Chapter 115 Hearing Death and Seeing Life
In the underground fire cave, there is a man and a woman alone.
The two of them were separated by a low table. Yao Qianyuan stretched out her legs to show off her coquettishness. Lin Bai didn't shy away and allowed her to rub against him.
"How can Gai Yingqiu be a guide? She doesn't have the gentleness and amiability of senior sister, the beauty and kindness of senior sister, and the broad-mindedness of senior sister. Why didn't senior sister ask for help and she spoke first?" Lin Bai asked Yao Qianyuan. Embrace injustice.
"You don't understand." Yao Qianyuan's hair was stroked very comfortably, and he explained with a smile: "Gao Yuanyuan and Gai Chengfei were on good terms, and Gai Chengfei also contributed to the pursuit of Tie Huasheng. Now that Qu Chengjia has arrived at the bridge Shan, of course, she wants to come to our Tianchi sect and thank Gai Chengfei. This is a favor. That slut is Gai Chengfei’s descendant, so she deserves to come forward.”
"If it hadn't been for senior sister's suggestion, I would never have been able to figure out the key in my life." Lin Bai expressed his sincere gratitude, and then asked: "When will Gao Yuanyuan and Qu Chengjia leave? Don't go to Qiaoshan Sect. Are you done? ”
"How do I know this?" Yao Qianyuan shook his head.
"Is Qu Chengjia's descendant a boy or a girl?" Lin Bai asked again.
"They are two girls, one is a junior of Qu Chengjia's family, and the other is her apprentice." Yao Qianyuan said with a smile.
Lin Bai stopped asking and just remained silent.
If Yao Qianyuan's information is true, Naqu Ruyi and Xiuxiu may have arrived at Xinyi Square.
Pei Ning's message has already stated his attitude: hibernate and practice, and then plan for the funeral.
Lin Bai also thought so. Although I miss Xiuxiu in my heart, now is not the opportunity to meet.
"Why aren't you talking?" Seeing Lin Bai's silence, Yao Qianyuan smiled charmingly, "You keep asking about them, why don't you lower your head and look at the beautiful scenery in front of you?"
Lin Bai lowered his head and saw a foot.
There is nothing good-looking, not as white as Sister Ning, nor as tender as Sister Ning.
Lin Bai moved again, took out the alchemy furnace, and began to refine the elixir.
Yao Qianyuan yawned, kicked Lin Bai angrily, and then watched Lin Bai make an elixir.
An hour later, I opened the elixir furnace and there was a subtle fragrance of elixir. Dedan twenty-four pills, high quality.
"You are getting better and better. This Gujing Pill is no worse than those in the later stages of Qi training."
Yao Qianyuan stepped forward to take a closer look, and then glanced at Lin Bai.
"Send this to Senior Sister." Lin Bai said with a smile.
Yao Qianyuan was not modest either. He immediately received the pill bottle with a smile on his face.
She stood up, put on her shoes, and tapped the door of the cave with her chin, indicating that she was leaving.
"Are we leaving now? Let's sit down for a while." Lin Bai opened the cave and smiled hypocritically.
"It's time to go." Yao Qianyuan had a slight smile on his face, "The most important thing in alchemy is to have steady hands and a calm mind, and not to be disturbed by external objects." She stepped out and then looked back, "I just seduced you for a long time, even if it's a dog. You have to move, but you haven’t moved at all.”
This is a secret scolding Lin Bai for being worse than a beast.
She walked forward with her hands behind her back, never looking at Lin Bai behind her.
Not far away, Yao Qianyuan saw Jiang Chun coming towards him.
"How is your little sister?" Yao Qianyuan asked with a smile.
"Everything is fine with her. I miss her." Jiang Chun smiled and bowed.
"She has been locked up for so long, isn't she afraid of getting sick?" Yao Qianyuan asked again.
"This time is just for her to cultivate her mind and meditate." Jiang Chun explained with a smile, "Besides, we brothers and sisters will go to see her from time to time and chat with her to relieve our boredom."
< br>
"That's not bad." Yao Qianyuan clasped her hands behind her back, nodded slightly, and asked curiously: "By the way, she didn't say anything about sending me a message, didn't she mention me?"
"Uncle won't let her talk to you... ahem..." Jiang Chun almost said that she was bald, "My little sister is practicing hard and occasionally communicates with fellow Taoist Yun Zhonghe, and she only expresses some insights on cultivation."
"Him?" Yao Qianyuan smiled, looked back at Lin Bai's cave, then looked at Jiang Chun, and asked, "What do you think of Fellow Taoist Yun's appearance?"
"Upright and suave." Jiang Chun was very objective.
