Destined?
Gu Chen didn't know why Qingyangzi thought there was a connection between the two, because Qingyangzi had only helped him a few times and saved him a few times. Was it because they happened to meet each other, so he was said to be destined?
But if you really want to talk about it this way, Gu Chen feels that he is more destined to Yang Chan, more connected to Qingfeng, and more connected to Zhang Dashan.
He lives with Zhang Dashan now, but where is Yang Chan? And what about Qingfeng?
Qingyangzi smiled slightly and looked at Gu Chen, the more he looked at him, the more satisfied he became.
This child's temperament and aptitude far exceeded his expectations. Especially when he saw Gu Chen's reaction when dealing with Yunzhi and Yinggui, he was even more lovable. More importantly, every time he looked at Gu Chen like this Chen, it was as if he was looking at his younger self.
Fate, maybe it started at that glance, right?
It was as if I had some regrets and finally found an opportunity to make up for it.
Gu Chen shook his head and said, "I have learned from someone before."
Adding "guo" after "you" has a completely different meaning. Qingyangzi was not surprised and said: "You abandoned your cultivation, didn't you?"
Gu Chen looked up at him in astonishment, but then he understood.
The injuries on his body that resulted from his self-destruction may not be visible to ordinary people, but for people with cultivation levels like Qingyangzi, it is natural to know the root cause and the cause at a glance. However, Gu Chen later recovered from all his injuries and was reborn. There is also a faint trace of Yuan Power in the meridians. This is probably something that even Qingyangzi did not expect. A person who abandoned his cultivation actually embarked on the path of cultivating immortality again.
"I have abandoned my cultivation, cut off the path to immortality, and returned to the mortal world. I will no longer have the fate of the past. It is a kind of fate. Reshaping the meridians and ascending to the path of immortality again. Such a strange encounter is another kind of fate. When you and I meet, we Seeing you, isn't this also a kind of fate? Now that you are a new student, you naturally have nothing to do with the past. I will not ask about your past. Are you willing to follow me? "
Gu Chen was silent and lowered his head. He knew that he was about to face the second major choice in his life, and this choice would determine the path he really wanted to take.
As for the first choice, he once raised his sword to the nine heavens, causing thunder to destroy the meridians.
Pedestrians were passing by on the road, and those who built the wall in the west of the town looked at the sky and returned one after another.
It was actually not too late, but after experiencing such a nightmare, they still couldn't believe that the chaos had subsided. They looked into the depths of the dark woods from time to time, only to feel that it was still chilling.
The path became lively at first, and then gradually became deserted.
Gu Chen looked back and saw Zhang Dashan walking out of the bun shop and walking towards him step by step.
The night wind blew by, and he suddenly felt a little cold. He tightened his clothes and suddenly asked: "Yang Chan... where is she?"
Qingyangzi said: "She was taken away and went to the Yinnu Cult."
Gu Chen blamed himself a little, blaming himself for not being able to take her away, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Is she... okay?"
"Hope she's okay!"
Gu Chen's heart sank slightly, but Qingyangzi didn't want to hide his intention. After thinking about it, he told him what he knew.
"For female cultivators, the Yinnu Cult is a dream place, but that dream may be a sweet dream or a nightmare. You must know that there is no pure land in the world of cultivating immortals, and there will be horror and darkness wherever you go. She embarked on this path , these have to be endured. Elder Yun has deep cultivation and strong behavior. He has long been dissatisfied with his position as an elder. This time he will go back to work. She has high hopes for the child. She thinks that he can worship under her sect, and the same should be true for the child. The best choice.”
Thinking of Yun Zhi's actions, Gu Chen suddenly became unhappy and said, "What kind of person is that Elder Yun?"
Qingyangzi was stunned, with a slightly complicated look on his face, and said, "A poor man living in the past."
Gu Chen looked at him, Qingyangzi just smiled.
Gu Chen nodded, turned around and walked away, facing Zhang Dashan who was approaching.
"I leave early tomorrow morning, and I will wait for you before then."
