The long road to immortality is missing you

It was a very ordinary-looking umbrella, nine inches long, with blue and white patterns embroidered on the tung oil umbrella surface, and there was nothing strange about it.

"This...is it the secret umbrella? Yuanyuan, where did you get it?" Xi Baile asked in surprise.

"So it's called the Tianji Umbrella. However, this is a long story, and the matter dates back to three years ago..." Xi Yuan closed the Tianji Umbrella, laid it flat on the table, and said slowly .

"Three years ago, I remember that it was pouring rain that day. The teacher assigned us a task to find a kind of hemostatic grass. Other places have been occupied by others, so I had to find another way. But unexpectedly, I finally came to that place." On the edge of the cliff, across the abyss, is the forbidden peak of the Tianjun Sect."

"I just wanted to quickly pick that grass and leave quickly, but it was raining heavily that day, my feet slipped, and I... fell."

When Xi Baile heard the words, his face immediately hated that iron could not be made into steel, and Xi Yuan hurriedly continued, "It was because of that mistake that I found this secret umbrella."

"You were lucky enough not to die under the cliff, and then you found it?"

"No, it's on the peak."

"You kid, didn't you say that Juefeng is a forbidden area? And it's separated by an abyss. With your little cultivation, how did you get there? Just bluff me!"

"I was in the process of descending, desperately trying to grab something to stop the downward trend, because I didn't have a sword with me at the time, and I didn't have anything useful around me. Later, I felt a pair of hands grab me and stop it. My downward trend was stopped, and then I was dizzy again, and when I landed, guess who I saw?"

"How would I know? You talk a lot of nonsense, kid!" Xi Baile was impatient, but he still had a serious look on his face.

"I saw a Taoist priest in white! The one with a fairy-like appearance, looks very young."

"Who is he? He gave you the Tianji Umbrella?"

"The Taoist priest didn't tell me my name." Xi Yuan showed a little regret on his face, "He just asked me some questions, and then gave me this."

"Then what? He didn't say anything about the Tianji Umbrella?"

"He asked me to keep it safe at that time, and he didn't say what it could do, and he didn't say that it couldn't be used in front of people. I thought it was an ordinary umbrella, so I didn't ask much. Oh, by the way, the priest said, this umbrella The umbrella will play a major role at some point in the future, but he didn't say when." Xi Yuan looked at his grandfather and said, "Grandpa, do you know anything about this secret umbrella? It has nothing to do with that talisman. what is the relationship?"

"Whether it has anything to do with it or not, I don't dare to guess without authorization. However, the Taoist priest who saved you feels like a person to me."

"Who?"

"Reverend Yunhai, but he is no longer a member of the Tianjun Sect. Therefore, I am not sure if it is him. By the way, besides these, did he say anything to you?"

"He also left me a line of poetry: the grass firefly is shining, but it is not fire, and the lotus dew is not a pearl."

"And then? How did you come back?" Xi Baile didn't think carefully about this line of the poem.

"Later, I was a little absent-minded, and when I came back to my senses, I had already returned to the original place. At that time, the rain stopped, and it felt like a big dream. Only this umbrella exists, really Always remind me that it was not a dream."

Xi Baile stopped talking, and after a while, he put the hexagram sign and other things into the gray cloth bag, tied it up, handed it to Xi Yuan, and said, "Okay, let's talk about this first. This set of things has already been What should be given to you, it is not too late, you go!"

"Ah? Where are you going?" Xi Yuan took it in a daze. Although he had the same intention, it was too sudden, right?

"Aren't you going back to the Tianjun sect? And the fairy gate meeting that happens once every ten years, isn't it about to start? Go quickly." Xi Baile yawned, got up and stretched his arms.

"It's not in a hurry at this moment..." Xi Yuan didn't want to go back so early, and he must be busy after returning.

"By the way, Grandpa, Qingyao..." Xi Yuan suddenly thought of Qingyao and the pair of bright moon ears, "Qingyao wanted to ask me to help her find another one, and now I found it. But she was captured again—”

"Don't you want to break into Qianming Palace again single-handedly?" Xi Baile looked at his "incompetent" grandson like a "fool", "It's no wonder you were arrested by the right envoy of the demon world that time. If I were him, I would also arrest you." You are like this."

