Xiaocao and Ye Jisheng worship in the hall
Jian Zhen suffered from insomnia after returning from outside the master's temple.
That night, this weak and frail body developed a high fever.
I slept in a daze until dawn, and felt the familiar drowsiness. When Fu Changhuan came over from the side hall, he saw the person lying limp on the bed and said, "You caught a cold again."
Jian Zhen buried himself in the quilt and said, "I'm sorry, Senior Brother. I can't go down the mountain with you today."
Fu Changhuan said, "It's okay. Since you are sick, just rest more. I will ask the pharmacist to take a look at you."
Jane really nodded obediently.
The pharmacist was very nervous when he was summoned to Lingshan Temple, but when he saw Jian Zhen, he knew what was going on. He felt Jian Zhen's pulse as usual, frowned, and sighed.
Fu Changhuan asked, "But what's the matter?"
The pharmacist stood up quickly, raised his hand respectfully and replied: "In reply to the Immortal Lord, Immortal Jian seems to be very anxious, and..."
Fu Changhuan asked: "What?"
The pharmacist was a little nervous. Fu Changhuan frowned and said, "Just tell me what you have to say."
See he spoke.
The pharmacist naturally did not dare to hide anything. He raised his hand and said, "My little immortal friend is too worried and has a congenitally incomplete heart meridian. He is weak. He has already entered the foundation-building stage and should be fine. However, his physique is different from that of ordinary people. He is extremely repulsive to other people's spiritual energy. Therefore, he can only slowly recuperate the next day. He really cannot work any more."
Fu Changhuan said, "I understand."
The pharmacist then breathed a sigh of relief and quickly retreated.
Jian Zhen buried her head in the bed and listened to some of it. Only when the pharmacist left did she dare to look up.
Fu Changhuan said: "I didn't want to tell you about the demon clan so early. I know you are worried, but you also have to take care of your body. I will take care of the investigation of the demon clan. You don't have to ask about it. The most important thing is to take good care of your body."
Jian Zhen nodded obediently and said, "Okay."
He also didn't dare to say that he became sick because he was worried about the demons.
If he said that, Fu Changhuan would probably kill him first.
Jane really sighed worriedly.
After taking the medicine prescribed by the pharmacist, he felt better in the evening and returned to his own small villa on Lingshan Mountain.
As soon as he entered the gate of the courtyard, he saw a figure sitting under a tree. Jian Zhen was a little uncertain at first, but the moment he saw that figure, he seemed to have the answer in his heart.
Jian Zhen said: "Ye Ji... Wu Sheng, is that you?"
The lights and candlelight in the yard swayed in the wind, lengthening people's shadows.
Ye Jisheng stood up and looked at him.
Jian Zhen walked closer in the night dew and said, "It's so late and cold outside. Why don't you go back to Beifeng? I will definitely look for you when I come back."
Ye Jisheng's figure was somewhat thin but tall and straight in the dark night. A pair of red eyes on his handsome face looked at him, like an abandoned puppy looking at its owner in the cold wind. He said, "I thought I could see you earlier when you came back."
Jane Zhen's heart softened instantly.
The young demon god was not tolerated by the three realms, heaven and earth, before he could even become a god and pass the tribulation.
Jian Zhen held his hand and said, "Your hands are so cold, let's go into the house first."
Ye Jisheng let him hold his hand and go in.
Jian Zhen took off her cloak and said, "Actually, I wanted to come back earlier, but I got sick from the wind when I was on the mountain, so I was delayed."
The lights in the room slowly lit up, and the warm yellow light reflected on the window, adding a bit of warmth to the room. Ye Jisheng had been sitting quietly in a chair beside the round table. When Jian Zhen spoke, he would nod as a response.
Jian Zhen finally reacted a little late, and he whispered, "Are you unhappy?"
Ye Jisheng shook his head and said, "I just thought that you were sick and I had no way to take care of you."
Jane really said: "This is not your fault."
