、、、、、、、

The ghost was so anxious that he swept away with all his might, and in his present way, all the flowers and trees on both sides of the road fell for a moment, like a crack in the sea. The wind was blowing faintly in his face because he was too fast, but he didn't care in the slightest.

At this moment, in his heart, there is only the figure of Su Ru in the back mountain bamboo forest.

Rhubarb's bark is still in my ears, and it is extremely manic. The ghostly figure rose from the stone steps below the mountain, made a sharp sound of breaking the sky, and rushed up the stone steps. The person was still in mid-air, but the ghost's heart was suddenly cold, almost unable to control himself, and almost fell down.

On the ground, I don't know when there were two more caves more than one person long and wide, and there were two piles of dirt piled up next to them, seeing that the dirt was damp, it must have been dug by Su Ru just now. The thought of the usefulness of these two caves made Ghost Li's face pale, and his scalp tingled. And Tian Buyi's body still lay quietly in place and did not move, but at this moment, Su Ru, who was most worried about the ghost, threw herself on Tian Buyi's chest and did not move.

Next to him, Rhubarb was facing Su Ru and kept barking loudly.

Ghost Li's heart sank, looking at the slender figure that was still in front of him not long ago, he actually had a kind of timidity that he didn't dare to face and not dare to approach. At this time, on the stone steps behind him, a pale Lu Xueqi slowly appeared, and she stood there from afar, staring at all this silently.

The ghost suppressed his frantic heartbeat, and called softly: "Master?"

Su Ru's body remained motionless, without any response.

The ghostly footsteps slowly moved forward, each step seemed very difficult, and the barking of rhubarb was still in the ears. Finally, he approached Su Ru's body and whispered, "Master...... Don't scare me......"

The slightly trembling hand touched Su Ru's shoulder, and the ghost gritted his teeth, and with force in his hand, he flipped Su Ru's body over: an unexpected slightly smiling face appeared in front of his eyes.

Su Ru smiled, and there seemed to be a hint of relief at the corner of her mouth, maybe she was with her husband.

Her body was still warm, her expression was still quiet and dignified, but she was lifeless.

Rhubarb's bark was still screaming, but it was getting hoarse!

Ghostly's legs went limp, and he sat on the ground, and after a moment, his mind went blank.

"Shi Niang also went to ......"

It was the only cry in his head, echoing endlessly in his heart.

The next day, the rest of the veins of Qingyunmen received the bad news from the first vein of Dazhufeng, and the first Tian Buyi and his wife Su Ru both passed away.

Tian Buyi and his wife have a very important status in Qingyunmen, and they are well known. This bad news shook the Qingyun Gate in a blink of an eye, and countless fellow disciples flew to Dazhufeng to mourn for a while. Tian Ling'er, who hurried back from Longshou Peak, cried in front of her parents. And the rest of the elders of the various veins thought of the old friendship, although they were all successful cultivators, but there were also many tears, among them, the first Water Moon Master of Xiaozhu Peak, who had always been the best friend of Su Ru, was the most sad.

In this solemn and sad atmosphere, there are still some abnormal clues, with the status of Tian Buyi and his wife, the rest of the veins are all present, but in Changmen Tongtian Peak, although there are a lot of elders from the previous generation, but the master of the sect, the Dao Xuan Zhenren of Qingyun Sect, is nowhere to be seen, which inevitably seems that Tongtian Peak is a little contemptuous of the meaning of the Dazhu Peak.

Song Daren and other Dazhufeng disciples are all filial piety, with a sad face, picking up and dropping off the same door, all respectful, but when they saw Xiao Yicai and other Changmen disciples, they had angry faces on their faces, and their words were much colder, Xiao Yicai and the others felt ashamed, and they couldn't say anything, except for a wry smile, they had to stand aside and keep silent.

