Extra: Xia Tian Wu Mo Lin: Puppies can't talk

Xia Tianwu has always known that she was born indifferent and boring. Perhaps it was because her mother chose to stay at home since she was young to make up for the regression caused by her upbringing, and her father was also busy traveling outside to gain experience and find nourishing herbs. She chose to mature too early and rarely expressed her feelings, so her parents thought she was born like this and was introverted by nature.

There is nothing wrong with being introverted. She obediently studied the introductory practice manual left by her father and entered the path of Taoism smoothly. She has always been praised for being gifted, smart and sensible, and she does not need her parents to worry about her.

Later, Xia Tian was unlucky. She was quiet, talented, and had a fire spirit root. She was led away by the impetuous leader of the Supreme Sect and entered the Supreme Sect to become his direct disciple.

Feng Chao was extremely enthusiastic towards her, and although she was grateful, she didn't know how to respond or express it.

When she arrived at the sect, she was taken by the sect leader to the foot of a mountain, to a spiritual field, where she met her future master.

"Old Five! I found a good seedling for you! Pure fire spiritual root! The little girl is quiet! Not talkative! Very sensible! Already entered the Tao, and can take care of herself! I'm sure she suits your temperament! Hurry up and stop digging your land! "

An obviously young but bearded monk rolled up his trousers, brushed off the dust on his body with a dust whisk, waded to the edge of the field with one foot deep and one foot shallow, glanced around, and looked extremely serious.

Xia Tianwu didn't dare to look at him and lowered her head to look at her toes. Later she found out that her master didn't dare to look at him either, so he just pretended to take a glance and didn't see clearly at all. So when she changed her clothes and saw him again the next day, he was shocked.

Later, she heard from her junior uncle who was much younger than her that this was called severe social phobia, social fear.

I don't understand Xia Tian, ​​it's just the fear of a group of people gathering together, so the word is reasonably coined.

She also suffers from social anxiety.

But it's not completely social phobia.

There were very few people in the Supreme Sect, so she lived there very comfortably.

The leader of Feng Dynasty seemed to be very busy all the time, so the one who took her through the sect that was familiar to her was her only peer, her senior brother Mo Lin.

At that time, Mo Lin appeared in front of her in high spirits. When he flew towards her, she was inexplicably reminded of a big dog in the town that was always particularly enthusiastic. It would pounce on anyone it saw and would often make children stumble. Its eyes were always moist and shiny black. He looked even more like her when he smiled at her. If this guy had a tail, it would be flying high and swinging now.

I don’t want to spend the summer with such a passionate person. It’s great.

I grew up in a bustling environment since I was a child.

But Mo Lin told her that he grew up in the sect since he was a child. He cried day and night after he was born. The monks passing by said that he was born extraordinary. Unfortunately, he was from an ordinary family in an ordinary town. His family could not afford to raise him, and he could not protect him without background and strength.

Sure enough, after that monk left, more monks passed by one after another. Some said they wanted to take the child away because of his good qualifications, while others directly asked if he would sell the child.

Although the Mo family couple were just ordinary Fengchu realm cultivators, they knew that they were not well-informed and had no idea how extraordinary the child was. However, they did not want their infant child to fall into the hands of people with unknown purposes, so they took care of Xiruan. Since they did not have the background and strength to protect him, they asked the most powerful sect in Zhongzhou for protection.

When they reached the Supreme Sect's territory, they could not move any further. In the mountains, they encountered an evil demon that wanted to eat children. However, they unexpectedly met the True Man Ju Yuan who had returned to inspect the territory.

Ju Yuan killed the evil demon with one shot. Hearing Mo Lin crying, he exclaimed, "This kid has a loud voice and a lot of energy, but he seems to be almost fainting from hunger."

The Mo family couple was greatly shocked and hurriedly wanted to kowtow and ask Ju Yuan for help.

Ju Yuan quickly picked him up and said, "This kid was born with spiritual bones. He can't absorb spiritual energy, but he doesn't know it. He just feels hungry and cries when he's hungry. I'm not a medical practitioner, so I can't tell for sure, but this kid is so hungry that he's... fat and white."

The Mo family couple explained the reason, and Ju Yuan thought about it and felt that it was impossible to keep Mo Lin alive in their hands, so he brought the child into the Supreme Sect.

It was also the first time for Ju Yuan to raise a child, so he asked many people in the sect for help. From then on, the sect raised a lot of livestock just to ensure that Mo Lin had enough food and water.

"You came just in time. The food they cook doesn't seem so strange anymore."

