When I woke up from my state of "epiphany", I felt as if I had a dream, in which I heard the ancient sages talking in depth about the road of "immortality". But the Great Dao is hard to beat hunger, probably because I was woken up by hunger, and the moment I opened my eyes, I felt unbearable hunger, and my stomach was already hungry. The secret room was empty, I put the "Recipe of Longevity" back in the wooden box, and walked out of the secret room, only to see Elder Su meditating cross-legged outside the secret room, probably feeling my awakening and looking at me with open eyes.

I was a little embarrassed and asked, "Elder Su, forgive me, the younger generation has a lot of feelings when he watched the "Recipe for Longevity", and he has been in retreat for a while, I don't know when it is?" ”

"It's been three days," Elder Su sighed and said, "You have been in retreat for three days and three nights, there are some clear water and steamed buns here, you will eat them first, and then you will go out with me." ”

I gobbled up the dry food that Elder Su had prepared for me, and then followed him out of the cave, but at this time, the sky was already full of stars outside, and Xu Ziping and Grandma Tong were no longer there. I quietly looked at the twinkling stars in the sky, wondering what the heavenly world was like. Elder Su didn't bother me either, and after a while, I asked in a trance: "Elder Su, your sect has been inherited for hundreds of years, and in my opinion, there are many talented disciples in the valley, and it is even more rare for the top masters, but why is there no name so far?" ”

Elder Su said solemnly: "Murong Gongzi asked well, although my Immortal Valley is strong, I uphold the will of the ancestors, live forever without fighting, and live without killing." In addition to the pursuit of the way of heaven in the cultivation of martial arts, the disciples in the valley are to help the world and save the people, and the prosperity of things is declining, fame, fortune and power have no meaning to us, and it is as strong as the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty and quickly disappeared in the long river of history in only three hundred years, not to mention the Valley of Eternal Life. Therefore, the disciples of the Immortal Valley are forbidden to show their identity when they walk the rivers and lakes. ”

I replied: "The words of the predecessors made Murong quite touched, the purpose of the living people in the Immortal Valley is admirable, and it is even more commendable that the disciples of your sect can always stick to this will, the Tang Dynasty has disappeared in the long river of history, but your sect has been prosperous for a long time, Murong has understood the true meaning of your sect to teach the "Secret of Longevity", thank you." After speaking, I bowed earnestly to Elder Su and saluted.

Elder Su twisted his beard and smiled: "It's good that Murong Gongzi can understand the original intention of our faction, in fact, although the Xiaoyao faction is known as uninhibited, it has always been the pillar of the righteous path, and the purpose of pursuing the Heavenly Dao is not much different from our faction. ”

I nodded yes, although this place is a bit remote, but the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and there are many extraordinary people in the valley, but it is worth visiting often.

But at the moment, I am more concerned about another matter: "Elder Su, my senior uncle is seriously injured, I don't know where he is now?" There is no shortage of apricot forest holy hands in Guigu, I wonder if it can be cured? ”

Elder Su said: "Elder Wu's vitality has been cut off, and it is an outlier to be able to travel long distances to my Immortal Valley, and now my faction can only use thousand-year-old ginseng to take a breath, just waiting to say goodbye to you." ”

My heart is gloomy, although the elder Grandma Tong is domineering, but she has always taken good care of me, how can I not know that her medicine is difficult to save, and the people in the Immortal Valley are not immortals after all, alas.

followed Elder Su to a fine house, and when she saw Wu Xingyun, she was already confused, and Xu Ziping was taking care of her. I could see that she probably wanted to know the result of my comprehension of the "Secret of Longevity", and made up her mind in her heart, put her right hand on her Shenmen acupoint, and stimulated her life potential with the true qi of the Northern Darkness, and after a while, Grandma Tong seemed to regain her senses, opened her eyes and saw me, as if she wanted to say something.

