I was stunned, my fingers clutching my sleeves tightened fiercely, but I was at a loss and at a loss.

How could it be injured suddenly...... Could it be that the demonic barrier has flare up again? This time it's so serious, will I ......

In the midst of the confusion of thoughts, the coolness of stepping barefoot on the floor made me gradually calm down, put on my boots indiscriminately, hurriedly picked up the lamp, and pushed the door away.

The cold wind at night was quite steep, blowing away the few residual temperatures on my body, I went out in a hurry, wearing only a thin white shirt, and at this moment I only felt a chill in my back, neck and even limbs.

It was easy to run all the way to Master's room, and when he stood at the door and wanted to knock on the door, he hesitated.

It's late at night, would he be angry if he disturbs him like this?

The sudden sharp pain in my abdomen made me unable to care much more, and I raised my hand to knock on the door, and my heart was uneasy.

There was a moment of silence in the room, then the movement gradually increased, and the footsteps came close to the door opening.

The man's thin figure was draped in a sandalwood robe, Xu was awake from sleep, squinting at me with narrow eyes, and said vaguely, "Apprentice...... How? ”

I wanted to speak, but I had already shivered, and he frowned, "The night is heavy and dewy, so thin and ran out, how can I make it cold?" "One side and two steps forward, unoff the robe and cover me.

"Master, I, I'm going to die......" Before the words fell, my long-accumulated tears instantly welled up and sobbed.

He was stunned, "Good and decent, why do you say this?" Seeing me turn around, my white shirt was stained with a large amount of blood, I couldn't help but be startled, the residual sleepiness on my face instantly turned into nothing, and I was busy holding my wrist with one hand to check the pulse, frowning and closing my eyes, "When is it, why don't you say it during the day?" ”

"I don't know ......"

His expression was already extremely solemn at this moment, but he still maintained his composure on the surface, and his speed of speech was extremely fast, "Apprentice, don't be afraid, as a teacher, you don't know much about medical skills, let's go find a real person immediately!" Then he couldn't help but say something, and pulled me all the way to walk briskly.

His palms are warm, and his fingertips are slightly rough that is characteristic of martial arts practitioners. The candlestick was like a lonely lamp lit up the three or two stone steps in front of it, and the forest was quiet and quiet, squirming, only the sound of the clothes of the two walking through it.

Master Ben walked quickly, and when the long staircase was about to end, he suddenly stopped, and I was unguarded, and the whole person almost bumped into it, and I looked up to see him turn around, and look at me hesitantly.

"Apprentice, how old are you this year?"

I was inexplicable, I don't know why he suddenly asked, and told the truth, "It's time for the next year." ”

A look of epiphany appeared on his face, and he muttered, "I see, I just said ......" Seeing that I was at a loss, he replied, "Apprentice, let's go back, don't bother Jiechen." ”

My heart was half cold, "Master said that this injury is not saved?" ”

He was stunned by my question, and he stopped talking, as if he was carefully considering the wording, and only after a long time said, "This injury, is it...... Is it a personal ...... There will always be ......"

I was puzzled: "Does Master have it too?" ”

He choked speechlessly, biting his lower lip, and gesturing to himself, "I-" thought for a long time, but didn't explain to me after all, "You don't have to ask...... Can you still be bluffed as a teacher? I said it's okay, it's just okay, you go to Ningchun Hot Spring, change your clothes, and then come to my room. ”

I watched him leave in a daze, still puzzled. Ning Chunquan is a living spring in the south hall, the water is warm, I finished washing, rushed to his bedroom according to the words, passed by the window in his room, and took a look.

There is a purple sand medicine pot on the stove, and his side face is shrouded in steaming smoke, except for the usual masculinity, the eyebrows and eyes add a bit of femininity, but it is just right, I don't feel that my face is burned, and I care about this injury, I hurriedly put away my thoughts, and then pushed the door in.

He extinguished the fire, served the medicine, and "drank it while it was hot." ”

I stared at the dark medicinal soup I was holding and frowned, "Master, are you proficient in medicine?" ”

"Huh? I learned it from the elm head...... I know a little bit about it. ”

"Do you know what kind of injury I have?"

