On the mountain path, a young man with a rather delicate appearance was walking. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"It's a quarter of an hour's walk to the village, and I've been away from home for five days, and I don't know what happened to my father. This person is Chen Yifan, and it has been more than two hours since he left the cave. Thinking of this, Chen Yifan was both expectant and scared, and his mother's loving face and his father's big calloused hands kept flashing in his mind.
After a while, a small mountain village appeared in front of me. Chen Yifan looked at this village where he grew up, and a strong sense of belonging rose in his heart, and he couldn't hold back the joy and excitement in his heart, Chen Yifan quickly ran into the village and ran towards home. Along the way, the tranquility in the village made Chen Yifan feel a little surprised in his heart.
"Could it be that everyone in the village has gone to worship the Midwinter Festival? No, there are still two days before it should be time to worship. A trace of uneasiness quietly rose from the depths of my heart.
Chen Yifan quickened his pace and ran towards home. After a while, a house made of birch wood came into view.
"Dad, mother, I'm back. ”
"Dad, mother, are you at home?" Chen Yifan walked quickly to the front of the house.
"Dad, mother, mother, what's wrong with you?!"
I saw Chen's mother lying in the house, her body was shriveled, her face was pale, and her eyes were wide open, as if she had seen something terrifying.
"Mother, don't scare me, you talk to me, mother. Chen Yifan looked up at the side of the bed.
"Dad, Dad, wake up. Chen's father collapsed on the edge of the bed, his eyes closed, and his body shriveled up like Chen's mother.
"Dad, wake up, I'm Yifan, I've got you medicine, yes, medicine, medicine. ”
Chen Yifan quickly took out the three white fruits given to him by Bai Mao, and put them into the mouths of Chen's father and Chen's mother respectively, only to see that the faces of the two quickly became ruddy, Chen Yifan couldn't help but be full of anticipation when he saw this, and after a while, he saw that the ruddy on the faces of the two gradually faded, and it was still the same as before, Chen Yifan's heart suddenly fell to the bottom.
"Dad, mother, wake up quickly, I'm Yifan, I'm back. Don't scare me, woo, what the hell is going on, what the hell is going on. ”
"Wow" Chen Yifan's heart was agitated, and the blood on his chest spurted out of his mouth, and he passed out.
"A face of infinite love, a pair of strong hands, constantly surrounding me, who are they? Why can't I see and touch them? Why do I feel more and more heartache when they are drifting away? Endless darkness envelops me, devouring my body little by little, the biting cold pulls me towards death, and the endless loneliness pushes me into the abyss. At this time, how I longed for that infinitely loving face to bring me incomparably warm sunshine, and how I longed for that pair of strong and powerful hands to guard me from the wind and rain. Don't go, don't leave me, Daddy!"
Chen Yifan, who was lying on the bed, woke up suddenly, his forehead was covered with a layer of fine beads of sweat, "Daddy" Chen Yifan quickly got up and rushed to the door, and a sudden feeling of dizziness made him almost fall to the ground.
At this time, a figure next to him hurriedly helped him steady, "Don't be excited, your body is very weak now." A young man dressed as a Taoist priest slowly said that he sat on the bed. This young man's appearance is a little ordinary, but those eyes full of gentle eyes make people look at it as a whole, and they can't help but feel good, giving people a feeling of warmth like jade.
"Where is this, I'm going home, I'm going to see my father. With that, Chen Yifan struggled to stand up.
"Don't worry, your body has just recovered, and you are still too weak now, you can rest here for a few days, and when the time comes, I will definitely give you an answer. Come, drink this bowl of ginseng soup first, it will be good for your body. As he spoke, the young Taoist priest brought a bowl of ginseng soup on the table next to him to Chen Yifan.
"Then please tell me first, where is this place, how is my father and mother now?"
"This is my master, Swordsman Sect, you were brought up from the bottom of the mountain by my senior brother, and I don't know the situation of your father and mother now, but the master and the head have gone for treatment, and there will be news in a few days." You can rest here first, and don't worry about the rest. Okay, let's talk about this today, your health is not good, come, drink this bowl of ginseng soup first. ”
Chen Yifan looked at the young Taoist priest with a gentle smile in front of him, nodded, took the bowl, and raised his head to drink.
