I Am Immortal

Chapter 113: Qi Wuhuo, it should be so!

Chapter 113 Qi Wuhuo, as it is!

The voice fell, but there was no answer. The young king walked forward cautiously. The room was quite quiet and clean, except for a bed, a table, a piano, and a bookshelf. There were many scattered fragments of writing. And a young girl, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with silk hair, clear eyebrows, big and soft eyes, especially black and bright pupils, is playing a chess, looking at the endgame, quiet for a long time, but still can't make a move.

The voice is clear but not cold, just said:

"It's a bit late to come back."

"Did you see those two Taoists from Lianyang Temple?"

The young county king smiled and said: "Yes, sister, you are really good at predicting things."

"It's just like what you said, sister!"

"Those two also saw the changes in the city, so they went to sprinkle realgar water everywhere in the city, but it was very powerful. He didn't use realgar water today, but brought some medicines to dispel cold and strengthen Qi to help the people. Well, speaking of it, I really didn't expect that in the territory of Zhongzhou, there are other people who have the same judgment as your sister."

"That little Taoist is also very interesting."

"It's too late to chat for a while."

The young girl’s expression remained restrained, and she simply replied:

"It's a good thing."

The young man watched her play chess. He also learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since he was a child, and he recognized that this is the famous work of the dragon. From this chess game, he could know that she was still worried about their current situation, so he hesitated. After a long time, he still said:

"Sister, why... my father has passed away from illness, and we finally got out of the capital. We should have kept a low profile and not done anything. Now my sister Ni is still opening a porridge shed to contact the city officials and let them sprinkle realgar water."

"I know sister, you are doing this to seek [virtuous name], so that you can get the approval of [people's hearts] and the Qing Party."

"But what's the use now?"

"It will only make Second Uncle firm in his determination to kill us."

Qiong Yu considered the chess game and asked, "Do you think it's for seeking fame and winning hearts?"

The young prince said: "Isn't it?"

The girl didn't answer, after all the moves, this game of chess finally went from [Sleeping Dragon] to [Slaying Dragon], so she sighed, got up and said: "The game is closed." The young king sat on his knees obediently, and then extended his hand Tidy up the chess game, put away the black and white chess pieces, and put them back into the chess basket.

Qiongyu coughed a few times, and seemed to be in particularly bad health. Sitting next to the heater, she answered the question from the young prince, saying:

"Of course not because of the virtuous name."

"Just to save people."

"You have overcomplicated the problem."

The young county king was stunned: "Ah?"

Qiongyu said: "As you said, if we are too early, we may attract the second uncle's murder; but if we don't do it, this time the people will suffer from many disasters and diseases, and the winter will be sad. We just It’s just to take some risks, but these people are really at risk of getting sick or even dying.”

“Since you have seen this and have the opportunity to change all this, why not do it?”

"The way of immortality is precious, and so is the way of humanity."

“At the end of the day, there is no such thing as being aboveboard. Even if there is a chance to take off in the future, I will only take care of myself.”

The girl looked at her younger brother, and she seemed still not convinced when she saw him. She wanted to say something like [a body of a thousand gold can't sit down], and asked calmly, saying:

"Besides, do you think that if we are more well-behaved, then the second uncle will let us go?"

So the young county king became dumb.

The girl stretched out her hand to get the hairpin, and fiddled with the animal head incense burner next to her. Her wrist was white, like frost and snow, and her fingers were especially slender.

For a while, there were only small sounds in the room.

The young county king was quiet for a while, somewhat unconvinced, and said: "These words."

"When you were talking to that Master Qi in the dream again, did that Master say it?"

The girl replied: "Not only listening, but also watching and thinking."

"He talked to me, and I saw what he did, and I was thinking about it."

"Then believe what he says."

"The ancients said that listening to one side will make you dark, and listening to both will make you bright, but it is actually wrong."

"Everything, if you don't see it with your own eyes and experience it for yourself, you will never understand it anyway."

The young county king puffed up his chest, and said confidently and confidently: "If you listen to one side, you will be dark, so can I not read?"

Qiong Yu replied concisely: "No."

