Chapter 133: Battle at the Top (2)
Jinghua Lujun sat at a wooden table not far away, looked at the incense burner on the table, and said slowly: "Actually, I don't know much about my uncle, in my impression, she has always rarely been involved in the world, most of the time in closed cultivation, the same as my master, the only difference is that my master liked to travel down the mountain back then, so he accepted a lot of disciples, and she has never accepted apprentices in her life, and there is no heir. ”
"Then does she have any anecdotes or earth-shattering deeds in her life?" Chu Xunyu interjected and asked.
"Probably not, at least not in my memory. Jinghua Lujun smiled and shook her head, "I was very young at the time, I guess even if I don't know, in my memory, she can be regarded as a big thing, that is, she was occasionally sent out by the master to travel, once in a remote mountain village in Shanxi, I have rescued many villagers who have suffered from the plague, I am afraid that for her, it is a big deal." ”
"That's it. Chu Xunyu nodded, "What about your sect?
"No, Uncle Shi has always been a quiet person, and in my impression, there was a quarrel. ”
"Oh, what's going on? Is it convenient for the senior to say it directly?" Mu Yuan's eyes rolled, and his interest suddenly increased.
"Hehe, it's nothing, it's not a confidential matter, it's just for a little daily triviality. Jinghua Lujun slowly recalled those years.
At that time, Liuquan Yujun was an orphan who was carried into the mountain gate since he was a child, and he was not good at words all his life, although he was quite good at cultivation, but he was extremely low-key in interacting with people, neither married, nor children, nor apprentices, and he could be regarded as friends in his life, that is, a few sisters and sisters.
After surviving the catastrophe, ordinary people will explain what happened after their deaths, and then in the eyes of thousands of people who admire and worship, they will fly to the sky with dignity, leaving endless legends for future generations. But this Liuquan Yujun, after surviving the catastrophe, did not rush to ascend, but delayed in the division for a long, long time, why? It turns out that Liuquan Yujun's heart is a person who is extremely concerned about the old love, many people are like this, don't look at the usual few words, in fact, deep down, very dependent on the old love.
Liu Quan Yujun stayed in the master for a long, long time, to sit quietly by the stream where she played as a child, to drink tea in the boudoir of the senior sister, etc., and even the kitchen of the low-level disciples She went in for a long time, for the grass and trees in the master, she was reluctant to leave, often just watched silently, a look was a whole day, her eyes were full of memories of the past and infinite tenderness.
The head and the elders couldn't bear to look at her, so they told her why not find a disciple to pass on to their relatives, or marry a wishful husband, and then give birth to a child, so that they can have a successor. But Liu Quan Yujun shook his head and refused to allow it, and shirked it for various reasons. Until one day, the head insisted on letting her find a disciple, and even scolded loudly, Liuquan Yujun was also told to lose his temper, and the two quarreled, and then soon after, Liuquan Yujun flew to the sky.
This is probably the only story that happened to her in the door, Jinghua Lujun said all this, and asked the three of them with a smile, what conclusions had they come to.
The three of them all had very helpless expressions on their faces when they heard this, how could such an old thing help. Jinghua Lujun was not in a hurry, smiled at the three of them for a while, and then took the initiative to say: "That's it, you two little friends go to the former residence of Uncle Shi and her back then, anyway, it's still early now, and the room is empty, so it's okay for you to go, maybe you can think of something." ”
"Well, well, that's the case, then thank you seniors. Chu Xunyu nodded and got up and saluted. After speaking, he and Mu Yuan got up and walked out together, leaving Wangchen and Jinghua Lujun motionless at the table.
"Huh, senior, why don't you leave?" Mu Yuan asked strangely when he saw that Wanchen didn't follow.
"Let's go, where there are so many things, let's go ours. Chu Xunyu shook his head helplessly, pulled him away, and sighed at the same time that Mu Yuan was really an elm head, and he didn't breathe the moon. On the contrary, he made a big red face in the same place.
