Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Ancestor of the Zhang Family, the Qingshui Immortal
The hermit of the bamboo forest, the wind blows, the bamboo leaves shake gently, the waves are bursting, and the deer is singing and the immortals. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Qing Shui and Bai Lu are a pair of Taoist couples who are in the same group, Bai Lu shows the appearance of a virgin, and Qing Shui is a virgin.
Taoist couples are not only companions who cultivate together, but also friends who rely on each other, and their relationship is closer than that of mortal couples.
Taoist couples support each other and help each other, mostly two people, but also many people practice together.
On the road of cultivation, no one dares to say that it will be smooth sailing, and there will always be all kinds of obstacles, which are difficult for one person to solve, and then it is necessary to rely on the help of Taoist friends.
For example, extremely secret things such as the catastrophe are related to the life of the family, and they often ask the Taoist companion to protect the Dharma and prevent some accidents for the person who crosses the catastrophe when he is most vulnerable.
Therefore, Taoist couples are more credible than husband and wife, and it is more rare than confidants, and they must know each other for a long time enough to trust their lives before they can become Taoist couples.
The bamboo forest is not in the academy, but at the back of the academy.
The whole 10,000 acres of bamboo forests are all grown with bamboos that are at least three zhang high.
There are springs, streams, and canals everywhere in the bamboo forest, and the sound of water flowing is endless.
Along the way, there were also some small animals probing their brains, taking a closer look, and staggering away.
After a section of stone road, there is a lake in front of you, and there are more than a dozen small islands scattered in the middle of the lake, and slender and long pontoon bridges have been built between the small islands, all of which are made of bamboo, and the same is true for the bridge piles that have been submerged under the water.
The pontoon bridge is winding and winding, allowing only two people to pass side by side, and you can feel the cool breeze blowing on the lake when stepping on the pontoon.
At this time, the sun is high, the sun is just right, and the water on the surface of the lake is shining, reflecting the sun.
A blue sky and bamboo sea are reflected in it, standing on the water corridor, surrounded by bamboo sea, the water surface reflects the blue sky, and for a time there is the illusion of people in the sky.
Between the water and the sky, there is only the corridor under your feet, the railings around you, and the island in front of you, and the bamboo sea is all around.
The white gulls spread their wings, flapped sharply, and flew low against the water, their slender beaks piercing into the water from time to time, pecking at small fish and making a whoosh chirping sound.
Follow the water promenade all the way, passing several small islands in the middle of the lake.
There are palace buildings on the island, there are Dan room, sword furnace, scripture building, lotus appreciation hall, pavilion and other buildings, all of which have a strong court style of the previous dynasty, beautiful and atmospheric.
"Luming Academy is really related to the clan of the previous dynasty, the wild history is cloudy, before the destruction of the former dynasty, the twelve princesses and the seven princes, under the protection of the Wuyi guard, took the ancestral hall god to the south in clothes. Counting the time, the academy had already taken shape at that time, and it did not have the scale it has now. ”
"These old and young people finally fled south, and they must have emptied the treasury, even if the treasury did not have much food at that time, there was always an inner treasury. With the support of this lot of money, it is enough to make any college prosperous...... And the time of the development of Luming Academy coincides, and even the location is not much different. ”
"The decline of the previous dynasty is not an overnight achievement, but an early omen, after sixty years of turmoil, the edifice is about to collapse, and it is impossible for the people in the clan not to see it, and the phase must have been prepared for a retreat...... By all indications, the inference of this song is not outrageous. ”
"If Luming Academy is a retreat prepared by the people in the clan, it will be clear!"
While thinking about it, I vaguely heard the sound of a pipa not far from the left front, which was powerful and powerful, like military music.
So he followed the sound, the road here was tortuous and winding, Zhou Xun was also happy to wander here, walked over an arched bridge, bypassed a few side houses, and finally came to the place where the sound of pipa came.
This should be a garden.
Surrounded by plum blossom trees full of ink color, the pond water is full of ink, and there are no flowers and plants next to it, this world seems to be an ink painting.
Under the plum tree, by the pond, there was a man in black clothes, about twenty times, facing him, kneeling on the stone slab, holding the pipa in his arms, playing attentively.
Opposite him, a young boy and brother, also kneeling on the stone slab, with his right hand on his chin, listened attentively, from time to time holding a folding fan, "dada", knocking on the rhythm, hearing the touching, even more tears, seemed to touch the heartstrings, thought of sad things.
Song after song, the two of them played and listened to it, as if no one was there, and they didn't take into account Zhou Xun, who was listening, maybe they found out, but they didn't want to interrupt the performance.
Zhou Xun also found a fairly smooth rock at random, wiped off the dust, lay down on his side, and listened to the sound of the pipa together.
For a long time, the song is over, and the people are not dispersed.
