Chapter 10: Parting and Descending the Mountain

In the morning, the sound of the disciples practicing their swords woke up the two people who were in a daze and kneeling in the main hall. Luo Xiaotian got up and rubbed his knees that had been kneeling all night, and moved his body. Seeing that the senior brother was still kneeling, he pushed him with his hand, but the senior brother didn't react at all. Yao Qingshu is such a rule-abiding person, if the master didn't speak, he wouldn't get up.

"Good morning, two senior brothers!"

At this time, a handsome girl came in at the door of the main hall and smiled at the two of them. Her smile adorns the morning sun, which can't help but make people feel refreshed.

"Little junior sister, help me persuade senior brother, I have been kneeling all night. If he doesn't get up again, he will take root in this great hall. Luo Xiaotian didn't forget to ridicule the stubborn Yao Qingshu, making the little junior sister giggle.

"Senior Brother Xiaotian, otherwise I will call my father, if he doesn't come, Senior Brother won't get up."

The little junior sister is the daughter of Tianzun Dao Chang, named Zhang Ruyue, cute and clever. The three of them are the only ones on the mountain who have grown up together, so they are very close to each other and have a common heart.

"No need! Qingshu, get up. ”

Tianzun Dao Chang appeared at the door of the main hall, he came to the Taoist temple hall as soon as he got up, and he knew that Yao Qingshu must be waiting for him.

"Thank you, Master!" Yao Qingshu suddenly got up and turned to the master.

When Luo Xiaotian saw that the master was coming, he also called the master, and Zhang Ruyue called the father. The three of them respectfully waited for the Heavenly Venerable Dao Chief to speak.

Tianzun Dao Chang walked up to the three of them and glanced at them.

"I thought about it for a long time last night, and I felt that I couldn't control you like this anymore. My disciple of the Heavenly Apocalypse Palace was originally to support justice, eliminate evil and punish adultery. Now that you've grown up, it's time for you to go through the experience. ”

"From this day onwards, you will be able to go down the mountain and wander around, devote yourself to preaching, and make good connections. But remember, work together and help each other. Don't be reckless in case of trouble, make decisions with ability, and get out safely is the way to do it. ”

"Now there are water beads in the dawn sky, and there are herbs in the green book, and if you are like the moon, you will bring the seven tones. There are a total of six magic weapons in the Apocalypse Palace, one for each of the three of you. This was brought down by the goddess of the holy mountain back then, and there were only a dozen in Kyushu. Therefore, you must use it carefully, so as not to be remembered by bad people and get into trouble. ”

When he said these words, Tianzun Dao Chang's brows tightened. Although he was reluctant to give up in his heart, one day, they would have to face the outside world after all. His wish is: to uphold the Taoist sect of punishing adultery and eliminating evil and peace in the world, so that there will be a long-term peace in this world.

The three of them were a little stunned and looked at each other. Master's sudden decision overwhelmed several people. In the past, Master used to be strict with discipline, and he felt constrained, so he always tried to go down the mountain and do what he thought he should do. Now, my heart is empty, as if I have lost a kind of care and concern, which is human nature.

"Master......" After Luo Xiaotian heard the words of the Heavenly Venerable Dao Master, he didn't feel good in his heart, and he didn't know what to say for a while. The apprentice has caused so much trouble to the master, and he has not yet honored the master, how dare he leave at this time. ”

"The three of you don't need to say more, you have made up your mind for the sake of the teacher. The world is so big, it is by no means only this Apocalypse Peak, Lingyang City, you go out for a walk. Before entering the Tao as a teacher, there was a mansion in the capital. The three of you can use it as a place to stay, and it is impossible for you to go back as a teacher, so you can take care of it. Ruyue, you listen to the words of the two senior brothers outside. For so many years, Dad didn't do what a father should do, you could have lived as an ordinary girl, but you have been trapped in this deep mountain for 20 years since you were a child. ”

"Dad, my daughter is willing...... Don't say such things Daddy, Daddy is the best father in the world. Daughter doesn't go! Zhang Ruyue was already teary-eyed, and she was very sad.

