The wine is named April Bamboo. I wonder if it will be as famous as March Pear in a few years.
The wine in April Bamboo is refreshing, but not as cold as the people in the house. Every time I think of what happened in the black bamboo forest, Qingxu will feel itchy all over if he takes another look at the wine jar. He is afraid that he will become the same as that day, and he will circle around the wine jar uneasily, waiting for Qingxu to drink. Return…
Although Qingjing has studied a lot of ink over the years, it is still enough for Taiyi Pavilion disciples to spend. But since the day Qingjing entered the Black Bamboo Forest, Qingxu has been arranging for his disciples to patrol around and keep him company, which can be regarded as a lot of comfort for his timidity. It has become a habit for the disciples of Taiyi Pavilion to study ink on time. Every time a certain time comes, some people will come in groups.
At this time, the place in front of the Black Bamboo Forest was naturally very lively because of the disciples who were practicing ink...
"Senior brother... I didn't expect this black bamboo to be as magical as you said!"
"Don't dare. I was just like you when I first came here. I didn't believe it until I tried it myself." Although the speaker was a little older, he didn't look superior to others at all. He said humbly to the disciples beside him. .
During the break, two disciples sat in front of the stone. One disciple opened the package in his hand, and there was a piece of gray powder inside. It turned out that this disciple was afraid of the black bamboo forest and wanted to take the black bamboo back to his residence to study ink. Unexpectedly, the black bamboo was as the man in front of him told him. As long as he left the black bamboo forest, it would turn into ashes soon.
"And...Senior Brother, is the legend that black-haired monsters often appear in the black bamboo forest true?" The disciple asked in a low voice when he saw no one around him.
"I've heard of this kind of legend... but I've never seen it before. It must have been made up by some disciple just to be lazy..." The senior brother frowned and explained aloud: "Also, I haven't been here these years. Here, I didn’t come here to study ink until recently, and I’m not very clear about the specific details. Can you briefly explain it to me?”
"Oh..." The junior brother scratched his head and thought briefly for a moment before continuing: "I also heard this from the disciple who slept with me before I came here last time! It was said that not long ago, a disciple was delayed due to internal emergency. It took a lot of time to study ink. Just before he packed up his things and was about to leave, he heard a strange rustling sound behind him. He thought there were still disciples in the black bamboo forest who had not left, so he thought it was getting late and they would be together. And then..."
"But when he looked over there, he saw a black-haired monster staring at him and looking him up and down. He was so frightened that he dropped the jar and ran for his life... Later, I heard others explain that the man was suffering from a medical condition. Night blindness, coupled with the fact that it was too late and I was nervous, I made a mistake and shocked myself! So although the matter was rumored to be very mysterious, it was ignored. I probably know this much..."
After the disciple finished speaking, he didn't hear any response. He couldn't help but look at the person in front of him carefully.
The clothes this man was wearing did not fit his body shape at all, and his wrists and ankles were faintly exposed. Moreover, the dark colors on his black and white robes have been washed a little gray, but the overall appearance is very neat. Although this man was dressed strangely, he was not slovenly. Instead, he had an indescribable temperament.
Naturally, people in Taiyi Pavilion do not judge people by their appearance. Even if there are people in ragged clothes, they will not be looked down upon. Moreover, this person's slightly shrunken clothes make him look more upright.
"I didn't expect that there would be such weird things in this black bamboo forest... This junior brother? What else is there?" Seeing the man next to him staring at him, the senior brother smiled lightly.
"Nothing's wrong... It's just that I was too nervous when I was practicing ink last time and didn't have time to meet my senior brother... I just looked at my senior brother secretly and realized that you are very unfamiliar to me. I seem to have rarely seen you before..." This disciple was discovered. His own behavior also made him smile awkwardly.
"Haha, because someone doesn't want me to see him... so I can only practice in seclusion all the time, and the monster thing happened some time ago and I was running around, so naturally I rarely show up in Taiyi Pavilion." The senior brother explained patiently .
"Senior brother, you have such a good character, why would someone treat you like this? No! I'm going to find an elder to help you judge!" Seeing that this man knew everything and was very patient, the disciple stood up after complaining about this man.
"Don't bother, even if he wants to see me...I'm afraid he won't be able to see me face to face..." Senior Brother sighed secretly in his heart, and then said to the disciple beside him: "While you have time to rest, you'd better sit down as soon as possible. , I’ll be busy soon!”
"Okay." Seeing that his senior brother didn't care at all, the disciple sat down again.
…
In the black bamboo forest, a gust of black wind howled, and a figure landed quietly on the ground, then strode towards the forest.
I saw this man with a strong build and fine beard and hair. Only his two long eyebrows fluttered, almost pinching his ears. Who else could he be if he wasn't pure? However, the pure expression at this time was extremely heavy, and there was no trace of freedom and ease. I saw the wind blowing under his feet. After an unknown amount of time, he finally stopped in front of a simple bamboo house in the center of the bamboo forest.
