Chapter 12: A Farewell Path
In the Baipan Mountain, Weng Zhiting was worried that the two immortal cultivators would turn back, and after discussing with Yun Qian, he used the moonlight to move a hidden place where the rocks were rising.
Yun Qian leaned against the turbulent stone and asked, "Senior, can immortals really live forever?" I've heard that the monks who practice at Liankong Temple are all trying to ascend to bliss and enjoy eternal life. ”
Weng Zhiting pondered: "I don't know if immortals can live forever, but it's true that they can live longer. Liankong Temple has not heard of it, if it is a Buddhist temple around this mountain area, it should be based on cultivating the mind, which is a little different from cultivating the truth and seeking immortals, of course, there may also be hermit masters to live in. ”
Yun Qian bowed his head in disappointment and groaned.
Weng Zhiting probably guessed what Yun Qian thought, but he didn't want to talk deeply, so he simply diverted the conversation: "Xiao Qian, the purple pendant you wear is very special, can you tell me its origin?" ”
Yun Qian didn't hide it privately, and took off the pendant from his underwear: "This is the talisman left for me by my father, and it is said that it was opened by the master of Liankong Temple." ”
Weng Zhiting looked suspiciously: "Give this pendant?" Aren't they usually only consecrating the statue of the Jade Buddha? ”
Yun Qian smiled bitterly: "Don't hide it from my predecessors, my family used to be quite rich, so my father and mother gave some incense money and asked the monk to do the Dharma in private." It was only later that my father and mother began to spread their wealth for some reason, and now the family is a little poor, which made me come to Lushoucheng to learn the ability to do business, and I can support myself when I grow up. ”
Weng Zhiting nodded with a smile: "So your family can be regarded as a good person, so have your parents talked about the origin of this thing?" ”
Strange why the seniors kept asking Xiang Shen, Yun Qian shook his head and asked: "I didn't mention it, my father and mother don't seem to want to talk about its origin." Is there anything wrong? ”
Due to the privacy involved, Weng Zhiting was still worried about whether to continue to explore, but he couldn't resist the curiosity: "You were hit by an ice spike on a tree before, can you remember." ”
"Well, it scared the hell out of me, and it still hurts in my chest now." Yun Qian remembered that time, and still had palpitations.
Weng Zhiting smiled: "If you hit someone, it's not just a matter of being scared. The strength of the ice spike is very fast, this necklace pendant seems to be fragile, but it can block the remaining strength, without any damage, presumably the texture is abnormally hard. And the ice spike is also fatal, when it touches something, it will immediately freeze into ice, and it will be cold to the bone, and I will also suffer from it. But by the time I found you, the ice had melted, and you were only a little frostbitten, indicating that it could still protect itself from the cold. In addition to these two places, there is one of the most difficult things for me to understand, which is that it sucks human blood. ”
Yun Qian heard that Xiang Shen would suck blood, so a clever person threw Xiang Shen on the ground and looked at Weng Zhiting nervously.
Weng Zhiting laughed and said, "Blame me for not making it clear." At that time, you were still unconscious, and when you pushed the blood, some of them splashed on the pendant, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. I thought it was strange, so I tried again on my own initiative, and even used my own blood to dot on it, but there was no response, presumably only in special circumstances will suck blood, so I didn't remind you. ”
It turned out that when he didn't know, this senior actually tested his pendant with the blood test of the two. Yun Qian couldn't help but stare at this senior.
