The next morning, Chu Chou got up, this was the first time in so many years that he got up so late.

Wen Jiu had already gotten up, and Zhao Zhishui had gotten up before sunrise in the morning to practice swords as usual, and it had been like a day for several years.

Wen Jiu watched Zhao Zhishui practice swords for a while, praised him, and then went back to the kitchen to make some breakfast.

While eating, Wen Jiu asked with a smile.

"Little girl, how do you think your master behaved when he encountered problems along the way?"

After Zhao Zhishui swallowed the steamed bun in her mouth, she replied with a smile: "No matter what things my master handles or encounters any problems, he can do his best." ”

Wen Jiu picked up a piece of head vegetable with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, and then asked, "Then your master has come all the way, do you think he has something on his mind?"

Zhao Zhishui was silent, thought for a while and said with some pain: "My master must have something on his mind, every time he is stunned, it is when my master thinks about his heart, when that time comes, I feel that I am useless, I can't share my worries for my master, but I have to bother my master every day to show me the way forward." Master's mind has never been told to me, I know, it's because I'm still too young, and he doesn't want me to be exposed to some joys and sorrows that are not suitable for my age too early. ”

Wen Jiu smiled when he heard this, it seems that Chu Xiaozi did not accept the wrong apprentice, not to mention anything else, at least this little girl has a clear mind.

"Didn't you blame your master for not telling you what was on his mind?"

"How is that possible! Master has his own reasons for doing things, and there are many things that I don't understand, but I understand this matter. Master doesn't want to tell me, I don't blame my master, I only blame myself for not growing up quickly, blame myself for not cultivating high enough, and I have to let Master worry about it. Zhao Zhishui blinked her eyes and sighed slightly.

"It seems that Chu Xiaozi did not accept the wrong apprentice. Wen Jiu stroked his beard and looked at Zhao Zhishui's clear eyes and smiled, then his face returned to normal and asked, "If one day, I mean, if your master is gone, can you still maintain such a state of mind?"

"......" Zhao Zhishui was speechless, obviously never thinking about this question.

"How could Master not be there?" Zhao Zhishui suddenly smiled.

Wen Jiu looked at Zhao Zhishui's innocent smile, sighed slightly in his heart, but his face was still the same, and said with a smile: "That's true, Chu Xiaozi never accepts apprentices, you are his big disciple." Since this is the case, Chu Xiaozi will definitely not leave easily. ”

Zhao Zhishui nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

Then Zhao Zhishui returned to the room that Wen Jiu gave her that belonged to her forever, sat cross-legged on the bed, and began to refine the natal essence that belonged to the red sky-swallowing python that Chu Chou had injected into her body before.

Chu Chou asked her to use this spirit to rush into the sixth-grade peak realm, and she is now at the peak of the fifth-grade realm, that is to say, to use this to improve a big realm.

Zhao Zhishui started refining with peace of mind, because the master was next door, so there was no need to be nervous at all.

And this kind of thing, if you don't get nervous, even if you are nervous, it won't speed up, and it will even disturb your mood and go crazy. Therefore, Zhao Zhishui was refining slowly and effectively.

Chu Chou got up at the end of the day, and when he walked out of the house, he saw Wen Jiu sitting alone at the stone table where he had been drinking last night.

"It was a good night's sleep. Chu Chou stretched and then walked to Wen Jiu's side and sat on the stone chair.

"Are you really hiding it from her, won't you let her know the truth?" Wen Jiu looked at Chu Chou and asked.

Chu Chou tilted his head to look at Zhao Zhishui's room, and then said softly: "It's the same if you know sooner or later, it's better to let her know later, after all, this is not good news for her." I'm afraid that she will lose her Dao heart because of this. ”

"That's right, after all, she's only a teenager now, so she's too young. Wen Jiu nodded.

Chu Chou nodded and said, "I think I'll tell her in a few years, and she should be a little more understanding at that time......"

"It's better to be a monk like me who is neither high nor low, look at you, the realm is so high, and your ability is sufficient, so you have to do so many things, and you get tired when you look at it. And most of those with low strength are faltering or even struggling every day. Wen Jiu said with a smile.

Chu Chou nodded, and then immediately shook his head again: "That's right, it's not right." Because I have a high realm, I have great ability and many things, which is right. But there are many things, not necessarily tired, ordinary people have a sense of leisure, busy people have a sense of fulfillment in life, I feel that I am not tired. And those who are weak often do not live so hard, because their choices are relatively single and they can take fewer paths, so they have less trouble and fewer detours than those with higher strength. I can't say which of the two is happier or better, but for me, both are great things in life. ”

Wen Jiu smiled when he heard this, and said: "Well, it depends on what the individual thinks, just like me, when I was young, I liked to go to the end of the world with a sword, at that time, I was happy and hateful, and I felt that life should be so busy and cultivated, until I was middle-aged, I didn't know that I originally liked the feeling of being plain and leisurely, especially when I was with Amei, I felt that every skin on the whole body, inside and out, maintained absolute relaxation and comfort, that feeling, not intense or shallow, just right." ”

Wen Jiu said as he spoke, his eyes became more and more smiling, and he said with some excitement: "Yes! It's just right! Even now, I still feel that living with Amei, I feel as if there is no third person in the world, and I can still savor that dreamy and strange feeling. ”

"Chu boy, do you know? I still dream of Amei appearing every three or four days, and I still remember very clearly when I wake up, I will never forget Amei's smiling face in my life! Even if I am asked to watch it for twelve hours a day, I will only be more relished. ”

Chu Chou closed his eyes when he heard this, and said softly: "Me too...... From time to time I would dream of her, of her figure, of her smile, of her picturesque and dreamy face when she laughed, of her sad eyes......"

Wen Jiu raised his right hand, patted Chu Chou's shoulder, and said: "It's okay to meet it, although you missed it like passing by, but you are still lucky, because there are still many people in this world who are confused, and they don't even know what 'encounter' is and what 'just right' is. ”

"Huh...... Don't comfort me. Chu Chou opened his eyes and smiled slightly: "I have let go of the attachment in my heart, but I still have deep nostalgia and memories, I can't lose it, I can't forget it." ”

Wen Jiu smiled and said, "Isn't it good?"

Chu Chou nodded calmly and said slightly, "It's good." ”
