do you believe what you said?" Liuye approached Shu Xie Zhenren little by little, "Senior brother has never had selfish intentions towards the other disciples in the sect, even when Xiao Yuan broke through the spirit binding and reached the level of the Five Realms with his own strength, you never cared about a word, and Lin Shuihan, but his body is a little weaker, is it worth it for you, senior brother, to be so concerned about it?"
Shu Xie Zhenren was silent for a moment, looking at Liuye's close face, he seemed to be able to clearly hear the sound of his heart beating faster, before, he always thought that his heart was like water, but now, he actually felt that he was starting to get nervous......?
"Is there anything else you want to tell me about when you came today?"
Seeing that Xie Zhenren didn't admit it, there was no way to do it, in fact, he didn't force him to do anything, he just wanted his senior brother to tell the truth, as long as he told the truth, as long as he said that he cared about Lin Shuihan and cared about everything about that child, then everything he had done to Lin Shuihan so far was worth it......!
"There is indeed one more thing, but the senior brother must not care. Liuye lowered his head and smiled self-deprecatingly, Shu Xie Zhenren frowned, "What's the matter?"
"Lin Shuihan is very likely to fall into the hands of the Demon Realm. ”
"What?!" Shu Xie Zhenren's eyes suddenly sank, "What's the matter?"
"It was Li Shiran and Nankong Qian who came back to report the situation in Zaikong City, I just knew, originally Lin Shuihan's sister was unwell, he went back to visit, and because there was a strange thing in Zaikong City that someone couldn't wake up, I asked Li Shiran and Wang Yize to go down the mountain to have a look, but only Li Shiran and Nankong Qian came back, and they told them that Lin Shuihan was very likely to be taken away by the people of the Annihilation Palace. ”
"The people of the Hehe Palace, what are you going to do with Lin Shuihan when you take them?"
"I don't know the specifics, but I think it's because of this thing. Liuye once again suspended the feather spell in the palm of his hand, and Shu Xie Zhenren glanced at it faintly, "You mean, they suspect that Lin Shuihan and Xiaobai have something to do with the Heavenly Feather Phoenix?"
"I don't know, anyway, the sword I gave Lin Shuihan, I haven't sensed its breath until now. ”
Shu Xie Zhenren fell silent for a long time when he heard this, and only after a long time did he speak lightly: "The disciple in the door is missing, the junior brother uses more snacks to find it, maybe he finds Lin Shuihan, and he can also annihilate the old nest of the Annihilation Palace in one fell swoop, and he can also find out the traitors in the Demon Realm and the Annihilation Palace, the best of both worlds." ”
Liu Ye was stunned for a moment, a little surprised, "Senior brother, doesn't you care, Lin Shuihan's life or death?"
