"You used to like to use Baizi to play against your teacher, and now you can use it too. Mu Min Immortal said.

For a moment, Bai Junqian was a little nostalgic for the past.

"Good. He picked up a white child, and also "snapped", forcing the black child to fall.

The master and apprentice shot like lightning, and the small chessboard suddenly became full of fighting spirit.

wanton permeated between the two.

Bai Junqian has been playing chess for a long time, and he is slightly unwell. But the scene of the happy fall in the past resurfaced in front of him, and he couldn't help but devote himself to it, forgetting everything.

Now that the rule has been set to win if they take away the sky and clouds, the two will use the center of the chessboard as the battlefield to face the attack and defense,-for-tat.

In this retreat and advance, the two people never spoke.

Immediately, the black chess of the Mu Min Immortal took the lead, built a fortress, and deployed several reinforcements, echoing the center from afar.

Unable to attack directly, White turned to plunder, spread a net to encircle, and then retreated to build a hub, and fought with reinforcements one by one in batches.

Time passed slowly, and both sides had their own injuries, but they also stabilized their own territory.

However, although the confrontation situation was still tense and severe at this time, the sunspot on the Tianyuan was still unmoving.

It's been a stalemate for a long time, and it seems that there is no way to win or lose.

Bai Junqian stopped and spoke: "Master, do you know why I haven't come back for so long. ”

“...... Know. Mu Min Immortal also stopped, and there was no expression on his face.

"I know that Master has done his best to save Liluo at that time, but he is already powerless. But if Master hadn't been so cold before, Liluo's body wouldn't have collapsed for a while. Bai Jun said.

Hearing this, the Mu Min Immortal fell silent.

For a long time, "You are really the same as Yuechen, you have been thinking about this for so many years." He sighed and put the pieces back into the box.

"Master, what do you mean by that?" Bai Junqian asked, turning his gaze from the black chess pieces on the chessboard to the Mu Min Immortal.

In fact, Chang Yuechen has been remembering this matter all these years, but what she believes is that the master is suffering.

But he is not like this, he is always angry about Liluo's death, Master's ignorance, thinking that Master is ruthless.

So much so that when he came out of the division later, Bai Junqian never went back, and rarely mentioned Mu Min Immortal in front of Xin, Shun, and Yaoyin.

"Don't you know, when I was in retreat, I was refining the elixir for Pear. And Liluo didn't collapse suddenly, but ......" Mu Min Immortal said this, pausing slightly. "It's that Liluo won't live to be eighteen years old. The evil qi in her body had already invaded her heart when she was a child, and she was destined to live long. ”

"What?!" Hearing this, Bai Junqian's heart sank.

"And Liluo is the daughter of the previous emperor, that is, the princess. When I entered the palace to face the saint, what the emperor entrusted to me was Liluo. Mu Min Immortal said in a serious tone.

I think that at that time, the rumors of Mu Min Immortals hanging pots to help the world, and their medical skills were already prosperous in the world, and naturally the royal family would also pay attention to them.

Bai Junqian raised his eyes and looked at him, a little incredulous, "Liluo is actually a princess?"

"Exactly. It was born to the emperor and her favorite concubine, but who would have thought that when Liluo was three years old, she would be under the evil spirit of a demon cultivator in the country, and by the time she was discovered, she was already powerless to return to the sky. So the emperor entrusted Liluo to me, saying that he was to continue her life, to conceal her life experience, and did not want Liluo to be hurt again in the next short time of life. Mu Min Immortal said.

"In other words, the emperor deliberately asked Master to conceal Liluo's identity?" Bai Junqian asked.

Mu Min Immortal looked at him in a daze, for a long time, nodded and said, "That's right...... At least when the previous emperor was still alive, the teacher must not disobey, and if he is not found to have disobeyed the emperor's order, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

"......" Bai Junqian was speechless for a while.

His master, Mu Min Immortal, was originally an upright person, and he would consider everything for others. But all his master wanted in his heart was to prevent his direct apprentices from being harmed by the imperial court because of his disobedience to the holy order.

Thinking of this, on the contrary, it was the master who has always given people a sense of majesty and affection, but he sincerely thought about them - Bai Junqian couldn't help but regret his original anger, which led to such a long gap between him and the master.

And he also remembered that the previous emperor had just left the sect and died not long after.

"Master Wei really wanted to tell you the truth, but Master couldn't find you at that time. It wasn't until later that I knew that you had settled in Ethereal Mountain, and wanted to visit as a teacher several times, but I didn't make up my mind. I deceived you for the sake of the teacher, and you have already left the teacher......"

Mu Min didn't finish speaking, but looked out the window.

Of course, Bai Junqian understood his master's mood at that time, the pear fell to death, and the two apprentices also left the school...... His master didn't want to bother them anymore.

After a long time, Mu Min Immortal spoke again: "Your senior sister also came to inquire about the incident of the family annihilation for the teacher some time ago, and the teacher only told her. I wanted to ask her to tell you, but she said that it would be better to let the teacher explain it to you personally. Now it's a clear explanation, but it's the knot in my heart that I've always had. ”

At this time, Bai Junqian couldn't ask why he wanted to make a pear falling body, but he just complied with the silence of Mu Min Immortal.

"That female apprentice you accepted, don't you really suspect that she has entered the Demon Dao?" asked Mu Min Immortal suddenly.

Bai Junqian's heart was shocked, and he responded: "Yes." ”

When Mu Min Immortal had expelled the Gu worms before, he had discovered the abnormality of Lingxi's body, and with that ring, everything seemed a little strange.

"If it really goes into the Demon Path, it will be very difficult to save it. Mu Min Immortal looked at Bai Junqian and said.

Hearing this, Bai Junqian was silent. He understood that the word "rescue" that Master said was not physical, but mental.

This is also true.

Immortal cultivators, or those who are born with evil energy, all fall into the demonic path, and then their mood changes, becoming violent and bloodthirsty......

"When the time comes, you don't want to show mercy to your subordinates, especially if she returns this ancient fierce sword. Mu Min Immortal said.

"No, it won't. Bai Junqian was shocked, "Master!"

Mu Min Immortal Yan Shan shook his head with a smile: "Jun Qian, do you feel that you have changed? Is this woman named Lingxi the person you want to be?" ”

Hearing this, Bai Junqian was silent.

Mu Min Immortal pondered for a while, and then continued: "In the past, as a teacher, I always felt that you didn't have any things or people you wanted to pursue, and although your cultivation was progressing, it was also because of this reason that you never got a breakthrough. People just need something that can hold their emotions so that they can support it. ”

"I care a lot about a few of my apprentices. Bai Junqian took a deep breath, slowly turned his face back, cast a heavy gaze on Mu Min Immortal's face and said.

"Really?" Mu Min Immortal paused, "I just hope that you don't look like an empty shell like you did before becoming a teacher, thinking that you are beyond the world and have seen through everything. However, being a teacher is just always confused, and the so-called fate and fate have not yet come. ”

Bai Junqian didn't speak, but his eyes were a little shaken.

And he didn't understand the meaning of Mu Min Immortal's words.

But is that really the case?

He couldn't be sure of it himself, and he found it unbelievable.
