After playing a game of chess, the fragrance of tea is still strong, the ancient pines are vigorous, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth flows around in the air, bringing a sense of comfort. This spiritual energy of heaven and earth is spontaneously breathed in and condensed by the Lan Sword on Gu Chen's back. Around Gu Chen.
Gu Chen's meridians are different. The past training techniques can no longer allow him to practice. However, after understanding the Lan Jue, he finally solved the problem of practice. Moreover, this Lan Jue was practiced both internally and externally, and the condensed external meridians were integrated into the Lan Sword. During the process, while the piece of iron from the meteorite was molded into a sword shape, the sword essence was continuously transformed into the inner meridians, allowing Gu Chen's practice to advance rapidly.
Today's Lan Sword is no longer just a rough blank. The simple blade can more or less reflect the pure Jun sword. It reminds Gu Chen not to forget the loss of the sword back then. That pure Jun sword is more or less visible. Where he went is still a mystery.
Qingyangzi withdrew his eyes from Lan Jian and said to Gu Chen, "I came back suddenly because I heard the news."
Gu Chen nodded, and while drinking tea, he spoke lightly, sitting face to face with Qingyangzi, as if they were chatting normally, and said: "I heard the news, I don't know whether it is true or not."
Qingyangzi said: "Do you care?"
Do you care?
Gu Chen couldn't put it into words, the feeling flowing in his heart was a bit complicated.
He must have cared about it, otherwise he wouldn't have rushed back to Qingyang Gate from Liangzhou immediately after hearing the news.
"In the past, because of the existence of Kunlun, no one dared to take this treasure land of Yuzhou. Now that Kunlun has been destroyed, the immortal sects all over the world are scrambling to be the first, not wanting this treasure land of Yuzhou to fall into the hands of others. It can be seen that time has changed and the world has changed. It is indeed not easy to compare the two. accept."
Gu Chen thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I... it's not that I can't accept it."
Qingyangzi smiled, Gu Chen's character was plain but not cowardly. In the past, he didn't understand the ways of the world. Now that he has experienced the world, his eyes can see black and white, but his mood is still detached, but he is still young after all. The Kunlun Mountain is in Gu Chen's mind Their status is different. In the final analysis, they are cherished in their hearts, but because their mental state is too high and they are too calm and rational, they cannot express their emotions.
"Do you... support this?"
Qingyangzi shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter whether I support it or not."
Gu Chen looked puzzled.
Qingyangzi said: "Whether I go to Qingyangmen or stay, this Donglai Peak will not change. I don't plan to leave."
This simple solitary peak is surrounded by mountains, but the other peaks are not popular at all, making it seem deep and lonely.
Gu Chen said: "That's right, it's not important."
Qingyangzi was slightly startled.
Gu Chen said: "Father, I'm not leaving either. Those things are too complicated and I don't like them. It's a good choice to stay here quietly and practice."
Qingyangzi didn't answer, just looked to the west, where there was a scene of residual sunlight and clouds dyed in the dusk.
The sky is very broad, and you can never see the end from a distance, but this world has an end. Qingyangzi has been to that end, so no matter how vast the sky is, the world still seems to him too small.
Gu Chen seemed to have made up his mind. As he said, he stayed at Donglai Peak and refused to leave. After practicing every day, he would drink tea and play chess with Qingyangzi, and then listen to Qingyangzi's words. An experience in the past.
Qingyangzi talked to Gu Chen about Kyushu, the world, and the Eight Wastelands, some things that Gu Chen rarely touched on in the past. In just a few days, through Qingyangzi's narration, he learned one by one that he was slowly I slowly feel that my understanding of this world is still too little, and what is the situation outside the world?
Whenever he thought of this, Gu Chen couldn't help but look at the distant horizon. Suddenly he was startled and looked towards Qingyangzi. He suddenly understood why Qingyangzi often looked into the distance, and he was unwilling to let it go. The silent heart resides in the secluded and silent body in front of him. At this time, in Gu Chen's eyes, it is full of contradictions and seems out of place.
He suddenly couldn't understand, Qingyangzi was not a person who would be willing to be silent, so why did he choose silence?
"Father..."
