Chapter 41
Chapter 41
Since receiving the portrait of the flower, Lin Tianze has obviously become busy. Apart from having a meal with him on Qi Tan's birthday, Qi Tan has almost no chance to see him.
Qi Tan was not worried about the direction of the matter, because he had figured out the whole matter from Qi Er, so he was not surprised.
As early as when he first came to this world and sorted out the world information that Qi Er passed on to him, Qi Tan had already expected this to happen, but he didn't expect it to happen so early, what did he think? You have to wait until you are an adult.
But this is also good, if you complete the task earlier, you can return to the system space earlier, and you don't need to stay in this world for too long.
Qi Tan leaned on the bedside, flipping through the books in his hands idly, Lin Tianze was afraid that he would be bored, so he asked Xiaotong to collect these books, not only the information books on cultivation, but even the little books that are widely circulated among ordinary people. The scriptures also brought him a lot.
But now, the book he turned over in his hand happened to be related to the demon cult named Manzhushahua 300 years ago.
The person who wrote this storybook obviously has a bit of writing skills, describing the past 300 years ago vividly, as if he saw it with his own eyes.
It’s just that Qi Tan, who knows the specific situation, is very clear that the content in this storybook is almost all nonsense, and he has read no less than ten books with the same theme. In the name of that event 300 years ago.
Qi Tanquan thought that he was reading a fairy tale circulating in the market.
The script is not thick, Qi Tan quickly read it, and the sky gradually darkened at this time, he put the script on the bedside, took off his coat and shrank into the thick quilt.
Qi Tan closed his eyes, and when he was in a daze, he suddenly heard Qi Er in his mind calling him.
【Senior, someone is trying to manipulate your body. 】
Qi Tan woke up in an instant, but he didn't resist. Instead, he followed that force obediently. He led his body down Xiyuan Peak, and came to a very hidden and gloomy place in Xuanshan Sect.
However, there is nothing here except extremely densely planted tall trees.
That force controlled Qi Tan's body, and after staying in this forest for half an hour, he brought him back again.
Qi Tan's mind has been kept clear, without missing a single detail, but he will not be able to figure out what the person controlling him wants to do for a while.
【Senior, the person who controls you is the Suzerain of Xuanshan Sect. 】
【I see. 】
Qi Tan chuckled in his heart, since he is the suzerain of Xuanshan Sect, his purpose is obvious.
The next day, Qi Tan unexpectedly fell ill.
His health is not good. He wandered in the mountains for such a long time last night. Although he has warmed up a little, the temperature at night is still very low. He even only wore a thin underwear. If he is not sick That's weird.
Lin Tianze didn't come back last night, and he didn't return to the mansion until the morning of the next day with a face full of frost.
The investigation of Manzhushahua did not go smoothly. The demon cultivators were very cunning, leaving nothing but the blood-red flowers, let alone clues that might reveal their whereabouts.
The progress of the investigation was stagnant, so Lin Tianze couldn't be in a good mood.He noticed that he was too impatient, and decided to go back to Xiyuan Peak to stay with his little apprentice for a while.
The little apprentice's soft and kind nature will surely calm him down slowly, but if he is too impatient, it will get twice the result with half the effort.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned to the mansion, he saw a little boy hurriedly ran out of the little apprentice's room, looking anxious and flustered, and almost tripped over the raised threshold of the door.
Lin Tianze lifted the little boy up and asked coldly, "What's going on?"
The little boy seemed to have just seen Lin Tianze, and he quickly knelt on the ground with a trembling voice, "Peak Lord, little brother, he fell ill!"
Although the peak master has always been very kind to them, if the matter involves the little senior brother, there is no guarantee that the peak master will not be angry with them. You must know that the little senior brother is the only person the peak master cares about. What's more, this time the little senior brother fell ill , and they are also inseparable.
It was because they didn't take good care of the little senior brother that the already weak little senior brother caught cold at night and contracted the wind and cold.
When Lin Tianze heard the little boy's words, his heart skipped a beat, he stepped into the room as soon as he lifted his foot, and walked quickly to the little apprentice's bed.
The little apprentice's pale face turned rosy, but the ruddyness was extremely abnormal. Lin Tianze put his hand on the little apprentice's forehead, feeling the heat as expected.
Qi Tan was in a daze from the fever, and felt something cold on his forehead, he managed to open his eyes, and the figure standing in front of him came into his eyes.
It was a bit blurry and he couldn't see clearly, but he could tell that this figure was his master.
Qi Tan moved and wanted to sit up, his voice was low and hoarse, sounding extremely weak, "Master..."
But at this moment, he was completely weak, let alone sitting up with his body propped up, even turning over was extremely difficult.
