Really?

Bai Zhi also raised his eyes to look at the young man in white in front of the mountain road, and his heart sank slightly, and then this 'slight sink' gradually dissolved, becoming a silent melancholy that could not be left in his heart.

What is it that makes her not believe in the world, fearless of cause and effect in the world, and alone above the wind?

"Actually," Yun Sheng walked to Bai Zhihuan's side, "There are some things that Lord Shen Xiang said, and there is no need to delve into them at all. She is used to feeling it and dying without a problem. ”

Bai Zhi also turned his head to look at the young man who came to his side, his eyes flashed slightly, "How long have you been with Lord Shen Xiang?" ”

This sentence is actually not appropriate, but Yun Sheng didn't mind, "About three months." ”

Trimester?

Bai Zhi also thought for a while, and then said, "It turns out that you are from the Bai family in Tuzhou. ”

Yun Sheng didn't expect him to guess so quickly, and was stunned for a moment.

"The people who followed Lord Shen Xiang were really extraordinary." Yun Sheng raised his eyebrows and laughed.

Bai Zhi was also silent, and said, "Because only the 'extraordinary' person can be used by her." ”

Yun Sheng does not deny this sentence, but he also does not fully agree with "We, who are 'extraordinary', are not asking for things from her?" Whether it is extraordinary or not, the interests of people are always mutual. ”

Bai Zhi still can't admit that Yun Sheng's words are very reasonable, and it can even be said that whether it is Lord Shen Xiang or Gu Xiang, the truth they believe in their hearts is also this.

But such "truth" inevitably makes people feel pitiful.

"You're going faster, what's the matter, it's fun to whisper behind my back?" I never saw them follow, and finally I couldn't help but turn around and yell at them.

Bai Zhi and Yun Sheng also glanced at each other, silently at the same time, and walked briskly along the mountain road.

"What's the matter with you guys? Isn't Fang Cai Mo saying bad things about me? I looked back and forth between them, suspicious.

Bai Zhi hadn't answered yet, but Yun Sheng was grinning, as if he and Bai Zhi really didn't say anything about me just now.

"My lord, can the nine iris flowers of Yong'an Mountain look better than the hydrangeas of Qilian Mountain?" Yun Sheng asked me curiously.

"Well......" I hesitated for a moment, "it's all pretty." ”

"Can't you choose which flower is your favorite?" Yun Sheng looked at me, and there seemed to be starlight beating in his eyes.

I turned my head and looked at the lush mountain landscape, with the long wind blowing and the birds chirping.

"After walking for another hour, we will be able to see the Yong'an Taoist Temple in the mountain, and these nine kites will bloom in the col in the backyard of the Yong'an Taoist Temple."

Yun Sheng was obviously a little disappointed when he didn't hear my answer directly, but he didn't get to the bottom of it, just followed me up the mountain little by little.

For the rest of the time, the three of us didn't speak, and we walked the road under our feet intently, until the four big words "Yong'an Taoist Temple" appeared in front of us.

Bai Zhi also knocked on the door of the Taoist temple first, and after the Taoist priest who opened the door asked us about our intention, he let us into the Taoist temple.

We were led by a Taoist priest in front of us, passing through high-rise buildings and pavilions, bypassing bamboo forests, pines and cypresses, and finally passing through a stone path to the location of the Nine Kites.

We are in a high place, and we can't go down the mountain col, we can only look down from the top, and the strong wind blowing in our faces from time to time makes our cheeks a little painful.

"That's what it is...... Nine iris? Yun Sheng looked at the col in a daze, and felt that his breath was suffocating.

Vast expanses of deep purple flowers bloomed in the deep rocks, and they sank into the most desolate depths of the earth with only a thin rhizome, and the huge flowers floated in the air, as if they could go with the mountain wind, to the sky, to the highest and most holy places.

However, none of the flowers were shaking, except for the slight trembling at the edges of the petals, and even the layers of wrapped stamens were so straight and straight.

It is said that on the other side of the dark flower, there are leaves without flowers, and there are flowers without leaves, but the flowers of the nine kites have never been accompanied by green leaves.

When autumn falls, she begins to sprout, grow, and spit out the most beautiful and deepest flowers, and when the winter snow falls, she withers and falls again, turning into an inconspicuous speck of dust in the mountains.

All things are born from exhaustion, and the nine shades sink and are empty.

I've seen the nine irises on the mountain many times, but none of them can I understand. I have never known whether such a sad and holy flower yearns for the sunshine and freedom without concern, or is willing to fall into darkness and the suffering of the world.

"You're here to see her again." Romance

There was a waveless and traceless sound behind him, Yun Sheng and Bai Zhi heard it, and immediately turned their heads to look, but I didn't move.

"She's so good-looking, I just come to see it every year, isn't it an exaggeration?" I wanted to laugh, but I could barely pull the corners of my mouth with all my strength.

