Fairy Sword Inquiry 1

chapter 32
After finishing speaking, Xing Yan made up his mind and quickened his pace to move forward.After walking a few steps and passing a quiet and deserted place, he suddenly stopped, took a deep breath, collected himself, then suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled the sack with all his strength: Under the reflection of the setting sun, the originally blunt ancient sword in the young man's hand has already given birth to a cold front! ——If Ruo Shuanghua's sword blade, after the setting sun shines, it is actually shining brightly, just like two pools of cold autumn water, against the already old sword body, it looks more and more radiant.The frost blade is like a mirror, reflecting the clear and clear eyes of the young man.

For this strange sight, although Xingyan had prepared himself mentally, he was still quite shocked at first sight.However, after a while, the boy regained his composure.After all, after these two short days, Xingyan has already experienced so many strange things, and now he is quite familiar with them. "Ashamed! It turns out that this old sword I picked up by accident is really a psychic treasure!"

——Anyone who gets a rare thing out of thin air will be rejoiced, let alone this young man!After he figured out the joints, he was overjoyed immediately, dancing with his hands and feet, he was really happy!
Just when the young man was overjoyed and a little bit carried away, he suddenly heard someone shouting in his ear: "Brother Xingyan! I don't know why he understands why he is so happy and forgets himself?" Hearing the sound, he hurriedly turned his head to watch—"Ah! But it turned out to be you, old man!"

It turned out that the shouting person, with brown clothes and awning shoes, and black hair and childlike face, was the old man "Yun Zhongjun" whom he hadn't seen for many days! "Ho! That day my old man gave me a flute sheet music, so that I can get food and clothing--this love of teaching and fishing, the kid is always in my heart..." Seeing the warning words of the benefactor at first glance, I just talked about it When I got here, the old man Yun Zhongjun cut off the conversation: "A little favor, what a waste of time! Today, the old man came here for nothing else, just to congratulate the younger brother!" "Me? To congratulate?" Xingyan was puzzled—could it be that the old man knew about his treasure so quickly?Not so fast.

"Exactly!" Yun Zhongjun smiled. "Uh!! But I don't know why the old man is congratulating me?" Knowing that Yun Zhongjun has a very special background, and also benefited from his gift of a flute and score, Xingyan speaks respectfully when talking to him, and his words are respectful, not daring to exceed the slightest bit of etiquette—— ——Although this informal Yun Zhongjun once asked him to call him "old brother", he never dared to presume to overstep, and he was still as polite as a teacher.

"Ha! You are a young man, but you also pretend to be ignorant in front of this old man—why do you call me 'Old Man'? From now on, we will be called 'Friends of the Daoist'!"

The young man who was listening heard the words, but he was still confused and didn't understand why.Just listen to that Yun Zhongjun continued:
"I'm here today to congratulate my little brother. You're not young yet, but you've got to see the way of heaven and play all the different songs of the fairy family!" It wasn't until this time that Xingyan finally understood: it turns out that this old man, Yun Zhongjun, I must have known that yesterday I used that "Taihua power" to play a different song "Shuilongyin".

Hearing such praise from Yun Zhongjun, who has always been respected, Xingyan was a little complacent.At the moment, he wanted to answer humbly, but he didn't know how to speak—Xing Yan, who claimed to be "Tai Hua Dao Li", was obviously embarrassed to say it.

So, Xingyan could only be like all the honest young men who have heard the approval of the elders, who were speechless and just kept giggling there. "Heh! Although fellow daoist Zhang has only glimpsed the way of heaven for the first time, if he continues to practice like this, fellow daoist has a limitless future!" Knowing that this young man has a thin skin in front of him, this cynical Yun Zhongjun, but he chose "friend daoist"" Fellow Daoist" kept calling.

"... Hearing the old man's compliments, the boy is ashamed, but there is something unclear - I only hear that ordinary people are envious of the practice of Taoism, but I don't know what the future will be after this cultivation?"

Seeing that this strange man, Yun Zhongjun, also admired the matter of cultivating Taoism so much, the young man became a little curious-you know, Qinghe, the authentic Shangqing Palace veteran Taoist who woke up very familiar, seemed to be doing well.If he has such a future in cultivating Taoism, although he can be considered to have no worries about food and clothing, but for Xingyan, who is now considered to have no worries about food and clothing, it can't really be called "unlimited".

