Chapter 7: Night Talk

readx; Perhaps the immortals heard the prayers of the villagers, and the next day the rain began to lighten. www.biquge.info The sky that had been dark for a month ushered in a clear sky that had not been clear for a long time. The sun began to shine through the clouds, and the villagers began to walk out of the house in twos and threes, happy on everyone's faces.

Due to the heavy rain for several days, the villagers have nothing to do at home, and Liu Xuan's bamboo house has become a paradise for children.

"At the beginning of people, their nature is good, their sex is similar, and their habits are far away. ”

There was a burst of children's reading in the bamboo house, Liu Xuan stood in front of the stage and wrote on a wooden board with a charcoal pen, and the children in the room sat in all directions, following Liu Xuan's handwriting and began to read aloud.

After finishing the last stroke, Liu Xuan pointed to the handwriting on the wooden board and asked, "Who of you knows what these words mean?"

As soon as the words fell, the children raised their hands one after another, scrambling to answer first, Liu Xuan smiled and waved his hand, pointing to the biggest bull. Da Niu stood up excitedly, hesitated for a while but couldn't answer, and suddenly the children around him laughed, Da Niu was anxious and his face was flushed and kept thinking about it, and the embarrassed appearance made the children laugh even more.

Liu Xuan chuckled and looked at the children laughing all over the room, and couldn't help but think back to his distant childhood, he had never been so happy since he entered the Danyang Sect, and the six years since he left the Danyang Sect made him even more miserable. The framing of the sect and the betrayal of his lover, all of this was stuck in his heart like a needle, which kept him awake at night. For countless nights, when he stared at the sky, he seemed to be able to see Liu Yan's face, as if he could see that familiar but unfamiliar figure.

Shaking his head lightly to shake these thoughts out of his mind, Liu Xuan glanced at the sun that was about to set, and said to the children: "That's all for today, let's practice more when we go home." ”

The children responded in unison, and Da Niu took the lead in standing up, commanding the children in the room to bow to Liu Xuan.

"Goodbye, sir. The children shouted in unison.

Liu Xuan smiled and waved his hand, "Goodbye, everyone." ”

Seeing the backs of the children leaving in twos and threes, Liu Xuan began to place the bamboo chairs scattered in the room together.

"I didn't expect you to have this leisure. ”

An abrupt voice came from behind him, Liu Xuan was slightly stunned and then continued to clean up the bamboo chair, and said without looking back: "Anyway, idle is idle, and I also like these children very much." ”

Xuanyun Zhenren found a bamboo chair and sat down with a big grin: "There were only a few families in this village before, but I didn't expect that there would be so many people now. ”

Liu Xuan, who had packed up the bamboo chair, poured him a cup of tea and said with a smile: "There is no time for cultivating immortals, and it is hundreds of years in a blink of an eye." ”

Xuanyun Zhenren took a sip of tea and sighed: "The last time I came to this village was about three hundred years ago. ”

Liu Xuan said with a smile: "Now the people in the village worship you as an immortal, and they have to worship you several times a year." ”

Xuanyun Zhenren glared and said angrily: "I'm not dead, you let them stop worshipping me in the future, it makes me feel like I'm going to die." ”

Liu Xuan smiled: "I'm just a teacher, you have to tell the village chief about this." ”

Putting the tea on the table, Xuanyun Zhenren looked at the bamboo house, and after a long time, he whispered, "Are you really going to stay here forever?"

Liu Xuan was silent for a moment when he heard this, and said softly: "I should be leaving after building the foundation, I don't belong here after all." ”

"I remember when I first came to the village, the big cow was only a little tall. Liu Xuan gestured at his waist as he spoke, and said with a smile: "It's almost up to my chest now, and I have hardly changed at all, and when they are all old and see that I am still like this, they will definitely treat me as a monster." ”

"Maybe I'll treat you as a god and start worshipping you. Xuanyun Zhenren said with a smile.

Liu Xuan didn't care about his ridicule, his eyes looked through the window at the already dim sky outside, and his thoughts seemed to return to the Danyang Sect and the moment when he returned to the council hall.

After a long time, Liu Xuan retracted his gaze and sighed: "I still have a lot of things on my back, and I still have a lot of things to do." ”

Xuanyun Zhenren seemed to feel the sadness in Liu Xuan's words, and sighed lightly: "Everyone will always be burdened with some unknown things in their hearts, if you want to open a little, people will be much easier." ”

At this time, the sky had completely darkened, Liu Xuan pointed at the candlestick in the air, and suddenly the wick on the candlestick began to burn, the slight candle flame swayed gently with the breeze blowing from the window, and the shadows of Liu Xuan and Xuanyun Zhenren also began to sway with the wind, both of them seemed to be indulging in their own memories, and the bamboo house gradually fell silent.

......

......

Everything is still as usual in the Danyang Sect, in the side hall of the council hall, the head Yun Wanshan and several elders are sitting together, the hall is brightly lit, several elders are still tightly closed, only Elder Huo slightly raised his eyelids and looked at everyone listlessly.

Yun Wanshan looked at the night that was already dark outside, and said, "Elder Feng, tell me your opinion. ”

Zhang Yiqing opened his eyes when he heard this, and said softly: "Although the Tongzhou Association is only an organization of some small sects, everyone is the same sect of the Dao Sect, and they are also there to fight against the Demon Sect, I think I can still send someone to support them." ”

Hearing this, Elder Huo snorted, and said nonchalantly: "Then what kind of boat will be thousands of miles away from us, and it's just some small sect things, let's take care of what they do." ”

"Elder Fire's words are wrong. Hearing this, Elder Dan opened his eyes and said, "Although the Tongzhou Society is very weak, it is also the same sect of the Dao Sect, and their purpose is also to fight against the Demon Sect, so I agree with Elder Feng's words. ”

Yun Wanshan nodded and said, "What does Elder Dan think?"

