Chapter 444: The Last Story
Brilliant star showers disappeared between the snow-capped cliffs, and the morning light erupted from the east, illuminating the entire stretch of majestic mountains. The vast sea of clouds rolled against the mountain wall like a stormy tide, and they shone the cold light of winter, wrapping the tree of the world, forming this magnificent cloud tomb that broke through the sky.
Under the snow cliff of the cloud tomb is the retreat place of Gong Yu.
It was a mansion made of black stone.
Under the cold wave blowing day and night, the mansion is covered with white snow, simple and solemn, and from a distance it looks like a deserted ruin, only ghosts live in it.
The door opened.
"Sometimes, I always feel that what I have experienced is a long dream, a long dream that has been tricked by the gods. We have been separated for 300 years, and we have been reunited after a lot of hardship, and I did not expect that we would be able to last forever from now on, but I never expected that in just one year, we would be separated again, and your life and death would be uncertain, and I would wait for a hundred years."
Gong Yu leaned over and lit a lamp, and the light diffused, shining a hint of glamour on the sleeves of her cloud-like robe. She stood in the lamplight, looking at Lin Shouxi who walked through the door, her autumn eyes were very quiet, without ripples, just like the heart of a cultivator.
"Gathering and parting, waking up in a dream, if everything between us is written into a story and told to others, I am afraid it will only make people feel lonely, and they will not be able to exchange for a single tear." She said.
Lin Shouxi stood at the door, looking at the empty snow garden, imagining Gongyu's hundred years of waiting, and his heart was like a knife.
Without waiting for Lin Shouxi to speak, the immortal invitation who followed behind spoke first, and she said indifferently:
"Aren't you waiting? You are already full of wings, the heavens and the earth are at your own mercy, you have to be grounded here, who is to blame?"
"Sister......
Hatsuru tugged at her sister's clothes.
In the past hundred years, Gong Yu and Xian Yu have often been so-for-tat, although Chu Lu has long been surprised, but tonight, she doesn't want her sister to spoil the scenery.
Gong Yu didn't care, and said lightly: "When I was 100 years old, I was already perfect. The avenue is too short, life is too long, if you don't talk about love, how boring will this life be?"
The biography of the master of the Daomen Tower written by Bai Zhu is still circulating in the sacred mountain, and her monastic story is a legend in the hearts of the world, but in her own mouth, it is only worth the word boring.
"I can be like me, scattered and rebuilt, and in the past hundred years, I have lived a very fulfilling life." Immortal invitation faintly sighed.
"Six hundred years of cultivating the bamboo basket to draw water, and finally recognizing my sister as a teacher, it is indeed fulfilling." Gong Yu said.
"The first six hundred years of my cultivation were for my own cultivation, and this hundred years of cultivation was for the cultivation of the true kingdom, and a person like you who does not have a heart for the common people will not understand."
"I don't participate in the governance of the common people, but I am already a good deed with the common people in my heart."
Gong Yu was quite self-aware of this, and she felt that in addition to cultivating, she might only have some talent in teaching her apprentices.
"Okay, I don't want to quarrel with you today."
She glanced at the fairy invitation and said, "Don't think I don't know, you are talking so much, just to sue me in front of the master, when you lost your Taoism and were brought into my Dao by the first heron, how low your eyebrows were pleasing to the eyes, I was just a little harsh on you, do you hold a grudge like this?"
"You said that this is the inheritance of the master, I didn't believe it before, but today I can verify it..."
"Can you say more than that?"
Gong Yu put her hands behind her, and she looked like a cold and arrogant king in the shadow of the lamp. The immortal invitation also knew the proportions, and did not continue to speak.
The quarrel between the two eased the bitter winter night.
Taking advantage of their quarrel, Chu Lu hurriedly pulled the master aside.
Chu Lu has not yet come out of the shock and joy of meeting, and her hand holding the corner of Master's clothes is shaking.
She kept asking questions, and Lin Shouxi explained to her one by one, when Lu heard that Xiao He's mother was still trapped in the necromantic snowfield, her heart immediately rose again, and her tears also fell, begging the master to bring her back safely, Lin Shouxi agreed while helping her wipe her tears.
"If Master can't bring Master He back, Chu Lu won't have a good-tempered Master."
Chu Lu said sadly, also
specially lowered his voice, for fear that Senior Sister Yu would hear it.
Shu Yu has not changed much from back then.
She is still a girl like an elf and a demon, with silver threads hanging low, a black dress up to her knees, and a pair of pink feet that are as white as snow. Compared with back then, there were a few less fierce colors between her eyebrows, replaced by loneliness.
The more lonely she is, the more she misses Miss.
