Volume 1 The End of the Dharma Chapter 49 Vertical and Horizontal (4) Seeking Collection

The courtyard is heavy and the sun is slanting, and the green shade is full of flowers.

At dusk, Lian Ling, dressed in blue, sat alone on the stone platform, looking at the fallen leaves and flying flowers in the courtyard, and secretly pondered.

A sound of footsteps sounded, and an old man in gray came to the courtyard, looked at Lian Ling who was in a daze, and sighed lightly, "Girl, find the old man, is there anything wrong?" ”

Lian Ling raised his head when he heard the sound and looked at Wen Hua who walked into the courtyard, "He, why hasn't he come back yet, didn't you say that he would come back in a few days." ”

"Thisβ€”" Wen Hua seemed a little stunned, not knowing how to answer.

"Huh?" Lian Ling looked at the old man in front of him with a puzzled face.

In fact, he has been wandering all the time, and he does not know where he has gone or when he will return. Wen Hua paused, but still told the homeless youth that he had continued to travel.

"You ..." Lian Ling seemed a little angry when he heard this.

"Then why did you lie to me that he was only away for a few days. ”

Wen Hua smiled awkwardly, "If the girl's arm is to recover as before, it will take time to recuperate, so..."

"Humph..."

When Lian Ling heard this, he got up angrily and walked towards the outside of the courtyard.

When Lian Ling walked to the gate of the courtyard, he stopped, paused, and turned to look at the old man in the courtyard, "Thank you Sect Master Wen for taking care of me, I have other things to do, so I will say goodbye." ”

After that, Lian Ling went away.

Wen Hua looked at the blue figure in the distance, with a trace of regret in his eyes, and secretly groaned, "Alas, in the heart of the ancestor..."

Wen Hua shook his head, and also left the courtyard and walked towards his study.

In the courtyard of the study, Wen Wen sat on the threshold, resting Tianzong at his feet, watching the sunset on the horizon, stunned.

Wen Hua, who was standing at the gate of the courtyard, couldn't help but be speechless for a while, such a simple son was also in a daze here.

"Awen, if you don't practice with your sword, you're in a daze. ”

Wen Wen raised his head when he heard this, and saw that his father was coming, so he didn't get up, but said lightly: "I don't have the heart to practice."

Wen Hua raised his eyebrows and glared angrily, "When I first got this sword, I practiced day and night, why, it's only been a long time, and I don't like it?"

Wen Wen glanced at Tianzong at his feet, and sighed leisurely, "Dad, what are you talking about practicing martial arts for?" ”

"Hmph, don't practice if you don't want to, your father and I are too lazy to force you. With that, Wen Hua waved his sleeves and walked into the study.

When he approached the door, he glanced at his son, who was still sitting still, "Don't squat in my study, go back to your own yard!"

"Oh..."Wen Wen replied reluctantly, picked up the Tianzong and left.

Wen Hua stood at the door of the study, looked at his son's somewhat lonely back, and shook his head, "This is really... Alas"

With that, Wen Hua walked into the study, picked up the portrait of the ancestor again, spread it out and frowned.

The young man in the painting is full of energy, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a chivalrous tenderness, which leaps onto the page;

The world is slim, the path of cultivation is cold and clear, I hope to have one person, the first white way of warmth...

Wen Hua whispered the words on the painting, and there was a trace of regret in his eyes.

The white waves are vast and the sea is connected, and the flat sand is boundless.

On Dongshan Island, on a piece of beach near the pier, a woman in yellow looks out at the endless sea, as if waiting for something.

It was already evening, and the woman in yellow seemed to be waiting a little anxiously, and a young man in red beside her looked at her and seemed to see her thoughts.

"Miss Jingru, let's go back to the head sect and wait, I'll just wait here, Ah Yun is back, I will let her find you as soon as possible." ”

Hearing this, Jing Ru sighed, "Will she come back today, I'll be tomorrow... I'm going back tomorrow. ”

Xue Yi looked at the sea with a look of affirmation, "Yes, tomorrow is the Seagod Sacrifice, she will definitely come back today." ”

"Then, okay, then trouble Deputy Sect Leader Xue. ”

As he spoke, a tall sailing ship peeked out of the sea fog, and the Phnom Penh Sky Dragon Flag on the bow of the ship fluttered in the wind.

