Chapter 4: The West Wind in Spring
The sunlight climbs up the green bamboo, sprinkles the red flowers, and the small courtyard is under the red sun, blurring a morning spring scene.
Hua Ke's eyes slowly opened, and she sat up groggily, this sleep was too heavy, as if she had slept for a thousand years.
The sandalwood smoke in the house curls in the morning light, and the faint fragrance gently wafts to her snort.
She patted her headache with her jade hand, as if she was more awake. She looked left and right, and found that she had slept on the red bed, and the silk quilt was still warm and covered herself.
It should be Xiaohai who carried me here.
She thought this in the morning light, and her white face was as white as two red balls suddenly smeared on her cheeks. She lifted the quilt again and looked at herself, the red dress and white veil were still intact on herself. Her face was flushed and stained, and she puffed out her mouth and said dissatisfiedly: "Don't you even think about me when you're drunk?"
In her heart, she was inexplicably angry: "That lazy pig must not have gotten up yet!"
Hua Ke in front of the bronze mirror, slowly combing the black silk, slowly wiping rouge, lightly applying lip grease, at this time Ri climbed to a higher place, after she finished dressing, she walked towards the ancient sea house, she pushed open the door, stepped over the threshold, only to realize that he was no longer there.
Why did he wake up so early today?
She was like a butterfly in the spring breeze, jumping to the backyard.
Gu Hai danced around with gusts of wind, and the young leaves of spring were pitifully folded into fallen leaves around him, flying all over the sky beside his light body.
Hua Ke saw that there was a smile on the corner of his mouth while waving, and he knew that his melancholy yesterday had disappeared.
"What nerves are you having so early this morning?"
She frowned, curious words on her lips.
Although Gu Hai's sad face has gone, it is not normal for him to suddenly become excited.
When Gu Hai heard this wonderful sound like a yellow warbler, he immediately stopped the stick in his hand. Suddenly, the emerald fallen leaves fell between him and Hua Ke.
He suddenly smiled like a child, and said happily: "Ke'er, prepare the wine and food today, Wang Xuan's predecessor is coming here!"
Hua Ke was stunned and exclaimed, "You found him?"
"Yes!" Gu Hai grinned rarely, beads of sweat as he spoke, like dew sliding down from the green silk.
"When and where did you find it?" Hua Ke's face was full of doubt.
He was drunk with himself, where was the time to look for it?
"In a dream!"
Gu Haiyu smiled, and his face was always straight, if there were flowers blooming.
But as soon as he said this, Hua Ke hurriedly stretched out his red palm and touched his forehead: "Are you sure you're not sick?" Or, is the wine really awake?"
Gu Hai looked excited, only heard the word "wine" in Hua Ke's words, his expression was like a stone falling on his head, he slapped his forehead, and said loudly: "Yes, wine, there is no good wine here!"
said that Hua Ke in front of him, if empty, seemed to be invisible. After that, he will point the flowers and leaves, like an egret, and fly towards the blue sky and the early sun.
Hua Ke's head instantly burned with flames, and there seemed to be thunder in her eyes, her tactful voice no longer existed, and she yelled in the silent courtyard: "What kind of madness is this?"
After a while, he carried two jars of apricot blossom wine in his left and right hands and fell.
"You're really angry with me! Didn't I just drink with you yesterday, why did you drink again?" Hua Ke's eyes widened, and he blew his hair in anger.
Gu Hai couldn't stop smiling on his face, holding the wine jar, and only repeated: "Senior Wang Xuan is coming today!"
Hua Ke stood under the shadow of the bamboo in the green forest, listening to the sound of the wine stirring in the wine jar, watching Gu Hai walk in front of him with a cheerful and smiling face, she said angrily in her heart: "I think he must be a cultivator and a sorrowful matter coupled with yesterday's wine, and he is stunned! How can the things in the dream be taken seriously? No one will come today, see how I make fun of him later!"
The sunlight is climbing inch by inch, and at this moment, it has been more wooden, where the city is sprinkled with golden light.
Hua Ke held his cheeks, blew his hair, and waited bored in the sandalwood smoke.
Gu Hai saw that Hua Ke didn't understand him, so he set up the wine and food by himself.
In front of the mahogany table, in the blue and white plate, roast chicken, pig's trotters, roast duck, etc. lay peacefully, and the fire in the iron basin danced, gently caressing the bottom of the wine jug. The aroma of this wine and food, mixed with the curling sandalwood, lingered in this hut.
Hua Ke had not entered the dripping water, but now the fragrance entered her stomach from her nose, causing her stomach to turn over and over, and she kept making a rolling sound.