Not long after going out, there was a Taoist boy who took them to the former residence of Liuquan Yujun, which was a two-story small wooden building with a separate courtyard. Chu Xunyu and Mu Yuan pushed the door in, looked around, and felt that it was also extremely elegant, with an otherworldly style.
I went up to the second floor and came to the living room, a touch of sunlight poured into the room, the bookshelves were empty, and it was estimated that the people in the door had already been cleaned up, leaving only some basic furniture, telling the sadness of parting.
"Huh?" Mu Yuan was slightly surprised, looked at the desk next to him, there was a Tang Sancai doll, picked it up and said with a smile, "I can't see that this senior's life is still quite tasteful, this is produced in Chang'an West Kiln, and the price is very expensive in the world." ”
When Chu Xunyu heard Mu Yuan say this, he also looked back curiously, but he quickly moved his gaze up and stared at the calligraphy and painting hanging on the wall.
Mu Yuan saw Chu Xunyu looking up, and raised his head curiously, and couldn't help laughing: "Ye Langzhong, what are you looking at, isn't this just a poem, even I know, this is one of Li Qingzhao's "Linjiang Immortals", it is an ordinary mortal, without any aura fluctuations, looking at the whole article is a souvenir, sighing about the years, it is estimated that she sighed and wrote when she left, what is strange about this." ”
The calligraphy and painting on the wall is a poem, which is indeed Li Qingzhao's "Linjiang Immortal", and the words are written like this:
The courtyard is a little deeper, and the cloud windows and fog pavilions are often open,
The willow shoots and plum calyx are gradually distinct, and the spring returns to the moling tree,
People old Jiankang City.
How many things have happened to the moon and the wind, and now I am old and unsuccessful,
Who is haggard and more carved, trying the light is meaningless,
I'm not in the mood to step on the snow.
But Chu Xunyu raised his own questions, he pointed to this character and said: "You see, the whole poem is written in italics, the font is beautiful, it is indeed from a woman's pen, but only the four words 'courtyard', 'cloud window', 'willow top', and 'stepping on snow' are written in cursive writing, I think, this willow spring Yujun must mean something." ”
"I've also noticed this, but there's nothing strange around here, all the things of the cultivators have been taken away by the door, leaving only these mundane things for future generations to admire, and it doesn't mean too much to think about it, otherwise how can the descendants in the door not pay attention?" Mu Yuan put down Tang Sancai in his hand, and walked over to look at this character.
Chu Xunyu stepped forward and bowed his head silently, thinking hard for a long time, and couldn't understand it, seeing Tang Sancai who had just been put down by Mu Yuan on the table, he couldn't help but wonder: "Huh, this puppet should be a pair, why is there one missing?"
"Oh, what couple?" Mu Yuanqi said.
"Look. Chu Xunyu picked up the puppet, "This pair of puppets is called 'Drum Se Blowing Sheng', one person is drumming and one is playing Sheng, and now this drum puppet is still there, but the other is gone." ”
"Hey, I thought you were going to say something, I guess I accidentally lost it when the descendants were cleaning. ”
"Not true. Chu Xunyu shook his head, pointed to the traces on the table and said, "The traces of the items here are still new, I guess this item should have been missing for only three days, I'll ask." After saying that, he went downstairs and walked out of the door, called the Taoist boy of Fang Cai, and asked about this thing.
Xiaodao Tong said: "It's strange, it's obviously two, it's the relics of the ancestors, put here for future generations to see, when I cleaned the room two days ago, I saw it, how did it disappear?"
"Who else has been here?" asked Chu Xunyu.
"Look at what you said, senior brother. Xiaodaotong said with a smile, "This is the former residence of Houshan, for future generations to see, everyone can come as long as they want, who will remember these." ”
"That's it. Mu Yuan rushed out of the door from behind and interjected, "Little junior brother, let me ask you, has anyone been here in the past two or three days?"
"Yes. Xiao Daotong nodded, "Yesterday morning, there was a senior brother in white who came, because he was not as familiar as you, so I accompanied him throughout the whole process, only he came in, it is estimated that he may have taken it." ”
"Oh?" Chu Xunyu said curiously, "Who is he, do you know?"
