This is the tenth time he has gone to the wrong door. I was so
frightened that I peeled off his hand around my waist and rolled and crawled out of bed.
He was disturbed in bed and opened his eyes in a daze and looked at me.
“Ping Lin..” He closed his eyes again with great pain.
I sat on the bed and looked coldly at the sleepwalking master on the bed. My
name is Cui Nian. I am more than four hundred years old. Fifty years ago, I became an immortal. A month ago, I came to Fengyang Palace to do odd jobs.
People are divided into three or six or nine grades, immortals are the same, ancient gods are called gods, human gods are called immortals, monsters become gods.. Sorry, no name. Before I
became an immortal, I was a kingfisher spirit. After I was in the immortal class, I did odd jobs in Fengyang Palace. I was satisfied when I was a odd job. After all, when I was not a demon, I was afraid of being caught and roasted. When I was practicing, I was afraid of being struck by thunder. It was not easy to wait until I became an immortal and wanted to be stable.. Meet such a sleepwalking master again.
Master, he always seems to be unable to remember where he lives, like a salmon migration, and every time he sleepwalks, he always sleeps in my bed by intuition. Master sleepwalked and drank too much that day, and I didn’t wake up several times, so I had to find someone to carry him back. When I went to Fengyang Palace with a broom, I almost missed Xiao Ni’s class. When
Little Ni saw me in the morning, her eyes narrowed and she grinned. Holding a broom, she asked me, “Master, are you sleeping in your room again?” “Why don’t I tell the Master to let him change rooms with me?” I asked with a wooden face. “I’ll sleep on the big bed in the Fengyang Palace, and he’ll sleep on the small Kang in the pigeonhole.” Little Ni patted me on the shoulder to comfort me. “Dream on. There’s everything in the dream.” I sighed. “Master, can’t you cure this sleepwalking?” “Can you sleepwalk for four hundred years if you cure it well?” Little Ni spread out her hands and said, “It’s an old problem. I’ve been looking for a great doctor to see it all over the world. I’ve eaten a lot of elixirs. I’ve been eating them for a hundred years and they’re still like that. Today they’re by the well, and tomorrow they’re in the tree. It’s also very strange recently. The end of sleepwalking is fixed in your house..” Kong Bo should be very happy. He doesn’t have to stay up late to see the Immortal anymore. He just has to go to your house every day to get someone. The empty berth in Xiao Ni’s mouth is the fairy attendant beside the Master. I’ve heard that he doesn’t get enough sleep and his dark circles fall on his instep. Recently, such rumors seem to have become less and less. I’m the one who can’t
sleep.
I couldn’t let the Master go on like this, so I asked Xiao Ni to help me get an entrance guard boundary a few days ago.
“When will it be ready?” I asked Xiao Ni.
“Today is about the same. Uncle Ben works very quickly. I’ll send it to you in the evening.” The baby fish fairy is very reliable. As expected,
Xiao Ni brought the boundary to my door in the evening and helped me arrange a meal. Finally, she was all right.
She thought we should see if the enchantment was good, so she stood me in the room, and she pretended to be a stranger and forced her way in. Before my toes crossed the threshold, I was shocked and convulsed, which almost scared me to death.
I sat on the threshold for a long time before I woke up. Xiao Ni opened her eyes shakily and made a gesture to me.
“This enchantment can almost electrocute the Immortal. Would you consider removing it?” I refuse.
Seeing that I insisted, Xiao Ni did not persuade me again and waved goodbye to me after recovering. After
seeing Xiao Ni off, I looked at the boundary at the door and felt my breath relaxed.
I can finally have a good sleep.
That night, I replaced my pillow with a fluffy one and lit a requiem incense that I had bought for a lot of money at the head of my bed as a celebration of my peaceful sleep. I slept well
at night, and Xiao Ni’s experiments during the day gave me confidence in the quality of the boundary.
I had no idea that the immortal would appear in my bed again the next day.
I spent a lot of money on the boundary. The whole Fengyang Palace knew about
Master’s sleepwalking. I didn’t wake him up before. Now, for my peaceful life and the money I paid to buy the boundary, I finally decided to wake him up and let Master know the serious consequences of breaking into the girl’s boudoir.
The Master was still sleeping soundly, but I had already got up. When I saw the pot of overnight tea on the table, I had a dispute in my heart. I got out of bed barefoot, took the kettle, pulled out the lid, and poured it down on the Master’s drunken jade face.
The Master sat up in a startled dream, and his eyes remained in ignorance. Master was also very confused when he
saw me. Maybe he opened his mouth to ask something, but I blocked him with a word.
“Master, can you see clearly? Where is this?” I had a preconceived idea and wanted to get the upper hand.
The Master looked around and said to himself, “No.”.
“I shouldn’t be here..” “But the Master has sleepwalked and slept here ten times.” Seeing that he had almost recovered, I began to reason with him. “Master, once you fall asleep, you don’t wake up. Every time I find an empty berth and let someone carry you back..” Master, do me a favor and sleepwalk somewhere else. Don’t come here next time. Xiaoxian, a kingfisher, becomes an immortal and destroys my innocence. Xiaoxian also sleeps deeply. Every day when I open my eyes and find Master in my bed, I’m scared to death.. Master listened in silence, and his face became more and more wrong, until I finished, he reached out and rubbed his face, and the cold sweat on his forehead was shining by the morning light.
After a while, he asked me, “I don’t remember that I..”
The Master finally could not stand it. He was a paragon of virtue and learning. His glorious image of being aloof and lonely all the year round was exposed by a stranger who did odd jobs. His heart of 35,000 years old could not accept it for a while. His sense of shame turned into a burning temperature on his face. His white face was burning crimson. He turned over and got out of bed and rushed out of the door without looking back. His figure soon disappeared out of my field of vision.
Later, I went to Fengyang Palace as a servant. I told Xiao Ni about it. I was a little scared, so I wanted to ask Xiao Ni for a reassuring pill.
Little Ni didn’t speak for a long time. After much deliberation, she told me, “The Immortal broke into your house ten times before you poured him a pot of water. That’s enough..” “What if he wants to get back at me?” I asked. “Thirty-five thousand years old, the daffodils on the Kaolin are not like you.” Little Ni waved her hand with a rag in her hand. “After all, he was in the wrong first.” After listening to it, I enjoyed it very much, and my swaying heart fell back into my stomach safely. When I saw the empty pool far away, my heart was in my throat again. The
purpose of the empty berth was very clear. When he saw me, he came to me.
I silently glanced at Xiao Ni.
Who says the immortal doesn’t hold a grudge.
Kongbo seemed to be in a hurry, and a strand of broken hair fell from the top of his hair, which had always been in a mess. Because it blocked his eyes, he was impatiently pushed to the back of his head.
“Cui Nian, what happened to Master?” Kongbo asked me, but I didn’t know if I should say something about splashing water, so I had to go back and ask, “What happened to the immortal?” “When I came back, my face was full of water. I thought I could sleepwalk. I’ve never seen such a violent reaction today.” Kongbo scratched his ears and couldn’t figure it out. “When I came back, I locked myself in the house, and asked me to get a chain and a lock, and lock him up when I went to bed at night.” The Master was probably stimulated.
But I don’t think it’s reliable.
Kongbo asked me why.
I replied, “I spent a huge sum of money the day before yesterday to buy an entrance guard, but it didn’t stop Master. It’s definitely not realistic for you to use a lock and a chain.” “What then?” Kongbo didn’t have a clue. “If things go on like this, the Master might shut himself up.” “Why does the Master sleepwalk to me? If we find out the reason, it might be easy to handle.” Second, my words lit up the wisdom of Kongbo. Kongbo invited me to join in the search for the mystery of Master’s sleepwalking. I shook my head repeatedly. There are still a lot of things to do in Fengyang Palace
tomorrow. How can I have time to run errands with Kongbo.
But in Kongbo’s eyes, the master was more important. He repeatedly promised to find someone to take my place and pulled my sleeve away. The things that
Master wanted were still to be bought. I introduced Kongbo to Uncle Ban. Uncle Ban smiled and happily took out his most expensive chains and locks and held them to Kongbo like a treasure.
There is no other purpose, I just want to pit an empty berth, to solve the hatred in my heart.
I didn’t tell Kong Bo that I had splashed Master’s overnight tea, so Kong Bo held something in his left hand and pulled me in his right hand, and he was going to the place where Master was. I
went to an absolutely awkward meeting, so I tugged at my empty sleeve.
Kongbo, however, thought I was overwrought, and didn’t let go. He just comforted me by saying, “Master just looks cool and aloof. After all, he’s taught many great people in heaven, and without a little momentum he’s not steady. In fact, in private he’s quite gentle.” Kongbo was very enthusiastic, and I couldn’t tell the truth, so he finally pulled me in front of the master. The
courtyard was empty. On a long table was a scroll of the Dharma Sutra, a three-legged animal-headed incense burner, and sandalwood in his mouth. Master Qingleng, dressed in white, sat in front of the table. At first, he didn’t look at it, but when we got closer, he slowly raised his eyes.
As soon as I looked up, it was fixed on me.
At a certain moment, I even saw the panic in the eyes of the Master, like a mountain torrent.
Then Master Baoxiang was no longer there, and the hand holding the scroll trembled. He forced himself to calm down for a moment, and then he did not seem so alarmed.
“Brought it back so soon?” The Master’s eyes darted a quick glance at me, and then quickly fell on Kongbo. “Who is this again?” He pretended not to know me.
What Xiao Ni said is also somewhat reasonable. In order to protect her image, the flower of Kaolin will never leak out.
Then I don’t have to be so nervous.
Kongbo didn’t know, but kept on saying, “This is an immortal who does housekeeping at the Fengyang Palace. A few days ago, Shizun was sleepwalking, and she told me to take you back.” “Then why come here?” Master continued to perform.
Kong Po replied, “I ran into Cui Nian Xiao Xian by chance. While chatting, I asked some questions about the immortal’s sleepwalking. Kong Po thought it was very useful, so he wanted Master to listen to it.” When the Master heard this, his eyes changed, and they fell on me like a knife. He asked, “Have you arranged me?” Nonsense.
