The clouds and mist on the sea gradually dissipated, and after they dispersed, there were no mountains, no islands, and no gods, everything was like an illusion. However, the traces of the sea washing on the shore are still there, and the jade talisman in my hand proves that everything really happened.

Shenao can disappear silently, and naturally it can also appear silently, and I made such a big move just now, I am afraid that it was deliberately shown to Taoist priests and American soldiers to deter them.

I turned around and saw the middle-aged man standing on top of a rock halfway up the mountain, still with a shocked and incredulous expression, where was the fearlessness and domineering before?

We should go, staying here will inevitably have a lot of dreams at night, I asked Lin Mei to wait a while, first picked up Ling Fengpiao, and jumped to the old cave of Xiaoxue in Taihang Mountain. It was very quiet, there was no one nearby, only a few birds and a pool of fish scared away. Putting down Ling Fengpiao, I immediately went back and hugged Ouyang Zhenfei and "carried" it, but it took a few seconds to transfer the two people.

When I returned to the island again and wanted to transfer with Lin Mei in my arms, Lin Mei said, "Wait a minute, don't you want to go over and say a few words to Lu Qingwen?" ”

I looked over there, a few old Taoists were muttering together, and Lu Qingwen looked at the sea blankly, looking like she couldn't give up. I said, "What else is there to say?" ”

Lin Mei gently pinched my waist from behind: "Are you pretending to be confused or are you cold as iron?" In order to save us, she worked against her grandfather, her grandfather's suicide also had something to do with her betrayal, and now she is not a person inside and out, but she is afraid that she will not be able to go back to her home, how pitiful! You don't have to worry about me, I'm not that small. ”

I didn't want to admit that I was confused, and I didn't want to admit that my heart was as cold as iron, so I had to say: "She has already said that she is not betraying and opposing her grandfather, but making a choice according to the principles of life that her grandfather usually taught......"

Lin Mei was so angry that she increased the wrinkling force in her hand: "You dare to say that you don't like her at all and sympathize with her?" ”

I turned my head, smiled wryly and shook my head, "What else can I do?" It's fine if she doesn't stab me with a knife now, and besides, we don't have a place for her here! ”

A flush flashed on Lin Mei's face: "Who said no, I never thought of monopolizing it, she treats you like this, can you still bear her?" ”

I know that Lin Mei is telling the truth, she grew up in a special environment, and her living environment when she was a child was similar to that of the last years of the Qing Dynasty, and now although she has integrated into the new era, some moral concepts and social consciousness have not changed, and polygamy is acceptable in her outlook on life. This time it was my turn to be embarrassed: "Well, the times are different, and now three wives and four concubines are not allowed." ”

"Aren't you already married to two? And now those who are rich and officials still have three wives and four concubines, and there are more than a dozen outside, so it's no different. ”

"Xiaoxue is a special case, and she will definitely not agree to ......"

Xiaoxue jumped out: "Hey, hey, don't pull me in, did I say I don't agree?" I don't comment on this matter, I don't have an opinion. ”

Lin Mei pushed me: "Don't go yet!" ”

I stopped and shook my head, it's not that I'm not interested in Lu Qingwen at all, it's not that I don't sympathize with her, people's hearts are made of meat, in fact, I'm very distressed, but it's definitely not suitable to keep her now.

Lin Mei said: "Putting aside love and love, she is like this now, at least you should go over and say a few words of comfort and goodbye, right?" Or it's too impersonal! ”

This can indeed be had, I didn't do it before, firstly, I felt embarrassed and not good to face Lu Qingwen, and secondly, I took into account the feelings of Lin Mei and Xiaoxue, since the two of them have no opinions and strongly support them, of course I want to talk to Lu Qingwen.

Lu Qingwen was already ready to get on the boat, and I walked over quickly: "Can you wait a moment?" Xiaowen, I have something I want to tell you. ”

Although the three veterans were a little unhappy, they all nodded, Lu Qingwen hesitated slightly, but still lowered her head and walked to the side with me. I emitted a spiritual force field to shield the surroundings from others to hear our words, and then said, "I know you're feeling uncomfortable, and I'm sorry that things are like this, so please mourn and be careful." ”

"Hmm." Lu Qingwen still lowered her head, twisted the fingers of her hands together, and gently kicked the sand with her feet.

"You...... Any plans? ”

Lu Qingwen smiled sadly: "What else can I plan." ”

I was silent, she was silent, I found that it was useless to talk too much nonsense, so it was better to be more direct: "Will you come with us?" This is not only what I mean, but also what Lin Mei means. ”

Lu Qingwen finally raised her head and looked at me with a slightly surprised look, she should understand the meaning of my words. I saw a glint of hope and eagerness in her eyes, but it soon vanished, replaced by blankness, gloom and loneliness, like an old tree that had lost its leaves in the autumn wind.

"No, my heart is dead, and I don't want your sympathy."

I hurriedly said, "This is not sympathy, this is sincerity." ”

Lu Qingwen shook her head indifferently: "You go, I want to send my grandfather back and keep a wake for him, whether what I do is right or wrong, I have to face it." ”

I was a little ashamed because when I was in trouble, I often unconsciously wanted to run away, and I was not as strong as her.

"So take care and have a nice trip."