In the end, it is difficult to calm down.

"But every time you come to look, you always bring different people."

Footsteps approached, and I had to face him.

"The flowers are similar every year, and the people are different every year, this is life, Qingping Daochang." I turned to look at him, and the smile on my face was much more sincere.

Qingping looked at me, and there was no grief or joy in those moonless and windless eyes, as before.

"Your life is too complicated, it takes a lifetime, and you can't understand her true meaning, in the future, it's better for you not to come."

"Why do you always love to hurt people so much?" I smiled and approached him a little closer, and then introduced him, "This is Bai Zhihuan, my temporary guard, and this is Yun Sheng, my friend." ”

Although Bai Zhi and Yun Sheng didn't know what the extraordinary Dao Master in front of them had to do with me, they would not forget the etiquette they should have because they had doubts in their hearts.

Yun Sheng arched his hand, "Qingping Dao is long." ”

Bai Zhi also clenched his fists, "Dao Chief." ”

Qingping didn't seem to like these polite things, so he simply nodded to them and didn't look at them again.

"We're going to stay in the gazebo over there for a while, do you want to come along?" Qingping has always been such a cold temperament, and I didn't care too much, so I just pointed to a small pavilion in the north with the words "Nine Kite Pavilion" in the north and asked him.

Kiyohei didn't respond to my invitation, just looked at me and shook his head slightly.

"Someone will bring you tea." After saying this sentence lightly, Qingping turned around and left.

"He doesn't always say much." Looking at the back of him leaving, I couldn't help but sigh with Bai Zhihuan and Yun Sheng, "I don't know what kind of fun he has in the Taoist temple all day long." ”

"He is a cultivator, and his state of mind is probably different from ours." Bai Zhi replied.

"Yes, he's an outsider from the Red Dust Side, what can he say to us fools?" Yun Sheng should have returned the words with Bai Zhi, but there was another cunning in his eyes, "I said, Lord Shen Xiang, a person like Daoist Qingping, how did you deal with him?" ”

Dealing?

I looked up and thought about it, and then walked towards the Nine Kite Pavilion, and said, "It's not a secret, I met him ten years ago, that year I first went to Yuande Temple with my grandmother, visited the host of Yuande Temple, and then came to this Yong'an Taoist Temple, and talked to the Taoist chief here, at that time Qingping was only a six or seven-year-old little Taoist child." ”

I couldn't help but laugh when I remembered the first time I saw them.

"At that time, he was the little tail of his teachers, and he always held a scripture book in his hand, one today, one tomorrow, without any duplicates, but strangely, I never saw him read these scriptures, nor did I see him write them."

"That's weird." Yun Sheng found a place near the Nine Kite and sat down, "I've never heard of a Taoist priest not chanting." ”

"That's how strange he is," I sat down at the stone table, "and I stayed here for a month when my grandmother lived here. It is inevitable that I will feel bored in this month, and he is the only one in the entire Taoist temple who is about the same age as me, plus in my childhood, I am curious, so I follow him all day long, he eats, I eat, he reads the scriptures, I also read the scriptures, he rests at night, I make a bunk next to his bed. ”

"Aren't you also his little tail?" Yun Sheng laughed at me.

Bai Zhi was still sitting opposite me, and when he heard Yun Sheng say this, he also said, "The little tail of the little tail of the Taoist chief is really interesting." ”

I glared at them, collected my mood and continued, "At that time, he didn't look like a fairy wind and bones like now, in front of his division commander, he didn't care about what I did, but behind his division commander, he always thought that Fa'er wanted to drive me away, but as soon as he thought of recruiting me, I ran to his division commander and cried, and his division commander would teach him a hard lesson, so he didn't bother to care about me, and I followed him." ”

"Qingping Daoist doesn't look like someone who can give in so easily." Yun Sheng frowned, very puzzled.

"It's true that he didn't accept his fate so quickly, but since I told him a word, he hasn't bothered me again."

"What words? Is it so much magic? This time, it was Bai Zhi who opened his mouth first, obviously he was very interested in the most critical point.

I wanted to sell it, but time was limited, so I didn't have any reason to waste it any longer, so I replied, "I didn't say anything great, but once when he was punished by his teacher to kneel before Sanqing, he secretly said in his ear, 'Since you claim to be a genius of cultivation, why don't you teach me too', he glanced at me, and from then on we coexisted peacefully." ”

Yun Sheng was amused by my answer, he tried his best to hold back the smile on his face at first, but in the end he couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud...... He's simply... He simply felt that 'rotten wood cannot be carved', and he was desperate! ”

My face darkened, and I stood up and walked over to him, "Yun Sheng, do you want to see what the real 'rotten wood cannot carve'?" ”

Yun Sheng immediately fell silent.
