Mu Ban leaned in Shen Gurong's arms and spurned himself.

"Just lean on me." Mu Ban's nose was full of Shen Gurong's breath, and he thought to himself, "I'll get up in ten breaths."

The two of them had arrived at the foot of Liren Peak. Shen Gurong half-carried Mu Ban, who was limp, and helped him sit on the stone steps. He saw that there was some cold sweat on Mu Ban's forehead, so he wiped it away.

As he silently counted "eight breaths, nine breaths" in his heart, when Shen Gurong's soft fingertips gently brushed his forehead, he froze and continued to close his eyes, then counted silently: "Nine breaths...nine breaths... "

That's less than ten breaths.

Seeing his ugly expression, Shen Gurong simply held his wrist and injected a gentle spiritual power into Mu Ban's spiritual veins.

Mu Ban's hand trembled violently.

In the past ten years, even Xi Guxing has not successfully penetrated his spiritual veins with spiritual power, because the Yuan Dan in his body seems to be extremely repulsive to the spiritual power of others. If he gets close to the Yuan Dan, a stream of spiritual energy will explode uncontrollably. It's so powerful that it can roll people out directly.

The moment Shen Gurong probed for his spiritual power, Mu Ban almost suffered cardiac arrest. Just as he was about to get up to stop Shen Gurong, he felt Shen Gurong's spiritual power, which was like a gurgling stream, smoothly enter his spiritual veins. , without any hindrance.

Mu Ban was stunned for a moment, then relaxed his tense body and collapsed into Shen Gurong's arms again.

Making sure that he would not inadvertently hurt Shen Gurong, Mu Ban continued to count "Nine Breaths" in his arms.

After a while, Shen Gurong, who had finished the investigation, retracted his hand and said: "It must be that the spiritual energy is consumed too much. Let's rest here for a while."

Mu Ban nodded.

Shen Gurong was afraid that he would fall, so she could only continue to hold him and asked casually: "Have you decided what to call this sword?"

Mu Ban was still thinking "Nine breaths, nine breaths" in his mind, and when he heard the words, he blurted out: "Nine breaths."

Shen Gurong said "huh?" "Stream?"

Mu Ban: "..."

Only then did Mu Ban react belatedly. His ears suddenly turned red. He coughed dryly and said softly: "Stop, stop."

Shen Gurong tasted it and said: "What a good name."

Mu was speechless.

After resting for a moment, Xi Guxing's urging came from the chalcedony around Shen Gurong's waist, as if there was something urgent.

Shen Gurong replied hastily: "Come right now."

Seeing this, Mu Ban hurriedly stood up and struggled to stand up, but Shen Gurong slapped him and said: "Since you can't stand up, don't hold on."

Mu Ban: "..."

No, I can actually... stand up.

Shen Gurong felt that his disciple could not stand up, so he said very considerately: "Master, I will carry you on my back."

Mu Ban: "..."

After a while, Mu Ban lay on Shen Gurong's back, closing his eyes tightly, his face flushed, and he despised himself in his heart.

The vicious sword - Jiu Xi had already been put under a forbidden spell by Mu Ban. Looking at the scene in front of him, he found it very strange. He couldn't hold it back and unscrupulously got into Mu Ban's sea of ​​consciousness and talked to him.

"Baby, your master is really not dead, and he still looks so good-looking."

Mu Ban woke up from his shame and anger in an instant. He turned into a human form in the sea of ​​​​consciousness, glanced at the Nine Breaths of the Life Sword, which was already closely involved with him, and said coldly: "If you say such things again, be careful I won't show mercy." .”

Jiuxi still had that black mist floating around, and said with some pride: "I am already your master, you can't hurt me."

Mu Ban: "?"

Mu Ban's illusory consciousness condensed one question after another: "What did you say?"

Jiuxi said: "I am your master."

Only then did Mu Ban confirm that he heard correctly. He sneered and said nothing.

Jiuxi still regarded himself as his master, thinking that he was dissatisfied, and still said: "The sword next to me told me this. I sign a contract with you, and from now on I will be your master. You must burn incense and offer it to the Buddha."

He held me in his arms and treated me like a father."

Mu Ban ignored him.

Jiuxi transformed into a half-grown boy. This time his appearance should be his own, carved with pink and jade, and full of vigor. He put his hands on his hips, pointed at Mu Ban, and said: "Kneel down quickly and call me daddy.

"

Mu Ban lowered his head and glanced at him, and said coolly: "You'd better take a closer look at what's going on with that deed."

Jiuxi looked at him doubtfully, tilted his head and opened the contract, revealing a complicated contract spell in front of him.

Mu Ban looked on with cold eyes.

Jiu Xi studied it for a long time before saying blankly: "Ah? So you are my master?"

Mu Ban said: "What do you think?"

Nine Breaths: "..."

