Chapter 04: Descending the Mountain

The land of the Central Plains is vast and immense, and its north and south do not know tens of thousands of miles, and the east and west do not know tens of thousands of miles. Since the prosperity of ancient times, the way of heaven is peaceful, there is no disaster of mountain floods and earthquakes, and there is no disaster of fierce birds and beasts, the fertile fields and forests are far from the end, most of the people in the world live here, for thousands of years, they are all safe.

It has five states, each with its own four places, and its center is Zhongzhou, which is known as the "hinterland of the world". To the north of Zhongzhou is Tongzhou, and then to the north is Fuxi Mountain, to the east is Jinju, and Yunmengze is in the south of Jinju.

Qin Chuan and the two of them almost crossed half of the Central Plains on this trip.

However, fortunately, those who cultivate the truth are not limited by footsteps, and they fly freely. From Fuxi Mountain to Yunmengze, it is only a two-day schedule.

and at dusk.

Qin Chuan and Shangguan Yao set off from Luoyan Peak early in the morning, and at this time they had already arrived in the land of Zhongzhou, the two of them were soaring between the clouds, and their sleeves and long hair rose in the wind, so they were not at ease.

"Rest for the night, and go again tomorrow. ”

With a call, Qin Chuan said like this.

Immediately, Shangguan Yao slowed down and looked under the clouds. I saw that between the vast plains, thousands of acres of fertile fields stretched as far as the eye could see, and some of them were dotted with green shade and built buildings, but it was a rather prosperous small city.

This is a small town in the northeast of Zhongzhou, called Fengyu Town.

"Hmm. ”

In response, Shangguan Yao's mind turned, and the true yuan qi changed the rules of flow, and the fairy sword under his feet turned sharply in the direction of breaking through the sky, and it was speeding downward.

Qin Chuan shrugged his shoulders and followed.

In the world, most of the ordinary people are ignorant, do not know the way of cultivating the truth, or have no way to find the way, so they think that the people who cultivate the truth are the people who have attained the Tao and become immortals.

Therefore, in order to avoid trouble, Qin Chuan and the others found a quiet place to land, and only then did they step into the wind and rain town. Although both of them are dressed in robes with the charm of a robe, they are very immortal and have an extraordinary temperament, but in the vast sea of people, they will not attract too much attention.

"It's been a long time since I've seen so many people. ”

Qin Chuan couldn't help but sigh.

At this time, on the streets of the town, people and cars come and go, the surrounding shops and stalls are one after another, all kinds of miscellaneous goods are lined up one after another, and the sound of shouting and selling in the ears is endless, and it is very lively.

"Hmm. ”

Shangguan Yao and Qin Chuan walked side by side, and they also snorted lightly.

Fuxi Mountain is far away from the world and not to say, both of them are cultivated since childhood, pay attention to quiet and natural, and rarely walk in this world, this time they walked into this glitzy hustle and bustle, and they felt a lot of emotion.

In fact, the two of them could find a quiet place in the wild to rest, and coming down to this town at this time was also Qin Chuan's sudden interest. Although he has been cultivating for many years, he is still a young person after all, so it is reasonable to want to have a fun time.

After walking a few steps, Qin Chuan turned his head and glanced at Shangguan Yao.

But at this time, Shangguan Yao's eyes wandered on both sides of the street, looking around, and there was still an unnatural look on his face. I think it's the turbidity in this world that makes her a little uncomfortable.

Suddenly, I saw Shangguan Yao stop, his eyes were focused, and he was staring at a certain stall.

“?”

Qin Chuan was stunned in his heart, and glanced towards the place where Shangguan Yao's gaze was heading.

It turned out to be a kite.

It's very ordinary, just a bamboo frame, pasted on a piece of white paper, on which a koi is drawn, and the painting is rough, and it does not have much beauty. I used to hear Su Xiaoyan say that Shangguan Yao's family is not poor, and even a big family in Beijing, how could he look down on such a kite.

There was a trace of doubt in his heart, and suddenly, Qin Chuan laughed softly.

Unexpectedly, Shangguan Yao, who has always been cold and dusty, occasionally has a little girlish heart.

"If you want, I'll buy it for you. ”

Qin Chuan said.

Hearing this, Shangguan Yao was stunned for half a minute, glanced at Qin Chuan, did not answer, but did not refuse, and continued to focus on the kite. Presumably, I must like it tightly in my heart.

Immediately, Qin Chuan didn't say much, just beckoned the stall owner to take the kite down.

"Wow. ”

Handing the kite to Shangguan Yao, Qin Chuan felt a little helpless in his heart. With Shangguan Yao's cultivation, it is no problem to exert the power of imperial objects and send a person to the sky, I really don't know what to do with buying this kite.

Thinking about it, suddenly, a little embarrassment appeared on his face.

"Uh...... That, how much?"

At this time, I remembered where I had money. Three years ago, when he was in Jiyunguan, Ye Qiuqi gave himself some, and there was a lot left, but this time he went down the mountain to practice, he only brought a handful of Zhenshanhe and some belongings, where did he think of bringing money down.

This time, I lost face......

"Give. ”

Suddenly, Shangguan Yao stretched out one hand and put a silver ingot on the stall, and without saying a word, he glanced at Qin Chuan and picked up the kite and continued to walk forward.

"No need to look for it. ”

Qin Chuan touched his head, a little ashamed, said to the vendor, and hurriedly chased after him.

