Chapter 710 It’s up to You to Claim It

It was indeed an ordinary family banquet. The peasant woman's skills were average, and the dishes were nothing special. They were just a plate of dried tofu, a plate of stir-fried vegetables, a plate of sliced ​​bacon, and a plate of peanuts sprinkled with fine salt. , two bowls of brown rice and a pot of bad wine. In the dark room, Fang Xing sat opposite the village woman. He finished the meal in silence, drank the pot of bad wine, and the village woman stood up. After clearing away the cups and plates, he made a cup of tea for Fang Xing in a thick earthenware cup and brought it to him. Then he sat down lightly next to him and looked at each other in silence.

"Did you come here specifically to see me?"

After a long silence, the village woman smiled softly, revealing a face that could not be hidden by her coarse clothes.

Fang Xing smiled and shook his head, saying: "Actually, I never knew you were here!"

The village woman nodded, and there was silence for a while before she asked softly: "I've heard about you, where have you been in the past few years?"

Fang Xing said with a smile: "It's just wandering around!"

The village woman's eyes fell on him with some concern, and she hesitated: "Why...I feel your breath..."

Fang Xing picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "It's useless!"

The village woman's hand trembled, and the sole of her shoe fell to the ground. She looked at Fang Xing almost in shock: "How could this happen?"

Fang Xing was too lazy to answer. He smiled and said, "What about you? Why does the majestic female fairy Ye Guyin live in seclusion here?"

After hearing the word "female fairy", the village woman fell silent. After a long time, she sighed.

"My Taoist heart is ruined!"

After a long time, she spoke softly: "A lot of things happened after you left Fengchan Mountain. So many Chinese monks were inspired by you and Senior Sister Li to practice hard and make great progress. But I don't know why. , when I first went to China, so many people insulted me and bullied me, and I gritted my teeth and accepted it. But after you broke the ten formations of Fengzen Zen, everything started to develop in a good direction, but my Taoist heart was unstable. At that time, I was already half a step into the cultivation of the golden elixir. However, no matter how hard I tried, I was still unable to form the elixir. On the contrary, the more I practiced, the more unstable my state became. When I was anxious, I even appeared to be obsessed with it. !”

She bit her lip lightly and was silent for a while, then sighed softly and said: "I don't know what went wrong. Please ask the teacher, but he was helpless. He only said that my Taoist mind was already unstable and it would be very dangerous to continue practicing." Dangerous things finally showed me a way, which is to go to the immortal world and live a good life for a few years. Maybe I can find the shortcomings of my Taoist heart, so I came here and guarded the world for the other four seniors. Tomb, secondly, I came here to calm myself down and think about things!”

"Getting used to it?"

Fang Xing asked with a smile.

Ye Guyin gave a bitter smile and said: "I couldn't get used to it at first. Even if I lived in Bingyin Palace and had countless people serving and taking care of me, I still got used to it. Later, I simply gave up everything and just regarded myself as a village woman, living alone in Now, I’m getting used to it!”

"Well, you can get used to it!"

Fang Xing nodded and said nothing for a long time.

After finishing the cup of tea, night had fallen. Fang Xing put down the cup of tea and stood up with a puff of sleeves.

Ye Guyin also stood up, looked at the night outside, hesitated for a moment, and said: "It's getting dark, let's go tomorrow!"

Fang Xing turned to look at her, thought for a moment, smiled softly, and walked out the door.

Ye Guyin's body trembled and she lost her voice: "Are you still unwilling to forgive me?"

Fang Xing turned around and said with a strange expression: "No..."

However, Ye Guyin's eyes looked a little miserable and she smiled miserably: "Then why don't you even want to stay one night?"

Fang Xing's expression became even weirder: "My donkey hasn't been fed yet..."

…

…

The red-faced Ye Guyin went to clean up the room, while Fang Xing slowly walked to the yard, took a hug of the grass that Ye Guyin had left to feed the pigs, and threw it to the stubborn donkey that sometimes quarreled with him, and then Back in the room, Ye Guyin had already packed out the woodshed, but planned to let Fang Xing live in her room while she lived in the woodshed. Fang Xing entered the woodshed without any explanation.

The night was bright and starry, and darkness enveloped the earth, making it eerily quiet.

Fang Xing was lying on the bed, with his arms pillowed on his pillow, and his body covered with a coarse cotton back, which was warm in the sun.

He didn't know how long he waited before hallucinations appeared in front of his eyes.

A fairy in white clothes descended from the sky, her skin was better than snow, and her white jade was flawless. Her pair of slender breasts were half covered by the white skirt, but they were looming in the hazy light. Her crystal-clear and flawless feet were stepping on the void little by little, lightly. She walked towards him gracefully, and fell on his body like a veil. Her beautiful face looked at Fang Xing, her eyes were gentle, and she got closer and closer to Fang Xing.

"does it worth?"

Fang Xing opened his eyes and looked at the person in front of him.

"Do you know why my Taoist heart is unstable?"

