"Tai Sui!"
"Shi Yong, why do you..."
Doctor Wen: "Let... let..."
"Woo—" The shrill neigh of the horse interrupted the chaotic human voice.
A Lu Wu came from "Tao Wen Tian Xia", staggered when he got off his horse, and brought the latest news from Beili: "The extreme cold wind is blowing to Yanning!"
Lin Chi paled: "How could it be so fast!"
Before Xi Ping came out of the tree, they had just received news that Kunlun Mountain had changed.
Kunlun is more than 300 miles away from Yanning, the capital of the Northern Li Kingdom, and the extreme cold wind from the Northern Plains arrives in no time. If there is no Jianzong guarding the northern border, will the wind from the extreme north freeze the five kingdoms
Wen Fei almost rushed to the doctor to take a look at Huawailu. Wu Lingxiao, who could only move half of her body, pushed away Lu Wu who was supporting her.
"Okay, chopping firewood, right? This damn place makes me feel like a cripple. It's just right, my master has guarded Beijue Mountain all his life, so I'll take care of this crap for him." Wan Shuang, who couldn't pick it up, glanced, "It's a pity that I don't have a chance to fight with Zhao Ting."
"It's nothing to be sorry about. I won't fight if I can't help but I can't make it." Zhixiu verbally admitted defeat without any obstacles, and picked up the bloody apprentice with one hand, "All the spiritual energy and spiritual stones in Kunlun Mountain have been swept away. , It doesn’t make sense to push the Forbidden Spirit Line further north, there is no shortage of firewood for the stove—everyone, listen to me.”
General Zhi's tone was calm and steady, as if he would never lose his temper in his life. Xi Ping's blank eyes fell on him, wondering if it was his own illusion that "Master already knew the truth of Dao Xin".
Then I heard Zhi Xiu say: "The Forbidden Spirit Line has already forced Yingu out of the Southern Continent. It really has no aura to use. It knows that Kunlun is the barrier to the north, or it has sucked up Lingshan. This may not be a bad thing—Shiyong?"
Xi Ping said dumbly, "The cold wind in the northern plains can freeze a monk's true essence, and the hidden bones have only reached the late stage of ascension, pushing Kunlun away, and it is difficult to survive the pile of reincarnated wood. This is a dog jumping over the wall and dying. Struggling. And once the extremely cold wind from the north comes over, those evil spirits who are like crap sticks will not dare to go outside the forbidden spirit line to hold back. But master... "
It's not hidden bones that make people cornered.
Zhi Xiu interrupted him again with a wave of his hand: "Now within the Forbidden Spirit Line, can the reincarnated wood be used as a teleportation circle?"
"As long as the person at the other end drips blood on the reincarnation tree, let me pull his consciousness into breaking the law."
Zhixiu turned to Wu Lingxiao: "There is a Feihong machine in Tao County, please send a letter to Beili to connect Yeguiren with the remaining monks in Beiguo. If I remember correctly, there are large formations with dense populations in the north Magic circles and fairy weapons to protect against wind and cold?"
"Yes, yes," Wu Lingxiao nodded, "But aren't they all forbidden spirits? What can those wastes do?"
"We still have Spirit Guiding Gold." Zhi Xiu said, "Senior Brother Lin, go with Senior Wu to see if you can use Spirit Guiding Gold to activate some magic circles, so as to give them a buffer."
"Put this matter on the newspaper as soon as possible, so that the people of all countries are ready. If things change, "Tao Wen Tianxia" will publish the news at any time." Zhi Xiu turned to Wen Fei, "Feng Han, deal with it for me, when the time comes All forces come to their senses and will ask Reincarnation Wood for convenience. Ask Tianji Pavilion and Qianxiu Temple to help you, draw up a charter, and come out as soon as possible. This is just an opportunity for us to straighten out the chaos, otherwise the countries will be scattered now. , Even if the danger of landslides is resolved, it will be difficult to achieve peace.”
"Although the wind speed is fast, it will take time for the temperature to drop. The northern continent is freezing all year round, and people have emergency measures so that people will not freeze to death immediately. It should be ok for a few days. Contact Kaiming Division for me and prepare everyone All preparations to retreat southwards—dispatch and support, and Bering can settle down.”
