Chapter 1 No regrets

Gui Li was so anxious that he rushed away with all his strength. He walked on the way he was going. In an instant, all the flowers, plants and trees on both sides of the road fell to him, like a gap opening in the sea. The wind that faced him was so fast that his face was blown away.

It hurt, but he didn't care at all

At this moment, in his heart, there was only the figure of Suru in the bamboo forest in the back mountain.

Dahuang's barking was still in his ears, and the extremely manic figure of Gui Li suddenly rose into the sky from the stone steps at the bottom of the mountain, making a sharp sound that broke through the air. The man who rushed up the stone steps was still in the air, but Gui Li's heart was filled with excitement.

I got a sudden cold, I could hardly control myself and almost fell off

On the ground, there were two caves that were more than one person long and wide. There were two piles of soil next to them. The soil was moist, so it must have been dug by Suru just now. Thinking of these two caves,

It turned out that Gui Li's face was pale, his scalp was numb, and Tian Buyi's body was still lying quietly in the same place without moving. But at this moment, Suru, who Gui Li was most worried about, threw herself on Tian Buyi's chest, motionless.

Next to him, Da Huang was barking loudly at Suru.

Gui Li's heart sank. Looking at the slender figure that was in front of him not long ago, he felt timid that he didn't dare to face it and didn't dare to get close. At this time, on the stone steps behind him, his expression slowly appeared.

Pale Lu Xueqi, she stood there from a distance, silently staring at all this

Gui Li suppressed his frantic heartbeat and called out softly: "Master's Wife?"

Suru's body remained motionless, without any response.

Gui Li moved forward slowly, each step seemed very strenuous, and Dahuang's barking sound was still heard. Finally, he got close to Suru's body and whispered in a low voice: "Master's wife... don't scare me.

…”

A slightly trembling hand touched Suru's shoulder. Gui Li gritted his teeth and used force to turn Suru's body over: an unexpected face with a slight smile appeared in front of him.

Suru smiled, and there seemed to be a hint of relief at the corner of her mouth. Maybe she was with her husband.

Her body is still warm, her expression is still quiet and dignified, but she has lost her vitality.

Rhubarb's bark is still barking wildly, but his voice has gradually become hoarse.

Gui Li's legs softened and he sat on the ground. After a moment, his mind went blank.

"Master's wife has also gone..."

This was the only cry in his mind, echoing endlessly in his heart

The next day, the other branches of the Qingyun Sect received the bad news from the Dazhu Peak branch. The leader Tian Buyi and his wife Suru both passed away.

Tian Buyi and his wife had a very important position in the Qingyun Sect. People expected this bad news to shake the whole Qingyun Sect in an instant. Countless fellow sect members came to Dazhu Peak to express their condolences. Tian Linger, who hurried back from Longshou Peak, burst into tears in front of his parents' funeral.

The other elders of various sects cried when they thought about their old friendship. Although they were all accomplished monks, many of them shed tears. Among them, Master Shuiyue, the first of Xiaozhu Peak, who had always been the best with Suru, was the most sad.

In this solemn and sad atmosphere, there are still some abnormal clues. Due to the high status of Tian Buyi and his wife, all the other people are present, except in Changmen Tongtian Peak, although the elders of the previous generation are here.

Quite a few, but the master of one sect, Master Qingyun, Daoxuan Zhenren, is nowhere to be seen. This inevitably shows that Tongtian Peak looks down on the Dazhu Peak lineage.

Song Daren and other Dazhufeng disciples all wore filial piety and had sad faces. They were all respectful when picking up and dropping off their fellow disciples. However, when they saw Xiao Yicai and other eldest disciples, their faces were angry and their words were much colder.

Xiao Yicai and others felt guilty and couldn't say anything. Apart from smiling bitterly, they had no choice but to stand aside and shut up.

