277, The Eve of the Storm (2)
After staring at each other for a while, Chang Xiu suddenly changed the topic and said, "Big brother, if you have any needs these days, just tell me, my brother and Ah Fei are not suitable to come here often, so as not to cause suspicion." ”
Seeing this, Li Ling could only helplessly look away in the end, and said: "I understand, you go and tell the other brothers, such as today, the town is full of heroes, so everyone must be careful." By the way, Wushuang ......"
Hearing this, a faint sadness flashed in Chang Xiu's eyes, and then said: "Big brother, don't worry, although Wushuang has an arrogant personality, he is never ambiguous in the face of right and wrong. Otherwise, he wouldn't have shown up just now, and now that he is gone, he must have gone out to find out the news. ”
At this time, Li Jia also nodded and said, "Yes, the two sons have always acted steadily, so don't worry, master." ”
Suddenly, Chang Xiu seemed to think of something, and whispered to Li Ling: "By the way, eldest brother, Sister Feng just passed the book, saying that she encountered a little trouble on the road, and she will come tomorrow night at the latest." ”
When Li Ling heard this, his heart moved, and he said, "In recent years, Feng'er's cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds, what trouble can stop him?" Thinking of this, Li Ling couldn't help but worry.
Seeing this, Chang Xiu smiled faintly and said, "Sister Feng is extraordinary, even if she encounters some tricky troubles, she will definitely be able to turn the danger into a disaster and get out safely." ”
"I hope so!" Li Ling said lightly.
Then, Chang Xiu picked up the wine jug in his hand and said: "Big brother, this wine is brewed by Xiu'er herself, this Xiaoyao is located on the edge of the wild sand, the perennial wind and sand are not stopped, the climate is dry, this wine is made of all kinds of fresh fruits, the taste is sweet and sweet, nourishing yin and moistening the throat, it is really good, you try it!" ”
Without waiting for Li Ling to answer, Li Jia had already reached out and took the wine jug, with an intoxicated look in his eyes, and then smiled: "Xiu'er, you still know the master, I will accept this wine on behalf of the master." ”
Li Ling looked at the wine jug in Li Jia's hand, then smiled bitterly, and said lightly: "Xiu'er, I haven't drunk a drop of wine in the past ten years, but since this wine is your heart, if you don't taste it, it will inevitably be unkind, and it will make Li Jia laugh." Well, you can keep this wine! ”
When Chang Xiu heard this, there was a satisfied smile in his eyebrows, and then he said: "Okay, then the eldest brother and Mr. A will eat slowly, Xiu'er will retire first, if there is any news, Xiu'er will come." With that, Chang Xiu bowed and then exited the room.
After Chang Xiu left, Li Jia put the wine jug on the table with a smile and said, "Okay, master, we have been on the road for several days, and we haven't eaten a good meal, so we have to feast on it today." ”
Li Ling smiled helplessly and said, "Li Jia, you have followed me for so many years, and you still don't understand me?" I don't have much appetite for these things, so you can eat them slowly! ”
Li Jia frowned slightly at this time, and said seriously: "Master, in the past in Zheng Guo, you had a light diet every day, I don't have any opinion, but this time when we went out, we traveled through mountains and rivers, and you went through several vicious battles one after another, and your body consumption was extraordinary. ”
After hearing this, Li Ling smiled bitterly and said, "If you want to say that, if I don't eat this meal, I will still make progress in the wild sand?" ”
"That's nature!" Li Jia hurriedly said: "If the master doesn't eat, he won't have the strength, if he doesn't have the strength, even if he enters the wild sand, he will definitely fall down because of his physical exhaustion, but don't forget, the master, this action is related to the life and death of the heart girl, and many of Ling Tian's brothers have also come here for this." Therefore, now you eat not only for yourself, but also for the heart girl, and also for the many people who support you. ”
Li Ling slowly raised his head, as if he had re-acquainted himself with Li Jia, and said, "Li Jia, I can be regarded as re-acquainting with you today, I didn't expect that I could still say so many bends from your mouth, and it was really wronged to let you follow me." ”
At this time, Li Jia said with a cheeky old face: "Master, what Li Jia says and does is for your sake, as long as the master is good, let me do anything." ”
Li Ling smiled helplessly, sighed, and said, "Hey, let's eat." Then he got up and went to the table and sat down slowly.
Seeing Li Ling sitting at the table, Li Jia hurriedly filled the wine glass, and said lightly: "Master, this wine is brewed by Miss Xiu herself, you should taste it." ”
Li Ling looked at the wine glass on the table, sighed suddenly, and then raised the wine glass and drank it all. The entrance of the wine turned into a trace of coolness, slowly flowing down the throat, and a sense of coolness suddenly swept over the real body, as if it was a cool breeze in the hot summer, which made people feel extremely comfortable.
Then, Li Ling slowly put the wine glass back on the table, Li Jia wanted to add more, but Li Ling stretched out his hand to block it, and said lightly: "Okay, the wine is good wine, but it's a pity that I have no taste at the moment." In the past ten years, I have quit drinking and meat, and my heart has become clearer, so it is better to drink less wine in the future. Today's cup is an exception, all because of Xiu'er, but this is the only one. ”
Seeing this, Li Jia sighed helplessly, so he could only slowly put down the wine jug, and said lightly: "The master has worked too hard over the years, in fact, Li Jia feels that sometimes, the master doesn't have to embarrass himself, and he ......."
