It was bright and clear, and Jiang Yuebai went outside to get some air.
He muttered, "Liar, you said goodbye and still called me Xiaobai, but in the end you didn't even say a word to me."
Jiang Yuebai stood under the tree, plucked a piece of bark, and muttered something. Anyway, she felt unhappy.
At this time, the old shopkeeper of Shanhailou walked from the outer hall to the backyard. When he saw Jiang Yuebai, he almost stripped the bark off the tree and couldn't laugh or cry.
"True Lord, don't hold it down anymore. If you hold it down again, the tree will not survive."
Only then did Jiang Yuebai come back to his senses and found that a piece of the tree was bald. He casually hit it with a transformation magic spell, absorbing the vitality of other surrounding vegetation and stimulating the growth of new bark on the old tree.
The old shopkeeper of Shanhai Tower walked up to Jiang Yuebai with the scroll in his arms, "Zhenjun asked me to find out what I wanted to inquire about this afternoon."
Jiang Yuebai's eyes widened, "It's only been less than half a day, and you found out so soon?"
Regarding the last person who appeared in the Taixuan Monument dream, Jiang Yuebai initially suspected that Shen Mingjing was responsible, because he was the one who put the Taixuan Monument and the Dream Demon into it.
But later, after thinking about it carefully, she still felt that it was an accident that she was sucked into the Taixuan Monument. Shen Mingjing could not have expected this, and then deliberately set such a trap on her with no apparent purpose.
So when he finally got married to her, he had to tear off her hijab to make her remember the bastard. There must be someone else.
The old shopkeeper opened the old and yellowed scroll little by little, and a man in green clothes, standing sideways with a sword appeared in front of Jiang Yuebai, standing on the top of the mountain, with the bright moon and clear breeze, and his unparalleled magnanimity.
Although there was only a side profile, Jiang Yuebai's eyes twitched and he was sure it was this person.
"Who is this?"
"Guiyuan Sword Sect, Zhufeng Sword Lord!"
"Who are you talking about?!"
Because of surprise, Jiang Yuebai's voice was out of tune. She grabbed the scroll and looked at it carefully, looking inside and out. She wished she could pull the person out and look at it with a grimace.
The old shopkeeper said, "Zhufeng Sword Lord and the Patriarch of the Guizong were heroes of the same era. There are not many portraits circulating in the world. There is only such a volume in the warehouse of Hongyan Tower. If it weren't for an old man who guarded the warehouse of Hongyan Tower, he was once a returnee." A disciple of the Yuanjian Sect who recognized the portrait given by Zhenjun at a glance would not be able to find it so quickly."
"You mean, Guiyuan Sword Sect can still find other portraits of Zhufeng Sword Lord?"
The old shopkeeper nodded, "Guiyuan Sword Sect and Jingangtai are the two oldest sects in the earth spirit world. Jingangtai will cast Buddha statues for the monks who have ascended from this world in the past. Guiyuan Sword Sect also has a place where all the ascended sword masters of the past generations will be preserved. portrait."
Jiang Yuebai clenched the scroll. It was outrageous enough that she met Lu Xingyun when she was a child. Why did she meet Zhufeng now?
Didn’t these two ascend to the immortal world?
Why do they appear in the earthly spirit world and the upper world?
Are you too bored to entertain her?
Jiang Yuebai was confused. He closed the scroll and wanted to immediately go to Guiyuan Sword Sect to find out what was going on. He also wanted to know what the bad relationship between Lu Xingyun and Zhufeng was about.
There was movement in the room behind. Jiang Yuebai turned around and saw Lu Ying standing at the door. She opened her mouth and wanted to call her, but no sound came out.
The old shopkeeper nodded to Jiang Yuebai and left first.
Jiang Yuebai put the scroll into the storage ring, temporarily suppressed his chaotic thoughts, and asked Lu Ying, "Have you considered it?"
Lu Ying nodded, "I want to send Xia'er to the Foreign Country to find her father. If possible, could you please give Tao Nian a chance to join the Tianyan Sect. Maybe people from Shanhai Tower have already investigated it for you. Tao Nian He is a descendant of Tao Fengnian, so it is fate that he met me."
"I know, even if you don't mention it, I will help Tao Nian arrange a good place to go. Over there in the Foreign Country, I have some friendship with the Lord of Fufeng Mountain, and I will ask someone to send Lu Xia'er to him, and so will he A very powerful medical practitioner can teach Lu Xia'er to control toxins in the body. What about you? Go to the Foreign Country with Lu Xia'er, or return to Tianyan Sect?"
