The gods began by supporting Guo Jing to become emperor

Chapter 332 Father and daughter meet, return to Chengdu

"Come in." The voice was so sweet and soft that no words could describe it. It was pleasant, soft, clear and pleasant to hear.

Shi Zhixuan took a deep breath and pushed the door open.

The house is divided into two parts, front and back, by a bamboo curtain. Although small, it is fully equipped with all the necessities of a household, such as furniture and sundries. The windows are bright and clean, and the house is quiet and pleasant.

The furnishings are exactly the same as they were more than a decade ago, but the people are gone and everything has changed.

In the room, a woman was kneeling on a bamboo mat, holding a scroll, with a bamboo flute beside her. The sunlight shone through the window onto her, like a pure and unworldly goddess who was not interested in worldly affairs. She was wearing a milky white tight-sleeved top with brocade sleeves, a milky yellow short jacket, an emerald green shawl, a red long coat, a blue and white brocade belt around her waist, and pointed shoes. She was elegant and leisurely. Her face was so beautiful that it was beyond description, her figure was perfect, and she was full of elegance and grace, but she made people dare not have any fantasies. She was so beautiful that no one dared to have any fantasies.

She turned around, her eyes instantly showing fear and anxiety, "It's you!"

Shi Zhixuan looked at the beautiful girl in front of him with a complicated expression, like nostalgia, like pity. There were many words stuck in his heart, but in the end, there were only four words, "You have grown up."

"Are you coming to kill me?"

"How could I kill you?" Shi Zhixuan walked slowly forward and his eyes fell on her.

This is my daughter, and also Xiuxin’s daughter. She has grown so big.

If he was alone today, he would never dare to come here, because he was afraid that he could not control himself. However, the battle in Jiange, both Su Ming and Song Que shocked him greatly. The future of the Grandmaster and the pride of the warrior had a great impact on his mind.

With Su Ming accompanying him, if he couldn't control himself, there would be someone to stop him. The other party had already known about Youlin Cottage, and bringing the other party here was also a way to show sincerity and at the same time expose his weaknesses to the other party to gain more trust.

More importantly, he also wanted to see what his daughter looked like.

Shi Qingxuan's eyes were slightly red and she was very emotional. "My mother died because of you, and then you disappeared. Now you suddenly come back. I find it hard to believe you." As she said that, she stood up and walked in front of Shi Zhixuan.

"I don't want you to disrupt my peaceful life, please leave."

Shi Zhixuan sighed, "Alas..."

"Don't worry. Even though I'm possessed, you are my flesh and blood. I won't attack you. What happened back then was my fault, but now that mistake has been corrected."

"From now on, you can walk around the world openly and honestly. No one will threaten you, and you don't have to worry about being threatened. This is true for the Buddhist sect and the Demon sect."

Shi Qingxuan sensed something unusual in this sentence, "What on earth happened?"

Then, Shi Zhixuan told her the whole story about the rise of the Song clan and the fall of the Buddhist high-level officials. In fact, he abandoned Shi Qingxuan to a large extent to protect her.

Once the Buddhist sect knew that Shi Qingxuan was his weak spot, it would be difficult for her to live a peaceful life.

It is common for people in the Demon Sect to abandon their wives and children, but Shi Zhixuan is an exception, and he cannot show this emotion to others.

……

Su Ming and Kou Zhong did not go in, but walked along the path beside the stone house.

As the former retreat of Shi Zhixuan, the environment here is unique. The stream meanders through the woods, and a few small stone houses are hidden among the swaying trees beside the stream. The stream flows in front of the houses and forms a clear pool at the mouth of the valley.

In such an environment, Kou Zhong unconsciously relaxed, his hard face softened, and he immersed himself in the natural scenery. "Senior, this place is really nice. Xiaoling will definitely like it."

Su Ming walked to the edge of the pond and looked at his reflection on the water. "You don't like places like this?"

Kou Zhong came closer, squatted down, scooped up a pool of water and drank it all. The clear and sweet water moistened his lungs. "I like the hustle and bustle. This place is not suitable for me. I told Xiao Zhong before that I want to make a lot of money in the future, buy a big house, and have a beautiful wife and concubines. The scenery here is too beautiful. A vulgar person like me is not suitable to stay here."

On the cliff ahead, maple trees are towering, densely packed into a forest, lush and verdant, blocking out the sun; the cliff is steep, the rocks are beautiful, and the springs are clear.

The sun shines through the forest, reflecting on the pool, the floating light is golden, hundreds of birds sing in the forest, and the fresh air is refreshing. The big rocks in the pool emerge from the bottom of the water, some look like grinding basins, some look like square tables, the clear spring flows over the rocks, and small fish swim together, full of free and unworldly meaning.

