Chapter 4: Autumn Equinox, Cause and Effect, and Dao Heart
Like last year, the weather gradually cooled after the autumn equinox, and Li Yunsheng also arrived as scheduled, only this time alone. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
This year, he harvested the wheat of the geography alone, sold the old ox at home, and gave some furniture and utensils to the people of the same village. He grinded white flour with newly harvested wheat, made a meal of his father Li Mangkhut's favorite oily noodles, and put it in front of his father's grave, the mantra of the evil monk was still fulfilled, and Li Mangosteen never stayed until the autumn equinox and left.
Under Wanglong Peak.
After a year, Qinyang Mansion has actually recovered a little vitality under the strong support of Tianyan Kingdom, although it is not as vibrant as before, but it is a world of difference compared to the "ghost town" a year ago. In particular, Wanglong Peak, which was originally sparsely populated, actually became popular because of this incident, and within a year, the original wild place became a famous spot with many taverns and teahouses. At this time, Wanglong Peak was cut off, and it no longer had the majestic weather before, but it also responded to the sentence "The mountain is not high, there is a fairy name." β
Although there was an inn under Wanglong Peak, Li Yunsheng still lived in the broken thatched house. He didn't know what he needed to bring to the Immortal Mansion, except for the two new clothes that Li Shanzhu found a tailor for him, the heaviest thing on his body was the fifty catties of white flour, which was also what Li Shanzhu told him before his death, so that even if he went to the Immortal Mansion, he couldn't go hungry.
There was also the white porcelain vase, strange to say, when he went home, he looked at the white porcelain vase, and he didn't see any vision, it looked like an ordinary bottle.
About three days later, a handsome young Taoist knocked on Li Yunsheng's door.
"You are Li Yunsheng?"
Xiao Daotong asked with a serious expression and a calm tone standing at the door.
"Yes. β
The Taoist robe on Xiao Daotong's body was exactly the same as that day when Xu Yu and Chu Xingdao and his party came, and Li Yunsheng immediately understood that it should be someone from "Qiushuimen" who came to pick him up.
"Your token?"
Then Li Yunsheng took out the iron plate that Xu Yu gave him that day and handed it to Xiao Daotong, who nodded seriously after confirming it:
"Well, that's right, pack up, come with me. β
With a stick of incense, Li Yunsheng packed his luggage and followed Xiao Daotong out of the door.
"I don't know yet, fellow Daoist...... How to call it. β
Although Li Yunsheng is only thirteen years old, he looks like an adult in both heart and height, so it is really embarrassing to call a child who is only as tall as himself "Daoyou".
"Gongsun Yu, but you have to call me Senior Brother Yu. β
Xiao Daotong turned around and said solemnly.
"Okay, Brother Yu. β
Of course, Li Yunsheng didn't care about these things with a child, but felt that this child was innocent and interesting.
Unexpectedly, Li Yunsheng was really willing to call himself senior brother obediently, Xiao Daotong was stunned for a moment, and then raised his fair and pink little face with satisfaction and said:
"Yes, you know a lot more than the people who came before. β
"Brother Xiaoyu'er, where are we going now?"
"Go on a boat. β
"By boat?"
Xiao Yu'er's answer made Li Yunsheng a little confused, because this radius of hundreds of miles is mountainous and hilly, where does the waterway come from?
"Why are you still there? The ship is about to leave, and if you miss this boat, you will have to wait a year for the next one. β
Just when Li Yunsheng hesitated, Xiao Yu'er had already left him far behind, and he had to hurry up to keep up with Xiao Yu'er's footsteps, but soon he was surprised to find that this little fish seemed to be walking innocently, but in fact he was walking extremely fast! He almost used his running ability to keep up with the whole process, and in less than half an hour, Li Yunsheng was already panting and sweating profusely, and the little fish didn't take a breath.