"What about temperament?" Yao Qianyuan asked again.
"Knowing etiquette, easy-going, and generous. He is willing to help others. He is a member of our generation." Jiang Chun replied.
"Where's the talent?" Yao Qianyuan asked with a smile.
"I can't say it's excellent, but I'm not slow in practice, and I'm quite talented in alchemy." Jiang Chun said.
"That's right." Yao Qianyuan's smile grew thicker and he whispered: "Your sister was banned, but she still didn't forget to correspond with him. You said you were just discussing spiritual practice, but I don't believe it." Yao Qianyuan held up his finger. He nodded Jiang Chun twice and said seriously: "You should be more careful. The fairy grass in other houses was uprooted just after it grew."
Jiang Chun frowned and said: "Fellow Daoist Yun is not that kind of person. My little sister... although my little sister acts a little unscrupulously, she still knows the importance."
"Do you know what a young girl is called Huaichun? The casual cultivator is not good at anything else, but her ability to fool and cling to people is ten times better than yours and mine! No matter how smart Jiang Yatou is, she can't stop the wild man's sweet words. You should think about their past. Let's do it." Yao Qianyuan was serious and serious, "That's all." After she finished speaking, she stepped forward.
Jiang Chun stood there, staring blankly at Yao Qianyuan's back, and suddenly thought that the little girl in the past would rather not make money, but also rent the cave to Taoist Yun...
Yao Qianyuan came to the street happily. She didn't know about Lin Bai and Jiang Yatou. She was just idle and casually added some trouble to Lin Bai.
After walking around happily, Yao Qianyuan returned to Tianchi Pavilion.
"Senior Sister Yao." The guests in the store said politely when they saw Yao Qianyuan.
As a descendant of Jindan, she was born three points taller than others. And even if you don't develop your cultivation level, you can still find a good job.
The same is true for Gai Yingqiu.
Both of them were influenced by the Jindan ancestors.
Yao Qianyuan glanced at the counter and saw that Gai Yingqiu was not there, so she chuckled, "Where's the sexy hoof?" she asked the female Qi practitioner next to her.
"Um..." The female Qi practitioner was very embarrassed. She didn't dare to offend Yao Qianyuan, nor could she offend Gai Yingqiu, so she hesitated and pretended not to understand.
"Where's Gai Yingqiu?" Yao Qianyuan said in a different way.
"Senior Sister Gai is upstairs." The female Qi practitioner replied immediately.
Yao Qianyuan nodded and went up to the second floor.
Tianchi Pavilion is larger than Fengming Pavilion. The second floor is also a place to welcome guests, but it only receives distinguished guests.
After Yao Qianyuan inquired with Zhike on the second floor, he came to the door of a cubicle.
Knock lightly and push open. I saw four people sitting at the reception table. The person in charge was an old foundation-building cultivator, who was the monk in charge here.
There are three other people, one of whom is the most familiar, his old enemy Gai Yingqiu.
The other man was wearing a tight-fitting robe, a hosta on his head, and a folding fan in his hand. He had red lips and white teeth, and was handsome. He was indeed a rare and good young master.
The last person was a girl of twelve or thirteen years old. She sat upright and had big, dark eyes that were very smart.
The four of them sat around, with a sword placed on the table, as if they were appreciating it.
"Why are you here, Senior Sister?" Gai Yingqiu stood up with a warm smile on her face, "We were talking about you just now."
"What did you say about me?" Yao Qianyuan stepped forward and asked with a smile.
"Senior sister is said to be the most sociable and has a wide range of people." Gai Yingqiu said with a smile.
The old foundation-building cultivator was looking at Feijian. When he heard Gai Yingqiu and Yao Qianyuan chattering, he quickly closed his eyes and seemed to be in meditation.
"That doesn't count, I just know a few people." Yao Qianyuan smiled and nodded, "But just now on the road, I met Senior Brother Yang Shuyang, and we chatted for a few words, and he even talked about you."
"He said something about me?" Gai Yingqiu was immediately excited, "What did he say about me?"
Yao Qianyuan did not answer, but looked at the old cultivator of Foundation Establishment, saluted and said: "Uncle."
The old foundation-building cultivator closed his eyes and seemed not to hear.
Yao Qianyuan saluted the young master and the girl again and said with a smile: "Junior Sister Qu, Junior Sister Zhong."
These two people were Qu Ruyi and Xiu Xiu. They returned the gift without saying a word.
"Senior Sister Yao, what did Senior Brother Yang say about me?" Gai Yingqiu sat next to Yao Qianyuan and asked with great concern.
