Chapter 223 The Long River
The quiet room is silent.
Lin Bai sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and came to the stone plate.
The cracks on the stone plate are still there, like strange lines.
The outer mist has a moon-white color, with a slight hint of green, and stars are looming in the middle.
"Xiuxiu cares about me, and Aunt Gu protects me."
In the past, when practicing the flying knife method, the most important thing was to have a calm mind. Later, he practiced Ruyi Jingxin Jue, and calming the mind is also the top priority.
Nowadays, although I often rely on the Tiger Wolf Pills to calm my mind, there are actually very few things that can disturb my mind.
After sitting quietly for a while, my heart became calmer and calmer.
"The alchemy theory is to inherit the past and formulate it based on one's own experience, temperament, and fate. It is extremely important for the future."
After thinking for a while, the fog surged in my mind.
After a while, the mist gathered into a courtyard.
Dark clouds hung low, it was muggy and windless.
Lin Bai stood up, pushed the door open, and saw a person lying on the ground. A young man was squatting on the ground, wiping a knife on the dead body.
Soon, the young man held the hatchet upside down and entered the house. There is a woman on the bed with her body half-covered, showing off her coquettishness.
"It turns out that uncle likes this..." The woman was lying on the table and was about to make love when her throat was cut by the young man from behind.
The young man acted straightforwardly, and not a drop of blood was spilled on him from beginning to end.
Lin Bai continued to walk forward, and saw the mist dissipating and reuniting, revealing a vast mountain forest.
The moon and stars are sparse, and a middle-aged man with disheveled hair is leaning against a giant tree. His face is sad, but he is still heroic.
"The world is like a journey against the odds. I lament that life is short and useless after all..." The man raised his arms and stretched out his hands, as if he wanted to chase the bright moon in the sky, but his injuries were too serious and he could not do it.
Lin Bai stepped forward and came to a cave. I saw sunlight leaking through the gap above, and an old repairman's clothes were ragged and covered in scars.
His face flashed purple, like endless shackles. Two teenagers, a boy and a girl, were not far away. They were cautious and frightened by the near-death situation.
Soon, the old cultivator's fire of life burned out, and the wisp of purple also dissipated.
The old cultivator stepped forward, his withered face covered in blood.
"After all, the loess is a handful..." The old cultivator raised his head and stretched out his arms, looking at the sunlight falling on the top of the cave, as if he wanted to chase it.
Lin Bai waved his sleeves to disperse the fog, and it condensed again.
The flying snow has settled, the morning light is faint, the hunting wind sounds like a knife, and everything is fish and meat.
Outside the small house, there was a woman holding her sword and looking at the sky.
Lin Bai pushed open the house. The charcoal fire in the house was like purgatory, burning with endless death energy.
There was an old man on the bed in the house, and there was a red light on his withered face.
A young man sat by the bed with a serious face; a young girl sat by the bed with blank eyes.
The old man had a kind face and asked the boy and girl to step forward and feel his pulse.
"This is the death line."
There was nothing surprising about his last words, and he did not even explain the ownership of the inheritance.
After a long time, the old man leaned on the pillow, looked past the boy and girl, and stared blankly at the window, not knowing what he was thinking.
Only his eyes lost their light, became increasingly turbid, and his breath gradually became silent. The red glow on his face just now disappeared and turned into a dead gray color again.
Lin Bai looked at the girl's appearance for a while, then looked out the window.
The fog dispersed and gathered again, arriving at a mountainous area.
Corpses littered the ground, all mutilated.
An old man had a disheveled beard and blood spurting from his mouth and nose. He only looked at the girl in front of him and said: "Girl, if you don't want to bend down, then don't bend. Don't follow me. As soon as you bend down, haha, this spine will never be the same again." I can’t stand up straight.”
The scene moved again to an island.
There was a man with white hair and one arm, tears streaming down his face, and a smile on his face, "Hahaha! Lin Zhuanlun! I have obtained the best alchemy theory!"
There were dead people all around. The old man looked at the young man in front of him and kept laughing to himself. His white hair was scattered and he was crazy. His laughter turned into tears. He clenched his fist with one arm and punched the ground, as if he wanted to break the world. "How could it be like this? How could it be like this?"
When the endless pressure came, the man got down on the ground and crawled out of the palace, leaving behind a terrifying blood mark.
Lin Bai looked at Song Qing's appearance for a while, then waved his sleeves again.
It's dark and unbearable, it's a cave. This place is extremely messy. A man is lying down at the entrance of a cave, reaching forward as if to grasp the opportunity of the avenue.
The man's back was pierced by a long sword and spit out from his mouth. However, the person is not dead yet, his eyes are in the shape of amber, and amber rosin is flowing out of his seven orifices, as if he is submerging himself in amber, and then seeking life and living toward death.
Lin Bai bowed to Zhu Jianshui who was not far away, and then stepped forward.
In the mountain canyon, the pressure of the calamity cloud dispersed, and an old man fell from the stone arch.
A young girl knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. A young man in a white robe stood with his hands behind his back, looking quite free and easy.
