Crucian carp cultivating immortals

"Grandpa, does grandpa eat fish tonight?" The little girl with two pigtails raised her red face and looked at the old man beside her.

"Haha, that's not it, it's for the little brother." The white-haired old man beside him patted the little girl's head and said with a smile.

"Why? I want to eat too."

"Because my little brother is sick and needs to make up his body."

The little girl thought for a while with her fingers in her mouth, then tilted her head and looked at the old man, "I know, he will recover after eating fish, so he can wake up and play with me, isn't it, isn't it, Grandpa? "

Seeing how the little girl was about to praise me, the old man couldn't help laughing, "Yes, yes, my daughter is the smartest."

The little girl was praised, with a big smile on her face, her eyes bent into two crescents, and after a while the crescents turned into full moons, filled with shame, her little feet rubbed against the ground a few times, holding the old man back He said in a small voice, "But I still want to eat, so grandpa just eat a little bit, really a little bit." While talking, he gestured with the tip of his little finger, "Just a little bit, okay?"

Seeing this, the old man couldn't help laughing, "Okay, when the time comes, I'll give you a little bit."

The two walked towards the cabin, the setting sun dragged their figures longer, the old and the young were very harmonious...

Ji Yu woke up amidst a burst of noise. When she opened her eyes, she felt stinging pain. After a while, she regained her sight.I took a look at the environment I was in. It was a small wooden house with simple facilities. I shook my head and tried to run the spiritual power in my body, but found that it still couldn't work, and my spiritual consciousness couldn't be released at the moment. Got a rough idea...

The small wooden door was slowly pushed open, and an old man walked in with a bowl, "Young man, you are awake."

Ji Yu wanted to get up and get out of bed but was held down by the old man and pushed back, "You are still hurt and need a good rest."

Ji Yu nodded and leaned back on the bed obediently, her dark eyes quietly looked at the old man in front of her, "Old man, did you save me?"

The old man smiled when he heard the words, "I can't say it was rescued, but I just saw you being washed to the shore by the waves and brought you back. Come on, this is the freshly boiled fish soup, drink it quickly, you are weak now, eat it Nothing else, drink some fish soup to make up."

Ji Yu was silent for a while ╭(°a°`)╮, and after a while, she looked away from the fish soup and nodded, "Okay, thank you."

"Grandpa, did grandpa's little brother drink? Is he awake?" A cheerful voice came from outside the door accompanied by the sound of footsteps.

The half-hidden door was knocked open with a bang, and the little guy seemed to be taken aback by himself, he quickly closed the door, and approached lightly.

"Little brother, you're awake. Grandpa is right. You can wake up after drinking the fish soup." As he spoke, his eyes lingered on the overcrowded pottery bowl at the table, and his throat rolled suspiciously. Looking at Ji Yu, he laughed and said, "Well, are you unable to finish drinking? If not, I can help...Hey, grandpa, why are you dragging me?"

The old man picked up the little girl who was drooling at the pottery bowl and walked out, "Little brother still needs to rest, so we won't bother you." When he went out, he scolded the little girl funny and angrily, "Ninny, you are a girl You have to look like a girl, you can't be in..."

Ji Yu listened to the rambling voices outside, and thinking of the situation just now, the corners of her mouth could not help but bend, her eyes gradually drifted away, "Master..."

During the few days of getting along, Ji Yu learned that the grandparent and grandson need to go to the mountain to collect herbs every morning and return at sunset. He was discovered by the two when they were collecting herbs, and the herbs they picked would be sent to the town after drying. In exchange for the necessities of life.

Since Ji Yu was able to get out of bed, she went up to the mountains with her grandparents and grandson to collect herbs every morning. In the first two days, because she was not familiar with the herbs, she didn't gain much, and the rest of the days were full of rewards.

At the beginning, Ji Yu wanted to collect herbs, but the old man didn’t allow it, and asked Ji Yu to heal his injuries first. However, when the old man went up the mountain, Ji Yu kept silently falling behind him, and couldn’t be driven away, so the old man just let him go. With Ji Yu's joining, she can exchange more money on weekdays, and the quality of life in the log cabin has risen sharply. The more days she can eat meat, the little girl is happy to see her every day.

Ji Yu is also taking the time to repair his body. Now his meridians are broken, his spiritual energy can't be used, and he can't contact his master. If he wants to go back to the sect, he won't know how to go to the year of the monkey with his legs, and according to his current state, even if he can return to the sect The door is not necessarily safe, because Ji Yu suspects that besides Zhao Xuan, there should be someone behind him, otherwise it is impossible to dare to attack near Zhengtianzong, unless someone helps him cover it.And who had the ability to cover up such a big movement during the fight that day?

Suddenly a person popped up in my mind, could it be him?

"How is it?" A soft voice sounded.

"Let him escape, but now he is seriously injured."

"I was seriously injured, and someone escaped!" It seemed that I found my tone was a bit serious, and the voice became gentle again, "It's okay, since I escaped, I will catch it back, do you know what to do?"

