That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 506

Xiaoqiu Ridge is extremely vast, and several wars that affected the general situation of the world took place here. Tens of thousands of people have died here. It is really not a good place to see the scenery, especially a few days ago. The thin snow makes it even more desolate and white.

The two walked in the whiteness, leaving a series of footprints behind them. After walking for an unknown amount of time, Xu Beiyou suddenly looked up and saw a figure standing against the wind on a high slope in the distance.

Qin Mumian also saw this figure, and said calmly, "That's Qiu Si, the master of Molun Temple."

Xu Beiyou hummed lightly, his face calm.

No matter how apprehensive he was before, after actually seeing him, Xu Beiyou was still the same Xu Beiyou who always had a calm attitude in every big event.

In other words, he has even seen Qiu Ye above the [-]th floor. Is there anyone higher than Qiu Ye in this world?
The answer is no, so Xu Beiyou has no fear.

In this vast expanse of whiteness, the two women finally meet, and Xu Beiyou is the only bystander.

The woman wearing a loose robe and covering her face with a hood glanced at Xu Beiyou and asked, "Qin Mumian, who is this young man? Is it your son and Xiao Yu's?"

Qin Mumian didn't care about these half-joking words, and smiled lightly: "I really want to have such a son, but it's a pity that God doesn't give me a chance."

Xu Beiyou coughed a little uncomfortably, and was finally sure that although this Aunt Qin had a young appearance, she could indeed be her own grandmother inside, without the reserve of a little girl.

This woman, as she gets older and has experienced many things, she becomes a little unscrupulous.

Qiu Si raised her hand and pulled down the hood, revealing a beautiful face that looked like a flying garan in a temple, with a dignified face, with a three-point compassionate color, a little cinnabar red on the center of her brow, like a finishing touch, making her more immortal and Buddha-like Qi.

Xu Beiyou suddenly realized that among the older women he had seen, all of them seemed to have good looks, and all of them were extraordinary in appearance. However, compared with Xiao Zhinan and other young women, these women had an aura of twilight and decay, as if they had experienced a lot of experience. Even though the green bamboo in the severe winter is still green, it is no longer so fresh.

This time, Qiu Si simply looked up and down Xu Beiyou with a look of surprise on his face, "At such a young age, he has already stepped into the realm of the fifth floor of the Earth Immortal. If I read correctly, behind him is... Zhu Xian ?”

Qin Mumian smiled and said, "How about it, isn't my son amazing? Did he dump your disciples and grandchildren for thousands of miles?"

Xu Beiyou twitched the corner of his mouth.

Qiu Si was noncommittal, and said slowly: "However, his realm was not cultivated by himself, but it seems to have been accumulated by external force. It's not that I underestimate you. You don't have this kind of family background. I'm afraid only Taoists can have such a skill in today's world." .”

Qin Mumian curled her lips, "Have you heard of the Twelve Swords of Jianzong? Zhang Xueyao and the others lost their money, even my Chi Lian, and it all belongs to this kid."

Qiu Si snorted, and said flatly: "So this kid is the son of Gongsun Zhongmou and Zhang Xueyao? I remember Zhang Xueyao mentioned many years ago that if she had a son, she would call him Gongsun Hao."

Xu Beiyou was completely speechless. He couldn't understand why this majestic Molun Temple master couldn't get along with the word "son". He first guessed that he was Xiao Huang's son, and then he guessed that he was the son of his master Gongsun Zhongmou. I'm afraid I'm going to guess that he is the illegitimate son of Qiuye, the head teacher of the Taoist sect.

Qin Mumian finally explained: "Qiu Si, are you stupid for reading scriptures on the Daxue Mountain? You don't even know this kid. Don't guess, this kid is neither my son nor Zhang Xueyao's son, but Han Xuan His adopted son is called Xu Beiyou."

Taking advantage of the situation, Xu Beiyou saluted Qiu Si, "Xu Beiyou has met senior."

