I am immortal

Chapter 113 Qi Wuhuo, this is the way to go!

The voice fell, but there was no answer. The young prince walked forward cautiously. The room was quite quiet and clean. There was only a bed, a table, a piano, and a bookshelf. There were many scattered fragments of writing. And a girl, about sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing silk, with clear eyebrows, big and soft eyes, especially black pupils, was picking up a piece of chess and looking at the end game. She was quiet for a long time, but she still couldn't make a move.

His voice was clear but not cold, and he just said:

"I came back a little late."

"Did you meet those two Taoists from the Yang Yang Temple?"

The young prince smiled and said, "Yes, sister, you are really good at predicting things."

"It's just like what you said, sister!"

"Those two also saw the changes in the city, so they went to sprinkle realgar water everywhere in the city. It's just that it's very powerful. They didn't use realgar water today, but brought some medicine to dispel cold and strengthen the qi to help the people. Well, speaking of it, I really didn’t expect that in this Zhongzhou territory, there are other people who have the same judgment as you, sister.”

"That little Taoist priest is also very interesting."

"We were chatting happily for a while, but now it's too late."

The girl's face remained calm, and she simply replied:

"It's a good thing."

The young man watched her play chess. He had also learned music, chess, calligraphy and painting since he was a child. He recognized that this was a famous story about the trapped dragon. From this chess game, he could know that she was still worried about their current situation, so he hesitated. After a long time, he still said:

"Sister, why... my father has passed away from illness. We finally left the capital. We should have bided our time and did nothing. Now, sister you are opening a porridge shed to contact the city officials and ask them to sprinkle realgar water. "

"I know that sister, you are doing this to seek a [virtuous reputation], so that you can gain [people's support] and the approval of the Qing Party."

"But what's the use now?"

"It will only make my second uncle determined to kill us."

Qiong Yu considered the chess game and asked, "Do you think it's to seek fame and win people's hearts?"

The young prince asked: "Isn't it?"

The girl didn't answer. After making a move, the chess game finally moved from [Trapped Dragon] to [Slaying Dragon], so she sighed, stood up and said, "I'll close the chess game." The young prince sat on his knees obediently, and then stretched out his hand. Clean up the chess game, put away the black and white chess pieces, and put them back into the chess basket.

Qiong Yu coughed several times and seemed to be in particularly bad health. She sat next to the heater and answered the question from the young prince just now:

"Of course it's not because of the reputation."

"It's just to save people."

"You are making the problem complicated."

The young prince was stunned: "Huh?"

Qiong Yu said: "As you said, if we go too far, we may attract the murderous intention of my second uncle; but if we don't do it, many people will suffer from disasters and suffer from cold winter this time. We just It's just taking some risks, but these people are really at risk of getting sick or even dying."

"Now that you have seen this and have the opportunity to change everything, why not do it?"

"The immortal way values life, and the same goes for humanity."

"At the end of the day, everything is not upright. Even if there is a chance to take off in the future, I will only look out for myself."

The girl looked at her younger brother. She seemed to be still unconvinced when she saw him. She wanted to say something like "A rich man cannot sit down in the hall", but she asked calmly and said:

"Besides, do you think that if we behave better, my second uncle will let us go?"

So the young prince lost his temper.

The girl stretched out her hand to get the hairpin and fiddled with the animal-headed incense burner next to her. Her wrists were as white as frost and snow, and her fingers were especially long and slender.

For a moment, there were only faint sounds in the room.

The young prince was quiet for a while, somewhat unconvinced, and said, "These are the words."

"Did that Master Qi say what he said when you were talking to him in the dream again?"

The girl replied: "Not only listen, but also see and think."

"He told me, and I saw what he did, and I'm thinking about it too."

"Then I believed what he said."

"The ancients said that listening to one side will lead to darkness, and listening to both will lead to enlightenment. In fact, this is also wrong."

"If you don't see and experience everything with your own eyes, you won't understand it anyway."

The young prince puffed up his chest and said confidently, "If you just listen, you will be in trouble. Then can I not study?"

Qiongyu replied succinctly: "No."