I said loudly: "Uncle Shi, Murong has already read the original of "The Recipe for Longevity" and benefited a lot, please rest assured, there are still any wishes to be fulfilled now, and my nephew will do it for you." ”

Grandma Tong showed a relieved affection on her face, and then muttered: "I don't know where Wuyazi is hiding, you hide me near him to accompany him, and take care of the Vulture Palace for me." After saying that, she shook my hand vigorously, her eyes gradually closed, and she seemed to be still saying, "Senior brother, junior brother......". I couldn't hold back any longer, tears fell drop by drop, this is the elder who is really kind to me and has passed on the mantle. Shi Bo is full of wealth, but his life has been bumpy, but before he died, he was so kind to me, how can I not grieve.

She cremated Grandma Tong with her own hands, during which the vulture she raised herself had been standing silently on the branches of the trees on the side in a daze. After I placed the ashes, wandering alone in the valley, the Si people have gone, the living people still need to continue to move forward, since I am the Murong family, the Xiaoyao faction and the immortal valley three factions, I should not do nothing, whether it is to be the king or to save the world, I must do something beneficial to the people of the world, I think, this is my own responsibility, but also the biggest harvest of walking the rivers and lakes during this time.

In the afternoon, the Valley of Eternal Life was quiet, probably everyone in the valley had gone back to meditate or do their own things, I stood under a Bodhi tree and quietly recalled the voice and smile of Grandma Tong, and then thought of my mother's ardent expectations and advice to me, and I couldn't help crying again. At this time, the breeze blowing in the mountains and forests, and the faint sound of the piano wafting in the wind, seemed to soothe the souls of the deceased and the wounded hearts, echoing with the breeze and woods in the mountains, I seemed to be in a fairyland, although cold but very peaceful. The piano sound does not take a long time, but my soul seems to have been fully washed and moisturized after a long drought, and it has a long aftertaste after listening, which is the most beautiful music I have ever heard in my life.

The person who plays the piano must be a master of cultivating the "Recipe for Longevity", because the sound of the piano blends with the surrounding environment, resonates with life, and has reached a certain realm of unity between heaven and man, my heart moved, and I couldn't help but go in the direction where the sound of the piano came from, through a sparse pine forest, I saw a twenty-eight-year-old woman sitting in front of the piano with her back on her back, just the straight and slender back makes people feel elegant and respectful, her hands are flicking, and the beautiful rhythm that points directly to the heart of the heart flows. In the trees and on the ground around her stood or squatted many animals: squirrels, sparrows, pigeons, eagles, wild boars, tigers...... It seems that they are all immersed in the sound of the natural sound just now, and they can't extricate themselves.

After hearing my footsteps, she slowly ended the music and turned around, and my heart was shocked, is this a woman in the world? The Nanhua Sutra writes, "The mountain of contempt is inhabited by gods and men, and the skin is like ice and snow, and it is like a virgin." Don't eat grains, suck wind and drink dew. "Fairies are nothing more than that. A pair of eyes that will never be forgotten and full of aura, delicate facial features, Shengxue's skin, elegant and mysterious temperament and slightly thin figure, all of which are admired. Is it beautiful, generous, dignified, noble, mysterious? Or is it cute, amazing, intelligent, kind, sweet? For the first time, I felt that my vocabulary was so poor, and I understood why countless sages emphasized that "words do not reach the meaning", "do not set up words, but go straight to the heart" - this is the most beautiful woman I have ever met, and it is also my greatest harvest in the Valley of Eternal Life.

saw the woman stand up and salute, "Murong Gongzi is thinking about his elders?" Xiu Ling was disturbed. "Even the sound is so crisp and beautiful, it's really addictive.

I was slightly stunned for a moment, and then said lightly: "Uncle Shi drove the crane to the west, and Murong remembered his mother's teachings back then, and he was sad and rude in his heart. ”

Xiu Ling was silent for a moment, and then said: "Although the son dominates the world, he is also a man of temperament. Xiu Ling felt sad when she saw her son, so she calmed the qin and mourned, and asked her to forgive her for the simple sound of the piano. ”

I replied, "The girl is too modest," and after a pause, "If the girl's piano skills are poor, then no one in this world can play the piano." The sound of the piano just now is the most beautiful sound that Murong has ever heard in his life, dare to ask the girl what is the name of this score? ”

Xiu Ling said softly: "This is Xiu Ling's own casual playing, there is no music score." ”

I was surprised and said, "The girl created her own music score, and she is very smart, and Murong is ashamed." ”

