Chapter 1: Just like that

At dusk, the footsteps faded away, startling a flock of black birds.

The rugged path that stretches from the summit to the base of the mountain is crowded with tourists descending the mountain.

It was the hundredth and first stone he had ever stepped on, it was the eleventh path he had walked, and it made him different from the average tourist, he went up and they went down.

When he stood at the top of the mountain, there was a fierceness in his eyes.

"This is Immortal Peak." He stared at the hole not far away.

It is rumored that thousands of years ago in Shudi, there is a peak in the mountains around, the world calls the fairy peak, it is different, the perennial fairy spirit is swirling, the cloud covers, the treasures are countless, the most amazing thing is that there is a strange hole on the top of the mountain, the name is called the search god cave, there is a plaque in the cave called the fairy list, there are seventy-two names engraved on it, the owner of the name is a first-class immortal sect.

"Sou Shen Cave." He leaned sideways into the hole.

The passage at the entrance of the cave was very narrow, and it was only after walking straight for more than ten meters that an open place appeared.

Appearing directly above his head was a stone plaque, that is, the Immortal List, which no longer had the style of the past, and he stared at the last name: Qin Yue.

"Is that me, why isn't there a stone gate here?" Qin Yue asked herself.

The seventy-second name, the eleventh gaze.

Qin Yue once felt that Immortal Peak was his home, and he had dreamed of this place for many nights, but in the past few years, this feeling has become weaker and weaker, and it is really terrifying to go from familiar to unfamiliar.

He didn't hesitate to get out of the hole, his legs were scattered, and he sat on a big rock with his buttocks, the breeze blowing on his cheeks, and his heart calmed down a lot.

"Lord Qin."

Qin Yue looked back, and a monk in the middle of his life stood in front of him wrapped in a dilapidated white robe.

"It's almost closing, isn't it?"

The monk nodded.

"I remember that many years ago, I was born here, and it seems that you helped my mother deliver the baby at that time." Qin Yue couldn't help but recall the past.

"Yes, this." The old monk's face was embarrassed, and he couldn't answer for a while.

"Oh, I don't mean anything else, I just miss my mother, my mother gave birth to me here back then, more than ten years, think about it like yesterday." Qin Yue looked at the monk with a look of loss in her eyes.

"Donor, it's windy outside, it's better to sit inside." The old monk clasped his hands together.

"You're not in a hurry to drive me down the mountain?" Qin Yue said lightly.

"It's been more than ten years, how have you ever gone down the mountain, it's like something, it's good not to want to get up, once you think about it, it's like you haven't put it down for more than ten years, why rush for a while." After the old monk finished speaking, he turned around and left.

As the sun sets, the wind blows tighter on the top of the mountain, and if you are not careful, you may be able to cool half of your backbone.

A table, a pot, a bed, a chair, a bench, and four teacups are already the most simple foundations.

The old monk lifted the teapot, the water cup was just full, and the tea gas rushed to his face.

"Here, have a cup of tea and warm up." The monk gestured.

"How long have you been living here?" Qin Yue asked with tea.

"This is the third time you've asked me, thirty years." The old monk kissed a sip of tea.

"I'm sorry, I forgot."

"It's okay, when people don't get distracted, many things will be forgotten."

"You've lived alone for decades, aren't you lonely?"

"It doesn't matter if I'm lonely or not, what matters is where I can go?"

"The world is so big, maybe it's better to go out and take a walk."

"You want to go out for a walk?" The old monk lifted the teapot and poured it for Qin Yue.

"Not yet, I have to accompany my grandmother, she is old, she needs me now, and she may in the future." Qin Yue took two sips of the teacup and inadvertently glanced at the monk.

At this glance, the teacup was shaken to the ground by Qin Yue, this monk actually became younger, he was still in his last years before, but now he has a handsome face and bright eyes, which is simply reborn.

"You, you, who are you?" Qin Yue's vocal cords were trembling, it was incredible.

"I, who am I, don't you know?" The monk replied unhurriedly.

"Listen to your voice, it's still Master Qingshui, it's just young, no, it's too young, this, this ・・・・・・." Qin Yue looked at Qing Shui, pondering, but he never saw through.

No one will believe that a monk in his last years is rejuvenated under your nose.

"Are you weird?" Shimizu asked.

"Incredible." Qin Yuehui.

"Are you not convinced, or are you not sure?"

"Both."

"In that case, then why are you obsessed with the immortal list?"

Qin Yue was stunned, she didn't expect Qing Shui to ask such a sentence.

