【Pei Shui】Farewell

"The wind has been born, the spirit has been released, and it is done." Nangong Jie held up the jade that conveyed the soul, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said with a smile, "Next, he will recuperate in the Requiem Array for a period of time. In one month, at least seven days, Qingxuan will be able to wake up again. At that time, he can pick a piece of grass to reshape his body just like Brother Shui did before."

She looked at Shi Wudu again: "Senior Brother Shui, are you going to make one after you go back this time, or do you want to wait for Qingxuan to come together?"

Shi Wudu did not pretend to think: "It is with Qingxuan!"

Hearing this, Pei Ming was overjoyed and said, "Senior Brother Shui, can he make it again?"

"As long as the vitality is not extinguished and the spiritual consciousness is complete."

"But what if it's really going to be a month later, senior brother Shui... it's... too late, what should we do?" Pei Ming was worried again.

"The ancient fairy god recorded in the secret code did not use this method more than half a year after his death. Didn't he still return his soul? Old Pei, don't worry..."

He Xuan heard it, and looked up at Zhenjun Lingwen.Although he knew it was impossible, there was still some vague expectation floating in his eyes.

Nangong understood, and pointed to his Lingtai, the result was the expected regret: "Your Excellency Heishui, you have been dead for a long time..."

He Xuan nodded, feeling relieved.

With Shi Qingxuan's soul, the three poisonous tumors returned to Beihai together.Heishui Shenzhou also went with him.Because he has a share in replenishing the soul, and Shi Wudu has confirmed that he will not hurt Shi Qingxuan, there is no objection.And Nangong and Pei Ming knew that He Xuan would not seek revenge from Shi Wudu easily, so they also tacitly allowed him to stay in Xianshan.

Since Xianjing was destroyed, it was difficult to recover in a short period of time, and the catastrophe had just ended, and there were many affairs and there was no delay, so Xianshan, which was originally used as a refuge and war hall, became a temporary office.Fortunately, the priests were not swarming on the mountain, staying here was just a place to communicate and discuss, and then returned to the world in batches.

To others, this thrilling battle lasted only a few days; but to Zhenjun Lingwen, this battle started several months ago.She worked hard on the front line, and worked hard at the rear; her great achievements are all told to others, which can't make up for the huge consumption.After Shi Qingxuan's soul was settled, Nan Gongjie buried him in the room and didn't go out for seven days - he had a big sleep in the first three days, and rested for the next four days.It's not that she wants to be lazy, it's just that a string has been taut for too long, if it doesn't relax, it will really break.

Although it is said that affairs cannot be left alone, Shui Hengtian stood up in the hall during the discussion, and talked about it in elegant terms, which translates to "If you dare to disturb Jieqing's rest, I will dare to stuff the scroll into your belly."Ming Guang put the saber on the table, and sat down with his arms folded to the side for Shi Wudu, who had returned to his position, with the words "If you dare to oppose him, I will dare to oppose you" written on his face.Since then, the number of priests who came to Lingwen courtyard to poke their heads out suddenly dropped sharply.

However, chores can be postponed, and some important official documents really cannot be left alone.Xie Lian has been staying in the world, and he doesn't care about copywriting; Taihua is not good at this, and Qiying who has long since chased Yinyu away is not to mention.In the end, only Shi Wudu and Pei Ming could help approve some after finishing their respective important matters.But the processing speed of the two is far behind the speed of scroll accumulation.Shui Hengtian was quick to think, and suddenly thought that there was another idler who could serve as a laborer, so he immediately went to the back mountain.

