Chapter 183 Two thousand years of waiting
Yu Jiaping died unexpectedly in order to protect his fellow disciples in the battle with zombies at the foot of the mountain. His body was eaten up by the zombies, and his soul was taken away by the evil people and disappeared.
Huang Yuyan, who could not withstand the blow, cried on the cliff at the mountain gate for three days and three nights. On the third day, she died suddenly due to excessive sadness.
A couple who should have been blessed by heaven and earth both died for a while, one was missing, and the other became a lonely ghost.
After Huang Yuyan died, her soul floated on the cliff at the Maoshan Gate. She said nothing, with a disheveled face, just looking at the east side of the mountain, and for ten years.
Ten years have passed, although Tao Hongjing ordered his disciples to do their best to investigate the whereabouts of Yu Jiaping's soul, the news he has obtained over the past ten years has been sporadic.
Many new disciples who join Maoshan will point to the lonely soul on the cliff and ask their seniors: Who is that? Why are there ghosts staying in front of our Maoshan Gate?
The answers given to them by the seniors are all the same.
That was a poor person, his attachment to his lover.
Some love is like a piece of thin paper, without any ups and downs, and will be torn into pieces with a little breeze. However, some love is as firm as a rock.
Finally, Tao Hongjing couldn't bear to watch the girl in such pain day and night. He came to the cliff alone and wanted to send Huang Yuyan to reincarnate.
"Let's go, Jiaping may have been wiped out."
"Don't leave."
"Go to the underworld and cross the Naihe Bridge, you can still look at your past with Jiaping on the Three Lives Stone, drink Mengpo soup, and forget everything and be reincarnated as a human being."
"Drinking Mengpo soup can only be forgotten for a lifetime, but Jiaping is in my heart and will never die. After my death in the next life, I will come to Naihe Bridge and think of Jiaping; after my death in the next life, the same Naihe Bridge will still think of Jiaping. This is the real life is worse than death."
Tao Hongjing also missed his eldest disciple very much, and finally chose to compromise. He held a pen to paint on paper, and his pen turned into a bamboo forest map in Yan Ning's hand.
"If you have to wait, just wait here. On the day when Jiaping comes back, if you see you like this, you may blame me, the master for not taking good care of you."
...
Huang Yuyan lived in the bamboo forest map. The bamboo forest map had its own small world. Huang Yuyan felt very warm inside and her cultivation also improved very quickly.
But - Yu Jiaping did not come back.
In a thousand years, Huang Yuyan witnessed the prosperity and decline of Maoshan in the picture scroll, and finally flowed into the world. In a flash, she fell into the hands of a corrupt official and was hidden in the cellar for hundreds of years. She was also bought by collectors and hung on the wall for decades.
In the end, perhaps by chance, she fell into Yan Ning's hands. When she found out that Yan Ning was a descendant of Maoshan, she immediately walked out of the painting and recognized him.
After listening to Huang Yuyan's story, Yan Ning was also a little confused. Unexpectedly, behind this picture of the beauty in the bamboo forest, there was such a sad love story hidden, which was comparable to Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai in the past, Romeo and Juliet abroad, Jack and Ruth on the Titanic.
"The most inexpensive thing in the world is the pitiful people," Yan Ning sighed and asked, "Do you want to ask me to find Yu Jiaping?"
Huang Yuyan nodded sincerely.
"But two thousand years have passed, does he really exist?" Yan Ning hesitated, "What's more, this sea of people is vast. Even if he really exists, I can't find him for the rest of my life."
Huang Yuyan hurriedly said, "I have practiced in painting for the past two thousand years and have become very knowledgeable about Taoism. If Senior Brother Jiaping's soul appears within a radius of hundreds of miles, I will be able to detect it!"
"Also have this skill?" Yan Ning was surprised and asked carefully, "Dare you ask what kind of Taoism you are now?"
Huang Yuyan said weakly: "I don't know it myself, but with my knowledge back then, there should be no problem with dealing with the bull-headed and horse-faced face."
Huang Yuyan's voice was soft and weak, but Yan Ning was shocked.
Who is the bullhead and horse face? The top ten Yin Zhengs in the underworld! Something of the same level as Hei and White Impermanence may not be as strong as Hei and White Impermanence, but it should not be underestimated!
However, when Yan Ning felt relieved when he thought that Huang Yuyan had been doing nothing in the bamboo forest painting for two thousand years, even if he didn't work hard to practice, he would not be much worse.
Huang Yuyan already has such skills, but she still looks timid, which makes Yan Ning feel uncomfortable all over.
However, with Huang Yuyan's powerful helper, what else is Yan Ning worried about? Will he go sideways when he meets Fan Wuji again in the future?
"I'll find it for you!" Yan Ning slapped his thigh and agreed readily.
Such a terrible ghost, he took the initiative to ask Yan Ning to help her. If Yan Ning refused, wouldn’t it be no different from a fool?
When Huang Yuyan saw Yan Ning agreeing, she showed joy and thanked her repeatedly, but Yan Ning felt even more proud: Yu Jiaping may not be where. Even if she can't find Yu Jiaping, if she encounters any difficulties in the future, Huang Yuyan will never be willing to die. With such a strong backing, how can Yan Ning be unhappy?
However, Huang Yuyan's next words made Yan Ning fall from heaven to hell: "I have been in the painting for a long time, and my soul and the painting are closely connected, so I cannot leave the scroll too far, otherwise I may lose my soul."
Yan Ning was stunned, looked back at the huge scroll, and couldn't help but say, "Will I go out with this scroll in the future?"
Yan Ning may encounter any difficulties in the future. It would be too inconvenient if he brought the picture with him at any time.
"There is another way," Huang Yuyan took off the bracelet in her hand and said, "I can temporarily attach myself to this bracelet, which will also make it easier for you to take me to find Senior Brother Jiaping. The bracelet is also related to me, so it can delay the time when I become weak. As long as you let me go back to the scroll to cultivate every once in a while, it is okay."
Yan Ning felt a little more uncomfortable after hearing this. No matter what, Huang Yuyan was still very strong, although there were so many restrictions.
At this time, Zhuang Xiaoya suddenly knocked on Yan Ning's door. Yan Ning was startled and looked at Huang Yuyan. A beautiful female ghost suddenly appeared in her room. Zhuang Xiaoya would never listen to her explanation. Fortunately, Huang Yuyan was smart and handed the bracelet to Yan Ning directly, and then turned into a blue smoke and drilled into the bracelet.
Yan Ning looked at the dark green bracelet and found that there was dark light flowing on it, which must be a priceless treasure.
"Stinky Yan Ning, open the door quickly, I have something to tell you!" Zhuang Xiaoya slapped the door outside the door, and Yan Ning quickly opened the door:
Chapter completed!
