Chapter 1255 Thank you
"It's alright, it's in one of these rooms. I want to see how old this house is." The Moon-Accompanying Immortal smiled and walked towards the north room. "This house must be warm in winter, the earthen walls are very thick."
Qi Yun dabbed her tears with a handkerchief and, as she walked out of the kitchen, she made a point of checking the height of the door. "Be careful with this kitchen door," she said, "I almost bumped my head on it and got a dent. It really hurt."
“Next time you turn into a fox, you won’t bump your head,” Lord Xie said seriously.
"Uncle-Master, I didn't realize you were so shrewd. Who taught you that?" Qi Yun sniffed. "Next time, I'll let you try it yourself."
"Although I have amnesia, this body remembers that you have to bend over to enter through this door, so I guess I learned my lesson from that experience." Lord Xie came out carrying two bowls of plain noodles. "Let's go, lunch smells delicious."
Lunch was indeed delicious. Song Chunxue sat at the brand-new table and chairs, looking at the renovated house, which was so bright that it seemed like a new house had been built. She thought about how much effort her senior brother and disciples had put into it.
But the reason she didn't want to stay there was also because of Xie Zheng.
Now, she's staying here, and... not entirely because of Lord Xie.
She's doing it for herself now.
Spiritual practice seems to be about discovering that in this life, putting oneself first is the right thing to do.
Saying it's for the sake of children or the next generation is wrong.
Even though our ancestors went through this, we still feel disappointed and sad.
If you put yourself first, you won't feel too bad about giving so much to others; you can just correct your mistakes in time.
Those who value others more than themselves will always be slapped in the back by fate.
Slap the back of the head...
She suddenly looked at Xie Zheng. Could it be that Xie Zheng was the same, which is why God slapped him and scattered his memories?
Haha, suddenly I realize that I can understand the good intentions of fate.
Xie Zheng felt uneasy under her gaze; why was she suddenly smiling at him?
"What's wrong?" Xie Zheng rubbed his face, thinking there was something on it.
"It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered that before you go back to Beijing, remember to bring some potatoes for Yun'er. She likes potatoes from here. I'll share some with you tomorrow."
Xie Zheng nodded, "Okay."
"By the way, where's Stubborn Donkey? Hasn't he come back yet?"
Song Chunxue was worried that the stubborn donkey was running too wildly in the mountains and had wandered over people's grain fields. That wouldn't just be a matter of losing money; the grain was precious, and it would be painful for anyone to see it wasted.
Although she had given prior instructions and repeatedly told Wuyou that if they ran into someone else's farmland, they shouldn't come back.
"He's not back yet. Don't worry, that stubborn donkey is so intelligent, he definitely won't run away. It's probably just that the wind on the mountain is too comfortable, and he doesn't want to come back." Qi Yun vouched for the stubborn donkey, "If the stubborn donkey ruins the grain, I will apologize and compensate him on his behalf."
"You just spoil him."
“Master, that’s…” Qi Yun said helplessly, “That’s even more spiritual than me. Be careful, it might turn into human form and scare you next time.”
"He can also transform into human form?"
Qi Yun looked at the Moon-Accompanying Immortal in disbelief, "Grandmaster, listen to this, isn't it infuriating?"
The Moon-Accompanying Immortal laughed, "It is quite infuriating. This mushroom is good, you should try it."
The implication is that you shouldn't point it out to her.
It's better to be a little oblivious.
Song Chunxue asked in confusion, "Master..."
"Qi Yun is just naive and has never seen the world, ignore her."
"..." Qi Yun lowered his head and vigorously shoveled the food into his mouth!
After the meal, the Moon-Accompanying Immortal drank a cup of wine.
"Do you know what I felt here?"
Qi Yun went to wash the dishes, and Master Xie went to get the tools to prepare for sweeping.
Song Chunxue asked curiously, "What did you sense?"
"Even if Mount Tai were to press down on you, you would not bend your back. You have suffered greatly, my teacher. I have seen your past clearly. It was indeed very tiring for you, and you have endured much hardship."
Song Chunxue responded with an "oh," and said casually, "It's all in the past."
“This place is great in every way, except that the distance between the two mountains is too close. There are only a few places with good feng shui in this village, and they are all occupied.” Banyue Immortal took a sip of wine. “But it doesn’t matter. As long as you don’t forget your original intention, it’s good to cultivate here. I like the courtyard and the area around it very much. You can come here to stroll around for a few days in the future.”
Hearing her master's approval, Song Chunxue was overjoyed.
"That's good. I was worried that Master would dislike this place. What would Master like to eat tonight? How about we ask Qi Yun to catch a rabbit?"
"No need. I don't want to eat meat lately. Simple meals are fine. Stop eating all the time. It's time to fast."
Song Chunxue lowered her head, "Yes, I will fast after you leave, but Master, why don't you teach me how to fast?"
"Yes, it's time to give her a proper explanation. There will be various discomforts during your first fast, so don't panic." Immortal Banyue put down his wine cup and explained it to her carefully.
Song Chunxue only then realized that there were so many intricacies and nuances to fasting.
“Then I will try it more often in the future. It’s easier to fast when you’re alone, but it’s hard to resist the temptation when there are many people watching others eat,” Song Chunxue said with a smile. “If there’s anything I don’t know, I can write to ask my master for help.”
Although writing letters is slow, she finds it quite enjoyable.
It seems she can finally embark on the path of cultivation alone, single-mindedly, without needing anyone's company. Her mind is firm, and she is unhurried.
She walked this path for ten years.
It was a happy time for many people, but for Song Chunxue, it was an exceptionally long time.
Step by step, never stopping.
After ten years, she has finally slowed down and is about to begin her slow and deliberate spiritual practice.
The dog sunbathed in the yard, and it seemed to have quickly accepted that this was where it would stay for a while.
"Master, there are watermelons and cantaloupes in the vegetable garden! I picked two!" Qi Yun came in carrying two melons, as excited as a child. "I'll cut them up for you to try."
Xie Zheng slowly stepped into the room, sat down at the table, and poured himself a glass of wine.
"If you're going to stay here from now on, will I be able to come visit you when I have time?"
"..." The words of refusal were about to slip out, but Song Chunxue thought that if she did, it would mean that she hadn't let go yet.
Perhaps it's because they, as fellow disciples, are so comfortable and natural.
"Okay, bring the other senior brothers along too. Let me know before you come so I can prepare properly." Song Chunxue smiled. "Everyone is so lively during holidays, so you can come and see me if it's convenient for you."
Xie Zheng nodded and took a box out of his pocket.
The Moon-Accompanying Immortal stood up. "I'll go out and take a look. It seems the stubborn donkey has returned, but the door isn't open."
"..." Listening to her master's deliberate excuse, Song Chunxue didn't know whether she should feel embarrassed at this moment.
It doesn't seem so awkward after all.
But Lord Xie was once stubborn, and now he's even more so.
It's quite worrying.
Sometimes she thought, it wouldn't be so bad if we just parted ways and never saw each other again.
But the person in front of me doesn't have that awareness.
"Open it and take a look." He solemnly pushed a brand new box in front of her.
Could it be some kind of jewelry?
She won't want it now!
Surprisingly, inside was a chicken-blood stone seal.
"It's been in my storage ring for a while; I think I originally intended to give it to you."
Song Chunxue stroked it for a while, trying not to miss the Lord Xie of the past.
"Okay, thank you." She stared at the bloodstone expressionlessly, her manner distant and polite.
