After the rain, the sky was clear, and the first rays of sunlight pierced Xu Changan's eyes.

He was lying by the window, his clothes were still dry, and the little peach next to him pouted, and reluctantly put the bowl in his hand on the table.

It was a bowl of steaming ginger soup, and Xu Chang'an's heart warmed.

"You're so annoying, it's obvious that you went out to get out in the rain by yourself, but it's me who suffers. The little girl grumbled.

"Little Peach. ”

Jian Jiu's mellow voice came from outside the door, Xiao Tao'er stuck out her tongue, made a grimace at Xu Changan, and threatened viciously: "Don't sue, otherwise Mr. will punish me for writing again." Xu Changan smiled slightly, and Xiao Tao'er saw that it was useless to scare, and a pair of big eyes turned straight away, and immediately became watery and begged: "Please!" Xu Changan was laughed at by this little girl, so he could only nod.

Seeing this, Xiao Tao'er ran out happily.

Xu Changan tilted his head to look out of the door, only to see a green shirt still standing by the water.

Xu Changan walked out, although he didn't know how Jian Jiu rescued him in the first place, but he remembered that the four grandmasters surrounded them at that time, and from the fact that Jian Jiu was not injured, he knew that Jian Jiu was extremely powerful.

But he is such a powerful person, who often dazes in the stream, and there seems to be an endless sunset over the long river in his eyes, and the yellow sand is all over the sky. There is loneliness and sorrow.

Xu Changan walked out, his clothes not yet dry.

"Are you having fun?" he walked behind Jian Jiu, and Jian Jiu's mellow voice came.

"It's fun. ”

After hearing this answer, Jian Jiu ignored Xu Chang'an, stood with his hands in his hands, and looked at the stream, just after the heavy rain, the waves were sparkling, and the stones and aquatic plants seemed to be crossed with a layer of light.

Xu Changan stepped forward and stood side by side with Jian Jiu, watching the stream flow eastward.

"People are like water, and it is difficult to come back. ”

Xu Changan was stunned for a moment, looked at Jian Jiu, and only then did he feel that this was a person, a person with joys and sorrows. No matter how high a person's strength is, no matter how good his means are, as long as he has affection and desire in his heart, then he will never become an immortal.

"Does Uncle Nine have anyone else who is hard to forget?" Xu Changan asked cautiously.

Jian Jiu smiled slightly, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Life is a sea of seas, the world is unpredictable, if there is no desire, even love, and even hatred, how can you be considered a human being?"

Then he sighed, as if muttering to himself: "So, people like us can't become immortals after all." ”

Xu Changan stood quietly next to Jian Jiu, as quiet as the dog of an old man who accompanied his children on a long journey.

"It's time for you to go. Jian Jiu suddenly spoke.

Xu Changan was stunned.

Since he woke up, he has not felt unwell. But according to the routines of those storytellers, shouldn't there be some chance when you meet the elders?

Jian Jiu smiled slightly, seeing through Xu Changan's heart, Xu Changan immediately lowered his head, his cheeks were red and hot.

"You scoundrel is very strong, if those people didn't hold a shelf and stood high, this world would not be like this. Then he looked at Xu Changan and said: "I don't have any chances, only Qingfeng and a thatched house." How can you have the beauty of this life?"

Xu Changan lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Why don't the war end, wait for me to go back and find someone to repair it?"

Jian Jiu looked at him and shook his head, smiled faintly, and then looked at Xiao Tao'er in the distance.

Xu Changan also looked at the cute girl.

"Those who practice cultivate the Great Dao, cultivate the heart, and seek answers. As for what kind of golden mansion, it's just a passing cloud. ”

Little Peach pulled some small white flowers and placed them neatly in front of the tomb called "Old Man", forming a heart shape.

The corners of Jian Jiu's mouth pulled out a hint of a pampering smile, looked at her and said, "If one day, I'm gone, help me take care of their grandchildren." ”

Xu Changan looked at Jian Jiu.

"I'm not here, I'm not dead. In this world, unless I am willing, God will not be able to condemn me to life or death. ”

"In life, there must always be a long journey. ”

Xu Changan nodded with relief.

"Their grandchildren have always lived in this valley, rarely interacting with outsiders, and have a simple temperament. In the future, you have to take care of them. Xu Changan nodded solemnly.

Jian Jiu walked into the house and took out Xu Changan's long sword and two jade talismans.

Xiao Tao'er hid at the door and peeked at it, Jian Jiuyi turned around and saw Xiao Tao'er with tears on her face at the door, Jian Jiu's heart softened.

"Sir, don't you want Little Peach?" asked Jian Jiu in her immature voice, her face full of pear blossoms and rain.

Jian Jiu put down the long sword and jade talisman, walked over, and picked her up.

"Who said that Mr. doesn't want Little Peach?"

"I heard it outside the door. ”

Jian Jiu looked at her, hugged her tightly and said, "That will be a long time later, when Xiao Tao'er grows up in the future, she will always go out for a walk and see the outside world." ”

"You can't stay in this valley with your husband and grandfather for the rest of your life. ”

"I just like to spend time with my husband and grandpa. When the little girl heard that she was not going out now, she pursed her lips and said coquettishly.

Jian Jiu smiled, and could only coax her and say, "Okay, good." Shall we send my brother out later?"

Xiao Tao'er wiped away her tears, nodded, and suddenly asked, "Mr. is also very fond of that brother, why don't you leave him in the valley?"

Jian Jiu scratched her nose and said, "Because there are more people out there who need my brother." ”

Xiao Tao'er nodded as if she didn't understand.

......

Jian Jiu walked out with a long sword and a jade talisman.