Qingyangzi saw through Gu Chen's thoughts and smiled: "Some things are too early for you. Although this world has an end, it is still very big for you. There are still many places worth exploring. You It’s too early to want to stay here with me now.”
In these days, Qingyangzi told Gu Chen a lot about things in this world and beyond, and the reason couldn't be clearer at this time.
"But……"
"You don't have to worry about me. There is a reason for my choice. Until one day, when you feel that this world is too small, at that time, you will know what my reason is."
When Gu Chen heard this, he could only nod. Now that Qingyangzi refused to say it, he could only wait until the day when Qingyangzi was willing to say it.
"Now that the situation is changing, it's useless for you to stay here. Go to Yuzhou." Qingyangzi watched Gu Chen finish his tea and poured him another cup, "Escape from those things you care about but don't like is not the right choice. , it is better to go and take a look nearby, you will always know what you should do. If you hide and worry about it, it will only become your worry forever. If you are out of sight and your mind is not calm, it will be of no use to your practice."
Gu Chen nodded and said, "I'll leave tomorrow."
Qingyangzi smiled and said, "Then let's play another game of chess."
"good."
At dawn the next day, Gu Chen left Qingyang Gate and headed west.
As Qingyangzi said, he is going to Yuzhou.
Donglai Peak fell silent again. While Qingyangzi was drinking tea, he looked at the chessboard left with Gu Chen. There were two black and white pieces on it, so entangled that they were inextricably intertwined.
If you look closely, you can see that White's attack is strong, while Black's defense is strong.
Qingyangzi's right hand trembled slightly, he smiled softly, activated the Yuan Power to block it, and his right hand also became quiet. He looked into the distance, very far away, as if he wanted to see through the sky.
"You all come here."
Chen Yong, Ma Biao, and Liu Tangtang rushed over. They had been servants at Donglai Peak for ten years. This was the first time Qingyangzi summoned them. The three of them were very nervous.
Qingyangzi said: "You should also go down the mountain."
Qingyangzi's words made the three of them change their colors and kneel down quickly.
"I don't know what I did wrong, disciple. Please give us another chance and don't drive us away."
"Yes, elder, what did the disciple do that dissatisfied the elder? If the elder says, the disciple will definitely change. Please don't drive us away."
Qingyangzi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "I don't want to drive you down the mountain, but you have been practicing on Donglai Peak for ten years. Although you have practiced continuously in these ten years, you have made little progress. Have you never thought about the reason? ?”
The three of them stopped begging for mercy, vaguely having some suspicions, but still not sure.
"As a cultivator improves his or her cultivation, it is inevitable to stand in the clouds, but it is impossible to be truly isolated from the world. Experience in the mortal world is the opportunity for breakthrough. It is useless for you to stay here. Why not go down the mountain and have a try? Practice is beneficial.”
Qingyangzi's words confirmed the three people's suspicions. They did not expect such a good thing to happen, but they were still frightened. Ma Biao said nonchalantly: "The three disciples are servants of Donglai Peak..."
"There aren't any chores for you to do on Donglai Peak."
The three of them didn't dare to raise their heads. Compared to the servants on other peaks, they were too relaxed. On Donglai Peak, under the name of servants, they actually had nothing to do, and they had received great kindness from Qingyangzi. They were given the practice skills that no one else had, but the thought of them doing nothing made them feel ashamed after all.
Liu Tangtang bit his lip, raised his head boldly, and said: "The elder has been so kind, and the disciple has no way of repaying it. It's just that after the disciple comes down the mountain, if the experience is over, we..."
Seeing that she looked a little embarrassed, Qingyangzi smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry about it. If you want to come back after the experience, just come to Donglai Peak. I will tell the leader about this."
The three of them were overjoyed and kowtowed to apologize. After packing their things, they also went down the mountain. The direction they were going was also Yuzhou.
On an isolated peak deep in the Qingyangmen Mountains, there was a lively scene that was not too lively. After Luo Cheng left, Gu Chen and Liu Zhen each entered the world to practice cultivation, and then Chen Yong, Ma Biao, and Liu Tangtang left the mountain. Now, only Qingyangzi is left.
