past words

Without the support of Yuwei's ray of soul, the original body of the poplar tree immediately turned into dust. It's a pity that it could have practiced Taoism, but it ended up like this in the end.

Xue Qing waved away the pinch of ashes with a gust of wind, carried them out of the gate of Yuxu Palace, and then released Qingxuan again.As a demon cultivator, things hurt his kind, so Qingxuan should not let Qingxuan see Yang Shu's final ending.

Before coming to Kunlun Mountain, Xue Qing did not expect that the second senior brother would leave from now on.After all, the spell of seizing the house takes 500 years, and it will take several decades before the poplar's body will collapse and be scrapped. He originally thought that Yuwei would last until the last moment.

But when he stepped into Yuxu Palace, he understood that Yuwei was putting all his eggs in one basket, and was going to use the lantern of Yuxu Palace to please him, and persuaded himself to go back with him.

Maybe 33 days away, what happened to his dojo?Otherwise, Xue Qing couldn't figure out why the second senior brother left so easily.Compared with his previous stalking, wouldn't it be a bit anticlimactic for him to leave now?He disappeared without a trace for a while, which surprised Xue Qing too.

I don't bother to figure out what happened to Yuwei, maybe Daozu urged him to go back, maybe something happened to his own family, nothing more than that.In short, he left, although Xue Qing felt a little regretful, but generally speaking, he was relieved.

Previously in Kunlun Mountain, because he didn't use any spells, he walked for several days and saw some scenes inside and outside the Kunlun fantasy. At this time, Xue Qing felt that no matter how wonderful this Kunlun Mountain is, the rare spiritual mountain in the world is not him. Yes, I've seen it, that's all.Moreover, the Kunlun disciples all hated the monster race. Although the Yuxu Palace can block the inside and outside, Qingxuan cannot be locked here forever.Even if Kunlun Mountain is suitable for cultivation, there is always a place in this world that is as suitable for cultivation as Kunlun Mountain.

So let's go... Xue Qing thought, lowered his head and looked at Qingxuan who was curiously looking around, and said, "It's getting late today, so let's stay here. How about we go back to Yunmengze early tomorrow morning?"

Qingxuan was staring at a white jade whisk inserted in a gilt vase that was half a person tall, and raised his head when he heard the words, and said: "Follow the master's order. I am also worried that there is no one guarding Bixuan's retreat, let's go back It’s just right to help each other.”

Xue Qing looked at the whisk, smiled, and said: "Okay...you like this whisk? If you like it, you can take it yourself...Second Brother, he...wouldn't care. Although this whisk is not the best Lingbao, after refining it, it will be a magic weapon that you can get your hands on in the future. I will find you something for self-defense in the future, even if you meet someone with a higher level of cultivation than you, you will have the power to fight."

After thinking for a while, he sighed again: "However, the world is much more peaceful now, and there are no more fights... It's good to be peaceful, but... too peaceful, people are lazy, and they don't practice so hard."

Qingxuan hurriedly said: "Master, don't worry, I will definitely practice hard and live up to my master's teachings. I... I am originally a legacy of the cat clan, and I am different from the little monsters beside me..."

Xue Qing smiled, a gust of wind rolled him up, hugged him again, and said: "I understand that you are putting your heart into it, it's just talking. Let's go, let's go to the back hall to have a look. It's been a year, but I haven't looked at that fairy apricot tree with its huagai pavilion."

In the early morning of the second day, the sun shines from east to west, covering most of the sky.Carrying through a white rainbow, this is the way of the sun, which can only be seen clearly in the world of immortals.

