I Am Immortal

  Chapter 96

   In the next few days, Qi Wuhuo found a rare leisure.

Every day, I recite Taoism scriptures for that peacock egg, or hold a sword to circulate my breath, and recuperate for Lian Shulan in the village. After that, I will go to the mountains to pick herbs and play with the medicine spirit. When he came back, he took out Tantaixuan's alchemy furnace and started alchemy, accumulating the most basic qi-invigorating elixir, something that restores qi.

   It looks like an ideal Taoist.

  The young Taoist sometimes thinks about it.

   Except that I haven't been able to travel.

Don't be obsessed with practice, the three talents are complete, and they are circulating in the whole body. At this moment, the dryness of the three talents is waiting for them to dissipate. This step, each has its own opportunity, and most of them rely on external things, such as some heavenly bodies. Treasures of material and earth, attuned to one's own essence and vitality, finally condensed into [Xiantian Yiqi] with the characteristics of heaven, material and earth treasures.

   Some also rely on some special circumstances.

  Just like the tiger mountain god, the energy of the earth veins refines the body, removes dryness, and condenses into the exclusive magical powers of the earth.

  Qi Wuhuo is not persistent but just casual.

   Live seriously, eat seriously, walk seriously, live seriously every day, and let the pure foundation of this body flow by itself.

  Although the dryness is still there, he doesn't care much about it.

  I feel that the primordial spirit, vital energy, and primordial essence are flowing and changing in the body, very lively and interesting.

It's just that he is so casual and lives in this place safely, but others feel that something is wrong. When the second son of Mr. Zhou Lingyi's family passed by the courtyard, he saw the young Taoist meditating in the courtyard. I felt like I was not human, but then I saw the young Taoist man opened his eyes and just looked at each other, so my heart skipped a beat, I just forced a smile, and left in a hurry.

   "Strange, strange."

   "How does he know I'm looking at him?"

   All the way back home, I mentioned this matter to others.

His elder brother, and his own daughter-in-law all responded, and this young Taoist came here, and some strange things really happened, the surrounding trees were obviously still withered, and I don't know why, just the Taoist's yard seemed to be full of people. It has already sprouted green, and some people said that when they saw him raise his hand, birds landed on his palm, and he was not afraid. In short, he was not an ordinary person, and before that, it seemed that a rich old man came to visit Yunyun, Also avoided seeing.

The brothers chatted, and it was Laba today. Zhou Lingyi wanted his sons to invite the young Taoist to come to his house, eat a bowl of Laba porridge, and warm himself up by the fire. Hearing the chatter of the sons, he was very unhappy and said: "What do you mean?!"

   "The Daoist priest came all the way to us to treat the diseases of the Lian family."

   "We just let people stay in the hospital, and we didn't even pay for the medicine."

   "You chew people's tongues behind their backs, that's how I taught you?!"

  The old man got angry, and everyone was a little scared and kept silent.

  It's just that the second son is still unconvinced and said: "But, Dad, he is really a bit strange."

   "There are abnormalities, there must be evildoers."

  Zhou Lingyi was so angry that he threw the crutch in his hand and cursed: "Get out!"

   "I, Zhou Lingyi, you stupid man who chews his tongue behind his back, how could I have a son like you."

  The eldest son, who seemed to be much more stable, glanced at his younger brother, supported his furious father, and comforted him not to be angry about this matter, but he still said: "But, father, this Taoist priest, let's have less contact."

  Zhou Lingyi calmed down a little, and then became angry again after hearing the words.

   "Are you like your brother?!"

But the eldest son said: "That's not the case. It's just that my son heard that [people do things, they must ask for something], that Taoist priest does strange things every day, and he is as unrestrained as an outsider, but why did he come here?" What about this Shuiyun Township?"

   "Without desires and demands, the plans are huge."

   "And I heard that there used to be a rich and honored old man who visited Ling Luo in our village, and he had to wait outside the village and entrust a few urchins to lead the conversation. This is not an ordinary person!"

   "My son was once bold, and he searched and inquired in Fangyuan, but there was no such rich person as [Ling Miao]."

   "His status is extremely high, either rich or noble."

   "And I don't know what the picture is."

   "Isn't this matter worthy of vigilance?"

  "After being rich and honored, there will be disasters and catastrophes. Whether it is good or bad, people like us should not be close to it."

"It's okay for Laba to invite him here, but father, you already know that his status is unusual. At this moment, in his opinion, doesn't that mean that we are flattering him? Father, we should avoid suspicion." good."

