Chapter Forty-Eight: The Boundless Night
The palms are facing each other, and the temperature of each other is transmitted in the palms of the hands. Yinji hurriedly retracted his palm, looking at the person in front of him who he missed but twilight didn't dare to see, and finally said the words of Ai Ai: "Spirit...... Division...... Senior sister, why are you here?"
Mr. Mao was wearing a mask, so that people couldn't see his emotions, but there was a smile in his words: "I came to look for you with my third brother, and you made such a big battle, can you still find it?"
"Big brother, they are ...... now Where?" Yin Er was stunned for a long time, and once again held back a sentence.
"I told them all to stay by the little girl's side. Mr. Mao only said half of the sentence, and the remaining half of the sentence was "I just came to meet you alone."
Yin Er understood, his old face was slightly red, and he hesitated for a while, and finally remembered the bald head that was shining on the side, and quickly changed the topic: "Don't stop me, let me kill this beast first." ”
Mr. Mao refused to let go: "He has been poisoned by your bones, and he won't survive tonight." Senior brother, why do you have to shoot again and again, only to increase your murderous intentions. ”
Yin Er couldn't resist his junior sister in the end, so he had to give up: "And let him live a few more hours, it's cheaper for this beast." When Liao Yan heard this, he dared to stay here any longer, so he got up and slipped into the mountains and forests.
Seeing that there was finally no third party, Mr. Mao had no scruples when he spoke, and looked directly into Yin Er's eyes and said, "I haven't seen you for so many years, so senior brother has nothing to say to me?"
Yin Er looked at the clear eyes behind the mask, and his gaze began to dodge: "You are talking with a mask, I am not used to it." But as soon as the words came out, I regretted it, "Forget it." I also know the rules of your Heaven and Earth Pavilion, and you can't take off this mask in front of anyone after putting it on......" As he was talking, Mr. Mao had already taken off the mask with his bare hands, and his smile was opposite to Yin'er: "The rules are dead, senior brother wants to see my old face, how can Ling'er not follow it?" A peerless face is like a snow lotus blooming after a thousand years of ice and snow, and the person who has been thinking about it for a long time finally came out of the painting.
Yinji was stunned, and he couldn't take his eyes off this familiar smiling face anymore, but when he looked closely, he saw that her face was the same as yesterday, but her temples were dyed with frost and snow, and there were traces of time in the corners of her eyes. Yin Er was stunned, and hurriedly took out the Qiankun bag and rummaged through: "I have Zhuyan Dan here...... There is also the Rejuvenation Pill. Mr. Mao raised his hand to stop him, and said with a chuckle: "Senior brother, don't you think Ling'er looks bad when she is old?"
"It's not...... No, Ling'er is still as good-looking as before!" Yin Er was in a hurry, and he spoke like a stunned teenager, which made Mr. Mao sneer. Yin Er came to his senses at this time, and with his junior sister's medical Dao, how could he not be able to refine the elixir of the anti-face.
"A man dies for a confidant, and a woman is a person who pleases herself. Senior brother has a confidant for whom he can give up his life and forget about death, but Ling'er does not have a partner who can show his face, what is the point of retaining the skin of youth?" Mr. Mao said lightly, unable to hear the joy and sorrow, but the air between the two was filled with a thick melancholy. The eyes looked at each other, and they were speechless for a long time, and the silence locked the afterglow of the slanting sun, and the whispering of the evening breeze on their faces.
......
Tong Laosan carefully hugged Li Yao onto the flying boat with his big hands like a fan, as if holding a fragile work of art, and he didn't dare to breathe for a while, and waited until Li Yao's thin body was put on the bed, and then he breathed a sigh of relief: "My little family is really pitiful." It's all because I didn't follow all the time, so she was so badly injured......" while blaming himself, he paced around again, "Why haven't you woken up yet?"
Xi Lao Wu looked at it and shook his head: "Third brother, you can stop for a while, since the second brother has already treated her, it is no big deal." You let this girl sleep for a while, and when she wakes up, she might be all right. "Previously, Xi Lao Wu had already known the ins and outs of the matter from the mouths of Di Qi Xing and Di Thief Xing, and he was already impressed by Li Yao.
"Don't mention the second guy, I get angry when I mention him. If he hadn't stopped me from coming, maybe Xiao Xiaoxiao wouldn't have been injured. As soon as Tong Laosan thought of what had happened before, he began to exacerbate again. Xi Lao Wu was not easy to dismantle him, thinking that if you came to Li Yao alone with your chaotic divine sense, I am afraid that when you find it, her grave grass will be three feet high.