Xue Qing rode the clouds, and finally looked back at the roof tiles of the Yuxu Palace, sighed inaudibly, turned and left.

~~~~~~~

From Kunlun to the southeast, you can travel thousands of miles in an instant, and you can return to Yunmengze in just a moment.It's just that Xue Qing was standing above the clouds at this moment, and suddenly his interest faded.

At the beginning, it was just an excuse to say that she wanted to see Shen Xuan.Although she misses Shen Xuan a little bit, but it is not to the point where she has to look at Shen Xuan all the time to feel relieved.Anyway, Shen Xuan also has the ability to be a quasi-sage, so there is no need to worry about him.

In the past few days since leaving Changbai Mountain, he has experienced more things than he has experienced in the previous hundreds of years-well, he has been in retreat before, and nothing happened.It's just that in the past few days when I escaped from Yuwei and went out, I was Sun Houzi, a demon cultivator, a living dead man, and a demon in my heart, and now suddenly nothing happened, and I felt that it seemed a little dull.

Suddenly, he could understand why Shangqing always liked to run around the mountains.It's really boring to always practice in closed doors. Of course, the prerequisite is that even if you don't practice, there will be no danger.

Sighing, Xue Qing withdrew his childish thoughts, and then he suddenly realized that he seemed to have gone in the wrong direction just now.

With his speed, he should be able to see the vast Yunmeng Lake by now, but what appears in front of him now are only rolling hills and hills.

Looking forward, you can see a vast ocean in the distance, and you have reached the South China Sea.It seems that I really went the wrong way. I shouldn't be driving the clouds while distracted. Of course, I won't fall from the clouds, but it is also a trouble when I go to an unknown place.

After thinking about it, they all said to live with the situation, since they came here, it can be regarded as a kind of fate, so why not just take a look at what this place is.Xue Qing simply hid his figure and lowered the clouds on the top of the mountain.

There is an old mother's temple in the middle of the mountain, and there is a statue in it, which worships the incarnation of Bixia Yuanjun, the registered disciple of the Taishang Laojun.There was a portrait of Sanqing hanging on the wall at the back, and Xue Qing laughed at seeing it—in the human world, why is the Sanqing one?No matter whose ashram it is, as long as it is under the Sanqing sect, they will worship Sanqing together. Ordinary people seem to be unaware that the Sanqing Taoism is actually distinct.

After laughing and sighing slightly, Xue Qing walked around the old mother's temple, and saw a pink cloud-like flower forest at the foot of the mountain, with the wind moving, a sweet fragrance came towards him.

Is it also an apricot tree?Just this morning, I saw the fairy apricot blossoms in the back hall. Xue Qing smelled the smell, and it was very familiar.

Sending Qingxuan back to the lotus seeds, Xue Qing walked down the mountain path slowly, with rows of apricot trees on both sides, which just opened buds and haven't bloomed yet.There is a little fragrance on the foot of the slope, all of which are the fragrance of apricot blossoms.

The apricot grove was planted according to a formation method, Xue Qing walked into the forest, looked at it for a while, and realized that it seemed to be a formation method that had been lost since ancient times.It's a pity that these apricot trees are of different heights, and this formation is not complete, so it can only confuse people's eyes a little bit. If the mind is firm, or if you are familiar with the path, even that little bit of confusion will not exist.

It seems, is it to prevent the beasts on the mountain from entering the forest?This apricot grove was specially planted by someone, that's for sure, then this person deliberately planted the apricot grove in the shape of a formation, in order to... prevent the beasts from invading, and ensure the harvest?

It's impossible to think... Xue Qing raised his hand and folded a pink and white apricot flower, squeezed it between his fingers to play, and recalled where he had seen a formation similar to this formation.How did the person who planted these apricot trees learn such an ancient formation?

Could it be that there are monks from ancient times in the human world who lived in seclusion here?Then who is this person?

After bypassing the apricot forest, a small courtyard with green tiles and white walls stood in front of him, and a tall mulberry tree grew close to the courtyard wall. The mulberry tree was slightly skewed, but it was full of branches and leaves, covering most of the courtyard.

The elegant house, mulberry and bamboo, set off by the pink and white apricot forest, is really a good place to live.Xue Qing's mind moved slightly, and he felt that the person here seemed to be related to him, and it seemed that he should be someone he knew.

Recalling the old friends in my memory, I really didn't know who it would be.However, in this way, the wrong path today was actually caused by fate?Thinking about it, Xue Qing felt a sense of lightness in her heart, and walked around to the front of the manor.

Two varnished wooden doors, two shiny brass door knockers on the top, not a tiger's head but two gluttonous ones occluded on the top—isn't it an ordinary house?Xue Qing raised his hand, picked up the copper ring, bumped it lightly, and there was a "ding" sound, which spread far into the courtyard, and after a while, a child's voice shouted: "Come on!"

