Chapter 276: If Life Is Only as First Seen
The cold wind slammed open the window of the fairy tower, the lamp went out in a shake, and outside the jade bed with the golden yarn hanging down, the curtains undulated, like countless ghosts singing and dancing.
Gong Yu's white robe was filled with the wind, blowing like a cloud, she took half a step back, and was almost blown down on the couch by the wind.
Chu Miao looked back and looked at the open window - Gong Yu is the owner of the Xianlou, and the wind and rain and snow of the Xianlou are born according to her heart.
This cold wind was blown in her heart, but she seemed so weak that she couldn't help it.
"You...... What are you talking about? Gong Yu asked in a trembling voice.
"I said, your master is still alive." Chu Miao spoke calmly and smiled.
"Impossible!" Gong Yu blurted out.
"Why can't it be?"
Chu Miao smiled lightly, she turned around, closed the window first, and then walked to the side of the bed while taking off her hair, sat down unhurriedly with her skirt, patted the brocade quilt, and said, "Xiaoyu, come and sit here." ”
Gong Yu couldn't remember how long it had been since no one called her Xiaoyu, and for a while she felt a little unfamiliar, as if Xiaoyu was not her name.
"If you have something to say, don't drag the mud and water, if you just make fun of me with this, then when I get better, you'd better avoid the limelight in Chu State for a few years, don't let me get caught."
Gong Yu said lightly, she sat down next to Chu Miao, and casually pulled the fox robe as a cushion, covering it on the snow-white jade legs, and the jade fingers were tightened.
"That's good." Chu Miao was not afraid at all, and said seriously: "Then let's make a bet, if your master is still alive, I will win, if your master is dead, then you will win, how about it?" ”
"What the hell do you mean?"
"It's not interesting, I just want to take advantage of you, what's the matter, your master's news is not as good as a small bet?"
"What are you going to bet on?"
"I only have one condition, if I win, you are not allowed to rob people with Yingchan in the future, okay?" Chu Miao sighed softly.
"What did you say?" Gong Yu's expression was grim, and he said coldly: "Lin Shouxi is my apprentice grandson, we behave appropriately and decently, and I am not your shameless daughter, how can I do such an unethical act?" ”
"What are you doing in such a hurry? Sorry? ”
"You're in a hurry! Fish begins to rot from the head! ”
"Are you scolding yourself?"
"You ......"
The two fairies of more than three hundred years old quarreled and quarreled for a while, Gong Yu's chest rose and fell, and his face became colder, and he thought that Chu Miao must have come to play with herself, but soon, Chu Miao straightened her sitting posture, and her words were no longer joking, like a sharp knife out of the sheath, reaching the center of her eyebrows.
"Gong Yu, have you ever seriously thought about a question: why did you meet your master, and how did you communicate?"
After Chu Miao finished speaking, Gong Yu fell into meditation, of course she thought about this, but she didn't come up with an answer, she originally thought that there was no answer to all this, but ...... Is it your own authorities who are confused?
Without waiting for Gong Yu to answer, Chu Miao continued to ask a question: "You can communicate with your master, relying on Zhan Palace, and what kind of sword does your master rely on to communicate with you?" ”
Gong Yu was silent.
As a child, she was also curious about this, but before she could ask her master, disaster came to her. Later, she felt that the master should also have a sword corresponding to the Zhan Palace, but she had been looking for many years without a clue, and although the death certificate of the Demon Gate was spiritual, it could not be connected with the Zhan Palace.
"In the legend of the Gong family, when the time and space demon god arrived, a certain black-clothed goddess descended from the sky, borrowed the ancestral sword of the palace family, cut the time and space demon god into three with two swords, and returned the sword of the god to the ancestors, and from then on, the sword has divinity, and it will not be sheathed again, right?" Chu Miao continued to ask.
Gong Yu nodded lightly, at this moment, she suddenly felt that Chu Miao didn't seem to be joking, she really had something to say to her, and her back couldn't help but straighten a little.
