Chong Zi - Chapter 36 : Tianshan Snow

His white clothes were stained red by the blood he had spat out. The severe pain gradually subsided. Chongzi quickly felt that his teacher was passing on his spiritual power for him, and the sweetness in his heart was secretly opened.

In memory, his teacher never hugged him.

He liked it very much, very stable, very relieved, when Chongzi saw him, he should not be afraid of anything.

Teacher smells so good...

Chongzi sniffed softly, opened his eyes, and saw a soft chin line, thin lips tightly pressed together, and a few strands of long black hair hanging in front of his eyes.

For some reason, Chongzi was a little embarrassed, and quickly buried his face in his chest, and called "Master" in a muffled voice.

No response.

Is he mad? Chongzi pursed his lips and said softly: "Disciple knows his mistake. Master don't be angry."

"Knowing what's wrong, knowing what's wrong," but every time he always does something big that surprises him! Luo Yinfan had planned to seriously scold him, but seeing his seriously injured appearance, he couldn't bear to scold him anymore, he only had a cold face.

"Teacher?"

"Teacher..."

...

Struck by chest pain, Chongzi coughed.

With his arms tightly clenched, Luo Yinfan finally looked at him, helpless, "Let's go back and talk about it later."

Chongzi blinked and said, "As long as Master is not angry. This disciple is willing to be punished."

Luo Yinfan said sternly, "How did Master tell you to come before Master entered the gate? Do you know what's wrong with running without permission?"

"It's not right to leave without permission and worry Master." Over the past two years, Chongzi has long been able to handle it comfortably, looking at him earnestly, "Master told me to take care of myself, but I hurt myself, which is even more wrong."

This mischievous and cute little student! Luo Yinfan quickly looked away, didn't know what to say, and finally sighed.

The teacher is blushing! Chongzi sneered and couldn't help but stretch out his arms to hug his neck, "Master doesn't want me to get hurt, but I also don't want to lose to others."

Luo Yinfan calmly rubbed his hands, "Master doesn't have a long memory, go back and think about it for half a year."

"Disciple does not dare." Chongzi buried his face in his arms again, laughing so loudly that his chest shook, affecting his wound, and groaning in pain.

He was seriously injured, and his teacher felt that it was too late for him to be punished. He faced the wall and thought about it, but he let her rest in the room.

Luo Yinfan actually gave a gentle tone, "This is destroying vitality, don't say much."

"Teacher, shouldn't we go back to Nanhua?"

"Go to Little Penglai."

"What is Master doing there?" he was shocked.

"Do not talk too much."

...

"Is Master tired?"

"Do not talk too much."

"I don't talk much."

"Don't run anymore."

"I understand."

...

The anger, along with the willful coldness, all disappeared with the wind, and his handsome face returned to being gentle, with a shallow and loving smile.

Always stay on Zizhu Peak, never remember, always be teacher and apprentice, so that she can grow up safely under his wing, act like a spoiled child in his arms, and live happily.

Her dreams were very chaotic and strange. Many faces kept flashing before his eyes. There are his tunya, Wang Yue, Qin Ke, Yan Zhenzhu, Yu Du, Min Yunzhong, and many people who are unfamiliar but familiar feel familiar. But what happened in the dream, he didn't remember anything when he woke up, the only thing he remembered was the familiar indifferent face, and the pair of worried eyes that were for him.

The room was beautiful, the tent was embroidered like a rosy light, and the soft sofa was exquisite.

The soft embrace was gone.

What about Master? Chongzi was about to call out to him, when suddenly he heard faint voices coming from outside, hurriedly sat up, gritted his teeth to endure the pain in his chest, slowly got off the soft bed, walked lightly, and moved outside with a difficulty.

Outside the door, it is like a fairyland. A misty white mist, the faint sound of birds singing, strange flowers everywhere, branches full of exotic fruits, and an invigorating fragrance.

Of course, the first thing Chongzi saw was a snow-white figure, almost blending into the fog.

He turned his back to this side, and there was a woman standing beside him. Viewed from the side, the woman was very young, with a pink face and red lips, and a green skirt dragging across the floor, like a pink lotus on a green leaf. He smiled lightly, dignified and gentle, with a trace of affection like the legendary Bodhisattva Guanyin in the Forbidden City.