"Qingshu, you are the most stable and cautious of the three, you have to take care of them more. When you decide in advance, don't act arbitrarily. ”

"Yes, Master! The apprentice ...... "Yao Qingshu has obeyed the master's arrangement since he was a child, and he obeys the master's orders. This time, he was a little resistant in his heart, but he was not good at words, and he swallowed the words again.

"The two of you go out first, Xiaotian stays, and I have something to say to you alone for the teacher."

Although Yao Qingshu and Zhang Ruyue were in a complicated mood at the moment, and there were still many things they wanted to say in their hearts, they had to agree "yes" and turned around and exited the hall.

"Xiaotian, about your life experience, the teacher has never told you. One is afraid that you won't be able to accept it, and the other is afraid that you will cause death. Back then, your mother was forced to separate from you, maybe she is still alive, you go to find her clues. ”

"Actually, she is the goddess of the holy mountain back then, I am an old friend of your mother, she is smart and kind-hearted, you are very similar to her. Now no one at the foot of the mountain knows that you are the son of a goddess, and you must keep your identity a secret, and you must not let anyone know about it. ”

"Also, only your mother knows about the memories in your head, and when you find her, you will understand. In fact, Tianqi Peak has a lot of eyes staring at, all in order to find you among the disciples, and it is also the reason why for so many years, the teacher has not let you go down the mountain easily. ”

"And your father, as a teacher, doesn't want to and can't tell you, everything depends on your own creation. He has always known that you are here with me, and he entrusted it to me, and he was born and died with him back then. I haven't told you these things for so many years, I hope you don't blame me. ”

The Heavenly Venerable Daoist has been hiding the secret for twenty years, and he has been suppressing himself and has contradictions in his heart.

"Master, keep in mind that the apprentice will not blame the master. Thank you Master for your kindness and teachings to me over the years, and thank Master for telling me these truths. ”

When Luo Xiaotian heard all this, he suddenly knew his life experience, and at this time, even if he was rational, it was unbearable, it turned out that his mother was the goddess of the Holy Mountain. Luo Xiaotian felt that he had fallen into a turbidity, unable to distinguish between heaven and earth, void and reality. He closed his eyes, and a tear fell from the corner of his eye and fell to the ground, in the depths of his incomparably empty heart at this moment.

Luo Xiaotian walked out of the hall in a daze, Yao Qingshu and Zhang Ruyue, who were waiting at the door, saw that his face was strange, and the two of them looked worried, and they stopped talking.

At the railing on the edge of the cliff in front of the main hall, Qianji stood facing the cliff with his back to several people, his hands crossed in front of his chest. Luo Xiaotian saw that Uncle Qianji was also here. His appearance made Luo Xiaotian even more convinced that Master's words could not be doubted, and he was even more curious about the confusing relationship between the two of them and their mother. Luo Xiaotian slowly walked to Qianji's side, looking at the mist in the valley in the distance side by side.

"Did the old guy tell you? As for the goddess, I only blame me for not protecting her back then. ”

"Uncle Qianji, you were also here to save me at that time, don't say these self-blaming words. Maybe she's still alive, but it's just inconvenient to see me, or maybe she doesn't know I'm still alive. ”

"She never let me call her Miss before. She said, "Although you are my bodyguard, we are friends, and you call me Luo Jinyi." This is the first time you've known your mother's name, right? ”

has never talked much, and Qianji, who seems to be cold-blooded, seems to have a little more tenderness in front of Luo Xiaotian today. Perhaps, it was some of the beauty in his memories that warmed the frost in his heart, but Luo Xiaotian didn't know the source of those good things in his heart.

"Thank you, Uncle Chiki." Uncle Qianji's mission in this life seems to be just to protect Luo Xiaotian's mother and son. He gave the warmth of humanity to their mother and son, but he was only left with this cold body.