The incense is swirling, the crying is endless, this piece of mourning is probably the sadness of the deceased, and it can't be floated on the top of the original beautiful and quiet Dazhufeng Mountain. People live for a lifetime, but they don't know if there is really a spirit after death, if this is the case, then the deceased people look at all this in the dark, I don't know how they will feel?

But presumably Natian is not easy, and he won't be sad!

A figure, floating down from the direction of Qingyun Mountain, looked a little dazed, and at noon, entered Heyang City alone.

The streets are full of people, and although they are not as lively as ever, it can be seen that the city is slowly regaining its vitality, some people have died in the Holocaust, some have survived, and new children have grown up, generation after generation, and life is endless.

Ghost Li stood on the street, silently looking at the crowd on the street, strange people passing by, like a tide wave that never stopped. He was in a sea of people, and everything around him was exactly the same people as him, who were born, old, sick, and died, living quietly in samsara.

But why should man live?

Ghost Li suddenly thought so.

Both Master and Master died, and after dying in front of him, after the pain in his heart and lungs, he was left with nothing but numbness and exhaustion.

In this life, he seems to feel that he is walking a road that is far longer than others, and this road has no end in sight.

He walked abruptly, and there were constant voices outside him, shouting, shouting, and even if he wanted to, even the voice of the woman teaching the child in the distance of the street could be heard clearly, but all this, he felt so far away from himself, in a trance, he only felt that he was no longer like this human being.

Unconsciously, he walked to a place, looked up, and saw the familiar restaurant brand, deep in his heart, suddenly moved, and couldn't help but walk in.

There were very few customers in the restaurant, and it was clear that business had not yet recovered from the catastrophe. The shopkeeper greeted him and asked with a smile, "Guest officer, do you want to eat or drink?"

Ghost Li was silent for a moment, but he was speechless for a while. After coming down from Qingyun Mountain, his whole body was in a daze, and he didn't seem to be able to lift his spirits for anything. That feeling, with a bit of desperation, was like witnessing Baguio block that sword for him ten years ago. However, after ten years, he seems to have less of that madness and more of fatigue.

"Guest, guest?"

The slightly raised voice of the shopkeeper woke up the ghost, he shook his head indifferently, walked to the side and sat down in a secluded position.

The shopkeeper followed, still with a smile, and said, "Guest officer, what do you want to eat?"

"You ...... here," he said slowly, and suddenly something flashed somewhere from the depths of his memory, "Do you have any 'steamed fish' here?"

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and said: "Guest officer, didn't you use to be a frequent visitor to our Shanhaiyuan, this steamed fish was our signature dish at the beginning, but now you can't eat it." ”

The ghost was stunned for a moment and said, "Why is this?"

The shopkeeper shrugged his shoulders and said: "It's not to blame those beast demons who killed a thousand knives, when those beast demons occupied this place, they were all affected within a radius of hundreds of miles, and even those fish in the river outside the city were actually swept away. ”

Ghost Li was lost, his face was somehow darkened, and the shopkeeper sighed for a long time before he remembered his business, and hurriedly asked, "Guest officer, why don't you order some other dishes?"

Ghost Li looked away in a daze, and said casually: "Forget it, you can look at a few kinds of wine and food." ”

The shopkeeper nodded, turned and left. Halfway through, three more people came in at the door, the shopkeeper was taken aback, secretly wondering if today's business was actually better, and hurriedly greeted him, but the three people only looked at the store for a while, and suddenly saw the ghost, one of them called out, and there seemed to be a bit of surprise in the voice.

Ghost Li heard a strange voice, and this voice sounded a little familiar, turned his head to look, and was also stunned, the so-called end of the world where not to meet, the three people standing there were Zhou Zhou Xian, Xiaohuan and the wild dog, and it was Zhou Zhou Xian who screamed.

Somehow, seeing these three people, Ghost Li suddenly felt a burst of cordiality in his heart for no reason, although he was not a close friend, but his state of mind at the moment was really light.