Boss Jin didn't have much interest in Li Yao, he was too lazy to even get off the boat before, and he was lying on the chair on the deck napping at the moment. Hearing the footsteps on the boat, he barely raised his eyelids, and when he saw that it was Yin Lao Er who was back, he asked, "Why did you come back so soon, Ling'er's girl?"
She went back. Yinji replied expressionlessly and went straight back to his room. The sunset set into the horizon, and Boss Jin howled: "Old Five, it's time to start the boat!"
On the battlefield that was already lifeless, the flying boat rose into the clouds and sailed into the northern night.
......
In the Shouyuan Sect Mountain, the head of the house, Zhou Jianye, sat alone in the main hall, the lights were flickering, and the flickering candle shadows were reflected on his deep face like water. A young man hurriedly came in from outside the hall: "Master, are you calling me here so late, is there something urgent?"
Seeing the arrival of the disciple, Master Zhou finally squeezed out a kind smile and beckoned to the young man: "Tian'er, come here." "This young man is Li Tian, who has just entered the Shouyuan Sect, and at this time he has changed into the clothes of a disciple of the Shouyuan Sect and has just completed a day's introductory cultivation.
Li Tian obediently came to Zhou Jianye's side and stood still, and respectfully called out to Master.
"There are no outsiders here, you should call me my father-in-law. Zhou Jianye said to Li Tian with a pleasant face.
"Yes, Master. Li Tianxiao's face was slightly red, obviously still in the excitement of the first day of cultivation.
Zhou Jianye didn't get straight to the point, and asked about Li Tian's situation with concern: "Is the introductory cultivation still going well?"
"The teachers and brothers who taught the class treated me very well, and I also learned all the lessons to get started. Before Master called me over, I was meditating in my room to consolidate my practice for the day. ”
"That's very good. You have to keep this in mind, and you must not be discouraged and abandon your cultivation just because you have become my personal disciple. ”
Li Tian bowed and clenched his fists: "Disciple, remember the master's teachings. ”
"In the future, you don't have to be so restrained in front of your father-in-law. After Zhou Jianye said this, the words changed, "Tian'er, my father-in-law has something to ask you, you have to tell me truthfully." ”
Li Tian said "um", and stood aside, waiting for the master to ask questions.
"Li Yao. After Zhou Jianye mentioned this name, he paused, looked directly into Li Tian's eyes and said, "It's your sister, right?"
"Ah!" Li Tian was stunned, he didn't expect the master to suddenly mention this, "Yes...... We don't mean to deceive the teacher. It's just that my sister likes to dress up as a boy since she was a child, so ......"
"Then do you know that your sister is the Flying Yaksha who is making trouble in the coastal states?" Zhou Jianye's expression suddenly became serious, and a coercion was released, and sweat trickled down Li Tian's forehead; "No, I don't know. ”
"I really don't know, you get along day and night, how can you not know?" Zhou Jianye stood up, patted Li Tian on the shoulder and said, "Tian'er, my father-in-law has no queen, and I accepted you as a disciple and recognized you as my son, just to pass on the mantle to you." You and I are not only a master and apprentice, but also a father and son, don't lie to your father-in-law, chill your father's heart. ”
"The disciple really doesn't know. My sister has taken me everywhere for medical treatment over the years, and I have indeed spent time in all the coastal states, but we have never done anything bad. I've always had limited mobility, I don't know anything about the rivers and lakes, and I haven't heard of any flying yakshas. Li Tian stabilized his mind and talked eloquently, but he scolded himself in his heart: Li Tian, Li Tian, how can you start to learn to lie!
Zhou Jianye had been looking at him intently, and when he saw that his words were sincere, it didn't look like he was lying, so he sighed: "Hey, Elder Wang was assassinated last night, and everyone suspected that it was the Flying Yaksha. Now it's rumored that Li Yao is the Flying Yaksha, how is this good?"
When Li Tian heard this, he immediately became anxious: "Impossible! My sister has been drinking with me on the Yingxian Tower last night, it can't be her! Besides, her cultivation is lower than mine, how can she kill Elder Wang?"
