Yu Hongchen

He found himself walking on a very long, very long mountain path, which was very narrow and steep, and he had to stick to the rock wall step by step.Under the moonlight, a vague figure led the way not far or near.He raised his eyes to look at this person, vaguely felt that he had seen him somewhere before, and immediately shouted: "Master, wait for me! You wait for me!"

"Huh?" After he blurted out, he couldn't help wondering, "Why do I call him Shizun? Who is this person?"

The man heard his voice, but he didn't turn his head back, and he didn't stop. Instead, he walked faster, galloping like the wind, and threw him far away in an instant.

Firstly, he was afraid of being left behind, and secondly, he felt strange and afraid of the steepness, so he shouted more urgently: "Master, Master!" At the same time, he hurried to catch up.

After chasing dozens of steps, I found that my limbs suddenly became slender, and I caught up with the person in front of me without any effort, and then secretly said "Hey": "Strange, am I not a six-year-old child? Become an adult?"

He chased all the way, staring closely at the figure of that person: "Master, where are you going?"

The man never looked back, he was leading the way in front of him, his figure was erratic, like falling into a deep dream.The mountain road is deep and quiet, as if immersed in eternal night.When he finally climbed to the top of the peak, just as the morning light first appeared, he lay on the cliff panting for breath, only to see the person in front of him standing against the light, and his crooked back appeared under the sunlight.

Under the sunlight, the back figure gradually became transparent, like thousands of colorful butterflies flying against the wind.

He exclaimed: "Master, what's wrong with you?"

Suddenly, the chaotic dreamland shone into the light and shadow of the present world, and the last memories before coma poured in one by one, he couldn't help crying, he understood everything.

Until the moment of dissipating, Master Xuan Si never looked back, but waved to him if there was no way: "Go back, child."

He knelt down in the morning light, tears streaming down his face: "Master, have a good journey."

……

His consciousness was drowsy, and he was about to wake up. Before he opened his eyes, he heard voices belonging to young people clamoring in his ears: "Uncle Xie is awake!"

"Ah, really, that's great!"

"Quick, go and tell the head!"

He pressed his painfully distended head, opened his eyes, and met a pair of concerned eyes.And I was in a strange room.

"Thank you, junior brother, you're finally awake." Xiang Wanning hurried over with a smile all over her face.

Xie Liuchen hurriedly sat up straight, grabbed her sleeve, and shouted anxiously, "Senior Brother Shang! Where's Senior Brother Shang?"

Xiang Wanning pressed the back of his hand soothingly, and said softly, "Are you looking for Senior Brother Shang? He is discussing matters with the elders at Xuanhe Peak, discussing matters after the war." Then he pursed his lips and smiled, "He I kept watch for three days and three nights without seeing you open your eyes, and I didn't expect you to wake up as soon as you left."

Xie Liuchen looked worried and puzzled, and kept asking: "He, is he okay? Is his injury okay?"

Xiang Wanning said: "It's okay, it's okay, don't worry." Sensing that he didn't like the curious and probing eyes of the disciples around him, he smiled slightly: "Everyone, let's disperse, don't disturb his rest." After driving all the disciples out one by one, He said to Xie Liuchen: "You can rest here for a while, and I will come to see you when Senior Brother Shang finishes discussing things."

Xie Liuchen asked, "When will Senior Brother Shang finish the discussion?"

Xiang Wanning smiled and said, "Soon, don't worry, let's rest first. Although your injury has healed, you still need to rest for a while."

Xie Liuchen let out a "hmm".After Xiang Wanning and the others left, he lay down slowly to soothe his chaotic and painful head.It's just that he didn't see Shang Lixing after waking up, and he still felt a little indescribably disappointed.Lie down with mixed feelings for a while, opened the door and stepped out of the house, and heard the rustling of bamboos behind the house, Fang realized that this was the Leiluo Peak of Yunshan Sword Sect, and did not know when a new house was rebuilt.

