Chapter 64: Qianxue's Past
"What happened later?" Qianxue propped her chin, feeling that things were not so simple.
Mu Qianqing sighed and said, "At that time, my cultivation was still shallow, and I didn't even find that it was just an illusion. ”
"What?Illusion?" Qianxue showed a look of surprise: "A whole town, it's all an illusion?"
Mu Qianqing nodded: "Yes! "The scary thing is that all the people there, as if they were real, can interact with the outside world, and outsiders can interact with them, but the whole town, but all of them are illusions.
"How did you know that then?Is that town still there?" Qianxue wondered, if that town was an illusion, what was the thing that supported the whole illusion as if it were a real existence?
Mu Qianqing turned his face to look at her, there was no longer the shock in his eyes, and he said with a flat look: "Later, I left that town, and a few years later, my cultivation broke through the middle stage, and I remembered that town again, because I just happened to go back to Mu Qingfeng, so I deliberately took a detour to go back and take a look." ”
However, what he didn't expect was that he found the mountain, and the female corpse he buried with his own hands was still there, but the bottom of the parchment that he had obtained was gone, just like the female corpse disappeared at the beginning, and disappeared without a trace.
What he didn't expect was that the town was gone, and all that appeared in front of him was the rolling hills, and there was no trace of the town.
He went to a town dozens of miles away to inquire, but got this answer: You said Pingjiang Town? This is the strangest thing we have done here in a hundred years, and overnight, the entire Pingjiang Town disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared.
"It's really strange!" Qianxue frowned slightly.
Mu Qianqing also nodded: "Yes! For so many years, I have been going to see it almost once a year, but I have found nothing." "It's like everything that happened in Pingjiang Town, it's really just a dream, and the dream wakes up without a trace.
He took out the parchment and held it in his hand, but the real touch told him that all this was not a dream.
Qianxue also glanced at the parchment and said, "So, do you think that place called Jiangping Town is just an illusion?"
Mu Qianqing nodded, put away the parchment, and said, "Yes! I really can't find any other explanation other than this explanation."
Qian Xue raised her eyebrows and said, "Perhaps, the place called Jiangping Town is real, but because of some kind of force, its location has changed, just like a lake suddenly appeared somewhere, and that lake suddenly appeared, maybe it was the disappearance of a lake somewhere that caused it to appear there, what do you think?"
After hearing this, Mu Qianqing felt that it made sense, nodded and said, "Maybe!"
Qianxue stretched and asked, "What happened later?" It was still early, and the Hydra hadn't come yet, so she was afraid that she would be sleepy.
"Later, I stayed on the mountain for three days, and there was no change in the slightest for three days, I went back to Mu Qingfeng, and then retreated and cultivated for two years, until I broke through the middle of cultivation and then went down the mountain again. ”
In those two years, Mu Qiankong and Mu Qianli were accepted as disciples by the third and fourth uncles, but they were still young, and the slightly older Mu Qianju couldn't go down the mountain because of congenital defects, so he was still the only one who went out to travel.
"Didn't anything interesting happen in those years after?" Obviously, Chiyuki still wanted to hear the story.
Mu Qianqing glanced at her, and then said with a smile: "Yes! A few years later, I met a lotus flower who was greedy for money, small and very edible. ”
Hearing him say this, Qianxue's eyes immediately changed, even if she was stupid, she knew that what he said was undoubtedly herself.
"Your life is boring. "After so many years of traveling, this is the only one that he will never forget.
Mu Qianqing just smiled at her and didn't refute it, and naturally a lot of things happened later, but they were all similar things, nothing more than demons and monsters, and after a long time, they would naturally forget about it.
"What about you?" Mu Qianqing asked Qianxue rhetorically: "After living for so many years, have you always stayed in the Lotus Lake outside Hangzhou?" With her character, it is really a little different.
Qianxue glanced at him and said, "Naturally, I am there most of the time, and I will go out once or twice once in a while, a few months at most, and a few days at a time!"
In fact, hiding at the bottom of the lotus pond every day to cultivate, time flies quickly, at first when she became an adult, she thought it was quite fun, and later as her cultivation became higher, her days of retreat and cultivation became longer and longer, and sometimes she may not have been out for hundreds of years.
"The first time I went out, I must have remembered it vividly, right?" Just like himself, the first time he traveled down the mountain, and he encountered such strange things, so he still remembers it vividly.
Qianxue nodded with a smile and said, "Yes!"
For the first time, she took on a human form, she played around the lotus pond for a few days, and was a little curious about what the place where people lived was like, and after climbing over a few mountains, she saw the bustling city of Hangzhou.
