There are still ten days left before the four halls will try, and there is still ten days left for the last competition. The disciples of all palaces were nervously making some preparations, and it was rare for the Ming Dynasty to be free, and they took the little girl to catch fish. After tossing for a day, time always goes so fast, and in a blink of an eye, it is dusk, and Lord Shenlu has returned to the palace.

"By the way, Brother Jiangming, my mother asked me to tell you in the morning, and my father will let you go to a library in the evening."

"Good!" Jiang Ming said, took out a blue brocade bag from Qiankun's sleeve, and put it in front of the little girl's eyes. "Here's for you!"

"What is this?" The little girl rarely sees Jiang Ming giving herself a gift on an ordinary day, and she is inevitably a little surprised. When she took the bag, she felt heavy, and she guessed something.

It is a white beaded flower. The golden silk thread inlays white pearls and agate in the center of the tulle as thin as the wings of a cicada, like a beautiful camellia in the mountains.

"Did you buy it for me?"

Jiang Ming looked at the little girl's eyebrows bent into a slit, and there was a ripple in his heart. He nodded slightly, he knew more than Bai Qixia, but what he wanted to remember in his heart was that since she was six years old, she was the only one.

Ten years ago, the Mid-Autumn Festival, Tongyao Mountain back mountain.

Qixia is as big as Jiangming, but it is more naughty than Jiangming. There is no bit of a lady's showy, gentle and elegant character. Climbing up and down every day, I can't wait to demolish the entire Tongyao Mountain. This day is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the dome is extremely lively everywhere, but Mrs. Bai and a group of servants are about to turn over all the palaces, and they are stunned that they have not found the shadow of the little girl.

In a thorny jungle in the back mountain, "Qixia, don't be allowed to go any further, the master said, there, you can't go." ”

"Brother Jiangming, why are you so timid!" As she spoke, the girl grimaced at Jiang Ming and climbed into the thorny forest.

At that time, Jiang Ming was only a half-grown child, he stood in front of a cluster of thorns, stunned for a moment, looked at the little girl who had climbed in, frowned, and got in. In fact, there was a hidden hole in that thorn bush, and Bai Qixia wanted to climb in to find the "baby" that he secretly hid last time to give it to Jiang Ming.

However, Jiang Ming did not know. When he burrowed into the narrow hole surrounded by thorns, the spikes around him would cut through his skin if he was not careful. He looked at the pieces of clothes hanging on the spikes in front of him, which was the fabric on Qixia's body, "Qixia! Summer!" He shouted twice, but no one answered him.

Jiang Ming was worried that something had happened to Qixia, so he became more and more anxious, and began to quickly climb towards the deeper thorns. When he was a child, Jiang Ming's cultivation speed was much slower than that of disciples of the same age, and at the age of six, he had no way to condense the power of his soul.

Because he was worried about his sister, he was more and more afraid, and the spikes cut through the clothes on his body, cutting holes in the flesh, and blood kept dripping. As if he couldn't feel it, he just wanted to find his sister quickly

On the other side, Qixia had already crawled out of the other hole, still holding the turtle he had hidden last time. Standing on the side, looking around, "Hey, where did Brother Jiang Ming go?" ”

"Qixia, why did you get here?" Madame Bai looked at the dirty body and sighed helplessly.

Qi Xia ran to Mrs. Bai with a smile, and the soft little milk voice in her mouth shouted: "Mother, mother." Look, this is the little tortoise turtle I hid last time. ”

Madame Bai squatted down and helped her wipe the dust from her face with the soft handkerchief in her hand. "Why did you come to the back mountain alone?"

"Am I not alone? I'm here with Brother Jiang Ming. ”

Jiang Ming, Mrs. Bai has not seen Jiang Ming all the way until now. Nothing will happen to that kid, right?

"Qixia, then A-Niang asked you, where did Brother Jiang Ming go."

Qi Xia touched his head, pointed to the thorn bush not far away and said, "Over there, Brother Ming climbed in behind me, and then, and then it was gone." The little girl showed innocent eyes, he really didn't know where Jiang Ming was.

Thorn bush – Bloodthirsty vine. Oops!