The other side was silent again, the candle flame in the room was naturally brighter than the oil lamp in Shicai, his face was slightly red, and he wanted to laugh again, but he was helpless, "Apprentice, did the elm head give you a medical book?" You have to look at it more when you're free, and you can understand everything. ”

Then he got up and tidied up his clothes, "Your house is damp and cold, just stay here tonight, don't catch the cold." ”

"What!?"

I was sipping the sweet medicinal soup, and I almost didn't squirt it out, although his room was spacious, but there was only one bed, this, this......

He packed up his things, and when he saw that I was reacting violently, he couldn't help but stop moving, "Don't you choose a table and find it difficult to sleep when you change rooms and sleep?" ”

I saw that his face was calm, and then I realized that I had misinterpreted the meaning of his words, and hurriedly lowered his head, "No, no, I will live here......"

He had already packed his bags and was about to leave, but I called Master just as he was about to leave the house.

He paused and turned to look at me.

Should I tell him about the nightmare?

Originally, I was alone, I was careful in everything, I didn't want him to see my fragile side, and then show mercy, and never overstep the rules, causing trouble, so careful every day is really tiring, but now it seems that something has changed invisibly, originally between us, or I am in his instinctive vigilance and fear, between this little bit of day and night, gradually released.

I bit my lip for a moment, and finally told me about the nightmare, only skipped the part of Su Qi slaughtering the village, and I was so excited that I was inevitably incoherent, and he listened quietly to my whispering, and the candle flame was reflected in his eyes.

"The disciple doesn't want to kill, I'm afraid of blood, but ...... But the disciple did not regret going to this Penglai...... I fear that innocent people will die in my hands...... I'm also afraid of being weak all my life......"

He pondered for a long time before Fang slowly spoke.

"Apprentice, I haven't asked about your life experience, it's because I approve it, I want to protect, I want to support, and I don't need others to interfere. In the same way, if you are not strong, you will be held back for the rest of your life, and you will only be able to keep what you want to be able to preserve. As for killing, this world is chaotic, and it is difficult to say whether it is good or evil, so it is necessary to distinguish between good and evil in your heart. Cultivators, who dares to say that their hands are not stained with blood? And if you are only afraid that you will hurt the innocent, so you are incapable of being manipulated by others, then no one will say innocent for you! ”

The last sentence of that sentence was sonorous and powerful, and I lowered my head and thought, these words are not like plain and humble as he said, is ruthlessness the law of this world? Could it be that the path of cultivation is destined to be difficult to escape from killing?

Seeing that I didn't answer, he also realized a little, raised his head slightly and sighed, "You are still young, it seems that you are too much to say this, but you have been a teacher for many years...... Maybe now, you have to stay in Penglai for life, and you don't have to worry about anything else. All I can do is protect you until you don't need me anymore. ”

"If you're still afraid of nightmares, I'll stay by the side for the night and sleep."

He dimmed the candle flame and sat down at the table.

”

"If you're still afraid of nightmares, I'll stay by the side for the night and sleep."

He dimmed the candle flame and sat down at the table.

I stared at the back for a long time, and then I slowly lay down, pulled the futon and wrapped it around my body, and there was a trace of the bitter fragrance of wormwood and the smell of dust in the pillow.

After a long time, I still did not speculate whether his words and the warmth he gave him had encouraged the thoughts of non-division buried deep in the shadows, and subverted my mind of respecting him, fearing him, and treating him as a teacher.

And the unseen emotion creeps into life, is it another catastrophe in my fate?

I don't know.

Just a dreamless night.

Just a dreamless night.

One day, Master went into retreat again, and told me that I was injured and that I should not practice, and that I was so merciful for the first time that I should live and recuperate.

But am I the one who is so quiet? I don't feel tired of staying in the house for half a day, I just want to go out for a walk, wander the south hall, wander around, and live a small life quite leisurely.

Unconsciously walk to the high platform of martial arts, and down is the winding stone steps, leading to the east hall. While pacing slowly, I secretly thought to myself that I didn't know what Han Kite was doing in the East Hall at the moment, and that he was practicing martial arts with Xun'er and them......

In the middle of the wandering mind, behind the high stone where the master was standing three steps away, a male voice suddenly came.

"Little disciple Penglai, I haven't seen you for a long time."