I said to him in secret, and bowed to him respectfully: “The little fairy didn’t. It’s well known that the fairy is sleepwalking. It was just a casual remark from the little fairy that probably helped the fairy to think.” Obviously, the proud Master did not believe it. “Tell me the truth, and I will listen.” I told the truth: “Master used to sleepwalk without a fixed location, but now he suddenly has a pattern. Could there be other reasons, such as the house of the little fairy?”. Master thought it was impossible, because Fengyang Palace was built ten thousand years ago. He had never been to Fengyang Palace before. Even my small house was built in the back. He had no impression of it.
“Then why does it always appear in Xiaoxian’s room?” I was unconsciously brought into the situational analysis. There must be a reason for a thing to happen. Even the salmon migration is due to the old salmon. Even the animal instinct has a reason. How can there be no reason.
“Master has been sleepwalking for four hundred years. If he could really be cured, it wouldn’t be in vain to take so much medicine.” It sounds to me that the meaning of Kongbo is not that I feel sorry for his master, but that I feel sorry for the gold and silver spent on taking medicine for four hundred years.
But I also hope that the master will recover soon, so that I don’t have to live in the daily life of being frightened by the master.
The Master sat in silence before the table, as if he were worried about his illness.
After pondering for a moment, I thought about it.
“Master, it’s not realistic to lock you in the room. How about this? Tonight you sleepwalk again, and I’ll follow you. Let’s see if there are any details. Maybe there will be an answer.” The Master looked up at me with a long expression. Maybe he thought I was crazy.
I spread out my hands. “Is there any other way, Master?” The Master did not answer and closed his eyes in an appointed way. Outside the house where the
Master lived, there was a Wisteria tree, which was in full bloom.
At night, I brought a long bench and sat under the tree with the empty berth, waiting for the master to fall asleep.
The waiting time was always long, so Kongbo Shangxian and I began to sit on the bench and chat.
Kong Bo said that Master was not born with this problem, but came back from the human world four hundred years ago. At that time, the human world was in chaos, and a monster appeared every three or five times. At that time, the heaven was busy fighting with the Demons for territory. When people’s prayers came to heaven, no immortal could respond. The prayer somehow found its way into the hands of the master who had fled from the world at that time. The
wish lay in the palm of the Master’s hand with a glimmer of light. The Master walked out of the Fengyang Palace for the first time and looked for the Emperor of Heaven.
The Master and the Emperor of Heaven have known each other since ancient times. After detailed discussion, they can’t remember the date. The Master said he would go to the world to respond to his wish, and the Emperor of Heaven agreed. A hundred years later, the Master alone measured the nine States of the world with his footsteps and killed all the monsters that brought disaster to the world.
Back to heaven, covered with scars, decadent posture, spent 30 years to recover, after recovery, they fell into sleepwalking. I was listening to the gossip, but the empty voice suddenly stopped. His eyes turned in one direction, and he grabbed my sleeve and shook it: “It’s coming out!” As soon as I turned my head, I looked along the door. The Master, dressed in a white robe, with no expression in his open eyes, staggered out of the threshold and into the courtyard. Kongbo and
I stood up at the same time and watched the Master coming with great concentration. In
silence, I pulled the empty berth and motioned to make way for the Master. The two of
us gently took the bench away in an empty berth so as not to trip the master. Seeing that
the Master had already passed the Wisteria tree, his footsteps suddenly stopped. Kong Bo and
I waited with bated breath. After a few breaths, the Master turned and walked toward us. We were stunned, thinking that the Master wanted to walk around the yard twice, and then moved away. After
several times, I found that it was wrong, and the Master seemed to be coming for us.
Kong Po took hold of my arm and said to me in a low voice, “Don’t move.” The two of us are not going. It’s the first time I’ve seen sleepwalking. My hair stands on end and I stand in the same place like a piece of wood.
The Master walked straight towards us, or more accurately, towards me.
His arm hanging at his side slowly raised, opened, and circled me into his arms.
My mind went blank. His
cheek pressed against his skirt, his body temperature passed from the clean cloth, and the master’s vigorous heartbeat flowed through his body.
I heard his almost inaudible sigh.
“Ping Lin.” I found the reason why Shizun sleepwalked into my room.
I was surprised, and the empty berth was even more so. After settling
the Master, Kong Bo asked me, “Did you know the Master before?” I said it was impossible. In my memory of hundreds of years before, whether it was survival or spiritual practice, the appearance of such a person as Master was enough to impress me deeply and could not be forgotten.
The next day, the Master woke up from the house quite happily, thinking that he was not sleepwalking. He hurried to the door, and when he saw me and Kong
, he asked nervously and struggling, “Am I sleepwalking again?”. We nodded in silence, and the Master threw his sleeves and twisted his head into the room, determined and desolate.
Before the Master hit the wall or hanged himself, Kong Bo and I walked into the room.
The Master lay sprawled on the bed, with an obvious “give up, destroy it.” He had been with him for many years, and he should have taken the lead in this kind of thing.
Kong Bo pondered for a moment, then went to the head of the bed. “Master, do you remember what happened when you were sleepwalking?” “Kongbo, you’ve been with me for so many years. If you sleepwalk and remember everything, I won’t reveal a word to you for more than 400 years.” There was a sense of hopelessness in the Master’s voice. He smacked his lips and said no more.
This was really impossible to answer, and for a moment the conversation reached an impasse.
Things still need me to break the ice, I told the truth that the master did not go to my residence last night, but hugged me in the yard. Unable to accept the truth,
the Master sat up in bed and flatly denied, “How is that possible?”? You’re talking nonsense! Kong Bo raised his hand and said, “Master, I was there too.” Master almost fell back. The
three men analyzed the past and present situation, and did not come to any useful conclusion, so I suddenly remembered the name I heard when the Master hugged me.
Ping Lin.
That’s the second time I’ve heard that name.
But I didn’t know if it would involve the unknown past of the Master, so I had to find an excuse.
“Master, I haven’t eaten since last night.” The Master was inflamed, and Kongbo knew it, so he silently got up and went out to look for food. There were only two of us in the
room, so I took the opportunity to ask the Master, “Do you remember the word Pinglin?” The Master repeated the name in his mouth and shook his head. “I don’t remember.” I sighed and had to give up. After
breakfast, I had just left the master’s house to go to Fengyang Palace to work, but I was blocked by the empty boat running in a hurry.
“Come with me, Cui Nian. Master has something to do with you.” I was brought back.
The Master was sitting upright, and the spirit of the immortal was pressing. There was no desire in his clean eyes, and the appearance of a chicken in the morning was gone.
“Sit.” Master stretched out his hand.
I accepted good advice and sat down, and the master began to talk to me about the right thing.
At present, I can’t cure my sleepwalking. Master means to put me beside him on duty, so as not to make a joke at that time. I thought about it and thought it was wrong.
“Taking advantage all the time?” I looked up and asked him. Master has
probably been respected by all the immortals for so many years. No one has ever said such vulgar words in front of him. In short, Master is very frightened.
“How can you talk nonsense? When did I take advantage of you?”
I squinted and said, “Master, I didn’t say anything for the first thirty days, but yesterday you hugged me in the yard and left me on earth. Do you know what it was called?” “What’s your name?” Master was so angry with me that his mouth was dry. He took a sip from the teacup.
“Indecent assault.” Master was nearly choked to death.
I walked over and slowly gave him a smooth breath, and the figure of the Master flashed away from my hand.
I said, “Master, listen to what I have to say. It’s not out of the question to let me serve beside you. This year there will be a place in heaven for the selection of mountain gods and earth immortals. If you can help me, maybe I can serve in the lower world. This will solve both your embarrassment and my problem. What does Master think?” The Master was able to catch his breath. He twisted his head and looked at me as if he had seen a ghost in his eyes. “Do you still need to go through the back door?” Third, I was very hurt by the Master’s rhetorical question.
Perhaps he was unbeatable from ancient times, so he did not understand the sadness of our little immortals in modern times.
Especially the tortuous and difficult process of monsters becoming immortals.
But the master still agreed, and said that this kind of thing does not need to go through the back door, but also let me get the quota, as long as I make some progress. So I had no choice but to stay with the Master. There was no big difference in the content of the errand, but the object of service had changed.
After several days of observation, I found that Master’s character was very strange.
For example, when the Master was thirsty, he would not say, “I’m thirsty,” but would say, “There is no water in Cui Nian’s house. Go and add some.”. He never seems to confess what he wants, and when he occasionally takes a break to talk to Kong Bo about it, Kong Bo just smiles: “Master always gets what he wants by practicing what he preaches, and he’s not very comfortable with what he sends to others. If it weren’t for sleepwalking, I wouldn’t be an immortal around Master.” As soon as Kong Bo finished speaking, I had already imagined that if the Master did not have this young face, he might be regarded as a lonely old man who had lived in the mountains for a long time.
That morning, holding the fish food in my arms, I was feeding the fish in the pond in the Master’s courtyard. I didn’t see the Master coming, but suddenly I heard the voice of the Master behind me.
“Come with me.” When I heard the sound, I looked up and saw that the Master was already in front of me, so I had to follow him.
The Master brought me to a meadow with a wide field of vision. The breeze blew through the tender grass that had just grown to the ankle, and the waves rose and fell.
“What is Master doing here?” I’m not empty. I can’t guess the master’s mind.
The Master turned around in the gentle breeze, his sleeves fluttering, his celestial posture graceful. “From now on, when you go to the selection of the Earth Immortal, I will teach you how to break through the battle array and subdue demons, and how to make clouds and rain. If you work harder, you won’t have to come to me.” If we say that the celestial world chooses an immortal with the most profound knowledge and the most outstanding skills, it must be the immortal.
Being able to be instructed by the Master can be met but not sought by any immortal. Since
he can teach me, I must work hard. It was on this vast grassland that I first
taught me to break through the battle and subdue the demon, and I practiced with the master who pretended to be a monster.
My deployment has never trapped the Master. I lost my confidence
as soon as I came and went.
