The Great Enlightenment

Chapter 329

"You always mention your master, which makes me a little curious, tell me about your past, okay?"

On the edge of the divination platform, which is thousands of feet high, a blazing wind swept across and roared. She turned her head slightly, and a bright water-blue ribbon on her arm fluttered with the wind, caressing the young Taoist's face. .

Yuan Qing stretched out his hand and grabbed the silk sash flying wildly in front of him, looked at the girl's white face like jade, still a little afraid to meet her clear eyes, lowered his head slightly, and said: "Princess Hanchi wants to know what?"

Princess Hanchi stared at Yuan Qing with her head sideways without blinking, and let the three thousand black hairs fly in the violent wind, until the young Taoist's cheeks were a little blushing, then he smiled, turned his head, and looked at Yuan Qing. Looking down at the vast demon city under the divination platform through heavy clouds and mists, he said softly: "Then you can tell me, your master."

On the unattainable star divination platform, apart from the beautiful voice of the girl, there is only the unobstructed roar of the wind.

After a long silence, Yuan Qing took down the sandalwood talisman sword from his waist, stroked the intricate patterns carved on it slowly, and said in a low voice: "Master once said, I am his doom."

The princess in a blue dress raised her eyebrows, but she didn't speak. Instead, she stretched out her small hand to stroke the hair beside her ears, and sat obediently on her knees, listening to the young Taoist's narration.

……

Ever since I can remember, I have never known who my parents are. In my memory, only Master raised me up. Master not only taught me seal script, demon script, spells and talismans, but also bestowed on me many supernatural powers. Unpredictable magical powers.

But there is one thing I still can't understand, that is, the master always appears in the daytime, but at night, the master seems to disappear out of thin air, no matter how much I cry, how I kneel and beg, in the huge Taoist temple It seemed that I was the only creature left, and I could never forget the feeling of loneliness that was completely abandoned by the world.

Master is a handsome and handsome man, he is very good-looking, but there is always worry and hesitation between his eyebrows and eyes, the sense of loneliness that Master inadvertently reveals makes me feel deeply Feeling anxious, I often fear that one day when I wake up from a nightmare, Master will really disappear and never appear again.

On weekdays, when I was practicing mantras and supernatural powers, Master would always hold a scroll of ancient books and meditate by himself, and it has been like this every day for more than ten years.

One day I asked my master, "Master's merits are involved in good fortune, and his supernatural powers are unpredictable. What kind of weird ancient books are there that even Master can't understand?"
At this time, the master's eyes revealed a kind of sadness and loneliness that I couldn't understand, as if if he couldn't penetrate this ancient book, he would lose something.

There is a scroll of star maps hidden in the master's study room. Apart from holding the scroll of ancient books, what the master likes to do most is to reflect the light curtain of the star map and stare blankly at the dozens of stars in the northwest corner. Xingchen was in a daze.

The master told me that it belongs to the Zhoutian star realm governed by the 33 heavenly courts. As for the dim stars in the corner, they are the Taibai star and its 39 affiliated stars in the upper palace of the West Pole.

The upper palace of the West Pole guards countless stars in the sky, and the Taibai stars are just a drop in the ocean, as tiny as dust.

Master said that it used to be his hometown.

Every time Master looks at the star chart in a daze, I can take the opportunity to ask some things that I would not dare to ask in normal times. At this time, Master will not blame me, but will answer them carefully, unless I Ask about that.

That matter is what Master kept silent about, and it is also what I most want to know.

Where did I come from and who were my parents.

Regarding this matter, Master never revealed anything until one day three years ago, Master called me into his study.

The Taoist temple in the mountain is not too big, it is just a simple courtyard with two entrances and two exits. Master's study is located in the deepest part of the Taoist temple, and it is also the place I most yearn for on weekdays.

Master asked me if living in a Taoist temple is very boring.

I dare not answer. Although I have many mysterious and magnificent imaginations about the world outside the Taoist temple, Master never let me leave the Taoist temple, so I never brought it up again.

Master said, the time has come, you can leave.

I raised my head to look at Master, his face was still clear and handsome, his eyes were filled with indelible coldness as before, no different from the past.

I didn't feel that Master was scaring me on purpose, I just felt extremely flustered in my heart, and quickly knelt down on the ground, but Master personally helped me up.

Master lowered his head and looked at me steadfastly, and finally said that sentence that I had heard in countless nightmares.

He is leaving.

Ever since I was born, only Master has been with me. What I look forward to most every day is to get up from the couch at Maoshi, hurriedly open the door of the Taoist temple, and look up to see Master's deep and quiet gaze.

After that day, I lived in a daze for several days, and one day, I slowly opened the viewing door, and only the green and vast mountains came into view, and the noisy singing of birds, beasts and cicadas came into my ears.

Master's name sounds nice, and his name is Yuan Jian.

The master said that the Taoism and talismans he taught me were too mysterious and unpredictable. Before leaving, he deliberately sealed them up, and even stripped my cultivation base to the state of mind-fire tracing, and let me practice from scratch. rise.

Master asked me to look for a place called "Liusha River Boundary". He said that only there can I find my true self and... have a chance to see him again.

……

Bu Xingtai.

The blazing wind became more and more violent, Princess Hanchi looked up at him with her small face, turned slightly sideways, and gently leaned her head on the young Taoist's thin shoulder.

Yuan Qing sniffed the fragrance of the girl's hair, but this time he did not avoid it, but let the girl lean on him, and stared with her at the billowing clouds and mist under the divination platform.

"Your master must have his own difficulties, and he will not leave you so easily," Princess Hanchi comforted softly, "The 'Liusha River boundary' is an ancient name, which has long been no longer used, and now only It's just the waters of the Quicksand River."

Yuan Qing lowered his head, looked at the girl's clear and fair side face, and said, "Where is the real boundary of Liusha River?"

"Now this vast and boundless Zhuzi Yao Kingdom is the former Liusha River." Princess Hanchi raised her head, "Have you read the ancient book that your master has never penetrated?"

Yuan Qing's lips moved slightly, but in the end he didn't continue to speak, and fell silent.

He had secretly read that volume of ancient books, and had already memorized it by heart.

The ancient book was not too long, and there were two sentences in it, which even made his soul tremble every time he read it, with an unimaginable sense of trance above his soul.

"Where we meet, there is either a fairy or a Tao, sit quietly and talk about Huangting."

Master's master's background is too terrifying, and it's the only thing he didn't tell Princess Hanchi.

The Lingtai is a square inch, with three stars on an oblique moon.
