Volume 1 Mountains and Rivers Meet Chapter 22 "Ninety Thousand Miles"
The stars came with stars, and walked away without stars, put on the brim of the robe and waved the sleeves as a farewell,
Until he watched the figure of the star disappear into the darkness of the pine forest and never see it again, Ah Qing had no intention of sending it off, he stared at the calm water of Longhu Lake, and looked at the fiery red light looming at the bottom of the deep lake, and still felt "familiar" and familiar.
Ah Qing stopped and thought about it for a long time, but he still didn't think of it, so that Yun Ting called softly, but he didn't hear it.
Ah Qing came back to his senses and asked slightly apologetically, "What did Seventh Sister say just now?"
Yun Ting's cold face remained frightened and asked, "There is a spirit array in Longhu?"
This is her guess, she has been practicing on the shore of Longhu for seven years, and she is already a practitioner in the upper realm of the Soul Melting Realm, so she can naturally sense the strength of Longhu's aura, otherwise she would not use it as a cultivation ground.
She believed in the legend of Longhu, and thought it was a relic like Ah Qing before, but she never thought that she would really be able to see the ancient holy spirit exuding an incomparably powerful power in front of her in her lifetime, and her fingers were still trembling until now.
"It should be. Qing nodded.
Xingxing rarely speaks, so Xingxing's every word Aqing listened carefully.
"If you kill him, you won't even think of it in this life. ”
Where did it come from, and what does it have to do with you?
Ah Qing followed Xu Yanqi to practice the spirit array, and he always drew some strange patterns, and the clear formation Xu Yanqi only taught "a thousand catties", although this is the case, it is also really over the threshold of the formation.
After the stars didn't know what kind of secret method the stars fell into the lake to make the dragon appear, Ah Qing saw the strangeness of Baili Dragon Lake.
The lake, the shore, the pine forest, and even the air have wisps of spiritual power carved into a huge pattern along a certain trajectory, encompassing the entire pine forest dragon lake.
Yes, it's not aura, but spiritual power, it's a certain walker's amazing handiwork!
Any member of the formation could tell that this was an ancient spirit array, even older than the giant dragon under the Dragon Lake.
And the strong aura that Ah Qing sensed before was also confined here by this array, and became the nourishment for the immortal operation of the spirit array for thousands of years.
What kind of cultivator can do this?
Ah Qing really can't imagine that he is currently just a practitioner who has established a state of mind. After two years of spiritual cultivation, he only saw the old man's entourage beside Zhao Quan shattering his formation with one palm. He never saw the vice president, Grandpa Xu, Master, and even the senior brothers and sisters show their true strength.
For Ah Qing, Pingfan Mountain is just a mountain, and Pingfan Academy is just a courtyard.
Dragons, formations, aura, I ......
Ah Qing's eyebrows repeatedly showed that he was very irritable now, because he remembered a sentence he saw in a book that he didn't know which one: "This is all a fate that we can't change." ”
Ah Qing is different from every energetic teenager who confidently said: "My life is up to me, not to God" This kind of impassioned words, on the contrary, he believes in his fate, which is very strange, and he even thinks that there is something wrong with his psychology.
Ah Qing thought that one day he must go to the Tang Dynasty, and the old host in the "White Elephant Temple", who is known as the "great wisdom" in the world, must be very good at explaining "life".
Ah Qing and Yun Ting left Longhu, and the two were speechless.
Ah Qing lowered his head and pondered, he recalled in his mind what happened today, there were the Star Heavenly Prison Boy, the Ice Blue Star, the Dragon Lake, the Giant Dragon, and the Spirit Array......
Wait! Ah Qing slapped his head! Finally remembered why the fiery red light was so familiar!
Yun Ting looked puzzled as she watched her little junior brother trot back to Longhu with a puzzled face, and after a while, Ah Qing ran back wet, and her clothes were burned and tattered.
Ah Qing whistled and looked up at the starry sky, but he still couldn't see the ice-blue star in the far east, nor could he see the fiery red star that was closest to the ice-blue star when he first saw it.
......
......
