Chapter 33: The April Flowers and the Man Who Turned
Probably as the grass for the firefly said, the world is like a platter of fruits.
So you can eat whatever you want.
Chen Qingshan was still sitting by the stream in a daze, of course, being in a daze was not necessarily really in a daze.
It can also be recuperation.
This Taoist is naturally injured.
It's just that because I'm a little short-sighted, when I sit there, I look a little blind, as if I'm in a daze.
Zhang Lizi finally touched the first trace of qi, and ran to the stream very excitedly, looking at his master.
"Master, if I touch that trace of qi, does it mean that I am about to enter the Tao?"
Chen Qingshan glanced back at Zhang Lizi and hit her very ruthlessly.
"It's not even close."
Zhang Lizi silently lowered her head and said in a low voice, "Okay then." β
I also realized that such words were a bit hurtful, so Chen Qingshan smiled again and said, "Actually, it's also very good, most people in the world don't even have a sense of qi." β
Zhang Lizi said softly: "But I'm not a disciple of Shanheguan? Will it be a shame for Kanri in the future? β
Chen Qingshan turned his head back and said calmly: "This kind of thing of losing face has never been a matter of one person. What's more, in addition to the fact that the former Guanzong has a good reputation, it also has no face. β
"Ever?"
Zhang Lizi asked.
"Yes, it was." Chen Qingshan looked up at somewhere behind the green mountains and forests, and smiled.
"Because the current Guan Sect is probably the one with the worst reputation, even worse than our River Sect."
This River Sect Daoist said with a sigh.
"After all, we, the River Sect, have never thought of causing chaos in the world. But they contemplated it. β
Zhang Lizi nodded as if she didn't understand.
"So, Master, what are you doing?"
Chen Qingshan listened to this question, sat there quietly for a long time, and then said lightly: "What do you think of the world?" β
Zhang Lizi didn't know why Chen Qingshan suddenly asked such a question, thought about it, and said, "The world is very good, and it has been moving forward." β
"Yes." Chen Qingshan said softly, "But they are still not enough, the world is walking too slowly, and many things, even in Huaidu, are in a state of accumulation." Although the world always says that Huaidu can suppress half of the cultivation world, if you really exclude Your Majesty, the Heavenly Hell, the Demon Clan, and many other things that do not belong to the world, do you think they can really suppress half of the cultivation world? β
This is naturally impossible.
It's just that Zhang Lizi, who is just a little girl in Shanyue, doesn't understand these things, so she just shakes her head blankly.
Chen Qingshan said calmly: "So we are balancing the world. β
Zhang Lizi said thoughtfully: "So that's the case? β
The green pepper not far away laughed coldly.
Chen Qingshan ignored her.
It's probably like the first song that Le Chaotian played with the boy under the umbrella.
Onlookers clapped their hands and laughed wildly, what does it matter if they are sparse, why is it crazy or crazy?
The Taoist simply continued, "At the same time, we also need to balance ourselves. β
"What do you mean?"
Zhang Lizi asked puzzled.
Chen Qingshan said seriously: "We always stay sober - that is such a thing, which is right but also sinful. β
Zhang Lizi turned his head to look at the red-clothed sword cultivator of the East China Sea who had been obsessed with killing Chen Qingshan.
Therefore, those cold sneers represent the sinful part of what this Taoist has done.
Chen Qingshan has never refuted any cold words about what he has done in his life.
He just boasted that he was a little saint and a true immortal.
Immortals naturally carry sins.
There is no conflict between the two.
Just like the monk of Ami Temple back then, he killed a city to sacrifice ghosts and gods in exchange for the peace of the River Styx.
There are no absolutes.
There is life and death, there is right and wrong.
The two of them were talking there, but Gu Wenzhi, the young Taoist who had had a relationship with each other and would not have come here, walked over with some anger.
"Chen Qingshan, what about the people of the River Sect?"
With such momentum, if you don't agree with each other, you have to do the things of brothers, friends and brothers.
Chen Qingshan raised his eyes and glanced at himβin fact, it was the same whether he could see it or not, he couldn't see it clearly anyway.