Finally, one day, I was so tired that I sat on the ground half dead. I asked the Master in a weak voice, “Master, no monster is as powerful as you. It’s not impossible to release water properly.” The same practice lasted half an hour, but the Master felt as if nothing had happened. He had nothing to do and looked at the green grass. “If you really met a fierce monster and recalled it before you died, you would certainly regret what you said today.” He thought for a moment and then added, “Beg for mercy before you die. Don’t say I taught you.” One day after the practice, the master was merciful and gave me two hours to rest. After a moment of breathing, I went to dinner with Xiao Ni. With tea instead of wine,
Xiao Ni wished me to pass the selection of the Earth Immortal as soon as possible. I responded with a smile. During the dinner, I suddenly remembered that before Xiao Ni became an immortal, she seemed to have lived in Jizhizhe, where immortals and goblins lived together. Maybe Xiao Ni knew someone who could find the answer to the word “Pinglin” in Master’s mouth.
So I asked Xiao Ni, “Do you know any immortals and spirits who are well informed?”? The kind that lives for a long time? Little Ni didn’t understand what I was going to ask. “What are you doing?” “I want to inquire about something.” “Tell me earlier.” Little Ni patted her thigh. “Are you looking at the future?”? Or do you go back in time? I felt something was wrong. “I’m not going to have my fortune told.” Little Neon said, “Asking about the past?” I nodded.
“There’s nothing he doesn’t know about the wonderful fields of the Black Feather Mountains.” There was a sudden hesitation between Little Ni’s eyebrows. “But if you ask him, think about it. What he charges is not gold or silver, but a price.” “At what cost?” “It’s hard to say. Maybe you sing a song for him, but maybe he wants you dead.” “But he’ll tell you what the price is. It’s your choice whether you want to know or not. If you think the price is too high, you can choose not to know.” After learning the technique with the Master, I packed up and prepared to go to the Black Feather Mountain.
If I become an immortal in the lower world, the master will fly down from the sky and sleep beside me one day, I really can’t stand it.
The day before I left, I asked the Master for leave. The Master was sitting by the pond, playing chess with himself.
No one cares when you are old, and you can only play chess with yourself.
Master twirled a chessman and placed it on the chessboard, but his eyes remained motionless. “Is there something wrong with your spiritual practice?” “No, I just want to ask the Master for a leave of absence.” Then the Master turned to look at me and said, “No.” I wondered, “Isn’t yesterday’s work all over?” “Did I say that?” Come to think of it, Master really didn’t say.
Master looked up at the sun, put down the unfinished chess in front of the table, stood up and walked over.
“Let’s go.” He passed me and headed for the door.
“Where are you going?” “The human world.” Four sunsets in the western hills, meet the devil’s hour. When I
was a kingfisher, I couldn’t fly to all parts of Kyushu with one pair of wings. It was the first time in my life that I came to the Great Wilderness.
Thousands of miles of loess are barren, towering mountains rise from the ground, and no living things can be seen as far as the eye can see.
As an immortal, there was a sense of crisis in the Great Wilderness. I followed the Master and walked all the way east.
He didn’t speak, so I had to open my mouth to ask.
“Master, what are we doing in the Great Wilderness?” “Here we are.” The Master did not answer the question and stopped.
I looked around and saw a huge grotto under the huge mountain in front of me. It was deep and dark, and there was no light source. The strong wind in the cave was surging, and it was like a ghost crying.
“You stand here and don’t move.” With that, the Master spread out his hands, and a sword appeared in the palm of his hand. “Take my magic weapon,” he said. I took it. The blade was heavy and the shape was smooth and plain. It was a good guy for fighting.
But let me carry a sword.. Fight with Shizun? Is it not good to make a gesture
directly in heaven?
I didn’t understand, but the Master still didn’t say anything. He walked a little farther. A hundred paces away, he pinched the formula and recited the incantation. Then he half knelt on the ground, palm down, and clapped it on the ground.
In the distance, the Master breathed out a short and forceful shout: “Enlighten!” The ground trembled slightly for a moment, and the world quieted down again, with the sound of the wind in my ears.
After a long time without any movement, I turned to look at the Master.
The Master had already landed high in the clouds, holding his shoulders and looking at the ground.
I asked him with my eyes what it meant.
The next moment, a heavy low roar came from the dark cave, a strong stench came to my face, and the earth shook regularly again. I stared at the cave, and a huge three-headed monster rushed out of the thick black and rushed at me. The bird’s feathers all over
my body almost stood up. With a wave of his big hand,
the three-headed monster clapped at me, and I dodged one by one. I ran at a high speed and pulled away from it. At the end, I did not forget to roar at the master in the sky.
“Is the Master trying to kill me to silence me?” “Why kill you and give you a sword?” I still think the master is afraid that his shameful deeds will be exposed.
But the master himself said no, is the so-called learning for the purpose of application, learning has been finished, the next step is to use. There is nothing in
the Great Wilderness, but there are many monsters. Master looked around the Great Wilderness three days ago, and finally delineated the three-headed monster in the cave.
He’s big, he’s tough, he’s smarter than other monsters.
Master is still talking in the sky, but I have no time to listen to it. Even with the blessing of Master’s sword, I am still unable to deal with the three-headed monster. I had a hard time fighting on my
side, but on the other side I heard the Master shouting, “Don’t just fight. You have to use your array to catch it.”
Come to think of it, I was also useful. What I had learned from the Master was quite advanced. The three-headed monster was kicked forward by me. I managed to catch my breath for a moment. With a pinch of my hand, I unfolded the formation and controlled the three-headed monster. The sharp blade in my hand was like a rainbow, which cut the monster at the waist.
With my sword in my hand, I turned around and looked up at the sky. I shouted triumphantly, “Don’t even think about borrowing a knife to kill someone!” The Master did not answer me. His figure, like the wind, came up behind me in a moment, hooked my waist and brought me down to the side.
Only one wrong body, I met with the master’s eyes, which was different from the peace of the past, and there was a sharp blade hidden in the beautiful eyes. The next moment I heard the thud of the collision with the body, and I could feel the violent impact behind me even through the Master.
I flew out with the Master. When
the house leaks, it rains all night. The Master is injured, and it rains in the Great Wilderness. There wasn’t even a tree
around, and I tried to get a boundary out, but I could only cover myself.
Master hated that iron could not become steel, so he gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand to open a spacious boundary. The monster in the
distance, with its three heads separated from its body, was still baring its teeth and brandishing its claws. The Master beheaded it with a sword, and it finally stopped moving. Inside the boundary, the Master’s face was pale, and the corners of his mouth were stained with blood, but he was in good spirits. As soon as the Master pointed at the monster’s corpse, he did not forget to teach me a lesson: “How many lives do you dare to do this?” Are you dead? Do you dare to turn back? The Master stared and waved his hand again and again, and the Great God threw himself into the sky. “Don’t say I taught you when you go out.” Did you become an immortal through the back door? I was not angry: “Master, you can’t talk nonsense. I didn’t rely on others to become an immortal. It was purely my own efforts!” “Is that what you’re trying to do?” As soon as the Master touched his forehead, the blood gushed up. I couldn’t continue to pout. After all, the Master had suffered a lot in order to protect me, and his back was already bloody.
I tore off the lining and simply wrapped it for him, and the Master was at his mercy. Wrapped up, I felt that the Master was not moving. I tilted my head to see that he was sitting cross-legged and had fallen asleep.
Probably a little tired.
I remember when I first came to Master, Kong Bo told me that when Master was sleeping, there must be someone around him. Once Master was sleepwalking, bring him back as soon as you found him.
But it doesn’t seem to be used now. Late
at night, the surrounding wasteland as far as the eye can see, the wind can only destroy the boundary, issued a howling sound. Holding my arms,
I leaned against the boundary and fell asleep. I heard a noise in the mist. When I opened my eyes, I found that the Master had moved. I’ve got the
old problem again, and I’m probably going to be used as a pillow to be held by the Master for a night.
Master sat down beside me, and I thought that tonight was just the same as before, to be a tool man.
When I got closer, I realized that something was wrong with the Master.
Master’s eyes were still empty, but the edge of his brown eyes was red with blood. Without any hesitation,
he pinched my shoulder and pushed me to the ground.
The force was too strong to resist, and for a moment I felt a sense of crisis. I tried to break away from his hand and run away.
The boundary encircles such a big place, and where can it go. I
was caught by the Master again, but the hand moved from my shoulder to my neck.
But his face was expressionless.
“Master!” In my panic, I called out to him and tried to wake him up.
The Master was unmoved.
And my clothes have been broken through by the master’s hand layer by layer, leaving only a middle coat to defend with difficulty.
I stretched out my hand and gave the Master a slap in the face, which was clear and loud in the vast wilderness.
The Master was woken up by me, and when he saw the scene in front of him, his eyes shrank sharply.
I rolled and crawled and ran away from his control, keeping the farthest distance from him.
“Sorry.” Master probably felt ashamed to face me, and didn’t even dare to look at me. “That monster’s fingers and claws are poisonous, and it will stir up people’s inner demons.” Still in shock, I blurted out, “Am I your demon?”? I said why did you bring me to you.. “But I never knew you before I sleepwalked.” The Master was also very worried. “How did you become my demon?” Five, this is about to ask Miaoye of Black Feather Mountain. I
will tell Master the news I got from Xiao Ni.
Master, do you want to try? Perhaps there will be an answer. I asked the master, he should know better than me, if sleepwalking can not be cured, things between the two of us are not over.
Master agreed and took me to Yizhize the next day. Master
probably felt embarrassed. When he went to Black Feather Mountain, he walked in front and didn’t say a word to me. In fact,
I really wanted to ask him, “Do you know the way?” But when I saw the other side’s determination not to turn back, I thought that was it. It is quite rare
for the master to be shameless. When he
arrived at Jizhize, the Master went around several times but failed to find his way, and finally turned around.
Opening his mouth, he didn’t pronounce a word, but he blushed first.
I stood silent and waited. After holding his breath for a long time, the
Master finally said, “Do you know where Miaoye lives?” I looked at him. “Master, you finally opened your mouth. I thought you were going to go around until it was dark.” The Master’s ears turned red, and he stood where he was, cramped and stubborn.
