Chapter 01: Learning to Grow Up
Eagle's Beak Cliff, on the trail. One in front of the other, a woman and a man, two figures not far away were walking slowly.
However, looking at the way it walks, it is a little confusing. I saw that the girl walking in front of him was free, the clouds were light and the wind was light, and the boy walking behind was frightened and frightened. Among the two: the female is as cold as a cold fairy who does not eat the fireworks of the world, and the male is unkempt like a sloppy beggar.
In the midst of such an out-of-place picture, suddenly, a cold and piercing voice that made people feel chills in the bottom of their hearts broke the silence of the mountain path.
"Follow me, and you'll die," the girl said coldly, glancing back at the boy.
The boy who heard this voice already knew that what the girl in front of him said was not to intimidate him. Therefore, at this time, the boy had an indescribable fear in his heart, so he could only stop his heavy steps, and stood in place without moving.
After standing for a moment, the boy pointed to the road in front of him, and he didn't know how much courage he mustered before he held back a sentence from his mouth: "No...... I say...... That girl...... Don't get me wrong...... Because I...... My family also walks this path. “
The cold woman who walked in front listened to the wooden boy's nervous explanation. Therefore, there is no need to embarrass him. So he turned his head, ignored her, and walked away slowly. Seeing this, the beggar-like boy behind him calmed down his nervous mood a little as if he was about to be amnesty.
"Such a beautiful fairy, I can't imagine that her heart is as cruel as a snake and scorpion. The boy said to himself in confusion.
After a while, seeing that the girl really didn't have the heart to embarrass himself, he dragged his feet and slowly followed the girl forward. It didn't take long for the two to reach the cliff pass, and a fork in the road that split in two appeared in front of them. One of them is a trail down the cliff to the side of the river, while the other is a mountain road that leads down the mountainside of the eagle's beak to a town outside the mountain.
"I wish she had gone the other way, the other way......"
The boy who had arrived at the mouth of the cliff was secretly praying behind the girl at this moment. Perhaps it was really a matter of heaven, and the girl really chose the mountain road that led to the town outside the mountains, just as the man thought.
Seeing this scene, the boy's heart, which was already hanging in his throat, was put back in his stomach. When the girl was no longer visible, he took a step out of his heavy legs and embarked on another path down the mountain.
"Stand ......"
Suddenly, another cold, piercing voice came from behind the man.
At this moment, the boy's feet, which had already stepped out, were frightened by this sudden cold voice. Now he didn't dare to open his legs and continue walking, nor did he dare to look back at the woman behind him. The whole body was also shivering involuntarily.
"It's over...... Finished...... It seems that my little life really has to be explained here today. “
......
However, the boy waited in place for a long time, and did not see the woman do anything to him, and his nervous heart relieved. It's just that his sloppy body still trembles uncontrollably.
"Today's Things ......"
The girl behind her finally spoke, but before she could finish the words in her mouth, the boy who was stunned quickly took the words and shouted, "Don't worry, girl...... Feel relieved...... I won't say it......"
"I'm really not going to say it......"
The girl looked at the boy who was already scared and half dead. The corners of his mouth suddenly smiled slightly, but his voice was still cold: "I just want to say, today's matter, if you have the opportunity to help me bring a message to the Immortal Cloud Sect. “
"What...... What...... What's the matter?"
"Tell the people of the Xianyun Sect for me, don't hang the rotten signboard of the famous and righteous way all day long, the fox is fake and the tiger is mighty, I Mo Xiaoxue really don't eat that set. “
"......Remember, no," the girl threatened.
"Remember...... Remember," the boy nodded.
......
After the girl finished speaking, the boy didn't care whether he remembered it or not, and nodded blankly like a rattle without thinking about it: "Remember...... Remembered ......"
The girl named Mo Xiaoxue, after she finished explaining, didn't care if the boy remembered it or not, only to see a white shadow flashing, and the girl had already disappeared.
The boy, who was still trembling in place, finally confirmed that the girl named Mo Xiaoxue was indeed not behind him. Only then did he begin to spread his feet and run down the mountain with all his might
As for the sentence she asked him to remember, he had already thrown it on the cliff. And the only thing that can be said to be able to remember it is only Mo Xiaoxue's exquisite cheeks and that pretty good name.
