It seems that something is wrong?
According to what Yun Xiu said that day in Baiying Cave, the man she was waiting for was now a general. How could he be a lonely soul wandering by the Wangchuan River?
Even if they are not the ones waiting for each other, then keep looking until they meet the one in their hearts.
This matter has come to an end for the time being, but the other matter is not that simple. Just thinking about the crime of treason is enough to make you die ten times, so Qingya didn't even mention this matter, and could only find other information channels.
In the evening, the setting sun casts a layer of vicissitudes on the solemn palace. The setting sun hangs outside the Hanyuan Hall. The gold-brick and red-tiled hall casts a silhouette. Standing here and looking southward, the entire Chang'an City can be seen.
The current emperor has only been on the throne for forty-one years. For a practicing dynasty, his era has just begun.
One hundred and thirty years old, for an emperor, is still very young.
But just like this, the king who was supposed to be carrying out his great ambitions was now like the sunset behind him, with a look of twilight all over him.
According to legend, there are Ming Ling people in the south of Chu who regard 500 years as spring and 500 years as autumn. In ancient times, there were Dachun people who regard 8,000 years as spring and 8,000 years as autumn.
One spring and autumn is one calamity.
Now, the Fuxia Dynasty, which has gone through more than three hundred years, has also entered this fateful disaster. In the year of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the first emperor invited the best magician in the world to calculate the fate of the country in Fuxia.
Unexpectedly, the warlock and his junior brother entered a state of selflessness as soon as they started to calculate, and they even continued to calculate the rise and fall of the world for more than two thousand years after Fuxia.
In the end, it was his junior brother who woke up first and gave him a push from behind before stopping the calculation. Infinite secrets cannot be observed. If more people know about it, the rules of the world will change.
At this point, the two of them kept the conclusion of the day's deduction in their hearts, leaving only a few words to deal with the emperor's request.
"Beyond the sea in the east and the mountains in the west, thousands of princes bowed their heads. Last night, the buildings were filled with lanterns and wind, and the fairy mountain was full of night bandits with a sword."
The young king recited the prophecy from a hundred years ago and looked at the retreating figures of the three people under the palace wall. Could they be the swords that should be catastrophic in the prophecy?
"Why did you two leave in such a hurry? You finally made it to the palace. Why don't you play in the palace for a while? How can you two regard such a prosperous place as just a cloud of smoke?"
Qiu Chiyu walked in front, and the two of them followed her, one on the left and the other on the right. To use a popular metaphor at the moment, it was a young mother with two babies.
"Master taught us that monks like us should take the pursuit of the supreme road as our own responsibility. We should not overindulge in all kinds of things in the world, and we should not lose our ambition by playing with things."
Qingya from behind replied seriously,
"Is it just her? Don't lose your mind by playing with things. She was..."
As if remembering something, Qiu Chiyu immediately covered her mouth. She couldn't say that she couldn't say anything. If this brat went back and told her that I exposed her shortcomings in front of my apprentice, then I wouldn't be able to live a peaceful life.
She gently pulled Hua Qing'er to her side and asked quietly in her ear: "Has he always been like this? Master said it one by one, how can he be like a child."
"No, after three years of practicing Taoism, I think he already regards Uncle Liu as his mother." Hua Qing'er nodded in agreement.
Mother?
After all, I am the same age as her, and I have never had a Taoist companion so far. Why is it that when she is cultivating on Yaoguang Peak, she is regarded as her mother?
But this can be used to secretly tease him in the future. In the future, in front of her apprentice, I will also call her mother and see how she responds, hehe.
After the three of them had dinner at a restaurant near the river, they secretly flew out of the city gate and headed straight for the Western Hills.
In the distance, the silhouette of the Western Mountains shows strange colors in the vast twilight. The mountains and forests are roaring, and the birds and animals are singing. Everything indicates that humans are not allowed to enter. After all, after dark, this place is an inhuman paradise.
"Da da da"
A black bear as tall as two green cliffs was running between the jungles looking for food. Suddenly it smelled a burst of human anger. Its eyes immediately radiated green light, and it rushed towards the three of them with a devastating force, hitting them. One tree trunk after another was broken.
But when it approached the three people, it suddenly stopped suddenly, turned around and wanted to run back quickly. However, due to the inertia brought by its huge body, it could not stop sliding towards the three people.
Bang, Qiu Chiyu's white palm slapped on its black mane, causing all the hair on its body to stand up, and it could only squat in place motionless.
Because the woman in the middle was exuding a sense of fear engraved in its blood. It didn't know what kind of creature's aura it was, but its genes told it to run as quickly as possible.
"Children, please don't run around at night. It's better to go home quickly."
Qiu Chiyu turned his face to indicate that it could leave. The amnesty-like black bear disappeared without a trace in an instant. He didn’t know how its huge body could run so fast. It seems that this bear has a talent for spiritual practice. .
