After a long conversation all night, the sleepy Zhao Zhishui was arranged in a Taoist guest house the next morning, and Chu Chou and Zhao Lunhong walked casually on the mountain, and neither of them was sleepy. For cultivators like them, it is not a problem to go without sleep or food for more than ten days in a non-combat state.

"Lunhong, how have you been all these years?" From yesterday to this morning, it was Chu Chou who had been talking, and Daoist Linghong had been listening. This was the first time Chu Chou asked Lunhong a question.

"It's not too difficult, you can have a full stomach every day, and I read Taoist scriptures every day, those books from the Dao Ancestors of the Dongji Dao Palace and the books of the palace masters of the past dynasties, I have almost read them two or three times. I can be regarded as having read 10,000 books. Daoist Linghong thought about it and replied, his tone was quite emotional. If it wasn't for Brother Chu who saved him and sent him here, I don't know what his life would have been like in the future!

"It's hard for you. For so many years, he has done his best for the Qingxu Taoist Temple, otherwise, he would now be in the five-grade realm, not at the peak of the fourth-grade There are dozens of people who have not taken a step forward. Chu Chou said with some regret, "It's a pity that I can't help you, your situation is like a room that has gone through wind and rain, the walls are full of gaps, and there is no spiritual energy internal force." But I can make the loss of internal energy in your body slower. It will not fall back to the realm of the third grade in ten years. ”

"Brother Xie Chu!" Linghong Daoist thanked him, his eyes were full of sincerity.

"Lun Hong, what are you polite to your big brother Chu?" Chu Chou smiled, "It's still the same as back then." ”

"Hahaha, Brother Chu, my original intention remains the same. This is the most precious!" Daoist Linghong laughed for the first time in decades, and felt very happy.

"For so many years, I have actually been missing Brother Chu in my heart, thank you Brother Chu. When I first started, the driving force for my cultivation was you, but later, with the changes of the world and the passage of time, I buried this dream deep in my heart and put all my thoughts on the incense of Qingxuguan and my own cultivation. Daoist Linghong glanced at Qingxuguan in the distance, and said with a smile, "Actually, I still envy Brother Chu, who has spent his life happily in the rivers and lakes, singing and riding horses, and spending this life freely." ”

"Speaking of envy, I envy people like you even more, who have a home and can return. Although I have a home, but ......" Chu Chou was silent, just looking at the green mountains and green waters in the distance, his face was as usual.

"Is there anything else that Brother Chu can't let go?" Linghong Daoist looked surprised, not believing that Chu Chou still had anything that he couldn't let go.

"Letting go is letting go, but letting go of obsession and picking up memories again. In the past, I had obsessions, and my heart was as plain as water, but now I have let go, but my heart is turbulent. ”

"That'...... Brother Chu, I don't know where you are going next?" Linghong Daoist originally wanted to enlighten Chu Chou, just as he faced those people who asked for signatures every day, but before the words came out, after realizing that the people in front of him were not those people under the mountain, but Brother Chu, whom he admired, he swallowed some of the truths he was about to say.

"Let's turn around the Eastern Regions first, then go to the Northern Wilderness, and then go to the West Pole or Zhongzhou, and then make a decision. ”

"Hmm. Brother Chu, I really miss the time when you took me to the rivers and lakes in the past! Even if the memory is blurred, I can't forget that feeling for the rest of my life!" said Linghong Daoist with emotion.

"Although today's world is not good, the rivers and lakes are still good, and they are not as bad as imagined. Chu Chou glanced at Daoist Linghong and smiled, "Do you want to go down the mountain to walk the rivers and lakes?"

Daoist Linghong was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't know what to do. Since he went up Qingxu Mountain more than 80 years ago, he seems to have never descended the mountain, and those things that need to be done every day were all his master or senior brother's door going down the mountain. Later, after the master was released and ascended to heaven, the senior brothers also left one after another, and he was the only one left, but his apprentices and grandchildren all grew up and were able to stand alone. But he no longer has the desire to go down the mountain and walk the rivers and lakes when he was young. He has been on this mountain for more than eighty years.

"Think...... It's just that I'm ...... now."

"I'm already two people of more than two years old, and I haven't walked the rivers and lakes all over again? As long as there is chivalry in the heart, where and when can you not go? Between the world and the earth, if the white horse passes through the gap, it is all of a sudden. When you are alive, you must not only read thousands of books, but also travel thousands of miles, and what you get on paper is always shallow. Chu Chou put his hand on Linghong Dao Chang's shoulder and patted it.

"Haha! While my Sun Lunhong can still walk and withstand the bumps, I will go to the rivers and lakes once?!" Sun Lunhong threw away the title of "Linghong Daoist" and said with a smile.

"Shanya!" Chu Chou smiled and nodded.

"Brother Chu, take care!"

"You are the same, take care! This farewell, it may be the last goodbye for you and me in this life, you are the first old man I met on this trip, these two days are fun!"

"Haha! I can make Brother Chu happy, I am very relieved!"

On the same day, there was a news that the Qingxu Guanguan took his youngest teenage apprentice and began to travel all over the world, walking the rivers and lakes.

Since then, there have been two more Jianghu Lang in the world who help the poor and do chivalrous justice.

Chu Chou looked at the backs of Sun Lunhong and the young Taoist priest coming down the mountain, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. There are still many people in the world who are sunny in their hearts, and this world is not as dark as imagined after all. How rugged the world is, how helpless life is.

The road is rugged just like the repeated human feelings, the enmity and enmity can not be too clear, and the people are bright and ambitious. Sometimes it's hard to be confused, sometimes it's hard to be clear, and sometimes it's both confused and clear. Just as the wise are foolish, and the foolish are wise, if the world is always calculated like a tendon, the result will not be too good. But if the clouds are always light and the wind is light, no matter what the heart will fluctuate, it is even worse.

When the clouds are light and the wind is light, it is necessary to make Mount Tai collapse in front of you without being surprised. When the wind is surging, it is even more necessary to look up to the sky and sing loudly about the injustice in your heart.

Chu Chou walked alone on Qingxu Mountain, listening to the insects and birds, watching the autumn leaves return to the roots, thinking about some things in the past, just like watching the past of others, the clouds are light and the wind is light.

Suddenly, walk to a verdant bamboo forest, pass through the forest, see the clear pool in the distance, the water is particularly clear, there is no insect song and no bird cry here.

Chu Chou stopped. Because next to that clear pond, there is a small white lilac flower.

The fragrance of flowers was faint, wafting into Chu Chou's nose, into his memories, and even into his heart.

Lilacs bloom, beautiful women can be returned?

"Don't be ......," Chu Chou muttered to himself, and then remembered another sentence, and sang loudly, "Who is more frivolous than the young?
