It was a dimly lit stone chamber with a stone bed on which a man lay on it.

The man's upper body was naked, and his left chest was wrapped in muslin, and blood stains could be faintly seen.

Although the man's face was extremely pale, judging by the slight heaving of his chest, he was still alive.

Looking closely by the faint yellow candlelight, this man turned out to be Yang Guo, who had been stabbed to death by Zhu Qingyun's sword.

Before long, two women came from the outside, one after the other.

In front of her was an old woman, about fifty or sixty years old, dressed in a coarse cloth garment, with goosebumps, and a very ugly appearance.

Walking behind is a young woman, dressed in white, with long hair like a waterfall, although she is not powdered, but her complexion is beautiful, like a fairy.

The two stood still in front of the stone bed, looked at Yang Guo, who was unconscious on the bed, and only heard the old woman say: "Miss, this kid has been sleeping for three days and three nights, but there is no sign of waking up, I'm afraid he won't survive." ”

The young woman's voice was very cold, and she said, "Grandma Sun, don't talk nonsense. Since Brother Yun said that he could live, he would definitely be able to live. ”

The old woman who was called Grandma Sun sighed and said, "Being stabbed in the heart by a sword but not dying, this kid is indeed blessed with a great life." ”

The young woman said: "I have heard Master say that there is a meridian above the ventricle of a person, and after being stabbed, it will bleed nonstop, causing a short period of suspended animation, but as long as the bleeding is stopped in time, there will be no danger to life. I think it is this meridian that Brother Yun stabbed him, so that he can pick up a life as a disciple. ”

Grandma Sun couldn't help but wonder and said, "There is such wonderful knowledge, my wife is really unheard of." ”

Xu was disturbed by the sound of the two talking, and Yang Guo on the bed suddenly frowned and let out a painful moan.

Grandma Sun immediately rejoiced: "Miss, this kid is awake!" ”

The young woman stepped forward and looked at Yang Guo.

Yang Guo opened his eyes with difficulty, saw a figure vaguely, and called out in an astringent voice: "Master......"

Grandma Sun said: "Yang Guo, wake up!" ”

Yang Guo gradually came to his senses, looked at the two people in front of him, and said in a difficult voice: "You guys...... Is it black and white impermanence? How is it female? ”

Grandma Sun laughed and said, "Good boy, as soon as you open your eyes, you will say that we are not ghosts, we are alive and well." ”

Yang Guo looked surprised and said, "What did you say?" Am I not dead? ”

Grandma Sun smiled: "Yes, you are not dead, you are still a big living person!" ”

Yang Guo struggled to sit up, but the pain in his chest was unbearable, so he lay back on the stone bed, looked around, and said, "Where is this?" Who are you? ”

Grandma Sun said: "This is the tomb of the living dead of the ancient tomb sect of Zhongnan Mountain. My surname is Sun, you can call me Grandma Sun. This is the current head of our Tomb Sect, surnamed Long, and the people in the rivers and lakes call Xiaolongnu yes. ”

When Yang Guo heard that he was still in Zhongnan Mountain, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said, "Why did I come here?" ”

It was the little dragon girl who answered, her voice was murmuring, like a quiet spring in the mountains, very pleasant to the ear, and it was somewhat similar to Zhu Qingyun's voice, "Three days ago, Brother Yun sent you here to take care of me and Grandma Sun on your behalf. ”

Yang Guo was stunned for a long time before he realized that the "Brother Yun" in Xiaolongnu's mouth was his master Zhu Qingyun, and he couldn't help but be surprised: "You know my master?" ”

Grandma Sun said: "Don't you know, Qingyun is Miss Long's life-saving benefactor." ”

Yang Guo had always known that although the Quanzhen Sect and the Ancient Tomb Sect lived next to each other, they had always been well water and did not interfere with river water, and he couldn't help but be surprised that Zhu Qingyun and Xiaolongnu still had this kind of relationship.

Granny Sun didn't mean to say it in detail, but said: "Before leaving, Qingyun instructed us to tell you, from now on, you will be a dead person to the Quanzhen Sect, and when you recover from your injuries, you will leave Zhongnan Mountain as soon as possible, and never come back." ”

Yang Guo was stunned, and said to himself: "Why didn't I die?" Master stabbed me in the heart, and I should have died. ”

Grandma Sun said: "Miss, my wife doesn't understand what you just said, you come to sue him." ”

The little dragon girl told him how to make a fake death.

When Yang Guo heard this, he couldn't help but be moved, and muttered: "Master, I know that you are reluctant to let your son die, and you cherish your son." ”

Grandma Sun said, "Boy, did you hear what I just said?" Our Tomb Sect has always refused to take in men, so when you heal from your injuries, you will leave quickly, you know? ”

"No!" Yang Guo said in a deep voice: "I will not leave Zhongnan Mountain. ”

Xiaolongnu frowned and said, "If the people of the Quanzhen Sect find out that you are not dead, won't Brother Yun's hard work be in vain?" ”

Yang said: "The Tomb Sect is a forbidden place for the Quanzhen Sect, as long as I stay here, I won't be discovered." ”

Xiaolongnu said: "The ancestor mother-in-law once made a rule that the tomb of the living dead cannot accept men. It is a broken rule for me to keep you here to recuperate, and I will never allow you to stay here for long. ”

Yang said: "I don't live in the tomb of the living dead, and when I get better, I'll go outside and make a wooden house, and I won't disturb the two of you." ”

"The place outside the tomb is not under my jurisdiction, it is naturally up to you." Xiaolongnu said: "Grandma Sun, you stay and take care of him." ”

With that, the little dragon girl turned and left.

