The difference between sword qi and sword intent is one word, but it is the difference between heaven and earth.

As we all know, for a sword cultivator, sword qi is nothing more than something that can be obtained after penance, while sword intent is much more important and difficult to cultivate! The sword technique can be absorbed by learning, the combat experience can be tempered by actual combat, and the appearance of sword qi only means that your inner breath is deep, but the sword intent is ethereal and difficult to grasp. It cannot be explained in words, it can only be comprehended by oneself.

An unwritten rule in the cultivation world is that only a sword cultivator who has comprehended the sword intent can be regarded as a true sword cultivator. Even if you can destroy the heavens and the earth with a divine weapon, without sword intent, you will never be recognized!

Sword intent is the true essence of a sword cultivator.

At this moment, Xiao Zibai exuded a sharp momentum, as if he was pressing like a sword out of the sheath, his usually warm face like jade was now very cold, and the look in his eyes was as clean as snow and cold as ice.

Since the age of eight, Xiao Zi's hard work in the cold pool day after day has finally presented in front of everyone's eyes.

The snow-white sword intent is as cold as a match, and a sword swings out, and the soul is seized!

The disciple of Qingyun Sect raised his eyes and saw a dazzling white light, which was extremely clear and cold, with a chill to the bone.

Obviously he was in the hot desert, and in an instant, he only felt that he was in the ice and snow, and the blood in his whole body seemed to be frozen by the sword forest. His scalp was fried, the hairs on the back of his neck stood upside down, but his hands and feet stiffened for a moment before he finally remembered to resist, but at this moment it was already too late, and at the moment when he raised his hand to turn out the magic weapon, the Xue Liang sword intent with the chill of the muscles and bones had gently and skillfully turned around his cheek, cutting off a small strand of hair.

The strand of hair froze into ice the moment it was cut off, and fell heavily to the ground, smashing into the sun-scorched yellow sand.

Xiao Zibai flicked his fingers, and Ling Yan's sword intent dissipated into nothing in the blink of an eye, but with the dissipation of that sword intent, a cold gust of wind blew through the bodies of everyone present, and some people shivered excitedly, but when they looked down, they saw a thin layer of ice on the yellow sand under their feet.

With Xiao Zibai and the Qingyunmen disciple as the center of the circle, the yellow sand in a radius of nine feet was all frozen, forming an almost perfect circle, and the small strand of frozen hair fell right in the middle of the entire circle. Xiao Zibai put his sword back into its sheath, and said to the Qingyunmen disciple lightly: "Accept." ”

The Qingyunmen disciple was holding a magic weapon in his hand that he hadn't had time to use at all, and his whole face was completely pale, and he didn't know whether he was angry or frightened. Xiao Zibai didn't care about him, he directly raised his hand and saluted him, and then glanced at everyone, and saw Elder Wu nodding slightly to himself, so he turned around and prepared to return to the same door, but as soon as he turned around, there was a sharp whistling wind behind his ears-

The Qingyunmen disciple activated the magic weapon in his hand when Xiao Zibai turned around, and his eyes were red and he slammed into Xiao Zibai's vest!

Tang Lin's heartbeat almost stopped.

The group with all kinds of wound medicine had already flown near the crowd, but because he didn't want to be discovered, he was quietly hiding in the outer circle, and because of this, the moment he found out that Xiao Zibai was attacked by the disciples of Qingyunmen, he didn't have time to rush over to protect him.

However, he still flew over regardless of it, and although Tang Lin knew that he couldn't catch up, he still flew towards Xiao Zibai with all his strength and without hesitation. He had already struggled to beat his wings to the fastest speed in his life, but it only took a moment for the magic weapon to hit Xiao Zibai......

At the moment when Tuanzi's figure burst out like an arrow from a string, the momentum around Xiao Zibai's body suddenly condensed. He didn't look behind him, he directly pointed his toes and shot a few feet diagonally forward, and at the same time pointed his finger into a sword and turned around and slashed lightly.

The sword intent is fierce.

