It has been three days since Tian Buyi's body was returned to Dazhu Peak by Gui Li, but Su Ru still strangely prevented the disciples of Dazhu Peak from reporting the bad news to their fellow sects. This not only made Song Daren and others feel great sorrow and pain
Apart from that, I felt inexplicable, and even Gui Li was a little surprised.
However, no one dared to talk about this to Suru face to face. Facing her husband who was resting in the Shoujing Hall and using immortal treasures to protect his body, Su Ru's face was full of sorrow and sorrow, which made Zong Ren speechless.
Dazhufeng's lineage is thin, and they have always kept a low profile in the Qingyun Sect. If there is nothing important, no one will come to this secluded mountain. So much so that Dazhufeng held a public memorial ceremony in the Shoujing Hall for three days, and actually
No one in Qingyun Sect noticed it.
But early this morning, an outsider finally came and quietly landed on Dazhu Peak. Dressed in white like snow, floating out of the dust, it was Lu Xueqi.
A faint blue ray of light flashed by, aura of auspiciousness lingered gently, and the sky was quietly radiating brilliance in her white hands. Lu Xueqi looked around silently, only to see the green mountains and green waters, as quiet as ever, nothing like anything else.
Strangely, the sadness here can only be seen when there are two white mourning curtains hanging on both sides of the silent hall in front.
She silently looked at the white mourning curtain for a while, and then walked towards the Shou Jing Hall. Not long after they noticed the movement, Song Daren and others walked out of the Shou Jing Hall in mourning clothes, with a hint of surprise on their faces, and at the same time,
It's a bit embarrassing.
After seeing clearly that the person who came was Lu Xueqi and that she was alone, Song Daren and others visibly let out a sigh of relief.
Lu Xueqi bowed her hands and said calmly: "Lu Xueqi, a disciple of Xiaozhufeng, has met Senior Brother Song and all the senior brothers.";
Song Daren and Wu Dayi, He Dazhi and others who were standing behind him did not dare to neglect and returned the courtesy one after another. Then Song Daren gave a bitter smile and said: "Why did Junior Sister Lu come to our place? Oh, this makes you laugh..."
";
Lu Xueqi didn't have the slightest smile on her face. Instead, she looked serious and mournful. She was silent for a moment and said: "!"
With a cry, Xue Qi was extremely grateful.!";
Song Daren and others looked at each other, pondered for a moment, and then Song Daren said: "Junior Sister Lu is so polite. After all, you are not an outsider, eh!";
He suddenly paused, and Lu Xueqi's face seemed to be red for no reason. Song Daren was a little embarrassed, smiled and took him over, saying: "That's it, Master Wife is not here right now. Early this morning,
So she went to Houshan Bamboo Forest alone and returned!";
He spoke for a while, with a look of grief on his face, and whispered: "Master's wife, she was always too sad about Master's fault, stabbed and took Master's body away, and told me that she would bury Master alone."
;
Lu Xueqi frowned, feeling a little uneasy in her heart. This situation seemed even stranger than she had expected before arriving. She didn't care about alarming others. How could Suru not let her biological daughter Tian Linger know about it, so Suru wanted to bury Tian Buyi alone?
She thought about it, pondered for a moment, and finally asked Song Daren: "Then, where is that person?!"
Song Daren was startled at first, but after looking at Lu Xueqi's face, and the always smart He Dazhi behind him pulling his sleeves, he understood him immediately, and he hesitated and said:!
";Junior brother, he has also gone to the back mountain.!";
Lu Xueqi was slightly surprised and raised her eyes to look at Song Daren. Song Daren gave a wry smile and said: "My wife didn't allow us to follow, so she only asked my junior brother to go with her."
Lu Xueqi remained silent. After a moment, she saluted Song Daren and others and said: "Thank you all senior brothers. In this case, I will not delay you any more. I will come back to pay homage to Senior Uncle Tian later."
