The young child looked up and glanced at the young man who had gathered his robe and sat beside him with his hands tucked in.
He held the stack of yellow paper and shook his head.
"Today, my heart is restless, not selling."
"Why is your heart restless?"
The child pointed to the distant mountain.
"What do you think that is?"
Su Huai looked up. "It's a mountain."
The child shook his head: "No, it's not a mountain."
"Not a mountain, then what is it?"
"I don't know, but my master said it's not a mountain, then it definitely isn't."
"Do you trust your master's words so much?"
"Because my master... he is always right..."
"Where is he now?"
"Probably dead..."
The child pursed his lips, just staring blankly at the distant mountain peak, his face showing no trace of sadness.
Su Huai also fell silent for a while.
When he borrowed the Tengyun Mountain to improve his qualifications, he decided to help protect the Tengyun Mountain in the future when it was in trouble.
But he didn't expect that his sudden rise seemed to have quietly triggered a butterfly effect, causing many things to deviate from the predetermined track of the previous life.
The beast tide that was supposed to break out five years later broke out in advance in the west of the Zangxing Mountain Range.
Although it was more than a thousand miles away and did not affect Tengyun Mountain, the whole sect still went down the mountain to cut demons.
When Su Huai came out of the secret realm, the beast tide had already broken out for several days, and the human front line had stabilized, and even most of the elders sent by the Yan Yue Immortal Sect had returned.
But some people really couldn't come back.
A big and a small one sat on the stairs, looking at the distant mountain through the gauze-like white fog.
After a long time, Su Huai spoke again.
"Your master is a very great person."
"At least... much greater than me."
"Why do you say that?" The child turned his head and looked at Su Huai.
"Because he sees the mountain, he sees the world, the ordinary people living at the foot of the mountain."
"But what I see is just a mountain."
The child followed Su Huai's line of sight and indeed found something he had ignored before.
At the foot of the mountain, there were a few thatched cottages, a simple fence with a few chickens and ducks, a man carrying a large bundle of firewood pushed open the yard, smiling and shouting something to the house.
Soon, a woman came out of the low door, handed a bowl of water to the man, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and finally took the firewood carried by the man.
Of course, these things could not be seen clearly by the child, and in his line of sight, there were only a few small dots and a wisp of rising smoke.
The child suddenly lowered his head and bit his lower lip tightly.
Su Huai sighed.
"Come back to the Yan Yue Immortal Sect with me."
"You are the next saint of the Yan Yue Immortal Sect."
The child shook his head.
"No."
Su Huai looked up at the sky: "Is it because you feel that the Immortal Sect failed to fulfill its responsibilities and killed your master?"
"No."
"The master said, the tall have the things that the tall need to deal with, sometimes the stronger the ability, the more things need to be borne."
"The strong do not owe the weak anything, I have no position, and I have no qualification to blame you."
"Why don't you go with me then?"
"I want to stay here and wait for my master to come back."
"You just said they have already..."
"But I am still alive."
"I am still here, Tengyun Mountain has not been destroyed."
"At least the master, and the souls of the brothers and sisters, can have a place to return..."
Su Huai turned his head and looked at the child, silent for a long time, and suddenly smiled.
"Then do you still sell your mountain climbing manual?"
"Sell the last copy, do you want it?"
"Yes."
"Please pay, two spirit stones."
...
The mountain road is wide, Su Huai did not climb up again, he walked down from the waist of the mountain step by step like an ordinary scattered repair, until the clouds dispersed and the wind was clear.
The last copy of the mountain climbing manual was placed on the bookshelf of the storage ring with great care.
The handwriting on it is crooked, full of the future of Tengyun Mountain.
When Su Huai returned to his valley, it was already near dusk.
Su Huai has a lot of feelings in his heart.
But it's still that sentence, he admires all the great people, but he can't become such a person.
Su Huai has a strong self-awareness.
Selfish, in other words, in this world where life is uncertain, almost all people who have climbed from the bottom and survived to this day are selfish.
It's also because he stayed in the Yan Yue Immortal Sect for a long time, received some help and spiritual baptism, that he occasionally thinks from the standpoint of the whole human race.
But if a great disaster comes one day, what he thinks of first is not the world, but the old man Su, Chu Siyu, plus some friends, and that foolish younger brother who has been pitted from a young age and is now practicing in the sword tomb.
At most, he will take Su Zhengheng that bad father... on the way.
"Saint, the travel team is ready."
Xu Elder led Situ Zhiruo and several people to stand in front of the wooden house, and reported to Su Huai on the second floor terrace.
Su Huai walked to the edge of the terrace and nodded gently to Xu Elder.
A fiery horse and five divine talisman eagles stood neatly beside Xu Elder.
Zhang Zhen's eldest disciple and second disciple were beside them, lost and panicked, and they hadn't completely come out of the grief and panic of their master's death.
But Yan Shu... should eat and drink, and in this more than a month, he has also gained a circle, which is really filial.
Situ Zhiruo did not have much affection for Zhang Zhen, and the reason she was lost and panicked was still because of Su Huai.
Regret, in short, is very regrettable.
With the addition of status and strength, Su Huai's face is more and more enduring in her eyes.
In the past month, she often dreamed back to the beginning in the middle of the night, and in the dream, she did not go to the Su family to break the marriage, but went to urge the marriage as Su Huai mocked her at the beginning.
Later, she didn't go to the Tianhan Palace, but followed Su Huai to the Yan Yue Immortal Sect, relying on each other all the way...
After hearing that Su Huai was going to take the initiative to escort them back to the Tianhan Palace, she also wanted to ease the relationship between the two, even if she couldn't be a Taoist couple, it would be good to be friends.
Then...
She saw a small head popping out next to Su Huai.
Chu Siyu knew that Su Huai was going out today, and she came home early from the Dan room, and brought back a large number of four-grade back spirit pills that she had just learned to refine.
Su Huai saw her hiding behind him and looking down secretly, a cute and lovely look without a brain, and immediately turned his face and kissed.
Chu Siyu was stunned, immediately blushed, and shrank back, and ran back to her room.
Elder Xu witnessed this scene, and could only move his sight, cursing the saint in his heart for indulging in wine... indulging in color, hurting the customs.
The saint is still too young, how can he not understand, women only affect his speed of drawing the knife!
The rest of the people all lowered their heads, but didn't notice this scene, only Situ Zhiruo felt that her heart was stabbed again.
If that day... said what should be said well, what should be understood is not persistent...
"Ahem, since everything is ready, let's go!"
"Old Xu, are you going to follow this time?"
"Yes, Saint, the exchange between the two sects, there must be someone responsible for the handover, and someone who understands etiquette..."
"Bold, Elder Xu, are you implying that the saint doesn't understand etiquette!"
"Ahem..."
"Dare not, the old man meant... the saint should not put his energy on these trivial matters..."
"And Chen Tairu, Chen Fengzhu let me help him watch some of you, to prevent you from being confused by the demoness, and going to climb the wall of other sects' female disciples in the middle of the night..."