Lu Qingwen answered, didn't look at me again, turned around and left......

Returning to Lin Mei, Lin Mei asked, "How is it?" ”

"She's stronger than we thought."

Lin Mei was stunned for a moment: "Could it be pretended?" ”

Xiaoxue said: "You don't know women, have you made an appointment with her to meet next time?" ”

I waved my hand a little irritably: "Don't guess, let her be quiet and go." ”

“……”

In the depths of Taihang Mountain, in the cave where Xiaoxue once was, after I treated the wounds of Ling Fengpiao and Ouyang Zhenfei, they hurriedly asked me to match the eight pieces of jade into one. After countless expectations and speculations, after nine deaths and hardships that cannot be expressed in words, we finally got eight jade talismans, what secrets are hidden in them?

I took out all the jade talismans and placed them on a stone platform, and the sides of each jade talisman were two grooves, one concave and one convex, which happened to be in line with the adjacent jade talismans. I put it together piece by piece, and the five of them had ten eyes wide open, and I was a little nervous and inserted the last piece into it......

Nothing happened, and the aura of each jade talisman was also independent, not forming a whole. We were all amazed, isn't there a miracle in the unity of the eight pieces?

Or is the stitching in the wrong place? Nowadays, Taoist priests and Yin and Yang families commonly use the acquired gossip, also called King Wen gossip, that is, the distance is above, the kan is below, the shock is on the left, and the exchange is on the right...... arrangement. In fact, there is also a kind of innate gossip map, also called Fuxi gossip, that is, the dry is on the top, the kun is on the bottom, the left is on the left, and the kan is on the right......

I took apart the jade talisman, rearranged it according to the innate Bagua diagram, and then closed it piece by piece, and when I stuffed the last piece into it, there was a sudden strong spiritual power fluctuation in the direction of the cave entrance, and a cloud of white qi like a cloud of mist poured in.

We were all taken aback, and intuitively thought that someone superior had come to grab the jade talisman, so we hurriedly made preparations for the battle.

A person slowly walked out of the mist, with a calm expression and a smile, and we were all dumbfounded at first glance, how is this possible?

Even if we saw the Ghost Valley Patriarch walk in, we wouldn't be so shocked, because we couldn't imagine that we would be able to see him in our lifetime!

"Great Master!" We all fell to our knees.

This person is less than fifty years old, with sword eyebrows, a nose like a hanging gall, and three strands of black beard, which is extremely similar to the portrait of my great-master and ancestor left to me by my master, but he is a little older, but he looks more fairy.

"Huh...... Get up. Zeng Shizu said with a smile, holding his hands in a false position, and we all stood up involuntarily.

"Is it really you?" "Great-Master, why are you here?" We asked questions one after another, we were too excited to be polite, in fact, we wanted to ask more about how he could come back to life when he was dead.

Zeng Shizu signaled us not to be in a hurry, stroked his long beard and said without hurrying: "Speaking of which, in short, because of my meritorious work in suppressing demons, Master Zu reunited my soul and let me enter the secret realm of the Ghost Valley, and now I am also an immortal." I knew when you first found Tai, and I had already left when I came the second time, and I also knew what happened afterwards, and you did a great job. ”

"Ghost Valley Secret Realm?" We were even more pleasantly surprised, it turned out that Zeng Shizu arrived in the secret realm of the valley ghost and became an immortal, no wonder I couldn't sense him near Tai Sui later.

Zeng Shizu said: "The secret realm of the Ghost Valley is a paradise, where the wind and rain are smooth, there is plenty of food and clothing, the old and the young are humble, the road is not forgotten, there is no illness and pain, there is no parting and death, to put it mildly, every day is like the New Year." Of course, such a place cannot be allowed to outsiders to enter at will, and only those who have made great achievements and achievements in their own gate can only enter with permission. People who are not allowed to step on iron shoes have nowhere to find, which is just as Buddhism said, the Buddha sits in his heart, do not ask for Lingshan, he can't find it when he runs around, and he will naturally get his achievements. ”

Ling Fengpiao hurriedly asked, "Zeng Shizu, can we go in, and you come to greet us?" ”

"Haha......" Zeng Shizu laughed, "You, you have to work harder, I'm here to find your senior brother." ”

Ouyang Zhenfei said excitedly: "Great, senior brother is also going to become an immortal, in the future, I can proudly tell others that my senior brother is an immortal!" ”

"You two little ones!" Like a grandfather looking at his naughty grandson, Zeng Shizu pointed at the two and shook his head, "No matter how good the senior brother is, he is still a senior brother, and he still needs to work hard himself." Besides, I came this time, not to invite him into the secret realm of the Ghost Valley, but to be entrusted by the ancestor of the Ghost Valley, and an important task was given to him. ”

I hurriedly bowed my hand: "I am willing to listen to the dispatch of my ancestors." ”

Zeng Shizu smiled: "There are no outsiders here, so there is no need to be formal." It's not hard to say, it's not easy to say, and if you don't want to do it, no one can force you. It is more than enough to enter the secret realm of the ghost valley with your cultivation, that is, your wife, Bingqing Yujie, virtuous and benevolent, and extremely martial arts, can also enter with you, the ancestor of the ghost valley did not let you enter immediately, but made other arrangements. ”
