Chapter Twenty-Three: A Visitor from His Peak, and a Guest from Qixia Again
On Xingxia Peak, the weeds are vines, and there is a beautiful woman, dancing in the center.
Yang Yixia was dressed in a blue shirt, his demeanor was calm, he was holding a weed in his mouth, the dark dust-breaking sword was tied behind him, his hands were crossed in front of his chest, and his whole body was leaning on the wind-moving stone.
The circumstances of life are different, and there will be a time for spring flowers and autumn leaves. On the road of life, you will always meet some people, create some memories, leave some regrets, and then go your separate ways. Like two intersecting straight lines, coming from infinity, intersecting at one point, and then going to infinity. The past is gone, and even if you want to make up for it, in the days to come, it will be drifting away and irrelevant.
But people always fantasize if at that time, if I could, if I could. If, what an expensive word it is.
"If the person in front of you is Liu Xiyan, how nice it would be." Yang Yixia's eyes were blurred, looking at the calm and entrenched mountains and slowly flowing white clouds in the distance, and sighed long, but his heart was no longer calm.
Xingyun is outgoing and lively, like the breeze in the mountains, and Liu Xiyan is introverted and mysterious, like the dawn moon in the mist. Yang Yixia silently compared these two women in his heart, two completely different personalities, but they had the same appearance that overwhelmed the country and the city, and brought disaster to the country and the people. To exaggerate, they don't even need to speak, standing there, they can attract countless heroes on the rivers and lakes to fight for them and fight. Yang Yixia was looking forward to it in his heart, but he didn't know what it would be like to see Liu Xiyan again? Still the same style as when I was in school? Is it still the eyes that looked back at that time?
"You still can't forget her?" The sword god exhaled a breath of turbidity, obviously having finished meditating, sensing the loneliness in Yang Yixia's heart, with a slight hint of helplessness in his tone, he asked in the Divine Mansion.
"Aren't you the same?" Yang Yixia frowned, then slowly stretched, and asked rhetorically.
The world is impermanent, and there are many coincidences. Because of a woman, she actually tied the sword god and Yang Yixia firmly together.
"What do you know as a child, the so-called love is originally something that you believe in and don't believe in, and it is a warm excuse that people make up in the face of this cold world. But the infatuated children of this world do not believe it, and must verify it for themselves and follow it. In order to find it, they have tasted the pain of lovesickness and the sadness of parting, but in fact, it seems that it is just a burden imposed on themselves. The sword god unexpectedly mentioned his unique view of love, his tone was calm, the words were heavy, and when he talked about the burden, his eyes were unwavering, as if he had let go of the past.
Yang Yixia listened quietly, thinking in his heart, how is love defined? Since the hunter-gatherer society, with the development and improvement of technology, human beings have changed from the very beginning of tribal group life to a small collective with the family as a unit, and marriage has also been derived, but marriage does not represent love, the essence of marriage, at the beginning is also a paper transaction, from mutual benefit and reciprocity, to meet the material needs of both parties, to later spiritual support, tolerance and forbearance, time goes too fast, so that we forget the original intention at the beginning.
"Since you said this is a burden, don't you love Liu Xiyan anymore?" After thinking about it for a long time, Yang Yixia was still puzzled, so he asked the sword god.
"Love is inevitable, and every time I see her, I am very happy. Not loving, it's not accidental, if my departure can make her live a better life and suffer less, then I don't love her anymore. Therefore, love and non-love, like the essence of love, have never had boundaries. But for me, to protect her and take care of her, it is not a burden, but an instinct, the most normal thing in life. Ever since I met her, I knew I couldn't forget it, and I couldn't let it go, this girl was someone I wanted to protect in my life. To me, she was like family, like a part of my body, so I didn't allow anyone to hurt her, including herself. The sword god said calmly, obviously recalling some old things back then.
"This is the realm of love to the point of not loving, some feelings are earth-shattering, and some feelings are long-lasting, but as long as you are happy when you are with her, this is enough. Don't ask for eternity, just wish you had it once, instead of talking about the meaning of love here, it is better to grasp the present, since you have a second chance at the sword god, you will definitely meet Liu Xiyan again. So, all you need to do now is wait, wait for an opportunity, wait for a time that is good for you and for her. As for the rest, I'll help you. It was rare for Yang Yixia to be so philosophical, and he said it righteously, which also made the sword god deeply reminisce.
"Was she happy when she was with me? Are we happy? Should I go away quietly and not disturb her this time? "This is a question that the Sword God has been thinking about for the past few days.
"If the person she chooses is you, I will leave without hesitation." Yang Yixia's heart suddenly became inexplicably bitter, as if his beloved thing was lost, the sword god's obsession with Liu Xiyan was no less than his own, and when that day really came, he didn't know how to face Liu Xiyan, and he didn't know how to face the sword god.
The sword god stopped talking, he could feel the intention of Yang Yixia's words, and he was the same, if Liu Xiyan was not the Liu Xiyan he knew, he would also choose to leave.
If that day comes, what choice will they make?
Life is like a cloud, it seems to be calm, but in fact, the dark tide is surging, and then in the blink of an eye, can you still remember the past?
A few clouds drifted across the sky, obscuring the sun's rays, and after a while they drifted away, revealing their original appearance.
