The sky is blue and high, and the sun is even a little strong. However, there was not a trace of heat on the Ice Peak, and it was even cold and cold. It is rumored that most of the monks of the Ice Spirit Root of the Shangqing Sect have entered the Ice Spirit Peak. This peak has a long history, and it is very good to be inherited.

Chu Ran was wearing a black coat and red robe, a black belt around his waist, and Xie Gong's clogs on his feet. Wide sleeves, between walking, sleeves flying, black hair belt, hanging to the waist. Looking from afar, what an elegant and handsome young man.

And a few steps in front of him, there was a white-robed sword cultivator, the white sword sect was spotless, cold and cold, with a cold and cold temperament, handsome and handsome between his eyebrows, and his handsome face was not allowed to enter, Qi Xiuning was worthy of being the first of this cold and boring Ice Peak, and his temperament was like this mountain.

Qi Xiuning walked unhurriedly, and Chu Ran followed behind him. Chu Ran's cheeks were pale, his lips were not bloody, his lips were pale in color, and he coughed a few times from time to time, looking like a sick and weak young man, and the feeling of a weak willow helping the wind.

Qi Xiuning, who was walking in front of him with his back to him, heard a suppressed low cough from behind him, his good-looking eyebrows furrowed, and the expression on his face was not good-looking. But he didn't say a word, but walked slowly.

Actually, there is no need to ......

He's used to it, and he can't die anyway. No matter how painful the pain is, no matter how uncomfortable the illness is, as long as he can't move or is paralyzed and can't walk, he can endure the rest, not to mention that it's just a few steps!

However, Qi Xiuning has this heart, and he will not be uninterested in opening his mouth to brush his kindness.

Chu Ran followed Qi Xiuning into a coniferous forest, and the trees in the forest all grew straight, taller and straighter than ordinary trees, and rushed up. The leaves are like needles and are evergreen in all seasons. This is a tree endemic to Bingluo Peak, which is hardy and frost-resistant. Even the ice and snow cannot stop them from taking root in the frozen soil, and their roots strive to absorb nutrients, grow upwards vigorously, and yearn for sunshine and rain. Therefore, they can take root in such a harsh environment of the Ice Peak, and become trees and forests.

The interval between the trees is not short, and the conifers do not have lush branches and leaves that continue to grow outward, and most of them are tightly clustered together. It does not shade the sun, allowing the sun to shine into the forest without hindrance. The light was bright and sunny, and there was no coldness and gloom of other vast forests.

It was the first time Chu Ran saw this kind of coniferous forest that only grew in cold areas, and he was a little curious for a while, and his eyes couldn't help but look around a few more times. Coming to Ice Spirit Peak is like coming to another world. It is completely different from the noise outside, as if it is isolated from the world, and does not accept the invasion of external disturbances. Cold, quiet and peaceful. Without a trace of smoke and dust, being in a cluster makes people's whole body and mind fall silent.

He seemed to understand a little, why Qi Xiuning had such a cold and transparent temperament, one side of the landscape and one side of the people. Thinking about the several disciples of Ice Spirit Peak that he met along the way when he came, all of them were ice and snow-like figures. With a sword on his body, he has a way in his heart and a clear eye. Cold as ice and snow, sharp as a sword.

Chu Ran was fortunate at the moment, he had a good sense of Ice Spirit Peak, and he had a high evaluation, and even his favorability towards Qi Xiuning was rising. He wants to worship such a person as a teacher, which seems to be very good and worth looking forward to.

There are also many animals in the taiga, such as chubby birds with silver-gray feathers standing on the branches, with a long pointed beak and two wings on their backs...... Compared to its chubby and round body, the wings were negligible.

Such...... Can it really fly?

Such a sentence flashed through Chu Ran's mind, and then he couldn't help but stop. He stared at the row of chubby-looking fat birds on the tree, and the corners of his mouth twitched, eating so fat, do you want to be made into a roast bird? You can't fly, it's not too easy to catch, okay? Ask for a little work ethic to be a bird, at the very least, you have to be able to fly......

Qi Xiuning, who was walking in front, saw that the people behind him did not follow, so he paused and looked back. I saw the young man standing there stupidly, staring at the tree with a pair of eyes.

He moved his gaze to the direction where the young man was looking, and saw a flock of equally silly birds, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but show a smile, and he said in a low voice, "What are you looking at?"