Song Daren and others returned the gift. Song Daren hesitated for a moment and said: "Junior sister Lu, there are many twists and turns in things here. I hope you can do that!"
Before Song Daren had finished speaking, Lu Xueqi had already said: "I know, please don't worry, Senior Brother Song, Xueqi will never reveal a word to outsiders.";
Song Daren nodded and stopped talking. Lu Xueqi stopped talking and turned to leave.
After watching the white figure leave, Wu Dayi took a step forward and said: "Elder brother, I think she is probably going to the back mountain. Is this okay?!"
He Dazhi who was standing next to him said calmly: "Where is Shi Duban? This junior sister Lu must definitely go to the back mountain to have a look. She came to Dazhu Peak today, and she must have been ordered by Junior Shuiyue of Xiaozhu Peak.
If she doesn’t figure out Master’s wife’s situation, it will be difficult for her to explain to Master Shuiyue when she goes back.”;
Song Daren was silent for a moment and said: "It doesn't matter if she has gone, I always feel that Master's Wife has been in a sad state these past few days, and she has been worried that something bad will happen. But Master's Wife doesn't allow us to follow, and we can't disobey her."
Meaning. Although Lao Qi followed, we also know that if Master’s wife really asked Lao Qi to leave, with Lao Qi’s temperament, he always respects Master’s wife and would not dare to disobey her. With this Lu from Xiaozhu Peak,
Girl, go take a look, it won’t hurt.”;
After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement and then became silent. Song Daren let out a joyful sigh, turned around and walked back to the Silence Hall.
Looking at the bamboo forest at the back of Dazhu Peak, the scenery here is quite similar to that of Xiaozhu Peak. As far as the eye can see, there are lush green bamboo forests, dancing with the wind, and bursts of bamboo waves. The morning light falls from the sky, and in the gaps in the bamboo forest
I saw little traces of light projected on the ground.
On the thin bamboo leaves, there are countless crystal dewdrops condensed, which are smooth and round, like the most precious pearls.
While Gui Li was there, he felt a little confused for a moment. It was here that he began his life on Dazhu Peak many years ago. For countless mornings and dusk, he wielded his woodcutter and sweated.
Silently felling trees in a secluded bamboo forest, those days that once felt boring now seem like a dream when I think about them, but the tranquility I once had can never be found again.
Bamboo waves burst into waves, and the mountain breeze blew past my ears.
He breathed a sigh of joy in his body and mind, put aside the senseless sentimentality, turned his head and looked at Suru.
Tian Buyi's body was lying on the ground not far away, and there was still Rhubarb lying next to it. =. Ever since Tian Buyi's body returned to the mountain, it seemed that this dog had been by Tian Buyi's side and never left.
go.
There was no foundation under Tian Buyi's body, which seemed a bit disrespectful to the deceased. However, from Gui Li to Song Daren and even Du Bishu, no one dared to question Suru's behavior in the slightest.
It's just that even though she can't change Suru's sadness, her behavior is still very puzzling. Gui Li wants to ask, but at this moment, Suru's figure with her back to him is like a wall, which makes him
Don't know how to speak.
But at this time, Suru broke the silence: "What, do you have something to say to me?!";
Gui Li was taken aback, then pondered for a moment, and finally said cautiously: "Master Wife, I have a few words, I don't know whether to say them or not...";
Suru said lightly: "Go ahead, I know that these words are not just contrary to what one person wants to say."
Gui Li choked for a moment. He wanted to know that his wife was an extremely intelligent person. It seemed that the pain of losing her husband did not affect her thoughts too much. Gui Li coughed lightly and said:!";
Master, please forgive me for being so bold. I understand that Master is deeply concerned about Master!";
Having said this, Gui Li glanced at Tian Buyi's remains unexpectedly, and couldn't help but feel sad in his heart. After a while, he continued: "!" However, the disciple begged the master's wife to show her condolences no matter what. In addition, although
The master's wife is sad, but the master's funeral affairs should be arranged as soon as possible. Besides, senior sister Ling'er is reasonable and should be informed that she will come back to pay homage to the master...!";
Suru did not look back or speak.
