Song of the Cave Immortals Chapter 7 Broken Temple Covers
Walking through the reckless mountains and forests, Su Mai's heart fluctuated and could not be calmed for a long time.
After wandering with Tiansuizi for ten years, I often heard that those cultivators flew with their swords, and they occasionally saw all kinds of light flashing in the sky in the mountains, but I didn't know why, it had never been as real as today.
Witnessing the magical scene of the old monk and the Yin Nine Fighting Method, and the peerless demeanor of Lu Yunxi, it was like engraved in my mind.
The thought of that scene of being alone made him a little excited.
Thinking about it, I faintly felt a little more envy and yearning for the world of cultivating immortals, and thought that if I could also fly with a sword, why would I go around in this big mountain, suffer from this wind and food, sleeping in the open, and the cold invading my body.
Leaving Cuiyun Mountain, I traveled along the road for several days before arriving at the boundary of Bluestone City.
Looking at the towering city tower in the distance, Su Mai's heart swelled with an inexplicable cordiality, and he finally returned to the city.
These days, wandering in the wilderness, all the way to the dust, the clothes on the body are also torn, but like a begging along the way called Hanako, when you get to the city, you have to find an inn to take a good bath, and sleep beautifully.
Thinking in his heart, he unconsciously quickened his pace and hurried towards the bluestone city.
When I approached, I found that the city wall was more than dozens of feet high, and before I got closer, I felt a cold air coming.
Looking closely, it turns out that the city wall and towers are all made of bluestone, which is extremely smooth and smooth, and the tentacles are delicate and cold.
Layers of bluestone piled up, forming an irregular pattern on the city wall, compared with the grandeur and solemnity of Ningzhou City, a little more ancient and simple.
After entering the city gate and walking along the same bluestone-paved road for a while, Su Mai found a rather embarrassing problem - he had no money on him.
It seems that the guest house is hopeless, and the comfortable hot bath is also soaked in the soup.
Looking at the crowd coming and going on the street, Su Mai suddenly remembered Tiansuizi, and scolded in his heart: "This old man, let's go, don't even leave me some money, you want to starve me to death."
Complaining is complaining, and the most urgent thing at the moment is to find a place to live.
I can't go to the city, so let's see if there are any abandoned houses on the edge of the city, and I'll deal with it for the night, and then I'll get up tomorrow and find a job.
Su Mai thought as he searched through the alleys of the city.
Finally, when the sky was about to darken, he finally found a dilapidated temple in a remote corner in the south of the city.
It is said to be a room, but in fact it is only half, the first half has collapsed, and there are still a few black wooden beams on the ground, which looks like it was abandoned by fire, but there is not much dust on the ground, and it looks like it has been burned down for a short time.
Su Mai walked in quickly, quickly found a corner, cleaned up the bricks and soil at his feet, sat down against the wall, and said self-deprecatingly: "It's better to cover yourself with tiles than sleeping on the street, it's not bad here, it's rare to be quiet."
As he spoke, a rumbling sound suddenly came from his abdomen, and a strong feeling of hunger came up.
I was anxious to find a place to live, but I didn't feel much, but now when I calmed down, I suddenly found that I hadn't eaten for half a day since I entered the city, no wonder I was hungry.
Su Mai groped in his arms for a while, turned out a blue-green fruit, put it to his mouth and bit it.
This fruit is the unique mountain fruit in Cuiyun Mountain, the color is green and sweet, it has the effect of quenching thirst, Su Mai picked some and put it on his body, the right to be dry food, now it has been two days down the mountain, and this thing is only the last one.
What to eat tomorrow, Su Mai doesn't know, let's talk about it tonight.
Leaning against the wall, half-lying on the ground, I felt a wave of tiredness hit me, and I fell asleep in a daze.
When he woke up, it was already the middle of the moon, and the cold moon sprinkled on his body, slightly cool, but he didn't feel cold.
Since using the method of keeping out the cold frequently during this time, Su Mai found that his ability to resist the cold has improved a lot, so he casually slept in this dilapidated temple, but his body didn't feel much.
