Su Guanhai didn't turn around. He frowned slightly, recognizing who the owner of the familiar footsteps was.
What made him frown was the faint smell of blood lingering on the man.
The owner of the footsteps stopped beside him, and then imitated his movements and slowly squatted down. Following the movements of the man, the smell of blood became heavier.
Su Guanhai finally turned to look at his junior brother with helpless eyes.
"When did you become so helpless? I asked you to investigate the Demon Sect's footprints. It would be better for you to disappear for half a month and still come back with such injuries."
The man beside him had an ordinary appearance, the kind that could not be found in the crowd.
Only those eyes, bright with the vicissitudes of wind and snow, showed a person with a story.
His junior brother Su Guanhai has been worshiping the Taixuan Sect since he was a child, and he has a deep affection for it. He still remembers the invasion of the demon sect, which put the entire Central-Earth cultivating sect into an unprecedented crisis.
At that time, Tianxi Sword Sect Bailiyu was born and resolved the crisis of the invasion of the demon sect.
In Cangwu Palace, the old palace master is still alive, and he can resist the entire Cangwu Palace with one person, and is not disturbed by the demon sect.
At that time, Taixuan Sect became the primary target of the Langya Demon Sect among the three sects.
At that time, the leader of the Taixuan Sect ascended to the throne and became leaderless. Su Guanhai was still young at that time, and his cultivation was far inferior to that of Bailiyu at that time.
The huge Taixuan Sect almost fell apart.
In the end, Su Guanhai and his junior brother Feng Xuanzi had an epiphany, entered the Taixuan Forbidden Area, and understood the innate Taoist secret.
The two of them came out of the forbidden area, turned the tide, fought their way out, and saved the Taixuan Sect back then.
At that time, the quota for the internal selection of the sect leader was originally the two of them, but Feng Xuanzi withdrew from the internal selection position of the sect leader and became the protector of the Taixuan Sect.
If there is anyone in the world that Su Guanhai absolutely trusts, one is his wife Li Bansheng, and the other... is his junior brother.
Feng Xuanzi turned his head and saw that the simply bandaged wound on his shoulder was beginning to ooze blood. He smiled helplessly, then tore off the clean hem of the Taoist robe, tore it into a long strip, and handed the other end to the sect leader.
Su Guanhai had such a tacit understanding with him that he took the other end of the cloth and helped him re-bandage the wound.
Feng Xuanzi said: "What are you talking about? You are really interesting as a senior brother. You instruct me to do things very neatly. But I have been missing for half a month and you haven't seen you sending anyone to look for me. You are really big-hearted." "
Su Guanhai did not use the healing technique to treat his wounds, because his junior brother Xinren was the most proficient in the healing technique. Even he himself could not stop the blood in the wound, so naturally he could not help him much.
Feng Xuanzi looked at the clouds and mists in the distant mountains, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes, "I have found that demon sect demon, but he is just an ant in the spirit-carrying stage."
Su Guanhai had inspected the corpse of the demon sect named Qi Ren, and naturally knew his true cultivation level.
Originally, he was still wondering why when Bai Lian killed the abandoned man, he mistakenly thought that his strength was only at the Kaiyuan level.
And how could a demon sect cultivator in the spirit-carrying stage lose his life at the hands of a junior seeker who had just started.
At first, he thought it was just a way for people from the Demon Sect to cheat death, and there was a bigger conspiracy behind it.
But when he really found out about the corpse, there was no doubt that it was really him.
Now that he saw his junior brother's injuries, he understood.
Su Guanhai asked: "Have you ever fought against that Demon Sect person?"
Feng Xuanzi nodded and said: "I found the man from the Demon Sect a hundred miles away in the Tianside Mountain. He is not very strong, but he has a weird little sword. I have never seen him before. Such an evil sword.
It can suck the essence and blood of the human body crazily. In the hands of the demon sect, it is extremely powerful. And in that sword, there seems to be a blood formation deep inside. I was injured by that small sword and was trapped in the blood formation for a whole time. Half a month. "
Su Guanhai said: "And you also hurt that man, so he would cause trouble to Taixuan, so you imprisoned him to the Kaiyuan stage, right?"
Feng Xuanzi was startled and said in slight surprise: "Senior brother, how do you know that man's strength has dropped to the Kaiyuan stage? Is it possible that you have fought against him?"
As he said that, Feng Xuanzi showed a smile on his face and said: "In this case, senior brother's attack must be absolutely foolproof. The remnants of the Demon Sect must have been killed by senior brother, right?"
Hearing his question, Su Guanhai immediately showed a meaningful and proud smile.
