Tianxiao followed Nanchen to the Danfang, Nanchen couldn't wait to push open the door, and at first glance, he saw a middle-aged man in a dark robe sitting cross-legged on the low collapse in the middle. His eyes were closed, his face and lips were slightly pale, and he looked like a person who was cultivating cross-legged.

Nanchen froze in place, his eyes staring straight at the middle-aged man, unable to take a step.

Tianxiao looked around, there were large and small medicine bottles with labels on the shelves, and in front of the south window, there was also a stone furnace, which should be used for alchemy. However, there was a lot of ash on it, and it looked like no one had touched it.

Tianxiao said softly: "Nanchen?"

Nanchen came back to his senses and finally took a step towards the middle-aged man.

Tianxiao's heart suddenly sank, because he was already so close to this middle-aged man, and he still couldn't feel a trace of luck.

Nanchen stopped in front of the middle-aged man, his eyes filled with tears of fear. She slammed her voice and spit out two words: "Master?"

Tianxiao lowered his head and expressed his condolences to the elder of Changyuan.

Nanchen's eyelashes fluttered suddenly, and two bean-sized teardrops slid down his face. She stretched out her hand and put it under Elder Changyuan's nose.

No breathing, no reaction.

Nanchen suddenly felt that everything around her was suspended, it was too quiet, and the silence scared her.

She frowned, tears streaming uncontrollably. She quickly retracted her hand. An emaciated figure stood there, pitiful and helpless.

Tianxiao walked over, patted Nanchen's shoulder gently, and comforted, "We will see him again, just like we will see Xibao again." ”

Nanchen sobbed, his shoulders swaying up and down with his rapid breathing. She suddenly lay on Tianxiao's shoulder and cried: "Senior Brother Tianxiao, my master is gone......"

Tianxiao stiffened his body like this, he didn't know what to say, and he couldn't refuse, his two hands hung down like that, and after a long time, he raised his right hand and patted Nanchen's shoulder gently.

Tianxiao accompanied Nanchen, and in the backyard of this mansion, a stone tomb was changed, and the corpse of Elder Changyuan was put in it, which could be regarded as allowing him to have a place to return.

It was already getting dark, Tianxiao accompanied Nanchen, holding an oil lamp in his hand, and sat in front of this stone tomb.

By the candle flame, Nanchen's eyes were already a little red and swollen from crying. She spoke, her voice hoarse, but in the silence of the night, she could hear it clearly.

Nanchen said: "For as long as I can remember, I only remember that there were two people here. One is my master, and the other is my mother-in-law who was invited by my master from the mountain to dress and wash me. Because I was a girl, he felt that he couldn't take care of it, so he went down the mountain to find someone. However, he is a cultivator on the mountain, a man who makes a living by exorcising evil spirits from others and selling pills, but he wants to find a woman to help him take care of a child, and whoever believes him will regard him as an imserious person. ”

Speaking of this, Nanchen smiled bitterly and continued: "Many people under the mountain scolded him for being indecent, but he still stubbornly used the most money he could afford to hire a mother-in-law, and took care of me for five years. ”

Tianxiao nodded, all expression, he was listening carefully to Nanchen's words.

Nanchen continued: "After I became sensible, I could take care of myself, and I also learned to wash clothes, cook, and help him burn the medicine stove. He taught me how to be lucky, to attract spirits. I regard him as my master, and even more so as my father. He was very kind to me and said that he wanted to watch me get married. ”

Tianxiao said: "Yes." ”

Nanchen said: "I thought we would live an ordinary life on this mountain. He waited for me to grow up and watched me get married. I would come back to see him from time to time, and occasionally take him to my husband's house. When he is old, I will be by his side and take care of him. But it's not time yet......"

Nanchen said, turned his head, wiped his tears, hugged his knees with his hands, and shrunk into a ball.

Tianxiao asked, "Why does he want you to go to the top of the Dome Mountain?"

Nanchen thought for a while and said, "He said that being an immortal can live longer than being a mortal. He said that the world is big, and he wants me to have enough time to see the whole world. ”

Tianxiao thought to himself: Seeing the world is only one aspect, Elder Changyuan may have realized that his life is short, and he is worried that he is gone, Nanchen has nowhere to go, so it is better to let her go to the top of the Dome Mountain. Moreover, Elder Changyuan had been friends with Master before, and I believe that if Nanchen proposed his name, Master would treat her well.

Tianxiao nodded, smiled at Nanchen, and said, "Since your master has this wish, then you have to fulfill it even more." ”

Nanchen said: "Well, I will." ”

The night is slightly cool, and the deep blue night sky is dotted with stars, and a crescent moon hangs in the center.

Tianxiao lowered his head and thought: Fu Jisheng should be in a hurry.

Sure enough, it was already the end of the day. Under the fruitless persuasion of Luojiu, Luocha, Qingyi, and Bailan, Fu Jisheng was swinging in the yard alone, looking at the attic, the lights in the room were extinguished one by one, but Tianxiao hadn't returned yet, and he couldn't help but be a little angry.

Fu Jisheng said: "Stinky Tianxiao, when is it! I haven't come back yet! There is a little junior sister by my side, don't you want to come back!"

Tianxiao sat on the stone steps and fell asleep, and suddenly hit a spirit, and the first thing that came to mind was that Fu Jisheng must be scolding him.

Tianxiao turned around and saw that Nanchen had already fallen asleep looking at the pillar next to the stone steps.

The yard was quiet, late at night and cool. The light, the breeze blowing, flirting and dodging.

The rooms in this house have not been cleaned up for a long time, and they can't be occupied. Tianxiao thought for a while, let's take Nanchen Ghost Luoxian Tower.

Tianxiao walked over, squatted beside Nanchen, and called her name softly: "Nanchen, Nanchen, wake up......"

Nanchen barely opened her eyes, her eyes were full of exhaustion, and she murmured, "Senior Brother Tianxiao...... What's wrong?"

Tianxiao said: "There is no way to live here, let's go back to Luoxian Tower first, right?"

Nanchen rubbed his eyes, only to feel a burst of sourness. She looked at the stone tomb in the courtyard again, and her heart welled up with sadness.

After a long time, she nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Tianxiao helped Nanchen to get up, and just after taking two steps, Nanchen's feet were soft, and he fainted.

Fortunately, Tianxiao hugged her in time, probably because she was too sad and cried all night, and she lost her vitality.

didn't have time to think about it, Tianxiao had no choice but to pick up Nanchen and came to Luoxian Tower, the backyard.

Fu Jisheng was sitting on the swing and was distracted, suddenly yawned, looked around, there was no shadow of Tianxiao, and continued to be distracted.

Tianxiao appeared at the entrance of the corridor with Nanchen in his arms.

Tianxiao: "Why don't you rest?"

Fu Jisheng heard a familiar voice and quickly turned around. The eyes that were originally twinkling with stars were darkened when they saw the person in Tianxiao's arms.

Fu Jisheng said in a low voice: "Yes, if I had rested early, I wouldn't have seen this scene." ”

Tianxiao walked over and said, "What did you say?"