The white sword light broke through the air, colliding fiercely with the golden glittering copper cymbals thrown by the Qingyun Sect disciples. However, there was no piercing explosion, no expected violent collision, Xiao Zibai's sword light turned into a mist-like filament at the moment when the cymbals met, and the seemingly gentle but in fact fiercely bound the cymbals tightly, and then staggered and strangled each other.

Ding Lingdang made a few crisp sounds, and the copper cymbals were strangled into several pieces by the filament-like sword light, and the divine light fell on the round ice cap without any energy, just smashing the frozen half of the hair.

The Qingyunmen disciple spit out a mouthful of blood, he staggered, fell to his knees on the ground, wiped a handful of blood from his lips with the back of his hand, and glared at Xiao Zibai fiercely with his red eyes, seeing that Xiao Zibai's face was calm, and he stood there quietly as if nothing had happened, and finally said reluctantly: "I am defeated." ”

Xiao Zibai hugged his sword and saluted him again, but this time, he didn't say the word "concede" again.

Tuanzi had already stopped castration at the moment when Xiao Zibai turned around and slashed his sword, and at this time, he was slightly overwhelmed suspended in the air flapping his wings, Xiao Zibai saw him as soon as he raised his eyes, and suddenly showed a shallow smile.

He stretched out his arms towards the group, Tang Lin hesitated for half a second, but still threw himself into Xiao Zibai's arms without hesitation.

As soon as he threw himself into Xiao Zibai's arms, Xiao Zibai buried his face in his feathers, and coughed very softly, Tang Lin's heart tightened, Ben! I can sense that something is wrong. But after Xiao Zibai coughed that sound, he quickly raised his face again, and cast an inquiring look at Elder Wu, and after Elder Wu signaled that he could leave, Xiao Zibai turned around and walked out with the ball in his arms.

Those Ling Shan disciples who didn't look down on him a while ago quietly gave him a way.

Elder Wu peeked at Xiao Zibai's expression, but saw that he was still that calm appearance, and couldn't help but think: Not arrogant or discouraged, behave consistently, this kind of calm bearing...... Even if he delayed his cultivation for a while because of his comprehension of the sword intent, his mental nature, qualifications, and comprehension were all there, and this son would definitely become a great weapon in the future!

The previous respect for Xiao Zibai, ridicule and ridicule seemed to disappear suddenly, and these arrogant Lingshan disciples finally looked at Xiao Zibai with more respect in their eyes. Xiao Zibai's expression didn't move, as if he didn't care at all, he just walked forward step by step, only Tang Lin, who was being held by him, knew that Xiao Zibai's arm was trembling slightly at the moment.

Tang Lin's heart was so anxious that he was about to burst into flames, but he couldn't spoil Xiao Zibai's expression at the moment, so he could only lie on his chest anxiously, and secretly began to turn over the pile of medicine he had brought, and then desperately remembered that most of the things he brought were for the treatment of external injuries.

How good is that? In case Xiao Zibai hurts the internal organs and meridians, you can't let him shed a bottle of tears and give Xiao Zibai a bottle of tears to drink directly, right?

In the floating shuttle of the Royal Beast Sect, Tang Lin hesitated for a moment, but he still turned into a big bird directly, flapped his wings and flew directly towards the forest where Er Huang was, leaving the little demon all over the ground looking at his back and exclaiming:

"It's a bird! The prototype of the adult is really a bird! ”

"The prototype of an adult is beautiful, too...... Look good at ......."

Hearing all kinds of words, the group in Xiao Zibai's arms couldn't help but tremble.

Xiao Zibai, who usually cared about him very much, didn't notice Tuanzi's trembling at the moment, he quickened his pace, quickly rushed through the unmanned corridor, slammed the door into his room, and then closed the door with force, leaning on the door and collapsing down all of a sudden.

As soon as he fell like this, Tang Lin was horrified to find that Xiao Zibai's face had completely turned pale, and even the spiritual power around him was □□ for a moment. A few thin pieces of ice sounded continuously, deeply □□ the doors and ground around Xiao Zibai, and Xiao Zibai's eyelashes even began to condense a layer of fine frost flowers.

