It has been three days since Tian Buyi's body was returned to Dazhu Peak by Gui Li, but Su Ru still strangely prevented the disciples of Dazhu Peak from reporting the bad news to their fellow disciples. This not only made Song Daren and others feel great grief and pain Apart from that, I felt inexplicable, and even Gui Li was a little surprised.
However, no one dared to talk about this to Suru face to face. Facing her husband who was protecting his body with immortal treasures in the Shoujing Hall, the sadness on Su Ru's face made Zongren unable to speak and Dazhu. The people in Feng's lineage are thin, and they have always kept a low profile in the Qingyun Sect. If there is nothing important, no one will come to this secluded mountain peak. As a result, Dazhufeng held a public memorial ceremony in the Shoujing Hall for three days, and Qingyun unexpectedly No one noticed at the door
But in the early morning of this day, an outsider finally came and quietly landed on Dazhu Peak. His clothes were as white as snow, floating out of the dust. It was Lu Xueqi.
A faint blue ray of light flashed by, aura of auspiciousness lingered gently, the sky was quietly radiating brilliance in her white hands. Lu Xueqi looked around silently, only to see the green mountains and green waters, overflowing with tranquility as usual, nothing seemed strange at all. , only with two white mourning curtains hanging on both sides of the silent hall in front, can we see the sadness here.
She silently looked at the white mourning curtain for a while, and then walked towards the Shou Jing Hall. Not long after they noticed the movement, Song Daren and others walked out of the Shou Jing Hall in mourning clothes, with a hint of surprise on their faces, and at the same time, A bit embarrassing
After seeing clearly that the person who came was Lu Xueqi and that she was alone, Song Daren and others visibly let out a sigh of relief.
Lu Xueqi bowed her hands and said calmly: "Lu Xueqi, a disciple of Xiaozhufeng, has met senior brother Song and all the other senior brothers."
Song Daren and Wu Dayi, He Dazhi and others who were standing behind him did not dare to neglect and returned the courtesy one after another. Then Song Daren smiled bitterly and said: Why did Junior Sister Lu come to our place? This oh, I made you laugh.
There was no smile on Lu Xueqi's face, but rather a serious and mournful look. She was silent for a moment and said: "Xueqi has no other intention here. She just wants to pay homage to Master Tian and pay respects to Master Su Ru. I hope all the senior brothers will inform you, Xue Qi Grateful
Song Daren and others looked at each other and pondered for a moment. Song Daren said: Junior sister Lu, you are too polite. After all, you are not an outsider, uh
He suddenly paused, and Lu Xueqi's face seemed to be red for no reason. Song Daren was a little embarrassed, smiled and took him over, saying: "That's it, Master Wife is not here right now. She is alone early this morning." Went to Houshan Bamboo Forest and
He spoke for a while, with a look of grief on his face, and whispered: Master, she was always too sad about Master's fault, stabbed her and took Master's body away, and told me that she would bury Master alone.
Lu Xueqi frowned, feeling a little uneasy in her heart. This situation seemed even stranger than she had expected before arriving. She didn't care about disturbing others. How could Suru want to bury Tian Buyi alone without letting her biological daughter Tian Linger know about it?
She thought about it, pondered for a moment, and finally asked Song Daren: So, where is that person?
Song Daren was startled at first, but after looking at Lu Xueqi's face, and the always smart He Dazhi behind him pulling on his sleeves, he understood him immediately. He hesitated for a moment and said: "Little Junior brother, he has also gone to the back mountain.
Lu Xueqi was slightly surprised and raised her eyes to look at Song Daren. Song Daren gave a wry smile and said: "Master's wife didn't allow us to follow, so she only asked her junior brother to go with her."
Lu Xueqi remained silent. After a moment, she saluted Song Daren and others and said: Thank you all senior brothers. In this case, I will not delay you any more. I will come back to pay homage to Senior Uncle Tian in the future.
Song Daren and others returned the gift. Song Daren hesitated for a moment and said: Junior Sister Lu, there are many twists and turns in things here. I hope you
Before Song Daren could finish speaking, Lu Xueqi had already said: I know, please don¡¯t worry, Senior Brother Song, Xueqi will never reveal a single word to outsiders.
