Early the next morning, the crowd went their separate ways.

Poison Langzhong wants to go back to Pingzhou to bury his senior brother, and plans to return to Shuangta Town on the same way, and then go all the way to the northeast.

Mu Shilan and Murong Yunxiu went out of Kyushu to the country of Night Flow, so they went south.

Su Wangting, on the other hand, stayed alone in the oasis where he had lived in this wonderful room for many years.

Within a few days, Lu Qihong really ordered his subordinates to send a large amount of rice, noodles, wine and meat, and the pots and pans in the wooden house in Miaolang were readily available, plus there was no shortage of water in the oasis.

But he was willing to go out of the oasis every day, find a higher sand dune, and look at the desert.

This hope is half a day, almost every day.

……

The sky blue is not like words, there is not a trace of clouds.

Under the sky, it is boundless light yellow, without a trace of variegation.

As far as the eye can see, the world is full of pure blue and yellow, like a secret place that should not exist in reality.

It's hot, but it's quiet.

It seems that even his own existence is a disturbance to this tranquility.

In an absolutely pure environment, people's hearts will unconsciously be empty.

Recalling the past, Su Wangting unconsciously smiled dumbly.

It turns out that everything in the red dust is fleeting......

Even, he began to examine the world, what is it?

What exactly is a person?

What is the origin of all things?

Su Wangting gradually recalled what Pukong had said to him.

He once said that the end of all things in the universe is emptiness.

The origin of all things in the universe is also emptiness.

It's empty to come, it's empty to go.

If so, what is the good news? What's the matter?

But the human heart is contrary to nature and is often not empty.

Therefore, all the troubles in the world are born from this.

After meditating in the desert for more than a month, Su Wangting understood Pukong's words more and more thoroughly.

It is also becoming more and more recognized.

After returning to the oasis after meditating every day, Su Wangting often flipped through the records of various prescriptions left in Miao Lang, as well as his experience when dispensing medicines.

It's just a matter of passing the time.

One day, while I was flipping through the pages, I saw a shriveled object suddenly fall from the book.

Su Wangting picked it up and looked at it, stunned.

Golden-veined gecko tail!?

What are you doing in the booklet!!

Mu Shilan and Murong Yunxiu have traveled thousands of miles to the night country for this thing!!

However, soon Su Wangting smiled indifferently and shrugged his shoulders: "It's okay, maybe the two of them have really become a couple after running back and forth here." ”

Because the gecko tail had been caught in the booklet for a long time, the paper was stained.

But the few lines recorded in Miaolang under this stain attracted Su Wangting's attention.

"On the second day of April, I dug up sandworms in the sand dunes near the oasis to make them a medicine. Suddenly the wind was fierce, and white light flashed on the sand dunes about a mile to the northwest, and it was difficult to walk in the wind, so I had to go to investigate tomorrow when the wind stopped. ”

Su Wangting turned the page, and sure enough, there was a follow-up record.

"On the third day of April, after a night of fierce winds, we went to the sand dunes that shone with the white light of yesterday. Climb to the top of the hill, only to see a white marble tower pointed stele exposed, under the yellow sand stele depth is not known. The stone tablet is engraved with ancient texts and unknown carvings, and when you look closely, you only feel that it seems to be related to the nine chapters of the heavenly machine. ”

"Nine chapters of the Heavenly Machine?" Su Wangting raised his eyebrows, "Hmph, this Laoshizi is everywhere?" Even in such a remote and desolate desert, there are rumors. ”

Su Wangting secretly said that he looked at the desert every day, but there was never a sand dune with white light in the direction that Miao Lang said.

But if you think about it, it's right.

On that day, as recorded in the Myo Lang, the wind must have blown away a lot of the yellow sand from the dunes, revealing what was buried underneath. Presumably, it must have been buried by the wind and sand again.

It's no wonder that I didn't see any white light.

Su Wangting only said that there were some monuments buried under the yellow sand, but he didn't care.

Besides, I have never been interested in the Nine Chapters of the Heavenly Machine, even if that thing is related to the Nine Chapters of the Heavenly Machine, so what?

What's the matter with Guan Ye?

Putting down the book, it was already dark.

After eating some dried meat noodles and drinking some wine, Su Wangting fell asleep.

……

"This is ......"

When he opened his eyes, Su Wangting suddenly found the scene in front of him, extremely familiar.

Silla, the top of the cliff behind the Frost Flower Palace.

This is the place where I used to fanatically pursue cultivation and practice alone year after year.

Every grass and tree on the top of this cliff, and even a few squirrels living on the old pine tree......

And the boy who once cried, laughed, despaired, and hesitated under the tree......

Su Wangting still remembers it vividly.

"You're back......"

Su Wangting was startled and turned around to take a look.

I saw a long strand of black hair brushing his face, and a flowing white veil lingered around his body......

A beautiful face that broke his heart was looking at him with a smile.

His eyes were sour, and Su Wangting shouted and pounced on the figure that haunted him.

But no matter how big his mouth was, he couldn't make a sound.

No matter how many times he pounced, his arms were always empty again and again.

"Fool, you didn't care about anything for the sake of cultivation in the first place. Now, can you get your wish? ”

The woman was still looking at him with a smile.

Su Wangting shook his head again and again, his mouth moving up and down, but he couldn't call out the familiar name.

