Volume 21 "A Few Smoke and Dust on the Immortal Road in the World" Chapter 12 Plum Wife and Crane, a glass of water is far away from the mountains
The person who came on the mountain road was the awakening word.
After getting off Kunlun, he arrived at the Luofu Mountain Road, which was shrouded in green trees and spring smoke. Unlike when he went, he was alone when he returned. But what's so strange about this? Xingyan clearly remembered that since he was on Kunlun, he asked the kind and kind Queen Mother Eldest Princess for the elixir that could resurrect Xue Yi's soul, and his delicate and lovely sister Qiong Wei, who went with him, was favored by the West Princess, and stayed by her side to cultivate the immortal Dao. Although he was reluctant to fall in love with Qiong Wei in this way, how could he stop him from having such a rare opportunity? Not only could he not stop it, but he was also happy that Xiao Qiong Wei had such a good fairy fate.
It is not only Qiong Wei who remains in Kunlun. The ghost pawns Ding Jia and Yi Zang, who had been following him in the Nether Ring, as well as Lan Cheng and Lan Caihe, who were killed in the Shangqing Dynasty, were also favored by the Western Princess, and stayed on the reincarnation mirror platform as a god official who guarded the soul summoning immortal flag. That Lan Cheng, Xingyan originally only hoped that he could cultivate into a ghost immortal, but he didn't expect that now he would become an immortal in the Kunlun Immortal Realm, how could this not make him happy?
And in addition to all these happy events, the most important thing for him Zhang Xingyan was to learn that for the Western Princesses of the Kunlun Immortal Realm, it was just her effort to resurrect Xue Yi. Xingyan clearly remembers that this noble Kunlun Immortal Venerable said that no matter the immortal god, if he was hit by a domineering divine soldier like the Heavenly Flash Crack, he would definitely not be able to return to the sky; And Xue Yi had a chance to get the essence of water to stay in the body, water and wood are born together, it is Deyi, secretly has long been unintentionally cast into an immortal immortal body, if it is not for the appearance of the catastrophe of heaven and earth that has not been encountered in 10,000 years, her vitality will never be cut off. Therefore, now, as long as you wake up and bring back the Soul Returning Essence of the Treasure Immortal Elixir of West Kunlun safely, and then apply the medicine according to the teachings of the West Princess, you can save her!
The above may be true and false, and the truth is mixed, but Zhang Xingyan, who turned to Luofu at this moment, firmly believes it. He felt that the above real experiences of Xitian Kunlun, every moment and scene were so vivid and clear, as if they happened yesterday.
Gossip for a while, and when he regained Luofu, he didn't care about anything else, and came to the Thousand Bird Cliff Sihaitang with one foot.
When he woke up to the stone cliff, he put down the immortal medicine treasure box he had asked for from Kunlun on the bamboo couch in the main hall of the stone house, and found a crane's beak hoe in the corner of the wall, and began to mow up those wild grasses on the stone lawn.
At this time, the Chidoriga Cliff Stone Flat, after more than half a year of wind and rain, has long disappeared its original appearance, and the stone flat is covered with spring mud everywhere. The wild fang invaded each other, and even in the sleeve cloud pavilion that sheltered from the wind and rain, there was also a lot of dust and mud on the stone table and stone bench, and a lot of spring grass was born; every time the mountain wind passed, the grass shadow swayed together on the middle of the pavilion, which was very desolate.
So the hall master of the four seas who returned again cleaned up the desolate scenery in front of the hall and opened up a road. After that, he rose with his sword, raised a cloud of light, and headed towards the lonely ice cliff where Xue Yixiang's body was placed. When he arrived in front of the High Sky Ice Cliff, Xingyan waved his hand in the clouds, took away the Thunder Pass Circle he had laid out, stepped forward to pick up Xue Yi's body, which was as safe as sleep, and turned around the Four Seas Hall in a heavenly wind.
When he returned to the cliff, Xingyan carefully placed Xue Yi's soft body on the green grass in front of the cold spring in the east of the cliff, and then turned back to the house, took out the rectangular white jade medicine box, and prepared to give Xue Yi medicine to save it.
It was morning, and the bright sunlight shone from the front of the mountain, shining brightly on the white jade box in his arms. In the bright sunshine, the ice and snow plum spirit in the fragrant grass is even more light and transparent, like a white lotus blooming in the blue water.