I saw that the stunned expression on Zhou Xian's face disappeared in a blink of an eye, and then he smiled all over his face, walked over quickly, and the "Immortal Guidance" curtain hanging from the bamboo pole in his hand fluttered in the wind, and came to the front of the ghost, and said with a smile: "I really can't imagine it, we meet here again." ”

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Ghost Li's mouth, and although it disappeared in a blink of an eye, he still said, "Senior, please sit down." ”

Zhou Zhou Xian nodded and sat down honestly and unceremoniously. The shopkeeper stood aside and asked with a smile, "Are you all together?"

Zhou Zhou Xian glanced at him and said, "Nonsense, can't you sit together together?"

The shopkeeper nodded again and again, and said, "Yes, yes, then please take a seat, I'll go prepare the wine and food, and I'll come right away." ”

Zhou Xian Hehe couldn't stop laughing, but he pulled the shopkeeper over, casually ordered seven or eight dishes, and asked for three or four pots of wine.

Xiaohuan's face on the side was not as happy as her grandfather, on the contrary, her face was dark and ugly. Especially when he saw Zhou Zhou Xian later pulling the shopkeeper to order wine, he was even more gloomy, and wanted to talk several times, but he still endured it. After the second child left the store, she couldn't help but sneer and said, "Grandpa, you asked for so many dishes, did you see the life-saving benefactor here and want to repay them with a treat?"

Zhou Xian's face sank, and he said angrily: "Xiaohuan, what nonsense are you talking about, what kind of friendship do we have with this ghost brother, how can we use these wines and dishes to compare?" As he spoke, he turned his head and smiled at Ghost Li, then sighed, shook his head and said: "Look at this Heyang City, after the catastrophe, people's hearts are not ancient, and they all refuse to look at each other, the world is difficult......"

Xiaohuan's face changed, he glanced at the ghost, and then stared at Zhou Xian fiercely, his face was slightly red. Ghost Li didn't seem to feel anything, and only said lightly: "Yes, don't worry, I was taken care of by you for many days, and this time I ask you to thank you." ”

Xiaohuan's face turned red, but Zhou Zhou Xian was greatly pleased, nodded and smiled: "Not bad, not bad, the children can be taught!"

The wild dog Taoist looked at Xiaohuan, then at the ghost, and stopped talking.

At this time, the shopkeeper came up with a few plates of cold dishes and two pots of wine. Zhou Zhou Xian honestly and unceremoniously took the wine jug, filled it for the people present, and raised his glass and said: "We are all wandering characters, and it is really a rare fate to meet here, so I made this cup." ”

With that, he threw his head up and drank it down, then shook his head slightly, and seemed quite satisfied with the taste of the wine. Ghost Li looked at him, the corners of his mouth moved, I don't know if he smiled, but the muscles on his face looked extremely stiff, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to show it even if he smiled. He slowly picked up the wine glass and put it to his lips, but after a while, he suddenly sighed, with a little helplessness and pain, as if what he was holding in his hand was actually the most bitter thing, and he couldn't drink it, and slowly put it back on the table.

At this time, Xiaohuan, who was sitting next to Zhou Zhou Xian, couldn't help it, and stabbed Zhou Zhou Xian and said: "It's still a rare fate, I don't know who saw someone else's figure from a distance on the street, so he rushed up and thought about eating white food!"

Zhou Xian's face did not change color, and he only glanced at Xiaohuan and said: "Tong Yan Wuji, Tong Yan Wu Ji!"

Ghost Li didn't seem to take Xiaohuan's words to heart, he looked as if he had been absent-minded all the time, if he was thinking, Xiaohuan had known him for many years, but it was the first time he saw Ghost Li with such a look, he didn't feel a little worried, and couldn't help but ask Ghost Li: "How can you, is there something wrong?"

Ghost Li was silent for a moment, but did not answer Xiaohuan, but said to Zhou Xian: "Senior." ”

Zhou Zhou Xian just poured himself another glass of wine, and said with a smile: "What's the matter?"