Xiu Ling smiled slightly: "It's nothing, but the carving insect skills, it's just boring to pass the time, and what kind of intelligence is there." However, the son had an epiphany of longevity for three days and three nights, and this understanding is rare in the world. ”

I said with a straight face: "Murong has only been cultivating for many years, and he occasionally feels it when he first comes into contact with the Immortal Formula, and he has been in a daze for a long time, so he can't talk about any epiphany. However, the girl's piano sound fits with the surrounding environment, and it has the artistic conception of the unity of heaven and man with the secret of longevity, and the sound of the piano contains a lot of essence of longevity, which makes Murong quite inspired. The sages have clouds: everything is the way. Sure enough. ”

Xiu Ling was surprised and said: "It is not easy for Gongzi to hear so many Taos from the sound of my piano, not only in the secret of longevity, but also in my Taoist lineage of the purpose of the unity of heaven and man. ”

I said frankly, "Girl, do you want to continue to stand like this and praise each other with me?" ”

Xiu Ling said politely: "Xiu Ling is rude, how about Murong Gongzi, please follow me to the front pavilion to drink tea?" After saying that, she clapped her hands, and finally woke up a group of animals, but I was surprised and admired to see all kinds of birds and beasts turning around and leaving, but they had no interest in attacking each other.

So I walked a few steps side by side with her, but I saw Xiu Ling wearing a white dress, although the cloth was rough, but the skin was blown and broken, and I secretly blamed the beauty in my heart for not taking too much care of herself - rough clothes will wear out the skin, the so-called parents of the body hair and skin, dare not damage, the beginning of filial piety.

But listening to Xiu Ling's side head and smiling slightly: "The parents who suffer from the body do not dare to be damaged, and the beginning of filial piety is also." Did Murong Gongzi want to say that Xiu Ling was dressed too roughly? ”

I was amazed and said, "Does the girl know how to read minds?" The girl is as beautiful as a fairy, and she looks good in everything, but if she changes into a silk dress, it may be better for her skin. ”

Xiu Ling smiled faintly, didn't speak, and continued to move forward.

But I read from her smile that she meant: don't care too much about external things. "Nanhua Sutra" says that "its spirit condenses, so that things are not flawed and the grain is ripe", Xiu Ling is a fairy in spring, and a smile can make the world bloom.

As the two of them walked all the way, I silently observed her, and I felt that she seemed to be observing me curiously, although the two did not make eye contact, but there was a taste of chess opponents. When he arrived at a fine house in the mountains in front of him, Xiu Ling lifted a ceramic kettle, poured a scoop of water, and put it on the small stove next to him to boil the water.

The two of them sat facing each other at the table, and at such a close distance, I further felt the amazing charm of the fairy, as if the sun was shining on me. I suddenly remembered Xu Zhiwei, her beauty is somewhat similar to Xiuling, both have some kind of mysterious beauty from the sky.

"Zhiwei is a good friend of mine, she used to study in the Valley of Eternal Life for a while. The human body is an infinite treasure, and when you enter the innate realm and fully tap your potential, there will naturally be many surprises and wonderful harvests. ”

I'm a little dumbfounded, this girl-next-door fairy always seems to be able to guess what I'm thinking. I smiled slightly bitterly and said, "Murong seems to be unclothed in front of the girl, and he has an unobstructed view, is this also the effect of cultivating the secret of longevity?" ”

"Not really," Xiu Ling said in a good time, "The Immortal Recipe has been read by Murong Gongzi in the original and the experience of the past dynasties, and there are not too many specific methods to use, it is mainly a way to develop the potential of the human body and guide the human body into the unity of heaven and man." It's just that one law is universal, and ten thousand laws are passed, and Changsheng Valley has collected a lot of martial arts secrets from various sects over the years, among which there is a kind of demon door mind reading secret book that has the same effect as Buddhism's other heart pass, on the basis of learning from the characteristics of the two, through my own aura and the other party's aura contact, you can feel some of the other party's thoughts. ”

"But it's not necessarily accurate," Xiu Ling paused and said, "If the other party is on guard, restrains his aura, and deliberately covers up his thoughts, it will be difficult to guess what the other party is thinking." ”
