Chapter 19: Tianhe

Suddenly, another half a year passed, and Ye Xiaotian had made a slight improvement on the way to cultivation. And the relationship between him and Xiaobai Xiaoxue, because of Xiaoxue's communication, is no longer so "nervous". It's strange to say, after Xiaoxue turned into an adult, she didn't eat spirit grass anymore, but like him, she ate fireworks from the world. Only Xiaobai still has to eat some spirit grass, and for this reason, they have not gone to the back mountain in the past six months.

On this day, Ye Xiaotian and Xiaoxue had just had dinner and stayed in the room for the daily compulsory bickering. Suddenly, Xiaoxue seemed to feel something, and the whole person suddenly showed a frightened expression, and even her body curled up, Ye Xiaotian felt strange in her heart, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

Since knowing that she would be stuck in the second stage of transformation for a long time, Xiaoxue has reluctantly accepted her identity as a human being, and now she generally calls herself this girl when she is proud. Ye Xiaotian also complied with her wishes, and called her "Ben Xiaoxue" (stupid Xiaoxue) every time. At first, she naturally resisted as strongly as Ye Xiaotian, but Ye Xiaotian rarely persevered. After resisting for a long time to no avail, Ben Xiaoxue reluctantly accepted this nickname. As a result, both of them have nicknames that belong to each other.

At this time, Xiaoxue had already changed into the white dress she had just set at the beginning, and her long hair like a waterfall was combed into two braids and put on her chest, looking full of fairy energy. However, her expression at this time was completely incompatible with that of the fairy. Is there a fairy who is so frightened that she shrinks directly into bed?

Hearing Ye Xiaotian's question, Xiaoxue finally came back to her senses, she raised her head and said in a trembling voice: "Big fool, I'm ...... I sensed a sudden strong aura in the courtyard, as if it was ...... Over there at the Sanqing Dao statue. You say, did I steal one of his fruits during the day, and he came to the lower realm to trouble me?" she remembered that she had stolen a fruit on the offering table in front of the statue of Sanqing Dao during the day today. This, could it be that it is a certain Taoist ancestor in the Three Qings.

Hearing this, Ye Xiaotian didn't care. He happened to lose the bickering just now, so he couldn't help but mock: "Hmph, you dare to eat indiscriminately in the future!" But you don't seem to be very powerful in this ancient beast, and you can be scared like this at the slightest thing. Don't worry, you little rabbit demon, Sanqing Daozun won't bother with you!"

If Ye Xiaotian had talked to her like this in the past, Xiaoxue was afraid that she would have already refuted it. Only this time, she sat quietly on the bed, without saying a word. There was still a hint of fear in his eyes. This time Ye Xiaotian was also serious, he slowly stood up, pushed open the door and walked out, "I want to see who is visiting late at night?"

In the courtyard, the moonlight is like water, sprinkling the whole land into silver white, and a gust of night wind blows, bringing a whining sound, like crying and complaining. There was a voice, in the darkness of the night, that seemed to sigh softly.

Ye Xiaotian looked over, but saw that there was a person standing in front of the statue of Sanqingdao, and that person was standing in the shadow where the moonlight could not shine, and he couldn't tell whether he was a man or a woman.

"You...... Who are you, why are you here?" Ye Xiaotian was shocked for a while before he finally dared to ask. Just because of that figure, there is indeed an invisible and powerful sense of oppression.

"Little brother, I haven't asked you yet, but you asked me first?" the man turned around and walked slowly out of the lobby into the courtyard. Under the bright moonlight, his appearance was roughly seen. This is a very attractive middle-aged man, he is wearing a moon-white robe, thin eyebrows and square face, soft eyes, but there is a kind of vicissitudes that see all the vanity of the world, long hair shawl, sideburns slightly white, with a faint smile, looking at the blue-clothed young man under the moonlight.

At this moment, Ye Xiaotian was deeply impressed by his temperament, and he was stunned for a while. Until the middle-aged man spoke up again, "Little brother, I still have to ask you, why do you want to stay in my Lanxin courtyard, and also, Xiao Yun and them, why are they not there?"

"Your Lanxin Courtyard?" Ye Xiaotian was stunned, but his heart was shocked, deep in his memory, Senior Brother Zhou Yan once told him, the most talented elder of Zixia Peak, the same junior brother of the real person in charge, the legendary missing for a hundred years, the former pride of the Heavenly Sword Sect - Elder Tianhe.

