Yu Hongchen

Xie Liuchen was convinced that he was going to Fenglinchuan when he was dragged all the way to the mountain behind Qiushuimen by Shang Lihang.He wondered: "Fenglinchuan is so far away, how can we go overnight?"

Shang Lixing said: "It's okay, we won't delay long when we come back that night." After saying that, he took out a few pieces of yellow talisman paper from his pocket, Xie Liuchen turned his head to look, and asked wonderingly: "Is this a teleportation talisman? Isn't this thing very Is it expensive? Why do you have so many?"

Shang Lixing laughed dumbfounded: "Have you forgotten that I claim to be a double-cultivator of talismans? Making a few teleportation talismans is nothing more than a matter of hand for me."

Xie Liuchen still looked at him puzzled: "Why did you suddenly go to Fenglinchuan?"

Shang Lixing blinked at him, threw the jade in his hand, and said: "Because your senior sister left you a good thing!" Without further words, he held his hand tightly, lit the talisman paper, and blinked. In the blink of an eye, the two of them had reached Fenglinchuan.

At this time, the night was already deep, and there was no sound on Fenglin River, and it was quiet, only a few sparks were left shining on the sea, shining brightly.

Holding jade in his hand, Shang Lixing led him all the way to the peach blossom forest. He saw the river winding under the tree, and the flowers faded.

Things are different and people are different, and it would be a loss to go back any further.Shang Lixing let go of his hand, took a step forward, lowered his head slightly, and raised his hand to brush off the dust on the stele. Xie Liuchen watched his movements quietly, and heard his slightly nostalgic voice faintly sounded: "One day 300 years ago , I traveled to Fenglinchuan, and came here under the peach blossom forest. It was like this night at that time. Under the tree sat a young man with disheveled hair and handsome features. He sat on the ground with a black sheet in front of him. A sandalwood chessboard, with one black and one white pieces scattered on the board, I don’t know what I was saying. I got curious, stepped forward and asked him what he was doing, and he said he was looking at the stars.”

Xie Liuchen said: "You can look at the stars even if you lower your head? This person is very strange. Who is he?"

Shang Lixing sighed softly, and said: "This person is Wu Nian, that was the first time I met him. He is the first disciple of Tianyan Sect endowed with supernatural powers, he is good at deducing the mysteries of heaven, and his deeds are a little crazy I guessed his identity when I heard him comparing playing with a chessboard to observing star trails. I asked him how many stars there were, and he said that there were as many peach blossoms on the ground as there were stars in the sky. I then asked him what he saw , he said, he saw everything, but he seemed to see nothing. I asked him again, what if he saw it, so what if he couldn’t see it?”

Xie Liuchen was very interested after listening to this chattering conversation, and asked, "Then how did he answer you?"

Shang Lixing paused, as if recalling the conversation that night, he laughed and said, "He didn't answer right away, probably because he thought I was too noisy."

Xie Liuchen couldn't help laughing, thinking: "It turns out that he has been so long-winded since a long time ago, um, no wonder there are so many sworn brothers, it must be because he is too familiar."

Shang Lixing straightened up and said: "I saw him sitting by the chessboard, his body was covered with peach petals, and some of them were withered. It seemed that he had been sitting under the tree for a long time. I wanted to make friends with him, so I said: 'I know. It’s not going to change anything, it’s better not to know.’ And after he heard it—guess what?”

Xie Liuchen couldn't figure it out, so he simply shook his head.

Shang Lixing chuckled and said: "In the end he stood up and smashed the chessboard."

Xie Liuchen blinked: "Why?"

Shang Lixing turned around, looked at him with a smile and said, "Because what I said makes sense."

"What's the point of this?" Xie Liuchen knew that this person was deliberately joking again, so he snorted, deliberately not answering his words.

Shang Lixing said again: "This is the first time we met. We talked all night under the peach blossom grove, and he probably opened up his knot and became talkative. The next day, Feng Guiyun came After that, He Suowu, Ji Qing and Jirou... also came to Fenglinchuan one after another. The nine of us met each other so late that we simply carved a stone tablet under the peach forest and became Jinlan. I only found out later that this A young man who is not much older than Qi Huan has a Taoist companion who has been with him for more than ten years, and he is also a pharmacist of the Yaozu."

"Master Nan Xing..." Xie Liuchen muttered the name, "Do you know him?"

Shang Lixing said: "I've met a few times, but I'm not very familiar with him. Nan Xing's temperament is a bit cold, and he has no friendship with the other eight sons of us. After the demon clan closed the passage to the world, he disappeared for several years. When the demon clan attacked Nanxing When I was in the mountains, he suddenly appeared at Qiushuimen and said a few words to me, but he disappeared again after that."

Xie Liuchen looked at the dark stone tablet and said, "Back then, Nan Xing and Wu Nian, why did they break up? Why did Feng Guiyun temporarily rebel?"

