..................
Early morning.
Blameless walked out of his thatched nest, yawning, stretching his waist, still drowsy. It was difficult to sleep peacefully last night, so I took the "Immortal Dao Collection" for hypnosis, who expected to watch a half-night, and I would fall asleep in a daze, and it was time to go down the well.
For the sake of a Mushen, it was difficult to sleep and eat. And no matter how difficult life is, you still have to try to get by!
Blameless calmed down, patted the skin bag and short sword on his waist, and raised his head to the sky and spit out a sullen breath, and then he took a strong step.
The mountains are pervasive, and the heavens and the earth are clear. In the middle of it, it's like walking on the clouds.
Not far away, figures appeared one after another. They were all Yujing's disciples, each in a silent hurry.
"This senior brother is early!"
Blameless was pacing himself absent-mindedly when a young man of seventeen or eighteen walked up to him. He nodded slightly, put on the posture of a senior brother and said casually: "Well, at a young age, he is so diligent, and the coming days are limitless!" The other party was in high spirits, and hurriedly raised his hand and said: "Little brother Luoshan, I am willing to encourage my senior brother!"
Blameless grinned and continued to move forward with a strange look.
Hmph, I also want to encourage you! Why can't I cultivate without a spiritual root, but I am a mortal who is serious. Otherwise, I won't stop if I don't beat that Mu Shen to his knees and beg for mercy!
Alas, there are a hundred kinds of red flowers, and human life is different. Why can't God take care of one or two, it makes people so helpless!
"Please ...... first"
Someone in front of him leaned sideways, soft-spoken and polite.
"Tian ...... Madam...... Sister-in-law......"
Caught off guard, he stretched out his hand and humbly conceded, seeing that the other party looked unhappy, he hurriedly changed his words: "I should call you Sister Tian, hehe!"
It was a woman in her thirties and forties, with her hair in a bun like clouds, her complexion fair, and although she was dressed in cloth, her eyebrows were clear and neat. I only remember that her surname is Tian, and everything else is unknown.
"As monks, how can you and I treat each other with ordinary etiquette, if you don't want to call me senior sister, just call me Tian Xiaoqing!"
The woman who called herself Tian Xiaoqing spoke unhurriedly, and her demeanor was tactful and reserved.
Blameless, he said apologetically: "I am here in this mountain, but I don't have the consciousness of a monk. I hope Senior Sister Tian doesn't mind, and she goes along!" he smiled embarrassedly and raised his hand.
Tian Xiaoqing was also generous, no longer caring, walking side by side, empathetic and said: "No junior brother doesn't have to blame himself, I thought I was ignorant and uneasy at the beginning!"
Wu Zhi asked curiously: "I see that Senior Sister Tian is quite good at talking and behaving well, she must have a background?"
The corners of Tian Xiaoqing's mouth twitched, a smile appeared lightly, and then he sighed softly: "No junior brother, why aren't you so ......?"
I'm asking you, what does it have to do with me?
Blameless glanced down, and then didn't squint.
Tian Xiaoqing said to himself: "A person's demeanor is not cultivated in a day. If there is no junior brother, if he is not the son of the family, he is a prince and a nobleman......"
Eyesight is sometimes the embodiment of experience. This Senior Sister Tian is also interesting, quiet and introverted, but she is also wise and understanding, but she is hidden here and away from the red dust!
Blameless's eyes flashed, scratched his head, and said, "I'm just a ...... Ordinary people ......"
Tian Xiaoqing replied lightly: "Who is not a down-and-out person?"
Wu Ji took the opportunity to smile and said: "Sister Tian, what experience do you have, you might as well share one or two!" He always thought that the other party was an unsmiling and unapproachable person, and he accidentally talked a few words today, but he felt that the words were speculative. It can be seen that there are always preconceived misunderstandings when people know each other.
Sister Tian?
A casual call seems to suddenly drag people from a lonely heights back to the turbid current of the once noisy and unforgettable earthly world.
Tian Xiaoqing was slightly stunned, his body was stunned, his expression seemed to be flustered, he didn't have time to turn his head sideways, hurriedly dodged, turned to say nothing, his feet sped up, and he walked forward silently alone.
What did I say wrong?
Blameless shook his head, a little depressed.
In the blink of an eye, we passed the front mountain, and to the north of the hillside was the valley where the daily breakfast gathered. There was an old man on the side of the road looking back, he was waiting for his little junior brother, or his longevity soup.
When they arrived at the row of houses in the valley, there was indeed one more person beside Ge Qi and Zhong Kai, the fifth steward of Yujing Peak, Mu Shen. It's just that after the guy was introduced to the crowd, he left alone.
After breakfast, the disciples went up the mountain one after another, and then traveled in rows, waiting to go down the well, and then continued to work and cultivate day after day.
However, this morning was a little different than the usual quiet.
Wu Yi walked through the bamboo shed, and let the steward Gou Jun shake the jade plate and urge him to go quickly, but he refused to move forward, just looking sideways and smiling.
The steward Xiang Rong stood not far from the bamboo shed, as if he was annoyed: "I said that it has nothing to do with me, what are you going to do?" Don't think that with the support of the Xuanyu Dao Chief, you will do whatever you want, I hope you will do it yourself!"
And the one who was entangled with him was the new steward Mu Shen. Xu was eager but couldn't, he was also a little annoyed, but he didn't have enough confidence, and sneered and threw the sleeves of his robe: "When the water finally comes out, hum ......"
That guy is really shrewd, and he has figured out the truth of the matter so quickly! And he also has a kind of grudge against Xiang Rong. The two of you might as well continue to fight, and it's best to fight each other with swords, hehe!
"No blame, you're gloating!"
