Jiu Xuan felt the cold breeze and squatted down subconsciously. At this moment, he looked up slightly and saw Jiang Wen holding a long stick, ready to hit him. The long stick was like a black snake, coming at him. Jiu Xuan was shocked and thought to himself," I haven't made any big mistakes in the mountains all these years. Why is Master treating me like this?”
Before he could think about it, he heard the sound of the staff shadow whistling. Jiu Xuan rolled on the ground and barely dodged Jiang Wen's attack. His awkward movement also stained his originally azure Taoist robe with some dust. After dodging this attack, Jiu Xuan could not help but feel proud. He thought," Master's skills are only so-so. It seems that he is only better at using swords. If I practice hard on the staff technique, I might be able to do it in the future."”Just as he thought of this, he felt a pain in his thigh. He had been hit by the rod when he was careless.
Jiu Xuan was about to rub it when he heard Jiang Wen say,""This is the first lesson I want to teach you. In the future, when you go out, although you can't have the intention of harming others, you can't be without the heart of guarding against others. If you were always on guard against me, you wouldn't be in such a sorry state.”As he spoke, Jiang Wen glanced at Li Jiuxuan's Daoist robe, but his meaning was self-evident. Jiu Xuan softly muttered when he heard these words,""You're my master. How can I be on guard against you all the time? Besides, you've been fine for the past three years. Who knows what's wrong with you today?”
Before he could finish complaining, Jiang Wen continued,""What I said just now was just one of them. The second thing I want to teach you is that you can't be complacent at any time, and you can't underestimate your opponent. Otherwise, you'll suffer a huge loss sooner or later.”Jiu Xuan didn't retort this time. He lowered his head and listened to Jiang Wen's teachings like a good baby. However, he felt that Jiang Wen was acting strangely today, as if something was going to happen. This feeling made him feel a little uneasy.
Seeing him like this, Jiang Wen stroked his nonexistent beard and said,""You're worth teaching." Before he finished speaking, he threw a stick flower towards Jiu Xuan. At the same time, Jiu Xuan ran into the distance. For a moment, the entire Clear Sky Temple was filled with birds. It was really lively.
Jiu Xuan didn't stop until he reached the backyard of the Clear Sky Temple. After he found a random tree and sat down, Jiu Xuan began to recall Jiang Wen's strange behavior today. Combined with the so-called Crimson Sky that would open in two years, Jiu Xuan had some vague guesses in his heart, but he was still not sure. Sighing, Jiu Xuan stood up and patted the dust off his buttocks. He muttered," It's time to go back and find Master. Won't everything be clear once we find Master? Why bother yourself here?"”As he spoke, he shook his head and walked back the way he came.
"You're not running anymore?" Jiang Wen smiled when he saw that he had returned.”Jiu Xuan touched his nose awkwardly and said," You've already put away your rod. Of course, I won't run. Oh right, you said you wanted to teach me a life-saving method. What exactly are you going to teach me?"”Jiang Wen looked at him meaningfully and then asked with a smile," What's wrong, my dear disciple? Do you think that the life-saving methods I taught you just now are not enough? Do you want me to teach you a few more moves?"”As he spoke, he stroked his non-existent beard. Hearing this, Jiu Xuan hurriedly waved his hand and said,"No need, no need. Thank you for your kindness, Master."”After he finished speaking, he muttered,"I don't know what's wrong with him today. He obviously doesn't have a beard, but he's pretending to have one."”
"Disciple, how many years have you been in the Clear Sky Temple?" Jiang Wen asked before he could finish.”Jiang Wen's words made Jiu Xuan tremble all over and he thought to himself, Could it be that my guess was right?”Although he had his own thoughts, Jiu Xuan was still not sure. He bowed respectfully to Jiang Wen and said,"It has been three years."”Upon hearing this, Jiang Wen looked at Jiu Xuan carefully, then sighed and said," Yes, it's been three years. You've grown a lot in these three years. Now you're like an adult. You should be sixteen years old this year."”Jiu Xuan nodded and said,"Yes, I just turned sixteen this year."”Jiang Wen's abnormal words made Jiu Xuan feel that his guess might come true. For a moment, he couldn't help but feel a little sad, and his eyes turned slightly red.
Seeing him like this, Jiang Wen sighed again and stroked Jiuxuan's head." My dear disciple, you will be an adult in another year according to the secular world. You can get married and have children after the coming of age ceremony. Therefore, you should go down the mountain and make a living. After all, I can't protect you for a lifetime. Besides, you can only walk your own path in the future.”
Before Jiang Wen could finish speaking, Jiu Xuan had already said with tears in his eyes,""I don't know what disciple did wrong, but as long as master says so, I can change. I will never steal your roasted wild rabbits again, I won't put too much salt on your scones, I won't touch your precious sword again, I won't use it to cut down trees.”
Looking at Jiuxuan who was crying and nagging, Jiang Wen's heart tightened and he thought to himself,'He's still a child after all.”He rubbed Jiu Xuan's head and patted his back.""Silly disciple, how could I not want you? The reason why I didn't teach you divine arts and spells all these years and only taught you various theories and unorthodox techniques wasn't because I was hiding something. On the one hand, I'm teaching you this so that you can have an easier time on the path of creating your own cultivation technique in the future. On the other hand, it's because you have your own opportunity. Now that the opportunity has arrived, you should leave the mountain.”
