In the early morning, the mist on the lake surface was gently swayed away, revealing a rare and beautiful hand, narrow and slender, but also jade-white, with pale pink nails decorated with porcelain light, soft and pearly.

A beautiful shadow is reflected in the calm water surface. When you look at the water carefully, you can see that the eyebrows are green, the pink face is full of spring, the part where the smile is half-smiling is as bright as a peach blossom, and the texture is delicate and charming.

Raising her hand to touch her cheek, Zhen Susu seemed to notice something different. Compared to the past, she had a breathtaking brightness that she had never seen before.

With a thought in her mind, she turned back to look at the "initiator" who was still sleeping soundly on the stone in the middle of the lake. She bit her red lips lightly and her face was stained with a layer of red clouds.

Last night's encounter not only restored her injuries to the original state, but also successfully refined the Yin and Yang Qi into her body. At this time, the Zhoutian meridians were full of true energy, running smoothly, and her cultivation was slightly improved. It's hard to say, it was really a blessing.

One game.

But soon, a trace of separation and sorrow crept up on the brows, causing his eyes to tremble slightly.

Looking at the handsome face quietly, Zhen Shusheng was silent for a long time, took out a pendant, carefully tied it around Lin Xiao's neck, and then took off the black jade necklace that was originally hanging on Lin Xiao's neck.<

/p>

I just wanted to put it in the storage bag, but found that I couldn't put it in at all.

Zhen Sushu was startled when she saw this, and felt a little suspicious, so she used her spiritual sense to probe carefully, but the result made her look happy.

Just because there is a trace of unconscious soul in the black jade pendant, and I don’t know where it came from or who it originally belonged to.

But this most yin thing is a rare treasure for her taiyin skills, and it is of infinite use if it is always by her side.

Raising her hands, she tied them around her jade neck and tucked them close to her body. She looked at Lin Xiao and said softly: "Who are you, Mr. Lang..."

When I said this, my eyes were like a pool of water that could not be boiled. I only looked at the person in front of me and didn't want to move away.

Finally, Zhen Sushu leaned down, kissed Lin Xiao gently on the forehead, and just said.

"Don't be surprised, sir. When I return to my master's school and my skills are first perfected, I will come to you even if I'm at the end of the world..."

As I spoke, two lines of clear tears silently fell from the corners of my eyes.

Then he turned his hand over, and a veil fell into his palm. His heart skipped a beat - he had never thought that one day he would cover his face for others.

But she smiled because she was willing.

After putting on the veil, Zhen Sushu stood up slowly, took one last look at Lin Xiao, and then suddenly turned her head away.

Just because of the unexplained severe pain in her heart that made her tremble all over, she suddenly secretly used her true energy to fly up and rush to the shore. She didn't dare to look back, fearing that if she took one more look, she would never be able to leave again.

I'm even more afraid that if I wait a moment longer, the other party will wake up, should I go or stay?

The beautiful shadow flies across and disappears into the mist, leaving only a trace of tear-stained silver line in the air.

……

……

Gradually, the warm golden glow illuminates the mountains and the mist on the lake becomes lighter and lighter.

With a long exhalation, Lin Xiao woke up.

He couldn't even remember the last time he slept so deeply.

Should this be the first night after being taken in by a theater troupe when I was young? Almost.

Looking around, Lin Xiao's eyes were a little dazed, and he realized that his lover was not there, leaving a lingering fragrance in the air. Finally, he sighed with sadness.

"Are gatherings and separations irregular, and opportunities uncertain, are they part of the path to immortality? It should be..."

He said to himself and suddenly saw the necklace around his neck.

It was a red jade pendant engraved with a spiritual bird. It was warm in color and very lively.

Lin Xiao held it in his hand and thought to himself, this is not an exchange of tokens...

After thinking about it, I smiled, washed myself a little, laid out a magic circle around the stone in the middle of the lake, and started to practice the technique.

Sure enough, the light pink essence around the finger bones had disappeared.

Instead, a glaze of glazed light coated the finger bones. While the meridians around the body were flowing smoothly, it seemed that the true spiritual life fire in the sea of ​​consciousness was stronger than before.

The original bright blue color has become more eye-catching.

There are also some vaguely perceived but indescribable changes that seem to be happening quietly.

For several days, Lin Xiao did not move, so he secretly moved around the sky on the stone in the center of the lake, trying to figure it out carefully.

It's miraculous. I wonder if it's due to Zhen Sushu's skills. After such a rainy night, Lin Xiao found that his "Pure Heart Determination" had reached the second level. When he used it, his sea of ​​consciousness became clearer and his perception of the surroundings was stronger.

Got a lot.

The "Seven Palaces Divided Sword Sutra" firmly mentions the third of the seven levels. The Three Palaces Jade Sword operates completely without any hindrance, and there is no need to force it.

This is the most obvious manifestation of improvement in cultivation.

