Chapter 212: The Lake and the Beauty
The look on the old man's face was happy and open-minded. Even with Li Yunxin's skills, there was not the slightest trace of pretense—it was as if an old man casually jumped on the back of a donkey on the side of the road, and then asked him with a smile, "Have you tried riding a donkey?"
But if it's really an old man who plays the world and has no other thoughts...... How can you stand on the back of this evil Jiao at this moment?
He took a deep breath in the high heavenly wind, slowly lowered his altitude, slowed down, and stuck to the surface of the water and walked side by side with the old man on the head of the evil dragon.
After a little silence, he said: "Su Gong is really a strange person in the world, and the kid is obedient." ”
"It's just that although this evil dragon was born like a dragon, it is not a dragon. If the real dragon is the only one in this world, who has really tried to ride the dragon?"
The old man smiled when he heard his words, and said, "Hey, you don't know this-hehe!"
After only a few words, he continued. seems to know a lot of secrets in his heart, but it is not easy to talk to Li Yunxin at this time.
Li Yunxin didn't ask, but slowly figured out how to get along with this old man, so he smiled slightly: "It is inconvenient for Su Gong to say it at this time, and there will always be a convenient time to say it in the future." The kid was impatient and anxious before, so he was reckless and rude, and Su Gong asked not to blame him. ”
The old man snorted with a smile: "The name of the human demon Li Yunxin, the old man has already heard of it." You don't have to pretend to be well-behaved. If you're really well-behaved, I won't come to play with you. If you want to make amends, you might as well think of a good way to make me happy. If the old man is satisfied, when the month is up, he will promise you one thing. ”
Previously, this old man always said that he was an ordinary old man, so Li Yunxin did not decline in his heart. And at this moment, he finally said something like "The old man who is famous in the human demon Li Yunxin has already heard of it", and his heart instantly calmed down.
He didn't feel that he was now "famous" -- there were not many ordinary demons and monks in the world who knew about him. It's like he doesn't know the name of a random little trash fish. It stands to reason that there should be many perennial demons in the vicinity of Weishui, but so far he didn't know any of them - because he was not interested and unnecessary.
But among the others...... Among some of the powerful people in the Great Demon, Dao Sect, and Sword Sect, his popularity should not be small.
He is the truth. Although I always encounter some other old things whose realm is so high that they are terrifying, among the demons in the world and among the monks in the world, they are indeed worthy of the word "big demon".
And there are so many mysteries in him that he doesn't seem to know even about...... For example, the old man next to him probably knows some inside information.
Now that this old man has said such words, it means that he is also one of the few beings in this world who are at the top of the force. Li Yunxin felt that he at least knew the "bottom line", narrowed down the scope, and would always be more down-to-earth in his heart.
It's just that I don't know if the "big name" in the old man's mouth is a notoriety or something else.
He hid the surprise on his face and said, "Duke Su let me know the news of my disciples, which is already kind to me. Now that this cave is my dojo again, I, as the host, naturally can't neglect the guests—and I don't need to say anything about promises or conditions. It's just that I don't know what kind of interesting thing Su Gong is talking about?"
The old man smiled in the wind, and stretched out his hand to point: "You kid - do you think this is a funny thing?"
Li Yunxin followed the direction of his finger and looked forward.
However, I didn't see anything interesting.
They were in the depths of the hinterland of Dongting at the moment, surrounded by white lakes. The ban on Dongting Lake is still far, far away, and there is not even a shadow to be seen at this moment. Therefore, only water, sky, and clouds are in sight -- Li Yunxin has been watching it for six or seven days, and he has long been tired of watching it.
The old man seemed to have guessed his thoughts, and said, "Look carefully." Behold this water, which is indigo under us. Farther away, it turns emerald green. When they reached the place where the water and the sky met, it was bright and white. Isn't it a wonder that the white clouds gave birth to clouds—white clouds, lined with a bright blue sky, such a clean and refreshing scene?"
