Chapter 67 Chapter 67 Do you miss me, Xu Linfeng?
"Brother, your cultivation has improved significantly. You and Master had already agreed on a date for your tribulation. But suddenly, news came out that you would ascend to heaven soon."
"I don't know what he was thinking. On the day you were going through the tribulation, he sneaked out of Qingguan Sect to watch you go through the tribulation."
"It's a pity that you failed and were hit by several thunderbolts in succession. You were in danger. He took action to block the thunderbolts for you. In the process of fighting against the thunderbolts, the sword was completely destroyed and could never be repaired."
"Then you disappeared for a while. Master searched everywhere for him and brought him back to ask about the cause. He was very angry and forbade him to practice anymore. He was punished by having him spend twenty years in a solitary confinement room."
"I have only recently experienced the confinement room myself. It is bone-chillingly cold and dark. The endless darkness and coldness can wear down one's will."
"Brother's sword is broken, his Dao heart is also broken, and he can no longer ascend."
"And you...you don't know anything?"
"I still don't understand what you have done for my senior brother to deserve him to give so much for you."
......
Wei Xin ran all the way, Yun Qing's words constantly appearing in his mind.
Yeah, what have I done for him?
I just saved his life when I was young, and it was just an accident...
He opened the door, but found no one inside. He turned around and looked in other rooms.
In the main hall, Nan Huang was directing his men to take down all the flowers when he suddenly heard a hurried voice.
"Where's Yundu?!"
Nan Huang turned around and looked at him in surprise, then stuttered, "No, isn't it in your room, Master?"
Wei Xin ran out without stopping. Nan Huang saw him like this and was worried that something might have happened, so he hurriedly followed him.
I asked Dongying and Xique along the way, and they both knew the whereabouts of Xiaoyun Ferry, but they all followed us.
The group arrived at Beiou's residence, where he was having a conversation with Yunqing, but was suddenly interrupted by them.
Bei Ou glanced at Wei Xin and said in a daze, "My Lord, what happened?"
"Where is Yundu? Have you seen him?" Wei Xin asked.
"not......"
Wei Xin looked at Yun Qing again: "What about you?"
Yunqing also shook his head.
Wei Xin turned around and went out.
"My Lord..." Beiou looked at Yunqing in a daze, "Did you guys say something just now? Why is he like this?"
Yun Qing was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "Maybe I said something wrong."
Beiou: "I'll go check out the situation first. I'm a little worried."
Yun Qing: "I'll go too."
The two of them chased after him together.
Unable to find anyone anywhere, Wei Xin took out the talisman that had been untouched for a long time.
Wei Xin: Where are you?
Yundu: On the tree.
Wei Xin quickly ran to the tree at the back of the mountain and looked up at the person on the tree.
"What happened?" Yun Du saw that they had all arrived, jumped down from the tree, walked to Wei Xin, and was suddenly stunned. He touched his wet cheek and asked, "Why are you crying?"
Wei Xin raised his head, put his hands around his neck, and kissed his lips eagerly.
Yun Du pressed the back of his head, raised his eyelids and looked at the people behind him.
Several people were stunned.
Although he already knew that their relationship was unusual, seeing the Lord taking such initiative still had a strong visual impact on this subordinate.
However, at Yundu's warning look, they immediately disappeared from the spot and did not dare to disturb him any further.
Yun Du withdrew his gaze for a long time. After Wei Xin calmed down, he stepped back and asked, "What happened?"
Wei Xin raised his head and looked into his eyes: "How did you find me when I was going through the thunder tribulation?"
"I was just passing by..."
"Don't lie to me." Wei Xin said in a deep voice.
Yun Du paused, looked at his determined expression, and asked hesitantly, "Did you remember something again?"
"You didn't just pick me up when you were passing by. You came to save me on purpose and even took the thunder for me!"
Yun Du blinked, looked at his guilty expression, and smiled helplessly: "I didn't rush to save you, I just wanted to witness your ascension. I was hoping that you would succeed, but I didn't expect an accident. I saved you at that time just to repay you for saving my life."
