Chapter 16: The Star Drinking Cream Has Not Been Cold
Shao Heng didn't seem to remember when Xiao Yu left, and until the next morning, his mind was still a little apprehensive. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
He watched the belly of the fish in the sky turn white, and watched the morning sun rise, until it hung high on the mountain, and then he suddenly realized his own intention.
He likes Xiao Yu.
Although cultivation requires the abandonment of the seven emotions and six desires, there are also many people in the cultivation realm who marry each other as Taoist couples, and even in Cunwei Mountain, disciples are not forbidden to become biological children.
It's just that the word love has been easy to hurt people since ancient times, and cultivators who fall into love and resentment are naturally prone to instability.
Although Shao Heng is determined, in the end, he is in love, and he has a lot of gains and losses in his heart. However, since he came to Yidu, he basically didn't reveal his emotions at will, so he didn't show too much when he faced Xiao Yu later.
After Shao Heng found out, he hesitated.
He thought of the reunion under the sun and the moon, the moon was like water, the clear spring and waterfall flowed, like a dream, and the person in the dream even seemed to coincide with Xiao Yu's face.
"Do I like Miss Xiao, or do I like her as if she was in a dream?"
When you like someone, you just want to hold the best of yourself in front of her.
Xiao Yu is his benefactor, and he has never seen the brightest color in his heart in the past 20 years. He looked forward to having a relationship with her in his previous life, but he didn't want to surprise her before he thought about it clearly.
He is Shao Heng, she is Xiao Yu, if the dream is really a previous life, it should not blur her mind because of this.
It's just that Shao Heng didn't realize that there was a little man's self-esteem hidden in his heart. Xiao Yu is younger than him, but his cultivation has far surpassed him, a young boy, always unwilling to have any flaws in front of his beloved.
"Senior Brother Shao, Senior Brother Shao?" Duan Jingcheng stretched out his hand and waved in front of Shao Heng.
Shao Heng came back to his senses instantly, only to find that he was distracted again, and his face couldn't help but turn a little red.
"Hehe, you don't have to worry, Senior Brother Qingyan has a gentle temper and is a very good person to get along with. ”
Shao Heng saw that Duan Jingcheng thought that he was nervous because he wanted to see his master, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and immediately didn't dare to think about the delicate figure of the Yiren, and listened carefully.
"Your master was particularly injured in his early years, and he has been lingering repeatedly, and he doesn't see anyone on weekdays, and every month I go to deliver the pill is basically handed over to Abel. Abel has always been an old servant in Senior Brother Qingyan's family, he grew up watching Senior Brother Qingyan, he is very kind, and he will be very happy if he sees Senior Brother Shao. Duan Jingcheng took Shao Heng to Jinquan Bay, explaining in detail how to get the pill and how to act after going to Jinquan Bay.
"Uncle Duan......" Shao Heng was interrupted by Duan Jingcheng as soon as he spoke.
"Senior Brother Shao, you have also entered the stage of refining and refining Qi, although my cultivation is higher than you, but you should also change your name to call me Senior Brother, I don't dare to be called Uncle Shi anymore. Duan Jingcheng said gently.
Shao Heng paused and said with a smile: "I once heard from the ancestor that Uncle Duan entered the Yuquan Peak in the same year as Uncle Qinghuai, and he is a senior who has followed the ancestor for many years, and the ancestor has always regarded you as one of his disciples. Shao Heng knows that the cultivation realm and even the sect are based on cultivation, but even if the rules are like this, there should still be some attention to the lineage, how can Uncle Shi not be able to afford it?"
When Duan Jingcheng heard Shao Heng mention that Taihao Zhenren regarded himself as one of his disciples, his heart was full of excitement, and his eyes showed a look of nostalgia and emotion, and when he saw Shao Heng's insistence, he had no choice but to say: "Okay, but in front of outsiders, you still call me senior brother, otherwise the people of the rest of the peaks will feel that there is no dignity under the real person." ”
Shao Heng also agreed when he heard this, Yuquan Peak is scarce, and there is no one to support him except Taihao Zhenren, and it is more difficult for Ming Shi, Ming Fei and other Taoist children to go out to do errands than people in the side peak. Therefore, whether it is a registered disciple, an outer deacon, or a miscellaneous Taoist boy in the Yuquan lineage, they are all huddled together, and they are friendly from top to bottom, not to mention any kind of dumping.