"What do you think? Looking at the sky alone in a daze, it can't be that we just fell stupid, although the scenery here is beautiful, we can't stop all the time, we always have to leave. Xingyun turned around and landed beside Yang Yixia, blinked his beautiful eyes, patted Yang Yixia's shoulder, and then walked forward quickly. It's time to go, and I'll come back to Xingxia Peak when I have time in the future. There is still some distance from Qixia Peak, let's go full speed and strive to rush back to Qixia before noon. ”
"Mmmm," Yang Yixia broke free from the dilemma, nodded heavily, and thought: "No one can say for sure what will happen in the future, and when that time comes, maybe everything will already fall into place." ”
"Walk you!" With a clear roar, the blue figure left from the wind-moving stone, turning into two steps in three steps, and then kept up with the pace of Xingyun's advance.
Xingxia Peak is located in the northwest, very close to Qixia Peak, but separated by a steep mountain road. Just now, Xingyun and the two of them have already walked four-fifths of the way in the colorful auspicious clouds, but Xiaoyao Gate covers a wide area, and the distance between each main peak is not close, so Xingyun and Yang Yixia can reach Qixia Peak before noon.
"When Edgeworth flew before, I didn't feel the distance of this journey. It seems that the world is really unusually big, and I don't know when I will find my way home? Yang Yixia suddenly realized that there is still a long way to go in the future, and it will be full of lost and convinced that the thousand-year catastrophe is imminent, how can you care so much, it is better to cultivate well and improve your strength, so that you can protect the people you want to protect. As far as his heart went, the negative emotions that had just diffused dissipated instantly, and Yang Yixia's eyes became firm again.
"Little Xia'er, why are you walking so slowly." Xingyun walked in front, his voice drifted behind him through the sound of the wind, and when he turned around, he found that Yang Yixia had fallen more than ten meters behind her, and kept panting in the back, "Is it that I haven't worked hard for too long, my physical strength can't keep up, and my body is rusty, do you want to take a rest first?" ”
Yang Yixia wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and his old face turned red, it was not that he deliberately slowed down, but the speed of Xingyun was too fast, like a bird out of the cage on this mountain, even if he tried his best, he was still more than ten meters away from her.
"Little shrimp, now you know the role of basic skills. The so-called cultivation starts from the basic skills, not only to practice the sword, but also to use the basic skills when traveling. The voice of the sword god came from the Divine Mansion again, and his tone was no longer solemn, with a hint of banter, "Listen, I will now pass on to you a set of body techniques that can be driven without spiritual power under the Qi Cultivation Realm, to be precise, it is a set of light body movement techniques, called Dragon and Tiger Steps." ”
"Dragon Tiger Step, why does this name sound so middle two?" After all, Yang Yixia was a young man, and he burst out laughing, and quickly forgot the previous heaviness.
"Don't underestimate this dragon and tiger step, this is what I got at an ancient site when I was wandering the rivers and lakes, and it is said to be the town style of a certain sect in ancient times." The sword god talked eloquently, "The body is like a dragon like lightning, and the feet are thundering and beasts." Dragon and Tiger Step, the reason why it is called Dragon Tiger Step, is because it is mainly divided into two kinds of footwork, Dragon Step and Tiger Step, Dragon Step focuses on speed, travels between heaven and earth, moves quickly with the help of buoyancy between heaven and earth, and can complete lightning-like teleportation in a short time. As for the tiger step, because the tiger belongs to the mountain forest animals, mostly wandering in the mountains and forests in search of food, endurance is long-lasting, good at pursuit, and fast and decisive when hunting, suitable for mountain travel. ”
The Sword God's eyes were slightly closed, and the blue light flowed, and little by little in the Divine Mansion, the key points of cultivation were turned into blue threads and transmitted into Yang Yixia's consciousness. When he got this set of body methods, he was in the realm of the Imperial Sky Realm, and he could already fly with a sword, so he didn't practice the Dragon and Tiger Steps. But for the current Yang Yixia, this set of body methods is very applicable, not only has the effect of acting like the wind and increasing speed, but also has the benefits of washing tendons and marrow and strengthening bones.
After a short time, the sword god taught Yang Yixia the basic operation method of the exercises, and when he opened his eyes again, he found that Yang Yixia had once again fallen into the legendary realm of selflessness!
"What does this mean? Selflessness? In less than two days, he entered the realm of selflessness twice, forgetting his self and realizing the source of the Dao, this son's talent is extremely high and his potential is unlimited. The thousand-year catastrophe, four years, maybe he can really create a miracle. The sword god's eyes shone brightly, and he looked at Yang Yixia incredulously.
Looking at the nose, nose and mouth, mouth and heart, Yang Yixia did not feel any difference at this time, but he had completely integrated into the surrounding environment, as if it was a grass, a leaf, walking forward step by step, the potholed and uneven ground, the ups and downs of the hills, for him, it was like walking on the ground, and he was at ease, but it was not long before the distance between him and Xingyun was slowly narrowed.
Just as Xingyun and Yang Yixia were on their way back to Qixia Peak, two Xiaoyaomen disciples who were not very old and had cultivated themselves but had reached the peak of Qi Cultivation came up to Qixia Peak.
One of them was eight feet tall and had a dignified appearance and sharp edges. A pair of one-word eyebrows, a square face, a majestic figure, long hair flowing, and wearing an indigo blue robe, it is Meng Yuhan, the eldest disciple of Chaoyang Peak!
The other person, seven feet tall, with a round face, raised eyebrows, a pair of big black eyes, glowing with a novel light, a slightly childish face with a straight and strong muscles, although the height is not as tall as Meng Yuhan, standing there, can bring people a strong sense of oppression, he is the big disciple of Cangsong Peak, Zhang Shiyan!