"Haha!!" Seeing the disapproval on the young man's expression, the old man Yun Zhongjun couldn't help laughing, and said loudly:

"If mortals can cultivate the Dao and gain a glimpse of the secrets of heaven, they will live forever and see the Tao and ascend to the sky. From then on, they can drink the wind and drink the dew, not eat the five grains, live the same life as the heaven and the earth, walk with the sun and the moon, go out to ride the clouds, and return to step on the rainbow Ni, come and go in a flash, float in the clouds, and travel between the heaven and the earth. If the Tao is profound and the celestial relationship is wide and thick, you can go to the sky and enter the earth, drive the spirit luan, and drive the flying dragon..."

Speaking of this, Yun Zhongjun, who was eloquently describing the wonderful scene after becoming a fairy, suddenly stopped, paused, and was quite annoyed:
"Ah! Bah! Bah! That real dragon can be ridden casually?! What nonsense!!" Although he didn't understand why this Yun Zhongjun, who was in high spirits, suddenly became angry with himself inexplicably. , Xingyan still took advantage of this opportunity to quickly stop the chattering old man in front of him: "Uh!! It's very, very!... But, let me tell you the truth, these happy words after attaining Taoism and becoming immortals , but I have already heard it by heart!!" "Huh? You have heard these words by heart?" Yun Zhongjun, who was trying to boast about the magic of becoming a fairy, couldn't help being surprised when he heard this.

"That's right! A Taoist priest from the Shangqing Palace who is familiar with me often mentioned your words to me." When he said this, before Xingyan's eyes, a picture of "Old Dao Qinghe Evangelism" appeared involuntarily: Words are supplemented by gestures, hands and feet are dancing, beard and hair are trembling, saliva is flying everywhere, and they can't stop boasting about the wonderful situation after attaining the Tao and becoming a fairy.The main content of those words is also the same as what Yun Zhongjun said just now.What is slightly different is that although the old Taoist Qinghe is a bit crazy, his eloquence is excellent. Every time he speaks up, all kinds of hypnotic words will come out of his mouth, like the sky hanging upside down. Talking on and on—— Whenever this happens, Xingyan has to back away quickly to avoid the old Taoist's spittle splashing everywhere, splashing on his clean cloth shirt!Old man Qinghe's fanatical praise often occurs when he wakes up and doubts his future in cultivation.However, after a few times of baptism with profuse saliva, Xing Yan has learned to be good, and if he is not prepared, he will not dare to provoke easily.However, Yun Zhongjun was quite surprised to hear other people mentioned these words to Xingyan besides him: "Ah! No wonder that the Shangqing Taoist Palace has become famous all over the world recently-so it turns out They also have such talent for propagandizing!" "What the old man said is very true! Not only what you just said, but I also know that those immortals who have attained the Tao are all "their sleep is not dreaming, their sleep is worry-free, and their food Not reconciled, the breath is deep'——My God!! This sense is gone, what's the point of that fairy doing it?——I think it looks like a dead person..."

"Nonsense!" Yun Zhongjun heard Xingyan say this, his face was a little red and white, and he couldn't help blurting out this sentence.

"That's right! Old man, do you think so too?" Xing Yan was excited to speak, but he didn't pay attention to Yun Zhongjun's expression, and continued to say enthusiastically:

"These, I also think it's pure nonsense - even if there are real immortals, they shouldn't all be like this wooden person. I have also read some Taoist secret books. In my opinion, those who have attained the Tao and become immortals, It should be for its spirit to communicate with the sky and the earth alone, and everything else should go with the flow, and it is definitely not the kind of unwillingness to dream!"

Usually, when the old Taoist Qinghe debated this issue with him, he was always eloquent, and the young man rarely had the opportunity to intervene.Therefore, when meeting a "confidant" for the first time, Xingyan is like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, saying all of his usual thoughts at once.

