But Xu Huaigu went down to Changyue Peak and took advantage of the night to wander around the Fuyao Sect.
He was not familiar with the Fuyao Sect's roads at all. He just walked in whichever direction his eyes saw which mountain peaks were higher and whose woods were thicker. Unexpectedly, he was confused by all the twists and turns. He spent a long time unable to find his way back, and he couldn't even see the Wujian Pavilion that was everywhere like a lighthouse.
Xu Huaigu felt a little ashamed. He was already in the Sixth Realm and still lost his way. Yin Zushi and Yu Qin couldn't know about this, otherwise they would laugh out loud?
Being lost also has its advantages. Xu Huaigu simply took advantage of the moonlight to enjoy the scenery. After walking for a long time, he remembered that the sky should be getting bright soon, so he might as well find a high place to enjoy the sunrise.
It had been a long, long time since he had spent his long nights practicing, and it was rare that he had such an opportunity to watch the sunrise today. When Xu Huaigu thought of this, he began to worry about his inner demons.
According to Bai Xiaoyu, inheriting the deceased's will should be beneficial to suppressing inner demons. But that was after Zhuang Yeyun's death. Later, Zuo Qiuxun also died, and the knot in Xu Huaigu's heart became even more confusing and could not be untied. Perhaps only when she goes to Feiyu Island, buries her pipa and white sword, and breathes a sigh of relief can her inner demons be relieved.
With this thought in his mind, he walked towards a huge peak next to him.
He wandered around the Fuyao Sect for a long time, and this peak had no white marble steps like the one at the mountain gate. Xu Huaigu went up the mountain road, and it took him more than two hours to finally reach the top.
He looked around and saw clouds and mist surrounding him, as if he was among the clouds. The morning glow in the distance is like a bright red flame, brewing deep in the earth and about to burst out.
The morning wind brought up the clouds and passed across my face. His face was ice-cold, and there was water mist condensing on his face, making it wet. It cleared away the fatigue from traveling all night and made him sober.
What a beautiful sight.
Xu Huaigu couldn't help but put all the inner demons, sword intentions and other bad things in his mind behind him. He breathed in the fresh air on the top of the mountain, and at the same time, spiritual energy gathered from all directions. His cultivation that had been immobile for a long time unexpectedly From the middle stage of the six realms to the late stage of the six realms.
Xu Huaigu was surprised. He didn't expect that he couldn't break through his cultivation even after all his efforts. He could only break through it when he forgot about his cultivation. But Xu Huaigu knew that this kind of opportunity was extremely rare. Because I had just met the person I had longed for yesterday, I was in a good mood, and I felt the natural beauty of the world, so I had this small breakthrough.
This is a natural breakthrough, but if you do it deliberately and enjoy the beautiful scenery just for the sake of breakthrough, it may not have any effect.
But since there is a breakthrough, this is always a good thing.
Xu Huaigu planned to visit Deng Zhiyuan today, tell her what he was thinking, and then stay with Yu Qin for a while before setting off for Feiyu Island.
But just as he was about to leave, he heard a few plaintive cries coming from not far away.
The voice was high-pitched, and it was a woman crying sadly. The crying was intermittent and extremely sad. If it hadn't been for the Xianjia sect, Xu Huaigu would have thought it was a wild ghost in a lonely grave in the mountains.
He walked over there curiously, only to see a woman wearing a tan cloth hairpin skirt lying on her side on the ground at the edge of the bottomless cliff, crying hysterically.
Looking at her, Xu Huaigu looked strange. This woman is clearly the one who was kneeling under the plaque yesterday. No wonder Chu Xiuyang said last night that the woman was desperate and wanted to commit suicide on the edge of the cliff. It seemed that it was not groundless.
This woman wanted to die. She had been staying on the edge of the cliff all night, but there was no one around to watch the excitement. It was as if she was a ball of air in the Fuyao Sect. No one cared about her, no one cared about her, and it didn't matter whether she lived or died. The so-called loneliness, can it be worse?
The woman cried heartbreakingly, which is called mourning. Xu Huaigu felt sour in his heart when he heard this. He originally didn't want to get involved in such an unclear thing, but now he softened his heart and took a few steps forward, sitting cross-legged next to the woman.
