Chapter 47: The Cliff of Life
In the inn at night, the shopkeeper crawled out of the front desk and touched his head and continued to push the abacus, and every guest in the house returned to the room to continue to sleep, and many men in robes hurriedly walked out of the inn.
Everyone who heard the music forgot anything that had happened a second ago, but Zi Xiaoyun was the only one who heard the beautiful melody and was not affected by it in the slightest.
The girl in the yellow shirt sat cross-legged on the bed, Zi Xiaoyun understood that the girl meant to let herself out, and she didn't want to say much, Zi Xiaoyun touched the back of her head awkwardly and said: "The girl is bothered, thank you girl for your kindness today, if there is anything you need to tell me, I, I will retire first." β
The girl still didn't pay attention, from the meeting to the present, Zi Xiaoyun has been eating behind closed doors, and in desperation, Zi Xiaoyun returned to her house.
"This was still a mess just now, those inexplicable men were destroying everywhere and kicking my uncle! How could they all leave as if they were a different person?" Zi Xiaoyun sat on his chair and thought, "Have these people who live in the hotel also forgotten what just happened? It's really strange." β
And in the room of the girl in the yellow shirt, the moment Zi Xiaoyun left the room and closed the door, the girl opened her eyes. She hung the jade flute in her hand around her waist and took out a bag of sachets from her arms.
The sachet was small, pale red. The girl took out a note from the sachet, and for a long time, the girl stared at the words on the note for a long time.
"Boundless Mountain. β
It was already past the morning, Zi Xiaoyun rubbed his eyes and looked outside, the rain that had fallen overnight had long since stopped, and the stagnant water on the street was almost dry. Zi Xiaoyun changed his clothes, packed up his baggage and came to the shopkeeper.
"This master, are you leaving?"
"Well, by the way, please say thank you to the girl in the yellow shirt in the room, there is still a way to go, so I will go first. Zi Xiaoyun came down the stairs and said to the shopkeeper.
"Oh, master, it's really unfortunate that the girl left as soon as the rain stopped. β
"Leaving so early?" Zi Xiaoyun opened his mouth and exclaimed.
"Hey, this lord, I thought you were together at first, when she left, I asked her if she wanted to wake you up, but the girl said no, she went her way, you sleep with you. The shopkeeper on the side jumped and walked over.
"Oh, hehe, we really aren't together, do I need to pay you for the silver?" Zi Xiaoyun clutched his burden of a few dry cakes except for his clothes.
The shopkeeper hurriedly ran out from behind the stage, shook his hand desperately and said, "No, it's strange to say, that girl thought you would stay in our store for a while, and she had already taken you to pay for three days." The shopkeeper took out two ingots of silver from his waist and handed them to Zi Xiaoyun, "This lord, this silver is given by that girl." β
Zi Xiaoyun looked at the silver that was inexplicably sent in his hand, it was really a joy, this pie fell from the sky, don't be in vain! Zi Xiaoyun put away the silver and thanked the shopkeeper.
"Shopkeeper, this girl gave the young man two ingots of gold, why did you give him two ingots of silver?" Xiao Er asked as he looked at Zi Xiaoyun's departing back.
The shopkeeper patted Xiao Er's head: "Pig! This kid looks like a newcomer, if you don't ask for some oil and water from him, you really can't do business!" β
Zi Xiaoyun happily put the silver in his arms, took out a map and walked towards Boundless Mountain.
After walking for two days, Zi Xiaoyun never found Boundless Mountain, and in this lofty mountain, he didn't know which vein was the main peak of Boundless Mountain.
"Hey, this grandfather, may I ask how to go to Boundless Mountain?" Zi Xiaoyun saw an old man sweeping the floor on a mountain road sweeping the fallen leaves. The old man didn't pay attention to Zi Xiaoyun, but continued to sweep the ground. Zi Xiaoyun felt a strange feeling in his heart, "What's wrong with these people? women don't speak, and men don't speak!"
The old man stopped sweeping the floor and lifted a clump of vines on the edge of the cliff, revealing a stone pillar. The old man pointed to the stone tablet with a broom, and Zi Xiaoyun looked in the direction.
"There is no boundless love world. β
"Thank you grandpa. Zi Xiaoyun put away the map and breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm tired to death, it's finally here." Let's go find a place with water to rest. β
The old man seemed to know Zi Xiaoyun's thoughts, and pointed to an extra stone step on the side of the mountain road not far ahead with a broom. Zi Xiaoyun stared at the old man for a long time, and the old man pointed there with a broom, and Zi Xiaoyun guessed that there must be water there.
