Chapter Eleven Life is not good(1/2)
At noon, the mountain wind is flying.
Jiang Yi was wearing a red dress and stood on the bridge outside the main peak of the barren mountain, looking at the mountains and fields in the north.
The bridge was just built and was constructed of giant trees, six feet wide. The giant pillars were supported and hung in the air, reaching the middle of the Jingtai Sect. On both sides were sculptures of thousands of birds and beasts, among which were the Baishan Spirit, a unique Baishan Spirit.
Because the Baishan Jing looks similar to the Tuanzi, Jiang Yi stood next to the sculpture, and her back looked like a small dot compared to the towering bridge.
Between the mountains in front of you, the giant beast slowly walked through the stone. The formation masters from Fulong Mountain and the craftsmen of Tiandi City commanded apprentices on the tops of the mountain, carefully carving buildings that were either magnificent or exquisite.
Last year, when the stolen pills fled, he did not attack the Jingtai terrace located between the mountains, but the aftermath still destroyed most of the buildings in the sect.
The structure of the sect is very particular, and repairing is too complicated and the elixir is gone. There is no need to be wary of the main peak of the barren mountain. The original layout has lost its function. The Jingtao simply pushed all the new ones to be repaired. From last year to this year, it has been almost completed.
When the main peak of the barren mountain rushed out, a gap was opened on the south side of the mountain. The Divine Fire Cave Heaven below became very unstable. It was temporarily closed and no longer allowed disciples to get close. Only a few people were there in the villa originally built on the mountainside.
The villa was originally the residence of the founder Qiu Boyue in the sect. At first, there was only one small house. After marrying a wife and having children, it expanded several times. Now it has become the ancestral home of the Qiu family and is also considered the ancestral hall.
Qiu Boyue is relatively young among the Eight Lords, but she is definitely not young. After thousands of years of inheritance, it is logical that the enemy family should be a prosperous family, but in fact it is not the case.
The higher the practice of human Taoism in practice, the more cautious you will be with the matter of bloodline inheritance. The reason is very simple. The dragon gives birth to dragons, and the phoenix gives birth to phoenixes.
Although the world does not restrict the monks of high-level realms to have children, monks of high-level realms can already live forever and do not need to rely on rapid birth and death to continue their bloodlines. If they give birth to children, they will not give birth to an ordinary descendant with a lifespan of only a few decades, which will add to their heart knots to the pain of losing their children for nothing. If they want to give birth to children who can also live forever.
This will inevitably lead to huge investment in nurturing descendants. You can give birth to a prodigal son every time by doing it. The high investment in training invisibly limits the number of children born by monks.
If you only care about birth and not care about raising, then no matter how many births are, they are just ordinary people. The descendants are all passers-by in the world. Only the ancestors are left with white hair and black hair every day. I am afraid that few people are willing to live such a life.
Not only people in practice, but also ordinary birds, beasts, fish and insects, but also the longer the life span, the fewer children. The reason is the hard limit of heaven and earth resources.
Since the ancestor Qiu Boyue, the Qiu family has been a single lineage. To this day, there are only a few people in the entire Qiu family. There are some distant relatives like grandparents, but they are not in the deserted mountains.
Jiang Yi followed Shangguan Zu to the deserted mountain. The people brought by the Lord Linyuan were naturally distinguished guests, and were settled in the villa by his enemies.
After half a month, Jiang Yi had never seen anyone in the villa. The Lord of the Wild Mountain refused to say that she was injured and was in seclusion in an unknown place, and she could not get out for a few years. Shangguan Zu was with Tang Jingyun and soaked in the Shenhuo Cave Heaven together. Although her cultivation level had improved by leaps and bounds, she was still very low. She could not stay in the Shenhuo Cave Heaven for a long time, so she could only go in and out slowly.
At noon, the fire was the most intense. Jiang Yi could not bear the surging power in the Heaven of the Divine Fire Cave. When she stood on the edge of the bridge to rest and looked into the distance, she was also wondering if the Imperial Concubine was stealing her home now.
As a personal maid, Leng Zhu gained money this time. At this time, she stood in front of her and tried to hug the Baishan Jing sculpture that was much bigger than her.
When he found Jiang Yi holding her chest, a look of worry appeared in her eyes, Leng Zhu comforted her:
"Are the princess worried about Mr. Zuo? Don't worry, with the concubine in front of you, Mr. Zuo will not have any trouble, and my aunt will definitely be safe..."
It was because the concubine was in front of Zuo Lingquan that Jiang Yi was here as a husband-watching stone. Seeing this stupid maid who couldn't figure out her intentions, she frowned:
"What am I worried about him? I am worried that I will not be with me, my aunt and the concubine can't speak, and she is bored alone."
"How could my aunt be bored? The princess is not in front of me..."
Leng Zhu originally wanted to say, "You can let go of the trouble with Master Zuo", but when she noticed that Jiang Yi's eyes were wrong, she might immediately make her go back to the big pill, and quickly changed her words: "The princess is not in front of her, my aunt must have been thinking about the princess. Should we contact her?"