The more Shao Heng came into contact with the people here, the more he loved this place. It's just because although Yuquanfeng's life is hard, everyone works hard and practices hard, and he likes this atmosphere very much. Moreover, since he came to Yuquan Peak, everyone has welcomed him from the bottom of his heart, and many young Taoist children know that Yuquan Peak has more inheritors, and they are full of smiles when they walk. Especially today, when he went to the front hall to meet Duan Jingcheng, everyone was very happy to meet him along the way.
Shao Heng suddenly felt a heavy responsibility, and he was determined not to live up to the expectations of his master and everyone, and he was determined to carry forward the Yuquan lineage.
Shao Heng originally came from a small temper and easy-going, but he didn't like to be bound and unwilling to take responsibility, and always felt that he was just an idle county king, with a wise and martial imperial uncle and prince brother, and his parents loved him. But after several years of growth, now I gradually understand the responsibilities on my body.
"Senior Brother Qingyan had already stepped into the stage of entering the gods, and his qualifications were exceptional, no worse than the current Senior Brother Shen, including Senior Brother Qinghuai. How do you know that God is jealous of talents, and the life and death of Senior Brother Qinghuai are unknown after encountering people from Wanfa Sect when he was traveling abroad, and his whereabouts are unknown, and there is no news so far. Even Senior Brother Qingyan is also because of his junior brother, and he also has a conflict with the Ten Thousand Famen, and he has been seriously injured by someone's plot, and his realm is often unstable, and he has never improved, and his cultivation has stagnated...... Alas, what a demeanor Senior Brother Qingyan was in his early years, with a Heavenly Star Sword to shock his peers, he was second only to Qingjing Zhenren in swordsmanship, and even broke into the name of 'Flying Star Outside the Sky'. Who knew that he would fall into the trap ......of the Ten Thousand Laws Gate because of Senior Brother Qinghuai later," Duan Jingcheng sighed.
"Is the relationship between Master Zun and that Qinghuai Uncle very good?" Shao Heng couldn't help asking.
"Qinghuai is young, smart and clever, Senior Brother Qingyan started early, he is naturally older, and he is also very gentle and steady. The two of them practiced together under the real people, and they were already like brothers. When something happened to the junior brother, Senior Brother Qingyan was naturally very sad, and he would fall into the trap of others if he was too sad for a while. You don't know, in fact, it's not only Senior Brother Qingyan who is sad, but the other senior brothers are also very sad, but most of them are trying to find a way to find the missing Senior Brother Qinghuai. Who knew that even Senior Brother Qingyan had an accident later. At that time, after Senior Brother Qingyan had an accident, everyone was really angry, and they were all looking for trouble with Wanfa Gate everywhere. And the two senior brothers, Qing Ning and Qing Jing, even joined hands to kill the Ten Thousand Sects, all the way to the main gate of the Ten Thousand Methods, and almost broke the great array of the Ten Thousand Laws Sect, and let out a vicious breath. Duan Jingcheng seemed to think of the scene when the two of them had one person and one sword, carrying full of blood, killing the Ten Thousand Methods, and couldn't help but smile a little.
Shao Heng's face showed a little weirdness, he had heard Senior Brother Shen say that Nangong Zhao and him had never dealt with him very well, but he didn't expect that the relationship between the two of them in the past was not ordinary, and they had done such a good thing together. The two of them killed the main gate of a big sect, and they almost broke the formation of the sect protector, which is only a great shame for the Wanfa Gate. Moreover, the cultivation of the two real people at that time must not be as good as now, and they can still retreat with their whole bodies, just thinking about it makes me a little fascinated.
