Chapter 45: A Chance Encounter at the Night Temple
Yun Mu returned, and the news swept through the village like a gust of wind, and even some of the elders who were busy arranging the wedding banquet put down their work and gathered outside Yun Mu's house to listen.
Inside the house, Yun Mu's father took a puff of cigarette and looked at Yun Mu sitting on the side, with a proud glint in his eyes. Yun Mu's mother, Cai Shi, held Yun Mu's hands tightly, and whispered softly with tears in her eyes.
Yun Lan stood aside, her eyes wide open, looking at a jade pendant that Yun Mu gave her, with a jade phoenix carved on it, lifelike.
"Father, mother, the child is coming back this time to take you to live in Cloud City, I don't know what you think?" Yun Mu looked at the older parents in front of him, his heart was a little tingling, in the year he was away, I don't know how many tears they left for themselves, his mother must be like that graceful mother, thinking about herself every day, worrying about herself.
"This ......" Yun Mu's father muttered, took another puff of cigarette, and looked at his wife and Yun Lan beside him, a little undecided.
He has lived here for generations, and this place is like everything to him, and now he wants him to move to Cloud City is indeed a bit sudden, not to mention that he doesn't have any familiar people over there, I'm afraid he won't get used to it, and finally he shook his head and refused.
"Son, how long will it take to come back this time, and are you still leaving?" Yun Mu's mother raised her head, her eyes full of love.
"I'll be leaving in a few days. Yun Mu sighed lightly.
A hint of loss flashed in her eyes, but she quickly smiled at her son again.
On this day, Yun Mu returned to the village and joined the villagers in this festive wedding.
At night, Yun Mu and Yun Lan sat on the house, looking at the starry sky and listening to Yun Lan tell about the things in the village.
"Brother Mu, is it fun to cultivate immortals?" Yun Lan blinked, grabbed Yun Mu's arm with her little hand and asked curiously.
"Xiuxian, it's not very fun, it's not very interesting, but it will let you see more different scenery. Yun Mu said with a smile.
"Scenery, is there any beauty in our mountains?"
"Some have, some don't......"
"Brother Mu, can you teach me to cultivate immortals? I want to go to see the scenery with you. Yun Lan said coquettishly.
Yun Mu turned to look at Yun Lan, and had an idea in his heart, as soon as he slapped the storage bag with his right hand, a white light transformed, and a white ball of light appeared in his hand, "Close your eyes and put your hands on it." ”
"Good. ”
This is the test ball that Yun Mu brought from the sect, which can test a person's spiritual root and talent.
After a few breaths, the sphere that originally emitted white light now emitted a cyan light, and more than half of it turned cyan.
"Mu Linggen, superior talent. Yun Mu looked at the ball of light in his hand, his face showed joy, his sister actually had the qualifications to cultivate immortals, and she was still superior.
"Brother Mu, how is it?" Yun Lan asked curiously.
Yun Mu was silent, he looked at his sister in front of him and hesitated a little, he had already stepped on the road of cultivating immortals, and deeply understood that the avenue was ruthless, and people were unpredictable, whether his sister wanted to go on the same path as himself.
After a while, Yun Mu said softly, "Xiu Xian wants to leave his father, mother, is Lan'er willing?"
"Lan'er doesn't want to leave her father, mother, and ...... I don't want to leave my brother. Yun Lan said with a wink.
Yun Mu was silent, picked up Yun Lan and looked up at the sky, only to see meteors sliding down the sky.
Three days later, Yun Mu left a few bottles of pills to give to Yun Lao, and at the same time taught Yun Lan the mental method of the fourth peak, so that she could try to practice.
"Father, mother, child gone. Yun Mu bowed down to the two, tears slipped down from the corners of his eyes, and turned into a long rainbow and roared away.
The autumn wind is bleak, the cold wind is howling, like a whimpering sound, echoing around, and the yellow leaves are withered and falling under the cold wind, like butterflies dancing in the air.
At this moment, a young man in a green shirt is walking on the official road, holding a pot of sake in his hand, and his eyes are down into the distance, enjoying the scenery in the mountains.
Although the scenery is beautiful, but the road under your feet is not very easy to walk, it rained overnight in the mountains last night, and the official road that has long been in disrepair is full of small ponds at the moment, full of mud.
But the boy didn't seem to care about this, he raised his head and took a sip of sake, broke off a leaf from a big tree by the roadside, put it to his mouth, and played softly.
Suddenly, there was a sound of horses' hooves not far behind him, and a carriage galloped by, splashing the young man in muddy water.
Looking at the carriage that was gradually moving away, the young man shook his head with a wry smile and continued to walk forward.
The sun is gradually sinking in the west, and a large area of burning clouds spreads all over the sky, the scene is extremely spectacular, and the young man looks at it while walking, and from time to time he takes a sip of sake, and his heart is very peaceful.
The sky gradually darkened, and flocks of birds returned to the forest, chirping, and the young man felt a little tired, and suddenly saw a ruined temple not far away, and there was a faint glimmer of fire in the temple, and he was ready to spend the night.
It was an abandoned temple, already in a dilapidated state, overgrown with weeds, cobwebs, and a buzzing sound of mosquitoes.
At this time, a carriage stopped at the entrance of the temple, and on the back of the carriage carved a large green tree, its branches and leaves scattered around the carriage, as if it was constantly climbing to swallow the whole carriage, which was called ingenious.
In the temple, there were four people in black robes sitting next to the bonfire, one of them was a white-haired old man, his eyes were a little confused with a cane, and beside him was a beautiful woman, whose eyes looked at the old man, with a hint of anxiety, and his hands kept patting the old man's back, and whispering in his mouth.
Opposite the two sat two men, one with a shallow scar on his face, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, looking terrifying, and the other more handsome, holding a map in his hand and sliding his fingers over it.
"Miss, you can reach Lin Cheng in three more days along this road, and then you can go to the doctor to treat the master. ”
"Three days, can't you hurry up Uncle Yan, I see that grandpa's condition is getting more and more serious. The woman said anxiously.
"The climate in this mountain is changeable, it rains from time to time, and the road is bumpy, so three days is already the fastest. The man sighed, his face a little anxious.
"Don't worry, miss, I still have medicine on me, the old man said, as long as the medicine continues, the master will be fine. Another man patted his chest.
As soon as the man's words came out, the woman seemed to have taken a reassuring pill, her face gradually eased, her eyes fell on the burning bonfire, and she was stunned.
Suddenly, the man who was originally sitting stood up suddenly, a white light flashed, and the long sword in his hand roared out and swung behind him.
"I'm just here to hide from the rain. ”
I saw a young man in a green shirt standing three inches from the tip of the sword, the rain slowly dripping down his cheeks, his clothes all over his body were wet with the rain, and the dirt on his trousers was also flowing down.
The man looked at the young man carefully, and after confirming that there was no threat, he withdrew his long sword, hugged his fist at the young man, and said, "I offended a lot just now, I hope you will forgive me." ”
"It doesn't matter. The boy shook his head and walked to the corner of the ruined temple, looking up at the rain outside the temple.
The man sat down again, swept his gaze, and bowed gently to the man beside him, signaling that there was no danger.
After a while, the man who had originally swung his sword at Yun Mu spoke: "Little brother, why don't you come together to bake the fire, I see that your body is so thin, your clothes are also soaked, and the climate in the mountains is cold, you are easy to get sick like this." ”
"So, thank you. The boy stood up, walked over to the fire, hugged his fists at the four, and sat down cross-legged.
"My name is Lin Kun, this is my brother Chang Feng, what's your name?"
"My name is Yun Mu. Young said.
