Chapter 20: Nine Heavens Daojun
Actually, it's nothing, it's just that I've been having some weird dreams lately.
In fact, cultivators don't dream, because they use meditation instead of sleep, and they naturally don't dream without sleep.
But he still sleeps at night, not because he is busy seeking comfort, he practices special exercises, and often needs to empty himself, and the effect is similar to dreaming.
"Oh? What kind of dreams, talk about it and listen to it as a teacher, let me see what can make you mess up. ”
Evening was silent, and began to tell what she had seen.
The world he dreamed of was wonderful, it was a prosperous city, and he saw the people in it who lived plain but happy, rising and resting. He was not one of them all, he was sometimes a bird, sometimes a butterfly, sometimes a spider weaving webs by the eaves, sometimes a busy ant.
But no matter what he incarnates, he can see someone.
It was a little girl whose face she couldn't see clearly, dressed in cherry blossom pink, with her long hair flying like willow silk and flowers in her hair, just like spring itself.
When he was a bird, he watched her run through the streets in mid-air, and several children frolicked and played with her as the leader; When he was a butterfly, he fluttered his wings and landed on a falling flower, watching her lean on the lace of the hibiscus and sniffing the fragrance of the flower; When he was a spider, he was busy weaving webs for himself and building a home, and he heard her and her father in the courtyard in the shade, counting the stars in the sky.
He was everywhere, but the girl lived in his world, and he watched the girl grow up, but he couldn't see her face clearly.
Sometimes Nightshade would try to get close to the girl, but then he would suddenly wake up from the dream, and the more often he knew that it was just a dream, that the girl might not exist, that everything was just his imagination.
After listening to Wan Yin's words, Jiuxiao Daojun suppressed the smile on the corner of his mouth, he picked up the teacup and took a sip, looked at the disciple with a heavy expression, and laughed again.
"I said what's going on, it turns out that I'm old and I'm in Sichun. You can rest assured, the master is very open-minded and will definitely not interfere in your love. ”
Wan Jian suddenly felt helpless, how could he not understand that this was the master's joke, so he said: "Master, although I don't understand who that person is, I have a feeling that that person is extremely important to me."
"Oh? What is the important law? ”
Wan Yin thought for a while and said, "It seems that there is an invisible thread connecting me and her, and my relationship with her is like a drop of blood. It's like...... We are inherently one. ”
He looked at Jiuxiao Daojun and said with a serious face: "That person may be my self in my previous life!" ”
With a "snap", the teacup in Jiuxiao Daojun's hand shattered in response, but the surprise was that the tea did not splash around, but condensed into a water ball in his hand, sometimes flowing like a stream, sometimes turning into a ring.
"Hahaha...... Ahem, this speculation is not unreasonable. Jiuxiao Daojun suppressed a smile, and the tea in his hand flowed into a perfect teacup, still warm.
Facing the suspicious gaze of his disciple, Jiuxiao Daojun cleared his throat and took out the appearance of being a teacher: "What you are cultivating is the method of my ascending Heavenly Palace's secret treasure, as the saying goes, there are thousands of people and thousands of laws, and if others cultivate, it may be another situation." Perhaps the peculiarity of you is that you have these wonderful experiences. ”
This is similar to what Wan Yin guessed, he nodded, and thanked: "Master Xie has pointed out, the apprentice has been taught." ”
After that, Jiuxiao Daojun didn't continue the topic, and after a while, he heard a thick bell outside, and the bell spread far away, and it was as if it was in his ears when he was hundreds of miles away.
"The apprenticeship ceremony is about to begin, and the apprentice will retire and prepare first."
Jiuxiao Daojun nodded, and Wan Yin stood up and bowed before retreating.
When he went outside, he saw the two little boys, who had eaten a piece of pastry, and they were smiling with satisfaction and merriment.
Wan Yin couldn't help but feel a light in his heart, but when the two of them cast their eyes, they had a cold look on their faces.
He nodded at the two of them and turned to leave.
I just took two steps, and a scene suddenly crossed my mind.
"Ah Yin, you're so good, let's share this pastry together."
His footsteps paused, and when he thought about it again, he couldn't remember the scene just now.
In the courtyard, Jiuxiao Daojun, who was supposed to prepare for the apprenticeship ceremony, did not move, he sat at the stone table, picked up the teapot and poured a new cup of tea.
The courtyard was silent, he pushed the cup of tea to the other side of the stone table, and sighed: "I don't know what day it is, the guests of my small courtyard are coming one after another." ”
As soon as his voice fell, a person fell from the sky, the red clothes were incompatible with the green bamboo forest, but they licked a color for this quiet place.
The man was also sitting at the stone table, his fingers on the teacup, but he didn't pick it up to taste, but said, "You are so kind to the new disciple, seeing that he is restless, you even specially made him Yishen flower tea." Even the head of the house has good tea reception. How did you get to me...... Is it the most common coarse tea? ”
Jiuxiao put the teapot in his hand on the table, and with a "bang" sound, it showed that he was not in a mood to welcome this uninvited guest at this time.