“He is seriously injured and has a shallow foundation. Luckily, His Highness has taken over spiritual power for him along the way, so there won't be any root cause for his illness. Only some medicine is rare and will take time.”

Luo Yinfan was relieved and nodded, "My apprentice and I will bother you for a few more days."

“In front of Yun Ji, why must Your Highness be so polite. You cannot use your true essence rashly now that Your Highness must pass on his spiritual power for him.”

"You've been busy all day, rest early."

"Yun Ji is fine," the woman looked down and smiled, then shook her head again, "I heard that his name is Chongzi. Why does Your Highness have to be like this?"

...

The topic of discussion between the two never left them and didn't involve other people, but Chongzi was full of displeasure, and his fingers stuck to the door frame subconsciously.

Is she Fairy Yun? Legend has it that Zhuo Yunji, the first beauty in the fairy world with excellent medical skills?

There was no denying that Zhuo Yunji was too beautiful. She was the most beautiful fairy Chongzi had ever seen. A gentle and kind person, in fact, it is easy to win Chongzi's heart.

If he wasn't by his teacher's side and saw him in those words.

Those eyes were like the deep purple that would often be around Qin Ke. Qin Ke was amazing, and Chongzi didn't think it was a big deal when the other girls looked at him like that, but now that someone saw Master like this, he couldn't help but feel annoyed.

Xianmen allows marriage, and the teacher is single. It seems no surprise that fairies would love it. However, Chongzi never thought that such a thing would happen in reality. After all, he had always respected his master as a god, an almighty god who guarded the gates of immortality and neglected the common people. Even thinking about this made him feel like he was tarnishing his teacher's image.

Daily practice was too strict, and his teacher often asked him to "rest early". Now that he has changed the object, he knows that it is common courtesy, and Chongzi still hears it sour.

Chongzi knew that his mentality was ridiculous and childish, but seeing Zhuo Yunji getting closer to him, he still bit his lip and moaned purposely against the doorframe, successfully pulling the two of them in to turn around.

"Chong'er?" Luo Yinfan frowned.

Chongzi called out "Master" in a low voice, trembling as if he was about to fall.

His face was already ugly, and the pain was 70% real, Luo Yinfan didn't doubt it, he rushed over and picked him up, walked into the inner room and put him on the sofa, while saving his spiritual power and him, scolding, "Again you disobeyed and ran- run."

Chongzi turned his head, "I saw Master wasn't there, so I thought Master had already left."

Luo Yinfan's expression softened slightly, “You haven't recovered from your injuries yet, so how can you think teacher has already left?”

Chongzi stopped talking, secretly rejoicing.

Zhuo Yunji also followed up to examine his wound and comforted him, "It's fine. Only pain affects the wound. Your Highness need not worry."

Without waiting for Luo Yinfan's reply, Chongzi first thanked him, "This time my injury has caused Master great worry. Thank you Fairy."

Zhuo Yunji stunned for a moment, nodded with a smile, and turned to Luo Yinfan. The day before yesterday, it was made into a pill pot, which can crack ten kinds of devil poison. I will ask His Majesty to take a look. "

Luo Yinfan naturally appreciated it and looked at Chongzi.

Zhuo Yunji said, "I'll call Tong Er to take care of it here. It's fine."

Where did Chongzi willingly let go, grabbed his sleeve, "Teacher!"

The wise little disciple rarely acted like a spoiled child. Luo Yinfan was a little embarrassed. Looking at the phoenix eyes full of grievances, thinking that the wound must be very uncomfortable, his heart softened, "It's getting late. Let's see tomorrow."

Zhuo Yunji nodded, "I'll go out and refine the medicine first."

There were two people, teacher and disciple remaining in the room, as well as a little male healer. Chongzi was afraid that he would leave, so relying on his wound, he dragged him and didn't let go. After lying on the bed for a while, he said with a stern face that he was in pain, until he was finally picked up and leaned against his arm, and it was completely silent. The little healer was done with his business, so he just backed out of the door.

Seeing him thrown like this, Luo Yinfan was also happy that he didn't leave, and took the opportunity to coach him, “Are you still acting so brave after this incident?”