"You were together last night, and it was clear to you as a teacher, but do other people believe it? You said that her cultivation was lower than yours, but she clearly hid her cultivation, and today she killed nine disciples of Elder Gong's sect alone, two of which were the teachings of the peak cultivation of the Xuan Realm. ”
"Huh?" Li Tian couldn't imagine that such a big thing had happened just a day after they were separated, he couldn't believe his ears, and he was worried about his sister's safety, and asked eagerly: "Then where is my sister now, is she injured? No, I have to go to her!" Zhou Jianye just shook his head: "Tian'er, don't say it's you, even if you go out for the teacher now, you can't find her." But don't worry, she should be fine. ”
Zhou Jianye stabilized Li Tian, and then said slowly: "Early this morning, Gong Shoucheng and Guo Xingshi's brothers went out to find medicine for Gong Changqing, who was injured by your sister, but they didn't think about it, but they bumped into Li Yao outside the city......"
When Li Tian heard this, he became anxious again: "Why did so many people run out of the city together in search of medicine?
"Don't worry, Elder Gong came back and said this, and he didn't believe it as a teacher, but it's also true that your sister killed them all. "Zhou Jianye sorted out his thoughts, even he couldn't believe that a twelve-year-old little girl was the famous Flying Yaksha who had become famous recently, and it was really unbelievable that she could still get away with her whole body by killing a group of masters," Elder Gong saw that his disciples did not return in the afternoon, so he went out to search, but only found nine corpses, and when he pursued it all the way, it happened that Li Yao was surrounded by the Qi army, so he worked together to capture her. ”
When Li Tian heard that his sister was arrested, he didn't have to see it with his own eyes, he could imagine the sinister situation at that time, and he didn't feel that tears were about to flow. I heard Zhou Jianye say again: "Elder Gong originally wanted to capture Li Yao back and ask for clarification, but he suddenly killed a Heavenly Realm powerhouse. It was also thanks to Elder Gong's quick opportunity that he escaped alive. ”
"What happened later, where did my sister go later?" Li Tian was still not at ease, and wanted to ask about his sister's whereabouts.
"What happened after that, even Elder Gong didn't know. That Heavenly Realm powerhouse has an extraordinary relationship with your sister, so I think he has already taken your sister away and flew away. After Zhou Jianye said these words, he asked Li Tian: "Have you heard your sister say that she worshipped someone as a teacher?"
Li Tian knew that his sister was okay at this moment, and he was finally relieved, but he couldn't help but be depressed when he thought that his sister had not heard from him since then. Hearing Master's question, he just shook his head in a trance.
Seeing this, Zhou Jianye knew that he would never be able to ask for any useful information, so he sighed and said: "Although the person was killed by your sister and has nothing to do with you, you are sisters and brothers after all, and others will inevitably transfer their hatred to you." In particular, Elder Gong and his family have already regarded you as a thorn in their side, and just now they forced the teacher to hand you over to them for interrogation, and the master relied on the authority of the head of the sect to suppress this matter. In addition, with the death of Elder Wang, your sister's suspicion cannot be cleared up for the time being, and many of his disciples will definitely embarrass you everywhere after knowing your sister's identity. There is also Guo Xing, who was killed by your sister, his brother Guo Sheng is the eldest disciple under Elder Wu, and he is in retreat to break through the realm, and when he is out of the customs, he will naturally avenge his brother. ”
"Master, the disciple doesn't want you to be embarrassed. Tomorrow I will leave the Shouyuan faction......" Li Tian had already made up his mind to pursue his sister, but he was angrily reprimanded by Zhou Jianye: "Criminal! Since you have joined my Shouyuan faction and am my Zhou Jianye's personal disciple, how can you say that you can leave? If you really want to be good for your sister, you can stay in the mountains and cultivate hard, and when you become strong in the future, you can protect her." Your ability is low now, let alone finding her, even if you protect yourself, you can't do it, and if you go out now, there is only a dead end!"
Li Tian's heart was already a mess, and he really couldn't think of what to do in the future, seeing that the master was angry, he didn't dare to mention the matter of abandoning the mountain gate again. Zhou Jianye's expression eased slightly, and patted Li Tian on the back: "Tian'er, don't worry, even if it is a big thing, my father will carry it for you." However, the news will spread tomorrow, and the whole Shouyuan faction will regard your sister as a mortal enemy, and there will be many people who will target you at that time, and your father will not be able to follow you all the time to protect you. That's why I've decided that from tomorrow onwards, I'll let you live in the courtyard of my father's house, and I'll guide you in all your spiritual pursuits. Don't go out lightly until you break through the terrain to avoid accidents. ”
When he came out of the main hall, Li Tian was still preoccupied, looked at the first quarter of the moon, and whispered: "Sister, you must be good, waiting for me to come to you." ”