Feng Xuanzi frowned and said, "Senior brother... why haven't I seen you for half a month? Your smile actually has a bit more of a vulgar flavor."
Su Guanhai was in a good mood and did not care about this with him. He smiled and said: "The man from the Demon Sect is indeed dead, and he is stationed near the mountain gate of our Taixuan Sect. His real intention is to activate the blood-killing formation and summon the evil Hell is coming to kill me, Taixuan."
Feng Xuanzi's face was shocked, his lips lost some color in an instant, and he murmured: "It's actually that blood-killing formation. The conditions for opening it are extremely bloody and cruel. The people of the Demon Sect are really abominable!"
After speaking, he took a deep look at Su Guanhai and said happily: "Fortunately, senior brother solved these problems before the crisis came."
Su Guanhai smiled proudly and said, "It's not me who solves the problem, but a junior you never expected?"
"Junior?"
Feng Xuanzi frowned, and then asked: "Could it be one of the Nine Taixuan Classics?"
Su Guanhai shook his head proudly, "I told you he was the junior you never expected?"
Feng Xuanzi frowned and thought for a moment. Suddenly, there was a burst of restless footsteps on the thousand-meter-long stone steps leading to the Shenxian Tower outside the palace gate.
Then Feng Xuanzi smiled and said, "Could it be that boy Wen Yu?"
Su Guanhai looked at him with a look of disgust. What kind of look does this guy have?
Wen Yu quickly came to a place ten steps away from the two of them, and sat at the door of the main hall as if he were just doing things homely for the two important figures.
Not daring to show any strange expression on his face, he bowed respectfully and said, "Wen Yu pays homage to the sect master and pays homage to the Fengshan people."
Su Guanhai went straight to the point and said in line with his wishes: "What's wrong with your nose? Is it swollen like this?"
Wen Yu secretly cheered up, but pretended to be indifferent and said: "It's nothing, I just met Su Jing while doing morning exercises in the mountains today, and she has a new junior brother beside her. As a senior brother, I wanted to go there. Saying hello...but not thinking about Su Jing's fiery temper is really frustrating..."
After saying that, Wen Yu showed a smile and helpless expression just right. His expression was mostly tolerant and generous, and his tone was clear that he didn't care at all.
The little expression on that face seemed to say, as a senior brother, I naturally don't care about such small things.
Su Guanhai nodded, his eyes filled with kindness and relief, and he asked warmly: "I'm sorry for you, kid."
"Warm jade is not bitter."
Wen Yu felt happy and thought to herself that the sect leader was indeed upright and fair-minded.
I'm afraid Su Jing and the new guy won't get any good results!
Su Guanhai's eyes became gentler, "Is the injury painful?"
Feng Xuanzi shuddered, feeling disgusted by the tone and getting goosebumps all over his body.
Wen Yu's eyes filled with tears of emotion, "Sect Master... I don't feel any pain."
"very good……"
The smile on Su Guanhai's face suddenly receded like a tide, and his expression suddenly became serious and hard, and he said in a cold voice: "Since you don't feel pain or pain, then you kid, go to the thorn forest for a walk. "
Wen Yu's face turned pale instantly, and she couldn't even hold back the tears in her eyes.
This doesn’t seem right with the direction of the plot, right?
Shouldn't Su Jing be punished?
Why is today so abnormal? ! ! !
The Thorn Forest, as the name suggests, is a thorn forest that grows in a jungle south of Nanze Mountain.
There is no grass growing there, only endless thorn trees. There are no leaves or birds or animals on the tree trunks. There are only countless thorn barbs that can pierce the body of the practitioner.
Even centipedes and poisonous insects cannot survive inside.
It is a perfect place to punish sect disciples who have made mistakes.
That has been Lian Taixuan Qijing's nightmare since childhood. The only one who is not afraid of that place is the fool Su Jing.
Wen Yu's pale lips trembled and she asked in disbelief: "Why...is it a disciple..."
Su Guanhai said calmly: "Because it was you who made the mistake this time, do you still want me to personally go down and question the disciples who practiced with you today?"
Wen Yu's eyes were panicked and she didn't dare to say another word.
He didn't know why the sect leader was so sure that he was in the wrong today, but he knew it.
If he were to defend himself at this moment, it would be more than just a walk in the thorn forest.
"Yes, my disciple knows his mistake and will go down to receive his punishment!"
Wen Yu's tall figure stumbled away from the bottom of the stone steps.
Feng Xuanzi gave him a strange look and said, "That child Su Jing has a weird temper. There may be a misunderstanding about what happened today. It may not be all the child's fault. Is it too much to punish him to go to the thorn forest...?"