Most of the villas are built in the front mountain, and the shade of the mountain is relatively quiet; everyone set up a small courtyard here alone, as a place for Shi Qingxuan to nourish his soul.After He Xuan came with him that day, he lived in the courtyard confidently and stood by the requiem formation, never leaving a single step.At the beginning, Huacheng heard that He Xuan had compromised his cultivation, so he came to see him from the Bodhisattva Temple and asked him if he wanted to go to the Bliss Workshop for a few days, but he was flatly rejected.Xueyu Tanhua sighed leisurely, had no choice but to follow him, left a few bottles of pills and left.And Shi Wudu is busy with everything and never sleeps, but no matter how busy he is, he will go back every morning, noon and night to see his brother's soul.

Every time he came to the courtyard, Shui Hengtian could see Heishui Shenzhou talking to Yukou in the formation, and it was still the same this time.Feeling both emotion and unhappiness in his heart, he deliberately coughed and interrupted his whispering to himself.Walking to the sidelines, seeing that Qingxuan's soul is well, Shi Wudu breathed a sigh of relief, and explained the purpose of this trip: "... Lingwen replenishes Qingxuan's soul, and you should repay her and share her worries."

He Xuan protested: "Why don't you approve for her?"

"Who said I won't approve?" Shi Wudu frowned while holding the fan, "It's just that the priests in the heavenly court are all doing their own thing, and I have important things to do, so I can't finish it."

This is a legitimate reason, and He Xuan couldn't find any words to refute, so he had to accept the job.Fortunately, he has been in the Heavenly Court for hundreds of years after all, and he is familiar with the types of personnel and various regulations, and handles all affairs with ease.It's just that he didn't want to stay away when he was approving official documents. Instead, he moved the tables and chairs to the side of the formation, still firmly guarding Qingxuan's soul.

Shi Wudu was seriously injured, and Pei Ming was not much better; but this half catty insisted on following Baliang, and he just said "to serve as a bodyguard for Senior Brother Shui".Shi Wudu knew that his thoughts were not pure, but he couldn't tell the truth, so he used a bunch of official business as an excuse to drive him away quickly.When Pei Mingzhen left with three turns, Shi Wudu felt empty and confused, and repeated silently "Do not hinder me and his Bo Yun's righteousness", so that he could calm down and go about his business.

A few days ago, after learning the news that Shi Qingxuan was alive, Yu Shihuang immediately came to visit.And when she committed suicide in the city, Pei Ming always felt ashamed, and every time she thought about it, she felt uncomfortable; so after a few polite greetings, Ming Guang left in a hurry.Shi Wudu returned with her from the back mountain, invited her to sit in the hall, and made tea with her own hands.

Because Master Yu's throat is fragile and it is not suitable to talk too much, Master Sailor used a psychic array to chat with her, talking about the dangerous night in Tonglu Mountain.Yu Shihuang learned about the specific situation of the battle from Prince Xianle.When talking about the disaster in white clothes, she had a serious face, euphemistically mentioned the fact that Lord Navy was decapitated again by Bai Wuxiang, and expressed her shock.But Shi Wudu was stunned - Nangong and Pei Ming hadn't told him about this matter yet; he didn't know how Bai Wuxiang destroyed his body.

Sending off Master Yu, Shi Wudu sat in the room, frowning for a while.For some reason, his mind is full of the scene of Pei Ming's Ruanxiang wanting to draw his sword to die for love, and when Bai Wuxiang exposed that he wanted to "present three letters and set six ceremonies" and "wait for Brother Shui to be hired by His Royal Highness Mingguang", what happened to him? The almost hopeless injury... Afterwards, when he thought about how sad Brother Pei had witnessed the destruction of his body, Shi Wudu felt extremely distressed; Brother Pei is afraid that the talisman is real, so...

At noon, Shi Wudu went to the small courtyard in the back mountain, and after seeing Qingxuan's soul, he came back to continue approving official documents.He was a little tired from criticizing, so he took a nap on the desk with his arms propped up, and felt someone approaching in a daze.The footsteps of the other party were soft, but the breath was very familiar.He knew it was Pei Ming.

Pei Ming, carrying a thin cloak, tiptoed to the case.Unexpectedly, as soon as Master Wudu's shoulder was covered, the other party opened his eyes, and his clear eyes swept over him, which shocked Pei Ming.

