Chapter 3: The First Meeting of the Patriarch
Ye Qingyao was slightly stunned, and carefully looked at the old man in front of him: dressed in a blue robe, a light blue giant beast was tattooed on his clothes, which looked magnificent, and a few wrinkles were imprinted on his face. The gray hair was meticulously arranged, giving Ye Qingyao a familiar feeling.
Ye Qingyao raised her eyebrows: this familiar feeling...... Ye Qingyao carefully observed the old man and asked, "Have we met somewhere?"
The old man smiled and said, "I'm afraid the little girl has recognized the wrong person, the old man has been guarding Bingling Village for many years and has never left, how can he talk about acquaintance?" ”
"Really?" Ye Qingyao wondered. Looking at the old man's kind smile, I thought: Maybe I confessed my mistake......
Ye Qingyao took Bai Shujing's hand and stepped into the house, and the scenery in front of her surprised her: there was only one table, a recliner and a bed in the house, which was simple and even a little poor.
Ye Qingyao tugged at the corner of Bai Shujing's clothes and whispered, "Why is your grandfather's family so ordinary?"
Bai Shujing glanced at Ye Qingyao and said in surprise: "Ordinary? This is just the surface, this is just the appearance that the patriarch's grandfather likes." ”
"Do you like it?" Ye Qingyao was even more surprised, Ye Qingyao touched the table and stroked the texture on it: "Is it possible that the wooden table can also change the material?"
"What's the big deal about changing materials? Grandpa's Sword Peak is the real art of change. Bai Shujing looked adoring. aroused Ye Qingyao's curiosity.
Ye Qingyao smiled sweetly and shook Bai Shujing's white little hand: "Sister, can you tell me what Sword Peak is?"
Ye Qingyao's soft words sounded in Bai Shujing's ears, and the warm gas produced by her breath made Bai Shujing a little itchy, Bai Shujing's face was slightly red, and she said in a panic: "You... Don't mess around. Bai Shujing clasped her hands to her chest and rushed out of the door.
Ye Qingyao watched Bai Shujing go away, her innocent expression disappeared, and she said faintly, "Have you seen enough?"
The figure of the old man slowly appeared behind Ye Qingyao, touched his nose, and said strangely, "Are you really only seventeen years old?"
"Seventeen years old, how do you know? Could it be that a few grandfathers told you?" Ye Qingyao's words were sharp, and her words were like a sharp sword trying to pierce the old man.
"Why are you reacting so violently, the girls should be gentle. The old man looked at Ye Qingyao, who was vigilant, smiled helplessly, and said faintly.
"You ......" Ye Qingyao felt like her hand was hitting the cotton, and a sense of powerlessness welled up in her heart. The old man's words made him feel a little embarrassed: Bai Shujing is really, this is what you said I will definitely like the old man?
The old man didn't know that his impression in Ye Qingyao's heart had been greatly discounted now, and after carefully looking at Ye Qingyao's delicate face, his eyes gradually dimmed, and a sense of loneliness appeared in his heart. "Alas. A long sigh echoed through the room, for a long time.
Ye Qingyao seemed to empathize, a heart was lifted, and melancholy spread in her heart. In an instant, Ye Qingyao understood the old man's mind. That's the way the legendary heart-to-heart connection...... Ye Qingyao said secretly in her heart.
"I'm sorry. The old man broke free from his own world, looked at Ye Qingyao who was stunned, and said apologetically.
"It's okay, it's okay. Ye Qingyao waved her hand gently, as if she hadn't broken free from the sad mood just now. "You... How did you do it just now. Ye Qingyao's eyes were slightly red, and she whispered.
The old man scratched his head and said, "It was just an accident just now. ”
"I want to learn. Ye Qingyao raised her head, looked directly at the old man's gaze, and said in a deep voice.
"But you didn't open the life lock, you didn't cultivate, and you couldn't learn. The old man spread out his hands and said helplessly.
"But... But..."Ye Qingyao bit her lip and said stubbornly, "I still want to learn." ”
......
The old man was silent for a moment, and then asked softly, "Do you really want to learn?"
"Hmm. ”
"I'll teach you after you've opened the two life locks. The old man touched Ye Qingyao's hair and said softly.
Ye Qingyao didn't dodge, she was surprisingly quiet, and the old man's slight movements made her feel warm, which she couldn't feel from the four grandfathers. Looking at the old man's smiling face, he secretly said in his heart: Maybe it's really like what Bai Shujing said, and I will like him.
Ye Qingyao took two steps back and asked, "Then how can I open the life lock?"
The old man paced with his back to his back, and said as he walked: "It is difficult to open the life lock, and it is easy to say that it is simple. ”
The old man put his hands on his chest and pressed them in the air. In an instant, the world swirled. Ye Qingyao was stunned to find that she was already standing on the top of a mountain. The old man swiped his right hand, and nine rays of light passed through his fingertips, surrounding the old man. The old man's deep voice echoed above the mountain peak: "The life lock, as the name suggests, is the shackles in a person's life, everyone is locked by the shackles from birth, and what is locked is not the person itself, but the life character. ”
The old man's volley painting: "Since ancient times, since the birth of living beings, there has been a saying that they have broken through the shackles and changed their lives against the sky. The old man's fingers trembled, and an ancient picture scroll gradually appeared in front of Ye Qingyao. There are countless elves and ghosts in the painting, Ye Qingyao's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but be surprised.