When Chu Ran heard this, he retracted his gaze and glanced at him, his expression was a little hesitant, and said, "I'm thinking, can they fly?"

"Why can't you fly?" Qi Xiuning asked.

"Because I'm too fat!" Chu Ran said, with a firm determination in his tone, "So fat, I definitely can't fly, just chirp, and it will fall!"

Then, he began to sing, "I'm a fat and fat bird, I fly and fly, I don't fly high!"

"Because, I'm too fat, I fly fly, I can't fly high!"

"......" Qi Xiuning.

"Poof-" A chuckle, Qi Xiuning couldn't help laughing, his eyebrows and eyes were smiling, those eyes like ice and snow, with a thick smile at the moment, like the spring water in March after melting, the water was shining and moving.

Qi Xiuning's smile was irrepressible, and he tried hard to smooth the corners of his upturned mouth, but failed. I had to cover my mouth with my hand, turned my head and laughed quietly for a while.

"......" Chu Ran.

Chu Ran, who realized what stupid thing he had done.

Looking at Chu Ran, whose expression was annoyed and embarrassed, and was about to get angry, Qi Xiuning immediately stopped laughing, and his handsome face returned to the cold appearance just now, and the sudden change in painting style did not violate the current cold appearance of Hefu in the slightest, it was really unexpected, it was the same person with the gentle eyes that smiled just now. This face-changing skill is also full of points.

"It can fly. Qi Xiuning said.

Chu Ran was annoyed in his heart, so he deliberately provoked: "How do you know that it can fly? You are not it." ”

Qi Xiuning looked at him gently, as if he was tolerating an unreasonable child, and his tone was also doting with something that he might not have noticed, "I've seen it." ”

Chu Ran raised his head and looked at him inquiringly.

Qi Xiuning continued: "In the past, when I was very hungry, I would go to climb trees, dig birds' nests, catch birds, and cook them. ”

"This bird looks like it's covered in meat and it's delicious. And silly, easy to catch. Qi Xiuning said.

Chu Ran was very surprised when he heard this, he didn't want to be a person like Qi Xiuning at all, he didn't want to be a person like a mortal rao immortal, and he would even dig a bird's nest to catch birds. "You caught it?" Chu Ran asked curiously.

"No cherry blossoms," Qi Xiuning said, "They look silly, but in fact they are very shrewd and fly very fast." ”

Hearing this, Chu Ran turned his head and glanced at the fat birds on the tree, with round bodies and negligible wings in comparison, this can also fly? and fly very fast? Chu Ran had an expression of disbelief.

Seeing this, Qi Xiuning didn't say anything, just whistled at the birds in the tree. Then I saw that one of the birds turned his head and glanced at Qi Xiuning with his pitch-black beanie eyes, and then ...... Then it fluttered and flapped its wings, like a spiral taking off, its round flesh whirring and covered with snow-white feathers...... It's flying!

The two wings fanned and fanned, and the round body slowly flew into the air, and then flew forward, flying, flying, flying......

"......" Chu Ran.

Chu Ran's eyes widened, "Really...... It's flying!"

It didn't fall!

Chu Ran had a stunned expression on his face.

The fat bird flew towards Qi Xiuning, Qi Xiuning stretched out his hand towards it, the white and slender bony fingers were very beautiful, and the fat bird landed on his fingertips. It stands to reason that beautiful men and cute birds, this should be a pleasing and cute scene.

However, when Chu Ran saw this scene, he had a slumped expression.

Qi Xiuning: Your finger is not broken, and you are not broken! This is unscientific. That fat bird looks very heavy! That's not a butterfly! That's a fat fat bird! It's just that the three views are about to be refreshed.

Qi Xiuning, who has always been cold to people, showed a rare smile at the fat bird, and reached out and took out a handful of corn kernels to feed it. At first glance, it's the people who often do this kind of thing. Chu Ran was a little impressed by him, he looked like a cold and alienated man, but he didn't think of being so loving to animals.

"I didn't have anything to eat, I was hungry, and I often grabbed food with this flock of silver-gray birds. Qi Xiuning said in a casual tone, as if he didn't realize what a terrifying topic he was.

"......" Chu Ran.

Once again, the three views were refreshed......

"Grab the ...... to grab the food," Chu Ran said in a somewhat bad tone, "and a ...... Birds?"

"It's not one, it's a group. Qi Xiuning corrected his words.

"......" Chu Ran.

