The uneasiness in Lan Junyao's heart expanded little by little, and she opened the envelope tremblingly, and saw two blood-colored handprints on the edge of the letter. She forced herself to composure herself, read the letter word by word, and sat down on the ground with her ass, the letter in her hand falling with it.

Frost Xiujing, who came in closely, hurriedly dragged her up from the ground, and then picked up the secret letter on the ground, only glanced at it a few times, and suddenly showed an expression of surprise like her.

This letter was sent by Lin Xuan's shopkeeper, and the letter said that the old man of Nanshan was on the verge of dying, and hoped that the two young masters would come to see him for the last time, and five days had passed since the calculation of time.

Tears instantly filled her eyes, Lan Junyao couldn't believe what kind of thing the master had encountered, and how she got to where she is today. She didn't believe that this must not be true, the master had high martial arts, superb medical skills, and was even proficient in Qimen gossip, so what could trap the master in the world?

Master's voice and smile kept echoing in her mind, the master like an old naughty boy, the master who was particularly serious when teaching her martial arts, she refused to call her master but always by her wayward master, Lan Junyao suddenly bounced up from the stool, grabbed the letter and was about to rush out, but fortunately, Shuang Xiujing's eyes were quick and stopped her.

"Yaoyao, calm down. Frost Xiujing held her tightly in his arms, and even if the contents of the letter were true, they had to prepare roughly.

"Wait here for a moment, I'll have two fast horses ready, and we'll set off at once." Frost Xiujing pondered for a moment and said, "Qingyue's memory has not been restored, so I want to leave Yun Chuan Yunshu and them to take care of it here." ”

Lan Junyao's heart was filled with gratitude, if she caused anything wrong with Brother Qingyue due to her own negligence, she would never forgive herself in her life. Fortunately, he is by his side, and it seems that when he is the saddest, he is also a worry-free brother by his side.

Lan Junyao didn't tell Lan Yunjuan about this, she was afraid of causing any panic. She asked Wu Yinyue to guard against the Great Elder from attacking the people here during her absence, although this request was a bit excessive, but looking at her reddened eyes, Wu Yinyue still complied.

Half an hour later, the two horses in the town were bought by them, Lan Junyao carried a simple package, and jumped away with Shuang Xiujing, the whip was whipped on the horse, the horse was in pain, spread its hooves and ran forward, but Lan Junyao felt that it was still not fast enough, she was afraid that there was not enough time, and she would not have time to see the master for the last time.

It was as if an invisible net was opening up towards them, every step they took was in the enemy's calculations, and the horseback was bumpy and bumpy, it was precisely because of this that there was a point in Lan Junyao's mind that instantly became transparent, Rao was so, she had to continue, even if she knew that what was waiting for her in front of her might be an abyss.

In the evening, the horses on their bodies were finally exhausted, and they were panting for breath, and under the persuasion of Shuang Xiujing, the two decided to rest in place for an hour.

In the woods next to the official road, the two sat facing each other, but the atmosphere was silent, and their faces were not relaxed. In the process of their growth, the old man of Nanshan played the role of teacher, friend and father, without the old man of Nanshan, there would be no today, because they are all thinking hard about what kind of thing will make him suffer such serious harm.

"What message did Master (Father-in-law) leave with you before?" both of them spoke at the same time, and after asking, they both became silent again, it turned out that the old man of Nanshan did not even tell the two of them about this, and the situation was really not optimistic.

If you want to solve the doubts in your heart, the only way to see the master is to see the master first, thinking of this, Lan Junyao can't rest for a moment, estimating the hour, and nearly an hour has passed, she said to go on the road, and Shuang Xiujing readily agreed.

By the time I arrived at the Western Continent Empire, three days had passed. The two of them went straight to the place that Shopkeeper Lin said, just as Shopkeeper Lin was about to go out, and when he saw the two of them, he hurriedly welcomed them into the house.

Not wanting to appear in front of the master with this image, they hurriedly washed up, changed into clean clothes, and then followed Shopkeeper Lin to meet the old man of Nanshan.

When she saw the old man lying on the bed, Lan Junyao almost didn't recognize him, the original master of the fairy wind and bones seemed to have aged dozens of years overnight, and his face, which was always a crane-haired child, became shriveled and wrinkled, his eyes were closed, and he was lying on the bed like that, breathing weakly, as if he would die at any time.

Shopkeeper Lin couldn't help but feel sad for a while, and secretly wiped his tears behind the two of them, and then said: "Two young masters, the master has been waiting for you for a long time, he sealed the acupoint with a golden needle, and kept his last breath to see the two young masters for the last time." If you want the master to wake up, you only need to pull out the golden needle three inches below the back of his head, and the master will wake up. ”

After the shopkeeper Lin finished explaining what his master had left for him, he went out of the room lightly, and closed the door by the way, and he stayed in the courtyard, with old tears on his face.

