Listening to Zhang Taichu's words.

Zhang Zhiwei's old face stiffened, and for a while, he looked a little cramped.

Zhang Taichu on the side captured this change, but said with a frown: "Lie down, Zhang Zhiwei, could it be that you really want to pit my apprentice?" ”

"I'm telling you, there's no door."

"If you really dare to Huo Huo my disciple, I will dare to take off the two front teeth on your mouth as mahjong."

When Zhang Zhiwei heard this, he hurriedly shook his head again and again, and said embarrassedly: "Senior brother, why do you think so? ”

"Could it be that you still can't believe in my character, senior brother?"

Zhang Taichu: "Heh, I can't believe it. ”

Tian Jinzhong: "Senior brother, where is your character, I can't see it, junior brother?" ”

Zhang Zhiwei: "You two! ”

Zhang Taichu carefully observed Zhang Zhiwei's face again, and said suspiciously: "Something is wrong, you must have something to hide from me." ”

"It's almost a hundred years old, and I still can't see what bad you old boy is holding back?"

Zhang Zhiwei's beard trembled, his eyes flashed, but he quickly replied: "Alas, senior brother, I am also worried, after the end of Luo Tianda Jiao tomorrow, the whole sex may make a move on my Longhu Mountain." ”

"Senior brother, don't you know, during your retreat, the group of people in the whole sex has become more and more noisy in the past few decades."

"Recently, I have even extended my hand to the Jiashen Rebellion that ended, to make this peaceful world."

"And this time Luo Tian Dajiao, Lao Lu's Tongtian Gong, as well as your senior brother Jinzhong, as well as Chu Lan and Feng Baobao gathered, I'm afraid that the whole sex has already been eyeing each other, and I guess I won't miss this opportunity if I say anything."

Hearing this, Zhang Taichu didn't pay attention to it at all.

Decades ago, in front of the whole world, I swept the whole sex, and I didn't dare to let out a fart without roots, but when I thought of Zhang Lingyu, Zhang Taichu said: "Senior brother, have you forgotten, who was the first person to take the lead in hiding when I went down the mountain?" ”

Of course, Zhang Zhiwei knew that that person was rootless.

More people thought that he was hiding from the world with thirty-six thieves, but in fact, only a few people knew that it was because he heard that Zhang Taichu had come down the mountain.

At this time, Zhang Taichu continued: "Those whole sexes want to find death, so I naturally don't mind treating them as melon seeds." ”

"What I'm studying is that this time I went up the mountain with all my sex, my baby apprentice and Xia He's two dolls, I don't know if I can take the opportunity to lift the mustard in my heart."

"I see Lingyu's stupid boy with a sad face every day, and I'm also annoyed."

Hearing what Zhang Taichu was worried about, Zhang Zhiwei's old face trembled, and he couldn't help but look at him with strange eyes and said, "Senior brother, the place you pay attention to is always so different. ”

Zhang Taichu smiled at this and did not answer.

In the time that followed.

The brothers chatted for a long time under this moonlit night.

Until there was no tea, the bright moon rose high into the sky.

The three of them then departed, and parted again when they came to a fork in the road.

Zhang Zhiwei turned around and went back to the Heavenly Master's Mansion, while Zhang Taichu pushed his senior brother Tian Jinzhong to the direction of the dormitory.

Along the way, between the two of them, there was a lot of chatting without a word, mostly about the bits and pieces of the past, and laughing from time to time in the process.

After talking, until they all opened their hearts to each other.

Zhang Taichu finally couldn't help it, and whispered to Tian Jinzhong: "Senior Brother Tian, I heard Senior Brother Zhiwei say that since I went into retreat that year, you haven't slept in the past few decades, haven't you?" ”

Hearing Zhang Taichu's words, Tian Jinzhong's originally smiling face suddenly stiffened at this moment, and it became a little bitter uncontrollably.

But he still pretended to be calm and said: "Alas, I'm not, I can't refine Qi anymore." I sit in a wheelchair all day long, and I have a lot of time, so I want to practice Jinggong. ”

"This meditation exercise, the effect is still very good, full of energy and not thinking about food, full of energy and not thinking about sleep, now that I am full of energy, I really don't need to sleep."

The old voice echoed between the bluestone walls, and no more emotions could be heard.

But Zhang Taichu frowned, obviously not believing it, and said in a deep voice: "Lao Tian, are you tired, can't I see it?" ”

"I sleep when I want to, why torture myself like this?"

When Tian Jinzhong heard this, his bloodshot cloudy eyes blinked, and they also showed a painful color, and said in a trembling voice: "I once promised Huaiyi to keep it a secret for him." ”

"I also promised Master that I would not give up my life."

"That's why I dragged this body and survived until now."

Zhang Taichu looked at Tian Jinzhong, who had his back to him, and didn't know what the other party's expression was, but listening to the tone, he also understood that the other party was by no means calm at the moment.

Tian Jinzhong continued: "Every time sleepiness comes, I only have endless fear in my heart, I am worried, worried that I will not be able to keep the secret. ”

"Only by always staying sober can I feel a sense of security, so I don't have to worry about living up to Huaiyi and my decades of hard work."

"Sometimes, I really want to live this day faster, so that I can go down early, find Huaiyi, find Master, and tell them that I have done it all..."

When Tian Jinzhong said this, his tone became choked.

Zhang Taichu's eyes were red, revealing unbearable feelings, and he stopped pushing the wheelchair and said, "What is there to keep the secret of the big-eared thief?" Even if it leaks out, what can it do? ”

"In my eyes, Lao Tian, you live a comfortable life by yourself, which is a thousand times more important than the so-called secret!"

Tian Jinzhong's body trembled, and he said in a trembling voice: "This is my own choice." ”

When Zhang Taichu heard this, he didn't say a word, then let go of the hand holding the wheelchair and walked in front of Tian Jinzhong in two steps.

He looked at Tian Jinzhong, who was already blurred with tears, and said firmly: "Just go down to see Master and Senior Brother like you, I'm afraid that they will all slap themselves with big ears, what, do you think they will be happy to see you like this?" ”

"You can sleep well tonight, if you don't worry, I will stay by your side to see who dares to get close!"

Tian Jinzhong gritted his teeth and held back a sentence: "Senior brother, I know that you are for my good, but don't force me anymore." ”

"I've been like this for decades, and if I stay up for a few more years, what's the point?"

Zhang Taichu said coldly: "Lao Tian, don't say it. ”

"If you don't want to sleep, I'll slap you and faint, and sleep for three or five days, what can you do?"

"Or maybe you can't even trust me?"

And Tian Jinzhong, who heard this, looked at Zhang Taichu's undoubted appearance, and his face changed again and again.

In the end, he closed his eyes helplessly, and sighed slowly: "Senior brother, why are you suffering." ”

Zhang Taichu raised his eyebrows: "I'm willing." ”

In this regard, Tian Jinzhong couldn't refute it after all, and fell silent.

And his closed eyes did not open again, but the frowning brows gradually relaxed.

And the tall body in the daytime also visibly relaxed at this time, and leaned on the wheelchair in a casual posture.

Feeling the sense of relaxation and security that he hadn't experienced for a long time, Tian Jinzhong muttered: "Senior brother, it's good to have you here." ”

And Zhang Taichu, his eyes also softened at this moment, and shook his head with a smile: "Sleep well, Lao Tian." ”

With that, he walked to the back again, gently pushed the wheelchair, and headed towards the dormitory in the night.
