Chapter 267: Reminiscing about the past
The sect master sat on the boulder, looking a little tired.
By now, he also understood what he had seen before, and it was just Luoyu forging his body with flames. Although he had never seen a precedent for forging his body to burn himself to the ground, now that Luoyu was unhindered and had successfully completed his cultivation task, he could finally calm down and sort out his thoughts.
Luo Yu naturally saw that the sect master was not tired, but tired. He didn't expect that the invisible heavenly fire would suddenly appear at this time, so naturally he couldn't tell him in advance, so he couldn't help it, and Luo Yu arched his hand and said, "Sect Master." Disciple ......"
"It doesn't matter. The sect master waved his hand, signaling that Luo Yu could leave on his own.
Luoyu was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say, so he immediately resigned as if he had been granted amnesty.
After going around the labyrinthine cave a few more times, Luoyu successfully retrieved the entrance of the cave, but saw a figure standing with his hands in his hands, as if looking at the scenery of the distant mountains.
At this time, the sky was cloudy and rainless, and heavy clouds were lying across the sky, hiding all the hills, and there was no scenery to see at all. And the clouds seem to have existed for a long time, and the mountain breath has a bit of boredom of dense clouds and no rain, so this person is not looking at the scenery, but waiting for someone.
Luoyu took a few steps forward and asked, "Why didn't you leave? You can't be waiting for me, are you?"
Xia Yanyin turned around and smiled: "It's only half a day, anyway, I'm not in a hurry to go back." β
"Anything else?" Luo Yu asked cautiously.
"It's okay, I just don't want to go back. Xia Yanyin shook the jade slip in his hand, "Qi Yunyi is in retreat this time, my master will also accompany him, I have to wait for them to stop and make sure that no one will come to trouble me before I can go back." β
Luoyu immediately realized that he was being amorous, it turned out that Xia Yanyin was just waiting for the eyeliner to inform him when he would go back, so he asked helplessly: "Then just take a walk?"
"Good. β
The two walked down the mountain, slowly following the stream in the mountain stream.
There are so many wonders hidden in the Tibetan Mountains that you can find beauty from any angle. Luo Yu looked at the nameless place in front of him, it was just a small stream formed by melting snow from a glacier, and it was also one of the countless small tributaries of the upper reaches of the Great River in the Qingning Sect. The stream does not have the turbulence of a great river, but meanders quietly.
Originally, there was no special purpose, Luoyu's steps were not slow, and he came to the foot of the mountain leisurely. But when the whole view of the stream came into view, somehow he felt a longing.
After taking a few quick steps towards the riverbank, Luo Yu suddenly stopped, took off his shoes again, and pulled up his trouser legs.
Xia Yanyin's eyes were weird, "What are you doing with your shoes?"
You must know that when the monk crosses the river, he flies directly over it, even if he wants to tread water, it is effortless. What's more, as far as the stream in front of him is concerned, ordinary martial artists can cross it in one step with all their strength.
Luoyu turned his head, his tone faintly excited, "Go tread water! I haven't played for a long time!"
After just a few steps, Luoyu stopped again.
His toes moved slightly, grinding against the stones and sand under his feet, and the familiar feeling reminded me of the old scene.
He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had been carefree, and now everything in his life was urgent, important, and the slightest slackness would have serious consequences.
Luoyu reminisced about the old things in his memory, and felt particularly reluctant and nostalgic. Like a hungry child suddenly tasting a delicacy, Luoyu lingered on the touch of sand sliding between his toes, and impatiently walked towards the stream.
"Heyβ" stepped into the cool stream, and at the same time stepped into the mud. But the mud was not enough to affect Luoyu's mood at the moment, so he didn't care about the water and continued to wade.
Looking back at Xia Yanyin, who was still hesitating on the shore, Luo Yu shouted loudly: "Why don't you come yet!
Xia Yanyin didn't care, but really watched Luoyu kick the splash and walk away, so he had to roll up his trouser legs very reluctantly and chase after him.
Luoyu buried his head in the water and kicked the splash seriously, "Don't tell me you've never waded through the water!"
Without waiting for Xia Yanyin to answer, Luo Yu said again: "It's that I'm thinking too much, you are so boring, you have been locked in a small black room to practice since you were a child, so naturally you haven't played it." β
Xia Yanyin didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his childhood, but he couldn't understand Luoyu's inexplicable preferences, and wanted to argue a few sentences, but when he heard Luoyu talk about the past, he also gave up the idea of arguing and listened quietly.
"When I was a child, I loved a small river near my house, and I would go with my brother to play in spring, summer, autumn and winter. In spring and summer, you can tread water and swim, in autumn you can catch small fish and shrimp, and in winter you can also skate. Anyway, I've fallen into an ice hole! It's cold......
Hearing this, Xia Yanyin had to admit that his life was indeed a bit boring. The touch in his heart made him silent, unconsciously thinking of his childhood, thinking about whether it would be possible to live a different life if he had to do it all over again.
But he can't imagine another life, as long as he is still from this life, he can't live the life of an ordinary family.
Thinking about it, a long-lost chill appeared in Xia Yanyin's heart. He couldn't remember his childhood in the palace anymore, and the only thing that impressed him was the cold feeling.
He had no parents in his memory, only the servants who raised him and the husband who taught him cultivation. He also had doubts, but everyone around him kept instilling in him that his mother had passed away a long time ago, that he was a prince and had to grow up in the palace and that he could not meet anyone from his mother's family at will; that his father was the king of a country, and that he was busy with official business, and that he would not summon him if there was no major matter; and that he seemed to have many theoretical brothers and sisters, but he had basically never seen them, or had forgotten them......
It wasn't until he grew up that his cultivation talent and achievements became more and more prominent, far surpassing all the royal heirs and even predecessors of the Zhongyuan Dynasty. He seems to have been taken seriously overnight, from a child who barely came out of his courtyard door and was boring reading and practicing every day, to becoming the center of attention.
He was finally summoned by his so-called "father", and in a temple that was ridiculously large for a child, he was dazzled by the splendid rooms and the extravagant ornaments, and saw a majestic man in imperial robes.
Xia Yanyin couldn't remember what the man looked like, and he couldn't even find his shadow from his body at all, so naturally he didn't have the slightest feeling for this weightless "father".
He only remembered that the man was past middle age, and the power he had accumulated over the years was very impressive. But for Xia Yanyin, who already had a certain amount of cultivation, the coercive influence on the mortal emperor was not very serious, but he unexpectedly saw a bit of the decline of the prosperous age on that person.
