The clouds slowly piled up, silently sweeping over the mountaintops.

The rain was pouring down.

Qiuqiu leaned against the window, she pushed open the window several times and looked at the door of the quiet room at the end of the corridor, the door was always closed.

What are Uncle Zeng and Master talking about? She was curious.

That must be a big, big secret.

Qiuqiu sat under the lamp, holding her chin with her hand, and fiddling with the water sword.

The sword light swirled between her fingers, like a curling green smoke.

Qiuqiu was in a trance.

Leaving the Water Sword...... The Water Sword Sect ......

I don't know how long it took, the door finally opened, and Yuxia Zhenren pushed it open and walked out.

She has long sleeves, and her every move looks extremely elegant and moving.

Qiuqiu didn't have time to retract her head, Yuxia Zhenren had already seen her.

Qiuqiu was a little stiff, as if she had done something wrong before and was being caught by the master.

Yuxia Zhenren didn't look angry, she smiled slightly, and beckoned to Qiuqiu.

"Master."

Qiuqiu pushed open the door and walked over quickly.

She stood in front of Yuxia Zhenren with a little trepidation.

"I'm sorry, I didn't want to eavesdrop......"

"I know you're not like that."

She just raised her hand and touched Qiuqiu's hair, and Qiuqiu was surprised to find that Yuxia Zhenren's expression became relieved.

"Master?"

Yuxia Zhenren smiled: "It's okay, your great-master uncle told me some things about the past." ”

Qiuqiu looked at the master a little blankly, it seemed that she was not qualified to know this secret.

It's often said that the more you know, the more responsibility you have. On the other hand, the space that can accommodate happiness in the heart will be squeezed more and more narrow.

Qiuqiu thought, it is indeed so.

She hadn't thought about Da Bai and Er Bai staying in the Seventh Peak for a long time, and she hadn't enjoyed them for a long time. I simply enjoyed the pleasure of delicious food. In the past, even the blue sky and the flowing stream made her feel enjoyable, but now she doesn't feel that mood anymore.

Is this the price of growth?

"Tomorrow, I will go back to Xiuyuan Mountain with Fujia Zhenren."

Qiuqiu clutched her sleeve tightly: "I'll go too." ”

"This has nothing to do with the small number of people, and when you encounter demons. Everyone can only fight alone, and no one else can help. ”

"But there must be more than one demon on the mountain." Qiuqiu will not be persuaded so easily: "And it may not be that you still encounter demons this time." ”

Yuxia Zhenren couldn't help but slander, it's really hard to deceive when the child is older. It's still good when I was a child, my little face is round, my eyes are big and watery, and I always look stupid and innocent when I look at people.

Yuxia really thought that she had begun to miss the past repeatedly. Maybe she's lived long enough, or maybe it's been a long time. Simply a happy time worth remembering. There are only a few fragments.

"It's not negotiable." Yuxia Zhenren looked into her eyes: "Do you remember what I told you?" The hint that Fujia Zhenren once gave me. We also successfully found the real person of Fujin, which means that we will definitely be able to survive this catastrophe. ”

Qiuqiu narrowed her eyes.

Don't try to fool her with this.

Fujia Zhenren gave a hint, but the hint did not guarantee that Xiuyuan Mountain would be able to survive this catastrophe. There is no guarantee that Yuxia will survive safely.

On the contrary, Yuxia Zhenren's calm is different from before. On the contrary, it gave Qiuqiu an ominous premonition.

There is always a feeling that maybe when she says goodbye today, she will never see Master again.

Fu Jin Zhenren and Yuxia Zhenren may have planned to investigate the two of them and leave her behind. In this way, there is always the last heir of Xiuyuan Mountain in the world, and the inheritance will not be cut off.

Qiuqiu will not follow their wishes and listen to such an arrangement.

Yuxia Zhenren looked at her rare stubbornness and actually laughed.

Qiuqiu really didn't guess wrong.

The worst plan for Fujin Zhenren and Yuxia Zhenren is to burn the jade.

If Fu Jin can do it alone, then he won't tell her this secret.

If possible, of course, Fu Jin Zhenren wants the sect to retain one more person, a force, and a inheritance.

But he'd already tried once, and he really couldn't reach the main peak alone.

Yuxia Zhenren thinks about it very much, she is a person who has already died once, and now this life is all picked up.

The only thing she was reluctant to do was Qiuqiu.

She felt that there was too little time, and she still had a lot to teach Qiuqiu.

"Come" Yuxia Zhenren took the apprentice's hand, just like she led her and asked her to kneel down in front of the portrait of the patriarch to worship the teacher, and led her forward.

Qiuqiu's heart was heavy.

Master must have made up her mind, even if she can stop it once, but next time, what about next time?

She couldn't stare at Master all the time.

If Xiuyuan Mountain really fell into the worst situation now, it might be the only way to let the sect completely disappear from this world.

If someone had to do this, it could only be Fu Jin, Master, or her.

But the current situation is that she knows too little about the sect, and she doesn't know anything about the mountain protection array, even if she is allowed to go, she doesn't know what to do.

"Things in the world have always been endless, reincarnated. Sometimes death is not the end, but a new beginning. ”

Qiuqiu held Yuxia's real hand tightly.