Yun Du still remembered how he felt when he heard the news that Wei Xin was going to survive. He sneaked out just to see Wei Xin for the last time and see if he had changed.
He recognized the other person after taking a glance from a distance. His features became more profound and his figure became taller and more sturdy, which was somewhat different from the image in his memory.
When the thunderbolts fell on the man one after another, his hair gradually turned white. He remembered that the man had the same change when he was possessed by the devil.
He thought about it and could only think that it was because of the Red Blood Pearl.
He originally thought that Wei Xin would be able to ascend to heaven this time, so that he could leave this place, stop committing murders, and no one would seek revenge on him.
However, the ending was just as the master had predicted. Heaven would not tolerate it, and Wei Xin had to survive this calamity, narrowly escaping death.
Wei Xin was struck unconscious to the ground, but the thunder did not stop and continued to fall on him. Just when his soul was about to be destroyed, he had no time to think. By the time he reacted, the sword had been unsheathed, shaking the world.
Later, he was imprisoned in a solitary cell. Recalling his feelings at that time, he realized that he just wanted to repay his gratitude.
However, after he took Wei Xin away and hid in Chongchuan Gorge for treatment, his mood changed.
Having lost his inner strength, Wei Xin is no longer as bloodthirsty and cruel as rumored by the outside world. He is more like the boy in his memory with a bad temper but occasionally showing a bit of gentleness.
I feed him every day, and even though I think the food is unpalatable, when he is silent, I will think he is sad and say a few nice words to comfort him.
When she was in a good mood, she would tell him some interesting stories about the Xuan Ji Sect and would deliberately tease him. After he pretended to fall, she would hurriedly sit up from the bed and ask him where he was hurt.
He couldn't help but wonder what Wei Xin would become if he was taught by someone like his master...
Afterwards, he used the talisman to maintain contact with Wei Xin, trying to guide him onto the right path, but at the same time he couldn't help being attracted to Wei Xin.
Thinking of the time when they met again at Qingguan Sect, Wei Xin seemed to have completely failed to recognize him.
He had changed a lot over the years, so it was normal to forget about him.
When he walked into the hall and suddenly sensed the aura of the Red Blood Pearl, his calm heart suddenly began beating uncontrollably and could no longer be ignored.
He withdrew his thoughts, and Wei Xin hugged him gloomily: "But your sword was broken, and you must have been injured too."
"You don't have to feel guilty. You went crazy because of saving me, and I lost a sword while saving you. We are even. Fortunately, we are lucky enough to survive."
Wei Xin: "Yun Qing said you can never ascend again?"
Yun Du: "Don't listen to his bragging."
"......"Is this bragging?
Yun Du added: "My lifelong pursuit of the Tao has changed, so whether or not I can ascend is not that important anymore."
"What did it change to?"
Yun Du kissed his forehead and chuckled, "You ask even though you already know the answer."
On the way back, Wei Xin asked, "If I don't know the truth, are you planning to never tell me for the rest of my life?"
"What's the point of telling you? Will you make me feel sorry for you if you cry like you did just now? Well... it seems not bad. When Xin cries, she is really beautiful. It's rare to see her like that in a century."
"......"
Yun Du dodged a kick, smiled and held his hand, and said calmly: When I saved you, I never thought about asking you to repay me. If my love is exchanged for guilt, I won’t like it. "
Wei Xin's lips curled up slightly, looking at the sunset in the sky, then turned to look at him: "I just purely like you as a person, but now I also feel guilty and grateful, so...is there anything you want? I can give you anything!"
It is said that cause and effect are cyclical. He had made many mistakes in the past, but he only wanted to do good things for the rest of his life, hoping to bring some blessings to Yundu.
Yun Du whispered something in his ear, and Wei Xin blushed, "How can this be possible?"
"Axin wants to cheat again?"
"Of course not, I mean what I say!"