She couldn't bear it anymore, and she picked up the chopsticks and was about to pick up the vegetables, but was stopped by Gu Hai.
"Ke'er, the seniors have not arrived, it is too rude to move the chopsticks first. ”
Hua Ke suddenly became angry again, and in his heart, he only felt that the ancient sea demon was stunned, and said angrily: "That's just your dream fantasy, you still take it seriously, no one will come at all! Don't stop me, I'm going to eat it now!"
As she spoke, the chopsticks in her hand rushed to the plate of food, and just as she was about to grab a piece of fatty braised pork, a golden light swept in front of her, and then the braised pork disappeared under her chopsticks.
Hua Ke thought it was Gu Hai's action, and raised his head and shouted at him: "Xiaohai, you ......"
She only exhaled half of her words, and the other half of the words swallowed in her shocked face.
Opposite her seat, where the shadow of the daylight and bamboo just fell obliquely, an old man with gray hair suddenly appeared. He sat on a bench, holding gold chopsticks in one hand and a jade bowl in the other, then put the braised pork in his mouth and chewed it with relish. His gray beard followed his mouth and kept shaking, and from time to time there was a compliment: "Incense, incense!"
Gu Hai was overjoyed when he saw this scene, this image was very similar to one of the people sitting in the green mountain in his sleep yesterday, and he quickly got up to greet him.
"It's Wang Xuan's senior?"
Gu Hai was respectful, for fear that something would be wrong and scare the old man away.
And this old man, if he didn't hear it, was like a robber, greedily sandwiched the chicken, duck and fish meat in his jade bowl with the golden chopsticks in his hand.
The bowl of food was piled up.
The old man didn't say a word, opened his mouth, and devoured it.
I saw that in the eyes of Gu Hai and Hua Ke, the sound of the old man eating and the wind and thunder sounded in their ears.
Gu Hai saw it in his eyes, and the immortal aura of yesterday had disappeared.
When Hua Ke saw his appearance, doubts rose in his heart, this is the person the two of them have been looking for?
He was shocked to see that he was not an ordinary old man. But he actually came with gold chopsticks and jade bowls, I'm afraid that it wasn't a cultivator who smelled the aroma and came to eat rice, right?
If the old man heard something, he suddenly stopped. Then he held the chicken leg in his hand, opened his greasy mouth, and said: "Little girl, let me emphasize, I bring my own dishes and chopsticks, but I love to be clean, not to eat and drink." ”
After speaking, he grabbed another pig's trotter with his other dead wood, and the mouth on the white beard immediately got busy, with a chicken leg on the left and a pig's trotter on the right.
Hua Kexing's eyes seemed to be rounder again, and her cherry mouth opened in shock, this old man could actually read his own mind!
"Of course, this is a supernatural ability that can already be done in the Void God Realm. ”
The old man replied in a muffled voice as he was busy swallowing his food.
Gu Hai saw all this in his eyes, listened to what the old man said, and saw that the old man had great powers, he was even more pleased, and hurriedly poured wine for the old man, and asked cautiously: "The predecessor is Wang Xuangao?"
The old man nodded, and then ate again.
Gu Hai was even more pleased, so he opened his mouth again and asked, "What do you mean by the Void God Realm just now? The younger generation has always only heard that the end of the Imperial Weapon Technique is the Purple Stone Realm. ”
The old man didn't raise his head, he used the wine in the wine glass as a throat moisturizer, poured it into his mouth, and then the food droplets splashed in his mouth, he only said vaguely: "After eating, let's talk after eating." ”
Gu Hai and Hua Ke watched him finish the seven dishes and one soup on the table alone. Then, he stroked his bulging belly and said comfortably, "I haven't eaten so much in more than ten years." ”
There seemed to be cold sweat dripping from Gu Hai and Hua Ke's heads, and Gu Hai asked repeatedly, "Can the seniors tell me more about cultivating immortals now?"
As soon as this question came out, the breath on the old man's body changed into a person, and the fairy wind of yesterday seemed to be enveloped in his body, and even the white beard and hair were all fluttering in the breeze, as if flowing out of the fairy energy.
He squinted his eyes, stroked his beard, then looked at Hua Ke and shook his head, only raised his glass and drank, and said nothing.
The charcoal fire spread the sound of boiling wine to the ears of the three of them, and Hua Ke also knew what Wang Xuan meant, so he retreated to his room.
Gu Hai saw Hua Ke's figure when he retreated, and he felt a little unbearable in his heart.
Now there are only two people left in the house, Wang Xuan put the wine glass on the table, and asked, "How do you feel about fighting with Canghe's disciples yesterday?"
