Volume 1 Hidden Dragon Scroll Chapter 49 The Past of the Senior Brother (1)
Zhao Jian smiled embarrassedly, he knew that the senior brother was really worried about him, there were so many senior brothers on the second peak, Zhao Jian had never seen Lin Xiansheng be so attentive to other senior brothers, for Mei Zhenyu, the senior brother was like a brother who led by example, supervising and spurring him to grow up all the time; As for Zhao Zhu, Lin Xiansheng is as caring as a father, and he can even be said to be preferred, he can always carefully take care of the softest place in Zhao Zhu's heart.
This feeling once made Zhao Zhi very useful, he lacked family affection and love since he was a child, and now he has been cared for for more than ten years on the peak, so he is also very attached to the senior brother.
Of course, the Master also treated him very well, but when the Master came back from going to Badu to seek justice for him, he did not say a word, and he still did not thank the Master, and now he has led himself on the path of cultivation, and he has to pass on the mantle to him, which flatters him.
The experience in the Imperial Immortal Sect for more than a year made Zhao Zhu feel like a dream, and when he first came, he would sometimes sneak up in the middle of the night, just to confirm that he was not dreaming. It was because of this that he felt that he owed too much to his master and brothers. If you want to talk about life and death, Zhao Jian is actually afraid of death in his heart, but for death, what makes Zhao Jian even more afraid or unwilling to face is that he can't repay this kindness one by one in his lifetime.
Therefore, after Master told him how dangerous and unpredictable the path of cultivation was, he still chose this path without hesitation, thinking that one day he would be able to protect them like Master and his brothers protect himself, and for this, he was willing to give everything.
Lin Xiansheng never thought that Zhao Jian's little brain would think so many things, he just thought that the little junior brother was unwilling to be an ordinary person in the Imperial Immortal Sect for the rest of his life, so he embarked on the path of cultivation alone, and he didn't know that the master he had served for many years was also a five-spirit body, what he was worried about was that if this method didn't work, Zhao Zhu would have no way out, and the spiritual root in his body would be like a cannon that would be ignited at any time, and he didn't know when it would kill him.
The two of them were speechless, and they stood there for a long time, and Zhao Jian finally couldn't help but ask: "Senior brother, why are you so good to me, much better than any senior brother on the peak..."
Hearing him ask like this, Lin Xiansheng's expression suddenly became a little painful and mixed with some sadness, as if he recalled some things that he didn't want to recall anymore, he looked at Zhao Zhu and said slowly: "Actually, when I see you, I think of myself when I was a child, I was so weak, so helpless, so precarious, I can tell you a secret." Actually, I'm from the Shadow Sect. ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Zhi's pupils contracted suddenly, and the muscles in his body tensed instantly, but he thought that it was the senior brother standing in front of him, and the senior brother would never hurt himself! He gradually relaxed again, "Senior Brother must have a hard time...", he thought to himself.
Lin Xiansheng didn't notice his reaction, but was immersed in his own memories, he said his past in a calm tone, with a look of reminiscence on his face: "Before coming to the Imperial Immortal Sect, I grew up in Jincheng in Zhenxingzhou, and the local people called Guxia Stream, the place where I stayed was called Guxia Stream, which was an uninhabited deep mountain and old forest, easy to enter and difficult to get out, so the Shadow Sect would set up camp there. ”
Zhao Zhu asked, "Senior Brother, is that the base camp of the Shadow Sect?" ”
Lin Xiansheng shook his head: "Now it seems that it is definitely not, I heard the master say that after the battle to destroy the demons, the remnants of the Shadow Sect scattered and fled, each recuperating and recuperating, that place should be just one of them, and I am the remnant of the Shadow Sect." ”
Hearing Lin Xiansheng say this about himself, Zhao Zhi felt sad, but he didn't know how to comfort him.
"I've never seen my parents, they may be dead, or they may be hiding, no one has ever told me, I was brought up by a strange old man, he claimed to be surnamed Wang, and never told me his name, just let me call him 'Wang Xianren' There are some children out there who have the same experience as me, we were raised by different people, but the education and training we received since childhood were all the same cruel, at that time, every day there were children who died, and every day there were new children brought back by adults who went out."
Zhao Zhu knew that it must be the children who were brought back who were robbed or stolen from all over the country by the people of the Shadow Sect, so he was not angry in his heart, and said: "These people have really done all the bad things, and they can't die well." ”
Lin Xiansheng smiled bitterly, "It's true that it's not a good death, but that's a later story, I lived there like this for a few years, during which I tried to escape more than once, but all failed, and after being caught, I was inevitably beaten and kicked, and I was also beaten and beaten countless times, but fortunately, I survived." ”
Zhao Zhu didn't dare to think about such a day, he thought that he was already miserable when he was young, but compared with his senior brother, his past in Badu was as beautiful as the heavenly palace on earth.
"There is a child named Xiao Yixian who survived like me, we have a very good relationship, he is smart and clever, he is very liked by the adults there, and he is also the child king of our group, every time I am punished and not allowed to eat, he secretly brings me food, thanks to him I will not be starved to death." When talking about this person, a trace of warmth flashed in Lin Xiansheng's eyes.
"I thought that I would die slowly in the deep mountains and old forests in this life, until one day, I was tested by the spirit stone with three spirit roots, at that time, everyone looked at me with different expressions, but what I didn't expect was that Xiao Yixian was also a three spirit body, and the two of us were overjoyed at the time, because if it was a child with a spirit root, the treatment in the camp was completely different, and if the practice was done properly, there was even a chance to go out, although we didn't know what to do when we went out."
Zhao Zhu thought silently in his heart: "It must be some shady deeds, either killing people or taking children." But judging from the conduct of the senior brother, he probably wouldn't have done these things..."
"It was the first time in my life that I had eaten enough, the first time I had slept in bed, and the first time I was treated as a human being. But unlike Xiao Yixian, I was born stupid, and after a long time, the cultivation realm did not improve at all, on the other hand, he was only half a year before he could begin to sense and try to condense the aura of heaven and earth, and I spent less and less time with him, and the distance between us became farther and farther away. ”
Hearing Lin Xiansheng say that he was stupid, Zhao Zhu immediately retorted: "Senior brother, you are only in your early thirties and you are about to enter the realm of refining gods and returning to nothingness, and unlike ordinary people, you have to pay three times as hard as them, if this is stupid, wouldn't everyone in the sky be stupid and mediocre?" ”
Lin Xiansheng said: "But I really didn't have the slightest talent for cultivation at that time, and time passed day by day, I knew that those adults wanted us to grow up quickly so that we could help them do some obscure and dirty things, so I didn't care about cultivation at that time." ”
Zhao Zhu asked: "Senior brother, if you are so perfunctory, others will find out sooner or later, won't anyone blame you for this?" ”
