Jia Nan controlled the Qingzhu Immortal Sword, took Zhou Xiaotian, crossed the mountain end of the Caixia, and landed on the square in front of the Taixiao Palace. Jia Nan clasped his hands into fists and bowed slightly, saluting the four of them one by one. Finally, he said in a thin voice: "Master, little junior brother bring it." After speaking, he slowly walked behind Jing Fan and stopped making a sound.

Zhou Xiao was shy by nature, and when he saw that the four of them had a vulgar temperament and a fairy style, he lowered his head and knelt on the ground, learning from the previous Jia Nan's appearance, and saluted respectfully to the four of them.

"Get up!" Sedum said in a majestic voice, "Do you know your current physical condition?"

"The disciple knows. Zhou Xiaotian's voice was weak and small, but anyone could hear the sadness in it.

Although Sedum cultivated to a high level, when he heard Zhou Xiaotian's voice, he couldn't help but feel pity, sighed slightly, and said: "Alas~~ Heaven is not kind, you are so young, but you have to endure so much pain, in the final analysis, it is my Qingsang faction who is sorry for you." ”

He restrained the sadness in his heart and continued: "Even if you don't deserve to die, this person next to me is Chen Daoyou of Tianji Island in the Xingluo Sea, his master, the old man Tianji, is an unborn master, and his cultivation is unfathomable. Are you willing to go to Tianji Island with him, and if the predecessors of Tianji take action, you will naturally be 100% sure of curing your strange disease. ”

Zhou Xiaotian's body was shocked, he looked up at Chen He, his eyes were full of hope, and after a while, his eyes were dark again, he turned his head to look at Jing Fan, thought about it for a while, made up his mind, and said: "The disciple is lonely and miserable, no one to rely on, since the master took me in, I can be regarded as having a home." I am a teacher for one day and a father for life, and now that I have no parents, although I only have a few days left, I still want to stay by Master's side to fulfill my filial piety. ”

Jing Fan never thought that Zhou Xiaotian, who has always been shy and introverted and rarely spoken, would say such a thing, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of warmth in his heart. But he knew what was at stake, after all, life was at stake. Even if he was reluctant, he still hardened his heart and said: "You just have this intention, but it is a matter of your life, so let him go!

Everyone in the Qingsang faction knows that Jing Fan has a quirky personality and is proud of his integrity, which makes it difficult for the people around him to approach, but as a teacher, he is the most protective of his shortcomings, and he has always been a teacher like a father to his disciples.

"Master, I, I..." Zhou Xiaotian was so excited that he didn't know how to speak, and tears dripped down the corners of his eyes on the slate.

Chen He stepped forward and slowly squatted down, put his hands on Zhou Xiaotian's shoulders, and said in a deep voice: "Child, you and I were as stubborn as we were when we were children, and it is good to be firm in our beliefs, but sometimes we need to compromise our beliefs. Believe me, as long as you live, you will definitely have more opportunities to do what you want to do!"

Zhou Xiaotian looked at Chen He's deep and mysterious eyes in confusion, his soul seemed to be tightly attracted, and seeing Jing Fan nodding to him in acquiescence, he slowly lowered his head and said softly.

Chen He smiled slightly and said, "That's right, you go back tomorrow to prepare, and the day after tomorrow you will go back to Tianji Island with me." ”

"Master!" Following the voice, looking into the distance, Gu Yue's figure hurriedly ran towards this side. The little fox was snow-white, agile, and flicked a big furry tail, which followed closely behind, which was really conspicuous.

Gu Yue ran closer, gasped, and said, "Teacher... Master, Uncle Master, Uncle Jingfan, hello!"

The little fox ignored no one, and climbed onto Zhou Xiaotian's shoulder by himself, his little head rubbing against his cheek, intimacy.

Everyone couldn't help but be curious when they saw the appearance of the little fox, but after all, they were masters of the Tao, and their faces were still calm and calm.

"Why did you come here, didn't you let you stay in the Mirror Void Peak to cultivate?" Jing Yue's voice was not angry.

Gu Yue's head shrank and she took two steps back in fright, her eyes rolled wildly, she quickly ran behind Sedum, shook his arm, and said coquettishly: "Master, look at Master, you force me to cultivate every day. The head of the family loves Yue'er the most, and he must be the master of Yue'er!" After speaking, he didn't forget to make a grimace in the direction of Jingyue.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they looked at Gu Yue's appearance. Jing Yue was ashamed and said: "Forgive me, this little girl is usually spoiled by me, and she is becoming more and more disrespectful." ”

The smile on the corner of Chen He's mouth suddenly froze, and his eyes looking at Gu Yue became more and more solemn. Turning to Jing Yue, he said with half suspicion: "Daoist Jingyue, this child's system is really not simple, could it be ......"