The incense is lingering and the cries are endless. This sadness is probably the sadness for the passing of the old friend. It lingers on the top of the originally beautiful and quiet Dazhu Peak. People live for a lifetime, but they don’t know whether they really have spirits after death. If so,

If this is the case, then the old friend is watching all this in the dark, and I wonder what he would think?

But it must be difficult for Na Tian to look sad.

A figure floated down from the direction of Qingyun Mountain. He seemed a little confused. At noon, he entered Heyang City alone.

People were coming and going on the street. Although it was not as lively as in the past, it could be seen that the city was slowly regaining its vitality. Some people died in the catastrophe, while others survived. Some children grew up to be adults, passing through the generations.

interest

Gui Li stood on the street, silently looking at the crowds on the street. Strange people passed by him, like a never-ending wave of waves. He was in a sea of ​​people, and everything around him was people exactly like him. They

Birth, old age, illness, death, living quietly in reincarnation

But why do people want to live?

Gui Li suddenly thought like this

Both his master and his wife passed away, in front of him. After the pain in his heart and lungs, all he had left was numbness and exhaustion.

In this life, he seemed to feel that he was walking a road that was much longer than others, and there was no end in sight for this road.

He walked numbly, and there were sounds coming from outside, such as hawking and shouting. Even if he wanted to, he could hear clearly the voice of a woman teaching a child across the street.

All of this, he felt so far away from himself. In a daze, he only felt that he was no longer like this human being.

Unknowingly, he came to a place, looked up, and saw the familiar restaurant sign. Deep in his heart, something suddenly moved, and he couldn't help but walk in.

There were very few customers in the restaurant. It was obvious that the business here had not recovered from the catastrophe. The waiter came over and asked with a smile: "Sir, do you want to eat or drink?"

Gui Li was silent for a moment, but was speechless for a moment. After coming down from Qingyun Mountain, he was in a daze, as if he couldn't lift his spirits for anything. He felt a bit desperate, just like he had witnessed Bi Qing ten years ago.

Yao blocked the sword for him. However, ten years later, he seems to be less crazy and more tired.

"My guest, my guest?"

The waiter's slightly raised voice woke up Gui Li. He shook his head numbly, walked to the side and sat down in a secluded place.

The waiter came over, still smiling, and said, "Sir, what do you want to eat?"

"Here..." he said slowly, and suddenly something flashed from somewhere deep in his memory, "Do you have any 'Steamed Sleeping Fish' here?"

The waiter was startled for a moment, then laughed and said: "Sir, are you a regular customer of Shanhaiyuan before? This steamed fish was our signature dish at the time, but you can't eat it now."

Gui Li was startled for a moment and said, "Why is this?"

The waiter shrugged his shoulders and said: "It's not the beast monsters that killed Thousand Swords that were to blame. When those beast monsters occupied this place, everything within a radius of hundreds of miles suffered. Even the fish in the river outside the city...

It was also emptied in one roll. To this day, it is rare to see even a fish fry, let alone one that can be used for cooking.”

Gui Liruo felt a little lost, and his face became a little gloomier for some reason. The waiter sighed for a long time before he remembered the business and asked quickly: "Sir, why don't you order some other dishes?"

Gui Li looked away blankly and said casually: "Forget it, I'll bring you some food and drinks."

The waiter nodded, turned around and left. Halfway through, three more people came in at the door. The waiter was surprised and wondered if business had improved today. He hurriedly went to greet them. Unexpectedly, the three people were only here.

After looking around the store, he suddenly saw Gui Li, and one of them called out, with a bit of surprise in his voice.

Gui Li heard a strange voice, and the voice sounded somewhat familiar. He turned around and was startled. It is said that we would never meet again at the end of the world. The three people standing over there were none other than Zhou Xian, Xiao Huan and Wild Dog.

Three people, the one who called out was Zhou Xian

Somehow, seeing these three people, Gui Li suddenly felt a sense of intimacy in his heart for no reason. Although he was not a close friend, his state of mind at the moment was really light-hearted.