Jiang Yi didn't want to disturb Zuo Lingquan and the others, and she really contacted her. If Zuo Lingquan was practicing and her aunt covered her mouth and chatted with her, she wouldn't be cowardly.
The more you think about these messy things, the more sad you feel. Jiang Yi didn't want to speak anymore and turned around and walked towards the entrance of the Shenhuo Cave Heaven.
Leng Zhu shrugged her shoulders and walked behind her, but before she could finish the bridge, she saw two figures walking towards the other end of the bridge.
The person who came was also a pair of masters and servants. The figure walking in front was a woman, wearing a long snow-colored dress, tall and slender, spotless, with a white gauze covering her face. All she could see was long black hair, bright eyes as sharp as cold stars, and her eyebrows were like willow leaves. She did not look fierce, but it was very cold, making people feel unattainable at first glance.
The one behind her was also a woman, dressed like a female housekeeper in a wealthy family. She had a slightly longer face, was more charming, dignified and dignified. She held a white-shelf sword in her hand, walked behind her feet, looking at them both.
After Jiang Yi came here to stay, she knew that there were other people in the barren mountain, but she had never seen them before. She suddenly met the two of them who came out of them and was a little stunned.
Although he had never seen the two people, Jiang Yi probably guessed that the person who came was probably the eldest lady from Jingtao.
In the past, when he was in Dengchao Port, Jiang Yi saw Miss Qiu who returned from Hua Junzhou from afar through Zuo Lingquan's perspective. She also had such a lineup of one after another, and her temperament was similar.
After arriving at the barren mountain, Jiang Yi had no chance to inquire about these things. She was very unfamiliar with this immortal lady with an outrageous background. There was no fork on the bridge. She pretended not to see it, so she stopped in place and watched the two of them pass by.
Miss Qiu was evaluated by Shangguan Lingye as "scarce swordsmanship, poor magic, low understanding, poor talent, ten thousand years old...', but in fact it would definitely not be so unbearable; how could ordinary people give so many adjectives to Shangguan Lingye, who is highly regarded, at least it must be an opponent that makes Shangguan Lingye feel difficult to deal with, so I am so impressed.
As one of the young masters with the largest background in the nine sects, it is inevitable that they have a high posture. Miss Qiu walked in the middle of the bridge, without looking sideways, as if she didn't notice the two of them at all, or they had noticed them, but she didn't have the heart to pay attention to them.
The other party said that it was also starting from the jade stairs. Jiang Yi didn't care about this. After the other party entered, she wanted to continue to walk towards the Shenhuo Cave Heaven.
But what Jiang Yi didn't expect was that after Miss Qiu walked over, she suddenly stopped and looked back at her and Leng Zhu:
"Are you the newly accepted disciple of Lord Linyuan?"
The sound is like a silver bell, like a water and a song. The voice sounds very comfortable, but it also has a sharp edge.
Jiang Yi was very surprised, stopped, turned around and nodded slightly:
"The fairy misunderstood. I just followed the Lord Linyuan, not the disciple of Lord Linyuan."
In the jurisdiction of the Nine Sects, those who can be taken out by one of the Lords personally will definitely have a close relationship with those who are not disciples.
Miss Qiu knew that Shangguan’s ancestor was alone and Jiang Yi could not be the ancestor’s niece, so she treated her as an apprentice. She said:
"You look much more comfortable than Shangguan Lingye. If you practice well, your achievements will not be worse than her in the future."
"Um?"
Jiang Yi was confused, of course she was also surprised. She hesitated for a while before responding:
"The fairy is awarded."
Miss Qiu didn't seem to be in a relationship. After saying something without any brains, she stopped talking and turned around and left.
Jiang Yi didn't say much, and watched the master and servant leave with some confusion.
However, before the two of them had taken a few steps, Jiang Yi saw a white rainbow flying from the mountains, landing on the bridge, and turning into an elegant man in brocade robe.
The man Jiang Yi had seen it, Qiu Fengqing, the elder who was the sword-wielding platform. Last time he came, Qiu Fengqing was neither humble nor arrogant when he saw the Lord Linyuan, but this time he smiled and looked close to him, and said with a smile:
"Niu Niu, my father was discussing with Old Zhao from Yanyuelin just now to create a new ferry for you. I didn't expect you to leave the customs early and come too late..."
Niu Niu...
Jiang Yi's eyes widened a little, but she didn't expect that this cold-looking fairy had such a down-to-earth nickname.
However, she did not find it funny because of this. She was born in the imperial family and grew up in Qihuang Valley since she was a child. Speaking of which, she has never been with her father and daughter like a secular father and daughter since she was a child. Faced with such a scene, it feels a bit indescribable, and it may be envious.
However, Miss Qiu, who was spoiled by the pearl in her palm, seemed to not want to appreciate it. She just nodded slightly and walked across the bridge like a stranger, without stopping her footsteps.