"Well, my mother said that the time and space demon god was cut into three sections, which correspond to the past, present, and future, and the three scales of the time and space demon god were broken one after another, and its huge body also collapsed, and it died." Gong Yu said.
"Then have you ever wondered why Zhan Gong couldn't be unsheathed in the first place?" Chu Miao asked.
"The sword is held by the gods, and it has the pride of the gods, how can it be used as a weapon of mortals?" Gong Yu said.
"No, I don't think that's necessarily the case!" Chu Miao cut the railway.
"What?"
"The sword slashed the demon god of time and space, and it was also contaminated with the different laws of the past, present, and future, although the sword at that time was in front of you, it may not be in the same time and space, so even if it is a strong person in the realm of people and gods, if it does not have a grasp of the law of time, it is impossible to unify its past, present, and future, and it will never be able to unify its time and space, and it will never be able to be pulled out!" Chu Miao said her reasoning seriously.
Gong Yu's eyes lit up, and she had a faint sense of enlightenment, but she quickly shook her head again and said, "But I was still young when I pulled it out, not to mention the law of time, I didn't even start practicing for long at that time." ”
"But you unify it, you unify it unintentionally!" Chu Miao became more and more determined.
"What the hell do you mean?" Gong Yu asked.
"There is only one sword that can really penetrate the Zhan Palace, and that is the Zhan Palace itself!" Chu Miao's voice suddenly raised: "Gong Yu, have you ever thought that the person you hooked up with the Zhan Gong Sword at that time was not in the era of unification with you, he was likely to come from the future, from the future hundreds of years ago!" Your Master can see you, and you can't see Him, and that's why! ”
Gong Yu's pupils shrank, and he finally realized something.
"Do you know why you named it Cham Palace?" Chu Miao continued to ask.
"Because ......"
Because the master's sword is called Zhan Gong, she also named this sword Zhan Gong in honor of her master...... Could it be, does it say......
"Because this sword is called Zhan Palace!"
Chu Miao got up directly, and she said: "You hooked up with your future master in the past, and your master hooked up with the past you in the present, and the moment you named it Zhan Palace, the three time and space finally reached a unity between you and him, so you can pull it out, pull it out like an ordinary sword!" ”
"Zhan Gong doesn't want to be trapped in a fractured space-time, it wants to unify itself, so it sent out a cry for help, and you responded to it."
……
Gong Yu sat in place, as if he had been electrocuted.
Chu Miao's guess is most likely correct.
For so many years, Zhan Gong has always been a well-behaved and docile sword, very spiritual, unlike a death certificate, when the owner is just changed, he will lose his temper, how can such a sword be proud and lonely for hundreds of years, and he is unwilling to show a little edge from the sheath?
It couldn't get out of its sheath because it was trapped in a rift in time, which was the pollution of the Temporal Demon God, and it wanted to break free from it......
Thus, the relationship between master and apprentice began.
"If that's the case, then what about my master, where is he now?" Gong Yu looked in a trance.
Chu Miao didn't answer, just looked at her quietly and asked, "Do you really not understand, or don't want to admit it?" ”
Gong Yu also quieted down.
She closed her eyes, and her whole body trembled.
At this moment, the world became extremely quiet, she could hear her heartbeat, she could hear her pulse, she could hear the blood flowing in her body, she could hear the tips of her hair and clothes, and her own heart was deafening.
There is no other answer......
Chu Miao said that there is only one sword that can penetrate the Zhan Palace, and that is itself.
Zhan Palace has always been in the hands of Lin Shouxi.
Lin Shouxi......
When she was in the Three Realms Village, she felt that Lin Shouxi's figure was very similar to her master, her voice and tone and way of speaking were very similar to her master, and when a person was so similar to her master, he was likely to be her master.
So she thought that Lin Shouxi was the reincarnation of her master.
But......
It turns out that there is no reincarnation.