"Brother Aqing is back!" A few children ran into the smoke-filled village with kites in their hands, their little faces flushed with excitement, and they didn't know if it was caused by running too happily while shouting, or because of the red cheeks that had been frozen out of the winter.
I don't know whose dog barked for the first time, which resonated with his companions, and suddenly the sound of barking resounded in this small village where the sun rises and sets.
When the villagers heard the noise, more than a dozen women and men walked all the way to the entrance of the village, and when they encountered the village dog running while barking, they kicked it from time to time.
"Isn't this Aqing?" said a woman holding her child.
"I almost didn't recognize it!
"That's not it, it's been two years, you can see that this son is growing really fast, and it's not as thin as before. ”
"The eyes are still so good-looking, as bright as the little girl's big eyes, and they look a little pretty. ”
"Look at the three girls next to Aqing, they are really good-looking, this must be the daughters of a big family in the city!"
"It should be no worse! Especially the one who looks like a fairy, and I don't know what kind of good rouge gouache is used, and his face is so white. ”
"Look, I'll just say that Ah Qing, this stinky boy, is rich and noble at first glance, you look at what he wears, it must be worth a few dollars. ”
"It's a pity that Sister Liu's daughter, that stupid girl has always been a little interesting to Aqing. ”
"Alas, be quiet, Sister Liu will have to give you a hurry in a while. ”
"Look at the boy next to Ah Qing, he looks really pretty!"
"Yo, sister, it's not the way the old cow eats tender grass, but your man has a lot of strength to plough the fields. ”
......
More and more people gathered at the entrance of the village, old people, men, women, and many children with bowls with wide eyes, not daring to confirm that the young man in front of them was Brother Aqing, who used to accompany him to catch crickets.
Ah Qingqing's face was flushed, but his bright eyes were flashing with excitement.
I haven't come back for two years, and Xintao Village is still the same Xintao Village, quiet and peaceful. Uncles and aunts are still like that, whenever outsiders come or pass by, they will go to the village gate to have a look, and the same is true of their former selves.
For the villagers, life is uneventful, except for the busy farming and the wonderful things between the neighbors in the village, just look at the passers-by, the dirt on their shoes often represents how many miles they have walked.
Ah Qing smiled happily, greeted everyone, and told everyone about his life in the past two years, studying in the Ordinary Academy, and eating and fun in Longhu City. He also took out the candy wrapped in exquisite candy paper from his pocket and gave it to the children, touched their heads, the children's eyes were full of admiration and happiness, and they stared at the brother who had changed greatly in the past two years, and his own adults hurriedly reprimanded: "Thank you Brother Aqing." ”
The villagers had different expressions after hearing "studying in the Ordinary Academy", but their eyes were still so close when they saw Aqing.
For them, Ah Qing is still the child who grew up in Xintao Village, even if he really becomes a "fairy figure", Xintao Village will not ask Ah Qing to do anything.
Some people yearn for dangerous buildings, and some people yearn for ordinary buildings.
Ah Qing smiled and touched the children's heads and shook his head, introducing the four around him with the women and men.
Naturally, it is the four senior brothers and sisters who participated in this year's Fuyao test together, Yun Ting, Zhou Xin, Ren Jing and Yuan Huanhuan.
Guo Yao, the master who led the team, did not come with him, saying that he followed them and did not need to pay attention. There are still ten years to go, as long as they arrive at Yingdu, the capital of Great Chu, on time, the itinerary will be up to them.
So the five of them walked around the court as a holiday, and instead of wearing the eye-catching college student costumes, they changed into their own clothes.
Ah Qing's simple gray clothes and linen are not very eye-catching, while Yuan Huanhuan's white clothes and handsome appearance show the gentle and jade demeanor of a handsome son.
Yun Ting's light blue plain long skirt adds a beautiful face and a little cold. Ren Jing's figure is relatively petite, and she can still set off the goose yellow flower skirt, and her smile is sweet and quiet, and the feeling of the sister next door comes to her face. And Zhou Xin is dressed in an ordinary power suit, which is clean and refreshing.