  His son came slowly, and the old man's anger dissipated unknowingly, leaving only a sigh.

  …………

  Qi Wuhuo pushed open the wooden door.

Amidst the squeaks, the sunlight shook away a little dust. The dust itself floated in the sun, but it was also covered with a layer of gold-like luster. They all have a warm color like gold, and their eyes are as clear as amber, and they said gently: "Excuse me."

  Lian Shulan's complexion has improved a lot. Hearing the voice, he asked, "Is it Daoist Qi?"

  The sick look on the woman's face has dissipated a lot, she just forced a smile and said: "I really bother you."

  The young Taoist asked: "Well, how do you feel?"

   "It's much better, I really thank you, Taoist priest, but, my daughter..." Lian Shulan's tone contained a little pleading.

  It seems to have understood something, but it seems that there is still the last trace of luck.

   That is a very complicated tone.

  The young Taoist closed his eyes and said gently, "Treat the wound first, and I will tell you."

He asked Lian Shulan to wash his eyes with cold spring water, and then sat on the chair. The young Taoist stood in front of her, gently pressing his fingers on the former's head, without distracting thoughts, what he saw was still a layer of white on the eyes Yi, looking serious, the young man said offended, separated the eyelids with the thumb and index finger of his left hand, and then held the white eyes with two fingers, and held the needle in his right hand.

  According to "Cheng Xian Lu", the method of dotting, shooting, and probing is applied.

He also uses his own vitality to maintain his qi, even with Qi Wuhuo's heart, he secretly sharpened it many times, and spent a lot of time helping to adjust it, so he dared to do this. , Lian Shulan just let out an ah, and couldn't help closing her eyes, tears streaming down her face. After a while, she subconsciously opened her eyes, feeling extremely glaring, and immediately closed them again, tears streaming down.

  I can only see a silhouette in the twilight, with a gentle voice:

   "I haven't been able to see anything for a long time, so I still have to close my eyes slowly."

Lian Shulan nodded at first, and then her wrinkled palms, which had been through many things, grasped Qi Wuhuo's sleeve robe with great strength: "I will wait, I will wait... Daoist, Qi Daoist, my daughter, she, she..."

   Right now, there are nothing more than two roads before Qi Wuhuo, or else it is a lie to cover up.

   Otherwise, just tell the truth.

  The young Taoist was silent for a while, then said gently: "I came here to pass on the dying wish for your daughter."

  Lian Shulan opened her mouth.

She didn't have the feeling of extreme emotional breakdown, she just pulled the young Taoist's hand so tenaciously and forcefully just now, and suddenly let go of all her strength, sat there like a log, and then closed her eyes , the already thin body curled up, covered his mouth, and first let out a high-pitched and long sound, like a north wind blowing through a broken window.

   Then followed by a low howl that was depressive and intense, not like crying at all.

  The young Taoist stood here quietly.

It took a long time for Lian Shulan to calm down, her newly healed eyes were a little dark again, she smelled the smell of food, raised her head, and saw the young Taoist cook the food and put it in front of her , the expression on the woman's face was a bit bitter, looking at the food in front of her, she just smiled sadly and said: "...the Taoist priest is so young, he should have never lost a loved one, right?"

   "Why did you come to save me?"

   "How about letting me die here?"

  The young man said humanely: "Yes."

  Lian Shulan was stunned.

  The young Taoist priest who seemed to be living well brought food to her and said, "Father, mother, there are many people."

   "And sir."

   "It's all lost."

   "I am from Jinzhou."

   "Jinzhou..."

Lian Shulan's palms trembled when she thought of the thrilling disaster a few years ago. People said that it was a disaster that fell from the sky, and the flames were running on the ground. After going through such a tragic event, she felt at a loss for a while, Qi Wuhuo put the food in her hand on the table in front of her, and said:

   "Just for a moment, everything I have is gone."

   "First it was my parents, then my friends, and then the husband who took me to escape also passed away."

"I have ten thousand reasons to die. In fact, I have also thought about it. The past days are like a lingering rope, which is wrapped around my neck, and it is getting tighter and tighter. Out of breath, sometimes I wake up from a nightmare, and then subconsciously call my parents, and then realize that I have no parents, so I have to cry alone in the night, I have already sharpened my knife by then. "

  The young Taoist's gaze was on par with the woman's: "It's just that I suddenly remembered when I was doing it."

   "Jinzhou is gone."

   "If I die, how gentle my mother is, and how kind my father is."

   "The reason why Jinzhou is called Jinzhou is because when the spring wind sweeps by, all the flowers in Jinzhou are in full bloom, and it looks as beautiful as the best brocade. Mr. is so strict but kind."

