The death of a loved one is a great sorrow.

Qingli has practiced medicine all her life and has seen many life and death partings, and Aunt Wang's death is actually the result she has long expected. The healer, although he is dying with the heavens, is powerless when the time comes for the end of his life.

Before the sickbed, the dog baby cried hoarsely and finally fainted.

Qingli sighed, picked up the dog baby, and went back to the grass house where she lived every day, looking at the child lying on the bed, still full of tears, her heart was a little shaken.

Before Mrs. Wang died, she begged Qingli to adopt the child, because after half a year of getting along, Mrs. Wang could see that the dog baby was very close to Qingli, and Qingli seemed to like the dog baby, so she had this request. But Qingli was very hesitant, she had always traveled alone, and she never thought that she would take a child.

However, the bowl of water seems to be still yesterday, the serious and hard work of the dog baby when studying medicine also resides in the heart, and the child who has experienced the pain of bereavement and cried until he faints is right in front of him.

Fate is such a thing, it is impossible to explain.

It's like, before the dog baby, Qingli never thought of teaching others medical skills, but the dog baby's earnestness inexplicably moved her, so that the two formed this fate of teachers and friends.

Qingli gently wiped the dog's little face and whispered, "Maybe, I can take you out of here and give you a different life." ”

Qingli seemed to think of something, and was stunned for a while, and then his face was solemn, as if he had made a decision, and he stretched out his finger and pointed at the center of the dog's eyebrows, and a faint light flashed and disappeared into the center of his eyebrows.

In poor and backward mountain villages, the funeral is also very simple, a straw mat and a soil pit will bury a person's life.

The dog baby kowtowed three times in front of Aunt Wang's grave, and then under the eyes of the villagers, she went away with Qingli.

This is before, Qingli discussed with the people in the village, originally she didn't take away the dog baby, and the child could be well taken care of in the village, many uncles and aunts liked this child very much, and Aunt Wang took great care of him when he was alive, not to mention that the child has no relatives now. But Qingli said the instructions of Aunt Wang before her death, and the villagers also felt that it would be better to let the dog baby follow Qingli to walk the rivers and lakes than to stay in the village, so they agreed to Qingli's proposal.

Since then, Qingli has had a little follower by his side.

Qingli goes all the way north, will go to Yongzhou, and will pass through Liangzhou on the way, this time, the end of the world, maybe the dog baby will never come back.

Along the way, the two slept in the open. The dog baby is used to living a poor life, and Qingli is also used to this kind of life, and she doesn't feel anything wrong. On the contrary, it was the dog baby, who came to the world outside the village, and he was a child, and soon got out of the pain of bereavement and recovered his lively nature. In order to allow the dog baby to grow up healthily, Qingli also taught the dog baby some special breathing and breathing methods on the way, and let him practice it every day. The dog baby is very obedient, and she practices diligently every day, and her body is much better than when she was in the village.

This journey is also full of happiness.

A year later, the two came to the central city of Liangzhou, one of the legendary holy cities of Kyushu, Tushan Castle.

Qingli bought a delicate small courtyard, and after settling here, Qingli said to the dog: "We will live here for a while, and my sister will wait for a friend to come." ”

The dog baby naturally listened to her, so the two of them temporarily stayed in Tushan City.

During the time of waiting for Qingli's friends, Qingli still taught dog babies medical skills, and usually went to the doctor, but most of them were for some poor people.

About a month later, Qingli's friend came.

It was a handsome man in the wind of Yushu, followed by a gentle and dignified beautiful woman, and a playful and cute little girl.

"Engong, it's been a long time. When the man saw Qingli, he bowed his hand.

Qingli turned sideways, did not accept his salute, and said with a smile: "The doctor is benevolent, I just did my duty as a doctor, Brother Su doesn't have to be like this." ”

At this time, the little girl ran to Qingli and smiled sweetly: "Sister Qingli is good!"

