Chapter 7 Old Love

In addition to death, Zhou Yixian and Xiaohuan walked slowly on the ancient road that left Dawang Village to the west.

Xiaohuan raised her bright eyes and looked around, and saw that the ancient road was overgrown with weeds and desolate. I walked out of Dawang Village for a long time, but I didn't even see a figure.

Looking far into the distance, I can only see that it is located in the wilderness. There are no mountains everywhere. The sky is high and the grass is long. From time to time, the wind blows through the fields. The green grass rolls like waves, but it is also beautiful, which makes people feel broad.

Zhou Yixian's voice came lazily from the side and said, "What are you looking at?"

Xiaohuan laughed and said, "Grandpa, when I came here a few days ago, I didn't look around because I was in a hurry. It's sunny today. Look, the scenery here is good!"

Zhou Yixian looked at the wilderness outside the ancient road and cheered up, but then said to himself, "Isn't it just a weed? What's good? If it's made of gold, it's still..."

"Grandpa!" Xiaohuan shouted, interrupted him, stared at him angrily, and said, "Why do you think about money all day long? Fortunately, there is a fairy character in your name. It's really vulgar!"

"Vulgar?" Zhou Yixian was furious and said, "Do you dare to scold me? I am a master from outside the world, and I am famous for all the Buddhas in the world to benefit the people and all sentient beings..."

Xiaohuan stared at him. Under the bright eyes of his granddaughter, Zhou Yixian's voice was getting smaller and lower. The more he talked, the more confident he became. Finally, he simply raised his head, snorted and said, "How did your little girl know how powerful grandpa is?"

Xiaohuan sneered and shook his head and turned his eyes away. Zhou Yixian was ridiculed by his granddaughter. He was depressed and sighed, "How could I have met you at the beginning? If I had known, I would have cried to death by the roadside and wouldn't care about you!"

Xiaohuan spit out his tongue, and his snow-white face was innocent and cute. He smiled and said, "Isn't that grandpa?"

Zhou Yixian stared at Xiaohuan and said angrily, "Good-hearted ghost, raise you so big, the whole weather is me!"

Xiaohuan was not afraid, let alone angry. It seemed that he had heard a lot of these words for a long time. He approached Zhou Yixian, turned his eyes, and suddenly said, "Oh, grandpa! Why did you take me away at the beginning?

Zhou Yixian was stunned. In fact, he and Xiaohuan have always been used to it casually. How could he really be angry? However, when he heard Xiaohuan's question at this time, he picked up a few past events, and his face was melancholy. He sighed and said, "In Heyang City, I saw a little girl He was dying, and even his crying was hoarse. For a moment, his heart was soft, so he picked him up.

Speaking of this, he suddenly stared at Xiaohuan and said, "At that time, when you were so young that you were so smart that you stopped crying immediately, which made me think that I was really destined for you. As soon as I thought about it, I couldn't give up anymore."

Xiaohuan made a face to him, reached out and grabbed Zhou Yixian's clothes, smiled coquettishly and said, "Grandpa, aren't you kind? There must be good reward in the future. Ah! You see, over the years, how much money have I made for you all day long?

Zhou Yixian nodded subconsciously, opened his eyebrows and smiled, "Well, this is also..." He suddenly woke up and turned his face angrily and said, "What is it? Nonsense!"

Xiaohuan covered his mouth and sneered. After a while, he seemed to think of something and said, "Well, grandpa, what did you do in Heyang City at the beginning? Isn't it at the foot of Qingyun Mountain? I remember that you have always been unwilling to get close to there. Over the years, it seems that only ten years ago, for the sake of the Qingyun disciple named Zhang Xiaofan, we were curious to follow, but we didn't get close.

Zhou Yixian's face was slightly gloomy. He sighed and said, "It's not the bone spiritual position of your father you have never met, which is in Heyang City. On the day of his death, I stayed in front of his tomb for a long time. When I came out, I saw you on the street. I was very sad. Looking at you pitiful, I adopted you.

Xiaohuan listened and was a little silent for a moment. After a long time, he said, "Grandpa, we haven't seen Dad for another ten years."