She didn't have any emotional turmoil about Lin Shouxi's return, but after hearing that Miss was safe, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, and even wanted to pack up her salute overnight and go to Sacred Mountain... As a loyal family member of the young lady, after many years of separation, the young lady must also miss herself very much.
"By the way, Master, you didn't immediately reveal your identity last night, did you want to test me?" Chu Lu asked again.
"Well, I do want to see how the first heron has practiced over the years." Lin Shouxi nodded.
"That's... Is Master still satisfied?" Chu Lu asked tremblingly.
Lin Shouxi looked at the pretty face of the little apprentice, and wanted to say, "Satisfied, but when he recalled Lu Lu's performance last night, these two words were immediately stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say it."
The first heron is also very weak-hearted.
Her realm is rampant in the true country, and with her sister's support, she hasn't practiced seriously for a long time, and when she met her master last night, her flower frame was finally revealed.
"Master, it's the first time I'm here... The first heron, the first heron takes you around. ,
Seeing that the master was embarrassed, Chu Lu immediately grabbed his sleeve and showed him around the mansion they had built together.
The mansion is large and spacious.
Chu Lu took Lin Shouxi to his bedroom first.
The layout of the first heron's bedroom is exactly the same as that of the Great Burning Sect, the low couch, the incense burner, the paper lamp, and the long case are all meticulously set in the original position, as if they have never been alarmed by time, when the light shines in from the window, the pillar of light from the window seems to be able to see Xiao He's slender figure when he kneels.
"What's that?"
Lin Shouxi looked towards the north side of the house.
There is a black table that is posted on the wall, on which are placed a fruit bowl and a bronze incense altar, on which are three incense sticks, and behind the incense is a portrait, on which the black-haired boy and the snow-haired girl are both eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and their voices are like that.
Chu Lu was startled, and hurriedly opened his arms and stood on tiptoe, blocking Lin Shouxi's sight.
"Chu Lu usually prays for the blessings of Master and Master, so—" She explained hesitantly.
"Is this a blessing?"
"yes......"
"Is there such a thing as a real country?"
"Well...... Chu Lu no longer defended, so he had to tell the truth: "Master has not come back for so many years, Chu Lu still thinks that something happened to you, I often burn paper money for Master, I hope you can live more comfortably down there......
"It's been a hard time." Lin Shouxi said movingly.
He didn't think there was anything bad about it, after all, he was an apprentice he had accepted, and his apprenticeship level had always been stable, so no matter what the apprentice did, he wouldn't feel too strange.
Chu Lu hurriedly led him out of the room.
The wind passed through the corridor, blowing a squeezing sound, walking forward along the corridor, it was Gong Yu's room, the door was closed, there was no key, Lin Shouxi could only look at the situation inside the house through the narrow view of the window, the room was very elegant, and there was a white piano placed near the window.
"Xiaoyu is still learning the piano?" Lin Shouxi was a little surprised.
"Oh, those are decorations—" Hatsuru said in a low voice.
Lin Shouxi nodded suddenly.
Chu Lu excitedly took him to many places, and many boring and boring scenes, under her bright introduction, also seemed to be peerless beauty that should not be missed. Lin Shouxi listened, and was also moved by the cuteness of the first heron, and showed a knowing smile.
"Ahead is the place where the lady lived...... But she doesn't usually live here, she still prefers the Snow King's Palace, and she doesn't like strangers to go to her room, so we still can't go." Chu Lu said.
Lin Shouxi bowed his head.
After bypassing her house, they were quick
Arriving at the end of the mansion, when Lin Shouxi wanted to turn back, he asked, "How can there be a sculpture here?"
"Oh, this is White Tiger Pass."
"What does the White Tiger Pass do as a toad?"
"This is a special carving... White Tiger." Chu Lu said helplessly, "I don't know why, Sister Shuyuan became obsessed with carving after she recovered, this is her early work, and later, she also carved a commemorative statue for you and your sister in the Great Snow King City, if Master is interested, you can go and see it."
I don't have to." Lin Shouxi hurriedly shook his head.
The road was at the end, and Chu Lu took the master's hand and walked forward.
Walking through the snow garden and stepping up the steps, the jumping Chu Lu accidentally stepped on the front of the skirt, she exclaimed, and fell on the snow steps, Chu Lu turned her head pitifully, lifted up some skirts, gently rubbed her red ankles, and said aggrievedly: "Chu Lu was too careless, I didn't pay attention to the road, and I hurt my foot this time...... Can Master carry me back?"
Lin Shouxi criticized the little apprentice's clumsy acting skills in his heart, but he also stretched out his hand and planned to pull her up.
Lin Shouxi just stretched out his hand, but he didn't know what he saw, and his hand froze in mid-air.
Chu Lu also felt that behind her, there was a strong killing intent rising up.
