"Dad, mother, big brother is back!"

The little sister was like a lark announcing the good news, shouting from afar.

The angry appearance before is all gone.

Xia Yuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion, a woman's heart was needled, and the little junior sister had really grown up.

The brothers and sisters also gathered around, looking at Xia Yuan with concern, asking questions, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Zhu Zhenyue stroked his long hair, and looked at Xia Yuan with a fixed expression: "It's good for Yuan'er to come back, rest for a day, and tomorrow I should go to Bixiao Cliff to think about it, it is not only to think about it, but also to cultivate." ”

Xia Yuan knew that this was a man who looked like a master's father on the surface, but he was actually very worried about himself, Jin Shuang said that he had received several flying pigeon summons, and if he knew that he had been in the six doors for eight or nine days, wouldn't the master write a letter every two days to urge and ask?

His heart was also warm, "Yes, Master." ”

Zhu Zhenyue said to the surrounding disciples again: "This time the Nangong family flew to wreak havoc, as a teacher, passing through Tianou City, and also saw the horror of the Nangong family master, as well as the dead bodies of the three elders, this murderer is not only strong, but also brutal and unreasonable, you must be careful outside...

By the way, Yuan'er, you come with me. ”

After the crowd dispersed.

Xia Yuan and Master came to the inner hall together, which was the place where Master practiced in retreat on weekdays.

Shi Niang is also there.

The little sister wanted to come over, but was kicked out by the sister again.

Inside the room, there is an ethereal and dusty white cloud ink drawing hanging in the center, and the four big characters "Sword Heart is Clean" are written on the side of the picture.

Zhu Zhenyue suddenly said: "Yuan'er, how do you look at this word?"

Xia Yuan looked up, only to feel that the font was magnificent, making people indulge in it just at a glance, and the innocent seemed to wash away the lead in his heart, leaving only the sword.

Obviously, this ink painting is very unusual, and its brushstrokes are infused with a strong sense of mood.

Therefore, the person who paints can let people experience the artistic conception he conveys through this painting:

- ethereal and dustless, transcendent and extraordinary.

Xia Yuan carefully experienced.

After a stick of incense, the time passed.

He was already immersed in it, because it was in tune with his hermit's state of mind.

When Xia Yuan looked at it, the master and the master were waiting quietly on the side, and when they saw him like this, they glanced at each other, showing joy.

Ning Xiaoran said: "Yuan'er, I didn't expect you to fit this artistic conception so well. ”

Xia Yuan heard Shi Niang's question, thought about it, and replied: "Ethereal and dustless, it should be a sword heart." ”

Zhu Zhenyue stroked his long hair and smiled with satisfaction.

This picture, but the secret map of [Heartless Kendo], is a picture that belongs to the general outline, and it is also one of the top secrets of the Heartless Academy.

He glanced at Ning Xiaoran, looked at Xia Yuan again, and added: "Yuan'er, the most affectionate is ruthless, you are still a little short of this." ”

"Master, why?"

"Yuan'er, what do you think is shattering the earth lock and breaking through the heavenly seal? This is what makes you not like a mortal... If the affection is deep, it will become an obstacle, and only by being ruthless can we truly protect one party and become the guardian of one party.

But do you feel that this is far away from us?"

"Yes. ”

"Me and your master are like this, and even the master you were killed by the Demon Sect is also average, so we are almost stuck in front of the second grade of the Heavenly Seal, and we can't go any further.

But you can well integrate into the artistic conception of this sword heart, better than me and your teacher, you are a good child, don't be heroic and short-lived, and have a long love for children. ”

Xia Yuan exhaled lightly.

"Master, I can't be ruthless, what I understand may be a little different from yours. ”

Zhu Zhenyue thought about it, and he was not reluctant, after all, he had not understood it thoroughly, so he said: "Yuan'er, then try your best to give it a try, after all, the understanding of the teacher may not be all right."

But you've wasted a lot of effort in the past, so you'll have to redouble your efforts in the future.

And in recent days, the rivers and lakes have become more and more unstable, and the master may not be able to guarantee that he will be able to keep the Wuxin Xue Palace, if the master goes, you can fight for breath, and the master will also be at ease......"

Ning Xiaoran said angrily on the side: "Lao Zhu, what are you talking nonsense." ”

She looked at Xia Yuan again, "Yuan'er, don't have too much pressure..."

Zhu Zhenyue sighed: "Mother, Yuan'er is already eighteen years old, if you protect him like this, he will be wasted, it is rare to be such a good seedling." ”

Xia Yuan looked at the two of them, and a warmth arose in his heart, "Master, Master, I... Try it. ”

"Good!"

Zhu Zhenyue took out a red jade box from his arms and handed it to Xia Yuan, "This is the red dragon jade eye, you should know what this is, from now on, the master will give this thing to you." ”

Xia Yuan took the box and clenched it.

...

...

"Senior brother, my father actually gave you the red dragon jade eye, and he never let me touch it. The little junior sister walked beside Xia Yuan, pouting, and playing with her braids.

She was accompanying Xia Yuan up the mountain.

"Senior brother, you have to break through early..."

"Senior brother, I always had nightmares two days ago, that is, when you went to the six gates, I always dreamed that as soon as you tore your face, you became the evil ghost who slaughtered the Nangong family, and then I was so scared that I was sweating profusely and woke up directly.

You've told me stories about painted skins before, and I'm really scared. ”

Xia Yuan stopped, leaned his face over, and said with a smile: "Tear it up." ”

The little junior sister really stretched out her hand, grabbed his cheeks with both hands, and scratched her nails like tickling, but she still didn't laugh.

Xia Yuan asked, "What's wrong?"

Little junior sister: "I'm afraid." ”

"Afraid of what?"

Xia Yuan is getting more and more unable to understand his sister's thinking, and his jumping is too strong.

Little junior sister: "The Nangong family is not weak, and the strength of the head of the family is not much different from that of my father, but that evil ghost can easily torture and kill the head of the Nangong family, along with the three elders, in a short period of time...

Does that mean that this evil ghost can also slaughter my Wuxin Xuegong so easily, kill my father, kill me, kill my senior brother, kill everyone?"

Xia Yuan's expression was quiet.

Little sister: "I'm really scared, I'm so afraid that the evil ghost will suddenly jump out and kill everyone." ”

Seeing the little junior sister's frightened appearance, Xia Yuan hugged her, patted her back comfortingly, and said with a smile: "It's okay, there really is a day when the senior brother will stand up and beat them all away!"

The little sister was suddenly hugged, feeling very relieved and comfortable.

She was a little strange, her senior brother also hugged her when she was a child, why didn't she feel this way at that time?

Suddenly...

Zhu Juneng came out in the distance, "Senior brother, senior brother..."

He chased after him from the distant steps with a large package on his back.

The little junior sister's face turned red, and she hurriedly pushed Xia Yuan away.

Zhu Juneng just saw that scene, his eyes glared, and then he turned his gaze to the side, and shouted in his mouth: "Oh, mom, where did my senior brother go, no, no, I have such a broken memory, and I forgot to take something again..."

With that, he turned around and ran down the mountain...

Xia Yuan shouted from afar: "Old Seven, I'm here." ”

Zhu Juneng seemed to have become deaf, no matter how Xia Yuan shouted, he shouldn't be able to hear it, and ran down the mountain vigorously, smirking as he ran, and after a while, even the shadow was gone.
