Chapter 47: Stars Fall on the Five Zhangyuan
In five years, Zhou Lan has grown into a lovely little girl, and even Qiao Yuwei and others in Zhou are no longer in their prime years.
But only Zhou Cheng still hasn't changed in the slightest compared to five years ago, and even the robe on his body is still the one that Qiao Yuwei prepared for him when he went to the pothos puja.
And five years have passed, and Gai Liniang has not appeared again.
"Long time no see.... Uncle, you still haven't changed at all!" Zhou Lan ran to Zhou Cheng and was picked up by Zhou Cheng with a slight jump, and then she put her arms around Zhou Cheng's neck and looked at Zhou Cheng carefully.
"Lan'er is getting more and more cute!" Zhou Cheng also looked at Zhou Lan carefully, it had been three months since the two last met.
Since two years ago, Zhou Cheng has rarely appeared in front of people, he has nothing to do is to retreat and cultivate, refining the glazed jade body, except for the people in the Taishou Mansion, many people have even forgotten his existence.
"Today is the time for my uncle to go out of the customs, Lan'er deliberately wore her favorite green dress, does uncle look good at Lan'er?" Zhou Lan is only five years old, and like all children, she likes to show her most beautiful side in front of adults.
Since Zhou Lan was sensible, she especially likes to stick to Zhou Cheng, as long as Zhou Cheng is not in retreat, she is always inseparable from Zhou Cheng, and Zhou Cheng is also like an uncle who loves his niece, and he is extremely doting on Zhou Lan.
When most people gradually forgot about Zhou Chengcun, only the position of this uncle in Zhou Lan's memory became more and more important.
"Good-looking... Pretty.... Lan'er is the most beautiful girl in the world. Zhou Cheng hugged Zhou Lan and said with a serious look, and then kissed her lightly on the forehead.
"Uncle, you have been in retreat for so long, Lan'er has never flown into the sky again, uncle, take Lan'er to the sky!" Zhou Lan looked at Zhou Cheng expectantly, what she liked the most was that Zhou Cheng took her sword in and out of the Qing Netherlands.
"Okay, Lan'er hurry up...."Zhou Cheng readily agreed, just said a word, and then shot towards the sky with the sword light.
Just next to Zhou Cheng's small courtyard, Zhou Chu and Qiao Yuwei stood side by side, and the two looked at the rising cyan sword light, and smiled helplessly.
"Our baby daughter and brother Cheng are closer than us as parents..... Zhou Chu said helplessly, but it was difficult to hide a smile on his face.
"This is also Lan'er's blessing, we can save a lot of worry by having an uncle like Brother Cheng take care of her!" Qiao Yuwei also said with a smile, but her words seemed to mean something else.
Zhou Lan cheered in the sky, because she was often taken to the sky by Zhou Cheng, she was not afraid of heights or fear, and even liked and enjoyed this feeling of flying freely.
"Uncle, when will Lan'er be able to cultivate with you? Lan'er really wants to be able to fly by herself, and Lan'er won't be so bored when her uncle is in retreat. Zhou Lan opened her arms, stood on the Qingping sword, and asked Zhou Cheng loudly.
"Is Lan'er usually boring?" Zhou Cheng couldn't agree to teach Zhou Lan to cultivate privately, because he felt that this kind of thing had to be decided by Zhou Lan's parents.
And Zhou Chu did not let his daughter enter the Tao, Zhou Cheng believes that there must be a reason for Zhou Chu.
Zhou Lan seemed to be in a slightly depressed mood, she withdrew her arms, turned around and hugged Zhou Cheng's legs, and made a coquettish appearance to adults.
"You don't know, uncle, I was bored when you were in retreat. My mother always asked me to read those poems, and only when my uncle was out of the customs, my father and mother didn't care about me, so I liked to be with my uncle. Zhou Lan said with an aggrieved face, revealing her childish nature.
Zhou Cheng also looked helpless when he heard this, patted Zhou Lan's head gently, and then said seriously: "Lan'er is the eldest daughter of the Zhou family, so she should have the appearance of a lady, your mother is for your good, and when Lan'er grows up in the future, she will become a talented girl like your mother." ”
"Why do you want to be a talented girl? Can't you be a sword fairy like your uncle? Can your uncle be immortal? I see that my father's and mother's appearance are changing, but my uncle's appearance has never changed, can you not be old?" Zhou Lan raised her head, looked at Zhou Cheng curiously and seriously, and asked.
When Zhou Cheng heard the words Sword Immortal and Changsheng, his expression changed slightly, and then he subconsciously looked back at the southwest.
"It's been five years....."
Zhou Cheng said silently in his heart, then lowered his head to look at Zhou Lan, and said with a smile on his face: "Because you are a talented woman, you can find Ruyi Langjun! Not as good as ordinary people...."
