Chapter 3: Difficult to Settle (I)
The Si people have passed away, and it is difficult to calm the empty world!
The wind is a little slow, the rain has not stopped, the sky is still cloudy and misty, there is indeed a misty drizzle, from the nine heavens and fell into the world, just to wash the prosperity of the world, and sweep away the unbearable summer heat!
The peaks in the southwest of H City are still verdant, between the peaks, the clouds and mist are mysterious and unpredictable, and the clouds and mist are thick, just to cover the world, to cover this strange and charming moment of impermanence!
Recently, the peach blossom order of Taoyuan was released, which means that the secret realm of Taoyuan has been closed for ten years! From now on, the disciples of the Taoyuan lineage will immediately hide in the verdant place, and do not see the rivers and lakes.
Taoyuan's move has caused an uproar in the world, but the fact is quite weird, and it is even more mysterious when you think about it!
It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that at midnight one day, the master of Taoyuan Gate and his two disciples fought with the people of the Demon Sect who took the opportunity to sneak attack the secret realm, and after driving back the invading people, the master of the sect, Situ Feng, and the second disciple Meng Po died of military strength and did not know what happened!
The eldest disciple Chi greedy wolf was seriously injured, and the sad master and disciple were all destroyed, so he made a heavy oath to destroy the Demon Sect, and entered the customs to practice the secret legend of Taoyuan, waiting for the coming day!
At this point, the Taoyuan vein is vacant as the master of the door, and only the nine elders collectively manage the affairs of the door, waiting for the person selected that day to enter the Taoyuan Secret Realm!
West Lake in the rain, the smoke and waves are vast, and it is hard to find!
There are green willows in the secluded place behind the rockery, but there is a wall in the depths that occasionally shows the vicissitudes of life, this wall is made of green bricks, but there are clusters of roses spread all over the wall!
The rose leaves are still green, and they look delicate and dripping under the moisture of the rain, but the flowers are no more, only the remnants of the stalks are empty, like the final chapter of the music, but there is a lingering rhyme - gradually drifting away and gradually no book, where does the water and fish sink to ask?
From teenagers to young adults, from young to middle-aged, the world is always so colorful and embarrassing; With concern, there is a position.
Education, wealth, or the so-called class solidification, but with the passage of time, the original unruly teenager finally made the original unruly teenager wash away the lead and appear plain, willingly re-enter the shackles, burdened by fame and fortune, and be cautious - only under the promise there is a "calm" evaluation! Is it ironic? No, it's just conventional!
There are green trees in the wall, but there are several tile houses between the shadows of the trees, several pavilions, black tiles and white walls, showing the flavor of the south of the Yangtze River, there are flowers and plants between the houses and pavilions, there are flowers and plants corresponding to the staggered results, the birdsong is at the same place, there is a pavilion Xuan, at this time there is a piano sound out, the piano sound is few and ancient, it is actually a song "Water Dragon Yin" is playing.
The window of the Xuan Pavilion was wide open, and when I looked in from the window, it turned out that the person who played the qin was actually a woman of peerless beauty!
This woman's abdomen is bulging, and she thinks she is already pregnant! The woman sat in front of the piano, stroked the strings lightly with her ten fingers, and the notes of the music rolled down like jade beads, but the flawless face was still calm and pleasant at this time, only occasionally when she looked up at the listener next to her, there was tenderness in her eyes, and her smile was faint but also very clear!
The listener is a man in a light-colored stand-up collar casual dress, sitting on a wooden couch at this time, his hands on his knees and his eyes closed to listen, the fingers are tapping with the music, thinking that he has been intoxicated by the sound of the piano, but his appearance is extremely handsome, and his handsome temperament is outstanding!
At this time, there was a sudden wind through the bamboo forest, came to caress the Xuantang Pavilion, there was incense in the incense tube next to the piano rising, the fragrance was refreshing, the fragrance was refreshing, the ββ, of opening the wisdom and the pulse were fragrant, and at the end of the song, the woman held her abdomen and looked at the man sitting on the couch, and said with a smile, "Ziqian, when I was playing the piano, our son was also listening." β
"Oh?" The man looked at his wife dotingly, but he stood up, walked to the woman, stroked the woman's bulging abdomen, and said with a smile, "Maybe my daughter is listeningβ" The woman smiled, and her beautiful cheek gently rested on the man's chest.