He handed the long sword to Xu Changan and said slowly: "Although this sword is not the strongest, it can restrain you the most. Remember, when the sword breaks, there is no peace. Self-denial, don't let the sword break. ”

Xu Changan didn't understand a little, but seeing that Jian Jiu didn't explain his thoughts, he didn't ask too much and took the long sword.

"The true dragon essence blood in your body has a hint of ferociousness, you remember, think more when you encounter something, don't panic. And, try not to use this power as much as possible. This power has gradually merged with your blood, and there is nothing I can do, everything can only depend on you. ”

Jian Jiu instructed very carefully, in the past two or three days, there is not as much as this moment.

"Also, what you have learned is quite messy, I feel the breath of the group of blacksmiths in Tiejian Mountain, as well as the exercises of Shushan, and even the secrets of that group of monks in you. ”

"The learning is chaotic, the progress is very slow, there are very few great achievers, and even for thousands of years, only one person has been able to break through the small realm of the grandmaster. ”

When Xu Changan heard this, he immediately lowered his head. For others, when they reach the Grandmaster Realm, they can't ask for it, and they don't think much about it, but for Xu Changan, this is far from enough.

When Jian Jiu saw his appearance, he immediately comforted him again: "But there is no shortage of celestial indulgences, who will eventually crisscross the four seas and break through the eight wildernesses. There was once a person, known as the old man of Jianshan, who entered the country for the first time and lost all ten battles. But after more than ten years, we can compete with us. ”

Hearing this, Xu Changan raised his head, his eyes flashing.

He remembered that the lame man asked him to worship his master, and he was also a swordsman named the old man of Jianshan.

Jian Jiu looked at him and smiled.

"Your cultivation is still shallow, you still have a choice, you can start over, I can give you the exercises I have practiced, and it is not difficult to reach my realm. ”

"You can also practice the Ten Thousand Exercises and finally integrate them, and it is not impossible to reach the point of the old man of Sword Mountain. ”

Jian Jiu looked at Xu Changan and gave him his choice.

"The former is a thoroughfare, the latter is a trench. And I don't have the rest of the exercises, so I have to rely on you all together. ”

Xu Changan lowered his head, clenched his fists, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "I'll still follow the previous method." He didn't tell Jian Jiu that he worshiped the old man of Jianshan from generation to generation, because he felt that the gap between himself and Uncle Jiu was as big as heaven and earth. Don't say that Uncle Nine doesn't believe it, even he himself has some doubts about whether the old man of Jianshan he worships and the old man of Jianshan in Uncle Jiu's mouth are the same person. "Good. Jian Jiu smiled slightly, and then said: "Then I'll give you a small opinion, you have "Crossing Life" on you, you can study it first, and it can help you resolve the bloody qi in this trace of true dragon essence blood." As he spoke, he handed over the jade talisman that contained "Crossing Life".

Jian Jiu looked at the Bodhisattva talisman covered with cracks, thought about it, and put it away himself.

"I'll keep this Bodhisattva talisman for you for the time being, and find a chance to help you make it up. However, during this time, you should keep in mind that it is best to study the life of the Buddha well, not to rely on external objects, and to dissolve the blood and evil qi on your own. ”

Although he saw that the Bodhisattva talisman that had helped him many times was put away, Xu Changan did not resist at all, and he also knew that he was too dependent on foreign objects.

Xu Changan finally took a deep look at the tomb, walked over, and said softly: "Don't worry, I will definitely not let Yuedi be full of gray hair, and Yuedi in the future will definitely be as prosperous as Chang'an!"

After Jian Jiu finished explaining, he looked at him quietly, and without saying much, he turned around and left. Xu Changan wore the wide green shirt and followed behind Jian Jiu and Xiao Tao'er.

The mountains and rivers are long, and the spring is bright.

Speechless all the way, he finally stopped at Taniguchi.

Jian Jiu thought about it, then took out a jade talisman from his arms and handed it over.

"This valley is quite hidden, and I have set up a formation around it. You have to remember this road clearly, and if you want to come in the future, you can find this place with the help of the jade talisman. ”

Jian Jiu thought for a moment, and then added, "If you don't have anything special, you don't need to come. ”

Xu Changan nodded, walked to the mouth of the valley, walked in and took a look, only to find that there was a thin light curtain there.

Xu Changan bowed to Jian Jiuyi from afar.

Xiao Tao'er looked at Xu Chang'an standing at the mouth of the valley, jumped out from behind Jian Jiu, and ran in front of Xu Chang'an.

Xu Changan squatted down, and Xiao Tao'er whispered in his ear: "Don't believe Mr.'s words, I often come to see him if I have nothing to do, do you know that on the day Mr. came with you, I have never seen such an eager gentleman." And ......"

Xiao Tao'er peeked at Jian Jiu and whispered, "Mr. In order to save you, I have a few more strands of gray hair." ”

Xu Changan looked at Jian Jiu suddenly, he had heard the cripple say that if it weren't for special circumstances, the deeper the cultivation, the more this hair would represent the vitality, according to that......

Jian Jiu glanced at Xu Changan, then looked at Xiao Tao'er, and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Tao'er, let's go, you owe a lot of homework in the past two days." ”

Xiao Tao'er instantly made a bitter face and replied, "Got it, sir." ”

As he spoke, he ran over, picked up Jian Jiu's hand and walked back slowly.

Xu Changan looked at the two cyan backs, one old and one young, and bowed deeply again!

......

Xu Changan didn't know that it was precisely because of his and Jiang Ming's immaturity and willfulness this time that the situation in the outside world had changed dramatically!