"General Zhi," a Lu Wu couldn't help but said, "Even if all the emergency magic circles in the Northern Continent can be restarted, without Kunlun Mountain, they can't stop the cold wind in the Northern Plains—unless Jianzong is alive, even the Southern Continent will be frozen together." Sooner or later, this..."
Zhi Xiu said gently but without doubt: "No."
Lu Wu who asked the question was stunned.
"When Jianzong set up the night frost to block the northern wind, the moon was not yet full," Zhi Xiu said, "the cicadas in the world haven't died yet, go get busy."
The Heaven-Bending Sword from a thousand years ago has been cracked, but the one after a thousand years is still in the hands of a new sword god.
Kunlun ancestor Jianzong holds Wanshuang's figure, only a few words in the history books, no one has seen it... But Lu Wu suddenly felt that if Wanshuang was alive back then, he should be willing to have a drink with Zhaoting.
He got on his horse, turned around and left.
With a few words, Zhi Xiu made everyone turn around, and finally, only Xi Ping was left by his side.
Xi Ping was originally a monkey, he can be found everywhere, not to mention the reincarnation wood that can connect to the law-breaking space is the only "spiritual thing" within the forbidden spirit line. Normally, he jumped up and down in the morning, but now he just said nothing. I was tranced by the side, moving the branches and turning them around.
It wasn't until the people around were gone that Xi Ping's eyes moved, and the reincarnated trees around him stood up again, forming a place where no one would disturb them: "Master, I..."
"Don't worry," Zhi Xiu said, "You are impatient now, go get your piano out."
Xi Ping was silent for a moment, then on a second thought, he took out the Tai Sui Qin sealed in the reincarnation tree.
The qin was born from Xi Ping's bones, and at the beginning it had no trace or form, and the sound of the strings sometimes didn't work, making people puzzled, as ignorant and uncertain as the master.
As soon as Qin Shen was born, he encountered the great catastrophe of Wuduhai, collided with the Great Demon of the East China Sea, was banned by the saint, and was mute for five years, until the sorrows of the world were recorded.
However, Pofa retrieved Xi Ping's real body from the abyss, but trapped it in the land of forbidden spirits again. For eight years, it has been hiding alone in a crooked-neck tree in a small courtyard in the countryside, with only a copy of "Book of Removing the False and Preserving the Authentic" by its owner's side. Break one, redo one, and repeat.
It is just like its owner, constantly struggling and being imprisoned, but even if it is in a place where the sun is not visible, the sound of the piano has turned up countless wind and rain.
Zhi Xiu stretched out his hand to tick off a few notes on the Taisui Qin, but if he couldn't find a tune, he returned the Qin to Xi Ping: "I learned a little bit when I was young, and it seems that I have returned it to my husband. Come here and play something for Master."
Xi Ping didn't move.
He has been playing the qin since he became able to use chopsticks neatly, and he can repeat all the tunes he has heard, but at this moment when he catches the qin, the only thing floating in his mind is the desolate revival tune.
"What do you want to hear?"
Zhi Xiu thought for a while, and leaned on the furnace in a relaxed manner: "You are the one named Lingyang River—the one that won the crown of oiran."
"I said it was a rumor," Xi Ping forced a smile, "It's to cheer up my friends. With your apprentice and my celestial appearance, you still need to work hard to sing and dance to win the oiran? Who would deny it at that stop? Who would be blind if I overwhelm all the beauty?"
Zhixiu: "..."
Xi Ping rolled up his sleeves, pressed his fingers on the strings, and did not move for a long time. After a while, he sighed: "Master, I can't remember to tune it. Can you make do with the one going to the funeral? Anyway, both red and white are red and white." happy event."
"Fuck you." Zhi Xiu cursed with a smile, looked across the Xia River, and looked at Dawan and Yuzhou on the other side. The Tengyunjiao Bridge, which was out of service, was deserted. Following the railway track, one could see the tall bell tower at a glance.
