Chapter 398 Time

The setting sun shone through the window, like a bloody veil covering the room.There were quite a few people in the library, but it was still as quiet as ever.Some monks hold jade slips and meditate, while others like to use scrolls, turning pages one by one, and the rustling sound makes them more concentrated.

This is Lingxiao Pavilion.

Yu Ci leaned sideways, stood between two rows of bookshelves, picked up a jade slip, penetrated his consciousness, and quickly threw it down. Obviously he didn't find anything he wanted, and the surrounding area was already messed up by him. ' up.

"Junior Brother Yu?"

Meng Wei greeted softly, she had been around for a while, just because she wasn't sure about Yu Ci's current state of mind, she observed it for a while, seeing Yu Ci's state of mind was agitated, she spoke to comfort her.

Yu Ci was stunned for a moment, seeing that it was her, she nodded slightly, showing a very faint smile: "Senior Sister Meng is well."

The more he was like this, the more Mengwei worried about his state, stepped forward and said: "Cultivation is the most important thing in meditation, you can't force it."

"Thank you, Senior Sister, for your concern." Yu Ci said lightly, "I just checked the source of the text."

"Oh, which one?"

Yu Ci thought for a while, then asked: "'The sea of ​​qi is overturned and death is like an arrow', what is the source of the phrase?"

Meng Wei was taken aback when she heard the words, then her face flushed, just when she didn't know what to say, she suddenly thought of something, her heart was startled, and she wanted to let go of any shyness.

Seeing the changes in her face and expression, Yu Ci also found it interesting, but he didn't want to embarrass her any longer, so he casually threw down the jade slip in his hand, and was about to speak in other words when he suddenly heard a person say in a slow voice:

"In "Cuixu 'Yin'" written by Niwan Patriarch, there is a sentence called "Mo Yan meets a god in the flower, but he replaces the golden scorpion with tiles. The roots of the tree are rotten and the leaves are green, and the sea of ​​​​qi blows and dies like an arrow", which is also called "The rapid water beach can't hold the boat, and the sea of ​​qi is overturned and death is like an arrow", it is said that it is difficult and dangerous for men and women to gather 'medicine'."

As soon as these words came out, Yu Ci and Meng Wei all turned their heads and called "Old Mr. Zhu".

The old man was standing at the end of the bookshelf, and his voice came slowly, as if he was giving a lecture, and he extended it casually: "This double cultivation method, planting lotuses in the fire, turning poison into wisdom, and the danger of somersaulting on the tip of a needle, is not a big deal. Those with courage and perseverance can’t do anything, you are young and have a bright future, so don’t worry about it.”

Yu Ci slightly bowed: "Mr. is right."

At this moment, Mengwei frowned, and was about to speak, Mr. Zhu glanced at her, stuck in front of him and said: "Although you are asking about the scriptures, men and women are different after all, it is still impolite for you to ask the law like this." .”

Yu Ci was kind, and immediately apologized to Meng Wei, Meng Wei just said "You don't need to be like this", Mr. Zhu waved to Yu Ci: "Ah Ci, come here, I have something to ask you."

Hearing that familiar address, Yu Ci's heart was shaken, and he lowered his head and walked over.Mengwei is a smart person, seeing Mr. Zhu's actions, she knew that she was excluded, so she didn't follow up.After watching the two walk into the stack of bookshelves, she became more and more worried. After thinking about it, she turned and went out.

Mr. Zhu, with his hands behind his back, led the way unhurriedly, and did not speak again.Yu Ci also took this opportunity to sort out what he had just obtained, and his mind was never idle.

"Here, this is yours." At some point, the old man had stopped, and he was holding a wooden bead string, which seemed to be attached to his wrist. There were nineteen wooden beads on it, but the size of a finger, each It is purple in color, very smooth and round.

When Mr. Zhu's words sounded, Yu Cicai came back to his senses from his complicated train of thought. He really couldn't catch up with the old man's train of thought. He was very puzzled for a while, and forgot to reach out to catch it.Just ask: "What is this?"

"It was originally intended for you to use at the Hanzhang Fa Conference, but now you don't have to think about it, just give it to you."

"Contains rules and regulations?"

Yu Ci didn't understand why old Mr. Zhu was so obsessed with a mere regional gathering, but now he was unwilling to use his brains on other things, so he simply took it and put it on his left wrist.

Seeing that he accepted it, Mr. Zhu smiled slightly: "This bead string has no name, it can only be said to be a keepsake. You don't have any expectations. You might as well tell you now, in fact, at the beginning, I let you participate Containing rules and regulations, I have no good intentions..."

Hearing this, Yu Ci turned his attention slightly.