"Listen to the rumors again. High and low, far and near. You cover your ears—" He said, he really blocked his ears like a child, looked at Li Yunxin happily, and his voice became louder, "The wind is gone!
"Let go of your hand again—" said the old man, and then he opened his arms and raised his head in intoxication, "the sound of the wind poured into your ears at this moment—like a creature in this world, the sky and the water are talking to you?!"
Li Yunxin blinked, not knowing what to say to meet the situation.
The old man saw his disapproving appearance, but he also didn't care. He sighed in the wind, "You're used to seeing these scenes, and you don't know how thrilling they are." If a blind person or a deaf person suddenly sees and hears, he doesn't know what kind of excitement he will become. The flowers and plants around us that we are tired of seeing are actually beautiful scenes. Just ......"
He sighed again: "I was all confused by those mundane things. But I can't see the real excitement. ”
Li Yunxin's heart skipped a slight beat.
Because of his words and actions, he also had a little bit of uncertain, but extremely bold guesses in his heart.
The feeling that the old man was talking about, he had actually experienced. Moreover, it should be more profound and intense than anyone else in this world.
You know, he was born with memories - memories of his old world, much longer.
After decades of living in the former world, staying in this world for more than ten years, where will the experience, experience, and personality prevail?
At least with him...... It was once upon a time.
It is impossible for a man in this world to imagine what his former world was like, and a man in his former world has fantasized about what this world was like countless times. Just before he died there, some kind of immersive virtual technology had matured, and he had even experienced it several times.
A huge amount of experience and knowledge filled his mind -- these things cannot be replaced or forgotten by the experience of this world in just a dozen years.
He was born and opened his eyes. For a long time, even a chopstick in his hand was worth a whole day of study. He looked at the handmade marks on the tables and chairs, and the tiny patterns on the fired porcelain cups and cups. Look at the riveting process of the wooden house, and see what kind of texture the window paper is.
At that time, the whole world was a great secret and novelty for him, and he came into contact with the experience as a tourist and an indigenous, until one day he suddenly realized.
Oh.
It's true here.
I probably won't be able to go back.
The sense of novelty that was so strong that it was about to explode suddenly disappeared, and then he threw himself into the mundane things that the old man spoke of—spells and immortality.
His situation is not exactly the same as that of the old man, but certain feelings are common. This made him even more curious about the identity of this "Su Gong...... Who is it, exactly?
He thought as he listened to the old man continue.
His previous sentence "what kind of thing" seemed to open the old man's chatterbox, and then he couldn't hold it back.
He first asked Li Yunxin to look at the water and the clouds, and then told him to listen to the wind.
Then he began to ask him to smell the wind. The old man claimed to be able to smell hundreds of scents in the wind, and could know what the owner of the scent was doing based on those scents. In order to prove his point, he also instructed Li Yunxin to dive into the 100-meter deep water and catch a fish from a certain stone cave. Then he cut open his belly with the thick and sharp mane of the evil Jiao, to prove that what he had just said was right.
This big fish had just eaten a small fish, and it had a "taste of fear" in its stomach.
Beneath his old exterior lies a heart full of emotion and vitality. He is so sensitive and sensible that if he were not still organized and rational in his words, Li Yunxin would not hesitate to classify him as a mentally ill person.
But this old man also reminded him of a Taoist scripture-
Those who are thick with virtue are better than those who are naked.
Such a journey is not easy for Li Yunxin, but it is not sad. He is accustomed to speculating on a person's heart with expressions, tones, and the content of his speech. That's because there's always logic to follow between one's words. And this "logic", if you go a little deeper, is here in Li Yunxin......
It means "to hide".
The thinking pattern of "because, so" seems simple and straightforward, but the content of "because" is already being paved and hidden in order to lead to the subsequent "so". People with and without training have this innate instinct to hide. Because of this instinct, everything is traceable.
What would happen if a person spoke without any rules or rules to follow, and if he really followed his heart? Li Yunxin once thought that there were two kinds of people like this. One is a madman who has lost his mind, and the other is the first time he has seen it now.