Ye Jisheng looked up at him and said, "I can't even find you."
Jian Zhen had a bad feeling in his heart, because at this moment, when he looked into Ye Jisheng's eyes, he seemed to see something familiar in those calm eyes.
really.
Ye Jisheng said: "If I become stronger, can I stay by your side forever?"
Jian Zhen's heart skipped a beat. He tightened his fingers around his cloak and looked up at him. He originally wanted to refute and persuade Ye Jisheng not to think like that, but when he looked at Ye Jisheng, it was as if he saw through his soul and saw into his heart. Those red eyes were like fire and blood, and the ambition burning in them was what a natural king would have.
It is also this moment.
Jane really understands.
Ye Jisheng has never been harmless, but most of the time, he doesn't show any of it.
Jian Zhen walked over, raised his hands and gently hugged Ye Jisheng, without any words, the two young people hugged each other tightly, as if they were the only ones in the world, they hugged each other so hard, as if they were melting into each other's bodies. Jian Zhen could smell the familiar scent of Ye Jisheng between his nostrils and hear Ye Jisheng's heartbeat in his ears.
It was a long, long time, and I don’t know how much time had passed.
Jian Zhen's voice was very soft: "I don't want to be separated from you, but I don't want you to be in danger even more."
Ye Jisheng's grip tightened a little.
Jian Zhen looked up, and his fingers stroked Guo Yejisheng's cheek. A worry appeared in his always clear eyes. He said, "The current situation is not optimistic. You promise me that you must continue to hide your strength and not attract other people's attention, okay?"
When he spoke, he unconsciously sounded a little pleading.
Maybe Jian Zhen knew in her heart that Ye Jisheng was not the kind of person who was willing to hide things. He was proud and willful, so how could he bow his head so easily?
Eyes met.
Just when Jian Zhen was feeling a little nervous, Ye Jisheng finally said in a low voice: "Okay."
next day
After recovering from the high fever, Jian Zhen got some information from outside.
Senior Brother Ling Can organized all the demon slaves in Beifeng to undergo a cultivation test, and Lingshan opened up new laws, allowing the sweeping disciples to practice together with the other Lingshan disciples.
As soon as the news came out, countless people praised the immortals for their righteousness and tolerance.
Only Jian Zhen knew clearly that the reason for doing so was to be able to monitor and investigate all the demons under their noses.
Ye Jisheng came over in the afternoon.
Jian Zhen said, "I heard that Senior Brother Ling Can checked your cultivation?"
Ye Jisheng nodded and said, "Well, I suppressed some of it, and what I tested was just Qi training."
Jian Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Ye Jisheng didn't show up, there should be no danger. Although exposure was a matter of time, the longer he could be saved, the better.
but……
Is this kind of life really what Ye Jisheng wants?
Jian Zhen raised her head and asked, "Will you be unhappy if I ask you to hide your strength?"
Ye Jisheng was cooking medicine in front of a medicine stove. He fanned the fire in the stove and said, "No, this is my own choice."
Jane Zhen looked at him puzzledly.
Ye Jisheng said: "I can practice with you from now on."
In Lingshan Academy, disciples in the foundation-building stage and Qi-training stage can practice together, but the academy is different for disciples above the Jindan stage. Now, the demon clan’s cleaning disciples are allowed to attend classes together, so two people can be together.
Jian Zhen smiled and said, "Yeah, that's great. Before, we could only meet at night."
Ye Jisheng nodded and said, "Well, the most important thing is that you take the medicine on time and heal your body as soon as possible."
Jian Zhen frowned on her fair face and sighed, "I really don't want to drink such bitter medicine."
Ye Jisheng said, "I put candied fruit in it for you."
Jian Zhen rolled over on the bed and said, "It's still bitter! This time the herbs are much more bitter than last time!"
He didn't dare to act like a spoiled child in front of his senior brother, nor did he dare to argue with the pharmacist, but when facing Ye Jisheng, it was as if he subconsciously understood that Ye Jisheng would tolerate his little temper.
really.