Zhou Yixian calculated slightly in his heart and nodded, "Yes, it's been another ten years in a blink of an eye." Speaking of this, he smiled bitterly and said, "Well, anyway, we have nowhere to go for a while. Why don't we go to Heyang City and see your father!"

Xiaohuan immediately nodded and said, "Okay!"

Zhou Yixian waved his hand and said, "Let's go! This wilderness makes people bored.

The two walked forward and walked. After all, Xiaohuan was young, and it was all old things. Coupled with her lively nature, she quickly got rid of that little sadness. As she walked, she looked around the scenery. Inadvertently turned around, suddenly stunned and said to Grandpa, "Grandpa, look behind us."

Zhou Yixian was stunned and said strangely, "What's wrong?" With that, he looked back.

Xiaohuan said, "The wild dog Taoist priest seems to be following us?"

Zhou Yixian took a closer look and saw that the wild dog Taoist somehow followed him from afar, walking slowly, always keeping a distance from them. At this moment, seeing them suddenly stop and look back, the wild dog seemed to be stunned. Unexpectedly, he also stopped, with hesitation and a little embarrassment on his face, and then stood aside and looked up at the sky.

Zhou Yixian's face was full of suspicion. He stared at him twice, turned his head and pulled Xiaohuan to continue to walk forward, and whispered, "What's that guy doing here?"

Xiao Huanqi said, "Who are you going to ask me?"

Zhou Yixian suffocated and suddenly stared at Xiaohuan and said, "Is that guy lustful and wants to do something wrong to you?"

Xiaohuan was shocked, and his face turned red. He said anguly, "Grandpa, you can say such words!"

Zhou Yixian snorted and said, "Why can't I say that in this world now, bad people are rampant, and you are beautiful. It's hard to say!"

Xiaohuan gave him a white look and said, "In my opinion! In the past, the wild dog Taoist priest was in the demon religion. Although his reputation was not very good, he had never heard that he had harmed a woman. Instead, there were a lot of rumors of killing, arson, and day-day robbery.

Zhou Yixian's face turned pale, and he suddenly became nervous and said, "Isn't that guy trying to rob us two poor people?"

Xiaohuan snorted and said, "It's hard to say. Besides, Grandpa, I'm afraid you have much more money than the poor!"

Zhou Yixian quickly lowered his voice and said, "Shh! Don't talk so loudly." With that, he looked around, frowned and said, "Oh, there is no one around here. It's the best place to rob. Shall we run faster?"

Xiaohuan was stunned, but saw Zhou Yixian reaching out in his arms and taking out a yellow paper charm. It seemed that he wanted to use his "grandfather's secret" escape skill to escape. He couldn't help but be angry and funny. He quickly grabbed Zhou Yixian and said, "Grandpa, wait a minute."

Zhou Yixian looked behind his back and said, "That guy is following up again. What are you waiting for?"

Xiaohuan smiled and said, "Grandpa, although your escape is a secret skill handed down by your ancestors, you can't control where we come out after escape. Let me tell you, we are not far from the dead spot now. If you get into it, we will be really sad.

Zhou Yixian was stunned and said, "We won't have such bad luck, will we?"

Xiaohuan glanced at him and said, "Do you think your luck is good or bad?"

Zhou Yixian thought for a moment, and then said resolutely, "Wor!"

Xiaohuan smiled and said, "That's over, so we can't take risks." With that, she approached Zhou Yixian, her eyes signaled to her left hand, and whispered, "Grandpa, you forget, I still have a bottle of body protection magic weapon given by my sister. Besides, the wild dog Taoist is not a magician, and it's not difficult for us to deal with him."

Zhou Yixian bowed his head and meditated, and then took a breath and said, "You're right, alas! Somehow, I've been frightened and restless these days. It seems that most of them saw too many monks in the dead, and they also looked up to the wild dog.

Xiaohuan squeezed his lips and smiled and said, "Besides, that wild dog Taoist priest doesn't seem to be a bad person. Didn't he lend us an umbrella at the beginning?"

