Chapter 62: Growing Lonely (2/2)
The most hidden place in Myofa Valley.
Wan Qing held the jade cup in his hand, which was worth enough to make a real person's flesh hurt, standing in front of the house, the cold plum in this courtyard had fallen for thousands of years, knocked on the door gently, and shouted softly: "Master Ancestor......"
No one responded for a long time.
Wan Qing felt strange in his heart, said a word of guilt in his mouth, stretched out his hand and gently pushed open the wooden door, and looked inside, the elegant room was empty, the wind blew in, the sword spike on the wall shook slightly, Wan Qing was slightly stunned, and put the jade cup on the table.
Walked quickly to the inside of the house, and said, "Master, your medicine." ”
"Master?"
When he entered the back room, he didn't see the old man who only quietly recalled the past in the past, and saw a purple strange flower in the flower pot next to him, and the petals of the flowers and leaves were curled up, Wan Qingqu pointed to the flowers and leaves, and said, "Have you ever seen where the ancestor has gone?
The flower stretched out rather lazily, seemed to think, did not respond for a long time, and slowed down for a while, before it seemed to finally react, and said in a human voice:
"Master, ......"
"I remembered, her old man said that Miaofa Valley is so lively today, she also wants to go out to breathe and relax. ”
"Distracted?"
Wan Qing was stunned, subconsciously raised his voice, and his willow eyebrows were slightly erected, knowing that the old ancestor's life was already at the end of his life, but he had just survived for more than a thousand years, and it was rumored that his appearance had changed from twenty-eight years to his current white-haired, old-fashioned appearance, and he no longer moved around on weekdays.
In the past three hundred years, I have never stepped out of this courtyard, how can I suddenly want to relax?
Could it be ......
Wan Qing felt a sigh in his heart, and suddenly remembered the words of returning to the light, and his face became not very good-looking.
The strange flower also seemed to feel that she was derelict in her duties, and said:
"This, this mortal immortal has the instinct of a whim, and can feel the things and crises that are very important to him, and the ancestor will only cultivate above the ordinary immortals, or, or have a similar feeling, so she took the initiative to step out of this courtyard. ”
Wan Qing was anxious and angry, lost his previous composure, and said hurriedly:
"Don't you know that the patriarch's life is now being continued with treasure medicine?!How bitter is the longevity of ten thousand years, walking out of this courtyard, every step is a re-consumption of life, red dust, every step is bitter, what is the matter, can't you talk to us?! You, you are like this!"
Naqihua didn't dare to say any more.
Wan Qing threw it down, turned around and flew out of the courtyard, and when he came out, he formed a Dharma seal, and when it was, all the core disciples of the Mystic Law Valley, no matter how high their cultivation was, what they were doing at the moment, whether they were practicing retreat, or entertaining distinguished guests, talking and laughing with old friends, all changed their complexion in unison.
In just a moment, those disciples with superb means all put down what they were doing, and flew out together, looking for the ancestor who left, but the place where the Miaofa Valley suppressed tens of thousands of miles, it was a wonderful realm of cultivation in the demon country, covering an extremely vast area, and there was no shortage of spells similar to those in the sleeve, hiding a huge space in a very small place.
And for some reason, they couldn't publicize this matter, and for a while, they couldn't find any trace at all, and they couldn't help but become more and more anxious.
..................
At the formation of the mountain gate of the Miaofa Valley, the clouds surged.
Zhao Li saw the plainly dressed old woman, stunned for a while, then bowed slightly, took the initiative to say hello, the old woman's eyes were very clean, light brown, slightly widened, looking at Zhao Li, as if he didn't expect to see guests here, as if he didn't expect to see guests here, his breathing seemed to stop slightly.
It took a few breaths before I came back to my senses, and my eyes were bright.
The old man smiled slightly, raised his hands, bowed, and said:
"Immortal Chief, why did you come so late?"
Is this being asked directly face-to-face why you are late?
