Chapter 1248 Different Choices in Life

Liu Qinghuan can decide not to hold the Lingxu Ceremony, and he can not meet those people who come to please Yan Yan, but he has to give face to some people and some forces, such as the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance, such as Taihao Dao, one of the Three Extremes of Qingming. respect.

But before going to Qingming, he had to go to a place and meet someone.

Sao Feng Continent, Qingqiu Valley.

Once upon a time, the beautiful Qingqiu Valley was destroyed by the Yin Yue Blood Realm monks who invaded the Sao Feng Continent during the Seal War. The owner of the valley, Le Penghua, died in the battle, and all his disciples were scattered, leaving only a sad place.

Nowadays, Qingqiu Valley has restored its original scenery, and Feiquan Waterfall and Xiaoqiao Jingge are still in their original positions. However, everything here is the same as before, but it increasingly reveals the unforgettable sadness and loneliness of the owner of this place. Even though the red maples all over the mountain are as passionate as fire, they cannot conceal the desolation and desolation.

Liu Qinghuan silently stared at the woman sitting opposite, and after a while he sighed softly: "Lele, why are you doing this..."

Lele, whom she hadn't seen for many years, was sitting behind the harp, with a calm look on her face, but her hair was full of white hair. Although her face had not faded away, it was no longer as beautiful as before. Looking back on the first time we met, that quirky girl always had countless tricks to make people laugh, and she always had a cunning and bright smile on her face. However, this smile eventually disappeared without a trace amid the ordeal.

"You have been suffering for so many years, but you still can't let it go?" Liu Qinghuan sighed again. He had long wanted to see Lele, but he had been unable to get away. It was only today that he realized that his friend had grown old and left. The end of life is not far away.

Lele looked up, her eyes were a little cloudy, and she chuckled: "You left important things behind and came to see me just to ask this question? Then your question is in vain. The self-pain in your eyes may not be mine. It’s as sweet as sugar.”

Liu Qinghuan was about to speak when the other party said: "By the way, congratulations on your promotion to Mahayana - I never thought that that young boy who crawled into the ruins with me and burrowed into the ground could reach this stage today. It's really... …You got what you wanted, congratulations!”

Liu Qinghuan waved his hand and said: "You... alas!"

Lele plucked the strings casually, and a few ding-dong sounds sounded, and said: "But I am different from you, and you also know my temperament. It is impossible for me to sit in front of the wall and meditate every day. So it is my choice to live a normal life in such a relaxed way and not to pursue the elusive path to immortality.”

Liu Qinghuan couldn't help but remain silent for a while, then said: "Well, your eloquence is still the same as before. It seems that I don't need to say anything else. I can't say anything to you. It's okay if you think it's good."

"Yes, that's the truth." Lele became a little happier, pushed Qin away and stood up: "I haven't even bothered with you about your apprentice abducting my daughter. Alas, it's true that women are not allowed to stay. Every day She's running around outside and doesn't come back to see her."

Liu Qinghuan touched his nose and said: "Xiaoxiao is in Wenshi Sect now. If you want to see her, she will come back as soon as a flying letter is sent. It is so convenient to teleport the magic circle now. In addition, did I hear you right? It seems that you no longer Are you opposed to Nian En and Xiaoxiao?"

"Is it useful for me to object?" Lele rolled his eyes and smiled slyly: "Besides, I used to worry that Xiaoxiao would follow my old path, but doesn't that kid have a Daokui master now? No one can bully him. With him, no one can bully my daughter."

Sure enough, even though things have changed and the years have passed, Lele still retains the cheerful nature of the past, and Liu Qinghuan can't help but feel relieved.

"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I can protect her for a day. However, that year in the Mingshan Battlefield, Xiaoxiao was captured because of me, and I haven't told you yet..."

Lele sneered and interrupted him: "It's an old story. Isn't she good? Okay, I'm too lazy to worry about this with you. Come on, I'll take you to see the spiritual ponies I raised. You came just in time. One of them is about to give birth today..."

So the dignified Mahayana monk and newly minted Taoist leader was taken to the mountain to see a group of steed-colored horses, and by the way, he personally resuscitated one of the horses that had a difficult birth...

With Liu Qinghuan's cultivation, he could tell at a glance that Lele's life was running out, but the other party obviously didn't want to mention those sad past events, and he would not mention them again, but quietly left a message before leaving. A longevity pill.