Seeing that he was getting angry and embarrassed, Ye Jisheng took the medicine and walked over and said, "I'll give you some more candied fruit."
Jian Zhen sat up and said, "If you put too much, it will be greasy. You don't know how bitter it is."
Ye Jisheng glanced at him for a few times, and did not dislike his temper or his fussiness. Instead, he took a sip with a spoon without hesitation, and felt the bitterness. Then he mixed it again for him, and after trying it several times, he said, "It shouldn't be so bitter now."
Jian Zhen took a sip from his spoon, looked up at him and said, "Why do I still find it bitter?"
Ye Jisheng frowned slightly: "How could it be."
He took a sip of the drink with a spoon, and before he could swallow it and say anything, he saw Jian Zhen's smiling eyes. The person sitting beside the bed stood up and moved closer, kissing Ye Jisheng's lips with his gentle lips, and bitterness and sweetness spread between his lips and teeth.
Jane was truly satisfied after drinking a bowl of medicine.
Ye Jisheng's ears had turned completely red, seemingly even redder than his ruby-like eyes.
Jian Zhen's face also turned red, but he still said: "It's really not that bitter this way, you can adjust it like this next time."
Ye Jisheng's hands holding the bowl seemed to be shaking. It was a rare sight for Jian Zhen to see him looking so flustered and helpless. It seemed as if his entire body was red. He didn't know whether to agree or not, and he almost fell down when he was leaving.
Jane Zhen watched him leave with a smile.
It was not until the door was completely closed and he saw through the window that the people in the yard outside had really left that his smile slowly fell. With a slight pain in his chest, he leaned over and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The bright red blood dripping onto the ground was particularly eye-catching.
Jian Zhen clutched the quilt tightly to relieve the pain, then she lay back on the bed relaxed.
The dream he had during his nap at noon just now seemed to be vivid in his mind. It was a dream sent by the high priest. In the dream, the high priest said that if he interfered with cause and effect, he would suffer the backlash of heaven and his soul would be weakened. He was told to take care of himself and not to put himself in danger.
so……
He helped Ye Jisheng avoid this disaster and changed his original fate, so he must bear the punishment of cause and effect.
While lying on the bed, Jian Zhen looked at the ceiling of the bed with curtains, but his thoughts gradually drifted away. In a trance, while enduring the swelling pain in his heart, he suddenly wondered, is Ye Jisheng also in such pain on every full moon night?
Is this the pain of divine punishment?
If he was in so much pain because of Ye Jisheng, then for whom was Ye Jisheng's punishment?
next day
The new disciples have been in Lingshan for nearly half a year.
Lingshan's annual disciple assessment is finally here. As new disciples of the same school, Jian Zhen and Ye Jisheng are naturally on the assessment list.
Fu Changhuan stood in the center of the square. As the eldest disciple of Lingshan, he was naturally responsible for this assessment.
Everyone looked up at the person standing at the top.
Fu Changhuan was wearing a snow-white robe without a speck of dust. He opened his mouth and said, "For this assessment, you will be sent to the secret realm of Nanshan. The top of Nanshan is located at the cave that our master once left behind. Within three days, the first hundred disciples who reach the cave will be considered to have passed the assessment. Do you understand?"
Everyone responded.
This assessment seems simple, but it actually contains hidden dangers.
After all, if the assessment ranking is calculated according to the number of people, then if you defeat other disciples in the mountains, you will have enough time to find the master's cave.
All the disciples looked at each other, and there was an undercurrent of emotion.
Many of Jian Zhen's disciples were already discussing:
"We have to form a team. It's dangerous to be alone."
"Yes, yes, we need to form a team, let's do it together."
"It's too dangerous for us to go separately."
While everyone was talking, some people also set their eyes on Jian Zhen. Although Jian Zhen was the disciple of the master, and was actually a good candidate for currying favor with, he was a sickly person, and his cultivation was not very high. No one would want to have a burden around them.