The young boy who listened to the song was already in tears and sighed.
"The ancestor's quyi can be used in medicine. Listening to this day's music, my illness went by three points. ”
The man who was playing stood up with the lute in his arms and smiled.
"You kid, you have a good mouth, let's say, what are you going to do this time? Let's talk about it first, I don't have any pills for you to eat here! ”
But the young man said.
"I don't know if there are two immortals living in seclusion in Luming Academy within 800 miles, Ancestor, the name of your Qingshui Danfang is still above the Bailu Fairy, why can't you even get a few gourds of elixir for the younger generations to try?"
He had the idea of the elixir in the Qingshui Immortal Furnace.
Shimizu Immortal laughed and scolded.
"What a simple offspring, you debt-collecting descendant, the pill is also mixed with food, how many gourds are there? No, no! ”
The young man said unrelentingly.
"There are no gourds, but there are always a few, right? You grew up, are you embarrassed to let the old Zhang family die? ”
The Qingshui Immortal shook his head, still refusing to.
"Your disease, in fact, is not a disease, no matter how much elixir you take, it won't get better."
The young man surnamed Zhang continued to ask.
"It's not a disease, so what is it? The old Zhang family is now left with me as a lone seedling, and if even I die of illness, it will be really doomed. Moreover, in this way, the old ancestor, your old man will naturally have no one to serve you! ”
"Alas......"
When it comes to this, it is not easy for the Qingshui Immortals to continue to hide it, and they always have to say it left and right.
"This is your life, the old Zhang family to your generation, it should be the last."
"It was I who got your father's destiny, and I specially found ten girls who matched the eight characters to take concubines for your father, and reversed the heavens, so that you were born."
"However, you were born by deception of heaven and are a person who should not exist in your life, so you couldn't leave the temple for the first ten years, let alone call yourself Zhang. It is only after the age of ten that you have a chance to turn around and appear in front of people, and even so, you are destined to die early in this life, and you will be plagued by many disasters and diseases......"
"Don't blame me, I have been dragged down by this, and I have lost sixty years of Taoism, and within ten years, I have been struck by three lightning strikes from the heavens, and many times I have not been smooth, and the magic weapon that I have worked so hard to cast has been scrapped, and the Fire God Pill that has been waiting for a hundred years has not been successful...... Now that it is time to come once in 1,300 years, the Earth Immortal Tribulation will be a little heavier. ”
The young man Zhang Xiang was silent.
The Qing Shui Immortal walked to the side of a large stone and asked Zhou Xun.
"Doesn't Zhou Daoyou go to the academy to give lectures? Why did you come to me again today? The list you want, Bai Lu should ask Xu Bailu for it. ”
Xu Bailu is the fairy of Bailu, the one who likes to be a girl.
Her original family name was Xu, and she was a child, and she and Zhang Qingshui were Taoist couples who practiced together.
Of course, Bai Lu and Qing Shui are not their original names, they are just aliases taken after cultivating, and over time, their real names are no longer known.
Jumping down, Zhou Xun stood still and slapped off a few cloves of ink plum on his body.
Surprised, it turned out that the plum blossom was really stuck to the clothes, as if the patterns that had existed on the clothes.
Zhou Xun failed to shoot it after a few shots, and there was something strange about this plum blossom forest.
Shimizu Sento explained proudly.
"My plum blossom forest is cultivated as a kind of heterogeneous plum blossom, transplanted from the ancient flower fairy cave mansion, called ink and wash Qinghua."
"This plum blossom has no other benefits, that is, just like a real ink painting, you can take away the whole plum forest with a piece of paper, it is both a painting and a flower, both dead and alive. Daoist friends lie here, stained with a few plum blossoms, which is equivalent to painting plum blossom patterns on clothes. ”
"It's interesting, I don't want to have this strange flower, and sure enough, the world is all-encompassing."
Zhou Xun looked at the young man surnamed Zhang.
"This is Zhang Gongzi, right?"
The boy looked at Zhou Xun curiously, the two looked about the same age, and they were both teenagers.
But whether the appearance is young or not can't say anything to the cultivators, you don't see, the ancestor of the Zhang family, who has lived for more than a thousand years, is not just a young man in his twenties.
"I have a business and plan to discuss it with the Zhang family, I don't know which of the two can call the shots?"
Zhou Xun looked at the Qing Shui Immortal again.
"But I don't know that you are the ancestor of the Zhang family thousands of years ago, doesn't it mean that the Zhang family is a family that has existed for thousands of years?"
In fact, Zhou Xun has already determined that the Zhang family is a member of the clan of the previous dynasty.
At the end of the national fortunes of each dynasty, the fate of the royal family may not be good, and the clan is not.
The royal family cannot be equated with the clan.
