Rivers and lakes

His voice was too low, and his disjointed voice was broken in the wind. Zuo Luo, who was standing beside him, couldn't hear clearly, so she asked, "What did you just say, Sect Leader?"

Zhang Kailing shook his head: "Nothing."

As soon as the people left, Yi Jiangu, who was already sparsely populated, seemed even more deserted.Gu Wuyou sometimes practiced sword, sometimes practiced handwriting, and sometimes followed the third senior brother as a thug.When I occasionally feel bored and at a loss, the days go by like this.

After an autumn rain, the weather is even cooler.

Yijian Valley finally welcomed the No. 18-day first guest after the brothers and nephews went down the mountain.

A kind-hearted, fairy-like, calm blind man, and a 12-year-old girl who is as innocent as a cardamom, and looks very cute.

Although this old man with white hair and childlike face was blind, he didn't see the blind man's embarrassment at all.He walked in leisurely, as if he could see it completely.Such a person has all five sense organs and has reached the realm of distinguishing sounds and knowing things.

So even if she didn't know who he was, Zuo Luo, who was in charge of the reception, didn't dare to neglect him in the slightest.

The old man is different from Gongtai's white-haired and childlike face. Gongtai took a elixir by mistake back then, which caused his black hair to turn white.The white of the palace platform has a touch of golden yellow in the white, not only does it not look old at all, but it has a majestic and majestic momentum.

But this old man is so clean that there is no dust, as if a snow scene stretching for thousands of miles is spreading on his head.The vast expanse of whiteness resembles a vast and vast sea.

Zuo Luo, who has never been very talented in enlightenment, realizes a realm for the first time: mountains are boundless but seas are boundless.

If you compare the palace platform with this old man, you will find that the palace platform is just a limited mountain, and there is pressure but it is not invincible, but this old man is a boundless sea. It looks like there is no oppression, but it makes people feel Can't fathom its depth.

What Zuo Luo never imagined was that not only the sect master, the third uncle, the junior uncle, but also the old ancestor Gongyang Yexing who had been in seclusion for several years came out to receive this old man.

Zuo Luo quickly knelt down and said: "Disciple Zuo Luo, pay respects to the old ancestor."

Gongyang Yexing had gray hair and walked steadily. He was wearing a white silk dress, which was casually hung on his body, without any accessories on his body.The old ancestor, who had lived for countless ages, waved his hands lightly, and said, "You all go down, Kai Ling stays here."

"Yes." Everyone nodded and lowered their eyebrows in response.

The visiting old man let go of the little girl's hand, pointed at Gu Wuyou who was standing next to Gongyang Yexing, and said, "Come on, follow this brother out to play."

"Hey." The little girl agreed crisply, raised her head and smiled brightly at Gu Wuyou.

Gu Wuyou was a little surprised that the old man would call him, but he also smiled and took the little girl out of the room.

After going out, Zuo Luo couldn't help asking: "Uncle Third, who is this old man?"

Gongtai sighed softly: "The real Chulu of Wudang Mountain."

Gu Wuyou felt that this title sounded familiar, and was still wondering who the real Chuying was, when he heard Zuo Luo gasp.

The real person, the body hole is nothingness, and the truth is in harmony with the Tao, the same as nature, omniscient, omniscient.Those who can be called real people are already unborn existences, not to mention the very high-ranking real people in Wudang Mountain.

Master Chulu lived on the top of Wudang Mountain all year round, and he only went out of the mountain twice in his life.

The first time I went out of the mountain, Wudang's spirit gradually weakened, and the incense was not strong.The real person Chulu came down to the mountain gate for the first time and attracted the mystical beasts of ten thousand years to live in Wudang Mountain. Since then, Wudang's prestige has been unparalleled for a while, and Baochan Temple and Confucianism, which are the three pillars of the orthodox religion, cannot match it.

The second time he came out of the mountain, the Moyun Sect unified the twelve branches of the demon sect in the Jianghu, and swept all the sects in the Jianghu with a destructive force, with the arrogance to encroach on the decent.Daoist Chulu came out again, and the Demon Cult was in civil strife, and the unification trend collapsed.

No one knows the true cultivation level of Chuying, but after the fact that the Wannian Xuan Beast was introduced into Wudang Mountain, if this real person is mentioned again in the world, it will be like a high mountain and a stop.

Thinking of this, Zuo Luo looked at the little girl with incomparable respect.It happened that the little girl turned around and asked, "Sister, do you have any water to drink?"

Zuo Luo hurriedly held her breath, bent down and said, "Yes, yes, what water do you want to drink? I have Maofeng, Xinyang Maojian, and Lushan Yunwu in my hand. What do you want to drink?"

These teas are all teas that she is reluctant to touch on weekdays. When she saw that the little girl wanted to drink it, she said it all at once, fearing that the little girl would be dissatisfied, and then said: "I also collected the dewdrops on the chrysanthemums, do you want it?" ?”

The little girl looked at her anxiously.

Gong Tai looked at it and smiled, "She is probably just thirsty and wants to drink some water. Just get some warm water."

Zuo Luo just woke up like a dream, she let out a cry, and hurried to go.

Gong Tai looked at it and shook his head, and said: "Just now I was still wondering why the real person wants you to take care of this little girl. It seems that the real person is a real person after all, and the ability of this clever calculation is not comparable to ordinary people's flattery." After finishing speaking, he said: "Okay, you can take her around to play, I'm going to the pharmacy."

Gu Wuyou said: "Yes."

As soon as Gongtai left, Gu Wuyou bent down and asked, "My name is Gu Wuyou, what's your name?"

The little girl raised her head and said, "My name is Xia Luo."