The young county king fell down, propping his chin in a daze for a while, he really didn’t want to read a book, compared to reading a book, it’s a wonderful enjoyment to think about it in a daze, and finally asked a question that had been squeezed in his heart for a long time. Asked the question, said: "So, sister, do you want to find Mr. Qi? Is it because he is a great talent that you want to hire him?"

Qiongyu put down the hairpin in her hand.

Picked up a pen on the table, tapped the boy's forehead, made a crisp sound, then put down the pen, said:

"Wrong again."

"Large tools are free from success."

"All the great talents in the world are proud, and it is extremely fortunate to be friends."

"Who can control them? Don't think so."

Her voice was a little harsher. Seeing her younger brother agreeing, she nodded, her voice paused, and she replied:

"I looked for him only because I had just woken up from a dream at that time, and he was the only thing I could remember clearly. It was really a nightmare experience... It took me a few days to figure it out , What is a dream, what is reality, did I see the mountain **** Qiongyu in my dream, or did the mountain **** Qiongyu dream of herself when she was still a teenager before she fell."

"Still in a coma, he faced his father's death and his younger brother fell into the lake."

"Originally, I was poisoned to death next."

“I have no choice but to try.”

The young king fell silent.

That period of time was really difficult.

Because the elder sister predicted in advance, the younger brother was saved from falling into the lake and dying.

Afterwards, under the orders of his sister, it took more than half a year for them to escape from the imperial city with the help of the Cui family. In the past year, he watched with his own eyes that his sister gradually changed from a laughing and playful character to a... With a quiet and introverted appearance, most of the time he just peacefully watched the fallen leaves outside the window with a pair of eyes.

When she left the capital, she sighed, pointed to the ordinary mountain, and said, "I really want to go to Dingyan Peak again."

"Fuqin watching the fallen leaves fly into the flowing water."

"Unfortunately, no more."

At that time, he couldn't understand his sister's feelings, but now he seems to be able to understand a little bit.

Qiong Yu said: "As for me looking for Master Qi, it's only because most of the dreams are vague, but things related to him are especially clear."

"If you can find it, you will know that dreams are not dreams."

"A small dream in a dream is a big dream in life."

"People travel in the world, like walking in a big dream, all of a sudden."

The young king of the county was confused and asked curiously, "Then why didn't you look for it again?"

"Do you know that he is just a dream?"

"No, I just know what he's doing, so if I know where I'm from, I'm sure I won't be able to find him."

"That's why I stopped."

Qiongyu replied:

"It seems that because of his past, he always wanted to figure out some things in his dreams, and he also wanted to do a lot of things for the people. He has always been quiet in his life. If he doesn't get married, he won't be disturbed by rich and powerful families. As he said, Only those who have no father, no mother, no wife, no children, can boldly do something."

"When you are an official in the capital, and you are pulled into their rules by a high-ranking family, then you simply give up your noble status, go out to be an official, and do practical things for the people of the place."

"The path of civil servants is checked and balanced."

"Then become a military officer and crusade against the kingdom of demons."

"Mr. who was sent down to teach, was locked up when he had nothing to do, so he went to write books and do biographies."

The young king of the county held his chin, looked at his sister, and talked about the young man in his dream from her perspective.

From these words, it seems that I really saw the appearance of such a young man with a straight back walking step by step in the world of mortals.

Look at him from a young scholar to a young official, and then he will enter the prime minister, and finally grow old.

Suddenly sighed with emotion, and asked: "Speaking of which, sister, Mr. Qi in your mouth, has he achieved what he wanted to do?"

Qiong Yu shook her head:

"No, it seems that it was the limitation of that dream, he couldn't figure out what he wanted to know."

The young county king was surprised, and asked again: "What about the wish to do something for the people?"

"Neither."

"In the end, he was 'set up' by his fame, and he couldn't do much anymore. He became a decoration for court singing and dancing."

The king of the county said doubtfully: "The one who stopped him was..."

His voice paused, and suddenly he understood.

The only one standing in front of him is the emperor.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally said, "He can't avoid this path."

"It's a pity Master Qi."

"So, does my sister think he gave up?"

"It's good to be free from now on."