Gu Hai listened to this question, and the world of ink and wash appeared in front of him, if the green shadow of the law fluttered from the wine glass, the weapon in the Longfu illustrated book seemed to be projected from the bamboo shadow outside the window.
He replied truthfully: "Both of them are unfathomable, and I can still fight with them, but I should have no power to resist the man named Longfu." ”
Wang Xuan still stroked his beard and nodded, "You feel good." Have you ever thought that both of them are disciples of Canghe, so if you compare with Canghe, what strength do you have?"
In recent years, Gu Hai, who has always been confident in his chest, seems to have become the hairy boy who is just learning immortal cultivation at this moment, he shook his head and said, "That must not be." ”
When Gu Hai finished answering this sentence, he thought that the cranes in Wang Xuan's mouth were so powerful, so how powerful should Wang Xuan, who was of the same status as him in front of him and held an artifact in his hand?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed by the idea of defeating Wang Xuan and obtaining his artifact supernatural powers.
My previous tone was too big.
After Gu Hai's heart moved, he asked puzzledly: "The crane that the seniors just talked about, the younger generations have not heard of his name. Why is it that no one knows about such a profound person in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, and his predecessors are so unfathomable, there must be other realms after the Purple Stone Realm, right?"
Wang Xuan poured another glass of wine, put it to his lips, and said quietly: "I came today to inform you of these things. Young people, you must first understand one thing, where are the truly strong hidden in the world. They are like tigers and leopards, hiding in the deep forest, and when the immortal gate is opened, they will pounce on their claws and fierce fangs and get the only chance to become immortals. Therefore, most of the people who can get the name of the common people exist like weeds, which seem to be lush, but in fact they are vulnerable. ”
If this sentence has the breath of ice and snow for thousands of years, it will reach Gu Hai's heart.
Wang Xuan didn't take into account Gu Hai's heart, and continued: "The name of Gu Hai, I have also heard it in recent years. That day, you fought with the hateful building, and I also saw it. Now that you have reached the peak of the Purple Stone Realm, you are about to enter the Void God Realm. ”
"Is the Purple Stone Realm really not the highest realm?" Gu Hai was overjoyed when he heard this, it turned out that he still had a lot of room for improvement.
Wang Xuan thought that he talked too much and the wine glass was too small, so he directly picked up the wine jug, drank it with a bang, and then explained to Gu Hai: "Nowadays, the techniques of imperial weapons, forging methods, and Taoism that everyone cultivates are the three kinds of immortal cultivation techniques in the Heavenly Realm. When these three immortal cultivation techniques reach the end of the Shuntian realm, they will all step into the same zone, which is the anti-heaven realm. ”
"What is the Adverse Heaven Realm? The Adverse Heaven Realm is the realm of disobeying the orders of heaven and earth and obtaining the power of the gods with the body of a mortal. This realm is divided into four realms, first the Void God Realm, then the Sub-God Realm, then the Ying God Realm, and finally the Fu God Realm. ”
Wang Xuan's words, if the sound was muffled and thunderous, shook the heart of the ancient sea.
It turns out that I am still far from being the strongest!
"Then how do I get into the Heavens Realm?" Gu Hai couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart and couldn't help asking.
Wang Xuan then replied: "To enter the Heavenly Realm, you need to bear the calamities that come from heaven. This calamity is divided into two kinds, one is the physical calamity - the heavenly thunder tribulation, and the other is the spiritual calamity - the emotional calamity. Of these two calamities, the heavens will send one of them at will. Therefore, if you want to survive the four realms against the sky, you have to endure a heavenly thunder tribulation or love tribulation every time you enter a realm. ”
After Gu Hai listened, before he had time to be surprised, Wang Xuan added: "Whether it is the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation or the Love Tribulation, it is difficult for ordinary people to get through. You have to understand that the heavens are robbing, that is, to prevent mortals from obtaining the power of the gods. If the calamity can be easily overcome, won't heaven and earth be turned upside down?"
After listening to this, Gu Hai nodded, but he still had a slight question: "That senior, what is the difference between the Reverse Heaven Realm and the Shuntian Realm?"
"What's the difference? Just try it, I'm already in the Void God Realm. ”
After Wang Xuan finished speaking, he held the golden chopsticks in his hand.
When Gu Hai heard this, he also knew what Wang Xuan meant, he picked up the wooden chopsticks on the table, and waved them towards Wang Xuan as swift as a dragon in his hand.
Wang Xuan's face was leisurely, his posture was as calm as a green mountain, he seemed to know Gu Hai's thoughts, and he blocked Gu Hai's attack in advance.
