Chapter 332 Peach Blossoms [ask for monthly votes! ]
One of the ten great immortal species, ranked fourth on the Immortal Objects List.
Peach blossoms.
According to legend, the fruit of the peach blossom can forge an immortal body, but no one in the world has ever eaten the real peach fruit. The peach blossom is on Yujing Peak, and ordinary people have no chance to see it. All this is just a rumor.
When Liang Yue heard his senior sister say that she could take him to see the peach blossoms, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Both the peach blossoms themselves and the idea of viewing the flowers with Senior Sister Wen were very attractive to him, so he readily agreed, "Of course that's good."
That night, the moonlight came into the house. Wen Yifan got up and went to the second floor to look for Liang Yue. Liang Yue had not gone to bed yet, so they walked together to the back mountain.
The location of the peach blossoms is deep in the back mountain of Yujing Peak, not in the spiritual garden, and there is no guard nearby. However, there is a cave behind the flower bed, and a centenarian named Chen Yandao lives in the cave.
Even Wang Rulin, who was the most lawless at the time, did not dare to take a look at this "unattended" peach blossom.
Liang Yue guessed that it was because of Senior Sister Wen that he was able to get here without any obstacles.
If I were to move forward here alone, I would probably be suppressed by countless forces along the way.
On the flower bed made of white feldspar, a colorful flower bud was tightly closed, the moonlight was flowing on it, and there was a faint smoke escaping from it. Anyone who smelled it near would feel relaxed and refreshed, and their body would feel healthy and light.
In addition to its colorful appearance, its biggest feature is its size. The entire thick flower stem is as tall as a person, and the flower buds on it can hold several living people. It seems that if the petals are fully unfolded, they may cover an entire living room.
No wonder it is said that Senior Sister Wen can sleep in a flower for a hundred years.
Liang Yue thought to himself that considering the size of the place, it wouldn't be a problem for him and her to live in it together.
If you shift your eyes slightly, you can see the surrounding mountain walls and a gate with a golden plaque hanging on the mountain not far away. Below the misty clouds is the residence of Master Zhan Xuan.
Liang Yue had been to the Heavenly Questioning Tower before, and it was said that the great priest Bei Luo Shimen was on the top floor. However, he felt nothing down there, and could not feel the pressure of the existence of the immortal realm at all.
Although he did not go to the upper level, the cave was still some distance away, but he could already clearly sense the aura of a transcendent existence.
It was like standing on a building that reached the sky. I dared not speak loudly because I could feel the presence of gods in heaven above my head.
Close and real.
It makes people feel awe unconsciously.
Wen Yifan seemed accustomed to this. She just stared quietly at the huge peach blossom in the center, watching the little sparks of light floating in it.
"The Fire Jade Spirit I met at the foot of Honglu Mountain today also mentioned my mother." She suddenly spoke, her voice still ethereal and cold, "I have never seen her, but I have heard many people mention her."
Liang Yue turned his gaze back to Senior Sister Wen. Her slender figure stood in the moonlight, her shoulders thin, her long hair swaying slightly, and she suddenly looked a little lonely.
So it was her previous experience that reminded her of her mother, and that’s why she came here?
He didn't say anything, just listened quietly.
Senior Sister Wen has now recovered her supreme immortal body, so she should not have any feelings of sadness and does not need any extra comfort.
"They say I have lived in this flower for a hundred years. I remember when I was very young, I regarded this flower as my mother. I often sneaked here and slept with it in my arms," Wen Yifan continued.
Liang Yue listened and thought to himself that people are different.
Some people would fight to the death for a pill, while others could sleep with an immortal seed in their arms from birth.
Eh?
He suddenly remembered his own enlightenment tree, where even his horse could lean on it to sleep.
It doesn’t seem to be any different.
"I still remember the feeling of attachment to it, but I don't know what that feeling is called. I have been a supreme immortal body since the day I became conscious, and I can't understand that kind of emotion." Wen Yifan continued, "Later I realized that it should be the dependence on mother." "In fact, the peach blossom has no fruit. The person nurtured in it is its immortal fruit. When the time comes, that person becomes the peach itself and forges an immortal body. At the beginning, mother hoped that I would be a mortal, but I can only survive by becoming an immortal body. I don't know if she will be disappointed."
Listening to her mumbling her thoughts, Liang Yue gradually understood her emotions.
Simply put, I miss my mother.
But she had never seen her mother, and didn't quite understand this kind of emotion. She just regarded the peach blossoms as her reliance on her mother, so she came here to take a look at it.
Senior Sister Wen must also be feeling lonely at this time.
Liang Yue still didn't say anything, but walked up, quietly stretched out his hand, and wanted to put his arm around Senior Sister Wen's shoulders.
It seemed that she didn't resist.
But just as his hand was about to place it, footsteps suddenly sounded behind the flower bed.
They both looked over immediately and saw an old man in a grey cloth robe walking out with a broom, slowly sweeping the dust and dirt under the flower bed.
When he saw Wen Yifan, he smiled and said, "Little kid, you're back again."
"You are..." Wen Yifan didn't seem to know the other person.
"Haha, I'm the old farmer who takes care of the spiritual plants on Mount Sanqing. I'm also responsible for watering and sweeping the peach blossoms. I've been watching you here for at least a few decades." The old farmer smiled and said, "You left a few years later, but the aura on your body can still blend with the peach blossoms. I knew it at a glance."
It turned out to be another person from Yujing Peak who had watched Senior Sister Wen grow up.
Not only watched her grow up, but also watched her grow old.
When Wen Yifan heard the other party say this, he nodded slightly and greeted him.
The old farmer looked at Liang Yue again and asked with a smile, "Is this your young master?"
"He is my junior fellow apprentice." Wen Yifan replied immediately.
Liang Yue explained almost at the same time: "He is just an ordinary junior brother who has a good relationship with me and is quite handsome."
"Haha." The old man smiled knowingly, took out a round stone from his arms, walked up and handed it to Liang Yue, "I am also the in-law of this little kid. I don't have any gifts, so I will give you a piece of this stone under the peach blossoms. Keep it, it may be useful in the future."
Liang Yue took the stone and thought it looked like nothing more than a pebble, nothing special. But when he held it in his hand and felt it carefully, it seemed to have a spiritual connotation.
Since the old man specially took it out, it should not be an ordinary thing, so he nodded and said, "Thank you, old sir."
The old man waved his hand and said, "I don't think there's anything to clean here, so I won't disturb you guys from chatting here. Please do as you please. I'll go to the Spirit Seed Garden to take a look. Ever since it was robbed two years ago, I always feel uneasy if I don't go to check at night."
"..." Liang Yue hesitated to speak.
If I say that I am the thief's apprentice, will the old man take the stone back?
I won’t even give it to you even if you take it back to pad the fish tank!
The old farmer said a few words and then walked away again. But the previous atmosphere was gone, and Liang Yue did not try to embrace Senior Sister Wen again. It was getting late, and he should go back.
Just as the two were about to leave, the peach blossoms bathed in moonlight suddenly swayed, and cracks opened up on the buds, and colorful light flowed out from them.
Wen Yifan was slightly surprised when he saw this, "Huh?"
"The peach blossoms are about to bloom?!"
Good morning.