Song Daren nodded and stopped talking. Lu Xueqi stopped talking and turned around to leave.
After watching the white figure leave, Wu Dayi took a step forward and said: Senior brother, I think she is probably going to the back mountain. Is this okay?
He Dazhi, who was standing next to him, said calmly: Where is Shi Duban? This junior sister Lu must definitely go to the back mountain to have a look. She came to Dazhu Peak today, and she must have been ordered by Junior Shuiyue of Xiaozhu Peak. If she doesn't figure out what the junior sister is. It would be difficult for her to explain to Master Shuiyue when she went back.
Song Daren was silent for a moment and said: "It doesn't matter if she has gone. I always feel that Master's Wife has been in a sad state these past few days, and I have been worried that something bad will happen. But Master's Wife doesn't allow us to follow, and we can't go against her wishes. Although she is Qi followed, but we also knew that if Master¡¯s wife really asked Lao Qi to leave, with Lao Qi¡¯s temperament, he would always respect Master¡¯s wife and would not dare to disobey her. Miss Lu from Xiaozhu Peak went over to take a look. Overall??harmful
When the general manager heard this, most of them nodded in agreement, and then fell silent. Song Daren let out a joyful sigh, turned around and walked back to the Shoujing Hall.
Looking at the bamboo forest behind the main peak, the scenery here is quite similar to that of Xiaozhu Peak. As far as the eye can see, there are lush green bamboo forests, dancing with the wind, and bursts of bamboo waves falling from the sky in the morning light, which can be seen in the gaps in the bamboo forest. Little traces of light were projected and fell on the ground.
On the thin bamboo leaves, there are countless crystal dewdrops condensed, smooth and round, like the most precious pearls
While Gui Li was there, he felt a little confused for a moment. Many years ago, he started his life on Dazhu Peak here. For countless mornings and dusk, he wielded his woodcutter and sweated in this secluded place. Silently felling trees in the bamboo forest, those years that once felt boring, now think about it, but it seems like a dream, but the tranquility that once existed can never be found again.
??The waves of bamboo and the gentle mountain breeze are blowing by my ears
He breathed a sigh of joy in his body and mind, put aside the light and unnecessary sentimentality, turned his head and looked at Suru
Tian Buyi¡¯s body was lying on the ground not far away, and there was still Rhubarb lying next to it. = Ever since Tian Buyi¡¯s body returned to the mountain, it seems that this dog has been by Tian Buyi¡¯s side and never left.
There was no foundation under Tian Buyi's body, which seemed a bit disrespectful to the deceased. However, from Gui Li to Song Daren and even Du Bishu, no one dared to question Suru's behavior in the slightest.
It's just that even though she can't change Suru's sadness, her behavior is still very puzzling. Gui Li wants to ask, but at this moment, Suru's figure with her back to him is like a wall, which makes him Don't know how to speak
At this time, Suru broke the silence: What, do you have something to say to me?
Gui Li was taken aback, then he pondered for a moment, and finally said carefully: Master Wife, I have a few words, I don¡¯t know whether to say them or not.
Suru said lightly: You said it, and I also know that these words are not just contrary to what one person wants to say.
Gui Li choked for a moment. He wanted to know that his master wife was an extremely intelligent person. It seemed that the pain of losing her husband did not affect her thoughts too much. At that moment, Gui Li coughed lightly and said: Master wife, please I forgive my disciple for being bold, but I understand that my wife is sorry for my master¡¯s death
Having said this, Gui Li glanced at Tian Buyi's remains unexpectedly, and couldn't help but feel sad in his heart. After a moment, he continued: It's just that the disciple begs Master's wife to refrain from mourning no matter what. In addition, although Master's wife is sad, but Master's funeral arrangements should be arranged as soon as possible. Besides, Senior Sister Ling'er is reasonable and should be informed that she will come back to pay homage to Master.
Suru didn¡¯t look back or speak.
Gui Li felt uneasy in his heart, lowered his head slightly, and said in a low voice: Master, if Zi Ruo has something bold to say, please don¡¯t pay attention to it.