"Uh..." Hearing Xingyan's words, Yun Zhongjun didn't reply.The black-haired and childlike Yun Zhongjun, after staring at the young man for a long time, said: "Hehe, the little brother's words are very kind, but the old man is too obsessed with appearances." "It seems that my god Xue' Jade Flute and "Water and Dragon Song" are indeed given to those who are destined—" "Ah!"

As soon as I said this, the old man Yun Zhongjun seemed to think of something suddenly, and slapped his head: "I was so busy chatting with you that I forgot the most important thing today!"

"Huh? What's the matter?"

"If you don't mention 'Shenxue', I'd almost forget about it, haha." "Ah! Old man, you mentioned the jade flute Shenxue, and I have something to tell you!" Mentioning the flute, he woke up Immediately thought of that savage girl.

"Huh? Is someone looking for you to ask for a flute? Or a little girl?" When he said this, Yun Zhongjun seemed a little nervous.

"Ah! Exactly! Old man, you are really good at predicting things—uh," Xingyan seemed to sense something was wrong when he said this, he hesitated, and asked:

"Could it be... that girl is really the original owner of this jade flute?" "Uh!! No way! In fact, the real original owner is indeed me! However, in recent years, I often put the jade flute at my granddaughter's place." , just for her to enjoy. Hehe!!" The astute young man could tell that the old man Yun Zhongjun in front of him was not very confident when he said this. "Oh!! So it's your granddaughter. What you said is quite reasonable-but... I think I'd better return the flute to your granddaughter!" Do you want to go back? Don’t mention this again—I’m here today, not to ask for the flute, but to ask for something else.” “What’s the matter?” Xing Yan was puzzled, not knowing what else this Yun Zhongjun had to do Rely on him.

"Hehe, come here today, I just ask my little brother to cover up the matter for me—that girl in my family has a weird temper, if she wants to let her know, it's me who gave away her things casually, I must Follow me—ahem, I just keep crying! But it's also very annoying." Speaking of this, Yun Zhongjun subconsciously stroked his beard under his chin.

"Ha! So that's the thing! It's a trivial matter! It's on me——when Miss Ling asked me, I said," the young man who used to walk in the market, by his ears and eyes, was familiar with this kind of thing, and he was at his fingertips , after a short pause, I had an idea:
"It's just that you bet on wine with my father and used this flute as a lottery, but in case my father drank too much and you accidentally lost the game--I am a man of faith, how can I go back on my word? So this flute It's in my hands... What do you think of this statement?"

"Wonderful! Wonderful! Both reason and reason! If you use these words to block that girl, it will be all right! — After all, the young man has a quick brain, and he really solved the old man's great distress! — Uh..."

Yun Zhongjun, who was exulting and cheering, suddenly realized that he had slipped up, and couldn't help feeling embarrassed, so he quickly shut up.After a pause for a while, he asked hesitantly:

"My little girl, why don't you make things difficult for me? If there is any disrespect, please bear with me!" "No, no! Let me tell you, your granddaughter is really handsome, and her appearance is flawless. Rare in the world!"

The well-behaved boy, at this time, avoided talking about Ling Yi'er's temperament, and only praised her appearance.

However, when he said this, Xing Yan's mind still inevitably had all kinds of savage feelings of a young girl.

"Haha! Hahaha!! Brother Xingyan has won the award! I have won the award! That little girl of mine is only passable!"

Just like all parents and elders in the world who love and sympathize with their children, this Yun Zhongjun laughed from ear to ear when he heard that he had no reason to praise his granddaughter!Although he still remembers humility, but Xingyan looked at his smiling face, and knew that Yun Zhongjun must be very happy in his heart!

Pausing for a while, Xing Yan asked cautiously: "I want to teach the old man to know that since my 'Shenxue' jade flute was originally a favorite of my granddaughter, in my opinion, it is better to return it to her. ""Uh?"

Seeing that the young man still insisted on returning the flute, Yun Zhongjun was quite surprised and didn't answer immediately. He closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then opened his eyes and said with a smile:

"Hehe, I'm afraid my little brother doesn't know that all the treasures in this world have spirituality, and they will naturally find the person who is destined. If there is no fate, you can't ask for it. If there is fate, you can't throw it away."

"In my opinion, this jade flute 'Shenxue' is destined to be with you—I'm afraid you won't go back for a while!"