When the woman heard someone coming, she hurriedly sat up. She didn't care to look at Xu Huaigu and quickly wiped away her tears.
,Bundle
The hair that covered her face was randomly tucked behind her shoulders, and then she opened a pair of red and swollen eyes and looked at him in fear.
Xu Huaigu was a little embarrassed because of what he did when he sat next to the woman yesterday. He didn't know how to speak. However, the woman stared at Xu Huaigu for a long time, then shouted loudly: "It's you! When I knelt down there, it was You eat meat buns next to me!"
Xu Huaigu did not deny it: "Yes, it's me."
The woman opened her eyes in anger and looked at him fiercely.
Her hair was disheveled, her eyes were bright red, her lips were chapped because she didn't drink water, and the spot on her forehead that had been bleeding was scabbed, but blood was still oozing out. She just stared at Xu Huaigu with a ferocious look on her face.
She cursed viciously: "Yesterday you humiliated me, and today you come to see my jokes! What grudge do I have against you that you hate me so much?"
Xu Huaigu pursed his lips, looked up at her and said, "Yesterday I just wanted to make a joke with you, no harm. As for today, I said that I was walking in the Fuyao Sect in the middle of the night, and I happened to meet you here this morning. You Do you believe it?"
The woman shouted angrily: "I believe you! Men are dead liars! I hate all of you!"
She seemed to be mentally disturbed because of her excitement. After saying this, she stood up suddenly, rushed towards Xu Huaigu, and kept beating Xu Huaigu's chest hard like a madman, venting her inner anger.
Xu Huaigu felt disgusted and pushed her away with his hands.
How can that woman be as strong as him? She was immediately pushed away, slid out a few steps, and lay slumped on the ground, panting, choking and crying.
After such a beating, the woman seemed to wake up from her crazy state, but she was still crying quietly. Obviously he couldn't help it, but he suppressed his crying, not wanting Xu Huaigu to hear it.
Xu Huaigu was somewhat worried about her, so he changed his mind and asked, "What's your name?"
When these words of concern came out, the woman seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and hurriedly replied: "Gu Sanyue."
Xu Huaigu nodded and asked, "How old are you this year?"
"twenty-three."
Xu Huaigu looked sadly and said: "Only twenty-three? At the age of twenty-three, you have been looking for a man for eight years...you gave him one-third of your life. Is it worth it?"
Gu Sanyue burst into tears, as if stuck in his throat. He neither said it was worth it, nor that it wasn't worth it.
Xu Huaigu sighed and asked, "What happened after you entered the Fuyao Sect yesterday? Why did you come here to seek death?"
Gu Sansan said foolishly, "I'm telling you, don't tell anyone else."
Xu Huaigu nodded and said, "Okay."
Her voice was trembling a little and she spoke intermittently: "Yesterday he took me into the sect and took me directly to the attic where he lived. I told him that I had been looking for him for eight years, and it was so hard to find him, okay? It’s easy, he just keeps crying.”
"I thought he would change his mind after crying, and I was so happy at the time. As long as he still loves me, I don't care who he is or whether he has money or not, I am willing to stay with him."
"But he told me," Gu Sanyue cried louder and louder, "I shouldn't have come to him. He was already a monk and there was no turning back. If I still love him, I shouldn't force him again. If I continue to force him, the sect will destroy his cultivation and drive him down the mountain."
"Then he begged me and gave me money. He gave me all his money. He said that the twenty-four big beads were two hundred and forty thousand taels of silver. He asked me to take them down the mountain and live a good life. . But I have no friends, I am all alone, and I am alone. No matter how much money I have, how can I survive in this world?"
"I returned the money to him. I said I didn't want his money. I didn't want to live and I had to find my own way to death."
Speaking of this, Gu Sanyue burst into tears again and said, "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...He didn't stop me, I just walked here by myself."
After hearing what she said, Xu Huaigu felt a headache. This matter was so complicated that it definitely could not be solved by punishing anyone. No wonder the Fuyao Sect kept delaying it.
There is no way to solve the problem.
