Chapter 367: Out of Lingnan at a young age
Chapter 381: Out of Lingnan at a young age
The whole building ship shone with dazzling light, and then slowly rose into the air, the speed began to get faster and faster, and even in just a few breaths, the building ship rose to a height of hundreds of zhang, and dived directly into the Qingyun that was dyed golden by the glimmer of the morning light.
And in a certain corner of Qingyun Mountain, a shadow watched quietly and slowly become smaller, and finally turned into a black dot and disappeared into the clouds, without saying a word for a long time.
"Miss, won't you send it off? The slave thinks that Lin Gongzi may want to see you before leaving. At this time, a female cultivator suddenly spoke up behind Xu Mengyun.
She is Xu Mengyun's personal slave in the mortal world, and she happened to measure the spiritual root and entered the immortal gate, so it can be said that she has followed Xu Mengyun for the longest time.
So she also knows how turbulent her heart is under her master's seemingly calm look.
Xu Mengyun smiled when she heard this, looked at the sky in the distance, and her tone was a little erratic: "No, we have already said goodbye, so there is no need to cry and cry before leaving, and make a childish gesture." ”
"No, miss, are you really willing?!" The female cultivator had a puzzled look on her face, "You can go out with Gongzi Lin!" ”
"yes, I can go out with him, and then what?" Xu Mengyun asked rhetorically, "Then become a burden to him, when he encounters danger, he can't help anything, and he can only watch him go to danger, and even distract from me?" ”
"This ......" the nun was stunned when asked, "No, no, no, with your ability, Miss, ......"
"What can I do?" Xu Mengyun shook her head and laughed at herself, "I don't have peerless talent, nor do I have outstanding fighting talent, although I know some sophistication, but in the outside world where I have no support, I don't have strength, what's the use of these?" ”
"But Miss, you can ask Lin Gongzi for help! He is so capable, there will definitely be a way! The nun seemed to think of something, and hurriedly said.
"yes, so what's next? Everything depends on him, everything needs his help, and in the end, even pin his body and mind on him, what is the difference between that and losing oneself? Xu Mengyun looked at the female cultivator and said word by word, "I, Xu Mengyun, can accept help from others in this life, but I will never allow myself to become a vassal of others!" ”
"It's true that I care about my junior brother, but I hope that I can associate with him as an equal, instead of being a rice worm who only relies on others!"
The nun was silent for a while before she sighed softly, "Miss, you seem to be too proud and too stubborn. ”
Xu Mengyun smiled, did not answer for a while, but quietly looked at the clouds outside the sky.
After a long while, he said softly: "It's not that I'm proud and stubborn, but my junior brother is different from others......"
Xu Mengyun seemed to recall something, and she was a little distracted.
Lin Chen had always thought that the first encounter between them was in that stream, but in fact, they had already met.
A few years ago, when she became an inner disciple, she paid attention to Lin Chen when she was selecting exercises in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.
At that time, whether it was an outer or inner disciple, whether it was a Qi refining period monk or a foundation building period elder, when they came to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, what they pursued was how powerful they were, how fast their cultivation speed was, and how to surpass others' exercises.
But Lin Chen was different, just when all the monks of the same rank were asking the elders how strong this exercise was, Lin Chen was alone among the bookshelves flipping through the classics left by his predecessors, thinking and copying notes.
At that time, Xu Mengyun looked at Lin Chen's delicate face through the bookshelf, that focused demeanor, and there was an inexplicable throbbing in her heart.
Born in a merchant family, and entered the immortal gate, relying on her own exquisite ability, she has seen many people in her life, but no one can have the feeling that Lin Chen gave her.
It is a kind of purity, a kind of purity that belongs exclusively to the seeker, a kind of purity that does not change the original intention in order to pursue the Tao in one's heart, even if it is difficult to go through all kinds of difficulties, even if the hands are stained with countless blood.
You can call him hypocritical, evil, or even a hypocrite, but how many people in this world can have his purity and persistence from beginning to end?
It is said that the good-looking skins are the same, but the interesting soul is one in a thousand, but in this life, how many people can meet the kind of people who do not change their original intentions and seek the Tao wholeheartedly?
"And how long do you think such a person can follow even if you force it? The phoenix can only be followed by the phoenix, and the dragon never cohabits with the snake, even if it is forced, how long can people of different levels stay together? Xu Mengyun shook her head and said.
Then, she seemed to think of something, and a smile appeared on her beautiful face:
"Besides, what I like is him with a pure heart, he who is bent on seeking the truth, if he becomes hesitant because of me, and his children are long, is he still the person I like?"
"This ......" the nun was speechless for a moment, she couldn't understand this complex emotion, she only felt that her young lady was rational but contradictory.
But Xu Mengyun didn't pay attention to her anymore, but looked at the sky in the distance, stunned.
Since they met, befriended, separated, and then gave him silent support behind the scenes for nearly twenty years, and then reunited after a long absence in the war, the story between them is not unforgettable, but it is enough to make people forget.
Many times, they have been together for a long time, each takes what they need, uses each other, and no one depends on anyone, and in the end, even she can't tell herself, is it friendship or love between them?
If it is love, there has never been warmth between them, nor has there been that kind of affection.
If it's friendship, I told each other my innermost thoughts in the middle of the night, and I also had good memories of the two being alone.
The most important thing is the decades of direct or indirect getting along, the kind of tacit understanding between each other, maybe neither of them can say clearly, what is this?
"But none of that matters now."
Xu Mengyun seemed to think of something, a smile appeared on her face again, her expression was full of expectation and determination, she looked at the direction of Lin Chen's departure, and said softly:
"Senior brother, go forward, don't look back, such a peerless romantic person should be eagle in the sky and swim in the seas, instead of being trapped in this small Lingnan land like us, to take care of that little bit of children's affection!"
At this time, on the Lingzhou far away from Lingnan, Lin Chen seemed to sense something, and for some reason, an inexplicable throbbing surged in his heart, and he turned his head sharply and looked at the land that he had lived in for decades from time to now.
At this moment, the spirit boat has flown out of the land of Lingnan, and I don't know what year it will be when I return?
And once this trip is gone, he doesn't know how many hardships and difficulties await him on the road ahead, the pattern of Middle Earth, the future cultivation, the ruins of the ancients, the catastrophe of the end, and the ancient monks who have disappeared into the long river of time...... Everything is unknown.
But it is precisely because everything is unknown that it seems so fascinating.
Inexplicably, Lin Chen seemed to feel something, and whispered:
"When you go out of Lingnan at a young age, when will you go to the immortal gate?"