I saw the stunned look on Immortal Yiyi's face disappear in an instant, and then he walked over quickly with a smile on his face. The "Immortal Guidance" curtain hanging on a bamboo pole in his hand fluttered in the wind, and he came to Gui Li and laughed.

: "It's really unexpected that we meet here again."

A faint smile appeared on Gui Li's lips. Although it disappeared in an instant, he still said: "Senior, please take a seat."

Zhou Yixian nodded and sat down politely. The waiter stood aside and asked with a smile: "Are you all together?"

Zhou Yixian rolled his eyes at him and said, "Nonsense, can we sit together if we are not together?"

The waiter nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, yes, please take a seat. I will prepare the food and drinks. I will be here soon."

Zhou Yixian couldn't stop laughing, but he pulled the waiter over and casually ordered seven or eight more dishes and three or four bottles of fine wine. The waiter nodded without hesitation and hurriedly went to prepare the food.

Xiaohuan's face on the side was not as happy as her grandfather's. On the contrary, her face looked dark and quite ugly. Especially when she saw Zhou Yixian later asking the waiter to order food and wine, she looked gloomy.

She wanted to speak several times, but she still endured it. After the waiter left, she couldn't help but sneered and said: "Grandpa, you ordered so many dishes. Could it be that you saw your savior here and wanted to treat him well to repay him?"

?"

Zhou Yixian's face darkened and he said angrily: "Xiaohuan, what nonsense are you talking about? What kind of friendship do we have with this brother Gui Li? How can we compare it with these drinks and food?" As he said that, he turned back to Gui Li.

He smiled sharply, then sighed, shook his head and said: "Look at this Heyang City. After the catastrophe, people's hearts are not as old as before, and no one is willing to read fortune tellers. The world is so difficult..."

Xiao Huan's face changed, she glanced at Gui Li, and then gave Zhou Xian a hard look. Her face turned reddish, but Gui Li didn't seem to feel anything. He just said lightly: "Yes, don't worry, I have deceived you back then."

After taking care of you for many days, this time I ask you to thank me."

Xiaohuan's face immediately turned red, but Zhouxian was very pleased. He nodded and said with a smile: "Not bad, not bad, the little boy can be taught."

Wild Dog Taoist looked at Xiao Huan, then at Gui Li, but hesitated to speak.

At this time, the waiter brought several plates of cold dishes and two jugs of wine. Yi Xian took the jug politely and filled it up for everyone present. He raised his glasses and said, "We are all wandering people. We can

It is a rare fate to meet here, so I drank this.”

After that, he raised his head and drank it all, and then shook his head slightly. It seemed that he was quite satisfied with the taste of the wine. Gui Li looked at him and moved the corners of his mouth. He didn't know if he was smiling, but the muscles on his face were

He looked so stiff that even if he smiled, he wouldn't be able to show it. He slowly picked up the wine glass and put it to his lips. Just a moment later, he suddenly sighed, with a bit of helplessness and pain, as if what he was holding in his hand was actually

The most bitter thing, I couldn't drink it, so I slowly put it back on the table

At this time, Xiaohuan, who was sitting next to Yiyi Xian, couldn't help it anymore and stabbed Yiyi Xian and said: "It's a rare fate. I don't know who saw someone else's figure from a distance on the street and yelled.

I caught up and planned to eat for free."

Zhou Xian's face did not change color, he only rolled his eyes at Xiao Huan and said: "Children's words are unbridled, children's words are unbridled"

Gui Li didn't seem to take Xiao Huan's words to heart. He looked as if he had been absent-minded and thinking about something. Xiao Huan had known him for many years, but this was the first time he saw Gui Li look like this. He didn't feel a little worried.

He got up and couldn't help but ask Gui Li: "What's wrong with you? What's the matter?"

Gui Li was silent for a moment, but did not answer Xiao Huan. Instead, he said to Zhou Yixian: "Senior"

Zhou Yixian had just poured himself another glass of wine, and when he heard this he smiled and said, "What's the matter?"

