Chapter Twenty-Three: Even the Shadow Will Leave You
Time moves like flowing water, crossing Mingyu's fingertips, seven days in the blink of an eye. I saw Mingyu standing with his legs bowed next to the spring under the night sky, waving his arms rhythmically.
The wisps of water snake in his hand swirled and danced, and finally turned into a water ball the size of a leather ball. Mingyu threw it into the air with all his might.
"Break it for me!"
shouted loudly, only to see the water balloon explode with a bang. The sky is full of light and rain, and the water droplets fall to the ground.
"Alas, I still think it's safe to dig a ditch. Mingyu shook his head and said with a sad face.
"You kid, do you still dare to fight this idea? believe it or not, I flayed you alive?" still came from behind Mingyu.
After Mingyu got used to this elusive partridge sky, he was not surprised: "Are you here?" I think I may have to live here for a year and a half. ”
"Hmph, so unconfident, this is not like you" Partridge Tian paused, in fact, you are already very good, you can learn to control qi in such a short time. ”
"Oh, is it? It's not easy to get you to praise it, but ...... It's too slow, I'm ~ homesick" Mingyu looked at the twinkling starlight in the sky.
"Where's your home?" said Partridge with interest.
"My home is far away, but I can't find my way home. Mingyu lowered his head and lay down in the grass.
"How far away can it be?~ But no matter how far away, as long as you have enough strength, you can travel anywhere in this vast universe at will. Partridge Sky said, "It's not like me." ”
"You, Uncle Partridge, where is your home?" Mingyu asked the partridge who was standing beside Mingyu curiously.
"My home, hehe, is long gone, all of it is gone, just because, I don't have the strength to protect. Partridge Sky laughed miserably.
"You are so strong, you can't protect it? ”
Partridge Sky didn't speak, just stared at the sky.
"Do you drink? Mingyu took the kettle from his waist and raised it up and asked.
"Yo, where did you come from, that shocking cloud secretly sent it?" said Partridge Tian, taking the kettle and sitting next to Mingyu and drinking it in a big gulp.
"It's also Jingyun who knows about this back mountain. Mingyu paused, "Uncle Shi has a lot of stories, can you tell me about it?"
"The story is very long, I don't want to remember. Partridge said lightly.
Mingyu scratched his head in embarrassment and said with interest: "Actually, everyone has their own secrets, and I have them too." ”
When Partridge heard this, he laughed inexplicably, "Hahaha, the secret? I can only accept all of this alone. ”
"No, Uncle Shi, and me," Mingyu smiled awkwardly again, "Even if there is no me, don't forget, there is still your shadow, your shadow, it will accompany you for a lifetime." ”
"Shadow?" said Partridge Sky as he took a sip of wine, "You have to know that even the shadow will leave you in the darkest places, and sometimes you will be alone. Partridge Tian stood up, turned to leave, and threw the flask to Mingyu.
This time he walked very slowly, step by step, very slowly. can only space this not wide shoulders and not high back, it seems to be so majestic, but ~ so vicissitudes
"In the darkest place, the shadows will leave you" Mingyu was left alone, drinking wine and looking at the stars, muttering.
......
The next morning, the night broke. When a touch of fish belly white is revealed in the air.
I saw a man with a childish face waving his arms vigorously and shouting loudly one after another.
......
"You gave him all this?" a handsome man stood beside Partridge Sky. This person is the lord of the Shuiyun Cave Mansion.
"He realized it himself, I just demonstrated it. ”
"There are outgoing disciples who have returned, those people are going to do it, and I have already begun to gather all the outgoing disciples and elders. ”
"In the face of those people, no matter how many people there are, it's useless, you better find a way to disperse the disciples quickly!"
The man paused, "Okay!"
......
"Break it for me!" was another loud bang, this time shocking the birds that roosted in the peach forest.
Flocks of frightened birds scattered in all directions.
The partridge sky, who was looking at this scene from afar, said lightly, "The tree falls, and the monkey scatters." ”
took a few steps, but walked behind Mingyu as if teleporting. Partridge Tian said to Mingyu, "Mingyu, come here." ”
Mingyu's waving arm didn't stop, and it was another water balloon the size of a leather ball, but it was more than one lap bigger than yesterday.
