wait until the fireworks cool off

I was taken aback, as if I didn't expect him to agree so readily.

"Then... when will the immortal leave?" One of them hesitated.

Oh, can't wait anymore?Are you afraid that he will renege on his promise and become fat in one day?

"Now," Qing Yu looked away, "It's just that I lost my immortal power due to injury, so I have to trouble you to send someone to send me down the mountain and across the sea."

Turning around and returning to the room, he packed up a little less luggage, and he came out safely.

Four elite disciples led him across the vast Changliu sea with his sword, when a strong wind blew up, Qing Yu suddenly had a dreamlike hallucination.

In the past, I have gone, Yang Liu Yiyi.Now let me think about it, rain and snow are falling.

Those four disciples were ordered to escort him all the way into Yaoge City before they bowed and left.

Qing Yu stood alone in front of the city gate, watching the figures of the four people gradually disappear.The setting sun in Yaoge City is just right, and there are fewer and fewer people. Far and near corners of the eaves fly between the walls, and the sad twilight is shrouded in the curling smoke.

He suddenly supported a weeping willow beside him, a pain that pierced through his heart tore apart in his chest, his eyes went dark, and he passed out on the ground.

There are lovers in the world

Qing Yu opened his eyes, and found himself lying in a chaotic mist, unable to see the sky and the earth, and couldn't tell where he was for a while.

The weak draping feeling on his body seemed to have disappeared, and he slowly got up, feeling his body was very light, as if he had returned to the past in an instant.

"Xiao Qingyu." A familiar voice that terrified him seemed to come through the distant time.

Qing Yu turned around in astonishment.

In the dense mist, the old man in memory came slowly, still leaning on an ebony staff, white clothes better than snow, barefoot, with the same joking smile as always.

"Master..."

The old man in white walked up to him with a smile, still with a deliberately serious expression: "Little Qingyu, after seeing Master, why don't you kneel down and pay your respects?"

Many, many years ago, in the square of Changliu Mountain, he also said similar words, good disciple, I have been waiting for you here for a long time for the master, but you just came, why don't you kneel down and apologize to the master?

Qing Yu plopped and knelt down in front of the old man.

The white-clothed old man smiled with enjoyment and did not forget to pat his head.

"Xiao Qingyu is in trouble?"

Qing Yu was startled when he heard the words, and suddenly knocked his head heavily on the ground, his body trembling uncontrollably.

"Master, this disciple's death penalty has failed your entrustment..."

When Immortal Xuan Yi left, he told him and Yan Dao that if Chang Liu broke up, only his two senior brothers would ask him.

But now, he has become a sinner of Changliu, not to mention guarding Changliu, even his teacher can never go back.

He fell deeply on the ground, weeping uncontrollably, he could only clenched his hands into fists and bit his teeth.

Probably only in front of his master can he truly cry and repent, even though he knows that his sins are too serious to be redeemed.

"Oh, don't you just like your nephew? What a big deal." The old man said with a smile, leaning down to comfort his shoulder.

Qing Yu shook his head, still unwilling to get up.

"Master, the disciple made a mistake, let the master punish..."

"Punish? How to punish? Put you in the fairy prison? Or pour him water from the Sansheng Pond?" The old man shook his head dumbfoundingly, "It's not like you don't know that the teacher has always had a good heart, and such vile things as beating mandarin ducks with clubs are absolutely unacceptable. I can't do it. Don't say it's Xiao Qingyu, who was born so handsome and handsome to my little disciple and grandson, I really can't beat him as a teacher..."

"Master..."

Qing Yu raised his head and looked at the old man's giggling smile, feeling a little at a loss.

Seeing that his expression was relieved, the old man sighed softly, and said in a gentle voice: "Qing Yu, my teacher has often told you that when it comes to cultivating the Tao, the most important thing is compliance, and the most taboo thing is obsession. Everyone We all know that love and hatred are obsessions, but you know love in your heart, but force yourself not to love, or not to love, isn’t this also an obsession?”

"Disciple understands, but..."

"Master, I know what you want to say," the old man gently interrupted him, "You think he has a responsibility to Changliu and should not indulge in personal affairs. But Qing Yu, no one is born to be responsible to Changliu and the world, Only when he is willing to make such a choice is his responsibility, otherwise no one can force him to make such a choice, not even you."

Qing Yu said dejectedly: "But the master once said that if Chang Liu is separated, we are the only ones to ask..."

"Oh, I just said it so casually, you guys are serious..." The old man raised his eyebrows awkwardly, "When I was dying, I just felt that the atmosphere was so heavy. If you still make jokes like usual, it will damage the image of the teacher. too big……"

Qing Yu is speechless...

The old man comforted and said: "Qing Yu, Changliu and the people of the world are so great, how can they fall into crisis because of one person's choice? Even if they are really in crisis, these crises must have been accumulated early and deep, only waiting for an outbreak That's all. Why do you worry about it?"