"What's going on?" Qingjing took a steady breath, and although there was no one around, he suddenly made a sound, as if he was talking to himself.
"I asked you what's going on?" Seeing no one answered, Qingjing spoke up again. Although it is still early in the day, talking to oneself in this strange environment will inevitably make your teeth chatter if others are present.
"It's you who broke your promise, don't blame me for being dishonest!" Qingjing spoke for the third time, but her face became serious, and patches of black fluff appeared all over her body!
"Alas..." As Qingjing's body was covered with black down, a sigh often came from the bamboo house, "Without your body, we wouldn't even be able to take a step out of this bamboo house. Even if we don't want to keep our word, we are still powerless. ah…"
"My lies are misleading the public! If I had known this, I should have..." Qingjing snorted coldly and gritted his teeth.
"Haha... The one on the left is deceiving the public with his monstrous words! The one on the right has known it all! Then tell me, what are we guilty of?" The voice in the bamboo house also became disdainful.
"You..." Hearing this, Qingjing couldn't really tell what the source of the voice was. He could only grit his teeth and said, "Since you chose me... why did you attack my eldest brother?"
"Your eldest brother? Who is that? No one has come to see me for a long time..." There was a hint of doubt in the voice in the room, but there was a hint of loneliness in it.
"If that's the case...then why does this kind of thing appear on my elder brother's body?" Qingjing didn't sound like he was lying, and he calmed down a bit, and asked calmly.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Among the monsters in the world! Only I can give birth to such a thing!" The voice in the room suddenly became hysterical, as if he had been greatly insulted, but only for a moment, the shouting suddenly stopped Stopping, there was a murmuring voice: "Could it be that... it's him!"
"He? Who is he?" Although Qingjing has been here for twelve years, she has never heard this voice say anything about "him", so she hurriedly asked.
"He! It must have happened a long time ago...Although I can't remember the time...but it must have come earlier than you..." The voice in the bamboo house fell into deep contemplation.
"We have been rooted here since we had memories. I don't know how long it took us to finally have spiritual consciousness... But with spiritual consciousness, there is no other living being to communicate with, and the spiritual consciousness has become lonely in vain. I am rooted in this place. Now, it will be difficult to live without leaving here. I can only stay here and watch the stars move, the sun and the moon change, and watch the river valley in front of me turn into mountains..."
The voice became more lonely as he spoke, and there was countless desolation mixed in the voice.
"I don't know how long ago, this place finally became popular. However, I don't know how to communicate with others. I wanted to attract their attention, but I didn't expect to scare them. I can only hide quietly and provide them with what they need. everything…"
Hearing this, Qingjing couldn't help but smile bitterly. Although he had been here for several years, this was the first time he heard this voice talk about the past. He didn't expect that the strange legend about Taiyige Black Bamboo Forest would be misunderstood by this guy. There was even a hint of sympathy.
"We have long given up on communication, so naturally we no longer desire anything...until we met him..."
"He came here as if he was looking for something... At first, because we were afraid of frightening him, we didn't dare to show up easily, so we could only hide in the dark, hoping to help him... But in the end he found out Save my generation..."
"Although he was very surprised when he saw me, he was not frightened like others... Instead, he took the initiative to build this bamboo house for me, finally giving me a place to stay..." He said here, This voice was actually excited, and its immense joy could be felt from its tone.
"He told us... that he was here for us, hoping to help us get out of this predicament. Naturally, we were overjoyed. No matter what he said, I did it, even at the cost of dividing a part of my essence that I had cultivated for many years. Leave it to him..."
Speaking of this, Qingjing couldn't help but feel a tremor in her heart. She didn't expect that this guy was so big-hearted, and even did the thing of separating the essence without discerning where "he" came from! Although Qingjing has never heard it mention anything about its past, he has also summarized some stories about its identity from previous conversations.
Its body is this black bamboo forest, and the thing that speaks is the black bamboo essence of this black bamboo forest! All things have spirits, and this Black Bamboo Essence is a spiritual thing formed by this black bamboo forest absorbing the spiritual energy of the sun, moon, and the essence of heaven and earth. However, the spiritual consciousness that this Black Bamboo Essence has taken thousands of years to condense cannot be achieved because of "he "The simple sentence was divided into a part. I really don't know whether to praise it for its selflessness or its naivety.
This Black Bamboo Essence proves with facts that mind and spiritual consciousness are completely different things. Even if it is an old elf with tens of millions of years of age, its mind is no less than that of a child who has just landed!
"I have been here with you for twelve years and I have never heard you say anything like this! You just met him once and you gave him your essence?" Qingjing only felt a little tight in her chest. A trace of jealousy arose at the "him" Heizhu Jingpo said.
"Don't blame me...I really don't dare to be deceived anymore..."