"Drink!" the balloon exploded with a thunderous sound.
Partridge Tian looked at it and nodded slightly, "There is progress, but I'm afraid I can't wait until the day when you can finish watering this peach forest in one day, I'm leaving, and you, seven days have passed, and now that it appears, no one will talk much." ”
Mingyu surprisingly didn't ask much this time, "Then I can go down the mountain?"
"Hmm," Partridge nodded.
Mingyu was stunned and looked at the beautiful peach forest around him, "When I can be as strong as you, I will come back to complete my punishment." ”
After saying that, Mingyu turned around and left, and didn't go far Mingyu stood still, turned to look at Partridge Tian, "Uncle Shi, although you are my uncle, but after seven days, I think you are more like my brother, thank you for your teachings, Mingyu will never forget." With that, Mingyu bowed, turned around and left directly.
Partridge Tian looked at the direction where Mingyu was far away and muttered, "You~ will definitely be able to." ”
......
"Your boss is back again!" Mingyu excitedly pushed open the door and yelled, but the room was empty, only a large roasted chicken cooked next to the bedside table.
His eyes lit up, and he stumbled over and hugged the roast chicken, "Damn, I've eaten for seven days." I was finally able to open the meat.
When a fat girl's big roast chicken was left with a pile of chicken bones, the door was pushed open and two people walked in, who else could it be besides Ming Ze and Chao Ran.
"Brother, are you back?" Ming Ze reacted quickly.
Chaoran did have an angry face, "Damn, I swept the Eight Treasure Chickens that I changed for a day to wash the Sword Pavilion, you!
Just as the two of them were tearing together, the door was pushed open again, and two people entered, an old man with white hair and a long beard, and a tall and thin man.
It was the Great Elder and Jingyun, the Great Elder shook his head, smiled helplessly, and said, "Okay, don't make trouble, I have something to say." ”
Transcendent looked at the Great Elder at this time, and Mingyu also looked at the Great Elder with a blank expression.
The Great Elder said unhurriedly, "Although I am your teacher, I have not taught you anything, and you are all mirrors that have been opened by your own skills...... "The words were not finished.
Mingyu looked at the two younger brothers and smiled excitedly, "You two are open? ”
It is also true that all three of them can cultivate, which is the best news now, so it is no wonder that Mingyu is so excited.
"Mingyu, listen to me, where did I just go? Oh, but maybe, the Shuiyun Cave Mansion is about to be disbanded temporarily. ”
Mingyu exclaimed again, "What, disband?
Jingyun opened his mouth at this time and said, "Mingyu, listen to what the Great Elder has to say." ”
Mingyu scratched his head guiltily.
"It's going to be disbanded, so, as a Great Elder, I want to apologize for not being able to hand over anything to you, but as compensation, I'll take the coiling and some precious weapons and the like with you. Oh, by the way, and that little wolf will be returned to you when the time comes," the Great Elder said this, looked at Jingyun and then at Mingyu.
"The Great Elder doesn't need to apologize, he is a teacher for one day and a father for life, I, Mingyu, will remember the Shuiyun Cave Mansion, and I will remember that there is a Great Elder named Shui Wen!"
Hearing this, the Great Elder smiled with relief, walked to the door and left a sentence, "Your own path has been chosen, and you have to go down on your knees." After that, the Great Elder left slowly, just like a partridge sky, this time he didn't use any magical powers, just walked slowly.
......
"Jingyun, what's going on?" Mingyu asked curiously
"I don't know, it must have something to do with the last closure of Menyi City, and I don't know anything else, just an errand runner. I'll take you to get things tomorrow morning, but now there are a lot of people, let's not go and squeeze it, anyway, after receiving the things, the mansion master won't be able to leave until tomorrow after the lord has finished speaking," Jingyun said.
Mingyu snorted, looked outside the door and said, "There is no banquet in the world, now we are like this flying leaf in the sky, a gust of wind can blow, a gust of wind can blow down, and where should we go?"
The four of them were all looking out the window at the falling leaves flying all over the sky. There was an inexplicable faint sadness in my heart.
