[Xiu Xian] Master, let's talk about life

033

A woman in a black Taoist robe, combing her hair in a bun, sat on a futon.

Although the facial features are exquisite, for some reason they give people a dull feeling, and the dark eyes are like a chaotic world.

For some reason, Chen Xiuping felt that he was nervous, and there was sweat on his back. He remembered what his master said before passing through the teleportation circle set up by Cheng Yin: "I know that Mo Qiushi is this person, there is no doubt about it. , she will not save Yuan and abide by the rules—but it is not difficult to get her to save Yuan and abide by the rules, and you will know when the time comes."

What he said was vague, but it also had the characteristics of a cultivator who followed fate. Chen Xiuping recalled Cheng Yin's words, and bowed deeply: "Elder Mo, excuse me."

Qiu Yuan knelt aside and bowed with him.

Mo Qiushi nodded lightly, and suddenly with a wave of her robe sleeves, there was an extra set of tea sets on the low table in front of her. She asked softly, "Would you like tea?" Her voice was like clouds on a distant mountain, ethereal and hard to find. .

Chen Xiuping and Qiu Yuan looked at each other, then saluted again: "Thank you, Elder Mo."

Mo Qiushi smiled lightly. At first glance, she might easily make people feel unapproachable, but after a little getting along with her, people will immediately feel her gentleness and amiability. For example, at this moment she is carrying He smiled and said, "I know what's going on with you, so don't be nervous."

Chen Xiuping plucked up his courage and said, "Elder Mo, we already have clues to Yuan Shouru's whereabouts. I hope you can..."

"I won't go." Before Chen Xiuping finished speaking, Mo Qiushi interrupted him, she still had a shallow smile on her face, but at this moment she gave people a sense of rejection, "I There is no obligation to go and follow the rules, so I won't go."

"What kind of obligation is this?" Chen Xiuping suddenly became anxious and almost stood up, but Qiu Yuan tugged on his sleeve, and Chen Xiuping had to sit down again.

Mo Qiushi gently pushed the brewed tea in front of them, and the clear green tea exuded a refreshing fragrance. Chen Xiuping smelled the tea and felt that he had really calmed down. Then he heard Mo Qiushi speak——

"Let me tell you a story."

Mo Qiushi's voice was leisurely and ethereal, and seemed to be accompanied by a shallow sigh. As soon as he opened his mouth, Chen Xiuping and Qiu Yuan were immersed in it in a trance.

"A long time ago, there was a little girl who lived in a place called Jiangzhou. Her family was a big family in the area, so she was carefree since she was a child. She didn't know how much suffering there was in the world. Her only worry was that she liked herself. Daddy's big apprentice, her own senior brother, but this worry is nothing to worry about, because after knowing her girlish thoughts, her dad made a marriage contract for the two of them, and when they are old, they will marry him."

"However, there is no such thing as a smooth and good story in this world. When this little girl was 16 years old, when the senior brother was traveling abroad, he met another girl. Only then did the senior brother know that there is still a kind of emotion in this world, which can be so strong that it can be ignored." Everything—but the senior brother finally couldn't ignore everything, he decided to come back and marry his junior sister, but this relationship is enough to change him, this change is subtle, but the junior sister can discover it."

"However, junior sister—that is, that little girl, what can she understand? She just feels that senior brother is a little different, and he doesn't seem to love her as much as in the past, but she can only comfort herself by saying that a virtuous wife is not good at all. It should be too much trouble for the husband, originally, maybe life went on like this, but that woman came to the door."

Speaking of this, Mo Qiushi suddenly showed a different smile than before. There seemed to be nostalgia in this smile, and there seemed to be a more intense emotion, which Chen Xiuping couldn't see.

"That woman is an immortal." Mo Qiushi said so, then looked up at Chen Xiuping and Qiu Yuan, and explained, "For mortals, monks like us are immortals, so that woman is actually an immortal. It's a monk."

"But for mortals, this is already a big deal. The little girl's parents quarreled for the first time. The father thought that an immortal should not be offended, but the mother thought that even an immortal should not steal other people's husbands. But in the end, it was still Because she didn't want to offend the gods in the sky, the marriage contract was broken, and the woman promised the little girl a fairy fate, so after the marriage contract was broken, the little girl was directly established through the spiritual veins, and then sent to the fairy sect. For hundreds of years, I have never seen my brother and that woman again."

"Until, 25 years ago."

Chen Xiuping stared blankly at Mo Qiushi, fully understanding that Mo Qiushi was the little girl whose fiancé was robbed, but what he immediately felt was not sympathy, but a kind of absurdity. The man in black in front of the tea table has such a past.

Mo Qiushi continued: "25 years ago, that nun found me again."

Mo Qiushi finally revealed the protagonist in the story: "I was already a Nascent Soul cultivator at that time, but I still felt that she was unfathomable, but such an unfathomable senior, holding a baby in his arms, seemed like Facing the end of the road, with a haggard face and a crazy expression, she looked at me, stared at me for three days and three nights, and suddenly laughed and said: "If you want to plant flowers and flowers will not bloom, but if you don't want to plant willows and willows to make shade, you have a real fairy fate, but But he just went to the end.' Then he left the child, and left a volume of exercises, and drifted away."

