fairy dust

The next day, dawn.

The grief that had been suppressed for several days broke out before the cock crowed in the morning, and the sad and depressed atmosphere ruthlessly ravaged this small village.The people of Luo village who lost their loved ones mourned collectively on this day for the family members who would never see each other again.

There was a long queue on the mountain road leading to the ancestral grave, and the white spirit streamers trembled slightly in the morning breeze. People were crying or crying, and they didn't even have time to pick off the paper money that fell on them in the flying.

At the end of the twelve coffins was a thin coffin, which was carried by four men with serious expressions. They broke away from the team at a fork in the mountain road.

Along the way, female Taoist Chu walked silently.After getting off the fork, Luo Honglin, the middle-aged man carrying the coffin, said to her, "Little Master, you will lead the way from now on."

"Hmm..." The first day of the junior high school answered, leading the little gray-brown donkey around to the coffin.This little donkey was originally Lingxizi's mount, which was convenient for carrying loads in the rivers and lakes, and now it naturally returned to the first day of junior high school.

On the little gray donkey's back were two bundled girdles, one side contained enough food for three or four days, and the other side contained Lingxizi's relics.She hadn't opened the package on the first day of the lunar new year, so she wanted to wait until she arrived at the tomb, so she buried those relics with her master.

A group of five people marched in the mountains for another half an hour, and finally arrived at the tomb site chosen for Lingxizi on the first day of the previous day.

Even though the sun had risen completely and the weather was sunny and comfortable, on the first day of junior high school, I still felt that the newly dug pit was like a secluded cave waiting to devour Master's remains, and it exuded a suffocating fear.

"It's here. The four folks have worked hard. This is my heart." Said Chuyi, taking out a tael of silver from his purse to express his gratitude.

The four thought that Lingxizi had sacrificed his life for their village because of the water demon, so they refused to accept it.On the first day of the junior high school, they felt guilty and insisted on giving it, so the four people declined and accepted it.

Luo Honglin put the silver in his waist, took out a small hammer and long nails, and said to Chu Yi: "If the little master doesn't have any explanation, I will seal the coffin and bury the master later."

Hearing this, the first day of the lunar new year stepped forward to take off the package from the little gray donkey, turned around and said, "Uncle Luo, please wait a moment, here are some items that Master uses daily, I want to put them in the coffin and bury them with Master. "

"Little master, please go ahead." The four of them retreated to one side.

On the first day of the lunar new year, carrying the package, he approached the coffin.Looking at the pitch-black wooden coffin, I couldn't restrain the urge to cry.After all, she can't hate Lingxizi, even if Lingxizi really did those unforgivable things, the mentoring friendship between her and Lingxizi is still vivid all these years.

[If there is no master, I probably would have died in that disaster...]

Thinking of this, Chu Yi raised his eyebrows vigorously, held back the tears that were about to fall, and after taking a deep breath, raised his hand and pushed open the coffin lid.

In the coffin, Lingxizi was still wearing his usual Taoist robe.It's just that he died because the water demon sucked all the blood in his body and refined it into a human pill, so the remains became very terrifying.

Originally in his fifties, Ling Xizi, who had a burly body, now looks as thin as a stick, as if all his energy has been consumed by a serious illness, with only withered skin and flesh covering his bones, he looks like an old man in his dying years.

On the first day of junior high school, she could hardly bear to look at it any longer. She took out a heavy object from the package, and prepared to put it in Lingxizi's hand hugging her chest, and said: "Master, this is your compass."

When she put down the compass, she touched a few papery pages on Lingxizi's Taoist robe.Chu subconsciously took out the papers and inspected them. It turned out to be a torn book.After flipping through it roughly, I saw that many ink marks on the fragmented scroll had been blurred and blurred.Chuyi thought, this should be caused by getting wet from the rain when fighting with the water demon a few days ago.

Thinking of the scene of Master's death a few days ago, I couldn't help feeling tense in my heart on the first day of the lunar new year, and felt sad from it.She took a deep breath again, forcibly calmed down, carefully distinguished the handwriting, and finally could vaguely see Yeyou, Immortal Demon, Gods, Yuyao and other unclear words in the dry place in the middle of the broken page.

"Could this be..."

If you only look at words such as immortals, gods, etc., you will probably regard this remnant scroll as an ordinary Taoism classic, but the word "Yao Yao" is written in it, which makes her have to think of Ling Feiyan. Accused of the crimes of Ling Xizi.She even suspected that this half of the fragmented volume was the half of "The True Chapter of Yuyaoshu" that Ling Feiyan said that the master had brought Litian Yuzong privately.

On the first day of junior high school, the hand holding the fragments hesitated. The fragments were wet and blurred by the rain, and they could no longer be distinguished.She didn't know whether she should take it back to Tianyuzong and return it to Zhao, or let it sleep with the master forever.

"Little master." Luo Honglin saw that the first day of the junior high school was full of hesitation, holding a few crumpled pages in a daze for a long time, he looked up at the sun, and kindly reminded: "I think it's better to bury the teacher quickly. It's almost noon, and there will be too much yang energy at that time, I'm afraid it will be bad for your father."

"Yes, yes... Uncle is right." Hearing this, the first day of the junior high school came to his senses, and he quickly picked up the package again, and put all the other items that Lingxizi used to use in the coffin.

After putting everything away, Chu got up together.But those fragments of scrolls were not put in, they were crumpled in her hands.She thought, if this is really the half of "The True Chapter of Yuyaoshu" lost by Tian Yuzong, even if it is too blurred to read, it should be brought back to the original owner, even if it is for the inappropriate things that the master did before. an explanation.

