Chapter 37 The past is like mist and rain(1/2)

Rush rust rust rust —

By the evening, the tourists in Meishan had already dispersed. The fine raindrops were scattered on the bluestone floor tiles. The occasional muffled thunder sounded, making the valley even more empty and lonely.

A tall woman wearing a long golden dragon scale dress walked alone across the stone path and came to a stone tablet in the forest where she could not see her handwriting clearly. She stood silently, and her eyes showed that only when she was alone would occasionally appear as if she was a different life.

The stone tablet made of cloud stone is very old, with patterns and edges eroded by wind and rain, half of which is buried in the soil, and the original appearance is no longer visible.

The woman in front of the monument had no trace of time left on her face. Compared with the monument, she was like people and things from two eras. I am afraid no one could imagine that this monument that had experienced storms was actually erected by a woman.

Shangguan Yutang can't remember when he came here last time, but when he first came here, he still remembers it fresh.

That was a long time ago, when there were no nine sects in the world and Sword Emperor City.

Shangguan Yutang walked out of the mountains alone, with no relatives under his eyes, and with a small snake and a wooden stick, he struggled in the wild and chaotic times, almost running all over the land of Jiuzhou.

As for the purpose, as mentioned earlier, I just want to find all the villagers back.

Letting those who have already entered the cycle of reincarnation be resurrected from the dead, and violating the laws of heaven is not in line with the laws of mankind. After seeing it a lot, Shangguan Yutang slowly gave up this naive idea and turned his goal to be the god of mortals, so that there are people to ask for in despair, rather than calling Tiantian unanswered like she used to be.

With a goal, you naturally need to complete it.

After searching for Shangguan Yutang, he came to the southern part of Yuyaozhou, which had the largest population density at that time.

As an alien monk, his Taoist practice is not very high. It is obviously not easy to come over to be the boss of the southern part of Yuyaozhou.

Shangguan Yutang grew up alone in the wilderness, and he had a good idea in his heart, but his way of dealing with things is the standard jungle law. I am the boss, and I will not accept it until you accept it.

There were many masters in Yuyaozhou at that time, and this style of behavior naturally caused dissatisfaction among local monks. Especially the four generations of Nangongshan, ancestors, old, middle and green people were beaten to kneel down and beg for mercy and came out of the "four generations of living together". The southern immortals were furious, and many immortals were talking to suppress the arrogance of this foreign reckless man.

Shangguan Yutang has been "advance but not retreating" all his life, so he naturally will not give in. He still won't accept anyone's conscience until he met Mei Jinshui.

Mei Jinshui was at that time, and his status was no less than that of the eight great masters today. After meeting her, he did not deal with her, but said something to her and still remembered it:

"Everyone makes mistakes, so good and evil cannot be held in one hand; you must learn to accept others, rather than just relying on a pair of fists to make the world what you want..."

Shangguan Yutang has no relatives in this world. He has developed the habit of believing in himself since childhood. His idea at that time was indeed to conquer everyone and listen to her, and then the world will become better.

After hearing Mei Jinshui's words, Shangguan Yutang suddenly realized that she was wrong. She was just a personal person. She might make mistakes because of her emotions and desires. She should not judge all good and evil based on her preferences.

If you want to make the world really better, the lower mortals will no longer be as life as grass. The correct way is to establish a rule that is above everyone, even she is in charge of it, so that you can completely ensure that the lower mortals can live like individuals.

This rule was the later "Nine Sects Covenant".

Of course, Shangguan Yutang at that time had just had a rough idea, and he was just a dominant mountaintop. He had taken over a few casual cultivators, and it was not easy to practice his own ideas.

Mei Jinshui admired her very much. After leaving, she spoke to the outside world, saying that it was about 'This person is covered by my Mei Jinshui. If you want to move her, you will first consider your own Taoism'.

After this sentence was released, Shangguan Yutang was completely accepted by the southern monks. He could establish sects seriously and participate in the activities of major immortals. He was no longer regarded as an outsider.

Although Shangguan Yutang could do this with his own strength, Mei Jinshui's appreciation did avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.

In order to thank Mei Jinshui, Shangguan Yutang came to Meishan outside Xiangyang City to pay a visit after gaining a foothold.

