Chapter 12: The Past
At the dinner table, the family had lunch, and there was silence.
"Mother, this is your favorite crispy little bamboo shoot, I heard the cook say that this bamboo shoot was dug from the bamboo forest outside the imperial capital this morning, how about you taste it?" Shangguan Yuyao saw her mother's tearful eyes, sighed in her heart, looked at her mother with a smile on her face, and raised her little face, as if she was begging for praise.
Li Shi hurriedly lowered his head and ate the dishes that his daughter picked into the bowl, and the tears fell into the bowl one by one, smashing on Shangguan Yuyao's heart, sour and astringent, and his chest seemed to be pressed against a stone.
"Father, mother, brother, I now live in the National Teacher's Mansion, in the imperial capital, I can sneak out of the wall to see you in the future. She tried to dispel the oppressive atmosphere in a mischievous tone.
"Yao'er, it's not that my father doesn't want you to go home, the national teacher said that you must reduce the time you spend with us in order to avoid the life and death disaster when you are eighteen years old. In the future, unless your master allows you, you are not allowed to come back without permission. ”
The prime minister has a lot of headaches about his daughter's disconnection, and in the entire imperial capital, no famous lady has climbed the wall. Besides, I told her before that she wanted to spend less time with her family, and sometimes she sneaked over the wall into the house, and when the secret guard told her, the person left again.
"Oh, my daughter got it. Shangguan Yuyao drooped her head, and suddenly, a broad palm gently touched the top of her head, and the warmth of her palm hit her heart through the top of her head, she looked up at her brother and smiled again.
After the meal, Shangguan Yuyao stood at the door with a bag of luggage on her shoulder, looked at the person she loved the most in front of her, gave everyone a big hug, waved her hand, and turned around to leave in a chic manner.
When she was about to turn the corner, looking back, the three of them were still standing in place looking at their backs, and the sunset was slanting, stretching the shadows of the three people, this scene, many years later, became the driving force to support her to go on.
Slowly paced to the National Teacher's Mansion, knocked on the door, walked in under the respectful gaze of the little maid, and walked to the gazebo in the morning, where the master sat upright, holding a cup of tea in his hand, and when he saw himself coming, he put down the teacup.
"Meet the Master. She stepped forward and said aloud.
"Get up, I don't have so many rules, this is the apprentice Yu Jue, it must be put away, if it falls, it is equivalent to being expelled from the division. Ling Anfeng took out a cyan jade jue from his arms and handed it to Shangguan Yuyao, the jade jue wrapped several red ropes around the upper and lower ends, and the red tassels below, fluttering in the wind, he said to the disciple lightly.
"Thank you, the apprentice will cherish it. Shangguan Yuyao bowed down and took it respectfully with both hands, originally wanted to hang it on her waist, but when she heard his words, she hurriedly hung it around her neck and put it close to her body.
"Well, sit down first, and I'll tell you about the past. Xiao Ning, you put Yu Yao's luggage in the Tilting Wind Pavilion, and you will be in charge of her daily life in the future," he instructed the maid standing upright next to him, and then turned his head to Shangguan Yuyao and explained, "The Tilting Wind Pavilion is next to my Wind Pavilion, and it will be your residence in the future." ”
The maid named Xiao Ning raised her head and stepped forward to take Shangguan Yuyao's luggage, her face was expressionless, her movements were neat, and she turned around and left directly.
"Ten years ago, your father came to me with you in his arms and asked me to take you as an apprentice, but at that time you were still an infant and ignorant of the world, and I sent him away on the grounds that you were too young. I didn't expect your father to come to the National Teacher's Mansion every day since then, and he didn't do anything else, just told me what you did every day, how many times you wet the bed, and how many times you cried.