After Mo Lin finished speaking, he turned to look at Xia Tianwu, his eyes still burning, and he smiled as if he was a little embarrassed, "Did I say too much? I talk too much, please don't mind."

There is no shaking head in summer, just a sense of relaxation.

She likes to listen to people talk, "as long as it doesn't disturb your conversation."

"Don't bother me, don't bother me. I don't have anyone else to talk to in the sect. I just talk to the spirit animals in the zoo every day. I hope you don't mind me being annoying."

While Mo Lin was taking her around the entire Wushang Sect, he told her all kinds of interesting stories in the sect, such as one of his morning and evening classes was to feed the animals in the zoo. There was a bear in the back mountain that always tried to escape and eat the livestock in the zoo. It also had several lives on its back, so it was caught and fought by him. No matter how small the matter was, it always sounded very interesting when it came from his mouth.

He led the others to ask, "Look at me, I finally have a junior sister here, I'm so excited, I only care about me and the Supreme Sect, what about you?"

Xia Tianwu was stunned for a moment, "Me?"

Mo Lin nodded, "Yes, I've told you so much about me, why don't you tell me about yourself? Where was your old home and what kind of life did you live? Are your dishes salty, light or sweet? Do you like meat or vegetables? Do you eat rice or noodles?"

After he finished his rambling, he turned and looked at her seriously.

Xia Tianwu didn't dare to look him in the eye when he looked at her. She avoided his eager gaze and whispered, "I can eat anything. There's no need to be so troublesome."

"What's the trouble? You've come to the Supreme Sect, and it will be your home from now on. At home, you can choose what you like, what tastes you want, and what preferences you have. Don't worry about whether it suits others or not. Just say it boldly. Don't be afraid. It's just the two of us. I've also learned how to cook, so I can handle it!"

Seeing that Xia Tianwu still didn't say anything, Mo Lin thought that she had not let go yet, so he simply asked about her hometown so as to judge her usual lifestyle.

"My hometown? It's in Yunquan Town. It's not very prosperous and there's nothing interesting to do there."

Xia Tianwu thought about it, trying to think of some interesting things, from a dog to the various flowers in the yard. She loved to tinker with flowers, plants and trees since she was a child. She imagined herself as a pharmacist who cured diseases and saved lives, and learned the extraction technique without any guidance.

It was a hot summer day and the dog seemed to have heatstroke. It fell at the gate of her house. It drank the medicine she developed and was too excited. It bumped into a tree and scratched its head. She quickly applied the medicine and bandaged it. The next day, people in the town spread the news that the ordinary dog ​​had become smart and awakened some talent. Every day, it rushed around and was full of energy.

Xia Tianwu was afraid that he had gotten into trouble, so he stayed indoors for half a month, for fear of seeing the dog again.

Fortunately, half a month later, the dog had developed some strong muscles and would come to her with its tail wagging as usual when it saw her.

After she finished speaking, she was afraid that she had said too much and wasted Mo Lin's time, so she turned her head carefully and looked at him. She found that he was looking at her intently, his eyes full of excitement. "Then what? Then what? Have you tried to write down the formula and try it again? Can people drink it?"

Xia Tianwu shook his head, "I was afraid something might happen again, so I never tried it again."

After she finished speaking, she was afraid of ruining Mo Lin's interest, but she found that he was thinking seriously, and then she said sincerely, "That doesn't matter! After you come to our Supreme Sect, you can try it boldly! No dog will stop you! I will teach you the footwork! Or teach you how to beat a dog with a stick! I really can!"

"But there are no dogs in our sect's zoo. Do you think a bear would work?"

Xia Tianwu was led astray by Mo Lin, "Is the bear too big?"

Mo Lin thought about it and said, "It seems to be true. It doesn't matter. There are so many monsters in the zoo, I can always find the right one!"

Xia Tianwu realized that Mo Lin was not teasing her on purpose, but was seriously helping her with the plan, and his sincerity made her unable to help but laugh.

Mo Lin saw her smile and smiled too, like the most carefree person in the world.

Xia Tianwu later found out that this senior brother was not that talkative. It was probably because he didn't have many peers, so he felt pent up and talked too much on the first day. On the second day, when he saw her, he didn't know what to say and could only smile.

Later, Mo Lin also got to know her habits. She had a light taste and preferred to eat fish and shrimp, and drink soup. She had a cold personality, but was willing to listen to others. Perhaps she felt that she was boring, and was afraid of saying the wrong thing, exposing her own flaws, and causing trouble for others, so she didn't like to talk much. She always liked to study silently, and would not go to the elders unless there was a real problem.

