Leaping Dragon Flying to the Sky

Senior Liu looked helpless: "Okay, if you don't count, you don't count. Do you want to compare?"

The master laughed and said, "Take a break, let's talk later. By the way, you haven't told me about the last time you went to Pingshan."

Although the master seemed to turn the topic away naturally, Xiaodong somehow felt that the master was afraid that he would lose again in the competition, and that he would lose the talent and refused to compete.

Not only Xiaodong could see this, Senior Liu must have also noticed it, even the senior brother turned his head to the side, wondering if he was afraid that the master would see him snickering.

Senior Liu didn't say much, but just said in one sentence: "I failed to go up to the mountain. Although the formation there has passed for so many years, no one can break it."

"I'll go with you next time, maybe I'll be able to go up there."

Why didn't I find out that the master loves to brag so much before?

However, Xiaodong didn't pay attention to what the master was like before.At that time, he was in a daze all day long, squatting by the bridge and watching the stream without moving for half a day, and he was indifferent to the people and things on Huiliu Mountain.

"Your little apprentice..."

As soon as he was mentioned, Xiaodong cheered up immediately, anxious to hear what Senior Liu had to say.

He knew that his qualifications were not good, and Senior Liu was such a person who didn't know how to show affection, so what he said might not sound good.

"Where is he from?"

Uh?

Xiaodong was stunned for a moment, he was waiting for senior Liu to say something of praise and criticism, but he didn't expect that senior Liu just asked such a sentence.

"It's Yun Cong's nephew. You've seen him before. There is no one in the Yun family, so he can only entrust the child to me."

"From the Yun family? It doesn't look like it."

Xiaodong was a little sad.

He really doesn't look like an uncle.I heard that my uncle was very famous when he was young, but later he took him to live in seclusion because of serious injuries and serious illnesses.Listening to what Senior Liu said now, it can be seen that the rest of the Yun family must have been outstanding back then, but he was only mediocre.Uncle had never had high expectations of him, and when he passed away, he only hoped that he would be safe and live for a long time.

In fact, in my uncle's heart, he must be very disappointed in him, right?

If only he could be better.Not much, just a little smarter than now.In this way, when the uncle passed away, he should be more relieved, and the master and senior brother would be less dragged down by him.

"This kid is not suitable for learning swordsmanship. I'm afraid it will be a waste of time with you. Why don't you go back and find another place for him?"

Xiaodong suddenly turned pale with shock.

Find him somewhere else?

So, that means, send him away?Can't he stay in Huiliu Mountain anymore?

Xiaodong was at a loss for a while.

After leaving Huiliu Mountain, where else could he go?Even if the master found a new place to take him in, he didn't want to leave.

If he had heard this a month ago, he might have thought it didn't matter. Anyway, without his uncle, it would be the same for him wherever he went.

But it's different now.

He doesn't want to go.He was reluctant to part with his master and brother, he was reluctant to return to Liushan, the room he was used to living in, and the piece of wood that his brother gave him to hug and keep warm.

But the master didn't speak, it seemed that he had listened to Senior Liu's words.

This made Xiaodong panic even more.

Master doesn't really want to send him away, does he?

Xiaodong was depressed until he woke up.

At dusk that day, Master and Senior Liu came down from Lunjian Peak.

The two outer disciples kept watching at the crossing, and when they saw a figure, they sent a message from a distance, Senior Brother Jiang led Xiaodong and the others, and the three nephews brought by Senior Liu on the other side also followed to welcome them. out.

The master smiled and waved his hands, signaling them to enter the house.

"It's uncomfortable to have such a big fight."

Xiaodong followed behind his senior brother, a little timidly, not daring to go forward.

He was a little scared.

I was afraid of seeing the expressions of the master and senior Liu, afraid of seeing their examining and weighing eyes again.

He was afraid that he would really hear the news from his master that he was going to be sent away.

Xiaodong looked over the master and senior Liu, and landed on the elder brother.

The elder brother followed behind the two seniors and came over silently.The expression does not look tired, nor does it have any hint of self-satisfaction.

When Xiaodong looked at him, he also looked towards Xiaodong.

At the moment when the four eyes met, Xiaodong froze, feeling guilty of peeping at being caught.

Did the eldest brother know that he might be sent away?

But he couldn't see any clues from the senior brother's face, he could only see that the blue cloak on the senior senior brother was wrinkled and a little dirty.

The elder brother nodded to him, with a familiar and reassuring smile on his face.

Master and the others took a bath, changed their clothes and came out to talk to everyone.The master asked them what they had done in the past two days, and how they were preparing for the Chinese New Year on the mountain.Brother Jiang answered in an orderly manner.Master and the others didn't go far at first, and the preparations for the New Year's Eve on the mountain were almost ready.

"There is only one thing." Brother Jiang finished the previous words, hesitated for a moment, and told the master truthfully: "A disciple from the outer sect has disappeared. It has been several days, and everyone said that he has not seen him. Disciple asked People looked for it, but they didn’t find it.”

