18. The Long Night (Part 1)(1/2)
"Tomorrow is the season of white dew."
Next to Dongting Lake, above a hill, Huang Wusan was holding hands, gently twisting his long beard, looking at the night starry sky above his head, as if he was watching the starry sky. The entire sea of starry sky within his eyes was reflected in his eyes.
The starry sky here is slightly different from that in Mount Tai. Some details in the Milky Way above your head are hidden, and new details are discovered.
It seems that ordinary people have not changed much, but for astrological masters like Huang Wusan, they can interpret more information.
No matter when, when looking at the world from a different perspective, there will always be new discoveries.
“It’s very different.”

The Taoist priest was silent for a few breaths, shook his head, and sighed again.
"What's the difference between astrology and astrology for thousands of years?"
Lin Wandong's voice came from behind, with a sense of fatigue, as if sick and unable to lift his spirits.
Master Lin is already showing his conceit.
The flat belly is slightly raised, and the appearance that he originally paid great attention to is now a little sloppy. Fortunately, the most uncomfortable period has passed and I have already had experience, so I naturally won’t panic.
This time is much better than last time. There is no need to stay alone in the mountains, worried and worried. A few months ago, after being sent back to Jianmen, she has been living in seclusion next to Dongting Lake, claiming to be in seclusion.
Now, most of the disciples of the Sword Sect were transferred to the southeast coast by the head Lin Huiyin to set up defenses. The entire Xiaoxiang Sword Sect was sealed with a mountain, leaving less than 200 people in the sect, which was very deserted, so naturally there was no need to worry about being discovered.
Of course, the biggest difference between this pregnancy and the last time is Lin Wandong's mood changes.
Huang Wupan turned around and said to his childhood sweetheart sitting on a chair, dozing on a tired face:
"Xiaodong, you don't know the secrets of stargazing. You think you don't remember the sea of stars floating when you and I saw you and I childhood, but I still remember it.
What I mean by the difference in astrology does not refer to the changes in the galaxy over the past thousand years, but to another thing.
There are all the stargazing notes from thousands of years ago to the present in my Jade Palace. When I was young, I first learned stargazing, so I went over them and tried to find some experience from them.
But I found that the descriptions of the starry sea by those predecessors were not consistent with the galaxies in the present world. At that time, I thought that my stargazing skills were too bad and I couldn't understand the mystery.
But as I understand the astrology more and more deeply, I found that it was not my fault."
"Hmm? How can I explain this?"
Hearing this, Lin Wandong blinked, she yawned and asked:
"What do you mean is the record of the senior? Or is the change of the galaxy over the years, just like the mulberry fields? I think it is true that the climate in recent years is abrupt and abnormal. If the sea of stars also changes, it is not surprising."
"No, not."
Huang Wusan shook his head. He walked to Shi Zhuo, picked up the kettle placed on the small stove next to him, poured a cup of tea for Lin Wandong, picked it up and delivered it to her mouth.
The other hand was gently placed on Lin Wandong's bulging abdomen, feeling the life that was nurturing.
He whispered:
"When I was thirty, I had a very exaggerated guess, but I never told anyone that the idea was too crazy and too outrageous, but in my opinion, it was not impossible.
Xiaodong, maybe neither I nor my predecessors are wrong. Our interpretation of Xinghai is correct, even if the conclusions are not the same."
Taoist Ziwei looked at Lin Wandong's eyes and whispered:
"Maybe, it's just that the starry sky has changed."
"What's the meaning?"
Lin Wandong was not astrological, but she could also feel the solemnity and doubt in Huang Wu's tragic words, and she asked back.
Taoist Ziwei pursed her lips and said:
"It means literally. After the Battle of Lin'an, I went to the warehouse of the Southern Imperial Heaven Supervision to look for the astrological records of the star-gazing masters who served the king.
They will record the astrological changes every month to confirm and predict the general trend of the world. I read all the records and found that the truth of the matter coincided with what I thought.
Although the records from more than 20 years ago are quite obscure and even concealed by deliberate modifications, I still read the confusion and surprise of the star-gazing masters from it.
I can even understand the panic in their hearts.
Haha, anyone who sees a completely different sea of stars overnight will be shocked."
Huang Wusan held Lin Wandong's slightly cold hand in both hands. He looked at the woman in front of him and said softly:
"The starry sea has indeed been replaced, or in other words, our world has changed. All changes, and all the changes will be traced back to the day when Zhang Moye got the immortal fate."
"What are you talking about this at night?"