Chongzi was silent for a moment, and looked at him, "Sima Miaoyuan took the initiative to sacrifice his life. I don't want to fall behind him. I won't disappoint Master like Senior Brother."

He did this just to fight for this thing? Luo Yinfan didn't say anything.

"Teacher doesn't believe me?"

"How come? Master believes in you."

Of course. He would never let her down.

Seeing the pain in those eyes, Chongzi felt even more depressed, and mustered up the courage to say, "Senior brother's mistake is not Master's fault. Master actually has nothing to worry about. Even though he made a mistake and was kicked out of teacher's door, he still has me in front of him now. "

Luo Yinfan fell silent.

Chongzi hesitated a little and took his hand, "Master."

Luo Yinfan looked into his eyes, and after a while, he looked away again, "Teacher didn't kick him out of the teacher's door."

Chongzi suddenly wanted to cry.

He committed a serious crime and was thrown out of the teacher's door. Why does his teacher still like him so much? He had worked so hard, couldn't he be compared to him? He also bears that name. Chong'er!

Luo Yinfan said as his injury relapsed, "Chong'er?"

Chongzi immediately regretted, "It's okay. I don't feel any pain."

He felt jealous but he was really nervous and worried about his teacher now. Since his love has turned to him, let him replace "Chong'er",. Respect him well, and keep him company.

Chongzi leaned quietly in his arms.

Luo Yinfan was thinking of something else and asked, "How do you know Jiuyou?"

Chongzi was also shocked by the fact that Wang Yue was Demon Lord Jiuyou. As expected, Master already knew about it. Fortunately, there was nothing to hide, so he told the truth, "I thought he was an ordinary passerby. But that time it seemed like he deliberately approached me as a passerby. So he must not have any good intentions."

Luo Yinfan heaved a sigh of relief and warned, "If you understand. You can no longer communicate with him."

It was a dangerous thing for a Xianmen disciple to have a relationship with His Highness the Demon Lord and it was hard to say what the consequences would be. 

Chongzi said with a smile: "I've only met him once and I'm not familiar with him. What's more, I already know who he is. So I have to be more careful, and there is no reason to communicate with him. No matter how stupid this disciple is, I understand how powerful he is. Master worries too much."

It wasn't out of worry, it was out of fear. Luo Yinfan lost to him in his previous life simply because he was no longer related to Chu Bufu. Chongzi is too kind, too emotional, but fortunately, Luo Yinfan understands much better in today's world.

Luo Yinfan didn't notice the anger in his tone, and nodded slowly, "Teacher hopes you remember it!"

"Master's words, disciple will definitely remember it." Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, Chongzi silently tugged at a strand of his hair and coiled it around his fingers.

Dusk streamed into the room from outside the window, and the little healer hurriedly walked in.

"Did Master live in the human world when Master was not yet cultivating an immortal?"

"No."

"Where are Master's parents?"

"They are also members of Xianmen."

"No wonder Master is, uh, more immortal than them."

"What's this?" Funny.

...

Long time no see him and Chongzi looked at him.

"Sick?"

"Well, no."

Her clothes were cold and white, but her embrace wasn't cold at all. The soft light sets off the gentle lines of the face, and there is not too much expression on the face, but as long as he sees it, it will be hard to forget.

The slightly locked brows made him feel pressured for no reason.

Such a person, he could not complain that Fairy Yun liked him. Chongzi even wished he wasn't a teacher...

sister?

The ghosts made a mess, and Yin Shuixian's words suddenly came out, Chongzi's mind exploded, and he was dazed at the thought.

Like Teacher? Master and student are like father and son. Shouldn't teachers be respected and served like fathers? Even though he never regarded Master as his father, but Senior Brother (former Chongzi) likes him... The grievous crime of undermining Master's reputation, how dare he, Senior Brother! Wasn't he afraid of being pushed aside by everyone and ending up like Yin Shuixian?

Chongzi panicked and put away his thoughts, and no longer dared to think about it. It took a long time for his heartbeat to gradually calm down.

Yin Shuixian just talks nonsense and is followed by evil thoughts! Which teacher doesn't love his student, and which student doesn't love his teacher!"

As soon as night fell, Zhuo Yunji personally delivered the pills, and Chongzi had already fallen asleep in Luo Yinfan's arms.