"I've gone to the Liuyun Sword Sect."
Before the words fell, Qingxi turned into a mountain and river, and a finger came suddenly.
Chen Qingshan raised his hand calmly, and his whole body flowed, stopping the mountains and rivers with a finger, and the mountain wind was stagnant.
The black-robed Taoist looked at the junior brother who was only three stacks, and said indifferently: "If you don't have enough talent, you have to practice hard, instead of learning to fight and kill outside the senior brothers." β
Gu Wenzhi is a member of the Mountain Sect, and Chen Qingshan is a former great disciple of the Mountain Sect, and the gap between the two is naturally quite significant.
Probably among the young disciples of the Mountain Sect, only Zhang Xiaoyu can compete with Chen Qingshan.
Gu Wenzhi withdrew his hand with a pale face, and the Taoist was all over the knuckles of the Taoist, but it was a little hideously twisted.
It's just that something like anger, even if there is only a skeleton left, can be seen from the form.
"What the hell do you want to do? Do you really want to fight with the Flowing Cloud Sword Sect? β
Chen Qingshan was very calm and raised his eyes to look at Gu Wenzhi.
"Any questions?"
"So that's what you said, the River Sect won't let the world be in chaos?"
Chen Qingshan chuckled lightly and looked down at Qingxi.
"So after all, it is still too pedantic to come out of the hanging courtyard. Gu Wenzhi, I don't believe you can't see that there is a problem with the Liuyun Sword Sect. β
Gu Wenzhi was silent for a while, and said softly: "Yes, but I don't think it should be solved in this way." β
Chen Qingshan raised his eyebrows and said, "Then how do you think it should be solved?" With ten thousand taels of gold, go to the mountains, and ask a certain sword cultivator, is he the mastermind behind everything? Or go to the gate and ask Li Shi, who does Guanzong rely on to do these things in the world? β
Gu Wenzhi fell silent.
"It's easiest to get into a fight, break those clouds, and go in the night rain to see what they're doing."
Chen Qingshan looked at Gu Wenzhi quietly.
"Otherwise, do you think I don't want to live so much, and I must kill people in the Flowing Cloud Sword Sect? Although I also admit that the view of mountains and rivers does not have a good reputation, the sewage in the world should not only be on us, but the place of one view cannot mess up the whole world. In a way, you should thank me, thank the River Sect for trying to pick out a lot of things, so that your Mountain Sect can carry some clear name. β
"I, Chen Qingshan, am not afraid of wading in muddy water, what is there to be afraid of when you stand on the shore?"
"You'd better be quiet, go and simmer your master, it's too loud, and if you make a noise with the senior brother outside the gate, you may not be able to get out of some siege alive."
Gu Wenzhi looked at this former senior brother of the Mountain Sect in silence.
Chen Qingshan was injured, maybe someone like Zhang Lizi couldn't see it, but it was impossible for him Gu Wenzhi not to see it.
Those injuries came from some sword cultivators, and also from some Taoists.
Some are deep, some are light.
But there is no doubt that what this senior brother has experienced in the human world is naturally not as plain as when he came back.
After a long time, Gu Wenzhi said slowly: "Are you measured?" β
Chen Qingshan turned his head and said calmly: "The people of the River Sect have always been measured, and they can kill one person, and they will definitely not kill more. β
The East China Sea Sword Cultivator who followed Chen Qingshan with killing intent all the way was probably the best example.
The person from the River Sect who chased and killed a certain teenager in Nanyi City is also a good example.
"So they'll only kill the people of the Liuyun Sword Sect there."
"It's nothing more than tearing your face and seeing whose robe is hiding under the dark night of the world."
Taoist people probably always act in a measured manner.
Gu Wenzhi stood by the stream for a long time, and then looked deeply at the black-robed Taoist and said slowly, "Senior brother, it's better to be like this. β
Chen Qingshan said lightly: "Otherwise? People in the world may not know how to view mountains and rivers, and you are also a person in the view, don't you know? β
Gu Wenzhi didn't say anything more, glanced at the little girl from Shanyue City who was a little frightened, and turned around and left silently.