Zhao was slightly embarrassed, and complained silently, if he directly said that the road was delayed, it didn't seem to be in line with the positioning of Shushan Baimei, his heart moved slightly, he made a sharp move, looked at the old woman in front of him with both eyes, held the sword in his right hand, and said in a flat tone:
"If it weren't for this time, how could I have a view at this time, and everything would be just right like a sword. ”
"It's not too late. ”
The old woman's light brown eyes were low, and she was silent, and said with a slight smile:
"What the Immortal Chief said makes sense. ”
The clouds and mist dispersed again, it seemed that it was because the Miaofa Valley inside noticed that someone had been in the formation, and finally sent a disciple out to see what was going on, it was a young man who was only a teenager, and his face seemed to be a little reluctant, and when he saw the old woman and Zhao Li, he was slightly stunned, and then hurriedly caught up, and said:
"Xuanyi, a disciple in the Lower Mystic Law Valley, are the two of you guests who came to my Mystic Law Valley to observe the ceremony today?"
Zhao left his head and took out the talisman with his backhand.
Its jade color is clear, obviously a guest, and the young man was also taken aback, and hurriedly saluted, explaining that just now because of something, many disciples just went back to the mountain gate, and the rudeness is not to blame, Zhao Li shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't care.
The young disciple breathed a sigh of relief, took a step to the side, stretched out his hand, and said with a smile:
"Then, two seniors, please come with your disciples. ”
Zhao Li bowed his head and stepped forward, the old woman took a step slower than him, and also followed, his steps were unhurried, just similar to Zhao Li's speed, just following him, his eyes looked quietly at the hem of the clothes, the blue and white Taoist robe exposed with walking, stunned, Xuanyi was in front, leading the way, while explaining the roadside scenery, since he is a disciple of Miaofa Valley, he will naturally not be a human being.
Although he looks like he is only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, his body has been cultivated for at least three or five hundred years.
Practicing in this place for a long time, for the surrounding environment and buildings, who built it, and what allusions, know it well, tell all the way, walk through a cloud bridge, under the bridge to the clouds and mist for the river, there are carp turning clouds, up and down, Xuanyi stopped, pointed to the carp and smiled:
"Two seniors, please look, don't underestimate this fish, let alone have five hundred years of Taoism. ”
"Older than me, listening to the Dharma every day, taking the elixir, cultivating to be profound, can be big or small, big can be more than ten zhang, small is smaller than the thumb, I have to call Uncle Li, only one day, can cross this cloud bridge, at least can turn into a dragon, fade the appearance of a carp, and achieve the strength of a demon king. ”
"The two seniors should be a little careful, don't disturb this Uncle Li, provoke him to be angry, stir the clouds and mist to beat up, and they can't hurt the two of them, but it's not good. ”
The carp swallowed clouds and mist, and looked lazy.
Hearing Xuanyi's words, he bared his teeth and grinned, and was about to get angry, but just when he raised it, he saw the old woman with silver hair and brown eyes, and saw the swordsman with a hat and a mixed yuan sword in one hand.
"This ......"
Xuan Yi was slightly stunned, just now he was planning to let this carp spirit monster be majestic, and then show the wonders of his magic valley again, who would have thought that it would be this end, he smiled embarrassedly at the moment, and continued to lead Zhao Li and the two forward, in the center of the immortal pavilion here, there is a floating platform.
Above is a huge statue like a hill, from the most remote part of this Xuan Miao Valley can be seen clearly, the statue is a man and a woman, the man is dressed in Taoist robes, his bearing is quite elegant and sharp, holding a broad sword in one hand, looking into the distance, and behind him, is a girl with hanging hair, looking immature, carrying a sword, following the Taoist.
The three of them stopped.
Xuanyi said proudly:
"This is the center of my Mystic Law Valley, the statue of my patriarch. ”
"This is going to test the two seniors, I don't know the two seniors, what do you think of me sending the ancestor sword?"
The old woman didn't answer, and looked at Zhao Li with a pair of brown eyes.
Zhao Li had already recognized that this person was the disguised appearance of the 10,000-year-old monster at that time, and recognized that the drooping girl was the patriarch of the Miaofa Valley who was named Yun Ying'er, the long swords of the two were different, and the question asked by Xuan Yi was naturally deliberate, and it could be regarded as using some innocuous small questions and small jokes to bring the relationship between Xuan Miaogu and the visitor closer.
