one of my alchemist friends

Chapter 8

looking at him.

"Who hit me?" Zhou Yingque's heart ached for his lover's indifference, he had a headache and a sore face.A young man emerged from the crowd, neither humble nor overbearing, with a calm demeanor, and, moreover, good-looking.

"Junior Mo Chengkong has offended me a lot, senior please forgive me." The young man said.

"This old man admires you very much..." He was about to praise this man's courage, when another young man walked out from the crowd, neither humble nor overbearing, with a calm demeanor, and, moreover, better looking.

"The junior Bairan has offended me a lot, senior please forgive me."

"... us."

"Don't make trouble!" said the good-looking boy.

"Shut up!" said the better-looking boy.

Lingjizi guarded the two of them behind him, bowed to him, and apologized: "There is a reason for this, please forgive me, Master." However, "Haha, you deserve it" was written all over your face.

This relationship between master and apprentice is really hard to describe.

"Don't panic, the old man has lived to this age, and he will definitely not be angry with two and a half older children." He asked again: "Where is Senior Brother Qianhe now? Is it convenient to go to see him?"

"Returning to Xianjun, it has been more than a hundred years since our ancestor passed away." Bai Heng stepped forward to salute and replied.

"Oh... I forgot again." Zhou Yingque stood up shaking, "Please lead the way. Apprentice, let's go together to offer incense to your uncle." There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, but there was a dead silence in his eyes.

It was only later that the two found out that this person was a disciple of Liuhuang Palace and studied at the same time as the founders of the various cultivating families. The senior brother Bai Qianhe mentioned today is the ancestor of the Bai family.In the past, the brothers and sisters were classmates, but now there are only three of them: the brother who is obsessed with raising his apprentice, the brother who is obsessed with raising his apprentice, and him who is rejected by his apprentice and raised by his apprentice.

After returning from worship, Zhou Yingque calmed down a little too much, and encouraged Bai and Mo to go back to "Yunshenghai" with him to learn art.

"This is my apprentice." Lingjizi's expression darkened.

"It's okay, I don't dislike being a teacher." Zhou Yingque picked up the tea bowl with a smile.

"I didn't mean that!" Lingjizi's face became more serious.

"Oh." He put down the tea bowl and said seriously, "Don't worry, your position as a teacher will not be shaken."

"get out!"

It wasn't until late at night that the books in Zangshu Pavilion were all over the floor before they were roughly sorted out.Tired late at night, the two simply stayed here.Mo Cheng talked a lot when he was free, and he talked endlessly.Bairan answered occasionally, drowsy while holding a scroll.

"Don't sleep yet, I'll show you something fun." Mo Chengkong climbed to his lap, "Is there anyone you want to see, I'll try to call your soul."

"My father." Bairan came casually.

Mo Cheng had to push him out of breath: "It's a trick, not a robbery!"

"Cough..." Bairan thought carefully for a while, "Xuanxiu."

who is thisMo Chengkong sat cross-legged and silently recited the incantation.There was a layer of white light covering his body, and then, a blue-white light shadow flew in from the window and penetrated into his body.Mo Chengkong slowly opened his eyes, eyes rolling around, crawled back to Bairan's side with hands and feet, rubbed his face against his leg, then raised his right hand, licked the palm of his hand, and rubbed his face along the way.

What's the situation?Mo Chengkong wanted to ask what was going on, but when he opened his mouth, a loud meow pierced the entire silence.

"Meow meow?" Xuanxiu is a cat? !Whose cat has such a name!Bairan, are you playing with me?Mo Chengkong jumped up and down, arched his back and bared his teeth, venting his dissatisfaction, but his body uncontrollably wanted to get close to him, laying on his knees to play with the silver bell on his waist, and turned out his belly for him to touch.

Normally, Bai Ran always showed people a cold face, but at this moment, he couldn't help but smile, his smiling eyes curved, and he stretched out his hand to poke his face jokingly.

"Meow?"

Poke again.

"Meow!" Knowing that he was playing with him, Mo Chengkong grabbed his finger and bit down hard.

Bairan wanted to withdraw his hand in pain, but Mo Chengkong couldn't let go.Although he has the consciousness of a cat, his strength is not small at all.At this time, the beam of light and shadow escaped, and he was still lying on his back on Bairan's lap, his eyes met, and he was very embarrassed for a while.Standing up quickly, the two turned their heads away.

"gone?"

"gone."

……

"I want to see my mother." Bai Ran walked to the window facing the moonlight, as rumored, his son Shuanghua was unparalleled in the world.

Mo Chengkong sat cross-legged again, within a radius of a hundred miles, within four seas, he couldn't find any soul, perhaps he was thrown into the cycle of life and death again.He naturally didn't want to disappoint Bairan, but there seemed to be nothing he could do right now.

rotation

Not to mention that the remaining soul is hard to find, there are even few traces of his mother Wan's Wan'er left in the world: the little opera singer in Wanchun Garden, her origin is unknown, and her name was given by the boss; after Wanchun Garden was burned, Wan'er followed Bai Heng. Moved to another place, no contact with old acquaintances in the theater.

These are all Mo Chengkong can find, even Bai Heng himself knows nothing more than that, let alone Bai Ran?

