Chapter 26: The Boy on the Bridge
The grass grows and the warbler flies, and it is the time when spring is full of joy.
Ye Qianqiu and Chen Liang traveled all the way to the northeast, and a few days later, they had already arrived in the area of Nanfeng, Jiangxi.
On this day, I passed through a large river and entered a county town along the river.
The two of them have changed two fast horses along the way, and when they arrive at the county seat, they also have to change their foot strength again.
Although with Ye Qianqiu's light skills, he did it with all his might, even the fast horse was not as good as it.
Ye Qianqiu was more to take care of Chen Liang.
In the blink of an eye, it has been six or seven days since he came out of Changchun Valley.
Since yesterday, Ye Qianqiu has keenly noticed that Chen Liang's skin and flesh have changed slightly.
Chen Liang's vitality is slowly passing, and I am afraid that in another ten days, his appearance will be no different from that of a fifty-year-old.
Ye Qianqiu's sensitivity to vitality is incomparable to ordinary people, he has faced many life and death situations, and he can naturally understand the preciousness of this vitality.
After entering the county seat, the two found an inn to rest, and by the way, they asked the shopkeeper to go to the post station to change two horses.
The two ordered tea, asked for some vegetarian dishes, and ate and drank.
It's not that the two of them have quit meat eating, but when they were in the valley, they had already developed the habit of eating lightly.
Ye Qianqiu had already reached the point of refining the aura of heaven and earth for his own use, although he had not yet built a foundation and could not open the valley, he still had no need for the desire of the tongue.
Unless it's a spiritual creature with aura, maybe he's interested in using it more.
What I usually eat is just a stomach.
There is indeed a difference between the food outside the valley and the food inside the valley.
These days, along the way, Ye Qianqiu has already noticed it.
One side of the water and soil to support the other side of the people, this is really true.
The difference between Changchun Valley and the outside world is between the mountains and rivers.
The animals that live in the Changchun Valley are obviously more agile.
Ye Qianqiu always suspected that it was because Zhao Sheng's ancestor ascended from Changchun Valley back then, so Changchun Valley became an existence comparable to a blessed land.
When he was in the last world, there was a lack of spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and even if Ye Qianqiu cultivated to the level of dragon and tiger meeting, he could no longer perceive more things.
Now, he has been in this world for nearly a hundred years, and naturally understands that this world is much richer than the aura of the previous world.
The Song and Song dynasties were the era of frequent high roads.
Whether it is the "Fuyaozi" Chen Tuan at the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty, or the "sea toad" Liu Haichan in the Southern Song Dynasty.
They are all characters who have left a strong mark on the history of Daomen.
"Elder, you said earlier that you had the opportunity to go to Longhu Mountain to have a look, and now, we are also in Jiangxi, why don't you take a walk by the way?"
Chen Liang sat aside and said to Ye Qianqiu.
Ye Qianqiu shook his head and said, "I just casually mentioned that Longhu Mountain is the territory of the Heavenly Master's Dao, and the reason why I want to take a look is just to see how clever the Dao of Longhu Mountain is now." ”
"However, for now, the most important thing is to find Xiaoyaozi."
"It's not too late for me to do these things in the future."
Ye Qianqiu was actually thinking about standing the mountain gate of the Shenxiao Sect on Longhu Mountain, but after thinking about it for a while, he felt that it was not suitable.
The address of the mountain gate he wanted to choose was originally four pre-selection schemes, one of which was Longhu Mountain, the second was Zhongnan Mountain, the third was Qingcheng Mountain, and the fourth was Huashan.
However, now Longhu Mountain was directly cut down by him.
There's no particular reason for that, I just don't think it's appropriate.
When Chen Liang heard Ye Qianqiu's words, he didn't say anything more, and honestly began to eat vegetarian dishes.
After the two of them had eaten and drunk enough, the shopkeeper had already changed horses from the post station and returned.
Neither of them stayed at the inn for the night, but led their horses and headed out into the street.
