Zhangsun Zijun and Yi Xichen are the protagonists of the novel 《The Chronicles of the Nine Thousand Worlds Vicissitudes》. One was solid and reserved; the other was free-spirited and uninhibited...
Yi Xichen thought: So this Teng Ruoyi is the elder sister of the eldest grandson Jun. He thought that this girl would become the inner demon of the eldest grandson Jun, and that she might not be a good person, but he did not expect that she was such an innocent girl. Looking at this girl's eyes, he knew that she was pure and kind. How could such a girl become the inner demon of the eldest grandson Jun? What happened later?
Yi Xichen looked down impatiently.
The eldest grandson, Jun, stayed in the mountains. With him as a companion, Teng Ruoyi would practice sword with him every day.
The eldest grandson, Zijun, wanted to keep the secret, so he gave in to Teng Ruoyi every time.
After Teng Ruoyi defeated him several times, he began to worry about him: "Brother Zijun, you are so weak, will Lingxiao Sect accept you?"
The eldest grandson, Zijun, didn't know how to explain it, so he could only perfunctorily say, "Let's give it a try."
Teng Ruoyi acted like a little adult and patted his shoulder: "Don't worry, even if Lingxiao Sect refuses to accept you, you can come back and my father will teach you how to practice swordsmanship!"
The eldest grandson Zijun also practiced on weekdays, but he did not dare to expose his cultivation in front of Teng Ruoyi, so he could only hide and practice secretly. Sometimes, as soon as he sensed Teng Ruoyi approaching, he would immediately stop practicing.
As time went by, Teng Ruoyi also realized that something was wrong.
After defeating her eldest grandson, Zijun, once again, she asked suspiciously, "Why do you always lose to me with this trick? Are you letting me win on purpose?"
The eldest grandson, Zijun, was stunned. He was not good at lying, so he could only keep silent.
After a while, Teng Ruoyi said to herself, "No, no, no, it must be because you don't practice well, so you haven't made any progress in a month! You can't be so lazy! Otherwise, why would Lingxiao Sect accept you?"
"Hmm."
Teng Ruoyi sat down next to her eldest grandson Zijun and looked up at the blue sky outside the mountain. After a while, she asked, "Brother Zijun, why do you want to join the Lingxiao Sect? Is the Lingxiao Sect very powerful?"
Although Teng Ruoyi lived in the mountains, she was not completely isolated from the world. Five miles down the mountain, there was a town of cultivation. She would sometimes go to the town with her parents to buy things, so she had heard about some of the deeds of the big sects outside.
The eldest grandson, Zijun, didn't know what to say. He was still young, and had been trying to cultivate himself by himself. Because he was extremely talented, things were going well for him. He just heard that one could improve faster if he entered a big sect, and he also heard that the nearby Lingxiao Sect was about to accept disciples, so he decided to go there, no problem.
Teng Ruoyi continued to talk to herself, "I heard from outsiders that there are many powerful people in the big sects, maybe... more powerful than my father! But my father said that there are many people in the big sects, some good and some bad, and if you meet a bad person, they will bully you, so he told me not to go there and just follow my father to practice, which is much happier than going to a big sect." She turned her head to look at her eldest grandson Jun and worriedly said, "What if those bad people bully you?"
The eldest grandson, Zijun, said, "No."
"Why not..." Teng Ruoyi whispered. She lay down on the hillside, no longer talking, and seemed to be thinking about something.
A few days later, when the eldest grandson Jun had just gotten up, Teng Ruoyi rushed in, grabbed his hand and ran out in a hurry: "Dad and mom are out shopping today, I'll take you down the mountain to play!"
Teng Ruoyi was still a child at heart. She felt bored staying in the mountains all day, so she would often sneak down the mountain to play whenever Teng Tie and Yuan Ying were not around. That day, she had sneaked out of the mountain to pick up her eldest grandson Jun at the foot of the mountain.
Teng Ruoyi brought her eldest grandson Zijun down the mountain and ran all the way to the cultivation town: "Brother Zijun, I'll take you to a nearby town. There are many people there, and there are many fun things!"
The two entered the town, which was bustling with people. Everything they saw was new to them, and they looked around and strolled around.