Bidding farewell to the old man, Zi Xiaoyun walked up the stone steps in front of him. The old man looked at the back of Zi Xiaoyun, dropped the broom, touched the words on the stone pillar on the side of the cliff and said, "Mantuo Fairy, you have finally waited for the γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" After that, the old man turned into a burst of white light and disappeared into the mountain.
Zi Xiaoyun walked down the stone steps for two hours, and finally came to the bottom of the valley. Cliffs with no peaks, turquoise and clear waters. In the center of the lake is a small island, which is full of broken swords.
Zi Xiaoyun didn't care so much, and came directly to the lake with both hands, ready to drink the lake water.
"Ruthless and Forgetful γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
Zi Xiaoyun heard the words, looked up and looked around, only to find that there was an old man sitting on the island, yes, that old man was the old man who showed Zi Xiaoyun the way. Zi Xiaoyun thought that his eyes were spent, and he rubbed it and looked at the stone steps behind him.
"Little brother came here, why don't you come up and get together with the old man?"
"You, aren't you sweeping the floor thereγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»?
"Why did you sit in front of your eyes all of a sudden?"
"You, who the hell are you? I didn't provoke you, don't look for me if you have something. Zi Xiaoyun took a few steps back.
Seeing that Zi Xiaoyun was about to leave, the old man waved one arm, and the water on the surface of the lake surged, and a strong gravitational force sucked Zi Xiaoyun over. "Meeting is fate, why should the little brother leave in a hurry?"
"Hey, let go of me, what are you going to do!" Zi Xiaoyun fell on the island, and he quickly stood up, "Oh, don't think that I won't dare to do anything to you when you're old!"
"Oh, little brother, he doesn't have a lot of ability, but he has a lot of temper! You don't ask me why I invited you here and start yelling here, it seems, something is wrong. β
"Hmph, is there anyone else you invited like this?" Zi Xiaoyun patted the dust on his body, "You, you say, why did I come here?"
"Hahaha, that's a good question, that's a good question!" the old man said with a smile on his white beard, "Because I've been waiting for you for eight thousand years." β
"Eight, eight thousand years? You wait for me to wait for eight thousand years?" Zi Xiaoyun shouted loudly, at this time he was in his heart, thinking "This old man can't be sick, right, if he is lonely and empty, arrest me here to accompany him, I am not going to suffocate to death?"
"Don't worry, I won't let you stay with me. Indeed, I have been waiting for you for 8,000 years. β
"You, how do you know what I'm thinking? You eavesdrop on my heart!" Zi Xiaoyun pointed at the old man and scolded.
The old man just shook his head and smiled, "I am an ancient sword spirit, I know what is wrong with the thoughts of mortals?"
Zi Xiaoyun looked at the countless broken swords and broken knives on this island, looking at the old man, although he was gray-haired, he did not show weakness at all, like a fairy like a crane, "You are really an ancient sword spirit?
The old man pointed to the towering cliffs on both sides of the lake shore and said, "The cliff of life." β
"The Cliff of Life, the Beidou Sword Sect said that the Cliff of Life is the cliff between the two peaks of Boundless Mountain, so I have indeed arrived at Boundless Mountain!" Zi Xiaoyun pouted, "You just said to wait for me, why wait for me." β
"Hehe, little brother, I waited for you to be entrusted by someone, and now that you have finally arrived, my mission has been completed. With a wave of the old man's sleeve, Zi Xiaoyun saw that his eyes were pale, and he suddenly came to the dense woods.
"What are you bringing me here for? I haven't drunk any water yet!"
"Little brother, I was supposed to forget the remnant sword of the infatuation mound on the lake, and the people who were ordered by me gave me their fairy spirit to let me complete this task, and now that the task has been completed, my spirit has also dissipated, you can keep moving forward along this road!"
"Hey, you haven't told me yet, why are you waiting for me?
"There are times in life that must be there, and there are times in life when you don't force it! Little brother, although I can't see through your reincarnation, the prophecy of a thousand years ago will not be wrong, and you are the one I am waiting for! Go, the cold dry ice you are looking for is ahead. After the old man finished his last sentence, he turned into a broken sword, and a white light flew out of the broken sword.
Zi Xiaoyun caught the remnant sword, looking at the remnant sword, he felt the urge to cry, "I thank you family! Before you disappear, at least tell me how to go back!"