“Master, follow me.” I sidled past him to show him the way. In the
Black Feather Mountain, the strong trees are towering, and the branches are horizontal, blocking the sun. I followed the route that Xiao Ni told me all the way south. Behind the third stone, I found the Fuyadong Mansion in Xiao Ni’s mouth. As I
stood in the doorway, I looked at the plaque and asked the Master, “It is said that it is a fallen immortal. Has the Master ever recognized it?” The Master recalled, but did not recall the name. “Perhaps it was the younger generation who became immortals a little later, so I didn’t have any impression.” “It’s not the younger generation. I heard Xiao Ni say that she was an immortal from ancient times. In terms of seniority, it seems that she is a little older than Master.” Just then, the black door of the cave opened with a squeak, and it was particularly crowded in the dense, opaque forest.
I subconsciously leaned towards the master. Although
the master was thin-skinned, he was bold enough to go in first. It
was so dark that as soon as I entered, there was a corridor leading to the dark place. There was not even a light on the wall. I listened all the way, for fear that something would come out somewhere in the dark and take us away. There was silence
all around except for the footsteps of the Master and me.
“I haven’t had a visitor from Fuyadong for a long time.” The man’s voice was loud, flat and playful. Without thinking about it,
I grabbed the arms of the immortal and pretended to be a pendant like a knot. Instead of being frightened by the sound,
the Immortal was frightened by me. The Immortal looked at me sideways. “What are you panicking about?” I turned a deaf ear.
I don’t know if the other side is a friend or an enemy. If there is a fight and the Master runs away, I will be the one who will be beaten.
We finally reached the end of the cloister.
All around suddenly opened up.
Surrounded by glimmering fluorite, on the flat ground, is a broad stone platform congealed by stalactites, covered and entangled by unknown vines. A man sits upright on the stone platform, his thin body can not support his dark robe, and his long hair is scattered. Look
carefully, the winding vines are all his hair.
The man kept his head down and did not move.
I swallowed my saliva. I couldn’t take my eyes off the figure of the other person. I held the Master’s arm tightly. “Is this the Miaoye Immortal?”? Aren’t you dead? Will the immortals of ancient times die? “Everything that is alive will die one day.” The Master moved his arm. “Cui Nian, can you let me go?” I thought I couldn’t hear.
“Are you trying to strangle me?” Master was a little impatient in his words.
“Who said I was dead?” The man’s voice sounded again, and this time we finally found the source, from the direction of the stone platform. On the
stone platform, the dark figure’s head moved slightly, and the long hair in front of his forehead slipped down to both sides, revealing half of his face. The place where the eyeballs
should have been filled was replaced by fluorite with blue light, while the place where the mouth should have been placed was empty.
I hooked the claws of the immortal and grasped them more tightly. I regretted that I should not have brought the master here.
Xiao Ni did not tell me that Miaoye’s falling into immortality was so terrible.
Master was used to seeing great storms and waves, and he was more stable than I was. He took the lead in chatting with Miaoye. “Are you Miaoye?” Myono laughed, and I couldn’t imagine where he was making the sound.
“How is the Immortal?” “Have we met?” Master asked.
“I’ve seen more than that.” In the dim light, Miuno shook his head invisibly, and the vines rustled around him. “If you still come to ask questions today, this is the second business I’ve done for you.” There was something rustling around me. I opened my eyes wide and turned to look at the darkness. A large number of long outlines moved rapidly along the wall. I wanted to see what those things were and heard the voice of the Master.
“We’re done with the last round.” Mio Ye: “Yes.” “Then why have anything to do with the last time?” Miaoye looked at the Master in a daze, and the eyes of the fluorite stone seemed to have a look, looking at the Master’s appearance, as if there was some pity. The Master expressed his wish: he wanted to cure sleepwalking.
Miaoyo laughed. “Your sleepwalking is due to something missing in your body.” A crack appeared on Master’s earnest face.
“You don’t remember that either?” “If you want to cure sleepwalking, I’ll tell you the price you want to pay.” My ankle gave a sudden tightening. The
sudden force pulled me up directly. In a panic, I let go of the Master, but the Master held my hand in the next moment. I don’t know when
he took out his sword and cut off the vine on my ankle.
When I fell to the ground, he caught me and quietly blocked me behind him, looking at Miano on the stage.
The Master’s voice was cold. “Immortal Miaoye, why is this?” Miuno likes to laugh, and the harsh laughter echoes in the cave. “This is the price. I want the body of this kingfisher fairy.” Outside Fuyadong Mansion, I sat on the steps, holding my arms and saying nothing.
Master, let me come out first. The sun outside the
cave was almost in the middle of the sky, and the sky was bright and warm, but my teeth were chattering.
I’m digging my own grave. Shouldn’t the price be taken from the questioner? Why did it fall on my head. In the confusion of my
thoughts, I got up from the ground, hurried a few steps in the direction of the Heavenly Palace, and suddenly stopped. Countless immortals in
the Heavenly Palace befriended the Master. If they really take me as the price, I can’t run away from the Heavenly Palace at all.
I stood still and waited for a few breaths, made up my mind, and turned to the north.
6. Hatred is the homeland, and protection is also the homeland. I
went back to where I was born.
The verdant forest stretches for thousands of miles, and the sound of life can be heard here, which is different from the dead silence of the Black Feather Mountain. Insects and birds in
the forest, fish and crabs in the stream, and animals passing through.
Since I became sensible, Fusen has never been taken over by a mountain God, as if it had long been forgotten by the gods, and on this land, life flourishes.
That’s why I chose to come back.
I found a place with the best scenery in Fusen, defeated the demon who occupied the territory there, and lived in the cave house of the demon.
The earth is not as disciplined as the sky. It all depends on fists to reason. The law of the jungle and the survival of the fittest. I know this well, so I am cramped in heaven.
I did not do anything absolutely, but told the monster that he wanted the most beautiful room in the cave, and nothing else.
But also thanks to the master teaching, the monster is no match for me, there is no choice but to accept. The
best rooms are on the edge of the cliff, with towering mountains and lush green trees in the distance, and a crystal barrier in full view.
Why is it that only when you are sealed in heaven can you become an immortal? Fusen is godless. Why don’t I just become a God here?
The monster is a snake demon, who has lived for two hundred years, eating deer and birds, occasionally gnawing Ganoderma lucidum and immortal grass, and accidentally turned into a monster.
But you can’t practice the method.
He was my natural enemy, but I beat him into a ball.
One day, when I was free, I went into his room. Recently,
the snake demon loves human things and indulges in alchemy. He is picking immortal grass at the table and refining the elixir. When he sees me coming in, he shivers. A good snake stiffens into a stick. Smiling,
I walked over and patted him on the shoulder. “There are so many monsters in Fusen. How many do you rank?” The round eyes of the snake demon did not blink, staring at me and not daring to make a sound.
“Tell the truth.” I looked sideways at the alchemy furnace that he had recently turned over. “I think your alchemy furnace is quite unique..” The body of the snake demon obviously trembled, and the momentum in his voice was weak: “Don’t..” I turned my head and looked at him. “Tell me..” The snake demon said that since Fusen flew out a kingfisher when the immortal, the ranking of the monsters in Fusen began to reshuffle, he took advantage of eating the immortal grass, fierce and durable, and finally Mang became the first in Fusen.
I patted him on the head and said, “That’s great. Would you please come to the house and say something for me?” Snake Demon: “What words?” “Heaven has sent the Earth Immortal to come. If you’re in trouble, look for Cui Nian.” The snake demon was afraid that the alchemy furnace would be killed, so he sent the snake son and the snake grandson to spread the news all over Fusen.
When the immortal I am not a character, plus the master is really fierce, if you want to protect yourself, it is better to fight alone than to gather in groups.
Before long, the matter of the earth fairy spread all over Fusen. It was expected that a few thorns would come to challenge me and be repaired by me. After that, no one questioned my status as the earth fairy.
I help them settle their disputes. They want to do things for me. I wait for the day when the team grows up and can protect myself. It was not until a year later that I met the Master again.
Master came to Fusen because the snake demon told me. At that time, the snake demon was already my God. When he came, he seemed to have experienced a fierce battle, and his clothes were dirty.
“Cui Nian, go out and have a look.” I glanced at the snake demon. “Are they fighting again?” The snake demon shook his head and said urgently, “No, an immortal who called himself Master came over and said he was looking for you, but the monsters wouldn’t let him, and then they fought with him.” After hearing this, I felt a great shock in my heart, but when I heard the word “Master,” I was still in a panic. I forced myself to calm down, and then asked the snake demon, “Have they won?”. I always had a little hope in my heart, but it was all doused by the snake demon.
“I can’t stop you. If you don’t go out again, people will fight all the way to the cave, and it won’t look good.” I gritted my teeth and left the snake demon and hurried out of the door.
I felt that this year was probably wasted, and it turned out that even if the immortal wanted to catch me to cure sleepwalking, I had no room to resist.
I heard the snake demon shouting, “Cui Nian!”! Go in the opposite direction! I didn’t go the other way. I was coming out. I didn’t say I was going to see the master. Run away
before others arrive at the cave house.
Sunlight came through the branches and leaves, and the thorny ground was crisscrossed with light and shade. I went into the dense forest and hurried along the path of patrolling the mountain. My clothes blew through the weeds and rustled. I crossed the forest and then crossed a stream. I went all the way down the hillside and went down the mountain. But as soon as I came out of the dense forest and came to the steps, I saw a figure on the shore. The
familiar white robe, the immortal flavor beyond the three realms.
The Master lowered his head and ground the gravel beside the stream with his toes. He looked up at me slowly.
He seems to have been waiting here for some time.
“It took me a year to catch you..” “Why are you running?” The Master wondered. “Are you waiting for me to cure your sleepwalking?” I leaned back warily, trying to hide my figure in the darkness.
The Master asked again, “Did I promise Miaoye to trade you?” “Who knows if you’re lying to me.” “Master has a pretty face, but he’s been around for 35,000 years. Everyone says he’s a very bad old man. Who knows what you’ve got in your head for 35,000 years?” Master listened with a complicated expression, pondered my words, did not analyze whether I was praising him or scolding him.
But the immortal did not take this to heart, he was more concerned about another issue.
“No one wants to kill you. If you don’t go back, you’ll have to withdraw from your post at Fengyang Palace. Kongbo has been very anxious recently.” How dare I believe what he said: “I’m not going back.” Unexpectedly, the Master opened his eyes a little wider and said, “Why don’t you come back?” “The local fairy.” I told him.