Tang Lin didn't hesitate to throw out the storage bag he was holding and began to eagerly rummage through the medicines that might be useful.

Xiao Zibai coughed again, coughing up some thin blood, he raised his eyes and saw Tang Lin struggling to rummage through a pile of bottles and cans, and couldn't help but smile very lightly: "It's okay, Tuanzi, I just got a little stronger just now." ”

As he spoke, his breath was a little chaotic. Xiao Zibai frowned, closed his mouth and raised his hand to pinch out a spell, calming down the violent spiritual power around him a little, and the frost flowers on his eyelashes also faded. He breathed slowly for a while, and after adjusting his internal breath to the point that there was nothing unusual, he continued to speak: "Don't worry, I just crossed the level and forcibly used the sword intent, just one more time, and there will be no consequences of being too strict." ”

Tang Lin flapped his wings angrily, stared at him with horizontal eyebrows, and clicked a few times on the tip of Xiao Zibai's nose with his beak.

Xiao Zibai knew that he was at a loss, so he lowered his head and muttered: "Originally, I calculated it, and it was enough to use a sword intent, but who knew that he would suddenly attack ...... later"

Tang Lin's sharp claw tips scratched fiercely less than half an inch in front of him, and Xiao Zibai stopped talking.

He coughed lightly again, looking at the bottles and cans that Tuanzi threw on his lap one after another, and after eating several kinds under Tang Lin's gaze, Xiao Zibai finally couldn't help but say again: "I really don't have much of a problem, really, I don't have to take so many medicines......"

Before he could finish speaking, he heard a soft knock on the door behind him.

The knock on the door was very polite, restrained three tuk-tuks, and after a pause, it was possible to hear no response in the room, and then three more in a row.

Tuanzi motioned to Xiao Zibai to open the door with his eyes.

Who will suddenly come to him now? Xiao Zibai thought about it for a long time and couldn't imagine that anyone was so close to him, but under the pressure of Tuanzi's eyes, he still stood up reluctantly, and rubbed the door open a small crack. He stretched out his face half to the side to take a look, but found that Tang Lin was standing outside the door with an expressionless face.

At that moment, Xiao Zibai's sweat almost came down.

"Can you let me in?" Tang Lin asked seemingly calmly, but Xiao Zibai felt that under Tang Lin's calm surface was a raging rage. He couldn't figure out where he had made Tang Lin angry, but under the forced gaze of the former Tang Lin and the rear group, Xiao Zibai still silently opened the door completely: "Please come in." ”

After finishing speaking, Xiao Zibai remembered that the dumplings were carrying a bunch of medicine in the room! I don't know where the dumplings got the medicine? Did you steal Tang Lin's? Did you do something wrong...... He was a little worried that Tuanzi would be taught a lesson by Tang Lin because of "stealing medicine", but it was not good to stop Tang Lin from the door after the words were spoken, Xiao Zibai could only move to the pile of medicine quietly, trying to cover up the "incriminating evidence" with his body, and at the same time constantly signaling Tuanzi to run quickly with his eyes.

Tang Lin's stomach was full of anger and was dispelled by Xiao Zibai's move.

He stretched out his hand and handed a delicate small porcelain vase to Xiao Zibai:

"Here you go."

Tang Lin said softly, seeing that Xiao Zibai hesitated to take it, and began to look at the bottle in confusion, he then added: "Produced by the Elder of the Imperial Beast Sect Medicine Peak, it is the most suitable for healing the internal organs and treating the meridians, usually half a small injury is enough, and you can focus on eating one a little, what are you ......" Tang Lin looked at Xiao Zibai's still pale face, and chuckled inexplicably: "...... You'd better eat two. ”

Xiao Zibai: "......"