"Is there a relationship between the two?" Qin Yue asked rhetorically.

"Child, the world doesn't believe in the fairy list, they all think it's a false legend, no one has ever seen it, no one has touched it, but you have been persistent for more than ten years, believing in what everyone doesn't believe, this kind of persistence really makes me admire, but have you really thought about it, if one day, it is true or false, just like now, what you saw with your own eyes, but I think it is fake, but it is true?"

"No, the immortal list can't be fake, the colorful world is still waiting for me."

"Waiting for you?"

"In the colorful world, in the Immortal Peak Soshen Cave, when the last ray of sunlight falls and the first ray of moonlight rises, the light shines on the immortal list, and the stone door of the cave will open, she is behind the door, waiting for me, get together, you must know that there are my and her names on the immortal list."

"Is that so-called distant and unrealistic world again? It's that weird and incredible door, these lies have deceived you for many years, and you still believe it. ”

"She won't lie to me."

"She won't lie to you, so why did she leave you?"

"She must have a hard time."

"Bitterness, I think, it's because you're too persistent, the immortal list is just a rotten stone, the legend is fake, the name is also fake, and when your mother left you, the words she left behind were also fake, and that world was fictional." Shimizu said bluntly.

"But I can feel it, I feel it with my heart, it is vivid, I have been feeling this way for more than ten years." Qin Yue retorted.

"Heart, I haven't heard this word for a long time, it seems that you and I have no result in arguing any longer, so I hope you are right."

"You still don't believe me."

"I want you to give up."

"Why?"

"Because too much obsession is the beginning of loss."

"I don't understand."

"This world is true or false, and there are a few people who understand it, and it doesn't matter if you don't understand."

Qing Shui shook his white robe, stood up from the chair, and said slowly: "There is a dry well on the top of the mountain, do you know?" ”

Qin Yue nodded and did not make a sound.

"That well has been dry for many years, and in the past few days there has been water at the bottom of the well, so you have to go and see it."

"There is such a thing." Qing Shui changed the topic and quickly attracted Qin Yue.

When I got out of the hut and down the stairs, it was already pitch black outside, and the top of the mountain was always darker than the bottom of the mountain.

Qing Shui carried a lone lamp and stepped on the stone road on the top of the mountain, followed by Qin Yue.

There was a mottled clearing not far away, and Qing Shui pointed to it and said, "The well is there." ”

"Hey, there is really water, it's so strange, and dry wells can survive!" Qin Yue stepped forward to take a look.

Qing Shui put the lone lamp by the well, tidied up his robe a little, sat down, and said, "This well also has a legend. ”

"Legends." Qin Yue was curious.

"Yes, legend has it that every three hundred years of dryness in this dry well, it will come to life, and the spring water will inexplicably emerge from the well, and the first three scoops of water are quite miraculous." Qing Shui took advantage of the situation to pick up the lone scoop by the well and stretched it into the well.

"It's just ordinary well water, how can it be miraculous." Qin Yue didn't believe it.

"I've heard that after drinking it, everyone gets something different."

"Got it, it's different, have you drunk it?"

Qin Yue and Qing Shui asked and answered, their eyes facing each other.

"I drank it yesterday, this is the last scoop, do you want to try it." After Qing Shui finished speaking, he handed over the lone scoop full of well water in his hand.

Qin Yue hesitated for a while, but still took it, looking at the reflection of the clear water in the lonely scoop with a bright moon, the breeze gently stirred up a trace of waves, and said with a smile: "Could it be that you just drank the water in this well, got the magic effect, and became younger." ”

"The heart is young, the man is young, and the water only cleanses my heart." Shimizu replied.

Qin Yue didn't care, raised her head, and drank cleanly.

The well water was slightly sweet, the wind rubbed against the tight cloth, Qin Yue put the lonely scoop back in place, only to find that Qing Shui was staring into the distance.

"What are you looking at?" Qin Yue was curious.

Qing Shui pointed his finger into the distance, but he could look in the direction of his finger, and it was pitch black, and there was no light.

"It's black like this, does it look good?" Qin Yue was puzzled.

"Is it black, is it the heart black or the scene black?" Shimizu asked.

"Is there a difference?"

"Of course, you must understand that no matter how dark this world is, your heart can't be black."

"Why?"

"Because once the heart is dark, it is destined to go on."

Qin Yue pondered, slowly looked at Qing Shui, only to feel that a lightning bolt suddenly appeared between her eyes, as if she wanted to see a different world.