Hearing what his master said to him, Jiu Xuan asked with red eyes,"Master, will I never see you again after I leave the mountain?”After saying that, he stared at Jiang Wen. Seeing Jiuxuan like this, Jiang Wen felt a warm current flowing through his heart. He gently wiped the tears on Jiuxuan's face and said to him with a smile,""My silly disciple, how can you not see me? This Blue Cloud Temple will always be your home. Even if I'm not in the Blue Cloud Temple, you can look for me when you succeed in your cultivation.”Jiang Wen's words seemed to reassure Jiu Xuan. He said mischievously,""Then I will obey your orders."
"Master, what is the use of this Splendid Landscape Painting?" Jiu Xuan asked.”Jiang Wen coughed lightly and said seriously,""I don't know what use this Splendid Mountain and River Painting has. I obtained it by chance in the forest some years ago. Even so, I feel that this painting should be of great use. Although you can't nurture it by keeping it in your soul now, it can increase your connection with this painting over time. As for what mysteries it has, you'll have to study it yourself in the future. After all, I haven't studied this thing too much. All these years, I've only hung it on the wall and looked at it as a mountain and river painting.”Hearing this, Jiu Xuan finally understood why it looked so familiar. It turned out that he had seen this thing in Jiang Wen's room. He thought to himself," Why do I feel that Master has given me everything that he doesn't want?"”
Seeing that Jiu Xuan was about to say something, Jiang Wen patted his own head and said,"Look at Master's memory. You can't go out without money. I don't have much money in the secular world, most of it is in this Universe Treasure Bag. Although this Universe Treasure Bag looks similar to the Universe Bag, the space inside is much larger than the Universe Bag. I have already removed my own brand, and now I still need a drop of your blood essence to control this item.”Hearing Jiang Wen's words, Jiu Xuan anxiously said,""Master, this Universal Treasure Bag has been with you for many years. How could I dare to take it?”
As Jiu Xuan spoke, Jiang Wen took a drop of blood essence from Jiu Xuan's fingertip and branded it on the Universal Treasure Bag. After doing all this, he said,"Do I look like someone who can't afford a Qiankun bag?。”After hearing Jiang Wen's words and thinking about all the strange things that he had taken out to make fun of him over the years, Jiu Xuan believed Jiang Wen's words without a doubt, so he accepted the Universal Treasure Bag with ease.
At this moment, another object appeared in Jiang Wen's hand. Jiu Xuan looked at the clothes in Jiang Wen's hand strangely and couldn't help but feel puzzled. He asked,""Master, I don't know what to do with these clothes.”Jiang Wen rolled his eyes at him and said," Of course it's for you. You can't wear this Taoist robe when you go out. After all, you still have to find your own destiny. If you wear a Taoist robe, I'm afraid there will be some trouble in your life."”Although Jiu Xuan didn't quite understand, he still went back to his room to change his clothes.
Jiang Wen looked at Jiuxuan, who had just changed his clothes, and his eyes lit up. He saw that the person in front of him had eyes like cold stars, skin like white jade, red lips and white teeth like snow-white plum blossoms, and a pair of sword-like eyebrows that added a bit of heroic spirit. Anyone who saw him could not help but praise him for being a handsome young master. As Jiang Wen looked at it, his mind wandered for a moment. He couldn't help but think,'It seemed like yesterday when I brought him to the Clear Sky Temple. At that time, he was still a child. Although he's still a child now, he already looks like an adult.'”In an instant, Jiang Wen only felt a wave of reluctance in his heart.
Jiu Xuan looked at Jiang Wen who was absent-minded. He was about to say something when Jiang Wen waved his robe and sent Jiu Xuan out of the Clear Sky Temple. Suppressing the reluctance in his heart, he sent a message to Jiu Xuan,"My dear disciple, the world of mortals is dangerous. It can't compare to the Clear Sky Temple. Be careful when you're out. Don't trust people easily.”Listening to his teacher's endless nagging, Jiu Xuan couldn't help but cry. During the three years in the Clear Sky Temple, Jiu Xuan had already treated Jiang Wen as family. Now that he had left, he felt very uncomfortable and a little suffocated.
As Jiang Wen of the Green Cloud Mountain spoke, he cut off the voice transmission and sat on the ground, staring into the distance in a daze. There were even some tears in his eyes as he muttered," Fate comes and goes, and there will be a time when we will meet. Flowers bloom and wither, and they will return to their roots. Whether you ride the wind dragon or the grass becomes a snake in the future will depend on your luck."”
Outside the Clear Sky Temple, Jiu Xuan looked at the fan in his hand and joked,""Master must be afraid that I'll ask him where he got this outfit from. He must have worn this kind of clothes to attract bees and butterflies.”He looked at the fan and muttered these things, recalling everything that had happened in the past three years. A warm current flowed through his heart, but there was also a sense of emptiness, as if he had lost something important.
Finally, Jiu Xuan stopped muttering to himself. He looked at the unfamiliar scenery in front of him and could not help but feel a little confused. He was confused about where he should go and where he should start.
