Chapter 12: Tombstones

Tianchuan Mountain, the mountain behind Qiushuitang.

A few rays of slanting sun sprinkled down, dotted on the tombstone through bursts of bamboo waves, shining and jumping, but it was a little less deserted.

A stele, a sword, I can't imagine that more than two hundred years have passed.

Lingmo stood alone in front of the tombstone, silent for a long time.

After a while, a white light flashed in the forest, and a shadow fell a little away, and the man walked up to Lingmo and called softly: "Master?"

Lingmo woke up like a dream, and the thoughts that rippled in the distance with the wind suddenly pulled back, she turned around and said, "Fan'er, are you here?"

Shen Fan replied, "Yes." Master, how did you get here?"

The bamboo branches are swaying, and there is a burst of elegant fragrance, as if all things in heaven and earth are inferior to this pure land.

She didn't answer, but said, "Fan'er, tomorrow I have to go down the mountain for the teacher, and if there is anything in the hall, you will be in charge." ”

Shen Fan was a little stunned, the master never went down the mountain easily, and besides, the eight classes of the test method were imminent, and it seemed a little unreasonable to go down the mountain at this time.

Although he was puzzled in his heart, he didn't dare to ask: "Yes, the disciple obeys." ”

Lingmo nodded, turned away, and didn't tell her to leave. Shen Fan followed his gaze and saw the stele, which was engraved with the words "Tomb of the Beloved Disciple Yang Ruowei".

She knew a little bit about this tombstone. The tombstone was erected by the previous master of Qiushui Hall, that is, his own ancestor Sighing Master. And this Yang Ruowei is her beloved apprentice, that is, the same junior sister of her master Lingmo, and she should also be called "uncle" according to her generation.

It is said that this Uncle Yang is proud of his talents, and he is already a leader among his peers at a young age, and the master sighs that the master is even more imparted the divine sword "Summoning Snow" to her, and then the Tao has made rapid progress, surpassing the master and other senior brothers and sisters who entered the hall first. Speaking of appearance, it is rumored that it is like a fairy descending to earth, and it has the color of captivating the country and the city. It can be said that it was a dazzling morning star of the Tianchuan faction at that time. Later, in a righteous and demonic war, the jade died in the Yunhao platform of the Chengling Hall, and was buried here by the ancestor of the sighing master.

"Your Uncle Yang's parents died when he was a child, and he was only an eight- or nine-year-old child when he was sent to Qiushui Hall. The place she wants to be buried most should be Yangjingtang, but your ancestor buried her here in the end. It's like this, and I, as a senior sister, don't come to see her often. At the end of the words, Lingmo sighed slightly.

Seeing that his master was so emotional, Shen Fan stood aside and asked, "Master, Uncle Yang belongs to the Qiushui Hall lineage and should be buried in the Qiushui Hall, why did the master say that she wants to be buried in the Yangjing Hall?"

"Don't you know, back then, your Uncle Yang and one of your uncles in Yangjingtang fell in love, if it weren't for that battle between the righteous and demons, the two would have been married a long time ago, but now they are sleeping here. Lingmo seemed to remember the past again, and his expression was a little gloomy.

"The love in this world is really best not to know each other, so you don't want to think about it. Shen Fan couldn't help but feel sorry when he heard this, and muttered to himself.

The sunlight is blown by the mountain wind through the shadows of the bamboo array, and the flowers and plants under the feet change back and forth from time to time. This master and apprentice stood in front of the tomb for a long time before leaving.

Early the next morning, Shi Xin and Yuqing said goodbye to Yun Yingxue and left Nalangya Village together. The Langya Mountain stands upright, and the forests on the mountain are very clear. There are a few secluded streams that go down the trend, polishing the nearby stones exquisitely smooth, and forming a natural water pool after retreating.

At this time, look at the smoke of Langya Village, take advantage of the momentum of Fushan, and get the source of clear water, nurture and grow, it looks extremely simple and peaceful, as if it is a peach blossom source.

He took a deep breath, although the remaining poison on his body was not cleared, he was still relieved to see this mountain and flowing water. At this time, Yu Qing sacrificed the magic weapon Yin Shilian in his side hand, and called Shi Xin lightly: "Senior Brother Shi, it's not early, let's go." “

Shi Xin nodded, because he broke the Sheyun Sword and had injuries on his body, it was no longer feasible to resist the sword alone, so he could only share the lotus throne with Yuqing.

I saw that after a while, the two of them turned into a pale green light and swept into the sky together with the magic weapon under their feet, and disappeared in place.

The morning light is shining, the breeze is blowing, and the clear blue sky is endless.

Yu Qing was worried about Shi Xin's injury, and he didn't dare to delay along the way, and urged the magic weapon under his feet to shuttle through the sea of clouds with all his might.

It was not until the sunset in the west that it was decided to stay overnight.

