Chapter Twenty-Three: It has been a thousand years since the Great Dream first woke up
Ning Wushu was dumbfounded, beads of sweat continued to ooze from his forehead, and his body trembled slightly. From the story that Xuanyuan and Luan slowly spoke, she had already guessed that this huge mausoleum was the resting place of the peerless legend Bai Yu Gongzi, and the four paintings on the wall were also a simple summary of the life of this Bai Yu Gongzi. And this living beauty in front of her ...... Maybe it's the girl in the story.
In this way, the vague sanity that I saw her yesterday, the incomparable knowledge of the mausoleum despite my memory, the tears that flowed over the walls, and the ease with which she defused the attack of the wooden man's defenses could all be explained.
But...... It's inexplicable!
How could a person from a thousand years ago suddenly appear on the island where she lived? Is she a fairy? or a monster? Or is she really a female ghost? Or is she a zombie? The more Ning Wushu thought about it, the more frightened she became.
In front of her, Xuanyuan and Luan were still staring at the paintings on the wall, slowly narrating. And her next words also confirmed Ning Wushu's guess.
"Yes...... I am the girl in the story, I am a descendant of the ancient Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan, I have an incomparable talent, Master, as well as Uncle Tang and Aunt Chan, they all like me very much, I have been their hope since I was a child, they hope that I can pass on their things and continue their legend...... However, I let them down, I fell into the devil, fell in love with my master, and was not tolerated by the world. After I left the cabin where Master lived, I can't remember what happened next, who would have thought that when I woke up again, I would ...... It's been a thousand years later......"
Xuanyuan and Luan were talking, and they couldn't cry anymore. And Ning Wushu on the side also fell silent. At the age of fourteen, she didn't know much about love, and she had only heard the deeds of some talented and beautiful people in some stories, but the story she heard just now did not have those lingering emotions, but was full of powerlessness and helplessness. In the past, when she was studying poetry, she read a poem that wrote, "I was not born when you were born, and I am old when you were born", what a genius Bai Yu Gongzi is, even if he is very old, what is impossible to attract Xuanyuan and Luan? If it is only an age gap, why can't he keep it? If it is because of the name of master and apprentice, a peerless beauty is hated for life and sleeps for a thousand years, is the name of master and apprentice really so important?
The young girl did not understand this, but she thought wildly, and her heart became sad. Xuanyuan and Luan are so beautiful and peerless, but now they have ended up like this, how can people not feel pity?
Ning Wushu unconsciously followed Xuanyuan and Luan into tears. She pouted and said with some dissatisfaction: "It's not your fault, who you like and hate in your heart, this is uncontrollable." I like my master...... What's the matter? It's not my father, what's the matter, if it's me, I'll betray the teacher!"
Xuanyuan and Luan still had tears in the corners of their eyes, but they couldn't help but pull the corners of their mouths when they heard this. She stretched out her hand, patted it lightly on the top of Ning Wushu's head, and said, "You are still young, you still don't understand......"
Ning Wushu lowered his head and said, "Why don't you understand...... Fourteen years old is not too young. That's right...... Sister Xuanyuan, how can you sleep for a thousand years?" After listening to the story and communicating a few times, the relationship between the two got better, and Ning Wushu's feelings for her gradually turned into admiration and pity from the beginning of the defense and dissatisfaction. This Sister Xuanyuan is unprecedentedly sincere.
Xuanyuan and Luan also felt the change in Ning Wushu's attitude, and a trace of warmth was born in their hearts. She shook her head and replied, "When I woke up, I found myself in a large crack at the bottom of the Mirror Lake...... For some reason, it was extremely cold, and there was a lot of ice. When I woke up, I was frozen in a huge piece of ice, presumably the cold in the ice, which made my heartbeat and breathing drop to a very low level, allowing me to fall into a turtle's sleep before I could sleep for a thousand years. ”
"Later, with all my strength, I struggled out of the ice and climbed out of the bottom of the lake. When I got ashore, the thousand-year-old cold in the ice had penetrated deep into my internal organs, and it could kill me immediately. I had to use the Heavenly Providence Chilling Technique to dispel the cold, but my body had already been greatly damaged thousands of years ago...... You know the rest of the story. ”
"As for why I was frozen in the thousand-year-old ice at the bottom of the Mirror Lake at that time, and why I woke up suddenly this time, there is no clue, and I don't know why. If there is someone in this world who has the ability to freeze me to the bottom of a lake without my knowledge, and then wake me up a thousand years later, I don't believe it, perhaps, this is providence. A thousand years ago, I should not have existed in the world, so I came to the ice, and a thousand years later, maybe God opened my eyes so that I could come to Master's resting place to see it again, or maybe it was...... You and I are destined. ”
"Me?" Ning Wushu was stunned and asked, pointing to himself.
"Yes. Xuanyuan and Luan said with a smile: "The mental method you practice is the four lakes and the four seas, which is also the mental method that I studied hard back then, but I have never been able to enter the realm of the four seas, the master said that he created this martial art as a last resort, and I am afraid that no one in the future will be able to truly master it." If someone can reproduce the power of the five lakes and the four seas, they can also be regarded as his disciples. Therefore, it makes sense for you to call me sister. Maybe after I came a thousand years later, Master wanted me to come here and see this little disciple of his. ”
"Wait...... Wait?" Ning Wushu was a little stunned, scratching his head, and his mind didn't turn around all of a sudden: "You said, this martial art was created by your master?" But I read that it is written in the Tibetan Sect Pavilion, and this mental method was created by a senior named Chu Fangyu......
