The house is very old, and there is a brick dilapidated flower bed in the courtyard, which is overgrown with weeds, and it has obviously not been taken care of for a long time. Xu Lin stood at the door, looking into the distance, the clouds and mist, half-hidden and half-visible, like a meteor flying by the light from time to time, his eyes were calm, there was no trace of waves in his heart, many times he stood like this, looking into the distance, in fact, it was also a kind of relaxation.
It's been some time since I entered the mountain, and after that day, because I don't have a specific name in Kunlun, I can only live here temporarily, and the only person I can contact during this period is an old man who lives next door. This old man should also be a subordinate of Kunlun, but when they met for the first time that day, Qing Li and Qing Xuandao didn't say anything to the old man, just simply explained a few words and left. Look at this old man again, wearing a shabby Kunlun Taoist uniform, he didn't even respond, he just arranged Xu Lin here, and Xu Lin and his black donkey also lived here.
For Xu Lin, these days are the most peaceful days, he doesn't think much, but lives his previous life, which is a long memory.
Get up in the morning, take a walk around the neighborhood, look at the scenery under the mountains, breathe the refreshing air, and then look at the various colors of light in the clouds.
As for eating, every time it was time to eat, the strange old man who lived next door would always deliver the food to Xu Lin's door (including the black donkey's) on time, and then left without saying a word, Xu Lin began to be very curious about this old man, but think about it, people don't want to say, why bother others?
One day, Xu Lin stood in the yard, watching the donkey eat grass with a satisfied face, just like this, watched for a long time, until the donkey also raised his head strangely, the donkey looked at Xu Lin curiously, and Xu Lin looked directly at him, the donkey looked at it for a long time, felt that this guy was boring, and when he lowered his head to eat the grass materials, Xu Lin suddenly chuckled, and then turned around and entered the house, and before entering the house, he said softly: "What a foodie!"
The donkey didn't understand, and saw that Xu Lin just ate a few bites of food, and also sneered, and thought with ridicule in his heart, this guy is really stupid, he doesn't eat any food!
Another day, Xu Lin finished breakfast, very strange did not take the donkey to wander, so the donkey was very dissatisfied, protesting and neighing, and Xu Lin stood in front of this dilapidated flower bed, looked at it for a long time, until he saw that the donkey no longer howled but stared at him strangely, Xu Lin still looked motionless, so the donkey thought, is this guy crazy?
In the evening, Xu Lin didn't know where to find the stones and soil, tirelessly carried them from the outside to the yard, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and Xu Lin began to repair the flower bed without saying a word. The donkey began to be a little confused, and after looking at it for a while, he felt bored, so he began to wander around the yard, walked in front of Xu Lin from time to time, intentionally or unintentionally touched Xu Lin with the long donkey face, Xu Lin impatiently pushed the donkey aside, and continued his work. The donkey was angry, his donkey face actually pasted on the cold buttocks, so the donkey ran out of the door, before going out, and looked back at Xu Lin, now this guy has no intention of keeping, so he stepped up the donkey's hooves, and went straight to a bush outside the door, which startled a burst of birds to fly, and saw the bird's panicked appearance, the black donkey bared its big donkey teeth, looked up to the sky and laughed, this laughter is like a ghost crying, how ugly, how ugly, but the donkey is happy, so he no longer cares about Xu Lin, and goes to have fun by himself.
Stacking flower beds is a tedious job, for Xu Lin, who has never done this kind of work, is a little difficult, but Xu Lin is happy in it, at this time for Xu Lin, there is no pressure from the bloodstained Taoist, there is no rush for revenge, at this time, it is a relatively simple model, as long as the stone bricks piled up here can be completed.
So the days began to change, and in the early morning on the path, I could still see a young man leading a black donkey, sometimes stopping to watch the distant sky for a while, sometimes looking for some branches and willows, and then leading the donkey to the residence. So repeatedly, when I looked at the boy again, his face was no longer pale, and he had a refreshing smile, but the donkey behind him was unhappy, and at some point, it was carrying two large frames woven with branches, which were filled with dirt and some simple flowers and plants, and on the donkey's head, there was also a wreath of flowers.
Life is day after day, day after day, Xu Lin's flower bed was repaired unconsciously, and some simple flowers and plants were planted, looking at the vibrant flower bed, I don't know why, Xu Lin's heart began to be a little lost, so Xu Lin's eyes began to fall on the donkey again, and when the donkey showed Xu Lin's somewhat resentful gaze, I don't know why, I suddenly had a cold shiver in my heart, neighed, the donkey raised its hooves and stepped on the door, and disappeared.
