14, Chapter 14
The man came slowly and stopped at a distance that was safe enough for Xu Jingxian and the others to see his appearance clearly.
"Hello, you two, we are destined to meet each other. I wonder if I can borrow a fire to keep warm. I also want to spend the night here and go to the city again during the day."
The appearance in memory and the voice in memory are exactly right.
It's just that this smile and this expression are not what he should have.
Chang Ming remained calm and did not answer.
Xu Jingxian spoke first: "Of course, sir, please sit down, but please tell me your name and origin."
Chang Ming couldn't help but look at her. She was wary just now, but now she's proactive and enthusiastic?
Xu Jingxian pulled up her sleeves and whispered to him.
"I think he looks so good-looking, he doesn't look like a monster."
Changming:……
You have become a famous monk after all. Can you stop saying such ridiculous things?
Chang Ming: "I am also good-looking, so why don't you obey my advice?"
Xu Jingxian: "It's different. You are like a human being, and he is like an immortal."
Chang Ming: Do you still look like a dog?
The other party turned a blind eye to their mutterings in front of them, nodded and handed them over.
"My surname is Yun, my single name is Hai. I am a wandering cultivator. I heard that a strange treasure was born in Jiuchongyuan recently, and I came here to have a look. Are you two the same?"
He said it lightly, but the monk who could pass through the first thick fog had some ability. Although Xu Jingxian had a crush on him, he did not dare to underestimate him at all.
"What strange treasure?"
"One day in the first ten days of the month, a purple light shot into the sky over the Ten Thousand Gods Mountain, and it persisted for a long time. Some people said that there was a magic weapon here, and the heavens were sensing it. Others said that in the Nine Layers Abyss, demons were raging, and internal strife broke out. Many people took advantage of this.
Now is the time to come to Jiuchongyuan and see if we can encounter any opportunities."
After Yun Hai finished speaking, he noticed that Chang Ming had been looking at him, and nodded gently towards him.
"You haven't asked the names of these two Taoist friends yet?"
Xu Jingxian smiled and said: "My surname is Xu and my maiden name is Jingjing. Just call me Jing'er. This is a fellow Taoist who is traveling with me. My name is Changming, but we don't know each other very well."
Changming:……
Yun Hai: "I think fellow Taoist Changming is somewhat kind. Have we met somewhere?"
Chang Ming means a lot: "Maybe it's in a dream."
Yunhai laughed: "I have dreamed about it a thousand times, maybe we have actually met in a dream."
Xu Jingxian:???
How come these two people had such weird conversations when they just met?!
In order to prevent herself from becoming an incompatible outsider, she forced herself to change the subject.
"We stumbled into this place unintentionally. We can't get out now, so we can only keep going forward. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Yun knows anything about this place?"
Yun Hai said: "I only know that although this Jiuchongyuan is mysterious and unpredictable, it is not without a blade of grass. Instead, it is populated by urban residents, which is no different from the human world. It just lacks some ordinary people. Basically, they are desperate outside or have little ability.
All in all, strong monks should not be surprised by what they see or hear here."
He was talking in general terms. Xu Jingxian was bored and had to hold back without interrupting.
"Fellow Taoist Yun is talking eloquently, and he must be very confident. We are both novices who have just left the apprenticeship. I wonder if we can go with you tomorrow so that we can take care of each other?"
Yunhai: "Of course you can."
Xu Jingxian was delighted: "Fellow Taoist Yun is such a good person. When we go out, I will definitely invite you to my home!"
Yunhai: "Where does Mr. Xu live?"
Xu Jingxian blinked: "My home is on the east mountain. I can see the sunrise and colorful clouds, and the sea and sky meet. It is much more beautiful than the gloomy place here. And..."
She opened her mouth, her face didn't turn red, her heart didn't beat, and she almost believed it for a long time.
But Yunhai is obviously more interested in Changming than her.
"Where is Fellow Taoist Changming? Do you also live in the same place?"
"I am at home all over the world, and I have no fixed place to live," Chang Ming said.
"Have you really never been to this Nine Layers Abyss, fellow Taoist?" Yun Hai asked.
"It is true that I have never set foot there. Why does Fellow Taoist Yun ask this question?"
"I see that the two fellow Taoists are calm and relaxed. It doesn't look like they are setting out for the first time. They are still thinking about whether they can benefit from you and be less dangerous." When Yunhai smiled, he naturally had a suave and unrestrained style, which made people pay attention.
"I heard that Xu Fenglin also came in a few days ago."
Xu Jingxian concentrated slightly: "Xu Fenglin of the East China Sea Sect? That genius swordsman?"
Yun Hai: "Exactly. I heard that Xu Fenglin was accompanied by a young woman. Just now I thought it was the two of you."
Xu Jingxian exclaimed: "How can we compare with Xu Fenglin if we are just starting out and are not good at learning? But the world says that he is as powerful as a grandmaster. Although I have never seen him, I am a little unconvinced. There are many capable people in this world, such as grandmasters."
