Chapter 62: Life and Age
Xi Yuanzhen's tender eyes were filled with a hint of sadness, his slender fingers gently brushed the trunk of the Moon Spirit Fruit Tree, and Bai Yu's face was gently pasted, as if talking to himself and as if he was whispering to the Moon Spirit Fruit Tree beside him.
"Liu'er, you should have already seen Youran, right? She's the apprentice I just took in. ”
Xi Yuan Zhenren rubbed lightly, with an apologetic expression on his face, and said softly:
"I'm sorry, Liu'er. Shouldn't I take her as an apprentice? I once said that I would not accept any more women as apprentices except for you, but leisurely is a man, and it was Zi Yan and Xuan Yi who asked me to help accept it. ”
Speaking of this, I saw a branch on the Moon Spirit Fruit Tree slowly stretching. It stretched all the way to Xi Yuanzhen's head, and gently stroked it with Xi Yuanzhen's bun.
Xi Yuan Zhenren couldn't help but show a look of joy, looked at the Moon Spirit Fruit Tree and asked with some excitement:
"Liu'er, don't you blame me for accepting apprentices?"
The Moon Spirit Fruit Tree nodded slightly.
Xi Yuan Zhenren was even more pleased and continued:
"Don't worry, I told her not to touch you. So even if I take in the apprentices, no one will bother us. ”
Xi Yuan Zhenren sat down slowly, let his side face snuggle against the trunk of the tree, and slowly closed his eyes. The past replays like a movie.
"Master, I'm hungry."
A fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, dressed in a lilac dress, pouting and looking coquettish.
Xi Yuanzhen looked at the apprentice who had no intention of picking up during the trip and said helplessly:
"Didn't you just eat it?"
I heard the girl say very dissatisfied:
"What do you mean you've just eaten? That's just two days! I'm just cultivating during the Qi cultivation period, and I don't have to eat like you, right? ”
Xi Yuan Zhenren looked at this little apprentice helplessly, shook his head and said:
"Good! I'll cook for you. ”
After Xi Yuanzhen finished speaking, he walked out of the room. I heard a happy laugh behind me.
"Great! There was food to eat. ”
Xi Yuan Zhenren couldn't cry or laugh a little, and he didn't know how harsh he was on his disciples
"Master, I'm afraid of the dark."
A young girl shouted coquettishly. Both hands couldn't help but hold Xi Yuanzhen's arm.
"It's okay, Liu'er. Rest assured, there is a master here. ”
In the underground ruins, Xi Yuan Zhenren gently patted the apprentice's shoulder and soothed softly
"Master, have you fallen in love with Liu'er? Even a little? ”
Tears streamed across the girl's cheeks and poured down her heart like a heat wave. And Xi Yuanzhen, who was on the side, looked at the apprentice he had always loved. There was an indescribable heartache, and I wanted to reach out to wipe away her tears, but my hands were as heavy as a daughter at this time.
Although the monks are not so particular. There are two types that cannot be crossed at all. One is shemale love, and the other is master-apprentice love. He couldn't give her hope, let alone ruin her.
Xi Yuan Zhenren endured the heartache and said lightly:
"You are my apprentice, and you can only be my apprentice for the rest of your life."
The girl still doesn't give up. looked at Xi Yuan's real person. A hoarse voice shouted:
"No, I don't want to be your apprentice, and I don't want to hear this, just ask you, have you ever loved me?"
Xi Yuanzhen turned around a little unbearably, and spit out two words in a resolute tone:
"Nope."
The girl raised her head and laughed when she heard this, and then said sadly:
"If you knew that you would be tempted by you, then Liu'er in Zhoushan was willing to be eaten by demon beasts. I won't worship you as a teacher, at least I won't be as alive or dead as I am now. ”
"Master. This is the last time I'll call you master. ”
The woman was lying in Xi Yuanzhen's arms covered in blood, slowly raised her bloodstained hand, stroked Xi Yuanzhen's face, and said with a slight smile:
"Master, you love me, don't you? You see you're in tears. ”
Xi Yuanzhen looked at Liu Er in his arms, and his heart ached like a knife. Liu Er is right, he loves her, and he should love her. Since she left ten years ago, she has no intention of cultivating anymore, and all she thinks about is her, and from time to time she thinks of her naughty appearance. I finally saw her ten years later, but it was when I was fighting against the Demon King.
The once lively and cheerful little apprentice actually changed his demon cultivation and slaughtered the Tianyun Sect with the Demon King.
Despite his heartache, he fought her, and in the end she caught up with his sword. Blood stained her dress, as well as his eyes.
Xi Yuanzhen took the crumbling little apprentice in his arms.
"Liu'er, why don't you fight back?"
The woman looked at Xi Yuan's painful and sad appearance, and couldn't help but smile:
"Even if I die, I will die at your hand. Only then can I see your heart ache and see you grieve for me. Ahem"
Seeing her coughing up blood, Xi Yuanzhen hurriedly wiped it with his sleeve robe, and said anxiously:
"Liu'er, don't say anything now, the master will take you back. Don't worry, being a teacher won't let you have any problems. ”
After speaking, he was about to pick up Liu'er, but was stopped by her words.
"No, it's useless. My body can feel it by itself, ahem, my golden pill has been shattered. The veins of the whole body were also shattered by the spiritual power of your sword body, and there was no way to get better. ”
"No, it won't. Liu'er, you'll be fine. ”
Liu Er smiled when she heard this, just like a blooming peony, delicate and charming.
"Hehe, seeing you like this, even if I die now, I won't regret it. I believe you won't forget Liu'er, but don't accept female apprentices in the future. Ahem, I'm afraid that I will fall in love with someone I can't love, and in the end I can't get out and can't escape. You can only live in pain, life after life."
Liu Er's plain hand on Xi Yuanzhen's face fell with the last word.
Tears slipped down one by one, ticking into Liu'er's confined eyebrows, Xi Yuanzhen slowly lowered his head, his already somewhat pale lips gently kissed Liu'er's forehead, and muttered:
"Liu'er, don't worry, I won't accept any more female disciples. And you won't leave me, we'll be together for the rest of our lives. ”
He remembered that he had read an ancient scroll when he was traveling, which recorded how to gather and preserve the souls of the deceased, and that as long as the souls of the deceased were forced into the core of the moon spirit fruit by secret methods, they would be buried in the soil to allow it to grow. The soul of the deceased will gradually transform into a tree spirit as the Moon Spirit Fruit Tree grows.
Since that day, Xi Yuan Zhenren has set up an enchantment outside his cave mansion, and no one is allowed to break in. Bury the core of the moon spirit fruit that stores Liu'er's soul in the bamboo house, water it and take care of it carefully. A hundred years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the core of the Moon Spirit Fruit that stored Liu'er's soul has grown into a dense fruit tree after his careful care. He knew that he would have to wait for another ten years, and when the Moon Spirit Fruit Tree blossomed and bore fruit, it would be the day when Liu Er would become a tree spirit, and then they would be together for the rest of their lives.