Master is even more angry. The immortal appearance in front of others can never be maintained here for more than a cup of tea.
“How can you be a fairy when the selection test hasn’t even started?” With a wave of his sleeve, the Master stretched out his hand and pointed to the woods behind me. “Did the monsters throw you out with a small leaf?” “I typed it myself!” “You are ridiculous!” For the first time, the Master showed a sharp expression. “You can’t be an immortal like this. It’s more like falling into immortality!” He took a few steps forward and tried to pull me out of the woods. I plunged into the woods.
“Cui Nian!” The voice of the Master behind me was burning with anger, and I didn’t dare to look back.
Master didn’t come after me.
But he didn’t leave.
I heard that I caught a few monsters and found out about the cave house of the snake demon, and then I came over.
The snake demon was the first to hear the noise, and then went to the door of the cave house to see that the door of the boundary had suddenly opened itself. The white-clothed immortal stood outside the door, and the snake demon was once again frightened into a stick.
Instinct finally overcame reason, and the snake demon turned to run, but was stopped by the master.
As for how the snake demon was so obedient that he came to deliver the message, I don’t know, but when I saw his letter, which he was so frightened that he forgot to withdraw, I knew that he was shocked.
I talked to him and put my tongue back in his mouth: “Go and tell him I’m not there.” The snake demon was about to cry: “Cui Nian, don’t struggle. They told you that they wanted to see you to give you face. If they really want to take you away directly, no one can stop them.” “Can I live if I go?” I patted the mouth of the snake demon, and the snake demon, with a cry, covered his mouth and took two steps back, with tears in his eyes.
I stared at him and said, “The Master is thin-skinned, and he has no face to do anything that doesn’t agree with the etiquette.” Just then, the immortal came into my room. The
snake demon cried out, and the moment I saw the immortal, I was so frightened that I almost hugged the snake demon.
“Then when is the score?” Xianzun stood in the doorway, looking at the two of us trembling in situ. I
made a mistake in anticipation, and I didn’t expect that the master would be shameless one day.
Master’s eyes lightly fell on the snake demon. “Would you excuse me? I have something to say to Cui Nian.” If the snake demon is granted amnesty, he would like to turn into a centipede with dozens of legs and disappear here immediately.
I grabbed the snake demon and said, “What are you going to do?”? Listen to him, listen to me? The snake demon did not speak, trembled and pointed to the master, did not hesitate to take off my hand, and quickly disappeared into the room.
The Master came over and looked at me seriously. He lowered his voice and said, “You haven’t returned to Heaven for a year. Heaven has sent someone to track you down. If you are found to have a private name in the mountains and pretend to be a mountain God, you will be punished by thunder.” Finally, he added, “You are acting foolishly.” I said, “It’s all nonsense. If you take me to heaven to cure me, I’ll die. If heaven sends someone to arrest me, I’ll die. It’s the same ending. I might as well do my best. At the worst, I’ll break the net with you. At least I’ll die with some dignity.” Master thought I was a little unreasonable. “I never wanted to kill you!”! Why are you so stubborn.. Before he had finished speaking, the Master suddenly looked up at the crystal barrier behind me. Seeing that his face was not right,
I was about to look back when the Master reached out his hand and broke my head back.
“Don’t turn back!” The Master’s voice was stern and short, the sleeve of his robe waved over me, and the head of his cloak fell down.
He pulled his cloak down over my face and warned me, “Never let them see your face.” Master took me by the hand and walked out of the cave. In the sky of Fusen, there were many gods. They wore golden cloaks, covered their faces with broad brims, and stood in the clouds with dazzling purple electricity in their hands.
The leader was the only one of the gods who wore a silver cloak. The long silver hair of the goddess flowed along the edge of the cloak, which covered most of her face and only showed a bright red lip.
“Please get out of the way, Master. It’s no good hurting Master when you strike.” There was no sound in Fusen. All the lives were carefully hidden. Master and I seemed to be the only lives exposed to the ground that could still breathe.
The Master looked up at the gods, and in his calm voice there was an unyielding calmness. “Take it back. The Cuinian Immortal just went back to Fusen to cultivate himself. Although he didn’t ask for leave and violate the law, he didn’t go to the point of applying thunder.” “Master, let’s wait until the Cuinian Immortal is still alive to explain.” The sound of the closing is like a drum, rumbling through the eardrums and chest. “The order I have received is that the immortal of Cui Nian pretends to be the immortal of the earth and disturbs the order of Fu Sen.” Standing in midair, the purple electricity in her hands turned into the shape of a spear, crackling in her hands.
She raised the purple lightning above her head and shouted in a deep voice, “Immortal Cui Nian, show your face!” The gods raised the purple electricity together in midair, and the sound was like a loud bell.
“Green Year Immortal, show your face!” For four hundred years, I have been dutiful and cautious. The only thing I have ever done is to go back to Fusen to set up my own immortal, not for selfish desires, but just to live.
I looked at the gods and shook back the hand that might have wanted to kill me.
Master, look back.
Perhaps only the master, who is also an immortal, can tell me the answer.
“Master, I want to live.” With tears streaming down my face, “Is it wrong to survive?” Master turned around, the fundus is I do not understand the emotions, ups and downs, the eyes staring at my body a few fingers, and seems to be determined to look at the gods in the sky.
“I once told you about the Cuinian immortals who ascended Sendai. Even if they were punished, they wouldn’t be punished by thunder.” “It’s all about punishment, no matter what the sentence is.” He did not put down his raised hand. “Please get out of the way!” Master did not move.
The goddess suddenly laughed, raised her hand slightly, and there was a strong wind whistling. The cloak over
my head was lifted in an instant.
“Immortals of the Green Year will be punished!” I will never forget the picture of purple electricity like the tail of a comet.
The Master covered the light of the sky with his body in the next moment.
I was hugged into the darkness by the Master, and all around me was quiet in an instant.
I opened my eyes again, and I was in the cage of heaven.
I heard that Fusen was split into a deep pit by thunder, and it turned into scorched earth within a radius of ten miles. It was the guard who told me
this, and as I held the railing and listened, I subconsciously thought of the peaceful face.
“Where is Master?” I was eager for an answer. “What’s wrong with Master?” “I must have gotten hurt trying to protect you.” The guard glared, “Just think, it’s such a big hole!” The guard felt that words could not describe it, so he stretched out his hand and drew a circle in the air. “If you had to die there, it would be a miracle that you could stay here.” He said something else. I couldn’t listen any more. I turned around and sat down against the railing.
“What’s the matter?” Seeing this, the guard did not ask questions. Big
tears rolled down and wept silently.
Finally, I couldn’t help but burst into tears: “If … …” Master, because I’m dead.. What to do? I can’t hate the master after all.
If you really want to kill me, why should you block the thunder?
A few days later, I was released, and the messenger said that the thunderbolt punishment was due to the negligence of climbing Sendai, and that the person who made the mistake had been deprived of the position of God, and that the God had been punished to think of the precepts.
I stood in front of the prison door and said goodbye to the guards who had been chatting for many days. I went outside in a trance. Flocks of cranes passed through the eaves. Countless palaces were hidden in the clouds. None of them had anything to do with me.
“Cui Nian Xian Zhe.” When I heard the sound, I turned around and stood behind me, waiting for me.
“Master asked me to bring you back.” Kongbo saw my nervousness and his voice softened. “Let’s go.” I finally returned to Fengyang Palace. The residence of the
Master was as usual, except for the huge Wisteria tree, which had passed its flowering period and only its dark branches were left.
I caught sight of him at once.
The Master sat under the porch and gazed at the void in a trance. Hearing the sound, he looked up and saw me coming. Suddenly, he put on a melancholy face and leaned against the pillar beside him.
“Is Master’s wound very painful?” Kongbo went over to look at him. He also became nervous. “Master, wait a moment. I’ll go and get the medicine.” I looked at the empty expression, not like the master wound pain, but the master is dying.
I stood in the courtyard, watching the Master close his eyes in pain, not forgetting to look at me. I stepped forward to look at the Master’s face, hesitated for a moment, and then opened my mouth with difficulty. “Master, I heard that after the thunder punishment, the place where the thunder fell turned into scorched earth within a radius of ten miles..” The Master, still suffering, leaned his head against the pillar, frowning and saying nothing. Then
I said softly, “Is the Master badly hurt?” A word seemed to speak to the master’s heart, and the master nodded repeatedly.
My nasal cavity was sour, my eyes were red, and I hurriedly lowered my head and let the tears fall into the soil. A hand appeared in the
blurred line of sight, bent the index finger, and wiped away the water of my eyelash feathers.
I didn’t dare to look up, but I really felt the tenderness in the Master’s voice: “Forget it, aren’t we all still alive?”? You’re fine, too. “But..” “I’ve lived so long, and I don’t know how much more tragic the bloody events of ancient times were than punishment of thunder.” He saw that I was still crying, and before he could say any more comforting words, he felt a new sense of confusion. “Why are you still crying?”? Do you think I’m dying? No.. I just think it’s going to hurt. I wiped my tears with my sleeve, but I couldn’t stop myself. “I know the Master is very powerful, but no matter how powerful a person is, it hurts when he is hurt, and he can split the earth into thunder like that.” The more I said, the more sad I felt. The voice behind me turned into a continuous cry. I hung my head and dared not look at the Master.
Master patted me on the head. “If you keep crying like that, I won’t be able to tell you what to do.” Master is still sleepwalking.
Later, I suggested the Master to think of other ways to cure the disease, but the Master refused.
When I was in Fuyadong Mansion, the Master asked me to go out, not because he wanted to talk to Miaoye about how to sell me for medical treatment, but because he asked Miaoye what he called “the first time we met.”.
Miao Ye is sure that he has seen the Master.
The Master felt that since the first sale had been completed, there should be no problem in informing the buyer of the contents.
Then Miao Ye agreed, and Miao Ye said that he had saved a person here at the cost of a memory. At
this point, Master Zheng ordered me to move his tea set to the side of the fish pond.
Since the injury, the master seems to be particularly clingy to me, even the empty berth will begin to express concern about their status.