Although it was Jiang Linyang who was at fault first, he felt equally guilty towards Gu Sanyue, otherwise he would not have given her all the money from the gods, he just wanted her to live well.
But is it useful to punish Jiang Linyang? Destroy his cultivation and then force him to be with Gu Sanyue, whom he no longer loves? Is that a good outcome? One is full of guilt and the other is full of unwillingness. Can these two people have the warmth of a couple when they are together?
But if you want to appease Gu Sanyue, and money doesn't work, you have to go to Jiang Linyang, which leads to a dead end.
But Xu Huaigu felt that Gu Sanyue had actually disliked Jiang Linyang for a long time. She just lacked the idea of living, so she regarded Jiang Linyang as the only fire in the dark night of her life. Otherwise, she would not be so obsessed with him that she went crazy.
So the key to solving the problem is not Jiang Linyang or Gu Sanyue, but what else in the world can keep her alive. She was only twenty-three years old, and there were many possibilities in her future life. Xu Huaigu didn't want her to lose hope in the world so early.
Xu Huaigu said softly: "You have been on the cliff for a long time, but you haven't jumped off yet. Do you feel that you can't survive alive and you can't make up your mind to die, so you feel that you are a loser?"
Gu Sanyue was stunned, these words pierced her heart.
Xu Huaigu shook his head and said, "Actually, that's not the case. God is kind in not killing us. When each of us comes to this world, God wants us to live well, not to seek death or survival."
"I used to be like you, very disappointed with the world. I felt that the world was like a layer of water under the duckweed. The duckweed is green and shiny. From the surface, it looks so beautiful, but underneath the duckweed Yes, it’s all muddy water.”
"The muddy water is mixed with mud and sand, disgusting reptiles are growing in it, and rotten branches and leaves are emitting a stench in it. It's so unbearable. And there will only be more and more reptiles and dead branches growing in the muddy water, which makes people There is no hope."
"But this is the way of the world, and we can't change it. But we can make ourselves become duckweeds above the muddy water. The sun will only fall on the duckweeds and not shine into the muddy water. Do you understand what I mean?"
Gu Sanyue was mesmerized by what he heard. He was stunned for a long time and murmured: "You want me to become a master?"
Xu Huaigu smiled and said, "You should be a master."
Gu Sanyue's eyes suddenly brightened, and there was a strange brilliance flowing inside, which was the desire for life.
She asked with a trembling voice, "You are a monk, right?"
Xu Huaigu nodded slightly.
"Compared with you and Jiang Linyang, who is more powerful?"
Xu Huaigu smiled and said, "I am much better than him. As for how much better I am, you are not a monk, so you have no idea."
Gu Sanyule looked at him with firm eyes, as if he was moved by his words and made up his mind. She said word by word: "I also want to be a mountain person, can you teach me?"
"Either you become my master, and I will listen to you in everything from now on, as long as you teach me how to be a mountain man!"
Xu Huaigu smiled bitterly and said, "Have you thought about it? Being a monk is very tiring, not to mention that if you don't have any skills, you will probably have to be a martial artist, which will be even more tiring."
Gu Sanyue's eyes were firm, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he shook his head vigorously and said, "I am not afraid of hardship, nor of fatigue. I have endured all the hardships in the past eight years. You don't have to worry about me."
Xu Huaigu looked at the woman's determined and spirited eyes, and felt moved for some unknown reason. He suddenly felt that it was really possible for her to make some achievements in the world of cultivation.
So Xu Huaigu nodded.
Gu Sanyue said loudly: "Master is here, please accept my disciple's bow!"
She was about to kneel down immediately, but Xu Huaigu used his hand to help her, and she couldn't kneel down anymore.
Gu Sanyue looked at him doubtfully, and Xu Huaigu shook his head gently and said, "There are big rules in the practice world for accepting disciples, so you can't be so hasty. I will lead you for a while first to see if you are suitable for practice, and then make a decision."
When Gu Sanyue heard that he wanted to test himself, he gritted his teeth and said, "I will never let you down!"
Xu Huaigu seemed to have seen a stubborn soul
Standing in front of her, she said happily: "Okay, I hope so."