Elder Dan stood up and said, "Although the Tongzhou Society is very weak, and the organization is only a few small sects, but they can provide us with a lot of alchemy and refining materials, we have been recruiting new disciples almost every year over the years, and the low-level materials of the sect are almost exhausted. ”

"Not bad. Yun Wanshan nodded and said, "Our material consumption has indeed been relatively large over the years. ”

Elder Dan continued, "And we don't need to pay anything, we just need to send someone to give them a guarantee, promise that if the Demon Gate calls, we will send someone to help them. ”

Elder Fire didn't care about other people's rebuttals, he really couldn't be interested in such a trivial matter, he just hoped that the meeting would end quickly and he could rest early.

Yun Wanshan thought for a while and asked, "Then who is the right person to send this time?"

Elder Dan pondered for a moment and said, "First of all, a few of us old fellows definitely can't go, most of the big disciples of the sect are obsessed with cultivation, and they are not good at these communication things. ”

After bowing his head and thinking about it, Elder Dan finally said, "I think Elder Feng's grandson, Zhang Zihao, is a good candidate. ”

Looking at Elder Feng's puzzled eyes, Elder Dan explained: "Zihao has been cultivating hard in the past few years, and now he is in the cultivation of the enlightenment period, and his communication skills have always been good, most of the disciples in the sect have a very good relationship with him, and as the grandson of Elder Feng, his identity is also sufficient. ”

Yun Wanshan nodded after hearing this and said, "Zihao is really good, then send him this time, it can be regarded as a little experience for him." ”

None of the people objected anymore, Yun Wanshan stood up and said, "There are still two years left in the Tongzhou Society, considering the long distance, I will lend him my Cloud Boat, and Elder Feng will also inform him in a while to let him prepare as soon as possible." ”

Elder Feng nodded, Yun Wanshan waved his hand to signal the end of the council, and Elder Fire couldn't wait to get up and walk outside.

In the middle of the night, there was silence in the dammones, except for a few faint bursts of light coming from a few small buildings.

In an attic not far from the Fengmen Hall, Liu Yan was lying on the desk looking at the scroll, a pair of willow eyebrows wrinkled deeply, no one had given her an analysis of the exercises since Liu Xuan left, many things that were used to be understood by Liu Xuan were often stumped now, whenever she always thought of Liu Xuan's figure at this time, she would think of that pair of painful and desperate eyes.

A slight sound of footsteps interrupted her thoughts, Zhang Zihao walked behind her softly, gently pressed his hands on her shoulders, and said softly: "Why haven't you rested so late." ”

Liu Yan put down the scroll in his hand and said softly: "There are still some questions that I haven't figured out, why don't you sleep so late." ”

Walking to the side, Zhang Zihao poured himself a cup of tea and said, "My grandfather has something to do with me, and when I came back, I saw that your room was still lit, so I came over to take a look." ”

"It's so late, what is Elder Feng looking for you?" Liu Yan asked suspiciously.

Putting the tea on the table, Zhang Zihao stepped forward and took Liu Yan's hand and said, "The head of the sect decided to send me to the Tongzhou Club to discuss cooperation with them. ”

"Tongzhou Society?" Liu Yan thought for a while and said, "Is that the envoy who came a few days ago?" I heard that the Tongzhou Society is far away from Danyang Sect. ”

Zhang Zihao nodded and said, "The head decided to lend me his cloud boat, and I can get there in about half a year with the cloud boat." ”

Looking at the beautiful girl in front of him, Zhang Zihao's eyes were tender, and he said softly: "When I come back from the same boat, I will ask my grandfather to hold a big wedding for us." ”

Liu Yan's heart fluctuated when he heard this, and the hand he was holding trembled slightly, and another person seemed to appear in his hazy eyes.

"Liu'er, after I build the foundation, I will ask Elder Huo to hold a big wedding for us. ”

Liu Xuan sat on the bed and whispered to the girl in his arms, Liu Yan curled up in Liu Xuan's arms, and her beautiful face was blushing.

More than six years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the person who once said this to himself is long gone, and hearing such words again at this time, Liu Yan couldn't help but feel a lot in his heart.

"What's wrong with you?"

Zhang Zihao shook the stunned Liu Yan slightly, and after coming back to his senses, Liu Yan chuckled and shook his head to indicate that he was fine.

"I've already told my grandfather that he'll give us a wedding as long as I get back. ”

Liu Yan nodded when he heard this, and said softly: "It's no better outside than in the sect, you should be careful all the way." ”

Zhang Zihao chuckled and said: "Don't worry, I have the cultivation of the enlightenment period, and I am the grandson of Elder Danyang Zongfeng, who dares to touch me in that rural place." ”

Liu Yan chuckled and didn't say anything when she heard this, Zhang Zihao slowly hugged her into his arms, Liu Yan shook lightly and stopped struggling, but his eyes looked at the dark night outside.

In the middle of the night, the breeze blew in from the window, the candle flame in the house began to sway violently in the wind, and finally completely extinguished after holding on for a while, Zhang Zihao gently hugged Liu Yan to the bed, turned to the window and pointed at the sky, the curtain on the window fell in response, and the whole house suddenly fell into complete darkness.