Ghost Li's eyes were slightly hollow, and he said in a low voice: "I remember ten years ago, when I was a teenager who had just come down from Qingyun Mountain, in this Heyang City, you once calculated my fate for me, right?"

Zhou Zhou Xian and Xiaohuan were all stunned, and the wild dog Taoist was inexplicable, and he naturally didn't know anything about the old things back then. Zhou Xian frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said, "Hmm, I still remember a few points, what's wrong, why did you suddenly ask about the things of the year?"

Speaking of this, a mysterious look suddenly appeared on his face, and he lowered his voice and said to the ghost: "Should you say that after ten years, we were not good at the beginning, and we plan to return the fortune-telling money of the day, right?"

"Grandpa!" Xiaohuan scolded Zhou Zhou Xian, it seemed that he couldn't bear it anymore, pushed Zhou Zhou Xian aside, and said to Ghost Li, "Brother Ghost Li, do you have anything on your mind, maybe ...... Tell me about it. ”

Ghost Li glanced at Xiaohuan, and the tiredness in his eyes showed a rare warmth, but he still shook his head lightly and said, "I'm nothing, I just want to ask the old gentleman a few words." ”

Zhou Zhou Xian tidied up the clothes on his body, coughed, and the aura of the ancient immortal style poured out, and for a while, this small restaurant seemed to be full of brilliance, and he was the only one.

"Say it. He said lightly, "With the friendship between you and me, you can say nothing, but you have to give the same money." In the end, he ignored the blushing face of Xiaohuan next to him, and winked at Ghost Li.

Ghost Li smiled faintly, patted Xiao Huan who was about to have a seizure because of his self-conscious embarrassment, and then turned to Zhou Zhou Xian, with a little confusion on his face, and said: "Senior, you play the world, you have extraordinary knowledge, I have one thing, I am confused, may I ask senior, you said that we live for a lifetime, why did you come?"

As soon as these words came out, Xiaohuan and the wild dog were stunned, looking at the ghost with a puzzled look. Zhou Zhou Xian frowned, the banter on his face gradually faded, and his expression became solemn. He didn't answer, but after a long silence, he said slowly: "You look abnormal, not as good as before, but have you encountered anything unsatisfactory?"

Ghost Li was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "My teacher, my mother, passed away a few days ago. ”

"Ah!" Xiaohuan and the wild dog Daoist were both startled, and they lost their voices, Zhou Zhou Xian frowned, sighed, and said in a low voice: "Is Tian Buyi also gone, it's a pity." ”

The ghost was indifferent, Zhou Zhou Xian closed his eyes slightly, and then looked as usual, and said: "No wonder you have a painful look on your face, it's just that life and death are human nature, no one is exempt, you are an ordinary person, why should you indulge in it?"

The pain on Ghost Li's face became even heavier, and he said, "But the two of them have passed away, and they really have something to do with me!"

Zhou Zhou Xian said lightly: "In this case, when you should pay it back, you will pay it back, why bother to suffer here?"

The ghost was startled, and said, "What should I pay back, what should I pay back?"

Zhou Zhou Xian said: "Let me ask you, when your master and mother passed away, did you have any resentment against you?"

The ghostly head slowly drooped, and after a while, he said slowly: "No, the teacher and the master are as kind to me as a mountain, and until they die, they still remember me and take me, an unfilial disciple, into the door......" When the words came to the back, he was already slightly choked.

Xiaohuan next to her looked at the ghostly appearance, and unconsciously her eyes turned red.

Zhou Zhou Xian smiled slightly, a faint light in his eyes, as if he had jumped out of this mundane world, saw through the world, and said: "Then let me ask you again, when your master and mother passed away, did you have any remorse?"

Ghost Li hesitated for a moment, then slowly shook his head.

Zhou Zhou Xian smiled and said: "That's it, you should be happy for them, die without regrets, isn't it the best fate for them?"

Ghost Li raised his head and looked at Zhou Xian, his lips moved slightly, and his expression was confused.