"What is this for?" Shi Wudu sat up straight and closed the cloak; the material is smooth and soft, and you can tell it's Donghai shark silk by the touch.

Pei Ming stammered: "...the mountain here is high, and it's close to the north...the residual cold has not faded, I'm afraid you'll catch a cold..."

Shi Wudu laughed at him: "I'm not a living person now, which ghost have you seen caught a cold?" For some reason, when he was alone with the other party, the embarrassment in his heart disappeared.

Pei Ming faltered: "But this shawl is not a mortal product...it is a treasure of the shark clan...a formation is woven inside it...it can nourish the soul..."

Shi Wudu nodded seriously: "Okay, when Qingxuan wakes up, I will wear this for him."

"Brother Shui...!" Pei Ming was anxious, and his tone was still very aggrieved.

Shi Wudu stopped teasing him, and stood up: "It's still uncomfortable after sitting for a long time, I'm going out for a walk."

As he said that, Shui Hengtian went around the table and took a few steps towards the door, but when he turned his head, he saw Pei Ming standing on the spot with a lost face, he couldn't laugh or cry: "Aren't you coming together?"

Pei Ming was stunned, and then rushed to Shi Wudu's side with big strides: "I'm afraid I'll always follow and annoy you, and then I'll be driven away..."

Hearing his voice, it seemed that he had suffered great pain; looking at his demeanor, there was a bit of restraint in the excitement.Shi Wudu sighed as he walked out the door, thinking: I drove you away, but I didn't say that you are not allowed to come again.He wanted to say this, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not appropriate, so he held back.

"Where is Senior Brother Shui going?" Pei Ming walked behind Shi Wudu, carefully controlling his steps, and always staying close to him.

Shi Wudu originally wanted to go around, but thought of his own tomb on the back mountain, afraid that Pei Ming would be hurt by the scene, so he changed his words: "Let's go to the imperial city to have a look."

Pei Ming touched his nose, grinned and lowered his head: "Okay... I just heard that flowers are blooming on Mount Yujun."

After the catastrophe, people who moved out to seek refuge have returned to the city one after another; on the ruined walls, what is flourishing is the tenacious hope sown by humans, ghosts and gods.

It has been more than half a year since the last cold dew.In late spring and March, it is the season when the wind dances with the fish, and Junshan Shangguang and Jingming are thriving.The mulberry and bamboo are ferocious, the flowers and trees are sparse, and occasionally a few strings of soft warbler cries can be heard from the branches.Shi Wudu and Pei Ming walked slowly under the mottled slanting shade, but neither said a word.

In fact, on the way here, Pei Ming stood on the clouds and chattered endlessly, but for some reason, he suddenly got stuck when he arrived at this peaceful place.Originally, Mingguang had made up his mind to take the initiative since he made the copper furnace—since Senior Brother Shui hadn't expressed his disgust after learning about his intentions, there was no need for him to hide it.At this time, Shi Wudu threw away the embarrassment, Pei Ming was at a loss instead.He followed behind Shi Wudu, from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain, from the east slope to the west slope, and the shallow grass, flowers, lush forests and bamboos along the way did not enter his eyes; he just stared at Shi Wudu's dangling hair The tip and the hand sticking out from the cloak from time to time.

"Why don't you talk?" When he reached a flat area in the mountain stream, Shi Wudu stopped and turned to look at Pei Ming.

General Mingguang had a new saber hanging on his waist, which he begged Shi Wudu to choose for himself yesterday.At this moment, he was holding the scabbard, his palms were full of sweat, and he was twisting like a completely different guy from the guy who was trying his best yesterday.Pei Ming blushed and looked around, racking her brains to hold back the topic:

"...Brother Shui...Look at the lush vegetation here, and there are many types, many of which are not found on our mountain...Or else, look, is there anything you like? Let's take it back and ask Jieqing to take it for you to shape your body ..."