"Okay, you have a good rest today, and tomorrow, I'll come to see you again. With that, he turned and walked out the door.
"By the way, my name is Li Ruhai, you can also call me, Senior Brother Li. What's your name?"
"Chen Yifan"
"Chen Yifan, well, okay, you have a good rest tonight. "Come out the door.
Chen Yifan looked out of the door, stunned. After a long time, he came back to his senses and looked at the hut he was in.
The room is not big, there is a big "Dao" word on the front wall, under it, there is an incense case, there is a spirit card above, there are words such as "Li Clan Ancestral Hall" on it. In front of the spirit card, there is a palm-sized incense burner, at this moment, the three fine incense sticks in the middle are burning quietly, exuding a refreshing sandalwood fragrance.
Underneath the incense case, there is a gray puff pad. Outside, there was a wooden table about a foot away from the bed, but there was nothing else in the room.
"I think the place where I am is the room of Senior Brother Li just now. ”
The moonlight, which was as cool as water, pierced through the screen window and hit the cold ground, a cold wind blew, and the burning candle flame kept shaking.
Chen Yifan stood in front of the window, looking at the green bamboo in the moonlight outside the window, silent. After a long time, I turned around and lay on the bed, and a strong longing rose in my heart.
"At this time in previous years, my father and I were sitting around making dumplings. It is used to welcome the arrival of the midwinter festival. ”
Late at night, Chen Yifan finally fell asleep deeply, in his dream, a family of three was sitting together, eating dumplings, and the whole village was full of singing and laughing, a happy scene.
In the early morning, Chen Yifan, who was asleep, was woken up by a loud noise.
"You see him later, don't be noisy, now that his body has just recovered and is still a little weak, you two should not talk for too long. ”
"Okay, it's all up to you, you can take me to him quickly" There was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and the "creak" door was pushed open.
"Stuffy gourd, get up quickly, and see who's coming to see you. ”
A handsome young man with a similar age to Chen Yifan walked straight to the bedside.
"Hairy monkey, can't you let me sleep more, I can hear your voice from afar. ”
"Okay, you're a stuffy gourd, I haven't seen you grow your skills for a few days, look for a fight."
I saw that the two teenagers on the bed suddenly scuffled together, and after a long time, the two stopped, lying side by side on the bed, their eyes were slightly red, and they were silent for a long time. The handsome young man's name is Wang Yufeng, and he is Chen Yifan's friend and playmate in the same village.
"Stuffy gourd" is Wang Yufeng's joking name for Chen Yifan's wooden character, and the hairy monkey is Chen Yifan's counterattack against Wang Yufeng. However, these two titles are quite in line with the personalities of the two.
"Yufeng, why are you here, what happened to the people in the village, what happened. ”
"Yifan, I only came back from outside yesterday, and I don't know what happened. Wang Yufeng shook his head bitterly, "I just found out when I returned to the village, and then my senior brother flew here directly with me." ”
"What are you talking about, senior brother?" Chen Yifan stared at Wang Yufeng with wide eyes.
"You don't know? Oh, yes, you came in a coma. Yifan, do you know, now we are in the place where the immortals live."
"Immortals?!" Chen Yifan was taken aback.
"Actually, this is the second time I've seen an immortal, and the first time happened six days ago. There was an old man who saw me and said what kind of qi I had in me, what kind of palace was suitable for them. And without saying a word, he took me straight to a great palace, and he took me as an apprentice himself. Then I asked my brother to take me home and tell my father, and then what happened now. After my brother brought me here, I happened to see you coming, and you were in a coma at the time, so I didn't come to see you. Come today, the immortal at the door won't let you be disturbed. Chen Yifan suddenly thought of Senior Brother Li.