The young county king saw his sister looking at him with regretful and pitiful eyes like a fool, and said:

"Wrong again."

Her sleeves were drooping, and in her tone, there was a kind of trust in that friend, as if she had confidence in herself, and said:

"give up?"

"No, he has been going all the way and never gave up. If the Beijing officials can't do it, they will be transferred to the outside. If the civilian officials can't do it, they will be a military officer. If the officials can't do it, please resign."

"With his personality, when he finds that the path of being an official cannot achieve what he wants to do."

"Just one way."

"If he is as I expected, he should have embarked on the road of cultivation."

"He will look up what he wants to know, and he will save those people who are worth saving."

"Since that's the case, the time is long and the road is difficult. Neither he nor I will give up easily. As long as we don't die, we will meet again on the left side of the road one day. Why bother to search now?"

The flame of the incense burner was slightly reflected in the girl's eyes, and she suddenly asked: "Well, so, let me test you, what can you know from the experience of the master? Can you gain anything from this time? My purpose of saving people? Write an article based on what Master Qi would do if he also remembered the things in the dream.”

"Let me see your progress."

The expression of the young county king slowly froze.

ah? ? !

The girl lowered her eyes flatly and said, "Go read."

"One hour."

"ah?"

"Two hours."

"Ah, good good!"

So the young county king left obediently. Qiongyu pulled out a hairpin from the hairpin without using the chopsticks next to her. Many small holes were poked out of the ashes, reaching the place where the fine charcoal was buried, and the little fire that had been extinguished suddenly came alive again, and the warmth flowed out.

One end of the wooden hairpin was burnt and reddened, exuding a woody fragrance.

The girl suddenly smiled.

Turning around when she stood up, the skirt swayed like a lotus flower.

She only held the wooden hairpin, and wrote down words with the burning red end.

In one go—

"The king's heart is like iron, mending the cracks in the sky."

The girl smiled slightly, looked at her own brushwork, and then dropped the wooden hairpin, her black hair falling like a waterfall.

Regardless of the traces of charcoal stained on the white sleeve robe, he just said calmly:

"Qi Wuhuo."

"As it is."

…………

After Qi Wuhuo's peacock eggs hatched, he ate and drank enough, and fell asleep directly.

The young Taoist put it in a hidden pocket in his sleeve robe, and walked for a day, but he still hadn't woken up. The little Taoist Mingxin brought some meat porridge to his master. The old Taoist first thanked him with a smile, and touched the little Taoist pointing at the drenched Taoist robe that was soiled by the rain and dirty water, he pulled out an old bamboo pole and said, "Does the little Taoist's buttocks itch?"

"Do you know how strong my bamboo stick is?"

"Would you like to try my 'Stir-Fried Pork Shredded with Bamboo Strips' with rump meat?"

The young Taoist listened not far away, but the old Taoist just took a bamboo stick and touched the young Taoist Mingxin's palm a few times, neither light nor heavy, and then pulled the little Taoist to tell him what to do, how to do it, It's okay to have dirty clothes, but what if you catch a cold? Quite a chattering voice.

Qi Wuhuo thought of his past experiences.

Parents, sir, teacher.

In the distance is the sound of the old Taoist's warning.

The young Taoist in the scripture building was staring at the moon that was about to full moon in a daze, thinking that his parents scolded him once, and he would also tread water to play when he was a child. Usually, his father had a dark face and his mother was beside him. Persuasion, obviously she was still very angry before, but when father made a gesture to hit him, mother suddenly became anxious, and started to get angry at father, but when she was anxious, she often said—

Be gentle, don't hurt the child.

Oh, get out of the way, clumsy, get out of the way, I'll hit you.

The young man thought of his mother's anxious and angry appearance at that time, and suddenly burst out laughing.

Then the smile stopped, slowly disappeared, and he was in a daze.

Listening to the chatter in the distance.

I don't know why I feel a little uncomfortable.

Actually only a little bit, really only a little bit.

Lie down on the table.

Buried himself in his arms and stayed quietly.

Ah, the moonlight is so beautiful... It's time for the full moon,

It's time for a reunion.

Qi Wuhuo thought.