It was also at that time that Shangguan Yutang met someone she felt that she was "the most demanding" in her life.

In the eyes of outsiders, Shangguan Yutang is cruel and ruthless, has no friends or any emotions. He is treated equally by adhering to the right way. But careful people will find that Shangguan Yutang calls his name directly whenever he meets, and only gives two people nicknames.

One is Tang Jingyan, and Shangguan Yutang was so tired that he had no choice. As he fell in love over time, he slowly scolded the other party for "dead woman".

Before Tang Jingyan, Shangguan Yutang would only use the down-to-earth title of "Old Witch" when talking about one person.

"Old Witch" is not a nice nickname, but the different titles represent the other person's position in his heart, which is different from everyone else.

This title originated from Shangguan Yutang's first visit to Meishan.

Mei Jinshui is very famous and never shows up easily. If you want to be enlightened by experts or want to be famous, you will write poems about plum blossoms outside Meishan Mountain. If you write well, Mei Jinshui may come out.

Shangguan Yutang used to practice martial arts, and even learned to read by himself, so he could recite poems and write correctly. After coming to Meishan, he wanted to let the disciples outside the mountain inform him.

As a result, Mei Jinshui did not come out. What came out was a little fairy carrying a peach blossom branch. She claimed to be Cui Yingying, the main disciple of the ancestor Mei, and was named "Peach Blossom Fairy". Nian Fang had 600 yuan. If you want to see the ancestor Mei, you had to pass her eyes first.

Shangguan Yutang was not sure about the specific situation, so he came to visit the master, so he naturally followed the local customs, called "Senior Cui" and followed Cui Yingying in.

Cui Yingying took her around Meishan for a long time, talking in a sensual and singular manner, and she was really a bit of a master. Finally, she brought her to the stone tablet and asked her to write something, saying that the rules could not be broken.

Shangguan Yutang knew that Meishan had such rules, so he thought about it for a while and wrote a few words casually.

Unexpectedly, an unknown formation was arranged in advance near the stone tablet. After she finished writing, Cui Yingying was gone. The scenery between the mountains and fields changed, trapping her inside the mountain and hearing the sounds outside:

"My friend Shangguan, everyone outside says you are awesome, I think you are too cautious; if you can't come out, just say hello, sister, let you out..."

Shangguan Yutang had a very good impression of Mei Jinshui, and he was not wary of it after entering the mountain gate. He was naturally dissatisfied with being yin. After breaking the formation, he grabbed Cui Yingying and tidied it up.

Later, Shangguan Yutang learned that Cui Yingying trapped her because Mei Jinshui admired her very much and often told Cui Yingying how powerful she was. She was not convinced and wanted to compete with her.

But Mei Jinshui didn't want the young Cui Yingying to come into contact with the disputes between the Immortal Sect. She only taught her medical skills and formations, and she could beat her up at all. She wanted to use the formation to make things difficult for her. Unexpectedly, the formation was also unlucky and was beaten up.

Cui Yingying grew up being held in the palm of her hand by Mei Jinshui since she was a child. She was beaten for the first time in her life. You can imagine how she felt.

Since then, Cui Yingying has been arguing with her. If she has something to do, she will come to trouble her. If she can’t beat her, she will start from other places, such as her “clothing is dirty”, “like a man”, and so on.

Shangguan Yutang has been wandering around since childhood. Beautiful looks are not a good thing for her. She has always been dressed up by a man, has a tough and decisive personality, has no idea of ​​"I am a girl" at all, and is not good at socializing.

During the time in Meishan, he was ridiculed by Cui Yingying every day and could not beat Cui Yingying anymore. Shangguan Yutang was annoyed and gradually scolded him a few words like "crazy" and "embroidered pillows". Finally, he dressed up and signaled, "I am taller than you, my legs are longer than you, and my chest is bigger than you, what are you showing off?"

After a long time, the two of them will naturally become familiar.

Although they don’t like each other, I have to say that this period of time is a rare memory of Shangguan Yutang’s “playing with friends”.

People are not plants and trees, so who can be ruthless?

Shangguan Yutang is not ruthless, but because of the circumstances since childhood, she has not had the opportunity to contact her.

If possible, who doesn’t want to have parents who love them, teachers who care about them, brothers and sisters who fight and make fun of them, and tender and sweet partner.