He suddenly said without going to the village or back to the store: "When I was young, I didn't have so many exotic cars and boats. It took a day of riding a horse to go to the southern suburbs. The farthest place I have been to is Yuzhou. Send my sister to marry .”
"Ok?"
"Brother-in-law is the son of a family friend. The two of them have been engaged since childhood. They wanted to know the truth. Unexpectedly, the uncle was transferred to Yuzhou and the family moved here... The adults said that it would be difficult to see each other in the future. After more than 30 years, Sure enough, there are only thin audiobooks."
Xi Ping rubbed his natal piano and listened quietly, but didn't answer.
Ordinary people travel slowly, have long thoughts, and short life spans, and are as sudden as dew, so what is the difference between life and death
"I was still young at the time, and I didn't understand these things. I just felt that the scenery of Yuzhou was very different from that of Jinping, and everything was new. My sister was a crazy woman since she was a child. She let me go down the river with local children to touch water chestnuts and catch shrimps. Toad, it was a bad idea to let me be raised in the elder brother's teapot. Later, on a good day, when she married, I was her flower girl, and my first tooth was stuck by Yuzhou maltose," Zhixiu turned to Xi Ping, " Have you ever eaten Yuzhou Yee?"
Seeing Xi Ping shaking his head, he touched his body on a whim, and actually found a few copper coins from his body: "New year's money, take it to the other side and buy a pack back."
"Thank you, Master," Xi Ping sighed, "You are really generous."
In an instant, he traveled back and forth on both sides of the Xiajiang River through the reincarnation tree, put the copper in front of a small vendor's window, and returned with a bag of sugar with a branch.
The taste of Yuzhou is close to that of Chu people. Putting caramel in his mouth, both master and apprentice looked bleak at the same time.
Zhi Xiu: "It's still the same flavor, hiss... It's on par with rattan pepper and melon seeds."
Xi Ping: "It's really wrong for you to lose that tooth."
The two spoke almost at the same time, and were interrupted by the other party's voice at the same time.
Xi Ping was silent for a moment, finally recovered from the numbness just now, propped his head up and smiled wryly.
"I stayed in Yuzhou for more than half a month. I had a great time. I didn't know that my sister would not go back with us until I was leaving. I was so sad that I jumped out of the car and ran back to find her. When my elder brother sent someone to arrest me , I stayed in her car and refused to leave, crying so hard that I almost lost my breath." Zhi Xiu pushed the bitter Yu Zhouyi to his left cheek, "Do you know what my sister said to me?"
Xi Ping's teeth were stuck to the caramel, and he answered vaguely: "What?"
"She said, 'If there is no difference, there will be no longing. No one can enjoy the banquet that lasts forever'." Zhi Xiu raised his eyes and looked at Xi Ping calmly. When you were ten years old, you might not be as happy as you are now. You are the only one in the world who has no Taoism, Shiyong, have you held back for a long time? In fact, when a person builds a foundation, it is almost as if he is dead, right?"
Caught off guard, Xi Ping bit the candy into pieces with a click.
"Don't worry, the heart of being a teacher is not broken yet." Zhi Xiu said, spreading out his palms, holding a seed crawling in the snow, "'Evil demons and heretics' are always a bit more serious—what did you see in the furnace? Go to Pofali and show it to me."
Xi Ping hesitated for a while, and brought Zhixiu's consciousness into the law-breaking space. Originally, he wanted to whitewash what he saw in the outer furnace carefully, but it was because these stagnations had been stuck in his heart for too long, so he made a head start. Then it was out of control—
Xi Ping hurriedly restrained his spiritual consciousness, trying to push out the master's spiritual consciousness, but Zhi Xiu pressed his shoulder with Zhao Ting, and the sword repairer's hand was as steady as Mount Tai.
Even if the spirit is forbidden, the cicada sheds his spiritual consciousness much faster than others, Zhi Xiu only read the ins and outs at a glance.
"Three-day dream grass," Xi Ping observed the master's reaction with trepidation, but Zhi Xiu smiled, "I see."
"Second-hand companion wood," Zhi Xiu patted him with the photo court, and sighed, "Didn't you notice that when Yuan Hui died, the real yuan didn't explode?"
