This is a pure place to escape from the world. In the season of lush vegetation, this place can be described as a thousand miles away. Now it is the cold winter, and the mountains and rocks are full of desolation. Only withered and yellow branches and willows are sparsely spread here. There are
The cold-resistant grass is still green, but with this cold green color occupying the field of vision, there is still a sense of depression and desolation.
"How long has it been since we did something like this together?"
Lord Jiyue asked. Master Lintian walked in front of him and used his unsheathed sword to push aside the lush grass. Of course he knew that Lord Jiyue could "see" everything, but he didn't use his eyes.
As long as he moves around, the invisible wind will help him find the way. There is something ahead,
He can also faithfully feedback the outlines to his body. He can also smell the fragrance of flowers and plants and identify their types - he can even recognize more varieties than ordinary people. In addition to flowers, plants, people, and animals,
Even inorganic objects such as stones, snowflakes and clear springs can be distinguished by him.
However, even so, Master Lintian will still try his best to do things for him that seem to be convenient.
"It's been a long time, right? But we are always busy, and we don't feel that the time is long and boring. Although I am not impermanent, I have already known about your hard work."
"You should have ascended to enlightenment and enjoyed your happiness long ago." Lord Jiyue smiled, "But you still want to stay in this world and help this group of people, even me."
"I know you don't need it, but whether I do it or not is my business."
"You know? Ordinary people with flaws don't like anyone to help. If they can do it themselves, they will feel that you look down on them and regard them as aliens."
"I certainly know what to do with such people. When I was very young, I would probably do my best. It doesn't matter. I know you won't hate it, so I will implement my principles. I should also thank you.
You, give me this chance to persist."
"This is your freedom. You are always kind...it's still the same after so many years, which is a wonder."
"A long time will wear away people's minds. If you don't practice the immortal way with the correct method, you will become crazy and become a demon."
"Yeah, like..."
- Just like the people we are going to meet.
The two of them didn't speak and walked in silence for a while. The mountain road was bumpy, but their skills were excellent. The height of several feet was just a matter of falling together. If there were any obstacles, they could be easily removed or bypassed.
Open. After walking like this for a while, maybe I felt that the road was too quiet, and Master Lintian spoke again.
"To this day, I still cannot go to Heaven."
"Well, I've almost guessed it. You have too much attachment to the world of mortals, and there are too many things in this world that you can't let go of. You care too much and your obsession is too deep, so you can't become an immortal and ascend like this. Sometimes, I seriously
I see the shadow of Mutsuki-kun in you."
"I'm still far from him." Master Lintian joked, "Look, that gentleman has never invited me to the underworld."
"How can I insist on taking your life!" Mr. Jiyue also laughed. But the smile was only temporary. It appeared for a moment and then turned serious. "Besides, a good person like you should not be in the mortal world.
Bound by trivial matters. If you are a good person, you will have to do it because of
If your good deeds are restricted in this chaotic world, you will end up with no good rewards. Your existence has already helped the underworld a lot, and you should not be constrained by your status as the six realms of impermanence. Furthermore, these positions should always be reserved.
To the dead who are more suitable."
"She claimed that her end was approaching, so that gentleman—"
"Well, this is not our main purpose. It's just...just asking casually."
"Yes." Master Lintian sighed slightly, "Business matters are more important."
What they are looking for is someone who is keen on traveling around the world. But these days, she always lives in seclusion in such a pure place, and will not move around unless there is something important. Initially, only Mutsuki-kun was the only one who knew this place.
.Mu Yuejun told Jiyue Lord, and Jiyue Lord told Lintian Master, but the secret came to an abrupt end when it came to the latter.
Why is Master Lintian? He is not the Six Paths Impermanence. But for Muyue Lord and Jiyue Lord, there are reasons that can be told to him. He was once a disciple of Lingxiaoguan, and the person he is looking for is related to Lingxiaoguan
They are inextricably linked. Although there is really no friendship to talk about after so many years, sometimes some things serve as invisible connections, which can always make it easier for people to accept.
That's right...the person I'm looking for is Guixiangu.
The sky is still very blue at the end of the day, but the winter sunshine really has no temperature. Everything is clear and cold, especially next to the mountain stream. The vegetation in this area is relatively abundant, which is also due to the continuous flow of water all year round. The geography of this mountain
Located in the south, the temperature even in winter is warmer than elsewhere. Although the mountain is very high,
But the special spiritual field kept it tenacious, and the temperature did not drop with the increase in altitude. They stepped on the rocks exposed by the largest river, so fast that the fish in the water could not detect them. Those loose
The stone only trembled slightly, and the shallow ripples did not even move the shrimps and crabs below.