"The pine tree in her yard is enough." Shi Wudu chuckled, but still looked around the surrounding flowers and trees.Suddenly, he seemed to be attracted by something, and immediately turned and walked to the side.

Pei Ming hurriedly followed, watching Shi Wudu stop in front of a tall tree, staring up.I saw that the leaves of this tree are like green armor, green and green, with a stretched crown and strong branches. I don't know how old the tree is, but it must not be less than a hundred years old;It was actually a white camellia.

"...you can consider getting this jade tea back," Shi Wudu raised his hand, brushing the new leaves hanging in front of him with his fingertips, "also bring the word '茶', which suits you well. Send it back to the Mingguang Palace , I will give you the dowry right now."

Pei Ming stood there in shock, eyes wide open: "Brother Shui...? You, this... this joke can't be fooled!"

Shi Wudu turned his face away and stopped talking.Pei Ming's heart was thumping, her legs felt so weak, she hurried to Shi Wudu, and opened her mouth to ask again, but he stared at her and stepped on her again.

Pei Ming's face was hot, and his bright peach eyes made him laugh foolishly: "Brother Shui... there is a valley on the other side of the ridge, and there may be wild orchids in it, how about I take you to dig it?"

Shi Wudu looked at him sideways and said, "Lansheng is in the valley, free and easy, but you are going to ruin it."

"Brother Shui taught me..."

"Who taught you a lesson?" Shi Wudu was a little funny, poked him with the handle of the fan, "virtue."

"Then... I'll invite Brother Shui to Zuixiaolou, and I'll treat you to a drink..."

"The official business is not over, how can I drink?"

"That's true... yes, Brother Shui, how about I show you the sword dance?"

"…it is good."

"Speaking of which, the last sword dance was a hundred years ago, I don't know if Brother Shui still remembers..."

"You dance again, I won't remember."

"Well, Senior Brother Shui should pay attention this time!"

……

The shadow of the sword flutters, thousands of lights shine.

Strong as a drum horn moving a galaxy, as restrained as a cold pool casting the shadow of a wild goose;

Zheng is like the pine wind shaking the mountains and rain, and the softness is like the evening clouds rolling down the snow.

The sun shines on the moon, and the rustle runs through the sky.

Henglan connects to the sky and mirrors the water, and the clear waves move quietly to sparkle the bright light.

After a dance.There is no tooth plate gold bottle, Yushan is already drunk.

The general held his sword and bowed, accidentally piercing the setting sun;

A piece of crimson color leaked out, flowing on the hearts of the two of them.

-THAN-

*The four sentences of "strong", "contracted", "zheng" and "soft" are all used in ancient Chinese.

"Strong" sentence - Du Fu's "Ge Ye": "The sound of drums and horns at the fifth watch is solemn and stirring, and the shadow of the Galaxy in the Three Gorges shakes."

"Concentration" sentence - Hong Yingming's "Cai Gen Tan": "The geese cross the cold pool, and the geese leave the pool without leaving a picture. Therefore, when things come, the heart of a gentleman first emerges, and when things go, the heart follows the emptiness."

"Zheng" and "soft" sentences - Su Shi's "Shu Wang Dingguo's Collection of Yanjiang Mountains": "The spring breeze shakes the river and the sky is deserted, and the evening clouds roll in the rain and the mountains are beautiful. The red maple turns the crows with the water, and the long pine falls and the snow wakes up and sleeps."

*"Yushan" (Although this word is relatively common, but after thinking about it, I decided to mention qwq)

"Book of Jin·Pei Kai Biography": "Kai, the wind god is tall, the appearance is handsome, the book is extensive, and the theory is special. People at that time called it a 'jade man', also known as 'seeing Uncle Pei as if you are near a jade mountain. , It reflects people.'" Later, "Jade Mountain" was used as a metaphor for handsome appearance.