Yao Qianyuan Quan pretended not to hear, looked at the flying sword on the table, then looked at Qu Ruyi, and asked: "Junior sister Qu, are you planning to buy a flying sword?"
"I'm not lacking." Qu Ruyi explained, "It's Xiuxiu who wants to buy it." She looked at Yao Qianyuan and Gai Yingqiu meaningfully, and said with a smile: "Senior sister has the fragrance of elixirs in her body, but she just made elixirs. ?”
Hearing this, Xiuxiu looked at Yao Qianyuan with wide eyes, very curious. She comes from a medical family and is very interested in the study of alchemy.
"That's not the case." Yao Qianyuan shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "I just went to watch others make elixirs." She changed her hand, took out the elixir bottle, and handed it to Qu Ruyi, "Junior sister, let's see how it goes."
Qu Ruyi took it, opened the elixir bottle, sniffed it first, then poured out a pill, and said: "This Gujing Pill is indeed of the highest quality. If it was made by a Qi Practicing monk, it would be a compliment." She saw Xiu Xiu looking at it. Without stopping, he reached out and let her take a good look at the pill in his palm.
Xiuxiu couldn't tell whether it was good or not, but she just thought it was pretty good.
Qu Ruyi put away the elixir and handed it back to Yao Qianyuan.
"It was also given to me by someone else. It is not a precious elixir." Yao Qianyuan did not accept it, "Junior Sister Qu has praised me, so why not accept it."
Qu Ruyi smiled and said: "I have reached Consummation now and don't need this thing anymore." However, she did not brush off Yao Qianyuan's kindness and threw it to Xiuxiu, saying: "Thank you, Senior Sister Yao."
Xiuxiu took it, immediately stood up and saluted Yao Qianyuan, "Thank you, Senior Sister Yao."
"Such a well-behaved Xiuxiu, can you marry me?" Yao Qianyuan asked with a smile.
"She is still young and not sensible. We will deal with the future later..." Qu Ruyi was talking, but she saw Xiuxiu nodding. She sighed helplessly, pinched Xiuxiu's cheek hard, and said: "Since we have entered the spiritual practice, we have nothing to say about what is allowed and what is not allowed. We have to make our own decisions. Senior Sister Yao is kidding you, you..." She said again He tapped Xiuxiu's forehead and said, "We are called Taoist Companions, remember?" "Remember." Xiuxiu's face turned red from being pinched, and she nodded with a smile.
"Silly girl." Qu Ruyi smiled, then bowed, "Let everyone laugh."
"Xiuxiu is innocent and frank, and we like her very much." Seeing Yao Qianyuan about to speak, Gai Yingqiu immediately intercepted and said: "Just now, Xiuxiu said that she wanted to buy a flying sword. Let's ask my uncle to say a few words."
< br>
After saying that, the four women all looked at the old foundation-building cultivator.
The old monk who established the foundation had a gray beard, his eyes were closed, and there seemed to be pain on his old face. I don’t know if it’s because of old injuries or because of the quarrel between the four girls.
He opened his eyes, breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Xiuxiu.
"The flying sword is also a magical weapon, and it is mainly used for killing. Of course, it also has other uses, but that needs to be discussed separately." Old Zhuji spoke very slowly, and the pain on his face disappeared, and instead he became a little angry, "You If you want to find a flying sword for your own use, it is best to match your own skills and destiny. In this way, the person can increase the strength of the sword and the sword can be combined with each other to make it more powerful."
"Senior, I'm buying it for someone else," Xiu Xiu said.
"It's best to choose Feijian by yourself. If you want to give it away, it should be given by the elder to the younger one. The main reason is that it suits you." Old Ji Zhu thought for a while, looked at Xiuxiu, and asked: "What kind of skills does the person who gave it to me practice? What is the attribute of this life? What kind of flying sword does that person usually use?
Xiu Xiu was asked a lot of questions. She thought for a moment and answered honestly: "To tell you what the senior said, that person's destiny is the unknown mist. My master said it means boundless. The sword he usually uses... is an ordinary iron sword. .”
This is what Xiuxiu asked Qu Ruyi.
Lao Zhuji had seen a lot of the world, so he didn't say much and just looked at Qu Ruyi.
Yao Qianyuan and Gai Yingqiu also looked at Qu Ruyi.
Qu Ruyi sighed and looked away, signaling not to ask me. I also had a headache.
"In that case," Old Ji Zhuji said with a savvy smile and a gentle smile, "then just choose the one that suits your eyes the most. For monks like us, if you have a chance, it's extremely rare."
Xiuxiu suddenly heard the word "eye edge", her body trembled and she bit her lower lip, but she remained silent.