"Smack!" the wooden chopsticks hit the golden chopsticks, making a crisp sound.
Seeing that the first blow was ineffective, Gu Hai withdrew the wooden chopsticks in his hand and waved them quickly again. This time, like a torrential rain, the wooden chopsticks in Gu Hai's hand were no longer visible, only out of the air, making a swishing sound like flying arrows.
Although the attack was swift, in Wang Xuan's eyes, Gu Hai's thoughts seemed to be transparent in front of him, and the golden chopsticks in his hand continued to flash golden rays in the sunlight, blocking Gu Hairuo's torrential attack with accuracy every time.
Although they had two chopsticks in their hands, when they hit each other, they also shook the table wood, the bed cloth swayed, and the sandalwood green smoke was swept out of the window by the gusts of wind.
Gu Hai was extremely unwilling in his heart, and in the middle of the attack, he picked up another wooden chopstick, and another torrential rain hit Wang Xuan.
But that Wang Xuan did not pick up the other golden chopsticks on the table, he still remained silent, and continued to use that golden chopsticks to block the two storms from Gu Hai's hands with extraordinary accuracy.
When Wang Xuan blocked it, his calm posture like a mountain suddenly disappeared in front of Gu Hai's eyes in an instant.
When Gu Hai stopped attacking and was about to look for him, a golden chopstick was already on Gu Hai's back, as long as Wang Xuan was willing to exert force, the golden chopsticks could directly penetrate Gu Hai's heart from behind.
"If you really fight, you're dead. ”
Wang Xuan's deep voice, like a gust of cold wind from the thousand-year-old iceberg, swept into Gu Hai's chest.
Gu Hai bowed his hand and said politely: "The predecessor is really powerful, but he lost in the next." ”
Wang Xuan put away the golden chopsticks, sat on the bench again, and said, "In my life, I have only entered the Void God Realm. In the battle just now, you have already realized that the magic power of the Void God Realm is that you can perceive the spiritual world of others better than ordinary people, and you can also pass through a little space. ”
Gu Hai recalled the process of fighting just now, and personally realized the subtleties of this Void God Realm.
At this moment, he can't wait to cross the catastrophe immediately and enter the adverse realm immediately.
Wang Xuan saw that there seemed to be a high-spirited flame in his eyes, raised his wine glass, and said, "I came today, in addition to the matter of cultivating immortals, there are two important things to inform you. First, among the immortal cultivators of your generation, there have been a few people with such qualifications as you before. It's just that later, for unknown reasons, they all died in accidents, and ...... Thereinto...... And my poor boy......"
At this point, his voice trembled, as if he had dried up his eyes, and no tears flowed from his eyes, and he continued, "If my child is still alive, he should have the same cultivation as you. I see a little bit of him in you. Therefore, I am here to remind you to be more careful, I have always suspected that someone is secretly killing these good seedlings. ”
When Gu Hai heard this, his heart warmed, and he poured another glass of wine for Wang Xuan, and thanked him: "Thank you seniors for reminding him." ”
Wang Xuan picked up the wine glass, ran it down his throat, and poured the wine on his heart.
Then, he said, "There is another matter, I said just now that you have reached the peak of the Shuntian Realm, and you are about to cross the tribulation and enter the Adverse Heaven Realm. And I see that you are in high spirits, but I have to pour cold water on you. Although my eyes are dizzy, I can faintly see that you are about to experience a calamity, and it should be a love calamity. ”
The word love robbery constantly thunderbolted in Gu Hai's heart. As soon as the word love is mentioned, Hua Ke, a childhood sweetheart, floats in front of his eyes.
He had agreed with her to go to the Xianlai Island together and see the flowers bloom together.
If you experience a love catastrophe, will you be involved in Hua Ke, who has been silently guarding herself?
Or, between the two, there are all kinds of accidents?
Perhaps, one day, there will be mountains and seas between the two that cannot be crossed.
The more Gu Hai thought about it, the more panicked he became.
Wang Xuan put down the wine glass and said, "That's why I let that girl out." Whether to continue to practice and experience the love calamity, or to keep her in place, you can choose for yourself. ”
After Wang Xuan finished speaking, he was like a carefree immortal and disappeared.
All that remained were empty wine glasses and empty wooden stools.
Gu Hai looked out the window, at this moment, the green bamboo is green, the flowers are red, and the time is just right.
It just so happened that Hua Ke was in the spring breeze, with a smile, fluttering like a colorful butterfly.
Do you continue to practice, or do you want to keep Hua Ke for the rest of your life?
Such a question is like the west wind in spring, blowing in the heart of the ancient sea.
