The Song of Covering the Sky

Chapter 342 The Girl
Late autumn hits, the weather is already very cold, and occasionally there are one or two residual leaves hanging tenaciously on the bare tree branches beside the road.

On the spacious bluestone road, there is a constant flow of people and people coming and going. Even though it is late autumn and winter has already entered, here is still a peaceful and worry-free scene.

Wearing thin and shabby clothes, Tian Ge walked slowly towards the city with a cane made of World Tree branches.

The distance between him and the city was only a few hundred meters, but he walked for a few minutes, making passers-by seriously suspect that if there was a strong wind, this old man would definitely be blown away.

"Grandpa, it's getting late now, and there are a lot of people entering and leaving the city gate. Let me support you."

Just when Tian Ge was about to enter the city, a young man with red lips and white teeth came over, wanting to help him.

Tian Ge raised his cloudy eyes, looked at the beautiful young man who looked like a girl, and nodded dully.

The young man was very happy when he saw this, he stepped forward to support Tian Ge's arm, and walked towards the city with Tian Ge who was walking around.

"Grandpa is so old, how dare he come out and walk around."

Tian Ge didn't speak, smelling the unique fragrance of his daughter's house, he couldn't help wrinkling his dry brows.

"What about your family? How dare they let you come out alone."

"They are really serious. Why do you still let you wear such thin clothes? It's freezing cold now. If something happens, it will be bad."

"I don't have any family anymore!" Tian Ge trembled his hands, his voice was hoarse, like the bark of a tree rubbing against each other, he really didn't expect this person to be such a chatterbox.

"No family? Grandpa, I'm sorry!" The girl disguised as a man sincerely apologized.

She had noticed this old man for a long time. He looked like an extremely pitiful and helpless old man. Apart from being clean and tidy, he didn't seem to be from a wealthy family.

In addition, winter is coming, and in this kind of weather, once such an old man gets sick, it is often difficult to survive.

Thinking of this, her heart moved, "Old man, I happen to have no relatives by my side, why don't you follow me for a while, even though I'm not rich, I won't starve you in vain."

"No, when I get old, I always want to go back to the small roads of my hometown, thinking about the fallen leaves returning to their roots, born in this world, and should return to this world." Tian Ge waved his hand tremblingly, rejecting the girl's kindness.

"But... can you do it?" The girl's clear eyes revealed worry.

For such an ordinary old man, even if he suddenly collapsed at the next moment, no one would find it strange.

"It's okay...this is my former hometown, I just want to take another look at the fairy lake...to fulfill my wife's last wish...ahem..."

"Grandpa, are you alright?" The girl saw that he was speaking in short intervals, and really doubted whether the old man could survive this winter.

"Ahem..." Tian Ge gasped, leaning on a cane and said, "It's all old problems, the root of the disease that happened when I was young, young man, don't worry, I can still move this old bone!"

In the city, a girl disguised as a man watched the old man leave tremblingly. It was the last stubbornness of an old man.

However, she was a little bit unbearable.

Her father once said, you are too kind and too simple to live in this world where the jungle is prey to the jungle. If you have been unable to change, it is better not to practice Taoism.

However, she probably never imagined that she would be an old man who could kill her by chance.

……

After getting away from the girl, Tian Ge still trembled towards the distance. For him, no matter whether he was a teenager or a girl, no matter if he was a mortal or a monk, he was just a passer-by in his life, so there was no need to pay too much attention to it.

As the saying goes, living in the world, looking at flowers on horseback, is all scenery.The direction of the heart, the journey of the footsteps, are all journeys.

This is a kind of artistic conception. If you understand it, you will naturally understand it. If you don’t understand it, don’t force it.

…………

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Tian Ge walked through this not-so-big city alone and came to the outskirts.

Now, it was getting late, night was falling, and the weather was getting colder, but he didn't care.

Leaning on a cane, he swayed three times and headed towards the fairy lake in the distance.

After walking for a while, Tiange came to a higher slope and sat leaning on an old tree. There was a big lake in front of him, the tide was blue, like a huge sapphire, inlaid on the ground.

There was a surge of people, and many people walked on the shore of the lake. Even in the winter night, there were quite a lot of people, but most of them were young masters.

Above the Great Lake, the sky is shrouded in clouds and mist, and when it comes to the sky above the Great Lake, the clouds and smoke are shrouded in mist, and dots of colorful clouds flicker, ethereal and holy, which makes people intoxicated.

In the lake, there are many dragon boats and phoenix pavilions parked, and the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras can be heard melodiously.

In addition, there are many big boats floating around, as well as some palaces and pavilions. The lights are bright, and the fairy lake is crystal bright. It is also a rare place.

Tian Ge took a wine gourd from his waist, unplugged it, poured it into his mouth, and let the strong wine pass through his intestines.

This is the wine of the mortal country, perhaps not as good as the fine wine of the Immortal Family, but to him, no matter whether it is the fine wine of ten thousand years or the fine wine of mortals, all that is left is the thoughts in his heart.

"Old man, can you perform some tricks? If you perform well, I can give you a little charity."

"Brother Lin, you really know how to joke. This old man looks like a refugee. He probably has been robbed by bandits. Let's stop making fun of him to avoid bad luck!"

Several luxuriously dressed young people laughed and passed by here, heading for the lake.

Tian Ge didn't get angry, nor did he take any action because of the words of the young people. He looked at the lake with his cloudy eyes and never glanced at them.

Familiar people don't know, some people just throw the cane casually around, which is a treasure that they can't imagine for many generations!
They are like two parallel lines in the same world, and it is difficult for them to intersect.

However, what surprised him was that the girl who had helped him at the gate of the city before was also standing in the distance, did not come over, just watched quietly.

Tian Ge took a sip of wine and felt a little bit of a smile. That girl is a Dao slayer. At this age, to have such a cultivation level, the talent is absolutely extraordinary.

But she ran to the mortal country, probably like him, wanting to perish in this world of mortals.

A monk cultivates his mind and body, and when he realizes something, he will gain something. There are thousands of paths, and each has its merits.

Tian Ge tightened her thin clothes, put the wine gourd back on her waist, closed her eyes, fell into a deep sleep like a piece of rotten wood, withered and lonely.

Maybe it was because of drinking, or maybe it was because of the weather, he was extremely sleepy, so he simply used the sky as his quilt and the ground as his bed, and just fell asleep.