In addition to the above two, Lin Xiao also discovered that the power of his true energy can actually be atomized into smoke and spread about a foot around his body. It can not only cover his body, but also isolate his spiritual sense from prying eyes, which is incompatible with Zhen Sushu's protection.

The powder mist has some similarities.

However, the smoke produced by Lin Xiao is light gray.

In addition, Lin Xiao also learned an illusion similar to "Drunken Flowers Luring Souls", which can confuse the other party and fall into an illusion using only spiritual sense and eyes.

Thinking about this, Lin Xiao lamented the strangeness and unpredictability of Master Zhen's skills, and was a little curious about what tricks she had learned from herself.

However, the answer to this is currently unknown.

Until three days later, when he dispersed the formation and flew away from the mountain courtyard, Lin Xiao only said one thing in his heart - I don't know when we will meet again.

……

……

Take a familiar road and return to Zhongdu City.

Lin Xiao had just restrained his movement and landed in front of the Fire Palace when he saw a figure jumping high at the door of the palace and jumping out from inside, running and shouting non-stop.

"Teacher, senior brother! You are back!"

Seeing Zhuo Qinghe doing this, Lin Xiao was stunned and couldn't help but said: "I just walked away for three days, why should I be in such a hurry? Could something big happen?"

Zhuo Qinghe ran forward, circled around Lin Xiao, looked up and down, and then said: "Ah? The Master of the Five Paths of Tantang disappeared inexplicably after a long street sword fight with the disciples of Miaoxin Palace. This, this Isn’t it a big deal?”

"What kind of big deal is this? Isn't it normal for people in the Immortal Sect to disappear for three years rather than for three days?" Lin Xiao said, then walked away, "Okay, come with me to have a rest, here. Why are you poking!"

After saying that, he ignored Zhuo Qinghe and walked towards the training house.

After entering the house, Zhuo Qinghe had already turned over two teacups, poured some tea soup, brought them to Lin Xiao, and listened to what he said without Lin Xiao having to do anything.

"Senior brother, I don't know. If you beat someone else, no one will worry about you. But if your opponent is Miaoxin Palace and disappears inexplicably, you will inevitably make some other guesses."

Lin Xiao took a sip of tea soup. "You think they used tricks to assassinate me?"

Then he pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Sit down and talk."

"Ah, okay, thank you very much, senior brother." Zhuo Qinghe agreed, sat down and said: "This is exactly the reason. In the immortal sect nowadays, no one knows that you and Miaoxin Palace have had an affair, and you killed Wei Rongxuan in front of you. , that Wang Songyuan is the foundation-building disciple that Miaoxin Palace has high hopes for, but now, he has been seriously injured by you, senior brother..."

"Seriously injured?" Lin Xiao asked casually.

"No." Zhuo Qinghe immediately replied: "On the second day after the sword attack on Changjie, word spread from the Miaoxin Palace station that Wang Songyuan was seriously injured, and not only the arm that used the sword was disabled , even the spiritual sense has been severely damaged. It is hard to say whether it will recover as before, or whether it can continue to practice."

Hearing this, Lin Xiao was not too surprised. After all, he knew the severity of the attack at that time. It would be a bit strange if there was no such result.

So he snorted coldly and just said: "It's his own fault and he can't blame anyone else."

Zhuo Qinghe was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said: "The governor also said the same thing, these words are exactly the same."

Then he added: "But the governor still has half a sentence."

Lin Xiao couldn't help but ask, "Oh? What else can the governor say?"

Zhuo Qinghe replied: "The governor also said that senior brother kept his hand and looked at Tan Tang's face."

Lin Xiao put down the tea cup and sighed softly. "It's not easy for the governor..."

Although the friendship is not deep and the time is not long, from Lin Xiao's point of view, Lu Guangqi, as his immediate superior, is really good to him. When you work under him, you just need to do things well. If something goes wrong, he will really help you.

Carrying it around.

It's a pity that my heart is not here after all.

Zhuo Qinghe nodded slightly. "I heard that my senior brother suddenly disappeared, so the governor took real action."

As he spoke, he shrank his neck and said as if he was still frightened: "Many brothers in the hall said that after working for more than ten years, they had never seen the governor get so angry and slap him with his palm.

He broke the tea cup and was so angry that he trembled all over, turned around and went into the palace."

Hearing this, Lin Xiao was a little surprised, so he said: "Why, this matter has reached the palace? When did this happen??"

Zhuo Qinghe looked at Lin Xiao. "The governor entered the palace yesterday morning, and the results came out that afternoon."

"The results are still out? What are the results?" Lin Xiao felt a little bit dizzy.

Just listen to Zhuo Qinghe's words. "It is said that Miaoxin Palace behaved improperly and had no control over the situation. It allowed its subordinates to attack and kill the royal censor and disturb the Guyouxian Sect. The current headmaster Wei Zhengxing was ordered to abdicate and go into seclusion. The name of the Wei family in Ironwood Mountain was wiped out.

No., separate each branch."

Lin Xiao frowned slightly. "So fast?"

In fact, Lin Xiao was not surprised at the severity of the punishment.
