MTL - After Being Betrayed, The Immortal Master Ran Away With The Demon Venerable-Chapter 1 Lantern

Ming Guangzong has rained again these days. It seems that the cloud is always shrouded in this mountain peak. In the late summer and early autumn, the feathers of the birds swept the sky low, swept over the raised eaves, and landed on Yi Ning's fingertips. .

Today is his first day out.

Yi Ning is often reluctant to talk, and since that person came, he has become even more taciturn.

This is Yunqing Mountain, a peak that the sect head had created by himself before he went out to travel. It was originally only for Yi Ning to live in, but he took in his apprentice Gong Xiuxian, and they became two people. Later, the apprentice's childhood sweetheart Liu Rugeng went up the mountain to seek refuge, and it became a three-person residence.

The birds gathered their wings and tamely pecked the food in Yi Ning's palm. Yi Ning looked at it calmly, and her heart just calmed down when she heard Liu Rugeng's cheerful laughter coming from inside the hall, as if she intended to spread the voice outside the hall: "Xiuxian, today is the Lantern Festival, let's go down the mountain to buy some lanterns and come back. Bar."

Yi Ning felt a little irritable for no reason.

Gong Xiuxian is Yi Ning's only apprentice and also Yi Ning's Taoist companion. Although they are not yet married, they have indeed already communicated with each other.

Yi Ning doesn't know what it is now.

Since Liu Rugeng came, he and Gong Xiuxian seemed to be separated by something. For example, he didn't know what the Lantern Festival was, didn't know the story of their childhood, and didn't understand why they were so lively.

"Okay, then I'll go and ask Master to go with me." Yi Ning heard Gong Xiuxian's voice, which was warm and sweet, as gentle and elegant as his people.

Hearing his words, Yi Ning's expression finally fluctuated, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, but his eyes still fell on the bird.

Gong Xiuxian walked out of the hall, his palms were wide and warm, gently placed on Yi Ning's shoulders, and said softly, "Master, today is the Lantern Festival, let's go down the mountain to set the lanterns together."

The bird was startled by his arrival, Yi Ning's eyes narrowed slightly, just as he was about to say something, but before he could speak, he heard footsteps behind him, and the person who came gently said beside Gong Xiuxian, "Xiu Xiu. Xian, how can Shangxian like such common things as lanterns, so don't disturb Shangxian's cultivation."

Yi Ning turned his head and met Liu Rugeng's seemingly pure and clear eyes, the other party looked at him with a faint smile: "Shangxian, Xiuxian and I will bring you back with the most beautiful lanterns. Do you think so, Xiuxian."

Gong Xiuxian pondered for a moment, thinking that Shizun had never had such a festival before. He was obsessed with cultivation every day, and he should not like noise. So he nodded and said, "That's right, the disciple was negligent. Ru Geng and I are going down the mountain. Master, let's practice hard."

Yi Ning opened his mouth, but after all, he said nothing, nodded slightly and agreed.

He really doesn't like to be lively, but occasionally he wants to be lively.

Liu Rugeng happily chatted in Gong Xiuxian's ear, telling the joy of putting lanterns together when they were young. Gong Xiuxian also seemed to be recalled by Liu Rugeng, who made him laugh constantly.

Yi Ning felt that he couldn't listen anymore, his heart felt like a stone was blocked, it was so hard and heavy that he couldn't breathe.

It was almost dusk, and as soon as the two left, Yunqing Mountain fell silent. Yi Ning was standing under the eaves, and suddenly the thought of chatting with people came into being.

He wanted to ask, what is the Lantern Festival. Living in Yunqing Mountain since childhood, Yi Ning did not understand the things in the world.

But this huge Ming Guangzong, it seems that everyone respects him as an immortal, but in fact Yi Ning has no acquaintance at all.

Maybe there's still someone to talk to. Yi Ning's feet unknowingly walked to the cliff of the back mountain.