Teng Ruoyi was lively by nature. When she arrived at a busy and bustling place, she was like a fish returning to a pond, running around happily. She almost left her eldest grandson Jun behind several times, but then she remembered that she had a younger brother with her, so she turned back to look for him.
When she arrived at the market, Teng Ruoyi saw a group of people gathered around a stall with a carousel. She wanted to join in the fun, so she squeezed into the crowd.
The eldest grandson, Zijun, didn't like to join in the hustle and bustle. Seeing that Teng Ruoyi would not leave the crowd for a while, he just watched from a nearby stall.
Suddenly, he felt someone watching him. He looked up and saw a man in black standing at the corner in front of him. The man had an ordinary appearance, but his eyes were completely black, without any white in them!!
Yi Xichen was shocked: It was the devil who lent Qiao Jue the power of inner demon!!!
However, the eldest grandson Jun didn't know the man's background at this time. When he saw the man looking at him, he met his gaze. The man looked at him with interest and didn't avoid his gaze at all. However, the eldest grandson Jun felt that the man's dark eyes looked very uncomfortable, so he quickly withdrew his gaze.
Not long after, several teenagers were playing and fighting in the market. The one leading them ran while looking back. Because he didn't look at the road ahead, he suddenly bumped into the eldest grandson Jun! The eldest grandson Jun's chassis was very stable, and he was only slightly retreated by the collision, while the teenager was bounced back and fell heavily to the ground!
The eldest grandson frowned, stepped forward to help the boy up, and prepared to listen to the boy's apology. Unexpectedly, the boy was extremely arrogant and grabbed his collar: "How dare you bump into me?!"
The eldest grandson, Zijun, was unhappy and said coldly, "Let go."
But the boy didn't let go: "You bumped into me, why don't you apologize now!"
"You hit me."
"Ha! Where did you come from, you wild boy! Do you know who my father is?!"
The young man's companions also gathered together and surrounded the eldest grandson Jun.
The young man jumped up and said viciously: "I will teach you a lesson today!"
There was really nothing to say about this kind of person. The eldest grandson, Zijun, was about to draw his sword when he heard Teng Ruoyi shout, "Zijun!"
He hesitated for a moment and did not draw his sword. The arrogant young man kicked him in the chest, forcing him to take two steps back.
"What are you doing!!" Teng Ruoyi shouted angrily, rushed over to block his eldest grandson Zijun, and drew his sword, "How dare you bully my brother? I will fight you!"
"Tsk! There's actually a wild girl here!"
Those young men drew their swords and attacked the two men!
No matter how arrogant these guys were, they were still just teenagers who had just entered the martial arts world, and their spiritual power was not very deep. Teng Ruoyi took advantage of his physical training and did not compete with spiritual power, but only with his physical skills, so he could barely fight two or three of them alone. The eldest grandson Jun could have fought all these bad boys by himself, but he had been weak in front of Teng Ruoyi for so long that he did not dare to use his full strength. He could only help from the side and fight off all the boys who tried to attack Teng Ruoyi from behind.
Fortunately, there were many people at the market, and the adults would not sit idly by and watch a few kids making trouble, and soon someone jumped out and separated the group of teenagers.
"Stop making trouble here, go home!" the stall owner whose business was affected threatened, "I don't care who your father or master is, if you make trouble again, I will arrest you all!"
Several young men glared at their eldest grandson Jun and Teng Ruoyi, and the leader spat, "Just wait and see! Brothers, let's go!"
After the young thugs left, Teng Ruoyi turned around to check if his eldest grandson Jun was injured. Jun was kicked in the chest by the young thug. Although he was not seriously injured, there was a big footprint on his chest, which was very disturbing.
Teng Ruoyi was anxious and distressed: "Oh, you are injured again, it's all my fault for not following you all the time. Let's not walk around anymore, I'll carry you back to the mountain!"
The eldest grandson, Zijun, said, "No problem."
"How can it be harmless?"
Teng Ruoyi insisted on carrying her eldest grandson Jun, but he refused to let her carry him. After a few steps, it seemed that there was no problem. Teng Ruoyi had to give up, stepped forward, helped up his eldest grandson Jun, and led him back.
"What would you do if I didn't protect you?"