Because the Master was still sleepwalking at night, he would come to me, so I discussed with Kongbo that I would watch the Master at night. Another
night, the dark night covered the sky, only two lights in the master’s room were still on, the room was dimly lit, I sat on the low couch and looked at the shadow behind the screen.
Master’s back was reflected on the screen by candlelight, with tall and straight posture and broad shoulders.
I was holding my cheek and staring at the shadow in a trance when the Master’s voice came from behind the screen: “Have you burned incense?” Only then did I remember that I had not. I answered and got up to take the tranquilizing incense and light it.
The Master turned out from behind the screen, dressed in a blue robe, with his long hair tied up and spread out, more like an immortal with pure heart and few desires than in the daytime.
I looked at him in a trance and had a bold idea in my mind.
“Master.” Master was sitting on the edge of the bed taking off his shoes when he heard the noise and looked up at me. “What are you doing?” “You’ve lived so long, have you ever had a fairy confess to you?” “Why do you ask?” Master looked at me strangely.
I felt that perhaps the Master was too shy to say anything, so I changed the angle and asked, “If the female immortal doesn’t have..” Are they all male immortals? The Master pinched his boots in his hand and almost threw them as weapons. If
I am in the house, the Master will not wander around because of sleepwalking. When I heard
him breathing heavily, I knew he was asleep. In the
darkness, the incense at the head of the Master’s bed is scarlet, gorgeous and treacherous in the silent darkness. The quality of
Master’s incense is better than mine. I was so sleepy that I wanted to squint for a while, but I was caught in a nightmare. In the
dream, the forest was burned to scorched earth, and the smoke hovered in the air without seeing the sun. The Master sat on the scorched earth, holding me in his arms. I have never seen Master’s eyes so sad.
My legs had been blackened and merged with the color of the earth. Knowing that my life was not long, I handed a handful of earth to the master.
“This is the soil of Pinglin.” My weak voice will be blown away by the wind at any time. “Find a place where there is no trace of people, and the forest will be reborn.” Master took the earth, and then I showed a relaxed smile and closed my eyes heavily.
The next day, the Master woke me up.
I didn’t expect that I would sleep so deeply. I sat up in a daze, only to hear the Master still muttering, “What you’re burning here is not tranquilizing incense. Isn’t this soul-inducing incense?” The Master, who had just finished studying the incense burner, came over again, clasped my chin with his big hand, and turned left and right to observe carefully. “Do you feel anything wrong?”. “No, I just slept a little deeper.” “The little immortals can’t stand the soul-inducing incense. If the stimulation is too strong, the soul will leave the body and cannot be recovered.” The Master let go of me and said, “If you don’t feel right, come and find me.” I answered, yawned and left the master’s room. At this time, the morning glow in the garden was red. I suddenly recalled the turbulent fire in my dream and the desolate look of the master.
I sat at the gate of Fengyang Palace for an hour and decided to go to Fuyadong Mansion. I didn’t dare to tell Shizun about
going to Black Feather Mountain, and I had to come back before dark. Through the long passage
again, Miaoye was still sitting on the high platform, but it was different from the last time we met. There was a crack like a moire
on Miano’s face.
He was surprised to see me again. Although his eyes made of stone were dull, his eyebrows were already open.
“How’s it going?” Miono was very excited and asked me, “Do you want to trade?” What happened to your face? Last time I remember, his face was flat.
Miono sighed, and the vines around him crawled up to his face, like palms, and stroked his cheeks. “This body won’t be long. I need a physical body to hold my soul.” Miono looked at me again. “You are the only one.” “Why?” I’m confused.
“Because you’re going to die sooner or later.” Miao Ye answered.
“Doesn’t everyone die?” I felt even more as if Miuno was being perfunctory. “It’s just that you’re more greedy for life.” “My problems are not important, but your problems are.” Miaoye’s melancholy disappeared, and he became excited again. “Do you want to devote yourself to curing him behind the Master’s back?” “No, Master doesn’t want to cure the illness.” Miaoye’s expression fell silent.
“But I have something to ask.” “You want to see the lost memories of the Master..” Miaoye’s words put my mind to the core, and I was shocked. I don’t know how he knew it, but Miaoye on the stage sighed, “How nice it would be to cure the disease..” As he spoke, Miaoye stretched out his vines, gathered in midair, slowly transformed, and finally turned into a brown box.
Myono shook the box, clattering, and his tone was not as expected. “You know my rules. If you want something, you have to pay the price.” “What do you want?” “I want four hundred years of Dharma.” I paused and hesitated for a moment. “Three hundred years, if you take away all my Dharma, I will be noticed when I see the Master again.” Myono shook his head.
I thought in silence: “Can 300 years of life replace 100 years of Dharma?” Miao Ye looked up, seemed to be interested, pondered for a while, holding the box, stretched out in front of me.
“Cui Nian Xian, before you look at it, you have to swear that you can’t reveal a word about what’s in this box, or you will die tragically.” I hold out my hand and swear.
Miaoye put the box in my hand, and at the end he did not forget to remind me: “The oath I made here in Miaoye is very effective. Those who are immortals in the Green Year should remember it.” I held the wooden box in both hands. The brown box felt heavy. The growth rings of the trees became the decorative patterns of the box. My eyes fell on the seal on the box.
“Why is the seal of this box broken?” Miao Ye picked out his eyes with vines and wiped them carefully with rags, not hearing at all.
The warm wind surged, and I fell into the memory of the master.
I thought that this memory, with the temperature of spring breeze, must be a good memory.
Memory is a verdant dense forest, towering trees crowded together, the master walking in the forest, wearing human clothes, not so cold and lonely from the world today, if not recognize the immortal, I am afraid I will only think that here is a mortal. Suddenly there was a thick fog in the
mountain forest, and the milky white water vapor spread over. The Master covered his face with the sleeve of his robe, and waited for the thick fog to recede a little before putting it down. In
the misty distance, there was a vague shadow, and the voice echoed in the forest, soft and ethereal.
“This is no place for human beings. Go back.” When the Master heard this, he stood up straight, bent his lips, and gently waved his sleeves. The mist in the
forest receded, and the woman’s beautiful face was revealed in the mist.
The Master replied, “I am not a human being..” The next moment, the woman raised her eyebrows and raised her hand sharply. The wind was blowing and the green leaves were flying together. “That’s a monster!”
She shouted coldly. The Master was surprised, and the leaves around him passed by, cutting his robe and flesh. He did not expect that his life was beautiful in front of him, but his temper was frightening, so he quickly revealed his identity.
The woman’s guard receded, the tight body relaxed, and the tense atmosphere dispersed. Tranquility was restored in the
mountain forest.
It was the first encounter between the Master and the mountain God. At that time, nine out of ten human monsters were killed by the Master. I heard that Pinglin Forest was the only place in Kyushu where there were no evil things, so the Master wanted to have a look. Although
the mountain God has a fierce temper, he takes great care of the life of the vegetation in the mountains. He is either preparing to patrol the mountains or on the way to patrol the mountains. Master and the mountain God get along with each other, and every bit of daily life forms a thread, which is tied to their fingertips. Master’s 35,000 years have witnessed the vicissitudes of heaven and earth, which are changing rapidly. I hope that in his long life, he can pick up some memorable fragments and have ties with others.
Master has found it.
But the next moment it was lost.
In early spring, when Wisteria was in full bloom at night, the earth trembled on the mountain of Pinglin, and a hundred-foot monster emerged from the depths of the earth. There are also magic objects
in Pinglin, but I slept too long.
The monster belongs to fire, standing in the forest of Pinglin Forest like a huge torch, spitting out a raging fire in its wide mouth, igniting the whole sky.
Mountain God cloth rain, but to no avail, the fire is not a real flame, but the demon trapped for many years of anger and malice.
The Master fought with the demon in the high altitude, so he had no time to take care of the mountain God, nor did he find the compassion on the face of the mountain God.
It was not until the voice of the mountain God shouting “Stop” echoed in the flames that the Master realized that the mountain God had taken off his Dharma and walked toward the demon with a gentle look he had never seen before. His legs had already been burned to charcoal black by the flames, but he was still smiling. He stretched out his palm and stroked the toes of the demon.
In a flash, the flames of the magic object receded all over the body, and the vigorous blue color, like the waves, floated all over the other side.
The mountain God finally calmed the demon’s anger with his own life.
Magic objects turn into wind and smoke and scatter everywhere.
The drizzle finally took effect, and the fire in the forest of Pinglin gradually went out.
And the Master sat in the scorched earth with the mountain God in his arms, not knowing what to do. The remaining Wisteria
nearby was beaten by the rain and fell to the ground. The
flowering period is over.
The mountain God was in so much pain that he couldn’t speak to him in his usual tone. He could only suppress his trembling, so that he didn’t look as fierce as he used to. “Ming Zhi, it’s the last time. Smile.” Master hugged him more tightly.
“When a mountain God dies, there is no reincarnation.” With all her strength, she took out a handful of earth from her sleeve, wrapped it in silk, and handed it to him. “This is the earth in the forest of Pinglin that has not been polluted by evil. If you can, find a place where humans can’t find it. Scatter it, scatter it..” The forest will grow again. The Master agreed, calling the name of the mountain God over and over again.
The mountain God never woke up.
The Master pinched her body tightly. His eyes were scarlet, as if he had made a decision. When he closed his eyes, the mark on the immortal’s forehead appeared, and the bright and warm streamer converged on her forehead.
Three souls and six souls, the fetal light is the first, the master is the mountain God, tear off the fetal light soul, cross to the mountain God.
As if making a final farewell, the Master kissed the forehead of the mountain God, and the soul of the fetal light melted into the body of the mountain God. In
a moment, the body of the mountain God turned into a faint light and disappeared on the land.
Later, the Master walked a long way with the earth. The place where he stopped was covered with yellow sand for thousands of miles, but no birds or animals were seen. He sprinkled the earth into the fine sand, and the yellow sand turned into black earth, which stretched for hundreds of miles. On the black earth, the green plants grew crazily and turned into forests.
I know the name of this forest, Fusen, where I have lived for hundreds of years.
The Master fulfilled the wish of the mountain God and went to Fuyadong Mansion in Heiyu Mountain.