Every mountain and river here is quite poetic, like the scenery in a painting, and is not inferior to those famous mountains and rivers.

Su Ming smiled carefreely and said casually, "Haha, this pursuit is not bad. Life is like a journey, and all living beings are passers-by, without going or returning. If you can live your life according to your own wishes, it would be great. However, you can no longer go back to the past, and this vision is not suitable for Kou Zhong now."

"What the senior said is true. Kou Zhong is an orphan, without a father or a mother. Only Xiaoling and I depend on each other. He is pursuing his own path, and I, Kou Zhong, also have my own path to follow. I want to become famous throughout the world and be listed in the history books. I used to be a nobody, but in the future, I, Kou Zhong, will definitely be a famous figure!" At this moment, he was not confused at all, and his brows were filled with confidence and publicity.

……

Following the bends of the stream, we go deep into the dense forest and think that the stream ends, but it suddenly opens up and a vibrant small waterfall rushes down from a gap halfway up the mountain, flowing on the lush green cliffs of the valley. At the bottom of the cliff, a small pool is formed, which is blocked by the dense forest. From the other side, you can neither see the unique world here nor hear the natural music played by the waterfall.

Every valley has a different world.

When Su Ming saw this, this was the only thought left in his mind. The Dugu Sword Tomb outside Xiangyang City was also a valley, but it did not have such poetic and picturesque scenery. It was as if the beautiful scenery was condensed here, which was amazing.

At the same time, he also saw traces of human activity in this valley. The scenery here is secondary. Apart from that, the environment here is livable and very nourishing. The four seasons in the valley are like spring, which is very rare.

In this world, only a skilled craftsman or a great master like Lu Miaozi can create such a scene. The entire valley is like the center of the Phoenix Mountains, the essence of the earth's energy.

From this step, he could also infer that Shi Zhixuan's realm at that time was comparable to Ning Daoqi. But if he had not suffered from schizophrenia and continued to practice in seclusion for decades, he could also be a leader among the grand masters.

Kou Zhong listened to the gurgling sound of flowing water, walked along the stream, bypassed the clear pond, and stepped on the gravel path. His eyes and mind followed the mountains and rivers, and he was in harmony with the nature here, and he stopped where he was, not moving.

Su Ming smiled. He was truly a man blessed with good fortune. He could gain insights from just looking at a scenery, just like Xu Ziling.

At this moment, Kou Zhong's mind was infinitely elevated, and the scenery in his eyes turned into lines, with natural breath flowing through them. The entire valley formed a formation diagram, which was born from heaven and earth, sorting out yin and yang, repeating over and over again, opposing and unified.

He saw life and death, and even more so, he saw Taoism and Zen.

...Shi Qingxuan's face turned darker, and her beautiful eyes were filled with sadness. The change in expression was so sudden that Shi Zhixuan's heart trembled violently, and the fatherly love hidden in his heart gradually emerged.

"So, you've always believed that Buddhism was responsible for my mother's death?"

Shi Zhixuan raised his eyebrows, "Isn't it? The Immortal Seal is the martial arts I left behind, and it has always been kept by her. Nothing has happened before. Your mother is an extremely intelligent woman, just like you, she knows what can and cannot be done. But why did she secretly comprehend it when Fan Qinghui came, and eventually became possessed and died of exhaustion?"

"When I handed this martial art to her, I warned her not to learn it because she didn't have the talent or understanding to learn it. But Fan Qinghui happened to come, and everything changed."

"Then, the Four Holy Monks and Ning Daoqi attacked, and I had no choice but to go out and fight them. By then, I had already retired to the mountains, but they kept forcing me to give up my martial arts and live out the rest of my life as a Buddhist monk."

"Our family is separated forever, and it was all because of them. I was too naive back then, and I actually believed them. I actually gave up the cause of the Demon Sect and retired to the mountains. This is why I have suffered this disaster. It's all my fault."

After he finished speaking, he reached out to pat her shoulder, "Now that the problem has been solved, you and I don't have to hide anymore, and we can be reunited."

However, just as he reached out his hand, Shi Qingxuan took a step back, tears all over her face, "I don't know if what you said is true or not, but my mother is dead, and she died because of you."

Hearing this, Shi Zhixuan's face darkened, "You're right, this is all my fault."

"Never mind. I just wanted to see you today. I have no other intentions. I am now a minister of the Song family. My name is Pei Ju. You can come to me if you have any questions."

Then, he looked at Shi Qingxuan deeply, opened the door and turned to leave.