When the villagers asked if they had found their parents, Aqing smiled brightly and said that they had found it, and it would take a long time for them to come back.
Yuan Xianhuan looked at the smile of the junior brother in the crowd, and was a little sad. The eyes of the senior sisters are also gentle like water.
Now everyone in the academy knows Ah Qing's life experience, no one cares whether Ah Qing's parents are saints or not, they only know that Ah Qing is the youngest twelve.
On that day on the top of the back mountain, Ah Qing and his senior brothers and sisters were drinking the peach blossom wine they brewed, their cheeks were red and slightly drunk, and they shouted loudly to the east: "I will definitely climb the mountain one day! Daddy, you wait for me!"
It was the night before Yan Shi and Bu Xingchen left the academy, and a group of people sat on the top of the back mountain drinking farewell peach blossom wine, talking about their ideals, and drifting into the distance with the mountain wind.
Ideals are a very empty topic, because I don't know if it can be expected. But the light reflected on the faces of the twelve people by the campfire was like the morning sun.
The twelve were drunk that night.
......
When the five of them returned to Aqing's residence, it was already the bright moon hanging in the air. Ah Qing pushed open the courtyard door, it can be seen that under the soft moonlight, the peach blossom tree in the courtyard is full of peach blossoms, and the faint fragrance of peach blossoms comes with the wind.
Yuan Huanhuan yawned and said, "The little junior brother is really good at living, and he also planted a small peach tree in the courtyard. ”
Yun Ting said lukewarmly: "That must be much stronger than you, Jin Yuqi." ”
Zhou Xin and Ren Jing sneered, Yuan Huanhuan was speechless, and Ah Qing frowned at Yuan Huanhuan.
No one has set foot in the courtyard for the past two years, and when he left, Aqing handed over the key to the village chief, and just had dinner at the village chief's house. All five of them drank a lot, and their faces were flushed at this time.
Ah Qing pushed open the door of the house, choked on the oncoming dust, fanned it with his sleeve, and found the oil lamp in the house from memory, and when a faint light was on, several people began to clean up the room, and they were going to rest here tonight.
After the three of them cleaned up, they chatted for a while, mostly about things in the village, such as the girl from the village chief's family who kept looking at Ah Qing during dinner, Ah Qing's face was flushed when she was troubled, and Ren Jing continued to joke with a smile.
Soon after, a few people rested, Ah Qing and Yuan Huanhuan slept in the west house, and the senior sisters slept in the east house, and Ah Qing slept very sweetly this night.
......
The difference between the city and the countryside is reflected in many aspects: the houses on the edge of the fields, the restaurants and inns beside the official roads, the refreshing and cool wind rustling through the branches and leaves of the trees, the dust raised by the horse-drawn carriage flying in the air, the quiet late night only hearing the time of the husband, and the drunken people in the bright fireworks alleys.
When the next day dawned, Aqing got up to boil water and wash, prepared hot water for Yuan Huanhuan and the senior sisters, and then joined the villagers' morning jogging team.
As before, A-Qing has not yet entered Longhu City and has not climbed Pingfan Mountain.
The senior brothers and sisters got up and washed up, waited for Ah Qing to come back at the door of the house, and went to the village chief's house for breakfast together, which was specially instructed by the village chief's wife, Aunt Liu, last night.
After breakfast, the five of them came to the peach grove in the north of the village, the village chief's home is not far from here, and Aqing when he was a child was not less than Aunt Liu pulled his ears out of the peach grove.
Different from the amazing and shocking feeling given by the peach blossom mountain, the peach forest in front of you is more of the intoxication of the flowering forest, the deep red and light red in the field of vision reflect each other, and the fragrance of peach blossoms can be clearly smelled.
A few people wandered in the peach forest, contented.
......
Many people bid farewell at the entrance of the village, and the children held the hands of the adults and looked at the backs of the five people with envy.
Ah Qing and his party left the village. Ah Qing never looked back in the previous step, and even his steps were a little hurried.
Because he didn't know when the next time he would come back, he had to go faster.
The road in front of Aqing still has "90,000 miles".
