He Came From The Forbidden Land, Waving His Sleeves To Write About Immortality

"How about it? Do you understand?"

Lu Yuan didn't know when he had arrived beside the girl.

The girl who was immersed in the bamboo slips didn't come back to her senses until this moment.

She glanced at the master, raised the bamboo slip in her hand, and said: "When they grew, the sun was strong and the rain and dew were abundant. When they died, they were in their prime. They were dried out by the sun, and then they were painted with these black thing."

Lu Yuan took the bamboo slip from her hand and slowly unfolded it. The black thing in the girl's mouth was the master's handwriting.

The girl was illiterate because Lu Yuan had never taught her.

Let her read, and in the end, she can only gain sympathy for the bamboo slips.

"This thing is a bamboo slip. Cut bamboo and dry it, string it with threads, write Chinese characters on it, and it will become a book."

Lu Yuan explained to the girl again.

The girl frowned.

"The bamboo is growing well, so why cut it down?"

"Necessary for the education of mortals."

"But this is too cruel!"

"Whether it is the book in my hand or the tea I just drank, they are different from the vegetation in the mountains. They have no intelligence and do not know what cruelty is."

"They just can't talk!"

The girl was very stubborn, and Lu Yuan said nothing.

There are many things girls never need to understand around him.

She doesn't need to understand whether people want to eat, or why people need education, or the sinister nature of people's hearts, or natural selection.

She could live her whole life without fighting against the world and live under Lu Yuan's wings.

Everything in her eyes can be beautiful.

It's just that this kind of beauty is incompatible with the world.

Outsiders would just think she was ridiculously innocent.

With more contact with people in the world, her innocence will no longer exist.

Because human nature is evil.

The omnipresent malice will eventually tear this innocence to pieces.

She may continue to be kind, but she will never be as simple and pure as she is now.

Lu Yuan didn't care whether she could keep her innocence, so he asked her if she wanted to understand the world.

However, her father was not willing.

The master walked up to the girl with a smile on his face and stopped two steps away.

"Yes! It is indeed too cruel to cut down bamboo to create a book. We will replace it with this land in the future."

The girl nodded in approval, but her body leaned closer to Lu Yuan due to the arrival of the master.

She wasn't used to being too close to others.

The Master's smile remained unchanged, but a look of disappointment flashed across his slightly cloudy eyes.

Lu Yuan saw everything in his eyes and asked the girl: "I have never taught you how to read, why don't you just follow the master to read and read?"

"Ah?" The girl's beautiful eyes were full of nervousness. She grabbed Lu Yuan's sleeve with her small hands and said in a panic: "Master, are you going to leave me?"

Perhaps some of the words were too harsh, so the master lowered his head slightly, his eyes slightly red.

Lu Yuan slowly pulled his sleeves away from her tightly clenched hands and said, "I'll stay here too, and we'll leave together after a while."

Seeing that her master had no intention of abandoning her, the girl's expression instantly relaxed.

"How long will you stay?"

She has not forgotten what happened to her senior sister, and she needs to cultivate and break through as soon as possible.

Lu Yuan looked at his middle-aged wife, who was already aging, and calmly replied, "It won't be long."

"Oh well."

The girl was a little reluctant, but she rarely stopped talking to her master.

The last time I was disobedient was when my master told me that I didn’t want anyone to accompany me.

The master quietly turned his head, avoiding the eyes of the two and wiping away the moisture from the corners of his eyes.

Then he said to the girl with a smile on his face: "Then let's start now? Do you have any words you want to learn?"

"What character do you want to learn?" The girl thought for a while and then said excitedly: "Master! I want to learn the character master!"

"Master?"

The Master was stunned at first, and then suddenly became aware. For the girl, the most important thing was indeed these two words.

He looked at Lu Yuan, who had a calm expression, and without saying anything, turned to the girl and said softly: "Come with me."

The other party didn't like the bamboo slips, so naturally he couldn't use pen and ink, so writing on the ground with his fingertips was naturally the best choice.

The girl looked at the master hesitantly, but the latter just said softly: "Go."

The girl left with reluctant steps, looking back at Lu Yuan from time to time.

Lu Yuan did not follow. He found the firewood, lit the firewood, and put the already slightly cool teapot on it. After a while, it started to steam.

He sat alone in this dilapidated house, looking at the meaningless scenery outside the window, thinking to himself.

Whether he was born or entered the world, his life has always been monotonous, so monotonous that he can't feel the slightest loneliness.

Even though he drank tea again after many, many years, there was no emotion in his heart.

Without emotional support, all that is left is choice.

If one day he forgets his choice, he will be a real walking dead.

This is the longevity that everyone in the world wants.

"Master! Master!"