He is indeed like this, snorted coldly, and said: "I didn't drive you away, and I still dislike my tea, ten taels and one pounds, I like to drink it or not." ”
Ten taels and one catties, not even a spirit stone, it is not a rare thing to put in mortals, some big restaurants use it to greet guests, and when you meet someone with a bit of identity, you can't take this tea.
If someone else entertained him with this thing, he would have to bother guessing the other party's thoughts, but the person opposite was Jiuxiao, so there was only one meaning.
Not welcome.
The man chuckled, and he didn't get angry at this blatant disgust, he really took a sip of the cup, the coarse tea was bitter and astringent, and he really drank it clean.
Putting down the cup, he even boasted, "It's not bad, it's not as bad as I imagined." ”
Jiuxiao was speechless for a moment, changed the teapot and poured another cup, and said as he poured: "If you have nothing to do, go to the Three Treasures Palace, if you have anything to say, don't disturb my apprenticeship ceremony." ”
The man put the smile on his face, his fingers rubbing against the wall of the cup, his eyes dark.
"How is he?"
A sentence without a beginning or an end, but Jiuxiao knew what he was asking.
"Yes, he is a good seedling, even if you don't look for me, I will accept him, he has a tough heart and is suitable for being my disciple."
"Yes, that's good, I'm sure if it were you, you would be able to teach him well. But today I'm going to ask more than that......"
"I only taught him because he was good and to my heart, not to complete your plan and be a pawn in your hand." Jiuxiao's low voice implied warning.
"That's his will, and you can't change it, even if it's his master. Jiuxiao, I have no intention of arguing with you about this matter, this is his own decision, and none of us can change it. ”
"You know, I'm here today to say something else."
Jiuxiao took a deep breath, suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and said, "You want to ask about what happened just now." ”
The other party didn't hide his aura, but Xiu Wei was there, and Jiuxiao discovered him at the beginning, but Wan Xun didn't know that the conversation between himself and Shizun was completely listened to by another person.
"When you sealed his memory and left him at the foot of the mountain, you should have thought of this day."
His tone was a little cold, and although he didn't fully understand what had happened to the child, he could guess what a difficult fate the child was about to face.
Endless difficulties awaited him.
The man shook his head, "You're wrong, Jiuxiao, I have nothing to fear, but the matter of sealing the memory is his own request." ”
Jiuxiao was stunned, he didn't expect this to be the case at all.
The man continued: "I have observed him for three years, and for these three years he has lived like an ordinary man, and for these three years he has been like all boys of this age, although he has a little cold face, but he has a pure heart. I thought he had forgotten what he was going to do, but he suddenly went up the stairs. ”
Jiuxiao frowned, "What do you want to say?" ”
"When he went to climb the stairs, I thought he had regained his memory, but that wasn't the case. You don't know his past, he has never been an ordinary person, and he is by no means a kind person, on the contrary, he is very cold, not interested in most of the existence of the world, he is not as simple as you think. ”
When the words fell, no one in the courtyard spoke, and after a while, the man drank all the cold tea in the cup.
"I'm here to see him today, and by the way, I would like to congratulate you on finally receiving a suitable disciple. Now that the purpose has been achieved, then I will take my leave. ”
The man came silently, and when he left, he did not hesitate, and when the wind blew the leaves in the forest, the figure of the man disappeared.
In the courtyard, Jiuxiao drank the last sip of tea and did not say anything for a long time.
He remembered that day on the steps to the sky, the young man covered in blood, only a pair of eyes were so bright that people did not dare to ignore them.
He asked, "What do you ask?" ”
The young man's voice was hoarse, and every word was unforgettable.
"I'm going to go to this day and kill someone!"
"Who?"
"I want it, kill the gods!"
In fact, there is no real god in this world, and the last goddess with a godhead fell thousands of years ago.
The person who holds the artifact "Sea of Clouds" after her is the only person in the world who deserves the title of "god".
But that man was only a false god after all, but even so, he was strong enough that he was far from something that a mortal could fight against.
But that day, from the young man's eyes, he saw flames.
A spark can start a prairie fire.
He had a premonition of possibilities in the boy, so he took him as an apprentice.
But I don't know if it's good or bad......
There was a moment of silence, and a soft call came from outside the courtyard.
"Daojun, the apprenticeship ceremony is about to begin, and everyone is waiting for you."
At this time, the apprenticeship ceremony had already begun the time of a stick of incense, but the other master had not yet arrived.
"Oh no, it's late!"
Jiuxiao cursed, "That dog thief, what to congratulate, say some, waste my time!" ”
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, but he couldn't get angry, and he scolded again.
"Evildoer!!
