Chapter 22 The Plum Tree, the Thousand Years Past
Looking at the familiar but changed temperament of the daughter, Yun Zhiyi and the Weaver Girl felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts, and their emotions were extremely complicated, so they had to comfort themselves a little, at least the worst situation did not happen, but now it is already very good, Yun Qin and her father have lived for a while, and in these days, they have behaved as usual.
Except for this appearance, which is somewhat similar to Qi Wufu, with white hair like frost and snow, it looks as if it has returned to the past, but on this day, Yunqin looked at the clouds, and the clouds rolled over, listening to her father and mother talk about the negotiations in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall until now, but they have not been decided.
It was a matter of the Six Realms, and such a big matter naturally could not be decided easily.
The implications for all parties need to be taken into account.
If it weren't for the fact that the effects of heat death and cold death had not been removed, and were still having a continuous impact on the environment of the Six Realms, it would have been common for this puja to last for decades, or even hundreds of years, before making a decision.
Just when listening to Yun Zhiyi and Weaver Girl talking about these things, Yun Qin suddenly mentioned that he wanted to go to the world for a walk, Yun Zhiyi and Weaver Girl couldn't help but pause when they talked, looking at her worriedly, Yun Qin said softly: "Staying in the Heavenly Realm, it's just in the Zhenwu Mansion, or in the Beidi Palace." ”
"It's better to go to the world to scatter your heart......"
There is no way to find fault with Yunqin's reasons.
Yun Zhiyi and Weaver Girl are actually worried that she will be bored in her life in the heavenly realm, and if she goes out for a walk, although she is alone, it is impossible to eliminate the huge pain in her heart, at least she can feel a little better, Weaver Girl and Yun Zhiyi glanced at each other, Weaver Girl nodded, and said:
“…… Want to go out for a walk? ”
"Of course there's no problem with this, it's just right, my mother hasn't been to the world for a while, and now I'm a little nostalgic, this time my mother will be with you."
Yunqin said softly, "I want to see for myself." ”
Yun Zhiyi and Weaver Girl both quieted down.
The white-haired woman got up, with a smile on her face, and said:
"Dad, mother, you don't have to worry about me."
"I wouldn't do anything stupid, I wouldn't."
So Yun Qin left the Zhenwu Mansion under the slightly worried gaze of Yun Zhiyi and Weaver Girl, they were not worried about the safety of their daughter, although she fell into the love calamity and regressed in cultivation, but her own killing power was not weak, and she was familiar with one of the robbery swords of the Shangqing Daojun, plus the Nether was the place of the Houtu Emperor, but it was very safe.
Yun Zhiyi looked at his daughter going away, looking stunned, playing with the wine cup, for some reason, but he was a little old, but it turned out that aging is not driven by the years, getting older, and the aging of the immortals is because of continuous loss.
When I was young, everything was new, brave and diligent, and there seemed to be a whole world under my eyes, and when I was old, everything I had in the past slowly left melancholy, so I was sad and parted, and gradually melancholy, and finally stood alone in this universe, and I couldn't help but feel cold and old.
This world is huge, the Six Realms are vast, Yunqin is moving in the clouds, she doesn't actually want to relax, just because she stays in Heaven and stays in the True Martial Mansion, it will only make her parents worry more and more about her, it is better to leave, and it will also make her father and mother a little easier.
It's just that when she was young, she was eager to secretly leave the heavenly realm and come to the mortal world to play.
Everything in the world is new to her, interesting, and what she is extremely eager for, and she quietly skips class in her dreams, and then sneaks into the world, goes to the mountains and rivers, and plays everywhere, but at that time, the cultivation is still low, the realm is not enough, and there is nothing to protect herself, and she is strictly guarded by her father and mother, and she can't leave.
And today, her cultivation is growing, mastering the sword, the world is huge, but she can play as she pleases, but she feels a little bored, I don't know where to go, and I don't know where to go is meaningful, so I simply ride the wind, let the wind blow the clouds, and take myself to the front.
After crossing thousands of mountains and rivers, passing through the mountains, I suddenly saw a place, the mountain peaks are very beautiful, the clouds are shining, there is a small town under the mountain, and I live according to this mountain, it seems that the ten days of the sky are too blazing, even if there is the cover of the heavenly realm, and the resistance of the great array of human luck, it still raises the temperature of this world.
At this time, the climate was gradually getting hotter, but this was a high temperature that could not be compared to the midsummer, and it didn't rain much, people were praying for rain over there, and the white-haired woman saw that the people in this town had a thirsty face, so she held down the cloud head and exerted her magical powers.
This is not an orthodox line of clouds and rain, and you don't have to send a letter of order to the Ministry of Thunder first, and you don't need to go to the Ministry of Water.