"Master, don't leave me."

"Master will not leave you." Yuxia Zhenren promised: "You have always been very open-minded, but you shouldn't be stubborn in this matter." ”

If open-mindedness means watching the master go to death, Qiuqiu would rather not be open-minded for the rest of his life.

But she just silently held Yuxia Zhenren's hand and didn't say anything.

The drizzle subsided, and the rain-washed air was exceptionally fresh, with the aroma of earth.

Two unknown moths flapped their wings and tentatively flew out. They fly extremely low, and the air is too heavy with moisture. Their wings must also feel heavy.

The two moths fluttered around them.

Yuxia Zhenren stretched out her hand, and the moth was attracted by the peaceful aura on her body and landed on her fingertips. The wings flare slightly.

"You see, these moths, their lives are only a few days, which is too short for us. It's a shame. But in them, it's a whole life. They've done what they're going to do, or they've flown to where they want to go, and every journey has a beginning and an end. ”

She flicked her fingers slightly, and the moth flew up with some reluctance, towards the depths of the herb bushes.

Qiuqiu stubbornly shook her head: "Even if you say a hundred truths, I won't agree." ”

"Okay." Yuxia looked at her with a real smile: "Master promised you." ”

"Really?" Qiuqiu couldn't believe it.

What did Master do just now...... Well, so righteous and awe-inspiring. See through everything. How could she change her mind because of her reluctance?

She couldn't believe her ears: "Master." Are you telling the truth? ”

"yes." Yuxia Zhenren nodded: "Master promised you." ”

But this time, Master is going to break his promise.

Qiuqiu is still too young, despite her efforts to grow. But the time was still too short, and she was still too fragile. It's too immature.

The burden left for her is too heavy.

Yuxia Zhenren thought, in fact, inheritance is not so important.

Some of the words she had wanted to instruct were swallowed back.

Let's just let her live a little easier.

Just now, she also told Qiuqiu a bunch of great truths about the cycle of life and death, how could she put it on the affairs of the sect, and it was her turn to see it?

Thousands of years ago, there was no Leaving the Water Sword Sect in the world. From nothing to fame, but as she told Qiuqiu, everything will have an end, and the same is true for the Lishui Sword Sect.

Don't force Qiuqiu to pass her on.

Qiuqiu still couldn't believe that Yuxia really agreed to her. But Qiuqiu also thought very well, anyway, she followed the master firmly, watched her, let her go, after a long time, she would definitely be able to come up with other ways, and others would try their best to stop it.

She is not afraid to sacrifice herself, but there is not only one way to achieve the goal, there must be other ways to succeed.

The night was so quiet that even the insects and birds gradually fell into a deep sleep.

"Master, I know...... I was naïve and selfish in doing so. But let me watch you leave...... I can't. Qiuqiu took Yuxia Zhenren's hand, and the two walked forward along the path between the medicine gardens: "Sacrificing one's life, when it is put on others, can always be said to be very easy and great." But when it was my turn, I realized how difficult it was. Master, take it a long time, and let's think of a way together...... There must be another way. ”

Maybe there is a way without sacrifice, and maybe those fellow disciples can be saved.

"Hmm." Yuxia Zhenren bent down, picked a small lilac huā flower from the herb branch, leaned over, and inserted the small huā in Qiuqiu's hair: "Well, it's pretty good." I remember when you first went up the mountain, your sisters always treated you like a rag doll, braided you with a small braid, and tied a string of coral bean beads, so that your whole body tinkled like a cash cow when you moved. ”

Qiuqiu snorted.

"Master, do you want to be a senior sister? I miss them so much. Senior Sister Jingxin is so good to me, just like my own sister. Senior Sister Jingyi is also yes, if she comes back, I will definitely double my pleasure and not let her snort all day. ”

"How can you not want to." Yuxia Zhenren said slowly: "I miss your senior sister and them too." When meditation first came to me, it was only a little older than you. She lost both of her parents, and when she first arrived in the mountains, she couldn't sleep at night......"

Qiuqiu listened carefully.

But......

But she clearly felt that there was something......

Not proper.

Where is it?

But she turned her head to see that Master was beside her.

"Jingyi is actually a little anxious and competitive, but she doesn't have any bad intentions......"

Qiuqiu suddenly thought of something wrong.

Why hasn't it dawned yet?

What time is it? Why is it still as dark as ink?

The Night...... How could it be so long?

"Master?" Qiuqiu eagerly grabbed Yuxiazhen's hand.

Yuxia Zhenren was unconscious, and continued to finish what she had just said: "If I had known that the time we spent together was so short, I wouldn't have retreated and cultivated so frequently, but would have spent more time with you to accompany you to study and practice swords......

She turned her head to look at Qiuqiu.

"Master?"

Yuxia was still smiling at her.

Qiuqiu looked left and right in fright.

It's too quiet all around, it's not right to be quiet, why doesn't the sky light up? Where are the people of Wuloushan? Where's Shi'er? Over here...... What is this place?

PS: Well, half of this chapter was written, and I deleted it all and wrote it all from the beginning.

I always feel that the meaning I want to write is not expressed. The second watch will be later, everyone will sleep first, and come back tomorrow.