Four hundred years ago, Miaoye still had eyes, and the red pupils were like a red moon. The Master told Miaoye that he wanted to revive the mountain God. Miaoye heard about the mountain God. Although he was a fallen immortal, he admired the mountain God very much.
“Knowing that you saved her, I will pay less.” Miaoye thought for a moment, then suddenly asked, “Do you admire her?” Master nodded. “How much do you admire me?”
Asked Miuno. “Till death do us part.” “Well, I want the memory of you and her. After that, there will be no such person in the immortal way of the Master.” “Good.” The Master frowned invisibly. Before the memory was
cut off, Miaoye said, “You gave your soul to the mountain God. If your soul is incomplete, you may not be able to live for a thousand years. The mountain God has no soul after he dies. If you rely on your soul to be reborn, I’m afraid you won’t be able to live for a thousand years. Is that really the case?”. Memory has come to an end. Only then did
I understand why this memory had a temperature.
Although it is cruel, it is precious to the Master.
Myono is a real businessman, and he said he would give me some stories.
I sat on the ground with the box in my hands, and my voice echoed in the cave, “I am the reincarnation of the mountain God. You want my body because you know that I will not live to be a thousand years old.” Miaoye lowered his head, and the stone’s eyes could not distinguish the line of sight, but I felt that his eyes fell on the box.
“You came to me because you remembered.” Miuno stretched out a vine and took the box from my arms, gently stroking the cracks in the spell. “But I didn’t think of all of it.” Miaoye looked up and said, “You have given up your life and wasted the master’s painstaking efforts.” At nightfall, I returned to the residence of the Master.
I sat under the Wisteria tree and gazed at the Milky Way, which had just appeared in the ninth day.
The light was dim, and the Master didn’t see me clearly. When he passed by, he was startled. He stroked his heart and stared at me. “Where did you come from?”? Scared me.. No one can be found anywhere in the daytime. I turned to the Master and said, “What are you looking for me for?” The other thought for a moment and looked a little embarrassed. “It’s not a big deal, but the immortal in my palace has suddenly disappeared. I have to ask.” “Afraid I’ll run away?” Master stared at me to retort. I patted the bench beside me, which was still half empty. “Sit down, Master.” It was not polite, and in some ways I offended the Master, but the Master sat down with his robe closed.
I asked the Master, “The Master has saved countless lives. How did those people repay you?” The Master thought for a moment: “Set up a statue, build a temple, offer sacrifices and kneel down to worship.” “Do you like this one?” I’m surprised.
“It’s a human way of expressing gratitude and hoping to hold your thigh the next time there’s a crisis.” Master took his hand and looked at the same star with me. “I don’t think this is something to be grateful for. It’s just that I’ve lived a long time and have more ability. I can help if I can.” “Are you willing to give your life?” “What’s the matter with you today?” The Master withdrew his gaze and turned to look at me. “Did someone tell you there was going to be a catastrophe?”? Don’t believe everything you say. There will always be a few immortals every year who can’t calculate accurately. “What kind of person would it be that could make the Master give his life to save him?” The Master looked at me, probably because I looked serious. He lowered his eyes and thought about it carefully.
“Catastrophe.” “Then I must be your catastrophe..” I reached out to pick the cracks on the bench.
Catastrophe? No, no, no.. Waving his hand, the Master said, “You are a mountain. In my 35,000 years as an immortal, I have never been able to climb over it on my own.” I laughed out loud.
“You’re not yourself today.” The Master asked me, “Did Cui Nian encounter any setbacks today?” “That’s not true, but I’ve heard some stories that make me sad.” I lowered my head and straightened the hem of my clothes. Then I said softly, “Thank you, Master.” The Master looked at me as if he had seen a ghost. It
was going to be midnight, and I had to put the Master to sleep for a while, so I stood up to leave, but I forgot that the Master was sitting at the other end of the bench.
The thirty-five-thousand-year-old Master fell to the ground, his face white.
On the second day after duty, I went to Uncle Ban’s shop.
Uncle Ban is famous in heaven. He can do anything and repair anything.
But they are also notoriously expensive.
Uncle Ban’s home is about the same size as Master’s residence if you throw away the yard, but there are too many things, and the spacious space is filled with all kinds of things. When
I went in, the floor was covered with bits and pieces, and Uncle Ban was hunched in the middle of the floor, not knowing what he was doing.
I called out, “Uncle Ben.” Uncle Ban suddenly looked up, and his gray beard and hair were about to be linked together.
Seeing me coming, Uncle Ban said, “Cui Nian, what are you going to buy today?” Smile like a rip-off profiteer.
“Not to buy things..” I struggled to find my way among the many objects, and when I reached Uncle Ban, I squatted down beside him. “I want to ask Uncle Ban to fix something.” “All right.” Uncle Ben stretched out his hand. “Show me what you have.” I slapped the palm of his hand. “I can’t get it out.” “How can I fix it if I can’t get it out?” “It’s not the object that you have to fix.” I looked at him. It’s the soul. “When Uncle Ben heard what I said, he waved his hand and closed the door with magic. He sat on the ground for a long time, and his old voice came out of his throat.” Here, you can, but this is a secret art. If you don’t use it well, you’ll die. You have to think about it. ” Uncle Ben is the second person who has advised me to think twice recently.
“I came after thinking about it.” I lowered my head and took out the gold and silver from my sleeve. “I promise, no one will know that you gave me the forbidden art.” I got the forbidden art to practice secretly, and gradually became skilled. I waited for the night before the selection of the earth fairy, and put the forbidden art on the master.
But Shizun did not forget the matter of the selection of earth immortals.
That day I followed Kongbo back. Master seemed to be waiting all the time. When he saw me coming back, he stopped me.
“The selection process for the Earth Immortal is drawing near. Have you practiced any of your subjects recently?” “Practice often and never forget.” The Master seemed to have a plan. “Let’s go.” I said goodbye to Kongbo and could only follow the Master out.
Master led me to the grassland in heaven again, but it was early morning before, I had never been here at night, nor did I know that this Qingyuan would blossom at night, a large area of rich red like blood, like a big fire on Qingyuan.
Master stood in the fire and gave me the sword.
I didn’t answer. “I can practice by myself. Master really doesn’t need to waste time on me.” The Master did not take back his sword, and his face darkened slightly. “Have you not practiced?” I have only a hundred years left. Once I fight with him and the matter is exposed, what excuse should I use to prevaricate?
“The Master has never let me down in a fight. The little fairy is very frustrated, and there are few monsters like the Master today.” I turned around and wanted to go back to Fengyang Palace. “Then I’ll go and find other people who will take part in the selection to practice.” When the wind blew behind me, the Master suddenly made a move, and I quickly turned around to fight with magic.
Without three hundred years of magic blessing, I flew far away directly, and finally fell on the grass, petals and grass seeds were smashed into the air by me.
I lay on the ground and didn’t get up for a long time. The
sky is full of stars, and there is the figure of the Master.
The Master had a cold face and anger in his eyes.
“What about your Dharma?” I told the Master that when I was in Fusen, I fell in love with a mortal. Later, the prisoner was eaten by a tiger. After three hundred years of Taoism, I was reborn as a mortal.
The Master was so angry with me that his eyes turned red. Although I told a lie, I was telling the truth.
It’s just that the one you want to save has been replaced by a mortal from a teacher.
The Master asked me who I had given the Dharma to. I closed my eyes and pretended to be deaf and dumb.
Then I was picked up by the Master and returned to Fengyang Palace.
The Master locked me in the room, as if to punish me. One day, the person who came to deliver the meal suddenly changed. When I stood in the same place with the food box, I didn’t react for a moment.
Kong Bo put the food on the table and saw how heartless I was. He stretched out his cheeks and sighed, “You, who gave me the courage? I’ve only lived for more than four hundred years, three hundred years of Taoism. I’ll give it to you if you say so..” “That’s because the Immortal has not met this person yet.” I sipped my tea and went on eating. “When I meet the immortal, I’ll understand.” Kong Bo looked at my eyes, clearly wrote: I do not want to understand.
“Master asked me to come, probably because he wanted me to see you..” “Will you look at me?” I suddenly came to the spirit.
「…… See if you have the heart to repent. Kong Bo said the rest of the words with an expressionless face. I
took part in the selection because I needed to find a legitimate reason for myself. The death of celestial immortals would be traced to the cause of death. If it was an accidental death during the trial, then Fengyang Palace, Uncle Ban, and Miaoye could all be left behind. Think
carefully, after all, it is for one thing, so do not regret.
Kong Bo had never seen what I looked like when I regretted it. Seeing that I was holding my eyebrows and lamenting what I shouldn’t have done at the beginning, I believed it. I had worked with Kong Bo for so long, and Kong Bo also expressed sympathy for my affairs. Then he sighed and said that I would go back and tell the Master. I was released the
next day.
Master was smarter than Kong Bo, probably because he thought I was full of lies, so he gave me a ban. Wherever he went, I followed him. My
mouth was so cheap that I asked, “In the future, even if the Master changes his clothes, takes a bath and goes to the toilet, will the little fairy be inseparable?” The Master didn’t like what I was doing. “I don’t care,” he said, “as long as you’re not embarrassed.” He was just afraid that I would sign up, but because of sleepwalking, it was not easy to encircle me.
The selection is still three days away. There are always more ways than difficulties to get something
done.
Xiao Ni is still on duty in Fengyang Palace.
I asked her to help me go to the selection office to submit the jade card, the selection of earth immortals is not as strict as the God, as long as the jade card can be handed over to the God, even if it is signed up.
Just in case, I also gave Xiao Ni a letter, saying that I was too busy to come, so I had to ask my colleagues to sign up on my behalf. I didn’t dare to let Xiao Ni wander around the Master’s residence, but Xiao Ni was very clever. She pretended to be on duty at the gate of Fengyang Palace and stood there waiting for the Master to appear. When she saw me, she made a gesture to me: It’s done!
The master looked back at me, and I quickly withdrew my hand. I counted the
last two days, and even sleep was a waste. I had not been a fairy for a long time, and I knew that death was coming, but my heart would still tremble suddenly in the long silent night.
