Chapter 13: Love Leaves the Land (1)
Immortal Lotus frowned and put down the teacup in her hand. "You mean...... This Xixing Mo is from Ximin's family?"
It turned out that more than ten days ago, it was the day of family visits for the worldly mortal disciples in the Yuan Qing Temple. It was during that time that Gu Shuling returned home and discussed with her father a plan to get rid of Ximin's family.
This Lotus Immortal Gu, who looks no more than thirty years old, is the ancestor of the Gu family, and it is also the ancient ancestor Inspiration Lotus Mother enshrined in the secret room of Gu Shangshu's study.
It is said that she is the ancestor of the Gu family because she became an immortal about 3560 years ago, and before that, she married a family surnamed Gu, and had children after marriage, which have been passed down to this day.
But during her enlightenment, she had already abandoned her family and children, lingering among the red dust rivers......
There are rumors in the market that Lian Xiangu only left home because of the red apricot out of the wall, but she did not leave home to travel to the immortal road, and during this period, she also turned against her senior sister He Xiangu, so that she missed the opportunity to be ranked among the eight immortals for some reason.
By Gu Shuling's generation, the heirs of Lianxian Gu are about the fourteenth generation.
Gu Shuling nodded thoughtfully, "I always feel that something is not right. Cutting the grass does not remove the roots...... There are endless troubles. ”
Lian Xian Gu seemed to be a little unconvinced, "Can it be so coincidental? That Ximin's family is all in Nanzezhong, 108,000 miles away from here, and besides, you also told your uncle that he must not let anyone go." It's just that this Xi Xing Mo is also surnamed Xi, and I look at it as just an ordinary girl. ”
Gu Shuling still felt that something was wrong, "Grandma, you forgot that she was brought by the Immortal Monarch." If she really has anything to do with Chiaki Hongkun, it is not easy to go from Nanze to Wufang Mountain overnight. ”
"Since you are so worried, what are you going to do? Behind her, there is Qianqiu Hongkun behind her. You have to think about it. ”
Gu Shuling also poured herself a cup of tea, and the teacup rubbed in her fingertips. "She's better not to be from the Ximin family, and it's best not to compete with me for the qualification to set foot in Taiqing Tian as an immortal......"
......
The rain continued unabated, and the sun of the second morning appeared hazy in the rain line. The bell of Laojun Pavilion came from a distance, waking up the Yuanqing audience who were still asleep. The plan of the day lies in the morning, and the daily non-stop morning class of Yuan Qingguan is about to begin.
Xing Mo rubbed her somewhat blurry eyes, lifted the quilt and got up. In front of her, steaming dishes lay on a small table.
A plate of stir-fried bamboo shoots, a cup of stewed tofu with cabbage and a plate of pickled melon, plus two bowls of white porridge.
Ting Ruo had just placed two pairs of bamboo chopsticks and wiped his hands with an apron. Seeing Xingmo wake up, he smiled at her, "Come on, come and try the dishes I cooked." ”
Xingmo felt pleasantly surprised, and went out to wash her face with the mountain stream water stored in the clay jar in the courtyard, feeling cool and cold. turned around and went back to the house and ate breakfast with Ting Ruo and the two of them on the small square table. I love and admire Ting Ruo more and more.
After that, they followed the slightly muddy gravel path at the top of the hill in one direction, as everyone else did.
Seeing that we were on the edge of the cliff, the rain and fog were very thick in the distance. Xing Mo could only barely see the emerald Laojun Peak hidden behind layers of rain and clouds.
At this time, many people around her were also standing on the edge of the cliff, and in front of them was a wooden suspension bridge standing on the edge of the cliff.
From this angle, they could only see a third of the drawbridge. The remaining two-thirds were all hidden by clouds and mist, and all she could see was a fog, and if it wasn't for the twilight rain that day telling her that this suspension bridge could lead directly to Laojun Peak, she would never have seen it.
She looked at the suspension bridge on the top of the cliff, swaying slightly in the wind, and her heart was a little hairy, "Looking at the appearance of this bridge, it seems that no one has repaired it for a long time." You all walk back and forth on this bridge, are you sure it's strong?"
Xing Mo couldn't help but ask Ting Ruo, Ting Ruo touched his head, and said with some embarrassment: "Actually...... We're not going to take this bridge. ”
"Don't go, then how do you get to Laojun Peak?"
As soon as Xing Mo asked, she felt as if there was a wind around her. Turning her head, she saw that the few disciples who were originally beside her had already risen into the air in the clouds.
More and more people gathered thick white clouds under their feet, floating into the air, and slowly flew away in the direction of Laojun Peak.
"It turns out that you can all ride the clouds, no wonder this bridge looks so shabby, maybe no one has used it for a long time. It's no wonder, after all, this is Yuanqingguan...... If you can ride the clouds, who will walk with these legs......"