Jiuxi was stunned for a long time, and suddenly cried with a "wow". He sat on the spot and fluttered with his limbs, crying and saying: "I don't want it, I don't want it, I don't want to form a contract with a human being, and you actually cheated on the sword!"

Mu Ban looked at him condescendingly and said coldly: "Are you swordsmen so unprincipled? Since you have recognized me as your master, can you still try to undo the contract in this deceitful way?"

Jiuxi was frightened by his cold face, choked up, and then whispered: "I didn't mean to cheat..."

Mu Ban said: "Then what do you want?"

Jiuxi was stunned for a long time. He was also very ambitious and quickly figured it out. He wiped his tears, got up, snorted and said: "You are still the first human being who is not controlled by my inner demon. Simply

I will be driven by you, young master."

Mu Ban glanced at him coolly, not giving him a good look.

"Okay, okay." Jiuxi whispered, "I won't tell you that your master is dead, so don't be angry."

Mu Ban's face looks better now.

After packing up Jiu Xi easily, Mu Ban always felt that he seemed to have forgotten something. After breaking away from his spiritual consciousness, he looked at the surrounding wilderness and thought indifferently: "Oh, it turns out I forgot this.

"

Mu Ban was sitting on the moss behind a boulder, and Shen Gurong was sitting aside and watching him carefully.

Seeing that Mu Ban had woken up, Shen Gurong, who felt very guilty, immediately put away all his emotions and returned to his usual indifferent expression, saying, "Everything is under my control, Master."

"Wake up! Finally wake up! If it doesn't work, I will probably get lost and go to Youzhou."

Mu Ban: "..."

Mu Ban rubbed his eyebrows. He was immersed in the sea of ​​​​consciousness and did not look at the road. He did not know where Shen Gurong's ability came from. He could get lost in a strange wilderness by walking up a straight stone staircase.

Shen Gurong coughed dryly and said, "I just wanted to take a turn to see the scenery."

Mu Ban: "..."

Then you've gone a long way.

She probably felt that this reason was too thin, so Shen Gurong lowered his eyes in embarrassment and remained silent.

Mu Ban sighed in his heart and stood up holding on to the stone.

Shen Gurong said hurriedly: "Don't force it."

Mu Ban did not force it: "My spiritual power has recovered somewhat, so I can no longer cause trouble to Master."

Seeing such a well-behaved apprentice, Shen Gurong almost cried like an old father.

"It's such a shame for such a good disciple to follow me."

Mu Ban: "..."

Mu Ban had long since learned to remain completely calm when Shen Gurong acted out of common sense. Without changing his expression, he led Shen Gurong out of this wilderness full of rocks and trees.

Mu Ban had a good sense of direction. He stood still and looked around before finding a direction and said, "The mountain steps should be there."

Shen Gurong nodded and praised wildly: "You are so good at knowing the way. Master has nothing left to teach you."

Mu Ban stepped on a boulder and almost fell down the steep mountain road.

He pursed his lips tightly and did not comment on this sentence.

The two of them were already among the best in the Three Realms in terms of cultivation. As long as they used their spiritual consciousness to find a path, or jumped into the air with the wind, they could return to Liren Peak almost instantly, but Mu Ban just didn't want to.

Mu Ban always felt that his master had an extremely out-of-the-box temperament, and whoever was the most outgoing would attract his attention more. Mu Ban couldn't do Yu Xinghe's temperament of being stupid and good to win attention, so he could only watch helplessly. Watch him chatting and laughing with others.

Today, the two of them were alone, and from beginning to end, Master only had him in mind - except for the group of children who were competing with him for candy.

If Mu Ban wants to spend more time with Shen Gurong, it would be best if he really gets lost and goes to Youzhou, so that his master, who doesn't remember the way at all, can always follow him and never leave.

The reason why Shen Gurong didn't use his spiritual sense to find his way was simply because he forgot.

Another reason is that even if he finds a way, he may not follow the real path, so he is simply too lazy to bother.

Mu Ban led the way absentmindedly. I wonder if he had unconsciously acted out what was in his heart. Instead of leading the way to the right path, he accidentally stumbled into a tomb.

The sky in front of us was dim, and the tombs were staggered. Creatures, whether crows or vultures, stepped on countless broken swords on the ground. Their eyes turned around, as if they were alive, staring at the two people who entered by mistake.

Shen Gurong pretended to be calm, and quietly leaned against Mu Ban's body, saying in a low voice: "Mu Ban, this... doesn't seem to be the steps of Liren Peak."

Mu Ban: "..."

Mu Ban nodded, turned around with Shen Gurong and was about to leave, but when he turned around, the path he came from had turned into a mountain wall covered with moss.

Shen Gurong was frightened by the scene around him. When he was blocked, he didn't even react. He directly stretched out his hand against the sticky moss, and used a terrifying spiritual power with a bang to directly hit him. A huge hole was drilled into the mountain wall.

There was a set of bones embedded in the cave, and several bones were broken out and scattered in front of Shen Gurong.

Shen Gurong: "..."