"The first person to break the shackles is not recorded in ancient books. Speaking of this, the old man couldn't help but shake his head: "In that era when gods were everywhere, people were the weakest, and gods had nine locks of cultivation since they were born. Humans, on the other hand, need to break their shackles in order to be on par with the gods. ”
"Then why can't you see the gods now?" Ye Qingyao wondered.
"I don't know. The old man shook his head and stared at the sea of clouds in the distance: "Maybe you'll know when your cultivation reaches a certain level." The old man said vaguely.
"Okay. Ye Qingyao shrugged her shoulders, Ye Qingyao knew that she couldn't be ambitious, she didn't even open the life lock, how could she talk about the life lock, and the old man was taboo about Mo Shen?
The old man nodded approvingly, and tapped his right index finger forward, and the nine rays of light galloped away to form the Nine Lives Lock, standing in front of him.
"This is ......" Ye Qingyao looked at the nine life locks in front of her, and hesitated.
A path emerged from under the old man's feet. The old man grabbed Ye Qingyao's hand and walked forward.
Seeing the old man creating things out of thin air, Ye Qingyao secretly praised in his heart: Good spell!
"Each life lock corresponds to a realm, there are nine locks in life, and there are nine heavens in the realm!" the old man nudged with both hands, and the nine life locks slowly opened one by one.
"A realm forging body. The first crimson lock slowly opened. The old man pulled Ye Qingyao over: "Only when the nine veins are opened can the first life lock be opened." Removes impurities and strengthens the body. The fist is like the wind, breaking the muscles and bones. ”
"The two realms are out of the ordinary. The second orange-yellow life lock shattered, and the old man walked through quickly: "This can be regarded as just stepping into the door of cultivation, attracting the aura of heaven and earth into the body, and understanding the creation of all things in Zhou Tian." ”
"The Three Realms contain spirits. The old man blew lightly, and the third light blue life lock broke in the wind, Ye Qingyao grabbed forward, but the third life lock had already dissipated.
"Condensing the soul of the four realms. ”
"The Law of the Five Realms. ”
"Six Realms Refining God. ”
"The Seven Realms are back to nothingness. ”
"Nirvana in the Eight Realms. ”
"The Nine Realms are one. ”
In the blink of an eye, the old man had already taken Ye Qingyao to complete the entire journey, looking at the fog ahead, Ye Qingyao couldn't help asking, "What about after the Nine Realms?"
"After the Nine Realms, ah......" The old man was silent for a moment, and with a wave of his hand, Ye Qingyao found himself back in the house.
"Huh?" Ye Qingyao saw the silent old man, and just wanted to say the words that swallowed again.
After a long time, the old man walked out. Ye Qingyao looked at the lonely old man and asked, "Where are you going?"
The old man paused for a moment, and said without looking back, "Send you home." ”
"Good. Ye Qingyao hurriedly followed.
Bai Shuxing sat on the ground boringly checking the things in the package, looked at the patriarch's house, and turned his head to look at Bai Shujing on the side.
Bai Shuxing and Bai Shujing glanced at each other: Why hasn't Ye Qingyao come out yet?
Bai Shuxing looked around, and when she was sure that there was no one, she asked quietly, "Sister, do you know why Ye Qingyao stayed in there for so long?"
Bai Shujing's face turned red, thinking of Ye Qingyao's small actions just now, she was extremely shy in her heart. Panickedly replied: "I don't know, I really don't know." ”
"Really?" Bai Shuxing asked. What's wrong with my sister today? Since the patriarch's grandfather came out, she has been a little distracted, what did she meet?
"She came out. Bai Shujing saw the patriarch and Ye Qingyao walking out of the house. Bai Shujing hurriedly stood up, and after instructing Bai Shuxing to do a few words, she quickly ran away.
"What the hell is going on?" Bai Shuxing soothed her muscles and slowly stood up. Walked towards Ye Qingyao.
When the old man saw Bai Shuxing's figure, the corners of his mouth twitched: Why hasn't this kid left yet?
Bai Shu walked in front of the old man and smiled: "Patriarch Grandpa, where are you going?"
"Send Ye Qingyao home. The old man's hands flew up, and a light blue streamer emerged from the palm of his hand, and the old man threw it lightly, and the streamer was like a psychic beast, straight into the sky, and in a moment it collided with the clouds, and scattered away, turning into a layer of light curtain to protect the village.
"I'm leaving the village this time, and I'll be back in a few days, you tell everyone not to worry, the ice spirit will protect everyone. The old man seemed to be worried about the village, and told Bai Shu to do the way.
"Let's go. The old man grabbed Ye Qingyao's hand and rose into the air, galloping away into the distance.
"Do you know where my house is?" Ye Qingyao felt the wind pass by her ears, and when she looked back, the Ice Spirit Village had turned into a small black dot. In an instant, I don't know how many miles have been traveled!
"Yes. The old man smiled slightly, pointed to the open space in front of him, and said, "Isn't that there?"
"Didn't you say that you haven't been out for many years, how can you know so much about my family!" Ye Qingyao grinded her teeth and said urgently.
"Three years is a long time. The old man lowered to the ground and smiled.
"You are shameless!" Ye Qingyao said angrily.
"Maybe a little. The old man touched his chin.
"Four fellow Daoists, the old man is here!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Qingyao only felt that her figure flickered, and the old man next to her had long since disappeared, leaving only the old man in red in front of him looking at him with a smile.
"Third grandfather!" Ye Qingyao exclaimed in surprise.
The old man in red looked at the figure behind Ye Qingyao that was embedded in the snowy mountain, and couldn't help muttering: "I don't know who gave you the courage, even Yaoyao you dare to touch it, do you think you won't be killed if you pretend to know me?"