It turns out that he has always been my master.
Gong Yu sat stupidly, and slowly, she retracted her slender jade legs back onto the couch, and even stepped back a little, moved to the corner of the bed, wrapped her arms, and hugged her knees, like a little girl who had been wronged.
"No, that's not right!" Gong Yu shook his head lightly and said, "I met Master three hundred years ago...... How can the future affect the present, and how can he meet the past me now, this, this is simply impossible! How can such a space-time be constructed? ”
"Nothing is impossible." Chu Miao said: "You should have heard a story, there are two old peasants in the field imagining the emperor's extravagant life, one said, I think the emperor must eat all-you-can-eat white bread every day, and the other said, not only that, I think, the emperor must use a gold hoe to go to the ground." ”
Speaking of this, Chu Miao couldn't help laughing, and she continued: "Many people believe that there is a master in this world, who is above all beings, omniscient and omnipotent, and creates everything. So some people refuted, saying that this master in your mouth can create a stronger existence than it, if so, then this master is no longer a strong man who is above everything, if not, why dare you call yourself omniscient and omnipotent? Many people will be frightened by such statements, but when you think about it, what is the difference between this kind of mortal imagination of God and the golden hoe of a farmer in the field thinking of the emperor? ”
"Even if we reach the realm of human gods, we are still narrow and limited, and we can only see another kind of arrogant narrowness when we look at the infinite gods in the narrow, and you can't understand how God can create a stronger existence than Him, and you can't understand why such an absurd time and space can exist, but He can do it, that is, it can exist, we ...... Inability to understand God. ”
Speaking of this, the smile on Chu Miao's face also faded, and was replaced by a kind of loss.
Gong Yu hugged his knees and shrunk in the corner, pulled the quilt, hugged gently, and was silent for a long time.
Chu Miao was also silent for a long time.
After a while, Chu Miao finally took the initiative to speak:
"I won this bet, right?"
"Nope." Gong Yu bit his lip and said, "In the final analysis, this is just your guess, what evidence do you have?" ”
Speaking of this, Chu Miaofu smiled again, she took off her shoes and socks, also went to bed, crawled to Gong Yu's side with her hands and feet, rubbed her hair, and said: "Xiaoyu, I usually see that you are smart and have a city, how come you become so stupid as soon as you meet your master, I am really worried about you more and more......"
"What do you mean?" Gong Yu frowned.
Chu Miao's tone reminded her of Gong Ying, the mother who didn't know where she was now.
"Lin Shouxi has an apprentice named Xiaoyu, Xiao He knows about this, Yingchan knows, Mu Shijing knows, and I know too...... Guess who this little language could be? Chu Miao stretched out her finger and hit Gong Yu's eyebrows.
Gong Yu seemed to have been immobilized, and he didn't move, and he asked in a daze for a long time:
"Why...... I do not know? ”
Chu Miao also wanted to know why.
They have been together for so long, but if anyone leaks a little bit, the truth will be revealed, but they didn't say anything.
What a pair of fools......
Gong Yu had no reason to doubt it anymore, she raised her hand stupidly, touched her cheek, and her fingertips were slightly wet. She found herself crying, and she burst into tears.
Chu Miao wanted to laugh at a few words, but the words became relieved when they came to her lips, she wiped her tears with her sleeve, and then gently hugged her.
"Then I...... What now? ”
Gong Yu buried it in her shoulder and asked softly.
Countless moments with Lin Shouxi flashed through his mind.
In the past, she thought that Lin Shouxi was the reincarnation of her master, and the reason why she didn't tell him was because she was afraid...... She is his ancestor, her apprentice Chu Yingchan is his master and lover, and he is his master...... This intricate relationship shatters generations and ethics.
She is not ready to face it, she just wants to silently guard his growth.
But......
But he's not reincarnated, so how should she deal with it?
She couldn't imagine what it would be like if she told the truth.
"Why don't I go and arrest Lin Shouxi, and you can talk?" Chu Miao asked with a smile.
