Chapter 185: Homesickness
Although the voice was soft, it sounded like a loud bell in Li Chuyi's ears, and he couldn't help but be shocked and came back to his senses.
Giving Zi Yuan a grateful look, Li Chuyi sighed in his heart, knowing that he had just lost his mind. If Zi Yuan hadn't called him and allowed him to sink, the confusion and obsession would have continued to entangle him, causing him to have inner demons. In the end, he would have lost his Taoist heart and his soul would have died.
Hearing Zi Yuan talk about the alchemy furnace, he was full of enthusiasm before, but now he lacked interest.
Looking at the dust accumulated around him, Li Chuyi knew that these were the remnants of Danyangzi's physical body.
He took out an earthen jar as an urn and carefully collected the body ashes and put them into it. Li Chuyi looked at the earthen jar in his hand, relief gradually appearing on his face.
With a hint of apology, he bowed three times to the earthen jar.
"Senior Danyangzi, your old body has made me happy. I am extremely grateful. I will keep this kindness in my heart! Don't worry, I will try my best to help you fulfill your last wish, and I will also find a Feng Shui treasure for your ashes. Buried, I won’t let you drift around like this!”
After saying that, he took out a yellow towel, carefully wrapped the earthen jar, and put it into the storage bag carefully.
What he didn't know was that after he said these words, in the hall outside the stone room, the ink on the portrait suddenly flowed, and the middle-aged man's mouth moved slightly, revealing a smile of relief, and he followed the picture. , restored to its original state, as if nothing had happened.
After collecting Danyangzi's ashes and seeing that there was nothing else in the stone chamber, Li Chuyi sighed softly, turned around and walked out.
Coming to the alchemy room opposite, looking at the huge alchemy furnace in front of him, and recalling the control techniques left in the jade slips, Li Chu changed his hand seals continuously, activated his magic power crazily in the refining stage, and shot a palm in the air. On top.
With the correct combination of seals, the alchemy furnace was no longer dead silent. Under his palm, a deep bell sound suddenly erupted, and it trembled slightly. The huge alchemy furnace weighed no one knew how much it weighed. Although the vibration was slight, it also caused the ground to vibrate and stirred up bursts of flying ash.
"receive!"
With a low cry, the magic power in his palm was fully activated, and the alchemy furnace shook even more violently, but it did not start to shrink as he thought.
With a frown, Li Chu's thoughts flowed, urging the Tao seeds to rotate crazily. The mana in his dantian was violent to the extreme, and the impact made his dantian feel faintly broken.
At the beginning of his Qi training, his momentum reached its peak. Li Chuyi slightly retracted his palm, and then slapped the alchemy furnace heavily with his palm again.
"Collect it from me!"
This time the alchemy furnace finally reacted. Rays of brilliant light kept flowing along with the formation patterns on the body of the furnace. The huge body of the furnace was like an inflated balloon with a small eye pricked open. With Li Chuyi's urging, The movement begins to shrink. It was extremely slow at first, but the shrinking speed became faster and faster. Within a dozen breaths, the originally huge alchemy furnace that needed to be looked up became the size of a palm, and was held in Li Chuyi's hand like a plaything.
Touching the sweat on his forehead, Li Chuyi smiled slightly and put the alchemy furnace into the storage bag with a wave of his hand.
After his wish was fulfilled, he suddenly felt the intention to leave.
Counting the days, he has stayed in this cave for almost a year. For a monk, a year flies by like a fleeting moment. It is nothing at all. It may not even be enough time to enter meditation once, but for Li Chuyi, who is only a teenager, this is already a long time. .
Thinking that he had grown one year older without knowing it, Li Chuyi felt in a daze.
He has followed Taoist priests since he was a child, and he has lived a fulfilling life for more than ten years. All kinds of good and bad memories have now turned into beautiful memories that fill his mind, making him feel happy and satisfied every time he thinks about it. But since he left the Taoist priest, whether it was the Taixu Palace, the Fire Cloud Pit, the void or the hidden cave in the Mobei grassland, it was like a clear dream to him, somewhat unreal.
Looking back on my experiences over the past few years, there are few things worth remembering. In the impression, he was basically fighting for his life, practicing, fighting again, and practicing again. He didn't have many good memories left at all. Even these few memories gradually became blurred, and he didn't know when he would be forgotten.
There are only a few things that he can remember in his heart and never forget.
The lonely Ye Zhichen, Taoist Baijie who thought he was unlucky, Xue Qing who treated him like a family member, Xiao Yu who always made trouble for him, and the unforgettable tenderness in the fire cloud pit.
"Sister Yu, I wonder if you have been released from seclusion? Hehe, I am sixteen years old, I am no longer a child, and I have grown taller. I wonder if you will be surprised to see me!"
Thinking of Yu Yao, Li Chuyi felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart. I don't know if it was because of the tenderness when Huo Yunkeng embraced each other, but Yu Yao was a little different in his heart.
He is a young man, and his childishness has not completely faded away. At this time, Li Chuyi naturally didn't know what this difference meant.
He has followed an unorthodox master like a Taoist since he was a child. He has learned about the various aspects of life, the love between children, and even if he knows what is going on, when it comes to him, it is like a gauze covering his eyes, a leaf blocking his eyes, and he cannot see clearly. , and won’t think too much about it.
