Chapter 10: Despair
Qingyun Mountain, Xiaozhu Peak.
It has been three days since Tian Buyi's body was sent back to Dazhu Peak by Ghost Li, but Su Ru still strangely prevented the disciples of Dazhu Peak from reporting the bad news to his fellow disciples, which not only made Song Daren and the others feel inexplicable in addition to their great grief and pain, but even Ghost Li was a little surprised.
It's just that no one dared to talk about it to Su Ru in person, facing her husband who was using immortal treasures to protect his body and body in the Shoujing Hall, Su Ru's face was sad and sad, and Zongren couldn't open his mouth.
It's just that in the early morning, an outsider finally came, and quietly landed on the big bamboo peak, white like snow, floating out of the dust, it was Lu Xueqi.
The faint blue glow flashed, the rui qi gently lingered, and the sky was quietly radiating brilliance between her white hands.
She silently looked at the white mourning curtain for a while, and walked towards the Shoujing Hall, and it didn't take long for Song Daren and others to notice the movement in mourning clothes, and they walked out of the Shoujing Hall one after another, with a trace of surprise on their faces, and at the same time a little embarrassed.
After seeing clearly that the person who came was Lu Xueqi and she was the only one, Song Daren and the others obviously breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Xueqi bowed and said lightly: "Lu Xueqi, under the Xiaozhu Peak Gate, has seen Senior Brother Song and all the senior brothers."
Song Daren and Wu Dayi, He Dazhi and others who were standing behind him did not dare to slack off, and returned the salute one after another, and then Song Daren smiled bitterly and said, "Why did Senior Sister Lu come to us, alas, this makes you laugh."
Lu Xueqi didn't have the slightest smile on her face, but was a little stern and sad, and was silent for a moment, and said: "Xueqi didn't have any other intentions here, she just wanted to pay tribute to Uncle Tian, and meet Uncle Su Ru, I hope you will report it, and Xueqi is grateful."
Song Daren and the others glanced at each other, muttered for a while, and Song Daren said: "Senior Sister Lu is polite, you are not an outsider, uh"
He paused suddenly, Lu Xueqi's face seemed to be inexplicably red, Song Daren was a little embarrassed, smiled and brought it over, and said: "That's the case, Shiniang, she is not here at the moment, early this morning, she went to the Houshan Bamboo Forest alone, and"
He spoke, with grief on his face, and said in a low voice: "Master, she is too sad for Master's mistakes, stabbed and took Master's body with her, and told me that she will bury Master alone."
Lu Xueqi frowned, a trace of uneasiness passed through her heart, this situation seemed even stranger than she expected before she arrived, regardless of alarming others, how could she not let her biological daughter Tian Ling'er know, Su Ru would bury Tian alone It is not easy?
The thought in her heart turned, she pondered for a moment, and finally asked Song Daren, "Then, what about that person?"
Song Daren was stunned at first, but after looking at Lu Xueqi's face, and He Dazhi, who had always been smart behind him, pulled his sleeve, and said to him, and he also understood, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Little junior brother, he also went to the back mountain."
Lu Xueqi was slightly surprised, raised her eyes to look at Song Daren, Song Daren smiled bitterly, and said, "The senior lady didn't allow me to follow, so I only called the little junior brother to go with me."
Lu Xueqi was silent, and after a while, she saluted Song Daren and the others, and said, "Thank you senior brothers, since this is the case, I will not delay you anymore, and I will come to pay tribute to Uncle Tian again in the future."
Song Daren and the others returned the salute, Song Daren hesitated for a moment, and said: "Senior Sister Lu, there are many twists and turns in the matter here, I still hope for you."
Before Song Daren finished speaking, Lu Xueqi had already said: "I know, Senior Brother Song, please rest assured, Xueqi will never confide in outsiders."
Song Daren nodded and stopped talking, and Lu Xueqi didn't say anything more, turned around and left.
After watching the white figure leave, Wu Dayi took a step forward and said, "Senior brother, I think she is afraid that most of her will go to the back mountain, is this okay?"
He Dazhi next to him said lightly: "Where is the most likely thing, this Senior Sister Lu is obviously going to go to the back mountain to have a look.She said that she came to Dazhufeng today, she must have been under the orders of Uncle Shuiyue of Xiaozhufeng, if she doesn't figure out the situation of Shiniang, it will be difficult for her to explain to Uncle Shuiyue when she goes back."
Song Daren was silent for a moment, and said: "It's okay if she goes, I always feel that Shi Niang is sad about the transition these days, and I've been worried about whether something will happen, but Shi Niang doesn't allow us to go with us, and we can't disobey her will.