Xuanyuan and Luan smiled unchanged, looked up at the picture scroll on the wall, and said: "Master, he used his pseudonym Bai Jinyu to break into the world, and the people in the rivers and lakes called him Bai Yu Gongzi, but in fact, his real name is Chu Fangyu. ”
"What!" Ning Wushu only felt goosebumps all over his body, and a wave of excitement and pride surged up: "Sister Xuanyuan, you mean...... Chu Fangyu's predecessor is actually the white jade son, who is the real founder of the Spirit Mirror Sect, that is, ...... It's ......"
Xuanyuan and Luan nodded: "Now that you have just started this mental method, the palm you have just entered the realm of Tianyang Lake, and there is still a gap between you and the realm of the White Lake, so naturally it cannot be regarded as reproducing the power of the five lakes and the four seas." But I observed that your meridians were thick and tenacious, no worse than when I was thirteen or fourteen years old, and there were no serious sequelae left by repeated exertion, but it was weak, which means that it is very suitable for you to cultivate this skill, if you can enter the realm of the four seas one day, you can tell others that you are Chu Fangyu's personal disciple. ”
Damn! Ning Wushu screamed in his heart, if I am Chu Fangyu's personal disciple, then aren't the current descendants of the Spirit Mirror Sect all my disciples and grandchildren......! It's so cool!
On that side, Xuanyuan and Luan were still talking, maybe they hadn't spoken for a thousand years, and they had too much to say. She lowered her head and said, "Yes, no wonder I had a special liking for you yesterday when I was confused, maybe it was because of your exertions at that time that I thought you were my close person, ......right?" Wushu, since you may become my junior sister one day in the future, then, I will also give you the gift I just said, but I am afraid that in the future, there will be no chance to give it to you. ”
Ning Wushu let out an "ah", suddenly hesitated, and she said hesitantly: "Sister Xuanyuan...... Actually, you don't have to be in such a hurry to give me any gifts, you can wait until we get out of here, and you will give them to me. ”
"Silly sister, don't you understand? I'm not leaving. Xuanyuan and Luan smiled, and their beautiful faces eclipsed the "starlight" in the entire valley tomb. She turned her head, looked at the closed door of the wooden house, and said, "Do you know, Master has been sleeping in this room for a long time, and I have used special methods to protect Master's body, even if it is thousands of years later, it can be preserved, as if he has always been sleeping peacefully. And I, now that I'm back, it's impossible for me to leave again, I'll be here to guard Master, and when I can't support the countless tortures in my body anymore, I'll be here...... Go to bed together. Look, this little room was originally prepared for myself. ”
Only then did Ning Wushu understand why there were two rooms in this small cabin. Presumably thousands of years ago, in the real valley where the white jade prince once lived, in that small cabin, Xuanyuan and Luan also slept in one of the rooms like this, and in the other room lay her beloved master, she took care of the old Chu Fangyu in the cabin day after day, ignoring those strange stares and dissatisfied people, and maybe even in front of that small cabin, repelling many people who tried to drive her away from there......
Ning Wushu felt a tightness in his chest, and a feeling of loss came up. She had known Xuanyuan and Luan for less than two days, and even more than an hour ago, she had a good impression of this big sister, but in the blink of an eye, it was life and death. Ning Wushu also knew that this decision could not be more correct for Xuanyuan and Luan, and staying here was the best choice for her.
"That'...... Then ......" Ning Wushu forced a smile and asked, "Sister Xuanyuan, what is the gift you want to give me?"
Xuanyuan Wushu pointed his hand, but pointed to the collapsed wooden man outside the house.
"Uh...... Wooden man?" Ning Wushu raised his eyebrows, a little surprised: "It's good to have a guard, but isn't it a little scary......
Xuanyuan and Luan laughed when they heard this, she touched the top of Ning Wushu's head with a smile, and said: "Do you know, Master's ability to become famous in the world, in addition to his extraordinary martial arts and superb wisdom, there is another point that few people know, and that is the trick." ”
"In the era I lived in, there were two forces that held powerful tricks, one was the Mo family, and the other was the descendant of the public defeat class. However, in fact, when the master was walking the world, he once met a strange man who claimed to be the descendant of the Yanshi, and the Yanren he made had five internal organs made of wood, and he was good at singing and dancing. The master was amazed at its heavenly skills, humbly asked for advice, and then referred to the Mojia mechanism technique left in the Spirit Mirror Gate, and compared the two, and gradually became a generation of mechanism masters. ”
"However, the master only passed on this wonderful mechanism to me, and the only thing left in the Spirit Mirror Gate should be the Mo family's mechanism technique. Because the master said that the tricks passed down by the Yanshi are too heavenly, and if they are used by people with unscrupulous skills, it will hurt the harmony of the heavens, so I can only choose people with good hearts to pass it on in the future. The Mohist technique is relatively neutral, and although there are advantages and disadvantages to people in the world, it is difficult to set off big waves, so it is left to it. ”
"The Yanbing you just saw was slowly built by me for more than a year when I built the mausoleum for my master. After thousands of years, the strength of the Yanbing has long since lost the hundred-one of the years, and the Yanbing in the past was the top agency person who could fight with me. Now I teach this ingenious trick to Sister Wushu, and I hope you won't use this trick to bring harm to the world in the future......"
Ning Wushu listened to Xuanyuan and Luan talk about this wonderful trick, and he had already longed for it. Hearing her say this, she nodded solemnly and said, "Sister, don't worry, I will definitely promise you." ”