Shang Lixing caressed the stone tablet, and sighed from a distance: "There are many things in this world that the prime minister knows but presses the sword. Even if they are as close as Taoist couples, suspicion, resentment, and confrontation are inevitable. As time goes on, Become a bitter couple one by one, when you meet many people and many things in the future, you will understand."

Xie Liuchen was deeply moved when he heard his speech, and his tone was more free and easy, so he couldn't help being stunned: "Senior Brother Shang..."

Shang Lihang slightly lowered his head: "Huh?"

Xie Liuchen asked: "If Feng Guiyun comes back in the future, will you forgive him?"

"Why forgive or not?" Shang Lixing lowered his head and narrowed his eyes, his voice became hoarse, "He's sorry, it was never me, and I have no right to make choices for Wu Nian."

Xie Liuchen let out an oh, and stopped talking, the island became quiet for a while, only the sound of rolling waves could be heard in his ears.

The two of them stood here for most of the night, and in the second half of the night, there was no wind and a thick fog rose up. In the dimness, they could only hear a clear and clear phoenix cry from the depths of the peach forest.Xie Liuchen was startled, and hurriedly tugged at Shang Lixing's sleeve: "Senior Brother Shang."

Shang Lixing also heard the sound of Fengming, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, that's why we came here today."

Xie Liuchen also replied with a small voice: "What do you mean?"

Shang Lixing said: "The divine beast Phoenix, the suzerain of the Tianyan sect endowed with supernatural powers, and the master of the Ziyuan realm here, these three are old acquaintances, their cultivation is as high as the sky, and they all have the ability to spy on the secrets of heaven. It can be seen what kind of token it is. Your senior sister inherited the inheritance of Ziyuan Secret Realm, and leaving you this thing must have a deep meaning. I think this may help us answer some of our doubts."

While speaking, the voice of Fengming gradually subsided, and a pale-haired old man walked slowly from the depths of the peach forest, emitting a soft white light all over his body.

Shang Lixing bowed neither humble nor overbearing: "I have met you, senior." Xie Liuchen also hurriedly cupped his hands.

The old man was clearly several feet in front of him, but his voice seemed to come from far away: "My name is Kunshan old slave, and my master is the master of this Purple Abyss realm. What is the purpose of you coming here late at night?"

Shang Lixing handed over the piece of jade: "The junior has doubts in his heart and has been sleepless for a long time, so he came late at night to bother, please senior give the junior some advice."

The old slave in Kunshan ignored it, took a look at the jade, and said to himself: "Since you can get this piece of Fenglin jade, you are destined. Whatever you want, I will do whatever I can. Yes, help you achieve your wish."

Xie Liuchen muttered, "What a big tone, what can you do for us?"

The old slave in Kunshan said: "Longevity? Or cultivation? My lord still has one inheritance, and another. If you want it, I will go to Central Continent to get it for you."

Shang Lixing shook his head: "The juniors don't want to live forever, nor do they want to inherit."

The Kunshan old slave said indifferently: "Then what do you want?"

Shang Lixing clasped his hands and said, "This junior just wants an answer. This turmoil that has lasted for 300 years, where did it all come from?" He pulled Xie Liuchen's robe again: "Junior brother Xie, what about you?"

Xie Liuchen hurriedly replied, "Me too."

The old slave in Kunshan said: "Are you sure? There is only one chance?"

Shang Lixing said: "Definitely."

The Kunshan old slave glanced at the two of them slightly, and said expressionlessly: "Forget it, you come with me." Fu turned and walked into the peach forest, and disappeared in an instant.

"Brother Shang, do we really want to go with him?" Xie Liuchen looked at Shang Lihang suspiciously, "What if he is a bad person?"

Shang Lihang led him forward, and said: "Those three people who can spy on the secrets of the sky have already become immortals and left. This person is the servant of the master of the Ziyuan realm, and he has inherited some skills. Don't worry, he won't What will happen to us."

The two followed the Kunshan old slave all the way into the peach blossom forest, the night was deep, reflecting the peach forest, it was very mesmerizing.On the way, Shang Lixing asked the old man: "Senior just asked about longevity and cultivation base, is it true that if junior wants to seek longevity, senior will give it as he wishes?"

The old man said: "Naturally. My lord is a man of true temperament. He has always disregarded that all beings are troubled by birth, old age, sickness and death. The old slave obeys his will and answers all requests."

Shang Lixing nodded slightly: "I see."

Seeing his calm expression, the Kunshan old slave sneered back: "Why? Look down on those who only think of themselves?"

Shang Lixing shivered slightly, and said: "The younger generation has never had such thoughts. Whether it is to seek the longevity of oneself or the happiness of all living beings, it is a personal wish. Everyone has their own aspirations, and we have never been able to force them."

The Kunshan old slave originally had a stern face, but he couldn't help being moved when he heard the words: "You are an interesting young man."
