Chapter 52: The Pure Land 5
"Yes."
She answered categorically, which made Shu Ya even more hesitant.
The cool evening breeze did not sweep away the beads of sweat from the corners of her forehead, but aggravated the flush on her face, and the rattan chair, which was usually very comfortable, now made her restless, like an ant on a hot pot, trying to run but unable to run.
Xu Zhibai: ?
Looking at her reaction, Xu Zhibai looked inexplicable.
As if having made up her mind, Shu Ya calmed down and went to find Xu Zhibai's gaze in the night.
Her eyes were as bright as they were when she was invited into the house.
"I've always known that you noble daughters came to our village just to find a way up the mountain, and I just ...... I like you so much......"
"No one has ever accompanied me up the mountain to do such trivial things with me, and the people in the village ......"
At this, she lowered her eyes, as if she didn't want people to see the fragility in her eyes.
Xu Zhibai felt the sadness flowing on her body, his heart moved, he sat up straight, and reached out to wrap his hand around her shoulder.
She still couldn't say anything comforting, but at this moment, she wanted to hug her.
"If I could, I would always accompany you to do these little things." Her voice was a little muffled, very soft, and a slight gust of wind blew through the night.
She never felt that going up the mountain to collect medicinal herbs and sorting them out and drying them was a boring thing, on the contrary, she liked the laid-back feeling.
It's like...... Only during this time can the body truly belong to itself.
The nerves that have been tense are loosened, and the emotions that have not fluctuated have been satisfied.
With two small hands wrapped around her back, Shu Ya leaned her head on her shoulder, looked at the starry sky, and sighed as if satisfied: "Thank you." ”
"When I was very young, my parents passed away one after another, and then my grandparents passed away because of me, and the people in the village said that I was a lone star, and I didn't dare to come close to me, but my mother saved me......"
There was a faint light in her eyes, and Xu Zhibai couldn't bear it: "I understand." ”
In fact, Shu Ya doesn't need to say it, she already understands.
Shu Ya's experience is very similar to the experience of the eldest lady of the Xu family in her memory, which may be the reason why the system assigned her to her.
It's just that the eldest lady of the Xu family, who is regarded as a waste and an ugly monster by everyone, has no one to save her, and no one wants to get close.
She knew better than anyone how hard it could be.
A bold idea appeared in Xu Zhibai's heart.
"Shuya, can you feel the aura?"
If a mortal wants to cultivate immortals, he must first feel the existence of aura, if he can't sense it, he won't be able to induce qi into his body, and he will not be able to set foot in the world of cultivating immortals for the rest of his life.
Most of this aura induction is innate, and a small half can be obtained through acquired operations.
For example, living in a place with strong spiritual energy for a long time, such as spending a lot of money on what drugs to dredge the spiritual veins.
The acquired is always inferior to the congenital.
After inducing qi into the body, even if he touches the gate of cultivating immortals, he will have the qualifications to go to the immortal gate for trial.
But the more big the sect, the higher the requirements.
Nanyang, as the first immortal gate, naturally has higher requirements.
Xu Zhibai touched Shu Ya's fingers.
Good guy, the aura in her body is hundreds of times richer than her.
Shu Ya's eyes widened, she understood Xu Zhibai's thoughts, and shook her head again and again: "No, no, I won't go to Xianshan." ”
In fact, the enrollment disciples of Xianshan also came to their house, and asked her several times if she was willing to worship in Xianmen, but she refused.
At first, the admissions disciple patiently asked the reason and tried to untie the knot in her heart, but she insisted again and again, so she gave up.
After all, there are so many people in the world who want to worship in the fairy gate in every possible way, she is unwilling, there are many people who are willing, and there are many things in the fairy gate, so there is really no need to waste time with her.
Xu Zhibai is still patient now, she stroked Shu Ya's soft hair: "Can you tell me why?" ”
The air is slightly stagnant.
After being silent for a while, Shu Ya hesitated to speak: "Immortal Mountain...... I have to go to class and study, I don't know how to read, and I have to practice all kinds of exercises, and if I can't learn it, I will be punished, I can't sleep every day, I can't sleep every day, I practice when I open my eyes and close my eyes, and I'm as tired as a dog...... Oh no, the dogs aren't that tired! ”
Xu Zhibai: ......
She couldn't help but laugh: "Who told you that?" ”
Shu Ya was serious: "Little road! He is an outer disciple of Nanyang, and he often comes down the mountain, and he told me that every time he sees him so tired that his chest is pressed against his back. ”
"The front chest is attached to the back...... Are you sure that's not hungry? ”
"Oh yes! The food in Xianshan is not delicious! I heard that it is to force the disciples to Bigu, if you don't want to Bigu, you have to eat bad food! ”
Xu Zhibai: ......
Finally told the real reason, right?
She straightened her face: "Shu Ya, you know, we outsiders came here to pass the trial of Nanyang Immortal Mountain and seek the way to Immortal Mountain. Born in Xianshan and raised in Xianshan, most of us dare not think of it. In a sense, you're luckier than most people, and as for what you think of that luck, that's your business, and I can't do anything about it. ”
"What I'm trying to tell you is, if you're not happy in one place, then why not leave?"
Thinking of his more than ten years as the eldest lady of the Xu family, Xu Zhibai also lowered his eyes, waited for a while, and saw Shu Ya twisting her fingers there before slowly speaking again.
"You always think that I am a noble daughter, but in fact, I am just an unfavored young lady, my mother has passed away a long time ago, and my father has never cared about me, and I look like this. I've been planning to leave that home for a long time, whether it's coming to Xianshan or standing on my own as soon as possible. ”
"Anyway, I won't go back."
She looked into Shu Ya's eyes and said word by word: "Life is your own, whether you live well or not depends on your own judgment." ”
I thought that Shu Ya would think about it for a long time, at least it was impossible to give an answer tonight, but she got up suddenly.
"I'll go with you!"
Xu Zhibai was a little surprised, she hurriedly said: "You don't have to make a decision now, this is not a trivial matter after all, you can discuss it with your mother." ”
"Okay." Shu Ya nodded and walked to the hut where Shu's mother lived, "Mother! I'm going to Fairy Mountain! ”
Xu Zhibai: ......
I don't know how she discussed, but when she came out anyway, she had already packed her baggage.
Xu Zhibai looked at the sky, if she wasn't blind, it would still be late at night.
She didn't speak for a while.
Seeing her surprised look, Shu Ya was also a little helpless, she pulled Xu Zhibai's hand: "I also put your set of clothes for you, it's not that I want to rush you away." If we don't walk tonight, the road ahead will be difficult. ”