Xue Yi smiled, "Miss Jingru, Ah Yun has returned." ”

Jingru was overjoyed when she heard this, looked up, and saw that a big ship was coming, so she raised her legs and ran towards the dock, and shouted to Xue Yi behind her:

"I'll pick her up at the docks!"

After swimming fast on the sea for more than a month, Duguyun on the ship at this moment was exhausted, and he just wanted to hurry home and sleep well, after all, the sea ship was shaking, and it was really difficult for people to sleep well.

The boat slowly approached the dock, Duguyun walked out of the cabin and stood on the deck, and Jingru with a smile on her face was on the dock, looking at her.

"Jingru!"

Dugu Yun couldn't help but exclaim, his face was full of incredulity, "Why, why are you here!"

"Hee-hee, I've been here for days, waiting for you to come back. ”

Duguyun jumped onto the dock, and looked at Xue Yi on the side with a puzzled expression.

Xue Yi smiled and explained: "Miss Jingru and his elder brother Young Master Jingao have visited the Heavenly Dragon Sect together, and during this time, Miss Jingru has been waiting for you. ”

Duguyun, who had been tired at sea for a month, became energetic again at this moment, and looked at Jingru with joy, "I didn't expect that Meteor really heard my wish, and you came to me so soon!"

Jingru smiled and nodded, "Well, that's the wish of the two of us." ”

Although it is late, because tomorrow is the day of the sea god's sacrifice, Dongshan Island is very lively, whether it is the congregation or the ordinary fishermen on the island, they are all busy.

The two of them met again, lingering in the Dongshan Night Market, eating a dazzling array of fresh seafood, and watching the bizarre and extraordinary dance...

In the end, the two looked at each other and smiled, and stopped in front of Daddy Wu's noodle stall.

Jingru looked at the hot soup pot, and then looked at Dugu Yun beside him, his eyes were full of memories, "Ah Yun, we only met because of a bowl of sand tea noodles at that time. ”

Duguyun recalled the scene at that time, thinking that it was a bland chance encounter, but he never expected that in the dark, it seemed that God was arranging it, so that the mountains and seas separated each other would be reunited again and again.

The sand tea noodles made by Daddy Wu are more authentic and delicious than the one in Zhengyi City last time, which also makes Jingru more unforgettable.

In the middle of the night, the two held hands and strolled on the beach.

Jingru looked at the gray sea and sky, her face was full of loss, "In the past few days, the sea has been surging and the fog is thick, and I have never been able to see the sunrise..."

Dugu Yun said with a smile: "It's okay, tomorrow is the day of the sea god's sacrifice, and it is also the day of low tide, and the clouds will open and the moon will appear, and the moon rainbow will appear!"

Jingru was stunned when she heard this, and stopped, "Tomorrow... But tomorrow, I'm leaving. ”

Duguyun turned to look at Jingru and stroked the hair on her face, "It's okay, you can come to the East China Sea to find me again in the future." ”

Tears flowed out of Jingru's eyes, "This time, I can only come out with my brother, and next time, when will I wait..."

Dugu Yun also seemed to remember something, and his heart was a little heavy, "Yes, when will the next time we meet." ”

The sea breeze blew on their clothes, and the two people who were lost in their hearts were silent for a long time.

In the end, Duguyun, who was optimistic by nature, took the lead in putting down the hidden worries in his heart, looked at the sea and said lightly:

"In the legend of our East China Sea, there is a sea god living under the sea, with a human body and a snake tail, with a face, guarding the peace of the East China Sea..."

Jingru's eyes were full of curiosity, "Have you ever seen the sea god?"

"Hee-hee, of course I haven't seen it, it's just a legend. ”

However, while the two were talking, the light blue ring on Duguyun's hand emitted a quiet blue light...

A hint of blue light flashed in Dugu Yun's eyes, as if he had thought of something, "Let's make a wish to the sea god and ask him to disperse the sea fog so that we can see the sunrise tomorrow morning." ”

Jing Ru smiled when she heard this, and nodded, "Okay."

Although I know in my heart that making a wish to an ethereal god can't change anything, the two girls are still willing to place a glimmer of hope.

The two walked to the beach, and the water overflowed the beach, touching their toes.

