Half an hour later, the water temperature of the medicine tank gradually cooled down, and the white mist disappeared by half, Li Moru faintly felt that he could already move, and tried to stand up.

At this time, he noticed that he had added a lot of large and small wounds on his body, some deep and some shallow, the soaking time was a little long, and the skin had begun to wrinkle, but fortunately, he already felt that he could lift his strength.

Hongyunzi woke up when he heard the sound of splashing water, and when he saw Li Moru standing up, he also walked over to this side.

After stretching out his hand to take the pulse, he said: "Boy, your skills are deep enough, you are about to catch up with me, I think most of the internal force in your body is not all yours, otherwise at your age, even if you are a genius, it is impossible to have such a deep internal force." ”

"The predecessors are very knowledgeable, indeed, the source of the internal force in my body is a little tortuous, as for the various reasons, I won't go into details, anyway, with the help of the masters, it can be regarded as fused together. ”

"No wonder, let's go, I can barely move now, change my clothes in a while, and go get something to eat!"

"I want to see her first. ”

"As a healer, I should take you there, after all, touching the scene will inevitably aggravate the condition, and as a person, I should take you there, after all, the hard-working people will be separated forever. ”

Li Moru took a deep breath, there were still water droplets on his disastrous skin, and when the autumn breeze came, he couldn't help but feel cold.

He nodded and said, "In that case, let's wait two days." ”

Hongyunzi stretched out his palm and put it on Li Moru's forehead, "You didn't burn your brain, did you?"

"Why did the seniors say this?"

"Why did you change so quickly, I thought you would cry and shout and beg me to take you to see it, I have already figured out how to tell you, and then let you balance yourself, why suddenly the style of words suddenly changed, I am still a little uncomfortable. ”

Li Moru touched the position of his heart and said lightly: "Look at it or not, she is here, there is no loess, it has fallen into my heart, and if I want to see it, I will see everything." ”

"You seem to have opened your mind. ”

After Li Moru took the towel handed over by Hongyunzi and wiped his body clean, he changed into the robe that Hongyunzi prepared for him.

Li Moru walked under the ginkgo tree, the cool breeze passed sideways, the green silk followed the wind, he looked at the silent mountain peaks in the distance, and fell silent.

Hongyunzi said: "Don't sit there, follow me into the room, it's cold here, don't catch a cold again after a while, I still have to boil medicine for you, I don't bother to toss this old bone, and I'll kill you when the time comes, I'm not a blood loss." ”

Li Moru forced out a smile at this time, "Thank you, senior, for making you worried." ”

Hongyunzi smiled slightly, "Let's go in, go inside and have a sip of hot tea, and I'll go prepare something to eat for you." ”

"Then thank you seniors. ”

"Thank me, you can get better and do something for me. ”

"Good. ”

Li Moru crossed his hands in front of his chest, and there was a hint of weakness.

The house is a wooden house with mortise and tenon structure, there is a warm charcoal fire in the room, the house is a total of five rooms, one in and out of the room on both sides, the most eye-catching is the large copper stove placed in the middle lobby, the charcoal fire under the copper furnace is still there, all around are large and small jars, and there are many stones scattered on the ground.

The stones are of different colors, and some even have a faint smell of iron.

Li Moru pulled a stool and sat by the copper stove, it was very warm, the hall was enshrined with the statue of Sanqing, and there were some tributes and a few pillars of incense on the detective.

There was also a bookcase on the left, which was full of books, and Li Moru saw a copy of the Tao Te Ching next to the stool, so he took it and looked at it.

'The Tao is the way, the very way, the name is famous, the name is not the same. Nameless, the beginning of heaven and earth, famous, the mother of all things......'

Li Moru muttered to himself, "What is the Tao?

I remember that the people of Jinshan Sanren said that martial arts is also the Tao, Li Moru thought while reading, if martial arts is also the Tao, then the end of the martial arts is also nothing?

He thoughtfully sat cross-legged and operated the internal force in his body, first transporting it to every acupoint in his body until he felt that he had no more internal force to transport, and then he began to recycle all the internal forces in various parts of his body.

It seems that there is a special power that returns to the dantian with the internal force, he is no longer lucky, but lucky, and he only feels that he is integrated with the surrounding environment, just like what Lao Yang Tou taught him when he was a child.

The sound of the wind, the sound of fire, and the sound of melting gold and stone in the Dan furnace came little by little, and finally, his breath began to follow the sound of the wind, trickling like a stream, endlessly.

The wet hair also slowly dries out on the way, the water is evaporated little by little by the internal force, and every pore on the body begins to open, greedily sucking everything around it.

It's very strange that this feeling was felt when Li Moru was young, and then he forgot about it when he practiced martial arts, and began to pay attention to swordsmanship, moves, internal force operation, and strength of his fists.

As Li Moru practiced, the fires around him began to burn little by little, and he also felt that there was a heat in his body that spread to his limbs, and gradually the cold breath in his body gradually dissipated, and his body became lighter.

When Li Moru opened his eyes again, it was already dusk, and the vast sky began to become cloudy, intertwining dots in day and night.

"How's it going, you're done?"

"Senior, I seem to have entered a very wonderful realm just now, it seems to be integrated with the surrounding environment, and it seems to be detached from the surrounding environment, what is going on?"

