Chapter 6: The Floating Immortals
Qu Yanluo ran to pick up the piece of paper, and there were a few lines of crooked writing on it, and this handwriting could be recognized by her own daughter.
It reads: "Yanluo, you must have a lot of confusion in your heart now, I don't know many words, and I can't write the ins and outs."
You go to the Taoist temple in Meishan to find an immortal named "Fusheng", and he will tell you everything.
Remember, don't be sad, my mother is always by your side!"
As soon as Qu Yanluo saw the crooked handwriting, she knew that it must be her mother's handwriting. Turning around, he said anxiously to Xu Fan: "Take me to the back mountain, the mountain we came down just now, ...... quickly."
Qu Yanluo was very uneasy in her heart, and the tears rolled out uncontrollably.
Xu Fan looked at her and cried, and hurriedly replied, "Okay, let's go!"
The two hurriedly went out and rode Xiaobai and flew up the mountain, this Aunt Lin just happened to come over to see this scene, and the snack box in her hand fell off suddenly.
It was the first time for Aunt Lin to see a flying camel, she was frightened for a while, and she was stunned for a while before she came back to her senses, frowned and said anxiously: "Ouch, something must have happened!"
In the blink of an eye, Xu Fan and Qu Yanluo had reached the top of Meishan. Looking at the two moss-covered wooden pillars in front of this broken Taoist temple, Xu Fan covered his nose and said in disgust: "This musty smell is too heavy, it doesn't look like a place with immortals, it looks like no one has lived in it for hundreds of years!"
Qu Yanluo didn't respond to him, and got off the camel directly and walked towards the Taoist temple behind the two pillars.
These two pillars are the gates of this temple, and after walking through the gate, you will enter the small courtyard in the middle of the temple, and there is a Tai Chi pattern on the ground. The rooms around the courtyard were dilapidated, as if they had been abandoned for a long time.
Qu Yanluo looked around, her eyes stayed on the small room facing the door, it was tattered, the paper on the window had turned yellow, and there were many holes.
Although each room is about the same level of rottenness, only the door of this room is open, and you can see a dirty statue of Taishang Laojun inside.
Qu Yanluo walked in and saw two copper plates on the offering table, and the fruits in the copper plates were rotten. There are still a lot of insects crawling on the ground, although a wave of nausea comes to my heart, but the mother's heartfelt Qu Yanluo can't take care of these anymore.
She just wanted to find the "Fusheng" immortal as soon as possible. The room was very small, and at a glance I could see that to the right of the idol, there was a side door, which was locked.
At this time, Xu Fan asked Xiaobai to stay in the courtyard, and he followed up with this room, and as soon as he came in, he was retched by the rotten breath.
Qu Yanluo walked to the side door, leaned down and looked at the lock on the door, everything around was so tattered, but this lock was very exquisite, and there was a blood-red phoenix engraved on it, and the blood-red color made people's hearts hairy, Qu Yanluo thought to herself that such a delicate and weird lock was not a mortal thing, and it must not be simple behind this door.
But it was difficult to open the lock, but fortunately, the door was wooden, and it didn't look very strong, so I wanted not to open it directly. She got up and said, "Xu Fan, help me knock this door open!"
"This ...... Vomit...... Not good...... Vomit...... Let's go!" Xu Fan wanted to retch as soon as he spoke, his eyes were full of tears, and his face was about to turn purple.
"Then I'll hit it myself!" Qu Yanluo took a few steps back, ready to get up and bang on the door.
Xu Fan stood in front of her with one hand covering his nose and stopped her, pointed at himself with the other hand, and then slammed sideways towards the door.
Just about to hit the door, before he could touch it, the door actually opened by itself, Xu Fan was so frightened that he opened his teeth and claws, and suddenly jumped into the air and lay on the ground, but the ground was very soft, Xu Fan opened his eyes and saw that the surroundings were foggy white, as if flying in the clouds.
Qu Yanluo walked in from outside the door, and as soon as she entered, the side door suddenly disappeared, and the surroundings were white. She stood next to Xu Fan's calf, looked at the front with her eyes in front and said with an incredulous expression: "You are the Fusheng Immortal?"
Xu Fan hurriedly got up and patted the clothes that were not dirty. When I looked up, there was an old Taoist priest with white hair standing in front of him, dressed in white, holding a whisk in his hand, and the white beard on his chin hung down to his stomach. His face was full of wrinkles, and his eyes kept looking at Xu Fan.
Xu Fan, who was watching it, was a little uncomfortable, and said loudly: "What do you think I'm doing, others ask you!"
