Sitting and forgetting longevity

Chapter 345 Waiting for Dawn
Time is merciless, Liu Qinghuan still looks like a young man at 23, but Lin Guang is now almost middle-aged, with a beard, and his body is a little fatter than before.

The vigor and restlessness of his youth have disappeared from him, replaced by calmness, open-mindedness and cheerfulness.

He welcomed Liu Qing into his residence, and while laying out food and wine on the stone table in the courtyard, he said: "Speaking of which, I occasionally think of me, you, and Junior Brother Bai, who used to sit together on this stone table. Drinking and chatting. It’s just that you’ve been away for decades, and now Junior Brother Bai has formed a pill and is sent far away to the northern border of ice and snow.”

Paused: "Only me, still standing still."

He was very calm when he spoke, but Liu Qinghuan seemed to see the decadent young man who was stuck in the eighth level of Qi training back then.

After deliberating for a while, he couldn't help but said: "Senior brother Lin, is it really difficult for you to improve your cultivation?"

Lin Guang laughed and shook his head, "Junior Brother Liu, you don't have to speak so cautiously. I have thought about it for so many years. When I established the foundation, it was because of the Peiling Pill and the Foundation Pill that you and Bai Shidi gave me. Yes, so I was mentally prepared for this."

Liu Qinghuan couldn't say anything more, Lin Guang himself had given up, and it would be useless for him to say more as an outsider.

Lin Guang poured him a glass of wine, the two touched each other, and continued: "Actually, I'm not bad now. Being a small steward in the sect can be regarded as a little bit of power. In a few years, I will return to the ordinary world. Go build a small Xiuxian family, marry wives, have children, and reproduce."

There was no resignation, sadness and other emotions in his words. After the struggle and hopelessness, all that was left was to accept his fate.

Liu Qinghuan raised her head and drank the wine in the glass, swallowed her sigh, and said instead: "Brother Bai is really talented, he formed a pill so quickly, I haven't even had a chance to congratulate him."

Lin Guang said with a smile: "The Eastern Wasteland has reappeared, he may come back soon, and then we can drink together again."

He stood up, took a few steps back and forth in the courtyard, leaned against a tree and said, "You haven't looked for Senior Brother Qu since you came back, have you?"

"By the way, senior brother Qu has formed alchemy now?"

Lin Guang said regretfully, "No, I've tried three or four times, and every time I failed for various reasons."

Shocking a golden elixir is not enough to retreat, and the elixir and other things consumed in it are very valuable.But Qu Yunhe has real Chengxin behind him, so he should be able to afford it.

"Is Senior Brother Qu in the sect now?"

Lin Guang turned the wine glass in his hand and shook his head: "True Master Chengxin wanted to arrange for Senior Brother Qu to form a double cultivation with a female cultivator, but Senior Brother Qu refused and just ran away from the sect, and he doesn't know where he is now."

"Double cultivation?" Liu Qinghuan frowned and said, "Does this mean that Master Chengxin has been disappointed with Senior Brother Qu?"

Generally, the elders arrange the double cultivation of the younger generation at this time, which is equivalent to giving up to a certain extent.

"Maybe..." Lin Guang said, "Anyway, Senior Brother Qu was said to be very angry when he rushed out. Well, speaking of it, I have been able to win a small management position in the sect all these years thanks to Senior Brother Qu's care."

While drinking, the two chatted about what happened over the years.Lin Guangji asked Liu Qinghuan's experience with great interest, and when he knew that he had visited Saofeng Continent and Dongya Relict Island, he couldn't help showing a faint envy.

Drinking more and more wine, but filled with unspeakable sorrow, the two of them gradually fell silent.

Lin Guang was in a daze, and Liu Qinghuan was also in a complicated mood.

Friends when they were young, because of their respective encounters, they went to different directions in life.On the Dao of Cultivation of Immortals, some people give up in despair, some people die halfway, some people struggle with every step of the way, and some people abandon the past and never hear from it...

They belonged to famous families, and when they were young, they were full of spirits, imagining the great rivers and mountains to be happy with their swords.But the reality is concrete and cold. After a journey in the world, one will either have a body of steel and iron, or be reduced to be riddled with holes.

Lin Guangzui's eyes were hazy, and he half-lyed on the chair and looked up at the starry sky above his head. After a long time, he whispered: "I just regret that I don't have the ambition to venture into the mountains and wilds anymore."

