Taken to the Shangqing Realm by the little spirit beast, Niu Chen and I were intoxicated by Sanskrit sounds, and before we knew it, the puja was over.

I saw that the Xuanling Doumu Yuanjun in the hall looked at the lotus leaf where the two of us were hiding, and with a wave of his hand, a drop of fairy dew in the bottle happened to fall between my eyebrows. Then he said, "There is a reason for this, and there is a reason for this life; There is no reason for this, and there is no reason for this, and there is no reason for this. Go ahead. ”

Youyou woke up at night, in the wooden pavilion by the lotus pond in the back mountain, I pillowed Niu Chen's legs, and he was sitting on the wooden corridor with his eyes closed.

Seeing me wake up, he opened his eyes and asked, "Ling'er, how are you feeling?" ”

I replied, "I'm fine, how are you?" It didn't hurt, did it? ”

He asked him again, "Didn't the second brother come back with you?"

"Your second brother, he ......", paused and said, "He's with Uncle Ning."

Niu Chen seemed to be very lonely, just staring at the pond, he didn't want to say a word about the second brother.

In this case, I don't want to ask in detail, I think it must be what Ah Huan said after coming back from the mountain with them a few days ago, for a hairpin, the second brother and Niu Chen had a dispute, and it turned out to be true.

"Do you want me to help you persuade my second brother?"

Although I have always been reluctant to see them together, but no matter what, they have been the people I care about the most for so many years, and I still hope that they can be well.

"No need." He sighed back to me.

He and I stood in a corner of the wooden pavilion, and I didn't know how to comfort him, so I had to accompany him silently, looking at the moon shadow reflected in the pool.

"Now that we're all grown up......"

He opened his mouth as if he were speaking to me, as if to himself.

With a long breath, he said: "When I grew up, I realized that I had an unshirkable responsibility, the cause of my parents' death has not yet been clarified, and Chi Xianjiao is still missing. I am the only heir in the Nakshatra Pavilion, the only son of my parents.

Back then, my aunt's spiritual power almost collapsed, and she tried her best to send me to Luoxiao Mountain, if it continues to be so ridiculous, how can she be worthy of the spirit of her parents in the sky, and worthy of her aunt who is alone and struggling to support the Xingzhu Sea Pavilion!

And back then, although my aunt was treated by her ancestors, she said in a letter a few days ago that in recent years, old diseases have often recurred, and her health has been much worse than before.

Besides, people's words are terrifying, one day, I still have to go back to revive the Star Sea Pavilion.

can't give your second brother the freedom he wants. Now, with Uncle Xiao Ning by his side, maybe it would be more suitable for him. "Since he wants to speak, I will be a good listener quietly.

When he said these words, I didn't know how to persuade him.

I didn't know how to answer his words, but after he said this, he also raised his head to look at the starry sky from afar, and didn't continue to speak.

After a long time, he said again: "Ling'er, it's late at night, I'll send you back."

In the past, the second brother came back from going down the mountain to get rid of the trouble, and he always told him what Niu Chen bought him this time, how heroic Niu Chen was, and what demons they surrendered together, and I really haven't heard him mention it again recently.

On the contrary, when I returned to the mountain the day before yesterday, he gave me a brush with a view, which was also inlaid with green stones.

When he threw it to me, he mentioned it in passing, saying that this pen was given to him by Uncle Xiaoshi, so he brought me this one more casually.

Niu Chen is also as he said that day, every day, except for the ancestor who has something to assign to go down the mountain, most of the time, he is in the bamboo forest in the back mountain, meditating and practicing exercises, or practicing swords or playing the flute, although he does not use spiritual power, nor is he driven by the Chi Immortal Formula, but the tune can also show his loneliness and loneliness.

He didn't mention the second brother, and I didn't ask.

Although my heart still hurts when I look at him who is becoming more and more lonely between my eyebrows, except for preparing a pot of tea in the pavilion and drinking it when he comes. I can only silently stroke the piano and accompany him, there is no other way to make him happy.

Perhaps, he needs more time to adjust his mentality.

The eldest brother and Sister Xuefei have packed up and are ready to go to Xikonoha.

The two of them have already reached adulthood, and this is also before they get married, and they officially visit the elders of the Konoha clan.

Ji Yue, who hasn't gone back to save her relatives for a long time, also walked with them this time.

