Gui Li was so anxious that he rushed away with all his strength. He walked on his current path, and all the flowers, plants and trees on both sides of the road fell to him in an instant, like a gap opening in the sea. The wind he was facing made his face blurry because he was moving too fast. It hurt, but he didn't care at all
At this moment, in his heart, there is only the figure of Suru in the bamboo forest in the back mountain.
Dahuang's barking was still in his ears, and the extremely manic figure of Gui Li suddenly rose into the sky from the stone steps at the foot of the mountain, making a sharp sound that broke through the air. He rushed up the stone steps. The man was still in the air, but Gui Li's heart was filled with excitement. I got a sudden chill, I could hardly control myself and almost fell off
On the ground, there were two caves that were more than one person long and wide. There were two piles of soil next to them. The soil was moist, so it must have been dug by Suru just now. Thinking of these two caves. It was useful. Gui Li's face was pale and his scalp was numb. Tian Buyi's body was still lying quietly in the same place and not moving. But at this moment, Suru, who Gui Li was most worried about, threw herself on Tian Buyi's chest, motionless.
Next to him, Da Huang was barking loudly at Suru.
Gui Li's heart sank. Looking at the slender figure that was in front of him not long ago, he felt timid that he didn't dare to face it or get close. At this time, on the stone steps behind him, a face slowly appeared. The pale Lu Xueqi, she stood there from a distance, silently staring at all this
Gui Li suppressed his frantic heartbeat and called out softly: "Master's Wife?"
Suru¡¯s body remained motionless, without any response.
Gui Li moved forward slowly, each step seemed very strenuous, and Dahuang's barking sound was still heard. Finally, he got close to Suru's body and whispered in a low voice: "Master's wife don't scare me. ¡¡±
The slightly trembling hand touched Suru's shoulder. Gui Li gritted his teeth and used force to turn Suru's body over: an unexpected face with a slight smile appeared in front of his eyes.
Suru smiled, and there seemed to be a hint of relief at the corner of her mouth. Maybe she was with her husband.
Her body is still warm, her expression is still quiet and dignified, but she has lost her vitality
Rhubarb¡¯s bark is still barking wildly, but his voice has gradually become hoarse.
Gui Li¡¯s legs softened and he sat on the ground. After a moment, his mind went blank.
"My wife has also gone"
This is the only cry in his mind, echoing endlessly in his heart
The next day, the other branches of the Qingyun Sect received the bad news from the Dazhu Peak branch. The leader Tian Buyi and his wife Suru both passed away.
The position of Mr. and Mrs. Tian Buyi in the Qingyun Sect was very important, and it was expected that this bad news shocked everyone in the Qingyun Sect in an instant. Countless fellow sect members flew to Dazhu Peak to express their condolences. Tian Linger, who hurried back from Longshou Peak, burst into tears in front of his parents. The other elders of various sects shed tears when they thought about their old friendship. Although they were all accomplished monks, many of them shed tears. Among them, Master Shuiyue, the first of Xiaozhu Peak, who had always been the best with Suru, was the most sad.
In this solemn and sad atmosphere, there are still some abnormal clues. Due to the high status of Tian Buyi and his wife, all other branches are present, except in Changmen Tongtian Peak, although the elders of the previous generation are here. Quite a few, but Daoxuan Zhenren, the leader of the sect and headmaster Qingyun, was nowhere to be seen. This inevitably showed that Tongtian Peak looked down upon the Dazhu Peak lineage.
Song Daren and other Dazhufeng disciples all wore filial piety and had sad faces. They were all respectful when picking up and dropping off fellow disciples. However, when they saw Xiao Yicai and other eldest disciples, their faces were angry and their words were much colder. Xiao Yicai and others felt guilty and couldn't say anything. Apart from smiling bitterly, they had no choice but to stand aside and shut up.