When everyone heard this, most of them nodded yes, and then they were silent, and Song Daren let out a sigh of joy, turned around and walked back to the Jingjing Hall.
The mountain bamboo forest behind the big bamboo peak, as far as the eye can see, here is quite similar to the scenery of the small bamboo peak, as far as the eye can see, it is a lush green bamboo forest, dancing with the wind, the bamboo waves are bursting.
On the thin bamboo leaves, there are also condensed countless crystal dew drops, smooth and round, the most precious pearl of Ru.
How many years ago, he started his life on the big bamboo peak here, I don't know how many mornings and dusks, he wielded a woodcutter, sweated, and cut silently in this secluded bamboo forest, the years that used to feel boring, now I think about it, but it seems like a dream, but the peace that once existed, but can never be found back.
The bamboo waves are gusting, and the mountain breeze is slow, passing by the ears.
He let out a sigh of joy in his body and mind, put aside this faint and senseless sentimentality, turned his head, and looked at Su Ru.
Tian Buyi's body is lying on the surface not far away, and there is still rhubarb lying next to it, =.Since Tian Buyi's body returned to the mountain, it seems that this dog has been with Tian Buyi and has never left.
Under Tian Buyi's body, there is no foreshadowing, which seems to be a little disrespectful to the dead, but from Ghost Li to Song Daren and even Du Bishu, no one dares to question Su Ru's behavior.
It's just that even though she won't change her clothes Su Ru's sadness, her behavior is still very puzzling, and she has the heart to ask, but at this moment, Su Ru's figure with her back to him is like a wall, so he doesn't know how to speak.
But at this time, Su Ru broke the silence: "What, do you have something to say to me?"
Ghost Li was taken aback, then groaned for a while, and finally said cautiously: "Master, I have a few words, I don't know whether to say it or not."
Su Ru said lightly: "Say it, I also know that these words, I'm afraid it's not just against what a person wants to say."
Ghost Li suffocated for a moment, he wanted to know that his master was a very intelligent person, it seemed that the pain of losing her husband did not seem to affect her thoughts too much, and at that moment Ghost Li coughed lightly, and said: "Master, please forgive the disciple for being bold, the disciple understands that the master has passed away."
Having said this, Ghost Li glanced at Tian Buyi unexpectedly, and couldn't help but feel a sour in his heart, and only continued after a while: "It's just that the disciple implores the master to mourn no matter what.
Su Ru didn't look back and didn't speak.
Ghost Li was uneasy in his heart, lowered his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "Master, if you have something to say boldly and falsely, please don't care."
Su Ru shook her head, slowly turned around, looked at Ghost Li, and said, "You didn't say anything wrong, what you said was right."
Ghost Li looked at Su Ru, but he was taken aback in his heart, Su Ru was dressed quite differently from the previous days, although he was still dressed in mourning clothes, but he could see that he had been dressed up, and he was a lot more beautiful, which was tempting.
The ghost lowered his head sharply, he didn't know what to say for a while, and hesitated for a while before he said: "Master, the disciple still has a while, dare to invite the teacher."
Su Ru said lightly: "Say it."
The ghost said: "The master died, and the disciple and the master felt the same grief, but the master's body is really not suitable to move lightly, let alone move to this back mountain."
Su Ru suddenly intercepted: "Are you teaching me a lesson?"
Ghost Li hurriedly shook his head and said, "Disciple doesn't dare!"
Su Ru glanced at him and didn't speak, but her face slowly turned softened, and she seemed to think of something, and suddenly her face showed a poignant meaning, and said, "Old Seven, do you know how many years your master has been married to me?"
The ghost was shocked in his heart, and he faintly felt that the words of the master seemed to contain deep sadness, and there was a lot of sadness, but although he knew this, he didn't know how to comfort him, and he was worried at the moment, but he had to whisper in his mouth: "The disciple doesn't know."
Su Ru smiled, turned around, slowly sat down beside Tian Buyi, and said in a low voice: "Actually, you don't know, even I have forgotten myself, these years in the mountains, I spent time with him, which is enough for me, but how can I think about how many days have passed? He always laughs at me for being stupid, saying that in the future, if we fail to cultivate the Tao, it will be difficult to enter the immortal record and fall into reincarnation, and when it comes to the moment of life and death, we don't know what the situation is."
Her voice gradually deepened, and said: "I asked him what he wanted, and he said that there was nothing else to ask for, if he went before me, the cultivators would not want to be buried in a big way, and even the coffin could not be needed, come naturally, go naturally, just ask for a loess on the mountain behind the main peak, which is enough, so that he can watch the people in front of the mountain at night, and he is not afraid of loneliness." Before she finished speaking, she had quietly burst into tears.