Lin Tianze pressed his shoulders, helped him tuck the corner of the quilt, and took the soup from the boy beside him.
The soup was obviously freshly brewed, and it was still a little hot. Lin Tianze put the bowl on a small cabinet beside him, picked up the little apprentice from the bed, let him lean against the head of the bed, and began to feed the medicine with a blank expression.
Qi Tan swallowed in small sips, and when the bowl of soup was finished, he pursed his lips and said cautiously: "Master, don't blame A-Tong and the others, this is my own problem."
"Why, are you getting scared now?" Lin Tianze handed the bowl back to the boy who was waiting at the side, without any expression on his face, making it difficult to know what he was thinking at this moment.
Qi Tan lowered his head slightly, his small face was flushed red from the heat, but his lips were still pale as before, looking a little pitiful, and said: "I was wrong, Master."
Lin Tianze sighed and rubbed Qi Tan's soft hair.
"I don't blame you, it's the teacher's fault." How could he not have guessed, he hadn't been back to Xiyuan Peak for three days, and this time he didn't inform his little apprentice in advance how many days he would be away. The little apprentice has a very delicate mind, and it is normal to worry about him, waiting for him outside for several hours, how can such a weak body withstand such suffering, it is really normal to get sick.
Lin Tianze supported Qi Tan to sleep, and said softly, "Master, I won't go out today, so I will stay with you in the residence."
Qi Tan's eyes lit up, his little face was full of joy, but then he thought of something again, and frowned slightly, "Master, it's more important to get down to business, the disciple is fine."
"You're just too obedient, Donghan." Lin Tianze flicked Qi Tan's forehead lightly, "Don't worry, you can't miss anything, the teacher has already decided."
Qi Tan blinked, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a happy arc.Lin Tianze helped him tuck the corner of the quilt, and seeing that the little apprentice was a little drowsy due to the effect of the soup, he stopped disturbing him and left the little apprentice's room.
After returning to his room, Lin Tianze took out a neatly folded piece of paper from his arms and flipped through it carefully.
What is written on the paper is the relevant information he has collected in the past few days. He has studied it many times, but he has not gained anything.
As time passed, Qi Tan might be seriously ill, or maybe the decoction was too effective, so he slept for a whole day, and there was no sign of waking up at night.
Lin Tianze asked the little boy to prepare food, cast a warming spell around the rice bowl, and placed it on Qi Tan's bedside, so that Qi Tan would not be hungry when he woke up, but he couldn't see the food.
At night, Lin Tianze put away the papers he had studied all day, sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes and meditated.
At his level of cultivation, he no longer needs to sleep like ordinary people, and it is more beneficial for them to meditate and rest.
But this time, Lin Tianze only meditated for less than half an hour when he heard a slight noise coming from the little apprentice's room.
Lin Tianze's ears moved slightly, thinking that the little apprentice had woken up, but when he stood up and was about to open the door of his room, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
Donghan's footsteps were too soft, as if he was doing something secretly, so he deliberately slowed down.
Lin Tianze put his hand on the door, and he didn't open the door until the sound of the other party's footsteps had gone away, and followed secretly.
He saw his little apprentice walked down Xiyuan Peak, and came to a gloomy forest in a familiar way. There was nothing there, but his little apprentice seemed to be talking to some invisible person, with his arms fluttering from time to time. Waving in mid-air, emotionally, but did not make any sound.
After more than half an hour, Qi Tan turned around and started to walk back along the original path.
Lin Tianze didn't make a sound. He watched his little apprentice quickly but quietly return to his room, tucked into the cold quilt, his eyes gradually darkened.
He didn't know what the little apprentice was doing, but since he wanted to hide it from him, no, it should be hidden from everyone in the Xuanshan Sect, it would definitely not be a good thing.
And looking at his skilled movements, it is obviously not the first time he has done this.
Lin Tianze clearly remembered that he had never taken his young apprentice to that kind of place, and even he himself had only been there a few times. The yin energy in that place was too heavy, and it was not suitable for Lin Donghan, who was in poor health, to stay for a long time.
He didn't want to believe that his little apprentice would hide anything from him, but he also knew that it was absolutely impossible for a little apprentice to be controlled by someone.
As early as the day he brought the little apprentice back, he had imposed restrictions in the little apprentice's body, and it would be strengthened every once in a while.
And when the little apprentice made an abnormal move this time, his restraint was not touched at all.
Lin Tianze clenched his fists, his eyes dimmed.
What is Donghan hiding from him? !
The author has something to say: Qi Tan: I'm sick, I feel uncomfortable :-(
Gong Jun who is still in the small black room: I want to hug Qiqi in distress, but I can’t do it qwq
