Chapter 42 Gu Pian Mother and Daughter, brave the snow to erect a monument
When the woman saw someone standing in front of the door, she was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Is it Monk Qi?" ”
Qi Shou stepped forward and recognized this woman as the former female demon cultivator Gu Lian.
However, at this time, she is no longer the appearance of the flower and the moon, but the appearance of a woman with yellow muscles and thin muscles.
Since the meridians have been broken, the monk has aged much faster than normal.
"It's me." Qi Shou nodded.
"Is Aunt Huang's son Huang Shaokang back?" Gu Lian asked.
"Shaokang is in a hurry now, and he can't come back for the time being." Qi Shou replied.
"Then come in with me." Gu Lian nodded, took Qi Shou into the Huang family's room, and said to the girl behind him: "Ruyun, you watch in the courtyard first, don't let Xue fall on Grandma Huang's coffin." ”
"Got it, mother." The girl agreed.
Qi Shou came to the Huang family's room with Gu Lian: "That girl is your daughter?" ”
"That's right, her name is Sha Ruyun." Gu Lian nodded, and her expression became a little depressed.
Qi Shou guessed that she might have remembered the male demon cultivator.
Come to think of it, it has been fourteen years since the clearing of the cold bone village and the sending of Gu Lian to Huatian Village, and the child in Gu Lian's womb has also grown into a twenty-seven girl.
Now the mother and daughter are very different from back then, but Qi Shou still looks young.
After Gu Lian entered the Huang family, she came to the cabinet in the main house and took out a letter.
"This letter was left by Aunt Huang to her son, since he can't rush back, you can help send this letter over." Gu Lian handed the letter to Qi Shou.
Qi Shou took the envelope, it was a little thick to the touch, and it seemed that there were a lot of things written in it.
"When did my godmother die?" Qi Shou asked.
"Just a few days after the winter, that day Aunt Huang said that she would go to other villages with me to buy some cotton and make a cotton coat for Ruyun to spend the winter, and when I went to look for her early in the morning, Aunt Huang had already fallen asleep in a dream." Gu Lian lamented.
Qi Shou sighed lightly, Huang Mu was not too painful when she left, and she felt better.
"Aunt Huang is very warm, and she has always taken good care of me since I came to Huatian Village, especially after Ruyun was born, she loves her very much, like her own daughter." Gu Lian looked at the coffin lying quietly outside the window.
At this time, Sha Ruyun was still standing in the heavy snow, and according to what her mother told her, she seriously helped clean up the snow falling on the coffin.
In the cold winter snow, Sha Ruyun was still wearing a single coat, her hands and little face were red from the cold, and a cold wind blew, and she shivered involuntarily.
Seeing this, Qi Shou walked outside the door and shouted to Sha Ruyun: "Girl, come into the house to warm up." ”
Qi Shou beckoned to Sha Ruyun: "Leave this to me." ”
Sha Ruyun looked at Gu Lian, Gu Lian nodded: "Just leave it to this uncle, you can come in first." ”
Qi Shou is a monk, and this cold wind is nothing at all.
Qi Shou brought filial piety cloth to Huang's mother to keep filial piety, and he kept watch in front of the coffin for three days.
The snow is getting heavier and heavier these days, and if you don't bury it again, the snow will seal the mountain.
Qi Shou carried the coffin on his back and came to the mountain near Huatian Village alone, found a feng shui treasure land, and buried Huang Mu.
It's just that Qi Shou came in a hurry, and he didn't customize the stele for Huangmu, so he could only find a piece of wood to engrave the stele for Huangmu.
"Huang Ru's tomb, Huang Shaokang, the mother of Qi Shou."
Qi Shou carved the wood, stood in front of the grave, and kowtowed three times before leaving.
All the way down the mountain, Qi Shou looked at the vast snow.
On the road to immortality, there are many more people who will leave them forever.
Back in Huatian Village, Gu Lian and Sha Ruyun had returned to the place where Qi Shou once lived.
There is not much difference between here and when Qi Shou left, there are some places where rain and wind leaks are patched, and a small piece of land has been opened in the courtyard, which is covered by heavy snow.
"Ruixue is a good year."
Qi Shou's mind subconsciously came up with this sentence, and then he thought of Zhao Xuan, the eldest lady of the Zhao family.