Some people also came to test.
"Brother Jian, this trial doesn't look easy. Do you have any magic weapons or elixirs prepared?"
After all, Jian Zhen is the disciple of the master, and the junior brother of the eldest senior brother. He might be given some rare treasures as an exception. Then they might be able to win easily by following Jian Zhen.
But I don't want to.
Jane answered honestly, "No."
Others: “…”
Jian Zhen actually understood what they were thinking, but they didn't want to think about it. Senior Brother Fu Changhuan was a ruthless person, so how could he be given a break in such a competition?
Fu Changhuan's voice came from the front: "Everyone go back and get ready. We will set off tomorrow."
The disciples dispersed.
Just as Jian Zhen was about to leave, he heard Fu Changhuan's voice saying, "Junior brother, come here."
There was only one person on Lingshan Mountain who could be called "Junior Brother" by Fu Changhuan. Jian Zhen looked back hesitantly, and seeing that Fu Changhuan seemed to be really looking at him, he walked over obediently.
Fu Changhuan stood under a towering old tree, the sun shining through the shadow of the sun, and he said to Jian Zhen, "Are you feeling better?"
Jian Zhen said: "Much better, the fever has gone down."
Fu Changhuan took out a gourd from his waist and said, "This disciple trial is extremely dangerous. You have just recovered from a serious illness. This is the Hundred Poison Pill, which can cure all poisons."
Jian Zhen was really a little surprised: "Senior Brother?"
Fu Changhuan seemed to understand what he was going to say: "The others have been training and practicing for longer than you. You are weak, so this pill may not be of any use to you. Just take it."
The examiner personally dropped the equipment on him.
Jian Zhen was not the kind of person who would stick to his guns. He took it and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother."
Fu Changhuan nodded and said, "Well, you must do well in this test and don't embarrass Master, okay?"
Jian Zhen: “…”
Sure enough, this is the familiar senior brother.
On the day of departure from Lingshan, many disciples had already secretly discussed forming a team. Jian Zhen did not participate much. Since no one came to look for him, he was at ease.
Yun Zhou asked everyone to go to Nanshan.
Ever since boarding the Yunzhou, Jian Zhen began to subconsciously look for Ye Jisheng.
Until he saw a familiar figure at the other end of the cloud boat, Ye Jisheng was also standing among a group of disciples. But even though he was at a distance, standing among the crowd, some people seemed to be born with light, and Jian Zhen still found him almost instantly.
They are quite far apart.
Almost like telepathy, Ye Jisheng seemed to sense Jian Zhen's gaze and looked over.
Eyes met.
Jian Zhen's uneasy heart suddenly felt as if a huge stone had fallen off his chest. It was as if he subconsciously felt that no matter where he was, as long as Brother Ye Jichen was there, he would be safe.
The cloud boat finally landed on Nanshan Mountain in the afternoon.
The senior brother leading the team is Ling Can.
Ling Can said: "Okay, now everyone is ready to go into the mountain. The deadline is three days. We will be waiting for you in Master's cave in three days!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Once you enter the forest from here, everyone will be your enemy.
Therefore, the disciples who stepped into the magic circle would be teleported to different areas on the mountain. When Jian Zhen came out of the magic circle, he felt a moment of imbalance, and when he opened his eyes again, he was already in a dense forest.
The vegetation in Nanshan is still lush in winter.
Jian Zhen stood up, looked around, and walked forward. After walking for a while, he didn't meet anyone. As the sky was getting darker and the most dangerous night was about to come, he suddenly heard the sound of fighting in front of him.
"Catch him!"
"Stop and don't run!"
“Damn it!”
The river was stirred up with waves. Jian Zhen looked carefully and saw several disciples chasing a man. The man looked familiar: it was Ye Jisheng.
Jane's eyes really lit up.
Before I could even go over, I saw Ye Jisheng leading the people to the river bend in no time, then pulling the person off the flying sword and stepping him into the water. His series of movements were clean and quick, and his face was expressionless.