The cliff at the back of Yunqing Mountain is exceptionally steep. Only Yi Ning knew that there was a cave on the cliff, which was filled with the formation he used to keep the demons in.

Yi Ning jumped and fell into the entrance of the cave. His clothes flew over, as if he brought in some rain and mist from outside, awakening the people who were sleeping in the formation.

To be exact, it's a monster.

"What are you doing here?" The man was heavily shackled, and his body was full of blood, but his eyes were lazy and casual, staring at Yi Ning's figure like a wild beast hiding in the dark sizing its prey.

Yi Ning stepped into the formation, stood in front of the other party and looked at him quietly, and said, "Yan Xuan."

This is his name, Yan Xuan has not heard his own name for a long time. He raised his eyelids slightly, and said calmly, "What are you doing?" Normally, Yi Ning would not come to see him, maybe just to reinforce the formation and seal.

After Yi Ning finished speaking, he fell silent again. But he really wanted to know what the Lantern Festival was. If so, next time Gong Xiuxian brought it up, he would have something to say.

"Do you know what the Lantern Festival is?" Yi Ning's expression was light, and his tone seemed to be casual.

Yan Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then said strangely, "Ask what to do." Could it be that this is a new spell related to lanterns? Yi Ning always has those strange spells to deal with him.

Seeing his answer, Yi Ning sighed softly, stood up and said, "It's fine if you don't know." He knew how could a demon like Yan Xuan know what the Lantern Festival was. He took it for granted.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Yan Xuan suddenly said, "Put the lanterns and pray for the day." After speaking, he looked away from Yi Ning a little uncomfortably, and rarely said anything cynical. But Yi Ning didn't notice his expression.

Are you praying? Yi Ning stood in the same place, and his thoughts began to fly to the horizon. After a long time, he slowly said, "I see." Then he turned around and left the cave.

Yi Ning walked very fast and didn't give Yan Xuan any other chance to speak. Yan Xuan gritted his teeth angrily, and when he struggled hard, the electric whip on the heavy yoke immediately electrocuted his wrist to blacken.

One day, one day... Yan Xuan closed his eyes.

Gong Xiuxian and the others came back very late. The two carried lanterns along the way from the age of eight to the age of eighteen, from the tragedy of the Gong family back then to how well the master treats him now.

Liu Rugeng listened and listened, her pupils dimmed a bit, but she still agreed with her softly, saying, "Fortunately, I was rescued by Shang Xian, otherwise I really don't know where to go to see you."

Speaking of the Gong family, Gong Xiuxian kept silent. Back then, his parents were poisoned by thieves, and he was the only one who survived because he ate less and was not poisoned too deeply. In order to take revenge and cultivate, he climbed the 990-step ladder of Ming Guangzong, and almost died on the way. At that time, it was Yi Ning who saved him.

"Don't be sad, I will accompany you in the future, and I will never leave you alone again." Liu Rugeng's body was quietly attached to Gong Xiuxian. Although it was the end of summer, the wind had already cooled down, and the two of them were warm The body temperature is leaning against one place, and even the air seems to be a little warmer.

Gong Xiuxian was a little moved, showing a calm smile and said: "Ru Geng, Master and I will always be with you, and you will never be bullied again." Liu Rugeng used to be Gong Xiuxian's baby boy. Attendant, later Gong Xiuxian left, Liu Rugeng was tainted by the palace housekeeper, and had no choice but to go to Gong Xiuxian.

On Yunqing Mountain, he has lived for half a month.

"Thank you, Xiuxian." Liu Rugeng deliberately raised the lantern gently, reflecting his pretty face. At this moment, with tears in his eyes, he looked at Gong Xiuxian affectionately.

Gong Xiuxian didn't notice anything, but felt that Liu Rugeng was really pitiful. But when I saw the lantern, I suddenly remembered: "It's broken, I forgot to bring a lantern for Master, Ru Geng, you go back first, I'll go down the mountain and buy another one for Master."