"Okay, this one is good." Qu Ruyi took Xiu Xiu's hand and said with a smile: "If he is not used to it, you can continue to use it to avoid wasting it."
Xiuxiu is the most frugal person. After hearing this, she immediately smiled and nodded, then quickly looked at the old cultivator and said, "May I ask, senior, how much is the spiritual stone of this Youtan Sword?"
Lao Zhuji didn't say anything, but Gai Yingqiu laughed like a silver bell and said, "Since Xiu Xiu likes it, just keep it."
Xiuxiu shook her head and said, "If you don't pay for shopping, the store will collapse sooner or later." She was very reasonable and serious.
"There is no reason for you to get the spirit stone when you are away from home." Qu Ruyi picked up the sword on the table, flicked the blade, and said: "The top-grade Youtan sword contains the meaning of water and the shadow of the sword, which has a hallucinogenic effect. It was cast from the shadow black stone under the hundred-foot-deep pool. It is worth a lot of money." She put the sword on the table again, took out five middle-grade spiritual stones and put them down, "Senior, two senior sisters, I know that you have good intentions. It's the first time Xiu goes on a long trip. If she doesn't pay, she will be scolded when she comes back." After saying this, he bowed.
Xiuxiu also quickly saluted.
Speaking of this, Lao Zhuji had nothing to say. He nodded and motioned for Gai Yingqiu to accept it.
Although the price of flying swords is relatively high for ordinary magic weapons, five middle-grade ones are still too much. Gai Yingqiu accepted it and didn't say much. She just thought that she would give him a bigger gift in two days.
Qu Ruyi also picked up the sword and handed it to Xiuxiu.
Xiuxiu took it, touched it, and then carefully put it away.
After buying the sword, Qu Ruyi didn't dare to keep it for fear that if Xiu Xiu wanted to buy it again, her own money would be drained.
After a few more polite words, Qu Ruyi pulled Xiuxiu downstairs.
"Xinyi Square is prosperous. I'll take the two junior sisters for a walk, which can be regarded as a guide." After going downstairs, Gai Yingqiu said with a smile, but Yao Qianyuan smiled and said nothing.
After hearing this, Qu Ruyi couldn't help but think of someone who had been her guide in the past. That woman always has a straight waist, white skin, and is very heroic, but she has no expression all day long.
"I dare not bother senior sister." Qu Ruyi politely refused, "Xiuxiu and I are not going far, we are just chatting with her. Please don't worry, sister."
When Gai Yingqiu saw what the other party said, she no longer forced herself. He just took out the token from his waist and let Qu Ruyi hang it, saying it would save him a lot of trouble.
Qu Ruyi naturally obeyed, hung the token on her waist, bowed again, and then pulled Xiuxiu towards the street.
He wore men's clothes and walked with Xiuxiu, like a brother taking care of his sister.
Xiuxiu hugged Qu Ruyi's arm and said, "Sister Ruyi, I will return it to you after I have saved up enough spiritual stones."
"Didn't you save the dowry book? I don't dare to touch it. If you can't get married in the future, don't you blame me?" Qu Ruyi laughed.
"It doesn't matter if you don't need a dowry..." Xiu Xiu blushed and sounded embarrassed.
Qu Ruyi flicked Xiuxiu's forehead and continued to laugh: "I have become a Taoist practitioner, but I still can't forget the ordinary things. Do you still want to have a child?"
"It's not easy to get pregnant after you enter Taoism..." Xiu Xiu actually touched her belly.
Qu Ruyi smiled helplessly. She knew that Xiuxiu could not change her mind for a while. After all, it was not like her who had been reciting Taoist scriptures since she was a child. She grew up in the ordinary world, and all she could think about was getting married and having children.
This is not a big problem. When you improve your cultivation in the future, get older and broaden your horizons, everything will be fine.
The two sisters wandered around the street, Xiu Xiu was dazzled, and began to think about buying something.
"Just buy whatever you want." Qu Ruyi saw Xiuxiu's intention and said with a smile: "But let's make an agreement first. I won't give you any spiritual stones. You can use your dowry book."
Xiuxiu was too embarrassed to say anything.
The two walked around, and Xiuxiu entered two larger shops. After asking about the prices of a few things, she asked Qu Ruyi to leave, and then went to look for small shops.
She always gets by.
The two of them headed southwest, where it was relatively cheaper and there were many casual cultivators.
Xiu Xiu visited several small shops, spent a long time choosing, and finally bought two hostas.
After buying the hosta, Xiuxiu relaxed. She held Qu Ruyi's arm and asked seriously: "Sister, please give me some ideas on what to buy."
"Didn't you just buy a hosta? What else do you want to buy? Are you going to spend all your hard-earned dowry money?" Qu Ruyi asked with a smile.