At this time, the two had already reached the platform on a certain floor of Lingxiao Pavilion, watching the sunset.

"Back then, the Shangqing sect suffered a catastrophe and was destroyed overnight. Most of the monks of the sect fell. But there are always some people like me who survived. Some time ago, I heard that there were old people's activities in the area from the Northern Wilderness to the Duanjie Mountains , I wanted you to use my method of Shang Qingzong in the environment of the Hanzhang Fahui, and this bead string to "show" and "show" your face, to see if you can attract a few old friends. Babe, I'm afraid you are in danger of your life. I kept it from you at that time, so I want to apologize here."

As he spoke, he bowed deeply.

Yu Ci supported him, but there was a wry smile on his face.These seniors have deep thoughts, how can they guess, but even if old Mr. Zhu confessed at this time, it is impossible to let him have no grievances in his heart - it is better to keep it a secret.

Unexpectedly, he heard next: "When a man is about to die, his words are good; when a bird is about to die, its song is also sad..."

Yu Ci's heart trembled, he really couldn't hear the word "death" now!He looked up, and Mr. Zhu's expression was flat: "I took refuge in the Lichen Sect at the beginning, and I was lingering on my last breath. I have lived so far, and it has been beyond my expectations, and..."

He laughed suddenly: "Besides, I'm not like you in the temple, full of untimely feelings and sorrows, but it's very realistic. When it's time to die, I always have to make a living. So for a while After a while, I still can't die!"

Yu Ci didn't find it funny at all.

The old man's attitude was calm: "A little bit emotional, isn't it? In fact, it's normal. You have to remember one thing. For cultivators, the most terrible thing in this world is not the doom of heaven and earth, not the turmoil of people's hearts, but time. Reversible, only time is like water, never look back. Practitioners who dare to fight against the world and powerful enemies, but in the face of time, it is not worth mentioning. Only when you live for a long time, you can barely resist, but in fact, even if you live forever Seniors, you should always say 'time does not wait for me', dare you not be afraid?"

Yu Ci is still pondering the meaning of his words, Mr. Zhu has already revealed the answer:

"After staying with you for so long, I still remember some things. I remember that at that time, Yu Zhou was already a high-level cultivation base of Huandan, and he was brilliant in the battle of Tianrift Valley. As for He Qing, he has just formed the alchemy, and his foundation is still unstable, so he must rely on Zhuyan Dan to maintain the vitality of his physical body..."

"Why come here?" Yu Ci had never heard this verse from Lu De.

Mr. Zhu replied: "This is the time limit! They entered the mountain gate too late, and they spent many years before they got their wish. They have already missed the best time for cultivation. Gao, time waits for no one! Yu Zhou is alright, his talent is second-to-none in the world, he can be considered calm, He Qing is just short of it..."

So she "finds another way"?

Seeing his expression, Mr. Zhu nodded and said: "It seems that you have a general understanding, but you don't really understand it. If not, why do you bother to look up that 'sea of ​​qi and death like an arrow'?

"Fang Hui and He Qing are both paranoid people, but they are also what I call 'great perseverance, great courage' people, quite impressive, you don't need to think too low of them."

This time, Yu Ci was silent for a moment, but he grinned: "Sir, all disciples understand."

Mr. Zhu also looked at him for a while, then suddenly patted his head: "I'm old, I forgot to tell you about the mechanism on the bead string."

The bead string handed over to Yu Ci just now had nineteen beads, but in fact, there were only eighteen. The No. 19 beads were actually just put on.It is the function of a jade slip, and what is sealed inside is the cultivation method of the "Golden Talisman of Tianyuan Benming".

Based on Yu Ci's current progress, the magic of Xuanyuan's fundamental Qi method, and this bead as a reference, the old man estimated that within thirty to fifty years, Yu Ci would be able to complete the golden talisman of his life, which is equivalent to returning the alchemy to a high-level one. level.

"Returning the alchemy at seventy is quite a good achievement." The old man seemed satisfied, "It's rare to have a Dharma preacher like you. With you here, I have no regrets to go!"

This is quite a heavy compliment, but Yu Ci made a note of it face-to-face, feeling that the old man had something to say.At this moment, the sky outside was getting dark, he took a deep breath, and bid farewell to Mr. Zhu.

Walking out of Lingxiao Pavilion, Yu Ci looked back, and on the high platform, Mr. Zhu's figure was still there.He saluted there, and then headed south, which was the direction of Zhaixing Tower

Seeing that he was approaching the Optimus Pillar, a sword light shot from the oblique stab.Yu Ci turned his head, and saw that the person who came was dressed in a female crown, exquisite and beautiful, it was Meng Wei.

"Where is Junior Brother going?"
