Chapter 2: Reeds
Broken walls are everywhere, and the star stones with special marks are still scorching. I searched from the bottom of the stairs one by one, and the corpses that were all smashed by meteorites, the master of the house, and then the dead old man...... Broken wooden cups, iron-leaf seal folding fans, clothes are no longer visible.
I quietly put away the folding fan and cup, not wanting Senior Brother and Luo Xin to see it. Counting down here to the front of the main hall, it was my younger brothers and sisters who got along day and night, and only a blur of flesh and blood remained.
I took out a green lotus from my sleeve and planted it solemnly, a stream of clear water gushed out from the ground, quickly submerged the stone steps, and the green lotus quickly drew branches and leaves, and rose and fell silently on the water. Through the broken caisson of the main hall, the sky above is a lush blue, gradually changing to bamboo blue, with a little blur. For some reason, I suddenly wanted to cry, the dead old man hadn't praised me, I was obviously the one with the fastest sword.
There is also the lonely wolf's tooth moon in the sky, and the stars hidden behind the clouds.
The water remained calm under the cold moonlight, and countless jumping points of light surfaced, flying in the air, surrounding us, with the illusion of being in the starry sky, and we were immersed in this ethereal beauty and indifferent sorrow for a long time, and remained silent for a long time, as if we could not bear to alarm these little creatures, until they disappeared from our vision.
Silvery, pale green, bright yellow, are all smart fireflies, under the cold moonlight, is a roll of reed pond star dot map, is the master often hung on the painting wall, indicating the future of the picture scroll. No one knew that this cascading green lotus and ethereal fireflies would be followed by death. Is this what is called fate? I began to believe in this around that time, and I learned to remain silent about every coincidence in my life, because it was fate.
People always have to go through to understand more, such as growing up, or dying. Sometimes you have to pay a lot to know a little more.
......
At the top of the stone steps, there is a human figure that has been hit into two sections by the star stone, and the flesh and blood are blurred, and next to it is an eight-hole jade flute, and there is a piece of jade jue nested in the hem of the brocade clothes stained with minced meat, tied with fine broken tassels, strange and beautiful style.
I was about to pick it up when I heard a faint guttural voice: "Don't move me." "The wreckage was growing bloody flesh at a visible rate, and in just a few breaths, a plump face appeared in the pool of blood, and I took a deep breath and beckoned to Senior Brother and Luo Luo, "Look. The senior brother leaned over and glanced at it: "It's so delicate, it should be a woman, but it's not the same as the sword fairy who came back." ”
Luo Xin reached out and touched it, "There is an Adam's apple." ”
"Touch me!" "I'll touch it first, I'll touch it first." ”
While I was arguing with my senior brother, this person suddenly opened his eyes, and I was so frightened that I didn't dare to take a breath.
"Everything has changed. Glancing at us, "troubled times are coming. ”
......
Beacon Cliff, the only intact place after the Shangqing Palace disaster.
"Are there any more people in your Changqing Sect?" for some reason, his eyes looked exceptionally clear in the hazy water vapor of the tea.
"Except for Uncle Mo's group of four people who went out to practice, only three of me remained. ”
"So ......" he pondered for a moment, raised his eyes to look at Senior Brother and Luo Xin, and shook his head helplessly, "I have ascended in the Evergreen Gate a hundred years ago, and I saw the blood light in the Qinglian Diagram, and I don't understand its meaning. This catastrophe makes me look like an immortal who has been driven down to earth. ”
Senior Brother and Luo Xin and I looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.
"Now that the immortal realm has been completely shattered, these star stones are the boundary stones of the South Court and the axis of the Heavenly Court. I don't know how many people will survive, but at the moment we don't have the capacity to care about that. He took a sip of tea, his knuckles whitening on the old scabbard, "Let's care about how to survive first." ”
Senior Brother coughed and asked respectfully, "I don't know what the senior meant?"
"The fairy realm is a group of pure qi supported by the source qi of the mortal world, the heavenly court is just a barrier, an order, to maintain the stability of heaven and earth, now the fairy world no longer exists, and the barrier between the ghost world and the human world is gone. In addition, you don't have to call me senior, my Dao number is Reed, just call me Dao number. ”
"Why did the immortal realm collapse?" I couldn't help but ask. Reed glanced at me casually, "I don't know. "Don't you like to look at people with straight eyes, damn it?
