CHAPTER XXI

"......" Xiaolian looked at him quietly, seeing that Qingxu's face was peaceful, he looked away, his handsome face was vaguely worried, and he sighed softly, "In the years you were at the bottom of the sea, Ah Jin often visited you in your Yuanshen cover, do you know?"

The gray thin lips couldn't suppress a little smile, "She's always used to nonsense, it's possible to sneak a peek at me behind your back." ”

"If she ......" Xiaolian stood up, stretched the window sash on the south side of the room with a partition, looked at the green plants outside for a while, and then paced back and sat down, "If she says anything in your Yuan Shen cover, you will treat her as the nonsense of the little girl's family, if you see or hear anything when you repair the Yuan Shen, don't be distracted and go against the spirit!"

.

"......" Qingxu lowered his head, looked at the white child in his hand, and the moment he lowered his head, a trace of elusive emotion flashed in his black eyes, and when he looked up again, his face was as calm as water, and it seemed that there had never been any change. Thin lips pursed slightly, "Ah Jin, in my eyes, she has always been a little girl who has never grown up." He dropped the white zi in his hand, his eyes were far away, as if he was watching the chess game carefully, and as if he was looking at some other place, "If she does something wrong, I, as a master, will naturally not care about her." ”

"That's very good!" a sunspot was fed into the game by two slender fingers, making a crisp sound in the quiet room.

The two played a game of tea and gossip, which was also leisurely.

Xiao Lian saw the white piece of the new cloth on the chess game, looked at it for a while, and said with a smile, "I lost this game." He took a sip of his tea, "Well, there's one thing I forgot to tell you." ”

"What?"

"I like this girl, Ah Jin. ”

“...... Holding the teacup in her hand, "This girl has a good temperament, she is very likable, up and down the mountain, I'm afraid there are few who don't like her." ”

The slender fingers rubbed the rim of the cup a few times before he spoke, "I'm in love with her." ”

"......" The black eyes that had always been as calm as water shook fiercely, he moved his lips, and only spoke after a while, "Ah Jin, although she didn't grow up with you since she was a child, she can be regarded as calling you Master for six years...... Furthermore, to become an immortal, it should be content with less desires, to be selfish, to keep heavenly principles, and to deal with it with a moral and just heart...... Love is the root of all fate, and you should know how to give it up. His face became paler and paler, and these few words seemed to consume too much of his strength.

Xiao Lian looked at him, he knew that Qingxu liked this girl, and he knew that with his temperament, he would never say such a thing. For Qingxu, Ah Jin is his apprentice and his child...... He has firm beliefs and abides by all kinds of rules and precepts, so how can he ruin his bottom line and his beliefs? If he falls in love with Ah Jin, he will also destroy himself. It's just that...... If Qingxu knew Ah Jin's intentions, his beliefs, and his bottom line...... Will it be shaken? Will it collapse? Xiao Lian's eyes darkened, and he was not sure.

He said this early to find out Qingxu's intentions, and it was also for himself. It doesn't matter if he has no confidence, or if he is selfish, he is competitive all his life, and he can only bow down in front of Qingxu. If Qingxu wants her, then he will let it go, because that person is Qingxu, the person he respects the most! But if Qingxu doesn't want her, he doesn't dare to ask her...... He won't let go!

Xiao Lian looked at him, "There is no certainty, and it is thought that it is superior to others," he put the teacup on the table, and said, "Cultivating virtue is not a matter of cultivating wood and stone, although the tree and stone have firm and unshakable beliefs, they have no emotional desire. It's really boring to practice like this. If you blindly restrain the bitterness and over-purify your heart and few desires, it is like killing in autumn without spring, and there is no spring vitality......" Before he finished speaking, he saw Qingxu standing up with Xiaoji, his face was extremely bad, "I'm tired." ”

Xiao Lian stepped forward to help him lie on the bed, "Today's game is a game, and I have talked a lot of gossip, I really can't bother you anymore!" Seeing that he had closed his eyes on the bed and breathed, he went out quietly.

.

On the cliff rock near the sea of Chunxu Mountain, two men were sitting on the edge of the cliff, and a taller man was frowning, and his neatly tied black hair was ruffled by the sea breeze, and fell loosely on his cheeks, adding a little annoyance. The other does not look very old, like a teenager, with a thin body, and if you look closely, you can see that he has broken arms, and the broken arms are hidden in wide sleeves, which could not be seen originally, but the wind is strong on the seaside, and the sea breeze blows, and the two sleeves are fluttering from side to side, and they can no longer be hidden, so that people can see the difference at a glance. This delicate and clear face inherits the unique beautiful phoenix eyes of the Feng clan, but there is no brilliance flowing in it, which makes people feel sorry for it, and it makes people can't help but guess what kind of terrible experience this young man has had.

Next to these two, the girl who sat on the side with her knees crossed and scratched the ground with gravel was Ah Jin.

.

Seeing that the two of them had been muffled and didn't speak, I threw the gravel in my hand into the sea, and couldn't help but say, "Brother Qingluan, why do you want to go back to the ghost clan?"

