Lin Zhao stepped forward, helped the girl up, then took a few steps back to keep a distance, and said: "With a ray of soul attached to a red pine, and finally taking shape through cultivation, it stands to reason that you should be regarded as one of the spirits on the mountain. According to legend,
Song Mei?"
"yes."
The girl pursed her red lips and said softly: "Sword Immortal Mingjian... For so many years, I have not wanted to escape into reincarnation, attached my soul to a pine tree, and practiced with the spiritual energy of the mountain, but I have never done anything harmful to nature.
The thing is, I just want to stay in this world and spend more time with him, even if he doesn't know it, it still means something to me."
"I know."
Lin Zhao said softly: "If Grandpa Qin knows that his wife is still here, he will be very happy, right?"
"But……"
The girl looked at Lin Zhao with tearful eyes and said: "But now I have become a spirit charm. After receiving the aura given by the Sword Immortal, I finally took shape through cultivation, but unexpectedly I returned to my youthful appearance. I really don't know what to do.
Go face him..."
"well……"
Lin Zhao sighed: "Then what do you want to do? Are you still watching him sleep next to the tomb every day? Even with the protection of your spiritual energy, his life will be shortened after all."
The pine-charming girl said softly: "What does the Sword Immortal think...what should I do?"
"No need to call me Sword Immortal."
Lin Zhao waved his hand gently and said: "I am a sword cultivator from the north. My name is Lin Zhao. I encountered heavy rain while on the way. By chance, I took shelter from the rain at Grandpa Qin's place. He took out the best sword at home.
Dongxi cooked a meal for me and Xu Ming'an. It was the most delicious dish I have ever eaten. I'm afraid I will never forget it in my life. Although it was just a meal, it was far more than just a meal to Lin Zhao.
It's just a favor, so I won't sit idly by when it comes to Grandpa Qin. You can tell me what you have planned and I will try my best to help."
"Lin Zhao..."
The Song Mei girl pursed her red lips and said: "Actually, I don't know what kind of plan I should have. I just want to stay with him. One more day is one more day. After I leave, every time I think of him being alone.
As long as I stay in this world, I will feel like my heart is being twisted."
Lin Zhao frowned and said: "If you go to see him in your current appearance, Grandpa Qin may not dare to keep you. After all, men and women cannot be intimate. You are still so young, but if you change into another spirit, or a
It would not be good for a hare, a fox or something, to repay the favor later. If Grandpa Qin accepted you, it would be a betrayal of who you were. If he had not accepted you, you would still not be able to stay with her."
There were tears in the girl's eyes: "What should I do?"
"I do not know either……"
Lin Zhao sighed: "Although I am considered a golden elixir swordsman to you, in fact, I don't know many of the methods and magical powers myself, and I have no control over them at all."
"Master Lin Zhao..."
The girl gritted her teeth and said softly: "Maybe it can be like this. I have now refined a red pine tree and become the legendary pine charm. I have my own essence and destiny, so I have transformed into the young appearance I am today.
Maybe you can use your sword to cut off my life, leaving only the last bit. This will not only make my appearance look older, but also shorten my lifespan. When he dies, I will go with him.
.”
"Does it have to be this way?"
Lin Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly: "You have to know that the road to reach heaven is not easy. The fact that you can embark on this road is something that many people never dream of doing. Are you going to give up so easily?"
The girl nodded: "Yes, I am willing to give up!"
The next moment, she opened her hands, and wisps of Song Mei's fate emerged from her heart, with more than ten of them.
"..."
Lin Zhao frowned and slowly pulled out his sword Liquan, but he still hesitated. Some things should not be decided by him. If he cut off Song Mei's fate at this time, it would be a kind of transgression. Many mountains
Once a monk attains the Tao, his state of mind will undergo a huge change. He feels that he can cover the sky with one hand and control the fate of others, but Lin Zhao can't do that. He has never been that kind of person.
"never mind."
Lin Zhao sighed, looked to the north, and said, "Ling Yu, I know you must be eavesdropping. Come over here."
"Haha~~~"
In the distance, Gu Lingyu's laughter came: "I know, little uncle!"
Not long after, a gentle breeze and drizzle drifted from the north. It was very fast. In an instant, it arrived in front of Lin Zhao and transformed into an extremely elegant young scholar. It was Gu Lingyu, who had the aura of a Confucian saint. After all, he was at the pinnacle of the Twelve Realms.
It is already quite rare to be a scholar. What is even more rare is that Gu Lingyu has a mellow temperament, and there is indeed a trace of a Confucian sage in him.
"..."
The Song Mei girl was stunned on the spot. The scholar was so awe-inspiring and upright, and his level was too high. The heavy pressure of the avenue almost instantly made Song Mei unable to breathe.
"Little uncle."
Gu Lingyu bowed to Lin Zhao respectfully and said with a smile: "What do you need Lingyu to do?"
“Is there a way to have both in this world?”
Lin Zhao said in a deep voice: "My mind is very confused right now and I have no clue. Can you help me sort it out?"
"Um."