Saying goodbye to this episode, the three of them continued to walk deeper into the Western Mountains. Qingya followed the last memory to find the place where he fell, but found that the hole that Dangru had collapsed by himself had been repaired.
The gate of Baiying Cave is just an ordinary small cave. The further you go in, the larger the space becomes. The stars illuminate the place, making it as mysterious and gorgeous as the night sky.
After all, she is a woman, even if she lives in the mountains and wilds, she has decorated this place so beautifully.
Arriving at the door sign inscribed with Baiying Cave, Qingya gently tapped the boulder blocking the front three times.
"Miss Yunxiu, I have returned from the palace."
The boulders rumbled down, revealing the path leading deeper into the depths.
Qingya took off his shoes and socks and walked in. Although Qiu Chiyu and the others didn't understand what he meant, they just regarded it as a courtesy for visiting. They also took off their shoes and socks and walked in barefoot.
"It's so soft, it's like walking on the clouds,"
Hua Qing'er was jumping up and down on the carpet on tiptoes, and the hairpins in her hair were dancing happily. Qiu Chiyu was wondering if she could tidy up some of her hair and lay it in her bedroom.
Deep in the mountain, Yunxiu sat at a low table, crossing her legs, quietly waiting for someone to come. For forty years, she has been waiting like this, and finally today, she has the result.
"I thought I had to wait another forty years."
Seeing Qingya walking in, she whispered quietly.
"Please don't make fun of me, Miss Yunxiu. Please allow me to introduce you to Miss Yunxiu. This is Wan..."
"Wanlong Ridge Yanlong Mu Qiu Chiyu, no one in Chang'an City knows the reputation of Yanlong Mu. Although I am a country person, I still have this knowledge. This junior has met Senior Qiu."
Yun Xiu was the first to recognize Qiu Chiyu's identity, stood up, bowed slightly, and poured hot tea for the three of them.
"There's no need to be polite. I'm just here with them. Let this guy talk to you about your matters." Qiu Chiyu started to drink tea as a bystander again.
"I wonder if Miss Yunxiu can recognize this sword?"
Qingya took out the broken sword that Qin Xiangge handed him from the star field and handed it to Yun Xiu.
Yun Xiu's eyes widened at the sight. She picked up the broken sword and put it in front of her eyes to look at it carefully. She gently touched the word "Qin" engraved on the sword's grid with her fingers. Tears fell silently from her eyes. The ground slipped.
She held the broken sword firmly in her hand and pressed it tightly against her chest, as if the broken sword would leave her again in the next second.
Then, she lowered her head, bent down, and held him deeply in her arms, just as she held her beloved for the last time forty years ago.
There was silence everywhere, only a slight sound of sobbing could be heard. Qingya didn't know what to say. Perhaps, letting her cry quietly at this time would be the best way to comfort her.
Seeing Yunxiu's miserable look, Hua Qing'er's eyes turned red and she looked at the green cliff on one side, wondering what she was thinking.
Qiu Chiyu also put down her tea cup and looked at the three people in front of her with a calm expression. Descendants of Shenlong were born to be heartless and cut off love. She could not understand or imagine that deep-rooted feeling.
I don’t know how much time passed, but Yunxiu raised her head again, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and asked Qingya with a cry,
"Where is he?"
"He He……"
This time, Qingya hesitated and was speechless.
How should she speak, should she just tell her that the person she was waiting for has long since passed away, and she will never be able to wait for him again in this life?
Forty years of waiting came to nothing, what a blow to her. But if I don't tell her, should I continue to let her wait with that slim hope?
"Tell me, where is he? Where is this heartless man? Tell me!"
Yunxiu raised her voice a little excitedly, and even her body was shaking unconsciously.
"No, no, he is not a heartless person, he has been looking for you, he..."
In panic, Qingya didn't know how to deal with it.
"Then why didn't he come to me? Is he already married and having children? I understand that men and monsters have different paths. I never expect to accompany him for the rest of his life. But if this is the case, why doesn't he even want to tell me. "
Yunxiu's miserable words seemed more like she was talking to herself. She laughed that her forty years of waiting had finally come to nothing.
"No, he has always been thinking about you, he..."
Qingya was still racking his brains to think of a solution.
"he died."
Qiu Chiyu, who had been sitting silently, suddenly revealed the truth.
The air suddenly fell into solidification, and until a quarter of an hour later, Yunxiu still stood there blankly. Qingya looked at her figure, as if he saw just a body without a soul.
After an unknown amount of time, Yun Xiu replied mechanically: "If you told me last year that he was dead, I could accept it. After all, it has been forty years, and mortals cannot escape the wear and tear of time.
But at the beginning of this year, I saw the army triumphant and heard his name named General Dingyuan. Now you are telling me that he is dead? "