It was twilight, and the earth was a golden color, so I chose a forest and fell near the lake. It's just that I didn't expect this move to startle the birds in the forest and flee in all directions.

Shi Xin was already dizzy from hunger, seeing this scene, he must have been afraid that there was game to be found in the forest, and his weak body suddenly came to his senses.

It's just that the heavens didn't fulfill people's wishes, and after searching for a long time, I finally met a hare, chased it a few times, and finally let it run.

Shi Xin was extremely angry, he was just injured, and he held the tree with one hand and panted: "I can't think of it...... This...... In these days, even brutes have ...... It's all a little bit of a way. ”

Yu Qing walked out of the forest at this time and said with a smile: "Everything has life and spirituality, Senior Brother Shi should eat these wild fruits." I saw that there were many red and green fruits in the monk's robe he was holding in his hand, of different sizes, and some of them had branches and leaves, presumably they had just gone to the forest to pick them and returned.

Night is approaching, the moon is shining, a bonfire lights up the lake, and the surrounding area is composed by summer insects.

Shi Xin wiped the two wild fruits on his clothes, handed one to Qingqing, and then stuffed the other into his mouth. Unexpectedly, this wild fruit is not big, but it is sweet and juicy, quenching thirst and hunger. While eating, he suddenly remembered something, looked up and asked Yuqing: "By the way, Senior Brother Yuqing, you said that the bamboo rainforest is located near the Fengqing Gate of the Demon Sect, can you tell me about this Fengqingmen?"

The fire in front of him was burning dry and crackling, and he only heard the words of wanting to be clear: "The Fengqingmen faction is secretive, originally it was not a demon sect, but a neutral, but it suddenly defected more than two hundred years ago, and the Demon Sect Blood Soul Sect, Infatuation Valley, and Absolute Heart Hall were in close contact, and the method practiced was also very different from before, becoming cruel and vicious, if we meet this time, there is a formula you need to be careful, this style is 'soul magic'." ”

"Spiritualism?" Shi Xin said in surprise.

Xiangqing added a few dry branches to the fire, nodded and said: "Yes, this soul dementorship, as the name suggests, can capture people's hearts and drive their bodies, but it is a side door, and it has been lost for a long time, but I didn't expect it to appear in Fengqingmen in the end." I heard my master say that in the battle of the righteous demons, Fengqingmen took the lead in using the 'soul dementorship', took the souls of some innocent people, turned them into puppets to resist, and attacked all the way to Tianzha Mountain. ”

If you want to clear the words and sentences, it is short, but Shi Xin has already sketched the scene of the war in his mind, and these juniors, the predecessors don't talk about it, and the descendants naturally don't know. At this time, listening to the words, I felt a little like a world away.

He smiled bitterly and said, "I hope I don't want to burden Senior Brother Yuqing this time." ”

Yu Qinglian said: "Senior Brother Shi has seen the outside, and the monks are compassionate, and it has nothing to do with it, just a few more days of practice." ”

The lake reflected the moonlight, slightly rippling, and the fire gradually became smaller.

Looking at the night sky, Shi Xin was a little discouraged, and he didn't know if the trip would go well. I originally went down the mountain to cultivate, looking for the magic weapon, but now the magic weapon has not been found, not to mention that the Sheyun Sword is broken, and he is still with a huge poison in his body.

Desire Qing on one side seemed to see through his worries, and comforted: "Senior Brother Shi don't have to worry, I see that Yun girl has a strange art, as long as she finds the colorful grass, she will definitely be able to save you." ”

This sentence of wanting to clear reminded Shi Xin, and he asked: "I heard my master say that although the Sheyun Sword is the entry magic weapon of my Tianchuan Sect, it is not something that anyone can drive, that day Miss Yun borrowed my fairy sword, I wanted to remind her, but I didn't expect her to directly become one with the Sheyun Sword and rushed towards the Nine Infants, why is this?"

Yu Qing smiled slightly: "I was also surprised at that time, not only that, judging from the three off-string arrows she shot earlier, her Taoism is afraid that she is already above you and me." If it weren't for those arrows that messed up the nine infants, we would not be able to get rid of the ancient demon beasts. I didn't expect that in that remote village, there was such a strange hidden woman. "It's amazing again and again.

Shi Xin was dumbfounded when he heard this. That Yun Yingxue looks like she is no more than twenty years old, and she can't imagine that she has such a profound Taoism, and she is a famous teacher, but she is absolutely unattainable, which is really surprising.

It was late at night, and there was silence in the forest. Xiangqing leaned against a tree and meditated with his eyes closed, but Shixin couldn't sleep, as if he had something on his mind.

He rested his left hand behind his head, and his eyes were open like brass bells to the sky.

I saw that in the unreachable night sky, there were a few starlight flickering and flickering, which actually decorated the night sky so gloomy.

He didn't know how long it had been since he watched it quietly, but he felt that the back of his hand that had been bitten by the blood spider began to itch faintly in a trance, and then he fell asleep groggily.