"I used my life to awaken the innate veins around you because I didn't want to see you suffer from cultivation again. Fool, if you are still depressed all day long, will not my life be in vain? ”

Tears poured out of Su Wangting's eyes like a flood that burst the embankment, and his face was full of remorse and pain.

She was close, but she couldn't touch her.

Although her name is rotten in her heart, she can't recall it herself.

"Wangting, do you remember the last time I looked......

The woman slowly retreated to the edge of the cliff.

Seeing this, Su Wangting chased forward violently, but found that he couldn't even move his feet at this time.

Su Wangting cried silently, his hands folded and waved, humbly begging her to stop.

"Okay, don't forget my ......"

The white veil was raised, and the woman jumped off the cliff.

"No !!"

Su Wangting sat up from the bed and gasped for breath.

He hadn't had this dream for a long time.

I touched my face, and I was already wet with tears.

With a long sigh, he looked out the window.

It's still pitch black.

The trees rattled, and the desert outside the oasis was suddenly raging.

Su Wangting, who was full of melancholy, was still sleepy at this time.

Sit in bed until dawn.

When the sun fell on the oasis again, the wind in the desert outside gradually stopped.

After washing his face by the waterhole, Su Wangting still walked out of the oasis as usual, climbed to the top of the sand dunes again, and began to meditate against the endless desert.

At this moment, a white light flashed among the sand dunes in the distance.

"Did that thing in Miao Lang be blown out again by last night's wind?"

Su Wangting frowned.

A white shadow could be faintly seen.

But the white shadow seemed to be fluttering in the wind, like a woman's gauze shirt.

At this time, Su Wangting's brows became tighter and tighter.

"People?"

Squinting his eyes, Su Wangting slowly stood up, concentrating on a careful look.

After a while, Su Wangting's pupils contracted violently!

That white shadow moved!

A long black hair appeared, and it was also swaying in the wind along with the white veil!!

That's clearly a woman!!

And the woman's action of raising her hand to brush her hair is so familiar!!

"Ruowei !!"

Su Wangting roared and ran away.

The heart-rending roar seemed to vent the depression that I couldn't open my mouth in my dream last night!

Ruowei !! Ruowei !!! ”

The distance of that white light is only one mile, and if it is light, it can be reached in the blink of an eye.

But at this time, Su Wangting seemed to have forgotten his cultivation, and just ran wildly on the sand with his legs like an ordinary man.

Tears flew out of the corners of his eyes.

At this time, he suddenly woke up in his heart.

What no desire, no desire!!

What comes and goes is empty!!

After all, he is just a mortal with seven emotions and six desires!!

As long as she is still in this world, even if the immortal path is in front of her, Lao Tzu is willing to be obsessed in this red dust without regrets!!

"Ruowei !!"

Su Wangting cried like a child and ran to the bottom of the sand dune, climbing up with his hands and feet.

But when he climbed to the top of the hill, his boiling emotions immediately sank.

As recorded in Miaolang, a white stone tablet in the shape of a spire peeked out of the yellow sand, reflecting a dazzling white light under the scorching sun.

Su Wangting sat down.

"Is it a hallucination?"

Su Wangting wiped the sweat and tears on his face, lowered his head and muttered, "What's wrong with me?" Ruowei ...... How could he be ...... when he is no longer alive?"

After sitting for a long time, Su Wangting looked up at the stone stele.

White all over.

The texture is uncertain, but it does look like a fine white marble.

I saw that the nine recesses on the stele were recessed, and the small square holes were arranged in a circle, and there was a column of seal characters engraved on both sides of the square holes.

Su Wangting leaned closer, frowning to identify these ancient texts.

"Peeping into the sky to achieve great success, holding nine chapters to resist the Xuan Realm."

Looking at the nine square holes, the size and shape are just enough to fit the white jade pieces of the Nine Chapters of the Heavenly Machine.

It's no wonder that Miao Langzhong thinks that this monument is related to the nine chapters of the heavenly machine.

"Hmph, that's a mystery."

Su Wangting was not interested in the slightest, turned around and jumped off the sand dune, and walked slowly towards the oasis.

At this time, a flowing white shirt appeared next to the stone monument again.

A pair of flickering beautiful eyes stared at the lost and distant back.

There was a light smile on the poignant face.

"Lookout ......"

Su Wangting, who was walking in the sand, was suddenly stunned, stopped his steps, and turned back sharply.

I saw that the white stone tablet was still shining under the scorching sun.

Other than that, there was nothing else on the dune.

Su Wangting smiled bitterly, continued to move forward, and said to himself, "Is it the reason why I didn't sleep well last night?" I had hallucinations one after another. ”

Back at the oasis, I saw a vulture perched on top of the wooden house.

Seeing Su Wangting come back, the vulture jumped off the ground as if he recognized him, flapping its wings at Su Wangting again and again.

"Huh? Lu Qihong's letter bird? Saying that, Su Wangting picked the vulture's head with his fingers and teased it, "Big eagle, your brother has something to do with me?" ”

The vulture cooed twice and raised its claws.

Su Wangting smiled, took out a roll of paper from the letter box tied to his talons, and then threw a piece of jerky to reward the vulture.

Slowly spreading out the rolled paper, Su Wangting frowned and read Lu Qihong's terrible calligraphy.

It is comparable to recognizing the ancient characters on the stone tablet.

But as he read and read, the content of the letter made Su Wangting stand up unconsciously, with a shocked face.