A soft female voice full of excitement brought Lu Yuan's gradually quiet consciousness back to reality.

The fragrant breeze hit him, and the girl's graceful figure completely filled his sight.

"What's the matter?"

"I learned it! I learned how to write the word master!"

The girl was rarely as happy as she was today, and even her voice seemed to be stained with honey.

She pulled Lu Yuan's sleeves and walked out, wanting Master to see her achievements.

But Lu Yuan didn't move at all and pulled back his sleeves.

He sprinkled the water in the cup on the table and said, "Just write it here."

"This is not the earth, how to write it?"

Lu Yuan dipped his fingertips in water and drew a horizontal line on the table.

"like this."

"Huh?"

The girl's face was full of surprise, she stretched out her crystal jade fingers, dipped some tea in them, and tried to write.

Not long after, the tea formed a crooked word 'Master' on her fingertips.

"Master, look!"

The girl's beautiful eyes were shining brightly, and she looked at Lu Yuan expectantly.

"The wording is not wrong, it's just a bit ugly." Lu Yuan gave a fair evaluation.

"Huh? There is a difference between beautiful and ugly words?"

"some."

"Then I will learn from Master! I must write beautifully!"

After saying that, the girl ran out happily like a gust of wind.

It took me a long time to learn this.

It wasn't until the bright moon rose and the sky was filled with stars that Lu Yuan slowly came to the girl's side.

The word 'Master' is densely written on the ground under the moonlight.

Only a few words are from the master, and the rest belong to the girl.

It can be seen that she is very attentive and her handwriting has improved a lot.

The girl was still squatting on the ground and writing carefully, while the master beside her gently corrected her shortcomings.

As the day passed, there was still a step of distance between the two.

Lu Yuan said to the girl who was still writing seriously: "It's late at night, Master, it's time to go to bed."

The girl looked up at the night sky with some confusion.

"sleep?"

"Master, if you have never practiced cultivation, you should practice as the sun rises and rest as the sun sets in."

Lu Yuan took the trouble to explain slowly to the girl who didn't understand anything.

The master smiled and shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter, I'm happy today."

It can be seen that he is really happy.

Even if he didn't recognize his daughter, just teaching her to write side by side was enough to satisfy him.

"I'm going to have a rest. Won't you arrange a guest room for me?"

Lu Yuan's words reminded the master, who patted his forehead and stood up.

"It was my oversight. I will clean up two rooms for you right away."

This is the school and the master’s home.

Although it is simple, two rooms can still be freed up.

Because he lived alone all year round, there were a lot of clutter in the room. My wife was not in good health. Soon she was sweating profusely and her steps were sluggish.

Lu Yuan just watched and did not go up to help.

However, the girl who had been practicing calligraphy seriously realized something was wrong. She asked the master with some doubts: "Why is Master so weak?"

"Most mortals are like that."

"He seemed to be dying."

"Can't bear it?"

"All living things will die. This is the way of heaven. This is what you told me, Master."

"Um."

"But he might die faster this way."

"You can go help him."

So the girl stood up and walked towards the Master, waving her hand and all the debris instantly rose into the air.

"Where should I put these things?" she asked the master softly.

The master looked at these old objects with emotion. These were the memories of his lonely first half of life, and they also contained memories that the girl had long forgotten.

"It's all useless, just throw it away."

The girl hesitated a little when she heard this. She looked at the calm master at a loss, and finally piled up all the items in a corner of the school.

"You seem to be reluctant to part with them. It's better not to throw them away."

The master was startled, his eyes warmed slightly as he looked at the girl's immature and perfect face.

"That's fine, that's fine."

…

Late at night, a pure white figure came to Lu Yuan's room with light steps.

Lu Yuan did not fall asleep because he did not need to.

He just stood quietly in front of the window, watching the shadows of the trees swaying in the wind under the moonlight.

Seeing the girl arriving, he said in a calm voice: "What are you doing here?"

The girl came to Lu Yuan, stood side by side with him, glanced at his profile secretly, and then said softly: "Master is not around, I am not used to it."

"You have to get used to separation."

"Master, are you going to leave me?"

"Won't."

"Then I don't have to get used to separation. I want to be with Master all the time."

The ignorant girl did not know at this time that she was about to face the most important parting in the first half of her life.

Lu Yuan didn't say much, and stood quietly by the window, his calm eyes reflecting the changing stars.

The girl stood side by side with him and stopped talking.

Master often stood like this for a long time without showing any emotion.

And she often stood side by side next to her master like this, facing the fragrance of grass and trees brought by the breeze, listening to the rhythmic chirping of unknown insects, occasionally quietly turning her eyes to look at the side of her master's face, without thinking about anything.

She loves this atmosphere.
