Lin Chen raised his head and looked at the master in front of him, Yan Jingchen was as indifferent as before, the whole person stood there, the vast wind and rain could not leave any trace on him, the so-called independence of the world was nothing more than that.

The pair of masters and apprentices, who looked at each other quietly, looked at each other quietly for a moment, and then the young man took a few steps forward, straightened his waist, and said in a low voice, "Master, I have won." ”

The promise that seemed impossible back then was fulfilled in these short words.

Yan Jingchen's gaze fell on the young man in front of him, and he was silent for a moment, and said lightly: "As my only heir, I never doubted that you had this ability, but I didn't expect that your achievements were somewhat beyond my expectations, which is very good." ”

Lin Chen was stunned, it seemed that it was the first time in so many years that he had heard this dusty master praise him, he couldn't help but look at the master, but at this moment, on Yan Jingchen's seemingly calm face, there was clearly a trace of relief and indifference in the vast world.

The world is long, the four fields are silent, only the wind and rain are swaying, fluttering and sprinkling.

Once upon a time, I was excited to learn the sword and ride the wind, and once upon a time, I was the little girl who was as delicate as jade, and I didn't take a step back.

For a while, the past was like a tide, flooding my heart.

It's just that Yan Jingchen didn't pay attention to the young man's complicated thoughts at the moment, and said to himself: "The forbidden land of Shu Mountain, the sword mound and the lock demon tower are all fierce places in their own world, and the seal that has been passed down through the ages is unbreakable, and only the secret method can be opened. ”

Lin Chen came back to his senses, nodded in a daze, took out the ink jade in his arms, and said, "The disciple understands, the master also said that he wanted the disciple to enter the sword mound to practice and see if there was a chance to find a natal flying sword." ”

Yan Jingchen glanced at him lightly and said, "From ancient times to the present, those who enter the sword mound will die for a lifetime, have you become enlightened?"

After a moment of silence, Lin Chen suddenly smiled, looked directly at Yan Jingchen, and said: "When I first heard Master's name, I already had this awareness, those who hear the Tao will die at dawn and night, and those who cultivate immortals, forget life and know death, in the final analysis, it is just life and death." ”

Speaking of this, the young man looked up to the sky and looked into the distance, thousands of mountains, and the world was deep, and he smiled indifferently: "Birth and death, it seems that the disciple has been living like this all these years." ”

Yan Jingchen didn't speak, but his eyes seemed to be a little confused, as if he was tracing something - the young man's clear eyes were shining with blazing light, it seemed that many, many years ago, there was such a person, who was not afraid of life and death, and was persistent all his life.

Suddenly, Yan Jingchen's expression turned cold, stared at the young man, and said coldly: "Where did your Taoism come from?"

Lin Chen's heart jumped, only listening to Yan Jingchen's words, there seemed to be a faint anger, and after thinking about it, he understood what the master was referring to, presumably in the competition with Ning Guixie, he took the red dust with his bare hands, with Yan Jingchen's eyesight, how could he not see that his physical body already had a golden body? But in the Xuanmen, it is a taboo in the door to steal art from the master, let alone an authentic faction like Shushan.

It's just that he promised the old man, he had to have it, not to reveal the matter of Penglai, under all kinds of thoughts, the young man suddenly remembered that he met Linghui Zen Master in the Yuhang Lingyin Temple, he said that he was destined to be a person, so he passed on the profound and mysterious "Immeasurable Heavenly Prajna Maha Sutra" to himself, although this is not what he originally thought, but the old Zen master really has the grace of preaching, since he lives in seclusion in the world, extinct in the world of cultivating immortals, there must be a deep meaning, then why should he add trouble to him?

At this moment, facing Yan Jingchen, whose face was as cold as water, Lin Chen was in a dilemma - if he said it, he would betray his trust, not to say that he would betray his teacher, how could it be good?

After being silent for a long time, Lin Chen took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "Disciple is not good, please punish Master!"

"Punishment, do you know what punishment you are going to receive!" Yan Jingchen said coldly.

Lin Chen raised his head, only to see that the master's expression was indifferent, and his heart couldn't help sinking, and said: "If you are light, you will be whipped, facing the wall for three years, and you will be ...... Abolish cultivation and expel the teacher!"

"In that case, you still don't want to say it?" Yan Jingchen's cold words seemed to have a faint anger in them, which made people shudder.

At this moment, the raging wind and rain also seemed to be still.

For a long time, Lin Chen silently lowered his head and said in a low voice: "I have practiced all my life, why did I come, the disciple is worthy of my heart...... Please punish the disciples!"