In the early morning, there was no one on the mountain and below, and it was extremely desolate.He squatted in front of the house for a while, and couldn't help thinking: "I miss Senior Brother Shang so much." Then he thought: "How did Senior Brother Shang deal with things for so long? Should I go to him?"

With his thoughts settled, he went down Leiluo Peak alone and headed towards Xuanhe Peak. He didn't see a single disciple on the way. He stopped and stopped all the way, but for some reason, instead of reaching Xuanhe Peak, he came to Houshan , I saw the holy land of sword practice in those days - "Guan Canghai".

I vaguely recall the experience of practicing sword here when I was a teenager, it really seems like a lifetime away.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but draw out the Xiuming sword and practice the sword on "Guan Canghai".Although he told Wan Ning that his injury had not recovered and it was not suitable to do anything, but when he came back to the old place at this time, his hands were really itchy.Hearing the sound of the surging river tide, his movements were unsteady, and he practiced every move and every move of the "Canghai Sword Art" that he learned when he was young.

Years turn and the world is turbulent. Since he went down the mountain, he has experienced many things in the world. Looking back now, he finds that things are different, white clouds and dogs, only this huge rock in the sea will stand forever and last forever.

He didn't understand the mystery of the "Canghai Sword Art" until now.

When he was practicing sword until his body was hot, he heard two footsteps, he stopped his sword posture, looked back, and saw Shang Lixing and He Qi walking towards this place.

The two laughed at Yan Yan, walked to the side of the "Guan Canghai" boulder, stopped, saw He Qi stuffing a ball of something into his arms, and said with a smile: "Then He Qi will go first, brother Shang explained He Qi will definitely do his best to help Senior Brother Shang do it."

Shang Lixing cupped his hands and saluted: "Thank you, if this matter can be done, Shang will forever owe his brother a kindness."

He Qi smiled and said, "Senior Brother Shang, you are being polite." He waved to Xie Liuchen, "Junior Brother Xie, I'm leaving first."

Xie Liuchen stood on the boulder and waved: "Senior Brother He, go slowly."

The two watched He Qi leave, turned to look at each other, Xie Liuchen put his sword back into its sheath, saw that he had recovered to a head of jet-black long hair, and knew that his injuries had healed, so he casually asked, "Are you healed?"

Shang Lixing looked up at him: "Well, it's done."

Xie Liuchen asked again: "Have you dealt with everything?"

Shang Lihang smiled and nodded: "It's over. I heard you woke up, so I'll take you back to Qiushuimen together."

Xie Liuchen got an affirmative answer, and still looked at him calmly.Shang Lixing smiled and said, "Can we go home now?"

Xie Liuchen raised his head: "Well, go home."

He said he was going home, but his feet were nailed to the boulder, and he didn't intend to move.

Shang Lixing couldn't understand his thoughts, shook his head and smiled, and stretched out his hand to him: "Okay, I kept you waiting for a long time, come down, I'll hug you."

Only then did Xie Liuchen loosen his expression, and stretched out his hand to hold him. While being held by him, he jumped off the boulder and threw himself into his arms like a bird. Shang Lixing hugged him fully, smiled, Just as he was about to stretch out his other hand to caress his hair, Xie Liuchen in his arms suddenly snorted coldly, as if remembering something, pushed him away: "I haven't forgiven you yet." Angrily, he rushed to a nearby place Sit down on the rock with your back facing him.

Shang Lixing's outstretched hand paused in the air, stunned, and said: "Okay, then you stay at Yunshan Sword Sect first, and then go back when you have figured it out, Qiushuimen still has something to do, Brother Shang has to go first It's gone." As he said, he turned and left.

Xie Liuchen was shocked when he saw that he didn't put on the trap, but he couldn't bear to beg, so he jumped up from the stone and walked to the other side of the mountain road arrogantly.

Shang Lixing stopped and looked at him with interest.