Listening to the words of the shopkeeper Lin, the two of them were shocked in their hearts, they didn't expect that the master would come to see them for the last time in this way, they both knew the effect of the golden needle being pulled out, and the two knelt beside the old man's bed in Nanshan for a long time, and they couldn't do it.

Shuang Xiujing slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were already a look of determination, he knelt down beside the old man in Nanshan, carefully held up his head, touched the golden needle behind his head, and pulled it out, the whole action was done in one go, and he still let him do it.

A few breaths passed, and the two stared at the movements of the old man in Nanshan without blinking. His eyes blinked, then struggled to open them, and he smiled heartily at the sight of the two children he had been thinking about day and night.

"Good boy, you have to go your own way. The old man Nanshan's face gradually regained some ruddy color, and his eyes also had a glow, but this reaction made the two of them feel bitter, how they didn't know, this was a return to the light.

The two of them held the hand of the old man of Nanshan one left and one right, and then said with a smile: "Master (father-in-law), don't worry, I will take care of Brother Wuwu (Yaoyao)." ”

"I've always known that you are all kind-hearted children. For these two children raised by himself, how can he not know their temperament, it is precisely because of this that he can't bear to see them suffer in the second half of their lives, and he has tried his best to change his life for them.

The old man of Nanshan clenched Lan Junyao's hand and carefully admonished: "No matter what happens in the future, you must have a good thought in your heart, the suffering will eventually end, and you must keep in mind the words of the master." ”

"Master, don't worry, I will never do anything that hurts heaven and reason. Lan Junyao kept a smile on her face, she wanted to let the master go with peace of mind.

"Xiujing, over the years, I have been raising you as my own biological child, I have a fight with your mother, brother and sister, if I can stop one or two at the beginning, I will not let her end up like that. If you inherit your father's business in the future, do not be like your father. The old man Nanshan said, the smile on the corner of his lips widened slightly, this was the first time he called the name of Frost Xiujing, and then his gaze began to look behind them through the two of them.

"Little junior sister is here to pick me up, you two must be well, I am very happy to see you again. The old man of Nanshan looked at the void, where there was a smiling woman, who was stretching out her hands towards him, and he was like a stunned young man, and his cheeks gradually flushed.

After the old man Nanshan left, the two couldn't bear it anymore, tears slipped down the corners of their eyes, and before they reached the old man of Nanshan, they were caught by Lan Junyao again, and she muttered: "Don't let tears stain Master's clothes." ”

The frost cultivator's eyes on the side were blood-red, he clenched his fists, and the green tendons on his hands burst out, no matter who hurt his father-in-law, he wanted that person to pay for his blood debt.

The two knelt down beside the old man of Nanshan and kowtowed to him respectfully, and then opened the door and called the shopkeeper Lin to handle the affairs behind the master. personally guarding the old master's death, Shopkeeper Lin was also sour in his heart, he wiped a handful of old tears and nodded in response.

The old man of Nanshan had no children and no daughters in his life, Lan Junyao and Shuang Xiujing kept filial piety for him as his children, and according to the customs of ordinary people's funerals, the two of them personally kept filial piety for him for three days before they were ready to be buried.

During this period, the shopkeeper Lin had already notified the former master's subordinates to come to mourn, Lan Junyao and Shuang Xiujing wore sackcloth and filial piety clothes, kneeling in front of the old man in Nanshan until he was buried.

The old man of Nanshan had an explanation before his death, and after his death, his body was burned and his ashes were buried in the back mountain of Moyun Valley, where he was buried and the mother of Shuang Xiujing.

For his last request, Shuang Xiujing naturally had no intention of refutating, and over the years, he had already regarded the old man of Nanshan as his biological father. There is no fate in this life, and I hope they can cultivate the good of Qin and Jin for a hundred years in the next life.

After these things are done, the two of them can be regarded as truly free. Soon, they will return to Moyun Valley with the ashes of the old man of Nanshan, but before that, they have something to figure out.

After sending off a number of guests, Lan Junyao and the two invited the shopkeeper Lin to a side room to talk, knowing that they couldn't hide it, the shopkeeper Lin sat opposite the two in embarrassment, not that he didn't want to say, but the old master had an explanation before his death, and the matter must not be known to the two young masters.

Shopkeeper Lin told the words of the old man of Nanshan to the two of them, where did they know that the two of them were extremely stubborn, trapping themselves in the middle one after the other, and the shopkeeper Lin was also very tight, if he didn't tell the truth, the two young masters would definitely not give up, but just said this matter, and it was against the master's wishes.