So Mo Lin used his belt to teach her swordsmanship, and taught her how to use swordsmanship more effectively. They learned the same set of footwork, and studied scriptures, calligraphy, and talismans together at Feng Chao's place. Whenever he dislocated his arm or strained it from sword practice, or came back injured from a challenge, Xia Tianwu would be able to heal him immediately.

Most of the time, when they met every day, Mo Lin would talk about the same things over and over again, what to eat for three meals, who was fighting with whom in the zoo, and whether the rice in the fields had turned yellow.

Most of the words spoken during summer were spent on interacting with Mo Lin.

Until she found the strange fire in an underground valley.

Her initial excitement faded away, and she found that the strange fire of heaven and earth was not so easy to control.

She thought she could make better pills and be a better person, but the reality was contrary to her expectations.

She had never failed to make pills before, but now they frequently failed.

Although her offensiveness and combat power increased, it also brought many obstacles to her path of alchemy.

The head of the sect and her master had taken turns talking to her. Since she hadn't chosen a career path yet, it was still not too late for her to switch to another major.

Xia Tianwu thought about it seriously for a long time until he was found by Mo Lin.

"Junior sister, what are you thinking about?"

"Are you still feeling guilty about the furnace explosion? Don't worry, your senior brother has already repaired the roof. There are still many furnaces in our sect's storehouse. I have seen them all. They can be used after some repairs."

Mo Lin still liked to nag at her, "Don't worry, the headmaster and the others advised you to change your cultivation because they were afraid that you were too young to have your own goals, but I knew it. I knew it when you first came."

He said seriously, "You particularly like to extract liquid medicine. Because the puppy was exhausted from the sun, you wanted to refine liquid medicine to help relieve the heat. You like dealing with plants, and you also like to cure diseases and save lives, right?"

"It doesn't matter if it's a little difficult. When I first started practicing Hidden Sword, I drained the thunder pool that my predecessors had accumulated for thousands of years, but I couldn't wield any sword energy. My master said that the more difficult the technique is, the more powerful you will be after you master it. You're walking a very special path, but it doesn't matter. We have a long life ahead of us! Take your time!"

"Even if you blow up many stoves and damage many houses, the headmaster and uncle will not blame you. Of course, you didn't cause me any trouble either, because when you bandaged and treated my injuries, you didn't think I was a nuisance, right? I just love doing this! Don't worry!"

The young man stood in the mountain breeze at night, yet he still felt so warm, like the sun.

Xia Tianwuxiang thought Mo Lin was really strange. Although he was careless and negligent when practicing, he also knew that she was most afraid of causing trouble to the elders and others, and she knew what she wanted.

Seems careless, but not that careless.

But she finally did not choose to change her training and continued to get used to the strange fire. Fortunately, the master who seemed very cold actually smiled and told her to relax. No matter how difficult this road was, he would find a way to guide her to control the strange fire.

It was not until then that Xia Tianwu realized that in this world, it didn't matter if you got into trouble occasionally or became a worrying child occasionally.

Later, she realized that being sensible and not causing worry is not the greatest compliment for a child. Children are not born with knowledge, and the biggest problem is not having any problems in the learning process.

However, her habitual passivity, habitual sensibility, and habitual self-blame are not good things.

But being introverted has become her uncontrollable instinct.

She often thought that it was probably because she was too rigid and introverted, just like all rabbits with a high pain tolerance. By the time she made a sound, the hidden pain inside had turned into a sharp knife.

The world always pays attention to those who speak first.

For a long time, she sometimes regretted finding that strange fire. Was it she who tamed the strange fire, or was it the strange fire that controlled her?

But later, she didn't regret it.

Someone told her that it was not her incompetence or fault, and someone else constantly affirmed that every failure of hers was not a failure.

Because of Mo Lin, she bravely walked out of the first cage that trapped her. Because of Junior Master, she walked out of the second cage that trapped her.

Jinxuan told her that it was always because she was strong and brave enough.

So many people admired her, even the junior uncle and senior brother were a little afraid of her.

By the time Xia Tianwu could react, she had already walked to a higher place with her head down.

The eldest senior brother always has that kind of temperament, probably because he was raised by senior uncle Ju Yuan since he was a child. To put it nicely, he is simple-minded and straightforward, but to put it bluntly, he is stupid, heartless, and too righteous.

Even his unusual show of goodwill was clumsy, and Xia Tian didn't realize that this person probably wasn't very good at speaking.