Gu Lingyu smiled slightly: "What the young master-uncle is worried about is nothing more than how the two of them get along, how to recognize each other, and what direction they should go in the future. Should we live, grow old, sick, and die together, or should we cultivate and seek the Tao together?"
"Well, it is indeed such a problem."
"actually."
Gu Lingyu said: "The fate between the two seems to be unfinished. After one of them dies, the marriage line between the two is broken. If this is the case, why not create a new marriage line for them? Lingyu can use his methods to tie it again.
A bridge of life allows two people to share their life span. The young master draws his sword and cuts off Song Mei's thread of immortality, causing her appearance to age. In this way, the two of them can still be together and live for a long, long time. What's wrong with that?"
"Is it really that simple?" Lin Zhaoxiao asked.
"Um."
Gu Lingyu said: "Take the marriage line first?"
"OK!"
The next moment, Gu Lingyu took out a pen and paper, and made a few strokes in the air with "swish, swish, swish". Suddenly the golden paper burned up in the air, and the words "Ouch" came from the cracks in the rocks not far away.
"Ouch!" The voice came from an old man in gray robes. The old man's face was very kind, and more importantly, there was a bright moon on one of his shoulders.
"I'm getting old..."
He crawled up to Gu Lingyu and said, "Does the Confucian saint want the young man to pull strings?"
"Um."
Gu Lingyu smiled and said, "Thank you!"
"Yue Lao?"
Lin Zhao's jaw almost hit the ground. Is this okay?!
With quick movements, Yue Lao pulled out a red thread from his sleeve and quickly tied it to the finger of Song Mei Girl. He immediately pulled the other end and rushed down the mountain like a gust of wind, wrapping around one of Old Man Qin's fingers on the mountainside.
, and then came back to life. Gu Lingyu naturally smiled and nodded, crushed a golden mullet tree and rewarded Yue Lao with money, and then wrote a Confucian and Taoist edict to send away this very special and mysterious human god.
"It's my turn."
Gu Lingyu put his index finger and middle finger together, and lightly touched Song Mei's eyebrows. Immediately, his fingertips dragged out a long and shining bridge. He raised his hand and waved towards the bottom of the mountain. Suddenly, the other end of the long bridge was filled with the beauty of the world.
Between the eyebrows of the walking old man Qin, a bridge of life sharing life is completed.
"Uncle Junior, it's your turn."
Gu Lingyu opened her five fingers and pulled out a thread of longevity from Song Mei's life, and said with a smile: "If you cut off the thread of longevity, her appearance will become aging. Song Mei, you have decided, this is cut off."
You will never be able to come back after that, and you will become very old like your husband."
"good!"
The girl smiled and nodded: "Master Lin Zhao, behead him!"
"Um."
Lin Zhao raised his hand and swung his sword, and Song Mei's figure suddenly became older little by little. In the blink of an eye, she looked like an old woman of about sixty years old, but her temperament was quite good, not quite like the one in the mountains.
The appearance of an old woman.
"okay."
Lin Zhao smiled: "Lingyu, thank you for your hard work. Come back."
"Well, let's go."
Gu Lingyu bowed and turned into a breeze and flew away.
…
Early morning.
After Lin Zhao and Xu Mingan settled Old Qin, they took Wang Yue away side by side at night.
And shortly after Lin Zhao and others left.
"Dong dong dong~~~"
There was a light knock on the wooden door.
"Who?"
Old Qin got up from the bed and frowned.
"Old man, open the door for me." A familiar voice came from outside.
For a moment, Old Man Qin trembled all over. Regardless of whether it was true or not, he would definitely open the door. He was the best person to him in the world. Even if he turned into a ghost, he would not be afraid at all.
"Squeak~~"
When he opened the door, under the moonlight, a familiar face appeared in front of him. Old Qin suddenly became petrified and stood there blankly. In the past ten years and many nights, he had dreamed a thousand times.
I had seen this scene before my eyes once, but now that it was really in front of my eyes, Old Man Qin couldn't believe it.
"Old woman..."
He raised his hand and gently touched the other person's wrinkled cheek, with tears streaming down his face: "Is it you? Is it true?"
…
Mountain.
After climbing over a mountain, Lin Zhao and Xu Mingan sped up their pace a little, trying to get to the next place to stay before dawn. They wasted too much time last night.
Beside Lin Zhao, Wang Yue's body was floating in the air, her mouth full of smiles. Wang Yue actually saw everything that happened between Old Man Qin and his wife. She was very happy. She was happy for Old Man Qin and his wife.
I even feel that Brother Lin Zhao has never been as handsome and dashing as he is today. All the dashing swordsmen in the world combined cannot be half as handsome as my brother Lin Zhao!
Xu Ming'an carried the Zhenwu Sword on his back, walked swiftly and silently.
Lin Zhao carried two swords on his back and walked on the mountain road with the same skill.
Doing good deeds without asking for reward!
Suddenly, Lin Zhao's eyes fell on the second Yunjian Lake, and he saw that the cracks in Feijian Haoran had healed a lot again, and now only the cracks of less than an inch were left.
For a moment, Lin Zhao felt relieved. What he had done was equivalent to getting Mr. Qin's nod. Is there anything in the world that is more worthy of happiness than this?