As soon as the words fell, I only heard a cold snort, and then an overwhelming huge force struck him, and Lin Chen actually flew backwards with his whole body, crashing heavily from the air, and spit out a mouthful of blood with a "wow".

Two exclamations suddenly sounded, but it was Yan Ruoxue and Ming Xiaoqian, who had just seen this scene when Fang arrived.

"Lin Chen!"

Ming Xiaoqian looked at Yan Jingchen anxiously and in shock, and shouted, "Daddy, what did the junior brother do! Didn't he fulfill the promise he made back then!"

"Qian'er!"

Ming Xiaoqian was stunned, but it was Yan Ruoxue who pulled her sleeves, and when she was about to speak, she heard Yan Jingchen's face pale on the ground, and Lin Chen, who was spilled with blood, said coldly: "It's good to do it yourself!"

As he spoke, he brushed his sleeves away and never looked at the boy again.

After a while, the two of them came to their senses and hurriedly went over to help Lin Chen, but to their surprise, although the young man had blood foam on his mouth, he actually smiled when he looked at Yan Jingchen's back.

"Are you crazy or stupid, you can still laugh when you vomit blood!" Ming Xiaoqian scolded angrily and heartache when she saw his appearance.

Lin Chen shook his head, the corners of his mouth moved, but the whole person fell in the crook of her arm and fainted.

Yan Ruoxue frowned, looked at the direction in which Yan Jingchen left, and then looked at Lin Chen, stunned.

......

Forget the dust in the main pavilion.

Mingyuechan quietly brewed tea, and waited until the tea leaves spread in the hot spring water, emitting a fresh fragrance of tea, and said: "This kid is really stubborn, compared to you back then." ”

Yan Jingchen was silent, he stood with his hands in his hands, looked at Xiao Xiao Fengyu outside the window, and waited until he took the fragrant tea handed over by Ming Yuechan, Fang said lightly: "It's not a good thing that it's too rigid and easy to break." ”

Mingyuechan smiled slightly, and said: "Isn't there a master like you, Xue'er, they can't see it, don't I still know, that seems to be a heavy blow, but it is just to force Chen'er's accumulated blood out of the body, without your hand, I am afraid that even with Chen'er's current physical strength, it will take several days to recover from that competition." ”

Yan Jingchen's hand that was about to raise his glass suddenly stopped, then took a sip of tea without speaking.

Mingyuechan has long been accustomed to his temperament, and she doesn't care, but there seems to be some worry in her eyebrows, and she said: "Chen'er's current practice is extremely strange, many true laws are in the body, and there is nothing to do with each other, so the true recipe of becoming an immortal in the flesh is clearly an unfathomable, mysterious and comparable to the Buddhist true recipe of the "Great Brahma Prajna Nirvana Sutra" of Luofu Fanyin Temple, since ancient times, the two true laws of Buddhism and Taoism have never been connected, Chen'er's current situation is really worrying, I don't know if he himself knows about it. ”

Yan Jingchen put down the cup and pushed open the windowsill, and suddenly, a gust of mountain wind hit, with a cold cloud powder, blowing his long hair fluttering, at this moment, the cool rain flowers also slowly wet his clothes, but Yan Jingchen didn't seem to care.

was silent for a long time, only to hear him suddenly say indifferently: "It's okay, since he insists, then let him go...... Perhaps, this is also his original intention. ”

Mingyuechan sighed softly, stood side by side with him, looked at the sky outside the window, and after a long time, the faint words sounded in the wind and rain-

"I don't know how long it will take to rain. ”

※※※

In the evening, in the silent and dark sky, the rain does not seem to converge, and in the wind and rain, the cold rain flowers dance like demons, making people feel out of breath.

Lin Chen woke up from his slumber, the green lights in the room were flickering, and a shadow stood in front of the window, it was Senior Sister Yan Ruxue.

Hearing the movement, Yan Ruoxue smiled and said, "You're awake." ”

Lin Chen smiled, stretched his waist, and said, "Well, thanks to Master, the true yuan has recovered seventy-seven-eighty-eight." ”

Yan Ruoxue didn't seem surprised, she glanced at Lin Chen quietly, and said with a shallow smile: "Then let's go, the ancestral hall of the ancestor in the back mountain, presumably you haven't been there either." ”

Lin Chen nodded, suddenly remembered something, and said, "What about Senior Sister Ming—"

"Sister, let's go, I finally ran over secretly, and when I catch my mother, I won't be able to go to the ancestor worship ceremony!"

Before the words fell, a crisp voice came from outside the door.