Weng Zhiting was a little embarrassed: "Actually, I have done some treasure appreciation camps before, and when I see new things, I am used to always wanting to investigate them, so I made a try." Since you don't know, forget it. Hurry up and rest, I will keep vigil in the evening, and I will leave early tomorrow to try to get out of the mountain. ”
Yun Qian put away the pendant and discussed it with Weng Zhiting: "The senior is injured, why don't you let me come, if there is any trouble, I will wake you up immediately." ”
Weng Zhiting replied casually: "I am used to meditating and recuperating, and I don't delay rest, you are still young, you should not waste your energy, hurry up and rest." ”
Yun Qian knew that some powerful masters could not sleep, and there was a look of envy on his face, and he probably learned from him to sit cross-legged and rest. Weng Zhiting felt that this child was really interesting, so he gave him a little pointer on how to cross his legs. Yun Qian barely finished his legs, but he insisted on less than half a cup of tea, only feeling that his whole body was sore and sleepy, so he simply gave up meditation and fell asleep on his side.
Waiting for Yun Qian to fall asleep slowly, Weng Zhiting raised his head and looked at the full moon in the sky.
The moon disk shines like a mirror on people's hearts, the eyes are gradually blurred, and the Che Yue in his hand does not know when it will be untied, taking advantage of the moonlight, the sword body echoes a faint silver light. Weng Zhiting looked down at Che Yue, and muttered to himself like a dream: "Liyang, don't you still want to see me again." ”
Mirror Moon Pei Hui is difficult to solve his sorrow, and the lonely shadow is full of lovesickness.
Until the bright moon gradually dawned and the blue birds sang in the morning, Weng Zhiting raised his head and looked at the mountains and forests, waiting for his mood to calm down, and then woke up Yun Qian to prepare for the journey. Yun Qian was a little sleepy-eyed, but he didn't dare to snooze, so he walked around the Tu Shi twice with his spirit before he was awake.
Weng Zhiting picked up the sword box: "I'll lead the way today, you follow closely." ”
Yun Qian felt that it might be that the mountain air was cold, and this senior's tone was much calmer than yesterday's, so he didn't think about it, and followed behind in small steps to slow down his spirit.
There were few stops on the road, Yun Qian took the opportunity to collect drinking water to inquire about the injuries of his seniors, Weng Zhiting casually explained that he had wound medicine with him, and after a night of cultivation, his basic actions were no longer hindered. But after walking for three or four hours, Yun Qian found that Weng Zhiting's speed was gradually slowing down, and he still said worriedly: "If the senior's injury has not healed, let the junior open the way." ”
Weng Zhiting shook his head: "My injuries are fine, but there are traces of mountain bandits nearby, and it is estimated that they still refuse to give up." We can avoid them as much as we can, and if we can't, we can only kill them. At that time, you should be careful to protect yourself, and do not be strong. ”
Yun Qian, who had never been in a fight before, looked nervous and uneasy, wondering if it would be better to change to a thicker wooden stick. Weng Zhiting said softly: "Let's take a look first, and then be careful." ”
Yun Qian nodded in response, but on the way, he still changed a wooden stick, and carried two more hard stones in his arms. After Zhou Zhou turned around and dived for half an hour, Weng Zhiting suddenly stopped: "Xiaoqian, there should be someone in front of you who is ambushing, intending to block our way out." If you take a detour, you can only go back, which will only increase the danger. I'll go and lead them away, and you'll not move here. After about a cup of tea, go straight south, you should be able to get out of the mountain soon, and then try to take the main road, make fewer stops, and rest again in the city. ”
Yun Qian asked back: "Senior, what should you do?" Wouldn't it be too dangerous. ”
Weng Zhiting was confident: "Don't worry, since I can find them, it will be fine, and when I get rid of them, I will find a way to notify the government to put down this gang of mountain bandits and get rid of future troubles forever." ”
Yun Qian didn't know what kind of 'notice' he was talking about, so he just asked, "Then how do we meet?" ”
"It is fate that you and I know each other and save each other, I am going to be in a shaky direction, and I may not see each other again in the future." Weng Zhiting shook his head slowly.
The five flavors are mixed, but it is also in line with the mind at this time. Speaking of which, they have only known each other for two days, but their experience during this time is profound, and this predecessor has outstanding demeanor and outstanding martial arts, which makes Yun Qian admire him. At this moment, when he heard that he was about to leave, he just bowed his head and said nothing.