"But for now, let's find a way to solve the current dilemma. He dragged a scroll from the wall, splashed ink, and sketched a few times, revealing a constantly changing ink painting.
The elder brother's brows twitched exaggeratedly, and his face ached, and I secretly stepped on his foot, signaling him to be a little more normal. However, the reed technique did not notice it at all, and after a few strokes with a jade ruler, the ink painting took shape.
"You are optimistic, first of all, the ghosts of Mingyuan will climb out of the ground along the rising water level first, if you don't know where Mingyuan is, then I will talk more carefully, behind the Xuyu Mountain, is Mingyuan. He casually pointed to the side of the floating peak, "It's behind your dojo." ”
"We're going to retreat to the North Plains, where I supported a small sect before my ascension, and it contains my offerings and some things. ”
"In the middle of the six thousand miles, there are dozens of incompatible vassal states, you have to live step by step to survive there, the current Qin Dynasty, has existed in name only, but we can go to Qin, the white ape Gong has practiced in Qin for thousands of years, and received the eighteen arrows of the king of Qin with his bare hands, you know? ”
Luo Xin muttered in his throat, and said in a slurred voice: "That, I, I haven't been far away, eh, I don't really want to go to such a far place." ”
"If you have the confidence to fight the ghosts in the abyss, then we rely on you. Reed teased.
My knowledge of ghosts and things only exists in books, and there are five immortals in heaven and earth: heaven, earth, gods, people, and ghosts. There are five insects: nai, scales, hair, feathers, and kun. Among them, ghosts are the most difficult to kill.
At the beginning of Hongmeng, the ancient era at the beginning of heaven and earth was sealed in the source place, and after the gods dissolved, it was guarded by the fairy world. During this period, the ban was lifted thousands of times, all of which were killed by the Heavenly Court and resealed.
Later, I asked Reed why the ban left by the old gods had been lifted, and the first time I saw this person who had always been unfazed, a terrible crack appeared in his pupils.
But in an instant, he reined in his abnormality, and said with a pleasant face: "Everything has a beginning, a cycle, an infinite cycle, which means that all things have a beginning, an end, an end from the beginning, from the end to the beginning, and the cycle repeats itself, endlessly." The gods will still be able to dismantle them, let alone those prohibitions. ”
......
The ink of the scroll distorts into a lifelike image.
I saw everything that had faded its color and was weeping, struggling in the snow. The six-diamond-shaped ice and snow shot into the wind screen, seeped into the wind current, and splashed invisible ripples. Goose feathers and snow were mixed in the rain of arrows in the sky, and they were occasionally shattered.
Descending slowly but neatly, without a trace of concern and attachment. The peculiar cracking sound of the crystal was so slight that it was immediately shattered by the wind, dissipating into the endless void. This is the winter snow in the world, and in the snow are refugees and defeated troops, and I saw the elegant figure of Uncle Feiyang in it, and the clothes in the snow were dyed red with snow and snow.
In front of him were ghosts connected to the sky, and behind him were scattered soldiers and civilians, either sad or numb.
There is also the captured capital, which is full of tragic scenes of ghosts chewing flesh and blood. The sky painted in pale ink was oppressive and dreary, and the majestic city passes were dyed with blood, and the turbidity of the sky was surged in the snow.
I looked up at the sky outside, and the sky was an unchanging gray.
"Uncle Feiyang is not dead. The senior brother cried with joy, "Uncle Shi is so powerful, he must not have died." ”
"He was temporarily sent away by your master, he should have been extradited, but these cultivators still can't avoid intrigue, and their hearts can be punished. The corners of Reed's mouth moved slightly, "You're lucky, I heard that you ate a piece of cake given to me and was confined?"
Speaking of a crisp, the corners of my eyes couldn't help twitching, it's really a pot that can't be opened, why do you say such an embarrassing thing. Luo Xin timidly put half of a peach blossom cake with tooth marks on the table, and the air suddenly began to be quiet.
Goo~ An embarrassed voice broke the silence, "I'm hungry." The reed opened.
......
"Hahahahahahaha
At the dinner table, we still laughed as presumptuously as before, and Wei Shu was annoyed and embarrassed, and knocked the senior brother's head with chopsticks, and scolded us: "Hurry up and eat, clean up and set off after eating!" "Uncle Wei, don't be in such a hurry." "Reed (zhu, two sounds), call the name directly!"
......
"Also, haven't you smelled the fishy smell of the stagnant water of the abyss......"