Dugu Yun took off the blue ring on his hand and handed it to Jingru, "Put this on and put your hand into the seawater, so that the sea god will hear what you say." ”

Jingru took the ring and looked at it carefully in front of her eyes for a while, "This seems to be a pretty ordinary ring..."

"Hee-hee, although it looks ordinary, it's at least a thousand years ago. ”

Jingru looked at the ring in her hand and couldn't help but exclaim, "A thousand years?"

"Well, a thousand years ago, the pirate leader of Dongshan Island married into the Zhengyi Sect, and then I don't know what happened, she returned to the East China Sea alone and established our Tianlong Sect, she left this ring, saying that it is a token of the sea god, and it is also a token of Dugu and inheritance. ”

Jingru listened to the legendary story of a thousand years ago, and felt something, "She is really a free and easy woman, dare to love and dare to abandon." ”

Dugu Yun responded with a smile: "Yes, the children of the sea should be like the waves, unrestrained and cheerful. ”

Jingru looked at Duguyun, her eyes full of envy, "It's like, you." ”

But Duguyun shook his head, "I used to think it was like this, but now, it doesn't seem to be like this anymore..."

Jing Ru saw that Duguyun was a little lost in his words, and frowned, "What's wrong with you?"

Dugu Yun hid his lost look and said with a smile: "It's okay, you put on the ring and make a wish to the god of the sea." ”

"Well, good. ”

After that, Jingru put the blue ring in his hand, squatted down, stretched out his hand to dip into the seawater, closed his eyes, and prayed silently in his heart, "The legendary god of the sea, Jingru really wants to see the sunrise in the East China Sea, please help me..."

The ring emits a blue light, constantly floating in the seawater, circle by circle, slowly spreading...

After Jingru made a wish, she took off the ring and handed it to Duguyun, "Then, I just have to wait." ”

Dugu Yun put the ring back on his hand and nodded, "Well, let's wait together, waiting for the sea god to help us." ”

With that, the two stood side by side, quietly on the beach, praying for the arrival of the moon in the clouds.

The night is dark, the top of Mount Tai.

In front of a huge mausoleum built on a mountain, a group of black-clothed swordsmen were busy, carrying something and sending it to the mausoleum.

Two figures, standing on the top of the mausoleum mountain, looked at the busy swordsmen below, one of them, dressed in a magnificent costume and crowned, and calm, while the other, dressed in white, but with a gloomy expression, was actually Jue Ye and Jue Illusion father and son.

"Father, these are our people in Qilu, isn't it too cruel to treat them like this..."

Hearing this, Jue Ye sighed, and seemed to be unbearable, "This is the will left by the ancestor of the emperor, once there is a roar in the mausoleum, the young man will be thrown into the tomb..."

Jue Illusion couldn't help but shake his head, "I really don't know what kind of monster is in this tomb." ”

Jue Ye raised his eyebrows and kicked towards Jue Illusion, "Don't talk nonsense!"

Startled, he pouted, "Oh."

"You are my only son and the future sect master, so I brought you here today, remember, this is a secret, and you must not tell outsiders!"

Jue Illusion frowned, a little puzzled, "Brother Chen, can't you let him know?"

When Jue Ye heard this, he thought of his righteous son Jue Chen, his eyes were uncertain, and he responded lightly, "Hmm."

Absolute Illusion was silent for a long time, opened his mouth, and finally spoke: "Father, in fact, Brother Chen, is more suitable than me to be the future sect master. ”

"Hmph, is this the reason why you have been practicing for a long time recently!"

"I..." was choked by his father like this, and he didn't know how to answer.

Jue Ye shook his head helplessly, "Alas, Dad knows, you still think about that Duguyun." ”

"The child and her, really, can't there be a result..."

There was a hint of heaviness in Jue Ye's words, "Impossible."

The father and son talked for a long time, and after the black-clothed swordsmen under the mountain were busy, they left the cliff.

The figure of a young man, silently, fell on the place where the father and son were talking, and it was actually the wandering young man who had left the Zhengyi Sect.

The homeless young man closed his eyes, as if sensing something, and muttered alone, "The light of spiritual energy, more and more, is this world going to change, or..."

Bursts of light flew to all parts of Middle-earth, even over the land, to the ocean, and fell into the undulating waves...

The wandering young man stretched out his hand into the air, and the surrounding spiritual energy points of light surged and disappeared on his fingertips.