For some unknown reason, Liu Qinghuan laughed suddenly, and couldn't stop laughing, almost burst into tears.

Under Lin Guang's astonished gaze, he stood up, and the sword intent of life and death flew out from between his brows, turning into a long sword.

He walked to an open place, stood tall, turned his back to Lin Guang and said, "Brother Lin, do you still remember when we learned sword together?"

Saying that, he made a starting position first, then kneaded his body down, held a sword flower with the long sword in his hand, turned around and walked out straight.He didn't use spiritual power, but just moved his body up and down, using moves one after another.

Stabbing, splitting, teasing, hanging, clouding, pointing, collapsing, cutting, cutting...

Every move is the most basic sword move, which is exactly the set of Taiji swordsmanship they practiced when they started.

However, Liu Qinghuan's current state, and practice Tai Chi swordsmanship, has a different flavor and experience.

The astonishment in Lin Guang's eyes was slowly filled with memories, as if they had really returned to the days when they were teenagers, practicing swords with a group of senior brothers every morning on the Guanyuntai behind the Immortal Peak.

I was stunned for a while, watching Liu Qinghuan showing no sign of stopping at all, one stroke after another, tirelessly, completely immersed in swordsmanship.

There was a little light in Lin Guang's eyes, and he looked at it as if obsessed, and suddenly let out a long whistle, and with a shake of his hand, he also held a long sword, stood beside Liu Qinghuan, and practiced exactly like him.

……

How much is a hundred years, how generous is one.

The child should be built for me, and I will sing for the child.

Beckon the gulls and birds on the seashore, and see how the clouds and dreams in my chest are near.

Chu Yue waited to hear, but there was a turmoil in his heart and gallbladder.

Life matters are given by the sky, and they are whirling.

Several people looked at each other and smiled drunkenly.

Seeing the clouds passing by, fearing the majestic years, throwing them away like a shuttle.

Advise the son and hold the candle, so as to spend the spring in a good way.

Slowly, Liu Qinghuan's sword intent changed.Walking with the sword, he recalled all his experiences of walking outside these years, as well as those people he met and those insights.And after returning to the door, when I learned about the situation of each friend in the faction, I also came to my heart one by one.

He finally went to Jia Zhou's cave, and Jia Zhou also opened the door for him to visit Senior Brother Yuzhi who was lying in the ice coffin.

Life and death, life and death.Among the seven sufferings in life, life and death are at the top, which makes people bitter and unspeakable.

And all of this was melted into his sword intent.

……

The east was white, and the morning light was slightly dew. Liu Qinghuan and Lin Guang danced swords all night unknowingly.

When the first ray of golden sunlight fell into the small courtyard of Zhulin Mountain, the two of them stopped at the same time and looked at the vigorous Chuyang.

Liu Qinghuan looked at the Sword Intent of Life and Death in his hand, the long sword that was originally gray had now turned completely white.

He had comprehended the dead sword many years ago, but last night, he unknowingly comprehended the living sword.

With life comes death, and with death comes resurrection. Liu Qinghuan's life-and-death sword intent has finally made another great breakthrough.

Turning his head, he and Lin Guang laughed heartily at the same time.

Breathing the fresh air of the morning, Liu Qinghuan said: "Senior brother Lin, you know that I've always been bad at words, so I won't say words of comfort. We cultivators walk alone on the road to longevity, and every step is bumpy. There is no such thing as smooth sailing. And the most important thing is not to forget the original intention!"

When he started speaking, his voice was still very soft, but as he got to the back, every word seemed to come out of his mouth, hitting the ground with a bang!

The smile on Lin Guang's face slowly disappeared, and he nodded cautiously.

Liu Qinghuan pointed to the front and said loudly: "If you feel regretful, just do it; if you want to see the mountains and rivers, the rivers and the sea, then go out from here! The sect is our root, but it does not bind our feet , what binds us is our own heart."

"It's nothing if you don't improve your cultivation? You can still come and go freely and freely! Do whatever you want, don't waste your time, hide in the corner all day, feel sorry for yourself, or pretend to be calm and whitewash the peace. You will die someday Now, your life has not been in vain!"

In the end, Liu Qinghuan said sadly: "Death will find us at some point, so let's live with all our heart and all while we are alive..."