Gui Li felt uneasy in his heart, lowered his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "Master Wife, Zi Ruo has some bold and unreasonable things to say, please don't pay attention to it.";
Suru shook her head, slowly turned around, looked at Gui Li, and said: "You didn't say anything wrong, everything you said was right.";
Gui Li looked at Suru, and was surprised. Suru was dressed very differently today from the previous few days. Although she was still in mourning clothes, her face could be seen that she had been dressed up before, and she was much more energetic.
It shows a bit of beauty, which is tempting.
Gui Li lowered his head, not knowing what to say for a moment. He hesitated for a long time and then said: "Master's wife, I still have a moment, so I dare to ask my teacher's wife...";
Suru said calmly: "You say it."
Ghost Li said: "The master passed away, and the disciple and his wife share the same sorrow. However, the master's body should not be moved carelessly, let alone moved to this back mountain!";
Suru suddenly said: "Are you trying to teach me a lesson?!"
Gui Li quickly shook his head and said: "Disciple doesn't dare!!"
Suru glanced at him and said nothing, but her expression slowly softened. She seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly a sad look appeared on her face and she said: "Lao Qi, do you know how many years have your master been married to me?"
?!";
Gui Li's heart was shocked, and he vaguely felt that there was deep sorrow and sorrow in the words of his wife. However, even though he knew this, he didn't know how to comfort him. He was worried at the moment, but he could only whisper:!
";Disciples don't know.!";
Suru smiled, turned around, slowly sat down next to Tian Buyi, and whispered: "Actually, it's not just you who doesn't know, even I myself have forgotten that during these years in the mountains, he and I
The two of us spending time together is enough for me, but how can I think about how many days have passed? He always laughs at my stupidity and says that if we fail to cultivate in the future, it will be difficult for us to enter the immortal world and fall into reincarnation again. When it comes to separation and death,
At this moment, I don’t know what the situation is like.!”;
Her voice gradually became lower and she said: "!" I asked him that day what he wanted, and he said that he had nothing else to ask for. If he left before me, the Taoist monks would not even think about a big funeral.
He doesn’t even need a coffin. He comes naturally and leaves naturally. All he wants is a piece of loess on the mountain behind the main peak, so that he can watch the people on the front mountain day and night and not be afraid of being lonely.” He didn’t finish his words.
, but she had quietly burst into tears.
Gui Li gritted his teeth and could not speak. The big yellow head lying on the side slightly raised its head, looked at Suru, then crawled down, and its tail shook slightly.
Suru stared at Tian Buyi for a long time, then suddenly waved her hand and said: "Go down the mountain now and come back in half an hour!!"
Gui Li was startled, hesitated a little, and called out: "Master's Wife!"
Suru said: "What?!"
Gui Li hesitated for a moment, and finally said boldly: "Master, Master, the master made an agreement with you during his lifetime. The disciples naturally dare not violate it. But before the master is buried, should we still inform Senior Sister Ling'er?"
!";
Suru was silent for a moment and said in a low voice: "That's fine, you can tell Daren when you get down from the mountain and ask him to quietly go to Longshou Peak to call Ling'er back!!"
Gui Li nodded, turned and left. When he reached the stone steps at the intersection, he couldn't help but look back and saw Suru silently sitting next to Tian Buyi's body, her figure lonely, and it looked really sad.
He felt sour in his heart again, and quickly turned around, not daring to look any further, and walked on.!";
Along the way, his mind calmed down, and he unconsciously thought of the same situation in the past few days. Suru didn't ask Song Daren and others to inform Qingyun Mountain of the bad news. This in itself was extremely strange, and even Tian Linger didn't let them know.
The notice is even more unreasonable. Today's handling of Tian Buyi's funeral affairs in this way, although Tian Buyi had an agreement before his death, is still too hasty.
