Tibetan Scripture Pavilion

Chapter 17

The letter summoned nearly a hundred disciples in the pavilion, intending them to go down the mountain with Ziya and Ning Xin to punish the tyrant, overthrow the imperial court, and save the common people.For this, Bai Lian did not say any words of gratitude. He knew that this was a letter of affirmation and support for what they were going to do, and these disciples were the driving force for him to do it.The sun only showed a line, and the mountain was still covered with fog. The door of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion was opened, and nearly a hundred people were carrying bags and holding swords in their hands. Everyone was full of pride and ambition.Headed by Bai Lian Chuze and Ning Xin, they led them down the steps of the mountain gate step by step.

Ning Xin looked at the person walking straight ahead, and then at the person next to him who was staring at the back of the person in front of him worrying, finally couldn't hold back his curiosity, raised his hand and elbowed the person beside him, Chu Ze was stunned , just looked at him,

"Did something happen? You made Master angry again?"

Hearing the word "again", Chu Ze felt very unhappy, he curled his lips and said aggrievedly:

"How dare I."

The person who was angry should be himself, the words of master and senior brother always lingered in his mind intentionally or unintentionally, even though one letter told him something unclear, but Chu Ze still felt that what he heard was true.I thought that Bai Lian was just a person who was cold on the outside and hot on the inside, but he didn't think he really didn't take himself seriously, and he was just a weapon to him.Thinking of this, Chu Ze felt that if he continued to think about it, tears would come out. He sighed, and continued to stare at the person in front of him in a daze.Ning Xin was puzzled, and stared at the white-clothed person in front of her with fixed eyebrows, while Bai Lian also stared at the road under her feet in a daze, without saying a word.Ning Xin thought about it, but still took two steps to catch up.

"Master."

Bai Lian didn't reply, but looked at him inquiringly,

"You and Ze'er, what happened?"

Ning Xin's question aroused Bai Lian's question, he glanced at Ning Xin, probably he didn't see anything.Blinking, pretending to be calm, he said:

"What happened?"

Ning Xin looked at Master's expression, he knew Bai Li'an best, so it should... no, something really happened, it's just that Master didn't want to say anything.

"No, it's just that Ze'er seems a little depressed."

Hearing this, Bai Lian hesitated for a moment, but stopped and looked back.Chu Ze was staring at his back in a daze, but this stare hit him directly, Chu Ze was stunned for a moment, and then there was a bit of complaint and grievance in his eyes, while Bai Lian raised his eyebrows,

With a "hum", he turned his head and continued on his way.This made Chu Ze dumbfounded. Could it be that the master didn't even want to pretend to himself anymore.The haze in his heart darkened even more, but he didn't know what the anger and shame in Bai Lian's heart was.

In order to avoid the official path from being too conspicuous, everyone descended from one mountain to another. After noon, Bai Lian ordered the disciples to rest and eat something.Chu Ze and a few fellow apprentices went down to the river to catch some fish, set up a fire to roast them, and took two to Ning Xin,

"Brother, here it is."

Ning Xin was boiling water for everyone, looked up at the two grilled fish in Chu Ze's hand, reached out to take one, Chu Ze blinked,

"Here, give Master one."

Ning Xin looked at him with a smile,

"Why don't you take it yourself? Master doesn't know what's wrong. He sits by the river in a daze. I used to see you walking around Master, but now you don't care about it? Go and deliver it yourself."

Chu Ze curled his lips, and turned his head to look at the handsome man sitting on the big rock by the river.The breeze blew the hem of his clothes, and Bai Lian sat there looking at the river, there was an indescribable fairy air about him.

Chu Ze walked towards Baili'an with difficulty, as if sandbags were tied to his feet.Bai Lian was thinking about something, when suddenly a wooden stick protruded from his side, and a smoking grilled fish was hung on it.Bai Lian glanced at the grilled fish, and then looked up at the person holding the fish. Chu Ze deliberately ignored him and looked up at the river.Bai Lian reached out to take the wooden stick, and Chu Ze turned around and left.