After moving his body, Su Mai stood up, and when he was about to walk outside the temple, he suddenly noticed that a body in the opposite corner of the wall moved, which startled him.
Courageous, he took a closer look forward by the moonlight, only to find that there was a young man of his age lying in the corner, looking at him with wide eyes.
Su Mai thought that he had come in just now, the weather was dark, and he was sleepy, so he fell asleep in a few moments, but he didn't realize that there were other people here.
But since it was a human, there was nothing to be afraid of, so he walked over lightly and asked loudly, "Who are you and why are you here?"
"I'm already here, who are you?" the boy asked rhetorically.
"My name is Su Mai, I came to Bluestone City to look for someone, I have no place to live, stay here for one night, this won't be your home, right?"
"My name is Wu You, I've lived here for a while, it's my home", the boy smiled bitterly, a faint pain flashed on his face.
"Worry-free, your name is quite good, carefree, Su Mai said with a smile.
"It's not worry-free, the mouth is heavenly, and the gentleman has a lot to do", the boy said.
Su Mai suddenly said in his heart: "The gentleman has a relationship, I have often heard the old man say it before, it seems that most of this Wu You's father is also a fortune teller, and we are also fateful." ”
Thinking like this, he had a little more good impression of Wu You, and he hurriedly lay down, after all, he was disturbing others, so he said to the boy: "Sorry to disturb, hinder your rest."
"It's okay, the end of the world has fallen, meeting is fate, you're welcome, and I can't sleep besides," the boy replied.
"I'm not sleepy, so let's talk," Sumai said.
So by the moonlight, the two leaned against the wall and chatted.
I learned that this young man was the only son of Wu Chengzu, the head of the Wu family, a famous Xiuzhen clan in Qingshi City, and was originally from a prominent and wealthy family.
Previously, when his father Wu Chengzu was alive, he took good care of him, and the children of other clans still had some scruples.
Wu Chengzu's brother Wu Qizong united with other branches of the clan to hold a clan meeting to denounce Wu Youke's relatives and Kezong, his lonely life, and now his parents have been killed by him, and he may affect his clan relatives in the future.
For the sake of family tranquility, the ancestors had a great plan to drive him out of the Wu clan, and even burned the small courtyard where Wu You lived to ashes, along with the Guanyin Temple where his mother lived in the past, which completely cut off Wu You's way home.
Listening to what happened to Wu You, Su Mai suddenly felt something, and said in his heart that although he had been sluggish since he was a child, he had to take care of the old guy for ten years, but he was also at ease, and there was no great joy or sorrow.
This Wu You has been excluded since he was a child, and now that his parents are dead, he has been kicked out of the house, and he has been hidden in a broken temple, and he has been added to the wind and rain, which is really unfortunate, and I can't help but feel a little more sympathy for him.
Thinking of this, his heart suddenly moved, he looked at the blackened wooden beam at his feet, and suddenly said: "You said that even the temple was burned, could it be that this is ......"
"Yes, this place was originally my Wu family temple, and it was also the place where my mother lived back then," Wu Yu responded, with hatred in his eyes.
"No wonder you said that this is your home, the matter has come to this, you don't have to be too sad, you can find a famous teacher in the future, learn the immortal method, and you can get revenge", Su Mai comforted.
"Well, and my father's death, we must find out, he is an old man, and he is in the prime of life, he has never had the slightest illness, and there is no possibility of sudden death."
Wu You said angrily, his right hand clenched into a fist, his face turned pale, and he looked even more pale and helpless in the cold moonlight.
In this way, two young men who lived at the end of the world and had similar backgrounds talked for a long time in this broken temple on the edge of the city.
Su Mai has traveled to the rivers and lakes for ten years, and has seen and heard a lot, especially for the delicacies in various places, and Wu You has a family history, is well-read and strong, and because of the background of the Xiuzhen family, he also knows a lot about the cultivation of the truth.
The two chatted about the past, talked about what they had seen and heard, and they chatted happily, but they also injected a trace of warmth into each other's lonely hearts, and had a little more expectations for the future.