"Yan'er has grown so big?" Qingli smiled and picked up the little girl, and said, "When I first saw her, she was still in swaddling clothes." ”

The beautiful woman also stepped forward to salute and said gently, "Thanks to meeting you in the first place, otherwise my husband and wife really don't know what to do." ”

The little girl's name is Su Yan, her father's name is Su Xingfeng, and her mother's name is Bai Jing. A few years ago, not long after Bai Jing gave birth to Su Yan, the family of three traveled to Liangzhou. Su Yan was inexplicably poisoned at that time, and her life was in danger, which made Su Xingfeng and Bai Jing anxious. At that time, they heard that there was a miracle doctor in the nearby mountains, and their medical skills were extraordinary, so they went to find a doctor with the mentality of giving it a try, and they met Qingli in this way.

Su Yan's life was saved, but some of the truths behind it, Su Xingfeng and Bai Jing were never willing to mention it.

After rescuing Su Yan, Su Xingfeng and his wife promised Qingli that if Qingli needed help in the future, he only needed to bring a letter, and he would definitely be in the sea.

When she left the small mountain village with the dog baby a year ago, Qingli just thought of it, so after arriving in Tushan City, she asked someone to bring a letter to Su Xingfeng and asked him to come to Tushan City to meet him, in order to settle the dog baby.

After a detailed discussion, Su Xingfeng looked at the dog baby who had been silent, and the dog baby also looked at him, the child seemed to realize something, his lips were pursed, and one hand kept grabbing the corner of Qingli's clothes.

"This child has very good bones, and he can enter my door and practice with me. Su Xingfeng said.

"Okay, then Brother Su will accept this apprentice. Qingli smiled slightly.

Su Xingfeng nodded, faced the dog baby and said, "Child, are you willing to worship me as a teacher and follow me into the Tao to practice?"

The dog baby asked curiously, "What is cultivation, and why should I worship you as a teacher?"

Su Xingfeng couldn't help laughing: "You go with me, you'll know." ”

The dog baby looked at Qingli, saw that she was smiling and silent, and said eagerly: "I don't want to go with you, I want to go with Sister Qingli, wherever she goes, I will go!"

Qingli smiled and said: "My sister has found you a good family, you don't have to follow your sister to the end of the world in the future." ”

But the dog baby shouted, "I don't want to leave my sister!" and ran out angrily.

"This kid ......," Qingli sighed helplessly.

Bai Jing smiled: "I'll go see him." With that, she left, and Xiao Suyan also followed her mother.

When I walked into the yard, I saw the dog baby sitting on the steps in front of the gate, holding her cheeks with both hands, frowning, and sullen there. Bai Jing knew the child's life experience from Qingli's letter, she was naturally very distressed as a mother, and she somewhat understood why the dog baby was reluctant to leave Qingli, because Qingli was not a relative but better than a relative for him. He experienced a departure from his loved ones, and his young heart has already resisted this parting, so when Qingli is about to part with him, his reaction will be so big.

Bai Jing sat down beside him and asked gently, "Child, what's your name?"

The dog baby didn't answer, but Su Yan, who came out with Bai Jing, was unhappy, and said to the dog baby: "My mother is asking you! Why don't you answer?"

The dog baby snorted, twisted her face to the side, and ignored Su Yan and Bai Jing.

"Mother, look at him!" Su Yan jumped to her feet in anger.

Bai Jing reprimanded: "Don't make trouble, come and sit, don't talk!"

When Su Yan saw that her mother was not on her side, her mouth suddenly deflated, and she was about to cry, Bai Jing glanced at her, Su Yan immediately held back and sat down beside her mother obediently.

"Listen to Miss Qingli, your name is ...... Dog?" Bai Jing asked softly.

The dog pouted, nodding or shaking her head. Su Yan sat on the other side of Bai Jing, puffing up, but she didn't dare to make a mistake in front of her mother.

Bai Jing continued: "Child, I know that you are reluctant to Miss Qingli, after your grandmother dies, she will be your only relative, right?"

Hearing this, the sadness in the dog's heart was aroused again, and she nodded with tears in her eyes.

Bai Jing said: "Then do you know why Miss Qingli asked you to follow us?"

The dog baby shook her head and said, "I don't know." ”

Bai Jing smiled: "Because Miss Qingli wants you to have a home." ”

"Home?" the dog baby was stunned and looked at Bai Jing in confusion.