Zhou Yixian said, "What are we? I lent it to you. I was half drenched in the rain. You girl is indifferent. It's really unfilial."

Xiaohuan stuck out his tongue and said with a smile, "Grandpa, I covered it for you. You don't want it yourself."

Zhou Yixian snorted again, stepped forward and said to himself, "Anyway, you are the same as your unfilial father. You make me angry all day long. It's really disobey!"

Xiaohuan smiled and shook his head and followed.

After the ancient road, the wild dog Taoist faintly heard the laughter in front of him, frowned, and his face changed, but finally followed.

Between heaven and earth, the wind passes through the wilderness and is ringing from "woo".

After walking for another half an hour, Zhou Yixian felt a little tired. He pulled the small ring and said, "Take a break."

Xiaohuan nodded and looked at a half-large blue stone on the roadside. He walked over and patted it and said, "Grandpa, sit here!"

Zhou Yixian nodded, leaned against the white bamboo pole with the "fairy guide" white cloth in his hand, leaned down next to the blue stone, sat down on the stone, couldn't help gasping, shook his head slightly, and said, "Recently, why do you always feel that your health is not good, how long have you walked

Xiaohuan was taking out the kettle with water from the bag. Hearing this, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes. He came over and handed the kettle to Zhou Yixian. At the same time, he said, "Grandpa, drink some water!"

Zhou Yixian nodded, took the kettle, took a few sips high, took a breath, and then turned his head to look back. Sure enough, he saw a figure behind him, standing far away.

Zhou Yixian looked at it for a long time, suddenly smiled and ignored him. He handed the kettle to Xiaohuan. Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he was stunned. Xiaohuan sat next to him. I don't know when he began to have another red sugar-coated haws in his hand and ate it with relish. .

Zhou Yixian shook his head and said earnestly, "I said Xiaohuan! Why don't you look at how old you are? Why do you still like a little girl and love this sugar-coated haws so much?

Xiaohuan spat gently to the side of the road and spit out a small grain of sugar-coated haws. He smiled coquettishly at Zhou Yixian and said, "But they love to eat!"

Zhou Yi was dumb and sighed, "More than ten years ago, there were so many pastries in Heyang City. Why did I run to the roadside alley to buy this sugar-coated haws for you?"

After saying that, she shook her head and sighed. Xiaohuan smiled and said nothing. She gently tasted the delicious food in her hand. Perhaps under the influence of the red appearance of the sugar-coated haws, her lips also seemed to add a touch of luster.

Zhou Yixian sat for a while and felt that his physical strength was gradually recovering, so he planned to call Xiaohuan to continue on the road. Unexpectedly, as soon as his head turned, he suddenly looked in front of him, and suddenly a pair of feet appeared.

Zhou Yixian was shocked and said to himself: Could it be that the wild dog took the opportunity to sneak over? It seems that I really can't believe the little girl's words. I have been walking around the world for more than a hundred years. Can't the turtle fall and the sewer overturn today?

On this side, he was thinking nonsense and was about to call Xiaohuan up. Suddenly, he only heard the gentle and calm voice of the man in front of him and said faintly, "Are you still looking at others?"

Zhou Yixian and Xiaohuan both stood up and looked up. Before they met, they were a middle-aged man, with thin eyebrows and square faces, elegant eyebrows, dazzling eyes, full foreheads, and an unangular momentum in elegance. A Confucian robe, with a light purple jade pendant at the waist, exquisite and transparent, with a faint auspicious atmosphere. It is very beautiful and extraordinary.

It's just his forehead, but it's not commensurate with his appearance. He has a lot more white hair, which looks a little more vicissitudes.

Zhou Yixian's face suddenly became very strange. He stared at the man in front of him. Under the unnoticed sleeves, his hands were tightly clenched into fists, but on his face, after the astonishment, there was a little excitement, some relief and some of the vicissitudes of the world.

Xiaohuan's eyes turned around the man's face and returned to Grandpa. Then he found that Zhou Xian's face seemed to be not right. Just as he was about to say something, Zhou Yixian suddenly said, "Xiao Huan, go to the side and wait for Grandpa to ask you to come back again."