Weng Zhiting wanted to leave, but seeing that Yun Qian was lonely, after thinking about it, he took out a thumb-sized milky white prism from his arms, untied it and carved the word 'less' on one side, and carved the word 'hoove' (Yinhu) on the other side, and handed it to Yun Qian: "This stone is counted as a parting memorial, you keep it, just like the pendant, don't let others see it, so as not to cause trouble." If you encounter insoluble difficulties in the future, you can go to the shop with a goose-shaped plaque and give it to the person in charge, which will be of some help. ”
The white crystal is angular, but the tentacles are warm. Yun Qian shook his spirit, and cherished the prism into his arms: "Thank you seniors." ”
Weng Zhiting patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction, turned around and walked forward. A moment later the sound of weapons cluding came from the south, followed by shouting, then drifting away and returning to silence.
Yun Qian waited in place uncomfortably. Silently estimated a cup of tea, took a deep breath, picked up the stick, and tiptoed into the mountains and forests.
Along the way, he was nervous, and he stopped immediately when he heard the sound, and only after confirming that no one was there before sneaking again. After a long time, he suddenly saw a road, and his heart was clouded, and he threw away the stick in his hand and began to run, and then ran faster and faster, and ran more and more quickly, trying to avoid this mountain forest.
Until the physical strength was unbearable, I finally saw the Lushou City Gate, the dirt road and the green forest, and the cicadas were idle. Looking at this town that was not unfamiliar, Yun Qian suddenly felt lonely, turned around and glanced at the Baipan Mountains and Forests again, and walked back to Lushou City quietly.
The city is still bustling, and passers-by see a scruffy teenager walking through the downtown streets, and habitually want to take a second look. Yun Qian felt uncomfortable, and sped up his pace again, until the long street where Junxing's pawnshop was located. Carefully untied the purple jade pendant around his waist and walked to the pawnshop. As soon as I entered the pawnshop, I was discovered by the Dou Ping on duty, and walked over in surprise: "Aren't you going home, how did you get this virtue?" ”
Yun Qian replied calmly: "Something happened, is Du Chongshan in the pawnshop?" ”
As soon as these words came out, even the courtiers on duty were a little surprised, and Dou Ping hurriedly pulled Yunqian aside: "What's wrong with you, what's going on." ”
"It's a long story, is he in the pawnshop?" Yun Qian didn't want to say more, and asked again.
Dou Ping didn't dare to joke, and replied cautiously: "He went back to his hometown, and the shopkeeper went out to carry the goods (bargaining), and the shopkeeper was behind." ”
"Okay, do you have anything to eat? You find me some, I'm hungry. After Yun Qian finished speaking, he walked straight to the backyard.
Dou Ping didn't know why, he was afraid that he would make trouble, so he hurriedly followed, and the court in the back also stopped Dou Ping and wanted to ask Dou Ping, but he waved his hand and mixed it up.
When he arrived at the door, Yun Qian ignored Dou Ping's obstruction, and shouted loudly: "Auntie can be in the house, junior Yun Qian, please see me." ”
Dou Ping was helpless, standing tightly on his side, if Yun Qian did something out of the ordinary, he would be able to improvise.
Du Chonghua in the house was making clothes for the shopkeeper Lu, and was a little surprised when he heard Yun Qian's voice, so he walked out: "It's a little nephew, come on, come in." Hey, didn't you go home, how did you become like this? ”
Yun Qian bowed and said, "The junior has something to discuss with you. ”
Du Chonghua saw that he was so solemn that he couldn't refuse to go out of the door, so he invited him in. The later Dou comment was about to follow up, but was blocked by Yun Qian: "Brother Dou, I'll tell you later, you help me find something to eat first." ”
Dou Ping was annoyed: "You're still looking for food, your posture is obviously looking for something." ”