"stop."

Chu Ze stood still in response, but his heart was beating wildly, a little nervous and uneasy, he was afraid that Bai Lian would say something to him that would chill him.

"Why, the secret book I gave you made you so good that you can't even call your master."

"I……"

Chu Ze turned his head and wanted to defend himself, but when he saw Bai Lian's handsome face, he couldn't say anything.

"I……"

"What are you? A man, if you have something to say, talk about it, and talk about it."

Bai Lian's eyes became a little harsh, and Chu Ze was even more aggrieved. He lowered his eyes and didn't look at him.

"Master..."

Bai Lian stared at him for a while, turned his face away and said:

"What do you think about this downhill uprising?"

Chu Ze looked up at him quietly, thought for a while and said:

"Master is willing...to find the Lingnan Rebels."

Hearing this, Bai Lian's brows relaxed, and he turned his head to look at Chu Ze, and his eyes softened a little.

"I also had this intention. Although the Lingnan Rebel Army is not mature and powerful, it is already quite large among the people. It's just..."

"Master, don't worry, you have difficulties. I will explain to them, and I will definitely welcome you to join."

Bai Lian froze for a moment, then turned to look at him. Chu Ze's eyes, which were originally shiny, darkened a little when he saw his face.The two stood silently for a while, and Chu Ze suddenly muttered in a low voice:

"No matter how you look at me, you are...the person I respect the most. So, I will listen to what you say..."

Chu Ze lowered his head, his voice was low, and Bai Lian stared at him with complicated eyes,

"look up."

Chu Ze raised his head to look at him upon hearing this, and Bai Lian stared into his eyes for a while, then sighed as if relieved,

"Ze'er, if anything happens to you this time, I will definitely accompany you."

Chu Ze's eyes widened, and he stepped in front of Bai Li'an, his breathing became rough.

"Master, what nonsense are you talking about! I won't let you do anything even if I die!"

As he said that, Chu Ze hugged the person in front of him excitedly. Bai Lian was tightened before he realized it. Before he reached out to push him, he heard him shouting in his ear:

"I don't care anymore, I don't care about anything. I don't care what you think of me or treat me anymore. You are my master and the person I will protect all my life."

Bai Lian was shocked by these words. No one would hug him and say that he would protect him for the rest of his life. He is not a delicate woman, but a man with strong martial arts, but these words are very useful to him. In his life, he has experienced many setbacks, protecting himself too much with a tough appearance, but he doesn't know that these words can really touch his deepest heart.

Chu Ze was indeed very excited. He never dared to think that Master would say to him that you will die and I will die. Although he is not sure whether this sentence is full of sincerity or shame, but he heard it with his own ears. I couldn't bear to be excited.

Chu Ze hugged him tightly, even strangled him, but Bai Lian didn't struggle to push him away, Chu Ze calmed down, only to realize that he was boldly hugging his master.The disciples who looked at this side from a distance were also very surprised. Ning Xin didn't realize that most of the grilled fish in her hand had dropped.

"Master! Hug... sorry, it's the disciple who overstepped."

Chu Ze let go and took a step back, his face flushed a little, Bai Lian raised his eyebrows and looked at him, which was overstepped, it seems that last night...he had completely forgotten about it.

Bai Lian didn't speak, and walked back blankly. Chu Ze looked at his back, scratched his head innocently, and walked over.When the disciples saw the two coming, they rushed around and bumped into each other, pretending that they were busy, Ning Xin also lowered her head and gnawed, not even noticing that there was only a fish rack left on the wooden stick.

On the way forward, Bai Lian was still walking in front, and Chu Ze was still walking beside, but Ning Xin felt that the atmosphere had changed. He didn't know what the two of them said or what happened, but the current atmosphere was that of a harmonious and warm family. Looking back at the brothers who were talking and laughing, in the distance with green mountains and green waters, I didn't feel that this was going to a war, but rather felt the pleasure of an outing.Ning Xin looked up at the birds flying away on the tree, wishing this road would never end, and this beautiful scenery would never change.
