Chapter 68: Far Away
In the middle of the moon, frogs chirped outside the house, and the cool mountain breeze swept away the heat accumulated by Shenyang Peak for a whole day, making people feel more comfortable.
In the courtyard where everyone lived in Luoyue Peak, at the door of the largest house, Du Qianye and Liu Zifeng found a stone platform to sit on. In front of the two of them, there were five or six wine jars, three of which were empty. At this moment, Du Qianye was grabbing a jar of wine and pouring it into his mouth, and then belched beautifully.
His face was flushed, looking up at the white and jade moon above his head, and a wicked smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Little junior brother, you see that this bright moon is not like a fairy who has just come out of the bath, it is white and flawless, empty and clear, if you can be free and unrestrained in your life, how comfortable should you be?"
After the two drank tea, Liu Zifeng was inexplicably pulled out of the room by Du Qianye. I don't know where the third senior brother found the master's wine, so the two simply sat in front of the door and drank it. The cool mountain breeze blows a little cold, but it also has a different taste.
was a little emotionally moved by what he said, Liu Zifeng picked up the wine jar and drank two sips. I don't know when, or under the leadership of the senior brothers, Liu Zifeng has become accustomed to this kind of day of drinking a few glasses every three or five days. He said with emotion: "How can there be an unrestrained day, the things in my heart are inextricably linked, and I don't know when I can do it." ”
Du Qianye ignored him, rolled up his sleeves to reveal the shining scales, and said with a smile: "What's not to do?" Little junior brother, have you ever thought that one day in the future, if you fulfill your wish, then what will you do in the next few days?"
Liu Zifeng was silent for a moment, and thought for a long time before replying: "I don't know myself, this matter alone is enough for me to cultivate desperately." ”
The night was dark, and the bright moonlight was very reluctant to fall on the two people who had their own hearts.
Liu Zifeng has already thought about this problem, and he can't think about it if he doesn't want to think about it anymore. From the moment he started his monasticism, he had only one goal. What is immortality? Liu Zifeng also didn't think about it, immortality was meaningless to him. If he could choose, he would rather be a mediocre mortal person, without magical powers, without you fighting for me, and spending his life quietly.
The future is a fog, and he can't even think about the things in the present, let alone in the future.
Thinking of this, Liu Zifeng couldn't help but sigh. In two days, the Kung Fu trial will be over, and then he will be able to find the rest of the "Earth Ghost Technique", which is his top priority at the moment, and he can't delay. Thinking about this, he turned his head to look at the third senior brother Du Qianye and asked, "Third senior brother, do you know anything about the ancient scrolls?"
Du Qianye wiped the corners of his mouth, frowned and said, "Little junior brother, why are you asking this? Could it be that you are interested in this?"
Liu Zifeng didn't know why Du Qianye was so colorful, nodded and said, "Yes, I heard the master talk about it a few days ago, and I was a little curious. ”
Du Qianye straightened his posture, turned around with a serious face and faced Liu Zifeng, and said in a deep voice: "Senior brother, of course I have heard of ancient scrolls and the like. It is said that it is an ancient scroll, but in fact, most of them are some mental formulas that have not been passed down in ancient times, or some extreme magic powers, which have been lost everywhere in the long years. Although the contents of these scrolls are esoteric, it is almost impossible to find them all. Besides, some unpredictable mental scrolls are still sealed by various unknown means, and even if they are obtained by chance, they are extremely difficult to break, do you understand?"
He spoke to Liu Zifeng in detail as he took out a somewhat worn piece of parchment from his bosom. Liu Zifeng looked at it, and there were a lot of text patterns densely carved on it that he had never seen before, and only a few humanoid patterns similar to magic could be recognized. The corners of the parchment were torn and damaged, and it was clear that the contents were only part of an ancient scroll.
Du Qianye spread out the parchment paper indifferently, pointed to the content on it and said: "This is part of the fragments of an ancient scroll, and the content of the mental method recorded on it with those strange symbols is the content of the mind, I know that I haven't fully comprehended it yet, and I can only comprehend one or two magic powers from those patterns." Rao is so, but these two moves are much more powerful than many of the moves I have seen. But if you want to practice this mental method, I'm afraid it's impossible. ”
Du Qianye thought that Liu Zifeng had seen the ancient scroll for the first time, so he handed him the parchment for him to admire. When he did this, he naturally saw Liu Zifeng's deep curiosity about the ancient scrolls. This is obviously not a good thing, there have been many people who realized that the mental method recorded in the ancient scroll is more powerful, so they abandoned the original mental method and reconstructed, but in the end they spent countless energy in vain, stuck on the bottleneck and made no progress.
This parchment is soft and comfortable to the touch, with a hint of warmth. The font on it is very different from the font on the fragment of "Earth Ghost Art", and it is clear that it was not the work of one person. Of course, the writing in ancient times was different, and at that time there were not even the boundaries of Kyushu, and of course only the person who recorded these characters understood the meaning.