It is precisely because there is no such thing that Shangguan Yutang takes every relationship very seriously.

But Shangguan Yutang's ambition since childhood was placed there, and she successfully sat in the position of "God", so she had to hide these emotions and hide them in positions that no one knew.

How could Shangguan Yutang have no feelings for Mei Jinshui? That was the first elder she met, the first elder she could fully trust and regard her as her own.

Mei Jinshui left today. Shangguan Yutang was unable to kill this old friend. He felt relieved.

But this kind of gratitude cannot be known to outsiders. Her current position is destined to meet Mei Jinshui ten thousand times, and she will kill her ten thousand times, and will not frown once.

So what if she feels guilty? If she doesn’t do such a thing, who else can do it?

Under the evening rain, Shangguan Yutang looked at the terrace halfway up the mountain, knowing that Cui Yingying was still angry, and was waiting there to settle the score with her.

But Shangguan Yutang never came to apologize, or coaxed Cui Yingying and gave the other party a step.

Because one day, Shangguan Yutang would kill Mei Nei Water with his hands, or die under Mei Nei Water with his hands.

They are different from each other, and this kind of thing cannot be avoided. Once they are done, they will be ruthless with Cui Yingying.

Since you will eventually be strangers, the deeper the relationship, the more you feel sad in the future. In this way, you don’t like each other and your relationship is neither far nor close, isn’t it better?

When it's really a stranger, Cui Yingying may be less worried...

Shangguan Yutang stood in the rain, raised his hand and touched the old stone tablet. After a moment of silence, he bowed to the location where Mei Jinshui once lived.

After the ceremony, Shangguan Yutang turned around and walked into the night, just like the past thousand years, coming and going in the wind and rain, and always alone...—

Rush silly

The fine raindrops sprinkled on the eaves outside the terrace, forming a rain curtain, blocking the mountains and rivers outside. Only Xiangyang City outside the mountain can be seen with a little light.

Zuo Lingquan stood at the edge of the terrace, and his standing posture had changed countless times. At this time, he gently stroked his fingers and looked at the Taohua Lord behind him with his light.

The dark red piano platform is placed in the middle of the terrace, with a brown carpet below. The piano platform has been collected, and it is replaced by several wine utensils.

The Peach Blossom Lord, wearing a spring shirt, no longer maintained the attitude of provoking trouble. He supported his left hand sideways, leaned against the piano platform, and swung his glass of glass with his fingertips. It seemed leisurely, but the anger in his eyes did not diminish, even worse than when he first came.

For the past half a day, it was more than enough for the ancestor Shangguan to go back and forth to Huajunzhou.

Since I haven't come here yet, it only means that one problem is that the ancestor doesn't care about them at all!

Zuo Lingquan knew that practicing should depend on himself in everything, and he did not want to worry about everything Shangguan Laozu took action.

But this matter is the ancestor's business, and it has nothing to do with him. What can he do here?

Seeing that the sky was dark and the whole world was quiet, and a chill came from time to time behind him. Zuo Lingquan felt more and more embarrassed. After a long silence, he turned around and tried to calmly say:

"Haha... Well... I don't have a deep relationship with Old Ancestor Shangguan. I just know each other. It's not important to ask Old Ancestor Shangguan to come here to ask for someone in person..."

"She feels that I dare not act ruthlessly on you!"

"No, no, how is it possible... eh?!"

Zuo Lingquan thought it was not good. Just as he was about to ease the atmosphere, his body rushed forward and came to the piano platform, pressing his hand on the platform.

Although the Lord of Peach Blossom had no expression on his face, his eyes were filled with anger. She pressed Zuo Lingquan's wrist and took out a tea knife with exquisite workmanship from her sleeve. She chopped her backhand towards Zuo Lingquan's finger.

This time it was fast and fierce, and it seemed like it was angry.

Zuo Lingquan's face changed suddenly, and his heart directly raised to his throat:

"Peach……"

Snap

The sound of the knife piercing through the piano platform came.

Zuo Lingquan was shocked and sweated in a cold sweat, but there was no pain. He looked down and saw that the extremely sharp tea knife fell and turned around, and he almost wiped his fingers through it.
To be continued...
