Chapter 45
At such an imminent moment, Mo Yinzhui took out a piece of jade flute that he had obtained in the secret realm, "Master looked at this thing, did it look familiar to you?"
"Of course it looks familiar, we found it together."
At this moment, Lin Jichen's mind was full of thoughts about how to restore his cultivation. He even found an open space to point at it and cursed for a while in the dead of night last night, but there was no response.
"This half of the flute is called Xuyu. If it is complete, it can open up the void of time and lock Liu Fu in it. Master, has the other piece been seen before?"
Lin Jichen searched all the memories in his mind, but he never remembered that he had seen this thing before.
"Shouldn't have seen it."
He doesn't have any memories about his disciples, if he sees such an artifact, he must have memories.
"You show me."
Lin Jichen asked for the flute, and just as he was playing with half of the jade flute in his hand, his thoughts suddenly seemed to flash, and a blurred picture appeared in his mind.
Beside the fire, a young man in black clothes was holding a jade flute, playing a tune on the hill under the night sky, the mountain wind rolled up his hairband, and under the moonlight, his face was white and glowing.
Mozun said: "It seems that your master seems to have remembered something."
"Master, did you think of something?"
Lin Jichen came back to his senses, and said embarrassingly, "No."
"This flute has never appeared in records for tens of thousands of years. It is already rare to find half of it, but fortunately, with this half, maybe the second half can be found."
If it is really possible to detain Liu Fu as the little apprentice said, it is still worth a try.
Lin Jichen told the senior brother about the flute, and by the way asked the senior brother to let Mr. Baiwen go out of the mountain.
Dan Qingchen had always believed in Lin Jichen, and he didn't hesitate at all in an emergency, so he sent someone overnight with the token of the sect master to invite Mr. Baiwen, who had been reclusive for many years.
Mr. Baiwen practices Baiwen Dao, knows astronomy from above and geography from below, and has a unique way of understanding everything in the world. Once he touches a thing, he can know what happened to it.
"If this method works, maybe the Tianyan Sect, no, the entire cultivation world will be saved."
Dan Qingchen pinned his hopes on the jade flute.
What moved Lin Jichen was that at the time of the sect's crisis, several of his apprentices came back at the same time.
That day Lin Jichen pushed open the door, and saw three people standing at the door.
The heroic second apprentice in red clothes, the fourth apprentice who is a white-faced scholar, and the fifth apprentice who looks like a prodigal son.
Although the appearance of several apprentices has hardly changed from years ago, there are more vicissitudes in their eyes, and there are more traces left by the years.
"Disciple pays respects to Master."
When they saw him, they all knelt down and said in unison.
Lin Jichen looked at the few apprentices in front of him, he didn't know whether to be happy or unhappy, "What are you guys doing back at this time?"
Lin Jichen didn't come back when he missed them, but at this juncture, he might die if he came back.
"The sect is in trouble, we can't turn a blind eye to it." Second apprentice Ruan Hongyu spoke first.
Lin Jichen sighed, "You are a grandma now, stop messing around and go back."
Ruan Hongyu knelt on the ground: "Even if I am full of children and grandchildren, I am still a disciple of Tianyan Sect and Master's disciple. Master has no reason to drive me away."
Looking at the second apprentice in front of him, Lin Jichen suddenly remembered that when Ruan Hongyu first went up the mountain many years ago, she was still a little girl, acting like a baby in his arms.
The fourth apprentice Song Qingyu also said, "We have made up our minds to advance and retreat with Master."
Lin Jichen heaved a long sigh. If his cultivation base was still there, he would definitely throw these people out of the mountain gate.
The fifth apprentice got up from the ground, "I've heard about the sixth and seventh, but I haven't seen them yet. This time I just came back to meet them. Where is the third senior brother, are you still guarding the mountain guard formation?"
Ruan Hongyu sniffed, "I seem to smell the aroma of food, master, Xiao Cangfeng is finally willing to hire a cook?"
At this moment, Lu Hao was standing in front of the stove, holding his face in his hands, and staring at the burning stove with his dark eyes.Although he decided to stay, it was a lie to say that he was not afraid, "I haven't married a wife yet, so I feel ashamed of my mother."
Mo Yinzui had a calm expression on his face, as if everything that happened outside had no effect on him.
Lu Hao raised his head and looked at his junior brother who was always calm when things happened, "Junior brother, are you afraid?"
Mo Yinzhui said indifferently: "Don't be afraid."
Lu Hao has always admired his junior since he was a child, and he is calm in everything. Even now, at the critical moment of life and death, his junior is still so indifferent.
It was the first time that Xiao Cangfeng was so lively. Except for the absent eldest disciple, the other six disciples of Lin Jichen were all gathered together.
"Seventh Junior Brother, your cooking skills are good, better than the cooks outside." Fifth Senior Brother has been wandering outside all year round, has eaten food from all over the world, and is full of praise for Mo Yinchai's food.
I don't know why, but hearing people praise Mo Yin for chasing Lin Jichen, he felt happy. Lin Jichen gave him a big piece of chicken leg, "Old Five, eat more if you like it."
There was a bit of a smile in Mo Yinzhui's eyes. He sat beside Lin Jichen and poured Lin Jichen a glass of spiritual wine silently.
The second senior sister looked at the seventh junior brother who was serving Master while eating, and joked: "Our little seventh is really gentle and considerate, I don't know if there is a marriage, our Ruan family has some good grandchildren."