He thought to himself, why is his senior brother so abnormal today.
The free and easy smile on Su Guanhai's face reappeared, "No, it must be Wen Yu who is at fault for today's matter. Don't forget that just now he said that A Jing was accompanied by a new disciple."
Feng Xuanzi said in a daze: "The time for selecting disciples has not yet begun. Where are the new disciples? Isn't that kid talking in his sleep again? Wait! What does it mean to be with A Jing? Can that girl be around others? Don't do that. scare me!"
The corner of Su Guanhai's mouth curled up slightly, and he said with pride: "Didn't you just ask me who killed the remnants of the Demon Sect? I will tell you now that it was the 'new disciple' who killed the remnants of the Demon Sect, and it was in Before I even noticed it, he did it all by himself."
Feng Xuanzi said blankly: "When did you accept such an incredible person?"
Su Guanhai waved his fingers and said, "No, no, that boy is only fourteen years old, and his cultivation level is only the second level of seeking the Tao."
Feng Xuanzi stood up suddenly in shock!
"Senior brother, are you kidding me? How could a second-level young man seeking Tao kill a Demon Sect disciple whose realm was suppressed at the Kaiyuan stage?
Although his realm is limited, he is still stronger than that boy, and his combat experience of bathing in a river of blood is definitely not what a boy can match! "
The more surprised Su Guanhai saw him looking in disbelief, the more proudly his eyebrows almost flew up.
"Don't you think it's ridiculous, but the facts are so ridiculous. I didn't lie to you in the slightest, and..."
Su Guanhai coughed lightly, put a hand to his lips, and whispered: "Come here, I will only tell you about one person. Let me tell you, that boy is from the Baili family and will be my future son-in-law. "
Sect Leader Su's eyebrows almost flew up.
"The boy from the Baili family? Bailiyu?" Feng Xuanzi murmured, and then his pupils opened wider and wider, and he said dumbly:
"How is it possible? I have always heard that the only son of the Baili family is a mediocre practitioner. How can he kill a member of the Demon Sect whose cultivation is limited to the Kaiyuan realm?
And how did that kid come to my Tianze Mountain, and Bailiyu was not by his side? ! "
Su Guanhai touched his chin and said with a smile: "It's a long story, but when it comes to cultivation qualifications, that boy is really a pity.
He clearly has a will and determination that is beyond ordinary people, and he was able to take the Baiming Pill without hesitation when facing a powerful enemy.
Even as an elder, I have to admire this kind of mentality. "
After hearing the words 'Bai Ming Dan', Feng Xuanzi's expression became relieved.
He smiled helplessly and said, "Junior brother, I haven't seen you smile so cheerfully for many years. I think your new son-in-law is very fond of you."
Su Guanhai smiled. He raised his palm and pushed away the clouds in the distant mountains. He wanted the world to become a little clearer. He sighed quietly: "In the troubled world, it is rare to find a clear young man. I am I feel extremely happy for my daughter, but I feel guilty...I am afraid I will never forget it."
Although Feng Xuanzi didn't know the deeper meaning, he could see the trouble in his senior brother's heart. He stood up slowly and smiled loudly. The depths of his vicissitudes of eyes were the unpredictable deep sea.
"Senior brother, you are not a saint. In this life, there is no smooth sailing all the time. You don't always have to do a few things that go against your will.
Now that you have done it, don't regret it. Living this life with this guilt is what you should do. "
The confusion in Su Guanhai's eyes disappeared. He slowly stood up and looked at the mountain and river scenery side by side with the man next to him. The carefree and uninhibited smile on his face reappeared.
He held his head high and said: "Yes, we are still under this human mountain, even the immortals above the Nine Heavens Galaxy... ha.
Immortals and immortals still can't escape the word "human". Since we are human, we have to taste all the ups and downs of life. "
Even though he felt guilty, he had no regrets in his heart.
Feng Xuanzi smiled slightly, patted his senior brother on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Junior brother, I have been injured and bleeding a lot recently, and my body is really suffering. I will return to the small fence courtyard to let the spirit phoenix in my courtyard The chicken and the thousand-year-old koi fish can spit out some spiritual power to replenish my spiritual power. Otherwise, senior brother, it will be rare for junior brother to be generous."
Su Guanhai glanced at the injuries on his body and said with a smile: "It's time to replenish the body, but I'm not interested in your chicken or fish spiritual power. It's uncomfortable to drink fire and ice, but I'm not interested in that kind of spiritual power." I am very interested in the hundreds of spiritual grasses planted in the backyard, so why don’t I give Senior Brother two of them to try.”
"What a beautiful thought!"