"Xiaotian, someone is coming down the mountain, saying that he wants to see you." Yao Qingshu came behind the two at this time and said. Luo Xiaotian was a little puzzled, how could someone suddenly come up the mountain to find him?

"Senior brother, take me to see him." Luo Xiaotian packed up his mood and prepared to take a look.

Several people came to the gate of the Apocalypse Peak Dojo. Seeing the capable dress of the comer, he knew that this person was the internal guard of the Bei'an Palace, and when he saw Luo Xiaotian coming, he immediately bowed and saluted.

"Luo Shaoxia, my prince sent his subordinates to invite Shaoxia down the mountain, saying that he had something to discuss with you."

"I'll go to the master to report this matter......

"No need! Pack up and go down the mountain. As a teacher, I have chosen today's auspicious time to retreat and practice, and the time is coming soon. During the retreat, the three of you don't want to disturb my retreat. ”

Without waiting for a few people to speak, the Tianzun Dao Elder turned around and walked away and entered the Taoist temple alone.

It was already noon, and the three of them packed their luggage and said goodbye to the disciples of the Apocalypse Palace. I wanted to bow goodbye to Master, but I couldn't find any trace of him, maybe Master had already gone to retreat and cultivate.

With the reluctance of parting and an uncertain future. The three of them left the Apocalypse Palace and walked on the way down the mountain from Apocalypse Peak.

In the sky above Apocalypse Peak, the blue harrier circled, and an eagle roared.

……

In Lingyang City, although the Sea Festival has passed, it is still a lively scene. Maybe this is also the last sea festival in Lingyang City, and people still remember Luo Xiaotian's thrilling scene of eliminating the kraken, and it is passed on by word of mouth. Luo Xiaotian, who had just entered the city, was respected by the people in the city along the way, and they continued to worship. There are even storytellers who have compiled stories and nursery rhymes, which are spread in the streets and alleys of teahouses.

Just as Luo Xiaotian was busy returning the salute to the people, Shen Kun of the gambling house and a group of men blocked their way.

I saw Shen Kun step forward alone, bowing respectfully to Luo Xiaotian.

"Brother Luo, stay here, please accept the next bow!" He immediately knelt on the ground, and bowed to the bottom of the ground.

Luo Xiaotian was puzzled by Shen Kun's behavior, and a few days ago he was arrogant on the streets, shouting to himself that he wanted to fight and kill. Even if it was because he killed the Kraken, he would not be so humble and polite today.

"To tell you the truth, thank you to the Luo brothers for avenging the loss of their father. A few years ago, when the old father of the family went out to sea, he was hit by the demon in the sea and broke the fishing boat and took his life. Thanks to Brother Luo, otherwise, I don't know how to take revenge, in order to appease my unfulfilled filial piety to my father, and comfort my father's soul in heaven. From now on, as long as Brother Luo has any needs, just say it. In the next must be smeared with liver and brain, do your best. Although everyone is afraid of me in this market, I have never bullied the old and weak women and children, so I asked Brother Luo to make me a friend. ”

After paying back the ceremony a little, Luo Xiaotian saw that Shen Kun was very sincere, and it was not good to be angry about what happened before and ridicule him. It is said that he does not stretch out his hand to hit the smiling person, not to mention Shen Kun, who now respects himself so much. replied casually: "It is the duty to eliminate demons, and it is a bit serious. ”

"This monster has been harming for 20 years, if it weren't for Brother Luo's chivalrous actions and extermination of the demon, I don't know who would be able to subdue it, Brother Luo is naturally the benefactor of the people of Lingyang City. If Brother Luo ignores his past suspicions, can he please go to the Mansion for a reunion? ”

"There happened to be something wrong today, and there was a lot of inconvenience. I'm so sorry! ”

Luo Xiaotian shirked Shen Kunxiang's request to be invited into the mansion as a guest, and said goodbye to him. The group continued to walk towards the palace.