But it is really the authorities who are fascinated, and the bystanders are clear.Although Luo Honglin who has been waiting by the side has no idea why the first day of junior high school is so entangled with this half of the broken classics, but he gave her a good answer from another angle: "Little master wants to keep a memory by his side, right? How about Just take that book."

"Nianxiang..." Thinking about it in the first day of junior high school is also true, it is better to just leave it like this.After arriving at Tianyuzong in a few days, let their people check it out. If it is "The True Chapter of Yuyaoshu", they will return it.If not, take it as a reminder of Master.

After making up her mind, she said apologetically, "Then trouble Uncle Lauro and the others, and help me bury Master."

The sound of hammers hitting iron nails startled the birds in the forest, and a few inches of loess blocked the two worlds.At the end of the winding path downhill, the figures of the four people seeing off gradually disappeared.On the first day of the new year, she prayed again and again in front of the new grave, and for a moment, she felt as if she was the only one in this vast world.

Fortunately, there is still a direction... right.

On the first day of the junior high school, he silently looked at the palm of his left hand, as if he was whispering to Ling Xizi, or talking to himself: "I'm going to the place where Master left..."

The little donkey brayed in time to wake up Chu Yi.She took a deep breath, got on the little donkey, and finally looked back at the small village at the bottom of the mountain, which seemed to be a world away from the past, and left slowly in the opposite direction to Luo Village, Qiheng Town, Dangzhou.

Heading northwest along the official road all the way, seeing the sunset again, I pinched my fingers on the little gray donkey to count the time.Counting from Ling Feiming's saying that there were still ten days left before Tian Yuzong's entrance trial ceremony, it took two days to bury the master, and three days on the road. Five days have passed.

She frowned, patted the little donkey lightly, and said, "The two immortals riding tall horses must have arrived at Tian Yuzong by now. You have been walking for so long, anyway, there is still enough time, so tonight Let you have a good rest. Tomorrow will start, but let me run fast."

Before the words were finished, five or six horses came galloping behind the first day of junior high school.

The person on the horse seemed to have seen her from a distance, but he didn't have the slightest intention to slow down. He just yelled loudly: "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!!".

Seeing this on the first day of the junior high school, he quickly jumped off the donkey, and led it to the side of the road.A few fast horses flew by her side like arrows, raising a cloud of dust.On the first day of the lunar new year, he raised his robe sleeve to cover his mouth and nose, and stared at the person on horseback.

This group of people has the bravery of the Northland, but they are not like people from the rivers and lakes.Running in the front was a burly man with shining armor, very mighty.The people behind him are also men, also wearing commoner clothes and light armor, neatly wearing belts.

Before they had time to see anything clearly, those people were so far away that they could not be seen.On the first day of the new year, he rode back on the back of the little gray donkey resentfully, patted the little donkey and continued to set off.

This was not the first time she had seen this kind of formation today. The closer she got to the border of Xiling, the more and more hurried people appeared on the road.They may be in small groups, or single-handedly, there are Taoist priests wearing Taoist costumes, some look like ordinary people, some look like knights and swordsmen, and there are even some weird-looking outsiders.

Although these people are different, their purpose is the same, the same as that of the first day of junior high school: rush to the Tianyuzong in Zilu Mountain in Xiling, and participate in the entrance examination ceremony.

"It's really recruiting disciples from all over the world, everyone is here." The first day of the junior high school sighed, and patted the little gray donkey vigorously, and the little gray donkey started to run even harder.

The night came quickly, and when it was getting dark, I almost didn't see the word "Xiling" written on the roadside boundary marker.She breathed a sigh of relief, and hurried to finally enter the boundary of Xiling.

In this case, rest for one night tonight, set off tomorrow morning and run for another two days. On the morning of the eighth day, you will be able to arrive at Zilu Mountain where Tian Yuzong is located, which is two days earlier than the exam date.

Thinking of this, she happily urged the little donkey to run a few steps, and quickly found the state border station, so that she could have an early rest.

Although because of Master, she had never been to Xiling on the first day of the junior high school, but based on her experience of traveling with Master all the year round, she knew that there are often such small shops for pedestrians to take a rest on the state border.

As expected, soon, on the first day of the junior high school, I saw a brightly lit inn.She jumped off the donkey and walked closer, the closer she got, the more she heard the chatter and shouts from the inn.

This is absolutely certain, right now it is the time of Tian Yuzong's entrance examination, let alone this one inn, even if there are two or three inns, it will be full of people who come to take the examination.Looking at the "full room" sign, she nodded as a matter of course.But he still tied the little gray donkey to the door for the time being, and decided to go into the inn to try his luck, because both she and it really needed a rest.

Stepping into the hall of the inn, a little second came up to greet him immediately: "Hey, this..." The little second looked up and down the first day of junior high who was wearing a seven-star Taoist robe, and finally decided to address it more safely: "Guest officer, you are a sharpie. Or stay in a hotel?"

On the first day of the junior high school, he said: "I want to stay in a hotel."

When Xiaoer heard this, he wondered: "What a coincidence, guest officer, the shop is already full, and there are no more vacant rooms."

On the first day of the junior high school, he was not surprised, he just looked around the hall cautiously, and there were seven or eight small tables full of people.

Needless to say, there were all kinds of people, even the group of people who had galloped past her not long ago and almost hit her were also gathered around the table, eating food and drinking loudly.

One of them held up a full wine bowl and shouted: "Drink, drink! We must drink enough tonight! We will enter Tian Yuzong in the future, and we don't know if there is any wine left!"

I recognized this voice on the first day of the junior high school, it was the person who yelled "Get out of the way" just now.She subconsciously cast a disgusted look at the man, but she didn't want to meet the man's eyes.

I saw the man's thick eyebrows raised suddenly, and he yelled at her fiercely: "What are you looking at!"