Xiaohuan was stunned. This was something that had never happened before, but Zhou Yixian's face was serious, which was not like a joke. Moreover, looking at the look of the two of them, it seemed to be an old acquaintance. At the moment, he answered, turned around and casually sorted out the burden and walked back.

As she walked, she looked back from time to time, but saw that Grandpa and the middle-aged man were still standing there face to face, as if they still didn't say anything. She was a little worried. She just met the middle-aged man for the first time, but only in a short moment, but somehow she was a little afraid of him, and there was no reason to be afraid.

For more than ten years, she has been following Zhou Yixian. She never knew that Grandpa would know such a powerful person!

Just as she was thinking, she was in a trance and didn't realize that she had walked a long way. Suddenly, she found that there was a figure in front of her. She quickly stopped and almost bumped into the man. When she looked at it, it was a wild dog Taoist. She hurriedly said, "

Unexpectedly, the wild dog Taoist's face was also very wrong at this moment, and a look of horror flashed on his face, and his eyes stared straight forward, full of fear.

Xiaohuan was shocked again. Looking down his line of sight, he saw that the wild dog Taoist was also the middle-aged man. I don't know who that man is, which will make the wild dog Taoist so afraid?

Xiaohuan thought to himself and couldn't help asking the wild dog Taoist in a low voice, "Taoist priest, who is that man? Do you know him?"

The wild dog was shocked and seemed to come to his senses, but the fear on his face was still undiminished. He looked at the little ring beside him and said, "Don't you know him?"

Xiaohuan nodded and said, "Yes! I also saw this person for the first time today, but I think grandpa seems to know him. By the way, do you recognize him? Who is he?"

The corner of the wild dog Taoist's mouth moved, as if he wanted to say something, but somehow, he suddenly became silent and looked straight at the middle-aged man in front of him.

Xiaohuan frowned and intuitively felt that the wild dog Taoist's reaction was a little strange. He was afraid, but now he seemed to be a little more angry!

Zhou Yixian stood side by side with the middle-aged man, standing on the edge of the ancient road, looking into the wilderness.

The breeze is blowing, and the temples are white, as if they are also telling the story of the years and the vicissitudes of life.

"We haven't seen each other for many years, have we?" The middle-aged man suddenly said lightly.

Zhou Yixian looked into the distance, with a complicated look on his face. After a long time, he said, "It's been decades!"

The man smiled faintly and said, "Are you all right?"

Zhou Yixian was silent for a long time and said, "Wandering around the world, playing in the world, it can't be said to be good or bad."

The man seemed to have some feelings. He turned his head and looked at Zhou Yixian and said, "Are you still blaming me in your heart?"

Zhou Yixian smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "You didn't feel sorry for me. What do I blame you for?"

The man smiled and said, "Actually, it's not bad for you to do this. Be happy and travel around the world. Now that I think about it, it's also the life of immortals. It's not in vain that there is a fairy character in your name."

Zhou Yixian looked at him and suddenly said, "If you want to live like me, what's the difficulty, old friend?"

The man suddenly heard Zhou Yixian say "old friend" and couldn't help but be stunned, but then smiled, looked into the distance, and slowly said, "I'm different from you."

Zhou Yixian said lightly, "Of course, you are different from me. Since you were a teenager, your heart of power has been extremely important. Up to now, I expect you can't let go."

The man frowned, and there seemed to be anger flashing in his eyes. It seemed that no one had ever dared to talk to him like this, but he looked back at Zhou Yixian, but he saw that he was gray-haired, much older than himself. Suddenly, he was at a loss, and his anger disappeared.

"Why do you look so old?"

Zhou Yixian shook his head and said, "I'm old, but you have been good at monasticism. You shouldn't have..." Speaking of this, he was a little hesitant, but finally said, "I heard about your daughter, you..."

The man was gloomy, and then he slowly shook his head and blocked Zhou Yixian's words. Suddenly, he said, "When we were still young, you used 'Tiang God' to calculate my fortune at the foot of Huqi Mountain. Do you remember?"