Lin Wandong suddenly felt that the surrounding environment became sinister with Huang Wusan's words, and it was a little cunning, which made her twist her body a little uneasy and frowned and said:
"Tomorrow it will be Bai Lu. I'm going to Zhenhailou and go to Penglai. When are you going to set off?"
"Let's go for a while."
Huang Wusan also smiled and stopped talking about the topic just now. He didn't seem to care much about it, and the expression on his face became even more gentle.
In the quiet night, the Taoist priest held his childhood sweetheart into his arms and let Lin Wandong lean on his shoulder. The two of them combined were over seventy years old.
But the gentle and quiet relationship we get along at this time is no worse than that of young people in their twenties and passionate.
It just lacks the hot color of the past and has a bit more of the feeling of being together, an old couple.
Lin Wandong closed her eyes and never mentioned the appointment tomorrow or the matter in Penglai. Both of them knew very well that Huang Wusan was in danger of death when he left.
If the sky is not hanging down the curtain, perhaps tonight will be the last time the two of them will meet each other. But this is how the warriors part, abrupt and full of uncertainty, and everyone is the son of the world, like duckweed in the water.
How can we expect more in the sword light and sabers?
Since ancient times, few great heroes have achieved a good ending. The more famous they are, the more they are. What's more, this is not fighting with people in the world, but fighting against the thousand-year-old ghost for the safety of the world.
After a few breaths, Lin Wandong suddenly asked:
"Brother Wusan, give me a name for this child in my belly. I am not as broad as you, and my knowledge is far inferior. I only know how to fight with swords in my life, but I have little knowledge of writing.
Huiyin's name was also taken from Xiaoxiang Echo Sword, which was a bit unconventional. Now that you and I have reunited, the name of this second child should naturally be decided by you."
"Why did you say this suddenly?"
Huang Wu chuckled lightly and asked, Xiaodong in his arms did not answer. He seemed to feel the graceful meaning of parting, so he pondered for a moment and said:
"Okay, I'll make a decision anyway. I'm a foreigner, and I don't follow the rules of the world. But since Huiyin is ahead, if she can get a sister, she will have to get along with her sisters.
Girl, just call it 'Xianyin', it's up to your surname. I think Huiyin will be happier."
"Um."
Lin Wandong nodded, and a smile appeared on her face, saying in the lazy loli voice:
"What if it's a boy?"
"The boy, I told him to 'know retreat'."
Huang Wusan twisted his beard and said with a smile:
"The so-called 'Jobs are easy to do, and you are happy to retreat', both of you and I are warriors, and we also know the truth that it is easy to break. If you are a boy, I hope he will not enter the martial arts world and spend his life safely."
"Boy takes your last name."
Lin Wandong yawned again and said something a little unhappy:
"Brother Wusan passed away when he was a child and was a foreigner. The Huang family must have a pillar to inherit the incense."
"Well, this is good, and I can give my parents an explanation."
Huang Wusan tightened the beauty in his arms, and he said softly:
"It's late at night, I'll send you a rest. Rest well by the mountains and forests. When the Penglai matter is finished, I'll come to accompany you. In addition, Xiaodong, wait for me to come back...
Let's get married."
"Um?"
Lin Wandong, who was sleepy, suddenly widened his eyes.
She sat up from Huang Wusan's arms, looked at Taoist Ziwei with a serious look on her face, and she said hesitantly:
"Although the Jade Emperor Palace Taoist Sect can't help but marry, you are a master of masters and seniors all over the world. If you suddenly... it will be a detriment to your reputation."
“No.”
Huang Wusan shook his head and said:
"I have decided that when the matter of Penglai is over, I will pass the position of head sect, Yu Chong and his senior brother, and like you, he will remove the title of this senior in the world and retire to the mountains and forests.
By then, if you have nothing to do, how can you talk about reputation?
Besides, I have been in the world for twenty or thirty years and have seen too many fighting and killing, and I am a little annoyed. I just retired and accompany you and your children to grow up. It is also a beautiful thing, and it is even more of what I think in my heart.
I think, you and I don’t have to stay by this Dongting Lake. Every time I fall asleep, I can recall you and I played in the village when I was a child. When I came back, we would go back to the Xianglin village.”
"But the village has long been abandoned."
A trace of yearning flashed in Lin Wandong's eyes, and she pursed her lips and said:
"I went back many years ago to see it. There was a war disaster, leaving only a ruined wall, which made people feel sad."
"It's okay, build a farmhouse, build a house, and open a few acres of land and recruit some farmers. Our hometown will be revitalized again."