"I remember the master said, this is called the Tao realm, everything in the world, each has its own way, follow its way, then get the Tao realm, the master was often indulged in his own Tao realm, you are okay, I remember when he was more, where I lay down, indulged in the Tao realm may be a few days, dozens of days or even years. ”

Li Moru listened to what Hongyunzi said about the master, and felt a bit like a person, and the more he listened, the more he liked, he asked: "Senior, dare to ask the name of the respected teacher?"

Hongyunzi said: "My master's name is Fuyaozi, his name seems to be Chen Jun, I have been practicing alchemy for all these years, and I have almost forgotten what he looks like." ”

Li Moru was surprised: "The senior is also the apprentice of the Huashan Ancestor?"

"Could it be that you've seen other apprentices?"

Li Moru shook his head, "No, I have only seen Chen Tafa, the head of the Huashan faction. ”

"Oh, you've seen Shouzheng, too, the master has so many disciples, and Shouzheng is famous, and the senior brothers don't like to go out, learn from the master, find a cave or mountain peak to live in seclusion. ”

Li Moru couldn't help asking, "Do you still have a senior brother?"

"Of course, there are eight disciples under the master, Shouzheng is the youngest, I am slightly older than him, and I am the latest to get started, so I am considered the seventh in the ranking, but we have never gotten together properly. ”

"Why is that?"

"The master likes to travel in the mountains and rivers, go to a place, and when he is interested, if he sees the other party's talent and intelligence, he will consider accepting him as a disciple, and then live in that place for a while, and during that time, he will teach the disciple Taoism, alchemy, divination, etc., and of course, martial arts. ”

"But the master often says that martial arts come from the Tao, martial arts are a realm, different from person to person, different people, the martial arts will not be the same, just like you, you have your martial arts, I have mine, although the road between us is different, but it is similar, this is the way. ”

"Forget it, don't say so much, hurry up and eat, the rice has been reheated, sit next to this Dan stove and eat, it's also warm. ”

Li Moru took the dishes and chopsticks, and then Hongyunzi put the dishes on a low table and brought them over, sat opposite Li Moru, and the two began to eat.

Hongyunzi picked up the firewood, and the fire became more vigorous, and the sound in the furnace became louder.

Li Moru said curiously: "Is this alchemy?"

"Hmm. ”

"Is there really an elixir in this world that makes people become immortals by eating it?"

"I don't know. ”

Li Moru was a little puzzled, "Your alchemy technique was learned from Ancestor Chen, didn't Ancestor soar, don't you know?"

Hongyunzi said with a smile: "Everyone has his own way, and if the master gets his way, he will have to soar, but my way is different from his, my way is in alchemy, maybe I won't be able to do it in this life." ”

"Hurry up and eat, after eating, go and drink the medicine over there, have a good rest, and talk about it tomorrow, I'm tired today." ”

Li Moru took a piece of wild vegetables and chewed it slowly, most of the wild vegetables on the mountain had a slight bitter taste, but this faint bitterness added to the layering of the meal.

After the meal, he drank the medicine, and Hongyunzi checked the situation in the Dan furnace, turned the firewood into charcoal, and then lightly covered it with a layer of ash to prevent the charcoal fire from going out and the Dan furnace from becoming cold when he woke up the next day.

After Hongyunzi rested, Li Moru began to turn up the Tao Te Ching and continue to watch.

When he woke up again, it was the next day, and he didn't know when he had fallen asleep.

After yawning and stretching, he helped check the fire, charcoal, and sparks in the lobby, and then added some firewood to sweep away the dust.

After finishing it, he went outside to take a long breath and exhale it slowly, probably because of the internal force to walk around his body, he felt much better today, and his spirit was much better than yesterday.

He walked around the wooden house and found a small low mound not far away, the soil looked new, and he knew that it was Ling Yiyi's grave.

There was no monument in the tomb, so Li Moru went to the distance to find a stone about four feet square, gathered his palm with internal force, and split it into the shape of a tombstone little by little.

Gathered the internal force on his fingertips, left shallow traces on the stones, and began to write - the tomb of his beloved wife Ling Yiyi, Li Moru force.

Biting the fingertips, the blood stains the faint traces red, and the blood-red word is there.

He put the tombstone in front of the grave and found a stone to sit in front of it.

"Yiyi, I'm here to see you, I'm sorry, I made you suffer when I was alive, and I let your corpse follow me in the wind and sun when I die, and I can't rest in peace. ”

There are no tears in his eyes, and there is no superfluous expression on his face, "I have a lot of things to say to you, but when the words came to my mouth, I swallowed it back, you said that it was your greatest blessing to meet me in this life, and so did I, it is really the greatest blessing in my life to meet our family." ”

"Don't worry, I will live well, live with your share, according to them, there are immortals in this world, then I'll go and see, if there are really immortals, there will be reincarnation, Yiyi, if you are reincarnated, remember to give me a dream before drinking Meng Po soup, and I will go to see you when the time comes." ”

"Yiyi, do you know, I miss you, why do you say that people are always like this, when you have it, you don't know how to cherish it, you lose it, and you are full of grief and regret, and you can't regret it, in the future, when I am not by your side, take good care of yourself, in the next life, find a better man, don't look for me like this, find a man who can accompany you to old age. ”

A breeze passed through Li Moru's sideburns, and his face was pale and pale like autumn frost.

He stretched out his hand, slender and bloodless, and slowly moved it on the stone tablet, as if touching Ling Yiyi's head.

A withered yellow leaf slowly drifts down next to the root of the tree, and after a winter, the leaf will rot and become the nourishment of the branch again the next year.
