The history of that year was now being recounted in Ai Ling's mouth.
The past is like smoke and is still vivid in our minds, but because it is too long ago, not many people still remember it now. The people who witnessed that scene with their own eyes have disappeared one after another with the years, and there are very few people left. And for some indescribable reasons, people who can still clearly remember that scene today are still unwilling to mention anything about those years.
This includes why Zhang Jiuxiao changed his name to Qingyangzi and why he gave up his position as the leader.
These questions also arose in Xu Mushan's heart at this time, but seeing Ai Ling's nostalgic and sad look, she seemed to be vaguely aware of it, and hid these questions in her heart, just waiting to hear Ai Ling continue to say.
"Senior brother is only a few years older than us. He has extraordinary talents and knows very well about cultivation matters. His views at the same stage are difficult to compare with even those of our elders. The methods of cultivation he understands are almost It can be said that he covers everything. There are countless young people who have risen up because of him. However, unlike the so-called geniuses of various sects today, the senior brother was extremely low-key back then. He was obviously a person with thousands of rays of light, but he was able to make himself live. He is as humble as dust, like an ordinary thing that can be seen everywhere, and people often ignore his existence."
Speaking of what happened back then, thinking of the scenes in her youth, Ai Ling, who still looks young and beautiful, also shows some nostalgia and vicissitudes at this time.
Following Ai Ling's words, Xu Mushan imagined what Qingyangzi looked like when she was young, but a figure suddenly popped up in her mind. She suddenly felt that the Qingyangzi Ai Ling mentioned - Zhang Jiuxiao when she was young, was the same as her. The Gu Chen she knew was so similar that she couldn't help but overlap the figure of the person in her imagination with Gu Chen's figure without any sense of inconsistency.
"It's hard to imagine, how could such a person live like that?"
Xu Mushan shook her head, saying that it was not difficult to imagine at all, because there was obviously such a person beside her, but she still did not speak or interrupt Ai Ling's memories.
"But no matter how low-key the sun is, it is still the sun. Even if it is shrouded by dark clouds, it will not plunge the world into darkness all of a sudden. For some people, some light is destined to be unblockable and unblockable, senior brother. He gradually became known to the entire world of immortality and became famous in the world of immortality. Although it was very late and shocked the entire world of immortality, for us, it was all natural and should have happened long ago. thing."
Ai Ling suddenly looked at Xu Mushan and said softly: "Speaking of which, although we have different teachers, we were actually taught by our senior brother. Especially the Hanxi Inviting Moon Technique that I learned is obviously the same as his." The Qingyang Royal Flame Technique is completely different, but how could he... teach it so well!?"
At this moment, Ai Ling is not speaking as Teacher Xu Mushan. At this moment, she seems to have crossed over this time and returned to her young self. She was also like this at that time, with admiration and confusion. Looking longingly at the figure that looked bland under the sunset, thinking about how he did it.
That figure was obviously so bland, but in the eyes of the girl back then, she could always discern some distinctive flavor.
That person is as light as water, as light as if he has no connection with this world, but he always has such a real sense of existence. He seems not to belong to this world. It's not that he has no place in this world, but that he has no place in this world. This world cannot fully accommodate the soul of a person like him.
Such a person is destined not to linger only in this world, but will definitely leave one day.
Ai Ling's eyes suddenly became sad. If it hadn't been for those things that happened later, the proud man who had already attracted the attention of the entire world of immortality would have been riding the east wind and soared upwards. Even with her current situation, She must be looking at this world with eyes that she cannot understand from high in the sky where even her cultivation level cannot be seen.
Time seemed to have stopped passing on Ai Ling. Deep in the lost time, the years were quiet, thick and mellow.
"With your uncle Qingyangzi's cultivation and status, the sect rules cannot restrain him at all. Even if he insists on going his own way, even if it is ordered by the head of the family, it will only be the sect that will eventually regress. But your uncle must Putting the sect first, do you know why?"
Ai Ling seemed to suddenly wake up from her memories and asked this question.
Xu Mushan shook her head repeatedly, she couldn't think of anything.
There was an unspeakable pain and regret in the depths of Ai Ling's eyes. She raised her fingers lightly, and the clouds and mist covering Yanlai Peak swirled for a while, and then dispersed, revealing a bright and sunny sky.
Ai Ling pointed directly at the clear blue sky and said, "Take a look at the world first. Is it big?"
Xu Mushan felt that she could not keep up with Ai Ling's thoughts, but she still nodded and said: "Big."
Ai Ling smiled, but then asked: "How big is it?"
Xu Mushan's lips moved slightly, but she found that she couldn't speak.
She grew up in Xuanmumen, happy and carefree. Before meeting Qingyangzi, Qingmu Town was the farthest place she had ever been. After being brought back to Qingyangmen by Qingyangzi, she got Ai Ling's There seems to be no big difference between the valuing and loving of Qingyang Gate and the life in Xuanmu Gate since childhood. If there is any, it is just that Qingyang Gate is much larger than Xuanmu Gate, and the scenery is much more beautiful. In addition, there are One thing that seems important is that no one here will interfere with arranging her marriage.
For her, Xuanmu Gate is very big. Qingmu Town is a little smaller in comparison, but still very big. Qingyang Gate is much larger than Xuanmu Gate. There are differences in size among the three, but they can still It's possible to compare, but Xu Mushan can't see how big this world is now, so there's no way to compare, so naturally it's impossible to say.
Ai Ling was not surprised by this, but she said something confusing.
"This world is very big, very big, but for immortal cultivators like us, this world will one day become smaller."
Xu Mushan blinked her eyes, full of confusion.
Ai Ling did not force Xu Mushan to understand this. Xu Mushan's cultivation was still shallow and knowing too much would be of no benefit, but she asked Xu Mushan a question.
"What would you do if you wanted to drink water but found that the cup was too small and didn't hold enough water?"
Xu Mushan replied without thinking: "After you finish drinking one glass, pour another glass."
Ai Ling was stunned and smiled bitterly. She thought that her example was too poor, so she changed it to another one.
"If you get a thumb-sized fish and raise it in a palm-sized pot, what will you do when the fish grows to the size of a palm but can continue to grow?"
Xu Mushan said without hesitation: "Put it back into the river."
In the eyes of the girl, the river is the largest, bigger than the ditch and bigger than the creek.
Ai Ling rubbed her brows, suddenly feeling like playing harp to a cow, and feeling a little tired, so she had to say again: "If you don't want to let it go and still want to keep it, what should you do?"
Fortunately, this time Xu Mushan finally gave the answer Ai Ling wanted to hear.
"Change to a bigger basin and put the fish in it."
Ai Ling nodded and sighed: "If the basin is too small, you can change it. But if the world is too small, how can you change it?"
Xu Mushan raised her head and looked at the ends of the world as far as the eye could see. She couldn't help but stretched out her hand and shook it.
That thin line in the distance, she reached out and seemed to want to grab it, but the distance that the eyes could see was still thousands of miles away, and the distance that the eyes couldn't see was still thousands of miles away. Naturally, she didn't know. It's just that I can clearly understand that the vastness of this world is so far away that it's hard to catch the end.
It is really hard to imagine that one day she will feel that this world is too small, and even want to change it.
It’s just that everything is just smoke in the past, and the past is also like smoke. Some things can’t be grasped now, so what’s the use of thinking about them more?