Wu Yi was secretly happy to himself, and happened to meet a pair of cold eyes and glared at him. He feigned not to see, shrugged his shoulders and continued on.
The guy was right, the grudge between them was still going on and getting more exciting!And with his toes, he was going to return to the cold and gloom.
After going down the well, everything was as before.
Blameless greeted Zong Bao and Yun Shengzi, and then listlessly walked towards the place where the jade was harvested every day.
Someone called softly: "No junior brother......
Looking at the sound without blame, it was Tian Xiaoqing sitting quietly beside the tunnel, the jade light flickered, the woman's expression was a little hesitant, and then she said with relief: "In my life, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of Yujing Peak." It's better to talk about it than to leave with a lot of regrets......"
Wu Ji turned around and sat down on the spot a few feet away, and said with a smile: "It's a blessing to be Sister Tian's listener!"
Tian Xiaoqing seemed to be surprised, the corners of his mouth twitched, he sighed secretly, and said softly: "To the east of Nanling, there is Qingqiu Country. I was an ordinary woman in Qingqiu, with a well-to-do family and no worries about food and clothing, but at the age of sixteen, I ......"
Leaning against the stone wall behind him, one leg stretched diagonally, one leg bent at the knee, and his hand on his cheek, posing in a very comfortable listening position. Sure enough, the woman in front of her was a rich daughter. I don't know what she's going to say, and I'll listen to it as a gossip.
Near the end of the tunnel, it was very secluded, and it was whispered so that no one could hear it.
Tian Xiaoqing went on to say that when she was sixteen years old, she went out in the wild and met an official eunuch, so it was love at first sight. The family blamed her for corrupting the door and punished her. She ran away from the house only to elope. And the hometown that Childe said did not exist at all. She was infatuated and searched everywhere. Ten years later, it still hasn't worked. Another decade, still so. She ate and slept in the open air, wandered from place to place, endured all the hardships, and put the green years and good years into the pursuit of a dream. Eventually, however, she despaired, and set out on her journey home. But it happened unexpectedly......
On the way, she met a convoy of carriages and horses, and the merry man leaning on the red and green in the carriage turned out to be the sweetheart she had been thinking about for a long time! She couldn't believe it, and went away in sorrow. The man chased after him and said that he had made a wish to his parents and was determined to get married, but he was expelled from the house, so he turned back and looked for it alone, only thinking about staying with the woman he met on the outing, who expected that they would miss each other and never see each other again. So he returned to the family after ten years of depression......
If you have been looking for ten years, why can't you wait another ten years? If you have loved all your life, how can you give up halfway and go against your original intention?
She wanted to complain about the loss of the other party, she wanted to blame the injustice of fate, she wanted to talk about the hard work of the past 20 years, but in the end she went away silently without saying a word, and turned the sorrow into the autumn wind that year whimpering in the sky, just wanting to be buried in the soil on the side of the road to witness the vicissitudes of the season!
coincided with the fall of the gods, and met two Taoist friends who were looking for immortals. The other party said that if you stay away from the red dust, you will stay away from the distress. If you become an immortal, you can get away with it......
"And after I came to Yujing Peak, I still couldn't let go of the past. After talking today, I may be relieved from now on!"
Tian Xiaoqing said this, slowed down a little, and said to himself quietly: "The red dust is boundless, and it is unbearable to look back at the wild goose to make a trip, and sigh the bright moon and sad autumn wind, tears and rain and butterflies are a pair of ......" His expression was infatuated, and then he sighed with relief: "I hope that from now on, I will not know my sorrows, waving my sleeves and dancing the sky nine times and nine ......" The starlight flashed in her eyes, she lowered her head and smiled, and raised her hands: "Thank you no brother for listening to my nagging, and I wish to succeed in cultivation!"
Wu Yi is still leaning against the stone wall, very idle and lazy. Seeing that the other party finally finished speaking, he hurriedly sat up straight and asked curiously: "Who are the two people who brought you to Lingshan, could it be the seniors on the mountain?"
He was still really listening, and listened in detail. If this Tian Xiaoqing knew the master on the mountain, he might be able to help talk, even if he couldn't ask for help, it would be good to let Mu Shen restrain himself. That guy always bullies himself and is too powerful. It's really unfair to compete like this!
"Those two friends, one died on the way, and the other died here, the old man who ran out of life a few days ago, and you saw it with your own eyes!" Tian Xiaoqing replied casually, but his eyes were bright, and he was puzzled: "Those are just two ordinary Taoist friends, what's wrong?"
Wuyi waved his hand and said with a smile: "Sister Tian has a lot of fate, but her infatuation has not changed, which is really admirable and embarrassing......!
Tian Xiaoqing shook his head slightly, gradually regained his previous reserve and cold arrogance, and said quietly: "Hongchen past, there is no need to mention it. No junior brother, you still call me senior sister!"
Wu was slightly stunned, so he had to stand up.
I thought it was a great thing to be confided in, at least I was worthy of the other party's trust. Who would have thought that people just want to talk to someone, that's all! And pour out the past to the brain, and you can have no worries from now on?
Wu Blame felt bored, turned around and left, and just about to move, he couldn't help but turn around and said, "What's wrong with Hongchen?"
Tian Xiaoqing's eyes were slightly closed, and he was indifferent at all. Rather than seeming, the young man he met was gentle and casual, but he had a gentlemanly habit. Enough has been said, and enough is enough!
It's not fun to blame yourself, so you have to continue to move forward, but you cleared your throat again, and raised your head and said: "The clouds are lonely and lonely for thousands of years, and the nine days of the wind are only shadows, so it's better to go back to the red dust with a smile and see me flying with full sleeves!"
I also know poetry, I can make it up at your fingertips!
Tian Xiaoqing's expression moved slightly, and there was no one in front of him......
