Chapter 52: Thinking Home

"Flowers are not flowers, fog is not fog.

In the middle of the night, the morning goes.

When there is not much spring dream,

It seems that there is nowhere to find the clouds.

……”

Qingyin Peak, a singing voice that seemed to be far away came from the valley and mountain stream.

Mu Yan paused and continued to walk forward.

It's been three days since the meeting with Bai Xue, three days ago, Bai Xue got rid of the demons in his heart, and three days later he came again.

The further he went, the clearer the singing became, the sound was clear, and after the reverberation of the valley, Mu Yan secretly figured out the meaning of the lyrics and came to the front of the singer.

I saw a black coat sitting in the rocks in the valley. The woman in black had a faint light, chanting softly, playing softly, and the tune was slow, which made people feel sad for no reason.

The woman felt Mu Yan's presence, stopped playing and chanting, and said, "Come on, sit down." ”

That woman is naturally Bai Xue. This place is a valley belonging to Qingyin Peak, and it is quiet and undisturbed. It became a fixed cultivation place for Bai Xue. If she wasn't in the Peak's residence, then she would have stayed here.

Here the mountains and rivers are intertwined, the streams are murmuring, the forests are dense, and the scenery is beautiful. It makes Bai Xue's heart feel very relaxed.

Mu Yan routinely sat not far from her and asked, "I haven't heard what song you just played." ”

Bai Xue shook her head slightly: "It's just a song that I have nothing to do, there are thousands of tunes in the world, how can you know them all." ”

However, this piece is not born out of nowhere, this is Bai Juyi's "Flowers Are Not Flowers".

Flowers are not flowers, and fog is not fog. It comes in the middle of the night, leaves at dawn, comes like a short and beautiful dream, and goes with nowhere to be found. Bai Xue thought that he had been in this world for more than 20 years, and there was no time for cultivation, twenty years was just a snap of his fingers, for a monk, even if it was a hundred years, it would not make his face age at all. Not so with mortals. A hundred years may be a lifetime. I am afraid that all traces of myself in this world have long since disappeared in the past 20 years. When I came here, would it be just a short and beautiful dream? Will it be similar to Zhuang Zhou's dream of butterflies, is it Zhuang Zhou? or butterflies?

At this moment, Bai Xue seemed to be a little dazed and a little trance-like. And a hint of nostalgia. But then the heart became clear. The mood seemed to be a little different at this moment.

She came back to her senses, looked at Mu Yan, and said lightly: "Let's start." ”

Mu Yan didn't know what Bai Xue was thinking, but he saw the trace of nostalgia under her eyes. He didn't say anything, just sat quietly.

Bai Xue looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and somehow, remembered the reality of August 15, the day of family reunion.

At this moment, her eyes were no longer so indifferent, her eyes seemed to soften a lot, she stroked Hei Xuan with her hand, and opened her mouth lightly:

"Seeing the moon in the dust is also idle, and it is between the Qingqiu Immortal Mansion.

The condensation is long and cold, and it stands on the highest mountain at this time.

The blue void is cloudless and the wind is not strong, and the mountain is long pine and the mountain is water.

The group moved leisurely, and the sky was high and the earth was flat for thousands of miles.

……”

After the song, Mu Yan's heart faded away, but his heart was not calm. He pursed his lips, his face was calm, and finally looked at Bai Xue and asked, "Are you homesick?"

Bai Xue was stunned, then shook her head with a smile: "No, it's not." It's just that this place and this scene should be the case. ”

Mu Yan looked at her quietly, his heart was soft for no reason, and asked, "I don't know where your hometown is." ”

Bai Xue stood up, stood in the valley and looked up at the bright moon in the sky, her eyes were far away, as if she had seen another world through the moon, and she said quietly: "My hometown, that is an extremely distant place. ”

After Mu Yan heard this, he continued to ask, "Do you want to go back?"

Bai Xue retracted her distant gaze and showed regret in her eyes: "Yes, I want to go back, but I'm afraid I'll never be able to go back." ”

Her hometown is separated from this world by a time and space, how can she go back? If it really comes to the day when she can go back, she must have used her means to the heavens at that time, enough to reverse time and space, and break the boundaries of time and space. But she doesn't even dare to think about this kind of thing now, the road is difficult, and who can guarantee that she can go to the end. Moreover, if it really came to that point, thousands of years must have passed, and what was there to be nostalgic for her in the present world at that time?

Mu Yan felt very strange when he heard her answer, and he would never go back? What does this mean? However, he didn't ask, although they were already very familiar, some questions had to be met in moderation. And looking at Bai Xue's appearance, he doesn't seem to want to say more. It's just that he secretly put this question in his heart.

Bai Xue laughed at herself, it was really not her character to be so sad and sad, maybe it was because she had been busy practicing since she came to this world, and now that she was free, she had a little nostalgia for the present world. However, after this night, let me keep everything about this world in my heart. She thought so.

"Alright, that's the end of today. Bai Xue said lightly to Mu Yan.

Mu Yan had no choice but to nod, but he paused when leaving, turned his back to her, and seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything and left.

After he left, red scales slipped out of her wrists, and the snake's tail scratched her head, "This kid is really awkward. ”

"Huh, awkward?" Bai Xue looked at Red Scale suspiciously.

Red Scale didn't answer her, but looked at Bai Xue and said, "Xue'er, your state of mind has been sublimated tonight, and the three souls and seven spirits of the Soul Breaking Stone have almost been absorbed, which is enough to advance to the middle stage of the Yuan Infant." ”

Bai Xue nodded to indicate that she understood, she had not stopped cultivating and meditating and absorbing the Soul Breaking Stone during this time, and her cultivation naturally went up. It's just that the speed is a little scary.

She sat on the rocks on the spot, silently impacting the realm. Red Scales, on the other hand, waited silently on the sidelines, so that she was not afraid of being disturbed by others.

The night will pass, and the sky will not dawn. Bai Xue opened her eyes and spat out a faint cold breath from her mouth. Without hindrance, she was promoted to the middle stage of the Yuan Infancy.

Red Scales watched from the side with great satisfaction: "Hahaha, okay, Xue'er, now that you have been promoted to the middle stage of the Yuan Infant, the Soul Breaking Stone is almost used, find a chance to become a sect and cultivate the Soul Sound Technique, you must not be trapped in a corner." ”

Bai Xue said that he understood that if the soul sound technique had to absorb the three souls and seven spirits of others and absorb the emotions of others, then it would not be possible to stay in the sect all the time.

It seems that he is looking for a chance to go out.

Bai Xue (distant eyes): I want to go back to modern times

Mu Yan: When I become a Heavenly Venerable and break the time and space wall boundary for you, I will go home with you.