……

After leaving the stone house, he found Su Ming and the others. He noticed Kou Zhong at the first moment and was amazed at his qualifications. He brought Kou Zhong here originally to find a husband for Shi Qingxuan, but he didn't expect that she hated him so much, so he had to give up.

Su Ming pointed to the stone house behind and said, "Brother Shi, this was built by you, right?"

"No, besides me and her mother, we built it together."

Su Ming nodded, "This place can almost form a formation. The place where a Grandmaster sits is already extraordinary. She has been able to live here for many years, and this small building in the secluded forest has played an indispensable role. She will figure it out."

What else is there to be puzzled about?
The union of Bi Xiuxin and Shi Zhixuan was originally a conspiracy. The Buddhist sect tore up the agreement, but they didn't expect Shi Zhixuan to escape. Otherwise, Shi Qingxuan would not be able to live independently here and would have been brought into the mountain gate by Cihang Jingzhai and trained as the next generation of saint.

Think about it, the daughter of the evil king of the Demon Sect was converted by Buddhism and became the successor of Cihang Jingzhai to fight against the Demon Sect. How ironic!

Suddenly, a flute sound was heard, and Shi Zhixuan's expression changed suddenly.

A series of dull and low notes, with the sound deliberately full, produce a worn and trembling timbre, with some kind of strange power accumulated inside, like resentment, longing, crying and complaining, which makes people feel the heavy pain suppressed in the person playing the flute!

The sound of the flute turns around and keeps sinking downwards, bringing out a world that is like a nightmare and from which one cannot wake up, sinking into a dark abyss of loss and sorrow.

Suddenly it became intermittent, as if she had used up all her strength and could no longer control the sound of the flute. In the room, tears were streaming from Shi Qingxuan's eyes. She seemed to be able to rely only on her own strength, turning her remaining life into a sad song of struggle before death. She was like a homeless wanderer, walking alone in the world.

Then, the sound of the flute changed, as if it was freed from an inescapable addiction, and became lingering and heartbreaking. It was also like the cry of geese in Yinshan Mountains and the howl of monkeys in Wu Gorge, filling the entire valley.

At the same time, Kou Zhong, standing on the bluestone of the waterfall, closed his eyes tightly, tears streaming from the corners of his eyes, as he thought about his past.

When parents are alive, life still has a place to go, but when they are gone, life only has a way back. However, Kou Zhong is an orphan, and even the shadow of his parents is barely left in his memory. What is left is the difficult experience of struggling to survive with his brothers.

That's why, when he saw Fu Jun'er for the first time, he thought of nothing else but to recognize her as his godmother, because he longed for family affection, which was the missing part of his life.

Shi Zhixuan's arrival broke Shi Qingxuan's inner peace. She had just been playing the flute to express her emotions, and this just happened to touch Kou Zhong's heartstrings. The two had different experiences, but the feelings of losing both parents were the same.

At this moment, even Su Ming couldn't help but recall the past. After decades of time, his memories of the Blue Star had gradually become blurred, leaving only him, a traveler wandering in the heavens.

Life is like a journey and all living beings are passers-by. This is the most true portrayal. Shi Qingxuan's flute art is rare in the world. After two lifetimes, Su Ming has never heard such a moving flute sound.

What is even more touching is the emotions contained in it, which are so touching that they can touch people's hearts.

After a long time, Kou Zhong opened his eyes and felt his face was cold. He wiped it and found that his tears had soaked his clothes.

"What a beautiful piece of music! I have never heard such a touching flute sound."

Shi Zhixuan was also silent, because he thought of the deceased Bi Xiuxin. Back then, her flute art was so fascinating that it attracted him deeply. However, the harmony between the two was no longer possible.

"go!"

The three of them did not stay here. They used their lightness skills and disappeared into the valley in a moment.

At this moment, the door opened with a creaky sound, and Shi Qingxuan walked out, looking at the direction they left with tears in her eyes.

……

"What? The Guanlong coalition was defeated?"

Truth cannot be hidden, and this news was like a huge rock thrown into calm waters, causing huge waves.

Everyone knows that this war is related to the future situation of the world. Both the Guanlong Alliance and the Song clan are the top forces in the world.

All parties' attention was focused on this, and even the war between Wang Shichong and Li Mi received little attention. However, no one expected that after several months of fighting, this would be the final result.

No one can stop the Song clan anymore!
After hearing the news, almost everyone had this thought in their mind: with two great masters in charge of the Song clan, what other force in the world has such a powerful military force?

The news shocked the world, and even the Luoyang forces that had been fighting to the death stopped fighting and returned home.