Just relying on this magical power, the rain fell quickly, and there were bursts of cheers in the town, and Yun Qin noticed that this place was the place where Qi Wufu lived when he was young, and the mountain not far away was Fangcun Mountain, and his mind moved slightly, and the clouds under his feet spread out, and he had fallen in this town.
Covering his body, only step by step, slowly walking in this human town, this town has long been different from a thousand years ago, it has become much more prosperous, and the place occupied is enough, if it is not for some reason, this place is not suitable for expansion into a city, I am afraid that this place has long been chiseled by the disciples of the Mo family The mountain wall was built into a mountain city that relied on this mountain.
Now it's just a big and bustling town.
The white-haired woman thought about the past, and wondered if the young man had walked on this road a thousand years ago, her eyes drooping slightly, as if he was still by her side, and her steps slowed down, and before she knew it, she had walked to the front of a courtyard in the town.
This courtyard is hidden by some kind of supernatural power, and it is difficult for ordinary people to perceive.
The surrounding houses and buildings have been built over the years, very recently popular Mohist style, but this courtyard is simple, as if the years of a thousand years ago turned into amber, so this courtyard and the years experienced in it have been preserved, spread to the present, and the surrounding buildings form a sharp contrast.
Yunqin stretched out her hand and gently pushed the house open, and saw that the courtyard was clean and simple.
A stone table with a plum tree next to it, but the plum tree has never bloomed because of the hot weather.
She paced under the tree, looked at the courtyard in a daze, and stretched out her hand.
The white fingers lightly touched the plum tree, the wind blew, the branches of the plum tree shook slightly, and suddenly the flower bones bloomed, and then they bloomed here, just like in the past.
And in this town, suddenly there was a heavy rain, as if there was a mystery, did not become steaming like a steamer, but let the temperature drop sharply, and suddenly became cooler, people cheered loudly, and a young girl thought of one thing, the plum tree that has been handed down from the ancestors and is to be protected from generation to generation must be taken care of.
So she became an umbrella, and she hurried under the rain, but she had walked many times on this road, but she was skillful, dexterous and brisk, and she could easily avoid small and hidden puddles of water, and could shelter from the rain on the road covered by the eaves.
Finally, he walked to the courtyard that was covered by the formation, looked at the clean clothes on his body, and was quite proud, and hummed briskly.
Then he untied the formation, pushed the door open, and muttered with a little concern:
"Ancestors bless, ancestors bless, don't let this plum tree be beaten by the rain and the branches and leaves......" They have been protecting this place for thousands of years, since she was young, the protection of this plum tree, it is more important than to her, she didn't understand it at that time, but now that she is getting older, and I have read more classic records, I am a little worried, and I naturally value this matter.
The girl pushed open the door, but she was greeted by the fragrance of flowers, and she was slightly stunned.
His eyes widened.
Plum blossoms fall in the wind!
In front of the house, the cold plum blossoms are like snow, scattered in the wind, the cold plum blossoms bloom in this summer, it is already a unique scene, and in this plum blossom rain falls, but there is a stunning color, white hair is like frost and snow, the black robe is pure, it is a peerless woman she has never seen stretched out her hand, and then this plum blossom, she turned her eyes slightly, her eyes are deep, as if there is sadness.
Gentle voice:
"Are you ......?"
The stunned girl recognized that this woman who suddenly appeared here was absolutely extraordinary, and subconsciously bowed and replied: "The junior of the Lingnan Su family, whose name is Su Qiaomei, has seen the seniors. ”
Yunqin muttered to herself: "Lingnan Su family ......"
I think it's a family of cultivators.
Su Qiaomei said cautiously: "Senior, I don't know ...... here."
Yun Qin smiled and said gently: "Come back and see, why do you know how to come in?" ”
Su Qiaomei said: "This formation was laid by the ancestors of my family, and it is a message passed down by the ancestors of the Su family, asking us to guard this tree from generation to generation." ”
Yun Qin asked, "Is this tree Hanmei so important?" ”
Su Qiaomei said: "Are the seniors here to take the exam?" Since you came here to enjoy the plum blossoms, you must know that this cold plum is a thousand years ago the world's famous Taoist predecessors, its Qi surname is secretive, sweeping the world, the name of all parties, this cold plum, is planted by his old man when he was young. ”
"This is where his old man lived when he was young, and I heard that Senior Qi has ascended to immortality."
The common people only knew that the one who saved the world in the Outer Heaven was the Zhongtian North Pole True Martial Demon Emperor.
But who the emperor was, he never told the Quartet.
So Su Qiaomei didn't know that the senior in her mouth had fallen, and there was still expectation in her eyes, and she said:
"The seniors don't know if they will come back to see this plum blossom, so our family, generations are very important here, and the younger generations have also seen the genealogy, saying that the senior was in my family before entering the Tao, and he was able to read and write under the ancestor of my family, the one who was the saint of Shengyuan, and there was this trace of incense."
