Chapter 657: Three Visits to Panlong Sect
After the two entered Lingtian territory, Zhao Qing deliberately avoided crowds and often traveled in the mountains because there was not much money left. [6] [9] [s] [h] [u] [x] [.] [c] [o] [m] At noon that day, Li Changxiao looked at a green river in the distance. The river was winding and emaciated. Surging, he asked Zhao Qing what river this was.
Zhao Qing told Li Changxiao that this river is called "Longzhao River". She smiled leisurely and told Li Changxiao that this river is a tributary of the Qulong River. If you ride down the river, you can enter the Qulong River and then follow the Qulong River. After leaving Longjiang, you can see the Panlong Sect again.
Hearing her mention "Panlong Sect", Li Changxiao suddenly became interested and inevitably visited his old place again. Zhao Qing readily agreed, and the two of them headed straight from Longzhao River to Qulong River.
The boat in the river was swaying gently, the water was quiet, the trees were green, and the scenery remained the same. Although Lingtian was in chaos at the time, Qulongjiang was located in a remote area, so it was less affected.
But despite this, there are still many deserters in the deep mountains who have turned into bandits. People sailing on the boats are frightened, fearing that they will encounter bandit ships and be robbed to the mountains. This situation is a legacy of historical accumulation and will be difficult to change.
The Qulong River was the river of the Lingtian Dynasty. Even though Zhao Qing had lost his mind, she still had a unique feeling in her heart when she was crossing the river by boat. She waved her hand and saw how fast the fruit in the river was. She pressed her hand and the river slowly began to flow again. calm.
The method is quite miraculous. Li Changxiao can only control one or two with his spiritual energy, but Zhao Qing can only rely on his mind. Why this happened, she couldn't figure out. There is a ferry in the Qulong River. Li Changxiao recalled that he had boarded a boat at this ferry hundreds of years ago, and his feelings were very different: "I visited the old place again, and I don't know where I am now."
He stopped the boat at the ferry, got off the ground, and walked along the winding path deep into the mountains. Zhao Qingqi said: "Panlong Sect is not here, can you come over?"
Li Chang smiled and said: "I once made a few friends in the river. I think they are gone now, but since I am here, I should always take a look."
He said it unintentionally, but listened intentionally. Zhao Qing thought of himself and knew that he would eventually turn into loess. At that time, maybe there would be a man in white clothes in his little monument, holding a jar of wine, drinking with him, and saying something. What’s new recently, let’s talk about old things from the past.
Thinking like this, she feels happy and sad at the same time. It is often said that the dead are liberated and the living suffer. Before her master died, she thought it was exactly the opposite. It was clear that the living were free and unrestrained, and the dead died when they died. But after her master's death, every time she visited the cemetery, she couldn't help but feel sad. When she thought about her long journey, she would not be with her master, and there would be no such person in the world, and she felt that the feeling was endless.
She gave up the seven emotions and cut off the six desires then, let alone now. She suddenly thought that when Li Changxiao went to his tombstone in the future, he would be alone without a friend, how lonely he would be, and she could not help but shed tears for him.
He touched the money bag at his waist again. How long could he hide the last small piece of gold? Zhao Qing's thoughts surged, and he didn't know where he was thinking. He just thought that God is really hateful. Finally, he sighed and kept it in his heart.
Li Changxiao's destination here was Niujia Village. He still remembered the father and son Niu Da and Niu Xiao in that village. He knew that it would be difficult to see each other again, but if he had descendants, he might be able to see them through them. Seeing some charm from the predecessors, this is enough.
Niujia Village is still there, but it has changed a lot and its scale has become much larger. The villagers found it strange that the handsome man and woman who looked like gods came to visit, and they all paid close attention to observe.
Li Changxiao walked slowly in the village, only to see that the old residence of Niu Da and Niu Xiao had long since collapsed into ruins. At this time, gongs and drums were beating in the distance, and a groom wearing a red robe and riding a donkey was rushing towards a girl's home.
Li Changxiao did not bother, but watched from a distance. When he saw that the groom was similar to Niu Da and Niu Xiao, he already knew that he must be a descendant of the Niu family.
He stood far away from the wedding ceremony and watched quietly. Zhao Qing stood beside her and watched quietly. Look at the descendants of the Niu family picking up the bride and carrying her on their backs...the sound of firecrackers is everywhere, the hecklers and onlookers...it's really lively.
Zhao Qing asked about the relationship between Li Changxiao and the Niu family. Li Changxiao came one by one and told Zhao Qing that the relationship was not really deep, it was just that Niu Dacheng gave him a ride, and Niu Xiao also gave him a ride, that's all.
Zhao Qing said with a smile: "If Niu Da and Niu Xiao knew that the immortals they once carried would still come to visit their descendants after hundreds of years, they would definitely laugh from ear to ear."
She thought in her heart: "He treats big cows and small cows like this. If it were me..." She really didn't know whether this was happiness or sadness, or a mixture of both.
The two of them just watched like this, from early morning to dusk, from bustling to the end, until Zhao Qing finally felt that his feet were weak and it was time to rest, so Li Changxiao thought of leaving.
After the two left, the descendants of the Niu family suddenly looked outside the house and frowned. The newly married daughter-in-law asked, "Ms. sir, what's wrong?" A descendant of the Niu family said, "It's nothing, I just... feel like someone is watching us."
The daughter-in-law smiled and said, "Look at us? We are getting married today, and there are so many people watching us." The descendants of the Niu family shook their heads, "It's different, the looks are different."
But how it was different, he couldn't tell. The moon was high in the sky at this moment, and the moonlight was shining lightly. Li Changxiao had never left any footprints wherever he had been.
He was always like this, silently staring at old friends' stories, and then quietly leaving. No one knew he had been there, but he had indeed been here.
…
The two of them took a boat together, sailed down the Qulong River, and came to the old site of Panlong Sect. The Panlong Sect was established between the green mountains on both sides of the bank. Zhao Qing was flying over it and felt that the layout of the Panlong Sect was like a dragon on a mountain. It was novel and somewhat unique, so he took a second look.
It was those two eyes that foreshadowed many disputes later. Li Changxiao visited Panlong Sect for the third time, and Zhao Qing visited Panlong Sect for the second time. Zhao Qing was surprised and said, "This path is wide, it doesn't look abandoned for hundreds of years." Li Changxiao said, "I'm afraid there are bandits occupying the sect."
When the two arrived at the old site of Panlong Sect, the building that had been abandoned for a hundred years was indeed occupied by a group of bandits and used as a gathering place for bandits.
The former great sect was first abandoned, and now it has become a bandit stronghold, which is unavoidable. Zhao Qing suddenly smiled, with a hint of self-mockery, "It can be said that it is the right person to live with."
The meaning of the words is that cultivators are also a kind of bandits to a certain extent. But she was mostly self-deprecating and joking, not really looking down on cultivators.