Chu Lu followed the killing intent and looked over.
Gong Yu was looking at her condescendingly.
"Hurt your foot?" Gong Yu asked.
"I ......"
The first heron is like an abyss, like a dangerous peak.
"Huh?"
Gong Yu frowned lightly.
Chu Lu knew that something was wrong, and she got up suddenly, she lifted the hem of her skirt, turned around, and said, "Chu Lu is fine, I was playing with Master just now, and Senior Sister Bu Lao cares."
"It's okay."
Gong Yu put his hands behind his shoulders and asked coldly, "Are you running out?"
"Huh? What ran out?"
Gong Yu didn't explain, she grabbed Lin Shouxi's wrist, pulled him to her side, and said, "Return it to me when you're done."
Then, under Chu Lu's unwilling and powerless gaze, Master was taken to her room by Senior Sister in this way.
The door slammed shut.
The curtains also fell.
The first heron was isolated from the door, although there was no displeasure, but the taste in his heart was strange.
The curtain flickered slowly, and the candle flame shook red.
After the door closed, the frost and snow on Gong Yu's cheeks melted into candle red, and his calm eyes also glowed with water.
"These two sisters are really annoying, the elder sister is delaying time, the younger sister is blatant and grabbing people, and they have not taught them a lesson for too long, it is really becoming more and more lawless." The palace language is quiet.
Lin Shouxi was relieved when he heard her say this, and said, "I saw that Xiaoyu was so calm, and I thought you were really not shocked."
"Calm down?"
Gong Yu leaned against the door, the corners of her lips provoked a slight snort, and she said, "You let me wait for a hundred years, and you want me to be ridiculed by the immortals for a few more years?"
Her calmness and restraint have always been shown to outsiders, when did she ever have these when facing Lin Shouxi alone?
She locked the door and walked towards Lin Shouxi, her step-by-step posture was a bit like a big sister who was molesting a young man from a good family.
Gong Yu's fingers ran over his hair and cheeks little by little, and finally gently hooked his jaw.
For this sudden encounter, Gong Yu still felt very unreal, she looked at Lin Shouxi carefully, there were a thousand words in her heart, but she didn't know where to start, when she was thinking about it, Gong Yu's eyes were condensed, and she asked vigilantly:
"Why do you smell like another woman, um... Is it Chu Chu's girl?"
"Well, I just came from Yingchan."
"You went to see her first?"
"As soon as I entered the real country, I met Yingchan..."
Gong Yu said in his heart, doesn't this mean that the fate between him and Chu Chu is heavier?
"Since you met Miss Chu, why don't you spend the night with her, why do you come to me?" Gong Yu asked coldly.
Lin Shouxi told the truth what happened
After listening to Gong Yu, his expression became even colder, and he said, "Oh...... You mean, can you come here, or is it a handout from that girl?"
Lin Shouxi tried to explain, but the more he explained, the more annoyed Gong Yu became, and in desperation, Lin Shouxi had no choice but to say, "If Xiao Yu doesn't want to see Master like this, Master will go back to find Chu Chu."
Seeing that he was leaving, although Gong Yu knew that this was a little trick to catch him, he still grabbed his wrist, "Don't move!"
Lin Shouxi was not obedient, he not only moved, but also hugged her tender and graceful body, kissed Gong Yu's cold red lips, and sucked it like tasting flower petals.
Gong Yu was emotional, and let out a hungry groan, her arms hooking Lin Shouxi's neck gradually slid down, stroking his back, and soon, the pair of master and apprentice were like two flames, burning together.
It's dawn.
Chu Lu made breakfast porridge and wanted to wait for the master to get up and eat it, but until noon, the sky was bright, and the door of the senior sister's room did not open.
"Can you talk about the old for so long?" Hatsulu asked curiously.
"I can't talk about the old for so long." Xian Invite said.
Hearing her sister's tone, Chu Lu immediately understood what she meant, and retorted, "They are masters and apprentices, how can they act like this? They must be discussing something noble now in their room!"
"Some masters and apprentices can, and some masters and apprentices cannot, it varies from person to person." Xian Invite's tone was flat, but it was murderous.
Hatsuru glared at her.
Chu Lu didn't wait for Gong Yu to open the door, but waited for Fairy Chu first.
In the afternoon, this snow-skirt fairy came from the king's main city and visited this place.
"Master ......"
The first heron immediately greeted him.
"Where's your master?"
Chu Yingchan asked straight to the point.
Chu Lu pointed to the room where Gong Yu was talking.
Chu Yingchan smiled helplessly, looking clear in her heart. The dignified and elegant fairy walked slowly to the door, knocked lightly, and after a few moments, the door opened.
"Chu Chu ......"