Zhang Lizi was naturally frightened.
Sitting by the stream, suddenly a Taoist came, and before he finished his two sentences, he started fighting.
Fortunately, although Chen Qingshan was seriously injured, his realm was also extremely high.
That finger of mountains and rivers will break open in an instant and end in a hurry.
Chen Qingshan glanced back at Zhang Lizi, and after thinking about it for a long time, he probably couldn't find any reason to excuse his brothers, friends, and brothers, so he said very sincerely: "Just get used to it." β
Zhang Lizi said softly: "Okay." β
The conversation between the two, this little girl from Shanyue City naturally understood better.
So what made Chen Qingshan's people from the River Sect go to the Liuyun Sword Sect?
Zhang Lizi remembered the day she steamed fish.
......
Xu Chunhua opened the steaming drawer, took out the steamed fish, and kept pinching her ears when she was hot, and then she felt that the temperature of her fingertips had dropped a lot.
Although she has been a cook here for a long time, this small town girl still often forgets that she can't just pick it up with her hands.
While people at home, often do this.
But this is in the middle of a restaurant.
I touched the hot porcelain plate at home, and I spilled it if I missed it.
But in this kind of place, sometimes it will bring a lot of trouble, such as the guest has been waiting for a long time, Xiao Er is very embarrassed and runs over and says, I'm sorry guest officer, your fish has just been overturned and is being steamed for you.
If you encounter a bad temper, it will probably be a scolding.
Xu Chunhua rubbed her hands, picked up the tongs and put the dishes on the serving plate, and then looked around, fortunately, the kitchen was very busy, and everyone probably didn't notice it, otherwise they would have to scold.
Xu Chunhua thought very happily, and walked out with the plate in the back, handed the plate to Xiao Er there at the door of the back kitchen, walked back, and continued to be busy, although Xu Chunhua can also cook, but the skill is probably enough to be a chef in a restaurant, so naturally he is busy processing the raw materials of the dishes, or doing some chores.
It was a busy day until late, and the town girl finally took off her apron and left the restaurant tired.
The long street in the world is still extremely lively and bright, exuding infinite light in the night.
Just like the night Chen He left.
Although Xu Chunhua no longer takes the initiative to think about such a young man who doesn't know why he left suddenly, sometimes when she sees that similar scenery, she still subconsciously thinks of that person.
It was the young man who drove a tattered car that took her to see Huaidu for the first time.
Whether it is clouds and rivers in the rain, it is good to flourish like splendid mountain flowers.
At the first sight of those scenes, there was naturally the shadow of such a young man.
So when I see those things, I can't help but think of a lot of things.
Xu Chunhua stopped on the long street, and under her feet was the calm earth, there was still a world under the earth, and there was still a world on the earth.
Everything is brilliant and brightly lit.
The woman from the town stood quietly, letting the April wind blow.
I didn't wear a floral dress, nor did I hold a small white umbrella. Just like an ordinary passer-by, he stood there and watched the night scene of Huaidu for a long time.
In fact, Xu Chunhua hasn't seen it for a long time.
Chen He left some money, which he saved by selling teppanyaki tofu.
It is enough for Xu Chunhua to live in this capital city for a long time.
But the small-town girl kept herself busy.
He didn't look up, but looked down at the road beneath his feet, and watched how the ever-changing slate changed from some wet in the early morning to shining in the night.
So naturally, she didn't go to find the Daoist who suddenly left from Qingtian Dao again.
She felt guilty of conscience.
Three years is still a long time anyway.
People always have to slowly come back from the wrong path by chance, so that they can calmly face many things in the past.
Xu Chunhua stood there for a long time, and then found her way through the streets of Huaidu and headed towards such an alley.
It's just that for some reason, this small town girl feels that the atmosphere in the city today seems to be a little weird.
People look strange and hurried, as if they are looking for something.
Xu Chunhua stopped and went, not knowing what was going on.
Of course, she knows that this year is not a peaceful time.
