Night, still.

Month, still.

Everywhere, there were all kinds of insect chirps.

The wind, blowing gently, the wind of July, blowing on the people's body, there is a faint chill.

The sky, countless stars.

The Big Dipper is exceptionally bright. It seems, showing off its own light, and it seems, what is it celebrating.

The man, holding a stick and an unknown monster, looked at the sky with some resentment in his eyes, as if to say, "So the stars are not last night." ”

The monster in his arms squirmed a few times, seeming to be wailing and seemingly complaining.

He looked at it with a hint of reluctance, his hand slowly stroked its head, and then, holding it like this, he walked back to his room. It lay obediently on the bed, and a pair of eyes looked at him as he walked around the room.

Xiao Xun rummaged through the room, and finally didn't know what he found? Sitting on the bed, he seemed to understand and did not understand the monster, which made the monster scream. It wasn't until late at night that Xiao Xun slowly fell asleep.

In the early morning, the sun was warm, and the red sun slowly climbed up from the east, spreading the whole earth with its own light. It seems so selfless.

Perhaps, it was because he slept too late yesterday, early in the morning, he was pulled out of his dream by a howling cry, looking at the unknown monster he brought back last night, Xiao Xun smiled lazily, and his right hand naturally stretched out to its head, gently stroking. This time, it didn't resist, it didn't even dodge, and let Xiao Xun's hand rub against its head.

Perhaps, it is grateful to Xiao Xun for saving it, perhaps, it itself likes this caressing-like touch, or perhaps, it also thinks that this child is too pitiful.

Soon, there was the sound of people walking outside the room, and then there was a knock on the door, and then a man's voice came in: "Little junior brother, are you awake, it's time to start your homework." ”

This voice startled Xiao Xun, his state of mind at this time, like the thief, hurriedly made a mess, still didn't know what to do, finally, he picked up the monster and stuffed it under the bed, not long after arriving on this Cloud Fire Island, he didn't know the rules, for fear that no animals were allowed to be raised, especially this kind of monster that didn't know what it was called.

"Little junior brother, are you awake?" Outside, a voice sounded again.

"Yes, Second Senior Brother, I'm awake, you come in. When everything was done, he shouted outside.

The sound of the door being pushed, the sound of footsteps. Shu Ming walked in, looked at Xiao Xun who was standing, paused for a moment, and then said: "Get ready, it's time to start practicing swords, if Master and his old man see that you are late, they will be unhappy." ”

"Okay, senior brother. Xiao Xun said, but he didn't move, his body was always blocking his bedside.

"Little junior brother, what's wrong with you? What's weird? Is there something on your mind?" of course Shu Ming saw that Xiao Xun was wrong and asked.

"No, I'm fine, I'll come out. Xiao Xun said, and it was not good to ask Shuming to leave.

"Squeak", suddenly, from behind Xiao Xun, a voice came, this sound made Xiao Xun's forehead break out in cold sweat, making Shu Ming even more strange.

"Oh, what's the sound?" asked Shu Ming, looking at Xiao Xun.

"Well, is there a voice? Why didn't I hear it?" Xiao Xun pretended not to know anything.

"Yes, right in the back. As he spoke, he walked up.

At this moment, Xiao Xun was in a hurry, and countless thoughts flew through his heart-if the senior brother knew, would he tell the master, and if the master knew, would he drive me out of the master? Soon, he calmed down and said to the cardinal: "Second senior brother, you heard it wrong! There is no sound at all." ”

But the cardinal, as if he hadn't heard what he said, began to crouch down, looking for something. At this moment, from under the bed, something sprang out, all red, almost transparent, and in a quick flash, it climbed onto Xiao Xun's shoulder.

"Huh, what is this?" Shu Ming ate it, then stood up and looked at the monster on Xiao Xun's shoulder.

"Senior brother, I was wrong, please don't tell the master if it's okay, I'll put it back as soon as I can, I, I just saw that he was too pitiful, so I brought it back. Xiao Xun said, seemingly a little scared.

"Well, put it back, why do you want to let it go back?" Shu Ming seemed to like this monster a lot, he kept looking up and down, and stretched out his hand to touch its head, and the monster screamed strangely, and a pair of eyes made a fierce look at Shu Ming.

"But, if the master knows, won't I be punished?" Xiao Xun asked with a hint of hope.

