Chapter 17: Water Moon Cave (3)
"How?" said Zhong Mubai.
"Master, this sword can be embedded so tightly. Su Ran's face was almost red, and he still couldn't pull it out.
Zhong Mubai said: "No need to try. This sword has no fate with you. ”
Su Ranqi said: "How do you say this?"
Zhong Mubai pointed his fingers in all directions: "The light between this rock wall is shining, why don't you take a closer look?"
Hearing this, Su Ran walked to the stone wall on the side, facing the ghostly light, and found that the white light was coming out of the rock crevice. He squinted his eyes and got closer, only to realize that there was a glowing white feather in the crevice. If you want to go to other places, you can hide thousands of feathers.
"Master, it's the feathers that shine here!" Su Ran was surprised, "How can the feathers glow?"
"These feathers are all shed by the master, and their mangs have endured for a long time, hidden in the rocks, and formed their own formation. The sword in this cave doesn't seem to be deeply embedded, but it has the blessing of the master's formation, and if it is not a disciple of chance, it cannot be pulled out. Zhong Mubai said.
Su Ran heard it in a fog. But no matter how strong his martial arts are, no matter how high his cultivation is, how can he lose feathers on his body, and he has become an immortal?
Seeing that he was puzzled, Zhong Mubai smiled faintly and beckoned him to come over: "Come to this still water pool and meet the master." ”
Su Ran was even more stunned, could it be that Shizun was still alive, but he was living in this pool? He really couldn't figure it out, he walked forward a few steps and looked into the pool, but he was so shocked that he forgot to breathe!
"Master, the old man has brought his disciples to see you. Zhong Mubai gave up his hand.
The waterhole is clear, the white light is dotted, floating in the pool water, until the bottom of several zhang deep. When I looked closely, there was a huge white-feathered bird curled up in a ball, lying quietly at the bottom of the pool, motionless, as if it had been dead for a long time, and as if it was sleeping.
Su Ran could see it, and when he looked closely, he found that this flying bird was nine points similar to the previous carving on the bronze door. It was as white as snow, and its wings were like frost, sinking to the bottom of the water, like a piece of ingenious art.
Without waiting for Zhong Mubai to speak, Su Ran couldn't help but clench his hands into fists, his lips trembling: "Meet...... Master. He was completely blown away, and the bird seemed to resonate with him somehow.
"This is the best friend of the ancestor, when he was walking in Beichuan, he happened to find a piece of red in the frost and snow, so he rushed to inspect it, only to find that it was a huge bird. The bird's wings were ruptured and bleeding did not stop, so the ancestor used the medical skills he had learned from traveling all over the world to treat him, and finally stopped the bleeding. Zhong Mubai said.
He added: "This bird has a spirit, as if it could understand human language. The ancestor accompanied him for seven days, chatting day and night, and the birds chirped from time to time, and this person and a bird got along happily. He smiled as he spoke, "These are all written down in detail in the book of the master, and he has a deep affection for the master. ”
Su Ran listened to it with interest, and couldn't help asking: "What happened later? How did this flying bird become a master?"
"The master recorded that on the seventh day, he was a little tired, so he fell asleep in a daze and leaned on the big wings of the master, and in a trance he seemed to hear someone shouting: 'Childe, childe', he woke up in a dream, and found that the soft wings behind him were gone, but it seemed that someone was holding himself. Zhong Mubai said.
The ancestor thought that he had been ambushed, but when he looked back, he found that he was supported by a young woman with long snow-white hair and a plain white feather coat, and the previous bird was gone. Speaking of this, Zhong Mubai smiled faintly, "The ancestor was still a little panicked at that time. ”
Su Ran opened his eyes wide, looked at the birds in the pool, and then looked at the master: "Could it be...... And the bird turned into a woman?"
Zhong Mubai nodded: "The ancestor recorded that although he knew a little bit in his heart, he still asked who the woman was. The woman smiled brightly, saying that she was the injured Feiluan, and now she has turned into a human form, so she doesn't know the child. ”
"Luan?" Su Ran was stunned.
"Not bad. Shizun is Feiluan, she has lived for several lifetimes with the attitude of Feiluan, and finally cultivated to a great accomplishment and was able to transform into a human form. Zhong Mubai said.
"I see. Su Ran was also amazed, looking at the quiet master in the pool, imagining what she looked like in white a hundred years ago, and sighing that everything in this world is really strange.
"What happened later was that the master repaid the favor, and the master said that he didn't have to, but the master had to follow him. The ancestor was helpless, and after thinking about it, it was not boring for someone to be together, and the two walked together in the rivers and lakes. During this period, the ancestor found someone to cast a silver-white long sword, named after Tianluan. Shizun poured some of her soul and true qi into the sword, and said to the master, "If I can't be by your side in the future, if you are in danger, I will awaken the soul in the sword to help you." Having said that, according to the account of the master, he only did it once. ”
Zhong Mubai said with a little emotion: "Later, the ancestor came to the south of the Yangtze River, set up the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and opened up this Shuiyue Cave for the master. Because the master could not maintain his human form all day long, he needed to rest in the living water of the mountain spring, so he had this still water pool. ”
Su Ran could hear it, and suddenly thought of something, so he asked: "But Master, since Master has been with Master for so long, he always has a name, right?
Zhong Mubai said: "You are careful. The master is Beichuan Tianluan, but he is not the only one, and he has no name, so it is not appropriate to be called Luan. The ancestor wanted to think of a good name for her, and when he saw that there was frost and snow all around, he took the word snow. ”
Snow...... What is the snow? Su Ran thought in his heart, as if he was also immersed in the scene, and wanted to give the master a nice name. After thinking about it for a long time, I had to ask, "What is it called?"
"The master said that she lived for several lifetimes, and she was a thousand years old before she was able to become a human. In this way, the master has an idea, and the master has a name. Zhong Mubai said.
"Snow ...... Chitose. Su Ran muttered.
Zhong Mubai nodded.
Su Ran looked at Feiluan in the pool, and said in his heart: Master, it turns out that your name is Xue Qiansui...... It's a nice name.
After watching it for a long time, he suddenly felt a little lost, and Su Ran asked softly: "Master, why did the master keep sleeping here?" Could it be that it is ...... Is it really okay to be dead and soak in this pool?"
"Shizun is a spirit animal, but she just sleeps in her breath, and with my ability, I can't wake her up at all. Zhong Mubai said, "After Xiaoxiang was established, something happened, the master was seriously injured, and the master also hurt his soul. Although everything finally subsided, the master's sleep time became longer and longer, from three days to a week, and then to several months, and finally he did not wake up at all, which has been decades now. Zhong Mubai said.
"But even if Shizun is asleep, I believe that as long as Xiaoxiang encounters a crisis, she will definitely wake up and help. Zhong Mubai sighed.
Su Ran nodded thoughtfully, thinking: Maybe Chitose just lived too long, tired, and had to sleep more. It's like getting old.
"Well, after talking so much, I almost forgot to get down to business. Zhong Mubai woke up like a dream, "You use your true qi and feel these swords with your heart." If the opportunity comes, you will hear the voice of the sword that belongs to you and see its past. At that time, the sword will not refuse you. ”
