Chapter Ninety-Seven: Once in 10,000 Years, Not Seen for Many Years
"What's that?"
A smiling and dazzling white light suddenly appeared in the void mirror, followed by a rhythmic sound of stamping.
General Lan Hai looked at the object in the mirror and said, "Is that a spiritual object that helps people practice? That kid's luck is too good." ”
"Haven't you heard that when people have only one goal, the whole world will give in, and maybe even summon a 10,000-year-old spirit object?" said Prime Minister Zheng Hang with a smile.
"What kind of spirit is that?"
"A once-in-a-lifetime meat mushroom. The prime minister replied calmly.
General Lan Hai has always been arrogant and cold, but at this time, there were many complicated expressions on his proud face.
......
......
The sound of stepping on the horse was approaching, and this familiar rhythm made Lu Beichen a little surprised.
The sound was faint and didn't make much noise, and you won't notice it if you don't listen closely.
It's just that those rhythms are too familiar, and there is no shortage of things in this world that make people look at them for thousands of years, and when they hear about them, Lu Beichen can naturally judge them.
Yes, it was impossible for him to forget, just a little incredulous.
Is this sound really the sound of stepping on a horse seven years ago?
Is it the seven- or eight-inch centaur?
"Fool...... Fool ......"
A slightly childish laugh rang out in the air.
Lu Beichen stood up suddenly, and while looking around, the light from the window illuminated the surprised look on his face even brighter.
A small thing of seven or eight inches stepped on some small stone like a fly, and stepped lightly from a distance. In a moment, he appeared in the underground dungeon of the Ocean Palace, in front of Lu Beichen's eyes.
Seven years ago, he met this little thing in a grove that the book called "Rouzhi". It appears in a hurry, then disappears in an unexpected instant, making it unpredictable.
Seven years is enough time for former friends to part ways, and even make memories drift away in joys and sorrows. The past is like smoke, even the closest Master, Master, Xiao Yan, and Gu Yin can disappear, how can he dare to believe that this spiritual creature with only one side of the relationship will appear here and now?
"Is it you? is it really you?" Lu Beichen said in a daze, but found that his eyes were already moist.
The little thing couldn't help but laugh.
The scene of that year appeared in front of Lu Beichen's eyes again, riding a horse alone, no more than one meter high, the snow-white body shimmered with a crystal luster like mutton fat jade, and the eye-catching antlers exuded irresistible beauty......
Today, nothing has changed.
The antlers still exude an irresistible charm, the shyness hidden in the eyes still hasn't dissipated, and the warmth that comes to the face still lingers.
From beginning to end, it has never changed in appearance or mind.
Time flies, and when he recalls, when he met Rouzhi, it was also when he met that girl.
I went a long way because of my anger, but I met her in that grove. Then they run away together, but accidentally fall into the wolf's den. The agreement in the wolf's cave, as well as the casual encounter, left an indelible feeling in his heart.
It was a subtle feeling, and it was difficult for him to describe it in words at the age of eight, and he found it impossible to express it at the age of fifteen.
All along, Master and Master always taught him to learn to calm his mind, not to be happy with things, not to be sad about himself, and to be calm and calm when encountering problems, these are not difficult things. For him, it is easy to control anger, and it is not difficult to control joys and sorrows, otherwise he would not have quickly adjusted his state after knowing that Sun Moon Mountain was burned, and he has persevered until now.
But for that subtle feeling, he always felt too special to control and hard to forget.
It's been seven years, he's grown up, she's grown up, it's just that the past is a thing of the past.
......
......
"Why are you here?" Lu Beichen touched the particularly eye-catching antlers and asked with some indulgence.
The antlers fiddled slightly, as if they were responding to Lu Beichen, but it was more like a child coquettish to his father.
"Little thing, it's cold in here. Lu Beichen rubbed his hands, picked up this little meat mushroom, and hugged its little head like the master warmed his hands when he was a child.
Rouzhi lay on his hand, looking particularly comfortable.
"How did you get here, did they find you?"
For some reason, when Lu Beichen saw it, it was like seeing an old friend, and he spoke pleasantly, although he didn't know if this spiritual creature could understand it.
Roshiba shook his little head in denial.
Lu Beichen glanced at it, a little surprised, it was still able to understand its own words.
