Time Whisperer.

"What's your name?" Xu You asked.

"Xun Yin."

Xu You nods and points to the four rooms in the center row, "Which one do you want?"

Xun Yin swept his eyes over them one by one, noting the wear and tear on the door handle of only the second room, as well as the marks on the floor where the door had been scraped, and said, "The third room."

Xu You nodded and said, "Good." This left only the two rooms on the side empty.

She leads Xun Yin into the house and pushes open the door to the third room, where the smell of stifling dust hits her, and the room looks dusty because of all the dust that has accumulated.

Room spacious, the right half of the bed, tables, chairs, cabinets, etc., the left half of the bookcase with a few cases of books and other books, apparently a combination of rest and reading, but also reveals the heartbreaking sense of rusticity of the hard work of reading.

Seeing Xun Yin pulling up his sleeves, he looked like he was going to clean up the darkness and the sun and the moon with his injuries.

"Wait," Xu You said, "I've lived alone on this Zhongling Mountain for centuries, and some of the rooms are unused, so ......"

She searched her mind for the life skills she had learned, so she lifted her hand and did a trick, sweeping the room clean, and then looked at the dirty Xun Yin, Xu You gave him a purification trick, and he was immediately clean and fresh from head to toe.

Xu You lamented, "Wouldn't it be nice to live like this, it's so hassle-free.

Xu You: "You go in and sit down, no need to be formal, I'll get the medicine."

Xu You think you live in a simple, that is because of the simple and poor aspirations, but she, as the master of the house, good good goods certainly not lack, not to mention the healing potion, that kind of what to enhance the cultivation of the name of a very awesome potion must be quite a lot.

Who knew that she had rummaged through the box for a long time, but froze and found only one ointment, or a broken box dug out in the corner scrap.

Xu You falls into unprecedented contemplation, remembering exactly how the original body got to where she is today - because the original body was so powerful that almost no one could hurt her, so no medicine was needed.

That kind of elixir that can raise the cultivation level is useful for people in the middle segment, the cultivation level is too low to be absorbed, the cultivation level is too high and can't work, and the original body is cultivated to the Mahayana level, which is even more unwanted.

The only box of ointment in front of her was still given to her by the old man when she was worshipping her ancestor as a teacher.

So this box of ointment carries a long history of over seven hundred years.

"......"

Xu You ：There is no shelf life for this shit!

She opened it and smelled it, no odor, forget it, it's the only one, so let's talk about using it first.

Xu You searched for too long, Xun Yin sat on a chair and closed his eyes to fall asleep, but as soon as he heard a movement, he immediately opened his eyes and got up, his whole body tensed, his expression defensive.

"I ......" When he saw that it was Xu You, he froze there, unable to sit or stand, at a loss.

Having just escaped danger and now relying on a stranger for everything, it was only natural to be sensitive and nervous about being in unfamiliar surroundings, Xu You ignored the flicker of emotion in his eyes and smiled warmly, "Go lie down on the bed."

Xun Yin dared not breathe heavily and climbed onto the bed almost on her hands and knees.

Xu You sat on the edge of the bed and unscrewed the box, "Take off your clothes first, I'll give you medicine."

Xun Yin paused, he wanted to say that he had come himself, but he was afraid that if he refused her and brushed her off, he would annoy her, so he quickly undid his clothes, fearing that if he was late, he would make her so impatient that he would tear his wounds, but he didn't utter a sound either.

Xu You Seeing his submissive face, he could only secretly sigh, it will take a long time to build a solid trust, but there is no hurry, take your time.

Xun Yin had kept his head lowered, and when he saw her greenish-white fingertips smeared with ointment reaching over, he subconsciously glanced away, his line of sight falling weakly at the corner of the bed.

The hand behind him wordlessly clenched the covers, deliberately ignoring the slightly cooler temperature felt on his skin.

No one has touched him since he was a kid.

She was the first.

Xun Yin secretly raised his head and glanced at her, seeing that her eyes were gentle and focused, and did not look disgusted, he secretly sighed in relief.

"Relax," Xu You said, "I'm not going to do anything to you."