"The doctor said that in my womb, there is a dragon and phoenix fetus, but," the woman looked up at the man and said, "I don't know why, but I have been feeling empty lately, and nothing will happen, right?" β
After speaking, the woman gently touched her abdomen, although the smile was at the corner of her mouth, but a trace of sadness was always on her eyebrows!
"You," said the man, who lovingly brushed a little messy hair for the woman, "you are just thoughtful, what is the matter?" However," the man pondered for a moment, then smiled, "I'm afraid it has something to do with the closure of the Taoyuan Secret Realm." β
"Yes, there is a peach blossom order from the door, ordering the disciples outside to return to the mountain immediately-I'm afraid something big has happened, rumors in the rivers and lakes-"
"Well, the rumors in the rivers and lakes will not be groundless, but the person who gave the order did not say anything," the man paused and continued, "The peach blossom order is out, and the disciples will return to the mountain in three days, as long as they return to the Taoyuan, everything will always fall into place!" β
"Falling out of the water?" The woman smiled, then frowned, and said, "Not necessarily! However, Ziqian, uncle is gone! β
"Oh? When did you leave? β
"Last night, I said that I was sending someone home, alas, my uncle is always like this, and the dragon can't see the end!"
"Hehe," the man smiled, "Uncle is a contemporary Lingmen walker, Ze is born, rescued, well, always very busy." β
"That can't just go, alas, our son and daughter are about to be born, and I really want to have an elder by my side." The woman frowned, and her good-looking little mouth pouted, thinking that she was very unhappy.
The man turned around and walked behind the woman, gently massaged the woman's shoulder, groaned slightly, and said, "Luoxi, my uncle is my father-in-law's eldest brother, and I have been with my father-in-law through thick and thin.
The man looked down at his wife, who was already snuggled in his arms in front of him, and continued, "After all, Uncle Yi is a Lingmen walker, a person in the Lingmen, acting secretly, walking the world, and monitoring the movements of each door," the man paused, "I don't know how many people in the world hate Uncle to the bone, so Uncle is called Giveaway, but he doesn't want to cause trouble for you!" β
"Well, it's trueβ" The woman groaned for a moment, then sighed and said, "Uncle has a profound cultivation, and he is a figure in the rivers and lakes who overlooks all living beings, but even if someone is looking for trouble, we can take it ourselves!" β
After speaking, Luo Xi laughed, and then slapped the table, a pen on the case jumped up, and then, the slender hand quickly stepped forward and flicked it, and the pen flew out of the window and disappeared into the trunk outside the window!
"Hey, my dear little daughter-in-law, you, you are careful of the fetal gas-" The man hurriedly stepped forward to support his wife, and hurriedly reproached, his heart was overflowing with love and pity!
Beautiful mountains and mountains.
A road cooler off-road vehicle winds around the mountain road, and soon stops at a stone archway!
Li Ziqian, who came down from the cab, walked around the front of the car to the co-pilot's position, gently opened the car door, helped Luo Xi down from the car, and said, "Okay, you are pregnant with Liujia now, and you are not good at walking, I can come by myself, and I won't say anything if I want to come to the eldest uncle, usually he loves you so much!" β
Luo Xi, who got out of the car, looked at the greenery in the valley, took a deep breath, looked at her husband with a happy face, and said softly, "It's not good if you don't come to such a big thing from inside the door, not to mention, I don't worry about you." β
"You," Li Ziqian sighed, then didn't say anything anymore, but looked up at the words on the archway with Luoxi, and couldn't help laughing, "Luoxi, why don't you say that the elders in the door don't change this name, I always feelββ"
"What does it always feel like?" An old voice came from the side.
The husband and wife turned around and said in surprise, "Master, why did your old man come?" β
"What's wrong with me!" The old man glared at Luo Xi, stroked his gray beard, the long hair under his chin swayed in the mountain wind, and scolded, "You, you have a big belly, and you are still running around, it's okay to have Ziqian here, what are you doing here, be careful of hurting my grandchildren!" β
"Master, isn't this what the Peach Blossom Order requires, the disciples in the door, all return to the mountain! Can I not come," Luo Xi hugged the old man's arm and said coquettishly, "What's more, the apprentice also misses the master-"
"Humph!" The old man glanced at Luo Xi, who was shaking his arm, but there was a smile in his eyes.
