Time flies, like a white horse passing by, and a few years pass slowly, time is like a plain white light yarn floating in the spring breeze, and unconsciously, it has drifted to today.

In the past six years, Xiao Cong has been carrying water every day, cooking rice, and doing everything he can, in addition, following the master's teachings, he has to copy the "Ice Heart Formula" 3,000 times a day, in order to practice martial arts, he has to go to the back mountain on time to accept those almost inhumane training, but he has never complained, in the words of the master, "If you want to be noble in front of people, you will suffer after others", in his own words, at best, it is a sentence of "just get used to it" That's it, Tiandao Weng repeatedly told him that he was the first Xiao family member in history who could cultivate, and he must not waste this unique talent, so in the past six years, he has been desperate for himself - as long as he doesn't die, he will practice to death!

Six years have passed, Xiao Cong is no longer the immature little doll he was back then, but has grown into a handsome and chic handsome and beautiful young man, although there are still some traces of childishness on his face, but he is still not hindered from using words like Pan An and Yan Bi Song Yu to describe him, especially those black and bright eyes, always smiling and moaning, which makes people like it very much.

On this day, after finishing his morning class, he rushed back from the back mountain, sleepy-eyed, hazy, the sun had just climbed the treetops, and the sunlight shining from between the leaves made him feel a little unable to open his eyes.

He bypassed the entrance wall of Tiandaoxuan and walked into the courtyard, but unexpectedly saw that Tiandaoweng was standing in the middle of the courtyard at this time, dressed in plain clothes, indescribably fit and regular, as if he was waiting for something, he rubbed his eyes vigorously, in his memory, the master had never gotten up so early.

Tiandao Weng raised his head, put his hands behind his back, and said without looking back:

"It's back. ”

Xiao Cong bowed, his voice respectful and peaceful,

"Master. ”

The atmosphere was a little low, the birds in his ears were endless, but Tiandao Weng, who was facing away from Xiao Cong, did not speak for a long time, Xiao Cong scratched his head, and then touched his nose again, and now the feeling made him extremely uncomfortable, and even a little scared, but he was silent because he didn't dare.

The master and apprentice were silent for a long time, and finally, Tiandao Weng spoke:

"Xiao Cong, it's been about ten years since you came to Tiandaoxuan. ”

Xiao Cong made a rough calculation in his heart and replied:

"Yes. ”

"Alas, it's been ten years......"

Tiandao Weng sighed heavily, Xiao Cong saw that his head seemed to be raised a little higher, this scene seemed familiar, it was so similar to that day six years ago.

"Xiao Cong, let's master and apprentice, how much is a fate, and I don't sell you as a teacher, alas, you are leaving today, and I am really a little reluctant to be a teacher. ”

As he spoke, Tiandao Weng couldn't help but let out a few wry smiles, and Xiao Cong's heart was sour, he couldn't help but sobs up his throat, and asked cautiously:

"Master, what's wrong? Is Master going back to Dongsheng Immortal Capital?"

Tiandao Weng nodded, finally turned around, and said meaningfully after a slight sigh:

"Alas, I should have sent you away six years ago, but this delay has dragged on for so long, and I really can't accompany you anymore as a teacher, my good apprentice, let it go. ”

Xiao Cong hung his head gloomily, a string of crystal tears fell on the bluestone floor with beads, he raised his arm and wiped the tears away, but he couldn't help but let the tears flow involuntarily, and the cheeks that had just felt dry were then moist again.

After a while, his emotions calmed down, he has always been a sensible child, so he knows that being too reluctant at this time is a burden for the master, today is the last day of the master and apprentice in Tiandaoxuan, how can the master be so unhappy? That is not filial piety.

He raised his head, squinted at Tiandao Weng's skinny face against the dazzling sunlight, and for the first time felt that Master's bones were so high, and it was also the first time that Master's face was so old, his lips squirmed slightly, and he swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva before he said:

"Master, there is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, the apprentice understands, besides, the will of heaven is difficult to disobey, the master is re-ranked in the immortal class, and the apprentice should be happy for the master. ”

As he spoke, Xiao Cong broke into a smile, and there seemed to be a small flower on his immature little face, but the blooming of this flower made people feel so reluctant, and his heart was as confused as numb, he slowly knelt down, respectfully kowtowed three times in a row, and said:

"Master, ten years ago, you accepted Xiao Cong, taught carefully, and raised it so far, the grace of enlightenment apprentice is still unrequited, if the master does not dislike it, let the apprentice make a simple breakfast for the master. ”

Tiandao Weng's face finally showed a smile of relief, as always, kindness on his thin face made Xiao Cong feel warmer than the morning sun, he took a few steps forward, walked in front of Xiao Cong, slowly put his hand on Xiao Cong's head, gently rubbed Xiao Cong's long black and soft hair, and said slowly:

"My good apprentice, how can I dislike it as a teacher? I have lived for so long, and I have accepted you as an apprentice, so you kid finally did not disappoint the teacher, but this sudden parting, I don't have much experience as a teacher......

He sighed, as if Xiao Cong was speaking, and as if he was talking to himself,

"Forget it, let's not talk about it, you can go. ”

Xiao Cong got up, bowed again, and just turned around, but heard the voice of Tiandao Weng sounding behind him,

"By the way, make another copy of the braised little hare you made before, it's the last time, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat it in the future." ”

Xiao Cong turned his head, smiled slightly, and replied softly:

"Got it, Master, the apprentice will go back as soon as he goes. ”

"En, the teacher is waiting in the side hall. ”

Turning his head again, he finally couldn't hold back his tears like rain, and the tears that came out of the frame were like surging Xia Hong, breaking through the barrier of Xiao Cong's dike of thoughts, surging out. He walked forward step by step, tears streaming down in strings, dripping to the ground after soaking a large piece of his shirt, but he still didn't brush his sleeves, because he didn't dare.

Walking to the firewood room, Xiao Cong covered his face with his sleeves, whimpered, so that he cried, he squatted on the steps in front of the firewood room, folded his arms on his knees, buried his whole face deep between the two walls, and his slightly trembling body looked so lonely and helpless.

He will lose another loved one.

The Xiao family is not small to say, it can even be said to be very large, but if you count it carefully, the people who can make him regard him as a relative are sad, except for his father, mother, and master, who else? Is it difficult to count his evil eldest mother, his father's main house, and those three elder brothers?

Finally, he stood up, sniffled, and rubbed his eyes vigorously, his eyes were frighteningly red, and his eyelids were so swollen that such a pair of eyes were embedded in his innocent and lovely little face at this time, which made people can't help but feel a little compassion and pity.

"Alas, Master is going to leave after all, in fact, we are not people of the same world, I can accompany Master for so long, how can I ask for another extravagance, alas, forget it, I will always grow up, and what should come will come after all, I shouldn't be like this, because Master doesn't want to. ”

After a while, Xiao Cong respectfully returned to the side hall of Tiandaoxuan with a pot of braised little hare and a few delicate side dishes made by the way, gently placed the wooden tray on the wooden coffee table in front of Tiandaoweng, and then respectfully stepped aside.

Tiandao Weng, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, opened his eyes, and he quietly watched his apprentice finish all this, and then swept away the dust, smiled, and said:

"It's the last meal, you can sit down too, and let the teacher teach you the last lesson after eating. ”

"Yes, Master. ”

Xiao Cong didn't excuse himself, bowed, and sat generously on another felt next to the coffee table.