Xun Yin shook his head repeatedly and stuttered, "No, not ......"

Xu You said, "Well, the side of the waist also this wound is also painted, take off your pants."

His body is too many big and small injuries, knife and sword burns, I don't know what he went through, if it's an ordinary child, it is to the arms of his parents to cry, he can not say anything, I don't know if no one to rely on, or alone to be used to stoicism.

Xu You was supposed to be seriously concerned, only to see that Xun Yin had just heard the instruction, reached out and touched her pants, then paused for a long time, her head lowered to the point of almost burying into the quilt, her face reddened into a small tomato, one hand clutched the quilt, the other hand tugged at the front of her pants, just like a small daughter-in-law.

Xu You : "......" Ouch.

She coughed lightly and resumed her serious and proper tone, "I think you can medicate the rest on your own, for the master to go out first to take refuge, if there is anything, you can come and find me."

Xun Yin was so busy that she nodded her head, and carefully looked up at Xu You's face, fearing that she might look displeased.

Xu You was seized by that careful glance, looking at his heart, his dark eyes were too transparent, like stars falling into a ghostly pool, but it was loaded with worry and fear.

Afraid she'd kick him out.

"What are you afraid of," Xu You gently stroked his head, and his voice grew softer, "I'm the one who should be afraid."

Xun Yin was visibly stunned.

Xu You said, "I haven't taken on any disciples for hundreds of years, I can't help it, my eyes are too picky, it's rare to find one with good bones, I'm still afraid that you'll be scooped up."

"No, I won't go with anyone else, just ......" Xun Yin squeezes the pillbox tightly and whispers, "It's just that I'll bring trouble."

Big trouble.

Xu You was about to speak again when he sensed someone coming, "You apply the medicine first, I'll go out and take a look."

She opened the door to her room and walked out, seeing the man in the courtyard dressed in a dark blue fancy dress, she went forward and said, "Elder brother, what can I do for you?"

"Knowing that you brought someone back," Wuli Song said as she looked at her yard, "I didn't realize that Final Snow, who was as cold and unapproachable as you generally are and who rejected people, had melted."

The two of them sat down together at the stone table, and Xu You made him a cup of tea.

Wuli Song took a sip of tea and said, "I told you to take in disciples, what do you mean by bringing people back directly, can't it be that the disciples within the Vulture fairy gatehouse can't fit into your eyes?"

Vulture fairy gatehouse is equivalent to the cultivation world's number one school, parents want to cram their children into it, but not everyone can come to enroll, either in the backstage, or a strong family, or the roots of the bone is excellent, so come to the Vulture Fairy enrollment even if you can not get into the door in the end, go back to brag about a wave.

Successful enrollment and then have to go through the primary intermediate high assessment, in order to become a Vulture fairy gatehouse, but this is only able to enter and exit the Vulture fairy gatehouse pass only, want to have a master to teach, and then have to continue to assess.

Vulture fairy gatehouse The hierarchical divisions inside are gate master, valley master, pavilion master, palace master, and house master, and the corresponding numbers are ten thousand, one thousand, one hundred, ten, and two.

Half of them can only spend their lives doing odd jobs within the realm of Vulture Fairy, and the remaining half, most of them can pass the tests of the Sect Masters and Valley Masters and become their disciples, and the higher you go, the harder it is, for example, to become a disciple of a Pavilion Master, you have to pass the tests of the Sect Masters and Valley Masters before you can be qualified to sign up for the Pavilion Master's test.

The three, six, nine classes are clearly delineated, and to be the disciple of the Right-House Lord Wuli Song, one naturally has a big reputation, and no one dares to say anything about it as he walks horizontally in the Vulture Fairy.

Wuli Song had taken in more than fifty disciples, but Xu You, as the left master of the palace, had not taken in a single disciple, which made those who had passed the examination for the palace master quite dissatisfied, and most of them were high-minded and proud, thinking that they would surely become the master's disciples.

Xu You let out a soft laugh, "Indeed it is hard to catch my eye."

Wuli Song's expression was subtle: "It seems that this person is extremely talented, but no matter how much more, he should not live with his master, so why not grant him a temple pavilion."