The young man looked at the old man and said with a smile: "A man covered in bronze can die generously for others?" ”
"Erase the patina, wash away the lead, and still have a bit of innocence." The old man replied.
After a long time, the old man looked at the girl and said softly: "My whole life as a teacher, my body has been covered with patina and has been completely changed beyond recognition. I tried to use the lightning to cleanse it, but it was too late. Everything here happened because of me. When a person dies, the grudges will disappear." "You should strengthen yourself and love yourself, and don't follow my old path." He spoke softly and smiled kindly.
The scene shattered and turned into a lake with a small island and many people gathered there.
A girl of 12 or 12 years old was kneeling on the ground, and a young man was reciting verses, looking quite like a master.
After a while, the girl closed her eyes and crossed her legs, hoping for a chance to enter the Tao.
After a long time, the girl opened her eyes with tears in her eyes, "Master, my father is dead."
The sound of wind ruffled the lake water, reflecting the light of the stars.
A white-haired woman with a fierce face was half-kneeling on the ground, while Cailu was kneeling.
"My elixir theory has been completed long ago. I am just waiting for the opportunity to swallow the elixir into my belly. How can I die in the middle?"
There was blood flowing out of the seven orifices of the white-haired witch, as if she was in a crazy state. The hair moved with the wind, and the face suddenly aged and became young again, changing constantly, and finally returned to the appearance of a girl, but the white hair remained. Under the stars and moon, it becomes even more eerie.
"Heavens are reincarnated, burn lamps to continue the day!" The colorful deer howled in pain, the color on its body gradually faded, and the aura of the white-haired woman suddenly surged, and then returned to the pebbles.
The world turned again, and a tall tree appeared, hanging with countless stars.
"While I'm still young, touch my face so you can remember what I look like." The woman, with white hair, choked up.
The sound of the waves obliterated the woman's figure, and an old man was speechless. "I believe that drifting with the current, moving the body and keeping the mind calm is the elixir theory. However, it violates the original intention of the elixir theory and wants to forcefully change the destiny. It is destined to happen one day." The stone plate returned to calm, and the mist returned. , the stars are faint.
"Looking back at the past, old events reappear one by one. What I see and hear is just like yesterday."
Lin Bai sat down cross-legged, stretched out his palms, and looked closely at the palm prints.
Soon, the mist rolled endlessly, rushing in again, forming a line from a point, slowly gathering into a corner, and then a stone tablet appeared in the hand, just like the countless past events connected to one's life.
In an instant, an abyss seemed to appear on the stone tablet, just like the pebbled bluestone, and Lin Bai was included in it.
When I opened my eyes again, I saw the long river again.
Looking up, I don’t know where it started; looking down, I don’t know where it is going.
Countless dust fell, some as small as ants, and some as tall as mountains and rivers. However, they all fell into the long river and were lost in the blink of an eye.
There seemed to be something from the past in the river. Lin Bai wanted to take a closer look, but a wave rolled up and he was deeply involved.
Flooded and overwhelmed.
While struggling, Lin Bai suddenly realized that he was powerless, like a dead tree in his body, with white hair and dense wrinkles.
The long river was rushing, and Lin Bai saw scenes of the past again.
"Grandpa, we have to recruit an apprentice." Xiuxiu closed the door of Baicaotang and kept mumbling, "Find someone who can do the job. I think that person is not bad, so he should be okay."
"Didn't you say that he has a slippery tongue and a cunning nature, and he still wants to escape our debt?" Mr. Bai checked the medicine cabinets one by one under the candlelight, thinking about replenishing supplies.
"We've been together for a few days, and it's not bad, just a bit clumsy. When we went up the mountain to collect herbs, he talked about Xiuxiu's little master, and I didn't pay attention to him." Xiuxiu came to the counter, picked up the abacus, and started typing. She stood up and said, "Today I made two taels, I got three taels on credit, and my net loss was one tael... Oh." She sighed helplessly.
The heavy rain was pouring non-stop. Pei Ning was wearing black clothes and black hair, holding a long sword in his hand. "How many rich households are there in the city?" she asked Ren Qiaoyun who was waiting beside her with a smile.
"I know this!" Ren Qiaoyun immediately responded, talked for a long time, and then asked: "Do you want to buy grain for disaster relief? They are all old beetles and can't buy it at a cheap price."
"You can always lend me some good words and some great truths if you come to visit me." Pei Ning smiled lightly.
There is no cold wind in the pavilion, but there is a bit of warm spring feeling in the pavilion.
Song Qing sat on the stone bench and sighed, "Master is paranoid, and in the end it is me who suffers. The black turtle's destiny is to just watch the fire on the shore, why does it have to go into the water?"
He was extremely helpless, and a woman came forward, Yingying knelt down, and called her Immortal Master.
"Forget it, I'm going to be happy first!" Song Qing cleared away the gloom, "People say that the world of mortals refines the heart, and I want to imitate it, maybe I can understand the best elixir theory!"
Thousands of miles away, Pei Ning was on the flying boat. He looked back at the hatch. There was a couple inside. However, Pei Ning knew that the gap was too big, so he could only wait quietly with his fists clenched.