Is there a difference? This only highlights your meanness and shamelessness, and you don't even let go of the birds! Well, you were also a young and ignorant child at that time......

Qi Xiuning's tone was calm, and he said lightly, "Don't look at this group of silver gray birds, they look stupid, but they are very clever. They all dare to compete with black bears, and there is no animal in this forest that has not been eaten by them. ”

"......" Chu Ran.

Is this really just a bird?

"They eat everything. Qi Xiuning said, "Gluttony, no moderation, that's why you grow so fat." ”

"Be bold and dare to take the food. The movements are fast and violent, and after grabbing food, they flapped their wings and flew away immediately, even tigers and bears couldn't help them. Qi Xiuning said in a light tone, "At the beginning, I snatched food from them so that I didn't starve to death. ”

"......" Chu Ran.

The plot is reversed at once, from the cool and crazy crazy snatching of birds from the fighter among the birds, to the tragic life of the orphans of Ice Peak. The change was so fast that he couldn't bear it for a while, and he didn't know what to do.

Half ringing.

Chu Ran said: "You ...... What kind of life are you living? Did your master abuse you?"

When Qi Xiuning heard this, he looked at him, smiled, and said, "Master, he just doesn't know how to raise children." ”

"Don't worry, I won't let you do this. Qi Xiuning stretched out his other hand, touched his head, and said, "I'm very experienced." ”

"......" Chu Ran.

Chu Ran, who heard this, didn't know why he had a bad premonition in his heart, he looked up at him and said, "What experience?"

"When I was 10 years old, I started raising a lot of silver gray birds. Qi Xiuning glanced at the chubby silver-gray bird that stayed on his fingertips and pecked at the corn kernels in his palm, and said with a hint of pride in his tone, "So, you don't have to worry." ”

"......" Chu Ran.

No, I'm worried!

Use the experience of raising birds to raise apprentices or something...... Daojun, even if you are practicing, why don't you find a variety of creatures?

Not to mention...... The bird was still so fat, it looked like it was high fat, high blood pressure, high blood sugar......

The fat bird, who pecked at the corn kernels in Qi Xiuning's hand, flapped his wings mercilessly and flew away, personally interpreting what it means to be ruthless.

Qi Xiuning looked at Chu Ran with a stupid expression, and couldn't help but smile at the corner of his lips, and reached out to rub his head, "Get up, you haven't called me yet." ”

Chu Ran heard the sound, raised his head, and looked at him with dark eyes.

"What should you call me?" Qi Xiuning said in a seductive tone.

There was a silence, half a ring.

“...... Master. Chu Ran said softly.

"Well, for the apprentice of the teacher. Qi Xiuning's voice was clear, and his voice was gentle.

Like the spring water in the lake that melts in March, the stones fall, bringing ripples. In addition to the silver finch, there are many other animals living in the taiga. They hide in the forest, and they do not easily show their bodies, just like the spirits of the forest.

A spotted sika deer runs through the forest, with a nimble body. It was a stag with branch-like horns on its head. Chu Ran looked at him, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva, looking delicious.

"Huh-"

A chuckle came from the top of his head, and Chu Ran immediately blushed, oh no! I forgot that there was someone around.

"You can't eat the animals here. Qi Xiuning said, "These are all free-range from the master and his old man." ”

When Chu Ran heard this, he immediately looked annoyed, and said, "Am I such a greedy person?"

"I'm not you, I don't dig out the bird's nest. Chu Ran said.

Qi Xiuning only smiled and shook his head when he heard his words, but he didn't say anything. The eyes as cold as ice and snow, looking at him gently, the corners of his lips curled slightly, and the expression on his handsome face was doting, with a pampering look like whatever you want, you are whatever you are.

Chu Ran was seen by him, and there was no anger in his heart, and he turned his head, forget it! Such a person really made him lose his temper at all, as if he was making trouble unreasonably.

Inevitably the temper is too good...... This Master.

Because of the ups and downs of emotions, Chu Ran's originally pale face took on a hint of ruddy, his breathing became much warmer, and the whole person became vivid, with color, no longer like a cold and pale portrait. Qi Xiuning looked at him like this, and his eyebrows, which had been frowning, stretched. Sure enough, it's better to be lively. Qi Xiuning walked slowly, his handsome and fair face looked cold and detached, and his mind was thinking endlessly, raising his apprentice thirteen blinking

The first trick is to feed the apprentice fatter.