There was a strange smile on Mo Qiushi's face: "Guess why? Yes, after 2000 years, the senior brother still has not passed the hurdle of cultivating immortals, and the death and dao disappeared. The senior brother has no immortal fate, but they have neither." Love."

The sentence "they have no love" made Chen Xiuping's heart tremble like a bell, he couldn't help thinking of himself and his master, he wondered if the master was amazingly beautiful, and he was indeed a mediocre person, whether he was also doomed to have no love.

However, amidst the shock, he straightened out all the relationships, knew that the baby was probably Yuan Shouru, and also understood why Mo Qiushi was unwilling to save Yuan Shouru—not only was he unwilling to save Yuan Shouru, he probably would have been scared to see him every day. Should you panic?

But Chen Xiuping immediately thought that after all, Mo Qiushi raised Yuan Shouru without emotion.

Mo Qiushi continued: "They are in love with each other. It is God's will for me to dissolve the engagement. It is kindness for her to send me the fairy fate. I repay her kindness and raise Da Yuan to abide by the rules. This is fair, but Yuan abides by the rules. If something happens to me, it's none of my business."

Chen Xiuping gritted his teeth and said, "I don't believe, I don't believe that you really don't have feelings for Yuan Shougui. Yuan Shougui has such deep feelings for you, and even thinks that his surname should be Mo. If it wasn't for feeling your care and love for him , I don't believe he would think that way."

Mo Qiushi's pair of chaotic eyes stared at Chen Xiuping deeply. When she heard Chen Xiuping's words, she couldn't help but feel a little turmoil, but soon fell silent again. After those black eyes fell silent, the corners of her mouth revealed With a wry smile, she said, "Yuan Shougui's father is called Yuan Yukong, and his mother is called Ying Nuan."

As soon as Mo Qiushi finished speaking, the teacup in Qiu Yuan's hand suddenly fell off, his eyes widened, and he looked at Mo Qiushi in surprise.

Mo Qiushi also seemed quite surprised: "I didn't expect you to know her name? I think you are not an ordinary person."

Qiu Yuan lowered his head and hid his gaze under the thick eyelashes: "I just heard it before."

Mo Qiushi said: "Most of the people who have heard her name are already dead, you don't need to hide it in front of me." Saying this, she sighed, "After that, I never saw Ying Nuan again, nor did I. I haven’t heard any news about her again, but it’s not uncommon for her to retreat somewhere.”

Chen Xiuping only felt at a loss, he looked at Qiu Yuan suspiciously, and asked, "Who? Yuan Yukong? Or Ying Nuan? Are you famous?"

Qiu Yuan said in a deep voice: "If there is no hate Taoist Ying Nuan, there should be quite a few people who have heard of it."

Now, the person who dropped the teacup became Chen Xiuping.

"I never expected that Yuan Shougui's background is so awesome."

Chen Xiuping and Qiu Yuan sat at the door of Mo Shougui's room, digesting the information they got.

"There are only a handful of Daoist Lords who have crossed the robbery. The original Shourui is so awesome. It seems that the future is limitless."

Qiu Yuan said with a blank expression, "I don't know what the future holds, and I can't save him now."

Chen Xiuping thought about it too, and he pursed his lips helplessly: "Master said that Yuan Shougui is now in Jinshi Pavilion, which is really the best opportunity."

"Cheng Yin... the elder also said that Elder Mo can be persuaded to succeed."

Chen Xiuping frowned: "I can't see how to persuade her, she seems very sure, in her words - she thinks it's fair, right? Although I really don't understand why this kind of thing can be measured by fairness .”

Qiu Yuan was very calm: "This is the starting point, as long as we are helping her and making her feel fair, that's fine."

Chen Xiuping blinked: "Is that so?"

Qiu Yuan stroked the scabbard with his fingers: "In my opinion, it is so."

Chen Xiuping sat on the steps and propped his chin with his hands: "But what can I do to help her? I even think I can help her save her son, but she thinks it's her helping us."

Qiu Yuan closed his eyes: "No, think about it carefully, Mo Qiushi must have something for us."

Chen Xiuping looked at Qiu Yuan: "I can't think of it. Apart from saying that she likes senior brother, was robbed of her fiancé, and didn't save Yuan Shourui, what else did she say? We can't save her fiancé, Wuhen Daojun Neither can."

"But why did she tell us this?" Qiu Yuan asked.

Chen Xiuping spread his hands: "How do I know, maybe I just want us to understand—wait, wait, is that so!" Chen Xiuping stood up, "If you think about it carefully, instead of mentioning her senior brother, she might as well Are you talking about Wuhen Daojun? Maybe this will make her agree to help us..."

Having said that, he immediately turned around and opened the door behind him.

"Elder Mo, as long as you can save Yuan and abide by the rules, we can do one thing for you..."