The three of them walked on the mountain road, the cliffs on the side of the road and the deep valley were emerald and compelling, and the mountain springs in the valley were bubbling through, so beautiful, the three of them turned a blind eye! They were speechless.
Luo Xi and Li Ziqian's master, who was originally an elder in the Taoyuan lineage, surnamed Murong, ranked second in the Council of Elders, was in charge of the Concentration Hall, doing things to teach and solve doubts, but he was just silent on weekdays, but his practice and martial arts were extremely high, and he was one of the few masters in the door!
Seeing that there was no one around, Li Ziqian approached and whispered, "Master, the door master and the two eldersβ"
"Yes." A trace of sadness floated on Elder Murong's face, and the furrow that the years had condensed on the old man's face seemed to be filled with sorrow at this time!
The old man faced the valley and sighed, "The people of the Demon Sect are very shameless, thinking about the master of the Situ Sect, he is over a hundred years old, although his cultivation is deep, and he has faintly peeked into the Heavenly Dao Path, but after all, he is a hundred years old, how can he withstand such a sneak attack?!" β
The old man turned to look at the two apprentices and said, "The Demon Sect that was annihilated a hundred years ago has reappeared in the world, this is a precursor to chaos in the world!" β
"Master, the master of the door, his old man-"
"According to Elder Chi, after a fierce battle, the sect master and Elder Meng were forced to fall into the Miasma Valley, which has rarely been entered by disciples for thousands of years, and the miasma is pervasive all year round! Afterwards, the sect sent a large number of disciples into the valley to look for it, but they found nothing, and they were even more bones! β
"Demon Sect thief, so despicable and shameless!" Li Ziqian said fiercely.
"Master, is the master of the door already the designated person to take over?" Luo Xi groaned a little and looked up and asked.
"Nope!" Elder Murong shook his head, "The incident happened suddenly, the door master did not leave a word, and besides, the door master's token livet order was also lost with the door master, so the elders discussed that the elder council would temporarily take the responsibility of the door master!" Waiting for the chosen one to enter the paradise! β
"Huh? The Chosen One, Master, tell me about it. Luo Xi grabbed Master's arm tightly and said coquettishly.
"You," the old man raised his hand and gently flicked a shudder on Luo Xi's head, scolding, "The troubles in the world are troubled, the more you know, the more upset you are, you are now a mother soon, and it is important to cultivate your mind!" β
"Master!" Luo Xi touched his forehead pitifully and said, "As a Taoyuan disciple, is there anything I don't know?" β
"Yes, Master, Ziqian has the same mind as Luo Xi, I beg you to solve your doubts, Master." Li Ziqian, who was next to him, bowed his body slightly and said in a humble voice.
"Alas, that's fine, although the elders will discuss that the matter of the Chosen One cannot be spread outside, but the two of you are already inner disciples, and it is also compliant to know about this matter."
The old man looked at the two of them with blazing eyes, and said, "Ten days ago, the master of the door performed exercises on the top of Cuiwei Peak to understand the way of heaven, and got a trace of the apocalypse, saying that the person who is chosen by heaven will be born in Taoyuan, and this person can lead the Taoyuan to seek up and down in order to seek the way of immortals!" β
At this moment, a gust of mountain wind blew, and a mist was graceful and elegant in front of the mountain road, and the old man turned to look at the misty clouds and mist, and sighed, "After the door master obtained the apocalypse, he wrote down this matter, sealed it in the letter, and handed it over to the great elder for safekeeping. β
"So, where is the Chosen One?"
"I don't know, in order to ask for more details, five days ago, the door master and the second elder Chi Meng were in the secret giant room again to seek the apocalypse, if you don't want to, that unspeakable thing happened." After the old man finished speaking, two lines of hot tears finally dripped down, the mountain wind was bleak, as if he was whimpering, and Li Ziqian and Luo Xi were also silent!
Rounding a straight mountain peak, a deep valley suddenly appeared on the left side of the road, and the clouds and mist seemed to have locked the valley mouth deeply! This is the valley of the miasma, and for thousands of years, few people have been able to enter the valley!