Suru shook her head, turned around slowly, looked at Gui Li, and said: You didn't say anything wrong, everything you said was right.
Gui Li looked at Suru and was surprised. Suru was dressed very differently today than in the past few days. Although she was still in mourning clothes, her face could be seen that she had been dressed up and was much more energetic. What a beautiful color, so tempting
Gui Li lowered his head. He didn¡¯t know what to say for a moment. He hesitated for a long time and then said: Teacher¡¯s wife, I still have a moment. Please dare to ask Teacher¡¯s wife.
Suru said lightly: You said
??Ghost Li said: The master passed away, and the disciple and his wife share the same sorrow. However, the master¡¯s body should not be moved carelessly, and it should not be moved to this back mountain
Suru suddenly asked: Are you teaching me a lesson?
Gui Li quickly shook his head and said: Disciple dare not
Suru glanced at him and said nothing, but her expression slowly softened. She seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly a sad look appeared on her face and she said: Lao Qi, do you know how many years have your master been married to me?
Gui Li's heart was shaken, and he vaguely felt that there was deep sorrow and sadness in Master's words. However, even though he knew this, he didn't know how to comfort him. He was worried at the moment, but he could only whisper: Disciple Don't know
Suru smiled, turned around, slowly sat down next to Tian Buyi, and said in a low voice: In fact, it¡¯s not just you who doesn¡¯t know, even I myself have forgotten that during these years in the mountains, he and I have known each other. Staying together is enough for me, but how can I think about how many days have passed? He always laughed at my stupidity and said that if we fail to cultivate in the future, it will be difficult for us to enter the immortal world and fall into reincarnation again. At the moment of separation and death, we don¡¯t know what the situation will be like.
Her voice gradually became lower and she said: I asked him that day what he wanted, and he said he had nothing else to ask for. If he left before me, the Taoist monks would not want a grand burial, and they would not even need a coffin. , come naturally, go naturally, just want to be in the great masterA piece of loess on the back mountain is enough, so that he can watch the people on the front mountain day and night without fear of loneliness.
Before she finished speaking, she was already quietly bursting into tears
Gui Li gritted his teeth and could not speak.
Dahuang, who was lying on the side, raised his head slightly, looked at Suru, then crawled down, and his tail shook slightly.
Suru stared at Tian Buyi for a long time, then suddenly waved her hand and said: You go down the mountain now and come back in half an hour.
The ghost hesitated, and finally dared to say: Master, Master, Master and his old man's life in your lifetime, the disciples naturally did not dare to violate it, but before Master entered the soil, should I still know that the sister Linger would
Suru was silent for a moment and said in a low voice: That's fine, you can tell Daren when you get down from the mountain and ask him to quietly go to Longshou Peak to call Ling'er back.
Gui Li nodded, turned and left. When he reached the stone steps at the intersection, he couldn't help but look back again. In the meantime, Suru sat silently next to Tian Buyi's body, her figure was lonely, and she looked really sad for him. My heart felt sour again, and I quickly turned around, not daring to look anymore, and walked on.
Along the way, his mind calmed down, and he suddenly thought of the same situation in the past few days. Suru didn't ask Song Daren and others to inform Qingyun Mountain of the bad news. This in itself was extremely strange, and even Tian Linger was not allowed to inform them. , it is unreasonable to deal with Tian Buyi's funeral in this way today. Although Tian Buyi had made an agreement before his death, it was still too hasty.
Gui Li sighed softly in his heart and shook it off. In fact, people who practice Taoism don't pay much attention to the future. It may not be a good thing to bury flesh, blood and skin among the green earth and loess.
He was thinking silently like this, and was too lazy to ride the wind. He walked all the way down the mountain road. Unknowingly, he reached the middle of the mountain. He wanted to think about the time when he first climbed Dazhu Peak, following his senior brother Song Daren and his junior sister Tian Linger. To get to the back mountain, this section of the road is really hard. The past events are still in my mind.
But I don¡¯t know how senior sister Ling¡¯er has been doing these past few years?
A faint bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he shook his head. Then, he suddenly stopped and looked forward in surprise.