Gu Wuyou said like a few treasures: "There are several swings in the back of the yard, and a big hammock. I'll take you to swing on the swings later, okay?"

Xia Luo listened, with a look of disdain: "That's so boring, swinging is something only children can do. I heard from my grandfather that there are many rare and exotic beasts in Qingcheng Mountain, can you take me to see them."

Gu Wuyou: "Yes, there are, but all of them are too clever to catch. It's almost winter, and they are all going to hibernate. Don't you have a lot of cranes in Wudang Mountain, and the Wannianxuan beast?"

Xia Luo pouted and said, "I'm tired of looking at the cranes, and they don't even let me touch them, saying that they are sacred objects that cannot be profaned, let alone let me ride them. As for the ten thousand year profound beast, it's just a whole The tortoise that hides in the pond and refuses to show its head, even I have never seen its whole picture, it is so boring."

Xia Luo was playful and cute, speaking like this came from the weirdness of a child.

Gu Wuyou smiled and said: "If that's the case, how about I sneak you to my fourth senior brother's flower garden later? There are many treasures in my fourth senior brother's flower garden. Let's take a look secretly Like? But it has to be said, you can only look at it, not touch it.”

Xia Luo's eyes lit up when he heard that the flowers bloomed for a hundred years and bear fruit for a hundred years: "But it's almost winter, are they still open?"

"There are flowers, but not many. But there are many leaves with various shapes, which are also very special."

Xia Luo cheered happily: "Okay, let's go now."

"Wait a minute, let's drink some water before going."

In the room, Gongyang Yexing's face was filled with the joy of reuniting old friends and slight worry.Priest Chulu usually doesn't go down the mountain, if he goes down the mountain, there must be a big event.

He said softly: "I haven't seen you for many years, and you still look the same."

Master Chulu picked up the small wooden bowl, took a sip of herbal tea, and said slowly, "I'm fine, but how is your retreat?"

Although Master Chulu is old, his voice is as calm as a middle-aged man, without any signs of aging.

Gongyang Ye sighed happily: "I have already passed the age of knowing my destiny, whether I can break through this hurdle depends on chance. Don't you know fortune-telling, why don't you tell me this fortune?" After that, Gongyang Yexing With a long laugh, it seems that he doesn't care about his own limit.

Seemingly unbearable, Zhang Kailing couldn't help but said: "Old ancestor."

Gongyang Yexing's age has reached a critical point. If he can't make a breakthrough, he may have no hope of reaching a higher level in his lifetime, and his lifespan will also be at the end of his life.This is also the reason why Gongyang Yexing couldn't retreat for so many years.

Gongyang Yexing waved his hand, preventing Zhang Kailing from continuing.After so many years, he has already seen the difference between life and death, so naturally he doesn't need the superficial comfort of the younger generation.

Seeing that Master Chuying did not speak, Gongyang Yexing knew that he probably had no life to get out of this test.Then he asked: "If I can't break through this hurdle, I'm afraid I won't live long. Tell me the truth, can Yi Jiangu be happy?"

Since Yijiangu retired from the world 18 years ago, Yijiangu's reputation in the world has gradually faded.If it wasn't for his own selfishness back then, why would the family business handed down by his master wither to such an extent.This incident became a thorn in Gongyang Yexing's heart.

Gongyang Yexing always thought that if he could see the revival of Yijiangu in his lifetime, he would be able to rest in peace even if he died.

Master Chulu put down the small wooden bowl and said slowly, "Neng Xing."

There are only two words, but they are powerful.

After Gongyang Yexing heard this, his expression was startled, and then he laughed loudly, his cheeks were flushed, his eyes were misty, and the depression deep in his heart disappeared instantly.

Qiu Zhan's flower garden covers an area of ​​more than [-] mu, and is covered with a greenhouse, allowing only thin sunlight to enter.

The flower garden is a wonder of Yijian Valley. In addition to the wonders of blooming flowers, it also contains a large number of rare treasures that can be seen in ancient books. Zhang Kailing once said with a smile that the few flowers raised by Qiu Zhan are enough to beat the world. My headache and brain fever, not to mention the immortal medicine that I have spent countless efforts to practice with these precious immortal products.

It is winter now, and most of the flower gardens are bare and dead branches, but when spring begins, all the branches grow out, tender green and tender green, looking from a distance, they are colorful and very beautiful.Not only Gu Wuyou likes to play here, but all the younger brothers and sisters like to play here.

Xia Luo pulled Gu Wuyou's sleeves and wandered around inside, but she opened her eyes and looked here and there. Not to mention, there were many strange-shaped plants that she had never seen before.Thinking of it this way, her eyes were not enough to see, and she was about to ask what kind of flowers the grafted plants could grow, when she suddenly felt itchy on her fingers.

Looking down, there was a finger-sized vine next to her hand, with only a stem and no leaves, growing bare in a pot.Xia Luo pointed at it and asked, "Brother Wuyou, what is this?"

Gu Wuyou thought for a while, then asked Zuo Luo next to him: "Do you know each other?"

Zuo Luo shook her head, she was the least knowledgeable in Yijian Valley, she knew nothing but superb swordsmanship.

Gu Wuyou said: "I don't know, it's just that the fourth senior brother has been raising it, and it has never grown branches and leaves, and has always been so bare."

Xia Luo nodded, and couldn't help stretching out her hand a little.Just stretched it out, remembering that Gu Wuyou said that you can't touch it with your hands, so you want to retract your fingers.Unexpectedly, before the fingers could retract, the vine suddenly moved like a water plant.

The soft and boneless vines swayed gently, and suddenly wrapped themselves around Xia Luo's fingers, crawling towards Xia Luo's fingers as if they were alive.

Xia Luo cried out in fright: "Brother Wuyou!"