Zhuo Yunji was taken aback when he saw this, "Your Highness."

Luo Yinfan motioned for him to put it down.

Zhuo Yunji put down the medicine and said after a while, "They are very similar."

Luo Yinfan raised his eyes.

"Yunji just remembered the kid." Zhuo Yunji looked at Chongzi and then at him. "Too stupid. Already knew that he was wrong, and still reluctant to let go. Now this kid has grown up."

Seeing her frown, Zhuo Yunji looked away and smiled, "I think it's because of the pain that it's hard to sleep. I'll add more medicine tomorrow, so don't worry about it."

Luo Yinfan was about to speak when he suddenly heard a heavy hum in his arms, as if he was about to wake up, and immediately became silent.

Zhuo Yunji smiled sweetly and walked out.

"Teacher."

Chongzi squinted and squinted, his long eyelashes fluttered, his long hair scattered, even more charming under the shadow of the lights.

Luo Yinfan took the pill, "Take the medicine first."

He was confused in his previous life, and even Zhuo Yunji could see it. Fortunately, it was only Zhuo Yunji, but now he is not so worried about his personality and appearance. In this life, he was different from his previous life. More importantly, she no longer relied on him, and she wasn't so stupid. Chongzi heard that he (the previous Chongzi) always wanted to get close to Qin Ke.

A few days later, Chongzi's injuries improved slightly, so he begged to return to Nanhua, but Luo Yinfan couldn't comply and then he thought about it. Since nothing would jeopardize his life, it was futile to stay. What's more, Xingxuan also knew some medical skills. Jiuyou Demon Palace's movements are unpredictable, and the various Xianmen factions will report news at any time. He left Xiao Penglai with Chongzi and returned to Nanhua. Afraid that his devilish aura was too strong, he sealed his spiritual power and ordered it to recuperate.

In the battle of Luohe, due to the intervention of the Jiuyou Demon Palace, it failed. The Jiao King's lair was destroyed, the people around him were already at peace. However King Jiao and all of his subordinates defected to Jiuyou even though the gains were not worth the losses. Fortunately, Chongzi made a timely decision, and Nanhua suffered few casualties. His first experience was rewarding and unexpected by Yu Du and Min Yunzhong, who praised and cheered him on in public. Min Yunzhong ordered his disciples to send Jiuzhuan Jindan to heal his wounds, as well as Tianyuandan to improve his cultivation as a reward.

After being treated by Zhuo Yunji, his serious injuries were no longer a problem, and he recovered within half a year. Qin Ke came to visit him several times, which made Sima Miaoyuan very unhappy. They were both outstanding characters among the new disciples, and they were no match for each other. Since then, they had competed in secret, and the two of them wanted to beat each other in a sword test meeting three years later.

Time flies, two years have passed, Chongzi is sixteen years old and has top-notch skills, has completed several assignments well, and has become famous.

At this time, the Immortal Realm ushered in a major event, and the Xianmen Conference, which had been held for decades, was about to be held again. For Luo Yinfan and others, this was originally a big event for the Xianmeng gathering to discuss, but in the hearts of the disciples, the Xianmen Conference was a festive banquet. Nanhua has been paying attention since a year ago. Of course, ordinary disciples are not eligible to participate, and new students are even less qualified.

There are always exceptions.

On this day, Chongzi heard from Mu Yu that Luo Yinfan had set the venue for this Fairy Gate Conference in Tianshan.

"Is it right?"

"Your Majesty has just decided, there will be news in two days."

"Master didn't tell me."

"How can I tell you such a big thing casually."

"Then... who did the Master and Headmaster choose?"

"I don't know about the Headmaster, but His Highness doesn't have any other disciples, then..."

Chongzi was so happy that he forgot his etiquette and tugged at his sleeve, "Shishu Mu didn't lie to me?"

Mu Yu smiled and said, "When have I ever lied to you?"

Chongzi was embarrassed, and quickly let go, "Uncle Master is First Disciple, is Shishu going too?"

Mu Yu shook his head, "The Headmaster and His Highness won't be here. Nanhua will always have someone to stay with. I won't be leaving with a few senior brothers."

Chongzi was disappointed.

"It's no big deal," Mu Yu patted his head, comforting, "Have fun. After you come back you can tell Uncle Master."