The hairband that Zhao Xuan gave him was already a little old, but Qi Shou still wore it on his head.
Walking into the house, Qi Shou patted the snow on his body.
Gu Lian and Sha Ruyun's mother and daughter were sitting in front of the bed and roasting the fire, and there was no kang in this old house.
Gu Lian sat on the bed, and Sha Ruyun sat beside her, holding a book in her hand to read.
"Brother Qi is back." Gu Lian got up and said.
Qi Shou nodded and came to the brazier: "This house, are you living in okay?" ”
"Fortunately, there is a field in the yard, and you can grow some vegetables and fruits in the spring, and you can live well." Gu Lian nodded.
"It's not comfortable to live in this house." Seeing the mother and daughter gathered around the brazier together, Qi Shou shook his head.
"It's better to have a home than to wander around." Gu Lian smiled bitterly.
Fourteen years have passed, and her daughters have grown up, but Gu Lian seems to be trapped in that day, and her eyes are always gloomy.
Qi Shou no longer talked about this, but turned his head to look at Sha Ruyun: "What book are you reading?" ”
"Wandering in all directions." Sha Ruyun raised his head and said.
This book Qi Shou has heard, it is a book that explains the geography and humanities of the four continents, the author is a monk named He Jia, who travels all over the world to record this book, which is rich in content and can broaden his horizons.
"Uncle, are you a monk?" Sha Ruyun asked.
Qi Shou nodded and smiled: "That's right." ”
"I read in the book that it says that a monk can live a very long life, why can't Grandma Huang become a monk?"
"If she were a monk, she wouldn't have left so early." Sha Ruyun asked innocently, her tone a little sad.
Qi Shou smiled and touched her head: "Not everyone can be a monk, some people are born destined not to become a monk, and some people have no chance to become a monk. ”
"Can I become a monk, then?" Sha Ruyun looked at Qi Shou with a fascinated expression.
Qi Shou was stunned for a moment and looked at Gu Lian on the side.
Gu Lian just sighed and didn't say anything.
Qi Shou turned his head and asked with a smile, "Can you tell Uncle why you want to become a monk?" ”
Sha Ruyun pointed to the book "Wandering in the Four Directions" and said: "I know that the author of this book is a monk, who can travel thousands of miles in a day and go to many places to write this book. ”
"I also want to be a monk, so that I can go far away like him."
"Mom said that Dad is the farthest place in the world, and I can go to him then."
After hearing this, Qi Shou pondered for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Whether you can become a monk or not, you have to test it before you know." ”
"So, I'll test your bones first and see if you have the qualifications to become a monk, okay?"
"Absolutely!" Sha Ruyun said excitedly.
Qi Shou casually took out a pen from the storage space, pretended to scratch it in the air a few times, and then used a small spell to conjure a fire in the air, as if he was holding some ritual.
This series of trick-like operations made Sha Ruyun very fascinated, and at the same time became nervous.
She feared that she was not qualified to become a monk.
After the "Soul Root" ceremony ended, Qi Shou pretended to ponder for a while, and then said to Sha Ruyun: "The results will come out after a while, wait for me to take a look." ”
After saying that, Qi Shou turned around and walked to the door, Gu Lian knew what Qi Shou meant, and followed out.
"What shall I say?" Qi Shou smiled bitterly.
Sha Ruyun's parents are both monks, so she naturally also has spiritual roots and can become monks.
However, whether you want to become a monk or not, you still have to look at the meaning of mercy.
Gu Lian sighed: "Actually, even if Ruyun doesn't say it herself, I will let you take her away." ”
"My days are numbered."
Gu Lian smiled bitterly: "After I die, in this world, if Ruyun is a mortal and can't protect himself, he will definitely live a very hard life." ”
"If you can, please also ask Monk Qi to take Ruyun away and let her worship the Qingping Sect to cultivate immortals."
"If the spiritual root is not enough, it is okay to go to other sects, but don't enter the demon gate."
"I also bothered Brother Qi to take care of her more."
"Okay." Listening to Gu Lian's words, Qi Shou nodded.
The Immortal Cultivation Realm is cruel, but mortals don't even have the ability to protect themselves.
