[Xianjian + Ancient Sword Colleague] Being a master is also a kind of practice

Shen Bailing didn't want to accept those little locusts, but the elder persuaded him again and again, first with sincere words, repeatedly claiming, "These little brats are the descendants of Huai Lianli, and based on your friendship with him, don't take care of them." Two, how can we get by?" Yun Yun, seeing him hesitant later, took the opportunity to roll his eyes and sweep them out. Shen Bailing stood helplessly outside the door, only to hear the old man's laughter getting farther and farther away, apparently entering the inner room, The hand beating on the door had to hang down.

Turning his head again, five pairs of small, black eyes were staring at him intently. The small eyes were rather pitiful, which made him feel a little inexplicable guilt, and he couldn't say the words of rejection no matter what. "Alas!" Shen Bailing sighed heavily, and had no choice but to wave to those little locust tree monsters, "Let's go."

The five little demons immediately meowed with joy, if the tails on their backs were longer, they would have already been wagging.

Afterwards, the five Huaimi brothers settled down in Shen Bailing's house. Fortunately, the five of them were as small as cats, and they squeezed together more than enough.Shen Bailing cleaned out his childhood residence and gave it to these little Huai Yao, while he moved to sleep in the bedroom next door where his mother Chan Jing used to live.As the elder brother of the five little Huai Mi, although he is young and has low demon power, he is strong in temperament and has some unyielding character. Seeing how he takes care of his younger brothers, Shen Bailing also likes him for distinguishing right from wrong. I praised him a lot, and I paid a little more attention when teaching him.

Because Guaxian once gave advice, the opportunity to find Chanyou's daughter will come to him, so he doesn't have to run around anymore, so he simply doesn't go out anymore, except helping the elders and Huanyou in the ancient city of Juchao country every day. The more he does chores, he gives advice to the demon cultivators of the five little demons. In his free time, he occasionally communicates with Murong Ziying who is far away in Kunlun Mountains. His life is quite comfortable.

Time passed quickly, and Murong Ziying's message from Yujian came very frequently at the beginning. Although each letter was only a few words, which was no different from his usual indifferent style, but the sincerity was vividly written on the paper, which was very comfortable to read.The first few letters only briefly described the affairs after returning to the sect, it seems that the Qionghua sect has a lot of things recently, and the head of the sect has been in retreat for longer and longer, since he returned, he only saw Suyao once or twice.Shen Bailing vaguely felt that something big was about to happen, but the strange premonition in his heart just passed away, and was instantly obliterated by the trivial matters around him.

The later letters were much more interesting. Shen Bailing learned from Murong Ziying that the Qionghua Sect had recently recruited three more disciples, and Suyao was so absorbed in retreat that she had no time to worry about other things, so she put the three under Murong Ziying's name and put them under his discipline. .Hearing that the man and the woman were both youngsters around his age, Shen Bailing couldn't help but smile knowingly when he thought of how this cold-faced young man was trying to reprimand them with his uncle's airs.Looking at the names of the three people in the letter gradually appearing more and more, Murong Ziying seemed to have a headache for these people, and directly accused them of being bold and reckless, very good at causing trouble, and dared to go down the mountain to play without authorization after only a few days after entering the letter. Lie to the gatekeeper disciples in his name.That paragraph of complaints is really pen and ink on the back of the paper, which shows that the writer is full of displeasure.Another time, Murong Ziying scolded the young disciple in a letter for treating the sword with extreme disrespect, "It's nothing more than not knowing how to raise and protect the sword, and he insults the sword wantonly, it's really a waste of heaven and earth." I couldn't help laughing, and then looked at the following sentence, "It's too merciful to be punished and return to the valley for a day", and I couldn't help laughing out loud.

However, after some days, Murong Ziying's summons gradually decreased, and then gradually disappeared. Only once, another incident was mentioned in the letter brought by Yujian. During that time, Murong Ziying seemed to be the head of the family He was ordered to look for an uncle outside, but that person's name was very familiar to Shen Bailing, and it was Su Xin.According to Murong Ziying, that Uncle Suxin got along very well with him when he was young, but later he left the Qionghua Sect for some reason, he followed all the way to a small town, and finally found her, but Suxin Xin said to himself that he had long since given up his celestial arts and became a Yanshi, and he did not intend to return to Kunlun Mountain.Murong Ziying's tone in the letter was naturally full of helplessness and regret, and Shen Bailing's heart was not like this. Only then did he realize that the fellow disciples who practiced together back then had already been scattered in all directions and forgotten in the rivers and lakes.Yun Tianqing and Suyu are dead, Suxin has left Qionghua, Suyao has become the head of a sect, but no news about that person has been released.Thinking of these, I can't help but feel pity.

In the blink of an eye, another month passed, and Murong Ziying didn't even send a letter this month.Shen Bailing thought to himself that the young man was highly valued by the head of the sect, and maybe he had other important matters, so he didn't have time to send a message to him, so he didn't take it seriously.

The midsummer is gradually passing, and the vortex once seen in 19 years appears again on Chaohu Lake.Shen Bailing passed by the bottom of the lake by chance, looked up at the rippling and spreading ripples on the biyingying lake surface, recalled that he had rescued a little girl there when he was young, and couldn't help but lose his mind for a while.

In the past few days, the Huaimi brothers got to know Shen Bailing a little better. Seeing that the monsters of the nest guards were often patrolling the bottom of the lake recently, looking very busy, they were curious and clamored for Shen Bailing to take them to watch the fun.On that day, a human woman fell into the vortex and was rescued by Shadowthorn of the Nest Guard, but she was holding onto Shadowthorn's hand tightly and refused to be pushed up the lakeshore.In desperation, Shadow Thorn had no choice but to carry her back to Juchao Country.All the monsters saw that Yingji's green face turned purple, they were obviously surprised and embarrassed, and they were all overjoyed.Shen Bailing at the side saw that the woman was not in a coma, so he swiped his sleeve across her wrist, and the woman really yelled out.