Qingyangzi said calmly, while looking at Gu Chen's thin figure fading away, the moonlight lengthening his shadow, he looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and suddenly smiled bitterly: "Poor people living in the past... …Hehe, who isn’t?”
That night, Gu Chen was lying on the bed, his eyes not closing for a long time. He didn't sleep because he still had something on his mind.
Qingyangzi's words caused ripples in his heart. For him, embarking on the path of cultivating immortality again was something that he had never dared to think about before, because everyone knew that a cultivator who abandoned his cultivation would soon Once you become a mortal, you will no longer have any hope of becoming a celestial being, and you will even be worse off than ordinary people. Who dares to think that your abolished meridians will be reborn.
The rebirth of meridians is something that is difficult to explain, and the sword shape formed by his meridians still looks like the Pure Jun Immortal Sword. This leaves many doubts in Gu Chen's mind. The dragon is imprisoned under the Dragon Prison Peak. Jiandi, what happened during the three months he guarded the sword?
Gu Chen thought to himself that maybe if he started cultivating immortality again, one day he would be able to solve these mysteries, but...
The small dark corner outside the Qingmu Town Inn was dirty and cold. Two small figures once sat there chatting. The innocent words rang in his mind again and again. The boy said he wanted to take the girl away. The girl said she wanted to live with the boy, then they left there, then the girl left the boy…
Gu Chen opened his eyes and stared blankly at the roof.
This is where Zhang Dashan lives. He cleans it from time to time. Although the roof looks old, it is not dirty at all.
Gu Chen's mouth moved and then closed again. After a while, he moved again, then pursed his lips again without making any sound.
"Uncle Dashan, are you asleep?"
Gu Chen was sleeping on the bed, while Zhang Dashan spread a sheet on the ground, covered himself with a quilt and lay down casually, but he was not asleep yet. Hearing the words, he responded: "Not yet."
"Uncle Dashan, your buns are delicious."
"Hey, are you hungry again?"
"That's the best bun I've ever had."
"...You can eat it anytime you want."
"I owed you eight coppers before, but now I seem to owe you more. I can't even count them."
Zhang Dashan turned over, looked deeply at Gu Chen on the bed, and said, "I forgot about it."
Gu Chen still maintained his lying posture, looking at the roof blankly, and said: "How about remembering eight copper coins?"
A gentle smile appeared at the corner of Zhang Dashan's mouth and he said: "Eight copper coins is easy to remember. I will not forget it in the future."
"I will never forget it, never forget it." Gu Chen turned his head, looked at Zhang Dashan, and said softly and with full reluctance, "Uncle Dashan, I want to leave."
Zhang Dashan had just realized it, and there was no surprise. He just asked: "Is it the one I met at night?"
Gu Chen nodded.
"Is that the Immortal Master?"
Gu Chen nodded again.
"Go ahead."
Gu Chen shed tears and nodded.
I don't know how I fell asleep that night. When I woke up in the morning, I smelled the fragrance of steamed buns.
When Gu Chen came out, Zhang Dashan had already caged the buns and brought them to him on a plate. There were ones stuffed with pork, bean paste, bamboo shoots, and cabbage.
Gu Chen was silent, and then said softly: "I may not even be able to pay back those eight copper coins."
Zhang Dashan smiled and said: "It's okay, I'll treat you today."
Gu Chen looked at Zhang Dashan and said seriously: "Uncle Dashan, you will lose business if you keep doing this."
Zhang Dashan rubbed Gu Chen's head and said, "You brat, it sounds like you know how to do business."
Gu Chen shook his head. He really didn't understand, and he probably wouldn't understand in the future.
Coming down from Kunlun Mountain, he learned a lot of things that he had never experienced before, and similarly, he also learned that there are many things that he has not learned yet.
Suddenly feeling Zhang Dashan's hands trembling, Gu Chen raised his head and saw Zhang Dashan's eyes were slightly red and his face turned elsewhere.
"when are we leaving?"
"...and then leave after eating."
"Don't forget...eight copper coins."
Gu Chen nodded with tears in his eyes, tears dripping on the buns. He took a bite and felt that the buns were a little salty. Then he thought to himself, this kind of taste must have never happened before.
