Zhuxian Prequel: Wilderness

Chapter 74 Mutation

As soon as Wan Jian stepped into the courtyard, for some reason, the wind that was blowing gently stopped suddenly, and there was silence inside and outside the courtyard.Even Rhubarb, who was burying his head in eating at the other end of the yard, suddenly became agitated. His hair stood up all over his body, and then he let out a silent whimper, retreated back, and hid in a bush shivering.

In the clear sky, the sun was shining down gently, but everything in the yard seemed to freeze suddenly. With the movement of the man in white, everything became chill and quiet.

Tian Buyi stood there stiffly, at this moment, his mind went blank, he just gritted his teeth subconsciously and stood there stiffly, ready to meet the impending blow, but he didn't have any desire or urge to fight back.

At this moment, a figure suddenly opened his arms and suddenly stopped in front of Tian Buyi, it was Suru.Her face was also pale, and there were still tears in her eyes, but her eyes were extraordinarily determined.She turned to Wan Jianyi and said loudly: "Senior Brother Wan, it's none of his business. All of this is my fault, if you want to kill me, kill me!"

Wan Jianyi and Tian Buyi shook their bodies at the same time, looked at Suru, and saw that the girl clenched her teeth, even her body was trembling slightly, but there was no trace of regret in her expression.

Wan Jian looked at Suru, and after a while, he said shyly: "Why, is there anything I can't compare to Junior Brother Tian?"

Tian Buyi gritted his teeth and lowered his head, speechless.Suru shook her head slowly, tears fell down her cheeks again, she said softly:

"No, Senior Brother Wan, you are a genius, handsome and heroic, it's not easy for him to be inferior to you."

"Then why did you..."

"But I just like him."

Wan Jian was stunned, he stared blankly at Suru, after a while, he raised his head and gave a wry smile, feeling that he was speechless in this bright and bright sky.

Suru looked at him and said: "Senior Brother Wan, everything is my fault, don't blame him. Before today, Yiyi didn't even know that you liked me. He admired you very much, and he didn't know how to treat me normally. How many times have I told you that you are so kind to him, even if you want him to work hard for you, he will never say a word more."

"It's me, it's me who broke your brotherhood, I... I'm a bad woman, kill me!" she cried.

Wan Jian shook his head, exhaled a long breath, and then his face gradually calmed down, although deep in his eyes, there was still a trace of deep and inexplicable pain.

He walked towards Tian Buyi and Suru.

A cool wind suddenly picked up and swept across the courtyard, blowing his white clothes like snow, a bit bleak, a bit chilling.

The corner of Tian Buyi's mouth trembled, and he stretched out his hand to pull Suru behind him, but Suru immediately broke free from his hand, and still firmly stopped in front of Tian Buyi.That slender body seems to have infinite strength and unshakable firmness, even if I am sad, even if I live or die, no one can confuse my heart.

If you want to hurt him, kill me first!
This scene is like a wind knife, a frost sword, which always makes people drenched in blood in the vicissitudes of time, but there is no blood. Wan Jian raised his head to the sky and sighed, stopped, and then softly said to Suru: "Get out of the way, I have a few words Tell Junior Brother Tian."

Suru's lips trembled a few times, as if she still had some fear and fear, but at this moment, a generous and gentle hand stretched out from behind her, Tian Buyi said softly: "Don't worry, if Senior Brother Wan really If you want to kill me, no one in the world can stop you."

Suru turned her head, stared blankly at Tian Buyi, then watched Tian Buyi walk in front of Wan Jianyi.His face was still pale, he was silent, he looked at Wan Jianyi quietly, then lowered his head and called out, "Senior Brother Wan."

As soon as Wan Jian stretched out his hand to him, Suru's body trembling slightly, she bit her lip tightly, her eyes fixed on this palm.

After a while, Wan Jian put his hand on Tian Buyi's shoulder, Tian Buyi's body didn't move, but slowly raised his head again, looking at Wan Jianyi.

It was a familiar face, handsome and unrestrained, bold and generous, with an innate unrestrained and uninhibited face, which made people subconsciously admire him.It was this man who led the four of them to fight thousands of miles into the wilderness. The hardships and obstacles along the way seemed to be waiting for nothing, smiling proudly at the wind, frost, rain and snow, and crossing the desert magic mountain.

How many times of life and death, how many times of desperate struggle, blood and sword light, and hearty laughter, it seems that they never stop.

Even the hand on the shoulder seemed to have a familiar atmosphere.

Tian Buyi clenched his teeth, and suddenly turned his head away, his chest began to heave violently, his mouth began to choke, there were tears in the corner of his eyes but he tried his best to hold back, he said in a hoarse voice: "Senior Brother Wan, I'm sorry...I'm sorry..."

Wan Jian shook his head, looked at him calmly, and said: "Junior Brother Tian, ​​you didn't do anything wrong to me." After a pause, he glanced at Suru who was standing aside, and said, "Junior Sister Su is a Good girl, kind hearted, Lan Xinhui is serious, you promise me one thing, you must treat her well in the rest of your life."

Tian Buyi gritted his teeth, wiped his face with his hands, and said, "I will."

