A bad thought flashed in Bai Ling's heart, and she hurriedly set off for Mount Tai, wanting to find out the whereabouts of Master Pu.

If it weren't for the last resort, she wouldn't want to go back to Mount Tai-

Rumors of her being degraded have spread all over the Three Realms, and for the sake of face and dignity, she doesn't want the people of the Guiyuan faction to see what she looks like now, a notorious "god", it is better to disappear into the world forever.

However, it is probably because Bailing was born with a little back, and she is afraid of something. No, as soon as she walked to the foot of Mount Tai, a clear voice stopped her hesitantly, "Master...... Masters? ”

She stopped abruptly.

After the sound of the voice itself, it was familiar, but it had a little more calmness.

For a while, Bai Ling didn't dare to look back.

It wasn't until she felt the man approaching and raised his hand, as if intent on patting her on the shoulder, that she turned away, avoiding the hand, and then moved her gaze to the visitor.

Sure enough, it was Ji Xuan.

She couldn't help pursing her lips, her mood mixed.

I haven't seen it for ten years, and the lively and active teenager has grown into a veritable adult, with a tall figure and an elegant temperament, even the baby fat on his face is gone, only the faintly smiling eyes are still as in his memory, bright without a trace of dust.

And the way he looked at her, the surprise was too clear, completely from the heart, and he couldn't see the slightest disguise.

"It's really you, senior sister!" Ji Xuan said happily, "I recognized your back just now, but I couldn't believe my eyes, and I hesitated for a long time before I dared to stop you." ”

As soon as he spoke, he seemed to change back to the lively and cheerful boy he used to be.

A wry smile appeared on Bai Ling's lips, "It's rare that you still recognize me as a senior sister." ”

Ji Xuan couldn't help but be stunned, "What do you call this?" We haven't seen each other for ten years, why don't you want me as a junior brother? ”

Bai Ling shook her head and said, "That's not what I meant. ”

"I know what you mean." Ji Xuan said bluntly, "I've heard those rumors, but I won't believe them, you are not the kind of cruel and ruthless person, there must be something hidden behind those rumors." ”

He had an inexplicable trust in her, and Bai Ling was a little embarrassed, but he continued, "By the way, senior sister, did you come back this time to see us?" ”

Of course not. She had come to visit Master Pu, and if she found out that he was doing well, she didn't even plan to appear in front of them.

Bai Ling was inexplicably a little ashamed, and said vaguely, "I just came from Hecheng and saw that the courtyard that Ji Zhangshi bought was demolished. ”

Hearing this, Ji Xuan suddenly fell silent, and the smile on his face faded.

After a moment, he let out a long sigh, "I forgot, you don't know yet." ”

Bailing's eyelids jumped, "What do you know?" ”

A trace of sadness appeared in Ji Xuan's eyes, "Master...... Seven years ago, the yard was uninhabited and could not be sold, so the government reclaimed the land. ”

Bai Ling's brain went blank for a while, and she asked tentatively, "Gone...... What is the meaning? Moved? Or have you gone somewhere else? Senrai ...... Did you go to Senrai? I heard that the style there has been very good in recent years, and it is very suitable for living, is he ......"

Ji Xuan couldn't bear to look at her, and interrupted her chatter, "The master has passed away." ”

The simple five words made Bai Ling quiet down instantly, and after a while, she whispered "oh".

"Are you going to see him?" Ji Xuan asked, "It's close to here." ”

Bai Ling nodded gently, "Okay." ”

Along the way, the two of them were very quiet, Ji Xuan took her to the bottom of the cliff of the West Mountain, pointed to the only tomb within the radius and said, "This is it." ”

Bai Ling slowly approached, staring at the words on the tombstone, pursing her lips and saying nothing.

"Before the master passed away, he specially told us that he did not enter the tomb of the sect, and he must be buried here."

Ji Xuan said slowly, knelt down next to her, kowtowed three times to the tombstone, then folded his hands and said, "Master, senior sister came back to see you, this time we came in a hurry, and we didn't bring anything, you won't blame us." ”

got up, and saw Bai Ling's expression tense and silent, he said again, "The master is very concerned about you, especially when he hears those rumors outside, he can't rest assured until he dies." He thinks that you are not deeply involved in the world, but you have to carry the hopes of too many people, and he is afraid that you will not be able to support it...... Go astray. ”

Go astray.

Bai Ling was in a sad mood, and finally asked, "Why are you buried here?" ”

Her expression was calm, but her voice was a little hoarse, and Ji Xuan replied with some reluctance, "He said, this is the place where he held you, you will come back one day, and he is waiting for you here." And ......"

"What else?"

Ji Xuan hesitated for a moment, but still said, "On the seventh day of the master's first day, a heavenly god came, saying that it was your old man, and he did a requiem ceremony on our behalf and sealed the tomb within a radius of ten miles. For so many years, only this place was as calm as ever, and no one or spiritual creature could disturb it. ”

"The deceased?" Bai Ling couldn't help but be stunned.

"That's what he said." Ji Xuan said, "We asked him for his name, but he refused to say it, only asked us to keep it secret, saying that he did all this to alleviate your pain in the future, not to make you grateful to him." ”

Ji Xuan smiled and continued, "But I think I should tell you that if it weren't for him, Taishan would have repaired the palace in the past few years, and people came and went, and this place would have long since ceased to exist." ”

Bailing fell silent again.

"By the way, he also took the master's soul away." Ji Xuan didn't care either, and said to himself, "I said that I want to make sure that he is reincarnated, and he has a good birth, and when you come back in the future, you will be less sentimental." ”

Hearing this, Bai Ling finally couldn't help but have a sour nose, "plopped", and knelt in front of the tombstone.

That night, she had a dream—

Her mother, with a blurred face, played with her on her back, and Master Pu blew her beard and glared at her on the spot to teach her brothers and sisters, and then happily bought her a lot of candy...... Their figures swaggered through the dream, but she couldn't keep any of them.