With a sound of "squeak", the door on the left was pushed open, and a boy with long hair poked his head out, glanced up and down at Xue Qing, and said, "Is this guest officer knocking on the door? My master is out to ask for a doctor." I'm not at home, guest officer, please come in first."

So this is a doctor's clinic?Xue Qing nodded and followed the boy into the door.

A green brick path leads to the middle hall after entering the door, the boy asked Xue Qing to sit in the hall, then said "excuse me", walked out of the door, and went to the backyard.Xue Qing glanced at it, knew that he was going back to dry the herbal medicine, and didn't think the boy was being rude, so he just sat in the hall with his eyes closed, waiting for the owner to return.

If he did some calculations, he would naturally be able to understand who taught him to feel something, but this would not be a surprise—or, even a shock would be good.Xue Qing unknowingly breathed out the exercise together, and then realized that although this small hill is not tall and unknown, it is also full of aura.Taking a closer look, there is still a spiritual vein passing through the ground.

Also, if it is an old knowledge, it must live in a place that is conducive to practice, with poor mountains and bad waters, except for those Western religions who practice asceticism in Toutuo with great ambitions, no one would want to live for a long time.

I don't know how long it took, Xue Qing heard a burst of eloquent singing from afar. It was Chen Siwang's "Dairy to Wine", the tune was long and free and easy.

After a while, the singing was approaching, Xue Qing slowly opened his eyes, and a person was stepping into the door.The man was dressed in a blue cloth long gown, with a scarf on his head, and he looked graceful, but he was holding a baby in his arms. He was originally a romantic person, but suddenly he became the father of the baby.

Xue Qing looked at this nondescript, and smiled, and then he was really surprised—these two people, whether it was the baby or the man, were actually known to him.

Since the man entered the door, Xue Qing heard the jingle of the bell.The man first shouted to the little boy to come in, carried the baby over, and then smiled at Xue Qing: "This guest officer has been waiting for a long time—hey, where did the bell ring? This Xinglin couldn't hear the mountainside before." The wind from Shanglaomo Temple blows bells."

He spoke with a southern accent, which was refreshing and soft, and his voice implied a kind of heart-pounding power.Xue Qing also smiled at him, and said: "Maybe it is... I can't hear it usually, but today the sound of the bell was blown by the wind."

The man smiled, and then said: "This guest officer is not someone I know well. I was quite conceited when I came to my clinic in person. I thought I came from a long way to seek medical advice. Now I see the guest officer. It doesn't seem to come here for medicine, but it seems to come here by accident—Guest officer, what's the scenery like in my ten-mile apricot forest?"

Xue Qing looked at the man's complacent appearance, sighed slightly in his heart, and said with a smile: "It's like a cloud, it's only here that you can't get this scene—it's rare that this gentleman puts his heart into it."

The man laughed loudly and said: "It is fate to meet each other. Come, let's rest at the house today. I ordered Tong'er to prepare spring bamboo shoots in season, and serve them with fine wine to feed the guests from afar."

After that, he went out and called Tong'er by name loudly.Just now the little boy turned around from behind again, Xue Qing carefully looked at the silk sash around the boy's waist, the color was different from before, so he secretly paid attention.

A moment later, another boy with the same appearance came from the backyard. It turned out that they were a pair of twins, but he was taken in here by this man—he is not afraid of people's words, or, with his reputation, he is not afraid of gossip?

(Bi's note: For a long time in ancient times, twins were considered unlucky. In fact, a person's soul was split in half, so in some places, one of the twins would be discarded, or killed directly, or even the twins would be separated. children are killed)

The man first gave a few words to the boy who came first, and then said to the boy who came later: "The child just now, has Zeng Ansheng fallen asleep? Take care of the child carefully, the child has not yet reached the full moon."

The little boy who came later responded, and said, "Where did you pick up this child, sir? It's a pity that he is so young, and he doesn't have any illnesses. He looks good, so why was he thrown away?"

The man said: "Who knows what it is for? I just pick it up, no matter why someone lost him. You go cook porridge and feed him, and this will be your junior brother in the future."

The little boy answered "Yes" again and asked, "Does the younger brother have a name?"

The man thought for a while, and said: "This child should still take my surname as usual, and also have the surname Dong like your brothers. As for the name... I don't believe in those foolish arguments, so naming him now will not hinder anything. It’s just that he needs a nickname, since he was called by his first name since he was a child, it’s just like the two of you, young and old, very boring.”

As he spoke, he took a few steps in the room and pondered: "That's it--today is the day when the old mother's temple on the mountainside was enshrined, so this child was named with the word 'Feng'. For the sake of future safety, the nickname Huo As Aping—what does the guest officer think?"