Jing Yue pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "You guessed right, Yue'er is indeed a true spirit body that is rare in a thousand years, and she can detect the breath of everyone around her, even if she is a person with advanced cultivation, it is difficult to hide her aura around her, and her cultivation progress is also amazingly fast." ”

"It's rare, it's really rare! If Master is here, he will definitely be moved to accept disciples. ”

As he spoke, he took out a silver box from his arms, handed it to Gu Yue, and said, "I once got this set of shadowless flying needles in the Tianyan Desert by chance, a complete set of eight silver needles, and when you pour true qi, you can move as you like, and you are invincible. The function of this flying needle seems to be tailor-made for the body of the true spirit. can kill the hidden person silently, and now it is a perfect match for you!"

Gu Yue was overjoyed to see the silver box, but then she was stunned, twisting and pinching there, not daring to reach out and take it. She looked at Jing Yue's eyes with a look of pleading.

"Master... I...?"

"Since Chen Daoyou sent it away, you can accept it! Why don't you hurry up and thank Chen Daoyou!"

Gu Yue happily took the silver box, her attention was all attracted by the flying needle, but she didn't care: "Thank you, Uncle Chen!"

Jing Yue sighed helplessly, "Alas~~"

"Huh?" Chen He looked at the little fox Xiaoxue on Zhou Xiaotian's shoulder, his face was incredible, and he said strangely: "I didn't expect that your Qingsang Sect even existed such a strange beast!

The faces of the people present were full of doubts, and Sedum asked: "Chen Daoyou is talking about this little white fox? We don't know its origin, it seems to have something to do with Zhou Xiaotian! But we can't see that it has any divine beast appearance!"

Chen He smiled slightly and said: "It's not uncommon for you to not know, "Strange Beasts" has a load, in ancient times, the world was chaotic, and all things came into being, there was a strange beast named Tianhu, the legend has the art of reaching the sky, when he was young, he was like an ordinary white fox, and when he became an adult, his spiritual sense was wide open, he could transform into a beauty, know thousands of miles of foreign affairs, and be good at charming illusions, so that people were confused and demented, and the extreme cultivation of the Tianhu was with Tiantong. And this is just a legend, and it has not really appeared for thousands of years. ”

Lest everyone not believe it, Chen He continued: "Between its eyes, there is a small pale red vertical mark on its eyebrows. ”

Zhou Xiaotian brushed aside the white hair on the little fox's forehead, and everyone looked at it carefully, and sure enough, there was a light red vertical mark, which was still imperceptible under a closer look.

"This mark is also called the natural fetus, and only the sky fox has it, which is why I am so sure that it is the sky fox. When it becomes an adult, the natural fetus will undergo a mutation and grow a third spirit eye, which can not only see through the illusion of the world, but also have the ability to destroy the world. ”

After listening to what Chen He said, everyone looked at the little fox Xiaoxue's eyes became more and more weird.

Chen He smiled, and continued: "Obviously, this is a juvenile sky fox, and it will take at least a thousand years to become an adult, and now the strength is weak, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will be in danger of dying young." ”

At this time, Zhou Xiaotian woke up from his surprise and hurriedly explained: "Three years ago, I accidentally encountered it in the back mountain of Aocang Peak, and when I saw that it was extremely spiritual and close to humans, I thought it was just an ordinary little fox, but I didn't expect it to be a divine beast sky fox. ”

Chen Hedao: "It's normal for you to think like this, it seems to be very close to you, and it should trust you very much." In the future, you can't be bound to it, let it grow freely, and it will definitely be a great help for you in the future. If such a strange beast still warns you, don't pass it on to others, if it is known to everyone in the world, I am afraid that not only this little fox will not be able to protect, but I am afraid that it will also be a catastrophe for your Qingsang faction. ”

After listening to this, everyone already had a certain number in their hearts, and what they wanted to say about Chen He was by no means groundless, so they couldn't stop nodding.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Returning to Aocang Peak, standing in the courtyard, looking at every corner that had been imprinted in his mind in front of him, Zhou Xiaotian couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness in his heart, and a sour feeling was blocked in his chest, but he didn't know how to vent it.

Jing Fan left Jia Nan and Zhou Xiaotian to take the lead in the "Wind Bamboo Hall".

Seeing Zhou Xiaotian, who was standing still with a sluggish face, Jia Nan called softly a few times: "Xiaotian, Xiaotian?"

Zhou Xiaotian immediately woke up and hurriedly replied, "What, what's the matter, Second Senior Brother?"

"I see that you seem to have something on your mind, are you about to leave, and you are a little reluctant?"

"Hmm!" Zhou Xiaotian nodded lightly when Jia Nan said the central matter.