***

After recuperating in the ancient tomb for more than half a month, Yang Guo's injuries were healed by eight to nine times out of ten.

So he went and cut down some pine trees, and really built a wooden house outside the tomb.

Granny Sun has nothing to do except serve the little dragon girl's food, clothing, and daily life, and often comes to help Yang Guo. The old and the young quickly became affectionate, like a mother and son, and they were very affectionate.

It was another half moon, and the cabin was finally finished.

After Grandma Sun helped him clean up, Yang Guo moved out of the tomb of the living dead and became neighbors with Xiaolongnu.

It's night, and the moon is bright and the stars are scarce.

Yang Guo sat on a hill, looking at the direction of Chongyang Palace, and the thoughts in his heart almost burst out of his chest.

It's right in front of you, but it's out of reach.

The thought of seeing Zhu Qingyun was so strong and incendiary that it occupied almost all of his mind.

Emotions eventually triumph over reason.

Yang Guo stood up abruptly and rushed in the direction of Chongyang Palace.

Almost all of the Quanzhen disciples who patrol at night gather in the front mountain, and the back mountain is rugged, densely forested, and has many cliffs, so there are very few people patrolling.

Yang Guo climbed up from the back mountain and came to the Sword Cliff.

The past flashed in front of him, and Yang Guo had mixed feelings in his heart.

Looking at the direction of the Tianquan Palace, there were no lights, and I thought that they were all asleep.

Yang Guo hid in the dark night, walked by the wall, flashed into the Tianquan Palace, and went straight to the outside of Zhu Qingyun's room.

Zhu Qingyun never bolted the door at night, Yang Guo gently pushed the door in, and closed the door reflexively.

Zhu Qingyun's familiar cold voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Pass? ”

Yang Guo's nose was sore, and he almost burst into tears, but it was easy to hold back, and he replied in a dumb voice: "It's me, Master." ”

Zhu Qingyun sat up from the bed and said in the dark, "Come on, come here." ”

Yang Guo walked over quickly, stood in front of the bed, and looked at Zhu Qingyun for a moment.

The long hair that was always tied up high during the day is now scattered on the shoulders like a waterfall, and the neckline of the undershirt is slightly open, revealing a piece of white porcelain-like skin, and the whole person exudes a lazy beauty to the extreme.

No matter what, any appearance of Zhu Qingyun is extremely beautiful in Yang Guo's eyes.

Zhu Qingyun patted the position next to him and said, "Sit down." ”

Yang Guo obediently sat down beside him, and the familiar body fragrance immediately lingered on the tip of his nose, soothing his restless heart.

Zhu Qingyun said with concern: "Is the injury a big deal?" ”

Yang Guo looked at him and nodded.

Zhu Qingyun said: "Forced by the situation that day, I haven't taught you a lesson, you must not be so impulsive in the future, think twice before acting, you know?" ”

Yang Guo nodded again.

Zhu Qingyun said: "Are you here to say goodbye tonight?" ”

Yang Guo shook his head and said, "I won't leave Zhongnan Mountain." ”

Zhu Qingyun frowned and said, "You are now a dead person in the entire Quanzhen Sect, how can you stay in Zhongnan Mountain?" ”

Yang said: "I built a wooden house at the entrance of the tomb of the living dead, and now I live there. It is forbidden for the True Religion to be discovered. ”

Zhu Qingyun said: "Then you are not afraid of being discovered when you visit Chongyang Palace at night now?" ”

Yang Guo said: "I ...... I miss Master so much, that's why I ......."

Zhu Qingyun said helplessly: "Guo'er, you are too willful. ”

Yang Guo said cautiously: "Master, have you ever been angry?" ”

Zhu Qingyun said: "Don't call me master again, the relationship between you and me as master and apprentice has long been over." ”

"No!" Yang Guo hurriedly said: "You will always be my master!" ”

Zhu Qingyun didn't want to argue with him, and said, "You go, don't come to me again in the future." ”

Yang Guo wanted to shake his hand, but he didn't dare after all, he withdrew his hand and put it at his side, clenched it into a fist, and said gloomily: "I know that Master is for my good, but I can't listen to Master this time." Since Master saved me and I survived, my previous vow is still valid. I said that I would never abandon Master. Even if you can only look at the other side of Zhongnan Mountain in this life, I will always be with you. ”

Zhu Qingyun's heart was moved, but his face was still faint, and he said, "I don't need your company." ”

Yang Guo's heart was sour, but he didn't want to disobey him anymore, and said instead: "I can't stay by your side now, there is something I have to tell you that you know." ”

Zhu Qingyun said indifferently: "Say it, leave Chongyang Palace immediately after speaking." ”

Yang Guo ignored his indifference and said, "One night before Xiao Bi, I returned from sword practice in the Sword Trial Pavilion and found a figure at the door of your room, and disappeared without a trace before I could catch up. Later, you asked me to come in and help you rub your back, and I realized that the figure was watching you bathing. After that, I stayed for more than a month, but the figure never appeared again. In any case, you must be extra careful when bathing in the future. Also, it's better to keep it on a leash when you sleep. ”

Zhu Qingyun nodded indifferently and said, "I know, you can go." ”

Yang Guo stood up, stared at him, and said, "Master, Guo'er is gone." ”

Zhu Qingyun said: "Don't come again in the future." ”

Yang Guo didn't make a sound, turned around and left.