"Hmph, I don't want any wishful thinking. I'll just accompany my father and uncle. Zhou Lan said with a serious face, she didn't have a clear understanding of what Ruyi Langjun was.
"Oh... Where else does Lan'er want to go? Uncle will take you there. Zhou Cheng didn't care about Zhou Lan's answer, and then asked casually.
"Go there... In Guanghan City, you can see the mountain full of maple leaves, but my father has never had time to take me there, now is the time when the maple leaves are yellow, uncle, let's go and take a look?" Zhou Lan stood on top of the flying sword and pointed to a golden mountain peak dozens of miles away.
"Okay!" Zhou Cheng responded, and then the flying sword turned slightly, flying towards the place full of maple leaves.
Zhou Cheng took Zhou Lan to play for a whole day, and flew back to Guanghan City in the evening. At this time, Zhou Lan was already lying in Zhou Cheng's arms and asleep.
When the flying sword fell, Zhou Chu and Qiao Yuwei were already waiting for him in the courtyard.
Qiao Yuwei stretched out her hand to pick up Zhou Lan, who was still asleep, smiled at Zhou Cheng and nodded, and then left with Zhou Lan in her arms.
"Brother Cheng, can the glazed jade body be refined smoothly?" There were only two people left in the courtyard, Zhou Chu and Zhou Cheng, and Zhou Chu was the first to ask.
"Everything is fine, and now I can connect with my heart. Zhou Cheng replied naturally.
"Come with me to Gojohara tonight. Zhou looked at Zhou Cheng and said very casually.
"Good. Zhou Cheng only replied one word.
Then the two of them quietly left the Taishou Mansion, and a starlight above the clouds supported the two of them, but in the time of half a pillar of incense, they crossed the Qinling Mountains and landed on a flat plateau.
Zhou Cheng looked at his feet, this is a dangerous terrain that is about eight miles long from north to south and about three miles wide from east to west. It is bordered by the Qinling Mountains in the south, Weishui in the north, and deep ditches of dozens of zhang on both sides.
This place is the throat of the soldiers at a glance, and it must be rushed, and this is the famous Wuzhang Plain.
"Back then, Zhuge Kongming continued his life here with the seven-star lamp, and then the seven-star lamp disappeared, if it is not bad, this thing should still be here. The robes around him fluttered in the wind, and he looked at the Wuzhang Yuan under his feet and whispered.
"If it is really here, there must be countless high-ranking hermits who come to look for it, after so much time, can we still find it?" Zhou Cheng said with some puzzlement, he didn't believe in Zhou Chu, but felt that there was little hope.
"If others can't find it, it doesn't mean we can't, this thing is called a seven-star lamp......" Zhou's face suddenly showed a smile, and he looked up at the sky as he spoke.
Zhou Cheng also subconsciously followed Zhou to look up, and in the sky he saw, the Big Dipper was hanging high in the night sky as usual.
"Protect the Dharma for me. Suddenly, the voice around him sounded faintly, and then his whole person levitated, standing in the void and appearing above the Wuzhang Plain.
Zhou Cheng didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly spread his divine thoughts, and Qingping Sword Pill was ready to go.
Just when Zhou appeared in the sky above Wuzhang Plain, Zhou Cheng was surprised to find that the phantom of the Taoist with a feather coat and star crown behind Zhou Cheng appeared again, and with the appearance of the phantom, the Big Dipper hanging high in the night sky was also suddenly full of stars.
Then the seven stars connected, and the star power penetrated through and then slanted down, like a column of water into the phantom shadow of the Daoist in the feather coat and star crown.
This phantom was injected by the star power, and it changed again, and the majesty of an emperor was revealed above the phantom of the person, as if the monarch who ruled the stars.
Immediately afterwards, the phantom's right arm was raised slightly, and his five fingers were slightly opened, and he grabbed the five zhang yuan under him.
Zhou Cheng stood far away, but he also clearly felt that under the grasp of the phantom, the entire Wuzhang Yuan high platform trembled slightly, and as the phantom palm fell, the ground of the Wuzhang Yuan cracked.
As the palm of the hand continued to fall, there were more and more cracks on the Wuzhang Plain, and they were getting bigger and bigger.
"Huh?" Zhou Cheng suddenly noticed that a little orange light lit up in the crack, and then a bronze palace lamp-like lamp slowly rose from the crack.
"Seven-star lantern ....." Zhou Cheng exclaimed in his heart, not only did he not expect that the seven-star lantern was really still here, but he also didn't expect that he would get the seven-star lantern so easily.
The seven-star lantern flew out of the crack and went straight towards the phantom, and when the lamp fell into the phantom's palm, the phantom dissipated, and the seven-star lamp had already appeared in Zhou's hand.
The Big Dipper in the night sky is back to normal, but it doesn't seem to be as bright as before!