“Crash!”
The water splashed high.
Two or three disciples were thrown into the water, and one of them was stepped on the head by Ye Jisheng and gulped down water.
The disciple cursed: "You lowly creature from the demon clan, how dare you... Gululu... How dare you step on me... Gululu..."
Jian Zhen was just watching from behind, but suddenly he noticed that there was a disciple lying in ambush in the bushes not far away, holding a silver hidden weapon dart in his hand, pointing it at Ye Jisheng's back.
"careful!"
Jane rushed out without even having time to think.
The disciple in the bushes found himself exposed and threw the dart in his hand over. Jian Zhen used his lightness skill to float on the water. His sword just blocked the dart, which was about to stab his arm. Ye Jisheng pulled him over and barely avoided it.
The man in the bushes wanted to run away after seeing that his sneak attack failed.
Jian Zhen saw a cold look in Ye Jisheng's eyes. After a while, she heard the contestant's screams from behind the bushes and he fainted.
Jane really sighed softly.
Poor child, why did you bother him?
Before he could finish his thought, he saw Ye Jisheng coming back, his brows still slightly furrowed. Jian Zhen said, "There are quite a few people here. We need to find a place to hide first, otherwise it will be bad if more people come later."
Ye Jisheng nodded.
It was now dark. The two men shuttled through the forest, and finally, when the last ray of light was about to disappear, they found a dilapidated temple in the forest and hid inside. The temple must have been very dilapidated, and the statues inside were covered in dust.
Ye Jisheng found a wooden board to block the door.
Jian Zhen finally sat down on the ground and he breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally I can take a break."
It was quiet inside the temple.
Jian Zhen finally realized something was wrong. She looked up at Ye Jisheng, only to find that he hadn't spoken a word. She asked with a guilty conscience, "What's wrong with you?"
Ye Jisheng said: "The dart of that person is poisonous. If it really hurts you, your life may be in danger."
Jian Zhen originally wanted to laugh it off, but when he saw the clear worry in Ye Jisheng's eyes, the joke on his lips could no longer be said. He said softly, "It's okay, I know what's going on, and I also brought some antidote pills."
Ye Jisheng still looked at him calmly, his red eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. He said, "You didn't think about these when you rushed over."
You would have come even without the elixir.
Jian was really right. He felt a little guilty and said as he stood on the shore, "I don't have time to think."
Ye Jisheng came over and checked his arm again, then he finally lowered his eyes. He didn't say anything, but Jian Zhen was a little flustered. He asked, "Are you angry?"
Ye Jisheng shook his head slowly.
“I was just thinking,” he said, “if you get hurt, I’m going to kill them.”
His words were light.
But it was filled with an endless murderous aura, and although it was said lightly, Jian Zhen did not doubt the truth of it at all.
Ye Jisheng raised his eyes and looked at him: "So don't get hurt, protect yourself. If anything happens to you, I don't know what I will do."
His red eyes were as red as flames burning with karmic fire.
Jian Zhen's heart tightened. He held Ye Jisheng's hand tightly and said, "I'm fine, don't worry."
Ye Jisheng finally nodded slightly. In order to divert attention, Jian Zhen asked in the moonlight, "What temple is this?"
This temple is very dilapidated, but one can still see its former glory. The statues in the temple are covered with dust, and it is difficult to see their appearance, but Ye Jisheng can still see them.
Ye Jisheng said: "Nanshan is located near the demon clan's territory. This temple should be the statue of the demon clan's Buddha Mother. She is the demon clan's god in charge of marriage. The demon clan will come here to seek marriage when they are unmarried, and will also come to worship the Buddha Mother when they are married."
Jian Zhen's eyes lit up, and he said, "We actually met each other, what a fate."
Ye Jisheng nodded.
Silence returned to the temple. A mountain breeze blew over. Jian Zhen was already weak after running just now, so he covered his lips and started coughing. His body and back were shaking, as if he was going to cough out his lungs.