Qiu Si was not annoyed by Qin Mumian's words, and said calmly: "I haven't paid much attention to ordinary things these years, and let those people make troubles, but because of this, my realm is much higher than yours. Qin Mumian, who is second only to Qiuye in the world, has fallen into today's field, with a difficult road, no hope of eternal life, and a mediocre life."

The smile on Qin Mumian's face slowly disappeared, and he said flatly: "A good man doesn't mention the bravery of the past. Those things in the past have already passed, so what's the point of mentioning it?"

Qiu Si smiled and said: "I'm just a little pity, you are also a person who is expected to ascend, why bother to spoil your mood because of Xiao Yu, I put it down, but you picked it up, so that the progress has been slow for so many years, look Wanyan Beiyue, she was not as good as you back then."

Qin Mumian's face was gloomy.

The conversation between the two did not mean to shy away from Xu Beiyou, and it opened his eyes. Only then did he realize that Aunt Qin was the top person who overwhelmed Wanyan Beiyue and was second only to Qiuye. For this reason, some are willing to degenerate, so that the cultivation base of the realm is abandoned, but even so, they are still great monks above the twelfth floor of the earth fairy, which still makes countless hard-climbing monks hard to come by.

This is the case in the journey of cultivating the Tao. What you have been seeking for a lifetime but cannot get, is easily available to others.

Qiu Si took a few steps closer, and said softly: "When you betrayed Xuanjiao, you practiced Taoism with the old head teacher of the Taoist sect. Unfortunately, you didn't succeed in cultivation. Why don't you learn Buddhism, maybe you can have a chance."

Xu Qin Mu Mian snorted coldly, "Like you? If you have something to say, say it quickly."

Qiu Si took another step back, stared at Qin Mumian, put on the hood again, and said calmly: "Back then, Molun Temple was destroyed by the Taoist sect, and only five children and I were left in the whole sect. Later, with the support of Xiao Yu and the Buddhist sect, The Molun Temple was rebuilt, I was the head of the temple, and the five children were divided into elders, and thus divided into two factions, one was headed by me and was close to Xiao Yu's Daqi court, and the other was headed by the five elders. Getting close to Buddhism and the Golden Tent Royal Court of the Grassland, it was okay when Xiao Yu was alive, no matter whether it was Buddhism or Lin Han of the Wang Ting, he dared not make any moves, but now Xiao Yu has been gone for 20 years, plus I haven't paid much attention to the affairs of the temple these years, so Molun Temple is a bit out of control now."

Qin Mumian's face became serious.

Qiu Si hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Especially Lin Han went to Molun Temple twice in person, and stationed tens of thousands of troops at the foot of Daxue Mountain, which made the five elders very arrogant. I wanted to get rid of them secretly, but there are Buddhists Fighting against the shamanism, I am struggling now, and I don’t know how long I can last.”

Qin Mumian said coldly: "The reason why Xiao Yu wanted to help you rebuild the Molun Temple back then was to drive a nail into the grassland, but what have you done all these years? Close the door and seek longevity?"

Qiu Si was silent.

Qin Mumian took a deep breath, trembling, in awe.

Xu Beiyou looked at his nose and his heart with his eyes.

Qin Mumian eased his tone, and said: "You just try your best to maintain it. I will go to the imperial capital to meet Xiao Xuan. I will eventually have an answer."

Qiu Si nodded lightly, "It's enough with your words."

Qin Mumian looked down at the vast expanse of snow on the ground, and said in a low voice: "The men are almost dead, and we old women are left. You must not die. If there is nothing you can do, then go and go back to the middle." turn out to be."

Qiu Si's face was hidden in the hood, and she couldn't see her expression clearly, so she just nodded.

The wind blows and the snow rolls.

In the snowstorm, Qiu Si turned and left, drifting away.

After a long time, Qin Mumian laughed at himself, "When I get old, my heart softens." Xu Beiyou didn't make a sound.

Qin Mumian put his hand on Xu Beiyou's shoulder, and said softly, "Little Beiyou, don't just leave like your master and Xiao Yu, leaving a bunch of old and weak women and children to be bullied."

Xu Beiyou straightened his back and said softly, "No."