At this time, he just wanted to return to Taixu Palace as soon as possible, see these people again, practice in their company, and wait for the return of the Taoist priests.
As for the beautiful figure that haunted him, he just regarded it as a concern for Yu Yao who was seriously injured and had not been released from seclusion. As for why he was so concerned, he naturally would not delve into it.
I'm just worried about you. Are you going to bite me?
The sudden feeling of returning home made Li Chuyi feel anxious in his heart.
He couldn't wait to leave here, and tried his best to earn money to save travel expenses, and then went to the Black Ice Prison to see if he could take away the legendary treasure Tianquan Sword.
Thinking of this, he looked back at Zi Yuan and the five little dolls.
"Let's go!"
Although she didn't understand why Li Chuyi suddenly felt lonely, she naturally agreed with his suggestion to leave. Zi Yuan nodded lightly and followed him outside.
Although this is a cave, it is prepared for human monks. There is not a trace of death energy here, which is of no benefit to Zi Yuan's practice. If it weren't for Li Chuyi's magic mirror, the ghost power of Zi Yuan and the five little ones would have regressed over time, and Zi Yuan would have wanted to leave.
Arriving in the hall, Li Chuyi glanced at the only stone door that could not be opened and sighed helplessly.
He was very interested in what was behind the stone door, but it was not strong enough and there was no instructions for opening it in the jade slip. Li Chuyi could only look at the door and sigh.
Since there is no other way, there is no need to persist. Putting his thoughts aside, Li Chuyi slowly walked to the portrait, stood about ten steps away, and bowed to it.
"Uncle Painter, I have offended you so much before, I hope you won't take it to heart. Now I am ready to leave, and you are left alone here again, no, just a painting. I don't know how long it will take for someone to come again. I hope you won't be lonely. , don’t miss me either.”
With that said, he slowly walked to the incense table, brushed off the dust on the tribute plate, took out some fruits and put them on it, thought for a while and took out a roast chicken with a painful look on his face and placed it in the middle.
"Hey, I'm not someone who takes advantage and doesn't pay it back. I've lived in your house for so long, and these tributes are considered as your room fee. Even if you can't eat, you can just take a look when you have nothing to do, so you can save yourself watching this. The ground is covered with dust. My master said that people will become abnormal if they are lonely for a long time!"
The tribute plates were arranged one by one, and finally three sticks of incense were taken out and inserted into the incense burner. They lit it with a pinch of fire. The smoke curled up, and the incense table took on a certain appearance.
After waving at the portrait, Li Chuyi grinned.
"Uncle Hua, I'm leaving!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked out.
Only when the body was turned halfway, a strange phenomenon suddenly occurred. The scroll suddenly moved without wind and flew down to Li Chuyi on its own.
Facing Li Chuyi's face, the expression of the man in the painting did not change at all. However, Li Chuyi felt that the man's deep eyes were clearly looking into the distance, but they seemed to be looking at him carefully. Look around.
If you were a mortal, you would probably think it was ghosts and be frightened out of your mind, but as a monk, Li Chuyi has followed Taoist priests to exorcise demons to make money since he was a child. He also has a beautiful ghost like Zi Yuan by his side, so he naturally wouldn't think so. . He was slightly startled at first, but then his face was filled with joy.
"Uncle Hua, have you figured out that you want to come with me? I'm just saying, what's so good about being deserted here? Follow me and go see the world outside. That would be great!"
Looking at the unresponsive portrait floating in front of him, Li Chu rolled his eyes and patted his head in sudden realization.
"Oh, I know! Don't worry, we are so familiar with each other, there is no need to be so reserved. I won't care if you rejected me before! Don't worry, my promise to you remains unchanged, and I will definitely find you a picture if I have the opportunity in the future. The female painting will make you no longer lonely!"
With such a determined look as he patted his chest, even Zi Yuan, who was full of vigilance next to him, couldn't help but roll his eyes and wanted to slap him hard.
Naturally, the portrait was also very angry, and he would slap him as soon as he lifted the bottom of the scroll. Li Chuyi was startled and was about to hide, but he saw that the painting seemed to have lost his temper. The scroll he drew suddenly became gentle, and finally just touched his head gently. Knocking is like an elder giving a naughty junior a violent shock.
Rubbing his forehead, which didn't hurt much, Li Chuyi looked at the portrait in surprise.
Is this guy really a man? Not spiritual, but spiritual? !
You treat me so tenderly, do you think you are attracted to me?
Damn you Taoist priest, this painting doesn’t depict a man, it’s actually a woman, right?
Recalling the various teachings of the Taoist priests, he was thinking about the possibility of this kind of love that spanned such a large race. However, he saw that the painting ignored him after knocking him, and the windless wind automatically floated towards the road. The stone door cannot be opened.
In Li Chuyi's surprised eyes, the portrait was gently pressed against the door. Invisible energy appeared and struck everywhere on the door as if someone was slapping it. The formations on the door flashed everywhere.
The last burst of energy hit the center of the magic circle in the middle of the door. The stone door trembled slightly and slowly opened silently.
Looking at the dark gap, Li Chuyi looked at the portraits floating around as if showing off with a horrified expression, his heart pounding.
This guy is so good!