Ye Jisheng stood up and gathered the wooden boards around him and started a fire.
Jane Zhen was curious: "How did you light the fire?"
Ye Jisheng raised his hand, and a small flame appeared on his finger. He said, "This is the soul fire I cultivated."
In the darkness of the night, Jian Zhen looked at the fire in Ye Jisheng's hand. The flame seemed to be engraved in his eyes. This was the soul fire that would be famous in the three realms for its extremely powerful lethality in the future, but it was still so immature now.
Ye Jisheng asked, "Is it warmer this way?"
Jian Zhen nodded gently, and said a little embarrassedly: "I am too weak, I just got a cold, I feel much better now."
Ye Jisheng lit the fire and said, "You sit inside. The wind is quiet. Go inside and take a rest. I will roast something for you."
Jian Zhen was surprised to see that he actually took out a lot of small hunting animals from his Qiankun bag.
Ye Jisheng said: "These are all caught during the day. We demons live in the Chibei area and make a living by hunting. I don't know if you are used to eating these things."
How could Jian Zhen be picky? He said, "It's good to eat something I'm used to. I thought I was going to be hungry tonight!"
Ye Jisheng said as he expertly processed the prey's fur: "I won't let you go hungry while I'm here."
The fire was burning in the wood, reflecting his profile. His cold and handsome eyebrows looked particularly serious and handsome.
Jian Zhen looked at him, and his thoughts drifted away. He knew that it was impossible for him to really live today tens of millions of years ago. His separation from Ye Jisheng was inevitable. Not to mention that his soul could not hold on, there were people waiting for him tens of millions of years later. His children were waiting for him, and another person was also waiting for him.
He will die sooner or later.
Jian Zhen looked at the person not far away. What would Ye Jisheng do at that time? How would he survive the remaining 10 million years?
After a while.
Ye Jisheng handed him a skewer of roasted chicken and said, "Try it."
Jian Zhen took it, took a bite and said, "Delicious!"
Ye Jisheng curled his lips and said, "Then I'll roast some more for you."
"No, no, this is enough to eat." Jian Zhen said with a smile: "You are really good at baking. With this skill, you will have no trouble finding a wife in the future. It's good to learn these now. It's really good to have more skills!"
Xiaocao has made a good calculation.
You should praise him more so that you and your son can have more delicious food in the future.
Ye Jisheng's ears suddenly turned red. He looked at Jian Zhen, lowered his eyes and said, "It's still early. No rush."
Jian Zhen met his eyes and saw the light in Ye Jisheng's eyes, which was the expectation for the future. It was indeed still early, but Jian Zhen understood that he didn't have much time left.
The wind blew into the temple, and the statues in the hall looked tall and compassionate in the firelight.
Jian Zhen put down the meat in her hand and said softly, "Shall we worship the Buddha Mother?"
Ye Jisheng was a little surprised: "What?"
"Didn't you say that you demons worship heaven and earth, and worship the Buddha Mother when you get married?" Jian Zhen took Ye Jisheng's hand and said, "Since we just happened to meet today, how about we worship the Buddha Mother?"
He didn't know what this sentence meant to a demon.
Ye Jisheng said subconsciously: "No... This is too hasty..."
He wanted to give Jian Zhen a better, taller palace and a grander ceremony, instead of being in such a miserable and destitute state like himself.
Jian Zhen said, "It's not hasty."
Ye Jisheng looked at him with some surprise, and Jian Zhen said, "I only have one you, and you only have one me. I have already thought about it, and I will never regret it. It is my wish to worship the Buddha Mother with you, and I will never change it in the future. Are you willing to worship with me?"
The wind blew into the dilapidated temple, and the passage of time turned the temple into ruins, leaving only the tall statues standing tall.
In the mess all over the ground.
Ye Jisheng tightly grasped the hand of the person in front of him, as if this was a promise that would last forever.
Thanks for your support~!