Shizun’s ban was not lifted. I couldn’t sleep in the middle of the night. I got up from the couch and walked through the dark room. I reached out to open the curtain. Shizun lay flat on the bed, his eyebrows and eyes stretched, defenseless.
I sat down on the edge of the bed and traced his face carefully with my eyes.
Master is the kind of immortal who can move forward bravely even if he bears the pain.
I thought so, picking up the broken hair stuck to his cheek with my fingers. Unexpectedly
, Shizun opened his eyes.
He was not quite awake yet, and his mind was rising inch by inch, and his eyes were clear.
The Master was not in a hurry. He looked at my face for a while to make sure that I was normal. He asked me in a subdued voice, “Cui Nian, what are you doing?” Strangling my throat, I felt a sense of panic, because the master’s words disappeared, but I was magnanimous.
I put the lock of hair on my fingertip behind the master’s ear and raised my eyes quietly.
Master, if you don’t untie me, I’m afraid you’ll have to go to the toilet with me.
The Master closed his eyes again and waved his hand. The night before the selection of the
Earth Immortal, I put a forbidden spell on the Master. As long as I die, the soul of the fetal light will return to the Master.
In the evening, I was afraid that the Master would wake up too early, so I added a few sleeping tips to him. Before I
entered the testing ground, I was very nervous. I was afraid that the effect of falling asleep would not be good, and the master would wake up and catch me on the spot.
When I entered the testing ground, the fear of being caught fell, and the nervousness of fear of death rose again. Any magic object in the
trial field, now I am no match, relying on the care of other immortals, I can barely walk halfway. Everyone
thought the most powerful one was at the end, but it was in the middle.
The monster is like a mountain, and even the air is buzzing when it roars.
The immortals themselves could not be protected, and if they wanted to be immortals, they had to pass the test. During the emotional agitation, some people began to be dissatisfied with me, and even felt that if it were not for the master, I would not be able to enter the selection of immortals at all.
I was silent until everyone finished and stood up.
“Since I can’t help, I’ll be the bait, and you take the opportunity to kill.” The air was hot, and my forehead and neck were covered with sweat. I rubbed it casually and went to the magic object.
Someone grabbed me and told me to calm down.
I brushed his hand away. “I’m calmer than ever.” The immortals watched me walk out of the crowd and towards the magic object.
I didn’t expect myself to be so brave at the moment, as if I had returned to the grassland where I fought with my master’s weapon.
Yes, I’m not even afraid of the Master. What am I afraid of now?
Nine got up late.
Master climbed down from the bed, lifted the curtain, and went out to find that Cui Nian had gone. He
used to wake up earlier than her, and when he went out, Cui Nian was still curled up on the couch, sleeping in a daze.
He looked at the window again. The sun was already higher than eaves, and the sky was shining. At this time, Cui Nian should have gone to Fengyang Palace with Kong Bo.
One side thought, the other side had already changed a suit of clothes, can not help but go to Fengyang Palace to find Cui Nian, the master later realized the reaction. Since when does it become so natural?
Master suddenly remembered the dream-like night of yesterday, the gentle sadness of Cuinian’s paint-like eyes, the temperature of his fingers on his face. To the Fengyang Palace, in the hall, did not see the figure of Cui Nian, only empty.
Kong Bo was walking out of the door with the book in his arms when he saw the Master standing in the hall. He was stunned for a moment. “Master..” “What about Cui Nian?” Master looked at the empty hall and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
“Cui Nian says you have something to tell her to do, and you’re not on duty today..” Master turned his head and walked out of the hall, riding the wind away, regretting very much in his heart. I shouldn’t have believed her story
last night.
He landed in the testing ground. The oracle at the gate stopped him. Without saying a word, the Master was trapped by a method of immobilization. He strode in. A man destroyed the monster in the testing ground and went in to look for someone.
By the time they saw the immortals trapped in the middle of the journey, they were already at the end of their strength. When they looked back and saw him, hope was kindled in their eyes. They called out to the “Master” one after another and gathered around.
Master looked around among the many dusty faces, but he didn’t see the person he was looking for.
“What about Cui Nian?” He asked the immortal. Everyone’s
face changed, but no one answered.
“When you come in, you all report to the immortal rank to which you belong. It’s impossible not to know the immortal of the Green Year.” The Master’s voice sank. “Where is the man?” Finally, someone, unable to withstand the pressure of the Master, quietly spoke out in the dead silence: “She said she was going to be the bait to attract the attention of the monster, so that we could wait for an opportunity to do it..” It’s probably bad luck. In the distance, the monster roared and shook the sky. It was the first time that the immortals saw the murder in the eyes of the Master. There was no anger or hatred on the Master’s face. He just calmly turned around, turned his hand and offered his sword, and walked towards the monster.
Just like Cui Nian before, there is no hesitation.
Master jumped, his figure disappeared in place, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of the monster.
With only one sword, the head of the monster was connected to the tendons and veins, and it hit the ground heavily, smashing the gravel and trees, with a “boom.”.
Master’s eyes did not miss every corner around, after all, did not see the familiar shadow.
He had to call out her name.
No one responded.
Master’s chest rose and fell, his fingertips were cold, his ears were buzzing, and he felt a splitting headache. Can’t
find it, still can’t find it.
The immortals had never seen such ups and downs of the Master’s emotions. They all knew that something big had happened. No one dared to rest and look around. It was discovered
after all.
The immortal shouted loudly, attracting the crowd to gather around, and the voices of the people subsided in an instant.
The immortal fell to the ground and stepped forward to push aside the crowd. Only then did he see clearly. The person who
first discovered Cui Nian held her in his arms. Cui Nian’s eyebrows and eyes were no longer fresh, her pale cheeks and blood were shocking, and her arms hanging on the ground were already deformed. The voice of
the immortal also changed: “The internal damage is too serious, and the heart is shattered.” The moment Master saw Cui Nian, it was like a cold winter. The people around him seemed to have disappeared. He stared at Cui Nian and walked over like an evil spirit, snatching people from each other’s arms.
How did this happen? It was fine yesterday. It’s not moving now.
The Master patted her face. “Wake up! Hello!” His voice trembled, the man in his arms remained motionless, and the Master was rarely afraid. The elbow
suddenly felt tight, and the touch made the Master turn around. He looked down and saw his bloody hand. Because he couldn’t lift it, he could only pinch his elbow.
Master suddenly raised his head.
Cui Nian’s eyes opened slightly, her eyelashes trembled, and she laughed with all her strength.
Thank you.. Everything you’ve done for me. The Master watched with his own eyes as she lowered her palm and remained silent forever. The
bright and warm light came out of Cui Nian’s body and met him. It took
Master three years to repair Cui Nian’s body. The soul of the
fetal light returned to his body, and the Master got the memory of Cui Nian.
Those palpitations and happiness, tension and sadness were imprinted in his mind. The memory of the
disappeared person is an invisible torture for the living.
Cui Nian died, and Shizun finally cured sleepwalking.
But I can’t sleep anymore.
Closing my eyes, the memory of Cui Nian flooded my mouth, nose, eyes and head like the tide.
Inch by inch.
The Master was tortured by the past, and finally came to Fuyadong Mansion again.
But the fallen immortals of Miaoye had already turned into a pile of clods wrapped in vines.
Master stayed in the cave mansion for three days. Before he left, he moved a huge stone and sealed the cave door. When he went up to heaven, he left the Fengyang Palace with Cui Nian’s body and went to Fusen.
Master lived there from then on. In those days when
Cui Nian pretended to be a mountain God, he received a snake demon as a God. When he came back again, the snake demon was still loyal. Hearing that Cui Nian had died, he was willing to help Master take care of Cui Nian’s body.
One evening, the snake demon and the Master were sitting on the steps of the cave mansion, looking at the dazzling sunset. The snake demon could not help but comfort the Master: “I know the Master has a knot in his heart, but Cui Nian had no soul in his previous life. He nurtured his soul by the connection between the dead and the living. This was all the story of Nu Wa’s generation in the prehistoric times.” “What are you trying to say?” The snake demon picked his head and said, “I’m just sad to see you, but if you disappear, you disappear. If you can’t rebuild your soul, Master, you have to take it easy. After all, we’re just taking a chance now.”
“I know.” Master looked at the setting sun and leaned his elbow against the stone steps, tapping his fingertips. “But every time she treats me like this, I feel suffocated.” The snake demon was secretly surprised that the master, who had not moved in front of the eight winds, felt like a resentful woman now.
In the end, the snake demon did not stop the Master. After all, it was good for the Master to have something to do.
The turnaround came in the early morning of the first day of junior high school. When
the snake demon came back from the mountain patrol that day, he suddenly heard a bang in the house. The snake demon was so frightened that he thought something had happened and subconsciously copied the guy to have a look.
On second thought, it’s not quite right. If someone
really wants to compete with the master, the master will not lose.
So the snake demon put it away properly and went into the house fair and square. With water
all over the floor and an overturned washbasin, the Master looked at the opposite bed as if he had seen a ghost.
The snake demon followed the master’s line of sight, and somehow Cui Nian on the bed sat up and opened his eyes.
A pair of dark and bright eyes, like a newborn cub, clean and clear, not stained with fine dust.
Snake demon all over hair, the first reaction is also live to see a ghost, then the reaction came over, pregnant with the soul of this matter, mostly become.
But now the Year of the Green is no longer a “Year of the Green,” but a newly born life, and the mind is mostly just an animal cub. The snake demon pondered and quietly twisted his head to see the master.
Master’s eyes were covered with tears.
Cui Nian smiled at him.
It was early spring, and the Wisteria outside the cave was also in bloom. A spring rain had just passed this morning, and the sun could be seen through the clouds.
Only the rain on the Wisteria, remember the misty drizzle before.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I found the Master sleeping in my arms.
I said lightly, “If you don’t believe me, Master, you can ask Kongbo.” When the fundus is black, the light of the fundus is instantly solidified. I wish I could. Can I move my hands? I cursed secretly and kicked the kneecap of the three-headed monster to vent my hatred. The Master in front of me was a hundred times more terrible than three-headed monster. The Master controlled me with one hand and opened my skirt with his fingertips. Master said he wanted to see me. The moment I opened the box, memories came to my face. I replied with a gesture: “You are so great!”! It’s a new beginning.
