484 Searching for the Dead (4)
To her disappointment, she didn't hear anything.
"Kids! Child! Shang Xiaoqing shouted a few more times into the gap in the middle of the scroll.
After shouting a few times, she turned her eyes to the gap in the middle of the scroll, and was surprised to see that the stone house had become extremely dark: "Hey, it's getting dark so soon?" ”
Shang Xiaoqing raised his head to look at the sky in his room, the time was still early, the time displayed on his mobile phone was two o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was shining outside.
"It turns out that the time on the other end is different from my side." Shang Xiaoqing said in his heart.
After waiting for a while, she noticed that the dark stone house seemed to be lit with a candle flame and a dim halo.
Shang Xiaoqing knew that there must be someone in this house, so he hurriedly shouted at the scroll: "Hey, child, are you back?" Child...... Kids......"
No response! Shang Xiaoqing saw someone moving in the stone house, but that person couldn't hear her at all, which made Shang Xiaoqing feel shocked again.
But she soon figured out that it was probably only the little boy who was talking to the other end of the scroll that could see the situation through the scroll, and that he should be the only one who could hear herself.
Shang Xiaoqing kept staring at the other end of the scroll, deciding that when the little boy appeared, she would seize the opportunity to call him, but she saw that the person living in this stone house was actually a Taoist priest wearing a blue robe.
The speed of time over there didn't seem to be the same as Shang Xiaoqing's here, she stared at that side for a full hour, and it turned from night to morning.
The Taoist priest didn't make a sound all night, but sat on the bed and sat down.
Opposite the scroll. When the sky was just dawning, Shang Xiaoqing finally heard the little boy's voice sound: "Master Qiqi, it's time to go to morning class." ”
Then Shang Xiaoqing saw a young man dressed as a boy push open the door and walked into the stone house. The young man's face was as white as jade. The sideburns are like a knife, the lips are better than Shi Zhu, and the end is extremely handsome.
The Taoist priest walked in front with his robe sleeves waved, while the young man hurriedly packed up the scroll and carried it on his shoulder.
Shang Xiaoqing found that the scenery in front of her was spinning, shaking, and constantly changing, and she guessed that the young man had carried the scroll on his shoulder.
"Hey, little boy......" Shang Xiaoqing called.
The boy turned his head slightly. Glancing at one of the many scrolls, and then at the Taoist priest walking in front, he saw that the Taoist priest did not notice that there was a voice behind him. A timid smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Little girl, is that you?" The teenager asked.
Shang Xiaoqing said unconvinced: "I'm not a little girl, I'm a few years older than you." ”
The boy "cut" and expressed disdain. Said: "I have been with my master for three hundred years. How old are you? ”
When Shang Xiaoqing heard this, he was a little confused, so he said: "I don't believe it, you look like you are twelve or thirteen years old." ”
The boy said: "That's because I have taken the longevity fruit, which prolongs the growth and aging time of the body. ”
The young man's words made Shang Xiaoqing all kinds of confused. It is said that in the pre-Qin period, there were many qi refiners who mastered the secret of immortality and immortality, and this scroll was a Warring States item. Then the era in which this boy lived must have been before the pre-Qin period.
Could it be that the boy and his master are the legendary Qi Refiners?
Shang Xiaoqing chatted with the young man through the scroll. may be because the two of them are still young, and they quickly chatted hotly.
She already knew that the young man's name was Wu Qi, and he was originally a flat-headed ordinary person in the Zhou Kingdom, but because of the continuous war, he became an orphan at the age of three, and was picked up by the master Guqu Dao Chang, and brought back to the cave - Jiuyang Cave, and raised him as an adult.
His talent for cultivating the Dao was not particularly high, so in order to enable him to succeed in his studies, the Guqu Dao Elder gave him the Longevity Pill to delay the growth and aging of his bones and body, so as to ensure that he had enough time to cultivate the Dao.
Shang Xiaoqing chatted with him for a long time before he realized it: "Why did you talk to me for so long, and your master didn't react at all?" ”
The young man laughed and said, "Because I'm chatting with you with spiritual sense, others can't hear me." ”
Shang Xiaoqing was amazed, like a young man asking for advice on what spiritual sense is, how to have spiritual consciousness, and so on.
Jiuyang Cave, the cave of the head of the lonely curved road, is actually not a cave, but an ancient building in the mountain similar to the mountain gate, in addition to the boy Wu Qi, he also has a number of disciples.
Every morning at dawn, the Guqu Taoist would go to the main hall to teach and preach with the disciples to solve their doubts.
The speed of time on Shang Xiaoqing's side is not the same as the time flow rate on Wu Qi's side, and when the two of them were talking, Wu Qi had already followed the Guqu Dao Leader through a few peaks and arrived at the main hall of teaching.
As soon as the Guqu Daoist began to teach, Wu Qi stopped talking and listened attentively.
Although the speed of time at the two ends of the scroll was different, Shang Xiaoqing heard the voice on the other side of the scroll, but it was still clear, and she also listened to the lecture of the Guqu Daoist word by word.
At first, she didn't think about it, but the more she listened, the more amazing it became. Because with the teaching of the Guqu Daoist, Shang Xiaoqing actually felt that a few wisps of breath gradually appeared in his lower abdomen......
In the following years, Shang Xiaoqing listened to the sermons of Guqu Taoist in his spare time through books, and also kept in touch with Wu Qi.
She found that as long as she kept the scroll away from her, Wu Qi over there would be able to see her appearance. And Wu Qi's side is the same.
It's a bit like small hole imaging. It's just that the image formed by the gap in the middle of the scroll is a different time image.
Because of the different speed of time on both sides, Shang Xiaoqing saw Wu Qi grow from a teenager to a very handsome young man, and unconsciously fell in love with Wu Qi.
And Wu Qi also fell in love with Shang Xiao and Qing Dynasty for a long time.
It's a pity that the two are in two different eras, and they can only be connected through this strange scroll.
Wu Qi heard Shang Xiaoqing say that the era she was in should be thousands of years later than the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the Warring States Period, and with a sigh, he told Shang Xiaoqing that the lifespans of their cultivators were very long, like his master Guqu Daochang, who had already lived for thousands of years, so as long as Wu Qi kept cultivating, his lifespan would continue to extend, and it would be no problem to live for thousands of years.
Therefore, both of them are very optimistic about the future of the two. As long as he lives, Wu Qi will come to Shang Xiaoqing sooner or later.
But the world is impermanent, and in Wu Qi's era, the heavens and the earth suddenly changed, and the aura was rapidly disappearing.
Such a world is no longer suitable for the survival of Qi Refiners, so the old-timers with high achievements among Qi Refiners decided to break through the void and take the juniors to another region suitable for Qi Refiners to survive.
But once you leave this world, you can never come back. (To be continued......)