On the mountain road, a white figure suddenly appeared in front of him. He was tall and graceful, standing silently and peacefully. In the morning light, he seemed not to be even half earthly, staring at him silently.
Gui Li also looked at her. The two looked at each other for a long time, but neither seemed to have anything to say.
The mountain breeze blew by, blowing her hair and clothes, and they fluttered gently with the wind.
Finally, Gui Li spoke first: Why why are you here?
Lu Xueqi whispered: My master called me to come and pay homage to Master Su.
Gui Li nodded silently, hesitated for a moment, and said: Master¡¯s wife is treating her injuries in the back mountain, but she wants to be alone at this moment, and doesn¡¯t want anyone to disturb her. She told me to go up in half an hour.
Lu Xueqi also nodded and said: It doesn¡¯t matter, I¡¯ll just wait.
Gui Li responded and fell silent. Lu Xueqi over there didn't seem to know what to say. When the silence gradually became silent between the two of them, although they stood still, they seemed to be far away.
After a while, Lu Xueqi said softly: Are your injuries better?
Gui Li said softly: Much better. As he said that, he raised his head and looked at Lu Xueqi and said: If you hadn't saved me that day, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to stand here. I should thank you.
Lu Xueqi was startled for a moment, looked at Gui Li, and said: That day, my sword
Gui Li suddenly said: Stop talking.
Lu Xueqi¡¯s expression dimmed, she paused, and she lowered her head silently.
Gui Li seemed a little hesitant, and then continued: Those things my wife told me, she said I wrongly blamed you, I'm sorry
Lu Xueqi shuddered and raised her head. There was sadness on Gui Li's face, and his eyes were willing to look at her. However, even so, he still said slowly word by word: Of course I believe what the master's wife said. Yes, it¡¯s just that Master, after all, is the mentor who raised me and taught me. I know that maybe I am too selfish. I just hope that you can give me more time, so I can
I understand, I¡¯ll wait for you. Lu Xueqi suddenly interrupted him
Gui Li was a little surprised. He raised his head and looked at her. The beautiful woman was biting her lip with her teeth, and there seemed to be tears in her eyes. But the body that seemed to be tightly stretched by you seemed to be in the same place. He relaxed instantly, and there was a faint hint of relief and a smile at the corner of his mouth.
Looking at the affectionate woman, the corner of his mouth moved, and a burst of tenderness suddenly surged in his heart. He was about to say something to her with a smile, but who knew that at this moment, a voice suddenly appeared from behind them?From the bamboo forest on the top of the mountain, there was a burst of wild dog barking in the distance.
His body suddenly stiffened
That was Rhubarb's bark. Ever since he returned to Dazhu Peak with the body of his mentor Tian Buyi, Rhubarb rescued a body that followed its owner silently and never made a loud noise again. But at this moment, Rhubarb's barking sounded like this. Although the sound seemed a little faint from the distance, it sounded almost like madness. The cry was so desperate that he had never heard it in more than ten years.
What happened to make Dahuang suddenly become so hysterical and barking like crazy?
The faint worry that had been buried deep in his heart suddenly came to his mind. Gui Li's face instantly became extremely pale, and even his hands began to tremble slightly.
Lu Xueqi was also surprised, but when she saw Gui Li¡¯s expression of confusion, she asked in surprise: ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±
Gui Li did not answer, he just trembled slightly and suddenly roared loudly: "Master's wife"
Before he finished speaking, his figure had already rushed upward, like the wind and thunder, rushing towards the depths of the bamboo forest behind the mountain.
Lu Xueqi was so smart, she knew something in the blink of an eye. For a moment, her face turned pale and her body trembled slightly. If something happened again when Suru was extremely sad due to Tian Buyi's death What would happen to Gui Li? She wouldn't Dare to imagine, and how the two of them will face each other when the time comes, she can't even imagine.
Looking at the figure that was flying away crazily, she suddenly felt helpless as she had never felt before, like a huge shadow shrouding her side. She wanted to chase after it, but the steps of her body seemed to be followed by an invisible force. She was restrained and couldn't move at all. Deep in her heart, she desperately shouted to herself: "Don't don't