The old Taoist priest seemed to be awakened all of a sudden, turned his head to look at Qu Yanluo, and hurriedly said: "Oh, yes, yes, this immortal is Fusheng, this immortal didn't expect that the Yanluo girl would come to me so early, you two please come with me." ”
The Fusheng Immortal led the two of them to a plum tree, which was so large that four adults could barely hold it in a circle holding hands. Under the tree lay a wooden round table and four stools.
There are also a few fallen petals on it, and this scene is like a white cloud with a touch of red dotted inside, which is very beautiful.
The three of them sat under the plum tree, only Xu Fan kept looking around, not at all.
Qu Yanluo's face was full of nervousness, and she said, "Fusheng Immortal, where did my mother go?"
Fu Sheng shook his head and touched his beard, sighed and said slowly: "Alas, your mother died eight years ago......"
"What!how is it possible?" Qu Yanluo couldn't believe what she heard, and slapped her palm on the table, and her eye frames began to heat up. Xu Fan also looked at the Fusheng Immortal with a shocked expression.
The Fusheng Immortal continued, "Do you remember the day you ran away from home eight years ago?"
Qu Yanluo said eagerly: "I remember, that day, my mother went out very early to sell fish in the market in the city, and I went to Aunt Lin's house for lunch at noon.
In the afternoon, while Aunt Lin took a nap, I ran out, I didn't take a boat, I swam directly across the river, avoided the city market, played in the center of the city until dark, there was a night market in the city at night, I was reluctant to go, I was greedy to play and went shopping until midnight, I thought there was no boat to take me back.
But when I walked to the river, I saw a lot of boats with lights on, and later learned that the people in the village thought I had fallen into the river, and used fishing nets to fish around on the boats.
Later, I took a boat back to Meicun, I stood on the shore, there was no trace of the mother, I heard the people in the village, the mother looked for the whole Meicun did not find me, afraid that I would fall into the river, so I jumped directly into the river to find me, a few big men also jumped into the river to help find for a while, but soon went ashore.
Only my mother, who had been down for an hour at that time, had not come up yet.
I waited for her on the shore, anxious that something would happen to her, but half an hour later I saw my mother's head peeking out on the river not far from me.
She came up wet from the river and hugged me, and scolded me when she got back to the house. She was alive and well, and the people around her saw her come out of the river. How could he die?"
The Fusheng Immortal said: "Alas, but your mother's kiss Tian Dongyu was indeed looking for you in the river that day, because she was too eager to go down the river, and she swam in the water for too long, and her calf cramped and drowned.
She hesitated and obsessed too deeply, and her soul after death floated on the surface of the river and refused to leave. I sensed an evil spirit at the foot of the mountain, so I went down to catch it.
At that time, your mother's soul had seen you come back safe and sound, but she was still reluctant to leave, she remembered that you were still young, and your father died early, if she also went, leaving you only eight years old, she couldn't bear it, so she asked me for help.
At that time, Ben Xian admonished her, your mother was a female general in her early years, her body was full of blood, and her swordsmanship was also extremely exquisite, so I could directly cross her soul into the sword and become a sword spirit.
But she has to continue her life, and wants to raise you as an adult herself, but everything is gained and lost, I will help her get her body back, and let her accompany you as a living person until you are eighteen years old.
However, her price is that her soul will be scattered after the expiration of the period, and she can no longer enter reincarnation, and she can only move in Plum Village, if she leaves Plum Village, her soul will be scattered immediately, so she has always refused to accompany you to Van Gogh Country. ”
Qu Yanluo's tears burst out suddenly, and she hurriedly asked, "But I'm only sixteen, and I should have two more years to go, right?"
Fu Sheng said: "It's true that there are still two years, but your mother has never been able to let go of you, as soon as you left, she came to the mountain with a wooden sword to beg me, she asked me to cross her soul into the wooden sword, but I really can't do it, I have violated the way of heaven before, and now your mother is the body of a living person, and the soul is also a living soul, and the soul of crossing the soul into the sword is really against the way of heaven, and I can't help her anymore."
But she cried endlessly, and the immortal couldn't bear it, so she cast a spell on the sword, telling her that her soul could enter the wooden sword, but after the wooden sword left Plum Village, she immediately lost her soul.
And my spell can help her retain a trace of spiritual sense on the wooden sword, which can only be regarded as a broken sword spirit, and only a trace of spiritual sense on the sword, in fact, it has no effect, and she can move it twice at most.
The next morning I saw her go to you and bring you the sword, and she turned and got into the boat and crossed her soul into the sword, and you saw her back in her soulless body.
After you are gone, I will bury her body on this plum mountain. mentioned that she set up a monument, if you want to ......" Fu Sheng paused, sighed, and said the second half of the sentence: "If you want to worship, I will take you there." ”
Qu Yanluo looked at the wooden sword beside her with tears on her face, and cried on the table.