Jia Nan smiled slightly, put his hands on Zhou Xiaotian's shoulders, faced Zhou Xiaotian, and said: "Don't be too sad, our cultivators live a longer life than mortals, and people who cultivate to a high level like Master can live to be four or five hundred years old, so when you come back from your illness, you will have time to accompany his old man, and our senior brothers will also wait for you to return." ”

Zhou Xiaotian's eyes were red, and he couldn't help but tears were about to fall.

Jia Nan gently wiped away the tears suspended in the corners of his eyes, and continued: "We don't want to see you suffer from illness and finally leave us, leaving at this time is only temporary, for the sake of eternal reunion in the future, don't be too sad!"

Zhou Xiaotian was patiently comforted by Jia Nan, his mood calmed down a lot, and he nodded obediently.

Unexpectedly, there was a very incongruous cold snort in front of him, full of disdain, Zhou Xiaotian looked up, and saw Hao Xiangshou carrying his hands behind his back, throwing a body of fat, and slowly coming from the direction of the dining room.

"Senior brother!" Zhou Xiaotian was cowardly in his heart and hurriedly shouted.

Hao Xiangshou turned a deaf ear, ignored it, and said angrily to Jia Nan: "If you pretend to be a good person again, it is better to put that time on cultivation." This illness that even the master and uncle have nothing to do, no matter how much they comfort them, in the end it is not incurable, and they die like that!"

Jia Nan couldn't bear it anymore, and reprimanded loudly: "Don't you think what you said is too much? After all, we are from the same sect and the same family, and you don't comfort Xiaotian, how can you still speak disrespectfully? You really don't deserve to be this senior brother! Besides, the old man of Tianji has promised to come to the rescue, and Xiao Tian will go to Tianji Island with Chen He's predecessor the day after tomorrow." ”

Hearing the sarcasm in Jia Nan's words, Hao Xiangshou was so angry that his face was flushed and he glared angrily, but it was not easy to fight in this Ao Cangfeng courtyard, so he had to suppress his impulse first.

A burst of smoke wafted by, and a pure fragrance came from the "Wind Bamboo Hall", and the three of them were shocked, and their mood was suddenly pure and peaceful.

But I heard Jing Fan's loud voice in the hall: "Don't make noise outside the hall, Xiangshou, you go and copy the mental method of the sixteenth layer of the four great realms of the Taishang Xuanxuan Jue of this sect, a total of 18,642 words, which will be useful for the teacher the day after tomorrow." ”

Hao Xiangshou was aggrieved in his heart, and was inexplicably punished for copying his mind, he couldn't help but feel angry, and squinted at the two of them, but he didn't dare to violate the words of the background, so he had to clasp his fists and salute, and retreated with a "yes".

Seeing Hao Xiangshou's deflated appearance, Jia Nan and Zhou Xiaotian both secretly laughed.

Then Jing Fan said again: "Second brother, you go and pack Xiaotian's clothes and luggage, and remember to bring more elixirs that replenish qi and nourish blood." ”

Jia Nan also responded and left with his fists clenched, leaving Zhou Xiaotian alone in the courtyard, facing the "Wind Bamboo Hall".

"Xiaotian, you come into the hall, I have something to tell you. ”

Zhou Xiaotian walked into the "Wind Bamboo Hall", several big red candles were flickering and burning, and the scene in front of him looked dim and dim under the candlelight. Under the portrait of the patriarch Qing Sangzi, Jing Fan is sitting cross-legged on the futon, closing his eyes and recuperating.

Zhou Xiaotian cautiously stepped forward, slowly knelt on the ground, and gently called "Master".

Jing Fan opened his eyes slightly when he heard the voice, looked kind, and said, "How long have you been in my Aocang Peak?"

Zhou Xiaotian thought for a while in his heart and said, "It's been almost three years!"

"It's been three years unconsciously, when Ling Tianfeng was in the Taixiao Palace, I saw that you had poor qualifications, and I didn't want to accept you as an apprentice, but the senior brother in charge did it intentionally, and I couldn't go against his will. From the day you entered my door, I have been in retreat to understand the way of heaven, and I have never taught you anything, so you can complain about me?"

Zhou Xiaotian hurriedly replied like a frightened deer: "No, Master, no matter what, you can take me in, I am already grateful, how can I resent Master?"

Jing Fan sighed and said: "Alas~ You don't complain about me, but I feel ashamed in my heart, I thought you were okay when I saw your breath being stable, if I had been more careful at that time and noticed your physical condition, maybe there was a glimmer of hope to heal you at that time, but now I can only watch you suffer, but I can't do anything." ”

Seeing that the usually majestic and cold master was moved and guilty of himself at this time, Zhou Xiaotian was very flustered in his heart, and he didn't know how to speak, but he secretly swore in his heart, "Master treats me like this, and I will never let down my teacher in this life!"