"How long will it take?" Xu Lin kept asking himself this question in his heart, just throwing himself here like this, ignoring it?
Xu Lin wanted to be angry, but is anger useful? This is another question, Xu Lin shook his head, entered the room, looked at the face in the mirror that was gradually familiar, Xu Lin smiled, showing his white teeth, and then Xu Lin gently stroked his face, a strange feeling, I can't tell what it feels like, is it boring? Is it helpless? Is it urgent? Or all of these. Xu Lin, who sighed softly, looked at the warm sunlight outside the window, he really wanted to cultivate the Blood God Son, but could he practice here? This is Kunlun, a little bloody breath, I believe that he will be felt by the Protector Array, that is a very bad thing.
The days are a little boring like this, the time to stop and watch the distance in the early morning is getting longer and longer, looking at the residence close at hand, Xu Lin frowned, his eyes were deflected, and he fell under the eaves next door, it was time to visit.
Walking to the gate of the courtyard, looking at the somewhat mottled door wall, the scenery of this residence is quite consistent with the image of the old Taoist priest, but I don't know if it is the same in it.
Gently pushed open the courtyard door, the courtyard was a little cold, it could also be said that there was nothing, the long eaves shrouded the entire courtyard in a shadow, this feeling, Xu Lin didn't like it very much, but he still said slightly: "Xiaosheng, please forgive me for the trouble, but I have some doubts in my heart, I hope that the real person can solve Xiaosheng's doubts." ”
There was no one in the courtyard, the door was closed, no one answered, Xu Lin waited for a while, it was still silent, it was a little boring, but he still waited, but this kind of waiting is not a way, so Xu Lin said in a cool voice: "Is the real person there?"
After waiting for a long time, Xu Lin was a little helpless, gently exited the courtyard, then closed the courtyard door, looked at it for a while, shook his head and left, after all, he was a strange person, no wonder the two real people of Qingli and Qingxuan left after just a few words, without waiting for the old Taoist priest's answer, probably knowing that there was no reply at all.
At noon, Xu Lin sat in front of the flower bed, carefully cleaning up the soil in the altar, but at this time, the old figure stepped in slowly, without looking at Xu Lin, put the food box in his hand in front of the door, and turned to leave. When Xu Lin saw it, he immediately stood up, chased after him in a hurry, and stayed in front of the old Taoist, first saluted, and said: "Real people stay, Xiaosheng does have something to find a real person." ”
The old Taoist glanced at Xu Lin with cloudy eyes, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, that is, he walked past him, ignoring Xu Lin, and the pupils in Xu Lin's eyes contracted, looking at the back, that sneer was so familiar, that long-lost feeling, so that Xu Lin's soul seemed to tremble, and for a moment, Xu Lin seemed to think that he had met a bloodstained Taoist again, so he could only stand there stunned, and his body couldn't move a bit.
"How dare a real person be called like this?"
Hey Ran smiled, his voice was cold and cold, the farther the back walked in Xu Lin's eyes, Xu Lin still didn't move, but heard the old Taoist priest continue: "The way of cultivation is already lonely and lonely, and the years in the mountains are even more lonely, so I can't bear it for a few days, let's go down the mountain and read your book." ”
For a long time, the old Taoist priest was long gone, Xu Lin still stood silently in place, and there was life in his eyes, but it was cold and abnormal.
"Bloodstained Daoist, bloodstained hair, bloodstained shit! You are still in my heart after all, can I live in your shadow forever?"
A breeze blew the silk on the top of Xu Lin's head, Xu Lin stood like this, the corners of his mouth moved, and a trace of blood slowly flowed at the corners of his lips, and it was this pain that made Xu Lin sober up. Thinking back to just now, Xu Lin, who suddenly breathed like a dream, took a deep breath, stretched out his tongue, licked the blood from the corners of his lips, recalled the words of the old Taoist priest just now, and suddenly realized in his heart, after a long time, Xu Lin's face re-sparkled a smile, but this smile was so hearty, in stark contrast to the gloom just now.
"Lonely and lonely, five years of misery can be endured, why is there loneliness these days?" chuckled, Xu Lin slowly walked towards his residence, and the slow pace at this time revealed a sense of perseverance.
On this day, Xu Lin didn't do anything, spending time in the flower beds all day, and the second day, Xu Lin pulled the donkey and appeared on the path he used to walk before, on both sides of the donkey, there were two frames, and the frame was filled with a lot of mud and sand, Xu Lin glanced at the clouds not far away, stopped to watch for a while, a smile hung on his face, the light in the clouds, maybe he would be able to have his own figure soon.
