Chapter 4: Eight Years

Time is like water, eight years have passed in a hurry, Xue Lingfeng has been in the body since he was ten years old, and his body is as hot as fire every two or three days, and he must go to Houfeng to forget about his worries and soak in the cold pool, and eat those ice flowers that have absorbed the essence of cold water to relieve the pain.

And an even more cruel fact is that from then on, he can't continue to cultivate, the dantian is firmly occupied by the Demon Bird True Yuan, and even the slightest aura of heaven and earth can't be introduced, Chaoyangzi, Xu Changfeng and many elders and seniors can't find a solution after rummaging through the collection of books and ancient books, and the entire Heavenly Sword Sect is helpless, all shaking their heads and sighing and heartbroken, and in the end they can only give up.

For a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect, not being able to cultivate is equivalent to becoming a waste, Xue Lingfeng can't cultivate, and his life will be nothing, just like being suddenly emptied of everything, it is empty and dazed, pale and lonely, and even humble, even if he is Xue Xiaotian's son.

He felt that Ling Yunfeng had abandoned him, he was so out of place in the entire Heavenly Sword Sect, so he gradually became silent and withdrawn, his expression became indifferent, and he was reluctant to talk to others.

Xue Xiaotian had dominated the world for decades, and his ruthless cultivation was superb, making the entire Demon Dao fearful of him, and he was the most outstanding figure among the people of that generation of Heavenly Sword Sect, and it was precisely because of his great name that his only son left behind was now even more ridiculed and ridiculed by his peers.

Although he couldn't cultivate, Xue Lingfeng still insisted on reciting the 'meditation technique' silently every morning, and locked himself in the kitchen during the day, helping to do some physical work, as if he had become a fellow cook, who could not only escape from his classmates, but also find something to do for himself.

Eight years of constant suffering from ice and fire, but his body has grown very burly and strong, tall and thick thighs and feet, and the simple short cloth hexagram can no longer hide the bulging muscles, he is now eighteen years old.

In the past eight years, Xu Changfeng has cared for him very much, every time Xue Lingfeng is ill, he accompanies him to the Hantan to soak and relieve fever, Qin Xianglan also accompanies Xue Lingfeng to the Hantan, takes care of him, and carefully comforts and encourages him, but because the master strictly requires sword practice, more often than not, Xu Changfeng accompanies him, or he is alone.

He often wondered why the masters and uncles didn't tell him about their fathers and mothers? They only said that their fathers and mothers were great people, so where were they? Why did they never come to Lingyun Peak? How nice it would be if they were around, no matter what they became, they would definitely not dislike them!

Qin Xianglan and Dong Bufan were locked up by Chaoyangzi to practice all day long, and they had already begun to practice the superior exercises of this sect five years ago, since Xue Lingfeng could not practice, only Dong Bufan and Qin Xianglan were left in the key cultivation of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Eight years later, Qin Xianglan is already a big girl, pure and beautiful, with delicate and handsome facial features, long hair and shawl and purple clothes.

In Xue Lingfeng's eyes, she was extremely beautiful! It's just that since eight years ago, their lives have been very different, their worlds are developing in different directions, Xue Lingfeng has a deep inferiority complex in front of her, and he doesn't dare to look at her directly, although Qin Xianglan still cares about him the same.

Dong Bufan is also tall, strong, broad-faced, high-nosed, thick-eyed and big-eyed, with a serious expression on weekdays, and he has a kind of majesty and righteousness, but he has a bit of the style of his father Chaoyangzi!

He has been talented and hardworking since he was a child, and he is now a leader among the younger generation, and he has gone down the mountain several times with Qin Xianglan and several senior elders, and he can be regarded as a little famous.

When he was eighteen years old, Chaoyangzi passed on to him the famous sword 'Demon Scorn', which was gray and black and dull, a bladeless heavy sword without a scabbard, and the sword body was covered with dragon-shaped ornaments, and the sound of a dragon's groan echoed faintly when wielded.

Demon scorn is a majestic sword, if the sword wielder is tenacious and upright, then the sword can sense, giving birth to the power of demon subjugation.

He didn't have much friendship with Xue Lingfeng, since Xue Lingfeng couldn't cultivate, they didn't even see each other much, in fact, he didn't have much friendship with most people, maybe because of pressure, the most important thing in his world every day was only one thing, cultivation!

It was another beautiful sunny day, the sun was bright and the breeze was warm, Xue Lingfeng hid alone under an ancient pine, looking at the bottom of the mountain in a daze for a long time, his eyes were confused and his expression was indifferent, his scattered hair was tightly attached to his face, and he looked like a vicissitudes of life, which was extremely inconsistent with his eighteen-year-old youthful age.

Eighteen years old, he has never stepped down from Lingyun Peak, firstly, in recent years, the world has begun to turbulent again, and there will be some changes in the Demon Dao soon, he has no skills, and he has to rely on people to protect him, and secondly, he is afraid of losing the face of the righteous path leader Tianjianmen.

"Senior brother, so you are here!" A sweet voice broke the silence, Qin Xianglan came over with a set of washed clean clothes in her hand, with a smile on her face, wearing a purple dress and a shawl, beautiful and lovely.

Xue Lingfeng glanced up at her, called Senior Sister Lan out of his mouth, and quickly turned his head to avoid her gaze.

"Look at you, your hair is messy again!" Qin Xianglan said, stretching out her white jade hand to tidy up his messy hair for Xue Lingfeng, a very familiar and natural movement, just like when she was a child, she would often comb his hair and wipe his sweat.

"Senior sister, I'm ......" Xue Lingfeng subconsciously tilted his head, avoiding Qin Xianglan's outstretched hand, and lowered his head and didn't dare to look at her, looking trembling, not knowing what to do.

Qin Xianglan frowned, bit her lip and slowly withdrew her hand that was frozen in the air, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "Senior brother, don't think too much, no matter what, I will be by your side and never leave!"

Seeing that Xue Lingfeng was still indifferent and didn't dare to look at her without answering, Qin Xianglan continued: "It's been a long time since I've seen you laugh once, it's really sad that you're like this! It's all my fault, if I hadn't dragged you to sneak away to the back mountain to play, you wouldn't have ......."

As he spoke, he thought that he was in a sad place, and his eyes were filled with tears and sobbed, which made Xue Lingfeng even more overwhelmed, so he had to hurriedly explain: "Senior sister, you know, that...... That's not your fault, and I never blame you, I ...... I was just...... Just ......"

Looking at Xue Lingfeng's stupid appearance, Qin Xianglan burst into tears and laughed, stuffed the clothes in her hand into his arms, raised her hand to tidy up his messy hair and placket, and said, "Okay, like a big girl, don't think about it, there is a senior sister in everything." Pack yourself up well, in two days it will be a 'martial arts' event that will only be held once in fifteen years, and when the heroes of the world will gather, the people of Wuji Sect and Yuqingguan will come. ”

In fact, in Qin Xianglan's heart, she always thought that she had harmed Xue Lingfeng, and it was she who had dragged him to the back mountain to happen to strayed into the cave and met the ancient demon beast Huoluan, which caused Xue Lingfeng to be invaded by the demon element.

So she cares about and loves Xue Lingfeng more than anyone else, since then, as long as she knows that he is being bullied, she will stand up for him regardless of right or wrong, and it is also with her care that Xue Lingfeng feels a little warmth and comfort in these eight years of loneliness, and lives strongly.