He shook the porcelain bottle containing the pill in distress, suddenly remembered something, and asked Tang Lin with a puzzled expression: "How do you know that I am injured?" ”

"Because I've been hiding from the Imperial Beast Sect to watch you" was undoubtedly a safer answer, but Tang Lin chose to answer: "What Tuanzi knows, I know." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Zibai's expression was even more confused, Tang Lin originally wanted to tell the truth directly, but he was a little hesitant when he saw him like this, and finally decided to slowly knock on the side. He half-lowered his eyes, the ball flew lightly to his shoulder and stood up, Tang Lin pointed to the porcelain vases that Xiao Zibai tried to hide but couldn't hide at all, and said softly: "These are what I gave you." ”

He thought that when he said this, Xiao Zibai would probably be able to associate something, Tang Lin couldn't have imagined that Xiao Zibai was indeed associative at this moment, but what he was thinking was: "Tang Lin gave me something again!" ”

"Is he really special to me?"

"He knows that I'm injured, doesn't it mean that he saw the sword I just saw!"

"What should I do, I'm so nervous, do you want to confess."

"It doesn't seem like there's no chance at all......

Nervous and excited, happy and hesitant, Xiao Zibai's face changed, but what he was thinking about was completely different from what Tang Lin thought.

Tang Lin was stunned for a long time when he saw him holding the bottle, and thought that he couldn't accept the facts, so he said gloomily: "If you can't accept it, I'll ...... I can understand that, after all...... After all, I'm an outlier......"

Xiao Zibai's brain exploded with a "bang".

He didn't hesitate to pull Tang Lin's sleeve, and resolutely said loudly to Tang Lin: "Of course I can accept it!" Why can't I accept it? I like you too! Tang Lin, you are not an anomaly, if you are an anomaly, then there is no doubt that I am too! Because I like you too, and I'm a dead sleeve too! Let's be in this together, no matter what other people say! ”

Tang Lin: "...... What did you say?! ”

"You...... You say you like me?? Tang Lin asked in a daze, he thought sluggishly on his temples for a while, shook his head slowly, and said, "You may have misunderstood my words, I didn't mean to confess to you...... Xiao Zibai, I'm older than you, and although it may not look like it, I'm indeed older than you, nearly twenty years older. I'm not saying I hate you and don't like you...... Just, just not that like? ”

He hesitantly glanced at Xiao Zibai, who was stunned, and said cautiously: "I have actually always regarded you as a nephew......

Hehe.

The person you like treats yourself like a child.

Xiao Zibai's whole person was not very good, he clenched his fists, and still said without giving up: "You are only twenty years older than me!" ”

"Isn't twenty years older enough?" Tang Lin subconsciously asked, his thinking at the moment still belongs to human beings, twenty years old is already two generations apart, but Xiao Zibai shook his head and said: "Of course it's not enough, don't talk about the far, the closest ones are like the pair of Taoist couples in Qixia Sect, the difference is more than five hundred years old." There are also Tianyue Ji and Tianxing Ji of Xuanyin Zhai, they are more than a thousand years apart, Tianyue Ji is still the de facto master of Tianxing Ji, they are apprentices on behalf of the teacher......"

Xiao Zibai racked his brains and cited a large number of examples of Taoist couples with a large age gap. His rebuttal was extremely powerful, in the cultivation world, the gap between the twenties was indeed not very inconspicuous, and even if the two of them went out now, everyone would think that Xiao Zibai and Tang Lin were people of the same generation, both "rising stars", "rising stars" with great potential.

After he talked for a long time, he finally spoke dryly, and stopped to look at Tang Lin expectantly, but Tang Lin still shook his head and said: "Xiao Zibai, I just told you that I am more than twenty years older than you, and I know everything that Tuanzi knows." ”

"So, I grew up watching you."

"What you said is very reasonable, and I won't refute it, but I really only regard you as a junior, and I have no intention of spending my life with you as a Taoist couple." Tang Lin said word by word, Xiao Zibai's face was so pale that it couldn't be paler, and it looked even more bloodless than when he was injured before. Tang Lin was slightly shaken when he saw it, but thinking that he was Xiao Zibai's "elder", he couldn't talk about the grass on the edge of the nest, so he continued with a hard heart: "So, I'm sorry, I still have to refuse you." ”

Xiao Zibai was silent for a moment, and asked him in a somewhat hoarse voice: "...... Are you really that resistant to me? ”

"I just think of you as my junior...... Like the same kid I saw when I first met you. Tang Lin said lightly.