Qiu Fengqing is a person in the mountains under the Lord of the Wild Mountains. He is considered a giant wherever he puts it. However, in the face of this situation, he also showed helplessness and did not chase him. He just stood there and watched him embarrassedly.
Jiang Yi was not good at watching other people’s housework, but it was not appropriate to turn around and leave, so she said hello:
"Senior Qiu."
Qiu Fengqing's eyes were complicated. After his daughter left, she shook her head and sighed, showing a bitter smile:
"Oh~ I made the princess laugh."
"Senior Qiu, you are polite, just call me Jiang Yi."
Jiang Yi is the eldest princess of the Great Dan Dynasty. The Great Dan Dynasty is a secular dynasty with its back against Jingtai. It is on the other side of the barren mountain. It is reasonable to call Jiang Yi a princess, but Qiu Fengqing can call this, obviously because of the Lord Linyuan behind him.
Lord Linyuan was nearby. Qiu Fengqing met Jiang Yi, but he did not neglect him. He came to the front and said:
"How is the princess living in the mountains these days? She has no suitable person to accompany her at home, so she has really neglected the princess. Originally, the boy Zuo Yunting was on the mountain, and he also came from the big pill. He seems to be a relative to the princess, and he can talk to him, but it's a pity that he went out a few days ago."
Jiang Yi knew that Zuo Yunting was here, and after coming to the barren mountain, she wanted to ask about the stupid guy. When she heard this, she asked:
"Where has Zuo Yunting been going?"
"I went to Zhongzhou with Lao Lu. There seemed to be news of the fairy sword over there. Qi Jia went home to grab the opportunity, so he followed him to help."
"help?"
Jiang Yi blinked her eyes and thought this was too nonsense. Zuo Yunting was famous for doing anything in Dadan Capital. The only way she could think of was to stay at home and not walk around, so as not to drag her teammates back.
Qiu Fengqing actually had a good sense of Zuo Yunting. Seeing Jiang Yi's expression strange, he said with a smile:
"Don't underestimate Zuo Yunting. He doesn't do anything else, but... but... it seems that nothing can do, but this kid is lucky and popular. In the same way, luck works like everything. Looking back at that time, we were traversing with Lao Lu. At that time, Lao Lu was cruel and ruthless and dared to do anything. We all knew that we couldn't have a close relationship, but we couldn't resist the boy's luck. He could hit magic weapons and secret books wherever he went. He could always get rid of danger when he encountered something. He couldn't bear to break up with friendship..."
Jiang Yi was as interested in the past of these immortal masters as Zuo Lingquan. She had heard of Lao Lu and said curiously:
"So, Mr. Lu should have high achievements, but Mr. Lu... seems not as good as Senior Qiu now."
Qiu Fengqing recalled the past, sighed and said earnestly:
"In the end of the practice, it is all about cultivating the mind. Magic weapons and opportunities and even the longevity of life. After all, it is all about arousing greed in the heart. If you drill too deeply and forget why you practice, it will be too late when you want to turn back. Lao Lu's mistake is that he is not able to be cruel to the end, otherwise he can become a big devil and repent halfway, and the result is that he cannot achieve both."
Jiang Yi seems to understand but not understand.
"It's normal for you to not understand now. There are many ways to practice such things. In the past, there was a swordsman named Lin Zifeng, who was older than me. He was a hero in Zhongzhou and even mentioned something to me. Unfortunately, I love swords and was obsessed with demons. I couldn't understand swords. I thought it was caused by shackles in my heart. I gradually stopped distinguishing good and evil enemies and friends. When I felt that I would come, I would draw my sword and kill people when I came out. I turned into a martial madman. Because no one could judge his intentions, I might be brothers at the last moment, and the next moment he would kill people. In the end, everyone would take action first when they met him. Even the relatives and friends in the past were like this..."
"Then how did this guy end up doing?"
"Some years have not been moved, either dead or change. However, the evil deeds in the past are irreversible. If you see it openly, you will commit suicide, and if you can't see it, you will be killed. If you become a demon, you can seek the great way because of your previous mistakes, who will reason for those who die in vain?"
Qiu Fengqing chatted casually, feeling that these great principles involving the heart of Taoism were not well understood by Jiang Yi, so she smiled again:
"This guy Zuo Yunting is so powerful. He can see through things. He has countless minor problems but knows big troubles. If he divides Zuo Lingquan's talent into 10 or 2, he may not encounter a bottleneck in his life. Unfortunately, God is so fair that he will not concentrate all his advantages on one person."
Jiang Yi nodded slightly, but when she talked about her man, she still disagrees with her:
"I think Zuo Lingquan doesn't seem to have any shortcomings."
"There is no shortcoming that saints are. They usually have to do great things, and they are destined to be vigorous and have no chance of being in front of the cup and under the moon. There are sayings that loyalty and filial piety are difficult to achieve, so isn't the same in the way of practice?"
Qiu Fengqing looked at the direction of his daughter's departure. This sentence was probably also about himself. He sighed softly, stopped talking, and raised his hand to say goodbye.
To be continued...