"Don't go!"
Gong Yu grabbed her wrist, she didn't know what she was afraid of, but she subconsciously wanted to refuse.
Such a reaction was expected by Chu Miao.
Chu Miao gently rubbed Gong Yu's hair, smiled and said, "It's more than three hundred years old, and I'm still crying like this, like a child." ”
"Didn't you cry so hard when you were looking for your daughter before, don't let me know it." Gong Yu opened his mouth faintly and curled his body tighter.
"I ......"
Chu Miao was speechless, and only said stubbornly: "You are just a child, you have grown up, but there is always a part of you who stays before the age of seven, that you are imprisoned by pain, despair, regret, and sadness, and there is no way to grow up, Xiaoyu, you need to come out." ”
"How do you get out?" She asked.
As soon as the question came out, Gong Yu already had the answer in his heart.
……
……
Xiao He was lying on the bed, her delicate legs swinging leisurely, and she was flipping through the Shenshan Mansion newspaper in her hand, and she was reading it with relish.
After she finished reading the list of goddesses and weapons, she overturned the column of the Divine Guardian Mountain, and saw that the Divine Guardian Mountain was conducting a competition called Snow Field Dao today, which has a long history and will be held every winter, not only the monks of the Divine Guardian Mountain, but also other well-known disciples will be invited to go.
She wanted to encourage Lin Shouxi to participate, and then watched him fight, but when she looked up, she found Lin Shouxi standing by the window with a worried face.
"What's wrong with you, sullen." Xiao He asked.
"The snow here is a reflection of the ancestor's state of mind, today's wind and snow abuse is extremely unusual, I am afraid that something will happen to the ancestor." Lin Shouxi said worriedly.
Xiao He nodded lightly, also showing a worried look.
Tonight's snow is indeed capricious.
"Master Shizun has Queen Chu to take care of him, so there shouldn't be anything wrong." Xiao He said with relief.
Lin Shouxi snorted.
He stood by the window and watched for a long time.
It wasn't until the middle of the night that the snow finally eased.
He was relieved.
Since the ancestor is fine, why didn't Chu Miao come to him, and what is the news about Xiaoyu?
Lin Shouxi's hanging heart couldn't fall.
"Are you still thinking about your little apprentice?" Xiao He noticed the abnormality of his mood and asked.
"I'm a little worried about her." Lin Shouxi said.
"What are you worried about?" Xiao He said lightly: "According to what you said, you live in a deep mansion compound every day, with the love of your parents and the protection of guards, I see, the only thing you need to worry about is that she hasn't seen her for a year, and she has forgotten about you a long time ago." ”
"Xiaoyu won't forget me." Lin Shouxi said with certainty.
Xiao He was not moved by their master-apprentice relationship.
She immediately thought of the word grabbing game that Su Xiying said, but she was not angry, and she felt that Lin Shouxi was not as good as the beast.
Lin Shouxi closed the window and was about to go to bed when Xiao He kicked him down directly.
"No bed!" Xiao He said coldly.
"Why?" Lin Shouxi didn't know where he had done something wrong again.
"There's no why, if you don't want it, you don't want it!" Xiao He made a small face, directly grabbed the Shenshan Mansion newspaper and smashed it.
Lin Shouxi caught the newspaper, felt even more innocent, and asked, "Xiao He, are you eating Xiaoyu's vinegar?" ”
"Nope!" Although Xiao He only spoke, he was a little weak-hearted, and the roots of his ears were red.
"Xiao He, don't think about it, Xiao Yu is only seven years old, even if I ...... again" Lin Shouxi said as he went to put his arm around her shoulder, trying to make Xiao He happy.
"You know she's only seven years old!" Xiao He was even more annoyed.
Lin Shouxi was stunned, he didn't understand why Xiao He was like this.
I didn't do anything unreasonable to Xiaoyu...... Lin Shouxi thought to himself.