Ting Ruo pouted, "Actually, everyone is still half-, and everyone's kung fu is not very good." At most, I can ensure that I reach Laojun Peak...... If, if you carry another person, I am afraid that the cloud will leak, and I will not be able to bear this weight. ”
Xing Mo smiled at Ting Ruo, "I understand this, Ting Ruo, you can also drive the clouds to Laojun Peak, you don't have to wait for me...... Looking at the suspension bridge, I'm afraid I'm going to have to walk for a long time. Don't delay your practice. ”
With that, Xing Mo turned around and walked towards the edge of the drawbridge.
Ting Ruo said: "Wait...... I'll walk with you to Laojun Peak. ”
Xing Mo was a little surprised, but then smiled anyway. The two of them were already standing in front of the drawbridge.
Xing Mo looked at the gloomy and hazy road ahead, and under her feet was a bottomless but hidden cliff in the clouds. Just like the fate of my own life, I suddenly felt a little unsure of what to do.
Ting Ruo stretched out his hand and grabbed one of Xingmo's hands, "Let's go?" and only said two words to her.
Xing Mo nodded, and the two of them held hands and stepped on the secluded suspension bridge hanging on the top of the two mountain peaks.
Both of them just let out a long breath and did not look back, and then the second and third steps, the sparse planks under their feet seemed to be trampled on, and the creaking sound continued.
It's just that neither of them noticed that five steps later, above their heads, on the upper part of the bridge, there was a wooden sign, and the wooden sign was engraved in black with the three big words "Love Farewell".
Xing Mo and Ting Ruo stepped out again, stepping over the wooden plank like a house number. The original squeaking of the wooden planks that filled my ears seemed to become more and more blurred, and even disappeared.
Xing Mo's face was still getting heavier and heavier, and when she walked here, her eyes became more and more foggy, and she couldn't even see things outside her arm's arm. She walked slowly forward, stepping down, but there was no sound at all.
She couldn't help but feel a little strange, "Ting Ruo, why is there no sound of wooden planks now?"
For a long time, I didn't receive a reply from Ting Ruo. "Did you hear that?"
She suddenly felt that something was wrong, and her hand forced, raised her arm, and only one handkerchief of Ting Ruo was left in the hand that was originally holding Ting Ruo.
Just now, it was obvious that the two of them stepped into this suspension bridge hand in hand, why did she only have a handkerchief in her hand now?
Xing Mo suddenly felt a little numb on her scalp, and cold sweat unconsciously ran down the bun around her ears. She doesn't have a weapon in her hand to defend herself now, and she is on this dangerous bridge at a high altitude, if she encounters any East China Sea Yaksha like last night, it will really be a day of failure, so she doesn't dare to move now, just quietly grasping the hemp rope on one side of the bridge with one hand.
Where could Ting Ruo go, did he fall off the bridge? This is impossible, she has been holding her hand. How did it become her handkerchief? If she did fall off the bridge, she would have been able to detect it. At this moment, she didn't notice that such a big living person disappeared from her side without a trace.
Just when she was at a loss and worried. The fog in front of me seemed to have dissipated somewhat.
As the sun shone down, her vision became clearer.
It had been silent, but now she heard the faint sound of tinkling music in the distance. The smell of the mouth and nose is also a delicate fragrance of flowers and herbs.
The five-colored glow swept away the cold rain and fog. In the distance in front of Xing Mo is a rainbow standing in the golden sunlight, and as far as the eye can see, the red walls and pillars, the pavilions and pavilions are scattered, standing on a pool of water that faintly shimmers like diamond starlight.
A thin waterfall falls into the pool from a high place, and two people sit in a pavilion by the water's edge.
Xingmo itself is on the suspension bridge, but at this time, under the feet is a solid corridor ground paved with bluestone. She no longer had the hemp rope on the bridge, but the handrail of the red beauty that stretched out the corridor.
Her ears were fluttering fairy music and the gentle song of the warbler, it was so beautiful that she couldn't help but step out and walk towards the pavilion.
The two people in the pavilion, a woman's long skirt was unusually gorgeous, like a patchwork of countless broken diamonds, reflecting a faint glow. Her pupils are also very beautiful, really as shining as rhinestones, but unlike others, they are actually slender, like a snake.
The person who spoke to her was dressed in red, and his black hair fell leisurely.
Xing Mo hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand and suppressed a surprise sound. This person is none other than Taiqing Tianjin Immortal Duduyu.
She hid behind a red pillar outside the pavilion and heard the woman say, "Yuan Yi, you are also lonely alone in Yuxia Mountain. It's been a long time since you've passed away, and you've always been dedicated to your duties...... Hey, I've got two gadgets for you. ”
As she spoke, she stretched out her palm, and two half-foot-tall painted white porcelain figurines appeared on the stone table in the pavilion.
Yuan Yi smiled: "Why are you still so out of tune, why did you give me two porcelain maids?"
The woman also smiled briskly, "The days of the gods are long and leisurely, but they are also boring. These two porcelain figurines are the best products I made, and they have been treasured for a long time and have never been awakened.
Now to you, when you feel that life is boring, you will wake them up with your treasures. Naturally, he has become the immortal of your Guxia Mountain, accompanying you...... It's better than 10,000 years of loneliness. ”