For example, in the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, the number of clans was tens of thousands, and the descendants of the clan who lost their titles like Liu Daer lived the life of commoners.
And the royal family must have preferential treatment, and they are born nobles.
It is because the last royal family is buried more often, but the clan is often still alive.
"I was the ancestor of a thousand years ago...... What does the current Zhang family have to do with me? I owe everything to the Zhang family to pay off, and I don't care about it for a long time. ”
"Don't bother me with the mundane things of the world anymore, I have been out of the world for many years."
"Zhang Xiaozi is the current person in charge of the Zhang family, and you still have to talk to him about your affairs."
Zhang Qingshui calmly walked over with the pipa in his arms, leaving the space for the two of them.
After a thousand years, the fate with the Zhang family is finally over, there is a lot less involvement, it is far away from the world, and it is closer to ascension.
The fireworks that belong to the human world on his body are getting weaker and weaker, and the Qingshui Immortal seems to be flying up at any time.
In fact, this is not an illusion, he himself is extremely high, approaching the realm of ascending immortals, just because of some fate in his early years, he vowed to protect the Zhang family for a thousand years, so he was unable to take the last step and stayed in the world.
The Thousand Tribulations are set up to urge the earth immortals who cannot ascend for various reasons, either to ascend before the calamity is approaching, or to reincarnate in the tribulation, or to work hard to block the heavenly tribulation......
Many immortals are sufficient, but because of some inexplicable reasons, they can't ascend to the heavenly realm.
Therefore, the immortal family will live in isolation, and the principle of the world is to be less involved and more free.
When the son surnamed Zhang saw the figure of the Qingshui Immortal in the distance, he couldn't help but be silent, and he felt a little in his heart, only feeling that this was the last time he would see this old ancestor.
Zhou Xun watched as the Qing Shui Immortal left step by step with the pipa in his arms, and his mouth was relieved
"Qingshui Daoyou's Taoism seems to have improved again, seeing that this progress is about to break through the pure yang, Xia Ju has soared! If you're lucky, you'll be able to get ahead of the catastrophe. ”
"Heavenly Immortal Ascension, except for itself, cannot bring anything outside the Nether, unless it is a treasure of the Immortal Mansion. That is to say, after the ascension of Qing Shui Daoyou, his treasures will be left behind, and those who are destined will be hidden one by one, and most of the rest will be inherited by you. ”
The boy shook his head, he didn't care about anything outside of him.
"I haven't asked for leave, brother's name?"
"My surname is Zhang, and my single name is a travel word, and I forget my worries."
Forget his worries, but unfortunately he was born sick, vomited blood all the year round, and was destined to live a short life, so I had to hope that he could forget his worries.
"Forget my brother, I won't hide it from you, I'm looking down on Wuyiwei."
Zhou Xun found a comfortable position to sit down, and with a little ease, a piece of green vine grew on the ground, which was wound and coiled into a rattan chair to make it convenient for him to lie down.
The unique Five Spirits Immortal Technique in this world is ingenious, not seeking the five elements, but taking the road of five spirit changes.
Zhou Xun's hand is the wonderful use of the earth spirit and water spirit in the Five Spirits Immortal Technique, and what is sprinkled is just a common seed, which is caused by the immortal technique and adjusted in shape.
"The ...... of the Dark Guard"
The boy still knelt on the cold stone slab, and the cool breeze blew, driving a strand of hair on his temples.
When he first heard this word, Zhang Wangwu was a little dazed and didn't seem to understand.
"Brother Forget Worry, isn't the Zhang family a former dynasty clan? As far as I know, the Wuyi Guard has not been disbanded. ”
Zhang Wangwu suddenly realized.
Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, coughed lightly, and when he put it down, the white silk was bloodshot.
Zhou Xun frowned slightly, raised his hand lightly, and passed a trace of immortal qi, combing his qi veins for him to make up for his vitality.
This exploration is indeed the same as what the Qing Shui Immortal said, but it is a congenital deficiency, and his life is like this, it is not a disease.
Even if he refines himself into a divine pill and cures him, it will not help, and there will always be other calamities coming to him.
This kind of thing is as tricky as the Da Luo Immortals come, and Zhou Xun only helps a little to relieve the pain and make him feel better.
"Thank you, ahem, my disease is incurable, so I don't have to do more useless things."
His face is pale, his appearance is delicate, and he prefers the image of people like "sick man" or "Jiang Zuo Meilang" in people's hearts.
"The black guards you are talking about have long since dispersed. Seventy years ago, the clan crossed to the south, and the last group of Wuyi guards were transferred to the ancestral hall, with less than 500 people, and after many bloody battles along the way, less than 200 were alive in the end. Wuyiwei, when he arrived in this land south of the Yangtze River, was gone. ”
"What!"