Holding out the jade box, Xingyan stood in front of Xue Yi, quietly looking at the girl's gentle cheeks. After being silent for a long time, and after secretly praying, he gently leaned down, carefully opened the jade box, and slowly poured out the glittering golden spiritual liquid from the box in a bright sunshine, and quietly flowed onto Xue Yi's body.
When the elixir of resurrection is poured down, in the golden shadow of the light in front of the Thousand Bird Cliff, ten thousand points of golden light suddenly flashed, just like the sparkling wave shadow on the lake surface under the sunset, the floating light leaps into gold, and the little golden mangs are intertwined into a brilliant waterfall of light, which slowly flows by the side of this sleeve cloud pavilion. And when the brilliance dissipated, the original ice and snow plum spirit lay down in the green grass, suddenly turned into a plum blossom, the branches are coiled and enchanting, smooth and green, in the meantime the buds are dotted, and the pavilion stands by the cold spring in front of this pavilion. This suddenly turned plum plant, as if separated by a curtain of ice mist, although the sun is bright on the head, it is still faint in the eyes, like a mirror. Between the smooth and green branches and leaves, there is a touch of fragrant breeze, fluttering around the tree, and the pale yellow plum buds on the branches with crystal snow flakes are gently swaying in the wind, as if they want to speak.
Seeing Xue Yi suddenly turning into plums, Xingyan was not the slightest surprised. Because he remembered that the princess of Kunlunxi had confessed that Miss Xueyi had suffered a catastrophe after all, and she couldn't completely come back to life for a while. Now Xue Yi can only get the help of this soul returning spiritual liquid, first return to her original form, and carefully nourish it with the vitality and aura of Luofu Cave Heaven, at least a few months, or at most two or three years, she will definitely be able to return to her female form.
So in the following days, Xingyan lived in a simple place, and every time he was in front of the stone cliff cold spring, he accompanied this flower tree Mei Ling, took care of it, and did not dare to slack off.
When the snow is suitable for plum blossoms, the season has entered March, and it is the spring scenery like smoke. In front of the Thousand Bird Cliff, the catkins fly like snow, and the peach blossoms fall like rain. However, despite the romance of this spring and the boundless scenery, Xingyan has no intention of traveling and playing. In March, Xingyan remembered the ancient adage, "plum and bamboo grow together", so he got up early in the morning, carrying a small hoe and carrying a bamboo basket, and went all over the mountains to find the bamboo whip and bamboo knots that had not yet been jointed. At this time, the young bamboo whips are at their most vigorous, and every time they find one, they will be carefully dug out, put the soil in the back basket, and after returning to the Thousand Bird Cliff, they will be transplanted on the hillside in front of the Sleeve Cloud Pavilion.
At this time, the master of Zhang Hall, who was looking for bamboo all over the mountain, was very similar to his fellow doorman, Tian Renbao, who had gone crazy in the past when he was looking for treasures. He is looking for bamboo and planting bamboo these days, he is really not afraid of the danger of mountains and ravines, and every time he finds a waste of sleep and forgets to eat; sometimes unconsciously, it is already the moon on the east mountain, the night is deep, he still carries the bamboo basket on his back and shuttles through the deep mountains and old forests, looking for bamboo in the moonlight, tireless, forgetting the way back.
And these bamboo species found in March are the most vigorous; often overnight, they grow joints, up to several inches and feet, so in the tireless and painstaking management of Zhang Tangzhu, in the middle of March, the slope in front of the thousand bird cliff has been planted with fine bamboo; whenever the breeze comes slowly, it is full of mangosteen leaves rustling, then the sound of the waterfall between the opposite mountains, no longer heard. Precisely:
How many times in the deep mountains, the pavilion grass is green, and the plum fairy goes to the mountains and clouds.
I am willing to give the mountain a red face and cultivate to the plum blossom with the drunken fairy.
In this way, the child slipped through his fingers like flowing water, and before he knew it, it was late spring in April. In the past two months, the master of the four seas who has lived up to the great spring, when the bamboo forest in front of the mountain is all over the field, he will only stop on the Thousand Bird Cliff and pass the time leisurely. Every spring, to a wisp of green willow smoke, look at the moon of pear blossoms, lie on a pillow of green bamboo wind, accompanied by the slim plum tree, but also light and leisurely. Occasionally, he also recalls those tactful and affectionate pretty faces, or reminisces about Xiao Qiongwei's cute and cute childish words, so he can't help but laugh until he ...... All of this is his greatest pleasure before Xue Yi returns.