Chongzi had heard that Tianshan Mountain's snow scenery was very famous, so he couldn't help but feel sorry for Mu Yu, but was overjoyed. He happily returned to Zizhu Peak to find Luo Yinfan for confirmation, and suddenly saw Qin Ke standing under Zizhu Peak.

"Brother Qin?"

Qin Ke nodded.

"Is Big Brother looking for me or my Master?"

"I'm going to Tianshan in two days."

Sure enough, what Mu Yu said was right, Chongzi thought secretly, and then was shocked, "Isn't the Xianmen Conference still two months away?"

Qin Ke didn't explain much, "Your Majesty and Headmaster ordered me to go with Xianzun Min first."

Chongzi quickly realized that the Xianmen Conference was a major event in the fairy world. He was afraid that Jiuyou Demon Palace would interfere with and damage him so Min Yunzhong took his disciples to leave first, mostly to assist Tianshan faction to detect the movements of the demon race and ensure the safety of the Xianmen Conference.

Qin Ke said, "Miaoyuan and Shishu Wen will go together. Do you want to go together?"

Chongzi hesitated, "I may be with Master..."

"Your Majesty has made arrangements with the elders. Come back quickly." Qin Ke rarely curled his lips and left.

Chongzi returned to Chonghua Palace full of doubts and saw Luo Yinfan standing in front of the steps, hurriedly stepping forward, "Master."

Luo Yinfan stared at him for a moment, then looked away, "Have you met Big Brother Qin yet?"

"En."

"He will go to Tianshan in two days."

"Brother Qin has said that the Xianmen Conference is really arranged in the Tianshan Mountains, and the teacher hid it from me," Chongzi said angrily, thought for a moment and asked, "When are we going?"

"Get ready and go with them."

"Teacher won't go?"

"Teacher will come later."

No wonder Qin Ke laughed. It turned out that his teacher had arranged it for him, and Chongzi's excitement disappeared in an instant, melancholy and confused.

In the past two years, Master's kindness to him has not diminished. Everyone in Nanhua knew that no one would dare to let him suffer the slightest bit. Every time he went on a mission, he would "accidentally" pass through neighboring towns. He could understand her worries, but for some reason, when they hung out with each other on weekdays, they weren't as close as they used to be, except for teaching spells, he rarely spoke.

Since ancient times, a disciple had to obey his teacher's decisions, but his change in attitude was unacceptable. He let her go first without asking, Chongzi felt left behind, and finally couldn't help protesting, "I won't go!"

"Why not go?"

"That must be boring."

"Your Qin brother is also there."

"I don't want to."

Luo Yinfan was taken aback, "You...don't want to go together?"

"Teacher!" Chongzi seemed to understand something, and his face flushed, "I'll still go with you."

Luo Yinfan was also embarrassed and coughed lightly, "Don't be ridiculous."

"Teacher!" Chongzi just hugged his arm coquettishly.

That little disciple was clearly doing it on purpose, and he would be dealing with him more and more. Luo Yinfan was helpless and confused. She was about to push him away but he wouldn't let go and she was afraid that she would get hurt if she got too serious so she had to tone her voice down gently, "Master still has important things to do. So obey."

...

Two days later, Chongzi followed Min Yunzhong and his party on the road. There are many people along the way. Apart from Qin Ke Wen Lingzhi and dozens of other high-ranking disciples, the only new disciples were Chongzi and Sima Miaoyuan. However Yu Du liked these two rising stars.

There were still two months before the immortal gate conference, so there was no need to rush, but Min Yunzhong had always been renowned for his decisiveness and seldom stopped.

The Tianshan Sect is one of the top ten sword schools in Xianmen. It was created by Ancestor Yuanzhi. When Ancestor Yuanzhi passed Tianshan Mountain, he was awed by the sight of snow. Since then, he has lived on Tianshan Mountain for a long time, and was inspired by the snow to create Tianshan swordsmanship. Unexpectedly, so famous all over the world. (Note: Tianshan is purely fictitious)

However, the first thing that attracted Chongzi was the snow on the Tianshan Mountains.

Cold eyes, and white eyes, only to see the mountainside but not the mountain peaks, misty. He couldn't tell if it was snow, clouds, or the sky.