Bai Jing nodded and said: "Yes, it is a family, someone in this family loves you, someone loves you, and will never leave you, although we are not related by blood, but we will take good care of you like Miss Qingli, so that you can live happily and happily." ”

Bai Jing's words were very gentle, like a spring breeze blowing into the heart of a dog baby, he looked at Bai Jing blankly, and the stubbornness in his heart was already shaking. Dog baby and Aunt Wang since childhood, Aunt Wang is his first relative, a kind grandmother; the uncles and aunts in the village take good care of him, but that is just a kind of simple kindness of the villagers; later met Qingli, that is a kind of sister and brother of the same emotion; he is not very old, but there are two most important roles missing in life - father and mother.

Bai Jing took the dog baby into her arms and patted him gently on the back. The woman's arms were full of warmth, and at once the seven-year-old puppy broke into tears and cried.

Su Yan was on the side, also pouting, and whispered: "Shame, shame, shame, why are you still crying so much." ”

After appeasing the dog baby, Bai Jing proposed not to rush to let the dog baby apprentice, but stayed temporarily. After all, the child is reluctant to part with people close to him, so that he can get along with Qingli for a while, which also allows him to accept the difference with Qingli.

Qingli and Su Xingfeng had no opinion, so the Su family stayed and stayed.

The child's heart is the most pure, who is good to him, he can distinguish clearly, and can remember it firmly. After that day, the dog baby had an obvious dependence on Bai Jing, because he felt a kind of warmth from this beautiful woman that he had never felt before, perhaps, that is, maternal love.

During these days in Tushan City, Bai Jing often took Su Yan and the dog baby out to play together, and the two children quickly got acquainted. One day, the dog baby got up early in the morning, came to the courtyard, and saw Su Yan practicing, her small body standing against the rising sun, her eyes slightly closed, breathing according to a unique rhythm, you can clearly see that there is a pale golden mist inhaled by her, and at the same time, the little girl's body is covered with a layer of misty light, and she looks like a little fairy at a glance.

The dog baby watched for a while, and also learned from Su Yan's appearance, breathing in the morning sun, but he didn't know how Su Yan did it, he just remembered the method that Qingli taught him, so he did it. In a few moments, his body was also shrouded in a misty golden glow, and a pale golden mist swirled between his mouth and nose.

This scene was seen by the three adults, Su Xingfeng was amazed, and asked Qingli: "Does this kid know the method of cultivation?"

Qingli said with a smile: "No, his family has been poor since he was a child, and his body is weak, so I taught him some common breathing and breathing methods in the cultivation world to help him strengthen his body." ”

Su Xingfeng suddenly said: "I see." ”

People in the cultivation world attach great importance to the inheritance of their masters, and generally each sect has its own Taoism, which is not allowed to be spread outside, but there are also general basic cultivation methods on the Shenzhou Continent, which are not restricted by the sects, and anyone can practice as long as they understand it. What Qingli taught to the dog baby is this most common basic cultivation method.

Su Xingfeng asked this question, which is also human nature, but after understanding the reason, he paid more attention to the dog baby. The dog baby itself doesn't understand these things, but for more than a year, she has been obediently repeating according to the method taught by Qingli. Qingli was also surprised, the dog baby looked at Su Yan, and she could learn from it, and it was the first time she had seen the dog baby cultivate in this way since they got along.

"Brother Feng, what do you think of this kid?" Bai Jing asked with a smile.

"It's a buildable material, and this apprentice deserves to be accepted. Su Xingfeng exclaimed, at first he was willing to accept the dog baby as an apprentice, most of the reason was because of Qingli, but today he witnessed the talent of the dog baby, Su Xingfeng really wanted to take the child under the door and teach him carefully, one day, he will be able to inherit his mantle, complete his long-cherished wish, and even go to a place where even he can't reach himself.

After the two children finished their morning exercises, Bai Jing beckoned them into the house for dinner. Su Yan learned of the dog's behavior, her little face was full of incredulity, and she said to the dogbaby: "It turns out that you are so smart, my father taught me for a long time, and I learned to absorb the essence of the dawn." ”

The dog baby scratched her head embarrassedly and said, "No......"

Everyone laughed, and Su Xingfeng said to the dog baby seriously: "Child, are you willing to worship me as a teacher?"

The dog baby looked at him, then at Qingli and Bai Jing, and saw that both of them were nodding, so they also stood up and said seriously: "Master is above, the apprentice has kowtowed to you." After that, he knelt down in front of Su Xingfeng and solemnly kowtowed three times.