Duan Jingcheng saw that he showed a somewhat strange expression, thought about it and immediately said seriously: "Don't look at the two people in the inner gate now, it seems that they are competing for the position of the future head, but in fact, the relationship between the two real people is still good in private." The brothers who grew up together were even punished and grounded together, and the feelings of them were unguessable to outsiders. Qingjing Zhenren has never had the intention of being on top, and it is all others who are coaxing. There are some other juniors who are ignorant and messy and will have to be rectified sooner or later. The first rule of my inner door in Weishan is that the same door must not kill each other, not to mention that the head of the sect does not allow it, even the two real people of Qingning and Qingjing will never allow their disciples to do nonsense. A few years ago, before you entered the mountain, Senior Brother Shen went out to travel because Qingjing Zhenren let him avoid the limelight, and Senior Brother Nangong Zhao was punished by Qingning Zhenren for being grounded for a long time because of his excessive behavior at that time, all of which were like this. ”
Shao Heng's heart was slightly cold, it turned out that he had been thinking wrong all along. In the end, Cunwei Mountain is a major sect of Shenzhou Xiuzhen, and the most important thing is the unity of the sect. The competition between the disciples is only for the purpose of honing the disciples. After all, cultivation is like sailing against the current, and if you don't advance or fight, you will easily freeze in place.
He was just an insignificant outer disciple when he was in the outer gate, but once he entered the inner gate, Nangong Zhao and the others were unhappy and did not make any moves now. Therefore, at that time, the other party was afraid that his cultivation speed was fast and had something to do with Senior Brother Shen, so he would find a way to block himself from the inner door.
"I, Yuquan, have always been alone, and I don't take the initiative to participate in the major affairs of the sect. The first seat is the real person in charge, and everything is done in the first place in the sect and the head, and you should do the same. Duan Jingcheng admonished him.
"Yes. Shao Heng saw that he said solemnly, and immediately agreed.
"However, the first seat has always been low-key, but my Yuquan Peak can't be taken lightly. The first one allowed you to retreat and practice in his Purple Cave was very important to you, and now you have lived up to his expectations, breaking through the shackles and reaching the Qi cultivation stage so quickly, very good, very good. Duan Jingcheng stroked his beard with a smile.
Shao Heng was slightly stunned, listening to what he meant, he probably thought that he had broken the level after entering the Zixuan Cave, and thought: "Could it be that the ancestor actually knows, and deliberately acts like this, so that people can't figure out when I will break the level?"
Shao Heng saw that Duan Jingcheng had misunderstood, so he simply didn't explain.
The two chatted while walking, Jinquan Bay was not far away, and they arrived at the place in a short time.
Jinquan Bay is actually in a mountain col in the south of Yuquan Peak, the climate inside is warm and humid, the environment is quiet, especially there is a hot spring lake, which is very suitable for people to rest and recuperate.
Shao Heng and Duan Jingcheng descended the clouds, landed on the ground, and followed the road to the entrance hidden by the trees, and felt a tide accompanied by a slight smell of sulfur.
There was a half-human-high yellow bell at the entrance, and Duan Jingcheng stepped forward and knocked it gently.
After half a cup of tea, no one came out, and Shao Heng saw Duan Jingcheng's face slightly condensed, as if he was a little serious. Just as he was about to ask something, he saw the branches and leaves at the entrance move, and an old man in a gray robe came out.
Duan Jingcheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Abel, why has it been a little longer today?"
The old man was already very old, he was a domestic servant in the early years of Qingyan Zhenren, and he almost grew up watching Qingyan Zhenren. There are few traces of time on the cultivator's body, but Abel is only an acquired person, unable to maintain his appearance, and even if it weren't for the elixir that Qingyan Zhenren had found for him to prolong his life, he would have even taken a step ahead.
A little smile appeared on Abel's face covered in folds, and he glanced at Shao Heng: "Is this Yan'er's apprentice?"
When Shao Heng saw that he called Shizun affectionate, he knew that this old man was not just a servant of Shizun, so he stepped forward and said respectfully: "Shao Heng, a disciple of the unscrupulous, has come to meet Shizun. Abel, I wonder if the master is in better health?"