The young prince slumped down and held his chin in a daze for a long time. He really didn't want to read a book. Compared with reading a book, it was really a wonderful enjoyment to think about it in a daze. Finally, he suddenly asked something that had been squeezed in his heart for a long time. question, and said: "So, sister, do you want to find that Master Qi? Is it because he is a great talent, so you want to be your subordinate?"

Qiong Yu put down the hairpin in her hand.

He picked up a pen on the table and hit the young man's forehead with a crisp sound. Then he put down the pen and said:

"Wrong again."

"A great tool is free of charge."

"All the great talents in the world are proud. It is a great blessing to be friends with them."

"Who can control them? Don't think so."

Her voice was a little stern. When she saw her brother agreeing, she nodded, paused, and replied:

"I looked for him just because I had just woken up from the dream at that time. He was the only thing I could remember clearly. It was really a nightmare experience... It took me many days to figure it out. Clearly, what is a dream and what is reality, whether I saw the mountain god Qiongyu in my dream, or whether the mountain god Qiongyu dreamed of myself as a boy before she fell."

"While I was still in a daze, I was faced with the death of my father and my younger brother falling into the lake."

"Originally, I was poisoned next."

"I had no choice but to try and do it."

The young prince fell silent.

It was a really difficult time.

Because the sister predicted it in advance, the brother was saved from falling into the lake and dying.

After that, under the orders of his sister, they spent more than half a year and escaped from the imperial city with the help of the Cui family. Over the past year, he watched with his own eyes as his sister gradually changed from a laughing and playful character to a He has a quiet and reserved look, and most of the time he just stares at the fallen leaves outside the window calmly with his eyes.

When leaving the capital, she sighed, pointed at the ordinary mountain, and said, "I really want to go to Dingyan Peak again."

"Fuqin watches the fallen leaves flying into the flowing water."

"Too bad, it can't happen anymore."

At that time, he was not able to understand his sister's mood, but now he seems to be able to understand it a little better.

Qiong Yu said: "As for me looking for Mr. Qi, it's just because most of my dreams are blurry, but things related to him are particularly clear."

"If you can find it, you will know that the dream is not a dream."

"A small dream within a dream, a big dream in life."

"When a person walks through the world, he is like walking in a big dream, it just happens all of a sudden."

The young prince was confused after hearing this, and asked curiously: "Then why don't you look for me again?"

"Do you know that he was just in a dream?"

"No, I just know what he is doing, so I know that searching for his hometown will definitely not find him."

"That's why I stopped."

Qiongyu replied:

"It seems that because of the past, he has always wanted to figure out some things in his dream, and he also wants to do a lot of things for the people. He has a peaceful life, and if he doesn't get married, he will not be disturbed by wealthy families and aristocratic families. As he said, Only those who have no father, no mother, no wife, no children, can boldly do something.”

"If you are an official in the capital and are dragged into their rules by a wealthy family, then you should simply give up your noble status and go out to be an official and do practical things for the people of the place."

“The road to civil service is checked and balanced.”

"Then become a military attache and conquer the demon kingdom."

"The gentleman who was sent down went to teach. When he had nothing to do, he was locked up and wrote books and biographies."

The rich and noble young prince held his chin, looked at his sister, and talked about the young man in the dream from her perspective.

From these words, it seemed as if I really saw such a straight-backed young man walking step by step in the world of mortals.

Watch him grow from a young scholar to a young official, then become a general and prime minister, and finally grow old.

Suddenly he sighed and asked: "Speaking of which, sister, the Qi Fuzi in your mouth, has he accomplished what he wanted to do?"

Qiong Yu shook her head:

"No, it seems that due to the limitation of that dream, he failed to figure out what he wanted to know."

The young prince was surprised and asked: "What about your wish to do something for the people?"

"Not even."

"In the end, he was 'set up' by his fame and could no longer do anything. He became a decoration for singing and dancing in the court."

The prince wondered: "The one who stopped him was..."

His voice paused, and he suddenly understood.

The only person standing in front of him can be the emperor.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally just said: "He can't avoid this road."

"It's a pity Master Qi."

"So, does sister think he has given up?"

"It's good to be free from now on."

The young prince saw his sister looking at him with regret and pity, as if she were looking at an idiot, and said:

"Wrong again."