Xie Liuchen raised his chin high: "What are you looking at? If you can walk this road, so can I!" As he spoke, he swaggered and stood on both sides of the mountain road, facing each other from a distance.

Shang Lixing was like a mirror in his heart, this guy was obviously still thinking about sending him back to Xiya Mountain that day, and wanted to coax him by himself, but Shang Lixing didn't like him, he secretly laughed in his heart, without looking back, Stride down the hill.

Xie Liuchen finally couldn't bear it anymore, stared at his figure behind him, stamped his feet and shouted angrily: "Senior Brother Shang!"

Shang Lihang stopped as soon as he saw a deal, and stopped.Xie Liuchen ran over, took his hand, and whispered in his ear: "Okay, okay, I'm not angry with you a long time ago. I just pretended."

Shang Lixing couldn't help but smile in his heart, his face was still as if nothing had happened, he nodded lightly, Xie Liuchen saw that it was so rare that he finally took the initiative to ask for favors, but the other party still looked lukewarm, he couldn't help but feel discouraged and dissatisfied, his heart was seven Up and down, Xiangxi walked to the foot of the mountain, and couldn't help asking: "What did you say to He Qi just now? You talked and laughed, and you even gave him something."

Shang Lixing said, "You guess?"

Xie Liuchen frowned and thought for a moment: "Could it be?" He blinked, "It's related to me?"

Shang Lixing nodded: "You've become smarter."

Xie Liuchen was even more surprised: "It really has something to do with me, could it be—Qi Huan?"

This was just a random guess, but Shang Lixing nodded: "Yes, Junior Brother He is a person from another world, and he can travel to other dimensions at will. I want to entrust him to take Qi Huan's soul to other worlds to find the way to reshape his body." Fa." He smiled and said to him, "In this way, will you feel less guilty in your heart?"

Xie Liuchen was both surprised and delighted: "Really?" The dissatisfaction just now had been thrown away, and he looked at the person in front of him with bright eyes, and said excitedly, "Senior Brother Shang, I love you so much!"

Shang Lixing glanced at him reproachfully: "You're really not angry with me anymore?"

Xie Liuchen shook his head violently: "No more, no more, you are so kind to me, how can I be angry with you? I will treat you even more in the future."

Shang Lixing raised his eyebrows and said, "Then go home?"

"Well, let's go home, we'll go home now." He excitedly dragged Shang Lixing, and walked to the foot of the mountain.There was a smile on his face, and he didn't look like he was being awkward and ruthless just now. Shang Lixing knew his child's temperament best, and he knew it well.

Passing through the dense forest, I heard the continuous sound of kneeling and praying from the foot of the mountain. Xie Liuchen pushed aside the dense forest, and saw a group of mortals prostrating at the foot of Yunshan Mountain. A mortal who cultivates his way."

Shang Lixing shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, it's not something I can get, and I can't force it after all."

Xie Liuchen was puzzled and said, "Worship every day, every month, is it really useful?"

Shang Lixing smiled helplessly, and said: "Who knows, life is short, once you step into the avenue of cultivation, you are fighting for your life with the heavens, everyone has desires, if there is a chance to live forever, who would like to just do it?" A mortal who lives and dies? Perhaps, among this group of people, there is the next Fu Changning."

"Ah?" Xie Liuchen was stunned, "Then what should we do? Let's make a detour to prevent them from seeing us?"

Shang Lixing is optional, let him nervously pull his sleeves and walk to another mountain road.Walking through the lush forest, came to another mountain path, and finally avoided the group of mortals, Xie Liuchen heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "There may be countless Fu Changnings in this world, but there will always be only one Senior Brother Shang."

Shang Lixing pinched his face: "You can flatter me if you are a poor mouth."

Xie Liuchen said suddenly: "Senior Brother Shang, Master Nan Xing is actually very lucky."

"How to say?"

