Chapter 38: Farewell (II)
Although he has never been far away, Lu Beichen has had good living habits since he was a child, so he is not ambiguous at all in terms of packing things.
After packing his things, he saw Gu Yin and Xiao Yan, two siblings, come to the front yard.
Xiao Yan, who has been with this group of boys, has also grown up. At the age of fifteen, she is slim, and her round face is still very cute, which makes people want to pinch it.
But today, there was a lot more sadness on that round face.
"Beichen, I'll go where you go, I want to go with you. Xiao Yan's voice was still as soft as a marshmallow. The childishness that mingles with the voice never seems to have diminished.
"Xiaoyan, I'm not going to play. When I'm done, I'll come back to you. A smile flashed across Lu Beichen's face, which made Xiao Yan a little uncomfortable, and he didn't know what to say.
"Otherwise, how about I come back from the Holy Capital and bring my favorite granite with me?"
"How do you know what my favorite granite is. ”
"Of course I know, we grew up together, how could I not know what you like. Although Lu Beichen's tone was a little coaxing, he was indeed grateful to this little sister who was a few months younger than him from the bottom of his heart. If it weren't for her, maybe life in the academy wouldn't have been so easy.
Over the years, there have always been some people in the academy looking for trouble from time to time, and Xiao Yan will come forward. I don't know if it's because she's the master's daughter, or because she really has a lot of charm and can gag those people's mouths without much effort.
When Lu Beichen was studying in the academy, Xiao Yan would sit quietly next to him, so that in many of his memories of reading, there was this little girl.
It's just that he doesn't know that when he is immersed in the world of the book, Xiao Yan's gaze always unconsciously stays on him.
Xiao Yan was silent for a long time, biting his lip before he said quietly, "The holy capital is very big, and there are many people." If you go, you will definitely forget me, hum ......" After speaking, she left the room angrily, as if she didn't want to watch Lu Beichen leave.
Gu Yin looked at his sister and smiled, "Leave her alone, I guess she is reluctant to you, I will persuade her." ”
"I will be back as soon as possible. ”
"Okay, I'm not Xiaoyan. When you were young, you wanted to go down the mountain, but now that you finally have the opportunity, you should be happy. You kid is so smart, I Gu Yin supports any decision you make, I believe in you, even if anything happens, you will not die. ”
"Okay, in order to comfort me, you can even say such a lie. Lu Beichen said with a smile.
"What a lie, this is true. There's been no news from that guy since he came down the mountain, and I'm telling you, you're not allowed to learn from him. Play and play, you still have to remember us. ”
"That's natural. Lu Beichen slapped Gu Yin's shoulder with his fist, conveying a tacit understanding between brothers.
"Maybe when you go down the mountain this time, you can still see Senior Brother Qiu Li. ”
"The Holy Capital is a prosperous place, maybe that kid is already lost there. Growing up, he was a Taoist idiot, and it's no wonder he doesn't remember us. ”
"You and Xiao Yan have both been to the Holy Capital, what kind of place is it? I have read in the book, it seems to be a prosperous place with outstanding people. Lu Beichen asked curiously.
"I've been, but it's not really fun. There, there are more of a group of cultivation monsters. To be honest, I still love it here. Gu Yin likes to make noise on weekdays, but he doesn't seem to have a good impression of the bustling city.
"Oh, I see. Lu Beichen knew what to expect, so he didn't ask.
When he grew up, the teenager preferred a chic parting, so the two collided with their fists again, and they didn't say too many pretentious words.
At this time, Mr. Qiu Shan slowly walked out of the house with a sword in hand.
"This one is holding self-defense. ”
Lu Beichen took the sword from Mr. Qiu Shan's hand, looked at it several times, and couldn't help but be silent.
He recognized the sword.
This was one of his ten swords that he had chosen from his master many years ago.
There is nothing special about this sword, and it is even the most ordinary-looking among the ten swords.
But it is precisely because of the ordinariness that he has won his heart.
The master said that this is the Sun and Moon Sword, which is born of the aura of heaven and earth, and is used by those who know the sword.
Many years ago, Lu Beichen walked past the ten swords, and when he stopped in front of the Sun and Moon Sword, the master praised him for his good eyesight.
Because this is a good sword, the sword aura is calm and unassuming, and it seems to be ordinary, but it actually contains great spiritual power, and it is easy to read through people's hearts. If you can resonate with it, it means that you have a fate with it, and you have picked up a big bargain.
At that time, Lu Beichen was only four or five years old, and he didn't understand much what the master said. For him, choosing a sword doesn't require talent, no realm, just some unexplainable feelings.
It's strange to say, he can't even hold the other nine swords, but this is normal, after all, he was not big at that time, and the strength that his arms could withstand was naturally limited. Each of those swords was forged from the finest iron, and ordinary people could not wield it even if they could pick it up, unless they had been practicing for some time and had a certain degree of familiarity with the way of the sword.
But the strange thing is that at the age of five, he didn't practice, but he was able to easily pick up this Sun and Moon Sword and play two rounds neatly, which surprised Qiu Shan.
Moreover, it was also the first time he had actually observed a sword, and it was the only sword that he could handle among the ten swords.
However, when the master asked him to choose a sword, he didn't give him the sword after choosing, but now he takes it out. Lu Beichen was a little complicated in his heart, if he wasn't very worried, how could the master be willing to take out his sword for himself?
"This sword will be your saber from now on. ”
"What?" Lu Beichen raised his head and was very surprised.
"How can this be, this is Master's favorite sword. ”
"Master's favorite thing is not the sword. Qiu Shan said calmly, "The road is dangerous, take care of yourself." ”
Lu Beichen didn't speak, his mood was still very complicated, especially when he saw the white hair on Qiu Shan's temples and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. Why is it that Master's gray hair is so much more, and how can the wrinkles on the corners of his eyes be so deep? When will I see Master after I go down the mountain this time? When I come back to see Master, will Master be a little older than today?
Thinking of this, Lu Beichen was unconsciously silent, but fortunately no one noticed the tears rolling in the corners of his eyes, as well as the reluctance hidden in his heart.
Qiu Shan saw that he didn't speak, but there was never a trace of parting sorrow on his face, but an absolute calm. He still has a burden in his hand, which is still prepared for Lu Beichen.
"Except for the Sun and Moon Sword, bring this. If anything doesn't go your way down the mountain, take a look at what I've prepared for you. Qiu Shan handed Lu Beichen a burden and left without looking back.
"Master!"
"Take care!"
The shouts were bursts of reluctance. Looking at Qiu Shan's departing back, Lu Beichen stood up in his posture and bowed deeply.
The back gradually blurred, and the sadness gradually came to my heart.
Gu Yin comforted him a few words, and asked him to leave quickly, otherwise he would not be able to go down the mountain.
So, Lu Beichen picked up the two burdens, picked up the Sun and Moon Sword, and slowly walked down the mountain.
This child, who has never left home, found himself so attached to the mountain on the day he went down the mountain alone. Perhaps in the near future, he will miss the land where he was born and raised, the time when he studied at the academy, and the nights when he shouted at the stars on the lawn.
But no matter what, Sun Moon Mountain, it's time to see you again.