Most people will think that the person is the ancestor, and the answer also revolves around the broadsword.
However, because I found the wrong target in the first place, the better the answer, the more wrong it is.
Zhao Li looked at the girl's statue and his eyebrows fluttered, his face was full of innocence, thinking of the old monster's vicious thoughts, he couldn't help but feel complicated, sighed slightly, attracting the attention of the two people around, Zhao Li groaned, raised his eyes, and when he answered Xuanyi, he still subconsciously used the words that the old monster said when he taught Yun Ying's swordsmanship, and said plainly:
"Your ancestor was still young at that time, his strength was insufficient, but his footwork was agile, and the sword he used should naturally be a light sword. ”
"The sword walks lightly, combined with the body method, advances and retreats freely, turns as you wish, and waits until the breath is long, the cultivation is improved, and then from the light spirit to the swift and sharp, go fast. ”
The old man next to him was stunned for a long time, his light brown eyes lowered.
Xuanyi was stunned and said with a dry smile: "Before, what the predecessors said was the best. ”
Zhao Li stood with his hands in his hands, looked at the statue, and sighed in his heart, as soon as Xuan saw this, he only thought that he was interested in the past of the Miaofa Valley, so he immediately said something that was not very critical, and said with a smile: "According to legend, it is just rumored that the ancestor of my sect was able to meet this immortal chief when he was young, and he was passed on to the sword technique and supernatural powers, which opened up the vein of my Miaofa Valley." ”
"Since then, the Patriarch has been waiting for the Immortal Elder to come back, but he has never waited. ”
"Some say they have waited for hundreds of years, some say they have waited for thousands of years, and some say they have waited for 10,000 years. ”
"We all feel and admire in our hearts, but we don't understand ......"
The old woman's voice was gentle, and she said:
"What don't you understand? Isn't it worth waiting for a long time to preach and teach and solve doubts, and have the grace of life, and the grace to recreate?"
Xuanyi didn't know how to answer.
The old man's voice was peaceful, thinking of the fact that he was almost devoured by the snake demon when he was young, the sudden sword aura that came from outside the sky, and the immortal who was against the light, as if he was like a god, before this, her life was only endless escape and struggle to survive, but after this, she was able to have a peaceful place to live, a teacher, watch Hanmei fall, and listen to the chess piece Ding Ding.
Although the life span is very long, that period will always be in the depths of her heart.
The flat voice shattered the memory.
Zhao Li looked at the statue, shook his head when he heard the words, his voice was cold, and said, "It's not worth it." ”
The old man was stunned and looked up.
The eyes of several people around him also looked at each other, with strange looks.
Zhao Li recalled that in this world, even the demon clan attached great importance to the teacher and repaying the favor, and because he saw everything comprehensively, he said what he thought in his heart, which was strange to them, and he couldn't say the true thoughts of the old monster.
At the moment, I groaned slightly, and I had a plan.
Zhao Li held the sword in his right hand and said in a flat tone:
"March time...... It's not just the patriarchs of your sect who have been benefited and taught. ”
"Even the so-called immortals, why haven't they been rewarded by themselves?"
"The dining style and drinking Xia have been thousands of years, and some people are waiting in Hongchen. ”
"Wake up every day, there is a sip of hot tea, a meal of coarse rice, when playing chess, watch the children's chess road, idle to watch the flowers bloom and clouds, after the rain falls, there are flowers falling on the chessboard, ripples in the lotus pond, for him, this three months of time is also precious. ”
"That immortal, you should also hope that after the ancestor of your sect leaves him, he will also be able to be himself happily. ”
"Laugh and laugh, cry and be bitter, have three or five friends, ask for immortals to visit, do what you like, be careful in everything, but get along in March, why bother to take your life? Is it worth it? ”
Zhao Li stretched out his hand, and a plum blossom fell on his palm, and the man whispered.
"Growing up lonely and miserable, wandering ......and helpless"
He raised his eyes, and naturally looked at the old woman, who was slightly more familiar with him, and his voice was not very gentle, and said:
"Fellow Daoist, do you think so?"
