Chapter 275 Li Qiushui: My sister!
Murong Fu's Qi was inexhaustible, yet it consumed almost no internal energy.
When he arrived at Changchun Valley, he seemed to have released the seal, and his internal energy was consumed faster than it was replenished.
This also made Murong Fu certain that Changchun Valley was indeed a blessed place. No wonder the people in the valley could remain forever young. This place was truly magical.
Everyone hurriedly entered the waterfall through the gate in the middle of the waterfall.
When everyone had gone in, Murong Fu flashed and entered the cave before the energy of One Yang Finger dissipated.
Once he entered the cave, the waterfall slowly closed and continued its torrent.
"If this place doesn't look like it, I would have suspected that this is the blessed land of Huaguo Mountain or the Water Curtain Cave." Murong Fu said with a smile.
The cave was not dark. The high priest pointed to a rotten bamboo basket in the corner and said, "This is it. I used to use this basket to collect herbs. It has been here for ninety years and has rotted into rotten wood!"
As he spoke, the high priest swept his palm and the basket instantly turned into powder.
The high priest sighed: "Time is so cruel!"
After ninety years, even the bamboo basket had rotted, and he had grown old.
Only Wu Xingyun remains as young and youthful as ever.
The word "immortal" does not refer to someone who is extremely powerful, but to someone who lives forever and remains youthful.
A strong person who cannot withstand the test of time will be like this bamboo basket from ninety years ago. He will be washed away by time and turned into powder and ashes.
This is also one of the purposes of Murong Fu coming to Changchun Valley.
It is human nature for an emperor to want to become an immortal.
"It's really thick and foggy, and bottomless." Murong Fu was the first to go out of the cave and came to the other side of the cave. There was a steep cliff. Under the cliff, the clouds were deep and the fog was thick, but there were not even flying birds or plants. Although it was unclear, it gave people a gloomy feeling of going straight to the underworld.
Thirty feet away on the opposite side of the cliff is another cliff, which is four or five feet higher than the cliff on this side. That cliff is obviously an entrance. On the cliff wall stands a stone tablet with five large characters "Eternal Spring Valley" written on it in ancient bronze inscriptions.
"It's here, I'm from here!" Tong Lao's usually calm face could not hide her excitement at this moment. She raised her voice and began to shout in a simple and strange way towards the Changchun Valley.
Murong Fu could probably understand a few words and knew that this should be an ancient language.
The Tonglao clan lived in seclusion in Changchun Valley very early. The Changchun Gong in the valley is written in oracle bone script, while the stone tablet in front of the valley is engraved with bell and tripod script, both of which are very ancient characters.
Therefore, this tribe of theirs is unaware of the Qin and Han dynasties, let alone the Wei and Jin dynasties, and their language is also different from that of other places.
Xiaoyaozi can communicate with them. He is really a scholar. He knows bronze inscriptions and oracle bone inscriptions, and maybe he also knows the pronunciation of ancient times.
Tong Lao called for a while, but no one came out of the valley. Tong Lao was feeling sad and suspected that all her tribesmen had been killed by the possessed Xiaoyaozi. Then she heard some chattering in the valley. Soon, a group of young boys and girls in simple clothes appeared at the entrance of the valley.
This group of young boys and girls were all wearing white clothes. The boys were handsome and the girls were beautiful. They really had different styles.
The group of young boys and girls recognized Tong Lao, but they looked uneasy when they saw that Tong Lao had brought so many outsiders with her. After being comforted by Tong Lao and having some conversation with her, they calmed down.
Tong Lao explained to Murong Fu, "It turns out that after Wu Chen left, the valley was relatively peaceful. Master Xiaoyaozi imprisoned himself in the Changchun Spring and never came out. Thirty years ago, a strange woman came to Changchun Valley and became the new village chief. That woman was able to communicate with Master Xiaoyaozi. I asked them to call the village chief over."
Murong Fu was surprised and asked, "Why is there an outsider? Could it be the old lover of the founder? It doesn't seem unusual for a cultivator to have a Taoist partner. The founder must have a wife. When the husband is away, the wife travels thousands of miles to look for him. This is also a common scene."
Tong Lao said, "Don't talk nonsense. Where did the teacher get his wife? A master like the teacher has no interest in women. Do you think he is like you, who will not let go of any woman?"
While the two were talking, the group of boys and girls from Changchun Valley appeared with a young girl.