The road to immortality is long, and the longer he walks on this road, his old friends leave one by one, and there are fewer and fewer people traveling with him.

Life and death are destined, and everyone has his or her own choices. No matter how much you talk and how thoroughly you think when you are young, you actually don’t understand death. But when you understand the meaning of death, you will not be far away from death.

How many people can truly achieve immortality? At this moment, Liu Qinghuan felt boundless loneliness in his heart.

With this loneliness, Liu Qinghuan left Qingqiu Valley, teleported to Qingmingtian, and went up to Dagushan.

This was the second time he went up to this mountain since the last time he went to the Aiying Temple to collect treasures. He saw wisps of clouds floating in the air, the rays of light falling like gauze, the flying cranes leaving their shadows, and the fairy aura. fluttering. Looking down from the mountain, you can have a panoramic view of the broad and busy Jiutian Yunxiao, including mountain peaks, meandering waters, roads, streets...

The feeling of being at a high altitude is really intoxicating, especially when you are on the Dagushan Mountain suspended in mid-air. Only when you can climb this mountain can you truly stand at the pinnacle of the world of immortality.

"Tao Zun Qinglin."

There was a call from behind, and Liu Qinghuan came to his senses and saw a little boy standing in front of the round cave door with his hands lowered, saying respectfully: "Please wait a moment, my master invites you to come in."

Liu Qinghuan straightened his sleeves and nodded politely: "Please lead the way."

Bypassing the mountain and water barrier, passing through the elegant vestibule, and arriving in front of a hall, I saw an old man in simple gray clothes sitting under a thousand-year-old pine tree with his eyes closed and meditating. Halfway through the chess game, the tea cup next to the table was steaming hot and the fragrance of tea overflowed.

The boy stopped and said softly: "Master, Taoist Qinglin has arrived."

The old man in gray clothes opened his eyes, but did not speak. He only looked at Liu Qinghuan steadily and looked at him from head to toe.

Liu Qinghuan let him look at her for a moment, and when she was about to step forward to salute, the old man in gray clothes had already spoken first: "You are very awake."

Liu Qinghuan couldn't help but paused and asked, "Why did Fellow Taoist Taihao say this?"

The old man in gray clothes - one of the Three Supreme Masters of Qingming, a monk in the late Mahayana period, the real leader of Banshan Academy, Taoist Master Taihao just looked at him, and then said after a long while: "The title of Taoist Leader has reached its peak, and the glory of Lingxu Ceremony has been added to it. But you gave up holding the ceremony, and you don't seem to be arrogant about it, so you are very sober. "

Liu Qinghuan said lightly: "A big tree attracts the wind, and a person has a high reputation. There is nothing worthy of being extravagant and arrogant."

Taihao looked at him again, then smiled slightly and pointed to his side: "Fellow Taoist, please sit down. This Hanging Moon Jade Dew should be tasted while it's hot. The tea tastes best."

Liu Qinghuan thanked her, sat down at the stone table, picked up the tea cup and took a sip: "It's really good tea. I heard that Xuan Yue Yu Lu, Ling Shan Yun Pian and Peng Xuan Feixue are listed as the three major teas. I'm finally lucky enough to see it today." ”

"It's just a wild tea plant next to my cave. It's not worth anything." Taihao smiled and turned to the boy standing beside him to order: "Go and get all the jade dew that you just picked a few days ago. When you come back, Qinglin Fellow Taoists can take it back and taste it slowly.”

Liu Qinghuan smiled: "Then I'm welcome."

Taihao said: "You should be like this. I heard that you are also from the academy, so you are one of my own. You don't have to be polite here at all. Just feel free to do it."

As he spoke, Taihao tapped the stone table with his fingertips, and the remaining chess pieces on the table fell back into the sandalwood boxes on both sides.

"It's been a long day. Fellow Taoist, would you like to chat with me for a while?"

Liu Qinghuan's eyes fell on the chessboard and said, "But my chess skills are only weak, so I'm afraid I'm going to be ugly."

Taihao laughed: "It's just to kill time, how can you show your ugliness?"

The two of them each held their chess pieces and concentrated on playing chess.

Liu Qinghuan's expression was relaxed and his mind was calm. He didn't bother to guess whether the other party invited him to meet today simply because he wanted to see him, or if he had some other purpose.

The two of them were playing chess and chatting. Taihao said, "Fellow Taoist must be very busy these days. There are many invitations and banquets to attend. However, there is one banquet that you must not miss, fellow Taoist!"