"I don't know. Xiao Daotong shook his head, "But his cultivation is profound, it is estimated that he is the same as the two of them, and he also has the general stage of the Yuan Infancy, and he is a man of few words, asking him anything, he is just vague, and he shirks the past, oh, by the way, he is the same as this senior brother with a sword on his back, and he also has a jade pendant around his neck." ”
"It's not nonsense. Mu Yuan pouted, "There are many people hanging jade pendants in this world, who knows who he is." ”
"No!" Chu Xunyu suddenly remembered something, waved his hand and turned around and said suspiciously, "I know who he is." ”
"Who?"
"Mu Yuan, do you remember the old man we saw in Xuzhou City?"
"Oh-" Mu Yuan suddenly realized, "is that the old man you said that night, you want to surprise me?"
"Yes, it should be him, he said before he left, he must find a reason for me to come out. ”
Mu Yuan asked Xiao Daotong strangely: "What did this white-clothed Taoist friend do when he came in?"
"He?" said Xiao Daotong for a moment, "he came in to see, but he lingered for a while in front of the words in the bedroom on the second floor, then looked out the window and muttered for a long time, and finally came to his senses and left." ”
"Oh, that's it, thank you, junior brother, we have no problem, you can go. Chu Xunyu nodded.
"Well, the two senior brothers are at their own convenience. Xiao Daotong turned and left.
The two turned around and went upstairs, and returned to the bedroom together, standing at the window, looking at the late autumn trees in the courtyard outside the window, and after a long time, Mu Yuan asked softly, "How is it?"
"No, what about you?" Chu Xunyu also kept staring at the front carefully.
"Neither did I. ”
"......" Chu Xunyu froze for a while, turned around and helplessly picked up the puppet on the table, pondered the calligraphy and paintings on the wall repeatedly, suddenly woke up, came to the window, raised his left hand, and an enchantment flew out, enveloping the courtyard, and with a pinch of his right hand, the most basic five-element Dao technique, the word "water" flew out and shot into the sky.
After a while, snowflakes fell in this small courtyard, sprinkled all over the courtyard. Chu Xunyu pointed to a few of the trees: "Look, this is the 'willow tree' mentioned in the poem." ”
Originally, the willow tree generally grows by the lake, rarely planted in the mountains, but there are a few dwarf trees not far away, the branches are broad, the snowflakes fall on it, after the ice is formed, hang on it, drag down the branches, quite have the feeling of weeping willows, just like the fog pine landscape in the eastern part of Liaodong.
In this way, the courtyard, the cloud window, and the willow tops are all there. Mu Yuan nodded, "There is one snow left, what do you mean?"
"The snow walker is light and traceless, and the intention is that things are small, and you and I observe them carefully. Chu Xunyu and Mu Yuan's eyes widened, and they stared at the willow top.
After seeing it clearly, Mu Yuan suddenly shouted: "Look, treading the snow trail." "It turned out that there were chaotic stones on the edge of the willows, but after the snow fell, a winding path was formed and submerged into the back mountain. But then Mu Yuanqi said: "But this is too ordinary, every winter, it snows here, hasn't anyone noticed?"
Chu Xunyu shook his head: "You don't know this, it's cold in the north, and there will be a lot of snow in winter, and it's goose feather snow, looking at such a snow-stepping trail, as I expected, but in a moment's effort, it disappeared, and it is estimated that few people can notice it, not to mention that such a hint is not protected by the organ formation, which is obviously contrary to the common sense of the cultivation realm, and it is virtual and real, so it will not be noticed." ”
Sure enough, as Chu Xunyu expected, but with half a cup of tea, the so-called snow-stepping stone path was covered by the heavy snow without a trace, Chu Xunyu pinched the spell, the spell was withdrawn, and the spell was cast, so that the place was restored to its original state.
"Okay," Mu Yuan nodded, picking up the puppet on the table, "Let's go and see what kind of old elixir is contained in this immortal gourd." ”