For example, the rift between the two races is gradually growing.
For example, a big sword cultivator died.
It's just that something like that, falling into her story, is as distant as some very unreal legend.
Between the two, there is a huge difference in the world.
Xu Chunhua walked on the road for a while before she understood what had happened.
I heard that there are many swords that have been cultivated into Huaidu.
Is it related to that great sword cultivator who died in the world?
Xu Chunhua thought a little confused.
I heard that that person was killed by His Majesty today, and there is also a theory that he fought with His Majesty and finally died at the hands of one of his own rebellious disciples.
That person's name is Zhang Xiaoyu.
This name made Xu Chunhua feel very kind when she heard it.
Such a name has a very human flavor.
It's not like Kamigawa, and it's not like the sword cultivator called Cong Blade.
Of course, in that kind of story, even if it is called Xu Xiaoyu, it is an extremely distant and unpredictable story after all.
However, Xu Chunhua didn't think about whether to call Zhang Xiaoyu or Li Xiaoyu or Xu Xiaoyu now.
It's just a little worried, no wonder people are in such a hurry, are they afraid that those sword cultivators are here to seek revenge?
Huaidu should not be greatly affected.
Xu Chunhua thought silently for a long time, then hesitated, and followed the flow of people who were going in a certain direction all the way.
In such a strange atmosphere, probably even the lights in those nights were much quieter.
Xu Chunhua walked all the way until she came to a long street in the east of the city, and then stopped.
All are looking at one place.
Xu Chunhua also looked up with them.
Just one glance, the small town girl was shocked.
That's the Huaidu slanted platform.
At nightfall, such a high platform rises on the very high point of such a capital.
The long street near the inclined platform, from top to bottom, was crowded with people from all over the world, and everyone raised their heads and looked up at the high platform in the flourishing lights.
In the past, there were always some people drinking wine and admiring the moon, but today there are none.
Yes, it was just that countless overflows almost suppressed those star-moon-colored sword lights, and many sword cultivators sitting with swords in their handsβno one could name them.
It's just that when some sword cultivators can't be named, the world naturally knows where those people come from.
And in the distance, countless golden-patterned black-robed people were slowly approaching in the gradually parting flow of people, and the first one was a tall man.
Xu Chunhua vaguely remembered that she seemed to have seen that person.
It was when I was passing by the Heavenly Prison when I saw him and a gray-haired old man smiling and talking something.
He still seems to be smiling today.
It's just that maybe it's too far away, and this small-town girl can't really see it.
This small town girl watched such a farce that attracted Huaidu's attention from a distance, and she didn't know what was going on.
It was only when the small-town girl once again withdrew her gaze from the people of Heaven who came from the lights of the long street in the distance, and looked towards a sloping platform.
The whole person's eyes widened instantly, revealing a look of extreme surprise.
On the earth, under the high platform, on a hanging street somewhere, a Taoist was standing there in a daze, his eyes were falling to the world, through countless lights and the world, falling on the dazed and tired town girl.
Mei Xiyu felt that there must be a lot of crystal things in her eyes.
April is also a good time to bloom.
So that kind of flower really took root and sprouted in spring after the winter snow, and bloomed far away into such a huge capital.
"Xu ......"
Mei Xiyu's name just said a surname, and then stopped in a daze.
Because he saw that in the midst of the lights and tides of the world, the girl from the small town was surprised, and quickly took on a very complicated look, and then withdrew some smiles, and gradually lowered her eyes with wide eyes, and then turned around and walked towards the flow of people without looking back.
This Daoist, who was also alarmed by the movement of the Sword Sect, stood there in a daze, and in that moment, he saw the woman's countless dodging glances.
Shouldn't it be running towards him with a smile and saying, 'You see the flowers bloom so well in April, and so do I'?
Mei Xiyu stood there in silence for a long time.
Xu Chunhua was silent for a long time.
There is a very touching dialogue in the world, which falls in Huaidu.
......
"The Human Sword Sect came from afar, what happened?"
"What about Kamigawa?"
......
But Xu Chunhua didn't have the heart to listen.
......