"Huh. Shu Ming suddenly laughed, looking at Xiao Xun, he seemed to know what the kid was thinking: "No, on Yunhuo Island, raising a kitten and a puppy or something, the master will not blame, and the master likes these things very much, and the little sister also raises a bunch of strange things? Seeing that this thing has a relationship with you, and it's pretty cute, you can keep it. ”

"Thank you, brother. Xiao Xun said, happily hugged the monster off his shoulder, and kept touching its head: "Senior brother, you can give it a name." ”

Shu Ming looked at this thing and said, "Since he is so destined for you, let's call it fate." As soon as Shu Ming's words were finished, the monster kept waving its front paws, as if it was very dissatisfied.

"Haha, it seems that it doesn't like the name, so you should take it. Shu Ming looked at the monster's appearance and said with a laugh.

"Well, let's call it Honghuo, okay, Xiaohuohuo?" Xiao Xun said, asking the monster in his arms. This time, the little creature screamed as loudly as he could, and seemed pleased with the name.

Shu Ming shook his head and said with a smile: "Okay, hurry up and prepare, it's time to practice swords." Disciples who have just started to practice the sword for five hours every day for five years, this is the basic kung fu, the master often teaches us that to learn the supreme true law, we must have a strong body, so every disciple of Yunhuo Sect must do such homework, you have just entered the door, it is more important, so you must do it well. ”

"Yes, senior brother, I will do it well. Xiao Xun seemed to have received an order.

Looking at Xiao Xun's determined look on his little face, Shu Ming's heart felt very gratified, practicing Taoism, in addition to qualifications, is a firm heart, this child's qualifications are obviously good, and with such a firm heart, his future achievements will definitely be limitless. "In the evening, Senior Brother and I will first teach you some introductory Dao Methods, and you yourself should practice well, and as for the future, Master and Senior Lady will teach you higher Dao Methods. ”

At this time, Xiao Xun's heart had another fantasy, a desire, and a longing, that was the day when the master and the mother personally preached their own Taoism. He fantasized that kind of Taoism must be omnipotent.

At this time, the sky was still in the sky, and at this time, it hid in the clouds, and it seemed that it was also afraid to see the things of the world, and it could not bear to look at the people who bothered the world. Under the stratus clouds, if there is an autumn wind, it gives people bursts of coolness.

Xiao Xun, but he was sweating profusely, dancing the sword for five hours without stopping, how could his thin body bear it, but I don't know what made him so persistent.

"That's not how it's practiced. Just when Xiao Xun was sweating profusely, a woman's voice came, and the voice was like a light bell in the wind, like a warm day in winter, and a rain in summer, accompanied by the gust of autumn wind, blowing slowly and not dissipating for a long time.

A green shirt, a young woman, just like that, appeared in front of his eyes, her face, with a smile, that smile, enough to melt the ice and snow, that smile, enough to make the rivers and mountains pour out, between that smile, the entire scenery on Yunhuo Island, is so disgraceless.

He just looked at her like that, fascinated, and that look, as if it were eternal.

"Why do you look at me like that?" she asked, as if she were whispering, as if singing.

Xiao Xun didn't answer, he was stunned, he listened, like a demon, like an obsession.

Fang Lingruo quickly became unhappy, stepped forward, stretched out his onion-like fingers, held his hand, and then moved. Xiao Xun came back to his senses, looked at the woman in front of him, smelled the faint fragrance, felt the warmth from his hand, and his face suddenly turned red. His eyes were still resting on his flower-like face.

"Why are you like this, I was kind enough to teach you, why do you keep staring at me?" she seemed a little angry.

"No, senior sister, I, I'm sorry. He was stumbling, and he didn't make up a sentence for a long time.

"Look, I'll show you. Fang Lingruo said, took the sword in Xiao Xun's hand, and danced by himself, that pale green, that dancing posture, from that moment on, deeply engraved in his heart, in this life, I am afraid that he will not be able to forget.

After the dance, her body and face were all sweating, and the beads of sweat were crystal clear, like pearls, like glass, and slowly slipped off on the face like a flower. He looked at it as if it were just a moment, and then it seemed to be an eternity.

"Do you see clearly? I'll see if I practice again. She said as if she were commanding.

"Yes, Senior Sister. He replied and took the sword she had handed over.

He began to dance, according to what she taught, he seemed to be very nervous, for fear that he would dance wrong, and he could not live up to her kindness, so every move, every move, he looked so attentive. The first day, the first time, he was still wrong after all.

"It's not like that. She interrupted him, then stepped forward, took his hand again, and began to teach him. Two small figures, on this cloud and fire island, blowing a faint autumn breeze, smelling a faint autumn air, two small hands, a sword, just dancing like this, looking, it seems so harmonious and quiet.

In an instant, it was an eternity!