Seeing that although Liu Zifeng frowned, he couldn't put down this parchment, Du Qianye secretly said helplessly, and said in a deep voice: "Little junior brother, this ancient scroll has been in my hands for many years, and now it is of little use to me. Since you love it so much, then this thing will be given to you. However, you must keep in mind that the contents of the ancient scrolls can only be used as a reference study, and you must never abandon the sect's mental method and concentrate on studying. Otherwise, if you can't practice without a follow-up mindset, it will be too late to regret it. ”
Liu Zifeng sighed, and also knew the temper of the third senior brother, and immediately thanked: "Thank you, third senior brother, I understand in my heart." ”
Du Qianye saw that he looked serious, and this matter was over. After thinking about it for a while, he then asked: "Senior brother, since you are a member of the ghost clan, you must have practiced the mental method of the Liu clan ghost clan, right? As far as I know, the mental method of the ghost clan is mainly the soul, but there is no conflict with the sect's "Nine Xia Xuanjing". ”
After chatting just now, Liu Zifeng dared to tell him that he had cultivated the fragment of the "Earth Ghost Technique" at this time, so he could only nod and say: "Yes, my physique is a little special, in addition to the "Nine Xia Xuanjing", I also practiced the mental method of the ghost clan. It's just that my comprehension seems to be a little worse, and I can't break through the current realm yet. ”
"Talented?"
Du Qianye smiled, and a hint of mockery appeared on his face: "How useful can those things be? It's just a little higher than ordinary people's starts, if you really focus on the goal of immortality, how much help can talent have?"
After speaking, Du Qianye's face was straight, and he looked at Liu Zifeng's eyes and said, "At least, this world is fair." As the saying goes: there are gains and losses. A man of extraordinary talent must have his own similarities with others, and if a piece of mortal iron can be forged for thousands of years, it will be countless times harder than Xuanjin. The road is the same way, and it is entirely the function of the heart. Do you know why I'm saying these things to you?"
Speaking of this, Du Qianye seems to be quite serious, and he has the posture that Liu Zifeng is going to make a move if he doesn't answer well.
Liu Zifeng looked dazed, shook his head and said honestly: "I don't know." ”
Du Qianye covered his forehead and sighed: "Perseverance, perseverance, the most valuable qualities of a cultivator, I can see it in you." Although, there may be some twists and turns in the future, but if you don't have this little bit of Taoism, how can you fulfill what you want in your heart and find immortality?"
What Du Qianye didn't know was that Liu Zifeng had firmly embarked on what he called a "detour".
"Earth Ghost Technique" is a fake ancient scroll, and Liu Zifeng obtained the previous basic mental method by coincidence, and it is because of this that Liu Zifeng gave up the "Ghost Spirit Sutra". The Fortune Divination Mandate once said that this was a set of mental methods that were completely suitable for his practice. It's just that the two of them are too simplistic about finding the fragments.
Liu Zifeng didn't know how to answer, and when he looked down, he saw that there was a wine jar in his hand, so he picked it up and poured a few sips of wine, feeling warm in his stomach.
Looking at the red light on the third senior brother's face, Liu Zifeng felt that Du Qianye was almost drunk, and after chatting for so long, he felt that his mind was in a mess. Maybe he also drank a lot, but at this time he was inexplicably a little upset, so he stood up on the spot.
When Du Qianye saw him get up, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth that no one noticed, and he also stood up, looked at the lights in the distance and said leisurely: "Senior brother, it's almost time to get down to business." ”
As soon as the words fell, Du Qianye's body suddenly burst into blue light, and one hand buckled on Liu Zifeng's neck like lightning.
Liu Zifeng was suddenly startled, and he didn't have time to react at all, so he was held down by Du Qianye and couldn't move, with an unbelievable expression on his face.
"Third Senior Brother, are you...... What is this for?"
This scene changed too suddenly, from Du Qianye's sudden attack to Liu Zifeng being restrained in front of him, it was just a blink of an eye.
A sneer appeared on Du Qianye's face, and the right hand clasped around Liu Zifeng's neck suddenly turned blue and generous. At the same time, Liu Zifeng suddenly felt a chill in the place of his shoulder and neck, followed by bursts of pain in his heart, which made him can't help but snort softly.
"Ahh
......
The breeze rustled through the trees. On Xinghua Peak, because Master Xuanyu has a quiet temperament, he ordered his disciples to plant a lot of bamboo. Over the years, a bamboo forest has formed here. Whether it's day or night, Xinghua Peak is quite secluded.
Because of the trials of the three halls, there were obviously many fewer disciples staying on Xinghua Peak. In a hut on the west side of this bamboo forest, Song Xitong sat quietly on a chair, and she still had the clean and simple Taoist robe on her body. At this moment, his hands were clubbing his chin, and a pair of charming eyes were silently looking at the oil lamp on the table in a daze.
The flame shook slightly, like a beating elf.
"I felt it, he was very close to me...... The ...... that can be seen in these days"
Ethereal voices echoed silently through the room, not knowing whether to speak to themselves or to anyone.