The big yellow head lying on the side raised slightly, looked at Su Ru, and then crawled down, and shook his tail slightly.
Su Ru stared at Tian Buyi for a long time, suddenly waved his hand, and said, "You go down the mountain now, and come back in half an hour!"
Ghost Li was taken aback, but he didn't feel a little hesitant, and shouted: "Master"
Su Ru said: "What?"
Ghost Li hesitated for a moment, and finally said boldly: "Master, Master and his old man agreed with you before his death, the disciples naturally dare not disobey, but before the master enters the ground, should I still inform Senior Sister Ling'er?"
Su Ru was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "It's okay, you go down the mountain and go to tell Sù Daren, let him quietly go to Longshou Peak to call Ling'er back!"
Ghost Li nodded, turned to leave, and when he walked to the stone steps at the intersection, he couldn't help but look back again, between which Su Ru sat silently beside Tian Buyi's body, his figure was lonely, and he looked really sad.
Along the way, he was a little calm, and he didn't think of the same scene in the past few days.Su Ru didn't ask Song Daren and others to inform Qingyun Mountain of the bad news, which was extremely strange in itself, and even Tian Ling'er didn't let him know, which was even more unreasonable.
Ghost Li softened his heart and shook it off, in fact, cultivators don't care about the future, and it may not be a good thing to bury it between the green soil and loess.
He thought so silently, and he was too lazy to ride the wind, and walked down the mountain road all the way, and unconsciously reached the middle of the mountain.
But I don't know if Senior Sister Ling'er has been doing well all these years?
A faint wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he shook his head, and then, suddenly, he stopped, and looked ahead in some surprise.
On the mountain road, a white figure in front of him suddenly paid money, slender and beautiful, standing silently, in the morning light did not seem to be half of the earthly atmosphere, silently staring at him.
Ghost Li also looked at her, and the two looked at each other for a long time, but they seemed to have nothing to say.
The mountain breeze blew and blew her hair and clothes, fluttering gently in the wind.
Finally, it was Ghost Li who spoke first: "Why did you come here?"
Lu Xueqi said in a low voice: "My master called me to come and see Uncle Su."
Ghost Li nodded silently, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Shi Niang is treating her injuries in this back mountain, but at this moment she wants to stay alone, and she doesn't want anyone to disturb her, so she tells me to go up after half an hour."
Lu Xueqi also nodded and said, "It's okay, then I'll just wait."
The ghost replied and fell silent, Lu Xueqi over there didn't seem to know what to say, and between the two, when they gradually became silent, although they stood still, they seemed to be farther away."
After a while, Lu Xueqi said softly, "Are your injuries better?"
Ghost Li said softly: "It's much better," as he spoke, he raised his head and looked at Lu Xueqi, and said, "If you hadn't saved me, I wouldn't be able to stand here, so I should thank you."
Lu Xueqi was stunned for a moment, looked at the ghost, and said, "When I am called, my sword"
Ghost Li suddenly intercepted: "Don't say it."
Lu Xueqi's expression darkened, paused, and bowed her head silently.
I only heard that Ghost Li seemed to hesitate a little, and then continued: "The master told me all those things, and she said that I blamed you by mistake, I'm sorry."
Lu Xueqi's body shook, raised her head, and there was sadness on her face, and her eyes were willing to look at her, but Rao was so, he still said slowly word by word: "Master's words, I naturally believe it, but after all, Master and his old man are the mentor who raised me and taught me, I know that maybe I am too selfish, I just hope you give me more time, and I am fine."
"I understand, I'll wait for you!" Lu Xueqi suddenly interrupted him.
Ghost Li was a little surprised, looked up at her, between the beautiful woman biting her lip, there seemed to be tears in her eyes, but the original body that seemed to be a tight tension for you, but it seemed to relax in an instant, the corners of the mouth, there was a faint trace of relief and smile.
His body stiffened suddenly.
It was the cry of the rhubarb, since he returned to the big bamboo peak with the body of his mentor Tian Buyi, the rhubarb saved the body of the owner who followed him silently, and never made a loud noise again, but at this moment, although the bark of the rhubarb seemed a little faint from a long distance, it sounded almost crazy, and the despair in the cry was extremely unheard of in more than ten years.
What was going on to make Rhubarb bark so hysterically all of a sudden?
The faint worry that had been buried deep in his heart suddenly all came to his heart, and his ghostly face instantly turned extremely pale, and even his hands began to tremble slightly.