Was it him? That legendary figure, standing in front of him at this moment? He blinked subconsciously, but the white shadow, the legendary white shadow, still stood there, like an eternal rock, eternal and unchanging.

Ye Xiaotian had never been so excited for a moment, and with great joy, he knelt down heavily towards the white shadow.

"Disciple Ye Xiaotian greets Master!" The crisp voice resounded through this small courtyard at this moment, and even the moonlight in the sky seemed to be suppressed.

As if touched by this immature and resolute voice, the white-clothed figure finally slowly lowered his head, looking at the blue-clothed young man who claimed to be his disciple, silently, for a long time!

..................

"So, they have all left the Lanxin Courtyard? even my eldest disciple, Xiao Yun, has already switched to someone else's sect?" The man in white stared at Ye Xiaotian, his tone as indifferent as if this was just an ordinary thing. Ye Xiaotian couldn't help but be stunned, this person was indifferent to his disciple's departure, and he was reluctant to give it even a little surprise.

Looking at that vicissitudes of life and cold face, he said in a low voice and stubbornly: "Master, Senior Brother Zhou Yan is still in this Lanxin courtyard, but he has gone down the mountain to travel now, and he will come back soon!"

"Zhou Yan, but I don't know! The Heavenly Sword Sect selects disciples once every ten years, I don't know how many generations of disciples I have?" Under the night, this vicissitudes of life man slowly walked into the courtyard and sighed in a low voice, "I didn't think about this tracking, a hundred years of time, just like this, even this small courtyard I am familiar with, is no longer a person, in this world, who else can remember my Tianhe?" At this moment, this chic and elegant man was only lonely.

Ye Xiaotian knelt behind him, but he didn't dare to say anything more until he asked again, "Little brother, how long have you been under my door?"

Ye Xiaotian replied respectfully: "Master, it's been three years since the disciple started!"

"Three years, then you have only recently entered the Heavenly Sword Sect?" Tianhe asked lightly with a smile.

"Hmm!" Ye Xiaotian nodded. But seeing Tianhe, he suddenly said: "Little brother, I Tianhe didn't teach you the exercises, and I didn't teach you the tricks, how can you call me like this?

Ye Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, but he said in a straight way: "Master, the disciple is a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and since he has already entered the master's door, he should respect the master and respect the way, and dare not cross the thunder pool!"

"Heh, you baby, you are very stubborn. Let me ask you, this whole small courtyard, but you have been cleaning?"

Ye Xiaotian replied sincerely: "No, Senior Brother Zhou has always been cleaning, but in recent years, Senior Brother has been added!"

"Senior brother?"

"It's the eldest disciple of the first master!"

"Yunshan's disciple, why are you in my Lanxin Courtyard?" Tianhe frowned, it seemed that he finally had something that surprised him, but it was still far away, and he couldn't be surprised.

"It's ...... It's because of ......" It's just that his question stumped Ye Xiaotian, and he was stunned, and he didn't know how to talk about it.

Tianhe saw his embarrassment, and said with a faint smile: "Okay, little brother, since it is inconvenient for you to say, I will not force it." But little brother, since you have guests in the house, why don't you let them come out and meet them?"

Before the words fell, a white bird suddenly flew out of the open door, the white bird came very fast, Ye Xiaotian had already landed on his shoulder before he could react, only to see it raise its head and scream at Tianhe a few times, as if it was provocative.

At the same time, an anxious shout sounded behind him, "Brother Xiaobai, don't go out, that guy outside is very powerful!" Ye Xiaotian looked back, only to see that Xiaoxue, who was still curled up on the bed just now, was running out of the house anxiously, but he ran halfway, as if he was afraid of Tianhe, he actually stopped, and looked at this side with a fearful face.

Tianhe didn't mind, only smiled faintly, and said to Xiaoxue: "You little girl, but you say that I am terrible! hmm? You are ......" seemed to notice something, Tianhe's face suddenly flashed a trace of doubt, and then, in the blink of an eye of Ye Xiaotian, he had disappeared in place.

"Hey, this is ......" Ye Xiaotian was feeling strange, and suddenly heard an exclamation behind him, "You, what are you going to do?" He hurriedly turned his head, and was shocked again. I saw that Tianhe, who had disappeared just now, was standing in front of Xiaoxue at this time, with rare curiosity in his eyes, while Xiaoxue was looking at Tianhe with a frightened face.

Caring about anything else, Ye Xiaotian hurriedly stood up, ran over, and hurriedly said, "Master, this girl can't speak, don't blame her!"