The incense is lingering and the cries are endless. This sense of sadness is probably the sadness for the passing of the old friend. It lingers on the top of the originally beautiful and quiet Dazhu Peak. People live for a lifetime, but they don¡¯t know whether they really have spirits after death. If so, If this is the case, then the old friend is watching all this in the dark, and I wonder what he would think?
But I guess it¡¯s not easy, so I won¡¯t look sad
A figure floated down from the direction of Qingyun Mountain. It seemed a little dazed. At noon, it entered Heyang City alone.
People were coming and going on the street. Although it was not as lively as in the past, it could be seen that the city was slowly regaining its vitality. Some people died in the catastrophe, while others survived. Some children grew up to be adults. Generation after generation, the city was alive and well. interest
Gui Li stood on the street, silently looking at the crowds on the street. Strange people passed by him, like a never-ending wave. He was in a sea of ??people. Everything around him was people exactly like him. They Birth, old age, illness and death, living quietly in reincarnation
But why do people want to live?
Just thinking about it
Both his master and his wife passed away. They died in front of him. After the pain in his heart and lungs, all he had left was numbness and exhaustion.
In this life, he seemed to feel that he was walking on a road that was much longer than others, and there was no end in sight for this road.
He walked numbly, and there were sounds coming from outside, such as hawking and shouting. Even if he wanted to, he could hear clearly the voice of a woman teaching a child across the street. All of this, he felt so far away from himself. In a daze, he only felt that he was no longer like this human being.
Unconsciously, he came to a place, looked up, and saw the familiar restaurant sign. Deep in his heart, something suddenly moved, and he couldn't help but walk in.
There were very few customers in the restaurant. It was obvious that the business here had not recovered from the catastrophe. The waiter came over and asked with a smile: "Sir, do you want to eat or drink?"
Gui Li was silent for a moment, but was speechless for a moment. After coming down from Qingyun Mountain, he was in a daze, as if he couldn't lift his spirits for anything. He felt a bit desperate, just like he had witnessed Bi Qing ten years ago. Yao blocked the sword for him. However, ten years later, he seems to be less crazy and more tired.
"My guest, my guest?"
The slightly raised voice of the waiter woke up Gui Li. He shook his head numbly and walked to a secluded place to sit down.
The waiter came over, still smiling, and said, "Sir, what do you want to eat?"
"You have here" He said slowly, and suddenly something flashed from somewhere deep in his memory, "Do you have any 'Steamed Sleeping Fish' here?"
The waiter was startled for a moment, then laughed and said: "Sir, are you a regular customer of our Shanhaiyuan before? This steamed fish was our signature dish at the time, but you can't eat it now."
Gui Li was startled for a moment and said, "Why is this?"
The waiter shrugged his shoulders and said: "It's not the beast monsters that killed Thousand Swords that were to blame. When those beast monsters occupied this place, everything within a radius of hundreds of miles suffered. Even the fish in the river outside the city It was also emptied in one roll. To this day, it is rare to see even a fish fry, let alone one that can be used for cooking.¡±
If the ghost Li was lost, he didn't know what to do, and it was a little dim. The shop was sighed for a long time before remembering the business, and asked quickly, "Guest officer, you might as well order some other dishes?"
Gui Li looked away blankly and said casually: "Forget it, I'll give you some food and drinks."
The waiter nodded, turned around and left. Halfway through, three more people came in at the door. The waiter was surprised and wondered if business had improved today. He hurriedly went to greet them. Unexpectedly, the three people were only here. After looking around the store, he suddenly saw Gui Li, and one of them called out, with a bit of surprise in his voice.
Gui Li heard a strange voice, and the voice sounded somewhat familiar. He turned around and was startled. It was said that we would never meet again at the end of the world. The three people standing over there were none other than Zhou Xian, Xiao Huan and Wild Dog. Three people, the one who shouted was Zhou Xian
???????????????????????????????? For some reason, Gui Li felt a sense of intimacy in his heart for no apparent reason. Although he was not a close friend, his state of mind at the moment was really light-hearted.