Madame White looked at the slightly blood-red bush of thorns, a bloodthirsty thorn that her husband had planted years earlier. After encountering blood, it will continue to tighten, and the child has not yet broken through the bottleneck of soul power condensation, and if his hand is cut by thorns or something, he will inevitably encounter danger.

Madame Bai got up and looked at the thorn bushes that were in a commotion, stretched out her hand and took out a sharp sword made of ice, and slashed it. At this time, a ragged and bloodstained child rolled out of the dense forest.

"Jiang Ming!"

"Senior sister, sister Qixia, are you okay?" These were the last words of Jiang Ming before he fell into a coma.

Mrs. Bai looked at the scarred little boy in front of her, and for the sake of Qixia, she made herself look like this, touched his head in distress, and hugged him.

On the other side, Qixia didn't know what was going on, thinking that Jiang Ming was just asleep, and followed behind Mrs. Bai, tugging at his skirt, bouncing and walking, and said in his mouth: "Brother Jiang Ming, why did you sleep alone, and you still have to be hugged by your mother, and you are ashamed!" ”

"Qixia, do you want to protect Brother Jiangming?" He's doing this for you, silly boy.

Ten years have passed since that incident in a blink of an eye, from innocence to cardamom years, they watched each other grow up little by little, and became the beautiful young man in front of them.

"Brother Jiangming, Brother Jiangming!" Qixia shook his hand in front of Jiang Ming's eyes, "What do you want?" ”

"No, nothing!" Jiang Ming rarely lies, especially in front of Qixia. "I'll go find the master first, and you should go back early."

Looking at the back of Jiang Ming leaving, Qi Xia slowly turned his head and looked at the reflection in the water. Girls understand some things much earlier than boys. She said to herself: "You have protected me for so many years, and in the future, I will protect you too." ”

Tongyao Mountain, Zihua Palace, Begonia Garden.

Jiang Ming lightly slammed the door, and then pushed the wooden door open.

"It's coming!"

Jiang Ming looked at the master who was dressed in snow white and had a cloud pattern pressing the edge of the collapse with his eyes closed. The ambergris incense not far away was emitting green smoke from the incense burner, hazy the appearance of the master, and from a distance, it did have the appearance of an immortal.

"Hmm!"

"Sit down. You want to know why Lord Divine Law knows about you, right? ”

Jiang Ming was stunned for a moment, and slowly sat down on the chair. After all, he couldn't hide it from the master, and the fleeting hesitation that day was also blocked by the master: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from the master." ”

Yin Lingzi slowly opened his eyes, looked at Jiang Ming's eyes, and asked a question solemnly for a long time: "Do you have a happy girl?" ”

Why did the master ask me this at this time? It will be clear and incomprehensible.

"Do you only want to be a teacher?"

Jiang Ming looked at the master suspiciously, and after being entangled for a long time, he finally nodded.

Yin Lingzi smiled kindly, touched his beard, as if thinking of something, and smiled even more happily. Pick up the teacup on the table and take a sip.

Jiang Ming was even more confused, why did the master laugh.

"You have also reached the age of talking about marriage, and it is natural that you have a woman who longs for you. As a teacher, I only ask you, no matter what happens in the future, can you always protect Xia Er? When he asked this sentence, Yin Lingzi asked heavily, and his face was full of solemnity.

"Master, Fu." Jiang Ming looked at Yin Lingzi in a daze, then looked down at the shoulder sewn by Qixia on his body, and said for a while: "Since Jiang Ming remembers, except for Qixia, I have never been happy with other women. In the coming day, the mountains and rivers are splendid, and I just want to see the prosperity with her alone. ”

Jiang Ming himself didn't expect that he would say such a paragraph, but after saying it, he felt that something was wrong. The master treats himself as his own and takes good care of him. And he has coveted his little sister for so many years, and he is really a bit of a beast.

"What you say today, don't break your word in the future."

"Yes, master." Jiang Ming got up and kowtowed three times in front of Yin Lingzi before continuing to talk to Yin Lingzi.

"By the way, the reason why Lord Shenlu knows about you is not long after you were born!"