The woman's eyes were blurry, and she came closer to Fang Xing, as if she was talking in a dream, but she could not control herself with sadness: "After the Fengchan battle, the northern region of China was in chaos. No one can tell the situation clearly, but in short, things are starting to turn for the better. It has developed. I, the monk Nanzhan, have gone through ups and downs, and finally have my own hope. You should know the relics of Taishang Taoism. They have given a lot of help to the Daxue Mountain lineage, and finally gained a foothold, allowing monk Nanzhan to have To gain a foothold, for this matter, there was once a great scholar from Beishen Mountain who resisted the pressure of the imperial family and wrote a book of lofty clouds, commenting on the thirty-six saints who made great contributions in the process of establishing the Dao of China in the south... ...I am also among them, but I have been troubled by this reputation all day long...Junior Brother Fang, I'm sorry...I could have gone up to the mountain to fight at that time, but I chose to stand by and watch in the end...I have regretted it for many years. Already..."

Fang Xing was slightly startled: "Is such a small thing ruining your Taoist heart?"

Ye Guyin chuckled: "It just makes me understand that I am far from being as proud as I thought..."

Fang Xing stopped talking. For the first time, he felt that this long-legged girl was not so annoying.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. When I returned to Nanzhan, my master once said that if I really want to understand the true way of the mortal world, forge a mortal mind, and grasp the true meaning of the mortal world, I should marry a mortal and live a down-to-earth life. But I always I just can’t bear to be cruel…”

Ye Guyin slowly leaned on Fang Xing and said in a deep voice: "You are a mortal now, everything is just right!"

Fang Xing smiled slightly and was about to speak, but Ye Guyin covered his mouth: "Don't embarrass me!"

If you just stop talking, wouldn't it embarrass others if you talk again?

The soft white light gradually faded away, but there was a slight sound of gunfire in the woodshed.

…

…

I don’t know how much time passed, but the movement in the woodshed gradually became weaker, and only a faint fragrance filled the room.

Suddenly, there was a bright light in the room, and Ye Guyin, who had a crystal body, lit up the woodshed with a ball of brilliance. She looked at Fang Xing with a somewhat shocked expression, then looked down at herself, her brows furrowed tightly. He seemed to have something to say.

Fang Xing sighed softly and said, "Do you understand?"

Ye Guyin bit her lip, nodded slightly, and said, "How could this happen?"

Fang Xing put his hands behind his head, smiled bitterly, and said, "Although my Taoist foundation has been damaged, the physical changes brought about by my practice are still there. Back then, someone built the eight extraordinary meridians in my body. The ninth meridian outside the body exists. When I have cultivation in my body, the female body will be fed back into my body. But now that I have no cultivation in my body, it is like an abyss that cannot be filled. , will extract the opponent's source of energy. I used to have cultivation and could still control it, but now I can no longer control this ninth channel. You have cultivation, but you are only slightly aware of it, and the loss will start. If she were a mortal woman, I’m afraid she would have lost her life by now!”

Ye Guyin frowned tightly, then his eyes suddenly brightened, and said: "If this is the case, your cultivation level..."

Fang Xing smiled bitterly, waved his hand and said, "This method won't work!"

Ye Guyin stopped talking. With a flick of his finger, the light gradually dimmed. In the room, Fang Xing's breathing suddenly became heavier.

"...You don't have to restrain yourself. After all, I still have some cultivation. You can take whatever you want this night..."

"well……"

Fang Xing sighed loudly, and after a while, he suddenly cursed: "Damn it, then I won't be polite!"

…

…

Fang Xing lived in a farmhouse around the snow-capped mountains for half a year. Every day he worked at sunrise and rested at sunset, chopping firewood, cutting grass, hoeing and hunting, and helping Ye Guyin do some small farm work. In his spare time, he Talking to Ye Guyin, I just avoided all the familiar people and the principles of practice. Every time I felt speechless, I felt that this woman who was originally aloof but had lost all her glory seemed to be a different person. The tranquility during the day and the craziness at night always gave Fang Xing an unreal feeling of alienation.

Half a year later, he knew that he could no longer live there. Ye Guyin's plump face was already a little thin.

And he also felt some kind of indescribable boredom towards this peaceful life.

This dull life is really not suitable for me...

"Your Taoist heart is damaged because you are a proud person and look down on yourself. Naturally, your Taoist heart cannot be stable. To put it bluntly, you still want to lose face. There is no use in compensating me in the way you think is right. I don't think there's anything wrong with what you did, and I can't say that I don't forgive you. It's not me who can't let go, but you. Having said that, it would be better if you were thicker-skinned. It's not like that. What's wrong with your inner demon? But if you can't grow up thick-skinned, then do more things that suit your heart. Otherwise, you won't be able to find your Taoist heart even if you live here for a hundred years. I'm leaving, take care of yourself! "

In the early morning, Fang Xing took the green donkey and set off on the road again. Ye Guyin, dressed in purple, saw him off at the entrance of the courtyard.

Once again embarking on a long journey, Fang Xing headed towards the northwest of the Chu Territory. For some reason, he felt homesick.

"Ghost Smoke Valley hasn't been taken care of for a long time. Isn't it time for it to be overgrown with weeds?"