In such a winter, there are still such little lives.
The end of the river at this stage is a waterfall. This is not a majestic and magnificent waterfall. Even in the middle of summer when the water flow is fast, it is only so wide. Of course, the crashing sound is still pleasant to the ears, but
It is not wide, it just hangs high. The water at the lower end has stirred up into a patch of white flowers, airtight, like a flowing wall.
"Is it right here?"
"Here," Lord Jiyue said, "I heard someone sighing under the turbulent water."
Master Lintian was not in a hurry to go in. He stretched out his hand and stopped Lord Jiyue.
"Splashes have no shadows."
"Well, it is indeed her who is here, there can be no second person."
"Has she set up a barrier?" Lin Shanhai looked at the waterfall cautiously, "If you are hit by such shadowless water, you may be cut into holes and bloody."
Lord Jiyue shrugged slightly: "She is exactly this kind of person. It's easy to find her, but it's harder than climbing to the sky to see her. That's how the ghost fairy girl comes and goes without a trace.
A legendary figure of the generation, hahaha.”
But this waterfall is indeed a quiet place. There is an empty cave inside, and the special structure minimizes the sound of the waterfall. A candle is lit in the cave, emitting a blue light.
It has been burning here for a long time, and if nothing unexpected happens, it can continue to burn.
Guixiangu was sitting at the stone table, with pen and paper on the table. She folded a letter she had written over and over again, pinched the corners, and placed the letter on top of the candle. The letter paper ignited with a layer of bright blue.
The colored flames were swallowed up in an instant. At the same time, a melodious music penetrated the layers of water curtains, echoed and circled in the twists and turns of the cave, and finally landed here. Even the unmoving flames danced gracefully.
Dance, making her shadow flicker like a ghost.
The two came.
When they appeared in front of Guixiangu, she didn't have many surprises.
"The joy of dividing water is really yours." Guixiangu chuckled. I don't know if it was because the environment was a bit gloomy, but it always sounded a bit scary. "It's hard to blame your fleshless hands."
"It's not difficult, but it's not as difficult as meeting you."
The two of them sat opposite Guixiangu, both straightening their bodies.
"Now, you guys, there's no need to say anything or be polite." Guixiangu spoke first, catching the two of them by surprise. "I'll put my words up front. You might as well guess why I did this.
Live here forever?"
"Perhaps, this place is rich in spiritual power, and you want to... cultivate yourself?"
Lin Shanhai knew that what he said was not the correct answer. But apart from that, he couldn't think of anything else. There must be other reasons for Guixiangu to ask such a question. Lord Jiyue didn't say a word, he just waited quietly.
Answer.
"My days are numbered."
"...How could it be?"
Lin Shanhai was very surprised. He felt that Guixiangu was joking to him. He glanced at Jiyue Jun, but found that he looked serious and showed no suspicion. Did he notice something, or did he not think that Guixiangu was lying?
She is a person who likes to joke, but in this kind of thing, after all, she is not...
"This is what the hexagram shows. Don't be sad, this day will come sooner or later. But as you can see, I am still full of energy and jumping very lively... I think there must be an accident, and even I can't stop it.
. That’s all, I can accept it calmly. If I don’t want you to come, you will never be able to break through the barrier. But since I don’t have much to live for, why not let you in and see how you treat this world...
Do you still think there is any room for turning the tide?"
"Then, I believe your hexagram will definitely tell you the question we want to explore. But before that..." Mr. Jiyue took a deep breath of the air-conditioning in the cave, "I was thinking that you and I might be together.
In the near future... there is a possibility of working together."
"It's impossible, it's impossible," Guixiangu waved her hands repeatedly, "I have always liked a free life, so I don't want to work in vain for the underworld. Well, if you want to say these indifferent things, please shut up.
It doesn't matter what you want to ask, I'm not interested in hearing it either. It's not as good as the result of this hexagram... I'll just tell you in advance."
Did she already calculate the divination before asking the question? But Lin Shanhai was still a little worried. Because he thought of a possibility: his life was not long, perhaps because of his status as a human being. He and Lord Jiyue knew very well that
Guixiangu is a key target of suspicion - suspicion of the possibility of becoming an evil angel.
Life as a human ends, and life as a monster begins... Isn't this scene very familiar?
"You guys, listen carefully," Guixiangu pressed her finger on the stone table, "Six Path Divine Weapons... are swords that must not be left to future generations. Not even one of them can be left behind! All of them are disasters... It is precisely because
Their presence disturbs the minds of mortals. You should know better than anyone else, right?"
Master Lintian was surprised again: he had never thought about this problem before.
"But if it is properly preserved and put to good use..."