Looking at this mysterious and unpredictable secret realm, Luo Xi suddenly felt something, raised his head and said to Elder Murong, "Master, I want to go into the valley to have a look!" β
"No!" Elder Murong and Li Ziqian shouted in unison, and Elder Murong even said, "This place is full of miasma, and there are even more strange insects and monsters entrenched in the valley, good people must be careful, not to mention you, a pregnant woman!" β
"I just want to go to Taniguchi to pay respects to the masterβ"
"That's not going to work either!" The old man reprimanded, then looked up at the sky, and said, "Okay, I'm going to be a mother." Still so capricious! It's getting late, hurry up and eat, aren't you hungry and the child in your belly isn't hungry? Watch out for starving my grandchildren! β
The mountain and the moon have gone up to the middle of the sky, leaving only a piece of clear light, sprinkled all over this peach source secret land!
In the courtyard where the concentration hall is located, peaches and plums are planted all over, and the green leaves are swaying with the wind; There was a room, but the light came out of the window.
The room is elegant and pure, it is Luoxi's residence in this place back then, and the indoor display is the same as back then!
At this time, Luo Xi was leaning on the head of the bed, his eyebrows locked, as if he had something to say.
And by the window, there is a table and a chair, and Li Ziqian in the chair is doing exercises with his eyes closed! After a long time, a breath of fresh air came out of Ziqian's mouth, and then he stood up comfortably, turned his head to see the lonely Luoxi, and said with a smile, "Still thinking about the Miasma Valley?" β
"Hmm." Luo Xi looked at Li Ziqian pitifully, "I really want to go and see it." β
"But, the way you lookβ"
"It's just to take a look at the valley mouth, and pay tribute to the master of the gate to comfort our hearts."
"It's dangerous there."
"Danger, Li Ziqian, your kung fu is not as good as mine," Luo Xi looked at Li Ziqian, nodded and smiled.
"Hehe, you, you," Li Ziqian walked in front of Luo Xi, doted on his wife's forehead with his finger, and said, "Okay, I'll go to the head office with you." β
"Well, I grew up in this concentration hall since I was a child, and the old man of the door has pointed out to me many times, thinking of his old man, I really want to go and see it." Luo Xi looked at Ziqian pitifully, and his eyes were already full of joy!
"Well, we'll go in a whileβ" Li Ziqian gently took Luo Xi into his arms and whispered.
The valley at night is even more deep and sinister, there are unknown insects and birds in the valley, and there are more inexplicable things crawling around!
Li Ziqian held Luoxi's slender hand tightly, and walked into the valley, and saw that the flat and wide place was quite clean, but further inside, the road was already submerged in the chaotic trees and grass, and it was impossible to travel!
Li Ziqian looked down at Luoxi, brushed his wife's hair, and said, "Let's stop here, with a piece of incense in my heart, to comfort the old man." β
"Well, here it is." Luo Xi looked around, nodded and said.
The two of them faced the deep valley, kneeling three times and bowing nine times, after the ceremony, the husband and wife looked at each other, and they were speechless!
The wind in the middle of the night has gradually cooled, seeing that Luoxi's clothes are a little thin, Ziqian took Luoxi into his arms, Luoxi slowly leaned on Ziqian's arms, rested for a while, his husband's arms were still warm, Luoxi moved with satisfaction, but a pair of beautiful eyes were bright!
Suddenly, Luo Xi found a flash of light not far ahead, so he sat up, Ziqian looked at his wife who suddenly sat up, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" β
"Look," Luo Xi kept not far ahead, "what is that?" β
"Oh?" Li Ziqian narrowed his eyes and said, "There seems to be light, I'll take a look!" After speaking, he stood up and went to that place, it turned out that in the bluestone slightly convex, there was a non-gold and non-jade object that was quietly staying there! There's a streamer coiling inside this object!
Li Ziqian let out a low cry and hurriedly grabbed this thing in his hand!
Hearing her husband's voice, Luo Xi couldn't help asking, "Ziqian, what is that?" When he had finished speaking, he had to stand up.
"Don't come here!" Li Ziqian shouted, then grabbed the thing tightly in his hand and ran back quickly.
By the moonlight, the two of them looked carefully at the items in their hands, and couldn't help but exclaim in unison, "Lizard order? After speaking, Luo Xi looked at Ziqian and couldn't help covering his mouth.