Seeing that he had clear eyebrows, outstanding temperament, and politeness, Abel liked it a little in his heart, and said with a smile: "Okay, your master just said that there is a happy event today, and it is really a good disciple." He's in good spirits today, and he's trying to meet you. ”
Shao Heng heard Duan Jingcheng's description, he thought that he would be turned away today, but he knew that Shizun was waiting to be summoned to him, and he was a little surprised: "Really? But ...... Will it disturb his old man's rest?"
Even Duan Jingcheng was a little surprised, and asked Qingyan about his physical condition again and again.
Abel said: "I don't know the specifics, but Yan'er never said to force himself, he said that he can see you, naturally it is okay." ”
Duan Jingcheng was a little disappointed in his heart, but he thought that it would be good to be able to see him in person, so that he could feel at ease.
Although Shao Heng had never seen his master before, he was somewhat looking forward to hearing Duan Jingcheng talk about this master's wonderful past. Moreover, as a disciple, how could he let the master wait for him, and immediately followed Abel into Jinquan Bay.
The valley was full of vegetation, and the further you went, the stronger the smell of sulfur became. The architecture in the valley is not as simple as Shao Heng imagined before, but the pavilions and pavilions are connected, and the white walls and ink tiles contrast with the blue sky and green mountains. And in the valley, the layers of rippling green water are like the softness of a girl, gently caressing your heart, smoothing all worries and troubles one by one.
What a quiet and elegant place!
Even the faint pungent smell of sulfur blended with the smell of grass and trees, combining into another smell that was indescribably pleasant.
However, as soon as Shao Hengfu stepped in, he vaguely felt that there was something strange about the flow of heaven and earth vitality here. He walked briskly behind Abel and Duan Jingcheng while secretly looking around out of the corner of his eye.
There is no trajectory in the flow of heaven and earth vitality, but the talisman and formation can all induce the vitality to flow according to certain rules, so as to achieve the desired effect. Originally, the residences of the disciples in the sect were all subject to simple entry and exit prohibitions or protective prohibitions, and Di Cuixuan was in the Shouyi Palace, which was also within the scope of the prohibition.
But from the point of view of the prohibition here, it does not look like an ordinary protection.
Shao Heng had some doubts in his heart, but this method was secret and subtle, and he couldn't see how to use it here.
Walking through the hot spring lake, Shao Heng and the others came to one of the two-story buildings, where Qingyan Zhenren was waiting for him on the second floor.
Shao Heng once thought about what his master looked like, whether he was as majestic as his ancestor and unsmiling, or gentle and kind. Either way, it is inseparable from the haggard and emaciated after years of serious injury and recuperation.
Shao Heng thought that Uncle Duan once said that Shizun is one of the "Seven Swords of Cunwei" inside, and is known as "Flying Star Outside the Sky" outside. He thought, how disappointed should such a half-life frivolous and chivalrous master be to suffer the departure of someone who is like a brother, and to be closed in Jinquan Bay due to serious injuries?
It's just that there is a kind of person who will not change his original intention even if he loses everything, and there is a kind of person who is still as fragrant as a world even if he is scattered into mud.
Qingyan Zhenren is such a person.
It was a slightly thin young Taoist, his appearance was not delicate, very ordinary, but Zhou's body exuded a sense of leisure.
Qingyan Zhenren's face was calm, and there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth. And his eyes are very bright, and there is a kind of profundity that Shao Heng has only seen in the master. If it weren't for the white sideburns and slightly sunken cheekbones, he wouldn't look like a seriously ill person lying on the couch at all.
Under a serious illness, he has such a demeanor, and I don't know how amazing he was when he was young?
Looking at the Qingyan real person in front of him, Shao Heng couldn't help but think of a song he had heard the rangers sing in the past in Qi State.
The world is insignificant, and the world is proud.
Floating like a dream, how much is the past?
Sideburns are white, young and old, and the sword drinks cream.
It's just that the sky is high and the earth is wide, and the song is a song of the rivers and lakes.