Every time this spiritual light enters the body, the heart of the homeless young man feels more ethereal, and in his mind, it seems that his own memory is about to break through the darkness and emerge...

The wandering young man shook his head, and in an instant, he came to the entrance of the mausoleum and walked in.

After all, it was the second time he had come here, and the wandering young man walked in the darkness with his memory, and when he reached the mouth of the sinking cave, he jumped and jumped down, and when he landed, he had already reached the first layer of the stone cave.

Hearing this, the stone snake opened its red eyes and swept towards the homeless young man who had landed on the ground.

Looking at the bones and slag all over the ground, the homeless young man couldn't help but shake his head, "You have eaten enough." ”

Seeing that an acquaintance was coming, the stone snake nodded, and the wandering young man looked up at the stone snake, looking at the stone snake's body, there were pieces of snake scales, emitting a little light, and secretly thought, "It's not even a month, is this to restore the flesh and blood..." ”

"Brother Snake, take off your feet, I will go to the cave below. At this moment, the stone snake was still as before, coiled over, and shrouded the entrance to the next layer of the stone cave.

The stone snake was stunned, and did not open its mouth, but made a human voice, "You'd better not go down, leave quickly." ”

The homeless young man looked at the stone snake dumbfounded, "You can speak!"

The stone snake's eyes were uncertain, "It won't be long before my consciousness will be fully awakened, and then..."

The homeless youth smiled, "Aren't you awake now?"

The stone snake nodded, staring at the wandering youth, "It's just my body's instinctive consciousness now..."

"The body... Instinctive awareness?"

"You go, wake up, I won't know you, maybe I'll eat you. ”

The wandering young man couldn't help but be stunned, looked at the stone snake that was about to awaken, and then said with a smile: "Haha, like you, I didn't get my memory back, and when my memory recovers, maybe I will kill you." ”

Hearing this, the stone snake grinned a little cutely, "I can see that you are very strong in the flesh, but you are not my opponent." ”

The homeless young man pouted in embarrassment, "Heh, you can see it." ”

"However, the aura in your body is constantly draining, is this the price of waking up from petrification? The homeless youth seemed to remember something, and went on to say the same.

The stone snake nodded, "Yes, the aura of this heaven and earth is too thin, and the way of heaven is more than enough to be felt..."

When the homeless young man heard this, he immediately felt a little incomprehensible, and couldn't help but laugh and said, "Then why did you come to wake up, dedicate your spiritual energy, and benefit heaven and earth?"

The stone snake shook his head, "Heaven and earth have signs of recovery."

The wandering youth looked at the stone snake and asked in a deep voice, "What are you going to do when you wake up?" ”

The stone snake still shook his head, "I don't know, I won't know until I wake up." ”

"Oh, okay, come and move, I'm going down. ”

The stone snake was stunned and nodded, "Okay."

After saying that, the stone snake moved its body, and a pillar of light projected out from under its hovering body, and the light of the aura surged....

The wandering young man looked at the pillar of light in amazement, and then at the stone snake sitting on it, "This..."

The stone snake saw that the wandering young man was puzzled, and said loudly: "It's the spirit array below, which is about to be resurrected." ”

The wandering young man lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then looked up at the stone snake, "Is this what you said, the sign of the recovery of heaven and earth?"

The stone snake nodded, "Not bad."

The wandering young man jumped over the snake's body, looked at the light hole below, and said in a deep voice: "The eight below, are they your brothers?"

The stone snake shook his head, "No, it's my eight clones." ”

The wandering young man was suddenly horrified in his heart, and looked at the stone snake incredulously, "It seems that when you wake up, I am really not your opponent." ”

Bursts of spiritual light, continuous points of spiritual energy, as if attracted, surged towards the body of the wandering youth, and the stone snake's eyes showed a look of doubt.

The wandering young man ignored the stone snake and jumped to the next level of the stone cave.

The stone snake also turned around again, and covered the hole steadily.

In the second layer of the stone cave, the light of the magic circle changed from the previous dimness to brightness.

The wandering young man walked to the stone platform in the center of the magic circle, only to see that a large part of the aura light that emerged from the magic circle poured into the stone corpse.

The wandering youth came to the stone corpse, sat down opposite him, and fell silent.