"I didn't buy it," Xiu Xiu said sternly and seriously, "It has to go to Senior Sister Wang, Senior Sister Ruan, Senior Sister Dao, Senior Sister Kang, Senior Brother Li, Senior Brother Sun, Senior Brother Qin..." She counted them with her fingers. "There are also Senior Uncle Poyunzi and Senior Uncle Gao. They also need to buy some for Master."
"Okay, okay!" Qu Ruyi smiled while stroking her hands, "They are senior brothers and sisters, and they are uncles and uncles, but there is no sister Qu." She scratched the tip of her nose, "In the past, I hurt some people in vain , so sad.”
Xiuxiu hugged Qu Ruyi's arm tightly, put her head on her arm, and said with a smile: "I bought it for you a long time ago." She took out the hosta and handed it to Qu Ruyi, "You like to wear men's clothes, and the hosta is the best for you."< br>
"You bought two hostas, and we both have exactly one." Qu Ruyi took it with satisfaction.
"I don't wear it." Xiu Xiu shook her head.
Qu Ruyi was stunned for a moment, then knew what she meant, and immediately reached out and pinched her cheek.
Half of Xiuxiu's face was pinched red again, but she was still very happy. "It's hard to go on a long journey, so I have to bring something to my senior brothers and sisters." She spoke confidently and looked mature, "This is called being human." < br>
Qu Ruyi laughed so hard, "Who did you learn it from?"
"Every time he comes back from a trip, he brings me a lot of things." Xiuxiu is very serious.
"This is not sophistication, he just... is just nice to you." Qu Ruyi smiled and flicked her forehead again, "Why don't you bring it to me? Why don't you bring it to Peining?"
"Indeed." Xiuxiu nodded thoughtfully.
"Listen to me," Qu Ruyi finally took on the appearance of a big sister, "After you build the foundation, give Uncle Po Yunzi and Master a gift. They love you the most. No one else needs to give it to them. The gift does not need to be precious. , as long as you have your heart.”
Xiuxiu nodded in agreement.
At this moment, the street in front suddenly became chaotic, the crowd dispersed, and a male cultivator was seen running over. The man was in his thirties, with a straightforward face, but his hair was messy, his face was sad, and his steps were staggering, as if he was delirious.
Qu Ruyi immediately pulled Xiuxiu to the side of the road and protected her behind her.
However, the male cultivator turned to a shop midway.
Qu Ruyi looked over and saw that the shop was a little worse than Tianchi Pavilion, but it was already quite big on this street.
It was called Fengming Pavilion. Qu Ruyi vaguely remembered that it seemed to be the property of the Zhu family.
I saw the male cultivator staggering into the shop, and soon a female cultivator came forward and grabbed the male cultivator's arm with both hands.
"Yu Yan, he..." The male cultivator's words were filled with sadness, but he couldn't form any words.
"What's wrong with Yuyan?" The female cultivator's eyes turned red immediately, "Didn't he go to look for the opportunity of Tianqi?" The female cultivator forced a smile, "Did he build the foundation and come back safely?"
"No," the male cultivator's body was trembling, "the soul lamp at home has gone out..."
When the female cultivator heard this, she collapsed on the ground and murmured: "Impossible, this is impossible..."
The rest of the guests in the shop gathered around, and everyone looked sad.
Then a faint spiritual force pressed down, the female cultivator fell unconscious and lost her voice, and the male cultivator staggered upstairs. Another Zhike sent customers away from the store and closed its doors.
There was a circle of casual cultivators outside the door. Some were happy when they saw someone in trouble, while others felt sad about the death of a rabbit or a fox.
"Sister Ruyi..." Although Xiuxiu has little experience, she is still knowledgeable. She knows that her family went out to look for opportunities to build a foundation due to bad weather, and died outside. "We who have entered the Tao are actually no different from ordinary people. We are very sad when a family member dies." She looked at Qu Ruyi.
Qu Ruyi nodded slightly and said: "Who can do it to end love and love?" She took Xiuxiu's hand, looked at the non-commercial cultivators outside Fengming Pavilion who were still talking endlessly, and said: "The ancestors said that Song Qing Before death, we should not lose our heart towards the Tao. Those of us who are still alive should hear about death and see life. ”
"Sister, you..." Xiuxiu's eyes widened, noticing the difference in Qu Ruyi.
"The apocalypse is mysterious, it's up to me to build the foundation." Qu Ruyi smiled, "I have arrived at the apocalypse." She squeezed Xiuxiu's hand, "Let's go find the ancestor."
Xiuxiu nodded immediately, feeling excited in her heart.