But that’s not to say that he should be taken for granted. No matter how capable he is, he can’t be more capable than those great masters who have become famous in the world, right?”
Yun Hai: "I don't know much about this, but Xu Fenglin must be very capable if he can fight with the master of Shenxiao Immortal Mansion for more than 300 rounds at the Thousand Forest Conference without deciding the outcome, and he can also be praised by several great masters.
"
Xu Jingxian: "Xu Fenglin already has a magic weapon as powerful as Fuyun Sword, so why come to Jiuchongyuan?"
Yun Hai smiled: "No one would have too many magical weapons and magic weapons, right? Don't you two come here to get a chance?"
Xu Jingxian took the opportunity to chat with Yun Hai, partly because she really coveted the beauty of the other person, and partly because she wanted to take the opportunity to find out the details of the other person's background. However, the two chatted for a long time, and Yun Hai did not leak anything. Instead, Xu Jingxian's identity as a demon cultivator was exposed.
When it comes to understanding Yun Hai, Chang Ming claims to be the first, but I am afraid no one dares to claim the second.
Because the first time he saw the other person, Chang Ming knew that this person was not named Yunhai at all.
His real name is Yun Weisi.
Yun Weisi, the eldest disciple who once followed him to heaven and earth, but later turned against him and vowed to kill him.
Under the firelight, Yunhai's eyebrows are bright, and his smile is that person, but he doesn't look like that person.
Yun Weisi rarely smiles. Once he devotes himself to doing something, he will completely forget himself and forget about food and sleep until the matter is successfully concluded. Chang Ming had strict requirements on his disciples back then, but no matter how strict the requirements are, Yun Weisi
He could do it perfectly when thinking about it - even if Yun Weisi later put this obsession on chasing Chang Ming.
It was Zhuyu who was in front, and even though he accepted three disciples one after another, Chang Ming still felt that they were still a little behind Yun Weisi.
However, unless Yun Weisi was possessed by a ghost, the Yunhai talking and laughing and moving and retreating freely in front of him would definitely not be him.
Is it a deliberate illusion, or has Yun Weisi experienced a sudden change in his temperament?
From Xiao Yun, the young man in the mountain behind Qixianmen, to the sea of clouds at this moment, Chang Ming always felt that his every move seemed to be controlled by others.
This made him feel like a bug stuck in a spider web, and the slightest movement would attract the attention of predators.
"Fellow Taoist Changming, you keep looking at me, do you think of the old friend in your dream?"
The voice from the sea of clouds came, interrupting his meditation.
"There is indeed such an old friend, but he is very similar to you, but not at all like you."
The sea breeze ruffled Chang Ming's temples and made his voice drift away.
Jiuchongyuan is equivalent to another world, and the sea here does not seem to be much different from the sea on earth.
But Chang Ming never thought that one day he would be able to talk calmly around the fire with someone who looked exactly like Yun Weisi.
Yun Hai: "Since they are very similar, how can they be completely different?"
Chang Ming: "Likeness is the appearance, dissimilarity is the character of the mind."
Yun Hai: "I feel even more confused when I hear this. We met by chance, Taoist fellow Taoist, can you tell my character at a glance?"
Chang Ming: "You just came out of the mist. Your hands are dripping, which means you have just washed your hands. The exposed part of your inner clothes is stained with water red. It should be the blood and water mixed together and fainted. You have just killed someone, and you don't want to get dirty.
Clothes, my hands occasionally pluck the dirty sleeves, don’t be awkward, it’s completely different from my old friend.”
When Yun Hai heard him say that he had killed someone, he didn't refute, and still smiled.
"Does your old friend never kill anyone?"
Chang Ming: "Kill him too."
Yunhai: "Oh?"
Chang Ming: "If you want to kill, just kill. He won't bother to care about these details."
Yunhai smiled and said: "Those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters. It sounds like your old friend is a person who achieves great things."
Chang Ming: "He lived a wandering life when he was young, saw wealth and experienced many hardships. He didn't care much about things outside him, nor did he care about friends and enemies. Many people thought he was heartless, but in fact he just knew that many things were lost too easily, and people
Your energy is limited and you can only grasp what is most important to you."
Yun Hai sighed: "This is a natural-born monk who is most suitable for pursuing the path of immortality. Does that mean he has become an immortal now?"
Chang Ming: "No, but I think if he can stick to his original intention and continue to practice, this day will come sooner or later."
Yun Hai: "What about Fellow Taoist Changming? Your old friend has already achieved the ability to ascend, but why are you still so downcast?"
Chang Ming asked, "Am I down and out?"
Yunhai nodded: "I'm so depressed that I--"
Before he finished speaking, there was a loud bang in the distance!
The three people immediately raised their heads following the sound, and flames shot up into the sky in the direction of the first abyss, illuminating half of the sky in an instant.
