Chapter 53: The Past
Li Yu went straight to the door of the innermost house behind Jingyue Hall, and just stopped and wanted to ask out loud, when he heard a voice from inside: "Is it Li Yu?" Come on in! ”
Li Yu pushed the door in, and as soon as he entered, he saw Xuanye Daoist standing in front of the incense case, looking at the "Qinglian" fairy sword on the desk, what was strange was that this "Qinglian" fairy sword was just a broken sword, Xuanye Daoist was silently thinking about something, and when he saw Li Yu coming in, he turned around, with a gloomy and dull look on his face.

Li Yu lowered his head and took a step closer, bowed his hand and said, "Disciple see Master, I don't know if Master asked me to come late at night, do you need to tell Disciple about anything?" ”
Daoist Xuanye nodded slightly, and said, "Next month is the day of the Wufeng Sword Meeting, I don't know how everyone is preparing?" ”
Li Yu hurriedly said: "Everyone has been practicing hard in this year's time, and we don't dare to slack off in the slightest, after all, it is the honor of each of our disciples to be able to participate in such a grand event!" ”
Daoist Xuanye left the incense table, walked to the center of the room, and said in a low voice: "Okay, go back and tell them that during this time, I hope everyone will be ready to fight, and there will be no slackness, and strive to make their respective cultivation improve and go to the next level before the sword meeting!" ”
Li Yu said respectfully: "Yes, the disciple must abide by the master's teachings!" ”
Daoist Xuanye suddenly turned around, looked at him, the most proud disciple, and pondered for a moment, "Li Yu, you have been with me for a long time, right?" How's your cultivation going? ”
Li Yu was a little flattered, the master hadn't paid attention to his cultivation for a long time, and said with a guilty face: "The disciple has always been on the fifth layer of the Hong Yuan Realm's 'Two Forgets', and there has been no improvement over the years. ”
Daoist Xuanye seemed to feel very guilty, sighed lightly, and said, "I owe you for the teacher, and I haven't guided your cultivation well over the years, if I ask more, with your qualifications, you may be able to reach the sixth layer of 'Shouyuan'." ”
When Li Yu heard this, he shook his head again and again, and said, "Master, don't say that, it's because the disciple is stupid by nature and has failed to comprehend the profundity of this Tai Chi Five Elements Dao Method, so his cultivation has been stagnant. ”
Daoist Xuanye looked into the distance, nodded and said in a deep voice: "That's right, the most important thing in cultivating is to look at one's own qualifications and talents, and the guidance of others has only had little effect, and it seems that you have reached the end of your cultivation level." ”
Li Yu lowered his head and said, "I've disappointed Master!" ”
Daoist Xuanye shook his head lightly, and said helplessly: "The most reassuring thing for the teacher now is your future, your senior brother Zheng Shouyi is indifferent by nature, he has seen through the chaos of the world, and has the idea of being born, and he may choose the path of becoming a monk in the future, and you are still young, and you have the heart to enter the world, and you don't want to delay you as a teacher," Speaking of this, Xuanye Daoist paused intentionally or unintentionally, and said: "If it weren't for my involvement, you might have a lover and finally become a family......"
Before Xuanye Dao finished speaking, Li Yu was already moved, knelt down, choked up, and said: "Master, the disciple has entered your seat, and will follow the master all his life, when the disciple was young, the family suffered an accident, both parents died, forced to live on the street, no fixed place, it was the master you took me in, the master has the virtue of rebirth in me, there is no return in this life, let me always be by the master's side!" ”
Xuanye Dao Chang walked to the edge of the incense case again, looked at the faintly shining "Qinglian" fairy sword on the table, and muttered: "Why is it just my fault, but you and I have to suffer together?" ”
Li Yu knelt on the ground and didn't speak for a long time, his thoughts had already flown back to a day twenty years ago......
It was a bright afternoon, and the warm sun shone on the ancient city.
At that time, Li Yu was still a half-old child, and was beaten by a group of little beggars because he grabbed a bun that someone else accidentally dropped on the ground on the street.
Waiting for him under the eaves of the ancient temple was a girl younger than his age.
It was a little girl he had met on the side of the road before he came here, she had been separated from her fleeing parents, and she had lost her way, and she had nothing to eat for days, because she was pitiful, and he took out the half of his pancake from his bosom and gave it to her, and the girl looked at him with two big eyes!
After all this time, he still remembers her helpless and pitiful eyes!
From then on, the girl wandered with him, begging all the way, and when there was food, the two of them were one and a half, you look at me, I look at you, and laughed and ate the food, and when there was no food, they went hungry, and gathered around the burning dry wood to get water, or drink some cold water to satisfy their hunger!
Today, he didn't grab the buns, the girl couldn't get anything to eat, and the two of them had nothing to eat, and their stomachs were hungry, and they didn't know what to do?
The girl was crying and weeping, and the boy was helpless.