Gui Li sighed softly in his heart and shook it off. In fact, Taoist cultivators don't pay much attention to the future. Burying their flesh and blood in the green earth and loess may not be a bad thing.
He was thinking silently like this, and was too lazy to ride the wind. He walked down the mountain road and reached the middle of the mountain unknowingly. I would like to think that when he first climbed Dazhu Peak, he followed his senior brother Song Daren and his junior sister Tian Ling.
When I got to the back mountain, I didn’t know how hard it was to walk. The past events are still in my mind.
But I wonder how senior sister Ling'er has been doing these years?
A faint bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he shook his head. Then, he suddenly stopped and looked forward with some surprise.
On the mountain road, a white figure suddenly appeared in front of him. He was tall and graceful, standing silently and calmly. In the morning light, he didn't seem to have any earthly air, staring at him silently.
Gui Li also looked at her. The two looked at each other for a long time, but neither seemed to have anything to say.
The mountain breeze blew by, blowing her hair and clothes, and fluttering gently with the wind.
Finally, Gui Li spoke first: "Why are you here?!"
Lu Xueqi whispered: "My master called me to come and pay homage to Master Su."
Gui Li nodded silently, hesitated for a moment, and then:!" The master's wife is treating her injuries on the back mountain, but she wants to be alone at this moment, and doesn't want anyone to disturb her. She told me to go up in half an hour.
.!";
Lu Xueqi also nodded and said: "It doesn't matter, I'll just wait."
Gui Li responded and fell silent. Lu Xueqi over there didn't seem to know what to say. When the silence gradually became silent between the two of them, although they stood still, they seemed to be further apart...";
After a while, Lu Xueqi said softly: "Is your injury better?!"
Gui Li said softly: "Much better," said, he raised his head and looked at Lu Xueqi, and said: "If you hadn't saved me that day, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to stand here. That's right.
Thank you.!";
Lu Xueqi was startled for a moment, looked at Gui Li, and said: "That's me, my sword!"
Gui Li suddenly said: "Stop talking."
Lu Xueqi's expression darkened, she paused, and lowered her head in silence.
Gui Li seemed to be hesitant, and then continued: "The teacher's wife told me all those things, and she said I wrongly blamed you, and I'm sorry.";
Lu Xueqi shuddered and raised her head. There was sadness on Gui Li's face, and his eyes were willing to look at her. However, even so, he still said slowly word by word: "Master's wife's words, I
Of course I believe it, but after all, Master, he is the mentor who raised me and taught me. I know that maybe I am too selfish, and I just hope that you can give me more time, and that will be fine for me!";
!";I understand, I'll wait for you!!" Lu Xueqi suddenly interrupted him.
Gui Li was a little surprised. He raised his head and looked at her. The beautiful woman in the middle bit her lip with her teeth, and there seemed to be tears in her eyes. But the body that seemed to be tightly stretched by you seemed to be in the same place.
He relaxed instantly, and there was a faint trace of relief and smile at the corner of his mouth. Looking at the affectionate woman, the corner of his mouth moved, and a burst of tenderness suddenly surged in his heart. He was about to say something to her with a smile, but who knew?
At this time, suddenly from the bamboo forest on the top of the mountain behind them, a frantic barking sound came from a distance.
His body suddenly stiffened.
That was Rhubarb’s bark. Ever since he returned to Dazhu Peak with the body of his mentor Tian Buyi, Rhubarb rescued a body that followed its owner silently and never made a loud noise again. But at this moment, Rhubarb’s barking sounded like this.
Although the sound seemed a little faint from the distance, it sounded almost like madness, and the cry was so desperate that he had never heard it in more than ten years.
What happened to cause Rhubarb to suddenly become so hysterically barking like crazy?
All the worries that had been buried deep in his heart suddenly came to his mind. Gui Li's face instantly turned extremely pale, and even his hands began to tremble slightly. (To be continued)