The girl was dressed in purple, and was pure and elegant, like a fairy from heaven.
When Murong Fu and others saw her, they were all stunned, because this girl looked exactly like Li Qiu Shui.
Murong Fu looked closely and found that the girl had a dimple on the left corner of her mouth and a beauty mole on the right eye. This was the difference between her and Li Qiushui. Wuyazi discovered it earlier than Murong Fu, and looked at the girl infatuatedly, with his eyes full of great joy, great disappointment, great melancholy, and great sorrow. For a moment, he was filled with mixed feelings of sadness and joy, and was speechless.
"She's your sister!" Murong Fu said to Li Qiu Shui.
"Yes, it's my sister!" Li Qiushui was shocked. She looked at the girl opposite and said in a lost voice, "Little sister, why are you here? Didn't you go out and get married?!"
It turned out that the new village chief of Changchun Valley was Li Canghai, Li Qiushui's sister.
Back then, Li Qiushui and Tong Lao competed for Wuyazi's love, but both lost to Li Canghai invisibly.
But Li Canghai was very young at the time, just a little loli, and no one noticed her.
Later, when people learned about this incident, they resolved years of grudges, but no one cared about Li Canghai.
Li Canghai was not a disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect and had not learned the Xiaoyao Sect's martial arts. It is very likely that he has returned to dust.
But no one expected that Li Canghai would come to Changchun Valley to be the village chief.
"Sister, brother-in-law," Li Canghai said to Li Qiushui and Wuyazi, "I haven't seen you for many years, and you are still the same as before."
Li Qiushui said awkwardly: "Don't call him brother-in-law, we have already separated."
Li Canghai said, "Oh, you broke up? That's not surprising. My brother-in-law looked at me with a strange look in his eyes, and I knew that he and you wouldn't be together for long, so I took the initiative to leave. I thought that without me, you would be able to reconcile as before, but I didn't expect that you would still break up."
Wuyazi lowered his head, feeling guilty like a thief.
Li Qiushui and Wu Xingyun did not expect that Li Canghai was very clear about this matter, but then they thought about it and realized that women have a very strong intuition about men.
If a man really likes a woman, even if he doesn't say a word to her, she will soon notice it.
What's more, Li Canghai is also a smart woman.
"Little sister, how come you are in Changchun Valley and become the village chief?" Li Qiu Shui asked curiously.
Li Canghai said: "When I left you, I tried to find some young men, but I found that there was no man in this world that I liked, so I felt that life does not necessarily have to be about love, marriage and having children. So I came to Changchun Valley to find my biological father and practice with him."
"Your biological father?" Li Qiu Shui was stunned and had a bad feeling in her heart.
"My biological father is Xiaoyaozi! He saved mom and our family because he was interested in her. Dad is such an outstanding person, so it was natural for mom to agree. Your father also knew about this, but he acquiesced." Li Canghai said, "Now decades have passed, your father and my mother have turned to dust, there is nothing to hide!"
Murong Fu complained in his heart: It turns out that the style problems of the Xiaoyao Sect were started by the founder!
In Tong Lao's mind, Xiaoyaozi's lofty image as a man who was not interested in women collapsed.
Wuyazi was secretly delighted: Master is not out of touch with the world, he can understand me!
Li Qiushui thought: My father was cheated on by the teacher? How can I not be angry?
Everyone had different expressions.
Li Canghai said, "Before my father left, he told me my life story, gave me a free order and a map, and told me to go to Changchun Valley if I wanted to find him. When I arrived at Changchun Valley, I found that he had gone astray and committed heinous crimes, killing innocent people. He felt very guilty and now repents all day long, trying to break away from the evil path, but it is difficult. Every day, I would chant sutras for him outside to eliminate his evil spirit."
"You guys go now. Changchun Valley doesn't welcome outsiders, especially so many of them. Dad is in his current state and can't see you disciples, and you can't help him!"
After saying that, Li Canghai turned around and left without hesitation.
"Little sister, little sister!" No matter how Li Qiu Shui called out, Li Canghai never turned back.
The boys and girls also chattered and turned back to the valley.
This thirty-meter-high natural barrier naturally blocks the possibility for outsiders to enter Changchun Valley.
It is impossible to fly into the air unless one has reached the supreme grandmaster level of martial arts. Only Xiaoyaozi could enter the valley and take away the Changchun Skill. Other masters could only sigh at the cliff if they came.