At this time, two young men, a man and a woman, walked in front of the temple gate, the young man was handsome and extraordinary, and the bearing was outstanding, and the woman was as beautiful as a flower, and she was gorgeous and refined, and their clothes were different from those of the people in the city, and they must have been passers-by who traveled far to this place.
A man and a woman walked here, and when they heard the crying under the eaves in front of the temple gate, they were all attracted to it, and they couldn't help but feel concerned when they asked about the life experiences of these two children.
The young man lowered his body, stroked the boy's head, looked at the two poor children with pity, and asked the woman beside him, "Senior Sister Ruohan, why don't you let us take them back to Wufeng Mountain, so that they can have a place to live." ”
The woman took the little girl's hand, wiped the mud off the girl's face, and said, "Okay, let's take one of them in and teach them to practice, and I will want this girl," and after speaking, she took the little girl by the hand and walked down the eaves of this ancient temple.
The young man also pulled the little boy to his side and asked, "What's your name?" ”
The little boy blinked and said, "My surname is Li, and my single name is a feather character." ”
"Okay, I'll call you Li Yu, are you willing to go with us?" The man asked with a smile.
The boy nodded without even thinking about it, because it might be the best place for both of them.
The woman also asked the little girl the same question, the little girl only shook her head, she didn't even know what her surname was, the woman sighed slightly, brushed the bangs on the little girl's forehead with her hand, and said: "Then you have my surname, my surname is Mo, seeing that you are quiet and don't like to talk, I will give you a static word, call you Jing'er, okay?" ”
The little girl knew that she had met a kind person, and that the two young men in front of her must be great people, and although she still had tears in her eyes, she nodded happily.
So, Li Yu and Mo Jing followed them to a mountain that seemed to be a paradise, surrounded by clouds and mist, like a fairyland, and later learned that this mountain peak is the Chiyue Peak of Wufeng Mountain, and the two young men and women are the two most proud disciples of the peak master Wuyan Dao people, the male surname is Ye, called Ye Quyun, and the female surname is Mo, called Mo Ruohan.
In the last session of the Wufeng Centennial Sword Meeting, Ye Quyun won the first place in the Wufeng Sword Club with a complete victory, and for a while he was famous in the Middle Earth Righteous Path, and that Mo Ruohan also won the second place in the Sword Club Competition, and she was also a famous talented woman in Wufeng Mountain!
Both of them are the best among the rising stars of Wufeng Mountain, the same elegance is peerless, and the same fame moves the world!
After returning from this trip, they brought back Li Yu and Mo Jing respectively, and in the following time, they taught Li Yu and Mo Jing to study external skills and practice Taoism.
At that time, Ye Quyun and Mo Ruohan lived together on Chi Yue Peak, practiced together, went in and out of pairs, and were intimate and affectionate, everyone thought that the young man and woman in love on Chi Yue Peak were enviable golden boys and girls, and even Li Yu and Mo Jing thought so, their respective masters were unparalleled fairy couples!
Not long after, under the persuasion of Dao Yuan Zhenren, the head of Wufeng at that time, and Wuya Daoren, the peak master of Chiyue Peak, the young man and woman practiced together in the forbidden place of the Taiqing Peak of Wufeng Mountain, the "Menglan Cave Mansion", and gave them a peerless secret cultivation golden pill in their own sect!
At that time, from the head of the sect to the disciples, all the people in the entire Wufeng Mountain were paying attention to their cultivation, looking forward to seeing their enlightenment one day as soon as possible!
On a full moon night, the entire Wufeng Mountain is illuminated as if it were day.
I only heard a loud sound of "boom" in the cave, and the "Menglan Cave Mansion" actually opened the door, and everyone thought that it was the day of the pass, and several elders and disciples rushed to hear it, and waited outside for a long time before the footsteps turned in the cave, however, only one figure came out!
After the fog at the entrance of the cave dissipated, everyone saw that it was a woman!
Mo Ruohan was the only one out of the customs!
What's going on?
Why didn't Ye Quyun come out?
Everyone was surprised, an elder stepped forward to ask the woman, but saw that the woman's face was sad, as if she had cried, in the face of the elder's inquiry, she only shook her head and did not answer, and then she hid her face and left, so that everyone outside the cave was stunned!
After the woman left the customs alone, she returned to Chi Yue Peak overnight and talked for a few hours in the room of the Master's Boundless Dao, after which she packed her luggage and left Chi Yue Peak with Mo Jing, who was still a little girl, and never set foot on Chi Yue Peak again!
After a year, Ye Quyun was also out of the customs, although he had reached a deeper realm in Dao cultivation, and he had broken through the top layer of the Hongyuan realm in the Tai Chi Five Elements Dao Method, and reached the realm of the early stage of the mixed yuan, and then, there was no trace of joy on his face!
On the night he returned to Chi Yue Peak, he was turned away by his master, and the Boundless Daoist made him kneel in front of the Jingyue Hall to confess his sins, so he knelt all night, and the next morning, the Boundless Dao called him into his room.