Before entering the city, she saw a mother and daughter, the little girl was only six or seven years old, with two pigtails and watery eyes, very cute.
Qianxue looked at her, she also saw Qianxue, and couldn't help but say to her mother: "Mother, mother, there is a fairy sister in the back." ”
The young woman turned her head and was stunned on the spot, but after reacting to it, she nodded at her with some embarrassment.
Only then did Qianxue realize that it seemed that the people around her were looking at her, and immediately reacted that her appearance was too different from ordinary people.
She left the crowd and appeared in Hangzhou in the form of a six- or seven-year-old child, looking at things and people she had never seen before.
Qianxue smiled and said: "You don't know, the most attractive thing for me is eating, but they all give money after buying things, I didn't know what money was at that time, I didn't have anything, so I could only stand next to the pastry shop and look at those pastries." ”
However, to her surprise, the short and fat old man who had been sitting next to her actually looked at her with a smile and asked, "Little girl, do you want to buy pastries?"
Qianxue nodded and shook her head again, she just wanted to eat, but she didn't have the money to buy it.
The old man looked at her well-behaved and pitiful, shook his head, filled her with a piece of oiled paper and gave her a piece of pastry of all tastes, and then handed it to her, and said with a smile: "Take it and eat it!"
She took the pastry with joy and smiled like a crescent moon with her eyes.
After running away, she heard the guy ask the boss, "Boss, why did you give that little girl pastries?"
The boss replied: "I also had a daughter in my early years, and she was as well-behaved and lovely as that little girl, if it weren't for a serious illness, she would be eighteen years old now." ”
Qianxue turned around and saw that there were faint tears flashing in the eyes of the short and fat boss.
It was the first time she had used her spiritual power on a mortal, and she had entered the dream of the pastry shop owner, who had transformed into a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, telling him that she was his daughter, that she was fine, and that she would soon be reincarnated, so that he would not have to worry about it anymore.
Mu Qianqing smiled: "Perhaps, you will cultivate the Immortal Dao and have something to do with the owner of this pastry shop." ”
Qianxue nodded: "Well, the first time I went to the world, I met all the people who were kind and pure-hearted, so what was originally buried in my heart was also kind-hearted." "A seed of kindness planted in the bottom of my heart, no matter what I encounter in the future, that seed will not change, it determines the future of Qianxue, and also determines the outcome of everyone who meets Qianxue.
"Is that pastry shop still there?" Mu Qianqing suddenly asked with some curiosity.
Qianxue smiled slightly and said, "Yes!"
The pastry shop owner has changed one term after another, all of them are the descendants of the short and fat man, and they have not changed for nearly two thousand years, maybe the surname has changed a long time ago, and the bloodline of the short and fat man on their body has long been diluted after thousands of years, but they are indeed the descendants of the short and fat man, maybe the descendants of the son, maybe the descendants of the daughter.
No one would have known that the short and fat man's momentary soft-heartedness and a good deed would make his pastry shop open endlessly for thousands of years, longer than any dynasty.
"I will keep his shop going until I leave this mortal world. ”
A pastry, nearly two thousand years of bloodline, such a reward, is already very heavy.
"You're too affectionate. Mu Qianqing looked at her, she was a demon, but her cultivation was immortal Dao, and she would have to go through calamities when she ascended in the future, if she was too heavy on one thing, I was afraid that it would be a burden.
Qianxue smiled and shook her head: "You are wrong, I'm afraid I am the most affectionate one among the people you have met." ”
Mu Qianqing may be heartbroken and sleepless because of her, Mu Qiandu and Mu Qiankong, including Mu Qianli and Mu Qianqing, they may all sacrifice their lives for Mu Qingfeng, just like Mu Xueyuan can give up her life like a flower for her master, moths to the fire, never look back.
But she won't, at least so far, she won't destroy her state of mind for anyone and become a stumbling block on her cultivation path.
Mu Qianqing looked at her, her eyes were full of smiles, but they were just smiles, smiles without any emotion.
"Mu Qianqing, I won't give up one of you for anything, just like helping Qianju find the raw materials for Nuwa Stone, but I won't stop any decision you make, just like Mu Xueyuan wants to save her master. Do you understand?"
Mu Qianqing still looked at her, as if she had never known Qianxue.
Qianxue also looked at him, she has always been a child's heart in his eyes and heart, she needs to be coaxed, and she needs to be taken care of, but today, she showed her truest side, which may hurt Mu Qianqing, but she felt that it was necessary for him to face himself squarely, and not let him be blinded by the self-righteous Qianxue in his heart.