Zhou Yixian was stunned.

The man looked up at the sky and said slowly, "I still remember very clearly that you were young and energetic at that time, and you said everything to me directly, saying that my life was too evil, and the punishment of his wife and children. If there is no way to crack it, you will inevitably lose your wife and have no children under your knees. Now it really came true one by one. As he spoke, his voice gradually became desolate.

Zhou Yixian lowered his head. After a long time, he suddenly looked up and said cately, "Now we are all half-earthed, and I also have something to say to you."

The man seemed slightly surprised and said, "Say it."

Zhou Yixian stared at him and said, "When I said those words at the beginning, it was completely my nonsense and lied to you. I have been annoyed with those fortune-telling things since I was a child. How can I learn it patiently? As for that kind of heavenly calculation, there is naturally this, but how can I understand it? So those words at the beginning were just that I saw you with a proud face, and I was so angry that I said it on purpose. Don't take it to heart!"

The man's body was shocked. It seemed that he never expected that such words would be said from Zhou Yixian's mouth. After a long time, he suddenly shook his head and laughed loudly. He bent down to laugh later. How could there be any majesty when he first met?

In the distance, Xiaohuan and the wild dog Taoist were stunned.

For a long time, the man slowly stopped laughing, and his expression gradually returned to calmness and majesty, but his eyes seemed to have a little more bitterness.

Zhou Yixian looked at him silently.

They stood side by side for a long time, and then Zhou Yixian said lightly, "Why did you come here?"

The man looked at him and said, "Aren't you smart from the negative? What do you think?"

Zhou Yixian snorted and said, "Are you going to die?"

The man said leisurely, "Yes, I'm just going there. What, don't you want to see it? Old friend?"

Zhou Yixian curled the corners of his mouth and said, "You have a bad reputation. It's strange for me to walk with you. I'd better stay away from you."

The man looked at Zhou Yixian, suddenly laughed dumbly, and then said, "The ancient road of the world, it is rare to see the old friend. You and I will meet today. I don't know when we will meet again. Take care of yourself.

Zhou Yixian snorted and said, "I live well. I don't want to die, but your enemies are more than the foxes on Huqi Mountain. You'd better think about yourself!"

Xiaohuan stood by the roadside and waited for a long time. Suddenly, he saw Grandpa in front of him coming over with the man. He hurriedly greeted him and walked to Grandpa. The middle-aged man looked at Xiaohuan and then fell on the wild dog Taoist behind him.

The wild dog Taoist's face changed and he slowly lowered his head.

The man looked at him a few times and suddenly said, "Are you the wild dog Taoist beside Gui Li?"

The wild dog Taoist's face was more frightened. He hesitated for a moment before whispering, "Yes."

Xiaohuan stood beside Zhou Yixian and couldn't help whispering to Zhou Yixian, "Grandpa, who is he?"

Zhou Yixian hasn't answered yet, but the middle-aged man seemed to even hear this little voice. He turned around and smiled, "Why, doesn't the little girl know me?"

Xiaohuan was shocked and shook his head blankly.

The man smiled and said, "Just call me everyone!"

The little ring was stunned.

The man took a deep look at Zhou Yixian, suddenly waved his sleeve robe, turned around and strode away, and did not look back. There is a momentum of staring at the world, which slowly spreads away.

After him, everyone saw the figure going along the ancient road in the direction of death. Suddenly, they heard the man singing loudly, "Tianya Road has never been far away. Children's intentions have always been crazy. The sky is high and the sea is 80,000 feet wide, and all sentient beings are crawling. The stars are ten thousand, the moon is bright, the sky is cold, as cold as frost. It's ridiculous that everything is like a dog. Who turns over the clouds for the rain? ..."

This song is ancient and clumsy. Although it is not soft and pleasant to listen to, it has its own meaning in the desolation.

Everyone saw that under the sky, above the ancient road, leisurely white clouds, silent wilderness, the man walked with his hands on his hands, indescribably unruly.

The song is getting lower and lower, and the man has gone far away.