Wang Yufeng continued: "Speaking of which, my master is really good to me, and gave me a shirt, saying that it can drive away evil spirits. There is also a book, said to be the treasure of the door, not to be passed on, I guess he fooled me, you said you have seen who treats a broken book as a treasure, if a broken book can become a treasure, then my family is not all of it. When I come next time, I'll bring you that book, which of us is with whom, right?"
Chen Yifan listened to Wang Yufeng's words, his heart warmed, and he smiled.
"Look at your little bit of talent, a broken book will make you happy, how many books I have given you over the years, and I haven't seen you happy like this. You don't really believe what my master said, do you?" Chen Yifan quickly shook his head.
"I just said, how can my brother be such a forgetful person. Just listen to me, what about you? Where have you been in the past few days?" Chen Yifan listened and told Wang Yufeng what had happened in the past few days.
"What do you say? There are so many little white fruits, and a monkey? I said, why don't you open your mind, you pick all the fruits, how much is it worth?" And the monkey, it's worth a lot of money. What kind of eyes do you have, okay, the monkey doesn't sell the head office. In my opinion, that monkey is eighty percent a spirit monkey. Maybe, there will be some peerless martial arts. ”
Chen Yifan looked at Wang Yufeng speechlessly, this guy in front of him has been calculating since he was a child, although he just talks and doesn't do it, but this also makes him angry with his father, and scolds him for reading books in the belly of a dog in the past few years.
"It's not early, Yifan, you have a good rest, I'll come to see you tomorrow." Chen Yifan sent Wang Yufeng away, returned to the house, and remembered that Wang Yufeng said to himself today that this is the place where immortals live, and he couldn't help but look forward to the news of his father's mother.
Unknowingly, Chen Yifan has been here for three days. During this period, Wang Yufeng ran here when he was free, and the two teenagers naturally had something to talk about together. Senior Brother Li has also been here a few times, and after checking Chen Yifan's physical condition, he left adrift.
On this day, when Chen Yifan was wondering why Wang Yufeng hadn't come yet, Li Ruhai walked in from outside and said to him gently: "Yifan, the sect master has an order to see you." ”
Chen Yifan followed out of the house, and suddenly Li Ruhai's footsteps stopped, and Chen Yifan couldn't help asking, "Senior Brother Li, why don't we leave?"
"Hehe, don't worry, this place is too far from the main hall, let's go there in other ways. I saw Li Ruhai pinching his fingerprint with his left hand, and the saber behind his back, with a "choking" sound, hung in the air about a foot above the ground, and then became much larger. Li Ruhai grabbed Chen Yifan, stepped forward, and said, "Stand firm."
I only heard a "whoosh" sound, and the big sword broke through the air in an instant.
Chen Yifan, who was standing on the sword, felt like a dream at this scene, and said in a lost voice: "Immortal art!"
Seeing Chen Yifan's state, Li Ruhai smiled slightly: "This is the swordsmanship of my Swordsman Sect, this method is used against the enemy, and it is quite practical to travel." I think when I first came to the master's door, I was really stopped by the master's hand, I remember that I hugged the master tightly at that time, and I didn't dare to move, for fear of falling. ”
As he spoke, the fairy sword had shot several miles away, and the hut where Chen Yifan lived was long gone. Not long after, a majestic palace appeared in Chen Yifan's eyes. What's even more peculiar is that the palace is suspended in mid-air, and next to it, there is a statue standing in the air as high as a hundred feet, its face is blocked by white clouds, and it is impossible to see it really.
At this time, Li Ruhai's voice came from his ears, "Okay, we have arrived, this is the main hall of the sect, Yuntian Palace." The master and the sect master are waiting for us inside, let's go down. ”
"Go down, Senior Brother Li, aren't you joking? It's all white and vast here, there is no road at all, wouldn't it be dead for us to go down?"
"Hehe, I forgot to tell you just now, this place has been blessed by the masters of my sect for generations with great Taoism, and now it has formed the cloud ladder we see in front of us, so this place is very strong, and we will not be in danger. Okay, we're going down, stand firm. ”
Li Ruhai put away the fairy sword and walked towards the hall with Chen Yifan. Along the way, Chen Yifan looked around, and the child's nature was revealed to him at this moment.