According to the conversation overheard by the disciple who was outside the door at that time, Ye Quyun knelt in front of the Boundless Daoist, and the Boundless Daoist didn't even look at him at first, and later, he said sharply: "Ruohan has already told me, I don't have a disciple like you!" ”
Ye Quyun was still kneeling on the ground, and said with a straight face: "Master, why don't you even believe me?" ”
The Boundless Daoist looked at the disciple kneeling in front of him before asking, "Didn't you do anything to be sorry for Ruohan?" ”
Ye Quyun raised his head, his eyes were firm, and he said with a righteous face: "Master, I can swear to heaven that I have never done anything to be sorry for my junior sister!" ”
The Boundless Daoist looked at Ye Quyun's eyes for a long time, and it was only when he thought that this disciple he had always valued had not deceived him, and he slowly exhaled.
In the end, the Boundless Daoist walked out of the door first, and at the door, he looked up to the sky and sighed, and said only one sentence: "Maybe all this is the will of heaven!" ”
It seems that he has forgiven this beloved disciple!
Soon after, the disciples on Chi Yue Peak heard that Mo Ruohan, who had left Chi Yue Peak, had married Yang Qixiang, the eldest disciple of Ziyun Peak.
When Ye Quyun heard this, he seemed to be sad, he stood alone by the pond in front of the Jingyue Hall of Chiyue Peak for three days and three nights, not a drop of water entered, in the early morning of the last day, it rained heavily, Ye Quyun standing in the rain was covered with his hair, like a madman, he looked up to the sky and roared, and then flew to the top of the peak, suddenly the wind roared, lightning and thunder, after a deafening sound, Ye Quyun landed in the open space in front of the Jingyue Hall, and the prestigious "Qinglian" fairy sword in his hand was actually broken into two!
In this way, hundreds of years of practice were ruined in one fell swoop, and people had to sigh!
After that day, he cut out the family, because the common family surname Ye, then named Xuanye, not long after, the endless Taoist immortal died, and the position of the peak master of Chiyue Peak was passed on to the Xuanye Dao Chief.
No one knows what happened between the childhood sweethearts in "Menglan Cave Mansion"?
In addition to the parties involved, maybe only the Chiyue Peak Peak Lord Boundless Dao may still know a little bit of the ins and outs of the matter, but I don't know what the Boundless Dao person cares about, and he didn't reveal any news to others until he died, so this bizarre incident back then is still an unsolvable mystery in Wufeng Mountain!
This has been going on for more than 20 years.
More than 20 years of time can eliminate all misunderstandings and suspicions, but it can't restore everything that has been!
In the past 20 years, Li Yu has also been following Master Xuanye Daochang, and there seems to be an insurmountable barrier between him and that junior sister Mo Jing!
Once we shared weal and pain, but now we are our own masters, although we are still brothers and sisters in the same family, this invisible barrier seems to stand there forever!
It's just a stone's throw away......
Whenever Li Yu thought of these past events of Chi Yuefeng, there would always be a burst of wordless grief and loss in his heart, and all the boiling blood would slowly cool down until it was cold!
Xuanye Daoist looked at the "Qinglian" fairy sword on the incense case, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, and when he saw that Li Yu was still kneeling on the ground, he said, "You get up." ”
Li Yu stood up from the ground at this time, but he still stood there in a daze, not moving, he had not yet come out of his thoughts just now.
Daoist Xuanye didn't want these unpleasant things to disturb their moods, so he immediately diverted the topic and said, "Have you ever paid attention to the ban on Chi Yue Peak that you talked about last time?" ”
Li Yu seemed to come to his senses and replied: "In the past few months, the disciples and senior brothers have often come out to inspect at night, and so far they have not found any suspicious situations, so Master can rest assured. ”
Daoist Xuanye nodded and said, "With you here, I'm relieved." ”
Li Yu then said: "Master, this matter has been almost a year ago, there should be no big problem, right?" ”
Daoist Xuanye glanced at him and said in a low voice, "I hope so!" ”
After Xuanye Dao Chang finished speaking, he seemed to think of something, and said: "Li Yu, you also have to pay attention to yourself, next month is the day of the Centennial Sword Meeting of Wufeng Mountain, the big battle is imminent, and the teacher doesn't want to see you have any mistakes!" ”
Li Yu nodded silently and said, "The disciple will be careful!" ”
Daoist Xuanye turned around and walked to the side of the bed, sat down, waved his hand gently, and said, "It's not early, then you go back and rest!"
Li Yu saluted and was about to turn around and exit the room, when Daoist Xuanye suddenly stopped him and asked in a deep voice, "How is that disciple named Lin Xiaoyi doing recently?" ”
Li Yu was very curious when he heard this, the master had never cared about this little junior brother, how could he suddenly think of him coming today, paused for a moment, and then said: "Lin Xiaoyi is still the same, I can't see anything different, why did the master remember that this little junior brother is here?" ”
Daoist Xuanye pondered for a moment and said, "Oh, I'm just asking casually, it's okay, okay, you can go back and rest by yourself!" ”
"Yes, the disciple is retiring!" After Li Yu bowed, he turned around and walked out of the room.