The stunned look on Immortal Yiyi's face disappeared in an instant, and then he walked over quickly with a smile on his face. The "Immortal Guidance" curtain hanging on a bamboo pole in his hand fluttered in the wind, and he came to Gui Li and laughed. : "It's really unexpected that we meet here again."
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Gui Li's mouth. Although it disappeared in an instant, he still said: "Senior, please take a seat."
Zhou Yixian nodded and sat down politely. The waiter stood aside and asked with a smile: "Are you all together?"
Zhou Yixian rolled his eyes at him and said: "Nonsense, can't we sit together if we are not together?"
The waiter nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, yes, please sit down. I'll prepare the food and drinks. I'll be here soon."
Zhou Yixian couldn¡¯t stop laughing, but he pulled the waiter over and casually ordered seven or eight more dishes and three or four bottles of wine. The waiter nodded without hesitation and went to prepare the preparations.
Xiaohuan's face on the side was not as happy as her grandfather's. On the contrary, her face looked dark and quite ugly. Especially when she saw Zhou Yixian later asking the waiter to order food and ask for wine, she looked gloomy. She wanted to speak several times, but she still endured it. After the waiter left, she couldn't help but sneered and said: "Grandpa, you ordered so many dishes. Could it be that you saw your savior here and wanted to treat him well to repay him?" ?"
Zhou Yixian¡¯s face darkened and he said angrily: ¡°Xiaohuan, you are talking nonsense.¡±So, what kind of relationship do we have with Brother Gui Li? How can we compare it with these drinks and food? "As he said that, he turned back to Gui Li and smiled, then sighed, shook his head and said: "Look at this Heyang City. After the catastrophe, people's hearts are not as old as they used to be. No one is willing to read fortune tellers anymore. The way of the world is It¡¯s difficult¡¡±
Xiao Huan's expression changed, she glanced at Gui Li, and then gave Zhou Xian a hard look. Her face turned reddish, but Gui Li didn't seem to feel anything. He just said lightly: "Yes, don't worry, old man, I cheated on you back then." After taking care of you for many days, this time I ask you to thank me."
Xiao Huan¡¯s face immediately turned red, but Zhou Xian was greatly pleased. He nodded and said with a smile: ¡°Not bad, not bad, the little boy can be taught.¡±
Taoist Wild Dog looked at Xiao Huan, then at Gui Li, but hesitated to speak.
At this time, the waiter brought several plates of cold dishes and two jugs of wine. Yi Xian took the jug politely and filled it up for everyone present. He raised his glass and said, "We are all wandering people. We can It is a rare fate to meet here, so I drank this.¡±
After that, he raised his head and drank it all, and then shook his head slightly. It seemed that he was quite satisfied with the taste of the wine. Gui Li looked at him and moved the corners of his mouth. He didn't know if he was smiling, but the muscles on his face He looked so stiff that even if he smiled, he wouldn't be able to show it. He slowly picked up the wine glass and put it to his lips. Just a moment later, he suddenly sighed, with a bit of helplessness and pain, as if what he was holding in his hand was actually The most bitter thing, I couldn't drink it, so I slowly put it back on the table
At this time, Xiaohuan, who was sitting next to Yiyi Xian, couldn't help it anymore and stabbed Yiyi Xian and said: "It's a rare fate. I don't know who saw someone else's figure from a distance on the street and yelled. I caught up and planned to eat for free."
Zhou Xian's face did not change color, he only rolled his eyes at Xiaohuan and said: "Children's words are unbridled, children's words are unbridled"
Gui Li didn't seem to take Xiao Huan's words to heart. He looked as if he was always absent-minded and thinking about something. Xiao Huan had known him for many years, but this was the first time he saw Gui Li look like this. He didn't feel a little worried. He got up and couldn't help but ask Gui Li, "What's wrong with you? What's the matter?"
Gui Li was silent for a moment, but did not answer Xiao Huan. Instead, he said to Zhou Yixian: "Senior"
Zhou Yixian just poured himself another glass of wine and smiled when he heard this and said, "What's the matter?"