I told the little guy not to open the door, and later, he was the prime minister of a country, and he actually asked his secret guard to carry him over the wall into the house," he didn't seem to have said so much for a long time, took the teacup and drank it all, then refilled it, and continued:
"I avoided him, he was waiting outside the door of Rufeng Pavilion, and the little guy in the house had to let him do it because of his identity. In this way, after three years, he was not discouraged, and finally when you were three years old, I promised him that I would just give you a chance. At the same time, I calculated that you were eighteen years old, and let them send you out of the house, let you wander outside, and you must not spend too long with your family. After Ling Anfeng finished speaking, he looked at the woman in front of him lightly, the outline of phoenix eyes was first revealed, the glass-colored eyes showed admiration at the moment, the delicate face was slightly red, and the pink mouth was slightly pouted.
He didn't ask that sentence, do you hate me, these years of suffering have made her qualified to hate herself.
"Thank you Master for giving the apprentice a chance. Shangguan Yuyao looked at the man in front of him with a smile, I heard my brother say that he doesn't seem to be aging, he will always be this immortal appearance, is this good or not, the people he loves around him are getting old, and he is forever young, endless life, a person comes alone, and walks alone, a person preserves all his emotions, maybe one day, memories disappear in the barren time along with emotions, and what remains is only a person's eternal life.
Embarking on the road of cultivating immortals, my parents and brothers grew old year after year, with gray hair, and finally I was left alone in this world, enduring loneliness, endless loneliness. Maybe there's a way for them to live forever, and they can't just grow old like that.
"Master, is there any way to make mortals immortal?" she looked at her master with anticipation, and hurriedly sat down and kowtowed respectfully.
"There are a lot of heavenly and earthly treasures, pill exercises, but the aura of the Dayan Dynasty is special, five hundred years ago, people's physique has adapted to spiritual power, and they can't cultivate chaos power now, so they become mortals who can't cultivate. Maybe in a few thousand years, they can cultivate the Chaos Force. Ling An said lightly.
"Then where is the genius earth treasure, the pill technique?" she asked without giving up.
"Those from the Great Yan Kingdom are only suitable for you, and those that are suitable for your family must go to the other four countries to find them, and your cultivation is too weak now, not as good as a five-year-old child in the four countries. However, I will try my best to teach you, but the process is cruel. "The national teacher presents the facts, and he doesn't care if it will hit people.
"I will work hard, please teach me to cultivate. Her eyes were full of determination and loudness.
"Do you see that flower field, there are one thousand and ninety-five Thousand Phantom Purple planted in it, and in the next time, you must take one Thousand Phantom Purple every day, all of which are indispensable. Wait for me here tomorrow, and I will tell you your homework for the day.
If your appearance is too dazzling, you will go out often in the future, and if you are discovered, you will cause trouble. This is the Ecostant, one for three months, during the period of use, you can change your appearance once a day.
This is a 10,000-mile talisman, which can be used twice, urged by your mind, in an instant, and there is only one per year.
This is a space bracelet, I have forced her to contract with you, wear it on your wrist, your cultivation is too low, the space inside will not be too large, I put some heaven-level cultivation exercises, and there are also some entry-level pill books, formations, you check it yourself, and test it every month. ”
Shangguan Yuyao looked at the things on the stone table and was very shocked, only then did she believe that she had entered the door of cultivating immortals. I feel that the effect of what the master has given him is a bit like a robber who robs a house.
took the white jade bracelet in his hand, and silently read it in his heart, and was shocked by the space inside, which was almost the size of the entire National Teacher's Mansion, and expressed doubts about the small in the master's mouth.
There are all kinds of wooden shelves inside, all kinds of things are placed, primary, intermediate and senior are placed in turn, and the word sundries are written on the other shelf, and the handwriting is elegant and chic.
Putting the things on the stone table into the jade bracelet, the dog-legged one picked up the tea cup for Shizun, licked his face and whispered, "Shizun, please drink tea." The voice was full of sincerity, Ling Anfeng raised her eyebrows, didn't say anything, took the teacup in her hand, sipped it lightly, and put down the teacup.
He stood up, glanced at her, and turned away.