Qing Yu lowered his head and remained silent.Although Master Xuan Yi has never been serious in jokes, what he said is indeed true. It is ridiculous for the elders of Jiuge to regard him as the source of the disaster and Changliu, but he regards Sheng Xiaomo as the only person who is responsible for Changliu and the peace of the world. Isn't it funny?

Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, the old man suddenly said: "Oh, I understand now, Xiao Qingyu is his uncle after all, are you worried that when you grow old in the future, you will be rejected by my young disciple and grandson, afraid that he won't let you go?" is you?"

"Master, what nonsense are you talking about?" Qing Yu frowned: "The disciple is a man with him, after all, separated by the secular restrictions, the disciple is afraid..."

"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that others will point fingers at you?" The old man laughed out loud, "The little dolls in Jiuge have stayed on the mountain for a long time, and they have never experienced any relationship. Damn, do you really have a problem with them? The world is so big, how can there be no room for the two of you, you must be in Changliu Mountain? Those little dolls rarely have such luck as you, if you are in front of others all day long. , don't you feel uneasy?"

Although these words sounded extremely awkward, Qing Yu felt a lot more at ease.

"Master really doesn't blame the disciple?"

"My little disciple and grandson are so good, it's too late for me to be proud of my teacher, why should I blame him?" The old man had a happy expression of his father-in-law praising his son-in-law, "I think that if I didn't get dragged down by all these long-term things, I might have been able to find him. A fairy couple and a beautiful woman spend their whole life together, singing in harmony and enjoying themselves in the world. Tsk tsk, it's a pity, Master doesn't have such good luck as you, it's really a pity for the rest of his life..." After saying that, he gestured to wipe away his tears.

Qing Yu is really dumbfounding now, Master, you love acting too much, don't you...

"Okay, I've babbled so much for the teacher, my mouth is dry, I'm going back now..." The old man's voice gradually faded away, Qing Yu raised his head, only to see his figure fade away little by little, like an empty space phantom.

"Master...Master..." He couldn't help reaching out to catch it, but he only caught a piece of air.

"Qing Yu, you must always remember that a person must first be a human being, and then become a fairy...you must love yourself first...and then you can love the common people...the order must not be reversed..." The voice echoed ethereally, gradually The line drifts away.

Qing Yu knelt on the spot, watching the surroundings return to chaos.

"Master, the disciple has recorded..."

Opening his eyes in a daze, Qing Yu found that he really woke up, in front of his eyes was a dim curtain, with lights like beans, reflecting a vague and strange figure.

It turned out to be a dream.

"Sir, you finally woke up..." The man's face gradually became clear, and his expression was joyful.

Qing Yu was puzzled and said, "Your Excellency is..."

"I am the patrolling guard of Yaoge City, and my name is Zhu Liu." The man was strong and dark, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but he knew how to be courteous: "Just now I saw my husband passed out under the city gate, so I sent him to the barracks. The doctor came to see you and said that you are very weak. I don’t know where the master’s house is? I’ll send a message to my brothers.”

Qing Yu forced a smile and said: "Thank you, Your Excellency. I just passed by here, and the old illness broke out, which really bothers me. Now I feel much better, so it's okay." He lifted the quilt and was about to get up.

"Don't force it, sir," Zhu Liu hurriedly supported him, "It's curfew now, where can I find an inn, sir? If you don't mind it, you can spend one night in the barracks. We have more than 20 brothers here, and we change every hour. Gang Xuncheng, the couch is very vacant.”

Hearing the words, Qing Yu had no choice but to give up, cupped his hands and said: "Then I will bother Your Excellency."

"Where is it?" Zhu Liu hurriedly helped him back to the couch, "When Mr. Cai fell asleep, a roll of bamboo slips fell from his bundle. Can you read the characters?"

"Don't dare, I just know a few words."

"That's great," Zhu Liu was so excited, he quickly approached flatteringly and said, "Sir, I don't understand a book, I wonder if sir can teach me?"

Qing Yu couldn't help smiling, it's no wonder the patrolling guard was respectful and diligent, he was asking for something, so he smiled knowingly: "What book? I'll try to read it?"

Then Zhu Liu joyfully brought a dilapidated bamboo slip, and Qing Yu took a look, it turned out to be half a copy of "Thousand Characters" which he learned from elementary school.

"Master said it was a book for children's enlightenment, but I didn't read the book when I was a child, so I managed to get half a copy. But the master is busy with work, so I don't have time to explain it to me in detail. Can you tell me about this book, sir? What are you talking about?" Zhu Liu blushed, looking rather funny.

"This is "Thousand-Character Essay", a four-character sentence composed of a thousand Chinese characters. From the beginning of the world, it talks about the ways of the ancient ancestors, all aspects of self-cultivation and governance. Although there are only a thousand characters, it is all-encompassing. Let’s talk about it for a while.” Qing Yu said with a smile.

"Okay, okay." Zhu Liu hurriedly responded.

Qing Yu unfolded the bamboo slips, and began to explain to him word by word, Zhu Liu knelt by the couch, listening very carefully.
