Zhuxian Prequel: Wilderness

Chapter 65 Petals

Qingyun Mountain, on Tongtian Peak.

"Pa", a crisp sound came from the quiet room behind the Yuqing Hall, which was particularly ear-piercing in this quiet courtyard building.Daotong Qingfeng who was cleaning outside was startled, and hurried to the door of the quiet room, only to see that the door was open, and there was a person sitting by the table in the room, it was Daoxuan.

On the ground in front of Daoxuan, a teacup was broken, and there was still a pile of water stains on the ground, which looked like it had been accidentally dropped and shattered.And Daoxuan's expression also seemed a little strange, under normal circumstances, it seemed that such a thing would not happen anyway, but at this moment he was in a daze, as if he was a little out of control.

Qing Feng hesitated for a moment, knocked on the door with his hands, and then said: "Senior Brother Daoxuan, what's wrong with you?"

Daoxuan's body shook, as if he had just come back to his senses until now, he looked back, said "Oh" and said, "It's nothing."

Qing Feng didn't dare to ask any more questions, she just said: "Then shall I come in and clean it?"

Daoxuan glanced at the broken teacup under his feet, a wry smile flashed across his mouth, then he sighed, nodded and said, "Okay, come over and sweep it, I'm sorry."

Qingfeng said "it should be", then took the broom and dustpan, walked to Daoxuan's side, and cleaned the ground carefully.Daoxuan watched Qingfeng's movements, and after a while, he suddenly asked: "Qingfeng, do you have a good relationship with Baishi?"

Qing Feng nodded, and said: "Yes. Senior Brother Baishi and I worshiped Qingyun Sect together, and then almost worked together in this Yuqing Palace, it has been quite a few years."

Then he took a peek at Daoxuan, and asked cautiously: "Brother, haven't you found Baishi yet?"

Daoxuan nodded slowly, and said: "I haven't found it yet, and I don't know where he will go?"

Qingfeng was a little nervous, but she still mustered up her courage and said: "Senior brother, I think Baishi must still be on Tongtian Peak."

Daoxuan raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "How do you know?"

Qing Feng lowered his head, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Senior brother, he is an orphan and has nowhere to go. When he was with me, he often told me that Qingyunmen is his home, and he The luckiest thing in life is to be able to come to Qingyun Fairy Mountain, and I will stay in Qingyun for the rest of my life."

Daoxuan was silent for a moment, nodded and said: "Yes, I understand." He paused for a while, and then said, "You and Baishi are good boys."

At this time Qingfeng had already cleaned up the debris on the ground, packed up his things and was about to leave the quiet room, but when he reached the door, he couldn't help but turned back to Daoxuan and said, "Senior brother, can I ask you one thing?"

Daoxuan was slightly surprised, looked at him and said, "What's the matter? Tell me."

Qingfeng gritted his teeth, and said: "Senior brother, Baishi is timid, but he is absolutely devoted to our Qingyun sect. I don't know why he didn't come out for a few days, maybe he did something wrong, he hid out of fear But no matter what mistakes he made, if you find him, it doesn't matter how you punish him, just, just...don't drive him out of Qingyun, or he really can't stand it, and he won't be able to survive. "

Daoxuan's face was slightly moved, and then he sat up straight, looked at Qingfeng, his face showed a serious expression for the first time, and said seriously: "Don't worry, I understand." After thinking for a while, he spoke again Said, "Don't think too much about it, whether Baishi made a mistake, or what he did wrong, we still don't know yet, let's talk about it when we find him, maybe nothing will happen at all."

Qingfeng didn't look too old after all, upon hearing this, a bit of surprise appeared on his face, he nodded repeatedly, and thanked Daoxuan several times, before going out.

After Qingfeng left, the quiet room became quiet again, Daoxuan sat alone, his expression gradually turned indifferent.His eyes swept across this quiet room, and looked at all the furniture in this room, tables, chairs, beds, cabinets, one by one, all seemed to be lifeless and dead objects.

Not long ago, there was still an owner in this quiet room. After being injured, Tian Chengzi, the head of the Qingyun Sect, recuperated in this quiet room. After a while, he suddenly moved to a more secluded place in the back mountain. I went to the ancestral hall of the ancestors.

Daoxuan sat in the quiet room for a while, his eyes deep as if he was thinking about something, after a while, he got up suddenly, walked out of the quiet room, and then walked towards the direction of the mountain behind Tongtian Peak.

The passage to the back mountain of Tongtian Peak is opened between the mountains and forests. The trees on both sides are verdant and the ancient trees are dense. From time to time, you can see the old vines hanging down, and you can hear the faint singing of birds. Coupled with the mist and breeze that often float in the mountains, it looks like a fairyland. .

Daoxuan walked on the mountain road, and slowly walked towards the direction of the ancestor's ancestral hall, but compared to usual, this time his walking speed was very slow, and his eyes were solemn along the way, constantly looking at the people on both sides of the mountain road. The trees and grass seem to be searching for something.

The mountain forest is quiet and green, and the mountain wind blows from a distance, gently brushing the Taoist robe on his body.Daoxuan walked on the mountain road for about half an hour, and he seemed to have found nothing, which made his face look more gloomy and solemn, but when he looked at the distance ahead, the stone tablet engraved with the Huanyue Cave Mansion at the three-way intersection was already faintly visible. At that time, for some reason, Daoxuan breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had finally let go of a stone in his heart, and his whole body felt a little relieved.

But at this moment, suddenly the corner of his eye glanced somewhere, and at that moment, Daoxuan's eyes froze suddenly, and his face became tense in an instant.He stood on the spot, neither moving forward nor retreating, as if at that moment of lightning and flint, he seemed to hesitate a bit, and seemed to have the urge to turn around and leave.

After a while, Daoxuan turned around slowly, facing the grass under a certain forest on the side of the mountain road, and walked slowly.

It was a clump of weeds between two big trees, very green and pleasant, almost indistinguishable from the weeds in other places on this mountain.When the mountain wind blows, the green grass here shakes slightly, revealing a small wild flower in the grass.

The flowers are neither big nor small, with four petals, very white and beautiful.It was a very common white color that was really beautiful back then, and three of the four petals were like this, and then on one of the innermost petals, there were a little more other colors.

It was a deep brown, tinged with black because it had dried up, and it was an odd contrast to the other three petals.Daoxuan squatted down slowly, staring at this petal with his eyes, the muscles in the corners of his eyes seemed to twitch slightly.After a while, he stretched out his hand, picked off the petal, put it under his nose and smelled it gently.

A faint smell of blood came from the petals.