"I really didn't expect to meet an old friend in this situation. It would be nice if I could see her again. ”
"You know, after you left that day, we met a wolf and fell into the wolf's den. But it's good that you're gone, there were so many mountain beasts at that time, and you were so small, I'm really worried that you'll be eaten......"
"I've heard before that the meat mushroom is made by absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon from the Ganoderma lucidum that grows on the white stone rock and irrigating it with the spring water from the Yumo Spring. In addition to being hard-won, it is also because it will stay for a person for 10,000 years, and then it will always stay by his side.
"I didn't expect you to run away by yourself, it seems that the legends are all fake. But I wouldn't have met her without you. And after that day, I felt like I was a little different, as if I had gotten smarter. ”
"But, I haven't seen her since. That mountain was also burned down, and I would never have a chance to take her to the academy again.
Lu Beichen talked to himself, didn't stop until he was a little tired, looked at the little thing, couldn't help sighing, and continued, "I'm sorry, I talked so much. Maybe it's because I saw my old friends, I've been away from Sun Moon Mountain for too long, and I really miss the old days, those idle afternoons, and those quiet evenings. ”
Roshiba didn't react, just stared at him blankly.
This is normal. It's like finding a catharsis object after going through a lot, especially if this object is still an old friend, so the words that have been hidden in Lu Beichen's heart are like a tide.
"Actually, I really want to tell Master that I am no longer the child who grew up in his arms, and I also want to say thank you to Master, if it weren't for his constant spiritual encouragement, I wouldn't have been able to go down the mountain, I wouldn't have been able to believe that I could go further, and I wouldn't have been able to try to build a foundation. ”
"And Koiwa and Gu Yin...... Actually, I've always known my body, and I'm sad, but I don't want to show it......"
His mind was chaotic, without any logic in time and space, but these were things he never mentioned to anyone.
Maybe it's because Rouzhi is just a thing, not a person after all, or maybe at this time, he really wants to say something that has never been said, and then he has no regrets.
No regrets, generally it is the feeling that you have come to the end of something.
It may be the feeling after completing a journey, or the feeling when the mirror is about to break on the road of cultivation and face the end of a certain realm. Of course, it may also be a heavy feeling when you reach the end of your life.
"Now that Master has lost the letter I sent, I was hoping to find a glimmer of life through my practice, but I couldn't find any way to continue. I don't know how long I'll be stuck here, I don't know how I'm going to walk......"
Lu Beichen was a little depressed when he talked about this.
There was no response, as if he was listening, and he didn't seem to care about these trivial matters in the world.
At some point, it jumped on his palm, lay down and fell asleep, like a child who had been on a long journey home, and then fell asleep with his head down.
Seeing that it was sleeping soundly, Lu Beichen didn't continue, leaned against the wall, looked at the wisps of light outside the window, and didn't know what he was thinking.
In a prison where light is scarce, it's easy to get drowsy.
I don't know how long it took, the sleeping Lu Beichen suddenly felt some snow-white light surrounding him, opened his eyes, and woke up all of a sudden.
What greeted him was a lovely scene - the little snow-white creature was wandering around him, its big sapphire eyes full of aura, and its little hooves seemed to want to touch it, but it shrank back in fear.
He remembered that in the woods, this little spirit creature was also so cautious, as if it wanted to get closer, but it had to keep its distance. It watched for a long time until it was convinced that it was harmless, and then it was willing to take a step closer.
At that time, he thought that the meat was scared, but later he realized that it was shyness.
The slight shyness that is naturally hidden in the eyes makes people feel very cute.
Lu Beichen picked it up with both hands, touched it with his index finger, and said gently, "Is it cold?"
This little spiritual thing shook its head as if it didn't understand, and a light immediately appeared around its body.
The light was so warm that it seemed to easily pass through the skin and hair of the person, and then follow the flow of blood, soaking every corner of the body.
The sensation was mild, so slight that it was hard to notice.
But tonight, I don't know if it's because the surroundings are particularly quiet or the mood is particularly quiet, Lu Beichen noticed this light. Because it felt familiar to him, as if he had been baptized by this light many years ago.
"Fool...... Fool...... Pig and chicken ...... Pigs and chickens ......"
A childish voice interrupted his thoughts.