"Good!good!good!" Su Xingfeng laughed, said three good words in a row, and after receiving the dog's kneeling, he helped him up, and said, "You don't have an official name yet, do you?"

The dog baby scratched her head suspiciously, and said, "I have it, so it's called Wang Gouwa." ”

Bai Jing smiled: "What your master means is to give you a new name, and the dog baby will be your nickname." ”

The dog baby let out an "oh" and looked at Su Xingfeng expectantly, Su Xingfeng pondered for a while, and then said: "You have no father and no mother since you were a child, and now you worship me as a teacher, it is better to follow the master, surnamed Su." As for the name...... A single name and a Chen character, take the meaning of the stars shining in the sky, how about it?"

"Su ...... Chen?" The dog baby chattered for a while, and said with a smile, "It seems to be better than the name of the dog baby, then I will listen to the master, and in the future, I will follow the master's surname, and I will be called Su Chen!"

"Okay, it's called Su Chen. Su Xingfeng smiled and touched Su Chen's head lovingly, "In the future, we will be your family, and you will also be our family." ”

"Hmm!" Su Chen nodded heavily, his eyes a little moist. Although he is young, he understands that true love is hard to find, and he can feel the sincerity of the master's family to him, and he will never forget it.

Qingli watched from the sidelines, and was greatly relieved in her heart, and handed over the dog baby to Su Xingfeng's family, which she had carefully considered, and now that they can get along so warmly, it has also fulfilled one of her thoughts, and lived up to Aunt Wang's deathbed.

The day of separation with Qingli has finally arrived, although Su Chen is reluctant, but he understands Qingli's hard work, when they parted outside the north gate of Tushan City, Qingli said to him: "You must listen to the master's words in the future and practice obediently, okay?"

Su Chen said: "Well, I will be obedient." When are you coming to see me, sister?"

Qingli smiled: "When you have a chance, come to my sister again." ”

Su Chen said solemnly: "I will definitely work hard to cultivate, and when I have a chance one day, I will come to Tushan City to find you." ”

"Okay, that's it. Qingli smiled, "Let's pull the hook." Su Chen showed the innocent smile of a child, hooked with Qingli, and then turned back to Su Xingfeng's family step by step.

The morning sun is warm and warm, just like the shadow standing under the city gate, no matter how long it has passed, it is the softest place in Su Chen's heart, and the people who are gradually moving away under the morning light are forever engraved in his heart.

It's just that Su Chen didn't expect that this farewell was almost a vicissitude......

In a cave somewhere in the Qitian Mountains.

After Xiyue and Su Chen communicated with each other, they saw the past that belonged to him, and it came to an abrupt end at the moment when Tu Shan separated.

The black qi on Su Chen's face receded, and the black purple on his lips and eye sockets also disappeared, and Xiyue saw the change in him, and the heart that had been hanging was also relaxed. Although he gave up half of his life, there was no accident, Su Chen was out of danger, and after the spell was cast, he could recover after recuperating for a period of time.

Where the palms of the two met, the last drop of jet-black poisonous blood dripped down, representing that the poison in Su Chen's place had been resolved. In the process of rebellion, the two of them blended their lives and communicated with each other, which also involved the exchange of blood, Xiyue started from his palm, introduced the poisonous blood into himself step by step, and dissolved the toxins with the phoenix blood in his body, but Su Chen's whole body was full of toxins, so at the same time, he also injected the blood of the phoenix into Su Chen's body, and used the characteristics of the phoenix blood to resolve the poison in Su Chen.

The reason why the person who performs the spell will lose his longevity is also because of the "exchange of blood".

Feeding the other party with his own body and blood to run out of oil and lamp, but also to maintain his own vitality, itself is overdrawing his vitality, so using "rebellion to create life" to save people will definitely lose his longevity. But fortunately, this kind of backlash is not incomprehensible to Xiyue, firstly, Xiyue already has a natural lifespan of a thousand years, which is lost by half, and there are still five hundred years;

I don't know how many days have passed outside, Su Chen and Xiyue have become pale now, but the situation of the two is slightly different, one is that his body is improving, and the other is that his own loss is too great.

Xiyue couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I've put my life on the line for five hundred years, and now I can't say that I don't know you." ”