And in this sunny spring and smoke moon, the old dragon king who was blasphemous also came with wind and rain several times. He is now aware of the situation, but he has no choice but to comfort him with kind words and inform him of the progress of his granddaughter's recuperation in the East China Sea in time. And the old dragon king, who is addicted to alcohol, has been in a budding state since the South China Sea incident was settled, and he always brings more wine when he comes back. So the old and the young, in the sleeve cloud pavilion to drink, every time from the sunset, the glow of the rock, until the moon moved to the sky, then the old dragon Jun drunk and returned. The staggered and laughing are like a son-in-law.
During this period, Xingyan also returned to Horseshoe Mountain once. In addition to trying his best to be filial in front of his parents, Xingyan also went to Raozhou City to find the enlightenment teacher Mr. Ji Lao and helped him perform the crown ceremony. Before he knew it, he was already 20 years old this year, which was the year of the crown ceremony, and since then, he has officially become an adult. After the crown ceremony, he finally had his own name in addition to his name. At that time, I pondered for a long time, and finally put two words in my words:
"Immortals"
The alias, for the time being, was also absent-minded, so he took the "Four Seas Hall Master" to fill up.
And this time when he returned to Raozhou City, he also knew the bad news of Rui Niang in Huayue Building. When he learned about it, the beautiful woman had been buried in the loess for more than half a year, and he was very embarrassed to wake up and think about the old things. So in the few days in Raozhou, he didn't care about his identity at all, prepared wine and paper money, and was instructed by someone to go to the eastern suburbs of Rao City to pay tribute to the requiem.
When I relied on the hanging lady, it was dusk. The sun shone on the west side of the city, and the faint shadows were scattered, adding to the sadness. In the shadow of the slanting sun, when the old Huayuelou musician came to the tomb, he saw that the tomb had been arched. The grass is green, scattered and barren. Faced with this situation, when I think of the woman's charming face like a flower, I am very sad.
"The grass is separated from the old buried incense, and now I listen to the black cry of the sunset; the vicissitudes of life are still green, and the thousand-year-old dream is still doubtful. ”
Facing the weedy barren hills, listening to the evening crows, and then remembering the poem I said in the wilderness, it was like a proverb. When the desolation lingered in the chest, Xingyan was also in front of Rui Niang's grave, dipped in ink and pen to write a eulogy on yellow paper, and burned it in the remnants of the sun, as his own sacrifice.
The poem says:
The female grave is cold and the funeral palace is far away, and the old makeup building is lonely.
The exposed moss is mossy and crickets, and the wind wears through the green bamboo net crickets.
Autumn clouds and Luo Pawen incense stains, bright moon Qiong cup glamorous shadow.
Leave the jade rui's last poems, and the quality of the pavilion is described with sorrow.
Perhaps, in a sense, Rui Niang had some mysterious symbols of mature female surnames for Zhang Xingyan back then, full of initial attraction. And with the dissipation of the wisp of burnt green smoke in front of Rui Niang's grave, Xingyan finally bid farewell to his innocent and youthful youth.
After returning from Raozhou, back to the Thousand Bird Cliff, whenever the moonlight is like water at night, Xingyan will also drink a glass of wine in front of the light plum under the moon shadow, and then blow the jade flute lightly in the shadow of the plum blossom, and the ethereal flute sound will linger all over the cliff. After a song, it is full of wine, and drinks in front of the flowers under the moon, and then it is a quiet and low flute, which is accompanied by plum blossoms until dawn. When I was speechless, I was silent when I played, and I was frightened by the heart of the flower.
Such a career can really be described as otherworldly and extraordinary, but although he is so carefree for the time being, there always seems to be a dark shadow in his heart, such as covering the moon and night clouds, which makes him a little unhappy.
In the middle of April, when he was admiring the flowers in front of the spring, he still felt a little uncertain, and suddenly in the mouth of the stone crane in front of the Sihai Hall, there were two sharp chirps, and wisps of white smoke floated out!
"Feiyunding has something urgent?!"
Now that the Lord of the Four Seas Hall has an extraordinary status, even the old acquaintance and the new head Qinghe Zhenren dare not summon him at will. In this way, Xingyan looked at the green smoke that continued to spread out of the crane's beak, and his heart was even more uneasy!