He couldn't catch the loopholes in the old man's thinking and logic. To put it in layman's terms, he is so sensual, sensitive, and free to express himself that he is full of loopholes and has no idea where to start.
When I first met the old man, he only looked "slightly weird". But now his "true temperament" is revealing more and more, and he is gradually about to become a "madman".
In the end, the two arrived at Junshan.
Compared with when Li Yunxin left this place seven days ago, the only change in Junshan is that a small wooden pavilion has appeared on the beach.
It doesn't look like the original wooden pavilion at the mouth of the three rivers. But maybe the red lady just needs memories and artistic conception.
Li Yunxin hesitated for a quarter of an hour on the road, and then told the old man how to unlock the prohibition of the Cave Court. The old man smiled faintly at this, and did not express an opinion.
What followed was nothing to come.
Li Yunxin has been to Junshan Ziwei Palace once, and has been to the front hall and the middle hall. Now he took the old man through the main entrance of Ziwei Palace, listened to his nagging all the way, and finally settled him in a bedroom in the middle hall.
At that time, it was getting late, and the tired birds were returning to their nests. The old man, who was still in high spirits during the day, began to yawn. Li Yunxin said a few words to him, and then left him in the room and exited by himself.
Exited, ascended to the sky, and stood in the bright moon staring at the crape myrtle palace. After watching it like this, there was no movement all night, and he entered his "Dragon Palace" to take a nap.
He thought that the second day of the old man's arrival in Junshan should still be a new and boring day.
But he didn't expect it to be another day that surprised and doubted him.
In the early morning, he saw the red lady carrying a pot of wine and sitting in the pavilion at the beachhead to drink alone. There was a lake breeze in the morning, and her figure was quite slender. The wind blew her red dress against her body, outlining beautiful curves. Her hair was also scattered, her hair was loosely draped, and half of her face was covered by the wind, revealing only two delicate red lips and misty eyes, which smelled of red dust.
Li Yunxin stood outside the pavilion and watched her quietly leaning on the pillar and leaning on the railing with one leg on the railing, drinking like a worldly Jianghu person. After a long while, she withdrew her gaze from looking at the lake and turned her head against the pillar to look at Li Yunxin.
As soon as the hand was released, the empty flask fell into the lake.
She looked at it with a sideways face for a while, and then a lazy smile broke out on her lips: "Why did you bring someone back?"
Li Yunxin knew that the "people" in the mouth of the red lady referred to those ordinary secular people who had no cultivation power. I could also hear that there was a little drunkenness in her words.
He had come to see her to ask about the ban again, and he didn't want to hear her again. So he smiled: "It's not a human being—it's not an ordinary person. It's a stranger. ”
Unexpectedly, the red lady giggled, reached out and swept the hair on her lips, and slowly shook her head: "Inhuman? ”
She didn't seem to take the old man's affairs to heart when she spoke, but said casually: "Isn't it the Su Weng from Sioux Town by the lake? I've seen it many times in the past few years." His ancestors were originally fishing for business, and when Gaozu went down to the net, he fished out a box of gold and silver jewelry in the lake, so he made a fortune. and engaged in business and bought land. ”
Later, he spread to his descendants, but he still lived by the lake for generations, saying that this cave was the blessed land of his family. ”
"This Su Weng...... I watched him grow up. When he was young, he had a strange temperament, neither liked to read nor did business, only played around, and almost lost all his family business. Fortunately, a pair of good children were born and took over the family business, which slowly eased up. When you get older, you get older, and your temperament is more eccentric. ”
"I used to be bored in the lake, and I used to sneak in to see the interesting people—he was interesting among the people along the lake, so I had an impression. ”
"How did such a person become a stranger in Li Lang's eyes?"
Li Yunxin listened to her in a daze, and only blinked after two breaths: "You-really?"
"Naturally, it's true. When did I lie to Li Lang......?
Before the beauty's anger was finished, Li Yunxin's body shook and disappeared from the spot. (To be continued.) )