Wan Jian nodded, then took a deep look at Suru, then turned around and walked away.

In the world, in white clothes like snow, he walked upright, boldly and freely, as if this trip was just a random encounter, a casual visit, as if this was just a short stop in life, seeing the most beautiful In spring, I saw a red flower that was intoxicated once.

There is still a long way ahead, so he quickly strode forward.

The spring sunshine fell on his body, adding a few streaks of gold to the white clothes, like a fairy, leaving the mundane things behind.

It's just that no one can see the loneliness and desolation in his eyes.

※※※

In the blink of an eye, several days passed by in a hurry, and it was the day before the Qingyunmen Seven Meridian Martial Arts Conference.

In the morning of this day, Daoxuan made an appointment with Wan Jianyi to go to the ancestor ancestral hall on the back mountain of Tongtian Peak again, respectfully invite Master Tian Chengzi to leave the customs, and prepare to preside over tomorrow's ceremony.

Walking along the mountain road along the way, the ancient trees were lush and green. After walking for a while, Daoxuan suddenly felt something was wrong, turned his head and glanced at Wan Jianyi, and said, "Junior brother, why have you been so taciturn lately, but what happened?" Is something wrong?"

Wan Jian shook his head, gave Daoxuan a forced smile, and then said: "I'm fine, thank you brother for your concern."

Daoxuan nodded without asking any further questions, and soon, the two of them walked to the main hall of the Patriarch's Ancestral Hall.

Standing outside the hall, the two bowed to the main hall together, and then said loudly: "Master, disciples Daoxuan and Wan Jianyi ask to see you."

After a while, a deep and hoarse voice came from the dimly lit hall, asking, "What's the matter?"

Daoxuan was stunned for a moment, only felt that the voice seemed slightly different from the previous few times, but Wan Jianyi didn't pay attention to it, anyway, he heard the voice was indeed Tian Chengzi, so he took a step forward and said: "Master, tomorrow is the day for the Qimai Martial Arts Conference. My senior brother and I have come here specially to ask you to move to the Yuqing Hall and preside over the ceremony tomorrow."

Tian Chengzi was silent for a while, but said slowly: "I'm not feeling well these days, and it's not suitable for me to travel far to see the light, so I won't go. I will leave everything to you two."

Both Daoxuan and Wan Jianyi were startled, Daoxuan's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly said: "Master, please forgive me for speaking bluntly. Since the battle between righteousness and demons in Qingyun Mountain, Master has been retreating here for a long time and has never seen outsiders. , There is also a lot of discussion in the sect. After all, you are the head of my Qingyun sect, and the focus of the sect is. If you don't show up, the Qingyun sect will be uncertain after all. I implore the master to think about the foundation of the Qingyun sect. It is better to go there tomorrow. "

Tian Chengzi snorted coldly, and said: "If you say you won't go, you just won't go!"

Daoxuan was stunned, and then begged bitterly, but Tian Chengzi just refused, even if Daoxuan said everything that made sense, he would ignore it.At the end, he even roared impatiently, and shouted, "Get lost!"

Daoxuan knelt on the ground, his face ashen ashes, Wan Jianyi's face was full of astonishment, as if he had discovered for the first time that his master had completely become another person he didn't know.

After Chengzi scolded Daoxuan that day, Wan Jianyi finally couldn't bear it any longer, and said: "Master, how could you insult senior brother like this, you don't know, these days senior brother shoulders the whole Qingyun burden on his shoulders, working hard day and night, It was just now that Qingyun’s family got rid of the decline and regained their vitality. Master, you, you just..."

Before the words fell, suddenly there was a loud shout in the main hall of the patriarch's ancestral hall, like a roar of a monster, full of murderous intent, the darkness was churning like a tide, and an extremely cold voice came over, saying: "Since that is the case, could it be that you two Do you want to take away the head of the old man?"

As soon as this remark came out, there was a moment of silence inside and outside the ancestral hall of the ancestor, and the wind stopped and the leaves fell, which was full of chilling meaning.

Daoxuan and Wanjian were pale, unable to speak for a while.

After a while, Daoxuan was the first to react, grabbed Wan Jian and knelt on the ground, then kowtowed desperately, made several muffled noises on the ground, and at the same time mourned: "Master, master, disciples, etc. This is what I mean. Both of us brothers have been cultivated by Master to cultivate Taoism since we were young, and our kindness is as high as a mountain. Without Master, we two brothers would not be where we are today."

In the hall, there were sneers, but no answer.

Daoxuan knelt on the ground, walked forward on his knees, climbed a few steps to the threshold of the main hall, supported the threshold with tears in his eyes, and shouted to the main hall: "Master, everything is up to you, old man, I just beg you... Take care of yourself , take care of yourself, and think about it for our Qingyun sect."

There was a bit of shrillness in this shout, which was moving, Wan Jianyi watched Daoxuan's actions like this, and couldn't bear to watch any more, so he had to turn his head away.

However, at the moment when he turned his head, a gust of strong wind suddenly came from the hall, cold and fierce, hitting Daoxuan directly like a heavy hammer.

Daoxuan let out a scream, and flew backwards, with a "bang", he fell heavily on the ground seven or eight steps away!