   "All things, only I remember."

  "If I die, their traces in the world will really disappear."

   "If I die, who else will know? Know my parents, know my husband, know the scenery of Jinzhou."

   "So I suddenly don't want to die."

Qi Wuhuo got up, and the young Taoist smiled slightly, and handed over the portrait of the girl he had drawn before to Lian Shulan, and did not try to persuade him, but said: "The years spent with my daughter, and the daughter who wants to The things to be done, these memories, and the traces of your daughter's life, if you die, no one will remember it anymore."

   "Life and death are important matters, and it should be your own choice."

   "I just think it's a pity."

   "After all, only you remember her..."

This sentence was soft, but it seemed to pierce Lian Shulan's heart. She finally cried loudly, hugging her daughter's portrait, and cried hard. The moonlight fell, and he looked at the courtyard, thinking to live, at least he could see the spring flowers blooming, just like himself.

  He went back to his courtyard and packed his things.

When I walked out, the moonlight was clear, and I suddenly felt something. I swept my sleeves and robes, and the words that once carried the imperial edict flowed out in unison. One of the lines lit up, emitting a clear golden light, and it was about to disperse. Obsessed with obsession and the aura of the world of mortals—it must be because the last wish has been fulfilled, so if the part of Lingbao has been tempered.

  The young Taoist seemed to be able to see the appearance of a young girl.

   Obsessed with the world of mortals, you can drive it as much as you can.

  Is this... Lingbao?

He lightly landed his fingers on the words, felt all kinds of possibilities, heard the mournful cry in the wind, but just laughed suddenly, did not take back the treasure, put his right hand behind his back, the young man was clear, and said an order , and then pointed down, erasing his breath.

  Separated the obsession and traces represented by this line of words from his own roll of mortal white paper.

So this line spread out, shattered and turned into the appearance of that girl, as if puzzled, the young Taoist withdrew his hand and said with a gentle smile: "Although there is only a ray of obsession left, although you are not that girl, But you still want to be with 'your' mother."

   "Go."

   Refining the world of mortals into spiritual treasures is the way of spiritual treasures.

   But it is not my way.

  Seeing but not taking, I stick to my heart.

  Not attached.

   is too high.

Contained in that line of text, the girl was stunned by the persistence at that time, as if she couldn't believe it, she opened her mouth, but couldn't speak, she just bowed deeply, her eyes were already red, and the young man said humanely: "Be careful, you After all, it can only be accompanied by her thoughts, but it is still different after all, isn't it? "

   Counting the world of mortals over and over again, counting all the regrets, but Taoists come from the world of mortals, but they will eventually walk away from the world of mortals.

  If so, that's fine.

  The girl kowtowed and choked with obsession: "Thank you, real person."

  The young man received a gift from her, but he just said: "You can't be considered a real person."

   "Go."

Inside the room, Lian Shulan hugged the portrait and wept, as if she wanted to pour out all the sadness of the past. The girl outside the window looked at her speechlessly, her eyes were red, invisible, unspeakable, but at least she could be accompanied; the wind blows past Ah, Zhou Lingyi hit his son with a cane, and decided to invite the young Taoist to his house for a cup of Laba porridge.

   Leaning on crutches, he came to the remote courtyard and knocked on the courtyard, but no one answered.

Pushing open the door, the chain fell to the ground and was not locked at all. The old man was stunned, then walked in quickly, pushed the door open, there was no one in the room, it had been cleaned up very cleanly, and there was a letter on the desk. It is to thank the old man for his hospitality, and wish him a happy new year, everything will be smooth and well, other than that, nothing will be different.

  It was like this when I went.

   As he comes.

Zhou Lingyi finished reading the letter, and was stunned for a long time. She didn't know why, but she felt a sense of loss. It might be a coincidence that the north wind came overnight. The courtyard is full of spring scenery, under the moonlight the young Taoist is carrying a sword box on his back.

  Come after the promise, and leave when the cause and effect are fulfilled.

  With night dew on his shoulders, walking on the trail in the mountains.

  He thought:

  Taoists are like this.

  He smiled lightly and said:

   "I seem to know something, teacher."

   "Taoist priest, that's right."

  PS:

   Case source

   "Mujing Dacheng"·Huang Tingjing—

  The woman is beautiful and virtuous, but only one son died, and her husband became ill because of death worries, and it was hard to find her. The woman wept day and night, and got round nebula and cataract. Tell the gods, the eyes are like life.