Ordinary disciples could only reside in residential courtyards, while the disciples of the House Master were able to have specialized halls and pavilions.

Xu You has a deep understanding of why the world prohibits master-disciple relationships, starting with the Vulture fairy gatehouse, which sets the master's status at a very high level, and the master's status becomes a symbol of power, not allowing for any transgressions, in order to maintain a certain kind of superiority over the Godhead.

"Elder brother, although the rules are set by people, but not everyone applies," Xu You slowly sip tea, "I live in a wooden house, the disciple but live in the temple pavilion, spread the word so that others how to look at my master and disciple two, and I live in this wooden house for hundreds of years, live in the habit of not good will be on who, elder brother you said Isn't it?"

The person in question is Wuli Song.

In fact, their sibling relationship is very subtle, as the most famous disciple of the Grandmaster, together out of the limelight, but the Grandmaster bias Xu You, bent on passing the Vulture fairy gatehouse to her, nah she does not want to manage things, only to split the gatehouse position into two, with a share of Wuli Song.

This let a mouthful of senior brother and sister address, as if the relationship is close, there is a gap that the onlookers have no way of knowing.

"What senior sister said is extremely true," Wuli Song raised his eyes and said, "Even the most talented person has to build a good foundation, so why don't we send him to the Hall of Beginning Knowledge, it's always good to go over the basics."

The Hall of Beginning Knowledge is the place for those who have successfully enrolled in the program and have passed the junior and senior exams, and are ready to take the exam to which master's door to stay, where the old master teaches the basic kung fu every day. This is a concession by Wuli Song, which is a disguised way of recognizing that Xun Yin is already a member of the Vulture fairy gatehouse, and allows Xun Yin to live on Zhongling Mountain. Mountain.

Xu You also stopped going toe-to-toe with him, and accepted what he saw as good enough: "Fine, so be it."

"I have important matters to attend to, so I will take my leave." Wuli Song pinched her knuckles and disappeared.

Xu You swept the stone tabletop, and the teapot and teacups all disappeared.

In fact, after all is said and done, Wuli Song still wants to press her head, let her follow the procedures, Xun Yin does not have to participate in the third level test of course good, after all, the successful registration of those noble sons do not lack of magic weapon magic weapon evening, Xun Yin may have to suffer a lot of losses, although directly send him into the primordial Hall of Knowledge is to give him a status, but in the end, he still need to be his step by step test up, in order to become the protégé of her House Lord.

"Tsk, trouble." Xu You unfolded his fan and idly fiddled with it.

No wonder the original body does not like this Vulture fairy gatehouse, too many rules and regulations, if it is not remembered in the grandfather's favor, I am afraid that the original body early to leave also.

Xu You broke a young leaf on a branch and turned into a green bird and flew down Zhongling Mountain. There was no one to serve her on the mountain, so she had to send a message down to Xun Yin to send food and clothes to him.

--

At night, the stars were low and the night was quiet.

Xu You suddenly opened his eyes, his heart felt something, so he got up and went to the door of Xun Yin's room to knock on the door, no one responded, she opened the door and entered, and walked all the way to the bedside, and saw that he was shrunken into a ball, shivering, his face was white and sweaty, and he bit down on his lower lip to keep from making the slightest sound.

She waved her hand to light the candles while she gently tapped him awake.

Xun Yin's eyelashes trembled and slowly opened his eyes, and only after a long time did his eyes focus and see the person beside him did his body slowly relax.

Xu You didn't ask him why he was having nightmares or what he was dreaming about, but only asked softly, "Do you want to listen to a story, or if you can't sleep, you can listen to it until dawn, I'll always be here."

Fairy tales had been told for several worlds, and she could almost recite them backwards, so she began to tell them off the top of her head, whichever one came to mind.

Candles warmed the corner of the room, a soft, low voice echoed, and Xun Yin lay on her side, peeking at her.

The warm yellow light fell on the side of her face, making her soft brow seem to be tinted with light.

The quiet time suddenly froze and turned into a small invisible carving knife, carving her face into his heart minute by minute.

Time creeps up on no one, and that includes him.