The eldest grandson Jun looked at the girl's self-blaming expression. He suddenly felt uneasy, wondering if he had done something wrong. But what should he do?
That night, the eldest grandson, Jun, was sleeping, but suddenly woke up in the middle of the night. He felt a cold hand touching him, and that hand exuded a disgusting breath that was infusing into his body, but he rejected it.
He suddenly opened his eyes, and the surroundings were dim. A gust of wind blew, the shadows of the trees outside the window swayed, and the moonlight sprinkled through. He saw a pair of dark eyes and a disgusting smiling face.
"Who?!" The eldest grandson, Zijun, immediately drew his sword!
The shadow of the tree swayed again, and the person beside the bed disappeared.
The eldest grandson, Zijun, quickly chanted a fire spell, lighting up the surroundings. The small house was empty, with no one else in it except him.
He thought: Is this an illusion?
Yi Xichen's heart was completely hanging. No! This is not an illusion! Could it be that the inner demon of his eldest grandson Zijun was planted at this time? No, that's not right, not yet. Now he doesn't feel any discomfort. His heart is clear. If he is possessed by an inner demon, this won't happen!
The door was pushed open and Teng Tie rushed in: "What's wrong? What happened? I heard you shouting!"
The eldest grandson, Zijun, rubbed his brows and said, "Uncle, did you see anyone just now?"
"People?" Teng Tie was bewildered. "I didn't see any. I couldn't sleep tonight, so I was meditating outside. I heard you calling and came over. Did you have a nightmare?"
"Maybe..." The eldest grandson Jun lay down again.
Teng Tie went forward to cover him with the quilt and gently stroked his hair: "Go to bed early."
The night was dark again. The eldest grandson Jun gradually fell asleep, but Yi Xichen was confused. He carefully recalled the feeling just now. The demon clearly wanted to do something to the eldest grandson Jun, but was repelled by the energy in the eldest grandson Jun's body. Did he want to plant the inner demon but failed? What about that disgusting smile?
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of spring, and the eldest grandson Zijun was going down the mountain. He had said long ago that he was going to Lingxiao Sect to become a disciple, and although the three members of the Teng family were reluctant to let him go, they couldn't force him to stay. On the day he left, Teng Tie and Yuan Ying personally saw him off the mountain, but Teng Ruoyi just looked at him reluctantly at the door, stomped her feet, and went back to the house.
After leaving the mountain, he bid farewell to Teng Tie and Yuan Ying and set out for Lingxiao Mountain alone.
At this time, he was still not very stable in holding the sword, and after walking for three days, he finally arrived at the foot of Lingxiao Mountain. There were many young men of his age at the foot of Lingxiao Mountain, all of whom came to learn from a master.
He was about to go up the mountain when someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder. He turned around and was shocked: "Sister?!"
Teng Ruoyi smiled and said proudly: "Brother Zijun, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here."
The eldest grandson, Zijun: "..."
"Why are you here?" the eldest grandson, Zijun, asked anxiously, "Where are Uncle Teng and Aunt Yuan?"
Teng Ruoyi gestured to him in a low voice: "Don't shout, don't shout. I left a note for my parents to tell them that I'm out. People say that the big sects are powerful, and I want to know how powerful the people in the big sects are. After training in this big sect for ten years, I can go out to gain experience. After I learn some skills, I can go back to my parents."
"Let's talk about it later!" Teng Ruoyi hugged his shoulders, "I'm worried about you! You're so weak, I have to protect you all the time!"
The uneasiness that had been hidden in the eldest grandson Zijun's heart became even more intense at this moment. He finally couldn't help but said, "Actually, I..."
"Let's go up the mountain!" Teng Ruoyi didn't listen to what he said, "Oh, there are so many people, are they all here to seek the truth? It turns out that there are really so many people in the big sects!"
She stared around with curiosity, but the smile on her face was extremely bright and she was in a very good mood.
The eldest grandson, Zijun, understood in his heart. Teng Tie and Yuan Ying protected Teng Ruoyi very well, but in fact, Teng Ruoyi had always longed for the outside world. His appearance became Teng Ruoyi's protective umbrella to fly to the outside world. Is this a good or bad thing...