The inspiration was fleeting.Mo Chengkong was a little shaken, lying is not his specialty, and he shouldn't... Hey, Bairan, why do you look at me like this?Terrible, do you expect so much?Taking advantage of Bairan's inattention, he withdrew his soul and transformed into a female form in front of the window.A good show came on stage, called: Mother and Son Meet.

"Why did you call me, young master?" "Wan'er" put her elbows on the window sill, her eyes were charming and tender.With the help of the moonlight, Bai Ran could barely make out the woman's face: she has black eyebrows and almond eyes, and looks like peaches and plums.Beauty is beauty, but there is some discrepancy with the mother in the dream. It seems that Mo Chengkong is looking for him to be happy, so he waved to her: "Stop making trouble."

The woman dodged back, took advantage of the situation and circled a few times in the air, and suddenly froze, and when she turned around, tears were streaming down her face: "This... is Cuiwang Mountain?" If a low-level spirit like hers hadn't been summoned, It is impossible to break into the barrier set up by the Bai family. "... Wusi...is he alright? And..." The woman stabilized her emotions and forced a smile, "Is my Ran'er alright?"

"My father is fine." Bairan still didn't believe it, his face was cold, but his tone was soft, "I'm fine too."

"Don't lie to me..." The woman panicked and reached out to peel off his collar, but she could only watch her hands pass through his body, unable to grasp anything.

Bairan tore off his collar, revealing a small scarlet birthmark above his heart.

The fingertips and expression froze at the same time, and finally they slowly closed into fists and retracted.The woman curled up on the window sill to cover her face and wept, the sobs flowed from her fingers: "I'm sorry...I'm sorry...Mother didn't leave you on purpose. I didn't even have time to hug you...you are so small and weak, I..." The woman's emotions collapsed, causing her soul and body to fluctuate, and she was almost wiped out. Fortunately, Bairan cast a spell to protect her.She turned into a ray of white light and penetrated into Mo Chengkong's body to seek shelter. Mo Chengkong opened his eyes, and two lines of tears slid down his face.

"Good boy, come here and let mother take a look." The woman stroked his face, obviously smiling, but tears rolled down her cheeks, "What should I do, I'm just as stupid as your father, not at all like me."

A few words made Bairan almost kneel down in shock. He held the woman Cheng's hand and called out tentatively: "Mother..." He was hugged into his arms and comforted for a while: "Mother wants to stay by your side forever, Watching you grow up, get married and have children, but now I have to use other people's hands to hug you..."

"...Like your father, I'm very relieved." Bai Ran curled up in his arms, her hands clenched like a baby.The two are about the same size, so their posture is a little uncoordinated.The woman Cheng had a gentle voice, gently patted him to lull him to sleep, and casually hummed a section of "The Peony Pavilion".

Bairan's eyes were sleepy, but when he heard this singing, his heart became clear instantly.The idiot.An unfathomable smile curled up at the corner of his mouth, he rubbed his head into Mo Chengkong's arms, and buried his head deeper.

Mo Chengkong only thought that he was not sleeping well, so he stroked him a few times, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, mother is here, mother is here, mother is with you."

"Thank you."

Had a good night's sleep.Bairan woke up early in the morning, but Mo Chengkong was nowhere to be seen.Egg flower porridge with shrimps cooked this morning, with green onion and coriander piled on the table - Mo Chengkong has already eaten it.Bai Ying spoke, with a hesitant tone: "Aran, what do you think of Chengkong?"

"What do you mean, brother?"

"Yesterday, the fairy wanted to take the two of you away, and the family will definitely not let you go. As for Cheng Kong...it's up to him." That's the end of the conversation.It is hard for many people to come to Zhou Yingque's family. Even if Bai Ying hopes that he can stay with Bai Ran as a company, she still has to respect his wish.

It was raining lightly in the mountains, the air was slightly cool and clammy, and the stone steps were slippery.Knowing from the attendant that Zhou and Mo went to the mountains together, Bairan didn't care about the road under his feet, and just rushed out with all his heart.

He was in a mess, unable to understand his actions, he was just flustered.He didn't know where to go, what position to persuade him to stay, or even what to say.There was an urgency in his heart that urged him to move forward, to go to Mo Chengkong's side, to meet him.

There were two or three people talking in the forest, Bairan was not a person who did good things, and he didn't intend to offend people's privacy, he just wanted to leave quickly, but the words just poured into his ears.

"Have you heard? Zhou Yingque wants to take that Mo as his apprentice. It's really cheap for him."

"That's not true. It appeared inexplicably, climbed to the position of disciple, and subdued Mr. Bairan and Mr. Bairan. Could it be some kind of demon method?"

"Eighty percent. You didn't see such a big commotion yesterday."

"Heh, it doesn't matter where the person came from. It was brought by the Leng Sect of Huaiyang, on the day of the banquet a few months ago. Hey, do you know what to do here?" A beauty for Bairan. It's no wonder that everything goes smoothly in her family."

"Who knows whether it is aimed at people~ or to deceive the sword~"

The three laughed and walked away.Bairan was stunned. No one had ever mentioned these words to him. Is it unnecessary, or dare not?

Two more people approached, seeming to have listened to the conversation.

"Tell me, what's the point of staying here. The same door doesn't love the master."

"The old Mohist library is here, where can the younger generation go?"