"I know, but I don't know where he is at the moment, what if he returns to the sect?" the man hesitated.

"Then let him come and go!"

The sun was just right, and Ji Yu and the three of them were drying medicinal materials in the small yard in front of the wooden house. Ji Yu accidentally saw the old man's outstretched hands and was stunned. There were thick calluses on his hands, as if he had noticed Ji Yu's surprised eyes, the old man looked at his hands along his eyes, and said with a smile, "This is left when you were young, young man, you are also a swordsman, right?" .”

Ji Yu nodded when he heard the words, and the old man continued to laugh, "The young man's sword should be good."

Ji Yu hesitated for a moment this time, and finally shook his head, "No, one stroke of a sword can stand upright against a mountain, and I'm far from enough."

The old man shook his head, "The old man doesn't know what kendo is, he only knows what a sword is. The sword in the old man's hand doesn't stand upright on a high mountain, but it can be used if it can be used. It is a good sword if you use it well. Yes, remember the current sword."

"Grandpa, what are you talking about, grandpa?" The little girl ran over and grabbed the old man's skirt.

The old man smiled and patted Ji Yu's shoulder, then shook his head at the little girl, "This is a secret with your little brother."

"Secret what secret? Grandpa, grandpa..."

"If you don't look up at a high mountain, it's fine if you can use it..." Ji Yu couldn't help feeling a little lost.

In the middle of the night, when the dew was heavy, Ji Yu pushed open the door, and came to the small yard holding the long sword in his hand. Under the sky full of stars, one person danced the sword alone. What is a sword?What is Tao?What is Kendo?The long sword in his hand kept on, and the starlight was chopped into pieces by the cold sword and scattered in the courtyard.

The old man stood silently watching the young man practicing sword in the yard. An hour later, Ji Yu took a sword flower and retracted the long sword in his hand, looking at the old man diagonally behind him, "Did it bother you?"

"No, boy, your sword tells me that you are confused. What are you confused about? Do you mind telling me?"

Ji Yu looked at the wise eyes of the old man who had gone through vicissitudes, and nodded, "I don't understand my sword?"

"Don't understand your sword? Haha, the sword is not that complicated. Your sword is the sword in your hand. As for the sword in your heart, it depends on your heart." The old man looked at Ji Yu with distant eyes, "I miss you When I was so old, I didn’t have so many thoughts, in my eyes, a sword is a sword, and it would be nice to have a sword of my own.”

"what about now?"

"Now, everything can be a sword."

Ji Yu stared at the old man in surprise.

"Haha, don't you believe me? My old bone should be too old to move, so I'll show you." He picked up a broken branch from the ground and stood in the courtyard without making any movements. The feeling of people is completely different. Ji Yu's mind is clamoring for danger. The old man holds a branch in his hand and makes a gesture. The branch seems to be endowed with life, dancing under the starlight, and the gentle night wind holds the sword Wu, the shattered stars dazzle people's eyes...

The wind stopped and the sword stopped, Ji Yu was still a little absent-minded, looking at the old man who walked over as usual, "I am old, cough, cough, and my back hurts when I move a few times. It really can't do it."

"You can practice, use martial arts to enter the Tao..."

The old man waved his hand and looked at Ji Yu with a smile in his eyes, "No need, you have to practice early, and you don't have to wait until now."

"Why?" Ji Yu looked at the old man with some doubts, "You must love swords very much?"

"Love the sword? Yes, it is an integral part of my life after all."

"Then why don't you practice? It's obviously possible to enter the Dao with martial arts. If you practice, you can have a longer life and more time to hone your swordsmanship."

"Yes, I love swords, but I love life more than swords."

"I love life more, what is life?" Ji Yu looked up at the old man.

"Life is the world of mortals, with joys, sorrows, sorrows, and a hundred years of life. People may forget what they want at the beginning after living for a long time. Living is actually a very interesting thing, but living for a long time turns this fun into It’s boring, when you have been to all the places, tasted all the delicacies, and tried all the customs, then what’s the point of being alive, repeating what you have done before, without any suspense And anticipation, because time is enough for you to know everything, and a hundred years of life is just right, some places have never been, some regrets have not been fulfilled, and I will look forward to the next life, and in the next life, everything is new, and every part of the world is beautiful It's all waiting for you to discover, it's enough to surprise you, how wonderful, this is what I love, so much so that I pursue, life is the unknown and the expectation."

"So you love it more than the sword? The sword is endless, and it is also full of unknowns and expectations. I don't understand. Why?"

The old man smiled, as if he was looking at his ignorant grandson, "There is no reason, because my heart tells me so. The sword is a part of my life, but not all. One day you will eventually meet someone who makes you There is something more important than love sword, you will understand when the time comes."

Ji Yu froze in place upon hearing this...

The old man turned around and walked into the house, and there was a faint sigh, "It really looks like me back then..."