“...... I have lived there since I was very young, and I am familiar with that place, and I am familiar with it, and I have carefully touched every bluestone and every brick wall in the house, and I also recognize every tree and flower in the garden, and I don't want to leave. ”

"Is it because of the Seal Array?" Shangfeng picked up a broken stone from the side and threw it into the sea hard, his face flushed slightly with anger, "Are you still angry with me? is it because I hurt him?" You must know that this young master of the ghost clan has never sincerely believed me!"

Qingluan, who was originally quiet, became excited when he heard this, he turned sideways and "looked" at his brother who had always respected him, "For so many years, the Yin Array has acted above board and has never treated the two of us treacherously, can you admit it?When I first arrived there, I just broke my arms and was blind, during that time, you were often not in the clan when you were assigned tasks by the Ghost King, but those days were the hardest time for me!" he seemed to choke up, and after a while, he continued, " At that time, the Indian Array was always by my side, helping me heal, helping me find a doctor, helping me adjust, and he made me regain hope in life...... He's a friend, a brother, and a family member to me! Now you're hurting him like that!! I have to go back and take care of him!"

Seeing that Qingluan blindly blamed Shangfeng, I couldn't help but say, "Brother Qingluan, you can't blame your brother completely, the situation was critical, your brother was forced to hurt the Yin Array, and besides, the Yin Array they captured our Chunxu Mountain, causing us to have no peace up and down the Chunxu Mountain, many senior brothers and sisters were injured, and I was also injured...... I continued, "After all, the Ghost Clan has done something to encroach on other people's land, so it is also to blame. ”

As soon as I finished saying this, Qingluan became even more excited, "Sister Ah Jin, do you know whose realm is Chunxu Mountain? Since ancient times, all the boundaries south of the Tianhe Estuary and west of the Heavenly Boundary Mountain belong to the Ghost Clan! On the contrary, those sanctimonious Celestial Clans covet the land of the Ghost Clan and gradually encroach on it, and now they are opening their mouths to accuse others!"

"......," I was stunned and surprised, "I didn't say this casually, but there is evidence?"

"Since there is a credential, there is an ancient map as evidence, this map is the ancient map of the Father God who created the heavens and the earth and established the three realms, the ghost race, the heavenly race, and the human race each have a copy, and they can't be fake!"

“...... If this is the case, then the nine days ......"

"Nine Heavens is just a villain's act! This can be seen from the treachery of our Feng clan at the beginning!"

"......" Qingluan said this, it really surprised me, if this is true, then the words that Jiutian has always claimed to 'regain the land of the nine heavens and earth' are a joke. If Qingluan's words are true, then the Nine Heavens Conquest to recover the land is actually an invasion! An invasion cloaked in lies!

"Brother," Shangfeng looked at him, "you should know that I have broken with the ghost clan this time, and you should understand that I will not be able to go back." If you go back to the ghost clan, your identity will become delicate because of me, how should you deal with yourself? How should we two brothers see each other again in the future?

"Brother......" Qingluan's shoulders shrugged slightly, as if he was enduring something, "I want to go back, okay? You and I are connected by blood, even if we are separated from each other, we will not forget each other, not to mention that Ah Luan believes that there will be a day when I will see my brother again in the future." ”

"......" Shangfeng's eyes showed a trace of despair, he stood up from the edge of the cliff, his robe fluttered, he stood up, and said to me, "Ah Jin, Ah Di will ask you, you can send him back to the ghost clan." After speaking, he stared sideways at the elder brother who had been with him for a long time, and his steps were very hurried when he left, as if he couldn't help but turn around and reprimand his elder brother for not allowing him to return to the ghost clan.

Seeing Shangfeng leaving, I looked at Qingluan and said, "Brother Qingluan, even if you go back, you are like this...... I can't take care of the young master of the ghost clan!" In the face of such a pure child, I really couldn't bear to say the pain on his body, and after a pause, I continued, "Even if the young master of the ghost clan has always taken good care of you, but now? He was injured by your brother, and it is hard to guarantee that he will not be angry with you, do you still want to rush back now? What's more, this young master's father is the ghost king, and he will let you go? If you go back like this, won't you kill yourself?"

I tried to persuade Qingluan with reason, but I didn't expect him to shake his head so resolutely, I sighed in my heart, looked back at the direction of Shangfeng's departure, there was no one for a long time, presumably Shangfeng understood Qingluan's stubbornness the most, and he had no choice but to leave if he couldn't persuade him.

I stood up and helped Qingluan up, "Since you insist on this, I can't say anything more, if you regret it in the future, you can use this bead to send me a message, and I will find a way to bring you back." I put a letter bead containing a drop of my blood in Qingluan's palm, his fingers trembled slightly, and tears suddenly flowed from his eyes.

I closed his palm, "Don't hate your brother, he took you to hide in Tibet since he was a child, and later worked for the ghost clan, and he also wanted to find a place for you, and now he has betrayed the ghost clan and put your brother in a dilemma." If I say I can't help it, I can't help you. ”