Under someone's beautiful thought, the two of them walked in the wind, taking light steps like walking in a leisurely garden, and their feet did not touch the ground but they traveled ten miles in an instant.
After just a few breaths, they arrived at Su Jing's small bamboo courtyard.
Su Jing lives in the inner courtyard, while Feng Xuanzi lives in the outer courtyard. This design is naturally to help his busy senior brother to strictly monitor his daughter to prevent him from misbehaving.
Su Guanhai also brought a bottle of green plum wine, and sat in the courtyard, pouring and drinking it, waiting for Feng Xuanzi to return from his busy work.
There was absolutely no shame in using the injured.
The next moment, before he had even filled up his glass of wine, he heard a heartbreaking roar coming from the backyard, as if he had been raped by his own wife a million times.
Su Guanhai was so shocked that he almost lost his grip on the wine bottle.
"Who killed my Lingfeng chicken! What kind of bastard did it that even Su Jing didn't dare to do?!
See if I don't tear you apart! He didn't even bury the chicken feathers! It’s so deceiving! Ah, my little baby died so tragically! ! ! "
Feng Xuanzi rushed out of the backyard angrily, and rushed towards the kitchen with a gloomy and ugly face.
Su Guanhai was holding the wine glass with a look of astonishment on his face. When had he ever seen such a dishonorable side of his junior brother?
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!!"
There was another shocking scream like a killing pig.
Soon, Feng Xuanzi ran out holding a large fish tank as tall as an adult with a look of sorrow and anger on his face.
"My thousand-year-old koi spirit fish!!! was also stolen!!!"
Su Guanhai felt something bad in his heart. He thought to himself that the kid was stewed because he was hungry, right?
These things are the treasures of his junior brother. On weekdays, if the phoenix chicken loses a feather, or if the thousand-year-old koi fish accidentally scrapes off a scale, he will feel so distressed that he will not be able to swallow it for three days.
Now there is no body left, how can he not go crazy.
His eyes flickered, and he saw a few fish bones and chicken bones accidentally leaking out of a corner of the courtyard that was wrapped in yellow garbage paper.
His eyelids twitched fiercely and he smiled, and then he calmly lowered his arm and kneaded a magic formula, and quietly started to 'destroy the corpse and eliminate traces' for Bai Lian.
He coughed lightly, picked up the wine bottle and walked out of the courtyard, laughing dryly and saying: "I suddenly remembered that Ban asked me to go back for dinner. I'll go first. Junior brother, you should recuperate for a while. Senior brother will come back to you after a while. "
……………………
The spring is cold and the southern swallows have not returned. After a spring rain, the paths are wet. This forest is full of fertility and green grass...
Balian and Su Jing arrived at the foot of the mountain. The manor, which was full of messes, had returned to its former appearance thanks to their efforts.
Bailian patted the soil on his palms and carefully sowed half of the seeds from Su Jing into the soil.
When he finished sowing, Su Jing also finished the sowing with skillful hands.
“That’s it for today, just finish sowing and wait until the seedlings grow three to four leaves.
We went to the forest to pick up some twigs for planting. During this period, we must remember to keep the soil moist.
But the rainwater cannot be too fertile, so we will need to build some rain shelters later. "
Bailian patiently explained some planting matters.
Su Jing listened attentively until he heard the last sentence, but he shook his head in dissatisfaction.
Balian raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"
Su Jing pointed at the manor with her fingers covered with wet mud, and said dullly: "I never build a shed. My fruits and vegetables are never afraid of wind and rain, and these little tomatoes must be the same.
If they can't survive, they can only blame themselves for being useless. My mother said that this world is cruel and no one can protect you and shelter you from the wind and rain for a lifetime. "
Hearing this, Balian felt unhappy in every way.
Because he was one of those people Su Jing mentioned who lived under a greenhouse and had not experienced the wind and rain.
So useless.
Although Su Jing is stupid, he is really strong.
Balian smiled and put away the complicated emotions in his heart. He said: "You are absolutely right. I have to learn from you. Okay, then we won't build a shed. Let's go, wash our hands and go down the mountain to eat and buy rouge and gouache." go."
Su Jing nodded, and went to the stream with Bailian to wash their hands in the mud, and then they walked side by side towards the town.
The sun is rising high, and the sun in spring is not very strong. It gives people a warm and lazy feeling when it shines on them.
Balian looked sideways at the skinny boy with dark skin under the sun, feeling peaceful in his heart.
I thought, if my father knew that he had made two friends not long after he came out of the mountain, would he be happy for him?
Recalling her father's serious face, the excitement in Parian's heart disappeared without a trace.
