Chapter 407 Missed
The mountain road above the Sword Sect was silent and deserted, like the lonely night sky after the fireworks ended. But Bai Shu knew that he was not dazzled, and he was sure that he had seen a delicate figure, with black veil covering his face and only a pair of eyes exposed.
The white eyes were soaked in my mind day and night, and I could not admit my mistakes. It was Dong Se's autumn pupil. But why did Dong Se come to Dongluo to find her? Why did she not meet her clearly? Did she see the intimate scenes of herself and Ye Taoling?
In an instant, thousands of thoughts flashed through Bai Shu's mind. He walked on the mountain road of the Sword Sect in a daze, searching for the black figure. It was a pity that after a while, he found nothing. Thinking back to the moment when he looked at Dong Se, she could not see any other unnecessary emotions in her eyes except panic.
Bai Shu never saw anyone again, but just left the Sword Sect silently.
In the next half month, Bai Shu turned the Sword Sect to the sky, but he never found any shadow of Dong Se. Bai Shu felt more and more panic. No matter what it was, you could be calm when you had it when you had it, and when one day you were about to lose it, you would do your best to save it.
Bai Shu had a faint feeling at this moment that he seemed to be losing Dong Se. The situation of more than a year cannot turn the sea into mulberry fields, but it is enough to change many things in the world.
Bai Shu, who was in a state of confusion, was still unable to see Dong Se in the end, but he vaguely realized the anxious and urgent mood when Luo Shilan was looking for Bai Wanyun all over the world, and the unattainable despair.
What's more, Bai Shu only found the Sword Sect's three-point land, while Luo Shilan was wandering around and searching for the whole world.
Another month later, a horse galloped outside the Lanxi Ancient Town on the southern border of Yan.
The young man in white clothes and ink hair turned over and dismounted the horse and placed the horse in foster care.
The young man was naturally white and had a slightly immature appearance, but his whole body was completely different from that of a few years ago. There was a kind of celebrity style in every move, obviously the Taoist bones had become.
The Lanxi Ancient Town in front of Bai Shu's eyes has not changed much from the past. It is still covered with snow and sparse figures. Until today, Bai Shu still remembers the first time he came to Lanxi, his whole body was wet with rain and snow, hunger and cold, and in a mess. Bai Shu even remembers the confusion and fear of having no home and nowhere to go after he lost Ling Wen'er.
Time flies, and the old place is revisited. The grief brought by Ling Wen'er's departure to Bai Shu gradually fades away. Now Bai Shu has a shocking cultivation, and the world is almost allowed to roam Bai Shu. The confusion and fear of the future disappear without realizing it, and what remains in the end is nothing more than a sigh.
Walking through the deserted streets and through the scattered crowds, Bai Shu wandered along the snowy road and unknowingly came to Lanxi Ancient Temple.
The cold plums in front of the temple are still there, with a faint fragrance that refreshes the heart. Only where there is plums and snow can it be called a true spirit.
After passing through the plum blossoms and coming to the gate of the ancient temple, the plaque stained by wind and snow was gone. The red lacquer door was mottled and damaged, and the front of the door was covered with thick snow, which seemed to have been wasted for a long time.
Bai Shu was a little surprised, but then he felt relieved. Since Dong Se was hiding and unwilling to see him, even if he really returned to Lanxi Temple and wanted to see Dong Se, it would be in vain.
Bai Shu sighed slightly, his voice drowned between the plum blossoms and snow. He pushed the door, but the door of the ancient temple was locked. Bai Shu couldn't help but wonder, was Master Dukong and Senior Brother Yue Cheng found by Chenghu Temple and left the ancient temple to escape?
Even if the two left, the other monks in the temple should stay. How could they become a scene of people leaving the building?
Bai Shu jumped and climbed up to the wall of the ancient temple. The snow was like a cover in the wall, and there was no trace of the originally winding path.
Bai Shu frowned and jumped into the courtyard, waded through the heavy snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow. After reaching the magnolia tree in the atrium, Bai Shu's shoes and socks were already wet with snow.
The courtyard was silent, and there was no light in the main hall in the distance. It was dark and deep. Bai Shu was revisiting the old place at this moment, unlike returning to the warm and familiar temple that he used to be, but more like stepping into a lost and old ruins site without knowing the depth.
Bai Shu continued to walk forward a few steps, and suddenly stepped on something under his feet. Bai Shu squatted down to search for something in the snow. Soon the snow was cleared away by Bai Shu, and he saw the lush white bones in the Lanxi Temple.
Rather than saying it is white bones, it is more like the dead who have rotted most of the dead. Lanxi has accumulated snow all year round and the temperature is unpredictable. Bai Shu can't tell how long the bones in front of him have been buried by the heavy snow.
But it is not difficult to judge from the monk's robes on these corpses that all the dead were monks in Lanxi Temple.
Bai Shu frowned. He never dreamed that the ancient temple that had left him many warm memories in the past would turn into a Shura hell on this earth after revisiting the old place.