Xiao Zibai was silent for a long time, and laughed softly: "Children will also grow up." ”

Tang Lin sighed slightly, did not answer again, Xiao Zibai did not speak, and the room fell into a deathly silence for a while.

It seemed that 10 million years had passed, and Xiao Zibai said to Tang Lin in a dumb voice: "If one day, you find that I have actually grown up, but in fact, the gap of twenty years is not so important, can you give me a chance?" At least give me a chance to like you seriously. ”

In fact, Tang Lin wanted to refuse, but after he saw Xiao Zibai's expression at the moment, he couldn't say anything if he refused.

Anyway, it's just an opportunity, so why promise him? Xiao Zibai is only because he has seen few people now, so he unconsciously likes himself, doesn't he say that his first love is beautiful but fragile? Now that he has agreed for the time being, after it really arrives, it is still unknown whether Xiao Zibai will continue to like him.

Tang Lin thought so, so he nodded hesitantly.

Xiao Zibai looked at him with red circles in his eyes, seeing that Tang Lin was uncomfortable all over his body, he wanted to leave, and remembered that Xiao Zibai was injured, so he raised his hand to let the ball fly to Xiao Zibai's shoulder.

Hoping in his heart that Xiao Zibai would not find out at this moment, Tang Lin almost left as if he had fled. He hurried back into the shuttle, locked himself in the room, and looked up at the ceiling blankly, wondering if he had done something wrong. After all, in the cultivation realm, twenty years old is not a gap at all, maybe if you tell others about this experience, others will still think that it is a bamboo horse?

He smiled wryly and retracted his prototype and laid himself wilted on the couch.

It was raining at this time in the small cave, and the bamboo leaves were beaten by the dredging rain, and Tang Lin was silent, looking up at the roof blankly. In the Lingshan Sword Sect, Xiao Zibai was holding the dumplings tightly, and his tears wet the beautiful feathers of the dumplings.

Tang Lin didn't know how to comfort Xiao Zibai, he wanted to rub his face, and was worried that Xiao Zibai would later think that "Tuanzi" and "Tang Lin" were the same person, so he had more ideas, so he could only stiffen up there and let Xiao Zibai cry.

…… Tang Lin had never seen Xiao Zibai cry, never, even when he woke Xiao Zibai up from the ice, Xiao Zibai only choked and red eyes, and now ...... But he cried like this.

However, even though he was crying like this, Xiao Zibai never said anything to Tuanzi, did not say anything about his heart, did not talk about any problems with him, only wiped his face after crying, and said to Tuanzi in a low voice: "Thank you." ”

He had never thanked Dango before.

Tang Lin was weak and guilty, and he didn't dare to go out for the next few days, for fear of meeting Xiao Zibai, but after Tianyanzong, Jinwu Valley, Wuxiang'an, Bai Yujing and other sects arrived one by one, the opening day of the Biling Secret Realm inevitably came. Tang Lin, as a disciple of the Royal Beast Sect who was about to go to the secret realm, had to face Xiao Zibai, Tang Lin didn't even dare to look at Xiao Zibai's body, but Xiao Zibai was extremely calm, as if the previous confession incident had not happened at all.

He looked at Tang as if he was looking at some stranger.

Tang Lin was inexplicably a little sad.

He stood in front of a group of little demons, and secretly looked at Xiao Zibai's figure out of the corner of his eye, only to look for a while, but saw Xiao Zibai directly take a half step back and hide himself directly in the crowd.

…… Now from Tang Lin's point of view, he can no longer be seen secretly.

Xiao Zibai pulled out half of his sword, looked at Tang Lin's expression through the reflection, and saw the other party's gloom for a moment, he quietly bent his eyes, and then quickly converged, as if inadvertently walked to the side again.

Tang Lin was able to see Xiao Zibai again, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to look at him secretly.

Xiao Zibai's expression was still as calm and indifferent as before.