The second trick is to raise the apprentice to be lively and cheerful, and the child is still willful, don't be too well-behaved.

The third trick is to make the apprentice trust me, rely on me, and like me......

......

Is it really good to think about such a thing seriously?

The old ones don't repair!

I didn't know that Qi Xiuning's brain hole had opened up at all, and Chu Ran, who had written a thick book and a brick-like encyclopedia, looked around with an interesting look.

People always have a strong curiosity and desire for the unknown, and this ancient taiga that he has never stepped into is extremely strange to him. Other animals often jump out of the forest, such as the rabbit with long ears and red eyes, which has always been covered in snow white and covered with thick fur, jumping out of a pile of bushes. The rabbit grows very fat and strong and big, twice the size of an ordinary rabbit, its eyes look around vigilantly, and the three-petal mouth keeps moving, really smashing it.

Qi Xiuning, who was walking in front, also saw it, and saw that he reacted very indifferently and took out a carrot from the storage ring and threw it at the white rabbit. Then I saw that the fat and clumsy white rabbit jumped up with a quick reaction that was different from its appearance, caught the flying carrot with its short forelimbs, and then stuffed it into its mouth, and bit it rattle.

"......" Chu Ran.

With a wrough expression, Chu Ran was sure that he saw the sharp fangs in the soft and cute rabbit's mouth.

Is this really a rabbit?

Mutate it!

"This is the wind rabbit, a kind of alien beast, with rough skin and thick meat, not delicious. Qi Xiuning saw Chu Ran's eyes staring directly at the white rabbit, and explained.

"......" Chu Ran.

I'm almost going to hehe, okay? In your eyes, am I that kind of person?

Do you know how to eat!

All right...... After hearing that the rabbit had rough skin and thick flesh and was not delicious, his interest in it had indeed dropped a lot, and he couldn't eat it anyway.

The two continued to walk forward, and Chu Ran said, "Is that rabbit also raised by the ancestor?"

"Hmm. Qi Xiuning said succinctly, "When I was in my time, Master was worried that I would be alone, so he picked up a lot of animals and came back to accompany me. ”

"......" Chu Ran.

That's not my master.

Fortunately, that's just my ancestor.

I don't belong to him, Chu Ran was glad in his heart for a moment, he remembered his own ancestor Lin Shuang, who was a good water Taoist in Wufeng Cliff, and he only thought that he was a little snake spirit disease, but he didn't know that he was so unreliable. Raising an apprentice, it's simple. I didn't give food to the hungry, and I was afraid that the apprentice would be lonely and found a group of animals and beasts as companions. Qi Xiuning's cold temperament is raised in this way. I didn't become autistic, so thank you.

"It's here. Qi Xiuning suddenly stopped and said.

Chu Ran stopped thinking nonsense, raised his eyes and looked forward, only to see that there was a waterfall in front of him, falling into the water turbulently, the water fell to the ground, splashing a wave of white flowers. At the bottom of the waterfall, the water falls into a shallow river. The water of the stream is clear, the bottom can be seen, and several large round stones are exposed to the stream, which is washed clean by the flowing water and smooths the edges and corners.

The waterfall is like a curtain of water, and the lush plants around it form a green dock, with mountains, water, trees, and fish.

It's a beautiful wonderland, and next to the waterfall stands a humble wooden house. It's a great place to live next to the mountains and by the water.

From a distance, you can see a young man in cloth sitting in front of the wooden house, his eyes looking at the landscape in front of him, his expression cold. Chu Ran recognized him as a good water Daoist, a young man named Lin Shuang who had appeared in Wufeng Cliff.

At this time, Lin Shuang was still dressed like that and had not changed. But his temperament is completely different, in Wufeng Cliff, he is really simple and ignorant of the world, an ordinary inconspicuous teenager. And at this moment, he is as tall as the mountain, majestic, and immobile like a mountain. As indifferent as water, the temperament is cold, and the goodness is like water.

Can a person really change so much?

Two people who have no similarity at all, even if they pretend, they can't pretend to be! The Oscar winner's divine acting skills are afraid that they can't do so.

"Let's go!" Qi Xiuning said, leading him towards the Shanshui Dao people.

Coming to Shanshui Daorao, Qi Xiuning shouted, "Master." ”

The Shanshui Daoist who had been in a daze with the mountains and rivers moved his eyelids and reacted, he glanced at Qi Xiuning in front of him, answered, and then his eyes fell on Chu Ran behind him.