Tianhe didn't pay attention to him, but just said to Xiaoxue: "Little girl, if I'm not mistaken, you don't seem to be a real human being, right?"

"Hmph, this girl is really not stupid...... It's not human, so what's the matter?" Xiaoxue still stiffened her mouth. Ye Xiaotian was next to her, but she could hear it clearly, she was really afraid, otherwise she would definitely mock and scold the stupid human to elevate herself.

"Oh, what are you, as far as I can see, you don't have any demon aura on you!" Tianhe said slowly as he stared at Xiaoxue with his eyes.

"Hmph, do you still need to ask? I'm such a girl with aura, of course I'm a spirit beast!" Before meeting, the man just stared at himself, asking questions, and there was no other movement. Xiao Xue simply let go, no longer cowering, and even spoke a lot louder.

It's just that as soon as she finished speaking, Tianhe's brows furrowed again, and she seemed to be more puzzled, "Spirit beasts, as far as I know, spirit beasts can only successfully transform into humans if they reach the seventh order or above, right?"

"Hmph, isn't it weird? This girl has just reached the seventh order, what's wrong?"

"Seventh Order? The little girl laughed, when the spirit beast reaches the seventh order, its strength is equivalent to the completion stage of our human cultivators. It's just that I found out, little girl, your strength is not that high!

"This ...... I, I, why should I tell you, if you know everything in this world, then it is better for you to do the way of heaven!" Seeing that the lie was exposed, Xiao Xue's face was a little unbearable, and her voice was much weaker. It's just that she usually quarrels with Ye Xiaotian, she always wins, she is used to having a good face, she is not willing to admit defeat easily, and she is talking nonsense at the moment, and she actually moves out the Heavenly Dao that she has never seen. The supernatural power of the Heavenly Dao is still what she listened to Ye Xiaotian.

It's just that her nonsense made Tianhe stunned, he looked at Xiaoxue and seemed to fall into deep thought, "Yes, there are too many things in this world that are difficult to determine, just like the chase in this hundred years, the advent of the Tianwen Divine Sword, and the doubts of the girl in front of him." If you want to know and grasp everything, what is the meaning of the existence of the Heavenly Dao?" Thinking like this, the attachment in Tianhe's heart seemed to fade, and the curious light in his eyes gradually disappeared.

He looked at Xiaoxue and said lightly: "Since it's inconvenient for the little girl to say, then I won't force it! I'll just think that the little girl is a spirit beast, but I didn't expect that the little girl, as a spirit beast, would follow this little brother!"

Xiao Xueden was not happy, glared at Ye Xiaotian, and said angrily: "Who wants to follow this big fool, this girl will stay here, it's just because Brother Xiaobai is here!"

"Xiaobai?" Tianhe frowned, and suddenly saw the white bird standing on Ye Xiaotian's shoulder, as if he understood something, he looked at Xiaobai carefully for a while, and suddenly sighed: "I didn't expect that the little brother is young, but his experience is extraordinary, so soon there are two spirit beasts around me who can't even tell the origin of their origins!"

"This ...... They are ......" Ye Xiaotian was about to explain a little, but at this time Tianhe said: "Little brother, since you have already had so many extraordinary experiences, why not add another strong stroke to your life?"

Hearing this, Ye Xiaotian was confused for a while, and he didn't know why. And Tianhe couldn't help but shake his head secretly when he saw him like this, "Alas, this son is really mediocre in qualifications, and he can't even understand this, I don't know if I pass on what I have learned all my life to him, but it's good or bad! What's more, since this son can meet me, it can be regarded as fate. Thinking like this, Tianhe couldn't help but regain his indifference again, and said slowly: "Little brother, do you want to be my disciple and learn what I have learned all my life?"

Ye Xiaotian understood Tianhe's words at first, he was stunned at first, and then immediately turned shocked, and even brought a trace of ecstasy and worry, "Master, Master, the disciple is originally a disciple of the master......"

"Isn't that different?" Tianhe interrupted him with a smile, "If it's just a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect accepted on my behalf, I will only pass on his Heavenly Recipe and answer some of his doubts in cultivation." But if I Tianhe personally collects it, what he learns is what I Tianhe has learned all my life. Do you understand?"

"This ......" Ye Xiaotian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

"Little brother, think about it carefully, I will go to Tongtian Peak to visit Uncle Xia in the next few days, and in three days, I want your answer!" Ye Xiaotian came back to his senses, only to see that at some point, there was no Tianhe in this courtyard, only the indifferent words, floating in his ears, lingering for a long time!