"With your qualifications, if you really enter Qiushuimen, it will be very hard. β
Xiao Yu'er looked at Li Yunsheng, who was panting, and shook her head with a stern expression like a little adult, "But since you call me Senior Brother, I will naturally take care of you in the future." Saying that, he took the fifty catties of white noodles from Li Yunsheng's back and carried it on his body, his movements were as easy as taking a piece of clothing.
Li Yunsheng didn't refuse or feel ashamed, he had completely admitted the gap between the two at this time, and he could continue to run fast for half an hour, which was something he could only do after eating those three sugar pills.
After continuing to run like this for half an hour, Li Yunsheng felt that the pair of straw sandals on his feet were loose, and when he was bending down to tidy them up, Xiao Yu'er said with a child's voice: "We have arrived." I saw his two short arms stretched out in front of him, and made a sliding motion out of thin air against the mountain air.
Li Yunsheng was curious about his strange behavior, suddenly a cool breeze came to his face, the wind was accompanied by the chirping of seabirds and the smell of fish, and he saw an invisible gate appear in front of the little fish, inside the gate is a world with a completely different scenery from this Tianyan country, under the extremely clean sky dome is an endless sea, the sound of waves hitting the shore actually came from the door to Li Yunsheng's ears, the other side of the sea can see the looming cyan mountains, the most eye-catching is the huge ship docked by the coastal dock, the size of this ship has exceeded Li Yunsheng's cognition and even imaginationγ
"Let's go, get on board. β
Xiao Yu'er waved at him with a calm expression, the world in front of him and the ship seemed commonplace in his eyes.
"Crossing this door, the cause and effect and chance between you and the world behind you will be completely cut off. β
Li Yunsheng stepped through the door with half a foot, and the little fish in front of him suddenly looked at him with a serious face.
Hearing this, Li Yunsheng couldn't help but glance back at the world behind him, the somewhat muddy world actually made him a little worried, he remembered the prosperous and lively market in Erlang Village during the New Year, remembered the lotus next door and grew up with his childhood sweetheart, remembered the newly built stove last year, and remembered the pear tree in front of the door with a somewhat sour fruit.
Still, he stepped over the other foot.
Although he didn't talk much, he looked very wooden, compared to his father and grandfather's attitude towards the matter of seeking immortals was not enthusiastic enough, he had heard his father say countless times that on the day of his grandfather's fortieth birthday, how he was extremely desperate to close his eyes, and his father's crying before leaving, he was actually very angry in his heart, because why can "you" wantonly take away my relatives in front of my eyes? and why should I be helpless? He has read a lot of books, and he has consulted many gentlemen when he traveled around with his father in search of immortals, but there is still no answer, they told Li Yunsheng that this is fate, destiny, you can't disobey it.
But he always felt that at this time there was a very perfunctory answer, he wanted a clear answer, and the world behind him obviously couldn't give it to him.
Seeing that Li Yunsheng finally stepped over, Xiao Yu'er's calm face flashed with astonishment, and then nodded and said, "You are very good." Seeing Li Yunsheng's doubts, he continued: "I have a senior brother named Wang Fulai, who also stepped through this door with one foot first, but it took more than a year for the "second foot" to step over. β
"Why did it take so long?"
Li Yunsheng said curiously.
Xiao Yu'er smiled: "I asked him, he said that day he suddenly wanted to eat his mother's boiled fish head, very much, no matter what, he also said that the fish in their hometown only swim to them every four years, and his mother is the best at cooking this kind of fish, the bright red chopped pepper under the stewed white fish head for three hours, so delicious that he didn't want to be a fairy, so he waited at home for a year, and ate this fish before coming back." β
"You're such an interesting person. β
Li Yunsheng didn't feel funny or surprised when he heard this, but commented very seriously, which was somewhat unexpected by Xiao Yu'er.
"You just said I was good because I came in quickly?"
Li Yunsheng then asked.
"Yes, soon, as far as I know, in the past ten years, only my senior brother Song Haoran will be as fast as you. Xiao Yu'er looked at Li Yunsheng with a hint of envy in his eyes and continued: "You should be like my senior brother, you have a 'clear Dao heart'. β