"So where do I sleep tonight?" Lin Shouxi asked.
"Sleep on your own bed." Xiao He pointed to the ground, then to the cabinet, and motioned for him to go and get the blanket himself.
Lin Shouxi did not follow.
"Why are you still stunned?" Xiao He urged.
Lin Shouxi threw himself directly and forcefully on the bed.
"You, what are you doing......" Xiao He Jiao shouted.
"What do you say I'm doing?" Lin Shouxi asked rhetorically.
On the bed, the pair of young girls fought again, the bed was shaken, the smoke and dust under the bed were rising, the two took the pillow as a sword, beat each other, and fought in full swing, before they could tell the winner, the bed could not bear it first, and collapsed.
The two sat reclining in the ruins of the bed, looked at each other, and began to blame each other for who had collapsed the bed.
His face was red, his long hair was disheveled, and his clothes were disheveled.
Early in the morning, when Chu Miao entered the house, the couple was still fighting, Chu Miao glanced at the collapsed bed, showed a meaningful smile, and said, 'You young people are really fierce', and hurriedly closed the door.
"Hey, no, it's not what you think!" Xiao He got up and chased out to explain.
"What's the shyness of doing such a thing between a husband and a wife? Don't worry, I'm not a chick like your master, how can I not understand? Chu Miao looked at Xiao He's face that was eager to justify, smiled softly, and didn't give her a chance to speak, and closed the door directly.
Xiao He turned around, looked at Lin Shouxi, and asked, "Why don't you help explain a few sentences." ”
"What's the explanation for this, it's only a matter of time before the cave room spends a candle night." Lin Shouxi said.
"This, this is different!" Xiao He couldn't tell the difference, but he was very angry, like an angry little white lion.
"It's all your fault!" Xiao He said quietly.
"Blame me for what? Aren't you guilty too? Lin Shouxi said innocently.
"It's your fault anyway!"
"Don't be vexatious."
"Who is making trouble?"
Early in the morning, the two scuffled again.
After the fight, the two looked at the messy house, and began to discuss who would clean up, and discussed, and the two faintly had the desire to do it, and at this time, the door opened behind them.
Gong Yu stood at the door, dressed in a snow fur, Tingting Yu, with an indifferent expression.
"What are you doing?" Gong Yu asked coldly.
Lin Shouxi and Xiao He didn't dare to make a mistake, so they started cleaning the house together.
After cleaning the house, the two came to Gong Yu and waited for the lecture of Master Shizun.
Gong Yu didn't know if she was tired, and she didn't say much, she looked at Lin Shouxi, and asked calmly: "I heard that my apprentice grandson also accepted a little apprentice?" ”
"Hmm."
Lin Shouxi nodded, admitted calmly, and said, "My apprentice is called Xiaoyu, and she is a very cute little girl. ”
"Really?" Gong Yu nodded lightly and asked, "Then why haven't you ever talked to your teacher?" ”
"Eh, Master...... I haven't asked either. Lin Shouxi said innocently.
After saying this, he felt that Shizu seemed to be a little angry, but he didn't know what she was angry about.
In short, today's palace language is extremely indifferent.
After resuming his cultivation, the side of the master of the Daomen Mansion seemed to be haunted by a layer of cold fog like a fence, and Lin Shouxi felt that the fairy who begged for drinking, teased him, went crazy with him, and was punished by him and begged for mercy...... The distance between them has widened again.
"Then when I saw Xiaoyu, remember to say hello to her on my behalf." Gong Yu said.
"Won't the master go with you?" Lin Shouxi said: "Chu Chu and Miss Mu miss you very much. ”
"A bunch of scoundrels, what's there to see? I went back upstairs and rested. Gong Yu said lightly and turned to leave.
The wind and snow blew down, and in the snow scene, Gong Yu's back was arrogant and his waist was slender.
……
"After you asked me to find your apprentice last time, I have always been very concerned about this matter, and the hard work paid off, I helped you find her."