Mo Yinzhui declined politely: "Thank you for your kindness, Senior Sister, but Junior Brother already has someone he likes, so he is the only one to marry."
"Oh? Which family's girl is it? Let me tell you." Fifth Senior Brother had a gossip look on his face.
Lu Hao also raised his ears curiously, "Junior brother, why haven't I heard that you have a girl you like before?"
Afterwards, Lin Jichen felt Mo Yinzhui's gaze slowly moving towards him, and only heard Mo Yinzhui say: "It's from the sect."
The fifth child asked: "Judging from your tone, that girl seems to disagree with you. You are so handsome, how can there be a girl who refuses you?"
Mo Yin chased with a smile and shook his head, but didn't say anything more.
Lu Hao suddenly felt a little more balanced in his heart. It turned out that such an excellent junior, just like him, suffered emotional setbacks.
Lu Hao comforted her kindly: "Junior Brother, it's okay, let's make persistent efforts and touch her with our sincerity."
Lin Jichen couldn't listen any longer, and coughed dryly, "It's alright, alright, Yinchai's matter is his own, why ask so many questions?"
"Fifth, when will you bring your apprentice and daughter-in-law back to show me? You run around all day, and everyone else has married. If you are alone wandering around, can't you learn from the third?"
The fifth child who was singled out was very wronged: "Isn't this Master not married yet?"
Lin Jichen raised his hand and slapped him on the forehead, "If you don't learn from the good, you can learn from the bad."
The fifth child clutched his forehead: "Master, can you save me some face in front of my younger brother?"
Second Senior Sister and Fourth Junior Brother laughed, Third Senior Brother shook his head, took a piece of food for Fifth Junior Brother, and said softly, "Fifth Junior Brother, let's eat."
The fifth senior brother raised his head and glanced at the third senior brother. His gaze seemed to contain a lot of emotions, but after he withdrew his gaze, all the turbulent waves turned into calm.
"Thank you third brother."
"Haha," the fifth senior brother took a sip of his wine and joked, "Now I'm not the last one to get started, and now I can be called senior brother."
Lin Jichen said: "There will be more opportunities in the future, as long as you stay, don't wander around."
The third senior brother also said: "Fifth senior brother, settle down as soon as possible, start a family and start a career, you are not young anymore."
Fifth senior brother lowered his head and took a sip of his wine, raised his head and said with a smile, "Okay."
Lin Jichen knew that the five apprentices always liked to run outside, so he didn't take this "OK" seriously.
Several people finished the meal talking and laughing.
Lin Jichen helped clean up, and Mo Yinzhui asked him to sit aside, "Master, I'll do as long as I come."
After tidying up, it was a question of where the apprentices would live, and Mo Yin generously gave up his room.
The second senior sister asked: "Seventh junior brother, I live in your room, where do you live then?"
"I can meditate in the bamboo house, can Master agree?"
The bamboo house is Lin Jichen's residence, what else can Lin Jichen say, "Okay."
At night, in the dead of night, Lin Jichen looked at the bamboo forest outside the window and sighed.
Mo Yin chased after him, "Master, it's cold outside, disciple can help you close it."
Lin Jichen nodded.
"Master, are you bothering about Liu Fu?"
Lin Jichen nodded, but he was also bothered by his own cultivation, and the plot is over, why hasn't his cultivation returned yet?
"Master, don't worry, maybe there is a destiny somewhere."
Lin Jichen naturally knows that everything has its own definite order, but destiny is man-made, just like Liu Fu, from such an inconspicuous little person, now he has become a big devil, who can even harm the entire cultivation world.
Who could have guessed that such an outer disciple with miscellaneous spiritual roots could cause such turmoil in the future?
"Master, after Liu Fu is dealt with, can you tell the disciple the answer?"
Lin Jichen raised his head, and met Mo Yinchasing dark eyes, he subconsciously wanted to avoid this question, "Let's talk about it later."
Mo Yinzhui was not in a hurry, "The disciples are willing to wait as long as the master answers."
On the second day, Mr. Baiwen flew overnight to Tianyanzong.
Dan Qingchen said: "This half of the flute is called Xuyu, and it may become an important weapon to get rid of the devil, but it is only half short, and I don't know where the other half is."
"The old man understands." Mr. Baiwen already knew what he was going to do before he came, so if he could contribute a little to get rid of the devil, it would be hard to excuse him.
Mr. Baiwen reached out to touch the jade flute and closed his eyes. After half a stick of incense, he suddenly opened his eyes and took a deep breath.
"Mr. Baiwen, did you see where the remaining half of the jade flute went?"
Mr. Baiwen's old eyes showed a bit of confusion, "This old man has never seen such a strange object."
Then he looked at Mo Yinzhui, "Little friend, did you divide this jade flute into two hundreds of years ago?"
Lin Jichen asked: "Mr. Baiwen, what is the meaning of this? My apprentice is only a hundred years old. Why did I say it hundreds of years ago?"
Mr. Baiwen saw that Mo Yinzhui's bones were indeed young, and he didn't look like he was hundreds of years old. "But the old man saw it with his own eyes. It was this little friend who split the jade flute in two."
Lin Jichen knew in his heart that Mr. Baiwen probably saw Mo Yinzhui's previous life, "What happened after it was divided into two? Where did the other half go?"
"Here you are." Mr. Baiwen said.