In a quiet room, Zhu Yuling rubbed Zhu Jianyang's back and said: "People's hearts are always at odds with each other. Even if they don't become merciless, what if we worked so hard to raise him and then leave him? Or what if he leaves in the future? Or If we join another family, our ancestor is gone, can we still come to ask for help?”
Zhu Jianyang was relaxed and indifferent, and said with a smile: "If this is really the case, then we can just pretend that we don't know him. But from my point of view, he really regards me as a senior. He thinks of us well. It’s fine, there’s no need to pressure others with favors, otherwise the gains will outweigh the losses.”
Zhu Yuling was obviously worried and asked: "How will I treat him in the future?"
"Just keep it the same as before. Silly boy, don't forget what we thought when we first met him, just to form a good relationship. Why are you thinking more and more now?" Zhu Jianyang was extremely open-minded.
The long river rushed and swept away the two of them, only to see another pretty figure.
"You heard me right, this medicine will definitely work! It was given to me by a disciple from the Tianchi Sect!" Jiang Xiaobai looked at the one-year-old female cultivator, his face becoming more and more confident, "Do you know that there is a man named Yun in the cave in the courtyard behind? He said My husband left him because he was not good at what he did. When he came to me, I rewarded him with the prescription of Hulang Pills. Now he is very prosperous and wants to go to Longmenfang to be happy! "
"This... your family has very strict rules, is everything okay?" the old female cultivator asked in a low voice.
"Don't worry, I'll do the work!" Jiang Xiaobai patted her chest hard.
The long river rolled and came to a street.
The place in front of Fengming Pavilion is in a mess, and you can hear the screams.
"We who have entered the Tao are actually no different from ordinary people. We are very sad when our family members die." Xiuxiu sighed after seeing the difference between life and death.
"Who can do it?" Qu Ruyi took Xiuxiu's hand and said seriously: "The ancestor said that Song Qing did not lose his heart to the Tao before his death. Those of us who are still alive should hear this. Death brings life. ”
The long river moved forward without stopping for a moment for that person.
"Go, go!" Huang Ruhua scolded the monkey with a stern face, holding a big wine jar in her hand, picking wine from the tree hole, "Let's order some wine to see how stingy you are!" She muttered, but her face was open. Drinking happily, "Pick peach blossoms again to exchange for wine money, hehehe."
After finishing the drink, she went to teach the monkeys with their hands on their hips to see who had injuries and treat them. "You are a monkey, but you still fight all day long, and you are not like a monkey!"
On the high branch of the tree, there was a man in white clothes lying down, drinking wine without even looking at Huang Ruhua.
The fishy wind on the island is quite a sight for spring.
"After all, the fairy came from Qiaoshan, and she is very close to us. She is afraid that we will be tired, so let us have a good rest first." Gu Jiuzhong sighed.
"The fairy comes from my family! You should treat me well!" Yang Shaoan said proudly.
The two happily entered the courtyard and were still discussing how to invite Fairy Shen Yu to return to Qiaoshan.
A wave surges, and mountains and forests appear again.
"My formation is foolproof!" Gu Yao looked at Zhu Jianyang with great confidence and said: "Old Zhu! You believe me!"
When Zhu Jianyang saw this, he could only nod his head and said: "I hope it will go smoothly and get the great opportunity of Fairy Shen Yu as soon as possible."
"That's for sure! I've seen Fairy Shen Yu! She always goes to play with the ancestor, and I even hugged her!" Gu Yao was very confident. She pointed forward, "Look, a monster is coming! It's a silly peacock ! ”
After another turn, I saw the full moon in the sky, reflected on the deep pool.
The breeze ruffled the pond water, and the moon's shadow rippled. A young girl stepped up and wanted to sit on the stone slab in the middle of the deep pool, but she fell down.
The girl couldn't even break free and was only sucked into the pool. The shadow of the bright moon was reflected in her eyes, but she still stretched out her hand, as if she wanted to catch the bright moon above the deep pool.
The waves rolled again, and I saw only a hazy place.
"Brother Xiang, you have made progress again." A virtual figure said with a smile.
"The road is thousands of miles long, but I just took a small step. If I want to reach the other side, I don't know how many joints there are." The old man with black and white hair sighed, "Gu Qingshan yesterday, there will be no return tomorrow."
The wood demon was silent for a long time.
The waves swept away from the blessed land of Immortal Bridge and reached a damp and dark place.
"Li Xinghe! Li Wuya!" A white-haired female cultivator shouted ferociously, "Let me out!"
After each scene, it was all something I had never seen with my own eyes.
Lin Bai sank into the river and felt something in his heart.
The stone disk looms and the stars shine. The long river is rolling, pushing the stone plate, as if reversing time, the white hair is gradually gone, the wrinkles are gone, and the youthful appearance is restored.
"Brother Song, I have learned the theory of elixirs." Lin Bai stood up, and the mist condensed in front of him, revealing the appearance of Song Qing.
This chapter was just posted to the previous volume, my fault.