Late autumn nights always come early, and the sky is getting darker. At this moment, the Yimei Taoist who was on the top of the stone staircase in Sanqingguan was holding a broom, looking at the wide stone staircase from top to bottom over and over again, as if he was searching for something.
"According to this hour, Yifan should have come back a long time ago. “
"Could it be that it is difficult to walk on the mountain road when it rains......"
"That's not right......"
"Could it be that something happened ......?" Yimei Daoist didn't dare to think about it, so he could only use that somewhat vague gaze to search for Lin Yifan's figure on the stone staircase.
"No...... Why is it still not?"
Yimei Daoren, who still hadn't found Lin Yifan's figure, was about to step down the stone ladder with those trembling legs, when a figure finally appeared in the eyes of Yimei Daoren's infinite expectation. After about half a bag of cigarettes, I could already see the figure's face. Yes, this is Lin Yifan who returned to the view after sending off his senior sister
It's just that on the unkempt, sloppy, blue and purple cheeks. I don't know if it's because the stone ladder is too fast or what, his face is a little unusually pale, and there is still a trace of fear in his eyes that can't be hidden.
"Master, I'...... It's back. “
Before the person arrived, Lin Yifan's voice had already come, and he was a little out of breath. In a moment, Lin Yifan had already arrived in front of Yimei Daoren.
"Master, you ......" looked at the anxious eyebrows, and Lin Yifan was a little sad.
"Yifan, how did you do this, did you have any accidents? Or did you encounter something?" Yimei Daoist looked at Lin Yifan in front of him, a little surprised, a little uncomfortable, and a lot of questions?
"That me...... Master, I'm fine...... It's okay, it's okay. Lin Yifan didn't lie much when he was young, so he was a little stumbling.
"Then why are you so pale...... And your eyes......" Yimei Daoren was still a little confused in his heart.
"This ...... The master is fine! This is probably because I ran back and forth twice today, so I'm tired. Lin Yifan blinked and said.
Once a person learns to lie, the more he speaks, the smoother he becomes. Lin Yifan is the same.
Lin Yifan is very careful and kind, and he lives a very pure life. He is also very honest, just like he cultivates the Tao, he is unwilling to be unwilling. From the first day, Yimei Taoist taught him to cultivate, and he clearly told the master his wishes.
However, as he grew older, Lin Yifan began to slowly understand what to say and what not to say. After so many recent events one after another, Lin Yifan also began to slowly learn to grow up. Now that Ye Qing has left, he knows that he is the heaven of these three clear views.
"Well, it's okay, it's okay. “
"Master, let's go back to the house! You see it's getting dark. Lin Yifan said as he reached out to support Yimei Daoren.
"Let's go...... Let's go......"
"Is your senior sister okay?"
"Senior sister is fine, but he seems to have cried secretly......"
"She's so strong!"
"You'll ...... later"
......
Yimei Daoren didn't continue, he didn't know if his baby apprentice and Yifan's life had collided, and he didn't know how many of her baby apprentices would have in the future. He understands all too well the hardships and hardships on this road, although this road is full of infinite hopes and dreams. But on this road, one carelessness is dust to dust, and dust to dust. Thinking of this, the Taoist couldn't help but feel sad again.
By the time the two of them had dinner, it was already dark.
I don't know why, since the night Ye Qing left, Yimei Daoist would sort out some incense, candles, and paper money every night like that day, and go to Sanqing Hall to start meditating, and it was dawn when he sat down. And what about Lin Yifan, in the days after Ye Qing's departure, he would be shocked by the terrifying dreams on Xiaoyun Mountain almost every night. After that terrible nightmare lasted for a short time, it was slowly overwhelmed by all the trivial things in that view. Slowly disappearing. However, the woman named Mo Xiaoxue did linger in Lin Yifan's mind, as if she had been engraved in his heart.
Although the days that followed in the view made Lin Yifan occasionally feel a little tired, it was also fulfilling. On such an ordinary day, the habit that he used to take for granted and went to sleep by the small river almost every day was no longer there with the drag of trivial things in the view. It's only occasionally that I can't sleep and have insomnia, so I will take Ye Qing to leave Lin Yifan's hairpin, go there alone and sit there for a while, and then look at Xiao Jiang in front of me and ask myself silently.
"My senior sister, what's going on now. “
"Is she still happy?"
"Is she okay?"
......