"Meow, Mr. Shen, this human race...why, why is she not afraid of us, and came to Juchao Country with Brother Shadowthorn?" Huaimi came out from behind Shen Bailing, and looked at the woman curiously , "Meow, she... she's pretty good-looking, like a mother in human form..."

Shen Bailing ignored him, frowned and looked at the young woman, and asked, "Why did you follow us into the bottom of the lake?"

The woman was very handsome, and her wet clothes stuck to her body made her look even more pitiful. She first blushed and glanced at the bewildered Yingthorn not far away, and then turned to look at Shen Bailing.Seeing this, he opened his big eyes wide and blurted out: "It's you, big brother!"

The monsters were taken aback, and Yingthorn couldn't help asking: "You...you know Bailing? You...you came to Juchao Kingdom to find him?" The purple color on his face faded a lot, but he didn't seem to be looking at him. very happy.

Shen Bailing frowned even tighter, carefully sizing up the woman's appearance, but really couldn't remember where he had seen this young woman.

The woman was very clever, and when she saw Shen Bailing's puzzled face, she spontaneously explained: "Brother, don't you remember me? I remember you very clearly. I am Mu Xuan... More than ten years ago, we used to be together I met once in the woods by the lake." She paused, seeing that Shen Bailing still had a trace of doubt on her face, and said, "The magistrate's wife was there at that time, and you talked a lot with her..." Looking at Shen Bailing's handsome face, she couldn't help but sighed, "I never thought you would still be as handsome as before after all these years. I have never seen a man who is more beautiful than you when I grow up..." Maybe that's why. Are you impressed?

Only then did Shen Bailing vaguely remember something. There was indeed a fisherman's girl by his side on the day when he said goodbye to Ruan Ci. After 19 years, he was about the same age, but he still frowned and said, "What are you doing in Juchao Country?"

Mu Xuan's face turned pale, and after a while, she said in a low voice: "I didn't know there was a city under the lake, and I didn't know that there were monsters here... I couldn't live to throw myself into the lake."

"Meow, can't you survive? Why, you look so good-looking?" Huaimi tilted her head curiously to look at her.

Mu Xuan lowered her head and remained silent for a long time before replying: "It's because I was born a little flat that I had to throw myself into the lake... Our family owes a lot of money to Mr. Huang's family, Huang Tianba wants to force me to marry him as a concubine , I really don't want to... Even death is better than marrying that villain!" She said, wiping the tears that shed from her face at some point.

"Meow, it turns out that the human race treats our own people so badly! Then you don't want to go back, just live in Juchao country." Huaimi was persecuted by the human race before she was exiled to Juchao country. Hearing what Mu Xuan said It was filled with righteous indignation and meowed.

Shadowthorn, who was stunned by the side, also nodded again and again: "Yes, yes! Although the monsters in our nest country are not as good-looking as your human race, they are very kind-hearted and will never embarrass you."

Mu Xuan raised her head and glanced at Yingthorn, her face suddenly turned red again, she lowered her head and asked softly, "Are you really willing to take me in?"

Yingji and Huaimi were about to nod yes, when they suddenly remembered something, they turned their heads to look at Shen Bailing together.Shen Bailing raised his eyebrows slightly, and then said: "What I do, I have to ask the elders first."

"Then, please trouble Bailing, please go to the elder and tell the elders first, I will put Mu Xuan down first!" Yingthorn boldly said something, and turned his head to help Mu Xuan and walked towards the city. go first.

Huaimi squinted her small eyes and looked at his back for a long time, then suddenly said in surprise: "Meow, Mr. Shen, why is Yingthorn going to his own home when Yingji placed Sister Muxuan?"

In the distance, Shadowthorn's figure supporting Mu Xuan seemed to froze suddenly.

After all the monsters dispersed in front of the city gate, Shen Bailing walked towards the elder's residence on the Nest Temple.After hearing about Mu Xuan, Huanxie sighed with emotion, and said, "If that human woman completely cuts off contact with those human races on Chaohu Lake, and promises not to reveal the matter of Juchao Country, then it's fine to keep her." .” After a pause, he said meaningfully, “But shemale is different, we should persuade Yingthorn to stay away from her.”

Shen Bailing had already seen that Yingji and Mu Xuan seemed to be quite interested in each other, and they could not be persuaded by just a few words, so they just answered yes.

Hurricane handles a lot of affairs on weekdays, and the matter of a human woman is really not worth mentioning to him, so he immediately pulled Shen Bailing to talk about other things, and the implication was that he was old and weak and needed to rest, implying that Shen Bailing helped a lot.Shen Bailing could only smile helplessly.

While speaking, he suddenly heard a commotion outside, the sound was coming from the Nest Temple, and there was also the angry shouts of Huaimi and other little demons, Shen Bailing frowned again, and hurriedly took the opportunity to say goodbye to Hurricane, hurriedly rush out.

As soon as he walked down the stone steps, he heard Huai Mi angrily say: "You really are a villain! You killed our father and mother, and you dare to come to Juchao Country?"

Then I heard a very familiar voice coldly saying: "Who am I? It turned out to be the evildoer of Nvluoyan. I didn't expect to leave you a few fish who slipped through the net that day!" It was the man who drew out his sword, "That's fine, I'm here today to cut grass and roots!"

Shen Bailing opened his eyes wide and looked forward, just in time to see a cloud of purple light condensed on the sword in the man's hand, obviously ready to go, and what the tip of his sword was pointing at were Huaimi and the other little Huai demons. Hastily blurted out: "Ziying, stop!"