On the way to Shenshou Mountain, Chu Miao said to Lin Shouxi.
When Lin Shouxi heard this, his hanging heart finally fell.
"Thank you, Queen." Lin Shouxi said sincerely.
"Huh? The Queen? Chu Miao smiled lightly.
"Ah...... Mother-in-law. Lin Shouxi came back to his senses and quickly changed his words.
"Good." Chu Miao smiled and said, "Take good care of my daughter, she looks soft, but she is actually very hard, if you dare to make her angry back to her parents' house, your mother-in-law will not be able to spare you." ”
"I ...... I know. Lin Shouxi was a little embarrassed, he lowered his head and nodded lightly.
Xiao He wasn't listening to them, she thought about Xiao Yu, and was even more curious about what kind of little goblin this was......
Yes, the little girl's education should start from an early age, and when the time comes, I must teach her well, and I must not let Xiaoyu become a big vixen like Chu Yingchan!
Thinking of this, Xiao He strengthened his determination.
With Chu Miao's help, they arrived near the Divine Guard Mountain in just two days of travel.
didn't go up the mountain immediately, Chu Miao led Lin Shouxi to see Xiaoyu first.
hasn't seen the cute apprentice for a year, and Lin Shouxi can't help but get nervous.
After going around, Chu Miao led him to a spacious long street, at the end of the street there was a magnificent mansion, at a glance, you could see two conspicuous high-rise buildings in the mansion, one of which was the small sword tower.
Chu Miao had already greeted her and said that she was going to bring guests, so when she came, the guards didn't have any different colors, just saluted respectfully.
Chu Miao walked into the door, stopped, turned around, and saw Lin Shouxi stop and hesitate outside the door.
"What's wrong? Scared of homesickness? Xiao He puffed out his cheeks and asked unhappily.
"I ...... I think it's a little weird. ”
"What's weird?"
"I can't tell." Lin Shouxi shook his head.
"Hmph, drag the mud and water, go, go with me to see our apprentice!" Xiao He said disdainfully, she directly grabbed Lin Shouxi's hand and pulled him to this deep mansion compound.
There was snow in the sky.
The maids came and went in the palace courtyard.
Lin Shouxi walked forward with his senses.
In front of a wide sword field, Lin Shouxi stopped, he looked at the sword field, at this moment, a group of disciples were lining up on the sword field to practice swords.
The plan of the day lies in the morning, and the disciples are not afraid of the cold, and they all practice seriously.
"Whispering ......"
Lin Shouxi spoke.
His voice was obviously very soft, but I don't know if it was because of his heart, and in the crowd, a girl suddenly turned her head and looked in his direction.
The girl looks like she is seven or eight years old, with shawl hair, she is wearing a beautiful skirt, because of the cold, there is also a red cotton dress outside, the cotton clothes are very long, knee-length, she is wrapped like this, she looks more petite and cute, she opens her watery eyes, and looks at the person stupidly, as if she is recognizing something.
In the wind and snow, Lin Shouxi looked at her, the cold wind was cold, and no one felt cold.
Long.
"Master, Master......"
The girl murmured softly, tears streaming down her face.
Bang dang.
The wooden sword falls to the ground.
In the shocked and puzzled eyes of the other disciples, the girl had already put the sword on the ground, her powder-like calves quickly staggered, and ran towards Lin Shouxi, when she was close to the edge of the sword field, the girl was unstable, her feet were staggered, and she fell forward with an exclamation, Lin Shouxi had come to her and calmly held her up.
Xiao Yu's hands were on his shoulders, she raised her head, the handsome and beautiful face of the young man was reflected in her eyes, she looked at it stupidly for a while, hugged the master's neck, and cried aggrievedly.
On the sword field, everyone stopped the swords in their hands and looked at the pair of masters and apprentices who had reunited after a long absence and hugged each other.
The snow kept falling.
It's like the long-lasting cry of whispers on the sword field.