Gui Li's eyes were slightly hollow and he whispered: "I remember ten years ago, when I was a young boy who had just come down from Qingyun Mountain, in Heyang City, you once told my fortune for me?"
Both Zhou Xian and Xiao Huan were startled, while Taoist Wild Dog was confused. Naturally, he knew nothing about those old events. Zhou Xian frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said, "Well, I still remember a little bit You look like, what¡¯s wrong, you¡¯re fine, why do you suddenly ask about what happened back then?¡±
At this point, a mysterious look suddenly appeared on his face, and he lowered his voice and said to the ghost: "Are you going to say that after these ten years, our fortune-telling money was not good at the beginning, and you want to get back the fortune-telling money?"
"Grandpa" Xiaohuan scolded Yiyi Xian. It seemed he couldn't bear it anymore. He pushed Yiyi Xian aside and said to Gui Li, "Brother Gui Li, what's on your mind? Maybe you can tell me. "
Gui Li glanced at Xiao Huan. There was a rare warmth in the tiredness in his eyes, but he still shook his head gently and said, "I'm fine. I just want to ask the old gentleman a few words."
Zhou Yixian tidied up his clothes and coughed. Immediately, the ancient Taoist immortal style came out. For a moment, the small restaurant hall was filled with brilliance, and he was the only one who dominated it.
"Say," he said calmly, "based on our friendship, you can talk about anything, but you still have to pay for your life." At the end of the sentence, he ignored Xiao Huan's blushing face and faced Gui Li. blinked
Gui Li smiled faintly, and patted Xiao Huan with some comfort, who was about to have a seizure because he felt so embarrassed. Then he turned to Zhou Xian, with a look of confusion on his face, and said: "Senior, you are playing in the world, and you have no knowledge." Fei Fei, I have something that makes me confused. I would like to ask, senior, why do you think we are here for the rest of our lives?"
As soon as these words came out, both Xiao Huan and Wild Dog were startled. Looking at Gui Li with a puzzled look, Zhou Xian frowned. The joking color on his face gradually faded away, and his expression became serious. He did not answer blindly. , but after pondering for a long time, he slowly said: "You look abnormal, not as good as before, but have you encountered anything unsatisfactory again?"
Gui Li was silent for a moment and said in a low voice: "My mentor, my wife, passed away a few days ago."
"Ah" Xiaohuan and Taoist Wild Dog were both shocked and cried out. Zhouxian Xian frowned, sighed, and whispered: "Did Tian Buyi go too? It's a pity?"
Gui Li was indifferent, Zhou Xian closed his eyes slightly, then looked as usual and said: "No wonder you have such a bad face.The color of pain is just a matter of life, separation and death. It is a normal human condition and no one can avoid it. You are an extraordinary person, why should you indulge in it? "
Gui Li had a look of pain on his face and said, "But the death of the two of them actually has something to do with me."
Zhou Yixian said calmly: "In this case, you should pay back what is due to you. Why bother yourself here?"
Gui Li was startled and said calmly: "What should I repay? What should I repay?"
Zhou Yixian said: "Let me ask you, when your master and master passed away, did you feel any resentment towards you?"
Gui Li lowered his head slowly, and after a while he said slowly: "No, my mentor and my wife were so kind to me. Even before their death, they still cared about me and took me, an unfilial and unfilial disciple, into their sect" The words came later. , already slightly choked with sobs
Xiao Huan next to her looked at Gui Li¡¯s look, and her eyes turned red without realizing it.
Zhou Xian smiled slightly, with a faint light flowing in his eyes, as if he had jumped out of the mundane world and seen through the world, and said: "Then let me ask you again, when your master and master passed away, did you feel any regrets?"
Gui Li hesitated for a moment and slowly shook his head.
Zhou Yixian smiled and said: "That's it. You should be happy for them. Isn't it the best end for them to die without regrets?"
Gui Li raised his head and looked at Zhou Xian, his lips moved slightly and his expression was confused.