The master asked, "Which one is it?"

"It's Xu Er."

The master didn't ask any more questions, but said, "We'll talk about that later."

Xiaodong is not very familiar with the disciples of the foreign sect. Firstly, their residence is not here, it is a bit far away, and they don't usually practice together.Secondly, these outer disciples are not idle, and they have to do a lot of work.

But the elder brother frowned slightly, he raised his head to look at Jiang Fan, and then glanced at Chen Jingzhi without any trace.

Mo Chen wouldn't be so concerned if someone else was there, but it was Chu Er.

Ever since Junior Brother Chen was injured, Mo Chen felt that Chu Er might have something to do with this matter, and wanted to call someone to ask what happened, but he couldn't find anyone at that time.I thought that there was indeed a ghost hiding in his heart, but after so many days, he couldn't find anyone, and this person was probably no longer on the mountain.

Did he leave Huiliu Mountain for this?

What exactly did Xiu Er commit?Does Junior Brother Chen know?

Chen Jingzhi still lowered his head and lowered his eyes, and when he heard Chu Er's name, he didn't make any movement, as if he didn't care about this person at all.

This is wrong.

Xu Er obviously came out of Junior Brother Chen's room that day, even if they had no important relationship, they still knew each other.Hearing that the whereabouts of someone he knew was missing, Junior Brother Chen remained silent. This was obviously wrong, Junior Brother Chen's behavior was too unnatural.

When the master came out of the room, Mo Chen asked Jiang Fan about it.

"Who is Chu Er's roommate? Did you say anything?"

"His roommate is Liu Huilin. I have already asked. Chu Er's things are still there, and he didn't even take away the silver he had saved. It doesn't look like he fled down the mountain privately. But he did have a few days. They didn’t even show up. Liu Huilin and the others were also worried, fearing that he might have stumbled and fallen off a cliff somewhere because of the heavy snow, or else with his kung fu, he wouldn’t be able to stay outside because of the snow and ice outside.”

"Is there anything more about his objects, or is there something missing?"

Jiang Fan shook his head.

In fact, he also agreed with Liu Huilin and the others' speculation.

It is very likely that something happened to Chu Er because of the sudden snowstorm that day.The terrain of Huiliu Mountain is dangerous. Not to mention, there are several steep cliffs in the mountain stream. If you slipped and fell down, it would disappear without a trace.Such a mountain, such a season, where can I find people?Even the bones were nowhere to be found.It is still possible to wait for the spring to bloom and the ice and snow to melt, but it is meaningless to search for it at that time.

"Let people continue to pay attention, don't be careless."

This is true, as such things have indeed happened on the mountain before.It's not their sect, but a hunter on the mountain. There was no food at home, and he came out of the snow to get some game back, so he stumbled and fell to the bottom of the cliff and died. He waited until the next year when the snow melted before looking for someone.

But Mo Chen always felt that the things here were not so simple.

Junior brother Chen usually doesn't interact with anyone, what exactly did Chu Er ask him for that day?And Mo Chen wanted to ask Xuan Er to ask questions, but he disappeared since then. Could it be that all these incidents were pure coincidences?

After talking about this matter, Jiang Fan said with a smile: "Eldest brother should also go to see the younger brother. You are not here for two days. He doesn't think about food and drink. He just goes to Lunjian Peak all day long. He really wants to see it." I'm afraid that you and the master will be freezing, and I'm afraid that you will be hungry. But this time you came back, for some reason, he didn't run towards you, which is strange."

Mo Chen also misses his junior brother.Everyone else in the sect doesn't need to worry, except for the junior brother, who is young and weak, so no one can help but worry.

"Then I'll go see him."

Xiaodong actually has a lot to say to the big brother.

He didn't know if the scenes he saw in his dream were all real, he wanted to praise his elder brother for his good swordsmanship, and he wanted to ask him if his master was really a rogue when he lost in the competition with Senior Liu.

He also wanted to ask... Eldest Brother knows if Master has plans to send him away.

But the more I wanted to know, the more timid I became, fearing that the answer I got would be the worst one.

Mo Chen saw the little junior brother standing by the bridge from a distance, there was snow all over the ground, he was wearing a thick jacket, bound from head to toe, he looked like a fat cotton ball.

His feet creaked and creaked with every step he took on the snow.Xiaodong could hear someone coming from a distance, and he could tell who it was by the pace of the footsteps rising and falling.

"Big Brother."

"It's so cold, why are you in a daze here? Go inside and talk."

After entering the room, before Xiaodong could speak, the elder brother took out something from his sleeve: "This is for you."

"Is this...for me?" Xiaodong raised his head in surprise.

Mo Chen put the translucent quartz monkey into his hand: "On Lunjian Peak, there are only stones except ice and snow. I carved this one with a knife. It's not good. You can play with it."