Lu Ying took a breath and finally looked up at Jiang Yuebai, "I'm sorry, I still overestimated myself. I thought that after so many years, I would be able to meet you again without grudges and still regard you as my childhood playmate. But I found that I’m still exactly the same as I was then.”
"There is nothing to apologize for." Jiang Yuebai whispered.
Lu Ying pinched the corner of her clothes, "Although I am already over 70 years old, my damn self-esteem has not weakened at all. I really can't change it. I am too ordinary, so ordinary that there is no outstanding point in my body that can bring any benefits." I have no confidence."
Jiang Yuebai was startled. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed like this. Among the people she knew, if only based on qualifications and background, Shi Xiaowu was also very ordinary, but he was proficient in the Way of Numbers, and the Way of Numbers could give him confidence. and a sense of accomplishment.
Jiang Ziying was also ordinary, but she later discovered that she was proficient in planting. After learning the method of grafting spiritual plants, she promoted it in the Huaxi Valley. This was also the source of Jiang Ziying's confidence.
Yun Shang is proficient in beast control, Xie Jingshan is rich, Lu Nazhi is excellent in swordsmanship, Ge Yuchan, He Wangchen and others, each of them has something they are good at and something they can be proud of.
Only Lu Ying is a truly ordinary person among all living beings.
Lu Ying continued, "You and I are not on the same journey. Our meeting was just an accident and a cruel joke of God. I can only be the nameless applause behind legends like you."
"Now I don't want to understand what I don't want to think about. I can only accept my fate if I am unwilling to do so. After living for so many years, living a simple and ordinary life is enough. What is left is only fatigue."
Jiang Yuebai's heart trembled, "What do you want to do?"
Lu Ying smiled bitterly, "I will comply with the arrangement of heaven. I won't fight. I will just go back to my hometown and be a rich man for the rest of my life. If there is an afterlife, maybe I can become a not-so-ordinary person."
This idea has been lingering in Lu Ying's heart for many years. From the repeated failures in forming pills, she slowly and deeply realized that there are some hurdles that she will never be able to overcome in her life. This is her fate!
It's not that she hasn't worked hard, but in the face of talent, hard work is sometimes not worth mentioning and is in vain! Things that could change one's fate against fate would not happen to an ordinary person like her, and she did not want to cling to someone else's lap and live like a burden.
So she accepted her fate, so she clearly had the longevity pill but never took it.
If she hadn't accidentally adopted Lu Xia'er, she might have closed her shop and returned to her hometown.
Now that Jiang Yuebai showed up and arranged their places for Lu Xia'er and Tao Nian, she was free from worries.
Jiang Yuebai clenched her fists. Lu Ying was different from Shi Xiaowu. Shi Xiaowu still had expectations in his heart, so she could help Shi Xiaowu cross the foundation building level.
But Lu Ying really looked away and gave up. Even if she had extraordinary abilities, she would not be able to save her life.
The golden crow rises in the east, and the rays of light shine into the small courtyard, lengthening the shadows of the two people.
"Well, I have other important matters and need to go to Guiyuan Sword Sect. I will write a letter to the sect and Lord Fufeng Mountain and ask Shanhai Tower to send someone to escort you there."
After saying that, Jiang Yuebai turned around and left.
"noob!"
Lu Ying suddenly stopped her, Jiang Yuebai stopped and turned his back to Lu Ying.
She still remembered that Lu Ying had said that she would call her Xiaobai when they saw each other again. If she didn't respond, the embarrassing story of her childhood would be publicized everywhere.
"Um……"
Jiang Yuebai responded lightly but did not look back.
Lu Ying had tears in her eyes, "I have never regretted knowing you. The most worthy thing to show off in my life is knowing you. Just don't look back, keep going, keep moving forward."
Jiang Yuebai clenched and loosened his fists, his nose felt sore.
"good!"
After saying that, she strode out of the small courtyard.
Everyone has his or her own destiny, and giving up sometimes requires more courage than perseverance. Lu Ying at least dared to face death, but Jiang Yuebai couldn't.
She respects Lu Ying's choice and wishes Lu Ying that she can get what she wants in the next life, start over, and become a brilliant genius.
And she, Jiang Yuebai, doesn’t want the next life, she only wants this life!
Fourth update, no more, see you tomorrow~