Chu Ran lowered his eyelids, his face remained silent, and he let him look at it.

Half a sound, Shanshui Dao said: "Yes, very good." ”

Then he casually picked up the 10,000 black thick and viscous liquid beside him, handed it to Chu Ran, and said, "Drink it." ”

Chu Ran glanced at the bowl in his hand, said no, took it, and opened his mouth to drink. There was no hesitation in the whole process, and there was no frown.

This bowl of black and unknown thick viscous liquid was very large, and Chu Ran drank it for a while before finishing it. The taste was terrible, disgusting, unpalatable, bitter and astringent, with a strange medicinal smell that did not come out.

After Chu Ran finished drinking, as soon as the bowl left his mouth, Qi Xiuning on the side reached out and took it in a timely manner, and said in a low voice: "Open your mouth." ”

Chu Ran didn't know why, he subconsciously opened his mouth, and then Qi Xiuning stuffed something into his mouth, which was sweet, a piece of sugar, with the fragrance of mint. The sweetness and fragrance of the mint diluted the bitterness in his mouth, and Chu Ran couldn't help but lick the sugar in his mouth with his tongue.

Seeing this, the Shanshui Dao people on the side looked at Qi Xiuning who looked like no one else.

Qi Xiuning turned around and entered the house with the bowl, and the Shanshui Daoist retracted his gaze, looked at Chu Ran and said, "How is it?"

"How do you feel now?" said Zen Suido.

Chu Ran pondered carefully for a while and said, "The sugar is very sweet, with the fragrance and coolness of mint. But I like fruit candy, and rock sugar gourds are also good. ”

Shanshui Daoren glanced at him, and said expressionlessly: "I'm not asking you about the taste of sugar, how do you feel in your body." ”

"......" Chu Ran.

Well, Chu Ran's face did not change, and he said in a calm tone: "I feel very good, very energetic, my body is a little hot, my heart is swollen, and it hurts a little...... Poof—"

Suddenly, Chu Ran spurted out a mouthful of blood.

His face turned pale in an instant, as white as paper.

Qi Xiuning walked out of the house, just in time to see Chu Ran falling backwards, he hurriedly quickened his pace, came behind him in a few steps, and caught him.

Holding him half in his arms, Qi Xiuning raised his head and looked at Shanshui Dao with inquiring eyes.

Facing his gaze, Shanshuidao said without fluctuation: "He has a mouthful of blood in his heart, just spit it out, just spit it out." ”

"This bowl of medicine was not drunk in vain. Shanshui Dao is humane, and then Qi Xiuning said, "You carry him into the house." ”

Qi Xiuning didn't say a word, hugged Chu Ran and turned around and entered the house.

He put Chu Ran on the bamboo bed in the house, looked at the young man on the bed, his handsome face was pale, there was no blood, his lips were white, his beautiful eyes were closed, and the whole person looked thin and sickly.

He looked at it for a moment, then got up and stepped aside.

Shanshui Daoist walked over, reached out and picked up Chu Ran's wrist, and put his fingers on his wrist. After half a sound, he said: "His internal organs are all eroded and corrupted by toxins, and they are gray, even if my Yuan Force probes in, it can't arouse a little anger." ”

"His internal organs are dead. Shanshui Daoren's voice was cold, "He should have died together, strange ......"

After a moment of silence, he continued: "There is a life in him that hangs on his life. ”

"I've never seen it before, vigorous and exuberant vitality. ”

"He is alive because of this vitality. "Good water is humane," I don't know which master made it. ”

He frowned, as if he was thinking carefully about who would save the boy. But none of the people he knew had such a strong and vigorous life to bring the dead back to life.

Shanshui Dao is humane: "Perhaps only when the Qing Emperor is alive can he have this ability." ”

Qi Xiuning frowned when he heard this, and looked at the pale and sick young man on the bed, with pity and distress in his eyes that he hadn't even noticed, "Is there no other way?"

"Since he is dead, how can he be reborn?" said Shanshuidao, "but he can take some elixir to relieve his pain, and judging from the facts, the elixir still works on his body." ”

"That's all we can do. "Good water is humane.

Half-loud, Qi Xiu Ningcai: "I know." ”

"Master, there is no need to tell him about his body. Qi Xiuning said, "Don't let him suffer anymore." ”

When the Shanshui Dao people heard this, they bowed their heads and said, "That's it, it's good." ”
