The Song of Covering the Sky

Chapter 345
The cold wind blew up Tiange's fiery red cloak and messy white hair.

"Grandpa, I see that you have been fishing here for several days. Do you have any fish?" A young man dressed as a scholar came to sit down on the bluestone next to Tian Ge with a smile, holding a book of poetry, and said ask.

Tian Ge smiled, "Fish swim in the water, and fishing is in the heart. If there is a relationship between each other, the fish will be hooked!"

The scholar was speechless, "But you don't have any bait, and it's freezing cold, the fish are all in the middle of the lake, will any fish take the bait?"

Tian Ge smiled but didn't answer, if there is, give it a fortune, if not, it's okay.

The scholar didn't speak any more, just sat cross-legged on the bluestone, holding the book of poems and books carefully.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this is indeed a scholar, but Tian Ge knows that this person is clearly the girl he met earlier.

As a Dao Slayer cultivator, it is impossible for her to be incapable of these transformation techniques. Since that night, this girl has changed in a different way, accompanying Tian Ge.

This is the stubbornness of a young girl who wants to help the old man.

However, Tian Ge has never manifested her real body, nor exposed her, just pretending that she does not know each other's identities, and is dedicated to being an old man.

I don't know if it's Tiange's bad luck, or maybe it's some other reason, but after half a month, no fish has taken the bait.

In fact, let alone fish, there is not even a fry.

The girl dressed as a scholar didn't find it strange, she always thought that this old man couldn't catch fish.

"Hey, when people are old, it is inevitable that they will be a little confused. There used to be rumors that there are people with great supernatural powers in the world who don't need bait to catch fish. I want to follow suit. It seems that this is also the difference between mortals and immortals." Tian Ge said with emotion.

Seeing Tian Ge get up, the girl who was still smiling immediately took two steps forward to support his arm, lest he accidentally fall down.

"Where did you hear that? How come I didn't know there was such a powerful being." She asked curiously, "Isn't it a folk tale?"

"Young man, you are still young, you need to go out for a walk more, the world outside is very big and exciting, it is definitely much more beautiful than the ancient country of Xianhu!" Tian Ge said with a smile.

He has been with this girl for a while, and he knows that this girl is pure in nature and kind in heart.

Just like her, let alone beheaded, even if she is sanctified, Tian Ge can sell her again, it is easier to deceive than that silly girl Huo Lin'er.

At least, Huo Lin'er was the woman he hadn't knocked down with Medicine King and Nine Secrets, although in the end it changed because of enlightenment tea...

"Is the old man leaving?"

Tian Ge said sadly, "Yes, I have also seen the scenery of my hometown. This life is enough. Next, I am going to travel far and leave here."

"Then... the world is so big and boundless, where are you planning to go?"

"Although the world is big, the road is always under our feet. Although I am old, I can still move!"

The girl dressed as a scholar was stunned, "Is the road where you walk?"

Then she said, "Although I have read thousands of books, I would like to be as open-minded as the old man. Can you take me with you? If something happens to you, I can bury you more or less, so that your bones will not remain."

Tian Ge asked back, "Hahaha, why not?"

The two of them had not been together for a short time, and it was extremely rare for a girl to make such a joke.

But Tian Ge thinks more, this girl probably thinks that he can't go on, maybe one day when he collapses, she can help him to some extent, even if it is not difficult for her to let an old man live for a few more decades .

"It's a long journey, and the old man knows so much. You might as well tell me a thing or two. It will open the eyes of me, a junior, enrich my knowledge, and relieve my boredom by the way. Why not do it."

"Okay then, I'll tell you the story of the Three Little Pigs." Tian Ge laughed.

"Okay." Although she looks like a scholar, her eyes are still clear and bright, which seems to be able to break through the darkness deep in one's heart and cleanse one's soul.

"The story still starts from a quagmire. Once upon a time, there was a mountain of Lingjian. There was a river under the mountain. Three old monks lived by the river..."

"Shouldn't it be the three pigs?"

Tian Ge reproached, "Don't make noise, listen to me carefully..."

The old and the young walked forward in the cold wind, gradually drifting away, leaving behind only bursts of laughter like wind chimes.

Perhaps, sometimes, she didn't realize it herself, and with that old man, she could completely let go of her body and mind and be carefree.

………………

The Time Continent is vast and boundless, with four domains in total, and it is difficult for a mortal to travel through all of them in a lifetime.

In the past two years, Tian Ge and that girl have become more and more familiar. They set off from the ancient country of Xianhu in the Eastern Continent and traveled through dozens of countries in two years.

There are big countries and small countries, and they have experienced wars and chaos, and they have also seen the cruelty of the battlefield, and the soldiers defending their homes and countries.

I have also seen many exotic customs, strange people and strange things, legends of fairy families, and some monks flying into the sky and escaping to the ground.

"Cough...cough..." Tian Ge leaned on a cane and let the girl support her. Although she was still dressed as a scholar, she hadn't changed in the past two years, she was still so young.

"I'm old, and it's hard to go on... Thank you for your company along the way!" Tian Ge straightened up with difficulty, and handed the wooden stick in front of her with trembling hands.

"This is the only thing I have... I found it in a big mountain and gave it to you..."

"Cough...cough..."

The girl couldn't bear it. In the past two years, they have experienced a lot together. Although this is short for her, it is an unforgettable memory.

The old man really knows a lot. He can talk about all kinds of things, and even some things are beyond her understanding. At the same time, he is also a very stubborn old man!

A year ago, she secretly took care of the old man's body. Maybe the time limit is approaching, and the medicine that could prolong life for a few years has not had any effect. Now, what should come is still coming!
"Good boy...take it, I am very satisfied to meet a little friend like you in my later years.

Life is like a dream, waking up is nothing! "

As the words fell, Tian Ge's cloudy eyes closed after all, and even the wooden stick in his hand fell to the ground, and he could no longer lift his arms.

"Although I really want to extend your life for decades, the experience of these two years tells me that sometimes, what some people care about is not the length of life, but whether the things they experience are satisfactory!"

Youth is easy to pass away, beauty is easy to grow old, there are too many unsatisfactory things in this world, everyone has a lot of helplessness, but they can't change, there are too few people who can be as free and easy as the old man!

The scholar girl returned to her original appearance, revealing a peerless face, her eyes were crystal clear, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, she was extremely reluctant, that kind of expression made one's heart tremble.

Snow-white and crystal-clear body, beautiful and flawless face, icy muscles and bones, and fluttering dresses, gave her a peerless agility, like a nine-day goddess coming to the world.

Even if you don't say a word, just stand there quietly, like a divine lotus, shining brightly, exuding a holy aura, making people fascinated, and can't help but be deeply fascinated by its ethereal temperament.

The girl sighed, bent down to pick up the cane, and carried the old man's body to the distance.