Only the uncle who set up the stall thanked him repeatedly, and saw that the two of them were dressed like immortals cultivating in the mountains, so they bowed their heads again and again, and kept admiring in their mouths.

......

After wandering around for a long time, it was already nightfall.

Qin Chuan found an inn, picked an accord with Shangguan Yao, and waited for the guy to serve the dishes, before picking up the chopsticks and chopsticks with an eager look, the boy's nature was undoubtedly revealed. In his previous life, he had a lot of scenery, but he was not short-sighted, but after all these years of penance in the mountains, Qin Chuan also missed some delicious food.

Of course, there was still some embarrassment in his face, after all, he had no money......

"This secret phoenix claw is delicious, you can taste it. ”

After saying that, Qin Chuan didn't care about Shangguan Yao, anyway, his words were just to relieve the embarrassment in his heart, and he was not close enough to pick up vegetables for Shangguan Yao.

However, Shangguan Yao didn't seem to be a little interested in this dish, and from the beginning, he frequently paid attention to the kite he bought, and seemed to be happy in his heart.

She glanced at Qin Chuan, but she didn't move her chopsticks.

Those who cultivate the truth are not afraid of hunger and thirst, and are not afraid of severe cold, and sometimes they do not eat water and rice for three or five days, and there will be no major problems, and it doesn't matter if they eat at this time.

"If you like it, I'll make one for you, this one is so ugly. ”

Qin Chuan muttered while eating, and then saw Shangguan Yao's rather strange eyes on him, thinking that she was questioning her ability, so he continued, "What's so difficult about this, I remember when I was young, I even made one myself." ”

“......”

Suddenly, Shangguan Yao's eyes seemed to have a different color flashing, but he looked at Qin Chuan a little sluggishly.

"I ......"

Seeing Shangguan Yao's strange look, what Qin Chuan was about to say also stopped abruptly, and he seemed to remember something in his mind, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't remember it. I did make one of the kites, but when I made them, I don't have a little image.

"My father and mother died when I was a child, and if I hadn't met Zihan, I might not be where I am today. ”

Qin Chuan turned his mouth and said, suddenly feeling a little lonely in his heart.

"You...... It used to be bitter, didn't it?"

Shangguan Yao pursed her lips and said softly. Qin Chuan has never told anyone about his own affairs, everyone only knows that he is an orphan, he has been practicing with Mu Zihan in Jiyun Temple since he was a child, and his past experience is not even known to Ye Qiuqi.

"What do you say?"

Qin Chuan asked rhetorically, but soon laughed again, as if he didn't care at all, "I have also begged in Jingzhou City, and the City God Temple is my world, hehe." ”

"Jingzhou?"

Shangguan Yao raised her head slightly, looking at Qin Chuan quite strangely, her eyes seemed to be filled with joy, puzzlement, questioning, and more, dazed.

But for some reason, they ask like this.

"Huh?"

Qin Chuan snorted lightly. He was indeed in Jingzhou with Mu Zihan, and was taken to Fuxi Mountain in Tongzhou Zicheng after being favored by Xu Laodao of Jiyunguan.

Then, Shangguan Yao shook his head slightly.

In her heart, there are many complicated feelings, but in the end, there is not a word. She lowered her head and continued to look at the kite in her hand, and her unparalleled face seemed to be filled with a warm smile, but on closer inspection, it seemed that it had never appeared.

Qin Chuan sighed in his heart and stopped thinking about it.

"Whew!"

Suddenly, I saw Shangguan Yao suddenly raise his head, raise his eyebrows, and a fierce Dao Law True Yuan suddenly galloped out, turning into a faint blue light, but it shot out of the window. Suddenly, a black shadow passed by outside the window, and in the blink of an eye, it rushed into the distance, and the breath disappeared.

Someone is spying on them!

However, Qin Chuan raised his head suddenly, and under the peep of his thoughts, there was a touch of surprise on his face, and the surprise was mixed with a little joy.

"Zihan?"

In an instant, Qin Chuan suddenly threw down the chopsticks in his hand, and he didn't care about Shangguan Yao, and he used the false wind to show it, which had already turned into a breeze and chased after him out of the window.

That familiar aura is definitely Mu Zihan!

......

The sky is vast, the stars and the moon are clear, and the wind and rain town is brightly lit.

In early spring and February, the evening breeze is still a little cool, and it is blowing in the face. Qin Chuan stood on a certain roof, looking at the end of the endless plain as far as the eye could see, the night was hazy and full of confusion.

"Why don't you come to see me?"

Muttering to himself, Qin Chuan felt a little sad in his heart.

He and Mu Zihan have been together since childhood, and they are closer to each other than relatives, and with the experience of their previous lives, it is absolutely impossible to be wrong. The person who was watching himself and Shangguan Yao outside the window before, except for Mu Zihan, there was absolutely no second person to come.

But why, do you leave for no reason?

"Zihan ......"

called softly, and unconsciously, his heart was full of depression.

"That person, is that Senior Sister Mu?"

A white shadow rushed and fell behind Qin Chuan, under the moonlight, in the evening breeze, like a nine-day fairy fluttering, falling into the mortal dust. Shangguan Yao asked softly, her tone softer than ever before.

"She didn't see me. ”

Qin Chuan replied, suddenly raising his head and looking at the cold waning moon in the sky.

"Perhaps, next time. ”

Shangguan Yao said, and suddenly, there was a slight pain in his heart.

A kite, at some point, quietly rose into the sky, without a line, under the white moonlight, against the wind, and flew for a long, long time.