So that afternoon, Wei Xin held Yun Du's hand and walked to every corner of Xuan Ji Sect, telling everyone he met, "This is my Taoist partner."
The disciples all stared at them in astonishment—it turned out that the queen was really this person!
In the next few days, the disciples tried every means to curry favor with Yun Du and gave him all kinds of treasures.
Yundu reciprocated the favor and gave each of them a copy of the Tao Te Ching.
Wei Xin looked at the group of people who were reading the Tao Te Ching with their heads down, and the corners of his mouth twitched. He turned to Dong Ying and asked, "What's going on outside?"
"The Qingguan Sect has invited other sects to discuss the encirclement and suppression of the Xuanji Sect." Dong Ying said in a deep voice.
"Have you decided on a date?"
“I haven’t found out yet.”
"Keep asking around, and tell me as soon as you get any news. Don't alarm other people."
"yes."
Wei Xin glanced at the disciples who were scratching their heads and rubbing their cheeks at the Tao Te Ching and said, "I think they are still too idle. Let them seize the time to cultivate. No one is allowed to go out during this period of time."
Dongying said hesitantly, "Yes."
"Where's Yundu?"
"In Yunqing's room."
Yun Du helped Yun Qing gather Qi and form a pill in the room. After that, the two of them went out together and talked about business. Suddenly, he paused and turned back to look at the guard at the door: "Where is your master?"
The disciple said, "The master has gone out to do something, so please go back to your room and wait. Don't run around, or he will be unable to find you again."
Yun Du fell back, lifted his chin, looked at him carefully for a moment, smiled and said: "It's inevitable to be lonely when alone. Since he is not here, why don't you come and accompany me."
The disciple lowered his head shyly.
"Brother!" Yun Qing was surprised to see Yun Du speaking frivolously to the disciple and making ambiguous gestures. He couldn't help but frown, "What are you doing?"
The disciple glanced at Yun Qing, and fell into Yun Du's arms with a red face: "Everything is up to Master Yun Du, I am willing to do anything~"
Yun Qing walked up to him and pushed him aside: "You have no sense of shame, aren't you afraid that Wei Xin will come after you?"
The disciple leaned into Yundu's arms pitifully: "Then Master Yundu, please protect me well~"
Yundu: "Okay."
"Brother, how could you..." Yun Qing looked at Yun Du's expression, wondering what he was thinking of, and carefully observed this disciple, "Are you... Wei Xin?"
"How did you guess it so quickly? How boring." Wei Xin changed back to his original appearance and raised an eyebrow at him.
"...Why would you change your appearance if you have nothing to do?"
"See if he can recognize me every time." Wei Xin looked at Yun Du with a smile, "You are really good. You can recognize me every time."
These days, he pretended to be other people when he had nothing to do, and Yun Du always recognized him at the first moment. Although he felt a little frustrated, he was still happy in his heart.
Wei Xin: "Next time I will definitely change to something you can't recognize!"
Yun Du smiled: "Then I will start looking forward to it."
After that, Wei Xin tried several more times, but failed every time.
On this day, the weather was good. Yundu was applying fertilizer under a tree when he suddenly saw a kite floating in the sky.
He looked around, put down the shovel and looked over. He saw a strange yet familiar figure, a head shorter than Wei Xin, with narrower shoulders and waist, like a smaller version of Wei Xin...
The other person turned around and tugged at the string in his hand: "Why can't I fly this kite properly? Come and teach me."
Yun Du looked at the young and tender face, which gradually overlapped with the appearance in his memory. He came to him like a flash, staring at his appearance at this moment, his eyes trembling, but he dared not move.
Wei Xin smiled and raised his eyebrows: "Do you miss me, Xu Linfeng?"
Yun Du moved, bent down, hugged him tightly, and immersed himself in his scent.
"Axin."
"Um."
"Change back."
"Don't you like the look of this?"
"No." Yun Du picked him up and said, "I'm afraid your small body won't be able to bear it later."
Wei Xin: “.”