At this moment, the corpse buried in the snow formed a sharp contrast with the large snow-white magnolia flowers above Bai Shu's head. The entire ancient temple was silent and full of ghost energy.
Bai Shumo walked in without saying a word. When she passed by the side hall, she looked at the darkness in the hall and was in a daze in an instant. It seemed that the scene after the snow that day was reappearing, and there should be a woman with long hair hanging down on her shoulders and feet inside, kneeling piously in front of the Buddha.
Her cuteness, agility, stubbornness and weakness, the past appeared vividly before Bai Shu's eyes. His heart softened, and he forgot the bones all over the ground in the ancient temple, and the atmosphere of ghostly aura also dispersed like ripples in the blink of an eye.
Bai Shu had fantasized about reuniting with Dong Se in this side hall countless times, but when he really came to see Dong Se as promised and stepped into this side hall, he found that the hall was covered with dust. The true Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who were once worshipped in the high hall were now crooked and slanted to the ground.
At this moment, the dream overlapped with reality, and the fantasy was shattered in an instant, and Bai Shu couldn't say what it felt like. He walked through the side hall and came to the courtyard. The magnolia was still there, but the koi swimming in the water tank in the courtyard disappeared. The door of the wing room was half-closed, without any anger.
Bai Shu was independent of the snow wall and stared at him for a long time. At the end, Bai Shu sighed quietly, turned his fingers into a sword and left a line of small words on the wall. He wrote a handsome and elegant running script, but the content was a sentence: "When love is not at the right time, why do you want to part with me?"
The pen and ink were sprinkled, and deep sword marks were left on the snow wall. This was not only a portrayal of his relationship with Dong Se, but also the fate of Bai Fangyun and Ling Wen'er. The love between the two generations of people both arose because of Lanxi, but they were helpless to fall with the world.
Golden Wind and Jade Dew are just a vain. Perhaps you will never meet the person you regret for the rest of your life. This is the most beautiful encounter in the world.
Even if it is a woman like Xunmei, even if she has met Bai Shu in her dream, it is just a pity.
At this moment, Bai Shu was a little confused. He didn't know whether he would continue to look for Dong Se. He had no face to face Ye Taoling and could not think about Taixu's affairs. Bai Shu was not an indecisive person, but he clearly did the same thing as Zhang Wuji.
Just as Bai Shu was feeling discouraged, he accidentally caught a line of shallow footprints on the snow surface under the eaves of the wing. If it weren't for the snow accumulation under the eaves, the footprint would have been covered by the snow.
Bai Shu leaned forward and looked carefully. Although the footprints were shallow, they could still judge the delicate figure of the footprint owner by the traces. Judging from the situation in Lanxi Temple, there should be no trace for a long time, but the footprints were obviously new. In this world, there are probably only one person left except Bai Shu.
After searching hard for several days, Bai Shu's heart had already been relieved of most of the energy. Seeing this line of shallow footprints, Bai Shu was excited again. He subconsciously shouted: "Dong Se, are you here?"
Bai Shu's voice vibrated the world, spreading far along the temple wall, and even echoed faintly among the mountains.
Unfortunately, the sound of the sound dissipated, and the ancient temple was still silent. Bai Shu then went to the main hall, to the vegetarian room where everyone used to vegetarian food, the meditation room where the old monk meditated, and the winter lake where the snow egrets played with snow.
The entire Lanxi Temple was covered with snow, and no trace of Dong Se was found.
At this moment, Bai Shu didn't want to explain what happened to Dong Se and Ye Taoling to Dong Se after seeing Dong Se, nor did he think about what both of them had experienced in the past year? He just wanted to see Dong Se, that's all.
In a flash, the scenery had already sunk. Bai Shu had no intention of spending the night in Lanxi Temple. He jumped out of the temple as he did when he came in and walked down the mountain in a daze.
After entering the town, Bai Shu casually searched for an inn and was about to drown his sorrows. Bai Shu did not notice that the neighboring table was a thin woman with a dry hair, dry hair, and dry appearance.
This back was strange, but Bai Shu didn't think about it, and walked up and sat down with his back to the figure. At this point, the two of them were close to each other's appearance. No one could see each other's appearance. They had a very tacit understanding and enjoyed their own dinner without saying a word.
The man's supper was yellow rice porridge, and there was little millet and lots of soup, but she ate it with relish. Bai Shu's supper was only strong wine, so she only drank a few sips and sat in a daze for a long time.
During this period, Bai Shu occasionally said a few words, but he just called the waiter to add wine, but he never thought of looking back and taking a look.
The woman behind Bai Shu had already finished drinking the rice porridge in the bowl, but she sat patiently at the table without moving, as if she was waiting for someone, and seemed to have other thoughts.
Until Bai Shu was drunk and was helped upstairs by the shopkeeper to bed, the woman stood up tremblingly, like a little yellow flower withered in the wind.