Her sleeves were hanging down, and in her tone she trusted her friend as much as she trusted herself, saying:

"give up?"

"No, he has never given up along the way. If a Beijing official cannot do something, he will go to other places. If a civilian official cannot do something, he will become a military attache. If an official cannot do something, he will resign to do it."

"With his character, when he found that he couldn't do what he wanted to do by becoming an official."

"It'll just be another way."

"If he is as I expected, he will have already embarked on the path of spiritual practice."

"He will investigate what he wants to know and save those people who are worth saving."

"In this case, the years are long and the road is difficult. Neither he nor I will give up easily. As long as we don't die, we will meet again on the road one day, so why bother looking for it now?"

The light of the incense burner was slightly reflected in the girl's eyes. She suddenly asked: "Well, so, I'm here to test you. What can you know from the Master's experience? What can you gain? And this time My purpose of saving people? If Master Qi also remembers how things would have happened in the dream, he can write an article about it."

"Let me see your progress."

The young prince's expression slowly froze.

ah? ? !

The girl lowered her eyes calmly and said, "Go read a book."

"An hour."

"ah?"

"Two hours."

"Ah, good, good!"

So the young prince left honestly. Qiongyu did not use the incense chopsticks nearby, and casually pulled out a hairpin from her hairpin. She gently poked the snow-like frosty ash with the wooden hairpin in her hand, and unconsciously touched the delicate charcoal-burned hairpin. Many small holes were poked out in the ashes, reaching directly to the fine charcoal that was buried. The flame that was about to go out suddenly came to life again, and warmth flowed out.

One end of the wooden hairpin was burnt and turned red, exuding a woody fragrance.

The girl suddenly smiled.

When she stood up, she turned around and her skirt swayed like a lotus blossom.

She only held the wooden hairpin and wrote words with the burnt red end.

Completed in one go——

"Your heart is as strong as iron, and you can mend the cracks in the sky."

The girl smiled slightly, looked at her brushwork, then threw down the wooden hairpin, and her black hair fell down like a waterfall.

Regardless of the slight traces of charcoal on the white sleeves, he just said calmly:

"Qi Wuhuo."

"As it is."

……………………

After Qi Wuhuo's peacock egg hatched, he ate and drank enough and fell asleep directly.

The young Taoist put it in the secret pocket inside his sleeve robe and walked for a day, but before he woke up, the young Taoist brought some meat porridge to his master. The old Taoist thanked him with a smile and touched the young Taoist. Then he pointed at the wet Taoist robe that was stained by the rain and dirty water, pulled out an old bamboo pole and said, "Is the little Taoist's buttocks itchy?"

"Do you know that my bamboo sticks are strong?"

"Do you want to try my 'Stir-fried Shredded Pork with Bamboo Strips' using butt meat?"

The young Taoist was listening. Not far away, the old Taoist just took a bamboo stick and touched the little Taoist Mingxin's palm a few times, neither lightly nor hard. Then he took the little Taoist and told him what to do and how to do it. It doesn't matter if the clothes are dirty, but what if you catch a cold? A rather nagging voice.

Qi Wuhuo thought of his past experiences.

Parents, sir, teachers.

In the distance was the sound of old Taoist priests warning.

The young Taoist priest inside the sutra building was staring at the nearly full moon in a daze, thinking that his parents had scolded him before, and that he would also play in water when he was a child. Usually his father would have a dark face, and his mother would be by his side. He tried to persuade him, but he was still very angry before, but when his father tried to beat him, his mother suddenly became anxious and started to get angry at him, but when she became anxious, she often said——

Be gentle and don't hurt the child.

Oh, get out of the way, clumsy, get out of the way, I'll fight.

Thinking of his mother's anxious and angry look at that time, the young man suddenly burst into laughter.

Then the smile stopped, slowly disappeared, and he was in a daze.

Listen to the chatter in the distance.

I don't know why I feel a little uncomfortable.

Actually only a little bit, really only a little bit.

Lying down on the table.

Bury yourself in your arms and stay quiet.

Ah, the moonlight is so beautiful... It's time for the full moon,

It's time for reunion.

Qi Wuhuo thought.