She also doesn't talk much.

Probably from the beginning, no one taught them how to communicate and converse, or how to respond to people's kindness.

What she was more accustomed to was probably that in every chaos, Mo Lin would subconsciously grab her hand.

Mo Lin's hands have been used for sword practice for many years. A sword practitioner does not need to use spiritual power to erase the knots and deformations caused by sword practice. On the contrary, the marks made by the wear and tear make it more convenient for a sword practitioner to practice sword.

So no matter whether it was in the mist or under the blood moon, no matter whether it was in the middle of a fight, no matter whether there were bloody enemies or piles of bones ahead, in the chaos, there would always be someone who would look at her first, and before anyone else could look over, their hands would be the first to reach out.

Life is a river that flows upstream. As time goes by, many things and many people are washed away, but there are always many things that are left behind like sunken gold.

Many times, Xia Tian didn't think Mo Lin would say something definite, but he always seemed to chatter about life as usual.

It also makes her a little unsure, just like a puppy wagging its tail at you, likes to circle around you, and likes to stare at you with bright eyes. You think it likes you, but puppies can't talk.

So she is not sure whether her understanding of the puppy is correct. Does the puppy really only like you? Is it because of simple liking or for some other reason? What kind of liking is it?

Until the end of the battle, the flag was hoisted at the highest point, and the man walked through the crowd with a drawn sword in his hand. He was dirty and his face was not clean, but his eyes were bright, just like when he first met him. After seeing him, a not-so-bright smile suddenly spread across his stern face, and it looked brilliant in the ray of daylight.

Mo Lin walked a few steps in front of Xia Tianwu, carefully sheathed his sword, and then stood completely in front of her. His smile slowly faded, but he spoke as if he had been holding it in for fifty years and it all came out all at once, as if he was meeting someone of his generation for the first time.

"Tianwu, the evil demon has completely disappeared. Do you want to walk with me on the next path of Taiping cultivation? I mean, the kind where we become a couple?"

"I've been wanting to say this before, but I didn't think it was appropriate. I wanted to wait until both of us finished the most important things at the moment before I could say it. You have your way to save the world, and I have my way to slay demons. In this time of chaos, I can't stop you from working hard. Following you would only cause you trouble. You must also work hard to cultivate your sword and fight for an uncertain dawn."

"But now, the world is at peace again. Are you willing to go with me?"

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Mo Lin gripped the hilt of the sword nervously, but still refused to look away.

Xia Tianwu was speechless for a moment, and nodded vigorously amid the cheers of celebration for the destruction of the evil demon.

She couldn't tell when she had accepted this outcome. It was probably when she saw the man's red face hesitating in the illusion, when she saw Mo Lin squatting in front of the man-made evil demon and carefully feeding her the evil demon that he should have killed with one sword, and when she got used to the nagging over the years.

In the sky of hope, after the magnificent climax, it is time to return to the slow and steady flow of time.

Xia Tianwu once asked Mo Lin a question, "Don't you think we are too bland and boring?"

They don't seem to have much passionate love, nor fierce conflicts, nor tears of troubled longing, everything is indifferent.

Her love, her life, and her as a person all seem so indifferent.

But Mo Lin opened his eyes wide, thought seriously, and gave a sincere answer, "Wouldn't it be tiring to live an unusual life? Our lives are already eventful enough, why should we make our love life more difficult?"

Life is full of ups and downs, wave after wave. Amidst the roar of mountains and the tsunami, people who are in the same boat are probably the only relatively peaceful harbor.

"Ordinary is not a derogatory word. Rather than ordinary, it is probably more like smooth." Mo Lin grinned, "After all, you are the only one in the world who can accept my nagging and talking about all kinds of nonsense."

Xia Tian had no thoughts. Indeed, her life had encountered twists and turns many times, and the world was so hard and noisy. This kind of white clouds, quiet water and brilliant life under the afternoon sun was her most accustomed home.

Later, after peace was restored in the world, Xia Tianwu obtained the inheritance of the ancient gods in a secret place. It happened to be combined with the skills of Yihuo and the soft sword taught by Mo Lin, which was enough to scare away all the ghosts. She suddenly realized that there was light after all.

There is a spiritual plant called Xia Tian Wu, which stops blooming after the beginning of summer. However, Xia Tian Wu can only bloom its own flowers if it survives the scorching sun.

The ink pool is full of golden scales, and the summer is long and the sky is scorching.

They will always get out of the mud and survive the bitter summer, but life will continue to flow and there will be a way for self-reliance.
