Chapter 7: Parting in the light rain
Time is a wonderful thing, it is fair to everyone, no one can change the eternal rhythm of time, but mood can affect the feeling of time.
A dripping light rain marks the end of the cold climate and the season of revival of all things.
The five demon cultivators of the Black Swamp stood on the black stone platform that Zhan Yu once built, each carrying a pot of wine in their hands, which was brewed by Zhan Yu himself, of course, Xiao Jinhuan was an exception, she drank royal jelly, and the wine was confiscated by Luo Lao.
In Luo Lao's words, the little doll is not suitable for drinking, but it is not suitable for drinking, you should return the wine, don't put it in the gourd!
The five demon cultivators all looked at the south, and their moods were different.
For Luo Lao, the south is the place where he has traveled, where there are his footprints, his stories, where he pinned his hopes for seeking the Tao, and also left his endless sighs.
For Zhan Yu, it is the center of the flood wilderness, the place where all the spirits of the flood wilderness bloom their lives, and he wants to become enlightened there and live a more wonderful life.
For Qianmu and the snake girl, they had to go south to the wilderness, because the resources of the black swamp were not enough to help them become enlightened, but they didn't know the road after enlightenment, but they only took one step and two steps, and the unknown had expectations.
For Xiao Jinhuan, she is talented and has Grandpa Luo's wishes.
Grandpa Luo often said that he hoped that she would work hard to cultivate, and that she would be able to go farther on the road of seeking the Tao and see a different scenery.
Grandpa Luo also said that he wanted to learn from Brother Zhan Yu, because he was the wisest demon in the Black Swamp.
"What do you see?" Luo Lao's eyes in the rain and fog were a little confused, and his tone was a little vicissitudes.
"I saw the struggle, everything wants to become enlightened, but the road is difficult to achieve, and blood and death are indispensable on the road. "Maybe it's about to leave the Black Swamp, but today's Chime has a surprisingly much to say.
"I see hope, only by going out, can I see more things, can I see clearly what the Tao is, and only then can I have the hope of becoming enlightened. The snake girl crossed her arms and whispered.
"Zhan Yuna, I always feel that your gaze contains a lot of things, sometimes even older than an old man like me. Luo Lao looked at Zhan Yu and said.
It can be seen that he is really blue-eyed towards Zhan Yu.
"I saw a big stage, with iron and flowing water, you and I may also be passers-by, but I want to be on this stage and live a more wonderful life. ”
"Little Golden Ring, tell Grandpa too, what did you see?" Luo Lao looked at the little Golden Ring hiding under his cloak and touched its head.
Xiao Jinhuan looked into the distance, the rain and fog were misty, and he couldn't see clearly, so he turned his head to look at his grandfather and said, "There is a piece of sky above your head, a piece of ground under your feet, and the little golden ring in the middle can't see clearly." ”
After speaking, Xiao Jinhuan nodded, feeling that what he said was very right: "I just saw a piece of heaven and earth." ”
"Although my little Jinhuan is young, he has his own world in his chest, and he will definitely make great achievements in the future. ”
Luo Lao took a sip of wine, smiled heartily, and continued: "This is the beauty of the flood wilderness, the same flood wilderness, different eyes look at the past and see different scenery. ”
"The flood is so wide, broad enough to accommodate all things, so wide that you can't reach the edge in your life, I really want to heal my injuries as soon as possible, and go to the adventure with you again, it must be more exciting!"
Speaking of this, Luo Lao's eyes were full of regret, how could the injury that shook Daoji be so easy to recover.
Zhan Yu looked at Luo Lao, the elder of the Black Swamp, he had sought the Tao in the flood when he was young, and then the Daoji was damaged and returned to the place where the dream started, passing on hope to future generations, this is a seeker worthy of admiration.
Zhan Yu looked at Luo Lao and said sincerely: "Luo Lao, you are the elder of the Black Swamp and the benefactor of the Black Swamp, it is our luck that the Black Swamp can have your protection, and it is also the luck of the Black Swamp."
Be sure to take care of your health, when you miss us, drink a glass of wine I gave you, it is good for your body, I believe that your old wounds will be repaired, and when the time comes, you will not be able to fight the flood again. ”
From the precaution of the first meeting, to the current respect, along the way is Luo Lao's care for the juniors, perhaps because Luo Lao feels that he has no hope of seeking the Tao, so he can only pin his hope on the juniors.
But Zhan Yu hoped that Luo Lao could repair the Dao Ji, so the Taiyin spiritual liquid he condensed this year was added to the jar of wine given to Luo Lao.
"Luo Lao, you must take care of yourself first, juniors have their own juniors, and we are all looking forward to you witnessing our enlightenment. The snake girl said with concern, Luo Lao is helping his juniors, but this also makes people worry that Luo Lao will give up his own path.
"Rest assured, the old man still wants to live longer, since he returned to the Black Swamp, but he has never given up recuperating from his injuries. Luo Lao waved his hand to signal everyone to rest assured.
"Grandpa, Jinhuan has left you a lot of royal jelly, you must remember to drink it, royal jelly is very sweet and can nourish the body. The carefree little golden ring, when he was about to leave, also felt heavy.
"Then grandpa will thank you little Jinhuan. Luo Lao said, a handkerchief suddenly appeared in his hand, handed it to the little golden ring, and said: "Golden ring, this is the Liuyun Pa woven by grandpa's spider silk, you see there is a flying little bee on it, this is a gift from grandpa, if you want grandpa, take out this handkerchief and take a look." ”
Then Luo Lao looked up at the demons: "There is one more thing that needs to be handed over to you, recently I drew a map based on my memory, after so many years, there may be places, the landform has changed, but it can also be used for a little reference, I hope to help you make your trip to the wilderness smoother." ”
Luo Lao's expression was solemn, he looked at Zhan Yu and said: "This map will be handed over to you for safekeeping, you are cautious by nature, this is very good, the old man just suffered a loss of not being cautious enough." ”
Zhan Yu respectfully took the map and put it in the gourd: "Don't worry, Luo Lao, I will definitely take good care of it!"
Luo Lao pointed to the map and said: "There are several mountains marked on this map, if you pass by, you can go again to see if there is any elixir, but you don't have to force it, after all, so much time has passed." ”
"There's nothing else to say!"
Luo Lao took a sip of wine and said, "Let's go! ”
The atmosphere of parting is always sad, and although everyone has been prepared, it is inevitable to be sad at this time.
Someone always has to speak first, Zhan Yu's heart fluctuated, there was expectation and reluctance, and he waved to Luo Lao through the rain curtain: "Luo Lao, when you are leaving, bless us again!"
"Then I wish you a smooth road and one day become famous!" Luo Lao said.
"By Luo Laoji's words, Zhan Yu will definitely live up to expectations!" After saying that, Zhan Yu was the first to step into the rain.
"Borrowing Luo Laoji's words, Qianmu will definitely live up to expectations!"
"By the words of Luo Laoji, the snake girl will live up to expectations!"
"Jinhuan will also work hard!" Jinhuan also fell into the rain.
Luo Lao looked at the good rain in front of him, only felt that the world was picturesque and beautiful, and sighed: "Drunk and young, it happened at first awakening, I hope that heaven and earth will be merciful, and live up to the ...... of cultivation."