Without waiting for Li Jia to finish speaking, Li Ling shook his head lightly and said, "You don't understand, no matter how hard and tired I am, I can't compare to everything that Xin'er has paid for me. Well, let's eat! With that, Li Ling picked up the chopsticks, tasted each dish, and then ate the bowl of rice in front of the table hastily, and then turned around and left.
Li Jia looked at Li Ling's back when he left, and there was a sense of sadness in his heart for no reason.
After eating, Li Jia beckoned the men to remove the meal, then said goodbye to Li Ling, and went back to the house to rest.
After Li Jia left, calm returned to the guest room, Li Ling sat quietly in front of Yun Kexin's bed, sighed leisurely, then turned around and meditated on his own.
Suddenly, the candle flame in the room flickered, and when the candlelight flickered, the figure in the room flickered, and a handsome man in white appeared, who was Ji Wushuang, the dustless son.
"You're here?" Li Ling opened his eyes slightly, looking at Ji Wushuang in front of him, but there was a hint of relief in his eyes.
"Big brother, it's been a long time!" Ji Wushuang rarely speaks and rarely convinces people, but at this time, Ji Wushuang took the initiative to speak, and his words were full of respect and worship. Since Li Ling rescued Ji Wushuang ten years ago, Ji Wushuang has been grateful and worshiped to this big brother in his heart, and he can even be said to be a god, and Li Ling is also Ji Wushuang's goal, Ji Wushuang keeps moving forward and has endless motivation, just because he has been catching up with Li Ling's footsteps.
"Hmm!" Li Ling nodded slightly and said, "You have made a lot of progress over the years, and you are almost catching up with Xiaofeng." Li Ling knew in his heart that Xiaofeng, as a descendant of the phoenix, had the power of the phoenix in his body, and had made rapid progress in the past ten years, which was expected, but Ji Wushuang did not have Xiaofeng's innate advantages, he had cultivated in the past ten years, and he could almost catch up with Xiaofeng, but he relied on his own understanding and hard work.
After receiving Li Ling's praise, Ji Wushuang was very satisfied in his heart, but he was naturally arrogant and cold, and his joy and anger were invisible, even if his heart was full of joy at this time, he would not show the slightest hint.
"Big brother smiled, compared to big brother, I'm far behind!"
Li Ling stared at Ji Wushuang in front of him motionlessly, and after a while, he suddenly let out a long sigh and said: "Wushuang, although your own potential is not as good as Xiaofeng, but you are born with a tenacious personality, extremely focused work, and extraordinary understanding, coupled with hard work, you can have today's cultivation, if you say that among Ling Tian, who has paid the most and worked hardest, it must be you!" These are your strengths, but they are also your weaknesses, you know? ”
Ji Wushuang knew that Li Ling had the heart to remind himself, so he just listened quietly and didn't make a sound.
Li Ling looked at a trace of confusion in Ji Wushuang's eyes, and then said: "Wushuang, I know that you have experienced hardships since you were a child, and you also cherish the things you have obtained very much, and it is precisely because you cherish all this that you have the motivation to continue to improve and become stronger." But you know what? If a person cares too much about certain things, he will have attachments, even obsessions, and if he is obsessed with his life, he will have desires, and his desires will be endless, and he will have demons. That's not a good thing for you! ”
Ten years ago, Li Ling fell into the devil because of Yun Kexin's affairs, and now he is still a half-demon and half-human body, suffering from demonic qi every day, but these all come from his love for Yun Kexin. Sometimes, even love can turn into obsession and become a demon, and love and hate in the world are like this. So at this time, Li Ling admonished Ji Wushuang bitterly, because Li Ling's eyes were like torches, and he had already faintly felt the little persistence and demonic nature on Ji Wushuang's body.
After Ji Wushuang heard this, he was very puzzled, his eyes flashed, and he couldn't think about it, he didn't understand, he became stronger because he wanted to protect the things he cherished, was it also a demon? He really doesn't understand? If that's the case, then what is the purpose of his penance for the past ten years?
At this time, Li Ling said lightly: "Wushuang, the eldest brother knows, what the eldest brother is saying now, you can't fully understand it yet, it's okay, you will understand it later." If you can understand what the eldest brother just said, you can finally break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly and become a generation of grandmasters. ”
"Big brother, I still don't understand! I'm practicing hard day and night, isn't it just to be a good man? What is a real master? Ji Wushuang finally voiced his doubts.
"Wushuang, you are persistent, deliberately seeking progress, although you can become a peerless master, but you can't stand at the top, the real top master, a generation of grandmasters, will always be more than the mind! If you can open your mind, go with the flow, and conform to the way of heaven, you will be able to reach the peak and achieve a generation of grandmasters. Li Ling said indifferently.
Hearing this, Ji Wushuang lowered his head and pondered for a while, then suddenly looked up at Li Ling, his eyes were scorching, making it difficult to force his eyes, and then asked, "What about the eldest brother?" Has the eldest brother let go of his attachment? ”