"Yes, it's the Lizard Order!" Li Ziqian nodded, looked at his wife and asked, "What should I do?" β
"Give it to Master!" The two said it at the same time.
"Yes, the stakes are high, and it is important to hand it over to Master! Let's go! Li Ziqian pulled up Luoxi and ran to look where he came.
Suddenly, a branch shook next to him, and a dark voice said, "Things stay, people, stay!" β
Li Ziqian hurriedly turned around and saw a person dressed in black, standing there masked, with a cold light flashing in his hand!
Li Ziqian hurriedly hid his wife behind him and shouted, "Who are you?!" How dare you trespass on the forbidden land of Taoyuan! β
"Hehe, forbidden land? You two are not blessed to keep that thing, get acquainted, hurry up and hand it over to me! After speaking, the man in black twisted his body, and suddenly he was about to come to the two of them, Li Ziqian pulled Luo Xi back sharply, and then made a mistake with both palms, rubbed his body forward, and blocked this person in front, and just shouted, "Go find Master!" β
Luo Xi shouted, "You are not this man's opponent!" Then he pulled something out of his hair, and between his hands, a strong wind hit the door of the man in black!
The man in black saw that the thing was coming in a hurry, and he didn't think about it, so he immediately turned sideways to avoid it, grabbed his hand, and clamped it with his two fingers, but Luo Xi had already infused his true qi into it, although this thing was caught by the man in black, but Wu Zi shook his palm numbly!
"Oh, hairpin, hahaha, good kung fu!" The man in black shouted, "However, it's still not enough to see, you two should stay!" As soon as the words fell, this person's figure was already deceived.
When Li Ziqian saw the urgency, he gritted his teeth and suddenly pulled out a nine-section whip from his belt, and the tiger danced vigorously, temporarily blocking the man in black to one side! In a trance, I suddenly turned my head and looked at it, and I couldn't help but be shocked.
I saw Luo Xi, his body was slowly sitting on the ground, and his breath seemed to be chaotic!
"Ziqian, I, I'm dying! Maybe it's going to be born! Luo Xi sat on the ground and said breathlessly.
"Ahh Li Ziqian couldn't help but become even more flustered. It turned out that just now, Luo Xi was lucky and hit the hairpin at the person, but he didn't want to move the fetus, and there was a burst of pain in his abdomen!
"That, this!" Li Ziqian sighed, so he gritted his teeth and entangled the man in black, just hoping to give his wife a little more time!
"Boy, don't resist your pair of mandarin ducks, hahaha, hand over the order of the pit and leave you with a whole corpse, so as not to humiliate the corpse after death!" The man in black looked at the two of them playfully and said, "You don't want your delicate wife to be disheveled and naked after death, do you?" "The man in black is very good at kung fu, although he keeps talking wildly, but he is not loose at all!
Although Li Ziqian was extremely angry in his heart, he still kept silent, and only danced the nine-section whip like a dragon and snake coiled, and the strength was everywhere, and the whip repeatedly hit the sound of "popping" to break the sound barrier!
It's just that the black-clothed person is like a ghost, in a trance, he has been deceived in front of him many times, if it weren't for Li Ziqian's desperate fighting style, he would have already been on the way!
At the time of the crisis, suddenly a baby's cry came, it turned out that Naluoxi had already given birth to a baby!
Li Ziqian was startled, the steel whip in his hand slowed down, and between the lightning and flint, the man in black shouted, stepped closer, and a palm was imprinted on Li Ziqian's chest, and where he hit hard, Li Ziqian's figure suddenly floated up, and he fell beside Luoxi with a chirp! A mouthful of blood spurted out, and his body suddenly wilted!
"Ziqian!" Luo Xi was holding a baby in his left hand, and his right hand reached out, and he pulled Li Ziqian, who fell to the ground, to his side, but in this way, his body was even weaker! But Luoxi's abdomen is still bulging!
The man in black's eyes flashed, and he walked forward, stretched out his hand, and shouted, "Hand over the order of the lizard!" β
The mountain wind was howling, and the chirping of night owls came from a distance, Luo Xi smiled slightly, calmed his breathing, looked at the fierce eyes of the man in black and said, "How do you know that the thing in my hand is the Lizard Order?" β