"At least when he was alive, he still thought that he reversed the destiny and changed the secret, and he didn't know that this disaster was caused by himself."

Shang Lixing said with a smile: "Yes, the dead are always luckier than the living, at least they don't have to deal with all kinds of karma later. After death, everything is settled."

Back at Qiushuimen, all the casual repairmen were carrying out the repair work in an orderly manner, their faces brimming with joy.Seeing the two of them returning, they all greeted each other.

Now that the battle has been decided, Qiushuimen is full of waste, and the scattered cultivators are full of interest. They don't use zhenqi to carry wood and stones, but use their palms and legs instead. It seems that they are no different from ordinary people who work in the world. strange.Xie Liuchen asked questions curiously, and everyone said that rebuilding their homes would only be meaningful if they had to do it themselves.

After listening to it for a while, Xie Liuchen sighed: "Whether it is a fairy or an ordinary person, you must live a down-to-earth life. If you spend your whole life pursuing illusory things, you will only fall into the devil. The meaning of life is not in the length of life, but in how to spend it." Pass."

Shang Lixing smiled and nodded: "Yes."

When I came to the front hall, I saw Cui Mingruo sitting on the seat. When I saw the two of them coming back, I immediately greeted them and said with a smile: "Master, you are finally back."

Seeing her alone, Shang Lixing asked, "How did you realize it? Where is Bai Xuan?"

Cui Mingruo said with a smile: "They stayed in Xiya Mountain."

Xie Liuchen was surprised and said: "Could it be that the monster clan detained them?" He panicked, thinking that he and Yuan Sang violated the cooperation between Shanglihang and Xiya Mountain and fled back privately, countless terrifying thoughts flashed in an instant.

Cui Mingruo denied, "No, it was Bai Xuan who gave birth to a daughter at Xushi yesterday, and He Suowu is staying with her at Xiya Mountain."

"Really?" Xie Liuchen turned surprise into joy in an instant: "That's great!"

Cui Mingruo nodded and said, "I came back this time not only to tell you the good news, but also to say goodbye to you."

Shang Lixing was not surprised, and said "um" indifferently, but Xie Liuchen asked with great concern: "Where is Sister Cui going?"

Cui Mingruo said with a smile: "From Beilu to Nanling, I have been going around for hundreds of years, and my whereabouts are uncertain. Every time I go back to Qiushuimen, I will leave after staying for a few days. It can be seen that people like me, after all It's still suitable for walking outside, now that the devil has been executed, you don't have to worry about my safety."

"But," Xie Liuchen was still a little worried, and frowned, "Sister Cui, you have to be careful. Zhong Lian has always been thinking about avenging his father, and he will definitely keep an eye on your whereabouts."

Cui Mingruo was amused by him, and felt extremely relieved: "Okay, sister, I have been around for many years, and I won't even have this little way to deal with it. Don't worry." Turning his head, he said to Shang Lixing: "Master, I'm going first .”

Shang Lixing nodded and said: "Well, take care, whenever you want to go back to Qiushuimen, you can come back at any time."

Cui Mingruo smiled and said: "Okay." After a pause, he said, "If Palace Master Meng comes to see me again, please ask the sect master to treat her well for me. Tell her that the journey of cultivation is long, and there will always be a day when we will meet again. "

Shang Lixing agreed: "Okay."

Cui Mingruo talked to the two of them for a few more words, took his leave and left.After sending her away, Xie Liuchen hugged Shang Lixing violently, rubbing against his arms: "Senior brother Shang, I have an apprentice! I'm going to be a master!"

Shang Lixing couldn't laugh or cry: "Yeah, I know."

Xie Liuchen couldn't bear his excitement, and suggested: "Brother Shang, shall we go to Xiya Mountain now? I can't wait to see Sister Bai's daughter." He has never had any affection for Xiya Mountain, but he is eager The joy of wanting to see Bai Xuan's daughter dilutes this birthright, and then recalls the matter of being released by Yuan Sang that day. Save him, okay?"