Just out of the county seat, ready to cross the bridge.
When he walked to the middle of the bridge, he saw a six or seven-year-old boy standing on the bridge, looking at the river under the bridge, and chanting in his immature voice: "The river is boundless and does not return, and the yellow clouds are moving." ”
"I saw the immortals in the clouds, and I held the hibiscus towards Yujing."
"In the early stage, I was sweating all over the nine, and I am willing to take Lu Aoyou Taiqing."
The child looked like a little adult, standing on the bridge, looking at it with his hands in his hands, but what he was reciting in his mouth was Li Bai's "Lushan Ballad Sent to Lu Shi Yuxuzhou".
Chen Liang led the horse, listened to the child's recitation, and couldn't help laughing: "This little doll is very smart, at such an age, she can actually recite Li Taibai's poems." ”
At this moment, the child said again: "Hongchen is rich and has no intention of falling in love, and the true immortals of Zifu have ambitions to climb." ”
When Chen Liang heard this, he couldn't help grinning, and said to the child: "Little doll, how old are you, but I want to abandon Hongchen and seek immortals, I'm afraid that if it's not your family, you are also a person who takes pills to cultivate mysteries?" ”
When the child heard someone talking to him, he turned around, looked at Chen Liang, and said seriously: "When you are young, can't you fall in love with Zifu?" ”
"Shouldn't the heart of a seeker be cultivated from an early age?"
Chen Liang couldn't help but be very surprised when he saw that this little child could actually say such a truth, he looked at Ye Qianqiu and said, "Elder, this little doll is amazing." ”
Ye Qianqiu bowed slightly, such a big child can have such wisdom, it is really precocious.
It's just that this child's ambition is a bit unusual, most ordinary people are determined to be named on the gold list, and this child is actually determined to seek immortals and visit the Tao.
That's a bit of a surprise.
Ye Qianqiu smiled: "Child, why do you want to love Zifu?" ”
The child said, "My big dog, Ah Huang, died, and I asked my father why Ah Huang died." ”
"Father said that as long as there are living beings in the world, they will die, whether it is a human or an animal, it is the same."
"I asked my father again, is it the same when a man dies as when a dog dies?"
"Father said that people die like lights go out, but only immortals last forever."
"I don't want to die like Ah Huang, I can't see anything, I can't hear anything, I can't eat anything."
"So, I want to find the old immortals in the mountains, and I want to find the immortals."
Ye Qianqiu couldn't help but be amazed when he heard this kid's eloquent speech and the logic between his words was smooth.
Ye Qianqiu beckoned to the kid and said, "Kid, come here, I'll see if you have any immortal fate." ”
The child was not afraid of birth, and walked directly to Ye Qianqiu's side.
Ye Qianqiu touched the child's back, smiled slightly, and said, "Child, what's your name?" Where do you live? ”
The child said generously: "My name is Wang Jun, and I live in Caohua Lane, ten miles west of Wanshou Bridge. ”
Ye Qianqiu bowed slightly, and said, "Do you really want to cultivate immortals?" ”
The child's eyes widened, and he nodded, "Of course, big brother, do you know the immortals?" ”
Ye Qianqiu smiled even more when he heard the child's sudden childish words, and he took out a piece of jade from his arms and handed it to the child.
This jade figure is only the size of a palm, and it was used by him to hone his aura when he was idle in the Changchun Valley, and there are human acupuncture points engraved on it.
Among them, there are also a few sentences of Qi refining mantra that he summed up after cultivating the Taishang Method.
"Child, take this piece of jade, if you still want to cultivate immortals in the future, you can take this piece of jade and find it in the Shenxiao Sect."
Putting the jade in the child's hand, Ye Qianqiu and Chen Liang turned over their horses and galloped away.
The child held the jade in his hand, looked at Ye Qianqiu's disappearing back, held the jade villain in his hand tightly, smiled on his face, and ran towards the bridge.