Gui Li's eyes were slightly hollow, and he whispered: "I remember ten years ago, when I was a young man who had just come down from Qingyun Mountain, in this Heyang City, you once told my fortune?"

Both Zhou Xian and Xiao Huan were startled, while Taoist Wild Dog was confused. Naturally, he knew nothing about the old events back then.

You look like, what’s wrong, you’re fine, why do you suddenly ask about what happened back then?”

At this point, a mysterious look suddenly appeared on his face, and he lowered his voice and said to the ghost: "Are you going to say that after these ten years, our fortune-telling money was not good at the beginning, and you want to get back the fortune-telling money?"

"Grandpa" Xiaohuan scolded Yiyi Xian. It seemed that he couldn't bear it anymore. He pushed Yiyi Xian aside and said to Gui Li, "Brother Gui Li, what's on your mind? Maybe... you can tell me

"

Gui Li glanced at Xiao Huan, and there was a rare warmth in the tiredness in his eyes, but he still gently shook his head and said: "I'm fine, I just want to ask the old gentleman a few words."

Zhou Yixian tidied up his clothes and coughed. Immediately, the ancient Taoist immortal style came out. For a moment, the small restaurant hall was like a splendid dungeon, and he was the only one who dominated it.

"Say," he said calmly, "based on our friendship, we can talk about anything, but we still have to give you the life money." At the end of the sentence, he ignored Xiao Huan's flushed face next to him and faced Gui Li.

blinked

Gui Li smiled faintly, and patted Xiao Huan with some comfort, who was about to have a seizure because he felt so embarrassed. Then he turned to Zhou Xian, with a look of confusion on his face, and said: "Senior, you are playing in the world, and you have no knowledge."

Feifan, I have something that makes me confused. I would like to ask, senior, why do you think we are here for the rest of our lives?"

As soon as these words came out, both Xiao Huan and Wild Dog were startled. Looking at Gui Li with a puzzled expression, Zhou Xian frowned. The joking color on his face gradually disappeared, and his expression became serious. He did not answer in vain.

, but after pondering for a long time, he slowly said: "You look abnormal, not as good as before, but have you encountered anything unsatisfactory again?"

Gui Li was silent for a moment and whispered: "My mentor, my wife, passed away a few days ago."

"Ah" Xiaohuan and Taoist Wild Dog were both startled and cried out. Zhouxian Xian frowned, sighed and said in a low voice: "Did Tian Buyi go too? It's a pity?"

Gui Li was indifferent, Zhou Xian closed his eyes slightly, and then looked as usual and said: "No wonder you have a sad look on your face. It's just that separation between life and death is human nature and no one can avoid it. You are an extraordinary person, so why should you indulge in it?

?”

Gui Li's face was filled with pain as he said, "But the death of the two of them is actually closely related to me."

Zhou Yixian said calmly: "In this case, you should pay back what is due to you, so why bother yourself here?"

Gui Li was startled and said nonchalantly: "What should I repay? What should I repay?"

Immortal Zhou Yi said: "Let me ask you, when your master and master passed away, did you feel any resentment towards you?"

Gui Li lowered his head slowly, and after a while he slowly said: "No, my mentor and my wife were so kind to me. Even before their death, they still cared about me and took me, an unfilial and unfilial disciple, into their sect..." The words came later.

, already slightly choked with sobs

Xiaohuan next to her looked at Gui Li's look, and her eyes turned red without realizing it.

Zhou Xian smiled slightly, with a faint light flowing in his eyes, as if he had jumped out of the mundane world and seen through the world, and said: "Then let me ask you again, when your master and master passed away, did you feel any regrets?"

Gui Li hesitated for a moment and slowly shook his head.

Zhou Yixian smiled and said: "That's it. You should be happy for them. Isn't it the best outcome for them to die without regrets?"

Gui Li looked up at Zhou Xian, his lips moved slightly, and his expression was confused.