"No, no, no." Xi Yuan hurriedly defended himself, "It was really careless that time, and at that time, everyone's spiritual power was suppressed, we didn't expect this to happen. And I'm just a little worried about Qing Yao , after all, he is also somewhat related to us, and Ah Luo is also missing now..."

"It's okay if you don't mention Ah Luo. As soon as you mention him, I will remind you. The origin of this fox is a bit strange. You better not have anything to do with him, you silly boy."

"Ah Luo made it clear to me, he belongs to the purple-eyed fox clan."

"What about the others? Did he tell you why he is like this?" Xi Baile's face was fixed, and his tone became a little harsh.

"Oh, Grandpa, everyone must have a secret. If Ah Luo didn't tell me, why should I press him? Besides, if he wanted to harm me, why did he follow me all the way? And when I fell, Why did he keep squatting by the side and guarding me?"

"Okay, okay, just be stubborn. Let me ask you, when are you going to go back?" Xi Baile waved his hand, determined not to tell him any more.

"In another four, five, six or seven days?" Xi Yuan didn't even think about the exact time, moreover, the Chinese New Year would be over a month away.

"Okay, I'll guide you these few days on how to use these instruments." Xi Baile sat down again, opened the gray cloth bag again, and took out the round brass divination disk that Xi Yuan had seen first.

"Huh? After I learn it, can I come out and make money! Hahaha——" Xi Yuan jumped for joy when he thought that he would soon be able to embark on the road to wealth.

What Xi Yuan was engaged in in modern times is actually useless in this poor place, even if it is a small business, it still needs capital!

Xi Yuan thought about it more than once, after the Fairy Gate Conference, if he really escaped by luck, who cares what Tianjun sect he is!What does the six realms have to do with him?Cultivating immortals and eliminating demons was not what he wanted from the very beginning.Lan Jane?Lin Jinchu?Wei Haoran?What is it with him?

At that time, he can calmly withdraw from this stage that does not belong to him.Then he took his grandfather along and traveled the rivers and lakes, earning a lot of money along the way.As for Wei Haoran, just leave it to my junior sister!

"Stinky boy, be serious. I also said that after so many years, you have grown up, but you are still the same, and you will never change..." Xi Baile was talking about the "Divination Disk", when he looked up, it happened Seeing Xi Yuan who was wandering around the world, he was naturally furious and slapped Xi Yuan on the forehead hard.

"Ouch!" Xi Yuan covered his forehead, "Grandpa, Yuan Yuan is listening carefully! Look at my sincere eyes."

"Okay, let's talk about the way of fortune-telling..." Xi Baile babbled a series of talks, from the dryness of the heavens and the earth to whether it is extremely peaceful, from "two and two are in pairs, change when nothing happens" to "the intersection of heaven and earth" , Wanwutong"...

"Grandpa is talking about "Book of Changes"?" Xi Yuan rubbed his forehead, gritted his teeth, and heard the dawn.

"Oh--"

A shrill cockcrow resounded through the sky, and a red sun rose in the sky, which also startled the spittle-splashing Xi Baile and the drowsy Xi Yuan who were talking here.

"Accidentally, I talked until dawn..." Xi Baile scratched his head and licked his dry lips, but felt that he was still a little bit out of interest.

"It's okay, Grandpa, you continue, Yuan Yuan is listening..." Xi Yuan propped his chin with both hands, and said vaguely.

"You brat, you definitely didn't listen!" Xi Baile cursed secretly, but there was a kind smile on his face.He got up and stretched, his eyes were bright, and he didn't feel sleepy at all.

Looking at the first sunrise in the sky, Xi Baile murmured thoughtfully, "The clouds rise at the beginning of the stream, and the sun sinks into the pavilion, and the mountain rain is about to come and the wind fills the building. This day, after all, is about to change... ..”