"The talent of the Holy Patriarch is overflowing, but it is too late to hear the Tao, and throughout his life, he assisted Emperor Taizu Wen in making meritorious contributions, and came back here after the age of 100, and he died at the age of one hundred and thirty.
"The children of the Su family will not enter this world, but guarding this tree and cold plum, they will not cut off the incense."
Yun Qin smiled gently: "Is it for the sake of future generations, but also to guard this cold plum?" ”
Su Qiaomei said embarrassedly:
"The younger generation also thought so before, so I thought that the Holy Patriarch would be too utilitarian, and he didn't like this decision all the time, but later the younger generation looked through the books of the Holy Patriarch, and found that he had learned his kung fu and principles very deeply, and he was able to retreat bravely, not such a person."
"Later, I found the ancestor's last letter, only to find out that it was not, and the ancestor also said the second half of the sentence."
She looked solemn and said:
"As long as the incense of the Su family continues, future generations must come here to guard this Hanmei, guard this house, and maintain the appearance of thousands of years ago, without renovation or change."
"The ancestor said that the earthly world is like a stream of water, constantly walking forward, the more you practice, the higher the realm, the longer your lifespan, but all kinds of things in this earthly world are changing with each passing day, and one day, everything that the Immortal Dao Monarch is familiar with will disappear."
"When I opened my eyes that day, I was surrounded by no familiar people, no familiar scenery, where I went, who I saw, I respectfully called him a senior, and in the end, even his favorite dishes would be lost, so he seemed to be abandoned by the world and the times."
"Maybe the immortals are like this, gradually becoming inhuman."
"Dazhenjun once called him a master."
"The Great True Monarch is the master of the world."
"But the ancestor of Shengyuan is not his master alone, the master is going to die, and he must leave a little candlelight for his disciples, even if it is weak, I hope to let Dazhenjun know that his era has not gone far, and before the teacher leaves, he will leave him a lamp."
"Although it is faint, it is enough to illuminate every inch and warm for a while."
When Su Qiaomei said this, she was serious, obviously reciting the letter of the master Su Shengyuan thousands of years ago, but she said: "This is the idea of the younger generation a few years ago, and there are some other understandings over the years." ”
The white-haired peerless woman smiled slightly: "Oh? What is it? ”
Su Qiaomei looked at the plum blossom and said, "The world is chasing profit and fame, how much short-sighted; The Holy Ancestor was worried that after he left, after a few years, the descendants of the Su family would forget about this matter, or use this matter for profit, so he said that this plum tree could protect the Su family for thousands of years, so that the ancestors from generation to generation, even if they were ridiculous and extravagant, did not dare to slack off on this plum tree. ”
"But I can see it."
The girl had bright light brown apricot eyes and said with a smile: "How good this plum blossom is." ”
"There is the stirring of legends thousands of years ago, as well as the teacher's care for students, and the painstaking efforts of the ancestors of Shengyuan, which has witnessed a thousand years of time and many generations of people."
"As for the incense that doesn't go out or something."
"But prosperity and decline are the laws of all things."
"Unless it's the Great True Monarch who comes, but he hasn't been here once."
The white-haired woman smiled, looking at the plum blossom, the grief hidden in her heart was still rich in her eyes, she stretched out her hand to caress the flower tree, and said softly: "You said, before he entered the Tao, he was a student of your ancestor?" ”
Su Qiaomei nodded, and said proudly:
"The ancestor of my family, the daughter of the Holy Patriarch, is almost engaged to this senior!"
The white-haired woman looked at the plum tree and said, "Do you know the story before he entered the Tao?" ”
Su Qiaomei wondered, shouldn't everyone else care about the story after entering the Tao?
But she still nodded: "I know! ”
The white-haired woman picked a plum blossom and put it on the center of the girl's eyebrows, her fingers were slightly cool and delicate, pressed it in the center of the eyebrows, and smiled, but the smile still seemed to be a little sad, pointed to the stone table, and said, "If you have time, can you tell me the story of his time?" ”
"I'm curious."
Su Qiaomei was puzzled, and then immediately agreed, and the white-haired woman sat under the plum tree.
The girl reminisced a little, and began to skillfully tell the past pictures in the dossier, telling the legend that when she was young and did not enter the Tao, day by day, the wooden door was closed, and the scenery was closed, and the people outside came and went, the red dust was as old as before, and they were happy to talk about the rain falling today, but it was cool, but there was a good time.
Separated by a door, clean and dusty, red dust crowds.
Only plum blossoms fall, like quiet spring rain.
Just like a thousand years ago.