Just as he was about to leave, Liu Rugeng pulled his sleeve and heard him say, "It's been raining and slippery recently, don't take the mountain road again. I have an extra one here. Give it to Master first, not to mention that I can let go of the lanterns with you today. , I'm already very content." He said very earnestly, Gong Xiuxian couldn't help but soften his heart and said: "Ru Geng, you are so considerate, I thank you for the master."

Liu Rugeng smiled lightly and said nothing.

The sky was covered with an inky blue curtain, and a few sparse stars hung on the curtain, and a water-blue shadow stood below it, like a quiet picture scroll.

Yi Ning always likes to wear aqua blue. Gong Xiuxian saw Yi Ning waiting in front of the mountain gate at a glance, and hurriedly ran to Yi Ning, and said with some concern, "It's been cold recently, why did Master wear so little clothes and come out again, how long have you been waiting?"

Yi Ning listened to his words, his expression was a little loose, and he said in a low voice: "It won't be long." It's just been from dusk until now.

"That's good," Gong Xiuxian believed easily, and said softly: "The night market is lively, if Geng wants to play for a while, it will delay the time."

Listening to what he said, Liu Rugeng looked annoyed, grabbed Gong Xiuxian's arm and beat him and said, "You also said that you were having a good time too, who pulled me to guess at the riddle booth? Half an hour of riddles?" The two naturally quarreled, Gong Xiuxian did not reject each other's contact, and the laughter rushed into Yi Ning's eardrums, so harsh.

He suddenly wanted to go back to rest.

"By the way, Shangxian, the two of us had so much fun that we forgot about the lantern." Liu Rugeng frowned as if he had just remembered it, "If you don't mind, buy Xiuxian for me. Put down the lanterns."

Yi Ning paused as he walked back. He turned to look at the lantern, the paper-cut pattern of bright pink, with a red candle in it, which was about to burn out.

Beautiful indeed. Yi Ning raised his eyes to look at Gong Xiuxian. The other party seemed to be looking forward to his acceptance. Liu Rugeng held the lamp with a bright smile and stood beside Gong Xiuxian.

"Keep it, I don't like it." Yi Ning couldn't describe the weird feeling in his heart, he only knew that he didn't want it. What is he, like a jealous woman? Yi Ning felt a little sick.

Gong Xiuxian and Liu Rugeng's smiles froze on their faces. Gong Xiuxian realized that Shizun was in a bad mood, and immediately leaned over and asked, "Master, what's the matter with you."

"I'm fine, I'm just tired." Yi Ning's expression was light, he didn't want to admit that he thought the candlelight of the lamp was very dazzling, and Liu Rugeng's smile was also very dazzling.

He turned around and walked away quickly, very annoyed, he didn't want to see the two of them now.

Had a lot of fun, so forget about him.

Watching Yi Ning leave, Gong Xiuxian stood stunned, and next to him, Liu Rugeng walked over with his head lowered, and said in a very annoyed tone: "It's all my fault, I shouldn't have played for so long, I've made Xian angry."

"How can I blame you, it's my fault." Gong Xiuxian comforted in a soft voice, and added, "It's alright, Master has always treated me very well, and I'll be fine if I apologize to him tomorrow morning."

He always thought that Yi Ning could not do without him, just like he could not do without Yi Ning.

Liu Rugeng nodded, hiding the upward curvature of the corners of his mouth.

No matter how powerful Shangxian is, he is not as clever as Liu Rugeng. When Gong Xiuxian left, Liu Rugeng slowly hung the lantern in front of the hall. He asked Yi Ning to look at the lantern every day and remember what happened tonight.

As the night got darker, Yi Ning was sitting alone on the cliff in the back mountain to practice cultivation.

He is indeed more handsome and handsome than Liu Rugeng, but he is not stained with red dust, and there is no fireworks in the world. After all, it was too cold, maybe he should be more general like Liu Rugeng.

Yi Ning thought so, but his brows were furrowed.

But he didn't want to be like someone else.

"Hey, come in." He heard a deep voice from the cave under the cliff.