The snow-capped mountains filled the cloudy sky and made it look even more majestic.

At the foot of the mountain, School Head Lan came out to greet him in person, but because of etiquette, everyone else climbed the mountain instead.

The scenery under the mountain is still very good, flowers and plants are everywhere, and the vegetation is green. As he ascended, the trees gradually became sparse and stunted, and the wind began to blow. Then, the wind was very strong, and snowflakes were flying. Wrapped up, there are ice valleys and snow caves everywhere, the color of the grass, trees and rocks is completely lost, just like the world of ice and snow, where there are snow foxes running, snow lotuses swaying, and the scenery is beautiful.

The weather is bad, but it is the Xianmen disciples who are not afraid. They just feel fresh. They all praise.

The top of the mountain is covered with snow and mist, surrounded by two tall white stone pillars inlaid with gold. In the middle of the stone pillar, the eternal gate was wide open, and it was the Tianshan Magical Realm that no human could reach.

Stepping into the door, the snowflakes above his head became fluffy and light, falling silently, like a beautiful poem.

Looking around, there were thousands of snowball plants, all born in the vast snowfield.

Not far away, a long mountain range stretches into the distance, with many branches, and the majestic and ethereal palaces and platforms are faintly visible, desolate, desolate, and deep in the snow.

This is the first time he has seen such a beautiful snow scene, and he knows that Tianshan Wonderland is well-deserved. Finally Chongzi felt better. He raised his hand to catch a few tiny snowflakes, only to find them crystal clear, a distinct shape, and incredibly tiny.

It would be great if Master was also here, watching the flying snowflakes together.

He was just distracting himself, but he didn't know that the snow field was not as flat as it looked on the surface, and when he accidentally tripped over a tree root, his whole body "bumped" and fell into the snow.

Among the guests in this group, the female disciples considered Wen Lingzhi and Sima Miaoyuan to be the most outstanding. The disciples from the Tianshan Sect watched, and when they saw this, they tried their best to hold back their laughter.

Knowing that he had just done such a shameful thing, Chongzi was embarrassed. Just as he was about to turn around, a hand had pulled him out of the snow. It was Qin Ke.

Sima Miaoyuan laughed unsurprisingly, “Why is Junior Brother so agitated?!”

Up ahead, Min Yunzhong and the old headmaster Tianshan Lan heard the movement and turned around to see that Chongzi was standing there with his head covered in snow and his face flushed, embarrassed.

Principal Lan suddenly found him interesting, and asked with a smile, "Who is this kid?"

Min Yunzhong hurriedly said, "He is a disciple under Chonghua."

In recent years, news of Luo Yinfan's apprentice acceptance had spread, and Sect Master Lan was dumbfounded, "So it's a high-ranking disciple under Venerable Chonghua?"

“Exactly,” said Min Yunzhong with a straight face, “Chongzi, come and see Principal Lan right away!”

Chongzi reacted, quickly shook off the snow on his shoulders, and stepped forward to greet him.

“Be careful, the snowfields look easy to traverse but in reality, you have to be careful every step of the way. Many children have had minor accidents when they first came here, and Xue Ling's disciple back then…” 

Speaking of this, old school head Lan's originally kind face suddenly became somber, turning into a look of regret and embarrassment, after a long while, he sighed heavily, “Forget it, that evil being has lost Tianshan's face because of what he did. "

Everyone knows who he's talking about, and it's hard to say much at a time.

Chongzi quickly understood, seeing that the atmosphere was not right, so he changed the subject, “I heard from the teacher before about the snow scene in Tianshan, and today the younger generation saw it with their own eyes. "

School Head Lan nodded with a grave expression, "Your Highness hasn't been to Tianshan in many years. He had a very good friendship with Xue Ling back then."

Chongzi said, "Master mentions Principal Lan often, but he doesn't have time to go."

A thirty-foot-wide brocade ribbon rolled up into the sky, paved the road, leading directly to the distant temple, and it was particularly eye-catching amidst the white snow. Everyone stepped on the brocade belt and went into the main hall. The disciples of the two factions officially met. Master Lan and Min Yunzhong went to the side hall to talk with tea, and ordered their disciples to take all the Nanhua disciples to the guest room to settle down.