Because the West Wood Leaves are hidden in the depths of the desert, there is a perennial drought and little rain, and there is a lack of medicine in the tribe, Ji Yue, who has been practicing medicine since childhood, has gone down the mountain to buy a large number of medicinal materials one after another, ready to distribute them to the clansmen who understand medical skills.

They carried a lot of gifts and medicinal herbs, and it was not convenient for Edgeworth to walk.

Before the retreat, the ancestor had specially checked our schoolwork, and also approved the eldest brother's proposal to let Ah Huan accompany him. A few of them were not in a hurry to arrive, and they accompanied them on horseback and in an ambulance.

Since the retreat of the master, my heartless second brother has finally realized his childhood dream, and most of the time he accompanies Ning Yi's little uncle to enjoy the world, and he can be regarded as happy.

Occasionally, when I went back to the mountain a few times and met Niu Chen, I was no longer as close as before, just say hello and go my own way.

On this day, after dinner, I was playing the piano in the water pavilion, and when I saw the sound of my uncle's ancestor, I hurriedly summoned Niu Chen, who was practicing in the back mountain, back to him, as if there was something tricky to do.

When I put away the piano and walked over, I only heard Niu Chen say lightly: "You don't need to summon them back, I'll go by myself tomorrow!" ”

Seeing Niu Chen's solemn face and hurriedly leaving his uncle's study, there was always an ominous premonition in his heart.

Under the threat of me grinding hard and soaking to pull out my beard, my uncle finally told me:

Yesterday, two hundred miles northwest of Luoxiao Mountain, Xiaoxianmen, who was in charge of guarding Xiping County, sent someone to bring a message, saying that in their Xiping County, by a lake called Liubo Lake, there have been frequent strange incidents of living people being burned to death recently.

The local officials couldn't find out what to do, and suspected that there were demons who practiced magic and cast spells by the lake.

The ancestor is in retreat, and the little uncle and the second brother went to Dongshui County to track the whereabouts of a black bear spirit and have not yet returned.

Everyone is everywhere under the mountain, so Uncle Shi had to let Niu Chen alone, get up early tomorrow morning, and go down the mountain to Xiping County to investigate.

After a night of tossing and turning, I secretly made up my mind that I must follow Niu Chen down the mountain tomorrow to help him.

On the second day, I got up early, hurriedly had a little breakfast, put everything I should have with me into the treasure bag, and went out of the room to find Niu Chen.

He was no longer in his room, so I ran to my uncle's study, shook up my uncle and grandfather, who was dozing off at the desk, and asked him urgently: "Uncle and grandpa, oops! Don't you sleep, where is Niu Chen? What about Brother Chen? ”

Uncle Shi raised his head and replied to me with sleepy eyes: "He is gone." ”

"You, you, what are you going to do here? Don't go down the mountain without the permission of your brother! "When Uncle Shi saw me packing up my things, he suddenly came back to his senses and said sharply.

Before my uncle finished speaking, I had already flown down the steps. It was expected that Uncle Shi was reluctant to use the immobilization spell on me, and he didn't wave his hand back at the old man.

"I'll go find Niu Chen, uncle and grandfather, take care."

Stretched out his hand and patted the Baibao Qiankun bag on his waist, carrying a leaf of Biling Sword, I also came on a trip to go.

Coming to the Qianyin Peak of Luoxiao Mountain, it has been nearly ten years, and this is the first time I have gone down the mountain alone.

I only heard my uncle and grandfather say that Xiping County is 200 miles northwest of Luoxiao Mountain, where we live. I thought that I would go to Xiping County first, and then go to the edge of Liubo Lake to find Niu Chen.

In the blink of an eye, Edgeworth walked to a hill shaped like an eagle's beak and stopped, a clear and clear lake came into view, the feng shui is excellent, no matter how you look at this place, it doesn't look like a place where demons are hidden and demons are subdued.

I was looking for a passer-by to inquire if this place was Liubo Lake, when Niu Chen's voice came from my ear: "Ling'er, why are you here too?"

"I, I ......" is not easy to say directly, but secretly followed him and slipped down the mountain.

"Brother Chen, even if you promise me to go up to Biluo for nine days and go down to the Yellow Spring of Lichuan, you will also protect me, so ...... Today, I may be one of you, together to eliminate the demons and defend the way, and accompany the world, how about it? ”

Niu Chen was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at me, and said, "Just don't mess with me."

He also said: "Ling'er, since you have come, it is good to follow me, but no matter what happens, you only have to take care of yourself, and I will handle the rest." ”