As soon as Lin Shouxi spoke, Gong Yu's voice sounded behind him, with a sense of annoyance: "You are not in charge of the overall situation in the Daomen, what are you doing in this desolate place? Do you disturb your master's tranquility?"
"Back to the master, the apprentice took in a new apprentice last night, this rebel has just joined my sect, and he disappeared during today's class, the apprentice is angry, so he came to find someone to ask for guilt, and wants to arrest this criminal." Chu Yingchan smiled.
"That's right..."
Gong Yu said nonchalantly, "Teaching for the teacher is to teach you on your behalf."
"So, isn't it okay?" Chu Yingchan showed hesitation.
"What's wrong? You can't trust your master?" Gong Yu asked.
"Not really, it's just... This is the disciple of the disciple."
"Personal? What did you pass on, deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors?"
Chu Lu listened to their conversation, and was very confused for a moment, she turned her head and asked her sister, "What are they talking about?" Why can't I understand a word?"
"There's real fun here, you're not from the mountains, so it's naturally difficult to get a glimpse of the true face."
Immortal Invitation smiled faintly, she grabbed Chu Lu's hand, and said, "Okay, don't stay here, so as not to disturb them."
"Oh"
Reluctantly, Chu Lu followed her sister away.
When leaving, she looked back and saw the last scene: Master's bony hand stretched out from the room and grabbed Chu Yingchan's thin white wrist, and then, the snow skirt fairy was dragged into the house together, and the sound of the door closing passed.
In the next two days, Lin Shouxi did a lot of things.
He went to the Snow King's palace and saw the soul spring where he was imprisoned.
When Soul Spring saw him come out, he smiled with relief and said, "I didn't expect you to be ahead of everyone in the end."
"I want to get something." Lin Shouxi spread his hands bluntly.
The Soul Fountain understood and gave him the spiritual root of the key.
This spiritual root, which had appeared in the dead city, had finally fallen to him
of the hands.
Lin Shouxi refined it into his body.
After that, he saw Xingyu.
Xingyu has been practicing for another hundred years, even if it is converted into the age of a human being, she is no longer the ignorant little girl in the rain temple back then, she is wearing a cyan skirt, and she looks like a kind of lady temperament, but her teeth are still pointed, and it is easy to scare people when she laughs.
She said that she had her father's true blood flowing in her body, and that her father was transformed by pale blood, so she also possessed the purest dragon blood. Back then, Soul Spring wanted to support her to ascend to a new throne, but unfortunately, the plan fell short.
"It's okay if I fail, if I succeed, I have to eat my last brother, the prison cow, the prison cow brother is very good to me, I can't eat him." Xingyu said so.
After that, Lin Shouxi went to see Gu Ciqing again.
He told Gu Ciqing the mantra of the blood clan, and as a price, after Gu Ciqing cultivated into the new blood demon queen, he had to sign a contract with Mu Shijing to protect her for a hundred years. After that, he went to see Lu Shu again.
I haven't seen it for a hundred years, and Lu Shu is still alchemizing.
Lu Shu was overjoyed when she saw Lin Shouxi, she hoped that Lin Shouxi could help her refine the elixir she dreamed of.
Lin Shouxi looked at the Dan Fang, and his brows furrowed, because he found that this was a refining method of the Human Dan.
Ren Dan, as the name suggests, is to take people as Dan.
Lu Shu wants to refine himself into a living pill.
"Human beings can be stung to death by inconspicuous poisonous ants, I think the gods are the same, I want to refine myself into the most poisonous pill, a pill that can poison the gods, and when there is a disaster, I am willing to feed the demons with my body, and the jade will be burned." Lu Shu said.
Lin Shouxi rejected her plea.
Finally, he meets the three-flowered cat.
The three-flowered cat was also pleasantly surprised to see him, and one person and one cat chatted for a long time by the fireplace in the afternoon.
The three-flower cat has long forgotten that it is a dragon, it shuttles through the streets and alleys every day, but it has left a lot of legends and stories of cat fairies to the real country, today I heard Lin Shouxi ask about the king of Cangbi, it couldn't remember where the bones were put for a while, and scratched its head for a long time.
"Are you still writing that book of the gods?" Lin Shouxi remembered this for some reason.
"I've stopped writing a long time ago." Sanhua replied.
"Why? Can't write anymore?" Lin Shouxi asked.
"Of course not, although I look back now, I always feel that I am not satisfied with the writing, but my enthusiasm is not extinguished, how can I give up because of this?" The three-flowered cat held its head high, its eyes were bright, and it patted Lin Shouxi's shoulder with its paws and said, "I'm waiting for you, waiting for you to help me finish the final story."
Lin Shouxi was stunned.
He nodded solemnly.
Three days went by in a flash.
Three days later, he was healed from his injuries and came outside the seal.