Shang Lixing had already lost his temper by him: "Okay, okay, I'll go with you when I finish dealing with the matter at hand." He smiled and nodded his nose, "I'm going to be a master, can you be more careful?" ?”

"Why am I not steady?" Xie Liuchen squinted at him, "I am steady in front of Danwu, that's the only way I am in front of you." He deliberately annoyed, "Don't you just like me like this?"

Shang Lixing said casually: "I like it, of course I like it." Talking with him, he came to the study.

Xie Liuchen let him take him by the hand, his joy was still not calmed down, and he couldn't help thinking on the way: "Sister Bai and He Suowu's daughter must be very beautiful, and she must be a swordsman in the future," he sighed, sniffling, "If only I had kids."

Shang Lixing said with a smile, "You want to have a baby?"

Xie Liuchen was unhappy: "Why didn't you give birth?"

Shang Lixing said with a smile: "I can live, it depends on whether you have the ability."

Xie Liuchen snorted and said with a smile: "I don't want it, what does it look like?"

The two were immersed in the joy of welcoming a new life, and they spoke more and more vividly. Xie Liuchen sighed again while talking: "I never thought that I would have my own apprentice one day. This feeling is really amazing."

Shang Lixing said: "Yes, your two masters have knowledge underground, and they must be proud of you."

Xie Liuchen recalled that unpleasant dream in the morning, and suddenly became depressed, leaning against his chest, said in a muffled voice, "Senior Brother Shang, I dreamed about my master."

"En." Shang Lixing felt his slightly trembling body and hugged him tightly.

Xie Liuchen said: "Although he doesn't have much teacher-student relationship, he really loves me like an apprentice. I can't bear his death, so I want to erect a tombstone for him."

Shang Lixing said: "I understand, let's go to Xiya Mountain in a while, and go to the back mountain to find a suitable geomantic treasure land, and place his bones, okay?"

Xie Liuchen nodded and said: "Okay." Wiping away the moisture from the corners of his eyes, he stretched out his arms and snuggled up to him.

After finishing all the affairs of Qiushui Gate, Shang Lixing explained that he would leave for a few days, handed over the matters in the gate to the casual cultivators, and brought the impatient Xie Liuchen to Houshan, intending to set off from Xiya Mountain.

The two of them intertwined their fingers, they talked and walked to the back mountain forest, and heard someone laughing loudly, the voice was very familiar, Xie Liuchen suddenly closed his mouth, took a few steps closer, and saw a smear of blue not far away through the gaps in the green leaves The corner of the clothes, said in surprise: "It's Master Qu Shaoge..."

Shang Lixing said clearly: "He is with Ji Qing brothers and sisters, it looks like he is drunk again."

Xie Liuchen asked in amazement, "How did he become like this?"

Shang Lixing had heard about the Tianyi Pavilion a long time ago, so he wasn't too surprised to see Qu Kongqing appearing here. He stood there quietly, with various expressions flashing across his face, and finally he sighed: "That's all, Don't disturb them, let's avoid it."

Xie Liuchen nodded, walked around the tombstone hand in hand with him, walked hundreds of steps, couldn't help but look back, saw Qu Kongqing lying in front of Ji Qing and Ji Rou's tombs, drunk as a puddle of mud, chanting continuously.The two walked and listened, only to hear the people behind them seem to be laughing wildly, and also seemed to be sobbing, singing: "Life is like a gift for a hundred years, and I am happy, and I drink a thousand bells in one go. A few soul dreams, a handful of loess, a big dream floats on me Walking alone..."

The voice was desolate and sad, and it seemed to carry countless sad memories, which spread far away. The two seemed to have a feeling. When they looked up, they saw the blue sky of Sihai Sea, the wind and smoke were all quiet, and the waves were dormant, as if they had fallen into the eternal peace. middle.
